Chapter 0263

Hannah

I looked up at Noah with a cocked eyebrow, my curiosity piquing despite my best efforts to remain aloof.

“A proposition?” I asked, turning my head to look at another couple dancing as though looking at him was below me. “What kind of proposition?”

Noah’s hand tightened slightly on my waist as we swayed to the music, instantly commanding my attention once more despite my best efforts.

His green eyes were intense, focused solely on me. The warmth of his palm seeped through the thin fabric of my gown, making my skin tingle, and the feeling of our bodies pressed up against one another was more than I had anticipated tonight..

I hated to admit it, even to myself, but feeling him like this was… nice. Needed. Missed.

“I’d like to extend the terms of our divorce,” he said, his voice low enough so that only I could hear. My eyes widened. “What are you saying?”

“Let’s hold off on the divorce, at least until after the upcoming summer hunt,” he said, his eyes darting around in search of anyone who might be eavesdropping. “Two more months is all I’m asking.”

Surprise coursed through me, my wolf stirring at his words. He spun me as the music crescendoed, and when I came back to him with one palm cupped against his chest, I couldn’t decide whether I was more breathless from the twirl or the question.

“Two more months? Why?” I hissed.

He took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling against mine. “I heard you might get a spot on the Luna Council soon. If you’re no longer a Luna, you could possibly lose that opportunity.”

My heart skipped a beat. How did he know about that? The Luna Queen had only just extended the invitation to visit the Council for a day.

Noah continued, his voice taking on a softer tone, “Plus, I could really use your expertise with the upcoming summer hunt. You’ve done an amazing job with this gala, and…”
