Chapter 412
Natalia glanced at the woman's hand, which was holding Adrian's arm.
Her eyebrows arched as she slowly lifted her gaze to Adrian.
She took a step back when she noticed the woman hugging his arm.
It was then that Beta Patric walked into the pack house.
All the officials hugged him, welcoming him back. He was in the other car, so it took him some time to arrive.
Natalia could not move her attention from Adrian. She was waiting for Adrian to remove the woman's hand from him. But it did not seem he was feeling any discomfort around the woman.
"Who is she, Adrian?" Grace Miller asked her son.
It did not look good the way the young woman was hugging her son.
The young woman cast a glance at Grace. She had a beautiful face with a pair of soft emerald eyes. Her beauty was capable of attracting any man she desired.
She looked innocent and young, much younger than Natalia.
Adrian looked at his mother and replied,
"Mom, she is Hazel Leighton."
"Okay, but who-"
Alpha Lucas interrupted his wife as he asked,
"L-leighton?"
There was trembling in his voice. Everyone including Natalia turned to look at Lucas.
Lucas's eyes were clouded. "Which pack does she belong to?" he asked with a stressed tone.
Adrian's eyes grew darker as he muttered,
"The Black Haw Pack."
Alpha Lucas's eyes widened. He stepped back, nearly falling. Delta Julian quickly grabbed his arms to keep him from falling.
Alpha Lucas's reaction was something that caught everyone off guard.
Natalia redirected her gaze to Adrian. She noticed him staring at his father without approaching him to help him.
"What happened to you, Lucas? Are you feeling any pain in your chest?" Grace asked, holding Lucas's hand. She thought her husband had gotten another heart attack.
Alpha Lucas tried to compose himself. Instead of responding to his wife, she looked at the young woman named Hazel Leighton and asked,
"What brings a member of the Leighton family here?"
Natalia was perplexed as to why Lucas was talking about the girl's family as if they were the enemy of this pack. Beta Patric gazed at Alpha Lucas and replied,
*She saved Alpha during the rogue attack. Alpha had been targeted by the rogues' leader. At the time, she was the one who saved both him and me. We were injured. She sheltered us in the Black Haw Pack."
Natalia was a little surprised when she learned that the woman had saved Adrian's life. She should not have assumed that she had any bad intentions toward Adrian. She might be misinterpreting the situation.
Adrian was already married and had two children.
She let out a sigh and said,
'Thank you for saving my husband, Hazel."
Her voice did not move. She looked straight into her eyes. However, when she said 'my husband', she used a more forceful tone.
Hazel fixed her gaze on Natalia and gave her a warm smile. She let go of Adrian's arm and moved towards Natalia. She reached for Natalia's hand and spoke softly in a tone that sounded like honey to everyone. However, her words were bitter, which surprised Natalia.
*Natalia Hansley, Nice to meet you. Don't worry about him. He is fine now. I took care of him like my own husband."noveldrama
