THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Hardin’S POV

I take bold steps towards her and I can feel Adam struggling to communicate with me but I just ignore him. It’s a good thing I blocked him out already. Right now my heart is already doing a series of summersaults for reasons I do not know and I don’t want him to make matters worse.

“You called…”

“Shhhh!” I snap and she stops talking and gently bows her head down.

Vanilla cream is all I smell around her and fighting my urge to inhale deeply and I won’t. No matter much her sweet smell attracts me, no matter how strong our mate bond is, I will never fall for her. I will never accept her!

“I can see you found yourself an asylum” I ask in a mockery tone and her head remains bowed down. “Look at me” I order and she looks up at me. “You’ve found yourself an asylum, haven’t you?” I question and she remains silent. “Answer me!” I roar in anger and she staggers backwards in fear.

“I… I …” She stutters and I just shake my head.

“Never mind explaining anything. Just know this, you are coming with me!” I announce and immediately, she snaps her head up to look at me and tears form in her eyes.

She is about to beg me to let her stay but I won’t listen to her pleas. For as long as I live, I’ll make sure she lives a miserable life in my pack. That’s her punishment for killing my chosen mate.

“Alpha Hardin, please, don’t take me back there I’m begging you!” She pleads as tears come streaming down her cheeks and I grind my teeth in anger

She’s got some nerve!

After killing her sister, she has the mind to deny it over and over again and act like she’s being victimized.

She’s a psychopath, no doubt her father had her locked up all this while.

“Why? So you think I’ll just let you go? After what you did to Wilma?”

“I didn’t…”

“Silence!” I roar yet again with my Alpha voice and she trembles as she shuts up. “I don’t want to listen to anymore of your lies. Just know that you are coming with me and that’s final!” I conclude and she falls on her feet and weeps bitterly.

Just then, Alpha Hardin walks in and when he sees Reign lying on the floor, he rushes over to her and when Reign raises her head and sees him, she holds his legs and cries.

“Please Alpha, don’t let him take me, please help me. I can’t go back there. Please” She pleads in tears as she looks at him hopefully.

I just stand there, looking at her in amusement. She really has no idea who I am. I am Alpha Hardin Colton, Paramount Alpha of all other Alpha’s and my word stands. Any Alpha who goes against my word knows the consequences that await him, so none of them ever dares to do so.

If only she knew that Alpha Damien can’t help her.

Alpha Damien looks up at me and then to her with pity eyes. I can see that he really wants to say something, but he knows he can’t. He wants her to stay with him, he likes her. I can see it in his eyes.

How dare he!

How dare he like someone’s mate!

I angrily walk over to Reign, hold her by the arm and lifts her up.

“It’s time to go” Then I turn over to Alpha Damien who has his fists clenched and I see his jawline harden in anger. If I was any ordinary Alpha, we would have had a dual here and now, but he knows better than to start up a fight me.

I’m the big bad Alpha, strongest, fiercest, fastest and most brutal. I can beat him up to pulp without batting an eyelid before all his subjects and he’ll live with that shame for the rest of his life.

“Alpha Damien, thank you very much for having me over, I’ll take my leave now. See you some other time”

“Good bye Alpha” He says almost inaudibly and I just nod and drag Reign who’s resisting. When I get outside, I hand her over to my guards who take her into one the cars I came with.

I’m so going to enjoy making her life miserable!

One we get to my castle at the Wall Street Pack, I order my guards to take her to my living room and I follow behind.

When we get in, he throws her to the floor and I take a good look at her frustrated state.

No! I don’t feel bad, not at all. She deserves it!

“You can leave us” I order and the guards leave.

“Alpha Hardin Please, I’m innocent of this crime you accuse me off. Please just let me go. Please” she cries bitterly and I walk over to her.

“Rise up” I order and she rises up from the marble tiled floor with her head bowed down. “Look at me” I command yet again and she looks up at me.

Her eyes are red and bulging and her entire face is as red as tomato sauce. Her lips are trembling and her voice is actually croaked from too much crying. She cried all the way here.

“Why won’t you just accept the truth?”

“Because it’s not the truth Alpha. I didn’t kill my sister!” She defends yet again and I close my eyes and turn around!

She’s annoying me. I swear she and I just feel like… I turn around abruptly and raise my hand up to hit her but I stop midway when my eyes meet with hers.

Weak, red, bulging and teary. My belt melts instantly and I gently put my hand down.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She didn’t even flinch when I tried to hit her. It appears she’s used to it by now.

There’s a mixture of pain, anger and some other feel I do not want to voice out in my heart right now and I wish I could make that feeling away.

The Moon goddess is indeed powerful. I look down at her and she’s still crying.

My heart is falling for her tears, my heart keeps urging me to take pity on her and let her go and I can feel the anger burning in Adams eyes. He wants me to stop being mean to her. He wants me to accept her as my mate but that is never going to happen!

I hate Reign, and I’m not going to take pity on her even if my heart signals me to do so. She has to pay dearly for taking the life of her sister, my chosen mate!

“You are going to work at the security for one month and after that, you are free to go and be the miserable rogue you are meant to be” I announce and she looks up at me.

“Security?”

“Yes, you’ll join the security department in guarding the pack and reporting intruders. Mind you, if ever try to escape, I will find you and when I do, I will kill you! I am the Paramount Alpha, you can never hide from me”

“I’m not going to try to run away Alpha, because I’m going to take your word for it” She says with some confidence and I wonder where she got it from.

The nerve!

“You’ve got some nerve to talk to me that way. Look here, I’m doing you a favor, so you are in no place to tell me crap about my word. I can always change my mind” I explain and she snaps her head up to look at me. “But, I have already given my word, and it stands. Work at the security for one month and you’ll be free to go wherever you want after that. Is that clear?”

“Yes, Alpha”

“Good”

“Griffin!” I turn around and call and almost immediately, a guard comes rushing in and when he gets to me, he bows his head down.

“Take her to Alice, she’ll be joining the women security team.”

“I will do just that Alpha”

Reign follows him out of the living room and I tiredly slump on a couch and unblock Adam in my mind. Now that I’ve passed my judgement, I can talk with him without being swayed.

“She’s never going to forgive us!”

“We are not going to give her any. Forget about her.”

“You are going to regret this”

“That’s until then, for now, she has to suffer the pain she caused me when she took Wilma away from me.”

I swear bitterly and Adam just goes away.

I’m bitter and I hate her

I want her to suffer.

But then…

What if…? Just what if I’m wrong?

What if she truly is innocent?

What if there really comes a time when I’ll need to beg for her forgiveness?

Just what if..?
