Chapter 118
KOL’S POV
I thought I could stay one night without seeing Luna Reign but I can’t. My conscience won’t let me.
She must feel betrayed and very devastated right now, I have to see her. I have to let her know that I’m on her side. If I don’t see her, I won’t be getting any sleep tonight. My conscience will rip me apart.
I make my way into Alpha Lance’s living room. The last place I want to be ever in my life.
This obnoxious fool of an Alpha.
May I drop dead if he doesn’t have motives at the back of his treacherous mind. He must definitely have a plan other than what Alpha Ralph have right now.
If his greed doesn’t bring him down in this life, then his treachery will.
“Kol?” I hear a male voice call and I do not need to be told before I know it’s Alpha Lance. I turn around to look at him with a smile plastered on my face. “What an entirely unwelcome surprise”
“And what an entirely unsurprising welcome” I respond and he creases his brow, seeming very shocked!
So, why is he shocked?
“You…” He says with all seriousness, with his brows still creased as he takes calculated steps towards me. “Where did you learn that statement?”
“Well…” I shrug. “Mum told me it was my dad’s favorite response to the same statement you just made.
“And who was your dad?”
“I know nothing about him. Mum wouldn’t tell. But I do know he is a dead beat dad”
“Oh, so he didn’t want you”
“You can put it that way.”
“I see… so you had no father to raise you up. No doubt you grew up so mannerless”
“Oh, I see how spoilt you are since you had a father who over pampered you”
“I’m not spoilt” He defends.
“And I’m not mannerless either”
“What are you doing here anyway? It’s nine pm in the night!”
“I’ll tell you, for now I would like to know why you wanted to know who I learned that statement from? It seemed you suspected something” I say as I cross my arms over breasts and patiently wait for him to talk.
“Well, my dad actually used to like that statement a lot. Whenever he had an encounter with the former Alpha of the Wall Street pack, he would make that statement and the Alpha will respond the same way you did and also, the last time we went for the ambush which backfired at the Wall Street Pack, I made the same statement and got the same response from Alpha Hardin.” He explains and I nod my head.
Bingo!
“I see…”
“So, now that I’ve given you the explanation you wanted, can you tell me what you are doing here?”
“I’m here to see the prisoner”
“By the prisoner, you mean Reign?”
“Luna Reign” I correct and he rolls his eyes.
“She is not my Luna”
“Yeah, whatever, I would like you to take me to her.”
“Why do you want to see her, if I may ask?”
“To talk about something that doesn’t concern you”
“Kol, you have some audacity, you know that right?”
“I do not need a reminder for that, just take me there already”
“There is no where I’m ever going to see that tyrant again!” He denies flatly and I see a flicker of fear in eyes. I take a close look at his face and I notice that he has a broken nose and I chuckle.
That must have been Reign’s doing.
Reign taught him an unforgettable lesson.
“Don’t tell me she did that to you” I say laughing and he just stays quiet, proving me right . I laugh harder and almost tumble on the floor. “No way!”
“Shut up!”
“You went blabbing as usual and she shut you up the harsh way. How interesting. That’s my spirit lady!”
“You are a fool!” He insults and I just keep laughing.
I love Reign.
“Alright then…” I say as I stop laughing and put on my serious look again and look up at Alpha Lance who looks like he wants to rip me apart. “That was just an aside, take me to her now”
“Like I said, I’m not going there. Tell one if my guards to lead you there” He declares and walks away.
“Serves you right!” I say with a chuckle as I walk out of the living room.
The guards don’t hesitate to carry out their Alpha’s command. Right now I’m walking along the dark alley of the dungeon to Reign’s cell that was directed to me and I can feel my heart beating abnormally.
This is the first time I betrayed someone in my life and it’s haunting me. The fact that I’m about the face her only makes it worst.
When I get there, I will make sure to stand about two meters away from her. Looking at what she did to Alpha Lance, she can do worse t abacko me.
I won’t let her kill before i explain to her what’s actually going on.
Once I arrive at her cell, my heart sinks into my stomach when I see her lying on the cold floor in a fetus position, shivering.
It’s damn cold in here and I can only imagine how worst it is for her on the floor.
I quickly take off my thick over all and stoop down as give a gentle tap on her arm and …. boy!
The energy…
She swiftly sits up and before I can realize myself I’m in her grasp, against the bar, helpless!Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Just who I wanted to see!” She sneers in a deadly tone and I close my eyes and let out a deep breath.
I had a whole plan on my mind to escape this but she still caught me and now I need the grace of the moon goddess to get her to listen to what I have to say and believe me, else I will be getting more than a broken nose this night.
“I can explain”
“Explain what exactly? How you betrayed the people who were the nice to you or the fact that I’m in those hell hole because of you!” She asks furiously and I can see her eyes turnyellow.
Damn! She’s mad.
“Give me one reason why I shouldn’t hit you hard against this bar till you loose your damn mind?”
“Luna please, listen to me”
“No! You listen to me!” She hisses in anger as she hits me hard against the bar and I can feel a thick liquid trickling out of my nostrils.
She has finally made me bleed.
