I was shocked. My head slowly turned toward him as I looked at his face.He was a man who did not like to apologize to anyone, not even to his parents.So hearing sorry from him was actually a big deal.However, what was he sorry about?"For what?" I asked.He looked at me with a calm expression, as if it were the only thing he could do right now, controlling his emotion from showing on his face."For misunderstanding you."I averted my gaze away from him. "Adrian, how many things can you be sorry for? Can you give my eight years back to me?"He was silent. I wondered if he still regarded me as a criminal for marrying him.I heaved a sigh and looked directly into his eyes."Actually, I am sorry. I should not have agreed to marry you in the first place. I was childish who..."I paused when I realized I had begun to speak about my past."Who what?" he asked.I was able to sense the desperation in his voice.I shook my head. "Nothing. I was young and made some wrong decisions."Suddenly,
Adrian's POVI froze when she said that. There were no other things that hit me, like the way she said I was not in her heart anymore.I clenched my jaw in anger.How could she say that?If she claimed that she used to love me, then how did she forget the love? Why did her heart change?Her eyes were filled with animosity. It made me feel a pang in my heart.Why was I feeling like that?"Take your sorry back to you and let me live my life. I am tired of you. How many times do you want me to tell you that?" she asked, grabbing her forehead.I did not say anything, and I let her say whatever was on her mind."I am trying to stay calm with you. Can't you see that? After fighting with me in the war, do you still believe that I am like this? I am controlling my anger toward you. Because you suddenly turned the head Alpha, and I can't even cross my line. I don't want to kill you, nor do I want you to kill me. I want to live for my family, for my brother, and for my children."My gaze did no
The driver walked back to the car after handing the bag to Natalia. She took her phone out of her bag and looked at the screen.I had no idea who the hell had been bugging us during our conversations.I peeked at the phone screen and saw a nameless contact number. She also did not know who had called her."Hello?"Her face lit up with a smile, as though someone was speaking to her on the other end of the phone."Max!"Max? Who the hell was Max?I frowned while looking at her smiling face, which was gloomy a few seconds ago. Who had the charm to change her mood in just a few seconds?"After that night, I thought you would never contact me again."I clenched my fists upon hearing her words.That night? Which night? Did she dare to spend a night with another man?So many questions roamed around my mind as I stared at her."I am sorry for what I did. After sending you to the hotel, I realized that I should not have put my phone number in your pocket. It was kind of offensive, wasn't it?
I looked at her with a frown. "What did you just say?" I asked her.She looked at me briefly before continuing to speak with Max."It's okay. You can take your time. I will be here until you arrive."The way she ignored me raised my wrath. I glared at her. She kept eye contact with me while speaking to Max."Bye, Max.After hanging up her phone and putting it back in her bag, she gave me a questioning look."What?" she asked, as if nothing had happened."What were you telling him?""To pick me up from here."I grabbed her arm and asked,"Did I take a leave for you from your job so that you could spend your time with another man?"She appeared to be taken aback. But then she composed herself and replied,“Why did you take a leave? Was I the one who told you to take it?”"I don't care. You can't give your time to someone else.""What? Have you lost your mind?"She yanked her arm away from my grip and stepped away from me.She seemed to be distancing herself from me. I did not like it."
I shook hands with Doctor Max and said, "I see, you are having a good time in my pack."He appeared to be a little stunned by my question. I released my grip on his hand and turned my attention to Natalia."How did you come to know her?"Max cast a quick glance in the direction of Natalia, who was looking at him. First, he smiled at her, and then he turned his attention back to me."We are friends.""Friends?" I asked, frowning at his words.How did they come to be friends with each other? Max's pack and the Blue Moon pack were not the same.Was it because he went there that they were able to cross paths and become friends?The fact that Natalia helped my father with Max's cure came to mind immediately. Max's pack had an alliance with Natalia's pack, but due to the end of the contract, they did not come to save her pack during the war.“I am honored to have the opportunity to meet you, Alpha Adrian. I sincerely apologize. That night, I was not in my right mind, and I could not greet y
"Adrian, are you listening to me?"Patric kept talking to me, but my mind was somewhere else.We were in the car and heading to the pack house. I called Patric on the way here because I needed to talk to him about something."Adrian." Patric called out my name again.As I removed a cigarette from the packet, I muttered, "I am all ears."Then I put the cigarette in my mouth to light it.Reaching for the cigarette and lighting it with his lighter for me, Patric said, "No, you don't."The way his silver-colored lighter ignited the flame made me feel as though I was experiencing the same thing on a deeper level in my chest.Before I found out the truth, I was fine, but now I could not seem to accept anything.It seemed as though everything had changed all of a sudden.My thoughts kept going back to the way Natalia was responding to another man.Why did she not try to distance herself from Max in the same way that she did with me?And that healer! He dared to flirt with her in front of me.
Patric did not say anything for a while, as if he were in a daze. When I raised an eyebrow at him, he gave me a puzzled expression."Are you sure, Adrian?"I averted my gaze from him and returned my attention to the dark sky. The smoke that I inhaled deeply blew out of my nose because of my closed mouth."Hmm."I kept my gaze fixed on the moon. It appeared to be moving alongside the car."Hello?" I heard Patric's relaxed voice.He had arranged for someone to handle the announcement. It would be announced on social media so that all pack members were aware of it."Spread the news that Alpha is no longer in any relationship. He is single right now."I turned my head towards Patric. He winked at me, indicating that he was pleased with my decision.I rolled my eyes. What was his problem with Lynda?That woman was completely innocent. Who could have a problem with her?After speaking with another man on the phone, Patric turned to me and said,"Done. Our men will deal with it. Tomorrow mor
I was taken aback by Lynda's confession. She was unaware of the truth because she told me she had no memories of it.So it surprised me to hear about the past directly from her.“Adrian, what is she saying? Is she the girl who rescued you many years ago?” My mother questioned me. Tears were forming inside her eyes.I could see that, as a mother, she was grateful to the person who had saved her child's life.Lynda pulled away from the hug and looked at me. "Adrian, I recall everything that happened that night.""What did you remember?" I asked her, thinking about the night.Lynda took a step back as if the night was slowly reflecting in her mind. She averted her gaze from me and lowered her head before saying,"I was quite young at the time. I saved you and later..."She paused, leaving me wondering if there was anything else I needed to know."Later what?" Patric, who was standing next to me, asked her.Lynda took a deep breath and raised her head. Her teary eyes met mine."Those men
