Alpha Hunter

Hunter

"Ah! I groaned as I smashed the small window, managing to snatch the herb being handed down by the rogue king. My hands were covered in blood from the shattered glass.

As I slipped the herbs beneath my tongue, I felt a surge of energy I hadn't experienced in so many days. It felt both unreal and incredibly real

"Are you here?" I sat down, waiting for my wolf to awaken. While doing so, I fixed my gaze on my hands. As they began to heal, I questioned my wolf.

"You finally woke me up!"

A wide smile spread across my face upon hearing his voice. I now realized how important it is for a werewolf to have their wolf. Life without a wolf is incomplete for us. I had lost all my will to live, and the only reason I kept going was because of Reyna and my son. But now that I had my wolf back, I was ready to fight.

"We've won Reyna's heart too," I shared the good news with Net. The way she expressed her feelings for me and told me she had missed me fueled my energy

I knew there was no way she was over me. But I also wondered how Samuel could be so cunning. The way he set up everything was wild.

"Are you feeling alright?" Jeffrey's question snapped me out of my own sea of thoughts.

"Yeah, I can hear Net now," I smiled victoriously.

"That's amazing. So, now we just have to wait for Samuel to arrive?" Jeffery asked, and I nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I better hurry up. I really wanted to-ugh! Get the cure first so that I can break the lock of this door and hug Reyna. But sadly-"I trailed off, feeling depressed at the thought of not being able to see her face for so long.

"It won't be long before you two are together again, Jeffery said weakly, barely able to speak loudly."

"Oh, I completely forgot," I exclaimed, slapping my forehead when I realized I was supposed to give him the cure as well.

"No!" However, the moment I brought the herb near his l*ps, he tightly pressed them together and turned his face away from me.

"Huh? But it's the cure," I laughed, thinking he was being paranoid.

"I don't deserve this cure," he uttered, and my frown intensified.

"Jeffery! We both deserve this cure. You came here with me, and even when we got caught, I guess it happened for the best. I can see our plan working, so don't think you failed me or anything." I smiled reassuringly, kneeling down to convince him to take the cure. It would be better if he were prepared too. Samuel won't go down that easily. We need to be attentive because Reyna is still in his clutches.

"You don't get it Jeffery sighed.

"What don't I get? Come on, I'm the alpha king, I get everything. So tell me, I teased, gently elbowing him.

But the way he kept his face turned away and hid his eyes from me made me wonder what could be so bad that he couldn't even look me in the eye.

"Hunter! I don't deserve your friendship. Friendships are supposed to grow with honesty. In fact, the basis of friendship is honesty, but I am far from being an honest person, he finally confessed, meeting my gaze directly. The hairs on the back of my neck stood

1. up.

"What are you talking about? What dishonesty have you committed? My tone shifted instantly, and I began to wonder what he could have done that was causing him such shame.

*Remember that data you wanted me to collect for Reyna's trial?" he asked, and my eyes narrowed at his face. Why was he bringing that up?

"And you delivered it with honesty, right?" I hissed under my breath, finally realizing something was wrong.

At this point, did I even need to hear it from him? Yes! I wanted to hear it so that I could feel guilty and Reyna could be freed from the accusations made against her.

"I am sorry," he said, and the moment he uttered those words, I punched him in the face, blood splattering from his mouth.

"Hey! What's going on over there? The rogue king heard the commotion and yelled to know what we were doing there.

"Do you have any idea what you've done to me and Reyna? I couldn't be with her during her first pregnancy. I couldn't be there for my son, all because you didn't deliver the truth to me," I punched him again, my anger beyond control.

"Hey! Lower your volume. What if he's already coming downstairs and hears all this?" the rogue king's queen yelled, but I was losing my mind.

"I'm sorry!" Jeffrey uttered again, but I landed another punch to his face before kneeling down in front of him and grabbing his collar.

"Why? Why did you do that? Why couldn't you see me happy?" I hissed, clenching my jaw. Right here, I decided to take his life. All these years, my Reyna was innocent. I couldn't fathom how she must have felt.

"I didn't know the entire truth. I just knew that she was a traitor, and you had no proof to clear her name, so I thought I was helping." Jeffrey began to break down, and although I raised my fist to deliver another hard punch to knock the sense out of him, I stopped briefly.

"Why? Why would you think that innocent girl was a traitor?" I yelled, shaking his body while still holding onto his collar.

"Because Tara told me, he finished, and my frown dissolved. Instead, I stared at him bluntly.

"It's true that I lied to you, but I was given these weird justifications for my lie, I was just a random werewolf when Tara sneakily introduced me to your pack. I wasn't sure how I would survive, but then I met you and you gave me the task to deliver the truth. Tara told me Reyna was not an honest person and that she had seen Reyna cheat on you. I believed her and decided to take matters into

my own hands to be helpful. But what I didn't know was that Tara had used me to break you two apart," he stammered in one breath, his head barely up as he lacked energy.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Why would you believe some random she-wolf's words against a Luna queen?" I hissed.

"She wasn't some random she-wolf to me. She was my ex," the minute he said that, I dropped his body as I freed his collars.

"What?"

"That ex who she claimed had cheated on her?" I asked.

"I didn't know that's what she said about me. When she broke things off with me, she told me that her friend Reyna had started a campaign against me. That she couldn't see Tara happy because she wasn't happy herself. Tara then told me that if we could take care of the traitor and she goes away, we would be able to rekindle our love and that her father would accept me after Reyna is gone. She claimed Reyna was filling her father's ears against me. I believed it and did whatever I thought was necessary until Reyna was held on trial and Tara got engaged to you. It was in that moment that I realized something was wrong. But then things escalated. The very next day is when I found out that Reyna had lost her child and had been kicked out of the pack. After that, I was scared to open my mouth. And then Tara was blackmailing me with the fact that I delivered the wrong data. She would always demand me to find out what you guys are doing and all," he was whimpering, but he had no clue what he had stolen from me.

"If

you were truly honest about why you wanted Reyna gone, you should have come to me and told me that you had heard she was planning to backstab me. Your main focus was to get rid of her because Tara told you she had been filling her father's ears," I said as I stepped back from him,

"I can't even fathom what you two went through because of me. But that's why I don't want to take the cure. I can't live like this anymore; just let me die by the hands of Samuel," he insisted, and when I stared into his eyes, I realized he was being honest

However, he was still the reason why I couldn't be there for my son and my Luna queen. Hence, I decided on a perfect punishment for him. I grabbed his head and pulled his neck back as I placed the knife on his throat.

"Please kill me for the treachery against you and the Luna queen."
