The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate (Ashanti) novel Chapter 58

Chapter 0058
“You better get on your knees before the Beta shows up.” Lisa threatens and I fall to my knees. My entire body is shaking like I’ve touched a life wire. I have never been so scared in my life.
S**ys?
Holy goddess. Beta Ronald is going to chew me raw.
“Ma’am Lisa you have to believe me when I say I have nothing to do with this. I’ve been set up. Please.” I plead with a shaky voice, but the look on her face tells me she’s not willing to listen to anything I have to say to her.
Is she in on this plan?
Does she know I’m innocent?
Does she hate me that much to get me into this sort of trouble?
“liar! Now I know you’re not only a thief, but a w**e too. The Beta? You tried to make sexual advances at the Beta? What were you even thinking?” She fires at me. I open my mouth to talk but words fail me. My mouth moves, but no sound can be heard. There’s a thousand screams caught in my throat and I nervously touch my lips to check if they have succeeded in escaping.
They haven’t.
Just then, the door to the office is pushed open and the moment my eyes fall on Beta Ronald, I freeze.

His domineering aura breezes into the room before he follows and with each step he takes towards me, I feel like I’m seconds away from dying. My gaze drops to the floor and I intertwine my sweaty, trembling fingers.

“Is she the girl who sent the atrocious tools?” Hist familiar deep voice poses quietly. I whimper as a hot tear runs down my cheek.

“Yes Beta. She is. Her name is Ashanti and she keeps denying the fact that she didn’t bring the stuff here on purpose.” Ma’am Lisa deciphers and all I do is shake my head as more tears spill down my cheeks. A long moment of excruciating silence goes by and I almost sink into the ground when I hear my name.

“Ashanti.” He calls with a gruff voice. I shake and look up at him. Eyes watery. Face drenched with tears and turned pink. Lips trembling. Hair completely disheveled.

“Beta Ronald.” My voice is a broken whisper. I am one hundred layers of fear and terror forged into being.

“You have committed a serious offense. Making inappropriate sexual advances at a high ranking official is forbidden in this pack and you are putting yourself in a delicate spot by refusing to take responsibility for your actions and insisting you are being set up. If found guilty, your punishment will be grave. You do know that, don’t you?” He asks. dangerously. I sniffle tears and nod my head.

“I’m well aware of that, but I swear on my life, I’m not guilty.”
“Ashanti say the truth so your punishment will be less difficult. Why are you headstrong?”
“There’s no truth to be told because I didn’t do it!” I raise my voice at her, wishing I could shoot out bullets from my eyes straight into her chest so she’d drop dead and stop talking being such an old
menace.
Goodness, she’s annoying!
“You dare to raise your voice in the presence of the Beta?” Her voice has dropped at octave, filled with shock and disbelief. Mortification washes over me and I turn to look back at the Beta who has a blank expression on his face.
“I’m sorry.” I apologize with my head bowed down.
“What’s going on here?” A voice asks from the door.
That voice.
That tone.
That smell.
Alpha Reagan.
I whip my head in the direction of the door and die in that second when my eyes fall on him. His eyes. meet mine and he holds my gaze in place for several seconds with a bewildered look on his face. I panic.
This is the end.
If he finds out the reason why I’m here, he’s not going to go easy on me.

Today has been the worse day of my life!
“My Lord…” Lisa steps forward to report. My heart is in my throat. The air I breath in makes my chest burn like a fire had been lit in it. I am fighting my urge to rise to my feet and dash out of that door on my heels and only stop when I’m out of this pack, but I seriously doubt if I’ll succeed. Alpha Reagan will capture me before I’m one step close to that door.
I have to stay and meet my end.
“She brought sex items as gifts to Beta Ronald a few hours ago and now she’s denying it.” Lisa reports. I look at Alpha Reagan with pleading eyes.
The bewildered look on his face has turned into a look of confusion.
“What do you mean by that?” He walks further into the room. His gaze is now plastered on Beta Ronald who doesn’t seem to know what to make out of this whole situation. “Ronald, what is she talking about?”
“I was presented with a box a while ago and was told it was delivered by a H**m girl called Ashanti. When I opened it, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Condoms, d**s of various sizes, vibrators and every s**y you could ever imagine. They were all in that box. I was confused as to what was going on, that’s why I summoned her here to explain but now, she’s saying she had no idea those sex items were the contents of the box.”
I sniffle tears. I hiccup. I wipe my sweaty palms against the fabric of my dress.
“I really didn’t do it, Alpha. I swear I didn’t.” I beg with all my might.
“You still have the nerve to lie in the presence of the Alpha. You really have a death wish, don’t you, Ashanti?” Lisa asks in awe.
“Leave.” Alpha Reagan says, looking at Lisa. She immediately understands the command is for her and scampers out of the room. I shiver when his eyes fall on me. “Stand up.” I look up at him, confused.
“Hmmm…” I mumble, unsure if I heard him right.
Why is he telling me to stand up?
“Get on your feet, Ashanti.” I obey without any further hesitation. He turns to Beta Ronald who seems confused. “She didn’t do it.” He says.
confidently. The tears in my eyes dry off and I look in his direction.
Even Beta Ronald is confused.
“Huh?”
“She didn’t do it.” He repeats the phrase and I
almost lose my balance.
How does he know?
