Reign’S POVBy the time I woke up the next morning, Alpha Hardin was long gone and I was relieved. 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 eyes 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 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 me
REIGN’S POV. “SEAN!” I call in horror as I rush over to my mentor who is groaning in pain as he tries to rise from the floor. “Oh my God I'm so sorry.” I apologise from the depth of my heart with pity filled in my heart. “Reign, how many times have I told you not to apologise when this happens? I’m used to this and besides, it’s training and getting beat tup by you means I'm doing my job properly. Your father will be proud.” He tells me with a big smile on his face and sadness overwhelms me at the mention of my father’s name. Being extraordinarily powerful should have its perks, but so far, I haven’t seen any perks or pros, just cons. I see my extraordinary strength as a curse. I am the most powerful werewolf in my family and dare I say, my entire pack, except for the Alpha. At least that’s what my father told me. My mother died at childbirth because of my powers and since then, my father has despised my entire existence. He hid me from the public until I turned four years old and
REIGN’S POV.I had no idea my father organised such a grand birthday for me. He hates me, so I thought he wasn’t going to organise a party for me as always, but I guessed wrong. Father went a long to organise a grand ball for me and to say I'm shocked is an understatement. I am dumbfounded!Everyone looked surprised when he announced me to them as his second daughter and they all have been nothing but nice to me. Everyone keeps telling me I look like my mum and it makes me want to cry because I'm the reason she’s no more. That’s why my father hates me, because my coming took the life of his mate. He has never forgiven me for that and I live with that guilt everyday of my life.Last night, before bedtime, I was shocked to see my sister walk into my bedroom with a smile on her face after the fight we had earlier that afternoon. I had expected not to get a glimpse of her for months like always, but she showed up in my bedroom that night all smiles and even apologised for trying to force
REIGN’S POV.“Take her to the silver prison and torture her until your hearts content!” He orders and the men drag me away. I can hear my wolf whimper as she hears our mate order his men to torture us for a crime we did not commit.Could it really be that I killed my sister? Could it really be that the wolf I thought was a rogue was my sister? If that was the case then why did she attack me? Why did she want to kill me instead?I couldn’t recognise her because I have never seen her wolf. All my life the only person’s wolf I have been familiar with is my Mentor’s wolf. He’s the only one who was allowed to shape-shift before me because he had to train me. Even my father never let me see his wolf.This can’t be happening.“Silver Prison.” Those two words ring in my mind and when reality hits me, I start to panic. Silver is poisonous to werewolves and right now Hardin has ordered his men to lock me up in a prison made of Silver, does he really intend to kill me?The men drag me along a da
Hardin’s POVSometimes I feel like cursing the moon goddess for doing such obnoxious things. How could she pair me up with such a cruel murderer for a mate?I hate Reign, I hate her for murdering the woman I love, my chosen Luna. I was this close to ending her miserable life but my Beta and best friend, Miguel stopped me. One thing for sure is that I will never forgive her for this crime she committed and for as long as she lives in this pack, I will make sure she lives a miserable life. She’s going to pay for taking Wilma away from me.My office door creaks open and Miguel walks in with an eternal frown masked on his face. I wonder what he has come to quarrel with me about this time around.“What now Miguel?” I ask with a frown.“Did you see what your men did to her? They broke her arm” He scolds.“Well that’s more than what she did to Wilma! I should have killed her myself”“You didn’t even let the poor girl explain herself” He scolds yet again.“Explain what exactly? Didn’t you see
MR LOGAN’S POVA round of applause for me, the perfect schemer of all time. This is it. This is how I wanted things to turn out and I’m just a minute from exploding with joy. I have succeeded in separating that pompous Alpha boy from his mate. If Alpha Hardin mates with Reign, he will become stronger and more powerful than he already is and I don’t want that. He is already too strong and powerful for my liking and I don’t want him to get any stronger.I am a very powerful werewolf leader and I hate having to take orders from a little boy all because he is Alpha and worst of all, my own daughter would have ruled over me in the name of being Luna.What insolence!You might be wondering how I knew that Reign was Alpha Hardin’s mate, well, it was easy. When Reign was still locked up, Wilma rarely visited her but one day, she decided to visit her and after their encounter, Wilma met with Alpha Hardin on her way to my sister’s house. He was attracted to the pheromone that emanated from he
