Chapter 189


    ASHANTI’S POV.


    “What was that about?” I mutter furiously as I walk back to the changing room with a frown on my


    face. The guy clearly said Delta Kyle was waiting for me in that particr room, but when I got


    there, there was no sign of Delta Kyle. All I saw was dishes of food lined up on a table with their


    delicious aroma inviting me to go have a taste. I had to close my eyes and will myself to leave as


    fast as I could before I got tempted.


    If I dare to eat before going to fight, I’m going to puke my guts out on one of my opponents heads. I


    don’t think any of them would be pleased to have my undigested food all over their


    bodies.


    I sit on a nearby stool and tap my feet against the floor impatiently. The moring crowd from


    outside is an indication that thepetition has begun. Soon it’ll be my turn. I’ll have to go out there


    and fight in the presence of a crowd, bearing in mind that I don’t have to


    disappoint Alpha Reagan. Let’s hope I don’t die of anxiety before I’m called out there.


    Sighing heavily, I rest my back against the wall and pound my fist against my chest, trying to calm


    my raging heart beats. I take small, even breaths to help steady my mind.


    “It feels strange seeing you in this state.” A low voice speaks from the door. I snap my eyes


    open


    and turn to see who it is. A crease forms between my brows when I see Kyle walking into N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    the room with a smile on his face.


    How dare he smile after ying such a prank on me?


    I haul myself from the seat and cast a dangerous re.


    “You think pranking me amidst all this tension is fun?” I don’t hide my annoyance. He stops walking


    and furrows his brows.


    “Pranking you?”


    “Yes. You sent someone to tell me to meet you at the Premium Residence, but when I got there you


    were nowhere to be found. Do you know how far it is from this stadium to the Premium residence?


    You made me waste the energy I was supposed to be saving for my fight!” I shout


    at the


    top of my voice. His face splits into a smile so wide, so beatific, I wonder if he’s misheard me.


    My temper rises even higher. “You think it’s funny?”


    “As a matter of fact, yes, I think it’s funny. I didn’t send for you. You should know I’d never y such


    a stupid prank on you. Not on a day like this.” His voice is deceptively soft. The smile on his face is


    gone, but he isn’t frowning either. He just looks very serious.

    I blink several times before focusing my gaze on him again.

    “What do you mean you didn’t send for me? The guy clearly told me you wanted to see me.‘


    “Ashanti.” He calls and walks closer to me. “Believe me I didn’t prank you. Someone else must have


    thought it I’d be funny to mess with you before you go out there to fight. On a day like this, I won’t


    ask you toe me, I wille to you, like I have now.” My confusion has spiraled out of control.


    If he says he didn’t prank me, then he didn’t. I trust him.


    Now, the question is, who did?


    It couldn’t be Tessa and Kelly. They would never do a thing like that to me.


    It can’t be Alpha Reagan either. Heck, I’d rather believe the possibility that my father would y


    such a prank on me, not Alpha Reagan.


    “Hey…” Delta Kyle’s gentle call snaps me out of my thoughts. “Don’t overthink it. Everything is


    alright. I’m here.”


    That’s right. He’s here. It doesn’t matter if someone tried to prank me. What’s important is that he


    hase to see me before I go out there.


    “Yeah. You’re right.”


    “How do you feel?”


    “Nervous and confident.” I tell him and he calmly nods his head.
