Chapter 0209


    ASHANTI''S POV.


    “Thank you very much for the meal, Ma’am Charlotte. It was delicious as usual.” I tell Charlotte


    who''s supervising the other servants as they clear the tes and left over food on the table. Alpha


    Reagan and I ate dinner in his bedroom like other days and right now, I''m so full, my stomach could


    burst.


    Eating with him is one of my best moments.


    “You are wee and I''ll make sure to let the cooks know that you enjoyed the meal.” She replies


    with her usual bright smile. I nod my head.


    “Please do that.”


    Momentster, the table has beenpletely cleared and Alpha Reagan who went to the bathroom


    to ease himself returns. My eyes are glued to his handsome face as he seats by my side on the


    couch. It''s been several hours already, but I''m still finding it hard to believe that we are now on good


    terms. He has returned to his usual sweet self and I''m beyond happy.


    “Why do you keep blushing? Never seen a handsome guy before?” He winks and I can''t hold my


    laughter in. I turn my head to the other side andugh hard.


    Who knew he had it in him to crack jokes?


    “I don''t remember saying anything funny.” I turn to face him again and there''s a yful look on his


    face.


    “That obnoxious question of yours is funny. Get over yourself.”


    “I should get over myself?” He asks, faking a gasp and a look of disbelief. “And that word,


    obnoxious, that is not a very nice word to use to describe your boyfriend.” He fakes a frown and


    when the word “boyfriend” settles in my mind, my world flips.


    Boyfriend!


    Did he just call himself my boyfriend?


    “Boyfriend?” I ask, stunned.


    “Yeah. That''s what I am to you?” He looks serious now. An unexpected chuckle tumbles from my


    lips. I palm my lips and wave at his face saying:


    “I''m sorry, I didn''t mean tough. It just sounds funny. You, the King of all Lycans, a boyfriend. The


    title sounds too cheesy for a man of your caliber.” I purse my lips together, pressing down the


    laughter that keeps threatening to burst out down my throat.


    “Aaahhh…” He quietly exims, backing away to give me a clearer look and folding his arms over


    his chest. “Is that so?” One brow is raised.


    “Well.” I shrug. “It''s an honor to have you as my boyfriend.”


    “Say it like you mean it.” His voice and lips are tight as he gives that order. Still smiling, I lean closer


    to him and peck his lips.


    “My dear Alpha Reagan, it''s an honor to have you as my boyfriend.”


    “That was a very dry kiss.” Heins and I roll my eyes.


    “I think you should stop nagging.” His body shakes with softughter as he shakes his head.


    “You are something else.” I do nothing but blush.


    I missed this. I missed this so much.


    “So…” He takes a morefortable posture on the couch and I do the same. We are still facing


    each other. “Tell me, did you have other boyfriends before me?” He asks out of nowhere and I


    nearly choke on my spit. My eye brows shoot up, forming an arch of astonishment. A palpable


    pause reverberates through my chest.

    Why does he want to know?


    I look at him.


    “Why do you want to know?”


    “No specific reason, I jus…” He shrugs his shoulders. “I just want to know. I''m curious.”


    “Ah…” I''m nodding. “Well… I had just one and his name was Conrad.”


    “Hmmm…” He mumbles under his breath.


    Conrad''s betrayal ys fresh in my mind, but unlike before, I don''t feel any pain. I feel like it didn''t


    even happen.


    “But it didn''t end well because he betrayed me.”


    “Betrayed you?” He asks calmly, his eyes gleaming with curiousity and concern. I calmly nod my


    head.


    “Yeah.”


    “How?”


    I purse my lips and contemte whether to tell him what happened or not. Rhea is already in a bad


    spot. Alpha Reagan already dislikes her enough and if I were to tell him that…


    Well fuck it!


    She should have thought of that before sleeping with my boyfriend.


    “He cheated on me with my sister, Rhea.” I blow the announcement. His jaw drops, eyes widen in


    disbelief.


    “No!” He says in a scream-whisper.


    “Yes.” I nod. “Not once, not twice… many times.”


    “How did you find out?”


    “I caught them pants down, in my sister''s bed.” I say without any care in the world. I feel like it didn''t


    even happen to me. There''s no iota of pain anywhere in my heart.


    “That''s awful!”


    “Tell me about it.”


    “What did he say his reason was? Please tell me you confronted him.”


    “Well… he said I never let him… you know… have sex with him and he didn''t like so he had look


    somewhere else and also, he knew about the fact that my sister was our father''s favorite child and


    uh… that she''d be the one to inherit throne and be Alpha when he''s no more. So, stupid


    Conrad thought it wise to switch from the daughter who had slimmer chances of making him a great


    man in the pack to the daughter who had greater chances.”


    “Oh, he''s a dog!” He sounds furious. “How dare he y such a dirty game? Does he think power is


    given to just anyone out there? The Moon goddess is not stupid.”


    “No, she isn''t. The day I found out about his affair with my sister was the same day Beta Ronald


    came to take Rhea and I.” I chuckle lightly. “Now, all his hopes of bing Alpha have been


    crushed. The poor thing.”
