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 mother."I hope she'll be fine soon.""She misses you a lot. Why don't you come to the Crystal Blood Pack to meet her?" Alpha Lucas proposed.I shook my he
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?
Third POVAdrian was looking at those men who were approaching Natalia.As Natalia moved to the side, she cast a quick glance in their direction and shook her head. They laughed at her because they believed that they were able to capture her at this moment.Adrian lowered his head to look at Natalia. He noticed that her eyes were teary. She looked lost. She did not look like the confident lady he had met last night.Her expression infuriated him. The men caught his attention.They bent to touch their knees. They let out a puff, and one of them remarked, "Dude, she's ours.”"Yours?" Adrian muttered as he questioned."She is pretending to be innocent. I am willing to bet that she is wandering around here in search of a wealthy Alpha to have sex with. We are not rich, so she is acting now. But we have something else to give her, you know."As soon as Adrian heard the man, he growled at them. It was a loud growl.It shook everyone to the core. Natalia did her best not to submit to him. Bu
