THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Hardin’S POV

Once I regain my strength, I hastily exit the room Kol had succeeded in hiding me in so the others won’t get to me.

After Killing the water Elemental, I lost all my strength. That is same thing that happened to Reign when she severely wounded Reed, she even went unconscious.

Actually, the normal Elementals can only stop each other’s effects from taking place, like the fact that water Elemental can stop a fire caused by the fire Elemental but they can’t hurt each other.

But since Reign and I have all powers combined, we can hurt them but that will come at great loss of strength. I don’t know why it’s so, but it’s so.

As I walk to the field, I am greatly impressed by what I see. Kol, Aloha Damien the soldiers have done a great job fighting our enemies and they are all dead.

I spot Alpha Ralph’s body lying naked in cold blood, sale with Alpha Lance’s. Dead bodies of soldiers are scattered all over and I swear right now I’m fighting my urge to scream.

“Let me go!” I hear a man scream and when I turn to look, I see Mr. Callan bundled up in Kol’s strong arms.

“Look who I found hiding in the woods” Kol announces and I walk towards them.

Despite everything going on, this beasts of a man doesn’t look sorry at all.

“Kneel!” I order and when he hesitates, Kol forcefully pushes him to the ground and he gets on his knees and looks up at me with blood red eyes.

If he could, he would eat me up with his yes her and now, but unfortunately for him, that cannot happen!

“Hello Father-in-law” I greet sarcastically and he spits in disgust.

“I am not your father-in-law!”

“It’s actually a shame to have a man like you as my father-in-law, Callan. Now how are you going to die?”

“You can’t kill me in my own pack, that is against the law!”

“Do you think about that’s when you ordered your daughter Louisa? Did you?” I roar in anger and he just keeps staring daggers at me. “You have no answers do you? You betrayed your pack! You killed one of your daughters and framed the other for committing the crime. You connived with other Alphas to fight against your very own pack, to have your own Alpha killed! Even hell will be ashamed to have a man of your nature, Mr. Callan!”

“Hardin!” I here Reign’s familiar voice call and I turn to look at her. She rushes over to and crashes into my arms. I feel her body stiffen in my arms when she sees her father kneeling on the ground. She slowly disengages herself from my hug and walk towards him. When she is close enough, she does the unexpected. She gives him two very solid slaps in the face and steps behind.

“I want him dead, like now!” She commands and without hesitation, Alpha Damien steps forward and chops off his head with his sword. She closes her eyes and I take her into my arms. I expect her to burst into tears but she doesn’t.

That’s nice!

“Surprise!” Miguel hypes he approaches with Lloyd, the earth elemental bundle up in his arms with his hands bounded.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

With his hands bounded together. Miguel forces him to get on his knees against his will and I can’t help but laugh.

Victory tests so good!

“How are you feeling right Lloyd?”

“Like a hero!” He says confidently and I nod as I walk towards him.

“Brave statement there”

“Thanks for the compliment” He says sarcastically and I shake my head as I walk away. Something catches my attention.

I bright light seems to be flying towards us as it draws nearer, I can see the shape of a stick. Everyone is terrified as we all exchange confused glances.

As the stick comes Closer to me, that’s when I realize it’s the staff of edification. It stops before me and that’s a signal that I’ve won and it’s time for me to hold the staff so the powers will be unlocked but I hesitate to hold it.

This is the staff of edification we are talking about and right now it’s shining so bright that the thought of holding it and getting all the power it has to give out terrifies me.

Of sweet Moon goddess, give me strength to be able to use this power wisely.

“Go one babe, hold it” Reign urges and I turn to look at the others who nod their heads.

I turn again to the staff and let out a heavy sigh as I make up my mind to hold it.

I have read ancient books about this battle, I have read about great Alphas who have won this battle, Alphas who happen to be my ancestors. Never did I ever think that I would be in that same position someday, but here I am, just a few moments away from holding the staff of edification and getting all the powers in it.

I hope my ancestors are proud of me.

I hope I didn’t let them down

And I swear that I’m not going to miss use these powers I’m about to get.

My ancestors did not, so I won’t.

Slowly, carefully, I stretch my hand forward to the staff and the moment my fingers fully wrap around it, everything changes!
