The Half-Blood Alpha

Chapter 27

Hanna's POV

I felt someone lightly shake me. I looked up tiredly. My eyes were blurry from sleep but I could just make out Quinn standing over me.

"Luna wake up," he murmured.

"Hanna," I replied instinctively.

Quinn smiled. "Hanna wake up,"

I looked down and realised I was fully dressed on the couch.

"Did I fall asleep?" I asked.

"Yes," Quinn answered nodding. "Storm brought Ellie back. I thought you'd like to know,"

"Really?" I asked. "Thank you!"

Quinn bowed his head.

"Where is Storm now?" I asked.

"Sorry Luna she left a few minutes before you woke up," Quinn answered.

"You can call me Hanna you know," I told him. "You are third in command,"

"I know," Quinn responded. "It just feels more natural to call you Luna,"

"What time is it?" I asked.

"It's six in the morning," Quinn answered. "You should go back to sleep you look tired,"

I was about to argue when suddenly I started yawning.

"I should go," Quinn told me.

"Bye Quinn," I said. "Thanks for telling me that,"

Quinn smiled. "Of course Luna. Goodbye,"

I walked upstairs into the room Axel and I shared and flopped onto the bed. I was tired but I couldn't seem to fully fall asleep. I was lying for twenty minutes, half asleep when Axel walked in. He looked even more tired then I did.

Axel lay down beside me wrapping his arms around me, holding me to his chest.

Axel's POV

I walked into our room tired. I'd stayed up all night waiting for Storm to bring Ellie back. That wasn't all though. I didn't really say anything to Hanna but it really did bother me that Lachlan was helping Derek.

Just two years ago Lachlan had called as many packs as he could asking who was willing to help him kill Derek. I don't know what happened after that.

I lay down beside Hanna. I couldn't tell if she was asleep or not. My wolf wanted her but I was too tired. I wrapped my arms around her pulling her towards me so her back rested against my chest.

She was still fully clothed and so was I. Neither of us could be bothered to change. I didn't want to get up either. Being here with her was relaxing. It was a break from the stress of dealing with Derek and Lachlan.

I knew Hanna would support me, and as she was Luna I knew I should've let her help me more but moments like these were so peaceful and Hanna always seemed so calm, I didn't want to stop that.

Jack had told me time and time again I should include her more. Maybe I was selfish for not telling her. To be honest I didn't want to burden her anymore, not after her Mother had abandon her.

I knew Hanna didn't think about it a lot but every time she did she looked so heartbroken I couldn't stand it.

Hanna stirred turning to face me suddenly. Her lips pressed softly against mine and she closed her eyes. I watched for a few minutes soon she fell asleep. Holding her in my arms I did too.
