Chapter 426
Adrian was sitting on the bed. His gaze lingered on the closed door ever since Natalia had left the room.
Cloudiness crept into his eyes. His expression changed from calm to fierce. He took a quick glance at Aria and then Noah.
He slowly lowered Aria's head onto the pillow next to Noah and got out of bed.
He made his way to the door to leave the room. However, his steps came to a halt. He turned his head to look at the twins.
His hands tightened around the doorknob. He drew a deep breath and released the doorknock.
He turned around and walked over to the couch near the bed.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He took out one cigarette and placed it between his lips.
His eyes were once again forced to gaze at the twins. He clenched his teeth around the cigarette.
His hands shook when he put down the cigarette. He threw the cigarette to the floor as if he were in anger. His eyes turned red.
The handsome face that had always caught everyone's attention became more fierce, which could scare any
woman.
The door opened all of a sudden without any knock.
His eyes returned to black as he assumed it was Natalia.
But it was not Natalia who had just entered, but rather his beta, Patric.
Patric glanced at him before closing the door. Patrick's gaze shifted to Noah.
"I heard he is sick," Patric said as he approached the couch.
"Hmm.'
Patric's legs came to a halt as he directed his gaze towards Adrian, scrutinizing him closely. "Adrian?"
Adrian's eyes were on the floor. Walking over to the couch, Patric took a seat beside him. "Ad-"
Adrian lifted his head and turned to him. Patric gulped as he realized how enraged his Alpha was.
"W-What happened?"
Adrian's eyed turned red as he looked into his eyes and replied,
*Find out what Natalia is hiding."
Patric looked at him with a frown. "What are you saying? Why would she hide anything from you? Didn't you notice how happy she was when we returned to the pack?"
Adrian looked away from him and muttered,
"I saw it, but-
He could not finish the sentence as he hissed. With a groan, he grasped his forehead. He was trying to keep his tone low so that the children would not wake up.
Patric's eyes widened. His focus shifted to the bandage wrapping around Adrian's forehead.
He immediately grasped Adrian's arm and said,
"Ad-Adrian, we should-Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Adrian gazed at him, which caused Patric to tremble from inside.
It was because Adrian's red eyes turned glowing brown. It was as if someone had mixed the green color into his red eyes and changed them.
Adrian pushed Patric's hand away from his arm.
"Leave me," he said with a deep, painful voice.
Patric let out a shaky voice.
*A-Alpha!"
He appeared helpless as he witnessed the pain his Alpha and best friend were going through. Adrian clutched the bandage. He almost ripped it, but a voice from the other side interrupted him. 'Dad?"
His hands froze. His eyes turned back to black. He turned his head and saw Noah calling him.
He blinked his eyes a few times and got up from the couch. Patric was stunned by his sudden change. Adrian looked at him as if nothing had happened just now, and he was not in any pain a few seconds ago. "Do you want me to call Qadir?' Patric asked.
"No. The Hansley family will learn about it. This is not something I can involve her or her family in. No matter how powerful she is, this is something beyond her control. Her life is precious to me," Adrian said and made his way to Noah, who was looking at him.
'Adrian-'
Adrian cut Patric off by turning to him with a cold face.
"As I told you before returning to the pack, don't tell her anything about this."
He was about to look away from him but paused and added,
"Go and find out if Natalia is pregnant."
