THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE



ASHANTI'S POV.

My heart is ticking like a time bomb as I'm being led by a guard to Alpha Reagan's office. After that very bone chilling conversation with Tamara, I made a last minute decision to come over here and thank Alpha Reagan for keeping his promise to me, but right now, I sort of regret that decision because I'm nervous as fuck.

The last time I was here was over two years ago. I was still a Harem girl and he was still hiding the fact that we were mates. I can still remember that day vividly like it happened yesterday.

“We're here.” The guard's announcement snaps me out of my thoughts as we come to halt in front of a door. I look up at the familiar door and let out a deep, quiet sigh.

One other thing that's making my guts form knots in my stomach is the fact that Alpha Reagan is completely unaware of my coming here. When I arrived and told the guards downstairs I wanted to see him, they didn't even ask any questions and brought me here...

The sound of the office door suddenly swings open with so much force, the wind it blows nearly locks me off my feet. Alpha Reagan's face comes into full view and the moment he sets his eyes on me, he freezes and blinks many times in disbelief.

"Alpha Reagan!" I call, shocked by his sudden outburst.

“Ashanti." He whispers almost lifelessly. The guard, my escort, bows to both of us and leaves us to ride on with our drama. "Why did you open the door like that?"

"Your pheromone." He says almost absentmindedly, looking left and right before focusing his gaze on me again. "I smelt it. And King told alerted me of your presence here. I wanted to deny it as I couldn't think of a single reason why you would come all the way here to see me, but he kept insisting and your pheromone... your pheromone kept messing with my head, so here I am..."

My face has turned crimson red.

I am sealing my lips shut into a thin line to stop my very smile from showing but I'm failing woefully at it.

His wolf alerted him of my presence. He could smell my pheromone. It was messing with his head.

That's exactly the effect a she-wolf should have on her mate and I've got that effect on him. My heart feels like a jar of honey has been poured into it. "Please, come inside." He steps away from the doorway and gestures to me to go in which I do, calmly, even though what I really want to do is run inside or skip inside while screaming with happiness. Excitement is bubbling in my veins and if I don't express it, it might burst out out in its own way, but I have to stay composed.

The situation at hand does not permit me to smile with this man anyhow I want.

"You're welcome to my office."

He says as we both sit on the same couch. I nod quietly.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

And miss seeing you react like this?

No way!

I clear my throat and turn to him.

"I uh..." My hands join together on my lap and my fingers starts playing with each other.

Bloody nervousness!

"I wanted it to be a surprise."

"Oh, you have surprised me alright? I'm still shaking from the shock. If I take off my shirt, you're going to see goosebumps scattered all over my arms. Never in a thousand years would I have imagined you coming here to see me." His eyes light up like an electric bulb as he speaks. He looks really excited to me and that makes my heart melt completely.

Maybe I should do this often.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

No.

If I do it often, he's going to get used to it and there'll be no goosebumps anymore.

Speaking of goosebumps.

My eyes drop to his arms and as expected, they are printed on the shirt fabric. I shamelessly ogle over them, wishing he could take off the shirt so I could see the goosebumps scattered over his skin.

And of course it's not the goosebumps I want to see. Those yummy hard pile of muscles chilling underneath that shirt... I want to see all of it. Again.

"You are such a such a whore!" Lena firmly reprimands in my head and I quickly tear my eyes off his hands and look back at his face.

"I uh... the culprit has been been discovered the organizers called a meeting today to expose her. She has been sanctioned accordingly, so I thought it wise to come and thank you for looking into the issue dike you promised."

"Well... Ronald was the mastermind, but I'll let him know you're grateful."

"Please do that. And I hope this isn't a bad time. Am I distracting you from work?"

"No. No!" He answers quickly. "Of course not. You're not!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Ash. If anything, it's work that always distracts me from spending as much time as I want with you. It's never the other way round."

My heart has flewn to the moon without me.

I nearly forgot what a sweet talker this man is.

Just then, the door creaks open and we both snap out heads in its direction. Kyle, who just walked it, pauses in his tracks when he sees us.

"Oh! Bad timing. I will just come back some other time."

"No!" I answer quickly, jumping to my feet. Alpha Reagan does the same. "It's definitely important. I'm done with what I came here to do anyway. I'll just be on my way."

attempt to take a step, but A Ret

Reagan holds me back. I turn to face him and the look I see in his eyes is not a friendly one.

"No. I'm serious." Kyle insists from the door. "All wanted to do was disturb him. Stay." He says, waving a dismissive hand in the air but I know he's lying because of the thick folder

of documents he's holding in his left hand.

"He's right." Alpha Reagan chimes in.

"Have a great time together." Kyle says and leaves the room. I turn to Alpha Reagan with a worried look on.

"Are you sure about that?"

He inches closer to me and takes my hands in his. He's holding my eyes in his as he brings both my hands up to his lips and kisses them. A kiss which shoots sparks all over my body, almost making me vibrate with excitement.

“You have no idea how happy I am to have you here, Ash. I don't care what important task I have to do today, I'm spending this day with you and you alone."

An observable blush spreads 'throughout my cheeks and I don't even try to hide my smile this time around.

"Really?"

"Yes. And I'd like us to start by having lunch together."

"Lunch." I nod. "I like the sound of that."

“Good then. Give me a few minutes to make a phonecall and get my coat."

"Sure." I take my seat once more while he goes over to his work table where he calls Kyle and asks him to reschedule all his meetings for the day and

gets his coat.

On our way to the door, his phone rings and he kills the ringer the moment he checks the caller ID.

My smile widens because the call he rejected was Selena's.

God, I'm such a bitch!
