The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

ASHANTI'S POV.

"Thank you Kain." I thank the driver who just opened my car seat door with a big smile on my face. We just arrived at the Castle of the Luna Crescent Pack... Alpha Reagan's lair. A strange feeling comes to life in my gut when I step out of the car, on Lunar Crescent soil and let my eyes roam around the familiar environment. It's been two years, but I remember this place all too well. The well cut lawns are in tact as always, the beautiful flowers, the clean pavements and above all, the magnificent buildings at various points of the premises.

The last time I was here, I came as a Harem girl who was obliged to serve the Lycan men with as much as her body. The girls I arrived with hated me at first sight. The only person who stood by my side was Tessa.

Speaking of Tessa... I don't know how I'm going to start apologising to her when we meet, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I'm sure she's going to understand my reason for leaving the way I did. She always understands.

"Impressive!" A voice speaks by my side. A smile forms on my face when I turn I see Ryan. I was so lost in thought that I didn't realise he had joined me.

"I know, right?"

"I can't believe you said no to all of this."

"Ryan. Please don't tell me you're taking Sheila's side now." He chuckles lightly and shakes it head.

"I'm just saying it would have been nice to have a sister who's the queen of all this... you know. Have unlimited access to this place."

"You're never cease to amaze me, Ryan." I shake my head and follow the guards who are leading the way into a hall which I know to be the banquet hall. It's the same hall we were taken taken into when we first arrived here as Harem girls. The entire premises is filled with cars and people whom I presume to be other designers who have come for the competition.

As we draw closer to the banquet hall, my heart rate increases and I feel like I'm going to faint by the time we get to the door. I'm not nervous about the competition. I'm not nervous about the numerous people I see in this hall we are walking into. I'm nervous about the fact that in a few minutes time, Alpha Reagan will come here to address us.

I'm going to see him.
