“What?” That’s all I manage. The woman nods.

“Yes. I don’t know how you did it, but you’ve gotten. lucky. After breakfast, meet me in the training.

room. You need to learn how to serve him specially tonight.”

I want to scream until my lungs collapse.

“That said, see you soon.” She walks away, leaving me completely dumbfounded and trembling within.

“She’s spending the night with the Alpha?” A girl screams from a corner.

“How’s that so? Isn’t she supposed to be punished for what she did yesterday? How then is she spending the night with Alpha?”

All eyes are on me. I can feel scorching gazes on every inch of my skin. I prop to my seat, staring blankly into space. I am unable to wrap my head around what just happened.

I am to spend the night in the Alpha’s private chambers.

Is that a good or a bad thing?

“Ashanti, this is huge!” Tessa says, putting her hand on mine. “I told you he was interested in you, didn’t I?” I open my mouth to talk, but then I realise I’m at loss for words. My head is empty. My mouth is dry. I close it. I breathe. “You seem pretty shocked.” I want to scream “Yes”, but my voice is nowhere to be found. I simply nod my head. She takes my hands in hers. “It’s okay to be shocked, but just know this is good.”

I want to tell her “no”, because this will make the girls hate me even more, but like I said before, my voice has left me behind.

“Oh boy, Alina will be furious when she hears this.” At the mention of the name Alina, all the nerves in my body go in complete disarray. My bones tremble.

She’s going to kill me!

She asked me to stay away from Alpha Reagan, but now I have to spend the night with him. It’s over.

“What will Alina be furious about?”

They say speak of the devil and he will appear. I evaporate into nothingness when my eyes land on Alina who is marching into the cafeteria.

“Ashanti will be spending the night with Alpha Reagan today. The servant said he personally requested for her.” No one else but my sister gives that report. It takes seconds for Alina to get to where I’m seated.

“Is that true?” She asks. I can feel her indignation in her words as the land on me. It’s burning a hole into my chest, but I refused to be intimidated by her anymore.

Maybe.

Just maybe I should take Tessa’s advice.

Use Alpha Reagan’s interest in me to my fullest advantage. It won’t hurt.

I drop my spoon and rise to my feet giving her a confident look.

“What do you think?” She’s taken aback by my response. She probably expected me to fall on my knees and cry while saying no, but she won’t be getting any of that. It was about time I stood up to this girl.

“So it’s true. You’ll be spending the night Alpha Reagan today.’

“You heard right.”

“Decline.”

“You know that’s impossible.”

“Not if you tell a lie. Tell him you’re unwell. Come up with any sort of excuse to make him choose someone else.” She orders. I calmly shake my head

in denial.

“I’m afraid, I can’t do that.”

“Yes, you can.

“I won’t.”

“What?” She asks.

tight smile.

total disbelief. I flash her a

“I won’t. Because I just so happen to want this as well and Alpha Reagan is not an idiot. He cannot be easily fooled. Lying to him will put me in trouble.”

“Ashanti, if you pull through with this, I’ll teach you a lesson you will never forget.” I click my tongue and take a step towards her. She backs away, looking at me in awe. She must be wondering where I got this audacity.

“Then I’ll brace myself for that, because I’d rather deal with your wrath than that of the Lycan King’s.

Excuse me.” I step aside and intentionally bump into her shoulder as I walk past her, making her

understand in the most technical way that I’ll not be pushed around by her anymore.

I know the big trouble I’ve just gotten myself into, but I’m ready to fight. I won’t let them take me under. I am afterall, an Alpha Heir.
