Chapter 89

Chapter 0089

As he walks on, there’s a bitter-sweet sensation pooling in my stomach and spreading throughout my entire body.

I am in Alpha Reagan’s arms, inhaling his fresh, clean cologne. That’s a dream come true for every girl in this pack. I’m elated to be in his arms, but at the same time, terrified, because of Alina.

The murderous glare she gives me as Alpha Reagan stepped out of the arena will live rent free in my head till I die.

I am finished.

When we finally get to the infirmary, a full body check up is carried out on me and my wounds and bruises are cleaned. They’ve even given me a bag of drip for energy and Alpha Reagan only stops.

insisting for a full body scan to be carried out when the doctor assures him that I have no broken bones or internal bleeding.

I keep thinking about Alina. She fought me with so much anger, that’s why it was impossible for me to win a single round. She was ready to dig her claws. into my face. She was ready to hurt me for real.

Goddess!

What have I gotten myself into?

“How are you feeling? Is the pain any better?” Asks Alpha Reagan as he sits at the foot of the bed, a few feet away.

I’ve been transferred to a private room.

“Yes it is. And almost all my bruises have healed.”

“Good. Good.” He looks at my face and sighs heavily. “I’m sorry.”

“Huh?” I ask, confused.

“I noticed she was getting out of control, but I didn’t think she would try to break the rules by attacking you the way she did. I should have stopped her sooner.”

“It’s okay. You don’t have to apologize. I’m fine.”

“Are you sure you’re fine?” His voice is a low whisper. His eyes are a strange shade of brown, crystal clear, piercing yet warm. He looks worried about me.

I prop myself up against the pillow and nod my

head.

“Yes. I am.”

“Ashanti.” My name sounds from the door. Both Alpha Reagan and I look to see who it is and I’m awestruck when I see Delta Kyle walking in, looking

very worried.

“Delta Kyle.”

“How are you feeling?” He walks to my bedside and

stands over me.

“A lot better.”

“Are you sure? No fever? No broken bones, no excessive bleeding?”

“None of those.”

“Thank G o d.” He breathes with relief. “Ashanti I’m very sorry for what my sister…”

“You don’t have to apologize on behalf of Alina.” Alpha Reagan cuts him off. The two men look at each other. “She’s going to do so herself.”

“Of course Alpha, she will.”

“Can I go home now?” I ask, trying to ease the tension between the two of them. Alpha Reagan looks back at me and shakes his head.

“No. You cannot. Your drip isn’t finished and you need enough rest.” He rises from the bed and straightens his shirt. “Kyle and I will leave you to rest. When it’s time for you to get discharged, a s e r t and driver will be here to take you straight to my chambers.”

My heart starts drumming when he mentions his chambers. Delta Kyle’s gaze darkens and he exits the ward, leaving Alpha Reagan behind.

“But I can’t go there directly from here.”

“And why is that?”

“I uh… I have to shower and pack a few clothes.”

“I believe I have a shower and clothes at my chambers.”

“Yes you do, but…”

“But nothing. Don’t make a fuss when they come to take you.” My heart careens out of control when he leans in and kisses my forehead. “I’ll see you soon.” He deciphers, tucking his hands into his trouser pockets. Palpitations crash my nervous system as I watch him saunter out of the ward like the g d he is. I spend an eternity staring at the door he exits, pondering in silence the meaning of everything he has done for me today.

What is going on between us?
