THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Hardin’S POV

So, after bawling my eyes out in my mother’s arms a while ago, here I am, seated in my office, sipping a glass of…

Nope, it’s not whiskey, it’s apple juice this time around.

I’ve consumed to much alcohol these past days and I intend to limit it. It’s not too good for my liver and kidneys.

I just summoned Miguel, we need to plan on how to go out and find my mate tonight. I can’t let her spend a single night in another pack.

I don’t even know what I’m going to say to convince her to come with me, all I know is that when I find her, I’m bringing her home with me.

My room door creaks open and Kylie walks in with a smile plastered on her face. She hasn’t been happy all day. I wonder what’s making her happy now.

“Is it true?” she asks enthusiastically as she approaches me and I get confused.

What is she talking about?

“What exactly?”

“Is it true that you’re going to bring Reign back?”

“Uh .. who told you that?”

“Duh, I did not eavesdrop, mum told me” She defends and I just smile.

I’m glad she knows the extent to which I hate when she eavesdrops on people’s conversations.

“Good then”

“So, is it true?”

“Do you honestly think mum will lie to you?”

“Well… ” She says as she sits on my lap.

That has been her habit since she was a kid. Sitting on my laps and curling up herself in my arms.

“Reign, you’re fifteen” I point out as she struggles to find her way into my arms.

“So what?”

“Please grow. When Reign comes, only her will have the right to cuddle in my arms like this.”

“Tss… let’s watch and see”

“You are not going to fight with her, are you?”

“Fighting is lame, I’ll just blackmail her emotionally”

“You’re crazy!”

“I know right”

My office door creaks open yet again and this time around, Miguel walks in and when he sees our position he bursts into laughter.

“Some old habits never die, aye?”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I was just telling her this might be the last time she’s doing this.”

“And I said no!” She yells as she jumped down from my laps. “I’ll leave you two to figure out how to find my sister-in-law and mind you, don’t come back if you don’t find her” she warns and I bow down my head.

“Yes ma’am!”

“Good!” Then she walks out of the office.

“She’s definitely a Luna, nothing can convince otherwise” Miguel concludes.

“I really do pity the Alpha who will have to deal with her. She’s quite a handful to deal with”

“I think she’s adorable”

“Puh-lease” I say rolling my eyes. “Kylie is anything but adorable. Don’t make me choke!”

“Well, you are her elder brother there’s no way you can accept.”

” Yeah, whatever. Enough about Reign”

“You called” He says she sits in the chair opposite mine. “It’s good to see you drinking something healthy” He says pointing to the apple juice and I just smile as I sip more.

I look at Miguel closely and wonder is he is actually for real. He was the first person to make it clear to me that I was going to regret my actions. He tried to talk me out of my decision of maltreating Reign time and again but I didn’t listen, but never for once has he judged me, he has done nothing but consoled an encouraged me all day. Even when I shut everyone out, he stood by the door and I could hear him saying encouraging words from outside.

He’s such a loyal friend and sometimes, I can’t help but think that I don’t deserve his friendship and loyalty. I’m always the one having situations to deal with, I’m always the one who needs his help and advice. I can’t remember the last time I actually helped him as a friend or gave him any words ift encouragement. It’s always about me and my problems.

If he’s not dealing with pack issues, he’s dealing with my personal issues. It’s always about me and I feel bad.

I understand that it’s his position as Beta to serve me in every way, but he’s not just my Beta, he is my childhood and best friend and I need to treat him better.

“How come you’re not judging me about this whole issue?” I ask and gives me a confused look.

“I don’t think I understand what you mean”

“You were the first person to warn me about my actions towards Reign, you said this day was going to come and here it is. How come you haven’t reminded me of your warning, how come you are not blaming me for this?” I ask curious and he just smiles.

“Remember all those times we used to boycott training to go swim down stream?”

“Yeah” I reply with a light chuckle.

“Remember that day my late father found us and took our clothes away? He knew we wouldn’t be able walk naked so we’ll try to shapeshift into our wolves which was the same painful process we had escaped from”

“And we ended up screaming out our lungs in the woods as we shapeshifted and we still got caught by my father” I say almost cracking in laughter.

“We got whooped properly!”

“We have both received lashes from bother fathers. It didn’t even seem like we were the future Alpha and Beta of this pack, we used to be very recalcitrant children”

“But here we are responsible and duty conscious, doing a great job ruling this great pack, especially you, the Alpha. Hardin, we have gone a long way as friends, brothers, Alpha and Beta. We did a lot of outrageous things in our childhood, even in our adolescent years and never for once did we judge each other. We always stood by each other’s side and that’s never going to change. Even if you make the worse mistakes, I will never judge you, I’ll only try to see to it that you correct that mistake and not do it again another time” He explains and my heart swells with emotions.

“You know, many at times, I feel guilty about the fact that it’s always me who needs help. I’m the only one who ever needs saving and advice and defense. I’m always taking from you, but I don’t remember the last time I ever assisted you in doing anything”

“Well, since we were kids, you and I know you have always been the one to cause drama, get into trouble, I guess some old habits never change. And not to worry, I’m always available for you, stop feeling guilty, we are pals and that’s what pals do for each other”

“Thanks a lot Miguel”

“Anytime bro. Anytime at all”

“So, that said, we need to go out in search for Reign”

“I thought you were never going to pass that order. I’ll just go now and prepare the soldiers. We are storming into Blue moon pack and we’re not leaving until we find Reign”

“Exactly”

“I’ll let you know when the guards are ready”

“I’ll be waiting”

He walks out of the office and I empty my glass of apple juice and pick up my black over-all coat from the nearby couch and walk out of the office.

I’m going to go ahead. If I had told Miguel in there, we would’ve argued about how unsafe the woods is for me.

Like I’m the freaking Alpha and I’m the strongest wolf in the world, who could possibly have the balls to want attack me?

I have to find my Luna and I don’t have time going about organizing troops.

I need to find her IMMEDIATELY!
