ASHANTI’S POV.

“Tessa!” I call the moment the door to the ward opens and she steps in.

“Ashanti.” She rushes over and engulfs me in a gentle, warm hug. I’ve missed her. I’ve missed her so much and I’m happy she’s here to see me. “How are you feeling right now?” She breaks the hug and sits down by my side on the bed. “I tried coming to check on you earlier today, but the nurses wouldn’t let me in. They said you needed enough rest.’

“No, I did not! That’s what Alpha Reagan assumed. But let’s forget about him. Please tell me news of what happened that hasn’t spread in the H**m.” “Are you kidding me right now? It’s everywhere!”

“Oh man!” I lament. “That is not good at all.”

“Some are saying you took drugs and got high so you’d have the courage to approach men and ask them for sex. Others say you were drugged by Hayley. There are so many versions of the story flying around.”

“Please don’t tell me any of them reach the point where I get gang-raped!”

“Are you doubting your H**m girls? Some say you won’t be able to walk for the rest of the month. I heard a few girls saying your parents will be coming to take you back home in a few days.”

“No!” I shout in total disbelief.

What is this nonsense I’m hearing

Why are these girls the way they are? They never cease to amaze me!

“It’s crazy out there.”

“I can’t believe them. Why are they all bent on destroying the little reputation I have left? What did I ever do to those girls?”

“Ashanti,” Tessa calls, taking my hands in hers. “I understand that their words about you can be disturbing, but don’t let them bother you. The most important thing is that you know the truth. Don’t let their words get to you.”

“I’ll try.”

“Good girl. Now, tell me the truth. There are so many stories flying around. I don’t know which is true. Please tell me a group of men didn’t sleep with you.”

“Well, that could’ve happened if Delta Kyle didn’t show up.”

Her hands fly to cover her mouth as she gasps in horror. I quietly nod my head. “I don’t have any memories of what happened after I drank the juice, but Alpha Reagan told me two girls dressed as ninjas to disguise themselves and dragged me into the private lounge where the men were waiting.

They stripped me of my clothes and were about to start when Delta Kyle suddenly showed up and stopped them.” Her mouth is wide open and her face is perched with permanent horror as she listens to me explain things to her. “I would’ve probably been dead by now if that had happened.”

“Ashanti, who the hell drugged you? Was it really Hayley?”

“Yes. I got high the moment I finished drinking the juice she gave me and the toxicologist also said they found orange juice in my system which contained the drug.”

“Wow! That lying, disgusting, daughter of a b**h! How dare she!”

“I don’t think she did it on her own accord. I can bet my life this has got to do with Rhea and Alina.

They must have threatened her to do this. I don’t know why, but I just feel that way.”

“You can never know, Ashanti.”

“She was so…” My words are cut short by the sound of the door opening. Tessa and I turn to see who it is and she immediately bows her head when Alpha Reagan walks into the room. My heart starts beating fast.

“Good morning, Alpha Reagan.” We both greet in unison, except, Tessa is bowing and I’m not.

“Good morning. You may lift your head.” He tells Tessa who obeys. My body heats up when he keeps his gaze plastered on my face as he approaches the bed I’m sitting on. “How are you feeling today?” He inquires.

“A lot better.”

“Good. Hayley has been locked up, but no amount of interrogation so far has been able to get her to talk or call the names of her accomplices.”

“Her accomplices?” I ask with creased brows. He nods and sits by my side. He seems to have forgotten about Tessa being in the room.

“Yes. She could never have planned that all by herself. She had people she worked hand in hand with, but she refused to call names.”

“I’d like to see her. I want to talk to her.”

“I don’t think she’ll open up to you.”

“That’s not what I intend to do. I just want to ask her why she did it. Please. Don’t say no. I need to see her.” I have on my best puppy eyes as I beg him. He looks at me for a long moment and sighs heavily. My puppy eyes are still on him and I almost squeal with excitement when he nods his head.

“Fine. You can go see her when you get discharged.”

“Thank you very much.”

Tessa clears her throat and that gets my attention. Embarrassment washes through me as I look up at

her.

She saw that.

She f**g saw that.

“I have to go now. If by evening you’ve not been discharged, I’ll come check on you.”

“Okay. Thank you for coming.”

“Anytime.” Then she leaves. I look back at Alpha Reagan who has his eyes glued on me. I blush so hard, that my cheeks hurt.

I’m happy he’s here to check on me. I’m happy he’s so concerned about my well-being. It makes my heart beat faster for him. If he keeps up with this, I’m going to fall in love with him and I’m going to fall hard.
