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
Natalia's POVIt had been one month since my family and I moved to the Crystal Blood Pack.Life had been different ever since the night that we were defeated in the war.Because Adrian allowed us to stay in his pack, we were able to at least spend our days here without having to worry about being homeless.Just because he gave my parents shelter in his pack, I could not say he was a beast. What if we were forced to live our lives as rouges? Where would my parents have gone at that time?Regarding the matter of granting me permission to meet my children, I could say that Adrian was the most ruthless man I had ever seen.He strictly prohibited me from interacting with my own children. He gave the order for all of the guards to stop me if they saw me close to the pack house.To get a glimpse of my babies, I had made numerous attempts to go to the pack house, but they refused to let me in. I was disappointed.It came as a surprise to me that Adrian's mother did not answer when I called he
Jason's eyes were filled with rage, which caused him to growl so loudly that Grace Miller was forced to cover her ears. After all among the four werewolves, she was the only person who was not an Alpha. Hazel was the exception, she was a witch.He turned around and looked directly at Hazel. She was trying to avoid his gaze."Are you pregnant with his child?"He asked her the question because he did not believe in it. Hearing about the mistress seemed less shocking than hearing this news.His teeth clenched as he stared at Hazel.Hazel stepped aside, appearing frightened, and stood behind Adrian. But there was no mercy in Jason's eyes. His eyes followed her every step. He noticed that she was firmly gripping Adrian's suit sleeve."Stop scaring her. She is pregnant. I don't want my unborn child hurt by anything."Natalia jerked up when she heard Adrian's words. She clutched her dress around her stomach with her hand.'His unborn child? Isn't his unborn child in my womb? Why is he acknow
As if the sky had fallen over Natalia, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. The shock caused her eyes to widen.What was he saying?She tried to comprehend what she was experiencing on the inside by blinking her eyes back and forth. It was almost impossible to bear the pain of the heartache."What are you saying?" she mumbled.Jason was just as surprised as everyone else when he heard Adrian.But the next moment he rushed up to Adrian and punched his cheek.“You fucker! Do you have any idea what you are saying?” Jason let out a roar.The punch caused Adrian's face to turn. A gush of blood started to come out of the left corner of his lips. He touched his lips with his thumb and looked at it.His eyes turned brown for a moment, which Jason did not notice. Because he was so enraged, he had every intention of punching him once more.“Adrian!”Grace Miller screamed in fear when Jason was about to punch her son again.However, Adrian grabbed his wrist and glared at him."Don't forget you ar
Everyone turned their heads to see Adrian in the left corner."Dad"Aria and Noah mumbled. Adrian looked at them. When Adrian's eyes met theirs, they hid behind Jason."Go back to your room," Adrian said to them.They let go of Jason and dashed up the stairs to obey his command.Natalia was so focused on him that she missed her children's expressions. He was dressed in a gray suit. A bandage was wrapped around his forehead. He looked good with his bangs falling on his forehead and hiding the bandage.He rarely covered his forehead with hair. This was a new look that suited him perfectly.Nevertheless, Natalia could not ignore his words over his looks. She was worried for him; at the same time, she was perplexed.The accident injured him. Her gaze moved to his hands. She could see that his right sleeves were slightly bulged in the arm area. She was certain there was a bandage. His fingers looked fine, but there were a few scratches."What do you mean she is going to stay here forever?"
