"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
When Max left the study room, I tried to think about what he meant.'She can get any man she wants? Does she want Max? Does she like him? Why? What is in him that makes her want him?'So many questions flowed through my mind. I wanted to ignore them, but they kept roaming in my head.My eyes moved to the desk where I put Natalia's diary.Suddenly, I became very curious to see her handwriting and to know what she wrote inside it.I stood up, went to the desk, and took a seat in my chair behind the desk.I grabbed the diary and opened it.My brows lifted when the first page appeared in my eyes.It was adorned with a photograph from our wedding. There was a small note written underneath it."My married life with the person I love the most."My fingers curled as I read the line again and again. It was just the day we married; how could she write that she had loved me the most?I turned the page and started to read.There were many details about me. She thought of me as her superhero becau
"I am trying to learn Adrian's favorite things. Mom said Adrian likes stargazers. I was overjoyed to finally know about his favorite flower.I went to a flower shop and bought some fresh stargazers. The saleswoman was very sweet. When she heard I was buying the flower for my husband, she made a perfect bouquet for me.But it seemed like Adrian no longer liked this flower. Or I could say he did not like it when I bought it for him. It was my first time giving him something.All of my excitement was crushed when he threw the bouquet in the dustbin and said to me,'Everything can turn into ashes with the touch of your hand.'I cried after coming back to the bedroom. Why did he dislike me so much?"I closed my eyes as I put Natalia's diary on the desk. I leaned my head back against the chair.I did not realize the feelings she was expressing through those flowers. I had no idea she used to love me and care for me.That time, only one thing was fixed on my mind, and that was that she was a
"No, No. How is that even possible?" I muttered, grabbing my head with my hands while shaking it in stress.I recalled the days when Lynda told me how Natalia slapped her, cursed her, abused her, and even threw her out of the house because she just wanted to wait for me there."Did she really lie to me?"I remembered that I always scolded Natalia because of Lynda. It was because Lynda kept talking about Natalia all the time. She urged me to divorce her as soon as possible.But I always ignored her request since, somewhere in my heart, I did not want to divorce Natalia. In fact, my wolf wanted her.I only scared her about divorce, but it was never my plan.I glanced at the diary and shut it. Though there were many more pages to read, I closed it.I had no patience to read since I wanted to know something else.I needed to ask Lynda why she did that.I rose up from the chair and walked to the window. I saw the sun begin to rise.I wondered how long I had been reading that diary. I did s
