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
"Adrian, I can't believe you love her this much. You made her your pack's head Alpha! I mean, we can understand her brother. He had no other options but you. But you did it out of love. You knew she would move on with another man, but still, you gave her the power to rule your pack," Beta Patric said.He was sitting with Adria in their tent. The night was very cold, and Delta Julian had not returned from the Crystal Blood Pack yet.They took shelter in a side of the forest that was close to a village. Since Adrian won the pack and had become the head Alpha, they managed to give everything in their hands to help him and the pack fighters.They sent them clothes, food, and drinks. Everyone was surprised that the villagers were happy to get Adrian as their new Alpha. It was because their old Alpha never cared for them or even did anything for their village's development. They were living very poor lives, yet they helped Adrian and the pack fighters.There was a silence inside the tent as
Natalia looked at Adrian as soon as she turned to him. Her wolf howled in front of him, showing the pain she was feeling after watching her mate in that state.As Natalia moved toward him in her wolf form, Adrian pulled her closer to him with his left hand to embrace her."Why are you here? You shouldn't have come. Have you come here to meet me for the last time? I'm happy that you are here to see me. But you need to go back before the sun rises."Natalia closed her eyes as soon as she felt his fingers graze her fur. She nuzzled his neck and smelled his scent.She realized that he had a high fever. She moved her head and gazed at him.Adrian cupped her face with his left hand. His right hand caught her attention, and there she saw his bandaged arm.Adrian patted her head and said, "Shift."When he saw she was not even moving, he thought she did not want to shift in front of him.So he grabbed his blanket and wrapped it around her body."You can shift now. I will not see your naked bod
Almost immediately after Adrian had finished his sentence, Natalia moved closer to him and encircled his torso with her arms.Adrian was taken aback by her action. He thought she had come here to scold him.While she was hugging him tightly, Natalia placed her head on his chest.The blanket slipped from her upper body as her breasts pressed against his bare chest. He was only wearing a pair of black joggers."Stop talking like a fool. You still have every ability. Nothing happened to you," she mumbled.Her words caused Adrian to experience a sharp pain in his chest. He was passing his last time well, and there was no hope in his heart to stay alive or fight back. However, the moment this woman embraced him, fear began to spread throughout his heart. It was the fear of leaving her. All of a sudden, he desired to stay alive and to be able to hold this woman in his arms forever.He reached out and grabbed the blanket that was rolled around her waist. He covered her bare back with the bla
Natalia chose to ignore his words because they caused her heart to feel hurt. She lowered her head and asked,"That day after my heat, I shouldn't have said those things to you. I am sorry."He shook his head in response."Please don't feel guilty for anything. I got what I deserved. Maybe it is my end. This is how fate decided to close my chapter. You said nothing wrong. I did the same to you and got back a little from you. There is nothing for you to apologize for. I took your card and kept it in my study room. Since I am dying, I can't spend the money. You can use that for Aria and Noah though," he said and chuckled.His remarks were causing Natalia deep emotional pain. It was like he was saying his last wishes to her.She could not help but realize that she still loved this man.She never forgot him. All of her life, she was only affected by one man, and that was him. How could she let him go now?“Natalia, I want to tell you that I have always loved you. You are the only woman i
A smirk formed on his lips, and he shook his head. "Natalia Hansley, are you in your heat again? Why are you seducing the man who is going to die? If you say you want to use me again, I can still help you, but my body is not in a good state right now. I am afraid the poison will harm you too." He said those words with a sly grin, but Natalia could see the pain in his eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "Adrian, mark me." Adrian was stunned by her words. His smirk faded, and his brows furrowed. "What are you saying?" Natalia nodded her head. "Mark me. You need to heal yourself. If you mark me, I can heal your wounds by giving you my strength." "No, no. I can't mark you. You have a life. You don't have to live as 'Alpha Adrian's mate' for your whole life. A mate bond can not save me." Natalia scowled at him, but a few seconds later, her wolf took over as her eyes turned blue. "Then don't forget your mate is an Alpha too. Let me mark you, Mate. Your mate is the bigg
Adrian felt unbearable pain in his neck. It was as if her canine had a poison, and it ran down from his neck and spread throughout his whole body like a cure. Adrian pulled her closer to him, pressing her naked body to his chest. Slowly, he began to feel ease, and the pain was fading away. But the mark arose inside him. As soon as Natalia moved back after licking the mark, Adrian grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her. Natalia could not deny that she was also aroused by marking him. It gave her a feeling of possession. She was an Alpha, and she marked her mate as hers. She kissed him back while wrapping her hands around his neck. She felt something bulge beneath her and poke her bottom. She froze as she stopped kissing him. She looked at him as sudden shyness rushed inside her. She was so engrossed in marking him that she did not realize how boldly she was sitting on his lap, naked. She tried to move, but he groaned and grabbed her waist to keep her unmoved. "I
After uttering those words, Patric hurried outside.Natalia looked at Adrian in shock and said,"You stay inside. I am going outside.""No, I can move my left hand now. I will come with you.""Then let me go first."Natalia did not give Adrian time to think as she shifted into her wolf form and rushed outside. She had no time to find clothes and wear them. It was a war, and she would have to fight in her wolf form anyway.But as soon as she came out of the tent, she was stunned.The wolves were fighting each other. She saw a few men who had not shifted yet.She made her way to the men; however, she was shocked when she saw a familiar face.She could not help but speak in the mind link.“Harold!”Since she had recently become the head Alpha, everyone heard her and turned their heads to look at her. Every official was equally shocked to see Harold. They could not understand why he was there, or how he knew they were there.What confused everyone about him was that he was not standing al
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
