Chapter 30

Hunter Sparrow:

I walked into my office to witness a scene I never anticipated. Turner smacked Tara, who took a step back and then turned to look at me. I had no inkling that this was happening behind my back, let alone Turner being present in the building. I recall his mother hadn’ì even departed for the office before I did, so how on earth did he manage to sneak in here, and for what reason?

“What the heck!” I exclaimed, swiftly moving toward them and stepping in between. I put my arm around Tara, gently tilting her face up by placing my finger under her chin. Tears welled in her eyes as she cradled her cheek.

It was evident that the pain wasn’t physical but rather from the disrespect.

“Who the hell brought you here?” I barked at Turner, who showed no remorse. After hitting an adult, he started shedding tears like a spoiled child.

thy from me.

“I was just asking the same question. It worried me to see him all alone here, she whispered, evoking sympathy Nobody should be treated this way.

“She is lying. She was saying horrible things to me,” Turner yelled, oblivious to the displeasure on my face. It irked me that he lacked basic manners.

He didn’t even want to acknowledge how wrong he was. He was acting like his mother, not even ready to accept his mistake and apologize. Instead, he kept angering me with his argumentative behavior.

“I am older than you, sweet kid. You shouldn’t be talking like that to me,” Tara remained kind to him, but that didn’t change his behavior towards her. I began to wonder if Reyna had filled his ears with malice towards Tara.

“Don’t call me a kid,” he hissed at her. The more she talked, the angrier he got, and the more annoyed I became.

“Little kid,” I grunted, and he pouted when he saw me addressing him. I couldn’t tell if it was a misperception or if he genuinely expected me to take his side.

“I saw you raise your hand at the future Luna queen. If you were an adult, do you know what would have been your fate?” I shouted, struggling to contain my anger. Looking at him reminded me of Reyna and the fact that she had moved on so swiftly, getting pregnant again.

“I wasn’t arguing with her. She was hitting me, Turner mumbled, intimidated by the wolf showing through my eyes.

“How can you lie so comfortably? I was astonished at how much he took after his mother.

“I am not lying. I don’t lie. She hurt me,” Turner continued to argue back with me.

“Enough! Not a single word, I pointed at him, “apologize to her right now.”

Since no one had taught him manners, I took matters into my own hands, especially in my office. I wouldn’t let Reyna’s son disrespect my Luna queen.

“No, I won’t,” and he proved he was Reyna’s son, displaying the same arrogance and ego issues.

“You made a mistake, yet-” as I moved forward to scold him, Tara held my hand and gently pulled me back.

“It’s okay. He’s just a kid,” she said, still taking his side.

“You stay out of it. You weren’t very nice to me when dad wasn’t around, but now you want to act like a good person,” Turner yelled, fueling my growing anger. There was something about his statement that deeply irked me.

“What kid! He’s slapping and yelling at you, and you’re still taking his side!” I shouted at Tara, frustrated that she was giving this kid a pass for mistreating her.

“She’s faking it.” Turner screamed, displaying no guilt for his wrongdoing.

“Look at him, still misbehaving with you,” I scoffed at her.

“Because she’s bad, dad!” he yelled defiantly.

You dare–raise your voice-” It hit me suddenly, “What did you call me?”

1 froze. Did he just call me his dad?

“I called you dad,” he whispered, his almond–shaped eyes staring

… Gre for my response.

“Huh?” Tara mumbled, stepping away to take in both Turner and me.

“I am not your dad. Did your mother fill this nonsense in your head?” It dawned on me that something was amiss. How did this child end up in my office, and now he was claiming me as his dada

“She didn’t tell me to say anything,” he uttered, attempting to use a softer tone for sympathy. However, what angered me most was hearing the word “dad‘ from his lips. It felt like Reyna was slapping me across the face after her son had slapped my

male.

She must have told him this to remind me of how she cheated on me.

“I’m not your dad.” I hissed, clenching my fists. Tara had gone silent, her hands to her mouth, and her eyes fixed on the two of us

“You are my dad, we are

are even alike.” The nerve of this kid to rub salt in my

y wounds.

“Enough! I’m not your dad. I will never be a dad to a spoiled brat like you,” I finally declared what needed to be said.

I believed in good parenting. Reyna, clearly, had no clue how to do that, as her son was now as rude as she was.

“But–As the little kid uttered that word, my harsh grunt silenced him.

“Now! You will apologize to this lady, or else- I hunched over, pointing my finger in his face and issuing a threatening tone. It was just a bluff to scare him into learning how to behave; I wouldn’t

actually do anything to him.

“You’re fighting with me for her?” Turner raised his head and pointed at Tara with his little finger.

“Yes! You know what?” I hissed, a rush of memories flooding back about how his mother had broken my heart.

“Because she’s special, and you’re not. You’re just a child of a woman who I don’t like. Hence, I don’t like you either.” It was petty of me to take my anger out on a child, but his sudden appearance seemed like a strategy orchestrated by Reyna

That cunning she wolf hadn’t come to the office herself but had sent her kid to ruin my day. Obviously, because she remembered today is my engagement anniversary with Tara.

“Now I

before releasin’s I dwelled on everything, I ended up getting more agitated. That’s when I momentarily grasped his arm

I instantly realized my mistake but tried to remain neutral about it.

“Apologize!” I yelled while the kid kept staring at his arm where I had grabbed him.

“Hey,” Jeffery rushed inside, stepping before the spoiled brat, “let him be. He’s just a child.”

I’m sure he hadn’t seen what happened here and how this kid hit my Luna. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sided with him.

“He hit Tara!” I pointed at Tara, who was still in shock.

Jeffery stared at the kid and then at Tara before gently pulling the kid behind him.

“I’ll talk to his mother. It’s better if she speaks to him. It’s inappropriate to scold someone else’s kid like this, I had never seen Jeffery disagree with me, and it disappointed me. I straightened my back and then sighed. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“I’m sorry!” Jeffery knew the moment he went against me that I would be upset with him.

However, I wasn’t entirely upset. I’m glad he stepped between us and saved the kid from my harsh glares. I didn’t like treating a child this way either. But his face reminded me of Reyna, and it just got me in my feelings once again.

I’ve called his mother and told her that he is here. She will come here soon, he told me before turning around to make the little boy follow him. But all I heard from him was a gasp.

“What happened now?” I asked Jeffery with a sigh, rubbing my forehead, while Tara turned around and stood near the window, looking outside.

“Where did he go?” Jeffery’s concerning voice and the statement filled my nerves with agitation. The instant I realized the kid was gone, I gulped because it only then struck me that Reyna will go crazy over this.
