Chapter 46
Reign’S POV
If I say Beta Miguel’s words didn’t ring hard on my all day, then I’ll be lying. I couldn’t do anything properly. I kept thinking about what he said, kept thinking about the possibility of it being true.
What if Alpha Hardin really loves me, what if he’s just confused and frustrated like they claim?
What if all this is actually true?
Dang it!
I hate having to be in this situation. I just wish the days could go by quick so I would leave this place.
“There’s something fundamentally wrong with me” I whisper to myself as I walk further into the woods.
It’s almost ten pm and I don’t even know what I’m going to find there, all I know is that I need to be far from that castle, far from everyone else so I can think.
Think about what exactly?
I do not know.
I just need to be somewhere alone with my thoughts.
I miss my Mentor. I miss him so much that it hurts to think that he is dead and gone, all thanks to Alpha Hardin. While growing up, he didn’t play just the role of a Mentor in my life. He was my mother, my teacher, my adviser, my best friend, my fight buddy and to some extent, my father. I didn’t really feel my father’s absence in my life because he was there. Even the night I had my first full moon period, I panicked and rushed to him and he panicked too cuz he was a man and he really wasn’t used to stuff like that, but guess what, he helped me and educated me on how to handle it.
I loved my Mentor more than anyone else in my life, more than even my father and late sister, Wilma and I don’t think I will ever forgive Alpha Hardin for taking him away from me just like that.
I will never forgive him for ordering his guards to kill my mentor.
I sit on a fallen tree trunk and brush off the tear that has managed to trickle down my cheeks.
If I knew things were going to turn out this way, I would never have wanted to be free, I would have insisted on getting locked up for the rest of my life. My sister and mentor would still be alive and my father would not detest me the way he does now.
I honestly wish I saw some red flags before all this happened, I would have done my best to prevent getting myself and everyone else in this situation. Now that the deed has been done, I can only rely on hope.
Hope that a place called Goodland actually exists and that the werewolves there were as friendly as my mentor had described. If that’s not the case, then when I leave from here, I’m going to be nothing but a hunted rogue.
One thing for sure is that I would rather be a hunted right than be a servant in this pack and watch my mate treat me the way he does.
I need to get far away from him before I loose my sanity.
Hardin’S POV
“Going to check on Reign?” Miguel asks the moment I walk to the door. I turn around to face him and I frown when I see a sarcastic smirk forming on his lips.From NôvelDrama.Org.
“That’s none of your business” I fire back and he smiles.
“She was grateful for the apples anyway, congratulations, you just won her heart”
“I pity my cousin for having such a disappointment like you for a mate”
“Reign would be saying the same thing about you right now” He says shrugging carelessly and without warning, I lunge the apple in my hand at him and he swiftly dodges and it hits the wall and falls on the floor.
“Easy bro!”
“Douche!” I say as I walk out of the office, slamming the door behind me.
He does nothing but annoy me all the damn time.
I walk out of my chambers to the servant quarters…
Yes, he was right, I’m going to check on Reign. I need to see her face, else I won’t have a good night’s sleep.
I walk over to her room, but I notice that something is off.
I can’t smell her pheromone.
That can only mean one thing, she’s not in there.
Crap!
Why is she so stubborn?
I hastily walk out of the servant quarters to the field where I met her the previous night, but I don’t find her there.
I want to panic, but I decide to calm myself down and find her myself before raising any alarm. After all what I did to her the other time, I don’t think she would have the mind to try to escape again.
She can’t be that stupid.
As I walk into the woods, I hear growls from afar and my heart stings when Reign’s pheromone hits me hard. I hear a shewolf howl in pain and I don’t need to be told that that’s Reign.
She has been attacked!
I hastily take off my clothes and I keep behind a tree and shape shift into my big bad white and black Alpha wolf.
Adam takes over me and immediately speeds to the direction of the howl and when we arrive there, I almost loose it when I see a grey wolf pinning Reign’s snow white wolf to the ground and almost sinking his canines into her neck. I rush over to him and push him off her and he looses his balance. I lunge at him and tackle him to the ground, making sure he remains pinned beneath me as I give him an ugly scratch on his left forelimb and he howls in pain and that’s when I realize something that stops me from snapping his neck.
He’s a very young werewolf, not more than seventeen.
I don’t kill children.
I get off him and he immediately runs away. I look at Lyla who’s lying helplessly on the ground, howling faintly and it breaks my heart totally.
She has such a stubborn human. Reign put them both in this situation.
“Adaaammm!” I call the moment Adam starts walking towards her.
“I need to know his she’s doing” He explains.
“Yeah, but I need to be the one to carry her home, now let’s go where my clothes are at”
“Are you sure you’ll come back for her?”
“What the hell are you saying? She’s not your mate alone, she’s my fucking mate too and I can’t just leave her here!” I explain and he runs to the tree where I kept my clothes and instantly shapeshift. Once I’m in full human form, I hastily put on my clothes and rush over to where Reign is….
Holy fuck!
She has shape shifted to her human form and she’s now completely naked. I look around if I can see her clothes only to see that they have been shredded into pieces. She shapeshifted with her clothes on.
I take calculated steps towards her and when I’m close, I stoop down and scoop her petite naked self into my arms and make my way out of the woods.
All my hormones have been activated this instant and I’m scared of what I might do to her.
Holy Moon goddess, please help me!
Once I arrive at her door, I kick it open and hastily walk into the room. I walk over to her bed and carefully place her on it and it’s like that’s when she realizes that she stark naked and tries to cover up herself with her head bowed down.
She’s scared.
I doubt if she has ever been naked before a man.
I don’t know why but for some reason, I’m happy that I’m the one who got to save her. I don’t think I would be able to take it of another man ever sees her naked..
I lean close to her and scan her body for any wounds and I let out a heavy sigh of relieve when I don’t find any.
She still hasn’t said a word and I’m happy she hasn’t.
I retreat to her wardrobe where I take out a towel. I take long strides over to the bed and wrap the towel around her body.
“Take a shower and get some rest” I say quietly as I walk to the door and when I get there, I turn around to face her once more. “Hence forth, you are banned from roaming any part of the castle or the woods at night” Then I walk out of the bedroom.
I have said this before and I’m saying this again. Reign has a habit of always striking all the wrong nerves in my body.
She’s going to give me a heart attack one of these days.
