ASHANTI’S POV.

“Ashanti.” I hear my name and immediately, I press the power button of the ipad in my hand and look in the direction of the call. My eyes fall on Alpha Reagan who’s on his feet, putting on his suit jacket and that makes me instantly understand that it’s time to go. Disappointment washes through me like an ocean wave, almost carrying away the good memories I share with his precious iPad, but I hold on tight to them.

I calmly place the ipad on the table and rise to my feet. I didn’t even finish my movie.

“Yes, Alpha.” I reply calmly. He picks up his phone. and suit case and heads over to the sitting area.

“It’s time to go.” He says looking his wrist watch.

“I figured.” My voice is almost inaudible. My eyes are glued to the ipad. I don’t want to separate with any of them yet.

“I can see you are having a hard time parting ways. with the ipad.” He smiles at me. I nervously scratch my neck and shake my head in denial.

“That’s not the case.” I lie. He chuckles lightly and picks up the ipad from the table. Confusion spreads through every fibre of my body when he stratches it towards me.

“If you promise me it’s not going to get you

distracted from your duties around here, you can keep it.”

“Oh no. I… I can’t accept that. The girls will chew me raw if they find out I got that from you.” I take a step away from him and his sweet temptation.

1 already have enough girls breathing fire down my neck because of him. I don’t want things to escalate.

And Alina…

Oh Alina.

“You hurt me with your words Ashanti. You’re denying a gift from me not on your own accord, but because of what people will say. Does that mean you take into consideration what people say or think about you?”

“Around here, I have to.” I’m still scratching the back of my neck. He chuckles lightly and picks up

left hand, shoving the ipad into it.

“You want it. I’m giving it to you, so take it.”

“Are you sure this is okay?”

“You think I would be the Lycan King if I didn’t do the right things most of the time?” He smirks at me. Proudly. I simply chuckle and shake my head. There are many subscriptions in there and I’ll make sure to keep them working since they are being used now. Enjoy.”

“Thank you.” I flash him a small smile as I look at the beautiful gadget in my hands.

“Just don’t try to use it to contact your father.”

There’s a stern frown on his face. I shake my head in denial.

“I will not.”

And I mean it. I appreciate him for letting me have this, so I will not disrespect his command.

“I’m taking your word. That said…” He stops and lets out a small sigh. My heart melts when his lips curve into a smile. The butterflies in my stomach take flight. “Thank you for staying with me for these few hours.”

“You are uh… welcome. Eventhough I have no idea why you asked me to stay.”

“You mustn’t know everything.”

My breath hitches in my throat when he closes the little gap between us. There’s barely any space between us. Our bodies are almost touching. I look up into his eyes and drown in their charm. I gulp hard when his

thumb gently caresses my cheek.

“Do you know what I want to do right now?” His voice has gone from gentle to husky. So hot, I almost pee my pants.

G o d, just his gaze is getting me aroused.

“I won’t know until you tell me.” I whisper back to him.

“I want to take you to my chambers and spend another wonderful night with you.”

“What’s stopping you from doing that?”

“My sanity.” He whispers, throwing my mind in a confused state. I crease my brows, giving him an intense look.

“Your sanity?”

“Yeah.” I shudder when he puts a few strands of hair behind my ear and gently caresses my cheek again. “Ashanti.” His voice hugs the letters of my name in the most romantic way.

“Alpha Reagan.”

“After the time we spent together last night, my sanity has been hanging by a fine thread. I spend another night with you and that thread will snap. If that happens, things…” He looks away from me.

His Adam’s apple bubbles as he swallows. My eyes follow his gaze around the room till they meet mine again.

I so badly want him to complete that statement.

“Let’s get going.”

What?

No!

He just changed the topic. Like always!

“You didn’t finish your statement.”

“It’s nothing important.”

“I highly doubt that!” My voice is a bit harsh. He smiles in amusement and shakes his head. He gives me a gently kiss on my forehead and says;

“Let’s go.” He turns and heads to the door. I follow him, only because he’s the Alpha.

He just left me on suspense.

An agonizing one.

B a s t a d.

I am frowning like a disappointed kid as he leads. the way outside where I see two cars parked in front of the building.

“Logan.” He calls and a man rushes towards us with his head bowed down.

“Alpha.”

“Take her to the H re m quarters.”

“Yes, Alpha.” The man turns to me. “After you, Miss..” He points the way leading to the black car that leaves my mouth hanging.

It’s a f**g Rolls-Royce.

He’s sending me home in a f**g Rolls-Royce.

“Good night, Alpha Reagan.” I bow down to him trying to keep my composure despite the war going on with my nerves within me.

A f**g Rolls-Royce.

He simply nods his head.

“You take care. See you around.”

“I will. Thanks.” I walk to the car and get in. My eyes look out through the passenger seat door to see him once more.

My mind is in a jumbled state when the driver gets in and ignites the car engine. My eyes stay on Alpha Reagan as the car drives forward till I can’t see him again.

I will not be getting any sleep tonight.
