I pushed Adrian's hand away from my lips. I tried to sit up but got hurt when my forehead bumped into his."Ugh!"He immediately moved back, and I sat up.He sat beside me on the edge of the bed and rubbed my forehead. "Oh, oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you would get hurt."I glared at him under the slight light of the moonlight. I could not see his expression.I pushed his hand. "Go away.""Let me see.""Don't touch me. Keep your distance from me.""I was jus–""No, go back to your couch.""But–""Now."I pointed him to the couch. He heaved a sigh and then returned to his couch.I lay on the bed and muttered,"This man came here just to disturb me, huh!"I said it loudly so he would hear me. I then sent a message to Max that I was getting sleepy. He told me to sleep well.The following morning, the hotel organized a tour package for us because it had been pre-arranged with the hotel reservation. Amanda remained inside the hotel while the four of us went outside. She said she felt a
Third POV“Accept it.”“Accept it.”“Accept it.”"Mommy, please accept the rose.""Yes, Mommy."As couples around them gathered and cheered for accepting the rose, Aria and Noah also requested their mother.Natalia looked around her and felt that she would have to accept the rose from Adrian even if she did not want to. Otherwise, it would create a scene.She wanted to leave the place as soon as possible because now people were paying attention to them. If someone recognized Adrian, she believed that they would post it on social media, and everything would spread like wildfire as new rumors, which was something that she did not want at all.She turned her gaze to Adrian, who was looking at her with a pair of eyes that were filled with hope.She looked away from him and quickly snatched the rose from his hand.Everyone clapped their hands together in unison after seeing that. Adrian smiled at Natalia and thanked the old woman.The old woman glanced over at Natalia and gave him a slight
In the moment that Natalia's body landed on Adrian, he turned his gaze to Natalia. Her face hid on his neck as if she were still shocked by the pull, and she did not move at all. He could feel the warmth of her body. He sensed something when her breasts were pressed up against him.He tilted his head and whispered in her ear,"Are you seducing me, baby?"Natalia came back to her senses when she heard him. His deep voice, as well as the way her body felt against him, caused goosebumps to appear all over her body.She placed her hands on his chest and moved up to look at him. She had an angry face as she asked,"How dare you say that?"His eyes moved slowly downward until they stopped on her chest. When Natalia lowered her head, she realized that her cleavage was exposed. Almost half of her breasts were visible in front of him since the night dress moved with the pull."Pervert!"She tried to get away from his body, but a pair of hands wrapped around her waist prevented her from moving.
As soon as Natalia felt his lips on hers, her eyes widened. He moved his lips slowly over hers as he kissed her. His lips captured her bottom lip and sucked. Adrian was mesmerized by her soft lips and the sweet scent emanating from her body. Instead of giving her a hard kiss, he gave her a soft, delicate kiss. His hands rose up her body from her waist to her face. He cupped her cheeks with both of his hands and kissed her deeply. It was what he had been missing all the time. He could kiss her for the entire night. She was his woman. He wanted to keep her safe in his arms. He did not mind how much she remained angry with him; he believed he deserved her anger. However, he wanted to express his madness toward her. He loved her passionately, and he wanted to express it through his kisses. He licked her soft lips, flipped his tongue, and tried to push it into her mouth. He was longing for the taste of her mouth. He missed the way he made the woman breathless with his kisses. As
She pushed his chest, which caused him to move backward. He came dangerously close to falling onto the couch, but he managed to keep his balance."Not valid? Do you think I need to give you any validation? Who are you to me? Are you my husband? No, Adrian Miller. You are no longer anyone to me. Keep it in your mind as soon as possible."Adrian bit his tongue in anger. His tongue's blood, which had previously stopped, began to rush out again.“There is no reason for you to feel guilty if you are thinking that you are cheating on someone. Your destiny has chosen you to be with me. So if you are cheating on someone, then it is on me. I am your mate. So before you even consider any other man in your life, you need to give some thought to me. There is no other relationship in this world that can compare to the validity of this mate bond.”With a glare in his direction, Natalia took a step forward."What did you just say? I am cheating on you and the mate bond? Then what were you doing with
Natalia rubbed her forehead as she made her way to the door."I can't sleep here anymore. My ears can't take your nonsense. All I can say is I hate your touch and your kiss. That's disgusting!"In response to her words, which struck him like arrows in the chest, Adrian clenched his fist. He walked forward and reached the door before her.She paused when he opened the door before her. He turned his head to look at her and said,"You can sleep in this room peacefully. I won't disturb you again."Saying that, he turned to the door. As he stepped out of the room, something came to his mind, so he turned to look at her once again.She was looking at her indifferently."Please accept my apologies if the kiss was offensive to you."With her arms crossed over her chest, Natalia uttered,“All these dramas of yours—when will you stop all of this? A man who loves someone knows how to control himself. You will never learn that. Do you know why? Because you have never loved me. For some reason, yo
Natalia woke up late today. It was because she did not get enough sleep last night. She was mad at herself for approaching Adrian in the first place. She prayed that the day would pass quickly so that she could return home tomorrow.Amanda knocked on the door when Natalia had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower.She opened the door and looked at Amanda.Amanda was carrying a tray of food.“You skipped breakfast. As it is already noon, I came with brunch.”Natalia glanced at the tray as she observed the dishes. She stepped aside to allow Amanda to enter.As Amanda made her way to the bed to place the tray, Natalia asked her,"What are Aria and Noah doing?"After placing the tray on the bed, Amanda turned to her and responded,"They are playing inside their rooms. Alpha called me to take the children into a kids zone. In fact, he sent his guards as well.”Natalia raised a brow. "Why can't I go with them?"Amanda chuckled as she replied,“Of course, you can.”Suddenly, sh
Natalia was losing her mind with every passing second. She could not understand what to do. She did not bring the cure for the heat with her. Despite the fact that she was standing on the balcony and in the midst of a chilly breeze, she started to experience a sensation of heat, and her body began to sweat."Ahh!"She let out a low moan as she tried to close her legs tightly. Her entire body and her wolf only desired to mate with an alpha wolf.The lust that she felt within her began to intensify. As soon as she felt a few drops of rain falling on her, she promptly retreated a few steps. As she raised her head, she noticed that the rain began to pour. She decided to go back to her room. The sensation of her lower abdomen caused her eyes to well up with tears.When she felt the pain, she clenched her dress tightly around her belly and closed her eyes.She shook her head as rain fell inside the balcony and over her.Under the rain, she could not move. Her jaw was clenched tightly, and
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
