The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

ASHANTI'S POV.

"Lock the door!" The frantic old man keeps screaming at the guards and the entire banquet hall has been thrown in a state of panic and confusion. Everyone's on their feet, murmuring to each other, wanting to know what the hell is going on. My eyes flicker to the bloodstained chair once more before I turn to Alpha Reagan who doesn't look too pleased with the recent happenings.

"Reagan what's going on?" My voice is small and shaky. My lips are still trembling and I'm not sure if I'll have my heart with me in the next two seconds. It's beating too fast. Too hard. I'm so scared.

"Mr William." Alpha Reagan finally breaks his silence, calling the old man in an authoritative voice that makes him stop screaming instructions at the guards and turn to look at the Alpha, but the look he has on isn't bright at all. "What is the meaning of this? Why do you want everyone locked up in here?”

"Alpha Reagan, didn't you see what just happened? My daughter has been poisoned! Someone is trying to kill her. Either her drink or food has been spiked with some dangerous poison and no one is living this room until the culprit has been found!"

"Mr William I do understand that an unfortunate incident just took place right now..."

"This isn't just an unfortunate incident!" The man rudely cuts him off. "This is my daughter's life we are talking about here."

That statement jars in my ears like loud music.

His daughter!

Holy fuck!
