“Not as much as Mike,” Mason mumbled.

“Or Harry,” I added, making them look at me.

“How old is Harry?” Mason asked me.

“16,” I said, smiling. “He will be 17 soon.”

Alexander sighed and rolled his eyes, making both Mason and I look at him with confused expressions on our faces.

“It’s Fia,” he mumbled. “She is making sure that Hunter is okay. I don’t get her. This is like the hundredth time she mind-linked me. Does she think that we will eat him?”

Mason scoffed.

I grinned widely. It made me so fucking happy to know that my mate cared about me. She wanted to make sure that I was okay. My heart swelled so much that my chest suddenly felt too tight to hold it.

She loved me as much as I loved her.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN – I Missed You

Sophia’s POV

I ran downstairs as soon as I heard the front door open.

I could smell my mate’s scent and a shiver went down my spine.

“He is alive, Sophia, slow down,” I heard Lex sigh even before he saw me.

I heard my mate chuckle and my heart raced. I finally reached the end of the stairs and saw him.

He was perfect. I would never get tired of looking at his beautiful face. My breath got caught in my throat and I couldn’t look away from him. I wanted to jump into his arms and kiss him. I wanted to feel his body close to mine. I wanted to feel his soft lips on mine.

“Close your mouth, Sophia,” Lex mumbled, making me blink and look away from my mate.

Was he angry at me?

“Why are you calling me Sophia?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. “Is everything okay?”

He only called me Sophia when he was angry at me. I was always Fia and he was always Lex.

Lex blinked and shook his head. “Everything is fine, Fia. Don’t worry.”

Of course I would worry. Something wasn’t right.

Hunter took my hand in his, making me look away from my brother. Tingles spread all over my body.

“Can I talk to you outside for a second?” Hunter asked, giving me a small smile.

I could do anything else but nod. He always managed to take my breath away.

Hunter gave me a small smile and started pulling me out of the house.

“Five minutes, Hunter,” my brother said, making Hunter look back at him and nod.

Hunter closed the front door and pulled me into a tight hug immediately.

“Goddess, I missed you,” he mumbled as he ran his fingers down my spine.

I had to grab onto him to keep myself standing up. My knees buckled and a tingling feeling spread around my stomach.
