Chapter 27
“You let the pack doctor have her checked up?” Miguel asks in amusement. I just told him what I did and he is hyping unnecessarily.
I do that to any of my subjects who are sick.
“It’s nothing Miguel, stop trying to make a big deal out of it”
“I have to, I thought you wanted her to die, then why did you care?”
“I don’t care!” I deny flatly.
“Damn! You are stubborn! Why won’t just accept that you care about Reign?”
“Because I don’t! Now this topic is dismissed. You can leave” I order and he immediately rises up from the couch with a sickening smile plastered on his face.
“I’m proud of you” He says and walks out of my office. I let out a heavy sigh of frustration as I bang my table loudly with my clenched fists.
This isn’t going like I planned, I’m not supposed to care for her, I’m not supposed to feel this way about her, what is she doing to me?
I hate her for trying to breakdown the walls I’m trying build up in my heart. I hate her for capturing my mind!
And I hate her for the fact that right now, I feel like I will die if I go to bed without seeing her face.
I rise up from my the chair and bolt of my office.
I have to see Reign, else I won’t be able to get any sleep tonight.
I leave my chambers and go over to the servant quarters and when I arrive there, I’m expecting to get the smell of her pheromone, but I don’t get any. Most at times, whenever I’m close to her, I start perceive her smell but today is different and I wonder why. When I get to her room, I knock as I shake my head in pity.
I really do pity myself.
If someone were to ask me what I was doing here at the servant quarters at this time, knocking at the door of the girl who killed my chosen mate, I would have no explanation to give.
All I know is that I have to see her, I just have to see her. I wait a few moments and there’s still no sign of her coming to open the door, so I knock again.
Few moments, and there’s still no reply. That’s when I begin to panic.
What could have happened to her?
She wasn’t feeling too well earlier and now she’s not opening her door, she can’t be asleep.
What if… ?
The moment the thought crosses my mind, I use my Alpha strength to break down the door and rush into the room, but when I get in and scan around, Reign is no where to be found and that’s when I get alarmed.
She has escaped.
I bolt out of the bedroom and mark out of the servant quarters over to the security quarters.
“Guards!!!” I scream the moment I walk into the gates and immediately, tons of guards scurry towards me.
I’m mad, I’m furious. Reign can’t leave me. Not like this.
I’m not done figuring out what it is that I feel for her, I’m done torturing her, she just can’t leave!
No!
“Miguel, report to the servant quarters immediately” I mind link Miguel as I turn to the rest of the guards.
“How did this happen?” I roar and they all bow their heads down in panic.
“Alpha, we have no idea what you are talking about”
“Where is Reign?”
“Alpha, she should be in her bedroom”
“She’s not there! Out all of you, go out and search for her, Now!”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“I command and they all hastily scurry out of the quarters.
“Hardin! What’s wrong? Why are you sending them into the woods at night”
“Reign escaped!”
“What?” He asks alarmed.
“I’m going to find her, and when I do, she’s going to get it hot from me”
“Hardin…” I walk away from his presence before he can start preaching to me.
I dash into the woods and get confused on which direction to take.
Wall street pack is enormous and one can look for her the entire night to no avail.
“Reign, I’m very sure you have a dead wish. After all my warnings you still decided to piss me off by trying to escape. You just stepped on another wrong nerve and you are going to pay for getting me all worked up” I close my eyes and try if I can perceive her pheromone. It’s possible for a werewolf to track his mate by following her pheromone.
“Let me out!” Adam screams in my head and I block him out.
I need to do this on my own.
“Sweet moon goddess!” I exclaim the moment I perceived a faint smell of Reign’s pheromone. It’s faint because she’s far away.
I quickly take on my heels in the direction of their the pheromone at top speed and as I draw closer, the smell becomes stronger and I wonder why.
If she’s trying to flee, she’s supposed to be running but it doesn’t seem so.
When I finally get close enough, I hear the sound of gentle sobs and that’s when the pheromone hits me so hard that I almost loose my senses.
She smells so nice. I look around only to see Reign curled up on the ground, sobbing and I feel a wave of anger wash through me. She tried to escape and I’m not going to spare her.
“Reign!” I shout and she abruptly raises her head and the moment she sees me, she cries harder as tears come spilling down her cheeks.
Her tears….
Her tears… they pierce my heart like a thousand daggers and I fight my urge to go and hug and console her.
I won’t give in to my heart’s desires. I won’t.
I march over to her and abruptly raises up by her left hand and I get startled when she screams in agony. I quickly let go of her and she falls in her feet.
“You tried to escape, didn’t you?” I ask in anger and she quickly raises her head up to look at me.
“No, I did not?” She defends.
“Then what are you doing out here in the night?”
“I …. I..” She stutters.
“I don’t want to listen to your any if your explanations. We had a deal but you have tried to go against it, for that, you will be punished severely. Now rise up!”
I order and she weakly gets on her feet and that’s when I notice a dagger in her left hand.
The nerve of this girl!
“You even had to take a dagger with you for self defense. You are indeed a murderer and a backstabber too. I’m going to make sure you regret ever trying to escape from me” I promise as I step closer to her and hold her, this around by her right arm and drag her along with me.
“Alpha Hardin please, you have to listen to me” She cries but I pay a deaf ear to her please. “Please don’t take me to the silver prison. I beg you” She cries harder and I stop on my tracks and look her.
Her face is completely drenched with years and is all red and I am actually tempted to feel sorry for her, but I won’t.
“How did you know I was heading just there?”
“Please Alpha, I swear on my life that I was not trying to escape”
She says in tears and just then, my guards arrive and I aggressively push her over to them before her tears and pleas cause me to do otherwise.
She needs to be punished for trying to leave me.
“Lock her up in the silver prison!” I command immediately, the guards take her away.
“Seriously Hardin?” That’s Miguel.
Without warning, I immediately let Adam out and shape shift, caring less about my clothes that have been shredded into pieces.
I need to clear my mind.
