Chapter 83
Reign’S POV
“Nigel is going to be my mate!” Melissa states
“No! He’s going to be my mate!” Kylie argues.
“He always looks at me and smiles!”
“Oh yeah? He took me out for lunch yesterday!”
“Liar!”
“I’m not lying!”
I’m totally speechless as I watch both Melissa and Kylie argue about this Nigel guy and it’s really cute.
The guy must be an eye candy.
“Reign” Kylie calls as she turns to face me.
“Yes Kylie”
“If a guy takes one girl out for lunch and then just smiles at the other, which of the girls do you think he is in love with?” Kylie asks with all seriousness and I just look at her confused.
What do I know about boys and love? I was locked up for eighteen years and even when I was freed, I have done nothing but suffered in the hands of the man that was supposed to love me.
I know nothing about boys and love.
“Uh … Kylie, I know nothing about stuff like that. I was locked up for eighteen years, remember?”
“I know, but logically, what can you make out of it?”
“Well, I think the guy loves the girl he took out for lunch”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Ahah!” She screams in excitement as a wide smile appears on her face. “Melissa I’ve told you time and again, Nigel is going to be my mate, not yours!”
“Reign there’s no way for to predict ones mate. That is impossible!” I contradict.
“But he likes me”
“He doesn’t like you dummy, he likes me!”
They both start arguing again and I just laugh.
“Sad thing is, his real mate is out there chilling and you girls are here killing each other. Calm down”
“But I like him”
“Kylie, one thing for sure is that your mate is an Alpha, there’s no denying that”
“But I don’t want an Alpha, I want Nigel!”
“Are you sure about that? Don’t you want to be Luna? Don’t you want to be queen of an entire pack? Have the power to rule?” I ask with a creased brow and she goes mute. “Look here dear, the Moon goddess knows exactly who is best for you and she is going to send just that person, so stop fighting with Melissa over Nigel. Your mate is an actual Alpha!”
“That means Nigel is mine, so Kylie, quit having all these fantasies and start preparing yourself on how to rule”
“And what makes you think you can’t be a Luna too?” I ask with a raised brow.
“The Moon goddess knows better than to not make Nigel my mate.” He says with a lot of seriousness that takes me aback.
Melissa is just as strong willed and sassy Asher sister Megan.
“Oh… okay Ma’am”
I give up!
“Reign” Kylie calls and I turn to face her.
“You are never leaving again, right?”
“Well, I don’t really know about that”
“Please don’t go away. If you do, I will be sad and Hardin is going to lock himself up in your bedroom and cry all day like he did the last time you left”
“He did that?” I ask shocked and she nods.
“Wow!” I exclaim in surprise as I nod my head. This guy is damn serious.
“Hardin loves you” That’s Melissa. “And I can bet on my life that he truly regrets everything he ever did to you. Can’t you find it in your heart to forgive him?”
“Uh… well..” I am caught off by the sound of the door opening. We all look up and see Hardin walking in, looking devastated.
What exactly happened?
“Kylie, Melissa, please excuse us, will you?”
“Of course, come on Mel” Kylie urges Melissa and they both walk out of the bedroom. I just stay seated on my bed, wondering how it’s possible that he can still come to my room after what just happened.
Memories of the kiss we shared a while ago flood my mind and you have no idea how much I’m trying to hold myself from blushing right now.
It was spectacular and under normal circumstances, I would like us to have share another very passionate kiss, or even more, but right now, I don’t think so.
I’m damn mad at him and I won’t let him get to me. He can’t just get into my heart by making a few romantic gestures, he hurt me in the cruelest manner and I will never forgive him for that.
That kiss was the first and the last.
First and the last, I tell you.
“I thought I told you to get out”
“You did” He says as he walks closer.
“Then why are you here?”
“You said to get out, not to get out and never return love”
“Oh…”
“Yeah”
“My bad then, next time I’ll remember to add the last four words”
“Even that won’t stop me from coming to see you love, nothing can stop me from coming to see you” He says in a husky voice as he takes my hands in his and kisses them. I instantly seize hands from his hold and cross my arms over my breasts and give him a stern look.
“Why exactly are you here?”
“To see you. What were you discussing with the girls?”
