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
The atmosphere turned colder. The response from my brother took me by surprise. When a head Alpha expressed a desire to stay in the pack house, it was impolite to respond with a clear refusal.I bet no one had ever rejected an alpha in such a manner before. In fact, I had never before witnessed my brother demonstrate disdain toward any Alpha.However, this man was not only an Alpha of another pack but also the man who once treated the sister of this pack's Alpha badly.It is difficult to comprehend how Adrian could be able to forget about the past and act as if he had never done anything wrong.What gave him the idea that Jason would take everything into consideration and give him the alliance? Was he even real?"How can you talk to Alpha like tha-"Adrian raised his hand to stop his Gamma from speaking out in rage at Jason. His gamma appeared to be infuriated since he was unable to tolerate it when he witnessed another alpha showing disrespect to his alpha.Adrian looked at Jason whi
Adrian's POVAs I held my gaze fixed on the young child, I noticed that his eyes were filled with animosity toward me.It was supposed to be me who looked at him like that. He was someone else's blood. A fruit of a one-night stand. What makes this little boy have so much strength to give me this look?I shifted my gaze to Natalia. Did she tell her son something about me? Did she brainwash the child's mind?However, my assumption turned wrong when she rushed to her son and scolded him."Noah, don't talk like that. He is our guest.""Mommy, I don't like this man."I glared at Noah. I scoffed when I saw his mother hiding him behind her. But he peeked his head to look at me."Uncle."I felt a swarm of little fingers wrapping themselves around my finger. I lowered my head and saw Aria.I was hesitant to look at her. I was completely mistaken when I believed that she was my blood.I recalled how I spent that day with this child while thinking that she was my own daughter."Aria, go back to
I turned around to look at him. Just thinking about the meaning of what the boy wanted to say caused a frown to form on my face."What did you just say?"He stared at me for a while without replying. It was impossible for me to comprehend the thoughts that were going through this young boy's mind. Why was he appearing to be so unwelcome toward me? Was he aware of the fact that his mother was my ex-wife?Just as I was about to ask him a question about it, he abruptly turned around and rushed in the direction Natalia had gone with Aria.I sighed as I had no idea what was going on."Alpha."I heard my delta's voice. I turned to the door once again and spotted him standing there."Let's go."Leaving the pack house without giving it a second glance, I went out of it.As soon as I stepped outside, my bodyguards hurried over to me and opened the door to my car for me. I sat in the back seat and ordered my driver to go to the hotel where I had stayed last time when I came here.I turned my he
"Miss Natalia."I heard a voice passing behind me, heading in the direction of the stairs.I turned my head and spotted Alpha Leo. He was the head Alpha of the Moon Stone Pack.A frown appeared on my face as I watched him extend his hand toward Natalia, who was stepping down on the floor. Without any delay, she held his hand and smiled at him politely."Alpha Leo, how are you?" Natalia asked.She did not talk to me so politely. Why was she so cold with me and soft with everyone else?"Because you treated her badly when she was with you," my wolf said inside me.I ignored his remarks and stared at the woman, who exchanged glances with everyone with nods.Everyone was looking at her with admiring eyes. I was stunned when I saw that Patric also went to shake his hand with her.When I looked to my right and left, I saw everyone had already left toward the meeting hall. I was the only one who was staring at the woman."We don't mean any mess. Adrian wants the alliance because he wishes to
Natalia's POVWhen Beta Patric talked to me about the alliance, I was stunned. What were the possibilities for them to approach our pack? Why were they so eager about it?In my opinion, Adrian should have left yesterday when my brother treated Adrian with disdain and did not permit him to remain in the pack house.I thought he would have left, but why was he still here? What was his motive?That was why I waited for a while before heading to the meeting hall after they had already gone there.The guards could not stop me from going to that area since I was their head Alpha's sister.However, I did not enter the hall but rather simply stood outside.I overheard the conversations.When I listened to Patric's explanations, I could not deny to myself that I was impressed. I had never heard of this type of proposal before.On the other hand, when an alpha inquired about the war, Adrian responded by saying that he would personally come to offer assistance.I was shocked. Was he even real?I
