Chapter 108

1 didn’t know how to make sense of his accusations. He confidently accused Hunter of vandalizing my mansion just to prove that my son isn’t safe in the rogue community.

“Also, Hunter doesn’t have much wolfbane in his system. He’s lying, Sam mentioned as I left his place. I told him I needed to go ask Hunter those questions or else I’d lose my mind,

Tll come by to meet you again, Polline said to Sam, who smiled back at her.

“You’re the only one who can arrange our meetups right now,” Sam’s comment saddened me, knowing that the only reason I could leave the mansion after Hunter’s allegations about rogues was by using Polline as an excuse.

Tm always on your side, Polline reassured him with a smile.

I was already anxious because I wanted to fly back home and confront Hunter,

Calm yourself down. Don’t go all crazy before you hear his side Nera constantly tried to reassure me. However, she wasn’t calling her second chance mate a liar either.

“Polline! I’ll drop you home first,” I said, but she softly shook her head.

“I’ll drop her home, don’t worry about her, Sam intervened, gestoring for me not to worry. I could tell they knew I was rushing to go back home.

“Okay, goodbye then,” I uttered and rushed into the car. I received some calls and text messages from Hunter asking me how much time I was going to spend with Sam, and I hadn’t answered a single one of them.

I was furiously hyperventilating in the car. It was a long ride, and I was all alone with so many thoughts. After a few minutes, Polline informed me that she had arrived home safely.

After entering the pack border, I began to straighten my back and prepare myself to confront Hunter in a way that would make him understand that he cannot lie to me again.

‘Remember, he’s also not well. So don’t go all crazy on him, Nera reminded me one last time as I stepped out of the car and headed straight upstairs where Hunter was now with my son.

“Hey, how is Polline?” Mrs. Sparrow spotted me right at the entrance and asked with a smile.

“She’s fine. Was asking about you.” I smiled awkwardly. “Where is Turner?” I questioned, as it was already past 9, and I wanted to tuck him in bed first before I spoke to Hunter.

“Turner never left his father’s side. He even had dinner with himin bed, she answered with a smile, holding a book she was getting ready to read,

“Okay then, I’ll head upstairs and see you in the morning,” I mumbled with a weak smile and briskly walked upstairs.

As I entered the room, I watched Turner sleep in the middle, leaving an empty spot for me in the bed. Hunter was gently patting his back when he opened his eyes and saw me enter the room.

He fell asleep a few minutes ago,” Hunter answered my silent query in a whisper.

“Hmm! How are you?” I asked, dropping my bag on the side and then sitting on the couch to take off my shoes.

“I’m good. You didn’t answer a single text from me. He kept you busy?” Hunter hissed under his breath, not raising his tone.

“Yeah, he did.” I nodded, sardonically smiling at the fact that Hunter was probably worried that Sam had told me all about his actions.

“You know, it makes me feel so little that my mate spent her entire day with that as*hole who is responsible for my state,” he stopped patting Turner’s back so that he could get out of bed and approach me.

He hunched over me, making me stare at his face and his condition.

“And you cannot transition? I raised a brow, but in return, he frowned in bewilderment,

“You think I enjoy being in pain?” he sounded disbelieving, so I decided to start asking him questions before he acted hurt and refused to answer me.

“Hunter! What happened that day when you found me with San I looked him straight in his eyes for answers.

“I told you already. I found you, and then I had an altercation with him, and while that was happening, his people arrived and attacked me,” he muttered, looking confident that he wasn’t hiding anything from me.

“Hmm!” I nodded, feeling a little agitation growing inside me. He was fuming and restlessly pacing around, so I wasn’t sure if I wanted to ask him any heated questions. But these queries would make me go crazy if I didn’t shoot them at him.

“What did you two do the whole day?” he questioned as he stopped pacing around and demanded that I look him in the eye.

“Huh?” I raised my brow. “He took me somewhere and showed me something.” I gave my head a little nod when answering his question.

“He showed me the dead bodies you left when you attacked there,” I said, watching the frown on his forehead unfold.

“And? I told you, they attacked me, as he raised his voice, I watched him close his eyes and then gently rub his temples.

“Is Polline on her side too?” he suddenly brought it up, and I scoped at him. “I was calling her today to ask her about you, but she was responding to me rudely. Is she pushing you two together again? Is she the bridge–he paused again when he started coughing a little.

“Hunter! I s.” I was now ready to ask him more questions when he began to act up, “the dead bodies belonged to kids too. Why would you attack kids?” as soon as I questioned him, he shook his head and mumbled, almost like an attempt to get away from me.

“I think I am transitioning.”

“No, you are not. I don’t hear any cracks and wolf appearing, I felt like he was just using that excuse so that he could get. away from me. He didn’t even answer me and started walking towards the exit.

I stayed behind for some time before realizing I was losing my mind. So I followed him, but he was sprinting out of the mansion at this point.

Soon, he had left, and I couldn’t leave my sleeping son alone. It was clear that he was hiding something.
