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
I was shocked by his sudden proposal. Everyone knew that every alpha wanted to form an alliance with our pack. That was why some of them tried to get in touch with me. However, Alpha Leo's pack was already in the alliance. Then why did he ask for my hand?I slowly turned my head toward my brother to look at his reaction.I prayed in my head that he would not say anything stupid again. Last time, he almost fixed my marriage with Eric, and now this Alpha Leo.I wanted to decline it, so I spoke out."Alpha Leo, I-""I can't accept your offer, Alpha Leo," my brother interrupted me.I immediately looked at him. He glanced at me and gave me a nod. I felt relaxed.But the other men around us turned to us and began to overhear the conversation. Some of the Alphas gasped when they heard Jason reject the offer directly."But why?" Jason asked. I could feel a little anger in his voice."My sister does not want to get married right now. She still has some dreams to fulfill. She wants to live her
FOUR YEARS LATER ...Under the leadership of Alpha and Luna, the Crystal Pack had grown into a formidable pack. Everyone used to be afraid of Alpha Adrian, but after his Luna joined him, the fear doubled because they were the power couple in the werewolf world."Luna Natalia,"The maids bowed to the stunning woman as she walked glamorously through the corridors. She gave them nods as she passed them.Other Lunas were envious of her, finding it hard to believe a woman could possess such powerful abilities. She was an Alpha female and not only that, she was giant like her mate.It was as if they were both moon children, destined to be together forever.In the past few years, Natalia has experienced every stage of her life with her husband, and time has passed very slowly with each passing year. Her life had completely changed. Her opinions, her way of thinking, her way of talking, her etiquette, and many other things had changed. However, what did not change was her heart. She cared
After the crown ceremony,Natalia glanced at Grace, considering taking Adelia to the bedroom."Mom, you must be tired from holding her.""No, it's okay. Amanda was there with me all the time."Natalia moved her hand up. “She is asleep. You can—”Adrian came over to her and stopped her. "You can leave her to Mom. I am sure she can handle her. You look worn out anyway."Natalia was stunned. She shot him a look. Adrian shrugged his shoulders and walked up the stairs."Mom, don't listen to him."Grace shook her head and replied, "He is right. You were very busy throughout the day. Take a rest tonight. I will take care of Adelia."Natalia let out a sigh and agreed to her. She glanced at the sleeping baby and went to the bedroom.When she entered the bedroom, she found the whole room was empty.She shut the door and took off her crown. She carefully placed it inside the closet, next to the dagger.As she finished removing all of her jewelry, the bathroom door opened.She turned her head onl
A Few Months Later"I, Adrian Miller, Alpha King, declare Natalia Miller to be the Luna and Queen of my packs."Everyone applauded when Adrian placed the crown on Natalia's head.Natalia gave Adrian a smile. He wore a black robe embroidered with spells designed by the coven of the Black Haw pack. They sent it as a present to embrace their new head Alpha.Natalia lifted her white gown and descended from the stage, clutching Adrian's arm.It reminded her of her wedding day.Hazel and Jason came toward them and hugged each other."Where is John?" Natalia asked about their child.They pointed to Jade, who was holding their child, while Grace stood next to her, holding Natalia and Adrian's child, Adelia.The two women appeared to be the happiest women in the world today."Alpha Adrian, Luna Natalia,"They turned around after hearing a familiar voice.It was Alpha Wade. Beside him was Tyra, Eric's mate. During their conversation, Alpha Wade said,"I am planning to marry Tyra off soon."Nata
Days passed as the delivery date of Natalia's child was coming.Things had changed in Natalia's life in the last few months.Everyone was doting on her. The person who cared for her the most was her husband.Adrian always came home early to spend time with Natalia and his children. He said he wanted to give most of his time to Natalia during her pregnancy period.Natalia had noticed Adrian's growing impatience to see his baby in recent months. His face was always lit up with excitement.She used to have this dream when she was pregnant a few years ago.Adrian never allowed her to do any work. He was always curious about her preferences for food and activities. He even canceled his meetings whenever she felt sick. When she was down, he always surprised her with a gift to lift her spirits.He did not pass up any opportunity to spoil her. In fact, her own family claimed Adrian had spoiled her too much.She felt as if everything was a dream, and she wanted to stay in it forever."Adrian,
