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
ELIOTI had just finished calling Jayden when I heard a movement outside my door. But before I could order the person to come in, the door slowly opened and revealed my lovely mate behind it."Have you done calling?" She asked, with only her head popping out of the door. Her eyes finished scanning me and the room, checking the situation before she could interrupt.But did I already say she could visit me anytime, even if I was in the middle of work or a discussion?"Yes. Come in, baby."She opened the door wider and slid herself in. Only then did I could see her completely. She was wearing an all-black training suit, which fitted her body well.She was always beautiful."Can we talk?" She asked again, walking toward me.My brows furrowed as I prepared for it. Whenever Hannah threw that question, I felt like going to jump. "Yes."Then I noticed she directed her steps to her favorite spot in my office. I loved it, too, because it was the perfect zone to fuck her."El." She called my nam
HANNAHI couldn't believe what I saw. Eliot was raging in front of the female warriors, and the reason itself was unbelievable. He couldn't see me being hit by Kristin, my opponent.Fiona was mad at him. Of course. So was I.Thus, she kept growling at him while I talked to him through his mind until he saved the weapon. He told me to always keep one, but I'm surprised he was used to his own people.Fiona looked at the surrounding people, relieved after their Alpha was calm. And they deliberately moved away to give us a moment, precisely for me to scold him."Are you out of your mind?" I snarled at him as I was dressing behind the tree. Meanwhile, he covered me from everyone's eyes."I'm sorry, baby. It's a reflex." He repeated the same words."What if you really kill her? You will make me feel guilty for causing her pain or, the worst, death.""I'm sorry." He reached for my arms when I was dressed entirely. Then I turned my body around, so we faced each other. "I won't do it again. I p
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
