THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

MIGUEL’S POV

Hardin is indeed a strong man. If I were in his shoes, I swear I would have gone crazy by now.

Ever since the guy found his mate, he has not had peace.

First was the fact that he had to reject her to be with her sister, then the sister died that same night and all allegations pointed to his rejected mate.

He spent an entire month torturing her for a crime she did not commit and when he later realized himself, he tried to win her over, which was of course, not an easy battle.

When he finally won her over, the whole war issue began and since then, each day of their lives came with its own drama. This is the second time she has been detained by the enemy and I to be honest, if I were the one, I wouldn’t be as calm as he is right now.

Hardin is indeed a true born King because, in spite of all that’s going on, despite the fact that his mate who happens to be the most important person in his life, is missing, he hasn’t for once relented his efforts in looking after the pack. He still runs his day to day activities like everything is under control and he is still as kind and caring to his subjects, especially the pups and Shewolves as always.

He never lets his anger or bad circumstances get the better of him and that is the characteristic of a good king.

“Miguel” Leonard calls and I snap out of my thoughts and turn to face him.

“Yes…”

“Go after Alpha Hardin, make sure he does nothing out of character”

“I’m on it” I quickly dash out of the office and make my way to his private training ground where I meet him seated on the floor at the center, staring at nothing in particular.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

I had three places on my mind to look for him as I was walking out of that office. In here, the garden or the stream. Those are the three places in this entire pack you could find Alpha Hardin when he is distressed.

I take unrushed steps towards him and when I’m close, I sit by his side and look ahead without uttering a single word.

“What do you think are the criteria the Moon goddess uses to choose her Alpha lineage?” He suddenly asks calmly and I smile.

I like the fact that he is always ready to share his problems with me no matter how tough they are.

“Well, I would like to say she looks at a family with brave, kind hearted and respectful men, but then there’s Alpha Lance and his ancestors, so I’d say it’s a mystery that is yet to be uncovered” I explain and he chuckles.

“Do you think being a good Alpha pays positively?”

“I don’t think, I know it pays. Just look at you, you are the Paramount Alpha, your pack is the most powerful, richest and most prosperous pack in the world and all that’s because you a good man and a great ruler. Even your ancestors were the same. So yeah, I think being a good Alpha pays positively.”

“Then what About Alpha Lance? We all know he’s a bastard. He’s cruel, tyrannical and heartless. He treats the poor like they don’t deserve to live and enslaves their children, yet he is also very powerful and prosperous, how can you explain that?”

“All of that is only temporary, have you ever heard about Karma?”

“I don’t think Karma alone dealing with such people gives us enough justice.” He stops talking and exhales heavily. “Look at me, yeah I know I’ve made some grave mistakes, I accused and punished my mate for something she did not do, but I realized myself and I made things right with her. Apart from that I don’t know what else I did to deserve all this. This is a war and everyone else is involved in it. Every Alpha, every other pack is involved in it, but it seems like it’s weighing on my side. If a pack has to be ambushed, it’s mine, if pups have to be hurt and kidnapped, it’ll be mine, if a Luna has to be abducted and held hostage, it’ll be my Luna. All the bad things keep happening to me. What exactly did I do to deserve all this? I honestly do not think I deserve all this”

“Bro, honestly you don’t, but I think you are forgetting something.”

“And what could that be?”

“Remember you are the Paramount Alpha. As it is now you have the greatest powers and the upper hand in this battle and that alone makes you the main target. They won’t go attacking other packs, they will come here because they know you are their biggest fear. You are their worst nightmare.”

“Then why won’t they just face me and leave Reign alone?”

“Because they know how dear she is to you. They know she is your greatest weakness and that you will do everything in your power to save her whenever they take her. They are setting traps for you”

“Bloody bastards!” He curses bitterly and I chuckle in amusement.

“Remember that day you told me she looked at you straight in the eye and ordered you out of your bedroom?” I ask with a light chuckle.

“Shit! I cringe every time I remember that scene”

“How about the day she called you a hypocrite?”

“That scene as well”

“Hardin, most Shewolves have the tendency of being whining bitches, but definitely not Reign. She’s bold, she’s fierce and she’s not afraid of anyone. I can bet on my life that she’s giving everyone over there a hard time and I pity whoever goes close to her, he or she won’t leave without a broken nose. I know exactly what she is capable of doing” I explain and he laughs hard as he looks at me. “Yeah, just so you could know, she gave Kol a broken nose and Kol told me she did the same with Alpha Lance. So calm down, she is holding up just well and I believe that the two of them are going to hatch a plan and get out of there. You need not worry”

“I just… I just really miss her. Like very very much. I swear I do”

“I know and it wouldn’t be normal if you don’t miss her instead. All I beg of you is that you don’t do anything outrageous. Don’t try to go and find her without my knowledge. I am your Beta and it is my responsibility to support you, to keep you safe, so please, make my job easy by telling me every move you intend to make” I plead from the depth of my heart and he looks at me and smiles.

“I’m sorry I made a statement to myself the other day that Kol is my only brother. He isn’t. You are my brother Miguel and I bless the Moon goddess for bringing you into my life. On a very serious note, I don’t know what I will do without you by my side”

“Nothing, absolutely nothing. You can’t survive this crazy world without me. You just can’t. Come here.”

I engulf him in a brotherly hug and gently pat his back.

I was born for this. To serve him, comfort him in times of trouble, protect him from all harm and stand by him in every situation.

I don’t intend to quit anytime soon.
