The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Lucianne kicked backwards, aiming at his testicles and Xandar groaned in anguish. His gripo n her waist loosened and she elbowed his chest, pushing him backwards by a few steps. She turned around to face him, pain and guilt filled her eyes as she stood where she was to watch her mate’s reaction.

When Xandar regained his bearing, he looked at his mate with only humour and playfulness a s he teased out loud, “Why the anguished look, my love? I haven’t even landed any blows on you yet.”

The guilt in Lucianne’s eyes was gone. She watched him get into a position ready to spar her, and she asked, “Do you really want to do this, Xandar?”

“You’re not afraid to lose now, are you, sweetheart?” Xandar challenged, and enthusiastic murmurs soon came from the Lycans around them.

Lucianne smiled as she shook her head while she looked at the ground before lifting her head back up to say, “I honestly don’t know which one of us is going to regret this more once i tends.” She then took her position, ignoring Christian who was saying, “Goddess, I should’ve brought popcorn.” 2

Xandar seemed to have learned to wait for the opponent’s attack, something she did the first time they fought against each other. He waited for her to attack this time. She charged for him and his punch came but Lucianne knew that this was his style so she dodged it with ease, and Xandar punched the air. Lucianne slid through the gap between his legs which he left too wide open, making it a perfect escape route for small opponents like her.

Although Lucianne managed to climb on Xandar’s neck, she couldn’t pin him down since he expected her to do just that after watching her fight Phelton. He grabbed on to one of her legs and brought her entire body in front of him. She hung by her leg for only less than a second before she grabbed onto his arm like it was a pole and pulled herself back up, her foot turned and was forcing Xandar’s fingers to twist to the point that they couldn’t.

Before she could escape, Xandar pinned her body on the ground with her back down, and pressed her elbows firmly on the ground. His face hovered over hers with a cocky smirk,“ This position seems very familiar, my dear. Last I remember, you couldn’t break free from me when we were like this.”

Lucianne mirrored his smirk, and there was a glint in her eye before her knees bent and kicked in full force at his testicals, harder than the first time. Some of the Lycans cringed visibly at Lucianne’s attack but Christian was already laughing in tears and holding Toby’s shoulder for support. Xandar’s grip on Lucianne loosened, and she elbowed his body to the side before climbing onto him in an instant, her legs spread across his chest. Without allowing Xandar to recover, her hands reached for his head and neck, twisting it slightly like she did with Langford.

Xandar took a moment to digest what just happened. When Lucianne loosened her grip on him, he let out a chuckle as he took both her hands and kissed them affectionately. With nothing but pride and awe, he said, “You’re amazing.”

A shy smile graced her features and she rolled her eyes before trying to get up. But Xandar held her firmly by her thighs, pinning her to his chest. Lucianne smirked, “Want a round two already, my King?”

He scoffed, “Not until my Queen enlightens me on my mistakes from round one.”

“Let me go, and I’ll tell you.” She said simply. He smirked, “What’s wrong with the position we’re in? I kind of like it actually.” His subjects around him were already grinning and smirking at his coy response.

Lucianne’s eyes turned stern, “Behave, my King.” 1

Xandar let go of one of her thighs and took her hand before pecking a kiss on her wrist. “As you wish, my Queen.”

She got up and so did Xandar. Lucianne told him about watching the space between his legs and his failure to pin her calves when he pinned her elbows enabled her to launch her attack to escape his grip. She also mentioned that he should’ve quickly pin her to the ground when h e held her by her leg. Although she was just speaking to Xandar, the Lycans around them were all listening attentively. Weaver and Yarrington looked like they were taking mental notes.

When Lucianne was going to walk away, Xandar pulled her into his chest as he asked, “The first time I caged you in that position with your back on the ground. You weren’t really trapped, were you? You could escape but you didn’t. Why?”

She shrugged, “Because our spar already ended by that time. It wouldn’t be a fair fight if I beat you up then.” Christian started laughing again. O

Xandar ignored his cousin and asked Lucianne, “You let me think that I could trap you?”

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.”
