4. A Plan To Revenge

Hannah stood on the rooftop of the mansion, awestruck by the vastness and beauty that unfolded before her eyes. The city lights sparkled like distant stars, creating a breathtaking view that she could hardly believe was real. The excitement was palpable on her face as she took in the extraordinary scene, her eyes wide with wonder. "It's beautiful," she whispered, her voice filled with awe.

Liam, standing close by her side, smiled softly at her reaction. "I'm glad you like it," he replied. "You can come here anytime you want. I don't want you to feel sad and lonely anymore. From now on, I'm here with you." The warmth in his voice wrapped around her like a comforting embrace.

As Hannah gazed at him, lost in the depth of his eyes, Liam leaned closer, diminishing the space between them. Gently, he claimed her lips in a kiss that spoke of promises and newfound feelings. For a moment, Hannah was frozen in shock, unresponsive to his advance. But as the kiss lingered, she found herself melting into it, the surprise giving way to an emotion she hadn't expected to feel so strongly.

Their moment of intimacy was abruptly interrupted by Luke, Liam's beta, who appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Hannah's reaction was immediate; she broke away from the kiss and hid her flushed face, embarrassment coloring her cheeks a deep red.

"Alpha, it's set," Luke announced, breaking the silence that had settled over the rooftop.

Liam nodded in acknowledgment. "Okay, I'll be right there," he said before turning to Hannah. "Come on, let's go have dinner."

After a peaceful dinner and a restful night, Hannah awoke to find Liam gone, a note left behind explaining his absence. With nothing else to occupy her time, she decided to do some chores, starting with the dishes in the kitchen.

As she was lost in her task, a voice startled her, causing her to turn around and face a beautiful young lady. "Are you Hannah?" the lady asked, curiosity lacing her voice.

"Yes, it's me," Hannah replied, confused by the unexpected company.

"I'm Camelia, I heard about you from my brother, the alpha, your mate," the woman introduced herself, a friendly smile gracing her lips.

Surprised, Hannah responded, "Wow, I didn't know he has a sister."

"Now you know," Camelia said cheerfully. "Why are you doing dishes?"

Hannah shrugged, "I didn't know what else to do, so I decided to do the dishes."

Laughing lightly, Camelia suggested, "Come on, leave the dishes. Let's go shopping."

The day turned out to be a whirlwind of laughter and bonding for Hannah and Camelia. Upon their return, they sat in the courtyard, enjoying drinks and the serene atmosphere, until their peace was shattered by the entrance of a young lady who addressed Hannah with disdain.

"It seems like you're Hannah. Let me give you a piece of advice. If you think Liam loves you just because you're his mate, then you must be dreaming. Nobody can come between me and Liam; I'm his first," the woman, Sophie, sneered, her words dripping with jealousy.

Before Sophie could continue, Camelia stood up, her tone sharp and annoyed. "Sophie, that's your Luna you're talking to. You should show respect."

Sophie retorted, her defiance clear, "She's not my Luna. She may be yours, but not mine. I would never accept such a weakling as my Luna," before storming off, leaving a tense atmosphere in her wake.

Hannah felt a mix of emotions swirling inside her. Camelia's defense had been swift and assertive, but Sophie's words stung. Yet, in the midst of this newfound drama, Hannah couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging starting to take root. For the first time in a long while, she didn't feel alone, But still, she felt helpless. She couldn't keep hiding behind their backs; she also wanted to be strong.

That night, as Liam returned home, Hannah welcomed him with a warm smile, eager to share her newfound determination. "Welcome back, Liam," she greeted him, her voice brimming with enthusiasm. "I've been thinking a lot lately, and I've realized that I want to become stronger."

However, as she spoke, she couldn't shake off the feeling of a murderous gaze directed from Liam, causing a shiver to run down her spine. Ignoring the sensation, she continued, "I want to be able to help manage the pack and its affairs more effectively. I want to be someone you can rely on."

But even as she expressed her aspirations, she couldn't shake the nagging feeling that something was amiss. Liam's aura felt different, and his demeanor had shifted dramatically since their last encounter, but what his action next shocked her to the core.
