Chapter 168
Reign’S POV
Ever since Yves told me about the silver, I have not been fine. I have been thinking and rubbing my tummy all morning.
Hardin
Where is Hardin?
Is he doing anything to find me?
Is he worried at all that I have been abducted?
Does he know that these Alphas have found a way to make me lose our baby?
Whatever it is his plans are, I pray he is not too late.
If I lose this baby, I have no one else to blame but myself!
My stubborn nature!
I hear footsteps approaching and I crawl to the end of the wall in order to hide my self which is a big time fail because there is actually to place to hide. They are coming to get me.
Alpha Lance already got the silver and right now they want to get me so they can force out my baby. I won’t let them take me without a fight!
“Luna Reign” a voice calls and when I look up, I see two guys standing before me an do immediately recognize them to be the Lloyd and Kevin. They must have come to get me.
“You guys won’t take me without a fight” I declare firmly and Lloyd smiles.
“Calm down Luna, we are not here to get you. At least not yet.”
“Liars!” I shout back.
“We just need a simple favor from you”
“What kind of a favor would you possibly need from a prisoner?” I ask shooting them deadly glances.
“Luna Reign, we sincerely need you to help us.” Lloyd says stooping down so he could be the same level as me.
“With what exactly”
“Remember the last fight we had before you got abducted? You badly injured one of us. Remember?”
“Oh, you mean the not so gentle man that didn’t find it shameful to attack a pregnant woman?”
“Luna, he is dying!”
“And you are telling me because?”
“We don’t want him to die. Please we have come here to beg you so you can change your mind and give your blood so we can heal him. Please Luna” He explains I quietly rise up from the ground and take calculated steps towards him at the door. As I walk closer to the door, he takes a few steps backwards.
“You have the nerve…” One step forward. “The audacity…” another step. “The effrontery to come here and ask for my blood to heal your friend after abducting me and planning to kill my unborn child?” I ask in anger as I feel the color of my eyes change to blood red. I can feel Lyla trying to restrain herself from taking over me.
These people are sick!
All of them are sick in the head!
“Luna Reign, remember that you are the Paramount Luna and that means it is your obligation to look after your subjects. The moon goddess chose you because she knows you have good heart. You show mercy and compassion even to your enemies. Why then is Reed an exception? What are you going to tell the moon goddess when she asks you why you let your subject die?” He asks with a sorrowful look which I know he is faking.
I know what he is trying to do.
He is trying to emotionally blackmail me but that is not going to work.
He is right about the fact I am the Paramount Luna and it is my responsibility to take care of my subject. Right now, even if Reed dies, nothing is going to change, I am still going to lose this baby, this war is still going to go on and my mate is going to win the war.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
One thing for sure is that I will not be at rest if I let that guy die.
Yes, he is my enemy, but he is not doing this on his own.
All he’s trying to do is be loyal to his Alpha and I’m going to give him another chance.
Everyone deserves a second chance.
I lock Lyla in and let my eyes change to it’s normal ocean blue. The anger I felt a while ago subsides and I look up at them.
“Where is he?” I ask calmly and they both look at me surprised.
“Uh. . He is in his bedroom”
“Take me to him” I instruct and they both exchange confused glances. “Yes it is what you are thinking. I am going to heal hon. But know this, I’m not doing this because you tried to emotionally blackmail me. I am doing this because I can do it and because I want to do it. Reed is just a victim of circumstances like all of you. I’m going to give him another chance at life because he deserves it. Everyone deserves a second chance”
“What should I say now? Thank you?”
“Please don’t, your stinky thank you is surely going to make me puke!” I fire back and he just shakes his head.
“Alright then, I’ll just bring him here”
“Okay then, I will be waiting”
They both leave and I return to my spot and sit down.
“Why are you doing this?” Lyla suddenly asks.
“Because I want to”
“But he is an enemy.”
“It doesn’t matter Lyla. Why let him die when we can save him?”
“Because he deserves it, if you were in his position, he would not have healed you.”
“But he’s not there right? Lyla we don’t have to be like him. Yes you are right, he would not have healed me if I were in his position, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t heal him right now. We are different and we are going to do what is right”
“If you heal him, Hardin is going to have people on his tail, Adam too”
“I know you are worried about Adam, but trust me he is fine. Hardin can handle them all. Trust me”
“Damn, you are so stubborn!” She cries a she locks herself out and I shake my head..
She is never going to see reasons with me because she is the beast side of me. She knows no compassion a works with the principle of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, but with my human side, I can be compassionate, even if it makes me look like I am a fool!
Moments later, both Elementals show up again and this time around, they are with company.
Reed is seated on a wheel chair with his right hand clutched officer his left abdomen. He looks like shit and I can only imagine the pain he is going through.
He is not going to survive the day if something is not done.
“Leave us” I command as I walk over to the door and Lloyd gives me a frown.
“Excuse me?”
