The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

REAGAN'S POV.

The moment the car door is opened for me, I step out of it and stand perfectly still. Every inch of my skin is taut with tension, fraught with feeling. Pressure is building in my chest, my heart is pounding louder and faster and harder. A gust of of wind slaps me across my face as though punishing me for my actions. Sirens are spinning in my blood as I walk into the house. When I get to the living room, it takes 5 years to ascend the staircase, 15 more to walk to my room door and I'm a million years old by the time I get into the bedroom. Blood pauses in my veins when I spot Ashanti wide awake and sitting on the bed, probably waiting for me. I nearly turn on my heels and run away.

"Babe." She calls in a worried tone as she slides down from the bed and comes over to meet me. "Is everything alright? Why did Kyle call you over?" She asks with searching eyes and the concern in her voice breaks my heart into a million pieces. Without saying a word, I slip my hand around her waist and pull her closer to me. My chin rests on her head and I breathe in the scent of her hair and kiss the side of her head. With my eyes closed, I wrap my arms around her, squeezing her against my chest.

Everytime our bodies touch, it's like a burst of fire and electricity that ignites my bones in the most amazing way.

"Reagan." She calls in a small voice, looking up at my face. "Your silence is scaring me. Tell me what happened."

Alina flashes in my mind and I close my eyes and shove every image and thought of her over a cliff.
