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
While I was making my way back to the party, I tried to look for my parents. I wanted to go back to the pack house. Because I had lost my appetite, I did not want to wait until dinner. Talking with Adrian was enough for me to lose my mindset.If he wondered how I heard about his parents liking Lynda, it was because his mother called me a few months ago, after his father was back to full health, that I learned that his parents started to like Lynda. To express her gratitude, his mother gave me a call. At that time, she informed me that they were trying to accept the decision that their son had made and wished me a good life.I understood her thoughts. They only had one child. He was someone they did not want to lose. That is the reason why they were making an effort to be content with what he desired.My eyes fell on my parents, who were talking with someone. I strode to them and realized that it was Lynda who was with them."Your pack is very beautiful, and your pack members are kind
Adrian's POVAfter leaving the party in a bad mood, I got into my car."Start the car," I ordered my driver right away.Without wasting a second, he started the car.My phone began to ring. I glanced at my phone and noticed Patric calling me.I ignored his call and looked outside the window. I was trying to calm myself.'How dare her father and brother keep warning me? What about their daughter's debauchery?' I thought as I tightened my fists.That time on the terrace when Natalia told me to marry Lynda, I was stunned. That woman did not care about it at all.How easily she was talking about it as if I were a stranger to her!Then why did I get mad when I saw her without a man?Why did I even care?I decided not to care about her anymore. That woman should live her life with her children and their father.My phone continued to ring. It stopped and then again began to ring. I saw it was Lynda.I switched off my phone in anger. I did not want to talk to anyone right now."Alpha, where t
Taking a deep breath, Hazel knew she had to tell them everything."That witch's powers were imprisoned with ash in a jar, and the door had been locked for years. My sister-in-law, Ansel, is the coven's second highest-ranking witch after that woman. So, all these years, Ansel tried her hardest to break the door and free the powers so that she could take over them.So when Natalia broke the door, the powers were freed, and Ansel possessed them all. Now she is the most powerful witch."Natalia recalled what had happened in that room. She had assumed she would die, but she did not.Hazel stepped toward Natalia and said,"Sister, I am sorry for what happened to you. But I had nothing in my hands. I was not alone. My child was with me. So I had to follow whatever they told me. The only thing I could do was not open the door. Before you opened it, I used to tell them that I had not found the door."Natalia's eyes lowered as she noticed Hazel caressing her own stomach.Natalia's eyes blurred
Natalia was shocked as her eyes widened. She heard something she could not believe."Y-Your child? H-How?" she mumbled.She felt as though the sky had fallen on her. She was not in a state to feel anything. She was confused and puzzled.Jason sighed and looked at her.“I met her in her pack. There was never anything between her and Adrian. The child is mine, and I spent a night with her a few months ago."Natalia shook her head. Her hand slipped away from Jason's hand."That's not possible. She manipulated you, brother. You have never talked about her. And why did she lie when the child is not Adrian's? Why is he even trying to protect her? He himself admitted that that child is his."Hazel looked at Natalia and stepped toward her. Natalia raised a hand, stopping her from approaching her. "Don't. You can manipulate everyone but me. I didn't forget how you warned me to leave Adrian's life."Hazel clenched her jaw and said angrily, "I also warned you about that door. Why did you break i
Natalia was in disbelief. "Do you think I am a fool? You can not just show up and make a fool of me. At first, your Alpha said that Hazel is nothing to him, then he let her stay in the pack house. Later, he claimed that the child she was carrying was not his, and I believed him again. But what about now?"Her questions pierced like daggers toward Patric. He lowered his head in defeat. "I know you have to tolerate a lot.""Tolerate a lot? All of my life, I have been only suffering for your Alpha. He said he wants me to leave this pack."Natalia could not stop herself from telling Patric everything that hurt her heart."He smashed my love in front of my brother. He told him to take me away with him. Can you imagine how well I controlled myself at that time?"She leaned back against her chair, closing her eyes and shaking her head. "It is all because of my children. I am bearing everything just for them."Patric took a deep breath and said, "I came back yesterday. I have collected all of
