Chapter 41
Reign’S POV
They said I died, but I don’t remember anything, not even the fact that I was poisoned. I woke up at the hospital blank and I was shocked as to why I was there.
When they told me what happened, I was shocked because I didn’t feel like I had been poisoned. When I woke up, I was strong and I only felt like I had taken a long nap. Everyone kept asking if I was alright and that freaked me out because I was strong and didn’t see any need to be for them to panic.
All this could have only been the handiwork of the Moon goddess. Every time I face a life threatening situation, she saves me. She doesn’t want me to die and I wonder why.
My life is already miserable as it now and I can’t help but wonder why she wants me alive. Everyone hates me, I have been rejected by my mate and every now and then, people plan to hurt me, I wonder when she intends to redeem me from all this suffering.
There’s a knock at my room door and I grudgingly step down from my bed and go to and open it, only for me to see three other female servants standing before me. Two holding clothes in their hands and the other carrying a tray of food.
I look at them from head to toe totally confused.
“I think you must have missed the door” I explain to them and the one holding the food shakes her head.
“No, Alpha Hardin said to bring these to you” She explains and at the mention of the name Alpha Hardin, my blood boils in anger.
I’m still very mad at him for believing that I stole that jewelry without any prove. If this is his way to bribe me over, I won’t fall for it!
“Alpha Hardin sent you?” I ask with a raised brow and they nod.
“Yes”
“Well, tell him I said I don’t want any of these. I’m fine.”
“But…” Before she can say another word, I shut the door at her face and lean against it as I let out a heavy sigh of frustration.
I know I was rude to the girls, but I have to make Alpha Hardin realize that I’m not happy with the way he treated me the other day.
I walk over to my wardrobe and take out a blouse from it. I have on just a singlet and he can’t get in here and see me like this. I know that come rain, come sun, he’s going to show up here to reprimand me.
I am so ready for him!
Once I put on my blouse, I walk helter-skelter about the room, preparing myself to face him and by doing so, I’m warning the butterflies in my stomach not to start flying haphazardly when he shows up and also telling my heart not summersault when I hear his voice. This won’t be a moment for me to lust after him, I need to make a few things clear to him and I need all the seriousness in me to be activated, else I’ll trip and when I do… it’ll not be too good for me.
Soon, there is a loud knock at the door, I let out one final heavy breath as I go to open it and behold, there stands Alpha Hardin in all his glory dressed in all black outfit… well, he’s always dressed in black.
His dark brown eyes are completely dark right now and I can feel the fury burning in his eyes.
The butterflies in my stomach do not rise, my heart doesn’t summersault and my senses don’t fly out of my brain, but my fucking blood sings in my veins. No matter what, he will always an effect me one way or the other.
I swallow dryly as he gently pushes me aside and walks into the bedroom. I close the door and turn to face him and if looks could kill, then I’d be dead and forgotten by now. I don’t utter a single word as I bow my head down.
“What is the meaning of what you just did?” He asks in a deadly tone and I raise my head up to look at him.
“Excuse me?” I ask with a creased brow and he shoots his eyes open in shock.
“Excuse you?” He asks shocked and I nod confidently.
“Yeah, I don’t think I understand what you just said”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“You seem to have forgotten your place in this pack”
“No I haven’t, I’m a worthless security guard who can be badly treated by anyone, any time and however they want!” I reply firmly and his gaze on me intensifies. I don’t flinch, I stare at him in just the same manner.
“It’s a good thing you remember that aspect perfectly. You are worthless”
“Worthless you say, yet you sent a me clothes and food a while ago”
“And you have the audacity to reject them! How dare you?”
“I don’t like acts of hypocrisy, one minute you’re all soft and nice and the next minute when I’m accused of something, you don’t see it necessary to try to investigate before passing judgment, I’m always at fault to you!” I scold and he is taken aback by my sudden rage and anger. He walks helter-skelter around the room as he ruffles his thick black hair with his fingers clearly frustrated.
“Reign what makes you think you have the right to talk to me like that?”
“I know I have no right to talk to you like this, but I have to make some things clear to you, if you want to hate me, hate me completely, stop acting like a hypocrite cuz I’m not going to accept it. You can’t treat me badly and act the next minute like it never happened, like you’re trying to buy me over. I don’t want your stuff, Alpha!” I spit out furiously and he walks dangerously close to me. We both stare into each other’s blazing red eyes in anger.
“I …I …” He suddenly stutters and as he steps back and I can see his eyes become dark brown again. His anger seems to be subsiding and that kind of relieves me.
“I was just trying to be nice, given what happened to you yesterday. I’m no hypocrite Reign. Never been one, and will never be one” He says calmly as he walks to the door. “You just made me understand that you do not need my compassion, so we’ll go back to the way we used to be. Goodnight” Then he opens the door and walks out of the bedroom, slamming the door hard behind him.
This is what I wanted, to tell him my mind and I thought I would be happy or relieved after I do that but I just did and the most frustrating thing is that I don’t feel relieved or happy.
I am actually angry with myself for misjudging him and for putting myself in a more difficult situation.
If I have to suffer in the next weeks to come, it will be no one else’s fault but mine!
