The 5-Time Rejected Gamma And The Lycan King Chapter 38

Xandar finally found his phone in the living room. When he saw the number of missed calls from an unknown number and one from Lucianne along with a message, he linked, ‘F*CK! I’ll meet you there!’

‘Should I link Cummings and Whitlaw, cuz?’

‘Yes, ask them to get there as soon as they can. Where are you now?’

‘I’ve just sprinted out of the house. Getting into the car to get to the jet. Will probably beat you to the pack by a few minutes.’

‘Take care of her for me until I get there.’ Xandar demanded as he got into his car.

‘You know I will. This is probably not the best time but I still want to rub it in your face so I’m just going to ask: our Queen already tried to call you, didn’t she?’

‘Yes, alright?! But that doesn’t make me any less mad! How could she just leave me here like that?!’

‘You better not say those things to her when you get there, cuz. You very well know why she went.’ Christian said and ended the mind-link.

Yeah, Xandar knew why she went. She was a Gamma. To top it off, she was the Gamma of Gammas, the best of her kind. She was so skillful that she was the only Gamma known to be able to take on an Alpha. But did she forget that he was her mate? Sure, he didn’t answer his phone but why didn’t she just come banging on his door before she left? His home wasn’t even that far from the hotel.

Thank goddess he, Christian and the other ministers had private jets. Getting a plane ticket and waiting for take-off would have wasted more time that he didn’t have. Xandar hopped on and asked the pilot to step on it, hoping to catch up with Christian. He looked out of the window and thought about Lucianne.

He and his Lycan were furious that their mate left them just like that. Yes, she had to fight but why didn’t she at least have the decency to drag him along with her?! It’s not like he wouldn’t have followed. He growled ferociously to himself as these thoughts went through his mind. The Jewel pack was two hours away and the wait was pure torture.

The wolves reached the pack at 4:56 a.m. They spoke to the Beta, who had gotten the pack to lock their doors and hide in their basements. It seems the rogues were targeting the packhouse. In other words, the Alpha. The other members who lived in the packhouse had already been evacuated.

The Beta, accompanied by the other three surviving warriors then asked, “So, what do you need us to do?”

Their eyes moved from one pack leader to another, wondering which of them was the one leading the alliance. When every pack leaders’ and Gammas’ eyes fell on Lucianne, one of the warriors behind the Beta couldn’t mask his surprise. His comrades were also taken aback that everyone was awaiting orders from the smallest wolf amongst them, and she wasn’t even a Luna.

Lucianne’s voice rang in the dark, speaking to the Beta, “Two of your warriors are to protect Alpha Frederick. I’m not allowing your Alpha to take on a rogue yet. One should stay five feet outside the emergency underground cellar and the other by his side inside the cellar. Then…”

The surprised warrior interrupted Lucianne, “But the cellar has not been maintained. It hasn’t been cleaned in months!”

“But is it safe?” Lucianne asked.

“Yes but…”

“Then there isn’t an issue. Comfort is not our concern right now. Take your Alpha there and stand at your positions now. Toby and Lovelace, follow them but hide yourselves. The two of you shouldn’t be seen.” Lucianne instructed. Alpha Frederick nodded to his warriors and the two of them accompanied him and left without further questions, with Toby and Lovelace following closely behind.

Lucianne continued, “Sylvia, Tate and Jewel pack Beta and warriors, stand around the packhouse and act like you’re guarding it. Let’s see if we can mislead the rogues and divert their attention long enough away from the cellar to kill them.” She then looked at Sylvia and Tate, “Don’t let anything happen to the Jewel pack members.” They nodded and took their positions.

Lucianne continued, “The rest of us are to hide and keep watch for now. Zeke, you take the back. Zelena, five feet to the right of the packhouse. Raden, five feet to the left. Juan, you and I take the front.” Everyone nodded and dispersed, taking their positions.

‘They’re most likely coming from the front, Lucy. We should shift.’ Juan linked.

‘Couldn’t agree more.’ She went behind a tree, stripped and shifted. Her white fur and striped tail shone beneath the moonlight. Juan already shifted into his black wolf, waiting for her. They took their positions and waited.

In less than two minutes, they heard the light thuds of paws hitting the ground, moving quickly and stealthily towards them.

‘The others are not hearing anything. Looks like the attack is only coming from the front.’ Juan linked Lucy

‘I’m only counting eight though. Didn’t the Beta mention that there were at least ten of them?’

‘Maybe the others were too injured to come back.’

‘I’m not buying it. Get Zeke and Tate here, please.’

‘On it.’

Within moments, a black wolf, about the same size as Juan’s, showed up next to them. Looking at the brown eyes and getting the scent, they knew that it was Zeke. A dark brown wolf came shortly after. It was Tate. The Alphas are known to be able to take on two, sometimes three, rogues at a time. Lucianne, after years of fighting, could do the same.
