Third POVAdrian frowned at her. He did not understand why she said that. What exactly did she mean when she said the ground would slip beneath him?He stared at Natalia, watching her go inside her house. He did not move from the place until he heard the sound of his phone ringing."I will make you mine. I know I hurt you, but I don't want to hurt you for not choosing me. You have become my desire, which I can't share with anyone. You belong to me, only me."He looked away and got in his car. He started the car and grabbed the phone, which once again began to ring.He glanced at the phone and saw that it was Delta Julian. He received the call and heard Juliana's voice."Alpha, thank goodness you received the call. We found Faith's location. We track the cab she is currently in. I am sending you the location.""Got it.""The video footage will also be sent to your phone.""I'm driving right now. Let me grab that woman first, and then I will find out who her lovely savior is.He then hu
Adrian's POVFaith fainted from pain. My officials hurriedly took her to Julian's car."Where are we going to take her?" My Delta, Julian, asked me.I was still stunned. But I immediately came back to my senses and replied,"To my house."As the car drove in the direction of my house, I was still in a daze. I felt a pat on my shoulder, which made me turn around."I should drive your car. You don't look good to me," Patric said, getting into my car.I realized he did not go with my other officials. He started my car after I settled into the front seat next to him."I know it's shocking, but calm down. We need to know the truth," Patric told me calmly.However, my mind was not calm.She was not even safe with the man, whom she used to call her father.My blood was boiling in anger. "Call that man and tell him to come to my house right now."With one hand gripping the steering wheel, Patric took out his phone and dialed a number."Is he back in the pack?" he asked the man who received th
As soon as the car came to a stop in front of my house, I dashed out and went inside.I could not believe how it could be possible. What was Lynda's connection with Natalia's cousin?I recalled the way Lynda had responded a few months ago when she had seen Faith outside this house. When I asked her, she pretended she did not know her.Then why did she help her?"Adrian."Patric called me from behind. He looked away from me as he said,"I know it is not right to say that, but please, just relax. Let's see what happens."I tightened my fists and glanced at the other sides. I saw that every one of my officials was present. It seemed they told all the maids to leave the house for tonight.Gamma Benjamin was bandaging Faith's head. He looked at me and said,"I thought I could do that. We can’t take a risk sending her to the pack hospital again."I gave him a nod and turned around. Patric spoke out again."Where are you going, Adrian?""To my study room. Call me when Gamma Jeremy will arriv
"HOW COULD I NOT RECOGNIZE HER? HOW?"I growled as I rose up from my chair and smashed the table with my hand.The loud noise of the broken table reached the living room. My officials rushed toward the study room and opened the door.I did not give a damn as I began smashing everything that caught my eye. It was unbelievable to me that I was such an idiot.Why did fate have to betray me like that? Why did her wound turn invisible at that time? Only if I could see that wound, I would have recognized her.But she did not want me to love her for the past. Why did I not love her back?Why?"Adrian!"Patric rushed over to me as well as my other officials. They grabbed my arms to stop me. But I yanked my arms away and punched the wall in anger."I just hate myself. Why did I do that to her? Why did I not recognize her? She was always in front of me, with me, but I....."I could not let out anything more as my eyes and throat both started to burn. I punched the wall once again.Blood gushed
I was staring at Faith for quite some time. She was lying on the couch in the living room.After calming myself in the study room, I directly came here to take a look at the people who were connected to Natalia's sufferings.I noticed Faith's hand move as she was coming back to consciousness.As soon as her eyes opened, my men, who came inside my house a while ago, pointed their guns at her.She appeared to be frightened. She screamed in fear and sat up on the couch.Her eyes met mine, and she began to cry. "Please, let me go."I stared at her calmly. It took me some time to control myself from anger. I had to compose myself to learn the truth."Are you going to spill everything or..." I warned him.At that time, Gamma Jeremy and his wife, Cora, entered my house.My head turned at them as my wolf growled inside in anger to kill them."A-Alpha, you called us," Gamma Jeremy said.His eyes fell on Faith, and they grew wider.He did not expect Faith to be caught by my men, did he?I walke
