In front of the mirror,A woman was looking at herself. She was dressed in a long black dress. The dress was backless but full-sleeved.Her gaze was drawn to her reflection in the mirror rather than to her dress. It was as if looking at herself helped her gain patience. She took the long earrings and put them on. Her hair was styled down.A knock on the door interrupted her as she pulled her hair to her shoulder and began to comb it."Come in."The door opened, and a man stepped into the room. “Nat—”He paused when his eyes landed on her.,"Benjamin."He quickly averted his gaze away from her and lowered his head. He cleared his throat before saying,"As you told me to call out for a pack meeting, every Alpha in our pack is coming here to attend the meeting."Natalia's lips curved into a smile as she mumbled,"I knew you could handle it. That's why I got ready for the meeting."Benjamin lifted his gaze and looked at her. She put the comb on the dressing table and turned to face him.
Hazel was standing outside of the locked room. Her gaze was fixed on the lock, focusing her attention there.Her eyes glowed briefly before returning to normal when her phone began to ring.She checked her phone to see who had called her.She received the call and mumbled,"Hello.""Did you get it yet?" the person on the phone asked.Hazel glanced at the door and replied,"Not yet.""How long? We will be there soon."Her hand trembled, holding the phone near her ear. "I will let you know very soon."The person hung up the phone. Hazel slowly removed her phone from her ear.But at that moment, someone approached her from behind and whispered in her ear."Are you looking for something inside?"Hazel immediately turned around and clutched her chest. Her body jerked her body up. Her eyes widened when she noticed it was Natalia."You almost scared me to death," Hazel said. Natalia raised her brows and asked,"Why so scared? Is this how you will give birth to Alpha Adrian's heir?"Hazel to
Natalia rolled her eyes before releasing Hazel's neck. She turned to look at Adrian."Look, who's here? Your hero, lil sister," Natalia said it loudly while looking at Adrian.He had a furious look. Ignoring his gaze, Natalia turned to face Hazel.She lifted her hand and placed it on Hazel’s head. She then said to Hazel in a low tone,"Don't worry about this door. Very soon the key will be in my hand. I also want to know what you are looking for and what they have been hiding all these years."When Natalia was about to remove her hand from her head, Hazel grabbed her wrist and looked at her."Why do you find things that are forbidden so fascinating?"Natalia smiled at her, yanking her hand from her grip."Because another woman is after my husband and carrying his child."Hazel glanced at Adrian, who was behind Natalia. He was standing a little away from them.Natalia turned around. She started walking, ignoring Adrian. When she was about to walk past him, he grabbed her wrist and turn
Natalia came to the hallway. When she turned her heels in the direction of the meeting hall, she ran into Alpha Lucas. She looked away from him and came to a halt. Alpha Lucas gazed at her. He cleared his throat and said, "Natalia, I heard you decide to take over the pack company." Without looking at him, she replied, "Yes, dad." "Are you mad at Adrian?" Hearing his question, she felt it was a joke. She slowly lifted her gaze to meet his eyes. "What if it were me who ended up getting pregnant with another man? What do you think? How would your son react?" Alpha Lucas's eyes grew wider. He was not expecting her to say that. He used to see a polite Natalia who always spoke to him with careful words. Natalia did not care anymore. Though it was neither his nor Grace's fault, she was too distraught to care about anything. "Why do people call your son Almighty? For killing Alphas in wars and claiming packs? That is something I can do as well." Alpha Lucas stared at her
After hearing the Alpha, Natalia was taken aback."What are you saying?" Natalia asked, frowning at the man.The other Alpha glanced at the Alpha, uncertain if his information was accurate.It's been a while since Natalia left the Blue Blood Pack's company. She had never heard of the Black Haw Pack while she was ruling. So, why did her brother suddenly start to support them? It was not long before he awoke from his illness.What caused him to align with the wizards?"Let's cut this off. We do not need to worry about the Blue Blood Pack. We will talk to them about it," Gamma Benjamin said to the Alphas.Natalia came out of her thoughts and agreed to Benjamin. However, she was still confused. She thought that she needed to talk to his brother about this matter. She had not told him about what Adrian had done. It was because she knew how much her brother loved her. He would not let her stay with a cheater for a single day and take her away from this pack. So she would have to talk to him
A car came to a halt in front of the pack house. Beta Patric stepped out of the car. His gaze shifted to the other vehicles parked there.With a frown, he looked around. He walked to the main door and looked at the guards. They greeted him respectfully."Who has come?" Patric asked."We had a pack meeting at the pack house, and our sub-Alphas from the pack came," one of the guards answered.Patric gave him a puzzled expression. He asked if they were aware of the reason.He was shocked to learn that Natalia was taking over the pack company.Patric entered the pack house and went straight to Alpha's office.As soon as he reached the room, he opened the door.A man was standing near the long window, holding a glass of wine.Patric quickly entered the office room and closed the door behind him.As if he smelled him, the man asked,"Why are you back? I thought you had left the pack forever, Beta Patric."Patric clenched his jaw and stared at his back. He walked up to him and stopped next t
Adrian took a gulp of his drink and muttered,"That old man truly has a vision."Patric swallowed as he spoke again. "And he said you should protect Hazel from Natalia."Adrian's grip around the glass tightened. His eyes darkened. Patric looked away from him and said,"I was shocked when I heard that. He said you should let Natalia fight her own battle. It is her war to fight, not yours. But she should not hurt Hazel."Adrian relaxed his tightly held grip, as though attempting to calm himself."He had no idea what was going on with you when I asked him about it. He said there is no way that anyone can do something on Alpha Adrian."Adrian's keen eyes were concentrating on something. Patric glanced at him and muttered,"He said the man who broke his years-long spell with just a growl can't be possessed by another witch or wizard."Patric waited for him to respond. He could see Adrian did not look like how he last saw him. He appeared carefree, as if he did not have much to worry about.
Patric rose up from the chair. "Adrian, what are you saying? Why would he want to protect Hazel? What is his connection with her? He never left the Blue Blood Pack either."Adrian grabbed a file and muttered,"You should have asked him. Why did you return with only half of the information?""Because I thought...""That is why you should not blindly trust anybody." Adrian paused and looked at him. Then, he continued,"The only person you should blindly trust is your Alpha."Patric slumped back in the chair as his shoulder gave out. He felt relieved that Adrian was not the father of Hazel's child. He was concerned about Adrian and could not think of any other option but to visit Qadir.He took a look at Adrian's bandaged forehead. There was a wound inside the bandage that would never heal. Because it was not a hit of any werewolf but a powerful wizard.He assumed that Adrian was feeling pain because of that wound, and it was the reason why his eyes kept changing. Though Adrian refused t
