The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

ASHANTI'S POV.

"Tessa." I call again, shocked to the bone. It takes milliseconds for tears to well up in my eyes. I stay frozen on my spot, unable to process the thoughts and emotions swimming through me. I open my mouth to speak again, but words fail. My mind has gone completely blank and my voice is nowhere to be found.

Tessa. In my kitchen. Cooking.

This is unbelievable!

"Ashanti." She finally calls my name and starts walking towards me. My heart bursts with emotions when she pulls me into a warm sisterly hug... The same hug we used to share when we were still roommates.

I let the tears in my eyes break loose and freefall down my face. My nostrils are clogged with mucus threatening to leak down, tears have blinded my vision and I'm sobbing in her arms like an unhappy child. But these aren't tears of pain, but tears of joy.

Joy that I've met Tessa again. Joy that she doesn't seem to be upset with me. Joy that she's hugging me again despite the fact that I deserted her two years ago.

"Wow. I am so confused right now." That's Ryan. "Can someone tell me what's going on here? Do you two know each other?"

Tessa and I disengage from our hug and shoot him furious glares.

"Isn't it obvious?" I ask, irritated.
