Alpha Hunter

Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Reyna Cruz: After everything went down in the mansion and I went to my old house, I ended up in an argument with Nera. When Sam drove me back to his mansion, I dozed off. I only woke up when I found him trying to carry me inside. “It’s alright, I can walk on my own,” I quickly excused myself to get away from him and stepped out of the car. I don’t know why, but I didn’t feel like being intimate with him. I wondered why that was. Even when I had met him the other day, I didn’t feel like being close to him. Part of me ached for him, and that was because of the mate bond we shared. But the other part hesitated. Even the thought of being touched by him wrapped me up in a blanket of guilt. And I was very well aware that I didn’t owe Hunter any loyalty because this marriage wasn’t something I chose for myself. But still, the feeling of guilt surprised and confused me. I walked ahead of him, and soon we were in his big castle. I didn’t plan to step into any room. His living room had a huge couch, and it was enough for me to be comfortable there. As soon as I sat on the couch, he quickly wrapped a blanket around me and started a fire in the fireplace. “I understand you’re worried and stressed out, but why punish your own body?” Sam continued to lecture me for not wearing any warm clothes and staying at my old house, which didn’t even have a working door anymore. “I want to see that footage,” I said, rubbing my face in my hands, I was so exhausted and losing my mind. I wanted to just lie down and sleep, but I couldn’t until I am fully convinced that I was accusing Hunter rightfully. Now that I was away from. him. I couldn’t help but remember his face and feel bad. He looked so hurt when I constantly talked about him being behind Polline’s death. “Do you need something to drink? Your body is shivering, Reyna he sighed, taking a seat in front of me, making sure he didn’t sit on the same couch as me because he might have seen How cautious I was of our spots. “No, I want to see that footage, I insisted, feeling like a broken record. “Reyna! Please calm down. You have a fever, the minute he touched my forehead, he exclaimed

and shook his head. This time, he used an even authoritative voice. “I will get you some medicine and something to drink with it, and then you can watch the footage and ask me whatever you have in mind,” he sternly responded to my requests and got up to leave. I sighed and rubbed my face in my hands. I wanted the sleep to go away, but because I had suddenly gotten a fever, I was really down. ‘You did what you wanted to do and came here, Nera voiced, sounding upset with me. ‘Nera! Maybe you need to remember that he is our mate too. We were getting married to him when Hunter snatched us from him. Although I know you have feelings for Hunter, but that doesn’t mean Samuel’s topic is over. We are still mates with him, funny how she was now waking up to argue with me. And you have no feelings for Hunter?’ she asked. ‘I will just say this once: the reason you are so reluctant to believe Hunter is because you feel like you will be judged if you accepted him after he snatched you from your second chance mate. You want to look good and convince yourself that you are not submitting to him and that you are doing justice by Sam by meeting him and all, I didn’t even understand what she was talking about, I was extremely sick and feverish. I just want to know the truth. Are you scared we might see something in the footage that would break your little dreams?” 1 scoffed at her, shaking my head but straightening my back when I watched Sam come back with a milkshake and some medicine in his hand. “Here! Drink some of this first and then take the medicine,” he advised, giving me the glass and making me drink from it. He was so forceful about it because my condition was really bad. 1/3 1327 Thu, May 10 G Chapter 18 Once I took the medicine anul was done with the milk shake, I sat straight when he started plugging in the USB into the TV. and My heart was pounding so hand in my chest as I watched the foo age from the CCTV in the apartments where Polline used to live and own. It reminded me of the day when I had best arrived

at the building I was so lonely and broken Polline came into my life and took good i I had my eyes fixated on the screen when Hunter appeared in the footage My heart flipped inside my chest. I avoided Sam, who had turned to look at my face for a traction I was holding my own hand and just staring It was right in that moment post when Hunter was on the screen that 1ned my eyes a lule to k at Nam, who was now facing away from me, watching the TV It was like so that split moment that I felt like I was deeply in love with Hunter. That I never stopped loving him. To think I was achuting to loving hun in my head while watching something that was going to prove that he was behind all the nasty dona believe he had done it. I instantly spoke up to Nera, probably even shocking her The footage is still not over, she argued. Tdon’t know Nets, but I don’t feel like I should be doubting him My heart says he would never do anything like that, I soned making her gasp at my words Reyna’ Are you sure? You are sounding-wait! What are you trying to say she questioned Nera! I still love Hunter. I yelled in my head and closed my eyes in real time i “What happened Sam jolted me into waking my eyes and taking a deep breath. “It you can’t watch it right now, you can rest,” he insisted, but I shook my head to dismiss the idea. Now I wanted to finish this video more than ever because I didn’t believe Hunter could do anything like that. I am watching.” I replied, slowly taking off my blanket to sit straight. I watched Hunter reach for the backside of the apartment, which was out of view, and then come back out again. This is where the poet was. Soon Hunter started walking away in haste, and after that, the sparking could be seen in the backside, and then the apartment caught fire. “The officers think he did something to the power. One guy, that one–” Sam pointed at the guy rushing out from the barkode and pointing in the direction of where Hunter had lett “That guy

claimed to have seen him too, he continued, making me sit silently and stare at the video The fire was so quick that they couldn’t stop it, and it had engulfed the room so quickly I guess Polline was sleeping. Sam continued Reyna! Are you okay? Once I hadn’t moved a muscle, he began to call for me. “I don’t know.” I sighed and buried my face in my hands. My heal was hurting like hell “It’s okay You should rest for now, Sam turned off the TV. He didn’t ask me what I was thinking in the moment, and I appreciated it “Do you think it is mappropriate for me to stay over here for the night The moment I asked him that question, I watched ham frown and narrow his eyes at my face c “Huh? You think you shouldn’t be here?” he asked in a soft voice, but also hiding the fact that he was upset at my choice of words “It’s just that when I was leaving my mansion. Turner was crying I quickly adjusted my words because it was true that we || Thu, May 16 G Chapter 118 were still mates. I couldn’t act like a selfish person and tell him that I have moved on when I gave him so much hoger about marriage and then just left him. “Why?” Sam questioned. “I had an argument with Hunter. I wanted to take Turner with ro, but he insisted to stay.” I numbleil, feeling bad for acting like a stubborn person back there. “It’s not your fault. And I am sure Turner would understand why you had to get away from Hunter’s mansion, the way he said that made me recall my words, I accidentally called Hunter mansion my mansion in front of him. “I am just concerned if he had calmed down and is now resting sigheil, slowly sliding away when Sam sat on the couch with me.

“Reyna! He will be line. His grandmother is there, his father is there with him. You need to stop letting Hunter use Turner to control you,” Sam continued and even placed his hand on my back to pat it. I had a feeling that it I shrugged his hand off now, he would get very upset. I was shocked myself how quickly I was back to thinking about Hunter. Was trily a bad person for this? I mean, I maybe was a horrible and mean person. “I think I will just rest now, I was done talking My eyelids were so heavy that I couldn’t stay awake for another minute. “Do you want to go into the guest room?” He offered, but I shook my head and almost pushed him off the couch to lie down and cover myself entirely in the blanket. I fell asleep soon after like I was awake for years. 3/3
