The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Chapter 0022

ASHANTI'S POV.

Flabbergasted is the right adjective to use to

describe my current state. I'm glued to my spot, my mouth is hanging open in shock as I gape at Delta Kyle who's smiling down at me like he has lost his mind.

I came out of the building and met him here, waiting for me.

He wants to walk with me to the training center!

"Delta Kyle!" 1 call, just to be sure my eyes are not failing me. His smile broadens as he inches closer to me.

"The one and only." He stops in front of me and my eyes give a quick scan of his outfit. He's wearing at matching gray Adidas track suit and a pair of white, sneakers. There's a black sling bag hanging from his left shoulder to his right torso. The track suit is not tight-fitting, but it doesn't fall to print out his muscular body build that looks very hot.

I take a step back to digest everything that's going

on.

"What are you doing here?" I manage to croak a question as I look at his face. His smile falters.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm here to meet you so we can walk together to the training center. You always arrive before me so I figured you left the house earlier, that's why I was here at about seven am." Wait, what?

The time right now is seven forty-five am. That

A sharp gasp escapes my chest.
