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
Natalia stared at Adrian for a while, as he did not move from her body.'He is going to heal my wound? How? Why?’ she pondered to herself.Her eyes widened in surprise as she recalled how he had given her fingers a healing."No, I don't need your help," she replied right away.Adrian observed her expressions and smirked at her."It appears that you have some memory."Natalia tried to break away, but she found him stronger than her."Adrian, I am not feeling well. Don't mess with me right now."Adrian ignored her remarks and lowered his gaze. He slowly shifted all of his weight to his knees so that she did not feel anything.He moved his other hand to the buttons of the shirt.Natalia shook her head. "Don't you dare, Adrian Miller."He frowned at her and asked,"It's not like I haven't seen them before. I still remember every single mole in your body."She blinked as she looked away from him. Her cheeks turned red in embarrassment."Shameless man!" she muttered.He chuckled at her word
Natalia's moan caused Adrian to shut his eyes. It was so alluring that he wanted to forget everything and almost did what he was trying to resist.Natalia closed her eyes as she realized how close they were, and how intimately he was licking her wound."A-Adrian, let me go. My boyfriend won't like it if he gets to know."Hearing her call Max her boyfriend, his eyes flung open. He lifted his head to look at her face.When Natalia felt him leaving her breasts, she opened her eyes slowly.She could not help but gulp when she noticed the blood on his lips. His eyes were dark as he gazed at her."If you talk about another man once again to distract me, I will do something that you will regret tomorrow."She did not want him to heal her wound. But the way he was warning her, she was afraid that he would do what he was saying.She turned her head to the side to move her gaze away from him.Adrian returned to her wound and focused on it. The wound was not his problem, but where the wound was
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
