The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate by Sumi

Chapter 0136 ASHANTI'S POV.

I cried.

I cried hard as I returned the bracelet to its place in the locker. Tessa threw it away. That was supposed to be a symbol of my love for her as my friend. A symbol of my appreciation for all the times she stood by me, but she threw it away.

I'm upset, but not at her because I know Tessa would never decide to do any of these things on her own. Someone is brainwashing her or setting her up to do these things and this person seems to have something big on her.

This is ridiculous.

"There goes your meal." Kylie, one of the H a r girls who rushed to serve me the moment I walked into the cafeteria, announces as she puts the tray containing the plates of food on the table before me. I look up at her and smile thankfully.

"Thank you, Kylie."

"You are welcome. Call me if you need anything else." Then she whisks off to join her friends at their own table. I look around the cafeteria and smile as I watch the rest of the girls laughing and chatting away as they eat their food. The atmosphere is no longer tense. I can't hear anyone saying vile things about me. Lately, all they do is appreciate me, especially after what I did to Rhea in the laundry room a few days ago. I only have to cough right now and at least three of them will rush to me, ready to serve me.

It's cool and terrifying at the same time.

My heart pangs with pain when I spot Tessa. She's sitting at a far corner of the room, all alone, eating her food. She doesn't look happy at all and that makes me think all the more that someone is influencing her behavior towards me.

I feel sorry for her.

"Ashanti!"
