"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
Aria hugged my neck tightly in fear. I crossed the road and went back to my car.My driver was shocked by my actions.I got inside the car as Aria was still in my arms. I could not believe how little she was. I was holding her in one arm.Aria did not make any movements. As she leaned her head against my shoulder, she was crying uncontrollably.I patted her back. I did not know what had happened to her or what she was doing in the middle of the road."Alpha, who is this child?" my driver asked me."Stop your fucking mouth. Can't you see she's crying?" I said while glaring at my driver.His eyes widened, and he shifted his gaze to the road. He did not start the car since I had not ordered him yet.After a while, Aria moved her head from my shoulder and looked at me.As a result of her crying, I was able to observe that her eyes were puffy and that her nose was red.I put her in the next seat and asked,"Where is your mom?"She sobbed and replied, "I-I lost mommy.""What? How?"Her eyes
