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."
