The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

REAGAN'S POV.

Selena was taken into the ER the moment we brought her in. The doctors are attending to her while Ronald and I are waiting in a private outpatient ward. My thoughts are scattered all over like puzzle pieces emptied of their pack onto the floor. My heart is doing backflips in my chest as I pace about the room, impatiently waiting for Kyle to arrive.

He's the only one I can talk to right now.

Ronald is here and mind you I have nothing to hide from him, but there's just a way Kyle and I connect. He's the one I always turn to when I'm backed into a corner.

Ronald has his way of dealing with shocking situations like this. He prefers to isolate himself and only speak when the tension has subsided. Kyle on the other hand tackles the problem head on and that's why always turn to him.

A few moments go by and I'm still pacing and thinking hard. All those wounds on her body. The haggard state in which we found her. I can't help but wonder what happened to her. Where has she been all this time? It's been over five years since the ambush. Five years since she disappeared.

Why is she just showing up now?

Goodness! My heart is going to explode soon.

"Alpha Reagan." My head nearly hops out of my chest with excitement at the sound of Kyle's voice. I stop pacing and turn to face him. He takes long strides over to where I'm standing, looking very worried. "I got your call and the numerous messages you sent. What's wrong?" His eyes are searching my face as he asks that question.

"You won't believe it."

"Believe what?" His voice is etched with fear and concern.

"Selena is back," Ronald announces from the other end of the room. Kyle's brows crease in confusion as he looks back at me. I nod.

"I... I don't understand. Which Selena?"

His face grows ashen, his pupils dilate, and his entire body tenses with shock. I calmly nod my head, indicating that I was just as shocked as he is right
