Chapter 127
Reyna Cruz:
“Okay! If you don’t want to drop me at the park’s border, I’d rather leave on my own. I stomped my foot, even though it made me wince in pain.
“Hmm,” he lowered his head, and then after a brief moment of silence, he began chuckling creepily. I frowned at him and stepped away from him.
“You would rather have him gaslight you, he nodded his head, no longer chuckling and biting his bottom lip.
“Just answer my da
mn question. Are you going to drop me at the border or not?” I took a deep breath and asked him the same question. He had become really difficult to communicate with.
“Fine. I will drop you off– as soon as I heard that and had only sighed in relief when he added, “But in the morning.
My face formed a frown again, but before I could think of anything, he intervened.
“And before you start yelling and accusing me of kidnapping you, I want to let you know that my people are not sitting on their as*es. They are angry after I punished that woman for attacking you. It had come to a point that some of them even think I’m not on their side for hurting my own kind for you, he explained, sounding low as he expressed his concerns towards his people hating on him.
“Okay. But tomorrow is a must, I said, and he rolled his eyes at the.
“Yeah yeah, I don’t want you to claim I abducted you and all,” he scoffed, shaking his head as he stepped towards the door, “Come pick this up.”
He yelled for the maid, and she came rushing, grabbing the tray and then staring at its contents.
“Don’t worry, she won’t eat anything we prepare. She thinks we will poison her,” Samuel made me grunt at him when he told his mate that, and she lowered her head and left.
“So this is how you fill their ears with hatred towards me?
I watched him close his eyes and stretch his neck.
“I want them to know the truth. It’s not like you have chosen a side. Actually, you chose him on the day of our wedding. I’ve been a fool for trying so hard. I think I’ll back down now and let you deal with him yourself. It’s not my problem if he plays with you or tricks you,” the little sigh from his lips broke my heart a little. There was a time we were so good together.
And I understand that Hunter was to blame for everything, and maybe myself too. I wasn’t too loyal to him either. I completely forgot about him in days as I spent more time with Hunter.
“When is Polline’s funeral?” I didn’t want to miss the last chance to say goodbye to her.
He tilted his head, sliding his hands in his pockets, and then watched my face in silence for a few minutes before raising his
brow at me.
“You don’t need to worry about that. You won’t be attending it anyway,” as soon as he said that, my agitation grew again.
“So this is how you plan to punish me for not picking your side and not instantly accusing Hunter of all the crimes you’re accusing him of? I watched his face in disbelief.
“Why are you so quick to judge me, but no amount of evidence can make you question Hunter?” he hissed, almost raising his voice at me again.

“It’s not me who’s not inviting you. My people won’t allow you. Once you leave, they’ll make sure the next time pack members and they are face to face is when there’s a war going on,” he aggressively moved his hands around to explain his statement, and I let out a sigh of depression.
“When is the funeral?” I questioned again, and this time, he stayed silent for a few seconds before responding.
“Tomorrow evening.”
Then I’ll leave after tomorrow. Would that be okay?” I questioned, watching him give it a thought..
“If we can convince them that you’ve come here to stay forever he said, and my heart skipped a beat.
“It will be a lie. You won’t face any consequences of it, but I’m ready to take that risk,” he stated confidently, I didn’t want him
to do me any favors anymore, but attending this funeral was a must for me.
“I wish a Tumer could join too. I sat down with much difficulty and buried my face in my hands..
“They will not allow him here. Besides, Hunter would question, as soon as he said his name, I straightened my posture and. then cleared my throat.
“What about him?” I asked, sneakily watching his face.
“What he groaned but I couldn’t repeat myself again. I am sure he knew what I was asking him.
“What do you want to know about him?” he asked again, explaining his expression. He looked like he could kill someone in the moment. I didn’t want to get into yet another argument with him but I couldn’t stop myself from asking him that question.
“Did he contact you? I mean, you spoke to Turner on his phone, right? Did he say something?” I don’t know why I was asking Sam about Hunter because it would only enrage him. But I was desperate to get some information on Hunter.
Last time when I walked out of that mansion, I had accused him of a lot of stuff and left him hurt. He even had tears in his eyes when he seemed to be hurt at the fact that I had walked away from him.
“He didn’t say your name, and neither did he mention you. He just gave Turner his phone,” Sam replied, and my heart skipped a few beats.
“Hm. Sam clicked his tongue. “You were expecting him to be worried for you?”
“No! I was just wondering if he would be angry and fill my son’s ears against me,” I muttered, feeling a little disappointed that Hunter didn’t even ask for me. Maybe that’s how much he was angry at me for accusing him. I sighed as I watched Sam constantly stare at my face as if he was learning something.
“Are you sure that’s why? Because it doesn’t look like you are being too honest with me right now. Your face tells me you were having great expectations from him,” he commented, his eyes welling up.
At this point, I didn’t have anything to say to him, so I remained silent.
“What a lucky man, he can have anyone he wants, and he doesn’t even have to be perfect for it. Sam scoffed before he started walking away.
Don’t starve yourself. The maid will prepare something for you, and I can take test bites to make sure it’s not poisoned,” he mumbled before exiting the room.
Now I was on my own and even felt odd for staying in his bedroom.
Nera! Please wake up by the morning, I really need you beside me. Something is not right, I insisted for my wolf to wake
up.

Being all alone in this castle was giving me a bad feeling.
