THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Hardin’S POV

This is bullshit!

Absolute bullshit!

Alpha Lance has now got both Reign and Kol at his mercy.

This is not good at all.

Kol asked me not to do anything outrageous but I can’t just sit here and do nothing. That’s my only brother and mate we are talking about here. I will go crazy if anything happens to either of them.

I need to act fast!

“Hardin” Mum calls as she barges into the office with a worried look on her face. “I thought you said both Kol and Reign will be returning tonight, it’s getting late already, where are they?” She asks worried and I just shake my head and sigh.

“Mum, that was the plan, but things changed”

“What do you mean by, things changed?”

“Actually, the Fire Elemental overhead Kol and Reign discussing the escape plan and Kol was arrested. Right now he has been locked up too”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Oh my God, this is serious! What are we going to do about this?”

“I just mind linked Miguel and Leonard, when they get here, we will figure something. For now mum, please can you help Megan train the female soldiers, I can see this battle taking another dimension. Please help her out”

“I will do just that son and please don’t let this issue get the better of you. You brother and mate are doing just fine.” She coos as she pulls me into her warm embrace and I hug her with all my might.

Being an Alpha is tough. There’s a war going on and every one is panicking, I have to be the one to instill hope and confidence in every one else, I have to be strong for everything else.

Even at this very crucial moment of my life when my mate and Luna is in grave danger, I still have to stay sane and strong for my subjects.

Sometimes I just want to give up, but even if I do, there is no place for me to run to. Besides, a Colton never gives up.

I am a Colton descendant and nothing can make me give up in this war. No matter what I’m going through, I stand strong and confident because I know I am not alone.

I have my mother, Beta, Gamma, my entire pack and even my ancestors to help me overcome these challenges.

I am more than a conqueror.

“Thank you very much for the words of encouragement mum, I really appreciate you looking out for me always” I thank her and she breaks the hug and kisses my forehead.

“I can’t do otherwise son. I will leave you to settle this issue now. See you later”

“Take care mum, I love you”

“I love you more”

And I know she does.

Few minutes later, Miguel, Leonard and Carl walk into my office and I can feel the tension in my nerves subside. Whenever there’s a problem and these three men show up for us to sort it out, we always sort it out one way or the other. That’s why right now that they are here, there’s this sudden inner peace in me that I just can’t explain. I know for sure that we are going to find a way out.

“You called”

“Yes I did”

“Sup?”

“I think there’s trouble” I report as I swallow dryly.

I can still recallhow all the hair on my body stood erect when Kol mind linked me that he had been captured. It took me a whole lot of strength to stay sane up till this moment.

“The suspense is killing me bro”

“Kol has been captured by Alpha Lance” I announce dryly.

“What?” They all ask in unison, aghast.

“How did that happen?” Miguel asks alarmed and both Clark and Leonard start pacing about the living room.

“He said the Fire Elemental overhead him talking discussing the escape plan with Reign”

“How on earth are they able to keep him in bondage? He is an Elemental for goodness sake!” Carl wails.

“Don’t underestimate Alpha Lance’s abilities. Remember his pack is one of the richest and most powerful in the world, he must have very good tools with him”

“I can only imagine what Kol is going through right now”

“That is why I have to go and get them myself. Kol asked me not to do anything outrageous but I can’t just stay here and do nothing, I have to go and find them!”

“Really? You think that’s the right thing to do? Go out there all alone and put yourself at risk?”

“Well it’s better than staying here and doing nothing. My mate and brother are out there locked up in some dungeon and I have no idea what it is they do to them everyday, I can’t just sit here and do nothing, I have to go and find them myself!”

“You will do no such thing Alpha Hardin” Leonard objects as he stops on his tracks and turns to face me.

“And why not? If I may ask?”

“Have you asked yourself how it was possible for them to capture Kol?” he asks calmly.

“Well they probably ambushed him and beat him up till he got weak”

“Kol is an Elemental, he might not be the strongest, but he is powerful and mere guards cannot hold him down, you say they could have battered him but I say that’s impossible, with just the wave of one hand, Kol can bring down that entire castle with a tornado. They must have done something serious, something that made it impossible for him to use his hands”

“But there’s just one thing that can stop an elemental from using his or her powers and it’s the bracelet and there happens to be just one.” Carl explains.

“Even if there were two, remember that bracelet, once worn can only be taken off by Kol himself, that means there absolutely no need to wear the bracelet on him”

“So, what do you think they did to stop him from using his Powers”

“They must have probably tightly bound his hands. Remember he controls the air by hand motions and if his hands are bound, then he cannot do anything significant. In fact every Elemental needs his or her hands loose in order to use his or her powers. Once your hands are bound or you have on the bracelet, there’s nothing you can do”

“Oh… I see…”

“Alpha Lance has got both Kol and Reign, he very well knows you will come for them and I can bet in my life that he is prepared for you and once you show up, he is going to ambush you, bind your hands and throw you into his dungeon as well. Just imagine that our Alpha is captured as well, wecannot afford to let that happen!”

He explains and I let out a heavy sigh of frustration.

“So what do you suggest we do?”

“If Kol has asked you not to do anything outrageous, that only means he knows a way out. I suggest we wait for him to carry out his plan”

“What if they hurt them before he can carry out that plan?”

“They won’t. Those Alphas do not have the capacity to hurt Luna or Kol, trust me. They can only keep them hostage but they can’t hurt them. Trust me Alpha Hardin, the last thing we can afford right now is your absence. Please, don’t do anything outrageous” He pleads and I just shake my head and exit my office.

All of this is nothing but bullshit!
