THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

KYLIE’S POV

Right now, I am tempted to think that Alpha Hardin is confused and frustrated like Beta Miguel said.

This is just crazy. One minute he’s all arrogant and cruel and awfully sarcastic and the next minute he’s the perfect sweet mate. I still can’t believe what he did last night. Called the pack orthopedic to come and check on me and when he said I needed to do an x-ray at the hospital, he wasted no time to carry me all the way there.

Could it really be that he loves and cares for me but he just doesn’t want to admit it? Like, that could be the only reason for such perplexed actions, right?

How can one person be so bipolar?

Whatever be the case, I don’t care. If he hates me, which I’m nine-ty percent sure he does, I don’t care and even if that ten percent keeps raiding my mind about the possibility that he could be in love with me, I still do not care. Alpha Hardin has done a lot of unforgivable things to me and the worst of them was ordering his guards to kill my mentor for absolutely no reason.

I’m never going to forgive him for doing that.

I look at my bandaged arm and calmly shake my head. Everything about me is already pathetic and now I’m handicapped. What kind of wicked game is this?

I walk around the beautiful garden, admiring the blooming flowers. After returning from the hospital last night, Alpha Hardin gave me the entire week off so I don’t overwork my arm and make it worse.

He has a heart in that cold chest of his after all.

As I walk around, I notice the gardeners giving me hateful glances but I just ignore them. I have been receiving hateful glances since the day I set foot in the pack and right now I’m used to it. I only used to get worried when they bullied me as of now, they can’t because they know the punishment that will awaits them. So right now, everyone just keeps giving me murderous looks without saying a word.

“Reign!” Someone calls from behind and I don’t need to be told that it’s Kylie.

She’s obsessed with me. She wants to be with me where ever I go and don’t mind though, she’s a very sweet soul , wholesome chatterbox and one of the most optimistic people I have ever come across. Never have I heard a negative word come out from her mouth. She’s always talking about the bright side of things, one of the reasons I so much love to spend time with her.

Her words always give some hope that there’s a possibility of me living a happy life someday.

“Hi K.” I greet as we both share a warm sisterly hug.

“How was your night?”

“It was okay, even though not all that comfortable, the thought of me sleeping next-door to Alpha Hardin really got me worked up all night.” I lament and she just smiles.

“You’ll get used to it” She says carelessly.

“You think so?”

“I know and you won’t believe what I saw last night”

“What did you see?” I ask alarmed.

“So, I have a habit of eating random snacks in the middle of the night which my brother does not know of and when I went to get them last night, guess who I found at your door, contemplating on whether to get in or not?”

“Who could that be?” I ask alarmed yet again.

“Alpha Hardin, dummy! Who else always visits your room so frequently”

“What was he doing at my room door at midnight?” I ask in horror and she just shrugs her shoulders.

“The only person who can answer that question of yours is Alpha Hardin, and no matter how you ask him, don’t mention my name! I did not see you this morning, we did not have this conversation and I most certainly did not tell you anything about Alpha Hardin standing by your door at midnight. I’m off to practice, Chao!” Then she turns around and flies away, leaving me totally dumbfounded. I spot a built seat around and walk over to it and tiredly sit down on it.

Kylie has no idea what she has put my mind through this just now.

What TF was Alpha doing at my door in the middle of the night, what exactly did heel want?

My mind asks rhetorically and I shake in fear as I abruptly turn around when I feel a gentle tap on my shoulder and I let out a heavy sigh of relief when I see Beta Miguel.

“You scared me!”

“Did I?” He asks as he takes a seat by myside.

“Yes you did”

“I’m sorry about that, I didn’t mean to”

“It’s okay”

“How’s your arm?”

“Still hurting”

“I can’t help but wonder how you were able to do all those chores with this broken arm, must have been excruciating”

“Yeah, kind of”

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

“Because I didn’t see it necessary to tell anyone, besides I didn’t think Alpha Hardin was going to care about it based on how he used to treat me”

“I understand, but at least, he treats you a lot better now, right?”

