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
ALEXIAI was stunned when everything happened. It began with his addictive scent till I found his blue eyes, and those all felt unbelievable.I finally found him. My mate. The best male I had ever seen."Mine."He said a word that I also had in my head. He was mine.He walked closer and said nothing when suddenly he grabbed my hand. Only then I realized we became the limelight of Tania, Hannah, and a male I didn't know.My mate brought me to a room and ensured the door was closed before moving in front of me.Oh, Goddess! He was so good. He had a bulky frame that I always desired from a mate.I loved his muscles."What's your name?"And his deep voice, which sounded so sexy. He was definitely beyond perfect."Alexia.""Alexia." He called for my name, which caused my legs to feel giddy. "Such a beautiful name. Just as beautiful as you are."How could I stay still if this situation went longer?I flashed him a broad smile, the widest I could ever show to someone. "Thank you. And yours?"
HANNAHThe plan was to drop Alexia off at her boyfriend's house to pack her belongings as her father asked her to come home immediately. And because I needed to return to the territory, I would also drive her to the airport.It seemed logical and not at the same time. But since I agreed to help Alexia, I was left with no choice. We would see how this would lead."I don't see any urgency on why you're here," I said to Eliot, sitting beside me. My eyes went straight ahead, waiting for Alexia's figure to come out from the car in front of us.Yes, I knew it wasn't a plan to bring my brother and Eliot with us. But they insisted."I'm sticking to you."I rolled my eyes and then huffed while placing my arms against my chest. "It's ridiculous. Everything will be much easier without you two.""I will stay overnight. Open your door for me." Instead of answering me, he talked nonsense."You know the rules.""I know. I just want to hold your hand while sleeping."I raised an eyebrow, doubting his
ELIOTThe following days went by evenly. There was no commotion between Hannah and me, though I became busier, which caused me to hardly visit her. And video call wasn't enough because I needed the sparks."Aren't you too early to leave?" Danny caught me out of Hannah's room quietly. I didn't want to make any voice that would disturb her sleep. "You even came after she went to bed."Yes. I arrived here around midnight and went straight to Hannah's room. She was already asleep, so I only contented myself by looking at her sleeping face. And three hours later, I must leave her, still asleep."I have a lot to do in the day," I answered while striding my way to the stairs, and I wasn't surprised he was following me. "And you? Why did you awake so early?""Same reason as yours."An Alpha was the same everywhere. We had a lot of jobs because we handled a pack. A bunch of people's lives depended on us.So if you find a lazy and negligent Alpha, run away immediately. They would share their mi
HANNAHAlpha Matthew was a nice guy. Though he was like a typical Alpha, scary and unapproachable, I never heard him doing bad to females. Instead, he was pretty talkative for an Alpha.Or perhaps, my advantage of being Danny's sister made me see his behavior in a casual situation. Or simply because he was interested in me, he was being nice to me.I was briefly dazed when he suddenly stood up and pulled a chair out for me. It was lunchtime, and Alpha Matthew and his men joined us."You shouldn't have done this," I responded, still taking the seat."I'm still trying." He winked at me before pushing the chair back. And I lost words to answer that.Just as I said, he was like typical Alpha, very stubborn. I clearly said I had Eliot as my boyfriend, but he said it wasn't official. We didn't mark each other yet, so he would always have a chance.I grunted inwardly. Why were males around me so persistent?"Do you like beef stew?"And I almost dropped my jaw when I saw him moving the beef s
HANNAH“Kai,” I called for Eliot’s wolf, who I knew was more reliable for this situation. Kai was calmer than Eliot, and only he could reach Eliot now.But Kai let out a loud growl, which shook the ground and made another Alpha beside me growl him back in response. Alpha Matthew even already bent forward, ready to attack Eliot anytime.Oh, Goddess! What kind of situation was this?“Kai. El.” I called both of them in the hope one of them listen to me. “Calm down. We can talk about this.” I extended my hand, taking a step forward to reach him.A smile formed on my lips as I saw him move closer. But it instantly disappeared when I noticed he was running and now jumping not onto me but Alpha Matthew. And, of course, Alpha Matthew wouldn’t back off but instead shifted and launched his body at Eliot.Goddess, what should I do?They kept attacking each other, not minding I was between them, desperate to stop them.“Stop! Stop it!” I screamed the same words many times. And they obviously didn
ELIOTI could feel fury slowly consume me and boil me up. I couldn’t even think straight. The only thing I had in mind was Hannah.I had to see her.I thought it would calm me down after seeing her face. Turned out, my rage was at its maximum when I found her in our secret place with Matthew.Then I couldn’t control everything until I heard Hannah begin her rejection. I forced myself to stop her rejection.I was aware of the consequences and never ready to lose her. Not only this mate bond but also Hannah. I didn’t want her to die.But it seemed I left no choice except to reject her. Setting Hannah free was far better than seeing her die. “I, Eliot Robertson-““No!” She began throwing punches at my chest, but it didn’t hurt me at all. The pain in my heart was worse than this.So I kept continuing. “-reject-““Stop, Eliot!”I caught her hand, which made her look at me. It froze me and was like locking my lips, so I couldn’t finish words.She was crying.I used to see her crying when we
