Chapter 32
Reign’S POV
I walk over to the servant cafeteria with a million thoughts swimming in my mind.
Not long after Alpha Hardin left my bedroom, the pack doctor showed up to have me checked up according to Alpha’s Hardin orders and that got me totally confused. I could see the anger burning in his eyes when we had that altercation in my bedroom and I was even scared that I was going to receive punishment for talking to him the way I did. Instead, he sent a pack doctor to have me checked up and right now, I am confused. Why is he so bipolar and unpredictable?
One minute he cares and the next minute he looks like he wants to murder me.
He definitely needs help.
I pick up my tray of food and as I try to locate an empty table where I can sit and eat my food peacefully, Anastasia and her crew show up out of now where and block my way. She has on a frown.
She’s always frowning and I kind feel sad for her. My mentor always told me that when you have the habit of frowning all the time, you get older quickly and that’s actually true for Anastasia. She’s actually my age mate, but she looks twenty-five and above. She looks way older than her age.
“What now Ana?” I ask rolling my eyes.
“I heard you tried to escape” She says with a smirk.
“You heard right”
“And that the guys had you tortured in the silver prison. How did that feel” She asks with a mockery smile and I smile at her too.
“Horrible, absolutely horrible, but things got better when Beta Miguel pleaded on my behalf to have me released and you know what?” I ask. “What p>
“The Alpha himself carried me in his arms, bridal style to my bedroom and made sure the pack doctor had me checked up. What an irony right?” “Liar!” She scolds in disbelieve.
“Then the very next day, all the guards who had me tortured were severely punished. What an interesting soap opera” I conclude with a smile and without warning, she hits my tray of food from my hands and everything throws down on the floor. Everyone else in the cafeteria turns around to look at us and I just bite my lips as I bend down to clean up the mess.
“Rise up Reign” Someone instructs and when I look up, I smile internally when I see Ma’am Sophia.
My knight in shining armor.
I quietly rise up and she steps by my side.
“Go get yourself another tray of food and for you Anastasia, you have two minutes to get this mess cleaned up.” She instructs firmly and immediately, Anastasia gets on her feet and starts cleaning up the mess while Ma’am Sophia and I get our good and walk over to a table for two.
“I thought I asked you not to show up here unless you are strong enough” Ma’am Sophia reprimands the moment we both settle down.
“Trust me Ma’am, I’m strong enough.
“How’s that even possible? You were kind of sick the last time I saw you”
“Alpha Hardin gave orders for the pack doctor to have me checked up yesterday, he prescribed a few medicines which I have drunk and now I’m perfectly okay.” I explain and when I lift my head to look at her, I burst into laughter on seeing the expression on her face.
She looks like she just saw a ghost
“Alpha Hardin did that for you?” She asks surprised and I just nod as I eat on.
“Trust me I’m just as shocked as you are, especially given the fact that we both had a heated argument in my room earlier that afternoon, when he left, I had thought he was going to send his guards to arrest and have me punished, but behold, the pack doctor showed and had me checked up. Totally unbelievable p>
“I most confess, you two are so adorable, I swear”
“Seriously Ma’am, what exactly is adorable about this whole issue p>
“You won’t get it, you just won’t get it Reign. Let it go”
“If you say” I sing as we both eat and from time to time, she just looks at me and smiles.
I really do wonder what’s running on her mind.
After breakfast which was actually fun with Ma’am Sophia, I report back to my post to commence my security duties.
Three weeks, just three more weeks and I will be free from here. I can’t wait for all this to be over.
“Reign!” A high pitched voice calls from behind and when I turn to look, I see Anastasia.
Sweet Moon goddess, this girl never stops, she never actually learns her lesson, does she? I just roll my eyes as I turn to face her.
“What now Ana” I ask in a bored tone and without warning, her palms connects with my cheeks, a sharp pain courses through my chest and I can feel the stinging sensation of the slap on my face.
I stare at her I shock and she gives a satisfactory smile.
“That’s for humiliating me earlier” She explains as she turns on her heels and walks away with her crew. I feel like going after her to fight back but I remember that I have a fractured arm to worry about, also I’m outnumbered and the last thing I want is for them to ambush me.
I’ll have more than enough time in the fire to have my revenge. I’ll just let them have their fun for now.
“Reign!” A guard calls as he approaches me and I immediately recognize him.
It’s Dylan, the male security leader and I wonder why he is here to see me.
“Good morning Sir” I greet with a slight bow.
“Good morning Reign, the Alpha requests for your presence in his office immediately!” He announces and I feel my heart begin to race.
Why does Alpha Hardin wants to see me so early in the morning?
Does he finally want to punish me?
Immediately, I take on my heels out of the security quarters and when I arrive at the big gate at his chambers I let out a heavy sigh of exasperation as I step in. I get into the house and I find my way to his office.
Once at the door, I knock gently and when I get a signal to get in, I gently creak the door open and take calculated steps into the office, shutting the door behind me.
He is seated behind his desk, looking all hot and handsome in his usual all black outfit and I can’t help but blush.
Reality check, that’s actually my mate. The hottest guy in this entire pack is my mate!
How exciting!
“Good morning Alpha Hardin” I greet calmly as I step in front of his desk.
“Look at me” He instructs calmly and I raise my head to look at him and immediately our eyes meet, he creases his brows as his eyes darken.
I know those eyes, once darkened, it can only mean one thing.
He’s mad.
“Why do you have finger prints on your left cheek p>
He asks in a deadly tone and I unconsciously touch the stinging cheek and flinch in pain.
“Nothing important, Alpha Hardin” I lie.
“Who did that to you p>
“Honestly Alpha, it’s not p>
“Answer me!” He cuts me off with a roar and I jump in fright.
“One of my colleagues”
“Names Reign! I want names!” He emphasizes’
“Anastasia and Giselle” I confess.
“That’s better. Take the rest of the day off”
“Hmmm p>
“Hmmm?” He repeats with a creased brows and I just bow down my head.
“Thank you Alpha “
“You may leave” He instructs and I hastily walk out of his Sulphur steam-filled atmosphere to where I can actually breathe fresh oxygen.
Someone please tell me what this Alpha is up to. Why the hell did he give me the entire day off and why was he concerned about who hit me. I thought he wanted me to suffer so why does he care? What exactly is the color of his problem?
