Adrian's eyes widened with shock. Natalia could read the expression clearly. She appeared surprised that he would make such an expression."What are you so shocked about?" she asked.Adrian glanced at the card and asked,"Bed service? Do you think last night was a bed service?""Of course. That is nothing more than that. I must say, you did an excellent job," she said.He stared at the card for a long time without saying anything. He was upset with her for saying that, as well as with himself for silently listening to all of this.However, the past came to his mind.He did the same thing with her. He referred to the nights she had spent with him as only bed service. He had gone so far that he gave her his bank card in exchange.But he remembered that he gave her that card so that she could spend the rest of her life with the money. He was angry with her at the time, so he said whatever came to mind, but his intent was not wrong."Don't think too much. Once, I used to give you bed serv
Adrian's proposal of remarriage to Natalia was unexpected. She was shocked at first. When she had come out of the bedroom, she thought to react coldly to Adrian. But when he dropped to one knee in front of her, she had no idea why her heart skipped a beat.That time, she reminded herself of the past and controlled her heart. There was no way she could let her heart beat this man ever again. She was not a soft-hearted woman who could be melted at any time.She was a woman of words. When she used to love him, she loved him unconditionally. However, his chapter in her life ended the moment she made the decision that it was over. She was unwilling to turn the pages once more.When she gave him the card, she expected to humiliate him in the same way he had done years before. Only she knew how broken she was that day.But the way Adrian accepted the card, it offended her. She felt that this man was insufferable. He just wanted what he desired. He did not care about anything else.She scoffe
Natalia rushed toward Jason. Everyone turned around to her when they heard her voice. Her mother was crying in happiness while her father and Eric were standing close to the bed with a bright face.All of them were happy, and at the same time, they were surprised to see Jason open his eyes.They could not just believe in their own eyes.Natalia hugged her brother tightly. "Brother, you opened your eyes! Am I dreaming? I can't believe it. Tell me it's true."Jason slowly raised his hand and placed it on her back.She cried on her brother's chest while embracing him. Without him, she had become all alone in her life. His brother was a shadow to him. When he was there with her, no one dared to touch their family, but when he fell sick, everyone took advantage of it. The pack members lost their pack, and her family lost their home and respect. Everything turned into dust.She sobbed as all the pain she had been holding inside came out after getting her brother back."I missed you, brother
Everyone turned their heads toward Natalia. Eric walked to her and muttered, "Let's not talk about it. He has just woken up. It can affect his health."Natalia realized that she should not have asked that to her brother at that time. She bit her bottom lip and lowered her head."It's okay, brother. We will talk about it later."Jason gazed at Natalia. He looked a little weak, but it was because he had woken up after a very long time. Otherwise, he was feeling perfectly fine from the inside.When he heard Natalia's question, he recalled the war. He could not remember much, but he could remember meeting Adrian and submitting to him."My own friend betrayed me, and the person I used to think was my enemy came to give me a hand in the war. I felt the biggest betrayal in my life at that time. I regret the decisions that I made in the past."Jade patted Jason's hand and asked,"So Alpha Adrian really did come to our aid?""Yes, mom."His eyes moved around the room, and he said,"He really p
Natalia came to her room with so many thoughts and different emotions. Her body lay on the bed as her eyes closed.She could not just forget what her brother had told her about Adrian.How could an Alpha be willing to accept another man's heir? Not even an ordinary Alpha but a head Alpha. Everyone knew no one would accept that.Then why did Adrian want to do that?Her eyes slowly opened. She looked at the ceiling with a heavy heart.Her brother said that Adrian went to the war just for her.Her brother, who used to hate Adrian the most, talked like Adrian had melted his heart.Her breath hitched when she recalled last night. She slowly lifted her hand and placed it on her chest.Tears rolled down her eyes.Last night, she heard him tell her that he loved her. She wasn't asleep at that time. She had made herself deaf because she was too cold to hear what he was saying.She wiped her eyes to take a deep breath. Today, she showed Adrian how she felt when he had treated her that badly in
Natalia was taken aback by the news. Her eyes widened as she turned her head toward her family. Now she understood why they were not replying to her. It was because they were also astounded. Why did Adrian do that? Jason had already submitted to him. There was no promise that he made about giving back the pack to Jason either.Then why?"Brother?" she mumbled, looking at Jason.Jason let out a sigh as he had no words.Alpha Martin rubbed his forehead as if he were speechless. “Alpha Adrian turns out to be a very kind man.”“I can't believe he announced that!" Natalia's mother, Jade, said.Eric stared at Jason as he was eager to know his Alpha's decision.Jason tried to get up. Eric and Natalia were about to help him, but before they could, the men reached him and helped him stand up.Jason shook his head as he looked at his parents."I can't take over the pack again. That man won it. It was not like I had surrendered to him, and the war had ended. He killed Alpha Leo and won the war
