Chapter 122
Hunter:
“You don’t think I’m the one who stirs up arguments with the kid, right?” Even though she knew that’s exactly what I thought, she still asked me. Then she looked shocked when I only tilted my head and glared at her for asking such an obvious question.
“Well, you’re wrong. I never harm that child. It’s just that your beloved Ryena fills his cars with malice against me,” the moment she brought up Ryena, something switched inside me. I’ve been mentally harassed by the thought of losing Ryena, and Tara’s bereft talk about her added fuel to the fire.
“Enough! Do you think an alpha king is a fool who can’t decide between right and wrong on his own?” I snapped, and she finally stepped back, covering her mouth.
Until now. I’d been very patient with her, even when she angered me at every little step. But today was a bad day. I wasn’t myself, and in the back of my head, worry about Ryena being with Samuel consumed me.
“Why are you defending Reyna so much lately? Don’t you remember what she did to you? In fact, you took her from her wedding day. Hunter, she was marrying someone else, not just someone else, but your best friend. How can you look at her and see innocence in her when there is none?” Tara’s eyes watered, surprising me because her emotions seemed genuine.
So she only felt hurt when it was about her. Otherwise, she didn’t really care who was getting hurt with her actions and words.
Once again, stop bringing her up.” I clenched my fists, and my mother gently placed her hand on my arm to calm me down. But Tara didn’t get the hint.
Like always!
“Hunter! I heard she left the pack last night. Do you even know where she spent the whole night?” Her confidence in asking that question made me wonder if she knew something
“My father heard from someone that Samuel picked her up from her home, and she went to his house. The two were together and are still together as we speak,” she sniffled, wiping her eyes with the back of her hands, then staring at for a reaction.
I knew that happened. That fear had engulfed me hours ago, but I didn’t show any reaction in front of Tara, anytli she could use against me in front of my son or Reyna
“What? You re still worried about her? I’ve heard that Alphas and Alpha Kings are possessive about their mates, Hunter happened to you? Or may I ask, what has she done to you? She didn’t even care about her son and left with that man wh community had attacked your son and then even her. Reyna doesn’t care, she only gets all worked up when it comes to th pack members doing something. It’s pretty clear at this point where her loyalty stands, she kept yapping without taking a break, and I was losing my mind.
No way Reyna would choose the rogues over us, especially Turner. She might have gone with Samuel for the night, but I don’t think she would be together with him when her son is at home crying.
“She told me she was headed to his home,” I said, because I do remember Reyna mentioning it.
“And that makes everything okay?” Tara folded her arms over her chest and continued to stare at my face.
“What do you want? Can’t you see we’re not in the mood for these arguments right now?” Mom jumped in once she too realized that Tara wasn’t going to budge
“I’m just helping your son save his dignity and not ruin everything for someone he can’t trust, Who’s to say Reyna isn’t working with Samuel to ruin the empire Hunter built? Otherwise, why would she go to the rogue community when there’s

clear danger hirking around there?” Tara stared my mother right in the eye when making absurd allegations against Reyn
“Reyna is not like that,” surprisingly, now my mother was also defending Reyna.
“Moni is right. You’ve talked enough. Now you need to leave. Don’t come back until I call you” I hissed, gesturing towards the exit.
She looked shocked that we didn’t react to her words and didn’t distantly accuse Reyna.
“Fine. I’ll leave for now, but just know one thing, it there’s anyone who loves you the most and would never betray you, that’s me, she pointed a finger at her chest before glaring at my mother and then walking back towards the exit.
“Why are we tolerating her again?” My mother asked with a sight wasn’t a lie that Tara had it in her to drain us of energy.
“Daddy! However, Turner had now woken up, so we could discuss Tara and her behavior for now.
I turned around to see my son walking downstairs with swollen eyes and a red nose.
“Mommy didn’t come home, it was as if he didn’t even have to ask any of us if she did. Because all of us knew that if Reyna had returned, she would have first gone to see her som
Come here I opened my arms for him and knelt down. He rushed into my arms and started sobbing.
“Why isn’t mommy coming home? I could feel his little heart pounding so hard in his chest that it filled my veins with guilt.
“Mommy will be back soon, I stated.
“Really? Did she tell you that? Did she speak to you? Turner broke the hug to catch my face. I looked over at my mother and
then at Turner.
“She didn’t even call? Did you call her?” His questions were now getting intense, narrowing down to the fact that Reyna was not in contact with us. She didn’t even check on her son. It was so out of her character.
Do we even know where she is?” Turner looked at my mother and then at me, wanting an answer.
Somebody saw her in the rogue community, but you know we shouldn’t trust what others say my mother had to be one to say it since I couldn’t even respond to my son’s worries any
“Is she at Samuel’s house?” the frown on my son’s forehead intenotied as he asked my mom that question,
She shared a glance with me and then gulped.
‘She’s in her old house, and she’s safe,” I abruptly intervened, lying to my son and feeling bad about it.
But his current state made me take that decision.
“That’s not a problem then. We should go meet her there, she must be waiting for us, the sudden appearance of a smile on his lips made my blood rush harder through my veins.
“Turner! The rogues don’t want me in their community. I hesitantly remarked, not because I was afraid of the rogues, but because I knew Reyna was not at the old house.
Then I will go.” Turner insisted, but I shook my head again to dimiss the idea.
“Just give me some time: I will find a way to get her in contact with you.” I said, gulping and taking deep breaths as I decided to call Samuel myself and ask him about Reyna. If she was not there, she would be angry at me for calling Sam, but I would rather take her anger than be clueless about her whereabouts,
“Get him freshened up while I locate her, I told my mother, gesturing for her not to mention anything other than what I

had told Turner before I walked away with the phone in my hand.
Once the phone’s screen lit up. I sighed and dialed his number. had been so long since I had spoken to him directly. He used to be my good friend until the mate bond he felt with Reyna changed him. He freaking hid the truth from me and let me vent my emotions about missing my ex. I felt betrayed at how cunning he turned out to be. There were times when, after Reyna started working in my office. I would be so drunk and then tell him that I miss Reyna. It was after he found out that we used to be mates, or so he claimed in front of Reyna. There was no way he didn’t know, but I never pondered about
“What do you want?” he instantly attended my call and asked with an attitude that made me close my eyes and clench my jaw. If it wasn’t for Reyna, I wouldn’t have even spoken to him ever again.
“Reyna! I want her, where is she?” I asked, my heart pounding hard in my chest. At this point, I should have been certain that this is where she was, but a part of me hoped she wasn’t with him. The silence from the other side stayed for a few seconds before he called over for Reyna, and my heart dropped in my chest.
“Reyna!”
“What?” I heard her respond to him, and that was all I needed to know that she was indeed with him.
“Call back later; we are sort of in the middle of something, the way Sam was panting when he responded to me gave me shivers down my spine.
“Get in the shower: I will be there in a minute,” he continued to tell her, and my heart began to skip beats,
“What are you two doing?” I shouldn’t have asked that, but I did out of anxiety.
“None of your business, She will call you when she is free,” Samuel hissed, and right before he was going to end the call, I heard Reyna’s words, and they shattered me entirely.
“I am waiting in the bathroom, and you are wasting your time on a phone call
