NovelEnglishASHANTI'S POV.
Alpha Reagan didn't cto seeagain after the little misunderstanding we had yesterday and and right now, I'm scared.
I'm scared because I have no idea what he's up to or if he's even up to anything. As the hours tick by, I try to keep my body and mind calm. I try to stay convinced that he's doing everything he can to getou of here, but once in a while, my paranoia kicks in and I find myself wondering if what the warden said yesterday was true.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIs he really taking care of Alina right now? What if he believes that I truly tried to poison her? What if he has really chosen her over me? Have the elders and subjects pressured him so much that he has decided to give into their demands? A frustrated sigh escapes my lips, followed by a gentle sob.
He's the Alpha. He's the Lycan King. He should be able to getout of here. He has the power to do so. Why isn't he coming to savewhen I need him? The warning he gave to wardens yesterday fell on deaf ears because another set showed up and bulliedalmost all night. I've still had nothing to eat or drink. My throat is very dry and sore and I'm so weak, I can't even stay on my feet when I stand. I'm shivering from the cold and at the stshaking with hunger. My stomach is an empty hollow pit with little men digging its walls with dig- axes and shovels.
Even if he truly couldn't getout of here, He should have at least showed up to comfort me- Alone.
But no, he didn't. He hasn't. He won't.
Everythe comes, he's accompanied by an elder.
At the end of the day, Alina won. She has succeeded in shovinginto a hole I'm never going to crawl out of. I cannot fight the elders and her family from here. My sister Rhea is in prison right now, serving a life sentence for a crshe did not commit alone because she's an ordinary werewolf and no one cares for or supports her and that's exactly the fate that will befall me, except I think I'm going to get a more gruessentence because there's murder involved.
A violent sob escapes my lips as tears fill my eyes. My heart is heavy as though a rock has been dropped into it and I cannot stop myself from breathing hard.
I don't want to die now. Not like this. Not for a crI did not commit. I am not an evil person and I do not want the world to perceiveas one. I don't want to die and have people only talk evil, dirty things aboutbecause I know from the depth of my heart I didn't live that kind of life.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGoodness! This pack means bad luck to me. These people will never leavealone as long as I'm beside Reagan. That's why I want to quit. To run away and leave all this mess behind me. I'm sure he can survive without me.
The sound of footsteps jabout of thoughts, but unlike yesterday when I'd hastily rise to my feet and go over to the barred door to wait for whoever it is to arrive, I stay seated on the floor, mostly because I don't even have the energy to rise up. I'm too hungry and weak to stay on my feet if I stand up. The sound of the footsteps grow louder as the person approaches my cell and once the person finally arrives, I look up to see who it is. My soul walks out of my body when my eyes fall on Alina. My heart tears from my chest and drops into my abdomen. My insides feel queer and it takesa great deal of courage and energy to form the word...
"Alina!" She chuckles.
"The one and only."
"What are you doing here?" I ask as though I don't already know the answer to that question She's here е to taunt the to rub her victory in my face and lectureabout how she was destined to be with Alpha Reagan.
"Did you honestly think I'd let the chance of coming to see you in this see elasks with raised state slide by?" she asks brows: My eyes drop to her stomach and Tessa's words replay in my mind.
The child she was carrying did not belong to Alpha Reagan. She lied about its paternity just to causem problems between us. She killed the child and setup so that Alpha Reagan would hateand take pity on her. Alina is a nefarious, attention-seeking bitch! X
