Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth

Chapter 0007

I was drained just listening to all these events. I used to love the spotlight and the exposure, but that was back when I loved Noah, when I wanted to stand by his side, proclaim him as mine to the world, and relished the envy of other women as they basked in our glory. But now I knew that was all just a façade.

I shook my head.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Noah, I'm tired of being a trophy wife and attending these events endlessly.

"Since when?"

"Since I realized that there's a lot more to life, to myself, than that."

Noah's lips flattened into a thin line.

"I realized that I needed a man, a husband, not just a business partner to satisfy me," I continued. Noah's eyes narrowed at me. He closed the distance between us and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me in close. My breath caught in my chest as I felt his groin press into mine.

I looked into his eyes. A whirlpool of emotions seemed to swirl within them, drawing me closer to him as 1 placed my hands on his shoulders. He lowered his head toward mine, as though he were about to kiss

1. me.

I could not get myself to move away. His square jaw, with just a hint of 5 o'clock shadow, and dark eyes mesmerized me. The scent of oak, freshly cut grass, and musk froze me in place as his lips were about to touch mine. Then Noah withdrew, unwrapping his arms from around me, and stepped back.

I blinked as I came to my senses. A light blush spread across the top of my cheeks, but I did not allow myself to physically react otherwise. I would not give him that victory.

"Emotional needs?" Noah asked sarcastically. "Is that all you want? I can still fulfill that for you."

I glared at Noah briefly. My eyes then relaxed, and I sauntered over to him. I placed my hands gently on his chest, momentarily running my fingertips over his pecs before I stopped near his nipples.

"Are you sure?" I asked, my voice low.

Noah's eyes widened in surprise.

Certainly, this was something that my old self never would have done. Lhad focused too much on maintaining my elegant demeanor in my efforts to please Noah to be this spontaneous. I was tired of being that same old Luna.

I looked past Noah to Scott. The poor man seemed as though he might pass out from all this information that he did not want to know about his Alpha and Luna, I decided to at least have some pity on him. "Scott, this really is a private matter between Alpha Noah and me. It has nothing to do with you. You are dismissed," I said, taking the moment to further overstep my boundaries and give Noah's Beta orders. I was curious to see how Scott would react to my command. It would be interesting to see who he would obey in a case like this, after he had secretly declared loyalty to me. Noah was still his half-brother, after

all; there was no accounting for familial loyalty.

Scott glanced over at Noah. Noah did nothing to disagree with my request, so Scott took this opportunity to make his escape.

"Thank you, Luna Hannah," he said. "I will call you later, Alpha Noah."

In a flash, he had departed with Noah's schedule folder in hand. At least neither of them had argued with me on that point.

Noah did not seem to even notice that Scott had left..

I grinned to myself. Noah was speechless. Now was the time for the killing blow.

"Like I was saying." I said, walking two of my fingers up his left pec, "you had never been able to satisfy me physically, why would you be able to do so emotionally?"

I felt his muscles tense beneath my hands.

"You have the hardware, but your technique and attitude are both lacking."

I stepped back out of his range, although I was sure that he would never swing on me..

Noah's face darkened, and I backed up even farther.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked through gritted teeth.
