THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Reign’S POV

The only thing I do these days is eat sleep and be angry with Hardin. I can see that he is trying all he can to get to me, but he has no idea the kind of walls I have built in my heart against him.

He can’t get through.

Even if I try to want to pardon him, the fact that he bloody killed my mentor hunts me like crazy, if I try to forgive him and move on, wherever my mentor is, he is going to be very disappointed in me and that is the last thing I want to happen.

Right now, I’m in the living room, reading a book I didn’t complete before I left. It is titled “The Battle of the Elementals” I borrowed it from Kylie’s library and she told me it’s Hardin’s favorite and so far I can see why he is so addicted to the book.

It’s amazing!

The big doubled door of the living room creaks open and immediately, the atmosphere is filled with Alpha Hardin’s rich manly cologne. I jerk my head up to look at him and I pause in awe.

He has on his usual all black outfit and he looks smashing!

A corny smirk forms at the side of my lips when I think of the fact he had me cuddled in his arms all night.

Truth be told, I like it when he does that.

As he approaches me, I close my book and rise up from the couch.

“What are you doing?” He asks as I start to walk away.

“What do you see me doing?” I ask nerved.

“Reign don’t walk away from me, I want us to talk”

“I don’t have anything to say to you”

“Well I do, now turn around and look at me” He orders but I do the reverse. I walk over to staircase and start ascending the stairs.

“Reign!” He roars but I just ignore him and keep ascending. If you ask me where I got this courage from, I wouldn’t have anything to tell you.

I don’t know how it’s possible that I can do all these things I have been doing to him, but one thing for sure is that, I love it.

I love the fact that I frustrate him every now and then. A few weeks ago, he did just about the same things to me, it’s about time he got a taste of his own soup.

I walk into my bedroom and I’m about to shut the door when he blocks it with his arm.

“What now?”

“I said we need to talk” He repeats and I gently step aside for him to get into the room.

Of course I want to hear he wants to say, I always want to hear what he has to say, I just wanted to annoy him for a bit.

He’s a stubborn Alpha, I just want to make him understand that I’m a stubborn Luna as well.

“You know this has hot to stop” He says walking helter-skelter.

“What exactly?”

“Me giving orders and you totally ignoring them. Reign I’m still the Alpha of this pack and I demand some respect from you” He says in a calm but firm tone that actually scares me a bit. I swallow dryly as I look up to him.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“You are scaring me” I say out of nowhere and he lets out a heavy sigh of frustration as he walks over to me.

If I’m not going to annoy him, I might as well emotionally black mail him.

“Babe” He calls as he tries to hold my hand but I pull away. “Babe come on” He insists on holding my hand and this time around I let him. “I’m sorry if I was harsh, it’s honestly not my intention to scare you or make you mad. I just want us to stop fighting, that’s all” He says in a whisper and my heart melts totally. I quickly pull my hands from his hold and clear my throat.

I’m not falling for that.

“You wanted us to talk” I ask firmly as I look away.

“Uh… yeah”

“What about?”

“Well, I went to see you father today” He announces and I crease my brows in awe.

“And why did you go to see my father”

“So, I’m trying to investigate what really happened to Wilma and I figured discussing with him will be the best way to begin”

“You want to investigate what happened to Wilma?”

“Yeah?”

“Why? If I may ask”

“I Just really want to know what happened”

“So you still don’t believe me when I say I didn’t do it, aye?”

“No Reign, I do believe you, that’s why I want to find out for myself what really happened. I want to know”

“I see…” I say nodding as I go to seat on my bed.

“So, I spoke with your father today and I am convinced that he is hiding something.”

“Something like what?”

“Well, from the discussion we had, I could tell that he never loved you Reign, he never did”

“Well, that’s no news, I’ve always known that”

“Reign please, can you stop being sarcastic for one minute? Please?”

“I’m going to count to sixty and after that, I can resume being sarcastic, right?” I ask and he chuckles.

“You are a little chipmunk!”

“No I’m not!” I retaliate as I hit his arm but my fist hurts instead.

He’s so strong and muscular!

“Every time you make a sarcastic comment, I’ll call you a chipmunk. I guess that will make us even then!” He says with a cocky smile and I cast him an evil look.

King of mischief!

“You were talking about my dad”

“Yeah, I was. So I said I found out that your father did not exactly love you as a father should love his daughter”

“And I said that’s no news”

“Chipmunk!”

“Go away?” I cry and he laughs.

“So, he was okay with the fact that I rejected you and chose Wilma instead”

“Wilma was his favorite child, so he would obviously want what’s best for her”

“By letting her be with her sister’s mate?” He asks and I just shrug my shoulders. “Well, I’m going to send Miguel to monitor your father, I very much believe that he has something to do with Wilma’s death.”

“If you are doing this hoping that I would forgive you, then just stop, it’s too late”

“Well, that’s one of the reasons, but I also need to know what happened to Wilma, she was a member of this pack and she was murdered in cold blood, she deserves this Justice. I need to find whoever killed her and get him or punished.”

“Cool” I say nodding and he looks at me long and hard.

“Mum told me this wasn’t going to be easy”

“What exactly?”

“Winning you over, she said it’s not going to be easy.”

“Well, it’s impossible, so stop cuz you are never going to get to me”

“Are you sure about that?”

“Wanna bet?” I dare as I stretch my left palm forward to it him to bet on.

“So what are we betting on?”

“I… Um ….” I stammer. I can’t even think of anything

“The day you say yes to me, I’m going to mark you as mine.” He declares and connects our palms together. I swallow dryly as I nod my head.

“It’s already too late Hardin”

“What is already too late?”

“I already hate you, you can never win over”

“Never say never love. Giving up on you is not an option. I know I hurt you, but I promise I’m going to make it up to you, I know I can’t take away the pain I caused you, but I promise to do right by you always” He says with a sweet smile as he leans closer and plants a soft kiss on my forehead. “I love you Luna, always remember that” Then he walks out of the room.

I absentmindedly touch my forehead and I can feel my face flush red as I blush.

“Crap!” I lament as I fall on bed and burry myself with the duvet.

“Stop fighting him” Lyla says from nowhere and I juts rolls my eyes. “It’s making Adam feel bad”

“Well, I’m sorry Lyla, but that guy put us through so much hardship in the past. There’s no forgiving him”

“Let’s watch and see”

“Get some sleep Lyla” I block her in my mind and close my eyes.

I am never going to fall for him.
