THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

ASHANTI'S POV.

"Why on earth will she cut her wrist? Does she want to kill herself?" Alpha Reagan agitates as he paces about the outpatient ward we were ushered into when we arrived at the hospital. Selena is still in the emergency room and the man is nearly losing his mind with worry.

"Did you two fight?" I ask cautiously, making sure to stand at a safe distance away from him. I don't like dealing with this agitated version of Reagan. He stops pacing and turns to me.

"Well... I didn't raise my voice at her, neither did she at me. We just you know..." He shrugs his shoulders. "We just spoke."

"But not in the normal calm tone people use when they are having a normal conversation. You were mad about something she did to you in the past, so you confronted her. Am I right?" He sighs heavily and nods his head.

"Yes, you are."

"Do you have any idea how scary you can get when you confront someone?" I ask, giving him a critical look with my mind taking me back to all the times when I encountered a similar experience with him. The man has no idea how intimidating he can be at at times.

"What was I supposed to do, coddle her after I found out the lies she fed me when we were together?"

“No, of course not. I'm just trying to say she probably got scared and felt threatened."

"That's why she decided to attempt suicide? Suicide of all things!" He throws his hands in the air and chuckles in frustration. "Great. Just great!" He stops pacing and supports one hand on his wiats, while the other massages his forehead.

He's stressed. Very stressed.

"Hey..." I call warmly and go over to meet him. I don't know if it's the mate-bond, but I absolutely hate the fact that he's stressed up. I can feel his pain and frustration. Is tand before his talk statue and look up at his face. Without saying a word, I take the hand off his face and hold it mine, my eyes never leaving his. "I know it's hard, but I need you to be calm. Pacing about and agitating will not do you any good. Come here." Still holding his hand, I lead him to a nearby chair we both sit down.

“I'm just really baffled that she would think of doing such a thing. We didn't have a big fight. I didn't raise my voice at her. I only told her I wasn't going to go see her again until she was ready to tell me everything I needed to hear about her alleged abducted."

"I'm sure that's what got her scared. She thought she would never see you again."

"Well she should have thought of that before lying to me the way she did."

"Reagan." small sigh escapes my lips. "When the time comes for you to go see her and you go in there looking like this, she's going to try to kill herself again." He shoots me a frightened gaze. I nod. "Yes."

"Fine." He finally gives in, exhaling heavily. I'll try to calm down. But that doesn't mean I won't talk some sense into her."

"You can today.

that another day, not

did was totally uncalled for, buget anrstand that what s

give

her a break. She needs it.".

"I'll do that only because you've asked me to. I am so mad at her right now."

“And your anger is valid. But just try to stay calm." I urge, gently panting his hand that's wrapped around my left hand.

A few minutes later, a doctor comes into the ward and both rise from our seats and rush over to him in panic.

"Doctor, how's she doing?"

"She's doing okay. She didn't lose much blood so we only had to stop her from loosing more blood."

"That means she's okay, right?"

"Yes, Alpha."

I breath in relief and so does Alpha Reagan. Like I said before, don't like Selena, but that doesn't mean kwant her to die. I'm so happy She's fine now.

"Can I see her now?" Reagan asks eagerly and the doctor calmly nods his head.

"Of course. I'll lead the way." He says and starts leading way while Reagan and I follow.

I should probably stay behind and let Reagan go alone, but my curiosity won't let me do that.

I want to see Selena. The girl who was mated to Alpha Reagan before me.

I want to see her.