Adrian looked at Jason calmly; his eyes were serene."No need to bow to me anymore. You are the head Alpha of another pack. I am no longer your Alpha," Adrian said to Jason, then glanced at his parents and Eric.Adrian gave them a nod and roamed his gaze around until they paused on the woman standing near the couch.Natalia immediately looked away from him. He moved his gaze and fixed his eyes on Jason again.Jason looked at Adrian carefully. He had always despised this man and considered him a criminal who had ruined his sister's life. However, everything changed, and now he had a feeling that only this man was able to handle his sister.He was the best match for his sister, and fate did not make the wrong decision for them as it made them mates.When Eric told him this morning about Natalia and Max being together, he did not want to accept the fact. However, it was his sister's life. He would never make her personal decision. She had suffered a lot in her life, and he had no right t
Adrian did not look at anyone and replied,“That was not only his fault. I am equally at fault here. I ruined your sister's life, and she has been suffering for me all these years."Natalia got up from her chair and said,"I'm leaving for the coffee shop."Everyone looked at her, except Adrian. It was as if he was avoiding looking at her.She turned around and left the dining room. She went out of her house and stood there for a while.She did not know why she could not take a step forward. She left the table because she did not want to hear about their past again.If her brother decided to take over the Blue Blood Pack again, that meant they would leave this pack soon.She also wanted to leave this pack. It was because she wanted to go back to her old life again. She did not want to remain here to face her past again and again.She unhurriedly checked her bag and realized that she had forgotten to take her phone. Before leaving her room, she thought to take it from there, but right n
Taking a deep breath, Hazel knew she had to tell them everything."That witch's powers were imprisoned with ash in a jar, and the door had been locked for years. My sister-in-law, Ansel, is the coven's second highest-ranking witch after that woman. So, all these years, Ansel tried her hardest to break the door and free the powers so that she could take over them.So when Natalia broke the door, the powers were freed, and Ansel possessed them all. Now she is the most powerful witch."Natalia recalled what had happened in that room. She had assumed she would die, but she did not.Hazel stepped toward Natalia and said,"Sister, I am sorry for what happened to you. But I had nothing in my hands. I was not alone. My child was with me. So I had to follow whatever they told me. The only thing I could do was not open the door. Before you opened it, I used to tell them that I had not found the door."Natalia's eyes lowered as she noticed Hazel caressing her own stomach.Natalia's eyes blurred
Natalia was shocked as her eyes widened. She heard something she could not believe."Y-Your child? H-How?" she mumbled.She felt as though the sky had fallen on her. She was not in a state to feel anything. She was confused and puzzled.Jason sighed and looked at her.“I met her in her pack. There was never anything between her and Adrian. The child is mine, and I spent a night with her a few months ago."Natalia shook her head. Her hand slipped away from Jason's hand."That's not possible. She manipulated you, brother. You have never talked about her. And why did she lie when the child is not Adrian's? Why is he even trying to protect her? He himself admitted that that child is his."Hazel looked at Natalia and stepped toward her. Natalia raised a hand, stopping her from approaching her. "Don't. You can manipulate everyone but me. I didn't forget how you warned me to leave Adrian's life."Hazel clenched her jaw and said angrily, "I also warned you about that door. Why did you break i
Natalia was in disbelief. "Do you think I am a fool? You can not just show up and make a fool of me. At first, your Alpha said that Hazel is nothing to him, then he let her stay in the pack house. Later, he claimed that the child she was carrying was not his, and I believed him again. But what about now?"Her questions pierced like daggers toward Patric. He lowered his head in defeat. "I know you have to tolerate a lot.""Tolerate a lot? All of my life, I have been only suffering for your Alpha. He said he wants me to leave this pack."Natalia could not stop herself from telling Patric everything that hurt her heart."He smashed my love in front of my brother. He told him to take me away with him. Can you imagine how well I controlled myself at that time?"She leaned back against her chair, closing her eyes and shaking her head. "It is all because of my children. I am bearing everything just for them."Patric took a deep breath and said, "I came back yesterday. I have collected all of
