Chapter 103

Reyna Cruz:

“What are you saying?” Now that Jeffery realized he’d also be on the front line of those lying about who they are, he began speaking up.

“She’s lying! I mean, tell her we didn’t do anything.” Tara gently patted Jeffery’s back, nudging him forward to confront me.

“What do you want him to tell me? Do you want him to lie to me?” I raised my brow, watching her without blinking. It was an amazing feeling to watch her lose her mind and look so frightened,

“No! To tell you the truth, the audacity of her to still lie was not something new. She had proven to be the worst person ever.

“I saw you kiss him and he pushed you back,” now that I understood I shouldn’t be fighting with both of them, I decided to approach it differently. I cannot turn everyone against me even when I have my own suspicions on Jeffery.

Jeffery gave it a little thought and then shook his head. He knew he said it like that, he would not look guilty.

“Let’s just end this here. There’s a child crying. What happened here anyway?” Jeffery glanced at Tara, signaling her to leave for her room, who was shocked at his response. I bet she wanted him to attack me or threaten me. But he wouldn’t dare. He knew better than that.

This evil bitch happened,” I yelled, trying to reach for her when Jeffery stepped between us again.

Calm down, he hissed, glancing behind me as my son approached.

“Mom! She told me that daddy left forever and that you are soon leaving too with your birth parents, he sniffed, wrapping his arms around my legs and hugging them.

Tara!” Jeffery tried to glare at her with disbelief.

“What? He was asking everyone about his father, so I thought that would shut him up,” she was back to acting like she always does, ignorant and rude.

“You don’t need to tell my son anything. If you didn’t stop bothering him. Tara,” I took a brief pause just so that I could calm my raced breaths down before I added, “then thai time when Hunter returns, I will make him choose.

I bet it was confidence that stunned her. She couldn’t even challenge me but kept staring at my face with a frown forehead.

“Go back to your room, Tara,” Jeffery pointed downstairs with his entire hand, and she hissed.

Before she could make any more objections, he added, “Before Hunter finds out and gets angry at you. Just leave,” I gues knew she would only back down if she was threatened by Hunter’s name.

Her demeanor changed as she might have remembered that Tummer would possibly tell his father what kind of lies Tara had spread about him when he returns. Hence she finally backed down and left.

“Let’s calm him down, Jeffery uttered, unable to meet my eyes after realizing I had caught him and Tara in an act

“And honestly speaking, I don’t want Hunter to know about Tara and-” He paused because he didn’t want to say it in front of my son, “it was not my fault and i am sure she was just angry at everyone and thought that would be a great idea to get back at Hunter for not telling her where he went.”

“I understand,” I didn’t want to say much and he understood. My son needed me at the moment so I wanted to pay attention to him instead.

As he left. I turned around to kneel down beside my son. My son was a good boy. He was also intelligent and proper. But at the end of the day, he was a child. So whenever somebody lied so much, he would get anxious and cry.

It broke my heart that he couldn’t be done with the bully like Taga. To think she was doing this to an alpha king’s son was just mind boggling. I have planned to put an end to this. If Hunter didnt do something about her this time, I would lose my mind and kick her out myself. My son will not tolerate her bullying anymore.

“You need to stop believing that woman. Haven’t we already established that she lies way too much?” I asked him, gently rucking his hair behind his car and fixing his shirt.

“I know. It’s just that daddy left without even meeting with me. He hasn’t called and hasn’t even sent me a voice note. Is he upset with me about something?” He continued to display his fear of abandonment. All because of that toxic woman. She was the one who first made me look like a cheater and got me kicked out of the pack and now she was traumatizing my son whatever chance she got..

“Let’s do something. I cleared my throat and rubbed his elbow, when we wake up early in the morning, we will speak to daddy on the phone, okay?” I watched a smile appear on his lips.

“We will!” he asked, and I gave him a nod.

“Now let’s get you ready for bed,” after tonight’s incident, I felt like I made the perfect decision of coming here with my son. Otherwise, she would have always reminded him that I gave up on him to marry Sam. As a kid, he would get exploited someday. So I was glad to be around him and guide him to the right path.

After 1 tucked him into bed. I went to my room and woke up early in the morning with Sam calling me nonstop.

“Hm?” I was still sleepy when I answered his call.

“It’s 6 am, when are you leaving to meet me?” Sam’s voice was low and grumpy, he must not have been able to sleep the entire night. I rubbed my eyes and checked the time.

Why was he expecting me to come at 6 am? Maybe he was in a lot of pain and wanted me to come so that he could stop being stubborn and be taken care of

“I will just quickly get ready and message you when I leave, okay?” 1 mumbled and then hung up the call to get ready as soon as possible. Samuel was my mate too, and I had some responsibility towards him.

I took a shower and wore a white dress, all set to leave. The only thing pending was to let Hunter know I was leaving. I was also planning to wake up Mrs. Sparrow and ask her not to leave Turner’s side for a minute. I didn’t even plan to stick around Sam for too long. I knew I would be worried for Turner at home As I entered Hunter’s room. I found him on his knees and hissing

“Hey!” I voiced and quickly approached him, holding his arms to help him get up and sit down on the bed. However, as soon as my palms came in contact with his skin, I realized he was burning with high fever.

“Hunter! You have such a high fever. Why didn’t you message me” 1 complained, quickly setting him up in the bed and grabbing cold water from the mini-fridge to start helping him with the fever.

“I figured you must have been tired from the event so I didn’t want to bother you,” he uttered with difficulty.

I could only imagine how he must be feeling with the way his cheek was missing. It was so hard for him to even take any fluids since he couldn’t eat solid food anymore.

“Here!” I gave him a medicine and then started dabbing cold water sponges on his forehead and lower feet.

“I will be fine,” he uttered, “are you leaving for somewhere?” he softly asked after noticing the purse and how prepared I had

been.

I stopped and lifted my head to look at him. After a brief moment of pause, I shook my head and uttered, “No! I will stay
