Chapter 171
Hardin’S POV
After the very long and entertaining conversation we all had at the hospital, we took Reign home and right now she is resting in my bedroom.
It’s been a few days since I had her in my arms and tonight…
Oh I cannot wait for tonight.
I close the door and walk ho to my office where Alpha Damien is waiting for me. I have the thank him personally for helping me out with this.
“You look elated” He comments the moment I walk into the office and I smile.
“Who wouldn’t? I mean I’ve got my pregnant mate sleeping on my bed once more, I have every right to be elated”
“of course you do”
I stride over the wine bar where I take out a bottle of scotch and serve in two glasses.
Until today I still haven’t been able to figure out the bond between men and drinks.
When we are happy, we drink, when we are sad or angry or devastated or disappointed, we still drink.
No matter what is we are going through, we still drink.
Fascinating!
“Let’s have a few shots, shall we?” I offer.
“Sure” He joins me at the win bar and we both sit on the stools and drink our shots in a single go.
I close my eyes and breath hard as the scotch burns down my throat into my stomach and the taste it leaves on my tongue only makes me crave for more.
“You ever wondered why the Moon goddess created this war in the first place?”
“To be honest, it has never made sense to me, but what can I say? The moon goddess knows all”
“You know sometimes I wish it didn’t fall in my generation, but then I reflect on the possibly that it could have been in my son’s reign of my grandson or my other generations and I’m like, Nah, I’m glad it’s in my reign. I wouldn’t want any of my offspring to go through this shit”
“Well, it’s a good thing they won’t. All you have to do is win this battle so they have a lot of time to flex and prepare the next generations for the next war”
“Starting from my son, I’m going to get make him understand that this is not a myth. I am going to pass this warning down to as many generations as I can so that when the time comes, they will not be surprised and unprepared as I was.”
“Yeah, that is true.”
“I like your style Alpha Damien”
“And what’s there about my style that you like?”
“You are the kind of man whom they call, “one in a million”. The only man I have met who isn’t power hungry. I must confess that I’m impressed by your decision to not get involved in this war.”
“Alpha Hardin, like I said before, I very much like my peace and I’m cool with the power I have. I don’t want any more of it. It’s true that power is a virtue, but I choose my virtues and power isn’t one of them”
“Cool.”
“You know when I first heard that the Elemental war had begun, I promised myself I wasn’t going to get involved, but right now I have changed my mind” He explains as he pours himself another shot of scotch and gulps down in a go. “I want to fight by your side Alpha Hardin. I want to help you win this battle” He announces and I look at him in awe.
“You really want to do that?”
“Yeah”
“You do know that when Alpha Lance finds out about this he us going to consider you as an enemy and your pack will be liable to frequent attacks”
“I really do not give a fuck if Alpha Lance considers me as his worst enemy. I loathe the man and the last thing I want us for him to become Paramount Alpha, so I will do everything in my power to bring him down!” He explains firmly and I nod my head with a smile plastered at the side of my lips.
Just me and my guys can single handedly deal with both Alpha Lance and Alpha Ralph, but it doesn’t bite to have an extra helping hand.
The Blue Moon Pack is the second largest Pack in the world. It has well trained and organized soldiers and if they join us in this war, it is going to be a blast.
Both Alpha Lance and Ralph will stand no chance against us.
“To be very honest Alpha Damien, I don’t know where to start thanking you right now. First you saved the life of my unborn child and succeeded in tricking those bad guys into letting his mother go and right now you want to assist me in this battle. I honestly don’t know what I did to deserve you trust and loyalty”
“You are a good man and also I’m doing this for Reign and the future Paramount Alpha. They are worth fighting for”
“Thank you very much.”
“You are welcome”
“Right now we have the be on high alert and you also need to be very careful because sooner or later, those Alphas will find out you tricked them and the will come after you. I want you to increase the security at your boundaries and be on high alert. They might attack you any time soon”
“And I will be ready for them. Trust me”
“I also know once they find out, the will do all they can to get Reign again.”
“They are only going to get her in their dreams. This war is almost over any way. The earlier the accept their defeat and surrender, the better.”
“Those two Alphas I know will never swallow their prides and do that. The will rather die than surrender to me”
“Then I guess they are very well prepared to die, because the moment we meet at the battle field, I will show no mercy. That I swear, I will rip them all apart”
“I intend to do just that as well”
“Good. That said, I best be on my way before Tasha locks me out.” He announces and I chuckle as we both step down from the stool.
