Chapter 117

Alpha 117

Adrian’s POV

As I held my gaze fixed on the young child, I noticed that his eyes were filled with animosity toward me.

It was supposed to be me who looked at him like that. He was someone else’s blood. A fruit of a one–night stand. What makes. this little boy have so much strength to give me this look?

I shifted my gaze to Natalia. Did she tell her son something about me? Did she brainwash the child’s mind?

However, my assumption turned wrong when she rushed to her son and scolded him.

“Noah, don’t talk like that. He is our guest.”

“Mommy, I don’t like this man.”

I glared at Noah. I scoffed when I saw his mother hiding him behind her. But he peeked his head to look at me.

“Uncle.”

I felt a swarm of little fingers wrapping themselves around my finger. I lowered my head and saw Aria.

I was hesitant to look at her. I was completely mistaken when I believed that she was my blood.

I recalled how I spent that day with this child while thinking that she was my own daughter.

“Aria, go back to your room with Noah,” Natalia said to her.

I looked away from Aria. I wanted to hold the child in my arms

again, but the report reflected my mind, and I snatched my finger away from her.

She was shocked by my actions. She looked at me with teary eyes.

“Uncle, what happened to you? Are you mad at me?”

I tightened my fists when I saw tears in her eyes.

‘Fuck! I made her cry!‘ I cursed in my head and bent down to hold her up.

“What are you doing?” Natalia asked me.

“Can’t you see?” I said to her with a cold look.

I came here for an alliance, but I did not expect to learn that she was also eager to marry Beta Eric. If I had known that, I would have never come here.

I focused on Aria, who lowered her head, avoiding my eyes.

From behind his mother’s back, Noah blurted out, “Aria, come here. Stay away from him.”

I glared at him, but he did not seem to care. Who gave him the audacity to look into my eyes without any dread? Even his mother was frightened of me a

“I’m sorry. Are you okay?” I asked Aria.

Natalia appeared to be taken aback by my soft tone. Why did I always see fear in her eyes? What was she afraid of?

“Uncle, you scolded me,” Aria uttered.

I patted her head. “How can I apologize to you? Do you want to go to any ice cream parlor?” I asked as I thought about that day. when I took her to the ic

Her eyes brightened up. She wiped her tears and nodded her head

at me.

“No way. Aria, get down,” Natalia said, walking to me. Noah came along with her.

She wanted to take Aria away from me, but I moved a little to the side to prevent her from doing so.

“Mommy, I want to eat ice cream,” Aria said with a smile.

“I will buy ice cream for you. Get down. Didn’t I warn you not to touch any stranger?”

It boiled my blood. Why was she talking like I had some bad intentions toward her daughter? She was just a child, and I

somehow adored her.

“No, Mommy.”

“ARIA.”

Natalia shouted at Aria, which caused her to flinch. It jerked her body in fear. She then began to cry. It showed that she was not used to it.

“How can you shout at her like that?” I asked Natalia with a furious look.

Natalia grabbed Aria’s arms and pulled her away from me.

“Keep your distance from my children,” Natalia warned me, and then she left the living room.

I remained expressionless as I looked back at her until she left the room.

I felt very humiliated when her brother said he would not let me

stay in his pack house. But the way she snatched her daughter away from me made me feel more insulted.

Did I look like a child thief to her?

“Stay away from my mommy.”

I heard the angry voice of a child. Upon looking down, I noticed. that Noah was still there.

I rolled my eyes at him. “What’s your problem, huh? Why do you behave like this?”

“Because you deserve it. You are a bad man.” noveldrama

I grimaced at him. He was just like his mother. In fact, their. words were the same.

“And this bad man can do many bad things too. Have you forgotten about it?”

His eyes widened after hearing me.

The look of fear on his face made me chuckle. He might be scared

of me now.

“Don’t hurt my mommy.”

I was completely taken aback. Rather than being afraid of himself, he was afraid of his mother being hurt.

Something occurred to me, and I replied by saying,

“Your mommy is going to marry Eric. Do you know that?”

“Really?” he asked with a bright smile.

I narrowed my eyes. Why was he so happy? I wanted to provoke him to break the relationship, but he looked pleased with it. I did not like this at all.

Just thinking about that woman with someone else was driving my mind insane.

“He is not a good man.

“You are lying. Uncle Eric is a good person. I want him to be my dad.”

“How dare you call just anyone your dad?” I scolded him, as I did not like it when he referred to Eric as his dad.

“He takes care of mommy. He is not like you.

was surprised by his remarks. “What do you mean?”

I was sure that something was roaming around this little boy’s head. Why did he say that? Why would I take care of his mother? Why did he even compa

thought about arguing with this boy about it. But when I saw that he was silent, I stopped myself.

I turned around to leave the pack house. However, before I could reach the main door, I heard him mumbling.

“You hurt my mommy a lot. I hate you.
