Chapter 33

Reyna Cruz

Samuel hurriedly took me to the hospital where Turner had been admitted. I was under so much stress that my senses were slipping away, and I kept stumbling-

'No! This can't be happening. Turner is just an innocent child who wanted to meet his father. How can a moon Goddess let someone do that to our little kid?" Nera whimpered in a hushed tone, barely audible. I too, seemed to have lost my senses. It felt like the entire universe had turned against me.

I appreciated Samuel for staying calm and supporting me throughout this challenging time. Little did I know that the real

test was yet to come.

After overhearing the guard inform Samuel that Turner was found injured in a dumpster, I couldn't make sense of anything. Nothing added up. How on earth did he end up in a trash bin?

"Your highness," the doctor bowed to Samuel as he approached, tightly holding my hand.

"Turner! Where's the kid?" Samuel inquired, addressing the doctor named Ram, a man with expressive brown eyes and black

hair.

The guards were already questioning the doctor about Turner. Quick to add, I tapped my chest. "My son!"

"He has lost a lot of blood, Ram shared, wearing a sad expression that raised my concerns.

"We need blood as soon as possible," he added, nodding at Samuel.

"Arrange it by any means," Samuel instructed the doctor, ensuring no delays.

"We've conducted some tests, and I'll return with the reports," the doctor explained as he walked away to initiate the process. Desperate for answers, I turned to the guard, who, this time, was more at ease as Samuel gave him a nod to answer me.

"Tell me what happened to my son? Why was he in the dumpster? Just saying it out loud irked me.

"Go ahead, tell her whatever she wants to know," Samuel instructed the guard.

"We saw the surveillance footage. While crossing the road, a truck hit him. The driver got out and then dragged his body to a trash bin," the guard explained, revealing the cruel act that left my son to die in the trash.

"But there's more," the guard interjected before any of us could react to such hostility. "The trucks seemed to be parked near the road, as if waiting for someone to appear. The moment Turner'came into view, the driver started the engine and deliberately hit him. It didn't seem like an accident. My heart sank at the thought of someone wanting my child dead.

"Why would he do that? My son-hasn't harmed anyone," I stuttered, struggling to make sense of it all. I don't have any personal enmity with anyone either, so who could have done this?

"Find me the driver. We'll get answers out of him," Samuel ordered, reverting to his determined king mode, directing his men to locate the culprit.

"We tried to gather as many clues from the footage as possible. Right now, we can only look for the vehicle, as the driver was completely covered in black, short, with a ski mask on his face," the guard explained, leaving me wondering who this assailant could be.

"But why would he attack my son? What has my son ever done to anyone?" I asked the guards, even though I knew they couldn't provide answers.

"It's okay. We won't rest until we find him, right?" Samuel reassured me with a softer tone, then glanced at his guard's, urging then to begin the mission.

"I will personally deal with that person," I whispered to Samuel as he helped me sit down. They didn't even let me catch a glimpse of my son. Just a few hours ago, I was tucking him into bed, hoping to see him happy when I returned from work....

"Reyna!" Thankfully, Polline had already made it to the hospital. I knew if anyone could provide comfort, it had to be her. The others had failed me.

"Not everyone is as heartless as Hunter, Nera spoke up after silently mourning our son for hours. I knew she was devastated, so I didn't press her to communicate with me at that time.

"Samuel has proven to be the biggest help today, I agreed, gazing at him. He greeted Polline and began explaining the situation to her while I conversed with my wolf.

"He has been there for us, Nera acknowledged.

My conversation was interrupted when Polline turned to face me with teary eyes. She knew what I must be feeling. As soon as we hugged, we started wailing for minutes without saying another word. Turner is my life; I cannot imagine living without seeing the smile on his face every day. Whoever did this should be punished.

We only broke the hug when Hunter arrived with his warriors. Hearing his voice as he talked to Samuel sent chills down my spine. I wanted to kick him out, yell at him, and slap him, but my son was here. I didn't want to create chaos for now.

"I heard what happened," Hunter presented himself before me. I bet he could tell from the redness in my eyes that I wasn't very fond of speaking to him.

"We will do our best to find that asshole who hurt a child and then- he paused, making it seem like it was a difficult thing for him to talk about, as if he cared. "Oh, quit it," I hissed, drawing everyone's attention to us. Remember when I said I didn't want to start any argument here? 1 failed.

I wouldn't let him make himself look like a hero after he became the reason my son is in this state today.

"Get out of here before I tell everyone why my son left that building in the first place. I muttered under my breath, trying to avoid letting many hear us.

"Excuse me! You're making it seem like I did something wrong. Your son was misbehaving with the Luna queen. I didn't do anything, only scolded him a little. If you had taught him better, he wouldn't have reacted by running away at the very first person scolding him, Hunter hunched over and hissed back at me, using the anger in his eyes to intimidate me,

But he failed.

"You make me sick to my stomach. I don't know why my son left my house to go speak to you, but I can only imagine how he must have felt when you hurt his feelings. As for your beloved Luna Queen, keep her in a golden castle. The world is too harsh for her," I mumbled, wiping away tears and clenching my jaw simultaneously. I was feeling a mix of emotions, and it was evident in my expressions.

"Look, I'm not here to argue with you. I came here genuinely feeling bad for Turner. Do you think I would have scolded him if I knew he would react this way?" Hunter was also clenching his jaw, using gestures, and muttering words in muffled whispers.

"We don't need your sympathy. Just get away from us," I warned him in a whisper, leaning back and straightening my posture to convey that we were done talking. There wasn't much left to say,

He believed Tara's words over my son. Obviously, she is his Luna, and Turner is nothing to him. But scolding a child to the

that it scared him into running away was where he went wrong. They should have waited for my arrival. Imagine

ganging up on an innocent child in the absence of his mother. Only Hunter could do something like that.

"Alpha King, we respect and appreciate your visit, but it is taking a toll on her mental health. We also have the Rogue King here," Polline stood up to diffuse the situation and get him out of my sight since I kep losing control.

"He will help us with whatever we need," she added, smiling at Samuel, who I had forgotten was also there and had witnessed the whole thing.

"She's right" Before Hunter could protest, which seemed likely, Samuel approached him and patted his back.

"Why don't you go try to find that man? I will stay here and make sure they have everything they need." Samuel wasn't being cocky or anything for the first time. I had never seen him like this before. Hunter stared at me and then at Samuel before reluctantly nodding. After a shoulder shrug, he marched away from us, as if he didn't appreciate being kicked out.

Once Hunter left, Samuel attempted to coax us into eating, but the thought of food stuck in my throat. I couldn't swallow anything with my son in such a critical state.

After hours of endless torment, the doctor finally reappeared, this time holding a file and tapping his pen on it. He looked slightly confused and bewildered.

"How is he?" I asked, rising and followed by Polline, who was just as worried as I had been throughout this ordeal..

"He has lost enough blood to be in a very critical state. We are afraid that without enough blood, he might slip into a coma, the doctor announced. I almost stumbled, but Samuel arrived at the right time, supporting me.

"That's not a problem. I've arranged enough blood; he shall be fine, Samuel surprised me with his generosity.

However, the look on the doctor's face remained unsatisfactory. "The thing is, that kid is not just a regular kid. He needs a special kind of blood-a powerful being's blood," the doctor explained. I noticed the list in his hand was of Luna's from every pack. Why was he looking for me in that list?
