The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

ASHANTI'S POV

"Liar!"

"I'm not lying!"

"Why don't you have a girlfriend? No one has caught your attention yet?" I ask, smiling, and deep within me, I'm amazed.

Never did I think Ryan and I would ever get to discuss something like this. He never opens up to anyone at home. Not even our mum. He does like me! "Nope."

"Alright then, look around...maybe someone will."

"What kind of big sister encourages her kid brother to find a girlfriend in a club?"

"Look who's talking." My forehead creases as I give him a queer look. "Someone who never does things the conventional way!" He takes a chug of his drink and nods.

"Touché."

"So tell me what I need to know."

"I'm waiting for my mate." He calmly deciphers and I'm dumbstruck with awe. That's the sweetest thing I've heard in a while. I shoot him a surprised smile. "Yeah. I don't see myself being with anyone else but the one who was destined for me, so I'm waiting for her."

"That's... that's... enchanting. She's one lucky girl."

"You think?"

"I know."

"But I'm weird."
