SWNOVELS True Luna: The Unknown Magic: Chapter 27
Sophia’s POV
I ran downstairs as soon as I heard the front door open.
I could smell my mate’s scent and a shiver went down my spine.
“He is alive, Sophia, slow down,” I heard Lex sigh even before he saw me.
I heard my mate chuckle and my heart raced. I finally reached the end of the stairs and saw him.
He was perfect. I would never get tired of looking at his beautiful face. My breath got caught in my throat and I couldn’t look away from him. I wanted to jump into his arms and kiss him. I wanted to feel his body close to mine. I wanted to feel his soft lips on mine.
“Close your mouth, Sophia,” Lex mumbled, making me blink and look away from my mate.
Was he angry at me?
“Why are you calling me Sophia?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. “Is everything okay?”
He only called me Sophia when he was angry at me. I was always Fia and he was always Lex.
Lex blinked and shook his head. “Everything is fine, Fia. Don’t worry.”
Of course I would worry. Something wasn’t right.
Hunter took my hand in his, making me look away from my brother. Tingles spread all over my body.
“Can I talk to you outside for a second?” Hunter asked, giving me a small smile.
I could do anything else but nod. He always managed to take my breath away.
Hunter gave me a small smile and started pulling me out of the house.
“Five minutes, Hunter,” my brother said, making Hunter look back at him and nod.
Hunter closed the front door and pulled me into a tight hug immediately.
“Goddess, I missed you,” he mumbled as he ran his fingers down my spine.
I had to grab onto him to keep myself standing up. My knees buckled and a tingling feeling spread around my stomach.
I took a deep breath, letting his scent cloud my brain.
“I missed you too,” I mumbled as I ran my fingers through his hair.
I felt his hand under my butt, and my heart raced. He picked me up with one hand and I wrapped my legs around his waist.
“I waited to do this ever since we left the house,” Hunter mumbled as he kissed my neck.
I had to hold back a moan. My family was inside the house.
His lips were warm and soft. He placed soft kisses all over my neck and jaw. He reached my mouth and I was sure that I was going to explode with need.
I cupped his cheeks and pressed my lips against his. He squeezed my butt, making me shiver. I bit his lower lip gently.
“Fuck, Sophia, fuck,” he mumbled as he ran his tongue over mine.
My heart was racing. My whole body was tingling. All I could feel was him and I was in heaven.
I lowered my lips to his neck and sucked on his marking spot. He growled and pressed me closer to him.
“Fuck,” he mumbled as he grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled my head back.
He was panting hard. I was having trouble taking a deep breath. The lust I saw in his eyes made my lower belly ache with need. It was an unfamiliar feeling, but I liked it and I wanted more of it.
“We need to stop, or I am going to fuck you right here and right now,” Hunter growled, tightening his grip on my hair.
My breath got caught in my throat. I would complain a lot if he did that.
He brought my lips back to his as I almost melted into a puddle under his feet.
I kissed him hard, grabbing the back of this hoodie and pressing my body closer to his. I still couldn’t believe that he wanted me. I still couldn’t believe that he didn’t reject me after finding out all the things that were wrong with me.
I stopped kissing him and leaned my forehead against his. We really needed to stop kissing like that. My family was inside, and I was only one kiss away from letting him have his way with me right on my front porch.
“What did I do to deserve you?” I mumbled, making him pull back so he could look at me.
“What the hell are you talking about?” he asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
I took a deep breath and bit my lower lip.
“I always thought that my mate wouldn’t want me because of my magic,” I mumbled, making Hunter’s eyes widen. “I was ready for your rejection. I didn’t think that you would accept me.”
Hunter growled quietly. “Goddess, Sophia, I would have to be an insane motherfucker to reject you. I don’t give a shit about your magic. It’s a part of you and I love it. I love everything about you, the good and the bad.”
I was going to cry.
“You are mine, and I am not giving up on you,” Hunter said as he placed a soft kiss on my lips. “Get that into this stubborn head of yours.”
I felt a tear fall on my cheek. Hunter wiped it away gently.
“It’s been five minutes, Fia,” I heard my brother’s voice.
I sighed and rolled my eyes. Hunter chuckled.
“Let’s not anger him, shall we?” Hunter said as he put me down gently. “I think he likes me. I don’t want to ruin that.”
“I’ve never said that I liked you,” Lex said.
“Stop eavesdropping,” I said angrily.
The front door opened and Lex stepped out.
“I wasn’t eavesdropping,” he said. “I heard it by accident.”
“You hear a lot by accident,” I mumbled quietly, making him narrow his eyes at me.
He looked at Hunter and raised his eyebrows.
“Good night, Hunter,” Lex said, making Hunter chuckle.
He kissed the top of my head and I looked up at him.
“Good night, Angel,” he said as he caressed my cheek. “I will see you tomorrow.”
“Good night,” I said, giving him a small smile.
“By, Alexander,” Hunter said as he let me go and started walking away.
I was instantly so cold. I already missed his arms around me.
Lex took my hand in his and pulled me inside the house. I kept my eyes on my mate until Lex closed the front door.
I gulped and looked at Lex
“Why are you mad at me?” I asked him.
He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.
“I am not mad at you, Fia,” he mumbled. “I am just nervous about tomorrow.”
I sighed and approached him. I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.
“Don’t be,” I said quietly. “His dad will be nice. I am sure of it.”
Lex hugged me back and leaned his head on mine.
“We will see,” he mumbled quietly. “I do like Hunter. I’m hoping that he is telling the truth about his dad.”
I smiled. Lex was the most important person in my life and hearing that he liked Hunter made me so happy. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Lex rubbed my back gently.
Everything would be okay. I would find a way to deal with the darkness and my and Hunter’s families would be okay with our bond. Everything would be okay. Everything had to be okay.
I was sure of it.
