I froze when I heard her. I blinked when I realized what she had meant. She was still smiling at me.I slowly moved my hands away from the window and took a step back.She looked away from me and said to the driver,"Let's go."The driver immediately nodded his head and started the cab.My eyes were glued to Natalia the entire time. Her smile was still on her face. But why was it hurting me?The car began to move. After a few minutes, it faded from my sight. I stared at the way the car had left.I lifted my hand and pressed against my chest. My heart was pounding faster.I balled my fist and curled my fingers around my shirt. I hissed when I felt pain in my chest. It was a wound that I never let my wolf heal. It was a wound I got from her. I wanted to see it every day to remind myself how much she hated me.The sound of a ringtone echoed down the lonely road. I had no wish to pick up the call.My legs moved forward as my eyes could not fix at anything. They were roaming here and there

Grace thought Adrian was talking about Lynda. She reached out her hand and grabbed his hand."I am not comparing her with anyone else. If you like her so much that you can't even hear anything about her, why don't you get back together?"Adrian's eyes were fixed on the sky. His face was calm and indifferent. But his eyes could not hide the emotional turmoil in her heart."I wish I could," he muttered.A smile appeared on Grace's face. She lifted her hand and rubbed his hair. "Don't worry. You will have a lot of chances in the future. Don't miss any of it. Every woman is begging to be with my son anyway. Who will resist you?"Adrian remained silent. Grace patted his shoulder."Get ready fast. Don't you want to see your beautiful kids? They are eager to go to their party."Adrian's eyes moved slightly when he heard about his children. He looked at his mother and gave her a nod.When Grace left the room, Adrian decided to take a shower.After wearing the expensive black suit, Adrian look

Adrian's POVI stared at Natalia. Her appearance was royal. Her stunning, coffee-colored gown hugged her figure. She looked like a mermaid. She did not look pale or like an ordinary woman, but as if her beauty had bloomed, she appeared to be the most beautiful woman in my eyes.I could not take my eyes off of her.I did not conceal the small smile that curled around my lips from anyone.Her lovely eyes were straying until they settled on my kids."I am glad that you invited their mother," my dad said with a happy tone. He still adored Natalia, just like before.My mother did not say anything as her eyes fixed on Natalia.I moved away from my parents and started to take steps in Natalia's direction.Suddenly, my mood changed about remaining at this party. I really wanted to spend a lot of time here now.Just as I was about to approach Natalia, another person entered the pack house.He walked directly toward Natalia and said something in her ear. Natalia turned to him and chuckled, then

I was stunned when Max said that to my children. I meant I would tell them about it later. I wanted to make them comfortable around him at first. But his sudden confession took me aback."What did you just say?" Adrian's angry voice came out like a blaze of fire.Other people began to glance at us. I rolled my eyes at Adrian.He was such a dramatic man. What was wrong with him?"Alpha Adrian, don't forget that we are your guests. Respect us at least," I said to Adrian sarcastically.However, it was as if my voice did not reach Adrian's ears. He glared at Max and stepped toward him."You are aware of which pack you are in right now. Am I right?"Adrian's words were intended to warn Max. I stared at Adrian. What did he want? Did he want to push away every man who wanted to enter my life? He wanted me to suffer and be alone for the rest of my life.But I would not let him keep doing that.I took a deep breath and leaned toward Max. I locked my arm with him and turned my head at Adrian."

"Noah!"I said as I pushed the door of the room.Noah and Adrian both turned to me. I noticed that Noah was standing in front of Adrian while he was seated on the couch."Mommy."I walked to Noah, ignoring Adrian completely."Baby, how many times have I told you not to disrespect your father? He is your dad. You can't talk to him like that.""No, mommy. I don't like him. He is not my dad. Because of him, you always cried."I tightened my fists to control my emotions. Even as a small child, the image of his mother sobbing pierced his heart, and he had not yet moved on from it."Don't say that, baby. I was not crying for him but for my own fate.""Fate?" he mumbled with a confused face.I rubbed his hair and said,"Go back to the party. Aria is waiting for you."Noah glanced at Adrian. I realized that Adrian was silent all the time during my conversation with Noah.When Noah left the room, I turned around and looked at the man sitting calmly on the couch.However, when I looked carefull
