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
A Few Months LaterAdrian was having dinner with his children. He was all alone with them in the dining room. Since his mother was sick, she always had meals with his father in their room.Aria and Noah were getting bigger day by day. Adrian loved to spend his time with them. In his life, he had only one thing, and that was giving his time to his children. They were the apples of his eyes."Dad, can we go to meet Mommy tomorrow?" Aria asked.Adrian looked at Aria. Her smile was enough to persuade him. He shifted his gaze at Noah, whose head was down.Noah was getting training daily. He was growing up to be the best Alpha."Sure," Adrian replied.Aria got down from her chair and hugged Adrian. He kissed on the tip of her forhead and said that he was fine with any time they wanted to go to meet their mother.He was not unaware of Natalia. She returned to her job as the CEO of the pack company of the Blue Blood Pack. Jason had returned to his health, and both of the siblings were doing g
After taking his leave from his father, Adrian left the pack house with his officials.Out of the pack house, all of the pack fighters were waiting for him to lead the way.They were going to the war. Adrian did not know how another Alpha dared to attack his pack. But he knew that someone very close had revealed his secret about his health to the opposite party. Otherwise, who had the audacity to attack Alpha Adrian's pack? It was clear that they knew his wolf was sick and weak right now.When Adrian went close to the border, he saw many wolves, growling at him and his warriors.His eyes turned red as he shifted.They were taken aback.They thought Alpha Adrian could not shift. They were not aware of his strength yet.Adrian ran toward the wolves. He killed whoever came into his sight.And the war began.So many wolves started fighting each other. The blue sky turned dark under the black clouds. Under the sky, the whole forest turned red with the blood of the wolves.The black giant w
As Maxwell jumped on Adrian to kill him as soon as possible, Adrian scoffed and hit him with his head.His canines were sharp as a knife, and he walked to Maxwell, who had just fallen a little far by the push.His men came Adrian's way to stop him. But Adrian bit them while limping because he almost lost one leg's strength because of the stake.With the strength of three legs, the black wolf made his way to the gray wolf.Before Maxwell could stand up to attack him again, Adrian bit his neck to lift him up and then smashed his body to the ground.“Alpha Adrian will protect his pack till his death,” he said to Maxwell.All of Adrian's officials rushed toward him when they noticed him biting Maxwell.Blood gushed out of Maxwell's head, and he would die in a few minutes. But with pain in his head, Maxwell said to Adrian,“We merged three packs to kill you. You can kill me, but what about the other two? They are coming in your way. Soon they will attack you and kill you.”Gamma Benjamin g
The morning was not so good for Natalia. It was because her wolf had been reacting strangely for the past few days. She had no idea why her wolf started howling inside her without any reason.Whenever she asked her wolf about it, she only replied,"I want my mate."Natalia could not forget Adrian. She took over the pack company again. But her mind could not focus on her work and was instead thinking about the night of her heat. She could not think of anyone else or move on. It was like her life was paused after coming back to this pack.Her children came to meet her every month. Sometimes they talked about their father. She could not help but feel curious about how Adrian was passing his days.It was because of his words that she could not forget— "I will never marry anymore. For me, you will always be my wife."Natalia let out a deep breath as she thought her day started like a daily one. But the door of her room flung open.She turned around and found Eric. His eyes were wide as if
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
