Chapter 52
Reign’S POV
By the time I woke up the next morning, Alpha Hardin was long gone and I was relieve. Last night was not an easy one for me. Trying to fall asleep knowing that he was watching me was a nearly impossible thing to do.
I think Beta Miguel and Ma’am Sophia were right when they said he’s in love with me. I saw it in his last night. While we spoke I saw some glow in his eyes and the tone he used was completely different and I just confirmed it when he said he was going to watch me sleep. I don’t know until when he stayed up but I do know that he took a while in here.
Alpha Hardin is in love with me and there’s no denying it. Even if he doesn’t want to admit it, his actions speak it out and now I know.
The mate bond indeed is strong. It’s actually inevitable like my mentor used to say. Who could have thought that the almighty Alpha Hardin would finally fall in love with his accused mate?
What an irony.
“Your arm is actually making some progress Reign, just keep taking your medicine and soon, it’ll be one” The doctor announces and I snap my head up to look at him.
“How soon is that?”
“Two weeks, or so”
“Two weeks?” I ask in horror and he nods.
“Yeah, this is a broken bone we are dealing with Reign and it actually shocks me to know that you have been surviving with it all this while. You are indeed a super strong Shewolf. No ordinary Shewolf would be able to bear this pain”
“Oh…” I say nodding. “Thank you very much for the information”
“You are welcome”
“Can I go now?”
“Yes you can, just make sure to eat healthy and avoid overworking the arm.”
“I will do just that, thank you once more” I thank him as I make my way out of his very organized office.
The science of Medicine had always been something that caught my attention, but I have never been opportuned to study it because my father never let me out of the house. I had planned to pursue it once I was set me free, but that didn’t happen because of how badly things turned out for me. Nevertheless, if I have the opportunity sometime later, going to practice medicine. That I promise my self.
I walk out of the hospital building and I’m surprised to see a few guards standing by a car and the moment they see me, they open the back seat for me without uttering a single word.
Alpha Hardin’s handiwork.
I quietly hop into the car and once they close it, the driver takes of. Alpha Hardin keeps making these sweet gestures lately and I don’t know what he’s up to, but what ever be the case, he can never buy me over. I already hate him for everything he has done to me and I can’t wait to leave this pack.
The moment I set my foot out of this pack, he’s never going to see me again.
I look at my wrist watch and it reads twelve pm, Ma’am Sophia should be on break now. Lately, I have nothing to do but sleep, eat or read books that I borrowed from Kylie’s library. She spends almost her entire day at the training center and we only get to talk at night.
Once the driver drives into the mighty castle and parks in the driveway, I hastily open the door and walk out if the care before the guard standing nearby can do so. I’m no queen and I don’t want them treating me as one.
I walk out of the castle to the servant quarters. There’s something that has been buzzing on my mind and I won’t be at rest until I get more information about it.
It’s actually about what Alpha Hardin said about me emitting the same pheromone as my sister did.
That’s impossible.
My Mentor once told me that each Shewolf emits a unique pheromone that can only be perceived by her fated mate and no one else. Even two sisters cannot emit the same pheromone.
I need to get an explanation for this before I go crazy.
When I get to Ma’am Sophia’s bedroom, I knock and when she signals me to get in, I gently creak open the door and meet her sitting on her bed, reading a book. I smile as I close the door behind me and walk over to her.
“Hello Mum” I greet as I give her a warm hug and she motions me to take a seat by her side.
“How are you doing?”
“I’m not fine at all. You won’t believe what happened last night”
“Does it have to do with Hardin?” She asks lowering the book.
“As usual” I agree and she chuckles.
“He always makes new head lines, doesn’t he?”
“Not just any kind of headlines, interesting headlines!”
“So, what did he do this time around?”
“Can you imagine he walked into my bedroom last night and ordered me to go to bed and then walked over the sitting are and sat on the couch. He said he was going to watch me sleep all night and he did!”
“No he did not!”.
“Yes, he did. He did” I say nodding and she laughs.
“He watched you sleep all night?”
“He was no where to be found when I woke up this morning, but yeah, he did”
“Wow”
“And even the night before”
“You got him totally whipped! Are you still going to deny the fact that he’s in love with you?”
“I just realized that you and Beta Miguel were telling the truth, he loves me indeed”
“He’s tired of hiding it”
“But mum, that doesn’t change anything, he has maltreated me these past weeks, he ordered for my Mentor to be killed before my own eyes, his kind gestures or his love won’t make me forget these things. I’m never going to forgive him for what he did to me”
“I’m not going to defend him sweetheart because truly, he’s wrong. The ball is in your court, toss it however you want. No one is going to judge you, because they have absolutely no right to do so”
“Exactly.” I say nodding. “Mum” I call.
“Yes honey”
“While we were talking last night, Alpha Hardin mentioned some that has been bothering me”
“What’s that honey?”
“He said I smell exactly like my sister, like… I emit the same pheromone like she did. Is that even possible?”
“No it’s not. It’s impossible for two shewolves to emit the same pheromone, even if they were twin sisters”
“But he said that’s what attracted him to her in the first place. He got the smell of the pheromone on her that’s why he marked her as his mate. He is just as confused too”
“He has every right to be confused. This is no ordinary mix up”
“But, do you think a shewolf can pick up another shewolves smell one way or the other?”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Yeah, if they get close, if they spend some time together or cuddle each other or if they wear each other’s clothes. What I mean is that if I have you cuddled in my arms all night, I’ll pick your pheromone and if I meet Alpha Hardin the next day, he’s going to get the smell on me, same if I wear your clothes” She explained.
“If we cuddle and if we wear each other’s clothes” She repeated to herself in a whisper as she tried to remember something, and then… it clicked!
She finally understood why Alpha Hardin always perceived her pheromone on Wilma’s body.
