Chapter 42
Reign’S POV
I walk over to Ma’am Sophia’s door feeling down like never before. I badly need her to comfort me. I feel like I’m loosing my mind.
When I get to the door, I knock and in no time, she opens up.
I am so grateful that she’s at home.
Without warning, I crash into her arms and bursts into tears. She doesn’t say a word. She just keeps rocking my back until I’m calm again.
“Is everything alright?” She asks once we get into her room.
“No, not at all”
“What happened? Did anyone bully you? Should I report him to the Alpha?”
“No, no on the contrary, I bullied the Alpha!”
“I … don’t think I understand you”
“I was just angry okay and…and…” I stutter as I try to wipe my tears away. “And.. I wanted to let him know. I wanted to let him know that I am still mad at him for … for..”

“For… calling me a thief without any prove, I just wanted to let him know that what he did was wrong, but… but…”
Hiccup.
“I ruined everything!” I cry.
“Honey, you have to calm down and tell me all what happened”
“So… he sent me some clothes and food this morning..” I say within sobs. “Then I… I…”
Hiccup.
“You…?” Ma’am Sophia asks impatiently.
“I rejected them. I asked the maids to tell him I didn’t need them”
“Oh, dear!”
“And when he came to confront me, I did the worst. I called him a hypocrite and then… and then he .. he..”
Hiccup..
“He got mad!” I cry harder and she just engulfs me in her arms.
“Oh sweetie, it’s okay, he’ll come around”
“I just wanted to let him know what was on my mind but now that I have and he’s mad, it hurts so bad! Why is it like that Ma’am Sophia? Why is it so hard for me to hate him as much as I want to?”
“Because he is your mate Reign, you cannot hate your mate. Yes you might feel this burning anger within you whenever you see him, but you can never actually hate your destined mate! That has never happened in the history of werewolves”
“But Alpha Hardin hates me!”
“No he doesn’t”
“Then how do you call all what he is doing to me?”
“Frustration, confusion, anger, naughtiness, a little bit of stupidity, but definitely not hatred. It’s not in his ability to hate you. Even if he wanted to, he can’t because you are his mate and Luna and there’s no denying it. That’s a reality he can never escape from!”
Hardin’S POV
“… stop acting like a hypocrite cuz I’m not going to accept it. You can’t treat me badly and act the next minute like it never happened, like you are trying to buy me over. I don’t want your stuff, Alpha!” Reign’s words replay on my mind and without warning, I drive my fists into the nearby wall.
She’s always striking all the wrong nerves and the most annoying thing is that I can’t bring myself to the level of punishing her for the way she spoke to me.
I would have gotten any other werewolf severely punished for talking to me in such a manner, for calling me names, but surprisingly, I can’t do the same for Reign and it pisses me off.
I was just trying to be nice to her given what happened, but she took it the other way round and I don’t know why but her words hurt me so much. So much that I’m just moments away from breaking down.
I’m a Paramount Alpha and I have had so many other Alphas look me in the eye and call me all sorts of terrible names, I have even had an Alpha call me a hypocrite but that didn’t hurt me. None of those words they called ever hurt me like Reign’s did. Her words pierce through my heart like blazing arrows and up till now I’m still trying to recover from the pain.
I was just trying to be nice to her given what happened yesterday, but she has proven to me that she doesn’t need my sympathy and for that reason, I’m going to start treating her like before.
I’m going to make sure she regrets ever rejecting my stuff or calling me names. That I swear.
There a gentle knock at the door and immediately, my heart starts drumming.
That should be Reign, I had summoned her earlier. I take calculated steps towards the door, reminding my heart to mind its business. It’s only function is to pump blood, not get involved in everything else that has to do with emotions. The only part that controls my emotions is my brain, and it has to stay that way.
My heart is nothing but a traitor and I cannot afford to let it betray me at such a crucial moment.
I let out a heavy sigh as I creak the door open and immediately my eyes fall on her perfect figure, my heart stops drumming and begins to pound!
Every time I see Reign, she looks more beautiful… I thought I told my bloody heart to mind is business! So why am I complimenting her beauty?
I clear my throat and frown to change my mood and step aside for her get in.
“You sent for me” She says with her angelic voice and I just close the door and walk over to my desk where I sit on my office chair and begin to rock it.
“Yes I did” I reply and she bows down her head. “Look at me” I order and she looks up at me. I hold her gaze in mine and stare deeply into her beautiful eyes that has got thousands of emotions swimming in them. What I saw in her eyes a while ago is quite different from what I see now.
Back there, all I could see was anger and hatred that stunk my heart like bees, but now, her eyes speak something else that I cannot place my hand on just yet and in a way, I’m relieved that she’s not angry.
My bloody heart!
“Is there anything you’d like me to do for you?”
“Good question.” I remark as I seat upright on my seat. “As a matter of that, yes, there are a number of things I would like you to do for me.”
“And what could that be Alpha?” She asks calmly and I can’t help but wonder why she’s suddenly so calm and obedient. A while ago, she was about to rip off my head.
Why are women so unpredictable?
“I gave the maid in my charge of cleaning my entire chambers the day off, I want you to clean it”
“I’ll get to it right away Alpha”
“Good and I’m sure you know I want it properly done. Don’t leave even a speck of dirt behind”
“I definitely will do it properly, Alpha”
“Good, you can leave now”
“Thank you, Alpha” She says with a slight bow and exits my office and I try to smile, but I can’t.
I’m supposed to feel accomplished, but I don’t. I’m even more bitter than I was before I summoned her.
Right now I’m confused, taunting her, torturing her, maltreating her is supposed to give me pleasure, is supposed to make laugh evilly and drink wine or whiskey, is supposed make me feel accomplished and proud of myself, instead, right now, I feel like the worst person on the entire earth.
I feel like there’s something wrong with me upstairs and I swear, I need help!
ASAP!
