REIGN’S POV.

REIGN’S POV.

“SEAN!” I call in horror as I rush over to my mentor who is groaning in pain as he tries to rise from the floor. “Oh my God I'm so sorry.” I apologise from the depth of my heart with pity filled in my heart.

“Reign, how many times have I told you not to apologise when this happens? I’m used to this and besides, it’s training and getting beat tup by you means I'm doing my job properly. Your father will be proud.” He tells me with a big smile on his face and sadness overwhelms me at the mention of my father’s name.

Being extraordinarily powerful should have its perks, but so far, I haven’t seen any perks or pros, just cons. I see my extraordinary strength as a curse. I am the most powerful werewolf in my family and dare I say, my entire pack, except for the Alpha.

At least that’s what my father told me. My mother died at childbirth because of my powers and since then, my father has despised my entire existence.

He hid me from the public until I turned four years old and when I did, he hired a mentor who has been with me for fourteen years now, teaching me how to control and use my strength the right way. I have never been out there in the world. My father has a big mansion and I stay locked up and heavily guarded in it. For eighteen years, I have been locked up in here. I have just one friend, who’s my mentor and my elder sister, Wilma, comes to see me in my secluded section once in a while, when she’s in a good mood.

She doesn’t like me very much.

My father never comes to see me. It’s been years since I last saw him.

I am his greatest nemesis.

“Why are you lost in thought?” I shake out of my thoughts and look up at my mentor who is smiling down at me.

“Well…” Shrugs. “I’m just thinking about how boring my my life is.” He smiles.

“We both know that’s will change when tomorrow comes.” A bright smile forms on my face when he says that.

Tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday and it is also the day my father will let me go out there and live like a normal werewolf girl with my fellow pack members. If I'm lucky, I will be able to find my mate and we will leave happily ever after.

Just the thought of that makes my smile again. I hop over to the nearby couch and perch on it, still fantasising about how tomorrow is going to look like, but it doesn’t take long before nervousness overwhelms me. I shoot Sean a perplexed glance and he creases his brows. He knows me more than anyone else in this world, so he knows right now, I'm nervous.

“What are you nervous about?” His voice is calm as he asks and sits beside me.

“What if other people get scared of me when they find out about my strength? What if they hate me like my father does? What if I have a hard time out there?” I give him worried looks as I ask those very disturbing questions. He sighs and places a hands on my shoulder.

“Wanna hear some bitter truth?” I nod my head in silence. “Not everyone out there will like you and you will have some very hard times. Good thing is, everyone else experiences these things, all you have to do is try to focus on the good side of things. Focus on the people who will like you and on the things that make you happy. You are a good girl, Reign. You are brave, confident… you are beautiful, both in and out and well mannered. If anyone dislikes you, it’s their loss. So, don't overthink things and just live life one day at a time. You are a wonder.”

Sean always has a way to suppress my nervous and let my confidence sprout and grow healthily.

He is my knight in shinning armour.

“Thank you for these words of encouragement. You are the best!” I crash into his chest and he wraps his arms around me, giving me a big bear hug.

“Isadora Reign Callan!” A familiar voice calls from the door and I shake in fear, disengaging myself from Sean’s hug. We both look at the door, only to see my sister standing by it with a fat smile on her face.”

“Wilma.” I call in shock. It has been months since she last came to see me. I wonder why she is here.

“I’ll excuse you girls.” Sean leaves the training room and Wilma rushes over to me looking all excited and giddy. The moment she sits by my side, she tilts her neck to the side and pushes off the chunk of hair away from her neck, completely exposing the side of her neck that’s visible to me.

There’s a bright red mark on the neck and looks like a bite. I gasp in fear as I look at her.

“What happened to you? Who bit your neck?” I ask in horror and her smile only widens. Now I'm confused.

Isn’t she supposed to be in pain? Why then is she smiling so widely?

“Don’t be silly, Reign. I got marked by the Alpha, my boyfriend.”

“Marked? As in, he has chosen you as his mate even though you are not?” I ask innocently and she nods so hard that I fear her head will fall off her neck. “But… but I thought male werewolves can only mark she-wolves who are their destined mates.” There’s is a confused look on my face and my sister is not helping things by smiling the way she is right now.

“Well, I thought so too, but Alpha Hardin Alonso just proved otherwise.”

“But… the last time you were here, you told me you found your mate, how then did…”

“I rejected him.” She cuts me off and my eyes snap wide open. “He’s nothing compared to the Alpha, so I rejected him.”

