ASHANTI’S POV.I try to stay strong as I scrub the floor. I try to keep myself from crying, but whenever the broken image of the framed photo flashes in my mind, it makes my heart hurt until I can’t take it anymore. I let my tears fall and sob like a baby.That was the only beautiful thing I had lef
ASHANTI’S POV.Flabbergasted is the right adjective to use to describe my current state. I'm glued to my spot, my mouth is hanging open in shock as I gape at Delta Kyle who’s smiling down at me like he has lost his mind.I came out of the building and met him here, waiting for me.He wants to walk w
ASHANTI’S POV.“Strawberry!” Nelly screams under my hold and I instantly release her arm and jump up to my feet, panting.I won again.“Stop!” Alpha Reagan signals. I heave out a heavy sigh of relief. Nelly and I have been fighting for the goddess knows how long and I’ve won seven out of ten rounds.
ASHANTI’S POV.“The Delta suggested a duel between you and Alpha Reagan during training?” Tessa asks in a harsh whisper as we both pick up our plates and cutleries from the pantry and put on our trays before joining the line of girls going to get their meals. It’s dinner time.“You needed to see th
ASHANTI’S POV.Tessa and I both lost our appetites after that incident. We could very well get food again, but we decided to leave the cafeteria after cleaning up the mess. She went straight to bed while I came out for a walk. I still have about two hours before our ten pm curfew and I want to spend
ASHANTI’S POV.“What was that about yesterday?” I have been muttering that question since I woke up this morning. I have searched my mind for answers, but I’ve still not gotten any clue.Since the day Delta Kyle set his eyes on me, he has been nothing but nice and sweet and friendly to me. He helps
ASHANTI’S POV.“All done!” The make-up artist in charge of me announces cheerfully. I’m staring at my reflection in the mirror, unable to recognise myself. The make-up is too much, too wild, too bright. I hate it! But the other girls seem to adore it because of how they are gushing at their reflecti
“Not so fast.” His brows crease. “You can’t just serve me wine and be on your way. You have to stay and make sure I'm entertained as I drink.” He pulls me to sit on his lap. I cringe when my butt touches the fabric of his trousers.Damn this dress!It keeps sliding up, showing more of my thighs. One
After we are done eating, we both go to the living room and I stand at a considerable distance away from him, not knowing what to say to myself now that we are back to reality.“We should definitely talk about last night.” Alpha Regan proposes in a calm, quiet tone. My heart misses a beat when my ga
ASHANTI’S POV.“This is all your fault. You’re the one who asked me to hide. That was totally uncalled for!” Alpha Reagan accuses the moment I close the door and turn around. I heave out a silent sigh and start walking away from the door.He’s right.It was a stupid idea to have made him hide.I’m n
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY…ASHANTI’S POV.My eyes flutter open and the ceiling above comes into view. I’m in my room, lying on my bed and the rays of light peering through the little cracks of the window curtains on the other end of the room tell me it’s morning. I start to panic but then I rem
ASHANTI’S POV.A combination of shock and mind spinning sensations submerge me into a complete state of oblivion as our lips move in perfect synchrony. The stunning contact of our lips is all glowing, sparking warmth. Soft. Firm lips. His lips against mine. Passionate and urgent to say something to
Also, I really want to know why he’s here. And I know I shouldn’t be, but I’m sort of happy to see him.We read; We don’t judge.“He went out with a couple of friends. He said to tell you not to wait up for him because he’ll be back late.”“First, he went to the gym and now to an outing. Wow! He’s l
ASHANTI’S POV.“Did you have a great time?” Leonard asks as we both make our way towards the main entrance door of the Mansion. I look up at him and smile as I nod my head. Despite everything, these past four hours I spent with him have been nothing short of fun. From taking a stroll along pavements
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FIVE.ASHANTI’S POV.“You good?” Leonard’s voice breaks the silence in the car and I let out a heavy sigh, contemplating whether to lie or tell him the truth.I feel like shit.Clearly, this plan of me trying to make Alpha Reagan feel miserable because he’s living with
“Oh…” Is all I manage. Now I understand why he’s always so understanding . He’s guilty of the same crime. I can only imagine the look of terror on the guys’ faces whenever they ring the doorbell and Leonard opens the door and starts interrogating them.Chills!“Yeah. So, are you ready to leave?”“I
ASHANTI’S POV.My shoulders rise and fall as I let out a small sigh and stare at my reflection in the mirror in front of me. My blue eyes stare right back at me, hard, and I can bet they are judging me for insisting on going on this outing with Leonard, but I don’t care about their judgment either.
