Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth by Aurora Starling

Noah’s expression softened, his serious gaze never leaving mine. “I know, Hannah,” he said quietly. “And I wouldn’t expect you to change for me. You’re meant to be an Alpha–you possess the gene. I wouldn’t want you to be anything less.”

A soft laugh escaped my lips, the tension in my chest easing just a little. But before I could say anything else, Noah grinned, that familiar mischievous spark returning to his eyes. “Besides,” he said, leaning in closer, “you were always pretty terrible at being a Luna.”
