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
I was stunned. More than shock, I was upset. I did not want our friendship to turn out like this. I would have been happier if he had come to tell me about someone else who he liked but not me.The pair of desperate eyes were focused on me. I could hear how his heart was beating faster as he waited for my answer.How would I reject him on his face? I did not want him to be heartbroken."From when?" I asked, trying to compose myself.He lowered his head and started to speak."From the day I met you, from the day Jason brought you to the pack house."I looked away from him as I remembered the day when I first met him. He was a nice guy, and his every gesture was kind toward me. I thought it was because I was his best friend's sister.With a heavy heart, I wanted to say that I had never seen him like that."Eric, I–""Natalia, I know you are a single mother. I also know that your children are your life. But believe me. You also have your own life where you are really alone. You need some
Time was running faster, like a marathon. It had been a few months since Jason got sick. Everything was changing every day. The pack was unable to rule in the same manner as it had in the past.My family was going through a turmoil of emotions. No one had thought that my brother would get sick like that.That night, when Eric confessed to me, I tried to control the situation with him. But the moment I heard about my brother's health, I rushed to his room.However, what I saw in his room made me burst into tears. Jason was vomiting blood. My mother was beside him, pouring her heart out while crying.I could not believe that my brother, who always looked so strong, was looking weak at that time.My father immediately contacted the pack doctor, and the next day, Jason was admitted to the pack hospital.Unexpectedly, the pack doctor could not find out about Jason's illness. In fact, he told us to call someone who can summon witches to help Jason. Because the sickness would only make Jason
The moment I heard the pack fighter, I took a step back. As I gazed around with my eyes wide open, I came dangerously close to falling down, but I managed to keep myself up by the wall next to me.My mind was unable to process anything that was going on. Fear started to make my heart beat faster. One by one, I turned my gaze to the members of my family.My parents looked shocked by the news. I slowly moved my gaze to look at my little babies.My eyes were filled with tears, and I couldn't even suppress them anymore because I didn't have the strength to do so at this moment.A war meant the dead bodies of so many people. Most of them would belong to Alpha's family. I could not lose any of my family members. What about my children? They were so little. How could they survive the war?As fury grew within my heart, I experienced a feeling of being pierced into my heart."Backstabber," I muttered while clenching my jaw.How could Adrian do that?My parents and my brother turned their heads
I turned my gaze away from Eric because I was at a loss to think of anything. Even though I did not have any feelings for Adrian anymore, that did not mean that I wanted him to die.However, how dare he attack my pack?Not only that, he attacked the pack when my brother was sick. He knew if he called out a war against us right now, it would be easier for him to win.'What a loser you are, Alpha Adrian! If you hurt my brother or give him a single wound, I swear I won't let you go,' I thought.I saw my brother leave the pack house with Eric. All of his officials, who came to take him, also left with him.When they left, I was staring at the door, which had been shut shortly after they had left. It was Jason's command that the door needed to be closed until he gave permission for it to be opened.In addition, there was a door in the back of the pack house. The establishment of this was done with the intention of protecting the lives of the royal family from those who would seek to take t

Go back. We can't secure your safety. It's not a battle against—"She closed the mind link, as she did not want to hear any excuses."Nancy, it's your time to show who you will choose," Natalia reminded her wolf.Nancy was silent as she let Natalia take over. It was like she did not want to fight against her mate.Natalia got mad at her own wolf. S
