Chapter 0280
Noah
As Noah walked down the hallway of the pack house there was an uncharacteristic spring in his step…
And a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
Noah couldn’t help but feel the tiniest smile tug at the corners of his lips as he meandered through the sunlit hallways, gently picking the occasional leaf or imperfect petal from the bouquet.
“You’re in a good mood,” his wolf muttered.
Of course Noah was in a good mood. His plan was working perfectly, and soon, he would get exactly what he wanted. Not just what he wanted, but what he needed.
Hannah wouldn’t divorce him. He was sure of it.
Ever since he had saved Hannah from Jake, Noah had realized just how much he didn’t want to let her go. Sleeping with her all those weeks ago, even though it had just been one night together, had only reinforced that feeling.
No matter how much time had passed, the memory of that night still sent shivers down his spine–the way her warm body had felt in his arms, the taste of her lips, the sound of her breathless moans as he moved above her.
It had been so much different than their monthly intimacy nights. So much more passionate, so much more…. loving.
Love. Noah wasn’t sure how he felt about that word.

That could be changed, though. If only Noah had a little more time.
Maybe Noah’s reasons for wanting to keep Hannah around were a little selfish, he had to admit. She had taken on the role of Luna with the utmost grace lately, not at all like the way she had been during their marriage leading up to this point.
Before, she had hardly acted as anything more than a trophy wife. Noah had watched the cute girl he had married turn into a skeleton, a shell of her former self, with no interests, hobbies, or strength of her own.
But lately… Lately, she had been different.
With a Luna like her by his side, Noah was certain that Nightcrest would prosper even more than it already was. That was why he couldn’t let her go.

though they had shared a magical night together, she still wanted a divorce. She had said that that night. was a ‘mistake‘, that it would only complicate things.
That was when Noah had decided to try a different approach.
First, he would show her kindness, remind her of the good times they had once had. Then, he would bring up the concept of ‘casual‘ sex. A release for both of them. He did want her, that was no lie; and he knew that she wanted him, too.
