The 5-Time Rejected Gamma And The Lycan King Chapter 39

‘The others are still not getting anything?’ Lucianne linked Juan.

‘Nothing.’

‘This is too easy to be true. We better be on our guard, even after we’ve killed all eight.’

‘I’ll warn the rest.’

Only the Alphas could link other Alphas and Lunas so pack members would have to rely on their pack leaders to get the linked messages.

The thuds on the ground slowed down as the rogues got nearer to the packhouse. Zeke and Juan bent their forelimbs, ready to pounce at any moment. The rogues came into view, all eight of them. The one with light brown in the middle standing a few feet away from Lucianne was the largest, clearly the leader of the rogues. Lucianne and the Alphas waited for them to make a move.

The rogue leader studied the white wolf in front of him and smirked. ‘A small female and a non-Luna? The pack’s resources must be running out.’ he thought cockily. With a loud howl from its leader, the rogues ran towards them in large strides as they growled. Lucianne and the Alphas ran towards them and growled with equal ferocity.

Having underestimated Lucianne’s skills, only one rogue came head-to-head with her. The best part was that this rogue was the smallest among them. She dodged his attack easily before biting its tail and throwing him with force to the ground and the rogue howled in pain at the impact. In the middle of his howling, Lucianne had already reached his neck and broken it, cutting off his voice.

Lucianne dashed to Zeke, who was taking on three at a time. Catching them off guard, Lucianne pounced on the one nearest to her despite it being the largest among the three. The rogue was thrown off balance but he got up quickly to aim at Lucianne’s neck which she dodged with ease.

Lucianne then tripped the rogue at his hindlimbs with her tail, where he was already showing instability. The rogue fell again and Lucianne broke both his knees with her weight. He howled in pain and she instantly climbed on him and broke his neck before he could even heal. The rogue leader and another rogue wolf that was surrounding Juan looked at Lucianne and their dead comrade in shock. Juan took advantage of the situation and pounced on the leader, going for his throat.

Lucianne ran towards the other one, who was retreating. ‘What a coward.’ Lucianne thought. She followed him as fast as she could and after a while, they came to a river. There was no escape. The rogue then looked at her with a smirk and howled into the sky. Not giving it much thought, she charged towards him and kicked him into the river. The rogue’s back collided with a boulder in the river and he howled in pain before being swept away by the strong current, hitting a second boulder, which killed him.

Lucianne was still panting. She must go and help the others, she thought. When she turned, something didn’t feel right. She smelled a presence that wasn’t on the battleground. Rogues, but not wolves. She linked Alpha Juan.

‘Juan, I’m by the river. Just got rid of the rogue but I smell something else. Also rogues, but not our kind. I don’t recognize the scent.’

‘How many?’ Juan asked in between pouncing.

‘Three, I think.’

‘I’m sending Raden and Tate.’

As Juan was linking Lucianne with that message, she saw three tall figures emerge from the shadows at the north side of the river. They were largely built.

‘Juan, get them to come quick. These three are rogue Lycans!’

‘Hang in there, Lucy! They’re coming!’ Juan's panicked link was evident. He himself tried to speed up his slaughter to get to Lucianne.

At the riverbank, Lucianne finally realized that this was a trap set up for her. The rogue she knocked into the river wasn’t retreating, he was leading her to the river far away from the Alphas and the other warriors. The Lycans surrounded her, linking each other as their eyes glazed over. Lucianne put a brave front but she knew the position she was in. Her chances of survival were slim. She may be able to handle one Lycan but not three at a time.

She waited for them to make a move as she prayed for Raden and Tate to come soon. One Lycan stood close to the riverbank, too close. And he was the first to charge towards Lucianne. Lucianne pounced just low enough to dodge his claws and held one of his legs with her canines as she flipped him with force at the boulder in the river.

A loud thud was heard and the Lycan was definitely dead upon the impact because its friends howled in anger, and the one in the river didn’t even have the strength to scream. Like the rogue wolf before, he was swept by the strong current before hitting the same second boulder. The remaining two Lycans were growling furiously now, not that it surprised Lucianne.

‘Hang on, Lucy! They’re coming! I’m right behind them now! Hang in there!’ Juan linked in panic.

Both Lycans pounced at her at the same time, and Lucianne swiftly rolled to the side. As soon as she was up on her feet, they pounced again and she rolled away from the river, not wanting to die the same way as the two Lycans she killed. The Lycans seemed to be getting impatient. Lucianne knew better than to run and waste her energy in doing so. Lycans were faster and stronger than werewolves. She came to learn that the only way to beat a Lycan was with a wolf's agility.
