After exiting the house, Natalia began to walk.She was thinking back on everything that had happened up to this point. She trusted Adrian, but she was not going to go easy on him. It was not because she still had a little doubt in her heart; it was because she was upset with him for not sharing anything with her.She turned to look when she heard the sound of a horn.Adrian's car was heading towards her. She paused and moved to the side.The car came to a stop beside her, and the driver quickly got out."Luna, Alpha ordered me to send you to the pack company," the driver said, opening the back door for her."Oh, yeah. I forgot," she said, getting into the car.During the ride, she thought about Adrian's wound. She slowly moved her hand to the back of her neck, where the mark of a healer was located."I wish I could heal him," she mumbled.Whenever she thought about the burn scar, her heart shook inside, thinking about the pain he had to endure.She remembered his color-changing eyes
Damia remained silent upon hearing Natalia's question.Her silence did not set well with Natalia, so she asked,"Why are you quiet, Damia? You called me to inform me about the keys, right?"Damia cleared her throat and said,"Miss..."Natalia observed that her voice was very low. "Are you okay? Is everything alright in the Blue Blood Pack?"Natalia began to worry about her pack. It dawned on her mind that her brother was out of the pack."Miss, everything is alright. I-I went to some shops, and they said that they could not make a key for that lock."Natalia's brows arched as she was confused. "What! But why?""They said it's an ancient lock and only power can break it. You can use ordinary keys, but it would not open.""What rubbish!"Natalia rubbed her forehead, thinking that her pack's locksmiths were not doing a good job."Have you told them that they did not need to worry about money?""Miss, I said to them. But they told me to go to an ancient locksmith who lives in the Crystal
Luis appeared to be shocked."Ancient locksmith? Luna, do you need a locksmith? I can manage the best locksmith right now.""No, no. Not the best one. I want to know about the ancient locksmith," Natalia said.Luis looked like he had no idea about it. So Natalia let out a sigh and said,"Forget it. Get back to your work."She reached out to one of the files that Luis had just placed.She opened the file and started to check about the deal. As she was reviewing it, she realized that Luis was still there, standing near the desk.Natalia raised her gaze from the file and asked,"Do you want to say something?"Luis lowered his head and said,"Luna, if you want, I can check it for you.""Check what? About that ancient locksmith?""Y-Yeah.""Okay. But don't tell anything to your Alpha."Luis glanced at her. She raised a brow and asked,"What? Are you my assistant or his?"Her voice was cold, just like she used to be in the Blue Blood Pack. She was not a soft woman who flickered around here
Natalia immediately received the call and spoke out first."Brother?"Jason's calm voice came out of the other side as he said,"Natalia.""Brother, where are you?"As if he could understand her desperate tone, he replied,"I am in the Blue Blood Pack. Why? What happened? Is everything okay there?""In the Blue Blood Pack? But when I asked Eric, he told me that you were out of the pack. When did you come back, brother?"The driver started the car. Natalia immediately grabbed the front passenger seat and gestured to the driver to stop the car.The driver hurriedly stopped the car and parked it on the side.She put the phone away for a second from her ear and said to the driver,"Wait a minute."The driver understood that she needed some privacy. So he nodded his head and went out of the car, leaving her inside to converse with her brother."I heard from Eric that you were looking for me. I was out of the pack for a few days for some work. I got back today."Natalia leaned her back agai
Jason was stunned upon hearing her. He could not understand why she was saying that."Natalia, what's wrong?"Natalia shook her head as she gritted her teeth and muttered,"I want their downfall, and here you are supporting them? Why, Brother?"Jason paused for a moment before calmy asked,"Why are you after them? I have not heard any mention of them visiting the Crystal Blood Pack. Trust me. They are not a threat to your pack.""Not a threat?"She scoffed at his words.The biggest threat they had already sent to them. It was Hazel and her child."I can't understand what you are saying. Did they offend you?" Jason uttered."If they did, will you hurt them?" She asked directly.Jason could not reply. Natalia was shocked by her brother's silence."What is your connection with that pack, brother? Do you know they are enemies of your sister's pack?""Enemy?""Yes, Enemy. They are after your sister's happiness. Now, don't ask me anything more because I can't explain anything to you right n
"Why?"Natalia asked as soon as Jason finished his sentence.Jason doubted her and asked,"What, why? Can't I come to visit my sister's pack?"Natalia bit her tongue. It was not like she did not want her brother to come to this pack. However, if he saw Hazel and learned about her child, there might be a big fight between him and Adrian.Her brother was very protective of her. He would not listen to her and take her away from Adrian.“You can visit. But given that you have just returned, you must be extremely busy with work.”She tried to make an excuse. She did not want him to see Hazel in the pack house and learn about her accusations against Adrian."That's why I said next week, Silly," his brother said with a chuckle.She almost smacked her forehead in frustration. She had no other choice but to say,"O-Okay."She hung up the call and closed her eyes. She did not know if his brother came to this pack how he would react.Natalia lowered her head and saw the file, which contained all
