Everything he said came to mind, one by one.What made him fall for me? What was it about me that he liked? My life was already out of control. I did not want to mess it up anymore.I took a few steps back while shaking my head in denial.As if he had seen something behind me, Max's eyes widened in surprise. I was about to turn my head.But before that, he hurried over to me. He held me in his arms and turned to the other side.I was shocked.It took a few seconds for me to understand what had just happened.I was about to be hit by a car, but Max saved me. When I turned my head to look at the car, I noticed that the driver had turned his head to look at me.That was not a look to check on me or see if I was okay. Rather than that, it was as if he was trying to see if he had hit me.Strange!Why did he want to hit me intentionally? I might be imagining things."Are you okay?"The sound of Max's voice caused me to turn my head. When I looked into his eyes, I noticed a hint of concern.
I stared at Max's car until it faded away from my sight. I was at a loss for steps to take. Why was Max so stubborn?He was now behaving childishly. What did he see in a divorced woman like me? With a snap of his fingers, he could have thousands of young girls.I felt heartbroken for my brother. His life now depended on me.I raised my hand to hail a cab. A cab pulled up next to me, so I got in and gave the driver the address of my house.When I arrived at my house, I saw a car parked at the entrance of my house.A smile appeared on my face, thinking who had returned home.I paid the cab driver and hurriedly entered my house. The moment I stepped into my house, I saw my father sitting on the couch with my mother.I rushed to my father. He stood up and hugged me."My princess, how are you?"I got emotional and shed tears. My father was my power. He was like a shadow, standing right behind me. I wiped my eyes and smiled at him."Dad, I missed you."He put his hand on my head and stroked
Eric turned his head at me, and I felt heartbroken. His eyes were not as lively as they used to be. He looked pale. The strong aura he had almost vanished and turned him weak.It reminded me of the day when I woke up in the Blue Blood Pack after running from the Crystal Blood Pack.I was weak, just like that. But at that time, apart from Jason, Eric helped me a lot. He became my friend, and he shared all of my sorrows with me. He helped me move on with my life, and I began to think of him as a family member. He was important to me, just like Jason was to me.I entered the room and closed the door behind me. I walked to the bed and sat on the edge."Eric, it's been a long time."He smiled at me, though he looked in pain. He lifted his hand, and I caught it immediately."How are you?" I asked."Natalia, you haven't changed yet."I chuckled at him. "It's just a couple of months, silly. Not a decade that I would change."My words caused him to laugh. "I know. But I don't think I will stay
I rubbed my forehead as I was on the verge of losing myself."Natalia, why can't you just calm down and start a new life?"Eric's question caused me to laugh at myself. I lowered my head and replied,"When a mirror breaks, there is a loud noise. But no one listens to the cry of a broken heart. This need for love destroyed me entirely. I am afraid to even think of being with a man."Eric turned silent. He had nothing to say in reply to my words.I slowly stood up from the bed. "Have you eaten anything? Can you walk?" I asked, glancing at his covered legs."I can. It is just that when I move, I feel pain all over my body.""Okay, I will send maids with your food. Take a rest.""That's what I have been doing for months. Give me some work to do. Death in leisure is not what I want."After saying that, Eric tried to sit up. However, I quickly grabbed his arm and assisted him in sitting up."There is something I wanted to tell you," Eric said, looking at his hands, which looked thin to me.
"Miss Natalia, this is Beta Patric."I frowned and moved my phone away from my ear to look at the number. I called Adrian, then why did Patric receive the call?"Where is your Alpha?" I asked angrily.As if Adrian were close to him, Patric asked,"She is asking where you are."Then I heard the voice of the man who had made my life a living hell."Tell her I am in the meeting right now.""Miss Natalia, Alpha is in a meeting."I tightened my fists. "Stop fooling around with me. I overheard him. Give him the phone right now."Beta Patric was silent for a while. Then Adrian's voice reached my ear.“What happened? Didn’t you tell me to keep my distance? I am just working on it.”"How dare you spread these rumors?" I asked while gritting my teeth."Do you have any proof that I spread those rumors?"I laughed at his words. "I am not a stupid woman. You could have dismissed the rumors if you had wanted to. And I don't think anyone has the audacity to spread something about you without your pe
Adrian's POVShe did not even let me finish and cut off my call. My blood was boiling in anger. Not because of the way she ended the call, but rather because of what she had said to me.Why did she always blackmail me by bringing another man?After hurling the phone onto the desk, I reached for the packet of cigarettes. I took out one and lit it.My mind reflected on how I got mad when she told me that she was with Eric.Wasn't Eric losing his life slowly in the Blue Blood Pack? In the past, he used to be a beta of another pack, but now he was one of my pack members. I had so many ways to kill him. If that man dared to look at Natalia once again, I would rip his soul out of his body.Natalia's words kept running through my mind. At that moment, I heard a knock on the door."Come in."My secretary came into the cabin and bowed his head."Alpha.""Where is he?"He gulped while lowering his head. I was asking him about the employee who directed Natalia to the meeting room."Alpha, he ha
It was late at night when I was heading back to my house. I did not go back to the pack house because I was waiting for that woman. My driver stopped the car outside my house. From the window, I could see another car parked outside.Before my driver could open the back door for me, another woman appeared in front of my car.She hurriedly walked to the back door and opened it for me.Her desperate gaze met mine. I stepped down from the car and looked at her."Lynda."She shut the door loudly and crossed her hands over her chest."What's going on, Adrian?"I averted my gaze from her and began to walk towards the door of my house.She trailed behind me until she stopped to step in front of me."Adrian, you can't ignore my questions today. You need to reply to me."I looked into her eyes. I saw rage in them. I took hold of her arm and moved her away from my side."I am busy right now. I don't want to talk about anything."When I took out my house key, she held my wrist to stop me."How c
Third POV"What did you just say? L-Love her?" Lynda mumbled as she took another step back.She could not believe Adrian had admitted that he loved Natalia.Lynda had tried for years to keep Adrian from even thinking about that woman, so how could he suddenly say he loved her?She shook her head and dashed toward Adrian.She grabbed his collar and drew him down to her height."Tell me you lied to me. You love me, not her. Tell me you are just kidding with me. Did I do something wrong? Have I ever stopped you from doing something?"Adrian fixed his eyes on Lynda. His frown faded as he examined her pale look.He grabbed her hands and pulled them away from his collar. He stood tall and answered her calmly."I am not lying. It will be better for you if you start a new life, just like I offered you years ago."Her eyes widened in surprise. He reminded her of the night almost six years ago.It was just when Natalia divorced him and ran away from the pack.Lynda thought everything was over. B
