CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT.ASHANTI'S POV.“And… sleeping beauty finally awakes.” A soft giggle escapes my throat as Tessa's voice fills my ears. I lazily sit upright and lean against the headboard, stretching my arms and yawning lazily.What a nap I've had.“Did I sleep for too long?” I slur with a raspy
“As if they respect me now.” I sigh and shake my head. “It's just another story that will die down soon.”“And who knows what next she'll say about you? It could be worse.” I smile and don't say anything.There's no need fighting Rhea or trying to prove my innocence to the girls who clearly dislike
ASHANTI'S POV.“I can't have you…”That phrase now lives rent free in my head. I'm trying to decode its meaning. I'm trying to understand what made Delta Kyle say that, but nothing makes sense.I would ask Tessa, but knowing how her mind works, she'll only try to romanticise the phrase, so I'd rathe
“You better get on your knees before the Beta shows up.” Lisa threatens and I fall to my knees. My entire body is shaking like I've touched a life wire. I have never been so scared in my life.Sex toys?Holy goddess. Beta Ronald is going to chew me raw.“Ma’am Lisa you have to believe me when I say
ASHANTI'S POV.I'm standing before the Alpha and Beta with my head bowed down. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that Alpha Reagan just said I didn't do what I'm being accused of. I've looked back at him several times, thinking he'll snap any moment and tell me to get back on my knees, but
I am am idiot.“That's left for me to decide.” He's still looking at me with dark eyes. He seems to see right through my mind. All the things I should say, but won't say, he seems to have read them all in my mind and his expression grows darker with each passing second. “Go back to your quarters.”“
REAGAN'S POV.Earlier today, she was crying at the field after she returned from training, but she wouldn't tell me what the problem was when I asked. A few hours later, I walk into Ronald's office and meet her crying on her knees while being accused of a crime I am very much aware she did not commi
ASHANTI'S POV.“Tessa, you know if it were up to me, I'd rather go for training without having breakfast. It's too early to start this morning on a bad foot with anyone and also, the thought of those girls glaring at or bullying me give me ibby-gibbies.” I complain to Tessa who stops walking and tur
“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.
REAGAN’S POV.“And I’m not comfortable with you living under the same roof with another woman.”Ashanti’s declaration burns in my mind as I take the elevator ride to the floor where my office is located. Heck, I’m not comfortable living with another woman under the same roof either. I’m not doing th
She knows all that talk about me staying here so I can practice more with my team members is utter crap. She knows Alpha Reagan is the only reason why I want to be here.“Alright honey. If you say so. But remember I’m just a phone call away. Do not hesitate to call me if there’s anything wrong with
ASHANTI’S POV.My heart sinks into my stomach when I hear Reagan’s car zoom out of the premises. I hate starting a fight with him, but with his recent behavior, I couldn’t help it. It’s annoying when he acts so possessive of me, but can’t decide if he wants to end up with me or his ex-mate who’s liv
ASHANTI’S POV.“Good day to you, my Lord Alpha.” Leonard, who’s still standing by my side, greets the disgruntled looking Alpha Reagan with a bow.“Good day to you, Leonard.” He replies with his deep voice laced with dark undertones. I guess he still dislikes seeing me with Leonard. He’s going to lo
He’s stolen all of my heart yet he has the guts to live with another woman in his chambers…Ashanti, now you are going off topic. Leonard’s standing right before you. Focus your thoughts on him and the conversation you are having with him.“I uh…” I stutter, pushing a few strands of hair that keep f
ASHANTI’S POV.“Congratulations to the top 5 contestants of today’s phase of the competition. You all created outstanding designs and deserve to be at the top. Let’s give a round of applause to these magnificent design teams.” The hall erupts with applause from the other contestants and I can't help
REAGAN'S POV. I don't know if Selena left like commanded her to before exiting the room because I didn't spend the night in my bedroom when I returned from my walk. It felt so wrong to go back in there and sleep on the same bed a few hours after a naked woman other than Ashanti had slept on it. Doi
