THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE novel Chapter 244

ALINA'S POV.

FEW HOURS LATER.

Out of the eight elders in the council, only five showed up and that got me worried, but father assured me that five elders were enough to bring up a strong argument to Alpha Reagan and win. So right now, the elders, my father and I are seated in the office, about to have a very intense conversation.

Servants have come in to serve drinks and now, we are all drinking in silence and I'm praying in my heart that everything goes well, because if these elders are fiercely loyal to Alpha Reagan, then it's over.

I am brought back to earth by the sound of my father's voice.

“You all must be wondering why I called such an impromptu meeting.” He says, peering from one elder to the next.

“Indeed we are.” Elder Malcolm remarks and father calmly nods his head and places his glass on the table.

“What we are to touch a very sensitive topic.” Father looks at me. I swallow dryly. “My daughter here is pregnant and Alpha Reagan is responsible.” He announces and my heart thunders in my chest as though it's my first time hearing it, but the reaction from the elders is what gets me. Elder Malcom chokes on his drink, Elder John calmly sets his glass on the table and the other three face me with their eyes wide open.

“How is that possible? He already chose he second chance mate.”

“Exactly.” Father says, leaning forward. “Alpha Reagan already has a chosen mate, yet he slept with my daughter and got her pregnant.” The elders exchange confused looks, but father doesn't seem like he's stopping anytime soon. “You all have watched my daughter grow up. Take a look at the fine woman she has metamorphosed into. She's not only beautiful and intelligent, but she's a great warrior and above all, a Lycan. Alpha Reagan and Alina literally grew up together, yet he decided to choose an ordinary werewolf as his mate and future Luna.” He's looking at the elders intensely as he speaks and I have my fingers crossed. “All of us sitting here right now know that Alina is a better candidate for the position of Luna of this Pack. Never in the history of Lycans has an ordinary werewolf ruled over us as our Luna. I’ve called you here as a father who feels wronged and a former Delta of this pack who knows our present Alpha is about to make a big mistake by marrying an ordinary werewolf. I want us to join hands, bring up a good argument before Alpha Reagan. I want us to make him let go of that werewolf girl he has chosen to be his mate and marry my daughter, not only because he has defied her, but also because she's better suited to be Luna of this pack than that weak, pathetic werewolf.” Eerie, pin-dropping silence follows his monologue.

My heart is in my throat as I watch from one elder to the next, praying that they see reason with my father because if they don't and report this meeting to the Alpha, my family will be punished for treason.
