Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0464

Hannah

“Hannah… Hannah, wake up…”

As if trudging my entire body through a layer of mud, I slowly returned to consciousness. And the first thing I became aware of as I returned to that consciousness was the overwhelming urge to vomit, quickly followed by the sensation of a headache that was pounding hard enough that it felt as if each throb might finally crack my skull from the inside.

Then, I cracked one eye open and immediately groaned and shut it again as the light from a nearby lamp blinded me with the force of a thousand suns.

“Oh, thank goodness. She’s awake. Hannah, are you alright?” Viona fanned my face gently with a magazine. “You’re gonna be fine…”

“Ugh… I’m gonna…” I felt hot bile rise in my throat, the urge to vomit no longer avoidable. Sensing this, my friend quickly turned me so I was on my side and rubbed my back while I retched into a small trash can.

When I was finally finished emptying the contents of my stomach, Viona paled and handed the can to the housekeeper, who hurried away to dispose of it.

Now that that was out of the way, I managed to open my eyes fully and sit up a little. I found myself in the living room, laying on the large sectional couch. Noah was sitting up on the other end of the sofa, hanging his head while Drake patted him on the back.

He looked just as awful as I felt. And worried.

“Hannah-” Noah began to rise to move to me, but Drake shoved him back down.

“Oh no, lover boy,” Drake chided. “She’s fine. Don’t try to get up. I’m not cleaning more of your puke up off the carpet.”

Noah looked fit to be tied, but I managed a small smile and sent a stroke of reassurance through the bond, causing him to relax just a little.

Viona handed me a glass of water. I gulped it down greedily and wiped my mouth with the back of my

hand.

I muttered, rubbing my other hand across my sweat–soaked forehead. The last thing I remembered was having a bit too
