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
I drove the car to my company's apartment. On the way, I sent a message to the person I needed to talk to the most.When I arrived at my company's apartment, I pulled over my car and got out of it. I saw many cars there, indicating to me that all of my officials were inside my house.The moment I walked inside the house, I saw them seated on the couches. When they noticed me, they stood up from the couches."Are you alright, Alpha?" Theta Emon asked. The tone of concern lingered in his voice."I'm fine."I strolled over to the couches and took a seat. I was tired, but my mind was thinking about something else."Are there any commands for us to follow?" Gamma Benjamin asked.I glanced at Patric, who gave me a suspicious look. He was my best friend for a reason. He understood my state of mind. He realized that something was not quite right.“What happened?” he asked.I told them what I found in Natalia's diary about Lynda.They were looking at me with shocked expressions. But Patric loo
Third POVDespite the fact that Lynda was completely unaware of the reason why Adrian had called her, she was filled with joy on the inside. It was true that when she saw all of his officials in his house, she felt a little taken aback.On the other hand, that was completely unrelated to her. Adrian himself called her.She was feeling hypnotized as she gazed at the dashing man who was sitting in front of her. All these years, she had wrapped him around her fingers, so when suddenly he asked for a breakup and told her that he loved Natalia, she was shocked.Since Natalia was running after Max, instead of solving everything with Adrian, it was easy for Lynda to take Adrian back to her.Adrian signaled for Lynda to sit next to him. Lynda went to sit next to him on the couch while maintaining a cheerful expression on her face.During this time, every single official appeared to be anxious. They exchanged a quick glance with one another, unsure of what Adrian would do next.Adrian asked Ly
Lynda took a step back, and Gamma Benjamin came dangerously close to colliding with her. However, he grabbed her arms and moved her away from him.When Lynda caught a glimpse of him, she was filled with fear because he appeared to be a beast who could attack her at any moment.She averted her gaze and looked at Adrian with a nervous face."Adrian, why are you saying that? When did I do this?"Adrian did not stand up; instead, he leaned his back against the couch as if he were not in a bad mood.When Lynda saw Patric handing him a cigarette and lighting it for him, she swallowed her breath.She was frightened by Adrian and each of his officials.Only one question roamed in her mind:'How did Adrian get to know about this?'After a collection of thoughts, she dared ask him a question."Did Natalia tell you this? Adrian, she lied to you."Adrian stared at her. His face looked cloudy from the fog coming out of his mouth and spreading around him.She made her way over to him and sat down o
Adrian's POVI had lost my mind when Lynda said that. It was impossible for me to hear any bullshit about that woman. It was already too late for me to make amends with her. I was realizing it with passing seconds.I was feeling regretful that I had not given her my attention when she required it, that I had not shown her that I cared when she specifically requested it, and that I had failed to love her when she had shown that she loved me.Lynda's eyes were widened by my action. I was still holding the cigarette between my fingers while grabbing her neck.My officials hurried to me as they grabbed my hand and pulled me away from Lynda.The realization dawned on me that I had lost my mind for a second.With a look of disbelief on her face, Lynda looked at me. Tears began to form in her eyes."This is what you are giving me for loving you all these years?"Her question was emotional, but it did not work on me. I gave her a stern look and inquired,"Why did you do that? What was the poi
Taking a deep breath, Hazel knew she had to tell them everything."That witch's powers were imprisoned with ash in a jar, and the door had been locked for years. My sister-in-law, Ansel, is the coven's second highest-ranking witch after that woman. So, all these years, Ansel tried her hardest to break the door and free the powers so that she could take over them.So when Natalia broke the door, the powers were freed, and Ansel possessed them all. Now she is the most powerful witch."Natalia recalled what had happened in that room. She had assumed she would die, but she did not.Hazel stepped toward Natalia and said,"Sister, I am sorry for what happened to you. But I had nothing in my hands. I was not alone. My child was with me. So I had to follow whatever they told me. The only thing I could do was not open the door. Before you opened it, I used to tell them that I had not found the door."Natalia's eyes lowered as she noticed Hazel caressing her own stomach.Natalia's eyes blurred
Natalia was shocked as her eyes widened. She heard something she could not believe."Y-Your child? H-How?" she mumbled.She felt as though the sky had fallen on her. She was not in a state to feel anything. She was confused and puzzled.Jason sighed and looked at her.“I met her in her pack. There was never anything between her and Adrian. The child is mine, and I spent a night with her a few months ago."Natalia shook her head. Her hand slipped away from Jason's hand."That's not possible. She manipulated you, brother. You have never talked about her. And why did she lie when the child is not Adrian's? Why is he even trying to protect her? He himself admitted that that child is his."Hazel looked at Natalia and stepped toward her. Natalia raised a hand, stopping her from approaching her. "Don't. You can manipulate everyone but me. I didn't forget how you warned me to leave Adrian's life."Hazel clenched her jaw and said angrily, "I also warned you about that door. Why did you break i
