Chapter 132

Hunter.

"I need to shift so I can protect my pack and bring Reyna back," I told my mother, who had just persuaded Turner to go change and head to bed. He'd been asking me all day about Reyna's return. I kept making excuses after excuses until I couldn't come up with another lie. So, I left the mansion and headed to the woods to shift.

But I couldn't reach my wolf once again. It worried me. And the fact that Samuel might know about my condition because it started after his people injected something into me was troubling. He was aware that my wolf wasn't waking, and that wasn't a good sign.

"Have you tried contacting Reyna again? I called her, but her cellphone has been turned off this entire time," Mom expressed her worry, making me sigh and rub my face in my hands as I sat on the couch. It had been a tiring day. I tried my best to get in contact with Reyna, but I couldn't.

"I did try calling Samuel, but he has me blocked now. I think I'll head to the rogue community in the morning and confront Samuel myself. There's no way Reyna isn't thinking about coming back," I hissed, feeling mixed emotions about Reyna leaving to stay with Samuel.

"I just hope she's well. I don't understand why she wouldn't be contacting Turner on her own," my mother uttered, expressing the

same concern as me.

"That's what I'm wondering. I get it that she had nowhere else to go in the rogue community. Samuel's palace might have been the only safe place, but to not even call Turner again." I muttered as I recalled the day I heard her voice on the phone call where she was asking Samuel to come to her in the bathroom.

I shook my head to avoid thinking about that day and that incident. It didn't mean anything. I'm sure she'll have a good excuse for it

"I'll go visit Samuel's castle myself," I muttered as I sighed. I had gathered information about his new home, and it bothered me. The castle was old, and how he got to live in it was a mystery. From what I knew, the old owner of the castle had to be around but he wasn't. Samuel got the castle for himself and had never even mentioned it to me all this time.

"But you don't have a wolf. What if Samuel tries to take advantage of your condition?" Mom asked me with concern.

"Mom! Reyna is there. I must go regardless of the dangers I might face there. I don't believe that Reyna didn't think about contacti us for Turner, I knew it would be hard for her to even think about me. She didn't love me anymore, and whatever bond we were forming had been diminished after I got accused of so much crap. But Turner! There was no way she would leave her son for

anyone.

"I suggest you take your warriors with you," Mom said, definitely worried about me, but I was more worried about Reyha than anything else.

"I'll go see Turner; he must be getting ready for bed," I sighed as I walked away from my mother to climb the stairs and face my s again. His constant asking about his mother had left me feeling helpless. She was so far away from me now.

I wondered if she hated me. Maybe she was finally hating on me and even my son because he has my blood in him. No! No way would do that. I had been trying to convince myself that everything was fine. Chapter 132

"Turner, are you asleep?" I peered through the door and asked, noticing the darkness of the room and assuming he was already in

bed.

"No!" came his little voice from inside, instantly bringing a smile to my I*ps. I don't know what I would do without him.

"Have you been waiting for your father to tell you a bedtime story?" I inquired, hoping to bring him some comfort.

We were all utterly devastated by Reyna's absence from our lives. I know I was suffering, and there was no denying that my son was, too. I have been skipping my meetings and pack business as well because I couldn't concentrate on anything. I seemed to keep remembering the days when I was sick and she took care of me. I saw love in her eyes.

I have left the pack matters in the hands of Jeffery for now.

"No!" he replied. I entered the room, pulling a chair close to his bed, sitting down, and leaning over to kiss his forehead.

"Then?" I probed gently.

"I know you've been avoiding me all day. It's like I'm starting to think that maybe I'm the problem, his little voice filled with concern broke my heart.

I felt an instant pang of guilt as I ran my hand through his hair, our eyes locking.

"No! I wasn't avoiding you," I felt quilty, though in reality. I was trying to evade him. Every time he saw me, he would ask when Reyna was coming home. I don't know when, but I ran out of answers.

"I know you were. Even mommy is avoiding me now. Am I really a bad child?" his big eyes locked onto mine, blinking softly, tears clinging to his eyelashes.

The sight of him like that shattered my heart. No child should ever ask such a question, especially one who has been nothing but

their best self.

"No! Turner! Your mother isn't avoiding you, and you are the best son I could ever ask for," my voice didn't falter, and neither did I. H noticed and sat up in bed. He needed to know he wasn't the problem here, I was. She left the mansion in the first place because o

1. me.

"Then why isn't mommy coming back home? She's never stayed away from me for so long. Turner asked, his stare heavy with

sadness.

He wasn't mistaken. The woman who married her ex just to remain close to her son wasn't even attempting to contact her son anymore? It didn't make any sense at all.

"I know your mother would never neglect to contact you. There is definitely something wrong, and I'll personally visit Samuel in t morning," finally, I disclosed the truth to my son.

Hiding from him was causing him stress. He was questioning himself because of our actions, and I didn't want that to happen.
