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
Natalia's POV"Mommy, please."Aria's pleading voice rang out of the phone.I rubbed my forehead and mumbled, "Baby, Mommy can't go right now. You know Mommy has a job, right?"I could hear Noah's voice a short distance from the phone."Mommy, we will cry if you do not go with us."I bit my bottom lip. It looked like my son was really serious about it.My children have been trying to convince me to accompany them on a trip for the past ten minutes. I also wanted to give them my time. However, I had to go to the coffee shop. It was not possible for me to request a leave of absence for more than a single day."Mommy, everything is ready. We had a conversation with dad, and he made arrangements for us to go on vacation. He arranged everything and permitted us to go with you," Aria said with a sheepish voice.To persuade Adrian to allow them to go with me alone, they might try quite a few times. I felt bad for my children. I did not want to break their hearts."It's okay, Mommy. If you do
I told everyone in my house that I was going with my children on a trip. I was extremely happy. The fact that there was so much going on in my life made me realize that I needed to go on this trip.There was a lot of confusion in my mind when I left the hospital last night. I decided to ignore Adrian from now on."Who will go with you three?" my father inquired.Having a frown on my face, I asked,"Dad, you think I am a kid? Of course, no one. I will accompany them alone.""I believe Alpha Adrian should send one of his officials to accompany you three.""What? Why?"Eric spoke out as he was listening to our conversation, and he replied instead of my father,"Because they are Alpha Adrian's children. They must be protected at all costs. People around the packs fixed their eyes on them. There is no way that we can take a chance."After giving it some thought for a while, I finally got up and shook my head. "No need. I will take care of them alone."My mother let out a sigh as she knew h
"YOU!!!"I let out a shocked tone. He chuckled as he muttered,"Too cute for that reaction."I gave him a hard look. "What are you doing here?""Going with my family on vacation. Can't you see that?"His sassy tone urged me to throw my hands at him. Nevertheless, I tried to calm down but failed to do that when I saw a security guard at my house placing my luggage in the trunk of the car.I turned to my children and asked,"You two. Why is your dad here?""Mommy, dad is also going with us," Aria said."What? Why? You two didn't tell me that he was also going with us."Noah shot back, shaking his head, "We never said he was not going either. Mommy, we are happy that dad is also with us."I could not believe Adrian had tricked me. I turned to the door and attempted to open it."I am not going anywhere with him."I could not open the door because it was locked. I turned my head to Adrian and said,“Unlock the door right now. You and I can't go anywhere together. You can go with the kids i
I tightened my fists. "Why are you calling me that? How dare you?""Calm down, woman. Do you want your kids to see your angry face?"I glanced at my children, who were staring at us with innocent eyes.“Dad calls mommy 'baby’. She is his baby,” Aria said to Noah and laughed.I turned my head back with anger and let out a deep breath."Shut up, Adrian. Let's not talk to each other."The entire ride was silent.After an hour passed, I still did not know where we were going. I had only heard that we were going somewhere where we could spend three days cheerfully.“Where are we going?" I asked Adrian.He did not reply to me. I frowned and looked at him with confusion."Are you deaf? Why are you not replying to me?"While driving the car, Adrian made small tapping motions with his fingers on the steering wheel. His long and slender fingers were wrapping around the wheel loosely. She forced her gaze to move away from it.She cleared her throat and inquired,"I asked where we were going.""W
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
Hazel's sister-in-law, Ansel Leighton, was shocked. She did not expect Natalia to respond like that. Her eyes widened and glowed with anger."Did you just—"Lucas Miller, Adrian's father, stopped her from speaking when he noticed the atmosphere growing heated."Please don't take her words to heart."Natalia looked at Lucas to see why he had stopped Ansel. She wanted to hear her out before responding with what she deserved.A shameless family like Leighton deserved to be insulted rather than respected."My sister is very blunt. "She never considers who is in front of her; she always stands for the truth," Jason stated proudly.Ansel raised an eyebrow and said, "Then she should stand the truth this time as well. The truth is that someone else is carrying her husband's children. How can she not show her support for the woman? Can't she support the feelings of these two people and make her own decision?"Natalia clenched her jaw. How did she know what she and Adrian had talked about befor
Natalia was surprised to hear her brother. She glanced at the old man once again.Was what her brother said right?Her eyes quickly swept over Adrian's bandaged forehead. Before he could catch her eyes, she averted her gaze off of him.She pondered, 'Was it Old Leighton who was responsible for the burn on his forehead?’By telling herself that she did not care about Adrian anymore, she attempted to calm her heart.Through a hushed voice, she responded to her brother, "Okay."Jason shrugged his shoulders and said to the old man with a grin.“You are talking about culture and rules? In spite of the restrictions that my pack imposed, have you forgotten how I managed to make it to your pack? You are aware of the reason why I went there, right?”The expression on the old man's face changed. His thick brows furrowed, but then he let out a chuckle."I see I have offended Alpha Jason. Don't mind my words. I was only talking about terms. If that offends Alpha Jason, I apologize."Natalia was s
