Reyna Cruz
“Samuel,” I began, narrowing my eyes as he looked at me, “what do you mean by “no?”
“I mean, no! I can’t marry you. I replied calmly, despite the tension rising. Samuel raised his brow
and tightened his grip on
his waist.
“Reyna, it’s not the time to dwell on the conversation you just had with him. Polline said, gently
rubbing my back. She knew why I was questioning Sam so much. But she thought maybe that’s
why I was saying no to the wedding as well.
While Samuel was grappling with his emotions and couldn’t understand what was going on in my
head, Polline was trying to decipher my feelings behind the inquiries.
“Is that why you’re saying no?” Samuel asked, loosening his hand, from his waist.
“I’m upset because I found you kissing him. Obviously, I’m not going to respond perfectly,” Samuel’s
tone shifted.
I knew he was angry, but beyond that, I couldn’t marry him now it wasn’t even about what he said,
Hunter had made sure that he traps me well.
“I just can’t, I uttered, covering my face with my hands and shaking my head.
“Why?” Polline asked.
“Reyna, don’t be childish. I’m sorry, okay? We’ll deal with this issue. I’ll speak to Hunter and make
him realize that this idea is bad and it will make Turner suffer. He’ll agree to joint custody, Samuel
spoke differently now.
It hurt me to see him ept me even after watching me kiss my ex
“It’s not that,” I said, releasing my face from my hands and looking away as I hugged myself.
“Then what is it? Is it because I said random nonsense out of frustration?” he questioned, trying to
hold my arms, but I stepped back.
Meanwhile, Polline was gently fixing my hair, her fingers moving slowly around the area where the
new mark was. I began to wonder if she had seen it or was suspicious of it. Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“No,” I replied, shaking at the thought of telling him why I couldn’t marry
him.
“Then? Did he ckmail you or something?” Samuel was slowly piecing together the reality. Before
that, Polline gasped, and I turned to look at her. She kept her mouth covered but then straightened
her back to avoid drawing attention. She had seen the mark but stayed silent. Did she think I didn’t
want to tell Sam and marry him as well?
“Samuel, Hunter gave me two options,” I spoke softly, finally beginning to exin the whole
conversation I had with Hunter.
“What options?” he grunted, already picking up on the heat
“He’s going to take Turner the moment he leaves this room,” I said, and Samuel nodded his head.
“So he’s already gone?” He didn’t even let me finish.
“Hear me out first,” I said. “Either he leaves with him, or I cancel the wedding and marry him
instead”
As soon as those words left my lips, Samuel grunted, and Polling covered herce with her hands
because she already knew what decision I had made:

“That jerk, Samuel threw another punch in the air and then calmed himself down by doing some
breathing exercise.

“It’s okay. I won’t let him get away with this. How dare he think he could ask my mate to marry him,”
Samuel stood, still not understanding anything, and it was driving me nuts now,
“Samuel! I’ve already made my decision,” I said, noticing a frown on his forehead.
“Is that why you’re saying no to marrying me? Did you tell him you will marry him?” he finally
understood, and the first thing he did was yell at me.
“How could you even think of doing this to me?” he screamed, trying to get to me when Polline
pushed him away.
She had now be my shield.
“Reyna! Don’t let him ckmail you. Turner is his child too. So what if he gets full custody. Let him
take the responsibility for a while. Turner will get back to you, he started the same suggestions once
again. I could tell he thought I was worrying over nothing. But the thought of being away from my
son was too much for me. His security was also my priority.
“Don’t let him ckmail you. Marry me, I will fix everything,” he insisted as he calmed his voice
down.
“I can’t marry you anymore.” I closed my eyes, and before he could repeat himself again, I added,
“because I have already marked and epted him.”
It took me all my courage to say that, and the minute I finished saying that, I saw Samuel
go silent.
He took a few steps back and then started shaking his head.
“No! You are lying, You are saying this because you are upset with me over my nonsense, the way
he was in disbelief made me feel even guiltier.
“Sam, I didn’t know what else to do, I couldn’t leave my son,” as I tried to exin, he returned and
grasped my arms.
“So you left me? Was it that easy for you to drop me for your sore Was there no other alternative?
It’s not like he was taking Turner to some other dimension, Reyna. You just dropped me over a deal
that could have been easily avoided,” he began to scream and shake my body.
I was now hyperventting. My skin was covered in goosebumps at the arrival of Sam’s wolf.
“You need to understand that she never would have done it if Tara wasn’t living there. Tara is a
dangerous person. She had even ruined their first rtionship so cun*ningly, Polline began to take
my side, but Sam was ignoring her entirely now. I was also already so shaken up and guilty that I
couldn’t fight for myself at the thought of doing him even dirtier.
I knew he would not understand, nobody would. So I let him take his anger out on me as much as
he could. But I never thought he would cross all the limits when doing so.
“I will not let you humiliate me after I have stayed beside you and done so much for you,” he refused
to let go.
“Samuel, please set her free,” Polline tried to free me, but Sam pushed her away, making her drop
on the couch. I was now worried and anxious.
“I am going to mark you. Let the war between the mates begin then, as he announced his decision
and dug his face into my neck, I lost my senses.
I did not expect that to happen.
“Not
Polline yelled when she saw what he was doing.
