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
It was late in the evening.Natalia was not at home. She instead went to a nightclub. She was so upset that she did not want to stay in the house where she would have to see Hazel. Seeing her face always reminded her of Adrian's cheating.She was in so much pain in her heart that she had almost forgotten she was pregnant. She was gulping drinks after drinks to forget her pain for the night.Gamma Benjamin wanted to come with her. But she told him that following her was not his only job.She was currently in a private cabin to avoid being recognized. She sipped the drink and took in her surroundings.There were a few young men along with some women.The women were nearly sitting on the men's laps to get closer to them. However, Natalia had no companion with her.She scoffed at the men who cast glances at her."Cheaters. I bet they all have their wives in their house who are thinking that their men are in a business meeting right now," she murmured in a low tone.One of the young men g
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
