Chapter 112
Reyna Cruz:
I was driving back home now, with so many thoughts and concerns swirling in my mind. Sam had leveled some serious allegations against Hunter. If they turned out to be true, I would be devastated.
Once I arrived home, I headed straight to Turner’s room.
“He’s fine now,” Mrs. Sparrow quickly got up when she saw me and motioned for me to not wake him up. I am sure he must have been devastated too.
“Has he been crying a lot?” I asked, sniffing myself. Losing Polline had left me deeply wounded. She was the only person who stood beside me and supported me when I had no chance of surviving on my own. Now, losing her because of the decision I made has shattered my heart.
“He’s been missing her a lot. So, I promised him we’d go to her funeral. How are you? Your eyes are so swollen,” Mrs. Sparrow said, looking at my face with a sad expression.
How do I tell her that I didn’t just cry because I lost Polline, but also because my decision might have been so wrong that I might be the reason all this happened?
“Tm okay, I guess,” I uttered, “where is Hunter?” I inquired, and even mentioning his name brought back the memory of the accusations Sam had leveled against him.
He’s resting in his room, she said.
Tll go speak to him then,” I said and walked out of Turner’s room after planting a kiss on his forehead.
As I entered the bedroom, I found Hunter sitting by the fireplace, his head down and his elbows resting on his thighs.
“Did you get to see her?” Hunter didn’t even raise his head when he questioned me.
“No! Her body was badly burned, I placed the purse down and rubbed my face in my hands.
“I want to attend her funeral,” I mumbled under my breath, taking deep breaths as I didn’t know how long I could stop myself from bombarding him with questions.
“Sure, we can hold her funeral in the pack and maybe lay her to rest in the royal cemetery,” Hunter added, straightening his back in the chair and then turning his head to look at me when I didn’t respond to him for a while.
“What?” he raised his brow, probably wondering why I was staring at him like that
“Do you think that will be enough to rest her in peace?” I questioned, and his eyes narrowed in my face.
“Hunter-I need to ask you something.” I gulped as I began to feel agitation in my nerves. I bet he knew it was serious because he didn’t intervene.
“Did you vandalize my house?” I whispered, barely audible.
“What?” he retorted.
“Was it you that got my home vandalized?” I asked him directly once again, but this time, I kept my voice loud so that he could hear it and answer me without any deceptions.
“Reyna! You think I am capable of doing something like that?” he suddenly got out of the chair and tried to come close, but when I stepped back, he understood that I wasn’t playing around. I was serious.

Chapter 112
“You are accusing me he frowned, the gasp in his voice was evidence that he was as surprised as I was when I first heardd Sam accuse him of being the que who was constantly trying to make the rogue community look unsafe.
“Hunter—I just want to know,” I closed my eyes because why would he ever admit he did it?
“Where is Terrin?” But the moment I opened my eyes and asked for that specific guard, I saw the furrows on his forehead. clear as the look of shock covered his face.
“Why? Why are you asking for him?” A little hint of unease in his voice sent shivers down my spine.
He is the one you asked to do the dirty job, didn’t you?” I whispered and noticed him shaking his head,
“No!” he muttered.
“I will go talk to him myself then, I turned around, but before I could get past the door, I felt a hard grasp holding my arm. and pulling me back.
“Why are you doing this?” he yelled in my face, catching me off guard.
“I just want to know, did you or did you not send your guard for his job?” I yelled too, and after staring at my face while clenching his jaw, he finally set me free and grunted.
“Fine, I did it. I told my guard to do that, but I didn’t do it to freak you out, as he grasped my arm, shook my body, but also confirmed what Sam said was true, I yelped and pushed him away from me.
“I freaking freaked out, Hunter!” I yelled, and he went silent for moment before he quickly approached me again.
“I 1: I just wanted you to be cautious of the rogue community, and knew if I had told you upfront to stop visiting the rogue community, you would have never listened to me, he began to explain, and now he didn’t look too cocky either. I bet seeing my reaction gave him the hint that I wasn’t thankful for him for caring me like he probably thought I would be.
“By scaring me?” I yelled, “tell me something” my heart pounding so hard that I couldn’t focus on how loud I had been.
“Reyna! You are grieving. We will talk about it sometime later, be insisted as he held my hand to pull me closer for a hug.
A comforting hug after I found out that I could no longer trust anyone.
“No! We are talking now.” I muttered, wiping the tears from my cheeks with the back of my hands.
“Tell me what happened the other day when you and Samuel fought? Why did you freaking kill his people?” I screa the top of my lungs.
The door to our bedroom opened, and Mrs. Sparrow ran inside
“What is going on? Are you two okay?” she asked her son, but Hunter was focusing on my question.
“I told you, they attacked me,” he responded.
The twelve-year-olds and even younger children too?” I watched him narrow his eyes at me and then shake his head to dismiss the accusations.
“None of them were teens, Reyna. What are you accusing me of he raised his voice until his mother nudged him.
“You two should calm down first,” she said, not raising her voice, but we were ignoring her.
“Oh really? As if the stuff I accused you of before was a lie,” I scoffed, laughing while tears of anger and betrayal ran down my
cheeks.
I thought he was being honest with me. After how we connected in his sicknesst