Third POV"I can't believe it! How could you do that to that poor child, Jeremy?"The angry voice of Alpha Lucas echoed throughout the house.Adrian called him and Grace here to let them know what the man who used to be their Gamma had been doing all these years."And you! How easily you have deceived us about saving our son," Grace said, glaring at Lynda.Lynda was kneeling on the floor as her head was low. She was held by the guards, just like her parents. She did not let out a single thing after getting caught. Adrian sent Faith somewhere, which they did not know.Adrian was not calm at all. The rage that growled in his head was not easy to calm. But he wanted to give them the perfect punishment.His officials saw him walking to the couch. They wondered what was going on in his mind.Adrian sat down and lit a cigarette to ease his mind first. He did not care that his parents were there in front of him. He did not give a damn about anything right now.There was a fire blazing inside
Terrible and deafening screams resounded throughout the entire house. Adrian's men heated an iron in the fire and sealed Jeremy and Cora's foreheads with it.Blood was gushing from their wounds. They were a crying mess. It was the sins that they did bring back to them.When the guards were about to touch Lynda, Adrian stopped them by saying,"Leave her. She is my prey."There was a maniac smirk on his lips.As soon as the guards let go of Lynda, she got up on her feet. She turned around and pushed the guards who were caught off guard by her sudden movement.Lynda did not give them any time to process the situation before she hurried to the door and fled the house.Every single one of the guards was prepared to sneak up behind her and seize her."Don't follow her."The guards paused and turned to Adrian.Lucas and Grace looked at their son in confusion. Grace approached him and said,"My son, I was wrong when I asked you if you liked her. She doesn't deserve you. What a nasty woman she
Lynda's eyes widened. She shook her head, stepping backward."Ad-Adrian, don't do this to me."Adrian stepped toward her slowly while enjoying her fear."Wasn’t it you who constantly spread rumors about her?"Lynda could not help but feel her heart pondering. Adrian's grin made her feel lost in terror."Wasn't it you who used to abuse her but told me the opposite story? You even dared to bully my children. They told me about it when they started living in the pack house, but I never believed them."Lynda's lips began to tremble. She felt she would pass out in fear.She was about to run from him, but Adrian grabbed her hand and drew her closer to him.She began to push him in fear. As he got closer to her ear, Adrian began to let out a hearty chuckle. He then whispered in her ear sarcastically,"Adrian, I am your life savior. Why are you doing this? Why don't you let me get closer to you?"He laughed when he saw her shaking body."What happened now, woman? Where is the conference? Vani
Adrian looked at Natalia with curious eyes. He tried to look into her eyes more deeply. All he could see was hate for him. His eyes flickered as he sat up, causing her to frown at him."Do you want to sleep here?" he asked, getting out of bed.Natalia moved back, turning her gaze away. "Not want, that's my bed."He walked toward her, cashing her to take a step back. He approached her.Her eyes darted when he smelled different. She caught a faint whiff of his scent mixed with a strange smell.His towering frame loomed over her, his eyes piercing hers."There are guests outside. That is why I am not arguing with you."She shot back, giving him a fierce look. "I am only seeing your face because of Aria and Noah. If they had not been in my life—"He interrupted her and whispered,"Why not leave this pack and my children to me if you are so ready to return to your old life?"Her eyes flashed with rage as tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.Adrian wanted to be more rude to her. But
Natalia emerged from the bathroom wearing a dark green nightgown.Adrian's eyes locked on her. Something was screaming, "You hate her," in his mind.However, for some reason, he was unable to look away from her.This deep color made her already bright skin look even brighter. This nightgown made her body look much more attractive than the long gowns she usually wore. She was so attractive that she could attract the attention of any wealthy man, who would then lavish her with anything she desired.When Natalia's gaze landed on Adrian, she froze.As she fiddled with the nightgown's rope, she angrily asked, "You are still here?"His eyes shifted to her toe, which was fair and beautiful. Her nails, too, were attractively glossy. The nightgown hung a few inches above her feet, revealing her fair legs.“You are not going to leave like this, huh? Do I have to show you who I am again?” she said with a growl.Her growl caused him to look away from her body. He blinked his eyes.How had he got
When he heard Natalia, Adrian could not help but frown. A memory reflected in his head where he was kneeling in front of Natalia. In his mind, everything was blurry. He shut his eyes, attempting to recall the incident, but hissed when he felt pain in his head.Natalia stared at his back. Her eyebrows raised as she heard him hiss."Have you just mocked me?" Angrily, she strode over to him.She took hold of his arm, causing him to turn in her direction.She glared at him and asked, "Who gave you the audacity to treat me like this? If you were not my children's father, I would have killed you."Adrian yanked his arm away from her grip. It caused Natalia to take a step back."I don't care about the past. Right now, I don't care about you at all."Natalia looked into his eyes. They were cloudy. She did not see any emotions within them.What was the reason for his sudden change of heart?"I should have understood that when you intentionally caused the accident."Something hit her mind as sh
