The fear that she felt was the same fear that she had felt when she returned to this pack a year ago. It was Lynda who made up that car accident. The person who saved her from that accident was Adrian. She remembered how he put his own life in danger to save her.Then how could he not be able to control himself at this moment and drive the car in such a way that resulted in an accident?Fearing that she would die, she closed her eyes. In the middle of the street, the car was whirling around. Her body pressed against the door and her head began to spin around.On the other hand, everything came to a halt in an instant as her body jerked on the seat.She heard a loud noise in her head, like a siren ringing around the walls of her mind.The car hit on something and Natalia felt that she would fall from the car.After what seemed like an eternity, Natalia tried to feel any pain. Her hand was clutching her stomach.She opened her eyes to check if she was still alive.She blinked, but every
"He is what?" Natalia asked.She could wait a thousand years to find out where her husband is. She needed to meet him, she wanted to see him. She wanted to know if he was alright. She kept trying to get through the door with her exhausted body."He is fine, Luna."Natalia paused her movements and turned to look at Benjamin.She looked at him carefully to see if he was telling the truth or just keeping her calm. His eyes were clear, indicating that he was not lying."Where is he?" she inquired."He left the hospital about an hour ago."Natalia was stunned. She blinked, trying to remember whether what she had seen in the car was real or an illusion."Was he okay? How were his wounds?""He got a wound on his head. But aside from that, he is fine."Natalia did not ask why Adrian had not come to see her or waited for her to wake up.Benjamin helped her in reaching the bed by holding her hand and guiding her forward. He sat her down and poured a glass of water.After handing the glass to he
Natalia turned her head only to see her brother rushing over her."Natalia! What happened to you!"Natalia put the phone on the bed, not getting the chance to talk to her children. She tried to sit up. Jason held her waist, helping her to sit properly. He put a pillow behind her, and she rested her back on it.After taking a look at the brother and sister, Benjamin then said,"I am going out for a while."Although Natalia gave a slight nod, Jason frowned and turned his attention to him.“Where the fuck is the Miller family? My sister is in the hospital bed. Why is it that none of them are here?”Benjamin lowered his head and replied,"They are quite busy today. Tonight, there will be a few guests coming to pay a visit to the pack.”Natalia was confused upon hearing him. "Guests? Who?"Benjamin glanced at Natalia and then shifted his gaze to Jason. The expression on Natalia's face changed as Benjamin's mind connected with her and said,"Let's talk about it later."Natalia came to the c
The blush spread across Natalia's face as she nodded her head. "Yeah, brother."The confirmation of the news caused Jason's eyes to sparkle. His hand reached into his pocket, and he took out his phone."What are you doing?""I am calling Mom and Dad. They will be very pleased."She quickly shook her head and said,"Don't."Jason frowned at her and removed his phone from his ear. "But why?"She lowered her head, rubbing her palm with her fingers. She was entirely at a loss for words when it came to explaining anything to her brother."Adrian doesn't know about it yet."It seemed as though Jason was taken aback. "What?""Yes, brother."“But he should have known before anyone else. He is your mate. He can sense that.”Natalia had no idea why Adrian did not know this by himself. She was in a daze. Her brother gently patted her on the shoulder."It's okay. Tell him today. Let's go to the pack house to let others know."Natalia thought silently for a long time. In the end, she came to the c
Hazel's green eyes, which glowed for a brief moment, left Natalia bewildered as she observed them. She then turned to her brother, who appeared to be in a state of shock upon seeing Hazel.After rising from the couch, Natalia turned her attention to her brother."Brother, do you know her?"Jason's eyes were fixed on Hazel. His lips parted as if he was going to reply.At that moment, Hazel cleared her throat and looked away from Jason."N-No. We don't know each other."There was a frown on Natalia's face. Why did she reply? Did she ask her or her brother?Jason's finger turned into a fist, moving down to his side. His confused-looking face turned calm as he muttered,"Isn't she the princess of the Black Hawk Pack?"Hazel's gaze returned to him. They looked at each other. Natalia's confusion got even worse. Nevertheless, she recalled that her brother had been providing support for Hazel's pack for some time, which made it possible that he was familiar with Hazel."S-She..."Grace Miller
Everyone turned their heads to see Adrian in the left corner."Dad"Aria and Noah mumbled. Adrian looked at them. When Adrian's eyes met theirs, they hid behind Jason."Go back to your room," Adrian said to them.They let go of Jason and dashed up the stairs to obey his command.Natalia was so focused on him that she missed her children's expressions. He was dressed in a gray suit. A bandage was wrapped around his forehead. He looked good with his bangs falling on his forehead and hiding the bandage.He rarely covered his forehead with hair. This was a new look that suited him perfectly.Nevertheless, Natalia could not ignore his words over his looks. She was worried for him; at the same time, she was perplexed.The accident injured him. Her gaze moved to his hands. She could see that his right sleeves were slightly bulged in the arm area. She was certain there was a bandage. His fingers looked fine, but there were a few scratches."What do you mean she is going to stay here forever?"
