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.
