The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Chapter 0054 ASHANTI'S POV.

"Rhea!" I shout at the top of my voice as I barge into the bedroom, slamming the door shut behind me. My eyes are flashing bright. Rigid, raw with anger and indignation. Anger is coursing through me with vigor I have never felt before. I can hardly keep my hands from shaking.

Rhea, who's lying on her bed, steps down from it and rises to her feet.

She looks confused.

"What are you doing here?" She asks.

"Why did you lie?" My voice and lips are tight as I ask her that question. Her brows crease in

confusion for a split second before they dilate and her face lights up with a smile.

"Oh...yeah... that." She chuckles. "The news must have gotten to you."

"You mean your lies?" I ask furiously. "You were the one who seduced and had sex with my boyfriend several times behind my back, not me!"

"Oh yeah? How about you go out there and tell them. See if they'll believe you." She smirks, folding her arms over breasts and taking a killer pose. Anger explodes in my brain like a dynamite and my brain flashes before my eyes a million things I can do to hurt her right now.

Pull her hair till I rip half her strands out of her scalp.

Ram her face into a nearby wall.

Punch it till she's bleeding and can't feel anything.

Beat her up to a pulp.

My clenched fists are shaking by myside as I stare at her angrily, but I implore myself and my mind to not act on those thoughts. The consequences I'll face will be way more severe than what she has done and hurting her will only make the girls believe her more.

A deep voice speaks from behind, startling me to the point where I scream and I trip as I try to take step forward, but I don't reach the ground because a pair of strong, capable arms warps around my waist from behind, stoping me from falling.
