Adrian let out a ferocious growl. He threw the tab on the floor when he saw some pictures of the night when he broke up with Lynda.Someone clicked photos of Lynda and him when Lynda was trying to kiss him. Though he did not let her kiss him that night, the photos looked the opposite.From that angle, it looked like they were making out.Adrian was already in a terrible mood. The news and the rumors that were not true hit him like a ton of bricks."What nonsense! Who dares to upload those photos?"Upon hearing this, his secretary lowered his head in response. It was evident that he did not know anything about it."Which news agency is it?""Moonlight Star," the secretary replied.Adrian tightened his fists as he muttered,"Call that company and talk to them about it. Ask them what headline they make about Alpha Adrian."Almost immediately, his secretary gathered the number of the company and then called the company using his own personal number.When a man received the call, the secre
Natalia's POV"Natalia, why don't you have lunch with us?"My mother asked when I was about to leave the house.When I turned around, I saw her approaching me. She was in my brother's room in the morning."Mom, you know Miss Liana is not at the coffee shop. I need to open the shop right now. Everyone who works there is currently on their way to the shop. I got late today since I didn't wake up in the early morning.""But, my child, health is important too.""Mom, I will eat something there. I don't want to disappoint Liana."“I am sure you didn't give her any reason to be disappointed with you. You are such a hard-working employee. There is no doubt that she is very pleased with you.”I gave my mother a hug and tried to persuade her that I was unable to make it to lunch with them.When I just turned around at the door, my legs froze.A frown appeared in my face when I saw a car that I was familiar with coming to a stop in front of my house. I could clearly see the man getting out of
Adrian's words took me by surprise."Did you come here all the way just to tell me that the rumor is fake?" I asked him with disbelief."Adrian, have you lost your mind?"He let out a sigh as if he were relieved. He lifted his head and rubbed the back of his neck, averting his gaze away from me.I heard him muttering,"I thought you would misunderstand me."I raised a brow. There was something odd about him. I could see that he was behaving strangely."Why would I misunderstand you? I don't have anything to do with you. I have my own boyfriend now. I don't care about anyone else's breakup or patch-up," I replied with a grin.I thought about Max. I was impressed by the way he let everyone know he liked me.I glanced at Adrian, who stared at me. His eyes darkened as if he did not like what I had just said."You should not have accepted that man. He is not good for you.""Excuse me?"He stepped toward me, which caused me to take a step back. He stepped inside my house, and his eyes roame
Third POVNatalia was speechless. She could only stare at Adrian as all the pain came to her in flashbacks.She almost forgot everything and tried to start a new life. But it looked like this man could never let her forget anything."Sorry for what? For hurting me? For humiliating me? Keep showing me my place in your eyes?"Her question left him shaken. For the first time, he felt his heart burning while looking into her eyes.It was because she opened up her emotions and allowed him to see the condition of her broken heart.He clenched his jaw as his heart started to beat faster.He wanted to hug this woman and told her that he was apologizing for everything, though he knew she would never forgive him."What about meeting after many years? What did you do? Was it Lynda who forced you to separate my children from me? Was she the one who forced you to insult my parents? What about the days I had to suffer for you?"She yanked her hand away from his grip and stepped backward."I hate yo
Natalia turned around and saw her father. He did not seem pleased to see Adrian there.Natalia yanked her hand away from Adrian and moved away from him."Dad," she mumbled.Alpha Martin walked up to her and looked at Adrian."All hail to the head Alpha," he said, bowing his head to him.Natalia clenched her fists around her dress in an attempt to control her anger. Her father had never bowed to another Alpha before.It was because his son eventually took over as the head alpha after he had been one for a while. He was not required to bow down to his son in order to be respectful.But now, he was bound to bow his head toward Adrian.All the old pain washed away from her heart as they reminded her of the hatred she felt for Adrian."Raise," Adrian said to Alpha Martin, glancing at Natalia.Alpha Martin stood straight and looked at him. "Is there anything we can do to help, Alpha?"His voice was emotionless but professional. He did not forget how to talk with a head Alpha, and at the sam
Alpha Martin's eyes widened. But then it was surrounded by darkness. The air of mystery hit him as he stared at the mysterious man, Alpha Adrian.There was no way this man could love someone. The man who only knew how to rule packs without any emotions could never love someone. Martin could never forget how Natalia had to pass her days alone. He could never forget the condition in which Jason found Natalia in the forest."Alpha Adrian, you are the great Alpha who has many packs under your rule. I can only request that you let my daughter go."His reply made Adrian growl. He could talk softly with Natalia, but not with her father.His aura changed as he walked toward the middle-aged man. This man was still strong enough to walk with all of his strength, giving off the vibe of how he used to rule a pack a few years ago."I think you didn't listen to me carefully. I said, 'I love your daughter'."His voice came out as a warning to Alpha Martin.Alpha Martin stared at him calmly."I am h
He got up from the couch while looking at the photo.Alpha Martin saw his reaction and mumbled,"It was a photo that a border guard sent me many years ago when I was the Alpha of the Blue Blood Pack."Adrian's hand trembled as he stared at the photo. "That's..."He could not let out a word from his mouth as his heart shook in pain.Alpha Martin glanced at the photo and said,"This photo was taken when my border guard saw my son taking a rogue girl to the pack hospital. The girl's clothes were ripped and stained with dirt and her blood. She was so hurt that she passed out. It took her a long time to wake up and heal her wounds. She was traumatized after divorcing her husband. Because she was still in love with him."Adrian curled his fingers tightly as he could not tear his eyes off of the photo.Natalia looked horrible in that state. She looked like she was dead. The wounds on her body were so deep that they soaked her clothes."My heart sank when I saw her in that state, Alpha. My so
Adrian stared at Alpha Martin for a while.He looked like a broken father who could only beg for his daughter's life."I have already lost my child. I can't lose another one."Adrian tightened his grip around the doorknob. He felt his heart turn cold.The cloud of emotion changed into darkness in his eyes as he nodded his head."I granted your request."After saying that, Adrian left the study room.Alpha Martin could not believe his ears. Did he hear right? Did he really finally convince Alpha Adrian to stay away from his daughter's life?He followed Adrian behind while glancing at him. He had heard a lot about Adrian when he was the head of Alpha.In fact, his father, Alpha Lucas, was in a good relationship with him. But everything changed when someone stole Natalia when they were coming to visit this pack.They tried to find her everywhere but could not get her. From then on, he stopped every connection with this pack.As soon as they reached the living room, Natalia stood up from
