I clenched my fists and tightened my jaw. I tried to mind-link him again, but he kept blocking me.

“I am not being stubborn,” I said through my teeth. “I am not doing it. I am not putting you in danger.”

Lex sighed and rolled his eyes. “I won’t be in danger, Fia.”

“We don’t know that,” I argued. “You are insane for suggesting…”

“Okay, enough,” my mom sighed, interrupting our fight. “Can one of you tell us what the hell you are talking about?”

I narrowed my eyes at my brother. He sighed and looked at our mom.

I wouldn't do it, no matter what he said. I wouldn't put him through that. I wouldn't put him in danger.

“I suggested that she transferred a part of her darkness to me,” Lex said, making my heart race. “She can do it with her light magic. I don’t see a reason why she couldn't do it with her darkness as well. It would be easier to deal with if we both dealt with it.”

My mom’s eyes widened. She looked from Lex to me.

“That could work,” Anna mumbled, making me look at her.

“No,” I said sternly. “I am not doing it. I am not putting him in danger. Forget it.”

“Mom,” Lex sighed. “You agree with me, don’t you? It could work.”

I looked at my mom. She was staring in front of herself and she looked worried.

“Maybe,” she mumbled, furrowing her eyebrows. “But Sophie is right, Alex. It’s dangerous.”

“I don’t care,” Lex said, clenching his fists. “It is dangerous for her to have so much of it.”

“I’m used to it,” I said, making Lex look at me.

He took a deep breath and released it slowly.

“I will do it,” Hunter said, making me gasp and look at him.

My eyes widened to the point where I thought that they would fall out of their sockets.

“Are you insane?” I mumbled. “No. No one is doing it. I am not doing it. Stop bringing it up.”

Hunter looked at me and gave me a small smile.

“You will transfer it to me, love,” he said softly. “I would do anything to make you safe. I will be okay. Everything will be okay.”

He leaned in and kissed my forehead softly.

No. I wasn’t going to do it. I wasn’t going to put him or Lex in danger. I could deal with it on my own. I would find a way. I always found a way.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR – Your Family

Hunter’s POV

I was going to do it. I was going to take a part of her darkness. I was going to help her.

I looked down at her surprised face and smiled. She was staring at me wide-eyed, and I could tell that she was struggling with what to say next.

“She can’t transfer it to you,” her brother said, making me look at him. “You haven’t marked her yet. She can only transfer it to me.”

I furrowed my eyebrows. I thought that she could share her magic with others.
