ELIOT"Hannah! Baby! What's happening?" I spoke to my mate in desperation. She didn't answer, and I could only listen to the commotion on the other side. It worsened when I heard Henry's order to leave the car and run back to the border on paws.It only meant one. Something terrible was happening."Fuck!" I cursed, throwing my phone in frustration. I didn't care if I broke my phone and didn't even look back at it. My mind was raging.'Find out what's happening on the southern border and send more warriors there.' I mind-linked my Gamma as I slammed the door open. I couldn't only sit and wait for the news.I needed to see it on my own.'Yes, Alpha.'I ran to the main door and wasted no more time shifting. The south border was quite far, so I couldn't connect with anyone in the area.Fuck!Only if I insisted on driving Hannah would this not happen. At least I could protect her. Now, I was frustrated because I had no news about her.I ran with all my might. I would arrive at most twenty
HANNAHThey almost killed me. I might have died if Daryl wasn't fast enough to find me and stop the rogues from attacking me.Of course, I helped him with all I could. I fought another wolf while the Beta beat the others. It wasn't an easy fight, but I could knock them down.But I couldn't sigh relief as more wolves directed towards me. Daryl ordered me to run, so I ran as fast as possible. Meanwhile, he followed me and sometimes stopped to attack the wolf closest to me.Me too.I did fight for my life when I saw him busy with his opponents. And I would continue running whenever I got the chance.I kept sprinting until I realized Kristin and Henry were behind me, not Daryl anymore. I initially thought something bad had happened to him.Fortunately, he was fine. He found me in the cottage on the east side minutes later. I couldn't help a sigh of relief from escaping my lips when I saw him smiling at me."Alpha is looking for you," Daryl said while putting ointment on my scars from the
ELIOTAfter sending condolences to the family of the warriors, I returned to pack house alone. I left my mate in the cottage and ordered more warriors to secure the place.In disguise.Of course.I didn't want anyone to know Hannah was still in the territory, especially after the rumor of her disappearing was all over the place. I was the one giving approval for warriors to spread the story. I was sick of hearing my people talking bad about her. And if they continued doing so even after the attack, then they didn't have humanity anymore.I walked inside my office with Daryl and Tristan trailing behind me. "What do you get from them?" I meant two rogues we captured from the attack. They were injured severely, but we gave no mercy. They attacked innocent people, so don't hope we will be nice to them."They were just laughing and babbling unclear words during the interrogation. I think it's going to be hard to get information." Tristan answered. He was in charge of interrogating prisoner
ELIOTI decided not to hide it from Danny and allow Hannah to talk to her family. It was for my mate's sake. I hated to see her feel guilty after secret over secret she kept from them. Besides, I didn't see an urgency in hiding it because they were her family and would always be her back in every situation, good or bad. Also, I might need their help, and they knew the circumstance would cut time."I'm sorry. I should've called you sooner, but this took my time and made me forget something important." I said as I walked to welcome Danny, Alexia, and Beta Joe on the pack house grounds.Danny turned in my direction, and I saw his jaws clenched while his eyes dilated into black. He had Alexia clinging onto his arm but quickly let go after spotting my arrival. He strode his way, taking big steps with hands coiled into fists.I knew where this would go, but I remained in my position. Even when my eyes caught a movement before a hard punch landed on my face a second later.He hit me."I've t
HANNAHI was indeed a crybaby. Seeing my brother and his mate leaving the cottage made my eyes water. I felt heavy saying goodbye. It was like six hours together wasn't enough.I wanted more.But it was impossible as they needed to return to Crescent Pack, and at three in the early morning, we said the last goodbye. Yes. They were heading to Crescent by paws, where Beta Joe waited on the border with a car."Shh." Eliot shushed me while wiping my tears. They were like never-ending as they kept coming out of my eyes. "Don't cry, baby."How could I not cry when I saw my family leaving me? And after this, it was Eliot's turn to go. How could I not be sad about it?"You're leaving," I uttered between stifled sobs. After almost losing my life, I realized time was precious and how lovely spending it with the closest ones was. I didn't know I might get a chance again as Goddess had already blessed me with a second life, which not everyone could have."Not now. I have two hours more.""Two hou
ELIOTI couldn't help but be furious when Tristan mind-linked at me that the warrior, scouting the neutral forest closest to the border, found a body. It wasn't dead but injured severely, so they rushed it to the infirmary."What happened?" I asked Tristan once he arrived at the cottage. He looked tense and serious, so different from the easygoing image he usually showed."She's still unconscious, so we can't know the detail. But we assume it's a rogue attack as they found scratches all over her body, and they're caused by claws. Also, they smelled rogue in her."My hands coiled into fists as sudden anger ran throughout my body. So, the rogue was still targeting us. "What else they found?"Tristan shook his head. "They're still scouting the forest."My jaws tightened hearing that. Not that I was disappointed with our warrior, but I was hoping they could catch a rogue from the scene. More catches would do good for extracting information."Alpha." He called, drawing my attention back to
ELIOTWhich turned out didn't happen.When the warrior told me that Casey was on the border hours later, I instantly knew I couldn't escape anymore. I had to let her in as she was the only person knowing the human. And as much as I hid her presence, she did the opposite by showing herself around the infirmary, which caused people to talk about her.Perhaps, it was the right decision for Hannah to disappear. At least she wouldn't witness how my people seemed happy to welcome Casey."Are you here to claim your place?" A young female approached Casey as she was heading back from... Probably shopping. Casey was carrying pretty big plastic with her.Another female beside the first one elbowed her. "Of course she is. The previous Luna has disappeared, so she must take her place. Right, Luna Casey?" She turned to Casey while saying the last words.Casey flashed a broad smile—she might try to look nice in front of them, but it was disgusting for me. "I'm here to visit a friend.""A friend? Is
ELIOT"Casey killed me when I aborted our pup."Hannah was like throwing a bomb with her statement. But it was better compared to the following one."With your order."Or was it the same? They were the worst.I opened my mouth, but nothing came out of it. I was lost for words.Then I saw it. Hannah blinked tears, and it instantly gave a pang in my heart. It pained me whenever I saw her crying.She gasped, turning her gaze away from me while trying to stop her tears. But it didn't work as more tears streamed down her cerulean eyes.Baby.I wanted to call her, but I had to swallow it back. Her last words stopped me from calming her down. How could I do it when I was also causing her to cry?Thus, I remained silent, kneeling before her like someone ready to receive punishment. I hadn't heard the detail but didn't think I could listen to it. I couldn't face the other me who did terribly to her.However, my mate seemed determined. She wiped her tears before returning her attention to me. "
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
