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
When I opened my eyes, I was in my bedroom. The moment I realized where I was, I let out a gasp. I slowly sat up and looked around at the room that I was familiar with.After lowering my head, I noticed that I was dressed in men's clothing.Adrian's scent was coming from the clothes.Slowly, one by one, every single thing that had happened last night came back to my mind.I brought my hand up to my chest and placed it there. Using my finger, I gently stroked my upper breasts in an attempt to locate any signs of claw marks.It came as a surprise to me when I discovered that there was no trace of the marks.I felt lost as I began to think about when I had slept and what he had done to me after that.However, my full clothing indicated that nothing had happened after that."Stop thinking too much."I flinched when I heard a deep voice coming from beside me.I slowly turned my head and saw Adrian sitting on the bed, reading a file."What the hell!"I immediately got out of bed, moving bac
After Adrian left the room, I huffed and ran my fingers through my hair in anger.How did I end up coming here?I tried to recall everything, then realized that I fainted in the road and the last thing I saw was Adrian's face.Why did he take me to this house? He could drop me directly at my house too.As I was getting enraged at him, my eyes fell on the paper bag lying on the couch.I walked to it and grabbed it to see what was inside. As soon as I opened the bag, I found a dress inside.I rolled my eyes. That man was really something.I understood that he arranged the dress for me.I hurriedly went to take a shower in the bathroom.This room was very familiar to me.Every corner of this room was filled with my memories. My mind kept reminding me of everything.I took a quick shower, and left the bathroom after wearing the dress.I rubbed my hair with a towel while my eyes were searching for my bag around the room.My children and my parents might be very worried about me.And Max...
I moved my hands away from her right away. I averted my gaze and cleared my throat.I did not want to talk to anyone about it. That man had given me so much pain. Because of him, I had to suffer a lot. It was all right for him to feel regret.Suddenly, I clenched my jaw when I thought that man had almost taken advantage of me.He dared to change my clothes. I felt so uncomfortable that he saw me naked."I am happy that this dress fits you well, Luna."Amanda's voice caused me to shift my attention to her once again."Last night, Alpha told me to change your clothes. I had to put on Alpha’s clothes on you since there were no dresses in this house. But today, Alpha ordered this dress for you. I am amazed that he knows the perfect size."I was stunned when I heard Amanda.Did he not change my clothes?I bit my bottom lip, thinking that I had misunderstood him.I let out a sigh of relief and said to Amanda,"I'm leaving, Amanda. Where are my shoes?""Luna, don't leave right now. I set the
Upon turning my head to look at the table, I discovered that each and every one of the dishes was my favorite.Given that I had been living in this house with Amanda for two years, she was aware of the dishes that I liked the most."Why are you doing this?" I asked Adrian while eyeing the food.I turned my head at him with a brow lifted."Did you poison any of the food?"He gave me a poker face as if I said something meaningless."What?""Eat."After placing some food on a plate that he had grabbed, he then placed the plate in front of me.Suddenly, I remembered how I had been waiting for him in this dining room for the nights, thinking that he would return and I could serve him food like that. But he never returned home.I looked away from the plate. Why could I just not forget those things?People moved on in their lives, didn't they? Why could I not do the same?I ignored looking at him and focused on eating. I ate fast so that I could leave this house as soon as possible.I felt f
Adrian's POVMy guards were about to move to approach Natalia for what she had just done.But I gestured with my hand to stop them right there.I shut my eyes as the water rolled down from my head to my face, then my clothes."You are a piece of shit to me. Know your worth before approaching me again."After saying those bitter words, she left the dining room.I wiped the water away from my face with my hand and looked at the guards, who appeared to be shocked."Go to my car and hand over her shoes and bag."The guards were perplexed as to why I was not angry at the woman."Go!" I demanded harshly."Y-Yes, Alpha."They hurriedly left the dining room. I stared at the door for a while.I did not get mad at her at all. I deserved it.Didn't I also treat her like that during our marriage?I thought about the things that I read in her diary again, and it made me regret once more.After that night, I never dared to read that diary again. It was because I was afraid that the more I read that
Natalia's POVI was heading to my house in Max's car. He was such a caring person. He only asked once about what I was doing at Adrian's house.When I explained to him that I fainted last night because of a fever, he did not ask anything further.He said he trusted me.I turned my head at him. He was a nice guy. Why was I feeling like I cheated on him?Last night, Adrian and I were really close to each other. Though he was just healing my wound, I did not think any boyfriend would take that lightly.I did not say anything about that to Max. I was afraid that he would feel upset. He did not like Adrian since he was my ex-husband.When we arrived at my house, I unfastened the seatbelt and got out of the car.Max also got down and came toward me. He checked on my forehead and said,"You don't have a fever right now. It's surprising."He was right. After last night, I began to feel light and refreshed.It seemed like that wound was the only thing that was causing me to lose my strength."
I left my parent's room and headed to my bedroom. I strolled to my bed after placing my bag on the couch in my bedroom.I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling.I stared at it for a long time.I suddenly had an urge to go to the forest and run for a while. My mind had turned messier. It was all because of that one man.Who told him to heal me that way? I could have lived with that wound.I remembered how I threw water on his face. Yet he looked calm, as if my action did not anger him.His calmness annoyed me. I wanted to see the Adrian, who dared to challenge me all the time.I wanted to make him taste all of his medicine in return.I did not know when my eyes closed and I fell asleep.It was afternoon when my eyes opened.I sat up and scratched my head. I yawned and walked out of my room.I stopped beside my children's room and opened the door.I noticed they were doing something on a tab. When I closed the door behind me, they turned their heads at me."Mommy, when did you wake u
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