The car came to a stop in front of a large villa. From inside, Natalia could take a look inside. The blinds were slightly parted, revealing the dim lighting inside the villa.She shifted her gaze away from the villa and lowered her head to look at the file she was holding."Miss, we arrived," the driver said, assuming she was not aware or was in a daze.She took a deep breath and nodded her head."I know."The driver hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for her.She stepped out of the car and walked toward the villa.There were no guards outside, as if Adrian had told them not to be there.With slow steps, Natalia made her way to the front door.She lifted her hand to open the large door. Before opening it, she glanced at the file.There was no way she would let Adrian know about it. He did not need to know what she was doing. It was her choice to learn the truth by herself.She went inside and found no one in the living room. She looked around, trying to look for him."Wh
"I am afraid I will kill your child if I do."Adrian's voice was chilly, and it came out as a warning.Natalia was silent, not letting out a sound. However, as if he could feel her presence, he turned around, and their gaze met."Adrian? Please don't kill the child. I am afraid to stay here alone."Hazel's voice was coming out of the phone as the phone was on loudspeaker.Natalia forced her gaze away from Adrian's dark eyes. She shifted her gaze to the phone, which lay on the railing's frame.She slowly walked toward it while rubbing her hair. She removed the towel and placed it on the railing before grabbing Adrian's phone."Hello? Adrian? Are you listening to me?"Natalia glanced at Adrian, who looked surprised to see her. His curious gaze was visible to her."Don't disturb my husband. He won't come back. Because I am with him and I will always be."After saying that with a cold tone, Natalia cut the call.Adrian's eyes did not move from her.She was the one who broke eye contact ag
With a frown on her face, Natalia turned to face her brother. What was it that he desired that made him to assist the family, such as the Leightons? It was not unfamiliar how these people were. They were notorious and vicious people who could only cause harm to others. So why did he help them in the first place?She noticed that he was looking in a certain direction. Before her eyes could follow his gaze, Hazel got up from the couch."Excuse me. I am coming back in a few minutes," she said in a low tone.After that, Hazel walked past everyone.Natalia followed her movements until she left the living room. When she noticed that Hazel was sweating as if she had been startled, she was perplexed.Wasn't her family there for her to set up things for herself? Then why did she look so afraid?Natalia suspected that Hazel had begun to behave strangely since her family arrived.But why?As other people resumed their conversations, the living room started to emit a reverberation of voices.Afte
Hazel's sister-in-law, Ansel Leighton, was shocked. She did not expect Natalia to respond like that. Her eyes widened and glowed with anger."Did you just—"Lucas Miller, Adrian's father, stopped her from speaking when he noticed the atmosphere growing heated."Please don't take her words to heart."Natalia looked at Lucas to see why he had stopped Ansel. She wanted to hear her out before responding with what she deserved.A shameless family like Leighton deserved to be insulted rather than respected."My sister is very blunt. "She never considers who is in front of her; she always stands for the truth," Jason stated proudly.Ansel raised an eyebrow and said, "Then she should stand the truth this time as well. The truth is that someone else is carrying her husband's children. How can she not show her support for the woman? Can't she support the feelings of these two people and make her own decision?"Natalia clenched her jaw. How did she know what she and Adrian had talked about befor
Natalia was surprised to hear her brother. She glanced at the old man once again.Was what her brother said right?Her eyes quickly swept over Adrian's bandaged forehead. Before he could catch her eyes, she averted her gaze off of him.She pondered, 'Was it Old Leighton who was responsible for the burn on his forehead?’By telling herself that she did not care about Adrian anymore, she attempted to calm her heart.Through a hushed voice, she responded to her brother, "Okay."Jason shrugged his shoulders and said to the old man with a grin.“You are talking about culture and rules? In spite of the restrictions that my pack imposed, have you forgotten how I managed to make it to your pack? You are aware of the reason why I went there, right?”The expression on the old man's face changed. His thick brows furrowed, but then he let out a chuckle."I see I have offended Alpha Jason. Don't mind my words. I was only talking about terms. If that offends Alpha Jason, I apologize."Natalia was s
