The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate (Ashanti) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 0087
Serves. You. Right.
Smiling like an idiot, I check my shoelace to make sure they are well tied before rising up. I pull out the rubber band on my left wrist and bundle up my hair to tie it up, but a hand stops me by taking out the hair from my hands.
“Let me help you.” A deep, baritone voice speaks from behind. I turn around abruptly to see who it is and die in the second when my eyes land on Alpha Reagan.
“Alpha Reagan.” I call in pure shock.
“Now that you know it’s me, can you turn around and give me the rubber band so I can get this done. I don’t have all day.’
“You… you want to help me tie my hair?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“But… b…but…” I stutter like an idiot, pointing at Alina who looks like she’s going to explode anytime soon because of how hard she’s fuming. “But you just refused to help Alina turn up her hair.”
“So?”
“So…”
“Ashanti. Turn around. Now!”
That’s a serious order. I obey despite the
xylophones that are playing on my knees. I am
weak and pale and lifeless as I hand him the rubber hand. My heart is threatening to crash out of my chest. I’m breathing out hot air through my nostrils. All my nerves are in complete disarray in my head and my body as a whole.
I am unstable.
It takes him less than no time to tie the hair.
“All done.” I turn around at the speed of light to face him. I want to say thank you, but I can’t. I can’t because my mind is in chaos and I cannot string letters together to make out meaning words, talk less of sentences. “I like your hair better when it’s down. Why don’t you let it down during training?” His voice is so calm, so sweet, I have to blink many times to make sure this is not happening in my head. “Ashanti.”
“Alpha Reagan.”
He’s standing right Infront of me. I touch my hair, it’s tied up in a ponytail. This is not my
imagination. This is real
“I asked you a question.m”
Yes… a question.
I swallow dryly and clear my throat.
“I… I can’t leave my hair loose during training because it’s going to be all over the place. It’s going to… uh… disturb my movements and all.”
“I see.” My eyes look ahead and spot Alina. Her face has gone dark with rage. Her brother offers to tie up her hair, but she declines and does it herself and her

gaze does not leave mine throughout the process.
She’s going to kill me today.
“It’s time for jogging. Join the others.”
“Yes Alpha.” I stay planted to my spot as he walks
away.
What just happened?
Alpha Reagan declined Alina’s request to tie up her hair, just to come and tie mine when I didn’t even ask. Is he trying to get me killed?
Why would he even do a thing like that?
Throughout the jogging session, I make sure to stay at least one mile radius away from Alina, but that doesn’t help the tension she creates between us by looking at me like she wants to eat me raw.
After warming up, the next three hours go by with us learning new combat techniques from both the Alpha Delta. I still do my best to stay as far as I can from Alina.
When it’s time for duels, the Alpha and Delta have the first duel of the day, followed by other soldiers. My mouth hangs open when Alina proposes a duel with Alpha Reagan.
As they fight, I notice he doesn’t go easy on her like he does with me. He fights with her like he fights with his fellow Lycan Soldiers and watching Alina take him on sends chills down my spine.
Goodness, she is powerful! I need to undergo years and years of training before I’ll ever be able to defeat her in a duel.
Alpha Reagan wins all ten rounds as usual and as they step out of the circle, Alina is panting like someone who’s going to drop dead anytime soon. I almost p** my pants when she points in my direction.
“Her.”
I look left and right and even behind me to see if she’s referring to someone else, but I’m the only girl standing in the direction she’s pointing at.
“Ashanti.” She calls my name breathlessly. “I want to have a duel with her.”
A thousand sparks shoot up my spine when those words hit my ears.
She what?
