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
I was at a loss to understand whether or not I should believe this little child's words. It seemed to me that she was not aware of the truth. On the other hand, how could Natalia even hide the truth from her children? How was it possible for Eric not to call his children his own? Exactly what kind of man he was?After heaving a sigh, I shook my head. "Didn't Eric go to your parents' meeting?"As a response, she gave me a slight nod. "But that was because Mommy had an exam that day. Uncle Eric told her not to worry, and he then accompanied us.""She had an exam? She is studying?""Mommy has just finished her studies. Don't you know that?"I was not aware of it. Did Natalia continue her studies? She had even completed her graduation?It was then that I recalled how she had given up her schooling in order to marry me. At that time, her adoptive father told me that she had decided not to continue her education. I thought she was not a good student, so I did not ask her about it.While I w
Natalia's POV"It's nothing to do with you, Adrian. Just let go my daugh-"Adrian cut the call, which made my blood boil in anger. I removed my phone from my ear and stared at the phone screen for a while.A few minutes ago, when Beta Patric called me to inform me about Aria, I was feeling relieved that I had finally found her. Until then, I was trying to search for her like a crazy woman who had lost the reason to live.However, when I realized that Aria was with Adrian, another fear evolved within me. I had no idea what I would do.How could Adrian be so cruel? He kidnapped a little child!"What did he say?" I heard Eric as he put his hand on my shoulder.I turned to him and shook my head."That man said he wanted to know about their father. I think he has learned something for sure."Eric's brows shot up. "What does he know?""I don't know, Eric. He said he would send me an address. But he can't let me take my daughter away until I tell him the truth. How will I?"I pulled my hair
I immediately rushed out of the pack house. While I was leaving, my parents asked me where I was going."I am going to get Aria back," I replied to them.Jason was not at home, but I informed him of what I told my parents. I did not want him to remain in distress. "Let's go," Eric said, opening his car door for me.I stopped in front of his car. I did not want to take him with me. Adrian once doubted my children were Eric's. I could not do anything to make him mad and hurt Aria."I want to go alone.""No, I can't let you go alone to that man." Eric replied, giving me an angry look."I will make an excuse. Don't worry, Eric.""No. I can't trust that man. You didn't tell Jason about it. But if he gets to know about it, he will never forgive me for letting you go to that man."I tried to request him, but it all went in vain. He was stubborn about going with me.I felt defeated and got in his car. He started to drive, and I lost myself in my thoughts.I remembered my other baby. He was f
Adrian's POVAfter listening to Natalia's reply, I grimaced at her."Dead? How?" I questioned her as I moved closer to her.She did not move, which demonstrated to me that she was unaffected by the fact that I was getting closer to her.It did not appear that the woman in front of me was broken. She was not the woman who always talked to me while stuttering, but a strong woman who was not afraid of me."You don't have to know about him."At that moment, I moved nearer to her by taking one step closer. Her eyes were piercing my heart, which I could not find the reason for.How could she stand so proudly in front of me after doing all those things?"You have to answer before going. Because my mercy is not for everyone."I tried to scare her so that she would reveal all the truth that she had been hiding inside her.She glanced at the room where Aria had just gone. I could see that she was afraid of her daughter's life.But she did not know that I would never think of hurting that girl.
Natalia's POVWhen we returned to the pack house, my parents pulled Aria into their embrace. They were afraid of losing her. At this age, Noah and Aria were their favorite companions."I'm okay, Grandpa. Don't worry, Grandma."Like a sensible child, Aria assured them that she was fine.I noticed Noah standing in a corner. His eyes were on Aria, but he did not go close to her. He looked like he was upset.Was he feeling guilty? Was he blaming himself for everything?I walked to Noah when everyone was busy with Aria.I crouched down in front of him and patted his shoulder. He lowered his head."What happened to you, my big boy? Why do you look upset? Don't you want to see your little sister?" I asked him.He was a few minutes older than Aria. So I told him that he was her big brother and that he would always have to protect his sister."I'm sorry, Mom. I could not protect Aria," he mumbled with his pouty lips.I caressed his hair, and he lifted his head to look at me.His eyes were tear
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
As if the sky had fallen over Natalia, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. The shock caused her eyes to widen.What was he saying?She tried to comprehend what she was experiencing on the inside by blinking her eyes back and forth. It was almost impossible to bear the pain of the heartache."What are you saying?" she mumbled.Jason was just as surprised as everyone else when he heard Adrian.But the next moment he rushed up to Adrian and punched his cheek.“You fucker! Do you have any idea what you are saying?” Jason let out a roar.The punch caused Adrian's face to turn. A gush of blood started to come out of the left corner of his lips. He touched his lips with his thumb and looked at it.His eyes turned brown for a moment, which Jason did not notice. Because he was so enraged, he had every intention of punching him once more.“Adrian!”Grace Miller screamed in fear when Jason was about to punch her son again.However, Adrian grabbed his wrist and glared at him."Don't forget you ar
Everyone turned their heads to see Adrian in the left corner."Dad"Aria and Noah mumbled. Adrian looked at them. When Adrian's eyes met theirs, they hid behind Jason."Go back to your room," Adrian said to them.They let go of Jason and dashed up the stairs to obey his command.Natalia was so focused on him that she missed her children's expressions. He was dressed in a gray suit. A bandage was wrapped around his forehead. He looked good with his bangs falling on his forehead and hiding the bandage.He rarely covered his forehead with hair. This was a new look that suited him perfectly.Nevertheless, Natalia could not ignore his words over his looks. She was worried for him; at the same time, she was perplexed.The accident injured him. Her gaze moved to his hands. She could see that his right sleeves were slightly bulged in the arm area. She was certain there was a bandage. His fingers looked fine, but there were a few scratches."What do you mean she is going to stay here forever?"
