Alpha Hunter novel (Rayna and Hunter) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 

Reyna Cruz

When they were walking behind me, they actually made me very uncomfortable. They were awkwardly silent and whenever I turned around to look at them, I noticed them just staring at me

You two can share a room,I led them to the guestroom. It was located near the sunroom, featuring two separate beds placed against the opposite walls with a free space between them

As Samuel admired the landscape paintings, Hunter stood in the corner, his eyes fixed on me as though he could devour. me. I couldn’t comprehend the depth of his hostility. Though I despised him for the hardships he had put me through, I wasn’t the type to stand and glare; I preferred not to waste my time on those who no longer meant anything to me

I am so happy my people have come this far,” Sam wrinkled his nose in admiration, sounding skeptical yet oddly making it about himself

Yeah! We are really grateful to you for showing up sooner,I whispered under my breath, bitterness creeping in because of his association with Hunter

I’m sorry? Was that sarcasm?” Sam responded unexpectedly, facing me with a determined look, demanding an explanation for my comment

No, not at all. Why would I be sarcastic towards your highness?Despite my denial, sarcasm slipped into my tone once again. I simply hoped he’d let it slide and avoid starting an argument under my own roof. Besides, it felt peculiar to engage in a dispute with my guest

I mean, come on, Reyna. If you’re going to make a comment, boldly own it,” Sam said, flashing a smile, though it had a strange, crooked twist to it

Well, you’re actually working with someone who has expelled every single person from this rogue community. He kicked us all out, making it clear that none of the pack members are allowed to communicate with us. Yet, now he’s helping you create a good place for us?I folded my arms over my chest, scrutinizing the dynamic between Samuel and Hunter

The two exchanged a glance, and Hunter walked into the room, closing the door behind him with deliberate steadiness. Their actions made me feel a hint of hesitation

Secretly gulping, I tried to maintain confidence. The people I kicked out were bad individuals, breaking rules and going against their alpha king,” Hunter stated, moving so close that I felt suffocated against the wall. He had backed me into

comer

I am associating with him because I am convincing him that these people deserve a second chance in their lives. Despite being kicked out, they should have somewhere they belong.Samuel added, positioning himself at eye level with Hunter. Okay!I responded awkwardly. Their intense gaze made my wolf uneasy, sensing a peculiar aura from their wolves. Now, you two should get some rest. When their staredown turned into an uncomfortable eye contest, I stepped aside, escaping from the room without even turning around to bid them goodnight, needing some peace to breathe

Wow, that was crazy, I complained, a hand pressed against my chest

Tell me they were planning on hurting me, I asked my wolf, sensing that she must have picked up on more than I did. 

Their wolves wanted to- she began but stopped abruptly, as if grappling with the possibility

What?I inquired, bewildered

Chapter 28 

They were giving us mixed signals. It wasn’t entirely frustration; it was more like they wanted to touch us, Nera’s words made my body shudder. I shook my head, dismissing her claims

You’re overthinking, I rolled my eyes at her and joined Polline, who was cleaning the kitchen

I’m so sorry. I didn’t expect them to stay for the night, I sighed, attempting to help her, but she remained silent

Are you tired?! questioned, hoping she would agree to a glass of wine. Our nights usually ended with light alcohol and a bit of gossip. often at Polline’s suggestion. However, tonight, she seemed to be avoiding me

Polline!Now, that was concerning. I persisted, standing in her way, refusing to let her pass when she made it clear she didn’t want to communicate with me

What’s going on? Why aren’t you talking to me?It didn’t sit well with me to be ignored by her. I’d been in a state where everyone avoided me like I was a plague, and I didn’t want to feel that again, especially not with her

I don’t think you want to talk to me, Reyna. So, I’m just helping you by staying silent,she replied with a hint of bitterness, surprising me

What happened? Tell me,1 demanded. It was evident that she wasn’t happy about something. I couldn’t recall saying anything to her, and we could barely talk in the presence of others

Then it struck me. Polline started acting strangely after having a private conversation with Samuel. Did he say something to 

her

Polline! Did somebody offend you?I asked, hastily placing my hand on the kitchen counter to create a barrier in her way

Yeah, I’m kind of offended that you hid such a big thing from me,she uttered, slowly crossing her arms over her chest, providing a much clearer response

Emm! What exactly are you talking about?I inquired, feeling a little deflated because it wasn’t hard to deduce that she had found out what I had been keeping from her

Why didn’t you tell me that Samuel is your second chance mate?There it was, that prick had spilled the beans

Ugh!I scoffed and closed my eyes as she tried to get past me

No! WAIT, I inadvertently raised my voice while attempting to stop her. I’m not angry that you found out. I’m mad at him. for telling you about that when it should have been me,” I explained, noticing the way she nodded with hurt in her eyes

Exactly, it should have been you,she added. But why didn’t you tell me?” 

1 sank into my body and then strolled into the living room with her following behind

I didn’t want anyone to convince me to give him a chance,” I murmured guiltily and sat down on the couch

But why not?she asked, already making it clear that she would have encouraged me to give him a chance, explaining why I hadn’t told her

I don’t like his cocky attitude. He acts so- I made fists out of my hands and raised them beside my face, imagining punching him when he irritates me

That’s not fair. You cannot have these opinions about someone without giving them a chance. Besides, the second chance is a chance in itself. You are supposed to be with him, so at least give it a try,” she suggested, holding my hand and gently rubbing between her hands

Are you still not over him?suddenly, the topic shifted, and I shook my head to ensure I heard her clearly
