"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
Third POV"Okay," Natalia replied to him softly.She flashed a grin as soon as he hung up the phone. She felt that he was a caring person. He called her to know what she was doing.She could not meet him for the last few days because he had to go back to his pack. His head Alpha wanted to discuss something with him, so he had no choice but to return there."He is back! That's nice," she mumbled, walking out of the changing room.Afterwards, she focused all of her attention on the tasks at hand.At the time that it was time to close the shop, each and every employee said their goodbyes to her.It was Natalia's duty to close the shop like that all the time.She locked the door and stood outside the shop.It was cloudy outside, but she was unaware of this while inside the store.The dark clouds were hiding the color of the sky, leaving no shadow of the moon.When Natalia looked up at the sky, she noticed that there was lightning in the sky. A few seconds later, she heard the sounds of a
The next day,It was too late for Natalia to make it to the coffee shop. She caught a cold. Last night, she did not listen to Max and got wet in the rain.Later, when Max dropped her off at her house, she began to sneeze. She had a little fever this morning, so she slept for a long time.After lunch, she decided to go there to do her duty. It was not her shop that she could refuse to go there anytime. Just because her boss, Liana, was a good woman, she could not take advantage of her."You look pale. What happened to you?" Liana asked her.Natalia told her about last night, and Liana chuckled at her."You young people really find rain enjoyable, don't you?""Not everyone, but at least me. Max tried to stop me a lot of times. I should have listened to him."Liana made a cup of cappuccino and handed it to Natalia.Natalia smiled when she smelled the coffee and felt refreshed. "Thanks, Liana."She returned to work after drinking the coffee.The half of the day went busy as she had to man
Adrian took a look at the woman he was holding in his arms. He carried her to his car and put her in the passenger seat.After fastening the seat belt, he placed his hand on her forehead to check the temperature.She was burning with a fever.When he stood up straight and shut the door, his gaze eventually moved away from her face.Water dripped from his hair locks as he walked in the rain to reach the driver's seat.He got in the car and started it before glancing at her.The car was silent, as the woman in the passenger seat was unconscious and the man in the driver's seat was driving the car in the opposite direction of her house.The car was filled with the sound of a ringtone, which caused Adrian to frown.He looked at his phone and noticed it was Theta Emon.He received the call and said,"What?""Alpha, we are at the club for a meeting. Where are you now?"Adrian turned his head at Natalia and then returned his gaze to the road."I can't come.""What are you saying, Alpha?"The
Adrian did not stop as he made his way to the stairs."Amanda, follow me."Amanda hurriedly followed Adrian behind him. She was worried about Natalia.What had happened to her?Since the last time she had seen her, so many years had passed. When she saw her again, she was overjoyed. But she was concerned that Natalia might be sick."Open the door," Adrian said, signaling Amanda to the room where Natalia used to stay before.As quickly as she could, Amanda made her way to the door and opened it for him.Adrian walked inside the room and laid Natalia on the bed.The bedroom was completely clean. A few months ago, he told Amanda to make the maids clean the room. After that day, he came to the house to stay in the room whenever his children left the pack house to live with Natalia.This bedroom reminded him of her. So he liked to stay here.Adrian's eyes observed Natalia's face. She was completely drenched in rain from head to toe.The focus of his attention shifted to her light-colored c
As soon as Adrian entered the bedroom, the first thing that caught her attention was the clothing that Natalia was wearing.She was wearing his white shirt and black sweatpants.A tiny smile rose on his lips as he saw her in his clothes.He walked to the bed and stood beside her. His gaze rested on her face as she looked refreshed. He put his hand on her forehead. He frowned when he saw that her fever had not subsided yet.After he had finished wrapping a blanket around her body, he moved back and went to take a shower. He needed to change clothes too. He did not want to sit on the bed with his drenched clothes.When he came out of the bathroom, he was in casual clothes. His black t-shirt and black sweatpants gave him a young look.He rubbed his hair while walking to the bed. He threw the towel on a couch and sat on the edge of the bed beside Natalia.He stared at her for a while after checking her fever. He decided to place a wet, warm cloth on her forehead.Just as he was about to g
