Alpha Hunter

Chapter 25

Reyna Cruz:

“Excuse us, please, Jeffrey apologized, while Hunter gestured for me to follow them outside. I was still in shock from what I had just heard. I trailed behind them, feeling miserable and keeping my head down, lost in thoughts about our encounters.

It now made sense why he was in the woods and why his wolf was so powerful. But throughout that time, couldn’t he have mentioned even once that he was a rogue king? It wouldn’t have changed my decision, but I wouldn’t have made those ridiculous comments about him in front of him.

As the shock of remembering those statements hit me, I found myself under the scrutiny of Hunter and Jeffrey.

“What were you doing?” Jeffrey asked more kindly, taking charge as he noticed Hunter’s inclination to question me.

“… I was trying to make him feel comfortable,” I stuttered, avoiding eye contact.

“By dragging him?” Hunter retorted.

“I wasn’t dragging him. I was offering to help him with his coat, I corrected him with a more elaborate lie. They would be fools to believe my words.

“It seemed like you were forcibly undressing him,” Hunter hissed, and I cleared my throat.

“It’s my way of being friendly, okay? Now, you do realize that he might get suspicious about why we’re not with him and having a private discussion outside the office. He might think we’re gossiping about him, I shrugged, trying to divert their attention. The two looked at me with the same puzzled

expression one might have when witnessing someone acting strangely around someone they’ve just met.

“She’s right; he must be wondering where we went,” Jeffrey sided with me, knowing that we were wasting time on this conversation. There was no way I could explain my behavior to them. However, Hunter appeared displeased, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes narrowed at me as if he’d caught me cheating on him. Well, he hadn’t, and I believed he was angry because he didn’t want to upset his friend, business partner, or whatever Samuel was.

Finally breaking his gaze, Hunter nodded in agreement, leading the way. Facing Samuel again was going to be awkward, especially when I thought he had come here to plead for my acceptance.

Are we going to talk about it or not?‘ Nera’s anxious voice echoed within me.

‘Let’s wait a little.‘ I uttered, taking a deep breath and planning to deal with the meeting first. Stepping back into the office, I was surprised to see Samuel standing by the large window, his coat off, and the file from my bag in his hand.

“He went through my stuff, I muttered to Jeffrey, who looked just as lost as I did.

“He never usually does anything like that. I guess this is what you get for going through his coat, Jeffrey commented a little playfully, making me unfurl the lines from my forehead and watch him with my lips forming a straight line..

“I am so sorry for earlier. How are you? The way Hunter uttered the words and then stepped ahead for a hug with a huge smile on his lips made my heart twist inside my chest.

“They’re best friends,” Jeffrey whispered as he observed my bewilderment.

Wonderful! Was there any other shock awaiting me!

“You already know Jeffrey, and this is the copywriter you hired and requested for,” Hunter pointed at me but quickly diverted attention by gesturing to the file in Samuel’s hand. “You already read it?”

“Not yet, Samuel’s response was brief because his attention was still on me. “Ena CI Reyna Cruz Samuel smiled when

I glanced around at the two of them lanking at me and then forced a smile onto my lips.

Tam line. Thank you for asking and for hiring me” I replied. Slowly, the worry about my position in the company began to creep in Was it a coincidence that I was requested by the rogue king, who turned out to be my second chance mate?

“Why don’t we have a seat and talk about the project? Reyna is really good at presenting her projects, Jeffrey praised me when all I wanted was to become invisible.

“Nure, I would love to hear Reyna talk,” I almost choked on my dry saliva at his choice of words. Hunter was becoming suspicious of our interaction, with his head down, glaring at us through his eyebrows.

The next two hours were extremely difficult for me. I had never been in a situation where two attractive men were glaring at me while I gave a presentation, pretending Flad not felt a mate bound with either of them in my life.

“I liked it. I would like to suggest some changes, but let’s leave it for some other day, Samuel straightened his back, giving me a look that indicated he wasn’t impressed. He was starting to get

on my nerves.

“Reynal Where do you live? His question froze me just as I got up to pack my stull.

Before I could respond, he added, “Either I will come to your place, or I will send you my address. We can talk about the changes; no need to bother these two with this project.”

A shiver ran up iny spine while Fuster shook his head to make sure he heard him right.

“What do you mean by bothering us? This is part of our job, I don’t mind. Let’s discuss the changes now,” Hunter smiled with force, attempting to sound playful, but I noticed the clenching of his jaw, I bet he was afraid I would take all the credit for this project. He wanted to be a part of it to keep bothering me

“Hat you have other matters to take care of as well. It is fine for us. I haven’t seen Reyna’s house from the inside. I mean, she is a rogue, so I would want to visit my people’s house to see how they are doing, Samuel looked a little taken aback by Hunter’s sudden objection. I wasn’t even talking anymore. It wasn’t like I could tell him to not come to my house. He is a fucking rogue king

“That makes sense. I will accompany you to her home. The thing is, she visited our pack yesterday, but I haven’t seen her home either, We are working together, so I assume it is a good idea to visit each other’s homes now, I could sense the tension in Hunter’s voice, but then be awkwardly straightened his posture and added, “How does 7 pm tomorrow sound?”

Even Samuel didn’t know how to respond to him. I bet Samuel wanted to come to my home to bother me. One could tell he was enjoying watching me look awkward.

“Sure, Samuel nodded with a smile, and now their eyes were fixed on me.

Since I wanted to get it over with, I too nodded, “Okay!”

I don’t know what was going on in my life, but everything was getting tangled, and I didn’t know how to solve these issues.

I glanced around at the two of them looking at me and then forced a smile onto my lips.
