Chapter 146
Hunter
However, instead of cutting his throat, I shoved the cure down his throat and stepped away. He coughed for a few seconds before lifting his head and gazing at me with teary eyes.
“Your punishment is that you will live a long life as a rogue,” I declared, nodding while tears welled up.
“Are you two finished?” the rogue grunted from the other side of the wall.
“We are,” I said, and Jeffrey buried his face in his hands, sobbing.
“I’ll depart for the other prison now. You can remain here, and then I’ll set you free,” I said before walking over to the door and breaking the lock, I couldn’t use knives or anything to remove this lock, so I needed my werewolf strength for it. Once I had opened the door, I rushed over to the roque king’s cell and carefully unlocked it with a pocket knife.
The moment I entered the prison and locked the door behind us again, I was greeted by the fresh smell of herbs. The couple sat
together, appearing dull and weak.
The rogue king was a handsome blond man with blue eyes, just like his wife. They were, in fact, very young, but due to being underfed and continuously poisoned by Samuel, they had grown weak.
“Don’t feel bad for us. We’re fine. We stopped taking the cure on our own because of the silver shackles. We couldn’t get out even
when we took the care, and on top of that, Samuel would constantly feed us the poison. So the best way to stop fighting,” the rogue laughed, watching me approach and grab the silver chains in my hands. Even as they burned, I started uncuffing them with the knife. Once the two were freed, they hugged and smiled at me.
“Now! We must make sure he never gets out alive from here,” I determinedly declared, but the rogue king’s wife seemed a little against the idea. “Our kids,” she uttered, and I nodded, feeling guilty for forgetting about them.
“Jeffery knows where they are, so we might be able to get the address from him,” the rogue king uttered, but I didn’t respond to that idea. I would have to let the rogue king make Jeffery talk. I was done with that man.
However, as we were busy talking, I heard footsteps approaching the door. It had to be Samuel.
“Go!” I mouthed to the rogue king and his queen, gesturing for them to sit by the chains and act like they were still in shackles. They hurried to their positions while I hid behind the door. As expected, Samuel unlocked the door and walked inside. The minute his eyes landed on the couple, he began to chuckle manically.
“Ah! Look at you two. A cute pair of helpless birds,” he was so sarcastic with them, using his real tone and not trying to sound
sophisticated like he used to with everyone.
“You seem happy,” the rogue king commented.
“I am. I am, in fact, the happiest, and you know why?” Samuel took steady steps in their direction, hunching dramatically and using a creepy tone, “because I got my queen to agree to leave with me.” He snickered.
“How so? What happened to her child? Is she willing to leave her child behind?” the rogue king asked.

So I did what I should have done a long time ago. The
“Huh! You think I didn’t know her son would become a hindrance once again? 9 way he said that made my body shudder.
“I brought Turner here, and oh, sweet Goddess, she is so happy. In fact, the two of them are upstairs, packing their belongings to leave the country with me, he started to laugh while I found my breath quickening.
I
He took my son here? After I found out from the rogue king that it was actually Samuel who had planned to kill my son, I couldn’t control my anger. Now, hearing him talk about my son again only enraged me further, I began to walk in his direction, but he was too busy laughing and mocking the couple.
“You know what I’ll do to Turner if he comes between Reyna and me again?” he chuckled loudly, hunching over the couple.
“You cannot hurt him ever again,” my voice jolted him in shock. He turned around with his eyes wide open when I attacked him.
Punches, kicks, and tossing him to the ground, I did all that I’ve been wanting to do to him. I thought I was the villain of Reyna’s story, but he was the villain of our story. He dropped to the ground and coughed blood out. Every time he tried to transition, I would beat him up until he had no strength left to transform.
“How?!” he raised his hand while crawling back to create a safe distance between us.
“What do you want to know? How I got the cure or how Reyna planned all this?” my words made him gasp, tears forming in his eyes.
“That’s right. She did it to get rid of you and have a life with me that includes her son and not his murderer,” I hissed, kicking him and making him fall down again when he attempted to get up..
“No! She would never do that. She loves me,” he was so delusional that he didn’t even hear the best part about Reyna knowing what he had tried to do to her son. He then paused and whimpered, “no! She will hate me forever.”
“The hate you deserve. You tried to take her by force, kept so many innocent rogues in your captivity, and you think you had a chance” with her?” I yelled, grabbing my silver knife and ready to plunge it into his heart as i knelt down on his chest.
“Wait! If you do this, you will never see
ee your son again,” with his hands up and his eyes wide open, he threatened.
I could tell he was scared of the knife in my hand. “What are you saying?” I asked. I heard him telling Holland that he brought my kid here, but I’m sure Reyna has him, so he’ll be fine.
“Huh! Your son is not with Reyna. He’s with my trusted men,” Sam chuckled the minute he watched worry etch on my face. My hand lost its power over the knife, and it was then that Sam threw me back and got on top of me in a swift action. I was so scared for my son that I didn’t want to piss him off.
Sam had grabbed the herb when he was on the ground and tossed it into my mouth by force. I spat it out and pushed him off, but some of it was already in my mouth. Without wasting a minute, Sam pulled out a gun and pointed it at me. “You move, and I will shoot you,” he warned, his eyes displaying the evil in them. I couldn’t even move faster even if I wanted tb. Some of that herb had entered my body. “I’ll f*cking get rid of you and take my queen with me, whether she likes it or not,” he hissed and had only attempted to place his finger on the trigger when he frowned at the smile on my l*ps.
“What are you smiling for, you freak?” he muttered under his clenched jaw.
“Don’t you want to turn around and see who is behind you?” my words compelled him to swiftly turn, but the minute he did, Reyna plunged the knife into his chest. He dropped the gun and watched her face, kneeling before her.

“But I love you!” he whispered, gently placing his hand on her arm.
“But I don’t. You should not have tried to come between me, Hunter, and my son!” Reyna’s anger was visible in her eyes as she pushed the knife deeper into his chest, and he began to gurgle Steadily, his body slumped over and dropped to the ground.
Reyna raised her head, and our eyes met. She rushed and filled herself in my embrace.
“I’ve missed you so much, I broke the hug and cupped her face.
“Shut up, I love you!” she confessed, “let’s just stop fighting and be together. All these days were so difficult for me.”
Hunter nodded with a weak smile on his l*ps and crashed his l*ps against mine.
