Chapter 102

Reyna Cruz:

"Answer me," I almost raised my voice at him.

"I don't know what you're talking about," he shook his head as if he hadn't a clue, though deep down, he knew precisely what he had done.

"Jeffery! I know you're lying, and I don't know why, but I'm telling you right now that I will find out," anger consumed me as I found myself confronting him.

Even he seemed taken aback, but then he took a deep breath to quell the rising tension.

I told you. I did my job. I don't know why you're accusing me of lying. I informed Hunter about everything I found in the data, the Jeffery who had always been polite or smiling now stood before me, blatantly lying. I couldn't fathom this was the same guy, and I bet he noticed my disbelief. There were times when I thought he could be a good friend but not anymore.

He must have known, as the owner of that cellphone. I knew what to expect from the data.

"Reyna! I'nnot lying to you. I have no reason to lie to you," he repeated himself, this time with more emotion, "I received the data as it was. Now I don't know if anyone before me tampered with it."

As he finished. I sighed and looked away. Now, he had made another point that could be true, but was he truly the first one to access the data? Or had someone managed to breach the center before him? "Is there anything you want me to do? I can help you. Tell me what's going on, and I'll be loyal to you just like I am to the alpha king." he uttered, his gaze fixed on my face as I absentmindedly greeted the guests with smiles.

"Nothing's going on. I just found out that you knew who I was and that you were the one who had collected the data. So, I came here to ask you, that's all, for some reason, even though he might have been telling the truth, I just didn't feel like he

was.

He wasn't being entirely truthful with me.

After excusing him, dinner was served. It was a pleasant meal, to be honest, as nobody questioned me or my son. Once the guests had departed, Mrs. Sparrow and I remained, while Turner had scampered upstairs to change.

"You were amazing tonight." I was surprised that Mrs. Sparrow was complimenting me. That had not happened in the past. She used to always find a reason to be mad at me or call me out for the littlest things, "I would have been stressed out if it wasn't for you taking care of the council," I replied.

-1 saw your parents, they told me what happened with them," she continued to talk about the night in a much calmer tone.

"Yeah. I feel bad for them but it also gives me relief that I can now forgive them. But I will need to speak to Hunter about letting them back in, I sighed as I recalled how they had to spend all their earnings and even move out thinking they were going to find their daughter but got scammed.

"I don't think you need Hunter's permission for it. You are a luna queen and you have so much power as him. It is time that you take control and run the pack alongside him," her statement really shocked me. "You want me to run this pack with Hunter?" I raised my brow, playing with my necklace and watching her smile.

"Yes!" she laughed at my reaction and then nodded her head. We were walking back from the front door to the stairway.

"Alright, I will do that. Thank you, goodnight, 1 bid Mrs. Sparrow farewell, heading to check on Hunter before going to see Turner. As I made my way to the backside of the mansion, I found Hunter asleep in his bed. He had eaten the food I

I was still slightly perplexed as to why he was unable to heal. He was an alpha king and should have been able to heal at least somewhat, if not entirely. Perhaps the wolfbane and silver were indeed present in large quantities in his body.

And then, I was reminded of Samuel.

'Do you think Hunter lied to us about Sam healing on his own?' Nera asked.

"If he didn't lie, then it means Sam is lying,' I uttered, pained at the thought of Sam resorting to lies.

Do you want to go check on him? He said he would not take care of himself if we didn't go, Nera was kind of stuck in between, as for her, the mate bond was a great pull. She could feel the pain with too much intensity.

"I don't know. It seems like such a huge betrayal, I paused when I remembered that I don't owe Hunter any loyalty.

"But you know he will be hurt, she reminded me just so that I am aware of what might happen.

"You know, I will go see Sam after I tell Hunter I am going. I will hot go behind his back," I nodded to myself, but since he was sleeping at the moment, I didn't feel like waking him up.

So I walked to the main mansion and dialed Sam's number, hoping he would pick up this time, and he finally did.

"Calling me to make up excuses?" his voice had lost the enthusiasm and cockiness it once used to have. The day of my wedding had changed so many lives.

"Sam! Please take care of yourself tonight. I will come see you early in the morning," I said, and right off the bat, I knew he would object.

I mean now, you need to come see me now," he insisted in a stern tone.

"Sam! The reason I married Hunter was that I don't want to leave my son all alone with Tara. If I leave now, Tara is the only one awake, and she will definitely corne haunting my son, I hissed because I could rely on Mrs. Sparrow to take care of Turner during the day or even bring him along, but it was too late for my son to be traveling within the rogue community.

"Fine. But then I want to see you in the morning," he finally agreed, and as I breathed a sigh of relief, I heard some noises coming from upstairs.

"What the heck is that, I murmured under my breath.

"What happened?" Sam asked, but my attention had been shifted entirely to upstairs now. I started taking big steps because I recognized the voice. It was Turner yelling and crying at the top of his lungs. Turner? Is he okay?" Sam sounded worried too. It was the way my son was crying that I couldn't not worry.

I had not heard him cry like that unless it was super serious.

"I will call you later," I hung up on Sam because I wanted my full attention to be on my son

I reached my son's room, and right in the doorway, I saw Tara standing with her arms folded over her chest.

"Get out." Turner yelled, and she scoffed at him.

"That's why your daddy left. I'm telling you, your daddy is gone, and next, your mother will leave you," I couldn't believe she was traumatizing my son like that with her nonsense. I instantly pushed her and came between her and my son.

"What the heck do you think you're doing?" I screamed in her face, and she dramatically closed one eye.

"Easy! I was just trying to teach this brat some manners, she had the nerve to shrug and utter without showing any shame.

"You will learn manners the right way when I track you" I muttered and pushed her out of the room. She almost tripped but then balanced her body and squared up
