Chapter 142
Reign’S POV
“So, are you still gonna go for the sleep over?” Hardin asks the moment I step out of the bathroom and I’m about to say yes, but I look into his eyes, my decision instantly changes.
He looks like of I say yes, he is just going to burst into tears and the last thing I want is for him to start crying right now.
The last thing I want to deal with at this moment is a crying Alpha.
“Babe” I call as I walk towards him.
“Ugh! You are still going to go aren’t you?”
“No, I won’t” I deny and he smiles instantly.
“You are not pulling my legs, are you?”
“No babe, I’m serious, after the meeting, we are going to come back in here and I’m going to give you a very relieveing massage and even more” I whisper in his ear and he smile widens.
Hardin!
“I like the sound of that”
“Of course you do” I walk into the closet to put on my clothes.
“I know Miguel and Leonard are going to rip my head off” He talks aloud from the bedroom
“Why do you say so?”
“You asked me to keep the staff somewhere technical, and I didn’t. Now, it almost got stolen”
“Why didn’t you change the position, if I may ask?”
“Trust me honey, I had a good reason”
“I just hope it makes send to the guys.”
I change into a simple white knee-length gown that curves out my slander figure and a pair of black low sandals on my feet. I walk over to the mirror where I hastily brush my hair and let it fall freely only back.
Hardin hates when I tie it in a bun or pony tail, he never misses the chance to let it loose when I do so.
I apply light lip gloss on my mouth and inspect myself in the mirror. When I’m convince that I look good enough to be in the midst of other people, I walk out of the closet.
“Oh my God babe you look ravishing!” Hardin compliments the moment he sets his eyes on me and I blush like the teenager I am.
“Do I?”
“I feel like we shouldn’t go for this meeting at all.” He says pouting as he takes closes the gap between us and pulls me into his muscular arms and plants a soft kiss on my forehead. “I feel like aging you up right here and now”
“If that is your idea of being romantic, trust me I don’t find it fascinating at all. How can you want to eat me?” I ask in horror and he laughs.
He fucking laughs.
“I think we should go the meeting the others. They must be bored of waiting already”
“Can I get a kiss first?”
“Hardin”
“Please, pretty please” He pleads with puppy eyes and I shake my head as I tip on my toes so I can get to the same level with his face, which I still do not, sadly. He laughs as he brings his face downwards gives me a very passionate kiss that I didn’t realize I was craving for until now.
I love kissing this man like crazy!
“Can we gonow?” I ask the moment we get the kiss.
“One more! Please”
“You wish!” I gently push him aside and make my way out of the bedroom.
Hardin is the sweetest talker in this entire world and when it comes to me, he can let anything else go down the drain just to spend time with me.
If I give into his demands right now, he will end up calling off the meeting which will not be good because those guys have been waiting.
Once we get into his office which happens to be just a few doors away from our bedroom, we meet Kol, Leonard, Carl and Miguel all seated at the sitting area, waiting for us.
Once they see us, they all rise up on their feet and I wonder why.
“Please take your seats”
“Thank you”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“What happened today was nerve wrecking!” Miguel Laments.
“Indeed, just imagine if they really got that staff” Kol joins him.
“You guys should just spit it out, I know you all are here to scold me for not keeping it properly”
“I really want to do that, but I can’t because you are my Alpha!” Leonard confesses.
“Well, being an Alpha has its perks after all”
“Seriously Hardin, you need to hide that staff. This castle is not only mighty, but it is bloody complicated. You can always find a perfect place to keep it”
“Do you all honestly think I haven’t tried to hide it?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Every time I keep it somewhere else, it comes back to that shelf, every damn time!”
“How is that possible?”
“Because there is something I have to get in that room where the first was kept by my father, I don’t know what exactly it is, but when I do, only then will I be able to hide that staff properly” He explains and we all look at him surprised.
He didn’t tell me that, and also what kind of condition is that? It seems unfair to me.
“So, there’s like a puzzle you have to solve before you figure out how to hide the staff”
“Exactly! Not to worry guys, I’m going to figure it out and we are going to hide the staff”
“If you say so. We trust you to do the right thing”
“Cool, so am I safe now?”
“Yeah, kind of.”
“Guys, there is something you need to know”
“And what could that be?”
“Yves could’nt hold the staff”
“What?”
“Yeah, she tried to lift it up, but it seemed too heavy, I don’t know what happened but, she just could’nt lift it up.”
“Uh… I think I know she couldn’t” Leonard speaks up.
“Why?”
“Only an Alpha can hold that staff. No one else can”
“Oh… so that’s why she couldn’t hold. It all makes sense now. I watched her struggle to hold it to no avail and I couldn’t help but wonder what is going on”
“That happened because she’s not an Alpha, only Alpha’s have the power to hold that staff.”
“That makes so much sense”
“So this means, even if we tried to hold it that day you kept insisting we should, it would have been a waste of time. None of us can hold it, except him. Just wow!”
“If they sent Yves to get it, that can only mean they don’t know she couldn’t hold it”
“Absolutely”
“You know sometimes I hate the fact that the Moon goddess gives out information piece by piece, but in this situation, I think I like the fact that she had not given out this info just yet. That has actually bought us some time”
“Even if it was an Alpha, be would not have gotten through me!” I say firmly and Kol laughs.
“Calm down Reign, I didn’t say that. I’m just trying to say it would have been more intense”
“It’s the same thing” I insist naughtily and he shakes his head .
“Now you are just being naughty”
“Yeah, whatever!”
“Ugh! Please stop fighting already” Carl pleads in frustration and Kol rises from his seat.
“If that’s all then, I’ll take my leave”
“Yeah, the meeting is over. You all can retire home. I will make sure to do my assignment”
“You better do it bro, cuz I’m not ready for another heart attack” Kol insists as he leaves the office.
Carl, Leonard and Miguel rise up as well.
“Your cousin has got some massaging to do tonight Alpha” Miguel says with a cocky smile on and when Hardin understands what he just said, he frowns.
“Hey, she was in the battle field as well, don’t over work her. I’m warning you” Hardin warns with all seriousness and I can’t help but laugh.
“Don’t bother, it’s going to be very mutual” Miguel replies with a very wide smile as he leaves.
“You too Carl, take it easy on my Shewolf, it’s not her fault you have got cramped muscles” He warns Carl and I just look at him in awe.
He is very protective of every Shewolf in this pack and I find it very adorable.
He is such a nice guy.
“I will try to remember that Alpha” Carl says with a smile as he leaves and I can bet on life that he is not going to do as told.
His mate is in deep trouble.
Once Leonard closes the door behind him, Hardin flies over to me but I don’t let him get to me, I start sprinting about the living room and he doesn’t let me be. He starts following me around and I start screaming as I keep running.
“Hardin stop! Please stop!”
“Just stay still love, I’m not going to eat you. I just want to hug and kiss you, that’s all”
“Of course you do!” I say in a mocking tone as I stop running and slump on the couch, panting like someone who was being chased by a wild dog.
“Remember the massage and the even better things you promised me?”
“I changed my mind, I’m not gonna give you any of those things I promised.” I joke as I rise up from the chair and bolt out of the office at the speed of light with Hardin on my tail. We both run along the corridor like five year olds and when I get to our room door, I push the door open and rush to the bed and Hardin gets in. He doesn’t forget to lock the door behind him before charging towards me.
I swear Hardin is nothing but an overgrown baby!