Reign’S POVBright lights almost destroy my rods and cones the moment I open my eyes. I groan in pain as I quickly shut them and turn my face away. I hope I’m dead.I hope the bright lights are an indication that I’m in the land of the dead where I can finally meet my mother and explain to her all what happened. I’m sure she’ll believe me when I tell her that I’m innocent.I gently open my eyes and calmly rise up and the first thing I feel is excruciating pain in my left arm. I wince in pain as I gently place my right on it and carefully scan the room I find myself in. It’s a big room with all white walls and I’m lying on a bed in the center. When I look down at myself, I notice that I have on an immaculate white gown and that makes me breathe in relief.If I’m in a white gown, that means I’m dead.“You’re awake.” A voice announces by my side and when I turn to look, I see an elderly man who has on a white lab coat, seated by my side and holding a book in his hand. He also has a ste
Hardin’S POVWilma was buried today. She has finally been put six feet and I can only hope that her soul rests in perfect peace. I loved Wilma. From the first day I saw her, I knew she was the one. I got a whiff of the pheromone she emitted and it attracted me to her. Since then, I have never understood how come she was not my mate. It is known that a Shewolf emits a pheromone that only her mate can perceive. That day when I first saw Wilma, her pheromone attracted me and I had expected my wolf, Adam, to jump around and announce the word “mate” in my mind but he didn’t. Instead, he had told me she wasn’t our mate, but I couldn’t resist the pheromone I smelled on her, so I spoke to her after which we started meeting more frequently and Adam eventually learned to like her too.When Wilma found her mate, she didn’t hesitate to reject him and I was beyond grateful. I loved her very much, so I promised her that I was going to reject my own mate the day I would find her and I did just th

Reign’S POVI walk over to Ma’am Sophia’s room door and knock with a smile plastered on my face. Whenever she sends for me, I’m happy because I know she has something positive to tell me.A few moments later, she opens the door and I immediately crash into her arms.“Careful not to hurt your arm.” She cautions and my smile widens.She cares a lot about me.“Good morning” I greet the moment we break the hug and go into her bedroom.“How was your first night at the Alpha’s chamber?”“Suffocating, the thought that he’s sleeping in the room next to mine makes me want to piss my pants every time.” I explain and she just chuckles and shakes her head.“You’ll get used to it”“Shannelle told me the exact same thing.”“And she was right”“I just wish I wasn’t there. It feels very weird to be there with him. Especially when we have to meet at the hallway or any other part of the house. His dark brown eyes are the last thing I want to look at”“You’ll be fine, Reign, Alpha Hardin is not going
Reign's POVRight now, I am tempted to think that Alpha Hardin is confused and frustrated like Beta Miguel said.This is just crazy. One minute he’s all arrogant and cruel and awfully sarcastic and the next minute he’s the perfect sweet mate. I still can’t believe what he did last night. Called the pack’ orthopedic doctor to come and check on me and when he said I needed to do an x-ray at the hospital, he wasted no time to carry me all the way there.Could it really be that he loves and cares for me but he just doesn’t want to admit it? Like, that could be the only reason for such perplexed actions, right?How can one person be so bipolar?Whatever be the case, I don’t care. If he hates me, which I’m ninety percent sure he does, I don’t care and even if that ten percent keeps raiding my mind about the possibility that he could be in love with me, I still do not care. Alpha Hardin has done a lot of unforgivable things to me and the worst of them was ordering his guards to kill my ment
Hardin’S POV“Wow! I didn’t think you were going to act that fast!” Miguel remarks and I just sip more Bourbon from my glass.I just told him what I did and he seemed surprised. When it comes to Reign…When it comes to Reign…(Chuckles)Let’s just leave it there for now.“I had to do something. That girl is capable of doing the impossible and if I don’t monitor her every move, she’s going to give me a heart attack”“Heart attack? That’s deep”“No it isn’t”“Yes it is dummy, but you can’t know because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon!” He insults and I just chuckle as I shake my head.“Unlike you, I never let emotions cloud my judgment!”“I’d rather let emotions cloud my judgment than act the way you are acting right now. Hardin, you’re not going to feel this now, just wait for Reign to leave this pack, that’s when you’ll know how much she means to you”“Tss… you are a sentimental fool Miguel. Reign leaving will not affect me in any way, watch and see” I dare, not even underst
