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
Despite the fact that Adrian desired to remain in the hospital, Partric advised him to return to his company's apartment or to the pack house in order to get some rest.Since both of his parents were also in the pack hospital, he did not go to the pack house. His father had not yet been released from the hospital for his condition. So he left for the apartment that he usually stayed in, which was owned by his company. He did not inform his mother about all the things that happened. His father was still unconscious, which prevented him from causing his mother any cause for concern.His car was destroyed on the road during the accident, so Patric told his driver to send him to his apartment.While sitting on the backseat, Adrian looked outside the window. He was not feeling well. His wolf felt affected a lot by watching Natalia's condition.One thing Adrian felt today was that he could not resist the mate bond.He believed that because of the mate bond, he was experiencing these kinds o
An angry growl came out of Adrian's mouth. Lynda's knees were trembling at the soles of her feet. In a few seconds, she fell to her knees in submission."Where did you get those photos?" Adrian asked her."O-One of my friends recognized her and clicked those photos. They said Alpha Jason was calling her baby. They looked very close to each other."Adrian tightened his fists in anger. He had no idea why he was feeling so affected by that woman.Didn't he know that Natalia was like this? She had children with another man. After everything that had happened, why was she still having such an impact on him? He was getting mad at himself. He turned his attention to Lynda."When were the photos taken?"Lyda raised her head and replied, "Last night.""Then why did you wait for the whole day to show me these photos?""She sent it to me an hour ago. She even said that she heard them talking about a cure. Natalia asked whether or not Alpha Jason had brought that with him."Adrian was silent for
Natalia's POVAs soon as I heard him say such gibberish, a sharp pain shot through my left side of the chest. I could not even place my hand over it since I was staring at the cruel man in front of me.Just now, I was thinking about thanking him for saving my life. But the reality was that this man was nothing but a scumbag.He was talking something like this about me and my brother. How ridiculous!There was no way I would reveal my identity to him. However, what was his problem with me being with another man? Why was he assuming things? He even accused me of getting the cure by sleeping with another man!"Cat caught your tongue? Oh, wait. What am I even expecting from you? A justification for sleeping with another alpha?"I closed my eyes and tightened my fists around the white hospital bed sheet. I felt the fabric rough against my fingers. My nails almost pierced my skin while penetrating the white sheet.'Calm down. Don't lose your temper.' I told myself.After opening my eyes, I
Adrian left after humiliating me more with his cruel words. I was sitting on the bed while peering out the window. My heart was aching just thinking about how Adrian was accusing me.I only did one thing wrong, which was falling for him in my past. If I hadn't fallen for him, I would not have felt like this.I closed my eyes as I tried to connect with my wolf. She was mad at Adrian. She did not believe that he could treat his mate like that."Nancy, let's go back," I said to her.My wolf was quiet inside me. She did not want to answer me about it, demonstrating that she did not agree with it. I knew how she was feeling for her mate.At the end of the day, we were werewolves. We could feel our wolf, talk to them at the same time, and sense their sentiments. They were part and parcel of our lives.But I was unable to pay attention to her silent reply. I could not fulfill her wish to be with our mate.The sound of the door opening disrupted my train of thought. I turned my head and notic
I lifted my left hand and squeezed Jason's sleeve."Brother!"Harold turned his head to look at Jason."Of course not, Alpha Jason. How can I think of going after the princess of the Blue Blood Pack? She is my friend, and that's my great fortune."Saying that, Harold glanced at me for the last time with a small smile and then left the cabin.I felt bad for Harold. I was sure that he never thought anything like that about me. He was my private physician; he knew everything about my health, which is why he took care of me. He had such a big heart that he helped me hide my children's truth from their father."Why are you sad? Do you like that guy?" I heard my brother.I removed my hand from his sleeve and replied,"What? No. But he is my very good friend. He was the one who first helped me hide the truth from Adrian. I told you that, remember?"He sat on the edge of the bed and replied,"That's why I appreciated him. But as a man, I could see other men's intentions too.""Do you mean he
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
At the moment of hearing that, Natalia and Jason both appeared surprised.The Leighton family?Natalia almost forgot that she had heard Gamma Benjamin telling her that some guests were coming to the pack house. He did not say who the guests were, so she was unaware of their identities.Hearing that it was the Leighton family, Natalia felt a shift in her heart.Did they learn that Adrian agreed to accept Hazel and her child? Was it the reason for their arrival?Right after the guards, three people came to the site. They entered the pack house with their green eyes observing the surroundings around them.Natalia examined the three people.They looked powerful—really powerful.There was just one woman among the two men. The woman was young, but she could be two or three years older than Natalia.While the two men have different ages. One was a young man with a calm face, while the other appeared to be the family's main character.It was an elderly gentleman with emerald eyes. A power ema
The color of Adrian's eyes faded from black to brown. He frowned at her upon hearing her statement. He grabbed her wrist and questioned with a raspy voice,"Rule this pack on your own? You mean you want to rule my pack alone?"All of a sudden, she experienced a burning sensation in her wrist. The fact that his hand could cause her to experience such a burning sensation in her head was a mystery to her. Her grip loosened in shock.He was able to successfully get her to move away from him. It caused her to retreat a few steps back. As she was perplexed, her legs became unbalanced.Jason noticed his sister was about to fall. He hurried over to her and prevented her from falling by holding her.His head turned to Adrian, and he let out a low growl. He was filled with rage, and he had a strong desire to kill this man right at this moment."How dare you push her?"He was concerned that this man would cause harm to Natalia's child. Yeah, it was Natalia's child only. The idea of her living wi
Natalia's eyes turned a glowing dark blue. With her teeth gritted, she shot her gaze at Adrian.His parents were taken aback by her words. It was disrespectful to them. Natalia had never dared to do that before. She was always courteous and respectful towards them."Natalia!"Grace reacted angrily. Her eyes narrowed as she spoke,"We have been showing you care all these years. But by saying that you can kill us, you have just shown what our place is in your eyes."Grace looked at her husband, Lucas Miller, as she held his arm."Your father-in-law adores you and has always wanted you to be his daughter-in-law. He never accepted Lynda, and he never mentioned liking Hazel. But today, you disrespected this old man."Natalia turned a blind eye to all the things Grace Miller was saying. The moment Adrian announced that he was going to take Hazel as his mistress, she had completely lost her mind, and his parents did not even object to the idea.Upon seeing Adrian's expression of indifference,
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
