Chapter 100
Reyna Cruz:
“I think you forgot about me entirely. Was I just a rebound?” The hurt in his voice made me feel guilty.
“I remember you told me that you will need some time before you love me unconditionally, but I didn’t know that you didn’t even love me a little, I was guilty and couldn’t even utter anything in my defense.
He wasn’t wrong though. While taking care of Hunter, I entirely forgot about Samuel. I guess in my head, I kind of believed Hunter when he said Sam transitioned and healed. It never occurred to me to check on him personally.
“Are you okay now? Tell me what happened to you? I want to know about your injuries” I began to insist because the thought of him in pain was extreme to me. I didn’t forget about him, I just thought he was fine.
If Hunter was in such a messed-up state, I could only imagine how Samuel must have been.
“All broken and it will take some time for me to heal, he muttered. The subtle hint of anger was rather towards me forgetting about him than about the fight he had with Hunter.
“But why? Were you given wolfsbane too?” I didn’t want to question the authenticity of his claims. It was just that I was
curious.
“Reyna! After I defended you against that couple, the others arrived, and that’s when they found Hunter there too. It was the first rime Hunter and I were fighting and for some reason, I just couldn’t focus on the fight. He wrecked me and I wrecked him, and my people were shooting wolfsbane arrows in the midst of us fighting, so I got hit by a few while Hunter got hit by many. Hence, I left and they continued to fight with him. I will heal once the wolfsbane runs out of my system, he sounded so tired.
I was stunned because he didn’t even have anyone to take care of him.
“Samuel! Please ask someone to come take care of you, I knew he wouldn’t do that, but it was just a thought that crossed my
mind.
It will not be easy for him to live alone and do it all by himself.
“I don’t want anyone but you!” he stubbornly stated, “my wolf needs you, Reyna. It is unfair that I am tossed out of your life like I never existed while the man who has always hurt you has you. Why? Why have you so easily forgiven him?” he insisted, and I heard a little sob from him. This was the same rogue king who never used to cry or look upset.
I have broken his heart and left him so miserable.
“Sam–,” Before I could even try to come up with an excuse for why I was taking care of Hunter, Samuel intervened again.
“If you truly care about me like you say you do, then I want you to prove it,” he hissed angrily.
“I do, I have only said till that part when he intervened me again.
“Reyna! I’m not taking any medicine or food until you come to see me,” he finished and hung up, leaving my jaw hanging
Jow
I tried calling him so that I could tell him that I could not leave the mansion and pack when Hunter was not around to take care of his pack and mansion. But Samuel never answered my single call.
However, his words had managed to make my wolf feel anxious.
“Are you okay?” Mrs. Sparrow arrived with the council behind me, and upon finding me lost in my phone, she asked me.

“Yeah!” I abruptly raised my head as if I was hiding something and locked my phone, looking over at the council’s elder and his people behind him.
Elder Gale!
How could I ever forget his face? He had reminded me time and time again that he was against the idea of giving me any respect. In fact, he happily signed the papers to give Hunter full custody of my son.
“Reyna! You have arrived back into the pack, Elder Gale, who didn’t even seem happy, forced a smile onto his lips when greeting me. I could tell seeing me back was the last thing he wanted to see.
I am back as the Luna Queen, I uttered.
“I wonder if that would make people respect me. I tilted my head and noticed the smile disappearing from Elder Gale’s lips before he turned slightly to his men behind and grinned.
“Let’s bet and see how long she stays faithful this time,” as he taunted my character, I felt something burn my skin. It was anger and realization that this man was so toxic that no matter what, he would never accept me as their Luna Queen.
“So that’s what you do in your spare time?” I asked and folded my arms over my chest.
“Huh?” Elder Gale asked with his brow raised.
I mean, it’s pretty odd that you’re betting on others when you should be focusing on the pack’s security. There are so many matters that are getting worse, and you are busy in household dramas, Elder Gale! I believe it is time to retire. I feel like you don’t enjoy doing the council duty anymore.” I smirked when I watched his jaw meet the floor.
He needed to know that I was no longer that girl they used to make fun of. I was so heartbroken when they all mistreated me in the past. But not once did I take a stand for myself.
“And who would you be to tell me what I should do?” he clenched his jaw, grunting as he tried to scare me with a step he took closer to me.
“I am Hunter’s mate. The Luna Queen!” as I straightened my back and faced him with much confidence, he stepped back and looked around. He was probably looking for assistance from Mrs. Sparrow, who used to be there in the past to shut me down even when I wasn’t defending myself.
“She is not wrong. However, Mrs. Sparrow said something entirely different this time. “you shouldn’t disrespect her. Hunter would not like it.
I watched Elder Gale be lost in thought before he scoffed. It was as if he didn’t believe the statement.
“Hunter made us sign full custody. Do you think he cares about her when he is taking the son away from her?” That evil old man smirked and passed me a glance, but Mrs. Sparrow knew what she had to say to shut him up entirely.
That full custody hoax was so that he could marry Reyna. And that worked. You helped my son reunite with the love of his life, Reyna Cruz!” the words seemed to have shaken the world from under the elder’s feet.
I freaking loved it when he gulped and stepped back. However, things were not simply done yet. I began to walk around to greet everyone and started to receive messages from Samuel.
Sam: Hunter is not in the pack, you can sneak out. I don’t think anyone would dare question a Luna queen where she is headed.
A message from Sam flashed on my phone.
1 frowned and shook my head because I didn’t want to do that. I had decided not to sneak out. If I had to go
o meet Samuel, 1 would rather announce it to Hunter and leave.

Chapter 100
I was aimlessly roaming near the guestroom to call Sam, but he wouldn’t pick up my calls when I looked over at the back
entrance.
Tara had returned with Jeffery. She was all dressed up again, but her hair and makeup were a mess for obvious reasons. Jeffery must have stayed on the side, holding her dress when she transitioned.
“You should rest now,” Jeffery told her in his soft voice.
“I wanted to attend the event tonight. Ah! Everything is going against me. It seems like when Hunter is not around, nobody respects me.” I rolled my eyes at the fact that she was lying to everyone so bluntly.
“He will be back soon,” however, the lack of emotions from Jeffery’s side was a shocker. He used to treat her with a lot of respect in the beginning.
“Thank you,” she stopped abruptly and stared at Jeffery.
“No problem,” he had only tried to walk away when she held his hand and pulled him back, kissing him on the lips.
I felt my body freeze. It was like I was watching something taboo, She had caged him hard with her kiss like there was no
tomorrow.
