Chapter 0008 ASHANTI’S POV. “WOW!” I exclaim in awe as I walk into the enormous hall that looks nothing short of a banquet hall. The rest of the girls are filing in and the entire atmosphere is filled with sounds of chatters and chairs screeching on the floor as the girls pull out seats to sit on. All the H a r e m girls were instructed to come into the hall so that the Lycan King, Alpha Reagan, could address them. I don’t know how I feel about seeing him for the second time especially since the mate issue keeps ringing in my mind. “That’s the girl who walked in on Alina and the Lycan King yesterday.” I hear a girl whisper to her group of friends. I turn to look and the scornful glares they’re giving me set my body on fire. I’m not even surprised to see Rhea among them. Her usual wicked smile is plastered on her face. “Ashanti is her name.” Another girl adds. “I hear she’s the daughter of Alpha Anderson of the Mystic Diamond Pack.” The girl looks at Rhea. She’s your sister, isn’t she?” Rhea shakes her head. “Step-sister!” She corrects the girl, enunciating the words and they all burst into laughter. “She doesn’t even look like the daughter of an +15 BONOS Chapter 0008 Alpha. She looks so local and s u p i d. She’s not going to last a week here.” “What are you looking at?” Qne of the girls asks. when they notice I’m looking at them. I clear my throat and look away because I don’t want to get into a fight.

My blood pressure is rising and anger is making its way to the forefront of my consciousness. “Ignore them.” Tessa’s voice comes through and I can feel her hand wrapping around my wrist and pulling me away from the girls. “They are not worth it. They’ll only cause more problems for you.”
“Just one punch!” I say between my teeth. She shakes her head and pulls me to a front-row table. of four. “Sit down and take in deep breaths. You’ll feel better.” We both pull out our seats and sit down and I do as told. It works like magic. I don’t feel angry anymore. My eyes keep hovering over everything in the hall.

She’s not only a Lycan, but she’s a warrior.” “A warrior!” I ask aghast as my eyes stay glued to Alina who’s smiling proudly as she marches forward. “Yes.
