THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Reign’S POV

“Bloody hell!” I curse in anger as I vomit for the hundredth and tenth time this morning.

Firstly, I woke up with morning fever, all my joints were hurting most especially my back and the first thing I did was rush to the toilet to pee. I didn’t find Hardin on the bed when I woke and I swear I cried for reasons I do not know.

My hormones are all over the place.

It was sort a war for me to go an take my bath and right now I keep vomiting like I ate something bad last night.

After dressing up for training, I look at myself in the mirror and I almost run away. I look like a scarecrow and the way I feel is exactly the way I look.

I feel like shit!

Sick, tired, hungry and all I want to do is sleep, but I can’t, because I’ve got soldiers to train.

I walk over to the table in the sitting area where breakfast has already been served for me and just pick up the two sandwiches on the plate and leave the bedroom.

The time reads quarter past eight am and I’m already more than one hour late for practice because I woke up late and wasted a lot of time getting ready.

I swear I don’t feel like myself.

My head is spinning like a roller-coaster, stomach is churning within and my mouth is all bitter. Even the sandwich I am eating tastes so bad and only eating because I’m famished.

I’m going to get sick, I can feel in my bones that I’m going to get sick one of these days.

Once I leave the castle, I hurry over to the training ground where I meet the female soldiers training in groups.

I spot Megan talking to a group at the other soldiers and I rush over to meet her.

“Megan” I call.

“Oh hey… oh my God you look like shit!” She condemns.

Typical Megan.

“Thanks for the compliment”

“I don’t mean it in a sarcastic or mean way, you really do look like shit. What’s with all the sleeping bags? Did you and Hardin fight? Is he giving you a hard time?” She asks with all seriousness.

“No Megan, Hardin and are cool, I promise”

I very well know Megan, she can dash out of here and barge into Hardin’s office and give him the scolding of his life if I don’t clear the air.

She is that fierce.

“Then what is wrong with you? You look ill” She touches my forehead with her palm.

“Your temperature is not that bad, but you look so tired and weak”

“Well, that only means I’ll be fine soon enough. Forget about me, I’ll be fine?”

“Are you sure?” She asks concerned and I nod my head as I start to walk away.

“Yes I am.” I escape before she can have change mind and send me home or worst still mind link Hardin to come and take me back home.

“Reign” I hear someone call from behind and I immediately know it’s Kol. I smile as I turn around to face him.

“Whoa! You good?”

“Uh… yeah, why is everyone asking me that”

“Because you look sick. Are you sure you are fine” He asks concerned and I nod my head vigorously.

These sibling can be overprotective at times and irks me a great deal.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes I am, so, what will be learning today?”

“Well, a few fighting techniques in wolf form”

“So, that means we will be shapeshifting today?”

“Yes, And we will train in the woods too. Exciting right?”

“Yeah… very exciting!”

“Are you sure you are okay?” He asks yet again and I roll my eyes as I walk away.

I’m not ready for him right now.

“Reign!” He calls.

“What now Kol?” I answer in a bored tone as I turn around to face him once more.

“I’ve got eyes on you”

“Yeah, whatever!”

“Alright everyone, gather around.” He instructs and we all gather around. “Today we will be training in the woods, in our wolf forms. Sounds exciting right?”

“Very exciting!” The others chorus.

“And, we what we are going to do is, we are going to shapeshift with our clothes on”

“We are going to tip them apart!”

“That’s the whole sense in it. During battle, you won’t have time to go into your bedroom and take off your clothes before you shapeshift and come out again, the enemy would have already killed all your pups by the time you get back. So what we will do is, we are going to shapeshift here and rush into the woods, I already prepared the area we are going to be using for the day. So, any questions?” He asks but a whole lot of seconds pass without anybody saying a word.

“Good then, let’s all shape shift and gather in the group. I will shapeshift when you all have already done so and then lead the way” He orders and everyone disperses to spots where they can easily shapeshift without being interrupted.

“Lyla… it’s time for you to rock!” I mind link Lyla but she doesn’t respond.

Without her consent, I cannot shapeshift.

“Lyla” I call and she purrs lazily. “Seriously, of all times, you choose to sleep now”

“I can’t let you do this?”

“Lyla please don’t be stubborn, we need to do this. It’s time for training” I plead as I try to transform my paws but nothing happens.

The more I try to force it, the more I get weaker and before I know it, I’m so weak that I cannot stand. My legs give way and I’m about to collapse on the ground when I feel strong muscular arms sweep me off my feet.

I’m tempted to think it’s Hardin but that’s not his scent I’m perceiving right now

It’s no one else but Kol.

“I told you I have eyes on you right?”

