Eric put the call on speakerphone."Is my ex-wife with you?" Adrian asked the moment Eric received the call.It was the same way that he always spoke to me in the past; his voice was cold and harsh.Eric gave me a quick glance. Then, in response, I gave him a nod."Yes, she's right next to me," Eric replied."Is Natalia really with you?" Again, Adrian questioned him as if he did not trust what he was saying.This time, his voice came out as laced with rage. It sounded like he was quite angry.After hearing him, I was filled with wrath. Did he think Eric was lying to him? Why would he?The only thing I wanted was to find out the reason behind his calling.Instead of Eric, I replied to Adrian,"What else, Alpha Adrian?"Adrian was caught off guard by my abrupt engagement in conversation. He remained quiet for a while before finally breaking his silence and said,"I would advise you two not to be so pushy. We haven't gone through the official rejection ceremony yet."I grabbed the phone f
Hanging up the phone, I let out a deep, long sigh of worry.There was complete and utter silence in the cabin. I placed Eric’s phone on the desk.While resting my palms on the desk, I could not help but think of going back to visit Adrian's father, Alpha Lucas. I decided to come back to this pack soon after meeting with him.“Are you sure you want to go to that pack? It can be dangerous for you. I don't believe that man.”“Don’t worry. I'll be fine.""Then let me drive you there." Eric said it in a warm voice."No, thanks. I'm there to visit his father, not to provoke him. You'll only intensify the conflict by driving me there."“But how will yo—?”I interrupted him and replied,“That pack is right next to ours. I'll just drive myself."- - -In the evening, I stopped working. After getting up from my chair, I exited the cabin and went outside.By going to the lobby area, I was able to observe employees taking their leaves for today.With a grin on her face, Damia came up to me. "Miss
I was completely taken aback by Aria's question."Handsome Uncle?" I inquired with a look of deep bewilderment.She responded, "Yeah, that uncle we met at the airport."I was able to make out a bright smile and a look of excitement on Aria's face. Within me, I could feel a throbbing pain in my chest.She was talking about her father!I took a deep breath and replied,"Aria, don't talk about that man again, okay?""Why, Mom?""My baby, he is a stranger. I told you that day, right? By the way, Mommy is going to pay a visit to another person who is in critical health.”She lowered her head and pursed her lips in a deep sigh. After a while, she showed that she was a good child by nodding her head.I was fixated on her. Why did she keep bringing up Adrian in everyday conversation? Why could she not forget just one meeting?Was it because he was her father?I noticed Aria started drawing again. I ran my hand over her hair and asked,"What are you drawing?"When she turned to face me, she di
"Miss, we are here."I heard a knocking sound and a voice calling me.After opening my eyes, I immediately closed them again as a light came into contact with them. I sat up straight and rubbed my eyes.I slowly opened my eyes and yawned. I turned my head to the window, where I discovered the driver standing outside. I was surprised to see him there.As I rolled down the window, I looked at him. At that moment, he bowed to me and announced, "Miss, we have arrived.”With a frown on my face, I switched my attention to the other window. It dawned on me that the car was standing outside of the Crystal Blood Pack's pack hospital."What the hell!" I muttered in a low tone.I did not expect my driver to take me to the hospital directly. I had the thought that I would go to the hotel and get a room, then once I had changed my clothes and freshened up, I would go to visit Alpha Lucas.But here we were, in the pack hospital.I looked at the driver, who looked nervous based on the way I appeared
After hearing her response, I put my hands on the desk."Don't call him. Call Alpha Lucas and tell him that Nat-""Hello,"Before I could complete it, she spoke out and interrupted me. It looked like the person had already received the call.A sigh came out of my mouth as I took my hands off the desk."Beta Patric, is Alpha on your side?"My gaze was fixed on the woman. Didn't she say she would call Adrian? Why did she call Patric? Or did she want to pretend that she had their head Alpha's number?Considering that the reception area was very calm, I was able to pick up on what the other person was saying to her."No, he is in the meeting right now." Patric replied to her.With a very nice tone, the woman addressed him and said, "Sir, we need to ask him something.”"He won't be free for one hour. What's the matter?" Patric asked."Sir, someone came to meet Alpha's father," the woman said while eyeing me.She became aware that I was paying attention to what she was saying. As a result,
As I turned my head, I looked at the door. My attention was drawn to the mighty man who had entered the cabin.The handmade tailored suit and ideally brushed hair gave him an appearance of dominance. He looked cold as usual.His sharp eyes were gazing around the cabin until they stopped on me.My wolf jumped inside at his gaze. Almost instantly, I averted my gaze from him and focused my attention on Alpha Lucas."I heard you were busy today. What are you doing here?" Adrian's mother asked him."You don't look happy to see me here," he replied in a cold tone.I almost let out a loud sneer, but I managed to keep my composure. This person was incapable of even having a civil conversation with his parents. He was not that impolite to his parents before our wedding. It was for this reason that he had to marry me in order to satisfy his father's wish. However, after that day, he stopped caring about anybody and everything.Since he was now the head Alpha, I couldn't help but wonder if the s
Adrian's words shocked me. I turned my head to him immediately to glare at him. His eyes were filled with hostility for me.I wish I could yell at him by telling him the truth that those little children were not any sort of fruit of sin but rather his own blood. I wish I could tell him that.But you never know. It is possible that once he was aware of the reality, he would say that they were the fruits of that bed service. Not for a moment did I have any faith in him. The man in front of me did not deserve to know the truth of my children.However, I kept myself from letting out anything. It would be necessary for me to keep my temper under control in front of him.Coming here gave me the feeling that I was taking on a challenge. Because this man would not let me stay calm for the rest of the day.With a reprimand in her voice, Grace Miller told her son,"What's wrong with you, Adrian? Why are you saying this? No one does that."Adrian let out a dark chuckle. "People do that, Mom. Or
“But we are no longer married. Now, five years have passed. Why is he still intrigued by that one thing?” I questioned because I was confused."We don't know. Even when the two of you were married, he was still obedient. But once you had left the pack, he began to undergo a transformation. He turned into a cold-hearted man," Uncle Lucas said while thinking about those days when Adrian had started to react strangely.I took hold of Auntie Grace's hand and rubbed my palm over hers."Everything will be fine. Don't cry."She nodded her head and wiped her tears. "I'm only worried for my husband."My attention was drawn to Uncle Lucas, who appeared to be in a very weak state.At the same time that I felt tears rolling down my cheeks, I pursed my lips. Quickly, I wiped them down.I was an emotional woman. I could not witness the suffering of other people.Alpha Lucas was someone I really respected a lot. I had watched him in his good health when he had the aura to shut down anyone. Now that
