Third POV"What did you just say? L-Love her?" Lynda mumbled as she took another step back.She could not believe Adrian had admitted that he loved Natalia.Lynda had tried for years to keep Adrian from even thinking about that woman, so how could he suddenly say he loved her?She shook her head and dashed toward Adrian.She grabbed his collar and drew him down to her height."Tell me you lied to me. You love me, not her. Tell me you are just kidding with me. Did I do something wrong? Have I ever stopped you from doing something?"Adrian fixed his eyes on Lynda. His frown faded as he examined her pale look.He grabbed her hands and pulled them away from his collar. He stood tall and answered her calmly."I am not lying. It will be better for you if you start a new life, just like I offered you years ago."Her eyes widened in surprise. He reminded her of the night almost six years ago.It was just when Natalia divorced him and ran away from the pack.Lynda thought everything was over. B

Faith Pierce was Natalia's adoptive paternal cousin. She was two years older than Natalia.When Adrian got married to Natalia, his father sent Natalia's whole family money as a matrimonial gift so that they could live a peaceful life. So Faith was living a luxurious life despite the fact that Natalia had divorced Adrian and fled the pack."W-What did I d-do?" she asked with trembling lips.Her legs were shaking as she could not bear the power that was radiating from Adrian. Her heartbeat was beating faster, as if she were in front of her death."What did you do? Recall every single sin you have committed in your life."Adrian released her hair and turned around to his house. "Bring her inside. I have a lot of time tonight to listen to her."The woman came running over to Adrian as he unlocked his house. Even with her hands locked behind her, she collapsed to her knees next to Adrian, brushing her head against his leg."I don't know why you brought me here, but please let me go. I neve

Faith's whole body shook in terror. She immediately bowed her head to the floor while shaking it."No, I don't want to do anything with this old man. Please don't do this to me.""What are you afraid of? He won't eat you alive," Adrian said."Please, Alpha, forgive me. Don't disgrace me like this.""Disgrace? Why is it disgraceful to you? Is that because he is old?" Adrian pretended as if he were unable to comprehend what she was saying.He turned his attention to the old man and saw the terrified expression on his face. Adrian fixed his gaze on his, his jaw tightening. The video clip was brought back to his mind. He recalled how Natalia was looking afraid after meeting this man. She cried and begged this man to let her go, but he did not budge. Instead, he instructed the guards to bring her inside the room.If Natalia had not dared to run from there, this man would have raped her that night.The old man was standing like a statue. Though he got an offer with a large sum of money fro

"Aaahh!"Loud and painful screams of Faith came out of the room. Everyone in the living room was completely silent.Adrian was seated on the couch. As he was drinking, his face was expressionless.However, his eyes only get darker with each scream. The guards, who were standing in the room, kept glancing at him.Adrian gulped the drink while thinking that if that day he had not grabbed Natalia and dragged her into his room, that old man would have done this to her or maybe more than what he was doing to Faith.He was only getting angry.After a while, the screams stopped.Patric glanced at the clock and laughed. "That's the end? That oldie really had no juice left inside him. But at this age, he still desires to touch young bodies."Gamma Benjamin looked at Patric and asked,"What about that bitch? She screamed like she was a pure virgin, as if she had never slept with rich men for money."Delta Julian and Theta Emon exchanged glances. They turned to Benjamin. Theta Emon could not hel

Natalia's POVIt had been two days since I had last seen Max. I had been considering my choice for the past two days. I had to get somewhere today. I could not hang anyone anymore.I had spent a lot of time thinking about it. Eric's suggestion also crossed my mind.I realized that I needed to take a step forward in life. How long would I live like a woman who had no one to be with?Max was not wrong when he asked for a chance from me. Though his way of asking was not right, his intention towards me was clear.It was noon, and I was working at the Moon Lovers Coffee Shop."Are you going somewhere?" One of the waitresses asked me.It was break time for lunch. So, the 'closed' tag was pulled outside the door. Every employee was seated at the tables to eat their lunch."Yeah. I need to catch up with a friend," I replied to the waitresses.Laiana did not come to the coffee shop today. She went to visit her family and would return after one week.Before leaving, she delegated responsibility
