Chapter 440
Chapter 0440 Noah
Hannah arched her back and slipped her leg to the side, strawberry blonde hair spilling over her shoulder. Pale blue moonlight filtered in through the sheer curtains, illuminating her skin like liquid silver.
Noah couldn't stop himself from wondering if this was real. Even as his lips brushed her cool skin, his fingers working in slow circles between her legs, her quiet gasps rising into the air, he felt like he was in a dream. Hannah was his again. His mate. After everything, they had been given another chance together.
Ever since Hannah had told him that her rebirth was real, that it wasn't just a joke or a story she'd made up to cope with everything happening in their lives, he had been wondering why the Moon Goddess had given her a second chance at life.
It seemed impossible, completely unheard of. The Moon Goddess bringing someone back from death and giving them a chance to fix what had led to their demise...
Noah couldn't believe it right away.
But when Hannah had told him so sincerely about everything, every little detail of her life and death and rebirth, he realized that he had to believe her. For both of their sakes, he needed to believe her, even if it felt impossible.
So he had. But it wasn't easy to make sense of why this had happened to her.
At first, he had thought that Hannah had been brought back for their child's sake-to give Melody a chance to be in this world. Maybe there was something special about their daughter, and the Moon Goddess thought it necessary to keep her on this earth. Then, he had thought that it was Hannah herself who was special; maybe she had a purpose to fulfill. Noah knew it to be true, of course. Hannah had a destiny of her own, and she was still young. If she'd already experienced so much, then surely there was far more to
come.

And then Noah had wondered if Hannah's second chance was given to her because of what had been
done to their mate bond.
Almost severed, but not quite. A few threads had remained, even after Zoe's ritual.
Therefore, when Hannah had died, she was still Noah's fated mate, even if neither of them knew it.
Maybe that meant that the Moon Goddess wanted to give them a second chance, too.
Or maybe it was all of those things, Noah thought as he grazed gentle kisses across Hannah's skin. Maybe it was Hannah and Melody and their mate bond that were special and needed saving. But in the end, it didn't matter; what truly mattered was that she was here. Now.

Slipping his shirt off over his head, Noah kneeled between Hannah's legs. She trailed her cool fingers down his torso, sending a shiver through his body.
"I've missed you," she murmured, her voice husky with desire. "I've missed... this."
Noah couldn't help but smirk a bit as he caged her against the bed, just as he had done so many times before. Hannah propped herself up on her elbows, tilting her head back to look at him for a moment, before she eased down onto the pillow.
"You know, despite everything that happened," Noah whispered, the head of his cock gently pushing against her opening, "I never forgot about that night in the woods."
Hannah's cheeks instantly flushed pink at the memory as if she weren't already fully nude in front of him, her breasts completely exposed in the moonlight. As if they hadn't made love hundreds of times before.
"You mean when I..."
Noah's smirk grew. He pressed just a little bit harder against her, and the tip slipped in just enough for her to let out a tiny whimper, her hips greedily moving forward in an attempt to take more of him.
"Yes. When you howled loud enough for the entire party to hear," he finished for her. He pulled back a little so that she couldn't get him too deep, resulting in a frustrated growl on her part. But not just yet; he wanted to tease her. Savor her. Taste every part all over again, painstakingly, even if it took all night.
