THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Hardin’S POV

The days ran by fast and I wish I could backward them. I wish I could turn back the hands of time, I wish there was a way for me to make things right.

I wish… I wish… I wish…

But no matter how much I wish for things to change right now, they won’t. The day has finally come for Reign to leave and I am beyond devastated.

I wish she didn’t have to go.

I need her.

This entire pack needs her.

I take calculated steps towards her bedroom and when I get to her door, I stand by it and let out a heavy sigh of frustration. This is actually the last time I’ll be entering here to talk to her. This might be the last day I will be seeing her face.

Sweet Moon goddess, please do a miracle and make her stay. I really love her and I don’t want her to leave. Please.

I knock gently against the door and almost immediately, the door is opened. It seems like she has been expecting me.

“Good morning” I greet sadly and she just nods as she steps aside for me to walk in, which I do. I scan around and I’m surprised to see that everything in the room is in tact. I don’t see any bag or stuff that she will be leaving with. For an instant, I want to think that she has changed her mind and decided to stay, but when I look at her outfit, which happens to be a pair brown khaki trousers and a black t-shirt over it and pair of black Snickers on her feet, I just understand that she is ready to go.

Her beautiful hair is tied up in a pony tail and I fight my urge to touch it.

She’s smartly dressed and she looks stunning as usual.

I will miss her beautiful face, her perfect slender figure, and her very soothing voice.

I wonder if I will be able to survive without her.

“I can see you are ready to go”

“Yeah, I’m just waiting for you to say the word” She replied and all I feel the determination in her voice.

Nothing, I mean nothing can stop her from leaving at point.

“I can’t see any bags, are you leaving without clothes?”

“Yeah” She says nodding.

“Why not?”

“Because I didn’t come her with any. If you’d remember clearly, this are the clothes I had on when you brought me here, it’s only ethical that I leave with the same clothes”

“I want you to take some clothes with you.”

“Let’s not fight over this Alpha Hardin, you won’t make me do what I don’t want to do” She says confidently.

Damn! She’s stubborn!

“So, are you going to go back to the Blue Moon pack?”

“Um… no, but I’m going to stop by and say hi to a few friends over there”

“So, where are you up to now?”

“I don’t really know, just anywhere” She says shrugging and I feel a wave of pain course through my heart.

She has no idea what’s out there. How werewolves considered as rogues are treated. It hurts me to know that she’ll rather be a rogue than stay here with me.

“You do know that you’ll be considered a rogue right?’

“I very well know that” She says confidently and I inch closer to her.

“Reign, you don’t have to go. Please stay and I promise to treat you better. Please” I plead sincerely and she looks at me long and hard and then she bursts into laughter.

“No, this can’t be true. Are you really begging me to stay?”

“Yes I am”

“This is outrageous. After all what you have put me through, you think I’ll just let it go and stay like it never happened?”

“Reign I …”

“Alpha Hardin, we had a deal and it was to serve in your pack for a month and then be released to go wherever I want. The time has come for me to leave, please let me go”

“You really aren’t going to change your mind?” I ask with a creased brow and she nods.

“Justly thought, rightly said” She confirms and I swallow hard as I nod.

I can feel tears forming in my eyes. I need to get out of here before I shed tears before her.

My mum always told me the last thing I should do is let my mate see my tears.

“Alright then, you are free to go”

“Thank you Alpha Hardin” She thanks with a slight bow as she walks over to the door and exits the bedroom without looking behind. The moment she shuts the door, I let the tears spill down my cheeks and without warning, I carry the table at the center of the sitting area and smash it against the wall.

It’s made of glass, so it shatters into pieces.

“Damn it!” I cry in agony as I connect my fist with the wall. My knuckles start bleeding but they heal instantly. I hit the wall over and over again until I can’t feel my knuckles any more.

She didn’t have unto leave like that!

Reign’S POV

“Are you really sure about this Reign?” Ma’am Sophia asks concerned and I just nod my head. I couldn’t leave without telling her good bye. She has been my support system through my stay in this pack and she has the right know that I’m leaving for good.

“Yes Mum, I’m sure about this”

“But you are going to be a rogue and that’s quite dangerous.”

“Not really. My mentor always told me about a place called Goodland. He said it’s a place where wolves like me are welcomed. I need to find it and start my life mum. I can’t stay here and work as a servant for ever. I deserve better”

“Of course you do and Goodland actually is for real, but it’s a very difficult place to locate for someone who has never been there and the journey to the place is not a very smooth one”

“Mum, I am ready to go through anything at all just to get there. I’m going to go over to Blood Moon Pack and ask a few friends there for directions. You don’t have to worry, I’ll be fine”

“Oh Reign, I really wished you could stay”

“I wish I could, but I can’t. I have to do this. My mentor always wished to go to Goodland and now he’s no more and that’s all because of me. I owe it to him to go there and see all what he was talking about. I can’t fail him”

“Alright then, you go safely okay and anytime I come to Goodland, I will find you. Stay safe okay”

“I will, thanks” I say as I hug her.

I’m going to miss her dearly.

“I’ll be on my way now” I announce as I rise up from the couch and walk to the door.

“I love you Reign, always remember that”

“I love you too mum” Then I leave the bedroom.

As I walk towards the boundary of the pack, I have mixed feelings about my departure.

I want to be excited about leaving this pack that has cause me nothing but pain and sorrow for the past weeks, but I can’t and I’m certainly not sad not sad that I’m leaving.

I’m not happy, but I’m not sad, I’m just between.

I’m finally free like I’ve always wanted.

No Anastasia and her crew to bully me, no servants to give scornful looks and above all, no Alpha Hardin to maltreat and taunt me. All of this is supposed to make me go over the moon, but here I am, not even sure of how I feel about this whole situation.

I feel like I’m stuck in a dilemma.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Reign” I hear a deep voice call from behind and when I turn to look, I am shocked at who I see.
