ASHANTI’S POV.

When I arrive at the bedroom today, I meet Tessa. She rises from her bed with fat smile on her face as

she watches me slum on the wool carpet before her bed. I’m sweating and so I don’t want to sit on the bed till I have showered.

“You look cheerful today.” She remarks and my

smile widens.

I AM cheerful today.

Training was so fun, I didn’t want it to end. Nelly and the guys are best people in this pack.

“Because I had a great time today.” I reply.

“I see…” she folds her arms over her chest, giving me the spill-it-all, look. “So tell me what happened.”

“Nothing much. It’s just that the guys aren’t mean. They are kind and friendly, especially the Delta.”

“The Delta trains there as well?” She looks

shocked. I nod.

“Yes.” I want to tell her about the fact that he even tied my hair in a ponytail, but I decide against it because I know she’ll take things too far.

To be honest, I’m still greatly shaken by Delta Kyle’s friendly attitude towards me. The last thing I expected from high-ranking officials of this pack is

for them to be warm and friendly, but Delta Kyle has proved me wrong,

“I’ve never been opportune to meet him face to face, but I hear he’s very good looking. Is that true?”

A shy smile spreads on her face,

“You heard right.” I say nodding my head, Kyle’s handsome face flashes in my mind. The cute way his lips curve when he smiles and his deep,

charming, brown eyes. I smile as well. “He’s very cute. He’s very handsome and so are the other soldiers there.”

“So… do you have your eyes on any of them?”

“No!” I shake my head.

That is not a lie.

The guys are very good-looking and they seem really nice, especially the Delta, but I’m not interested in any of them. I don’t think I’ll be interested in any man any time soon. Not after the betrayal I got from my ex-boyfriend, Conrad. “I don’t have my eyes on any of them.”

“Why not?”

“Because all guys do is break hearts. They’ll make you fall for them and later cheat on you with someone you least expect and the next thing you know, your life is ruined. So, no. I’ll pass on relationships.” I tell her firmly.

Just talking about it makes me furious.

My father did the same thing to mum. He cheated on a woman who loved him unconditionally and

had a child out of wedlock. As if that was not enough, he bought in his other family into our house and made my mum leave.

Men are cruel!

Relationships are a no go area for me from now on.

“Wow. It seems you’ve been through a lot in the hands of men.” I rise from the carpet and pick up my backpack.

“You have no idea!” I start walking towards the bathroom. She doesn’t ask any more questions about my experience with men and I thank my stars because I’m not ready to divulge any of that

information to her.

Cute men my foot!

Have eyes on any of them, my a s s!

All men can go to hell for all I care.

REAGAN’S POV.

“Did you keep and eye on her like I instructed?” I ask the guard standing in front of me. He’s one of the men training at the combat arena and because I couldn’t stop thinking about Ashanti, I had to instruct him to monitor her while she’s at the

training center.

Yes. I know every form of stalking is bad, but my hands are tied.

“Yes, Alpha.”

“Tell me everything I need to know.”

“She’s very diligent with her training. She arrives early, she’s friendly and interacts with everyone and the guys like her very much, especially Delta Kyle.” I stop typing on my laptop and clench my fist. I grit my teeth in irritation as I stare blankly at the word document on the screen in front of me.

The guys like her very much, especially Delta Kyle.

Anger makes it to the forefront of my conscience. each time that sentence replays in my head.

My chest is tight with jealousy. I can not even deny the feeling.

“You can leave.” I dismiss him with my eyes closed. I hear his retreating footsteps and finally the sound my office door opening and closing. He’s gone. I snap my eyes open. They are burning with fury.

The guys like her very much, especially Delta Kyle.

F u k i n g t ar d s!

I’ve been restricting myself from going to that arena for training because I want to have minimal interaction with Ashanti, but having her get

popular among the guys in there doesn’t sit right with me.

It was about time I started training again. Let’s see who will have the audacity to touch or like her in

my presence.
