"What did you just say?"Patric's brows shot up as he asked,"Weren't you drunk a while ago?""That doesn't mean I can't pick up your words."As Patric took a sip of his drink, he pointed at someone. When I turned my head, I noticed a woman offering me a seductive grin. This time, I saw her clearly.Indeed, she was not Natalia.As soon as she waved at me, I gave her a stern look. The fear that she was experiencing caused her to look away from me and shift her attention to another person immediately.Being irritated, I shifted my stool so that it was facing the counter. I rested my head on the counter to ease my mind a little."Adrian, can you listen to me?" Patric asked."Bro, why can't you just leave me? Why are you here? To disturb me? Go back to your work.""Do you even know what the time is right now? It's late at night. You had been drinking for who knows how long."I did not reply to him and remained quiet for some time."Those children are not yours. You should stay away from t
Natalia's POVI did not want to listen to Adrian anymore, so I cut the call.The moment I removed the phone from my ear, I felt my knees shaking. I grabbed the wall close to me to take support from it and keep myself from falling."He tested DNA?"I almost did not believe him. How could it be possible? How could it come out as negative?"He must be lying to me. He gets to know the truth. Now, what will I do?" I mumbled like a crazy woman while pulling my hair.I had no idea that Adrian would do that. I thought he believed my lies. Then how did it come to his mind?I left my bedroom and made my way to my children's room. When I reached there, I saw Noah and Aria playing together."Noah, can you go play with your grandma? I want to talk to your sister about something.""Mommy, I want to hear that too," Noah urged as he rushed to me and held my hand.I crouched down and caressed his hair. "My baby, please listen to your mommy."As if he could see how distressed her mother was looking, he
All of my worry lessened. I made sure that Jason and Eric were able to hear him by placing the phone on the loudspeaker."How did you change it?" I asked Harold.Harold started to tell me about that day."He is our head Alpha for a reason. He was aware of the fact that I was connected to you in some way, so he chose not to inform me about it. He managed another doctor who was not under me. But it was not easy to learn about it. All thanks to Lynda."My brows wrinkled in shock. "Lynda? How?""She was the one who called me the day when Alpha returned to the Crystal Blood pack. She inquired about a report, but I was unable to give an answer to her question. It was impossible for me to understand what report Alpha and Beta were talking about. However, Lynda herself came to the hospital with Alpha's parents today. She found the report, but I don't know how. But he asked for my help. She cried to me and said that she did not want to lose Adrian. So I told her I would help her. But in realit
"Another pack? Which pack?" I asked, standing up from my chair.Eric sighed in disappointment. "You know that I have a friend in that pack. But he is only able to provide me with information regarding the competition. It is forbidden for him to reveal anything much. The news that he spreads has the ability to sway others and convince anyone to make any threat to leave the place in order to win."It seemed clear to me what he was trying to convey. He had a friend who was trustworthy and did not disclose the personal details of other people."It's okay, Eric. I believe in our project."He gave me a slight nod in response.We left my cabin together as it was time to return to the pack house.I was very thankful to Eric for helping me. Not only was he working as my brother's beta, but he was also providing assistance to me in this pack company.Aside from expressing my gratitude to him, I had nothing else to offer him. I wished that he would find his soul mate as soon as possible so that
I stared at the card for a long time. I had no idea who sent it to me.It was an open challenge for me. I clutched the card and threw it in the dustbin."I have seen many Alphas having problems with women who are standing beside them neck to neck. This warning is nothing to me."I got back to the bed and closed my eyes to sleep.When I opened my eyes, it was already morning. I yawned and glanced outside the window."A new day, a new challenge," I said to myself as I got down from the bed.I opened my luggage and took out a dress.I took a shower and put on the dress. As I came out of the bathroom, my eyes drew to the red roses that were next to the bed.I recalled the card and what was written inside. I shrugged my shoulders to ignore it, and I wiped my hair with a towel.I looked at myself in the mirror. I put on light makeup and dried my hair. After getting ready to leave the room, I called Damia. She said she was also ready, and she informed everyone to gather up in the lobby area.
Because I was not afraid to look at anyone, I did not move my eyes from the entrance of the hall. I saw the most awaited Alpha entering the hall with his dominant aura. He was in a gray suit, and his hair was brushed back nicely, giving him an elegant look."I must say. Alpha Adrian is not only powerful in ruling his pack but also with his looks," another Alpha said.I looked away from Adrian and rolled my eyes in my head.'He only has the good looks on which I lost my heart many years ago. Other than that, he is good for nothing. It's good that I've realized it sooner and ran away from this beastly man.' I thought and sighed.I saw Eric looking at me. "What?"He shook his head and averted his gaze from me.What had happened to him suddenly? He was okay a while ago.I assumed he hated Adrian, so his mood turned gloomy. Who would not hate that man?When I turned my attention back to the Alphas, who I was talking with, I saw a fear in their eyes. It was because of Adrian.There was no d
I could not understand what Adrian was trying to say. I glanced at Eric to see if he had gotten the meaning.I noticed Eric's eyes had darkened. I cleared my throat and said,"Alpha Wade, please excuse us."He gave me a nod when he noticed that the atmosphere was becoming more heated as a result of the two men making dark eye contact with one another.I locked my arm with Eric and tugged him to the other side. While walking past Adrian, I glanced at him. He gazed at me and gave me a look. I could not understand what was going on in his cunning brain.What did he mean by assistance and possession? Did he mean about my brother's throne? Eric was like our family. He would never betray my brother. So Adrian should not be concerned about my pack, which belonged to my brother. He should think about his own pack."This man is getting on my nerves," Eric muttered, tightening his fist.I lifted his hand and patted over it. "Calm down. He did that intentionally. If you react to what he wants, i
"Bullshit!"Eric muttered in anger. His jaw clenched as he watched Adrian get on the stage.Alpha Seth went to greet him while shaking hands with him."I can't believe this! How can this even be possible, boss?" Damia asked me in a disappointing tone.All of my company managers lowered their heads. I saw defeat in their eyes, which boiled my blood."Alpha Adrian, please say something," the beta of the Storm Forest Pack said to him.At that time, Alpha Wade handed Adrian a bouquet of different flowers to congratulate him.My eyes widened as something reflected in my mind. When I shifted my gaze from the bouquet to Adrin, I noticed him smirking at me.I just wanted to smack on his nasty smirk.That time, I realized that he was the person who sent me the bouquet of red roses last night.Adrian looked away from me and started to speak."Good evening, everyone. I, Alpha Adrian, never forget my pledges to my pack. When I became the head Alpha of my pack, my father asked me to keep all the a
