THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE

REAGAN'S POV

The scene where Selena told me about her rape experience replays in my mind. We were in my bedroom, on my bed. We had been kissing deeply prior to that moment and she understood I intended to do more than kissing that night so she stopped and started crying. She told me about the experience in tears and I felt so bad for her and couldn't bring myself to touch her that night.

It took me almost two months to bring myself to initiate sex with her again and still recall how much I had to apologize to her afterwards because of how much she was crying.

Was she just pretending all that time?

"So..." I croak, my eyes still on the floor. "You mean to tell me Selena had a boyfriend who possibly took her virginity when she was fifteen. That she wasn't raped like she claimed."

"That's what I'm saying."

I ball my hands in a fist and picture what I could do to Selena if she was brought to me right now. I don't think anyone would be able to stop me from strangling her to death.

"The next revelation is going to get you a million times more upset than you are right now."

"What revelation could possibly be worse than what you just told me?"

"The fact that her boyfriend was the nephew of Logan Wright, former Alpha of the Black Night Pack. The Alpha who ambushed the pack five years ago and caused the biggest tragedy you've ever recorded in your reign."

"No, he's not."

“I said the same thing when I was told."

"And Selena knew about this?"

"She was well aware. She kept seeing this guy even after she had accepted you as her mate. She was cheating on you with the scumbag!"

I heave myself off the table and start pacing. My heart is racing. My nerves are raging. I can feel anger making its way to the forefront of my consciousness.

I can't take it anymore!

"And where's this boyfriend? Do you know where he is?"

"I was hoping you'd ask me that question."

I shoot him a perplexed look. Something like a smile curves at the side of his lips as he comes closer to me.

"On the day of the ambush, he disappeared. Just like his uncle... just like Selena."

“Please don't tell me the point you're trying to make is that Selena eloped with her boyfriend and his uncle during the ambush.” That's Ronald. My eyes widen in shock as I watch Kyle give him a proud nod, agreeing to his statement.

My knees turn jelly. My entire being is a raging mass of hormones. I feel like the sky just dropped on my head. That cannot be true. All that I just heard right now cannot be true!

"That's preposterous! Why would Selena choose him over me? That doesn't make any sense!" I counter in complete disbelief.

"Alpha Reagan. These aren't confirmed facts. They are simply possibilities my investigation has led to. I know right now you're confused..." "Confused?" I ask, furious. "I'm not confused. I'm furious!"

"I know you are, but you need to calm down?"

"Calm down? Do you honestly think I can calm down after everything I just heard?just found out there's a possibility that the girl I used to love with all my heart did nothing but lie to me everytime she opened her mouth. You honestly think can be cam?"

“Lije I said, these aren't proven facts. They are just speculations. Solid ones though and we both know that we need to be sure of our facts before making any decision on the issue, so I urge you to stay calm."

I shoot him a frown because I know he's right.

"Yes Alpha. Kyle is right. If we want to find out who Selena really is, we have to play it cool because she's the only one who can prove to us her true colors. As of now we have no idea what she's up to or what she's capable of doing, so just like Kyle, I suggest we stay calm and act oblivious."

“Are you saying I shouldn't confront her about any of this?"Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Well..." that's Kyle. "You can, about the boyfriend issue, but don't make her feel like you suspect anything. Just show her you're mad that she lied to you about not having a boyfriend before she met you. If she knows we are digging deep into knows w what she has been up to these past years, she might do something to sabotage the investigation. As it is now, I'm wary of that girl. She's more cunning and dangerous than she lets on."

"Well she's going to regret trying to be cunning with me! I'll make sure of that!”

"Alpha Reagan you really have to..."

“Calm down!” I quickly cut him off. There's a stubborn look on my face. "I know. I know. You don't have to remind me." Another heavy sigh escapes my chest.

I have no idea how I'm going to hide this anger and disappointment from Selena, but what I know is that I will get to the root of this matter.

I must find out why she left and why she has returned.
