CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-THREE.
REAGAN'S POV.
“Selena.” I shriek, unable to fathom the fact that she's standing before me right now. She has that pitiful look she used to bind me in her bonds in the past with and she's staring at me as though she wants to burst into tears.
“Alpha Reagan.” She responds in a low, shaky voice. “I'm very sorry for showing up here like this, unannounced. You are probably tired from work and you need to rest. I hate to interrupt that, but the issue that brought me here is very severe.” She explains in the most sorry tone I’ve ever heard in my life. I squint my eyelids and crease my brows as I shoot her a confused look.
“What severe issue could that be?”
“I can't fall asleep.”
“Huh?”
“I… I've tried several times, but I can't bring myself to fall asleep in that bedroom all by myself because everything feels very strange.”
“What do you mean you can't fall asleep because everything feels strange? You've lived in this Castle before, Selena.”
“But I didn't have to sleep all alone in a massive bedroom. We used to share a bedroom and you made sure to tuck me in and cuddle me every night before I went to bed, that's why I never got scared in the beginning.” She argues firmly and I let out a heavy sigh of exasperation.
This girl will be the end of me pretty soon.
She's trying to guilt trip me into letting her come into this bedroom and spend the night with me.
“If it won't be too much trouble, can I please spend the night in there with you?” She says, pointing into the bedroom and I turn to look behind to make sure it's my bedroom she's referring to.
It actually is.
I quickly whip my head back in her direction and shake my head in denial.
Her eyes widen in shock.
“You… you want us to go to my bedroom instead?”
“Yes.”
“But…”
“Come on.” I cut her off and walk past her, leading the way back to her bedroom which is located at the other wing of the floor.
My initial plan was to let her stay on the floor above, but Kyle advised I let her stay on the same floor with me so she doesn't feel like I'm trying to distance myself from her.
Even now, I'm only going to tuck her in because I don't want to seem too obvious that I don't want to have anything to do with her. Kyle said to keep draw closer to me so she can let her guard down and let something slip. That's what I'm trying to do.
