THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE



He's stolen all of my heart yet he has the guts to live with another woman in his chambers...

Ashanti, now you are going off topic. Leonard's standing right before you. Focus your thoughts on him and the conversation you are having with him.

"I uh..." I stutter, pushing a few strands of hair that keep flying into my face, behind my ear. "Now that you're here, I just realised you've been absent for a while. Hope everything is okay with you."

"Oh yes. I'm perfectly okay. I just had an emergency to take care of back home, that's why lleft abruptly. But it's all good now. Thanks for asking." "Oh, it's nothing. The only thing one could notice was your absence. Your design team still aced every phase. You have some amazing designers in your team."

"You can say that again. They are awesome. By the way, I heard what Tamara did to you. That was awful." He says with a worried expression and my mood nearly turns sour thinking about what I had to go through in that bitch's hands. I swear the next time I set eyes on her, I won't stop myself from plucking hair strands from her scalp.

"Yeah..." I chuckle lightly. "Worst day of my life. Luckily she was caught and apprehended. We wouldn't want someone like her lurking around here." "Of course not.” He says firmly, almost frowning. I nod and look at the ground below because I have nothing else to say. Five seconds of silence go by like ten years. The next words that come out of his mouth make my knees grow weak.

"I've missed you." I looked up at him, startled. I nearly sprout out a pair of wings when he nods, sealing his statement.

"Oh..." Is all I manage to say.

"And I would love to catch up with you for these weeks I've been away. How about I buy you dinner tonight so we could catch up as we eat?" Immediately, Alpha Reagan comes to mind. He's going to be livid if he hears Leonard is asking me out to dinner. The thought of him going red with rage and jealousy makes me smile within.

"I'd love for you to buy me dinner, but I'm really not in the mood for going out on a formal, fancy dinner date. If we could keep it casual, I'll be good."

"We'll keep it casual then. Dress for the weather, go for a walk, enjoy the evening breeze while we eat junk food and chit chat. How does that sound?"

"I feel like I'm in high school again." I say, giggling like a child.

comfortable around him.

Leonard, you are a rare gem. Whoever you end up with will be one lucky girl.

"I take it that you like the idea. So what time works for you?"

There he goes again, considering me first.

He's simply the best.

"Six pm will do."

"I'll be at your doorstep to pick you up at six on the dot.”

And I know he will. He's very time conscious. I smile widely as I nod my head in agreement.

"I will be waiting."

"Can I walk you to your car?" He asks, showing the way to my car that's parked a few metres away. I quietly nod and he starts leading the way, but three steps later, a car pulls into the driveway and the moment a man dressed in a black suit alights from the passenger seat and goes to open the back seat door, I freeze in my tracks because I know exactly who is going to step out of that car.

Leonard, who definitely gets the memo, stops, as well and we both watch Alpha Reagan alight from the car. He has his usual poker

expression but the moment he sees Leonard standing by my side, his face turns basalt.

This is not good.