“When you go back home, do well to her tell her she is welcome to come and spend some time with her friend anytime she pleases”
“Will do just that”
“I will see you outside”
As we both go outside, I do not seize from thanking him for all what he just did. We would not be here without him.
He is such a good man.
When Alpha Damian leaves, I immediately find my way back to my bedroom to go and meet Reign.
She has been away for days and now that she is here, I don’t know if I should just eat her already.
I’m extremely excited to have her back and I swear I’m never going to let her out of my side.
Those savages are never going to lay their hands in her again.
I walk into the bedroom and meet her sitting in the bed, wide awake and reading a book.
Her thick black hair is glittering from a distance and the manner in which it falls on her back turns totally turns me on.
Reign is gorgeous.
I swear there is no girl in this world who is as gorgeous as she is.
I could stare at her face all day without batting an eyelid.
“Babe” I call and she looks up at me. I walk over to the bed and sit by her side as I plant a soft kiss on her forehead.
Yeah, she looks pregnant.
She has put on some weight and right now every part of her body is glowing.
She looks like a blooming morning rose and I just feel like eating her up right now.
“Hi” She greets as she puts the book away and turns to face me completely. “Did Damien leave already?”
“Yes he did and guess what?”
“What?”
“I asked him to tell Tasha to visit soon”
“You did?” She asks surprised.
“Yes I did”
“Thank you do much babe”
“It’s nothing love. All I want usy for you recover from this as soon as possible and I know a friend like Tasha will help a lot”
“That was so thoughtful of you. Thank you so much”
“You are welcome” I say staring into her big blue eyes.
She has her very sweet and charming smile on but I can see in her yes that there is something she is not telling
There something bothering her and I need to find out right now.
The last thing I want right now is for her to be bothered.
“Babe, you don’t look very happy, what’s wrong?”
“I’m happy”
“No you are not. Don’t lie to me” I warn with all seriousness and she bows her head down and plays with her fingers. “Tell me love, what’s troubling you”
“I’m … I’m juts feeling very guilty”
“And why exactly do you feel guilty?”
“If I wasn’t so stubborn and self centered, I would not have been abducted in the first place. I would not have out you through all this trouble.” She explains sadly.
Honestly, I’m a bit mad at her for sneaking out of the castle the way she did, but that really doesn’t matter anymore now that she is fine.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“Well, if I were to be honest with you, you sneaking out in your own wasn’t really the smartest thing to do. It really did piss me off”
“I’m so sorry babe, I promise to be more obedient henceforth. I’m to do just as you instruct and I won’t be stubborn anymore.”
“I don’t rereallmind you being stubborn. I mean, it’s fun and I like the stubborn side of you, but love, please don’t be stubborn about very serious stuff like this. Your security is not something to joke with”
“I know”
“Come on now, it’s okay the most important thing is that you are back home safe and sound”
“I was so scared Hardin. When Alpha Lance gave me those shots, all I could think of was how you were never going to forgive me for losing our baby. I was so scared” She cries and I just take her into my arms and gently strike her hair.
“Reign” I can softly.
“Yes Hardin”
“I want you to know something. I want you to know that I love you so much. So much and nothing in this world can make me hate you. Even if you did lose this baby, I would never have hated you. Yes I would have been a bit disappointed, but I would definitely not hate you. No are my mate love. It is impossible for me to hate you”
“I honestly don’t know what I did to deserve you. I have been nothing but a stubborn Luna from the beginning, but you have never given up on me. Thank you do much”
“You don’t gave to thank me for anything love. It is my duty to spoil you, so just sit back, relax and let me do that”
“You know what?”
“What?”
“I fear you are going to spoil this child I’m carrying. You are too nice”
“Don’t be fooled by my sweet moves love, I can be very strict if I want to be. My father did not spoil me, I am definitely not going to spoil my own child”
“Oh yeah?” She asks a creased brow and I smile as I kiss her tummy.
Right now there is a little bulge and as I place my hand on It, I can feel heart beat accelerate.
This is magical. I can’t wait for the day I’ll hold him in my arms.
“If there’s one thing I know for sure, it is the fact that you are going to be the best father in the entire world”
“Now you can say that again.” I give her a gentle or kiss on the lips. “Do you know what I want right now?” I ask with a husky voice.
“I don’t think so”
“Do you want to know what I want right now?”
“Yes I do”
“I want to strip you off these clothes you have on right now and kiss every part of your gorgeous body and after that, I want to make love to you like never before. How does that sound?”
“Perfect!”
“Does that mean I have permission to carry on?”
“Yes you do”
A cocky smile appears on my face as I toss my shoes off my feet and lean closer to her.
Tonight is going to be a blast!
