HannahMy fingers nervously gripped the polished wood, my thighs clenching against one another beneath the table.Flashes of last night’s activities with Noah flickered through my mind, unbidden and entirely too vivid.The way his hands had roamed my body, the heat of his breath on my neck, the feel
There was confusion in my expression.I didn’t know what I was doing anymore. What was more, I didn’t know why I was doing this to myself. Why I was allowing my heart to wander toward—I couldn’t finish the thought. I didn’t want to admit, even to myself, that I might be developing feelings for Noah
HannahMy heart was pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat.It couldn’t be…The post that had seemed so innocuous, so easily dismissible, had come back to haunt me in the worst possible way. My hands shook as I scrolled through the comments, each one more vicious than the last.“I… I don’t un
“Luna Hannah! Alpha Noah is in a meeting,” the receptionist called out, but I didn’t care. To hell with meetings. This was important.I slammed through the glass doors leading to the conference room, where Noah was indeed in the middle of a meeting with several of his business associates. Their head
HannahI circled the living room, my bare feet silent on the plush carpet—and I was glad for it, too, because otherwise my relentless pacing would have driven the entire house mad by now.The sound of furniture being moved and drawers being emptied continued to echo from upstairs, causing me to flin
I stared at Zoe, swallowing hard. Her eyes were wide and pleading, tears shimmering in their depths.I looked up at Noah, who remained silent, seemingly waiting for me to make the call.My gaze flicked back to Zoe. Normally, I would have called her a liar. Perhaps I would have… reveled in the though
Noah“Tell me everything you know about WhiteRabbit.”Noah leaned back in his chair, regarding his Beta carefully. The morning sun shone through the office windows, but Noah had not yet slept. He couldn’t sleep last night; there was too much to do. Too many moving parts to manage, too much damage to
“She still plans on divorcing you,” his wolf reminded him. “You’ll just let her leave? So she can take over Silvermoon?”Noah closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. For a moment, an image flickered through his mind: Hannah, shifting out of her wolf form, the deer’s blood coating her lips and chin an
Noah pushed himself harder, letting out a playful howl as he gained on her, the hunt pulsing through his veins like a drug. She glanced back, her ears twitching, and he saw her eyes flash with excitement before she put on an extra burst of speed. It became a game of cat and mouse, each of them pus
Noah For the millionth time that morning, Noah’s gaze drifted from the stack of papers on his desk to the stretch of forest that was visible through the office window. The afternoon light filtered through the trees, casting that familiar, deep green hue over the landscape. Just seeing the expans
Noah didn’t say anything, just looked at it with a faint smile, his hand sliding over Melody’s stroller handle. I could tell that he liked it. A lot. “That’s beautiful,” I said, glancing at the price tag. “If you want it, you should buy it.” I gestured to my own bags sitting in the back of the str
Hannah Amber’s big move weighed on me for days. I was happy for her, genuinely. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t going to miss her like hell. And with her going-away party coming up, I wanted to do something special before she left. I thought about finding her a small going-away gift, just a
Amber shook her head, blinking quickly to dispel her tears. “It’s like this weight I can’t shake. No amount of therapy is helping. And I realized... I think I just need to get away. I need to start over, somewhere far from here. Somewhere I can figure out who I really am, without all the... the bagg
Hannah When Amber called and said she wanted a girls’ night, I nearly dropped my phone. The last time we had all had a proper girls’ night, just us, had been… Well, I actually couldn’t remember the last time. Maybe not since Melody had been born. Of course I said I would go even though it was a
Noah took a deep breath, nodding. “You’re right.” “And then there’s your father,” he mused after a beat of silence. “He thought he was protecting you, setting you up for a safe future by arranging our marriage, but… he never really stopped to think about what you were getting into. He never took t
Hannah It took some time to get Melody to bed that night, what with all the sugar and excitement of the overwhelming day. Noah and I had to take turns pacing back and forth across the nursery, bouncing her and cooing to her until she finally gave up and let her eyes flutter closed. By the time s
Sighing, I said softly, “I could say the same for myself. But people change.” Her gaze lifted to mine. “Yeah, I guess they do. Thank you, Hannah. Really. I wouldn’t have even thought about it if you hadn’t put in a good word for me.” I shrugged, brushing it off with a smile. “I just suggested th
