But someone stopped me. Someone grabbed me before I could get to my angel. Someone didn’t want me to go to her.

I growled loudly. I was going to rip them apart.

CHAPTER EIGHT – Mate?

Sophia’s POV

“Come on, Fia,” my brother sighed. “We are late.”

I turned around to look at him. He was leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed over his chest.

“Why are you waiting for me?” I asked. “You can go downstairs. I will be there soon.”

Lex rolled his eyes at me. “I am not leaving you alone. Hurry up.”

“Fine,” I mumbled as I bent down to zip up my boots.

I was a little bit nervous. Stella kept stirring and I could feel the tension radiating off her.

‘What’s wrong?’I asked her for what felt like a millionth time today.

‘I don’t know,’she mumbled.‘Hurry up, Sophia.’

I furrowed my eyebrows and stood back up.

Why was she so nervous? Why was she hurrying me up?

“Done?” Lex asked, making me look at him.

I nodded and took a deep breath.

“What’s wrong?” he asked and I could hear a hint of worry in his voice.

“I don’t know,” I mumbled. “I’m a little bit nervous.”

I approached my brother and he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

“Don’t be, Fia,” he said, giving me a small smile. “You can leave whenever you want to, okay?”

I nodded and smiled back at him.

Lex moved his arm away from my shoulders and took my hand in his. He led me toward the stairs. The further we walked, the more Stella stirred.

What the hell was wrong with her?

“Why is Stella so tense?” Lex asked, looking down at me.

Axel probably told him.

“I don’t know,” I mumbled. “She’s been like that the whole morning.”

Lex furrowed his eyebrows and squeezed my hand tighter.

I took a deep breath as we started walking down the stairs.

Something smelt nice. Was it a new air refresher? It smelt like coffee and vanilla. I took a deep breath, letting the scent soothe me. My mom chose well this time. Those were my two favorite scents.

Lex and I were almost at the bottom of the stairs when Stella stirred and whined.
