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
Natalia’s POV The dream felt so real. In it, I let out a moan as he sensually placed his hands on me, breaking our kiss. His electrifying touch sent waves of desire coursing through my veins. He lowered his head, and his kiss caressed the tender spot on my neck. I closed my eyes, hoping his affections would continue. His breath hungrily grazed my earlobe, sending shivers down my spine. But then, in a deep, chilling voice, he said, “Never.” I gasped, and my eyes flung open. I was alone in the room.It had been two years since I married Adrian Miller, the future alpha of the Crystal Blood Pack. During our two years together, I had tried and failed to win his love many times over. He hadn’t even marked me yet, despite that I was his wife. And as a werewolf, I couldn’t help but want my alpha to mark me as his. He also hadn’t been home in a long time, and I yearned for his touch.I heaved a sigh, sat slowly, and yawned. Then I looked at the clock, and my mouth dropped open. “Shit! I’m
Adrian froze at the word divorce. Then he heard me. He moved his head away from my neck and peered at me. “Do you even know what you are saying?” he asked, releasing his grip on my hands. As he did so, I brought my hands close to my front body.He stared at me, waiting for my answer, I brought my hands to the front of my body, then looked for any sign of discomfort in his expression. His question had made me wonder whether or not he was at all hurt by it. But the look in his eyes said I was wrong to wonder. He was a mighty alpha within our pack, second only to his father. Our divorce would bring his life back to normal, which was exactly what he desired. So how could he feel upset by it?I burst into tears and repeated, “Let’s get a divorce.”Deep lines formed between his thick brows. “Boring,” dismissively as he moved away from my body and rose from the bed. “You’re nothing but a nuisance!”I struggled to get up. “I’m not kidding. I’m serious.” To show him just how serious, I opened
Adrian’s POVI sat brooding amid loud bar music and colorful mist. “How dare she prepare the divorce papers?” I muttered to myself while staring at the drink before me. “And she thought I wouldn’t sign them?” My lips morphed into a twisted grin. “But I destroyed her little plan, didn’t I?” I felt that Natalia was not only a really dull woman, but a wicked person. I could still vividly recalled the details of the events that led up to our marriage. She had been eighteen the night we “met.” It had been my twenty-first birthday, and she’d drugged me. I woke next to her in a hotel bed the following morning and I understood it must be Natalia who did that.I hated her from that day forth, especially after my father demanded that I had to marry her. She had to have begged my father to marry me, too. Seeing how she was the daughter of a gamma, she had no chance to be the pack’s luna otherwise. So she’d entrapped me. And my father, in his perfection and compassion for other pack members, di
Natalia’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, I found myself in a hospital cabin. The last thing I recalled was a discomfort in my stomach. Panicked, I sat up and put my hand on my belly.“Don’t worry.” Dr. Reid’s voice met my years. “Your babies are totally fine.”As I turned my head to see him scanning what looked like reports.“D-did Adrian bring me here?” I inquired about him.He placed the papers on the tiny table that was located close to the bed, then turned to approach me. “Yes, but he’s already gone.”“Does he know?” I asked, trying not to let terror come through in my voice.“Not if you didn’t tell him.”I exhaled, and my body relaxed. However, at that moment, a thought occurred to me.Doctor Ried was the chief physician at the pack hospital. So, he was close to Adrian in some way. In the future, he would be likely to share the news of my children with Adrian at some point.“Dr. Ried, can I request something of you?”“Of course.” “Please, don’t tell Adrian about my babies.”His eyeb
A servant went to find Luna Grace Miller was approaching me.It appeared she was in the garden. Alpha Lucas and I waited in the sitting room. A short while later, Luna Grace entered, the epitome of both elegance and power. Her presence commanded dignity, and her battle prowess was widely known and lauded.Initially, she was not happy with having me, a woman who did not have a wolf, as a mate for Adrian. She had behaved cooly toward me and expressed her disappointment at her husband’s choice. But in time, I’d won her over, and she became fond of me as her daughter-in-law, which meant I hated have to say the words I uttered next. “I want to leave the pack.”Shock raced across Luna’s face before she reined in the expression of her outward emotions. “What happened, Natalia?” she asked with concern in her voice. “Did he say something? Did he hurt you?” Before I could answer, Alpha Miller cut in. “I promise he will apologize to you today. Don’t do anything in a hurry.”They didn’t seem to
I looked into Adrian’s hostile eyes, wondering why he despised me so, even after I gave him the opportunity to be free of me.“Release her hand,” Alpha Lucas said in a furious tone.“But Da—”“Shut up!”Adrian glared at me, and I averted my eyes. Alpha Lucas continued. “You decided to divorce her without consulting me? Have you forgotten what I told you before you got married?”Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Adrian’s balled fists. I glanced at him only to see his face filled with rage. I could see Adrian fuming with rage and balling his fists.“What did you do that she had to take this step?” Luna Grace asked. When Adrian failed to reply, she turned to me. “My dear,” she said, concern etched on her face, “please explain to us what the problem is with him. We can find a solution.” Memories flooded my mind. There had been so many times where I overlooked Adrian’s faults, starting on our wedding night when he poured a bottle of wine on me, showing me what he thought of me. From th
Biting wind beat against my face, and whipped at the folds of my long white dress. I wrapped my arms around myself as I walked, wishing the dress had long sleeves. But it wasn’t just the weather that sent shivers down my spine. No, something deeper and far colder, that resided within me. It was as if my heart had turned to ice, frozen and unyielding.Yet, a heavy pain weighed upon my heart with an unbearable intensity as well. With every step, I could hear Adrain’s words echoed through my mind. He hadn’t even tried to stop me from leaving. But then, how could I not expect anything from him? Hadn’t I learned by now?The driver of a passing vehicle yelled at me, and I realized I’d wandered into the middle of a road. With no specific destination, emptiness filled me. A route through the forest grabbed my attention and became my destination, at least for the moment. As I entered the woods, the sky began to darken, so I didn’t waste any time resting. Though I wasn’t sure where I would end

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
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?"
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
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
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
"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
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
She noticed him get into the driver's seat. "Are we going somewhere? We have to go to the pack house. We have to get there before him," she said, glancing at his brown eyes.He listened to her but did not respond.He appeared to be in a rage.After shifting gears, he slammed on the accelerator and started the car.The car got out of the area of his house in a few seconds.Natalia’s heartbeat started to race as she watched how fast the landscape moved before her eyes.“Drive slowly,” she uttered.He paid no attention to what she had to say and continued driving in the opposite direction.She frowned when she noticed it and said,“That's not the way of going to the pack house. Where are you going?”He drove the car while remaining silent. A furrow appeared to form between his brows as if he was becoming irritated by her question.She shut her mouth and decided to silently watch him driving the car. She was eager to find out where he was going to take her.It was his clean forehead that
