THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY...

ASHANTI'S POV.

My eyes flutter open and the ceiling above comes into view. I'm in my room, lying on my bed and the rays of light peering through the little cracks of the window curtains on the other end of the room tell me it's morning. I start to panic but then I remember there's nothing for me to panic about because we've been given a one month break to prepare for the next round of the competition, which means I've got a lot of free time on my hands right now.

I look left and my heart misses a beat when I see a large pile of a man sleeping on the bed beside me, flat on his stomach and facing my direction and that's when the events of last night replay in my mind like a movie. I came back home from my evening walk with Leonard and met Alpha Reagan in the living room. We argued for a bit and then he suddenly kissed me and I liked it, so I kissed him back and we made our way into my bedroom where we had sex.

"Enjoying the view?" Alpha Reagan suddenly speaks with his eyes still closed and fear nearly makes me jump out of my skin. A small, frightened gasp escapes my lips and my hand flies over to hold my chest to prevent my heart from skipping out of it.

"Don't do that!" I cry, giving him a small smack on his bare shoulder and he starts chuckling as his eyelids flutter open and bless me with the view of his charming dark brown eyes. "Don't scare me like that again." I warn, but my tone will make no one take those words seriously.

"I'm sorry." He apologizes regardless as he sits upright on the bed. "Good morning.” He greets and pulls me into his arms, planting a soft kiss on my forehead that sends my mind into a frenzy. An observable blush starts from my neck and spreads up to my face and by the time he releases me from his hold, my face has turned a beetroot. The butterflies in my stomach have risen from their slumber and are flying all over the place.

We had sex last night.

I don't know if that will further complicate things between us or fix them, but what I know is that we had sex last night and it was magical. I loved it!

"How was your night?" He asks, concerned and I blush even harder. It takes me all my might to conjure the courage to look at him again with my red, blushing face.

"It was amazing. We did some things that I really liked."

"Really?" Surprise flashes in his eyes as he turns to face me completely. "Do you mind telling me a few of the things we did that you liked?" He asks in a small, playful voice and I burst into laughter.

I've certainly missed this goofy side of Reagan.

A lot.noveldrama

"Well..." I start to explain, but my words are cut short by a knock on the room door.

"Ashanti." Ryan's call follows and my heart drops into my stomach. Hot air rushes through my nostrils and I quickly jump down from the bed, caring less about the fact that I'm naked.

"What's wrong?" Alpha Reagan asks, confused when he sees me panicking. I rush over to the bed and take his arm and start pulling him off of the bed.

"Ryan cannot know you spent the night here. You have to hide!"

"What?" He asks, alarmed and that's when I realize the gravity of what I just said.

Am I asking the Lycan King to hide simply because my younger brother is knocking on my room door?

Yes!

And he is going to hide.

"You have to hide.” I insist and he stares at me as though I've lost my mind.

I don't blame him because I have, indeed, lost my mind.

"Why do I have to do such a ridiculous thing? It's just Ryan." Since he's not bulging from his spot, I stare at him at him with weak, sorrowful

eyes in an attempt to guilt trip him into accepting to do so, because if he doesn't, there's no way I'm

getting him to rise from that bed.

“Ashanti.” Ryan calls again from outside and I nearly lose my brain cells.

"Please. Just this once, do this for me. I'm begging you."

"You still haven't told me why I..."

"I'll tell you later. Please. I promise."

"Fine!" He grumbles in defeat as he rises from the bed and goes into my walk-in closet. I quickly pick up the dressing robe on the bed, put it on and head to the door.

"Ryan! Hi... Hello... Good morning." I

greet Ryan with an exaggerated smile the moment I open the door His brows crease in suspicion and feel his eyes look past me into the bedroom behind which he scans for a while before focusing his gaze on me again.

"And why do you look so suspicious?" He asks, giving me an intense stare and

my smile widens. All my teeth are showing as I smile at him and I know I must look very stupid right now.

I'm terrible at this.

"I don't look suspicious." I argue and he shakes his head.

"Yes, you do. Did Alpha Reagan spend the night here?" He asks, giving me a very suspicious stare and my heart migrates to my throat.

"No!' I deny quickly. "No. Of course not! Why would I let him stay the night here?" His eyes go back to the bedroom and he scans it yet again before staring at me.

He doesn't believe anything I've said to him, I can see it in his eyes. It's a good thing I asked Alpha Reagan to hide because right now Ryan looks like he would give me the scolding of my life if I told him Alpha Reagan and I spent the night together.

He would definitely ground me if he found out that we had sex.

"Alright. If you say so. I just came to tell you that breakfast is served."

"Right! Thank you. I'll be right there."

"Okay." He says and turns to walk away, but before I can close the door, he turns right back and looks at me. "Also, tell Alpha Reagan in the closet to come down

as well unless he plans to starve."

I purse my lips and sigh in defeat.

I mean, who was I kidding? Ryan is too smart for this game.

"Seriously sis? Hiding a man in your closet? What are you, fifteen? I can't even decide if it's cute or embarrassing that you were able to convince him to do such a ridiculous thing.Dcannot believe the future of our world is in your hands. You both are clowns." With that, he turns and walks away and I stand there like a pile of nonsense.

Now is a good time for the ground to open up and swallow me.
