THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Hardin’S POV

If you ask me why I keep holding myself back from hitting her, I’ll have no reasonable answer to give you and it’s definitely not what you have on your mind.

It’s not because she’s my mate.

When I was young, my father used to talk bad about men who hit women. He called them weasels, I guess that’s why I always hold myself back when ever I want to hit her.

I’m not a weasel.

She was shivering from the cold and Adam kept insisting that I took her to somewhere warm or better still hug her at that instant but I pushed him aside. The last thing I’m ever going to do is comfort her or make her feel like I have a soft spot for her.

I want her to fear me. I want her to feel guilty for what she did to her sister every time she looks at me.

I’m so going to deal with her that only the sound of my name will get her down on her feet and trembling, that way she would understand that she messed with the wrong person.

I take long strides towards the castle but I can still perceive the smell of her pheromone.

It’s the exact same smell I used to perceive on her sister. That sweet attractive smell that captured me and till today I have not been able to do understand how come Wilma was not my born mate, because from the first day we met, this was the same smell I perceived from her and it attracted me to her and as if that isn’t enough puzzle for me figure out, here I am, trying to figure out why Reign emits just the same pheromone as her sister.

She isn’t wearing Wilma’s clothes, neither has she seen Wilma but she smells like her and it seems like the smell she emits is stronger than Wilma’s.

The smell is intoxicating and I had to leave her presence before I acted out of character.

What’s going on, like what’s actually happening?

How did I suddenly get caught up between two sisters like this? Sometimes it’s really frustrating.

“Hardin!” Someone calls the moment I step into the living room and I don’t need to be told that it’s Kylie. She’s the one of the few people right now who call me by my name.

There’s just three of them though. Kylie, Miguel and my mother.

My mum is out there, somewhere having the adventure of her life.

“Yes, Kylie” I answer as I turn to look at her. “You have my undivided attention”

“Look! I can now transform my fingers into paws without actually feeling the pain.” She hypes and I just cover my face with my palms and shake my head.

I have more pressing issues to deal with, but here I am listening to a fifteen year-olds shapeshifting fantasy.

Sometimes, I really hate being a big brother.

“Can I see?” I ask after all. It’s my duty to always support and make sure she’s happy and above all taking her training serious and now that she’s doing all those things, I need to make her understand that she’s doing the right thing and that I will be by being there for her whenever she needs me.

“Look!” She urges and I look up at her and when I do, I’m amazed at what I see. She just transformed her fingers into paws.

“You have no idea how much you make me proud princess.” I say with a sweet smile and she rushes over and hugs me tight.

Not even the fact that I’m Alpha makes her fear me one bit.

“Just keep it up okay, Sooner or later the pain will go away and you won’t have to boycott training.”

“I can’t wait”

“Good. Uh, I have to go now…”

“Hardin” She suddenly calls with a calm voice.

“Yes cupcake”

“I heard a rumor that the girl who killed Wilma is back”

“Sort of sweetie, but she has been taken care of. You don’t need to worry about that”

“Is it true that she’s your mate?” She asks innocently and I give her a quick nervous glance.

No one is supposed to know that Reign is my mate.

“Who told you that?” I ask aghast and she shrugs.

“Well…. I…”

“Answer me!” I demanded fiercely and she jumps in fright and stepped backwards.

“I … I overheard you discussing with Beta Miguel in your office yesterday”

“You eavesdropped on our conversation? What did I tell you about eavesdropping?”

“No! No! I swear I didn’t… I mean.. it was not intentional. I’m sorry” She pleads almost in tears and I look at her long and hard.

“Go to your room, I’m still to decide how many months you’re going to be grounded”

“Hardin…”

“Years!” I threaten and she scurries away sobbing. She knows how much I detest the act of eavesdropping, yet she did it.

I’ll get back to her later, for now, I need to figure out how to deal to deal with Reign’s pheromone that keeps raiding my mind.

I walk into my office and I’m surprised to see Miguel arranging a few papers on my table that was initially very disorganized.

He’s stubborn.

I’ve told him time and again that I’ve got a maid who has been specially assigned to do that but he wouldn’t listen.

“I think it’s high time I start punching you each time I walk in here and see you doing what a maid should be doing”

“We could as well start having our special duals everyday then”

“Then it wouldn’t be anymore, would it?” I ask as I slump on my office chair.

I can no longer get the smell of Reign’s pheromone and in a way, I’m sad.

It smelt so pleasant and I just want to be around her all day, but I can’t.

“And, why are you blushing?” Miguel asks and I shoot him a confused glance.

“Why am I what?” I ask aghast.

“Blushing, your cheeks are all red. Where are you from?”

“I went to see that murderer and stop saying I’m blushing, the anger…”

“Ahah!” He suddenly exclaims loudly with a wide smile and an amused expression.

“No, no, don’t even go there. I’m nothing close to feeling anything for that girl.”

“It’s not like you have to start developing feelings for her, those feelings have already been invested in you by the Moon goddess and all it needs to do is manifest and trust me bro, you can’t control it.”

“You won’t say this crap if know what I did to her today”

“What do you do?” He asks as a frown replaces the smile in his face.

“I shredded her jacket into pieces and left her to freeze. I hope she dies in that cold”

“You are pure evil Hardin!”

“No, she is. She killed her sister”

“How different are from her if you shredded her jacket and left her to freeze in the cold?” He asks with creased brows.

“Vengeance, there’s a difference between murder and vengeance bro. she murdered her sister, my chosen mate and Luna and right now, I’m seeking vengeance. There’s a difference.”

“I’m done having this conversation with you. I’m going to check on Reign” Then he bolts out of my office before I can utter another word.

Miguel will always be Miguel.

The thought about Reign’s pheromone lingers on my mind again and I just push it aside. I’m not going to think any further about it, she might just be emitting the same pheromone because she is Wilma’s sister.

But then, it is known that a Shewolf emits a peculiar pheromone that can only be smelled by her mate.

Reign is my mate and it’s normal that she emits that pheromone, how then was it possible that Wilma emitted the same pheromone when she was alive?

What exactly is going on?
