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
Natalia's POVAs soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Beta Patric outside. He glanced at the door behind me, then shifted his gaze to me.This man was always there for his Alpha.I greeted him with a nod and walked past him. I did not give a damn about what Adrian was going to plan next to make my life hell.I would fight against it.'Why does he always try to get close to me? When I was married to him, he used to stay out of the house to avoid seeing my face. Was it his wolf who wanted to get close to me?'I recalled his wolf in the war. But did he allow his wolf to take over him?I shoved all the thoughts away from my mind and returned to the party.There, I met Delta Julian. I was searching for my purse, which I forgot somewhere.Julian handed me the bag and asked,"Are you looking for this?""Yeah, thanks a lot."I took out my phone and noticed a number of missed calls from Max's number.I bit my tongue because of my careless behavior. I immediately called Max to tell him where
"Natalia."I turned my attention back to Alpha Lucas. He was a good person. I could see gratefulness in his eyes. I saved him, and he did not forget it."How are your parents doing? Are they doing alright in this pack?"I gave a small smile and lowered my head. "How can they be, uncle? You know, as the former Alpha and Luna, they felt humiliated when they had to leave their own pack and seek shelter in the pack that had won their home."Alpha Lucas raised his hand and placed it on my head. I looked at him."I have heard about your brother's treatment. Doctor Max is an excellent healer. I believe he will do something."I turned my head and looked around the hall, only to find Max conversing with another man.I understood that it might be the beta of his pack. Max's eyes locked with mine, and he smiled at me.I smiled at him back, which did not go unnoticed by Adrian's father."Are you two really close?"I blushed when he asked me that question. "Yeah, you can say that."Alpha Lucas sta
I looked at Gamma Benjamin with a frown. He gave me a brief glance before shrugging his shoulders. He noticed Theta Emon was coming our way, so he immediately said,"Forget what I just said."After saying that, he left my side. I stared at his back for a while.His words went beyond my head.I turned around to glance at Adrian, who was not looking at me anymore.Sitting on a stool in the bar, he was sipping a glass of wine.'What are you cooking up in your head, Adrian? There is no way you can think of me without plotting against me,' I reasoned as I looked at him."Stop staring at him. You can't seduce him. He is mine."I recognized a familiar voice. I let out an annoyed sigh. Why did this woman come to me?With a smile, I turned to face her. "Hello, Lynda."Lynda appeared to be stunned by my grin. She was dressed in a hot red dress. Her clothing choice almost made me disgusted.It was a birthday party for children, not a bachelor party where she wore such a short dress.If it were s
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
