Alpha Hunter

Chapter 18

Reyna Cruz:

“What?” Polline was shocked when I told her what Turner’s teacher had said to me.

“They said Turner was making up excuses all morning. There was no bullying or anything. That’s why I tried to bully’s name, but Turner keeps saying he can’t remember,” I rolled my eyes as I cleaned the dishes and sat down at the counter with Pollinc.

I put Turner to bed, but after the stunt he pulled today, I just couldn’t figure out his behavior.

“That’s so unlike him,” Polline defended him, and I agreed.

“Did Hunter recognize him?” she asked, taking a sip from her glass of alcohol.

“No! I shouldn’t have worried about that in particular. He’s so deeply in love with Tara that he doesn’t remember anything. Obviously, he didn’t recognize him,” I didn’t know if I felt sad or happy about it.

“Then there’s no need to worry about anything. So what if he saw your kid? At least now he’ll know you didn’t wait around for him. If he could move on, so could you,” Polline let out a sigh of relief, but I wasn’t satisfied yet.

“He did threaten to find out who Turner’s father is,” I took a big sip of the alcohol and, when I put the glass down, I saw Polline staring at me with wide eyes.

“And you’re so calm?” she questioned, looking even more frightened than I was.

“Yeah, because his target is some rogue. He’s not even considering the chance that he could be the father. So I’ll let him wander around in search of a rogue father who doesn’t exist,” I shrugged. There’s no way he could find out because he won’t macet my son ever again.

“Anyway, I’m going to bed now. I have to check on the building’s tenants tomorrow,” Polline finished her drink and stood up to leave. As she was about to go, I cleared my throat to get her attention.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take Turner with me,” she said, anticipating my concern. But that wasn’t the problem. Now that she mentioned the building where I stayed when I gave birth, I started to remember something.

“The tenants would remember me, I said, concern in thy voice. “They might ask you about Turner and remember exactly when I gave birth.” I shook my head at the thought of taking Turner back there. I had no plans to introduce him to those people who could potentially reveal my secret.

“But we can’t leave him on his own, Polline complained. Tomorrow was Saturday, his day off, but I had to work in the office.

“I know,” I rubbed my temples.

“Oh, goodness!” I sighed as another memory rushed into my head.

“What now?” Polline could tell I was worried just by looking at my face.

“Hunter threatened to find out about the baby’s father. He could trace my steps to the building…” I slapped my forehead and almost let out a whimper of pain

“Why is he so determined to find the father of the child when he doesn’t even suspect Turner to be his own child?” She was absolutely right to question that. But it was Hunter we were talking about. He just wanted to see me in pain.

“So that he can rub it in my face that I moved on from him. He’ll make sure to use that man to cause me pain and make me regret, I rolled my eyes and set the glass down.

“Seems to me like the alpha king is very bored with his mate and his life,” Polline’s comment raised my eyebrow.

“I thought about it too, but then I saw them leaving the office all fine, and I realized how understanding they are in their relationship. They can have an argument and then work things out in minutes,” I sighed because I really wanted her to reveal her true self to him.

‘Or maybe they’re used to acting differently in public. Think about it like this. All these years, they’ve put on this act of affection so much that they’ve mastered it,” she continued, as she didn’t believe they could be in love.

“I don’t know. He seems pretty in love with her now,” I retorted.

“Reyna, if a man is that happy with his mate, he wouldn’t even care or waste his time on his ex– mate. He wouldn’t care about what she’s doing or who she’s having a baby with,” her words struck me. She watched my face with a broken smile. I’m sure she thought I might find some comfort in thinking he regretted leaving me. But I was more concerned about his intentions. regarding finding out who the father of my child is now. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Anyway, go to sleep. Don’t think too much. Good night, she walked back, planted a kiss on my head, and then left for her

Toom.

I stayed up for a few more minutes, drinking alone. But when it started to rain, I decided to stand on the balcony and get wet in the rain. I hadn’t done that in so long. I used to love showering in the

rain. Hunter used to watch me play and then take care of me so I wouldn’t catch a cold.

The child in me had died when I endured the toughest time of my life after being kicked out of the pack.

As I stood on the balcony, gazing at the view, I began to feel like I was being watched. My eyes turned to the road below, and my gut feeling proved right. There was someone standing on the road, their head lifted, and their eyes fixed right on me.

I quickly adjusted the coat I had wrapped around myself for warmth and squinted to identify the person. It didn’t take long for me to recognize the familiar sensation.

That’s our second chance mate right there, Nera gasped in shock. I never imagined I would see him again, and I couldn’t fathom how he had appeared right in front of my house.

I didn’t know if I should be flattered or creeped out.

He stood in the rain, shirtless with blue jeans, just staring a impeccable.

I looked around him and noticed the road was empty

“What should I do now?” I asked Nera with a sense of worry.

1. me. His shoulders were straight, and his posture was

‘I guess we have to talk to him. If he has decided to come this far looking for us, we also need to finally have a word with him like an adult,‘ she suggested, given the circumstances. If he approached Polline or Turner, my secret would be revealed. I wasn’t ready to share anything about the second chance mate just yet. Especially to Polline, whom I told that I didn’t desire to meet my second chance mate ever again.

‘Fine, I grunted, taking a deep breath, and slowly making my way to the exit. Once I got out of the house, I opened the umbrella and shook my head in disbelief at the man. Why was he standing in the rain like that? What did he expect to

achieve?

With each step I took in his direction, I noticed his muscles relaxing. My heart pounded hard in my chest at his calm demeanor. Not to mention, he was just as attractive and sexy as I remembered.

As soon as I stood in front of him, he grunted, “Mate!”
