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
After hearing her response, I put my hands on the desk."Don't call him. Call Alpha Lucas and tell him that Nat-""Hello,"Before I could complete it, she spoke out and interrupted me. It looked like the person had already received the call.A sigh came out of my mouth as I took my hands off the desk."Beta Patric, is Alpha on your side?"My gaze was fixed on the woman. Didn't she say she would call Adrian? Why did she call Patric? Or did she want to pretend that she had their head Alpha's number?Considering that the reception area was very calm, I was able to pick up on what the other person was saying to her."No, he is in the meeting right now." Patric replied to her.With a very nice tone, the woman addressed him and said, "Sir, we need to ask him something.”"He won't be free for one hour. What's the matter?" Patric asked."Sir, someone came to meet Alpha's father," the woman said while eyeing me.She became aware that I was paying attention to what she was saying. As a result,
FOUR YEARS LATER ...Under the leadership of Alpha and Luna, the Crystal Pack had grown into a formidable pack. Everyone used to be afraid of Alpha Adrian, but after his Luna joined him, the fear doubled because they were the power couple in the werewolf world."Luna Natalia,"The maids bowed to the stunning woman as she walked glamorously through the corridors. She gave them nods as she passed them.Other Lunas were envious of her, finding it hard to believe a woman could possess such powerful abilities. She was an Alpha female and not only that, she was giant like her mate.It was as if they were both moon children, destined to be together forever.In the past few years, Natalia has experienced every stage of her life with her husband, and time has passed very slowly with each passing year. Her life had completely changed. Her opinions, her way of thinking, her way of talking, her etiquette, and many other things had changed. However, what did not change was her heart. She cared
After the crown ceremony,Natalia glanced at Grace, considering taking Adelia to the bedroom."Mom, you must be tired from holding her.""No, it's okay. Amanda was there with me all the time."Natalia moved her hand up. “She is asleep. You can—”Adrian came over to her and stopped her. "You can leave her to Mom. I am sure she can handle her. You look worn out anyway."Natalia was stunned. She shot him a look. Adrian shrugged his shoulders and walked up the stairs."Mom, don't listen to him."Grace shook her head and replied, "He is right. You were very busy throughout the day. Take a rest tonight. I will take care of Adelia."Natalia let out a sigh and agreed to her. She glanced at the sleeping baby and went to the bedroom.When she entered the bedroom, she found the whole room was empty.She shut the door and took off her crown. She carefully placed it inside the closet, next to the dagger.As she finished removing all of her jewelry, the bathroom door opened.She turned her head onl
A Few Months Later"I, Adrian Miller, Alpha King, declare Natalia Miller to be the Luna and Queen of my packs."Everyone applauded when Adrian placed the crown on Natalia's head.Natalia gave Adrian a smile. He wore a black robe embroidered with spells designed by the coven of the Black Haw pack. They sent it as a present to embrace their new head Alpha.Natalia lifted her white gown and descended from the stage, clutching Adrian's arm.It reminded her of her wedding day.Hazel and Jason came toward them and hugged each other."Where is John?" Natalia asked about their child.They pointed to Jade, who was holding their child, while Grace stood next to her, holding Natalia and Adrian's child, Adelia.The two women appeared to be the happiest women in the world today."Alpha Adrian, Luna Natalia,"They turned around after hearing a familiar voice.It was Alpha Wade. Beside him was Tyra, Eric's mate. During their conversation, Alpha Wade said,"I am planning to marry Tyra off soon."Nata
Days passed as the delivery date of Natalia's child was coming.Things had changed in Natalia's life in the last few months.Everyone was doting on her. The person who cared for her the most was her husband.Adrian always came home early to spend time with Natalia and his children. He said he wanted to give most of his time to Natalia during her pregnancy period.Natalia had noticed Adrian's growing impatience to see his baby in recent months. His face was always lit up with excitement.She used to have this dream when she was pregnant a few years ago.Adrian never allowed her to do any work. He was always curious about her preferences for food and activities. He even canceled his meetings whenever she felt sick. When she was down, he always surprised her with a gift to lift her spirits.He did not pass up any opportunity to spoil her. In fact, her own family claimed Adrian had spoiled her too much.She felt as if everything was a dream, and she wanted to stay in it forever."Adrian,
