As his eyes became more gloomy, Adrian's smirk began to fade away. The tone that the young boy used was rude to him."I don't need your permission to stay close to her, little boy." Adrian responded to his warning."My name is Noah. Do not refer to me as a little boy. At the airport, I gave you a warning. So-""Noah, who are you talking with? Are you talking with that handsome uncle?"However, Noah was interrupted by another voice. Adrian recognized that voice. He was able to recall the name of that girl."Let me talk to him."As soon as Aria snatched the phone from Noah's grasp, she immediately began a conversation with Adrian."Hello, handsome uncle. Did my mommy meet you?"When he heard the voice, Adrian thought it was too sweet for him. For some unknown reason, he found that talking to her made him feel good.Hearing Aria's voice brought to mind her adorable face, despite the fact that he was not the type of guy who loved children.In an effort to avoid frightening the youngster,
Adrian lowered his head to her neck. At the moment when his nose made contact with Natalia's ear, she ceased breathing.Even if she had no intention of making any kind of physical contact with him, the feeling of closeness between them created a spark in her body."Why did you do that? I thought you were a..." Adrian took a little pause before moving his mouth to her neck because he was incapable of controlling himself.The scent of her was hypnotizing his senses and causing him to forget about the world around him.Despite the fact that he was capable of fighting against thousands of other wolves during the war, his wolf was unable to resist the secret of his mate.Taking a whiff of her scent, Adrian brushed his nose against her neck.Natalia's eyes widened. She knew what was happening, but her body turned numb at his touch.He was rubbing his nose in the area where a mate was supposed to mark his mate. It was her soft spot, too.She was surprised that he had not forgotten the place
Natalia's POVAs the days passed, I was trying to adapt to the surroundings around me in the Crystal Blood Pack.I went to meet Uncle Lucas daily, as I promised him. I took care of him like a daughter. It was clear that Auntie Grace valued me very much. She said that she knew I did not like my foster family, but I could think of her as my mother.I was unable to be honest with her about the fact that I had discovered my true family and that they were like blessings in my life.It was the last day of the week.Tomorrow, Uncle Lucas would need the cure to heal his wolf.Given that Harold was going to check on Uncle Lucas, we all went to the hospital."I am surprised that his health is getting really good," Harold said to Auntie Grace.After turning her attention to me, Auntie Grace told Harold,"She took care of Lucas. She was always responsible for changing Lucas's medication and ensuring that he fed well. Because of her, Lucas was happy the whole week. It is almost like having a daugh
“I had the intention of sending someone else. But I had the feeling that I ought to come and bring you back.”While I was staring at my brother, I did not utter a single word. His concerns were overwhelming to me. I could understand his worries."Where is the cure?" I asked him.He raised a brow and said,"Do you want me to give you that right here?"As I looked around, I noticed that there were a few people who were looking at us.I went inside the hotel while holding his hand."Oh, no way. It is impossible to predict when someone may engage in a plan against me and turn the cure into poison. This place is full of adversaries for me, brother."When he heard my statements, he laughed. I could not deny the fact that Jason and I shared a wonderful bond. He was a brother who loved me very much and was the one who saved my life.If he had not saved me five years ago, I would have died in the forest. If he had not protected me like a shield, I would have become a laughing stock in our pack
Adrian's POVThe whole day passed in the hospital.The fact that I cared for my parents was something that I did not express to them. I was worried for my father. That was another case where I could not forgive him for destroying my life. However, he was my father. I don't want him to die.I cast a fleeting glance in the direction of Natalia, who was pacing around outside the operating room.I observed her the whole day. Something that really caught me off guard was the truth that she looked worried about my father.It was always her claim that we were divorced, wasn't it? Then why did she look after my father for the entire week?My mother told me how she went to the pack house and helped my father with medicines or his nutrition.I couldn't help but wonder how she was able to be so knowledgeable about them.In the last five years, I had never witnessed my parents being so happy and pleased as they were right now with Natalia.I could not change their thoughts about Natalia. They saw
Third POVAdrian looked at the road while following Natalia's car. He had no idea why he was trailing after her. But when his mother told him that she was leaving, he did not like that at all.How could she leave his pack without his permission?Suddenly, a few raindrops began to fall on the windshield out of nowhere. As he raised his eyes to the sky, he noticed that it was cloudy."It's raining," he muttered.The slippery ground mirrored what was happening in the sky. The loud thunderstorms echoed through the whole street.Adrian's eyes were on the red light emanating from Natalia's car.While following the car, he dialed her number. He wanted to stop her and ask her about many things in the hopes of getting an answer from her.He did not feel right about the thought of her leaving.He got mad when Natalia cut his calls every single time. Every unanswered call made him feel unknown worry. He found that woman's actions to be frustrating."Why is this woman not picking up my calls?" he
Adrian did not waste his time in gathering his breath. Without any hesitation, he got out of the car as quickly as he could.The buzz of the moment compelled him to move forward. The sound of raindrops seemed like nothing to him compared to the sound of his fast heartbeats. It was only the rain that witnessed such a disaster.In his rush to get to Natalia's car, he hardly paid attention to the damp ground beneath his feet.The world around him became hazy before him. His own pounding heart blurred the edges of reality.The closer he approached, the more he felt that it was shattering his heart, instilling fear in his mind, and frightening him from the inside.Natalia's car looked like a mystery in silence under the rain, and Adrian was desperate to unfold it."Natalia, can you hear me?" He called out.His voice came to her ears like a hand reaching out to rescue her from a dark imprisonment.Inside the car, Natalia was feeling a whirlwind of emotions.Her world, which was as fragile as
Natalia was stunned by the question. It was so painful that she could not even move her head to look at her hand because she was bleeding from her head, and she was in so much pain.To get a better look at what Adrian was talking about, she slowly raised her hand.But the moment she saw the scar, she was caught off guard.For what reason did the scar suddenly become visible after being concealed for so many years? Did something happen to her body? Why could her body not cover her scars?She did not want to talk about it. There was no need to pull the past into her life again.She never regretted it. But the current state of affairs would only serve to make her feel more unhappy about the situation. So, after so many years, she did not want to talk about it because she did not want to think about it again."I-I was attacked by rogues and w-woke up without that memory.""Whe-"The sound of a car's horn cut through Adrian's conversation. When he turned around, he noticed that Patric had
