It was Adrian. I did not know that his wolf was black. He had red eyes and black fur, which I had read about in the book today. I stared into his eyes for a while. The size of his wolf was so enormous that no one would have the courage to approach him if he were to reveal his shape to them.He took a step toward me, which made me realize I had been looking at him for a long time.I looked away from him and turned around.“Let me shift. I want to meet my mate,” my wolf Nancy said to me. She only reacted to me whenever Adrian was close to me.I responded to her by silencing her inside of me and saying, "No. He will no longer be our mate.”As I started to walk, I heard a growl from behind.I turned my head and saw the wolf coming to me. I realized that it was Adrian's wolf, who wanted to come to me.I froze on my feet when he almost reached me. I raised my hand to stop him."Don't come close to me. I am not your mate. I mean, we will break the bond soon."It was my fault to say somethin
"Adrian, put me down."I have been yelling at this man for the past few minutes. But he was like a deaf person. He did not listen to me and kept walking in some direction I did not know.What bothered me the most was that he was walking very slowly, as if he were an old man."If you want to help me, then walk fast. My secretary is outside waiting for me, and she is an omega. I am afraid something will happen to her.""What about you? Aren't you an omega, too? Who gave you the audacity to come into the dark forest at night? What if something happens to you?" He scolded me.I frowned at him. "Excuse me? Who are you to scold me like this? Who gave you the right over me?"He looked down at me and asked,"Will you shut your mouth or..." he paused."Or what? What will you do?"He moved his gaze from my eyes to my lips, then continued, "Or I will shut them by my way."I averted my gaze from him. "Don't make me hurt you, Adrian. I can be a slow position for you.""Oh really? How will it be?"
My ankle, which had been wounded some time earlier, was the focus of my attention for a while. The wound healed so fast that I was unable to even give it a second look before it was completely healed."Boss?"I looked at Damia and smiled at her. "Get in the car. Let's go back to the hotel."She nodded at me and got in the car. After sitting next to me, she held my hand softly and said,"Boss, I was scared. I thought I could never get you back."I chuckled at her words. "Silly girl, it's just a forest; did you think it would eat me alive?"She shook her head. "No, but you were lost as a child. Your family got you back after so many years; if something had happened to you again, then..."I patted her hand. "I am totally fine. Don't worry."The driver started the car, and we returned to the hotel.When we were walking to the entrance hall, I saw Beta Patric there.He approached me with a little smile on his face. "Hello, Natalia."I gave him a nod with a confused look. "Why are you here,
The moment I stepped into my pack, I felt the breeze blowing in my face, which instantly lifted my spirits and made me feel a bit better.What a relief it was to be back home. At the airport, I noticed that my driver was waiting for me there. I walked to my car along with Damia as my driver held my and Damia's luggage.I reached the pack house late in the evening after dropping Damia off at home.The moment I entered the pack house, I was greeted by the sight of my twins running in my direction.I knelt down and warmed myself by pulling me into my embrace."Mommy.""My babies."When I looked over, I saw Jason and Eric smiling at us. I pulled away from the hug and walked to my brother. I hugged him and asked,"Brother, is everything okay?""Yes, my lil baby. Why did you think something was wrong?"I looked at him and said, "You called Eric here, so I thought...""Everything is alright. I think he is not your assistant, but the beta of this pack. Sometimes, his Alpha can need him, too."
