“Why are we out here in the woods?” I asked, feeling uncertain, but I tried to maintain a calm demeanor to avoid hurting his feelings by seeming doubtful.
“You’ll see soon enough, he replied, then fell silent until he parked the car by the roadside I noticed a group of people gathered nearby, engaged in conversation. They appeared troubled, their attention shifting to the car as they lined up to greet their leader, Samuel, until their gares landed on me. their expressions turning sour
They didn’t seem too thrilled to see me.
“Come,” Samuel said, stepping out of the car to face his follower They bowed to him, but their faces remained clouded by my presence.
1 followed suit, stepping out of the car and standing behind him. His people stared at me with blank expressions
“Show us where they are, Sam whispered softly, and one of his followers stepped forward, nodding before leading us away
Walking behind Samuel, feeling uneasy with the others trailing closely behind me, we eventually reached our destination
As Sam stepped aside, revealing the grim sight before me, I gasped at the pile of lifeless bodies, both young and old, surrounded by grieving mothers.
They’ve lost their children. Please tell me you don’t believe these kids were attacking the Alpha King, Samuel murmure shaking his head.
One of the she-wolves, cradling her young son who appeared to be around eight, lifted her head and her expression shitted upon seeing me.
“Why have you returned now? To finish what your Alpha King mate started?” she screamed, causing me to step back.
Seeing her in such anguish reminded me of my own son. I’d do anything to protect him.
“Didn’t he get what he wanted? Why did he come to harm our children?” another woman cried, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
“He did this?” I trembled, watching the women mourn over their deceased children and others grieving beside their mates.
“Let’s go,” Sam said, taking hold of my hand to lead me away when he realized I was frozen in place, unable to move a
muscle.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I imagined their pain, and I couldn’t help but sob quietly. He guided me back to his car and helped me inside before stepping out to speak with his men.
“Take care of them. Provide them with food, shelter, and arrangements for proper funerals for their loved ones. I’ll return to assist personally.” Samuel murmured, ensuring his words were delivered with care to the families of the victims.
The drive home was filled with my tears, my gaze fixed on the passing scenery. I couldn’t fathom the idea that Hunter could be responsible for such cruelty.
“He has a son himself, why would he harm someone else’s child? I cried out, expressing my disbelief to my inner wolf. Nera.
“Do you want to confront Hunter about this?” I expected Nera to be enraged, but instead, she voiced her own uncertainty.
Once we arrived back at Sam’s castle, I sank onto the couch, burying my face in my hands,

“I just can’t believe it, I timally lifted my head, shaking it in disbelief. There was no way Hunter could be capable of such cruelty.
“So what do you think happened then? Sam interjectes, his hands on his hips as he voiced his frustration.
“Do you think these mothers harmed their own children and then pretended to grieve? They witnessed Hunter, they saw it all You should go talk to Hunter yourself, his frustration evident in his tone and the way he paced anxiously.
“Go on, ask him,” he insisted, running a hand through his hair infconcern.
“It’s alright, she needs time to calm down,” Polline likely signaled him to drop the subject for now.
“I want you to understand that my people are furious, and I wook stop them from resenting the Alpha King and seeking justice for the lives lost,” Sam continued to vent, his agitation evilent as he paced around:
“I understand, and if he did indeed do that–“I paused, but Sanoffel, cutting me off.
“You still don’t believe it, even when the mothers claim he’s responsible, right? Do you even know what your Alpha King is planning next?” Sam leaned in closer to me, despite Polline’s atopt to intercede.
She always positioned herself between us to ensure my safety, hot I knew I couldn’t avoid facing Sam and the others forever, especially considering the severity of the accusations against Hunter
“And while you’re questioning him about that, be sure to ask about what he’s plotting next,” Sam scoffed, shaking his head at
“What is he planning?” I asked, rising to meet his gaze, feeling a wave of concern wash over me. I felt utterly clueless amid these revelations.
“He’s trying to paint the rogue community as too dangerous for ack people to live among or even visit, Sam replied, and I realized he was referring directly to me and my son.
“You really have no idea? Sam observed my bewildered expression and pressed further.
As I confirmed that I truly had no inkling about Hunter’s plans, Sam lowered his head and shook it sarcastically.
“Reyna! He orchestrated his people to vandalize your mansion, the mansion or the rogue commimity, his words struck me like

“No! I can’t believe that, I protested, perhaps upsetting him, as he closed his eyes and turned his head away.
“Sam, his son’s belongings were there. Things we built with love. If his son had seen it, he would have been devastated,” I argued, watching as Sam rolled his eyes.
“Did Turner see it?” he raised an eyebrow. “Exactly. Hunter made sure of it. Go ask his guard named Terrin. He’s the one who did it,” he added, and my heart sank in my chest at the realization. If it was true then I don’t know how I could ever forgive
