Chapter 0394
ASHANTI'S POV.
"Selena!" Alpha Reagan calls in a tone depicting concern as he steps into the ward. I follow suit. He walks over to the bed to meet her while I stop in my tracks and watch their interaction from afar. Selena is sitting upright on the bed, sobbing quietly as Alpha Reagan perches by her side and turns to face her. The first peculiar thing I notice about her is her blonde hair. It's long and looks a bit dishevelled probably because of everything that has been on in the last few hours. Alpha Reagan's presence seems to have aggravated her condition because right now, her sobs are no longer softs, but violent and tears are streaming down from her eyes like a waterfall.
"Alpha Reagan, I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me, I swear it wasn't intentional. I didn't mean to hurt myself the way I did." She laments in tears and Reagan turns to look at me. He has an irritated look on and I immediately understand that what he intends to do is scold her for being so irresponsible and dramatic, but I shake my head, disagreeing with his intended move.
"No." I mouth the word to him and he creases his brows which means he insists on doing what he intends to do. "I said no!" I mouth yet again, this time around with a serious expression on my face. His face falls in dismay and he looks back at Selena who's still busy bawling her eyes out.
I don't know why but I hate the fact that she's pretty. Even in her crying state, her beauty is still evident and now that she's in tears, she looks very cute and adorable. Alpha Reagan just needs to look at that face for ten more seconds and all his anger will go away. She looks charming. I hate it! "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble." She apologises yet again and I groan, rolling my eyes in frustration.
No one can make me believe she didn't do this to get his attention. She felt threatened by his words and decided to play with her life just to gain his pity again.
What exactly is her game?
"Selena." Reagan calls in a low, raspy voice. My head snaps in their direction and I'm suddenly very curious to hear what he wants to say to her. A strange feeling in my gut comes to life when Selena stretches her hand forward and snatches Alpha Reagan's right hand in her hold. My heart misses a beat and I quickly look away. Bile churns in my stomach when the scene replays in my mind.
She took his hand. She's holding his hand. She's touching my mate. And I don't like it.
"Selena you could have died! I know we all can have very wild thoughts at times, but where did you get the courage to push through with such a plan? Why did you try to kill yourself?"
“Because I lied to you. Because I deceived you in the past when you showed me nothing but love and care. I was so ashamed of myself so I thought..."
"So you thought it best to do this? To attempt suicide?" He sighs and shakes his head. Relief washes through me like a wave across on an ocean shore when he seizes his hand from her hold and rises to his feet.
Yes!
I didn't like that he was sitting so close to her.
“Are you leaving me?" She asks, still in tears and I swear I'm fighting my urge to go over and punch her. She's trying to play the emotional blackmail card so hard, it's irritating.
She's well aware of what she's doing.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
"I'm going to have a word with the doctor. I need to make sure everything is fine with you." He says and walks over to me. I don't like the fact that he's so worked up. I feel like pulling him into a warm hug right now. "Hey..." He whispers in a sweet, breathy voice. He stops in front of me, breathing heavily as he massages his forehead with his fingers. "I need to see the doctor, I'll be right back."
"Let me come with you."
"There's no need. I'll be back in five
minutes. Please..." He turns to
me
Selena who's staring at us with red tear-filled eyes before looking at again. "I know I shouldn't ask this of you, but please, can you keep an
eye
on her while I'm away. I don't want her doing anything stupid to herself again. Please."
