The 5-Time Rejected Gamma And The Lycan King Chapter 75

Xandar squeezed the flesh on her waist, and Lucianne tried her best to swallow the giggle but Xandar and his animal were happy enough to see her shy smile widened and her red-tinged cheeks after he did that.

Christian came over and patted his cousin on his back, “Cuz…” he turned around to let out another stream of chuckles before he continued, “Oh, Goddess! That was precious! I should’ve made a recording.”

The Duke really didn’t make it easy for the rest of the audience to hold back their laughter. Like Toby, many didn’t feel comfortable laughing at their King who just lost to their Queen, at least not yet.

“You should go next, Christian.” Xandar suggested.

Christian’s humour died down, “Hah. Nah-ah. No way. I’m not that stupid. My most heartfelt congratulations to you, my Queen. But no, not today. Maybe not even in this lifetime.” A few people around them started laughing subtly at the Duke’s refusal to go up against the Queen.

“Your Highness,” Langford’s voice came from behind. Lucianne turned to see the General stand before her. He swallowed a lump in his throat before gritting his teeth and saying, “Forgive me…and sh-should you have any suggestions on how we can improve, I—I hope you can share it with us.”

Lucianne’s lips curled upward and her eyes sparkled as she glanced at the confused Toby before she looked back at Langford and said, “Since you mentioned it, General. We do have a suggestion.” She waved Toby over.

He came in slow, bewildered steps. Lucianne then said, “Since the rogue Lycans attacked the Jewel Pack, many of us wolves have an idea of how we should alter our training to adapt to future threats. Toby, tell the General about our discussion with Raden and the others from last night.”

Toby’s mind clicked and he exclaimed, “Ah, that!” Now he knew exactly what she was talking about. He and a few other warriors, including Lucianne herself, talked about the issue. Lucianne was supposed to ask Xandar about it the night before but it slipped her mind after what happened with Caunterberg.

Langford looked at Toby with less hostility than he did before. Toby then began, “We were hoping to have spars between species for training.” There were shocked gasps from some of the Lycans around them. But half of them were contemplative, and Weaver and Yarrington looked at each other in excitement at the idea.

Toby continued to explain, “Since we’re now dealing with rogue Lycans, many of us would like to train with an actual Lycan, especially in wolf form with a Lycan form. And in return, our wolves can help your Lycans gain speed in human form. Lucy and I have seen a lot of well-built Lycans here, and we say this with no disrespect, but most of you are too slow for battle. At least in human form. And as wolves, we are still no match for a Lycan’s build and strength once we shift so we want to practice with your animals to find a few new techniques to defend ourselves.”

Langford was pondering seriously, and Xandar’s thumb was stroking Lucianne’s waist in slow motions as he digested Toby’s words. Toby then added, “And just to be clear, General and my King, we won’t force every Lycan to pair with a wolf,” he then looked at Lucianne and she gave him an encouraging nod to go on. So he continued, “We will only train with Lycans who will be willing to learn and train with us. We’re not asking for a mandatory inter-species training session.”

Langford looked at the Lycans around them, then he told Xandar, “I have no issue with that, your Highness. If there’s room for improvement, then our species should be open to it.”

Xandar then added, “Perhaps it’s best for there to be mandatory inter-species training sessions. The rogues are a threat to all of us. Two of the wolves’ best warriors have already been generous enough to give us their opinions on how we fare. It’s foolish to refuse their offer to help.”

Weaver spoke up enthusiastically, “I’m all for it! But with much respect and admiration for you, my Queen, I do not want to pair with you. I’ll take anyone else. Just not you.” His mate and the others, including Xandar, laughed at the environment minister. Christian’s laughter was the loudest, as usual.

Xandar looked at his beautiful mate and said in a husky voice, “Well, Lucy. It’s time to get the wolves over here.” She looked at Toby and said, “Let’s send the message, then.” In an instant, hers and Toby’s eyes glazed over as they linked their respective Alphas.

Alphas Juan and Tate were shocked but soon after that, excited. They wasted no time linking the other Alphas and Lunas through their pack leaders group-link. And the leaders, in turn, informed their Gammas.

The wolves came over and started pairing up with the Lycans. Some Lycans followed Weaver and Yarrington, and went to where the wolves were to pair up with them. After watching Lucianne, most of the Lycans kept their guard up. Many didn’t underestimate the smaller-sized opponent in front of them seeing that even the smallest wolf was able to take down the largest and strongest Lycan, right after taking down their General and his best warrior.

Xandar paired with Toby, and Christian paired with Juan. Most Gammas stood on the sides to watch two pairs at a time. Within the first few minutes, it was clear that more Lycans were falling on their mats compared to wolves.

After Lucianne watched a few matches around her, her voice rang loud in the air, “Lycans, your strength will only be of use if you actually manage to catch your wolf counterpart. If you don’t have them in your hands yet, don’t bet on your strength to win. When an attack comes at you, grab that part of their body they are using to launch their attack, and hold on to it. Only after that should you utilise your strength. Wolves, our speed and agility are our greatest advantage. Use the techniques we’ve learned to have the Lycans use their own strength against themselves. If and when you get caught, think fast. Escape first, continue your attack later. Slip your way out in any possible way, and never underestimate the power of surprise. Everyone, take note of your opponent’s stability. Ask yourselves whether it’s a good time to trip them. See if your partner has a pattern of attack. Use it to plan your counterattack.”
