Chapter 0041 Oh my God! My heart drops into my stomach as my eyes meet with Delta Kyle’s smiling face. “Delta Kyle!” I call in shock and the smile on his face widens. “Oh, hi there!” He waves at me cheerfully as I calmly approach him. My heart is doing backflips in my stomach. “Good morning.” I force a smile. “What are you… I mean… I wasn’t expecting to meet you out here.” I force a chuckle and he grins. “I can see you’ve forgotten what we discussed the other day.” I try to search my mind for what we discussed,but I’m blank, so I stare at him blankly. The look on your face tells me you’ve forgotten.” I sink my teeth into my bottom lip, shyly kicking my right foot behind my left heel. I can’t even meet his gaze. “You always look cute Ashanti. Be it when you are embarrassed, annoyed, excited or even shy, like now.” Blood sips out of my veins and rushes up to my cheeks. I can feel them getting red. This man is good with words. I don’t even know what to say to him so I simply lead the way to the training arena. Tessa’s words try to replay in my mind but I lock them up in a bottle and fling far into the sea of ++15 BONOS Chapter 0041 embarrassment that’s threatening to drown me right now. He doesn’t say anything else to me throughout our walk and I couldn’t be more thankful. The first thing I’m greeted with when I walk into the arena is Alpha Reagan’s grim expression. I look into his eyes to check something and my heart. leaps when I notice it’s still there. Raw anger. He’s still as angry as he was last night. Does he have problems? Why is he always angry? My greeting falls on deaf ears. I rush over to the seats to keep my backpack and join the others before things get worse.
“Ashanti.” Nelly whispers as she approaches me. “Nelly, good morning.” I don’t know why, but I’m whispering as well. “Can you see the nimbus clouds hovering above us? It’s going to rain cats and dogs here today. Alpha Reagan is in a very foul mood.” “I noticed. And I’m scared.” I truly am. That grim look on his face looks and feels like everything bad scary. Today is one of those days that make me wish I s i p p e d practice. “Just try as much as you can to follow his instructions and you’ll be good.” +15 BONOS Chapter 0041 “I’ll do just that. Thanks for the heads-up.” I pick up my water bottle and we both head to the group of men waiting for the Alpha’s orders. “By the way, what’s Delta Kyle’s deal with you?” she asks out of nowhere. I stop in my tracks. “Hmmm?” “He seems interested in you.” She winks and runs away before I can deny it. Through out training, her words and that of Tessa are drilling holes in my mind. Torturing it with possibilities I do not want to accept. This can’t be. He can’t have feelings for me. I’m a nobody. “Ashanti.” I look up and it’s him. Delta Kyle. He’s everywhere. At the H r m, here at the training center, in my dreams, in my thoughts! Holy goddess! “Yes.” “How about we continue from where we stopped yesterday?” He throws his head in the direction ofContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
the fighting circle and I immediately understand what he’s talking about. He wants us to have a duel. +15 BONOS Chapter 0041 I flash him a tight smile. “Sure.” “No.” And objection reverberates through the hall. I try to beat back the maddening nervousness enveloping me in it’s embarce as Alpha Reagan steps in front of me. His scorching gaze is burning every inch of my face. “I’ll be the one to have a duel with her today.” His eyes dart to Delta Kyle before settling on my face again. They are glinting with genuine seriousness. He is not bluffing. My eyes beg him, his eyes tell me his mind is made up. The entire hall is dead silent. Even the wind is afraid to make a sound. So this is it. The day I die.
