Chapter 98 Reyna Cruz: I’ve spent the whole day getting ready for the event and looking after Hunter too. Luckily, Mrs. Sparrow took good care of Turner, so at least I was free from that responsibility. But then Tara returned and started bothering us. “Where’s Hunter off to?” She found me as I left my bedroom, blocking my way. We were both dressed up: I was in a black dress while she was wearing a blue one for the event. I didn’t want her around but I knew if I told her, she would purposely stick around more and make everything difficult for us even more. “He’s gone off on some secret mission,” I didn’t know what else to say, and I didn’t feel obliged to give her any explanations either. “I need more than that,” she hissed, crossing her arms over her chest and glaring at me. “If he didn’t tell you himself, then maybe he didn’t want you to know, I watched her shake her head arrogantly. “You think you’re important because he told you where he went? She hissed but before I could even ask her to leave me alone, she continued, “it is because he doesn’t care if you take stress from his secret mission. But he cares and doesn’t want me to worry about it by telling me about it.” As soon as she finished babbling. I began to laugh and it narrowed her eyes in my face. “That’s so rude,” she hissed. “What? I am pretty sure that’s why he didn’t tell you anything. I gave her a smirk, making her even more upset by doubting her and Hunter’s love for her. At this point, I have found out that Hunter hadn’t even touched her unless it was to drag her out of his bedroom or make her leave him alone whenever she tried to force herself on him. “Now please, step aside. I have guests to attend to,” I rolled my eyes at her and started walking past her when suddenly she overtook me and hurriedly made her way downstairs.
I need to meet guests too,” she whined like a spoiled child, rushing until her ankle twisted, and the next thing I knew, she was tumbling downstairs. “Ahhh!” she screamed, and no matter how hard I tried to follow her, she had already reached the ground floor. “Tara!” Jaffery, who had come with the guests, saw her, yelled, and rushed to pick her up. The guests must have seen her run downstairs; otherwise, I’m sure the council would accuse me of pushing her.. “I’m in so much pain,” Tara whined and cried, raising her voice until the entire royal hall was filled with her screams. I watched my son move closer to Mrs. Sparrow and hug her. So, I dodged Tara on the ground and ran to my son to reassure him that she would be fine. “She should go through a transition and come back after she’s healed. I was stunned to hear Mrs. Sparrow raise her voice and give Tara orders for the first time. Ever since I returned, I noticed that Mrs. Sparrow no longer spoke with the same confidence. But tonight, it was different. This evening. I got to see the same Mrs. Sparrow who used to talle care of the pack’s matters. Tara turned her neck to stare at her in disbelief before she started sobbing more dramatically. “She doesn’t even care, nobody does. That’s why I miss Hunter so much, he would have swept me off my feet, she began 1/3 ။ O 63% Chapter 98 fabricating tales. The fact that she didn’t even mind the grown adults watching her cry and whine like a child, yet she persisted, explained how unbearable she was. “When has my son ever scooped you up in his arms?” Mrs. Sparrow continued to counter, even when Tara looked shocked and embarrassed.

“Jeffery! Pick her up and take her to the woods,” she then commanded Jeffery, who understood that if he didn’t heed Mrs. Sparrow now, he would face the consequences along with Tara. I could tell Tara was shocked by Mrs. Sparrow’s behavior. Well, it was about time that Mrs. Sparrow stood up for herself. I heard from the others that after I left, Tara took over since Hunter no longer showed interest in any mansion matters. That’s when Tara began to torment Mrs. Sparrow, even leaving her in tears for days. “She is sending me away as if my pain is nothing? Shouldn’t everyone should be worried for me?” Tara whispered under her breath, not too vocal anymore. Jeffery signaled to Tara not to make a scene and assisted her in getting up instead of carrying her in his arms. I noticed Tara was disappointed. Perhaps she expected him to carry her, as she did raise her arms as if to be lifted. “I’ll be back once she’s settled, Jeffery announced, casting a fleeting glance at me before heading towards the exit with Tara. I bet he noticed that I was looking at him a bit differently this time. And he wasn’t wrong. I was actually suspicious of him. I needed to ask him a few questions. I wasn’t surprised anymore that he lied; maybe he did it to divert my suspicions of him spying on me. But the data was collected by him. That bothered me. “Now that everyone is here,” Mrs. Sparrow’s loud voice brought me back to reality as I watched her hold a glass of wine and stand in the middle of the crowd. “I would like to raise a toast to welcome our Lama queen and our future alpha king of the pack, Reyna and Turner!” She smiled widely and cheered. My son shrugged playfully and took a sip from his fresh orange juice, while I noticed the council looking shady and upset. Before I could approach them and greet them, I felt a tap on my shoulder from behind. Upon turning around, I froze for a moment because the sight before my eyes was something I had long forgotten about. I didn’t expect these people to come back into my life, let alone be courageous enough to get my attention. “My daughter!” my so-called mother, who had shattered me when I reached out to her from the rogue community, spread her arms to hug me.
I remembered that she was the first person I had contacted when I was able to. I wanted to let her know that I was fine and that she shouldn’t worry too much about me. But it all came crashing back when she started yelling at me and warning me to never call them again. After that, they didn’t even bother to ask anyone what happened to their daughter. So, I did what I thought was the best thing to do; I pulled back and raised my palms slightly to indicate she should step away from me. “Who are you?” I asked, watching her gasp. My father smiled weakly as he stepped forward. “We are your parents, my child. I know you are upset with us. But you need to understand that we were extremely miserable, and we didn’t have any other choice but to ask you to leave us alone. We couldn’t have survived in the rogue community,” the audacity of him trying to justify himself was beyond me. “Really? When you could have told me this nicely, you yelled at me and called me names. This is not how children are brought up. I might have even forgiven you if I didn’t have a child of my own and if I hadn’t done everything in my power 10 keep him safe. So forgive me if I am being mean, but I don’t want to see your faces ever again,” I had tears in my eyes as I explained that I didn’t want anything to do with them. you are our daughter, and we have-,” my mother began to cry silently while uttering the words softly when my head 13.24 Thu, May 16 GR Chapter 98 shake silenced her. “Your daughter died the day you cut ties with her. I hissed, but their reaction was surprising. They looked upset and hurt, as if they weren’t the ones who told me first that I am no longer their daughter.
