Alpha Hunter novel (Rayna and Hunter) novel Chapter 3

Reyna Cruz:

The pack's training ground was crowded with members, and many of them scrunched their noses in disgust when they saw me. I felt unfairly judged.

The counselors had allowed the Royal Beta to explain the entire situation to them, including my claims of receiving text messages. They had then taken my phone to examine it.

"It's truly disheartening that a Luna Queen would behave in such a manner. Not only did she embarrass herself, but she also made her Alpha King look like a laughingstock by sending such text messages," my blood ran cold as Mr. Gale, the head of the counselors, accused me.

"I never spoke to anyone. I don't know how this conversation ended up on my phone," I felt like I was coming off as dishonest, but deep in my heart, I knew this was a well-orchestrated scheme against me.

I never suspected Tara was texting that guy for months, especially when she kept asking to borrow my phone.

"There's a conversation between you and Killian from months ago. How can you deny it so boldly?" Mr. Gale adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and then shook his head at me, "This is precisely why an Omega should never be mated to an Alpha King. She never comprehended the importance of our reputation and that title," Mr. Gale went on before taking a deep breath and reaching for the papers on the side.

Hunter hadn't even glanced in my direction during this entire ordeal. I understood that I had deeply upset him, and regrettably, all the evidence seemed to be against me. But I still clung to hope that he would grant me one opportunity to make amends.

"Hunter! Please, just look at me," I pleaded, but Mr. Gale's secretary walked over to me and slammed the divorce papers and the pack expulsion notice in front of me. I furrowed my brow, feeling a surge of fear, and desperately wished for Hunter to come to my rescue once more, just as he had in the past.

"Sign the papers and release the Alpha King from this torment. Such a formidable werewolf deserves someone superior," Ferocia remarked.

"But I'm innocent," I protested, and as I watched them all glare at me, my throat tightened with emotion. Instead of signing, I began to vomit on the papers.

"Oh my! You're such a mess," Ferocia exclaimed, stepping back hastily, while the pack members covered their mouths in shock.

"I'm so sorry," I couldn't even finish apologizing because my head started to spin. I don't even know who came to support my body because I'm certain I didn't land on the ground.

I had no clue what had happened, but I had been feeling unwell for a few days, and this stress only added to my declining health. I passed out and woke up after several hours in one of the maid's rooms. Immediately upon waking up, I felt the urge to inquire about what had transpired.

There was no one in the room, no caretaker. From being a Luna Queen to nobody, I seemed to have taken that journey in a matter of hours.

"Why did Tara lie to me?" I still couldn't believe she had deceived me. But why would she do such a thing? I had never wronged her in any way.

As I got out of bed, the door opened, and Mr. Gale entered the room with a doctor and Hunter. My heart seemed to have revived at the sight of Hunter, but he didn't seem to share the same sentiment. He looked devastated upon seeing me.

"Hunter!" I whispered and rushed towards him, but a hand gesture from him brought me to a sudden halt.

"Don't even try to come any closer, you filth," he yelled, and my jaw dropped in shock.
