REAGAN’S POV.A silent sigh leaves my chest when I walk into the arena and there’s still no sign of Ashanti. She wasn’t here yesterday or the day before and I hate to say this, but I'm worried. She could have fallen ill and no one here knows about it. The training we engage in here, is quite intense
ASHANTI’S POV.“You have just two hours to clean this bathroom.” The servant who leads the way into the bathroom says as we take a stand at the center. Today is day two of my punishment and not only am I starving because the last time I had a meal was about twenty-four hours ago, I feel vindictive b
ASHANTI’S POV.The world is fading in and out of focus, shades of gray, as I follow the servant along the hallway with her words still ringing in my mind.“…you’ve been summoned by the Lycan King…”I am one piece of fear forged into being.News about the jewelry must have reached his ears and he has
ASHANTI’S POV.“Alpha Reagan asked you to stop working?” Tessa asks, pausing in her tracks and turns to look at me with her eyes wide open, nostrils flaring in shock. I calmly nod my head and exhale, stopping in my tracks as well. We are on our way to the cafeteria to have dinner.“Yeah.” I lean aga
ASHANTI'S POV.I can still feel Alina’s fingers wrapped around the fabric of my shirt, strangling me as I walk into the bedroom. With a sharp inhale and my eyes closed, I close the door behind me and the darkness behind my eyelids is a welcome relief until the memory of her face forces itself into m
.REAGAN'S POV.I didn't get any sleep last night for two reasons. The first being because Ashanti told me she served men along with the other girls at night and the second because I'm excited about her showing up for training today.The former reason has been bugging me all day and night, but there
“Please. I'm no celebrity.”“It's been a while since we last saw each other.”“Uh… when you say it like that, one will think it's been a month or more, but it's been just three days.”“That still hasn't stopped me from missing you.”What the fuck!My right leg presses forward but I force myself to s
ASHANTI'S POV.“You will do no such thing.”Those words still send chills down my spine every time they replay in my mind. Those were the words Alpha Reagan said when Kyle offered to walk me home from training. He openly objected and the silence that spread throughout the hall when he said that almo
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.
