"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
In a state of worry, I rubbed my forehead."Adrian Miller, I despise you so much," I murmured in a frustrated tone.In order to destroy my reputation, he planned this entire tactic.How could he spread such cheap news in public? Did he not care about his sweetheart? Or did he think she would not get the news?The thought occurred to me, and I couldn't help but smirk. I dialed a number."Hello?" a young woman spoke out."Where is your boss? Give her the phone."When the woman heard me, she was taken aback.“Who are you?”"She knows me."The woman handed her phone to her boss. It was then that I heard the voice of the person that I had been hoping to hear."Who's speaking?""Your shameless boyfriend's ex-wife," I replied with a grin, as if she could see me.Lynda was quiet for a brief moment. I assumed she could not understand how I got her maid's number.That day, when she proved me wrong in front of Adrian and his parents, I inspected the number from which she sent me a message. It wa
