ASHANTI'S POV.“Tessa!” I call the moment the door to the ward opens and she steps in.“Ashanti.” She rushes over and engulfs me in a gentle, warm hug. I've missed her. I've missed her so much and I'm happy she's here to see me. “How are you feeling right now?” She breaks the hug and sits down by my
If only I haven't already.************************************************“Are you sure you'll be okay talking to her alone?” Asks Alpha Reagan as we step into the hallway that leads to Hayley's cell. I look up at him with a frown on my face.“Of course I can. Stop treating me like I'm some hopele
ASHANTI'S POV.THREE HOURS LATER.I wasn't able to talk to Alpha Reagan the moment I left the dungeon because he was in an important meeting so I was taken to a private lounge in the building to wait for him. I paced about, slept, watched TV, and lost my mind waiting for him.I need to talk to him.
“Ashanti.” I'm once more jabbed out of my thoughts by his deep voice. I drag my gaze in his direction.“Alpha Reagan.”“News just reached me that Hayley has been found lifeless in her cell.” His words sink into my ear and travel up to my brain for interpretation.Hayley.Lifeless.In her cell.Horro
ASHANTI'S POV.It turned out I was not hearing things or being delusional. “The Premium Residence?” I finally ask once we settle in the car. Alpha chuckles.“You've finally talked to me.”I was too speechless to say anything back there, that's why I'm just talking now. I don't get why he has to a b

ASHANTI'S POV.“Ashanti!” An excited voice sounds my name, waking me up from my slumber. I snap my head in the direction of the call and all the sleep in my eyes dry off when I see Tessa skipping over to meet me on the bed. Her eyes are as bright as a rainbow in a blue sky. The news of us moving her
“You girls want us to take your table?” I ask, confused. They girls nod in unison. I look around and notice that we now have the attention of the entire cafeteria “You don't have to bother looking for a table, take ours.”“And also…” one of the girls steps forward. “You don't have to go through the
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.
