“What do you mean sway his feelings?” My brows crease as I ask that question. Her gaze drops to the floor and she heaves out a heavy sigh before locking her eyes with mine again.“Kyle. My dear brother. You couldn't be so blind and dense, could you?”“Talk or get out!”“What I'm trying to say is tha
ASHANTI'S POV.My eyelids feel like bags of salt have been placed on them.Heavy… so heavy, I can barely keep my eyes open as I walk to the arena. That's because I couldn't get any sleep last night. I kept thinking and turning like a rotisserie chicken on the bed, hoping the door would burst open an
ASHANTI'S POV.There's a sinking nervous pain in my stomach that I choose to ignore when I go back into the arena. Alina's words are replaying in my mind like an audio disc and no matter how much I want to deny her words, deep down in my heart, I know they are nothing, but the truth.Lycans are a pr
ASHANTI’S POV.“You’re here.” Says Alpha Reagan when I step into his bedroom. “I am.” I try to smile, but fail woefully. Everything he did and said to me at the arena earlier today is still fresh in my mind. I’m angry and sad and disappointed and confused all at once. My heart careens out of contro
"Did you disobey me? Did you come?” I'm panting so hard, I can barely answer."No. No. I promise."He doesn't believe me. With a growl, he pushes me onto my back on the bed and kneels over me, flattening one hand over my sternum and pressing down so I'm pinned.The other hand he slides between my l
ASHANTI'S POV.By the time I wake up the next morning, he's long gone. I am not surprised. The way he fucked me last night made me understand that the era of him giving me princess treatment is over. He was emtionless and hard. Too hard, but he didn't care. From now on, it's safe to consider myself
“Don't!” I warn when she tries to take off the robe. “Don't do that. Keep your clothes on.” She stops and looks at me, still smiling. “Who let you in here?” I ask coldly. She scoffs.“As if there's someone out there who has the balls to stop me from making my way up here.”“What do you want?”“I thi
ASHANTI'S POV.My eyes keep flickering to the wall clock. The time reads seven pm. I have not been summoned by Alpha Reagan which means I'll be sending the night here today. I don't know how I feel about that.Last night, sex with him was emotionless and almost brutal. I don't ever want to have that
“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
