THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

"I suggest you give in to her request."

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"I'm not." He takes two steps closer. "It's obvious that she's back to take her place in your life. She knows she is still your mate and you are obliged to treat her as one since you already accepted her before. She doesn't care about Ashanti or the fact that your heart beats for her. All she wants is a place in your life and she will stop at nothing to accomplish that. Now, that leads us to the questions; "what changed her mind?", "why is she just coming back now?". We all know she had a lover and they both disappeared on the same day. She claimed she was kidnapped, but she has refused to say anything that could prove that fact or make us start an investigation. She has been silent and vague about it. I have a theory that she eloped with her boyfriend. It's just a theory. A speculation. It might be true. It might be false. But what I know is that I'm starting to see where this is going and I think that if you let her stay with you, you will start to see it as well."

"I..." Start to object but he cuts me off.

"If you move her into your chambers to live with you, she will think she's slowly accomplishing her mission of getting back into your life and that little victory will get her overwhelmed and as a result, her guard will be let down. All you need to do is play her little game and you will find out what you need to know about what she's been up to these past five years."

"Kyle." I breathe. "All of that makes sense and I really want to do anything to help this investigation but..."

"I will talk to Ashanti." My pupils dilate in surprise. How did he know that was my main worry? "Yes. I know that's what's bothering you right now. You think Ashanti will be mad that you have your ex-mate living with you."

"I don't think! I know. She will misjudge the situation and warn me never to show my face to her again."

"I will explain all of this to her and she will understand. You know she will."

"Yes. She'll understand especially if it comes from you, but the idea of living with Selena irks me."

"Why does it irk you? Do you still have feelings for her?" Ronald drops a bomb. My neck nearly breaks with how fast I turn to look in his direction. "No!" I refuse with all my might.

"Are you still attracted to her? As in, would you consider having sex with her if you two were close?"

"Of course not!"

"Then that shouldn't be a problem."

"Exactly!" Kyle confirms and I glare at them as though they've lost their minds.

I hate it when they gang up against me.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Take her to your chambers. Monitor

her. Like Kyle said, it's just a matter of time before she lets her guard down and starts letting things slip out of giving you hints about what she has been up to."

"Right." I agree even though every atom in my body is against the idea.

I always dream of bringing Ashanti back to my chambers, not Selena.

This is a nightmare.

"I have to go to Ashanti. The news must have gotten to her by now and she must be worried. I need toe

assure her that everything is going to be alright."

"Don't worry about Ashanti. She's at my place with Tessa and Tessa will give her all the assurance you intend to bathe her with and even more. Just go home and prepare for Selena's move."

I tut and roll my eyes.

I absolutely hate this situation I currently find myself stuck in!
