The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate (Ashanti) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 0164
KYLE’S POV.
“My relationship with Ashanti is nothing of that sort.”
If Alpha Reagan wasn’t my King, I would have given him a hard punch in the face the moment he finished spewing those words from his mouth. Those are words that will shatter Ashanti’s heart into pieces if they were to reach her hearing.
Most of the rumours going around concerning their relationship are nasty. They refer to her as a bedroom freak. A sex machine. That’s why he calls her to his chambers for two weeks consecutively without taking a break. Whenever I overhear people talking about the issue, I have to think of something else so I don’t imagine the scenario. He has access to her body anytime and anyhow he wants. He shows her affection In public. He takes her out. He treats her better than the other H a e m girls. He has made her fall in love with him and I can bet my life that he has feelings for her as well.
Very strong feelings.
What I don’t understand is why he doesn’t want to accept those feelings. Accept Ashanti and do the right thing.
I’m tempted to say he doesn’t want to claim her because she’s an ordinary werewolf, but that’s not the kind of man Alpha Reagan is. He’s the Lycan King, but he doesn’t think lowly of werewolves. There must be another reason why he’s hesitant on accepting Ashanti.
“Kyle.” A call from outside my bedroom interrupts my thoughts, I sit upright on the couch I’m laying on and turn down the volume of the TV to listen again.
The only person I live with is my nanny and she never calls me by my name. So I definitely have a late night guest.
“Kyle, I’m coming in.” The voice speaks again and groan in annoyance when I recognize it.
Alina.
My room door creaks open and as she steps into my bedroom, I rise to my feet.
“What? Do you want to chase me away?” She asks in surprise.
“I’m very much tempted to do that right now. You’re not supposed to be here. It’s late.”
“Oh, please.” She waves a dismissing hand in the air and proceeds to walk towards me. “I can come here anytime I want and I already ordered the old maid to prepare my bedroom because I’ll be staying the night.” She says carelessly and my face contorts with rage. I take a step forward.
“She’s not an old maid, she’s my nanny! She raised me!” I sneer and head to my nightstand where I pick up my cell phone and dial a number. The phone I’m trying to call is picked on the third ring. “Hello Nan… stop whatever preparation you’ve been instructed by Alina to carryout
I know, but the bedroom is clean. If she wants it cleaned again before she sleps in it, she can have it cleaned herself. You go to bed. It’s late I mean it, Nan… Yes. Goodnight.” I end the call and turn to face Alina who’s giving me the “Are-you-f**g-kidding-me” look

“Seriously?”
“Yes. Seriously. My Nan is not your e v a ! I’ve made this point clear to you a billion times already.”
“Yeah, yeah, whatever. I’m not here to fight with you over a mere nanny.” She takes several steps towards me and stops barely a few meters away.
We are too close for my liking.
“Why are you here?”
“I heard about the meeting that was held between the council of elders and the three main leaders of the pack.” Her eyes are boring deep into my face as she speaks.
“That’s no news.”
“I also heard they tried to find out from Alpha Reagan if Ashanti was the one he had chosen to be his second chance mate, but he didn’t give any response.”
“I still don’t understand why you’re telling me things I already know.”
“Don’t you see?” She takes one step forward, her eyes glowing with hope as a smile creeps on her face. A dirty idea has popped in her mind again.
“See what?”
“It’s true that he invites her to his chambers every night and he treats her special, but the fact that he couldn’t give the elders a response means something. It means he’s not sure about her.”
“His silence could mean anything, Alina!”
“Which is good. That’s evidence of the fact that he’s unsure how he feels about Ashnati. He’s doubt and this is unsure if he wants to choose her as his second chance mate or not. He’s in the perfect moment for us to sway his feelings. When he’s doubting himself.”

“What do you mean sway his feelings?” My brows crease as I ask that question. Her gaze drops to the floor and she heaves out a heavy sigh before locking her eyes with mine again.
“Kyle. My dear brother. You couldn’t be so blind and dense, could you?”
“Talk or get out!”
“What I’m trying to say is that I’ll talk to the elders.” I scoff in derision.
“Talk to the elders?”
“Yes. I’ll try to make them see reasons why they cannot accept Ashanti as the Luna of this pack even if Alpha Reagan chooses her. You said I could fight to get the man of my dreams as long as I’m not harming Ashnati in any way. That’s exactly what I’m trying to do. Talking to the elders, turning them against her won’t put her in harm’s way. It’s just me applying wisdom and power. Something she greatly lacks. And you must help me.”
“That’s not going to happen.”
“Kyle!…” She closes the gap between us and wraps both palms around my arms, holding them in a firm grip. “Please. You have to help me. You have to talk to the elders as well. Your words as the Delta of the pack will carry more weight. If you tell them Ashanti is a weak, low life werewolf who doesn’t deserve to rule over the Lycans, they will listen to you. Please, help me out with this!” She says, shaking me hard. I jerk her hands from my arms and take several steps back, shaking my head.
“I said no! Nothing of that sort is going to happen. Ashanti is not weak. You know that. Lately you’ve been unable to defeat her in duels. It’s just a matter of time before she beats. you in that combat circle. And saying she’s a low life?” I chuckle and shake my head. “You’re wrong. In case you forgot, let me remind you that Ashanti’s father is the Alpha of her pack and she’s his first born daughter. That makes an Alpha heir. She has Alpha blood running through her veins and there’s no weak Alpha out there. If you want to tell lies to the elders, go ahead and do so yourself. Stop trying to drag me into your mess.”
“Do you ven love her at all?” Her voice is a shaky mess. She has both fist curled by her side. Anger and indignation are burning in her eyes like a bushfire. She’s i s e d.
Thoroughly p i s s d.
I nod my head.
“I do.”
“Then how come you don’t see this as a chance to h her from Alpha Reagan?”
“Because I don’t want to. They both love each other, so let them be with each other.”
“Stop talking like an idiot Kyle!” She explodes like an erupting volcano. “This is your chance, you m o o n! If we work together and succeed, we’ll both get what we want.”
“You have no idea what I want.” I tell her as calmly as I can. Her chest is rising and falling heavily as she takes in short deep, heavily breathes.

“I went to his office a few days ago to see him. We had a big fight and in the middle of that fight, I kissed him. I thought he’d ask me to stop and throw me out, but he didn’t. He kissed me ferociously, then he bent me over his office table and f u k d me hard!” I swallow dryly upon hearing that. “He still loves me, Kyle. He wouldn’t have f c k d me if he didn’t have feelings for me. I will never give up on him because I know he needs me.”
“You’re delusional!”
“Maybe I am. Maybe I’m not. But one thing for sure is that I won’t forget your words when I become Luna of this pack. I’ll talk to the elders. I’ll do the convincing myself and once I succeed, once I become Queen of the Lycans, I’ll make sure you regret not helping me out.” She says bitterly and I bow to her in mockery.
“All hail the future Queen of the Lycans. I hope you show me no mercy when the time comes.
“Just you wait and say.” She storms out of my bedroom, slamming the door hard behind her. I head back to the sitting area and slum on the sofa.
I can’t wait to see the look on her face when she fails.-
