THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

Chapter 0116 I’m gaining favor in his eyes, that’s why they all want to treat me nicely. Wow! Smart move. “That’s hilarious.” “It’s the truth.” “Ashanti.’ I swear to G o d, my name never rests. If names were portions of foods that could get finished, the mind would’ve ceased to exist by now because every ten minutes, someone calls it. “Ashanti.” The person calls my name again. I roll my eyes hard and geownin frustration before turning to see who it is. I am frowning like a hungry child, but that frown instantly disappears when I see Ma’am Lisa standing before me, smiling. SMILING. She’s smiling at me. Strange. She usually has a scowl when she approaches me. “Ma’am Lisa. Good evening Ma’am.” I call almost in a whisper. “Good evening, dear. Have you already had dinner?” I nod my head, but the fact that she just addressed me as dear makes my head swirl and that molar to molar smile she has on is not making things better. “Yes, I have ” “Good. Because Alpha Reagan is waiting outside to take you to his chambers right now.” All the hair on my body stands erect. My scalp starts itching. “What?” in a harsh whisper. Her smile almost reaches her eyes. “Yes, dear. You should go and see him now.” Someone please tell this woman to stop calling me dear. It’s giving me the creeps. “I’ll escort you outside. Come on.” She gestures for me to do the same and I obey. The entire

cafeteria is dead silent. My eyes do a quick scan of the room and something snaps within me when I see that all eyes are on me. They’ve all heard that Alpha Reagan is here to take me to his chambers. I’m dead. “You mean to tell me that the Alpha himself is waiting out there for me?” I ask once I’m on my feet. Ma’am Lisa nods and gestures me to follow her. I do just that. “It’s shocking, isn’t it?” she asks as we walk on. I calmly nod my head, confused. “Yes, it is indeed shocking.” +15 BONUS “He has never done this before. You must be very special to him.” I want to argue that point, but what difference will it make? She’s definitely just going to smile wider and call me dear again. So I simply say: “I see. “So tell me, how are you recovering? Do you like your new room over there?” I cannot believe I’m having such a constructive conversation with Ma’am Lisa. Did she just ask about my well being? Am I being delusional again? I give myself a hard pinch and flinch when pain courses through the pinches spot. This is real. I turn to her and force a smile. “I uh… I’m recovering just fine, thought I’m devastated by Hayley’s sudden death.” “Poor Hayley. May her soul rest in peace.” “May her soul rest in peace” “What about the Premium Residence? Do you like it?” “Only a fool wouldn’t. It’s everything anyone could wish for and I’m honored to be one of its residents.” We finally step outside the cafeteria. My heart soars and plummets when I perceive the familiar smell of Alpha Reagan’s cologne. My eyes locate a black h u m e r parked at the entrance of the building and as we approach it, the driver steps out and comes around to open the passenger seat door. My knees start buckling when Alpha Reagan steps out from the car in all his glory, dressed in his usual suit attire. I freeze in my tracks and bow and so does Ma’am NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Lisa. “Leave us.” He tells her and she immediately walks away. I look up and see the driver getting into the car. Now, it’s just the two of us out here. “I was hoping to have dinner with you, but it seems you’ve already had something to eat.” “I have.” “What a pity. I guess I’ll be eating alone tonight.” “I’ll keep you company.” “I like the sound of that.” He teases. I giggle. “Give me a hug.” He stretches out his arms for me and the first thing I do is look around nervously to make sure no one is watching before I turn to him and shake my head, “Are you serious?” I ask in a harsh whisper. “Out here?” “Yes, out here. Is there anything wrong with us hugging out here?” “People could see us!” I point out. His brows creased as he keeps a nonchalant attitude. “What if they do?” I sigh in frustration. I’ll be dead meat if another rumor about us spreads. “I’m going to count to five and If you’re not in my arms by the time I get to five, I’m gonna +15 BONUS eat up this distance between us and kiss you. Properly. So choose, Ahug or a kiss, in public.” “Alpha Reag…” I start to talk but he rudely cuts me off. “One!” The countdown starts. My heartbeat skyrockets. I feel my forehead get dampened with sweat. Nervousness grates nerves, making my entire body go hot. I feel like I’m on fire! Hug or kiss? Sumi
