CHAPTER FIVE.

MR LOGAN’S POV

A round of applause for me, the perfect schemer of all time. 

This is it.

 This is how I wanted things to turn out and I’m just a minute from exploding with joy. I have succeeded in separating that pompous Alpha boy from his mate. If Alpha Hardin mates with Reign, he will become stronger and more powerful than he already is and I don’t want that. He is already too strong and powerful for my liking and I don’t want him to get any stronger.

I am a very powerful werewolf leader and I hate having to take orders from a little boy all because he is Alpha and worst of all, my own daughter would have ruled over me in the name of being Luna.

What insolence!

You might be wondering how I knew that Reign was Alpha Hardin’s mate, well, it was easy. When Reign was still locked up, Wilma rarely visited her but one day, she decided to visit her and after their encounter, Wilma met with Alpha Hardin on her way to my sister’s house. He was attracted to the pheromone that emanated from her body which was Reign’s and he took interest in her. When she told me about this, I immediately understood that the Alpha had smelt Reign’s pheromone on her, that's why he was attracted to her. I then urged her to start visiting Reign more often and if possible, to start wearing her clothes and that did the trick, Alpha Hardin became more attracted to Wilma and by the time he met Reign, he was totally uninterested in her so he rejected her, but I knew that would not be enough to keep them apart forever. I know what a mate bond is, the Moon Goddess was not a fool to make soulmates for each werewolf, I knew that sooner or later, the Alpha will lose interest in Wilma and want to go back to his mate, that’s why I killed Wilma and framed Reign up and it went perfectly well. Now that the Alpha hates her, there’s no way he’ll ever think of accepting her as his mate.

He can never be as powerful as he would if he had Reign as his mate and I’m fine with that.

There’s a knock at my office door and when I signal the person to come in, one of my servants walks in.

“What do you want, Mayeva?”

“Master Logan” She calls with a slight bow. “Alpha Hardin is here to see you” She announces and at the mention of the name Alpha Hardin, my heart starts beating fast.

Why does the Alpha want to see me?

It’s never a good sign when the Alpha visits someone’s household unannounced.

“I’ll be right there.”

“Okay Master” She exits my office and I rush out to my bedroom where I change into black clothes. 

I need to appear like I’m mourning my daughter so he won’t have anything to suspect me about.

When I’m done, I leave my bedroom and take the flight of stairs leading to  the living room and when I get there, I meet Alpha Hardin seated on a couch in all his glory with three guards standing behind him.

“Gooday, Alpha.” I greet in my most formal tone as I bow my head down, not wanting to annoy him by looking into his eyes.

It is forbidden to talk to an Alpha while looking into his eyes.

“Gooday, Mr. Logan.” He greets as he crosses his left leg over the other.

One other thing I hate about this Alpha is the fact his mind is so blocked with his Alpha status that he finds it very difficult to respect elders. Everyone seems so small before him. Normally, it is wrong for someone to cross his or her leg in the presence of an elder, but this very immature and pompous Alpha sitting before me sees nothing wrong with that.

He seriously lacks all the basic manners and I can bet my life that there’s something fundamentally wrong with him.

“To what do I owe this very honorable visit from my Highly Esteemed Alpha?” I ask, flashing him a fake smile while internally rolling my eyes. I could even choke on my words. I hate the fact that I have to praise him, I hate the fact that everyone praises him.

“Mr. Logan, forgive me for showing up at your house unannounced.” He says with his deep Alpha voice as he leans forward on the couch. “I understand that you are mourning your lost daughter, Wilma, I personally came to condole with you”

“Thank you very much Alpha. Never in my life have I imagined that a day would come like this. If I had known Reign was this ballistic, I would never have let her out. I have lost two daughters within the twinkle of an eye. So sad.” I say, faking a shaky voice and a sad expression.

“It’s indeed sad. Even I cannot believe that the Moon Goddess paired me up with such a wicked soul. I would have to die before I forgive and accept her as my mate. I hope she never finds peace in that miserable life of hers” He curses bitterly and I smile internally. 

This is what I wanted, for him to hate his mate the way he does right now. Nothing in this entire world will ever bring them together again.

“And not to worry Mr. Logan, she has been punished accordingly and for as long as she lives, she will forever remember the punishment I gave her for killing her sister, my chosen mate”

“Thank you very much Alpha, as much as I would want to punish her, she is still my daughter and I know I won’t be able to give her the punishment she deserves. Thank you very much for handling this issue for me”

“I loved Wilma dearly, Mr. Logan, I couldn’t do otherwise. I understand that you have registered a great loss, but I  urge you to stay strong. The storm will soon be over. Wilma will forever be in our hearts. If you ever need anything, just pass by my castle and ask for it. I still consider you as my father-in-law and the doors of my castle will always be open to you.”

“Thank you ever much Alpha Hardin, I appreciate you for considering me as family”

“Don’t mention.” He says as he rises from his seat and straightens up his jacket.

He’s the exact photocopy of his father, the former Alpha of this pack who is now of late.

“I’ll take my leave now. Once more, accept my condolences for your lost daughter”

“Thank you very much Alpha Hardin” I say as I rise up from my seat with my head bowed down.

“See you around” Then he motions his guards to follow him.

I let out a sinister chuckle the moment they all exit my living room.

This is exactly how I wanted things to go. Now he thinks Reign killed his lover, so he despises her and I know that right now, wherever Reign is, she hates him with all her heart for accusing and torturing her for a crime she did not commit.

Mate against mate.

Alpha against Luna.

Let’s see how this goes.
