THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

Chapter 0411

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-THREE.

REAGAN'S POV.

“Selena.” I shriek, unable to fathom the fact that she's standing before me right now. She has that pitiful look she used to bind me in her bonds in the past with and she's staring at me as though she wants to burst into tears.

"Alpha Reagan." She responds in a low, shaky voice. "I'm very sorry for showing up here like this, unannounced. You are probably tired from work and you need to rest. I hate to interrupt that, but the issue that brought me here is very severe." She explains in the most sorry tone I've ever heard in my life. I squint my eyelids and crease my brows as I shoot her a confused look.

"What severe issue could that be?"

"I can't fall asleep."

"Huh?"

“l… I've tried several times, but I can't bring myself to fall asleep in that bedroom all by myself because everything feels very strange.”

"What do you mean you can't fall asleep because everything feels strange? You've lived in this Castle before, Selena."

"But I didn't have to sleep all alone in a massive bedroom. We used to share a bedroom and you made sure to tuck me in and cuddle me every night before I went to bed, that's why I never got scared in the beginning." She argues firmly and I let out a heavy sigh of exasperation.

This girl will be the end of me pretty soon.

She's trying to guilt trip me into letting her come into this bedroom and spend the night with me.

"If it won't be too much trouble, can I please spend the night in there with you?" She says, pointing into the bedroom and I turn to look behind to make sure it's my bedroom she's referring to.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

It actually is.

I quickly whip my head back in her direction and shake my head in denial.

"No, you can't."

"Please, it's going to be just for tonight. I'm sure if I sleep with you tonight, I'll get used to the environment and I won't need to bother you anymore tomorrow. Please." She calmly explains, but I still shake my head in denial.

First, I don't want to spend the night with her. Who knows what temptations she'll throw my way until I give in and do the one thing I know I'll regret and resent myself for if I dare do it now.

Second, I know she's lying when she says it'll be just for today. If I let this girl get into this bedroom and spend the night with me, she's going to come again tomorrow and the next tomorrow with different excuses. I cannot risk it.

And finally, Ashanti is the only

woman I have ever spent the night with in here and I want it to stay that way. This room holds our happiest and saddest memories together. It's like Our

sacred temple and I do not

want to defy it by bringing any other woman into it, let alone my ex.

The thought of betraying Ashanti like that sends chills down my spine.

I could never!

Calmly, I step out of the room and close the door behind me. I can see the expression on Selena's face go from expectant to confused. She must be wondering why I'm stepping out of the room instead.

Looking down at her, I.1

want to teffher that no excuse she gives me would make me let her spend the night with me in that bedroom, instead I say;

“Let's go back to your bedroom. I'll tuck you in so you can fall asleep."

Her eyes widen in shock.

"You… you want us to go to my bedroom instead?"

"Yes."

"But…"

“Come on." I cut her off and walk past her, leading the way back to her bedroom which is located at the other wing of the floor.

My initial plan was to let her stay on the floor above, but Kyle advised I let her stay on the same floor with me so she doesn't feel like I'm trying to distance myself from her.

Even now, I'm only going to tuck her in because don't want to seem too obvious that I don't want to have anything to do with her. Kyle said to keep draw closer to me so she can let her guard down and let

something slip. That's eve

I'm

trying to do.
