ASHANTI'S POV.
"Did you have a great time?" Leonard asks as we both make our way towards the main entrance door of the
Mansion. | look up at him and smile as | nod my head. Despite everything, these past four hours | spent with him
have been nothing short of fun. From taking a stroll along pavements illuminated by street lights, to eating street
food, playing games to win toys (We didn't win any. Turns out we both sucked at playing games) and him making
judging people's sense of fashion. He cannot stand anyone who doesn't know how to combine clothes and color
patterns to create a good outfit.
"What if you are mated to a girl with no fashion sense?" My question had made him twist his face in disgust as

"She would have to learn."
"What if she doesn't want to?" | had pursued.
"She would not have a choice on the matter."
"That's you being a dictator and a cruel superior, not a mate and that's toxic!"
"Ashanti, stop giving the moon goddess ideas. Drop this topic already."
And that had madehowl for the umpteenth time.
"Ashanti." Léonard's voice comes through again, dragging my thoughts from the past and reelingback to the
present. That's when | notice we are both standing right by the door, facing each other.
"Yes." | reply quickly. "I had a wonderful time, Leonard. Words cannot describe how much I'm grateful to you for
takingout tonight. | really needed this outing. Thank you for coming through for me."
"I had a great ttoo, Ash. If | didn't love my life, I'd say let's do this every weekend, but | know Alpha Reagan

he's the total opposite. And above all, he's really funny!
"You're right, Leonard." | say once I'm able to stop myself from laughing. "We can't do this anytsoon."
"Let's wait a few weeks before doing this again. Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Cool. You should go in now and get srest."

"Yes, Ma'am." He says,
demonstrating a playful military salute that makeslaugh out loud yet again. | give him a light punch on his
right arm and turn to the door. only hear his footsteps start to retreat when | unlock the door by typing the
passcode and step into the house. As | shrug off my blazer, the familiar scent of my henvelopesin its
warm embrace, makingsmile as | draw in a deep breath with my eyes closed. | can't wait to go upstairs,
shower and fall on my bed.
"You're back." A low, gravelly voice from the living room fills my ears and terror rakes its claws down my spine
when | look over and see Alpha Reagan rising from one of the couches in the living room
What the hell!
"Alpha Reagan." My voice is less than a whisper, laced with horror and shock. "What are you doing here?"
