Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth (Hannah and Noah)

0351

ChapterI couldn't breathe. I couldn't breathe I couldn't breathe couldn't breathe.

"I can't do this," I gasped, sitting up abruptly. "I-I can't-need-"

I felt my wolf roiling inside of me. "Mate," she growled. "Mate, mate... Need... Mate..."

"Luna Hannah," the nurse said softly, holding her hands out placatingly. "It will all be over soon, if you'll just relax and-"

But her words were drowned out by the roaring in my ears. I felt my claws and fangs extend, my wolf pushing to the surface in panic. The room seemed to spin around me, everything too bright, too loud, too much.

"I need my mate!" I snarled, jumping off of the table like I was possessed. Without even realizing what I was doing, my arm swept across a nearby surface, sending instruments clattering to the floor with a deafening crash. "I can't do this without him!" The nurses whimpered and backed into the corner, cowering. From me, I realized, as I raged through the room, shoving equipment and snarling like a feral beast. "Luna Hannah-"

"Get away!" I roared, spittle flying from my mouth. "Where is he?!"

I knew I was scaring them, but I couldn't stop. The terror was overwhelming, consuming me entirely. My wolf howled inside me, desperate for our mate. I was possessed with terror, possessed with the need for

him.

Somewhere, faintly, I heard someone shout for security, but I hardly heard it. I hardly cared as I heard footsteps pounding through the hallway, someone banging on the door. "Luna Hannah!" I hardly heard any

of it.

I couldn't do this. Not without him. Not without-

Suddenly, the door burst open with a bang. A familiar scent hit me a split second before strong arms wrapped around me, pulling me close. "Hannah, I'm here," Noah's voice rumbled in my ear, deep and comforting. "I'm here... It's okay. I've got you." 1

I froze, inhaling deeply-not to get air into my lungs, but to get his scent, that familiar smell of his skin. The scent of pine and fire, just like the wildfires burning in his fir-green eyes. I needed it more than air right now. Slowly, the fog of panic began to clear, and I blinked, logic returning. The exam room was a mess, instruments strewn across the tiled floor, my feet bare and my hair tangled. How long had I been raging? How long... "Noah," I whispered, hardly daring to believe it. My hands clutched at his shirt, afraid he might disappear if let go. "You came..."

He pulled back slightly, his green eyes meeting mine. He cupped my face in his hands, forcing me to look at him, forcing me not to look at the scrambling nurses and the security guards lingering in the doorway. 1/2 Chapter 0351

"I couldn't let you go through this alone," he said softly

"But the meeting-"

"F***k the business meeting. This is the most important thing. You're the most important thing, Hannah." I felt my claws and fangs recede, my wolf immediately settling down at the presence of our mate. In that moment, I knew with absolute certainty that I had fallen back in love with Noah. I didn't want to be without him, not ever again. "Noah, I lo-"

"I know," he cut me off, guiding me back to the exam table. "I do, too."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

With Noah by my side, I calmly climbed back onto the table. A doctor in a white coat swept in, a nurse checked my pulse. Someone was speaking to me, then to Noah. I think I muttered an apology, but it was all a haze.

Noah held my hand throughout the procedure, never once letting go. I hardly even felt the pain, if there was any-l only felt him, smelled him, heard those words echoing in my mind. "I know. I do, too."

He loved me. I loved him.

The procedure was over before I even knew it. I had dressed, or someone had dressed me, without even realizing it. It was over.

"Let's get you home," Noah said gently, helping me up from the table. His arm wrapped around my waist, supporting me as we walked out of the examination room.

I looked up at him, a warmth spreading through my chest at the word. Home. Not just a place, but wherever Noah was.

"Home..."
