The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

"Tell me what's going on down there, Charlotte."

"It's Alina."

At the mention of the name Alina, the fluttering sensation in my stomach makes me angsty.

"What about her?" I ask in a harsh whisper, throwing a scared look at Ashanti to make sure she's not awake.

"She just showed up out of nowhere and now she's in the kitchen, ordering the cooks to make her something to eat." She explains in an agitated tone. Being struck by a lightning bolt would less shocking than what I just heard her say right now.

"What the fuck!" I jump down from the bed. "I'm on my way." I put the phone back on the receiver and shoot Ashanti one last glance before putting on my indoor sliders and rushing out of the bedroom.

In just a matter of seconds, I'm in the kitchen, panting like a dog and behold, there's Alina giving instructions to my chef who looks just as terrified as I am about the situation. "What's going on here?" I ask, breathing hard and Alina whips her head in my direction to see who just spoke. When her eyes fall on me, a bright smile spreads on her face.

"Hey... good morning." She greets cheerfully as she comes over to meet me. Her presence in this house has my heart threatening to beat itself out of my chest.

"Leave us." I tell the chefs who all exit the kitchen, including Charlotte and soon, it's just Alina and I in the kitchen. Without warning, I grab her by the arm and pull her out of the kitchen, all the way to the living

room.
