"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
Adrian's POVI watched her leave me alone in the cabin. I stared at the door when she closed it behind her after leaving.It was anger that caused my fists to tighten. I was mad at myself."Why can't I just control myself?" I roared in anger.She was so nice to me a while ago. Why did I even dare to touch her? I even made her cry."All you can do is make her cry. You are good for nothing," I muttered to myself as I punched on the wall next to me."I just hate myself right now."I could not control my anger as I punched the wall once again. A few nurses rushed into my room, only to find my bandaged palm bleeding again.When they touched my hand, I yanked my hand away. I pushed them and left the cabin.By the time I came out of the hospital, Natalia had already left. I looked around to see where she was.It was late at night, and I was concerned about her safety."Don't forget who she is." My wolf reminded me that she was a powerful wolf.“I know, but she is my woman. I am still concern
"Alpha, where to?"My driver asked me when I was busy smoking while thinking about something."Pack house."The driver started the car and turned it in the direction of the pack house. I wanted to go there for my children.I almost thought about going to a bar to have some drinks since my mind was messed up. But then I felt needy for my close people. I wanted to spend my time with my babies.They were not just my children but the traces of my love. I loved their mother very much. I had no idea if I would ever be able to get her back, but I promise that I would never show her any sign of anger. I did not want to see her upset again. That was the main fact.I knew only I could make her happy in her life. There is no one else who could love her as much as I did.If people thought of me as arrogant about this matter, then I was arrogant. But no one could want her more than Alpha Adrian did.As I arrived at the pack house, the first thing I did was check on my mother. After going to the be
