The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 70

Lucianne narrowed her eyes in Zeke’s way, “We’ve been through this, Zeke. Tate changed himself,

and…” “No, he didn’t.” Toby uttered with a taunting smirk in his Alpha’s way.

Lucianne threw Toby a glare before going back to Zeke, “He did. And let’s get one thing straight. For

Xandar… I didn’t… ‘make him kneel to me.”

When everyone heard the sound of metal slamming onto the floor, their sights returned to the next room.

Chief Dalloway slammed the rogue’s chair upright again and the three men resumed their seats as well.

The rogue coughed a few more times before he answered Xandar’s question from earlier, “N-N o. My

instructions were to eliminate the wolf. The white one with a striped tail. We were not told that she was

the Queen.” 1

Toby scoffed and commented mercilessly, “Some Tacticians they have.”

“Didn’t even do their research right.” Sylvia said in agreement.

Lucianne wasn’t sure if she agreed. At the time of the attack, she wasn’t exactly welcoming to the idea of

being Queen yet. And technically speaking, she wasn’t their Queen now. Everyone just called her that.

So, Lucianne said, “Well, they’re not exactly wrong. I mean, I’m technically not the Qu…”

“Shush, Lucy.” Toby cut her off, and then he threw her a cheeky smile before offering a small bow and

saying, “My apologies. What I meant to say was, ‘Shush, my Queen’.”

Lucianne narrowed her eyes before pushing Toby with just enough force to make him tilt sideways as he

chuckled. Tate allowed himself a brief look at Lucianne before returning his sights to the next room.

Xandar continued, “Why her?”

“We were not told that either. We’re never told why we are to target a certain… target. The only one privy

to these reasons would be the boss. Not even the Tacticians would know. As fighters, we are just told

who we’re after, how we are to attack, when and where the attack should take place.”

“Why the Jewel Pack?”

“Their warriors are weak. We were to attack to draw out the target.”

Juan exclaimed in anger, “You were instructed to kill pack members until my sister showed u p to defend

them?!” Even the wolves in the other room were agitated. Zelena stood up from her chair, and inched

herself nearer to the glass, simmering in fury. Tate’s hands were clenched into tight fists. Toby, Raden

and Sylvia stiffened in controlled anger.

The rogue’s lips were sealed, until Xandar growled, “Answer him.”

“Yes.”

Low growls were emitted in the watching room, and Lucianne said cautiously with evident worry, “Guys,

we’re good. He’s cuffed up. Everyone is safe. Let’s all just calm down.” Everyone watched their smallest

member and threw each other cheeky smirks again before Juan’s shouting caught their attention.

“How did you know she would be there?! Anyone could have gone there to fight off the rogues instead!”

“Answer.” Xandar commanded.

“B-Because the research was done. She showed up whenever weak packs needed help. We were

assured that she would be there. If she weren’t, we were told to kill until she came.”

SS

No one could deny this. Whenever Blue Crescent had to pick which ally to help during simultaneous

rogue attacks, Lucianne always got Juan to let her and her warriors go to the most vulnerable pack first.

They would then ask other equally strong packs to assist the other allies under attack.

Juan continued pressing, “And if she didn’t show up when the whole pack is eliminated?”

The rogue’s tired and angered eyes met Juan’s, “We would attack the next most vulnerable

pack.”

“Sick b*stards!” Lucianne hissed in a soft voice. Her eyes began glistening with anger and guilt as she

imagined the number of lives that would’ve been lost if she showed up later. It meant that…those eleven

warriors died because of her, because they were trying to draw her out.

Tate seemed to have read her mind when he said in a low voice, “Lucy, the Jewel Pack’s casualties are

not your fault. You shouldn’t be blaming yourself. You saved the rest of them. W e all did. Their Beta

himself told you that the pack owes you. This is the rogue’s fault, Lucy, not yours. Don’t think otherwise,

okay?”

Lucianne took in his words before nodding meekly and throwing him a grateful smile,” Thanks, Tate.” He

offered her a small smile in return.

The rogue scoffed arrogantly all of a sudden, and then made a remark on his own, “Such a small-sized

thing even for her kind. The wolf’s life was hardly worth saving.” 2

The three of them growled in unison. Xandar growled a second time before he broke the rogue’s nose,

left ear and fractured his chin before shouting, “HOW DARE YOU SPEAK ABOUT OUR QUEEN IN

THAT MANNER?! IF SHE DIDN’T ASK ME TO SPARE YOUR LIFE, YOU’D JOIN YOUR FRIENDS IN

HELL RIGHT NOW!”

The rogue smirked, “Spare my life? She left me here to be tortured. I’ve shown her mercy by

killing her.”

It was Xandar’s turn to smirk, “Now, who told you that she isn’t still alive and well?”

The rogue registered Xandar’s arrogant declaration, and his eyes were suddenly filled with horror as he

muttered under his breath, “That’s not possible. It was silver. He’s bluffing. You’re bluffing!”

“Is he?” Christian challenged. The rogue looked at the three men. It didn’t look like they were hiding

anything.

He continued to mutter in disbelief, “Impossible. The amount of silver was lethal.” He then challenged the

three men weakly, “She didn’t survive. No wolf would’ve. You’re just making m e think that I’ve failed so

that I’ll blurt out information!”

Xandar scoffed darkly before he locked his murderous onyx eyes with the rogue’s doubtful ones as he

asked rhetorically, “Do you think that you would be sitting here with just bruises and fractures if you

had…. killed MY mate?” The word ‘killed’ was visibly hard for Xandar to say. “You’re only able to remain

in one unbroken piece now because she survived. Pretty sure your boss isn’t too happy about that. Your

credentials must be tainted as well so I don’t see why you should have to leave us. Now, here’s what I

want you to do,”

Everyone sat upright as they waited for what Xandar was going to say next. The King radiated his

authority once more as he compelled, “I want your name and every alias you’ve used. I want the names

of everyone you know in Wu Bi Corp. I want you to tell Chief Dalloway here about your history in this line

of business. I want addresses, contact information, hide-outs, meet-up points and any location you’ve

used to receive your instructions. I want every transaction made to and from you to be on paper. Do you

understand me?”

The rogue was already drenched in sweat with being slammed, punched, strangled and mentally forced

against his will. He only managed to stay silent for two seconds before he gritted his teeth and muttered

a reluctant, ‘Yes, my King.”

“Would you hurt our Queen again?”

The rogue gritted his teeth, “N-No.”

“Would you try to kill her again?”

“N-No.”

“What should you do if you are in the Queen’s presence?”

Xandar was really not playing fair now. He was basically forcing the rogue to spit out whatever Xandar

himself wanted to hear using the King’s Authority.
