Alpha Hunter

Chapter 144 Reyna Cruz

I had prepared for everything. After chatting with Hunter and the Rogue king, I returned to the living room and feigned pain,

I took the medicines from the guard but refrained from consuming them. While alone, I rustled up lunch and slipped the sleeping pills I requested from the guard into Samuel's juice glass.

"Reyna! Look what I've got for you," I heard Samuel call from the entrance. I swiftly positioned myself beside the food I had laid out in the living room.

"What?" I inquired, and the moment my son appeared before my eyes, my heart skipped a beat. Though I was terrified for him, seeing him after so long drove me to my knees, arms open wide as he rushed into them.

I embraced my son tightly, tears streaming instantly. It was surreal to see him today.

"My Turner!" I sobbed almost immediately. It had been weeks since I last laid eyes on him.

"Mommy! I've missed you so much," he cried too; clinging to me tightly.

"I'm so grateful to Uncle Sam for bringing me here." he continued, as I broke the hug and held his face, overwhelmed with affection for Samuel.

My body tensed as I remembered what that evil man had tried to do to my son, and my poor boy had no idea.

"That's incredible. You've given me the best gift of my life." I sniffled, rising from my knees, observing Samuel's face, his broken smile

masking the heroism he displayed.

"I couldn't bear to see you upset, Samuel uttered,

"I don't know how I'll ever repay you," I stated, secretly trembling.

"Oh, come on. You were crying for him, your mind completely focused on your son. So, I decided to-," he was in the midst of rambling and portraying himself as a great person when I interrupted him, "How did Hunter allow you to bring him here?" I questioned, and the moment Samuel heard that, he slowly turned to look at Turner,

who gave him a peculiar nod.

No!

My son better not be keeping secrets with this evil man.

"I left the house" Turner said, "I ran away from home when Samuel came to collect me for you. Dad wasn't allowing him, so I had already planned to escape with Uncle Sam," Turner gave Samuel a reassuring smile, who returned it with the same warmth.

What t

the heck was going on?

I needed to be alone with my son to question him and figure out what the heck was happening here.

"Oh, you've prepared food, Samuel glanced behind me and smiled. He seemed so calm, just like the way he acts whenever he isn't threatened.

"Yeah! I've been very grateful to you, and all these days, you've taken care of me. I thought I would repay you, but now since you've given me my son back-I don't know. But I owe you once again, I tried to act cute, even giggling, and I swear he bought it

His eyes wouldn't leave me alone. He was smiling like a fool.

"But I'll go freshen up my son first. And until then, you can only drink that juice. We'll eat lunch together, so don't start without me." I teased as I walked past Samuel, even playfully elbowing him, "Reynal" as I was walking away, Samuel called out to me.

"Thank you," he said, and I nodded, briskly walking away with my son. Once in the bedroom, I knelt down before my son, but before I could question him, he opened up.

"Daddy is in the basement. I had to act like I trust him because currently, we're in a very weak condition. Both you and pad were here. so I acted like I was leaving of my own free will with him instead of angering him, he made sure to speak every word quickly to Inform me of as much information as he could before we got interrupted.

"Oh, cool! I thought you were trusting him," I said, placing a hand on my chest, sighing in relief.

"So that interview- Turner raised his brow

"It was a lie," I hissed,

"What are we going to do now? Is Dad okay? Did you meet him?" he bombarded me with questions, and it seemed like I could tell him the plan. He was a very clever kid, and the way he handled Samuel so skillfully made me proud of him.

"Don't drink any juice when you go out. In the next few minutes,

s, we'll hype up Samuel to the point where he'll think we're ready to leave this city with him. But before he can even step foot out of this mansion, he'll face what he deserves for putting so many lives in danger." I muttered under my breath, my eyes fixed in space.

"Let's go before he suspects us," I patted Turner's shoulder and quickly took him to the bathroom to wash his face. After that, we rejoined Samuel in the living room. He had already taken a sip from the juice, but I didn't think it would do much. It was just a contingency plan in case he didn't listen to me. We sat down and began munching on food, and by the end of lunch, I started to show signs of anxiety. "What's up?" Samuel questioned, sitting with us as if he were part of our family.

"I'm glad we're all sitting here like a family again, but Samuel-what about Hunter? The moment Me finds out Turner is gone, he'll come here with his people, and we all know how cruel pack members can be," pouted, pretending to be scared for us.

"I have a plan for that as well," he said, giving me the answer I wanted to hear.

The rogue king had told me that Samuel would come to the basement and share his plans with them, as he needed someone to hear about his victories. He planned to leave with us and burn the house down. "Really? What is it?" I inquired excitedly.

"We have to leave this city. In fact, I suggest we leave the country. We can go to another town and join a pack. I've done my research and found some packs that no longer have alphas or their alphas are sick. We can go there and become part of that pack. I can be their alpha, and you can be their Luna," he seemed so happy as he told me what he had been up to all these days.

"I bet the packs are doing just fine. He intends to take over by force. The rogue king told me all about his plans. He was going to use those herbs to win as many wars as he could. But I won't let him succeed. "That is a wonderful idea. When can we go?" I knew he would be tempted to leave as soon as possible, or at least at the fear of me finding out something against him and changing my mind.

"We can start the preparations right now and leave because, as you said, Hunter will not rest," he gave me a pouty face, making me nod at his suggestion.

"But I wish I could heal first. How about we leave when I have healed?" I murmured.

"Umm! That is not at all an issue. You can heal in a few minutes. I have-um, this medicine-I will get you the medicine. You go and pack," he anxiously got out of his chair and rushed towards the hallway that led to the basement nearby. I was sure he was hurrying up because the council and the other alphas would soon come for the recapture of their alpha king, Besides, Mrs. Sparrow must have created a commotion by now.

"Turner! You need to go hide in the room," I got up and told my son, slowly grabbing a silver dagger from the wall. Turner did what I -asked him to do and hid in the bedroom. I took steady steps after Samuel. It was going to end today.
