Sophia’s POV
I woke up when I felt soft kisses being placed on my neck. I smiled and lifted my hand to tangle my fingers into Hunter’s hair.
“Good morning, Angel,” he mumbled, his voice quiet and raspy.
My lower belly tingled and I had to hold back a moan. He could make all sorts of funny things happen inside just by speaking.
I opened my eyes and saw him smiling at . My heart fluttered and I felt like I was lting.
“Waking up next to you is the most amazing thing I ever experienced,” he said as he leaned in and placed a soft kiss on my lips.
I kissed him back and smiled. I completely agreed with him. Nothing could ever be as amazing as waking up with his lips pressed against my neck.
“I hope that we will get to do that all the ti,” I said quietly.
Hunter cupped my cheeks and looked at sternly.
“We will, Sophia,” he said. “I am never sleeping without you again.”
He leaned in and kissed . I smiled and placed my hand on top of his.
“As soon as you are feeling a bit better we will go to our pack,” he continued. “We have a lot to do. We have to plan a Luna ceremony. I need everyone to know that you are mine.”
I smiled and gave him a small nod.
“I can’t wait to do all that with you,” I said softly.
I still wasn’t ready to leave my pack, though. I needed just a little bit more ti. I missed my family so much and I wanted to spend a few days with them before I left. I wanted to spend so ti with Lex. I couldn’t leave him yet.
I furrowed my eyebrows and bit my lower lip. I had to let Hunter know that I needed a few more days with my family. I hoped that he wouldn’t be upset.
“I would like to stay here for a few days, though,” I added quietly. “I missed my family. I missed Lex. I can’t just leave him again. He needs . I need him. I...”
Hunter stopped by pressing his lips against mine. I took a deep breath of his scent and let it soothe .
“I know, Angel,” he said softly as he pulled back and caressed my cheek. “We can stay for as long as you want to. My dad will take care of the pack. I will take care of everything, don’t worry.”
He leaned in to place another small kiss on my lips. I couldn’t hold back a smile.
“Besides, I am not crazy enough to take you away from Alex just yet,” Hunter added, rolling his eyes playfully. “He would bite my head off.”
I chuckled and ran my fingers through his hair.
“He probably would,” I said, shaking my head and smiling.
Hunter caressed my cheek and took a deep breath.
“He missed you a lot,” Hunter said quietly. “He was so scared.”
He gulped and closed his eyes.
“I was so scared,” he added so quietly that I barely heard him.
My heart clenched painfully. I couldn’t even imagine what they were going through. They didn’t deserve any of it.
“I am so sorry,” I said, my voice laced with pain. “I am so sorry.”
I couldn’t co up with anything else to say. I didn’t know what to say other than how sorry I was.
“It wasn’t your fault, my love,” Hunter said, leaning his forehead against mine. “It wasn’t your fault.”
But it was. It was my fault. If I just fought harder the darkness wouldn’t be able to take over. If I just tried harder none of this would happen.
I was just about to tell him that when I got a mind-link from Lex.
Fia? He called , his voice laced with an emotion I couldn’t recognize.
Yes? I mind-linked him back imdiately.
Can you and Hunter co downstairs, please? He asked and my heart raced.
Was sothing wrong? I could hear the worry in his voice and it made my stomach twist.
Is everything okay? I asked him.
Co downstairs, okay? He responded and my heart jumped in my throat.
Sothing was wrong.
“Lex asked us to co downstairs,” I mumbled quietly, trying to keep my voice from shaking.
“Is everything okay?” Hunter asked and I shrugged.
I was so nervous that I got up imdiately. I had to go downstairs and talk to Lex. I had to know what was wrong. I grabbed the first hoodie I could get my hands on. I didn’t even remove the shirt I slept in. I didn’t care. I had to get to Lex.
“Slow down, Sophia,” Hunter said as he got out of bed and approached .
My hands were shaking as I was pulling a hoodie over my head. Hunter helped get it on. He had a worried look on his face.
“He probably just wants to see you,” Hunter said. “I’m sure that nothing is wrong.”
I couldn’t take that chance. I rushed out of my bedroom as soon as I pulled my sweats up.
“Shoes, Sophia!” Hunter yelled after .
I didn’t have ti for shoes. I heard Hunter curse and follow after .
My heart was pounding in my chest as I raced downstairs. I could hear my parents’ quiet voices. My eyes fell on Lex who was sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. I knew imdiately that sothing was very wrong and my heart stopped beating.
“Lex?” I called him as I rushed toward him.
He looked up imdiately and reached for . I sat next to him and pulled him into a hug.
“What happened?!” I exclaid, my voice laced with panic. “Are you okay?! Are you hurt?!”
If he was hurt...
“I am okay, Fia,” Lex said quietly, but I didn’t believe him.
Sothing was wrong and if he didn’t tell what...
“What the hell happened?!” I heard Hunter’s voice.
“Sit down, Hunter,” I heard my mom say softly. “We need to tell you sothing.”
My heart raced and I tried to let go of Lex so I could look at my mom. He didn’t let , though. He tightened his arms around and pressed against his chest. The fear inside exploded.
Was sothing wrong with Lex?!
