Alpha Hunter

Chapter 128

Chapter 128 Reyna Cruz: I couldn’t sleep the whole night. The next day was the day when I was going to attend the funeral, but before that, we had to come up with a lie so that the rogues wouldn’t go crazy seeing me in public. All these days that I have been here, I have felt very empty inside. “Wear this,” Samuel entered the room without raising his head to meet my gaze. He was holding a new black dress and accessories. I couldn’t believe we grew apart so much after living together under the same roof for only a few days. I do feel guilty for being the one who ruined our relationship first after I chose Hunter on our wedding day. If someone had done that to me, I would have never forgiven them. Which is why I kind of understood Sam’s anger and frustration. “Thank you.” I replied, taking the stuff from him. I had already showered but couldn’t bandage my wounds, no matter how much I tried. The wound was still bad, not healing on its own. “I can send someone to help you with it, he gestured towards the aid box, and I nodded at him. Soon he left, and a maid walked in who helped bandage my back. “That must hurt a lot,” she uttered. She was young and beautiful, but I had not seen her here before when I visited his castle for our date. “It does, but I will be fine soon,” I replied and smiled. “I do hope so too,” she was very gentle with her touch and her tone. “Take care of yourself please.” She grabbed the box and started walking towards the exit. After she left, I put on the dress and braided my hair loosely. I was slightly concerned about being out in public when everyone in the community hated me. These people were full of negativity. But what surprised me was the fact that Samuel would still not call them out. He was quick to judge the pack members, but his rogues were the ones who had been attacking us so far.

‘Nera! Have you woken up?” I asked her, worried because she had been gone for some time now. I needed her. Even if she i in a weak state, it would be nice to have her with me just in case I would feel completely helpless without her. But sadly, she was not present once again. After about an hour of preparation for the funeral, Samuel came in to fetch me in a black suit. As soon as he stepped inside, he froze like he had seen a ghost. His eyes were fixed on me, making me a little self-conscious. “What? Should I leave my hair open?” I asked, wondering if I looked weird. “No! That braid looks good on you,” he commented and instantly looked down. So many arguments have happened between us that I’m not even sure if after I leave tomorrow, I will ever be in contact with him again. Even if Hunter is found guilty of those accusations, I might not return to Samuel. “Let’s go. I have to do some damage control in order to let you be a part of this funeral,” he said, making me follow him. But right when we were at the exit, he stopped me and started pacing around anxiously. “What’s going on?” I inquired in confusion. I was no fool to his anxiety. He had been on edge since morning. And I believe it was because he had to walk me among the crowd of angry rogues today. 1/3 Chapter 128 “So, I have decided that I will tell them that you have come here he took a pause, making me narrow my eyes at him. “to-be with me.” As he finished, I shook my head instantly. “I don’t think it will be a good idea,” I commented. “That is the only way. They need to know you are on our side or else they would not let you see or be near Polline’s grave.” he replied, shoving his hands in his pants’ pockets. “But–then when they find out I didn’t do that and that I left you again, won’t they hate me even more? They will think I played you again and then their hatred will reach a new level.” I knew I was not wrong. The fear of what they might do came from the fact that they were already

angry with me for running away from our wedding. “That won’t be necessary because I have thought about it as well, he uttered, slightly looking down and moving his shoe on the floor. “What? What have you planned?” I questioned, watching him take a deep breath and then nod his head to himself. understanding that it is the only way to go about this, “Reyna! I think it is about time that we do something about this mate bond. It has been clear to me that you are never going to pick me. And I don’t want to force you either ever. So, after the humeral is done and we are home, I will call in a meeting in the morning and reject you in front of my rogues. So, this time, I will be the one who pushed you away and they didn’t have to come at you,” he sighed as if it was something hard for him to do. 1 stayed silent as the memories of us being together before played in my mind. It was indeed odd that we have grown apart now. I remember we used to be so much attracted to each other until Hunter came between us. “Hmm alright,” the minute I agreed without showing any resistance, he raised his head and our eyes met. I was shocked to see tears in his eyes. He seemed so hurt, and I felt so guilty. “Sam” before I could comfort him, he showed me his palm and opened the door. “We should really go,” his voice had lost the power and commandment it once used to have. And somehow, I was the reason that happened. I walked after him, and as expected, the rogues had gathered around and were waiting for their rogue king to join them. They would go together to the funeral. But seeing me turned their moods bitter. Some of them started pointing in my direction and whispering to each other. “Everyone!” Samuel stood tall, getting their attention. They all fell silent at once and looked over at him. “The last few weeks have been very hard for us. We have lost many loved ones and even today, we are attending the funeral of an amazing soul who had worked hard to make life easier for the rogues

who didn’t know where to start from after being kicked out of their packs. Polline meant a lot to all of us, and she had really done a lot for all of us, I know we all want justice, but pointing your arrows at someone innocent is not the right way about it,” he stated loudly and then turned to me when talking about the innocent victim. “Trust me, if she could, she would have punished Polline’s murderer herself. There are just a few things that even she cannot do anything about. But her presence here has also disturbed you all. Some of you even think she is a spy here. But today I am here to tell you that all of you are wrong, Samuel pulled his hand out for me, and after gulping down the fear, I accepted 2/3 Chapter 128- May his hand and drew closer to him. I watched the rogues look at us in shock and then talk in whispers once again. 62% “Reyna has chosen me,” he said, and my heart sank in my chest. Even watching them look at us and the announcement itself was shocking “Is it true?” someone from the crowd asked, and Samuel nodded with a smile on his lips. “Reyna had been forcefully marked by Hunter. She didn’t have choice. But now that she is out of there, she has chosen me. and we have decided to stick together and punish Hunter, he kept going on and on, and I was feeling uncomfortable now. “That will be enough, I whispered into Samuel’s ears, and he laughed as if I told him a joke. I too smiled because of how odd 1 felt with everyone watching us. “Have you two marked each other?” one of the rogues asked, and my heart started to race What if they asked us to mark each other in front of them? 川 NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