“No you did not! What about theAlpha? Did he also reject his mate?” I ask in complete shock.

“He hasn't found his mate yet, but he told me he would reject her the moment he finds her because I am the one he wants to be with. He has chosen me.” She is still smiling widely and I still have my frown on because this makes no sense.

Sean has explained this whole mate saga to me and he made me understand that mates were assigned by the moon goddess. Rejecting one’s destined mate to be with someone else is disobeying the moon goddess and that is tantamount to severe punishment.

The Alpha of all people.

“Why that look? I thought you’d be happy for me.”

What?

I give a surprised look.

“I’m actually really scared for the two of you, Wilma. There will be consequences and I feel bad for the two people you have displaced. Your mate must be devastated right now and Alpha Hardin’s mate will be crushed when he rejects her.”

“That’s their problem to deal with.” She says nonchalantly. “The most important thing is that the Alpha has chosen me. I’m going to be the Luna of this pack!” She squeals excitedly and I just keep shaking my head.

She has definitely lost her mind if she thinks what they just did should be celebrated.

“So, you aren’t happy for me.” She calmly states and I shrug.

“I’m scared for you.” I tell her flatly. “I don't think you’ll be able to handle it if this backfires.”

The smile on her face disappears and she rises to her feet, giving me a hard glare.

“You know, you really don’t have to be such a sadist. I came here, hoping you’ll be happy for me as my sister, but it's clear you aren’t. Have a nice day!” She starts marching towards the door.

“Wilma!” I call out worriedl

Once she’s out, she slams the door hard behind her.

Was I too blunt?

CHAPTER TWO

The Story Continues

MR. CALLAN’S POV.

I am sitting on one of the couches in my bedroom, sipping wine from the glass in my hand and completely lost in thought. My daughter, Reign is going to turn eighteen tomorrow and things are going to change for this entire pack if nothing is done.

There is a Legend which states that once in every after one thousand years, there’s going to be a war between packs for power and riches and fame and that war is going to be sparked by the birth of a very powerful She-wolf that would be born in the pack that won the previous fight

That pack is my pack, the Diamond Stone Pack and that she-wolf is my daughter, Reign.

She has extraordinary strength. Her mother even died at childbirth because of the powers that the child wielded. I have succeeded in making sure no one else, except for me, my daughters and Sean knows that Reign is exceptionally powerful because I don’t want to raise suspicions about the upcoming war.

Everyone else thinks it is a myth since it has been so long since it happened and I want it to remain that way.

I hate the current Alpha, Alpha Hardin Alonso and I don’t want him to win the Elemental Fight of this Millennium. I have made plans with another Alpha to mate with Reign first so that he would wield those powers and defeat Alpha Hardin during the War.

Yes, my daughter Reign is mated to our Alpha, Alpha Hardin.

She is excited to meet her mate tomorrow, but that is not going to happen. I have a whole different plan in mind for her and if it works, that will be the end of Alpha Hardin and my plan will be set in motion.

“Dad!” A call snaps me out of my thoughts and I look up to see my daughter, Wilma, standing in front of me, looking worried. “Dad, is everything alright?” She asks concerned as she sits by my side.

“Yes love, everything is alright.” I lie.

“I don’t believe you dad, you were completely lost in thought when I walked in so don’t tell me everything is alright.” She says in a firm tone and I smile.

She looks just like her mother. Both girls look just like their mother especially when in a bad mood.

“Well, I’m just thinking about your sister.”

“That’s strange. You never think of or bother about Reign. What’s wrong? You think you’ll miss her when you let her go?” She asks sarcastically.

She knows how I feel about her sister. I don't like her very much, despite the fact that she is my daughter.

“That’s just a very superficial reason, Wilma. Very superficial. The reason behind my sudden overthinking is deeper than anyone can imagine.” I explain and Wilma looks at me confused.

“Dad, I’m confused.”

“Wilma.” I call and turn to face her on the couch we are both seated on.

“Yes dad.”

“I want you to spend the night in your sister’s room today. Have her cuddled up your arms and tomorrow, I want you to wear one of her clothes for the party.”

Wilma frowns.

“You have been asking me to do that a lot lately. Why?” She asks with creased brows.

“There is a reason why I asked you to get close with Alpha Hardin. The night before you met Alpha Hardin at the castle during the annual ball, I asked you to do the same thing. Spend the night with you sister cuddled up in your arms and wear her clothes. During the party, the Alpha mistook you for his mate, why do you think that happened?” I ask and she shrugs her shoulders, indicating she has no idea. “Because he smelled your sister’s pheromone on you and thought you were his mate.”

