THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE novel Chapter 408

ASHANTI’S POV.

I'm smiling like an idiot as I step into the house. It's a miracle my face hasn't split into two halves. I'm so excited. My entire body feels giddy and tonight is one of those nights I know I won't be getting any sleep.

“And she finally returns.” A voice startles me out of my thoughts. I roll my eyes harf when I turn and see my brother Ryan, walking towards me with a serious look on his face.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, if this guy happened to be older than I am, I would have absolutely no freedom. He has no idea how scary he can get when he wears his poke face.

“Ryan.” I call, biting on my lower lip as I try to hide my smile.

“You're still awake.”

“Yes, I am. It's only nine pm.” He replies sternly.

“Yes, it is.” I say, nodding.

“You were nowhere to be found when I came out to look for you after the competition ended. I left you text messages but you didn't reply to any. I called, but you didn't answer. Do you have any idea how scared I was? I even had to text the Lycan King to ask your whereabouts.” He's frowning like an angry bear and guilt is stabbing my heart like a thousand daggers as I look at him.

My bad.

What I did was wrong. Ryan cares for me and I know I should have at least sent him a text to let him know where I was and with whom.

“Ryan I'm sorry.” I apologise as I rush closer to him and take his hands in mine. I was just really downcast after everything that happened, so when Alpha Reagan showed up, I was more than eager to leave with him and get my mind off everything for the rest of the day. I'm sorry. Please don't be mad at me.”

I say pouting. He quickly pulls his hand away from my hold and creases his brows as he looks at my pouty lips. He looks very unimpressed by what I'm doing with them.
