Reyna Cruz:
“Ah, still so bold to raise your voice at us, the woman attempted to step onto the porch, but Samuel
stretched his arms like an eagle, causing her to retreat.
“I’m not shouting. I’m just speaking the truth. You can’t silence me and prevent me from speaking
the truth. You want to punish my son because you believe his father did something?” I shouted
back, noticing whispers among the crowd about my
actions.
“She’s too bold. Why has she returned to the roguemunity, acting like our Luna queen when
she’s not?” the old man interjected.
I could see hatred on everyone’s faces, which was deeply unsettling.
“Because she can. She may not be a Luna queen for the rogues, but she’s still my mate. How dare
you-how dare any of you -drag my stepson into this mess?” Sam’s voice boomed, his body tensing,
hinting at what he might do if they didn’t relent.
“She’s somehow responsible. If she hadn’t left you and returned to that evil man, he would never
have thought he could do whatever he wants without any consequence. Think about Polline. She
was a good citizen who did so much for ourmunity. Almost all of us stayed in her apartments,
which she rented out cheaply for those in need of shelter after her cruel alpha king expelled them
from his pack,” thedy began to cry, and I recognized her face.
She was the one who had lost her child in that fight Samuel and Hunter had. I couldn’t really meet
her eyes. Losing a child is not something I wish upon anyone. It was horrifying and saddening.
Sadly, I couldn’t do much for her or the other mothers. But I could seek justice for them. However,
punishing Hunter without any proof was not an answer and who would even punish him without any
proof?
“But Polline was scared of you guys, I murmured, feeling remorseful for arguing with her. However,
the others irked me. They acted as if they had every right to punish me and hurt my son.
“Huh? Well, we weren’t the ones who ended up burning her alive, were we?” the otherdy retorted,
and I hissed at her.
She was so full of negativity. Even the way she talked and scanned me from head to toe was
unsettling.
She was also the one holding an arrow, its tip dipped in a bottle of liquid. I began to wonder what it
was coated with. raised my eyes, our gazes met, and I could tell she noticed my concern about the
weapon in her hands.
“Reyna came here to talk about the crimes and injustices. She’s courageous enough to defy her
alpha king’s wishes just to bring justice for us,” Sam continued to defend me, but at this point, it felt
like they weren’t even willing to understand. The were too busy gossiping in hushed tones and
pointing at me as if they were plotting something.
“I think I should just go home for now,” I whispered to Sam, who turned to me and nodded.
“I’ll drop you at the border myself, just to be on the safe side, Sam suggested, and despite the
arguments we had and how angry 1 was at him, I realized it would be the right thing to do.
“Now go back home. I’m your rogue king, and I promise you that justice will be served,” Samuel
addressed them, but they looked unhappy.
The fact that they refused to realize they might be part of the problem was shocking to me.
Back when I didn’t marry Sam, they were the ones who started baiting on me and even attempted
to kill me. Now they were acting as if all the battles and issues were because of me and Hunter.
“Let’s go inside and wait for them to leave, and then we can leave? Sam whispered to me, and I
nodded. As soon as we

turned around, I felt something strike me in the back.
The pain was odd. It was like my entire skin began to stretch, and it took me a moment before I
gasped and turned around
The woman with the arrow was not holding anything but that bottle anymore.
“What the heck!” Sam yelled as he saw the arrow in my back. My chest itched from the sudden
introduction of something into my body. Goosebumps appeared all over my skin. I felt weak in my
knees, so Sam quickly held me, making sure he didn’te in contact with the arrow and pushed it
further inside me by ident.
“Seize her!” Sam yelled at the rogues, and they began to apprehend the woman. However, she
didn’t even seem to struggle to free herself. She had a grin on her lips as she continued to look me
in the eye.
Sam quickly carried me inside and ced me on the couch, gently assisting me to ensure we didn’t
move the arrow around.
“What did she inject it with?” I groaned in pain, feeling my head getting dizzy
“I’ll need to pull the arrow out for it, he said. “Do you think you can hear the pain?” he asked, and 1
nodded aggressively. I wanted it out because the pain was increasing now,
“Just get it out of me, I muttered, feeling a weird sensation about that arrow. She didn’t aim for my
heart or anything. once the arrow is out of my body, with the help of Nera, Ell transition and heal.
But I’m sure that arrow was drenched in something, and that something might affect my body’s
functioning. I was already experiencing a dry mouth, and my body was going numb.
Let’s get you in the tub and then take this arrow out. Make sure you’re sitting in cold water to case
up the pain of your wolf,” Sam suggested, quickly carrying me to the guest room’s restroom.
The minute he sat me on the bed, he looked around and then sighed.
“I’ll need some medications just in case your wolf is in too much pain to transition and heal you,” he
addressed, then ran towards the living room again to grab his phone.
I was losing my senses and bing anxious about the liquid,
What could it possibly be?
“Nera! Do you think you can transition after the arrow is pulled out?” I hoped to get a response from
her, but she remained
silent.
It was now bing concerning. I don’t think she was purposely avoiding me because we ended
the night on good terms,
Was the liquid making her silent?
My body shuddered in fright at the idea. I tried to move around to get into the bathroom and sit in
the tub full of cold water when I heard Sam call for me.
“Reyna!”
“What?” I groaned in frustration, taking steady steps to reach the door and watch him on the phone.
I wanted to get the arrow out before I passed out because I felt like that was going to happen soon.
He rolled his eyes at me for getting out of bed and walking around as if I didn’t have an arrow
sticking in my back.
“Get in the shower, I’ll be there in a minute,” he yelled, still on the phone. I didn’t care how many
medications he was getting for me; I just wanted this arrow out of my body. As long as it stayed
there, I would get more anxious at the thought of that liquid being injected into me, as if it wasn’t
already. I took steady steps towards the bathroom and looked around. It was spacious, with a big
tub in the corner.
