The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

REAGAN'S POV.

"Your father disowned you?" I ask in horror after listening to Kyle narrate to me how the introduction went. He simply smiles as he nods his head. He doesn't look the least worried.

"This is not the first time he's saying those words to me, so I'm used to them. However, I could tell from the look in his eyes that he really meant them this time around. I guess I struck his very last nerve." He explains blithely and I can't help but stare at him in awe.

"Kyle." I call in shock. "Your father just disowned you, how come you're so chill about it?"

"Well..." He breathes heavily and chuckles. "You know how the elders in your council always do nothing but criticise every major decision you take for the pack or your personal life?"

"Yeah."

"That's exactly what I went through in my father's hands. Most times I wondered if he even loved me at all because he was always darning everything I did. I cannot remember the last time my father gave me a compliment or congratulated me after I achieved something. He always found something to complain about. Some irrelevant mistake to point out and invalidate the good thing I've achieved. He wanted to control my life, but I made him understand that wasn't going to work so he got mad and decided to be a shitty father to me. That's why him disowning me doesn't hurt, Reagan." Deep sigh "I've considered myself fatherless since the day your father, the former Alpha died because he's the only one who ever treated me like a son. My father treated me only like a successor that had to live up to his name and his reputation and I hated him for that. I still do."

Now I'm totally speechless. I'm at a loss for words. I don't even know what to say to him. He's been through so much in the hands of his father I feel like shit for only finding out about it now. No wonder he's always been so out of touch with his family. They gave him a terrible childhood and I'm sure that's the reason why Alina's death did not affect him too much.

Poor Kyle.

"Wow!" I manage. "I... I don't even know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything. I just wanted to make you understand the reason why I'm not attached to my family so you don't think I'm a monster for not feeling remorseful about all that's going on with them. I tried to warn them, but because I'm an outcast, they didn't listen and now, here they are. I love how just the moon goddess is. She punishes everyone accordingly, at the right time." "Yes..." I say, nodding my head. "Yes she does."
