Nathan’s POV.

I couldn’t let Lunaria go alone to meet the angry crowd. They were furious, desperate for answers about the plague that had been killing our people. I knew how dangerous they could be when emotions ran high.

“Lunaria,” I said firmly, “if you’re going, you’re not going alone.”

She looked at me with her usual determination. “Nathan, I’ll be fine. They need to see I’m here to help.”

But I wondered if she was crazy. These crowds could get very dangerous and I didn’t want anything to happen to her.

Not only would her father kill me, I wouldn’t forgive myself for failing to protect her a second time.

I would not let that happen.

“No,” I said, shaking my head. “You need protection. If something happens, I won’t forgive myself. You came here to help us, is that not so?”

“Yes but…”

“I will have someone follow you. You will have guards around you all the time to make sure nothing happens to you. Your father is a Lycan. Being an enemy to your father is a suicide mission.”

    Lunaria’s POV.I had seen how the crowd had looked at me after I had introduced myself as they were shocked to have me here.It was shocking but I kept my cool.Maybe they were happy to see me or something but the murmurs I had heard made me know that I had had an impact on this pack in the past and it made me feel like maybe coming here was the right call.The whole crowd had been unsettled, the rumblings and murmurings increased but this time not with agitation but with confusion. They looked confused as though they had seen a ghost and this made me very confused.I was glad Nathan had stepped in and I was back in the room before anything could have happened. As I walked into the room, my thoughts were all over the place. My mind kept replaying what had just happened. The people outside had asked me if I was the same Lunaria from their pack. Their words made me feel uneasy, like there was a part of my life I had forgotten.What could they mean? What had happened to me before?I p

    Lunaria’s POV.I froze, my heart pounding in my chest. My hands shook as I stared at my phone, replaying Mendy’s words over and over in my head. Liam was sick. My little boy needed me. Panic rose in my throat, and I could barely breathe.Nathan stepped closer, his voice calm but firm. “Lunaria, what’s wrong? What happened?”I turned to him, tears welling up in my eyes. “I need to go,” I said.“Wait,” he sighed. “What is it?” I asked in frustration as he got close to me.“What is going on?”“It isn’t your business. I just need to get out of here.”I was clearly only concerned about my son. This man and his pack right now could burn for all I cared. I didn’t care about finding whatever truth was there or finding whatever answer that was out there. I just wanted to save Liam. I wanted Liam to be safe.My heart hurt from this and I tried my best to stop from breaking down.He placed his hands on my shoulder to calm me and even when I tried fighting him off he smiled and remained calm wh

    Nathan’s POV.Everything I could think of, I did to calm Lunaria down but it was to no avail as she kept shifting on her seat as she fiddled with her fingers. The moment we arrived at the Kingdom, she surged forward, “Please can you hurry up a bit.” She said in a breath. “Relax, we will arrive at the hospital soon.” I replied, casting her a swift glance before returning my gaze to the road ahead. Somehow, she seemed to have calmed down only for her phone to start ringing. “Hey Mendy!” She gulped. I didn't get to hear their conversation but the person on the other end must have instilled a lot of fear into her. “Please…” “Relax.” I cut her off as I was getting a little angry. Her worry was making me lose focus and I didn't want to worsen the situation at hand by getting into an accident. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you.” I mumbled but she didn't say anything to me, instead she recoiled and then resumed fiddling with her fingers. The moment I pulled up in the parking l

    Nathan's POVWhat was he doing here? — I yelled in my head, glaring at him with my hands clenched by my side. “We asked him to wait in the lobby… he is heading to the waiting room right now.” The receptionist said in a breath. Shifting his attention from the receptionist to me, he said, “You should have done that the moment she asked you to.” Nodding behind him, he said, “I intentionally stayed back wondering what was going on here.” He added, causing me to roll my eyes at him. “What do you want? I might be able to help you.” He shrugged and with a deep frown etched on my face, I imitated his intimidating pose, pushing my hands into my pockets.“Why should I tell you? It's not as if we are close acquaintances to be having this kind of conversation.” I snarled at him. My anger at the moment was not because I was denied entrance by the receptionist, instead, it was his presence. He must have learnt that Lunaria was in the hospital and so he had come to meet with her and Liam. The

    Nathan's POV.“Why are you wearing a laboratory coat?” This was the first question I asked immediately I got to her side. “It's nothing serious.” She replied but I wasn't going to believe her that easily and also, in contrast to the way she had acted about half an hour ago, she seemed relatively calm. “Tell me what happened.” I rapped. “I’m sorry I couldn't go after you, I was denied entrance.” I ratted out, not like I was blaming anybody. Immediately, she turned towards the receptionist who was already staring at us; she must have been eavesdropping on our conversation. “Why was that?” Lunaria asked with a calm tone but the look on her face showed that she was disappointed with her action. With a bowed head, the receptionist said, “Pardon me, I have no excuse to give.” She said only to turn to me and with a bowed head, said, “Pardon me Alpha Nathan, I had no idea of your identity before now.” Before I could inquire on how she got to know who I was, I remembered when Lunaria had

