No. I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't put my brother in danger. There was no way that I would be giving him any of my darkness. There had to be another way to contain it.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN – In Love

Hunter’s POV

I needed to see her.

The first day of the Alpha gathering was too fucking long and too fucking boring. I couldn't stop thinking about her. I kept thinking about kissing her again. I kept thinking about holding her in my arms again. I couldn't focus on any conversation I had with other Alphas and I was sure that they thought I was a complete idiot. I felt like a lost puppy the entire day. I just wanted to see her again.

I was so fucking in love with that girl.

Now that I was in my room, lying on the bed, and staring at the ceiling, the need to see her only grew. I felt deprived without her. I couldn't breathe normally. My heart wasn’t beating as it should. Everything just felt wrong.

I needed to see her. I couldn't wait until tomorrow. It wouldn't be able to go that long without her sweet scent. I wouldn't be able to go that long without touching her soft skin.

I knew that she lived close to the packhouse, but I also knew that she had a small office here. I wasn’t sure if she was still here and I had no idea where her office was, but I would find it. I would ask someone. I didn’t give a fuck. I needed her.

I stood up and rushed out of my room. The need for her grew with every heartbeat. I could feel it pulsating inside my body.

I ran into one of Alpha Logan’s warriors. He eyed me up and down and bowed his head a little.

“I need to see Miss Sophia,” I said politely. “Can you tell me where her office is?”

The warrior eyed me suspiciously. I was grateful that he was careful not to let anyone close to my mate, but I didn’t have time for this. I needed to see her. It was getting harder and harder for me to remain calm.

“I am her mate,” I said, trying to keep the nervousness out of my voice. “I need to talk to her.”

I could tell that he mind-linked someone and I was hoping it was Sophia. I wasn’t sure if her father would allow me to see her without anyone present.

“Please follow me, Alpha,” the warrior said after a few moments.

I sighed in relief and rushed after him. I wasn’t even paying attention to where I was going. All I could think about was seeing her. All I could think about were her soft lips pressed against mine.

Holden growled lustfully. I ignored him. I couldn't control my own needs, and I most certainly couldn't focus on controlling his needs as well.

Her scent got stronger and I took a deep breath, letting it fill my lungs. I shivered and the need for her exploded. I rushed past the warrior, making him grab my arm.

I had to stop myself from growling.

“Alpha…,” he spoke, but I interrupted him.

“I know where the office is,” I said. “Thank you.”

I knew exactly where her scent was coming from. I could feel her presence behind the last door to my right.

I pulled my arm out of the warrior’s grasp and rushed toward her office. I couldn't wait any longer.

Despite my impatience, I knocked and waited.

“Come in,” she said softly, making my heart skip a beat.

I opened the door and sighed in relief.

There she was. My beautiful, little Angel.

“Sophia,” I mumbled as I closed the door behind me.

She gulped and I saw her shiver.