Hazel's green eyes, which glowed for a brief moment, left Natalia bewildered as she observed them. She then turned to her brother, who appeared to be in a state of shock upon seeing Hazel.After rising from the couch, Natalia turned her attention to her brother."Brother, do you know her?"Jason's eyes were fixed on Hazel. His lips parted as if he was going to reply.At that moment, Hazel cleared her throat and looked away from Jason."N-No. We don't know each other."There was a frown on Natalia's face. Why did she reply? Did she ask her or her brother?Jason's finger turned into a fist, moving down to his side. His confused-looking face turned calm as he muttered,"Isn't she the princess of the Black Hawk Pack?"Hazel's gaze returned to him. They looked at each other. Natalia's confusion got even worse. Nevertheless, she recalled that her brother had been providing support for Hazel's pack for some time, which made it possible that he was familiar with Hazel."S-She..."Grace Miller
The blush spread across Natalia's face as she nodded her head. "Yeah, brother."The confirmation of the news caused Jason's eyes to sparkle. His hand reached into his pocket, and he took out his phone."What are you doing?""I am calling Mom and Dad. They will be very pleased."She quickly shook her head and said,"Don't."Jason frowned at her and removed his phone from his ear. "But why?"She lowered her head, rubbing her palm with her fingers. She was entirely at a loss for words when it came to explaining anything to her brother."Adrian doesn't know about it yet."It seemed as though Jason was taken aback. "What?""Yes, brother."“But he should have known before anyone else. He is your mate. He can sense that.”Natalia had no idea why Adrian did not know this by himself. She was in a daze. Her brother gently patted her on the shoulder."It's okay. Tell him today. Let's go to the pack house to let others know."Natalia thought silently for a long time. In the end, she came to the c
Natalia turned her head only to see her brother rushing over her."Natalia! What happened to you!"Natalia put the phone on the bed, not getting the chance to talk to her children. She tried to sit up. Jason held her waist, helping her to sit properly. He put a pillow behind her, and she rested her back on it.After taking a look at the brother and sister, Benjamin then said,"I am going out for a while."Although Natalia gave a slight nod, Jason frowned and turned his attention to him.“Where the fuck is the Miller family? My sister is in the hospital bed. Why is it that none of them are here?”Benjamin lowered his head and replied,"They are quite busy today. Tonight, there will be a few guests coming to pay a visit to the pack.”Natalia was confused upon hearing him. "Guests? Who?"Benjamin glanced at Natalia and then shifted his gaze to Jason. The expression on Natalia's face changed as Benjamin's mind connected with her and said,"Let's talk about it later."Natalia came to the c
"He is what?" Natalia asked.She could wait a thousand years to find out where her husband is. She needed to meet him, she wanted to see him. She wanted to know if he was alright. She kept trying to get through the door with her exhausted body."He is fine, Luna."Natalia paused her movements and turned to look at Benjamin.She looked at him carefully to see if he was telling the truth or just keeping her calm. His eyes were clear, indicating that he was not lying."Where is he?" she inquired."He left the hospital about an hour ago."Natalia was stunned. She blinked, trying to remember whether what she had seen in the car was real or an illusion."Was he okay? How were his wounds?""He got a wound on his head. But aside from that, he is fine."Natalia did not ask why Adrian had not come to see her or waited for her to wake up.Benjamin helped her in reaching the bed by holding her hand and guiding her forward. He sat her down and poured a glass of water.After handing the glass to he
The fear that she felt was the same fear that she had felt when she returned to this pack a year ago. It was Lynda who made up that car accident. The person who saved her from that accident was Adrian. She remembered how he put his own life in danger to save her.Then how could he not be able to control himself at this moment and drive the car in such a way that resulted in an accident?Fearing that she would die, she closed her eyes. In the middle of the street, the car was whirling around. Her body pressed against the door and her head began to spin around.On the other hand, everything came to a halt in an instant as her body jerked on the seat.She heard a loud noise in her head, like a siren ringing around the walls of her mind.The car hit on something and Natalia felt that she would fall from the car.After what seemed like an eternity, Natalia tried to feel any pain. Her hand was clutching her stomach.She opened her eyes to check if she was still alive.She blinked, but every
She noticed him get into the driver's seat. "Are we going somewhere? We have to go to the pack house. We have to get there before him," she said, glancing at his brown eyes.He listened to her but did not respond.He appeared to be in a rage.After shifting gears, he slammed on the accelerator and started the car.The car got out of the area of his house in a few seconds.Natalia’s heartbeat started to race as she watched how fast the landscape moved before her eyes.“Drive slowly,” she uttered.He paid no attention to what she had to say and continued driving in the opposite direction.She frowned when she noticed it and said,“That's not the way of going to the pack house. Where are you going?”He drove the car while remaining silent. A furrow appeared to form between his brows as if he was becoming irritated by her question.She shut her mouth and decided to silently watch him driving the car. She was eager to find out where he was going to take her.It was his clean forehead that
