Hannah couldn’t eat or drink. It felt like her stomach was twisted into knots. Anxiety? No, this is something. Every time she felt like this, her heart also felt a little tight. Her chest was racing and she knew that something bad would happen or probably happen. Reid hasn’t called her yet and it’s already nighttime. He hasn’t visited. She exhaled slowly and that’s when the doorbell rang. She headed to the door quickly as it might be Reid but she was curious why Reid didn’t enter casually like he used to. She froze when it was the staff of the residence. “H~Hi.” She smiled as they also had an awkward smile. “Miss Hannah, we prepared a new unit for you.” She was speechless. “Huh?” “It’s still spacious and has two bedrooms. We are here to help you move out.” She looked at her cats in the other room, playing. They seemed to love the place now, but it’s not hers. She felt more nervous as she didn't know what was going on. “Someone moving in?” She asked. They were silent as she sm
Reid quickly went to the residence and roared at the staff to put everything that Hannah owned to where it was taken. He asked them who did it. Then, Secretary Eunice stepped forward. She was silent. “Did my mother tell you to do this?” “Yes,” She said. “No one messes up my arrangements, Eunice. Not even my mother.” His voice was low. “Now, what else?” He dismissed them. “Alpha, your mother is worried. Also, she’s arranging the unit, especially for the candidates.” “What fucking candidates?” He remained calm. “Luna. The position of Luna.” The woman tried hard not to shudder in front of the Alpha but she stood her ground.Reid scoffed and shook his head. “Tell my mother that I don’t want her commanding the staff to take out my mate’s things from her unit.” He said in a low voice. “Do you understand me?” He exclaimed. He sighed as he only left for a few hours. And now, it’s early in the morning. He headed to the penthouse to bathe, and then he drove directly to the place where th
Reid drove off leaving the house. He felt so pissed that Hannah would just throw off their relationship because of his mother. He understood that Hannah felt insecure and his mother might have said things to her. He almost exceeded the speed limit as he slowed down and stopped in front of the Red traffic light. He sighed as he looked at the spare helmet that he brought with him. He exhaled and when the stop light turned green, he turned around and stopped by the flower shop and bought a succulent. Then, he also bought boba tea from the flower ship. Four of them. Then, donuts. He drove back to Mar’s home. He left two in the fridge as he headed up to her room. He knocked and opened it. She’s currently by the window seat looking out at the garden. She turned her head at him. “Babe, I’m sorry.” He said and showed the boba tea. “This is a fruit tea with a popping boba as you like.” She smiled at him. “You don’t have to say sorry. It’s not your fault.” “Partially it’s mine. I failed t
Hannah was in the king's bed. She was cold. She wanted to be with him all night. But instead of sleeping, she took her laptop and started working on her novel. She works for four hours straight without taking any breaks. She put it down and lay down as she stared at their photo together. Reid seemed to love her and she felt `relieved by the way he looked at her. Surely, no one has ever looked at her with full of love and admiration. She had seen it once from Ian, but never did he love her. She put pillows around her, trying to fill the vast space around her. Reid would snuggle with her all night. Now, she felt so empty. Her mind races as she tries hard not to think that he’s falling for that beautiful blonde girl. She woke up from his warmth and as soon as she opened her eyes, she looked at the clock at the bedside table. Four in the morning. “RJ?” She called as Reid hummed. “Hannah,” He mumbled. “I have a condom on.” His scent made her wet. His fingers started massaging her
Hannah received a call from Reid’s mother telling him to answer his phone and so, she told him about it. He answered his phone and he heard about dinner with his family. She then thought of just ordering pizza for tonight since Reid would have to be at their family dinner. She planned for overtime but Reid called her. “Love, let’s go.” “Oh, I have to finish a few things. You can go. You can’t be late for the family dinner.” She smiled. “Hannah, we will be at that dinner together.” “Uhh,” She shook her head. “Hannah, let’s go.” She nodded and cleaned up the desk. She quickly followed him and didn't want him to be late for dinner. They hopped into the car and she sighed. “Reid, I don’t think that we should go together.” “Nonsense.” Reid patted her. “Mom has no other choice but to accept you.” She looked at Brett who was their driver. “I also fight with my mom, using the silent treatment. I know I hurt her but I was hard-headed. I realized as I grew that I hurt my mom in the w
Hannah’s threats were real. He went back to the dinner although she knew that she was probably anxious and his beasts were itching to take over and go to their mate. Although Hannah wasn’t his fated mate, he and his beast claimed her as their mate. He sat down as Ines was puzzled. “Where’s Hannah?” Ines asked but then Reid was silent as he raised his hand. “Bring me a whiskey on the rock.” He told the staff. “Reid, it’s too early for that,” Evelyn said as Reid stared at his mother right into her eyes. “Ella,” Reid called Ella without breaking an eye contact. “What would you like to do once you have recovered?” He asked. “Have you thought about it?” Ella nodded. “Thank you for letting me stay in a luxury unit.” “The most luxurious one is either in the penthouse or down the penthouse.” She said, “I set up the room just below the penthouse but the tenant doesn't want to leave.” Reid glared at her. “Mom,” Graham sighed. “Please, stop. You’ve been doing this for days now. Give th
Hannah thought that Reid would push her off if she said a single negative thing about his mother. However, he was very apologetic and it made her feel better. She hugged him further as somehow his scent changed. This scent of arousal and longing. It’s like he’s on a rut again. “Reid,” “I’m sorry, I just meant to comfort you.” “It’s okay,” she hugged him. “Let’s eat. How about your favorites?” She shook her head. “I just want to run away with you, Reid. I don’t feel well.” She mumbled. “I’m tired. I want to sleep.” “Right, let’s sleep together and we’ll wake up like we used to.” He kissed her forehead.She stared at his face for a long time. She wanted to see that. “Hannah,” Reid whispered. “Don’t give up on me, okay?”“Can you not see her again? Or be alone with her?”“Who?” “Ella?”“My love, Ella had her own choices. I might see her around but I promise not to be alone with her.” “Omegas had a scent like an aphrodisiac. I heard.” “Yes,” He shoved his face to her neck and g
For days, Hannah would work casually as she also started her freelancing. She would write novels at night and upload them on the platform. She also had sent out money to her family. She also had set up allowances for the cats just in case she was kicked out again. Her head was racing as she stopped typing and realized that there were mistakes. She continued all over again as she stood. “Reid, we are off for a meeting.” She said as Reid stood and approached her. “Wanna go and ditch work?” She chuckled and shook her head. “No.” He took out something from his pocket and handed her a chocolate bar, the one with a pistachio and matcha filling. Her eyes widened as he winked. She opened it and took a piece and handed it to him but he bent down and took it with his mouth. She chuckled as they ate the chocolate on their way out of the office. At that moment, Hannah hoped that they would always be happy like this. She hoped that Reid would always love her and she hoped that Mrs. King wou
