Chapter 98
Reign’S POV
The minute Megan leaves, I make my way to Hardin’s office. We have to talk.
What about?
I don’t know.
I just know that we have to talk.
We have never even tried to kiss for more than a minute, we have never gotten into any form of deep romance. It’s always just brief kisses and cuddles. Even though I tease him a few times by showing off my naked self, he has never made an attempt to touch me in an inappropriate way.
Right now it feels so weird that we are to have this kind of conversation.
But we don’t have a choice. We are both leaders and it’s our responsibility to make sure that everything goes well in our pack. If this is what we have to do to set things in order, then so be it. We will do it and move on.
Besides it’s not like it’s forbidden, we are mates and it’s only right that we mate with other. It’s actually a process that has to complete our mate bond, but herebwe are finding awkward to actually do it.
What the hell is wrong with us.
Once I get to his office door, gently creak open the door and take calculated steps into it. My heart starts stand pounding when I see him seated on one of the couches in the sitting area with a glass of whatever he is drinking in his hand. I close the door behind me and walk over to him.
“You’ve been drinking”
“This is just the first glass, I promise” He reports calmly as he puts the glass away and motions me to sit on his lap which I gladly do.
“You look troubled” I point out.
“That’s because I am, I still can’t get what happened to the pups today off my mind. You do know those pups are practically ours right? Even though we didn’t give birth to them”
“I noticed the bond Hardin, like I connected with all those children, including Lacey and it seems scary. I’m so mad that they are in so much pain”
“Exactly. That’s just the magic about being an Alpha and a Luna, we are bound to have a bond with all the pups in the pack even if they aren’t ours”
“Wow, it’s crazy”
“I know, right?” He says sipping more win from his glass.
I stare at him with my heart pounding in my chest, wondering whether I should tell him what Megan said or leave it.
“Stop staring at me like that and just tell me what you want to say”
“It’s not all that easy to say it”
“Is it about the mating issue?” He asks with a raised brow and immediately my face turns beetroot.
I’m shy and I’m blushing.
“Ho…how did you know”
“Well, everyone I come across lately keeps telling me to mate with you, I figured you’d be facing a similar situation”
“Well, Megan was here and she said we had to mate as soon as possible and I think she’s right” I announce and he looks at me long and hard, both brows raised.
“You think so?”
“I mean, if we mate, we will both have powers to protect our pups and why not the entire pack from these intruding Alphas. It’s going to be a plus for us.”
“Love, that’s true and I’m happy you understand, but I want you to be ready for this”
“Ready as in?”
“First, there’s some sort of physical pain in the process”
“What sort of physical pain?”
“Oh my God Reign, your naivety kills me at times” He laments as he covers his face with his left palm and let’s out a heavy sigh of frustration. I just stare at him with a frown plastered on my face.
“Come on, tell”
“I will tell babe, I will. When I talk about pain, I mean, this is the first time you will be getting intimate with anyone and that means I will have to break your virginity. That is a painful process, on your side”
“Oh…”
“Yeah, it’s going to hurt and also, when we finally mate, our mate bond will be stronger. The feelings we have for each other will be stronger and we will both get more possessive over each other. You are going to threaten to snap my neck every time you see me talking to another shewolf and I am going to spend almost my entire day trying to hold myself from ripping heads of man who smile at you. It’s that intense”
“I see…” I say nodding. “I don’t mind you being possessive over me and I like the idea of me being more possessive over you and for the pain, well, it’s something every other shewolf who has mated before has been through, so I’m not going to die from it. Besides, I don’t think it will be as painful as you make it seem if I’m doing it with you. Love conquers all remember?”
“You make me want to cry right now love. I hate to rush you into this”
“You are not rushing me into anything, stop trying to put this on yourself”
“Look at me” He urges and I turn and look at him.
“I want you to know that I’m not doing this because I just want to fulfill the law or because I want to get powers from you or because of the battle. The mating process is secret, it’s intimate and it’s something every male werewolf cherishes. I’m doing this because I love you Reign, my Luna, my mate, my love, I’m doing this because I want out mate bond to be stronger, I want to know how to love you even more, to protect you even more, I want us to be closer than we are right now. I’m not doing this because we are preparing for some Elemental Battle, no, if it’s left to me I would finish this battle without touching you and only do so when it’s all over, but my hands are tied”
“Hey” I call softly as I cube his face in my arms and stare into his deep brown eyes are quite teary right now.
Just how much does this man love me?
“I know that’s what you want, I understand babe and trust me I’m okay with this. You don’t have to feel bad. It’s not your fault all of this is happening”
“I know it’s not my fault, but I hate the fact that it’s weighing down on you. Reign if we do this, it’s a fact, you are going to get pregnant”
My eyes and mouth shoot wipe open in shock!
The hell!
“Yeah, the first mating process between the Alpha and Luna, brings forth the next Alpha. When we mate, you are going to get pregnant and … and…” Tears start spilling down his cheeks as he struggles to talk clearly.
“Hardin, please. You’re making me cry” I say as I burst into tears.
“I’m so sorry babe”
“What about me getting pregnant is making you cry?”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Because we are in the middle of a war. I don’t want you to go through all this stress while carrying ou6t son” He Laments as he wipes his tears away. “We are always going to be on the move, fighting one group of soldiers to the next, battling here and there with Elementals, I don’t want that for you. You are my queen Reign and you deserve to have the best of everything. You are supposed to have servants taking care of your every need during your pregnancy and you are supposed to have me by your side every second, making sure that you are doing just well, but that will be difficult during this time because I will be busy fighting bad guys”
“Love, I don’t mind”
“I do” More tears flow down his cheeks and I engulf him in my arms as he cries harder. I gently stroke his hair and let him cry everything out.
Why did this have to fall in our reign?
“Babe, what I know is that the Moon goddess has a good reason for letting this happen. Remember what she made us go through about a month ago? She let us go through all those hardships, but in the bed she united us. I just believe that if she’s letting all this happen, it’s because she has created plans for us. Please my love, stop crying and let’s face this together, I know it’s going to be tough, but we are tougher. We can do this” I encourage and he disengages himself from my hold and look at me.
“I’m going to do all I can to make sure that you don’t feel this. I’ll make you are always comfortable”
“And I know you will, I trust you”
“Come here” He takes me into his arms once more and hugs me like his life depends on it.
“But we are not doing it tonight, you reek of alcohol. I’m not going to let you kiss me with alcohol breath”
“Your wish is my command”
“Silly!” I say as I playfully push his forehead with my index finger.
“I love you” He confesses and I curl up myself in his arms and he holds me tight.
I never want to leave his arms ever again!
“I love you more”