In the silent living roomEveryone's attention was on Natalia. The three new people scrutinized her with their predatory eyes.The pair of emerald eyes, which had been experienced by seeing many things, keened by focusing on her."How can you refer to her as this pack's Luna when there hasn't been a crown ceremony yet?"Hearing the strong voice, which did not shake a bit even though the owner was old, took Natalia aback.She turned her head to look at the old man. She felt awkward inside after meeting his gaze.It appeared that he possessed far more power than she had expected. The power of the wizarding world was something she was not unaware of. The words that he spoke pierced her heart and brought her to the realization of something that she had neglected to remember.'Crown Ceremony!' she thought, averting her gaze from the old man.She came to the realization that she had not yet earned the title of Luna of this pack. The reflection of the night the Crown Ceremony flashed on her
Natalia scrutinized the three people who did not greet her and instead went to take seats on the couches. Adrian did not even bother introducing her to them. She felt like an outsider.For once, she wanted to leave them for now.However, her brother held her hand and shook his head, indicating that she should not leave at this time."I hope we will not bring up the past. Our children made some mistakes; we will try to solve this," Lucas Miller said with a soft tone.Natalia remained composed, trying to concentrate on their conversation.The young woman had not yet sat down on the couch. She walked up to Adrian and stood beside him."Refreshing to see you again, Alpha Adrian."She was grinning charmingly, and as she gazed at him, her eyes glistened.She raised her hand and gently laid it on his shoulder before brushing something out of its way. As she slowly ran her fingernails over his shirt sleeve, she spoke again while gazing at the bandage around his forehead."You shouldn't have l
At the moment of hearing that, Natalia and Jason both appeared surprised.The Leighton family?Natalia almost forgot that she had heard Gamma Benjamin telling her that some guests were coming to the pack house. He did not say who the guests were, so she was unaware of their identities.Hearing that it was the Leighton family, Natalia felt a shift in her heart.Did they learn that Adrian agreed to accept Hazel and her child? Was it the reason for their arrival?Right after the guards, three people came to the site. They entered the pack house with their green eyes observing the surroundings around them.Natalia examined the three people.They looked powerful—really powerful.There was just one woman among the two men. The woman was young, but she could be two or three years older than Natalia.While the two men have different ages. One was a young man with a calm face, while the other appeared to be the family's main character.It was an elderly gentleman with emerald eyes. A power ema
The color of Adrian's eyes faded from black to brown. He frowned at her upon hearing her statement. He grabbed her wrist and questioned with a raspy voice,"Rule this pack on your own? You mean you want to rule my pack alone?"All of a sudden, she experienced a burning sensation in her wrist. The fact that his hand could cause her to experience such a burning sensation in her head was a mystery to her. Her grip loosened in shock.He was able to successfully get her to move away from him. It caused her to retreat a few steps back. As she was perplexed, her legs became unbalanced.Jason noticed his sister was about to fall. He hurried over to her and prevented her from falling by holding her.His head turned to Adrian, and he let out a low growl. He was filled with rage, and he had a strong desire to kill this man right at this moment."How dare you push her?"He was concerned that this man would cause harm to Natalia's child. Yeah, it was Natalia's child only. The idea of her living wi
Natalia's eyes turned a glowing dark blue. With her teeth gritted, she shot her gaze at Adrian.His parents were taken aback by her words. It was disrespectful to them. Natalia had never dared to do that before. She was always courteous and respectful towards them."Natalia!"Grace reacted angrily. Her eyes narrowed as she spoke,"We have been showing you care all these years. But by saying that you can kill us, you have just shown what our place is in your eyes."Grace looked at her husband, Lucas Miller, as she held his arm."Your father-in-law adores you and has always wanted you to be his daughter-in-law. He never accepted Lynda, and he never mentioned liking Hazel. But today, you disrespected this old man."Natalia turned a blind eye to all the things Grace Miller was saying. The moment Adrian announced that he was going to take Hazel as his mistress, she had completely lost her mind, and his parents did not even object to the idea.Upon seeing Adrian's expression of indifference,
Jason's eyes were filled with rage, which caused him to growl so loudly that Grace Miller was forced to cover her ears. After all among the four werewolves, she was the only person who was not an Alpha. Hazel was the exception, she was a witch.He turned around and looked directly at Hazel. She was trying to avoid his gaze."Are you pregnant with his child?"He asked her the question because he did not believe in it. Hearing about the mistress seemed less shocking than hearing this news.His teeth clenched as he stared at Hazel.Hazel stepped aside, appearing frightened, and stood behind Adrian. But there was no mercy in Jason's eyes. His eyes followed her every step. He noticed that she was firmly gripping Adrian's suit sleeve."Stop scaring her. She is pregnant. I don't want my unborn child hurt by anything."Natalia jerked up when she heard Adrian's words. She clutched her dress around her stomach with her hand.'His unborn child? Isn't his unborn child in my womb? Why is he acknow
