Chapter 126
THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE
ASHANTIâS POV.
Itâs already nightfall by the time I leave the cafeteria. The girls were all really nice to me, but I kept thinking about Tessa the entire time. I need to see her, talk to her. Ask her what that was about.
When I get I to our bedroom, I see her sleeping on the bed.
âTessa.â I call calmly, as I approach the bed. She doesnât bulge. âTessa.â I call yet again when I get close to the bed. Her eyes are shut close. Sheâs fast asleep, but something tells sme she can hear me.
Tessa is not a deep sleeper.
âJust leave her be. You can always talk to her some other time.â Lena cautions within. Sheâs right. I can always talk to Tessa some other time. I give her one last look before stepping away. The time on the wall clock reads seven pm, itâs too early for me to go to bed, so Iâm going to go out for a walk. I go into our closet and pull out a pullover before heading out of the bedroom. Once Iâm out of the building, I head straight to the field where I habitually take me my evening strolls.
Today was a bad day for me and Iâm trying hard not to get a mental breakdown. I have just two friends in this Harem and I feel like Iâve lost one. I wonât be able to bear it if the same thing happens with Tessa. Sheâs my closest friend. Weâve been through so muchâ¦
My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of quiet approaching footsteps from behind. I stop walking and listen, but the footsteps have stopped as well. My brain starts ticking. A strange feeling in my gut comes to life. I take two steps forward and I hear two steps follow behind. me. Three steps, the same thing happens. I donât turn behind to see who it is or ask, I take my heels, but the people are fast enough to catch up with me and push me to the ground behind. I donât let myself fall face flat. I palm the floor and instantly turn around to see whoâs attacking me. They happen to be two masked men. One bends down and tries to grab my leg, but I kick him hard in his face, causing him to st backwards. The other comes to do the same, but I kick him ass the Pre and jump to my feet and call all of my Alpha powers which makes me run to Garters at the speed of light. Iâm sure the men are awestruck by my speed.
When I arrive at the building, Iâm met with an elderly servants whoâs shocked to see me panting and sweating profusely. I have a few bruises on my palms as a result of the fall, but theyâll heal pretty soon.
âGoodness Ashanti! Why are you in such a haggered state?â The servant asks, aghast. I swallow dryly and shake my head.
Iâm shaking my head because I know exactly who sent those guys to attack me.
Alina.
And even if I report the issue, nothing will be done.
âNothing important.â/
âAre you sure? Your palms are bleeding.â
âTheyâll heal soon. Iâm fine.â
âIf you say so.â I turn to leave.
âWait.â I stop in my tracks and turn to look at her. âAlpha Reaganâs driver is here to take you to his chambers.â The moment she finishes that statement, a familiar car parks Infront of us. Itâs the same car which always takes me to and from Alpha Reaganâs chambers.
My personal ride.
A smile spreads on my face as I step forward and open the passenger seat door. The elderly servant is looking at me as though Iâve lost my mind.
âYouâre leaving already?â
âYeah.â
âWonât you at least shower before leaving?â
âThat wonât be necessary. I will shower over there. Good night maâam.â I hope into the car and close the door.
Once Iâm settled, the drives kicks off.
I had a shitty day, but itâs going to end well anyway.