In the silent living roomEveryone's attention was on Natalia. The three new people scrutinized her with their predatory eyes.The pair of emerald eyes, which had been experienced by seeing many things, keened by focusing on her."How can you refer to her as this pack's Luna when there hasn't been a crown ceremony yet?"Hearing the strong voice, which did not shake a bit even though the owner was old, took Natalia aback.She turned her head to look at the old man. She felt awkward inside after meeting his gaze.It appeared that he possessed far more power than she had expected. The power of the wizarding world was something she was not unaware of. The words that he spoke pierced her heart and brought her to the realization of something that she had neglected to remember.'Crown Ceremony!' she thought, averting her gaze from the old man.She came to the realization that she had not yet earned the title of Luna of this pack. The reflection of the night the Crown Ceremony flashed on her
Natalia scrutinized the three people who did not greet her and instead went to take seats on the couches. Adrian did not even bother introducing her to them. She felt like an outsider.For once, she wanted to leave them for now.However, her brother held her hand and shook his head, indicating that she should not leave at this time."I hope we will not bring up the past. Our children made some mistakes; we will try to solve this," Lucas Miller said with a soft tone.Natalia remained composed, trying to concentrate on their conversation.The young woman had not yet sat down on the couch. She walked up to Adrian and stood beside him."Refreshing to see you again, Alpha Adrian."She was grinning charmingly, and as she gazed at him, her eyes glistened.She raised her hand and gently laid it on his shoulder before brushing something out of its way. As she slowly ran her fingernails over his shirt sleeve, she spoke again while gazing at the bandage around his forehead."You shouldn't have l
At the moment of hearing that, Natalia and Jason both appeared surprised.The Leighton family?Natalia almost forgot that she had heard Gamma Benjamin telling her that some guests were coming to the pack house. He did not say who the guests were, so she was unaware of their identities.Hearing that it was the Leighton family, Natalia felt a shift in her heart.Did they learn that Adrian agreed to accept Hazel and her child? Was it the reason for their arrival?Right after the guards, three people came to the site. They entered the pack house with their green eyes observing the surroundings around them.Natalia examined the three people.They looked powerful—really powerful.There was just one woman among the two men. The woman was young, but she could be two or three years older than Natalia.While the two men have different ages. One was a young man with a calm face, while the other appeared to be the family's main character.It was an elderly gentleman with emerald eyes. A power ema
The color of Adrian's eyes faded from black to brown. He frowned at her upon hearing her statement. He grabbed her wrist and questioned with a raspy voice,"Rule this pack on your own? You mean you want to rule my pack alone?"All of a sudden, she experienced a burning sensation in her wrist. The fact that his hand could cause her to experience such a burning sensation in her head was a mystery to her. Her grip loosened in shock.He was able to successfully get her to move away from him. It caused her to retreat a few steps back. As she was perplexed, her legs became unbalanced.Jason noticed his sister was about to fall. He hurried over to her and prevented her from falling by holding her.His head turned to Adrian, and he let out a low growl. He was filled with rage, and he had a strong desire to kill this man right at this moment."How dare you push her?"He was concerned that this man would cause harm to Natalia's child. Yeah, it was Natalia's child only. The idea of her living wi
Natalia's eyes turned a glowing dark blue. With her teeth gritted, she shot her gaze at Adrian.His parents were taken aback by her words. It was disrespectful to them. Natalia had never dared to do that before. She was always courteous and respectful towards them."Natalia!"Grace reacted angrily. Her eyes narrowed as she spoke,"We have been showing you care all these years. But by saying that you can kill us, you have just shown what our place is in your eyes."Grace looked at her husband, Lucas Miller, as she held his arm."Your father-in-law adores you and has always wanted you to be his daughter-in-law. He never accepted Lynda, and he never mentioned liking Hazel. But today, you disrespected this old man."Natalia turned a blind eye to all the things Grace Miller was saying. The moment Adrian announced that he was going to take Hazel as his mistress, she had completely lost her mind, and his parents did not even object to the idea.Upon seeing Adrian's expression of indifference,
Jason's eyes were filled with rage, which caused him to growl so loudly that Grace Miller was forced to cover her ears. After all among the four werewolves, she was the only person who was not an Alpha. Hazel was the exception, she was a witch.He turned around and looked directly at Hazel. She was trying to avoid his gaze."Are you pregnant with his child?"He asked her the question because he did not believe in it. Hearing about the mistress seemed less shocking than hearing this news.His teeth clenched as he stared at Hazel.Hazel stepped aside, appearing frightened, and stood behind Adrian. But there was no mercy in Jason's eyes. His eyes followed her every step. He noticed that she was firmly gripping Adrian's suit sleeve."Stop scaring her. She is pregnant. I don't want my unborn child hurt by anything."Natalia jerked up when she heard Adrian's words. She clutched her dress around her stomach with her hand.'His unborn child? Isn't his unborn child in my womb? Why is he acknow
