THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

Chapter 0032 ASHANTI’S POV. The world is fading in and out of focus, shades of gray, as I follow the s e r v a n t along the hallway with her words still ringing in my mind. “…you’ve been summoned by the Lycan King…” I am one piece of fear forged into being. News about the jewelry must have reached his ears and he has summoned me to pronounce my punishment. What is it going to be? More days in the dungeon, this time around without food or water. Way more laborious punishment. Execution. Banishment. Oh, how I would love for it to be banished. I will finally leave this G forsaken H a re m and go find my mother. “We are here.” The s e v a n t announces as she stops in front of the door. I swallow dryly and do the same. She gives a gentle knock on the door and once the signal comes through for us to go in, she turns to me with a wry smile on her face. “Brace yourself, klepto, he doesn’t go easy on thieves.” She walks away, leaving me to go face the Alpha’s wrath all by myself. +15 BONOS Chapter 0032 Drawing in one last breath, I push the door open and step into the sophisticated lounge. My head drops down in a bow the moment my eyes fall on him. “Good morning, Alpha Reagan.” My words are a broken whisper. “Look at me.” His instruction is like heat that consumes my face. I obey. My eyes trace the perfectly sculpted lines of his face. He has pressed his lips together in concentration. He is nothing but lean muscle. “Come closer.” Another instruction which makes my bones buckle. I take a few steps closerThis content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

to him. “Why did you s k p training for two days?” He asks with a serious look on his face. His voice is dangerously husky, his words tingle on my skin. That’s not the question I was expecting. “I uh…I…” I clear my throat. “I i e d the first day because I was listed among the girls who had to serve the men at night and for the…” “You served men at night?” He cuts me off, sounding shocked by the fact that I served men. Something dangerous flashes in his eyes. Anger. I swallow the bullets in my throat and nod my head. “Yes, I did. That is the reason why I was brought here along with the other girls. To serve men.” “What’s this rumor I hear about you stealing someone’s jewelry?” He changes the topic. My palms turn sweaty. My heart is in my throat. I try to +15 BONOS Chapter 0032 shake off the nerves so I can answer the question, but fail. I’m standing there like a pile of nonsense. Ashanti.” He calls my name. An indication of his impatience. “I was falsely accused.” I finally talk. “I know nothing about the necklace.” “Hmmm” He mumbles under his breath, his eyes trained on me, brows raised. It’s a miracle I haven’t melted under his gaze. “I would never steal anyone’s belongings, let alone my sister’s.” “So, you were accused by your sister?” A ridge forms between his brows as they furrow. “Step-sister, actually.” I emphasize, nodding my head. He shuts his eyes close and leans back on his chair, sighing heavily. I just stand there, not knowing what to do with myself. I thought he was going to order me to get on my knees the moment I walked in here, but from the look of things, it seems he’s willing to reason with me. I take a step back out of fear when he snaps his eyes open again. “And you are being honest with me? You didn’t steal the necklace?”

“I swear on my life, I didn’t.” The door creaks open and I turn to look. My heart jumps out of my chest when I see Ma’am Lisa walking into the room. She offers Alpha Reagan a greeting and a respectful bow. He asks her to come closer like he did me. Chapter 0032 “Alpha, you called.” “I’ve been told you had Ashanti punished for stealing a necklace.” His voice is deep and steady. Ma’am Lisa nods her head. “Yes, I did. Alpha.” “Did you carry out a proper investigation to confirm if she actually stole the necklace or not?” I shoot a glance in Lisa’s direction. Her head is still bowed down. “Are you going to give me a reply or not?” He sounds irritated. “I found the necklace in Ashanti’s bag, Alpha.” “Did you or did you not carry out a proper investigation?” Alpha Reagan repeats his question, his tone not sounding very calm this time round. “I did not.” Ma’am Lisa croaks. Something snaps in my stomach. I look back at the Alpha and there’s a scorn on his face. Darkness in his eyes. I can’t believe he’s questioning her because of me. He’s actually trying to get to the root of this issue. “And you didn’t deem it necessary to report an issue as sensitive as this to me. You handled it yourself by punishing someone who could be innocent of the crime you accuse her of committing. You seem to be the Alpha here, Lisa, not me.” Ma’am Lisa sinks to her knees and her face almost touches the floor when she bows to him. “Forgive me, My Lord. I didn’t mean for it to look. like that. I had no right to carry out judgment on a case that should have been handled by you. I’m +15 BONOS Chapter 0032 sorry. Please forgive me.” She cries like a baby. I’m dumbstruck as I watch her cry and beg on her knees. Someone tell me what’s going on here.

Alpha Reagan clears his throat as he looks down at her. “There’s something called false incrimination, Lisa. That’s why a crime gets investigated before a verdict is passed. This is the last time you’ll ever pull a stunt like this without my knowledge. Am I understood?” “Yes, My Lord.” She bows so low, her head touches the floor. I don’t feel sorry for her. I silently wish Alpha Reagan would dismiss her from this Harem. I take a step back when he rises from the sofa. My body heats up when he looks at me. “Whatever punishment she gave you has been uplifted from this moment. You resume training at eight am tomorrow. Don’t be late.” “Thank you, Alpha.” I say with a wide smile and an exaggerated bow. My forehead almost touches my knees. He shakes his head and saunters out of the lounge like a ghost sliding through a crowd. I look back at Lisa who is glaring at me like she wants to eat me whole. She’s still on her knees. She must feel pretty humiliated. “What are you looking at? Leave!” I run out of the room.