“I said leave us”
“I can’t do that, who knows what you will do to him”
“Lloyd, if you think everyone is as cruel and heartless like you, then you are wrong, I only intend to heal Reed, nothing else.”
“And you can’t do that in front if us?”
“I can, but I don’t want to do it in front of you all”
“You want to kill him right?” Kevin asks.
“How can I even do that when my hands are bound, besides even if I could, I won’t waste my energy on that, he is going to die in the next few hours anyway”
“What exactly do you want Luna Kira?”
“I want you to give us a moment, but since you are hesitant to do that, you might as well take him away and find another cure”
“Do as she says” Reeds says weakly as he looks up at them. “Leave us”
“No Reed, we can’t leave you her with her, she is going to kill you”
“I am ready to take the risk. She is the only one who can save me so just let her do what ever she wants, please!” Reed please almost inaudibly and I swear I feel very sorry for him.
All I want right now is for him to be fine.
“I will ask him to mind link you guys once we are done”
They both finally exit the hall, leaving just Reed and it. He pushes his wheelchair closer to the door and I stoop down to his level so we could talk.
“How are you feeling?”
“Like shit!”
“I can imagine. Take your hand off the spot so I can see” I instruct and he obeys.
The wound is quite fresh, like it was inflicted on him just a few moments ago and it is still bleeding, though not profusely.
“You know you brought this upon yourself, right?”
“I know that. I should have known better than to attack you”
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Yes”
“Do you really like what you are doing? I mean do you really like fact that all you do is follow orders, attack innocent people and cause trouble here and there?”
“We are not just causing trouble Luna Reign, we are fighting a war” He corrects and I chuckle.
“How close were you with Alpha Lance before you got these powers?”
“We weren’t close in any way”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah”
“What was your occupation at the pack before this whole charade began?”
“I used to be a guard”
“Was Alpha Lance ever nice to you before?” I ask looking at him straight in the eye so he doesn’t lie to me.
“No, he wasn’t. Alpha Lance is not the kind of man who is nice to people before his Alpha rank. He treats his servants like trash”
“If he treated you like trash then, why are you with him right now?”
“Because for the first time in forever, he is being nice to me. Luna Reign I come from the slumps in our pack and by now you must have heard about how we are being treated. That night when I first discovered my abilities, I was terrified and the others advices me to go tell the Alpha. I ran to him and when I explained everything to him, he was so nice to me, he promised to make my life and that if my family’s better if I fought with him in this war. I did not hesitate to say yes to him and he kept to his word. He immediately ordered for my parents to be relocated to the residential area of the pack and even right now, I live in this castle and I’m treated like royalty. I have a good reason for doing this” He explains in tears and to tell you what, I totally understand him. I have seen what Alpha Lance puts his poor subjects through and even if I was in his shoes, I would do what he did so I can redeem my family from poverty.
Right now all I have to do is talk the right things into him and if he is the good man I think he is, he will have a rethink on all this.
“Reed, I totally understand you and to tell you what, I would have done the same thing if I were in your shoes, but right now, you have the opportunity to do the right thing”
“Which is?”
“Firstly, I am going to heal you, you are going to be strong again and you will be as powerful as you were before. But I want you to know that this Alpha you serve is a wicked man and he is only exploiting you, nothing else. You very well know that.”
“Luna Reign, you are right, but there’s no where else to go. This is my pack, if I leave I become a rogue.”
“There is the Wall Street Pack”
“Alpha Hardin is never going to welcome me into his pack after what I’ve done”
“That’s where you are wrong. He will and he is not going to judge you. Remember he is the Paramount Alpha and it is his duty to accept and protect every other werewolf who needs his protection irrespective of where they come from. He will let you in”
“I’m scared Luna, I don’t want to fight for him, but if I don’t, my entire family will go down with me.”
“You have to take this bold step and trust me just like you have done now with you life. When you get well, take your family and go over to the Wall Street Pack, tell Alpha Hardin I healed you, tell him I sent you there and he will take you in. This is your chance to choose the right path, if you know what is good for you, don’t waste it because if we ever have another encounter at the battle field, I will finish you off. Trust me, I’m not bluffing”
“I will think about this”
“That’s better. You can mind link the others to come back”
He nods as he closes his eyes and a few minutes later, both Kevin and Lloyd come rushing in.
“Is it done yet?” Lloyd asks hastily as he looks at Reed. I stretch both hands forward through the bars.
“You can’t be that dumb, you haven’t taken out the blood yet”
“Tss…” he takes out a syringe from his pocket and I close my eyes as he stick it in me after wiping the spot with alcohol and draws out a good amount of blood.
I watch in fascination as he turns to Reed and injects the blood into him.
Moments later, he falls asleep and I smile.
“He will be fine when wakes up” I say as I go back to the end of the wall and seat on the floor.
I pray he does the right thing when he wakes up.
