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.

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
