The Other One | Hannigram |

Chapter 15

"Mylimasis, are you sure you don't want me to assist you with anything?" Hannibal asked his beloved omega as he stood there near the entrance.

Hannibal had been serious about the Graham's moving in with him. There was not a lot Will and Abigail could bring since they had no home yet. Anything he could not bring with him was back in Wolf Trap which would be retrieved along with his lovable canines.

Will was thankful that Hannibal was so hospitable to them, but he said there was no need to be thanked. As the alpha of the family, he felt it was his responsibility to make sure his mate and child were happy and safe.

The omega wanted to head off and hunt for tonight. He knew Hannibal had been doing the hunting since they arrived and now Will wanted to as well. Soon, they would likely get used to hunting together, especially when they would have to teach Abigail.

"I'll be fine, Hannibal. I promise." Will comforted his beloved, leaning in to peck Hannibal's lips. "I won't be long."

"Be careful." Hannibal said as he walked the omega out and watched him leave.

"I didn't think Hannibal would be the type to date." Frederick sat at his chair while he stared at nothing in particular in his office.

Alana was sitting at one of the chairs examining the notes from Hannibal's interview with Abel. She was comparing notes that she had made as well. Frederick was still confident as ever in his belief that Abel Gideon was the Chesapeake Ripper.

"It's none of your business, Frederick. Now you can just move on from your infatuation with Will." Alana kept her eyes on the paper in her hands.

Frederick scoffed at that. He had been thrown a ton of surprises upon learning more about Will's personal life. He had only heard of small things about the man (mainly from Jack), but he was still a mystery to him. He could not deny Will's dark curls and ocean blue eyes. It would have been difficult for anyone to understand the man was single, but according to Hannibal's actions Will was taken.

Also, the fact that Will was a parent. He was not anticipating that. The little girl was undoubtedly Will's with her dark locks and cerulean irises. It was annoying seeing how close Hannibal was already with the child, but Frederick could not imagine doing it himself. Children and pets were of his preference.

He did not want to get in Hannibal's way of being in a relationship with Will. In the time he has known the other psychiatrist, he has seen him as a friend. Still, he could not get that glare out of his head. Hannibal was most definitely protective of what was his and Frederick thought it was best to not challenge him.

It was best he let go of any hope he thought he had of being with Will. He should likely apologize and tell him that he would leave him alone for now. No use in getting on anyone's radar.

Frederick sighed and got up from his chair and grabbed his coat from his coat rack. Alana watched with curiosity. "Heading home, Frederick?"

"Not until I talk to Will." Frederick replied, snatching his cane and walking away from his desk.

Alana got up instantly hearing Will's name. "You're gonna go talk to Will?" She knew the man had interest in her friend not that he was backing off. "Frederick, maybe you should just leave him alone. Your attempts of hitting on him is just making him uncomfortable."

Frederick turned to Alana. "Don't worry. I'm not going to dare touch what's Hannibal's."

Alana looked annoyed. "Hannibal would never treat Will like an object. Besides, Will was never interested in you, Frederick."
