Chapter 129
Reyna Cruz:
“We have. We did last night. We couldn’t do it publicly because she is afraid of the pack members. Hence, I am asking you guys to protect her and keep her safe. She has left her crown, her everything for us. Even the forced mate and her kid,” I closed my eyes and turned around, clenching my jaw, I don’t know why he kept going on. But it appears that when I leave back home, I will have to call him and give him a good beating
“Don’t hurt her now. She is one of us,” he finished, and I sighed in relief. Thankfully, they didn’t ask us to show the marks or anything.
“Congratulations, the rogues began to cheer up, hugging each other, showing happiness towards their rogue king’s happiness.
I felt like this is what it would have been like if Hunter hadn’t intervened in our wedding. But why was it that I was no longer (upset about his interruption:
I had a lot of questions in my mind, and my feelings for Hunter also made me wonder if I had been truly happy with Samuel if we did go through with the wedding that day..
“Now, let’s go and attend the funeral, as Sam spoke again, I was brought out of my thoughts. I responded with a fake smile and a nod, bowing to his people while walking behind Samuel,
“We walk our way to the graveyard, and the funeral takes place there,” Samuel whispered in my car, helping me understand the way things are done here.
Thad never been a part of any funeral before. Since I had a child, I avoided going to public events with rogues. So this was honestly my first time joining a funeral parade,
“You need to give me your phone once we get back home to speak to my son,” I whispered back in his ear.
I don’t know why, but I felt like I needed to have a detailed conversation with my son and let him know what had been going on here. I planned to tell him everything, even about this lie about Samuel and me accepting each other.
“If only Hunter would pick up his call. He has me blocked on his phone and isn’t picking up other calls, Samuel reminded me of the morning. He had tried calling him so many times, but Hunter didn’t answer,
It made me a little worried. Knowing I have been here for days, I was expecting him to be attentive to his phone and expecting me to call him anytime soon.
“We will try again, and this time, we will call Mrs. Sparrow, I uttered, walking with a heavy heart. As we started to grow closer to the graveyard, memories of the time I had spent with Polline rushed through my mind.
My eyes welled up, and I sneakily tried to clean the tears.
“It’s okay to cry, Samuel commented, making me nod my head.
As we arrived, we found her coffin placed on the ground with the rogue elders standing around her. Everyone had started to cry now. It was such a great loss. She was an incredible woman and my family. The only family I had for years.
“Go ahead, Sam gently patted my arm, and I stood before everyone with tears running down my cheeks. It was a closed casket since her entire body was burned badly beyond recognition. Her face was the only thing that could be recognized, halfway.
But I didn’t want to see her like that. I wanted to have the memory of her being happy as the last time I saw her.
“This person here is not just some rogue-“I almost gasped due to the hiccups succumbing to me, “she was family. My

family. When I was kicked out of the pack, I didn’t have anywhere to go. Luckily, I found her and started living with her. It was so hard in the beginning. Being pregnant and having no idea how to survive on my own. But then one day, she came to my room with a tray of food. She was the first one to hand me her laptop to start working from home. She embraced me when nobody did. Life became so easy after her arrival. I-I stopped feeling lonely-but now she lays there”
I closed my eyes and yelped, placing my hand on my chest while tears blinded me, “she will be missed. And her killer will be soon punished,” I opened my eyes and muttered determinedly. I watched them all nod with me but what they did next had left me paralyzed.
“Yes! Punish the alpha king.”
The rogues started to chant, making me anxious. I looked over a Samuel, who quickly approached me and hunched over my ear.
“Don’t react. They think he killed her,” he whispered.
I was in disbelief at his words. I knew they thought that way, but he fact that he didn’t want me to react was just too much. They were so against Hunter now that I bet if I said I am missing Hunter, they would kill me on spot. And Sam seemed to be encouraging that behavior. I have not seen Hunter do the same for Sam and the rogues. He didn’t call out Sam before hsi pack members even when he had a battle with the rogues and Sam.
“I can’t stand here and be a part of it. Somebody has to tell them that we need to first investigate, I argued, watching him roll his eyes at me.
“Yeah, you do that, and they will bury you with Polline. You can make as many statements as you can once you are away from here. The pack members will keep you safe, then you can go ahead and say whatever you want to say. But here, you will be risking yourself. Besides, they are all silent now. Just let this get over with so that you can go home in one piece,” Sam rambled before he pulled away from me and gestured to his people to silence them.
The funeral was such a hard time to pass. I couldn’t stop crying the whole time. Everywhere I looked, I felt emptiness,
I wish you were awake and had said goodbye to Polline, I spoke to Nera, who had been sleeping for days now.I stood on the side, watching the rogues speak to their rogue king. The evening had arrived, and I just wanted to go back home so that I could leave for my own home in the morning and see my son again. This has been the longest I have stayed away from seeing my son.
After what seemed like hours, Samuel and I finally started walking back towards his castle.
“Your back must be hurting. The car is parked over there; we don’t have to walk all the way back home now,” Samuel helping me get inside the car with the guards, and him sitting in the back with me.
My back was actually killing me. I couldn’t wait to go back homeland heal there. I was mentally very bothered here. Even when I didn’t have to do anything and all I did was to rest, I didnt feel relaxed.
Once we arrived at the castle, I went into the room, and the maid came in to clean my wound. It was bad, and all that walking had left me tired.
“Goodnight,” the maid said, passing me a smile and getting ready to leave.
“May I know where Samuel is?” I inquired because I planned to use his phone to call my son one more time.
I didn’t have any battery in my phone, and Sam didn’t have the decency to get me a charger.
“I will go check on him,” she bowed down again, probably thinking I was her queen now that Samuel and I lied that we had accepted each other. After a few minutes, she returned to me and said, “Rogue king had fallen asleep. You can speak to him in the morning
“It is alright. Have a good night, I rolled my eyes at the fact that Sam went to sleep without giving me his phone to try and contact Hunter and my son but then bid goodbye to her with a smile on my lips. She closed the door behind me and left.
