THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

REAGAN'S POV.

I knew she was going to take this badly. The old me would have kept this information from her, but I know better than to do that. It's true that I've ordered everyone who's set eyes on Selena to keep their mouths shut, but that doesn't mean they will. They'll tell someone, who'll tell someone else who's going to tell another person and it's just a matter of time before the entire pack is buzzing with the news of Selena's return. Things would get even worse between Ashanti and me if she had to find out that way.

"She's going to come around." King chimes in my mind.

"You think so?" I ask, unsure. I saw the bitterness in Ashanti's eyes when I broke the news to her. It only made her more angry than she already is at

me.

I'm not sure she's ever going to come around.

"Yes. If you decide to be with her, which I know is what you want, and stand your ground. If you prove to her that she's the one you really want to be with and that Selena's return has got nothing on you, she will get over it and we will be with her again.”

"But that's not true. Selena's return has got something on me! She is my first mate." I argue. He lets out an annoyed growl.

"Like I said before, if Selena is the one the Moon goddess wanted you to be with, she would not have sent Ashanti. Ashanti is your true mate. You have to be with her."

"You're only saying this because you can't sense Selena's wolf. If you could, this would be complicated for you as it is for me!"

"I'm done arguing with you. You can go ahead and do whatever you wish, but I need to remind you that if we lose Ashanti to another man, it's all on you!"

“Were not going to lose her to another man!"

"Do you honestly think she doesn't have suitors lined up for her hand?"NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"Hand in what?" A frown forms on my face.

"What comes to your mind after the words "asking for her hand"?"

"Impossible!"

"Keep dreaming. If you don't make up your mind right now and choose Ashanti, someone will take her from you. She's not going to wait for you forever and just because you're the Lycan King doesn't mean she cannot decide to be with another man who is sure about what he wants in life."

"King, do you always have to be so mean to me?"

"If I don't use this tone on you, you won't make the right decisions. So now, get your mind thinking!" Hee sighs and shuts me out so I cannot reach out to him anymore. The car comes to a halt. I rest lay back on the chair and exhale heavily.

My exasperation is at its peak right now.

Just yesterday I was all excited about Ashanti's return, but now, I don't even know how I feel.

Why must things always get so sour between us?

That's a question I've never gotten and answer to.

The passenger seat door is pulled open by a guard. I calmly unstrap my seatbelt and step out of the car. I have no strength left so I reply to the greetings thrown at me with a simple nod as I make my way towards the main entrance.

My mind travels back to Selena. I

didn't go back to her like I promised when I was about to leave this afternoon. She must be very worried about what's going on. I need to b be far away from her for now. If keep seeing her face, I'm going to keep getting confused and frustrated. I need to be alone so I can...

“Alpha Reagan!" A familiar, worried-filled voice calls my name and I stare up to see Kyle approaching me with a troubled look on his face. I stop in my tracks and stare at him as he approaches me, shocked to the last fibre in my body.

What is he doing here?

At this late hour?

Kyle never comes to my chambers unannounced.

"Kyle." I call back. "Is anything the matter?" I ask, aghast and he stops in front of me.

"I've been waiting for you for hours!"

"Did something go wrong?"
