THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Hardin’S POV

“Wakey wakey” I chant happily as I walk over to bed with a tray containing Reign’s breakfast in my hands.

These days, she spends her entire day sleeping and eating, nagging sometimes too. Her bump is a bit bigger now and looking at her is favorite thing to do these days.

There has been no threats from the enemy and that only means they haven’t yet realized we tricked them. They still think they have the upper hand in this battle and that happens to be a very good thing for us. They are determined and confident that they will win this battle. That is what we are going to use against them. Their determination and confidence. Once they come for the battle, I will sure my soldiers and I show them what they have never seen before.

I can’t wait for this battle to be over already.

“Wake up sleepy head” I place the tray of food on the nightstand and seat by her side on the bed. She grumbles as she covers her head with the duvet, completely ignoring me. That has been the usual reaction these past days. Waking up from bed in the morning is her worst part of the day.

“Babe, it’s almost noon, you have to wake up”

“Why are you even here? You are supposed to be in your office”

“Well, I was there, I just came to check on you. Come on…” I take off the duvet from her body and she grumbles. “You have to freshen up and have something to eat. You can’t starve my little munchkin” I say as I kiss her tummy. “You have to eat something for the both of you”

“Fine!” She surrenders. “Will be right back”

“Hardin!” I hear Miguel call through mind link and I swear to God my heart falls in my abdomen.

They are here.

Those bloody Alphas are here to cause trouble again, like what the hell am I going to do with them?

“What’s wrong brother?” I ask just to be sure.

“We have spotted the Fire Elemental roaming in the woods. Should we get him?”

“Of course you should! Get the bastard and wait for me to arrive. I’m going to teach him a good lesson that he will never forget” I block the mind link and turn to Reign who is looking at me with expectant eyes.

He is here to spy on us so they can come here and take my mate away from me again. I swear I’m going to kill him.

He’s going to regret ever stepping foot into this pack, in his grave!

“What’s wrong babe?”

“It’s the fire Elemental, Miguel just spotted him in the woods. I have to go ”

“You mean Reed?”

“Yeah. Please do not leave the castle, I will be right back when I must have finished with him” I plead as I hastily walk out of the bedroom with a dangerous look on my face.

I hate those guys, the Alphas, the Elementals, I hate them all! And right now all I want to do is kill them!

“Miguel, where are you?” I ask through mind link the moment I step out of the castle.

“At the female training ground”

“I’ll be right there” I block the mind link and take the right turn that leads to the training center. I am so eager to get there already so I use my super speed to run and them in no time, I arrive at the training ground where I meet Miguel, Kol and Carl standing around someone whom I presume should be the fire Elemental, I rush over to them.

“Here’s the bastard.” Kol announces.

“What are you doing here Reed?”

“Alpha Hardin” He calls as he tries to stand up but Miguel forcefully pushes him back to the ground and he falls on his butt.

I almost laugh, but I don’t.

“Have to come here to spy on us?”

“No I haven’t.” He denies flatly and that irks me.

“You dare lie to me?”

“I’m not lying Alpha Hardin”

“If you didn’t come here to spy, then what did you come to do, if I may ask?”

“I came to see Luna Reign” He announces and before I can even realize myself, I punch him hard in the face and his nose bleeds.

I sure just broke a bone there.

He sits upright once more and wipes the blood with his hands as he looks up at me. I decide to relieve some of his stress by stooping down to his level and staring deep into his eyes.

“You have the audacity to come into my pack and ask to see my mate, after all what you guys did to her?” I ask in a deadly as I feel the anger boiling in my chest. I feel like ripping him apart right here and now.

“Alpha Hardin” He calls breathing hard.

That punch was a hard one and would have knocked out any ordinary werewolf. He is special and that’s why he is still conscious and breathing hard right now.

I can only imagine how much pain he’s feeling.

“You were about to say something” I remind him and he nods and looks at me.

“I understand the reason for you rage”

“No you do not” I cut him off with a shout.

“Trust me… I do” Wipes off blood from his nostrils. “And I’m surprised that you haven’t killed me yet”

“Oh, I will. I just want you to say your last words.”

“Like I said, I came here to see Luna Reign”

“Why do you want to see her?”

“To thank her for saving my life” He states and I look at him in awe. That is when it clicks. The last time they were here for an ambush, Reign wounded him and he was supposed to be dead by now if he had not gotten healed by her.

Right now he is strong and healthy and alive, that can only mean that Reign healed him.

Oh, that compassionate Luna of mine. She is indeed the Paramount Luna.

“Reign healed you?” I ask

“Yes she did and that’s why I’m here to thank her”

“Let me get this straight. You abducted her, locked her in your dungeon and planned to kill her baby. Despite all that, she decided to heal you and now you are here to thank and then go back to continue planning on how to kill her and her entire pack, isn’t that right?”

“No, it’s not”

“What do you mean by, it’s not?”

“Before Luna Reign healed me, she opened my eyes to a lot of things I didn’t see going on. She made me realize the kind of greedy man my Alpha is how he is going to get rid of me the moment I lose these powers. Kol had once told me the same thing but I didn’t believe him, but Luna Reign’s words hit me hard and brought me to the realization of this painful truth. That’s why I decided to leave pack, I no longer work for my Alpha. I am no longer interested in fighting this war!” He explains and I look at him Intensely straight in his eyeballs.