Everyone returned to the pack house.Natalia was lying in bed. The private doctor was checking on her."You are lucky the baby is fine," she said."Thank you, doctor. Please check on Hazel too," Natalia said to her.The doctor gave her a nod and then left the room.Natalia looked at the people who entered the room after the doctor left.Martin Hansley and Jade Hansley hugged their daughter. Meanwhile, Lucas Miller and Grace Miller lowered their heads.Natalia smiled at them, saying, "Mom, Dad."They looked at her with apologies."Forgive us, dear," Lucas said as he approached the bed.Grace hugged Natalia and said sorry to her for everything they had done in the past few days."It was not your fault. You all were influenced. I should be sorry for losing my temper and saying those rubbish things."They shook their heads and said they would never have a daughter-in-law like her. She was more like a daughter to them.“How is everyone?”“Doctor Max treated them. Benjamin was in critical c
Natalia was astounded by what she witnessed. Then she realized that the man was old Leighton's twin brother."Natalia"She heard her mother's voice. She turned her and found her and Adrian's parents. She noticed her mother-in-law also looked worried for her.She limped, trying to walk toward them.At that time a witch ran toward her, but a wolf came between and bit the witch's leg, slamming her to the ground.Natalia realized Eric was the one who saved her. She smiled at him. He gave her a nod before sprinting back toward Jason.Today, the three men in her life who once loved her are protecting her.Natalia realized that no matter how powerful you are, there will come a time when everyone needs each other.She went to her mother and hugged her. Her mother-in-law, Grace, shed tears as she also hugged her.Denis Leighton stepped toward Adrian and bowed to him."Alpha"Natalia was stunned to see the old man lowering his head toward Adrian.Adrian released Ansel's neck and took a step bac
Max was standing behind Natalia. He patted Natalia's shoulder and wrapped his arm around her. "Perfect shot."Adrian noticed how securely Max was holding Natalia. His eyes turned pale as he remembered Natalia's words.If she had been with Max, she would have been happy. Getting married to him again ruined her life.Adrian turned around and saw Ansel's arm. It was pierced by a digger rather than a simple knife.He recalled it and realized it was the dagger marked on the back of Natalia's neck. She was a healer who could kill anyone with her dagger, which was filled with her poisonous blood.He did not know about its ability toward the witches or wizards, but she had killed Doctor Harold with that knife. After that, she never touched it again."Thanks, Max," Natalia said to Max.When she called Max yesterday, he asked for help. She asked for the tonics that could help wolves and the dagger, which she used when she needed it. Max arrived at the right time to help her.The fire went out,
Everyone was staring at Adrian, who was mercilessly beating Rick. They could not believe that he had recalled everything.Natalia was surprised as well. Did that mean he remembered everything? Every moment in their lives that they had spent together?"No! No! No! Stop him!"Ansel yelled at her people. They rushed to Adrian, but he growled at them, which caused them to stop in their place, frozen.As the only one who dared to approach Adrian, the old Leighton's eyes turned glowing green.He raised his hand and chanted something, prompting Adrian to stop beating Rick.The old Leighton was giving Adrian mental pain. He grabbed his forehead and groaned angrily.The sound of his groan reverberated throughout the entire forest."Leave him. Don't hurt her," Natalia said to the old man.Jason and Patric told their men to attack the wizards and witches. Because their Alpha was present, they would have to choose between giving their lives or taking the lives of others.Natalia closed her eyes a
Natalia's tears, which she had been holding back until now, fell on her cheeks.Adrian's gaze locked on hers. They were dark but familiar to her. His jaw was clenched as if he were trying not to groan in pain.When his body moved, she came back to reality and gasped."Ad-Adrian! What are you—"Adrian pushed her head back, covering her gaze so she could not look at anything."Sshh"His thumb caressed her cheek while pressing her head against his bare chest as if he did not feel anything.Natalia could feel the heat of the flame whenever the whip touched his back."Don't... Don't hit him!"She exclaimed, crying, but Rick did not stop."Look, who has come to protect his wife? The man who can not shift, who can not protect himself, how can he protect his wife?"Rick's mocking made the witches and wizards laugh. Everyone was aware of Adrian's condition. He had become a puppet of Ansel.Rick continued to whip Adrian's back. As the flaming whip continued to strike him on his back, his skin b
