Alpha Hunter novel (Rayna and Hunter)

Chapter 64

Reyna Cruz:

"I am so happy tonight." This was the second time my son had cheered since we all sat together at the same table. In fact, it's only been five minutes since we shifted. Turner made sure to sit between me and Hunter, with Tara on Hunter's left and Sam on my right.

Tara had been staring at my face as if she was waiting for everyone to settle down so that she could start talking, and I wasn't wrong.

"So, you two came out on a date and spotted us? What a coincidence, Tara adjusted her body on the edge of the seat and mumbled.

I know what she was trying to make out of this situation. I didn't want to ruin my date sitting with her, but I was silent for the sake of my son.

"This is my piece of land, so I am bound to be seen around with my mate" Sam responded, grabbing my hand and planting a kiss on the back of it.

The fact that Tara didn't even like to see me happy with someone else made me wonder why she hated me so much. She wanted a powerful niate; she stole mine. So, why all the negativity now? She was acting like I was the one who stole something from her.

"But it is indeed weird that an alpha king decided to come out of the pack to dine in a rogue community, Samuel tried to joke, but I noticed my son looking upset, probably understanding that Sam was taunting Hunter. Now, that was a problem. If Hunter can be messy, I don't think anyone should put restrictions on Sam. But the fact that my son was getting upset about it worried me.

I gave my son a smile to distract him and he responded with the same comforting smile.

"Anyway, when are you

getting married?" Samuel continued. The waiters had come to serve us, and the tension between

us started to grow even more.

"We are planning it sooner now," Tara quickly responded before Hunter could say anything.

"Yeah! She is right," finally, he opened his mouth, and his response seemed to have shocked Tara too. She was lying without knowing anything until Hunter agreed with her, and now she looked over the moon happy.

"Great, that's good news," Sam commented. I was busy eating and watching my son eat. Their petty arguments didn't bother me until Sam dragged me into the middle, "Right, Reyna?"

I stopped the spoon near my lips to steadily turn my head to him, watching him to make him understand that he shouldn't start this.

"I said it is a good news, right?" Sam continued and after passing him a silent deadly glare, I nodded my head.

"It is," I didn't get why Sam was trying to observe my body language when he knew how much I hated Tara for putting me and my son through hell. It wasn't only about Hunter.

"I figured my son wants a complete family. I mean, don't get me wrong, he has lived his entire life with a single mother; obviously, it's about time he gets to live with both his parents," the way Hunter said every word made my heart jump up and then come down. He knew what he was doing and what the result would be.

It was more like a threat to me. I have told him that my biggest worry was to leave Tara with my son, and he was now using my fear against me. "I don't want a stepmother, my son lifted his body to whisper in my ear. They all watched him, but because it was also so noisy, I guess they didn't hear him.

Chapter 64

"You must be missing your son a lot, Tara smiled, taking a big bite from her lasagna. Her fork even hit her cringed. "Every mother misses their kid," I replied bitterly before turning my attention back to my son.

r teeth, and 1 70%

"But I don't know why she hasn't accepted my offer. Hunter's comment turned everything silent. Even the clanking of the dishes stopped as they all watched his face, probably wondering about the offer.. "I have told her that as a mother to my child, she is welcome to come and stay in the guesthouse whenever my son comes over to stay with me." Hunter was nonchalant, but with his one statement, he had stolen the attention of everyone present at the table. Even Turner looked at my face. I swear I saw a shimmer of hope and happiness, but then sadness shone through them. I took a deep breath and instead of replying. I dug my head down to focus on my plate.

"But I think it will be inappropriate for you to bring her back. Don't get me wrong, but even the pack members will question why she is back and not their loved ones who had also committed sins and were kicked out of the pack," Tara was cu nning in a way that she made it more about the rules than about her jealousy.

"And besides, I have a life here too. I decided it was time that I do something that would help Sam realize that the only reason I didn't tell him about this offer and the severity of it was because I didn't want to worry him. Along with it, I also wanted him to know that my personal grudge against Hunter wasn't the only reason I didn't go stay in the mansion. That I did it for him too.

That's understandable. Hunter noticed the eye lock between me and Sam because when I broke the eye contact with Sam and turned to my son, I saw Hunter staring at me.

"My son will understand," he then added, gently patting Turner's back and guiding his emotions. I wanted to warn him not to drag my son into the middle, but I wasn't left with much of a choice since doing so would upset my son. Hence, I did what I could do best-to focus on my food once again. I seemed to be the one getting dragged here. Hunter and Sam were at a cold war now. As the awkward silence started to settle in on us, I found Sam going through his pockets and then reaching for my hand. "Actually, I had taken her out for a special night, he started, making everyone look at him. "When I first saw you, Reyna, you were scared yet fighting to your best ability, I was like, 'Who is this crazy she-wolf?' And then I got to know you better when my wolf called you our mate. From that moment of you running away from me to you returning in my life, I have honestly loved you more. I think it is time that we take the next step. I cannot imagine my life without you. Holding your hands makes me stable; looking through your eyes fulfills my desires. Hence, my beautiful Reyna, would you accept me as your mate? Will you marry me?"

My heart fluttered when the fireworks started lighting up the sky and the music began to play even louder. The rogues started to cheer, and now all the eyes were on me. Even though it was a little unexpected, I guess it happened for the righ reasons. Hunter needed to see that I have moved on and that I do have a life behind.

Although I wanted to first speak to my son, I guessed what he would say; he liked Samuel. He would want the best for me. is taking a bit long. Sam joked. I held his hand and smiled, "Yes!"

As soon as I nodded my head, the crowd began to clap and throw confetti in the air. I giggled as Samuel rushed to get us out of our seats and then got on one knee to make me wear the ring That night turned into a beautiful celebration. And it all happened in front of my ex-vicious best friend and my ex-mate.
