Chapter 0376
RAEGAN'S POV.
Ashanti and I had another bickering session throughout the ride to her house. She kept scolding me about things, most of which I can't even remember anymore because all I could think about at that moment was how cute she looked and how melodious her voice sounded.
Goodness, she has no idea how much I missed her these two years she was away. How much I'm excited about her return.
"That's because you haven't shown her. If you do that, she'll know and all this frequent bickering will stop." King chimes in from nowhere and I roll my eyes, hard. He's always attentive to my thoughts just so he can attack me unaware.
"You think I'm not trying?"
"It's not enough. All this showing up every now and then won't make things better. It's annoying Ashanti and I'm baffled that you can't even see it." "If she didn't want me coming around to pick her, she would not have let me give her a lift. She likes it!"
"Yeah, but she'll like it better if you made a choice between her and Selena right away. That's the ultimate thing you have to do to prove to her that she's the one you love and want to be with."
"You think I don't want that?"
"Then why haven't you done that already?"
"The Moon Goddess, King. We both know this has never happened before in the history of Lycans and Werewolves. No Lycan King has ever had two mates alive. I need to know what the moon goddess wants before making a decision. I cannot act rashly!"
"Then commence with the investigation already."
"That's exactly why I called the meeting I'm heading to right now." I stop in the castle premises, unbuckle my seatbelt and get out of the car through the door that has been opened for me by a guard. I respond to his greeting and that of the others around with a curt bow as I walk towards the administrative building where my office is located.
Ronald and Kyle are already waiting for me.
"Look, King. You're not the only one eager to be at peace with Ashanti again. I am too, but there's a great task ahead of us and we cannot afford to mess it up. Ronald and Kyle will help me make sure I don't make the wrong decision, so relax. We have everything in control."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“This is nothing but Karma coming back at you for not accepting her the first day you found out she was our mate. This is the Moon goddess' way of punishing you for allowing Ashanti to undergo all that suffering and humiliation in that Harem when all you had to do was claim her. Bear it!"
I shut him out.
I shut him out because he's right.
My evil deeds towards Ashanti in the past have come back to bite me in the ass! And I totally deserve it. I was an ass back then.
"Good day, My Lord." The guard stationed at my door greets as I approach. I nod and stop in front of my office door, exhaling deeply.
If only I could turn back the hands of
vel.ne
time. I would accept and claim Ashanti at first sight and save myself all this trouble I'm facing right now.
The door is opened and I step into the office. As expected, Ronald and Kyle are already inside, waiting for me. Ronald is standing by the glass window, while Kyle is pacing about and the moment he sees me he rushes over, almost panting.
"You're here."
"Yes, Kyle. I'm here."
"What's with the gloomy expression? Did something happen?" I sigh lightly and walk past him, but I'm stopped by Ronald's piercing gaze.
They want me to go straight to the point. Now.
I'd rather deal with Kyle's questions than Ronald's serious frown, so I turn back to him and shake my head.
"No. Nothing happened."
"What about Selena? Did you talk to her?"
Here we go. He's hitting the nail right on the head. No time for jokes.
"Yes. I did."
"So..." that's Ronald. He's approaching us slowly. "What did she say?"
I calmly narrate to them the
conversation had with Selena last night. How she told me she was abducted by a man who never showed his face to her and spoke only a few words whenever he came to her. Her escape plan and how she managed to execute it and show up here. By the time I'm done narrating, the two men are staring at me like they're expecting me to say more.
