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.

"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."

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
