Chapter 77
Reyna Cruz:
“What?” I was shocked and also terrified by what he meant. “I don’t think I said a riddle. I said, cancel the wedding, and you get full custody of your son back, he shrugged, making me stare at his face in bewilderment. How could he change so much? How could he have so much animosity for me?
“Hunter!” I took a deep breath to calm my nerves down first so that I don’t say anything that angers him even more than he already was. “I can’t do that. He is my second chance mate, and I have made so many preparations. Everyone is at the venue, waiting for us to get marked by each other.” My voice broke down when requesting him not to play me this dirty.
“Then go ahead and get married. No one is stopping you,” he shrugged, looking over my shoulders and noticing a glass of wine that Polline had left for me.
“Ah! Celebrations, he raised his voice with a very fake smile and approached the glass.
“I am taking away my son by the end of this wedding,” he uttered before taking a sip of that alcohol.
“I won’t let you,” I insisted, not even trying to challenge him..
“Reyna!” He closed his eyes to express his frustration with me trying to make him change his mind.
“No! Hunter! It is not fair to me. I cannot cancel this wedding. Do you have any idea how lonely I have been all these years? After you rejected me and kicked me out of your pack, I thought I didn’t deserve any happiness. I thought maybe I was a bad person to be shamed like this. But then-I built my life and almost forgot about myself until I met Samuel and felt that mate bond with him. I was back to believing that I do deserve a happy ending, that I shouldn’t be all alone,” I was crying before him, and he kept sipping from the glass like it was some entertainment for him.
“Please!” I requested again.
ed again,
“Hmm! Then you should get married. I will let Turner meet you once in a while, as he continued held his hand. The way he smiled victoriously broke my heart. Why was it that he always won?
I reached him and
“No! I won’t give him up,” I cried some more and didn’t even let us hand free. He finished the wine and then set the glass aside, turning to face me entirely this time..
“Tara will take good care of him,” it was his attempt to shake the world from under my feet even more, and he succeeded.
“No! That evil woman will never let my son be happy. Do you not care about your son at all? Is hatred so deeply rooted inside you that you don’t even remember what happened last time?” I questioned him in shock, and as I began to set his arm free, he held my hand and pulled me over his chest.
“I have gone crazy now, Reyna. You told me what you have been dealing with all these years. Do you want to know what I dealt with?” he yelled in my face, keeping me so close to his chest that my body was connected beyond space with his “I have suffered from loneliness too. You never left my mind, and this anger in me that you cheated on ine kept growing. And then I saw you again, and I saw how happy you were with your life. It didn’t seem right. You did me wrong, so what were you getting credit for?” he muttered, and tears began to appear in his eyes.

“But I never cheated on you,” I yelled once again, even when I promised myself that I would not explain myself to him again. Right now, I needed him to understand that he was punishing me for no reason.
“You can keep lying, but it isn’t even about that anymore, he bent his head down so that he could watch my face with clarity. “It is about you. I won’t let you become someone else’s,”
I gasped, but he shook me to reality fairly quickly.
“It is that simple. You marry Samuel, and you lose your son today, Now it is up to you to decide,” he said, finally pushing me

back and freeing me from his grasp.
“But I felt like my throat was getting dry.
“In fact, you need to understand what you can do to have your son back now,” he shrugged, and a frown creased my forehead even more.
“You said I need to cancel this wedding,” I reminded him that he had already told me what he wanted me to do.
“Yes! That’s the first part of it,” he mumbled, and I began to realize he had come prepared.
70%
“What else?” I gulped, fear tightening my throat, expecting something wild from him. I bet he was going to ask me to reject Samuel. I don’t know how I could do that.
“Marry me, as soon as those words left his lips, I stepped back and away from him.
“What the heck are you saying?” I raised my voice, no longer crying because he was beginning to think my life was a joke.
“You heard me. I’ve already signed the papers and taken signatures of the council, so if you want to live with your son again, you have to marry me,” he added, determination sparkling in his eyes
“I can’t. We were married once, and you left me. Why do you want me back now!” I yelled angrily.
“I don’t need to provide you with answers. If you want to see your son again, marry me, or I’ll go home with him and marry Tara. The decision is yours now. You get to decide if you want your son in your life or Samuel, he was making it sol
hard for me to look him in the eye without feeling disgusted by him.
“Is my life a joke to you?” I screamed, and in response, he rolled his eyes.
“You have only ten minutes to make that decision because I’ve changed my mind. I am taking my son back home the minute I leave this room,” he continued to shock me with his cold-heartedness.
He came right when he knew I would be the happiest. It was like he could never see me happy.
His demands were ridiculous and scary. If I continue with that wedding, I will lose Turner, and if I cancel that wedding and marry Hunter, I will be doing the most disgusting betrayal to Samuel.
After that, he didn’t even talk to me. He would remind me how much time I had left, and all my pleas went on deaf ears. I wanted to call Samuel and ask him to come here, but my phone was with my son. He was taking pictures and recording videos, and it was obvious that Hunter wouldn’t let me leave this room.
He told me the minute I leave, so would he, and with him would go my son.
“Time’s up, and then I heard his voice. My body shuddered when he rose from the couch and fixed his coat.
“Happy wedding. I am out of here with my son,” he uttered, and as he began to walk in the direction of the door, I couldn’t help but call after him.
“Wait!” My voice stopped him, and he turned around to stare at me with his eyebrow raised.
“I-1 pouted, clenching my jaw as it wasn’t easy for me to make this decision.
But I had to do anything for my son. I will apologize to Samuel and even beg him for forgiveness. I know he will hate me forever, but my son needs me. I cannot abandon him and leave him at the mercy of Tara, who wasn’t even fair if hurting him in front of Hunter.
“I am ready to marry you,” I swiftly closed my eyes and hugged myself after making a decision that would ruin so much but also fix my son’s future. Hunter had chosen a day very cleverly. He didn’t give me much time to discuss it with anyone. He put the pressure on me, and now I have made a decision in haste

“Great!” The shine in his eye looked so scary. He walked back to me and held my hands by pressure, “so shall we begin?” he smirked, making my heart sink in my chest.
“I have made the decision, so what’s the rush” I questioned hesitantly, sneakily trying to free my hands from his grasp, but his grasp was strong. He was making sure he let me know through his gestures that I am not going to be free from his grasp
today
I told you the next time we leave this room, it will be a new beginning Whether I will leave with my son only, or you can be a part of it. So tell me, are you ready?” He was scaring me at this point. I have never been so frightened of him as he never showed me this evil side of him
With a heavy heart and a defeated self. I nodded, “I am
