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
The next day,Natalia woke up early. She found Adrian sleeping, leaning against her. He was in a deep sleep. So she slowly got out of bed.Like the old days, she got ready and prepared breakfast for him.She did not wake him up and left for the company. She did not forget to take the file with her, which had the address of the blacksmith.She did not talk about it to anyone but planned to go there today.As the whole tiring day of work had finished, she thought about leaving the company.At that time, a young woman came and knocked on the door of her office room."Come in," she replied.As soon as the young woman entered her office, Natalia jumped on her seat."Damia?""Miss!"Damia rushed toward her.She came to hug Natalia. Natalia smiled at her and hugged her back."How are you, Damia?""Miss, I am happy. After seeing you, I am really happy right now. It is as if I am seeing my family member."Damia's excited tone made Natalia feel warmth.She stroked her hair and said,"Didn't I s
Natalia was confused as to why his brother often went out of his pack while leaving the important board meetings. And why might this be the case? Because she remembered that when she was in the pack, he disliked going outside. Even all important pack meetings used to take place in the Blue Blood Pack.Natalia fell silent, completely immersed in her thoughts.Damia glanced at Natalia, trying to get a new conversation as she thought she had said something that she should not have said."How is life in this pack? How is Alpha Adrian?"Natalia blinked her eyes, getting out of her thoughts. She turned to Damia and smiled at her."He's good."She tried to hide her fear in her heart, which was clenching inside all of a sudden.She needed to figure out how to fix everything before it was too late.Two hours went by while the car continued to move forward.The car moved into the village side as it passed through the old town.Natalia was thinking about the ancient locksmith. What stated in the
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