“Put me down, I’m fine” I slurr with eyes closed.

“Your stubbornness is overwhelming Reign”

And just then, everything goes black. The only thing I can feel is Kol walking with me in his arms and I very well know that is taking me to no place other than the pack hospital.

No one in this pack visits that hospital as frequently as I do.

Hardin’S POV

I was in the middle of a meeting with the elders when Kol mind linked me with the news that he was on his way with Reign to the hospital. I did not even think twice about adjourning the meeting for tomorrow morning.

I know the elders understand because they all have mates and they all know how important a mate is to each one of us.

What exactly happened?

Why did she go unconscious?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She was fine last night when we went to bed, I didn’t get the chance to see her this morning because I had to leave early for this meeting. Maybe if I had seen her, I would have noticed that she wasn’t feeling too well and stopped her from going for training and then I would have taking her to the hospital myself.

Unconscious.

I don’t like that word, Reign has been rushed to the hospital two times while she was unconscious and the first time she was dead already.

I don’t like it when she goes unconscious. Too many things can go wrong.

“Bro, you need to calm down” Kol urges.

We are both in the waiting room and I can’t stay still.

“I can’t calm down, that is my mate we are talking about. She is in there fighting for her life and any thing can happen. Kol I don’t want anything to happen to Reign!” I cry and Kol gets up from the chair he is sitting on and walks towards me.

“Hey, look at me” He instructs and I stop pacing about and turn to face him. He places his hands on my shoulders and looks at me deep in the eyes.

“You are an Alpha, aren’t you?”

“Yes I am”

“And Reign is your Luna, isn’t she?”

“Yes she is”

“Until your years of reigning are over which is over fifty years, you cannot die, Is that not so?”

“It is”

“And since Reign is your mate the same thing applies to her, she can’t die until her years of reign are over, am I wrong?”

“No you are not”

“Good, so all this panting up and down is all for nothing. There is nothing for you to be scared about. As it is now, Reign is immortal. The only think you should be worried about is what made her go unconscious and not what will happen to her, because you and I know that nothing can happen to her. Relax.” He preaches and there’s this sudden inner peace in me that I don’t know where it came from.

Maybe it’s because he is right.

Nothing is going to happen to Reign, what I have to be worried about is what is making her sick.

What exactly happened this time around.

“Hardin” a female voice calls and I immediately know it’s Megan, I turn around and see her rushing towards us with the a worried look on.

“Megan” I call in a whisper as I crash into her arms.

“It’s okay Hardin, she is going to be alright”

“I know that sis, I’m just sad that she’s in there, sick and going through a hard time. I hate to see her in such a condition.”

“Oh Hardin!” She rubs my back gently as she sympathizes with me.

“What about the shewolves?” Kol asks Megan.

“I asked Dylan to work with them. They will work well with him, he’s one very strict commander”

“That’s good then”

“Someone please mind link Miguel to come. He’s going to kill me if he hears about this later on”

“Good thing your cousin figured that out soon enough.” Miguel speaks as he walks into the waiting room.

“Has the doctor said anything yet?”

“Nope, still waiting”

“What exactly happened?”

“Well, I saw her this morning and told her she looked like shit because she really did look like shit” Megan explains.

“I noticed too, but she told me she was okay so I let her be, but I kept stealing glances at her every now and then to make sure she was really okay like she claimed. When it was time for us to shapeshift and go into the woods for training, I saw her struggling to do so and then she suddenly went weak and her legs gave up, but I smart enough to reach get her before she dropped to the ground.”

“You said she was struggling to shapeshift” Megan repeats.

“Yeah, that’s what I noticed”

“If she was struggling that means her wolf was resisting”

“And why would her wolf be resist” Hardin asks nerved.

“To protect her”

“Protect her? I didn’t know our wolves would resist shapeshifting to protect us” I wonder aloud.

“Me neither”

“Same here”

“All of you are a bunch of block heads. If her wolf is resisting, it means it’s protecting her and that in turn means…” She stops and looks at us and smiles.

“Means?…” We ask in unison and she sakes her head.

“Not saying”

“You are such a kill joy!”

“I accept” she brags and we just turn away from her.

The doctor walks into the waiting room and I rush over to him to hear what he has to say.

“Please tell me it’s not something too serious”

“Not at all. It is in fact, good news.” He says with a smile and my heart starts racing instantly.

I turn to look at the other others and the guys look just as confused as I am, but Megan is smiling from molar to molar.

What is wrong with her?

“Doctor, what exactly is the good news?” I ask eagerly, with a million different thoughts on my mind.

I wonder what the good news is.

“Luna Reign is pregnant!”
