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
Natalia froze in her place."Pierce?"As if the officials were aware of what was going on, they rushed to the Alpha, who had arrived for the war, and attacked him. They fought with his officials and tried to kill the Alpha to stop the war.Harold shrugged his shoulders, showing no concern for the Alpha being attacked. He answered Natalia by saying,"That is right, Pierce. Gamma Jeremy was my father, and you all killed him. I was the son of his first wife, but he never acknowledged that. I had his word that he would assist me in taking control of the pack. But then that man betrayed me and wanted his daughter to be the Luna of this pack."Natalia looked at Harold with disbelief. Harold did not stop, as he got a chance to say whatever was on his mind all these years."I believe it is fortunate that my father and his family died together. Otherwise, he would continue to support Lynda. I helped her a lot by keeping the truth hidden. I was the one who changed your name into her name in the
Because when Natalia turned around, that Alpha was a few inches away from getting close to her.Harold was also shocked because he did not want Natalia to die. He wanted to imprison her so that he could force her to submit to him and give him the position of the pack’s leader.However, as the Alpha was about to stab Natalia's wolf, a hand grabbed the knife with a tight grip.Harold's eyes widened when he saw that it was Adrian who stopped the knife."A-Adrian?"Adrian snatched the knife away from that Alpha, though his palm was bleeding. He grabbed the back of the man's neck.Before that man's officials could reach Adrian, he stabbed the knife on his neck."Your biggest fault is that you believed in this knife too much and didn't shift for the war."Adrian let go of the man. His lifeless body fell to the ground, and the war stopped.Adrian turned his head at Harold and asked,"So what were you saying? I am lying somewhere lifelessly, right?"Harold looked at Adrian with wide eyes. His
People around the grand hall were looking at the stage, fixing their gazes at the two people who were looking at each other.The hall was decorated so beautifully that it looked like heaven to all the guests.Everywhere they looked, everything was luxurious. But the most beautiful bliss was watching the handsome man in a black suit and the lovely woman in her bridal gown."Do you, Alpha Adrian, accept Natalia Hensley as your wife, Luna, and your mate?"The whole hall turned silent after hearing the priest.Adrian looked at the woman in front of him. It had been two months since she marked him.She was not only his mate but also the love of his life. He smiled at her when he noticed she was nervous."Yes, I do."Natalia bit her bottom lip as she averted her gaze away from Adrian. Her cheeks turned red when she heard his deep voice."Do you, Natalia Hansley, accept Adrian Miller as your husband, Alpha, and your mate?"She had already accepted him as her mate two months ago. The proof w
Natalia's mother, Jade, cleared her throat and said,"You mean, you don't like to go to Mommy's house and play with your grandparents?"Noah's eyes widened as he shook his head. "No, granny. I didn't mean it."Everyone laughed at the cuteness of the two children. They were all satisfied, with pleased expressions on their faces.Adrian's officials congratulated Natalia. She thanked them. Patric winked at Adrian and whispered,"Finally, you made her yours, huh?"Adrian smirked when he heard that. "Yes, finally, she is mine. I will never let her go now. She is only mine."Patric cleared his throat and patted his back. "Relax, Alpha. Calm down. Otherwise, who knows, you may have ended up marking her right here in front of us."Adrian paused as he turned his head at Patric. Patric smirked at his best friend, whom he had successfully teased.However, Adrian turned out to be shameless. "Why not? I don't have any problem with it.""Are you sure? Where has your possessiveness over 'My woman' a
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
