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
A FEW MONTHS LATER Natalia's POVToday was a really good day. Because today my brother moved his finger. It was clear evidence that he was getting better.I was so relieved to see that with my own eyes that I was unable to express it to anyone. I was shocked when I noticed that, but then I realized the day was not far when my brother would get back to us soon.I wanted to give Max full credit for my brother's recovery.He was a really kind person. When I accepted to be his girlfriend, I did not know what his personality was.As the days and months passed, I discovered more and more about him.He was not only a healer, but also a mysterious figure. He possessed many abilities that could heal anyone. I admired the mark on the back of his neck. It glowed red whenever I touched it.According to him, the red color there could only be seen by another healer. I had no choice but to believe him since he was my boyfriend.He always told me that I had the potential to join him in the medical f
"Mommy, let's go somewhere today."It was Aria who was trying to convince me to take her somewhere outside."Baby, I need to go to the coffee shop. Can we go outside this weekend?"Noah walked to me after he had finished his homework. He sat next to us on the bed and said it to Aria like a big brother."Don't bother Mommy. Or I will complain to Dad."Noah calling Adrian "dad" did not surprise me.Adrian somehow changed his mind and created a little space in his heart for himself.It was because nowadays he gave his children his full attention whenever he was at the pack house."No, don't complain to Dad. He said, If I disturb Mommy, he won't call me princess."I raised my brows, listening to their conversation. It was true that I still hated that man. But I was surprised at how he handled the children, especially Noah."How is your punishment going?" I asked Noah."Mommy, that's not a punishment. Uncle Benjamin said I will be the head Alpha in the future. So I need the training," Noah
I chose to ignore their conversation and proceeded to leave my house.They were children who could easily be brainwashed. What was most upsetting to me was the fact that they had to listen to a lot of taunting remarks at their school.We could not stop anyone's mouth.Their father was single, and their mother had a boyfriend, which might be a big topic among their friends and their parents.But I could not do anything about it. I finally realized that I also had a right to live my life. I should not care about what others say about us. I was just worried about my children's mental health.After hailing a cab, I climbed inside of it. I headed to the Moon Lovers coffee shop.The time was in the afternoon.At that time, the coffee shop was completely full of customers because this was the time of day when the most customers came in.After arriving at the coffee shop, I went inside. I smiled at the employees while heading to the counter."Laiana."I greeted Liana, noticing that she was si
