THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

Chapter 0243

ALINA'S POV.

…I will never choose you as my Luna, Alina. Not even if you were the last woman on earth. Not even with a gun pointed to my head. You will never have a place in my heart or in my home. Know that and know peace!”...

Those words are like a scar on my mind. I can’t get them to stop replaying over and over again and I swear I will lose my mind soon if it doesn't stop. My entire body went numb when Alpha Reagan shot those words at my face. I felt like I'd been slapped by a hundred hands at once.

His stern and serious tone. The meaningful look in his eyes. His flaring nostrils and twitching temples which was an indication that he was grinding his teeth against each other. All those little actions proved that he wasn’t blabbering.

He was damn serious. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Ashanti is the woman he loves. She's the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with and no one can make him change his mind. I could try from now till this year runs out to make him change his mind, but that’s not going to happen. He will never change his mind…

Not unless he's forced.

Yes. Forced.

I have seen the signs. I know the drill. That man doesn't have an iota of feelings for me. He hates being in the same space with me, breathing the same air with me. If there was a means, he would kill me so I could stop pestering him. He has grown to hate me, but I don't care.

What I know is that I want him and I always get what I want. It doesn't matter what it is.

“Father.” I call the moment I step into my father's office. He stops typing on his laptop and looks up. His eyes twinkle in surprise when he sees me.

“Alina.” He calls enthusiastically. There's a fat smile plastered on my face as I walk over to him.

Unlike Kyle, my father dotes on me. He supports and makes sure I get anything I want.

Now that convincing Alpha Reagan by myself to choose me instead of Ashanti hasn't worked, I'm going to get him involved. He might not be the Delta of the pack anymore, but he's still got a lot of power and influence in this pack. He has the ability to make things go my way.

“What brings you to my office?”

I take the seat across from him and let out a heavy sigh.

“Alpha Reagan is furious that I told you about the pregnancy. I'm just coming from his office right now where he summoned me and reprimanded me about the issue.”

“That arrogant son of a monkey!” Father curses angrily and he closes his laptop. I prop my hands on the table and lean forward towards him, staring at his mildly wrinkled face that has gone dark as he frowns. He's even more angry about this situation than I am.

Than I will ever be.

“Father, he's never going to choose me. We just spoke a few minutes ago and he scolded me. He told me he wouldn't pick me even if I was the last woman on this earth. Seducing or charming him will not do the trick. We have to resort to creating a scandal.``

“And what scandal do you suggest we create?”

“He doesn't want the general public to find out about my pregnancy because he knows it'll cause a lot of chaos in the pack. He might have chosen Ashanti to be his second chance mate, but more than half the population is against his decision. They hate Ashanti. If they all find out that he has gotten me, a Lucan warrior pregnant, their first choice for him, they will rebel against him and in order to bring peace, he'll have no choice but to accept me.” I confidently expatiate, feeling proud of myself for coming up with such a brilliant plan.

There's no flaw in it.

All I need to do is pay a few popular bloggers to post articles on their websites and social media pages and before we know it, the news will be all over the place. The youths, the young children and even the old will come to learn about my pregnancy and the rioting will start.

They love me. They want me to be their Luna so I'm going to make them help me make that dream come true.

“That sounds like an outrageous plan that will do more harm than good. Reagan is not a Lycan King for nothing. He has so much power and influence over his subjects than you could ever fathom and if you do anything rash, it will backfire for all of us in the end.” He says thoughtfully, staring deep into my eyes. I let out a heavy sigh of exasperation as I lean on the backrest of the chair.

“So what are we going to do now? I can't just give up.”

“No one's giving up.” His raspy voice divulges. I look at him attentively because I know something else is about to follow that statement. “I know exactly what to do.”

“What's that?”

“He has a council of elders. Those are the only people who have the power to influence his decision. If we get those elders on our side, they will bring up a good argument to him and he will

have no choice but to succumb to their demands.”

My brows crease as I try to make sense out of what he just said. The elders are a bunch of old people and many times, I've heard Alpha Reagan cursing them for being dumb and old fashioned. We all know he hardly listens to their council.

“Alpha Reagan doesn't listen to any of his elders. They have never influenced his decision before.”

“That's because he has never impregnated the daughter of a former Delta before, but he has now. This is a sensitive topic and he's in a tight spot. We need just put a little pressure on him and he'll cave.” He picks up his cell phone and dials a number. When the person picks, he tells whoever it is to report to his office immediately before ending the call.

Minutes later, a man dressed in a black suit comes striding into the office. He walks up to where my father and I are seated and bows to him.

“You called.”

“I need you to reach out to all the pack elders. Tell them I have something very important to discuss with them. Meeting time is twelve noon.”

“That will be done at once.”

“Thank you.”

The man gives him another curt bow and leaves the office. My father averts his gaze to me.

“Start thinking of the perfect, pity story to tell the elders. We have to try and win them over when they come.” I simply nod my head, trying hard not to show how stunned I am.

I knew he wasn't going to disappoint me.
