Chapter 68
Chief Dalloway looked at Lucianne and said apologetically, “No, my Queen. I’m afraid not. We’ve taken
his blood and run it through hospital records but no one has contacted us with a match yet.”
She then asked, “No criminal records either, I suppose?”
He shook his head in dismay. “None, my Queen.”
Xandar then noted, “So he’s either a first-time offender or this is his first time getting caught.”
Chief Dalloway spoke up, “If I may, my King, we think it’s thetter. First-time offenders are
re fridgetty and more willing to blurt something, even if it’s blurting a lie. This one is unusually calm and
quiet. The medical team said that there’s nothing wrong with his physique or mental abilities, so he’s
ready for questioning.”
Xandar’s face hardened just slightly and he uttered, “Good. Show the members of the alliancet o the next
room to watch. We’ll take it from here.” “Yes, your Highness.”
The other two policemen who were with the Chief held open the door for the wolves. That was when
Xandar called out, “Juan,” Everyone turned, and Xandar smiled as he continued,” Christian and I were
hoping that you could join us.”
Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise. Lucianne was surprised as well, and she could not help the
upward curl of the corner of her lips. Juan nced at Lucy and the alliance before he nodded with a
grateful smile, “It would be my pleasure, your Highness. Thank you.”
The alliance went into the room. Juan and Christian waited outside the door of the interrogation room
because Xandar wasn’t ready yet. Xandar held on to Lucianne’s hand to stop her from following the
others.
Looking deeply into her ck orbs as he held her hands, he then pecked a kiss on her forehead and
uttered softly, “Baby, we’re not going to y nice in there. We’ll try our best to y fair. But…” he
furrowed his brows and averted his gaze for a moment before he locked his eyes with hers again, “But I
might have to use the King’s Authority if he refuses to speak.”
The King’s Authority is like an Alpha’s Authority, only stronger because Xandar was the Lycan King.
When it is emitted, it enables the King topel any of his subjects to do anything hemands, the
same way Alphas canmand their pack members. When ites to the King’s Authority, not even
the Queen is strong enough to defy it.
It is a very archaic power that is seldom used by civilized Alphas and Kings, who believe that using that
power to force people against their will simply makes them a ruthless dictator, one who has no qualms in
choosing to abuse their power. Xandar himself always felt ufortable wielding it after his father’s
death that he had never used it. He only tested it o
n Christian once for fun because his cousin was curious. It worked, to Christian’s excitement and to
Xandar’s dismay. They never activated it again after that time.

His worried eyes pierced into his mate’s as he kissed her fingers before assuring her firmly, “I just want
you to know that I will never use that on you or on anyone innocent. If I use it in there, it’s because I have
to. I just need you to be safe, okay?”
Lucianne took her hands from his and reached for his face, pulling it down to peck a kiss on his lips
before she whispered, “I know you enough to know that you won’t use it unless you need to, Xandar. Go.
It’ll be okay.”
He smiled with relief and pecked another kiss on her nose before uttering, “Thank you for understanding,
baby.”
Lucianne stepped into the room where the other wolves were. Most of them had pulled a chair close to
the one-way mirror to study the prisoner. Those who didn’t sit were leaning close to the ss, eyes
converging on the figure in the next room.
The prisoner’s cuffed hands were on the small square table. He sat with an upright back facing the
entrance. The police took precautions seriously, seeing that they tied his legs to the chair he sat in as
well. He didn’t look scared or defeated. It was difficult to know what was going through his head. He just
looked like he was waiting to catch a subway for work.
Lucianne pushed herself up to sit on the rectangr table behind her friends in their chairs. Toby joined
her.
Xandar entered the interrogation room with Christian, Juan and Chief Dalloway behind him. The King’s
face was dark and hardened. Menacing didn’t even begin to describe Xandar at that moment. He looked
like he was ready to single-handedly ughter an entire pack.
When he reached the rogue, Xandar mmed the prisoner’s head against the table and he groaned in
pain. The wolves from the other room flinched upon the impact. Lucianne jerked i n shock as well. She
thought that they were going to be nice first, then use force. 1
Toby whispered from her side, “Let’s be fair. If it was someone else who got stabbed, you would’ve done
what the King just did.”
“No argument there.” She said with a smile.
The three men took their seats around the square table, and the Chief stood at the side, ready t o take
notes. Xandar sat facing the rogue. He growled in warning as he said, “Talk.”
The rogue, whose head was already inmed as he smirked, “About what, your Highness?”
Christian had an equally deathly expression as he extended his ws and plunged them into the rogue’s
arm with force before pulling it back out, eliciting a second groan from the rogue.” If your mind is foggy
from your time here. Let’s start simple: who sent you to the Jewel Pack?”
Blood stains started forming inrge patches on the arm area of his prison clothes but no one gave a
dam*. The rogue gritted his teeth to cope with the pain as he uttered, “No one.” He was
clearly lying.
Juan’s hand reached for his nape and gave it a good enough squeeze before he said darkly,“ You’d die
trying to protect your boss, huh? You don’t see your boss protecting you now. You’re the one rotting
here.”
The rogue’s dark chuckle that came next would send a shiver down the spines of anyone with a faint
heart. Juan retracted his hand seeing that the rogue was about to say something. With a cocky smirk,
the rogue locked eyes with Juan and taunted, “At least I’m capable of protecting someone. What did you
aplish when your wolf needed you?”