“Yeah, but it’s freaking me out. Alpha Hardin is someone very unpredictable, he can change any minute from now and go back to his old ways.”

“He won’t do that Reign, relax. He doesn’t even have the courage to do that to you anymore, that was before.” He explains and I just decide to push the thought at the back of my mind. No matter what, I can never trust Alpha Hardin and I’m always ready for his bad mood.

I will always be ready for it!

Hardin’S POV

I take long strides towards the garden with Adam jumping on my mind in excitement. We are going to see Reign. I went to her bedroom to check on but I didn’t find her and I was told by a another maid that she is in the garden and that’s where I’m headed to.

When we got back from the hospital and I put her to sleep, I went to my bedroom and couldn’t catch any sleep and you won’t believe what I did.

I sneaked into her bedroom and watched her sleep all night. I only left at four am in the morning so she won’t have to wake up and see me there.

Reign has completely shattered all the walls I built around my heart for her so she won’t get in. She has completely shattered those walls and right now I’m totally helpless when it comes to her.

As I look around in the garden, my heart stings when I see her seated one of the chairs, having a very enthusiastic conversation with Miguel and she’s laughing.

Reign is actually laughing.

I have never seen Reign laugh before. This is the first time I’m witnessing that and it’s quite a breathtaking sight. I have always noticed her dimples but I didn’t know they were that deep and charming. I like the way her lips curve when she laughs and her soft voice makes my heart summersault a hundred times per second.

She is my total weakness.

A wave of jealousy takes over me as I watch her laugh hard again at another thing that Miguel just whispered in her ears.

I’ve had enough!

“To my office, now!” I order him through mind link as I turn on my heels and walk out of the garden.

Once I get into my office, I slam the door hard behind me and go over to my table where I put myself a glass of whiskey and gulp it down in one go.

I need to calm down.

There’s no need for me to get so worked up. Miguel was only discussing with her, nothing else and I know he will never try anything negative with her. First because he knew she was my mate, second because he had his own mate whom he loved very much and third, because that’s not the kind of person he is.

I know all these things but I can’t help but feel jealous.

I’m jealous of the fact that Reign talks with him so freely but with me, it’s either she is nervous and frightened or she’s furious. She never talks to me normally, most at times she’s scolding at me like I was a child!

My office door creaks open and when Miguel walks in, I grit my teeth in anger.

“You called”

“What were you doing at the garden with Reign?”

“Wait… how did you know I was there?”

“Just answer the damn question Miguel” I order in an annoyed tone and he gives me a queer look.

” Well, I was passing by the garden when I spotted her so I decided we had a little chit chat before I continued”

“It didn’t look to me like some chit-chat. She was laughing her life away!”

“That’s because I told her something funny, you should try that sometimes. She has got a great sense of humor too”

He narrates and I look at him mind and hard, wondering what it is I can do to him and nothing crosses my mind.

I empty the glass of whiskey and clear my throat as I give him an intense look.

“Why the hell are looking at me like that?”

“Don’t talk to her anymore” I blurt out sternly.

“What?”

“I believe you heard me just well”

He suddenly burst into laughter and I look at him confused. “What’s funny?” I ask nerved.

“Is that jealousy I smell?”

“Tss… don’t be ridiculous. What’s there to be jealous about?”

“And as usual, you deny anything that resembles the truth about your feelings for Reign. So, you are actually jealous of the fact that I was talking to her, aye!”

“Shut up Miguel, this has got nothing to do with jealousy”

“What is it about then?”

“I just don’t want you talking to her. Period!” I babble and he just laughs harder. “Miguel, get out of my office” I order sternly.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“It’s fine bro, I’ll stay away your mate. You know I can totally understand you, I know exactly where you are coming from. I promise to stay far from her” He promises and walks out of the office.

I ruffle my fingers through my thick black hair and angrily bang the table before me with my fists.

What exactly is wrong with me?
