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
"W-What?"Natalia asked, as she could not even blink after hearing Adrian.He was so close to her that she could feel his heart racing, which indicated that he was nervous.His desperate look indicated that he was telling her the truth. It was what he wanted.Natalia's eyes were filled with shock as she looked into his.She assumed he would never approach her again after their conversation in the forest that night.Adrian's eyes were full of admiration as he looked at her. The low, dim lights of the street lamps continued to shine on her face, illuminating the lines on her face.He could not help but move a little closer to her. He wanted to hold her in his arms and never let go.Sudey, the car moved on the bumpy road, causing him to fall onto her.When Natalia felt the touch of a pair of warm lips in the corner of her lips, her eyes widened.She immediately pushed Adrian away from her body, causing him to back away.As if he could not understand how fast everything happened, he clear
"Stop the car."Natalia snatched her hand from Adrian's grip and looked at the cab driver."I said stop the car."The cab driver was stunned by her sudden yell. When he was about to turn the car around to come to a stop in a corner, he noticed that another vehicle was approaching from the opposite direction. As a result, the driver had to turn the car to the opposite side.As the car moved at such a rapid pace, Natalia's body moved in the direction of the window. She was on the verge of hitting her head on the window glass when it almost touched her.But Adrian pulled her head closer to his chest. His hand pressed against the window glass next to Natalia, preventing it from touching her head.Natalia was shocked.She had been in a car accident before. That night, she was close to death. That night, this man came to her rescue, almost crashing his car to stop her car. He saved her that time.In her hatred of her past, she almost forgot about that incident.The driver lost control as he
Adrian stared at Natalia. It was like he had seen a glint of worry in her eyes, which jolted his heart.He smiled at her as his fierce face calmed down slowly. He glanced at his hand. His palm was bleeding, but the pain was nothing to him.However, he did not want to show his bravery in front of her. For the first time, he wanted to look weak."You are right," he muttered in a low tone.Natalia lifted her gaze to look at him. His eyes locked with hers. She let go of his hand when she realized she was holding it.She immediately turned to the door and opened it. Before getting out of the cab, she said,"I'm leaving. Thanks for saving me."Adrian hurriedly got out of the cab after her. He saw her walking ahead.With a frown in his face, he ran after her.“Hey! How can you be so cruel? Don’t you think I should go to the pack hospital to get my wound treated?”Natalia took a pause to turn to him. "I considered it for a while, but then realized who you are. Just heal it. What's the issue?"
Natalia shut her mouth as she did not have anything to say. She thought accompanying him to the pack hospital would not hurt her.Adrian came to sit next to her, and the driver started the car, heading to the pack hospital.The whole ride was silent. Natalia did not turn her head away from the window.Meanwhile, Adrian stared at her all the time. If a wound could keep her with him, he was willing to be injured every second.He looked down at his palm. It would have healed long ago, but he stopped his wolf from doing so. His wolf was also pleased to have the opportunity to be closer to his mate.The car stopped in front of the pack hospital. Natalia was the one who stepped out of the car first. She turned and saw Adrian coming out.They went inside the hospital. People cast glances at them. Some of them recognized them, while others did not, fortunately.Adrian did not care about it. All he wanted to care about was Natalia's presence close to him.His mood was so fine that he did not r
Natalia's POVAdrian's words froze me. I could not refrain myself from pushing him.My push caused him to move back. His eyes were full of mixed emotions. They were soft, and the dominant aura almost blended with them. It was as if he wanted to hide it from me."You are an asshole."I muttered as I stepped back."I have never seen a shameless man like you. What do you think of me? Do I look like a woman who can cheat on her partner? It's you, Adrian Miller. You like to do these kinds of things, not me."Adrian stared at me without responding. He remained calm, as if he expected me to react this way. I could not understand why he was acting that way."You can never change, Adrian. Everything you say and do is fake, just like you." I said that and walked to the door.As I opened the cabin door, a bandaged hand pressed against the door beside my head.I was stunned. Adrian leaned toward me from behind. I immediately turned around, only to find him closer to me.I took a shaky breath as I
Adrian tilted his head and leaned close to my ear. I assumed he would whisper a warning because he had done so before.But rather than warning or saying anything, he pressed his lips against my cheek.I gasped when I felt that. My hand quickly moved to his shoulders, attempting to move him away.But he removed his hands from the wall and wrapped his arms around me to lock me in his arms.He pressed his body against mine as he hugged me tightly. I was unmoved in my place. My body jolted as if it desired to be touched by him."Leave me," I said, trying to move him once again.His nose rubbed against my neck as he shook his head.His action hitched my breath. His touch on my neck felt blissful to my wolf. I was losing control over both my wolf and my body."Adrian, wh–""You know how much I hurt you. I wish I could rip my heart apart to show you what I feel for you. You are the only woman in my life. I could never touch another woman after you divorced me and left my life. Everything was
