The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

"I don't get why you won't just let me spend the night with you in your bedroom. We are mates, for crying out loud and this wouldn't be the first time we'd be spending the night together. Or, have you forgotten all the crazy things we used to do in the past?"

There's a cocky smile on her face as she focuses her gaze on me. I ignore her and walk over to the bed.

"Get on the bed." I calmly instruct. Her smile quickly fades and is replaced with a serious look. A ridge forms between her brows as she creases them. She's walking towards me and the moment she gets too close for my liking, I step away from her and round the bed to the other side.

"Why are you being so cold?" She asks softly, wearing her deceptively innocent look. I nearly roll my eyes at her.

"I'm exhausted, Selena. Now, I'd really appreciate it if you get on the bed so I can tuck you in. I need to go to bed early so I can wake up on time tomorrow."

"Oh..." She exclaims softly. "l… I'm sorry." A quiet sigh of relief leaves my chest when she hastily gets on the bed. Calmly, I lower myself by her side on the bed and gently pull her into my arms.

She smells very nice. I can still perceive the smell of her pheromone but it has absolutely no effect on me. In the past, holding her this close could do wonders to my body. I would get all hot and have this very feral urge to kiss her, take off her clothes and make love to her all night, but right now, I don't have any of those urges. It doesn't even feel like I'm holding a sexually active woman in my arms. I'm truly over this girl.

Everyday I pray for Kyle to find something very repulsive about her past so that I'll be sure that she's not the one the Moon goddess wants me to end up with. I really can't be with this girl.

"The feel of being in your arms has not changed. It feels the same as it did five years ago." She says, snuggling closer and I'm looking down at her blonde hair like she's crazy. "So comfortable and warm. Like heaven."

Why then did you cheat on me in the past if my arms feel like heaven?
