Hunter’s POV
I was staring at her and I couldn’t look away.
My mind kept replaying that hot make-out scene that happened in this room last night. She was so fucking perfect and I wanted to do it again. I wanted more. I wanted to make her mine.
My eyes fell on her beautiful neck. I remembered how I sucked and kissed it. I remembered the taste of her skin. I couldn’t wait to see my mark on her neck. I couldn’t wait for the rest of the world to see that she was mine.
“Stop staring at me like that,” she mumbled, making me look up at her beautiful face.
“Like what?” I asked, faking innocence.
She raised an eyebrow at me, making me smirk.
“I can’t help it,” I said. “I need to repeat that make-out session from last night.”
She blushed and glanced at the wall behind me.
“We could use the wall again,” I said, chuckling. “Or maybe even a bed this time.”
Her eyes widened and I saw her gulp. I wanted to tease her some more, but I heard footsteps approaching the office.
I smiled at her and she took a deep breath.
Goddess, she was fucking perfect.
The office door opened and I saw her brother walk inside. He glared at me before he approached Sophia.
“Are you okay, Fia?” he asked her softly as he kissed the top of her head.
She looked up at him and smiled. “I am okay.”
Her brother smiled at her before he looked at me. His smile disappeared and he gave me a stern look.
“Hello, Alexander,” I said, giving him a small smile.
“Alpha Hunter,” he mumbled quietly.
He glanced down at his sister, sighed, and rolled his eyes. She probably mind-linked him.
“How are the meetings going?” I asked, making Alexander look back at me.
“Everything is going great,” he said. “Dad said to take as much time as we need.”
I nodded and smiled at him.
He and I took a little break from participating in the gathering so we could talk to a witch called Anna. Sophia said that I needed to hear everything before I made my decision. I already knew what I wanted. Nothing that Anna could say would make me want my mate less. I would accept her no matter what. I would help her deal with everything.
Alexander looked back at Sophia. She smiled at him and he squeezed her shoulders lightly. I knew how important he was to Sophia and I wanted to have a good relationship with him. I was glad to see that he was protective of her. It only meant that she had people around her who cared and wanted her safe.
“Are you sure about this, Fia?” Alexander asked her. “You don’t have to do this.”
“I told her the same thing,” I answered instead of her, making them both look at me. “I told her that I want her no matter what.”
Alexander tightened his jaw.
“You deserve to know everything, Hunter,” Sophia said softly. “I don’t want you to regret anything.”
I looked at her and my heart clenched painfully. Did she think that I would ever regret this?
“I would never regret you, Sophia,” I said. “Nothing will make me want you less. I already told you that.”
She gulped and looked up at Alexander. He had a stern look on his face and he was staring at me.
“I am in love with your sister, Alexander,” I said. “I want her. I don’t care about our parents or her magic. I will help her with it all. I am not giving up on her.”
Alexander took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes a little.
“Your dad is a whole other issue I won’t be discussing right now,” he said. “Let’s just focus on dealing with this first.”
I clenched my fists tightly. Would they ever trust that my dad had changed?
The office door opened and Luna Emma walked inside followed by an older lady who had a small smile on her face.
Luna Emma approached Alexander and Sophia. She smiled and hugged them both.
“Hello, Alpha Hunter,” the older woman said politely. “My name is Anna. It is nice to finally meet you.”
Her smile relaxed me. She was the first one who wasn’t careful around me or who didn’t look at me like I was responsible for what happened 18 years ago.
“Hi, Anna,” I said, smiling back at her. “It is nice to meet you too.”
She smiled at me and looked at my mate.
“Hi, Soph,” she said softly. “How are you today?”
She sat down beside me and patted my knee gently.
“Kind of nervous,” Sophia mumbled, making my heart clench.
I looked at her and gave her a soft smile. I wanted to take her into my arms, but I knew that her brother wouldn’t like that very much.
“There is no need to be nervous, Sophia,” I said softly. “Nothing will make me want you less.”
I said that to her a million times and I would repeat it a million more. I would repeat it until she believed me. If she was the darkest creature on this planet, she would be my darkest creature and I wouldn’t let her go.
“What do you know about her magic?” Anna asked, making me look back at her.
“I know that she is powerful,” I said. “I know that she has both light and dark magic.”
Anna nodded. “Anything else?”
“I know that it’s unpredictable,” I said.
Anna glanced at Sophia and nodded again.
“It is,” she said quietly. “It is unpredictable and it is powerful. We’ve been trying to contain it, but it always finds a way to come out.”
I took a deep breath and released it slowly.
“Can she get rid of it?” I asked.
“I’ve never tried,” Sophia said, making me look back at her. “Every time I let just a small part of it out, it kills a part of my light magic.”
My eyes widened.
“What are you saying?” I mumbled.
“She is saying that the darkness would take over her completely if she let it out,” Alexander said, making my heart stop beating.
