The weekend was a day off for the family and friends to spend together.I was getting ready to go out with my children. They were very happy. I could see their happiness in their eyes.It wasn't because they were going with me; it was because they were going with their parents together.I remembered the days that I had to pass like an orphan. I also wondered if I could have parents like other children. I used to ask the moon goddess why she did not give me one or why she parted them away from me, leaving me an orphan.When Gamma Jeremy adopted me, I was very happy at that time. I thought I could live a normal life, like other children. However, all of my hopes were crushed when he told me what my place was in his eyes. He and his wife, Cora, never took me somewhere.Instead of taking care of me, they gave me a scary life."Mommy, are you ready?"I heard Aria's voice. I shifted my gaze to the mirror and saw her standing at the door.I smiled at her when I saw she was spinning around to
When I turned my head, I found both of my children staring at me awkwardly.I frowned at them. They immediately turned their heads away from me.I was confused by their looks. What had happened to them suddenly?Didn't they say a few months ago that they liked Max?"Are you sure?" Max asked."Yeah, I'm sure.""Okay, then see you there.""Hmm."The moment I removed my phone from my ear, I heard Noah's voice."Mommy, is Uncle Max also going there?"I looked at him, observing his look carefully and replied,"Yeah."Aria pouted her lips and said, "But it should be only four of us."I was stunned. "Why can't he join us? Did you two not like Uncle Max?"Noah blinked his eyes and muttered, "Yeah, but we thought it was only us."I patted his head and tried to assure him, "He is a very kind person. You two will like him."After hearing me, they did not say anything. I also kept quiet.The whole ride turned silent. I began to feel that I had done something wrong since my children's happiness ha
Adrian's POVThe moment I stepped inside the restaurant, my eyes fell on the gorgeous woman, who looked breathtaking.I could watch her all day long. I wish I could meet her every day.Maybe this was called love. Just seeing the person made my heart beat faster.I grasped the bouquet firmly, as I felt nervous about the flowers.I remembered that I had read about her favorite flower in her diary. She mentioned it in her diary while writing about my favorite flower.When I walked to her, she looked away from me. I apologized to her. She called my name and the receptionist overheard her.He bowed to me in respect and fear. I told him not to tell anyone about my identity.Not every one of the members of my pack had met me in person. Though most of the people were on social media and saw my photos online, we were lucky that the majority of them did not recognize us.Otherwise, it would be hard to walk around in the pack freely."This is for you."She lowered her head and looked at the bou
My mind seemed to be going back to a flashback.I did not know what to feel right now. I really thought a lot before buying that bouquet. I wanted to say sorry for what I did to her years ago when she gave me my favorite flower as her first present.I did not expect her to do the same to me.It broke my heart.However, more than me, I felt bad for her. She might have felt like this."Dad!"I heard Aria's voice. My gaze shifted from Natalia to my daughter, who was sprinting towards me.I tried to compose myself, not wanting to show my pain to anyone.As I knelt down, I picked up Aria and held her in my arms. She kissed my cheek and hugged my neck.I saw my son walking slowly toward me. I gave him a nod, which he acknowledged quietly.He was a very strong boy with a sharp mind. He would be a great Alpha in the future and rule my packs smoothly.I was making him with my own hands.Natalia turned to the receptionist, who was talking with other customers."We are waiting. Where is your wai
Third POVWhen Max learned from Natalia that Adrian would also be attending the dinner, he was not pleased with it at all. That was the reason she could not invite him. So he lied to her and said that he had a meeting in this restaurant so that he could come here to be with her.He had absolutely no faith in Adrian at all. The man who had always given Natalia pain could hurt her again.“What wound is he talking about?”"Nothing, Max. Order something for you," Natalia said to him, trying to distract him.Max grabbed the menu and ordered all the dishes that Natalia liked.In the last few months, he has learned everything about her. He wanted to give her a good life, which she had missed for years.She let out a gasp as he placed the order for her favorite dishes. He turned his head toward her."Max, that's all my favorites. You remembered?" She whispered to him.He made a strong impression on her. He was making her feel like she was the only one. She glanced at Adrian and saw how he was
The restaurant was fascinating for families with children as well as for couples who were dining there. There was no way that any customer could possibly turn down the beauty of it.Both Noah and Aria continued to look around while they were eating.Max had the intention of initiating a conversation with Natalia's children. On the other hand, he had the impression that they were not friendly kids."Noah, I heard from your mom that you are getting training. How is it going?" Max asked Noah.Noah looked at him and replied,"Good.""Who is your trainer? Gamma Benjamin?" Max asked with curiosity since he would be the next Alpha of this pack.Noah shook his head in reply."Then?"Noah pointed his finger at Adrian and replied,"Dad trained me himself."Max was stunned. He had never heard a head Alpha train someone. Adrian was quite a responsible father, and Max could not deny it."I appreciate it, Alpha Adrian. You are making him a legendary Alpha like you," Max said to him.It was not like
"What?"Adrian got up from the chair with an angry face.Natalia was confused about what could have happened, which made him react like this."Alpha, Doctor Harold just informed me about it."Adrian clenched his jaw but then glanced at his children's scared faces.He let out a deep breath and tried to calm down, which was impossible for him."You all continue. I'm coming in a few minutes."Adrian left the restaurant and stood outside."Where is she?" he asked as his mind turned restless.Faith was the only person who could spill the truth about who made her do that to Natalia.How could a girl run away from the pack hospital so easily?"What were those guards doing at that time?"Theta Emon was quiet for a moment, then replied,"They said they did not know about it. Only doctors and nurses could go to that cabin so they assumed any female doctor helped her run away.""And how did she do that?""I found out the CCTV footage and saw that Faith walked out of the cabin in a doctor's coat
Adrian rolled his eyes as he muttered,"That's not called independence."Max let out a challenging tone. "Then what is independence in your eyes, Alpha Adrian?"Natalia felt the air was getting heated as both of the men were looking at each other furiously. She was afraid they were going to fight here.She locked her arm with Max and rubbed his hand. "Max, it does not matter what independence means to him. I like the way you treat me."She leaned in closer and murmured, "Now don’t argue with him. My kids are still here. They are fans of their dad. They won't like it."It was kind of a request toward him, so Max nodded his head with a chuckle.On the other hand, Adrian was getting jealous.His eyes landed on how Natalia was rubbing Max's hand.He could not see it anymore. He stood up and said,"I'm waiting outside. I'm done here."Natalia let go of Max's hand when Adrian walked out of the restaurant.She sighed as she rubbed her forehead. Her kids were staring at her.Natalia paid the
