The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter

Hanna was feeling dejected. They had been in the same entourage for days, but she couldn’t snag a chance to talk with Will. Because they only took short breaks at times and then continued with their journey again and when night fell, she would already be so tired. There was no way she would be able to hold a conversation with Will in such a state.

However, when Hanna finally got a chance to see him, she was frozen in her place, she didn’t dare to approach him. His rejection was still clear in her mind and it hurt her to an extent she didn’t even realize.

It was so true when people said, the depth of your love toward someone was equal to the depth of your pain, if not more.

"Are you okay?" Ethan approached Hanna, as they took a ten minute break to eat and hydrate themselves, before they continued again. The Gamma sat down next to her and offered her some dry meat, but Hanna shook her head. "Eat more, I don’t want Will to continue glaring at me if you got any thinner than this."

Hanna glanced at Ethan, both of them sat down under a huge tree with its roots protruding from the ground.

"He doesn’t care."

Ethan clicked his tongue when he heard that. "You know he cares, but he is dealing with something within himself, be patient with him."

"I don’t know," Hanna replied in a whispery tone. "I don’t think he wants me anymore."

"Don’t be ridiculous." Ethan leaned over and talked to her in a low voice, so only Hanna could hear him. "He will not go crazy and kill those two guards if he doesn’t care about you," he said in a decisive tone and then proceeded to spill the beans about what Will had asked them to do for her. "See? I told you, right? He cares about you."

"Don’t give me bullshit," Hanna grumbled, she hugged her knees before she rested her chin on top of them.

"I know you know how much he cares about you."
