CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT

Reign’S POV

It’s Beta Miguel and the look on his face says it all, he is not happy that I’m leaving.

He is one of the very few people who were nice to me during my stay at the pack and right now I feel kind of guilty that I was about leaving without letting him know.

Really now Luna? You were just going to leave without letting me know? He asks as he approaches me and I just smile in guilt.

It completely slipped my mind

Too excited to leave, aye?

Sort of I say shrugging and he stands before me and lets out a heavy sigh of frustration.

Do you really have to go? He asks calmly and I swallow dryly. Why do they keep asking me these questions? It’s frustrating and I hate having to answer it over and over again.

Yes I do

It’s dangerous out there Reign, you will be considered a rogue and others werewolves will hunt you

That’s not going to happen Miguel, I have plans.

Which are…?

Classified! I state firmly and he just shakes his head.

Alpha Hardin doesn’t want you to go

What he wants doesn’t matter to me at all. I want to leave and I’m going to do just that I fire back.

Well, I really understand you and in a way I blame him for this, but note this Reign, you are the Luna of this pack, my Luna and it’s my duty as Beta to make sure that you are fine. As you leave now, just know you’ll not be out for long, because I’m going to find you and I’m going to bring you back here, where you belong and you are going rule as our Luna. That I promise you

I’d love to see you try I dare as I cross over the running stream that separates the Wall Street Pack and the Blue moon pack. Right now I’m standing in the Blue Moon territory.

See you Luna He says waving and I just turn around and walk away.

Good bye Wall Street Pack.

Hardin’S POV

I pour myself the fifth shot of vodka and gulp down greedily and angrily shoot the glass against the wall.

That’s the fifth glass I’m destroying.

I still can’t believe Reign is gone. I had the power to make her stay, all I had to was say no and break the deal we had, but I didn’t want to do that. Reign already hates me, forcing her to stay here against her will only make her hate me more and that’s not what I want.

I don’t want her to hate me any more, that’s why I let her go. One thing for sure is that I haven’t given up on her, I’m going to find her and I’m going to bring her back here because this is where she belongs.

I’m definitely going to find her!

My office door creaks open Kylie walks in not looking happy at all.

Hardin She calls as she walks over to me.

Yes cupcake

Is it true? Is it true that Reign left the pack?

Yes cupcake, we had a deal.

Why did you let her go? She asks aghast and I just shake my head

Because she wanted to go baby, I couldn’t hold her back against her will

I want her back She cries I really love her and I want her back, please bring her back, you have the power to do that She pleads almost in tears and I walk over to her and engulf her in my arms.

I promise I’m going to bring her back. Let’s just give her sometime

But’s it’s dangerous out there in the woods, she could be attacked by other wicked rogues. I don’t want anything bad to happen to her

There’s nothing for you to be worried about, she’s going to be alright I assure her.

The neighboring pack is the Blue Moon pack and most if its members know her so the are not going to harm her.

I also know she’s going to spend a few nights there and that’s why I’m a bit relaxed. She’s safe as long as she’s in the Blue Moon pack.

I miss her already

Me too princess, me too I say as I kiss her hair.

I miss Reign and I don’t know how I’m going to survive without her.

My office door creaks open and Miguel enters, looking sad as well.

Okay, Reign’s departure has brought nothing but sorrow.

Kylie, go to your room, I’ll check up on you later I instruct and she nods and walks out of the office. I turn to Miguel who happens to be frowning and raise my brows and he immediately understands what it means.

We have to go get her He says the moment Kylie closes the door.

"We are going to do just that, but not today.

Why not? It’s too dangerous for her out there. She has a broken arm remember. He reminds and I grit my teeth in anger. She is out there completely defenseless and I will have to be dead and gone before I let her roam the woods forever.

I’m going to bring her home.

I know that, but she’s not going to be roaming the woods, she must be in the Blood Moon pack by now and she knows a few people there. She even knows their Alpha and I’m pretty sure she’s going to spend a few nights there I explain and he gives me a curious look.

Are you sure about that?

One hundred percent sure

No matter what, we have to bring her back. We need our Luna

You all don’t need her like I do Right now I feel like I’ve lost everything. I hate the way I feel right now.

I feel so guilty and mad at myself for treating her so badly.

I met her at the boundary and we spoke for a few minutes. She was so determined to leave. There was nothing I could say to make her change her mind

Reign’s strong will is overwhelming. Sometimes I wonder how I’m going to handle her if we ever get together, she’s quite a handful to deal with

You’ll be okay, how do think I’m holding up with Megan?

