Natalia's body jerked at the pull. The feelings of pain that she experienced were indescribable.Adrian drew closer to her and started to lick the spot where the stake had pierced her neck."What are you doing?" she asked him, trying to move her head away from him.Wrath was visible in the eyes. He appeared to be in a rage. When she was getting her consciousness back, she realized that he was healing her.But why?Could it have been his wolf that was trying to save his mate? Because it was impossible for Alpha Adrian to have any interest in saving her.There was a growl of caution coming from Patric. When Adrian heard that, he instantly turned around. When he looked, he spotted a wolf running in the direction of the pack house, which was close to them. It was then that he shifted his gaze to the people who had emerged from the pack house.Alpha Martin shifted to save his wife and his grandchildren from attacks."Dad!"Natalia yelled over the mind link in an attempt to prevent him from
Natalia's POVI was feeling horrified. How did the spell of the years break just by one growl?I could see Aria got his father's eyes, and Noah got mine. They had no idea what was going on there.For the sake of protecting them, my mother tucked them behind her. They peeked at the fight to look at it clearly.I assumed it was the other pack's fighters who tried to attack my family; that was why they came out of the pack house.But why didn't they run away from the back door?There were so many questions that captured my mind. However, when I heard Adrian's another angry growl, it shook me a little."They are my children!"I realized that he had finally learned the truth. What should I do now?When I glanced at him, I saw nothing except pure hostility directed against me, which had not been present there a while ago.He made a turn toward my children and began to sprint in their direction.I was shocked. There was no way I would let him get my children.I had the intention of going aft
I tried to say that he could back out of the war in our mind links. We still had time. Alpha Leo would die soon since I had bitten him enough. So the throne would be mine directly.If Adrian backed out, I would not have to kill him. I did not have any wish to make my children orphans, though I would never let them go with him as long as the pack was mine.To my surprise, he shut down all the links as if he were done listening to everyone.His red eyes were declaring that he was not pleased with learning the truth.I stared into his eyes after I stopped attacking him."Natalia! Save your brother!"I heard my mother's piercing scream in our mind link. I heard my father's growl when his body was shoved to the ground.I turned in Jason's direction and saw Alpha Leo had already stabbed another stake in Jason's other leg using his mouth. Jason was senseless on the ground.Even after losing one leg, Alpha Leo was limping, preparing to bite Jason's neck to kill him.No one around him was tryi
I was pacing around a room where my pack doctor was checking on my brother. He was lying on the bed, almost looking like a lifeless body. It was his heartbeat and his breath that gave us relief that he was still alive.My parents were sitting on the bed while looking at Jason. Tears continued to flow out of my mother's eyes. I could see my father holding her in his arms.An hour ago, when I shifted back and returned to the pack house, the first thing I saw were many dead bodies of wolves on the floor. I assumed that Alpha Leo's pack fighters had broken into our pack house to attack our family.I glanced at my babies. They were sleeping on the couch, close to the bed. They looked afraid and tired. I raised them very delicately. They had never seen such a fight. It could be causing them major mental distress."As you can see, I pulled out the stakes and bandaged Alph–"While talking, the doctor paused in the middle when he realized that Jason was not the head Alpha anymore.He cleared h
My eyes widened as I heard Eric. I could not just believe him. Why was he lying? There was no way my brother, who had so much pride in himself, would submit to any Alpha. So, submitting to Adrian was far from it."What? Jason submitted himself to Adrian? Why?" My father asked.It was a clear indication that he also could not believe Eric's words.Eric slowly nodded his head in reply. Though I was still in a state of shock, I could not ignore his broken body.I held his hand and gave a signal to our theta to help me sit him on the couch.As Eric sat on the couch beside my babies, he glanced at them."How are they?" he asked.My attention returned to them. I did not know what to do. I was in a mess right now."Eric, my dear, can you tell us everything clearly?" My mother asked him, looking desperate to know why Jason had decided to do such a big thing.Being submitted to any Alpha during the war meant giving up the position of the head Alpha to him.Eric began speaking in a low tone, ho
I could not understand what my brother wanted to mean by not trusting anyone.There was only one person in whom I could not put my trust. But he himself gave the person taking over our pack.I turned my head toward Jason. 'Why did you do that, brother?' I asked in my head.I knew he could not answer. I wanted to know what he had learned that he wanted to tell me. I wanted to know the truth.I believed he would wake up soon, and we returned to our golden days again.Everyone was silent. No one had any words to speak or say anything about this matter.My father sighed as he muttered, "He maybe wants to save us from Alpha Leo's attack. That's why he gave in."I only listened to him. I did not have any opinion about this matter. The fact was that, now, the head Alpha of this pack was Adrian. It was the only thing roaming in my mind.I slowly shifted my gaze to my children. I had already lost my pack. I could not lose my babies."Mom? Dad? What will I do now? Adrian has learned the truth.
One-by-one, everything made sense to us. Our Gamma was the one who came to Jason in the pack house and gave him false information. In spite of the fact that Adrian was merely coming to our pack to help us, he told Jason that Adrian had declared war.He was the only official who reached out to me and provoked me to join the battle by bringing up my father throughout our conversation. He was aware that I would never allow any member of my family to get involved in the war and that I would go to the front lines to engage in the war instead of them."Where is he? I will kill him." I was so angry that my eyes grew blue with rage that I uttered those words."We didn't see him the whole time. We thought he got injured or something. The war was long, and so many pack fighters died, so we did not have any idea where he was," our Theta implied to me.I tightened my fists in anger. "How can someone so close betray us?"Eric appeared to be pondering about something as he took a big breath. "Jason
"Dad, I will be fine," I said to my father. After giving my children a quick glance, I made my way out of the room with the guards."Where is he?" When the guards were making their way upstairs, I asked them.Downstairs, Jason was located in a nearby guest room. As a result, when the guards took me upstairs, I was curious about the whereabouts of Adrian."Where he should be. In the head Alpha's bedroom," one of the guards replied to me.My steps came to a stop when I heard him.They turned their attention to me and inquired,"What caused you to come to a halt? Let's go fast. We don't want Alpha to get mad at us."Another guard shook his head and said,"You don't know our head Alpha. When it comes to punishing others, he is a ruthless man. We can't afford to offend him."As I looked at the terrified expressions on the guards' faces, I started walking once more.They did not know me. They did not know that I was their head Alpha's ex-wife. It was for this reason that they were cautionin
