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.

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." He palms both my cheeks and holds my face in a tight grip, our gazes
