The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

She knows all that talk about me staying here so I can practice more with my team members is utter crap. She knows Alpha Reagan is the only reason why I want to be here.

"Alright honey. If you say so. But remember I'm just a phone call away. Do not hesitate to call me if there's anything wrong with you. Promise me you won't keep things to yourself and struggle alone." "I promise not to do that, mum."

I mean, why would I when I have Alpha Reagan to nag?

"Good. I have to go now. Take care honey and tell your brother to pick up my calls!"

"I will mum. Good night. I love you."

"I love you more, baby." Three beeps and the line goes dead. I exhale heavily as I turn towards the staircase. My heart rate skyrockets and I jump back in fright as a small scream comes flying out of my lips when I spot Ryan standing like a statue on the staircase. "Ryan!" I call, clutching my chest with my free hand and breathing hard.

God, he scared me!

"Why would you scare me like that!"

"I didn't even do anything." He says as he starts descending the stairs and I notice he's dressed in sportswear and has a sling bag perched on his chest.

Where the hell is he going?

"Where are you going dressed like that?"

"The gym."
