“Don’t touch her,” I told him quietly. “Step away.”

“Don’t tell me what to do,” the man said angrily. “She is my cousin. I am protecting her from you. I will always protect her from you and everyone else.”

I tightened my jaw.

I was the one who would always protect her. I was the one who would always make sure that she was safe.

“You don’t need to protect her from me,” I said. “I am her mate. She is safe with me.”

“Tell that to your father,” the man said. “He tried to kill my mother and me.”

My eyes widened a little. So this was Beta Andrew's son?

“Mason, please,” my mate said softly.

I wanted to see her. I wanted to touch her.

Holden was on edge and I was barely able to stop him from taking over and ripping everyone apart.

“Let’s give them some time to talk,” Luna Emma said. “Alpha Hunter won’t hurt her.”

I looked at her and smiled a little. I was extremely thankful to her. If she didn’t calm Alpha Logan down, I wouldn't be able to see my mate.

“Are you serious, mom?!” Alex exclaimed angrily. “I am not leaving her alone with him!”

“Yes, you are, Alex,” Luna Emma sighed. “Sophia will be fine.”

Alex tightened his jaw and clenched his fists.

“I won’t hurt her,” I told him.

He approached me and pointed a finger at me.

“If you hurt her, I will fucking kill you,” he threatened me. “I will rip you apart and burn the fucking pieces.”

I believed him, but his threats were unnecessary. I would never hurt her. She was a part of my body and my soul.

Alex walked past me and stormed out of the room.

“Mason, Mike, come on,” Luna Emma said.

“Alex won’t be your only problem if you lay a finger on her,” Mason said as he walked away slowly.

I ignored his threat because I could finally see her.

Goddess, she was so fucking beautiful. She was staring at me and I could tell that she was very nervous. She kept glancing behind me at her parents.

“You have 10 minutes, Alpha Hunter,” I heard Alpha Logan’s voice.

I could hear the door close behind me. We were finally alone.

I smiled at her and she took a deep breath.

I couldn't do this anymore. I approached her in three long strides and I cupped her soft cheeks.

Both of us gasped.

The tingles and sparks were so intense. My body shivered. My heart was racing so fast that I thought it would jump out of my chest. Holden was jumping up and down. I could tell that he was saying something, but I couldn't focus enough to know what.
