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
Adrian's POV"Adrian, should we cancel the pack meeting?" Beta Patric asked me.I stared at the folder lying in front of me over the desk.It had been a few months since I was losing projects over the Blue Blood Pack. I had no idea what was wrong with my pack company. My employees had been working almost all day. I was angry that their hard work was going in vain.I won every project in the pack meetings, but when it was about competing against the Blue Blood Pack, my company lost it.There were rumors that a new CEO had taken over the Blue Blood Pack's company. The CEO was a female and the lost daughter of Alpha Martin.He did not give the company to his son, Alpha Jason; instead, he handed it to his newly-found daughter, Jessica Martin.I could not believe that a woman grabbed all of my projects after coming in just a few months. I could not deny that she had the potential to work in the business world.However, it was like she was after my pack. She always chose the projects that I
The whole week I spent thinking about whether to go to that party or not.I wanted to reject the invitation, but every time I thought about that pack, Natalia's face was reflected in my mind.My father told me to go to that party. From my point of view, it was great news that Alpha Martin's daughter was still alive and becoming successful, just like his son.For a moment, I also felt that I had to see the woman who was after my pack. I hated her brother, and I felt that her brother was the one who provoked her against me in business."What if we get to see her at that party?" My wolf asked me about Natalia.I scoffed at his question. Who would believe that such a powerful wolf was head over heels for his mate? He was a stupid wolf who always nudged me to look for Natalia."Why do you like that woman so much? She is characterless. She doesn't deserve you." I reminded him while wearing a black coat over a white shirt.I was getting ready to go to the Blue Blood Pack. I wanted to go to t
"She is also here!" Patric said, looking at Natalia.I could not pay attention to his words as my eyes were on Natalia.I saw her talking with a young woman who was standing next to her.A few men walked to Natalia and shook hands with her. I did not like how they were looking at her. But she looked cold towards them as if she were the boss and they were ordinary employees."Oh, yes. How can I forget Beta Eric? Natalia is his fiancee. That's why she is here."I heard Patric murmur. My gaze immediately shifted to the man who was walking toward Natalia."Beta Eric," I muttered under my breath.My gaze was fixed on him. He approached Natalia, and they exchanged smiles with each other. She was not this soft with other men a few minutes ago."Adrian,"I heard someone call out my name loudly, which grabbed everyone's attention at the party.I turned my head in the direction from which that voice was coming. I saw Lynda waving at me.She had a bright smile on her face as she walked toward me
Natalia's POVI was talking with one of my board members when Adrian scoffed after hearing my reply. The man beside me wanted to tell him something, but I stopped him and told him to leave.I then turned to Adrian and looked at him."So what were you saying?" I asked him.I was surprised that this man came to my brother's party. I did not expect him to come. He was so arrogant that he only attended the meetings of the council. Other packs and their celebrations did not matter to him at all.Adrian placed the glass on the bar counter loudly, which could flinch anyone but me.I stared into his eyes. They were full of hatred for me, which I wanted to enjoy."That was your new target, wasn't it?"I raised my brows and asked,"What?""At first Eric, then his Alpha Jason, now that man. How many ladders did you have to climb to reach this far?"His question astounded me. But I did not get angry at him.Instead of giving him a mad reply, I smiled at him mockingly and turned to look in Lynda's
Addian's POVWhen everyone was congregating near the stage, Patric asked me to go there. When I was on my way there, Lynda came up to me, and we headed there together.Since it was time for the announcement, people were excited to see the Blue Blood Pack's princess.I almost forgot about her because my mind was on Natalia. I shook her thoughts away from my mind and tried to focus on the stage.However, when Alpha Martin called her daughter on the stage, my mind completely shook.I narrowed my eyes while looking at the stage. How could that even be possible?Was I dreaming? Was I hallucinating Natalia in another woman's place?I looked away from her and shook my head. I thought I drank a lot; that was why I was still thinking about Natalia.But when Alpha Martin spoke out again, my heart froze."Here is my daughter, Jessica, but I would like for you all to refer to her as Natalia Martin. My daughter likes that name, so I changed it for her."I slowly turned my head to the stage once ag
Natalia's POVI saw my brother warn Adrian. He was staring at Jason with an indifferent face.My brother was right. He was a shameless man. He still had the audacity to come in front of me and my brother after learning the truth.It was his fortune that I did not say much to my brother about his nonsense accusations. Otherwise, my brother would have attacked him at this party.Jason and Adrian were staring at each other as if they had been enemies for years. I glanced at other Alphas. Some of them look frightened by the two Alphas stare. But some of them were busy examining me.I shook my head and held Jason's arm."Brother, I think Dad is calling us. Let's go there."Jason understood what I was trying to do. He nodded his head as he also did not want to create a scene in front of others.Nevertheless, his eyes shone with a blaze of vengeance toward Adrian.I was afraid that Adrian would bring up my children in the conversation in front of others. I thought Adrian would say something
His question made me scowl at him. When he saw I was not responding to him, he asked,"Why did yo-""Because you don't deserve to know." I cut him off and replied to him coldly.After hearing my reply, he was silent for a brief moment."What happened, Alpha Adrian? Your mouth always runs so fast. But why are you so quiet today? Perhaps a cat caught your tongue."I mocked him exactly the same way he used to mock me.I looked into his eyes. I could not see the hatred he always tried to show me. Rather than being hostile, there was stillness inside them."Shocked that I am actually an Alpha's daughter?" I asked sarcastically.He nodded his head and muttered, "Very."I snatched my hand away from him and withdrew a step."Since you know who I am, I hope you will not bother me again."I wanted to go back to the party, so I stepped aside to leave.However, Adrian once again grabbed my hand, but this time, instead of drawing me closer, he turned around and pressed me against the wall that he
