THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE novel Chapter 303

REAGAN’S POV.

“Are you sure?” I ask anyway and he calmly nods his head.

“Yes, I assure you that I'm perfectly okay. Now… how about you go to the back seat so I can drive you to your office. The elders should be waiting for you by now.”

Ah. Yes. The elders.

The meeting is to be held today.

The meeting where I'll dissolve the council and probably start another war in the pack.

“I'm riding shotgun today.”

“Oh no…” He's fervently shaking his head as though I proposed to drive. “No way! That's not going to happen!”

“I'd like to see you try to uproot me from this front seat and plant my ass back there.” I adjust on the seat and stare right ahead, keeping a very straight face.

“It's not safe.”

“According to you, is there anything that's ever safe for me?” I give him a side eye that makes him sigh in exasperation.

“I just… I…” He stutters, frustration written in bold on his forehead as he looks left around as though he expects to find something to say hanging on the dark car windows. “Oh, fuck it!” He finally gives up, nearly hitting the life out of the poor steering wheel. “Sit whenever you want!”

“I was still going to do that even without your approval, Kyle.”

“Of course you were!” He murmurs in defeat as he ignites the car engine. As he drives away, I give one last quick glance at the execution arena that grows smaller as the goes car farther from in.

It's finally over!

***********************************************

Our meaningless banter continues throughout the ride to my office. When I arrive at the conference room, the eight elders are seated around the conference table, patiently waiting for me to arrive. Ronald is already waiting as well. After the formal greetings and pleasantries, I take my seat and so do the others.

The next five minutes go by with me staring intensely at the eight elders as I search my mind and soul, trying to see if I can find a good reason to change my mind about dissolving this council, but I see none.
