(Hunter’s POV)

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

| looked down at her surprised face and smiled. She was staring at me wide-eyed, and | 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. | furrowed my eyebrows. | thought that she could share her magic with others.

“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. | nodded and looked back at my mate.

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

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

“But after | mark her, will she be able to transfer it to me fully?” | 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. | nodded and looked back at my mate.

“It's settled then,” | said, giving her a small smile. “l 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. | was getting annoyed with his attitude.

“Well, it's a good thing that it isn’t up to you,” | said. “I won’t be marking you, will 1?”

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

| didn’t fear him, though. Nothing scared me when it came to my mate.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

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

| gritted my teeth and resisted the urge to bow to him. | wasn’t going to do

it. | wasn’t going to let his power break me.

| kept my eyes on him the entire time.

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

| wondered what it would look like if he lost it completely. | could tell that he was controlling himself now. | 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.”

| gritted my teeth. | understood his fear, but | 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. | think we can all agree on that.” Alex kept his eyes on mine.

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

The office door opened, making Alex and me look away from each other. | was so focused on him that | didn’t even hear anyone coming.

Alpha Logan walked inside and looked around the room. His eyes landed on his son and he narrowed his eyes a little. “| can feel your aura,” Alpha Logan said. “What the hell happened?”

Alex sighed and crossed his arms over his c*hest.

“Nothing,” he mumbled, glancing at me. “We were talking about Fia’s magic and | got upset.”

| furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. Why didn’t he tell his father the real reason he got upset? Maybe he didn’t want to upset his father.

Alpha Logan looked at Sophia and me. He glanced at my arms around her waist. | could see his jaw twitch a little, but he didn’t say anything.

He looked back up at me and gave me a polite smile.

“Alpha Hunter, would your family be willing to come to my pack so we could get to know each other a little bit better?” Alpha Logan asked, making my eyes widen.

Was he really offering to talk to my dad?

“What?”

“That’s a very nice offer.”

Alexander and Anna said at the same time.

Alpha Logan glanced at Anna and gave her a small smile. He looked back at me and took a deep breath.

“| talked to Andrew and we agreed that it was best for everyone if we accepted this bond,” Alpha Logan said. “We don’t want to hurt Sophia. We don’t want to lose Sophia. | think that our fear is understandable, but we don’t want our fear to stop Sophia from being happy.”

Sophia walked away from me and approached her dad. She wrapped her arms around her dad’s waist. He hugged her back tightly and k*issed the top of her head.

“Thank you, dad,” she mumbled quietly.

“There is no need to thank me, princess,” Alpha Logan said. “We love you so much and we want you to be happy.”

| smiled and glanced at Luna Emma. She had a huge smile on her face.

Alpha Logan looked up at me and took a deep breath.

“Will you talk to your father and ask him to come?” he asked.

I nodded. “Of course.

Alpha Logan gave me a small smile and bent down to k’*iss the top of Sophia’s head again.

“| have to go back,” Alpha Logan said, looking at Alexander and me. “Join me downstairs when you finish this conversation.” Both of us nodded. | watched Alpha Logan walking away. He opened the door and looked at me with a small smirk on his face. “| heard that pizza and beer is a great way to win Mason and Alexander

over,” he said before walking out and closing the door behind him.

Luna Emma, Anna, and Sophia snorted.

| looked at Alexander. He sighed and rolled his eyes.

| stifled back a laugh.

Well, | would have to take them out for pizza and beer, won't |?
