章 153: He Owns All Of Her

"Goddess, this is Victor," Hunter said, his tone casual but Hera detected the exhaustion in his voice. "He's a friend," he added as if to confirm her thoughts. 

'He always knows what I'm thinking!'

Hera's lips twitched on their own accord in a barely-there smile. She tried hard to hide her smile because if she didn't, unshed tears would flow out of her eyelids. Hera blinked back her tears before glancing at the stranger. Somehow, he didn't look scary anymore. 

'Because Hunter is standing right beside you.'

Her smart brain supplied helpfully. It was true, though. With Hunter by her side, spreading his stance protectively, nothing and no one would scare her off.
