Hannah 

I tossed my phone aside, the screen still illuminated with the article titled “Hannah and Noah, the true star -crossed lovers, officially back together?” The accompanying photo showed us at the farmer’s market, pushing Melody’s stroller together, our hands brushing. 

My cheeks burned at the memory of that moment, the electricity that had sparked between us just minutes after our little ice cream memory. The soft afternoon light had caught Noah’s profile just right, highlighting the strong line of his jaw and the tenderness in his eyes as he looked down at our daughter. 

A knock at my study door interrupted my thoughts. “Come in,” I called, quickly composing myself and smoothing down my blouse. 

My father entered, his face beaming with excitement. Oh, no. Here we go… “Hannah, have you seen the news? This is wonderful! Why didn’t you tell me?” 

I sighed, already anticipating where this conversation was heading before he even held the newspaper out to show me the same article I’d just been looking at. 

“Dad, you really need to learn not to believe everything you read in the paper.” 

“But you were together at the market, weren’t you?” He scratched his head as he stared at the article.” The picture doesn’t lie, Hannah. Oh, I’m so happy for you both. I knew you and Noah would find your way back to each other someday.” 

“Dad…” 

“We should start planning the wedding soon,” my father continued, oblivious. “And of course, you’ll be moving back to Nightcrest with Noah, won’t you?” 

I felt a headache coming on, a dull throb beginning at my temples. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I said evenly, “Dad, slow down. We’re not planning a wedding anytime soon. Yes, we’re dating, but nothing is ‘ official‘ just yet. And besides,” I added, my voice growing firmer, steel entering my tone, “I’m not sure if I’m interested in going back to Nightcrest.” 

My father’s smile faltered. “But Hannah, just think about it. A nuclear family is so important. Melody needs her father in the picture, and Noah clearly cares for her. Plus, you two are fated mates. You belong together. Especially after everything.” 

“I can’t just give up my position as Alpha of Silvermoon, Dad,” I sighed, leaning back in my chair. “I’ve worked hard for this. It’s not something I can just toss aside on a whim.” 

“But there is a way to combine the packs,” he suggested. “You would have to be Noah’s Luna again, but you would have even more power if you joined Silvermoon and Nightcrest. Think of the strength that union would bring!” 

I leaned forward and rubbed my face with both hands, frustration building in my chest like a gathering storm. “I’m not just doing this for ‘power‘, Dad. My title and my independence are important to me. I can’t back down from being an Alpha so soon after becoming one. Do you know what that would make me look like? What sort of example that would set for my daughter?” 

My father’s brow furrowed. “What do you mean?”