“Dad.” She calls quietly. “Are you trying to say Reign is mated to Alpha Hardin?” she asks lifelessly.

“Yes. She is. That’s why I asked you to get close to Alpha Hardin and now that he has marked you as his, everything is on track.”

“No! She can’t be! How are you even sure about that?”

“It’s a long theory that I’m going to tell you’d if you just calm down and listen to me” I explain and she stays still. She looks like she is going to burst into tears anytime soon.

“Alright dad.” Her voice is shaky. “I’m all ears.”

“Good, have you ever heard of the Battle of the Elementals?”

“Yeah, but it’s a myth, right?” She asks and I chuckle with my head bowed down. “Dad, what’s funny?” She questions in confusion and I lift my head up to look at her.

“What if I told you it’s not.”

“What?”

“Yeah, it’s not and just so you could know, this is the generation that has to fight that battle.” I spit out fiercely and Wilma is taken aback.

“No! No!” She denies and laughs. “Dad, you’re joking, this is one of your crazy jokes right?” She asks laughing harder.

“Do I look like I’m joking?” I put on my most serious look. She stops laughing. The cheerful look on her face disappears and is replaced with horror.

Now, she knows I’m serious.

“Dad, you are serious.” She says breathlessly.

“I am.”

“So, that means as we are now, there’s a fire, a water, an air and an earth Elemental roaming the various packs?”

“As a matter of fact, yes, there is.”

“Sweet Moon goddess! And there’s a miracle Luna somewhere who has got all these powers?”

“Exactly! The most horrific part is that, she is not just somewhere, she is in here with us.”

“Dad, who is that?” She asks aghast.

“Your sister, Reign. She is the Miracle Luna.” I announce and Wilma’s breath hitches in her lungs.

“No way!” She flatly denies it.

“That’s the truth, but I have a plan. I don’t want her getting marked by Alpha Hardin because if that happens, he will get all her powers as well and they will be invincible. He will win this war. ”

“Me too dad. Like this is so unfair to me! My mate is someone ordinary, but here she is about to be mated to the Alpha of our pack. In addition to that, she has powers that will have everyone crawling at her feet including you and I. I don’t want her to rule over me, dad. I never ever want to call her Luna!” Wilma cries and I totally understand her.

“And that won’t happen if you do as I say”

“I will do anything you say dad, I will do anything at all.”

“That’s my girl. You see, Alpha Hardin’s family has been in Supreme power for too long now and I want that power to change hands, that’s why I have sided with Alpha Adolf of the Black River Pack for this battle.”

“But that’s our enemy pack. Both Alpha Adolf and Alpha Hardin don’t see to eye.”

“That’s all the more reason why I sided with Alpha Adolf. I want him to take down this self satisfied strut called Alpha Hardin.”

“So, how do you plan to do that?”

“There’s a reason why I insisted we kept your sister’s extraordinary strength a secret from all the others. You know everyone thinks this battle a myth, but if they know that a powerful She-wolf has been born, they’ll start asking questions and sooner or later, they’ll realise the truth and start preparing for war. I don’t want that to happen. I want this to be sudden and brief. I want Alpha Adolf to attack once and conquer.”

“Then what happens to us?”

“Don’t worry about that Wilma, none of my daughters will be harmed”

“Alright then, so what do I have to do?”

“First, I have invited Alpha Hardin over for your sister’s birthday party.”

“Don’t you think everything will be ruined if he sees Reign. He’ll know she’s his true mate and he might accept her and leave me.”

“I have everything planned out, Wilma don’t worry about that part. That won’t happened. Just trust me and do as I’ve instructed.”

“So what will happen to Reign after that?” She asks and I just smile and stay silent.

I can’t tell her because if I do, she will back out and even report me to Alpha Hardin. My plan after that is not pleasant at all that’s why I need to keep it a secret.

“That shouldn’t bother you, I’ll take it from there, but just know before the war comes, I’ll make sure you are far away from this pack and safe.”

“Alright dad, I’ll do just as you have instructed.”

“That’s my girl. That’s all what I summoned you for, you can go to bed.”

“Goodnight dad.” She pecks my cheek and exits the office.

A heavy sigh escapes my lips when she shuts the door behind her. My heart bleeds because what I have to do to her and her sister tomorrow is cruel, but I must do it.

Anything for power!
