The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

"You've never treated me as your equal. You are always the one charge. It's always you who decides when to move forward or take a step back according to your interests. Like when you had the issue with the elders, instead of communicating with me, you silently pushed me far away from you and treated me like trash. That's not how one should treat their mate. It's true that you're the Lycan King and I'm an ordinary werewolf, but the Moon goddess chose me to be your mate and your Luna and that means I'm your equal but you've never treated me like your equal and right now, I feel inferior to you which is not right!"
