Hannah
| tossed my phone aside, the screen still illuminated with the article titled “Hannah and Noah, the true star -
crossed lovers, officially back together?” The accompanying photo showed us at the farmer's market, pushing
Melody’s stroller together, our hands brushing.
My cheeks burned at the memory of that moment, the electricity that had sparked between us just minutes after
our little ice cream memory. The soft afternoon light had caught Noah's profile just right, highlighting the strong
line of his jaw and the tenderness in his eyes as he looked down at our daughter.
A knock at my study door interrupted my thoughts. “Cin,” | called, quickly composing myself and smoothing

My father entered, his face beaming with excitement. Oh, no. Here we go... “Hannah, have you seen the news?
This is wonderful! Why didn’t you tell me?”
I sighed, already anticipating where this conversation was heading before he even held the newspaper out to
showthe sarticle I'd just been looking at.
“Dad, you really need to learn not to believe everything you read in the paper.”
“But you were together at the market, weren't you?” He scratched his head as he stared at the article.” The
picture doesn’t lie, Hannah. Oh, I'm so happy for you both. | knew you and Noah would find your way back to
each other someday.”
“Dad...”
“We should start planning the wedding soon,” my father continued, oblivious. “And of course, you'll be moving
back to Nightcrest with Noah, won't you?”
| felt a headache coming on, a dull throb beginning at my temples. Pinching the bridge of my nose, | said evenly,
“Dad, slow down. We're not planning a wedding anytsoon. Yes, we're dating, but nothing is ‘ official‘ just yet.
And besides,” | added, my voice growing firmer, steel entering my tone, “I'm not sure if I'm interested in going
back to Nightcrest.”
My father’s smile faltered. “But Hannah, just think about it. A nuclear family is so important. Melody needs her
father in the picture, and Noah clearly cares for her. Plus, you two are fated mates. You belong together.
Especially after everything.”
“I can’t just give up my position as Alpha of Silvermoon, Dad,” | sighed, leaning back in my chair. “I've worked
hard for this. It’s not something | can just toss aside on a whim.”
“But there is a way to combine the packs,” he suggested. “You would have to be Noah's Luna again, but you
would have even more power if you joined Silvermoon and Nightcrest. Think of the strength that union would
bring!”
I leaned forward and rubbed my face with both hands, frustration building in my chest like a gathering storm.
“I'm not just doing this for ‘power’, Dad. My title and my independence are important to me. | can’t back down
from being an Alpha so soon after becoming one. Do you know what that would makelook like? What sort of
example that would set for my daughter?”

My father’s brow furrowed. “What do you mean?”

“The Luna-turned-Alpha-turned-Luna-again,” | spat out, already picturing the headlines. “All of the men who
look down onand seeas nothing more than a broodmare of a stupid woman playacting as an Alpha will
have a field day if | give up my title to becNoah’s Luna again. I'd be a laughingstock. And | would be letting
down Melody, the Luna Council, and all of the other girls who might be inspired by my
work.”
My father’s expression softened, understanding finally dawning in his eyes, but only slightly. “Hannah, my dear, |
understand your concerns. | do. But please, at least consider it. You're attending the Full Moon Festival with Noah
as your date, aren’t you? Maybe you could think about it then. Use the tto really talk to Noah, see where you
both stand. | know you love each other.”
The mention of the festival sent a flutter through my stomach-excitement or anxiety, | couldn't tell. “Just
because we're going to the festival together this weekend doesn’t mean that I'm giving up my position,” |
whispered.
