The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Chapter 0163

ASHANTI'S POV.

I'm rummaging through my closet for what to wear and go over to Alpha Reagan's chambers. It's almost five pin and the driver will be here any time soon to pick me up. I finally settle for a pair of pink shorts and a black fitting blouse and since the weather is a bit chilly this evening, I throw a white hoodieover it and take out my sneakers from the shoe section. I'm not going to wear them now, I'll do so when the servant comes to announce the driver's arrival.

I look at myself in the mirror, satisfied with my outfit. It's casual, but cute.

The moment I get into the bedroom, there's a knock on the room door.

My heart skips a beat everytime I hear that knock even though they're going to give me the same news. That's because hearing that the driver has arrived to pick me up excites me and there's not a day I won't be excited to go spend the night with Alpha Reagan.

"Come in." I signal as I sit on the bed and start putting on my shoes.

The driver arrived earlier than I thought he would.

"Ashanti." The servant's familiar voice calls.

"Tell the driver I'll be there in a minute." I say, not even sparing her a glance.

"Ashanti, there's no driver." She calmly tells me. I stop trying to put on my shoe and look at her. Brows creased.

"Huh?"

"Alpha Reagan called. He said to tell you not to come over tonight." Her words slap my face like a hundred hands would. My heart runs into my stomach, my ears start itching and my palms get all sweaty. He doesn't want to spend the night with me today.

That's completely normal right? Why then do I feel so hurt?

"Oh... okay." I say trying to keep a cheerful look despite my urge to burst into tears.
