Natalia's POVAt long last, the day of the party that the werewolf council had been planning had arrived.I was experiencing a great deal of anxiety on the inside. During these five years, I attended quite a few parties; nevertheless, most of them were held within my own pack, which was the Blue Blood pack.Here, we had to face so many new people, one of whom I did not wish to see again."Shall we enter, my lady?"I turned my head to my right side to see Eric. As he approached me, he extended his arm. In response, I nodded my head and placed my hand on top of his. We entered the party hall while holding each other's hands.The various powers that were present in the hall, as well as the decoration that was inside the hall, left me in a state of awe.It appeared as though a large number of head Alpha and Luna had arrived to take part in the party.And why not? It was not just a party but a conference of werewolf council.I held Eric's hand tightly and let out a long, deep breath.'I can
Adrian's POVFor five years, I had been searching for Natalia, but I had never heard from her.I had no idea where she was. No one found any traces of her or the direction she took in the forest when she left this pack."Adrian"I heard a voice calling out to me with a soft tone.I emerged from my thoughts and turned my attention to the person who was standing at the door of my office room.She walked in with an innocent grin on her face.“Lynda,” I uttered and rubbed my forehead.She had been with me for the past five years. Three years ago, when my father made me the head Alpha of this pack, she wanted to be my Luna. For the simple reason that I was not yet prepared to make someone my Luna, I did not make any promises to her. So I had not announced Lynda as my pack's Luna either.Nevertheless, she accepted my decision and conveyed to me that she was not with me out of greed; she only desired to be with me.She was a really good woman. Maybe too good for me."Adrian, I heard you are
Adrian's POVI was able to observe her eyes widening, which was a sign that she was also experiencing the mate bond.I could not believe that she was my mate!She had a wolf!It came as a greater surprise to me too.During the time that I was attempting to gather my thoughts, the scent of strawberry reached my nostrils. It was her scent.My mate's scent!In a state of bewilderment, I asked my wolf, "Is she my mate?"Nevertheless, the only thing he did in response to me was to pressure me to give him control.I ignored him and shut him inside. I switched my attention to Natalia, who was staring at me with astonishment on her face.Is she pleased that she was able to get me back at last? Without a doubt, she was overjoyed.Did she come here to grab my attention?Is it possible that she entered this place using my name? If that were not the case, who would allow her to access such a significant event?My head was filled with a tremendous number of questions.Even if she used my name, I d
Natalia's POVMy fate shocked me. How could he possibly be my mate? It would be impossible for me to be with the man who had broken me in the past.He did not forget about the night. He continued to hold me responsible for that night. His remarks were cruel, and they hurt my heart. I was surprised that his words continued to have an impact on me.As I worked to keep them under control, tears began to form in the periphery of my eyes."You're still so rude; you haven't changed a bit." I said while staring at him.The hold that Adrian had on me loosened. He released his grip on my arms."This is the last time I'm going to explain; believe it or not, I was not the one who drugged you that night."He scoffed at me as if I were lying to him. I felt that this man could get more power for himself, but he would never change.He was still the same Adrian Miller that I had left behind five years ago.I attempted to turn around and leave, but his words prevented me from doing so."What about thi
I turned around and saw Adrian. It was Lynda who was standing next to him.My attention was drawn to Lynda's hand, which was encircling Adrian's arm on the other side.Almost instantly, I turned my gaze away from them.When I switched my attention back to Alpha Lucas, I responded by saying,"Since your son has already committed, he must be very happy."I overheard Adrain saying,"No." It came out as a whisper.It left me feeling confused. On the other hand, I shrugged my shoulders, and I asked Alpha Lucas,"How is Luna?” "She is not Luna anymore. Soon, someone else will seize the position." During his response, Alpha Lucas looked Lynda in the side eye.The fact that he did not like Lynda was obvious to me. I had nothing to do with it in any way."Grace had a fever, so she could not attend the event." Alpha Lucas said about Adrian's mother."I hope she'll be fine soon.""She misses you a lot. Why don't you come to the Crystal Blood Pack to meet her?" Alpha Lucas proposed.I shook my he
When I had just returned to the hotel, I was surprised to find a text message waiting for me from an unknown number."I heard you went to attend the event. Come back to the Crystal Blood Pack. I, along with your mother, will be waiting for you."It did not take much time for me to understand who sent the message.It turned out to be Jeremy Pierce, my foster father.I asked in reply,"How did you get my number?""You forgot who I am. Getting your number is not a big deal for me, Natalia. Now stop asking me questions and return to your home."I stared at the message. I scoffed at it.'Home? What does he mean by my home? He adopted me, yet he never showed me the affection that a parent would.' I thought.I assumed that he might have obtained my phone number from the attendee lists for today's party. With the intention of ensuring everyone's safety, everyone signed their name and number before entering."I will never go back there. Forget about me."I sent it back and threw my phone on the
