Noah
“Telleverything you know about White Rabbit.”
Noah leaned back in his chair, regarding his Beta carefully. The morning sun shone through the office windows,
but Noah had not yet slept. He couldn't sleep last night; there was too much to do. Too many moving parts to
manage, too much damage to control. A mysterious forum post and now... this.
Scott shifted uncomfortably in his seat. “There's not much to tell, Alpha. Luna Hannah askedto look into the
username, so | did.”
Noah resisted the urge to let loose a warning growl. Scott, seeming to sense that his Alpha’s patience was
particularly thin today, almost shrank a bit in his chair.
“The vendor... disappeared a few months ago,” Scott elaborated quickly. “After selling Hannah those diet pills.
Luna Hannah never toldmore than that, and | never found anything other than an IP address

traced to a random address overseas.”
Noah's eyes narrowed. “Where was it traced to?”
Scott pulled out a notepad, flipping through it. “It was... ah, here it is. A small town overseas. I've got the exact
coordinates written down. But when | looked into it, there were no residents at the address. The local
government said the house has been condemned for years.”
As Scott rattled off the location, Noah's mind raced. The place sounded familiar... uncomfortably so.
It was close to where his doctor had gone on that strange, unprecedented vacation. And the date...
“When did you say the vendor disappeared?” Noah asked.
Scott checked his notes again. “It was about five months ago, sir. Right around the time...”
“Right around the tDr. Patel left for his vacation,” Noah finished, his suspicion growing.
And also around the tthat Hannah got pregnant.
Scott's eyebrows shot up. “You think there's a connection?”
Noah waved his hand dismissively, not answering Scott's question. “That'll be all for now.”
With a nod, Scott rose and strode over to the door. But Noah stopped him before he left with one gruff command.
“You are supposed to be my Beta, Scott. | expect you to tellwhen my wife asks you to look into shady online
dealers.”
Scott stiffened, his hand curling around the doorknob. Noah said nothing more, effectively dismissing him.
As Scott left the office, Noah's thoughts turned to Hannah. She must have made the sconnection yesterday,
linking the elusive online nature of White Rabbit to the forum poster. He couldn’t blher for making that
connection. And perhaps she was onto something
Noah found himself somewhat... impressed by her instincts. She had proven herself to be correct about

these things before.

He should have been angry with her for not telling him about WhiteRabbit sooner, but... he wasn’t. If anything,
he respected her more for making that connection, for taking initiative. And for everything else she had been
doing lately-her work with the Luna Council, her efforts to better herself.
A low growl rumbled in his chest as his wolf stirred. “You're falling for her,” he accused.
Noah didn’t realize it, but a small smile had been touching his lips. He quickly schooled his expression and
gritted his teeth.
The truth was, he had been falling for Hannah for months now. Ever since she was kidnapped, and he had nearly
lost her.
The fear he had felt then, the desperation to get her back... it had awakened something in him. It tormented him
at night. That was why he wanted to share a bed with her: fear. He wanted to protect her, and...
Sleeping beside her had alleviated sof his nightmares. He knew it had done the sfor her, too. She had
been dreaming about that night on the cliff, just as he had.
When they had begun sharing a bed again, both of them had been better-rested. They wouldn't admit it to each
other, but it was apparent on both of their faces. It wasn’t just the sex making them glow, although that helped,
too.
