THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

FEW DAYS LATER

Reign’S POV

So, the doctor said my hand is properly healed and I have decided that I will be leaving the next day. I already spoke with Hardin and he said I could go. I could see in his eyes that he doesn’t want me to go, but I have to go. I have to do this for my mentor.

And honestly, I don think I’m ever coming back here again. Like I said before, I need to start a new life. I don’t want to be Luna in the first place and I most certainly don’t want to rule over the same people who once hated an tortured me.

I deserve better.

That’s why I’m going to go over to Goodland to start a better life for myself.

I walk around the garden, admiring the blooming flowers and inhaling the sweet scent they emit with a smile plastered on my face. If there’s one thing I have to confirm about the entire Wall Street Pack, it’s that it’s beautiful and prosperous. Every one seems pretty well off and it’s so cool. Hardin is doing a great job ruling and I pray in my absence, the moon goddess will send him a Luna that will rule by his side.

“Luna!” I hear someone call from behind and when I turn to look, it’s Beta Miguel. I smile as he makes his way towards me.

“Good day Luna” He greets with a bow and I shake my head.

“Miguel, there’s really no need for this. I’m leaving tomorrow” I say laughing.

“Until you are gone, you are still my Luna”

“Tss… stubborn. How did you find me here?”

“Well, I just knew you would be here. This is you favorite place in this castle”

“No it’s not!” I deny flatly.

“Really? Then which part is?”

Hardin’s bedroom!

I don’t say that out loud though.

“Unfortunately, I can’t tell” I deny as I blush and he just shrugs and smiles too.

“As the Luna wishes”

“Can you not call me Luna?”

“No, I can’t not call you Luna, if at all that makes any sense”

“Miguel why are you here?” I ask giving him a queer look and he let’s out a heavy sigh of frustration.

“I came to do what I know is impossible”

“And what’s that?”

“Beg you to stay”

“Oh, Miguel, you know I can’t”

“No, I know no such thing. My Luna has the right to be here with us, ruling with our Alpha”

“Your Alpha is a dick!”

“Oh my God, I did not hear that”

“Honestly Miguel, I have to go. There’s this place called Goodland and my mentor, who Hardin ordered his guards to kill a month ago had always wanted to go there. He didn’t have the chance to go there because of me, so right now I need to fulfill that wish of his”

“But Luna, you can tell Hardin about that and I bet you that he will take you there himself. He will make sure you don’t only go there, but you do anything you want to do there. You don’t have to leave on your own.”

“That’s just one reason Miguel. I can’t stay here and rule over people who have hated and humiliated me before, besides I don’t even want to be Luna. I want a more decent and quiet life”

“Hardin can give you all that”

“I don’t want to be with Hardin”

“Yes you do, he is your mate. How can you not want to be with him?”

“Because he’s cruel and because he hurt me”

“Point taken and agreed upon. He treated you bad, he hurt you and that was very wrong, but Luna, we all can see that he is trying to make up for his actions. I can’t count the number times he has shed in his office because of how much he regrets what has done for you…”

“He cries?”

“A lot, like almost every time you say no to him, he cries. Don’t tell him I told you that”

“I understand that you are trying to get what is best for your Alpha …”

“Not just for my Alpha, for the entire pack as well. The shewolves need you Luna, you are their queen, our queen a d we all need you. Not only the Alpha” He explains in all sincerity and I swear I can feel tears forming in my eyes.

Why are they always doing this to me?

Why are they always putting me on the edge?

“Well…” clears throat. “I’m really sorry if this decision I’m taking is a rather selfish one, but I hope you a get understand me someday. I really have to go. I need to do this” Then I walk out ify the garden to the castle.

I honestly have to go.

After dinner with Hardin which was an awkward mess, I go to my bedroom to prepare the clothes I have to wear tomorrow. I won’t be taking any extra clothes with me cuz I didn’t bring any. I open my wardrobe and take out a pair of black jeans and open the t-shirt section where a take out a red t-shirt and put on the bed. I go walk over to shoe stand and stand there confused. Lately Hardin has turned my room into a minor boutique and everyday, I get confused on what to actually wear.

