My legs were still trembling when the door opened and Lily poked her head in, already dressed for the day. Her
eyes widened slightly as she took in the scene: me, flushed and disheveled against the wall, and Noah, casually
drying his hands on a towel.
“Lily!” I breathed, shooting her a withering glare. “Don’t just walk in like-"
“Sorry, sorry!” Lily exclaimed, holding her hands up innocently, although there was no hiding the way her gaze
darted knowingly between us. “Breakfast is on the table. Mom sentto fetch you two.”
“Thanks, Lily,” Noah replied, smooth as ever. “We'll be down in a few minutes. Hannah was just about to
shower.”
As soon as the door closed, | let out a breath | didn’t realize | had been holding. “I'll... I'll shower, then,” |
muttered, pushing away from the wall.

He nodded, stepping aside to letpass. “I'll wait for you downstairs.”
The hot water did little to wash away what we had just done. As | scrubbed my skin until it was pink and
practically raw, | couldn't help but replay what had just happened over and over again in my head.
The way Noah's fingers had felt, the intense pleasure he had given me... and the revelation that | had been his
first. His only.
That thought alone madeshiver. He had never toldbefore, but then again, | supposed | had never asked.
| had just assumed that he and Zoe had sex all the tduring their relationship.
| found it hard to believe him-but it was even harder to find a reason not to. Still being a virgin by the tone
was twenty didn’t seem like something that most guys, especially Noah, would openly admit
unless it was true.
After showering, | quickly threw on a light sundress and a cardigan, roughly combing my hair before heading
downstairs.
By the t| joined everyone at the breakfast table, my hair was still damp and my cheeks were flushed from
more than just the hot shower. Noah was already seated, chatting amicably with my father about pack business.
“Good morning, sweetheart,” my mother greeted me, completely oblivious to my tension. “Sleep well?”
I nodded, not trusting myself to speak as | took the only open seat-which was right next to Noah. His leg brushed
against mine under the table, and | had to suppress a shiver..
Across the table, | caught a glimpse of my sister eyeingover her coffee cup. | met her gaze, and a tiny smirk
touched her lips, making my face redden even further. | narrowed my eyes, hardening my features- a silent order
for her to keep her mouth well enough shut.
She did. But my mother noticed.
“What are you two on about?” my mother laughed, passingthe fruit platter. “Are you turning into teenagers
again?”

Lily quickly shook her head and grinned impishly. “Of course not,” she cooed. “It’s nothing.”
Throughout breakfast, | found it increasingly difficult to act casual. Every tNoah's leg touched mine under
the table, | squirmed, memories of his touch flooding back. It was maddening, trying to maintain a normal
conversation while my body was on high alert like this.”

Part ofwas angry at myself for letting Noah touchearlier. But another part... another part couldn't stop
thinking about how good it had felt, how | had wanted more. I still wanted more, even though I knew it was bad.
After breakfast, we said our emotional goodbyes and packed our bags into the car. My mother’s hand found
mine, and she pulledaside, huggingtightly.
“Are you two going to be okay?” she whispered, low enough so only I could hear.
| stiffened in her arms. “Mom, I-”
“Just... think about what | said,” she murmured, gripping both of my shoulders tightly as she pulled back.” Really
think about it, Hannah. For you both, and...” She paused, placing her hand over my belly.
| nodded stiffly. “I'll think about it, Mom,” | responded.
Once we had said our goodbyes, Noah and | headed out to the car. | found myself hesitating before getting in.
Was | really going back to Nightcrest? After everything?
It felt like the right thing to do, all things considered. Noah had promised to care forthroughout the
pregnancy, and carrying the heir to a pack could be dangerous once the wrong people found out. | would be
safe, comfortable, healthy...
Or maybe | was just rationalizing it because | was sentimental. Because what had happened this morning had
been all too... missed. His touch had becso foreign tothat | hadn't even realized how much I craved it
until his hands were all over me.
