Chapter 116

Alpha 116

The atmosphere turned colder. The response from my brother took me by surprise. When a head Alpha expressed a desire to stay in the pack house, it

I bet no one had ever rejected an alpha in such a manner before. In fact, I had never before witnessed my brother demonstrate disdain toward any Alpha

However, this man was not only an Alpha of another pack but also the man who once treated the sister of this pack’s Alpha badly.

It is difficult to comprehend how Adrian could be able to forget about the past and act as if he had never done anything wrong.

What gave him the idea that Jason would take everything into consideration and give him the alliance? Was he even real?

“How can you talk to Alpha like tha-”

Adrian raised his hand to stop his Gamma from speaking out in rage at Jason. His gamma appeared to be infuriated since he was unable to tolerate it when he witnessed anoth

Adrian looked at Jason while composing himself. It was evidently clear that he also did not expect Jason to deny his staying here.

Beta Patric shook his head and said politely, “Alpha Jason, we respect you. But you can’t treat our Alpha in such a disrespectful manner. If, at some poin

I could see a defensive mode in Patric’s tone. He was ready to defend his Alpha.

“It’s okay. Alpha Jason can make his own choice. I can’t do anything about it.” Adrian spoke out.

“I am pleased that Alpha Adrian understands me. I can arrange tours for you to show my hospitality.” Jason said to him.

“No, I didn’t come here early for that.”

“Then what’s the reason behind it?”

Adrian’s behavior left me bewildered and confused. For a

moment, I fixed my gaze on him in order to read his eyes.

It was impossible for me to read them in any way. Even though they were cold, he maintained a steady tone. How could he possibly conceal his anger?

It was not like I wanted him to argue with my brother. But what did he want? Why did he even need our alliance? Weren’t we rival packs?

His eyes caught my gaze, and he replied to my brother without looking at me.

“I have my own reasons to come here.”

I did not break eye contact as I showed the hostility in my heart for him through my eyes.

“What do you mean?” my brother inquired with a cold tone as he noticed him looking at me.

“Nothing. I heard you are planning a marriage for your sister,” he asked, turning his eyes on Jason.

I narrowed my eyes. “Marriage?”

Adrian gave me a nod and replied,

“Yeah, that was what Beta Eric was saying. I thought, Why not ask your brother directly?”

“With whom?”

“With Beta Eric, of course.”

I turned to Eric, who lowered his head. Didn’t I refuse my brother’s proposal? Then what was the reason for him to say such things to others?

Eric looked at Adrian, who raised his brow with a smirk on his lips.

“Your beta lies too much, Alpha Jason. I thought to just inform you about it.”

“Eric was right. But I don’t think you need to know about it since it has nothing to do with you,” Jason responded, which caused me to tilt my head to look

“So you mean you decided to marry her off without her consent? “Adrian asked, sounding furious.

“Who said it without her consent? Didn’t you hear their

conversations a while ago? They are very close and happy with each other.”

Adrian looked at me as if he wanted me to say something. Did he want me to refuse it?

Though my brother was lying about it, I did not want to talk over him in front of Adrian.

1 kept quiet and calmly sat there.

“Great,” Adrian muttered.

“Yeah, it’s great news,” Jason retorted.

A few maids came to Jason and bowed to him.

“Alpha, the dining table is set with lunch.”

Jason stood up and said to Adrian,

“You wanted to see hospitality. Let’s have lunch together. It’s also a part of hospitality.”

After uttering those words, Jason began to make his way towards the dining room. His officials, including Eric, followed him.

Adrian stood up and replied,

“I don’t want to. I’m done here. See you in the meeting tomorrow, Alpha Jason.”

Jason did not turn to look at him, as if he knew Adrian would not join him.

“As you wish, Alpha Adrian.”

I noticed Eric turned his head to look at me, but I was mad at him, so I did not go to the dining room to join them, though I knew Jason would call me when he would not see me

But my brother was fast enough to call out to me.

“Natalia, follow me, You didn’t eat anything in the morning.” Jason said that and then went to the dining room.

“Y–Yes, brother.”

After observing my brother and his officials leaving the living room, I got to my feet. My gaze drew to Adrian, who was fixing his eyes on me,

While I was trying to walk to the dining room, I chose to ignore him. But he blocked my way by stepping in front of me.

“What was your brother saying? You are with that Beta Eric?”

I rolled my eyes. “How many times do I have to tell you that yes, I am with him? Why do you even ask me? It’s not unknown to anyone that Eric and I are

He glared at me while saying, “But I thought you were lying to me.”

“Why would I?”

“You”

“Adrian, let’s go. We need to work on some papers,” Beta Patric said, patting his shoulder.

A severe expression appeared on Adrian’s face as he turned his head to stare at Beta Patric.

“Wait for me outside.”

The other men looked stunned by his cold voice. Beta Patric glanced at me and then nodded his head toward Adrian. “Okay, Alpha.”

I assumed that the way Adrian spoke to him in front of an

outsider like me had hurt him.

With Beta Patric, the other three officials walked out of the pack house.

“Why did you talk to him like that? He is your beta, not your slave,” I scolded Adrian.

I took a step back away from him as he suddenly moved closer to

1. me.

“Cancel the marriage.”

“What?”

“I said, cancel it and reject that man,” he muttered while glaring at me as if he would eat me alive.

I was about to say no to him, but before I could reply, I heard a soft voice coming from behind.

“Uncle! You are here!”

I turned around and saw Aria standing a little distance away. With her, Noah was there too.

Noah looked at Adrian with a pair of angry eyes and pointed his tiny finger in the direction of Adrian.

“Mommy, why is he here?”noveldrama
