The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate (Ashanti)
Chapter 51

Chapter 0051

ASHANTI'S POV.

I am startled out of my own skin when I walk into the arena and see Alina lacing up her shoes.

She hasn't seen me yet because she has head bowed down and has her hair hanging over her face as she arranges her shoe lace. She's dressed in a white. tracksuit, meaning she's here for training. Nope.

I can't stay.

I'm just going to turn a round and...

"Ashanti! Hello!" Nelly greets cheerfully.

Loudly.

Getting the attention of everyone, including Alina. I freeze in my tracks and wave curtly at her.

"Hello." Is all I manage. Nelly grabs my wrist and playfully pulls me along with her towards the seats where we usually keep our backpacks.

"You are early as usual." She takes off her bag and places it on one of the seats. I do the same.

"Yeah. I am." I'm using all my will power to stop myself from looking in Alina's direction. I can feel her gaze boring a hole through my spine. Why is she here?

Has she come to kill me like she said?

There'll be too many witnesses. She won't go Scott free. I'm not sure she's that dumb to do that. She's probably here to torture me, I'll confirm that if she proposes to have a duel with me.

"I can see Delta Kyle's sister will be training with us today." Says Nelly as her eyes scan around the room. Confusion spreads on my face as I try to understand what she just said.

Delta Kyle's sister?

Who the hell is that?

"The Delta's sister?" I ask.

"Yes. She nods in Alina's direction. "The girl in the white tracksuit. She's Delta Kyle's only sister and you should watch out for..." She trails on but I don't hear a single word again because my entire being has been shut down by that very shocking discovery.

Alina is Delta Kyle's sister.

They are **g siblings!

Blood siblings!

Goddess what have I done?

"Alina and Delta Kyle are siblings?" I ask harshly and Nelly stops her narration and gives me a surprised look.

She scoffs.

"What? You didn't know?" I calmly nod. "Tsk tsk tsk." She's shaking as she makes that sound with her tongue. "You seem to be unaware of many things around here."

"But... how... How are they siblings?"

"Are you seriously asking nie that question or are you just shocked?"

"I guess I'm just shocked. They are so different."

"I know, right? Delta Kyle is an angel. The sweetest man to ever grace this earth and he's calm and easy going. But his sister is the direct opposite. She's the devil's incarnate... female form and she's every girl's nightmare. She brings along her dark aura wherever she goes. Just watch and see how gloomy and devastating training will be today just because she's here."

My heart starts pounding real quick. I nervously wipe my sweaty palms against my trousers and swallow the needles in my throat.

She's here for me.

She'll end me.

"Maybe I should just go back to the H**m and do something else." Nelly slicks her arm around mine and holds me tight.

"And leave me here alone with this mean-spirited girl? What if you come tomorrow and hear that I died? My death will be on you?" I look down at her and chuckle lightly. "Don't be such a namby-pamby!"

"I'm serious." She even pouts. I shake her off of my body and arrange my wrinkled clothes.

"Fine. I'll stay."

"Ashanti!"

Oh, G⭑d. No.

Nelly scampers away as Alina approaches me with a wicked smile plastered on her face.

"Alina." I call. Tightly. She stops a few metres away from me and I wish she would stop smiling at me already. Her smile makes me feel like there are caterpillars crawling all over my body. As usual, she looks elegant.

We all look casual in this very casual tracksuit outfit, but Alina manages to stay elegant.

Nice one.

"I'll be joining you guys for training."

"I noticed."

"You should watch out. You never know when an accident will occur. You might be going home today with a broken leg."

"Might. Thank goodness it's not certain. I'll make sure I don't."

"You grow more confident as the days go by."

"You are my inspiration."

She's still smiling. The caterpillars are crawling into holes on my body. My ears, my nostrils, my eyes, my armpits.

I want to scream.

"See you around."

Then she walks away.

Delta Kyle comes in a few minutes later and announces that Alpha Reagan will not be joining us today because he has business to take care of in another pack.

The disappointment on Alina's face is not something I miss. Even I am disappointed, but I hope she doesn't notice.

As we warm up in a group, I am deeply regretting the fact that I asked Delta Kyle about the mate issue.

What if he discussed it with his sister?

That's only going to get to bully me even more. I let out an exasperated sigh and as I take the next step forward, my right leg hits against a hard object and I lose my balance. I trip and land on the floor on my stomach. Everyone gasps before the entire hall falls silent, but a loud, rude laugh cuts through the atmosphere, making bile boil in my stomach.

It's Alina.

She's laughing at me.

And it's her fault I fell because the object I tripped on was not really an object. It was her leg.

"Alina, out of the line. Now!" Delta Kyle instructs. furiously.

"But I didn't do anything."

"Don't let me repeat myself. Out. Now!" He's pointing to the seats as he speaks. Alina steps out of the line, smiling down at me and showing her middle finger.

"Are you alright? Is anything broken?" Kyle asks, concerned as he helps me to my feet. I daintily step on both feet, hoping to feel a sharp pain in any of my ankles, but there's none.

No sprained ankle. Thank the goddess.

I smile up at Kyle.

"I'm fine. Thank you.

"Good."

My eyes betray me and look in Alina's direction. She has made herself comfortable on one of the seats. and when our gazes meet, she cuts her thumb through the air, across her neck, telling me in silence that I'm doomed.

That this is just the tip of the iceberg.
