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
Third POVAdrian's mood was disastrous the whole day. He did not go back to the hospital after talking with Natalia.He decided he would not care for that woman again. He hated himself for feeling the way he felt last night for her."Alpha, we lost the deal. Some of our people betrayed us," his secretary said, blowing his head.Adrian threw the file away in anger. He got to his feet, which startled his secretary.His secretary moved backward while lowering his head."How did we lose the project? Who dared to betray me?" Adrian asked with a cold tone.Stress was clearly visible on his face. Others would think that it was because of losing the project. However, the reason was something else."WHO?" he yelled.His secretary almost fell to his knees. "Alphas from the east side wished to send their products to the Blue Blood Pack.”Adrian arched his brows. "What did you just say? Which pack?" he asked, gritting his teeth."B-Bue Blood Pack."Adrian growled in outrage.Hearing his growl, Be
"Alpha Jason?"Adrian was shocked to hear that. Did that woman dare to leave his pack with that Alpha?"Yes, Alpha Jason. When I was Luna, I met his parents, Alpha Martin and Luna Jade, a few times. They are good people." Grace said this to her son as she began to think about something.Before Adrian could ask her about anything more, she started to talk again."In fact, they were supposed to come to our pack many years ago. Your dad wanted an alliance with them. Even they agreed with that, too. But who knows what happened? They never came."Adrian raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying that something happened or that they were so arrogant that they did not want to be here or that they seemed happy on the surface when in fact they did not want the alliance in the first place?"Grace shook her head in refusal. "No. Later, we came to know the truth."Adrian furrowed his brows. "What truth?""Their newborn daughter died."His brows shot up. "They had a daughter?""Yeah. There was a rumor tha
Natalia's POVMy family was worried about the condition of my health. That was the reason why they remained by my side from the moment I returned to my pack to the present day.My twins were scared when they saw my bandages. They had never seen their mother in so much pain before.As Harold said, it took me a whole week to get well. Passing that week was not easy for me. However, with the help of my family, I got back to my health again."I can't understand the reason behind your body's sudden revelation of your scars. It seems that your wolf stopped covering it," our pack's old physician said to me.I came to meet him after I had recovered my health. My parents sent me to him, saying that he was our well-wisher.He was not any ordinary wolf but a hybrid who had wizard blood. He had every solution to any problem."That means if her wolf wants, she can reveal every scar that her body has been hiding for years?" My brother, Jason, asked.Both of us came to meet the elderly gentleman. At
"But Dad, I-"I wanted to tell him that I was ready, but he cut me off and said,"It is the right time. Next week, you will take over the company and accept the position of CEO."I could not cross over my dad's words. If he said he wanted me to take over, I would have to."Your dad is right. You have learned enough. You can learn more after sitting in that position, too," my mom said to me.I nodded at them and turned to my brother. He smiled at me.He placed his hand on my head. "Everything will be okay. If anyone will dare to say something to my sister after that, I will pull their eyes out."I assumed he was talking about Adrian. I wondered how Adrian would react when he learned the truth about my identity. I hoped he would regret all the accusations. I thought that man would still try to find another reason to pull me down.As days passed, I rejoined the company and began to work again. I had a really busy schedule the whole week.My babies wanted my time, but I could not give the
Unexpectedly, on my very first day as CEO of the pack company, an accident occurred.As I was going to my new office room, I heard there was a meeting going on among the board of directors."I can only stay beside you. But you yourself have to handle everything," Eric reminded me.I nodded at him and decided to go to the meeting room directly.On my way to the meeting room, I listened to what people inside the meeting were discussing.I overheard them talking about how I was Alpha Martin's illegitimate daughter and had just gotten back to take everything away from my brother, the actual heir, Jason Hansley.As Eric opened the door of the meeting room, I walked in confidently.They were shocked to see me there. They glanced at Eric, who was glaring at them. In an instant, they got to their feet and bowed to him since he was the beta of this pack."I overheard you all. My bad," I said to them.My sassy tone made their eyes widen. Eric smirked as he nodded his head while looking down at
