As time passed,Natalia turned busy learning new things about what a luna should know as a luna of the Crystal Blood Pack.She realized that everything was different from the Blue Blood Pack.Fighting in the war beside the Alpha leader was not the only job for a Luna. She would have to learn their rules, the lives of the pack members, their problems, and how to find solutions.With hope in her eyes, she began to learn everything one by one.Noah and Aria were the happiest kids in the pack right now. They attended school every day proudly, just like other kids.Whenever it was a parent meeting, both Adrian and Natalia went to attend it together. It was awkward and frightening for the entire school to see Alpha and Luna, so they instructed the principal and teachers to treat them as if they were just another student's parents. Two months went by.This weekend was scheduled to be the crown ceremony.Natalia had learned a lot of things. Because of her power rank, she was able to acquire
"Mommy, you are queen."Aria's sweet voice echoed throughout the bedroom. Natalia glanced at her daughter through the mirror, who was wearing a beautiful dress. She looked adorable in that dress."Queen? Who told you that?" Natalia asked, fixing her white gown.It was not like her bridal gown but a little different. Around her waist there was a golden belt that shaped her body perfectly with the gown. She was ready to go out.It was not any normal day, but the day everyone had been waiting for two months.Today was the Crown Ceremony, where she would be crowned as the Luna of the Crystal Blood Pack."Dad said that," Aria replied.Natalia was stunned. "Okay. If Mommy is his queen, then what are you?""Princess," Aria replied with a sheepish smile and rushed to hug her legs.Natalia chuckled and patted on her head.She bent down and kissed on her cheeks. "Your dad loves you and Noah a lot."She shook her head. "No, he said he loves you the most."Natalia's cheeks flushed. She took a dee
Time was running out.Every guest was eager for the crown ceremony to begin."Where are your husband and his officials?" Jason asked Natalia.Natalia was talking with some guests. She turned to Jason and hugged him.Though she had learned how Luna should behave, she could not control herself after meeting her brother."Brother!""Alpha Jason," he reminded her.She cleared her throat and broke the hug. "Yeah, yeah. Alpha Jason."She smiled slightly at him.Jason raised his hand and placed it on her head."I am surprised how my sister has turned into someone else in just two months.""Into someone else?" she asked with confusion."In a good way, my baby. You are going to become the Luna of a pack, but for me you are still my little sister. I am happy that Alpha Adrian didn't disappoint me. He turned you into a happy woman. Just looking into your eyes, I can tell how happy you are with him."Natalia nodded her head. "You are right, brother. I am very happy with him. He loves me so much.
"What!"Natalia was taken aback by what Alpha Lucas was saying."But Dad, he said he was going to his company..." she paused when she recalled her brother's words.Why would Adrian go to his company with all of his officials?Her family and all the guests looked at her and Lucas, trying to figure out what had happened so suddenly.Eric had just arrived in the hallway. When he realized the situation was not so good, he approached Natalia and asked,"What happened?"Jason joined him and asked the same question.Natalia was fixated on Lucas, eager to learn the truth.Alpha Lucas looked at Eric, then fixed his gaze at Jason, the he replied,"It was Gamma Benjamin's call. He said they didn't go to the company but to that village to save the villagers.""But why, Dad? Why didn't they tell me for once? I could have joined them," she said with a desperate tone."I don't know, my dear. Maybe Adrian did not want you to be there. He didn't want you to be worried," Alpha Lucas said.Natalia rubbe
Natalia walked out of the pack house, determined to leave and reach the village as soon as possible.Her gaze lowered to her body, settling on her gown. It was a royal gown that only the Luna of this pack could wear.She did not know why, but she was not feeling well. How in the world could someone set a village on fire? How about the people of the village? Did they survive?She also feared for the other members of her pack."We will not be able to get there soon by road. We need to run to get there as fast as we can," Eric said.Natalia listened to Eric and glanced at her brother. He gave her a nod, and the next thing was he shifted into his wolf form.All of the officials of Jason shifted after him. Jason had taken many pack fighters of the Crystal Blood Pack. They heard about the upcoming war against the rogues, they were ready to jump in the war.Natalia saw all the wolves begin to run toward the direction of the village.Natalia closed her eyes, trying to shift into her wolf form
Natalia took a step back. She could not understand what Benjamin was trying to say."What do you mean?"A rogue came her way, but she was lost in thoughts. So the rogue could viciously claw her arm.She became enraged because of the pain in her arm. She turned around and growled at the wolf.She killed the rogue and turned back to Gamma Benjamin.Delta Julian and Theta Emon were fighting with other rogues."We lost Alpha and Beta Patric in the war," Delta Julian said from a distance in the mind link."Did they get stuck in the fire?" Natalia asked with a trembling voice.The three officials glanced at her for a moment before shaking their heads."No. They were with us in the war," they assured her in their mindlinks.Natalia let out a deep breath, thinking that they were okay. They might have gone too far away while fighting. They would be back soon."We will find them. Don't worry, Natalia," Jason said as he was fighting with some rogues.Natalia listened to her brother and focused o
It had been two weeks since the rogues attacked the pack’s village.The whole pack had turned upside down. Everyone wanted only one thing, and that was, where was their head Alpha?They could not find Adrian, nor could his body.Was he alive?If so, where was he?Natalia's life became colorless. The woman who used to be so beautiful and powerful had turned into a broken woman.Adrian's parents lost their hopes. They loved their son a lot. They could not take it when they found out Adrian had gone missing.Alpha Lucas had a heart attack because he thought his son was dead. Yearning for her son to come home, Grace constantly cried in a corner of their room.Only a miracle could do that.Aria and Noah tried to support their mother, showing her that they were strong children.They believed their dad was fine and went somewhere."Mommy, please eat something. Dad will scold you if he comes back and sees you not eating anything," Noah said to Natalia.Aria was holding the spoon of food close
It was a shock to Natalia. Her suspicion proved to be accurate. She slowly touched her belly and mumbled,"Is there a child inside?"She lowered her head and looked at her belly.Her eyes began to well up with tears as she reflected on how she had brought up Aria and Noab without Adrian.When she was pregnant before, she believed Adrian did not love her and that there was no hope of saving her twins, so she had to leave him.But at this moment, she had nothing in her mind. That man had shown her so much love that she wanted to leave this world and go to where he was.She believed Adrian had not died. Her wolf did not want to believe it either.Her fate may have been unfortunate, but it could not have given her this punishment in order to force her to live a life of punishment."Miss, are you okay? You don't look happy. Don't you want this child?""No, I want this child," she responded right away.Grasping her dress with her fist, she murmured,"I want this child."With sorrowful eyes,
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
