THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

REAGAN’S POV

“Alpha Reagan…” Kyle calls as he steps in front of the guys who are still on their feet. “This is Caleb…” He points to the dark haired guy. “And this is Alain.” The Brown haired guy is introduced next. “Tessa was able to get their names out of Rhea and you're going to love what they have to say.”

“Wait…” I turn to Tessa, surprised as hell. “You've already had a talk with Rhea in Prison?” I ask, shocked and a proud smile forms on her beautiful face.

“I knew I wasn't going to get any sleep tonight if I didn't get this done with.”

Everyone needs a Tessa in their life!

“Impressive!” I compliment her.

This what I call friendship.

I turn to Kyle who looks very proud of his mate.

“So, what is it that they have to say to me.”

“I prefer you hear it from their mouths.” He looks at Caleb who seems to terrified to be in here with us. “Caleb, why don't you go first?” He asks and Caleb nods his head and meets my gaze.

“Alpha Reagan…” He calls quietly, his voice is laced with webs of nervousness. “I'm a computer engineer and I'm one of the main engineers in charge of monitoring the Castle’s footages. Alina has, on several occasions, asked me to locate and delete multiple footages of her making plans with girls to do terrible things to people. These footages sometimes include her actively involved in the crimes. Sometimes she'll threaten me if I don't agree to do as she says. She once abducted my

pregnant mate, locked her up and made her go hungry and thirsty for many days simply because I refused to do what she ordered me to do. Since then, I've been terrified of her, especially since she comes from such an influential family. I've shamelessly cleaned her mess after her, but one thing I didn't do was destroy the footages like she always ordered me to. I kept them because I knew a day would come when I'd need them to save myself or someone and it seems that day has come.” I listen with maximum concentration and I'm surprised that I'm not mad at him right now.

He's the main person who made it impossible to trace any crime to Alina because he kept getting rid of evidence that could be used against her. It's because of him that she has been able to play her dirty games for so long.

I'm supposed to be upset with him, but I'm not. On the contrary I'm relieved and grateful to him for making the decision to expose her.

“So.” I clear my throat and take one step towards him. “You mean to tell me you have footages of every crime Alina has orchestrated and committed?”

“Yes, My Lord. They are in my computer.” He points to the laptop on the table behind us. “I already showed the others and they confirmed it to be true.” I whip my head in Ronald's direction. He nods his head. I turn to Kyle and Tessa. They do the same. Goosebumps scatter down my spine and I squeeze my fingers into a tight fist as I try to curb my excitement.

I need to stay calm.

“What about you…” I turn to the guy whose name I got as Alain. “I would love to hear your own story.”

“Oh…” Kyle exclaims from his end and I turn to face him. He's chuckling and shaking his head. “You'll have to brace yourself for that one. It's going to be a blow to the face.” My heart trips on hearing that. I look back at the guy at the speed of light.

“Is that true?” I ask, trying to keep calm. I'm actually bracing myself internally for what's to come. I always take Kyle's words serious because the man is always very serious.

“Yes, My Lord.”

I take a step back and clear my throat, taking a firm pose. I shut my eyes and draw in a deep breath before prying my eyes open again.

“Right. Shoot.”

“Alina and I are mates.”

His words slap me across the face like a hundred hands. Sirens start spinning in my blood as I gape at him with eyes and mouth wide open.

‘Alina and I are mates.’

The veracity of those words obliterates my ability to think. I want to say something since my mouth is already open but my the words are sticking to my tongue. I am so dumbstruck that the only thing I can do at this moment is laugh, so I laugh.

It's a hard, heavy sort of laugh that drives fear into the hearts of everyone standing around. The laugh doesn't last ten seconds. Soon, I'm quiet again. The entire room is quiet and the atmosphere is taut with tension. I slam my gaze back at Alain's face.

“You've got to be kidding me!”

“I would never joke about…”

“I know. I know. That was just a figure of speech.” I turn around and place my right palm against my forehead to support my heavy head from falling off my neck. I am boiling with hatred and disgust.

Not for the guy who just made the confession, but for Alina who has been deceiving me for…

I look back at the guy.

“For how long have you known this?”

“More than six months.”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
