THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

Chapter 0386

"Oh my God!" I whisper with a shaky voice. "Why didn't I think of that?"

"You have to be careful, Ash. I experienced something similar the tear I won Fashion King. A group of make and female designers ganged up against me and swore to get me disqualified from the competition. They messed up with my equipment, tried to implicate me during competitions. I almost got disqualified, but the Moon goddess saved me because she knew I was innocent. As it is now, people see you as a threat and they'll do anything to send you packing in order to increase their chances of winning."

"Why's that? Why do they even do that? This is just a competition? They are all good designers, why can't they just compete fairly?"

"I've asked myself the same question many times, but I've still gotten no response. It makes no sense to me why someone would ruin another person's chance of winning just to create a chance for his or herself. It's lame, but what can we do?" He asked shrugging and I let out a tired sigh. From now on, I won't just be anxious about the competition, but also about people who will try to get me disqualified.

Just great!

"Thank you very much for the heads up, Leonard. I'll watch my back more carefully from now on."

"You should." He says and throws another look at the door behind him and I cannot take it anymore.

"I noticed you keep looking at the door. Are you expecting anyone?" His pupils dilate. He looks surprised by my observation.

"Uh... yes. I am."

"Who are you expecting?"

"Alpha Reagan."

The name jars in my ear like loud music.

“Who?" I ask again to be sure I heard the name right.

"Alpha Reagan." He repeats the name and my stupid heart starts doing backflips in my chest.

The sound of his name excites me, but the fact that he's going to be joining us infuriates me!

"I... I don't understand. Why will be joining us?"

"What I'm trying to say is that, If like Alpha Reagan will burst in anytime and take you away... you know... like he did the other night when I took you out."

Guilt pours like a bucket of water allover my head, down to my face and entire body, soaking me to my underwear. I cover my face with my palms in embarrassment.

Alpha Reagan will be the end of me.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"I'm so sorry, Leonard." I apologise fervently as I drop my hands from my face and look at him.

"It's okay." He's smile is so bright, it makes me feel even more guilty. "I don't mind."

"You should. Alpha Reagan has been downright disrespectful to you and it's irritating. He's such a jerk."

"No he's not. He's a man in love and he's only trying to keep what's his?"

"Keep what's his?" I can feel annoyance making it's way to the forefront of my consciousness. "I'm not some property or title he's trying to keep. By the way he can't keep what he didn't have in the first place."

"Ash, you know what I mean." I stop fuming and relax. The man is still smiling while I'm breathing so hard, it's almost embarrassing.

Since when did I get so easily offended?

"There's nothing going on between Alpha Reagan and me. I promise."

"I know. But with the way he's acting, it won't be long before you two become something."

"That's not going to happen."

Calmly, he stretches out his right arm towards me with his palm facing upward.

"Wanna bet?"

I freeze.

This is not how I wanted this afternoon to go!
