I took a car and brought a guard along with me. But after the rogues attacked, and then Hunter, honestly, I didn’t even feel safe walking around the rogue community on my own two feet.
“Did anybody see you come here?” I asked Polline as she stealthily slipped inside the car.
“I hope not,” she replied. She was the one who insisted on tagging along after I told her that I was going to meet up with Samuel. I guess she was afraid of his outburst after she watched him basically trying to force a mark on me.
“We need to be careful, Polline. I don’t know why you insisted on coming when I had a guard with me.” I said, honestly worried for her. Seeing her associate with me could land her in trouble.
“I’m fine,” she rolled her eyes, “besides, I don’t think a single guarii can take care of a rogue king “
“That reminds me of the battle they had the other day. Hunter is in a very bad state.” I closed my eyes as his face flashed before my memory.
“I can tell you are worried for him. But if Hunter is in that state. Samuel must be in an even worse condition,” Polline shook her head in disbelief towards the two werewolves who didn’t know how to control their emotions.
“Hunter told me he had messed up Sam but then he said that Sam healed. I remembered.
Hmm. but Sam told you that’s a lie and that he is alone and not seeking help, it was like the two of us were going over the
facts.
“I guess I will take care of Sam today and then convince him to let you come by every day, I said and she nodded. That will help her with her reputation among the rogues as well. If they saw her associate with Samuel, they would not dare to harm
her
“Tara had been acting up. It is like I can’t catch a break. The minute I leave Turner alone, she appears out of nowhere and tries her best to hurt him. I sighed as I looked outside the window and missed the peaceful days of my life.
“It’s also worrisome that Hunter is keeping her around still. Even after so much?” Polline shook her head in disapproval.
“There it is, I pointed at the big gate which led us in after they saw me. There were rogue guards outside the gate, making sure the werewolves living in the gated community were safe.
“He lives in a gated community?” even Polline was shocked.
“It’s like having a pack,” she added.
“That’s his castle, it’s very old, like ancient times. There are so many rooms and the stairs, don’t even get me started on that,” I rolled my eyes, but found her lost in her thoughts. I guess you have seen that castle before,” she stroked her chin, then shrugged and followed me.
Together we reached the main gate, and I recognized the guard outside, the old man I had met before. He granted me a smile, and then, without asking any questions, he opened the gate for me.
I hadn’t even told Sam that I was stopping by after he hung up the call and didn’t pick up any of my calls again. I thought it would be much nicer to just show up at his door.
1 led Polline to the living room where I didn’t expect to find Sam In my mind, he must be in his bed, all wounded and miserable. But the sight was far from what I had expected to see. He was sitting on the couch, perfectly fine and watching
TV.

1 noticed Polline gently rub my elbow from the back because she too noticed what I did.
“You said you were injured,” as soon as I barked from afar, he shook his head and looked in my direction.
He seemed shocked at first and even got off the couch in haste. He had food on the table that was freshly served for him, a wine bottle that he had been chugging from, and overall, he seemed okay.
So what Hunter said was the truth, and Sam lied to me.
“Reynal I didn’t know you were coming,” he muttered, fixing his shirt over his shorts.
“You told me you were injured. I repeated myself, feeling heated at the fact that he was making me sneak out of the mansion at night because he claimed he was in pain.
So you’re upset that I’m not in a messed-up state?” he frowned, not seeming guilty that he got caught in a lie.
“Samuel,” I grunted and briskly made my way to him.
“Fine, I lied, and I’m a horrible person for it. I’m so horrible that felt like that was my only way to get your attention or to make you at least come have a talk with me, he yelled and stepped back from me. I stopped near the couch and found Polline coming between us, even when we weren’t trying to get to each other.
Do I not deserve any explanation? Am I that low life and of no importance that you just up and left me?” I could tell he had so many bottled-up emotions that he had been waiting to tell me about.
“Why don’t you two sit down and talk? Polline insisted, and after noticing the tears in Sam’s eyes, I felt like he was not wrong. I would have been so hurt if somebody left me on my wedding day like that.
1 sighed and sat down while he paced around for a few seconds before he took a seat.
“Where is the kitchen? I will go warm up this soup I have made for you. Polline asked Sam, who pointed to a faraway corner
for her.
“I have brought pasta too,” she added before quickly running away to give us some space.
It was so awkward sitting before him while I am now marked by Hunter.
“Tam sorry, I started. “I know no matter how many times I say that, I will still never be able to make up for it, but I just want to tell you that I wasn’t given a chance to speak to you first.”
I watched him lower his head and nod, all the while running his hand through his hair to steady himself down.
“So then what is the plan now?” he grunted in a heavy voice, raising his head to stare at me.
“Plan” I gulped, wondering what he meant by that exactly.
“How are we going to free you from Hunter’s grasp and bring you back to freedom? Don’t you want to be free?” he asked as he stared into my eyes bluntly.
I found it hard to respond because initially, even I thought I would focus on getting away from Hunter. But I wasn’t too sure. even when I was mad at Hunter, there was something about hirm that prevented me from leaving him.
“Samuel, my son is not safe there,” as I started saying that, he narrowed his eyes at me.
“So you plan to live with him, forever?” the frown on his forehead alarmed me.
“Sam-1 hadn’t even finished when he added, “Just so you know, your beloved alpha king killed my people who came to stop the fight the other day.”

His words made me squint my eyes at him. “They attacked him, since I had heard it from Hunter, I decided to let him know that I knew the whole story.
“You did? Well, did you know that he is good at lying? Why don’t you go ask him why he attacked my people when they came to stop the fight! Do you think twelve-year-olds would have come to attack him?” his eyes shone with tears of anger, but it was the statement he passed that covered my skin in goosebumps.
“Twelve years old?” I questioned.
Let me show you something, he suddenly grasped my arm and made me sit up, dragging me to the exit.
“Where are we headed?” I asked anxiously and looked behind to see if Polline was following us. Sadly, she was in the kitchen so there was no way she could hear us leave.
“Why, are you, a mortal being marked by him and going back home with me but leaving with me is scary to me?” he questioned as he opened the passenger side door to his vehicle.
He was now watching me and waiting for me to make a decision. With much confidence and trust in him, I slid inside the
He sat down and started driving to somewhere unknown. I was worried but didn’t utter a single word throughout the ride. Polline did call me once, and Sam let me speak to her. As I assured I wasn’t getting abducted.
Even the fact that I was a tad bit worried about that made me feel disgusted with myself, Sam had been nothing but kind to me. However, he then took a turn to the woods, and anxiety started to settle in on me..
