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
The other men who noticed her resistance laughed at her. Natalia glared at them in rage."You are very hot and wild. I really like it. If you don't want me to take you here in front of them, then come with me," the man said.Natalia was an alpha. It was not like she could not defend herself against the men. But for some reason, she was unable to get her wolf to respond.Was it because of the drink she had? Did anyone spike on it?With a confused look, she gazed at the man.To her surprise, he got up from the couch and began to pull her along with him."Where are you taking me?" she questioned."A place where you can kill me in bed."Natalia did not stop the man; instead, he allowed him to drag her wherever he wanted. She thought she would really kill him tonight.The man walked out of the cabin and past the crowd. He brought her the area of the private rooms.Natalia's legs froze as she heard moans from the other rooms.She was losing her mind slowly, which stunned her."D-Did you do
With a groan, the man collapsed onto the floor. The glasses' flank was piercing his face, causing his entire face to bleed.He started crying aloud when Adrian kicked him in the manhood."A new member of my pack? Then I should discipline you."He gave him another kick. "Don't touch the woman who doesn't want to be touched by you."When the man fainted in pain, Adrian backed away. He turned around and saw Natalia staring at the man.Adrian walked up to her and grabbed her hand.She yanked her hand back and gazed at him."What brought you here? Go away."Adrian frowned at her when he realized how drunk she was. She was not in her right mind.He grabbed her wrist again and pulled her up."If I had not come, he—"She shoved his chest. She pointed at her finger at him and said,"I don't want a weak man like you. I would have killed that man anyway."Adrian felt pain in his arm when she pushed her. But he shrugged his shoulders and replied,"Yes, I did witness your powerful killing of the m
Inside the car,Natalia moved her head against the back seat. The scent emanating from the jacket that surrounded her body made her feel warm.Her eyes were closed and her lips were parted."I won't forgive you, Adrian," she kept mumbling.The man beside her focused his gaze on her. He was observing her every move.She sobbed while saying, "I hate you."He tightened his fists while looking at her. She unconsciously shifted her head to his chest.His hand lifted to move the hair strands away from her face. His eyes darkened when he saw blood on her cheek.He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer. He wiped the blood from her cheek and saw there was a cut on her cheek. He realized that when the man smashed the bottle on his arm, she got hurt that time.With his wounded hand, he rubbed her cheek with her thumb and murmured,"I'm sorry, baby. I never intended to hurt you."He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. As if she could feel his touch and realized it was him, she tri
When Natalia heard Adrian, her eyes widened. Because her thoughts slowly turned to the reflection of what had happened in the club. She remembered how he came to the room and got these wounds.She gulped and cast a glance at him. She slowly rose from the bed and walked toward the couch.She sat on the couch, a little away from him. As she thought to pick up the box, she said,"I am only helping because you are my children's father. Otherwise, even if you die, I don't–"He grabbed her hand and pulled her toward him. Her body pressed against his bare chest, causing her to gasp."I don't what? You don't care? You won't care if I die?"She gritted her teeth and glared at him."You are right. You..."Her eyes turned blurry. "You are a cheap liar. I was not enough for you. You always need another woman in your life."His eyes darkened as he let go of her hand and wrapped his arm around her waist, causing her nose to brush against his.He looked into her eyes and muttered angrily,"In my lif
Taking a deep breath, Hazel knew she had to tell them everything."That witch's powers were imprisoned with ash in a jar, and the door had been locked for years. My sister-in-law, Ansel, is the coven's second highest-ranking witch after that woman. So, all these years, Ansel tried her hardest to break the door and free the powers so that she could take over them.So when Natalia broke the door, the powers were freed, and Ansel possessed them all. Now she is the most powerful witch."Natalia recalled what had happened in that room. She had assumed she would die, but she did not.Hazel stepped toward Natalia and said,"Sister, I am sorry for what happened to you. But I had nothing in my hands. I was not alone. My child was with me. So I had to follow whatever they told me. The only thing I could do was not open the door. Before you opened it, I used to tell them that I had not found the door."Natalia's eyes lowered as she noticed Hazel caressing her own stomach.Natalia's eyes blurred
Natalia was shocked as her eyes widened. She heard something she could not believe."Y-Your child? H-How?" she mumbled.She felt as though the sky had fallen on her. She was not in a state to feel anything. She was confused and puzzled.Jason sighed and looked at her.“I met her in her pack. There was never anything between her and Adrian. The child is mine, and I spent a night with her a few months ago."Natalia shook her head. Her hand slipped away from Jason's hand."That's not possible. She manipulated you, brother. You have never talked about her. And why did she lie when the child is not Adrian's? Why is he even trying to protect her? He himself admitted that that child is his."Hazel looked at Natalia and stepped toward her. Natalia raised a hand, stopping her from approaching her. "Don't. You can manipulate everyone but me. I didn't forget how you warned me to leave Adrian's life."Hazel clenched her jaw and said angrily, "I also warned you about that door. Why did you break i
