The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Chapter 0017

"Good morning, Delta Kyle." I greet respectfully.

"Good morning, Ashanti." His scorching gaze hovers all over my face. "You look beautiful this morning." His words jar in my ears like loud music. Did I hear him right? Did he just compliment me? My eyes widen with surprise.

"Thank you." I croak, still not daring to meet his gaze.

"You have your hair down, why's that?" His eyes are trained on my head and that's when I understand the reason why I've been feeling so hot and uncomfortable all this while. It's because I haven't tied my hair up.

"Oh..." a chuckle follows that exclamation. "I ... I actually forgot to tie it up even though I have a rubber band here with me." I say pointing to the two rubber bands on my left wrist. I roll them out of my hand and the Delta steps forward.

"Let me help you." He calmly offers.

What?

Before I know what's going on, he takes the rubbers from my hand and gets behind me. I give Nelly as horrified look. She simply shrugs and walks away, smiling. She's leaving me to perish here. Alone.

"It's all done." Delta Kyle announces after a few minutes of fumbling with my hair and steps in front of me once again, beaming. My left hand goes up to my hair. He has indeed tied it up in a ponytail. Wow.

"Thank you very much, Delta Kyle." I thank him with my most charming smile.

"You are welcome. Jog with me." He takes on his heels and I follow him, but when he sees that I'm struggling to keep up with his pace, he slows down for me. What a gentleman!

"That's nice."

By the time we complete the tenth round in the arena, I'm limp and breathless. I fall on the floor and suck in all the oxygen in the room. Delta Kyle remains standing as he laughs at me. He's about to say something when the peaceful atmosphere is interrupted by loud laughing voices. We all turn to look at the entrance and see a group of soldiers walking into the arena, engaged in
