Chapter 24

Xandar’s smile increased in its radiance as he continued, “In our history, no Queen was known to have

fought alongside her people. It’s because of that that Lucianne was ready to sever our mate bond to

continue to fight for those who couldn’t.” There were gasps of shock and despair that didn’t even bother

to be subtle, mostly from the werewolf community. Juan, Tate and Toby started feeling uneasy. 2

Xandar smiled as he continued to speak, “And to be honest, she would have been doing the right thing.”

This garnered no laughter or support, only silence and confusion. “I don’t see why she must give up

protecting our people when the whole point of being a Queen is to protect the people. (This will be

Her name will go down in history for many great things. But arguably, the most significant thing that Lucy

will be known for is being the first Queen to grace the battlefields with her presence, and fight alongside

our people. I would be an idiot of a King if I forbade her from continuing what she does. Werewolves, you

will not lose her. Lycans, you have no idea how fortunate we are to have her.” 1

Lucianne’s eyes were already glistening, touched by Xandar’s words. He kissed the back of her hand

before saying, “Our Goddess could not have blessed our Kingdom with a more qualified Queen. And I

can only hope to be a King worthy enough to rule alongside you, my dear.”

As Xandar held onto her hand, he knelt on one knee and tilted his head down to bow in her direction

before addressing Lucianne in a thunderous voice, “My Queen.” 1

Lucianne’s posture straightened in shock. Behind Xandar, Christian knelt and bowed in the same manner

as his cousin, and addressed her equally loudly, “My Queen.”

One by one, everyone in the hall, including the members of the alliance, knelt, bowed and uttered ‘My

Queen’ in the way that their King and Duke were doing. Lucianne was so stunned that, for a moment,

she could not find her voice.

When she found it, she took a deep breath and said, “Rise. All of you.” Even she was surprised by the

power which exuded from her vocal chords. It was so different from how she normally spoke that she

wondered whether it was really her who said it.

Xandar and Christian were the first to stand, their grins wide. She turned to face everyone, and when the

last person stood up, her voice rang through the hall in a way she had never heard before, “Long ago, I

made a promise to myself that as long as I live, I will do everything i n my power to protect the innocent

and defend the vulnerable. Tonight, I am making that same promise to everyone in this Kingdom. It is an

honor to have fought alongside so many brave and noble warriors and leaders over the years, all of

whom I’m proud to call my brothers and sisters. And it is with esteemed pleasure that I continue to serve

to the best of m y abilities.”

She bent her knees slightly, and her head tilted to bow back to the crowd before she regained

her standing position and continued, “You can be assured that I will not stop until every last threat has

been neutralized. I will not give up even when I’m weakened. I will fight alongside you, and together, we

will win.”

A deafening round of applause and cheers filled the air in the dining hall. Her voice radiated

thority and nobility. Everyone who wasn’t jealous of her looked at her i nawe. Even some of the Lycans

started looking at her with some form of respect and

admiration. Xandar was the proudest man in the room and the happiest Lycan alive.(This will be

“You and your cousin have a strange definition for the word ‘fun’, dearest.”

She felt his lips curled into a smirk by her ear when he said, “Ah, yes. Thank you for reminding me, my

love. Here comes the fun part.”

He pulled back from her only to lift her chin up before smashing his lips onto hers. Lucianne was caught

off guard. She didn’t think Xandar would kiss her on her lips in front of his subjects. When she regained

her senses and pulled away, she pecked Xandar on his lips before shaking her head slightly in

disapproval with a shy smile.

Xandar noted his mate’s beautifully-blushed cheeks, and kissed her sweetly on her forehead before they

turned back to the even more enthusiastic crowd. Christian was patting his cousin on the shoulder like he

was congratulating him.

‘That’s a very huge progress since last night, cuz. Look at this room. There’s no way she can’t rule as our

Queen.’

Xandar smiled as he gazed at Lucianne, ‘I have no doubt she’ll do better than any of the Queens from

the past.’

Juan pulled Lucianne into a hug and linked, ‘We‘re so happy for you, Lucy. Hale and I. You’ve deserved

this for years now. It’s about time you got it.’

‘The mate or the praise?’

Juan chuckled through the mind link. ‘Both, Lucy. Both.’ 1

‘Thank you, Juan. For everything.’

They pulled apart, and he looked at the Gamma whom he had been calling his sister for as long as they

both could remember. “Lucy, it’s more appropriate for me to thank you. For everything you’ve done for

us.”

Tate’s voice came from the side, “Why are you guys getting so sentimental?(This will be daily

The King just said that we are not going to lose her!” He held Lucianne for only a short moment and

patted her o n the back. “Glad that’s cleared up eh, Lucy?”

“You have no idea. Thanks, Tate. For making me talk.” Lucianne smirked.

Dinner carried on after that. Lucianne introduced Xandar and Christian to a few more pack members who

had concerns regarding rogue attacks and financial hardship. Many

werewolves walked up to Lucianne to express their concern before thanking her for her contribution and

her sacrifices. She was flustered, and kept emphasizing that she couldn’t have done it without the

warriors and leaders who fought with her. 1

Every time someone thanked Lucianne, Xandar’s heart swelled with pride. Even some Lycans walked up

to her to introduce themselves. They were proper and polite, clearly not used to speaking to a werewolf.

Lucianne didn’t press for their conversation to be natural. She knew that it would take time. It was

astonishing enough that they were trying.

After Xandar walked her to her room, he pulled her into a deep, passionate kiss before letting her go. He

looked at her dreamily with a smile plastered on his face until she closed the door behind her. His animal

was not whimpering as loudly as it normally would. That night, he had no trouble falling asleep.

In a luxurious bar at the far end of the city, Sasha Cummings was on her eight glass of wine i n her

private lounge but she was nowhere near being calm or drunk. She emptied the wine glass, threw it at

the wall and the broken pieces of glass joined the previously broken wine glasses. (This will be

The minister’s daughter scorned her guest seated in front of her, who had a serious expression on his

face.
