Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0329

Hannah

Noah held my wrist tightly, his finger stroking my inner wrist.

I felt my resolve crumbling, and there was no hiding the way my hand trembled under his touch. His eyes flicked between my hand and my face, reading my conflicting emotions like an open book.

“I know you want me, Hannah,” he said softly, his voice low and husky. He rose to his full height, still holding my wrist. “You don’t need to lie anymore.”

I swallowed hard, craning my neck back just to look up at him. His eyes caught the light of the bedside table, tiny wildfires burning in the forest–green depths. I wanted to kiss him, to shove him down on the bed, to ride him like my life depended on it.

But I restrained myself. I pulled away, turning to grip the dresser. The cool wood under my palms grounded me, but my mind was still racing, torn between desire and reason. The large hotel room suddenly felt too small for the both of us.

Finally, I took a deep breath and spoke.

“Noah, I think we need to be honest about our feelings,” I said, my voice hardly more than a whisper. “Yes, I enjoyed what happened earlier. The way you touched me… it felt incredible. But if we’re still getting divorced, this could complicate things. It would tangle up our emotions and make everything more

difficult.”

I felt Noah stiffen behind me. “So you still want the divorce?” he asked, his tone carefully neutral.

I nodded slowly, feeling a pang in my chest as I did so. “Our marriage has been in shambles for years. We’ve been living like strangers, Noah. And… there’s something else.” I paused, steeling myself for his reaction to what I was about to say.

“I want to take over Silvermoon when my father abdicates,” I said. “And I can’t do that if I’m married to another Alpha.”

Noah was silent. Slowly, hesitantly, I turned to find that he was now facing the window, his shoulders rigid. I wanted to go to him, but I didn’t. I couldn’t.
