    Chapter 109


    Reyna Cruz:


    Hunter had left and didn’t return the entire night. I tried calling him, but it was of no use since he had


    left his phone back home. Eventually, Iy down with my son, and while waiting for Hunter’s arrival,


    I fell asleep. I woke up to Turner gently nudging me to get my attention.


    “Hmm?” I sleepily rubbed my eyes, and when I opened them, I saw my son sitting on the bed,


    staring at my face.


    “Mom! Where is dad?” He seemed so concerned that I quickly blinked away the sleep and cleared


    my throat to answer him.


    “He leftst night to go for a run in the woods,”


    “So why hasn’t he returned yet?” He sounded so sad when questioning me. I checked the time and


    realized it was already 10


    am.


    “Oh shoot!” I quickly got out of bed and gestured at Turner to follow me. I was worried about that


    myself. Why wouldn’t Hunter have returned already?


    “Lets get ready for the day and then we can go ask for Hunter, okay?” I told Turner, decoding to


    freshen up first. I helped Turner get a shower and freshen up while I fixed myself up in the next few


    minutes. By the time we were ready and heading downstairs, I found Mrs. Sparrow in the garden


    with breakfast being served for all of us.


    “Good morning,” she smiled at us, but her smile faded when she noticed Turner with his lips curled


    downwards.


    “What happened to my prince? Come here,” she held her arms up for him, and hended in her


    embrace. Before I could let her know that Hunter had left and nevere back, she brought it up


    herself.


    “By the way, I woke up to Hunter calling me from a call booth,” she said, fixing Turner’s hair, who got


    intrigued by the news.


    “Why didn’t hee home? Why call you?” I should have kept those questions to myself because it


    seemed like I was more concerned about why he didn’t call me directly.


    “I don’t know, I just woke up to him calling my phone. He told me he was having a transition crisis,


    so he had to stay longer in the woods, and that we don’t need to worry about his absence as he is


    not leaving the pack,” she exined, and Turner sighed in relief.


    I wasn’t fully satisfied with it. What did he mean by transition crisis? He told me he was


    transforming. The alpha king doesn’t take time. And even if he does, it has to be only a few minutes


    or at most, hours if it was because of his condition.


    However, I kept my calm and attended breakfast in silence. So I guessed I would ask him the


    burning questions once he returns now. But before that, I sat down with my son to ask him


    something. Ever since Sam used Hunter of all those things, I couldn’t help but wonder what


    Hunter and Turner talked about the other day when Hunter went into his room. It was the day after


    our wedding.


    “Turner!” I gave him a smile, crouching behind him while he colored the superheroes in his drawing


    book.


    “Remember when your dad and you talked in the room the other day? That secret meeting you two


    had?” I tried to sound cheerful so that he knows he is not in trouble.


    “Yes!” He raised his brow at me, looking so cute when trying to act suspicious.


    “May I ask what you two talked about?” I inquired, watching him shake his head.


    “Hmm! I feel like you two are leaving me out. You two made a team and I am not even allowed in


    the private meetings,” I continued in a little tone, and my son turned around to face me.

    “Mommy! It was about you, silly. We never left you out, it’s just that it was something we were doing


    for you,” as expected, he blurted out when watching me look all sad.


    “Huh? For me? How?” I felt like I was up for a great surprise. Why was Hunter talking to Turner


    about me? And what could it possibly be about? ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    “What about me? I forced a smile, watching my son p his forehead.


    “How to make you stay here. Daddy said we need to make this ce so good for you that you


    realize you don’t want to go back home to the roguemunity again,” he replied, and a little jolt in


    my heart made me go silent for a minute. What my son was saying sounded just like what Sam had


    used Hunter of. Obviously, Hunter didn’t use the more brutal words like to make the rogue


    community unsafe for my stay


    “Ah! Okay, then it’s fine,” 1 forced a smile and patted his back. He continued to draw while I stayed


    behind him with my eyes.


    in space.


    I don’t know what’s going on, but Reyna, you need to just rx a little. Your mind has been going in


    circles, and it will only make you sick if you don’t quit worrying. Nera was probably worried for me.


    But how could I be at peace when my mate had been going aroundmitting crimes and ying


    games?


    Is Hunter really that evil?’ I mumbled as I felt tears form in my eyes.


    Let’s wait for him toe back. He must be healed, so it will be easy for us to talk about these


    issues with him again. But right now, I want to ask you something else. Something that Sam asked


    us. What is our n? Let’s just say Hunter did do all that, then what? It’s not like we can stop him.


    He has full custody of our son, and he will never let us go. But let’s just assume. if it’s all one big


    misunderstanding and Hunter had not done any of it. Then what? Do you n to stay with him? And


    what about Sam! She raised a question that made me bury my face in my hands and let out a sigh


    onto my palm. I was deeply disturbed and worried about what to do.


    I don’t know. I’m so mad at Hunter that if I could, I would run away with my son, I hissed but refused


    to act on my n since my son would refuse to go, and then Hunter would chase after me until he


    found me.


    My thoughts were interrupted when I received a call from Samuel. I knew he must be calling me to


    ask what I learned from Hunter.


    “Hey,” I answered the phone and stepped away from my son. Mrs. Sparrow had approached Turner


    with some snacks and sat down beside him on the couch to enjoy the fresh air in the garden.


    “Reyna!” His voice was low but in a way that made chills run up my spine.


    “Is everything okay?” I asked in worry.


    “I am going to tell you something, but I want you to–sit down first, he uttered with much difficulty.


    Even forming one full sentence seemed like a hard job for him.


    “Sam” What’s up? You are scaring me now,” I was getting anxious at how he was trying tofort


    me before he told me the


    news


    “Reyna! Polline, he had only said that much, and my head began to swirl around.


    “What happened to her?” I felt my wordse out in gasps. Fear had engulfed me like fire eating


    wood.


    “She–somebody set her house on fire,” he finished, and that was the moment that I dropped to my


    knees and began to hyperventte.


    “Reyna! Are you okay?” Mrs. Sparrow yelled from afar. Even my son ran in my direction, but I was


    just unable to respond


    anymore.


    It was like everything was going on, and the only person who was the most innocent in this war got


    attacked.

    “Reyna!” Mrs. Sparrow shook me awake, and I looked her way with big teary eyes.


    “Somebody set–Poline’s house on fire. I couldn’t evenprehend that I needed to ask Sam if she


    was okay. Maybe she was not even in the house at that time, but then why was he so worried about


    sharing that news with me?
