The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Chapter 0125 ASHANTI'S POV.

I'm fuming as I walk into my bedroom because of what just happened at the arena. I'm an ordinary werewolf.

| So what? It's not like I don't have powers. I'm strong. I can shapeshift. I have a heightened sense of hearing and smell. I'm fast. The only difference between Lycans and us, werewolves, is the fact. that they are physically more powerful and sancestral norms which state that they are superior to us. That's why they keep rubbing it in our faces every d a m n time.

This is the last tI'll let any of those girls beatin a duel in that arena. From now on, will train very hard so I can win every duel I have with them. Even the men. I need to make them understand that other werewolves may be weak, but I'm not.

I'm an Alpha Heir. I've been training since I was five and I'm very skilled and powerful. I will prove them wrong! I halt in my tracks when I see a bowl of snacks on the table in the sitting area of the room. Calmly, carefully, I approach the table, my eyes glued on the snacks in the bowl. Those weren't there when Tessa and I left this morning. There's a note in the bowl as well, so I gently pick it up to read.

"Special snacks for the Premium H r m girls. Enjoy." A smile forms on my face.

It seems to be a normal thing around here. I'm once again reminded of the fact that my rank in this Harm has been upgraded. I put down the note and take a piece of chocolate from the bowl before making my way to the bathroom.

I hope they deliver these everyday! I'm famished by the tdone showering and dressing up, so I take a handful of sweets and chocolates an ead to the cafeteria. The moment I get in, the entire place goes silent and I see vacating their table and one of them runs to me.

a group "Ashanti! Welcome." She greets, enthusiastically. The other girls wave and smile atas well and just like yesterday, I'm in awe.

"Thank you, Kylie." "Come. We've vacated the table for you. You can have a seat there." She gestures toto sit on the table. I look at her and shake my head.

"No. No... I can't. You all really didn't have to do all that for me. I'm.....

"We have to!" She gently pushesto the table and before I know it, I'm being lowered to the chair. Again. "We don't mind finding another table to seat on or even standing up to eat while you seat." She's smiling from molar to molar and I'm looking around at the empty seats in the cafeteria. There are not many girls her so there are a lot of empty tables which I could have chosen myself. +15 BONUS "Look, girls." I say, looking at them all. "I have no idea why you are are suddenly being too nice to me, but I wish you could just stop. It's creepy and strange and I'm not comfortable with it." "With tyou'll get used to it. There's just two meals on the menu today. Chicken casserole and pasta. Which would you rather I get?" I look at them all and notice they are not evening listening to anything I'm saying.

They are here to serveand they won't leave until I comply. I let out a deep sigh and look at the talking girl.

"Chicken casserole." "I'll be right back." "Hold on." I call before she can leave.

"Yeah." "Here." I take out the sweets and chocolates from my pockets and put them in her hands. "I feel bad for letting you all do this for me, so I'm giving you my snacks." "The special snacks at the Premium quarters?" Another girl asks and her eyes widen in disbelief when I nod in agreement. "And you decided to give it to us instead?" "Yeah." I shrug. "Why not? They are just sweets and chocolates." "You're an angel! You are the sweetest." "Thank you Ashanti! You're the best!" They all turn and leave and the bantering about who gets which snack starts. It makeschuckle.

I look around the room, marveling at the sudden turn of events ever since I got promoted to the Premium quarters and I can't help but smile. Almost everyone is being nice tonow, especially Ma'am Lisa who seemed to abhor me.

As much as it feels nice, it makesscared because it will only get Alina imore infuriated, which means more danger for me! My face lice when I see Tessa walking into the cafeteria with her backpack slinged over ems to just be returning from her daily training at the tech center.

her arm. SI

"Tessa!" I call out with a wave so she can spotand cover. When she sees me, stopsyn her tracks and I wink and wave even more. "Over here." I call out. She stays glued to her tracks and the look she has on doesn't match the smile on my face. It's expressionless.

And she's staring right into my eyes, but I cannot tell if she's happy or upset about something.

"Over here." I call out again, still smiling, but to my greatest shock, she turns around and leaves them cafeteria without saying a word to me. Instantly, I rise up to follow her, but the group of girls from a while ago arrive with my food. "Where are you going? Your food has arrived!" I look at the girl holding my food, smiling from molar to molar and my heart breaks when I try to picture the disappointed look she'll have if I leave without eating the food she served me. +15 BONUS I look back at the door and let out a heavy sigh.

Maybe it's nothing. Maybe she didn't see me. I could ask her about it later.

"Uh..." I turn to the girls and smile. "Thank you." Then I take back my seat. She puts the tray of food on the table.

"Enjoy. And thank you once more for the snacks."

"You are welcand thank you too!" They all nod and leave and I dig into my food, but through out, I keep thinking about how Tessa reacted to my greeting and invitation. Did she ignoreon purpose? Peter Gril CH/F-PSE X
