The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Chapter 0034 ASHANTI'S POV.

I can still feel Alina's fingers wrapped around the fabric of my shirt, strangling me as I walk into the bedroom. With a sharp inhale and my eyes closed, I close the door behind me and the darkness behind my eyelids is a welcome relief until the memory of her face forces itself into my consciousness.

Right now, it's safe to say that Alina is my worst nightmare in this H**m.

The audio tape of her voice wants to start replaying in my mind, but I smash in and throw it off a cliff and head to my bed. Sitting down, I open the

dad drawer and take out the picture of my mum, and I. The framed picture Rhea destroyed a few days ago. This is the first time I'm touching it ever since. Tessa told me she had kept it in the drawer. I didn't have the heart to see the only thing I had left of the once happy family I used to have ruined by the same person who destroyed it.

Tears well up in my eyes as I trace my parent's faces. They are both smiling from molar to molar and me, between the two of them looks like the happiest child in the world.

Everytime I stare at this picture, I wonder if this smile on my father's face was even genuine because by this time, he had already cheated on my mother with Rhea's mother and had Rhea. +15 BONOS

Did he ever truly love my mum and I?

I keep asking myself that question.

I try to pull myself further on the bed, but the paper slips from my hand and drops on the floor, the part with the image facing downwards. As I bend over to pick it up, my eyes catch the sight of scribbled writing at the back of the picture. My eyes brows crease in surprise as I pick it up, trying to read what's written on it.

I have never seen that there.

Minutes fly by, but I'm still unable to string the letters I see into meaningful words that will make me understand what the note is talking about.

This has got to be a note to me from my mother.
