CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE
The following morning, I find myself at the airport with Hannah, waiting to pick up Alpha Collins. It's all part of our elaborate plan to show the world that we're on good terms and that the scandalous article holds no truth. At first, Collins didn't agree to deceive the public, but after I gathered evidence proving he was behind the article and threatened to sue him for it, he had no choice but to cooperate.
As we step out of the car, I slide my arm around Hannah's waist, pulling her flush against me. She looks up at me, her eyes questioning my sudden display of possessiveness.? The answer is simple: I need to stake my claim to show that smug bastard Collins exactly who Hannah belongs to. She's mine, now and forever, and no amount of underhanded scheming will change that.
Holding her possessively, I lead us to the base of the aircraft stairs and wait, my jaw clenched so tightly it aches. It doesn't take long before Collins emerges, his expensive shoes clicking against

I take a deep breath as I stand outside, savoring the momentary peace and quiet. But my solitude is short-lived as a familiar voice calls out my name, causing me to turn around in surprise. My eyes widen as I realize who it is - the last person I expected to see after the events of yesterday."Alpha Collins," I greet him."Just Collins is fine," he replies, chuckling as he walks towards me. "I can't believe I never corrected you on that."I can tell he's trying to lighten the mood, but I'm not in the frame of mind for his charm. "What can I do for you?" I ask, forcing a smile onto my face.After Alex accused Collins of being responsible for leaking those damning photos to the press, I initially dismissed it as a baseless accusation fueled by jealousy.

The press conference didn't rattle me nearly as much as tonight's high-stakes event. Any misstep here could cost Alex his future as Alpha, a consequence I desperately want to avoid. While his accusations of cheating infuriated me, I never wished for him to be stripped of his rightful position in such a humiliating manner.As we step through the grand doors of the ballroom, every eye turns towards us, the weight of their scrutiny palpable.

They think I can't hear them, but they forget we're werewolves - no amount of hushed gossip can escape our heightened senses."She looks like hell," they murmur, wrinkling their noses at my disheveled appearance and the stench of stale alcohol and cigarette smoke clinging to my skin. "Hasn't bathed in days from the smell of it."They're not wrong. I've been drowning my sorrows in a haze of booze and nicotine, letting myself wallow in the filth of my own misery.

HANNAH I accompany Alex to the airport to pick up Jason’s younger sister the following morning. He’s too swamped with work to go himself, so he asked Alex for help. Alex thought it would be a nice opportunity for me to meet her, given my close friendship with Jason. As we stand there, Alex holding a sign with her name, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and curiosity. What would she be like? Would we get along? I pull out my phone to check the time, wondering how much longer we’ll have to wait, when I hear Alex call out to someone across the terminal. Looking up, I see a stunning blonde with piercing blue eyes walking towards us, a radiant smile on her face. She practically throws herself into Alex’s arms, hugging him warmly. “How are you doing, Mila?” Alex asks, pulling back to look at her, his own smile warm and genuine. “Good, you?” She replies, her eyes sparkling with joy. “Good, too. I’d like you to meet my mate, Hannah,” Alex says, turning to me with a proud grin.
