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
She sobbed as her body came dangerously close to collapsing to the ground. The pain that she was experiencing was something she had no idea existed. The pain reached her brain, and she heard a loud noise inside."The people only heard about my ruthlessness. But they don't know the feeling of the pain I gave to the people while taking revenge ," he muttered.Her eyes grew large with the most painful expression.Adrian pulled his hand from inside her chest, causing her dress to tear.As soon as Adrian released her hand, her entire body collapsed to the ground.Her eyes remained wide open, as if she was still alive.Her heart was still pounding. But not in her chest, but rather on the cruel man's hand.He held her heart in his hand and looked at it with glowing red eyes.His claws were flooded with blood.Taking his gaze away from the trembling heart, he turned his attention to Lynda and clenched his fists around her heart.There was not a slightest glint of sympathy in his eyes for the
Natalia's POVI was in my bedroom, laying on my bed. I did not know what the meaning behind Adrian's confession was. I wished he had not said those things to me.I did not trust that man at all. But he swore on my children. I knew he loved them; he would never lie about anything after swearing about the love he had for Aria and Noah."I don't care what he feels for me. That has nothing to do with me," I mumbled while staring at the ceiling.My wolf, Nancy, wanted to go for a run. She was happy that Adrian wanted us. But I chose to ignore the snarl she was giving me.When Adrian and I got married, she was not there with me. She did not feel what I had to feel those two years. I felt like a prisoner in love, and he made my life miserable.“Our mate wants us,” Nancy spoke out from inside me.Unwilling to listen to her, I closed my eyes. But she continued to nudge me inside, pleading with me to pay attention to what she had to say.“We are mates by fate. How come you are ignoring our mate
"Natalia, this pack does not deserve you and your family. I can't trust anyone with your brother's treatment. I should not say that, but I don't believe in the head Alpha of this pack. So there is no way that he will protect your family."His words made me think about it. Was he saying the right thing? Would Adrian create any problems with Jason's treatment?I bit my bottom lip, recalling how he confessed to me a few hours earlier. He even told me to stay away from Max.But then I remembered how he gave my family a reputation in this pack. He never let them face any harassment or humiliation."Natalia, what are you thinking?"I let out a sigh and replied,"Max. Let's not talk about it. I want my brother to wake up first. I don't think Adrian will hurt my family. At the end of the day, he will not harm the family who raised his children."Max turned silent. I assumed he might be upset. So I cleared her throat and said softly,"Please don't get mad at me. I know you want the best for me
My kids were sound asleep in their room when I went to check on them. After telling my maid to look after them, my parents and I left the house.As soon as I stepped out of my house, there was a car waiting for us.It was sent by Delta Julian. His driver opened the doors for us and said it was the royal order to bring us to Alpha's house.I did not argue about anything because it was not time to call for a cab. We got inside the car, heading to our destination.It was midnight, and the only lights that could be seen on the road were the dim yellow lights that were coming from the street lamps.My mind was completely preoccupied with my own thoughts. I had a hard time accepting the fact that Lynda was the child of my adoptive parents.‘So, all of these, why do they keep her hidden from the rest of the world? Why do they never accept her in front of others?' I thought.I was perplexed and angry at the same time because those people had taken me away from my parents in the past.If they
I was in complete shock. How did they find out about it? It was the past, and I never told anyone about it. Then how did they get to know about it?"What are you saying, Grace?" My mother asked.Grace let go of my hand and proceeded to walk in the direction of my mother. Her hands were joined together, and she mumbled,"We should be punished for hurting your daughter. She had to go through divorce and leave our pack. We could have protected her and made her feel secure here."My parents did not understand what was going on. So my father turned to Adrian's father and asked,"Lucas, will you explain?"His tone seemed informal to me. I wondered if my parents had met Adrian's parents before.I had never witnessed them meeting or conversing with one another before. Then how was it possible for them to be so friendly with one another? They used to be Alphas and Lunas from separate packs.In that case, shouldn't they behave like professionals?I stared at Lucas as I awaited his explanations.
Natalia's POVNatalia's hands froze as they were holding Adrian's mother's hands. She blinked her eyes and took a step back.She looked away from Grace without any expression on her face."Aunt, you need some rest," Natalia said with a low tone.There was no maid to help Grace at that moment. So Natalia's mother, Jade, initiated and helped Grace go to a bedroom to take some rest. Grace thanked her politely, as she was losing her mind for her son.Jade glanced at Natalia while heading toward a room, then gazed at Natalia's father, Martin. He gave her an assured nod that he would take care of Natalia.Martin then walked toward Natalia, who was lost in thoughts."My child, are you okay?" Martin asked.Natalia turned to her father and asked,"Dad, how do you know Uncle Lucas?"Lucas looked at Natalia the moment he heard her. Martin stroked her hair and replied,"It's a long story. There is no need to discuss it anymore."She did not ask further since her father declined to say anything.W
