The car came to a stop in front of an old brick house. Through the window of the car, I looked at the house.I could feel a strange smell coming from inside the house, which I did not like at all. It was clear to me that there was a wizard living inside. But still, there was something else that I could feel.I did not waste any time waiting for my driver to open the door for me; instead, I unlocked my car and got out.I started to walk toward the house, with Patric trailing behind.Due to the fact that it was daylight, I was able to see the color of the house, which had faded, as if it had not been painted for many years."He did not even have the ability to paint his house, but he was helping the Royal Family? I have to say, Alpha Jason is a really close-fisted man," I said, scoffing at the thought that they did not pay him enough for his hard work.As I stopped in front of the door, Patric glanced at me with a nervous look."Adrian, are you planning to kill him?"I stared at the doo
I turned around and looked at the old man. He had a bright grin on his face. The sunlight illuminated the entire house, allowing me to closely observe his face.Despite the fact that he had wrinkles that indicated he was getting older, he did not show any other signs of aging. He appeared to be of enough strength to remain, much like a young man.I knew how he did that. With the help of his power of magic, he was able to keep his inner youth."What did you mean?" I heard Patric's voice from beside me.After a brief moment of distraction, I brought my attention back to the words that the old man had just said to me.I was wondering what he meant when he said that he had been waiting for me. What gave him the idea that I would pay him a visit at some point in the future?As he approached us, like a gentleman, he made a gesture toward the couches and spoke to us in a courteous manner."Most of the time, I speak with other people while sitting on the floor. But since it's Alpha Adrian, I
"What are you doing to my Alpha?"Patric yelled at Qadir the moment his eyes fell on the burning flames on my chest. Through my white shirt, it was visible. However, my shirt was not burning; the flame was only burning my chest.Right away, Patric pulled out his gun from behind his waist and pointed it in the direction of Qadir."Stop all your magic right down. Otherwise, all six bullets will appear on your forehead after a while," Patric warned him.Qadir glanced at Patric and responded,"Calm down, Beta. Your Alpha is more powerful than you think of him."I clenched my jaw while looking at Qadir. He dared to hit me with his magic. How dare he?I turned my attention to Patric and signaled for him to put the gun down.Even though he did not wish to, he was unable to disobey my order.As soon as he put the gun down, Qadir turned his attention to me."Accept my apology. I was merely defending myself."When I felt that the flames inside were nearly touching my heart, I growled at him."S
I glared at him with a frown and gritted my teeth in a furious state. "What did you just say?"Qadair let out a defeated sigh and replied,"You wanted to be with her, didn't you?"His brows lifted. "How did he know that?""Old man, your reflections misguided you. I am not in love with that woman. It's just because of the mate bond that pulled me toward her."Qadir's face had changed after hearing me. I was able to observe him. Even though he was not under any kind of pressure, his heart was beating extremely fast. I could hear that.It was because of the fear that began to form inside his heart in front of his head Alpha."If it were true, you would have rejected her."I was stunned by his words. I had never thought of it before.Rejecting her? Could I ever do it?However, her betrayal reflected on my mind and gave me a pang in my chest.I could not accept that woman anymore. Though those children were mine and she did not cheat on me during our marriage, she committed a sin by hiding
The whole ride was silent as the car entered the Crystal Blood Pack. I could see people were celebrating because their head Alpha had won two new packs.It took us a few hours to reach the car at the pack house.When I got out of my car, I noticed that there were a few cars parked in front of the pack house.My children were inside one of the cars. Delta Julian got out of the car and came over to me as soon as he saw me arrive at the pack house."Alpha, I brought them here as you instructed."I looked over at the car, trying to get a glimpse inside. "Where were they all this time?" I asked this question because I had returned to the pack late at night. It was getting close to dawn."They were in your company’s apartment.""Have they eaten anything?"Julian shook his head. "No. I tried to coerce them to eat something. But both of them want to go back to their mother."My mind turned shadowy after hearing that. I saw all of my officials get out of the cars. Patric walked over to me and
After returning to the pack house, I spent the entire day there.Like their mother, my kids had a stubborn nature. All they wanted was to return to her. My mother was making every effort to have a good relationship with them. I was relieved when they began to converse with her.My mother was taking care of them.It was afternoon when I was working in the study room in the pack house since I moved here to stay close to my children. Though they did not talk to me, I knew their anger would ease with time.I heard a knock on the door, which paused me from tapping on the laptop."Come in." I permitted the person to enter the room.It was a maid who came inside and bowed her head to me."Alpha, the old master is calling you.""Where is he?""He is with the old mistress in the living room.""Are Noah and Aria with them?"She nodded her head. "Yes, Alpha."Since my father and mother were no longer the head Alpha and Luna, they addressed my father as the old master and my mother as the old mis
We turned our heads towards the door and looked at her. She was standing at the door. She came running toward me and grabbed my arm as she approached.“Adrian, how is it even possible for that to happen? Who are they, exactly?”I looked away from her and replied, "You heard it right. They are my own blood."She jerked my arm to make me face her. I was stunned by her actions. But I could not say she was overreacting. This woman loved me, so this news came as a complete surprise to her.After giving her a look, I said,"Lynda, I am not alone anymore. Now, I am a single father. I need to take my children’s responsibility."A look of disbelief could be seen in her face. "How are you so sure that they are yours? Did you run any DNA tests?"I remembered how I tried to do that to find out the truth, but Natalia tricked me. I needed to find the doctor who gave me the results. He would have to pay for it.I yanked her hand off of my arm and then responded to the question that she had asked."I
When I heard Lynda, I was completely taken aback.I stood up and asked, "What?"Getting to her feet, she gave a slight nod of her head."Yes, Adrian. You heard me right. I will be their mother."I shook my head. No, she was unable to comprehend it. She was just going with the flow without thinking for herself."Adrian, it's a good thing if she handles your kids. Why are you opposing it?" My mother asked me with a forceful smile."Mom, you are not getting it."I did not love Lynda, and even if I were to tie the knot with her in the future, it would only be a marriage of compromise.When I looked over at my father, he was staring at me with a blank expression.“I wanted to give you another option, but your girlfriend gave you a choice. Therefore, the decision rests with you, as I have ceased interfering with your affairs,” my father said to me.I knew what he wanted at that time. He wanted me to get back to Natalia.But that was impossible.That woman deserved my rejection, not my accept
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
