The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate (Ashanti) novel Chapter 33

Chapter 0033
ASHANTI’S POV.
“Alpha Reagan asked you to stop working?” Tessal asks, pausing in her tracks and turns to look at me with her eyes wide open, nostrils flaring in shock. I calmly nod my head and exhale, stopping in my tracks as well. We are on our way to the cafeteria to have dinner.
“Yeah.” I lean against the nearby wall and cross my hands over my breasts. “He said something about false incrimination and passing the verdict. I think he believes I’m innocent of the crime.”
“Wow!” She exclaims in shock. “That… that’s. amazing!” I smile and j e r k f f from the wall.
“I know, right? When he summoned me, I thought he was going to torture the living hell out of me, but he didn’t. Alpha Reagan is not too bad an Alpha after all.” I start walking again towards the
entrance to the cafeteria where I can already hear chatter from other girls inside.
“Who said he was bad in the first place?” Tessal asks, falling in line with my steps.
“Me. I used to think he was a big bad wolf. Cruel as well, but now, I think I might have been wrong.” I flash her an exaggerated smile and step into the cafeteria. Instantly, the chatters stop and every head snaps in my direction. The gazes I’m getting from the girls are not friendly as usual, but I’m

almost trembling on my spot because never have. they all looked at me at once in complete silence.
Something is wrong.
“Did you hear what happened earlier today with Ashanti?” A whisper breaks the eerie silence. The girls turn to face each other and start murmuring gossips like they always do when I show up.
“Alpha Reagan was here earlier today and he asked to see her.” Another whisper.
“I heard he uplifted her punishment and asked Ma’am Lisa to kneel in her presence and tender her an apology. Can you even imagine that?”
The second part of that statement is a lie.
Holy goddess, this is a scandal!
“Who the hell is she for Alpha Reagan to believe she’s innocent? To ask an elderly s e va n t to kneel down and apologize to her?” I feel a heated stare at the back of my neck. Their half truths keep filling my ears and I know I should turn around and leave before the worst happens, but my feet are not cooperating with my brain. They seem to be glued to the floor and I’m unmovable. I look at their faces and they cast me horrible glares as they keep spewing more lies about what happened between. the Alpha and I. The world starts spinning. My lungs are shrinking, making it impossible for air to reach my blood and in less than no time, I’m as pale as a blank A4 sheet of paper. My breaths are coming in too hard.
“STOP!” I scream the word at the top of my voice.

and the hall falls silent. The girls look at me like I’ve lost my mind, including Tessa, but I don’t care. “Stop saying things you know nothing about!” My fists are clenched by my side as I walk further into the cafeteria. They are all still shocked by my sudden outburst. “All what you girls are saying are nothing but lies. Ma’am Lisa wasn’t asked to kneel down and apologize to me. You weren’t even there!”
“And we are supposed to believe what you tell us, because?” Mockery is dripping from her statement like c**m from an ejaculating d**k. There’s an
annoying smirk on her face that makes me want to stride over to her and punch it till it’s deformed.
B**h.
“Hey…” That’s Tessa. I try to yank my hand away from her hold as she grabs me, but her grip is strong and keeps me still. “Let’s get out of here.” She starts dragging me away. She starts leading the way out of the cafeteria and I don’t resist. I’ve had enough humiliation for one night.
“Alina will be furious when she hears about this.” A voice speaks from my right side and I don’t bother to look, but she’s right. Alina will not take it lightly if she hears Alpha Reagan came to my rescue.
“Speak of the devil!”
“ASHANTI!” The sound of my name reverberates through the entire hall at high frequency causing both Tessa and I to stop in our tracks and look at who just called. All the hair on my body stands erect when I see Alina walking into the cafeteria through the other entrance with a deadly look on her face.

Flight, fright and fight response.
Fright is already in action within me so I pick flight as my second option to go with and take off towards the entrance that’s void of Alina. The girls start howling with laughter behind me and before I know it, a strong pair of hands grab the fabric of my t- shirt from behind and drag me backwards.
“Where do you think you are going?” She sneers, **g the collar of my polo t-shirt and slamming me against a nearby wall. My back hits against the hard concrete of the wall. Wrath spreads through my spine like molten lava.
“Let. Me. Go.” My voice is strained as I try to peel off her fingers from my shirt, but she’s just too strong.
“Not until you tell me what I want to hear, b**h!” She pulls me a few inches away from the wall and bangs me against it again almost immediately. Agony incapacitates me. I can’t even find my voice to scream for help. “What’s your deal with Alpha Reagan? What business do you have with him?”
“I have no business with Alpha Reagan.” My voice is strained because of the pressure of her grip on my chest. I swallow hard and my saliva burns my throat like acid.
“Don’t you dare lie to me! Why did Alpha Reagan come here specifically to see you? What happened between the two of you?”
“Nothing! Nothing happened between us. He only uplifted the punishment given to me by Ma’am Lisa

because she didn’t investigate to find out if I really stole the necklace or not!” Her grip on my shirt tightens as she locks her gaze with mine.
Red, hot rage is burning her eyes. Her hatred for me is shooting bullets into my face, but there’s something else in those emerald green eyes of hers that she’s trying to hide.
Fear.
What is she afraid of?
She finally lets go of my shirt and takes a step back.
“This is your last warning Ashanti.” She exhales heavily and her hot breath fans my face. “Stay the f**k away from Alpha Reagan, if not, I will make your life a living hell in this hare
m.”
As if my life isn’t already worse than a living hell in this place.
I give her a simple nod and s t a e r away from her overwhelming presence, pain shooting up and down my spine like bullets being sprayed from an
AK.
She’s a powerhouse of intimidation.