Third POVAdrian couldn't stop himself when he heard Natalia saying that she was with someone else. His mind went crazy at the thought of her being with another man.In an instant, his lips forcefully collided with her, igniting a passionate and electrifying connection that sent shockwaves throughout her entire being.He kissed her roughly, showing his anger to her.When his lips touched hers, he began to feel at ease.It seemed as if he had just wanted her, and this was the one thing that he was missing in his life.This kiss, this closeness, this woman!He wanted to wrap his arms around her delicate waist and kiss her passionately.Natalia, on the other hand, was at first taken aback, and when she came back to her senses, she became enraged.She pushed him hard, which made him break the kiss.A disgusted look appeared on Natalia's face, and she gave him a tight slap on his face.Her slap stunned Adrain, and he retreated back. No one had ever dared to slap him before. He only gave the
"Feelings for him?" Natalia whispered to herself.Did she still have feelings for him?The answer was clear to her.The memories of the past floated back to her mind as tears scrambled in the corner of her eyes.FLASHBACK..."Natalia, do you still love that man?" The Luna of the Blue Blood Pack, Jade Hansley, asked.It had been eight months since Natalia returned to this pack.Jade had been observing her daughter for a long time. Natalia looked very depressed and pale.When she and her husband, Alpha Martin Hansley, got back their daughter eight months ago, they were really happy. Even though her name was Jessica, they started calling her 'Natalia' because that is what she preferred.They wanted nothing but a smile on Natalia's face. They tried to give her the lavish life she deserved, which she had been missing all these years.Natalia, on the other hand, never forgot her past. Every night, she cried alone in her room. It was not unaware of anyone."No, Mom," Natalia replied with
Jason's eyes were filled with rage, which caused him to growl so loudly that Grace Miller was forced to cover her ears. After all among the four werewolves, she was the only person who was not an Alpha. Hazel was the exception, she was a witch.He turned around and looked directly at Hazel. She was trying to avoid his gaze."Are you pregnant with his child?"He asked her the question because he did not believe in it. Hearing about the mistress seemed less shocking than hearing this news.His teeth clenched as he stared at Hazel.Hazel stepped aside, appearing frightened, and stood behind Adrian. But there was no mercy in Jason's eyes. His eyes followed her every step. He noticed that she was firmly gripping Adrian's suit sleeve."Stop scaring her. She is pregnant. I don't want my unborn child hurt by anything."Natalia jerked up when she heard Adrian's words. She clutched her dress around her stomach with her hand.'His unborn child? Isn't his unborn child in my womb? Why is he acknow
As if the sky had fallen over Natalia, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. The shock caused her eyes to widen.What was he saying?She tried to comprehend what she was experiencing on the inside by blinking her eyes back and forth. It was almost impossible to bear the pain of the heartache."What are you saying?" she mumbled.Jason was just as surprised as everyone else when he heard Adrian.But the next moment he rushed up to Adrian and punched his cheek.“You fucker! Do you have any idea what you are saying?” Jason let out a roar.The punch caused Adrian's face to turn. A gush of blood started to come out of the left corner of his lips. He touched his lips with his thumb and looked at it.His eyes turned brown for a moment, which Jason did not notice. Because he was so enraged, he had every intention of punching him once more.“Adrian!”Grace Miller screamed in fear when Jason was about to punch her son again.However, Adrian grabbed his wrist and glared at him."Don't forget you ar
Everyone turned their heads to see Adrian in the left corner."Dad"Aria and Noah mumbled. Adrian looked at them. When Adrian's eyes met theirs, they hid behind Jason."Go back to your room," Adrian said to them.They let go of Jason and dashed up the stairs to obey his command.Natalia was so focused on him that she missed her children's expressions. He was dressed in a gray suit. A bandage was wrapped around his forehead. He looked good with his bangs falling on his forehead and hiding the bandage.He rarely covered his forehead with hair. This was a new look that suited him perfectly.Nevertheless, Natalia could not ignore his words over his looks. She was worried for him; at the same time, she was perplexed.The accident injured him. Her gaze moved to his hands. She could see that his right sleeves were slightly bulged in the arm area. She was certain there was a bandage. His fingers looked fine, but there were a few scratches."What do you mean she is going to stay here forever?"
