Natalia frowned and decided not to go to the back side. Taking a look at the guards, she responded,"I can not go into the back area, but I can still go to the forest. No one can stop me."The guards did not stop her because she simply wanted to go to the forest.Natalia shrugged her shoulders as she stepped toward the forest area.As soon as she entered the forest, she heard the sounds of howling. She stood behind a tree and tried to see who was coming at that time.She scowled when she saw a man coming in her direction. There were four people and the wolves following behind him.Her feelings of hatred for him grew stronger. Hearing his mother's words did not shake her heart even slightly. Instead, it became more intense because he had been causing her pain for no reason.She muttered as she looked at him from a distance."Adrian Miller, I will never forgive you."On the other hand,Adrian felt like he was losing his mind. His head was pounding all over inside for no reason. He clenc
Natalia stared at Adrian with wide eyes.This had never happened before. Or she could say she had never heard that Alpha Adrian had ever knelt down in front of anyone else, not even in front of his father.She was shocked as she stared at him. His words did not reach her mind, as she was too surprised to understand anything."Ad..."She stopped herself as her hands tightened into fists. They almost rose to stop him but then she slowly put them beside her.She stared at him, not knowing what was going on in his mind.The way he lowered his head, she could not even see his face."What..." she cleared her throat and continued, "What is wrong with you?"Adrian did not speak for a few minutes.It was as if his body froze in that state.Natalia bit her bottom lip, as she had no idea what to say. Adrian did not look like he was making fun of her at this moment by kneeling before her."Adrian, wh–""Forgive me, Natalia."His words interrupted her. She paused and averted her gaze from him.The
Natalia looked at the ground, trying her best to prevent her tears from falling out of her eyes.It was not easy to live the way she did.The days she had to pass were not so easy that just killing someone could ease her pain.The pain he had caused her left a hole in her heart. She had been living her life entirely alone, believing that she could never trust another man.She was quiet, and the entire world fell silent around her.She wiped her eyes as her eyes turned cold. She turned around and saw Adrian looking at her.With frigid eyes, she peered down at him.It broke Adrian's heart even more.Her eyes were like a dagger to his heart. Her cold face made his situation even worse."What do you think of yourself, Alpha Adrian? You can do whatever you want, and once the time has passed, you can ask for forgiveness. Do you think my life is a game to you?"He shook her head and murmured, "Your life is precious to me."She could not help but laugh."Precious? It's because you now know th
"What?"Natalia asked with a frown. She shook her head in anger. "Do you have any shame? At this moment, you are still lying."He wanted to stand up and approach her, telling her that he knew nothing about it.But the moment he moved, she took another step backward.So he decided to speak without standing up. He inhaled deeply and replied,"I am not lying. My secretary never told me that anyone calle—"Adrian paused when he recalled that he used to have a personal secretary who Lynda selected for him. She told him at the time that she did not believe any woman and that she should choose one of the selected people.Natalia waited for his reply as her eyes examined his face with a scowl.“I got it,” he said.She let out a sneer. "I knew it. Such a liar you are!""Not your family's call. I got what could have happened. Maybe your dad called me but my secretary declined him from approaching me. She was close to Lynda. So maybe she did it intentionally."Natalia was taken by surprise. How
Adrian froze in his place. His hands trembled as he took a step back from Natalia.His chest moved from her palm as her hand was still in its position. He let out a shaky breath as he nodded his head."If that's what you want, then..."He could not find any more words to say. Was she not the person he loved the most? Didn't he confess to her a few hours ago? Why was she speaking as though she were talking about someone else?How could he think of losing her? He could never think of that. He loved her.He realized tonight that it was always her. Both his wolf and his heart belonged to her. That was why he married her, even if he knew he could avoid the marriage. That night, he felt her wholly and wanted to wrap his arms around her once again. He always caused her pain, but he never considered losing her.Maybe it was the reason when she suddenly disappeared from his sight, he had lost his mind.Natalia saw him moving away from her. She looked away and turned around.She then left him i
Natalia's POVIt had been a week since I found out about my adoptive parents and Lynda.The whole week, I thought about how Adrian asked for forgiveness. I wanted to push all of his thoughts but could not keep my cool.On the other hand, Max went out of the pack for some time. He said that when he returned, he would talk to me about something.One good thing that happened this week was that Eric was getting better. His health was improving a lot. Since Max was giving him the cure that he discovered for the poison, his health was getting better daily. I did not know how to thank Max more. I owed a lot to him. He came into my life not just as a second chance but as an angel who could remove all the danger from my family."How are you feeling today?" I asked Eric.These days, he could sit at the table and eat with us.It made me very happy to see him back in good health."I'm fine. All thanks to Doctor Max," Eric replied, chewing his food."He is really a good man," my mother said, prai
I blinked a couple of times after reading the card. I did not know who could write such things."Who sent it?" Liana asked as she walked towards me."I don't know," I mumbled, staring at the roses.The young man looked unfamiliar to me. I did not even get the chance to ask him who sent the flowers to me. Max was also not in the pack."Based on how he was bowing to you, I believe it is from Alpha."Liana's words caused me to pause. I turned to her and asked,"Do you really think so?""Yeah."Everyone was aware of what Adrian had done to his girlfriend. Liana knew I was his ex-wife. So she assumed it could be Adrian.My eyes darkened as I raised the bouquet to throw it in the trash can, but another small card caught my attention as it fell on the floor from inside it.I bent down and grabbed the card to read it."Don't throw it. I am the one whom you should throw, not the roses. Next time, when we meet, you can fight me. I will wait for that day."My fingers clenched the card as I shut
The driver glanced at Adrian and then at me. He started the car but drove slowly."Natalia."I heard Adrian shouting my name from behind the car. I did not pay attention to his voice."Wait.""Don't leave.""Listen to me.""Hey! Stop the car."I was shocked when he ran to pace the car. The driver immediately stopped the car when Adrian reached for the door."Why did yo–"I was about to scold the driver, but before that, Adrian opened the door and got inside the car to sit next to me.I was surprised. "What are you doing?"He looked at the driver and said, "Now let's go."The driver chuckled because he thought Adrian was my boyfriend, and I was mad at him.I gave Adrian a stern look and asked,"What the hell!"He let out a deep breath as he looked at me. I felt awkward because of how close he was sitting to me.I moved a little to make distance from him. I tightened my fists in anger.'What is wrong with you?" I asked him."I have been thinking about what you told me that night."I was
