The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Chapter 0162 REAGAN'S POV.

It's never a good thing when the elders call for a meeting with me involved. They definitely want to discuss something annoying. Last time, the meeting was about me finding a second. chance mate who will rule by my side as Lama and bear me an heir that will continue my line.

True. It's a good reason to call a meeting since I'm their leader, but that doesn't change the fact that it annoys me a great deal. Sometimes I wish I could just live my life as I please. "Kyle." I call when he walks to me from the car he arrived in. My Beta Ronald is doing the

same.

"My Lord." He answers with a curt bow.

"Do you have any idea why the elders have called this meeting?"

"No, My Lord. But my guess is, they've called to talk about the mate issue. It's been a while since the girl's arrived, but you've still not mentioned anything about choosing a mate among them." He explains thoughtfully and bile churns in my stomach. I turn to my Beta who instantly bows his head to avoid eye contact with me.

"What about you, Ronald, any idea or guess?"

"No idea, but I'm guessing the same thing Kyle just mentioned." I sigh in exasperation.

"Bloody council of elders." I mumble under my breath and lead the way into the building.

What irks me the most is that they are right to mount this pressure on me. I need an heir sooner or later as tradition demands, but as an individual, I'm not ready for that yet.

I'm not even ready to be committed to anyone right now.

Everyone rises to their feet and bow their heads the second 1 set foot into the conference room. A chorus greeting follows, which I nod to and signal them to take their seats. I walk to the head seat of the table and make myself comfortable. There are guards stationed at every corner of the room. Kyle and Ronald occupy the nearest seats on my left and right hand side. Once we are all settled in our various seats, I clear my throat and look at the elders who are seated around the table with eager expressions.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of this very formal meeting called by my council of elders?" I ask calmly, but the seriousness in my voice cannot be missed. The head of the council of elders, clears his throat and trains his eyes on me.

and tongues are still wagging. That rumour doesn't appear to be dying down anytime soon." He explains and there are nods of approval from the rest of the elders. My eyes flick from Ronald, to Kyle who both seem to

"It's been a while since anyone has seen you get deeply involved with a girl since the passing of your true mate. You shut yourself out and never had any relationship with women, but since this girl arrived, things have been different with you. We've heard of and seen you do things you haven't been able to do with any other for many years now. That's why we thought it wise to find out from you if she's the chosen one." The old man expatiates and I lean back on the backrest of my chair.
