The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 178

Xandar tried to push himself up but Lucianne made him stay down. The Queen stood, and emitted her

Authority on all the rogues charging at them.

They halted in their tracks, and confusion filled them as they stared at the blue-eyed she-wolf in disbelief.

With a commanding growl, Lucianne made them all kneel before her. Every rogue was forced to oblige

as they tried to decipher what was happening. They had already ingested the shell before battle. They

were supposed to be immune to the King’s Authority, which was the most powerful commanding power

they knew of 2

The rogues were brought out of their frantic thoughts when Lucianne’s low and cold voice ordered, “Cuff

them.”

“Yes, my Queen.” Dalloway and the rest of the policemen replied as they started cuffing every rogue.

Even when Lucianne had tumed away from the rogues, her Authority remained intact. The rogues

couldn’t move from where they were until they were cuffed and ushered out by the police and warriors.

One by one, the rogues were forced to shift back as soon as the Oleander cuffs were fastened around

their wrists.

When Lucianne tumed back to Xandar, her sapphire eyes regained their original black color, and her cold

expression turned worried when she saw her mate’s dazed eyes and weakened physique. The medical

crew came in when Phelton told them it was safe. They rushed to the injured wolves and Lycans, and

started tending to their injuries, carrying bags of blood with them should a transfusion be necessary. 1

Two doctors and three nurses rushed towards Xandar, who had already shifted back as he lay flat on the

ground, his head resting o n his mate’s lap as his hand raised to touch her cheek.

The medical crew covered the lower part of his body. Dr Lorenz saw the dark grey veins all over the

King’s body, and it was reaching his heart. He then told Lucianne, “The Oleander has been in his

bloodstream for too long. We don’t have time to bring him back for the transfusion.”

“Do it now, then!” Lucianne exclaimed.

Lorenz looked at her apologetically and said, “We don’t have enough blood here for that either, Lucy. We

could use what we have now and send word to our neighboring pack to send more blood over but it’s

hard to say whether there’d be enough time for that.”

Christian heard everything as he knelt beside his cousin with saddened, glistening eyes. As Xandar’s

thumb stroked his mate’s cheek to wipe away her stray tear, Xandar muttered, “I, Alexandar Thomas

Claw, bestow you, Lucianne Freesia P.”

“What the h*ll are you doing, Xandar?” Lucianne asked in anger.

Christian continued to stare at his cousin as he muttered, “He’s transferring the ruling power to you, my

Queen. And I’m the witness to this transfer.”

Lucianne’s eyes widened as she stared at Christian until her mate started again, “I…” Slap! The impact

Lucianne made on Xandar’s cheek made everyone around them flinch. Lucianne then spoke to her mate

in a low, stern but choppy voice, “Not today, my King. You’re NOT leaving us. You’re NOT leaving ME.”

Her hard face and teary eyes faced Lorenz as she demanded, “Use my blood. Take the poison out of his

bloodstream, and use my blood to fuel him.”

“We can’t drain you of your blood, Lucy. You’d faint in less than a minute. He’s twice your size!” Lorenz

explained in worry.

Christian then offered, “Use mine, then.”

“There’s a danger in that, your Grace. With this amount of Oleander in the King’s system, there’s a

possibility that some of the poison would sip into your body when we connect his bloodstream to yours.”

Before Christian could respond, Lucianne said, “I can heal from Oleander the same way I heal from

silver. Use my blood for the. transfusion. Transfer his blood to me so that I won’t faint too soon, and give

him my blood for him to heal.”

The doctors and nurses were dumbfounded and worried as Lorenz uttered, “Lucy, we don’t know if your

body can heal itself fast enough to overcome this concentration of poison. You and your wolf might lose

some form of functionality, and.”

“I DON’T CARE! JUST DO IT!” Lucianne yelled, restraining herself from using her Authority on her

friends who treated her allies several times before as they frantically inserted the tubes: one into her, and

one into Xandar, who was already unconscious.

“Lucy,” Christian called out in a worried whisper, his tears threatening to spill.

Lucianne looked at him through her line of vision blurred by her own tears as she forced an assuring

smile and whispered, “It’s going to be alright, Christian. We’ll both make it. It’s going to be alright.”

Juan and Tate joined them as soon as the silver was out of their systems. Both Alphas looked exhausted

and weak, and what they

saw afterwards with a tube between the back of Lucianne’s hand and Xandar’s arm made them even

weaker.

Juan called out to his sister, and she could only give him and Tate an assuring smile, praying that she

didn’t just lie to Christian. She was certain the healing effects of her blood would save Xandar but she

didn’t know if, by the time there was enough blood to save him, there’d be any healed blood left to

sustain herself. She didn’t care. She just needed her mate to be alive.

Lucianne felt the familiar sting of Oleander as it entered her bloodstream, and took steady breaths as

she held back showing any painful expressions to avoid startling everyone around her. Tate hissed at

Lorenz, asking how much more of Lucianne’s blood was needed. Lorenz’s forehead already had beads

of sweat when he admitted that he didn’t know.

As Lucianne’s small thumb stroked Xandar’s thick locks, she sniffled and planted a deep kiss on his

forehead before whispering,” Please be okay. Please.”

Lucianne knew that she was getting weaker when she felt Xandar’s head in her lap getting heavier. Her

body was starting to give i n when she had trouble sitting upright. Juan came over to hold her up as he

bit his lip and fought back tears. Soon, Juan had to support her whole upper-body weight.

Lucianne’s vision was blurring out but she stubbornly fought to stay conscious because she knew that

one of them would ask Lorenz to stop the transfusion if she passed out. So, she held on with all her

might. When everyone saw the grey veins on Xandar’s body fading, and eventually returned to his

original green color, they were still not relieved because that only meant the poison was now in

Lucianne’s system, and the grey lines on her arms and legs were getting more visible by the second.

When the last of the grey lines vanished and cleared from Xandar’s body, Lorenz checked Xandar’s

heart rate, which he said was picking up, and his breathing was nearing normal. Lorenz removed the

tube from Xandar’s arm and Lucianne’s hand. He then started measuring the Oleander in Lucianne’s

system with his indicator, hoping it wasn’t as high as he predicted since she said she could heal from it.

Lucianne heard everything that was being said but she couldn’t respond. All she wanted to do was sleep.

As her thumb brushed her mate’s hair lightly, she listened to his steady breathing. At the very moment

the pair of lilac eyes below her opened, Lucianne gave into her exhaustion and collapsed into her

brother’s arms. 1 “LUCY!”
