“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
ACHILLES' POV.Rhea.The sound of that name in the red girl's voice keeps ricocheting through my mind like a bullet. Irritation burns through me each time the image of her face flashes in my mind.She's Ashanti's sister. The one who has been causing troubles for her since the day they both set foot
RHEA'S POV.“Why won't anyone tell me what's going on?” I ask the guard who ushers me into a dimly lit room, but I get no response from him. I was napping in my bedroom when armed soldiers barged in and asked me to follow them. They escorted me out of the Harem quarters and brought me to the castle
RHEA'S POV.“Get on your feet and start moving!” The guard who walks into the room barks, but I'm too weak and stunned to move.…you will be punished for your crimes…Those words are still ringing in my mind. The wild look in his eyes spoke a hundred unspoken promises to me when he said those words
RHEA’S POV.“Alina.” I call in a shaky voice. She offers me a crooked smile that doesn't reach her eyes.“If you get hanged in public, that will be better than spending the rest of your life in a prison cell. Don't worry, I'll pick up from where you left. I'll have you in mind every time I want to m
ASHANTI'S POV.I've been pacing about since the moment I got into this bedroom. My mind is restless, my heart is beating too fast, and sweating out of nervousness and confusion. I have no idea what's going on. When Beta Ronald got me out of that dungeon cell, I thought he was taking me to the execut
ASHANTI’S POV.Alpha Reagan accompanies me to the hallway that leads to Rhea's cell. I have tried to get him off my back time and again, but he's adamant to stay behind. He wants to go with me to the cell and hear what I have to talk about with Rhea.“You know what you're about to do is invasion of
“Ashanti, leave.” She sneers and her voice is a shaky mess.“Not until you tell me why you hate me so much. What did I ever do to you, Rhea? Why did you always have to treat me with so much hatred and disdain? Why?” I ask bitterly and all hell breaks loose.“Because you always thought you were bette
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.
