Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Not Again

Hunter’s POV

I wasn’t going to lock her up again!

There was no fucking way she would spend another minute in that room. It wasn’t happening.

I watched Emma hugging my mate and I got the urge to grab her and take her away from everything and everyone. Maybe we could run away from the darkness. Maybe we could run away from everything bad that surrounded us.

How the fuck could I lock her up again? I couldn’t do it. I simply couldn’t.

I placed my hands on her waist and pulled her from Emma gently. I needed to hold her in my arms. I needed to be sure that she was with me and not in some room.

“Hunter...” she said quietly, but I interrupted her.

“I said no, Sophia,” I said sternly. “I’m not going to change my mind. I am not locking you in that room again.”

Sophia sighed and looked at her family.

“Can you give us a minute, please?” she asked, making me tighten my jaw.

“They don’t need to give us a minute, Sophia,” I said. “I am not changing my mind.”

Sophia didn’t even look at me. She kept her eyes on her family the entire time. I had to hold back from rolling my eyes when I saw them nod and get up. Alex kissed Sophia’s temple before he stood up and walked away after his parents.

Sophia looked at me as soon as her family was out of sight.

“No,” I said immediately. “No fucking way, Sophia. You are not going back in that room.”

How could I go back to waking up without her in my arms?

It was simple. I couldn’t.

“I don’t want to hurt anyone ever again, Hunter,” she said quietly. “I am already having trouble accepting what I did. If I hurt someone I loved, I would never be able to forgive myself for it.”

I cupped her cheeks and sighed.
