Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth (Hannah and Noah) novel Chapter 173

Chapter 0173 

Hannah 

I burst out into the cool morning air, gasping for breath and clutching my stomach. The image of Drake and Noah pounding each other into a pulp was seared into my mind, both terrifying and sickening all at 

once. 

All I wanted was to learn how to fight again–how to protect myself and my baby, how to prepare for when I would be a single mom and a female Alpha. 

But thanks to a couple of Alpha males, I couldn’t even do that. They just had to make today about them, and they had to nearly kill each other in the process. 

My 

y car was waiting down the street, but I couldn’t drive right now, and I had left all of my stuff inside. All I could manage to do instead was find a nearby bench and sink onto it, holding my face in my hands and pressing my knuckles into my eyes so I wouldn’t cry. 

i 

Goddess, even my shirt was soaked all the way through. I hadn’t even realized how the water splashed all over me in my frenzy to make them stop. There were a couple of small blood splatters on my top, too, although I didn’t know who they came from. 

And all for what? So Noah and Drake could finally have their long–awaited pissing contest and duke it out in the ring? 

As I sat there, my shoulders shaking with barely–contained sobs, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching. I jerked my head up, baring my fangs, to see Drake approaching. Noah was a few paces behind him, and both of them were holding ice packs to their bloodied and swollen faces. 

“Fuck off,” I growled, baring my fangs. “I don’t want to see either of you.” 

They both paused a few paces away. Drake shifted nervously from foot to foot and Noah remained stoic, staring blankly at the ground in front of him. Much to my chagrin, neither of them moved to leave me alone despite my order. 

With a huff, I rose from the bench and went to brush past them. But before I could do that, Noah stepped in the way.

My breath caught in my throat as I looked up at him. His eye was swollen, his lip black and blue, his shirt soaked with water and blood. He looked like death as he stared down at me from behind his ice pack. 

But he didn’t move out of the way, not even when I pulled my upper lip back to reveal my fangs again–my fangs, which hadn’t retracted since all of this had started. 

For a moment, he just blinked at me silently, his stance unwavering. His lips were pressed into a downward line, one corner twitching slightly with unspoken words. 

And it was in that moment that I felt myself soften. My fangs involuntarily retreated, my eyes wandering his face. I felt my heart stutter a bit in my chest at the sight of him. I wanted nothing more than to pull him into my arms and take care of him. 

But before I could even say anything, Drake was the first one to break the silence. 

I’m sorry, Hannah. This is my fault.”

I whipped my head around to face Drake, who looked even worse than Noah did. His shirt was torn, his hair a disaster and his face covered in blood and bruises. I knew he would heal quickly, just as Noah would, but it still made my knees feel like jelly just looking at him. 

“It’s both of your faults,” I growled in response. 

Drake sighed and cast a glance over at Noah, who remained silent. “Well…” Drake shrugged. “I’m sorry. Really 

I looked back and forth between the two of them for a moment and felt my shoulders slump. I felt like a schoolmarm scolding two unruly kids, not two adult men.
