The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

ASHANTI'S POV.

"What's going on?" That's Alpha Reagan.

"We caught her trying to sneak out. She seems suspicious." One of the guards report as they throw Lizzy to her knees and she looks up with tears filled eyes.

If there's anyone who knows how that wolfsbane got into my dress, it should be her.

Maybe she's here to confess. Right now she's my only hope. These people are not going to take my word. Lizzy confessing that she planted the poison on me is my only way out of this whole mess.

"Do you have anything to say?" Alpha Reagan asks in a gentle voice and Lizzy bursts into tears as she looks up at him with both hands joined together.

"I'm sorry My Lord. I should have reported to you the moment she asked me to do it."

"What are you talking about?" Reagan asks impatiently and Lizzy sniffles tears. My legs grow weak when she looks at me and sniffles some more.

"The wolfsbane... Ashanti asked me to bring it for her. She promised to give me a lot of money if I did so. She even asked me to bring her a dress that would enable her to carry it into the hall without anyone noticing. My fault was not asking what she wanted to do with it, My Lord. If I knew about her intentions to poison Alina, I would not have accepted to bring it to her." Lizzy says in tears and I am so stunned for a moment that I can't even move.
