Chapter 444
Patric rose up from the chair. "Adrian, what are you saying? Why would he want to protect Hazel? What is his connection with her? He never left the Blue Blood Pack either."
Adrian grabbed a file and muttered,
"You should have asked him. Why did you return with only half of the information?"
"Because I thought..."
"That is why you should not blindly trust anybody." Adrian paused and looked at him. Then, he continued,
'The only person you should blindly trust is your Alpha."
Patric slumped back in the chair as his shoulder gave out. He felt relieved that Adrian was not the father of Hazel's child. He was concerned about Adrian and could not think of any other option but to visit Qadir.
He took a look at Adrian's bandaged forehead. There was a wound inside the bandage that would never heal. Because it was not a hit of any werewolf but a powerful wizard.
He assumed that Adrian was feeling pain because of that wound, and it was the reason why his eyes kept changing. Though Adrian refused to admit it, Patric suspected they had done something to him that was causing him such pain.
"But you had an argument with Natalia that night," Patric said. He could still remember how angry Adrian was. It was the reason why he and Adrian fought.
Adrian leaned his back against the chair and let out a deep breath. His eyes returned to black.
"If I had not provoked her by saying those things that night, she would never have chosen to stay here." "What about the pack company? Your reputation? Your Luna took control of the pack business."
'Doesn't matter to me. As long as she is in front of my eyes, she can take over my pack as well.
Patric stared at Adrian for a while. "Do you remember how Qadir's spell caused you to lose recognition of your children? You thought they were another man's blood. You were still willing to accept them. Now when someone is telling you that the child is yours-"
Adrian stopped him by saying,
'That was a different case. Are you saying Hazel and my woman are the same?"
"Then who is the father of Hazel's child? And why is she lying? Just to become the Luna of our pack? Are you going to kill her?"
Adrian shook his head in response. "If I wanted to kill her, I could have done so when I awoke and found her beside me in bed."
Patric recalled Adrian almost killing Hazel that day, something Hazel had also told Natalia.
"What are you planning, Adrian? There is no way you are so relaxed without any plan in your head."
Adrian grinned at his beta, who knew him better than anyone else.
"I will let Natalia run the company if she wants to. It will strengthen her."
"Why don't you try to talk to her?"Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
"She won't listen to me. I tried that night. She is a short-tempered Alpha, just like your Alpha," Adrian said, reaching for his neck as if thinking about her hard grip around it.
"Adrian, what will you do to Hazel?"
"Hazel is shielding her child from me and trying to fulfill her family's wish. First, find out about that bastard who got her pregnant. Until then, keep pretending that we believed her. Let the Leightons live in a bubble."
"Are you sure we can handle it, Adrian? The Black Haw Pack has shown us their worst side. Those were painful days for you. I was afraid you would die and that we would never be able to return here."
Adrian closed the file that he opened a few minutes ago, then replied,
"I am not my dad. If a page from the past has already been turned, I will not leave it to my son to deal with in the future. I am going to end this chapter forever."
