Chapter 72
Hunter:
I had been restless ever since I heard that my son was now lying to me, all for the sake of a happily ever after for his mother. Things had escalated, and now I realized that for my plan to work. I needed to act quickly.
She was out on a date with him. Do you think she will stop for anything now? She seems to be enjoying his mate bond, Net was right. Even I had noticed the way she had cheered up after finding a new mate.
I didn’t understand why I couldn’t get a second chance at a mate. I should have gotten one too so that I could have annoyed
her.
But we already have her friend as a chosen mate, and I don’t think she is even jealous to see us together,’ Net reminded me that Reyna doesn’t really show any jealousy when she sees us together.
There is no way she doesn’t feel any jealousy. She is just good at masking it, I scoffed, holding the steering wheel with pressure.
“Well, then she certainly has an odd way of showing it. You can fool yourself, but I won’t bet on it. She is in love with her new mate. She has moved on, and we have lost every single battle, whether it was the battle of love or taking custody of our son,” Net uttered, making me narrow my eyes on the road.
THE
“No! I haven’t lost anything yet. If I can get someone with me who would make her feel jealous, I was interrupted by Net’s taunting laugh.
You should sleep with Polline, and even then Reyna wouldn’t mind it, that was it. Net didn’t understand that I could still feel the love we once shared.
I was angry with her, but there was no way she had entirely moved on from me.
“I am not going to do that. Making her jealous and rubbing my relationship against her face is what small achievements are. I am going to aim big now, I hissed and parked the car in the parking lot of my mansion. Besides, something new needed to happen,
However, I didn’t go inside because I knew Tara had come back after staying at the hotel for a few days. Her father had been calling me to make me forgive her. I never wanted her back but only allowed it to happen because I had a plan.
“She will be waiting for us, Net sighed tiredly. It had been exhausting for us to face her and not feel anything for her. There was something very unattractive about Tara. I didn’t even want to touch her with a ten-foot pole.
‘I don’t understand why cant she get a hint, I muttered under my breath. That b*ucking roof.
Ever since my son told me what she did to him, I hated her even more. And what’s worse is that I remembered once she g
gut me hella drunk, probably expecting me to sleep with her. But even when I was drunk, I refused to touch her, and it annoyed
her a lot
“Hello I called Jeffery because he was the one who had been doing my dirty work for me.
Alpha King Hunter, he said from the other side.
“You have been very busy for the last two days. Are you alright?” asked as I remembered he had been taking time off here and there.
I never pried into his private life because he was the type who barely wanted to talk about anything personal. And I respected that.

“Yeah, I am fine,” he replied slyly

never asked him, but I could tell that he was having some troubles with his mate. The one he never introduced to anyone.
“So, did you do what I had asked you to do?” I questioned with enthusiasm, hoping he could tell me what Samuel had been planning.
Jeffery was the kind of guy anybody would befriend, and Samuel did too. He would usually ask him to plan romantic dates for Reyna or book hotels for the two of them. That’s how I got to know about their last plan. But tonight, Samuel must have taken her somewhere very private, hence I couldn’t know.
“Actually–Jeffery took a brief pause that kind of worried me. He was a very talkative guy, so whenever he was taking a break, it meant trouble.
“Tell me what is going on? What did you find out?” I insisted with a heavy heart. I didn’t know if Samuel had planned a trip with Reyna, and I might not even see her or my son for days. If that happens, I need to be prepared to ruin their trip.
“I found out what he had been up to these days, and I think–you will not like it, Jeffery now made it clear that I was right. They had to be going on vacations somewhere. He really thought he could take her away from me, and I wouldn’t let that happen. That too with my son too.
I
“Just tell me, there is nothing I cannot deal with,” I sighed, leaning back in the chair.
“Samuel has been planning for the wedding, as he said that, my heart sank in my chest.
“Huh? Whose wedding? Is he taking Reyna to someone else’s wedding?” The shock was so much that I couldn’t even comprehend what he truly meant. I just assumed it was someone else’s wedding. It had to be. I mean, Reyna was married once; why would she want to marry again? But my doubt was right.
“Your highness, he is planning a wedding with Reyna. The two are getting married in a week.” He then further explained, and whatever confidence or hopes I had in my plans withered away.
“Alpha king?” Jeffery said from the other side, but my tongue had rolled back into my throat. Flashes of my wedding with Reyna played before my memory, turning my vision blurred.
“Hunter?” Jeffery raised his voice to get my attention better this time, “Are you alright?”
I hated how upset he sounded for me. I was not someone he should be having sympathy for. I should have been victorious this time, but I guess I had taken too much time in playing my last card. And since it was the last card. I decided to keep it till the very last moment. I will strike them out of the blue, leaving no chance to fight back.
“I have never been more fine.” My response meant one thing; finally, the big plan would come into play. I will no longer waste any more time now.
“Are you sure? I mean, I gave you the worst news, Jeffery must have been thinking I have lost my mind.
“Oh no! I have heard worse news. I mean, being married to Reyna gave me some bad news; this is nothing compared to those,” I forced a happy tone, comforting him, but I know he knew me, and he knew there was a huge turmoil inside me.
“I will see you in the office tomorrow,” I said and hung up the call. Not because I had to rush inside the mansion, but because I needed to call someone.
“Hello! Elder Cale! I need to speak to you about the custody of my child,” I mumbled into the phone with a smirk covering my lips. Let’s see who suffers and who enjoys it now.
“Oh hello, that is a ummm–sudden change of decision,” he uttered in bewilderment and I knew why. Last time, I told him that I didn’t want to take full custody.
“Well, things have changed, 1 muttered.
