Alpha Hunter

Chapter 139

Hunter:

I didn’t need any army with me. I was so pumped up and also drunk that my brain stopped working for a moment. All I could think about was the text messages. If I didn’t bring her home now, she would be double–marked, and that would be dangerous for her health

“I knew I was right,” I dashed towards the basement of the mansion where the warriors kept weapons. I grabbed a gun with silver bullets and some wolfbane powder. I also swapped my belt for one with secret compartments for small silver knives and wolfbane.

After I was ready, I didn’t even think about waking anyone up because I just needed to be there before 5 am. The intoxication was bad, and also because I didn’t have a wolf active at the moment, I was more like a human getting intoxicated by alcohol.

Once I was out of the mansion, I reached for the car but felt my head spinning.

“Come here,” I pointed at my guard, who rushed over, but before he could come any nearer, I watched Jeffrey walk onto the property. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Huh? What are you doing here?” I dismissed the guard I had initially called to have a word with Jeffrey.

“I heard about everything, so I rushed back to the pack. I saw the interview and was worried about your health,” obviously, he knew how crazy I was for Reyna. He was aware that the interview must have broken me entirely.

“And where are you heading in this state?” Jeffrey questioned, examining me quickly. He had been busy taking care of pack matters and business while I was dealing with losing Reyna,

“I am going to get her back,” my statement caused him to quickly put his hand on the door to make sure I don’t get into the car before I have a word with him.

“Hunter! What do you mean by that? Did you not see the interview?” he slid between me and the car door, shaking his head.

“No! You don’t get it. That interview was fake,” I said, attempting to get past him to reach for the door again.

“Hunter! You should not go there. What if they are waiting for you to come and attack you? Jeffrey was probably right that Samuel was waiting for me to come. But what did that mean? I will not go to save Reyna?

“Jeffery, Reyna reached out to me, and she seems so scared,” the minute I told him that, his body language changed. He seemed concerned now.

“How did she reach out to you and when was it?” he began to question.

“I don’t have time to tell you everything. I am already late. By 5 am, Samuel plans to mark her by force. I need to go there,” I stated, and finally pushed him aside to get into the driver’s seat when I was reminded once again that I couldn’t drive while I am so drunk.

“Hey! Then let me come with you,” thankfully, Jeffrey understood that no matter what he says, I am leaving to go get Reyna.

I nodded my head and jumped in the passenger seat while Jeffrey started driving

“Now please fill me in. Why aren’t we taking guards with us?” he questioned while I had my head resting against the seat. I was panicking and worried about what Samuel might be planning to do to Reyna once he marks her.

“She messaged me and told me that they will attack her the minute they see me coming into the rogue community with my guards, I declared and noticed that Jeffrey slowed down near the border.

“Then don’t you think we should travel by foot or maybe transition?” Jeffrey stopped the car at the border as he turned to face me

“No! I cannot transition. After that whole battle with Samuel and his people, I just couldn’t get my wolf again, I conveyed the news to him, and he seemed shocked

“So you are going there by yourself when you know they are waiting for you?” Jeffrey almost raised his voice but lowered his volume the minute he saw me touch my ears in pain. I was drunk and also anxious, so I was highly bothered by every little activity.

“Samuel! There is no other way. If I could sneak inside and find Reyna, maybe we will be able to escape,” I said as I reckoned going there with a whole bunch of army would be deadly as they have Reyna with them.

“Okay, fine, but I will come with you,” Jeffrey insisted, and I gave him a nod

But y

you will have to return in the middle. I don’t want you to get your life in danger,” I warned him, and while he nodded, I couldn’t be sure if he listened to me.

“Now! Let’s do something. I know some shortcuts through the woods, so let’s go through the woods. We will have plenty of time, so going by foot is better. The car will be easy to spot, Jeffrey made a good point.

However, there was a tiny bit of a problem; I was drunk. We got out of the car and crossed the border. Throughout the time we were talking, I was dizzy. However, by 2 am, I felt like the alcohol was wearing off, but that made it even worse because now I wanted to

take a nap.

“Hunter! You can take a little rest, Jeffrey mumbled, suggesting it because I could barely stand on my feet anymore,

“I am fine, I am just very sleepy now,” I rubbed my eyes when Jeffrey held my hand and pulled me down, making me sit against the

tree.

“Just take a r

nap for ten minutes; I will wake you up. I promise,” he insisted, but the minute I tried getting up, I sat down again because of a head rush.

“Hunter! You cannot g go there like this. Do you want to miss the opportunity of saving her?” he was right. I mean, we have been walking for hours now. We left the pack around 10, and now it was 2 am,

“But please

e wake n

me up, okay?” I asked him before I closed my eyes. I instantly dozed off, and it made sense.

I don’t know how much time had passed when I felt a little shake on my arm, and I began to wake up

“Hunter! Are you feeling good now?” It was Jeffrey smiling at me, holding a water bottle in his hand that he previously had in his bag as he had returned from a business trip when he arrived at the mansion.

“I feel much better,” I didn’t lie and grabbed the water from him. But the minute I sipped through it, my eyes landed on his watch, and the world shook under my feet.

“It is 3 am now? Jeffrey, why did you let me sleep for so long?” I couldn’t believe he lied to me. He knew how important every single

second had been for us.

“Hey! You were not waking up, so I let you sleep for a while. It is not like we are far away from his castle. We are only five minutes away, and you needed to feel fine before you go on such an important mission,” once he explained to me why he did that, I rubbed my hands over my face and faced him.

“Thank you. I don’t think I would have been able to cover that journey on my own,” I patted his shoulder and got up.

Although I felt much better, I was still upset that I didn’t have m

my wolf with me when I was on such an important mission.

“Let’s go now,” I said, and Jeffrey followed me. We were able to cross the gates easily because the guards were busy sitting far away

and drinking.

“You should head back to the pack now,” I turned to say it to Jeffery, but he shook his head reluctantly.

“I’m not leaving you here on your own,” Jeffery uttered, but sounded determined.

“I’m on a suicide mission here. I don’t want your life to be in danger because of my decisions,” I held his hand, stopping him from stepping forward with me.

“Hunter please! I need to do this for myself. I need to be loyal to you. Just don’t ask me any questions and let me tag along,” he was very persistent so I had no choice but to agree with him and let him come with me.

As we made our way to the castle, we began to notice a few things.

“There are no guards anywhere?” Jeffrey uttered, making his way all the way to the backside of the castle.

“That is weird,” I admitted it was a little odd. And then the worst thing was right before our eyes when we watched the backdoor fully

ajar.

“Huh?” Jeffrey stopped dead in his tracks,

“What is going on?” I gulped, taking a few steps forward when I watched Samuel come out from the door, and soon the guards started to emerge out of nowhere with their guns.

“Reyna was right, she could lure you here without any trouble. See! We even left the door open for you,” Samuel declared, sinking my heart in my chest when he explained the texts were from Reyna to make me come right where Samuel wanted me to be.