Natalia's eyes were filled with rage. A blaze ignited in her heart after looking at this man. She wanted to go and rip his head off.Things change so fast. There was a time when she used to love him so much that she had to leave him and take his unborn children with her. It took him years to win her heart back. But, once again, he lost it.Natalia believed that remarrying him was the biggest mistake she had ever made. Tonight, the way he had told her brother to take her away from this pack, she was broken inside. Others only saw her anger, but no one saw her heart.On the other hand, Adrian narrowed his eyes. He was not expecting this reaction."Why can't I be here?" he inquired, walking into the room.He closed the door behind him without breaking eye contact. "This is my room."Natalia clenched her jaw and scoffed at him. "Your room? Really?"Adrian frowned, not understanding why she said that.“You caused enough drama downstairs before the Leightons arrived. If I had wanted to, I c
It was quite late at night.Jason had left the pack house. The Leightons went to the guest rooms, which had been prepared for them by the maid. Hazel also went back to her bedroom.Adrian was sitting on the couch with his parents beside him. There was nobody else in the living room."Adrian, you made the right decision when you said you wanted to make Hazel your mistress," his father, Lucas Miller, said.His mother, Grace, was silently listening to them."They had come to recreate the past. This time, don't repeat what I did years ago," Lucas added.Adrian did not respond; he was staring at the marble floor the entire time.As if he were experiencing numbness on the inside, he was unable to make any expressions.His mind went completely still as he listened to the voices.He shut his eyes. He took hold of his head and used his fingers to massage his forehead. He had felt this since waking up today.By the time he regained consciousness after the accident, he was already in the hospita
The sharp eyes of Ansel were able to observe Hazel. It was clear that she was not in the least bit pleased. "Hazel, don't forget why you are here."“I-I asked you something. Didn't you say—”"Shut up!"Hazel bit her tongue and averted her gaze from Ansel. Ansel grabbed Hazel's hand and looked around to see if anyone was there.When Ansel saw there was no one, she leaned close to Hazel and said angrily,"If I hadn't come here, you would have spilled all the truth to Alpha Jason."Hazel looked at her, intending to speak, but Ansel shook her head. "No, no, honey. You are not brave enough to do it."Ansel's hand moved toward her belly, raising her brows. Hazel tried to push her hand, but Ansel pressed her hands against her belly."Don't dare to lose the track, or I will kill your child."Hazel gritted her teeth, nodding her head. "Don't kill my child."Ansel grinned evilly as he examined Hazel's belly. "Who wishes to kill it? It will get Alpha Adrian's name. If your brother had not been i
Hazel let out a painful hiss. She remembered the time Natalia had grabbed her by the neck. She became aware that both of the siblings were easily agitated. Turning her head away from Jason, she muttered,"I—I didn't know he was your sister's h-husband; otherwise...""Otherwise? Otherwise what? You would have slept with some other guy?" He let out an angry laugh.His jaw clenched as he stared at the woman. There was a burn in his chest, making him feel irritated.He could never describe what he was feeling inside. All he wanted was to kill this woman."You were here, living a luxurious life in this pack while carrying another man's child, and there I..."He paused, attempting to hide his emotions from her.Hazel cast a slow glance at him. She took a shaky breath before asking,"You what?"His hand gripped her jaw and he pulled her face toward his. Their faces were close, which caused her to remain still."And there I have been looking for you throughout your entire pack. I thought your
Jason looked mad as if his blood was boiling. He was inhaling deeply as though he would harm her at any moment. His jaw clenched, preventing himself from doing anything wrong.Lastly, he could not control himself, and his hand immediately moved to grab her neck. He growled at her as he asked,"How dare you sleep with another guy and get pregnant?"Hazel's eyes grew larger, feeling difficult to breathe. She patted his hand to release her. His eyes remained sharp, glaring at her while he waited for her response."J-Jason, I—"His grip tightened, making it impossible for her to take a deep breath. She could breathe out, but she was unable to breathe in to continue talking.Her eyes began to well up with tears and her face went pale. Tears rolled down from her eyes, falling down on her cheeks. Her hand, gently caressing his, slowed down her movements. Her lips quivered in fear that her heart might stop beating at any moment.She reached up to touch her belly with her other hand. She looke
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
