Chapter 115
Reyna Cruz:
“Mommy! Why would you-Turner seemed more upset with me than shocked at the accusations. I had to explain to him or else he would think I’m this mean and selfish person who just wanted to take her anger out on his father so she was accusing him of whatever she could think of
“You want me to spill the entire truth then?” I grunted at Hunter, nodding my head to make him understand that now I had no other choice but to defend myself.
“I didn’t say it to turn him against you or anything. I didn’t add anything from myself. I just told him what the accusations are so that if you want to drag him out of here, he knows why Hunter argued, but he kept his tone subdued, knowing I was on the verge of losing my mind already. In fact, everyone around me seemed to be speaking gently, even when doubting me. I was too preoccupied by the sea of thoughts in my head to notice anything at that moment.
I felt like I needed to get away from him and his group in order to think with an open and unbiased mind. As long as he stayed in front of me, I would never be able to focus on the truth and would constantly be influenced by him.
Your father was found at the location and some rogues saw him start the fire today. I explained since Hunter didn’t leave me a choice. If he wanted to be upfront with our son, then our son should know the entire truth so that he could make a rational decision and not use his emotions to judge me only. Turner turned to his father, who stepped closer to his son and held his hands.
“I went there to ask her about the potions Smale and his people used to dormant my wolf. I am still having trouble with transitioning. I also wanted to ask her why she trusts Samuel more than she trusts me for Reyna and you, Hunter repeated himself but at this point, there were so many coincidences that I couldnt just look away from them.
“And yes, I did have a war with Samuel that day but I did not kill any kid. There were no kids there, why would I stupidly kill kids? Why won’t she ask Samuel what were the kids doing at a place of a war in the first place! Not to mention, it’s not like the
rogues had attacked her that she thinks it’s just me who wanted them to look bad, Hunter reiterated his version of the truth again while I shook my head. I was tired of this conversation. I had such a rough day and all I wanted was to just relax
now.
“You said your truth and that’s enough for the night. I stated, watching Mrs. Sparrow look at me with teary eyes, silently pleading with me not to leave with Turner.
“Then maybe you should go to sleep. You guys can talk in the morning. Mrs. Sparrow suggested with a broken smile. I be she knew I wasn’t changing my mind, but it was worth a try that she did suggest that.
“Then Turner and I will leave and stay over at the house that he destroyed, I watched Hunter shake his head.
“You’re going to take my son to that place knowing there is danger lurking there just because you are mad at me?” Hunter raised his voice after his son didn’t question him. It appeared his confidence had gone up again now that Turner wasn’t questioning him anymore.
“Then I will go to Samuel’s place since you care so much about our safety. His house is the safest for us right now,” I looked him in the eye when saying those words, and the jaw clench from him made it clear that he was angry again.
“The man who declared a war against us? The same man who hates me? What makes you think he will not harm my child just to take revenge from me?” Hunter grunted, pushing his son behind him after taking him off the bed and approaching
me.
“He will never do that,” I replied bitterly, standing my ground and facing Hunter.
“But am I capable of lying?” he scoffed, looking upset but also not dropping the act of anger.
“I don’t care what you think about me now. I am taking my son and I am leaving. I cannot stand here for another minute,” I declared, not intending to take my son to Sam’s house because I knew the rogues were now going to hunt us. But I was so

angry with Hunter that I wanted to hurt his feelings for playing so many games with me.
63%
He never respected my choices, and even when he was the one who kicked me out of the pack, he never acted like he fully understood what I have been through and how the rogues took care of me. Not all of them, but a few did help me get over the anxiety and be able to take care of my son and be a strong, independent she-wolf again. But he hates Rogues now only because I have felt the mate bond with a rogue king
“Fine. If Turner wants to go, I will be the one driving the car and taking you to Sam’s house,” Hunter clenched his jaw and stepped out of my way, revealing my son as he left the decision on his tiny shoulders.
“No! I am not letting you make my son choose,” I refused to be a part of his mind games. However, it appeared as if my son liked the idea already.
“Will my decision be respected?” Turner asked, and my eyes nearly jumped out of their sockets.
“If so, then I don’t want to go,” he folded his arms over his chest when making a decision and using a clear tone.
“Thank you so much, my sweet son Hunter began with a smile, but it was my scoff that interrupted him.
You want to stay here even after finding out what your father’s been accused of?” I don’t know what came over me, but I wasn’t happy. I thought my son would take my side and leave. He should have been at least a little skeptical of his father, but he seemed so confident that staying here was the right decision.
“Reyna! Let him stay, please. You too, go to your room and rest. Tomorrow, we can start the investigation, and Em sure Hunter will be willing to provide any answers to prove his innocence. Mrs. Sparrow stepped out from behind Hunter and suggested the idea. I watched my son and Hunter nod their heads.
I’ll do anything to convince you that I’m not lying.” Hunter seemed hopeful, but I was fuming now.
“Mommy! I know my daddy is not lying. He might have made that one mistake, but there’s no way daddy would ever hurt anyone out of spite. Please, give him a chance to prove himself. Turner walked with his little steps, pleading with me.
My mind had stopped working. All I could think of was Hunter getting his way once again. And even when it might have been for the betterment of everyone that I should have ended the conversation here for the night and gone to my room, just didn’t do that
My ego was bruised, and my self-esteem desperately urged me to leave the mansion. I needed to clear my mind. It felt as though Hunter’s lie had deeply affected me. Perhaps unintentionally, I had placed a lot of hope in Hunter.
Then you guys stay here, I’ll leave for the night, my decision not only shocked Mrs. Sparrow and Hunter but also made my son’s lips curl downward the moment he heard I was leaving without him.
“Mommy! Please, no,” he whimpered, but I had already made my way out of his room. Mrs. Sparrow stopped Turner from following me, likely consoling him, but I was briskly heading towards the exit.
“Reyna! Don’t be so stubborn. Your son is crying, and you want to leave?” Hunter ran after me, grabbing my arm, but I shrugged myself free.
“I want to know the truth, Hunter, or I’ll lose my mind,” I screamed, descending the stairs.
“Then I’ll give you all the answers, whatever you want to know, he said while following me, but every time he tried to hold my arm or hand, I would break free and quicken my pace.
“I just need this one night out, Hunter. I can’t stay under the same roof as you,” I stopped and yelled, watching him realize that I couldn’t even stand to look at his face at that moment.
“If it is indeed true that you are somehow behind what happened to Polline, Hunter you will never see me or our son again. Even if Turner doesn’t want to leave, 1 warned him one last time before speeding towards the niansion’s exit.
