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
Natalia was shocked. "W-What?"She immediately opened the folder and began to read what was written inside it.She saw that Adrian was telling the truth. She could now live with her children. She was not required to wait for three days of each week to pass before she could see her children again. She could see them whenever she wanted."Your family is leaving this pack tonight."Natalia froze when she heard that. She looked at him and asked, "Tonight?""Do you want to leave right now?" he asked with an upset tone.She could see he did not look happy. However, the expressive nature that he had been possessing for all of these months had dried up, and he had evolved into a man who did not show his feelings to other people.Adrian took a deep breath, as if it were tough for him to remain calm. He cleared his throat and said,"I realized I hurt to the extent that there is no way to repair your heart for me. You said you would be happy without me, and I granted your wish. I like to see you
Natalia saw Adrian's car drive away from the bus stop. She closed her eyes and thought in her head.'This was what I wanted all these times. I wanted to stay away from him and he is now doing the exact thing. I should be happy that now I can live my life by myself. My family got back their lost pack. My children got what they deserved and would be powerful under their father's shadow, they got the name of their father too. I don't need anything else. I can live a peaceful life now.'She took a bus and went to the coffee shop. When she left her house, she thought of joining the coffee shop as an employee again. But now, she would have to go there to resign.That one vacation changed everything. It caused her to betray Max, her brother woke up after she came back, she would have to leave her pack and her children.When she arrived at the coffee shop, she entered with a sad smile. She would have to say goodbye to Liana. She was like a mother figure to her.As soon as Natalia went inside,
Natalia was taken aback. She slowly turned her head toward Lily, who looked frozen at the door of the changing room."Mate?" Natalia mumbled as she was confused by the situation.Was Lily Max's mate?She thought the reason behind Lily's shocked face was because she heard a stranger calling her his mate.However, when Natalia shifted her gaze back to Max, she saw a surprise in Max's eyes as well. It was not a shock but a surprise to see someone familiar.Max hurried to Lily and grabbed her arms. "It’s been a while. Where have you been? I have been looking for you everywhere. Why did you just disappear?"Natalia froze when she heard Max's words. Her brows furrowed as something flashed through her memories.She recalled the night when Max entered the coffee shop for the first time. He was drunk, and he said the same things to her.Her eyes widened when she moved her gaze toward Lily. It looked like Max's words were the same at both times.Did that mean that night Max thought of this wom
FOUR YEARS LATER ...Under the leadership of Alpha and Luna, the Crystal Pack had grown into a formidable pack. Everyone used to be afraid of Alpha Adrian, but after his Luna joined him, the fear doubled because they were the power couple in the werewolf world."Luna Natalia,"The maids bowed to the stunning woman as she walked glamorously through the corridors. She gave them nods as she passed them.Other Lunas were envious of her, finding it hard to believe a woman could possess such powerful abilities. She was an Alpha female and not only that, she was giant like her mate.It was as if they were both moon children, destined to be together forever.In the past few years, Natalia has experienced every stage of her life with her husband, and time has passed very slowly with each passing year. Her life had completely changed. Her opinions, her way of thinking, her way of talking, her etiquette, and many other things had changed. However, what did not change was her heart. She cared
After the crown ceremony,Natalia glanced at Grace, considering taking Adelia to the bedroom."Mom, you must be tired from holding her.""No, it's okay. Amanda was there with me all the time."Natalia moved her hand up. “She is asleep. You can—”Adrian came over to her and stopped her. "You can leave her to Mom. I am sure she can handle her. You look worn out anyway."Natalia was stunned. She shot him a look. Adrian shrugged his shoulders and walked up the stairs."Mom, don't listen to him."Grace shook her head and replied, "He is right. You were very busy throughout the day. Take a rest tonight. I will take care of Adelia."Natalia let out a sigh and agreed to her. She glanced at the sleeping baby and went to the bedroom.When she entered the bedroom, she found the whole room was empty.She shut the door and took off her crown. She carefully placed it inside the closet, next to the dagger.As she finished removing all of her jewelry, the bathroom door opened.She turned her head onl
A Few Months Later"I, Adrian Miller, Alpha King, declare Natalia Miller to be the Luna and Queen of my packs."Everyone applauded when Adrian placed the crown on Natalia's head.Natalia gave Adrian a smile. He wore a black robe embroidered with spells designed by the coven of the Black Haw pack. They sent it as a present to embrace their new head Alpha.Natalia lifted her white gown and descended from the stage, clutching Adrian's arm.It reminded her of her wedding day.Hazel and Jason came toward them and hugged each other."Where is John?" Natalia asked about their child.They pointed to Jade, who was holding their child, while Grace stood next to her, holding Natalia and Adrian's child, Adelia.The two women appeared to be the happiest women in the world today."Alpha Adrian, Luna Natalia,"They turned around after hearing a familiar voice.It was Alpha Wade. Beside him was Tyra, Eric's mate. During their conversation, Alpha Wade said,"I am planning to marry Tyra off soon."Nata
