ASHANTI’S POV. “Ryan.” I call drowsily as I step into the kitchen. He looks up from his phone screen and the scowl on his face fades when he sees me. “You’re awake.” His low voice acknowledges. I scoff. “I wish that was the case.” My voice is a raspy mess. I drag myself towards the kitchen islan
ASHANTI'S POV. “Thank you.” I mutter to the guard who just opened my car door as I step out of the car. A small sigh escapes my chest as I watch the towering building in front of me. Today is another competition and I'm here with my team to compete like the rest of the designers around here. The co

ASHANTI'S POV. My heart still feels hollow because of what I experienced during the day, but my stomach is pretty full because Alpha Reagan made sure to feed me beyond my limit. I can't even breathe properly right now. “Are you still mad at me for making you finish your portion of food?” His smoot
ASHANTI’S POV. I'm smiling like an idiot as I step into the house. It's a miracle my face hasn't split into two halves. I'm so excited. My entire body feels giddy and tonight is one of those nights I know I won't be getting any sleep. “And she finally returns.” A voice startles me out of my thoug
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

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