Natalia was in disbelief. "Do you think I am a fool? You can not just show up and make a fool of me. At first, your Alpha said that Hazel is nothing to him, then he let her stay in the pack house. Later, he claimed that the child she was carrying was not his, and I believed him again. But what about now?"Her questions pierced like daggers toward Patric. He lowered his head in defeat. "I know you have to tolerate a lot.""Tolerate a lot? All of my life, I have been only suffering for your Alpha. He said he wants me to leave this pack."Natalia could not stop herself from telling Patric everything that hurt her heart."He smashed my love in front of my brother. He told him to take me away with him. Can you imagine how well I controlled myself at that time?"She leaned back against her chair, closing her eyes and shaking her head. "It is all because of my children. I am bearing everything just for them."Patric took a deep breath and said, "I came back yesterday. I have collected all of
Natalia was shocked when his lips touched hers.She tried to push him. But Adrian did not let her go.He felt sharp pain in his head as if something was exploding inside. His hands wrapped around her waist, pressing his body against hers.As though he had been longing for it, his rough kiss turned desperate.Natalia became so enraged that she shoved him with her wolf strength.He retrieved a few steps back. Natalia growled at him."How dare you do that?"His brows shot up as if he was confused by his own action. His gaze roamed around the floor until they lifted up to look at her.As if his eyes could change colors, they turned dark brown, and suddenly they flashed red for a moment.She recalled that before the accident he looked like that."Get out of this room right now," she said, glaring at him. She did not want to see him.He did not move as he stared at her with a pair of lost eyes.When she saw he was not moving, she opened the door and walked out of the room.There was no way
Natalia's eyes were on the door. She had seen Hazel leaving the house. For some reason, she guessed who she went after.'What is her relationship with my brother?' she thought."Miss Natalia"She looked away from the door and turned to Alpha Jonas. She smiled at him.This noon, when Adrian sent the necklace to her, she was surprised at first but scoffed after learning his words from Damia.She knew this man could never care for her. He was a devil in disguise who was showing his true colors with passing time.So when Alpha Jonas called her today to ask what she would like to have, she told him that she desired a necklace. She wanted to wear it in front of Adrian to mock him."The more I see you, the more I feel like I have never seen this much beauty," he remarked with a chuckle.Natalia grinned at him and said, "Alpha Jonas is flirting with me. Does his girlfriend know about it?"In a blink of a second, all the color washed away from his face.Natalia noticed this, lifted her hand, a
Adrian tried to think why did Jason make an alliance with them in the first place. What exactly did he want?He was able to see the expressions of shock plastered across the faces of all of the Leightons. They were not expecting this. To them, it was like a blow to the head.Adrian assumed that Jason did that because Natalia wanted it. But Natalia's eyes were hazel all the time. Her eyes kept observing her when her brother was talking to her.Ansel's anger caused his fingers to become more firmly gripped on the jewelry boxes. The old Leighton looked mad at Jason while Rick appeared to be fierce."You will pay for it, Alpha Jason," Ansel said, leaving the room.Her husband and the old Leighton followed her behind as if she were the main member of the family.Jason rolled his eyes. He turned his head to Adrian and said,"You will be next to face something like this."It was a warning.Adrian did not like it when he said that in front of other businessmen.Jason gave Natalia a small smil
Adrian's eyes darkened when Natalia smiled with her red lips and looked in another direction.Adrian's gaze shifted on the way and found Alpha Jonas grinning at Natalia."A beautiful necklace for a precious woman. I have always admired her when she was the CEO of her father's company. She is a pure beauty. It's bad luck that she decided to stay here. But if you want to come with me, I will not take any mistress for my whole life."Adrian glared at the man as he found his words mocking toward him.Jason scoffed at Jonas and said, "She is a stubborn woman. She doesn't listen to anyone. Otherwise, Alpha Adrian is ready to leave her. Isn't it Alpha Adrian?"Jason's gaze met Adrian's like a clash colliding.Hazel was about to say something, but Ansel shook her head at her.Natalia walked toward her brother and let out a chuckle. "Let's focus on the birthday girl. Looks like I took all the limelight away from her."Hazel stared at Natalia. There were some untold words that were conveyed thr
Adrian left the company, neglecting the idea of having lunch with Patric.He got inside the car and told his driver to drive to a restaurant.He was on his way back to the company after lunch when he received a message from Ansel informing him that tonight was Hazel's birthday and that he should give her a present.Adrian's car stopped in front of a jewelry shop. He went inside the shop and told the staff to pack something that would look good on a young woman.A female employee approached him and showed him a few designs. Adrian was not interested in choosing, but his eyes fell on a beautiful necklace.He did not know why, but looking at the necklace, his mind reflected Natalia's face."Pack this one."The female employee smiled at him and packed the necklace. When she was about to hand it to him, he said,"I told you to pick one."The woman was stunned. "Oh, you want another one?"She thought he was going to buy only one necklace. The woman picked the best design and showed it to Ad
When the elevator door opened and they arrived at the first floor, Adrian gave him a stern look and was ready to reprimand him.Adrian exited the elevator first, and Patric followed, intending to go check on Adrian's condition with the pack doctor.At that time, they ran into Benjamin.Adrian took a halt when Benjamin bowed to him.With a pair of cold eyes, Adrian said to him,"I warned you to stay away from that woman. She is not good for our pack."Benjamin lowered his head before glancing at Patric. Patric was staring at him. He exhaled and returned his gaze to Adrian."Alpha, she is my Luna. It is my responsibility to protect her when everyone is against her."Adrian tightened his fists while glaring at Benjamin. Meanwhile, Patric focused his gaze on Adrian. "Didn't you say you don't like her? Why do you care if Benjamin roams around her? You want her to leave this pack anyway."Gamma Benjamin was shocked. He shook his head as he realized Adrian had misunderstood his pure intentio
