Chapter 142
Reyna Cruz:
Once the guard had departed, I descended the stairs and switched off the fan to have a word with the couple.
“Hey, it’s me again, I said, curious about the conversation inside, as I could hear them talking once the fan was off. They fell silent only after they noticed the fan had stopped.
“Reyna Mrs. Holland exclaimed upon hearing my name, and I sighed.
“Yeah, still here, trapped. I’ve decided to stay,” I muttered softly.
“Why? Don’t you want to return to your mate? Your kid?” she questioned, weirding me out with her strange line of inquiry.
“No.” I shook my head, but before she could respond, I added, “I will stay here and make sure I bloody well take Samuel down for all the crimes he’s committed,”
As soon as they heard me, they fell silent until I heard another voice from the side of the room, shaking the world beneath my feet.
“I was right. She would never do that to me or her kid.”
“Hunter?”
Panic surged through my veins, and I began to knock on the other door aggressively.
“Hunter? Are you in here?” I banged on the door, calling out for him, and then he answered ever so softly.
“My Reyna!”
I stopped banging and rested my forehead against the door, softly sobbing. Previously, I might have argued with him, rolled my eyes, or even told him that I am not his, but things have changed. Only I knew how much I had missed him in these few days. Even though it was only a few days, it felt like an eternity.
“He didn’t hurt you, right?” he continued to speak, probably certain that I was still outside, just silent?
“I am fine,” I responded meekly, feeling like I had heard the best thing in the world after so many days.
knew you didn’t choose him, he spoke so gently that I couldn’t help but close my eyes, imagining him in front of me. His face flashed before my eyes, and a smile covered my l*ps.
Hunter! You didn’t doubt me even for a second that I had left you?” I was shocked to hear that even after he must have seen the
interview plastered everywhere on the internet, he didn’t believe that I could leave him and my son.
“No! I knew from the smile that you were faking it.”
I smiled at his words,
“Can I say something?” I mumbled.

Chapter 142.
“You can say anything you want,” he replied, and I clutched my heart in my hand.
“I have missed you. I pressed my l*ps into a tight line when I heard him yelp from the other side Was it really that shocking for him that I would confess (17
“You did?” the shock in his voice melted my heart.
1 did. But tell me what had been going on? Why did you block Samuel’s number? I was waiting for you to come for me,” I gently punched the door and pouted as I complained.
“Reynal I did everything I could to contact you, but Samuel would not answer my calls. I even tried coming to you, but my wolf–my wolf hadn’t woken up yet, as he said that, I understood he had been given the same poison that I had in my veins now.
“Oh! I need to tell you something then, I knew time was of the essence because soon the guard would return, and after that, Sam would come home. I didn’t know what he had been planning the whole day, so I needed to be prepared for that as well.
After I told him all that I went through here and how Samuel had trapped me, I began to tell him what the rogue king had revealed about Samuel I even let him know that it was Samuel who tried to kill her son.
After that. Hunter lost it. He was angry, and rightfully so. But what irked me the most was that Samuel stole my phone and used it to lure Hunter here.
Of course, he hid it from me. But what was he planning to do to Hunter?
“It’s nice hearing you talk things out. But I have to be the person who ruins your peace when I tell you that Samuel is not going to let Hunter walk out alive, the rogue king, who patiently let us talk, uttered, and my heart sank in my chest.
“The only one dying will be him,” Hunter hissed.
“But he has our kids. We don’t want him to die without telling us anything about our kids, Mrs. Holland quickly chimed in to remind us we can’t just forget about her kids.
“I think I know where the kids might be,” Jeffrey, who had been silent and groaning in pain, spoke up. I hadn’t focused on him so far because I had my own suspicions on him as well.
“You do?” Hunter asked in confusion.
“Remember when you told me to tail Samuel and Reyna around? I found Samuel going to a small cabin with some food items, and I saw two young kids in that cabin: I didn’t think too much before, but now I think I know who they were, Jeffrey explained, giving us hope that the kids were still alive.
“So what’s the plan now?” the rogue king asked.
“I think I know what to do,” I said determinedly, sharing my plan with them.
“But how are we going to do that?” Hunter questioned, I could tell he was on the verge of losing his mind, I was angry too, but we needed to be discreet, or else we would lose this battle miserably. Samuel was someone who didn’t care about anyone but what he wanted. And while I was one of his desires, his enemies were who I desired.
“Tell n
me, Bo
Rogue king, how far can you reach the door?” I asked, getting anxious now that I was beginning to realize we had delayed

the main mission a lot. Thankfully, the main gate was open today so I could see the two doors. I guess the guard was called by me in the middle of doing something.
“I can reach the door, and I am guessing you
sing you are standing right outside
side our door today,” he said.
“Okay! Can you touch the healing herb? I mean, like grab it?” I questioned.
“Yeah, we
take care of it every day. but even if we consume it, it will be of no use since we are in silver chains,” he replied.
“Hmm!” I felt like we were stuck again.
*There is a window that opens to
o the other room,” his queen spoke up.
“Then can
you toss it over the other room?” I inquired.
“Yeah, but they are also in silver shackles, so it will be meaningless,” the rogue king replied, and I slammed my forehead against the door, feeling helpless until I heard the shackles move from Hunter’s room.
“Not anymore,” I heard from Hunter.
“I had some knives in my belt. If I can get the healing herb, I can heal, but what is next? This place is all silver, and I don’t think he is coming back to even see us again,” Hunter was not wrong. Why would Samuel come to visit them again unless he is given a motive?
“Do one thing, try to get the herb and heal. And Hunter, you have the knives so you can open the door, right? Try doing that and then hide in the Rogue king’s room,” I didn’t even have to explain it further to Hunter, he knew what he had to do. I knew he was not some
amateur.
But in that moment, I realized I had to go back upstairs as the guards might be on their way to the castle already.
