Chapter 105
Reyna Cruz:
“Rest now, I’ll check on you later,” I said with a smile as I turned to leave, but as I opened the door, I found Tara blocking my way once again.
“Didn’t I tell you–” I began to scold her, puzzled by her return, but she sidestepped to reveal my son.
“I brought his son. Turner wanted to know where his daddy was right?” she smirked, stepping aside to reveal Turner. Mrs. Sparrow was hissing at Tara while Turner stood before me with teary eyes.
“I couldn’t stop him after she told him her father is here,” Mrs. Sparrow muttered. It wasn’t really her fault though.
Turner gently pushed me aside and entered the room. Hunter immediately sat up and tried to look away.
Turner! You should leave, son, he raised his hand to hide his face from his son.
1 felt guilty for not paying more attention, I should have asked Thra to leave when she bothered my son last night. I don’t know why Hunter had kept her around for so long.
Turner approached Hunter and gently lowered his hand. Then he rested his little finger under his father’s chin and made him look at him.
The two silently watched each other, and then my son hugged his father.
“You will be fine, daddy, Turner said, and Hunter’s eyes filled with tears as he hugged his son back. I turned to look at Tara, who had her mouth agape.
“See, that’s why I brought him here. I knew he was worried and Hunter was hurting, she didn’t even want to look at Hunter. She said all that while looking at me.
“You should go now.” I gave her a very sarcastic smile. She didn’t wait for Hunter to say another word and hurried out of the
room.
“Mom! You didn’t have to hide him here. And daddy, why did you think I wouldn’t want to see you?” Turner was not li Tara. We should have known that already.
I would like to take Dad back to the main mansion where I can take care of him as well, Turner said, then held his hand and began to lead him out of bed. I could tell Hunter wanted to cry, but the fear of stretching his skin and the b pouring out stopped him.
We all walked silently behind Turner, who took Hunter upstairs to my bedroom.
“He is such a bright child,” Mrs. Sparrow smiled quickly, sprinting upstairs after them.
I was much relieved now. With Turner knowing where his father was and everything going well, I had only one worry in my mind: Samuel. I needed to meet him. He didn’t deserve abandonment after he had done so much for me. I waited for Turner to settle down, and when he left the room bringing his father along with Mrs. Sparrow, I entered the room to speak
to Hunter.
“I can’t believe my son is so well-mannered,” Hunter could hardly smile, but I could tell he was happy.
“He is the best, I know,” I was proud of my son. If Thra had been brought up like him, it would have been better.
But now I was going to speak to Hunter about something that would surely ruin his mood.
“I wanted to talk to you about something,” I cleared my throat and started nervously playing with my fingers.

“What is it? Did Tara do something again?” he inquired.

Now that he was not lonely and had someone to take care of him, I remembered how he had forced me into a marriage and then made Tara stay as well.
“I am going out to meet Samuel, I said and watched a frown appear on his forehead.
“Before you remind me that I am married and marked to you, I want to tell you that I am still mated to him as well. I get it
that
you will not allow it all, but Hunter, I didn’t enter that marriage with a promise of loyalty and all, I explained to him why I don’t think I was doing something wrong.
“What if I say no?” he asked sternly. I knew he wouldn’t be happy
“Hunter! I am not asking for your permission. I am just letting you know,” I said and walked to the side to grab my bag from the nightstand.
“Reyna! I don’t want you meeting that rogue,” he muttered and kept glaring at me, “you are now my mate-
“By force.” I reminded him. I know I was getting carried away, but I had to remember that he forced me into this marriage. I was in so much pain the day he did that to me.
He wielded my worst fear as a threat against me. Let’s just say I did decide to tie the knot with Sam that day. Would he have taken my son away from me? Of course, he would have. He got the council to sign the papers.
“I hope you grasp that just because you impose something on someone, it doesn’t mean they have to remain loyal to you Besides, you publicly announced that you’re sticking with your chosen mate, who isn’t even marked by you, nor have you felt a mate bond with her. Why can’t I go have a chat with my second chance mate, who, by the way, I can still feel a mate bond with?” Targued, noticing his head shaking.
“I” he attempted to speak again, but Turner barged in.
“Daddy! Look, I squeezed the juice out for you, my son cheered happily, presenting him with the glass.
“Mommy! Are you going somewhere?” Turner asked as he settled on the bed.
“I have to go see Polline,” I smiled at him, and he pouted.
“Why hasn’t she come here?” he looked sad, and 1 knew he missed her; she missed him too.
“She has to take care of her business there,” I tried to avoid Turner’s gaze when he protested.
“Daddy, why can’t we help her sell her business there, come here, and do the same thing she does there? She takes care of rogues and gives them apartments. She can do that here for omegas, my son shocked me. Even I forgot I was leaving the mansion for some work. I had to take a moment to appreciate how good he was at business..
“That sounds like a good idea,” I was even surprised that Hunter agreed to it until he added the next part, and I understood why he was even willing to appoint Polline, “your mom can stay today, and then we can go together to convince Polline and bring her home.”
I grunted as I watched my son nod his head. Even when Hunter was unwell, he was trying to stop me. But that made me even more reluctant to give in anymore.
“I will still go and meet her today. Why don’t you take care of your father for me? When I come back, we can talk about. Polline’s new business,” as I said that, my son agreed, and before Hunter could object anymore, I had already started walking away. I was going to meet Samuel because he deserved to be taken care of 100,
