The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate (Ashanti) novel Chapter 217

“But I have, haven't I?”

“Not immediately.”

“If I didn't, it means what I was engaged in was truly important. I always report to you as quickly as I can when you summon me. So please father, be reasonable.” I say, making sure to keep my voice as low as possible.

Challenging him like this is already a dangerous move on my end. That last thing I want is to make him feel like I'm trying to disrespect him.

“I'm listing the qualities of the kind of woman who's deserving of being your wife. The mother of the future Delta of this pack. A daughter-in-law of this family.”

“I don't consider wealth or power or influence of a family when looking for the women I'd love to spend the rest of my life with. Those things are irrelevant. Wealthy families raise brats as much as they raise well-mannered daughters. Same goes with the less privileged families. Also, Werewolves can be strong and smart and powerful.
