Chapter 0047 ASHANTI’S. 1 didn’t get any sleep last night. I kept tossing on my bed, thinking deeply about my encounter with Alpha Reagan with his blazer lying right beside me. I still have no idea what happened. One minute I was in the lounge and the next I was boiling under his gaze and he was saying and doing insane things to me. Goddess! As expected, I’m getting strange stares from the girls as I walk into the cafeteria. I’m alone today because Tessa had to leave early and I only came here because I’m famished. If I go for training with this type of hunger in my stomach, I’m going to pass out during warm up. “Is it true what I’m hearing?” And here it goes. The gossiping us about to start. I calmly grab a plate and go to get my food. Sometimes I wish I couldn’t hear as much as I can. Our heightened sense of hearing as werewolves is sometimes more of a curse than a blessing. “That Ashanti danced with Alpha Reagan last night.” A blonde haired girl announces as I go to get my food. Even the chefs in charge of sharing the meals stop what they’re doing and gape at me like “Alpha Reagan as in Alpha Reagan, the Lycan King?” “Yes! He even warded off some guy who tried to touch her. He seemed pretty interested in her.” That did not happen! My hands tighten around the edges of the plate as I head to a nearby empty table to eat. “No, he did not!” The other girl is shocked. “Yes he did. I saw it with my own eyes. She danced with him!” “No, I did not!” I shout out and immediately regret that action because everyone is now looking at me like I’ve lost my mind. I look around nervously and let out a heavy sigh. “I did not dance with Alpha Reagan.” My tone is much calmer this time. “Did you or did you not leave the lounge with him?” The girl who began spreading the rumour asks,
training her wicked gaze on me and almost immediately, a group of girls storm into the cafeteria and march over to where I’m seated. This is not good at all. “Ashanti. What was last night about?” “I have no idea what you are talking about.” I try to put a spoonful of soup in my mouth but one of the girls angrily whisks the spoon away from my face and it drops to the floor with a loud continues clatter. I look up at the girl who now has her arms crossed over chest. “Are you seducing the Lycan King behind our backs?” “I’ve done no such thing.” “Then how do you explain what happened at the lounge last night? Why he choose you of all people to entertain him?” “If you were at the lounge last night, you would know that I did not dance with him. I didn’t not entertain him in anyway!” “But you left the lounge with him, didn’t you? He took you outside, into another room. What did you guys do there?” “He took her into a room?” The murmuring starts again. I look around and everyone is staring at me expectantly. Calmly, I rise to my feet, caring less about the hunger that’s gnawing my intestines. I’d rather pass out during training than stay here and get devoured by these vultures. “Answer me Aurora!” 2 “I’m not obliged to do that. I don’t answer to you. What Alpha Reagan and I did in the room is none of your business.” the girls scoffs in pure disbelief. “How dare you?” I sigh and try to step away but her other friends grab me by my shoulders and hold me still. “Where do you think you are going?” One of the girls asks. I don’t bother to look at her. My eyes are trained on the girl in front of me who thinks she’s interrogating me. “What do you want, Lizzy?” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“I want you to tell me what Business you have with the Lycan King. He would never be attracted to a tramp like you, so tell me what you did to make him call you out of the lounge yesterday.” “I did nothing.” “Liar!” She screams at the top of her voice. She’s fuming with rage and I have no idea why. And what the hell does she mean by Alpha Reagan would never be attracted to a tramp like me? I’m not a tramp! “It’s obvious you have nothing reasonable to say to me. If you don’t mind, I’d like to take my leave now.” I turn around to leave but the vicious girl grabs a chunk of my hair and pulls me backwards. I let out a painful scream as my hands fly over to release her grip on my hair. “What the f**k do you think you are doing!” I spin around still fighting with her hand in my hair. “Let me go!” “Not until you tell me what I want to hear!” She drags me away from the table, with her friends following suit and I’m still fighting to release her hand that’s almost uprooting my hair strands from my scalp. The others girls are cheering her on. “You sneaky piece of garbage! How dare you go close to Alpha Reagan.” “Let me go!” I finally peel her hands of my hair and push her away. She staggers backwards, almost losing her balance and I’m breathing hard as I look at her. “Did…did you just push me? Did you just defend yourself against me?” She asks in total disbelief and I’m baffled at the fact that she thinks I don’t have the right to fight her back. “Stop this madness!” A loud voice instructs from the doorway. We all turn to look. It’s Lisa. “Lizzy and the others, get to your seats and for you, Ashanti, it’s either you sit down and eat your food or you leave the cafeteria.” I bolt out of the cafeteria without a second thought. Deep down in my heart, I know this is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s more to come and I have to be ready for it!
