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.

His denial is firm and heavy with conviction. It's like what I just asked would be an abominable

it serves her right, because that would be inhumane of me, but I saw this coming. I never for once saw or heard my step-mother cautioning Rhea. She let Rhea do whatever she wanted to anyone and she always took her side even if she was on the wrong. Even when it was a situation which she could not handle, she would get our father involved and he'd bail Rhea out of the situation. No words of caution would be given to her afterwards. That's why Rhea grew to be so spoiled and dumb. I guess she thought her mother's influence extended over here,
