The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Chapter 0057

ASHANTI'S POV.

"I can't have you..."

That phrase now lives rent free in my head. I'm trying to decode its meaning. I'm trying to understand what made Delta Kyle say that, but nothing makes sense.

I would ask Tessa, but knowing how her mind works, she'll only try to romanticise the phrase, so I'd rather keep it to myself. Maybe it was a slip of the tongue. Maybe I heard wrong.

Either way, I should better stop thinking about a phrase which definitely has no meaning and find a way to satisfy this hunger in my stomach and the thirst in my throat. I can only do that by going to the cafeteria to have dinner and that makes my mood turn sour because of the mockery I'm going to be getting from the girls the moment I walk in.

I should have said yes to Delta Kyle when he offered to buy me dinner.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid Ashanti!

"What the hell is wrong with me?" I mumble in frustration as I make my way to the cafeteria. My intestines are at war with each other. I'm so thirsty, I could dry up a waterfall right now.

As expected, all eyes are on me as I walk in, but their reactions are different. I imagined they'd throw scornful words at me or even try to hit me, but everyone bursts into laughter, some even point at me as I go over to take my food.

"She definitely has no idea what's going on." I overhear one of them telling another.

"She's going to be shocked when they come for her."

"Serves her right. She deserves to be treated like the whore she is!"

I ignore them as best as I can as I get my food. Tessa is nowhere to be found, meaning she hasn't come to have dinner yet. The mockery and laughter goes on as I sit down to eat my food.

This is the last time I'll reject any offer concerning food made to me by Delta Kyle or anyone. Being around these girls during meal time is depressing. I look around at their laughing faces and I can't help but feel it's not about the boyfriend issue.
