Werewolf
The 5-Time Rejected Gamma And The Lycan King Chapter 90
Greg released her neck only to slam her head harder against the wall. A crack began to form where Livia’s head made the impact. If she weren’t a Lycan, the force would have resulted in a concussion or an internal hemorrhage. But because of her strength, the impact on her skull just made her feel slightly uncomfortable.
Greg uttered his next words slowly, one syllable at a time, “Don’t. Lie. To. Me.”
His grip was tightening around Livia’s neck. She was losing air so Greg grudgingly released her neck. She fell on the floor with a loud thud at his feet. Livia coughed and took in large volumes of air to replenish her lungs. Greg squatted and lifted her chin up roughly as he repeated his question, “Why did you send them?”
Livia was still catching her breath as she furrowed her brows in annoyance, “Why is that so important to you? They weren’t even there for you. They just went for the King.”
“Hmph.” Greg scoffed at Livia’s amateur attempt to lie. He glowered at her as he said, “They weren’t really just there for my cousin, were they? You sent them there to catch her off guard and to hurt her, to hurt Lucianne.” Livia’s shocked expression confirmed Greg’s suspicions. At that moment, Livia regretted the many years she bragged to everyone about being the Kyltons’ relative.
Greg threw her head towards the floor. Without giving her time to recover, he lifted up her body and pinned her against the wall by her shoulders as he said, “Lucky for you, the Queen was neither hurt nor broken, or I wouldn’t be leaving without breaking your neck myself tonight. Consider this a warning. If you even try to hurt her again, rest assured that I’ll kill you painfully slowly. Is that understood, Livia?”
Livia’s eyes were glistening with tears of rage and jealousy. He was protecting the wolf! How could that be?! What the hell did the wolf have that she didn’t?! Livia spat in despair, “Why do you even care about her? You are nothing to her!”
Greg threw her body against the cabinet at the side before he firmly declared, “The Queen doesn’t have to reciprocate my feelings for me to act on them. You stay away from her or, I promise you, your end will not come without an insane amount of anguish.”
“You’re a fool to choose her, your Grace.” Livia spat in a whisper.
He cocked his head to one side, and watched Livia pushing herself off the floor before he said, “I’d be more worried about your own intelligence if I were you.” He left her there and walked out the door.
Livia’s angry tears were streaming down her face. ‘The wolf had to die’, she thought. But she had to be more careful this time. Greg cannot find out that she was behind whatever she was going to plan for the ugly, little thing. She and Sasha had to be more discreet with their Plan B. She only hoped that they could hatch a plan and execute it before the wolf turned into a Lycan. It was easier to kill their cousin species than it was to kill them so they had to act fast!
Xandar was awakened by Lucianne’s 4 a.m. alarm. She turned it off within seconds. And he saw her get out of bed in the darkness. His sleepy eyes watched her stretch her perfect body before she walked towards the bathroom. When she locked the door behind her, Xandar allowed himself a few more seconds before getting out of the couch he slept in. He then remembered they had a date this morning.
But after everything that happened the night before, he wasn’t sure if Lucianne still wanted to go with their plans. He turned on the lights and stretched out his own body as he waited for Lucianne to come out from the bathroom.
The moment he heard the bathroom door unlocking and saw Lucianne emerge in changed clothes, Xandar took large strides towards her, and held her in his arms as he pecked a kiss on her cheek and forehead before whispering, “Good morning, beautiful.”
She offered a shy smile, “Good morning, Xandar.”
He then asked in concern, “How are you feeling?”
She replied, “I’m okay. That phase was over after I cried it out last night. I’m back to normal now. Thank you.”
He smiled and pecked a kiss on her nose before taking a step back to take in the black tracksuit she was wearing before he asked nervously, “C-Can I join you for your run this morning?”
She looked at him in confusion, “Weren’t you already going to do that?”
He chuckled as relief washed over him before he explained, “I just thought after what happened last night, you would want to go run alone.”
She then asked quizzically, “So…you expected me to go on our date by myself?”
His eyes widened as he frantically denied, “No! I just…” He stopped his explanation when he caught the cheeky glint in her eye, and he went straight for the flesh on her waist as she giggled and he muttered, “You little rascal.”
His animal was absolutely jubilant to hear her giggles so early in the morning. It could not think of a better way to start the day, and neither could Xandar. After Xandar had cleaned himself up, they went to the ground floor and exited through the back, greeting Ethan who was standing guard before they jogged towards the forest.
