The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 183 Greg only woke up when another knock on his door came. If that was Livia again, he didn’t know if he could restrain his animal from scratching her face and tearing out her organs. As he thought about the endgame drawing near, he walked to the door and opened it.

To his relief, it was only the heiress, who invited him to have tea. Greg played dumb and asked, “What did I do? I left the toilet seat up this time.” Kelissa rolled her eyes and said, “It’s just a grateful gesture for your years of supporting our business, your Grace.” Liar. But not a bad one, actually.

“Fine.” Greg groaned. So much for

wanting to stay in his room until Lucianne came and break him out of this sh*thole. He still found it hilarious that the Kyltons gave him access to Wi-Fi without considering that he would use it to pinpoint their location.

Maybe it was because they didn't know that he could still mind-link without detection to send out orders.

As Greg walked with the heiress, he muttered, “I’m impressed to see you so composed after the news all over the internet, Kylton.” That was definitely the right thing to say for someone who didn’t hear the heiress’s mad scream. Kelissa’s rage showed again as she replayed the news in her head. But instead of throwing a fit, she simply smirked and said, “well, I learn from the best.”

Greg prayed that she didn’t mean him.

He didn’t want this failure to be his student. When they entered the tea room, the Lord and Lady paused their discreet chatter and smiled at the Duke. Sasha and Livia stopped their gossiping, too. Tanner looked like the most left out one there. @&» ‘What the f*ck do these losers want?’, Greg thought as he returned everyone’s fake smiles.

After he was seated and given Earl Grey, Kelissa got to the point, “Well, your Grace. You've read the news. It seems that our plan has gone down the drain, and things are...complicated now.” “No, sh*t. Is that why I’m here? To whine and complain with all of you?”

“No, your Grace.” Lord Kylton began before his daughter’s scowl made him lean back for her to continue speaking.

The heiress turned back to the Duke with a less hostile gaze and uttered, “We're not here to complain. We're here to talk about what could have gone wrong, and, if possible, to finda solution together.” “Ah, that’s not so bad.” Greg leaned back into his seat and crossed his legs before he asked despite already knowing the answer, “So, who's starting?” Kelissa, as the leader, said, “I think I should go first. I propose that we come | up with a Plan B as soon as possible, and execute it with all immediacy. The plan we sent to the rogues took too

long to execute. Had we brought the plan forward, the rogues would've gotten the work done before the...infiltration...happened. We were hoping that you’d have some form of connections to get the job done, your Grace.” @ Livia then asked, “The plan is to kill the wolf now, right?” Greg's hand supporting his chin balled into a tight fist, and he kept picturing Lucianne in his head to restrain his growling animal that was trying to push itself forward.

Kelissa glanced at Greg before she showed her cousin a fake smile and said, “Let’s leave death aside for now.

We were hoping that you’d have some kind of resources, your Grace. We could consider something less--"

Livia butted in again, “1 don’t get why death should be left aside. The wolf is marked. The only way to get to your end goal now is to kill her. Do you need her alive for some reason?” The Duke thought this was a perfect time to start a front-row seat soap opera, so he turned to Kelissa and asked with a taunting smile, “Are you going to tell her?” Livia’s eyes widened when she asked, “Tell me what?” Kelissa scowled at Greg but the Duke was not going to take back what he just said. Livia repeated her question, louder and fiercer this time. She earned a glare from her uncle and aunt but she couldn't care less.

Next to her, Sasha smirked when she caught on, and she said, “You were

promised the wolf, weren't you, your Grace? That's why the heiress is also pinned on keeping her alive.” Greg was impressed that, of all people, the dumb blonde got the answer. “So, there is a brain in that head of yours, Cummings. Bravo.” Livia’s eyes turned onyx, and her hard stare was on Kelissa when she gritted her teeth and said, “You promised that he was MINE.” Kelissa was unperturbed as she responded, “If the circumstances change, our plans have to change with it. The end goal comes first, Livia.” Livia scoffed darkly and added, “You think you can just overrule everyone and sweep away what the rest of us were promised when we decided to help you? You think you can make us

fall in line and you think you know everything? Well, let me tell you something you don’t know: Sasha | already bought Oleander from the rogue Alpha, saying that it was to kill Seb when it is actually to kill YOU after you tore the wolf away from the King!” @ «LIV!” Sasha exclaimed in shock at her secret coming out from her confidant’s mouth.

Greg muttered in amusement, “Ooo...plot twist.” Well, not for him since he eavesdropped on everyone's conversations in the house. € Kelissa hissed, “Shut up, your Grace! Just because my promise to you remains intact, it doesn’t mean you have to flaunt it!” Greg's sharp hearing picked up

something not far away from the other side of the door but from the blank looks on everyone else’s faces, he concluded that he was the only one who heard those sounds. So, he played dumb and responded to the fuming Kelissa, “Flaunt? Heh! Kylton, get real.

You've already decided to kill Lucianne.

And you already backstabbed me when you sent the rogue to forcibly mark the Qu--" “Wolf.” Kelissa insisted, her eyes showing some onyx shades despite her parents’ surprised looks when Greg mentioned things that were not discussed with any advisor.

Greg raised his eyebrows at the heiress’s interruption, and reminded himself that he was going to be there for only another few more minutes at most. The Duke gritted his teeth, and

said in a low voice, “If you read the news properly, Kylton, you'd know that she is one of us now. She’sa Lycan. She's the Lycan Queen.” At that very moment, the door fell off its hinges as it burst open. 9
