Chapter 25

Alpha 25

Adrian’s POV

I was on my way to go to the airport. Because the battery was running low, my phone switched off. I was staring out the window while sipping coffee.

The chilly weather mirrored the icy depths of my heart. It was a reflection of the frigid abyss that I felt within my heart.

My mind was mixed up with Natalia. There was no way I could get her out of my head.

Despite the fact that I did not want to leave at this moment, I was notified that something had come up in my pack. As the head Alpha, I would have to handle it.

“Take the call,” Patric told me while handing me his phone.

After giving the screen a brief glance, I saw that Lynda was the one who had called him.

“Tell her I’m leaving.”

With a sigh, Patric turned the phone on a loud speaker and then continued to say, “Miss Lynda, Alpha is going back to the Crystal Blood Pack.”

“But he didn’t inform me,” Lynda replied with shock.

Patrick was taken aback by the question. He turned his head to me.

Although I did not utter a single word, I switched my attention back to the window.

After clearing his throat, Patric responded to Lynda by saying, Alpha should not be required to inform anyone.”

“I–I didn’t mean it, Beta D

him? I want to talk to him. It’s really important.”

“Take my apology. He is busy right now. We are heading to the airport. Alpha will be available to talk after we land in the Crystal Blood Pack.”

Following a period of silence, Lynda abruptly ended the call, which was a clear indication that she was upset.

It did not matter to me. Even though I had a feeling that I was being selfish, I simply could not allow her to get into my heart.

That woman saved me and risked her life. But still, why was I thinking about someone who I had already divorced?

Suddenly, what had occurred last night invaded my thoughts.

I was so enraged when I saw her running to save her life. I should not have given those men such an easy death.

‘How dare they touch her?‘

Just thinking about another man touching Natalia jerked my mind.

Upon recalling the fact about how she left with that Beta Eric, I closed my eyes and took a long breath.

“Are you thinking about something? You look worried,” Patrice said as he cast a peek in my direction.

I opened my eyes. Only anger could be seen in my eyes at that

moment.

“After reaching our pack, you have to do something.”

He was listening to me carefully, almost ready to work on my order.

“Beta Eric,” I muttered.

He raised his brows. “Do you want me to find something about him?

I shook my head and turned to look at him. He appeared stunned by my eyes. He understood how furious I was.

“Everything. I want to know everything about him.”

Patric exhaled and put his hand on my shoulder.

“You will get them at your table tomorrow,” he assured me.

Not only was he serving as my beta, but he was also my closest buddy. Over the course of these few years, he has been a tremendous supporter of mine. If he wanted, he could betray me in ruling the pack

“Adrian, it seems that she has moved on in his life,” he let out in a lower tone. (2

I looked away from him. “Do I care?”

Hearing me, Patric did not utter any other words.

After some time had passed, we arrived at the airport. I stepped out of the car.

My guards emerged from their cars. They hurriedly went to the trunk of my car and removed my luggage from there.

Putting my hand in my pocket, I started to walk.

People around me began to murmur.

“Isn’t he Alpha Adrian?”

“He is so handsome!”

“I wish I could be a member of the Crystal Blood Pack.”

I heard young women talking about me while men looked scared. Their whispers were not something that interested me.

Girls and young women were head over heels for me, which I was

not unaware of.

It’s just that these people were not my pack members, so they dared to gossip around me. If they were under my authority, they would have been so terrified that they would not have had the courage to move their mouths.

However, a question caught my attention.

“Have you seen the post his ex–wife posted today?”

“Yeah. That Lynda is such a homewrecker!”

I stopped and cast a glance in the direction of the two women who were conversing behind me. As soon as they realized that I had

heard them, they became embarrassed and walked away from me while lowering their heads. noveldrama

I looked at Patric and asked,

“What post were they talking about?”

Patric was about to say something when I heard an announcement.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have been informed by the Air Traffic Council that all the flights are delayed due to the current weather conditions at this airp updated departure information, you will be advised.”

“Great,” I said in sarcasm. I was already infuriated. This announcement added fuel to the fire.

Patric got a call. He said to me,

“You can take a seat in the waiting area, and I’m coming back in a few minutes. About the post, let me check it for you.”

I gave him a nod and proceeded to take a seat.

‘Natalia, did you do something again? Was Beta Eric’s announcement not enough? What have you done this time?‘ I

thought.

I glanced at Patric, who was talking with someone on the phone, handling the business.

Suddenly, I heard a low but sweet voice next to me.

“Can we sit here?”
