THE LYCAN KING’S SECOND CHANCE MATE novel Chapter 216

KYLE'S POV.

FOUR HOURS LATER.

“I have to go now.” I tell Tessa with a heavy heart as I rise from the couch we are both sitting on. About two hours ago, I got her out of the Harem by lying to the elderly servants to send her over to run some errands for me. Left to me, she'd be out of that Harem by now and living with me in my house. When I first suggested it, she agreed, but after giving it a lot of thought, she asked me to let her stay at the Premium quarters and keep the fact that we were mates a secret until she was ready to deal with all the drama that would come with the announcement.

That's not what I want, but I have to bear with her.

“Two hours with you feels like two minutes.” She says sadly and my heart nearly bursts with pain.

“I know, right?” I heave a sigh and plant a gentle kiss on her lips. “It's been hours since my father summoned me and my phone has been buzzing in my pocket for a while now. It must be him. I need to see him now before he gets more upset than he already is.”

“Is your father a strict man?” She asks calmly. I look at her and smile.

My father is a wild man!

“Why do you ask?”

“I just want to know what to expect when the time comes for me to meet them.”

I take both her hands in mine and kiss them.

“We'll talk about my father some other time.”

“Okay.”

“Yeah. You can stay here for as long you want. Don't be in a rush to go back to the Premium quarters.”

“I'll just nap for a bit and leave later.”

“Alright then, rest up. I'll see you soon .”

I have a feeling this is going to be a spine chilling conversation.

“Good day, father.” I greet respectfully as I head to the sitting area, but he turns to look at me, I freeze in my tracks.

He's frowning and that's not a good thing.

Am I going to get a scolding?

“I summoned you three hours ago.” He doesn't hide the annoyance in his voice. I relax my body and clear my throat as I pack up all my courage to meet his gaze.

“I… I was busy.”

“Doing what exactly? What could be more important than showing up when your father summons you?”
