"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
Adrian turned around and started to come toward the door. I looked around and tried to find a place to hide. I found a pillar close to me. I rushed toward it and hid behind it.I peeked out and saw Adrian's officials walking out of the meeting hall with angry faces. They did not notice me and walked past the pillar. When I saw Adrian coming out after them, I shut my eyes and stood behind it.'Wait a minute! Why am I even hiding?' I asked myself.Was it because I told Beta Patric a while ago that my brother would not humiliate anyone and make a decision fairly? But he had done the opposite.My eyes widened when I felt someone grab my hand and pull me out from behind the pillar.I almost gasped when I saw it was Adrian.He started to drag me in another direction. I frowned at him but did not yell out at him. I was afraid that I would destroy my brother's reputation.Adrian brought me to another corner, a little far from the meeting hall."What are yo–"He shoved me against the wall and
My fists were shaking while grabbing his collar. My anger was so intense that I felt the desire to kill the man standing in front of me.But I controlled myself and let go of him."Just shut your mouth."He didn't stop and threw a bunch of questions at me."What gave your brother the audacity to talk about my health? What did he think? His sister got impregnated by someone else, not because of her shamelessness but because of my inability?"With a fury face, he yearned for the answers.I had no answer to his questions. My brother had provoked him by talking about this."I will snatch everything from you and your brother. I will make your family get on their feet in front of me. Remember my words, Natalia Hansley.""Leave my pack and never come back here again. My pack doesn't need you.""I'm leaving your pack this time. But I will not let your brother go. The man who insulted me in front of other Alphas deserves to die in my hands."I was shocked by his words. I roared at him."Don't
"Young Miss, Alpha is calling you for dinner."I heard my maid's voice coming inside as she stood outside my room while knocking on my door."I don't want to," I replied to her without opening the door."I am afraid that Aria and Noah would not eat if you refused to eat something."I let out a sigh and then proceeded to open the door. When the maid turned her head to the door and saw me open it unexpectedly, she took a step back."Where are they?""In the dining room with Alpha."I gave her a nod and made my way to the dining room.After entering the dining room, I noticed that my twins were already eating when I spotted them sitting with their uncle."That maid lied to me," I muttered under my breath."She didn't lie. I sent her to you," Jason said to me as his eyes fell on me.I walked toward the table and sat close to his chair. Aria and Noah fixed their gazes on me."Mommy, are you in a bad mood?" Noah asked me.I shook my head briefly before beginning to eat. At that moment, I wa
"No, this can't be possible," the man shouted out in disagreement.The other man was frozen while staring at my reflection. While I was looking at the water, I was able to see the expressions on their faces."You are a witch, aren't you? This is all an illusion! You are fooling us to save yourself." The man kept mumbling, though his knees were shaking.The other man took a step back slowly, as if he had to use much strength to move his legs."She is an Alpha!" he spoke out in fear.The man who was disagreeing with the fact started shaking his head. "She can be an alpha female, but that wolf! That's impossible! How can that wolf with blue eyes even exist?"A grin formed on my lips as they curled in the left corner. I was enjoying the fear they were experiencing right now.I turned my head and smirked at them,"Done muttering nonsense?"Both of their eyes widened as though they were seeing a ghost.They were frightened by just looking into my eyes. They turned blue. Not any ocean blue l
The next day, I got late to get ready for the party. As I returned to the pack house early in the morning, I fell asleep for quite a few hours.I was damn sure that my brother would start to think that his sister had become lazy.Well, it would be best if he took over my position in the pack company and freed me from this huge responsibility. It was getting harder for me to handle it.The reason was only because of Adrian Miller.I could not just forget his words and actions that he had said and done to me. Whenever the kiss came to mind, I kept balling my finger into my fists.Despite the anxiety inside me, I wore the dress that my brother sent me to wear to the party.After applying makeup and putting on a pair of high heels, I left my room and proceeded to my children's room.When I reached there, I noticed them paying attention to their studies. I smiled at them while standing at the door.They were the reason I was alive. By just looking at them, I could spend my whole life alone
The statements made by Alpha Leo stunned me. For what purpose did he say that?When another Alpha came to approach him to offer his congratulations, he turned around to face that man."It was your project from the beginning, Alpha Leo. We all knew Alpha Jason would give this project to his friend," that alpha said to Leo."Of course," Leo replied.Because I was standing behind them, I was able to overhear them. With the intention of remaining by myself, I made a left turn and then proceeded to the opposite side.Right now, I was not in the mood to listen to anything, so I paid no attention to it. By the way, the party was not hosted by my company, where I would have to meet other CEOs. Only head Alphas had come to attend the party. Despite the fact that I was familiar with the majority of them, I did not want to go and talk to them.I went to sit down on a couch and then started to use my phone. Several pieces of news caught my attention.As I scrolled through the timeline, I came acr
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
