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
Benjamin was shocked after hearing Natalia.“What are you saying? I think you are mistaken. Alpha is not like that.”Natalia looked away from him. She was also taken aback when she heard Adrian's words.“What did Alpha tell you?” Benjamin inquired, seeking to understand the true circumstances.Natalia remained silent as her eyes roamed around in search of a way to pause, just like her mind.When Benjamin noticed that she was not replying, he asked another question,“Did you tell him that you are pregnant?”Natalia looked at him and shook her head in response.“Then? How can you tell that he doesn't want this child?”Natalia wiped her eyes and mumbled,“He said he doesn't want another child.”Benjamin raised his brows. “Natalia, you need to tell him about your pregnancy. Maybe he will change his perspective.”Natalia clutched the railing, believing that even if Adrian agreed to take this child, it would be a compromise for him.She stayed quiet for a while. She thought that she could n
Adrian was sitting on the bed. His gaze lingered on the closed door ever since Natalia had left the room.Cloudiness crept into his eyes. His expression changed from calm to fierce. He took a quick glance at Aria and then Noah.He slowly lowered Aria's head onto the pillow next to Noah and got out of bed.He made his way to the door to leave the room. However, his steps came to a halt. He turned his head to look at the twins.His hands tightened around the doorknob. He drew a deep breath and released the doorknock.He turned around and walked over to the couch near the bed.He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He took out one cigarette and placed it between his lips.His eyes were once again forced to gaze at the twins. He clenched his teeth around the cigarette.His hands shook when he put down the cigarette. He threw the cigarette to the floor as if he were in anger.His eyes turned red.The handsome face that had always caught everyone's attention became
Natalia hurried over to Hazel and took a close look at her. "What happened to her?" she asked.Benjamin gazed at Hazel with a frown. He got down on his knees and patted her cheek lightly.“Are you pretending in front of us? Then don’t do that, because we don’t have the time to appreciate your acting.”Benjamin's words stunned Natalia. She put her hand on his shoulder and said,"Benjamin, she passed out. Pick her up."Benjamin did not have any interest in doing so. But since it was Natalia's order, he would have to do it.He lifted Hazel and proceeded to the room where she was staying. Natalia followed him behind.On their way, a few maids noticed them.The maids rushed to a room and knocked on the door.Grace opened the door and looked at the maids."Why are you here at this hour? Is everything okay?" Grace asked them.The maid could tell that she was sleeping by observing her drowsy expression. The maids glanced at Alpha Martin, who had also woken up by the knock."Let them in, Grace
