SWNOVELS True Luna: The Unknown Magic: Chapter 37
Alexander’s POV
“Good morning, honey,” my mom said as I walked into the kitchen.
She was making coffee and breakfast.
“Is there coffee for me?” I mumbled as I sat down on the bar stool next to my dad.
I slept like shit. I kept having one nightmare after another, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t wake up. I don’t even remember what the nightmares were about, but they were terrible. I woke up in a cold sweat.
Also, Axel was nervous from the moment I woke up. He kept stirring and making me feel tense. I asked him what the hell was wrong, but he didn’t know.
“Of course, honey,” my mom said as he opened the cupboard and took out a mug.
“What’s wrong, bud?” my dad asked as he took a sip of his coffee.
“I didn’t sleep well,” I mumbled as I took the mug out of my mom’s hand. “Thank you.”
“You are welcome,” my mom said, smiling at me. “Where is Sophie?”
She turned around to continue making breakfast.
“She is probably still asleep,” I said. “Leave her. She needs it after yesterday.”
Dealing with darkness always tired her out.
“It was a bad one,” my dad mumbled, making me nod.
“Yes,” I agreed. “I want to talk to Anna and try the transfer thing before she leaves. I am afraid that Hunter won’t know what to do if it gets bad again.”
I thought about it a lot last night. I wanted to talk to Hunter and ask him to stay a few more days so we could try to transfer it to me. I was afraid to let her go to his pack without me.
“I am not sure about that, honey,” my mom sighed as she turned around and leaned on the counter. “I don’t want you to get hurt.”
I gritted my teeth. “She will get hurt if we don’t do something, mom.”
My mom glanced at my dad and took a deep breath.
“I know,” she said. “That’s why I thought about taking it. I know my way around magic and I could deal with it better.”
My eyes widened.
“No,” my dad said sternly. “We don’t know what that could do to you, Emma. You could get hurt.”
“Better me than our children,” my mom sighed, making my dad growl quietly.
“Then I am doing it instead of you,” my dad said. “I am not letting you or my children get hurt. She can transfer it all to me.”
My mom wanted to argue, but the doorbell interrupted our discussion.
I could tell by the scent that it was Hunter.
“I’ll get it,” I said as I stood up and walked to the front door.
I opened it to see Hunter standing on my porch with a small smile on his face.
“Good morning,” he said.
I stepped aside so he could enter the house.
“Where is Sophia?” he asked, looking around.
“She is still sleeping,” I said. “My mom and dad are in the kitchen. Go join them. I will go check on Fia.”
“Don’t wake her up,” he told me. “Let her sleep.”
“I will,” I said as I started climbing the stairs. “I will just go check on her. I will tell her that you are here if she is awake.”
Hunter nodded and I saw him walk away.
I felt his urge to go check on Fia. It was mostly because of Axel. Maybe seeing her would calm him down a little.
‘Maybe you should talk to Stella,’ I told him. ‘She has a way to calm you down.’
Axel didn’t respond.
I knocked on Fia’s door and waited.
I couldn’t hear anything so I opened the door slowly. I didn’t want to wake her up if she was still asleep.
My eyes fell on her bed and I furrowed my eyebrows.
It was empty.
“Fia?” I called her as I entered her room.
She was probably in the bathroom.
It was freezing in her room.
My eyes fell on the open window. Why the hell did she open that?
I walked to the bathroom door. I wanted to knock, but I noticed that the door was open. I grabbed the doorknob and opened the door fully. The bathroom was empty.
What the fuck?!
My heart started racing.
“Sophia!” I called her as I turned back around.
Where the fuck was she?!
My eyes fell on a piece of paper on her nightstand.
My heart raced.
I rushed to the nightstand and grabbed the paper. My hands were shaking.
Don’t search for her because you won’t find her. She will come back, but when she does, she will be the greatest weapon on this planet. She will be my greatest weapon.
She was gone.
My vision blackened.
My hands started shaking.
I didn’t even realize that I was snarling and growling.
‘NO!’ Axel was screaming as he pushed to get out. ‘WE HAVE TO FIND HER!’
I heard footsteps rushing toward the room.
I couldn’t move. All I could do was stare at the piece of paper in my hands.
My chest was rising and falling rapidly. I saw fur growing on my arms. I felt my canines and claws elongate.
Someone grabbed the paper out of my hands.
“No!” Hunter screamed. “No, no, no, no!”
“Oh, my baby!” my mom cried out.
I recognized my father’s loud growl.
“Sophia!” Hunter screamed and I heard him running to the window. “Sophia!”
‘Move, you fucker!’ Axel screamed at me. ‘We have to go! We have to find her!’
I couldn’t move. I was fucking frozen.
Axel was slowly taking control of my body.
“Logan!” my mom cried out.
“I will find her, Emma,” I heard my dad say. “I already alerted everyone. They are already looking for her.”
“Sophia!” Hunter screamed again.
I was finally able to move my body.
I let Axel take complete control. I shifted and jumped through the window, breaking it into a million tiny pieces.
I growled loudly, making the trees around me shake.
I heard someone running behind me. I knew it was Hunter.
Fia?!I tried to mind-link her. Where are you? We are coming, okay? Hold on.
My heart was completely shattered, but I had to push myself to run as fast as possible.
I had to find her.
I would find her and I would kill whoever took her. I would make them regret the day they were born.
I could feel my muscles growing. I could feel my body gaining more strength.
I recognized my mom’s magic flowing through my blood and I used it to push myself harder.
I would find her.
I had to find her.
She wasn’t gone.
