Chapter 82
Hardin’S POV
“I still think you shouldn’t have let him scratch you Hardin, why didn’t you call one of guards, or better still, me?” Miguel whines as we walk across the field and I just roll my eyes.
He can be over protective at times and that irritates me a lot.
“I wasn’t just going to go and ask him give one the guards a scratch, he would have suspected something. I had to bring up an argument that would stir up his anger, besides, it has healed already, what’s your cry?”
“I’m your Beta, it’s my duty to make sure you are not hurt.”
“You are now more of a baby sitter than a better” I mock and he gives me a hard punch in the arm.
“Ouch!” I cry as I hold my arm and both him and Clark bursts into laughter.
“So tell me, how is Reign doing?” Miguel demands and at the mention of the name Reign, my heart starts beating abnormally and when I remember the kiss, I almost fly.
I try as much as I can not reminisce about that kiss but my mind betrays me and displays everything, including the way I felt during the action. My body heats up in excitement and a foolish smile appears on my lips.
“Yo! What’s with foolish smile? And why the fuck are you blushing?” Miguel asks giving me a queer look.
“I kissed her” I blurt out and both guys stop on their tracks and look at me in awe. “What?” I ask worried.
“You kissed Luna?” Miguel asks in horror and I nod.
“Yes I did”
“Does that mean the two of you are cool now?”
“I wish that was the case” I say in a sad tone and he creases his brows.
“What do you mean by that?”
“So, after the very passionate kiss we shared, my love, my mate and Luna, looked me in the eye and ordered me to get the hell out of get bedroom! That authoritative Luna of yours!”
“She’s a badass and I love her to bits. I love what she’s doing to you”
“Ugh! You can’t possibly say that”
“You need someone to iron up that spoiled ass of yours”
“I’m not spoiled!” I defend and he snorts.
“Wasn’t talking about you, I was talking about your ass!”
Immediately he finishes that statement, I start following him and he take on his heels. We both run all the way to the dungeon.
Miguel and I are never going to grow out of some old habits. That is one thing for sure.
Once we get to the dungeon, I take the keys to the silver prison and we walk over to it where meet Mr. Logan in the same position I had met him a while ago.
“Uncle Logan” Clark calls and he looks up at us.
“What are you doing here?”
“Uncle how could you do this?” Clark asks bitterly and Mr. Logan just shakes his head and smiles.
“Yeah, like why the hell did you do all this? Because it doesn’t lake any sense. Why would you lock up you daughter for eighteen years, Why would you kill your eldest daughter and put the blame on her you her sister?” I ask in fury.
“Because of you!’ He spites out angrily as he rises up from the floor and I look at him confused.
“What do you mean because of me?”
” You pompous self satisfied strut! Just as proud as that narcissistic father of yours. I hated you all. I have always hated the entire Colton generation. You all are nothing but a bunch of mannerless freaks!” He insulted and Miguel tries to charge after him but I hold him back. This is only getting more interesting.
“How can you hate people who have always dedicated their lives to protecting if not you but your ancestors. That is not a nice way to say thank you”
“There is absolutely nothing for me to be thankful for”
“Well you should, because without that particular lineage, you would be somewhere in the woods, hunted as a rogue!”
“Arrogance! Another horrible trait of the Coltons. I have always wondered why the Moon goddess chose this family as the family of Alphas. None of you have ever been good enough to be Alpha, most. Especially you!”
“Well sorry for you, your opinions about this issue are as irrelevant as Jokes. The Colton lineage is the lineage of Alphas and there is nothing you can do about it!” I state clearly and he smiles.
The nerve of this man!
“So you think! I have already put a big rift between you and your mate, she is never going to forgive you for what you did to her, hence you will never get what you need to rule your pack effectively!” He says with a sneer and I look at Miguel who looks just as confused as I am. I turn to Carl and his expression is no better than mine, I look back at Mr. Logan who seems to be laughing now.
“Foolish boy. You know nothing about Werewolf legends do you?”
“What werewolf legends?”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“Do you think it’s just by chance that Reign was born with extraordinary strength?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“How do you think I knew that Reign was your mate even when she had not turned eighteen yet?” He asks and I go mute.
I have never really put in much thought to that, but now that he has mentioned it, I am curious to know why.
“How do you know?”
“Foolish boy!” he insults once more and I just grit my teeth in anger. I feel like breaking his jawbones right now, but if I do that, he won’t able tell me what I want to hear.
“Speak!” I order in anger and he laughs.
He fucking laughs
“No need to get all worked up. I know I’m going to die anyway, so I’ll tell you. I wish you luck in trying to win Reign over again”
“I command you to speak!” I order yet again
“Yes Alpha Hardin” He replies and I can feel the sarcasm drooling from his statement. “You see, Reign’s strength didn’t just come by chance. It’s not just for her alone. She has extraordinary strength and speed that you are going to … can I call, inherit, the day you mate with her.”
“What?” I ask aghast and he nods his head.
“Yeah and don’t get excited, the Moon goddess won’t send those powers for nothing, that is a sign that your enemies are piling up and from time to time, there will be an influx of rogues in this pack, so you need extraordinary strengths like that to deal with them.”
“Why then did you keep Reign way from me”
“Simple, because I hate you! I hate you Hardin! I have always hated your father and when you became Alpha, that hatred passed on. When Reign was born, I killed the woman who told me she was the chosen Luna so she won’t spread the news to others, then I had Reign locked up. I encouraged Wilma to get close to you so that by the time Reign comes, you wouldn’t be interested in her, but on a second thought, I knew the mate bond that you both share will overcome everything sooner or later, so I had to hatch this plan. I killed Wilma and set up Reign so you would hate her and it did the trick!” He explains and I look at him in total disbelief.
How can one man be this evil and foolish.
Please don’t tell me anything he just said made any sense.
“Well, I guess you still underestimated the mate bond, I no longer hate Reign and she no longer hates me, sooner or later we are going to be with each other, having our special powers and ruling like the king and queen we are, but for you, you’ll long dead and forgotten and your soul would probably be burning in hell’s Everlasting Sulphur!”
“Reign is never going to forgive you for all what you did to her”
“I would let you live you see that day, but I don’t have that patience. I went you dead already. Say your last prayers, you will be publicly executed tomorrow. It’s a good thing you have no immediate family I should pity or be worried about. You are going to pay for your sins old man and when you meet the Moon goddess, do well to explain to her why you killed a child she blessed you with. Farewell” Then I walk out of the dungeon before I loose my sanity.
My father once told me about this, but I didn’t take it seriously because I had never imagined that the special Luna is going to be my mate.
When I finally mate with Reign, I am going to be faster and stronger, but that will also mean more battles to fight.
Oh boy!
