Chapter 116


    Chapter 116


    Reyna Cruz:


    I was fuming and losing my mind. Initially, I wanted to head to a hotel in the pack, but after my son


    sided with Hunter, I was so mad that I decided to leave the pack and join the roguemunity for


    the night. I didn’t even consider the dangers I might face; it was already risky to be out on the road


    in the roguemunity at night. And to add to the trouble, things were even riskier now.


    However, I managed to make it back to my house in my own car It was all ruined now, thanks to


    Hunter.


    I can’t believe Hunter did all that, I sighed, walking into the living room and seeing the broken


    window.


    “He messed up, but do you think he’s behind what happened to Polline? Nera spoke up, her voice


    as skeptical as Mrs. Sparrow and Turner’s


    “He admitted to visiting her home just minutes before the fire started, Tuttered, shaking my head at


    the memory of Polline: and realizing Hunter might be behind her murder. If that is the case, I will


    never forgive Hunter.


    But he didn’t admit to starting the fire, she argued, and I frowned at her.


    Haven’t we learned already that Hunter is capable of anything? almost grunted at her. I don’t know


    what had gotten into me, but I was really upset with Hunter. I didn’t want to believe his lies anymore,


    not after so much of his deceit had been exposed to me.


    Tunderstand he’s done many messed up things. He had done a lot of stuff but he never crossed the


    line, Nera defended him, though it didn’t sit well with me. I sat on the dirty couch and snapped at


    her.


    ‘Seriously: Taking full custody of Turner isn’t bad. Ruining our house isn’t crossing a line? Nera, just


    admit that you were beginning to fall for him when I interrupted your happy moments with him and


    brought you here with me, I shouted at her, not realizing how loudly I was speaking. She suddenly


    went silent, and it irked me. I felt lonely, and nobody seemed to agree with me.


    You are being biased right now, I added and she remained silent. I was getting annoyed with


    everyone not agreeing with me. Even when it was clear that Hunter had a lot of evidence agonst


    him.


    Now you want to give me the silent treatment just because I said something remotely against your


    beloved mate? I hissed a her, trying to provoke a response. Being in the roguemunity was


    really risky for me, and I was already doubting my decision toe here at this hour of the night.


    Fine, stay silent, 1 hissed and leaned back on the couch, resting my head. Hunter had been blowing


    up my phone, so I did what I needed to do to avoid him for a few hours, 1 blocked him.


    “Ugh” I groaned, pulling my knees up on the couch and hugging myself. It was so cold here, and the


    broken windows allowed the cold wind toe in.


    I hate it here, I said, sitting up and covering my face with my hands. I wanted to cry, but knowing


    Nera would question me again, I held back my tears.


    Just when I thought I was lonely. Samuel called again. He had called me before, but I couldn’t


    receive his calls because Hunter was constantly trying to snatch the phone out of my hands. I


    answered the call but didn’t say a word.


    “Are you okay?” he asked, sounding worried.


    “Why do you care? Didn’t you say that you’re done with me?” I frowned, shaking my head in


    disbelief. The fact that he took his anger out on me when I was grieving the loss of l’olline also


    upset me. It was like everybody was ming me for everything I was stuck in the middle, and


    somehow. I had be a reason that the rogues and pack thembers were at odds

    Chapter 116


    “I was angry,” he quickly said, letting out a deep breath.


    63%


    “Everybody is angry except for me. I’m the easy target. Whoever wants to me me or use me,


    they just do it,” my frustration stemmed from leaving my kid crying in the pack when I had promised


    to be there for him. I married Hunter just so I wouldn’t leave my son alone in that mansion, and


    tonight. I freaking left the mansion, walking out with my son crying for me.


    “Reyna! You sound stressed out. Where are you right now?” he asked with heavy grunts. “Reyna!


    Tell me. I heard from my people that somebody saw you in the roguemunity. Where are you?


    Are you at your ce?” He was forcing me to respond by bombarding me with too many questions


    “I don’t know,” I couldn’t tell him where I was. I just didn’t want to ask for his help or face him again


    with so much happening.


    I hung up the call andy down on the couch, curling into a ball and closing my eyes to rest a bit. I


    knew the danger of sleeping in a ce with no guards and no barriers to prevent intruders from


    coming in. But I was also tired, so I justy down. After a few minutes of dozing off and then waking


    myself up to stay on high alert, I suddenly saw someone walk into the house, which made me sit up


    in rm.


    “Hey! I have wolfbane-, I yelled in fright but got interrupted when Sam showed up with his hands up.


    “Please don’t use it on me,” he joked with a straight face. I sighed and sat down again, my body


    hunched over, my face in my hands. He took steady steps to approach me and then sat beside me.


    “What are you doing here, Sam?” I asked without even uncovering my face from my hands.


    Reyna, I’vee to take you home, he stated in a soft voice.


    “I don’t need to go anywhere. I am home,” I argued, scoffing into my palms as I rubbed my face


    tiredly.


    “Please don’t argue or make it difficult. The rogues are very upset with the recent happenings,” he


    continued, only stopping when I uncovered my face from my hands and stared at him. Well, it was


    like I caught him in his own words now and he understood that I did.


    “So, you admit that the roguemunity is not a safe ce anymore?” I was so annoyed that I was


    ready to call out everyone tonight. He had told mest time too that the rogues were angry and


    wanted to go to war with the people of the pack, yet when I said the same thing. he made it seem


    like I was taking sides.


    “I get it. I said some things that were not the right way to deal with this matter, but you need to


    understand where I aming from,” he was much calmer now, but I wasn’t. I had a huge


    argument at home with my son present. I didn’t even know what was going to happen next. Would? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    my son even understand my point of view? Did leaving him there make things different between us?


    Because my son’s fear was the fear of abandonment.


    “And I wasn’t dealing with anything? Sam, I lost Polline, and you told me that I couldn’t evene


    to her funeral,” I almost hissed at him, but since I was tired, I didn’t raise my voice that much.


    “That was wrong. I shouldn’t have said that. But please, right now, let’s go home with me, and then


    we can decide what needs to be done,” he requested, and I gave him a frown.


    “About what?” I questioned.


    There’s footage the rogues got of Hunter outside Polline’s house. I got it; I can show it to you. But


    please, let’s go home. I don’t want you to freeze to death, he added and got up, pulling his hand out


    for me.


    I was stunned to hear about the footage, and even though Hunter had admitted to visiting Polline, I


    thought about seeing it myself just once. So, I agreed. Besides, it was really unsafe to be in this


    broken house now. I held his hand and got up. following him to my car outside.
