The White Wolf Series Book 4 – CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO – Not Her

(Hunter’s POV)

Not her. Please, Goddess, not her.

My heart was beating so hard against my ribs. It was painful. I was sure that my ribs would crack. My whole body was shaking. My canines and claws were out and I couldn’t stop growling and snarling.

My reaction didn’t make sense. None of the people here in the room would hurt her. But my instincts had me grab her. I couldn’t let anything or anyone hurt her.

I felt her hand on the back of my n*eck. She squeezed it gently and ran her f*ingers through my hair.

She was telling me something, but I couldn’t focus. I couldn’t hear what she was saying.

All I could think about was protecting her. All I could think about was keeping her alive.

‘She is in danger, Hunter!’ Holden was screaming at me. ‘We need to protect her!’

I f*ucking knew that!

But how could I protect her from this? How could I protect her from the darkness that was inside her?

I closed my eyes and buried my nose in her hair. I took a deep breath of her wonderful scent. I focused on the feeling of her f*ingers in my hair.

The only thing I could hear was my blood pumping in my veins. The only thing I could feel was my heart beating frantically. It felt like it was beating all over my body.

I tried to focus on her soft voice, but it was hard. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t swallow the huge lump in my throat.

She placed a small k*iss on my n*eck and it was the only thing I could focus on. The tingles spread through my body, making me shiver. My heartbeat slowed down a little.
