The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate (Ashanti) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 0085
“I’m tired Alina. Leave before I disrespect you by calling security to come drag you out of here.”
“You can’t be serious.” She tries to touch my face but I dodge by turning in the other direction. I cast her a serious glare that makes her understand that I’m truly p**d.
Slowly, quietly, she picks up her blazer from the floor and covers her body before heading out of my bedroom. In tears.
I don’t feel even an iota of guilt.

I told her from the onset. I made her understand that what we’ll have will be nothing but casual sex, but since she’s the stubborn and entitled brat she is, she went ahead and put in her emotions, thinking she could force them on me later on and force me into having something serious with her. Now’s even worse because I’ve found my mate.

Alina and I will never be a thing. Not in this life. Not in my next life. Not ever!
Sighing heavily, I lean back on the sofa and close my eyes.
I’d rather have Ashanti raid my mind all night than think for another moment about the encounter I just had with Alina.

ASHANTI’S POV.
“I would have gauged my eyes out if I had come in here and seen mashed potatoes on the menu.” I chuckle at Tessa’s words.
“Why? You don’t like mashed potatoes?”
“I abhor mashed potatoes. I’d rather starve to death than eat them.” She almost bangs her tray on the table before pulling out a seat for herself.
“Well then good for you.” I take my seat as well and dig into my food. I need to eat well and pack enough energy this morning before going for training in case Alina beats me up again in the name of having a duel with me.
“Ashanti.” A familiar voice calls my name from my left side. I look up and raise my brows in surprise when I see Hayley standing beside me with her tray of food in her hand.
“Hayley?” I ask in surprise.
“Good morning, Ashanti. Please can I sit here with you and have breakfast? The other tables are
occupied and I don’t want to sit with the other girls who will make fun of me.” She explains calmly and my eyes do a quick scan of the room.
All the tables are indeed occupied. I look back at her and nod.
“Yeah. Sure. Join us.”
“Thank you.” She sits down and greets Tessa who replies to her with a small smile.

“Did you think about what I told you last night?”
“You mean reporting Rhea’s bullying to authorities?” She asks and I nod my head.
“Yeah.”
“What? Is she being bullied as well?” That’s Tessa. I drop my fork and take in a deep breath, preparing myself to tell her what I witnessed. By the time I’m done, Tessa is shaking her head and smiling.
“I’m not even surprised. Rhea is an obnoxious brat and even if Hayley reports this issue to the elderly s e r v a ts, they won’t do sh i t about it.”
“Exactly.” Hayley confirms and my heart bleeds for her.
“But…” Tessa says, looking at me. “You are close with Delta Kyle. He kinda likes you, why don’t you tell him.” I shake my head in denial.
“This issue concerns Alina as well and we can’t
report it to Delta Kyle who is her brother. It’s going to reach Alina’s ears and she’ll make things even more miserable for Hayley.”
“Ah… yeah. That’s true. Delta Kyle is a no go area.”
“It’s okay. I’m already used to them. I can manage. Thanks for at least sympathizing with me. That’s not something I’ve ever gotten from any of the
other girls.” She smiles and I watch her eat her food in pain.
No one deserves to go through all this b u l h i t. It’s unfair.

“Ashanti.”
Oh, sweet Mother of all Werewolves!
Does my name ever rest?
I whip my head in the direction of voice, ready to snap at whoever just called, but I swallow the words the moment my eyes fall on Lisa, the elderly
s er v a n t. I drop my fork in my plate and hastily rise to my feet.
“Yes, Ma’am Lisa.”
“Prepare to spend the night with the Lycan King. He has requested your services.”
My heart falls into my abdomen, pressing on my bladder and right now I want to pee.
No, he does not!
