Chapter 51
Reign’S POV
I walk over to Ma’am Sophia’sYou room door and knock with a smile plastered on my face. When ever she sends for me, I’m happy because I know she has something positive to tell me.
A few moments later, she opens the door and I immediately crash into her arms.
“Careful not to hurt your arm. She cautions and my smile widens.
She cares a lot about me.
“Good morning” I greet the moment we break the hug and go into her bedroom.
“How was your first night at the Alpha’s chamber?”
“Suffocating, the thought that he’s sleeping in the room next to mine makes me want to pee on my pants every time.” I explain and she just chuckles and shakes her head.
“You’ll get used to it”
“Shannelle told me the exact same thing.”
“And she was right”
“I just wish I wasn’t there. It feels very weird to be there with him. Especially when we have to meet at the hall way or any other part in the house. His dark brown eyes are the last thing I want to look at”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“You’ll be fine Reign, Alpha Hardin is not going to eat you up. Calm down” She assures me and I just nod my head but I’m still troubled within.
I really don’t like the fact that I’m staying there.
“I have a confession to make” She announces and I look at her with furrowed brows, wondering what confession she has to make.
“Confession?” I ask all the same and she nods.
“I was the one who told Alpha Hardin about your arm”
“No you did not!”
“Yes I did, I sent him a note. I know you wanted this to be just between us and trust me I respect your decision, but I had to do this all the same. This is a fracture we were talking about Reign, your bone was broken and it was taking too much time to heal and even if it did, it would have healed the wrong way and you could have ended up with a deformed arm because it wasn’t properly treated. Also, I might not be your mother, but I feel the pain you go through everyday. I don’t like the fact that you are in pain, that’s why I let the Alpha because I knew he would take action. All I want is for you to be fine and healthy, my child” She explained from the depth of her heart and I immediately crash into her arms as tears spill down her cheeks.
Ever since I was born, I have had no one to show me motherly love like she has done these past weeks and I’m really grateful for that. She has done nothing but loved and cared for me. She loves me like her own and I love her too.
Her children are very happy to have such kind and passionate soul for a mother.
“Can I call you mum?” I ask out of know where as I sniffle tears.
“Yes, you can”
“Thank you very mum, thank you for caring for me”
Hardin’S POV
It seems like transferring Reign into the room next to mine was a big mistake. Right now it’s nightfall and she’s in her bedroom.
How do I know?
Because of her pheromone.
It’s so strong that I can’t even focus on sleeping. I have worked all day and right now I want to rest but her pheromone won’t let me be. I jump down from my bed and put on a dressing robe over the shorts and singlet I have on and a pair of fluffy slippers.
I walk out of my bedroom to the room next door which happens to be hers and knock at the door.
It’s settled, if I don’t see her, if I talk to her before going to bed, I’m not going to be getting any sleep, any sleep at all!
Crap!
The door opens up and…
Sweet Moon goddess!
My eyes widen at the sight of Reign. I swear she only gets prettier as the days go by and what she has on… what she has put me on the edge.
A pair of blue shorts that expose almost her entire thighs and a tiny blouse over it that prints out her full breasts.
She looks sexy, enticing and bewitchingly hot. Her long slender legs are just the “thing” and I’m serious fighting my urge to …
I don’t even know what I want to do with her right now.
I swallow dryly as I try to put all what I’m seeing behind my mind in vain. There is no way I can unsee this, mostly especially as she’s still standing right before mr and there’s also no way I can not keep thinking about her hot body.
Reign is a goddess. Her beauty I’d totally out this world and for some very odd reason, I’m proud of the fact that she’s my mate. I have the most stunning and gorgeous mate in the entire world!
“Good evening Alpha Hardin” She greets and I just nod as I quietly step into the room.
Right now, not only her pheromone is driving me crazy but her perfect body that’s exposed. I can’t even seem to think clearly and all the words seem to have flown out of my mouth. There’s a big lump in my throat and I have to clear my throat to get rid of it.
“Alpha Hardin!” She calls my name calmly like the word amuses her, entices her, entertains her and I can feel blood sing in my veins. Her voice is perfect and I can listen to it all day without getting bored.
Her voice is like a sweet melody to my ears.
“Alpha!” She calls again, this time firmer and I snap out of my thoughts to look at her only for my eyes to meet with her perfect ocean blue eyes.
Everything about her is perfect.
“Yes Reign”
“Is there anything I can do for you?” She asks with a curious look and memories of how she was laughing at Miguel’s jokes flood my mind and that feeling of jealousy fills my heart again.
