The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

REAGAN'S POV.

I did not see the smile, but I know it was there on her face when I said those last words to her. I felt it. I was able to make her smile despite my creepy moves on her this evening and that's okay for me. I can go to bed with that.

That guy Leonard, he might think he's getting somewhere with her. I have no idea where he gets the audacity to try and woo a woman he very well knows is mated to his Lycan King. I commend him for his bravery and I hope he enjoys the little time he has with her because sooner or later, I'll be back for what's mine. Before that happens, I have to settle some issues and that's exactly what I'm about to start doing right now.

"Where's Selena?" I ask the servant who just opened the door for me. I just arrived at Selena's apartment and I don't care what state she is in right now. She's going to tell me what I need to hear.

"My Lord." The servant calls, bowing her head and keeping her gaze on the ground below. "She's in her bedroom." She reports and without saying another word, I walk past her and head towards the staircase. I would have given Selena more time to settle in and be more comfortable before talking about her experience, but right now, I don't have all that time to spare. With everyday that passes, I can feel the rift between Ashanti and I widening. She's close yet so far... almost out of my reach and if I don't do something about it right now, I might lose her.

Heck, I might lose her to another man.

I'd die before letting something like that happen.

At the door, I wrap my knuckles against the door and wait for a response. When I get the signal to come in, I gently creak the door open and step into the room. I spot Selena sitting before her vanity mirror, dressed in her pajamas with her hair tied in a lose, messy pony tail. The moment, she sees me she rises to her feet with a shocked expression on her face.

She cannot believe her eyes.

"Alpha Reagan." She calls almost breathlessly, her low voice laced with surprise and confusion.

"Selena." I respond and she starts walking towards me, smiling.

"You're here."

"I am."
