The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120

Silver.

Lucianne shouted her lungs out as she charged for the next rogue, “Wolves! Watch out for silver! They’re coming! Ten blades! Maybe more!”

Most rogues were stunned to hear that. Some of them even got distracted as they exchanged glances with each other and linked, ‘How did she know?’. Their people with the blades haven’t even come out of the forest yet.

The wolves defending Forest Gloom grew cautious, keeping an eye out for silver. Xandar gave the order for Lycans to shield any wolf from silver blades should they see the blades coming first. Silver only causes a slight itch for Lycans so they can be used as a shield for their cousin species.

As Lucianne tore a rogue’s throat, she received a mind-link from Juan. ‘Lucy, how are things looking?’

‘Not a good time, Juan!’ She linked back in annoyance and continued, ‘They’re led by…’ she pounced on another rogue attacking Beta Nina before she continued, ‘Jake and Iris.’

There was a pause, and Lucianne thought he ended their link when she broke the rogue’s neck, until her brother’s surprised voice came through, ‘They’re alive?’

‘Well and angry

Juan scoffed as he said in amusement, ‘Jake’s still taking your ‘no’ to heart, huh? Iris must be pretty mad, too. She’s always been jealous of you, you know? Maybe.

‘Juan, can we do this later?! Better yet, let’s not do this at all!

‘Yeah, okay. I’ll let you get to it, little sis. But please be careful.’

When the mind-link ended, Lucianne extended her claws and leaped from the ground before impaling into the nape of a Lycan fighting Phelton, causing it to lose its balance as Phelton gave one forceful kick, throwing the rogue Lycan into the coursing river. Phelton’s animal threw the Queen a grateful smile before moving on to the next rogue.

Lucianne then ran towards the scent of silver, which were where most of the wolves were. Xandar saw his mate sprinting towards the wolves, and realized that the Lycan warriors were not evenly spread out

‘Babe, the silver. Where is it coming from?’Xandar linked Lucianne between breaking the rogue’s limbs and necks.

‘Where I got rid of the first one holding it!’.

With an authoritative howl into the dark sky, Xandar sent his warriors to the location where the first rogue with a silver blade was killed. The Lycan warriors howled in compliance to their King’s command, and sped there.

As Lucianne, Clement and Tate got ready to attack the rogue Lycan charging towards them, a growl came from the side before Iris’s ginger fur wolf pounced on Lucianne. Lucianne was thrown on the ground, and Iris wasted no time scratching Lucianne’s face with her sharp claws. Thankfully, Lucianne closed her eyes so she didn’t go blind.

Suddenly, Iris’s claws hung in the air, and as much as she tried to plunge her claws into Lucianne’s being, she couldn’t. They were stuck mid-air. What was worse for Iris was that she seemed to be shifting back, involuntarily. Her fur was shortening and disappearing, and her wolf face started morphing into her human one.

Lucianne didn’t think much of it, and reached for the silver knife she dropped not far away before stabbing Iris in her heart. With a tormenting scream, the partly-shifted Iris lost strength, and Tate kicked her body away as Clement helped Lucianne up after they had just killed the rogue Lycan from earlier.

Lucianne’s curious eyes scanned the place for an explanation of Iris halting her attack and her shifting back mid-fight. Suddenly, the three of them caught Iris’s last words spoken in a strained voice, “You. Idiot.” Lucianne and the two Alphas thought that those words were directed to Tate at first, until they followed Iris’s sights to her brother, Jake