It had been two weeks since I returned from the Storm Forest Pack. I went back to work. I started to raise my hopes again. One defeat did not have the power to bring me down; I was not a loser.My brother had just made an announcement to inform all of the packs that the Blue Blood Pack would be forming an alliance with the upcoming contract. Because every pack was able to satisfactorily meet our demand, we extended an invitation to them to join our pack.This news traveled across all of the packs, and the head Alpha of each pack expressed interest in forming a partnership with us.According to Jason, he took care of it since he was the head Alpha of this pack. This would be a meeting among the head Alphas of all the packs, and it would have nothing to do with carrying out business.There was no way for me to know what was going through Jason's head. He did not talk to me about it before he announced that. When I asked him about it in reply to my inquiry, he did not discuss it and stat
Doctor Max! Take a seat with us, please." Damia uttered it with a courteous smile on her face."And you are?”"Hello, I'm Damia, Miss Natalia's personal secretary.""Oh, nice to meet you," Doctor Max said, looking at the other four men who stared at him."You came with..." he muttered while looking at me after a brief pause."They are the board of directors of our company," Damia explained to him.One by one, those men shook hands with Max."Please, sit with us."They pulled a chair for him next to me. Max sat on the chair and apologized,"I'm sorry if I interrupted you all.""I disagree, Doctor Max. It's a stroke of good fortune that we get to meet you. It's my birthday, by the way," Mr. Hendrix said. Being a bachelor, he was about to tie the knot with his girlfriend in the near future."Happy Birthday.""Thank you so much.""I don't have anything with me right now to give you.""That doesn't matter. Your presence is a great present for me."Max chuckled and gave him a nod. "But it w
When I opened my eyes, I felt sun rays falling on my face, making it impossible for me to look anywhere or let me sleep more.I lifted my pillow up and placed it on my face to give my face relief from the sunlight.However, I could not sleep any longer because someone came and knocked on my door to wake me up."Young Miss."I heard one of my maids' voices. I whizzed by just hearing her voice. It felt like a noise in my head."Leave. I will wake up later," I mumbled under the pillow."Young Miss, Alpha is calling you. You need to wake up."I did not move for a while. I was on the verge of returning to the dreamland, but someone knocked on the door and prevented me from doing so.I threw the pillow and sat up in anger."What?" I yelled in a hoarse voice.Immediately after I let out a yell, I felt a pain in my throat. I found my head hurting like hell."Come in." I tried to say it out loud so that the maid could hear me from outside the door.After getting my permission, the maid entered
Adrian entered the pack house with his officials. I got to my feet in shock. But Jason appeared to be unruffled, as if he were aware that Adrian was going to show up here. He also got up from the couch.I stared at Adrian, who walked toward us like a king with his four guards.I was familiar with Beta Patric. At the same time, I was also familiar with Delta Julian because he had picked me up from the hotel and brought me to the pack house while I was in the Crystal Blood pack to help Adrian's father with the cure.I had no prior knowledge of the other two males who were standing behind Adrian. They were the Theta and the Gamma of the Crystal Blood Pack."Alpha Adrian, welcome to the Blue Blood Pack once again," my brother said to him as they shook hands.I was dumbfounded. After casting a quick peek at their hands, I promptly shifted my attention to my brother.What had happened to him? Why was he talking so politely to Adrian?I was standing there like a stupid lady who had no idea w
Taking a deep breath, Hazel knew she had to tell them everything."That witch's powers were imprisoned with ash in a jar, and the door had been locked for years. My sister-in-law, Ansel, is the coven's second highest-ranking witch after that woman. So, all these years, Ansel tried her hardest to break the door and free the powers so that she could take over them.So when Natalia broke the door, the powers were freed, and Ansel possessed them all. Now she is the most powerful witch."Natalia recalled what had happened in that room. She had assumed she would die, but she did not.Hazel stepped toward Natalia and said,"Sister, I am sorry for what happened to you. But I had nothing in my hands. I was not alone. My child was with me. So I had to follow whatever they told me. The only thing I could do was not open the door. Before you opened it, I used to tell them that I had not found the door."Natalia's eyes lowered as she noticed Hazel caressing her own stomach.Natalia's eyes blurred
Natalia was shocked as her eyes widened. She heard something she could not believe."Y-Your child? H-How?" she mumbled.She felt as though the sky had fallen on her. She was not in a state to feel anything. She was confused and puzzled.Jason sighed and looked at her.“I met her in her pack. There was never anything between her and Adrian. The child is mine, and I spent a night with her a few months ago."Natalia shook her head. Her hand slipped away from Jason's hand."That's not possible. She manipulated you, brother. You have never talked about her. And why did she lie when the child is not Adrian's? Why is he even trying to protect her? He himself admitted that that child is his."Hazel looked at Natalia and stepped toward her. Natalia raised a hand, stopping her from approaching her. "Don't. You can manipulate everyone but me. I didn't forget how you warned me to leave Adrian's life."Hazel clenched her jaw and said angrily, "I also warned you about that door. Why did you break i
