Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth

Chapter 0501 Hannah

The next morning, I woke with a flutter in my stomach that had nothing to do with morning sickness. Sunlight filtered softly through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. I blinked up at the ceiling, letting that first realization sink in. It was the day of our wedding.

In less than a few hours, I would be walking down the aisle, marrying Noah-again. I closed my eyes, taking in the quiet of the room, the anticipation humming under my skin. This time, everything was different.

The stillness didn't last long, however. Not even thirty minutes after I had gotten up, Viona, Amber, and Emma showed up, bursting into the room like a trio of tornadoes. Each of them was carrying something-a bag, a bouquet, a tray with coffee and pastries and before I could say a word, they had swept me into their morning chaos.

"Alright," Amber said, not even bothering to address the fact that I hadn't seen her in months and here she was, "let's get you ready. Today is all about making you radiant bride anyone's ever seen.

Emma held up the garment bag with my dress, smiling at me. "Are you ready?"

I laughed, still reeling from their sudden appearance. "Yes, I think so," I replied.

They led me to a chair in front of the vanity, settling me up like some kind of queen. It was funny, watching them flit around me, each one focused on their own tasks with single-minded devotion.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Emma carefully laid out my makeup on the table, Viona pulled out her curling irons, and Amber arranged the bouquet on the bed beside Melody's tiny flower girl dress, taking the utmost care to make sure every petal was positioned perfectly while she chattered away about her experience overseas.

"So I told that doctor, 'If you're not looking to put a ring on my finger, then you can keep

your

dick in your pants'...'

"Amber!" Emma chided, covering Melody's ears.

Amber just grinned impishly. "What? She doesn't understand what I'm saying..."

Melody was propped up beside me, already dressed in her little flower crown and white satin dress, her chubby legs kicking happily as she watched all the commotion. Every so often, she would clap her hands, laughing like she was in on all of it. Sometimes, I wondered if she really did understand every single word.

"Alright, let's start with the hair," Viona said, picking up a section of my hair and running her fingers through it thoughtfully.

I watched her in the mirror, seeing her reflection smile back at me as she began curling the ends of my hair, giving it a gentle wave. Each curl fell like a soft ribbon, framing my face, and Viona would pause every so often, stepping back to inspect her work and nodding in satisfaction. Emma handed me a cup of tea and a decadent pastry. "How are you feeling, Hannah? Nervous?"

I took a deep breath and smiled, trying not to move for fear of pissing off Viona in the midst of her work. "I feel... happy," I said softly "It feels like a second chance. A second chance at happiness."

Viona's eyes softened as she looked at me in the mirror. Only she and Noah knew about the rebirth still, and I wasn't sure if I ever intended to tell anyone else. It felt so long ago now. "You deserve every bit of happiness, Hannah," she said. "Noah's one lucky man. "He's more than lucky," Emma chimed in, setting out the last of my makeup with a grin. And don't you forget it." They all laughed, and I felt a warmth bloom in my chest, knowing I had friends like them women who had been there through thick and thin, who saw me for who I was, who loved

Once Viona was finished with my hair, Emma moved in, dusting a light layer of powder over my face, brushing on just a hint of color, blending it softly until my features felt highlighted but not overwhelmed. She kept pausing, leaning back to inspect her work, her face a picture of concentration.