Natalia was shocked when his lips touched hers.She tried to push him. But Adrian did not let her go.He felt sharp pain in his head as if something was exploding inside. His hands wrapped around her waist, pressing his body against hers.As though he had been longing for it, his rough kiss turned desperate.Natalia became so enraged that she shoved him with her wolf strength.He retrieved a few steps back. Natalia growled at him."How dare you do that?"His brows shot up as if he was confused by his own action. His gaze roamed around the floor until they lifted up to look at her.As if his eyes could change colors, they turned dark brown, and suddenly they flashed red for a moment.She recalled that before the accident he looked like that."Get out of this room right now," she said, glaring at him. She did not want to see him.He did not move as he stared at her with a pair of lost eyes.When she saw he was not moving, she opened the door and walked out of the room.There was no way
Natalia's eyes were on the door. She had seen Hazel leaving the house. For some reason, she guessed who she went after.'What is her relationship with my brother?' she thought."Miss Natalia"She looked away from the door and turned to Alpha Jonas. She smiled at him.This noon, when Adrian sent the necklace to her, she was surprised at first but scoffed after learning his words from Damia.She knew this man could never care for her. He was a devil in disguise who was showing his true colors with passing time.So when Alpha Jonas called her today to ask what she would like to have, she told him that she desired a necklace. She wanted to wear it in front of Adrian to mock him."The more I see you, the more I feel like I have never seen this much beauty," he remarked with a chuckle.Natalia grinned at him and said, "Alpha Jonas is flirting with me. Does his girlfriend know about it?"In a blink of a second, all the color washed away from his face.Natalia noticed this, lifted her hand, a
Adrian tried to think why did Jason make an alliance with them in the first place. What exactly did he want?He was able to see the expressions of shock plastered across the faces of all of the Leightons. They were not expecting this. To them, it was like a blow to the head.Adrian assumed that Jason did that because Natalia wanted it. But Natalia's eyes were hazel all the time. Her eyes kept observing her when her brother was talking to her.Ansel's anger caused his fingers to become more firmly gripped on the jewelry boxes. The old Leighton looked mad at Jason while Rick appeared to be fierce."You will pay for it, Alpha Jason," Ansel said, leaving the room.Her husband and the old Leighton followed her behind as if she were the main member of the family.Jason rolled his eyes. He turned his head to Adrian and said,"You will be next to face something like this."It was a warning.Adrian did not like it when he said that in front of other businessmen.Jason gave Natalia a small smil
Adrian's eyes darkened when Natalia smiled with her red lips and looked in another direction.Adrian's gaze shifted on the way and found Alpha Jonas grinning at Natalia."A beautiful necklace for a precious woman. I have always admired her when she was the CEO of her father's company. She is a pure beauty. It's bad luck that she decided to stay here. But if you want to come with me, I will not take any mistress for my whole life."Adrian glared at the man as he found his words mocking toward him.Jason scoffed at Jonas and said, "She is a stubborn woman. She doesn't listen to anyone. Otherwise, Alpha Adrian is ready to leave her. Isn't it Alpha Adrian?"Jason's gaze met Adrian's like a clash colliding.Hazel was about to say something, but Ansel shook her head at her.Natalia walked toward her brother and let out a chuckle. "Let's focus on the birthday girl. Looks like I took all the limelight away from her."Hazel stared at Natalia. There were some untold words that were conveyed thr
Adrian left the company, neglecting the idea of having lunch with Patric.He got inside the car and told his driver to drive to a restaurant.He was on his way back to the company after lunch when he received a message from Ansel informing him that tonight was Hazel's birthday and that he should give her a present.Adrian's car stopped in front of a jewelry shop. He went inside the shop and told the staff to pack something that would look good on a young woman.A female employee approached him and showed him a few designs. Adrian was not interested in choosing, but his eyes fell on a beautiful necklace.He did not know why, but looking at the necklace, his mind reflected Natalia's face."Pack this one."The female employee smiled at him and packed the necklace. When she was about to hand it to him, he said,"I told you to pick one."The woman was stunned. "Oh, you want another one?"She thought he was going to buy only one necklace. The woman picked the best design and showed it to Ad
When the elevator door opened and they arrived at the first floor, Adrian gave him a stern look and was ready to reprimand him.Adrian exited the elevator first, and Patric followed, intending to go check on Adrian's condition with the pack doctor.At that time, they ran into Benjamin.Adrian took a halt when Benjamin bowed to him.With a pair of cold eyes, Adrian said to him,"I warned you to stay away from that woman. She is not good for our pack."Benjamin lowered his head before glancing at Patric. Patric was staring at him. He exhaled and returned his gaze to Adrian."Alpha, she is my Luna. It is my responsibility to protect her when everyone is against her."Adrian tightened his fists while glaring at Benjamin. Meanwhile, Patric focused his gaze on Adrian. "Didn't you say you don't like her? Why do you care if Benjamin roams around her? You want her to leave this pack anyway."Gamma Benjamin was shocked. He shook his head as he realized Adrian had misunderstood his pure intentio
