The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

ASHANTI'S POV.

I am speechless and completely dumbfounded as I engage in a heated eye contact with Selena who's smiling at me as though she just accomplished a mission she thought impossible.

Wow!

Just wow!

She dissapeared for five years with no word and now she's back to take her place in not only Alpha Reagan's life, but as the Luna of this pack.

Kyle deserves an award for being such an excellent judge of character. One look at her and he immediately knew something was off. Now I completely understand why this investigation is very important. "Did I shock you to the point of speechlessness?" She asks with a smirk. I chuckle lightly, nodding my head.

"Yeah. You did."

"And I intend to shock you more if you try to give me a hard time."

"What do you take Alpha Reagan for? A fool? A play thing? An idiot who you can just dissapear from his life and waltz in back anytime you wish and he'd accept you simply because you used to be his mate?" "I'm still his mate." She brags.

"And so am I?"

"Did I have water in my mouth when I said you are nothing but my replacement and that you're no longer needed since I'm back?"

"You seem to be forgetting the fact that we are actual people, not items that can be discarded and replaced at will. I have as much claim over him as you do, irrespective of the fact that you were mated to him first. If the Moon goddess was so satisfied with your bond with Alpha Reagan, she would have left him mateless all these years you were away, but she sent me and that means a lot. So step down from that high horse you're riding on because you're in no way better than I am."

The smile on her face fades. Calmly, she adjust herself on her bed, staring daggers at me with her eyes and do well to do the same to her.

I am not afraid of her.

I don't know where you've been all these years or what you've been up to and I don't care to know. What I know is that you won't have a place in Reagan's life ever again. I'll make sure of that. If you want to fight with me for him, go ahead, but I'll win. He's my man now. Your time has passed." Her face is as red as a beetroot
