The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate (Ashanti) novel Chapter 383

I can see the confusion swimming in her eyes. Her zeal to ask me why I'm asking all this even though Selena is dead and gone.

“So… she was dating, huh?”

“Yeah.”

“And what was the guy’s name?”

“Zachary Wright. We called him Zach.”

“Where's he now?” She quickly purses her lips and looks away.

I take it that she doesn’t want to respond.

Fishy.

“Catherine.” I call in a low, gruff voice that compels her to look my way again. “Where is Zachary Wright?”

“He's not here.”

“Where's he?”

“He disappeared on the day of the ambush.”

“What do you mean he disappeared?”

“His uncle was the Alpha who planned the ambush that took Selena's life five years ago. No one ever saw Zach after that so we assumed he got scared for his life and ran away.”

I pause and stare at her, blinking slowly as I take in her shocking revelation.

Several moments go by before I snap out of my trance and regain my voice.

“Tell me about their relationship. Were they close?”

“Yes. They were each other's first love.”

“Were they still together by the time found out she was mated to Alpha Reagan?”

“Yes. They were.”

“What was her reaction?”

“She wasn't very happy. She wanted to reject him and be with Zach, but I convinced her not to.”

“Why did you do that?”

She blinks in surprise. I nod my head.

“Yeah. Why?”

“Because Alpha Regan was her mate and I knew she'd be miserable if she rejected him.” She explains, giving me a firm look.

“I see.” I clear my throat and sit upright. “So how did Zach react when she cut him off?”
