THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE novel Chapter 339

REAGAN’S POV.

I have a mate with whom I have a connection. Her name is Ashanti. We might not be together now, but I still have a chance with her. I'm not supposed to be here, holding another girl…

Another girl who also happens to be my mate.

Fuck!

I clear my throat and gently pull Selena out of my arms, making sure to give her a bright smile when she looks at me so she doesn't feel as though I'm trying to push her away even though that's exactly what I'm doing.

“Oh… I'm sorry for crashing into you like that. I had no right to…” She starts to apologise but I quickly cut her off.

“No. No. It's fine. It's okay. You don't have to apologize for anything.”

“Okay.” She sits on her own again and starts fidgeting with her fingers.

Several moments of silence fly by. My eyes keep looking around the room while my brain searches for a topic to bring up. My body on the other hand needs air and wants me to leave, so my brain comes up with the perfect excuse to leave.

“It just occurred to me that you haven't had anything to eat since you arrived. You must be starving, am I correct?”

Relief fills every pore of my body when she nods in agreement.

“I'm starving.”

“I'll just…” I'm on my feet already. “I'll just go outside and get you something to eat. I'll be right back.” I turn to leave, but she holds my hand, stopping my move. I face her and the teary look in her eyes pierces right through my heart.

Now I feel guilty for lying to her just because I want to leave.

“Please don't go.” She begs. “I want you here with me, I'm scared.”

“There's nothing for you to be scared of. There are guards stationed at your door. You're safe. I'll be right back. I promise. Okay?”

“Okay.” She agrees in an unsure voice as she reluctantly lets go of my hand. I flash her a reassuring smile before turning on my heels again. I take quick steps out of the ward, knowing I just made a promise I'm not going to fulfill.

I have no idea when I'm going to come back here to see her.

“How's she?” Kyle, who's standing by the door, asks the minute I step out. I shake my head.

“She's in a bad place. Trauma, triggers, and all that shit.”

“Oh…”

“Yeah. Please find someone to get her something to eat. If she asks for me, just tell her something came up.” I start walking past him.

“Whoa…whoa… hold up…” One minute he's behind me and next, he's blocking my way. I stop walking and shoot him a tired look. “What's with the exasperated look on your face?”