FOUR YEARS LATER ...Under the leadership of Alpha and Luna, the Crystal Pack had grown into a formidable pack. Everyone used to be afraid of Alpha Adrian, but after his Luna joined him, the fear doubled because they were the power couple in the werewolf world."Luna Natalia,"The maids bowed to the stunning woman as she walked glamorously through the corridors. She gave them nods as she passed them.Other Lunas were envious of her, finding it hard to believe a woman could possess such powerful abilities. She was an Alpha female and not only that, she was giant like her mate.It was as if they were both moon children, destined to be together forever.In the past few years, Natalia has experienced every stage of her life with her husband, and time has passed very slowly with each passing year. Her life had completely changed. Her opinions, her way of thinking, her way of talking, her etiquette, and many other things had changed. However, what did not change was her heart. She cared
After the crown ceremony,Natalia glanced at Grace, considering taking Adelia to the bedroom."Mom, you must be tired from holding her.""No, it's okay. Amanda was there with me all the time."Natalia moved her hand up. “She is asleep. You can—”Adrian came over to her and stopped her. "You can leave her to Mom. I am sure she can handle her. You look worn out anyway."Natalia was stunned. She shot him a look. Adrian shrugged his shoulders and walked up the stairs."Mom, don't listen to him."Grace shook her head and replied, "He is right. You were very busy throughout the day. Take a rest tonight. I will take care of Adelia."Natalia let out a sigh and agreed to her. She glanced at the sleeping baby and went to the bedroom.When she entered the bedroom, she found the whole room was empty.She shut the door and took off her crown. She carefully placed it inside the closet, next to the dagger.As she finished removing all of her jewelry, the bathroom door opened.She turned her head onl
A Few Months Later"I, Adrian Miller, Alpha King, declare Natalia Miller to be the Luna and Queen of my packs."Everyone applauded when Adrian placed the crown on Natalia's head.Natalia gave Adrian a smile. He wore a black robe embroidered with spells designed by the coven of the Black Haw pack. They sent it as a present to embrace their new head Alpha.Natalia lifted her white gown and descended from the stage, clutching Adrian's arm.It reminded her of her wedding day.Hazel and Jason came toward them and hugged each other."Where is John?" Natalia asked about their child.They pointed to Jade, who was holding their child, while Grace stood next to her, holding Natalia and Adrian's child, Adelia.The two women appeared to be the happiest women in the world today."Alpha Adrian, Luna Natalia,"They turned around after hearing a familiar voice.It was Alpha Wade. Beside him was Tyra, Eric's mate. During their conversation, Alpha Wade said,"I am planning to marry Tyra off soon."Nata
Days passed as the delivery date of Natalia's child was coming.Things had changed in Natalia's life in the last few months.Everyone was doting on her. The person who cared for her the most was her husband.Adrian always came home early to spend time with Natalia and his children. He said he wanted to give most of his time to Natalia during her pregnancy period.Natalia had noticed Adrian's growing impatience to see his baby in recent months. His face was always lit up with excitement.She used to have this dream when she was pregnant a few years ago.Adrian never allowed her to do any work. He was always curious about her preferences for food and activities. He even canceled his meetings whenever she felt sick. When she was down, he always surprised her with a gift to lift her spirits.He did not pass up any opportunity to spoil her. In fact, her own family claimed Adrian had spoiled her too much.She felt as if everything was a dream, and she wanted to stay in it forever."Adrian,
