Chapter 25
Reyna Cruz:
“Excuse us, please, Jeffrey apologized, while Hunter gestured for me to follow them outside. I was
still in shock from what I had just heard. I trailed behind them, feeling miserable and keeping my
head down, lost in thoughts about our encounters.
It now made sense why he was in the woods and why his wolf was so powerful. But throughout that
time, couldn’t he have mentioned even once that he was a rogue king? It wouldn’t have changed
my decision, but I wouldn’t have made those ridiculousments about him in front of him.
As the shock of remembering those statements hit me, I found myself under the scrutiny of Hunter
and Jeffrey.
“What were you doing?” Jeffrey asked more kindly, taking charge as he noticed Hunter’s inclination
to question me.
“… I was trying to make him feelfortable,” I stuttered, avoiding eye contact.
“By dragging him?” Hunter retorted.
“I wasn’t dragging him. I was offering to help him with his coat, I corrected him with a more
borate lie. They would be fools to believe my words.
“It seemed like you were forcibly undressing him,” Hunter hissed, and I cleared my throat.
“It’s my way of being friendly, okay? Now, you do realize that he might get suspicious about why
we’re not with him and having a private discussion outside the office. He might think we’re gossiping
about him, I shrugged, trying to divert their attention. The two looked at me with the same puzzled
expression one might have when witnessing someone acting strangely around someone they’ve
just met.
“She’s right; he must be wondering where we went,” Jeffrey sided with me, knowing that we were
wasting time on this conversation. There was no way I could exin my behavior to them. However,
Hunter appeared displeased, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes narrowed at me as if he’d caught
me cheating on him. Well, he hadn’t, and I believed he was angry because he didn’t want to upset
his friend, business partner, or whatever Samuel was.
Finally breaking his gaze, Hunter nodded in agreement, leading the way. Facing Samuel again
was going to be awkward, especially when I thought he hade here to plead for my
eptance.
Are we going to talk about it or not?‘ Nera’s anxious voice echoed within me.
‘Let’s wait a little.‘ I uttered, taking a deep breath and nning to deal with the meeting first.
Stepping back into the office, I was surprised to see Samuel standing by therge window, his coat
off, and the file from my bag in his hand.
“He went through my stuff, I muttered to Jeffrey, who looked just as lost as I did.
“He never usually does anything like that. I guess this is what you get for going through his coat,
Jeffreymented a little yfully, making me unfurl the lines from my forehead and watch him
with my lips forming a straight line..
“I am so sorry for earlier. How are you? The way Hunter uttered the words and then stepped ahead
for a hug with a huge smile on his lips made my heart twist inside my chest.
“They’re best friends,” Jeffrey whispered as he observed my bewilderment.
Wonderful! Was there any other shock awaiting me!
“You already know Jeffrey, and this is the copywriter you hired and requested for,” Hunter pointed at
me but quickly diverted attention by gesturing to the file in Samuel’s hand. “You already read it?”

Tam line. Thank you for asking and for hiring me” I replied. Slowly, the worry about my position in
thepany began to creep in Was it a coincidence that I was requested by the rogue king, who
turned out to be my second chance mate?
“Why don’t we have a seat and talk about the project? Reyna is really good at presenting her
projects, Jeffrey praised me when all I wanted was to be invisible.
“Nure, I would love to hear Reyna talk,” I almost choked on my dry saliva at his choice of words.
Hunter was bing suspicious of our interaction, with his head down, ring at us through his
eyebrows.

The next two hours were extremely difficult for me. I had never been in a situation where two
attractive men were ring at me while I gave a presentation, pretending d not felt a mate bound
with either of them in my life.
“I liked it. I would like to suggest some changes, but let’s leave it for some other day, Samuel
straightened his back, giving me a look that indicated he wasn’t impressed. He was starting to get
on my nerves.
“Reynal Where do you live? His question froze me just as I got up to pack my stull.
Before I could respond, he added, “Either I wille to your ce, or I will send you my address.
We can talk about the changes; no need to bother these two with this project.”
A shiver ran up iny spine while Fuster shook his head to make sure he heard him right.
“What do you mean by bothering us? This is part of our job, I don’t mind. Let’s discuss the changes
now,” Hunter smiled with force, attempting to sound yful, but I noticed the clenching of his jaw, I
bet he was afraid I would take all the credit for this project. He wanted to be a part of it to keep
bothering me
“Hat you have other matters to take care of as well. It is fine for us. I haven’t seen Reyna’s house
from the inside. I mean, she is a rogue, so I would want to visit my people’s house to see how they
are doing, Samuel looked a little taken aback by Hunter’s sudden objection. I wasn’t even talking
anymore. It wasn’t like I could tell him to note to my house. He is a fucking rogue king
