Chapter 0026

ASHANTI’S POV.

“What was that about yesterday?” I have been muttering that question since I woke up this morning.

I have searched my mind for answers, but I’ve still not gotten any clue.

Since the day Delta Kyle set his eyes on me, he has been nothing but nice and sweet and friendly to me. He helps me train at the combat training center, he walks me to and back from the center and last night, he did something I didn’t imagine he or any one else in this pack would ever do for me. He took me out and bought me dinner. My mind is in shambles right now, trying to make sense out of all these acts of his.

Why does he like me so much? Why does he even like me in the first place?

“This is killing me.” I murmur under my breath. and leave the bathroom. Tessa already left a while ago to start her cleaning chores and I’m all dressed up to leave for training. I’m about to haul my backpack from my bed when a knock sounds on the room door, followed by the sound of the door creaking open. I abruptly turn around to see who it is and the moment my eyes fall on the elderly.

**t, Lisa, my heart starts beating fast.

Lisa being here can only mean one thing.

I’m in trouble.

I join my hands together and fidget with them.

“Good morning, Ma’am Lisa.” My voice is no more than a whisper as I offer her that greeting. She doesn’t respond. She looks around the bedroom with something like disgust on her face before settling her gaze on me once more.

“No training for you today. You are on the list of girls who have to serve the men tonight. You have to undergo training throughout the day so you don’t get there and mess up. Follow me!” She swivels and bolts out of the bedroom. My jaw is sitting on my kneecaps and my heart is swinging in my ribcage as I follow her into the hallway.

I will be serving men tonight.

I follow Lisa along the long hallway with my hands. cold and trembling uncontrollably. My fingers twitch with nervous energy. The unexpected revelation has sent shockwaves through my entire being.

I will be serving men tonight.

I follow her into a s**s room that’s packed with other girls who I guess will be serving the men tonight as well. I freeze in my tracks and swallow. dryly. I don’t like how this looks.

“Alright, gather around everyone.” The murmuring in the room stops and the girls all form a circle around Lisa. I take a nervous step forward to join them and the girls standing by my side shift far apart from me, casting me disgusted looks like I smell.

What is their problem with me?

“As you all know, you girls will be responsible for serving the Lycan men tonight and these ment include soldiers, high ranking officials and maybe even the Alpha, if he decides to join. So, it will do.

each and everyone of you good if you are on your best behavior tonight as you serve them however they want. Note that these men will be returning from a long day of work, therefore, your duties will be to make them feel relaxed. You have to massage them, serve them wine, sit with them and even dance for them if they want. You have the entire day. to learn how to do these things and you had better not mess up while on duty because one complaint about you from the men will be tantamount to severe punishment. I hope that’s understood.”

“Yes Ma’am.” A chorus reply comes through.

It is not okay.

This is wrong. I am not interested in acting like a bimbo for any man tonight.

“That said, you can all begin with your training. There are s**ts around to teach you everything you need to know. Feel free to ask them questions. My right hand flies up in the air before I can event stop myself.

“Yes Ashanti. Your hand is up.”

“Can I be tasked with doing something else, like cleaning work? I’m not feeling too well and I don’t.

think I’ll be effective in serving the men.” I ask as calmly as I can. Lisa’s face darkens as she takes.

long strides towards me. The girls all turn their attention to me as always.

S**it!

“Firstly, No, you cannot get cleaning work instead. Secondly, no one gives a s**t whether you are comfortable with this or not, you are going to do it anyway. Thirdly, these are not my orders, they come from the higher ups and except you want to challenge them, you better shut up and do as you’ve been told. Lastly…” She sucks in a deep breath and steels her spine. “I will be watching you closely. One mistake and you’ll be done for!” She proceeds to walk past me, hitting my shoulder intentionally. The other girls start laughing at me.

“You have a talent for inviting trouble to yourself, don’t you?” One of the girls asks, giggling. I roll my eyes and look away from her.

“Why did she have to fall in this group? She’s going to bring us nothing but bad luck.” Another girl laments and all I do is shake my head as I take a walk around the room, looking at the various tasks I have to accustom myself with all day.

This is f**g ridiculous.

I take a step forward and the next thing I feel is a body crashing into mine and the impact throws me off balance. Before I know it, I’m on the floor on my butt and the entire room has erupted with laughter. I look up to see who just pushed me and every bone in my body melts when I see Alina smiling wickedly

at me.

“You are not feeling too well?” She scoffs and stoops on her knees to level me on the floor. ” There’s no place for weak wegewolves in this H e m and so if you’re claiming to be unwell, you need to do more work so you can become stronger.”

She slurs. I fight my urge to roll me eyes at her. She picks up a lock of my hair and runs her fingers.

through it till the end, her eyes glued to my face. Then she gives me a wicked smile. “I have no business with serving other men, but when I saw. your name on this list, I couldn’t hold myself back from coming over.” She leans closer. “I’m here to make your life miserable for the next ten hours.”

She doesn’t look like she’s bluffing. This is the end for me.
