"What?"Adrian got up from the chair with an angry face.Natalia was confused about what could have happened, which made him react like this."Alpha, Doctor Harold just informed me about it."Adrian clenched his jaw but then glanced at his children's scared faces.He let out a deep breath and tried to calm down, which was impossible for him."You all continue. I'm coming in a few minutes."Adrian left the restaurant and stood outside."Where is she?" he asked as his mind turned restless.Faith was the only person who could spill the truth about who made her do that to Natalia.How could a girl run away from the pack hospital so easily?"What were those guards doing at that time?"Theta Emon was quiet for a moment, then replied,"They said they did not know about it. Only doctors and nurses could go to that cabin so they assumed any female doctor helped her run away.""And how did she do that?""I found out the CCTV footage and saw that Faith walked out of the cabin in a doctor's coat

Max stared at Adrian without replying to him. He got his warning, which clearly indicated that he wanted Natalia back.'This man only wants her because she is his mate,' he thought.He glanced at Natalia, who waved at him and muttered sorry for not going with him.Max gave her an assuring nod that he did not mind.Meanwhile, Adrian noticed everything.He got in the driver's seat and glanced at his children, then started the car.When the car started to move, Natalia remembered something as she turned to look at Adrian."Wait a minute. Where is their car? We could have gone in that car."Adrian did not reply to her as his eyes fixed on the road."I am asking you something," Natalia said to him about the children’s car, arching her brows at him.Adrian remained silent, as if he did not want to reply to her. Natalia clenched her jaw in anger.Why did she even agree to come in his car? She could have gone with Max and let Aria and Max go with this man.The whole ride became silent.In the

Natalia's POVI was shocked when I heard Adrian. Did he even know what he was saying?I could not believe he could say that ever in his life.However, I suspected he was lying to me. I did not believe this man at all.I tried to break his grasp. "Have you lost your mind? Leave me before I kill you."He shook his head, buried his face in my neck, and murmured something. His voice made a vibration on the skin of my neck, prompting me to gulp."I swear to my children. I love you. I can't see you with another man. I don't want to force you, either. Please don't turn me into the ruthless man that I don't want to be in front of you. I want you to love me back; I don’t want to blackmail you or something. Just give me a chance. It will be the last chance, I promise."My heart trembled with his words. I froze in place as if the whole world stopped around me, and I returned to the days when I used to dream of him returning my love.Tears scrambled in my eyes, as it was almost impossible for me

Adrian's POVFaith fainted from pain. My officials hurriedly took her to Julian's car."Where are we going to take her?" My Delta, Julian, asked me.I was still stunned. But I immediately came back to my senses and replied,"To my house."As the car drove in the direction of my house, I was still in a daze. I felt a pat on my shoulder, which made me turn around."I should drive your car. You don't look good to me," Patric said, getting into my car.I realized he did not go with my other officials. He started my car after I settled into the front seat next to him."I know it's shocking, but calm down. We need to know the truth," Patric told me calmly.However, my mind was not calm.She was not even safe with the man, whom she used to call her father.My blood was boiling in anger. "Call that man and tell him to come to my house right now."With one hand gripping the steering wheel, Patric took out his phone and dialed a number."Is he back in the pack?" he asked the man who received th

"HOW COULD I NOT RECOGNIZE HER? HOW?"I growled as I rose up from my chair and smashed the table with my hand.The loud noise of the broken table reached the living room. My officials rushed toward the study room and opened the door.I did not give a damn as I began smashing everything that caught my eye. It was unbelievable to me that I was such an idiot.Why did fate have to betray me like that? Why did her wound turn invisible at that time? Only if I could see that wound, I would have recognized her.But she did not want me to love her for the past. Why did I not love her back?Why?"Adrian!"Patric rushed over to me as well as my other officials. They grabbed my arms to stop me. But I yanked my arms away and punched the wall in anger."I just hate myself. Why did I do that to her? Why did I not recognize her? She was always in front of me, with me, but I....."I could not let out anything more as my eyes and throat both started to burn. I punched the wall once again.Blood gushed
