Chapter 84
Reyna Cruz:
He didn’t speak to me afterward and didn’t even ask me how I was doing, wearing that big gown and trying to adjust my body on that couch. My gown only had straps, so my shoulders were freezing too. He had changed into his regular comfortable clothes and had laid down in the bed. I began to wonder if he ever even shared the bedroom with Tara because there seemed to be no trace of her.
1 do remember Polline telling me that the two slept in two different bedrooms. So why did she stay with him for so long when he never gave her a place in his heart or bedroom?
“He is so annoying. I grunted to my wolf, who had been very lost ever since she couldn’t mark the mate she had felt the mate bond with but was now stuck because there was another person whom we didn’t get to mark yet still felt the mate bond with. I wondered if Samuel got to eat something or if he actually was able to close his eyes and sleep for a bit. Ugh! It was all so
Wrong
“Ugh!” I grunted, sitting up with that cushion under my head kept slipping, and the lack of a blanket had made me restless. I watched Hunter sleep peacefully, and that blew my mind.
“Da*n your I grunted at him and then got up from the couch.
“You are not treating me like that, I realized I was not at fault, so why was I letting him mistreat me?
I reached the bed and grabbed a pillow when suddenly, Hunter grabbed it from the other side with his eyes closed.
“Let go, I hissed, and he finally opened his eyes. So he wasn’t sleeping as well?
“This is my pillow,” he hissed like a child would.
“Hunter! You have barged into my life, and you want me to ask for your permission before taking your pillow? I muttered. pulling the pillow to my side. I was annoyed and badly restless. With how he made me look like an evil person and made me lose two people in my life, he had the nerve to leave me on the couch like a heartless person.
“This is just the pillow. Let it go because 1 am coming for the blanket next,” I yelled, and that’s when that evil genius shrugged and let it go. My body flung beyond notice, and the next thing I knew. I was on the floor with a thud.
“Ouch!” as I winced, I heard him jump out of the bed to see what he did.
I wasn’t that hurt, but I was so annoyed that I started wailing. I guess I wanted a reason to shed some tears.
“Hey!” The concern in his voice met with a scrutiny from me as lifted my head and glared at him.
“What ‘hey? Can’t you see what you did?” I raised my voice, sobbing in the middle.
“I didn’t know you would fall down like that, he grimaced, kneeling in front of me to check on me.
“Don’t f*cking touch me, once I saw his hand move toward my face. I yelled, and he pulled his hand back.
“Keep your voice down,” he hissed. “You’re fine. You’re just doing this to make me feel guilty, he muttered back in a hushed
Jone
“Really? Do you feel guilty? Wow! What a surprise,” I taunted, shaking my head at him.
“Okay, you’re absolutely fine. You just want to get under my nerves and nothing else, as he began to get up to go back to his bed. I got up before him in haste and pushed him aside, landing in the bed.
“What are you doing?” he frowned.

Chapter 84
“I am not sleeping on that couch, I hissed. It was my way of taking my power back. If he thought he would tame me accordingly and make me suffer, then he was wrong. He had done enough, and now I will make him realize what suffering means, even if it was as simple as stealing his bed.
“Get out of bed. I cannot fit on that couch.” he continued to talk, making me roll my eyes, and then slowly slid under the blanket. Da*n, his bed was so comfortable.
“Reyna!” he muttered, as if he was giving me a moment to rethink my actions.
“You brought me here; you should tolerate me now, I uttered and closed my eyes, hugging the other pillow that I once tried
to steal from him.
“Fine. Then I will go to sleep in Tara’s room. I don’t know where he got the idea that I would be jealous, but the moment of the night was when I responded to him in a way that he had not expected.
“Good. Good night!” I had my eyes closed, but I swear I could tell he didn’t move a muscle. And then I opened my eyes and raised my brow at him. He was just staring at me.
“So, it doesn’t bother you if I go sleep with her?” he asked in a much more sobering tone.
“No, Hunter! I am over you long ago. I don’t care who you f*ck or who you sleep with Just go and leave me in peace,” 1 rested my head again while his harsh stare had faded away.
“Good night,” he uttered and then went over to the couch instead of going to Tara’s room like he had claimed.
I am now beginning to understand that he wants to punish me in every possible way. So I needed to act wisely and not let any of his efforts work on me.
I eventually fell asleep because I had been exhausted. My mind kept reverting to Samuel, and I couldn’t help but have dreams about him: in my dreams, 1 found him lost. And no matter how much I tried to look for him, I couldn’t find him. He had gone off the radar because of me.
I woke up to someone running their fingers through my hair. It took me a moment to respond, but when I remembered 1 had slept in Hunter’s bed, I opened my eyes and jolted myself awake as if I were ready to throw hands.
I’m sorry, did I scare you, Mommy?” Turner seemed so shocked at my response that he held his hands up in defense.
“Oh!” I smiled, realizing it
< Turner. “I was having a nightmare
I had to act cool, or else he would understand that I thought his jerk father was touching me.
“Really? What was the nightmare about?” and then I heard him talk from near the mirror. He was getting ready in the mirror with the biggest smirk on his lips. Oh, he knew why I woke up like a ninja.
“Mommy! Grandma brought you a dress so that you can change quickly and join us,” Turner said excitedly.
“You’ve showered already?” I was shocked to see Turner look so proper already.
“Yeah, Grandma took care of me. Now come on, get ready and join us for breakfast,” Turner held my hand to drag me up. I giggled and got out of bed, almost throwing a taunting stare at Hunter before grabbing the black dress and heading to the
bathroom.
After I showered, I walked out to the empty bedroom to fix my hair and left the room to find everyone. They were having breakfast in the garden. So by the time I arrived, I found Turner and Hunter sitting together while Mrs. Sparrow was sitting across from them and watching them with a smile on her lips.
“Good morning,” she looked over at me and greeted me. I couldn’t help but ask myself, why couldn’t she be that nice back when we were together? She never left a chance to ruin our marriage.
