Chapter 220: Chapter 220 – A New Hope

Hunter’s POV

I had never run faster in my entire life.

My paws were hitting the ground with so much force that I could feel everything around me shake. My fur was stuck to my body due to air resistance. My muscles hurt and my lungs burned, but I wasn’t going to stop running. I couldn’t stop running.

I glanced to my left and saw Axel. He looked like he was about to attack something or someone. He looked ready to fight. He was a few steps ahead of me due to his increased strength. His mother’s and his sister’s magic was fueling him.

I was fueled by the pure need for my mate. I just wanted to feel her in my arms again. I wanted to kiss her soft lips. I wanted to wrap her in my arms where she would be safe from any harm.

Mason was to my right and he was a bit slower than me. Jake was behind us. He was a bit slower than the three of us, but he kept up without any issues.

I couldn’t mind-link them so I didn’t know if anything new had happened. We decided that it would be best if all of us shifted. If some of us had to carry a person on our backs, it would slow us down significantly.

The absence of being able to mind-link left me with only one option. I pictured my mate’s beautiful face. I remembered how soft her lips felt against mine. I remembered how her scent made me shiver. I remembered how her voice made me melt.

‘I miss her,’ Holden whined. ‘I miss her so much, Hunter.’

‘I know,’ I mumbled, trying to stop my voice from trembling. ‘I miss her too.’

I tried to swallow the lump in my throat.

‘We will find her and we will bring her home,’ I said. ‘I promise, Holden. I will bring her back.’

He whined, making my stomach turn. His pain was my pain and I wished that I could take it all away.
