“We don’t know that Soph,” Mason mumbled angrily. “We don’t know who he is.”

‘He is my mate,’Stella growled.

‘He is, Stella,’I sighed.‘But it’s understandable that they are afraid. We need to be patient with them.’

She didn’t respond, but I could feel her annoyance.

Lex let me go and looked at me worriedly.

“What are you going to do?” Jacob asked me, making me look at him.

I took a deep breath and released it slowly.

I wanted him. Goddess, how much I wanted him. He was my mate. He was made for me and I was made for him.

But…

“He is dangerous, Sophia,” Mason said as he crossed his arms over his chest. “His father is dangerous. You need to think about what to do.”

It didn’t feel like I was in danger when I was in his arms. It didn’t feel like I was in danger when he was kissing me.

I looked at my dad, who was leaning on my mom’s desk. He had a worried look on his face.

I moved away from Lex and approached my dad. I needed his comfort.

He opened his arms immediately. He knew what I needed. He knew how much I loved him.

“Oh, princess,” he mumbled as he wrapped his arms around me.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned my head on his chest.

“Everything is going to be okay, Sophie,” my dad said. “We will love and support you no matter what you decide.”

I didn’t know what to do.

I wanted him. I wanted him so much it hurt.

But his father hurt my family. His father almost killed my aunt and Mason. His father almost took my mom away from my dad.

Was his father the same man he was all those years ago? Would he even accept me as his son’s mate? Was he still angry at my family? Would he try to hurt me as an act of revenge? Would he try to hurt my family again?

Well, I didn’t care if he hurt me, but I couldn't let him hurt my family.

And then there was the whole issue with my magic.

I had both light and dark magic inside me. Anna and my mom taught me how to gain control over the darkness. They taught me how to suppress it and stop it from consuming me. I hadn’t told anyone yet, but it was getting harder and harder to keep the darkness away. I could feel it pushing me to set it free. I could feel it fueling up my insides.

I could tell that Lex could tell that something was going on, but he still didn’t bring it up. It was only a matter of time before he would.

What if I hurt Hunter with my magic? What if I hurt his family or pack? What if they started to fear me?

I had so many questions and so many concerns. I had so many reasons to accept him and so many to reject him.

I was so confused and I didn’t know what to do.

“Your dad is right, sweetie,” my uncle said. “We will support you no matter what. We are just scared.”

I looked at him and nodded.
