The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Chapter 0138 ASHANTI'S POV.

"I asked what's going on here?" Alpha Reagan repeats his question as he approaches us. We all bow and mutter a unanimous greeting and Lisa raises her head up to reply to him.

"Alpha Reagan. We are here to settle an issue. Linda here falsely accused Ashanti of stealing her necklace, but after checking the CCTV footage of this hallway, I found out she was lying and that she was the one who planted the necklace among Ashanti's belongings before raising the alarm." Ma'am explains calmly and a proud smile forms on my lips.

Knowing her history of disliking me, I never expected her to handle this so well, but she has surprised me. I'm impressed.

The last time she passed a judgement without carrying out proper investigation, she got a proper scolding from Alpha Reagan. I'm sure she didn't want that scenario to repeat itself, that's why she took it upon herself to investigate.

Smart move.

"So this girl here put her own necklace among Ashanti's belongings and then proceeded to accuse her of stealing it?" Alpha Reagan asks in a calm, but deadly tone. Ma'am Lisa nods her head.

"Yes Alpha."

"Please Alpha..." Linda falls to her knees, palms joined together as she looks up at him with tears in her eyes. "It wasn't my idea. I was asked to do so. I was threatened by Alina and Rhea. Please, I'm sorry." "What punishment have you decided for her?" Alpha Reagan completely ignores her pleas. It makes me happier.

"She has been demoted to the normal H**m Quarters. She knows she has until midnight to transfer all her stuff to her former room." Linda starts wailing on the floor.

"Good. That each her lesson never to falsely incriminate someone. If you were being threatened you had to do was report to the authorities, but you didn't. That proves you were more than happy to cause trouble for this innocent girl and for that, you will be punished. Get her out of my sight!" Guards file in from nowhere and grab Linda's arms. She starts screaming and begging as they pull her out of the hallway while Lisa tries to shush her as she follows. Peace and quietness only returns to the hallway again when they get into the elevator and it takes them away.

I don't feel sorry for her one bit.
