Sophia’s POV
Alex opened the car door and pulled out even before Hunter managed to stop fully. I chuckled and hugged him back tightly. I missed him.
“The car was still moving, Alex,” I heard Hunter grunt angrily.
Alex just growled at him.
“Are you okay?” Alex asked . “Is it back? Can you feel it? Are you in pain?”
I rubbed his back and shook my head.
“I am okay,” I said. “I can’t feel it yet.”
Alex sighed in relief and let go. He looked up and down and I saw him relax a little after he was sure that I was okay.
I looked behind him and smiled at my parents. My mom reached out for and I hugged her tightly.
“Congratulations, honey,” she said quietly. “You have an amazing mate.”
I smiled and nodded. She was right. My mate was the most amazing man in the world.
My dad was on the phone with soone, but he pulled into a tight hug and kissed the top of my head.
“Yes, Mom, she is back,” I heard my dad say and a huge smile spread across my face.
“Is that grandma?” I asked and he nodded.
He gave the phone imdiately and I grabbed it.
“Grandma!” I exclaid excitedly.
I missed her so much. I was so worried about her. My dad didn’t tell much. I knew that her condition worsened and that she was resting at Uncle Drake’s pack. She was there with my aunt and cousins. I was glad, though. I wanted them as far away from this ss as possible.
“Hi, Muffin,” my grandma said softly. “I miss you.”
Tears gathered in my eyes. I missed hearing her call that. She called muffin because I always begged her to make so. I loved them so much and I would eat them until I was sick.
“I miss you too, Grandma,” I said as I felt a tear fall on my cheek. “How are you?”
“A bit better, sweetie,” she said. “Amy and Drake are spoiling . I will have to tell your dad that my standards have gone up.”
I chuckled and looked at my dad. He just shook his head and smiled.
“How is Aunt Daisy?” I asked my grandma. “How are the kids?”
“They are all great, Muffin,” my grandma said. “I feel like a queen. They are spoiling a lot.”
“You deserve it, Grandma,” I said softly. “I want you to be as pampered as possible. We have a lot to gossip about when you co back.”
My grandma laughed and a warm feeling spread around my body. I missed her so much.
“Oh, I can’t wait, Muffin,” she said. “I will be back soon, okay? You won’t be in there for long, I am sure of it. You have an amazing mom who will find a way. I am sure of it.”
I looked at my mom and smiled.
“I know,” I said as I approached my mom and leaned my head on her shoulder. “She is the best.”
My mom smiled and wrapped her arms around . She kissed my forehead and rubbed my back gently.
“Will you put your dad back on the phone, Muffin?” my grandma asked. “I need to talk to him about sothing.”
I looked at my dad and he reached for the phone imdiately.
“Of course, Grandma,” I said. “I love you so much.”
“I love you too, Muffin,” she said softly.
I gave my phone to my dad. He took it from and walked a bit further to talk to my grandma.
“Where are others?” I asked.
“Anna is making lunch,” my mom said as she ran her fingers through my hair. “Hunter’s parents went on a run. It’s been a while since they shifted and their wolves beca anxious. Andrew and Mason are in the room making sure that we didn’t forget anything.”
I nodded and let go of my mom. Alex pulled back to him imdiately. I wrapped my arm around his waist and looked up at him. I smiled and leaned my head on his chest.
“Is the room ready?” I asked and Alex tensed up.
“It is,” he said. “I thought that we could spend the rest of the day together. You can go in there tonight.”
I wanted to go now. I was already on the verge of changing my mind and I knew that it would be harder for to go in there if I stayed with them longer.
“I want to go now, Alex,” I said quietly. “It will be harder later.”
Alex tightened his arms around . I rubbed his back and looked back up at him. The pain I saw on his face almost made whimper. I gave him a reassuring smile.
“I put your favorite blanket in there,” Alex said quietly. “There are more in the closet if you get cold.”
My heart clenched. I nodded and took a deep breath.
“Is there anything else you want to bring you?” Alex asked and I shook my head.
“My blanket is all I need,” I said, giving him another small smile.
The blanket he was talking about was actually his. He borrowed it to when we were kids while I was struggling with a pretty bad darkness attack. I never gave it back to him. It beca my solace and I couldn’t let it go.
Alex leaned in and kissed my forehead. I let him go and looked at my mom.
“Can you give so of your books, Mom?” I asked her. “I would like to make use of my ti in there. Maybe I find sothing.”
My mom gave a small smile and nodded.
“They are already in there, honey,” she said.
I smiled and looked at my dad who approached us.
“Is grandma okay?” I asked and he gave a small smile.
“She is fine, princess,” my dad said as he reached out for . “She just wanted to explain our next steps.”
I nodded as I walked into his arms and hugged him tightly. I took a deep breath and let my dad’s familiar scent soothe .
“Are you ready, honey?” my mom asked and I nodded.
It was ti for to get back in there. I had full confidence that my mom would find a way soon. I had full confidence that I would be back in my family’s arms in just a few short days.
I had to believe it. I couldn’t let myself believe anything else.
I would be back with my family in no ti. I was sure of it.