The truth is that I can just stop her by calling my Air ability and waving my hand to send her flying to the other side of the cell, but I can’t do that.
I kind of deserve this.
“I am going to kill you and feed your miserable body to the crows once I’m out of here. Remember that!” Then she furiously let’s go and I land violent on the floor hitting my head hard.
Just how strong is this girl?
Wait, the freaking bracelet was supposed to stop her strength too, but it appears it did not.
Bloody loop hole!
“I gentle pick myself up and take out a handkerchief from the overall that’s now on the floor and clean my nostrils. When I’m done, I pick up the overall and sit beside her outside the bar.
“Here..” I pass the overall through the bars and she looks at me. Her eyes are back to her charming ocean blue eyes.
“I don’t appreciate hypocritical gestures”
“Don’t be stubborn Luna, you are actually shivering, you need…”
“Well I won’t be shivering if you weren’t such a jerk! I would have been in my castle in the protective arms of my mate, definitely not here!” She hisses bitterly and I sincerely feel bad.
I regret pushing through with this plan.
There had to be another way to do this. I made a mistake.
“Luna I know you are mad at me…”
“I hate you Kol!”
“Can you please listen to what I have say?”
“No, because it can’t get me out of here!”
“Well, it can. You see that bracelet you have on, that’s what preventing you from using your powers Luna”
“So I noticed and stop calling me Luna, I would be a Luna to a traitor!” She blasts in anger and I just cover my face with my palms and shake my head.
Girls and their anger issues.
Always blowing things out of proportion.
“First, I need you to take this overall and cover up yourself, it’s thick enough to keep you warm. Please” I plead and she looks at me long and hard and then she stretches her hand forward and takes the overall.
I let out a heavy sigh of relief as she puts it on. “Thank you” I whisper and she looks up at me.
“I’m still going to kill you the moment I get out of here”
“You no doubt are going to do just that, but maybe if you listen to what I have to say, you’ll change your mind”
“That just makes you not want to listen to you anymore. I don’t want you to change my mind about killing you. Do have any idea how worked up Hardin is right now? How everyone at home would be worried as a result of my absence… well, you wouldn’t because you have no idea what it means to have a home, rogue!”
“Ouch, that hurt” I lament and she just rolls her eyes.
It honestly hurt.
“Hey, I know you are mad, but I swear, what I have today makes sense. Please just listen to me with an open mind, it might be crazy, but I promise it makes sense.”
“Alright then, ride on”
Good… So, first, I could let you out right here and now!”
“How?”
“By taking off that bracelet off your wrist”
“Well, I don’t think anyone can take it off, I’ve tried all day but it won’t bulge”
“That’s because I’m the only one who can actually take it off” I explain and he eyes shoot open in surprise.
“Oh… really?”
“Yeah, once the bracelet is worn on an Elemental, only the Air Elemental can take it off”
“But I’ve got the Air Elemental ability, why can’t I take it off?”
“Cuz you are not entirely an Air Elemental, you have all other Elemental powers.”
“I see…” She says nodding “So, is that why you are working with Alpha Lance?”
“Allow me to go step by step Luna”
“Okay, but are still not going to change my mind” She says with a frown and I giggle Like five year old.
She’s hilarious.
“So, when I ratted their plans to, this pompous ass called Alpha Lance started to suspect my loyalty to them, so I had to do something to gain their trust again”
“And this was it?”
“They actually planned to abduct you and the Earth Elemental, Lloyd said I will be the one to do it, so I figured if I refuse, they would figure be out so I decided to go with the plan”
“Jerk!”
“Yes, I am a jerk”
“So, whose side exactly are you on?”
“Well, I think I wanna be on your side, but I want them to think I’m on their side so I can snoop on them and bring info to you guys.”
“So, you kidnapped me to gain their trust so you could get info from them and bring to us”
“Exactly”
“And why should I trust you?”
“Because I think your mate and I are brothers”
“What?” She asks aghast and I just nod my head.
“Yeah, I just figured it out today after a brief conversation with Alpha Lance.” I explain and she looks at me long and hard.
“Deep brown eyes, high cheek bones, thick black hair, Alpha body build, you definitely have Alpha blood flowing in you. How came none of us suspected it?”
“No idea Luna”
“Hardin will be thrilled to hear that he has a brother”
“Well, if only he doesn’t kill me before I make the announcement”
“Exactly”
“I’ll go over and meet him anyway, I’ll tell him you are under my care and all about the plan, but I promise I will get you out of here”
“Bruh, you just need to take this off my wrist and I can find my way out”
“I know, but I told you about my plan right? I need to be with this guys. Trust me they are planning good for this battle and we need to watch them closely or they might put us in shock. I promise this won’t take long” I explain and she rolls her eyes.
“I’m still going to smack you hard in the face Kol”
“That’s way better that dead Luna, way better”
I say as I take off my sweater and hand over to her.
“What about you?”
“You need it more than I do. I’ll bring you more tomorrow and I’ll make sure he takes you somewhere better.”
“I want to say thank you, but I won’t. Now go away”
“Goodnight sis” I wish and she smiles.
“Goodnight”
I rise up and walk out of the dungeon with a wide smile plastered on my face.
Family!
