Chapter 62
Reign’S POV
I put on a sweater and a pair of shoes and walk out of my bedroom which happens to be at the East wing of the castle.
Alpha Damien’s bedroom is at the West wing and every time I remember that night he summoned me in there, I still shiver at the kind of thoughts I had harbored on my mind, just for me to arrive there and have him massage my arm.
He’s such a gentleman and I pray the Moon goddess gives him a woman who will perfectly match that amazing personality of his. He deserves nothing but the best of everything that has to come his way. I take the long corridor that leads to the lengthy flight of stairs. Descending feels good, but ascending is the total opposite.
It’s actually a nemesis.
I descend the stairs and make my way out of the living room. I can’t wait to go and meet Tasha and Avery at the servant quarters. I would have spent the night with them, but Alpha Damien insisted I returned to my room and the last thing I want to do is disobey him.
I exit the castle and make my way to the servant quarters and I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel very giddy.
Those are one of the only true friends I have ever had in my life and I’m sort of excited to see them after such a long time.
Also, I know Tasha is going to bombard me questions of why I left all of a sudden. She’s the type who wouldn’t stop until you tell her what she wants to hear.
Once I get to the door of the room that used to be mine too, I give a gentle knock on the door and moments later, the door is opened by Tasha a…
“Aaaaarrrggggghhhh!” she blows things out of proportion as always and gives me a bone crushing hug! The other servants actually rush out of their rooms to see what’s happening only to see us hugging each other. All I can hear is sighs and murmurs as they all go back into their bedrooms. Avery rushes out and when she sees me, she equally flies in body and…
“Ouch!” I cry in pain went she squeezes my left arm.
“What’s wrong?” She asks worried as she disengages from the hug.
“Nothing, it’s just my arm that you happened to hurt”
“I’m so sorry”
“It’s okay Avery. I’m so happy to see to girls again”
“Come innnnn!” Tasha urges as he pulls me by my right arm into the bedroom and we both sit on her bed. Avery locks the door and joins us.
I look at the bed I used to occupy and notice that it’s still the way I left it and I smile.
“Reign what happened to you? Where did you suddenly disappear to?” Tasha asks worried.
“Remember I told you I go rejected by mate right?”
“Oh, yeah. That nonsensical mate of yours” She insults and I just laugh.
If only she knows the caliber of the person she’s actually calling nonsensical, then she’d change her words.
“Well, he came and forcefully took me back to my pack”
“That son of a bitch! Why didn’t you run to Alpha Damien for help?”
“Well, he took me right before Alpha Damien’s eyes , but he couldn’t do anything”
“That’s impossible !”
“It’s possible if the mate in question is Alpha Hardin Colton”
“Crap!” Avery remarks.
“No way!” Tasha exclaims in horror as she covers her mouth with her palms.
“Yeah, Alpha Hardin is my mate and he rejected me”
“Oh my God! Why would Alpha Hardin do that? I always thought so high of him”
By the time I’m done narrating to them the entire story, they are all looking at me like they just saw a ghost and I can’t help but crack up in laughter.
I miss these girls. They are a whole vibe, I swear. Especially Tasha.
“Right now, I officially dislike Alpha Hardin. How could he do such a thing to you? That was so unfair!” Tasha cries.
“He just accused you of murder without concrete evidence. That’s unforgivable girl. It’s a good thing you left him. Since he loved and trusted Wilma so much, let him go raise her up from the dead and make her his Luna. It was so wrong of him to treat you the way he did” Avery explains rather calmly.
That’s something that baffles me about these two friends. Avery is an extremely introverted person and Tasha should be the queen of extroversion. She could be loud when she wants to be and she is always blowing even the most trivial things out of proportion.
Always, I tell you.
But mind you, she’s the sweetest person you’ll ever meet. The love and she ever shows for any body is genuine and else could be savage if she wants to be and sarcastic too.
For Avery, she doesn’t talk much, but the little she says either saves you or kills you properly. Her sarcasm can be very intense sometimes and her sense of humor is very unique. If you’re not smart enough, you can never get her jokes but if you actually do, I swear you are going to crack.
Sometimes I wonder how it’s possible that two people with such contrasting personalities are best friends.
Nevertheless, it’s adorable and I wish I had someone to have such a strong bond with.
“Well, that’s why I intend to leave for Goodland tomorrow. I have to go there and start all over”
“You are leaving?” Tasha asks sadly.
“Yeah”
“Tasha, she has to go somewhere far, else Alpha Hardin might just change his mind and come to take her again like he did the other time.”
“Yeah, that’s true and Goodland is a really cool place. You are going to meet a lot of kind people who will help you start a new life.” Tasha confirms.
“You think so?”
“I know, I have been there a few times with my siblings. There are these festivals they like organizing and we always go to attend”
“Wow, nice”
“No matter what, visit us often, okay?”
“I promise I will”
“We honestly miss you Reign, that day you left, we waited for you all night but you didn’t show up. We were actually worried about you but none of us had the courage to actually ask Alpha Damien about your whereabouts”
“Why’s that?”
“You talk as if you’ve never met him before, he has this very dominant aura around him that does nothing but intimidates me all the damn time! I can’t even breathe properly in his presence” She explains and I just laugh as I remember how I used to feel the same way about Alpha Hardin. I clearly get where she is coming from.
“Yeah, I get you. So, enough about me and my misfortunes. Avery, tell me about your mate” I demand and immediately, her face turns beetroot as she blushes hard.
“Well, he’s alright”
“So, why haven’t you moved in with him already?”
“Well, there’s kind of a rule here, when mates find each other, they actually have to get married before they move in with each other and the male late has to prove to the Alpha that he’s actually capable of taking care of his mate. So right now, he’s going through this trial period with the Alpha”
“Wow, Alpha Damien does care about his shewolves”
“Yeah, he does”.
“That’s impressive” I say nodding.
“And before you ask, I haven’t found my mate yet” Tasha announces and I just look at her sadly.
That is not a good sign.
“Oh Tasha…”
“I just believe that the Moon goddess has a reason for delaying”
“She definitely does”
“You’re staying the night right?” She asks suddenly beaming again.
I swear Tasha is a different kind of being. Just a few seconds ago, she seemed sad about the fact she hasn’t found late yet, but just now she’s beaming like everything is okay.

“Well, I wanted to but…”
“But what?” She cuts me off.
“Alpha Damien said to come back and I’ve got curfew”
“I can bet on my life that Alpha Damien has a crush on you” She says out of nowhere and I swear, I crack.
Tasha says the most romantic things.
“Tasha, that’s enough” Avery reprimands as she goes over to her bed.
“Tasha, let’s not even bring that up”
“No one ever believes me”
“Well that’s because you say the most outrageous things” Avery fires back and Tasha just pouts. I can’t help but laugh.
I love these girls very much and I’m going to so dearly miss them.
If there’s one thing I have noticed about my life, it’s the fact that the few people who love me, do so with all their hearts and they are always willing to help or cheer me up in one way or the other.
Ma’am Sophia defended me time again from bullies at the pack.
Beta Miguel visited me time and again to make sure I was doing alright.
Reign always made sure I ate dinner and she always cheered me up too.
Alpha Damien my knight in shining armor.
Both Tasha and Avery have been nothing but good friends to me.
My circle of people is actually small but powerful.
And no, Alpha Hardin is not among.
