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
I slowly moved my face back. My wolf's words came to mind when I heard him calling out the word "healer."According to my wolf, I would be a healer in the future, which I did not believe. If I had this mark on my body, then I could at least consider it.I saw Max staring at me again. I felt frightened by his long and deep gaze.Was he possessed by something?I cleared my throat and got to my feet. "I think I can help you to ease your headache a little by brewing some coffee for you."I turned around but stopped when he grabbed my hand.I turned to him and saw him resting his head on the table once again."If you want to help me, then help me get back to my car. I want to go back to the hotel."I thought for a moment. He helped me the night I was drunk with great care, like a gentleman. Today, it was my turn to help him.By the way, I could not lose contact with him. He could be the life savior of my brother."Okay, let's go."I took his arm and encircled it around my shoulder while I
Looking at Adrian, I felt like I was seeing him after ages. Because of everything that I had to go through during the entire month, he did not allow me to forget about him for even a single day.From the way he was punishing me by preventing me from seeing my children to the wound that he gave on my chest, everything reminded me of him, only fueling me inside."You!"Adrian said it with an angry tone.I guessed that he was not aware that it was me until I turned to him after hearing his voice.I looked away from him and bowed my head to him.He was my head Alpha now. I was bound to bow down to him.Although Alpha in rank, I had never had a desire to run a pack or win a war to make someone else's pack mine. However, last time, I did want to win. It was only to save my family's lives and their reputation.Even though losing the war damaged their reputation, I was thankful that Adrian allowed my family to continue living under his peaceful rule.One thing that always surprised me was tha
My lips parted in shock. How could Adrian possibly have such a thought? Not only was he a cold-blooded man, but he was also the most filthy man I had ever come across.What did he think of me? Who was I? A slut who roamed around men to sleep with them?I was on the verge of growling at him. But I tightened my fists to control myself."You are misunderstanding the situation, Alpha," I said blankly while looking into his eyes.His eyes were filled with scorn for me, which was something that I had seen before.He scoffed at me. "Did I even need to ask you that question? You, you are the woman who can do anything to get what she wants. You drugged me that night and slept with me. The next day, you pretended to be innocent and forced my father to marry me. Do you plan to do the same with Doctor Max?"One by one, he was talking nonsense. "I don't want to listen to you. Please leave us in our position. You can leave now."I turned around with Max and began to walk. Adrian grabbed my hand to
I turned my head to look at Adrian. "We can manage," I uttered at him.He did not pay attention to me and looked at Max directly."It's already late, and you are not in a good state. I can't let you get harmed in my pack. So get in the car."Max slowly turned to face him, and then he gave Adrian a nod."Thanks, Alpha Adrian."I closed my eyes in annoyance. Max should not have accepted his offer.After heaving a sigh, I walked toward the car while holding Max. I opened the back door and helped him sit inside.I walked around the other side and opened the door. Before I could get inside, Adrian grabbed the edge of the door to stop me."Where are you getting in?" he asked.I looked at him and replied, "In your car?"I mean, was it not obvious to him?He frowned at me. “Why? Do you want to go to the hotel so you can carry out your plan?”He was getting on my nerves right now. How could a person take so much humiliation at a time?"I don't care what plan you are thinking about. But I don't
