Adam just looked at the screen and a lot of questions appeared in his mind.What the hell happened here? This should have been a simple speech in the backyard of the new school, since when this was about TV interviews, news shows, cameras and propelling Natalie as if she was the empress of the world?“Man” Phillip said, coming closer , because at the middle of Natalie’s speech he came in the living room too. “She did an outstanding work there and people loved her”She did it, no one says she didn’t, but since when is she so eager to take credit for her job?And Adam’s heart tightened.She was alwaying supporting him, and giving him the credit for her good work, making him look good in front of everyone and now? She didn’t even mention his name, for the goddess’s sake? Why did she change? and he continued to stare at the goddess who was talking about her new plans, not his or theirs, her plans to make the werewolves' world great again.“She should run for president!” Judy said coming i
“Alexander Stepanek!” Natalie said laughing hard “What did you smoke this morning?”He made her smile. In all the madness she lived, someone made her laugh heartily.“I don’t smoke” Alex says and pointing to his perfect body continues “This body that makes you unfocused is healthy. If you want you can check on it”And hearing him Natalie rolled her eyes.He is like a god who came on Earth, that’s true, but to check on him? What a nerve on this guy! Who does he think he is? The most wanted bachelor in the Universe?“Did you just roll your eyes at me, Natalie?” Alex asks and squints his eyes at her as if that is something unbearable.“Oh,no!” Natalie exclaimed , placing a hand over her mouth “Did I just roll my eyes aloud?” and her reaction made Alex laugh too. “Forgive me good sir, it must be from the air I breathe. It smells like…scoundrel!”And hearing her Alex laughed even harder.“You are something else, Natalie Hawkins. I marvel about how stupid your husband is to not worship you”
“Brother?” Adam asks, a little bit perplexed. “I had no idea that Evan has an brother” and because Alexander Stepanek was someone who avoided standing out at public meetings, not for being shy but for thinking with all his heart that only stupid people display themselves in vai, he chose to let Evan to stay in the foreground, while he was collecting his benefits.Even at the Alpha party, only a few knew who he was, and that’s why Evan told Adam that Alex is not anti-social but anti-bullshit. So Adam looked at him for a few seconds and couldn’t believe his eyes that this man was Evan’s brother. He looks kind of stronger and his aura is powerful, but before he could add something else, Alex stretched his hand and with a bow in front of Natalie he took the lead and presented himself.“Luna Hawkins, I am glad to meet you” he said in a very respectful voice “I am Alexander”“Evan’s brother…”Natalie said looking at him and being marveled by his calmness and his nerves to come here and pract
Author’s POV.“Stop it!” Zander, Evan’s wolf growled at him. “Stop it right now!” but Evan was so furious that even if he stopped running he walked to his car, opened it and she hit the steering wheel pretty hard.“Why are you acting like a jerk?” Zander asked him and he is even more furious because he can feel the reason without being uttered by Evan.“Evan Leonardo!” he commanded him. “Do you have any idea what you are doing here?” Zander asked in a more calm voice. “I am twenty one, man. I’ve been waiting for my fated mate since I was eighteen and yet as soon as we found her, you turned around and walked away. What the hell is wrong with you?”“I don’t want her!” Evan said without even breathing.“You what?”and Zander has a little bit and transforms right there, in Evan’s car.“I said I don’t want her. I like another woman.”“And I want that little blonde woman that is my mate, do you understand what I am telling you? What is wrong with you to reject ehr without even knowing her.
But meanwhile in the restaurant, Alex was making himself comfortable. Evan told him that he found his mate and a lot of things needed to be solved but he let him solve this by himself as a grown man.“He ran away like a weirdo,” Kenji laughed. “You could say that he was afraid by that poor woman”“Just let him be, Kenji. He is not five. He knows what he's doing” and looking in front of him he sees Natalie at his right ,while Adam sits between her and Lexie. He looks at Natalie who is beautifully dressed and looks like a model and then at Lexie , who could say that she was gathered from the streets and put in some clothes she has no idea how to wear.“You look beautiful Luna Natalie” he said, giving her a smile and making Adam stare at him. Is he complimenting Natalie in front of him?“Your taste in fashion I must say is outstanding. It is rare to find someone with such a good taste.”“Well, thank you” Natalie said as if it was nothing. “A Luna should always be aware to look nice, she
Author’s POV.“Nat…” Judy said as soon as they were back in the Red Blood Pack, in Natalie’s room, but feeling her stress, Natalie motioned to her to come and sit with her in her bed.“What happened to the restaurant, Judy?” she asked her directly, remembering that she heard Judy whispering a soft ”mate!” when she saw Evan.BUt Judy just looked at her. How to tell her that her fated mate loves her, Natalie Hawkins, and not his fated mate? Natalie has no fault here and it is only Evan who makes things difficult.“If he hurt you, if Evan did something to you…” Natalie said and her heart beat rapidly. If Evan hurt Judy, there is no need for them to work together. She will find other allies, but before she could make an assumption, Judy said.“What?” and Judy gave her a soft smile. “No, Natalie, we are fated mates but things are complicated and before we could make a decision we agreed to stay just the way we are right now.”“Just the way you are?” Natalie looked at her in disbelief .”Th
“I have news!” Judy said as she stepped in Natalie’s office the next morning.“So soon?” Natalie couldn’t believe that everything was going so smoothly.“Well is not much, but it is a start and now we know for sure that Lexie Banks does not exist with this name.”“So she uses a cover name?” and Natalie placed her hands on the desk, stopping herself from what she was doing.“It is just the way Adam told you. He wasn’t lying, at least not this time. He really found her with those rogues, who he captured. I investigated them all night and every single one of them said the same thing. She showed up from nowhere, running from something or someone but never said anything about her past experience. No one knows which pack Lexie truly belongs.”“That’s not normal, Judy,” Natalie said and got up from her desk.“If she hadn’t anything to hide she would have been honest and talked about her roots.” and the thought that there must be more than she already knows about Lexie made her frown. What if
Lexie’s POV.I wasn’t born with a spoiled golden spoon in my mouth. I was at the bottom of existence most of my life and I fought for everything I achieved in this life which is practically nothing, but even for my right to share the same air with the rest of earthlings beings. I fought for that too!My mother, because she is the only one I remember, was a damn prostitute in my wolf pack. I was her only child and I would have done everything not to be born in this cruel world but I was, so I needed to find a way to survive since I was just a little pup.She never cared about me too much as she was bringing her clients to the place where we were living, and sometimes as a child I was accommodating her with my presence and I ended up being scolded all the time.“Don’t you know that I'm working now?” she was growling at me when I was crying because I was hungry.Or my favorite one: “I am working hard to offer you a place to live! Be grateful for what you have!” I remember staring at her
