Alpha Hunter novel (Rayna and Hunter) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 

Hunter: 

He sat across from me, head down, hands fiddling with the zipper of his jacket. He appeared upset, but at least he agreed to 

listen. 

“Spit it out quickly: I’m pressed for time,” he mumbled, furrowing his brow. 

“Got an office to run to?” I teased. He pouted, crossed his arms, and turned his head to the side abruptly. 

Polline, who had been silently observing us from a distance, finally approached with the question in her eyes. 

“Yes?” I inquired, lifting my head. 

“Can we have a private chat?” she hinted at Turner, signaling her desire for confidentiality. 

“Talk in front of him; he’s my son. He should be in the loop,” I declared, noticing a slight softening in his expression when I referred to him as my son. 

“Does Reyna know you’re here?” she inquired, glancing at Turner. I had to be careful with my response in front of him; he was soaking up every word. 

“Yes, I lied, and she seemed to catch it, tilting her head and raising an eyebrow at me. 

“Can we have some alone time?” I requested, noting the displeasure on her face. She probably had orders not to leave Turner alone with me. But what could she do? I wasn’t leaving, and she couldn’t oust the alpha king. 

Reyna must have spun her innocent tale, and I didn’t care what Polline thought. My focus was entirely on my son now. 

“So, if you’re done, I’ll take off,” Turner said, raising his head after Polline left as instructed. 

“I’m sorry,” I whispered, sliding to the edge of the seat and leaning in. 

“For what?” he asked, tilting his head sassily. 

“For being a lousy dad and not trusting you at the office,” the weight of my words sat heavily on my chest. I could only. imagine how he felt. He was just an innocent kid; why did I unload my anger on him? 

“Hmm, doesn’t matter anymore, he shrugged. 

“But I know it did back when it happened,” I replied, observing his expressions closely. His lips kept struggling to stay down, indicating that he was still hurting. 

“Back then, I thought you were my daddy. But now—I know you are not,” he mumbled, masking his true feelings. 

“Tell me, what can I do to fix it? I don’t want to lose you, Turner!” As I exposed my vulnerable side, I saw him lift his head, acknowledging the tears in my eyes. 

It was true; Reyna’s betrayal had left me devastated. I had stopped living my life, every step a painful reminder of her. Yet, finding out I had a son like Turner brought a glimmer of hope. I didn’t want to lose that. 

“You took her side over me,” he cried, lowering his head again. This time, his voice lacked bitterness, carrying more of a sense of complaint. 

“I didn’t choose her over you, Turner! Your mother and I argue a lot, so I took her anger out on you. Besides, I didn’t even know you were my child. Nobody jold me, and when you did—I was just lost,” I realized I was a fool to share all this with a
