Hunter’s POV
My family was a bit surprised but thrilled that I found my mate. I could tell that my dad struggled with the idea of Emma’s daughter being my mate, but he was happy for .
A huge smile spread across my face. I’d never been happier. I understood Sophia’s need to take a little bit of ti to think everything through, but I knew everything would work out.
I stood up and walked toward the door. I needed to go find her. I already missed her. I wanted to spend so more ti with her and get to know her a bit better. We both wanted to talk to our families, but now that that was done, I was more than ready to spend so ti with my mate. I could maybe even kiss her again.
‘You have to kiss her again,’ Holden sighed longingly.
I chuckled and stepped out into the hallway.
I assud that Sophia was in her mom’s office. I left her there less than half an hour ago.
I had a huge smile as I approached Luna Emma’s office. Her scent was strong here and it relaxed imdiately. I took a deep breath, enjoying the shivers that went up and down my spine.
I was just in front of Alpha Logan’s office when I heard sothing that made furious.
I barely managed to keep Holden from coming out and tearing the whole place down.
“I still think that there is a chance he could be her cursed mate,” a voice said.
Cursed mate?!
As in not real?! Soone thought that there was another man out there that would try to take her from ?!
Cursed like my father was Luna Emma’s cursed mate?!
My heart raced and my vision blackened.
No!
Fuck no!
She was mine and I was hers! There wasn’t anyone else who could claim her. There wasn’t another man who could take her from .
Before I even realized what I was doing, I burst through the door, growling and glaring at everyone inside.
“She. Is. Mine!” I exclaid, emphasizing every word.
They were staring at wide-eyed. No one spoke a word.
“I am not her cursed mate!” I shouted as my body started shaking. “She is mine and won’t let you take her away from !”
“Alpha Hunter, no one is trying to take her from you,” Luna Emma spoke softly.
I didn’t believe her.
Did they tell Sophia that I could be her cursed mate? Did she think that too?
Holden whined. My heart broke. I felt like sothing heavy was sitting on my chest.
I looked around the room for the first ti since I barged in. My Angel wasn’t here. Where was she?
“Where is she?” I asked as the lump in my throat grew.
I looked back at Luna Emma.
“She is in my office,” she said softly. “She is with her brother.”
“She is mine,” I told her. “This isn’t a curse. You broke it. This can’t be a curse.”
Luna Emma approached and took my hand in hers. Soone growled quietly.
I felt the anger inside grow. These people didn’t trust . They would never trust .
“I am sorry, Alpha Hunter,” Luna Emma said softly. “We are all just a little bit shocked and scared.”
Why were they scared? I would never hurt Sophia. Goddess, just thinking about hurting her was painful.
“I would never hurt her,” I mumbled, trying to swallow the lump in my throat.
I couldn’t decide which emotion was dominating. I was both equally angry and sad.
“Maybe you wouldn’t, but your father might,” soone said, making look up.
It was Sophia’s cousin. He was staring at with a pissed-off look on his face.
The anger started winning over.
“My father would never hurt her,” I said, clenching my free fist. “He would never do sothing like that to .”
“Your father almost killed my mom and !” the man shouted, taking a step closer to .
I saw fucking red. I let Luna Emma’s hand go and took a step closer to the man.
“My father changed,” I growled. “He isn’t the sa man anymore. He was cursed. He would have never done it if he wasn’t.”
Soone pulled back. Another man stood between Sophia’s cousin and . The man pushed Sophia’s cousin back.
“We are not going to do this,” a man holding said sternly.
I looked behind and saw it was Alpha Logan.
He let go and gave a stern look.
“I will not allow him to insult my father,” I said, clenching my fists.
“I am sorry, Alpha Hunter, but your father almost killed my mother,” the man said, making look back at him. “I can’t have respect for that man. I can’t trust him or you.”
My heart clenched painfully. Did Sophia feel like that too? Did she also think that my father was a horrible person?
“My dad changed,” I said. “He turned his life around. He is a good person and a great father. I am so sorry for what happened, but he would never hurt anyone. He would never hurt Sophia.”
I could see Sophia’s cousin’s jaw twitching. He clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
“Mason, honey, I know that you are worried and scared, but we can’t judge Alpha Hunter based on his father’s mistakes,” a woman said softly.
I looked at her and I could tell that she was Mason’s mother. So she was the woman my father threatened.
“Hunter?” I heard my Angel’s voice and I turned around abruptly.
I didn’t even hear her approaching the office. I was so focused on my anger and pain that I didn’t even hear my mate coming.
Her voice and her presence took every ache away.
I rushed toward her, pulling her into my arms. The tingles and sparks made shiver. Her scent surrounded and I relaxed imdiately.
“What happened?” she asked softly as she rubbed my back gently.
Her touch was all I needed to calm down.
I couldn’t even answer her. I closed my eyes and buried my nose in her hair. I took a deep breath and let her scent fill my lungs.
