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 turned to me and gazed at my perplexed look."It was Adrian who kidnapped her, wasn't he?"I was shocked. He knew the truth!"Brother, how do you know?""What do you think about me? I am your head Alpha. I can sense who can do what. Now tell me, why did he do that?"I lowered my head as I mumbled, "He wanted to know the truth.""Bastard! What did you say to him?"I was silent. I did not want to say that from my mouth to him. He was my big brother. What I said to Adrian was so embarrassing that I would never say it to anyone else."She said their father was dead." Eric replied to Jason instead of me."And? Did he not want to learn about identity?""She said it was a one-night thing, and she did not know much about him."Jason was quiet for some time and then sighed."You did a foolish thing, Natalia."I lifted my head to look at Jason. "B-But brother, I had no other option left but to make an excuse."Jason gave me a disappointed look. "He is no longer Adrian, who used to be your
