Chapter 95
Hunter:
It was deeply painful to sit or even talk. All I wanted was to transition and let my wolf heal me. But that was not happening and it was concerning to some level.
I observed her gaze fixed on my face, tears welling up in her eyes. I didn’t know how to address her concerns. Maybe she feared our son catching sight of her distress in the morning and freaking out? Or maybe that our son might see my face and get scared?
That must have been why she was so worried. Or perhaps, deep flown, she was solely concerned about that jerk.
She could tell the fight we had was deadly so Samuel must have endured injuries too.
“Are you going to be okay, right?” she whispered into her palms, intermittently lifting her face to mine to ask questions.
Tll be fine, don’t worry.” I reassured her, even though I wasn’t certain of my fate myself.
The battle didn’t unfold as expected. When I arrived at the scene and she collapsed, Samuel somehow rallied his people to join the attack. It was me against a horde of rogues, probably fifty of them armed with weapons and wolfbane. They kept striking me while I fought them off. I managed to overpower Samuel initially, but then he backed off and let his cronies take
over.
I could tell they messed me up because they kept injecting something into me that left my body paralyzed. Despite that, I was still able to let Net take control and defeat them all. However, when they fled, including Samuel, I expected to revert to my human form unharmed. But that didn’t happen. I was messed up, and it left me confused
“Why didn’t you transform to heal?” Reyna’s soft whimper brought me back to reality.
I didn’t know how else to explain that I had tried, and it hadn’t worked. It didn’t make sense either. I was all messed up, and the transition should have helped me get better. However, I was aware that my body had a significant amount of silver and wolfbane in it. But then why did I transform at the sight and why can’t I transition now? After the forced transition I underwent, I should have been able to heal, but that never happened.
“I’ll be fine. I had to bring you here first,” I responded as she continued to scrutinize my face,
I was upset with her for leaving after Samuel without informing me. But after the whole fight, I didn’t want to bring it up. Besides, I was worried that if I did, she might blame herself for my condition, which was not her fault. I had pursued her on
my own.
“Now, rest. One of us has to attend to Turner in the morning,” 1 instructed her, watching her shake her head, somewhat reluctantly.
“What do you mean by that? Why won’t you heal?” she asked, her tears replaced by a frown. It was like she was not going to let this topic drown.
“Reyna, I think there’s still some wolfbane in my system, so I began, and she narrowed her eyes at me.
“Samuel used wolfbane on you?” she tilted her head.
“Not him, his people,” I clarified.
“That couple?” I didn’t know what she wanted to glean from all these questions, but I had nothing to add to it. She would never see Samuel in the wrong fight, so there was no point in discussing him.
If anything, hearing his name was exacerbating my pain, and I was already in agony.

Chapter 95
“Can I please just lie down and rest now?” I asked her once I couldn’t tolerate the pain anymore. Talking to her required all the strength in my body so that I wouldn’t say anything stupid and upset her.
“How can you rest like that?” I could see my reflection in her eyes and tell she was witnessing a hideous monster before her
eyes.
Tll be fine,” I attempted to get up, but she gently held my wrist to stop me.
“Sit here, I’ll try to clean up these wounds,” she said, staring at my face and then at my neck before sighing.
“I will do it, just sit here,” she warned me not to leave the bed and left for the bathroom to grab the aid box.
I stayed where she had asked me to and watched her return. She sat cross-legged in front of me and started applying the ointment all over my hands before she gulped and motioned for me to open my shirt. After a brief pause and realization that I was missing some nails, she took the opportunity to help me. She unbuttoned my shirt, leaving me shirtless, and 1 could tell from the look on her face that she didn’t expect to find any more wounds on my body.
“You must be in so much pain,” she commented, making me keep watching her face lovingly.
“It’s alright. You will be fine, she uttered, rubbing her soft hands with ointment over my chest. To be honest, I was feeling fine. Seeing her up close and feeling her touch was like the best drug to case the pain in my body.
After taking care of my back and body, she finally positioned herself in front of me and began to clean my neck.
“You are so stupid. Why did you fight him?” she whispered, trying to ease the awkward tension as I kept staring at her face like a hungry person. Even when I could tell she was concerned about him, it didn’t anger me. How could I get angry at such an adorable creature sitting so close to me!
“He is fine.” I said, and she shifted her gaze to me, her fingers rubbing the ointment on the mark on my
face.
“You say that one more time, and I will open the other cheek for you,” she muttered under her breath, anger flashing in her eyes. “I am talking about you. I am worried about you, Hunter.”
“Reyna! I will not come before Turner for a few days, and he will not notice. We can make up a lie that I am not in the pack
As I continued to ramble, I watched her frown deepen, and my voice began to fade.
“Keep talking, and I will mess you up worse than this,” she hissed
“I am not trying to get you frustrated, I am just saying that you are not worried about anything anymore.” I tried explaining because it would suck for her to leave my sight angrily
“And why do you believe I am worried?” she stared at my face, not even looking disgusted.
“That I either hurt Samuel or our son might see me in this state and get traumatized,” I was being honest with her. With all the pain in my body, I couldn’t bring myself to lie to her.
However she didn’t look too convinced as she shook her head aggressively,
“Shut up! I am not worried because Turner will see you like this, F*cking a*shole of an alpha king, I am worried because–1 know you are in pain.” With that, her voice broke, and tears streamed down her face
“You are—worried about me?” I couldn’t believe my ears. She stared at my face with big tears ready to leave her eyes before she nodded faintly.
I was shocked. She wasn’t worried for any other reason but because I was in pain.