Everyone returned to the pack house.Natalia was lying in bed. The private doctor was checking on her."You are lucky the baby is fine," she said."Thank you, doctor. Please check on Hazel too," Natalia said to her.The doctor gave her a nod and then left the room.Natalia looked at the people who entered the room after the doctor left.Martin Hansley and Jade Hansley hugged their daughter. Meanwhile, Lucas Miller and Grace Miller lowered their heads.Natalia smiled at them, saying, "Mom, Dad."They looked at her with apologies."Forgive us, dear," Lucas said as he approached the bed.Grace hugged Natalia and said sorry to her for everything they had done in the past few days."It was not your fault. You all were influenced. I should be sorry for losing my temper and saying those rubbish things."They shook their heads and said they would never have a daughter-in-law like her. She was more like a daughter to them.“How is everyone?”“Doctor Max treated them. Benjamin was in critical c
Natalia was astounded by what she witnessed. Then she realized that the man was old Leighton's twin brother."Natalia"She heard her mother's voice. She turned her and found her and Adrian's parents. She noticed her mother-in-law also looked worried for her.She limped, trying to walk toward them.At that time a witch ran toward her, but a wolf came between and bit the witch's leg, slamming her to the ground.Natalia realized Eric was the one who saved her. She smiled at him. He gave her a nod before sprinting back toward Jason.Today, the three men in her life who once loved her are protecting her.Natalia realized that no matter how powerful you are, there will come a time when everyone needs each other.She went to her mother and hugged her. Her mother-in-law, Grace, shed tears as she also hugged her.Denis Leighton stepped toward Adrian and bowed to him."Alpha"Natalia was stunned to see the old man lowering his head toward Adrian.Adrian released Ansel's neck and took a step bac
Max was standing behind Natalia. He patted Natalia's shoulder and wrapped his arm around her. "Perfect shot."Adrian noticed how securely Max was holding Natalia. His eyes turned pale as he remembered Natalia's words.If she had been with Max, she would have been happy. Getting married to him again ruined her life.Adrian turned around and saw Ansel's arm. It was pierced by a digger rather than a simple knife.He recalled it and realized it was the dagger marked on the back of Natalia's neck. She was a healer who could kill anyone with her dagger, which was filled with her poisonous blood.He did not know about its ability toward the witches or wizards, but she had killed Doctor Harold with that knife. After that, she never touched it again."Thanks, Max," Natalia said to Max.When she called Max yesterday, he asked for help. She asked for the tonics that could help wolves and the dagger, which she used when she needed it. Max arrived at the right time to help her.The fire went out,
Everyone was staring at Adrian, who was mercilessly beating Rick. They could not believe that he had recalled everything.Natalia was surprised as well. Did that mean he remembered everything? Every moment in their lives that they had spent together?"No! No! No! Stop him!"Ansel yelled at her people. They rushed to Adrian, but he growled at them, which caused them to stop in their place, frozen.As the only one who dared to approach Adrian, the old Leighton's eyes turned glowing green.He raised his hand and chanted something, prompting Adrian to stop beating Rick.The old Leighton was giving Adrian mental pain. He grabbed his forehead and groaned angrily.The sound of his groan reverberated throughout the entire forest."Leave him. Don't hurt her," Natalia said to the old man.Jason and Patric told their men to attack the wizards and witches. Because their Alpha was present, they would have to choose between giving their lives or taking the lives of others.Natalia closed her eyes a
Natalia's tears, which she had been holding back until now, fell on her cheeks.Adrian's gaze locked on hers. They were dark but familiar to her. His jaw was clenched as if he were trying not to groan in pain.When his body moved, she came back to reality and gasped."Ad-Adrian! What are you—"Adrian pushed her head back, covering her gaze so she could not look at anything."Sshh"His thumb caressed her cheek while pressing her head against his bare chest as if he did not feel anything.Natalia could feel the heat of the flame whenever the whip touched his back."Don't... Don't hit him!"She exclaimed, crying, but Rick did not stop."Look, who has come to protect his wife? The man who can not shift, who can not protect himself, how can he protect his wife?"Rick's mocking made the witches and wizards laugh. Everyone was aware of Adrian's condition. He had become a puppet of Ansel.Rick continued to whip Adrian's back. As the flaming whip continued to strike him on his back, his skin b
