ASHANTI'S POV. “Come in.” I call out when a knock sounds on my room door. Immediately, the door is pushed open, revealing Ryan who pokes his head in and looks around for a while before stepping into the room. I furrow my brows upon seeing the outfit he has on. A red T-shirt and black jacket over a
“So…” I say, closing the door behind me. “Sup?” I ask casually as I take a seat on a nearby sofa. He stays standing on his spot and shoves both hands in trouser pockets. The pained look in his eyes has intensified. He really looks like he's going to cry soon. “Remember I told you about the ongoing
ASHANTI'S POV. “Why on earth will she cut her wrist? Does she want to kill herself?” Alpha Reagan agitates as he paces about the outpatient ward we were ushered into when we arrived at the hospital. Selena is still in the emergency room and the man is nearly losing his mind with worry. “Did you tw
ASHANTI'S POV. “Selena!” Alpha Reagan calls in a tone depicting concern as he steps into the ward. I follow suit. He walks over to the bed to meet her while I stop in my tracks and watch their interaction from afar. Selena is sitting upright on the bed, sobbing quietly as Alpha Reagan perches by he
“Sure.” I reply dryly, with a nod. “Thank you.” He whispers with a smile and my heart jumps in my chest when he leans forward and plants a soft kiss on my forehead before leaving the ward. I stay frozen on the spot for one solid minute with my brain trying to process what just happened. Did Alpha
ASHANTI'S POV. I am speechless and completely dumbfounded as I engage in a heated eye contact with Selena who's smiling at me as though she just accomplished a mission she thought impossible. Wow! Just wow! She dissapeared for five years with no word and now she's back to take her place in not o
REAGAN'S POV. Several moments go by before I peel my eyes from the door Ashanti just exited. My head is spinning like a wheel in motion as I try to process the last few sentences she said before leaving. What did she mean when she said she won't get mad at me if I cuddled Selena? Did she just ask
ASHANTI'S POV. This is not how I imagined my first encounter with Selena would look like. I figured her pitiful state would make feel very sorry for her and give me more reasons to move on from Alpha Reagan, but I was wrong. After the heated altercation I just had with her in there and knowing her
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.
