Chapter 17

Alpha 17

When I had just returned to the hotel, I was surprised to find a text message waiting for me from an unknown number.

“I heard you went to attend the event. Come back to the Crystal Blood Pack. I, along with your mother, will be waiting for you.”

It did not take much time for me to understand who sent the

message.

It turned out to be Jeremy Pierce, my foster father.

I asked in reply,

“How did you get my number?”

“You forgot who I am. Getting your number is not a big deal for me, Natalia. Now stop asking me questions and return to your home.”

I stared at the message. I scoffed at it.

‘Home? What does he mean by my home? He adopted me, yet he never showed me the affection that a parent would.‘ I thought.

I assumed that he might have obtained my phone number from the attendee lists for today’s party. With the intention of ensuring everyone’s safety, every

“I will never go back there. Forget about me.”

I sent it back and threw my phone on the bed.

I lazily walked to the bathroom and took a quick shower. Then I put on my long pajamas.

As soon as I emerged from the bathroom, I noticed that the screen of my phone was continuously illuminated, giving the impression that it was receiving notifications.

While wiping my hair with a white towel, I went to grab my phone.

I noticed a group of notifications from several social media platforms. When I saw people talking about me, I was completely taken aback.

Many people in the Crystal Blood Pack thought I was extremely cruel because I refused to go see my foster family. They talked about how I could do tha

I read a few comments from random people who were the Crystal Moon Pack’s members.

“How cheap she can be! She is abandoning her parents!”

“According to what I’ve heard, she ran away from our pack with an old guy; this is the reason why she refused to return to our pack.”

“What she is doing must be causing her family a great deal of embarrassment.”

I read the comments. I had no idea how they came to know of the conversation that took place between my foster father and me. Due to the fact that he

I commented on a post anonymously. “What if she is not a bad person? You all must have understood her.” ”

My comment was liked by a few others, and they told me that they also felt the same. But some people were saying that I was a

disrespectful child who left her old parents alone and enjoyed my life outside.

I did not waste my time on it. Why would I? I didn’t care about them. I didn’t come here to go back to my old life. My foster parents were wealthy enough to enjoy

Although I was feeling drowsy, I couldn’t sleep since I wanted to talk to my babies. They were my life.

I called them, and they joined me on a video call.

“Hi, my babies. What are you two doing?” I asked my kids.

Noah waved at me while Aria gave me a flying kiss.

“Mom, when will you come back?” Noah asked me.

“Very soon, baby.”

“Mom, please bring me a large candy,” Aria demanded.

“Yes, I will. Where is your Uncle William?” I asked them.

William was the butler who took care of them. Additionally, there were a couple maids who assisted Aria in putting on clothing and giving herself a showe

“He is here.” In the direction of their left side, Noah pointed his hand.

William approached the screen and bowed to me.

“Madam Natalia, don’t worry. I’ll take care of them.”

“I will be back in a few days. Until then, stay with them,” I told William.

Noah made a pouting face and mumbled, “Mom, we want to meet you.”

He had a striking resemblance to his father. I was afraid that one day Adrian would get to know about him and Aria.

What would I do at that time? I could not lose my children. The only reason I was still alive was because of them.

“Baby, Mom will be back soon,” I replied.

I had been talking with them for an hour. They told me about everything that they had done throughout the day. I told them to stay with their grandparents spend their time.

After talking with them, I was prepared to go to sleep.

However, a knock on the door startled me.

I got out of bed, as I assumed it might be Atlas. His room was next to mine.

So I opened the door while saying,

“What happened, Atla-

I paused when I saw who was standing in front of me.

It was Adrian.

He looked infuriated, glaring at me with his dark eyes.

“You?” I mumbled while looking at him.

With a blink of an eye, he grabbed my hand to push me inside and entered the room to close the door behind him.

I was trying to understand what he was doing, but before that, he pressed me against the door and asked,

“Atlas, huh?”

His unexpected move left me in a state of astonishment.

“What’s wrong with you? Why did you come here?” I asked, trying to push him.

To prevent me from moving, he grasped my arms firmly.

“What were yon saying to my dad? You have to go to the Blue Blood Pack? Why? Because of that Beta Atlas?”

His jaw was clenched tightly. He appeared to be so enraged that it almost frightened me.

“Alpha Adrian, stay within your limits. Leave me.” noveldrama

“Leave you? So that you can go to that Atlas guy?”

“What do you want?” I asked.

I did not know why he even came to talk to me. The thing that I discovered was that he hated me more than anyone else.

His rage did not even slightly subside at any point.

Are you with him now?” he asked with a hushed tone, as if trying to calm himself.

“Why do you ca-?”

“Yes or no.”

I took a deep breath as I thought about lying to him. Maybe it was the only way I could stay away from this man.

“Yes. I am with Atlas,” I replied.

I thought he would leave my room now after getting his answer.

But he growled loudly, which caused me to shake. I had never before. experienced such a kind of submission in front of any alpha. Then why only in fron

“Just leave my room. I don’t want to talk to you anymommmm…!!”

My eyes widened as he gripped the back of my neck and pressed his lips against mine.
