THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

Chapter 0030 REAGAN’S POV. A silent sigh leaves my chest when I walk into the arena and there’s still no sign of Ashanti. She wasn’t here yesterday or the day before and I hate to say this, but I’m worried. She could have fallen ill and no one here knows about it. The training we engage in here, is quite intense and I will not be surprised that it’s taking a toll on her physical health. “Good morning, Alpha Reagan.” A chorus greeting comes through, followed by a bowing gesture from everyone in the arena. I simply nod and give a quick scan at the lot once more to confirm that Ashanti isn’t here. She isn’t. Something twists in my stomach. “I can see Ashanti has still not showed up for practice today.” I voice out my observations while making sure the look on my face is as neutral as water and the tone of my voice is stone cold. They cannot know I care about her presence or absence. in this arena. One of the guys steps forward, taking a rigid composure, both hands on his torso with his right. over the left. “No, she hasn’t, Alpha and neither has Delta Kyle.”

“I sent Kyle on a mission.” I breathe. “He will be joining us again in a few days. For Ashanti, does anyone know how why she’s absent?” Silence stretches throughout the room as they all shake their heads. My anxiety grows stronger. What the f**k could’ve happened to her? “Has anyone checked in to see what’s keeping her?” I get another series of head shakes as a responses to my question. Frustration tugs at my heartstrings. “Alpha, Sir…” Nelly steps forward. “Yes, Nelly.” “I could go over to the H a r e m quarters and search. for her. Maybe she’s occupied with other

things.” She proposes. I contemplate the idea for a split second before shaking my head. “There’s no need for you to do that. I’ll do it myself. I have some business to take care of at the Har right now anyway.” I lie smoothly. Nelly nods in understanding and steps back to join the men. I give a quick scan at their faces once more. They look convinced by my statement and they don’t seem to suspect anything. Good. “Kyle won’t be here either and that means you all will train without a leader today. This is not an opportunity for you to joke around.” I warn. “In the interim, vote for a leader who will conduct today’s training session.” Then I proceed to walk out of the arena. I can already hear their excited murmurs. This is not an opportunity for them to joke around, my a***! I’d be d a m n e d if they don’t turn today’s training session into a circus show. The drive to the H m quarters takes barely ten minutes and the moment I alight from the car, surprise overwhelms me when I see the number of girls gathered around, looking at me with wide. smiles and dreamy looks in their eyes. They all offer me a chorus greeting. Some blink seductively at me. while others point to their bodies to make me understand that they are ready for me. I don’t blame them. Lately, whenever I show up here, it means I need at girl to fulfill my or let’s say King’s sexual desires. But today is different. I’m here to check on Ashanti even though I need to try as much as I can to not make that seem very obvious. “Good morning to you, Alpha Reagan.” An elderly s e r v n t approaches me with a bright smile on her face. “You are here for the usual, I presume.” “Take me to the private lounge.” Is all I say to her. “This way, Alpha.” She leads the way inside. The girls are still gushing at me and blinking. “Oh my good, he’s so handsome!” A breathless compliment reaches my ears. A small smile flits: across my face.

“When it’ll finally be my turn to serve him, I have no idea how I’m going to contain my excitement. He’s everything I had imagined him to be!” “I always fantasize about spending the night with him. The feel of his arms around me. His lips. kissing every part…” Holy goddess! I hasten my footsteps to get far away from their carnal thoughts about me. These girls are way more dangerous than they look. We take the next bend of the hallway that leads to the elevator. My eyes keep hovering around for any sign of Ashanti. She could be engaged in any other activity around here. When we finally arrive at the private lounge, the first thing I do is take off my suit jacket and carefully drape it around the backrest of the one seat sofa before turning to look at the s e r v a n t again. She still has that weird smile going on. “So, Alpha… the girls…should I…” “That will come later.” I cut her off and take a seat. She nods. “For now, I need to know the whereabouts of Ashanti.” At the mention of the name Ashanti, her eyes brows shoot up, forming an arch of astonishment. “Ashanti? Which Ashanti?” “I don’t think there’s more than one Ashanti in this H a e m.” I cross my arms over my chest and narrow my eyes at her. She swallows dryly.

“Forgive me Alpha, I was just shocked as to why you asked after that thief.” I feel a jolt surge through my body as I train my eyes on her, frowning like a bear who woke up on the wrong side of the cave. “What do you mean by that?” My voice is low and dark. “She stole someone’s jewelry.” She takes a deep breath. “Her sister’s actually and Lisa, the head s e r v a t had her punished severely.” My blood ices over. I tear my gaze away from hers. Terror rakes its claw down my spine, but I implore myself to feel nothing, to think nothing, because if I get too worried or angry, it will reflect on my face and my plans of hiding the fact that I care aboutThis content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Ashanti will fail woefully. A long beat passes before I look at her again, my expression turns gentle despite the war that’s raging in my heart. “So where is Ashanti right now?” “Cleaning the toilets.” “Bring her to me. Right now!” “As you wish, Alpha.” I wait for the door to close behind her before I let out the heavy breath I’m holding. Why on earth will Ashanti steal her sister’s jewelry?
