Chapter 66

After Xandar settled the bill, he drove them back to the hotel. When they arrived, Xandar got the hotel

staff to get the books to Lucianne’s room. It took two employees two trips each before every book was

finally in Lucianne’s room.

When they were done, Xandar left them a generous tip before thanking the two shocked employees.

After closing the door behind him, Xandar looked around him and commented,” Your place is getting

smaller with all these books. It might get a little uncomfortable to live here now.” He was wondering

whether they should just send back some of those she got for her friends first.

Lucianne’s eyes sparkled when she exclaimed, “Are you kidding?! After I’ve taken them out and

arranged them all over the place, it’s going to look like a Reading Wonderland!” She then let out an

unrestrained shriek of excitement.

Xandar couldn’t help the upward curl of his lips, and he pulled her into his chest before pecking a kiss on

her nose and saying, “You are so adorable.”

Despite the warmth she felt, Lucianne shook her head with a smile and said, “You know, Xandar.

Sometimes, I feel that the Moon Goddess may have somehow drugged you with the mate bond. Either

that or it’s getting late and you’re getting drowsy so you’re not seeing mmph

Xandar pressed his lips against hers as his hands pinned her waist gently against the wall. It upsetted

him when Lucianne couldn’t see herself the way he saw her. He didn’t want to hear anymore of that for

the day.

When Lucianne let out a soft moan, Xandar’s tongue began exploring the inside of her mouth, reaching

for her throat. When her second moan came out louder than the first, Xandar arousal was coming out

strong. His hands gave gentle squeezes along the length of her small arms, and when he felt Lucianne’s

body closing itself on his, he pinned her back to the wall and moved even closer to her.

His body was already heated up as his hardened shaft pressed on Lucianne’s lower abdomen. The

meeting and parting of their lips was the only sound in the room, and after a few more moments of gentle

squeezes, Lucianne’s own arousal started filling the space between them. When she was out of breath,

Lucianne broke free as she took in large volumes of air. Xandar’s lips then moved to her neck, kissing it

and sucking on it, eliciting a third moan from his mate, which made him feel hotter and harder.

In between his efforts of getting a fourth moan from Lucianne, she softly said, “X-Xandar, w-w e should

stop.”

As much as Xandar wanted to continue worshipping her neck and her lips, he knew better than to force

her to give in. He would not be honoring her request if he didn’t listen to her. He

allowed himself one more peck on her lips before he said, “I love you.”

Her hands on his hard broad shoulders moved to his face. She caressed his cheeks and traced his

eyebrows before she said, “I know. Thank you.” 5

Xandar smiled in bliss. But suddenly, his eyes glazed over and his expression turned serious.

‘Cuz, you got a minute? It’s about the rogue Lycan.’

‘You’re lucky that this didn’t come thirty seconds earlier or we would have a problem.’

‘Uh…why?

‘I was having a private moment with my mate. Well, I’m technically still with her.’

‘ALREADY?! WOW, CUZ! CONGRA-‘

‘Don’t get ahead of yourself, Christian. It wasn’t sex. We were just making out’

AND YOU THINK THAT ISN’T AN ACCOMPLISHMENT AFTER THE SH*T WITH THE KYLTONS LAST

NIGHT?! I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO!’

Xandar chuckled through their link, ‘You don’t have to try so hard, Christian. You’re still my favorite

cousin.’

I’m irreplaceable, I know. Anyway, the rogue. The doctor just got back to me. He’ll be ready for us

tomorrow. Can I schedule for us to be at the interrogation room at 9 a.m.?’

“That shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll get Lucy to notify the members of the alliance.’

‘Okay, good. And there’s one more thing. Annie asked if she could spend a few hours with the Queen.

She said she wanted to talk to her more. Just the two of them. Could you ask her for u s?’

‘Sure. I’ll get back to you with her answer. How’s Annie been lately? The families must be making her

busier than usual. She must be exhausted.’

аг

Christian chuckled, ‘She actually seems happier, cuz. I think she likes the company.’ That’s a relief to

know. Thanks again for letting them stay over.‘ “Yeah, yeah. It’s nothing, really. I’ll see you tomorrow. Tell

the Queen I said ‘hi’ and don’t forget to ask her about Annie’s request.’

‘Will do. Talk to you in a bit, Christian.’

When he ended the mind-link, he found Lucianne stroking his right shoulder lovingly with her cute, little

thumb. He kissed her forehead before he told her about the rogue Lycan and Annie’s request. She was

happy to have a chance to spend time with Annie, and said that she would meet her for tea the following

week.

Lucianne then mind-linked Juan, who agreed to notify the rest of the alliance. When her eyes cleared,

she found Xandar gently running his fingers through the length of her hair. He

seemed fascinated by her large curls. She stood on her toes and pecked a kiss on his cheek before she

said, “Thank you for today. I had a great time.”

Xandar pecked her on her lips before he said in a husky voice, “Me too. Thank you for saying

yes.”

He nuzzled his nose with hers and elicited a soft, shy giggle from his mate before he pecked a kiss on

her cheek and bid her goodnight. As soon as Xandar got into his car and drove off, a man wearing his

cap in his own car noted the time on his notepad before he updated his comrade through text and made

his way back to where he lived.

One of the three people hired to watch Xandar and Lucianne met with their client, and he placed the

brown envelope on the table. The client opened it without a word and after going through the first few

photos, the envelope was slammed on the table and the rest of the pictures taken of Xandar and

Lucianne throughout their date were strewn all over the table and some fell on the floor.

The spy asked indifferently, “Should we continue with our watch?” The client uttered coldly, “Yes. Just

don’t be seen.”
