KEN"Okay, see you soon. Call or text me anytime." I said farewell before our meeting ended. I intended to escort her to where she parked her car, but she declined.Hannah flashed me a broad smile that reached her eyes. I subconsciously followed her by tugging the same smile. Somehow, she exuded a positive aura."I will text you."I was slightly disappointed with her choice. I gave her two, but she only replied with the last one.But it was okay. Texting or anything would be better than nothing."Have a safe drive." Then I paused when something ran across my mind. "Should I ask you to text me after you get home?"She chuckled, and it made her look brighter. "I will if I don't forget where my phone is."I put on an act of disappointment as best I could. "Too bad. I will wait for you.""Why does everyone want to wait for me?""Huh?""No. I was just talking to myself."My brows furrowed, not really understanding her words. Was everyone she meant, including her boyfriend?Then I snapped my

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'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

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."

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
