I looked at her and I could tell that she was Mason’s mother. So she was the woman my father threatened.

“Hunter?” I heard my Angel’s voice and I turned around abruptly.

I didn’t even hear her approaching the office. I was so focused on my anger and pain that I didn’t even hear my mate coming.

Her voice and her presence took every ache away.

I rushed toward her, pulling her into my arms. The tingles and sparks made me shiver. Her scent surrounded me and I relaxed immediately.

“What happened?” she asked softly as she rubbed my back gently.

Her touch was all I needed to calm down.

I couldn't even answer her. I closed my eyes and buried my nose in her hair. I took a deep breath and let her scent fill my lungs.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN – They Are Happy?

Sophia’s POV

I could feel how tense Hunter was. I could feel his anger and fear.

“What happened, mom?” I asked again when Hunter didn’t respond to my question.

He only tightened his arms around me and pressed me closer to his body.

“Hunter overheard us talking about the possibility of him being your cursed mate,” my mom said, making me tense up.

What?!

A sharp pain in my chest made me clench my fists. Why would they talk about that? He wasn’t my cursed mate. I was sure of it.

“I am not her cursed mate,” Hunter said, his voice laced with pain. “She is mine. There isn’t anyone else for her.”

I rubbed his back gently, but he didn’t relax, not even a little bit.

“You broke the curse mom,” I said, trying to remain calm.

“I did, honey,” my mom said. “That’s why I don’t think this is a curse.”

Hunter raised his head and turned around to look at my mom. His hold on me loosened. I took the opportunity to step away from him and look at my family. I understood their fear, but I was angry at them. They had no right to come between us. They had no right to hurt him like that.

I loved them all so much and I had to make sure that they knew how much I loved them. I had to make sure that they knew that I understood their fear and suspicion.

I looked at my uncle. I loved him so much and I knew how much he loved me. He was an amazing person, but everything that had happened to my mom and aunt Daisy made him very suspicious and careful.

I knew that out of all my family, he was probably the most worried and the angriest. I knew that he would have the hardest time coming to terms with this. He was the only one I wanted to reassure right now. Everyone else could wait.

“Uncle Andrew I know this is hard for you,” I said, making him look at me. “I know that all you want to do is protect your family and make sure that we are all safe. I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for you to watch someone threaten your mate and your sister.”

I stopped to take a deep breath.

Just thinking about someone hurting Lex…

I couldn't even think about that. Just the thought of it made me want to scream and unleash the darkness inside of me. I forced myself to focus and finish what I wanted to say.

“But that someone wasn’t Hunter,” I continued. “I love you, uncle Andrew, and I will never stop loving you, no matter what decision I make.”

His jaw tightened. He looked from me to Hunter.
