Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth (Hannah and Noah) novel Chapter 232

Chapter 0232
Noah
The single text from Hannah stared up at them from their screens: “WATERFALL!”
“Waterfall…?” Zoe muttered, scratching her head as she looked at her own screen. “Has Hannah finally lost it?”
Drake pursed his lips. “Maybe she’s playing a prank…”
Noah wanted to side with the others and believe that Hannah was just playing some kind of joke, or maybe that she was even drunk, but he couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of… urgency wash over him upon seeing that text.
“Something is wrong,” his wolf growled, bristling with worry. “I can sense it… Our mate is in trouble.”
Noah’s chest clenched at that word: mate. Maybe he forgot that he and Hannah were mated sometimes, or maybe he chose not to act like it. But they were, and his wolf was right. Something was wrong. And Noah would be damned if he didn’t go to her when his mate needed him.
“We need to go. Now,” Noah said, slipping his phone back into his pocket.
Drake nodded, already heading for the door. “I only brought my motorcycle, but—”
“No,” Noah said firmly as he pulled his keys out of his jacket pocket. “I’ll drive. I know where the rental is.”
Zoe hesitated for a moment, glancing between the two men before finally letting out a huff of air that caused a lock of her blonde hair to flutter into her eyes. “I’m coming too,” she said, grabbing her purse.
Noah didn’t have time to argue. The three of them rushed out to his car, piling in as Noah revved the engine. He peeled away from the curb like lightning, his tires screeching deafeningly against the asphalt.
As they sped down the dark roads toward Hannah’s rental, Noah’s knuckles were white on the steering wheel. His wolf was restless, urging him to go faster, to find Hannah.
“What do you think happened?” Zoe asked from the backseat, leaning forward between Noah and Drake.
“I don’t know,” Noah growled. “But it can’t be good. Hannah wouldn’t send a cryptic message like that without a good reason.”
“Maybe she’s drunk?” Zoe suggested.
Noah narrowed his eyes. “Hannah hasn’t been drinking lately, you know that. It can’t be that.”
Drake was typing furiously on his phone as Noah sped down the winding roads, “I’m trying to track her phone’s location, but it’s not working. Either it’s off now, or…”
He didn’t finish the sentence. They all knew what the alternative could mean.
“Well, keep trying,” Noah urged. “Any information could help.”
The car fell into a tense silence, broken only by the sound of the engine as Noah pushed it to its limits. After what felt like an eternity, they finally pulled up to the rental house. Noah was out of the car before it had fully stopped, rushing toward the front door.

Inside, they found chaos. The living room was destroyed, furniture overturned, and a shattered vase on the floor-with what looked like blood on it, no less. Noah stooped, letting his wolf get the scent, and let
out a breath of relief when he realized that it wasn’t Hannah’s blood.
“Ahh!” The sound of a woman’s scream pierced the air, and Noah jumped back to his feet just in time to avoid a flying plate. It hit the wall behind his head, shattering into a million pieces. With wide eyes, he turned to see Viona standing in the doorway to another room with another plate held high.
“Oh,” she said, lowering the plate. “It’s you.”
“What the hell is going on?” Noah demanded, his eyes scanning the room for any sign of Hannah. He saw Emma and Amber behind Viona, both holding makeshift weapons-a kitchen knife and a floor lamp-but
Hannah was nowhere to be found.
Viona shook her head, her eyes wide with fear. “We don’t know. We heard a commotion and what sounded like a gunshot. By the time we got down here, Hannah was gone and a black car was speeding
away.”
“We called the police,” Amber added in a trembling voice, “but they’re taking forever to get here.”
Noah ran a hand through his hair as he continued to look around the destroyed rental house. “Did you see anything else?” he demanded. “Anything at all that could help us find her?”
Emma spoke up, her voice trembling slightly. “Just before all this happened, Hannah sent that group text. Waterfall’. We didn’t know what it meant at first, but then I remembered…”
“Remembered what?” Drake stepped into the room.
