HANNAH'What was that, Fiona?''I don't know. I have no memory of it.'My brows knitted together in confusion. How could I have those memories, but Fiona didn't?'I don't know what happened after we died.' She said again, and it reminded me of something.Death?I remembered the scene of Casey talking to the doctor. I assumed I had died afterward. But the Luna Ceremony and some of her joyous expressions after my funeral? How could I have them?And how could I just realize it now?'Maybe it's Goddess doing. She wants to unlock the box and show us their true color.''Eliot was crying about our death. Maybe Kai too.'Images of his agony returned to my mind. Eliot no longer looked like a tough and powerful Alpha when he locked himself and cried alone inside his office. I was a liar if it didn't affect me.'I know. But we must focus on Casey. I think she's the mastermind. She's behind our misery.'I agreed with her. Casey showed too much joy when I was dead.'We need to find proof.''Yes.'A
HANNAHI woke up early this morning.Ah, I shouldn't have said that. It should be that I couldn't sleep last night because my mind wouldn't stop working.It was annoying, but nothing I could do. I only tried my best, which worked when I fell asleep around two. Unfortunately, I was awake two hours later and couldn't be back to sleep.I sipped the coffee I had made and brought it from the kitchen. I wasn't really a coffee person, but I needed it to boost myself for the day.I planned to investigate Casey.But I still didn't know how.It might not look suspicious if Casey came to my room because she was an omega who worked in the pack house. But if our position changed, it would ignite questions. Why did I roam around an omega's room?Ordering another omega to do so was also impossible, as I needed to trust them. I meant they were colleagues, and if she did nothing wrong, they probably told Casey instead that I suspected her.I exhaled heavily, finding it was a dead end.'How about you as
HANNAH"How about we go to a nearby bakery? They bake a new recipe today." Nora talked to me as both of us dried our wet hair. The training session was over, and we had finished showering."Really? How do you know about that?""My mother owns the bakery."I forgot. Nora is Poppy's daughter and the owner of the best bakery in Crescent Pack."I'll treat you." She said again as she folded the towel she had just used into her bag.And I decided to do the same, ending the activity in my hair. "No. My brother will scold me if he finds out I get a treat from his people.""I won't tell Alpha Danny."She might have thought I was joking, but I was serious. My parents and brother taught me not to ask for a free thing from our members."Then I'll take just one." But refusing it didn't seem right either. Moreover, it was our first time talking close like this."Yes. Just one." Then she tugged a wide smile."Look. Two losers are talking."My sensitive hearing caught words from a female around us. It
HANNAH"How's your head?""You've asked me before.""I want to know now."I was silent while striding my feet toward the kitchen. Lunch was still an hour ahead, but I was already hungry.I should have gone to the bakery if Eliot didn't show up. So the only choice was to find something in the kitchen."Do I look in pain?" I questioned him back. He could have seen that. I did activities normally, so the answer should be obvious, right?"No. But maybe you hide it.""I'm not hiding anything.""Are you? Why do I feel otherwise? You look like you are hiding something from me."It was true, but I wasn't ready yet to tell him.The smell of dishes omega was cooking hit me the moment I stepped into the kitchen. It made my stomach growl loudly and embarrassed me!"Sorry. Your food smelled so good." I flashed an embarrassed smile when the growl drew their attention to me.Tania, who was in charge of our meal, chuckled. "Can you wait? It'll be ready soon.""I want to, but my stomach can't wait anym
ELIOT"You look so happy, Alpha." Jenna, the Beta, Female, commented as I stepped inside the pack house with Tristan trailing behind me. "Is something good happening?""Yes. He didn't fight with Hannah." And my fucking Gamma preceded me from answering."Is that true?""Yes. I saw them sitting side by side in peace.""Wow. It's good news."The other people who knew about Hannah and me were Jenna and Nicole. Daryl and Tristan were the ones telling them, not me. But I didn't have a problem with that because they would know sooner or later."I think so. And I think we will have a luna sooner.""We must celebrate it."I shook my head in disbelief. Their females were always full of excitement. It could be what we needed in this house and to complement us. And if I had my Luna, this house would be alive."What thing must we celebrate?" Nicole came out from the basement where the laundry room was."Oh, baby." Like a pup seeing his mom, Tristan ran to his mate. Seconds later, the sound of their
ELIOTAs planned, we discussed the ball after lunch. We used the dining room as base camp because Danny's office couldn't accommodate all of us together.For me, I didn't care where it was. As long as I could be with Hannah, wherever was okay.But it wasn't okay anymore as I had to leave the place to round up the territory. We decided the males would handle security, so we need to see and discuss amping it up. Many werewolves would gather here, and we must ensure they were safe.Meanwhile, the females would prepare the pack house to welcome guests and manage the event. It was another critical role as the ball was the highlight.In conclusion, we must give our best to welcome the guests."Your eyes will pop out."Tristan's words snapped me back to the present. I was staring at Hannah, who looked so mesmerizing in her blue dress. It complemented her eyes well, as if blue was destined to be her color.No.She was beautiful in everything, even when she wore nothing."We should go, Alpha."
HANNAHIn the following days, we spent time arranging everything. Tania and Clara went city more often to buy or order needed stuff. Meanwhile, Danny, Joe, and Percy seriously prepared warriors with Gamma Tristan's help.How about me?Of course, I helped them. I would go with Tania or Clara to the city and help them with the selection.Like yesterday.Suddenly, I determined to repaint the wall, to which my brother agreed. Thus, Tania and I were leaving the territory to pick the color."I'm confused between white or warm beige," I stated my opinion when some colors had been drawn from the collection. "But light grey is also good." And confusion went over because all colors were good. It would make the pack house look fresh and spacious.Tania was silent, but her gaze focused on the example color. It was visible she was thinking about it. "Let's use white and warm beige."It was initially what I had in mind when I voiced the idea. I searched for some inspiration online and loved the res
TANIAI couldn't understand her anymore. It felt like she was no longer Hannah I used to know. And to quote Alpha Eliot, which I heard from my mate, she changed over a night.I didn't wholly agree with it, as I still found old Hannah in her. But yeah, I couldn't deny she was more cautious, assertive, and determined than before. She even requested training. Something old Hannah might not do because she relied on her father, former Alpha Alberto, and her brother, current Alpha Danny. And they did nothing about that, instead pampered her with love and comfort.Not that I envied her. Never. I also never bothered about that. Just when changes came, it felt odd.I tried to act normal as I did daily. I watched Hannah being eager for training every day. Then she would come to the kitchen to ask for recipes. She suddenly requested changing in the omega assigned to do her bedroom. And most bizarre was her on-and-off relationship with Alpha Eliot.But again, I pretended nothing happened until we