Hazel's green eyes, which glowed for a brief moment, left Natalia bewildered as she observed them. She then turned to her brother, who appeared to be in a state of shock upon seeing Hazel.After rising from the couch, Natalia turned her attention to her brother."Brother, do you know her?"Jason's eyes were fixed on Hazel. His lips parted as if he was going to reply.At that moment, Hazel cleared her throat and looked away from Jason."N-No. We don't know each other."There was a frown on Natalia's face. Why did she reply? Did she ask her or her brother?Jason's finger turned into a fist, moving down to his side. His confused-looking face turned calm as he muttered,"Isn't she the princess of the Black Hawk Pack?"Hazel's gaze returned to him. They looked at each other. Natalia's confusion got even worse. Nevertheless, she recalled that her brother had been providing support for Hazel's pack for some time, which made it possible that he was familiar with Hazel."S-She..."Grace Miller
The blush spread across Natalia's face as she nodded her head. "Yeah, brother."The confirmation of the news caused Jason's eyes to sparkle. His hand reached into his pocket, and he took out his phone."What are you doing?""I am calling Mom and Dad. They will be very pleased."She quickly shook her head and said,"Don't."Jason frowned at her and removed his phone from his ear. "But why?"She lowered her head, rubbing her palm with her fingers. She was entirely at a loss for words when it came to explaining anything to her brother."Adrian doesn't know about it yet."It seemed as though Jason was taken aback. "What?""Yes, brother."“But he should have known before anyone else. He is your mate. He can sense that.”Natalia had no idea why Adrian did not know this by himself. She was in a daze. Her brother gently patted her on the shoulder."It's okay. Tell him today. Let's go to the pack house to let others know."Natalia thought silently for a long time. In the end, she came to the c
Natalia turned her head only to see her brother rushing over her."Natalia! What happened to you!"Natalia put the phone on the bed, not getting the chance to talk to her children. She tried to sit up. Jason held her waist, helping her to sit properly. He put a pillow behind her, and she rested her back on it.After taking a look at the brother and sister, Benjamin then said,"I am going out for a while."Although Natalia gave a slight nod, Jason frowned and turned his attention to him.“Where the fuck is the Miller family? My sister is in the hospital bed. Why is it that none of them are here?”Benjamin lowered his head and replied,"They are quite busy today. Tonight, there will be a few guests coming to pay a visit to the pack.”Natalia was confused upon hearing him. "Guests? Who?"Benjamin glanced at Natalia and then shifted his gaze to Jason. The expression on Natalia's face changed as Benjamin's mind connected with her and said,"Let's talk about it later."Natalia came to the c
"He is what?" Natalia asked.She could wait a thousand years to find out where her husband is. She needed to meet him, she wanted to see him. She wanted to know if he was alright. She kept trying to get through the door with her exhausted body."He is fine, Luna."Natalia paused her movements and turned to look at Benjamin.She looked at him carefully to see if he was telling the truth or just keeping her calm. His eyes were clear, indicating that he was not lying."Where is he?" she inquired."He left the hospital about an hour ago."Natalia was stunned. She blinked, trying to remember whether what she had seen in the car was real or an illusion."Was he okay? How were his wounds?""He got a wound on his head. But aside from that, he is fine."Natalia did not ask why Adrian had not come to see her or waited for her to wake up.Benjamin helped her in reaching the bed by holding her hand and guiding her forward. He sat her down and poured a glass of water.After handing the glass to he
The fear that she felt was the same fear that she had felt when she returned to this pack a year ago. It was Lynda who made up that car accident. The person who saved her from that accident was Adrian. She remembered how he put his own life in danger to save her.Then how could he not be able to control himself at this moment and drive the car in such a way that resulted in an accident?Fearing that she would die, she closed her eyes. In the middle of the street, the car was whirling around. Her body pressed against the door and her head began to spin around.On the other hand, everything came to a halt in an instant as her body jerked on the seat.She heard a loud noise in her head, like a siren ringing around the walls of her mind.The car hit on something and Natalia felt that she would fall from the car.After what seemed like an eternity, Natalia tried to feel any pain. Her hand was clutching her stomach.She opened her eyes to check if she was still alive.She blinked, but every
She noticed him get into the driver's seat. "Are we going somewhere? We have to go to the pack house. We have to get there before him," she said, glancing at his brown eyes.He listened to her but did not respond.He appeared to be in a rage.After shifting gears, he slammed on the accelerator and started the car.The car got out of the area of his house in a few seconds.Natalia’s heartbeat started to race as she watched how fast the landscape moved before her eyes.“Drive slowly,” she uttered.He paid no attention to what she had to say and continued driving in the opposite direction.She frowned when she noticed it and said,“That's not the way of going to the pack house. Where are you going?”He drove the car while remaining silent. A furrow appeared to form between his brows as if he was becoming irritated by her question.She shut her mouth and decided to silently watch him driving the car. She was eager to find out where he was going to take her.It was his clean forehead that
