THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Hardin’S POV

I’m seated in my office, trying to work in vain. I can’t think straight.

My mate is still in the custody of my mate and I can’t be at peace.

I miss her, I need her, I want her back home.

I trust Kol to bring her back home tonight. I can’t wait to have her in my arms again.

Soon, there’s a knock at the door and when I signal whoever it is to get in. Leonard and Miguel walk in and with the expressions on their faces, I can tell that there’s something wrong somewhere.

I can only hope that he has nothing to do with Reign.

“Sup guys?” I ask as they both walk further into the office.

“Can you please tell me what’s going on with Kol? One minute you are planning to kill him and the next minute you guys are all lovey-dovey, I feel left out” Miguel complains and I just smile.

It’d be off if he didn’t feel that way. We have been close since we were kids and it’s only normal that he’s worried about the fact that Kol is now cool.

“Well, I just found out something that you won’t believe”

“And what could that be?”

“Kol and I are brothers, we both have the same father” I announce and Miguel actually pauses on his tracks in shock. Leonard gives me a confused look and I shrug my shoulders and stay put.

“I just found out today as well and I was just as shocked as you are right now, but it is what it is”

“How is this possible?”

“Well, seems like my father played a little foul game years ago and it led to this”

“So why did Kol have to live as a rogue”

“It’s a long ugly story I don’t want to talk about but the most important thing is that we have uncovered the truth and Kol is with us now. He is my brother and you have no idea how happy I am right now”

“Blood indeed is thicker than water, the way you guys connected the first day you met was intriguing, it really got me wondering!” Leonard explains and I just smile.

From the first day I spoke with Kol, I had felt that connection and I’m so happy that it turned out this way.

“Brother bond”

“Wow, that’s really cool. So we have another male in our circle”

“I guess that’s it. It’s indeed a blessing”

“Alright guys, that said, we all are happy that we have found a lost son and a brother. For now let’s focus on the issue at hand.”

“Uh yeah, you said there’s something we have to know. What’s that?” Miguel inquires and I look at Leonard.

“Well, Kol mind linked me a while ago”

“He did?” I ask curious.

“Yeah, it’s something that’s going to bother you a lot, that’s why he didn’t want to tell you directly”

“What’s wrong?” I ask afraid.

My heart is beating abnormally right now and I don’t like the tension in the air.

“Please don’t tell me something happened to Reign!”

“No, nothing happened to her. Kol just said the other guys had planned to kill her. That’s what they discussed this morning”

“What?” I ask aghast and I can feel my eyes turn yellow in anger, Adam starts purring and I can feel him threatening to take over meI suppress him back in my mind and block him. I can’t afford to let him take over me right now.

“What happened to Reign?”

“Nothing happened to her, she is fine. Kol settled the issue”

“How did he do it?”

“Well, he told them if the killed Luna Reign, the rest if the Elementals will die”

“Oh…” Both Miguel and exclaim in unison.

“Yeah and he wasn’t lying. That was actually very true. If Reign dies, the rest of them dies, except you though”

“I see…”

“So, when he brought that up, they had to do a rethink.”

“That’s good then”

“Yeah, he says he has a plan and that they’ll be here by tonight, you need not worry”

“That’s good then. That’s good”

“Is that all?”

“Yeah, that’s all”

“Good then. Bro, I think you need to talk to Megan. She keeps blaming herself for Reign’s abduction and she’s being too hard on herself” Miguel informs.

“Shit! Where is she?”

“At the female training grown”

“Excuse me guys” I rise up from my seat and quickly exit the office.

Megan the over thinker.

Ever since we were kids, she always had the attitude of over thinking and taking blame for everything that goes wrong around her.

No one has ever been able to talk her out of the attitude of hers.

I sprint over to the female training ground where I meet the Shewolves organized in groups and training as they should and I can’t help but smile. This is what Reign has always wanted and I’m proud of how she has been able to refine these girls. From what I can see, they are doing just well!

The moment they see me, they all stop their training and gather around me with their heads bowed down.

“Good day Alpha Hardin” They all greet in unison.

“Good day ladies, where is Megan?”

“She went for a walk in the woods, down the river”

The river.

That has always been her favorite thinking spot.

She would sit on a special rock by the river banks and blame herself for every negative thing going on in the world, including global warming.

Megan!

“Thank you” I say with a smile as I make my way from the circle and walk into the woods.

As I walk down the stream, I see her seated on the rock I just spoke about and I walk over to her.

“You good?” I ask calmly and sit by her side.

“Yeah, why?”

“Your voice and looks tell me otherwise. Miguel too”

“Ugh! That snitch!”

“That wasn’t your fault you know?”

“I can’t help but think that it is. He just came and took her away, I had to follow them, I shouldn’t have let her go alone”

“Megan, stop. Stop right now. Okay, maybe this will make you feel better, Kol is bringing Reign home tonight”

“The same Kol who abducted her?”

“Yeah, it’s complicated, love, but all I need you to you to know is that everything is under control and you need not worry yourself”

“I need to know what exactly is going on Hardin”

“Well, Miguel will explain everything to you in detailfor now…” I say as I rise up I take her hand.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“What now?”

“Just rise up, I have something to show you”

“And what could that be?” She asks eagerly as I pull her up from the rock and I lead her closer to the stream.

“Remember those times when we would go for a …” I push her into the water and she screams as falls.

“Hardin!” She calls furiously and I take off my shoes and jump in to join her.

“What was that for?” She asks hitting me as I swing closer to her.

“Since you don’t want to get rid of those thoughts that keep haunting you. We are going to drown them!”

“You are not nice at all”

“I know, love, I know”

We are going to play all sorts of games in this water today, just like old times.

I love my cousin very much and her blaming herself for my mate’s disappearance does not settle well with me.

It wasn’t her fault.
