THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Hardin’S POV

“Wow! I didn’t think you were going to act that fast!” Miguel remarks and I just sip more Bourbon from my glass.

I just told him what I did and he seems surprised. When it comes to Reign…

When it comes to Reign…(Chuckles)

Let’s just leave it there for now.

“I had to do something. That girl is capable of doing the impossible and if I don’t monitor her every move, she’s going to give me a heart attack”

“Heart attack? That’s deep”

“No it isn’t”

“Yes it dummy, but you can’t know because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon!” He insults and I just chuckle as I shake my head.

“Unlike you, I never let emotions cloud my judgement!”

“I’d rather let emotions cloud my judgement than act the way you are acting right now. Hardin, you’re not going to feel this now, just wait for Reign to leave this pack, that’s when you’ll know how much she means to you”

“Tss… you are a sentimental fool Miguel. Reign leaving will not affect me in any way, watch and see” I dare, not even understanding what I’m saying.

Last night I wasn’t sure if I wanted to let her go and now, here I am saying I don’t care if she leaves. What exactly is the color of my problem?

“Let’s watch and see for real” He dares and I snort as I sip more wine from my glass.

Indeed, let’s watch and see what happens.

There’s a knock at the door and Miguel rises from his seat and goes to open it.

“Hello, Beta” Dylan greets from the door.

“Hello Dylan, come in” Miguel invites and Dylan walks in with an envelope in his hand.

“Good day Alpha”

“Good day Dylan, what brings you to my office”

“The Servant Supervisor asked me to bring you this note”

“Let me have it” Miguel says as he take the note from his hand. “Thank you, you can leave now” He orders and Dylan bows and walks out of the office.

“What’s in it?”

“Still to find out” He opens the envelope and carefully takes out the note in it. “Reign has a badly injured arm that needs to be attended to, else it’ll get worse” He reads aloud and my heart starts palpating in my chest.

Then my mind clicks.

Reign has a broken arm and I can clearly remember what caused it. One of the guards had her left arm broken during the torture at the silver prison.

Miguel and I exchange glances and I just pour myself a glass of Bourbon and gulp down in one go and pour myself another yet again.

“Are you just going to keep drinking? Reign is hurt”

“You’re not the one to tell me what to do Miguel, I already have a plan on my mind.” I say as I take the shot and rock my office chair back and forth

It’s always from one Reign issue to the next.

“Reign you have no idea how happy I am that you now live here” A voice which I recognize as Kylie’s, hypes from within and I just smile.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

I’m eavesdropping again and I know it’s wrong but I can’t help it. I can’t believe Kylie is actually friends with Reign.

“Kylie, what exactly is exciting about me being here”

“Well, I know you hate my brother for all what he has done to you, if I were in your shoes, I’ll feel the same, but please don’t transfer that hatred to everyone. I love you and I want to be your friend”

“Reign, I most certainly do not hate you and of course you I want to your friend too, but as it is now your brother detests me and I don’t think he will appreciate you hanging out with me”

“Trust me, he doesn’t mind and even if he did, I really don’t care. I love you and I want to be your friend. That’s all what matters” Kylie explains and I can’t help but chuckle

“You know, in a way you’re just like you brother. Very strong willed”

“And is that a good or a bad thing?”

“In your case, it’s a good thing, in his case, I can’t say”

“My brother is not a wicked person K. I really don’t know why he’s treating you this way, he really has never been like this”

“I guess I’m the scapegoat then and I’ll just keep being the scapegoat until I leave”

“Leave?”

“Yeah, I have barely two weeks to be here, I’ll be leaving after that…”

That’s when I decide that I’ve heard enough and I knock at the door.

“I’ll get it” Kylie announces as she rushes to the door and open it up. The moment she sees me, her face goes pale.

“Hardin!” She calls in horror.

“It’s bedtime” I announce as I step into the bedroom.

“Good night Reign”

“Good night Kylie” Reign wishes and Kylie immediately walks out of the bedroom.

Reign who was seating on the bed frowns and bows her head down. I look at her left arm and it looks okay, that’s why she has been able to hide it all this while.

How then did she do all the chores with a hurt arm? Just how strong is this girl?

“Good evening Alpha” She greets with her very calm and soothing voice that always causes blood to sing in my veins. Her voice is as smooth as silk and sounds like sweet melody to my ears.

Whatever it is she is doing to me, I am yet to find out.

“Why did you keep it away from me?” I ask and she looks at me confused.

Yes Ma’am, I just uncovered your deepest secret.

“Keep what away from you?”

“What are you hiding from me?” I ask curious and she creases her brows.

“I don’t think I’m hiding anything that concerns you, Alpha”

“Including the fact you have a broken arm?” I ask and she abruptly raises her head up to look at me.

Gotcha!

“Cat’s got your tongue?” I ask with a creased brow.

“I didn’t tell you because I didn’t think you’d care” She answers quietly and her response makes my head spin like a rollercoaster.

She didn’t think I would care.

Wow!

“Why wouldn’t I?”

“Because you hate me”

“Well, even if I do, I still need you to be healthy so you can do my chores perfectly. Henceforth, you’ll be receiving treatment and in no time, that arm will be healed so you can work properly.” And just then, there’s a knock at the door.

“Come in” I signal and as speculated, one of the pack orthopedics walk in.

“Good evening Alpha” he greets as he walks towards us and I just nod at him.

“Seriously, you don’t need to do this”

“I don’t recall asking for your opinion Reign, now stay still and let him do his work”

I order and she goes mute. The doctor tries to hold her left arm but flinches away with a soft whimper escaping her lips.

It’s that bad.

“Does it hurt too much?” The doctor asks calm and Reign just nods her head.

“Let me take a look at it, I promise I won’t make hurt” He coos and she gently stretches he arm Forward and the moment he touches it. Reign bursts into tears.

Sweet Moon goddess. It’s worse than I thought.

“Alpha Hardin, she won’t let me touch it and that can mean it’s more serious than it looks. I need to take her to the hospital so we can run an x-ray on her to check what exactly is wrong. This is no ordinary fracture” The doctor explains and I immediately rise up from my seat.

“Then what are we waiting for?” I walk over to Reign who is still crying and holding her arm and I scoop her into my arms.

The kind of pain her tears cause me is totally out of this world and fact that she’s hurting only makes matters worse.

She has to get better and that has to be immediately.
