Reyna Cruz:
I slept through the whole night as if my life depended on it. Tha couch felt sofortable. I never
thought I would sleep so peacefully after having such a rough night. By the time I started waking up,
the morning light was already streaming through the windows.
“Ahmm!” I groaned and switched sides just as I was about to tumble off the couch, alerted by a
voice.
“Hey!” Samuel eximed, rushing over and sliding his hands under me to prevent me from falling.
He prevented me from falling and hitting my head.
“Sorry!” I grumpily responded, turning to the other side again before realizing I was at Samuel’s
ce. I quickly opened my eyes and sat up. He was standing next to the firece, adding more
wood to keep the fire going.
“Good morning.” he greeted, “you slept like a baby,” he joked, turning to nce at my face. I was
shocked that I slept here as if I didn’t leave a crying son behind.
“I can’t believe this,” 1 muttered under my breath, jumping off the couch and scanning the room for
my cellphone.
“Your cellphone,” Sam pointed at the phone on the small table next to the couch. I grabbed it but
sighed immediately upon finding it out of power.
“Ugh!” I sighed, sinking back into the couch when my head began to ache.
“Are you okay! You shouldn’t be so anxious first thing in the morning,” he said, shaking his head and
taking a seat on the single sofa.
“Sam! I can’t act like I’m all fine when my son probably hasn’t even slept the whole night. I should
have at least told them where I was going now that my anger had passed, I was realizing how
unreasonably I acted.
*I don’t think you should be ming yourself. You couldn’t possibly stand Hunter, and now that
you’ve seen the proofst night, I don’t know why you would even answer him for the missing
hours,” he hunched over, his elbows on his thighs, and his fingers intertwined.
“Oh, the video,” I closed my eyes and then rubbed my face in my hands. I didn’t evenment on
the videost night and passed out.
“But Sam, that video doesn’t prove that he started the fire,” the minute I said that, I watched a frown
appear on his forehead.
“It does not? Then what would prove that Hunter was behind it all?” his voice suddenly raised,
taking me off guard.
“It’s a very big usation. We cannot just call someone guilty based on them being present at the
location minutes before the fire started,” I said it out loud and heard myself clearly, feeling a bit guilty
for trying to defend Hunter when the video seemed like giving his crime away.
“Aha! Then you want Hunter to admit it. Only then would you ept? Or maybe–not even then. You
are just blinded by his love,” he got up and shocked me with his yelling and usations
“I am not in love with him. Just because I am defending him, you think I have fallen for him again?” I
felt odd lying when I admitted to my wolfst night that I was indeed still in love with Hunter.
“Reyna! Then what do you call your behavior? You let him marry you, mark you on our wedding day,
and then you began to take care of him. While acting like a good mother, you proved to be a very
bad mate to me, the tears in his eyespelled me to lower my head,
“Fine. You can defend him all you want, but I won’t forgive him for the death of my people,” he
shouted, and my body

shuddered.
“Polline had be a family to me, as he mentioned her, I raised my head and watched him shake
his head at me in disapproval
“She was the only one after you who showed care to me. You can look away from the truth, but I
wouldn’t. I want justice for her, and even my love for you won’t blind me from getting it done.” his
words seemed like a bitter taunt. He was using me of not wanting to get justice for Polline, and it
made me feel disgusted with myself
“I care about her too. She was like a mother to me. Sammel. Howeould you say with your full chest
that I am looking away from the truth just because of my own selfishness” I yelled back finally
tearing up and getting out of the couch to face him.
“Because that’s what you’re doing.” Hunter admited to seeing her a few minutes ago, and then he’s
caught on the footage heading toward the fuse box. Minutester, the fire started. What else is
there left to prove here?” he eximed, then did something unexpected.
He ced his hands on me and pushed me onto the couch, causing my body to shudder in
surprise.
I
As I gasped and watched him, my eyes widening, he closed his eyes and realized what he had
done.
I didn’t mean to. You just got me all worked up when you refused to believe the truth and do
whatever the heck you want to do, he said-opening his eyes and grunting, struggling with the words.
His face was turning red with anger, but I was still in shock
“Don’t look at me like it’s the worst thing I’ve done. That Hunter treated you likeplete garbage,
and you’re still defending him to this day, he scoffed, once again saying something I didn’t expect.
‘T’ll leave now,” I said, done talking to him. I’ll conduct my own investigation and even look for the
man in the video who imed to have seen Hunter messing with the fuse box
Who was this man! And what was he doing in the background!
Hut above all of that, I was hurt by Samuel’s behavior. However, as soon as I began to get up, he
got in my face and crouched down to my level
“You’re going back to him again? he hissed.
“Sam! Get out of my face the anxiety in my body grew with every passing minute from his rough
demeanor.
I tried to get away and stand up, but he kept blocking my way and making painfulments
“I get it now,” he nodded, “you treated everyone else like a da*n toy! ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
His statement once again made me stop struggling and look up to see his face.
“First, you used me, and once you got Hunter you tossed me aside And now Pauline. It’s like we
were never your priority, and as long as you and your son are living the high life, everyone else can
go to hell, he scoffed,ughing at himself while tears streamed down his face.
“You know that’s not true. I finally got up because he had stepped away from me.
“Really? Then please tell me one thing– one time you’ve done anything for anyone other than
yourself and your son?” he questioned, leaving me shocked as he put me on the spot like that
I stared at his face, and the tears streaming from his eyes filled me with guilt.
“Exactly! Never! You needed me to keep you safe here, so you agreed to ept me. You needed
Polline to stay in the roguemunity, hence you kept on good terms with her. Tell me something, it
rogues had lulled any pack member, would you

have sat silently and defended them? Or let me make it even clearer, if I had killed pack members,
would you have even looked at my face?” 1 understood exactly what he was ming me for, and it
hurt so much.
“So you think I am,” I stuttered but he intervened because he didn’t seem too shy to say it to my fare
what he wanted to say at that moment,
“You’re selfish. Reyna. You use people and then you throw them away once you get better
opportunities. You don’t have a stand. You just go with the flow. Cheating on your mate is normal for
you. You’re quick to drop one mate and move on, his portrayal of my character left me speechless. I
couldn’t even respond to him because he was hurt, and I actually did toss hirm aside after Hunter
forcibly marked me.
“And I know you’ll go back home, use my words to block me, just so that you can find an excuse to
believe Hunter and choose him over me,” he finished, and I felt my knees go weak.
“I know you well now. You only care about Turner, yourself and Hunter” he scoffed.
