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
Natalia was shocked after seeing the wound in Adrian's forehead. She thought it was a wound that she could heal.But after seeing the wound, she doubted she could heal it."How did you get this scar?" she mumbled, staring at his forehead.He had a wound on his forehead that looked like a burning scar.As she reached out to touch the wound, her hand trembled.Natalia shifted her gaze at him and furrowed her brows. "How did you get this wound? Why are you not replying to me?" she asked again.She remembered the night when the pack was attacked by the rogues. That night, one of their villages caught fire. Natalia assumed he got the wound from the fire.As her fingers were about to touch his wound, Adrian immediately grabbed her wrist to stop her."Don't touch it," he said."Why?" she asked.He shook his head and let go of her hand. "It's not a wound that you can heal. So don't waste your time on it."Natalia was confused. Her eyes were once again drawn to the mark. She felt her heart sha
Natalia's hands moved to his shoulders. Adrian thought she would push him away. But Natalia did not push him. Instead, she rubbed his shoulders and moved her fingers to his soft locks.When he felt her fingers on his hair, his grip tightened around her.Natalia was silent, which gave him peace.He was holding her in silence, which was exactly what he needed at that moment.After a while, he unwrapped his hands and raised his head to look at her. When his head moved, it brushed against her breasts.She looked into his eyes without saying anything.Adrian ran his hands on her back and got to his feet.He motioned her to the closet and said,"Go and change your dress. You can't sleep in this dress."She assumed it was a signal for her to join him in bed. Without anything in her mind, she nodded her head and got down from the couch.She went to the closet and looked through her dresses. She grabbed a nightgown and went to the bathroom to change.Adrian sat back on the couch, staring at th
Natalia's sleep broke when she heard the sound of a door closing.She opened her eyes but immediately shut them. She felt her head aching like hell. She bit her bottom lip and lifted her hands to rub her eyes.Her eyes slowly opened again, and she gazed at the ceiling.It took her a few seconds to remember what had happened last night.She recalled how Adrian was hugging her tightly while sleeping. When he was asleep, his face appeared so innocent. She had allowed him to embrace her throughout the night.She looked at her fingers and remembered running them through his soft hair.His relaxed face came to her mind. It was as if he had not slept in a long time.Pressing her elbows against the mattress, Natalia sat up on the bed. She moved back to reach the headrest and leaned against it.All the blinds were open, so the sunlight was coming into the room easily. She rubbed her forehead, resting her head against the headrest."This ridiculous headache!" she mumbled.She looked around the
Natalia could not just move her eyes from his body. Her gaze drew to his abs."Liking it?" he asked with a smirk."Huh?"She immediately looked away from him and blinked her eyes.When he came to her side of the bed, she moved back.He bent down and grabbed his phone from the nightstand. He turned his head to her and said,"What? I was just taking my phone."She nodded, waiting for him to move so she could get out of bed.However, he had something else on his mind.He stood up straight and turned to face her.Seeing that he was not moving, she glanced at him.She saw him staring at her chest.She lowered her head, realizing that her nightgown was too loose, exposing her half breasts.She quickly fixed her nightgown, only to hear a chuckle."Newlyweds, aren't we?"She took a deep breath before looking at him."I was just–"She paused when he placed his one knee on the mattress and bent down toward her.Natalia swallowed her breath. After last night, she could not find anger for him in
Natalia stared at Adrian for a long time. He also did not move his hand away from her head.None of them broke eye contact.Natalia felt ease in her heart. She almost assumed that this man had changed again, but she was wrong. In front of her was the Adrian who could do anything for her and her happiness."Adrian, you were telling me the truth, right? That child—""Not mine," he cut her off.She let out a long breath.But then, in the blink of her eyes, Adrian leaned down and planted a kiss on her lips.It was only for a second because the next thing Natalia felt was him removing his hand from her head. She watched him move away, heading to the closet.She slowly lifted her hand and touched her lips. Her cheeks flushed.She got down from the bed and moved toward the closet.She stood next to him, watching him take out his clothes.She focused her gaze on his injured arm from last night.It was healing, so she was relieved. Her gaze shifted upward and stopped on his forehead.She looke
Natalia immediately cupped his cheeks, causing him to open his eyes."Look into my eyes," she said to him.She wanted him to feel her wolf. She wanted her wolf to handle the situation.Her eyes turned dark blue as she dug her gaze into his.Adrian furrowed his brows while looking into her eyes, but then he shut his eyes once again.He let out in a deep voice, "Don't."He moved back. Natalia's hands were in the middle of the air. She watched him backing away from her."Adrian," she mumbled.She recalled how many times his eyes changed like that in front of her.She felt a pang in her heart when she realized that most of the time, he felt pain in his wound, and his eyes changed when she was too close to him. Even last night, he felt pain.He turned around and ran his fingers through his hair. "I will see what I can do about it," he said with a frustrated tone.Natalia did not make the situation more difficult for him. She pulled out a dress out of the closet and rushed to the bathroom.
