Revolting

Michael and Hannah ventured up to the packhouse for breakfast. Hannah was no longer afraid to be around a lot of strange people, but she still stayed pressed close to Michael's side. She was shocked and delighted when Boyd greeted her with his own rough and husky voice. He and Daisy were also sporting fresh new marks. Hannah admired the newborn and took a turn holding him before the food was served.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Everyone was congratulatory as Michael explained that Hannah was perfectly and fully Hannah, even if her speech was still affected.

When the chatter about newly marked mates finally died down, William cleared his throat and stood. "I have an announcement to make," He looked down at Heath and smiled lovingly. "Since Hannah has been returned to us safely, he has finally agreed to do the honor of becoming my husband. We are planning a wedding ceremony in two weeks." His eyes went across the table to Michael and to Hannah. "We hope that you will stay, at least till then."

Michael looked to Hannah for confirmation, and she nodded eagerly. Michael smiled and nodded. "Looks like we'll hang around."

William grinned and reached for Heath's hand. Their love story was finally coming full circle. Before he could sit back down, Daisy deposited baby Gabe in his arms. He cuddled the baby close and sat back down. "Looks like we already have our ring-bearer."

Heath leaned into William and draped his arm around him. Hannah watched them with a content smile. She was happy for her brother, happy that he had found a home, and happy that he had such a warm and wonderful mate to walk through life with. She knew that they would be wonderful parents, and that Baby Gabe would want for nothing with sweet Daisy as a mother and three incredible fathers to look out for him.

She glanced up at Michael, her eyes tracing lovingly over his square jaw and his full sensual lips. She was already thinking about what it would be like to have his baby. She narrowed her eyes at him. He was awfully big. His pups would be ginormous.

Across the table Caroline shuffled uncomfortably, and Lonnie was pouting over his plate of pancakes. Hannah looked over at them and met the sad gaze of the other woman. Caroline swallowed and took a deep breath. "Well, I suppose it's about time for us to be moving on. We did our part to testify for you Michael."

Michael nodded at her, "I deeply appreciate that you stayed to speak on my behalf. Caroline, Lonnie. You are good people."

Caroline nodded. Lonnie grumbled something under his breath, but whatever it was, Caroline cut it off by elbowing him in the ribs. He grunted and rubbed at the spot, giving his wife a sour look before he resumed eating his food. Hannah watched them with a frown on her face. Her eyes glazed over for a moment as she focused her thoughts back toward Michael.

We can't just let them go. They are our people.

Michael stared down at his little mate for a long time without speaking, as he contemplated many things. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. You know, he said back to her through the link. You were born to be a luna. She snorted at him in response.

Michael pushed himself to his feet. "Caroline, Lonnie, could we speak to you, outside, please." He offered his hand to Hannah, and she took it with a bright smile. They thanked the Luna for breakfast and then slipped outside. The four of them walked together until they were a good distance from the pack house and werewolves with keen, supernatural hearing.

"Well," Lonnie asked testily when they reached the shade of a big maple. Despite his grumpy attitude, he kept his eyes respectfully lowered.

"I wanted you to know," Michael said carefully, "That Hannah and I are not going to remain in Rebel Moon."

Caroline looked shocked. "You- You're not?" her eyes darted between them, "but I thought for sure that they'd offer you a place, what with Hannah's brother being mated here and all that."

"They did offer. But we decided that this is not the right place for us." Michael slipped an arm around Hannah's shoulders and drew her in closer. "We will stay for her brother's wedding. Then we will be going out again." He looked each of them in the eye for a long and thoughtful moment. "We've been through a lot together. We'd be glad if you would continue to run with us. We would have welcomed Boyd too, but I'm pretty sure he's going to want to stay put." Caroline looked happy and relieved. Lonnie blew out his chest. "Well, I suppose you will be safer with us around." Michael could only shake his head at the man.

"I'll talk to Alpha Shane. I think he will allow you to stay until the wedding so that we can leave together when it's over." He glanced down at Hannah and saw her eyes shining with pride and appreciation. Her approval did more to bolster his ego than winning ten battles. Her eyes suddenly grew heated as they traveled slowly down his body.

Let's go back to the cottage... Alpha.
