Alpha's Twins Chapter 152

**Adrian's POV**

The drive back to Crystal Blood Pack territory wasn't going smoothly. My head was spinning with all the bullshit Natalia had fed me over the years.

How could any woman be that shameless? She'd played me for a fool about my own damn kids.

My chest tightened thinking about how close I'd come to letting my children grow up with some other guy's last name. If I hadn't stumbled onto the truth last night...

She was one hell of a manipulator. Had been planning this con for years.

"Congratulations!"

My beta's voice cut through my thoughts from the passenger seat.

I shot him a death glare.

He threw his hands up. "Jesus, I was just congratulating you. Why are you biting my head off?"

"Not the time," I muttered.

He sighed and nodded. "Look, I get it, Adrian. But man, I watched you tear yourself apart trying to find the truth. You were a wreck when that DNA test came back saying they weren't yours. But deep down? Your heart knew those were your kids, even when your head was all messed up by whatever spell she had on you."

Something clicked in my brain, and I barked at my driver, "Pull over."

"What? Why?" Patrick looked confused.

"I said pull the fuck over!" I shouted at the driver, who immediately swerved to the shoulder.

I turned to Patrick. "Find the witch who's been helping her hide my kids from me."

He looked like I'd just asked him to find Bigfoot.

"Move your ass."

He fumbled for his phone and called one of his contacts - some old witch from Blue Blood Pack territory who owed him favors.

"Old Physician? Qadir?"

After a few minutes, Patrick hung up and looked at me.

"She says it's not a witch. It's a wizard named Qadir. Apparently he's some kind of royal family pet. Their go-to guy whenever they're in deep shit."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Are you kidding me? What is he, some carnival fortune teller? If this guy's so good at solving problems, how come he didn't warn them they were about to get their asses kicked in the war? How'd Jason end up making that deal with that piece of shit Leo?"

Patrick stared at me for a long moment, then said quietly, "Don't underestimate him. The guy's got real power. His spell kept those kids hidden for years. He's not some street corner fraud."

I rolled my eyes and nodded. "Fine. Where's he live?"

"Old mansion on Ranking Street."

I glanced at my driver, who was obviously listening to every word.

"Quit eavesdropping and drive. Take us there."

"Y-Yes, Alpha."

The driver snapped back to attention and pulled onto the road, heading for our new destination.

I stared out the window as cold air whipped through the car, hitting the raw spots on my chest and reminding me of her betrayal.

*Time to meet your little helper who had the balls to help you pull this shit.*
