"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
Third POV"How long are you going to stare at her? Go and tell her what is on your mind," Beta Patric said to Adrian.Adrian's gaze lingered on Natalia. He saw how she was talking to Lynda. His keen eyes picked up on the way she twisted Lynda's wrist.But for the first time, he did not want to go between the two women. He was curious to know how far Natalia would go.He thought back to the last time she broke Lynda's hand."What is Lynda doing here?" Adrian asked Patric.Asking Delta Julian to come to the bar area, Patric mindlinked with him.As soon as Delta Julian came, Patric said,"You had the guest list. Have you extended an invitation to Lynda?"Adrian looked at Julian to know the answer. Because he did not invite Lynda to this party."No way. In fact, I double-checked the guest list. She was nowhere on that list.""Does that mean she came here without an invitation?" Patric asked.Adrian turned his gaze to Lynda. Then he saw his mother approaching her with some guests. By looki
