Ryan's POV
I sat in my office and worked on paperwork. 11 year old Hanna sat on the couch next to me as I did and talked. I listened to her every word with a smile on my face. "Ryan...I wanna play." She whined playfully and I chuckled.
She smiled at me, her blue eyes glistening. "Hanna I have work to do." I said and she pouted as she crossed her arms. She was adorable. I ruffled her hair and she giggled.
She took my hand and pulled. "I wanna play. How long will that take?" She asked as she played with my hand. I chuckled and let her play. She giggled and it's been so different since she turned 11.
"Hanna...I'll play with you in a few minutes." I smiled. She stood up and spun around excitedly making her way to the door. I finished my work and walked out after her.
Jessie walked up to me and bowed. "Alpha." He said and I really didn't want to talk to go him. "Is there anything I can do for you?" He asked and I shook my head as I tried to brush past him.
He intercepted me and I growled. "Jessie...move out of my way." He shook his head and crossed his arms. I huffed and he refused to move out of my way.
"Alpha I need to talk to you." He said and we walked back to my office. He closed the door behind him and turned to me. "Alpha as your beta I need to help you. You should stop spending all your time with Hanna. You need to find your mate." He said and I growled.
He looked down and sighed. "I have found my mate." I whispered and he shot me a glance. "She's mine and I love her." I growled and crossed my arms.
"Who is she?" He asked and I was growing annoyed. I glared at him and he glared back which made my wolf pissed. I knew as my beta and her father it was best for him to know. I gave in.
"It's Hanna." I told him and he just stared at me his eyes shocked.