Natalia could not tell where he was looking. She assumed she was looking at her breasts. So she quickly crossed her hands over her breasts."Pervert."Adrian was stunned by seeing those marks, so he did not pay attention to what she had just said.He moved away from her and muttered,"So this is the reason why you are losing your strength day by day."Natalia could not understand what he was saying. She tried to cover her chest by covering her body with the blanket.She felt warmth inside the blanket, which gave her body a little relief from the cold.She saw Adrian moving toward the door and thought she was leaving her alone.Glancing around the room, she recognized that it used to be their bedroom.Her consciousness slowly returned to her as her sight became more clear.The sound of the door being closed caused her eyes to move to the door, and she looked at it.Her eyes widened when she saw Adrian locking the door."What are you doing?" she asked with a raspy tone.Her throat was t
With a frown on her face, Natalia turned to face her brother. What was it that he desired that made him to assist the family, such as the Leightons? It was not unfamiliar how these people were. They were notorious and vicious people who could only cause harm to others. So why did he help them in the first place?She noticed that he was looking in a certain direction. Before her eyes could follow his gaze, Hazel got up from the couch."Excuse me. I am coming back in a few minutes," she said in a low tone.After that, Hazel walked past everyone.Natalia followed her movements until she left the living room. When she noticed that Hazel was sweating as if she had been startled, she was perplexed.Wasn't her family there for her to set up things for herself? Then why did she look so afraid?Natalia suspected that Hazel had begun to behave strangely since her family arrived.But why?As other people resumed their conversations, the living room started to emit a reverberation of voices.Afte
Hazel's sister-in-law, Ansel Leighton, was shocked. She did not expect Natalia to respond like that. Her eyes widened and glowed with anger."Did you just—"Lucas Miller, Adrian's father, stopped her from speaking when he noticed the atmosphere growing heated."Please don't take her words to heart."Natalia looked at Lucas to see why he had stopped Ansel. She wanted to hear her out before responding with what she deserved.A shameless family like Leighton deserved to be insulted rather than respected."My sister is very blunt. "She never considers who is in front of her; she always stands for the truth," Jason stated proudly.Ansel raised an eyebrow and said, "Then she should stand the truth this time as well. The truth is that someone else is carrying her husband's children. How can she not show her support for the woman? Can't she support the feelings of these two people and make her own decision?"Natalia clenched her jaw. How did she know what she and Adrian had talked about befor
Natalia was surprised to hear her brother. She glanced at the old man once again.Was what her brother said right?Her eyes quickly swept over Adrian's bandaged forehead. Before he could catch her eyes, she averted her gaze off of him.She pondered, 'Was it Old Leighton who was responsible for the burn on his forehead?’By telling herself that she did not care about Adrian anymore, she attempted to calm her heart.Through a hushed voice, she responded to her brother, "Okay."Jason shrugged his shoulders and said to the old man with a grin.“You are talking about culture and rules? In spite of the restrictions that my pack imposed, have you forgotten how I managed to make it to your pack? You are aware of the reason why I went there, right?”The expression on the old man's face changed. His thick brows furrowed, but then he let out a chuckle."I see I have offended Alpha Jason. Don't mind my words. I was only talking about terms. If that offends Alpha Jason, I apologize."Natalia was s
In the silent living roomEveryone's attention was on Natalia. The three new people scrutinized her with their predatory eyes.The pair of emerald eyes, which had been experienced by seeing many things, keened by focusing on her."How can you refer to her as this pack's Luna when there hasn't been a crown ceremony yet?"Hearing the strong voice, which did not shake a bit even though the owner was old, took Natalia aback.She turned her head to look at the old man. She felt awkward inside after meeting his gaze.It appeared that he possessed far more power than she had expected. The power of the wizarding world was something she was not unaware of. The words that he spoke pierced her heart and brought her to the realization of something that she had neglected to remember.'Crown Ceremony!' she thought, averting her gaze from the old man.She came to the realization that she had not yet earned the title of Luna of this pack. The reflection of the night the Crown Ceremony flashed on her
