Alpha Hunter novel (Rayna and Hunter)

Chapter 85 Reyna Cruz:

I watched Hunter introduce Tara to us again as if we were unaware of her before. There's no way any of us could ever forget about her. Mrs. Sparrow looked clearly upset about her son's decision, but I remained calm because Hunter was directly watching me, as if he wanted to see my reaction. I began to fill my plate with food, not even reacting a tad bit, but I didn't realize my son had noticed everything. "Hello" Tara shrugged her shoulders as if she had achieved something big and giggled.

"Turner, how are you?" The audacity of her to purposely get a response from my son made me pass her a threatening glare.

"What happened? I am just greeting him. After all, I am going to be in his life too and this time. I will make sure I don't upset this cute little baby," she mimicked a childish tone and continued to pass a smile to my son, whose entire mood had changed after her arrival.

"I'm not hungry" Turner's announcement stopped Hunter from eating his toast.

"But why? You like this food, right?" The look of concern on Hunter's face was worth watching. He never realized that Turner would react like that

I'm not sure about what I like anymore and if my preferences will be met here. Turner gently pushed his plate away, making Tara roll her eyes at him. I was so right to come here with my son. This Tara would never let him live in peace as long as she is here.

"Turner! What happened?" Hunter called after him while I too left my table to attend to my son. I got out of my chair and noticed Hunter following us soon afterward.

"Turner, what happened?" I asked him as I caught up behind him to his bedroom. He sat on the bed with a very angry look on his face.

"I don't want to see Dad's face again," he muttered, making me sit beside him.

"Please lock the door. I don't want to talk to him." Turner yelled when he watched Hunter enter the room.

"Turner!" Hunter entered regardless because it was too late for me to lock the door on his face. He was already in the bedroom and making his way towards Turner.

"What happened, did I make a mistake?" the audacity of him to ask Turner that question even knowing da*n well what might have upset my son.

"So you don't even know what upset me?" Turner removed Hunter's hand from his.

"Okay, I guess I know," Hunter changed his tone to a very guilty one very quickly and gave up on pretending to be clueless.

"Look! I know you're upset, but I had to make that decision," Hunter continued to lie. I knew he didn't have to lie, and neither did he have to keep her in the mansion. He only did so to use her against me. "Really? The woman who hurt me and upset me time and time again. Not to mention, she used to be Mommy's friend, and now she has taken over her role. How could you let her stay here?" Turner was speaking, so I didn't even have to ask Hunter any questions. His son was intelligent enough to speak for himself.

"Turner! Your mommy was marrying my friend too," Hunter forced a smile, but I knew it was a dig at me.

"That was different. They are mates. You chose that woman after she lied to you about Mommy. Turner was good at making arguments. He probably recalled the words Tara had said about me to him in the office back when Turher left and got into an accident.

"Besides, she hit me; Uncle-Sam never did that," Turner continued, making Hunter covertly stare at me.

"I will make sure she doesn't come any closer to you," Hunter promised, but my son shook his head. 0470

"You only brought Mommy here so that you can keep me here." Obviously, my son never really thought beyond why he brought us here. In his head, his father wanted to keep him, that's why he accepted me back into his life. Little did he know, his father wanted me to suffer.

"No! I care about you two, Hunter boldly lied.

"If you did, you wouldn't have kept another mate, Turner finally lowered his tone and sighed. "Mommy! Can we please go back home again?" As he requested that question, a ray of hope emerged in my heart. "Sure, whatever you like," 1 happily said, and a little grunt from Hunter silenced me.

"Your mom cannot go back there again. You see, the council said I should keep you here," Hunter lost his control but didn't raise his voice with his son. His harsh glares were for me only, all the while trying to keep his voice down.

"Who is the council to decide where I should live? Do they not know how much my mommy has done for me? How can they give me to you, who doesn't even care about my likes and dislikes?"Turner's words did not only shake the world from under my feet but Hunter seemed shocked too. I bet he didn't expect Turner to be so vigilant. But I knew my son, he had seen the look on my face when Tara kept trying to speak to Turner

"That's not true. I love you more than anything in this world," Hunter almost said through a gasping tone.

"I am promising you I will take care of that issue called Tara," Hunter uttered, but Turner once again shook his head. "Can we please talk alone for a moment?" Hunter suddenly turned to me to request some time alone with my son. "Why alone? You can talk to him in front of me. He is my child. was defensive when he asked me to leave the room.

"Turner! Do you not want to talk to your daddy man to man? Your mommy will get anxious and upset with our conversation, Hunter cleverly included Turner, who quickly looked my way and then agreed with his father.

"I will not get anxious," I muttered under my clenched jaw.

"She is still getting red. Look at her face," Hunter pouted, eyeing Turner to look at me.

y son against me.

"Mommy! I will be fine," Turner agreed with his father. I didn't like how Hunter was using my son

"But as I insisted, Hunter intervened.

"You should respect Turner's choices," Hunter gave me a close-lipped smile, trying to act innocent and genuinely concerned.

I glared at his face and then looked over at my son, who was requesting me to leave because now he thought he had to speak to his dad man to man or else his mommy would be upset.

"Okay," I hissed, getting up and leaving the room. Hunter followed me, and as we stared into each other's eyes, he shut the door on my face and locked it.

I was now furiously pacing in front of the room, trying to hear as much as I could, but they were whispering so sofily.

"Ugh!" as I stomped my foot and turned away from the door, I watched Tara come my way.

"So you

finally came back, huh?" she hissed, folding her arms over her chest.

"Hmm! But isn't it weird that you are still unmarried and not marked by him?" I continued with a smirk.

"Huh! You're really happy? How could you do this to Samuel? He loved you so much. Why did you come hack to where you

are not even a priority"" she continued to act clueless. So I decided to explain to her what brought me here.

"Actually, you should ask Hunter that question. He practically begged me to be with him. He had done everything to make sure I am hus again. And that included taking full custody of my son and blackmailing me to mark him on my wedding day. 1 shrugged and watched her face turn pale. I don't know and I don't care what lies Hunter told her, but it was time I tell her the truth and shake the world from under her feet like she deserved.

"But I am glad he kept you. I wouldn't want you to leave. I don't want his undivided attention on me. I rolled my eyes, placing my hands on my chest when expressing how I don't want to be alone with him.
