Chapter 65
Hunter:
She kept giggling and stepping closer and closer to Samuel. My heart seemed to have stopped beating at that moment. But it’s not like I didn’t know this would happen. I had acknowledged this when Samuel asked Jeffrey if there was a place where he could buy the best rings from. He also made reservations in front of Jeffrey. That’s how I was able to go there with my son and Tara. I wanted to ruin their night a little. I hoped that maybe after seeing me and my son there, Samuel would delay the plans, but that didn’t work.
Those hours of them fussing over each other like a new couple made me burn from the inside out. We parted ways after two hours of their casual engagement. But I had been restless. I haven’t even been able to speak to my son, who was also eerily silent this whole time.
“She is so shameless,” Tara commented under her breath, making sure she doesn’t raise her voice and makes Turner hear her, who was probably not even able to listen because he kept dozing off.
“She did so wrong to her first mate. But instead of being guilty of her actions, she was enjoying the date tonight and that too, in front of your eyes,” she continued. There were times when I thought of dropping her off but it was too late and she wouldn’t even be able to get an uber so I just let her yammer out of her as*s.
They will be together tonight, my wolf howled in pain, making me clench my fists as I got out of the car and opened the door to the passenger seat to carry my son inside. Turner had fallen asleep in the car. I guess he was not only exhausted but heartbroken too. I saw him look at them with big teary eyes.
“You’re not even going to open the door for me now? Just when thought I could take my son upstairs and call it quits for the night, Tara followed me.
ing my son?” I hissed at her, not able to understand how blind and stupid one could be.
“What? Don’t you
you see!
I am carrying my
“I can see that. But can’t you take a minute before carrying him just so that you could be a gentleman and open the door for me?” she almost hissed back before realizing my frown was getting bigger.
“I will not talk to you tonight. Just make sure you keep your distance from me, I warned her since I was really low at the moment. However, it seemed like she was not over yet. But instead of letting her talk, I took big steps towards the staircase to tuck Turner in the bed.
As I laid him down, I noticed that he had opened his eyes and was watching me.
“Why can’t mom marry you?” he whispered, making goosebumps appear on my skin. I didn’t expect him to be straightforward, but that was the beauty of my son; he was not only innocent and pure but also very honest.
“I don’t think it can ever happen,” I uttered sadly.
“But why?” he questioned.
“It’s complicated,” I murmured, feeling defeated.
“Is it because of “Tara and Samuel? Turner sat up, holding my hand to make me sit with him. “Your mother is happy with that man,” I didn’t even want to say his name after he acted like my enemy. I get it that the moon goddess gave him my ex- mate, but he never even approached me to make sure I was fine with the news. It seemed like he was just too obnoxiously contented with Jumself.
“But I don’t think you and I are happy. Why can’t we do something to make her marry you?” My son was saying all the right things, but I didn’t want to involve him directly in this game.
“I want Tara gone too” As soon as he said that, the door opened, and the evil woman walked in with her eyes bugged out and her face red. I noticed my son scratching my skin as he held my hand tightly. He seemed afraid of her, reminding me of

know, I
what had happened between them in the office. Tara must have thought that she got away with it, but little did she kno was going to ditch her in the most brutal way.
“What is it?” I asked her, eyeing her for interrupting our time and barging in without knocking on the door.
“I wanted to speak to you.” However, much contrary to her physical appearance, her tone came out much gentler. I bet she knew she couldn’t react to what she had heard in front of me.
“Okay,” I turned to my son and gave him a kiss on the head. I could have told her to walk away, but that would make her take her anger out on my son. And since I wanted her around for a while. I couldn’t really take any risks of losing my calm with. her
“What is it?” I walked out in a spoiled mood,
“Why didn’t you stop him?” as she questioned, I frowned at her. That’s when she probably understood that she needs to be more upfront with me.
“I heard that kid,” she muttered, folding her arms over her chest and watching my face as if she was waiting for me to explain myself to her.
“And?” I raised my brow, clueless about what she was expecting me to do. Did she expect me to scold my child for her? Because definitely, I wasn’t doing that.
“I get it that you are doting on him, but couldn’t you even tell him not to say anything like that? I am your soon-to-be Luna and wife. I don’t think it is helping when you don’t even stop him from speaking nonsense,” her tone went from being miserable to harsh when mentioning my son.
“Mind your language,” I waved my finger at her, warning her through my harsh gaze. I would not let her disrespect my son ever again like she had done in the office that day.
“Why? You can yell at me but not at that boy. It’s not like he is a shint either. He came from that vicious woman. Didn’t you see how she accepted that man in front of her son and ignored Turner’s eyes? It was like she didn’t even care that kid existed. now that she had bagged herself another powerful mate,” she began to yell in tears, showing her frustration that stemmed from watching Samuel treat Reyna nicely. I noticed that even at dinner, she was hurt by many things. For instance, whenever Samuel held Reyna’s hand, Tara would attempt to touch my hand, and whenever I dodged her touch, she would turn extremely upset.
“Go back to your room before I lose my mind, Tara,” trying to remind myself that she needed to stay around for me to attempt one last attempt to bring Reyna here, I began to pace around and avoid giving her the satisfaction of eye contact.
“Is it not true? I am sure you also saw that Reyna was happy with Samuel and she might not even want her son to come back and bother her like he is bothering us now,” as she screamed, I heard a little whimper coming from behind me.
I I already knew what had happened. My son had heard it all. He had tears in his eyes and his little lips were turned into a
pout
“Turner,” I yelped at his sight.
“Is it true that Mom would not want me back anymore?” The little broken voice from him crushed my heart. As I tried to reach over to him, he stepped back to create a distance between us.
“Don’t you want me as well? Am I too bothersome for everyone now?” he kept whimpering, shaking.
“That’s not true. You know I love you,” I hunched over, hoping he would come into my arms when I spread them, but he shook his head.
“That’s why Mom refused to come here because she wanted to spend time alone and without me,” it was a buildup from every bitter statement we had thrown at each other during dinner that now my son was getting affected by it.
