Natalia's POV"Natalia, where are you?"I caught a glimpse of Adrian, who appeared to be in a gloomy mood. What was the cause of his sudden shift from a calm to a gloomy mood?"I am at the coffee shop. Why? Are you on your way to my home?"Adrian stood up from his chair as soon as he heard me. The chair made a loud noise, startling me. I took a few steps back and looked at Adrian with a frown on my face."What was that sound?" Max asked."A fox broke into the shop," I muttered.I noticed Adrian's fists tightening. I moved my gaze to his face. He looked fierce."Fox? What are you saying?"I laughed and then responded by saying, "I was just kidding. By the way, I was asking you something.""I am here at your house.""What? You are already at my house?""Yeah. I expected you to return home sooner, so I came here directly.""I am coming.""It's okay. Take your time. I am talking with your mom and dad."While he was talking, I could hear my father laughing next to him. I could not help but
Adrian's POV"What did you just say?" I muttered as I walked in her direction.But before I could reach her, he got inside the car."Start the car," she said to the cab driver.However, I grabbed the edge of the window to stop her. The driver noticed it and chose not to start the car.I bent down to look at her."I asked what you just said."She looked ahead, ignoring me completely. Her neglect towards me was killing me. I hated it whenever she ignored me."Who did you choose? Who is that man? Max Harrison?"Natalia turned her head to me as soon as Max's name came out of my mouth.Her face turned cold. Her hatred for me was evident in her eyes.The dim light from the street coming in through the window next to her lit up her face a little.I kept my eyes fixed on her. She used to be a fragile woman when I married her many years ago. I never imagined that the eyes, which used to gaze at me with such tenderness, would become so icy."My man is waiting for me at my house," Natalia said i
I froze when I heard her. I blinked when I realized what she had meant. She was still smiling at me.I slowly moved my hands away from the window and took a step back.She looked away from me and said to the driver,"Let's go."The driver immediately nodded his head and started the cab.My eyes were glued to Natalia the entire time. Her smile was still on her face. But why was it hurting me?The car began to move. After a few minutes, it faded from my sight. I stared at the way the car had left.I lifted my hand and pressed against my chest. My heart was pounding faster.I balled my fist and curled my fingers around my shirt. I hissed when I felt pain in my chest. It was a wound that I never let my wolf heal. It was a wound I got from her. I wanted to see it every day to remind myself how much she hated me.The sound of a ringtone echoed down the lonely road. I had no wish to pick up the call.My legs moved forward as my eyes could not fix at anything. They were roaming here and there
Third POVThe day for Noah and Aria's birthday had finally come. Everyone in the pack house was busy. The pack house was decorated beautifully. At the birthday celebration, people from various packs were invited.Why would they not come?After all, Alpha Adrian sent invitations to them. They were eager to attend the party.In the bedroom, Adrian was checking on a file while sitting on the bed.His fingers were holding the cigarette while turning pages. His gaze was fixed on the papers.He got interrupted at work when he heard a knock on the door."Come in," he replied without looking at the door.The door opened, and his mother's voice reached his ears."Adrian, why are you still working? It's already time. The guests have already started to come to the pack house."He turned his head to the window to glance at the sky. Every light was left out of the sky to conceal its true appearance because it was so dark.Adrian lifted his hand to take a deep puff of the smoke.Grace Miller stared
Grace thought Adrian was talking about Lynda. She reached out her hand and grabbed his hand."I am not comparing her with anyone else. If you like her so much that you can't even hear anything about her, why don't you get back together?"Adrian's eyes were fixed on the sky. His face was calm and indifferent. But his eyes could not hide the emotional turmoil in her heart."I wish I could," he muttered.A smile appeared on Grace's face. She lifted her hand and rubbed his hair. "Don't worry. You will have a lot of chances in the future. Don't miss any of it. Every woman is begging to be with my son anyway. Who will resist you?"Adrian remained silent. Grace patted his shoulder."Get ready fast. Don't you want to see your beautiful kids? They are eager to go to their party."Adrian's eyes moved slightly when he heard about his children. He looked at his mother and gave her a nod.When Grace left the room, Adrian decided to take a shower.After wearing the expensive black suit, Adrian look
Everyone turned around when they saw Alpha Adrian descend the stairs with two children.Their eyes were filled with amazement as they observed them. They had never seen Adrian with children before.Upon closely examining his kids, they discovered they were identical twins. They resembled their father quite a bit.When Adrian came downstairs, he put Aria down and told her to enjoy the party.Noah let go of Adrian's hand when he noticed his old school friends. He raised his head to look at Adrian.Adrian smiled at him and rubbed his hair softly."I invited them for you and Aria."Aria and Noah both ran to join their friends. They looked very happy, which made Adrian feel better in his heart."Alpha Adrian."All of the Alphas from other packs who had traveled to this pack in order to attend the birthday party approached him. They greeted him politely."Your twins are beautiful," one of the Alphas said.Adrian cast a quick glance in the direction of his twin and murmured under his breath,
Adrian's POVI stared at Natalia. Her appearance was royal. Her stunning, coffee-colored gown hugged her figure. She looked like a mermaid. She did not look pale or like an ordinary woman, but as if her beauty had bloomed, she appeared to be the most beautiful woman in my eyes.I could not take my eyes off of her.I did not conceal the small smile that curled around my lips from anyone.Her lovely eyes were straying until they settled on my kids."I am glad that you invited their mother," my dad said with a happy tone. He still adored Natalia, just like before.My mother did not say anything as her eyes fixed on Natalia.I moved away from my parents and started to take steps in Natalia's direction.Suddenly, my mood changed about remaining at this party. I really wanted to spend a lot of time here now.Just as I was about to approach Natalia, another person entered the pack house.He walked directly toward Natalia and said something in her ear. Natalia turned to him and chuckled, then
Natalia's POV"So Natalia Hansley was hiding them from Alpha Adrian all of this time?"I listened to Adrian's announcement. But the way everyone looked shocked, as if he had said something forbidden,.What exactly was there to whisper about? Could they not see that this man allowed my family to live in this pack? Why did they keep reminding him of his brother's actions against him?I noticed Adrian was staring at me. I gave him a cold look. This man was responsible for all of the drama.Despite everything he had done to me, he pretended to be an innocent father.My gaze gradually shifted down to my children.My eyes welled up with tears as I struggled to keep my emotions in check.They were my babies and my life. It had been a long time since I had seen them."Take it."I heard Max's voice. I glanced at the handkerchief he was offering me. I turned my head toward him. He nodded to me as though to let me know he was with me.Though I turned down Adrian's invitation, I came here with Ma
