True Luna by Tessa Lilly

Chapter 276: Chapter 276 – Shocked

Hunter’s POV

I was in shock.

I still couldn’t wrap my mind around what happened.

Emma took Sophia’s darkness? She was dying? She sacrificed herself for Sophia? She was dying?!

I was lying on Sophia’s bed, holding her tightly in my arms. She was still asleep and I assumed that Emma did it. She knew that Sophia would fight her on this. She knew that Sophia would try to stop her. She had to put her to sleep so she could do what she needed.

I looked down at my mate and my heart clenched. I was so fucking happy that she was back in my arms. I was so happy that she didn’t have darkness anymore. I was so happy that she wasn’t in danger anymore.

But I knew how she would react once she woke up and realized what happened. I knew how devastated she would be. I knew how scared she would be.

I kissed her forehead and tightened my arms around her.

“I love you, Angel,” I said quietly. “I will be here every step of the way.”

If Emma died...

No.

I couldn’t let myself go there. I couldn’t let myself think about that. Emma wasn’t going to die. She was so fucking strong and she couldn’t die. She simply couldn’t.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I tried to calm my racing heart down. I couldn’t let myself freak out. My Angel could wake up any second now and she needed me to be calm.

I let her scent soothe my soul and calm the panic inside my body. I ran my fingers through her hair, reminding myself that she was right here next to me.

My heart skipped a beat when I finally felt her stir a little. She groaned quietly and sighed.

I opened my eyes and looked at her beautiful face. Her eyes were still closed, but her eyebrows were furrowed a little.
