"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
She quickly picked up Adrian's phone. She brought the phone near her ear. She was about to ask if he was okay; he cut her off and asked,"Where are you?"Natalia paused herself. She could not move after hearing his voice. He did not seem unwell or in any danger.So he was also fine, then why the hell was she still feeling like that?"I am outside," she replied, trying to calm her breath.Adrian turned quiet as if he could hear her loud heartbeats.Her gaze moved outside the window. A few drops of rain began to land on the windowpane. The yellow lights of the street started to illuminate the raindrops.Natalia's gaze was drawn to the slow movement of the raindrops as they combined with other drops.At that time, both of them were listening to each other's breath on the phone.After a minute of silence, Adrian asked,"Are you coming home tonight?"Natalia blinked her eyes.He again said home. It was true. His residence was their actual home, where they used to live before."No.""Why?"
"Caspian Brooks?"Natalia asked as she walked toward the old man who was sitting on the wooden floor while slamming a hammer on a key.Though he was an old man, his hands were not shaking while working. His hands tightened his grips whenever his hammer went close to the keys.Hearing his name, the old man raised his head slowly. He adjusted his glasses and tried to look at Natalia carefully."Who are you, child?" he said with a weak voice.Natalia realized that he was not as strong as she had thought about him. It was just that his hands were professional when he was working."Gentleman, I need your help."The old man set down his hammer and looked at the old woman behind Natalia and Damia."Please sit," the old woman said to them.The house was really small. It would not be a lie for her to say that the entire house was equal to her and Adrian's bedroom in the pack house.The old woman was about to grab a stool for them. But Natalia shook her hands to stop her."We can sit on the flo
Natalia was shocked. Why would anyone try to spellbind a door? What could be the reason?Her heart rate dropped as she remembered Hazel talking to someone while standing outside the door.Is this door the reason Hazel is wrongfully accusing Adrian? Does she want to go inside? Is there something inside that she wants?'So many questions popped into her head. She wanted to know the answers. Only by opening the door could she get the answers."Do you know what's inside there?" Natalia asked with a confused tone.The old locksmith shook his head. He averted his gaze from them. His eyes became cloudy, as if something was reflected in his mind."My father had a close relationship with the royals. All the lock on the packhouse's doors was installed by him.”Natalia focused on his words. She was eager to know about his thoughts."It was about forty years ago. One night, Alpha came to our house. I was working with my father. I have two children who were also working with me. My father was old
It's been two days since Natalia went to visit the ancient locksmith. She had been thinking hard if she could open the door.She even made a few attempts the last two nights. But she failed to open it.She realized she did not have much power to break the spell and opened the door.If an Alpha could break a spell, only one person was capable of doing so.And that was Alpha Adrian Miller.Natalia recalled how he broke Qadir's spell during the war. He got to know about Noah and Aria at that time.Natalia wondered if Adrian would ever try to open this secret room.She did not know why she was intrigued by the room.It was late at night.Natalia decided to go to the door again tonight.As she approached the door with slow steps, her heartbeat started to get slower for no reason.Was her unborn baby okay?She caressed her belly with a deep breath."Let's try again," she said to herself and walked toward the door.She glanced at the lock, which bore a red seal.She looked at the door and li
She lowered her head, looking at the lock. It had sharp edges.She raised her hand and grasped the lock. She swept her palm across the jagged edge after pressing it firmly against it.Immediately, blood spurted from her hand, soaking the lock.Natalia gripped the lock tightly as she felt a burning sensation on her palm.Her dark blue eyes glowed as she made her final attempt. Taking hold of the lock, she exerted all her strength to pull it.She moved back when the lock broke, and it came to her hand from the door.She was surprised to see that the lock had finally broken.She returned the lock to its previous position without closing it.She lifted her head and took a few shaky breaths before opening the door.As soon as she opened it, she felt as though she was blinded. Because all she could see was darkness inside.She stepped inside the room.She flinched as the door behind her slammed loudly.There was no more light coming from the open door. The darkness completely engulfed her i
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