Natalia was in disbelief. "Do you think I am a fool? You can not just show up and make a fool of me. At first, your Alpha said that Hazel is nothing to him, then he let her stay in the pack house. Later, he claimed that the child she was carrying was not his, and I believed him again. But what about now?"Her questions pierced like daggers toward Patric. He lowered his head in defeat. "I know you have to tolerate a lot.""Tolerate a lot? All of my life, I have been only suffering for your Alpha. He said he wants me to leave this pack."Natalia could not stop herself from telling Patric everything that hurt her heart."He smashed my love in front of my brother. He told him to take me away with him. Can you imagine how well I controlled myself at that time?"She leaned back against her chair, closing her eyes and shaking her head. "It is all because of my children. I am bearing everything just for them."Patric took a deep breath and said, "I came back yesterday. I have collected all of
Natalia was shocked when his lips touched hers.She tried to push him. But Adrian did not let her go.He felt sharp pain in his head as if something was exploding inside. His hands wrapped around her waist, pressing his body against hers.As though he had been longing for it, his rough kiss turned desperate.Natalia became so enraged that she shoved him with her wolf strength.He retrieved a few steps back. Natalia growled at him."How dare you do that?"His brows shot up as if he was confused by his own action. His gaze roamed around the floor until they lifted up to look at her.As if his eyes could change colors, they turned dark brown, and suddenly they flashed red for a moment.She recalled that before the accident he looked like that."Get out of this room right now," she said, glaring at him. She did not want to see him.He did not move as he stared at her with a pair of lost eyes.When she saw he was not moving, she opened the door and walked out of the room.There was no way
Natalia's eyes were on the door. She had seen Hazel leaving the house. For some reason, she guessed who she went after.'What is her relationship with my brother?' she thought."Miss Natalia"She looked away from the door and turned to Alpha Jonas. She smiled at him.This noon, when Adrian sent the necklace to her, she was surprised at first but scoffed after learning his words from Damia.She knew this man could never care for her. He was a devil in disguise who was showing his true colors with passing time.So when Alpha Jonas called her today to ask what she would like to have, she told him that she desired a necklace. She wanted to wear it in front of Adrian to mock him."The more I see you, the more I feel like I have never seen this much beauty," he remarked with a chuckle.Natalia grinned at him and said, "Alpha Jonas is flirting with me. Does his girlfriend know about it?"In a blink of a second, all the color washed away from his face.Natalia noticed this, lifted her hand, a
Adrian tried to think why did Jason make an alliance with them in the first place. What exactly did he want?He was able to see the expressions of shock plastered across the faces of all of the Leightons. They were not expecting this. To them, it was like a blow to the head.Adrian assumed that Jason did that because Natalia wanted it. But Natalia's eyes were hazel all the time. Her eyes kept observing her when her brother was talking to her.Ansel's anger caused his fingers to become more firmly gripped on the jewelry boxes. The old Leighton looked mad at Jason while Rick appeared to be fierce."You will pay for it, Alpha Jason," Ansel said, leaving the room.Her husband and the old Leighton followed her behind as if she were the main member of the family.Jason rolled his eyes. He turned his head to Adrian and said,"You will be next to face something like this."It was a warning.Adrian did not like it when he said that in front of other businessmen.Jason gave Natalia a small smil
Adrian's eyes darkened when Natalia smiled with her red lips and looked in another direction.Adrian's gaze shifted on the way and found Alpha Jonas grinning at Natalia."A beautiful necklace for a precious woman. I have always admired her when she was the CEO of her father's company. She is a pure beauty. It's bad luck that she decided to stay here. But if you want to come with me, I will not take any mistress for my whole life."Adrian glared at the man as he found his words mocking toward him.Jason scoffed at Jonas and said, "She is a stubborn woman. She doesn't listen to anyone. Otherwise, Alpha Adrian is ready to leave her. Isn't it Alpha Adrian?"Jason's gaze met Adrian's like a clash colliding.Hazel was about to say something, but Ansel shook her head at her.Natalia walked toward her brother and let out a chuckle. "Let's focus on the birthday girl. Looks like I took all the limelight away from her."Hazel stared at Natalia. There were some untold words that were conveyed thr
Adrian left the company, neglecting the idea of having lunch with Patric.He got inside the car and told his driver to drive to a restaurant.He was on his way back to the company after lunch when he received a message from Ansel informing him that tonight was Hazel's birthday and that he should give her a present.Adrian's car stopped in front of a jewelry shop. He went inside the shop and told the staff to pack something that would look good on a young woman.A female employee approached him and showed him a few designs. Adrian was not interested in choosing, but his eyes fell on a beautiful necklace.He did not know why, but looking at the necklace, his mind reflected Natalia's face."Pack this one."The female employee smiled at him and packed the necklace. When she was about to hand it to him, he said,"I told you to pick one."The woman was stunned. "Oh, you want another one?"She thought he was going to buy only one necklace. The woman picked the best design and showed it to Ad
When the elevator door opened and they arrived at the first floor, Adrian gave him a stern look and was ready to reprimand him.Adrian exited the elevator first, and Patric followed, intending to go check on Adrian's condition with the pack doctor.At that time, they ran into Benjamin.Adrian took a halt when Benjamin bowed to him.With a pair of cold eyes, Adrian said to him,"I warned you to stay away from that woman. She is not good for our pack."Benjamin lowered his head before glancing at Patric. Patric was staring at him. He exhaled and returned his gaze to Adrian."Alpha, she is my Luna. It is my responsibility to protect her when everyone is against her."Adrian tightened his fists while glaring at Benjamin. Meanwhile, Patric focused his gaze on Adrian. "Didn't you say you don't like her? Why do you care if Benjamin roams around her? You want her to leave this pack anyway."Gamma Benjamin was shocked. He shook his head as he realized Adrian had misunderstood his pure intentio
