"Alpha, don't you want to go inside?"My driver's voice made me look away from Natalia.But then I could not help but glance at her once again.My driver lowered his head when he realized that I was not in the mood to reply to him.I came here all the way to talk to Natalia, but when she was in front of me, I had no words to say.What would I tell her? How would she react?As I was thinking all of these while looking at her for a long time, I heard a few voices from outside."She is like a butterfly. Hard to catch.""Yeah, but she is your sister-in-law. Don't look at her like that.""Senior, you can't say that. I introduced you to Natalia.""So what? Your big brother fell for her. So stop looking at her with any other intentions."I frowned when I heard those voices. It was their words and Natalia's name that caused my frown to deepen.A couple of boys who appeared to be college students passed by my car.It seemed like they were leaning on my car a few minutes ago. By looking at the
Third POVNatalia immediately yanked her hand away the moment Adrian was about to pull her along with him toward the door to leave the shop."What's wrong with you?" she asked with a pair of frowning eyes.Adrian looked at his hand, which was in the air, when she snatched her hand out of his grip.She could not help but try to observe him.What was he doing here?"Natalia, I need to talk to you right now," Adrian said, gritting his teeth.He was not angry at her but at himself. He could not just handle himself at that moment. All he wanted to do was tell her about him learning the truth."Why you–"Natalia wanted to yell at him but then paused. She glanced around and realized that everyone was staring at her. She gave them an apologetic smile."Guys, please enjoy your coffee."Adrian stared at Natalia, who was smiling at others but only giving him the cold shoulder.A young boy stood up and made his way towards them."Mr..."After pausing for a moment to examine Adrian from head to to
Her polite tone shone more rage in Adrian's eyes. He was only mad at himself all these times. However, he was not at all pleased with Natalia's casual behavior toward Evan.Natalia rolled her eyes when she saw him standing like a statue."Excuse me, young man."Natalia heard Liana's voice, and she stepped aside.Liana looked at them from the counter and said,"Please tell me if we can help you."Adrian shifted his gaze to the old woman, then turned it back to Natalia."Are you coming with me or not?"Natalia felt that he was giving her a warning. She was not someone who would take it."I told you that night. I'm just tired. What new blame are you going to throw in my face this time?""Did I say I came here for that?""Then why are you here? Adrian Miller, if you want me to lose my job, then just go to my boss directly and ask her to fire me. What else can I expect from you? But at least don't destroy her running business," Natalia said with an angry tone. But her voice came out like w
Adrian tucked his hands into his pockets and gave everyone a bored look."Raise."Everyone stood straight but did not dare to look into his eyes."If I hear any of you whisper again, I will cut your tongue off of your mouth."If it was someone else, the young people would have thought it was just a fake warning.But it was none other than their head Alpha, Adrian Miller.He had a history of ruthlessness. No one could just ignore his warning. They obeyed him and sat down in their chairs quietly, turning their focus back to themselves.Natalia was already dumbfounded by Adrian giving orders to Liana, but the action that the pack members took really stunned her.She could see both fear and respect in their eyes.No wonder they did not recognize Adrian at first. Just like she did, Adrian confined his scent."Thank you, Alpha." Liana said this to Adrian and bowed to him."Your thanks won't help me."Liana was startled by his remarks. But then Adrian spoke again."Give your employee a break
Natalia's POV"Hey! Stop the car.""Can't you hear me? I said stop the car."I kept telling the driver to stop the car, but that man was just like his boss. He did not listen to me as if he were deaf.I could not believe the man who was sitting beside me. He was a dangerous beast who could kill me at any time.Did he plan to kill me so that he could have my children all by himself?Was he afraid of his life because I said that night that I wanted to kill him daily?I was so lost in my thoughts when I heard his voice, which was soft as honey."Why do you think that I want to kill you?"I was shocked.'What the hell! Can Alpha Adrian even talk with that tone?' I thought.As I turned my head to look at him once again, I noticed that he was staring at me."What are you looking at? Can't you see I am worried about your plans? Why do you want to kill me? To have my children all alone? You can't kill me, Adrian Miller. I will kill you before that."I scoffed at his silence, but my eyes fell
I stared at him when I heard him.Mate? Yeah, he was right. He was still my mate. How could I forget my misfortune? My ill-fated life would never stop to amaze me.I lifted my hand and pushed him lightly to move back."And my soon-to-be ex-mate," I muttered to him.His brows lifted as if he were stunned by my words. It seemed like nowadays I stunned him a lot.I could see darkness spreading around his eyes, and soon, they captured them totally, giving him a fierce look.I turned away from him and looked ahead. I saw that the car was heading in an unknown direction.I had never gone to the Dalle River before when I was in this pack.My adoptive parents never let me go anywhere far. They were abusive, and at the same time, they liked to cage me in their house."Never dare to think that again."I heard a murmur coming from beside me. I turned my head, focusing my attention back on the powerful man sitting next to me.His eyes were cold. His gaze was fixed on the back of the driver's seat
