Hannah
The pain in my battered body was immense.
Drake and Viona helpedonto a seat in the back room of the church, away from prying eyes, having to
support my weight the entire time. The wedding had turned into chaos as guards went running after Zoe. Scott,
too, had disappeared along with her, slipping out a back door.
“Catch him!” Noah cried out. “I want that bastard in handcuffs!”
My legs felt like jelly, weak and unsteady from the adrenaline crash and the pain radiating from my side.” Each
breath sent a sharp stab through my chest-I was certain | had at least one broken rib.
“Easy does it,” Drake murmured as they loweredonto the plush chair. “Just take it slow, Hannah.” | winced as

managed to whisper, my voice hoarse,
Before anyone could say anything else, the door burst open. Noah rushed in, his tuxedo disheveled and his hair
wild. His eyes locked onto mine, and in an instant, he was on his knees in front of me, wrapping his arms around
“Hannah,” he breathed into my air. “Oh, Hannah...”
The sudden pressure on my injured ribs madechoke and sputter. “Ow...” Noah immediately pulled back, his
eyes wide.
“Shit. Fuck. I'm so sorry,” he said quickly, his hands hovering overuncertainly. “I didn’t mean to hurt you. Are
you okay?”
| nodded, trying to catch my breath. “I'm fine,” | gasped. “Just... broken rib, | think.” Viona scoffed. “Just a broken
rib, she says. The ambulance should be here soon.”
Noah's face twisted with anguish. “Oh, Hannah. I'm so sorry. For everything.”
He turned to Drake and Viona. “Thank you both. If you hadn’t cwhen you did...” He shook his head, his face
darkening. “I would have married Zoe. She would have usedto make Adam the heir to Nightcrest. And after
that...” His voice dropped to a whisper. “I think she might have even killed me. With Scott's help.”
A chill ran down my spine at his words. “Noah,” | said softly, reaching out to take his hand. “What happened?”
He took a deep breath, his thumb absently tracing circles on the back of my hand. “After | left you at Darkmoon, |
went hto start working on getting you released. | hadn't told Zoe that | remembered everything yet-I
wanted to have her quietly removed from the house first, to avoid causing trouble or frightening Adam.”
Noah's eyes clouded with anger. “But when | got home, | found her burning the pictures and letters | had
discovered. She knew | had gone to see you because Scott had betrayed me. He had been watching where |
went and told Zoe everything.”

“He’s been working with Zoe all these years,” Noah continued. “He was there when she initially cut our mate
bond, Hannah. He was one of the people holdingdown.”
| felt hot fury burn throughat that. No wonder Scott had seemed so incompetent lately... He wasn't trying to
helpor Noah, He was working with Zoe. Worming his way through our lives, tripping us up wherever he
could.
And to think that | had once confided in him. Asked him to helpwith WhiteRabbit.
| wondered if Zoe was the one who had paid WhiteRabbit to sellthose contraceptives, because she wanted to
ensure that Noah and | didn’t produce an heir. I'd have to look into that later.
“When | found Zoe burning everything. | tried to stop her.” Noah went on. “But she was furious. She had Scott
holddown again, and she poured this special jasmine tea down my throat. It... it fogs memories, makes them
easier to alter.”