“Nothing that concerns you”
“I think it does. These two girls have a very complicated relationship and I hate it. I just want to find a clue about anything that’s making them fight”
“If I tell you, you have to promise me that you won’t tell them I told you”
“I swear I won’t”
“Well, there is this guy called Nigel that they both seem to like. He takes Kylie out for Lunch and smiles at Melissa” I explain and he chuckles, his cute dimples are revealed and I kind of admire them.
What’s the word for a man with a cute face and an extremely hot body?
Well, let’s just go with Adonis.
He is an Adonis.
“So it’s about a guy after all”
“Yeah, they keep arguing about whose mate he is going to be and it’s adorable.”
“There’s nothing adorable about two sisters fighting over a guy”
“Ugh! It’s not as terrible as you make it seem”
“They fought at the training ground the other day”
“And Kylie fought a rogue that was going after Melissa just a few days later. Stuff like this are bound to happen between teenage girls and I know they will eventually grow out of it. I wish I actually experienced this, it’s really adorable to watch them say with a confidence that Nigel is going to be their mate”
“Did you ever fantasize about meeting me?”
“Every night” I reply as I look into his deep brown eyes.
“I was with your father a while ago”
” I honestly don’t care about that, I just wish you could order for him to be executed”
“Well your wish just came true” He announces and my eyes open wide.
“What do you mean by that?”
“He will be executed tomorrow at noon before the elderly pack members”
“Oh…”
“We finally found a prove to confirm that he was the one who killed your sister, Wilma”
“What?” I ask in shock. Eyes and mouth wide open. My heart starts throbbing hard in my chest and I can feel my body heat up instantly.
Dad can’t kill Wilma. That can’t be true!
“Trust me, I was just as shocked when I found out.”
“That can’t be true. A father can’t possibly kill his own daughter. No!”
“I didn’t want to believe it either love, but I found the prove myself. I planned to get a scratch from him which I did and it matched those that were seen on Wilma’s body. He killed your sister Wilma” He explains and I just keep staring at him in awe.
“Why would dad possibly want to kill Reign?”
“That’s the part that didn’t make any sense to me, but what I got to understand was that, he hates my entire family and he did all this just so I could not get to you” He explains and I get all the more confused, but I just shake my head.
“This is all messed up and I’m not going to feel sorry for anybody. Wilma is a backstabber, she deserved what happened to her and for my dad I hope he never finds peace even after he dies.” I swear bitterly and I’m taken aback when Hardin suddenly gets on his knees before me. All I can see is tears and thousand different sorrowful emotions his eyes as he creeps towards.
This man and romantic gestures!!!!
“Reign, I know I have wronged you in every way possible, I know I have no right to do this but I’m still going to do it anyway. My love, I’m sorry for everything I put you through. I was carried away by anger, I was stupid and I didn’t know what I was doing, but now that I have realized myself, I’m sorry…”
Tears come streaming down his cheeks ad he bows his head on my laps cries bitterly.
You ever seen a grown man cry so hard that he gets to hiccup? You are going to cry as well.
“Please forgive me. I promise to do right by you henceforth, I promise to be a better person, please my love, just give me one chance to prove to you that I regret my actions, just give me one chance to prove how much I love you, please” He begs as he cries harder and I just shake my head and gently lift his head up from laps and hold his drenched face in my palms.
I can see it in his eyes that he means every word he just said and I know this is the time for me to forgive him and I have actually forgiven him, but there’s something I need to fulfill first.
My mentors wish of going to Goodland.
If I say yes to this Alpha now, I will no have the freedom I want and he might likely not let me go there.
Michael thought me everything I needed to know about life and he died because of me, I need to honor this wish of his.
“The doctor said I just need a few days for my hand to be completely healed, after that, I will be gone. Please stop crying already, not even your tears will make me change my decision”
I explain and gently lie on the bed and face wall so I don’t keep seeing his sorrowful face. I need to do this for my Mentor.
After a while, I can hear him rise on his feet and I freeze when he covers my body with the duvet and leans closer to me.
“I’m still not going to back down” He whispers in my ear as he plants a gentle kiss on my forehead. “I love you”
Then he walks out of the room.
Immediately he closes the door behind him, I turn around and look at the door as a huge tear rolls down my cheeks.
I wish he could stay.
