Jake raised an eyebrow, and his animal was turned on by what the hottest she-wolf just said to them.
Seeing that there were no booby traps or Oleander arrows ready to be fired, Xandar, Christian, the alliance, Phelton, Dalloway, Langford and two more Lycan warriors came through. Jake glanced over each of them before his sights returned to Lucianne as he said, “Miss you? Yes. Them? Not so much.”
“Because they killed your friends back in our little rendezvous in Forest Gloom? How many people did you lose that day again? Fifty?” Lucianne taunted, and was satisfied to see some of those behind Jake were exchanging fearful looks.
Jake knew it, too. “Trying to scare my people, Lucy?”
Luc
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 Lycan
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!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
Xandar’s body shot up when Juan, Tate and Christian screamed his mate’s name. His eyes searched for her and found her right behind him, in Juan’s embrace.“NO, BABY!” Xandar went to the Alpha, and carefully took Lucianne from him. Xandar held her close to his chest. Why was her body so cold? And why was she turning grey? Christian explained what happened in a cracked voice. Lorenz reported that there weren’t any visible improvements on Lucianne’s condition yet, and the grey veins on her arms and legs were creeping up her neck, reaching her face.They dashed back to the submarines, hoping to get back to the pack clinic on time to carry out a blood transfusion for Lucianne. Since the poison had not been in her bloodstream for as long as it was in Xandar’s, there may be time. Lorenz had al
Lucianne’s head cocked to one side as she waited, so Xandar continued, “That you mark me right after.” Lucianne chuckled and nodded before pulling him into another kiss. His body developed a mind of its own when it climbed onto the bed and hovered over her. Xandar’s lips left hers only to move to her neck, where he started licking and sucking on it as Lucianne released a stream of cute moans before the sexy ones came out. His nose traced her jawline as his canines extended, and he whispered, “Deep breath, baby.” Lucianne complied, and with his animal’s instinct, Xandar’s canines plunged into her neck. Lucianne yelped from the pain, which lasted for a brief second before it was replaced with pleasure. There was also something else. She felt an intense stream of emotions
Lucianne immediately got up and inspected her torn bra and underwear as she said, “Remind me to undress before we let them do that again next time.” Both their animals were chuckling at her remark, and Xandar pecked a kiss on her bare waist as he commented, “He was a little brutal to her, don’t you think?” Xandar ignored his animal’s protest, and waited for his mate to answer, to which she said, “Hm. She seems to like it rough.” His animal gloated and bragged, which made Xandar mutter, “And he seems to be happy to hear that.” His hands snuck around her waistline and he said, “Since we’re both already naked, how about we give it a go?” Lucianne’s eyes left her torn-up bra and met her mate’s flirtatious gaze.
The Duke’s animal was still covering its ears from the deafening scream. Implanting a device in Kelissa’s room was tricky but the idiotic heiress actually believed that Greg knocked on her door the other night just to ask for the Wi-Fi password. By leveraging the heiress’s need to flaunt in just about everything, Greg complimented her room when he was at her door, and he instantly received the invitation to enter to have a look around before he stealthily stuck the device behind her nightstand. He read about the infiltration, and was actually impressed that his cousin managed to keep Lucianne safe for once. With the rogue corporation now gone, Greg could safely send out his long-awaited, final order to Alivia and Ivory since the Kyltons won’t be able to send any rogues to slaughter the inhabitants of Blue Crescent anymore.
Greg only woke up when another knock on his door came. If that was Livia again, he didn’t know if he could restrain his animal from scratching her face and tearing out her organs. As he thought about the endgame drawing near, he walked to the door and opened it.To his relief, it was only the heiress, who invited him to have tea. Greg played dumb and asked, “What did I do? I left the toilet seat up this time.”Kelissa rolled her eyes and said, “It’s just a grateful gesture for your years of supporting our business, your Grace.” Liar. But not a bad one, actually.“Fine.” Greg groaned. So much for wanting to stay in his room until Lucianne came and break him out of this sh*thole. He still found it hilarious that the Kyltons gave
Kelissa, Lady Kylton, Sasha and Livia screamed as everyone got up and backed away from the door. In walk Lucianne with black and onyx orbs in a white, knee-length dress. How did she find them? And where were their guards?!Policemen stormed in and pointed guns at the people in the room, making the Kyltons and the others raise their hands above their heads as they trembled in fear and shock. They were still stunned when they were being cuffed. Only Greg was spared.Lucianne scanned their faces, and locked eyes with Greg, who raised his hands with the others as well, and without a word or smile, she gave him a firm nod, prompting him to come forward.He obliged, lowering his hands and approaching her, utterly relieved that she got here sooner than he expected. Then
