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
"It's okay. I also did something that would have led you to break up with me anyway. I don't want to lie. I was in the heat the night before yesterday. Adrian was with me that night," Natalia uttered.Max's brows lifted in surprise. However, he controlled himself as he realized it was time to let her go."I always want to protect you. But that guy really loves you. I am a man, and I know other men's intentions. He cares for you. He once warned me about digging up my past so that I could leave you. I didn't take his warning that seriously. But now I realize he must have learned my love for Lily. In fact, he was the one who made me remain in my pack so that he could spend the vacation with you."Natalia recalled that Lily had to come back to this pack suddenly because of the shop issue. Max told her a few days ago that his workload was getting heavier, unusually. He had even told her that another Alpha called him for help unnecessarily."We are over, Max. You can be with your lost love
Days passed as everyone got back to their old lives. But a person could not move on in his life, and that was Adrian Miller.It felt as though he had lost the aura that used to envelop everyone around him. The last few days, he was not doing well.He seemed to feel strange inside him, and that was his wolf’s reaction. His wolf was slowly losing his strength. He could not heal his wounds like before. It took time for him to heal and recover from his physical pain.Whenever he tried to talk to his wolf, he only wanted one thing, his mate.Adrian could not give that to him. Because he had let Natalia go. He wanted to give her a free life where she would not have any fear of him, where she did not have to lose her happiness for him.Aria and Noah were doing well. They often went to meet their mother and stay in the Blue Blood Pack with her for a few days. So it was easy to handle the children for Adrian.But Adrian's mother was getting sicker with each passing day. It really worried him e
