ASHANTI'S POV.

"I wish they provided us with private workspaces. Working in the midst of all these designers will giveanxiety." One of my colleagues, Kelly, cries as we inspect our allocated working space.

"You know they can't do that. We need to work in an environment where we can be inspected in order to ensure that no one is cheating." Another colleague replies and she lets out a frustrated groan. I share her frustration, but we have no choice.

"Yeah yeah. That's the kind of pressure I don't like." "Well... you don't have a choice but to work under the pressure." Kelly sighs heavily and rides on with packing stuff into our lockers.

Sguys are setting up the machines, others are transferring the fabrics into our allocated lockers and a few of us are packing stuff in our various cubicles.

The atmosphere is rowdy as other designers are engaged in similar activities at various corners of the room. This is where we'll be creating and displaying our designs when the competition begins.

We spend the next hours parking and sorting and organising stuff. By two pm, we are one of the only groups left in the hall.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm exhausted and need to go hnow." I say, picking up my bag from a nearby cubicle and slinging around my left arm. "See you all tomorrow." "Be safe." "Thank you." I turn and start heading out of the hall with the sound of my heels not failing to announce my departure as they collide with the floor below. Ryan is nowhere to be found. I guess I'm going to leave without him. He's going to cut my head off when he returns, but I'll deal with that later. For now, I have to get hfirst.

"Ashanti." I pause in my tracks at the sound of my name.

That voice.

That charming, deep baritone voice. The voice that has the power to make my heart beat faster than normal. It belongs to no one else but my mate, Alpha Reagan.

My head whips in the direction of the voice and I nearly crumble into dust when I see him approachingwith a smirk planted at the side of his lips. My heart starts doing air backs in my chest. Even though I'm excited to see him, even though I have this primal urge to jump on his body right now and give him the tightest hug ever, I remain still and plaster a frown on my face.

I'm so good at this.

"What are you doing here?" I fire, the moment he takes his stand before me. He's still smiling and it's gettingupset because I cannot do the same.

"I cto see you." "Why?" "Because I miss you. I've been here for stnow, but I know you were busy there, that's why I waited out here." "You have to stop coming here." I say, walking past him. Two steps later, he's by my side and we are walking to a destination I do not know. I'm not even thinking anymore. "People are already talking." "What are they talking about?" I stop. Suck in a deep breath. Let out a deep sigh before turning to face him again with a frustrated look on my face.

"Favouritism. They say I'll win this competition because of my connection with you." "Telltheir names and I'll have them disqualified from this competition!" "That's the exact attitude that'll make them crucifyand escalate this whole issue. You can't do that. Just stop coming around here." "You won't letcto your house, you won't letchere either." "Can you blme for making those decisions?" He goes mute.

Several quiet seconds fly by before we meet each other's gaze again.

"Letdrive you home." He offers. I shake my head.

"I don't want you to." I deny flatly and start walking again. By now, I don't even know where I'm heading to. I'm lost in this driveway, but I just want to get away from this man and his overwhelming presence. "We both know how this is going to end." One minute I can hear his footsteps behind me, the next, he's standing before me, both hands shoved in his pockets as he strikes a gentle pose. He's still smiling. I groan, rolling my eyes so hard, they almost get stuck at the back of my head. We both know how this is going to end.

"You'll forceto get into the car."

"I wouldn't use the word force." He steps closer, staring straight into my eyes. "I will cajole you into lettinggive you a ride." His voice isdeceptively charming and smooth. An observable blush spreads from my neck up to my face and my cheeks heat up as though they've been set on fire. My body starts trembling when I notice we've started getting the attention of passers by. Shave stood in their tracks and are looking at us, while the others keep staring as they pass. I don't like this at all.

"Where's the damn car?" I whisper between my teeth, HarshlyCA goofy smile forms on his face. "This way, Ma Lady." He leads the way towards his car and I follow like an obedient puppy.

He always has his way with me.

Always! It's so annoying!