His eyes are not searching and that means he’s not lying, but I still cannot believe him.

“They sent you to do this right?”

“What? God no! I’m serious! This is all from me. I longer work for them, I swear on my life!”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“I don’t believe you” I say as I rise up and turn to Miguel.

“Take him away” I command and Miguel forcefully jerks him from the ground.

“Seriously Alpha Hardin? You seem to be forgetting something”

“And that is?”

“I am a fire Elemental, do you honestly think I would have let Miguel get a hold of me those woods if I didn’t mean well? I would’ve roasted him before he even got a hold of me, but I let him bring me here. Right now I’m not causing a chaos, not because I can’t, but because I don’t want to. I mean well. All I want is to see Luna Reign and thank her personally for saving my life. That’s all” He explains.

I look at Miguel who has on a blank expression on his face.

What he just said actually makes some sense. The Reed I know will never let anyone take him without a fight, but here is all calm and not throwing fire balls at us, but… I still do not believe him.

Alpha Lance is a very smart guy, this could be one of his tricks to get under our skins.

I will not be fooled by a mere Elemental!

“Take him away”

“Leave him!” Someone commands.

“Luna Reign” I hear Reed call and immediately, my heart falls in my abdomen.

I slowly turn around, only to see Reign walking towards us with her baby bump very visible.

That just sold us out.

“Reign what are you doing here?”

“I’m sorry Hardin, I know you asked me not to come out, but I had to.”

“Babe…” I call as I walk over to her.

“I just want to talk with him. Please” She pleads.

“He could harm you”

“No he wouldn’t!” He gently pushes me aside and walks over to Reed who is trapped in Miguel’s strong arms.

“Please let him go” She pleads and Miguel frowns.

“But Reign…”

“Please” She cuts him and he looks at me. I nod against my will and step behind her, ready to take Reed down in case he tried to do anything funny.

“How are you still pregnant Luna?” Reed’s asks surprised.

“Are you shocked your plans didn’t work?” I ask annoyed.

“Hardin!” Reign calls with a warning tone and u stay quiet. “Thank you!” She says as she turns to face Reed once more.

God, she is bossy!

“Reed, it’s a long story I do not want to talk about. Let’s just get to why you are here.” She explains and Reed just smiles as he nods his head

“Thank you Luna”

“You are welcome. You don’t look too good”

“Yeah, Alpha Hardin wasn’t very pleased to see me.”

“I see… So, why are you here?”

“I came to thank you, for saving my life” He says with a husky voice.

“You are very much welcome Reed, it’s so good to see strong and healthy”

“Yeah, it actually feels very good to be strong and healthy again”

“That’s nice”

“I also wanted to thank you for opening my eyes to the truths of this whole battle with the other Alphas. I have decided not to fight on their side any more, I left my pack, together with my mate”

“That’s really nice to hear, but you know they will try to hunt you down right?”

“I know, that’s why I sent my mate to Goodland already. They can’t harm her there”

“What about you? Why are you still here?”

“Well, I just want stick around for a while. To see how the battle goes”

“You know you are always welcome here, right?”

“Nah, I don’t think Alpha Hardin is going to welcome me.”

“Reed, he is the Paramount Alpha and he doesn’t have a choice. As long as you don’t cause any trouble, it is his duty to take you in” Reign explains and I roll my eyes in annoyance.

“I know that, but trust me, I’m fine where I am. They won’t be able to harm me.”

“Reed I’m so happy you made this decision for yourself. I can assure you that you will not regret it”

“I know I won’t. Thank you very much Luna”

“You are welcome” She turns to me and raise my brows. “What I’m about to ask you might seem difficult, but please you have to do it”

“What do you want me to do?”

“Let him go”

“Babe I …”

“Please babe, trust me. Reed is a changed man, I can assure you that”

“What if he goes…”

“He won’t!”

“How are you so sure about that?”

“I’m not sure, I know he won’t! Please Hardin, let him go. Trust me he is no longer on their side” She gently caresses my cheeks.

All the hair on my head stand erect and right now saying no to her feels like I’m committing an abomination!

I hate it when she does this to me. I feel very overpowered right now!

Women!

“Fine!” I give up and turn to Miguel and the others. “Let’s let him go” I confirm and they all nod without saying anything.

Reign and her authority.

“Thank you very much Luna”

“You are welcome Reed and anytime you feel threatened, jut6s come here, you will always find safety here”

“Thank you”

“You can go now”

He nods and leaves.

“I swear he shows his face here next time, he’s gonna be leaving without balls” Kol swears.

“You will do no such thing Kol”

“Let’s watch and see” He says as he leaves. Miguel and Carl leave as well leaving just the two of us in the field.

“Are really sure about this Reign?” I ask and she looks at me long and hard with uncertainty in her eyes.

She then shrugs and smiles.

“To be very honest, I don’t really know either” She says and starts to walk away.

“What?” I ask following her “Are you being serious right now?”

“Relax Hardin, your blood is too hot!”

“Is that all you have to say?”

“Let’s prepare for war darling!”

I swear this girl will be the end of this entire pack!