Ugh! That cousin of mine is a war, you are indeed a strong man I compliment as I take out another glass from the wine bar and pour myself a drink but before I can carry it up to drink, Miguel beats me to it.

He takes up the glass of wine and empties it.

How dare you?

You’ve had enough already, I’m not letting you take another shot of this whiskey, you are risking your health

Miguel right now I’m hurting, I’m frustrated about the fact that my mate just left me, I really don’t need your motherly advice right now I say rolling my eyes and he carries the bottle.

I’m still going to reprimand you all the same

Whatever! I’m going to take a nap I say as I descend from one of the barstools and when I get on my feet, I stagger violently and only gain my balance when Miguel supports me.

That’s when I realize just how drink I am.

I swear Reign brings out the absolute worst in you He complains.

I like the sound of that name I slur with a foolish smile.

Shut up! He commands as he wraps my arm over his shoulder and leads me out of the office to my bedroom.

One thing is settled, I’m going to find Reign and I’m going to bring her back home, whether she likes it or not!

This is her home, this is her pack and she is my mate and Luna, she’s going to learn to accept that fact!

CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE

So, the fact that I’m in the Blood Moon territory, doesn’t mean I’m in the pack already.

I don’t know the way to the pack.

I have been walking in circles for more than two hours now and I don’t seem to know where I’m headed to.

I’m frustrated, tired, famished and parched!

Nothing ever turns out good for me.

I had hoped to go over to the pack to ask a few wolves about the how I can get to Goodland, but here I am lost in the woods.

I tiredly sit on a broken tree trunk to rest for a while before I continue and that’s when I get a faint smell from a distance. Lyla immediately awakens, ready to defend me. I quietly rise up from the tree and look around me and soon, I hear growls and snarls and dry leaves crying as they are being crushed. I turn abruptly took and that’s when I see a group of about six werewolves, approaching me in a not so friendly manner. I take calculated steps backwards as they approach me.

This is not how I pictured it to be.

Please, don’t hurt me, I mean no harm. I’m Reign Logan and I’ve been here before, I’m not here to cause trouble I try to plead but who am I kidding?

Shapeshifting into your wolf form also means turning off your human side. Right now the only human order they can receive is that of their Alpha’s or individual mates. All what I’m saying means nothing but jargons to them and they are certainly going to mess me up.

There’s six of them, like one, two, three, four, five and six of them. If I shapeshift right now, they’ll think of me as a threat all the more and also, I wouldn’t be able to run as fast as I should because of my left hand that’s hurting.

A soft whimper escapes my lips when my bad hits against a tree and I can no longer move backwards.

The wolves keep growling and approaching me and I just close my eyes and wait for them to do what ever it is they want to do.

Step away from her! An authoritative voice orders and I quickly snap my eyes open to see who my knight in shining is and I’m not surprised at all to see Alpha Damien standing gracefully before me with a bewildered expression on his face.

He must be wondering what I’m doing in his pack again.

The six wolves retreat and stand behind him and he takes calculated steps towards me.

Reign? Is that you? He asks calmly.

Yes Alpha Damien I reply with a nod as far tear rolls down my left cheek.

That was a close call.

I’ll take it from here, now head back to the pack all of you He orders yet again and the six werewolves turn around and walk away. I let out a heavy sigh of relieve as I step away from the tree.

Is everything alright? He asks concerned and I nod and then shake my head at the same time.

Yes, I mean, no…I mean, sort of I blurt out equally confused and raises his brows.

So, what are you finally saying?

Yes, everything is okay

If that’s the case then, what are you doing here?

That’s a long story

I have all day Reign. I really want to know why you are always on the move. Last month I rescued you right here in these woods and now, here we are again, almost facing the same scenario

Alpha Damien, the truth is that, my life is a mixture of ugly and ugly.

Oh…

Yeah

So, did you escape from Alpha Hardin?

What no? No one can escape from Alpha Hardin’s pack. He let me leave on my own. When he took me last month from your castle, we kind of made a deal where by I had to serve as a security guard…

Security guard? With a broken arm? He asks aghast.

Well, I didn’t let him know that I had a broken arm

Why not?

Because I knew he wouldn’t care

Which I was wrong, by the way.

… and I was scared that he would use that weakness of mine to torment me all the more, that’s why I kept it a secret from him

I see… so what was the deal?

For me to serve at the pack for one month and after that, I’m free to go wherever it is I want to go to I explain and looks at me long and hard.

Reign, you have never really told me the main cause of all these predicaments you keep going through. What exactly is going on? He asks concerned.

