| didn’t want to do this.

| didn’t want him to know anything. He could use it against her. He could hurt her. He could tell the others and they could come for her.

We never told anyone the truth about Fia’s magic. We never told anyone how dangerous her darkness really was. We were afraid that others would come for her. We were afraid that they would want to destroy her and her magic.

Just the thought of someone hurting her made me see red. | would f*ucking kill everyone who dared to t*ouch her.

| wasn’t sure about Hunter. He seemed like he really wanted her, but he didn’t know the truth. He didn’t know how dangerous she was. Well, not her, but her magic.

Fia’s darkness was draining the light out of her. Each time it surfaced or Fia tried to destroy it, it would kill a part of her light magic. It would completely drain out Fia’s energy. Fia would have to rest for days after it. One time when we were around 15 years old, the darkness almost killed her. | hated remembering that. | hated remembering how it felt to almost lose her.

Are you completely sure about this, Fia? | mind-linked her again. We can still end this conversation. 1am sure, Lex. She said softly. He deserves to know.

If he rejects you and tells someone... | spoke, but she interrupted me.

| will beg him not to. Fia said. | will find a way, Lex. Don’t worry.

| furrowed my eyebrows and squeezed her shoulders. Was she serious?

Are you crazy? | sighed. You are my twin. We are just about to tell a stranger that you are the most dangerous being on this planet. He could use this information against you. He could tell other people. They could take you away from me. They could hurt you. | am not worried, Fia. | am f*ucking terrified.

| could feel her tense up. She glanced up at me.

| know, Lex. She mumbled. | am scared too, but | have a feeling that he won’t do that. Even if he decides to reject me, he won't tell anyone about me.

How can you be so sure? | asked, frowning at her. We don’t know him. He is a stranger, Fia.

Fia sighed.

This is a bad idea, Fia. | said. We shouldn't do this. We should... “Alex?” my mom’s voice interrupted our mind-link. | looked at her.

“lam so sorry, Alpha Hunter,” my mom sighed. “They always do this.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

| looked at Hunter who was staring at Fia and me with a worried look on his face.

Fia and | would sometimes get so focused on our conversation that we would tune out everything and everyone around us. “lam sorry, Hunter,” Fia said softly. “Lex and | sometimes get lost in our conversation.”

Hunter smiled at her. “That’s okay, my love. | understand.”

Fia glanced up at me.

| don’t like him. | mind-linked her. Why does he already have a nickname for you?

Fia sighed and looked back at Hunter.

“My darkness is dangerous, Hunter,” she said. “It is draining the light out of me. I've been pushing it back and suppressing it, but it always finds a way to come out. It will consume me whole if | let it. It will consume me whole if | lose control over it. | don’t know who | would become if it took over

me. | don’t know if | would even survive it.” | closed my eyes and took a deep breath. | wasn’t going to let that happen. | would find a way to take a part of it from her. | wasn’t going to let it kill her.

Hunter growled, making me open my eyes and look at him. His fists were clenched. He was staring at my sister with a pained expression on his face. “What are you saying, Sophia?” he asked, his voice trembling.

“lam saying that | could become a very dangerous creature,” Fia said quietly. “I could hurt you. | could hurt other people.” | bent down and k*issed the top of her head.

| will never let that happen, Fia. | mind-linked her. | will never let it take over you.

Based on what I'd seen in the past, the darkness wouldn’t take over her. It would kill her.

“| don’t give a s*hit about that, Sophia,” Hunter growled, making me furrow my eyebrows. “You are mine. If you become the darkest creature on this planet, you would still be mine. | already told you that nothing would make me reject you. | am talking about the last thing you said. You wouldn't survive it?”

| was surprised. He didn’t care about her darkness? He would still want her even if all the light disappeared?

“You don’t care about the darkness?” Fia asked what | was thinking.

| glanced at my mom and Anna. They were looking at Hunter with small smiles on their faces. | sighed internally. | wished that my dad or uncle Andrew were here. My mom and Anna liked Hunter. | still wasn’t convinced.

Hunter sighed and shook his head. “I already told you that | don’t care, Sophia. You are mine and you will always be mine. The only thing | care about is your safety and happiness.”

That was a good answer.

But | still wasn’t convinced.

Fia took a deep breath and released it slowly.

“Why wouldn't you survive it, Sophia?” Hunter asked, clenching his fists tightly.

“Because the darkness isn’t just draining the light out of her,” Anna spoke, making us all look at her. “It is draining the life out of her as well. Every time we would try to get rid of it, it would almost kill her. Every time the darkness would come out, Sophia would get sick and it would take her a long time to recover. We don’t know what would happen if the darkness came out completely.”

Hunter moved before any of us could react. He jumped up, grabbed Sophia in his arms, and moved to the other corner of the room. His eyes kept changing colors. His canines and claws elongated. He kept growling and snarling at us.

| saw ftucking red.

| would kill him if he hurt her.
