Hunter’s POV
I had never been in so much pain before.
She didn’t want me. She tensed up when I touched her. She wanted me to leave the room.
Why?
Why, Goddess, why?!
I wanted to scream. I wanted to let Holden out and let him tear everything down. I was so fucking angry and so fucking scared.
Why didn’t she want me? What did I do?
Another wave of pain washed over me and I grunted. I had to lean against the tree to stop myself from falling to my knees.
“Oh, honey,” my mom said quietly as she took my hand in hers.
She caressed my cheek and looked at my dad.
“Everything will be okay, bud,” my dad said quietly. “She is just in shock.”
Yes, but why didn’t she want me there? Why ask everyone to leave? Why didn’t she want me?
I wanted to run back in there and take her into my arms, but my heart would stop if I saw her flinch again. I was so fucking terrified that she wouldn't want me anymore.
