Chapter 121

Adrian turned around and started to come toward the door. I looked around and tried to find a place to hide. I found a pillar close to me. I rushed toward it and hid behind it.

I peeked out and saw Adrian's officials walking out of the meeting hall with angry faces. They did not notice me and walked past the pillar. When I saw Adrian coming out after them, I shut my eyes and stood behind it.

'Wait a minute! Why am I even hiding? I asked myself.

Was it because I told Beta Patric a while ago that my brother would not humiliate anyone and make a decision fairly? But he had done the opposite.

My eyes widened when I felt someone grab my hand and pull me out from behind the pillar.

I almost gasped when I saw it was Adrian.

He started to drag me in another direction. I frowned at him but did not yell out at him. I was afraid that I would destroy my brother's reputation.

Adrian brought me to another corner, a little far from the meeting hall.

"What are yo-"

He shoved me against the wall and glared at me.

"How could you continue to stand there and listen to my humiliations? You did not come to stop him."

I was stunned. How did he know I was there?

My brows lifted up when I realized that he was aware of my presence in the hall.

Was it because of my scent?

"Why would I come?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.

He frowned at me. "Do you know why I was controlling my anger when your brother was continuously talking nonsense? It's because of you. I thought you would enter the hall, and..." he paused as he shook his head as if he were disappointed.

*Excuse me? How can you expect me to say anything for you?"

He stared at me with a pair of sharp eyes. "So you don't care about how I feel in the meeting hall?"

I was dumbfounded. What was he talking about? Why would I care for him?

"You have lost your mind, Adrian Miller. Why would I care? Who are you to me that I should care for?"

He appeared to be speechless. I had no idea why I was even talking to this man.

I tried to move, but he placed his hands beside my head, just like he did in the party of the Storm Forest Pack.

I was afraid he would do something like that again.

"If you do something like that again, I will-

'Claw me?" he asked and scoffed at me.

I paused when I heard him mocking me. I shifted my gaze to his body. His words reminded me of the night when he helped me in the forest. I clawed his back that time.

I wondered why he was so calm about it. Why did he not ask me for a cure to heal those wounds?

"I thought of making an alliance with your pack as my first step to extend my hand toward your pack. But what did your brother do? When I asked him to let me stay in his pack house, he rejected me in my face."

I could see bitterness in his eyes. I did not know why, but I could not look into them for a long time. So I averted my gaze and replied,

"You deserve it."

He moved closer to me, and I shifted my head to the side to avoid facing him.

"My dad invited you personally to stay at my pack house. That's how my family treated you. Even after my divorce, they continued to show you their affection. But how did your family behave with me? They mocked me every single second and taunted me as if I were not an Alpha but rather a member of their pack who they could say anything to anytime."

His words were starting to annoy me. I pushed him, which almost took him aback.

I glared at him and said what was on my mind.

"What my brother did was absolutely correct. I was waiting for this day only. Your family treated me well because I always showed them my love. But my family is aware of what you did to me. You are nothing to me and my family; you don't even deserve to be our pack member. You are lucky that my brother only humiliated you. He should have killed yommnn..."

I could not realize it when he came closer and smashed his lips on mine.

I tried to push him, but he grabbed my hands and locked them behind my back. This caused my body to press against his as he brought me closer to him.

I struggled in his arms. His loud heartbeats almost stopped me. He tilted his head and kissed me deeply.

The way his lips moved on my lips brought back memories of many years ago.

I hated it when my past hunted me once again.

I shut my eyes to calm myself as my eyes almost changed color. My claws came out, and I scratched his chest angrily.

He groaned in pain and broke the kiss. He lowered his head and looked at his chest. He could see the claw marks on his shirt because the claw had torn his shirt.

His eyes turned red as he returned his gaze to me. "You gave me so many wounds, darling. Let me give you one." Before I could understand his furious words, he crashed his lips on mine once again. He bit my lower lip harshly, and that gave me a little pain.

I hissed when I felt blood on my mouth. He let go of my lips and looked at me.

His entire face was ablaze with rage the entire time. I touched my lips and discovered blood on my fingertips.

I grabbed his collar and gazed at him with a fierce expression on my face.

"How dare you even touch me without my permission?'

He glared at me in return and replied to me,

"I don't need anyone's permission to touch you. No one can stop me, not even you yourself."noveldrama
