Alpha Hunter

Chapter 138

Hunter:

“Turner, please, don’t cry,” Mom has been trying to comfort him ever since he heard the interview. I’ve been feeling restless too. Our plan to visit Samuel’s castle got delayed because everybody kept saying it was Reyna’s plan to trap me. I just couldn’t believe she said all that, especially when she was being recorded. Didn’t she realize that her son might see the interview? That’s when I felt like something still wasn’t adding up.

“There’s no way Reyna would do that,” I muttered, shaking my head at the idea of Reyna choosing Samuel over me.

“Turner, why don’t you go and rest in your room?” My

y mom hinted for me to stop talking until she sent Turner away.

“No! I want to stay here. I want to be part of everything.” Turner protested, stubbornly folding his arms over his chest and refusing to

leave.

“It’s okay, Mom. Let him stay here,” I gestured to my mother to calm down and not to send him away. He was getting all worked up in his mother’s absence.

“He should know what’s up,” I added.

“The thing is, I don’t believe any of this interview,” I asserted.

“Hunter, it wouldn’t be the first time she’s chosen Samuel, I get that last time there wasn’t competition, but this time, Samuel must’ve filled her ears with nonsense, like you hurt Polline and all,” my mother reminded me of Reyna’s previous arguments before she left the pack.

“Got it. She hates me, but Samuel claimed that she had left Turner,” I mentioned, slowly rubbing my face with my hands.

“So, what do you think is going on?” my mom questioned.

My son watched my face, tears on his eyelashes.

“She’s acting,” I declared.

“What?” my mom seemed shocked, unsure of how to re

respond.

“Daddy’s right. She looked like she was faking a smile,” as my son confirmed that something was off about that video, my resolve strengthened.

“But why would she act? Is she trying to give us some signal or what?” my mom asked innocently.

“Maybe because I couldn’t entirely understand, but I had some thoughts about why she might be acting to choose Samuel, “the rogues hate me, and if she said she’s with me, they’ll attack her. Maybe she’s doing this for some reason,” I mumbled.

“Then why doesn’t she come back?” my mom inquired.

“If it were in her hands, she would. Which makes me wonder what’s going on there,” I sighed, nodding my head in understanding that we might need to do something sooner rather than later.

Chapter 138.

“I want to help too. I want to do something to help mommy come back, Turner jumped off the couch and stood with me

“I think it’s too dangerous for you to do anything Besides, right now, it’s night. You should rest too. We’ll wake up and see what needs to be done,” I told Turner, carrying him in my arms.

“Let’s tuck you in bed, and then we’ll see tomorrow, I repeated myself as I took him upstairs. I felt like tomorrow would come with new twist. I spent the entire day upset and hopeless, but now I had a new motivation. I convinced myself that Reyna was only acting to keep herself safe and alive. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“Now, I want you to close your eyes and sleep well. We’ll get your mother back home, I promise you that,” I tucked him in bed and leaned over him, ki*sing his forehead as I said goodnight to him.

“You don’t believe that she left us, right?” as I was about to walk away, I felt a little pull on my hand and found my son holding my

hand.

I stopped in my tracks and stared at his face before I opened my mouth and confidently stated, “No! I don’t believe that. Your mother would never do that to us.”

The confidence in my tone made him smile, and then he let go of my hand.

“Goodnight, Dad,” he closed his eyes while the smile stayed on his l*ps.

I left his room and walked down to sit in the living room and drink alone. My mother had already left for her bedroom. Now that I was alone, I couldn’t help but miss Reyna even more.

“If he had hurt her, I will make sure I end his life in the worst possible way, I muttered to myself, drinking from the wine bottle.

The more I drank, the more anxious I became. It was as if a part of me was pushing me to get out of here and visit Samuel’s castle. I nervously got up from the chair and put the bottle down. It was nighttime, and everyone was probably asleep.

“Maybe it’s better to go there and knock on the door- I was talking to myself anxiously when my phone beeped, and I saw Reyna’s name pop up on the screen, My heart sank in my chest at the sight of her name. I quickly grabbed my phone and opened her text.

My Queen: Hunter!

My eyes widened in shock, but before I could contact her, another message popped up.

My Queen: Don’t call my phone or text me. I’m trying to text very silently. I am cornered by Samuel, and the minute you come here with your guards, he said he will kill me.

Kill her? I clenched my fist and continued to stare at the phone anxiously.

My Queen: He has his eyes on you coming here with your guards. So please, don’t do that if you want to see me alive. I want to see my son, so please, I don’t want to die.

My Queen: He is going to mark me as his around 5 am by force. Just forget about me and marry someone who can take care of my son, not Tara. Have a great life!

I shook my head and groaned, my fists clenched. There is no way I would let her give up. If he is looking for guards, I will go alone.

I He will not even suspect me coming.
