“We need to stop,” he mumbled, making me freeze.

Why? Did I do something wrong?

He lifted his head and cupped my cheek.

“Did I do something wrong?” I mumbled, my voice trembling. “I am sorry, I didn’t…”

He shut me up by kissing me hard. I tried to hold back a moan, but it was impossible. He knew what he was doing, and my body just surrendered to him.

“Goddess, Sophia, no,” he mumbled as he stopped kissing me. “We have to stop because if we don’t I am going to end up fucking you, and we are not there yet.”

My heart skipped a beat. My breath got caught in my throat.

“Don’t ever think that you did something wrong, my love,” he said softly. “We will learn what to do together.”

I gave him a small smile and he kissed me again.

A thought came to me. If he said that we would learn together, that meant that he’d never been with anyone else either. Right?

I needed to ask him, though. I needed confirmation. I needed him to tell me that he wasn’t with anyone else. Just the thought of him with another girl had my insides twisting painfully.

“Have you ever been with someone?” I asked him quietly.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. Guilt flashed in his eyes and my heart stopped beating.

I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t breathe. I could only stare into his guilt-filled eyes.

He did. He was with someone else. Was she his girlfriend? Was she waiting for him back in his pack? Was their relationship serious?

My mind was a complete mess and I felt the first sign of darkness creeping around in my chest.

I tried to push it back, but all I could focus on was the pain in my heart.

He had someone else. He loved someone else.

“Is she waiting for you in your pack?” I asked him, my voice laced with pain.

I could feel the tears forming in my eyes.

His eyes widened. He gasped and cupped my cheeks.

“No!” he exclaimed, panicking. “We were never in a relationship. I’ve never had sex with her. We were two stupid teenagers who fooled around a little. We did some oral stuff, but that was it. She is nothing, Sophia. She found her mate and she is happy with him. I am happy for her. He is a nice man, and she deserves a nice man. She is a very nice person. That’s all she ever was to me. A nice person, a good friend.”

He was rambling now. I could hear the panic in his voice.

“Fuck, my dad told me that I was going to regret it,” he mumbled as he closed his eyes and shook his head.

He opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

“I am sorry, Angel,” he said as he leaned his forehead against mine. “If I could take it back, I would. I made a mistake and I am so fucking sorry. You are everything that I want and need.”

I took a deep breath and ran my fingers through his hair.

It hurt to know that another girl had him before me, but there was nothing I could have done. I could only accept it.

“It’s okay,” I said, trying to keep the pain out of my voice. “It’s in the past.”

Hunter lifted his head and I could see tears in his eyes.
