Alpha Hunter novel (Rayna and Hunter) novel Chapter 2

Reyna Cruz:

"Alpha King Hunter!" The man pulled away and grabbed a sheet to cover his torso.

"How could you sleep with my mate, the Luna Queen?" Hunter was trembling with anger, his eyes revealing his wolf.

My mouth hung open, and my throat felt dry at his words. He had it all wrong.

"No! That's not what happened," I tried to explain, staying in the corner, but the stranger had more to say.

"I didn't know she was the Luna Queen of the Flaming Fangs Pack. She told me she was an Omega from some random pack," The man lied; he wasn't from our pack. That's why his scent was so strange.

"He's lying. I don't even know him," I yelled at the man, trying to prove my innocence. "Why are you doing this?"

"That's it. You will face the consequences of sleeping with an Alpha King's mate. And as for you... how long? How long have you been sneaking around behind my back to be with this man?" Hunter turned his face to the side, gritting his teeth and muttering those words to his mate.

I could only imagine how he was feeling. Just the thought of finding him with someone else made my blood pressure rise. I could only guess what he was going through seeing me with this naked man.

"Hunter! I promise, I'm innocent." My poor attempt at a full sentence was cut short by the hot flashes and nausea I was experiencing.

"Beta Mac has arranged a ride for us.

I don't want to stay here and witness this unpleasant scene," Hunter rushed over and took my hand, leading me away.

I felt really uneasy when everyone kept glancing at us and whispering to each other. Hunter had his fingers tightly wrapped around my wrist as he pulled me along to the car. I kept my head down, trying to avoid the curious stares from all around.

We settled into the backseat of the car as the driver hit the road. I was keeping my distance from Hunter; his rapid breathing was unsettling.

I couldn't find the words to speak. Beta Mac was seated in the passenger seat, and I didn't want anyone eavesdropping on our conversation. Their opinion of me was already negative, and I didn't want to worsen things.

So, I mentally prepared myself to show him the text messages and explain why I was in that suite in the first place. I believed it would clear everything up.

Once we arrived at the mansion, Hunter got out of the car, and I had to hurry to catch up with him.

"Hunter! Please, just hear me out," I raised my voice as we entered the foyer.

"Really? Fine. Let's hear it then. Explain why you were with that man," Hunter turned to me, shouting loudly. I noticed he was wearing the same coat I had found at the suite's entrance.

It didn't occur to me at the time, but now I was starting to catch on. I didn't accidentally walk into the wrong room; I was led there.

"I received messages from a stranger telling me you were cheating on me with some other she-wolf," I said, my heart sinking as I recalled those text messages.

"And you believed them?" Hunter frowned, shaking his head in disappointment.

"Could you blame me? You've been ignoring me..." I couldn't hold back the tears and broke down into sobs before I could even pour my heart out to him.

"Reyna! I was planning for your birthday. I wanted it to be the most special experience for you. I was busy hiring cruise guards and buying an island as a gift while you thought I was cheating on you," his words and the shattered tone made me lift my face from my hands and stare at him.

I was in shock at the truth. So, he had never cheated on me?
