The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate (Ashanti) novel Chapter 210

“Serves him right.” With the way he's fuming, if Conrad were to appear in front of him right now, he'd punch the living hell out of him. It makes me feel so good.

“My father cheated on my mother too.” I ride. He looks at me and blinks rapidly in shock. I nod my head. “Yeah, he did. Worst of all, she was his mate, but he cheated on her and that led to the birth of Rhea.”

“That was a messed up situation.”

“It was. It used to be just my mum, dad and I, but suddenly, one day, he came home with Rhea and her mum. Rhea was still a little girl. About three years old at the time. He told my mum about his infidelity and said he had to marry Rhea mum no matter what.”

“No, he didn't!”

“Yes he did and he married her. My mum was devastated. She couldn't take the heartbreak and the shame so she left. I was about four years old when that happened and I've never seen her again. Whenever I tried to ask my father about her, he would scold me and threaten to beat me up, so I stopped asking. Right now I don't even know if my mother is still alive or not.” I explain, my voice thick with melancholy. Alpha Reagan lets out a tired sigh, running his fingers through his thick hair. He looks speechless.

“Wow!” He exclaims under his breath. “Your father was cruel to your mother.”

“Yes, he was.” I try to smile. I have the urge to beg him to grant me permission to find my mother, but on a second thought, I shove the idea off a cliff. Maybe some other time, not now.

“Enough about my sad past, what about you? I heard you lost your mate. That must have been a devastating experience.” The look in his eyes turn sad. I nearly regret bringing up the topic.

“Devastated, distraught, heartbroken… there's no strong enough word to describe how I felt when she died. I felt like my world had come crushing down on me. Like there was nothing else for me in this world until y…” He stops on his words and shakes swallows dryly.

“I… I'm so sorry about that.”

I can't even imagine what it feels like to lose ones mate.