It’s such a shame that I’ll be leaving all this behind.

Soon, there’s a knock at my room door and walk over to open it, hoping that it’s Hardin but once I open it, I see a very sad face looking at me.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

It’s Kylie and she looks like she is about to burst into tears.

“Kylie, what’s wrong girl?” I ask as I make way for her to get in and I close the door.

“Mum told us you’ll be leaving tomorrow!” Kylie said almost in tears.

“Is that what’s making you sad?”

“Yes! Please don’t go! We will all be devastated, especially Hardin”

“Kylie” I call as I walk towards her and take her hands in mine.

“I really want to stay, but I can’t”

“Why not?”

“Well, there’s something I have to do for someone who was very special to me”

“But you mustn’t leave before you do it. You are Luna, you can always order any body to carry out the task”

“It’s not some physical task Kylie, I can’t explain it you, but just know I have to do it.”

“You’ll be back right? Promise me you’ll be back!”

“I … I …honestly don’t know if I’ll be back…”

“Please Reign !!! Please come back!” She pleads as tears come streaming down her cheeks and it totally breaks my heart.

“Kylie…”

“Please tell…” Her statement is cut short by the door opening up and revealing Hardin who looks just as devastated as Kylie. All his facial features have gone dark and I kind off tremble when he closed the door and makes his way towards us.

“Kylie please excuse us”

“Please convince her to stay” Kylie begs her brother in tears and without warning, a huge tear rolls down from my left cheek.

“I’ll try” He promises as he kisses her forehead and she exits the bedroom.

“Hey” he greets once the door closes.

“Hey” I greet in a tiny voice.

“I’ve got something for you” He says and takes out a little red box from the pocket of the shorts he has on and opens.

“What’s that?” I ask curious and my eyes widen in shock when he takes out a beautiful necklace from the box…

Wait…are those diamonds?

My God! They are diamonds!

“Hardin…”

“Mum said to give this to you” He reveals as he walks behind me and puts on the necklace on my neck.

“Why are you give it to me?” I ask the moment he gets in front of me again.

“Because it’s your birth right”

“What do you mean by it’s my birth right?”

“Well, this necklace is to be passed down to every Luna of the Colton Lineage. You can see the C on the pendent. It’s a symbol for Colton. It’s your turn to have it, so it’s yours now”

“I don’t want it!”

“You are my mate Reign, you don’t have a choice but to accept it”

“Well watch me reject it!” I say furiously as I try to take it off but I can’t find the hook. I walk over to the mirror to see what’s going on and that’s when I realize it’s stuck, like, there’s no place for me to unbuckle and take it off.

I turn around and look at him in horror.

“What’s going on?”

“You can’t take it off until it’s time for you to do so Reign. It’s an ancient something, so it must have spells controlling it from somewhere I don’t know, but you just need to have it on so that where ever you go, you will be identified and you will be treated like the Paramount Luna you are.”

“But I don’t want to be treated that way, I just want a normal life!”

“Well…” he says as he shrugs and walks over to me. “You already have the necklace on, you can’t escape it”

“This is unfair, stop forcing this on me”

“No Luna, you need to stop denying it.”

“I don’t want it”

“You know what I don’t want? I don’t want to fight with you tonight Reign, I just want to have you cuddled up in my arms all night, I just want to perceive your sweet pheromone all night and feel the warmth of your body against mind before you leave tomorrow. Please let’s not fight, let’s just go yo bed” He pleads in a whisper and I stubbornly march towards the bed and climb on it.

I don’t want to fight with him either and I would really use some cuddles tonight. Especially in his strong protective arms.

Once I’m settled in the bed, he dies same and I blush hard when he pulls me close to him a d wraps his protective arms around me.

I close my eyes and inhale the sweet smell if his cologne as I blush hard.

I’m going to miss his cuddles going to miss him as a whole.

“I love you” He whispers as he plants a soft kiss on my forehead.

How I wish I could tell him that I love him too.
