THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE novel Chapter 218

ASHANTI'S POV.

My eyes flicker open and I expect the sight of a sunlit bedroom to come into view, but I'm shocked to see a dimly lit bedroom with its window curtains drawn shut. It's nightfall already and that means I've been napping for a very long time.

Touring around the entire pack Tessa today left me stupid tired and I fell on the bed the moment I got home. I'm still in the outfit I was wearing when I got back.

My eyes daintily roam about every corner of the bedroom and I stop when something crosses my mind.

Alpha Reagan.

It's nightfall. He should be at home…

My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of footsteps coming from the closet room and soon, his masculine frame comes into view at the door. My lips curve into a smile that spreads to every corner of my face. My heart starts somersaulting in my chest.

He's here.

My man is here.

“Hey baby.” His feathery voice tingles on my skin like phantom caresses and I’m smiling like an idiot by the time he gets to the bed and perches by my side.

“Hey.” My own voice is far from feathery. It’s croaked and sleepy and surely leaves bruises on his skin, but he doesn't seem to mind. He leans closer and joins our lips in a brief passionate kiss that leaves me wanting more.

He smells like soap and mint and Reagan.

He just showered.

When he looks at me again, I'm blushing from head to toe and I don't know what to do with myself.

“You're awake.”

“Yes. I am.” I say nodding. “Has it been long since you came home?”

“An hour or so.” He says, shaking his head from side to side and curving his lips in a manner that shows his uncertainty.

“Why didn't you wake me up?”
