HANNAH"How's your head?""You've asked me before.""I want to know now."I was silent while striding my feet toward the kitchen. Lunch was still an hour ahead, but I was already hungry.I should have gone to the bakery if Eliot didn't show up. So the only choice was to find something in the kitchen."Do I look in pain?" I questioned him back. He could have seen that. I did activities normally, so the answer should be obvious, right?"No. But maybe you hide it.""I'm not hiding anything.""Are you? Why do I feel otherwise? You look like you are hiding something from me."It was true, but I wasn't ready yet to tell him.The smell of dishes omega was cooking hit me the moment I stepped into the kitchen. It made my stomach growl loudly and embarrassed me!"Sorry. Your food smelled so good." I flashed an embarrassed smile when the growl drew their attention to me.Tania, who was in charge of our meal, chuckled. "Can you wait? It'll be ready soon.""I want to, but my stomach can't wait anym
ELIOT"You look so happy, Alpha." Jenna, the Beta, Female, commented as I stepped inside the pack house with Tristan trailing behind me. "Is something good happening?""Yes. He didn't fight with Hannah." And my fucking Gamma preceded me from answering."Is that true?""Yes. I saw them sitting side by side in peace.""Wow. It's good news."The other people who knew about Hannah and me were Jenna and Nicole. Daryl and Tristan were the ones telling them, not me. But I didn't have a problem with that because they would know sooner or later."I think so. And I think we will have a luna sooner.""We must celebrate it."I shook my head in disbelief. Their females were always full of excitement. It could be what we needed in this house and to complement us. And if I had my Luna, this house would be alive."What thing must we celebrate?" Nicole came out from the basement where the laundry room was."Oh, baby." Like a pup seeing his mom, Tristan ran to his mate. Seconds later, the sound of their
ELIOTAs planned, we discussed the ball after lunch. We used the dining room as base camp because Danny's office couldn't accommodate all of us together.For me, I didn't care where it was. As long as I could be with Hannah, wherever was okay.But it wasn't okay anymore as I had to leave the place to round up the territory. We decided the males would handle security, so we need to see and discuss amping it up. Many werewolves would gather here, and we must ensure they were safe.Meanwhile, the females would prepare the pack house to welcome guests and manage the event. It was another critical role as the ball was the highlight.In conclusion, we must give our best to welcome the guests."Your eyes will pop out."Tristan's words snapped me back to the present. I was staring at Hannah, who looked so mesmerizing in her blue dress. It complemented her eyes well, as if blue was destined to be her color.No.She was beautiful in everything, even when she wore nothing."We should go, Alpha."
HANNAHIn the following days, we spent time arranging everything. Tania and Clara went city more often to buy or order needed stuff. Meanwhile, Danny, Joe, and Percy seriously prepared warriors with Gamma Tristan's help.How about me?Of course, I helped them. I would go with Tania or Clara to the city and help them with the selection.Like yesterday.Suddenly, I determined to repaint the wall, to which my brother agreed. Thus, Tania and I were leaving the territory to pick the color."I'm confused between white or warm beige," I stated my opinion when some colors had been drawn from the collection. "But light grey is also good." And confusion went over because all colors were good. It would make the pack house look fresh and spacious.Tania was silent, but her gaze focused on the example color. It was visible she was thinking about it. "Let's use white and warm beige."It was initially what I had in mind when I voiced the idea. I searched for some inspiration online and loved the res
TANIAI couldn't understand her anymore. It felt like she was no longer Hannah I used to know. And to quote Alpha Eliot, which I heard from my mate, she changed over a night.I didn't wholly agree with it, as I still found old Hannah in her. But yeah, I couldn't deny she was more cautious, assertive, and determined than before. She even requested training. Something old Hannah might not do because she relied on her father, former Alpha Alberto, and her brother, current Alpha Danny. And they did nothing about that, instead pampered her with love and comfort.Not that I envied her. Never. I also never bothered about that. Just when changes came, it felt odd.I tried to act normal as I did daily. I watched Hannah being eager for training every day. Then she would come to the kitchen to ask for recipes. She suddenly requested changing in the omega assigned to do her bedroom. And most bizarre was her on-and-off relationship with Alpha Eliot.But again, I pretended nothing happened until we
ALEXIAI was stunned when everything happened. It began with his addictive scent till I found his blue eyes, and those all felt unbelievable.I finally found him. My mate. The best male I had ever seen."Mine."He said a word that I also had in my head. He was mine.He walked closer and said nothing when suddenly he grabbed my hand. Only then I realized we became the limelight of Tania, Hannah, and a male I didn't know.My mate brought me to a room and ensured the door was closed before moving in front of me.Oh, Goddess! He was so good. He had a bulky frame that I always desired from a mate.I loved his muscles."What's your name?"And his deep voice, which sounded so sexy. He was definitely beyond perfect."Alexia.""Alexia." He called for my name, which caused my legs to feel giddy. "Such a beautiful name. Just as beautiful as you are."How could I stay still if this situation went longer?I flashed him a broad smile, the widest I could ever show to someone. "Thank you. And yours?"
