True Luna novel (Emma and Logan) novel Chapter 194

True Luna by Tessa Lilly (The Unknown Magic)

The White Wolf Series Book 4 – CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO – Not Her

(Hunter’s POV)

Not her. Please, Goddess, not her.

My heart was beating so hard against my ribs. It was painful. I was sure that my ribs would crack. My whole body was shaking. My canines and claws were out and I couldn’t stop growling and snarling.

My reaction didn’t make sense. None of the people here in the room would hurt her. But my instincts had me grab her. I couldn’t let anything or anyone hurt her.

I felt her hand on the back of my n*eck. She squeezed it gently and ran her f*ingers through my hair.

She was telling me something, but I couldn’t focus. I couldn’t hear what she was saying.

All I could think about was protecting her. All I could think about was keeping her alive.

‘She is in danger, Hunter!’ Holden was screaming at me. ‘We need to protect her!’

I f*ucking knew that!

But how could I protect her from this? How could I protect her from the darkness that was inside her?

I closed my eyes and buried my nose in her hair. I took a deep breath of her wonderful scent. I focused on the feeling of her f*ingers in my hair.

The only thing I could hear was my blood pumping in my veins. The only thing I could feel was my heart beating frantically. It felt like it was beating all over my body.

I tried to focus on her soft voice, but it was hard. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t swallow the huge lump in my throat.

She placed a small k*iss on my n*eck and it was the only thing I could focus on. The tingles spread through my body, making me shiver. My heartbeat slowed down a little.

I focused on her f*ingers in my hair. I noticed how gentle she was. I noticed how her t*ouch soothed me and made me feel like I was in heaven.

I took another deep breath and released it slowly.

“It’s okay, Hunter,” I finally heard her gentle voice. “Everything is going to be okay.”

Nothing would be okay if she left me. Nothing would be okay if she didn’t exist.

I could feel my canines and claws retract slowly.

“Come back to me, Hunter,” she said quietly as she placed another small k*iss on my n*eck.

She didn’t have to ask me twice.

It was like a switch was turned on. Everything came back into focus. I could hear her. I could feel her small body against mine. I could focus on everything around me.

She needed me. I had to pull my head out of my a*ss and come back to her. “I am not going to let anything happen to you,” I spoke, my voice raspy. “I am not letting the darkness take you away from me. We will find a way.”

I lifted my head and k*issed her temple.

I looked at her family. Anna and Luna Emma were looking at me and smiling softly. Alexander was staring at me with an angry expression on his face. He was probably angry because I grabbed Sophia like that, but I

couldn’t give a s*hit. I needed to protect her. She was mine. Mine to protect, mine to love, mine to cherish and adore.

I looked back down at my mate and took a deep breath.

“We are in this together, Sophia,” I told her. “I am not leaving. I am here.” She looked up at me and I saw tears in her eyes. She studied my face for a few moments.
