Alpha Hunter

Chapter 43

Reyna Cruz:

“Anyway,” Hunter shook his head and looked away from me. The storm inside me had calmed down because I felt guilty in my own eyes for letting Tara fool me so perfectly that she didn’t leave me with a chance to defend myself. There was no evidence that could prove my innocence unless that man comes back to testify or Thra spills the beans. Both of that would never happen.

“I will head back home now,” I took a deep breath but kept my head lowered as I gathered my stuff and shoved it in the bag. I expected Hunter to tell me not to leave without finishing the project, but he didn’t do that.

“You are going to let her walk away unharmed after she beat me up?” I heard Tara rush over to Hunter. The way she used her words made me feel like she was implying that he should have laid his hands on me as well.

“You’re not suggesting I take it out on my child’s mother, are you?” Hunter replied to her in a calm yet irritated manner. My muscles tensed up at the choice of his words. I acted like I wasn’t even around, and they weren’t even talking about me.

“But that shouldn’t give her an open chance to lay her hand on me,” Tara was making sure to use her gentle tone with him, whereas he had walked away from her and sat down on his seat, watching me fill up my bag desperately to leave his office.

Once I had finished packing up my stuff, I rushed towards the exit without giving them another glance. I am sorry!‘ Nera whispered; she could feel the tension in my body. ‘I don’t know what to feel about anything anymore, I complained as I almost tripped but then held myself together and walked out of the building to leave for home..

‘Did that change your mind about Hunter?‘ she questioned. It makes me eye his side. If he hadn’t hurt Turner, I might have seen him as an entirely innocent person, but the way he hurt my son makes me not want to empathize with him, although I wasn’t too vocal about my feelings with her, she understood the hidden meaning behind me twisting the answer.

“Do you think we would have done the same thing if we have found him in that hotel room with some woman just like he found us?” she was right about that question. I actually never thought about it that way. But now that it was cleared that he didn’t just let everything happen without putting in any effort to do his investigation, I was beginning to explore my own mind and my feelings when I used to get text messages from some unknown caller ID, claiming that they know for a fact that Hunter had been cheating on me.

‘I never told him about the messages and started to suspect him. I don’t know how I would have felt if I had seen him in the same state he had seen me in the hotel, but I know for a fact that I would have never accepted him again in my life. There it was; I knew we were over now. Things had gone too far, and no one would accept their cheating mate again. There was no point in having that discussion, so I drove back home to be with my son. My knuckles were hurting from landing a hard punch on Tara. Even though I was an omega, I left quite a damage to her face, and I was proud of myself. I wasn’t someone who would resort to violence, but when it comes to my baby, I will do anything and everything to take revenge on those who hurt my son.

As I parked my car in the driveway, I saw Samuel’s car parked ahead. ‘He has proven himself to be much better for us, at least given the circumstances; he is a good choice, Nera commented at the sight of him. I walked out of the car, watching my son play in the garden with him. Samuel was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, playing basketball with my son while Polline was cheering them on. I expected the rest of the day to be very sad, but seeing my son smile and laugh so loud whenever Samuel lost to him gave me hope and a weak smile to cover my lips.

“Ah! You came home early,” Polline saw me and waved her hand at me. Seeing me walk towards them made Turner run up to me and hug me, whereas Samuel sneakily scanned me before he tilted his head as if he had something on his mind to

say.

“Yeah! There was not much to discuss today,” I said, eyeing Polline to get Turner inside and wash his hands so that we can have some food together as I brought Chinese takeout with me. Polline gave me a nod and then gestured to Turner, “come! Let’s clean up, and then we will all have lunch.” Turner nodded and walked away from us, giving us time and space.

“So, are you going to tell me what happened to your hand, or do I have to torture some guard to get the information out of

them on who might have been the reason behind your swollen knuckles!” He walked closer and held my hand. If he had touched me before, I would have reacted the same way I do with him, released my hand and frowned at him. But I did none of that this time.

“What happened?” He gently massaged my knuckles and asked me. “I punched the Luna Queen for bullying my son.” I stated, and after a brief pause, he started laughing but never let go of my hand all this time. “I will make sure I never get on your wrong side, ever,” he joked, still holding my hand.

As the weird silence engulfed us, he brought my hand closer to his lips and very slowly kissed my knuckles. My body surged with sensations that I hadn’t felt in so long. I breathed deeply and then

gulped, watching him plant another kiss, and then another, slowly traveling up my arm and then pulling me closer.

I was done resisting my second chance mate. Even my wolf couldn’t resist the warmth of his kisses. He then buried his face in my neck and kissed my naked skin, licking a little. Without any knowledge and control over my body, I found a little moan escape my lips when he sucked my skin a little too hard, “ahmm!” He rubbed his lips on my neck before moving them up to my chin and then to my cheek.

“Your scent makes me want to rip open your clothes and bite your body till there is no place left,” he whispered in my ear, pressing his lips to kiss me and then lifting his lips again and repeating the process. “I want to accept you,” he then pulled back but kept his face only an inch away. My body felt goosebumps cover it, but before I could even make a decision for myself, he tilted his head and crashed his lips against mine.