Natalia was in disbelief. "Do you think I am a fool? You can not just show up and make a fool of me. At first, your Alpha said that Hazel is nothing to him, then he let her stay in the pack house. Later, he claimed that the child she was carrying was not his, and I believed him again. But what about now?"Her questions pierced like daggers toward Patric. He lowered his head in defeat. "I know you have to tolerate a lot.""Tolerate a lot? All of my life, I have been only suffering for your Alpha. He said he wants me to leave this pack."Natalia could not stop herself from telling Patric everything that hurt her heart."He smashed my love in front of my brother. He told him to take me away with him. Can you imagine how well I controlled myself at that time?"She leaned back against her chair, closing her eyes and shaking her head. "It is all because of my children. I am bearing everything just for them."Patric took a deep breath and said, "I came back yesterday. I have collected all of
Natalia was shocked when his lips touched hers.She tried to push him. But Adrian did not let her go.He felt sharp pain in his head as if something was exploding inside. His hands wrapped around her waist, pressing his body against hers.As though he had been longing for it, his rough kiss turned desperate.Natalia became so enraged that she shoved him with her wolf strength.He retrieved a few steps back. Natalia growled at him."How dare you do that?"His brows shot up as if he was confused by his own action. His gaze roamed around the floor until they lifted up to look at her.As if his eyes could change colors, they turned dark brown, and suddenly they flashed red for a moment.She recalled that before the accident he looked like that."Get out of this room right now," she said, glaring at him. She did not want to see him.He did not move as he stared at her with a pair of lost eyes.When she saw he was not moving, she opened the door and walked out of the room.There was no way
Natalia's eyes were on the door. She had seen Hazel leaving the house. For some reason, she guessed who she went after.'What is her relationship with my brother?' she thought."Miss Natalia"She looked away from the door and turned to Alpha Jonas. She smiled at him.This noon, when Adrian sent the necklace to her, she was surprised at first but scoffed after learning his words from Damia.She knew this man could never care for her. He was a devil in disguise who was showing his true colors with passing time.So when Alpha Jonas called her today to ask what she would like to have, she told him that she desired a necklace. She wanted to wear it in front of Adrian to mock him."The more I see you, the more I feel like I have never seen this much beauty," he remarked with a chuckle.Natalia grinned at him and said, "Alpha Jonas is flirting with me. Does his girlfriend know about it?"In a blink of a second, all the color washed away from his face.Natalia noticed this, lifted her hand, a
Adrian tried to think why did Jason make an alliance with them in the first place. What exactly did he want?He was able to see the expressions of shock plastered across the faces of all of the Leightons. They were not expecting this. To them, it was like a blow to the head.Adrian assumed that Jason did that because Natalia wanted it. But Natalia's eyes were hazel all the time. Her eyes kept observing her when her brother was talking to her.Ansel's anger caused his fingers to become more firmly gripped on the jewelry boxes. The old Leighton looked mad at Jason while Rick appeared to be fierce."You will pay for it, Alpha Jason," Ansel said, leaving the room.Her husband and the old Leighton followed her behind as if she were the main member of the family.Jason rolled his eyes. He turned his head to Adrian and said,"You will be next to face something like this."It was a warning.Adrian did not like it when he said that in front of other businessmen.Jason gave Natalia a small smil
Adrian's eyes darkened when Natalia smiled with her red lips and looked in another direction.Adrian's gaze shifted on the way and found Alpha Jonas grinning at Natalia."A beautiful necklace for a precious woman. I have always admired her when she was the CEO of her father's company. She is a pure beauty. It's bad luck that she decided to stay here. But if you want to come with me, I will not take any mistress for my whole life."Adrian glared at the man as he found his words mocking toward him.Jason scoffed at Jonas and said, "She is a stubborn woman. She doesn't listen to anyone. Otherwise, Alpha Adrian is ready to leave her. Isn't it Alpha Adrian?"Jason's gaze met Adrian's like a clash colliding.Hazel was about to say something, but Ansel shook her head at her.Natalia walked toward her brother and let out a chuckle. "Let's focus on the birthday girl. Looks like I took all the limelight away from her."Hazel stared at Natalia. There were some untold words that were conveyed thr
Adrian left the company, neglecting the idea of having lunch with Patric.He got inside the car and told his driver to drive to a restaurant.He was on his way back to the company after lunch when he received a message from Ansel informing him that tonight was Hazel's birthday and that he should give her a present.Adrian's car stopped in front of a jewelry shop. He went inside the shop and told the staff to pack something that would look good on a young woman.A female employee approached him and showed him a few designs. Adrian was not interested in choosing, but his eyes fell on a beautiful necklace.He did not know why, but looking at the necklace, his mind reflected Natalia's face."Pack this one."The female employee smiled at him and packed the necklace. When she was about to hand it to him, he said,"I told you to pick one."The woman was stunned. "Oh, you want another one?"She thought he was going to buy only one necklace. The woman picked the best design and showed it to Ad
When the elevator door opened and they arrived at the first floor, Adrian gave him a stern look and was ready to reprimand him.Adrian exited the elevator first, and Patric followed, intending to go check on Adrian's condition with the pack doctor.At that time, they ran into Benjamin.Adrian took a halt when Benjamin bowed to him.With a pair of cold eyes, Adrian said to him,"I warned you to stay away from that woman. She is not good for our pack."Benjamin lowered his head before glancing at Patric. Patric was staring at him. He exhaled and returned his gaze to Adrian."Alpha, she is my Luna. It is my responsibility to protect her when everyone is against her."Adrian tightened his fists while glaring at Benjamin. Meanwhile, Patric focused his gaze on Adrian. "Didn't you say you don't like her? Why do you care if Benjamin roams around her? You want her to leave this pack anyway."Gamma Benjamin was shocked. He shook his head as he realized Adrian had misunderstood his pure intentio
