Chapter 242: Chapter 242 – The Speech

Hunter’s POV

I was staring through the window, trying to get a hold of my emotions. I was looking in the direction of the cabin where my mate was.

“My mark will save you, Angel,” I mumbled quietly. “I promise. It will save you and it will bring you back to me.”

I gulped and closed my eyes, trying to control the sudden urge to cry. Anna’s words kept replying in my mind and I couldn’t stop them no matter how hard I tried.

What if it didn’t work? What if my Sophia was gone forever? What if I never got to be with her?

‘Stop it!’ Holden screamed at me. ‘It will work! The mark will work! It has to work!’

I didn’t respond. I couldn’t respond. I couldn’t focus on anything except the pain I felt.

Holden whined and his pain washed over me, mixing with my own and creating an endless pool of desperation.

“Hunter,” I heard Emma’s soft voice behind me.

I opened my eyes and turned around. She was standing behind me with a worried look on her face. I felt a knife pierce through my heart. She looked so much like my Sophia and it made me miss her so much more.

“Are you ready?” she asked.

I tried to give her a small smile, but I failed. She sighed and took my hand in hers.

“She will be okay,” Emma said softly. “The mark will work.”
