REAGAN'S POV.
ONE WEEK LATER.
All the search parties we dispatched have returned with still no news of Ashanti's whereabouts. No one they spoke have seen or smelled or even heard about Ashanti and I'm begining to get worried. Even if she was in hiding somewhere, someone could have seen her, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm starting to to lose my brain cells.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"King." I call in the most frustrated tone ever with my eyes closed. "I'm begining to get scared. This isn't normal." "If she were dead, we could have felt it. The sadness, the depression, the snapping of the mate-bond like we felt with Selene, but we haven't and that means she's still out there. Somewhere. Probably alone. We have to keep searching." King encourages and that touches my soul.
She's out there, alone.
Ashanti's a tough girl. She has impeccable fighting skills and needs absolutely no one to protect her. Any rogue who comes her way will be dead before they draw in their second breathe. But I'm worried. She's alone. I'm not saying she needsto protect her, but I want to be the one protecting her.
She's my mate. She was fated to me. The Moon goddess madeher guardian... Speaking of the moon goddess... could this really be her way of punishing me? Oh sweet mother, if that's the case, have mercy on me. I have learned my lesson. "Have you?" King chimes in again.
"What do you mean by that?" "Do you have any idea how much I'm holding myself back from berating you for putting us in this situation?" "Why hold yourself back. Just do it." "It's not worth it. We've already lost her." "No, we haven't!" "Well is she here then?" "Oh drat! Go lie down in a corner!" I shut him out and lean back against my chair, groaning.
This is getting out of hand.
"Alpha Reagan." A voice cuts through the atmosphere. I look up to see Ronald walking up towith a gloomy look on his face.
"Yes Ronald." "The men are ready. All we need are your others to have them dispatched." He reports calmly. My gaze drops to the table and another sigh escapes my chest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ronald." "My Lord." "Do whatever you please." "Please don't tellyou're losing hope." I look up at him and shake my head.
"I could never." "Good. We'll dispatch the men immediately and keep you updated." "Thank you." He nods and exits the
office and I proceed to drown myself in my thoughts again. Need Ashanti back in my life. I swear I'll lose it if I don't find her.
"You should have thought of that when you hesitated to claim her King chimes in again and I hastily rise to my feet, growing like an angry bear. "Right, thank you, King. Thank you very much for the constant reminder." "I'm happy you've learned your lesson. When next you see her, you'll treat her better!" I shut my mouth and stay still because he has said nothing but the truth.
After this experience, I'm going to treat Ashanti like the queen she nextst the is when next st my eyes on her! X
