PopularNovelChapter 0059 ASHANTI'S POV.
I'm standing before the Alpha and Beta with my head bowed down. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that Alpha Reagan just said I didn't do what I'm being accused of. I've looked back at him several times, thinking he'll snap any moment and tellto get back on my knees, but he hasn't.
Beta Ronald is calm and composed, the look of bewilderment on his face is not something that's unnoticeable. Just like me, he must be wondering why Alpha Reagan believes I'm innocent. "Tellwhat happened." Alpha Reagan's deep voice cuts the through the almost eerie silence in the room. I tremble as I look up at him. The tears in my eyes and on my cheek have dried off. I must look like a ghost right now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Alpha." I call, not knowing where to start. My voice is a broken mess and I'm digging my nails into my palms out of nervousness.
"Don't be scared Ashanti. Tellthe truth." His eyes are trained on me, urgingto go on. Reassuringin the mutest way that he'll believe my words, so I swallow the snake in my throat and carefully narrate to them what happened up to this point. By the tI'm done, the two officials have their eyes glued onand I'm wishing I could just fall down and die right now.
"How do we know you are not lying?" That's Beta Ronald. His expression is as hard as granite. I flinche under his gaze. Alpha Reagan averts his gaze fromto him. "She's not." My brows almost touch my hairline as I look at the Apha with my eyes wide open.
That certainty. That confidence that I'm telling the truth. Where does it cfrom? I melt like butter when he looks back at me.
"From what I've gathered so far from your narration and the look of things, I have cto the conclusion that you have been set up. Now tell me, Ashanti." One step forward. "Has that got anything to do with why you were crying at the field earlier today?" "I... I wasn't crying at the field." "You dare tella lie? Are you trying to calla blind man? Or was what I saw on you face not tears?" My head drops.
"I'm sorry Alpha. I didn't mean to lie. Just that the reason for the tears you saw has got nothing to do with this." More silence.
My gaze is glued to the tiles beneath me. They are plain white and so is everything else in this room, which happens to be the Beta's office.
White and plain. Empty.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBeing empty is devastating. It brings about depression. They say life needs sspice, but what if the only spice flavour you attract as a human is trouble? Wouldn't you rather be plain and empty than be full of troubles that have no root and no end either? "Ashanti." My ncuts through the atmosphere, snappingout of my thoughts. It's Alpha Reagan. He just called my name.
Calmly, I raise my head. My gaze meets his and electricity zaps between us, makingshiver. His eyes are filled with dark undertones.
"Yes, Alpha Reagan." "Are you being bullied by the other girls?" Ha! My breath hitches in my throat and my eyes pop open in shock.
How the f**k did he figure that out?
My mind flashes before my eyes all I the things the H**m girls have to me, including Alina's threats. I should mod threats. I my head; I should open my mouth and tell him yes. I should fall to my knees and wail, beg him to savefrom the claws of those Harm girls. who have sworn to make my life a living hell.
This is the perfect opportunity forto beg for his help, but my supid body has refused to do what my brain is En asking it to do.
I want to drop to my knees, but my bones feel tight. I want to open my mouth to speak, but it sealed, and I feel my words being sewn to my tongue. I am completely immobile and speechless. And pathetic! "I take your silence as a yes." "I'm fine." I croak and laugh at myself within when the words finally cout.
