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 stepmother. "I hope she'll be fine soon."My father Lucas loved his second wife Grace very much. At first, I refused to communicate with her, but gradual
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
When Natalia opened her eyes, her mother was there, sitting next to her.Natalia looked around, trying to find her babies.Her voice cracked as she asked her mother, "Mom, where are my babies?"In haste, she tried to sit up, but she moaned in pain over it."Don't sit up. You have stitches."Natalia bit her bottom lip in pain and looked at her mother with a sacred look."W-Where are they?"At that time, her father and Jason entered the cabin. Natalia's eyes fell on their hands.She felt relieved when she saw her babies for the first time.Alpha Martin and Jason walked over to her and placed the babies on the bed next to her.Luna Jade smiled at Natalia and said, "Your babies are completely fine, my baby."Natalia gazed closely at her children. All the heaviness in her heart had left when she saw their faces.She whispered, "My babies," as she kissed each of their foreheads and then pulled them closer to her.In her entire life, she had never experienced such joy.Natalia cradled her ne
Natalia’s POVWhile seated on the bed, I placed my palm on my forehead. I might not give much thought to what the other members of the pack thought about the fact that I wasn't going back home.But after watching the photo of their alpha with me, it created a major problem.They were calling me a shameless woman.I was scolding Adrian in my mind."It's all happening because of you and your Lynda," I muttered angrily.I checked my phone and noticed that my brother was calling me. Although I was drawn to accept it, I refrained from doing so."Brother may have learned about this mess."I did not receive the call and got ready to go outside.When I was walking out of my hotel room, Jason called me once again.This time, I picked up the call. Just as I was about to speak, my brother's voice came out,"Did that man do something to you?" At that moment, I was having a debate with myself about whether or not I ought to tell Jason about what had previously taken place."Brother, it's just a c
Natalia's POVAs the water slipped against the glasses, the view of the outside world became slightly blurry. Numerous plants were arranged in such a way as to enhance the beauty of the area around the water glass.By the time all of the issues were resolved, I was experiencing a sense of relaxation. I was sitting in a restaurant alone to have dinner.In spite of the fact that I was staying at the hotel, I did not dine in the hotel's restaurant. I came a bit further to have dinner since I wanted to feel fresh air.Eric wanted to come with me, but he had to deal with many Alphas since he was here as a representative of our pack."Miss, what would you like to have?" A waiter asked me while giving me a warm smile.I looked at their menu card and asked,"Bring the best signature dish to your restaurant."The waiter looked shocked upon hearing my answer.Did he think I could not afford it?"Any problem?""Oh, no, Miss. Drinks—what about them? What do you think about having a glass of wine?
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
