THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE novel Chapter 396

ASHANTI'S POV.

I am speechless and completely dumbfounded as I engage in a heated eye contact with Selena who's smiling at me as though she just accomplished a mission she thought impossible.

Wow!

Just wow!

She dissapeared for five years with no word and now she's back to take her place in not only Alpha Reagan's life, but as the Luna of this pack.

Kyle deserves an award for being such an excellent judge of character. One look at her and he immediately knew something was off. Now I completely understand why this investigation is very important.

“Did I shock you to the point of speechlessness?” She asks with a smirk. I chuckle lightly, nodding my head.

“Yeah. You did.”

“And I intend to shock you more if you try to give me a hard time.”

“What do you take Alpha Reagan for? A fool? A play thing? An idiot who you can just dissapear from his life and waltz in back anytime you wish and he'd accept you simply because you used to be his mate?”

“I'm still his mate.” She brags.

“And so am I?”

“Did I have water in my mouth when I said you are nothing but my replacement and that you're no longer needed since I'm back?”

“You seem to be forgetting the fact that we are actual people, not items that can be discarded and replaced at will. I have as much claim over him as you do, irrespective of the fact that you were mated to him first. If the Moon goddess was so satisfied with your bond with Alpha Reagan, she would have left him mateless all these years you were away, but she sent me and that means a lot. So step down from that high horse you're riding on because you're in no way better than I am.”

The smile on her face fades. Calmly, she adjust herself on her bed, staring daggers at me with her eyes and do well to do the same to her.

I am not afraid of her.

If I could handle Alina, then she's a piece of cake!

“Are you really sure you want to do this with me?”

“I should be the one asking you that question.” I take two steps forward. “Are you sure you want to do this with me?” She chuckles lightly, looking away from me.

I'm loving every bit of this our little verbal altercation. It's been a while since I had some adrenaline rush. It's good for my health.

“Alright then.” She says flicking her gaze in my direction again. “Since you want to play this game with me, let's begin.”

“When I first heard about your return, I won't lie to you that I wasn't heartbroken. It was the worst news I had heard in a while, but then I thought maybe it's for the best. You have no idea the kind of relationship Alpha Reagan had…”

“And I don't care to know…”

“I'm not done talking, so be quiet!” I warn sternly and she's taken aback by my sudden authoritative tone. Her eyes pop wide open in shock. I nod at her. “My relationship with Reagan was a rocky one. He hurt me in the past and I was willing to overlook my love for him and forget about him for that. I was willing to let you have him since you were here first, but now that I've gotten to know the bitch that you are, I won't be doing that anymore. Reagan has his flaws. He’s insufferable sometimes, but he's a good man. He's a good King and he doesn't deserve to end up with a cheap schemer like you. I don't know where you've been all these years or what you've been up to and I don't care to know. What I know is that you won't have a place in Reagan's life ever again. I'll make sure of that. If you want to fight with me for him, go ahead, but I'll win. He's my man now. Your time has passed.” Her face is as red as a beetroot by the time I'm done talking and she looks like she's going to explode from anger anytime soon.

She cannot believe what she just heard.

“You are some tough bitch.”

“Yeah. I'm happy you understand that fact. You are up against a tough bitch, so buckle up!” I wink an eyebrow at her and turn on my heels.

My work here is done.

I'm about to take a step towards the door when it opens up and Reagan walks in. The frown on his face quickly disappears the moment he sees me and that makes my heart skip a beat.
