THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

Chapter 0034 ASHANTI’S POV. I can still feel Alina’s fingers wrapped around the fabric of my shirt, strangling me as I walk into the bedroom. With a sharp inhale and my eyes closed, I close the door behind me and the darkness behind my eyelids is a welcome relief until the memory of her face forces itself into my consciousness. Right now, it’s safe to say that Alina is my worst nightmare in this H**m. The audio tape of her voice wants to start replaying in my mind, but I smash in and throw it off a cliff and head to my bed. Sitting down, I open the dad drawer and take out the picture of my mum, and I. The framed picture Rhea destroyed a few days ago. This is the first time I’m touching it ever since. Tessa told me she had kept it in the drawer. I didn’t have the heart to see the only thing I had left of the once happy family I used to have ruined by the same person who destroyed it. Tears well up in my eyes as I trace my parent’s faces. They are both smiling from molar to molar and me, between the two of them looks like the happiest child in the world. Everytime I stare at this picture, I wonder if this smile on my father’s face was even genuine because by this time, he had already cheated on my mother with Rhea’s mother and had Rhea. +15 BONOS Chapter 0034 Did he ever truly love my mum and I? I keep asking myself that question. I try to pull myself further on the bed, but the paper slips from my hand and drops on the floor, the part with the image facing downwards. As I bend over to pick it up, my eyes catch the sight of scribbled writing at the back of the picture. My eyes brows crease in surprise as I pick it up, trying to read what’s written on it. I have never seen that there.

Minutes fly by, but I’m still unable to string the letters I see into meaningful words that will make me understand what the note is talking about. This has got to be a note to me from my mother. I instinctively hide the photo behind me when the room door opens and Tessa steps in with a worried. look on her face. “Ashanti. Are you alright?” She asks, concerned as she walks over and perches by my side on the bed. I clear my throat and smile at her. “Yeah. I’m perfect.” I lie. “I’m used to Alina’s threats by now.” I will never get used to Alina’s threats. They get darker as the days go by. “Ashanti, I think you should report this to the higher ups. It’s unfair that she gets to bully you like this and goes Scott free every time.” I snort and back away from her, giving her the Are-you-f**g +15 BONOS Chapter 0034 -kidding-me look. “Report her to the authorities?” I scoff. “Tessa you told me yourself that Alina is a member of the Royal household and that same royal household is made of the higher up officials you want me to report her to. Doing that will only land me in more problems with Alina.” “So what are you going to do? Keep getting bullied by her. Ashanti I can swear this is only going to get worse. Today she grabbed you by the chest. tomorrow she’s going to hit you.” “Well… I guess I just have to do as she says. I’ll stay away from Alpha Reagan.” She sighs. “And how do you intend to do that when you guys meet up everyday at the arena for training? When it’s obvious he has a soft spot for you. “No, he doesn’t!” I argue. She scoffs and shakes her head. LL “Keep denying it!” I let out a frustrated groan. Anyway, like you’ve said, try to stay away from Alpha Reagan in order to avoid getting bullied by Alina.” “Yes, Ma’am!” “So when do you plan on showing me what you hid behind your back when I walked in?” My browsNôvelDrama.Org content.

trip to my hairline as I stare at her, completely stunned by her sharpness. I didn’t think she saw me hiding the photo. Different lies and excuses I can tell her to brush off +15 BONOS Chapter 0034 the topic play in my mind, but I decide against doing that and take out the photo. “Oh… it’s the photo.” “Yeah, it is. And I just noticed a while ago that it had a note written behind it and I know it’s addressed to me because this was the last thing my mum gave to me when she was about leaving my dad. I’m sure she’s trying to tell me something, but the words seem impossible to read.” I stretch out. the photo to her and she takes it. She holds it closer to her face and silence stretches in the bedroom as she tries to read what’s written on it, but she finally gives up after a few tries. “You are right. It’s impossible to read.” she hands the photo back to me. A brilliant idea pops in my mind and I widen my gaze at her. “What?” “I just thought of something.” “What’s that?” “You are into research, right? How about you take this to the research center and try to see how you can extract this information. Do you think that can work?” “Well…” she looks at the scribbled words onces again and sighs heavily. “We won’t know until we try. Make sure to give it to me tomorrow morning before I leave for the centre.” “I sure will. And I’ll also find a way to call my father and try to ask him. He might know what my mother is trying to tell me.” Tessa’s face goes ashen as she Chapter 0034 shakes her head. “You can’t do that. You can’t call your dad.” “Why not?”

“Don’t you know?” “Know what?” I am blank. “It is forbidden for us, H**m girls, to try getting in contact with our relatives. Of you are caught doing so, you will be punished. Severely.” “That’s b**it!” I curse. “It sure is.” She rises from the bed. “But we have no choice but to obey the rules. I’ll shower first.” Then she dissapears into the bathroom. I stare at the impossible-to-read note in my hand. Annoyance tugs at my heartstrings. It’s forbidden for H**m girls to try getting in contact with their relatives – my a** I’m going to find a way to get in touch with my father so I can ask him about this note. I
