“I understand. You have every right to feel that way.”“I don't think you understand. You've never been in this kind of situation, have you?”“You think I haven't?” He asks with a smile. I nod my head. “Have a seat.”“Huh?”“Sit down.” He says calmly and I do as told. He sits down as well and faces
ASHANTI'S POV.The population is more than I expected, the clamoring crowd makes my knees buckle and I struggle to stay on my feet as I walk to the circle drawn at the center of the field. There are voices calling out my name, cheering for me and others doing the same for my opponent. As I walk on,
She flew.She literally flew in the air. I had no idea I could do that.There's an uproar of cheers from the crowd and I can hear more people chanting my name and shouting out for me to get her.I take a step forward, but she shouts out the safe word, Red, and the whistle is blown.I just won the fi
REAGAN'S POV. Okay. I have one question to ask amidst all this chaos. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? One minute Ashanti was being led into the stadium by my Beta and the next she was being dragged away like she was some criminal. If Kyle had not stopped me, I would have jumped right into the stadium
ASHANTI'S POV.I'm sitting on my butt on the cold cell floor, leaning against the wall with my knees pulled up to my chest. I have been crying since I got thrown in here. My heart hurts, my head feels like someone is blowing a war horn in it. My face is completely drenched with tears. I raise my hea
“What about your duel opponents? Do you know anything about their food poisoning?” There's a serious look on his face as he poses that question. I'm too weak to speak. My head drops and I simply shake it with tears falling from my eyes to the floor.What's all this?“I don't.” I croak and sniffle te
ACHILLES' POV.Her completely dishevelled hair. Her red as a tomato and tear-drenched face. Her watery eyes and trembling lips. The overall hopeless look on her face. She thought no one was going to fight for her. Not even me. That reality makes my chest constrict with pain.What she doesn't know i
“I uh… we…” My anger tips over and I slam my palms against the table, causing a loud bang that echoes throughout the empty room and makes the girls jump in their seats out of fright“Stop stuttering and answer me! I want your voice and sentences to be as clear and concise as the ones you made when
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.
