"What?"I was stunned by hearing him.He answered, "Yeah, that's what he wants."I gave him a headshake. "I can't go there."After glancing inside the hotel room, he remarked, "What makes a hotel room so good? You know how luxurious our pack house is already."I arched an eyebrow. Realizing that he was hinting that I was Adrian's ex-wife.Naturally, every one of his officials was aware of their Alpha's personal life. In truth, everyone learned about it by following social media posts."Give Alpha Lucas a call. I would like to speak with him." I told him.Without any delay, he reached into the pocket of his pants and took out his phone.He dialed Alpha Lucas's number and handed his phone to me.I took his phone and pressed it to my ear.When the call came through to Alpha Lucas, I said,"Uncle, I can't stay there.""Natalia, why? Haven't we discussed it yet?" he inquired."But Uncle, how can I live in the pack house?""You are our guest. Give us a chance to warmly welcome you."I let o
The living room descended into an enveloping silence, the atmosphere dense with words that were not uttered and conflicts that had not been resolved.'Didn't Delta Julian tell me that Adrian did not come to the pack house often? Then why is he here?' I thought.After what seemed like an eternity, Auntie Grace's voice broke the silence.“Adrian.”Adrian moved up to the couches and sat down on one of them.My attempt was to ignore him. During the time that I was listening to their conversation, I looked down at my lap."Did you come here to check on me? Because you don't usually come to the pack house. The only time we get to see your face is when there is a pack meeting that takes place in the pack house for any reason." Lucas Miller asked his son."What do you mean? Would it be necessary for me to have a purpose to come to my pack house? Doesn't the pack house serve as the residence of the leader of the pack?" Adrian asked with a bored tone.I almost scoffed at him loudly, but I contr
I knew those eyes really well. When his cologne touched my nostrils, I muttered angrily.“Adrian.”Did he just want to startle me?He was silently looking at me. I shook my head."I know it's your pack house. But stop following me."I turned around and proceeded to my room. To my astonishment, Adrian did not communicate with me or engage in a debate with me. But I was able to hear his footsteps coming from behind me.Unease began to creep into my body.Thank goodness I was able to get near to my room. The door to my room was only partially open, which meant that light was traveling out of my room and illuminating the area outside of my room.As I hurriedly proceeded, I reached out and grabbed the doorknob.In a relaxed manner, Adrian was making his way towards me, and I turned to face him.I was able to see him very well now. The color of his eyes changed from red to black."What's wrong with you? Why are you following me?" I asked furiously.He stopped in front of me. The expression
I looked at Lynda after hearing her. My eyes were filled with disgust for her.What were her thoughts? Would her comments affect me?I was not the Natalia who used to get bullied before. If I wanted to, I could teach her a lesson. But I was just a guest. I did not want to make any scenes with Alpha's sweetheart. It would simply make him feel like I was still eager for him."I think you forgot that. Adrian has not declared you the Luna of this pack," Uncle Lucas reminded her.Lynda's facial expression altered in an instant. She was going to say something but instead lowered her head and nodded."You are right, Uncle. Adrian has not declared me his Luna.”Auntie Grace looked away from her and said,"Since he doesn't want to, don't force him. Maybe he is still confused about you."Lynda raised her head. Tears streamed down her face. She seemed quite upset.For once, I felt pity for her. Adrian was in a relationship with her for a very long time.Why hadn't he accepted her as the Luna yet
My accusation caused the atmosphere in the dining room to become thick with tension that was not being expressed verbally.I had reached the end of my patience. I turned to Adrian's parents and spoke to them in a calm and collected manner, saying, "There is something that you all need to know about Lynda. She is not how she pretends to be."The look of surprise that appeared in Lynda's eyes was fleeting, but she swiftly regained her composure. She turned to me with a smile that was so easygoing that it was almost pitying, and she questioned,"W-What are you talking about? What have I done to you?"After taking my phone, which was sitting on the table in front of me, I scoffed at her and then proceeded to unlock it with my fingerprint.When I was trying to find Lynda's message that she had sent me the day after the party, I heard Adrian's cold voice."Lynda, what is she talking about? What did you do?"Gradually, I turned my head to look at him. The focus of his gaze was on Lynda. I wa
I could see Adrian's fierce face. The impact of my remarks on him caused him to become angry.I left the dining room, leaving everyone surprised by my words.As soon as I walked out of the dining room, tears began to flow down my cheeks. My level of agitation was so high that I decided to leave the pack house.After making a phone call, I told my driver to come and pick me up from the pack house.I stood outside the pack house after wiping my tears.It was only Adrian who was causing me pain over and over again. Why did this man want to do this? Hadn't the suffering he had inflicted upon me five years ago been enough?He proved me wrong. I had the misconception that I was not the kind of fragile girl who would always start to show weakness in front of him.Despite the fact that I was able to respond to him today, I was unable to tolerate his hurtful words.Did he believe that I planned everything so that I could blame Lynda?However, there was one thing that Lynda said to me that stuc
Adrian was in a state of anger and wanted to rush toward me, but Lynda was holding his arms and started crying."I need you to take me to the hospital, Adrian. It is very painful."After looking at her, Adrian gave a slight nod of his head. As he lifted her into his arms, he gave me one final look before heading to his car, which was parked a short distance away because it was his time to go to the office.I noticed that Lynda was looking at me. She gave me a sly grin and then reached out and wrapped her hands around Adrian's neck, giving the impression that he was hers."This woman! I am sure I didn't break her hand. I haven't even used my full strength. If I had done that, you would have lost your hand now." I muttered under my breath while looking away from her.Suddenly, my attention shifted to the guards, who had just been fired from their positions.I walked to them. They looked at me with sad expressions on their faces."Don't worry about your jobs. Are you okay with working som
Third POVIn front of a villa, a luxurious black car came to a halt.A driver got out of the car and opened the back door."Miss Lynda, we have arrived at your house," the driver said.Lynda was sitting in the backseat. She turned her head toward the man, who was smoking while looking outside through the window."Adrian, won't you help me?" Lynda asked with a requesting tone."You got hurt on your hand, not on your legs." Adrian gave a chilly response.Lynda swallowed at his cold tone. Adrian had bought her a house five years ago. But, for once, he never went inside the house. Others would find that shocking, but that was the reality.When she put her left hand on his thigh, he paused smoking.As he lifted the hand to push it, his gaze landed on her right hand. It had bandages on it.He gradually removed her hand from his thigh and looked at his driver."Assist her in going inside the house."Lynda shook her head and made an unpleasant expression. "I'm hoping Alpha will take action ag