    Nathan’s POV.I couldn't believe what I had just heard like it sounded so ridiculous in my ears. Henry had claimed that Lunaria was his wife, and I needed to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.If I hadn’t been interacting with Lunaria, I could have believed it because he made it look so serious, in fact, someone who didn’t know their relationship would believe Henry right away. Not being able to watch him behave that way, I clenched my fist in anger and jealousy and stared intently at him as I spoke up."Excuse me, Henry?" I asked, trying to keep my tone neutral even as I was burning inside. How dare he claim my Lunaria as his. He looked up as my voice caught his attention, he had this amusing look in his eyes that irritated me further. "Could you repeat what you just said?" I said to him, fixing my eyes on him like I was ready to throw a punch the seconds he repeated himself.Henry smiled proudly as he eyed me, his eyes gleaming with a possessiveness that made my skin crawl and my i

    Lunaria’s POV.After seeing the doctor who told me Liam was going to be fine, I returned to the ward to find Henry sitting with Liam, he was talking with him while Nathan stood by their side engrossed in his phone.“How was the meeting with the doctor?” Henry rushed towards me to ask immediately after I came in and I rolled my eyes feeling like he was becoming too intrusive.“Well, it was fine. He said Liam was going to be fine. The allergy is already disappearing and his body system would be fine,” I explained, folding my hand across my chest, making sure to stand some meters away from Liam who was playing on the bed, and Alpha Nathan who hadn't noticed my presence. He seemed really busy and I didn't blame him because he had spent almost all his day with us.“Okay, reduce my worry then,” Henry said in relief and then took my hands.“Don't ever be anxious like you were earlier with the situation with the nurse, it will only deteriorate your health and when such an emergency occurs, do

    Nathan’s POV.I watched Lunaria as she interacted with Liam, her eyes shining with warmth and care. Later she asked me to accompany her to go fetch him some snacks, and I left with her to a grocery shop outside the hospital. Our steps were slow, as if she had a lot on her mind, just as I did.I didn't know what she was thinking, but I kept stealing glances to check on her facial expression, to see if she was okay. She's someone who badly conceals how she feels; it mainly shows on her face - if she's angry, irritated, or even sad.Watching her kept my mind busy for a while, but I didn't know when I went off track, and my mind started thinking about our earlier conversation. She was a doctor, a professional with expertise that could greatly benefit the pack. But somehow, I still wondered when and how she became one.I could remember she always mentioned how she wanted to be a doctor, but then it was too late. When I realized she was my mate, she refused to go to school to further her st

    Nathan's POV.Slowly, I was losing my mind. When Mendy brought the news at first, I refused to believe that Lunaria had gone missing in her kingdom. At once, memories came rushing in as it was the same way she had disappeared only for me to find her after six years of intense search.“This doesn't look good a bit,” I muttered, tugging on my hair as I darted my eyes around. Getting missing in her own kingdom was suspicious and I couldn't push it off. Whoever it is that had orchestrated this must be very brave. Abducting the heiress of the Lycan Kingdom was only what someone with two heads could pull off.The King wasn't going to allow this to pass just like that.Shaking these thoughts off my head, I decided to focus on the present and that was Henry, whom she had gone out with the previous day. To others, his tale was believable but not to me as I felt there was more to it. And to make me doubt him even more was the fact that he was nowhere around here. Even though he isn't going

    Author’s POV.For a moment, Sarah stood rooted to the spot as she watched the intense discussion between them. At first, she thought they were talking about how to rescue her but when she got to know it was the opposite, her lips parted into a large smile. The duo turned out to be Agatha and Lillian. When the news came to them the previous night, their joy knew no bounds as they were going to get what they had always wanted and that was to throw her out of the palace.While the Lycan King was trying to come up with ways on how to find her, Agatha kept pumping into him that she had gone to be with her lover. This got the King furious but there was nothing he could do about it as he didn't have proof and he even became skeptical about the search. If it turned out that what Agatha was saying was true, the entire Kingdom was going to hear about it and it would be almost impossible for her to take over the throne. With her hands crossed on her chest, Lillian pouted, “Father will have

    Author’s POV.When Sarah noticed that the pack was the busiest that day, she became curious, itching to find out what was happening or what had happened. Her curiosity was quenched when the maid told Nathan the situation of things and immediately, her heart began to throb with joy. With her eyes glinting in excitement, she was already on the verge of screaming her lungs out but somehow, she was able to contain it. “No! This can't be happening.” She blurted, grabbing Nathan by his shoulder as she doubled over, a wince escaping her lips. “This can't be happening, Nathan! An event from six years ago… it can't repeat itself.” She ratted out, her eyes pooling with tears. Nathan held her shoulder and slowly, he led her to a quiet area, trying to pacify her and at the same time himself. The news had come to him as a rude awakening and so his thoughts were all over the place. “Calm down, the guards are going to find her.” Nathan had said this to comfort her and comfort himself too. “T

