The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

ASHANTI'S POV.

"Good day to you, my Lord Alpha." Leonard, who's still standing by my side, greets the disgruntled looking Alpha Reagan with a bow.

"Good day to you, Leonard." He replies with his deep voice laced with dark undertones. I guess he still dislikes seeing me with Leonard. He's going to lose it when I tell him about our dinner plans tonight. "Leonard, you don't have to walk me to the car anymore. I'll go with Alpha Reagan. See you tonight."

"Alright then, take care." He flashes me a warm smile that makes my heart tight with guilt.

Every time we meet to discuss, Alpha Reagan shows up from nowhere and ruins the moment.

"I will, you too." He gives me a reassuring nod and he leaves in the other direction while I walk over to Alpha Reagan who is still frowning.

What is wrong with him?

"Hi." I greet with a small wave as I take my stand before him. A dangerous look flashes in his eyes and I immediately understand that he is not pleased with my greeting.

What did he expect me to do? Lean over and plant a passionate kiss on his lips?

"Why are you here?" I ask, even though I already know the answer to that question.

"To take you home." He replies dryly.

"You didn't have to."
