When the second round of growls followed, Lucianneughed
hysterically for a short moment before her ck and onyx eyes tumed
sapphire, and her Authority radiated from her being. It was the first
time Greg felt that energy from her, and it felt magnificent! In fact, it
felt stronger than thete King Lucas’s Authority! Everything about
Lucianne was just so... different. 1
Lucianne directed her Authority at Kelissa,pelling her to kneel.
Kelissa felt something from Lucianne but she didn’t know what it was.
Suddenly, her legs gave way, and she fell on both knees, her head was
forced down as Lucianne stood right in front of her, allowing the
heiress a good view of her white stilettos. 2
When Lucianne decided that she had made her point, her human eye
color returned, and she asked Phelton to escort Greg to fetch all the
recording devices scattered in the residence. Greg approached the
deputy minister, and extracted one of the devices from under the couch
before handing it to Phelton as they left the room together.
Even when Lucianne’s Authority wasn''t radiating anymore, the heiress
was still stuck to the ground. Neither Kelissa''s body nor her head could
move. It was getting ufortable. A few more inches lower and her
neck may break.
Sasha, who waspelled by the King''s Authority before, recognised
thepulsion, and she muttered, “No, it''s not possible.”
Lucianne walked towards Sasha as she ordered, “Uncuff this one.”
As soon as the Oleander cuffs came off, Lucianne threw a blow in
Sasha''s face, making her slump against the wall. How dare this low-life
of a wolf punch her like that?! Sasha''s rage took over, and she pushed
herself off the wall before she charged at Lucianne. Lucianne waited for
the minister''s daughter to charge towards her before stepping to the
side and tripping her, making Sasha fall t o the ground with a loud
thud.
Lucianne then noted aloud, “It seems that prison walls can''t hold you,
Ms Cummings.”
Sasha got back up, and tried tond a few punches on Lucianne, who
easily dodged her efforts with crossed-arms as she continued speaking,
“You know, I''ve had so many opportunities to kill you, Sasha, and so
many reasons to do it but I never did it.”
Lucianne blocked Sasha''s punch with a firm grip over her fist, and
started cracking the bones there before Sasha’s other hand came to
attempt tond another blow, which Lucianne also blocked as she
started cracking the bones in that one, too. Sasha let out an agonizing
scream as she tried to retract her fists but to no avail.
“Prison would have kept you safe and alive but you had toe out,
didn’t you? It''s time I stopped giving you chances, Ms Cummings. This
ends here. But don''t worry, the death sentence I''m offering you is the
easy way out.” Sasha''s animal was surfacing, and Lucianne threw Sasha,
face down, against the floor.
The sharp tip of Lucianne’s stiletto plunged through Sasha''s nape. The
heel went right through her neck and broke the bone there, making
drops of blood stter on Lucianne’s leg and the lower part of her
white dress. As she moved away from Sasha''s lifeless body, Toby
muttered to himself, “Hm. So that''s why she chose to wear heels for this
asion.”
The rest of the alliance and policemen came in with the Kyltons'' twelve
bodyguards who tried to flee as soon as they saw the magnitude of the
attack against their employers. Christian and Xandar came inst, and
the King made a beeline for his Queen
right after Lucianne made Kelissa stand and lift her head up with her
Authority.
Xandar''s eyes zoomed in on the sttered blood on her dress and legs,
and he grabbed her arms to tum her to face him as he eximed in
worry, “Baby! What did I say about being careful?! Are you hurt?”
Lucianne heard the palpitations of his heart, and she furrowed her
eyebrows at his unnecessary panic before saying matter-of factly, “No,
Xandar. You''d know that.”
Realization hit him that their emotions were interwoven, and he didn''t
feel any pain when he was away from Lucianne so she couldn''t have
been hurt. His animal cooed at the thought of being bound to the
amazing creature before them forever, and his heart rate steadied. His
human part locked eyes with her and muttered in bliss, “Mm. That''s
true.”
