Chapter 125
Reyna Cruz:
I don’t know what happened to me, but I passed out after the arrow was pulled out of my body. Samuel must have taken care of me because by the time I woke up again, I was in a soft bed.
I opened my eyes slightly to take in the room I was in, noticing its huge tall walls and the old antiques placed around. Then, I slowly closed my eyes again, getting accustomed to the deep slumber until I jolted myself awake.
I
“Huh!” I gasped, sitting up with my hand over my forehead. I was still in a daze, but the worst part was that my back hurt a lot. I tried to run my hand behind my back and realized I was all bandaged up. That’s when I also found out that my clothes: had been changed. I was wearing men’s shorts and a big white slørt. My heart began to pound hard in my chest at this point.
“What the heck!” I was now breathing heavily when I acknowledged that it was Samuel’s bedroom. There was a huge portrait of him behind the bed.
How the hell did I end up here?
So many questions formed in my head. The door to the room abruptly opened and in came Samuel with a tray of food and medicines. He watched me awake and gave me a weak smile.
“How the hell, I was unable to finish a full sentence. He put the tray down and sat on the bed in front of me.

Calm down. You passed out in the tub, and I couldn’t just leave you there, nor could I let you sleep in those wet clothes. You were already heating up with fever, he started explaining because I was losing my mind at this point. I stared in the direction of the window and noticed that it was all dark outside.
“What time is it? How long have I been out for?” My voice came out in a gasping whisper. Samuel looked back at me with a concern-filled face, but he was being patient with me.
“Reynal You need to calm down first. You are fine now, and it’s the same day. You didn’t wake up years later, don’t fret,” he rolled his eyes playfully, attempting to lighten the situation.
“Turner! He must have been so worried about me, I placed my hand on my forehead again, feeling feverish.
“He is fine, I’m sure,”his reassurance didn’t help me. I wouldn’t be at ease until I’ve talked to him myself. His misty eyes flashed before my memory and I felt guilty for hurting my baby boy by leaving like that the other night.
My eyelids were still heavy, and my body was shivering. I didn’t understand why the wound was hurting so much.
“Don’t try to touch it, it is not healing yet, Samuel quickly held my hand to prevent me from reaching to the back again.
“Okay, then I will transition and heal soon so that I can return home,” I insisted, nodding my head anxiously.
I don’t know why, but the anxiety was beginning to set in. I had left the mansion last night and hadn’t even contacted anyone until now. I was getting worried about Turner.
And on top of that, what would Hunter think when he finds out I have spent this missing time with Samuel?
“You cannot transition, though. The arrow was laced with wolfbane, Samuel’s information made me feel dizzy all of a
sudden.
It made sense though. I should have known that’s what that woman was injecting me with.
I didn’t want to hear another piece of bad news, but now that he mentioned it, I began to channel my wolf.
‘Nera! Please tell me you’re awake, since I didn’t know how much wolfbane was used in the arrow, I was hoping Nera would

have been awake already. But my expectations were too much from her. It was unfair to her.
“Shit! Then help me get home that was it. I didn’t need to stay here and heal in order to go back home. I can go back home and heal there.
“Where?” Samuel asked with his eyebrow raised.
“Sam please, right now is not the time for any arguments, I wished to be able to make a full sentence, but my head was spinning in circles. I kept blinking my eyes hard to avoid the haze and look ahead clearly.
“I understand, but you are not well. You cannot travel, heck! You cannot even stay awake,” he quickly changed his tone when watching me suffer.
“Then take me in your car, or my car I have my car parked outside.” I uttered, trying to get out of the bed, but the minute I moved my body too much, I began to fall down.
“Hey!” Samuel quickly grabbed me from falling on my back. No wonder I slept on my side.
“What is happening to me?” I whispered, still being held by him.
You have been given wolfliane, and the wound was unable to hell. You are having a fever and maybe an infection too. But you will be fine if you stop resisting and get some more rest,” he helped me sit on the side of the bed and explained to me why I was unable to get on my feet.
“But I want to see my son, I whimpered, not even trying to move anymore. I hated the feeling of the world spinning around me and then me wanting to throw up.
Just give it a few hours, and then you shall be line. Eat some food and take your medicine. And by then, you can speak to your son on my phone, as soon as he made that suggestion, I smiled while tears ran down my eyes. I have never felt so vulnerable before.
Please-call him for me, I uttered, barely audible, but Samuel understood me and nodded his head.
He began to call Hunter, I believe. I couldn’t hear the conversation properly because my ears were now ringing. It was like one thing after another was happening to me, and I was so unwell.
“She wants to talk to-Turner,” Samuel’s voice made its way into my ear. He then paused for a few seconds before he smile to himself, “hello, how are you, little warrior?” I could tell he was talking to my son because his mood changed to pleasure.
“Your mother is here, and she wants to speak to you. She has been worried about you,” Sam said, handing me the phone.
“Hello, Turner! My baby-I miss you, I mumbled, taking heavy breaths.
“Mommy! Why are you with Uncle Samuel?” Turner’s voice consisted of a little sadness. But I was in a state where I couldn’t focus on the right things to say to him. I just wanted to hear his voice and let him know that I am fine and missing him.
“I am going to sleep now, take care of yourself-okay? as I forced those words out of my lips, the cellphone slowly slipped out of my hands, and my eyes shut close. I had once again fallen into a deep slumber.
