Chapter 31 Eric put the call on speakerphone.
"Is my ex-wife with you?" Adrian asked the moment Eric received the call.
It was the sway that he always spoke toin the past; his voice was cold and harsh.
Eric gavea quick glance. Then, in response, I gave him a nod.
"Yes, she's right next to me," Eric replied.
1 "Is Natalia really with you?" Again, Adrian questioned him as if he did not trust what he was saying.

After hearing him, I was filled with wrath. Did he think Eric was lying to him? Why would he? The only thing I wanted was to find out the reason behind his calling.
Instead of Eric, I replied to Adrian, "What else, Alpha Adrian?" Adrian was caught off guard by my abrupt engagement in conversation. He remained quiet for a while before finally breaking his silence and said, "I would advise you two not to be so pushy. We haven't gone through the official rejection ceremony yet." I grabbed the phone from Eric's hand and said, "Reject ceremony? You never marked me, so forget about it." "But unfortunately, my nwas merged with yours. So we have to arrange this ceremony for my pack." I immediately clenched my fists as soon as he spoke the word "unfortunately." I pondered over the depth of the affection I had for him, only to have it go unnoticed by him. I did not forget the twhen I asked him to refrain from discussing divorce, but all he wanted was forto leave his How could someone be so ignorant of another person's love that they beccompletely blind to it? From the very beginning, all he wanted was forto disengage from him.
"You are such a scumbag!" I let out in anger.
"Stop talking nonsense and cback to the Crystal Blood Pack 1/3 +15 BONUS "Why would I care about any kind of ceremony? After all these years, now you remember about this ceremony?" I asked while shaking my head.
He was such a cheap person! As if straight out of a tic plot line, just when he thought I had moved on with my life, he suddenly decided to organize a humiliating rejection ceremony.
"Don't forget that you are still, nominally, the gamma's daughter, so you have to show srespect for your father and our pack." he reminded me, thinking that I was still afraid of my stepfather.
I laughed at his way of speaking. "You don't have to be concerned about my father, Alpha Adrian. I am going to deal with him in my own way.
"Yeah, sure. I am already aware of the way in which you handled the situation." It causedto scowl when he stated that.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Adrian kept quiet for a brief second. I understood that he might be smoking.
That man was someone I knew quite well. He was not only the person I had married but also the man I used to love the most. So 1 was aware of his every move. "Why did you post that?" He asked a question that leftbewildered. I turned my head toward Eric.
"He is talking about the post you wrote about his darling," Eric reminded me. He said it out loud to let Adrian know that he was still there.
"Listen, Alpha Adrian. Your girlfriend was the one who initially provokedby breaking the news of the conversation that took place betweenand my stepfather." I told him. "What rubbish! Why would she do that?" I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, how can she do that? She is your moonflower." Eric started to laugh while sitting in my chair. It cto my attention that he was grabbing my coffee mug. He took a few sips of it.

Eric grinned to himself as he glanced at me. "It's okay." I heard Adrian's low growl coming from the phone. "You two are such shameless people!"
I had enough of this man. He had by could b destroyed my life. talk so proudly? "You took Lyrida to live with us within our marriage. Though I was the one who organized the 2/3 +15 BONUS
papers and signed them first, don't forget who forcedto sign divorce papers. Now you are talking about respect? Did you have any regard forwhen you did all that?" There was a period of silence from Adrian. Inside of me, my heart was pounding really fast. The man was trying to provoke me, but I did not want to talk to him. Why was he doing that? "It's about the pack, and it's Luna's position." Adrian muttered. "Why should I care about your pack now? After all, I even gave up Luna's position to Lynda!" Eric gavea thumbs up and took a sip of coffee from the mug again.
His satisfaction was evident as he listened to my conversation with Adrian. He looked pleased by the way I was replying to mye husband. My voice was equally cold, the sas Adrain's. Adrian's voice breathed a bit of fatigue, "My father is sick, and he is currently in the hospital. He is clamoring to see you. He said he would not take his medication without seeing you. My chest becquite tight. Despite the fact that Adrian and I had gone our separate ways, his father had been very kind toduring the years that we were married.
In spite of his strict nature, he never failed to showsupport and respect. It was always his intention to correct his son for the way he treated me. Just thinking about him lying in the hospital bed causedto experience a range of emotions.
"In your pack hospital, right? I'll be over to visit him as soon as I can." I replied to him and cut the call immediately.
