Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth (Hannah and Noah) novel Chapter 352

Chapter 0352
Hannah
Noah pulled me close, his arm draped protectively around my shoulders as we made our way out of the doctor’s office. The familiar scent of him enveloped me, calming the remnants of my panic attack. I leaned into him as we waited for my driver to pull around.
Glancing around the parking lot, I noticed that I didn’t see Noah’s car anywhere.
“Where’s your car?” I asked, glancing up at him.
He dragged a hand through his hair, looking a bit sheepish. “I didn’t bring it.” When I shot him a confused look, he added, “I, uh… I ran here. In my wolf form.”
I pulled back slightly, looking up at him in surprise. “You what?”
“I didn’t even think about taking a car, if I’m being honest. I just… ran. Straight to you.”
The mental image of Noah sprinting through the streets in his massive wolf form, desperate to reach me, filled my heart to the brim. “But how did you know I needed you?”
Noah’s expression grew serious, his green eyes intense as they met mine. “I felt it. This… tug in my heart. The same one I felt when you were kidnapped. I just knew you needed me, and I couldn’t sit there in that stupid meeting and leave you on your own.”
With that, the car pulled up. Noah opened the door for me, ensuring that I was safe and comfortable inside before he climbed in and sidled up next to me.
As we drove home, the city blurring past us, I allowed myself to lean against him. Having him here with me, those strong arms wrapped securely around my shoulders, filled me with a sense of safety and peace that I hadn’t felt in a long time.
Suddenly, Noah shifted, turning to face me more fully. “Hannah, I… I can’t bear the thought of letting you go.” His voice was low, but I could hear the emotion in it, see it in his eyes. “I don’t want the divorce. I want you to stay.”
My breath caught in my throat. “But… Silvermoon…”
“I know you feel obligated,” he said quickly, his hands finding mine. “But if you stay, I promise I’ll help you find a way to protect Silvermoon from Alvin. We’ll figure it out together. We’re stronger as a team, Hannah.”
I was frozen, unable to speak, hardly even able to think. Noah’s thumbs traced circles on the backs of my hands, sending shivers up my arms. “Will you stay with me, Hannah? I want to work on our marriage, not just for our child, but for us. I’m sorry I’ve been so distant and cold throughout our marriage, but I genuinely want to be better, to become a better person.”
He paused, taking a deep breath before speaking his next words. “I… I love you, Hannah. I’m sorry I didn’t realize it sooner, but I realize it now. And I want to right all of the wrongs.”
My breath hitched at those three words. I love you. Had I ever heard them from him before? I couldn’t remember a time when he had said it throughout our marriage. Perhaps this was the first time.
In that moment, I felt my wolf stirring inside of me, not with the panic and rage that I’d felt earlier, but with

a deep, primal certainty.
I loved Noah too.
The realization washed over me like a crashing wave. I couldn’t leave him. I didn’t want to.
“I… I don’t want a divorce either,” I said softly. “I want to work on our marriage too, and on myself. I know! haven’t been a good partner in the past. I was obsessed with appearances, selfish, cruel even. But I want to become a better person, a better Luna.”
I looked into his eyes, my heart pounding. “And I love you, Noah. I really do.”
His cheeks reddened slightly, a boyish grin spreading across his face. “So… it’s settled, then? We won’t get divorced?”
I couldn’t help but smile back. I leaned against him, burying my face in the warm, buttery skin of his neck.
