Chapter 38
TWO DAYS LATER.
My morning sleep is rudely interrupted by a harsh knock on the door. I hastily jump down from the bed and go to open, preparing to scold at whoever I see. My mouth instantly shuts up when I open the door and see a group of soldiers standing at the door and I swallow hard, nervously. What have I done this time around?
What are they doing here so early in the morning?
“How may I help you?”
“Kylie’s jewelry has been stolen, we have been instructed by the Alpha to search every servants bed room!” He explains loudly and I just quietly step aside for them to get in and do whatever it is they want to do.
I stand by the door and watch as they rummage my wardrobe and other parts of the room, setting everything in disarray.
What jewelry are they even talking about?
“Found it!” One of the guards announces and I open my eyes and mouth in horror as he turns around with the jewelry in his hand.
“How did that get in here?” I ask shocked.
“We should be asking you that” The guard holding the jewel says as he walks close to me.
“I swear I have no idea how that got in here, I didn’t steal it!” I try to defend myself but one if the guards grabs my right arm.
“Tell that story to the Alpha!” He sneers as he aggressively pushes me out of my bedroom.
All I can do is wail I agony as they take me to the dungeon.
Why does it always have to be this way for me?
Once we arrive at the dungeon, they throw me into one of the cells and I thank the Moon goddess that it’s not the silver prison.
Any place but the silver prison.
“I swear I didn’t do it!” I scream in tears as they lock the door and march away.
I ball myself up on the floor and weep bitterly. This is just another instance that will make Alpha Hardin hate me more because he is never going to believe me when I say that I’m innocent. He never does.
Why does it always behave to be this way?
Sweet Moon goddess, why do you keep letting these unfortunate circumstances befall me? Why did you design my life to be this way?
Why can’t I just be happy and free like everyone else?
What did I do to deserve all this suffering and humiliation?
“You will never seize to amuse me Reign” A familiar voice speaks from the door and I hastily snap my head and I when I see Alpha Hardin, I just cry harder.
“I didn’t do it! I didn’t steal the jewel”
“Then how did it get to your bedroom?”
“I sincerely don’t know how it got there. Please Alpha Hardin, you have to believe me”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“You are not only a murderer, but you are also a thief and a liar!” He spits out angrily.
I knew it!
I knew he was never going believe me.
“Theft is not tolerated in my pack Reign, so prepare yourself for the punishment that’s ahead.” With that, he leaves the dungeon and I just cry harder.
My life is never going to be better.
MIGUEL’S POV
Sometimes I really do pity my Luna, Reign. She always finds herself in unfortunate situations and I wonder why. It’s either she’s being accused or bullied or sexually harassed. It’s always from one drama to the next.
She didn’t steal Kylie’s jewelry, I know she didn’t. First things first, she hasn’t been to Hardin’s chambers these past days so there’s no way she would’ve stolen It. Someone must have set her up but Hardin won’t even try to listen to me because of his stubbornness.
He loves Reign and he wants to be with her, but I don’t understand why he wouldn’t just let go of what happened in the past.
Whatever be the case, I have to prove Reign’s ….
“Miguel!” Kylie calls snapping me out of my thoughts as she rushes into the living room living room. She looks very worried and I understand why. She’s not very happy about the allegations made against Reign.
“Yes Kylie, sup?”
“She didn’t do it!” She cries.
“I know she didn’t, but you know how hard headed your brother is, we have to provide concrete evidence to prove that she was set up.”
“And I have the evidence, Mayeva was the maid who cleaned my room yesterday and that’s when the jewelry got missing. She must have stolen it to set Reign up. You do know how they despise her right?”
“How foolish of them! I’m going to sort this out!” I say as I rise up from the couch and exit my office.
These maids never know when to stop.
After many hours of questioning and threatening and torturing, Mayeva finally accepts her crime. She stole the jewelry and out in Reign’s room to set her up.
I order for her to be thrown into the dungeon and go over to Alpha Hardin’s office so I can tell him what I just found out.
When I get into his office, I meet him sitting on his office chair with a bottle of Jack Daniels before him and he seems to drinking directly from the bottle.
Even though he won’t admit, I know he’s worried about Reign and I know he believes that she is innocent.
“Stop sulking already she’s innocent” I announce as I stand before him.
“Who are you talking about?”
“Who else than Reign?”
“What makes you think she’s innocent?”
“I out some investigations and I found that she was set up” I explain and looks at up at me.
“Are you sure about this?”
“One hundred percent sure”
“So where’s the culprit?”
“I ordered her to be locked up in the dungeon”
“And Reign?”
“I came to tell you so you would order for her release”
“Let that be done with immediate effect!” He commands and I bow my head and exit the office.
If only he could be this reasonable all the time.
Hardin’S POV
It’s almost nightfall and I’m going over to Reign’s room to check on her.
I feel guilty as fuck!
I accused her of something she was innocent of and I can only imagine how much she hates me right now.
I have to see her no matter what.
Once I get to her door, I knock and a few moments later, the door creaks open, revealing her perfect figure and I swallow dryly as I fight my urge to hug her.
The look on her face says it all, she’s not happy to see me and for some odd reason, my heart stings. I don’t like the fact that she’s not happy to see me.
“Can I come in?” I ask as politely as I can and I’m taken aback when she shakes her head.
“Tonight’s the full moon and my cycle is tuned with it, I’m bleeding.” She explains with her head bowed down.
“Full moon period?” I ask and she snaps her head up to look at me in surprise.
“Yes, Alpha”
“I don’t care if you’re bleeding, I still want to talk to you”
“But I don’t want to, good night!” She says as she shuts the door in my face. I raise, my hand up to knock but I stop and step back.
Hormones.
It must be the hormones.
I just turn around and leave feeling gravely perturbed. I’m not sure I’ll be getting any sleep tonight.
I doubt if I will.
