    Reyna Cruz


    She kept kissing him, holding onto him without any hint of letting him go, and I stood behind the


    wall, witnessing it all,


    I was struck with this horror that I couldn’t exin. It just didn’take any sense why they were this


    close? Was it just a one time thing or were they doing it behind everyone’s back all along?


    Finally, Jeffery broke free and gently pushed her away. The look of sorrow on her face after his


    rejection silenced her, and


    She frowned


    “What happened?” she asked softly, blinking her eyes constantly and staring at him like she is the


    most innocent person


    “We shouldnt do this,” Jeffery uttered, a frown forming on his forehead. He seemed upset and it


    wasn’t because he had to break the kiss. It seemed like he was upset with her but also not because


    she kissed him. I just couldn’t learn a lot from his holynguage.


    “Why?” she ced her hands on her waist and questioned him. I was stunned to see her react to


    his rejection like a brat. I Imagined her to agree with him since she had been iming to be in love


    with Hunter only but here she was, demanding a kiss from Jellery!


    “I can’t do this. I’m loyal to Alpha King Hunter,” Jeffery responded, making Tara weirdly gasp as if


    she didn’t know that already


    “1” she stomped her foot but then decided to say nothing at all and leave.


    I’ll be in my room, she hissed


    “You’re not going to attend the event?” Jeffery questioned, and in response, she scoffed. The way


    she was rolling her eyes at hum and acting like hemitted a crime by pushing him away was just


    astonishing.


    “To hell with you and the event. If Hunter isn’t at the event, I don’t need to be there either,” she


    shrugged and grabbed her dress, I had to sneakily make my way back to the Royal hall to avoid


    bumping into her.


    I was still shocked to see her throw herself at Jeffery. However, the way he didn’t immediately pull


    away from her surprised me a linle. 1 began to wonder what was going on between the two of them.


    I stayed in the crowd until I saw Jeffery appear. He had wiped off the lipstick and fixed his hair. I


    made my way to him and watched him give me a nod.


    Luna Queen” he tried to joke, unaware that I had so many questions regarding him.


    “You brought her back!” I didn’t want to instantly confront him and make him go silent on me.


    “Yeah, she’s resting in her room. I don’t think she’ll being downstairs again,” he added.


    “That’s not a problem. In fact, that’ll be one less issue. I joked, and heughed.


    “So, Jeffery!” I cleared my throat as he picked up a ss of wine from a passing waiter.


    “Yes?” he asked, sipping from the ss


    “You must have been informed by Hunter where he is.” I said, and he nodded, deciding not to add


    morementary to keep the topic from being overheard by anyone.


    However, I continued, “you must be really close to Hunter.”


    “Yeah, I’ve worked with him for a very long time. He was nice enough to appoint me to such a big


    position, and status,” he

    smiled, mentioning all the favor Hunter had shown him.


    63%


    “Ah! So you weren’t always a beta?” I asked because I knew he hadn’t used to be the royal beta


    before. I would have never found out if Mrs. Sparrow hadn’t told me that he was currently getting


    ready to be the official royal beta.


    “No! I used to be an omega. But I really worked hard to make my wolf grow in strength,” he said,


    almost as if he would love to brag about his achievements.


    “Aha! Then you must have been aware of his first mate and rejection, 1 folded my arms over my


    chest, and he finally understood why I had been asking him so many questions. He turned to me


    and gulped loudly.


    “About that!” he got it, “I didn’t want to be questioned. I was told by Hunter to keep an eye on you


    and the rogue king, So I thought if I acted like I knew you, you would start being cautious around


    me,” he mumbled and bit his tongue, “sorry!”


    “Really? But you never even introduced yourself as someone who knew me when I first met you.


    The rogue king came wayter in our lives,” I tried to jokingly point out a discrepancy in his story all


    the while keep noticing his bodynguage. He did look a little disturbed.


    “Oh! You mean why didn’t I immediately recognize you when you first came to the office?” he


    opened his mouth wide when thinking about that day and smiled at himself. “I didn’t in the


    beginning. But then I did and thought it would make you feel uneasy, so I didn’t bring it up.” he was


    back to smiling and drinking from his wine.


    There was no way he wasn’t aware of the judgmental look on my face.


    “But why did you think it would make me feel ufortable?” I tilted my head and watched him


    look away, probably hoping for someone toe to his rescue.


    His actions made me raise my brow at him. And then to his rescue, my son appeared.


    “Mommy! I love my grandparents, do you know grandad used to sneak out of the pack when he was


    a kid and would always get scolded when he was caught?” Turner asked as he quickly approached


    me.


    “Yeah i have heard of this story many times,” I tapped my hand on his cheek and noticed that


    Jeffery was beginning to slip


    away.


    “Why don’t you go and keep apanying them while I finish my discussion with Jeffery?” As soon


    as I mentioned him, he stopped in his tracks since he realized I wasn’t letting him get away so


    easily.


    “Sure! And then I will introduce them to Jeffery, Turner smiled for the royal beta and he smiled back


    at him. I swear my s seemed like a way out of this mess for him but I didn’t let it happen. Jeffery had


    to answer me loud and clear about the questions I had in my mind.


    “Because it would bring up the trial. I thought you would feel ashamed and guilty to make eye


    contact with me after I talked about the way you betrayed Hunter,” he rushed over the words as if he? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    was quickly trying to finish the topic.


    “Oh!” I nodded, “that reminds me of something. You were the one who was part of the investigation,


    right?” I was no longer pretending to smile, and he noticed it too.


    “Reyna! I’m sorry if 1 upset you by being part of that investigation. But I didn’t know you personally


    back then, and I did what I was asked to do by the Alpha King,” he mumbled in an apologetic tone.


    And you know me personally now? You still spied on me, that was my attempt to remind him of his


    actions that even if he is asked to do something against me by Hunter, he would do it again. I mean,


    he did spy on me and Samuel. All those times when Hunter would magically and identally


    appear before us or intervene in our date nights, it was because Jeffery had been relying on


    information to Hunter by spying on us.


    “I don’t care that you were part of the investigation. That is literally what Alpha King’s subjects are


    supposed to do, to follow his orders and serve him rightfully. However, I paused when I noticed a


    frown forming on his forehead. Now, even he seemed confused and lost at where I was going.
