Page 90 of True Luna: The Unknown Magic

“She can’t give me her magic to use, but she can enhance my abilities,” Alex explained after seeing my confused face. “She can do it with others as well, but it takes a lot of her strength and it isn’t as effective as it is when she transfers it to me.”

Oh. I nodded and looked back at my mate.

“So, you could give it to me, but it wouldn't help much?” I asked, making her nod.

I looked back up at her brother. His eyes were on her and he had a worried look on his face.

“But after I mark her, will she be able to transfer it to me fully?” I asked.

Alexander narrowed his eyes at me.

“We aren’t sure,” Luna Emma said. “I can transfer it to my mate so Sophia should be able to transfer it to you once you mark her.”

I nodded and looked back at my mate.

“It’s settled then,” I said, giving her a small smile. “I am marking you and you are giving me a part of your darkness.”

Sophia’s eyes widened. Alexander growled.

“Not so fast, Hunter,” Alexander said menacingly. “I still don’t trust you.”

I sighed and gritted my teeth. I was getting annoyed with his attitude.

“Well, it’s a good thing that it isn’t up to you,” I said. “I won’t be marking you, will I?”

Alexander growled and narrowed his eyes at me. I watched his muscles clench. He started breathing heavily. His jaw tightened. At that moment I realized why everyone feared him. He looked terrifying. It was very clear that he was more powerful than any other Alpha I encountered.

I didn’t fear him, though. Nothing scared me when it came to my mate.

I could feel his power radiating off him. I could feel his Alpha aura. It was stronger than any other. It had me wanting to drop down to my knees and I was a fucking Alpha as well.

I gritted my teeth and resisted the urge to bow to him. I wasn’t going to do it. I wasn’t going to let his power break me.

I kept my eyes on him the entire time.

His power was like electricity. I could hear it buzzing in the air. I could feel it on my skin.

I wondered what it would look like if he lost it completely. I could tell that he was controlling himself now. I wondered what it would take to calm him down.

And then a soft voice answered all of my questions.

“Lex,” Sophia said quietly. “Calm down. It’s okay.”

The buzzing stopped instantly. The pressure to bow down to him disappeared.

Of course it was her. She could calm him down.

He didn’t move his eyes away from mine, though.

“You are moving to fucking fast for my liking, Hunter,” Alexander said quietly. “Slow it down.”

I gritted my teeth. I understood his fear, but I wasn’t going to let him come between Sophia and me.

“Alex, honey, it’s okay,” Luna Emma said. “Hunter wants what’s best for Sophie. I think we can all agree on that.”

Alex kept his eyes on mine.

Sophia sighed and Alex glanced down at her. I could tell that she was mind-linking him. He looked back at me and I could tell that he resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
