Chapter 0225


    REAGAN''S POV.


    The moment the car door is opened for me, I step out of it and stand perfectly still. Every inch of my


    skin is taut with tension, fraught with feeling. Pressure is building in my chest, my heart is pounding


    louder and faster and harder. A gust of of wind ps me across my face as though punishing me for


    my actions. Sirens are spinning in my blood as I walk into the house. When I get to the living room,


    it takes 5 years to ascend the staircase, 15 more to walk to my room door and I''m a million years


    old by the time I get into the bedroom. Blood pauses in my veins when I spot Ashanti wide awake


    and sitting on the bed, probably waiting for me. I nearly turn on my heels and run away.


    “Babe.” She calls in a worried tone as she slides down from the bed andes over to meet me.


    “Is everything alright? Why did Kyle call you over?” She asks with searching eyes and the concern


    in her voice breaks my heart into a million pieces. Without saying a word, I slip my hand around her


    waist and pull her closer to me. My chin rests on her head and I breathe in the scent of her hair and


    kiss the side of her head. With my eyes closed, I wrap my arms around her, squeezing her against


    my chest.


    Everytime our bodies touch, it''s like a burst of fire and electricity that ignites my bones in the most


    amazing way.


    “Reagan.” She calls in a small voice, looking up at my face. “Your silence is scaring me. Tell me


    what happened.”


    Alina shes in my mind and I close my eyes and shove every image and thought of her over a cliff.


    The right thing to do now is tell Ashanti what I just found out, but I''m not ready to have that


    conversation with her. I don''t want us to fight tonight.


    “Nothing that can''t be handled. I already spoke with Kyle and Ronald, we''ll meet in my office


    tomorrow to discuss more on the issue.” I lie smoothly, shing her a small smile. The worried look


    on her face fades, but the look in her eyes tells me she''s not very convinced by my story.


    “Are you sure that''s all?”


    “Yes, I am.”


    “Babe.” She pulls out of my arms, her gaze not leaving my face. “I understand that you''re the Lycan


    King and you deal with things that go way above myprehension. However, I want you to know


    that you can talk to be about anything that''s bothering you. I''ll always be here to give you advice


    when I can, okay?”

    “Yes, ma’am.”


    “I''m serious.” She shoots me a stern re.


    “And I know that.” I nt a kiss on her forehead and look stare down at her gorgeous face. “Can we


    go to bed now? I want to hold you in my arms all night.”


    “We have to shower first.” She steps away from me and starts walking towards the closet. I groan in


    frustration and follow her in.


    I promised myself not to touch her tonight, but I don''t think I will be able to keep that promise after


    seeing her body.


    ************************************************


    The next morning, I''m awoken by the sting ringing sound of the fixed phone on my nightstand. At


    the speed of light, I pick up the phone from the middle and hold it against my ear.


    “Yes, Charlotte.” I call her name because I know it''s her. She''s the only one who has ess to the


    line and she uses it to get in direct contact with me when I''m home and there''s an emergency.


    “Alpha Reagan, I''m very sorry to wake you up like this, but you need toe downstairs


    immediately.” The urgency in her voice makes my stomach roll. Liquid heat spreads through my


    veins and I''m hot and sweating as I sit upright on the bed.
