Chapter 61
Hardin’S POV
I miss her!
I swear I miss her so much that it hurts. It’s been barely a day since she left and I feel like I’m totally loosing my mind. I said I was going to wait a few days before going to meet her but I don’t think I can actually wait that long before going to bring her back.
My mum told me about this.
Miguel told me about this.
They all told me I was going to realize myself when it was too late and I thought they were joking, but here I am, actually facing that reality.
I just realized that I should have treated her better, that I should have listened to her when she said she was innocent, I should never have rejected her.
I just realized I was supposed to take very care of her because she is my life but I was stubborn and I refused to listen and understand. I kept ignoring my heart and Adam, my wolf, I only listened to what my mind was telling me and look where it has landed me.
I have not been able to do any work today. I left all pack work in the hands of Miguel and my Omega and here I am, lying on Reign’s bed and weeping like a five year-old who just lost a pet.
Her pheromone is all over the room and I just can’t get enough of it. I have been in this bedroom since morning, refused to eat anything or see anyone and I don’t know for how long I’m going to keep being like this.
I’m nothing but a pathetic fool.
I had diamonds in my hands but I decided to throw them away. This is nothing but Karma getting back at me for everything I did to Reign. I know this is the Moon goddess’ way of punishing me for rejecting and maltreating the mate she assigned to me.
This is so messed up and I don’t even know where to start fixing it.
“Sweet Moon goddess” I call as I go down in my knees and lift my head and hands up to the roof hoping that she’s listening to me. “I know you are mad at me for being an ass lately, I know this is your way of punishing me for being very cruel to my mate all this while, but please, help me get her back. You sent her to make me a complete man, a complete Alpha and I’m sorry that I treated her the way I did” I plead in tears “Please Merciful Moon goddess, all I ask for is a second chance for me to act right by her, all I ask is for a second chance for me to prove to my Luna that I love her and that she means everything to me. She is my life and I need her. I need me my Luna.” I cry bitterly as I lie on the floor, caring less about the fact I must look like a petty fool right now.
“I cannot survive without her, please bring her back to me”
“Hardin!” I hear a voice call and the moment I recognize it. I just cry harder. It’s my mum and I’m happy that she’s here to comfort me.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
I just lost one very important woman in my life, I need another important woman to comfort me and assure me that everything is going to be alright.
“Oh my son!” She calls worriedly as she stoops by my side and urges me to get up. “I know you are hurting, but will you please rise up from the floor, Reign is not dead and also your subjects don’t have to see you acting like some lunatic. Please rise up son, I am here to comfort you and I promise we will find a way to being back your mate. Come on” She urges me to rise up and I rise on my feet. She takes me over to the couch where she puts me to sit down.
“I was mean to her mum, she’s never going to forgive me”
“It’s going to be difficult, but not impossible, so don’t say that”
“You won’t get it mum, while you were away, I did so many horrible things to her. So many horrible and unforgivable things”
“Like asking her to work at the security, accusing her of trying to escape and torturing her in the silver prison, taunting her every time you had the chance. I’m aware of all that” She lists and I look at her in awe.
How in the name of the Moon goddess did she know all that. She wasn’t even here.
“Mum, how did you know that? You weren’t even here”
“Says who?” She asks with a creased brow and I get confused all the more. For a while, I actually forget the fact I’m supposed to be lamenting and try to understand what she is talking about.
“Mum what do you mean by “Says who”?”
“Who said I wasn’t in this pack?”
“You were actually here all this while mum?”
“Yeah and I was with Reign all along”
“Mum, there’s no way you were that servant supervisor”
“You are such a smart boy!”
“I knew there was something awfully familiar about you but I just couldn’t point it out. Also I didn’t put much thought to it because I never imagined that you would do such a thing. Mum! Really, a servant? You are a Luna for crying out loud!”
“And that’s the more reason why I have to disguise as a servant once in a while so I can educate those servants on how to go about doing their work diligently and of course, not bully one another”
“You were the one who kept defending Reign”
“I couldn’t help it. She’s such a sweet soul. I wish you realized that earlier”
“Mum, why didn’t you insist about this to me? Why did you just leave me to handle this on my own?”
“I Left you to do whatever it is you wanted because you’re not going to have me all the time. I knew you were taking the wrong road, but I let you take it anyway, because I wanted you to learn this lesson. I want you to make your mistakes and learn your lessons, that’s the only way you can become stronger son.”
“But mum, I risk losing my Luna”
“No you don’t, yes it’s going to take a while getting her to come around, but it’s not impossible. Reign might think that she hates you, she might say it to your face, but that’s not what’s in her heart”
“Mum, I know what I saw in Reign’s eyes when I spoke with her this morning. She hates me, there’s no doubt about that”
“If you say Reign hates you, then you are calling the Moon goddess, weak”
“No I’m not!”
“Then stop saying that she hates you because she does not. The mate bond is way stronger that the way you kids think it is. There’s more to that mate bond than what meets the eye and you can’t just get rid of it. You are soulmates, you two are meant to be and neither of you have the power to change that. She might think that she doesn’t need you right now, but sooner or later, she’ll realize that she needs you anyway. Also you owe it to her to find her and bring her back home. She is your mate and Luna and it is your responsibility to make sure that she stays by your side for ever, to make sure that she’s safe and sound!”
“If that’s the case then I have to talk with Miguel, we have to set out tonight to find her. She can’t spend a single night out if this pack”
“That’s my boy. And just so you could know, the Moon goddess is not heartless. Yes you made a mistake but she has seen your heart, she knows that you regret your actions and she is going to give you another chance, but mind you, it’s not going to be easy winning Reign back, but you can never give up” She explains and without warning, I crash into her arms and she engulfs me in a warm magical hug.
I’m so glad she’s here. Her words have given me so much courage and I’m not going to stop until I make things right with my mate.
Reign where ever you are, I’m coming for you!
