THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

Chapter 0049 ASHANTI’S POV. “Ashanti, why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?” That’s what I was asked when I gawked at Alpha Reagan for a solid three minutes like he’d knocked all the air out of my chest. Actually he did and I was unstable throughout training today. Nelly beat me ten rounds on ten during our duel and I’m sure everyone realised something was wrong with me. I’m losing my mind.

Why does Lena keep referring to Alpha Reagan as my mate? It makes no sense! I’m a walking corpse making its way into the bedroom I share with Tessa, but every organ in my body comes to life when I walk in and spot Alina sitting on my bed, legs crossed elegantly and waiting for me and a few metres away from her a** lies the blazer Alpha Reagan gave to me last night. This is the end.

“Alina!” I call, breathlessly as I pause in my tracks. “The one and only.” She casts me a very wide smile. She looks neat and stunning as always and her bright red lipstick makes her look even more intimidating. I clear my throat and meet her gaze, telling myself I’ll not let her bully me easily.

I’ve done nothing wrong. “What are you doing here?” I ask, trying to keep my voice steady. Her smile widens. Her gaze falls. She unwinds her crossed legs and rises to her feet, her gaze meeting mine again. The smile on her face has been replaced with a serious look.

It’s about to go down! “I think you know why I’m here.” “If it’s about what happened yesterday, you have nothing to be worried about. I didn’t sleep with the Alpha.” “You didn’t sleep with him, but you got his attention.” One step closer. I don’t bulge. I match her gaze, my molars silently grinding against each other. “He saw you, he got interested, he took you outside. That means you captured his mind in some way. You’re not supposed to do that.” “I didn’t do any of that. I didn’t even try. I was avoiding him but he still…” “Exactly my point!” Her voice is harsh. Short heavy breaths from her nostrils are fanning my face and I can feel the heat of her glare burning every inch of my face. “What is it about you that made him notice you even when you didn’t try to get his attention?” She’s looking at me like I’m a wonder.

Like I’m something fascinating. I suck in a deep breath when she lifts her left hand towards my face and gently strokes my cheek with the back of her fingers. “Is it this pretty face of yours?” Her voice is dangerously calm. I swallow hard. “Is this what he can’t resist?”

She looks at me, expecting an answer but I have none to give her. Her eyes go back to hovering all over my face. “Maybe I should put a scar on it so he’ll be repulsed every time he sees you!” Her hold hardens on my chin as she holds my head still so I’m looking deep into her eyes.

“You’re getting close to him behind everyone’s backs. You’re doing something we don’t know.” “No, I’m not!” I reply between my teeth. My face is still in her hold. “Don’t f**k with me, Ashanti!” “I won’t, cuz I’m not attracted to women!” I spit out furiously. A surprised smile spreads across her face. Her hand drops from my face and the sound of her hysterical chuckle fills the entire room. Her eyes have not left my face and I’ve not taken a step from where I’m standing. “You not only have guts, but some sense of humour.” I don’t say anything. I keep looking at her like the lunatic she is. She closes the distance between us again. “Ashanti.” I jerk my face away from

her approaching hand. She halts midair and furrows her brows at me. “I don’t like being touched.” I tell her firmly. She nods and drops her hand. “I don’t know how you’re going to do it, but make sure Alpha Reagan loses interest in you. If this whole drama escalates… If his interest in you gets. to the next level. If you try to get in my way of making that man mine, I will kill you and no one will do anything to me.

I am Royalty. I get what I want at all costs.

If I were you, I’d take this warning seriously.” She ends the statement with three gentle pats on my cheek before making her way out of the bedroom. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

I stand still on my spot, petrified and furious.

I have no idea how Alpha Reagan took interest in me. I have no idea how I’m going to make him lose that interest either.

And most importantly…

I don’t want him to stop being interested in me.
