Chapter 20: Say the Words Sophie
Alpha Hunter is doing strange things to me and Hedda isn't helping. I can't believe I leaned into his touch. But the electric tingles, the feel of his warm skin against mine, made me crave to have him touch me all over.
"Back to your earlier question," he says, refocusing on our discussion. I like that he's not pushing me to mate, not pushing for me to allow him to put his mark on me. It reminds me a bit of how Alpha Calvin took his time with Amelia on her birthday, talking to her and getting to know her. It feels like Alpha Hunter is doing the same with me.
"You gave me a couple of hints. First, I heard you and Penny talking before she left. I didn't understand what she meant at the time, but it fell into place later. You knew who I was, which meant that we'd met before. I've been to a lot of packs, so that didn't really help, but you also know who Owen was. That, combined with your conversation with Penny and me realizing that you were talking about being close to home, helped me to figure it out," he says. It doesn't seem like enough to have figured out who I am.
"Do you always pay such close attention to things?" I ask, curious.
He shrugs. It's a nonchalant gesture, but somehow, watching the muscles in chest and shoulders flex and relax, is very **y. My fingers twitch with my desire to touch him. 288 Vouchers
"I try. I can't always stay on top of everything, but I do the best I can. I've learned to trust my Betas and my G**a though to follow up on things that I can't. However, with you, my mate, I will always pay close attention," he says, focusing his attention on me. His gaze is intense and I know that he means what he's saying, which reminds me...
"Your Beta female gives you high praise," I say. I don't mean for it to come across that way, but even I can hear the jealousy in my words.
He sets his fork down, leaning forward, his gaze intensifying even more. "Kinsley is my Beta's mate. They've had a rough time, like she said. It's not my place to talk about their struggles, but she mentioned it, so I'll tell you this. When she and Lucas were first mated, she didn't trust him at all. She wouldn't let him touch her, wouldn't look him in the eye, and barely looked the pack members in the eye. She stopped eating, to the point that I finally had to step in so she wouldn't starve herself to death," he says, and I gasp. She looks so healthy now.
"What she said to you was the truth, just like with your sister, and every other female whose claiming I've been to, I step out of the room while the woman is claimed. Because Kinsley saw me do that, I was one of the only people she could look in the eye, one of the only people she trusted to make her feel safe and protected. She and Lucas have been mated over a year now and they're only just now starting to come together."
He reaches out, taking my hand. "I don't want that for us. I don't want you to fear me, to fear my touch or have it remind you of a terrible, traumatic moment in your life. I want you to seek out my touch, seek me out when you need or want comfort, to feel confident that I would never, ever allow anyone to hurt you, 21:23
