Chapter 23

Third POV

Adrian was looking at those men who were approaching Natalia.

As Natalia moved to the side, she cast a quick glance in their direction and shook her head. They laughed at her because they believed that they were able to capture her at this moment.

Adrian lowered his head to look at Natalia. He noticed that her eyes were teary. She looked lost. She did not look like the confident lady he had met last night.

Her expression infuriated him. The men caught his attention.

They bent to touch their knees. They let out a puff, and one of them remarked, "Dude, she's ours."

"Yours?" Adrian muttered as he questioned.

"She is pretending to be innocent. I am willing to bet that she is wandering around here in search of a wealthy Alpha to have sex with. We are not rich, so she is acting now. But we have something else to give her, you know."

As soon as Adrian heard the man, he growled at them. It was a loud growl.

It shook everyone to the core. Natalia did her best not to submit to him. But those men bowed their heads in submission and fell to their knees. "Did they touch you?" Adrian asked Natalia with a deep voice while looking at the men.

Since Natalia was at a loss for words, she remained silent.

"I said did they touch you?" Adrian yelled in anger.

Natalia's body jerked by his yell. "Y-Yes," she responded as tears streamed down her cheeks.

In reaction, Adrian clenched his jaw. Afterward, he inquired once. more, "Where?"

While Natalia was looking at him, she was under the impression that he had come to humiliate her. She found him no better than