He looked at her dress again. The blood still bothered him, so Lucianne
casually exined, “This was just from impaling Sasha Cummings''s neck
with my heel, darling. She''s dead now. And I let Greg beat up Livia
Aphael and Helena Tanner, by the way.” 1
Xandar nced at Sasha''s lifeless body before he nodded in
acknowledgement and muttered, “It''s about time.” A sweet peck on her
temple, and he said, “Well done, my little freesia. We''ll get you some
new shoester, okay?” Lucianne nodded dotingly, making her beast
smile with radiance as he nuzzled her nose to elicit her soft and shy
giggle. 1
Lucianne cupped his face to stop him from going any further, and that
was when Xandar realized that her hand smelled different. H e took her
hand, and gave his mate a puzzled look. Lucianne shrugged and, with
her doe eyes, said, “Greg. Just two formal pecks, darling.”
Lucianne felt his jealousy and insecurity before Xandar started sucking
on her hand, wiping his cousin''s scent off and leaving his
own there. When he was satisfied, he uttered, “There. All better now.”
Lucianne rolled her eyes despite her increasingly-visible blushes, and
said, “We still have a few things to deal with, my King, Let''s stay
focused.”
With nothing but affection, he responded, “As you wish, my Queen.”
Both their smiles faltered when their sights converged on Kelissa, who
just stood there like a statue as tears of anger streamed down her
cheeks. Xandar then said in a low voice, “I have to say, I''m impressed
that you''re containing yourself, Kylton.”
Lucianne then rified, “Oh, that''s me, darling. I used the Authority to
mute her and make her stand still. Here, let me get rid of it.” Lucianne
removed her Authority over Kelissa with a blink of her eyes.
Once the Authority was lifted, the heiress’s stiff body came loose, and
she hissed, “You could only do that because of Xand-."
Xandar''s voice was low when he growled and said, “My mate can do
just fine on her own. And I am your King. You WILL address me by my
title.”
Kelissa''s eyes of despair met Xandar''s onyx orbs when she said, “She
can''t be Queen, X-"
Xandar growled and pinned Kelissa''s neck to the wall, which was when
Greg and Phelton returned. Greg noticed Sasha''s body, and actually felt
lighter knowing that she was dead, unable to hurt Lucianne again. He
wondered who killed her, and while everyone was staring at his cousin
attacking the heiress, Greg''s investigative eyes traced the trail of
bloodstains on the light carpet to Lucianne’s stiletto, and he smiled to
himself.
Kelissa''s hands tried to pull Xandar''s fingers away but to no avail. He
was too strong. So, while her air supply was running out, her hand
reached out to touch his cheek, making Xandar growl again before
throwing her body at the cab of ornaments, shattering the ss
casing. He then wiped off the sensation that Kelissa''s touch left on his
cheek with his sleeve in haste, like her touch carried a transmittable
virus. Lucianne could feel his disgust and his animal''s anger at what the
heiress just did. 1
His homicidal tone sent a shiver down everyone''s spines when he
dered, “NO ONE can touch me but MY MATE.”
Lady Kylton then pleaded, “Your Highness, please. Don''t hurt her! She''s
innocent!”This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
“Innocent?” Greg scoffed, “She led the conspiracy to send rogues to
attack the Queen on more than one asion, discreetly asking the
rogue Alpha to mark her against her will and you''re calling that piece of
dirt an innocent?”
Upon hearing that, Xandar flung Kelissa''s body against another cab.
The ss shattered all over her body like the first.
Lord Kylton then shouted at Greg, “YOU''RE PART OF THE CONSPIRACY,
YOU SCUM! AND YOU TOLD CUMMINGS ABOUT US WHEN SHE
WANTED TO SENT ROGUES TO THE JEWEL PACK! YOU MADE THAT
CALL THAT SENT THEM THERE!" All eyes converged on Greg.
