Chapter 0048 ASHANTI’S POV. I’m still struggling to steady my breaths as I walk into the training arena. My scalp is prickling from all the pulling that girl did on my hair. If Lisa had not interrupted, breakfast at the cafeteria would have turned into a fight show because I had no intention of letting those girls bully me. I was ready to strip them all naked if I had to. My eyes are hovering all over the premises and it’s until I look at my wrist watch that I understand why it’s so empty. It’s just a few minutes after seven am. The guys will start filing in after seven thirty. Sighing heavily, I walk over to the seats and drop my bag on one of them. The next person to join me is Delta Kyle. He’s beaming at me as he comes my way “Hey there.” He greets casually and I stand up, smiling at him. I should bow down and greet him but he has warned me several times not to do so. He even playfully stung my forehead with his middle finger when I tried to be stubborn one-day. “Good morning Delta Kyle.” “You’re here early.” “So are you.” I chuckle lightly and take my seat again. He sits by my side. I get a whiff of his delicious cologne and it makes me smile. He smells like power. “So tell me, how did last night go?” “Last night?” I ask, a bit unsure about what he’s talking about. There’s a soft look in his eyes that speaks a thousand words. were “Yeah. You called up to serve men again, weren’t you?” “Oh… that.” I clear my throat and steel my spine. Yes, I was called up again.” “So how did it go? I couldn’t come because I was occupied. Did anyone try anything funny with you?” His brows are raised as he asks that question. Like he’d go right to whoever and have him trashed properly if I said yes and called a name. I suck in a deep breath and smother a smile when Alpha Reagan comes to mind. He saved me last night.
He touched me. I begged in my mind for him to kiss. me. He offered me his blazer. The blazer I still have on my bed right now. I know I should return it. I will, but not now. “Ashanti …” Kyle’s voice jabs me out of my carnal thoughts. “You look lost.” “I’m sorry I zoned out.” “Did something bad happen last night?” “No, not at all. On the contrary, something shocking happened. Shocking in a good way, I mean.” “Tell me about it.” He looks invested in this sure if I should tell him about my encounter with Alpha Reagan or not. “Your secrets are safe with me, love.” A soft chuckle tumbles from my mouth. “It’s no secret.” “Then shoot.” “It’s just… it was shocking, you know. He was the last person I expected to show any interest in me, but he did. He took me outside, offered me his blazer and sent me to bed. Like you always do.” “Oh… I have no idea who you’re talking about, but he passed my gentleman’s check.” “Alpha Reagan. I’m talking about Alpha Reagan.” “The Lycan King?” He’s shocked. Even I will be shocked to hear that the Lycan King showed interest in a girl like me. “The one and only.” “Wow… that’s… Ashanti. You’ve found favour in the Alpha’s eyes.” And I’m being bullied for it! I flash him a tight smile. “No, I haven’t!” I deny it even though I know it’s true. There’s no other explanation for it. “I’m not going to argue with you. Just know you have. Alpha Reagan has never done that to any girl before. You are the very first!” Heat pools in my stomach, spreading up to my cheeks, turning them statement. You’re the very first. It means I’m special. Suddenly, a distant thought strikes my mind like a lightning bolt and I whip my head in Kyle’sExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
direction. “Delta Kyle, do you mind if I ask you something?” My heart is drumming hard as I make that request. What I’m about to ask is nothing serious, but it makes me nervous. “Not at all. Shoot.” “Do you have the ability to show the aura of someone else’s mate?” I ask calmly, carefully. I evaporate when he creases his brow and gives me a perplexed look “What?” He asks, shocked. My soul leaves my body. “I… I don’t understand the question.” I swallow dryly and prepare to ask again. Maybe I should tell him nothing and change the topic, but my curiosity is at its peak right now. I can’t stop here. I need to know if I’m going insane. or not everytime my wolf calls Alpha Reagan my mate. “I asked if you have the ability to make someone, especially an ordinary werewolf like me, believe you’re their mate when you’re not. Do high ranking Lycans have that ability?” I repeat the question, almost lifelessly. Delta Kyle looks at me for a while head. “You think I can make you believe I’m your mate when truly I’m not?” “I want to know if you can.” “You werewolves have a ridiculous mentality about us Lycans. Of course we can’t do that. No one has. the ability to do that. Imagine the chaos that will cause. The Moon goddess is smart enough to not let that even be a thing.” “Ah… I see.” I’m nodding my head in confusion. If that’s the case then, why do I… “If that’s what you are currently experiencing, then I believe you must have found your mate.” My breath gets caught in my throat and I almost choke. on my saliva. My eyes snap open as I look at him. Thank G**d something has distracted him so he cannot see the horror in my eyes. I’m currently experiencing that with Alpha Reagan. We can’t possibly be mates, can we? Even if we were, he could have said something. The mate bond is felt by both parties, not one. I must be losing my mind. “Alpha Reagan is here.” Kyle announces, rising to his feet. My head snaps to the door and my
entire body shuts down when I see Alpha Reagan making a grand entrance into the arena. The familiar delicious smell I always perceive in his.
