The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King
Chapter 177

Chapter 177

Lucianne was about to dash in before Tate restrained her with his arms circled tightly around her abdomen, pulling her back. Juan stood in front of her to block her view, telling her some nonsense about Xandar being okay to hold up on his own until help arrived

Lucianne knew better. If the blade could make a Lycan groan, it had to have Oleander on it. She had to get to him! Maybe by spurting some of her blood over his wound, she could stop the Oleander from causing any further damage to his body.

Without warning, she elbowed Tate in his abdomen and broke his nose before kicking her brother at his testicles and punching his jaw, pushing him aside as she dashed into the room without heed to the dangers that awaited her inside.

As soon as Lucianne took five steps in, two Lycans dragged her and threw her against the wall, immediately injecting her with a serum that suppressed her wolf from surfacing. More Lycan warriors and policemen arrived then, and Lucianne could hear Juan and Tate yelling something about what took them so long. When Xandar saw his mate in the room with them, the pain he felt in his arm was long forgotten as he focused on getting to her.

Unfortunately for Xandar and the other Lycans on his side, the rogues made sure their opponents could get nowhere near Lucianne as the two who threw her then lifted her up and pinned her wrists and ankles against the wall with their brute force. Try as she might, Lucianne couldn't break free. Her body didn’t even budge.

When Lucianne gave up trying, she pondered on what they could possibly want to do with her. If it was to kill her with silver or Oleander, why didn’t they just throw a few blades like they did to Sylvia, Emilia and Xandar?

At that very moment, Jake appeared before her eyes with a hesitant expression.

“I'm really sorry about this, sweetheart.” Jake muttered.

Lucianne furrowed her eyebrows in bewilderment, and Jake instructed the two Lycans restraining her, “Hold her still.” 2

Lucianne’s wrists and ankles were pressed further into the hard concrete, and when Lucianne saw Jake extending his canines, horror filled her as she finally comprehended what was about to happen.

As soon as Xandar's Lycan witnessed the scene from afar, it emitted an infuriated growl which shook the concrete walls and frightened the faint-hearted. He pushed three rogues out of the way before five threw themselves over him, making his already weakened body slump onto the ground.

Tate and Juan shifted and entered, narrowly dodging the silver blades being thrown at them before their path was blocked by rogue Lycans. Despite their best efforts, they couldn't get through. The rogues started using Oleander blades on the warriors and policemen, and many were becoming incapacitated, falling to the ground injured

Lucianne struggled to set herself free but her efforts were put to a halt when Jake pressed her shoulders against the wall as his canines closed in on her neck. Although Lucianne was frightened, she was more furious! How dare he take her choice from her!

Her rage was as strong as the inferno of hell. Her breathing got heavier. Jake's scent got stronger and more nauseating, which continued to fuel her rage within.

Suddenly, her black orbs turned sapphire despite still being in her human form, and just when Jake was about to plunge his canines into her neck, he stopped an inch away. The rogues holding Lucianne to the wall mind-linked him, asking what he was waiting for, and why wasn't he marking her as planned.

Lucianne, who had already hacked into their link, responded in a cold voice, “Because he can't. I'm NOT his.’ 2

The moment the rogues heard her voice in their link to Jake, they exchanged shocked looks and didn't notice when Lucianne’s claws extended to impale their arms. They were forced to release her, and Lucianne landed on the ground before kicking them both aside. Jake froze, staring at her like he was looking at a ghost. Without another word, Lucianne kicked Jake in his abdomen with all the strength she got from her rage.

Xandar came charging forward when he was finally free from the rogues. After pinning Jake's neck against the concrete wall with one hand, Xandar reached for Jake's canines and pulled them out with force, making Jake howl in anguish, tears from the agony, escaped his eyes. The King then held Jake by his leg before thrashing him to the ground multiple times. 2

Xandar's hand then circled Jake's neck again, and his onyx orbs penetrated into Jake's dazed eyes before the King uttered a firm,’ MINE." The King slowly broke the former Alpha’s neck, indulging in his high-pitched whimpers before it was cut-off with an audible crack Xandar breathed heavily as his hand pressed against the wall for support. The Oleander was in his system, and it was getting to his vitals. But he knew he couldn't stop fighting. His mate was not safe yet. 1

The two rogues who restrained Lucianne charged at her while Xandar was having his fill with Jake but Lucianne brought them to a stop when they were two steps away from her. She harnessed her emotions and directed it at them, using the Queen's Authority to make them both kneel. Then, she extended her claws and tore out their throats simultaneously, making their bodies fall to the ground

When the remaining rogues noticed those three deaths, the ones who had an Oleander blade in their hands threw it at Lucianne. But before the blades reached her, Xandar darted to his mate and wrapped his arms around her before rolling them away. Three blades got into his back while the rest bounced off the concrete walls and fell to the ground with a clang.

Xandar was weakening. Lucianne pushed herself off the floor before pulling out the three knives from her mate's back as she exclaimed, “Xandar! You know you can't heal from Oleander! What were you thinking?! Never do that again!”

After the knives were out, his animal pulled her into his lap and peered into her eyes as he linked, “T'd do it again in a heartbeat.” Their conversation was interrupted by sudden growls. Dissatisfied that none of the blades got to Lucianne, the rogues left their opponents and charged at the King and Queen.
