The 5-Time Rejected Gamma And The Lycan King Chapter 93

For the first time, Lucianne didn’t dash back to the hotel when dawn broke. She sat in her mate’s arms and his paws gently stroked her back as he held her close to his chest. After a long moment of quietly enjoying each other’s company, Lucianne linked, ‘Xandar, can you tell me more about your family? Who you’re close to, who you love, that kind of thing? I mean, I already know about Christian and Annie but I’d like to know more.’

Xandar chuckled, ‘I’m close to you. And I love you.’

Lucianne argued in an irritated tone, ‘Xandar, I’m serious.’

He responded firmly, ‘So am I, Lucy.’ Lucianne groaned, and was about to leave his arms before he strengthened his grip around her body, ‘Aw, sweetheart, don’t get mad. It’s not like I wasn’t going to tell you. But since we don’t have any training today, how about I tell you over breakfast at a nice café?’

Lucianne looked into his lilac eyes gleaming with anticipation. She smirked, ‘Well played, my King. Well-played.’

He held her closer to his chest and pouted, ‘Oh, come on, baby. Just say yes.’

‘Why do I get the feeling that this date is going to stretch over lunch and dinner as well?’

He gleefully admitted, ‘Maybe it’s because I was hoping you’d say yes to those, too.’

She shook her head slightly with a smile, ‘Like I said, Xandar. That was well-played.’ She managed to wriggle out from his grip and leaped out from his arms. But he caught hold of her body again and lifted her off the ground with ease. He looked deep into her eyes as he linked excitedly, ‘Is that a yes?’

‘Put me down, Xandar.’

‘Not until you say yes.’

Lucianne rolled her eyes and she said, ‘I was already going to say yes when you first asked anyway.’

Xandar walked Lucianne to her room before he drove home for a shower and a change of clothes. He picked out a maroon shirt and black jeans before putting on a leather jacket. After double-checking his appearance in the mirror in the living room, Xandar drove back to pick Lucianne up. She emerged from the entrance of the hotel in a bright red blouse and a black knee-length skirt and moderately-high black heels. Wedges, to be precise. Her hair fell over her shoulders and on her back. Coincidentally, a gentle morning breeze graced their surroundings, causing Lucianne’s hair to be blown ever so slightly to highlight her gorgeous face and luscious curls.

Xandar had never been struck by anything more flawless. He got out of the car to greet her, pecking a kiss on her lips as he whispered with a grin, “You’re so beautiful.”

She smirked as the blushes reddened her cheeks, “You look good, too. It’s the first time I’m seeing you in casual wear.”

“Mm…disappointed?” He asked coyly as he took her hands in his.

“No. Just envious.” Lucianne replied. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion so she explained, “I didn’t think I would be going out for anything but the collaboration, so I didn’t pack anything suitable for a date. This…” she gestured at the outfit she had on before declaring, “…is actually one of the clothings I packed for the collaboration. It’s too formal for a date.”

He snorted and kissed her on her forehead before he said, “I think you look perfect.”

“Of course you do.” Lucianne muttered under her breath before saying, “C’mon, let’s go.” He kissed her hand before they got into the car.

The café was a fifteen-minute from the hotel. When they arrived and entered, the chatter of the place died down and all eyes were fixed on Xandar, who had a hand around Lucianne’s small waist. As they stood, bowed and uttered ‘My King’, they studied Lucianne from the corner of their eye with great interest. Most of them already had glazed-over eyes, mind-linking their coffee companion about what they were seeing.

Who was this woman?

Xandar and Lucianne bowed in return. The King explained the new formality and credited Lucianne for the idea, introducing her as the Queen. There were surprised gasps, oohs and ahhs as everyone bowed a second time and addressed her as that. Lucianne, too, offered a second bow and smiled graciously at everyone before the waiter showed them both to their seats in a corner. They sat facing each other at the small, round table, and the customers who were seated slightly closer to the King and Queen squealed softly in excitement before quieting themselves, hoping that their Lycan hearing could pick up a thing or two from the royal love-birds’ conversation.

After the waiter took their orders, Xandar’s large hands reached across the table to take Lucianne’s small ones before she could place them on her lap. He looked at her with overflowing love and affection, so much so that Lucianne’s cheeks were starting to feel warm just by meeting his alluring gaze.

She then cleared her throat before averting her eyes and saying in a small voice, “Xandar, you really don’t have to look at me like that for too long.”

He chuckled and then lifted her hands up to kiss her fingers, “You’re so cute when you’re shy.” That made Lucianne even more flustered.

Lucianne wanted to retract her hands to cover her even warmer face but Xandar’s grip tightened as he enjoyed the sight of his stunning mate blushing before him. Even his animal was looking at her in pure bliss. Xandar was filled with so much happiness when he saw her trying but failing to suppress an upward curl of her soft, delicate pink lips.