HANNAHThe plan was to drop Alexia off at her boyfriend's house to pack her belongings as her father asked her to come home immediately. And because I needed to return to the territory, I would also drive her to the airport.It seemed logical and not at the same time. But since I agreed to help Alexia, I was left with no choice. We would see how this would lead."I don't see any urgency on why you're here," I said to Eliot, sitting beside me. My eyes went straight ahead, waiting for Alexia's figure to come out from the car in front of us.Yes, I knew it wasn't a plan to bring my brother and Eliot with us. But they insisted."I'm sticking to you."I rolled my eyes and then huffed while placing my arms against my chest. "It's ridiculous. Everything will be much easier without you two.""I will stay overnight. Open your door for me." Instead of answering me, he talked nonsense."You know the rules.""I know. I just want to hold your hand while sleeping."I raised an eyebrow, doubting his
ELIOTThe following days went by evenly. There was no commotion between Hannah and me, though I became busier, which caused me to hardly visit her. And video call wasn't enough because I needed the sparks."Aren't you too early to leave?" Danny caught me out of Hannah's room quietly. I didn't want to make any voice that would disturb her sleep. "You even came after she went to bed."Yes. I arrived here around midnight and went straight to Hannah's room. She was already asleep, so I only contented myself by looking at her sleeping face. And three hours later, I must leave her, still asleep."I have a lot to do in the day," I answered while striding my way to the stairs, and I wasn't surprised he was following me. "And you? Why did you awake so early?""Same reason as yours."An Alpha was the same everywhere. We had a lot of jobs because we handled a pack. A bunch of people's lives depended on us.So if you find a lazy and negligent Alpha, run away immediately. They would share their mi
ONE YEAR LATER.HANNAH"Roland, look at Daddy. Don't I look good too?"My eyes automatically darted from my reflection to the ones behind me. Not by turning my body around. I just moved my point of view to them, whose reflection appeared in the mirror. And they were none other than my mate and our pup. Eliot and Roland.Roland came to us four months ago and was healthy. Our families were more than happy to have him, especially Eliot's mother, Luna Sofia. At least he could bring back the smile missing from her since Alpha David was dead. She offered to help us take care of Roland. So instead of omega, we gave our pup life to her.Roland made bubbling sounds that no one could understand except him. But we pretended to converse with him like we knew what he said."Yes. You can do something like that when you grow up. I bet you'll look marvelous. And every female's eyes will go on you."I rolled my eyes at his statement. How could he teach him that?"Don't say nonsense, El. He might not u
HANNAH"What do you mean?" His brows furrowed as he threw the question."Sorry, El, but I already knew I was pregnant a few days ago." I ended my confession by biting my bottom lip. He would be mad, wouldn't he?"I don't understand. If you already knew, why didn't you tell right away?"Because I wanted to drift his anger away. But I didn't say it loud. Or not yet.I moved closer and, again, rested my head on his chest. "You look so angry in the barrack, and I want to calm you down. And I couldn't keep it any longer." I brushed my palm against his broad and firm chest as I continued, "Remember the day you woke up in Wild Fire Pack? I offered good news and bad news, right?""So you knew it all along." He sighed in disappointment."But I really forgot about the good news because we were too carried away with the plan. And the next day was the day. I couldn't disturb you. Then after we focused on our pack, I preferred to rest when we got a break. I'm sorry. I swear I didn't want to hold i
HANNAHWe ended up walking to the nearest store and still stood outside as confusion hit me. How should I tell Eliot if I already knew the answer, even without the pregnancy test kit? But then, it would spoil the excitement on his face when he tugged me inside."Good evening, Alpha, Luna." Bella, the owner, greeted us. "How can I help you?""Is there a pregnancy test kit?" He beat me for asking, making guilt sip into my heart. I just hoped he wouldn't create a fuss when I could finally tell him the truth."Yes. We have various types and-""Give me the accurate one." He said again, even before Bella finished her explanation.But she seemed understanding as a smile formed on her lips. "Sure. How many do you need?""One.""Five."Eliot and I replied at the same time. I rolled my eyes at the amount he mentioned. Five? Was he kidding?"Just one, please," I uttered to the female waiting for our order, letting her know I was taking charge now.However, it looked like it did not sit well with
HANNAHEverything went in a daze after that day. Eliot and others defeated the rogues and took our pack back. It was the news we were waiting for. And we were more glad there were no more casualties on our side, although some warriors were badly wounded. Especially ours. Tristan.Poor him. He should take all the pain rogues gave him.However, Lilith was a great help. After stunned Janet, she helped by making a potion to heal him faster. And in at most two days, the color returned to Tristan's face as he regained consciousness.Oh, one more. Nicole was alive. Like Jenna, Eliot told her to go to Silver Crest Pack to ask for help, and I was glad she managed to arrive on time.Then we focused on calculating our losses. Yes. We had many casualties besides Eliot, Daryl, and Tristan's father. But we were grateful Luna Sofia and the other mothers were alive. It would be hard if we lost all of them at once.We dedicated a day to mourning for the losses. We were in sorrow and at the lowest stat
