Alpha Hunter

Chapter 50

Hunter

I’ve been fuming over her audacity to be upset with me for spending time with my son. I knew if Reyna was around. Turner would have retreated to his room and never surfaced.

I did whatever it took to talk to my son.

“And how did that go? Net asked, scoffing simultaneously. The whole ordeal of Reyna being mated to my best friend deeply bothered me.

That wasn’t fair. Why would the Moon Goddess give her another powerful mate when she hadn’t respected the Moon Goddess decision the first time?

I know what you are angry about. I am also thinking about it and wondering why she would get another powerful mate if she truly cheated on her fated mate?‘ Net’s bringing up the past was the last thing I wanted to deal with at the moment. This had happened many times when either of us doubted the accusations.

But then again, what was left for us to see at that time? We saw the text messages, and then we found her in the hotel room. She claimed someone messaged her, saying I was cheating on her and even provided the hotel address, insisting I was with my sidechick there.

‘Could it be— Net continued, and I rolled my eyes, focusing on the road at the same time.

Think about it—she is still persistent that she didn’t cheat, I knew what was happening with Net. Even when our bond had been broken, he was still bothered to see her with someone else.

If you want me to find new evidence, I was only taunting, but he quickly warmed to the idea.

“Okay”

I slowed down the car and frowned, “what?”

“Sure. Let’s do more research, it’s not like we don’t know where to start from, Net added, and for a moment, I anticipated if he was asking me to waste my time or what.

But then the memory of my son telling me about Reyna and Samuel flashed before me, and it made me nod my head in agreement.

“Okay! Let’s do it, but in the meanwhile, I don’t want them to be together, I stated clearly to my wolf, who I thought by now would understand why I don’t want to see them together.

“Okay! But it is not like it is our decision. She seemed pretty into that man, the fact that Net didn’t even want to say his name made it clear how annoyed he had been with him.

He was our friend, and we hung out almost every other day. None of the times did he mention anything about finding his

mate.

What a sneaky bastard!

“Then I need to do something to make sure that doesn’t happen, I grunted.

“In the meanwhile, I will find the warrior who checked the data records for the trials, I added, turning my car around to go meet the council member. Now that Reyna had pushed me to fight for my son’s custody, I knew what I had to do.

There was something straightforward on my mind that could make her drop Samuel, or at least stay away from him.

“Hey, greetings alpha king Hunter!” Elder Gale instantly stepped forward to bow down to me, probably confused ton at my sudden unannounced arrival.

“How are you?” I asked, entering and looking around the cozy late home.

“I am great. I do miss the time when I could transition in a heartbeat and nun around,” he sighed but welcomed me to the living room, which had a huge view of the garden through a big window.

“What is stopping you from doing so?” I questioned, taking a seat after his offer.

“Ah! It gets really painful when transforming, ah. I am not young anymore, you know,” he waved his hand and sighed. “what do you want me to get you? Coffee or some good old alcohol?” he smiled, gesturing at his servant to serve us the instant I made a pick.

“Thank you so much for your offer, but I already drank some coffee on my way here.” I lied; I didn’t want our conversation to be delayed. Every passing minute seemed like I could hear the news of Reyna accepting Samuel

“You look stressed out; tell me what brought you here?” he slid to the edge of his sofa, trying to see through my eyes.

“You know, my son Turner is living with his mother,” I sighed, watching him shrug.

“It confused me how she hid the truth from us and ran away with your child. It is a big thing. Just the other day, we counselors were talking about it,” the way he started talking about the issue gave me some hope. They were already aware that I should have been informed of the birth of my son.

“Reyna has found her second chance mate, though,” I said, tapping my foot unintentionally out of anxiety. Even talking about her having a second chance mate made me realize she would soon move on from me. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“That is bad, but I think these days the Moon Goddess just gives everyone a second chance and doesn’t really care how her decisions are made fun of when her subjects cheat on their mates,” Elder Gale had the same perspective on the situation as I did.

“Right! The issue is that the man she is mated to is the Rogue King” I watched his jaw hang open, his eyes jump out of their sockets, and then he shook his head in disappointment.

“Isn’t he your friend?” he asked in a whisper as if not to upset me.

“He was!” I corrected him, and he understood that I wasn’t very fond of the news.

“Are you still in love with your ex?” My body stiffened at the question. I kept my head down because it was easy to lie that

way.

“Of course not”

“It is just that I could barely see my son, and now with him being in the picture, I will never be allowed in the mansion. Not that I want to step into her home, but I want my time with my son,” I demanded, and now I raised my head. He saw right through me and realized I wasn’t going to rest even if nobody was on my side.

“Hey! we are on your side. I think you are absolutely right. Besides, an alpha king’s son should be in his care, in his custody. Especially when the mate cheated. There is a rule that states it clearly. I guess maybe that’s why she hid the truth because she knew she couldn’t prove her innocence so

her son will be taken away from her,” Elder Gale rubbed his chin, pulling up his phone and then checking through the list of rules.

I knew about that rule, but I didn’t really think of using it against her. I didn’t want to steal Turner from her when she had done nothing but work hard for him. She brought him up all by herself.

‘But whose fault is that? We would have taken care of him if only we knew. She stole him from us, Net scoffed at me, trying to defend her.

That was the normal occurrence between us. Sometimes, he would be on her side, and other times. I would be.

And besides, there is a huge possibility that stealing him from her could lead her straight back to us, as he whispered those words, my body got covered in goosebumps,

I had no clue what he was talking about. I never thought about it. Why would I want her back after I kicked her out of my life myself?

“Have you lost your mind? I don’t want her back, I frowned, watching Gale get busy with the council on the phone.

“Are you sure? Do you not want to keep her with you and punish her?” Net made a good point..

I mean, you are not wrong. If she is with Samuel, he will treat her right and fill her life with love, but she shouldn’t be getting all these happiness when her fated mate has suffered because of her, I instantly agreed and shifted in my seat.

But we are only doing it so that we can punish her, I reminded Net after realizing I showed way too much excitement.

“Yeah! Yeah!‘ Net sounded a bit sketchy too. We felt awkward after that conversation, but we didn’t have to worry about it too much since Gale had put his phone down and was now looking my way to tell me what he had planned for us.

“The council is going to demand her to let him spend time in your mansion, and in the meanwhile, we will try to create a committee to take Turner away from her and give him to you,” that was what I wanted to hear. A smile crept over my lips because I knew how I could use this information as a threat to make her mine again.

“Huh? Net suddenly interrupted my thoughts, and I cleared my throat to add.

‘To punish her.
