Chapter 494
In the silent living roomnoveldrama
Everyone's attention was on Natalia. The three new people scrutinized her with their predatory eyes. The pair of emerald eyes, which had been experienced by seeing many things, keened by focusing on her. "How can you refer to her as this pack's Luna when there hasn't been a crown ceremony yet?' Hearing the strong voice, which did not shake a bit even though the owner was old, took Natalia aback.
She turned her head to look at the old man. She felt awkward inside after meeting his gaze.
It appeared that he possessed far more power than she had expected. The power of the wizarding world was something she was not unaware of.
The words that he spoke pierced her heart and brought her to the realization of something that she had neglected to remember.
'Crown Ceremony!' she thought, averting her gaze from the old man.
She came to the realization that she had not yet earned the title of Luna of this pack. The reflection of the night the Crown Ceremony flashed on her head.
That day, Adrian went missing. Because of this, the ceremony had to be canceled.
She thought deeper as she wondered,
'If a fire had not broken out in one of our villages that night, Adrian would not have gone there. He would not have met Hazel and...'
As soon as she caught a glimpse of something fishy, her eyes widened in shock.
She cast a quick glance in the direction of the couple who were smirking at her. She was able to comprehend the reason behind their smirk. It was because they were trying to signal that Hazel still had a chance to take the position from her.
Thinking, Natalia blinked her eyes and thought,
'So everything was pre-planned by the Leighton family. They were the ones who planned the fire and set up everything to take Adrian away from this pack.'
She could not help but gape, thinking of the possibility of the Leightons conspiracy.
Her heart clenched inside as her gaze shifted away from the couple and toward the man sitting calmly.
Everything would have been different if he had stood by her side. But he changed his heart when he found another woman.
Just looking at Adrian, she felt rage inside her. In fact, her wolf was also mad at him.
"Old Leighton, you must be in the mood for joking!"
Jason spoke up as he took a seat on a couch. He looked at Natalia to take a seat next to him. Natalia turned away from Adrian and sat down beside her brother.
No matter how much she wanted to leave this place, she would have to be part of this discussion. She could not leave her position like that.
"Alpha Jason may have forgotten that a pack is always bound by culture and rules. His sister is only the Alpha's wife without the Crown Ceremony."
Jason tightened his fists as he directly looked into Old Leighton's eyes. Something flashed inside the eyes, causing Jason to look away immediately.
"Brother, are you okay?" Natalia asked, holding his arm.
Jason patted her hand and whispered,
"He is the chief wizard of the Black Haw Pack, so try not to stare into his eyes too much. He can compel anyone to freeze and hurt them as he wants."
