The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

REAGAN'S POV.

"Welcome home, Alpha Reagan." Greetings pour in from the guards standing around the premises the moment I step out of the car. I reciprocate their greetings with a smile and a curt nod towards the men who return to their normal, rigid postures. Alina, who got out through the other side of the car, joins me and the satisfactory smile on her face makes me want to burst with anger.

Just like I promised, I have brought her to my chambers but I will not be spending the night with her like she thinks. I'd rather sleep with Ashanti in the dungeon cell than spend the night in the same room with Alina. I have never done so before and I never will.

My body stiffens when she slides her hand around my arm and connects her body with mine. I look down at her and flash her a perfect fake smile. The exaggerated grin on her face grates on my last nerves and only the Moon goddess knows how much I want to yank my hand out her hold and...

I ask softly, despite the anger raging in my blood. What I want to do now is seize my hand from her hold, bundle her into one of these cars and send her away to her parents' house, but I have a plan and I can't ruin it by losing my temper now. "What now?" I ask, trying to keep my voice low. She pouts her lips as if she were a child and brings her face closer to mine. From my peripheral view, I can see my guards looking stunned by
