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
I stared at him with displeasure. This man had nothing to do in his life except mocking me. There were so many women in every pack who had ex-husbands, but their situation was not like mine. It was because my ex-husband was the head Alpha of another pack. Since I was an Alpha's daughter, I had to run into him in different situations and occasions.Adrian did not break eye contact. I could not read his eyes, just like I was never able to read many years ago. Why was he so unpredictable? What was his motive? To what extent would he be willing to destroy me and my pack simply because I had damaged his ego?"Natalia?"The voice of Eric could be heard coming from behind Adrian. After moving away from me, Adrian turned his attention to Eric.Eric gazed at him and then at me. "What are you doing here? Everyone is waiting outside for you."Adrian scoffed at him. "Can't you see two CEOs talking? How can you interrupt us? Where are your manners, Beta Eric?""One of the CEOs isn't worth talking
Adrian's POVI had to spend the whole day in a meeting with Alpha Wade. There was a discussion that was held in the meeting room. We had signed the papers to seal the deal.Alpha Wade was happy with the project. People believed that I had gotten the deal. However, the reality was that Alpha Wade was the one who ended up getting the deal from me. I allowed him to take the opportunity to save his pack from any wars by proving my pack fighters to his pack if they would get in danger."Thank you so much, Alpha Adrian. It's a great opportunity to work with you. I hope you will take care of my younger brother.""Sure," I replied, glancing at Alpha Seth. He looked calm and calculative. Though he was older than me, he was younger than my experience.When the meeting was over, Alpha Wade invited me to the success party."I don't want to attend the party," I told Alpha Wade directly.I was not in the mood to attend any party. This project could be a dream for many packs but not for me. So, I di
My phone began to vibrate within my pocket as soon as I walked into the hotel entrance. For the past few hours, I hadn't paid any attention to it.After a brief glance, I noted that Beta Eric was having a conversation with one of their managers in the lobby area. He did not notice me at all. After getting into the elevator, I made my way to my room at the hotel.I was staying in the same hotel where the people from Blue Blood Pack were staying. They were not aware of it.When I entered the room, my eyes were drawn to a man who was sitting on the couch and making a phone call.The man rose up and turned his attention to me."Adrian, where were you?""Why are you in my room, Patric?" I asked, walking to the closet."Bro, are you even serious? This is not our pack. You are a head Alpha. What if someone attacks you? I was losing shit just because of you."I turned my head at him. “Your Alpha is able to fight off any assault that comes his way. Don't freak out.”I retrieved a suit from the
I tightened my fists after hearing him. I wanted to kill this man right here.'How dare he think something like that?'Just before I could raise my hand on him, someone grabbed my fist and said,"Alpha, I was looking for you.""Not you again." I glared at Patric as I said it.Did he keep a watchful eye on me everywhere? How could he come to stop me in every situation?"I am your beta. I know how to take care of my Alpha," he said to me in a hushed tone, turning to Beta Eric."Hello, Beta Eric."They shook hands with each other like professional men. I kept glaring at Patric when he excused Eric."How dare you come between me and that deviant man?""Deviant man? Have you gone crazy? Thank me later for stopping you earlier. You almost killed him. Do you think he will stay alive if you claw him?"I looked away from him and shifted my gaze to Eric, who walked to Natalia."How can she even choose someone like him?""Then who should she choose? You?"I grimaced at Patric. He was talking too
Natalia's POVI was baffled by Adrian's question. I looked into his eyes and noticed rage. There was a turmoil of reaction that could be seen in his behavior."What do you mean?" I asked him.He tried to move toward me, but I pushed my hand against his chest and prevented him from approaching me."Don't come near me. I am feeling disgusted."His body froze as he let out a low growl. "Disgusted by what?""By you."I observed that his jaw was tightening, as if he was trying to keep his wrath under control."What do you want, Adrian? Why do you keep bothering me? Didn't we talk with each other on the phone last time? You said you hated me, and I accepted it. In fact, our feelings are mutual. Now let me go." I tried to talk to him calmly.However, he did not like my words. He grabbed my hand and moved it away from his chest.I used the other hand to make an attempt to shove him. Therefore, he grabbed that hand as well and pinned both of my hands over my head.My eyes widened because of hi
Adrian left, leaving me in shock. I touched my neck and rubbed my finger over the skin, which turned swollen.I rushed to the door close to where I was standing. I opened the door and saw that it was a private room. I dashed over to the bathroom attached to it.The moment my eyes fell on my neck in the mirror, I gasped and covered my mouth in shock.Indeed, there was a hickey on my neck!"Adrian Miller, you're just a scoundrel," I muttered while looking at the hickey."How will I conceal it? How? My bag is not with me. I can't go outside like this."I pulled my hair in anger. I was getting so angry at him that I wanted to break the mirror in anger.I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. Even if I thought about a solution, I could not find it. I was wearing a sleeveless and backless dress. There was no way to hide my neck.I placed my hands on the counter of the sink and cursed Adrian Miller."Who knows what got over him? Why does he look so strange? Since yesterday, he has sta
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
