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 looked into Adrian's eyes. For some reason, she could not see the excitement in his eyes to know the answer."What if I am?" she asked, giving him a doubtful look.Adrian stroked her hair and replied,"By hearing your question, I can guess the answer is no."Natalia parted her lips when she noticed he let out a sigh as if he wanted to hear that answer."Noah opened his eyes!"Aria let out in a louder voice.Adrian and Natalia both turned to Noah and saw him blinking.They sat beside Noah. Natalia held his hand and rubbed it."My baby, how are you feeling?"Noah looked at Natalia and mumbled,"Mommy, it hurts."His low tone could be inaudible to others, but Alphas like Natalia and Adrian heard it clearly.Natalia felt tears well up in her eyes."Where do you feel hurt? Tell Mommy."Adrian moved closer to Noah and looked into his eyes.Noah became silent as he looked at his father."Does it hurt in your head? Uncle Benjamin will bring your medicine soon. Don't worry."Noah purse
Natalia was startled. Her hand was close to her belly. She slowly placed her palm on her belly while staring at Adrian."Why don't we need another? That will be our child, Adrian."Adrian frowned at her and asked,“Do you want to have another one? Natalia, we now have an heir and an heiress. I don't want another child. You and the twins are enough for me."Natalia felt her heart trembling from within. Before even getting to know about the news of the unborn child, he was telling her that it would be an unwanted child.Her eyes turned blurry as she looked away from him. She slowly rose up from the bed."Where are you going?" Adrian asked.She turned away from him. Biting her lower lip to control her tears, she took a deep breath and replied,"I will be back after a while."After saying that, she left the bedroom.Tears rolled down from her eyes. She wiped her tears while heading to the balcony.She ran into Amanda along the way."I didn't tell Alpha's parents about Noah's fever as you