Days passed as the delivery date of Natalia's child was coming.Things had changed in Natalia's life in the last few months.Everyone was doting on her. The person who cared for her the most was her husband.Adrian always came home early to spend time with Natalia and his children. He said he wanted to give most of his time to Natalia during her pregnancy period.Natalia had noticed Adrian's growing impatience to see his baby in recent months. His face was always lit up with excitement.She used to have this dream when she was pregnant a few years ago.Adrian never allowed her to do any work. He was always curious about her preferences for food and activities. He even canceled his meetings whenever she felt sick. When she was down, he always surprised her with a gift to lift her spirits.He did not pass up any opportunity to spoil her. In fact, her own family claimed Adrian had spoiled her too much.She felt as if everything was a dream, and she wanted to stay in it forever."Adrian,
Everyone returned to the pack house.Natalia was lying in bed. The private doctor was checking on her."You are lucky the baby is fine," she said."Thank you, doctor. Please check on Hazel too," Natalia said to her.The doctor gave her a nod and then left the room.Natalia looked at the people who entered the room after the doctor left.Martin Hansley and Jade Hansley hugged their daughter. Meanwhile, Lucas Miller and Grace Miller lowered their heads.Natalia smiled at them, saying, "Mom, Dad."They looked at her with apologies."Forgive us, dear," Lucas said as he approached the bed.Grace hugged Natalia and said sorry to her for everything they had done in the past few days."It was not your fault. You all were influenced. I should be sorry for losing my temper and saying those rubbish things."They shook their heads and said they would never have a daughter-in-law like her. She was more like a daughter to them.“How is everyone?”“Doctor Max treated them. Benjamin was in critical c
Natalia was astounded by what she witnessed. Then she realized that the man was old Leighton's twin brother."Natalia"She heard her mother's voice. She turned her and found her and Adrian's parents. She noticed her mother-in-law also looked worried for her.She limped, trying to walk toward them.At that time a witch ran toward her, but a wolf came between and bit the witch's leg, slamming her to the ground.Natalia realized Eric was the one who saved her. She smiled at him. He gave her a nod before sprinting back toward Jason.Today, the three men in her life who once loved her are protecting her.Natalia realized that no matter how powerful you are, there will come a time when everyone needs each other.She went to her mother and hugged her. Her mother-in-law, Grace, shed tears as she also hugged her.Denis Leighton stepped toward Adrian and bowed to him."Alpha"Natalia was stunned to see the old man lowering his head toward Adrian.Adrian released Ansel's neck and took a step bac
Max was standing behind Natalia. He patted Natalia's shoulder and wrapped his arm around her. "Perfect shot."Adrian noticed how securely Max was holding Natalia. His eyes turned pale as he remembered Natalia's words.If she had been with Max, she would have been happy. Getting married to him again ruined her life.Adrian turned around and saw Ansel's arm. It was pierced by a digger rather than a simple knife.He recalled it and realized it was the dagger marked on the back of Natalia's neck. She was a healer who could kill anyone with her dagger, which was filled with her poisonous blood.He did not know about its ability toward the witches or wizards, but she had killed Doctor Harold with that knife. After that, she never touched it again."Thanks, Max," Natalia said to Max.When she called Max yesterday, he asked for help. She asked for the tonics that could help wolves and the dagger, which she used when she needed it. Max arrived at the right time to help her.The fire went out,
Everyone was staring at Adrian, who was mercilessly beating Rick. They could not believe that he had recalled everything.Natalia was surprised as well. Did that mean he remembered everything? Every moment in their lives that they had spent together?"No! No! No! Stop him!"Ansel yelled at her people. They rushed to Adrian, but he growled at them, which caused them to stop in their place, frozen.As the only one who dared to approach Adrian, the old Leighton's eyes turned glowing green.He raised his hand and chanted something, prompting Adrian to stop beating Rick.The old Leighton was giving Adrian mental pain. He grabbed his forehead and groaned angrily.The sound of his groan reverberated throughout the entire forest."Leave him. Don't hurt her," Natalia said to the old man.Jason and Patric told their men to attack the wizards and witches. Because their Alpha was present, they would have to choose between giving their lives or taking the lives of others.Natalia closed her eyes a
Natalia's tears, which she had been holding back until now, fell on her cheeks.Adrian's gaze locked on hers. They were dark but familiar to her. His jaw was clenched as if he were trying not to groan in pain.When his body moved, she came back to reality and gasped."Ad-Adrian! What are you—"Adrian pushed her head back, covering her gaze so she could not look at anything."Sshh"His thumb caressed her cheek while pressing her head against his bare chest as if he did not feel anything.Natalia could feel the heat of the flame whenever the whip touched his back."Don't... Don't hit him!"She exclaimed, crying, but Rick did not stop."Look, who has come to protect his wife? The man who can not shift, who can not protect himself, how can he protect his wife?"Rick's mocking made the witches and wizards laugh. Everyone was aware of Adrian's condition. He had become a puppet of Ansel.Rick continued to whip Adrian's back. As the flaming whip continued to strike him on his back, his skin b
