Chapter 0240

REAGAN'S POV.

“Good morning Alpha.” A chorus greeting from the guards and servants I summoned almost makes me trip as I take the last step of the staircase. I look at them all, shake my head and walk on.

“Thank you.” I say, once I'm standing In front of them. “I summoned you all to tell you something very important. From now on, Ashanti will be residing at the penthouse on the last floor of the building. For the guards, you all are responsible for keeping her safe and locked in the penthouse.

Mind you if she manages to escape by any means, I will not take it lightly with any of you. Ashanti must not leave that penthouse. Is that understood?” All the guards nod their heads in understanding as they give me a chorus —“Yes Alpha”— response “Good.” I murmur and turn to the maid. “And for you, Lizzy, you are responsible for serving her meals, bringing her clothes and providing her with everything she needs at any time of the day.”

“I will serve her diligently, My Lord.”

“You should.” I exhale. “That said, your duties begin now. I want guards stationed at her door every second of the day and you are to report to me if anything goes wrong with her. And also, treat her with respect. She's your future Luna.”

“That will be done, My Lord.”

“Good. That will all.” They all lower their heads in deep bows before dispersing to commence with their various duties. I draw in one last breath before walking out of the house.

Now I'm heading to my office to talk with Alina who's probably already waiting for me right now.

************************************************

“Good morning Alpha.” The guard who opens the car door greets from the side with a bow.

“Good morning, Kane.” I reply, stepping out and I'm not surprised to see Kyle waiting for me outside.

He too bows and greets me and I reply his greeting with a curt nod as I approach him. “Did you get her like I asked?” I say, referring to Alina.

“Yes. She's waiting in your office.”

“Good.”

“What did she do?” He asks with so much concern in his voice that I stop walking and turn to face him. He looks worried and alarmed that his sister might have done something outrageous to me again. I breathe.

“I swear to God Kyle, Your sister will be the end of me! Can you imagine she told your father about the pregnancy?” I divulge and Kyle's eyes widen in horror. I calmly nod my head.

“No, she didn't.”

“She did.” I start walking again and he falls in step with me. We are now going into the building and as usual, everyone around is bowing and uttering greetings to both of us and all we can do is nod in their directions to acknowledge them. When we get into the private elevator, I turn to him again. “He called me this morning. Said we needed to talk.”

“Oh God, Alina! I have no idea why she's so stubborn.”

“Stubborn, she is. But I'm going to show her I'm way more stubborn she could ever be.”

“My father is a tough man, Alpha. If he knows, it means he must have already told my mum by now who has in turn told her close friend and that's how the news will spread throughout the pack in less than no time. We are not ready for the chaos this is about to cause.”

“No, we are not!” The elevator dings and the door opens. We both step out and I face him. “That's why we have to find a way to solve this issue immediately. I'm going to marry Ashanti no matter what.”

“You will!” He gives me a gentle pat on my shoulder. “I'm sure you want to speak with Alina alone.”

“Yes I do.”

“Alert me if you need anything.”

“Got it.”

Another gentle pat before his hand falls off and he walks away. I heave out an exasperated sigh and walk in the opposite direction. The guard stationed at my office door opens it up and bile churns in my stomach when I peer into the room and spot Alina comfortably seated in the sitting area, waiting for me.
