My gaze was fixed on Natalia. It appeared as though she was taken aback by my presence. In her gaze, I could see fear."Mom, that uncle–" Aria was about to say something when Natalia interrupted her by asking, "Aria, Noah, why did you come here?"While holding her hand, Noah responded, "We were missing you, Mom.”I could not believe what was happening in front of me. How could she have children?There might be some misunderstanding.I stepped toward them and looked at Natalia directly."Are they your children?"As if she were attempting to shield her children from me, Natalia firmly grasped the hands of her children and pushed them behind her.I raised my brow in surprise. Did she think I would hurt those kids?She cleared her throat and responded, "It's none of your business.”She made every effort to avoid looking into my eyes. She glanced at Patric, who appeared to be in disbelief as well. Then she turned around and walked in another direction.Arian and Noah turned their heads to
The following day, I was working in my office when I heard someone knocking on the door of my cabin."Come in."I saw Beta Patric entering my cabin. He was not alone. He came with another young man.The young man bowed to me and said,"All hail to our Alpha."I did not respond to him. I was already swamped. Just one thing I was curious about was the reason this man came here.I looked at Patric. He spoke out,"He is Blake. He is our spy who came here with information about Eric."It drew my attention as I turned to Blake."What did you find about him?"Blake handed over a file to me and bowed his head."Everything is inside the file, Alpha. We will not disclose anything to anyone until you give us permission to do so.""You can leave now."Blake bowed to me again and left my cabin.I glanced at Patric, who was also eager to open the file to learn about Beta Eric.When I opened the file, I realized that it was Beta Eric’s bio data. I started to read Beta Eric's personal information.It
Natalia's POVIt had been two days since I had returned to the Blue Blood Pack after attending the council event. I was really scared that day.The way I saw Adrian with my children almost took my breath away from me. I thought he learned about the truth.But fate was on my side. He did not create any problems there.I assumed that he did not care about where they came from or whose children they were.It was good for me. The only thing I could do was pray that he would never show any interest in this matter."Mom, what are you thinking?" Aria asked.She was sitting on the bed while looking at me.I stopped combing my hair and realized that I was occupied in my thoughts while standing in front of the mirror for a long time.After turning my attention to Aria, I responded, "Nothing, baby.”I made my way over to her and sat down next to her. When she hugged me, I couldn't help but give her a warm grin."Mom, Noah is not looking fine."I was stunned by her words. I looked at her and cupp
A few days had passed.There were a few adjustments that were made to my daily life.These days, I get up early in order to go to the office on time. To get a better understanding of everything, I was given a position in the financial department. I tried to understand the thoughts of employees, too.By doing so, I was able to comprehend what they were considering with regard to our business and determine whether or not they were loyal to us.People thought of me as an ordinary employee like them. They had no idea that I would be their CEO very soon.In these few days, I saw a slight change in Noah's behavior. I questioned him about it, and he responded by saying, "I don't like that uncle.”I was surprised when he talked to me about Adrian. There was something strange in Noah's eyes, but I was unable to make out what it was. So, I chose to refrain from asking him any questions regarding Adrian.On the other hand, Aria liked Adrian in one meeting. She kept talking about him to me. I onl
Eric put the call on speakerphone."Is my ex-wife with you?" Adrian asked the moment Eric received the call.It was the same way that he always spoke to me in the past; his voice was cold and harsh.Eric gave me a quick glance. Then, in response, I gave him a nod."Yes, she's right next to me," Eric replied."Is Natalia really with you?" Again, Adrian questioned him as if he did not trust what he was saying.This time, his voice came out as laced with rage. It sounded like he was quite angry.After hearing him, I was filled with wrath. Did he think Eric was lying to him? Why would he?The only thing I wanted was to find out the reason behind his calling.Instead of Eric, I replied to Adrian,"What else, Alpha Adrian?"Adrian was caught off guard by my abrupt engagement in conversation. He remained quiet for a while before finally breaking his silence and said,"I would advise you two not to be so pushy. We haven't gone through the official rejection ceremony yet."I grabbed the phone f
Hanging up the phone, I let out a deep, long sigh of worry.There was complete and utter silence in the cabin. I placed Eric’s phone on the desk.While resting my palms on the desk, I could not help but think of going back to visit Adrian's father, Alpha Lucas. I decided to come back to this pack soon after meeting with him.“Are you sure you want to go to that pack? It can be dangerous for you. I don't believe that man.”“Don’t worry. I'll be fine.""Then let me drive you there." Eric said it in a warm voice."No, thanks. I'm there to visit his father, not to provoke him. You'll only intensify the conflict by driving me there."“But how will yo—?”I interrupted him and replied,“That pack is right next to ours. I'll just drive myself."- - -In the evening, I stopped working. After getting up from my chair, I exited the cabin and went outside.By going to the lobby area, I was able to observe employees taking their leaves for today.With a grin on her face, Damia came up to me. "Miss
I was completely taken aback by Aria's question."Handsome Uncle?" I inquired with a look of deep bewilderment.She responded, "Yeah, that uncle we met at the airport."I was able to make out a bright smile and a look of excitement on Aria's face. Within me, I could feel a throbbing pain in my chest.She was talking about her father!I took a deep breath and replied,"Aria, don't talk about that man again, okay?""Why, Mom?""My baby, he is a stranger. I told you that day, right? By the way, Mommy is going to pay a visit to another person who is in critical health.”She lowered her head and pursed her lips in a deep sigh. After a while, she showed that she was a good child by nodding her head.I was fixated on her. Why did she keep bringing up Adrian in everyday conversation? Why could she not forget just one meeting?Was it because he was her father?I noticed Aria started drawing again. I ran my hand over her hair and asked,"What are you drawing?"When she turned to face me, she di
"Miss, we are here."I heard a knocking sound and a voice calling me.After opening my eyes, I immediately closed them again as a light came into contact with them. I sat up straight and rubbed my eyes.I slowly opened my eyes and yawned. I turned my head to the window, where I discovered the driver standing outside. I was surprised to see him there.As I rolled down the window, I looked at him. At that moment, he bowed to me and announced, "Miss, we have arrived.”With a frown on my face, I switched my attention to the other window. It dawned on me that the car was standing outside of the Crystal Blood Pack's pack hospital."What the hell!" I muttered in a low tone.I did not expect my driver to take me to the hospital directly. I had the thought that I would go to the hotel and get a room, then once I had changed my clothes and freshened up, I would go to visit Alpha Lucas.But here we were, in the pack hospital.I looked at the driver, who looked nervous based on the way I appeared
