Aria and Noah were confused by their father's words. But they were overjoyed that their father had returned. They were confident he would.Adrian stood up straight and held their hands."Have a meal with Dad," he said to them.They grinned at him happily and nodded their heads at them.Natalia walked towards them and said to the children,"No, you should get cleaned up first.""No, please, Mommy. We will go after–"Adrian cut Aria off as he said,"Listen to your mommy. Go and return quickly. Dad will wait for both of you."Hearing him, they yanked their hands and dashed upstairs to their rooms to freshen up.Natalia laughed at their actions. They were very adorable. They were ecstatic to see Adrian after such a long time.Adrian gave a quick glance at the stairs before turning away. Natalia's bright smile caught his attention.Natalia shifted her gaze, and Adrian caught it.She blushed as she noticed how carefully he was looking at her.He moved closer. She gulped and lowered her head
Natalia was stunned by what Hazel said. She looked over at Adrian, who was glaring at Hazel."How dare you go upstairs? Who granted you permission to go there?"Adrian's angry voice caused Hazel to flinch. She quickly took Natalia's hand and hid behind her."I was just—"Adrian approached Natalia and grabbed Hazel's hand from behind her. He appeared to be ready to reprimand her.But Natalia held his hand to prevent him from doing so."Let it go. Maybe she did not have a dress to wear."Adrian's angry eyes met Natalia, which shocked Natalia. He was always gentle with her. So looking at his angry eyes made her feel strange."Natalia, when I said she was only a guest, I meant it. You do not need to give her so much value that she becomes one of us. Because she is not."Natalia's hand loosened around his arm as she looked away from him. She turned around to confront Hazel.She noticed Hazel's eyes were wet with tears. She seemed to be scared."Hazel, you don't look that weak. You managed
Hazel's gaze remained focused on Natalia's deep blue eyes. She swallowed and lowered her head then uttered,"Sister, I am not after anyone. I have my own reason to come here. Adrian, take me here–""Alpha," Natalia said, interrupting her."What?" Hazel asked with a confused look."Call him by his rank. Stop calling him by his name. Because except for his family, no one is allowed to do that."Natalia's words came out like sharp knives. She was very clear about her possession.The Alpha blood running in her body was the reason behind her anger and possessiveness.The difference between her and other ordinary she-wolves was that they could only feel it and could do nothing but tell the person they loved. However, Natalia possessed the power and ability to kill anyone with a single blink of her eyes. She was a very strong wolf who Alpha males begged to have.As her wolf had previously stated, she was the cure that every Alpha desired."But he is not the Alpha of my pack. So I am not obli
Noah cast a glance at his mother. Natalia stood still and calm. She was glad that Hazel knew Noah was the heir of this pack."Let's go. Your dad is waiting," Natalia said, grabbing both of the twin's hands.They happily walked with their mother to see their father again.In the dining room,Adrian was sitting on the head chair, talking on his phone."Ask him to visit our pack. I want to talk to him about something important."His voice was calm, but his gaze was not.Natalia had just stepped into the dining room with the twins. She noticed Adrian was not in a good mood.She silently picked up the twins and seated them near Adrian's left side. Then she took her seat, which was the right seat next to Adrian.Hazel also came into the room. She seemed perplexed. She walked up to Natalia and sat beside her.Natalia stared at Adrian, waiting for his conversation to end."Organize everything as quickly as possible. I can't let her stay here for a long time."Natalia realized he was talking a
Natalia looked at Alpha Lucas. She was trying to understand why he said that. She wondered why Hazel's culture differed from theirs.She glanced at Hazel, who stared at Alpha Lucas. She did not look innocent the way she behaved all the time. For some reason, Natalia was unable to comprehend something that she looked in her eyes."Alpha Lucas must be very proud of his culture. But I am curious why his people abandoned their promises. Is it a part of your culture that you struggle to keep your promises?"Everyone's attention was fixed on Hazel. The sudden confidence of the young woman surprised Natalia. However, what caught her more attention was her words.What promises was she talking about?"You and your people, everything is just—""Relax, Dad."Adrian's voice was enough to stop his father from continuing to speak. He shrugged his shoulders and began to eat.Noah and Aria noticed their father started to eat, so they did the same.Alpha Lucas and Grace were staring at their son. Mean
Amanda looked at Natalia and said, "Luna, I don't have the new pack doctor's number."Natalia rubbed her forehead and asked her to call Gamma Benjamin.When Amanda called Benjamin, he had just entered the pack house. After hearing about Noah, Benjamin rushed into the room."Natalia," Benjamin said, walking into the room.Natalia was sitting next to Noah. So when she heard Benjamin, she stood up and looked at him."Call our new doctor immediately. He is running a high fever."Benjamin did not waste any seconds as he dialed the doctor.In ten minutes, the doctor showed up at the pack house to check on Noah."It's surprising. Since he is not sick with a cold or cough, what could be causing this fever?" the doctor said.Natalia glanced at Benjamin. He questioned the doctor right away,"That's why we called you here, doctor."The doctor stood up after writing down a prescription. He handed it to Benjamin, then turned to Natalia.He bowed slightly to her and said,"I prescribed some medicat
Natalia’s POV The dream felt so real. In it, I let out a moan as he sensually placed his hands on me, breaking our kiss. His electrifying touch sent waves of desire coursing through my veins. He lowered his head, and his kiss caressed the tender spot on my neck. I closed my eyes, hoping his affections would continue. His breath hungrily grazed my earlobe, sending shivers down my spine. But then, in a deep, chilling voice, he said, “Never.” I gasped, and my eyes flung open. I was alone in the room.It had been two years since I married Adrian Miller, the future alpha of the Crystal Blood Pack. During our two years together, I had tried and failed to win his love many times over. He hadn’t even marked me yet, despite that I was his wife. And as a werewolf, I couldn’t help but want my alpha to mark me as his. He also hadn’t been home in a long time, and I yearned for his touch.I heaved a sigh, sat slowly, and yawned. Then I looked at the clock, and my mouth dropped open. “Shit! I’m
Adrian froze at the word divorce. Then he heard me. He moved his head away from my neck and peered at me. “Do you even know what you are saying?” he asked, releasing his grip on my hands. As he did so, I brought my hands close to my front body.He stared at me, waiting for my answer, I brought my hands to the front of my body, then looked for any sign of discomfort in his expression. His question had made me wonder whether or not he was at all hurt by it. But the look in his eyes said I was wrong to wonder. He was a mighty alpha within our pack, second only to his father. Our divorce would bring his life back to normal, which was exactly what he desired. So how could he feel upset by it?I burst into tears and repeated, “Let’s get a divorce.”Deep lines formed between his thick brows. “Boring,” dismissively as he moved away from my body and rose from the bed. “You’re nothing but a nuisance!”I struggled to get up. “I’m not kidding. I’m serious.” To show him just how serious, I opened
