THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

Chapter 0215

REAGAN'S POV.

I'm staring at one elders face to the next and the uncertain looks they have on pleases me. They must be wondering why I called this meeting.

I'm sure a few of them have already guessed the reason.

The announcement I’m about to make is not going to be a pleasant one for most of them because of their beliefs.

Damn their beliefs.

I clear my throat and look straight ahead as I prepare my mind to address them.

“Thank you all for honoring this meeting. I called you here today to make an important announcement.” I say, looking left and right at some of their faces. The entire room is dead silent. Even the wind is afraid to make a sound. “A few months ago, the Concordant Ritual was relaunched and the main objective for that was so that I could find a mate among the girls who were chosen for the ritual. Am I correct?” I ask and they all nod their heads in unison. The leader of the council takes the initiative to give a verbal response.

“You are very correct, My Lord. That was the main purpose of the Ritual.” He confirms my words.

“Good. I called this meeting to announce to you all that I have granted your wishes by choosing a mate from those girls and you know her already. Her name is Ashanti Anderson. She hails from the Mystic Diamond Pack and it will please you all to know that her father is Alpha of that pack.”

“My Lord.” An elder calls and I turn to look at him. It's Elder Malcom, one of the elders who came to talk me out of getting too close to Ashanti when the rumors about us started flying around. I have

the urge to shut him up because I know he's about to say something that will upset me, but I decide against it.

I should hear what he has to say.

“Yes, Elder Malcom.”

“Isn't she the same girl whose sister has been arrested and awaits trial for murdering an innocent Pack subject? The girl who attempted to poison the guest Alphas who were invited to watch the fighting competition?”

“She's the very one.”

“My Lord. In my opinion, accepting a girl whose sister is involved in such a scandal is not a very wise decision to take. She comes from a family with a stained reputation and as if that's not enough, she's an ordinary werewolf. It's an abomination for a werewolf to rule over Lycans.”

Now I understand why the Moon goddess mated Kyle and me to werewolves. She wants to teach these pompous idiots a valuable lesson.

If I wasn't feeling so ecstatic this morning because of the reconciliation with Ashanti and news of Kyle finding his mate, I would have dismissed this old man from this meeting and expelled him from my council of elders.

What I'll do now is put this geezer in his place.

“Elder Malcom, A few days before your induction as member of the council of Elders, wasn't your Elder brother hanged for being guilty of killing his own wife and first born simply because he suspected and accused her of cheating? A suspicion which was later revealed to be false.” I ask, giving him a thoughtful stare and he goes mute. “Were you asked to step down and give your position to another because of your brother's crime?” The man calmly shakes his head.

“No, My Lord.” His voice is less than a whisper.

“I can't hear you.”

“No,My Lord.” His voice is a lot louder now.

I nod.

“So what makes you think you have the right to say what you just said about my chosen mate?”

“I was wrong, My Lord. I wasn't thinking. I made a mistake. Please forgive me.”

“This is your second strike. The third will get you kicked out of this council. So watch your tongue.”

“Thank you for showing me mercy, My Lord.” I roll my eyes and look away from him. The rest of the elders look like they are about to piss their pants. I bet everyone who had something to say against my union with Ashanti has swallowed their words.

“And the same goes to the rest of you. You dare talk trash about my mate and I will make you regret it. Ashanti is the chosen one. I will marry her and all of you seated her will crown her Luna of this Pack. She will rule by my side. She will rule over all of you and you will show her the respect she deserves. If that reality repulses you so much, you are free to carry your bags and leave the Pack. Or better still, die.” I stop and wait for anyone else to object, but they all stay silent. “ A grand ceremony will be held for my decision to be announced to the public. For now, what we've discussed shouldn't leave this room. Am I understood?”

“Yes, My Lord.” A chorus response comes through.

“This meeting is over.” Their heads all drop down as I rise to my feet and walk out of the room with my Beta and Delta following me closely.

I've never felt so good after a meeting.

“Those elders will be cooking your name in pot tonight.” Says Ronald as the three of us go into my office. I can't hold my laughter in.

“Yeah, they didn't look so pleased. Elder Malcolm nearly pissed his pants when you brought up his brother's case. You put him in his place.” Kyle adds.

“That one has always been difficult.”

“I'm happy you finally made the decision to choose a mate.” That's Ronald. “The pack will finally be at rest.” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“It sure will.”

“Let's talk about the upcoming trail. The one involving Rhea. Ashanti's step sister.”

“Before that, I want you to know something. I did want to tell you at first but I thought how upset you'd be if you got to find out later from someone else.”

“What's with the speech? Did you get a girl pregnant?” Ronald asks out of nowhere. Kyle and I nearly tear ourselves with laughter.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the fact that Ronald is the one with a sense of humor between the three of us.

He's a clown!

“No dummy! I found my mate.” Kyle announces and Ronald's jaw drops to the floor.

The shocked expression on’ his face is a wonderful sight to behold.
