Chapter 127


    ASHANTI’S POV.


    Because I’ve been here countless times already, I didn’t need to be escorted to Alpha Reagan’s


    bedroom. The only thing I received when I arrived was a formal greeting from the staff and a signal


    that the Lycan King was ready to receive me. I’m sure in their minds, they have. thoughts about the


    number of times Alpha Reagan and I have sex in a single night. They must be saying I’m very good


    at this if I’ve made him call me this many times. They must all think I’m a bedroom freak, but that’s


    theplete opposite of what I am.


    The guy hasn’t even gone past kissing me and I’ve never had sex with any man before. Some how,


    I wish their spections were actually true.


    Ashanti.” The King calls the moment he opens the room door. I sh him an enthusiastic smile, but


    he doesn’t reciprocate it. His eyes are hovering all over my body and his gaze has gone dark dark


    when he looks at my face again.


    “Hi.” I greet curtly. His brows furrow. His mouth twists in a frown.


    “What the fuck happened to you? Why is your hair disheveled. Why are they faint traces of bruises


    on your body?” The concern in his voice makes my heart melt.


    “I uh… it’s nothing.” I lie.


    “This doesn’t look like nothing, Ashanti. Tell me what happened. Did someone try to harm you?”


    “No. I went out for a jog earlier and while at it, I tripped and fell. That’s how I got the dishevelled hair


    and bruises. I’m fine. I promise.” I lie through my teeth, looking deep in his eyes and praying he


    buys it.


    I lied because telling him the truth won’t change anything. Like I said before, it’s only going to get


    Alina more upset, which is not a nice thing for me.


    “Are


    you sure?” The look he’s giving me makes me understand that he’s finding it hard to believe my


    words. I smile and step forward, my gaze never leaving his face.


    “I prom


    fine. I was careless. That’s all.” I try my best to assure him, but he doesn’t look too convinced. He


    still looks very grumpy as he steps from the door way for me to get in.


    “You should go get a shower already and I hope those bruises heal pretty soon because seeing you


    like this makes me want to kill someone!” I stop in my tracks and smile at him.

    “Is that so?” My voice is unusually calm and I’m biting on my lower lips and giving him a seductive


    smile. “You hate to see me hurt, don’t you?”


    “Ashanti. To the bathroom. Now!” He firmly instructs, pointing to the bathroom door at the other of


    the room.


    “Yes. Sir!” I give him a curt nod and march towards the bathroom, smiling from mr to mr.


    The concern in his voice. The angered look in his eyes. His reaction as a whole when he saw that I


    was hurt.

    He cares for me.


    I have a ce in this man’s heart.


    In the bathroom, 1 strip out of my clothes and I’m about to step Into the shower when he walks in.


    As usual, the bathroom walls close in on us and the room suddenly feels so small. I am very close


    to suffocating.


    “Are you here to watch me bathe?”


    “You just read my mind.” My eyes widen in awe. I crease my brows and tilt my head to the side,


    giving him a yful side eye.


    “You can’t be serious.” My body grows hot when he starts walking towards me. The look on his face


    is a very serious one. His eyes have gone dark with desire. Filled with lust. I can see how hard he’s


    holding himself back from kissing me. Eating me up. Fucking me.


    My question is…. Why is he holding himself back?


    “Joking isn’t really my thing, Ashanti and I’m sure you know that.” He stops walking. Our bodies are


    almost touching each other. I swallow dryly as I summon all the courage in me to enable me


    maintain eye contact with me.
