Doctor Harold stared at me for a while. After briefly gazing at Grace Miller and Lucas Miller, he abruptly shifted his attention back to me."Natalia?" he mumbled my name.I approached him and asked,"How are you, Doctor Harold?""Good. It's been a long time.""Yeah, a very long time."Based on his look, I was able to fully understand that he was uncertain as to whether Adrian had captured me or whether I had returned to this pack by myself.Even though I wanted to express my gratitude to him at that very moment, I refrained from doing so.I just wanted to alleviate his concern, so I said to him,"I came here to meet Uncle Lucas."He nodded his head in response and let out a lower tone."Oh, I see."Due to the fact that they were unfamiliar with me, the doctors were looking at me. I moved out of the way so that they could examine the patient."Harold, my son. Is everything okay?" Auntie Grace asked.Before making his way to Lucas Miller, Doctor Harold gave her a small nod.I caught a
Everyone was shocked when they heard me.The other doctors started to talk about me."How can you say that? You don't even know what the treatment is, do you? That cure is not something that can be prepared by just anyone.""That's right. Every year, we all make an effort to interact with Doctor Max, even if it's simply to say hello to him. And here you are talking about giving us his cure?"I choose to ignore their comments. My eyes were fixed entirely on Doctor Harold the entire time.He raised his hand to signal to the doctors to stop talking. Because he was the chief physician, he was held in high esteem by all of the doctors at the hospital. In anticipation of his words, they lowered their heads and waited for him to speak."Are you sure, Natalia?" he asked me.It left the doctors stunned. They raised their heads to look at Doctor Harold.They were utterly bewildered as to why Doctor Harold would put his faith in someone who appeared out of nowhere."Yes," I responded with self-a
I did not refuse Doctor Harold's request since I also wanted to talk to him about Uncle Lucas's health.I nodded my head in agreement with him."We have a cafeteria for all of the medical professionals working in the hospital. Is it okay if we go there?" he asked me."Yeah, sure."Both of us headed in the direction of the cafeteria. On the left side of the lobby area, there was indeed a captivating cafeteria.The place was kept in a very clean and comfortable manner. Following our walk into the cafeteria, people who were dressed in white coats cast a glance in our direction.Regarding Doctor Harold, they showed their respect by giving him a slight nod of the head. As he made his way to the last table on the window side, he gave them a nod of recognition."Have a seat," he said as he pulled a chair out for me to sit in."Thank you."When I sat down, he moved to the chair that was facing me, which was the opposite chair.After placing the bouquet on the table, he called the waiter. The
I turned my head immediately. There he was, the Alpha Adrian, standing a little distance from my chair.Other doctors recognized him and stood up to bow to him.Adrian’s hands were tucked into the pockets of his pants. Although his face was indifferent, his eyes were fixed on something.I followed his gaze and turned to see where he was looking.His eyes were fixed on my hand, which was over Harold’s hand. I slowly removed my hand and rolled my eyes.I once again shifted my attention to Adrian. Now he was looking at the bouquet of white roses!I assumed he had spotted the bouquet either while he was entering or exiting his father's cabin this morning.I ignored his presence and did not care to look at him again.I came here for just one day. But how come I meet him twice a day?Harold looked away from Adrian and moved his chair to stand up.During the moment when he was ready to stand up to bow to him, Adrian walked to him and pushed him on the shoulder with his hand lightly to sit hi
"Excuse me?"I was shocked by his remarks. How could he say that to me?"Stop acting as if you are innocent. Does the person you are claiming to be your fiance know what you are doing here? Do you have the intention of destroying my reputation in this place by pursuing the head doctor of my pack?"I laughed at him like a mad woman. This man was getting on my nerves!"A man who cheated on his wife and stayed with his mistress during their marriage will give me loyal advice now?"He scoffed at me. His smirk was devilish. His aura was cold and deadly at the same time."If I did that, then what did you do? What about your bastard children?"My eyes widened when I heard his words. He once again brought my children into conversation."How dare you talk about my children?" I asked with a stern look.As a result of my inability to control myself, my voice was a little bit loud. Adrian turned his head and looked around at the other people in the cafeteria.They stood up and began to leave. Whe
Hearing his question, water spilled out of my mouth. As I coughed, I patted my head out of frustration."What's the matter? The question didn't suit you?"Because of his icy tone, I coughed even more. During my coughing, my eyes turned teary.By gulping down the entire glass of water, I attempted to soothe the discomfort in my throat.My gaze was directed at Adrian as I slammed the glass down firmly on the table.Should I kill this man? Should I take my revenge on him? Would it make me feel better?Because this man did not deserve anything.His power and position only made him more arrogant. Should I kill this man right here and put an end to the fear that is within the hearts of this pack's members?He puffed on the smoke while looking at me.His dark glare was indicating to me that the instant I took anyone's name, he would make another terrible statement for me."You don't have to think about their father. Because you are not the one." I said and stood up.I could see a fire burnin
"Wait."I knew he would be driving in the direction of the Blue Blood Pack, but I was not going back tonight.The fact that I agreed with Uncle Lucas did not change the fact that I was aware that it would be the worst week that I would remember for a very long time.In light of the fact that Adrian did not allow me to take a single breath of relaxation for an entire day, remaining in his pack for a week was essentially giving him the opportunity to insult me even further.'Why am I so emotional? Shit! I can't even say no to them.' I told myself."Miss? What happened?" After turning his head to look at me, the driver inquired."Go to a hotel."He shook his head, and his eyes widened in surprise."Alpha Jason will kill me.” It was in a trembling voice that he added, "I can't let you stay in this pack for another day.”"I'm going to have a conversation with him. Don't worry. I plan to stay here for a week."The driver had no choice but to listen to me. When he started the car, he set the
The car stopped in the parking lot of a five-star hotel. During my attempt to get out of the car, the driver opened the door for me to assist me.I thanked him and instructed him to make a reservation for a room for himself at the hotel. In order to alleviate his concerns, I assured him that I would be the one to pay for it.The driver gave me a nod. While I was looking around, I entered the hotel.When it came to the hotel business, the Crystal Blood Pack was doing exceptionally well. These types of five-star hotels were available in this pack. It seemed as though a great number of Alphas came here to release their pleasure.People around me glanced at me when I made my way to the lobby area.I proceeded to the reception area and asked about the rental of a room."Miss, what kind of room do you find most comfortable? A view of the forest? Side of the swimming pool? View from the rooftop or-"When the receptionist was speaking, I interrupted her by saying, "Any room would be fine. Jus
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
