ELIOTThis morning was fantastic. No. It wasn't only this morning. It was beautiful since Hannah stayed in the pack house with us... me, precisely. Despite the danger outside, she brightened every corner of the house with merely her presence.It was the right choice to bring her here.After hot morning sex and pleasant talks in late breakfast, we separated into different rooms. Yes, only room because we were still in the pack house.She once spoke about being imprisoned by me. It was true because I wouldn't let her outside far from the house. I couldn't mind-link her, nor could my people, so better to keep her close.She said she would bake cookies, and I couldn't wait to taste them.My thought was interrupted when a knock came on my office door and soon revealed my Beta. Daryl looked serious and hurried."Alpha, Houston's family asks permission to leave the territory. They want to visit family in the Silver Mountain Pack."My brows automatically furrowed at the news. "Don't they know
HANNAH"I'm really sorry for your loss," I said my condolences to Lizzy, patting her back to share the sadness I felt. Turned out it was her brother who was attacked and killed. And the female who was missing was none other than her sister-in-law.Fuck the rogue!I knew she was crying though she was better at hiding her sobs. But shaken shoulders never lied."Thanks, Hannah." Her voice cracked. Then she held me tightly for seconds before letting go. "And thanks for coming all the way here to me. I hear you're staying at the Blood Moon Pack."The news must have spread around. But what should I do? It was the safest way they could think of for me.I wanted to live longer too. At least not die in the rogue's attack and the fate I tried to escape."Yes. Danny said it's better to move there until the danger lessens.""Yes. Listen to your brother. Don't like mine. He's stubborn to drive out of their pack in this situation." Then other tears fell from her eyes."I'm so sorry, Liz."We exchan
HANNAHI felt a squeeze on my hand, and when I turned to the side, I saw Eliot looking at me softly."Ready?"I smiled at him before nodding my head. Then I shifted my gaze back to the front, facing straight ahead at the people sitting in the living room. They were only Beta Daryl, Gamma Tristan, Jenna, and Nicole. They were here to witness me pledging loyalty to this pack."I, Hannah Blaise, denounce Crescent Pack and Alpha Danny Blaise as my Alpha," I stated in one breath before I took another as I felt a snap in my chest. It was a broken link that indicated I was no longer part of my brother's pack, the one I had been part of since I was born. It made me mellow, but I had decided, and no matter what it was, they were always my family.I flashed a smile, waiting for the following statement with enthusiasm in my eyes. "I, Hannah Blaise, accept Eliot Robertson and pledge my loyalty to you as my Alpha and Blood Moon Pack as my pack."After I finished the words, Eliot took my hand and c
HANNAHWhy did I feel odd about the witch?Was it because it was new to me, as I had never met one in my life?I didn't think so. It was deeper than that, and it felt like something pushed me to dig more into this."Baby."It was better if I knew a witch."Hannah."I gasped when a touch landed on my arm and instantly turned to the side, only to meet Eliot's gaze. "What?" It was an automatic reaction to ask the reason he called for me."You're daydreaming." He pointed out."Huh?" I responded like a stupid because I didn't understand what he meant."I called you twice, and you didn't even blink." He then gently rubbed my arms. "What are you thinking?"I only blinked a few times before a realization hit me. I must have been too focused on my thought. "I read a book, and it keeps ringing in my head.""What book?"I moved to the nightstand and took out a book from the drawer before handing it to him. "I found this in the library.""A witch?""Yes. I asked Jenna, and she said there was a wi
HANNAHI giggled as I walked my steps toward my mate. He was so handsome in black, which I chose to match mine--a button-front midi dress in white.Suddenly I wanted a black and white style with him, so I prepared and lured him to wear it."Why are you here? For what purpose are you visiting me in my workplace?" I replied as I arrived in front of him."I'm checking on you." Then he crushed my lips without notice. And I welcomed him. Always."I heard Joan dropping the package, but I can only see the box here." He said after the kisses ended. His knuckles were brushing my cheeks, sending sparks throughout my body."Yes. He dropped by with the box, and I gave him cookies in exchange. I asked to share them with others.""I heard that too."I squinted my eyes at him suspiciously. How could he know that?"Are you spying on us?"But he let out a loud laugh before pecking my lips. "Joan reported to me. He said thank you. So do I." Then his gaze softened as he continued stroking my cheeks. "It
HANNAHA week passed, and the days were going uneventful. The threat was still lingering out there, but we were better at dealing with it now.I was still staying in the Blood Moon Pack, doing my routines, which added to making snacks or lunch for the warrior. Meanwhile, he allowed me to leave the pack house as far as the warrior barrack. And I occasionally went there with Jenna and Nicole to drop off the food.Today wasn't exceptional. We planned to make lunch for the warrior. We would cook dumpling soup since it was raining, and warm food was the best in this situation.I was in charge of filling dumplings, but because the omegas were still preparing ingredients, I was helping to wash shrimp.But then, a faint cedarwood scent entered my nose. Though it mixed with a lot of smells in the kitchen, I could recognize him, and it was like waking up my mind. He must be home now."I'll go greet your Alpha." I excused myself to Nicole, who was working beside me.She only responded with a smi
HANNAHHe was changed.Since our conversation last night about my plan to return to the Crescent Pack, he was changed. I noticed him repeatedly sighing, and he refused to talk to me.Practically, he was ignoring me.I walked out of the bathroom after changing into lingerie to seduce him into having morning sex before breakfast like we usually did in the past few days. Also, we only slept last night, and I hugged him in my attempt to touch him.But I could merely find no one in our room. My mate was nowhere to be seen.'Eliot.' I tried to hide disappointment when I mind-linked him.Nothing.See?He was upset with me.'Answer me, baby, or I will stop mind-link you.''Yes, baby?' Finally, he responded to me.'You're not in our room. Where are you?''In the office.'"I'll go there.''No. I'll do a run now.I raised an eyebrow. Eliot had never had an early run since we stayed together. He preferred having me in his arms more than anything.'We need to talk, El.' I spoke to the point. It wa
HANNAH"Really?" I asked the boy as I helped him get up. He was small, maybe around three."Yes. It's from the basket." He pointed to the basket close to me.I smiled at him and then pinched his nose lightly. "You're very right. I have chocolate cookies in the basket. Do you want some?" I moved to take the basket and show it to him."Chocolate cookies?""Yes."He bent forward to see inside, and I swore I noticed him sparkling as if he found treasure.I picked one to give to him. "Here. One for you."He had a broad smile receiving the cookie, which soon turned into a giggle. "Daddy, I have a cookie." And running to, I assumed, where his father was."It's Sam, Peter's son. He's one of our warriors." Tristan explained.I nodded my head. "No wonder he's around the barrack."Then we continued our way and entered the building. I was a bit surprised when I found warriors already gathered in the main hall, including little Sam."Luna." A warrior approached me while carrying Sam in his arms. H
