Prince Reagan

Chapter 32

Facade

The days went by, and soon, my heat’ period went away…for the moment, that is. Reagan had told me I will soon experience it again, while we’re still not marked and mated.

I can feel my wolf’s strength increase every day as she continues to go through the phase of turning to a Lycan. Sometimes, it’s hard to

control her, but I’ve been having a lot of practice

with Reagan and sometimes Lexi. I just have to

learn to keep calm always even when I’m angry.

It’s easier said than done, though.

I feel pretty bad for ruining our dinner date,

so I’m looking for a way to make it up to

Reagan. We’ve been getting closer by the day, learning new things about each other as we try

to open up to one another. And sometimes,

when I’m horny during my ‘heat’ period, he

helps me out. But we never went all the way, we

only stopped before it went too far.

Personally, I would love for him to mark

and claim me, but it just doesn’t feel like the right time. My wolf’s still going through this

phase, and I want to get to know him better before I completely give myself to him. It’s hard to control myself, but I always find a way.

I’m learning to trust Reagan, and he, in

turn, is learning to be a bit less controlling. I

made him promise to always consult me before

taking any actions concerning me. As for my college, I’ve accepted to have it online, reluctantly, though. He was right. He won’t be in

Los Angeles for long once he’s done with his

ongoing case. And the thought of having to

separate from him doesn’t sit well with me. So

just to be with him, I’m ready to do anything. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

And then there’s Lana. She keeps getting

paler every day, and when I ask what’s wrong,

she just shrugs it off, claiming she is fine. But 1

can see that being away from her mate is weakening both her and her wolf. I tried talking her into going back to Red Moon, but she doesn’t listen. She’s so stubborn at times, it’s

frustrating. I wish there was something I could

do to cheer her up. If she remains like this, she

won’t do well in her finals.

Thaven’t even seen any recent photo of her

partying or having any sort of fun. The Lanal

knew always made time to go out with friends,

either to a club, the beach or a concert.

She’s sitting opposite me in the dining room now. Her eyes are glazed over like she’s deep in thoughts, and I don’t think she’s listening to me as I talk to her. She keeps

sighing, and it breaks my heart to see her like

this.

“Hey, ladies.” Janet strolls in, flashing her

pearly white teeth in a smile at us. We only

grumbled a ‘hey’ back at her before ignoring her. Just like me, Lana didn’t like Janet too well. According to her, something about Janet seems off.

I’ve been able to avoid Janet all this while

by speaking less to her and quickly leaving the

room when she walks in. This way, I would see

her less, and my wolf wouldn’t go berserk once

more.

Janet stays in a guest bedroom that is

luckily far from Reagan’s and mine. She still has that innocent facade she always has on and keeps trying to get close to me. It’s irritating as well as tiring. I have to act nice to her like I don’t always imagine choking her in my head. I just wish I could slap the lie out of her face.

“What are you girls doing?” Janet walks over to us after taking a bottle of water from the

fridge. Lana and I have couple of handouts and

notes sprawled on the table. It was pretty

obvious we are studying, but she still decided to

ask, irritating me further. I was helping Lana study since she wasn’t looking so good and probably can’t focus right.

“We’re studying, Janet…obviously,” ||

mumble the last part, but I’m pretty darn sure she heard. She smiles before taking a seat beside me and pulling it closer. Seriously, what’s her problem? Why can’t she just leave me the

f**k alone? Can’t she see I hate her guts?

Janet might look and act sweet, but

sometimes, I catch her off guard. Reagan hasn’t

been around much because of the situation

with she-wolves being abducted, but whenever

he was, we would try to spend all that time

together. I had noticed Janet sometimes joins

our conversation without being invited, and

whenever she catches him alone, she always

tries to put her hands all over him even though

he always warns her not to. I’m quick to catch

her, only for her to make up some lame excuse.

If her plan was to lure my mate back into

her clutches, she should be ready to fail hard.

Reagan clearly isn’t interested in her since all

his attention is always on me.

“What course are you both working on?”

Janet asks once more.

I sigh, exasperated. “Biology.” I briefly answer, hoping she would go away.

“Sounds fun. Can I join.”

nowhere to go. Since I’ve stopped going to college, I’ve just been sitting idle at home. I can only go out to shop, and that’s it. There’s nowhere else for me to go. I’m thinking about visiting my parents tomorrow. It’s been a while since I last saw them.

Maybe I should talk to Reagan about my lack of routine. I could follow him instead and

help in solving the case he’s working on. At least that way I’ll be useful.

“Your friend seems sad. Is she alright?” Oh

yeah, and I hate being home alone with this

bitch.

I gruffly answer, “She’s fine,” before going over to the fridge and bringing out cooking ingredients. I will be making a meal for Reagan while Joanna makes for the rest. She hasn’t come in yet, though.

I wanted to do something nice for Reagan. A way to rectify our last date.

“Are you cooking something?” Janet asks,

and I swear I’m about to lose my patience with

composure. This shouldn’t surprise me. I’ve

been suspecting her all this while after all.

“So I was right,” I state. “You are still in love with Reagan and hate me because I have him.”

She scoffs before standing up to her feet. “Of course, I hate you. I mean, what did you think?” She arches a perfect eyebrow at me. “Reagan’s a Prince, and this makes his mate

automatically a princess, making her the sixth

most powerful person in the beast kingdom and third most powerful female. And you think I’m

going to just throw that away and leave it for a

measly little wolf like you? You don’t even

deserve him.” For the first time, I’m seeing her

true, ugly colors.

“And you do?” I question with my eyebrows raised. “Listen to yourself. You don’t even want him because you love him, but because of the

power and status that he’ll bring to you. And that makes you a disgusting whore.” I eye her in spite. She suddenly begins to cackle like some old witch.

“Oh, Ells. Of course I like him. And I’m going to rip him away from you bit by bit in the most painful way ever.” She declares with a smug grin

evident on her face. I glower at her in anger before a smug smile of my own comes on.

“Dream on, b***h. I’m his mate, and nothing can tear us apart.” I state, walking up to her, so I’m looking directly into her eyes. We’re almost the same height, but she’s a bit taller by

a few inches.

I feel it then, her aura bursting out of her

and forcing me to submit. She’s a Lycan, and I’m still a werewolf in the process of turning. I try to fight it, but soon, I look away in defeat with my fists clenched by my sides. I can’t believe I lost to her. My wolf is growling in my head, and I can feel her ready to come out and teach this b***h a lesson. But I subdue her with happy thoughts of Reagan and me together.

I stare back up to see the smug grin on

Janet’s face. “We’ll see about that.” She says

before spinning on her heels and striding out
