Chapter 22
After a long while of enjoying each other’spany in silence, Lucianne said, “I wonder if the others
have had enough rest. We haven’t eaten so we should probably attend dinner.”
Xandar then said, “Lucianne, we can always call room service. You should rest. After what you’ve been
through today, I will personally break the necks of anyone who think of questioning your absence.”
“I’m fine, Xandar, really. I can go. But I need to change first.” She then looked at him and said,” So do
you if you’re going.”
He smirked and kissed her cheek. “As if I would leave you there with all mypetitors trying to win your
heart.”
She narrowed her eyes and dered bluntly, “I am not interested in Sebastian Cummings.”
He hugged her tightly. “Oh, I know. He’s not the one I’m worried about, sweetheart. There are s o many
others who want you the way I do. I feel like the Moon Goddess is taunting me by giving me a mate who
comes with a whole army of admirers to fight through. Not that I shouldin. At least she bothered
to give me a mate who’s smart, noble, selfless…”
“You’re overreacting, Xandar. There isn’t anyone else who looks at me or wants me that way. There
never has been. And if there were, it would only be because they’re interested in whoever the King is
interested in. It’s not because they’re interested in me per se.”
Xandar sighed. “That’s where you’re wrong again, Lucianne. Just by looking at the way they look at you
and hear them talk about you or to you…I just know they had intentions to be intimate with you even
before we met. And those intentions are still very much alive. Not just the mateless Gammas but also the
Alphas, I might add.”(This novel will be daily updtaed at .noveljar)
Lucianne stared at her knees and pondered hard on what she had just heard before throwing her hands
in the air to signify that she had given up. “No. I’m not getting anything. My mind i s going nk. The only
one I’m aware of showing me a shameless amount of affection when h e looks at me is you. So, I have
no idea who you’re talking about.”
Xandar scoffed. “I’m quite relieved that you didn’t include Cummings in that list.”
Lucianne rolled her eyes. “He shows me a shameless amount of guilt and remorse. None of those
feelings are even close to affection. And, my King, do spend your time on something other than thinking
that someone else may want me. You’re really wasting your energy in that department. It’spletely
non-existent.”
Xandar then chuckled and said, “It’s funny how little you see when ites to how people are attracted
to you. I’m not sure whether to feel frustrated or happy.”
She kissed him on his chin and said, “Choose positive feelings, my dear.”
He kissed her nose in return as he uttered, “As you wish, my Queen.” She flinched slightly at being
called his Queen but she chose not to argue about it this time. Only this time. She had put him through
enough for the day with her sleeping for hours and almost severing their

bond.
With Lucianne’s constant pestering, Xandar finally gave in to leave so that he could return home for a
change of clothes before dinner. When he was three steps from her door, he turned around, held her
hands, and said in glee, “I have a question.”
Lucianne smirked andmented, “Why do your questions todaye right before you’re supposed to
do something? Let’s hear it.”
His eyes shone with hope as he asked in anticipation, “Can I start calling you ‘Lucy’?”
She looked at him in total confusion. “That was your question? You’re asking me whether you can call
me by my name? Haven’t you been doing that already, Xandar?”
He pouted. “No, I’ve been calling you ‘Lucianne’ like a stranger. I didn’t have the permission to call you
like how so many of the others have been calling you. I’ve had you called me by my shortened name
since we met. It’s not fair.”
Lucianne narrowed her eyes. “Your logic perplexes me, your Highness. You needed my permission to
call me by my name but you started calling me your baby, your love, your sweetheart, without ever
having the need to ask for permission for those.”(This novel will be daily updtaed at .noveljar)
He smiled cheekily. “I didn’t want you to refuse.”
She shook her head as she smiled. “Like I said, Xandar. Your logic perplexes me.”
When she tried to break free to chase him out, he held on to her and asked with a grin, “So is that a
‘yes’?”
She smirked in response to his insistence, “Yes. Now, go. You’ve already disappeared from your subjects
for the entire day. Don’t bete for dinner as well.”
“Goddess, this is one responsible Queen.” He muttered, and kissed her fingers before he was pushed
out of her door. “I can’t wait to see youter, Lucy.”(This novel will be daily updtaed at .noveljar)
For once, his animal didn’t whimper as he left Lucianne’s room. He couldn’t wait to see her again in less
than an hour. Xandar drove home with a smile on his face which didn’t falter even when he entered the
house or when was showering.
As he was getting dressed, an idea came to him so he called Juan. Juan, who had only woken up fifteen
minutes before his call, was requested by the King to be ready at the dining hall with the other members
of the alliance.
The Alpha wasn’t told the details but he dly obliged. Xandar then linked Christian to tell him about the
n he had in mind, and his cousin was all for it. After checking himself in the mirror, Xandar drove to
the dining hall.
As soon as he stepped in, everyone bowed but the person he was looking for wasn’t there. Where was
she? After motioning his subjects to stand, Xandar continued to scan the room.(This novel will be daily

Then, someone came up from his peripheral vision and bowed to him. In his menacing tone, Xandar
asked, “What are you doing here?”
