Chapter 179
Hardin’S
POV
“They are going to pay for this!” I curse for the six hundredth time in annoyance as I ascend the stairs leading to my bedroom.
I couldn’t go to spend the night out without letting Reign know because I know what she is capable of doing.
The moment she wakes up and doesn’t find me by her side, she will take it upon herself to look for me everywhere in this entire pack regardless of how late it is. That is how fearless she is.
That is actually the last thing I want to happen especially as she is pregnant.
Those Alphas must never get to her, ever again!
I can’t wait for this battle to be over so all this fear and I securities will end. I actually feel bad for restricting her movements the way I do.
I know it’s for her own safety, but sometimes, I know she needs to go out and see the world, but I can’t.
She is the main reason why I’m fighting so hard to win this battle. So she can be free again.
I open the door to our bedroom and when I peep in, I am surprised to see her sitting upright on the bed with a book in her hand. She seems to be reading and that actually amused me. Lately eating and sleeping have been her favorite activities and now I’m just so overwhelmed to see her doing something different.
“Hey love” I greet casually as I step into the bedroom and close the door behind me.
As she raised her head up, she shoots me a sweet smile that causes my heart to beat abnormally.
I take long strides over to the bed where she’s seated and plant a wet gentle kiss on her forehead.
“How are you today?” I ask calmly and she shrugs her soldiers as she keeps smiling at me.
“Well, it was lazy, but okay”
“That’s nice. So, what have you eaten today p>
“Well, mum made me chicken casserole for lunch and spinach soup for dinner. I’m actually bloated right now. She is spoiling me with so much food”
“Lucky you”
“Lucky me indeed!” She says in a cheesy tone as she turns to focus on her book, but I gently seize it from her hand and put aside.
“Why did you do that p>
“There is something you have to know” I say in a very calm and composed tone that does the trick of making her stay still. She looks up at me with a worried look on her face and I’m tempted to smile, but I won’t. “What’s wrong babe?” She asks concerned.
“Both Ralph and Lance now know that the staff is fake”
“What?” She asks aghast as she gives me an intense look.
“Yeah, they do”
“How on earth did they find out”
“I don’t know”
“Who even told you that? He or she must be lying”
“Trust me, Kaylee didn’t lie. She was the same girl who told Aloha Damien about Alpha Lance’s plan to inject you with silver so you would lose our baby”
“Oh man! This is not good at all. Now that they know, they are going to strike back”
“And that is exactly what they plan to do. Kaylee told us they are planning a massacre babe. They want to gave all the women and children killed”
“Those bloody demons! How wicked of them! Babe we can’t let that happen! We… we… we have to do something ASAP!” She panics as she struggles to step down from the bed, but I hold her back. “Whoa! Babe calm down”
“I can’t calm down, our enemies are planning a massacre, you can’t tell me to calm down”
“Do you honestly think I would be here, relaxing if I had not sorted that out yet?” I ask with furrowed brows and she stays still as she looks at me.
“You already sorted things out p>
“Yes babe, everything is under control, I promise”
“What exactly did you do p>
“Well, we managed to get all the women and children, together with the elders into the underground accommodation. The men insisted on staying up and defending their pack, but yeah, the most vulnerable subjects are safe” “That is really cool love. I’m so glad you were able to do that so fast”
“Well, I wasn’t alone, I had Carl, Kol, Miguel and Alpha Damien to help me”
“Damien was here?” She asks in excitement and I nod.
“He is still here actually, just that he went to join Miguel and the other soldiers at the pack boundary”
“And what are they going to do there at this time of the night p>
“Uh… actually that’s what I’m here to tell you”
“Is everything alright p>
“yes babe, everything is fine, for now. You see, Kaylee told us that both Alphas will attack at dawn, so we are getting for anything at all that’s why we will all be spending the night in the woods.” “In the woods? Why the woods p>
“Because we believe that they can change their minds and decide to attack earlier. Babe, we don’t want them to escape us hands this time around.” I explain.
“I know but you guys sleeping out there the woods is too dangerous”
“We will be fine love. Remember we are no ordinary werewolves. We are Alpha’s, there’s a beta and a badass Elemental, we can very well handle this”
“Are you sure?” She asks almost in tears and I just bod my head.
She has no idea how much I hate this as well.
Not having her in my arms tonight is not something I find very pleasing.
Tonight is going to be one very long night!
“What happens tomorrow then p>
“Together with the soldiers, we are going to handle everything. Reign, plead I need you to stay here and be safe p>
“Sorry I won’t, I have to fight by your side”
“I know, but as it is now, you are pregnant p>
“Not dying!” She cuts me off and I go mute. “Babe, I am pregnant, not dying and I can very well fight. I have to do this for my people and you won’t stop me, so don’t waste your time” She says firmly and I just nod my head. We can go on with this argument all night and I’m not going to be able to convince her not to fight, so the only thing I can do right now is succumb to her desire to fight and hatch a plan to keep her indoors tomorrow. There is no way I’m going to let my pregnant mate get to the battle field.
Just no way!
“So, are you leaving already”
“Uh, yeah. I just came to tell you and wish you good night. Kol and I will be spending the night at the residential quarters”
“I don’t want you to go” She cries as she clings on my arm and I blink my eyes hard so that the tears in them should not spill down. I hate that I have to leave her here all alone.
“I hate to leave as well love, but I have to go”
“I understand. Please take good care of yourself, all of you, stay safe okay p>
“I will, I promise” I take her into my arms and engulf in a long warm hug, after which I plant a gentle kiss on her forehead and exit the bedroom.
Those Alphas had better come prepared tomorrow, because I am ready to slay!
