Chapter 45

Reyna Cruz:

“I knew you two were up to something when I caught you in the garden, looking all flustered,” Polline had been asking me for details for the last few minutes ever since Samuel left the house. He stayed with us the whole day and even helped. Polline prepare dinner. Turner was getting along well with him. He never mentioned anything about Hunter either, so I guessed he didn’t have a problem having Samuel around. And unlike what Hunter said about Turner forgiving him eventually.

“He came into the bedroom unannounced, I tried to make it seem like I was annoyed, but I could tell she wasn’t buying my lies anymore. “Oh come on, when the two of you came out again, it was pretty clear that something happened between the two of you. And the way he was looking at you— even I got butterflies flying around in my stomach,” she smiled at me, offering me a wine glass as we sat on the balcony and stared at the dark night.

The silence engulfed us, and then I brought up the topic of Hunter, “I don’t want him to be around us anymore.” “I was right that he hadn’t moved on, wasn’t I?” she pouted sadly, watching me nod my head and then let out a sigh. “It was all too much when we talked about the past in the office today. That’s when I realized you were right. He was still looking at my face with the same pain as before,” I sighed and took a sip from the wine.

“Hmm! It takes time to move on when you think your fated mate has betrayed you. I am sure he will get over it eventually, if not now, then when you accept Samuel, the thought of him knowing about me accepting his friend shook me into reality. “Do you think it will be appropriate for me to accept his friend? I don’t want him to continue hurting.”

“I am not sure why you are asking me this question?” she frowned in confusion. “Hasn’t he accepted your friend too?” she anger. I inquired, making me press my lips into a tight line as remembering it always hurt me. “He did it out of spite and don’t have a reason to make him pay for it. In all honesty, if I had found him in the room in the same condition as he had found me that day, I would have never even talked to him or looked at his face again. He was still nice enough to let me do my job, I closed my eyes when remembering things used to be so different when we were together. And then the whole drama happened, and we lost each other. I now think that the whole change in him came from the fact that I have hurt him deeply. It is extremely heartbreaking for most mates to move on and find happiness after they have been betrayed by their

mates.

“You are not doing it out of spite. The Moon Goddess made Samuel, his best friend, your second chance mate. If there is anyone he should go after complaining, it is the Moon Goddess, not you,” she held my hand and pressed it to reassure me that I am not at fault here.

“Thank you for always being here for me,” 1 gave her the same mild smile I always give her whenever I remember how she stuck beside me from the time back when I gave birth to now.

After finishing our drinks, we headed for bed. I had a huge day tomorrow, as Hunter had texted in the group about some clients coming over to discuss our project. I was supposed to write some content for the promotion of our new program for the rogues.

I was excited because the rogue community was slowly getting established. Many rogues had been kicked out over ridiculous crimes, not only by Hunter but also by other packs. In fact, checking the statistics, I realized that the other packs. were the most brutal when it came to kicking someone out.

“I am getting late, can you please wake up Turner and make sure he gets his medicines too?” I yelled from the door, calling Polline as I shoved my stuff into the car. The purple blazer and pants

looked stunning. Polline’s choices were amazing.

“Don’t worry, I will take care of him, she followed me to the car, placing the lunchbox for me and then closing the car door.

Turner hadn’t been attending school for the past few days and was also taking mild medication to avoid getting into the trauma of what had happened to him. Sadly, even when a week had passed, we weren’t able to find the man who had done it

to him.

Not like I forgot about it either. That man would forever be in my mind because he waited around the corner to harm my

Who could it be?

I’ve asked myself that question many times already, and none of the times have I been able to get an answer. After reaching the building. I instantly jumped out of the car and headed for the floor where the meeting was held. Once on the top floor, I greeted Jeffery with a head bow, and he pointed towards the meeting room.

“Best of luck!” he smiled, giving me a thumbs up. However, upon entering the hall, I didn’t see Hunter around. Everybody else was there, even Samuel.

“You’ll do great,” Samuel mouthed, sitting across the table and waiting for me to start. I was already late, so I didn’t have time to ask around or meet anyone. With a deep breath, I began to present the project to the clients. It was a tiring one–hour presentation, and from the looks of it, it seemed to be

going well. They were all sharing glances and then giving nods, acknowledging how well I was presenting my thoughts and ideas.

After an hour, it finally came to an end, and the clients began to chatter about the deal. Another hour passed, and it was determined that they seemed interested, planning to come for another meeting in a few days. Finally, I was free and ready to speak to Samuel. He looked very happy with my achievements.

“That was perfect,” he walked closer, smiling brightly. Everyone else was sent to the adjacent hall to feast on the food. We stayed behind to collect our stuff and talk a little.

“Thank you,” I shyly tucked my hair behind my ear. I wanted to ask about Hunter, but I didn’t want to burden him with thoughts of my ex–mate.

“I was thinking– Samuel uttered, running his finger on the back of my hand and smiling, “I will come by tomorrow to spend the night over, what do you think?” His little offer sent shivers down my spine. I quickly looked around to make sure nobody was watching us.

1 bet if anyone saw me, they would know that I was blushing too hard and that he was flirting with me. “Why?” I asked in a muffled whisper, embarrassed and shy.

“Umm! Because my bed isn’t too comfortable anymore. I think someone’s arms will be a better bed for me,” he whispered. and then leaned over, planting a kiss on my shoulder. I closed my eyes to cherish his body heat and then smiled nervously.

“No!” was all I could utter.

“Why? Are your arms not warm enough, or you don’t want me in your home?” he asked, leaning back and then correcting himself, “or in your bed?”

“Fine. If you really insist, I will prepare the guestroom for you, I moaned and bit my tongue. I wasn’t naive enough to not understand his hints, but I could tease him back too.

“Ah! No! I will be in the same room as you,” he reluctantly pouted, poking his finger on my arm and then adding, “In the same bed as you and under the same blanket as you.”

As I shook my head playfully, he hushed me down to finish saying what he had next to say, “I want to fuck you tonight.”
