THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Hardin’S POV

The party was mind-blowing!

Within such a short time, Kol, Miguel and Megan were able to organize a very classy party at the castle where they invited all the head officials of the pack to come and celebrate with us.

The general party is still to be organized and that will be even more mind-blowing.

I have never received hugs in my life as much as I did today and right now my shoulders hurt as a result of the numerous taps the men kept landing on them.

Reign was quite exhausted as well and right now she is asleep in my bedroom. I was just about to go and join her when Leonard told me there’s something important we need to discuss about. He said it’s another revelation and right now my heart is racing in my chest.

Revelations from the moon goddess are always mind-blowing and one needs to always be prepared for them mentally.

“Hardin” Mum calls as I start ascending the flight of stairs.

I stop on my tracks and turn to face her.

“Yes mum”

“I have been busy attending to guests all day, I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you” She explains as she walks over to me and I just smile.

“Mum, that’s no big deal…”

“It is sweetheart…” Her voice is shaky and I can see tears shimmering in her eyes as she steps in front of me and takes my hands in hers.

“A few years ago I had you in my arms. You were so small, yet you cried so loudly. So adorable and your father was so proud to have brought you into this world. All those times we would reprimand you, sometimes whoop your ass for doing something bad, it feels just like it happened yesterday. You have grown so fast Hardin an I’m still finding it hard to believe that you are going to be after soon. My little boy is soon going to be a father” She cries and I take her into my arms.

“Oh mum, please don’t cry. You are going to make me cry”

“I’m sorry son, I’m just so happy that I cannot contain my tears. Mummy is so proud of you”

“Thank you mummy. I’m happy I made you proud.”

“Wherever your father is, he must be so proud of you!” She says and I just nod my head and I brush off the lone tear that just escaped from my left eye.

“Alright then, go up and attend your meeting. That’s all I wanted to say”

“Goodnight mum”

“Good night” She kisses my forehead and I take the staircase leading to my chambers with a wide smile plastered on my face.

I cannot believe I’m going to be a father soon. I can still very well remember all the lashings I got from my father, the never ending conscience talk sessions and grounding.

Ahh!

I pray I become a good dad like my dad. Even better if I may add.

When I get to the door of my office, I open it and walk in only to be welcomed by a round of applause from Kol, Miguel, Carl and Mr. Leonard.

“Oh guys, cut it already”

“Look who is shy” Kol taunts me.

“Oh please, I’m not shy”

“You are actually blushing bro!”

“Look, I’m done with all of you!”

“Honestly bro, I’m happy for you”

“Thank you Miguel”

“I don’t know how to feel about you getting my baby sister pregnant, but again, you are the freaking Alpha, so it’s okay” Carl explains and we all laugh.

“I think that is enough fun for now, let’s get to business” Mr. Leonard announces.

“Oh boy, the moon goddess and her revelations”

“This one has to be the most threatening one ever”

“Please just tell us already Uncle Leonard”

“It was revealed to me that once Luna Reign has thisbaby, the war is over. We automatically win, our pack gets edified and Alpha Hardin stays as the Paramount Alpha and that title will be passed down to his generations until the next millennium”

“Holy moly!” I exclaim I shock

“That is just… crazy!” That’s Carl.

“Is anyone thinking what I’m thinking?” Miguel asks.

“Both Alpha Ralph and Alpha Lance will do everything in their power to get Reign and make her lose that baby. That is what you are thinking” Kol explains.

“Exactly!” Miguel confirms

“I won’t let that happen!”

“None of us will, but we can’t just say this with our mouths and let it be. We have to device strategies to guard her more”

“She is not going to leave this castle until she gives birth” I say.

“And the security is not only doubling, it’s going quadruple! I’m going to talk with Dylan about that”

“Oh my God, this is just the height of it right now. It’s actually unfair to get my pup and Luna involved in all this. Right now I can’t even think straight. Guys I would go crazy if anything happens to any of them” I lament in frustration.

“Hardin, stop lamenting about something that is never going to happen. Minus this war and the threat on Reign and the baby’s life, she is our Luna and she is carrying our future Alpha, we will put our lives on the line for her. We have got her covered”

“Thanks guys”

“There is no need for you to thank us, it is our duty to protect our Luna”

“What I need you to do is to talk to Luna and tell her about the dangers out there. She could be very stubborn and that would not be good for all of us, including her. So I need you to try to convince her to quit going for training and walks. She needs to stay indoors throughout this pregnancy”

“I will do just that Mr. Leonard”

“That’s good then”

“So, can I leave now?” I ask with raised brows and they look at me like I just said something bad. “Did I say something inappropriate?”

“Bruh! The meeting isn’t over yet and you want to leave?”

“I have nothing else to say or, do you have anything to say”

“Don’t mind them Hardin, you can go to bed now. They are just jealous” Mr. Leonard defends me.

“Ugh! Jealous my ass”

“Yeah Whatever. I’m out of here” I walk out of the office and go over to my bedroom which happens to be just a few doors away.

