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
Natalia’s POVAfter arriving at the hotel, I was unable to get any sleep throughout the night.I couldn't help but think about those dirty touches from those men whenever I closed my eyes. I tried my best to go to sleep. On the other hand, my thoughts immediately went to the moment when Adrian came to help me.He really helped me today. Because of him, my thoughts were all over the place.The next day,Eric told me to accompany him to a meeting. I refused because I said I had nothing to do with the pack business. So Eric had to go to the meeting alone.Meanwhile, I was sitting on my bed, thinking about calling my children.It was a maid who received the call when it connected."Why did you receive the call? Where are they?” I asked the maid because Noah and Aria were the ones who always had the phone.The maid was silent. I frowned at the maid."Why are you silent? Where are they?"But what the maid replied clutched her heart."They haven't come back since the morning. T-They are miss
Adrian's POVI was on my way to go to the airport. Because the battery was running low, my phone switched off. I was staring out the window while sipping coffee.The chilly weather mirrored the icy depths of my heart. It was a reflection of the frigid abyss that I felt within my heart.My mind was mixed up with Natalia. There was no way I could get her out of my head.Despite the fact that I did not want to leave at this moment, I was notified that something had come up in my pack. As the head Alpha, I would have to handle it."Take the call," Patric told me while handing me his phone.After giving the screen a brief glance, I saw that Lynda was the one who had called him."Tell her I'm leaving."With a sigh, Patric turned the phone on a loud speaker and then continued to say, "Miss Lynda, Alpha is going back to the Crystal Blood Pack.""But he didn't inform me," Lynda replied with shock.Patrick was taken aback by the question. He turned his head to me.Although I did not utter a sin
I turned my head and saw a little girl."Hi Sir, would you mind if we sat here?" She inquired about one again.The girl's features reminded me of someone. With a sense of wonder, I asked, “We? But you are alone yourself."She shook her head at me as she pointed her teeny-tiny finger in the direction of someone, then said,"My brother is there. Uncle William also came with us."I did not care to look at where she was pointing. But I was surprised by the little girl. She did not know me, yet she was talking to me about her relatives.By looking at her, I could not help but think of the woman due to whom I was losing my patience nowadays. Just thinking about her set my mind ablaze."Why are you even asking me? It's a public area. Sit anywhere you want," I muttered with a disturbed tone.Taking another look in Patric's direction, I moved my gaze.At that time, a little boy came to my side and said,"Don't talk to her rudely."His voice came out as a warning. I turned my head to look at h
My gaze was fixed on Natalia. It appeared as though she was taken aback by my presence. In her gaze, I could see fear."Mom, that uncle–" Aria was about to say something when Natalia interrupted her by asking, "Aria, Noah, why did you come here?"While holding her hand, Noah responded, "We were missing you, Mom.”I could not believe what was happening in front of me. How could she have children?There might be some misunderstanding.I stepped toward them and looked at Natalia directly."Are they your children?"As if she were attempting to shield her children from me, Natalia firmly grasped the hands of her children and pushed them behind her.I raised my brow in surprise. Did she think I would hurt those kids?She cleared her throat and responded, "It's none of your business.”She made every effort to avoid looking into my eyes. She glanced at Patric, who appeared to be in disbelief as well. Then she turned around and walked in another direction.Arian and Noah turned their heads to
The following day, I was working in my office when I heard someone knocking on the door of my cabin."Come in."I saw Beta Patric entering my cabin. He was not alone. He came with another young man.The young man bowed to me and said,"All hail to our Alpha."I did not respond to him. I was already swamped. Just one thing I was curious about was the reason this man came here.I looked at Patric. He spoke out,"He is Blake. He is our spy who came here with information about Eric."It drew my attention as I turned to Blake."What did you find about him?"Blake handed over a file to me and bowed his head."Everything is inside the file, Alpha. We will not disclose anything to anyone until you give us permission to do so.""You can leave now."Blake bowed to me again and left my cabin.I glanced at Patric, who was also eager to open the file to learn about Beta Eric.When I opened the file, I realized that it was Beta Eric’s bio data. I started to read Beta Eric's personal information.It
With a frown on her face, Natalia turned to face her brother. What was it that he desired that made him to assist the family, such as the Leightons? It was not unfamiliar how these people were. They were notorious and vicious people who could only cause harm to others. So why did he help them in the first place?She noticed that he was looking in a certain direction. Before her eyes could follow his gaze, Hazel got up from the couch."Excuse me. I am coming back in a few minutes," she said in a low tone.After that, Hazel walked past everyone.Natalia followed her movements until she left the living room. When she noticed that Hazel was sweating as if she had been startled, she was perplexed.Wasn't her family there for her to set up things for herself? Then why did she look so afraid?Natalia suspected that Hazel had begun to behave strangely since her family arrived.But why?As other people resumed their conversations, the living room started to emit a reverberation of voices.Afte
Hazel's sister-in-law, Ansel Leighton, was shocked. She did not expect Natalia to respond like that. Her eyes widened and glowed with anger."Did you just—"Lucas Miller, Adrian's father, stopped her from speaking when he noticed the atmosphere growing heated."Please don't take her words to heart."Natalia looked at Lucas to see why he had stopped Ansel. She wanted to hear her out before responding with what she deserved.A shameless family like Leighton deserved to be insulted rather than respected."My sister is very blunt. "She never considers who is in front of her; she always stands for the truth," Jason stated proudly.Ansel raised an eyebrow and said, "Then she should stand the truth this time as well. The truth is that someone else is carrying her husband's children. How can she not show her support for the woman? Can't she support the feelings of these two people and make her own decision?"Natalia clenched her jaw. How did she know what she and Adrian had talked about befor
Natalia was surprised to hear her brother. She glanced at the old man once again.Was what her brother said right?Her eyes quickly swept over Adrian's bandaged forehead. Before he could catch her eyes, she averted her gaze off of him.She pondered, 'Was it Old Leighton who was responsible for the burn on his forehead?’By telling herself that she did not care about Adrian anymore, she attempted to calm her heart.Through a hushed voice, she responded to her brother, "Okay."Jason shrugged his shoulders and said to the old man with a grin.“You are talking about culture and rules? In spite of the restrictions that my pack imposed, have you forgotten how I managed to make it to your pack? You are aware of the reason why I went there, right?”The expression on the old man's face changed. His thick brows furrowed, but then he let out a chuckle."I see I have offended Alpha Jason. Don't mind my words. I was only talking about terms. If that offends Alpha Jason, I apologize."Natalia was s
In the silent living roomEveryone's attention was on Natalia. The three new people scrutinized her with their predatory eyes.The pair of emerald eyes, which had been experienced by seeing many things, keened by focusing on her."How can you refer to her as this pack's Luna when there hasn't been a crown ceremony yet?"Hearing the strong voice, which did not shake a bit even though the owner was old, took Natalia aback.She turned her head to look at the old man. She felt awkward inside after meeting his gaze.It appeared that he possessed far more power than she had expected. The power of the wizarding world was something she was not unaware of. The words that he spoke pierced her heart and brought her to the realization of something that she had neglected to remember.'Crown Ceremony!' she thought, averting her gaze from the old man.She came to the realization that she had not yet earned the title of Luna of this pack. The reflection of the night the Crown Ceremony flashed on her
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
