The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

"I should be asking you that. You suddenly disappeared. I've been trying to get to you all day and throughout the evening to no avail."

We'll tackle this problem tomorrow, together, like we always do when there's a serious problem at hand. You are not alone in this. If you lose Ashanti as a mate, we, the subjects of this pack, will lose a great Luna and I'm not going to sit back and let
