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
I was stunned when Max said that to my children. I meant I would tell them about it later. I wanted to make them comfortable around him at first. But his sudden confession took me aback."What did you just say?" Adrian's angry voice came out like a blaze of fire.Other people began to glance at us. I rolled my eyes at Adrian.He was such a dramatic man. What was wrong with him?"Alpha Adrian, don't forget that we are your guests. Respect us at least," I said to Adrian sarcastically.However, it was as if my voice did not reach Adrian's ears. He glared at Max and stepped toward him."You are aware of which pack you are in right now. Am I right?"Adrian's words were intended to warn Max. I stared at Adrian. What did he want? Did he want to push away every man who wanted to enter my life? He wanted me to suffer and be alone for the rest of my life.But I would not let him keep doing that.I took a deep breath and leaned toward Max. I locked my arm with him and turned my head at Adrian."
Adrian slowly turned his head and lowered his gaze to look at Noah. His eyes were darkened, as if Noah were not a little boy, he would have beaten him to death.Max was surprised, too. He did not expect one of them to say that.Adrian grabbed Noah's hand. "You are talking too much. I think it's time for me to discipline my own son."My eyes widened as I was about to reach Noah's hand to stop Adrian from taking him away.But Max grabbed my wrist and stopped me. "Don't worry. He will not do anything to his son. He is a successful Alpha. He knows his son's worth. "After all, Noah is the heir to this pack."I watched Adrian drag Noah into a corner. Noah turned his head to look at me. As I watched him in despair, tears welled up in my eyes.Max released my hand when he got a phone call. I glanced at her phone as I saw his head Alpha calling him.He received the call."Alpha."I could hear what his Alpha was saying to him because his phone was on my side."Ask Alpha Adrian for forgiveness o
"Noah!"I said as I pushed the door of the room.Noah and Adrian both turned to me. I noticed that Noah was standing in front of Adrian while he was seated on the couch."Mommy."I walked to Noah, ignoring Adrian completely."Baby, how many times have I told you not to disrespect your father? He is your dad. You can't talk to him like that.""No, mommy. I don't like him. He is not my dad. Because of him, you always cried."I tightened my fists to control my emotions. Even as a small child, the image of his mother sobbing pierced his heart, and he had not yet moved on from it."Don't say that, baby. I was not crying for him but for my own fate.""Fate?" he mumbled with a confused face.I rubbed his hair and said,"Go back to the party. Aria is waiting for you."Noah glanced at Adrian. I realized that Adrian was silent all the time during my conversation with Noah.When Noah left the room, I turned around and looked at the man sitting calmly on the couch.However, when I looked carefull
I felt strange when my name came out of his mouth. I tried to gather my strength to shove him. But he pressed his body against me. It took my breath away for a second.He tilted his head and moved closer to my ear. I clenched my jaw when I heard him whisper."Don’t agree with him. He doesn't deserve you."‘What should I do right then? Laugh at him.’I sneered at his words. "You mean I deserve to be alone all my life?""Um hm. You deserve better," he muttered, releasing my arms and resting his elbows against the wall.I tried to make sense of what he was saying."Someone better? How can I get someone better? You ruined my life so smartly that I have no choice but to remain alone forever. But fate gives me another chance, and I am going to accept the cha–."I paused when he suddenly pressed his palm against my mouth.He turned his head away from my ear and met my eyes.I stared at him. His eyes moved from my eyes and wandered around my face. I blinked my eyes and looked away from him.W
Adrian's POV"Bed service?"Why did she say that? My mind froze after hearing her. She mistook my desire for mere sexual intimacy with her.Did she think that I was a reckless man who was unable to restrain his lust?Natalia laughed at me. “Alpha Adrian, you should eat some nuts. You are experiencing a loss of your memories at such a tender age?”"What do you mean?" I asked her, getting angry.The truth was that whenever this woman was in front of me, I was powerless to resist her, regardless of how angry I got with her.She was the one who calmed my heart and, at the same time, stoked the flame of passion inside it."Just because I did not take your card and left it at your house the day we divorced, you forgot why you gave it to me?"It brought back memories of the day we divorced. The moment I realized what I had said to her, I became furious with myself.It was not what I meant to say. At that time, I was pissed off at her because she was desperately asking for a divorce. At that
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
