Chapter 45
Reign’S POV
“Good morning Dylan” I greet once I get to my post and meet Dylan lying on one of the chairs.
He’s the male guard supervisor and I actually feel sorry for him at times. He’s always on the move and I can’t help but wonder if he ever gets to spend time with his family. He’s always around the castle, answering to Alpha Hardin’s every call and running all his errands.
He seriously deserves better.
“Good morning Reign” He greets as he rushes up from the chair and smiles at me. That actually takes me off guard.
It’s strange to see a guard smile, let alone their leader.
I reciprocate the smile with an awkward one.
“How was your night?” He asks.
“It was okay” I say with a careless shrug and he just nods as he rises from his seat.
“That’s nice to hear. I’ll just go ahead” He says as he turns to leave.
“Dylan” I call back and he turns to face me.
“Yes Reign”
“You’re doing a great job, your parents must be proud of you” I compliment and he smiles and nods.
“It has always been my dream to protect my pack with all my heart p>
“Cool”
“And He says as he takes a few steps closer to me. “Whatever it is you are doing to Alpha Hardin He smiles. “Keep it up. It’s fun to watch him act the way he does”
“I… don’t think I understand you”
“You have captured the Alpha’s mind but he doesn’t want to accept it and it’s actually fun though, I like the way you bring out the childishness and naughtiness and all the qualities of a man in him. Keep it up” Then he turns around and walks away before I can utter a word.
The only thing that’s swimming on my mind right now is confusion.
What the hell did he just say?
Minutes pass and my other colleagues join me at the post and Anastasia happens to be one of them. These days, she can’t bully me so the only thing she does is look at me like she wants to suddenly vanish into thin air and I’m doing a good job at ignoring her.
I don’t have the strength to pick fights with her. Her negative energy is the last thing I want to encounter.
“Look who we have here” A familiar voice sings from behind and I turn around to look and I’m intrigued to see Beta Miguel standing before me, with a very hot smile plastered on his lips. His mate is one very lucky girl.
“Beta Miguel!” I call in surprise as I rise up from the chair. “Good morning, what a pleasant surprise” I greet in excitement.
“Good morning. I though we already had this talk about you calling me Beta.” He reprimands with a frown. “Miguel will do”
“I’m sorry, that skipped my mind. Miguel!” I correct myself and he smiles.
“That’s better p>
“So, what brings you here p>
“Well, I came to check on my favorite Luna and know how she’s faring”
“You won’t stop calling me that, will you p>
“Nope” He says popping the “p” “I won’t stop because you are my Luna”
“If Alpha Hardin hears you calling me Luna, you are going to be in big trouble”
“He won’t do anything to me, because he very well knows I’m right, you are our Luna p>
“You’re stubborn Miguel”
“Oh, you have no idea!” He says with a chuckle. “There’s something for you” He gives me a plastic which I take wholeheartedly. “Thank you” I thank as I open and peep into it and it’s filled with apples.
“Wow! Apples. My actual favorite. You got all these for me p>
“No, I didn’t” He says shaking his head as he smiles.
I look up at him confused.
“You did not p>
“Yeah”
“Then who did p>
“So, I mentioned to Alpha Hardin that I’m coming to check on you and he gave me these to bring to you. He said he took your apple the other time.” “Oh yeah, he did. I just didn’t think he was going to replace it.” I say in surprise.
I actually cannot believe that Alpha Hardin sent me apples. What exactly is he playing at?
“Why won’t he? When you got him whipped p>
“Got him what?” I ask confused and he just chuckles.
“You don’t know what I mean by “you got him whipped?” He asks surprised and shake my head.
“No I don’t”
“Sweet Moon goddess, Luna, your Innocence is overwhelming. Alpha Hardin has no idea what he is missing out on” “Now you got me more confused”
“Forget about what I just said. Do you know that Alpha Hardin had eaten an apple before that day?” “That can’t be true”
“I’ve know him all me life Luna, I know all his deepest secrets, him likes, his dislikes, his allergies. I know him inside out, like wise he does me” “Wow p>
“Yeah, and I’m not bluffing when I say he had never eaten an apple before that day. He hated apples p>
“Then what make him eat that apply p>
“Because he took it from your hand, you made him eat that apple and to tell you what, he ate it all, all of it and I just sat there, looking at him shocked. You are his medicine, Luna” “No I’m not! He hates me”
“No-no! He doesn’t hate you. He’s just confused and a bit frustrated about this whole issue. He loves you to bits, he just doesn’t want to accept it” He explains in a hush voice and I just shake my head in disagreement.
“If he did, he wouldn’t be treating me like this”
“Luna, even I can’t understand why he’s treating you this way, but I know one thing. Alpha doesn’t hate you, it’s not in his ability to hate you. Even if wanted to, he can’t.” He says as he gives me a gentle stroke on my hair. “It’s just a matter of time and all of this is going to make sense to you” Then he turns on his heels and walks away.
That is exactly what Ma’am Sophia said to me the other day, but I won’t let any of that get to me. I won’t let their words make me build hopes that will later crumble.
Alpha Hardin despises me and that’s what I will keep on my mind until the day he tells me other wise.
I quietly put the plastic on the table and take out one apple from it and smile.
Alpha Hardin actually sent these for me. How sweet of him.
I look around only to see the other girls glaring at me, including Anastasia.
“I would have shared with you girls, but you might catch being murderers because I’ve touched it, and I know you won’t want that” I say as I make myself comfortable on the nearby couch and begin to eat the apple. My very bipolar mate cares about me after all.
