THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE novel Chapter 265

REAGAN'S POV.

Ronald and the rest of the guards are trying to vacate the banquet hall. The rest of the Alpha's are chatting among themselves and I'm looking down at Alina's parents with a bitter taste of anger lining my mouth. That was a well executed set-up and proper investigation is not carried out, Ashanti could be punished for a crime she did not commit.

“Alpha Reagan.” Kyle calls, walking towards me and I turn to face him. He looks very angry about the situation just like I am.

“I'm sure that servant, Lizzy, lied. I have to go have a talk with her again. Maybe she can change her words.”

“Thanks Kyle, but I'd love to have that conversation with her myself after I must have seen Ashanti.” I give him a gentle pat on his shoulder and slide past him.

“Are you going there right now?” He asks, catching up with me and I nod my head.

“I have to, else I'll lose my mind.”

“Alpha Reagan.” A voice calls, making me stop in my tracks. All five elders who had opposed my union with Ashanti during the last meeting we held, approach me with serious looks on their faces. I stare back at them, confused and wondering why they are blocking my path.

“What's the meaning of this?” I ask, looking from one face to another.

“I'm sorry my Lord, but you can't go to see Ashanti on your own. At least two elders must accompany you.” I'm not even surprised to hear that coming from elder Malcom. I look at him long and hard. Too stunned to say anything and what I can finally manage is a chuckle.

I chuckle hard.

Laugh even and they all look at me as thought I've lost my mind.

Well, I'm going to lose it for real if they don't stop talking nonesense.

“This is a joke right?” I ask, still chuckling. “You blocking my way. You telling me I can't see Ashanti unaccompanied is a joke, right?”

“No My Lord. I'm afraid it isn't. Ashanti is being accused of a grave crime that cannot be ignored and we all know how you feel about the situation. To prevent you from making any rash decisions, we have to pay close attention to you. I'm sorry.”

“What rash decisions are you talking about?” I'm looking at him closely. I can see the fear swimming in his eyes. He's terrified to be in my presence right now, spewing all this rubbish to me, but his hatred for Ashanti gives him the courage to stay standing before me.

“Well… My Lord. We know how you feel about her being locked up. We just want to prevent any chance of you trying to get her out of the dungeon when she hasn't paid for her crimes.”
