Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0243
“Drake-”
“Hannah!” I heard familiar voices call out, cutting me off. I turned to see Viona, Amber, and Emma running toward us, their faces streaked with tears and their eyes wild. They engulfed me in a group hug, all talking
at once.
“We were so worried-”
“Are you okay?”
“What happened?”
I hugged them back, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the sudden rush of activity. “I-I’m okay,” I said, my voice m****ed against someone’s shoulder. “Thanks to them.”
As they pulled back, I nodded toward Drake and Noah. Noah was already being led away by a paramedic; meanwhile, Drake was looking at the dead bodies scattered around the cliffside, a stony expression on
his face.

Before I could say anything else, one of the paramedics rushed up to me and placed a foil blanket around me, checking my eyes and body for injuries. Thankfully, aside from a cut and a bit of blood on my leg from when Noah and I crashed against the side of the cliff, I was unharmed. Physically, at least.
The next twenty minutes were a blur of tests and questions. Noah was lost in the crowd of police officers and paramedics, although I could hear him speaking, so I knew he was alright.
“You’ll have to spend the night in hospital,” the EMT said as she checked my eyes for the millionth time.
Just to be safe.”
I nodded and watched as she left. My eyes wandered over to Drake again, who was still standing off on his own. Rising on shaky feet despite my friends’ protests, I limped over to him.
“Thank you,” I said, throwing my arms around him and hugging him tightly. “For everything.”
He hugged me back with an iron grip for a moment, huffing deeply into my shoulder, before he pulled back slightly. “I’m glad we found you,” he murmured in a hoarse voice.
“How did you guys do it?” I asked as we pulled apart.
Drake’s eyes flicked to Noah, who was still being checked over by the paramedics. “It was Noah,” he admitted. “As soon as he got your text, he knew something was wrong. He was the one who figured out where you might be and insisted we come looking for you immediately.”
I looked over at Noah, surprised. Despite everything that had happened between us, he had come for me without hesitation. As I watched him wince while a paramedic cleaned a cut on his arm, I felt myself soften.
But then, my eyes landed on Zoe-who was standing by herself, in a sparkling red dress, by one of the police cars.
There was an undeniable flicker of something… off when our eyes met. What was she doing here, dressed like that? And why…

“Luna?” The sound of a voice ripped me out of my reverie, and I turned to see a police officer approaching. “We need to ask you some questions about what happened.”
I nodded, taking one last glance toward Zoe to find that she had walked away. “Of course.”
As I recounted the events of the night to the officer, my mind kept wandering back to Noah. The way he had leaped after me without hesitation, risking his own life to save mine. The fear in his eyes. The gentle way he had held me as we dangled from the cliff.
