Chapter 185 – True Luna Book Free: The Unknown Magic

He did. He was with someone else. Was she his girlfriend? Was she waiting for him back in his pack? Was their relationship serious?

My mind was a complete mess and I felt the first sign of darkness creeping around in my ch*st.

I tried to push it back, but all I could focus on was the pain in my heart.

He had someone else. He loved someone else.

“Is she waiting for you in your pack?” I asked him, my voice laced with pain.

I could feel the tears forming in my eyes.

His eyes widened. He gasped and cupped my cheeks.

“No!” he exclaimed, panicking. “We were never in a relationship. I’ve never had sex with her. We were two stupid teenagers who fooled around a little. We did some oral stuff, but that was it. She is nothing, Sophia. She found her mate and she is happy with him. I am happy for her. He is a nice man, and she deserves a nice man. She is a very nice person. That’s all she ever was to me. A nice person, a good friend.”

He was rambling now. I could hear the panic in his voice.

“f**k, my dad told me that I was going to regret it,” he mumbled as he closed his eyes and shook his head.

He opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

“I am sorry, Angel,” he said as he leaned his forehead against mine. “If I could take it back, I would. I made a mistake and I am so f**king sorry. You are everything that I want and need.”

I took a deep breath and ran my fi**gers through his hair.

It hurt to know that another girl had him before me, but there was nothing I could have done. I could only accept it.

“It’s okay,” I said, trying to keep the pain out of my voice. “It’s in the past.”

Hunter lifted his head and I could see tears in his eyes.

“Really?” he asked, his voice trembling.

I nodded and gave him a small smile.

“Oh, Goddess,” he mumbled as he pulled me into a tight hug. “I already imagined you leaving me. I had this vision in my head of you rejecting me and telling me to get out. I almost had a heart attack.”

I turned my head and placed a soft k**s on his neck.

“I couldn’t do that,” I said quietly.

Just thinking about saying the word “reject” was painful. I simply couldn’t do it.

He buried his nose into my hair and took a deep breath.

“I am so f**king in love with you, Angel,” he said quietly. “I can’t believe how lucky I am to have you.”

I smiled and k**sed his neck again.

“I am so f**king in love with you too,” I mumbled, making him lift his head.

He smiled at me and p**ssed his l*ps against mine.

He ran his hand down my body, making me squirm and p**ss myself closer to him.

He was just about to grab my b**t again when the front door opened.

“Fia?” my brother called me, making Hunter sigh.

“I can’t wait for us to be alone,” he said as he stopped k**sing me. “The first thing I am going to do when we go back to our pack is take you on a vacation. I will sink my canines into your perfect little neck and I will make you mine in every way possible. Most importantly, there will be no one there to disturb us.”

I chuckled and nodded.

“I can’t wait,” I said, making him grin widely.

He pecked my l*ps again before he unwr*pped his hands from me and stood up.

I had to hold back a whine. I already missed him.

Alexander’s POV

I was nervous.

I didn’t want to leave Fia alone, but I had to go to the packhouse.

“Fia?!” I called her again when she didn’t answer me.

“Coming,” she said quietly and I was relieved.

I didn’t like leaving her alone after she had one of her episodes. The darkness could always come back, and I didn’t know how she would handle it without me here.

I saw her walking down the stairs and I breathed out in relief.

“Are you okay?” I asked as I pulled her closer so I could see her face better. “Did it happen again?”

I was scared as f**k.

It was never as bad as it was this morning. I always knew that she would be able to push the darkness back. This morning was the first time I wasn’t sure of it.

I studied her face carefully. I needed to know if she was okay. I needed to know that she was telling the truth.

“It didn’t,” she said, giving me a small smile.

“You have to teach me how to help her if it happens again,” I heard Hunter’s voice.

I was so focused on Fia that I didn’t even hear him come.

I gulped and glanced down at her. It would definitely happen again and I wondered how bad it would be the next time.

“I need to know what to do when we go back to our pack,” Hunter said, making my heart stop. “I need to know how to help her when you aren’t around.”

Right.

I wouldn’t be around when she left.

Oh, Goddess, I didn’t even think about that.

I gulped and gritted my teeth.

How the f**k would I get used to not seeing her every day? I couldn’t remember a day when I didn’t see her. We were always together. We did everything together.

Fia understood what was going on inside my mind. She wr*pped her arms around me and hugged me tightly.

I looked down at my sister and gulped.

“We will see each other all the time,” she said softly. “I promise. It’s only a two-hour drive.”

Right.

Only a two-hour drive.

I hugged her back.

“You are always welcome at our pack, Alex,” Hunter said, making me look up at him. “You can come to visit every day if you want to.”

Of course I wanted to.

But we both knew it would be impossible. I would take over our pack soon. I would have a job to do. She would become a Luna and she would have a job to do too. We wouldn’t be able to see each other every day.

“I will tell you what helps,” I mumbled. “But I will be only a call away if she needs me.”

“Of course,” Hunter said, smiling at me.

I looked back down at my sister.

“Where are mom and dad?” she asked as she let go of me.

“They are still at the packhouse,” I answered. “They are making a contract bet**en our packs.”

My sister looked back at Hunter.

“Shouldn’t you be there?” she asked him. “You are the Alpha.”
