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
Natalia froze when his lips touched her chin. She felt her wolf reacting to her. Her wolf yearned for him to touch her again.His hands slowly moved up and down her waist, encircling it tightly.She closed her eyes, sensing his touches, unable to resist. His lips trailed over her neck, brushing on her skin.She could not react to his words, as she could not even hear him. His touch and kisses were enough to distract her from anything happening around the world."Why did you go to the club?" he whispered, brushing his nose against her neck.Hearing his deep voice, Natalia's eyes flung open. She grabbed his shoulder and shoved him away.Adrian moved back to lean his back against the couch. He looked at her but did not remove his hands from her waist."I hate you, Adrian. You are trying to get closer to me in order to distract me. What do you think? I will forgive you?"He looked into her eyes without giving her any answer. His gaze was deep and keen, which made her feel nervous inside.
Adrian stared at her cold eyes. Their anger was visible to him. He caressed his fingers on the back of her neck and replied with an assured tone,"I will prove it to you very soon."Natalia felt a burden move through her heart. She closed her eyes for a moment. She felt dizzy in her head. She wanted to believe Adrian. Even though she had decided not to give him another chance.However, if he stated so confidently that he was not the father, it could be true. She could only hope that.But what if he was influenced by something and made the mistake? How might things turn out for them? He said he was unconscious. But how did he get hurt and lose consciousness?Many questions popped into her head, and she wanted to hear the answers from him.She remembered how she had asked him questions, and he had ignored them. He had said that he did not want to talk about it.She took a deep breath and then opened her eyes.But as soon as she opened her eyes, she gasped. Because Adrian moved his hand
