The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

ASHANTI'S POV.

I'm smiling like an idiot as I step into the house. It's a miracle my face hasn't split into two halves. I'm so excited. My entire body feels giddy and tonight is one of those nights I know I won't be getting any sleep.

"And she finally returns." A voice startles me out of my thoughts. I roll my eyes harf when I turn and see my brother Ryan, walking towards me with a serious look on his face.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, if this guy happened to be older than I am, I would have absolutely no freedom. He has no idea how scary he can get when he wears his poke face.

"Ryan." I call, biting on my lower lip as I try to hide my smile.

"You're still awake."

"Yes, I am. It's only nine pm." He replies sternly.

"Yes, it is." I say, nodding.

"You were nowhere to be found when I came out to look for you after the competition ended. I left you text messages but you didn't reply to any. I called, but you didn't answer. Do you have any idea how scared I was? I even had to text the Lycan King to ask your whereabouts." He's frowning like an angry bear and guilt is stabbing my heart like a thousand daggers as I look at him. My bad.
