The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

REAGAN'S POV.

Ronald and the rest of the guards are trying to vacate the banquet hall. The rest of the Alpha's are chatting among themselves and I'm looking down at Alina's parents with a bitter taste of anger lining my mouth. That was a well executed set-up and proper investigation is not carried out, Ashanti could be punished for a crime she did not commit.

"Alpha Reagan." Kyle calls, walking towards me and I turn to face him. He looks very angry about the situation just like I am.

"I'm sure that servant, Lizzy, lied. I have to go have a talk with her again. Maybe she can change her words."

"Thanks Kyle, but I'd love to have that conversation with her myself after I must have seen Ashanti." I give him a gentle pat on his shoulder and slide past him.

"Are you going there right now?" He asks, catching up with me and I nod my head.

"I have to, else I'll lose my mind."

"Alpha Reagan." A voice calls, making me stop in my tracks. All five elders who had opposed my union with Ashanti during the last meeting we held, approach me with serious looks on their faces. I stare back at them, confused and wondering why they are blocking my path.

"What's the meaning of this?" I ask, looking from one face to another.

He calls and steps in front of me real close. He can already see that I'm about to lose it. "How about we just go with the flow right now? We'll do all we can to get Ashanti out of there..." "That is my mate we are talking about!" I scold, swinging my fist, but he holds them still and plants them by my side, breathing just as hard as I am and struggling to keep our gazes locked in each other's. "I know. And she's my Luna. I detest the fact that this is happening to her, but one wrong move from any of us and we'll have the entire pack against us. We can't afford to let that happen."
