Alpha Hunter

Chapter 136

Reyna Cruz

“I need some of it, the cure, I mean,” I managed to utter the full sentence with much difficulty. It was terrifying to realize that the man I had spent a whole year with was a complete stranger hiding behind the facade of a kind man. So all this time, he was the one deceiving us?

“You’ll have to open this door. We can’t get out or do anything to provide you with that cure, Holland sadly relayed the news to me

“Wait! Who’s been poisoned?” the woman inquired.

“Me and Hunter, I mumbled, realizing from their gasps how dangerously serious the situation could become now.

“That’s not good. You need to get away from here and from this man. He’s capable of anything– literally anything.” Holland began to explain, and that’s when I heard the whimpering of the woman. I even heard her repeatedly asking her mate if he thought the kids were still alive. My heart broke for them.

‘I’ll go now, but I’ll return with the keys, I sniffled, wiping my cheeks. But before I could ascend the stairs, I heard the woman ask me a question that momentarily froze me in my tracks.

“Is your son alive?”

“Huh? Turner is fine; he’s with his father,” I replied..

“Oh! I thought he passed away when Samuel last attacked him,” she murmured.

I remained silent, staring into the distance, unable to comprehend what I had just heard.

*Samuel attacked him?” I reached the door again, my hands trembling, but not from fear this time, from extreme anger.

“Yes! There’s a girl and her father who live here. They used to work for us, and they’re the only ones who got corrupted. Our people have no idea we didn’t leave them and ran away. But these two, they’re evil. She told me that her father was paid by Samuel to hit Turner with his car and then dump his body somewhere where it couldn’t be found. He desperately wanted to get rid of that child so that any bridge you have with Hunter is lost, her words made me close my eyes and place my hand on my forehead. I was now losing my ability to even converse.

“He even wanted Hunter dead, Holland continued.

“He’s not going to stop at anything until he gets you, the woman uttered.

“Hmm! I’ll–come back with the keys,” I realized if I stayed here for any more minutes, I would pass out. So I began to walk upstairs, but before doing so, I turned on the fan. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do about all this information. Part of me wanted to scream and hurt Samuel and confront him the minute he got home, but the other part was silent, just wanting me to doze off.

I dragged my body upstairs and then to my so–called bedroom where I had been trapped all this time, and I had no clue. What a clueless mother and mate I was to not see all the red flags. The fact that Samuel found me in the woods and then came straight to my house should have been enough explanation. The fact that nobody had seen him until he made himself visible to me was also a big red flag that I avoided

The minute I came into the room, I face planted onto the bed and passed out I guess the truth was too much, and the idea that

was stuck here left me in a state where I couldn’t even maintain consciousness.

“Are you okay?” A whisper jolted me awake, but I didn’t immediately open my eyes. It was like my body was resisting facing whatever would happen when I woke up

“Reynal What happened to you?” The voice sounded like Hunter’s, but it was not. It was just for a split second that I thought I was. back in Hunter’s arms. But the minute I opened my eyes, I found myself staring into Samuels eyes, who was sitting right beside me while brushing my hair.

“Hey!” he smiled.

“Oh!” Instantly slapping his hand away and pulling my body to the other side, I looked around. Everything started to come back to me, and all I could do was stare back at Samuel. I was in turmoil, wondering what could be done. I needed to react and confront him, but what good would it do?

“You passed out? Are you okay?” he stated again, looking so concerned.

“1–guess I overexerted myself,” I uttered. It was not easy to sit and talk with him now as if h

he wasn’t the biggest scammer ever.

“Why? What did you do?” he inquired.

“I was bored, and you had locked me in, so I decided to explore the castle,” I cleared my throat, sitting up and rubbing my eyes.

“And?” his soft whisper was filled with curiosity.

“And what? It’s a huge freaking castle. I began to feel like I was dying from seeing all those bedrooms,” I tried to sound normal, and the minute I joked about it, I watched him frown a little.

“You shouldn’t have worked yourself up so much,” as he smiled, I couldn’t help but look away.

“Okay, I will make sure you have everything you need,” he mumbled. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

I have come to a conclusion that I will not confront him because I would be at the risk of worse. I will fool him just the way he did to me. I will be the nicest, and once he trusts me, I will take the cure and leave him. But I wouldn’t just stop there, I will make sure he faces the worst punishment for his crimes.
