The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

ASHANTI'S POV.

TWO WEEKS LATER.

I have been spending the night at Alpha Reagan's chambers for straight two weeks now. The other Ha m girls are not very happy about this. The entire pack is buzzing with rumours about the kind of relationship we have.

Some say

say I'm a bedroom freak, that's why he cannot get enough of me. Others say I used a charm on him. Some kind onse have the decency to get love involved in the issue. They say Alpha Reagan has fallen in love with me and I am the chosen one. Meaning, he's going to accept me as his second chance mate.

Oh, how I wish that was true.

When I go to his chambers, the only thing we do is have fun the best way we can and have sex and sleep. We never talk about ourselves or bring up the rumours flying around or talk about what we have. The fact that our relationship hasn't been defined hurts me, but I'd rather stay guessing, than bring up the topic and get the shock of my life.

A knock on the room door snaps me out of my thoughts.

"Come in." I signal and immediately, the door opens and Tessa steps in.

"Hello." She greets me cheerfully as she walks in, closing the door behind her.

"Hi." I reply and stay focused on folding the clean clothes before me. She nods and goes into the closet to probably change her clothes. For the past two weeks, she has been acting friendly towards me and it baffles me. However, I make sure to keep my distance and ignore her as much as I can. The last thing I want is to warm up to her and get disappointed in the end.

"Here." Her voice comes through again after a few minutes and I'm shocked to see her walking towards me with a bowl of food and a bottle of apple juice. "I got this from the cafeteria on my way here." My stomach grumbles and that's when I remember that I'm hungry, but taking food from Tessa is not a safe thing to do right now.

When she senses my hesitation, she opens the bowl of food, eats three spoon fools of the casserole in it, opens the bottle of juice and sips a bit before putting both by my side on the bed. "It's not poisoned."

"I know it doesn't make up for how bity I've been these past weeks, but I'm sorry. I felt genuine fear when the man she sent to threaten me called my parents names, the names of siblings, my parents occupations, their day to day activities and even our home address.
