Se connecterChapter 142. Adrian's POV Tori and I were entangled in the sheet, her warm naked body pressed against mine as we basked in the aftermath of our hot sexual intercourse. I kissed her shoulder and she stirred a bit, snuggling her face into my chest. Poor Tori. I was going to protect her from her mean family. She was exhausted and she deserved all the rest in the world right now, so I didn't want to wake her up. But I also needed to get Arthur from his sitter and make sure that he has his bath and is fed. Thankfully, Tori pumped some milk before bed yesterday, and it was in the freezer. I slowly got out of bed, not to wake her up, and I got a shirt. I got out of the room and went to the next, where Arthur and his sitter spent the night. I expected to see him sleeping like his mother, but the room was empty, and both the bed and the cradle was made. I heard Arthur's giggle from downstairs and my heart was calm now. The nanny, the young teenage girl, had h
Chapter 141. Tori's POV I felt Adrian stiffen next to me. "Excuse me?" Luna dowager gave him a sorry smile. "I'm sorry, she didn't tell you? Well, I don't blame her because she was a wee child when she left. Her mother was the pack whore, and I honestly don't like to judge people before getting to know them, but there is a large possibility that it rubbed off on her." "Judge her?!" Adrian asked with a very pissed off tone. "You want to judge Tori for something that was entirely not her doing?!" "Adrian, honey, I was barren for the first five years of my marriage. Yes, it was beyond my control, but I didn't blame anyone but myself." "Bullshit!" Adrian huffed. Larissa is taken aback by this. "Alpha Adrian please watch your tone. You are speaking to my mother, and you are in the presence of the leader of this pack!" "Trust me, I will regard you with the highest disrespect, and there is nothing that you can do about it! Tori has a huge fashion house, and she l
Chapter 140. Tori's POV I was scribbling into my journal as soon as I woke up, but after writing a few lines, I found myself cancelling it. It had happened four times. I was trying to write a short speech in case I was asked to give one at my father's burial. The irony was that I didn't even know the man. From what I knew, I was never a wanted child, so why was I stressing myself? I didn't have the answer to that. I guess it was just something I was doing because of my anxiety about meeting them. "Hey," Adrian said, touching my arm. "We are ready to go. We are here now." Gosh, I didn't even notice when we touched down. What was wrong with me? I quickly put everything together, got Arthur up, and we all went out of the plane. A jeep was waiting for us, and it was so sparkling new that I was sure that Adrian bought it hours before we landed. "Seriously, a car? You guys don't understand that we don't have a fancy road to the pack. We have to cross a stream
Chapter 139. Adrian's POV Tori, Jackson, Arthur, and I, were getting ready to go to Tori's pack. The servants were loading our bags into the car, and Tori was kneeling in front of Kylian, as he bade the giggling baby goodbye. His shoulders fell as he sighed. "I don't understand, why can't I come with you guys?" "Because you are in school, and you can't skip a week, that would be very bad for a growing kid." I muttered under my breath, adjusting my shades. "I am not a kid! I'm grown!" Kylian pouted. "I'm a big boy!" Tori laughed as she ruffled his hair. "Of course you are, but don't worry, we won't be away for long. We will be back before you know it." "Yeah, she is right. I will be right here to keep you company." Monica said with a smile from the door. Yes, if there was one person I found trust with my son, it was my family. My mother travelled out of the country for a day or two, but when she returned, she would join them in my house. Monica and Tori
Chapter 138. Tori's POV I couldn't sleep all through the night, even though Adrian's gentle hands were wrapped around me fondly. How could I? I was thinking about how my original pack asked someone to come find me. I never had somewhere to belong to, I grew in foster homes, and it wasn't the best experience of my life. I didn't know to feel about confronting my past now, it was easier to accept that I fell from the sky years ago. I already said yes to Adrian, he was trying to protect me by telling me that I didn't have to go if that wasn't what I want, but I said yes. Because I had a longing to know my roots. I wanted to know what I looked like, and who my people were, even though they were considered savages– Forest people. First of all, I had to have dinner with my cousin, Jackson. This would prepare me for whatever I was going to face when I return back to the pack with him... My palms were all sweating and I was wringing my fingers like a nerd suffering
Chapter 138 Tori's POV It didn't take long for Arthur to fall asleep. I took him to his cradle and laid him properly. And for a moment I just stood there, staring at him as he drifted into his usual long naps. This right here was the best thing that has happened to me in this whole fucked up world. I couldn't help but just stare at him. How beautiful he was. I thought as I brushed his smooth cheek. And almost instantly he reacted to my touch, cooing, as if he recognised it. He reminded me of him a lot. But that person was in the past now. Everything he did to me-i took in a deep breath, then exhaled. There was no use looking back at or dwelling in the past. I had a future in front of me now, one that included my little pup. And I had to face it. Just then I remembered Adrian. He had asked me to meet him at his study earlier. Whatever we had to talk about was important and I knew this because of how tense he'd been. I looked at my little miracle once more and e
