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
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