I don’t think I can ever make her laugh. Her conversation with Miguel seemed so interesting and friendly but right now, the only thing I feel is tension in the air and fear in her voice and I don’t like it.
At first, I wanted her to fear me, I actually made her fear me, but I don’t want that anymore. I don’t want her to be scared of me anymore. I want us to have the kind of conversation she had with Miguel early this morning.
I want to make her laugh.
“Not exactly”
“Then, what brings you here, if I may ask?” She asks politely.
“Where’s your perfume?” I demand out of nowhere.
The fact that she emits the same pheromone as her sister did has still not settled on my mind. It has never happened that in werewolf history. Never.
Maybe they just happened to use the same perfume then one… Oh boy, what am I even saying? That doesn’t make any sense.
Nevertheless, I need to get to the root of this issue.
“Perfume?”
“I believe that’s what I said Reign”
“I don’t have any” She denied shrugging her shoulders and I look at her in total disbelieve. There’s no girl who doesn’t use perfume. They are always very conscious of their looks and how good they smell and all that, and if she doesn’t have any perfume, why then does she always smell so nice?. I mean to say that apart from the smell of the pheromone, she always has this fresh scent that’s pleasant.
She’s amazing!
“How is that even possible. Girls never lack perfumes”
“Well, I’m not just any girl, I’m actually a servant girl and I lack such privileges”
“Even other female servants have perfumes”
“Well, has it ever occurred to you that I’m not being paid like others. I have no money to purchase such luxuries. I depend on what the Servant Supervisor gives me” She explains and I go mute.
It’s either she’s scolding me or making me feel guilty. Now I feel guilty for not paying her all this while.
I clear my throat and look up at her again.
“There’s something that has been bothering me”
“And what could that be”
“You smell just like your sister”
“I… I don’t think I understand you”
” I’m talking about your pheromone, your sister used to emit the same pheromone”
“No, that can’t be possible. Two shewolves cannot emit the same pheromone. You must be mistaken.”
“Then what explains the fact that she used to emit the same pheromone you emit right now. When I first saw her, this was what attracted me to her and right now that you smell just like she used to smell, there’s definitely something wrong somewhere”
“Honestly, it’s as weird as it sounds, but if it’s coming from you, then you definitely know what you are talking about, but I have no idea what could be the issue” She explains calmly and I just nod.
“I guess this is deeper than we think it is.”
“For sure”
There is a moment of silence.
“You should go to bed now” I instruct as I walk over to the sitting area and slump on the couch.
The expression on her face is totally priceless and I fight my urge to laugh. I’m going to watch her sleep all night like I did last night.
“What are you doing?” She asks aghast and I fold my arms over my chest and comfortably cross my left leg over the right.
“What do you see me doing?” I ask with a cocky smirk forming at the side of my lips.
“Are you going to just sit there while I sleep?”
“How did you find out?” I ask sarcastically.
“You can’t do that!”
“I already did last night”
“No you did not!”
“I’m not going to argue with you”
“You actually didn’t just stand by door like she explained, you actually got in and watched me sleep all night! You are such a freak!”
“I’ve been called worse, love. Now who is the “she” who told you I was at you door last night” I ask and she bites her lips.
She fucking bites her lips.
“Stop doing that!” I warn as I try to keep calm. I could lose my shit and kiss her right now if she keeps doing that.
“Stop doing what?”
“Stop biting your lips!” I repeat and she stops immediately. “Now answer”
“Just… just a little birdie who whispered to me”
“And that little birdie is no one else but Kylie, don’t even try to deny it” I blow her cover and she bites her lips yet again!
Fuck!
“Reign, please go to bed!” I plead as I cover face with my palms and close my eyes so I don’t see her face.
“I can’t sleep knowing that you’re seated there, watching me”
“Then don’t sleep, just lie on the bed, close your eyes and fantasize about anything. I hear girls are good at fantasizing”
She quietly gets on the bed and covers herself with the duvet.
“Good night Reign?”
“Are you really serious about this?”
“Yes I am, now close your eyes”
“I’m not even sleepy yet”
“I’ll join you on that bed of another word leaves your mouth.” I threaten and she immediately buries her head under the duvet and I just chuckle and pick up a book from the table.
It’s titled “The Battle of the Elementals”. I have read this book a whole lot of times and I’m still going to read it again tonight.
The Alpha in this book, Alpha Elijah is a great Legend, together with his Luna.
I look at Reign and she still has her entire body buried under the duvet. I let out a light chuckle as I open the first CHAPTER of the book in my hand and begin to read. This is her punishment for breaking the walls I built in my heart against her.