ELIOTWe managed to get into Blood Moon Pack. It all was with the help of Lilith. She cast something which made the rogues guarding the border fall into a trance. It worked for a minute, just creating an opening, but it was more than enough. We could use that brief time to take them down.We divided into four groups, each having someone to take charge as a communicator. We needed to act simultaneously, meaning Lilith must do her magic at the same time too. It must be hard, but she didn't complain. Thus, we kept going.We ran deeper into my territory while fighting rogues along the way until we arrived at the center area, where people told me where Janet was. They also informed me that they captured Tristan and probably tortured him.The last thought ignited my anger as I paced faster to the center area.Janet was already waiting with some rogues behind her, smirking at us wickedly. It looked like she didn't know we had a witch on our side, too.Kai wanted to kill her, but I reminded h
HANNAHI agreed with his decision. What choice did I have, though? I might ruin the plan with my stubbornness if I insisted on tagging along, although I knew I might be useless. Even when Daryl asked me to lead the raid, I actually didn't know what to do. The last thing I wanted was to lead them more to their downfall. We wanted to take our pack back, not risk their lives and the people who helped us.Thus, I couldn't complain more if it was really for the best.Alpha Zurin provided me with a room in the pack house and ensured his people would help me with everything. Then he, his Beta, and his warriors, together with Eliot and Daryl, left for Moon Crest Pack to join with other troops. Oh, Lilith would join, too, as she was the key to getting inside Blood Moon Pack.They left after breakfast. Even though it was hard, I didn't have any option except to let them go. It was reality. We must get through this to grasp our happiness. My only hope was they would succeed and return to their f
ELIOTI saw dark. As far as my eyes could grasp, it was only dark. I couldn't even see my own body because the darkness was everywhere. And it seemed endless.And cold.It was weird, wasn't it? I didn't know my body was attached to me, but I felt cold in all senses.But then it changed. I suddenly felt warmth in the air, and it wrapped me in a comfortable hug. And somehow, it reminded me of my mate. The feeling was very similar, making me miss her so much.Kai whimpered in agreement since it had been long since the last time we had her in our arms.Then I felt strong energy coursing through my body. And slowly but surely, I started to regain my sense. I could feel my hands when they coiled into fists and my legs when I swung ahead.But it was still dark.A moment later, I began to hear something. It was sobs like someone was crying. And the more I listened, the more I slowly recognized it. It sounded like Hannah. She was crying.A realization jolted me, and the next thing I knew, I sa
HANNAHI quickened my steps, leaving the room, then took the stairs, which led to the first floor, where the main entrance to the building was. I must go to get the details of the news."Hannah, you can't leave the room yet," the warrior guarding my room said, trailing behind me.However, I didn't stop or even reply to him. I kept walking until the end of the stairs. Then I turned left and found the main entrance."Alpha Matthew will be mad if he finds out you leave your room." He said again. Now he was walking beside me.How about Lilith?I asked her to wait in the room."What's your name?""Paul.""Don't worry, Paul. I will tell your Alpha that you try to stop me, but I insist on going." There was no way I would stop. It was my mate they talked about."Luna Hannah!" He tried not to shout at me, frustrated with my stubbornness.But I ran instead because I noticed Daryl's figure far ahead. He was rushing in my direction. And as we got closer, I saw the worry on his face."Luna! You sh
HANNAH"Lilith?" I asked as soon as an unfamiliar figure entered my view. A young female came, escorted by Daryl and Alpha Matthew.She nodded her head, a weak smile plastered on her face. "Yes. And you must be Luna Hannah."If it was another day, I would welcome her excitedly, as I was desperately looking for her. But the situation made me even hard to return her smile. "Hannah. Just call me Hannah. I'm not Luna yet." Then I motioned with my hand for her to take a seat next to my bed. "Please sit."She walked toward me, and I felt Daryl and Alpha Matthew's eyes following her closely. They still had their guard on."I'm sorry you must travel a long way to get here. As you see, I'm still recovering. And I'm actually on the run." I wanted to run on my paws to get to her place sooner, if possible. But the wound on my back hadn't completely closed."I heard what happened to your pack. I'm sorry."My pack.Eliot.I blinked back the tears that were about to come out. There was something mor
