Chapter 89

Reyna Cruz:

We got home and tucked Turner into bed, but I wasn’t ready to call it a night just yet. I had to ask Hunter some questions. my anxiety reaching its peak.

“What? Seems like you’ve been waiting for me to come to the bedroom, Hunter joked, fully aware that his comment would

irk me.

I closed my eyes and scoffed before approaching him as he stood in front of the mirror. “What did you mean by Sam not doing anything for his people?”

“You’re still hung up on your ex?” Hunter knew how to get under my skin with his choice of words.

“You cannot just make a comment and not explain it,” 1 argued.

“If he cared about them, he wouldn’t have gone off the grid like that. His people are panicking, and he’s busy hiding like at child who couldn’t get his favorite toy,” Hunter’s mention of my relationship with Sam hinted that he never took it seriously.

“He’s upset because his friend stole his mate, I uttered, defending Sam even though I knew Hunter didn’t like it when I did

that

“Huh! That’s one way to tell the story. Now tell me, what do you want from me?” he sighed, turning around and leaning his back against the dresser, unbuttoning his shirt while maintaining intense eye contact.

I’m worried about Poline,” I said, noticing the smirk disappear from his lips

“Why?” It was almost like he wanted to hear it from me directly

“The rogues are angry at everyone who had kept association with me after i left their Rogue King and flee with y

you. I almost rolled my eyes when mentioning that part but I then cleared my throat and mended my way because it was an

important issue.

“Did you offer her to come here and live with us? I have no objection to that, his voice softened as he watched me sigh and nod

“She said the rogues are very angry at everything at the moment. So she wants to stay there for a while and then come stay with us,” I mumbled.

“Reyna! I think she should not stay there for a day, the way Hunter said my name and suggested it sent shivers down my spine.

“Why? Do you know something is going to happen?” anxiety overtook me, and I began questioning him, scared.

“I know for a fact that rogues don’t play nice. It doesn’t matter that she’s acting like she’s cut ties with you. They know you care about her,” he pulled closer, bending over and delivering these terrifying words to my face.

“I’m scared,” I said, and he closed his eyes, nodding.

“I understand. You should tell her to come stay here without delay, he straightened his back and then strolled away.

I sat on the bed and started dialing her number. She must be sleeping because she had texted me goodnight an hour ago

Then I began calling Sam, and this time, his number wasn’t off. Hope urged me to keep calling until he picked up.

As I persisted, he finally answered, and I didn’t even know how to start the conversation. Maybe I thought he wouldn’t

answer, no matter what.

“Sam!” I got up and rushed over to the window to catch some fresh air. It was like I was in disbelief that he attended my call.

“Why are you calling me now? Aren’t you someone else’s mate now?” His voice was heavy. He must have been crying and going through a lot.

Tm not. My heart still belongs to you,” I mumbled. The guilt I was feeling was so much even when I was certain I didn’t have another option. There was just no way I would leave my son with Tara all alone.

“It shouldn’t,” he muttered.

“Why are you saying that?” I was at the verge of crying when talking to him.

“I’m a disgusting rogue who upset you. Heck! I lost my mind to the point that I was going to mark you by force. Do you have any idea what would have happened if I had done that? I would have ended my life, Reyna. I’d rather be dead than hurt you.” he hissed, emphasizing the difference between him and Hunter to me.

“I know. But why is it so hard for you to understand that I wasn’t left with a choice? Do you have any idea how happy I was to marry you? You were my happiness that I had deserved over the years. Sam! I wish this hadn’t happened, but even now that I am marked, I can’t stop worrying about you.” I began to sob softly into the phone.

“I don’t know what could be done now. You wanted to stay close to Turner, and Hunter wanted you both. I guess everyone got something except for me, the little laugh from his side was so heartbreaking.

It was like a reminder that everyone had messed up here and there, and the only one who didn’t was the one getting punished.

Samuel! I can’t see you this upset. Please tell me, how can I help you with this pain?” I asked, and noticed that he went silent for a while, as if he was genuinely considering my offer.

That was good because I wanted to help him.

“Be mine!” he whispered so low that I closed my eyes and placed the phone on my chest because I didn’t know how that could happen anymore.

“Sam!” after placing the phone back to my ear, I said his name in a little utter, “I wish it was that easy.”

“Hm, I know. But don’t think I’m not going to do nothing,” and then his voice picked up energy and it gave me chills.

“What do you mean?” I inquired.

“I will make sure the council realizes they cannot just steal someone’s child from them because they are rogues,” I knew a part of the reason the council didn’t want to give me the entire custody was because they didn’t want the alpha king’s kids to live in a rogue community with a rogue king for a father.

“I-,” I was going to say something when the phone got snatched out of my hands.

“You are sick to call someone’s mate at this time of night, Hunter yelled into the phone, making me jump to grab the phone. but he raised his hand, making sure I didn’t get close to him.

“What are you doing? Give me my phone back!” I yelled, attempting to reach for my phone, but his height advantage came in handy.

“Your mate? You stole her from me by force,” Sam yelled so hard that I was able to hear those words even when the phone wasn’t even on speaker.

“*uck you! You just need to understand that she can’t be yours anymore. Now go *uck yourself,” Hunter yelled before he hung up and then glared at me while keeping his hand with the phone up in the air.

“You’re going to betray me again?” his eyes turned red as he watched my face. “How could you? How could you feel the pain

of everyone but mine?” he screamed so loud that I instantly stepped back from him.

*I am your f*cking mate, feel for me!” his outrageous way of yelling and hunching over me shocked me before I shook my head and let him know he couldn’t control me.

“Feel for you? Why would I when our reunion is nothing but an act of blackmailing. You pressured me into accepting you, did you forget that?” I yelled back in disbelief that he was acting like he had caught me cheating like I was supposed to be loyal to him.

“I dont f*cking care, you are my mate now. He is nothing to you He is just your ex who you need to stop mentioning and talking to.” Hunter was increasingly getting angrier with every pissing second.

“Hunter! He’s not my ex. We’re still mates If you think by forcing me to mark you, you’ve broken my bond with Sam, then you’re wrong. Just like you can have two mates, I can have two, rose to my tiptoes and said those words to his face.

He watched my face for a few seconds before he threw my phone on the bed and muttered in my face, “Then I’ll make sure that bond breaks
