Chapter 83
Reyna Cruz:
I was escorted to a room by Mrs. Sparrow when Tara started throwing a tantrum. I wasn’t expecting Hunter’s mom to be so welcoming, or at least not yell at me. With her history with me, I thought she would lose her mind when watching me come back home.
“If you need anything, ask me. I will make sure your comfort is the priority here,” Mrs. Sparrow said while rubbing her hands anxiously, but more like with a smile on her face.
It was actually Hunter’s bedroom where she had brought me. The bedroom we used to share before our marriage fell apart.
“Grandma, is Tara going to hurt us now?” my son asked with a sad pout on his face.
“She will not dare do that here. This is your father’s house and now yours too,” Mrs. Sparrow lovingly ran her hand through my son’s hair before raising her eyes to look at me.
“Why don’t you go wash your face and change into something comfortable from your previous room?” she asked Turner, who nodded excitedly.
“I will freshen up quickly.” Turner uttered.
trust Tara. She could
As he left the room, I instantly reached the door to make sure I saw him get to the room safely. I didn’t tr be just waiting for any of us to leave the room so that she can attack us.
Now that I was here, I was beginning to wonder how right I was to not let Turner alone with that evil witch. The way she began to cuss and act crazy in my presence was enough evidence that she would have done the same when finding out that Turner will be living with his father from now on.
“I know I have no right to even ask you anything, but I want to know what happened. I know for a fact that you were happy for that wedding, so what happened?” She started talking in a nervous tone, giving me the idea that she knew something happened at the wedding and that I didn’t just make a decision to cancel my wedding with Sam and accept Hunter out of nowhere.
Ask me directly what you want to know,” I said, sitting down on the bed with my gown still on.
“Did my son do something?” she questioned, and I laughed. Her face turned paler as I bit my bottom lip and shook my head at her sarcastically.
“You know your son too well,” my comment made her eyes go wild. “He did. Your son blackmailed me into marrying him. I was all set to leave the hotel room to walk down the aisle and meet my second chance mate at the altar when your son appeared with a notice from the council. He told me he is taking away my son from me unless I let him mark me, and I did,” I shrugged, “because I love my son, and your son used that against me.”
I watched her go through several emotions in those few moments when I told her what her son was capable of.
“I am so sorry. I never knew he would stoop so low. I thought he was making threats while being drunk and would not act on them,” she uttered in a guilty tone. I wondered what happened to her. How did she go from hating me to feeling sorry for
me.
“It is just that after you left–he changed. I miss that Hunter from years ago. Your betrayal really messed him up, Reyna,” as she brought up the past again, I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
“I didn’t leave; I was kicked out, and I never betrayed him. I was framed by Tara,” I said her name confidently because I am sure she was behind it.
“Tara?” Mrs. Sparrow frowned, almost like she was in the process of trying to understand the whole situation when the door

opened, and in came Hunter with Turner.
I quickly stood up from the bed and straightened my back.
“So what is going to happen now? Is Tara leaving now, or will she leave in the morning” I was stunned to see Mrs. Sparrow wanting Tara gone so eagerly. It reminded me of the time when she wanted me gone. Even when Tara was the evilest person I have known, I didn’t expect any better treatment from Mrs. Sparrow, even if Tara was a better mate. So typical of her.
“She is staying in the guest room for the night. The gammas have to give her wolfbane to calm her down.” Hunter sighed tiredly. But all this stress was brought into his life by himself only. He could not act like he was a victim when he was the sole reason why everything got messed up.
as still
“You should go rest too. It is late. Hunter told his mother, who was watching his face because obviously she was confused about what happened to him
“Okay, I will see you guys in the morning then even when Mrs. Sparrow was shocked, she looked pretty intrigued and excited to have us back
As she left. Hunter smiled at Turner and raised his brow
“Aren’t you going to bed too!” Hunter placed his hands on his waist to question Turner, who copied his gestures and stared back at his father.
“You have to tuck me in bed, mister.” Turner responded. Although I hated every second of being in this mansion, I couldn’t help but smile at my son’s interaction with his father. I have actually not seen them talk so freely before.
“Okay, but then you are going to bed.” Hunter told Turner to go to his bedroom I stood up in panic. I was now realizing what he was doing. Hunter spared me a glance, but then he closed the door and len after Turner.
I reached the door and swirled the doorknob, but only to find it locked from the outside.
“What the heck Are we his captives now? I began to lose my mind. grunting at the fact that he knew I would leave the room once my son leaves.
“We need to calm down first and ask him why the heck he forced us to marry him? Nera was right. I had so much going on that I needed to make sure I don’t panic and get answers from him
After about fifteen minutes, he returned to the room. As I heard the door open. I got up from the couch and stood facing the door. He walked inside and was in the process of taking off his coat when he stared at me and then walked past me as if I was
invisible.
“Why did you do all that?” I asked, watching him get to the closer.
“Do what? Give you a home and let you stay with my son?” he stated, and it irked me.
“Excuse you! He is my son too, and I do have a home.” I didn’t get what he was trying to do at this point.
“Oh! But I remember you used to mention Turner as your son only when he was in your custody.” Hunter pretended to brainstorm, and I knew he was getting back at me for all the times I didn’t mention him as Turner’s father.
“Why did you marry me? I am sure you still believe that I betrayed you in the past,” I insisted on knowing in a much harsher
tone this time..
He finally stopped taking out boxers and a shirt for the night and turned around to face me.
“You really thought I would let you marry a rogue king and start a better life after you ruined mine? You thought you take my son and go start a new family?” The bitterness in his voice began to make me understand I was right. It was his twisted way of punishing me.

“Okay” I get it now. Your wanted me to suffer. You couldn’t watch me be happy with someone. So you made sure you marry me so that I don’t get my happy ending.” I watched his frown grow bigger when I talked about marrying him being a punishment
