The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate (Ashanti) novel Chapter 212

“Alpha Reagan asked me to move in with me.” I announce grimly and her eyebrows shoot to the ceiling as she gives me a surprised look.

“Did he?” She asks eagerly.

“Yes.”

“And why don't you look happy? That's great news! If he wants you to move in with him it means he's serious about your relationship. Ashanti! Do you know what this means?” She's almost screaming as she asks that question. I shake my head.

“Not really.”

“That man has chosen you to be his second chance mate. He's going to marry you. You are going to be the next Luna of this pack! Damn!” The back of my neck heats as she spits those facts at my face.

I know that and I'm happy. I truly am.

“Why the look on your face? You should be rejoicing.”

I nervously scratch the back of my neck. This is not how I expected her to react to the news of me leaving her here to move in with Alpha Reagan. This further proves that Tessa always has my best interest at heart.

“Tessa. I know that and I'm happy, trust me. But me moving in with Alpha Reagan means leaving you behind. You'll have to live here all by yourself. I'm worried you might be lonely.”

Now it’s her time to blush.

Her face suddenly goes red and she shyly tucks a few strands of loose hair behind her ears.

“What's with the sudden shy actions?” I’m a bit confused because Tessa never acts this way. In fact I’ve never seen her shy about anything. If she is now, it means it’s something very serious.

“There's something you need to know.” She says in a small voice and I can't help but smile.

“That look you have on makes me understand it's good news.”

“Oh, it's good news, okay. Very good news.”

“Please spill already. I'm getting impatient.”

“I found my mate.” A small giggle follows that statement. I pause and stare at her in catatonic stupor. My mouth gapes and I'm uncertain whether to breathe or scream.

She found her mate.

Now, that's news of the century!

“Tessa!” I call in a silent scream, my body shaking with excitement for her. I scoot closer and pull her into my embrace, giving her a congratulatory hug. “That's awesome. That's brilliant. I could faint on your behalf right now.” Tears well up in my eyes. When we break the hug and look at each other again, I notice the tears shimmering in her own eyes. “Congratulations! Words cannot describe how happy I am for you.”

“Thank you.” Her voice is a shaky thing.

“Who's he? Do I know him?”

“All too well.”

My forehead wrinkles in surprise.
