Alpha Hunter

Chapter 137

Reyna Cruz:

It’s been two hours since I woke up, and I haven’t asked Samuel again to take me back home even once, I realized that if I didn’t

mention it at least once, b

might suspect something is wrong.

“Hey, you’re still up,” Sam said as he walked by the living room and spotted me with the TV on.

“I’m getting bored,” I sighed, pouting and looking cute.

*So, what do you plan to do to shake off that boredom?” he asked, slowly making his way towards the couch where I was sitting with

my legs up and crossed.

“I think I’m going to watch a movie,” I tapped the remote control against my chin, pretending to ponder which one to watch.

“How’s your back?” he inquired as he sat down.

“It hurts. That’s part of the reason why I can’t sleep. It gives

s me so much pain, and then I unintentionally wake up whenever I’m about to lie down on the wound,” I sighed, rambling on im one breath.

I winced as I attempted to stretch my hand back to

to scratch my back.

“Hey, what are you doing?” he instantly slapped the back of my hand to stop me.

“Samuel! It itches a lot. I’m just so annoyed,” I grunted, trying to sound normal, then threw the remote control onto the sofa.

“Okay! You need to calm down. You sound stressed out,” he mirrored the irritation I wanted to convey with my mood. That was part of the plan.

“Of course, I’m stressed out. My back hurts, I’m unable to heal, and then–every time I want to go back home, something happens. It’s like the Moon Goddess doesn’t want me to go back there,” I said through heavy breaths, noticing that he zoned out a little.

“You think it’s like a warning or something?” he raised his brow when asking that question.

“Don’t you think it is? Or else, why else would I be in this much pain and not be able to go back? It’s not like I’m in some different realm. It should have been easy for me to be back in the mansion by now,” I rambled, shifting my position to face him on the couch.

“Aha!” he couldn’t say much. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Why? Don’t you think that too? Things have been happening weirdly, and neither my son nor Hunter has contacted you to ask about me. I don’t know, I feel like something is awfully wrong,” I buried my face in my hands, trying to understand if I was staying within the lines or going too far.

“That’s what I was thinking too. Nobody has contacted me till now. I was expecting your son to reach out to you, but he didn’t,” Samuel finally caught on and was adding his views.

“It’s so confusing. I’m beginning to wonder if–Hunter is the reason my son is unable to contact me,” I uncovered my face and then frowned.

ד

I’m sure his father wouldn’t try to control him. But since Hunter has been doing so many crappy things, we can’t be certain,” Sam pouted, secretly making me clench my jaw at him. He had the nerve to act like he was agreeing with me when deep down, he must have known what I am describing is what is happening to me. Samuel has me under his control

“Then today, when I was that close to leaving, my cellphone got lost. There’s no way it’s a coincidence; the Moon Goddess is stopping me from going back there,” I sighed as I rubbed my face in my hands, giving him some time to think of another lie.

“So, what do you plan to do? I mean, you’re not wrong. Everything points to the fact that something is definitely not okay,” he nodded his head, easily siding with me now that I was speaking out against Hunter.

“You still want to go back there even when the Moon Goddess doesn’t want you to?” he raised his brow, sighing.

“Sam, what else can I do? I’m not healing here, and my son is there, I mumbled.

“Your son–can’t you record a message for him to ask him to come here and live with you? As for the healing part, I can help you with that once Turner comes here. I’m pretty sure it’s weakness and the fact that your wolf is upset about being away from your son,” he made up a whole scenario that made no sense. Who did he think I was? Some newly formed werewolf who didn’t know how things

work?

I was honestly speechless for a moment before I acted like it was such a good idea. Why didn’t I come up with it?

“But why can’t I just FaceTime him?” I inquired.

“Because they’re not picking up our calls, remember?” he raised his brow, obviously intimidated the minute I questioned him.

“Hmm, then how will he see the video?” I could tell that every time I questioned him, he got a little annoyed. He was such a controlling person, but I had never felt that way before. He was good at masking his true colors.

“I will find a way to have Turner get the video. Leave that to me. Just record the video,” he suggested, and at that moment, I began to feel a little worried. I wouldn’t ever want my son to come here. I nodded my head until I pretended to have thought of something.

“My son is in love with his dad. I don’t think he will keep that video a secret and will show it to his father the minute he gets it. And then Hunter will think I am stealing Turner from him, so he will start poisoning my son’s ears against me even more,” I covered my mouth as I dramatically gasped at my own statement. At this point, I was certain that my son was safer with Hunter than he could ever be safe here.

“Then what do you want to do? You want your son, but then you don’t want to do anything.” Samuel had a very blunt look on his face

that I couldn’t crack.

“I want to heal first so that if it comes to the point that I have to fight for my son, I will be able to do it I mumbled determinedly and noticed a little smirk covering Samuel’s face. He looked satisfied.

“So, you don’t want to go back?” he questioned, and I shook my head.

“No, Samuel, the Moon Goddess always hints me in the right direction. If she doesn’t want me to go back, I won’t, I pressed my lips tightly after telling him about my decision, and he looked so happy

that it creeped me out.
