NovelEnglishREAGAN'S POV.
"Welchome, Alpha Reagan." Greetings pour in from the guards standing around the premises the moment I step out of the car. I reciprocate their greetings with a smile and a curt nod towards the men who return to their normal, rigid postures. Alina, who got out through the other side of the car, joinsand the satisfactory smile on her face makeswant to burst with anger.
Just like I promised, I have brought her to my chambers but I will not be spending the night with her like she thinks. I'd rather sleep with Ashanti in the dungeon cell than spend the night in the sroom with Alina. I have never done so before and I never will.

The exaggerated grin on her face grates on my last nerves and only the Moon goddess knows how much I want to yank my hand out her hold and...
Oh thank goodness! I've been vindicated by a phonecall.
The buzzing of my phone in my suit jacket persists and I calmly take my hand out of Alina's grasp, giving her an apologetic look, I do not mean one bit.
"I have to take this." Her face falls.
Tss...
The audacity! I take out the phone from my pocket and my entire body hums with excitement when I see Kyle's non the caller ID. I don't know why, but lately, Kyle's phone calls givejoy. I quickly swipe the answer icon and press my phone against my ears, making sure to take a few steps away from Alina's prying ears.
"Yes... Yeah I had to see someone so I stepped out... At home... Why, what's wrong?... Oh... Oohhh..." I turn to look at Alina whose eyes are trained onand she still has that frown. I chuckle and avert my gaze from her. "I'll be right there!" I end the call and walk back to her.
"Who was that?" She asks in a serious tone. I ignore the question and slide the phone back in my pocket before training my gaze on her face again.

I turn to leave but she's quick enough to hold my hand, keepingin place. I shoot her a surprised look. "Is anything the matter?" I ask softly, despite the anger raging in my blood. What I want to do now is seize my hand from her hold, bundle her into one of these cars and send her away to her parents' house, but I have a plan and I can't ruin it by losing my temper now. "What now?" I ask, trying to keep my voice low. She pouts her lips as if she were a child and brings her face closer to mine. From my peripheral view, I can see my guards looking stunned by our interaction.
They must be shocked to seebringing Alina here after everything that has happened between us. "Aren't you going to givea goodbye kiss?" I can't hold it in. I let out a frustrated groan and peel her fingers off of my arm.
"I'll see you when I get back." I turn to the guards standing around us. "Take Om her inside." I order before hopping back into the car we just alighted. My driver gets in as well and we hit the road. The phone call I got was from Kyle and what he toldhas my heart almost beating its way out of my chest because of how excited I am.
******* ****************
When I get into my office, there are five people waiting for me. Three of whom I know and two, I don't. Kyle, Tessa and Ronaldlare on their feet, pacing impatiently while the other two guys are seated with terrified looks on their faces. They are young men, just like myself and I'm starting to wonder why they are here.
The guys quickly rise to their feet and bow toas I approach the sitting area. I reply the chorus greeting with a simple hod and turn to Kyle whom I expect to do the explanations. "What's going on? Who are they?"
