THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Reign’S POV

“Babe, are you sure you are okay? Don’t you need to see the pack doctor?” Hardin asks for the umpteenth time as we arrive at the castle and I can’t help but roll my eyes.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

I understand that he cares a lot for me, but at times, his overprotective nature suffocates me. No matter how much I try to emphasize on the fact that I’m fine, he doesn’t listen.

Stubborn!

“Love, I said I’m cool. If I wasn’t, I would be the first to tell you. You very well know that”

“Are you sure?” He asks yet again.

“Very sure” I turn to face Miguel and the rest.

Louisa seems very confused in our midst but the way she’s smiling warms my heart. This girl has been through a lot and I’m going to make sure henceforth, she’s going to live a better life.

“And… who is this young girl?” Hardin asks, looking at Louisa.

“Her name is Louisa, another one of Lance’s sex victims.”

“You know Melissa tried to explain to me all what that man does to these young girls, but I didn’t quite get her because I kept thinking about you. Louisa, do you mind explaining to me exactly what he does?”

“It’ll be a pleasure Alpha Hardin” She responds with a light bow.

“Come with me” Hardin leads us all to the living room where we all sit down to hear what Louisa has to say.

“Do well to tell me what exactly it is that going on in that pack, my dear” Hardin urges.

“Alpha Hardin, the poor are perishing. Like, we have literally nothing! We live in tents and thatched houses right there in the slumps and the last thing we do is eat well. Our infant mortality rate is at the peak and I swear to you we are dying!” She explains and the we all go mute.

I look at Hardin at I can see him gritting his teeth in anger. If he were to meet Lance at this moment, only the Moon goddess knows what he will do to him.

“He drove all of us out of our homes in the pack residence, forced our fathers to take down our houses and rebuild mansions for the rich subjects. Our brother and mates are labourers for the rich and we the girls are their sex slaves. Once a girl from the slumps turns sixteen, she is taken to the brothel where she is trained to satisfy men. I have been doing that since I turned sixteen” She explains and

“That son of a bitch!”

Hardin curses in fury as bangs the table as he rises up from his and rises up. Every one goes stays still as he fumes about in anger.

The last thing we want to do right now is step on his very last nerves.

“How come I have never known about this? How have you all been able to keep this for so long?” Hardin asks in frustration.

“He threatens and kills us as well. The crime for breaking rules or running your mouth is punishable by dead, so that’s why we all stayed quiet.”

“So, about how many girls are there in the brothel?”

“I don’t know the exact number, but they should be over a hundred. We are really many in thereSweet Moon goddess!”

“Hardin we have to do something. We have to get this people out of there. They are suffering”

“I know baby, I know” He cries and paces about the living room clearly frustrated and confused, but I trust Hardin. One private meeting with Miguel and Leonard and they are going to come up with a plan to resolve this issue.

Lance is so dead.

“Louisa I don’t even know where to begin but I promise you that I’m going to do all I can to remedy the situation. You see, no matter what, that is Lance’s pack and I can’t just go there and cause trouble, I have to consult other Alphas for us to sort this out before I take any action. For now just feel at home okay, you are safe here. I promise I’m going to stop all what’s going in in that pack”

“Thank you very much Alpha Hardin, I really appreciate you accepting me here and thank you Luna Reign, for taking me away from there.”

“Louisa I should be thanking you instead, you just gave us the upper hand in this battle again by releasing Kol and I and we can never thank you enough for that” I explain with a smile. “Uh, Kelly” I call a maid who passes by and she turns to face me.

“You are welcome Luna Reign”

“Thank you very much Kelly, please I need you to take Louisa with you, give her clean clothes to wear and make sure she is comfortable. Can you do that for me?”

“With pleasure Luna”

“Thank you. Louisa you can go with Kelly, she’s going to take care of you”

“Thank you Luna”

“You are welcome”

Kelly takes her away and I turn to the guys, who look very pleased to see me. I’m so glad to be here with them.

“Honestly Reign the next time you both pull that kind of stunt on us again, I’m gonna retaliate” Carl cries and I can’t help but laugh.

“How was that a stunt man? we got locked up in a cold dungeon, crappy food and smelly water, there’s no way I’m ever gonna pull such an expensive stunt.”

“Yeah whatever”

“Guys, stop fighting. There’s something I have been meaning to ask” I try to call their attention.

