Chapter 67
The next morning, Lucianne got out of bed and almost tripped over one of the many paper bags of books
in her room. This made her recall the entire day she spent with Xandar, and she smiled to herself in the
dark as she changed for her morning run.
When her white wolf was approaching the same spot she went to every morning, she caught the scent of
acacia wood and forest trees before Xandar’s Lycan came into view.
His animal got up from where it was sitting and approached her slowly. Its lc eyes fixed on hers as he
mind-linked, ‘Morning, beautiful.’
“Good morning, Xandar. I don’t recall having a date this morning.’ She teased.
He smirked, ‘I was here from a morning run. Bumping into you is just a bonus.’Xandar lowered himself
and buried his nose in Lucianne’s neck as he linked, ‘But if you want to call i ta date, I’ll be more than
happy to oblige.’
His animal then inhaled deeply, taking in her scent greedily. Lucianne stopped herself from moaning as
she linked, ‘X-Xandar, you very well know Ie to this spot every single morning.’
Was it this spot? I guess that was why I found it so familiar.’ He continued to mock ignorance in a
coquettish tone. He took another deep breath from her neck and asked, ‘How did you sleepst night?
‘G-Good.’ She fumbled on her words as she swallowed another moan in her throat before she asked,
‘You?’
‘Mm. It was okay until I woke up missing you.’ His head moved away from Lucianne’s neck and his lc
eyes met her ck orbs as he nuzzled his nose with hers before asking, ‘Did you miss me?’ There
wasn’t cockiness in his voice, just anticipation and nervousness. It was clear that the insecurity he felt
from the previous night had not dissipated. 2
‘I did.’ Lucianne shyly admitted. She then nuzzled her nose with his chin and along his jawline before
pulling herself away to lock gaze with him.
A huge grin was spread across Xandar’s face. His eyes sparked pure happiness. He didn’t expect
Lucianne to offer his Lycan such an intimate gesture on their second encounter with each other. Its arms
reached out to gently lift the beautiful white wolf off the ground before cing her on hisp. Xandar
pulled her close to his chest as he leaned against a tree.
His hand cautiously started stroking her white fur along the length of her back. Lucianne’s animal purred
in bliss at his touch. And his Lycan soughtfort and peace from the sound she made and from the
softness of her fur against his palm. ‘Adorable’, he thought to himself.
When dawn broke, Lucianne pushed herself up from Xandar’sp. But before she could leap off, he lifted
her by her forelimbs to face him as he asked frantically through their link,
Where are you going?’
Lucianne responded simply, ‘Back to my room. We have an interrogation session with the others at 9
a.m. I have to get myself cleaned up and get ready. You should, too.’
He then pressed her into his chest and hugged her like she was a plush toy as he linked, ‘Just a few
more minutes. It’s not thatte yet. And you’re so cozy.‘
Lucianne tried to push away his body with her paws but Xandar was too strong. Their bodies didn’t even
budge. Frustrated, Lucianne groaned and warned, ‘Xandar, if I have to be in the interrogation room
without breakfast because you won’t let me go, I’m going to give you a concussion at training tomorrow.’
“Okay.’ He linked softly and held her tighter, snuggling himself deeper into her fur.
‘Seriously? Xandar, just let go of me. We’re going to see each other in a few hours from now anyway!
He ignored her attempts to break free, and continued holding her as heined, ‘Mm. Too long.’ A
lightbulb moment then came his way, and he released Lucianne from his embrace to have their eyes
meet. Xandar still held her by her forelimbs above the ground as he asked in excitement, ‘How about we
have breakfast together? Then you’ll get to eat, and I’ll get to see you sooner! It can be our second date!

Lucianne smirked, ‘Well-yed, my King. Well-yed. Now put me down.’
‘Is that a yes?’ He asked in glee.

Lucianne was blushing as she rolled her eyes and said, ‘Yes. Now put me down, Xandar.’He embraced
her briefly before setting her on the ground and nuzzling her forehead as he linked, ‘Can’t wait to see you
later, sweetheart. I love you.’
Lucianne was starting to wonder whether her blushes were visible under her thick, white fur. ‘I know.
Thank you.’
Xandar brought her to a coffee house near the police station so they didn’t have to rush over thereter.
Unlike the previous day, they didn’t take their time with breakfast. They finished u p in less than an hour
and went to the station. The members of the alliance had just arrived and they were with Christian, who
was looking serious as he spoke to the three policemen that got the prisoner ready.
When Christian saw his cousin and Lucianne, a gracious smile stretched across his serious face, and he
paused the conversation before greeting aloud, “Ah, My King. My Queen. You’re both here.”
After exchanging bows, the Chief of the Police Force, Dalloway, continued to brief them, “So, he’s been
in Oleander Cuffs since you brought him here, your Grace. He hasn’t said a word since his captivity. He
did try to mind-link someone twice when he first woke up. Never again after that.”
Oleander Cuffs are made specifically for Lycan criminals. It is the only type of cuffs capable o f
suppressing a Lycan’s abilities. When these are on, they can’t heal, speed or even mind-link, and their
strength is equal to that of a human. The little extra of these cuffs is that a detection chip is embedded in
them to monitor whether a prisoner tries to mind-link someone, and if s o, whom? The downside is that
the person whom the prisoner is trying to link can only be detected by theputer system if the link is
strong enough.
Xandar asked, “How intense was the link?”
“Our systems detected it to be faint, my King. The doctors say that may be due to his weakened
physique at that time. The cuffs were never taken off him. And there haven’t been any attempts to break
it, loosen it or anything of that sort.” Lucianne then asked, “Are you able to identify who he is?”
