Chapter 124

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 ablaze at this point.. “Hunter! What happened?” my mom came from behind and placed 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 blame 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 glance 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 rogue community. 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 blame her for returning to someone she was planning to marry in the first place. 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 accused of killing Polline, and my timing of being there at her place 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.

shook my head to dismiss his ideas. I didn’t want to tell him anything unless Reyna comes 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 explained 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 blame 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 and comforting hug. “Why don’t we go freshen up and then have breakfast? Maybe by then, Reyna will call again?” Mom suggested to Turner, 1/2 13:28 Thu, May Chapter 124 who steadily removed her hand and shook his head. 63% “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 Turner laughed 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 place, 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. 2/2