Natalia scrutinized the three people who did not greet her and instead went to take seats on the couches. Adrian did not even bother introducing her to them. She felt like an outsider.For once, she wanted to leave them for now.However, her brother held her hand and shook his head, indicating that she should not leave at this time."I hope we will not bring up the past. Our children made some mistakes; we will try to solve this," Lucas Miller said with a soft tone.Natalia remained composed, trying to concentrate on their conversation.The young woman had not yet sat down on the couch. She walked up to Adrian and stood beside him."Refreshing to see you again, Alpha Adrian."She was grinning charmingly, and as she gazed at him, her eyes glistened.She raised her hand and gently laid it on his shoulder before brushing something out of its way. As she slowly ran her fingernails over his shirt sleeve, she spoke again while gazing at the bandage around his forehead."You shouldn't have l
At the moment of hearing that, Natalia and Jason both appeared surprised.The Leighton family?Natalia almost forgot that she had heard Gamma Benjamin telling her that some guests were coming to the pack house. He did not say who the guests were, so she was unaware of their identities.Hearing that it was the Leighton family, Natalia felt a shift in her heart.Did they learn that Adrian agreed to accept Hazel and her child? Was it the reason for their arrival?Right after the guards, three people came to the site. They entered the pack house with their green eyes observing the surroundings around them.Natalia examined the three people.They looked powerful—really powerful.There was just one woman among the two men. The woman was young, but she could be two or three years older than Natalia.While the two men have different ages. One was a young man with a calm face, while the other appeared to be the family's main character.It was an elderly gentleman with emerald eyes. A power ema
The color of Adrian's eyes faded from black to brown. He frowned at her upon hearing her statement. He grabbed her wrist and questioned with a raspy voice,"Rule this pack on your own? You mean you want to rule my pack alone?"All of a sudden, she experienced a burning sensation in her wrist. The fact that his hand could cause her to experience such a burning sensation in her head was a mystery to her. Her grip loosened in shock.He was able to successfully get her to move away from him. It caused her to retreat a few steps back. As she was perplexed, her legs became unbalanced.Jason noticed his sister was about to fall. He hurried over to her and prevented her from falling by holding her.His head turned to Adrian, and he let out a low growl. He was filled with rage, and he had a strong desire to kill this man right at this moment."How dare you push her?"He was concerned that this man would cause harm to Natalia's child. Yeah, it was Natalia's child only. The idea of her living wi
Natalia's eyes turned a glowing dark blue. With her teeth gritted, she shot her gaze at Adrian.His parents were taken aback by her words. It was disrespectful to them. Natalia had never dared to do that before. She was always courteous and respectful towards them."Natalia!"Grace reacted angrily. Her eyes narrowed as she spoke,"We have been showing you care all these years. But by saying that you can kill us, you have just shown what our place is in your eyes."Grace looked at her husband, Lucas Miller, as she held his arm."Your father-in-law adores you and has always wanted you to be his daughter-in-law. He never accepted Lynda, and he never mentioned liking Hazel. But today, you disrespected this old man."Natalia turned a blind eye to all the things Grace Miller was saying. The moment Adrian announced that he was going to take Hazel as his mistress, she had completely lost her mind, and his parents did not even object to the idea.Upon seeing Adrian's expression of indifference,
Jason's eyes were filled with rage, which caused him to growl so loudly that Grace Miller was forced to cover her ears. After all among the four werewolves, she was the only person who was not an Alpha. Hazel was the exception, she was a witch.He turned around and looked directly at Hazel. She was trying to avoid his gaze."Are you pregnant with his child?"He asked her the question because he did not believe in it. Hearing about the mistress seemed less shocking than hearing this news.His teeth clenched as he stared at Hazel.Hazel stepped aside, appearing frightened, and stood behind Adrian. But there was no mercy in Jason's eyes. His eyes followed her every step. He noticed that she was firmly gripping Adrian's suit sleeve."Stop scaring her. She is pregnant. I don't want my unborn child hurt by anything."Natalia jerked up when she heard Adrian's words. She clutched her dress around her stomach with her hand.'His unborn child? Isn't his unborn child in my womb? Why is he acknow
