“What the hell are you talking about?” She looks taken aback by the fact that I know she was involved in the plan to set me up for killing those Alphas.“Don't try to feign innocence, Nelly. You were there and I know it. You attended all those little meetings Alina organized so you all could plan th
ALINA'S POV.For many months I struggled to get the attention of the Lycan King again to no avail. Ashanti had completely stolen his heart and was the only person he thought about all day. Nothing I did made him look my way, instead, my deeds only got him more enraged and pushed us further apart. I
I shrug my shoulders.“If you say so then.”“I'm happy for you. When the elders find out about this, they will advocate for Ashanti to be thrown out so you can take her place as Alpha Reagan's wife. It seems you'll finally get what you've been fighting for.”“That's exactly what's going to happen.”
ASHANTI'S POV.I’m still upset. My heart bleeds everytime my mind reminds me of the fact that Alina is pregnant with Alpha Reagan's child. Right now my place in Alpha Reagan's life is no longer certain. Soon, the elders will ask him to end our relationship and be with Alina instead since she's carry
“You don't have to do anything. Just sit back and let me handle this.”“And how exactly are you going to do that?”“I will. You have to trust me.” I shake my head in denial.“No. I'm sorry I can't. This is too complicated than you think it is. What I think is best for me to do right now is quit.” My
ASHANTI'S POV.“No.” I deny with my whole heart, shaking my head furiously. Tears burn at the back of my eyelids as I look at the man sitting in front of me. “No. That can't be true.” I rise from the bed and start pacing. “All this time you knew we were mates yet you didn't say anything?” My voice i
“Ashanti…”“You've never treated me as your equal. You are always the one charge. It's always you who decides when to move forward or take a step back according to your interests. Like when you had the issue with the elders, instead of communicating with me, you silently pushed me far away from you
REAGAN'S POV.I blink my eyes open and thick, searing pain courses through the back of my neck, causing me to wince as I struggle to keep my heavy, sleepy eyes open. Slowly, I lift my head and I hear my neck bones snap and the pain grows worse. When I look at the place where I'm seated, I immediatel
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.
