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
