The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 22

After a long while of enjoying each other’s company in silence, Lucianne said, “I wonder if the others have had enough rest. We haven’t eaten so we should probably attend dinner.”

Xandar then said, “Lucianne, we can always call room service. You should rest. After what you’ve been through today, I will personally break the necks of anyone who think of questioning your absence.”

“I’m fine, Xandar, really. I can go. But I need to change first.” She then looked at him and said,” So do you if you’re going.”

He smirked and kissed her cheek. “As if I would leave you there with all my competitors trying to win your heart.”

She narrowed her eyes and declared bluntly, “I am not interested in Sebastian Cummings.”

He hugged her tightly. “Oh, I know. He’s not the one I’m worried about, sweetheart. There are s o many others who want you the way I do. I feel like the Moon Goddess is taunting me by giving me a mate who comes with a whole army of admirers to fight through. Not that I should complain. At least she bothered to give me a mate who’s smart, noble, selfless…”

“You’re overreacting, Xandar. There isn’t anyone else who looks at me or wants me that way. There never has been. And if there were, it would only be because they’re interested in whoever the King is interested in. It’s not because they’re interested in me per se.”

Xandar sighed. “That’s where you’re wrong again, Lucianne. Just by looking at the way they look at you and hear them talk about you or to you…I just know they had intentions to be intimate with you even before we met. And those intentions are still very much alive. Not just the mateless Gammas but also the Alphas, I might add.”(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)
