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
After I had finished getting dressed, I walked out of my room and went into the hallway.There was no way I could deny the fact that Adrian gave us a big house similar to the one we had lived in before.When his gamma told us that we would be moving here, I thought he had decided on a house with two rooms.But the day we arrived here, I was shocked. Here, we had a bunch of maids and servants. Outside of the house, there were three cars that were parked for use. In fact, Delta Julian one day came to me to give me a bank card to use for the rest of my life.But I declined it. Instead of luxury, I wanted to get my children back. That day, Delta Julian said something that made me feel awkward.I could still remember his words."Natalia, you are a lucky woman. Not every woman has what you have."Even after a month had passed, I was still unable to comprehend what he was trying to mean with his words. Therefore, I decided to stop thinking about it.The fact that I was able to see my childre
"Good morning, Liana." I responded, and then I gave her a hug. Liana Anderson was a lady in her late forties. She was the owner of the coffee shop and ran it by herself. When I said run, I meant she had to cover all of the expenses on her own. There was no man to help her.What caught my attention about this woman was that she was also a single mother like me. Maybe she had the same reason to like me as well.However, I was all alone now. I was no longer a single mother but a single lady who had responsibilities for her family.Sometimes, I wish I could live a peaceful life with my children.As a medical student, I attempted to join the Pack Hospitals before applying to this coffee shop, but they told me that their Alpha would not permit them to offer me any jobs.With every anger that rose in my heart, I still tried to ease it because that man was taking care of my children. He was giving them a life, which I could never give them.He accepted my children in front of the whole world
I immediately lowered my head to fix my dress. I forgot to put makeup on my wounds today.I thought no one would notice that since I was wearing decent clothes.On the other hand, Liana's eyes discovered my wounds when I knelt down. I scolded myself for my carelessness.Liana grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the dressing room. After closing the door, she inquired,"Where did you get those marks?"I chuckled awkwardly. "I fought with a rogue and got that mark," I lied."Yeah, it looks raw. Why didn't you dress it up? It will heal soon."I appreciated her advice, but I had tried. In fact, I was shocked when I saw it had not healed despite my fast healing power. Following that, I tried to apply medicine, but it never healed."It's a relief that you are fine. Don't go to the forest again. You may have heard of the council party many months ago. That time, they said rogues were everywhere. Though they could cease the disease that the rogues were spreading, a lonely woman should stay aw
Max was staring at me with stunned eyes, as if he had seen a ghost."It has been a while. Where have you been? I had been looking for you," he muttered.I was taken aback. "You were looking for me?"Just to make sure I was not dreaming, I gave my hand a quick pinch.I let out a hiss when I realized that it was not a dream and he was standing in front of me!My eyes almost got teary as I found new hope for my brother. I had been searching for him for so long. Finally, my luck turned out to be on my side, and he himself showed up at my door.A broad smile appeared on my face because of it.He started to walk, making his way toward me.However, he got hit on his leg by a chair on a table.I immediately took off my apron and rushed to help him."Max, are you okay?" I asked, holding his arm.When he looked at me, I realized he was drunk."Max, please sit down."I pulled a chair for him, and thankfully, he sat down there."What happened to you? Why are you drunk, Max?"The smell of alcohol