Reign’S POVI’m not done shying over the fact that he saw me stark naked yesterday, I have not finished processing that fact in my mind. I’m not even done trying to be normal or comfortable about the thought that he has memories of my naked body lingering on his mind and he has just dropped another bomb.He wants me to move into his chambers and become his private cleaner. So I have to look him in the face everyday and remember that he has seen my nakedness. By the way I don’t want to live anywhere near him. He has a bad attitude of always taunting me every time we cross paths. If I stay at his chambers, he is going to do that frequently and I swear I might lose my mind. I don’t want to be anywhere near him!“What?” I ask just to be sure that I heard what he said.“I believe you heard me clearly Reign”“That wasn’t the plan!” I fire back.“Oh… wasn’t it?”“You very well know that wasn’t the plan”“Well, do well to remind me about the plan, I think it slipped my mind”“You said I was
Reign’S POV“If you ask me, I’d say it sounds romantic” Ma’am Sophia remarks and I look at her in awe. I just narrated to her what happened last night and I’m shocked that she finds it amusing.I don’t even know if I’ll have the courage to face Alpha Hardin if he ever shows up before me. They guy saw me completely naked yesterday.No man, I repeat no man has ever seen me naked.If I’m afraid of getting naked before other girls, then what about a man?I would melt the next time I see him.“Seriously Ma’am, he saw me stark naked and you think it’s romantic?” I ask in horror and she just smiles.“I don’t think so, I know it is. I can just picture the way he had your slender naked body in his big muscular arms, striding across the wide lawn of the servant quarters with all the grasses and trees bowing down as the Alpha makes way with Luna in his protective arms. How can you not even find that romantic?” She exaggerates and I just shake my head as I eat.This is all my fault anyway. If
Reign’S POVIf I say Beta Miguel’s words didn’t ring hard on me all day, then I’ll be lying. I couldn’t do anything properly. I kept thinking about what he said, kept thinking about the possibility of it being true. What if Alpha Hardin really loves me, what if he’s just confused and frustrated like they claim? What if all this is actually true?Dang it! I hate having to be in this situation. I just wish the days could go by quickly so I can leave this place.“There’s something fundamentally wrong with me” I whisper to myself as I walk further into the woods. It’s almost ten pm and I don’t even know what I’m going to find there, all I know is that I need to be far from that castle, far from everyone else so I can think. Think about what exactly? I do not know. I just need to be somewhere alone with my thoughts.I miss my Mentor. I miss him so much that it hurts to think that he is dead and gone, all thanks to Alpha Hardin. While growing up, he didn’t play just the role of a Men
Reign’S POV“Good morning Dylan” I greet once I get to my post and meet Dylan lying on one of the chairs.He’s the male guard supervisor and I actually feel sorry for him at times. He’s always on the move and I can’t help but wonder if he ever gets to spend time with his family. He’s always around the castle, answering Alpha Hardin’s every call and running all his errands.He seriously deserves better.“Good morning, Reign” He greets as he rushes up from the chair and smiles at me. That actually takes me off guard.It’s strange to see a guard smile, let alone their leader. I reciprocate the smile with an awkward one.“How was your night?” He asks.“It was okay” I say with a careless shrug and he just nods as he rises from his seat.“That’s nice to hear. I’ll just go ahead” He says as he turns to leave.“Dylan” I call back and he turns to face me.“Yes Reign”“You’re doing a great job, your parents must be proud of you” I compliment and he smiles and nods.“It has always been my drea
REIGN'S POV.I make my way to Ma’am Sophia’s office feeling blissful. She sent for me and I can’t help but wonder what she wants to tell me, but whatever it is, I know it’s good news.I have grown very fond of her these past weeks and I love her dearly. I’m going to miss her when I leave for Goodland. There’s one thing that baffles me about her, she never talks about her family, nor does she go to visit them. Other servants have days off within the week when they are permitted to visit their families, but she never takes a day off. I wonder why.I’m going to ask her.When I get to her door, I knock and immediately, she opens up with a beaming smile on her face.She’s such a happy soul.“Hello” I greet enthusiastically and she draws me into her arms.I like it when she gives me that tender motherly hug and she always smells so nice!“How was your day at the post?” She asks once we get into her bedroom.“Not bad. I met my father today.”“Oh…”“And he didn’t seem pleased to see me,” I
