Chapter 15
Hunter Sparrow
I’ve been really stressed out ever since I saw that little kid with Reyna. Who could he be? Why was he saying she’s his mommy?
“Babe! I’ll go get ready for dinner,” Tara’s high–pitched voice snapped me back to reality. I looked in her direction and then shook my head in disappointment. I’ve been trying my best to get used to her being around, but Reyna’s arrival has messed everything up. I couldn’t stand Tara for a second, and now it’s even worse.
But I have to make it look like I can handle it.
“Hunter!” Tara called out again, making me frown. I walked past her to get to my room before she could follow me there. If someone else were in her place, they would have quit and left a long time ago. She’s like a leech.
I had figured out much earlier that I couldn’t be with her. My mind and wolf had never gotten over–Reyrla’s betrayal.
“Hunter!” Tara quickly entered my room, stopping me from closing the door.
“Are we going out?” she asked again, this time using a softer tone. I shouldn’t have made that call earlier. Just to let Reyna know I’ve moved on, I got myself into this trouble.
“No!” I replied, not allowing her to manipulate me into feeling sorry for her.
“Why not?” she asked, no longer pretending to be polite.
“Because I just got back from work, and after the stunt you pulled in the office, I’m really upset,” said, my voice filled with irritation, and I noticed her eyes getting teary.
“What’s going on here? Are you two arguing again?” Thankfully, my mom arrived just in time. I could count on her to defuse the situation.
“He’s not taking me to the dinner he promised after seeing his ex again,” to my surprise, Tara wasn’t giving up. I gave her a stern look and continued glaring until she realized she couldn’t manipulate me, and she stepped away from me.

“His ex? What is she saying?” The expression on my mom’s face made it clear that it would be devastating news for her if it was true.
“Hunter! What’s she saying?” Now that my mom had taken over, Tara stepped aside.
“See how he’s glaring at me,” she murmured, giving my mother’s elbow a nudge.
“Have you met her?” Mom didn’t even want to say her name. Reyna was like a banned name in our house. Even though years have gone by, my mom never forgave her for fooling around when she was with me.
“She works at his office,” Tara quickly chimed in to inform my mom, whose eyes widened, and I glared.
I didn’t want to get involved in this gossip. Tara had acted like she understood when I explained things to her at the office, but now she was back to complaining at home.
“There’s no way she can work in his office. You must be wrong. Reyna wasn’t that qualified,” Mom chuckled a bit after convincing herself, but Tara just rolled her eyes.
“Well, somehow she’s the top
copywriter now,” Tara gestured dramatically with her arms.
“Huh? Is it true? How did she become a copywriter? When she was kicked out, she was just a teenager. How could she have survived, let alone become a successful copywriter?” Mom breathed heavily, her dream to hear that Reyna was doing worse shattering.
The last time Tara and I saw her at the mall, she was in a very bad condition. Tara came home dancing and told
I my mother how Reyna looked terrible and old, using her words to express how happy she was at Reyna’s downfall.
As for me, I couldn’t sleep for a week after that encounter. I couldn’t understand why she threw away everything for some flings. Why did she give up my love for those random werewolves?
‘Since you’ve already shared that much, why don’t you go outside and talk about it?” I had no intention of hanging around with these women and gossiping about my ex. Honestly, it was annoying to see Reyna doing so well. Where was Karm
‘How on earth did this happen? How did she end up with such a perfect life?‘ I complained to my wolf, who had been quiet since her return.
‘Do you
