"Aaahh!"Loud and painful screams of Faith came out of the room. Everyone in the living room was completely silent.Adrian was seated on the couch. As he was drinking, his face was expressionless.However, his eyes only get darker with each scream. The guards, who were standing in the room, kept glancing at him.Adrian gulped the drink while thinking that if that day he had not grabbed Natalia and dragged her into his room, that old man would have done this to her or maybe more than what he was doing to Faith.He was only getting angry.After a while, the screams stopped.Patric glanced at the clock and laughed. "That's the end? That oldie really had no juice left inside him. But at this age, he still desires to touch young bodies."Gamma Benjamin looked at Patric and asked,"What about that bitch? She screamed like she was a pure virgin, as if she had never slept with rich men for money."Delta Julian and Theta Emon exchanged glances. They turned to Benjamin. Theta Emon could not hel
The old man slowly turned around and said,"I-I am going back t-to my home. My wife is waiting for me."Adrian chuckled as he lifted his hand.One of the guards, who was standing behind the couch, pulled out a gun and handed it to Adrian."The money I gave you was the compensation to your wife for your life.""W-What do you mean?"The man's blood drained from his face in fear. Adrian pulled the trigger and pointed the gun at the man's chest.His smirk vanished as his eyes glowed red. The man came dangerously close to having a heart attack."You dared to purchase my woman for a night. Who knows how many girls ended up trapped like that? That night, she begged you to leave her, but you didn't listen to her and sent the guards after her so that you could ruin that innocent girl's life."The man got down on his knees and joined his hands together in front of him."Forgive this naive man. I didn't know it was your woman."Adrian looked at his officials and asked,"Didn't people refer to m
Natalia's POVIt had been two days since I had last seen Max. I had been considering my choice for the past two days. I had to get somewhere today. I could not hang anyone anymore.I had spent a lot of time thinking about it. Eric's suggestion also crossed my mind.I realized that I needed to take a step forward in life. How long would I live like a woman who had no one to be with?Max was not wrong when he asked for a chance from me. Though his way of asking was not right, his intention towards me was clear.It was noon, and I was working at the Moon Lovers Coffee Shop."Are you going somewhere?" One of the waitresses asked me.It was break time for lunch. So, the 'closed' tag was pulled outside the door. Every employee was seated at the tables to eat their lunch."Yeah. I need to catch up with a friend," I replied to the waitresses.Laiana did not come to the coffee shop today. She went to visit her family and would return after one week.Before leaving, she delegated responsibility
Max was frozen when he heard me. His brows lifted, but then his eyes filled with smiles."What did you just say?""I accept your condition."He shook his head in denial as if he did not ask me that.I sighed and lowered my head."I will be your girlfriend."Max took a brief pause and asked,"Are you saying that because I pressured you for your brother?""No. I thought about it a lot and made the decision to give my life a chance."Max kept quiet, which caused me to raise my head to look at him.However, the moment I raised my head, he pulled me into his embrace.I was shocked by the sudden closeness. His arms tightly wrapped around me while embracing me.My hands were frozen in the air. My mind was not processing whether or not to hug him back.My wolf was not happy that some other wolf was touching me. I closed my eyes tightly and hugged Max back.Since I had decided to be with him, I had to fight back my inner wolf and accept him wholeheartedly."I thought you were so stubborn that
Max said he would take me to his favorite restaurant in this pack.He never failed to cast a glance in my direction throughout the entire ride. I was able to sense his gaze. He looked excited.I blushed because he was trying to find some topic to talk about with me. I could not deny myself that I really liked this man. His personality as Doctor Max was appealing to me. He was someone I had always heard a lot about. He was a kind man who always liked to help others and make new cures for unknown diseases.Now, it was time to know him as Max Harrison.I was well aware that allowing a man into my life would not be easy for me. But at this point, I was adamant about moving on.I vowed that I would never again look back at my past. Since I gave this man a chance, I would never do the same to him as what my past had done to me.The car stopped in front of a five-star restaurant. Max's driver got out of the car and opened the door for him. I got out of the car without waiting for others to o
Adrian's POVI was occupied with my work. The last two days, I was quite calm because I did something that eased my mind.Now, I could focus on my work,on my company, and on the pack business.I was building an empire that was too high, and I wondered whether or not my son would be able to carry it off perfectly in the future.All I could do was shake my head as I thought about Noah. That young boy continued to hold a deep-seated hatred for me, as if I were not his father.Aria recently began talking to me again, which made me happy. But what would I do with Noah? No matter what, he buried hatred for me in his heart.His blue eyes came to mind. He inherited those wonderful blue eyes from his mother.When I was sitting in my chair, I closed my eyes and leaned back against it. Natalia's blue eyes hunted me down again. Even for a brief moment, I was unable to get her out of my heart. She was always with me in my mind.I could not help but wonder if she was having the same thoughts as I w
I threw the phone away as I rose from the chair. I did not believe this bullshit. Still, my thoughts lingered on the photos I had just seen.I grabbed my suit jacket and left the cabin.All the employees outside my cabin stood up hurriedly when they saw me. I ignored them when they bowed to me."Alpha, your meeting..."I heard my secretary behind me. I paused and turned around to look at him.His eyes widened as if he had seen something terrifying. Just looking into my eyes caused his whole body to shake."Cancel it."He bowed after nodding at me. When I turned around and headed for the elevator, I heard my secretary's voice again."Hurry up and get Alpha's car out."He had called my driver and informed him about me.When I arrived on the ground floor, I noticed that the entire lobby area was completely silent. They were conscious of my presence. Sometimes, I felt bored with that kind of treatment. However, if I could not control everyone around me, they would stop obeying me.I left
Natalia's POVI was taking orders while standing behind the counter. I kept glancing at the clock. I would have to close the shop soon.Max said he would come to check on my brother tonight. He also said he would speak with my father and check on Eric's health.I was feeling tired. After I got back to the shop, I worked without stopping for four hours. It was a pleasure to meet with Max today.His gentle behavior really captured my heart. I recalled how he helped me when I was drunk in my pack. I could not forget that he was also drunk when he first came into this shop.His first sentence after meeting me in this pack was that he had been searching for me.Now I knew why he was looking at me. He liked me.But did I like him?People around me kept telling me that I had a crush on him. But how true was it?I bit my bottom lip as I remembered what I said to him when he asked me to attend my children's birthday party with him.I said yes.I agreed to join him. I would be there with him. I
