StarNovelCHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-THREE.
REAGAN'S POV.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Selena." I shriek, unable to fathom the fact that she's standing beforeright now. She has that pitiful look she used to bindin her bonds in the past with and she's staring atas 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 broughthere 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?" "l… 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 tuckin and cuddleevery 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 ofpretty soon.
She's trying to guilt tripinto letting her cinto 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI quickly whip my head back in her direction and shake my head in denial.
"No, you can't." "Please, it's going to be just for tonight. I'm sure if I sleep with you tonight, I'll get used to the environment and I won't need to bother you anymore tomorrow. Please." She calmly explains, but I still shake my head in denial.
First, I don't want to spend the night with her. Who knows what temptations she'll throw my way until I give in and do the one thing I know I'll regret and resent myself for if I dare do it now.
Second, I know she's lying when she says it'll be just for today. If I let this girl get into this bedroom and spend the night with me, she's going to cagain tomorrow and the next tomorrow with different excuses. I cannot risk it.
And finally, Ashanti is the only woman I have ever spent the night with in here and I want it to stay that way. This room holds our happiest and saddest memories together. It's like our sacred temple and I do not want to defy it by bringing any other woman into it, let alone my ex.
The thought of betraying Ashanti like that sends chills down my spine.
I could never! Calmly, I step out of the room and close the door behind me. I can see the expression on Selena's face go from expectant to confused. She must be wondering why I'm stepping out of the room inLooking down at her, I really want to teff her that no excuse she giveswould makelet her spend the night within that bedroom, instead I say; "Let's go back to your bedroom. I'll tuck you in so you can fall asleep." X
