The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

"I suggest you give in to her request."

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"I'm not." He takes two steps closer. "It's obvious that she's back to take her place in your life. She knows she is still your mate and you are obliged to treat her as one since you already accepted her before. She doesn't care about Ashanti or the fact that your heart beats for her. All she wants is a place in your life and she will stop at nothing to accomplish that. Now, that leads us to the questions; "what changed her mind?", "why is she just coming back now?". We all know she had a lover and they both disappeared on the same day. She claimed she was kidnapped, but she has refused to say anything that could prove that fact or make us start an investigation. She has been silent and vague about it. I have a theory that she eloped with her boyfriend. It's just a theory. A speculation. It might be true. It might be false. But what I know is that I'm starting to see where this is going and I think that if you let her stay with you, you will start to see it as well."

"I..." Start to object but he cuts me off.

"If you move her into your chambers to live with you, she will think she's slowly accomplishing her mission of getting back into your life and that little victory will get her overwhelmed and as a result, her guard will be let down. All you need to do is play her little game and you will find out what you need to know about what she's been up to these past five years."

"Kyle." I breathe. "All of that makes sense and I really want to do anything to help this investigation but..."

"I will talk to Ashanti." My pupils dilate in surprise. How did he know that was my main worry? "Yes. I know that's what's bothering you right now. You think Ashanti will be mad that you have your ex-mate living with you."

"I don't think! I know. She will misjudge the situation and warn me never to show my face to her again."
