THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

“Did your mate do this to you?”

That question rang on my mind all night and until now I can’t get it off my mind.

He wanted to know, but I couldn’t tell him.

Every one speaks so well of their mates. Last night, Avery found her mate and Tasha even explained how she had to drag Avery back home else she would’ve gone with her mate.

That kind of love, that kind of bond is what my Mentor always talked about but my mate didn’t even give us the opportunity to experience it.

Alpha Hardin lost his mate but it’s very obvious that he still loves her very much because of how well he speaks of her. It’s disheartening to listen to others speak so well of their mates when I can’t do same and my mate can’t do same either.

We are worlds apart and we certainly hate…

Despite everything that man has done for me, I keep convincing my self that I hate him, I try all I can to make my heart understand that loving him is not healthy for us but it won’t listen to me. After everything he has done to me, to my wolf, to us as a whole, we still crave him, we still yearn for him to love us, accept us and protect us like a mate should.

We still love him and that’s what breaks me everyday, because I know he doesn’t feel the same, because I know he hates me because he thinks I killed my sister. I honestly hate my life for turning out this way.

“Reign” A voice calls from behind and it snaps me out of thoughts. I quickly raise my head up and I see the Maid Supervisor. I quickly wipe my tears away and rise up from the chair I was seated on.

“What’s wrong child, why are in tears?” She asks concerned as she walks closer to me.

“Nothing ma’am, nothing at all”

“I don’t believe you, tell me, did Aloha Hardin hurt you” She asks calmly.

“No! No! He didn’t” I say shaking my head violently “He didn’t hurt me, instead, he applied medicine on my arm and it’s a bit better now”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes ma’am” I say nodding.

Wait, what if he did hurt me indeed, it’s not like she would be able to do anything. He is the Alpha and he is the King, no one can pass judgement on him, he passes judgement on people.

“Then what’s making you cry?”

“Like I said ma’am it’s nothing. Is there anything you want me to do?” I ask and she lets out a heavy breath as she shakes her head.

“Well, there’s a very important guest at Alpha Damien’s chambers, he’s the Paramount Alpha, Alpha Hardin and I want you to go and serve him because you are very organized and diligent. I know you will do it perfectly” Her words trail away on my mind and I just stand there looking at her like I had seen a ghost.

Alpha Hardin, that’s my Alpha, my mate!

What is he doing here.

“Reign!” She calls firmly and I snap out of my thoughts. “Did you here what I just said?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Yes.. yes ma’am”

“Good, now go to…”

“Ma’am” I cut her off. “Can I not go? Can you please assign someone else?”

“No Reign, the other maids are very occupied and like I said, I want you to do it because you are organized and diligent, now go” She orders.

“Yes ma’am” I say with a slight bow as I make my way out of the laundry room with a million questions ringing on my mind.

Why is the Alpha here?

How is he going to react when he sees me?

I am about to pee on my pants. I didn’t expect to me meeting him again so soon.

I make my way out of the servant quarters of the castle and go over to the Alpha’s chambers where the mighty living room is located. I walk into the sophisticated kitchen where I meet chefs busy cooking and doing other kitchen chores.

“Reign, you finally arrived!” One of the chefs announces on seeing me.

“Ma’am Cassandra said to come and Serve the Alpha’s guest” I explain.

“Yes Reign, you have to go and serve the Almighty Alpha Hardin, I’m actually trembling right now that I’m preparing a meal for him, I can’t afford to mess up and for you…” She pauses and takes in a rep breath and later releases it. “Please do well to serve him properly, we can’t afford to make a bad impression of our pack.” She explains and I can see the nervousness in her eyes and her voice is actually shaky.

Damn!

I didn’t know he was a such a big deal. How would I even know when it had been barely a week since I started interacting with the rest of the world?

“Is that clear?”

“Yes Ma’am, I’ll do my best”

“That’s my girl. For now, you have to serve him some refreshments before the meal gets ready. Over there..” She points over the kitchen islands and on it lies a try with some refreshments on it and an orange.

I love oranges!

I walk over to kitchen island and carry up the tray and make my way out of the kitchen.

I pray when he sees me, he doesn’t lose his mind and smack me or worst still tell Alpha Damien all what happened at our pack. If that happens, I know Alpha Damien will drive me of his pack and I’ll become an pathetic rogue again and I doubt any other pack will accept me into their pack.

“Sweet Moon Goddess, please help me.” I pray silently as I make my way into the mighty living room and when I step into it, I almost faint when my eye spots Alpha Hardin.

I actually freeze for a while and memories of all what he did to me flood my mind. I feel a sharp pain course through my heart and tears start stinging in my eyes.

That’s my mate who rejected and punished me for a crime I did not commit.

That’s my mate who despises and finds my existence as an abomination.

My hands are a bit shaky and my left arm start to hurt again. Just the sight of has activated all my pain receptors and right now I’m in so much pain. I just want turn around and run away, but I can’t.

I don’t want to offend Alpha Damien.

The two Alpha’s are engaged in a deep conversation and have not yet noticed my presence. How I wish it stays that way. I take calm, slow, calculated steps to the sitting area where they are both seated, hoping that they just ignore me but that dream is shattered when Alpha Damien snaps his head up and when he sees me he goes…

“Reign!” He calls with a smile and immediately, Alpha Hardin snaps his head and our eyes meet.

His eyes have got a dark shade of brown, somewhere between chocolate and brown and they are mesmerizing. His lashes stand proudly on his eyelids above those beautiful eyes, ready to protect them and of course, makes them look more charming.

I can see his well chiseled jawline tightens in anger and his eyes darken. He creases his brows and I expect him to rise up and throw a tantrum but he just sits still with his brows still creased.

He doesn’t say a word, he just keeps looking at me.

“Where did you find her?” He suddenly asks and Alpha Damien turns to look at him.

“Actually, I found her a few days ago in the woods, she was terribly hurt. I knew she was a rogue but I couldn’t hurt or abandon her because of her condition so I brought her here”

“So, has she told you what put her in that condition?”

“No, she said she doesn’t want to talk about it”

“I see…” He says nodding with his eyes not departing from me.

I am so close to fainting right now.

I nervously walk over to the table and place the tray containing the wine and two glasses and the orange.

Seriously? An orange.

“It’s a good thing your servants now know how much I love oranges. Reign, help me cut the orange, we will talk later”

He says with a cold tone and Alpha Damien shoots me a confused glance.

This can’t be good.

What does he want us to talk about?
