Chapter 180

Lucianne’s head cocked to one side as she waited, so Xandar continued, “That you mark me right after.”

Lucianne chuckled and nodded before pulling him into another kiss. His body developed a mind of its

own when it climbed onto the bed and hovered over her. Xandar’s lips left hers only to move to her neck,

where he started licking and sucking on it as Lucianne released a stream of cute moans before the sexy

ones came out. His nose traced her jawline as his canines extended, and he whispered, “Deep breath,

baby.”

Lucianne complied, and with his animal’s instinct, Xandar’s canines plunged into her neck. Lucianne

yelped from the pain, which lasted for a brief second before it was replaced with pleasure. There was

also something else.

She felt an intense stream of emotions relating to love, devotion and gratitude. As Xandar retracted his

canines and started licking off the excess blood, Lucianne realized that those intense emotions weren’t

hers. They were her mate’s. She finally felt the intensity and depth of his love for her, and was touched

beyond words.

When Xandar was done, his eyes of affection and protectiveness locked with her glistening, smiling ones

as he uttered a deep and

alluring ‘Mine’.

Lucianne blushed under his stare and declaration before he flipped their bodies over, holding his mate on

top of him before pecking a kiss on her nose and nuzzling it as he said, “Your turn, my little freesia. Mark

me.” 1

He inched his head to one side, giving her full access to his neck. Lucianne’s tongue got to work, licking

and tenderising the area as Xandar’s thumbs stroked her bare skin on her waist, closing his eyes to

indulge in the moment he’d been waiting for since the night they met.

Her canines extended, and they plunged into Xandar’s neck. “Mm.” Xandar stiffened for a brief moment

before he moaned in delight. When Lucianne sucked on the excess blood and cleaned his wound, his

hands caressed her buttocks as he explored her emotions that he could now feel. He felt her

vulnerability; her willingness to open up to him, her certainty about what they were doing; and her love

for him that felt as strong as blazing fire.

Lucianne pecked a kiss on his chin and whispered a soft but firm, “Mine.” Another peck on his lips before

she uttered, “Thank you, my love.”

He kissed her deeply on her lips, and uttered, “Thank you for opening up to me, and for letting me love

you.” A peck on her nose, and he declared, “I love you.”

Lucianne felt the intensity of his words with their entwined emotions, and she chuckled in bliss before

she said, “I know. I love you, too.”

Xandar placed her back on the bed and held her close. As usual, Lucianne snuggled into his warm chest

and fell asleep. When Xandar was certain that she was in deep slumber, he cautiously removed his arms

wrapping around her body.

After pecking a light kiss on her forehead, he muttered, “I won’t take long, sweetheart. I’ll be right back.”

When Xandar left the bed, he picked up his phone from the nightstand and paced to the bathroom,

carefully twisting the door knob to avoid making any sounds.

In the bathroom, he gave Juan a call, and after the Alpha gave his permission and blessing, Xandar

asked for his mate’s adoptive father’s number, which Juan promised to send and chuckled as he uttered,

“Good luck.”

Those two words were enough to make Xandar more nervous than he already was. He hoped that his

heart rate wasn’t too high. His emotions were now entwined with Lucianne’s, and he didn’t want to wake

her with his nervousness and anxiety. Former-Alpha Ken wouldn’t be that scary, would he?

Ken was PISSED that Xandar had not bothered to meet him in person before courting his adopted

daughter, and now he had the gall to ask for his blessing to propose to his little girl?! THE AUDACITY!

He didn’t care that Xandar was the Lycan King! Lucianne was his daughter! She was his baby girl! 1

It took twenty minutes of persuasion over the phone for Xandar to persuade Ken that he wanted to do

right by Lucianne, that he would protect her, love her and take care of her for the rest of his life. Ken was

only a little swayed, not because of what Xandar said, but because of what his own son had linked him

over the past few weeks when Ken reminded Juan over and over again to look out for Lucianne.

