The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Freshen up, get on my bed and reminisce about my day with Ashanti till dawn. I am a finished man.

Exhaling heavily, I stretch my hand forward and creak the door knob. I push the door open and step into the warm, cosy bedroom, making sure to close it behind me. My eyes go straight to my bed, the only thing my body yearns for right now and I nearly have a heart attack when I spot a naked figure lying on it.

I blink one, two, three, ten times in a single second before focusing my gaze on the figure again. I make out the face of the person.

It's Selena and she's smiling from molar to molar.

She's stark naked, lying sideways with her hand propped under her head to keep it suspended from the bed as she looks at me. I shut my eyes for a few seconds, hoping that when I blink it open again, this image before me would have disappeared and it'd be that I was seeing things, but that's not the case. When I open my eyes again, I'm met with the same scenario. Hot air blows out of my nostrils. My heart rate skyrockets. I'm trembling with rage as I take long strides over to the bed. My irrational mind is telling me to order her out of my bedroom this instant using my Alpha voice, but Kyle's advice replays in my head.

If I do that, she could figure out that I really feel nothing for her and our plans might go down the drain. No matter how angry I am right now, I have to stay calm and collected and handle this matter like the Alpha I am.

"Selena." My voice is breathy and I'm making sure to keep my eyes on her face alone. "What is the meaning of this?" She slides down from the bed like a snake and stands before me. She still has that seductive smile going on. "Do you like what you are seeing?"