Everyone returned to the pack house.Natalia was lying in bed. The private doctor was checking on her."You are lucky the baby is fine," she said."Thank you, doctor. Please check on Hazel too," Natalia said to her.The doctor gave her a nod and then left the room.Natalia looked at the people who entered the room after the doctor left.Martin Hansley and Jade Hansley hugged their daughter. Meanwhile, Lucas Miller and Grace Miller lowered their heads.Natalia smiled at them, saying, "Mom, Dad."They looked at her with apologies."Forgive us, dear," Lucas said as he approached the bed.Grace hugged Natalia and said sorry to her for everything they had done in the past few days."It was not your fault. You all were influenced. I should be sorry for losing my temper and saying those rubbish things."They shook their heads and said they would never have a daughter-in-law like her. She was more like a daughter to them.“How is everyone?”“Doctor Max treated them. Benjamin was in critical c
Natalia was astounded by what she witnessed. Then she realized that the man was old Leighton's twin brother."Natalia"She heard her mother's voice. She turned her and found her and Adrian's parents. She noticed her mother-in-law also looked worried for her.She limped, trying to walk toward them.At that time a witch ran toward her, but a wolf came between and bit the witch's leg, slamming her to the ground.Natalia realized Eric was the one who saved her. She smiled at him. He gave her a nod before sprinting back toward Jason.Today, the three men in her life who once loved her are protecting her.Natalia realized that no matter how powerful you are, there will come a time when everyone needs each other.She went to her mother and hugged her. Her mother-in-law, Grace, shed tears as she also hugged her.Denis Leighton stepped toward Adrian and bowed to him."Alpha"Natalia was stunned to see the old man lowering his head toward Adrian.Adrian released Ansel's neck and took a step bac
Max was standing behind Natalia. He patted Natalia's shoulder and wrapped his arm around her. "Perfect shot."Adrian noticed how securely Max was holding Natalia. His eyes turned pale as he remembered Natalia's words.If she had been with Max, she would have been happy. Getting married to him again ruined her life.Adrian turned around and saw Ansel's arm. It was pierced by a digger rather than a simple knife.He recalled it and realized it was the dagger marked on the back of Natalia's neck. She was a healer who could kill anyone with her dagger, which was filled with her poisonous blood.He did not know about its ability toward the witches or wizards, but she had killed Doctor Harold with that knife. After that, she never touched it again."Thanks, Max," Natalia said to Max.When she called Max yesterday, he asked for help. She asked for the tonics that could help wolves and the dagger, which she used when she needed it. Max arrived at the right time to help her.The fire went out,
Everyone was staring at Adrian, who was mercilessly beating Rick. They could not believe that he had recalled everything.Natalia was surprised as well. Did that mean he remembered everything? Every moment in their lives that they had spent together?"No! No! No! Stop him!"Ansel yelled at her people. They rushed to Adrian, but he growled at them, which caused them to stop in their place, frozen.As the only one who dared to approach Adrian, the old Leighton's eyes turned glowing green.He raised his hand and chanted something, prompting Adrian to stop beating Rick.The old Leighton was giving Adrian mental pain. He grabbed his forehead and groaned angrily.The sound of his groan reverberated throughout the entire forest."Leave him. Don't hurt her," Natalia said to the old man.Jason and Patric told their men to attack the wizards and witches. Because their Alpha was present, they would have to choose between giving their lives or taking the lives of others.Natalia closed her eyes a
Natalia's tears, which she had been holding back until now, fell on her cheeks.Adrian's gaze locked on hers. They were dark but familiar to her. His jaw was clenched as if he were trying not to groan in pain.When his body moved, she came back to reality and gasped."Ad-Adrian! What are you—"Adrian pushed her head back, covering her gaze so she could not look at anything."Sshh"His thumb caressed her cheek while pressing her head against his bare chest as if he did not feel anything.Natalia could feel the heat of the flame whenever the whip touched his back."Don't... Don't hit him!"She exclaimed, crying, but Rick did not stop."Look, who has come to protect his wife? The man who can not shift, who can not protect himself, how can he protect his wife?"Rick's mocking made the witches and wizards laugh. Everyone was aware of Adrian's condition. He had become a puppet of Ansel.Rick continued to whip Adrian's back. As the flaming whip continued to strike him on his back, his skin b
