Cold shivers ran down my spine. I looked her up and down. Was it always this bad?

“Oh, my Angel,” I mumbled as I pulled her into a tight hug. “Is there something I could do?”

“I am better now,” she mumbled. “Thank you.”

I looked at Alexander. He had a worried look on his face. He looked exhausted too.

“Are you okay?” I asked him.

He tightened his jaw and nodded. He kept his eyes on Sophia the entire time.

“I am okay now that she is better,” he mumbled.

I tried to take a deep breath, but it was so freaking hard. I was so scared. Why did she have issues with it again? How did it look? Would I know how to help her if it happened while I was around? Would she let me help her?

I kissed the top of her head and breathed in her scent. It soothed me a little.

“You should eat something, Fia,” Alexander said.

“I am not hungry,” she mumbled.

Her voice came out all muffled because her head was buried into my chest.

“I know, but you still need to eat,” Alexander sighed.

“Come on, Angel,” I said as I placed another kiss on the top of her head. “You need to eat. Something small at least.”

She tightened her arms around me and took a deep breath.

“I will make breakfast,” Luna Emma said, making me look at her. “Are you hungry, Hunter?”

“No, thank you,” I said, giving her a small smile. “I ate at the packhouse. Coffee would be nice, though.”

“Sure,” Luna Emma said, smiling back at me.

I glanced at Alpha Logan and Alexander.

“Could we have a moment alone, please?” I asked, tightening my arms around Sophia.

Alpha Logan nodded. Alexander didn’t move or say anything. I could tell that he was reluctant to leave.

Alpha Logan sighed, grabbed his upper arm, and started pulling him away.

“I will be in the kitchen if you need me, Fia,” Alexander said and I could hear a hint of panic in his voice.

Sophia turned around and nodded.

“I am okay,” she said. “We will be right there.”

As soon as Alpha Logan and Alexander left the living room, I pulled Sophia to the couch. I sat down and pulled her onto my lap.

“What the hell happened, my love?” I asked her as I cupped her cheeks.

She was still so pale and so cold. My heart was breaking inside my chest.

She furrowed her eyebrows and bit her lower lip. I caressed her cheeks with my thumbs. Her skin was so soft and I enjoyed how it felt against my fingertips.

“It happens sometimes,” she said quietly. “The darkness tries to take control, but I always manage to push it back.”
