Chapter 107
“Uh…” Christian started groping for the right words, and Lucianne raised her eyebrows waiting for a
proper sentence to come out of his mouth, which never came.
Christian gave up trying and looked at Toby before he asked, “Gamma Tobias, could you show me that
backflip the Queen taught us this moming again?”
Everyone saw through the Duke’s terrible attempt to change the subject. Toby looked at Lucianne for
what to do next. She gave her best friend a meek smile and said, “Go on, Toby. Guide the Duke.”
“Okay, sure.” Toby agreed without question, and he gestured Christian to another mat close by.
She walked to her mate as he got up. She didn’t even bother beating around the bush when she linked,
‘What is it that you’re not telling me?’
His eyes widened and locked with hers when he linked frantically in response, ‘What? Nothing!’
“Then why did you two freeze like statues when Toby and I showed up? And do you think I didn’t notice
that your mind was elsewhere at breakfast?’
He sighed. ‘Lucy, I’m just worried.’
‘About the corruption case?’
‘It’s more than that.’
‘Like what?’
Xandar averted his eyes as he linked, ‘Babe, it’s nothing. You don’t have to know.’ 1

Lucianne raised her eyebrows before scoffing to herself and linking, ‘I don’t have to know, I see.’ She
was biting her lower lip as her eyes fixed on the ground when Xandar looked at her. She turned, and was
about to walk away when Xandar grabbed her arm and turned her to face him. Her angered face and
glistening eyes broke Xandar and his animal. What had he done?
“Baby, what’s wrong?” Xandar asked as he cupped her cheeks.
She averted her eyes and took his hands away before she said, “It’s nothing. You don’t have to know.”
She tried to break away but Xandar’s grip on her elbows didn’t allow it.
“Lucy, I’m sorry I said that. It won’t happen again. Just…please…I love you. Baby, just tell me what’s
bothering you.”
“What’s bothering me is that you aren’t telling me what’s bothering you. Think you can fix it?”
He stiffened as he took in her hurt expression which made his own animal whimper. Xandar then
pressed her body into his chest as he muttered, “I’m sorry, sweetheart. I just have a lot going on in my
mind. I was just thinking that…when Greg left you the evidence last night, some part of me felt that he
did it because he’s in love with you. I was so scared that you’d be in love with him too.”
With her hands on his chest, she parted their bodies only slightly for their eyes to meet. Lucianne then
said, “Xandar, you should probably take the day off. Your mind isn’t working right.”
Xandar began, “That cousin of mine has never done anything selfless…”
“I wasn’t talking about your cousin, your Highness.” Lucianne hissed softly. When Xandar paused, she
continued hissing as quietly as she could, “How the h*ll did you come up with the insane conclusion that I
may be in love with him?! Or that I would be in love with anyone who’s not you?!”
Lucianne’s infuriated eyes burned into his relieved ones. He felt like he was liberated of a huge weight
that he had been carrying on his shoulders. The tightness in his chest loosened, easing his anxiety.
Xandar kissed her deeply on her lips before whispering, “Thank you, baby. I needed that. I love you.”
She shook her head in total disbelief with whatever Xandar just told her before pecking a kiss on his lips
and uttering firmly, “I know. I love you too. And for the millionth time, my indecent beast, I’m with you.
Only you.” Xandar chuckled lightly and gratefully with glistening eyes. 2
As Lucianne walked away, she muttered just loud enough for Xandar to hear, “First he got jealous o fa
four-year-old, then he got mad at an Alpha I trained, now he’s worried I’ll fall for his cousin who pissed
me off more than once. Wonder what’s next.” Xandar’s carefree chuckle through their link somehow
managed to cool her own anger.
When she walked past Christian and Toby, she yelled out, “Hey, Christian. Thanks for throwing that
punch at the King. I appreciate it.”
Christian’s eyebrows raised in surprise so he studied his cousin. Xandar seemed like he was almost
back to normal as he stared at his mate with a wide smile across his face, the epitome of a man truly in
love. Christian’s turned on his dramatic switch, and offered a slight bow to Lucianne before he said, “It’s
always a pleasure to be of service, my Queen.”

Toby said, “Yeah, I figured. I was just playing along.” The Gamma then looked at the Duke and said,
“Interesting excuse, your Grace, but a very poor attempt at changing the subject.”
Christian burst out laughing again. “I can’t disagree.”
Lucianne then said, “Christian, use techniques three, five and one, in that order. You should be able to
take down your cousin within two minutes.”
“WHAT?! BABE! YOU’RE HELPING HIM OVER ME?!” Xandar exclaimed, garnering a lot of attention
from the Lycans and wolves nearby. Christian was already jogging excitedly to the sparring mat, ready to
take down his cousin.
Toby was trying to suppress his smile next to Lucianne as she said, “Maybe he’s the next one you’d want
to worry about, darling.”
Xandar knew that she was clearly teasing him. “So, you’re just going to let me die, my love?”
Lucianne rolled her eyes, and said, “Just invert your attacks. Switch your left attacks to right attacks, and
right to left. That might keep you alive.”
“Might?” Xandar questioned.
“Might.” Lucianne affirmed with a smirk.
Just when Xandar got into position and was about to spar Christian, everyone on the field heard a high-
pitched AHHHHHHHHHHHH–‘before it was replaced by a fierce growl.
A grey Lycan sped from not far away and knocked down many sparring pairs in less than five seconds
before it leaped from the ground to pounce on Lucianne and Toby.
