“As if they respect me now.” I sigh and shake my head. “It’s just another story that will die down soon.”

“And who knows what next she’ll say about you? It could be worse.” I smile and don’t say anything.

There’s no need fighting Rhea or trying to prove my innocence to the girls who clearly dislike me. I plan to get away from here soon.

A knock sounds on the door. Tessa gives the signal for whoever it is to come in and almost

immediately, the door opens, revealing one of the m girls with a sealed box in her hand.

“Ashanti.” She calls, stepping into the room.

“Yes, Wendy.”

“Ma’am Lisa has an assignment for you.” She walks over to my bed and drops the box on it. I step down and look at her, confused.

“And what am I to do with this box?”

“You are to deliver it at the Beta’s house.”

“The Beta?” I ask, shocked. Eyes and mouth wide open.

“Yes. Right now. He needs it urgently, so you better get going right now.” And with that, she leaves the bedroom. I look from the box to Tessa, who seems to be just as confused as I am.

“That’s strange.” She

“She gets down from her bed and comes to meet me. “I wonder what’s in there.” Her eyes are hovering all over the box.

“It’s sealed. We can’t open it.” I rush to the vanity table and brush my hair and check myself before returning to the bed to pick up the box. “I better go and deliver it now.”

“Alright. Meet me at the cafeteria.”

“I will.” I lift up the medium sized box in my arms and exit the room. It seems to be half filled with items that roll and hit the walls of the box within as I move. I’m tempted to rip it apart and see what’s inside, but when I remember it’s for the Beta, chills run down my spine and I quickly dismiss the idea.

The walk to the Beta’s chambers in the castle takes almost thirty minutes and it’s walks like this that remind me of how huge this castle actually is.

Every high ranking official lives in the castle and each has their own chambers which is nothing short of a mansion.

D a m n this pack and their money!

When I arrive, I’m first greeted by guards who ask me to state my mission and when I tell them what I’m there for, one of them escorts me into the house where I’m met with another s e v t who

takes the box and I’m immediately dismissed.

“Be rest assured that Beta Ronald will receive his parcel. You can go now.”

Rude!

She didn’t even ask if she could offer me anything. I am thirsty as hell.

On my way back, as I walk along the sidewalk of the main path, a car halts beside me and ho n k s.

I turn to look, only to see Delta Kyle winding his

windscreen and playfully winking at me.

“Hello beautiful.” He greets cheerfully. Heat rushes up to my face, making it turn red.

“Delta Kyle.”

“Where are you going? Or where are you from?”

“I… I uh… I just finished running an errand. I’m on my way back to the H a r e m quarters.”

“Cool. Let me give you a ride.” He offers so easily and I look left and right to make sure no one is looking at us as we speak. When I see that there’s no one, I turn back to him and shake my head.

“I appreciate your kind gesture, but I’d rather

walk.”

“Ashanti, if I count to three and you’re not in the passenger seat of this car, I’ll come down and bundle you over my shoulders like a sack of potatoes and you know how embarrassing that can be.

One!” He starts the countdown, staring straight into my eyes. My teeth sink into my bottom lip as I look straight ahead of me, wondering if I should take on my heels or Get into the car.

“Two!”

S**t!

Get into the car it is.

“You are such a bully, you know that right?” I fire at him as I strap on my seatbelt.

“I can’t have you, so I’ll do anything I can to have these little moments with you.” I slightly back away from him, creasing my brows as I give him a confused look.

“What… what’s that supposed to mean?” He gives me a brief glance and a killer smile before looking back at the road ahead of him.

“Nothing important.”

But I know that’s a lie.

“I can’t have you…”

Those were his words.

Why would he say that all of a sudden?