Hazel's green eyes, which glowed for a brief moment, left Natalia bewildered as she observed them. She then turned to her brother, who appeared to be in a state of shock upon seeing Hazel.After rising from the couch, Natalia turned her attention to her brother."Brother, do you know her?"Jason's eyes were fixed on Hazel. His lips parted as if he was going to reply.At that moment, Hazel cleared her throat and looked away from Jason."N-No. We don't know each other."There was a frown on Natalia's face. Why did she reply? Did she ask her or her brother?Jason's finger turned into a fist, moving down to his side. His confused-looking face turned calm as he muttered,"Isn't she the princess of the Black Hawk Pack?"Hazel's gaze returned to him. They looked at each other. Natalia's confusion got even worse. Nevertheless, she recalled that her brother had been providing support for Hazel's pack for some time, which made it possible that he was familiar with Hazel."S-She..."Grace Miller
The blush spread across Natalia's face as she nodded her head. "Yeah, brother."The confirmation of the news caused Jason's eyes to sparkle. His hand reached into his pocket, and he took out his phone."What are you doing?""I am calling Mom and Dad. They will be very pleased."She quickly shook her head and said,"Don't."Jason frowned at her and removed his phone from his ear. "But why?"She lowered her head, rubbing her palm with her fingers. She was entirely at a loss for words when it came to explaining anything to her brother."Adrian doesn't know about it yet."It seemed as though Jason was taken aback. "What?""Yes, brother."“But he should have known before anyone else. He is your mate. He can sense that.”Natalia had no idea why Adrian did not know this by himself. She was in a daze. Her brother gently patted her on the shoulder."It's okay. Tell him today. Let's go to the pack house to let others know."Natalia thought silently for a long time. In the end, she came to the c
Natalia turned her head only to see her brother rushing over her."Natalia! What happened to you!"Natalia put the phone on the bed, not getting the chance to talk to her children. She tried to sit up. Jason held her waist, helping her to sit properly. He put a pillow behind her, and she rested her back on it.After taking a look at the brother and sister, Benjamin then said,"I am going out for a while."Although Natalia gave a slight nod, Jason frowned and turned his attention to him.“Where the fuck is the Miller family? My sister is in the hospital bed. Why is it that none of them are here?”Benjamin lowered his head and replied,"They are quite busy today. Tonight, there will be a few guests coming to pay a visit to the pack.”Natalia was confused upon hearing him. "Guests? Who?"Benjamin glanced at Natalia and then shifted his gaze to Jason. The expression on Natalia's face changed as Benjamin's mind connected with her and said,"Let's talk about it later."Natalia came to the c
"He is what?" Natalia asked.She could wait a thousand years to find out where her husband is. She needed to meet him, she wanted to see him. She wanted to know if he was alright. She kept trying to get through the door with her exhausted body."He is fine, Luna."Natalia paused her movements and turned to look at Benjamin.She looked at him carefully to see if he was telling the truth or just keeping her calm. His eyes were clear, indicating that he was not lying."Where is he?" she inquired."He left the hospital about an hour ago."Natalia was stunned. She blinked, trying to remember whether what she had seen in the car was real or an illusion."Was he okay? How were his wounds?""He got a wound on his head. But aside from that, he is fine."Natalia did not ask why Adrian had not come to see her or waited for her to wake up.Benjamin helped her in reaching the bed by holding her hand and guiding her forward. He sat her down and poured a glass of water.After handing the glass to he
The fear that she felt was the same fear that she had felt when she returned to this pack a year ago. It was Lynda who made up that car accident. The person who saved her from that accident was Adrian. She remembered how he put his own life in danger to save her.Then how could he not be able to control himself at this moment and drive the car in such a way that resulted in an accident?Fearing that she would die, she closed her eyes. In the middle of the street, the car was whirling around. Her body pressed against the door and her head began to spin around.On the other hand, everything came to a halt in an instant as her body jerked on the seat.She heard a loud noise in her head, like a siren ringing around the walls of her mind.The car hit on something and Natalia felt that she would fall from the car.After what seemed like an eternity, Natalia tried to feel any pain. Her hand was clutching her stomach.She opened her eyes to check if she was still alive.She blinked, but every
She noticed him get into the driver's seat. "Are we going somewhere? We have to go to the pack house. We have to get there before him," she said, glancing at his brown eyes.He listened to her but did not respond.He appeared to be in a rage.After shifting gears, he slammed on the accelerator and started the car.The car got out of the area of his house in a few seconds.Natalia’s heartbeat started to race as she watched how fast the landscape moved before her eyes.“Drive slowly,” she uttered.He paid no attention to what she had to say and continued driving in the opposite direction.She frowned when she noticed it and said,“That's not the way of going to the pack house. Where are you going?”He drove the car while remaining silent. A furrow appeared to form between his brows as if he was becoming irritated by her question.She shut her mouth and decided to silently watch him driving the car. She was eager to find out where he was going to take her.It was his clean forehead that
