The White Wolf Series Book 4 - CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE — Transfer It (Sophia’s POV)

| wasn't sure what to feel.

| was excited. | was so freaking happy. | was trembling from top to bottom. My mate wanted me. He wanted me despite everything he just found out about me. He held me, he k*issed me, and he was there for me. | was ecstatic.

But | was also terrified. What if | hurt him? What if he regretted accepting me? What if he changed his mind once he saw the real darkness inside me?

So many emotions were flowing through my body. | was exhausted and so confused. | didn’t know what to focus on. Fia? Lex mind-linked me, making me look at him. Do you want to stop? We can end this. We can continue tomorrow.

| knew that he was overwhelmed by everything. | could feel his emotions. | could feel his fear and anger. | knew that he didn’t want to do this, but we had to. Hunter deserved to know everything.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

lam okay. | mind-linked him back. Are you okay? You can leave the room if it’s getting too much. And leave you alone? Lex scoffed. Not a fucking chance, Fia. | watched him narrow his eyes at Hunter before | even realized that Hunter was k*issing my cheek softly.

| looked at my mate and my heart skipped a beat. He was smiling at me. “Did you and Alexander get lost in one of your conversations again?” he asked, chuckling.

“Yeah,” | mumbled. “Sorry. What did you ask me?”

“Nothing, Angel,” Hunter said softly. “Anna was telling me about the first time you tried to contain your darkness.” | looked at Anna and took a deep breath.

The first time | tried to contain my darkness, | ended up in a hospital for a

week. Everyone got so freaked out. Lex refused to leave my side for the entire time.

| tried releasing it and ended up blasting myself a couple of feet in the air. | landed on my left arm and broke it. Thankfully, werewolf bones healed quickly. It still hurt like hell and | still had to lay in the hospital bed for a week with my brother snoring in my ear the entire time.

“As | was saying,” Anna continued, “she ended up in a hospital for a week. It was a powerful blast and that’s when we knew that we were dealing with something powerful.”

| felt Hunter tense up. He bent his head and k*issed my shoulder. “What else have you tried?” he asked, looking back up at Anna.

“Emma and | tried to use our magic to pull the darkness out of her,” Anna sighed. “That didn’t work. It almost killed her.” Hunter growled, tightening his arms around me.

“I've tried using my light magic to erase the darkness, but it always won and the only thing it did was exhaust me,” | sighed, making Hunter look down at me.

He took a deep breath and leaned his forehead against mine. “lam so sorry, Angel,” he mumbled. “We will find a way. | promise.” His soft, reassuring voice made me believe that it would be possible.

“I've tried potions and spells, but everything we tried just made it worse,” Anna sighed. “It would either cause an eruption of her darkness, or it would exhaust her to the point of having to go to the hospital.”

“F*uck,” Hunter mumbled as he ran his f*ingers through his hair. “What did you do to contain it then?”

“| found a way to suppress it,” | said, making him look down at me. “I found a way to fight against it. I’m still not sure how, but I’ve been doing it for years now. | sometimes have a bad day, though.”

Hunter caressed my cheek.

“You've been having more bad days lately?” he asked me quietly.

| nodded and took a deep breath.

“Meeting you made it harder to contain,” | mumbled. “My emotions have a large impact on it.” Hunter tightened his jaw and nodded. “Understandable.”

“There is still one more thing we haven't tried,” Lex said, making me look at him.

| narrowed my eyes at him. | tried to mind-link him to tell him to stop, but he blocked me.

“Lex, no,” | said out loud instead.

“What?” Hunter asked immediately. “We can try it. | can help.”

“What are you talking about, honey?” my mom asked quietly.

“| already told you no, Alex,” | said sternly. “Let it go.”

“lam not letting it go, Sophia,” he growled. “It could help you. Why do you have to be so stubborn?” | clenched my fists and tightened my jaw. | tried to mind-link him again, but he kept blocking me. “lam not being stubborn,” | said through my teeth. “I am not doing it. | am not putting you in danger.” Lex sighed and rolled his eyes. “I won't be in danger, Fia.”

“We don’t know that,” | argued. “You are insane for suggesting...” “Okay, enough,” my mom sighed, interrupting our fight. “Can one of you tell us what the hell you are talking about?”

| narrowed my eyes at my brother. He sighed and looked at our mom. | wouldn’t do it, no matter what he said. | wouldn’t put him through that. | wouldn’t put him in danger.

“| suggested that she transferred a part of her darkness to me,” Lex said, making my heart race. “She can do it with her light magic. | don’t see a reason why she couldn’t do it with her darkness as well. It would be easier to deal with if we both dealt with it.”

My mom’s eyes widened. She looked from Lex to me.

“That could work,” Anna mumbled, making me look at her.

“No,” | said sternly. “I am not doing it. | am not putting him in danger. Forget it.”

“Mom,” Lex sighed. “You agree with me, don’t you? It could work.”

| looked at my mom. She was staring in front of herself and she looked worried.

“Maybe,” she mumbled, furrowing her eyebrows. “But Sophie is right, Alex. It’s dangerous.” “| don’t care,” Lex said, clenching his fists. “It is dangerous for her to have so much of it.” “I'm used to it,” | said, making Lex look at me.

He took a deep breath and released it slowly.

“| will do it,” Hunter said, making me gasp and look at him.

My eyes widened to the point where | thought that they would fall out of their sockets.

“Are you insane?” | mumbled. “No. No one is doing it. | am not doing it. Stop bringing it up.” Hunter looked at me and gave me a small smile.

“You will transfer it to me, love,” he said softly. “I would do anything to make you safe. | will be okay. Everything will be okay.” He leaned in and k*issed my forehead softly.

No. | wasn’t going to do it. | wasn’t going to put him or Lex in danger. | could deal with it on my own. | would find a way. | always found a way.
