Chapter 33
Hardin’S POV
Anger.
Anger is all I feel right now. They just won’t stop molesting her. I have tried to pay a blind eye to that but I don’t think I can anymore. A part of me dies every time she walks in here with bruises or finger prints on her cheeks.
No one has the right to hit her, but me. No one has the right to inflict pain on her, most especially her very own mates. They are going to get it hit from me.
I walk helter-skelter about my office, impatiently waiting for the two girls I summoned and when the door opens, I turn around abruptly, hoping to see them walk in so I can declare their punishment and be at ease already but instead, I see Miguel walk in with a pile of paper work in his hands. I just let out a heavy sigh of frustration as I keep pacing about.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Well, good day to you too” He greets enthusiastically as he drops the pile of papers on the table.
“What are those?”
“Uh, reports of every seven year old pup that’s going to graduate into the next training level. You need to review and sign them before Friday”
“Alright then”
“That said, why the hell do you look so worked up?” He asks concerned and I just shake my head. “I’m not taking that as an answer, come on, tell me what’s wrong”
“Reign is being bullied by some shewolves called Anastasia and Giselle! When I summoned her here this morning, she came in with finger prints on her cheek”
“Oh…” He says exclaims as he shoots me an unsure look. “So why are you pacing about in here when you should be punishing them? It’s against the law to bully a fellow pack member”
“I have asked Dylan and Griffin to bring them to me.”
“Oh okay. You need to calm down though, one could thing that something very terrible has happened.”
“Well it has!” I scold and he jumps in fright as he takes a step backwards. “It has okay, no one, I repeat no one has the right to fucking lay his or her hands on my…” I suddenly stop before I can blurt out the last word.
“On your…?” He inquires and I shake my head as I turn away.
“You should leave now!” I order and he quietly walks out of my office and I let out a heavy sigh of frustration.
I was going to say “my mate”. Something I’ve been denying ever since I found out, but today I almost said it.
What exactly is Reign doing to me?
Soon, the door creaks open and two guards walk in with both girls following them closely.
“Good day Alpha Hardin” They all greet in unison and the moment I turn and look at the girls, I fight my urge to and hit them mercilessly. The only thing I can picture is them hitting Reign.
I’m so furious right now that I cannot wait to have them locked up and punished.
“Dylan and Griffin, you can leave us now” I order and they both bow down and leave without uttering a word.
My eyes divert to both girls and I almost explode out of anger when I see them smiling. They have no idea why they are here, that’s why they have the audacity to smile in this very crucial moment of their lives.
When I’m done with them, they’ll never see reason to lay hands on Reign ever again.
“Anastasia and Giselle, am I right?” I ask with a raised brow as I turn to face them.
“Yes Alpha” They both answer in unison, still smiling.
“So, who is Anastasia and who is Giselle?”
“I am Anastasia” The red-haired girl points out and I just nod my head.
“I’m Giselle” The blond girl indicates and I nod as well.
“How old are you Anastasia?” I ask curious and she blushes so hard that I can actually feel her cheeks turn oxblood.
“I’m eighteen years old” She asks and I look at her in awe. She doesn’t look eighteen at all, she looks twenty six and above!
The actual hell!
“Eighteen?” I ask in shock and she nods her head. “I see… and you Giselle?”
“Eighteen as well Alpha Hardin” She replies and I nod. Well, she looks eighteen.
“I see…” I say nodding. “Who are your mates?” I ask curious .
“My mate is Caleb, the head trainer of the under age wolves” Anastasia replies eagerly.
Caleb, I know him. He’d have to excuse me for what I’m about to do to his mate.
“And you Giselle”
“Joshua, he works at the pack hospital with Doctor Karl”
“Is he a doctor?”
“Not yet, Alpha, he’s still an intern”
“I see…” I say nodding and both girls exchange confused glances. “So, if I may ask, what exactly is your problem with Reign?” I ask and they both look at me confused.
“Reign Logan?” Anastasia asks with a disgusted look.
“Yes, Reign Logan”
“Well, she’s a murderer and I hate the way she goes about carrying herself like she’s superior to all of us. She is nothing but a cruel murderer” She spits out bitterly and I cross my hands over breast and stare at her in wonder.
This is actually interesting.
“So, how exactly does she go about carrying herself high up?”
“No specific way, but the way she walks and talks says it all, and also, she always has this aura of dominance around her that always seems to intimidate me”
“Oh… so, just her existence intimidates you” I conclude and she nods. “So that’s why you girls have taken it upon yourselves to bully her every now and then, aye?”
“Alpha, I won’t actually call it bullying, she deserves everything that we do to her, she killed her sister”
“So you both have decided to take the law into your hands by beating her up every now and then” I conclude and they both look at me quietly. “What does the law say about inflicting pain on a fellow werewolf member” I ask as I stare and then intensely.
“The law says it’s forbidden for a fellow werewolf to lay his or hands on another” Giselle states and I smile in satisfaction.
“I’m glad you remember, so what is the punishment for anyone who goes against that rule?”
“He or she will be locked in the dungeon for a week and will do hard labor the entire day on the fields with the agricultural department” Giselle states yet again and I nod in agreement.
I’m impressed.
“Good. I’m glad you remember the rule and it’s punishment. In my pack, no matter how wrong a fellow werewolf is, you have absolutely no right to take the law into your hands and torture or molest him or her, you girls very well know this, but you still went ahead to break my rule and for that reason, you will be punished accordingly.” I declare and they both look at me with pleading eyes but dare not to utter a word because they know if they do, their punishment will be double. “Dylan, you both can come in” I mind link Dylan and immediately, the door opens and he walks in with Griffin.
“Here we are, Alpha Hardin”
“Take both girls to the dungeon and have them locked up for a week and make sure they join the farmers everyday on the fields. Is that understood?”
“Yes, Alpha Hardin”
“You can leave now” I order and they all exit my office.
I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I walk over to my wine bar where I pour myself a shot of vodka and gulp it down a go and shot my eyes tightly as the whiskey burns down my throat into my stomach.
Henceforth, no one hurts Reign and goes Scott-free.
No one!
