"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
"Noah, baby, hold the knife with Aria," Natalia said to Noah when she noticed his upset face.Noah listened to his mother and held the knife, and then both of the children cut the cake.At first, they fed the cake to their mother. Adrian stared at them, avoiding looking at Natalia.Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Lynda lowered her head. She was about to step back when Grace stopped her."Lynda, come here."Lynda walked to the kids with a fake smile on her face."Happy Birthday, babies," she said to the twins.Aria looked frightened. Meanwhile, Noah was glaring at her.Natalia tightened her fists when she saw her twins' reactions.She shot a glare at Adrian.He was the reason her children were acting that way. That woman terrified them to the point where they could not hide their emotions or express them to others.Adrian was not looking at her. She looked away with a sigh of irritation.The party proceeded smoothly. The other Alphas spoke with Natalia and inquired abou
When Max placed the ring in Natalia's hand, everyone around them started clapping.Some of the guests were clapping with concern. They were puzzled. A few days ago, they heard rumors that Alpha Adrian was pursuing Natalia.They were unsure whether the rumors were true or not. They were afraid of offending Adrian if this was true.Max stood up after kissing the back of Natalia's hand.Natalia hugged him with a smile."Thank you for not making me regret my decision," she muttered in a low tone.He wrapped his arms around her and whispered into her ear."I told you, I like you. That was why I wanted you to be with me. I only want you to be happy."They chuckled as they broke the hug.Meanwhile, sitting on a couch in a far distance, a man was piercing his gaze on them.He tightened his grip on the glass he was holding. The pressure he applied to the glass caused it to shatter inside his palm in a matter of seconds."Alpha!"Theta Emon let out a gasp.All the officials turned to Adrian and
All of the officials were stunned. Adrian saw Natalia leaving the party with Max. She did not even bother to glance at him for once."Where are you going?" Beta Patric asked him.Adrian remained silent and reached for the suit jacket he had removed and placed on the couch a while ago.He walked past everyone and made his way to the entrance. His jacket was hiding his wounded hand."Adrian."He stopped his steps and turned around.Lynda approached him and looked at him softly."You didn't even talk to me during the whole party. Are you starting to see me as a stranger?"She continued to move her wrist, which appeared swollen. Adrian's eyes landed on her hand. It reminded him of how Natalia had hurt her."Go to the pack hospital to get your hand treated. I don't think it's a major wound since you can move it."After saying that, he turned around and headed to the entrance once again.Lynda's jaw tightened as she fixed her gaze on his back."Even though he knows that woman hurt me, he is
Adrian's POV'Home?'Adrian thought, and he glanced behind Amanda. The sight of his home caused his eyes to become dark.It had been a very long time since he had entered his home. So many years had passed. That was the home he and Natalia shared once.This place was starting to feel lonely to him after Natalia left. Therefore, he made the decision to never return.However, after so many years, he came here. He desired to experience loneliness once more. But it was not the whole truth. With that loneliness, Natalia's memories were here too."How are you, Amanda?"His question shocked Amanda. He had never asked that to her before. Her expectation was that he would return home, but he never did. She was upset that Natalia had divorced Adrian. She had seen how that girl used to stay here alone in this house without her husband.Sometimes, she slept on the couch in the living room while waiting for Adrian to return. But she always felt her heart was broken.Later, when Adrian took another
Adrian’s POVI stared at the diary for a while. The brown hardcover of the diary caught my attention. It was soft yet hard, and its mesmerizing paint was visible on top of it.I sighed and stood up from the bed. With the diary in my hand, I left the room, glancing around for the last time.When I closed the door behind me, I saw Amanda outside the room."Alpha, Doctor Harold is here to treat you."I frowned at her. "Who told him that I'm here?"She lowered her head in response. I did not need to take time to understand that it was she who informed Harold and asked him to come here to treat my wound."Tell him to come to the study room.""Yes, Alpha."Amanda left to call Harold while I walked in the direction of the study room.I opened the door and found the room clean, indicating that the maids clean this room every day.After shutting the door, I made my way to my chair. After sitting on the chair, I put the diary on the table and moved it aside.After a few minutes, Harold came to
