I was on my way to the pack house in my car. Right now, my mind is completely disorganized.Because of her words and the way she looked, I could not help but think about the past.I recalled the night she drugged me. I used to believe that she was the one who did it."How can she admit it?" I groaned in anger as my fingers clenched around the steering wheel.I was okay until today. I was aware of her plans against me, but the moment she admitted that she had drugged me and married me only for my position, it gave me discomfort in my chest.I swerved the car to go in a different direction. I no longer had the mind to return to the pack house.I went to my company's apartment. I took a shower to ease my mind, but Natalia's words kept replaying in my head.I went out of the bathroom after the shower, lit a cigarette, and took a few puffs.It somewhat relieved my distress a little.At that moment, my phone began to ring. I glanced at the screen of my phone and noticed that it was Lynda.I
I could not sleep the whole night as the past began to replay in my mind.After that night, when I woke up the next morning, I found a stranger lying next to me naked under the blanket.I was not shocked at all. I thought it was just another girl in the club who wanted to earn money by selling her body.But what surprised me was that I could not recall anything. I was not even sure if I had slept with her. But there were many purple marks on her bare back, indicating that I had slept with her."Are you okay?"I heard Patric's voice, which brought me back to reality from my thoughts of the past. I had no idea when he entered my office room.I was sitting on the couch while holding the cigarette between my two fingers. When I glanced at the cigarette, I found it half-burned. I was so preoccupied by the old memories that I forgot about it."Hmm," I replied.Patric walked over the couches and took the opposite seat. He looked at me."They are on their way to the company."As I heard him,
I was able to recognize myself in the video. In that video, I was having a conversation with a friend. Our drinks were served, and I took a sip on mine. Later, a waiter helped me get into a room since I was not feeling well.I rewinded the video and saw the waiter adding something to my drink. I was not expecting it.When I tried to see who gave him the order, my eyes widened.It was not Natalia!It was another woman. I was able to get a better look at her face by zooming in. My jaw was clenched as I stared at the face of the woman that was displayed on the screen.I discovered that she was Natalia's cousin."Does that mean she did it and Natalia is innocent?" Benjamin asked all of a sudden, as all of them were standing next to me, to find the truth.I said nothing, which made him stop talking.There was no way that Natalia could be innocent. She might be the one who gave her cousin permission to do it.I continued to play a few more videos. This time, I was only interested in watchin
She began to cry while holding the doorknob. She took out her phone and dialed someone, but after speaking with the person on the other end of the line, her face turned pale.She threw her phone away and wiped her tears. My eyes were not moving from her broken look. Something moved inside me as I struggled to maintain control of myself.At that time, a few men approached her. She took a step back as they stood next to the room. One of them opened the door and directed her to enter. From inside, a man in his fifties came out and stood at the door.I could hear gasps from beside me.Natalia joined her hands to the old man as if she did not want to go into the room.Standing outside the room, one of the men grabbed her by the neck and forced her to gulp down a bottle of wine. She pushed him and began to cough after taking a few gulps.Those men began to laugh while looking at her. The old man said something to the men after scanning Natalia from head to toe, then went inside the room, l
The moment the video was over, I shoved the laptop away from the desk and threw it on the floor."Adrian!"Patric tried to hold my hand, but I yanked it away. "How can I be so stupid? HOW?"I growled when I felt like my heart was burning in hellfire. I could not believe Natalia was innocent and had not drugged me.In fact, she did not even look like she had any intention to trap me.It was all because of Natalia's cousin."Bring that bitch here to me. I will kill her."I yelled at my officials, who immediately lowered their heads in submission.I ran my fingers through my hair as I was losing all of my patience.Natalia was innocent!She was not the one who drugged me. Her intention was not to ensnare me in any way. Because I was under the influence of drugs, I was the one who might have been the one to initiate getting closer to her. She was only trying to save herself."WHY?"I punched the glass of the desk in anger. Immediately, blood rushed out of my broken skin as my hand broke
Natalia’s POV The dream felt so real. In it, I let out a moan as he sensually placed his hands on me, breaking our kiss. His electrifying touch sent waves of desire coursing through my veins. He lowered his head, and his kiss caressed the tender spot on my neck. I closed my eyes, hoping his affections would continue. His breath hungrily grazed my earlobe, sending shivers down my spine. But then, in a deep, chilling voice, he said, “Never.” I gasped, and my eyes flung open. I was alone in the room.It had been two years since I married Adrian Miller, the future alpha of the Crystal Blood Pack. During our two years together, I had tried and failed to win his love many times over. He hadn’t even marked me yet, despite that I was his wife. And as a werewolf, I couldn’t help but want my alpha to mark me as his. He also hadn’t been home in a long time, and I yearned for his touch.I heaved a sigh, sat slowly, and yawned. Then I looked at the clock, and my mouth dropped open. “Shit! I’m
Adrian froze at the word divorce. Then he heard me. He moved his head away from my neck and peered at me. “Do you even know what you are saying?” he asked, releasing his grip on my hands. As he did so, I brought my hands close to my front body.He stared at me, waiting for my answer, I brought my hands to the front of my body, then looked for any sign of discomfort in his expression. His question had made me wonder whether or not he was at all hurt by it. But the look in his eyes said I was wrong to wonder. He was a mighty alpha within our pack, second only to his father. Our divorce would bring his life back to normal, which was exactly what he desired. So how could he feel upset by it?I burst into tears and repeated, “Let’s get a divorce.”Deep lines formed between his thick brows. “Boring,” dismissively as he moved away from my body and rose from the bed. “You’re nothing but a nuisance!”I struggled to get up. “I’m not kidding. I’m serious.” To show him just how serious, I opened
Adrian’s POVI sat brooding amid loud bar music and colorful mist. “How dare she prepare the divorce papers?” I muttered to myself while staring at the drink before me. “And she thought I wouldn’t sign them?” My lips morphed into a twisted grin. “But I destroyed her little plan, didn’t I?” I felt that Natalia was not only a really dull woman, but a wicked person. I could still vividly recalled the details of the events that led up to our marriage. She had been eighteen the night we “met.” It had been my twenty-first birthday, and she’d drugged me. I woke next to her in a hotel bed the following morning and I understood it must be Natalia who did that.I hated her from that day forth, especially after my father demanded that I had to marry her. She had to have begged my father to marry me, too. Seeing how she was the daughter of a gamma, she had no chance to be the pack’s luna otherwise. So she’d entrapped me. And my father, in his perfection and compassion for other pack members, di
