Chapter 42
Reyna Cruz:
“Is the office really the right place to have this conversation?” Jeffrey anxiously paced around as we sat in our chairs, glaring at each other for the past few minutes.
“Let her come over here,” Hunter grunted at Jeffrey.
“Your highness, a lot has happened in the office before. The workers are starting to question the professionalism of their bosses. Maybe we can take this conversation somewhere else, Jeffrey suggested, but we didn’t budge.
“Oh, shoot! Today is going to be another rough day,” Jeffrey, realizing none of us was even listening to him, groaned and buried his face in his hands as he sat on his chair, waiting for her arrival.
“Baby! Were you missing me so much that you couldn’t wait until you got home?” Even before stepping entirely inside, that annoying woman started using her seductive tone to interact with Hunter. She rushed in wearing a grey dress, but her outspread arms slowly fell when she spotted me facing her mate.
“I will wait in the waiting room, she rolled her eyes, not guessing why she had been brought here.
“Come, have a seat,” Hunter muttered, his eyes still fixed on my face.
“Why? I don’t want to be a part of your projects, she hesitantly answered, so I guessed maybe she was already suspecting some argument would happen.
That’s when I broke eye contact with Hunter and lifted my head to look at her. She didn’t seem too pleased with Hunter looking my way. But since she had managed to keep her distance, I got to my feet. In one attempt, I punched her so hard that she flew back, tripping and landing on her butt.
I heard Jeffrey let out a gasp and then run to her rescue, while Hunter got up from his seat to rush between us.
“This slut!” She screamed, pointing her finger at me.
“Enough! Don’t raise your voice in my office,” he yelled at her, and for a brief moment, even I thought I was hearing him wrong. But then he turned to me and glared at me, “Fucking let me talk first
“You need to ask for answers: I don’t, I know my son would never lie to me, so I don’t have a reason to wait for her excuses. I believe in punishing, just like you do.” As I stared into his eyes, I watched him look taken aback. I bet he remembered how he punished me without even looking into the truth, my truth.
“What’s going on here? Was I called here for this?” She got up with much difficulty, tripping and losing her balance. Her nose was bleeding, covering the white tissues Jeffery kept giving her that now turned red.
“Turner said you abused him that day when he came here to see me,” Hunter now turned to question her, but obviously, she would lie about it. I had known her for years before she was introduced to Hunter; she had a habit of lying. She even ran away with her mate without telling anyone, which was the reason her pack and parents kicked her out in the first place. They were upset that she didn’t even speak to them about her mate and acted like they would not accept him because he wasn’t- higher up in the hierarchy. That’s why when her mate cheated on her, she didn’t go back to her pack and came straight to ruin my marriage.
“No! Why would I do that? Do I look crazy to you?” She yelled, shaking her head and continually changing the tissues.
“Oh, don’t even mention that. I know how much you lie. Did you forget about the whole plan you made to break us apart? The way you told me you were using my phone to contact your ex when, in reality, you were chatting up some dude that you later accused me of sleeping with?” I yelled, recalling the horrifying memory of my character assassination.

Chapter 42
“We are not going to talk about the past here, Hunter groaned, but I was done listening to his commands when he kicked me out. I was no longer the Luna Queen who was obedient and would barely open her mouth before him. Even after being so obedient and his doormat, I got rejected.
“Of course, you won’t because it will make you regret. You are blind to the truth, and you would rather live in a happy bubble of lies than to see the truth and acknowledge that you ruined everything with your own hands,” I hissed as I pointed my finger in his face angrily.
“Really? I saw your text conversations with that dude,” he grabbed my finger and pulled me closer, yelling in my face.
“Those were conversations that she made up. If you had done your research properly, you would have found the texts between me and that unknown ID who told me about you having an affair behind my back. That’s why I went to that hotel room in the first place,” I said, feeling exhausted from repeating myself like a broken record.
He took a deep breath and then let go of my hand, giving me a judgmental look before he said, “I did every research, and the records didn’t show any text conversation between you and any unknown caller ID.”
For a moment, I just kept staring at his face. I was so certain that he didn’t check the records. All this time, I was angry that he didn’t do any research and called me a culprit.
“There is no way. I remember getting text messages, did you really check all the records?” I wasn’t screaming at him anymore because that was the only thing that kept me angry at him. I wanted him to do his own research, but now he was telling me that he did, and all he could find was outgoing texts to this dude that I was caught in the hotel room with.
“I did. I am an Alpha King; I wasn’t foolish enough to not do any investigation.”
I watched his eyes turn red, tears appearing in them. I hated how I was now speechless because I didn’t have anything to prove my innocence.
