NoahNoah stood in the foyer of his spacious home, listening to the sound of Zoe’s laughter fading as she left for her bachelorette party, tiara askance on her head.“See you later, honey!” she called out, waving as she climbed into the waiting limousine, where all of her friends were already drinki
Guilt gnawed at him as he remembered accusing Hannah of cheating all those months ago. The memory of that night, of Hannah slapping him so hard he had fallen, played on repeat in his mind, fresh as ever despite how much time had passed.He could still feel the sting of her palm against his cheek if
HannahI wiped the sweat from my face and neck with a towel, gulping down water from my bottle. My muscles ached pleasantly from the intense workout, my limbs feeling delightfully loose and limber.“Great session today, Hannah,” Drake said, clapping me on the shoulder. He might have even been more b
I pushed against his chest, but he didn’t budge. “That’s ridiculous. I don’t want you, David. You’re full of yourself and rude.” I sniffed, nose wrinkling at the scent of alcohol. “And you’re drunk as hell right now.”He chuckled, the sound sending chills down my spine. “Such a little minx. I bet yo
Hannah“Alpha Hannah, you are under arrest for the physical assault of Alpha David. You are ordered to come to Darkmoon pack with us immediately.”I stared dumbfoundedly at the men on my doorstep, too shocked to even speak.The assault of David… He assaulted me! What I had done was self defense!But
Great. Just what I needed—an audience. I could almost hear the whispers starting already, the rumors that would no doubt spread like wildfire.The great female Alpha Hannah, arrested by Darkmoon… In her dressing gown, no less.But I held my chin high, even when I heard the whispers about my breasts
HannahNoah held his jacket out to me, the warmth of the soft fabric all too inviting against the coldness of the room. “Here,” he said softly. “To cover yourself.”I blinked owlishly at him for several long moments, my mind and my heart warring against each other. On one hand, it was so, so relievi
NoahThe night before…Noah’s hands trembled as he stared at the photo strip, his eyes wide with disbelief. The images before him told a story he couldn’t remember living, and yet every fiber of his being recognized them as true. There he was, years younger, his arm draped casually around Hannah’s s
“Almost done…” she murmured, leaning in with a touch of gloss for my lips. I couldn’t help but laugh at how serious she looked, as if I were some delicate art piece she was trying to perfect. Finally, she stepped back with a smile. “There. Now, the dress.” Amber was already at my side, helping m
Hannah The next morning, I woke with a flutter in my stomach that had nothing to do with morning sickness. Sunlight filtered softly through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. I blinked up at the ceiling, letting that first realization sink in. It was the day of our wedding. In le
Hannah Mornings had gotten louder since Melody learned to walk. And she wasn’t just walking—she was trying to run, arms flapping and her chubby legs barely holding her up as she went. This morning, she seemed to be hell bent on dashing down the hallway as Noah tried to brush his teeth and I hunted
I laughed, hoping it sounded more natural than I felt. “Hey, I can spoil you once in a while if I want. Just because it’s a Thursday doesn’t mean I can’t surprise you.” We chatted about our day as we ate, filling each other in on all the usual things. But every so often, his eyes would flicker to
Hannah My hands shook a little as I straightened the delicate flower crown over Melody’s soft hair, adjusting it so the petals framed her tiny face just right. She blinked up at me with those wide, innocent eyes, slapping her hands contentedly on the top of her high chair. I smiled as I ran my f
Hannah By the time we stepped out of the ring, it felt as if my entire body was on fire. Every muscle seemed to be taut, every heartbeat one thump away from shifting. I couldn’t tell if I wanted to run circles around the building or maybe tear up the walls like a caged animal. What was wrong wit
Hannah For what felt like the hundredth time that morning, I sidestepped Drake’s punch with ease, narrowly dodging his hook. Training with him had become an obsession of mine lately. He’d pushed me in ways I hadn’t expected, helping me learn how to use my speed and endurance instead of relying on
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