    Nathan’s POV.The moment I heard the words “Lunaria is missing,” my world stopped. I stared at Mendy, my mind racing as if it was trying to catch up with what she had just said. Missing? How could she be missing? My chest tightened painfully, and I had to take a deep breath to steady myself.I looked at Mendy, expecting her to clarify, to say something that made this all make sense. “What do you mean she’s missing?” I asked, my voice low but filled with urgency. “What happened? Where did she go?”Mendy hesitated, wringing her hands nervously, but she eventually explained, “Lunaria went out for dinner with Henry last night. After that… she didn’t come back.”The mention of Henry sent another jolt through me. My jaw clenched at the thought of her being out with him. My emotions were a tangled mess of worry, anger, and jealousy. If she was with him, surely he’d know something. Surely he’d be the first person to ask about her.“Did anyone talk to Henry?” I asked sharply, trying to stay ca

    Nathan’s POV.I woke up to the sensation of pain pulsating through my hand; it must have been sleeping. I rubbed at it as I sat upright, slowly working out the kinks in my body and finding that my neck was stiff from having slept awkwardly. Blinking twice, I strained to recall why I was there and what had occurred before I had gone to sleep.I was still inside of my office, the desktop scattered with sheets of paper—crinkle-edged or else perfectly flat.Right, I had stayed up pretty late last night researching a cure for the epidemic sweeping through our pack. I guess I must have overdone it because next thing I knew, I’d fallen over and slept.I sighed and dropped to my knees, collecting all of the papers that had fallen and making sure they were straight before stacking them back neatly together. My desk was a mess as normal but I liked everything in place before beginning my day.With a last second thought, I reached for the drawer to put them before my cell phone vibrated against

    Lunaria’s POV.I was so livid I could barely see straight. My chest heaved as I remembered glaring across the table at Henry. His expression was calm, almost smug as if he truly believed what he’d just said made sense.“How could you even suggest that, Henry?” I hissed, my voice trembling with disbelief. “You know how much Liam means to me! He’s my son—my world! And you want me to leave him behind? Stay in my father’s palace while I move in with you?”I could still see myself walking away from him as he called for me to wait for him but I didn’t care about him. It was clear he had chosen what he wanted to do. I wasn’t the choice he wanted. “Lunaria, wait!” Henry called, scrambling to stand up, but just then, one of the waiters approached him with the bill. He hesitated, glancing between me and the waiter.I didn’t wait for him to decide. I stormed out of the restaurant without looking back. The cool night air hit my face as I stepped outside, but it did little to calm my racing heart

    Nathan's POV.I had picked up my coat to leave when a call came in. I wanted to ignore it, but it was from my manager. So, I had to accept it and turned around to head to my desk to sit down."Good day, Alpha," my manager said over the phone. "I was called to remind you that the project will be needed soon by the review team to help you arrange it well. Are you done so I can put them together after editing?"I sighed as I looked at the wet papers on my desk, a mess courtesy of Sarah's tantrum. I clenched my left fist as her behavior popped into my mind. She was insane, and it was becoming sickening."Okay, it should be ready soon. I'm almost done. Await my call and instructions," I replied after a few seconds of silence, and the call came to an end.My eyes blazed with frustration as I stared at the wet papers scattered across my desk. The wine Sarah had poured on them had ruined hours of work. I couldn't believe her audacity and how better she was getting at it these days. She barely

    Author’s POV.Sarah stood in the dimly lit alley, her eyes fixed on the man before her. She had come to do exactly what she needed to do before Lunaria took her place. How could she watch her sway Nathan so much already after what happened? She had tried to separate them before just for them to come back together again and her plan was about to get crushed beyond repair and she won’t allow that. Knowing that Kunaria was her problem she knew she had to remove her in any way possible and this time, there won’t be any mistakes.She handed him a folder containing Lunaria's pictures she had hired someone to take."I want her taken care of, make sure she doesn’t survive anything you have in mind for her. I don’t want to see her ever again and if I do, you will pay for it. Remember I will only give you your balance when you carry out your job properly,” she whispered, her voice dripping with contempt.“I hope you can do the job. I ain’t asking too much, right?

    Lunaria's POV.I stood in my room, torn between two desires. A part of me longed to call Henry and cancel our dinner plans, just so I could spend more time with Nathan. But another part of me knew I couldn't keep putting Henry off for the reason I couldn’t tell. I wanted to spend more time with Nathan, I wanted him around, to see his face again and hear him speak. I enjoy how much he cares about every little detail that concerns me like he knew me and I was very precious to him. I couldn’t deny the attraction I was growing towards Nathan, it was like a glimpse of him brings joy to my heart, and having him around seemed like I was being protected and cherished but sadly, I had committed to this dinner with Henry which I couldn’t just all of a sudden.My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. It was Mendy, who came to inform me that Henry had arrived and I sighed wishing he would have delayed a little bit longer. I quickly brushed my hair, applied some lip gloss, and headed d