As if the sky had fallen over Natalia, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. The shock caused her eyes to widen.What was he saying?She tried to comprehend what she was experiencing on the inside by blinking her eyes back and forth. It was almost impossible to bear the pain of the heartache."What are you saying?" she mumbled.Jason was just as surprised as everyone else when he heard Adrian.But the next moment he rushed up to Adrian and punched his cheek.“You fucker! Do you have any idea what you are saying?” Jason let out a roar.The punch caused Adrian's face to turn. A gush of blood started to come out of the left corner of his lips. He touched his lips with his thumb and looked at it.His eyes turned brown for a moment, which Jason did not notice. Because he was so enraged, he had every intention of punching him once more.“Adrian!”Grace Miller screamed in fear when Jason was about to punch her son again.However, Adrian grabbed his wrist and glared at him."Don't forget you ar
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
It was quite late at night.Jason had left the pack house. The Leightons went to the guest rooms, which had been prepared for them by the maid. Hazel also went back to her bedroom.Adrian was sitting on the couch with his parents beside him. There was nobody else in the living room."Adrian, you made the right decision when you said you wanted to make Hazel your mistress," his father, Lucas Miller, said.His mother, Grace, was silently listening to them."They had come to recreate the past. This time, don't repeat what I did years ago," Lucas added.Adrian did not respond; he was staring at the marble floor the entire time.As if he were experiencing numbness on the inside, he was unable to make any expressions.His mind went completely still as he listened to the voices.He shut his eyes. He took hold of his head and used his fingers to massage his forehead. He had felt this since waking up today.By the time he regained consciousness after the accident, he was already in the hospita
The sharp eyes of Ansel were able to observe Hazel. It was clear that she was not in the least bit pleased. "Hazel, don't forget why you are here."“I-I asked you something. Didn't you say—”"Shut up!"Hazel bit her tongue and averted her gaze from Ansel. Ansel grabbed Hazel's hand and looked around to see if anyone was there.When Ansel saw there was no one, she leaned close to Hazel and said angrily,"If I hadn't come here, you would have spilled all the truth to Alpha Jason."Hazel looked at her, intending to speak, but Ansel shook her head. "No, no, honey. You are not brave enough to do it."Ansel's hand moved toward her belly, raising her brows. Hazel tried to push her hand, but Ansel pressed her hands against her belly."Don't dare to lose the track, or I will kill your child."Hazel gritted her teeth, nodding her head. "Don't kill my child."Ansel grinned evilly as he examined Hazel's belly. "Who wishes to kill it? It will get Alpha Adrian's name. If your brother had not been i
Hazel let out a painful hiss. She remembered the time Natalia had grabbed her by the neck. She became aware that both of the siblings were easily agitated. Turning her head away from Jason, she muttered,"I—I didn't know he was your sister's h-husband; otherwise...""Otherwise? Otherwise what? You would have slept with some other guy?" He let out an angry laugh.His jaw clenched as he stared at the woman. There was a burn in his chest, making him feel irritated.He could never describe what he was feeling inside. All he wanted was to kill this woman."You were here, living a luxurious life in this pack while carrying another man's child, and there I..."He paused, attempting to hide his emotions from her.Hazel cast a slow glance at him. She took a shaky breath before asking,"You what?"His hand gripped her jaw and he pulled her face toward his. Their faces were close, which caused her to remain still."And there I have been looking for you throughout your entire pack. I thought your
Jason looked mad as if his blood was boiling. He was inhaling deeply as though he would harm her at any moment. His jaw clenched, preventing himself from doing anything wrong.Lastly, he could not control himself, and his hand immediately moved to grab her neck. He growled at her as he asked,"How dare you sleep with another guy and get pregnant?"Hazel's eyes grew larger, feeling difficult to breathe. She patted his hand to release her. His eyes remained sharp, glaring at her while he waited for her response."J-Jason, I—"His grip tightened, making it impossible for her to take a deep breath. She could breathe out, but she was unable to breathe in to continue talking.Her eyes began to well up with tears and her face went pale. Tears rolled down from her eyes, falling down on her cheeks. Her hand, gently caressing his, slowed down her movements. Her lips quivered in fear that her heart might stop beating at any moment.She reached up to touch her belly with her other hand. She looke
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
