The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

My shoulders sag in dismay and I nearly roll my eyes at her. "Good morning, Ashanti." She greets me quietly and all I offer in return is a nod. She's by many inches shorter than me, with a petite frame. She's not elderly, but doesn't look too young either and she's looking at
