The 5-Time Rejected Gamma And The Lycan King Chapter 66

After giving his plan some thought, Xandar glanced at Lucianne as he drove and said, “Hey, baby?”

“Hm?”

“Can I take you out? Like on an actual date? I feel like I don’t really know you yet.”

Lucianne was in a mood to be cheeky again, “I’m not sure if that’s a good idea, my King. You may not like me if you get too close. I’m too blunt. I may say something that you won’t like. Plus, you’ve seen my acting. How would you know that I’m not just going after whoever sits on the throne?”

Xandar scoffed. Then, he took one hand off the steering wheel and reached for her hand before lacing his fingers with hers. “My darling, you wanted to get rid of me the first moment we met despite knowing that I am King. I highly doubt you care about the throne.”

“Shoot! You’re no fun.” She complained in a teasing manner.

He smiled wider and then continued, “And if you think that being blunt is going to drive me away, you would be very wrong. If you haven’t noticed, your words do two things to me: make me look at you like you’re the Goddess herself, or get me aroused.”

She bit her lip before she said softly, “There’s a third thing, too. I hurt you with my words. I hurt you that first night and also in the Jewel Pack with what I said.” She then sighed, “I may have gone a little overboard with what I said at the Jewel Pack and that first night was…uncalled for. I’m sorry.”

Xandar kept stroking her hand as he said, “That first night. You had a reason. I don’t blame you. I didn’t understand it at that time but after you told me about your past, I understood why you said the things you did. And uh…the Jewel Pack.”

He sighed before saying, “It really was my fault. I didn’t realize until after I’d finished…yelling at you that I actually really wanted to yell at myself. I made a promise to our Goddess the night before that I would protect you and make you happy. When I saw you there, wounded, drained and exhausted after the battle, I just…I felt like I had let you down.”

Lucianne insisted firmly, “You didn’t, Xandar! Why would you even think that? It was all the rogues doing. You saved me. If you and Christian didn’t come, everyone in that space that day wouldn’t have survived. I thought you knew this. You said so yourself in your speech.”

His voice exuded regret, “I know but…” he sighed, “I can’t help but feel that I should have done more, that I should’ve just…been better.” Lucianne didn’t know he was still blaming himself for what happened the other day. But she understood where he was coming from. When she had to watch her friends die on the battlefield, she felt helpless. She would mourn their deaths and wonder why she couldn’t be there for them, why she couldn’t…be better.

None of them spoke for a moment, then Lucianne lifted his hand up to her lips before pecking a kiss at the back of Xandar’s hand like he always did for her. Xandar thanked Goddess that he had just parked the car outside the dining hall when she did that. His shock at her initiative would have taken all his attention away from the road. Then again, knowing his mate, she would’ve taken their situation into account before she decided to kiss his hand.

His shocked lilac eyes locked with her affectionate black ones as she said clearly and firmly, “You’re more than what you think of yourself, Alexandar, believe me.” Xandar felt his eyes glistening and his heart melting. Her voice was so beautiful, so sincere. Her words reached the deepest parts of his heart, giving birth to a sense of warmth that he thought he wouldn’t experience again after the passing of his mother and aunt.

“You’re more, really.” She repeated sincerely, firmly and convincingly.

He kissed her deeply with all the love he could channel from his lips to hers, and whispered, “Thank you, baby.” Xandar then buried his face in her neck and took in her scent. For once, she didn’t stop him. Her scent soothed the anxiety he had. After a while, Lucianne whispered softly, “Xandar, we should go in now.”

“Mmm…okay.” He took in another deep breath from her neck and kissed it deeply, making Lucianne let out an audible moan, which in turn got Xandar aroused. ‘That is the sexiest thing I have ever heard,’ he thought to himself. Apart from his own arousal, he caught another scent.

The new scent was mixed with Lucianne’s normal scent of jasmine and butterfly pea. Xandar had a guess but he had to do something to confirm his suspicions. Without warning, he pressed his lips against hers and licked them in lust to seek access to her mouth. When Lucianne let out a second moan, the new scent got stronger, confirming Xandar’s suspicions that it was the scent of her arousal. His self-control was vanishing with her moans and the new scent. His tongue plunged into the depths of her mouth as he savored her taste. His animal was ecstatic that they finally got their mate aroused.

Lucianne pushed his shoulders away gently and said with dazed eyes, “W-We should g-go in…w-while we’re still in control.”

“Mmm…losing control isn’t all bad, baby.” He started kissing her jaw as the smell of his arousal continued to fill the space in the car.

With both her hands, Lucianne held on the sides of his head to push it away from her face, “Xandar, please.”

“Say yes.” He said in a husky voice as he took her hand from the side of his face to press it over his lips, kissing her small palm.

Still trying to come out of a daze, Lucianne stuttered, “T-To what?”

“A date, Lucy.”

After averting gaze and blinking her eyes a few times to bring herself out of the daze, she scoffed and her lips curled into a smile before she said, “I was already going to say yes when you first asked anyway.”

Lucianne let go of his face and opened the door to get out, leaving Xandar in the car smiling like he had just won the lottery, and maybe he did. Her arousal AND her saying yes to a date, that was two lotteries in one day.
