Chapter 88

Jason turned to me and gazed at my perplexed look.

"It was Adrian who kidnapped her, wasn't he?"

I was shocked. He knew the truth!

"Brother, how do you know?"noveldrama

"What do you think about me? I am your head Alpha. I can sense who can do what. Now tell me, why did he do that?

I lowered my head as I mumbled, "He wanted to know the truth."

"Bastard! What did you say to him?"

I was silent. I did not want to say that from my mouth to him. He was my big brother. What I said to Adrian was so embarrassing that I would never say it to anyone else.

"She said their father was dead." Eric replied to Jason instead of me.

"And? Did he not want to learn about identity?"

"She said it was a one-night thing, and she did not know much about him."

Jason was quiet for some time and then sighed.

"You did a foolish thing, Natalia."

I lifted my head to look at Jason. "B-But brother, I had no other option left but to make an excuse."

Jason gave me a disappointed look. "He is no longer Adrian, who used to be your husband, but Alpha Adrian, who runs the Crystal Blood Pack. I hate to say that he is clever enough to catch your lies. He is not a school kid who will believe such a lie."

I frowned at him. "He believed me, brother. He got angry and let me take Aria away."

Jason turned to Eric. His eyes turned dark as he asked, "Why didn't you inform me about it? Why did you let her go to that man?"

Eric lowered his head in submission. I was shocked to see Jason's anger. He had never behaved like that to Eric before.

"Brother, it was not his fau-"

Jason lifted his hand to interrupt me and asked Eric,

"Is this how you will protect my sister? By sending her to her ex-husband?"

I was feeling awful. Because of me, Eric had to get scolded by Jason.

"I'm sorry, Jason," Eric muttered, sounding furious as if he did not like Jason's words, but he still apologized since he was his Alpha.

"Brother, please listen to me. Don't get mad at him. He has done nothing wrong. I was the one who begged him to let me go to Adrian so that I could get Aria back. I was afraid that he would hurt my daughter if I went there with him."

"I want to talk to Natalia alone," Jason said angrily.

Eric nodded his head without looking at us and left the room.

I glanced at the door, which Eric had just closed after leaving. I felt upset for him.

"Look at me. When will you start sharing your problems with me? Why are you always afraid to tell me anything? Am I not a good brother in your eyes?"

I turned my attention back to Jason. He looked fiercer. I walked to him and hugged him to calm him down. "Brother, I am so sorry. Please don't get mad. I know you love me a lot and care for me. I also do the same. That is the reason why I don't want to pull you into my matter."

I broke the hug when I saw that he did not hug me back. I looked at him and saw his angry look Usually he was a very sweet guy who could do anything to protect his sister, but when he got mad, it was the end of everything. His inner wolf could not let him calm down. After all, he had Alpha blood.

"Okay, I'm telling you the truth. I thought you would hurt him, so I didn't tell you."

He looked at me and asked,

"Do you still love that man?"

I was astounded by his question. Why did he ask that? Did he not know the answer?

"No, brother."

"Then why did you care if I hurt him?"

I tried to clear up his misunderstanding as I explained, "As a head Alpha, you can't cause any harm to other Alpha who came here to attend your events. I did not want you to do something that could destroy your reputation."

Jason let out a sigh and sat on the bed. I took a seat next to him.

"Brother, I am fine. Aria is also unharmed. So don't worry."

Jason rubbed his forehead as if he were distressed. "Do you have any idea what you have done? That man will not stop there."

"But he believed my lie. Today, Eric told me about Qadir's spell. So that means Adrian will never get to know about the truth."

Jason turned his head toward me. "This guy can't hide any single thing from you."

He was talking about Eric. I would have never learned about the spell if Eric had not told me.

"Don't scold him again, brother. We are his family. He feels bad when you scold him. Aren't you both best friends?

"You care for him, which makes me feel good."

I looked away from him. "It's not like that. He is a good friend."

"What you said to Adrian, he will take a chance about it, Natalia. He will tell others about it to destroy your image in our pack. What will you do at that time?"

I was shocked when I heard him. Adrian could do that. I could not believe that man. But if he did, what would happen to my children and their future?

"What will I do now, brother?"

He placed his hand on my head and replied,

"Take one step forward in your life. You and your children need someone who can give you three protections as a man, your man."

I pushed his hand away from my head and stood up.

"Brother, you know I don't want it. I don't want to leave you all and start a new life."

He got to his feet and replied to me,

"You don't have to leave us. Nothing will change in your life. Because you knew the man. He will never leave the pack house."

I turned to him. "Brother, what are yo-"

"No one can be a better man for you and a better dad for your children than Eric. Accept him, Natalia."
