Alpha's Twins Chapter 76

**Adrian's POV**

When everyone started gathering near the stage, Patrick asked me to head over there. On my way, Lynda caught up with me, and we walked together.

Since it was time for the big announcement, people were buzzing with excitement to finally see the Blue Blood Pack's princess.

I'd almost forgotten about her—my mind was stuck on Natalia. I pushed those thoughts away and tried to focus on the stage.

But when Alpha Martin called his daughter up, my world tilted completely.

I squinted at the stage. How the hell was this even possible?

Was I dreaming? Was I so messed up that I was seeing Natalia where someone else should be standing?

I looked away and shook my head. Maybe I'd had too much to drink—that's why I was still thinking about her.

But when Alpha Martin spoke again, my blood ran cold.

"Here's my daughter, Jessica, but I'd like you all to call her Natalia Martin. My daughter prefers that name, so I had it changed for her."

I slowly turned back to the stage. There she was—Natalia.

She was smiling at the crowd, standing between Alpha Martin and his wife, Jade Martin.

How could she possibly be an Alpha's daughter? Not just any Alpha—the former head Alpha of the Blue Blood Pack!

"Impossible!"

I heard an angry whisper from my left. I recognized Lynda's voice, though she was trying to keep it low. But I couldn't tear my eyes away from the woman in black standing proudly on that stage.

I watched her biological parents embrace her. Everyone applauded.

When Alpha Jason walked over and stood next to Natalia, my eyes went wide.

The realization hit me like a freight train.

*I accused her about her own brother! Fuck!* I cursed myself mentally.

"I think something's wrong. How can she be from a royal family? She doesn't look—"

I whipped my head toward Lynda. My glare cut her off mid-sentence.

Her eyes widened, and she looked away.

"You're the one who gave me those photos," I said, anger seeping into my voice.

"Adrian, I didn't know this would happen."

"Didn't you say your friend overheard them talking about spending the night together?"

"I—I..." Lynda stammered and dropped her head. I wanted to growl at her, but Patrick grabbed my arm and pulled me aside.

"Everyone's watching you. What the hell are you doing?" Patrick asked.

I glanced around and saw several Alphas looking in our direction.

"Screw them."

I clenched my fists as rage consumed me.

"Look, I know this is shocking. I'm stunned too. I never thought she was a head Alpha's daughter. The Blue Blood Pack isn't some small-time operation—they're our rivals."

I shot him a hard look. His eyebrows shot up.

"What? Are you regretting divorcing an Alpha's daughter?"

I frowned at him. "Do you really think I give a damn about her family's status?"

"Then what's got you so pissed off?"

I glanced back at Natalia. She was chatting with some Alphas as her brother Jason introduced her around.

"She helped my dad with the cure, and I completely misjudged her."

Patrick stayed quiet for a moment, probably figuring it was better to keep his mouth shut.

Finally, he broke the silence, whispering, "This is all Lynda's fault."

I looked around for Lynda but couldn't spot her anywhere.

I felt like crap for snapping at her earlier. She was innocent in all this.

"It's her friend's fault. Find out which one of her friends was tailing Natalia that night."

"You'll have to ask her about that."

"I've got all the security footage. Check it out. Find out who was there. Get me their identities."

"Got it," Patrick replied, already dialing someone to look into it.

I took a deep breath and walked over to the group of Alphas talking with Natalia.

When Alpha Jason saw me approaching, he raised an eyebrow. Whatever he was feeling inside, he kept it professional in front of the other Alphas and greeted me.

"Alpha Adrian."

The other Alphas looked surprised when they turned to see me. They stepped aside to make room.

"Good to see you, Alpha Adrian," one of them said. The others bowed.

I couldn't help but smirk. Some Alphas ruled their own packs, and their members had to bow to them without question. Then there were Alphas like me who controlled multiple packs, which meant other Alphas had to show respect.

I nodded at them and looked at Alpha Jason, who stood tall and proud—no bowing from him since he commanded one of the largest pack networks.

"Alpha Jason," I returned his greeting. My gaze slowly shifted to Natalia standing beside him.

She was watching me, studying my reaction like she was trying to read my mind. I wasn't about to give her the satisfaction.

I smiled and extended my hand toward her.

"So you're the lost princess of this pack—Jessica Martin."

She glanced at my outstretched hand. Before she could respond, her brother intercepted and shook my hand instead, blocking his sister.

I focused on him. I could see the anger burning in his eyes.

"Alpha Adrian, glad to see you here. But I'm very protective of my sister." He released my hand with that warning.

"You mean overprotective?" I muttered.

He chuckled, but his words came out sharp and threatening.

"Actually, she's been through hell because of someone who didn't deserve her. I've always wondered how he'd face me when the time came. But then I figured no one could be that shameless, right? If I see him hurt my sister again, nothing will stop me from putting him in his place."
