Chapter 0350
Noah & Hannah
Noah's POV
Noah's eyes were fixed on the businessman sitting across from him at the conference table, but his mind was far
away. So far away.
So far, in fact, that the man’s droning voice sounded like it was underwater. He was saying something about
stocks and expenditures, but it sounded garbled, meaningless, silly.
Noah’s mind was on one thing. Or rather, one person.
The hurt in her eyes last night, the fear in her voice-it haunted him. Hannah had lashed out at him, tossing and
turning like an angry lioness all night. When he'd tried to touch her, she had flinched away. At spoint, even
in sleep, she had even snarled at him when he tried to pull her close.
But he couldn’t blher. The procedure she was facing was terrifying, and he should have been there with her.
With his... mate.
His wolf stirred restlessly inside of him, pacing and growling as if Noah's mind was a cage.

“You have fallen in love with her after all,” his wolf snarled. “You really have, you lovestruck bastard...”
“Alpha Noah?”
The sound of the businessman’s voice dragged Noah back to the present. He blinked, one long leg crossed
widely over the other. “Hm?”
“The spreadsheets,” the businessman said, gesturing to the untouched folder sitting in front of Noah. “If you'll
flip to page seven...”
“Right...”
Noah flipped to the page, but the figures staring up at him were like hieroglyphs. Still, he nodded and hummed
along with the businessman’s droning, pretending to be listening. Noah didn’t need to do much more than that,
anyway; the bastard in the suit that was two sizes too big just liked to hear himself talk.
“Fine,” he thought to his wolf, “You're right.”
His wolf growled with pleasure.
He couldn’t deny it any longer. Over the past few weeks, something had changed. The ice around his heart had
melted, replaced by a warmth he hadn't felt in years.
Yes, he had fallen in love with Hannah. Head over heels, completely and utterly in love.
He loved the way she smiled at him in the mornings, still sleepy and soft and lazy. He loved the sound of her
laughter when it was genuine and unguarded. He loved the feel of her skin against his. And she smelled so damn
good.
Every little detail about her had becprecious to him. Once, he had only intended to woo her enough to make
her want to stay so his heir could remain in Nightcrest, but...
He had been the one who had fallen for her.

And he was hurting her by not being there for her.
Goddess, what the fuck was he doing here in this stuffy conference room? Why wasn’t he with the woman he
loved right now?
In that moment, Noah felt a tug on the inside of his chest, like a fishing wire tied to his heart, pulling him out of
this room and toward Hannah. The sensation was so strong it was almost physical, making him shift
uncomfortably in his seat.
“She needs you, you bastard,” his wolf growled.

Yes, she did. Noah knew what he needed to do.
Without a word, Noah stood abruptly, his chair scraping loudly against the floor. The sound echoed in the
suddenly silent room, all eyes turning to him in surprise.
“I apologize,” Noah said, his voice firm. “But | have to leave. There's somewhere | need to be.”
He turned and walked toward the door, ignoring the shocked gasps and murmurs from the other attendees.
“Alpha Noah!” the businessman called after him. “Where are you going?! Alpha Noah!”
But Noah didn’t stop, didn’t look back, didn’t falter. To hell with business meetings. Hannah needed him.
Hannah's POV
The nurse explained the procedure, just as the doctor had two weeks ago. “We'll use this long needle...”
My eyes landed on the instruments laid out on a nearby tray. The long, thin needle glinted under the harsh
fluorescent lights, just as menacing as | had expected,
Fuck, | couldn't breathe-
“And then we'll send the fluid in for testing...”
As the nurse spoke, another nurse gently pushed my shoulders back onto the exam table. My vision filled with
the blinding glow of lights. There was a brown water stain on the ceiling, and it looked like-like blood
A hand touched my thigh. “A little wider, Luna Hannah..”
