The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Chapter 0167 ASHANTI'S POV.

There's a sinking nervous pain in my stomach that I choose to ignore when I go back into the arena. Alina's words are replaying in my mind like an audio disc and no matter how much I want to deny her words, deep down in my heart, I know they are nothing, but the truth.

Lycans are a proud species. They would rather burn to the ground than let their Alpha marry an ordinary werewolf and have her rule over them as queen.

There's no place for me here as Alina rightly said. I have no future with the Alpha. Everything we have now is going to end. That's if it hasn't, already.

"Ashanti." A baritone voice sounds my name and I don't need to look to know it's Alpha Reagan. I stop in my tracks and turn like a robot to face him. He's frowning like I've done something wrong. "Where are you coming from?"

"The balcony. Went to take some air." I reply lifelessly. I'm still trying hard to believe he's talking to me like this.

"You can't just take breaks without asking for permission."

"I'm sorry, Alpha. It won't happen again."

"Good. Now, for your punishment. Five rounds around the arena. On your mark!" I start running before he can say the next word. Alina is snickering at a corner. The guys are exchanging confused looks. If Alina had not told me what was up, I would be just as confused as they are about what was going on.

The elders probably scolded him and made him understand they would only accept me as their Luna over their dead body....

Hold up.

How come I'm already talking about the elders accepting me when I don't know if he has accepted me. It's true that he treats me specially and most people think there's something going on between us, but there's nothing.
