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,
Natalia returned to the pack house with Gamma Benjamin. She went to Adrian's parents to check on them.Alpha Lucas's health had improved slightly. But Grace did not look well. She had been sick before, and Natalia had to cure her. Now, with the depression she was feeling for her only son, she was losing her health.Like the other days, the day went by while Natalia waited for Adrian to come back home.The night passed, just like the nights Natalia cried in loneliness for her husband.The next morning,Natalia took a shower while carrying a heavy burden in her heart. Her eyes were puffy, and she appeared to be in a state of distress. Her family called her to ask if she was eating properly. Jason assured her that his men were trying to find Adrian in different packs.Natalia could not help but try to show them that she was strong. However, only she knew how she was feeling on the inside.She had not told anyone yet about her pregnancy.Only Gamma Benjamin was aware of it and he promised
Natalia was shocked. She felt as if it were a dream where she heard about Adrian.She had been searching for him for two weeks. She would lie if she said she did not think something might have happened to Adrian.But after hearing about his arrival, it was almost like she was in a dream."Luna?"Amanda patted on her shoulder when she noticed she was lost in her thoughts."Luna, just now some guards called Gamma Benjamin about Alpha's arrival in the pack. He said Alpha is coming back to the pack house."Natalia came out of her thoughts as a smile spread on her lips."He is back?"Manda's eyes welled up with tears as she noticed Natalia's happiness.After Alpha went missing, her gracefulness, which everyone had seen at the wedding, was nearly lost.Now Amanda could catch a glimpse of that old Natalia again."Yes, Luna," Amanda replied.Natalia did not ask her anything else, as she did not need to know anything else. Her husband was back, and it was enough for her.She rushed out of her
Natalia glanced at the woman's hand, which was holding Adrian's arm.Her eyebrows arched as she slowly lifted her gaze to Adrian.She took a step back when she noticed the woman hugging his arm.It was then that Beta Patric walked into the pack house.All the officials hugged him, welcoming him back. He was in the other car, so it took him some time to arrive.Natalia could not move her attention from Adrian. She was waiting for Adrian to remove the woman's hand from him. But it did not seem he was feeling any discomfort around the woman."Who is she, Adrian?" Grace Miller asked her son.It did not look good the way the young woman was hugging her son.The young woman cast a glance at Grace. She had a beautiful face with a pair of soft emerald eyes. Her beauty was capable of attracting any man she desired.She looked innocent and young, much younger than Natalia.Adrian looked at his mother and replied,"Mom, she is Hazel Leighton.""Okay, but who–"Alpha Lucas interrupted his wife as
Natalia's eyes grew almost cold as she looked at Hazel. But before she could react further, Hazel burst out laughing. “Look at your face, Sister. I was just joking. Don't worry, he is all yours. I took care of him without realizing he was the Alpha Adrian we had always heard about.” Natalia did not move her gaze away from her. She was not stupid. She caught her intention in her words. However, her heart skipped a beat when she heard a deep voice. "My wife doesn't like this kind of joke. So never dare to do that again." Adrian's voice and words caused Natalia to feel relief in her heart. She was on the verge of believing that he had taken another woman in their married life, just like Lynda. Hazel turned around to look at Adrian. His dark eyes pierced into hers. Hazel immediately turned away from him and looked at Natalia. "Please tell him not to kill me. I apologize if I offended you, sister." Natalia noticed tears well up in her eyes. She blinked, realizing she had
Natalia did not know what to say. She had no idea why her cheeks had heated up. She lowered her head and bit her bottom lip to conceal her shy smile.The way Adrian defended her in front of this woman, it touched her heart.It revealed a protective side of him, leading her to believe it was her Adrian."Let's go," Adrian murmured, dragging her upstairs.Natalia parted her lips, not knowing where they were going.She cast a glance behind her at the others. She saw Adrian's father was not happy at all. Grace appeared perplexed by her husband's behavior.When Adrian brought Natalia upstairs, she noticed him take her to their bedroom.She fixed her gaze on her handsome husband as they walked together.She glanced at her hand that he was holding gently, as if she were fragile to him.She wanted to hide her shyness from him. Her eyes were filled with tears. She still could not believe that he was back.Adrian opened the door, and they stepped inside. Adrian let go of her hand and looked aro
Natalia shut her eyes close as soon as Adrian's lips touched hers. It was blissful to feel his lips on hers again.She felt like it was what she had been missing—him, his kisses, and his touches.Adrian moved his hands and wrapped them around her waist, pressing his body against her. He deepened the kiss, expressing how much he missed her.She put both of her hands around his neck and tried to pull him closer.He groaned during the kiss.Opening her eyes, Natalia broke the kiss right away. Her worried eyes slid to him."What happened?" she asked.He shut his eyes as if he were in pain, taking deep breaths.She reached up to touch the bandage on his forehead."Did I hurt your head?"He opened his eyes and gazed at her. He shook his head slowly."No.""Adrian, you–"He pressed his thumb against her lips. "Ssshh."She blinked her eyes and stared at him.His deep eyes studied her, as if they were scanning every detail of her face. His gaze shifted to her neck, where they drew attention to
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
