    Chapter 124


    Hunter:


    I couldn’t even pry the phone away from my ears after I heard Rayna and Samuel together. My


    entire world had been set aze at this point..


    “Hunter! What happened?” my mom came from behind and ced her hand on my shoulder,


    causing me to jolt awake and turn around to look at her. Standing beside her was my son, who had


    no clue what was going on. I couldn’t bring myself to tell him that his mother had abandoned us to


    be with Samuel Bin who could me her? I wouldn’t.


    I was hurt, but it wasn’t wrong that she had been clear about her reluctance to marry me. I snatched


    her away, thinking I could keep her. The moment she got a chance, she returned to the man she


    loved.


    Umum-she is safe,” I stuttered, stealing a nce from Turner.


    “Did you speak to her?” Turner stepped forward, gently holding my hand to get my attention.


    “Yeah! She’s fine. She is with friends in a roguemunity. I lied, just to preserve her image in the


    eyes of her son. I’m sure my son is very intelligent and wouldn’t call her names or me her for


    returning to someone she was nning to marry in the first ce. But what would hurt him the most


    is the fact that she left him crying at home and didn’t even check back on him.


    As 1 pondered to myself, I shook my head in disbelief. There’s no way Reyna would do that. Or


    perhaps she had been pushed so far this time that she just acted out of character. Who wouldn’t?


    I’ve been used of killing Polline, and my timing of being there at her ce didn’t make things


    look good for me either.


    “Hunter” Mother held my hand and shook it to get my attention


    “But didnt you say mommy was at her home?” My son was not an idiot. He was attentive and knew


    how to raise good questions.


    “A friend visited her and took her home because she wasn’t safe living by herself in the rogue


    community anymore,” I lied, gulping in guilt.


    “Mommy didn’t have any friends there, unless it’s-Uncle Samuel Turner was quick to catch on. But IN?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    shook my head to dismiss his ideas. I didn’t want to tell him anything unless Reynaes back and


    decides to tell him about Samuel herself.


    “Before you were born, she made some friends in the apartments that Polline owned. She is resting


    there for now, and because she lost her cellphone, she couldn’t contact us sooner. I quickly


    exined to help my son ease up. But with every excuse, my son grew impatient and anxious.


    Then how did you talk to her now? Turner questioned, pointing at my phone in my hand.


    “This was her friend’s number. She called me to let me know Reyna is fine,” I gulped while lying.


    Then call that number back. I want to speak to mommy and apologize to her, Turner insisted,


    making me anxiously stare at my phone’s screen and then at my son. I couldn’t even me him for


    being so impatient. She had been gone for a whole night and the entire morning. He was her son


    who had never lost contact with her. He was obviously worried.


    “Actually, it was Reyna. She doesn’t want any rogue to find out that she has been in contact with


    any of the pack members. You know the sination between pack members and rogues is getting out


    of hand. She doesn’t want to feel unsafe just because of that,” I don’t know how much I managed to


    convince my son, but I could tell he was still hurt. He lowered his head and sighed. My mom quickly


    wrapped her arm around his tiny body and pulled him in for a warm andforting hug.


    “Why don’t we go freshen up and then have breakfast? Maybe by then, Reyna will call again?” Mom


    suggested to Turner,

    “I don’t think I can cat anything until I speak to mommy,” he uttered. I quickly got on my knees to be


    on his level and held his hands.


    “Mommy will be very upset when she finds out that you didn’t eat anything when she was gone. Do


    you want her to get upset with you?” It wasn’t easy to hide the truth from him. I just don’t know why


    Reyna didn’t call back to speak to Turner. It was so unlike her. Even when she used to be angry, her


    son would be the first thing on her mind. So what happened today?


    “It doesn’t matter. Mommy is already upset with me. Look, she called and didn’t even ask daddy to


    give me the phone,” he was a sharp child. Very attentive. So it was a little difficult to fool him just for


    the sake of his own peace of mind.


    “She did. Did I not tell you?” I frowned, watching him raise his head and look at me with a weak


    smile.


    “She did. She told me to connect with you because she was missing you, but then her friend arrived


    so she quickly cut the call. I’m sure she will call again when she gets a chance.” I said, noticing my


    son’s mood changing. He finally looked at peace.


    “Grandma, did you hear what daddy said! Mommy is missing me,” Turner jumped up and down in


    relief, filling my heart with guilt.


    “I heard it. And now you are going to hear me, we are freshening up and then having breakfast


    together, okay?” Mom adopted a stern look on her face, and Turnerughed with her.


    “Okay! You prepare the breakfast, I will be down in a few minutes Turner smiled, running upstairs


    now that he was no longer under stress.


    As he walked away and disappeared out of our sights, my mother turned to face me.


    “You lied, she was with Samuel, wasn’t she?” Mom knew the truth. And it isn’t like she is a child who


    I could lie to.


    “I think I shouldn’t have forced her into marrying me, I felt the guilt right in my heart. None of this


    would have happened if I hadn’t done that.


    “I think you stopped thinking with your brain and started focusing on your emotions,” Mom added,


    and I sighed.


    “Maybe I would have died after she had married Samuel, but it would have been a much better


    option than living with the knowledge that she is someone else’s marked mate now.” As soon as I


    said that, my mother held my hand and shook her head.


    “No! I don’t believe in any of this. She might be in Samuel’s ce, but I don’t think she will ever go


    back to him. Hunter! I have seen love in her eyes for you, there is no way-just no way, my mother’s


    confidence in Reyna’s love for me puzzled me. But it also gave me a subtle hope. Up until now, I


    thought I was the only one who had a feeling that she might have some feelings for me, but my


    mother seemed to be confirming it now.