Lucianne texted more than she linked her adoptive father, and from those texts and short links, she

seemed…happy with Xandar, s o Ken grudgingly gave in and added, “WHEN THIS WHOLE SH*T IN

YOUR KINGDOM IS CLEANED UP, YOU GET YOUR AS* BACK HERE AND MEET US LIKE A

PROPER MAN MY DAUGHTER DESERVES, BOY!” 5

Xandar held back pointing out that he was actually older than Ken himself, and promised to make the trip

to Blue Crescent when they were done with the rogue situation here. When the former Alpha hung up on

him, Xandar and his animal let out a sigh of

He exited the bathroom, and noticed Lucianne sleeping closer to his side, like she was looking for his

scent and warmth. Xandar smiled in the darkness and got back into bed, kissed her on the forehead as

he whispered to his sleeping mate, “Told you I won’t take long.” His arms wrapped around her body,

which made Lucianne coo in her sleep.

‘Adorable’, Xandar thought to himself before he surrendered to his fatigue as well.

###

At 4 a.m. the next morning, Xandar pulled Lucianne back into bed when she tried to get up. After a

minute, she escaped his tight grip. With his eyes still closed, he chuckled and muttered, “Already got the

strength of a Lycan, my love?”

Lucianne had just switched on the lights in the bathroom when Xandar said that, and what she saw in the

mirror made her gasp in shock. Xandar’s eyes snapped open, and he jumped out of bed before bolting to

his mate. “Baby, what is it? What’s wrong?”

Lucianne stepped closer to the mirror as she studied her reflection. Her eyes were now gradient-colored.

It starts with her original black color from the top and turns lilac towards the bottom. Her brightened

complexion made her look…younger. She looked like she was in her late teens or early twenties, and her

skin seemed healthier. With a finger pointed at the mirror, she asked Xandar, “I s that what I really look

like right now?”

Xandar chuckled and ran his fingers down her hair before he said, “No, baby. You look much more

beautiful in person.” He peered into her narrowed eyes, and stroked her eyebrow with his thumb as he

uttered, “I have to say, I’m glad your eyes have not entirely changed. I was starting to miss those black

orbs I fell for. I wonder if your animal’s eyes have changed, though I hope they haven’t.”

“Let’s see, then.” Lucianne said, and looked back into the mirror as she brought her animal forward. Her

eyes were still as blue as sapphires, and Xandar pressed her into his chest as he muttered, “Thank you,

Goddess.” He suddenly heard Lucianne cooing, and realized that he was hugging her animal in

Lucianne’s human body, not her human part per se.

Her animal continued cooing and nuzzling his neck, chin and jawline before moving to the mark Lucianne

made the previous night. She was trying to draw out Xandar’s Lycan, and it was working! His animal

demanded control, wanting some private time with its mate.

Just then, Lucianne chuckled through their link, ‘She wants him, Xandar. We’ve done it so many times

but they haven’t had the chance.

As his animal continued to push, Xandar linked, “This is going to be one uncontrollable beast we’re

unleashing, sweetheart.’

Lucianne’s animal cooed aloud coquettishly, clearly hearing his link as she continued to seduce his

animal. Lucianne chuckled again and linked, ‘Just let them, Xandar. It’s time they had their fill.’

Xandar peered into those sapphire orbs, and used his last ounce of control to peck a kiss on the back of

her hand and uttered, “As you wish, my Queen.”

Right after he said that, his animal pushed his human part away and came forward, taking control of his

body. As soon as it did, it pulled Lucianne’s Lycan into a hungry kiss, lifting her off the floor and back to

the bed. They didn’t bother unhooking the bra or removing her panties.

After Xandar’s animal kicked away his pants and let his erected shaft proudly spring free, it growled

alluringly before extending one claw to cut through the bra fabric from the middle and by the straps

before it did the same to her underwear, which got its mate even more turned on.

The way his hands grip her breasts and roam her body was rough and possessive, and the way his

tongue assaulted her folds in her wet lady part was like he had been starved for weeks on end, and

maybe he was.

Like his human, his animal loved drinking from their mate. When every drop was lapped up, he

positioned itself at her entrance and immediately pushed his long-hardened manhood into her, making

his mate yelp before it was replaced with a stream of moans. 2

The animals looked into each other’s eyes as he went in and out of her, and when she was close to

coming, he increased his speed. With a slow, seductive lick over her mark, her body convulsed and

arched upward towards him.

His animal had never felt happier as it came inside her, letting her lock him in as it cooed and nuzzled

her forehead. When her lock came loose, he still refused to leave, and with a blissful smile, he uttered a

strong, possessive and devoted ‘MATE.’

Lucianne’s animal cooed and nuzzled his nose before she muttered a gentler but equally firm ‘MATE.

The animals did another two rounds before giving back control to their human parts.
