“Sure.” I reply dryly, with a nod.
“Thank you.” He whispers with a smile and my heart jumps in my chest when he leans forward and plants a soft kiss on my forehead before leaving the ward. I stay frozen on the spot for one solid minute with my brain trying to process what just happened.
Did Alpha Regan just give me a forehead kiss in front of his first mate?
What does this mean?
“Ashanti.” A soft voice calls my name, snapping me out of my reverie. I turn around and see Selena, smiling at me. “That's the name, right?” She asks calmly with her beaming smile lighting up the entire room and making it impossible for me not to reciprocate the smile even though that's exactly what I want to do.
NOT reciprocate her smile.
“Yes, it is.” I say, inching closer to her bed. “How are you feeling now?” I ask nicely, with my fake smile still on, but she doesn't respond. I watch in confusion as she eyes me from head to toe, before settling her gaze on my face once more. She still has that smile going but I can see right through it.
It's as fake as mine.
She hates me.
“You're not bad at all for my replacement. Even though you would've been perfect if you had blonde hair like mine.” She says in a condescending tone and her words jar in my ears like a huge church bell. The fake smile has faded and the look she's giving me is one of pure hatred and disgust.
“Excuse me?”
“I think you heard me right.”
I tear my gaze from her face and chuckle in disbelief. I can't believe what I just heard. When I look at her again, there's a no nonsense expression on my face and I'm ready to go bitch mode with her.
“What do you mean when you say I'm your replacement?”
She's a fierce one and I commend her for that, but if she thinks I'm the least intimidated by all what she just said to me, then she has no idea how wrong she is. If I could deal with Alina, then she'll be an easy cake!
“Is that so?”
“Don't say I didn't warn you when you get and find out there's no way out.”
“Oh…”
“Your time as my replacement in Alpha Reagan's life is over. Back your bags and leave, because I'm back and I'm back to take my place in my place in his heart, in his life and in this pack as a whole and no one is going to stop me!”
For some time now I’ve been asking myself what exactly is Selena’s plan. I just found out what it is.
