The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

ASHANTI'S POV.

"Did you see how she pushed her? She's so mean!" I hear a female voice whisper from behind.

"The poor girl apologised and even tried to wipe her clothes but look what she did. How can the Moon goddess choose such an evil girl to be our Lycan King's mate?"

"She's vicious!"

All blood dries up in my veins when I look around and see the looks of disapproval on the faces of the people watching the scene. And to make it worse, Alina opens her mouth and start yapping for lies again in a crying voice.

"I know you're upset that I'm pregnant for the Alpha, but you're the one he loves and has chosen to be with. I cannot compete with you for that. So why can't you stop attacking me and this child I'm carrying? I'm pregnant for goodness sake and this baby is innocent. Stop trying to hurt us!"

"Alina I..." I try to speak but my words catch in my throat. I look around, at the people who are now shaking their heads disapprovingly at me. "No. I didn't even push her that hard." I whip my head in Alina's direction with tear-filled eyes.

"Just evil!" Another comment enters my eyes. I am saved by the arrival of Alpha Reagan.

"What's going on here?" At the sound of his voice, everyone steps away from his path as he walks towards us. I start shaking my head at him and Alina bursts into tears.

"I want to get out of here. Please get me out of here." I start begging him and he stops in front of me, looking confused and worried.

"What's going on?"

I start shaking my head frantically as I say; "I didn't do it! I swear I didn't do anything!" He steps by my side and we both look down at Alina who's now holding her waist and crying like a child, only to get Alpha Reagan's attention.

"I know I did something wrong, but she didn't have to push me down the way she did. She tried to hurt our baby." Alina reports and Reagan looks at me. I shake my head with all my might. "No. That's not what happened. I swear I didn't..."

"Shhhh..." He hushes me. "It's okay. You don't have to explain anything to me. I believe you." My eyes snap open in surprise. He looks back at Alina who doesn't seem to believe what she just heard. "Rise up and stop causing a scene."

"I can't."
