I felt eyes on me and I looked to my right.

The world stopped spinning.

A tall, muscular man was standing by the front door. His eyes were fixed on me. My whole body trembled. Stella purred. My scents were overwhelmed by him.

His dark brown eyes sparkled. His muscles clenched. His dark hair was perfect and it looked so soft. I wanted to run my fingers through it. I wanted to bury my nose into it and take a deep breath.

The scent was coming off him.

He was my mate.

Stella’s excitement almost made me jump up and down.

“Mate,” I mumbled at the same time he did.

“Mate?” Lex exclaimed and I could hear the confusion in his voice.

My mate moved. He wanted to approach me. I wanted him to. I wanted to touch him.

A quiet growl escaped me when my dad stopped him. Lex pulled me behind him, and I couldn't see my mate anymore.

“Mate?” I heard my dad’s angry voice.

“Let me go!” my mate spoke, making me shiver. “She is my mate. You can’t keep me from her!”

His voice was deep and pleasurable. It was like velvet, rich and smooth, with a subtle roughness that added a touch of masculinity. His voice made me want to listen and follow. I wanted him to keep talking. I wanted to listen to him forever.

“Get her out of here, Alex,” my dad said, making my heart skip a beat.

No. I didn’t want to go. Why didn’t my dad let my mate come to me?

“Are you fucking kidding me?!” my mate shouted. “You can’t do this!”

I wanted to go to him, but Alex picked me up and rushed upstairs.

“Let me go!” I shouted, trying to get out of my brother’s arms.

His hold on me only tightened.

“Stop it, Sophia,” Lex growled. “You can’t go to him.”

I heard shouting from downstairs. I heard my mate yelling. I heard my dad telling him that he couldn't go to me.

Mom?I mind-linked her.What is going on?

Don’t worry, honey.My mom said calmly.I will talk to your dad. He is just surprised, that’s all.

But why?I asked.Who is he, mom?

I didn’t recognize my mate. I didn’t know who he was.

He is Alpha Hunter.My mom said.He is Alpha Nathan’s son.

My heart stopped beating.

Alpha Nathan’s son? The same man who tried to take my mom away from my dad?

‘Hunter,’Stella purred.
