Chapter 77
Hardin’S POV
I took Reign to the hospital as intended and her hand was checked. The doctor said it was getting better until she shapeshifted and made it bad again.
Right now she is receiving treatment and henceforth, she’s only going to shapeshift over my dead body!
She has to get better sooner or later.
My office door creaks open and both Kylie and Melissa walk in. What Miguel told me earlier today warmed my heart and I need to have a talk with them.
They actually care a lot for each other, but I need to know why they are fighting.
“You called” Kylie says as they both walk towards me.
“Miguel told me what happened”
“I swear we didn’t fight” Melissa defends and I just laugh.
“I know you didn’t. He told me Kylie went after a rogue that was about to attack you”
“Oh, yeah. She did”
“That’s nice. So you care about each other after all”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Of course we do”
“Then what’s making you fight?”
“Nothing” They both say in unison and I look at them in doubt. There is something they are not telling me.
“I doubt that. Now tell me the truth…” My statement is interrupted by a knock on my door. “Come in” I signal and Miguel walks in with another guy.
“Hardin you need to hear this” He says with a lot of seriousness and I know it’s something that is definitely going to take me off guard. I turn to Melissa and Kylie.
“We’ll have this conversation later, you girls can leave” I instruct and they both scurry away.
“Sup Miguel?”
“Good day Alpha Hardin” The guy greets and I just nod my head, wondering what important thing he has to say that has got Miguel’s ass on hot coals.
“This is Carl, he’s Reign’s cousin and you won’t believe what he has to say”
“Go on Carl, I’m listening”
“Can I start from the beginning do you understand?”
“Yes please”
“I left this pack on my sister’s birthday because of an emergency at the I had to attend to at the Blue Moon pack. News about what happened to Wilma reached me and I was very angry with Reign. I actually believed the story they told me because I honestly did not know the kind of person Reign truly is, her father never let anyone interact with her so, I don’t know what she is capable of doing and what she is not capable of doing, but when I got back yesterday, I paid my uncle a visit and that’s when I found my mate at his house. She just turned eighteen. She kept insisting that I take her home because she had something to tell me and when I did, she told me everything”
“Everything like?” I ask anxious.
“She said during Reign’s birthday party, she overheard my uncle and Wilma talking and Wilma was very furious about the fact that Alpha Hardin was Reign’s mate and she planned to Kill Reign”
“Oh boy!”
“But she didn’t know what happened next because she heard Wilma walking towards the door so she ran away”
“Whoa! Now that only makes it more complicated.”
“No it doesn’t, it takes us one step closer to finding out the truth about this whole issue. Miguel, take a few soldiers over to Mr. Logan’s house and arrest that lying ass of his. Even if I have to torture the truth out of him, I will!”
“I’m on it” Miguel confirms as he walks out of the office.
“And Clark, thank you very much for the information. I need you to stay here till he comes, I want you to tell him to his face what your mate said”
“No problem Alpha”
“You can take a seat”
“Thank you”
I lean on my office chair and rock it back and forth as I go into deep thought.
Wilma!
She planned to kill her very own sister because she found out I was her real mate.
Her crimes are too much. First she manipulates me into marking her as my mate and now I just learnt that she had plans of killing Reign. What kind of person plans to kill their very own sister?
I’m so ashamed of the fact that I ever got involved with her. She is the devil in disguise and in a way, I think she deserves what happened to her.
She died because of greed and I hope she has learned her lesson.
In less than no time, Miguel walks in with Mr. Logan following closely behind with a not so happy look on his face.
I knew he was hiding something deep, but I didn’t know it was the fact that one of his daughters had plans of killing the other and he was cool with it.
Sacrilege!
What kind of father is he?
I feel like giving him a very hard punch in the face right now.
“Alpha Hardin, what’s all this? Why did you send your soldiers to high jack me at my house on such short notice”
“Shut up and sit down!” I instruct as I rise up from my chair and walk over to the seating area.
I carefully roll the sleeves of the jacket I have on up my elbow and ball my fists into a blow. If he doesn’t want to tell me what I want hear, I’m going to do justice to that wrinkled face of his.
“Carl tell him what you just told me”
“Uncle Logan, my mate, Rayna who used to be a servant at you house told me what she overhead between you and Wilma. Wilma planned to kill Reign and you were so cool with it, why?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about” He denies flatly as expected.
“Liar, liar pants on fire” Miguel sings.
“That mate of yours is nothing but a liar. Wilma had no reason to plan to kill Reign”
“I thing she does. She felt threatened when she found out that I had found my real mate, she know I was eventually going to leave her for Reign, that’s why she planned to kill Reign!”
“That’s a lie, Reign was the one who killed Wilma because she was jealous of the fact you had chosen Wilma over her!” He spits out bitterly and without warning, I drive my right fist into his left jaw and moment they connect, blood flies out of his mouth.
He tries to fight back but Miguel pins him down.
“Dare try to raise your hand against my Alpha again and I’m snapping this old head of yours, better behave!”
“Mannerless children! All of you have lost your manners! Don’t you know it’s forbidden for a child to raise his hand against his elder!”
“Not when the elder won’t respect himself and say the truth!”
“I have already told you all that there is to say. Reign killed Wilma because of jealousy. None of you here have any idea the kind of person Reign is, why do you think I had her locked up this while? Reign is my daughter and I know her inside out!”
“No you don’t!” I contradict. “Reign told me you hardly checked on her. She told me you would disappear for months and only spoke to her once in a while. How then do you know her inside our when you never established any bond or relationship with her? Just how well do you think you know your daughter?”
“I don’t need to establish any bond with Reign before I know what she is capable of doing, just the fact that she killed get mother at child birth is enough for me to know that she has a wicked soul! That’s why I had her locked away from the rest of the world.
I swear this man is a psychopath.
He is not well upstairs and it’s dangerous to have him roaming around this pack freely. I turn to Miguel who is ready to snap his head at my command.
“Miguel”
“Please just give me the order to rip this man’s head off his shoulders, he needs to die” He says with an irritated tone and I just shake my head.
“He still hasn’t told me what I want to hear. Lock him up in the Silver prison” I order and Miguel nods as he jerks him off the chair and drags him out of the office. Carl follows suit.
What exactly is this man hiding?
