THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

ASHANTI'S POV.

"Thank you very much, Ryan." I say to Ryan with a sweet smile as he park's in the driveway of Delta Kyle's house. I'm here to pay Tessa a surprise visit. This was an arrangement I made with Delta Kyle last night. He told me when Tessa would be home so I could come over and here I am.

"You're lucky Alpha Reagan is paying for all these services?" I chuckle lightly and start unbuckling my seatbelt.

"Why are you so cool with him, tho? You are never this friendly with any guy trying to come close to me. Not even Leonard."

"That's because none of those guys were or are your mate. Alpha Reagan is, so I have no choice. Besides, he's the Alpha King. I do not have the balls to go head on with Alpha King. Not even for you!" He explains firmly but I know that's a lie.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

The only explanation to his change of attitude is that Alpha Reagan has managed to charm his way into his heart like he always does and now I'm at their mercy.

Great!

"Yeah. Whatever." I say rolling my eyes. The door is soon opened by a guard who immediately bows down and greets me while addressing me as Luna. My head starts swelling.

I'm not their Luna.

"Just go with the flow." Ryan propose when he notices my intention to correct the guard. I take his word and respond to the guard's greeting before turning to him again.

"I'll text you when I'm done."

"Yes, Ma'am."

"See you later."

"Have fun!"

He calls out as I step out of the car. The moment the door is closed, he reverses and drives out of the premises, through the gate. I suck in a deep breath and let it out before following the guard's lead towards the main door.

I don't know why, but my heart is beating fast.

The Tessa I'm going to see now is not the same Tessa I knew two years ago. She's now wife to the

Delta of this pack, making her a well respected personality. From the way we interacted when she came to my place, I could tell nothing about her personality has changed. She's still the humble, jovial and down to earth girl I used to know, but for some reason, I still feel nervous.

Soon, I'm being ushered into the living room and I nearly trip on my tracks when I see Tessa in the sitting area. She's so focused on the TV screen that it seems she hasn't noticed she's no longer alone in the living room.

"Tess." I call without meaning to. Immediately, her head whips in my direction and I watch her pupils dilate and mouth stretch wide in shock when she

sees me.

"Oh my God! Ashanti!" She calls, jumping from her seat and rushing over to me. Before I know it, her arms are wrapping around my neck and she's crashing into my body as she hugs me. I don't hesitate to return the hug. Tears burn at the back of my eyelids as I rest my chin on her shoulder and hold her like I never want to let go.

I missed her so much!

I will never forgive myself for leaving the way I did. She of all people needed to know.

"Ash!" She calls, pulling out of the hug and looking at my face in complete surprise. She's finding it hard to believe it's me. "It's really you. What are you doing here?"

"I uh... I decided to come pay you visit since you came over to my place last time. I didn't want you to be the only one coming to see me."

"Oh Ash!" She waves a dismissive hand in the air. "You know that doesn't matter."

"It does!"

"No it doesn't! Stop arguing and come here." She takes my hand guides me to the sitting area where we both lower our butts to the couch she was occupying. "How are you? How have you been? I'm so sorry I didn't visit you again after that day, I've been so busy."
