I headed back to the room where my family was. In light of the circumstances, I had no idea what to do. I was lost. I was unable to move in any way.Adrian's statements did not give me the feeling that he would cause any harm to my children.But why did he want to keep them away from me? He wanted to punish me by doing that.If he threw my family out of this pack, then where would we go? What about Jason? Who would treat him?As I was passing by a room, my eyes landed on a door that was slightly ajar. I decided to look inside.I noticed Gamma Benjamin groaning in pain. I opened the door wide and saw him looking in the mirror while dabbing a cotton ball on his neck.I was able to recognize the wound. It was me who bit his neck in the war.The fact that I had misunderstood him and caused him pain made me feel horrible. Everything he did was an attempt to protect his Alpha from me.He reminded me of our Gamma, who betrayed us. Our Gamma could have been like him. If he had shown even the
He looked stunned. I chose to disregard his response and proceeded to place the knife inside the box. I pulled out a pair of scissors and used them to hold a cotton ball.After pressing the cotton ball on my palm and soaking it with my blood, I patted it on the wound in his neck.He groaned when my blood started to heal his wound. It was quite painful. But it was effective."Don't worry. It will heal soon," I told him while healing his wound.With his analytical gaze, he looked at me in silence. "Why are you helping me?"I paused for a moment and gazed at him. I could see a doubtful look on his face."I have no other intention. I only came here to help you because I noticed your wound while I was passing the room. I'm guilty of hurting the people who came to help my brother."He gave me a blank look, then muttered,"Your brother disrespected my Alpha and tried to ruin his reputation in the last pack meeting. If it were anyone else's pack, he would have killed all of you that day. You
I was shocked by his question. What did he mean? What was I doing with his gamma?I turned my head toward Benjamin and realized that his shirt was half open, and the way I was standing in front of him, anyone would get a wrong idea.Gamma Benjamin stood up from the bed immediately and bowed his head. Fear was clearly visible in his eyes, and I could see it."I was only healing his wound," I replied, avoiding Adrian's gaze.Entering the room, he muttered angrily, "Healing by how?"My mouth dropped open as I finally grasped what he was trying to say. I raised my head to look at him."It's my blood that can heal his wounds. I was just trying to help him."Gamma Benjamin nodded his head in agreement. He glanced at Adrian's wound and said,"Alpha, you can make her heal your wounds too. Her blood is a cure."I frowned at Gamma Benjamin. I never once mentioned that I would like to help Adrian heal his wounds. Why did he say that?But Adrian did not give me a chance to decline it. Instead of
"Alpha is calling you all outside." Three guards said this as they entered the room. Their voices were strong and rough, as if, in no time, they would shove us outside the room.It had been only an hour since I had talked to Adrian. Why did he not give us some time to think about where we would go?"Mommy, what's happening?" Aria asked, crying a mess. Noah looked confused, as he could not understand what was going on around him."Mommy, Uncle is on the bed. Who are they calling Alpha?" Noah asked with a perplexed look.I glanced at Jason and tightened my fist in sorrow. He was right. His Uncle Jason was the only person he ever heard others refer to as Alpha. He was not familiar with the rules or laws that were in place within the packs.Without looking at him, I replied,"Our Alpha has changed, Noah.""Change? Who is the new Alpha, then?"I was about to say something to make him understand the matter, but before that, the guards began to knock on the door loudly, even though it was wi
"You can not make them apart from their mother. They need her," my father said with a tone of anger in his voice as he spoke. Adrian frowned at him. “What about their father? Don't you think they need their father, too? I can not believe you have the audacity to keep my children hidden in your pack for all these years.”As the two men argued with each other, the atmosphere became increasingly heated.I held my father's hand. "Dad, don't talk to him. He doesn't have any manners. I don't want you to feel humiliated by him."Adrian snorted in response to what I had said. As soon as he stood up, I felt a sense of dread wash over me. It was not for myself that I was afraid; rather, it was for my family.As he started walking over to my children, I took a shaky breath.Aria and Noah were both looking at him with expressions that were distinct from one another.Adrian grabbed their hands and pulled them out from behind my mother.He got down on one knee and gave them a long, intense look.I
Adrian slowly turned to Noah. His eyes fixed on the little boy with a frowning gaze."What did you just say?"His cold tone caused Noah to flinch, but he did not break eye contact with Adrian.I saw a rage in my son's eyes. I had no idea where it came from."You are not my father. You hurt my mommy when she was with you. We won't go with you."I could not be more shocked. How did he know about it? Who told him these?Adrian clenched his jaw as he turned his head toward me. He came to me and grabbed my arms firmly."Leave her." Both of my parents said it together in fear that he would hurt me.But his guards came to stop them from reaching Adrain.I stared at him with a broken look. He tightened his grip, which caused me to hiss in pain."You were talking about manners and all; what happened to your manners now? What about your upbringing? Is this how you teach them to communicate with their father?"I could not keep my mouth shut when he raised a question about my upbringing."The man
I got to my feet and grabbed both of Adrian's hands.“Don't do this to me, Adrian. I will forget everything that you have done to me in the past. I beg you, please don’t take them away from me.”He stared at me with cold eyes as if he were taking pleasure in seeing me in that state.“Adrin, I will die without them.”His eyes studied mine, as though the pain I was feeling in my heart was not enough for him. He wanted to give me more pain. So he said,“What makes you think that I'll care if you die or stay alive? Are you going to die after this? Then die.”He pushed my hand, which caused me to almost fall to the ground.Beta Patric held me to keep me from falling. "It's better if you let them go," he muttered in a low voice without looking at me."Martin!"I heard my mother's voice and turned to look in her direction.My eyes widened when I saw my father folding his hands in front of Adrian. I shook my head in shock.Nothing in this world was as shameful for an Alpha as begging in front
Adrian left the pack house, leaving us in a destructive state.I looked at my mother, who had been crying non-stop. On the other hand, my father stared at the floor without letting out anything.I sobbed as pain engulfed my heart.In just one night, everything had changed.Everything was destroyed by Adrian. I could only wish it was all a nightmare, and that when I awoke, everything would be back to normal.However, nothing returned to the old place; it was not a dream but a reality. Adrian decided to kick my family out of the pack, trying to make us homeless. As I glanced at my parents, I took a deep breath. I tried to contact someone in my uncle's pack. As the call connected, I spoke out,"Hello, can I talk to Aunt Jen?"When she heard me, my mother raised her head to look at me. I put the phone on loudspeaker so that she could also talk to her brother's wife."Yes, she is here," the person who was on the call said as she handed the phone to Aunt Jen."Who's speaking?" The voice of
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
