I tightened my jaw and took a deep breath.

I heard the office door open and I looked behind me.

“Fia!” I exclaimed as I rushed to her and pulled her into a hug.

She was okay. She wasn’t hurt. She was alive.

CHAPTER TWELVE – Who Is She?

Hunter’s POV

I entered the bedroom, closed the door, and took a deep breath.

I could still taste her on my lips. I could still feel her skin under my fingerprints. Her scent was still in my lungs.

I was head over heels in love and I would fight for her until my last breath.

I thought that my heart would break when she said that she needed a little bit of time to figure everything out. I didn’t know why. She wanted me as much as I wanted her. I could tell. I knew it.

‘It’s because of her family,’Holden sighed.

‘I know,’I mumbled.‘But Luna Emma doesn’t have a problem with it.’

‘Her father and brother do,’Holden growled.‘They will try to take her from us.’

I could feel his anger growing. He was possessive. He was territorial.

‘Of course I am,’Holden sighed.‘I am a wolf. I am an Alpha wolf and she is mine.’

‘I know, Holden,’I said.‘Everything would be okay. We will give her some time to talk to her parents. She wants us.’

‘She does,’Holden agreed.‘I talked to her wolf. They both want us.’

I smiled and leaned against the door. I ran a finger over my lips, remembering how fucking good she tasted.

She was mine. Sophia was mine.

My smile grew. My heart felt like it had grown double ever since I saw her for the first time. I felt stronger. I was happier. Everything was better because I found her.

‘You need to call your parents,’Holden said, making me tense up.

“Fuck,” I mumbled as I leaned my head against the door and closed my eyes.

‘They will be thrilled, Hunter,’Holden said.

‘I hope so,’I mumbled as I opened my eyes and took a deep breath.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone.

A wave of nervousness washed over me. What would my parents say? What if they reacted the same way Alpha Logan did?

Would it be bad if I called them tomorrow?

‘Just call them, Hunter,’Holden sighed.‘They will be pissed off if you hide it from them.’

I sighed and unlocked my phone. Holden was right.

‘I am always right,’he said, making me roll my eyes.
