“Really?” he asked, his voice trembling.
I nodded and gave him a small smile.
“Oh, Goddess,” he mumbled as he pulled me into a tight hug. “I already imagined you leaving me. I had this vision in my head of you rejecting me and telling me to get out. I almost had a heart attack.”
I turned my head and placed a soft kiss on his neck.
“I couldn't do that,” I said quietly.
Just thinking about saying the word “reject” was painful. I simply couldn't do it.
He buried his nose into my hair and took a deep breath.
“I am so fucking in love with you, Angel,” he said quietly. “I can’t believe how lucky I am to have you.”
I smiled and kissed his neck again.
“I am so fucking in love with you too,” I mumbled, making him lift his head.
He smiled at me and pressed his lips against mine.
He ran his hand down my body, making me squirm and press myself closer to him.
He was just about to grab my butt again when the front door opened.
“Fia?” my brother called me, making Hunter sigh.
“I can’t wait for us to be alone,” he said as he stopped kissing me. “The first thing I am going to do when we go back to our pack is take you on a vacation. I will sink my canines into your perfect little neck and I will make you mine in every way possible. Most importantly, there will be no one there to disturb us.”
I chuckled and nodded.
“I can’t wait,” I said, making him grin widely.
He pecked my lips again before he unwrapped his hands from me and stood up.
I had to hold back a whine. I already missed him.
CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE – Two Days
Alexander’s POV
I was nervous.
I didn’t want to leave Fia alone, but I had to go to the packhouse.
“Fia?!” I called her again when she didn’t answer me.
“Coming,” she said quietly and I was relieved.
I didn’t like leaving her alone after she had one of her episodes. The darkness could always come back, and I didn’t know how she would handle it without me here.
I saw her walking down the stairs and I breathed out in relief.
“Are you okay?” I asked as I pulled her closer so I could see her face better. “Did it happen again?”
I was scared as fuck.
It was never as bad as it was this morning. I always knew that she would be able to push the darkness back. This morning was the first time I wasn’t sure of it.