I blinked my eyes when I felt something pierce in my eyes. I looked away from Adrian and thought about the meaning of his sentences.'Learned the truth? I was not the one?' I thought."Natali–"I interrupted him with a cold gaze. "What do you mean?"He did not mind my gaze, and I replied with a calm tone."I took out all of the footage from that night and discovered the truth."I stared at him for what seemed like an eternity. He appeared strange today. He was calmer than he had ever been around me. There was a strange attitude, too. Was that because he learned the truth just now?I chuckled and turned my gaze away from him. My chuckle turned into laughter.I held my stomach and could not stop laughing like a crazy woman.I was not laughing at him but at my own fate."What's wrong with you?" he asked.I looked at him and stopped laughing. I shook my head and said,"Adrian Miller, you can never trust me, right?"His brows were lifted by my question. To make things more clear to him, I
I froze when he asked me the question. He wanted to know why I agreed to marry him?'It's because I loved you a lot. But you kicked on my love every single day, Adrian Miller,' I said in my head but not let it out of my mouth.My eyes paused on the other side of the bridge, where I could see a clean sky; clouds were moving, just like the emotions in my heart.The memories of the past reflected in my mind, and I thought about the night once again.That night, my cousin, who always used to bully me, called me to the club and told me to sleep with a man. I begged her not to do that, but she said if I did not do that, she would not let me go out of the club in full clothes.I tried to contact my adoptive parents, but my adoptive mother said she did not want to know the things between cousins, as if selling my body was nothing to her.I could not believe that my cousin sold me to an old man. I was more afraid than ever. I was a young girl who was a virgin and, at the same time, a werewolf
Natalia scrutinized the three people who did not greet her and instead went to take seats on the couches. Adrian did not even bother introducing her to them. She felt like an outsider.For once, she wanted to leave them for now.However, her brother held her hand and shook his head, indicating that she should not leave at this time."I hope we will not bring up the past. Our children made some mistakes; we will try to solve this," Lucas Miller said with a soft tone.Natalia remained composed, trying to concentrate on their conversation.The young woman had not yet sat down on the couch. She walked up to Adrian and stood beside him."Refreshing to see you again, Alpha Adrian."She was grinning charmingly, and as she gazed at him, her eyes glistened.She raised her hand and gently laid it on his shoulder before brushing something out of its way. As she slowly ran her fingernails over his shirt sleeve, she spoke again while gazing at the bandage around his forehead."You shouldn't have l
At the moment of hearing that, Natalia and Jason both appeared surprised.The Leighton family?Natalia almost forgot that she had heard Gamma Benjamin telling her that some guests were coming to the pack house. He did not say who the guests were, so she was unaware of their identities.Hearing that it was the Leighton family, Natalia felt a shift in her heart.Did they learn that Adrian agreed to accept Hazel and her child? Was it the reason for their arrival?Right after the guards, three people came to the site. They entered the pack house with their green eyes observing the surroundings around them.Natalia examined the three people.They looked powerful—really powerful.There was just one woman among the two men. The woman was young, but she could be two or three years older than Natalia.While the two men have different ages. One was a young man with a calm face, while the other appeared to be the family's main character.It was an elderly gentleman with emerald eyes. A power ema
The color of Adrian's eyes faded from black to brown. He frowned at her upon hearing her statement. He grabbed her wrist and questioned with a raspy voice,"Rule this pack on your own? You mean you want to rule my pack alone?"All of a sudden, she experienced a burning sensation in her wrist. The fact that his hand could cause her to experience such a burning sensation in her head was a mystery to her. Her grip loosened in shock.He was able to successfully get her to move away from him. It caused her to retreat a few steps back. As she was perplexed, her legs became unbalanced.Jason noticed his sister was about to fall. He hurried over to her and prevented her from falling by holding her.His head turned to Adrian, and he let out a low growl. He was filled with rage, and he had a strong desire to kill this man right at this moment."How dare you push her?"He was concerned that this man would cause harm to Natalia's child. Yeah, it was Natalia's child only. The idea of her living wi
Natalia's eyes turned a glowing dark blue. With her teeth gritted, she shot her gaze at Adrian.His parents were taken aback by her words. It was disrespectful to them. Natalia had never dared to do that before. She was always courteous and respectful towards them."Natalia!"Grace reacted angrily. Her eyes narrowed as she spoke,"We have been showing you care all these years. But by saying that you can kill us, you have just shown what our place is in your eyes."Grace looked at her husband, Lucas Miller, as she held his arm."Your father-in-law adores you and has always wanted you to be his daughter-in-law. He never accepted Lynda, and he never mentioned liking Hazel. But today, you disrespected this old man."Natalia turned a blind eye to all the things Grace Miller was saying. The moment Adrian announced that he was going to take Hazel as his mistress, she had completely lost her mind, and his parents did not even object to the idea.Upon seeing Adrian's expression of indifference,
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
