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
It was my words that halted Natalia. I was waiting to see how she would respond.Didn't she want that before our divorce? Her words were still fresh in my mind."Hubby, don't go to her. I'm your wife. Please come back to me."When I thought back on her words, I could hear them reverberating in my head. My jaw was clenched as I felt regret for the fact that I had not ended my relationship with Lynda at that time.Natalia turned around to face me."What did you say?"I nodded my head and replied, "I broke up with her."I thought she would be happy after learning that. Because of Lynda, I could not reach her like I wanted. So I broke up with her to make my way back to Natalia.However, I was stunned when Natalia's expression turned against my thinking.A furious expression appeared on her face, and her eyes darkened."You are not a real man.""What?" I asked, my anger rising back up to its previous level.“After nearly seven years of being in a relationship with that woman, you decided t
