Chapter 160: He's Powerful

Hunter pulled her more into his chest and looked down at their joined hands. He gently squeezed her hand in assurance. Hera tilted her head up to stare at him. Hunter loosened his hold on her shoulder and rubbed her arm soothingly. 

He greedily stole a kiss. 

Hunter was afraid of losing her. What if she decided it was better to leave him after knowing his truth? Why would she willingly put herself in danger and stay in his life? He knew he was selfish, but he couldn't risk losing her. He would have to wait until she grows up and harbours enough courage to get exposed to his real world. 

One look at her frightened face and he changed his mind. Hunter strongly believed in his gut feeling, and he never proceeds if he gets a second thought. He knew Hera wouldn't be able to digest the hard truth yet. And the last thing he wanted was for her to be scared of him. 

'You're not ready yet, Goddess. I've to wait a little while longer.'
