Chapter 109 Reyna Cruz: Hunter had left and didn’t return the entire night. I tried calling him, but it was of no use since he had left his phone back home. Eventually, I lay down with my son, and while waiting for Hunter’s arrival, I fell asleep. I woke up to Turner gently nudging me to get my attention. “Hmm?” I sleepily rubbed my eyes, and when I opened them, I saw my son sitting on the bed, staring at my face. “Mom! Where is dad?” He seemed so concerned that I quickly blinked away the sleep and cleared my throat to answer him. “He left last night to go for a run in the woods,” “So why hasn’t he returned yet?” He sounded so sad when questioning me. I checked the time and realized it was already 10 am. “Oh shoot!” I quickly got out of bed and gestured at Turner to follow me. I was worried about that myself. Why wouldn’t Hunter have returned already? “Lets get ready for the day and then we can go ask for Hunter, okay?” I told Turner, decoding to freshen up first. I helped Turner get a shower and freshen up while I fixed myself up in the next few minutes. By the time we were ready and heading downstairs, I found Mrs. Sparrow in the garden with breakfast being served for all of us. “Good morning,” she smiled at us, but her smile faded when she noticed Turner with his lips curled downwards. “What happened to my prince? Come here,” she held her arms up for him, and he landed in her embrace. Before I could let her know that Hunter had left and never come back, she brought it up herself. “By the way, I woke up to Hunter calling me from a call booth,” she said, fixing Turner’s hair, who got intrigued by the news. “Why didn’t he come home? Why call you?” I should have kept those questions to myself because itConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
seemed like I was more concerned about why he didn’t call me directly. “I don’t know, I just woke up to him calling my phone. He told me he was having a transition crisis, so he had to stay longer in the woods, and that we don’t need to worry about his absence as he is not leaving the pack,” she explained, and Turner sighed in relief. I wasn’t fully satisfied with it. What did he mean by transition crisis? He told me he was transforming. The alpha king doesn’t take time. And even if he does, it has to be only a few minutes or at most, hours if it was because of his condition. However, I kept my calm and attended breakfast in silence. So I guessed I would ask him the burning questions once he returns now. But before that, I sat down with my son to ask him something. Ever since Sam accused Hunter of all those things, I couldn’t help but wonder what Hunter and Turner talked about the other day when Hunter went into his room. It was the day after our wedding. “Turner!” I gave him a smile, crouching behind him while he colored the superheroes in his drawing book. “Remember when your dad and you talked in the room the other day? That secret meeting you two had?” I tried to sound cheerful so that he knows he is not in trouble. “Yes!” He raised his brow at me, looking so cute when trying to act suspicious. “May I ask what you two talked about?” I inquired, watching him shake his head. “Hmm! I feel like you two are leaving me out. You two made a team and I am not even allowed in the private meetings,” I continued in a little tone, and my son turned around to face me. 1/3 O GM Chapter 109 “Mommy! It was about you, silly. We never left you out, it’s just that it was something we were doing for you,” as expected, he blurted out when watching me look all sad. “Huh? For me? How?” I felt like I was up for a great surprise. Why was Hunter talking to Turner about me? And what could it possibly be about?
“What about me? I forced a smile, watching my son slap his forehead. “How to make you stay here. Daddy said we need to make this place so good for you that you realize you don’t want to go back home to the rogue community again,” he replied, and a little jolt in my heart made me go silent for a minute. What my son was saying sounded just like what Sam had accused Hunter of. Obviously, Hunter didn’t use the more brutal words like to make the rogue community unsafe for my stay “Ah! Okay, then it’s fine,” 1 forced a smile and patted his back. He continued to draw while I stayed behind him with my eyes. in space. I don’t know what’s going on, but Reyna, you need to just relax a little. Your mind has been going in circles, and it will only make you sick if you don’t quit worrying. Nera was probably worried for me. But how could I be at peace when my mate had been going around committing crimes and playing games? Is Hunter really that evil?’ I mumbled as I felt tears form in my eyes. Let’s wait for him to come back. He must be healed, so it will be easy for us to talk about these issues with him again. But right now, I want to ask you something else. Something that Sam asked us. What is our plan? Let’s just say Hunter did do all that, then what? It’s not like we can stop him. He has full custody of our son, and he will never let us go. But let’s just assume. if it’s all one big misunderstanding and Hunter had not done any of it. Then what? Do you plan to stay with him? And what about Sam! She raised a question that made me bury my face in my hands and let out a sigh onto my palm. I was deeply disturbed and worried about what to do. I don’t know. I’m so mad at Hunter that if I could, I would run away with my son, I hissed but refused to act on my plan since my son would refuse to go, and then Hunter would chase after me until he found me. My thoughts were interrupted when I received a call from Samuel. I knew he must be calling me to ask what I learned from Hunter. “Hey,” I answered the phone and stepped away from my son. Mrs. Sparrow had approached Turner with some snacks and sat down beside him on the couch to enjoy the fresh air in the garden.
“Reyna!” His voice was low but in a way that made chills run up my spine. “Is everything okay?” I asked in worry. “I am going to tell you something, but I want you to–sit down first, he uttered with much difficulty. Even forming one full sentence seemed like a hard job for him. “Sam” What’s up? You are scaring me now,” I was getting anxious at how he was trying to comfort me before he told me the news “Reyna! Polline, he had only said that much, and my head began to swirl around. “What happened to her?” I felt my words come out in gasps. Fear had engulfed me like fire eating wood. “She–somebody set her house on fire,” he finished, and that was the moment that I dropped to my knees and began to hyperventilate. “Reyna! Are you okay?” Mrs. Sparrow yelled from afar. Even my son ran in my direction, but I was just unable to respond anymore. It was like everything was going on, and the only person who was the most innocent in this war got attacked. 2/3 ||| r GM Chapter 109 “Reyna!” Mrs. Sparrow shook me awake, and I looked her way with big teary eyes. “Somebody set–Poline’s house on fire. I couldn’t even comprehend that I needed to ask Sam if she was okay. Maybe she was not even in the house at that time, but then why was he so worried about sharing that news with me? 3/3
