Chapter 37


    Reyna Cruz:


    It’s been two days since Hunter donated his blood to my son, who is now on the fast track to


    recovery. I can’t believe it’s all


    over 30 50on


    When I first heard about my son’s ordeal, it felt like the world hade to a standstill. Every minute


    without seeing his face was pure agony.


    “Mommy!” Turner whispered softly, snapping me out of my sleep and bringing a smile to my face.


    He woke up a day ago but hasn’t been very talkative.


    “I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you, he mumbled, looking visibly upset.


    “Hey, it’s all fine now. You’re getting better, and we’re taking you home in the morning,” I pulled the


    chair closer and held his hand, kissing the back of it. This kid has no idea how many tears I’ve


    shed seeing him in that state. I wouldn’t have survived if anything had happened to him.


    “I shouldn’t have gone there,” he mumbled, indicating he wanted to talk about that day.


    “It’s okay. We’ll talk about it some other day when you’re fully healed, okay? I don’t want you to put


    more pressure on your brain or worry about anything.


    I didn’t me him for the choices he made; he just wanted to meet his father.


    “But I’ll never do that again,” he dered, leaving me curious about what exactly he meant.


    I didn’t let him exin and encouraged him to rest. His bandages were off, and he was healing


    rapidly, but he still needed time to regain his strength.


    Morning arrived, and Polline came to the hospital to pack our things and apany us when


    Turner gets discharged.


    “Samuel! Why are you here so early?” I asked as I was about to leave the room to speak to the


    doctor. I bumped into Samuel, who seemed to be heading to our room with a giant Thanos hand


    toy for Turner.


    “I came here for Thanos,” he said dramatically, eyeing the hand that he tried to wear, but it didn’t fit


    him.


    “You really didn’t have to,” I offered aforting smile and noticed how quickly his checks turned


    red.


    “You’ve done a lot for me in the past few days, Samuel. I could never have expected things to go so


    well without you,” I expressed genuine apology for pushing him away and treating him as if he were


    the worst second chance mate.


    “It’s okay. It’s not like you knew me well. I do have a tendency to get on people’s nerves,” he


    pouted, making me smile.


    “Were you heading somewhere?” he asked, recalling how hastily I was leaving the room.


    “Oh yeah, I wanted to meet Ram to discuss our discharge. Hospitals make me itch,” I said, followed


    by a big nod from him.


    “I understand,” he agreed, “but I’ve already talked to him. All the expenses are paid, so we’re ready


    to go,” Samuel added, attempting to walk past me. My intervention stopped him.


    “The expenses are paid–did you?” I almost yelled, surprised by his generosity.


    “Don’t start. Would you rather have let Hunter pay? I had to do it because he wouldn’t stop insisting


    on paying for the hospital fees,” he exined, and a frown appeared on my forehead. After that day,


    Hunter tried toe here, but Turner didn’t react well to his arrival, so Ram had to tell him off.


    I was d he didn’te back and respected Tumer’s decision for now. Turner only wanted to see


    me, Polline, and now Samuel too, as I noticed Turner staring at the Thanos hand from inside the


    room.


    “Thank you,” I said to Samuel, without causing him to dy, or my son would get even more curious


    about the toy. We stormed back inside, and seeing Samuel interact so nicely with my son warmed


    my heart.


    The way Samuel knew him so well was surprising but also heartwarming. I just stood in the corner


    and watched them talk about superheroes. Later, it was Samuel who drove us back home. Polline


    had arranged a great wee party for Turner, but she had to cancel the invitations to his friends


    at thest minute when Turner expressed that he didn’t want to meet anyone. I had noticed that


    something was deeply bothering my son, but I wasn’t going to pester him about it until he decided to


    talk about it himself.


    “Bye! Drive carefully,” I yelled at Samuel, who nodded and slid inside the car. He had spent the


    entire day at our home, cheering up Turner by watching Marvel movies with him.


    “It’s not like he’s not the rogue king who can take care of himself,” Polline’s sudden remark made


    me smile at her uneasily.


    “You were totally smitten by him the whole day, sheughed, giggling afterward when I frowned.


    “No, I wasn’t,” I refused to agree with her. But it was true that after the whole incident, I hade to


    the realization that I had been holding back my heart from falling in love with him. The instant I let it


    happen, I found him quite charming.


    “I even caught you stealing nces at him, Reyna! I think it’s time that you move on from your past


    and ept your present and make it your future. Polline held my hand to make this yful


    conversation more serious.


    “Even Turner needs a father,” she made it clear she was suggesting that I ept Samuel now.


    “I don’t know” I tried to walk away, but her grasp around my arm was very tight this time when she


    held me


    “I think you know, and you’re ready too. It had been long overdue. Ask yourself what you want; I’m


    sure your wolf and heart will suggest the same thing as I am suggesting, she murmured and then


    finally let me go.


    I rushed back to my room and sat down on my bed, getting ready to ask my wolf that question.

    “What do you think?” I bit my bottom lip when asking that question.


    I nervously anticipated her response, and when she answered, I almost felt my heart sink in my


    chest.


    “The mate bond is making me think crazily for Samuel. I have a feeling that sooner orter, we will


    go in heat, and then–we will need our mate.”
