The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate (Ashanti) novel Chapter 176

Chapter 0176
ASHANTI’S POV.
I’m pretty sure there’s a laundry room at the Premium quarters, but I prefer coming here to the normal H e m quarters to do my laundry because I’m used to the environment and the people around here. The girls at the Premium Residence are mean and snobbish. I try to avoid having any sort of encounter with them as much as possible.
With my basket filled with dirty clothes in hand, I walk into the laundry room and I’m not even surprised to see many girls doing their laundry as well. It’s the weekend.
When I just got here, I used to do laundry only on weekdays when there were fewer people because of how the girls used to tease me whenever I showed in their presence. But now that they’ve been acting more civil towards me, I’m no longer terrified of doing laundry with them on weekends.
“Hello guys.” I greet cheerfully the moment I step into the room. They all stop what they are doing for a brief moment and look at me. Some reply with smiles on their faces while a good number of them roll their eyes and look away.
Strange.
“Look at her trying to act like she isn’t losing her touch.” One of the girls say to her group of friends who all burst into laughter. Fear makes my body shake as I stay planted on my spot.
What is going on?
“I heard Alpha Reagan has been very mean and cold to her these days and he’s not been calling her to his chambers very often. It seems he’s about to do to her the same thing he did to Alina. Use and dump. The poor thing.” The girl seals her statement with a soft, evil laugh. A buzz that starts from my chest spreads throughout my body like a bushfire. I snap my head in the girl’s direction and our gazes meet. She has a wild look in her eyes. My chest tightens and I look away to avoid her
gaze.
That’s the same girl who was nice to me just a few days ago. She even offered to get me my lunch at the cafeteria, but now, here she is, grinding my name with her friends like I’m not even in the room to hear it.
When things are fine between me and the Alpha, they pretend to be my friend. But when things get sour, they turn against me. No shame!
“She is losing her hold on him. I’m sure she’s very anxious. It’s just a matter of time before he stops interacting with her at all and sends her packing from the Premium Residence.” a red haired girl adds. There’s a dark smile on her face.
“Oh… that will be fun to watch. Ashanti, back in the normal H a r e m quarters with us. If
something like that ever happens to me, I’ll just jump into the ocean and die because I won’t be able to bear the humiliation.”
“Oh… poor Ashanti.” As if planned, they all look in my direction with fake sorrowful expressions on their faces and shake their heads.
“All you’ll have left is memories of the good times you had with Alpha Reagan.”

…While
you watch him choose another girl and treat her like his queen.”
“Girls! Girls!” One of the calls eagerly, gaining their attention. “Have you ever thought of who could be the next? Oh, I pray it’s me!”
“You?” The red haired girl who spoke a while ago asks and laughs hysterically. “You’re not even pretty. I’m the only one in this entire H r e m who stands the chance of being chosen by Alpha Reagan to be his next favourite girl. He’ll choose me. Just watch and see!”
And that’s how an argument of who will be the next favourite girl breaks out within the lot.
I contemplate for a split second whether to turn around and leave, but on a second thought, I debunk the idea.
What’s the point?
Their words might be painful and true, but I won’t let them break me.
Not the H a m girls, not Alina and Rhea, not Alpha Reagan.
I look ahead, breathe and…
“Don’t mind them…” A voice interrupts my mind therapy. A smiling girl stands before me. She’s Kelly, the girl who always offers to get my food at the cafeteria. She even assisted me in doing my laundry the last time I was here.
“Kelly.” There’s a frown on my face, but she’s smiling widely at me. “Are you here to mock me as well?” I ask bitterly. She chuckles.
“You really think I’m that shallow?” She creased her brows. “I’m disappointed.” She gently seizes the laundry basket from my hand and gestures to me to follow her. I’m still frowning as I follow her to a vacant washing machine at the other end of the room. She puts the basket down and turns to me again. “Those girls are two edged swords. Totally shameless. So their words shouldn’t affect you.’
