REAGAN'S POV.
Another wave of excruciating silence washes through the atmosphere as I stay planted on my spot, staring at Selena, wondering if she has been possessed. This is the second tough question she's asking and her tone is different from that which she uses when we converse normally.
She sounds curious and a bit offended. Like she will not letgo unless I give her an answer, but I can't.
If she's asking this question, it means she has no idea about Ashanti.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow on earth is that possible? Was she living in a cave all these years? "Alpha Reagan." Her calm voice interrupts my thoughts, bringingback to earth. "You still haven't answered my question." I cannot tell her about Ashanti.
As it is now, things are already complicated. Selena knowing about Ashanti will only make them worse.
"You need to rest." I change the topic. Her face darkens with dismay.
"That's not the answer to the question." "I'm well aware of that fact." "Why don't you want to givea response?" The irritation and disappointment in her voice is inevitable. She's literally frowning atright now and I'm certain that the urge to hitis riding her hard. "Because it's not tyet." "Does that mean you have a girl?" "Selena." I call, calmly, firmly as I take two steps closer to her making sure to stop a considerable distance away from her. "It's been five years since you got missing. Five years since I thought I had lost you. Things have changed, both for you and for me. You cannot deny that fact. There are things that have happened in your life, things you are not comfortable enough or in the right state of mind to share withright now and I respect that. That's why I asked you a while ago to only tellwhat happened to you when you are ready. Things have also happened in my life, Selena. Things I'm not ready to let you know right now. I need tbefore divulging these details to you. I know you're eager to know how my life has been. It's the swith me, but we have to give each other tto gather our thoughts before doing that. I don't know if I'm making any sense." A fat tear rolls down from her left eye as she nods her head.
"I...I..." She stutters, sniffling tears and nodding her head. "I'm sorry." She croaks. The sound of her crying voice makes my heart lurch into my stomach. "I'm sorry for acting unreasonably. I just cback into your life from nowhere and now I'm acting entitled. I'm sorry. My thoughts and emotions are just all over the place." "It's okay, Selena." I should pull her into my arms and comfort her. That's what she needs right now, but just the thought of doing that makes King growl in disapproval. It's like I'm about to cheat on Ashanti.
"I uh... I completely understand where you're coming from. But rest assured, sooner or later I will tell you everything you need to know. I promise." "Okay." "And I need you to promisethat when the tcomes, you'll telleverything I need to know about how these past years have been for you. Can I count on you to do that?" She mops her drenched face with the back of her palms and nods at me.
"I promise to tell you when I'm ready." "Thank you." I take another step forward and pull her into my embrace, making sure to block King out so he doesn't start barking at me. Selene rests her head on my chest and continues sobbing while I gently stroke her soft, blonde hair.
In the past, a single contact with her would send sparks flying all over my body like I had been shocked by electric current, but now, I feel nothing.
No sparks, no electricity, just the feeling of two bodies bound together.
What exactly is the Moon goddess playing at?

work to get back "I'm sure you have work to get back to. I should let you go now." She declares. I widen the gap between us and shove both hands in my pockets.
"Yeah. You should. The servants will arrive soon. If you need anything, just tell them okay. There's no need for e you to dry. You are safe here. And I'll pass by to check on you frequently, okay?" She nods, flashinga small smile that lights up my mood. "Okay." "Good girl. I'll take my leave now. See you around." "Have a nice day."
"You too." I reciprocate her smile before exiting the living room. The NO content is on novelenglish.net! Now, I have to get you to work with that investigation.
