Chapter 82
When dawn broke, Xandar ran with Lucianne’s wolf back to the clearing behind the hotel before returning home to shower and change for breakfast. After getting ready, he sped to the dining hall and instantly spotted his mate’s small back as soon as he entered. It was the first time she was standing so close to the entrance that he might be able to surprise her before everyone bowed to give away his presence.
He took quick but quiet steps towards her, taking advantage of the fact that his mate was concentrating on what seemed to be a very serious conversation with the alliance members. When he stood close enough, his hand went around her waist and rested on her abdomen as she gasped at his sudden touch. He made it to her just in time before everyone started bowing his way.
After pecking a kiss on her cheek from her side, he

Lucianne shrugged, “Until we have more information, we can’t be sure either. Our best guess is that killing pack leaders is just a cover-up. It’s no secret that most rogues were rejected from their packs, by their Alphas or Lunas. So, killing them would make it seem like it was for…” “Revenge. Rather than to siphon funds.” Xandar finished, finally understanding. Christian then muttered ominously, “That’s one very-carefully thought-out system.” Xandar locked eyes with his cousin, “We’ve been kept in the dark for too long. Innocent people are dying. We have to step up and speed up this investigation.” Lucianne suddenly picked up a familiar scent. As Lucianne continued to sniff the familiar scent as subtly as s

At training, the Lycans were showing improvement. The alliance didn’t fight. They watched and gave feedback, much to the dismay of Juan, Tate and Zeke, who all preferred to spar than watch and talk.Lucianne watched and gave feedback to the Lycan warrior, Phelton, and Gamma Benedict. After losing two matches to the Gamma, Phelton finally came out victorious in their third match. Benedict shook his hand and congratulated him graciously on the win before Lucianne did the same. After thanking his opponent, Phelton knelt and kissed the Queen’s hand before standing back up to convey his thanks.After watching another three pairs, Juan came up to her and mind-linked, ‘Lucy, just one. One spar.’‘What

After training and lunch, the alliance met at Xandar’s villa. They gathered in the King’s huge study, and the cousins got spare chairs and a foldable table out of the basement. They laid the report on the round table, and Toby and Sylvia offered to take notes while they discussed, reading through the report again together to see if their thoughts matched those of everyone around them. Xandar noticed that Lucianne was checking the time every few minutes but he didn’t think much of it until her phone chimed in between their discussions. Lucianne stood from her seat as she said, “I have to go now. My ride’s here. I’ll see you guys in the dining hall tonight.” Xandar reflexively held onto her elbow and asked frantically, “What ride?” She furrowed her eyebrows in conf

Annie placed her cup back on the saucer before she explained, “I’m sure you’ve heard about my past already, especially when it comes to the other Duke.”The fact that she struggled to say Greg’s name earlier and was avoiding saying his name now didn’t go unnoticed. The fear and discomfort was very much alive and lingering in Annie even after all these years.Lucianne’s face was unperturbed as she said softly, “I have.”Annie smiled meekly before she took a deep breath and said, “When I slowly started to believe that Christian really loved me, my fear of the people he works with never really went away. The other Duke was the worst but it wasn’t just him. Some ministers and random people we’d see at govern

Lucianne was surprised that Annie couldn’t detect the scent so she asked, “Don’t you smell it? There’s something pungent, like mercury, salt, granite and something else.”Annie was even more confused, “What? Are you sure, Lucy? I only smell the gas from the exhaust of the cars around here.”Lucianne was sure she wasn’t imagining the scent. She continued sniffing as she instinctively pulled Russell closer to her legs. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a man emerged from behind one of the cars and threw a knife at a low level in Lucianne’s way. Lucianne saw him when the knife left his hand, and she reflexively pushed Russell towards Annie as the blade cut into her left leg. Lucianne screamed in agony as she fell to the ground.

The rumours about the King and Duke’s presence in the hospital spread like wildfire, and gossipers somehow managed to find out that the future Queen was being treated there. Chats were sent. Calls were made. News feeds were updated. Soon, journalists started publishing short articles about whatever little they know from their sources.When Greg saw the news on his notifications bar, his eyes widened in shock. He left his drink at the refreshments table, and left the dining hall in quick paces as he skimmed through the article, trying to find out how Lucianne was hurt. When he got nothing from the list of useless articles except for the name of the hospital where Lucianne was admitted into, he threw his phone on the passenger’s seat of his car in frustration and drove faster than he had ever driven, beating all the traffic lights along the way.

When Lucianne started breathing on her own again three hours later, the doctors removed the air mask and reported the improvements. Her vitals are nearing normal, and she would most likely wake up in the morning. Everyone was relieved. Toby slumped to the ground and looked at the ceiling as he uttered in immense gratitude, “Thank you, Moon Goddess.”Tate and Lovelace managed a relieved smile despite their still-glistening eyes. Juan’s pale face started to regain its color as he linked Hale. Christian and Annie felt like a huge weight was taken off their shoulders, and Annie started explaining to Russell that Lucianne was going to be alright. Raden and Sylvia relaxed visibly, their bodies slumped against the wall from their tensed slouching positions.By far, the most relieved, but the most guilty, was Xandar. The co

At around 3 a.m., Helena Tanner’s phone screen lit up. Being careful to not wake her mate, she shifted slowly to reach her phone on her night stand. Her eyes squinted in the dark as she read the message from a number she was careful not to add into her contact list but knew by heart. She threw her covers and stood, which was when her mate asked groggily, “Where are you going? What happened?”She tried to mask her worry and responded in a flat tone, “Just work. I have to check on something.”“Now?” Her mate asked in disbelief as he checked the illuminated figures on his alarm clock next to him.Helena forced a smile and kissed her mate on his cheek before explaining, “It’s urgent. I’ll come back as soon as it’s
