Chapter 210: Chapter 210 – Despair

Hunter’s POV

Pain.

Anger.

Sadness.

The pain was so immense that it felt as though my entire being was being torn apart. A hole had formed in the center of my chest, and no amount of effort could fill it. It was as though my heart had been ripped out and left to bleed out, leaving me to suffer in agony.

The pain I was experiencing was excruciating, beyond anything I had ever felt before. I was drowning in a sea of despair, desperately trying to keep my head above water, but with no hope in sight.

The anger that simmered inside me was a coping mechanism, a shield to protect me from the intense pain that threatened to overwhelm me. It was easier to be angry than to confront the depth of my despair, easier to lash out than to feel the crushing weight of my grief.

But even as I clung to my anger, I knew deep down that it was just a temporary solution. The pain would not go away, and eventually, I would have to face it head-on.

“Maybe we should go home, Hunter,” my mom mumbled. “There isn’t much we can do here.”

I gritted my teeth. The muscles in my arms clenched.

“I am not leaving,” I said, my voice unrecognizable. “I am staying here.”

I couldn’t leave. What if she came back? What if Alex found her before I did?