I walk into the bedroom and I’m surprised to see Reign awake and she’s sitting by her mirror stand, brushing her smooth black hair.

I love this girl.

“Reign” I call as I walk over to her and when I’m close, I lean closer from behind behind and trail tantalizing kisses down her neck.

“That’s ticklish” she cries within hiccups of laughter and I stop before she can choke on her saliva.

“Since when did neck kisses become ticklish?”

“Since now”

“Why are you up?”

“Got tired of sleeping, just wanted to relax for a bit”

“How do you feel?”

“Differently, I can feel him growing fast in me. He’s going to be one very active guy”

“Come here” I stoop down and carry her bridal style in my arms.

“What are you doing?” She asks and I don’t reply.

I quietly walk over to the bed and carefully place her on it.

“Why are you bringing me back here?”

“Because we need to talk about something very disturbing,” I announce ask take off my shoes and lay on the bed beside her.

“What’s wrong babe?”

“Nothing, just another revelation that is threatening to mess up my sanity” A heavy sigh of frustration follows that statement and she inches close to me.

“What was it about?” She asks, concerned and I shake my head.

I hate this.

“Reign, the other packs already know about your pregnancy and when I say the other packs, I’m talking about The East End and the Far North Packs”

“You make it sound like it’s a bad thing that they know”

“Because it is. Babe it is a very bad thing that they know”

“Hardin you are getting me worked up. What’s wrong?”

“It was revealed to your uncle Leonard that once you give birth to this baby alive, the war is over and we automatically win. As in, our pack gets edified and I remain the Paramount Alpha for the rest of my reign.”

“Well, that sounds to me like a good thing”

“Love, it is a good thing, but right now our enemies know about this and they will do all they can to stop that from happening. They know the birth of this child will be their doom and they will do all they can to stop that from happening”

“As in they will do all they can to kill this baby I’m carrying”

“Exactly”

“No!” She cries as she crawls into arms and I cuddle her.

This is the fear I wanted to have in her before giving her restrictions.

My Reign will never adhere to restrictions unless she sees red lights.

“Hardin I don’t want anything to happen to our baby, please don’t let anything happen to him” She cries.

“I promise I won’t let anything happen to him, but you have to help me do that”

“How can I help?”

“Babe, I know you like going for training, but that has to stop right now, not for your safety, but for that of the baby too. Right now you are pregnant and you are way more fragile than you can ever imagine. You need to take very good care of yourself and avoid strenuous activities”

“I’m going to get lazy!”

“You can always just do light exercise around the castle.”

“Ugh Hardin, you have finally gotten what you wanted, haven’t you”

“Come on babe, this about your safety, nothing else”

“I know, I was just messing with you”

“Okay then. Also babe, please if you have to go anywhere, let me know so I can send someone trustworthy to go with you”

“Will that really be necessary?”

“Reign. This is way more serious than you can ever imagine. You are the Luna of this pack and as it is now, you are carrying their future Alpha. If something happens to you, they are not going to take it easy on me. I have to do everything in my power to make sure you are safe and I can’t do that if you do not cooperate with me.”Does that mean I don’t have freedom anymore. Everywhere I go, there will be these weird men following me?”

“Yes there will be guards, that doesn’t mean you won’t have you freedom”

“Babe, isn’t there any other way out?”

“I hate to do this to you, but right now, my hands are tight. We have to take all these measures to make sure that you are safe. We have to do this love”

“Fine! I get it”

“Please don’t be mad at me?”

“I’m not mad at you. I’m just mad at this entire battle, I’m at the people who want to harm our unborn child. How can they be so mean?”

“A man will do anything for power, don’t be surprised”

“Can we please stop talking about those mean guys?”

“Of course. What did you have for dinner?”

“Mum made me a chicken casserole. It was delicious. She is so excited about this pregnancy”

“Yes she is. She is going to be one badass grandma to our son”

“Babe”

“Yes love”

“Can I ask you a question?”

“Yeah go ahead.”

“What if it’s not a boy?”

“Nah, that is impossible, it’s a boy”

“Just what if it isn’t?”

“Well then, that will be miracle”

“Is that going to be a problem?”

“What kind of problem?”

“I mean, you know, the Alpha successor stuff”

“Reign you think too much. There’s going to be no sort of problem. You are going to bring forth our baby boy and we are to be one happy family, nothing else”

“That is my ultimate wish”

“And your wish has been granted sweetheart” I kiss her forehead and pull her closer to me.

I love the feeling of her soft warm body against mine. It turns me on in all the right places.

“Babe,” She calls with a calm voice.

“Yes love”

“I want you to make love to me”

I swear the moment those words come out from her mouth, I almost choke on my saliva. I look down at her in awe as I swallow hard.

What exactly is this baby doing to her?

“Is that what you want?”

“Yeah”

“Alright then, I will give you what you want.”

I can only hope that I don’t lose control and get too hard on her because as it is now, she is pregnant and very fragile as well.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
