The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

ASHANTI'S POV.

"Thank you." I mutter to the guard who just opened my car door as I step out of the car. A small sigh escapes my chest as I watch the towering building in front of me. Today is another competition and I'm here with my team to compete like the rest of the designers around here. The competition starts at twelve noon and always lasts three hours. We are only allowed to get into the hall and start preparing and organising our equipment from eleven am, so we usually have one hour to prepare before the contest starts.

"Another day to experience a spine chilling adrenaline rush." Ryan points out as he comes over to meet me. I flash him a small smile as I nod my head.

He's right.

The adrenaline rush that comes with designing and sewing outfits under such pressure is spine chilling. But I feel like I'm getting used to it.

"I pray they go easy on us today." Ryan's scoffs.

"Go easy on you?" He doesn't sound impressed by that statement. "You're competing for the greatest Fashion title in this world and you want the organisers to go easy on you? You've got to be kidding me!" "No need to take my words too seriously. That was just the future of speech."

"It had better be!" He shakes his head and starts walking away from me.

He's such a brat!

"I'm going to send you home to your parents soon." I murmur under my breath as I start heading into the banquet hall. As I walk on, I can't help but notice that almost all eyes are on me. Why's that?

What did I do this time around?

I get more alarmed when I step into the hall and the noise instantly dies down. Everyone turns their heads in my direction and a few seconds later, they go back to discussing, but in hushed tunes and on a different topic. And that topic is me.
