The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

ASHANTI'S POV.

I'm terribly upset that Alina got away again. I don't know how she does it, but I'm going to give it to her. She's good. She knows how to use her power and influence to her advantage and she's not slacking off. She's so desperate to get me out of Alpha Reagan's life that she's ready to destroy other people's lives and even go to the extent of committing murder just to get to me. She's dangerous and just like always, I need to be very wary of her.

"What's going to happen to Rhea?" I ask Alpha Reagan once we step into his bedroom. He closes the door behind him and focuses his gaze on me.

"You shouldn't be bothered about that." He says curtly. I shake my head.

"I'm not asking that because I'm bothered. I just... you know..." I shrug my shoulders. "I just want to know what's in store for her. The extent of her punishment."

"The extent of her punishment." He walks past me and stops a few metres ahead. I turn to look, but he's backing me. A frown forms on my face as I bore holes through his back with my scorching glare. I won't be surprised if he doesn't reply to me and suddenly changes the topic.

He's very good at that.

"Is it possible that she be sent back to our father's pack?" That question gets his attention. He swiftly spins around and pins me on my spot with a serious gaze.
