Chapter 76
Reyna Cruz:
“Hunter? Why are you here?” I wasted no time before questioning his unexpected arrival. He arrived in a sleek black suit, leaving me to wonder if Samuel had invited him. But why didn’t he follow the theme if he did come here for the wedding?
“I needed to see you,” he replied, making me observe the red roses bouquet he had placed elegantly on the table.
“Why? I don’t think you should be here,” I uttered under my breath, worried about Samuel discovering him in the room with me. It would be heartbreaking for him to catch his bride-to-be with her ex in the hotel room. He would expect me to
kick Hunter out.
“Why I think I’m at the right place, Hunter’s tone changed as he smirked sarcastically. I suddenly recalled the threat he had made to me the night before.
“Hunter! I don’t know whatever games you’re playing now, but just know that our son will be very upset if he finds out that you are causing issues for his mother on her wedding day,” I munered as 1 watched him stroll around and then finally look
my way.
“I am not doing anyone dirty. Besides, are you threatening me over our son?” he squinted his eyes, trying to trick me.
“Hunter! Please leave,” I pointed my arm at the door, urging him to go.
“Fine, he sighed and rolled his eyes. As he began to walk towards the door, I felt a sense of ease until he stopped suddenly and looked around to face me again.
“But I have to give you the big gift,” he uttered, and a frown tightened over my forehead.
“I don’t need your gifts,” I said, folding my arms over my chest.
“Don’t be so harsh on yourself. I think you deserve a gift for finally finding your happiness, the mocking tone he used gave me a bad impression. I wanted to open the door and call for Polline, but before I could even move a muscle, he began to walk my way.
“What are you doing?” I raised my head and gasped; he stopped fight when he was a foot away from me.
“I want to see your reaction to the gift,” he added, and I sighed. At this point, I could tell that, no matter what I say, he wasn’t going to listen to me. So, I needed him to get over the gift thing and leave.
“Fine. Tell me what you have for me,” I rolled my eyes, shaking my head in disbelief that he was making me do that.
*Hmm! I have decided to give you the gift of privacy,” he mumbled. I could tell he was seriously waiting for my reaction. But I couldn’t even react because I was confused.
“So you are finally going to leave me alone?” I frowned, tilting my head, thinking this is what he might have meant.
He let out a chuckle and shook his head, but it was obvious that he didn’t like me even asking him that question.
“You really want to be left alone so that you can enjoy your perfect new life with our perfect rogue king, don’t you?” And then, with that, his voice turned bitter, and the smirk faded away from his face.
“Hunter! Tell me what is going on?” I asked again because he was beginning to give me creeps down my spine.
I am taking away Turner from you,” he stated, and for a moment, I just stood frozen, staring at his face.
“You are taking him away for the four days? Do you not remember how he didn’t want to go back to your mansion again?” I almost raised my voice at him in disbelief and disapproval. How could he take his anger out on me by taking him back to

“No!” Hunter shook his head, and my heart sank again because he had other plans this time. “I am taking him away forever.”
My body not only froze, but I felt like he had sucked all my energy out of my body.
“No! You are lying. You are only saying this because you don’t want me to be happy on my wedding day,” I smiled angrily, understanding he was playing a sick game with me.
“This is the notice from the council. They have decided that I take full custody of my son, he then pulled out a piece of paper and held it out for me.
1 glared at his face for a few minutes before I snatched the paper out of his hands and started reading it. I had to constantly rub my eyes to clear them from the tears.
“This is ridiculous,” I yelled, waving the paper in my hand. “This is unfair. They can’t do this to me.” I yelled as I crumbled
paper
and threw it at Hunter, but he didn’t take any offense because he knew he had won.

“How could you do this to your son? He doesn’t want to live with you, I screamed and lunged at him, putting my hands on his collars and shaking him.
“I am doing him a favor. You will be busy with Samuel. Besides, he is my son too. Why would I not want full custody of him?” Hunter didn’t even bother trying to free himself from my grasp.
“No! I won’t let you do this to me,” I yelled, tearing up.
“It is done now. As for Turner, he will have to understand, and I am sure he would once I take him back home and treat him well,” he kept going despite the tears running down my cheeks. I bet he was finding sadistic pleasure in my pain.
“No! Hunter!” As he attempted to walk away, I didn’t release his collar and made him look back at me.
“Please! Don’t do this to me. I can’t live without him, and he can’t live there. He is petrified,” I began to cry before him, just like I had many years ago.
He was still the same cold-hearted alpha king as he was years ago
“Reyna! The minute this wedding is done, I am taking him away, unless–” he paused, and my heart began to pound louder in my chest once again.
“Unless what?” I inquired with trembling in my voice.
“Unless you cancel this wedding.” as he said his terms, a yelp escaped my lips.
