The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King
Chapter 150

Chapter 150

Xandar and Lucianne reached Xandar's villa fifteen minutes before the others were bound to arrive to get Xandar's home office ready for the meeting. They pulled out a whiteboard on a roller stand from the small supply room in the office.

After locking the rollers when the board was right in front of the round table where they were going to sit for the meeting, Lucianne uncapped a black marker before starting to scribble points to note on the rogue situation. Xandar didn't even look at the board. His eyes twinkled with love and admiration for his remarkable mate as he leaned against the meeting table.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CUZ!" Christian exclaimed as the Duke barged in with an excited smile with his Duchess.

After exchanging hugs, Christian took out a long black box with gold engravings and said, “I brought something to celebrate with once we're done with working on your birthday.”

“Is that wine?” Toby asked as he strode in with the rest of the alliance members.

Christian responded with pride, “Sure is. It's from one of the most established winemakers in the Kingdom, and this is actually their oldest bottle. I thought it'll make the perfect birthday gift.”

Toby smirked cheekily and glanced at Lucianne before he said, “As impressive as that sounds, your Grace. I'm afraid the King already got the best birthday gift this moming, early this morning.” 4

Everyone's eyes converged on the Gamma in confusion. Xandar was shocked but he soon had to look away with an apologetic smile as he caressed his mate's shoulders lovingly. Lucianne froze, and was tuming red

Toby was still smirking when his voice cut through the silence, “A friendly reminder, Lucy, my room is right next to yours.”

The rest of them were starting to understand what he meant, and Lucianne’s hands covered her face as she muttered, “Oh, Goddess.” Toby wasn't finished. “Yeah, our Goddess was probably the one who caused it with the mate-bond and all that, so I guess it's right to call on her now.”

Lucianne’s hands fell from her very flustered face as she said in a soft, pleading voice, “Let's just leave that there...and move on to why we're all here today.”

The alliance was already chuckling and smirking teasingly at the King and Queen. Toby then continued,” For future reference, Lucy. Anytime of the day is fine so long as it's already daylight. Four in the morning i s a little insane.” 1

"FOUR?!" Christian exclaimed in shock as his widened eyes fixed on his cousin, who had already begun blushing as he rested his head on Lucianne’s shoulder to take in her scent from her neck while his arms wrapped around her abdomen.

Lucianne braved through the giggles from her friends and the ticklish sensation when her beast took in her scent as she said, “Point taken, Toby. Thank you.”

“Oh, I wasn't done. There's also...” 1

Before he could finish, Lucianne threw the marker in her hand at her best friend, and he narrowly dodged i

tas he started laughing with the others. He picked up the marker from the floor, and took a seat at the table before rolling the marker across the table in her direction as he said seriously. “I'm happy for you, Lucy, really

Toby waited for Lucianne to let out a sigh of relief before he started teasing her again, “But the King must've been happier this morning since his moans were much lou- oh sh*t.” When Toby saw Lucianne reaching for the duster, his arms instinctively raised to shield his head. But when the duster didn’t come flying at his face, he peered up in confusion.

Xandar had taken it away from Lucianne’s hand right before she could throw it at Toby. The King then spun his Queen around by her arms to face him as he said in a hushed voice, “No. Bad freesia.” After pecking a sweet kiss on Lucianne’s nose, her embarrassment reduced as she pouted.

Toby lowered his arms, and he stretched out his body in his seat. He then rested his hands on the back of his head like he was relaxing on a beach before he said, “Ahh...Feels nice to be protected by the King.” Before anyone could react, Lucianne snatched the duster from Xandar's hand, and she threw it at the unaware Toby. It landed on his left cheek to create a stain before bouncing onto the table, and Toby groaned while the people around him laughed uncontrollably as they slammed the table at the scene they just witnessed. No dirt or dust got into his eyes since they were closed when the duster hit him. He stood from his seat and was met with Lucianne’s arrogant smirk. 1

With a disappointed look, Toby looked at Xandar and said, “My King, you've let us down. For a minute there I was starting to believe that you could control that five-feet dynamite of yours.”

Christian was already chuckling, and whatever Toby said just made the Duke laugh even louder as he held onto a chair for support. Xandar pecked a kiss on Lucianne’s cheek before he said, “I'm afraid control between us is rather one-sided, Gamma Tobias.”

Toby narrowed his eyes and shook his head to mock a look of disapproval before he muttered, “What a disappointment.” This sent another round of laughter in the room. The Gamma then added, “And it's just Toby’ from now on.” He gave the King a warm smile as he left the room to wash his face.

Juan and Xandar locked eyes, and the Alpha smiled as he gave the King an affirming nod. Christian patted his cousin on the shoulder like he was congratulating him before the Duke took his seat. The King smiled in bliss at the beautiful creature that he was still holding in his arms. He then pecked a kiss on her hair before letting her break free from his grip to continue scribbling on the board.

When Toby returned, Lucianne had just finished scribbling. After her best friend was seated, they started with the first thing on the agenda: who is the leader of the rogue corporation?

Juan got the ball rolling, “Jake is definitely a candidate.”

“So is Greg.” Christian continued before adding, “Maybe even Sebastian Cummings.”

“No, he isn't” Xandar and Lucianne said at the same time, and Lucianne blushed at the synchronicity of their response while Xandar reached for her hand on the table.

Toby resisted the urge to tease them again as Xandar explained how Sebastian couldn't have been involved in any manner.

Raden then said, “This may be a long shot but did any of you recognise any Lycans in Forest Gloom the other day?”

“Sadly, no, Gamma Raden.” Xandar uttered

Lucianne stared at the table as she replayed the events from that fight before she said, “From how things played out, they seem to have been acting on Jake's command.”

Tate then spoke with furrowed eyebrows, “The thing that bothers me is what they could've possibly done t o shield themselves from the King's Authority.”

Toby then looked at his friend and her mate as he asked in concern, “Yeah, Alpha Clement mentioned that, too. What happened, exactly?” “Cuz, what are they talking about?” Christian asked with obvious worry, an expression that Annie matched.