Natalia was shocked when his lips touched hers.She tried to push him. But Adrian did not let her go.He felt sharp pain in his head as if something was exploding inside. His hands wrapped around her waist, pressing his body against hers.As though he had been longing for it, his rough kiss turned desperate.Natalia became so enraged that she shoved him with her wolf strength.He retrieved a few steps back. Natalia growled at him."How dare you do that?"His brows shot up as if he was confused by his own action. His gaze roamed around the floor until they lifted up to look at her.As if his eyes could change colors, they turned dark brown, and suddenly they flashed red for a moment.She recalled that before the accident he looked like that."Get out of this room right now," she said, glaring at him. She did not want to see him.He did not move as he stared at her with a pair of lost eyes.When she saw he was not moving, she opened the door and walked out of the room.There was no way
Natalia's eyes were on the door. She had seen Hazel leaving the house. For some reason, she guessed who she went after.'What is her relationship with my brother?' she thought."Miss Natalia"She looked away from the door and turned to Alpha Jonas. She smiled at him.This noon, when Adrian sent the necklace to her, she was surprised at first but scoffed after learning his words from Damia.She knew this man could never care for her. He was a devil in disguise who was showing his true colors with passing time.So when Alpha Jonas called her today to ask what she would like to have, she told him that she desired a necklace. She wanted to wear it in front of Adrian to mock him."The more I see you, the more I feel like I have never seen this much beauty," he remarked with a chuckle.Natalia grinned at him and said, "Alpha Jonas is flirting with me. Does his girlfriend know about it?"In a blink of a second, all the color washed away from his face.Natalia noticed this, lifted her hand, a
Adrian tried to think why did Jason make an alliance with them in the first place. What exactly did he want?He was able to see the expressions of shock plastered across the faces of all of the Leightons. They were not expecting this. To them, it was like a blow to the head.Adrian assumed that Jason did that because Natalia wanted it. But Natalia's eyes were hazel all the time. Her eyes kept observing her when her brother was talking to her.Ansel's anger caused his fingers to become more firmly gripped on the jewelry boxes. The old Leighton looked mad at Jason while Rick appeared to be fierce."You will pay for it, Alpha Jason," Ansel said, leaving the room.Her husband and the old Leighton followed her behind as if she were the main member of the family.Jason rolled his eyes. He turned his head to Adrian and said,"You will be next to face something like this."It was a warning.Adrian did not like it when he said that in front of other businessmen.Jason gave Natalia a small smil
Adrian's eyes darkened when Natalia smiled with her red lips and looked in another direction.Adrian's gaze shifted on the way and found Alpha Jonas grinning at Natalia."A beautiful necklace for a precious woman. I have always admired her when she was the CEO of her father's company. She is a pure beauty. It's bad luck that she decided to stay here. But if you want to come with me, I will not take any mistress for my whole life."Adrian glared at the man as he found his words mocking toward him.Jason scoffed at Jonas and said, "She is a stubborn woman. She doesn't listen to anyone. Otherwise, Alpha Adrian is ready to leave her. Isn't it Alpha Adrian?"Jason's gaze met Adrian's like a clash colliding.Hazel was about to say something, but Ansel shook her head at her.Natalia walked toward her brother and let out a chuckle. "Let's focus on the birthday girl. Looks like I took all the limelight away from her."Hazel stared at Natalia. There were some untold words that were conveyed thr
Adrian left the company, neglecting the idea of having lunch with Patric.He got inside the car and told his driver to drive to a restaurant.He was on his way back to the company after lunch when he received a message from Ansel informing him that tonight was Hazel's birthday and that he should give her a present.Adrian's car stopped in front of a jewelry shop. He went inside the shop and told the staff to pack something that would look good on a young woman.A female employee approached him and showed him a few designs. Adrian was not interested in choosing, but his eyes fell on a beautiful necklace.He did not know why, but looking at the necklace, his mind reflected Natalia's face."Pack this one."The female employee smiled at him and packed the necklace. When she was about to hand it to him, he said,"I told you to pick one."The woman was stunned. "Oh, you want another one?"She thought he was going to buy only one necklace. The woman picked the best design and showed it to Ad
When the elevator door opened and they arrived at the first floor, Adrian gave him a stern look and was ready to reprimand him.Adrian exited the elevator first, and Patric followed, intending to go check on Adrian's condition with the pack doctor.At that time, they ran into Benjamin.Adrian took a halt when Benjamin bowed to him.With a pair of cold eyes, Adrian said to him,"I warned you to stay away from that woman. She is not good for our pack."Benjamin lowered his head before glancing at Patric. Patric was staring at him. He exhaled and returned his gaze to Adrian."Alpha, she is my Luna. It is my responsibility to protect her when everyone is against her."Adrian tightened his fists while glaring at Benjamin. Meanwhile, Patric focused his gaze on Adrian. "Didn't you say you don't like her? Why do you care if Benjamin roams around her? You want her to leave this pack anyway."Gamma Benjamin was shocked. He shook his head as he realized Adrian had misunderstood his pure intentio
