Chapter 521
Natalia was on the way to the Blue Blood Pack. Her gaze was directed outside as she leaned against the window. She kept crying, thinking that she had misunderstood Adrian.
She had said so many things to him, and she even tried to kill him by holding his neck and clawing him.
But not for once did he try to hurt her physically. She recalled the car accident. She should have realized that Adrian was influenced by something other than being himself. But that day, he managed to save her by holding her against his chest.
"This is my battle. I will save you, Adrian," she muttered, tightly shutting her eyes.
Patric was there with her. He was sitting beside her in the car, staring at her every moment.
"Don't cry, Natalia. We will do our best to resolve everything."
Natalia wiped away her tears before turning to face him. "Mom and Dad..."
She paused as she was talking about Adrian's parents. Patric nodded his head. "They are also pawns in this game. Their minds were also manipulated."
Natalia was upset with herself for behaving rudely towards them. She felt bad about opening that cursed room.
It was early morning when they arrived at her old pack.
As the car stopped near an old house, she did not waste time and rushed toward the main door.
She knocked loudly on the door.
"Please open the door."
When the door opened, Natalia saw the old man standing there.
"Qadir"
Qadir did not appear surprised as he stepped aside and allowed Natalia and Patric to enter his home.
"You know everything. Please help me to save my husband."
Natalia's voice was shaky, which made Qadir's white brow furrow.
"You are a Luna. How can you appear scared?"
"I don't have much time. If they keep messing with Adrian's mind, he might lose himself in a few days," Natalia said, looking hopelessly into Qadir's eyes.
Qadir's gaze shifted to Patric, who was also waiting for his solution.
Qadir sat on the couch and motioned for them to sit.
When they took their seats, Qadir began to speak.
"The Leightons owned a powerful coven many years ago. But something happened that caused them to split up. Do you know why?"
Natalia shook her head as she patiently listened to him. Qadir rubbed his palm while looking down at it.
Natalia was surprised to notice a burn mark on his palm. Adrian's wound on his forehead looked exactly like this.
She was about to raise her hand to question Qadir about it when Patric stopped her with his gaze, telling her to let him finish.
Natalia settled down and waited for Qadir to continue.
"Due to the death of their lead witch."
Natalia nodded her head. "I know it was my father-in-law who killed her."
Qadir lifted his head and shook it. "No, someone else killed her. Your father-in-law got just the blame in his head because he was the one who caged the power."
Natalia and Patric exchanged a glance as they learned that.
Suddenly Qadir asked Patric,
"Is the woman alright?"
They understood that he was asking about Hazel. Patric responded calmly, "As you mentioned, we are protecting Hazel. I realized that she is indeed carrying an Alpha's child. But the child is not my Alpha's, but your Alpha's."
Qadir smiled as he nodded his head. "Even if she were not carrying my Alpha's child, I still would have protected her."
Natalia looked at him with a frown. "But why?"
Qadir let out a sigh, as if he had been keeping a secret in his chest for quite some time. He lowered his head and replied,noveldrama
"Because she is my granddaughter."
