Chapter 71
Hardin’S POV
When I’m done saying all that I have say to say, I leave the bedroom for the dining where I meet mum eating.
“How did it… Oh my poor boy, you’ve been crying” She says as she rises up to her seat and takes me into her arms.
“It’s more serious than I thought mum, way more serious”
“Everything is going to be alright son, trust me. Just keep pushing” She encourages and I disengage myself from the hug and nod my head.
“Yes mum, everything is going to be alright”
Suddenly I hear footsteps barging into the living room and when I get there, I see Miguel holding both Kylie and Melissa(my younger cousin) by ears.
“What’s going on?”
“They were fighting during practice. Again!” Miguel reports and I turn to face the two girls who really do look like they were fighting, scattered hair, a few bites and scratches in each other’s bodies.
“What is wrong with the two you” I ask angrily.
“She started it!” Kylie reports
“No she started it!” Melissa contradicts.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
This is not the first time these two are fighting in the field. They have this secret enmity going on between them that I just can’t understand.
“Silence!” I order and they both go mute. Miguel still hasn’t let go of their ears and I can only imagine how red and hot they will be for the rest of the day.
Serves them right.
“I don’t care who stared this fight, all I know is that Melissa, you are going to move in here and you will be staying in Kylie’s bedroom”
“No!” Kylie tries to deny but I cast her deadly glance that causes her to stay quiet.
“You girls are going to live together until you learn to love each other the way you should. You two are sisters for goodness sake!” I roar and they both tremble in fear. “That will be all, Kylie, take Melissa to your bedroom”
“Hardin…”
“Do as your brother says Kylie!” Mother intervenes and she storms out of the living room with Melissa following her closely.
These two girls will give me a heart attack one of these days!
“What exactly are we going to do about them?” Miguel asks equally frustration like I am.
“They are going to live together until further notice. They will learn to tolerate each other, whether they like it or no!” I state firmly and Miguel just nods.
“Randez-vous at the field at noon” Miguel reminds.
“Can you just pass out that info for me? I’m not feeling too well to address the entire pack”
“No qualms, I’ve got you”
“Thank you”
“You’re welcome” He says as he walks out iyf the living room.
“If Reign doesn’t want to come down for breakfast, take it her so you both can eat together. I’ll see what I can do with those two cousins who want to take each other’s lives.”
“Alright mum” She leaves and I go into the kitchen where I meet Mayeva cleaning.
“Serve breakfast in my bedroom” Then I leave the kitchen.
Now I have to go and convince Reign to get out of that closet and eat.
Wheew!
There’s trouble in paradise.
Who would’ve thought that…?
Gah!
Reign was dead serious when she said she wasn’t going to stay in my bedroom. When it was bed time, she went straight into her bedroom and I only got news from Kylie that she loved the way it had been organized. Mum and a few of the maids had spent the better part of the day trying to organize that room and I knew it was going to take her off guard.
She talks and smile with everyone else, but me and I don’t like it at all. I want things to be different between us. I want her to smile whenever she hears my name or voice like I do, I want her to smile when she thinks about me like I do, I just want her to be happy whenever she around me.
How I wish things could be like that between us. Megan came as promised and I can only imagine the kind of things they conversed about, Megan, the bossy shewolf made sure I was nowhere around the bedrooms so I wouldn’t eavesdrop on their conversation. Now I can only hope that she did not paint me red all the more.
She’s famous for doing the most shocking things.
It’s almost midnight and I’m in my bedroom and I haven’t been able to get any sleep. Reign keeps raiding my mind and I swear I won’t sleep until I see her.
I jump down from my bed, put on my leather slippers and leave my bedroom for hers. When I get to her door, I gently creak it open and walk in. I turn on her lights and I’m amazed by the beauty of the room. The team colors of the room are white and pink which matches the walls. It looks so pretty and Reign sleeping on the bed of only makes the entire room look better.
Thank you mum.
I walk over to the bed and that’s when I notice that she is sweating profusely and her she’s breathing fast. I quickly take off the duvet from her body and the heat that radiates from her body gets me alarmed. I touch her forehead and notice that she’s burning up and I almost lo’ose my mind.
She’s actually breathing faster than normal and I’m so scared.
“Reign” I call as I give her a gentle tap on her shoulders and she open her eyes. “You alright babe?” I ask concerned and she bursts into tears and she crashes into my arms.
Her body is so hot against mine that I’m actually scared for her. Without a second thought, I scoop her into my arms and carry her out of the bedroom.
I don’t have time to call and wait for a pack doctor to come here. A few of them are always on night call at the hospital, I just have to take Reign to one of them.
She’s still crying in my arms and I can’t help but wonder what’s wrong.
“My … head hurts” She cries in agony and I actually run outside to my garage where my cars are parked. I throw the car keys to one of the guards who instantly catches and opens the car for us. I get in with Reign in the backseat and he takes the stirring and drives out if the castle premises.
As he drives on, I take a towel and from the car and dampen with water and place on Reign’s forehead so it can cool her down. I’m actually trembling right now.
I know nothing too severe can happen to her, but the fact she’s crying right now has got my Sympathetic Nervous system active as fuck.
I can actually here my heart beating violently in my chest and there’s a great amount of adrenalin flowing in my body right now.
My heart melts totally when she snuggles closer to me and buries her herself in my chest.
I swear I cannot do without this girl.
The moment we park in the hospital premises, I hastily open the door and carry Reign out. I walk with her in my arms into the hospital building and immediately, a stretcher is brought where I put her to lie on and the nurses take her into the emergency ward.
Things are never going to get better between us, are they?
