THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Reign’S POV

Living in Alpha Daniel’s castle doesn’t seem awkward any more especially now that I have talked with the other servants. They no longer look at me like I’m an alien and we’re working just well together.

Come to think of it, this is actually my first experience living with other werewolves since I was born. While I lived at my father’s house, I was isolated and avoided like a plague. Every one here seems so cool and the castle is always busy.

How I wish this was my pack instead, how I wish my mate was from this pack. I see the way the male werewolves here are so protective of their mates and I’m jealous. They treat their mates so love care and anytime I witness such, all what comes to my mind is the fact that my mate rejected me to be with my sister and as if that was not enough, he accused and punished me for a crime I did not commit.

Some times, I ask myself why the Moon Goddess even created me at all, why she sent me to come and suffer for the rest of my life.

My situation is so sad that most at times, I can help but cry my eyes out.

Why did my life turn out to be so bad?

My left arm still hurts like crazy and I’m even surprised as to how I’m still able to do a few things right now. It’s a good thing that the rest of the maids are nice, they let me do just little work so I don’t overwork my arm. I’m really grateful to have met them.

Once I step out of the bathroom, I hastily put on my pyjamas before the others can get in. I’m still trying to get comfortable with them seeing my nakedness. All my life, I have never had to strip naked in front of anyone as I was isolated. I just feel very uncomfortable having to go naked before Tasha and Avery.

The door open and Tasha and Avery walk in giggling like five year-olds returning from a toy store. Avery’s face is all red and I wonder what’s making her blush so much.

“Hey girls” I greet with a cheerful smile.

“Hi Reign” Tasha greets enthusiastically as an I smile. She has the same energy in the morning, afternoon and evening.

The most happy soul I have ever met in my life.

“Why are you girls so excited and most especially, why is Avery’s face as red as beetroot”

“Guess who found her mate today!” Tasha announces and I open my eyes wide in surprise.

“Avery found her mate!” I conclude excitedly and Tasha joins me.

“You know I had to drag her all the way here, she was ready to follow him to his house there and there”

“Why didn’t you let her go with him?”

“No, not yet. I’m not ready to lose my best friend just yet”

“Come on Tasha, we all know you already have, just take a look at Avery” I say as I point to Avery who is seated on the and smiling like a someone who just drank a love potion. “Avery’s mind and soul is now with her mate where ever he is.”

“This is so unfair, we should have found our mates at the same time!” She laments .

“Haven’t you found your mate yet?” I ask in shock and she sadly shakes her head.

“No” She answers and suddenly there’s a loud snore and when we turn to look at Avery’s bed, we see her fast asleep and I can’t help but laugh. “She’s with Alaric right now in her dreams”

“You can bet me on that”

“So tell me, have you found your mate yet?” She asks smiling and I feel a sharp pain course through my heart.

My mate.

The one who rejected me.

The one who tortured me.

“Err… Well….” I stutter, I don’t even know why I’m finding it hard to just tell her no and close the topic.

“Don’t you dare lie to me, young woman. Spill the beans!” Tasha says in a firm tone and I chuckle. Tasha is such a free spirited person and I am beginning to like her very much.

I look at her for a while and suddenly let out a heavy sigh of frustration. Maybe the reason why this issue keeps boiling in my heart like magma so much is that I haven’t discussed it with anybody. Every now and then, I feel like I have a very heavy load on my head that’s weighing me down and I know it’s because of what I’m carrying in my heart.

I’m just going to tell her.

“I’m still waiting” She sings and I laugh.

“Tasha” I call as I take my hands in hers.

“Yes Reign”

“What I’m about to tell you is not very pleasant and I want you to promise me that you won’t say this to another soul, not even Avery”

“Not even her?”

“Yeah” I say nodding. “I haven’t told anyone about this before, not even the Alpha, so please let this just be between us”

“Alright then, I promise not to tell anyone”

“Thank you”

“So…”

“Yes, I found my mate”

“Yay!” Tasha squeals in excitement.

“But he rejected me”

“What?” She asks in shock. “He rejected you?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Yeah, you see, on my eighteenth birthday, which was just a few days ago, I found my mate but he rejected me to be with my sister.”

“Holy Moly! Who even does that?”

“My very love sick mate does”

“Did he do this to you, is that why you left your pack?” She asks sadly and I can feel tears burning in my eyes. This is the reason why I didn’t want to talk about this with anyone. I am very close to breaking down right now.

“Well, not directly but yeah, he’s responsible for this”

“Oh my God! He’s evil. I pray the Moon Goddess strikes him to dead one of these days. A werewolf is meant to protect his mate from all pain and danger, not inflict it on her. If I ever get to see him, I swear I’ll give him a jaw breaking punch and he’ll be sorry for what he did to you!” She swears firmly and all can do is laugh at her.

The day she’ll see my mate, she won’t even have the courage to look into his eyes, talk less of punching him in the face.

“I can bet you that the day you’ll see my mate, you won’t even be able to look into his eyes.” I voice out my thoughts and she frowns

“What nonsense! That can only happen if he’s an Alpha, but if he’s not, juts wait and see what I’ll do”

She rants on and I just keep laughing. I swear Tasha is a whole vibe and we are going to be such good friends.

I don’t want to tell her that my mate is an Alpha, not to even mention the fact that he is Alpha Hardin.

Alpha Hardin is like Paramount Alpha of the entire country and other packs fear and respect him a lot.

Yes, rejected and hurt me and I hate him for that, but strangely I feel like I don’t want others to hate him, I don’t want others to know he did this to me. No matter what, he is still my mate and I know I’ll feel ten times this pain I’m feeling if people turn against him because of me.

If you’d ask me why I feel that way, I wouldn’t know.

“Alright then, you win.” I say as walk over to bed and sit on it and just then, the door creaks open and the Maid Supervisor, walks in, looking stern as always but deep within, she is such a kind woman.

She’s the one responsible for ensuring that we the maids do our work effectively and properly and trust me when I tell you that she’s doing a great job.

“Good evening ma’am Cassandra” Tasha and I greet in unison and she smiles.

She always smiles.

“Good evening to you girls, about to go bed?” She asks and her stern look has now been replaced with a very beautiful smile.

The other servants told she’s almost fifty, but she has still her glow. I can only imagine how gorgeous she was when she was my age.

“Yes ma’am” We answer in unison yet again and she nods and turns to me.

“Reign, I think your sleep will have to wait for a while”

“Hmmm?” I ask confused

“Alpha Damien demands your presence in his…” She suddenly breaks and swallows hard. “bedroom” She completes

“What?”

“You heard right, now come with me”

“Ma’am Cassandra, can I say no?”

“No Reign, it’s the Alpha’s order and you can’t disobey it, else you face consequences. Now, follow me” She instructs as she turns and leaves the bedroom, I shoot Tasha a nervous glance as I walk out and she just shrugs and blows me kisses.

My head is actually spinning like a merry-go-round I can’t help but wonder why Alpha Damien has summoned me in his bedroom.

His bedroom!
