Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth (Hannah and Noah) novel Chapter 281

Chapter 0281 

A soft growl rumbled in Noah’s chest at that, but he didn’t respond. Maybe his wolf was right; maybe he was a schemer who only wanted to keep his forlorn wife around for his own needs and wants 

But there was still a tiny part of Noah–the same part that had leaped over that waterfall, thinking only of holding her in his arms again–that did care for her. That wanted to rekindle their love, have children, grow old together… 

As he approached Hannah’s office, Noah cleared his head and went over what he would say to her one last time: 

“Hannah, I was thinking… Why don’t we go out tonight? Just the two of us. No pressure, no talk about the future. Just a nice dinner and maybe a walk?” 

He could almost see her hesitation, the way she would bite her lower lip as she considered his offer. But he was confident she would say yes. She always had a hard time resisting his charm. 

But then, just as he was about to knock on Hannah’s office door, he heard voices inside. He slowed his steps, not wanting to interrupt if she was in a meeting. But as he got closer, he realized it wasn’t a friendly conversation he was overhearing. 

“Just take the serum, Hannah,” a male voice demanded from the other side of the door. Noah 

immediately recognized it as Leonard’s voice. “Prove you’re not lying, and then I won’t bother you about it again. But I need to protect our Alpha.” 

Noah’s wolf stirred inside of him, bristling at the threatening tone in Leonard’s voice. Leonard had been a 

problem lately, accusing Hannah of taking favors from Drake. Was he harassing Hannah? 

Before trying the handle, Noah pressed closer to the door, straining to hear Hannah’s response. 

“I’ve already told you, Leonard,” Hannah’s voice came, sounding exasperated, “I’m not taking any strange substances you give me. For all I know, it could be poison!” 

Noah’s brow furrowed. What was going on in there? His grip tightened on the bouquet, crushing some of the delicate petals. He reached for the doorknob, but his hand faltered in the air as he heard Leonard’s next words. 

“I can assure you, it’s not poison,” Leonard insisted. “It’s a simple truth serum. One sip, and you will have to tell the truth about you and Drake.” 

Noah furrowed his brow at the mention of Drake. Once, he had only felt jealousy at the thought of him; but ever since that night at the waterfall, Noah had developed a begrudging sort of respect for Drake. 

And Noah knew, now, that Drake really was nothing more than a friend to Hannah. She had even said so herself that night they had slept together, admitting openly that it was Noah’s name after all that she had moaned all those times she had touched herself under the sheets. 

And even if she had been lying, why was Leonard harassing her? It wasn’t his place. She was still his Luna. Noah grabbed the door handle, trying it, but it was locked. Leonard and Hannah, too engaged in their argument, didn’t seem to notice. 

“There’s nothing to tell, Leonard!” Hannah exclaimed. How many times do I have to say it? Drake and !
