THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Reign’S POV

“He cares about us” Lyla, my wolf suddenly blurts out.

“Are you talking about Adam or Hardin?”

“Both of them”

“Well…” I say as I exhale heavily ” I don’t really know about that, but it’ll be best if we forget about them, you and I very well know that they rejected us”

“But Adam…” She starts to talk but I cut her off.

“Lyla, Hardin controls Adam, it’s not the other way round and you have clearly seen how much he despises us. So it doesn’t really matter if Adam wants us because he can’t act on his own. When Hardin says no, Adam has no choice but to comply” I explain and Lyla purrs sadly as she blocks me.

It’s kind of better that way.

She’s not the only one who craves to be loved by our mate. As much as she wants to be with Adam, I too want to be Hardin, but we all know that’s an impossibility.

There’s a gentle knock on my room door and I go over to open it, I see Ma’am Sophia smiling at me and I immediately crash into her arms.

I’m so glad that she’s safe.

“I kept worrying about you all night Reign, why weren’t you also taken into the private hide out?” She asks as she walks into the bedroom and I look at her confused.

“Private hide out?”

“Yeah, you see there are private hide outs around the pack where the women and children are always taken to when there’s a severe rogue attack. Last night wasn’t that intense be because the rogues didn’t reach the residential quarters so only the servants were taken there”

“Ahh… I see”

“Where were you? I was worried sick about you”

“Well…” I say as I smile foolishly.

No matter what, last night was really heart warming. Alpha Hardin saving me is something I still find very hard to believe.

“I don’t think I needed to hide when I had the big bad Alpha wolf protecting me” I boast and she looks at me with eyes and mouth wide open in shock.

“No way!”

“Yes way! He actually saved me from a rogue attack and Adam, his wolf wouldn’t leave, he had no choice but to stay and protect me.”

I explain and she smiles.

“Aww… you children are so adorable. This is going to turn into the greatest love story ever!” She coos.

“I don’t think so” I deny flatly.

“Why not?”

“He only did that because Adam was the one in control, if he was in human form, I don’t think he would have considered saving me”

“What nonsense! Of course he would! You are his mate and he would stop at nothing to protect you”

“But he hates me”

“It doesn’t matter, that’s the power of the mate bond, besides, Hardin doesn’t hate you!”

“Hardin?” I ask in shock.

This is actually the second time she’s addressing him by his first name. She really does have death wish for herself.

“Pardon me, Alpha Hardin. He doesn’t hate you, he just doesn’t want to accept the fact that he has fallen for you, that’s why he keeps treating you the way he does”

“That doesn’t make any sense to me.” I say shaking my head.

“Me neither”

“How are you even do sure that he is in love with me?”

“Because I know what a mate bond is Reign, it’s not something you can break with will power. There’s no way anyone cannot be in love with his or her mate”

“You’re just saying all this because you haven’t actually seen the way he looks at me, the manner in which he talks to me, the way he treats me as a whole, he despises me!”

“If he did, he would not have saved you yesterday. Do you think it’s just by chance that he came to your bedroom last night? No! It’s not just by chance sweetie, he thought of you, he was worried about you and he knew it was his duty to keep you safe, he knew he would not be able to bear it if anything happened to you and that’s because you are his mate! That’s why he stayed there to protect you!” She explains and I just keep staring at her blankly. “Alpha Hardin doesn’t despise you Reign, he loves you, I just don’t know why he won’t admit it.”

There is a knock on the door.

“I’d be damned if it isn’t Alpha Hardin” She concludes as we both walk to the door and when I open it, there stands Alpha Hardin in all his glory and immediately, my heart starts palpating in my chest.

Why is Ma’am Sophia always so accurate?

“Good morning Alpha Hardin” We both greet in unison and he just nods and steps in.

“I’ll take my leave now, see you later” Ma’am Sophia says and leaves. I close the door and turn to look at Alpha Hardin who is staring at me like there’s something wrong with the way I look.

Ma’am Sophia’s words linger on my mind and I can’t help but get curious.

Could it really true that he is love with me?All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“How are you feeling?” He asks with his deep Alpha voice and I clear my throat.

“Better than okay”

“Are you sure?” He asks looking around.

“Yeah”

“I can see everything has been put in place again” He says looking around and I just nod.

Very early this morning, servants flooded this room to clean my room and repair the door.

Till now, I don’t know why they all did that.

“Can I ask you a question?” I ask out of nowhere.

“If it’s about what happened last night just forget it, my wolf was the one in control”

“He seems to care about me, about Lyla”

“And I don’t care, I control him and not the other way round and it doesn’t matter if he cares for you or not, what matters is what I decide and I have decided that I don’t care about you and that’s what stands.”

“I find it hard to believe you. Why then are you here so early in the morning, asking how I’m holding up if you don’t care about me?”

“That’s because you are my servant, besides I can’t torture you if you are sick. That’s why I need you to be strong always so I can do whatever it is I want with you” He spits out bitterly as he looks straight into my eyes and I swallow dryly.

He is damn cruel!

“Stop having fantasies in that head of yours Reign. Like I said I only want you to be strong so that I can torture you all the more, not because I genuinely care about you. As you know already, I hate you and I will never accept you as my mate because you mean nothing to me. Absolutely nothing!” He concludes and I lose my temper smack him hard in the cheek as tears come spilling down my cheeks.

“Get out!” I order.

Honestly I don’t know where I got this courage from and right now I don’t care how he’s going to react.

I just had to do this.

He holds his left cheek and looks at me long and hard and surprisingly, he quietly walks out of the bedroom. I walk over to my bed where I lie on it and bawl my eyes out.

He’s nothing but a hard hearted jerk and I hate him!