Alpha Damien, I’m going to tell you all that, but right now I’m too exhausted and hungry and parched to do any explanations

Come on then, let’s go to the castle so you can eat and rest He says as he motions me to follow him and I obey.

So, a very dear person to me used to tell me about a place called Goodland, he said it’s a place where all werewolves are welcomed…

Wait… *used to*? He asks as he stops on his tracks and turns to look at me and I nod.

Yeah , *used to*

That’s past tense, does that mean he’s no more right now?

This man and capturing details!

Yeah, he’s dead

Oh… I’m so sorry about that. What happened?

Well, it’s part of the explanation I’m going to give you when we get to the pack

Oh…alright then. So, you were talking about Goodland, what about it?

I just wanted to ask if you know the way there and also if you’d be kind enough to direct me on how to find the place

Why do you want to go to Goodland?

Well, I’ve heard a lot of good stories about the place, I just want to go there and start a new life

You can start a new life here in Blue Moon pack, my subjects are friendly and they are going to treat you right, I will make sure they do He suggests and I smile in amusement.

A man with a heart of gold.

Well, I have actually considered that before, but you see, the person who told me about Goodland mysteriously lost his mate and children, so he always spoke of wanting to go there start a new life, also, I’m kind of the main cause of his death so I owe it to him to fulfill that wish of his. That’s the main reason why I want to go to Goodland

You’ve only made me more anxious Reign. First I find you in the woods badly injured, next your Alpha brutally takes you away and now here you are in my pack again looking distressed and as if that’s not enough, you just told me that someone was killed because of you. I am dying to know this whole story.

And I’m going to tell you, just exercise some patience I urge and he looks at me in awe.

You know, for someone who’s going through such hard times, you have a courage in that heart of yours, even my Beta doesn’t talk so freely with me. How is it possible that you talk to me with such boldness? He asks in bewilderment and I just smile and shake my head.

My mate, Alpha Hardin is bigger, scarier, looks way more intimidating than he does and the sound of his voice can bring down an entire castle, yet, I’m able to look him in the eyes and call him a hypocrite, sometimes scold at him properly.

If I can do that to the Paramount Alpha, then having a harmless, spontaneous conversation with Alpha Damien shouldn’t be a problem.

After all, in a way, I’m the Paramount Luna and it’s only normal that I have a different kind of courage and boldness bestowed in me by the Moon goddess. I can interact with any Alpha, however I want.

Well… I say as I smile When I’m done explaining everything to you, you’ll understand how that’s possible

So there’s a reason after all

A very valid one! I say confidently and he nods in agreement.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah

Have you found your mate? And if you have, what is he saying about all this?

That is also included in what I have to tell you

Oh boy, now my ass is on hot coals. You are doing a great job keeping me in suspense

Well, it’s just a matter of time and you’ll know everything

I can’t wait!

We both walk on in comfortable silence.

Thank you I break the silence and he looks at me as we walk on.

For what exactly?

For always coming to my rescue. Thank you very much.

I can’t do otherwise Reign, not when you look exactly like my late mate.

I just nod my head and smile as we move on.

I’m famished by the way.

CHAPTER SIXTY

Reign’S POV

Alpha Damien is the kindest werewolf on this planet earth. When we arrived at the castle, he took me to his very own chambers and ordered a few maids to make sure that I was properly taken care of and they have been very nice to me.

Being in Blue Moon pack and being in Wall Street pack are two different things, two different feelings.

While at the Wall Street Pack, all I felt was resentment from everyone else, except three people and you them and the Alpha, who happened to be my mate, was not good to me at all, but here in the Blue moon pack which is not even my pack, every one seems welcoming and even the other maids I worked with were so happy to see me.

I can’t wait to go at see Tasha and Avery after this.

I miss them so much.

Right now I’m on my way to Alpha Damien’s office to tell him all what has been happening in my very miserable life. He has helped me during very crucial moments and he deserves to know what it is that always puts me in the situations in which he always finds me.

I just pray he understands.

When I get to his office door, I knock gently at it and when he signals me to enter, I gently creak the door knob open and take calculated steps into the very spacious office. I see Alpha Damien comfortably seated on his office chair, rocking it back and forth while spinning a pen in his hand and looking hot like never before.

Alpha’s always have something to write about.

Hello I greet with a tiny voice and he smiles.

I can see you’re done

Yeah

Did my maids treat you well?

Way more than I deserved

Then that’s a good thing. He says as he sits upright and looks deep into my eyes. So, are you ready to say all what you promised to say?

Yes, I am

Cool

I let out a heavy sigh of exasperation. I don’t even know where to start, but I have to start.

It’s been barely six weeks since I was allowed to see the outside world I start
