Chapter 74


    Xandar and Christian treated the alliance to lunch, and everyone dispersed after that. Christian went


    home to Annie, and the alliance headed back to the hotel for a rest.


    When Lucianne got into Xandar’s car after waving goodbye to the others outside the restaurant, Xandar


    smashed his lips on hers without warning. He then pulled away just slightly before saying, “I want to


    show you something. Come with me?” Lucianne averted her gaze and blinked to get herself out of her


    daze from the kiss but Xandar pressed another deep one on her lips as he said in a husky voice, “Don’t


    think, Lucy. Just say yes.” He kissed her gently again before whispering, “Say yes.”


    Lucianne could only smile shyly as her thumb traced his lower lip line while muttering in a soft voice, “I


    was going to say yes when you first asked anyway.”


    He took her hands and pecked a kiss on her cheek and said, “You’re so cute when you’re shy.”


    Her already-warm cheeks became even warmer. “Xandar, I’d like my hands back please.” She

    nced at her small hands secured firmly in hisrger ones.


    He grinned as he said, “No, you’ll just cover your face. I like seeing you like this.(This novel will be daily


    updtaed at .noveljar) All red and warm.”


    Lucianne tried to control the blushes while thinking of a way out, “Unless the thing you wanted to show


    me is here in the parking lot, don’t you think we should get going?”


    Xandar smirked as he held both her hands in one of his, and his free hand reached for her chin as he


    said, “Nice try, sweetheart. We have time. I don’t see the need to rush there.” His thumb then started


    stroking her warm skin on her cheek for a moment before he uttered like he was in a trance, “Beautiful.”


    Doubt crept into Lucianne’s eyes, and she forced a meek smile under his gaze. His animal whimpered,


    fully aware that she still didn’t believe she was beautiful. He pressed their foreheads together and


    pecked a kiss on her lips before saying, “Lucy, you are the most beautiful creature in this Kingdom. Even


    the Moon Goddess would be jealous of your beauty.”


    Lucianne scoffed but she stopped herself from arguing with him when she saw that her reaction only


    made Xandar look even more hurt. She kissed him on his chin and uttered sincerely, “Thank you,


    Xandar.”


    The hurt didn’t vanish, and Xandar sighed softly before he kissed her fingers and said in a firm tone,


    “You’ll believe me one day. I’ll make sure of it.”


    He finally let go of her hands and reached for the steering wheel, driving them out of the parking lot and


    back to his vi. Xandar then led Lucianne out of his garage and towards the forest behind his home.


    When they reached the trees, his eyes fixed on his mate’s as he said,” We should shift, Lucy. It’s quite a


    run from here.”


    “Okay.” Lucianne was turning until Xandar caught her hand and pulled her into another brief kiss before


    letting her go. They both shifted behind different trees, and Lucianne held her clothes between her


    canines as she came out from her changing spot. Xandar’s Lycan approached her and it knelt on one


    knee as Xandar linked, ‘Babe, let me hold that for you. You might get your clothes dirty.’


    He didn’t even wait for her to respond before reaching for the clothes in her mouth and holding it with his.


    When it was secured in his hands, he asked, ‘Ready?’


    ‘Yup. But not too fast, Lycan.’


    He smirked, ‘Not so cocky about a wolf’s speed and agility now, are you, my love?‘


    She narrowed her eyes, ‘Ohh, I cannot wait to find techniques to defeat your animal.’


    His Lycan chuckled. ‘Neither can I, Lucy.''(This novel will be daily updtaed at .noveljar) It then


    nuzzled its nose with hers as she giggled through the mind-link, melting the heart of the strongest and


    most ferocious creature in the Kingdom. “Let’s go.” He said and they started running through the trees.


    Lucianne paws hit the ground on the unfamiliar forest floor. Sunbeams which hit the ground lit up the


    forest. The adrenaline rush was intoxicating, and Lucianne ran faster and faster. Xandar sped up


    whenever he noticed Lucianne was. After a good fifteen-minute run, they came to two paths. Xandar


    motioned to the left and that’s where they went.


    ‘Where does the other one lead to?’


    ‘If we kept running for another twenty minutes, we’d reach Christian’s and Annie’s ce.’


    ‘Oh. That’s nice.


    He chuckled in response, and they kept going down the path until they came to a gushing river. The


    boulders in them seem to form a narrow path to get across.


    ‘I should carry you to get across! ‘The boulders are quite broad. I think I’ll be woah–‘


    Xandar lifted up her wolf with ease, and carefully strode across the river before putting her back down


    when they reached the other side. After running through another stretch of trees, they came to a


    clearing. The sight before them left Lucianne awestruck.


    Her widened sapphire eyes took in therge field of freesias of all colors before them. She took small


    steps towards a batch of red ones near where she was standing, and inhaled the fruity scent. Her Lycan


    mate was next to her when he asked softly through their link, ‘Do you like it?’


    Her excited sapphire orbs met his nervous lc ones as she said, ‘What’s not to like? Look at the flowers!


    It’s like they run for acres! I can’t even see the end of this field. It’s amazing!


    ‘You’re amazing, Lucy.’Xandar said and nuzzled on her forehead. ‘We’re not there yet. Let me


    show you my spot.’ He lifted her up and ced her over his shoulder. Lucianne was going to protest until


    she noticed that she had a better view of the flowers from above.


    Xandar put her down when they reached arge acacia tree. (This novel will be daily updtaed at


    .noveljar)The interesting thing was that this tree had its bark surrounded by the flowers from the


    field. The other smaller and thinner trees by its side didn’t. Xandar put his mate down gently and said,


    ‘Let’s shift back, darling.’


    ‘What’s wrong with staying in our animal form?’


    ‘Other than being unable to see your blushes? Absolutely nothing. Go on. You take that tree. I’ll take the


    one on this side.’ He passed the white wolf her clothes and ushered it to one of the smaller trees. He


    then disappeared behind another one on the other side.
