NovelEnglishASHANTI'S POV.
"Oh..." A little exclamation leaves my mouth when Ryan gets into the back seat withwhile Sheila sits shot gun.
She's so mad at me. We've not exchanged a single word to each other since we had that little fight yesterday and I want it to stay that way. Because I feel like I'm going to lose my cool and give her a proper soclding if she tries to speak rudely toagain.
"You good?" Ryan inquires in a calm tone. I freeze on my seat. My brows rise to my hairline as I give him a surprised look.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDid he just ask about my well being? "I uh... Yeah. I'm good." "Good" he says, buckling his seat belt. When we're all settled in and our bags are put in the car, the driver gets in and we hit the road. I take that as the perfect opportunity to bury myself in my thoughts.
When mum called to give us the signal to cback home, she said the coast was clear, meaning Alpha Reagan is convinced that I'm not with her. Once we go back to the Blue diamond Pack, I'll have to start my life from scratch. It's going to be hard and I know I'll have many melt downs along the way, but I'm strong and resilient and I know I will make it. Especially since I have my mother by my side.
For Alpha Reagan, I'm going to try my best to forget the man. Yes, I love him.
God I love him so much that it hurts, but live is not enough.
I've been through so much just being by his side. I don't want to keep living that kind of life.
"Are you sure this is what you want?" A deep voice interrupts my thoughts, makingtremble as I snap out of reverie. I look ahead, thinking it's the driver who asked the question, but it couldn't be because his eyes are focused on the road and it's just odd for him to have the one who asked the question because we've not really exchanged many words with each other since we embarked on this journey. The only person left is Ryan.
I turn to him.
He's looking atwith expectant eyes and that's when it hitsthat he's the one who asked the question.
Since when did Ryan start caring about me? "Did you... Did that question cfrom you?" "I believe so." "Oh..." Another soft, quiet exclamation leaves my mouth.
He shockseveryday.

"You're the Lycan King's fated mate and by the default the Lycan Luna of the entire werewolf and Lycan world. Are you sure you want to leave all that behind? You'll be pretty much an ordinary person if you stay with us." "I don't mind living as an ordinary person, Ryan. Besides I've been doing so all my life and to tell you what, it's a lot more peaceful. There's only problems and hardship on that high seat and I want none of that anymore." I explain, trying to keep the bravest smile on my face. He simply nods his head and says.
"I see..." Then looks away from me.
The ride continues in dead silence and I'm grateful for that.
Ryan might be younger than I am, but he intimidatesto the core. I'd rather drown myself in my thoughts than have a conversation with him. At least my heart doesn't threaten to hop out of my chest when I'm thinking random things.
"Only an idiot will do what you're doing right now." Sheila speaks from in front. I nearly evaporate from my seat when she looks behind, shootinga scornful glare. "Yes. I juts called you and idiot because that's what you are."
I open my mouth to speak but on second thought, I decide not to. I seal my lips and lean back against the an backe 1 е chain When she sees that I'm not going to say anything to her, she looks back in front and I calmly shake my head. With time, I'll teach her a lesson just like I did with Rhea.
