Alpha Hunter novel (Rayna and Hunter)

Chapter 101 Reyna Cruz

She kept kissing him, holding onto him without any hint of letting him go, and I stood behind the wall, witnessing it all,

I was struck with this horror that I couldn't explain. It just didn'take any sense why they were this close? Was it just a one time thing or were they doing it behind everyone's back all along?

Finally, Jeffery broke free and gently pushed her away. The look of sorrow on her face after his rejection silenced her, and She frowned

"What happened?" she asked softly, blinking her eyes constantly and staring at him like she is the most innocent person

"We shouldnt do this," Jeffery uttered, a frown forming on his forehead. He seemed upset and it wasn't because he had to break the kiss. It seemed like he was upset with her but also not because she kissed him. I just couldn't learn a lot from his holy language.

"Why?" she placed her hands on her waist and questioned him. I was stunned to see her react to his rejection like a brat. I Imagined her to agree with him since she had been claiming to be in love with Hunter only but here she was, demanding a kiss from Jellery!

"I can't do this. I'm loyal to Alpha King Hunter," Jeffery responded, making Tara weirdly gasp as if she didn't know that already

"1" she stomped her foot but then decided to say nothing at all and leave.

I'll be in my room, she hissed

"You're not going to attend the event?" Jeffery questioned, and in response, she scoffed. The way she was rolling her eyes at hum and acting like he committed a crime by pushing him away was just astonishing.

"To hell with you and the event. If Hunter isn't at the event, I don't need to be there either," she shrugged and grabbed her dress, I had to sneakily make my way back to the Royal hall to avoid bumping into her. I was still shocked to see her throw herself at Jeffery. However, the way he didn't immediately pull away from her surprised me a linle. 1 began to wonder what was going on between the two of them. I stayed in the crowd until I saw Jeffery appear. He had wiped off the lipstick and fixed his hair. I made my way to him and watched him give me a nod.

Luna Queen" he tried to joke, unaware that I had so many questions regarding him.

"You brought her back!" I didn't want to instantly confront him and make him go silent on me.

"Yeah, she's resting in her room. I don't think she'll be coming downstairs again," he added. "That's not a problem. In fact, that'll be one less issue. I joked, and he laughed.

"So, Jeffery!" I cleared my throat as he picked up a glass of wine from a passing waiter.

"Yes?" he asked, sipping from the glass

"You must have been informed by Hunter where he is." I said, and he nodded, deciding not to add more commentary to keep the topic from being overheard by anyone.

However, I continued, "you must be really close to Hunter."

"Yeah, I've worked with him for a very long time. He was nice enough to appoint me to such a big position, and status," he

smiled, mentioning all the favor Hunter had shown him.

63%

"Ah! So you weren't always a beta?" I asked because I knew he hadn't used to be the royal beta before. I would have never found out if Mrs. Sparrow hadn't told me that he was currently getting ready to be the official royal beta.

"No! I used to be an omega. But I really worked hard to make my wolf grow in strength," he said, almost as if he would love to brag about his achievements.

"Aha! Then you must have been aware of his first mate and rejection, 1 folded my arms over my chest, and he finally understood why I had been asking him so many questions. He turned to me and gulped loudly.

"About that!" he got it, "I didn't want to be questioned. I was told by Hunter to keep an eye on you and the rogue king, So I thought if I acted like I knew you, you would start being cautious around me," he mumbled and bit his tongue, "sorry!"

"Really? But you never even introduced yourself as someone who knew me when I first met you. The rogue king came way later in our lives," I tried to jokingly point out a discrepancy in his story all the while keep noticing his body language. He did look a little disturbed.

"Oh! You mean why didn't I immediately recognize you when you first came to the office?" he opened his mouth wide when thinking about that day and smiled at himself. "I didn't in the beginning. But then I did and thought it would make you feel uneasy, so I didn't bring it up." he was back to smiling and drinking from his wine.

There was no way he wasn't aware of the judgmental look on my face.

"But why did you think it would make me feel uncomfortable?" I tilted my head and watched him look away, probably hoping for someone to come to his rescue.

His actions made me raise my brow at him. And then to his rescue, my son appeared.

"Mommy! I love my grandparents, do you know grandad used to sneak out of the pack when he was a kid and would always get scolded when he was caught?" Turner asked as he quickly approached me. "Yeah i have heard of this story many times," I tapped my hand on his cheek and noticed that Jeffery was beginning to slip

away.

"Why don't you go and keep accompanying them while I finish my discussion with Jeffery?" As soon as I mentioned him, he stopped in his tracks since he realized I wasn't letting him get away so easily. "Sure! And then I will introduce them to Jeffery, Turner smiled for the royal beta and he smiled back at him. I swear my s seemed like a way out of this mess for him but I didn't let it happen. Jeffery had to answer me loud and clear about the questions I had in my mind.

"Because it would bring up the trial. I thought you would feel ashamed and guilty to make eye contact with me after I talked about the way you betrayed Hunter," he rushed over the words as if he was quickly trying to finish the topic.

"Oh!" I nodded, "that reminds me of something. You were the one who was part of the investigation, right?" I was no longer pretending to smile, and he noticed it too.

"Reyna! I'm sorry if 1 upset you by being part of that investigation. But I didn't know you personally back then, and I did what I was asked to do by the Alpha King," he mumbled in an apologetic tone. And you know me personally now? You still spied on me, that was my attempt to remind him of his actions that even if he is asked to do something against me by Hunter, he would do it again. I mean, he did spy on me and Samuel. All those times when Hunter would magically and accidentally appear before us or intervene in our date nights, it was because Jeffery had been relying on information to Hunter by spying on us.

"I don't care that you were part of the investigation. That is literally what Alpha King's subjects are supposed to do, to follow his orders and serve him rightfully. However, I paused when I noticed a frown forming on his forehead. Now, even he seemed confused and lost at where I was going.
