Alpha Hunter

Chapter 57

Chapter 57 Reyna Cruz: I woke up to some upsetting news. As expected, Hunter wasn’t giving up. He had decided to take Turner away from me, and he showed up knocking on my door bright and early. I couldn’t believe the day I had been dreading had finally arrived. I had left the pack out of fear that he might snatch my son, and now it was unfolding right before my eyes. At that moment, I felt lost, unsure of what to do, as it seemed like Hunter had left me with no chance to escape this predicament. “It’s 8 am; I hope you’re aware that kids don’t wake up so carly unless it’s for school,” I mumbled, watching him settle down on the couch, spreading his arms with a cheeky grin. He acted as if he’d won some grand prize by irritating me. “It’s okay, I can wait for him to wake up,” he said with a smile, while I rolled my eyes in response. “You seem very angry with me. What happened? Did I ruin your date with your second chance mate by bringing up important matters yesterday?” he inquired in a calm tone. What was he trying to achieve? If this was his way of getting back at me, he had taken it too far this time. “My son will never be happy around Tara,” I reminded him, to which he shrugged. “Then come stay in the guestroom and leave when he is set to stay here with you. Which is on my 3 days a week,” he pouted after reiterating the rules. That’s absurd. I’ll speak to the council myself. They cannot takeaway my kid from me and hand him over to someone who wasn’t even there all these years, I declared, stomping my foot. But before I could turn around to retrieve my phone from upstairs, his scoff brought me to a halt. “Yeah, go ahead and see what they do.” I turned to face him, a glimpse of his intentions reflected in my eyes. “They were already suggesting I take full custody since you’ve broken several rules. I chose not to do that, he rolled up the sleeve of his black shirt and leaned over me from the couch. “So listen up, don’t mess with me. I won’t always be nice enough to let you keep him. If my patience wears thin, I might demand full custody.”

The threat in his voice made me take a step back. Clearly, he wasn’t playing around. “And it’s not like I wasn’t involved in his life because I didn’t want to. A certain someone hid him from me and robbed me his childhood,” he added, his gaze turning deadly with each word. After adjusting his shirt, he returned to his seat. Feeling overwhelmed, I hurried upstairs to find solace and take in some fresh air on the terrace. Polline, who witnessed the entire exchange, followed me and rubbed my back. “I dread thinking about Turner living there for four days,” I confessed, holding her hand, shaken by the thought of being alone without my son. “I don’t even know how to comfort you because it’s really disturbing that he came after years to take him away from you,” she empathized, agreeing that Hunter’s actions were excessively cruel. Η “Now try to calm yourself for Turner. He is very excited to go live with his dad. If he sees you so upset, he will want to stay back,” Polline sighed, acknowledging the inevitable. “Wouldn’t that be great?” I sniffled, wiping away my tears, secretly hoping she would grant me permission. of “No! You must not do that. If Hunter gets angry and decides to take full custody, you know how that will play out,” she swiftly dismissed the idea, and I was relieved she did. I wouldn’t want to tick Hunter off either. “Now come on, let’s go pack up Turner’s belongings,” she gently patted my back. But before I could step into Turner’s room, 1 heard another familiar voice from downstairs. “Has Samuel dropped by?” I asked Polline, who frowned and shrugged. 1/2 ||| Chapter 57 “Hunter must have answered the door,” she scoffed at Hunter for roaming around as if this house belonged to him. He argued that he was just checking things out to ensure I was providing his son with a better life.

“Why are you here?” I heard Hunter inquire of Samuel. Do you really need an answer? Samuel’s voice was filled with indifference, possibly because he was annoyed about Hunter’s demands from me. I had shared how Hunter wanted to take my son away last night and was now here to carry out his plan. “I’m not going to ask why you’re here,’ Samuel scoffed. “I find it disgraceful that you’re trying to hurt Reyna by taking away her child.” After his comment, there was a moment of silence before Hunter scoffed even louder than Samuel. “And you think that’s the only reason I want my son’s time? Well, I can’t blame you. You’ve never been a father, so you wouldn’t understand the longing to be around your son. But I won’t argue with you because your opinion doesn’t matter to me,” Hunter, though offended by Samuel’s statement, tried to maintain his composure. After all, he knew he would leave with my son, leaving me alone. Samuel didn’t engage in further argument and hurried upstairs to join me and Polline. “He’ll be fine. I’m sure Hunter has learned from his past mistakes and won’t let Tara do anything foolish, he reassured me, wrapping me in his arms. I started. crying the moment I was in his embrace. “It’s just annoying. I sobbed. When we broke the hug. I noticed Hunter watching us with intense eyes, filled with a mix of emotions. We walked away to Turner’s room, ensuring we couldn’t be seen by Hunter, so we could discuss this situation in private. “Can’t we do something about this situation? Why is the council entirely on his side?” I asked Samuel, who was lost in thought. “It’s because of the accusations made against you previously. I called the council, and they told me the same thing. If you protest, Hunter might demand full custody, and then everyone, including all the alphas under his ruling along with the council, will ensure their alpha king gets what he wants, Samuel explained in simple terms what we were up against. Hunter was poised to use his power to the fullest, and that terrified me. seemed like he was still convinced I was this evil person who had hurt him by betraying him. “Now what? I can’t leave Turner with Tara. That whole situation gives me the creeps, I admitted, fearful of Tara’s toxic influence on my child. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Hmm! What if he doesn’t go there all by himself? What if someone accompanies him?” Samuel suggested, and my body tensed as I anxiously looked away. I didn’t understand why he would propose that I go stay with Hunter, but it made me uncomfortable. “Polline, pack your bags,” he added, and I felt foolish for assuming he meant I would go. I felt awkward because when I looked at Polline, I could tell she understood that I had misunderstood. “What if Hunter tells me that I cannot go?” Polline asked. “That’s why we’re not going to tell him that you are going with him,” Samuel had a clever smile on his lips when he added, “Turner would.” 2/2 曲
