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
Natalia's POVIt had been two days since I had returned to the Blue Blood Pack after attending the council event. I was really scared that day.The way I saw Adrian with my children almost took my breath away from me. I thought he learned about the truth.But fate was on my side. He did not create any problems there.I assumed that he did not care about where they came from or whose children they were.It was good for me. The only thing I could do was pray that he would never show any interest in this matter."Mom, what are you thinking?" Aria asked.She was sitting on the bed while looking at me.I stopped combing my hair and realized that I was occupied in my thoughts while standing in front of the mirror for a long time.After turning my attention to Aria, I responded, "Nothing, baby.”I made my way over to her and sat down next to her. When she hugged me, I couldn't help but give her a warm grin."Mom, Noah is not looking fine."I was stunned by her words. I looked at her and cupp
FOUR YEARS LATER ...Under the leadership of Alpha and Luna, the Crystal Pack had grown into a formidable pack. Everyone used to be afraid of Alpha Adrian, but after his Luna joined him, the fear doubled because they were the power couple in the werewolf world."Luna Natalia,"The maids bowed to the stunning woman as she walked glamorously through the corridors. She gave them nods as she passed them.Other Lunas were envious of her, finding it hard to believe a woman could possess such powerful abilities. She was an Alpha female and not only that, she was giant like her mate.It was as if they were both moon children, destined to be together forever.In the past few years, Natalia has experienced every stage of her life with her husband, and time has passed very slowly with each passing year. Her life had completely changed. Her opinions, her way of thinking, her way of talking, her etiquette, and many other things had changed. However, what did not change was her heart. She cared
After the crown ceremony,Natalia glanced at Grace, considering taking Adelia to the bedroom."Mom, you must be tired from holding her.""No, it's okay. Amanda was there with me all the time."Natalia moved her hand up. “She is asleep. You can—”Adrian came over to her and stopped her. "You can leave her to Mom. I am sure she can handle her. You look worn out anyway."Natalia was stunned. She shot him a look. Adrian shrugged his shoulders and walked up the stairs."Mom, don't listen to him."Grace shook her head and replied, "He is right. You were very busy throughout the day. Take a rest tonight. I will take care of Adelia."Natalia let out a sigh and agreed to her. She glanced at the sleeping baby and went to the bedroom.When she entered the bedroom, she found the whole room was empty.She shut the door and took off her crown. She carefully placed it inside the closet, next to the dagger.As she finished removing all of her jewelry, the bathroom door opened.She turned her head onl
A Few Months Later"I, Adrian Miller, Alpha King, declare Natalia Miller to be the Luna and Queen of my packs."Everyone applauded when Adrian placed the crown on Natalia's head.Natalia gave Adrian a smile. He wore a black robe embroidered with spells designed by the coven of the Black Haw pack. They sent it as a present to embrace their new head Alpha.Natalia lifted her white gown and descended from the stage, clutching Adrian's arm.It reminded her of her wedding day.Hazel and Jason came toward them and hugged each other."Where is John?" Natalia asked about their child.They pointed to Jade, who was holding their child, while Grace stood next to her, holding Natalia and Adrian's child, Adelia.The two women appeared to be the happiest women in the world today."Alpha Adrian, Luna Natalia,"They turned around after hearing a familiar voice.It was Alpha Wade. Beside him was Tyra, Eric's mate. During their conversation, Alpha Wade said,"I am planning to marry Tyra off soon."Nata
Days passed as the delivery date of Natalia's child was coming.Things had changed in Natalia's life in the last few months.Everyone was doting on her. The person who cared for her the most was her husband.Adrian always came home early to spend time with Natalia and his children. He said he wanted to give most of his time to Natalia during her pregnancy period.Natalia had noticed Adrian's growing impatience to see his baby in recent months. His face was always lit up with excitement.She used to have this dream when she was pregnant a few years ago.Adrian never allowed her to do any work. He was always curious about her preferences for food and activities. He even canceled his meetings whenever she felt sick. When she was down, he always surprised her with a gift to lift her spirits.He did not pass up any opportunity to spoil her. In fact, her own family claimed Adrian had spoiled her too much.She felt as if everything was a dream, and she wanted to stay in it forever."Adrian,
