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

But there was no helping the way my eyes widened as took in the contents.

Inside the folder was photo after photo of Alvin in various compromising situations throughout Darkmoon territory. Public intoxication, urinating on buildings, even soliciting prostitutes. I felt like I was going to be sick.

1 see," I said, keeping my voice neutral. "And what do you propose we do about this... situation?"

David leaned back in his chair with a smug look on his face. "Well, as it happens, we have your wayward cousin in custody. I thought you might want to deal with him personally."

He snapped his fingers, and the doors opened once more. Two burly guards entered, half-dragging a disheveled and handcuffed Alvin between them. I resisted the urge to let my jaw drop. "Hannah! Oh, thank the Goddess," Alvin slurred, his eyes bloodshot. "Tell these barbarians to unhand me! Don't they know who I am?"

I pinched the bridge of my nose, feeling a headache coming on. "Oh, Alvin," I sighed. "What have you done now?"

David rose from his seat. "I'll release him into your custody, Alpha Hannah. But know this: if he sets foot in Darkmoon territory again and causes any more trouble, I won't be so lenient. He'll find himself in our prison, diplomatic immunity be d**ed." I nodded, standing as well. "Understood, Alpha David. You have my sincerest apologies-and m my word that this won't happen again."

And to think that we almost let this f***er become Alpha of Silvermoon, I thought to myself, although I didn't dare say that out loud. Not in front of so many people.

With that, David and his entourage left. As the guards released Alvin, I handed Melody to Viona and approached my cousin. Without warning, I whacked him upside the head with my open palm. "Ow!" he yelped. "What was that for?"

"For being a complete and utter m***n," I hissed. "Do you have any idea how much trouble you've just caused? You're lucky I don't throw you in our own prison."Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Alvin rubbed his head, glaring at me. "You're the one who told me to go on a nice little vacation," he sneered.

I raised my hand to hit him again and he flinched, shutting his mouth.

"You're sentenced to two months of community service in the Silvermoori soup kitchen," I said, wiping my hand on my pants and turning away. "Maybe that'll teach you some humility." Inodded to one of my guards. "Take him out of here. Make sure he doesn't cause any more trouble on the way home."

As the guard led Alvin past us, he sneered at Melody in Viona's arms. The baby, sensing the hostility. began to cry.

I bit back the urge to shout at Alvin and took Melody from Viona. She quieted as I began to bounce her,

and I ignored the looks of mockery and disdain as we made our way back to the car.

"Well, that could have gone worse," Viona said quietly as we passed back through those ridiculous gates.

I snorted. "Surprisingly, David wasn't as cruel as I expected-not quite like his father. Although his entourage looked at us like we were a circus act."

"They're just not used to seeing a woman in power," Vigna reasoned. "Let alone one who brings her baby to important meetings."

I looked down at Melody, who had calmed down and was now contentedly sucking her thumb. "Well, they'd better get used to it. I'm not going anywhere, and neither is she."

As we climbed into the car, I caught sight of Alvin being roughly shoved into another vehicle. He was still muttering and complaining, his words slurred and barely coherent. I shook my head, feeling utterly exhausted. Viona and I shared a look of annoyance.

"Men..." we muttered in unison.
