Chapter 208: Chapter 208 – The Voice

Sophia’s POV

I was lying in my bed staring at the ceiling.

I couldn’t sleep.

I was nervous and excited at the same time. I had to start packing tomorrow. I would go back to Hunter’s pack with him and his family in two days.

I was excited to start my life with my mate, but I was nervous to leave my family.

I would miss my mom and my dad. I would miss my uncle and my aunt. I would miss my grandma and my cousins.

Most of all, I would miss my brother. I couldn’t even imagine not seeing him every day. What would that even feel like? It hadn’t been a day in my life when I didn’t see Lex. We did everything together. We went everywhere together. How would I go a day without him?

The thought scared me. Lex was a part of me. I never really thought about leaving him. I never thought that there would come a day when I wouldn’t see him.

I missed him already.

Lex? I tried to mind-link him, but I could tell that he was already asleep.

I sighed and closed my eyes, trying to relax so I could fall asleep.

It was hard. My emotions were a mess and I was still exhausted from what happened this morning.

It was the worst episode I had so far. I’ve never had to try so hard to stop the darkness from spreading.

At least Hunter’s parents seemed to like me. His mom was so gentle and loving and it made meeting them so much easier. His dad was very nice too. He had this peaceful aura around him. I liked him from the moment I saw him, and I couldn’t believe that was the man who hurt my family. It was very obvious that he had changed so much.

“Sophia,” I heard my brother’s quiet voice.

I opened my eyes and furrowed my eyebrows.

“Lex?” I called his name as I lifted myself on my elbows.

How the hell did he get inside my room? I didn’t hear him come in. I thought that he was asleep. And why the hell did he call me by my full name again?

“Sophia,” he called me again, making me reach out and turn on the lamp on my nightstand.