Everyone returned to the pack house.Natalia was lying in bed. The private doctor was checking on her."You are lucky the baby is fine," she said."Thank you, doctor. Please check on Hazel too," Natalia said to her.The doctor gave her a nod and then left the room.Natalia looked at the people who entered the room after the doctor left.Martin Hansley and Jade Hansley hugged their daughter. Meanwhile, Lucas Miller and Grace Miller lowered their heads.Natalia smiled at them, saying, "Mom, Dad."They looked at her with apologies."Forgive us, dear," Lucas said as he approached the bed.Grace hugged Natalia and said sorry to her for everything they had done in the past few days."It was not your fault. You all were influenced. I should be sorry for losing my temper and saying those rubbish things."They shook their heads and said they would never have a daughter-in-law like her. She was more like a daughter to them.“How is everyone?”“Doctor Max treated them. Benjamin was in critical c
Natalia was astounded by what she witnessed. Then she realized that the man was old Leighton's twin brother."Natalia"She heard her mother's voice. She turned her and found her and Adrian's parents. She noticed her mother-in-law also looked worried for her.She limped, trying to walk toward them.At that time a witch ran toward her, but a wolf came between and bit the witch's leg, slamming her to the ground.Natalia realized Eric was the one who saved her. She smiled at him. He gave her a nod before sprinting back toward Jason.Today, the three men in her life who once loved her are protecting her.Natalia realized that no matter how powerful you are, there will come a time when everyone needs each other.She went to her mother and hugged her. Her mother-in-law, Grace, shed tears as she also hugged her.Denis Leighton stepped toward Adrian and bowed to him."Alpha"Natalia was stunned to see the old man lowering his head toward Adrian.Adrian released Ansel's neck and took a step bac
Max was standing behind Natalia. He patted Natalia's shoulder and wrapped his arm around her. "Perfect shot."Adrian noticed how securely Max was holding Natalia. His eyes turned pale as he remembered Natalia's words.If she had been with Max, she would have been happy. Getting married to him again ruined her life.Adrian turned around and saw Ansel's arm. It was pierced by a digger rather than a simple knife.He recalled it and realized it was the dagger marked on the back of Natalia's neck. She was a healer who could kill anyone with her dagger, which was filled with her poisonous blood.He did not know about its ability toward the witches or wizards, but she had killed Doctor Harold with that knife. After that, she never touched it again."Thanks, Max," Natalia said to Max.When she called Max yesterday, he asked for help. She asked for the tonics that could help wolves and the dagger, which she used when she needed it. Max arrived at the right time to help her.The fire went out,
Everyone was staring at Adrian, who was mercilessly beating Rick. They could not believe that he had recalled everything.Natalia was surprised as well. Did that mean he remembered everything? Every moment in their lives that they had spent together?"No! No! No! Stop him!"Ansel yelled at her people. They rushed to Adrian, but he growled at them, which caused them to stop in their place, frozen.As the only one who dared to approach Adrian, the old Leighton's eyes turned glowing green.He raised his hand and chanted something, prompting Adrian to stop beating Rick.The old Leighton was giving Adrian mental pain. He grabbed his forehead and groaned angrily.The sound of his groan reverberated throughout the entire forest."Leave him. Don't hurt her," Natalia said to the old man.Jason and Patric told their men to attack the wizards and witches. Because their Alpha was present, they would have to choose between giving their lives or taking the lives of others.Natalia closed her eyes a
Natalia's tears, which she had been holding back until now, fell on her cheeks.Adrian's gaze locked on hers. They were dark but familiar to her. His jaw was clenched as if he were trying not to groan in pain.When his body moved, she came back to reality and gasped."Ad-Adrian! What are you—"Adrian pushed her head back, covering her gaze so she could not look at anything."Sshh"His thumb caressed her cheek while pressing her head against his bare chest as if he did not feel anything.Natalia could feel the heat of the flame whenever the whip touched his back."Don't... Don't hit him!"She exclaimed, crying, but Rick did not stop."Look, who has come to protect his wife? The man who can not shift, who can not protect himself, how can he protect his wife?"Rick's mocking made the witches and wizards laugh. Everyone was aware of Adrian's condition. He had become a puppet of Ansel.Rick continued to whip Adrian's back. As the flaming whip continued to strike him on his back, his skin b
