章 246: CHAPTER 246 – Marked

　　Hunter’s POV

　　I could tell that Alex was struggling to leave. He was staring at Stella while she was saying goodbye to her parents.

　　“We will be waiting for you, honey,” Emma said hugging her tightly.

　　“We love you so much, Stella,” Alpha Logan said as he kissed her forehead.

　　“I love you too,” Stella said, smiling softly at both of them.

　　I tightened my hand around hers. I couldn't wait for them to leave so I could be alone with her. I missed her like crazy and I just wanted to spend some time with her. She wasn’t my Sophia, but she was a huge part of her and I loved her as much as I loved Sophia.

　　Emma and Alpha Logan reluctantly let her go and walked out of the room, glancing back at her constantly. Alex was still standing in the room, staring at her like he was afraid she would disappear.

　　“Come here, Alex,” Stella said softly, reaching out for him.

　　He gulped and approached her. She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.
