REAGAN'S POV.“Thank you, Jared.” I tell the guard who opens the car door for me to step out. Once I'm out, I start heading straight to the main door of the building where my office is. My next plan is to have a meeting with the elders who were on my side the last time we held that meeting where Ali
“No such thing will happen.”“Do you even care about the fact that you've lost a child? Do you even…”“That's enough!” I angrily cut him off and look at my guards. “Take him away.” I give the order and continue my way into the building.“What?” He asks in total disbelief as the guards close in on hi
ASHANTI'S POV.The moment Alina's father ordered for the doors to be locked, I knew something was going to go wrong, but I didn't think it was going to be this serious. I'm being accused of poisoning and concrete evidence has been found on me. If Alina loses her baby, a murder charge will be added o
REAGAN'S POV.“You called.” Kyle announces the moment he walks into my office. I stop pacing and face him. The conversation I had with the elders a while ago has left me in a very bad mood.My heart is heavy and strained. I have very few people on my side and one of them is this man standing before
KYLE'S POV.Everytime there's a gathering, my sister cooks up something that will ruin the mood and get people into danger. She's so good at this and I hate her so much for it. On my way home, my mother called me, wailing and screaming about how Alina had lost the pregnancy and also commanding me t
KYLE’S POV.“I'm all ears.” Her soft voice comes through. I clear my throat and adjust on my seat again.“Um… I uh…” The back of my neck heats just as the thought of how she'd react after I say what I want to say. It's not a very pleasant thing and I can only hope she doesn't get too upset. My hand
ASHANTI'S POV.My eyes snap open and I squint up at the early morning light peering through the small window hanging above on the other end of the wall. It appears I spent the night on the floor where it smells like ice and metal and dirt. My flesh is numb from all the cold that has sipped into my b
ASHANTI'S POV.The moment the guard is out of sight, my eyes travel back to the tray sitting on the floor below. My stomach rumbles at the side of the dishes. I am famished, but there's no way I'm putting any of that into my mouth. My mind travels to Alpha Reagan and I curse him again for not markin
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.
