“We have a new Luna?” my dad asked, not even allowing me to answer my mom’s question.

“Will she be able to tolerate your annoying ass?” my brother asked, chuckling.

I rolled my eyes. I was going to kick his ass when I came home.

“I will tell you if you allow me to speak,” I sighed.

“Sorry, honey,” my mom said. “We are just so excited.”

I smiled and took a deep breath.

“So, tell us about our new Luna, son,” my dad said. “Who is she?”

I gulped and closed my eyes. I tried to take another deep breath, but I couldn't. It felt like a hand was squeezing my lungs.

“Sophia Carter, daughter of Alpha Logan and Luna Emma,” I said quietly.

The silence on the other end of the call made my stomach turn.

“What did you say?” my dad mumbled after a while.

“Alpha Logan and Luna Emma’s daughter is my mate,” I repeated.

“That’s awesome,” my brother said excitedly. “I heard that she is very pretty.”

He still didn’t know what happened between our dad and Sophia’s parents.

“Mom, dad?” I called them, ignoring my brother.

“We are very happy, honey,” my mom said quietly. “We are just a little bit shocked.”

I understood that.

“Why?” my brother asked. “Is it because she has magic? I think it’s cool.”

“How did her family react?” my dad asked me.

I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.

“They were shocked,” I said. “At first they didn’t let me see her, but Luna Emma managed to convince Alpha Logan to let me talk to Sophia.”

“Why wouldn't they let you see her?” my brother asked angrily. “She is your mate!”

“We will explain later, honey,” my mom told my brother.

“Did you talk to her?” my dad asked.

“I did,” I said, smiling a little. “She wants me too, dad. She just needs a little bit of time to figure things out with her family.”

I would give her time. I would wait patiently. I would do whatever the hell I needed to do to have her. I would show her how much I wanted her. I would show her that I was a good man who was worthy of her love. I would show her family that I was a good man who would love her and protect her until my last breath.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN – Confused

Sophia’s POV

Lex was holding me so tightly that I was having trouble breathing.

“I am okay, Lex,” I said, rubbing his back gently. “He wouldn't hurt me.”
