Chapter 0170 ASHANTI'S POV.
By the tI wake up the next morning, he's long gone. I am not surprised. The way he fc kedlast night madeunderstand that the era of him givingprincess treatment is over. He was emtionless and hard. Too hard, but he didn't care. From now on, it's safe to consider myself a normal Harem girl who pleases him in bed.
With a heart as heavy as steel, I roll over on the bed and my eyes fall on the nightstand. There's a note on it. Quickly, I heave myself upright and pick it up to read. It's for me.
J "Report for training as long as you don't see this after one pm.
My eyes dart to the wall clock at the side and disappointment washes through my spine when the treads eight am. I have to go for training.

Sighing lightly, I put back the note on the nightstand and step down from the bed. Pieces of my heart are dropping to the floor as I head to the bathroom to bathe.
The moment I step into the shower, the tears I've been trying to hold back escape my eyes and pour down my face like a waterfall. Memories of all the sweet moments we spent together floods my mind and I can't help but ask myself the question, Why? Why can't he fall in love with me? Why can't I be accepted by him and his subjects and council of elders? Why did he pullso close to him only to pushaway as such at the slightest inconvenience? Why am I so unlucky when it comes to men? First it was Conrad. That jerk who cheated onwith my sister and now it's Alpha Reagan.
I'm not cursed, am I? I'm hiccuping by the tI step out of the shower and my eyes must have turned pink. My face is just a sad case. When I go into the closet to dress up, I don't wear Alpha Reagan's clothes like I used to, I wear the ones I cwith. When I go back to the bedroom, I'm shocked to see Ma'am Charlotte waiting for me.
"Good morning, Ashanti." She greets with her usual wide smile.
"Good morning, Ma'am Charlotte." I croak.
"I cto ask if I should serve you breakfast in here." I look around the bedroom and my eyes settle on the sitting area where Alpha Reagan and I have had several meals together. I can hear myself giggling gleefully in those memories. I close my eyes against the pain and dizziness in my head. I take a moment to collect myself before snapping my eyes open and saying; +15 BONUS "No, thank you. I'll eat breakfast at the H e m cafeteria..." Where I belong.
I say the last three words in my mind.
"Are you sure?" I give her and eager nod and proceed to leave the bedroom. My insides are somersaulting with nervous energy as I leave his chambers.
All I want to do is cry.
And die a little.
Because what I feel now is ten times worse than what I felt when Conrad and I broke up.

Last night was the worst night in the history of nights I've spent with Ashanti. If ke d her with no mercy and couldn't even bring myself to cuddle her afterwards. I have never regretted doing something so much in my life.
I was a total a s s.
Today again, during training, I didn't go easy on her. I was so cold and mean to her that she rushed into the toilet and burst into tears. That shattered my heart into pieces.

The elders will be needing a response fromsoon and if I tell them Ashanti is not the chosen one, they will urgeto choose someone immediately and if I'm not careful, they will choose for me.
