“Not so fast, Hunter,” Alexander said. “I still don’t fucking trust you or your father. You will have to get past me first, and I will not make it easy.”

I smiled at him, making him furrow his eyebrows in confusion.

“I am so happy that Sophia has someone who loves her as much as you do,” I said truthfully. “I am happy that she has someone who will always protect her. I know it won’t be easy, but I will prove to you that I am worthy of your sister.”

Alexander’s eyes widened a little. I could tell that I left him speechless.

“You are the first person who managed to do this,” Sophia mumbled, making me look back down at her.

“Do what?” I asked, confused.

“You are the first one who managed to leave Lex speechless,” Sophia said, smirking a little. “He usually never shuts up.”

I snorted. Luna Emma and Anna laughed.

“Fia,” Alexander growled warningly.

Sophia turned around to look at him. She smiled at him, making my heart skip a beat. Goddess, she was beautiful.

I leaned in to place a soft kiss on her cheek. She looked back at me and smiled.

I wanted to make it official and tell her that I accept her, but I wanted to do that in private. I wanted us to be alone so I could kiss her and touch her after.

“Would you want us to tell you everything we’ve tried to get rid of her darkness?” Anna asked, making me look up at her.

I loosened my grip on Sophia, allowing her to turn around. I didn’t move my arms away, though. I wouldn’t let her leave my arms. Not now, not ever.

“Of course,” I said immediately. “I want to know everything. I want to know if you have any other ideas. I want us to try and come up with something else. We are going to deal with it and we are going to find a way to destroy it.”

I wouldn't let anything hurt my mate. I would find a way to destroy the darkness. I wouldn't let it take my mate away from me.

I bent down to kiss the top of Sophia’s head before I looked back at Anna. I tightened my jaw and took a deep breath.

“Tell me everything,” I said with determination in my voice.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE – Transfer It

Sophia’s POV

I wasn’t sure what to feel.

I was excited. I was so freaking happy. I was trembling from top to bottom. My mate wanted me. He wanted me despite everything he just found out about me. He held me, he kissed me, and he was there for me. I was ecstatic.

But I was also terrified. What if I hurt him? What if he regretted accepting me? What if he changed his mind once he saw the real darkness inside me?

So many emotions were flowing through my body. I was exhausted and so confused. I didn’t know what to focus on.

Fia?Lex mind-linked me, making me look at him.Do you want to stop? We can end this. We can continue tomorrow.

I knew that he was overwhelmed by everything. I could feel his emotions. I could feel his fear and anger. I knew that he didn’t want to do this, but we had to. Hunter deserved to know everything.

I am okay.I mind-linked him back.Are you okay? You can leave the room if it’s getting too much.

And leave you alone?Lex scoffed.Not a fucking chance, Fia.

I watched him narrow his eyes at Hunter before I even realized that Hunter was kissing my cheek softly.

I looked at my mate and my heart skipped a beat. He was smiling at me.