“And what could that be?”

“What exactly is it that we are fighting for?”

“To win the battle of course”

“And after that?”

“Well, our pack gets edified and so does our Alpha. He becomes way stronger and our pack becomes the strongest for the next one thousand years.”

“Exactly, but then, you don’t expect power to come from the sky do you?”

“I … I don’t think I understand”

“Babe, you read The battle of the Elementals, that is your favorite book. What did Alpha Elijah use to get his powers”

“The sword of edification!” He announces in amusement and I smile.

“Exactly!”

“Yeah, he used the sword of edification and legend has it that in every battle, the edification tool changes”

“Exactly and this year, we have no idea what it is”

“I believe the moon goddess is still to make that revelation to us” Leonard chips in.

“I can bet on my life that once that revelation is made and we finally know what it is we are fighting for, the battle will only get hotter. We need to brace ourselves” I caution and Hardin holds my hand in his.

“And we will babe, we will.”

“Well, if that’s all then…” Miguel’s starts talking as he rises from his couch. “I think I should go back and check on the kids, see how they are holding up”

“Alright buddy, see you around”

“Sure. Luna, Kol, I’m happy to have you both back. Right now I feel complete”

“Thank you Miguel” I reply with a sweet smile and he leaves.

“We will take our leave as well, anything comes up, hit us up”

“Will do just that”

“Cool” Both Carl and Leonard exit the living room leaving just Hardin, Kol and I and right now, I don’t know how I feel.

Both brothers are just looking at each other like this is their first time meeting.

“Uh, I guess I should take my leave now” Kol suddenly announces as he rises from his seat.

“Leaving to where exactly?” Hardin asks with a baffled expression.

“To my home of course”

“No, this is your home Kol. I already asked the maids to prepare you a chamber and it’s all set. It’s at the North wing of the castle and I will take you there myself” Hardin explains and both Kol and I look at him amused.

The look on Kol’s face tells me he is amazed by what his brother has done. He turns around fully and takes a step closer to Hardin.

“You, you did that?”

Kol is a soft talker, like he normally talks softly in a low tune, but his tune is especially soft at this moment and I think he is going to break down soon.

“I had to do it brother, you have no idea how much I have anticipated your coming.”

“But, I’m kind of the bastard son, an outcast and I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to live here with you all”

“Says who exactly?”

“The pack Laws”

“Damn the pack laws! I am Alpha and I decide what happens in this pack and I say my brother will live with me in the castle because it’s his father’s castle and he has got every right to live there too. This is your home bro, and you have every right to be here. Let no one tell you otherwise” Hardin explains.

“I … I don’t even know what to say. I still have stuff to go and take from my old home”

“I will send guards to go get them for you. Kol it’s too dangerous out there for you, for all of us. Remember we have enemies at our tails and we can’t afford to be reckless. Those Alphas are wounded and any opportunity they get, they are going to mess us up. Please bro, just stay here and I promise I will make you feel at home”

“I know you will bro, I know you will. I’m just being skeptical cuz this is all strange to me. I have never lived in a pack before and I guess that’s what’s freaking me out”

“Well, you shouldn’t because this is not just any pack, this is your father’s pack, which makes it yours too. You are literally king around here”

“No! you are king!”

“Ugh! Kol, I swear I wish we grew up together, we would have made great arguing buddies”

“I’m done watching this bromance, I’m off to the bedroom” I interrupt.

Honestly they both look so cute having their bro fight, but I’m so exhausted and I need to rest.

“Babe” Hardin calls as he pulls me into his arms and capturesmy lips in a brief kiss and by the time he releases me, my face is all red from blushing.

I’m never getting used to these sweet gestures of his.

“I’m just gonna go show Kol his chambers, I’ll be right back”

“And I will be waiting”

” That’s my girl.”

“See you at dinner Kol”

“See ya”

I disengage from myself from his hold and they both exit the living room.

I can’t help but admire them from behind.

They both have the same body build but the fact the Hardin is Alpha makes him bigger and more intimidating, but they are no doubt very fine men.

I swear their father passed down good genes and I’m so lucky to be one of their mates.

I can be rest assured that my children will be just as fine.

Well, that is for later, for now I need to freshen up and rest before mum and Kylie return.

I have a lot of explanation and hugging to do when they return from training.

It feels so nice to be back home.
