ELIOTSince I left Crescent Pack, I couldn’t stop a smile from tugging on my lips. Of course, it was all because of Hannah and the fact that we were fated mates. What else could make a male happy besides his desired female would be his? Even an Alpha needed to mark his territory so everyone would know his female was only his. Forever.And in my case, the Goddess helped me by giving Hannah as my fated mate.I licked my lips when the memory of our kiss and our first night came into my mind.Don’t look at me like I was the culprit. It was all Hannah doing, not me.After what happened in the forest, Hannah fell asleep in my arms while I carried her back to the pack house. No one spotted us, as it was already midnight, so I could bring her to her room without being asked.I intended to leave after I tucked her safely into her bed. But her plump pink lips tempted me and were like calling me to taste them. Thus, it couldn’t be avoided anymore. I kissed my mate. And I was right that her lips

HANNAHI was driving my car out of the forest to a nearby city with the radio on. It played an old song that I couldn't recognize. It might be older than my age, but I liked it. Also, it was nice to accompany me while driving alone in cloudy weather.Minutes later, I saw dots on the front glass, which soon became a lot as the rain poured hard. I should have stayed in the pack house, maybe curling up inside my blanket or sipping hot chocolate with a book in my hands instead of traveling outside the territory. But it was my only choice when I overheard my brother's conversation with Eliot.Eliot wanted to visit our territory!So, without thinking much, I grabbed the key before Danny realized my present and stopped me with my plan. And I purposely chose a route to the border, which I wouldn't cross Eliot's territory. I avoided meeting him by coincidence.Would this be my future? Avoiding him for the rest of my life?I was slowing down as I entered the city. I thought of many ways to spen

HANNAH"Haven't I told you not to enter my room?" I asked Casey, shouting at her, not minding Eliot's hands were still caging me. She should have been surprised to see Eliot and me this intimate. Not the other way around.But she still had a shock on her face. Perhaps for me suddenly snarling and not bothering to reveal hatred toward her in front of Eliot."I put laundry in your closet." She replied after recovering from the shock and then tugging a smile on her lips. Her eyes were directed at Eliot, which caused me to almost spit out.Why didn't I realize she had her eyes set on him back then?"Wasn't my order clear? I don't want you near my bedroom. I've already asked someone else to handle it.""But it was just the laundry.""Exactly, it was just the laundry." I cut her fast. "I could pick up myself if there was no one but you." I didn't want her. And to emphasize my intention, I stressed the word you.She shifted her gaze to Eliot as if pleading for his help. And it made me sick o

HANNAHI moved to turn my body to the left after ten minutes of closing my eyes and ended up in vain. After long and hard training, I decided to sleep early.Ah, no. It was actually a lie. I went up to my room right after dinner was over to avoid Eliot. He kept staring at me since we were back from training, and although I kept saying I hated it, I couldn't deny my body's reaction every time his eyes bore deep into mine. My heart beat wildly, and I felt the urge to go near him to calm it down.But I couldn't possibly do it, could I? Moreover, after everything he did to me.But why couldn't I remove him from my head? The memory of his touch and his lips were so vivid. I even still tasted mint from our kisses today.Shit!I couldn't be like this. I should focus on my goal to avenge them, not another way around.Thus, I tried my best to shift my focus to the image of my future without Eliot and Casey. I didn't have to leave the pack if I could kick them out of my life. And if it failed,

HANNAH"Where are you?" It was his first word when I picked up his call."Far from you." I slightly played with my tone to tease him.Finally, I could be free of him after he followed me the entire morning. I needed to distract him, so I got a way to run away.There was no way I would be near him after last night and this early morning incident. I couldn't be near him anymore."Where is it? Why didn't you say something to me?""For what? I have no obligation to tell you.""I'm here for you.""Then it's your problem, not mine.""Tell me where it is. I'll go-"I didn't hear the rest of his words as I cut the call. But a second later, it rang again from the same person.I touched the red button to end the call.He tried again, and I did the same. And after three more calls, he gave up but sent me a text message.[I'll wait for you in the pack house.]I huffed, not liking the idea. Eliot should have been back to his territory instead of roaming in someone's pack for days. I understood it
