The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate (Ashanti) novel Chapter 175

Chapter 0175
The room goes quiet again.
I look from Malcolm to John with irritation bubbling in my chest.
The just called my mate incompetent. They just told me she’s not fit to be their leader because she’s not a Lycan. That’s not something I’m going to take lightly.
After staring at them for a long time, I finally decide to talk.
“I think I might have… uh.. misunderstood the purpose of the Concordant Ritual.” I say, looking at their faces. “The H a r e m will be dissolved right away. All the girls will be sent home to their various packs and all you elders in my counsil will be punished for not properly explaining to me why the H a e m was created in the first place.” Their eyes widen in shock as horror spreads across their face.
“Alpha Reagan.” Malcom calls in disbelief. “What do you mean by that?”
I make myself more comfortable on my seat, my eyes never leaving their faces.
“What was the main purpose of the Concordant Ritual?” I ask calmly, quietly, leaning on the backrest of the soda. The two men exchange confused looks before settling their gazes on me again.
“Uh… Alpha Reagan. The main purpose of the Concordant Ritual was to pick out girls from various werewolves for our H a e m who will serve our Lycan men in any way.” Malcolm replies.
“And what was special about the Ritual this year?”
“You could choose a mate from the girls.” That’s John.
I let out a heavy sigh and intertwined my fingers, giving them hostile glares. I can already see the fear creeping on their faces. They know I’m about to disagree with what they just told me.
“I remember I was reluctant to host this Ritual in the first place, but you all insisted I should. I ended up complying because you are my elders and I have to listen to your advice if I want to be a good King. Now, the girls have arrived and I’ve taken interest in one of them like you had hoped, but here you are telling me I shouldn’t consider choosing her because she’s a werewolf and not a Lycan. What exactly do you elders want from me?” I ask, annoyed and their fear
grows.
“Alpha Reagan. I completely understand what you mean, but we simply thought it’d be better if a girl of our kind was to become our Luna. Lycan women are strong and brave. They have a good sense of leadership, unlike werewolves who are first of all inferior to us…
“One more degrading word about werewolves and I’ll chop your head up and hang it on a s i k e at the entrance to your house so your entire family can see.” My threat drains all the c aise my voice any higher, he’ll evaporate from his seat. “Look at me, both of you.” I order a nd they both drag their gazes to meet mine. “I will choose whoever I want to be my mate, Lycan or werewolf. Anyone. You will accept her, you will respect her and she will rule over all of you. You have no say in who I chose as my bride. This meeting is over.” The both shoot up from their seats and scamper out of my office like scared rodents.

I close my eyes and let out a deep breath as I lean against the sofa again.
Choose a Lycan girl my a s s!
Ashanti is their future Luna and there’s nothing any of them can do about that. Anyone who doesn’t want to be ruled by a werewolf Luna should feel free to jump into the ocean.
