The 5-Time Rejected Gamma And The Lycan King Chapter 73

Weaver panicked, “What?! My Queen, you can’t just leave us.”

Yarrington squeezed his shoulder as he uttered, “Have a little faith in her, dear.”

“Well?” Lucianne asked Langford. The General smirked as he mind-linked his warrior behind him, and the warrior too smirked in response. They took their positions on the mat Weaver and Yarrington were using. Lucianne was at one end, and the General and his warrior was at the other end. Many around them, mostly Lycans, had started taking their so-called breaks to watch.

Lucianne studied their build and waited for them to start. The warrior charged at her first. Throwing a punch with his entire arm. Lucianne dodged sideways and grabbed his arm before twisting it emotionlessly. She kicked his kneecaps to make him kneel. When his second punch came, she flipped her body over his neck and the punch went into the air. Her weight on his neck was too much, and the warrior fell on the ground with a loud thud. That was when Langford came from behind, as Lucianne expected. He attempted to pounce on her but she rolled away right before he did. So he ended up putting his weight on the warrior. Since Langford was heavier, the warrior howled in agony when the General’s weight fell on him.

Lucianne didn’t even give the General a chance to recover from his shock before she threw a punch at his throat and broke his nose with no remorse. Lycans heal quickly so that damage wasn’t worrying.

One of Lucianne’s hands reached for the back of his head and the other reached for his shoulder before she turned his head forcefully to the left. If Lucianne turned his neck a few inches more, his neck would have snapped, and the General would have been dead.

Lucianne cocked her head to one side to meet Langford’s shocked and somewhat fearful eyes. She then pushed his body harshly to the back and turned the warrior’s body over so that the latter could breathe.

Seemingly out of nowhere, Xandar appeared on the sidelines, where Toby and many of the Lycans had gathered to watch. He was looking at Lucianne with so much love and pride. By his side, Christian was already chuckling mercilessly at the men she defeated seconds ago.

Toby smirked as he fist-bumped Lucianne. “That was awesome, Lucy.”

“Thanks, Toby.”

Xandar walked over to her when Langford and his warrior were getting up. Lucianne asked the latter, “What’s your name, warrior?”

“Ph-Phelton, my Queen.” He bowed.

Xandar reached her side when Lucianne bowed in return and offered a genuine smile as she thrusted out her hand, “Pleasure to meet you, Phelton. Hope to see you beat me next time.”

He looked at her in confusion. But Lucianne continued to smile as she said, “I mean it, Phelton. You have the built and the strength. You only need to work on your speed and agility. Those skills can be taught. You’ll improve in no time.”

His eyes began glistening. He took Lucianne’s hand and shook it once before pecking a formal kiss on it and falling on one knee as he said, “Forgive me, my Queen. I have offended you.”

Lucianne said firmly, “Stand, Phelton.” He stood, guilty as ever. She smiled graciously and said sincerely, “I hold no grudge against you. But I do hope that you will forgive yourself. This was just a mistake. Don’t repeat it and you’ll be fine.”

“Yes, my Queen. Thank you for your graciousness. I won’t let you down.” He pledged. Lucianne nodded with a gentle smile.

Then, she moved around him to come face-to-face with General Langford. He stood still but his face emitted embarrassment. A General, a supposed best Lycan warrior after the King himself was beaten by a five-foot-one werewolf in such a short time. And it happened in front of so many people. That really did not look good.

Xandar was right behind Lucianne as she called out, “General Langford.”

He looked up at her gaze hesitantly. But his mouth was sealed shut. Lucianne waited but nothing came out. Lucianne then said, “General, do you really have nothing to say?”

He opened his mouth and his teeth gritted as he said his next words in utmost difficulty, “I will not interfere with who you train, your Highness.”

“Thank you.” Lucianne said simply and was about to leave but Xandar stopped her tracks by holding her waist in place. The King glared at Langford before he asked, “Isn’t there something else you would like to tell the Queen, General?”

Lucianne knew that Xandar was forcing the old man to ask for her forgiveness but she couldn’t care less about whether Langford apologized so she turned herself around to face her mate and said, “Darling, I don’t need an apology. I got what I wanted. Let’s just get back to training now, okay?”

He looked her in the eye and firmly said, “No. No one can disrespect you and expect to get away with it.” He turned her body back to face Langford in one swift movement but the old man remained reluctant to speak.

Lucianne then groaned, “Xandar, I don’t want a fake apology. Just let me go. We have to train! We’re wasting time!” She tried to wriggle her way out but Xandar’s grip at her waist was too strong. ‘Stupid Lycan strength’, she thought to herself.

Xandar’s tone was shuddering when he spoke to Langford, “Stop wasting our Queen’s time, Langford. You should be grateful that she and her comrade wanted to train the Lycans. After what she just did to you, you would be a fool to not beg her to train our army. It’s a good thing none of the packs applied for our warriors. Their chances of survival would’ve been too low. The wolves themselves may even have to carry our weight.”

Toby was pressing back a smile at Xandar’s compliment. On the inside, he couldn’t wait to run back to tell all the werewolves he knew about what the King just said.

Christian then patted Toby on his shoulder and uttered, “It’s okay, Gamma Tobias. You can laugh. I do it all the time.”
