The wind had quieted by the time they walked back toward the estate. The path curved gently through wild grass and dune flowers, and though they walked close, their hands didn’t touch. Not yet.

Natalie had always been the one who forgave too easily. Who filled the silence between heartbreak and healing with hope. But this time, she needed more than words. More than promises spoken through the haze of guilt and longing.

This time, she would test him.

They reached the guest suite just as the sun began casting golden light across the windows. Natalie stopped at the threshold and turned to face Norwan, studying the lines of his face.

“I’m not inviting you in,” she said evenly. “Not yet.”

“I wasn’t expecting you to,” Norwan replied, voice calm but rough.

She nodded, her gaze searching. “I want to believe you. But belief isn’t trust. And trust…” She exhaled. “Trust is earned.”

“I understand,” he said.

Her eyes narrowed slightly. “Then prove it.”

Norwan lifted his chin. “How?”

  • The Luna's Revenge   Bothered

    The morning breeze was cool, laced with the scent of sea salt and honeyed flowers. Natalie sat on the stone ledge just outside the estate garden, barefoot, her wrap slipping from one shoulder. The sky was still pale with morning light, the world slow to wake—except for Norwan.He stood behind her, arms loose around her waist, chin resting lightly on her shoulder. They weren’t speaking, not really. Just… being.There was something sacred in that quiet. A peace she hadn’t expected to find so soon.“I forgot what this felt like,” he murmured, breath warm against her skin. “Just… existing with you.”“You never really existed with me,” she said, not cruelly—just honest. “You stood beside me. But you were always somewhere else.”Norwan tensed slightly, then nodded. “You’re right.”She reached up, her fingers brushing the side of his hand. “You’re here now.”“I am.”He pressed a kiss to the curve of her neck. It was soft. Unhurried. She didn’t move away.Natalie leaned back against him, and

    The cliffs were quieter now. The wind had lost its bite, and the sky hung in a heavy kind of hush, thick with the weight of words unspoken.Norwan walked beside Drixie, his shoulders hunched, hands shoved into his coat pockets. They hadn’t spoken since leaving the garden—just the crunch of gravel underfoot and the low murmur of distant waves.He didn’t know what to say.Or maybe, he was just afraid of what would come out if he tried.Drixie glanced at him sideways, her steps slowing to match his. “So… we just gonna keep walking until the sun explodes or do you want to talk about it?”Norwan exhaled through his nose. “I don’t know what to say.”“That’s funny. You used to have so much to say when you were telling me I was overreacting about Natalie.”He winced. “Drix…”“I’m not trying to rub salt,” she said, holding up a hand. “I’m trying to remind you that you weren’t exactly a saint either.”His mouth opened, then closed.Drixie stopped walking and leaned against a lichen-covered boul

  • The Luna's Revenge   The Accident

    "I can't believe that witch really did that to you!" Drixie's voice was heard all over the mansion. She was with Cora holding her hands as the doctor examined her and put medication on her wounds."Drixie, calm down." Her brother Norwan said as he looked at the doctor."How is she?" He asked. At that time, Natalie suddenly arrived with her wet dress and wet hair; she was also cold. Drixie saw her and suddenly stood up."You darn bitch!""Drixie!" Norwan called her sister in a severe voice, Drixie stopped and looked terribly at Natalie."How dare you push Cora off the cliff? Are you that desperate to manifest everyone around you?!" Drixie asked Natalie. "I wonder why my brother marries you.""I didn't push her," Natalie said. "I was about to save her that time because she wanted to jump off the cliff," she explained."And now you're lying, huh?" Drixie said and smirked. "Did you think that we would believe in you? How come she wants to jump off that cliff? She's not that crazy, unlike

  • The Luna's Revenge   Kneeling Down

    Natalie can't believe Norwan is willing to terminate their mateship for Cora. Is that how she is really important? He's willing to do anything just for her. This is unbelievable, Natalie can't believe this is happening now. She didn't answer Norwan, she was just looking at him with questioning eyes. "Guards," Norwan called the imperial bodyguard, and the two walked closely to Natalie to take her away from them. They forced Natalie outside the mansion's door and forced her to kneel down. Natalie can't do anything except for crying. Until now, she couldn't believe Norwan would terminate their mateship for Cora.She feels sadness at the same time and anger for Norwan. She's the Luna of the pack, Norwan made a rule that the Luna of the pack can't be forced to kneel down, yet Norwan disregards the rule for Cora, and in addition to that, he is also willing to terminate their mateship for Cora. This is unacceptable!After the imperial guard did their thing, they left Natalie outside while

  • The Luna's Revenge   The Gossip

    Natalie opened her eyes as she woke up, the hospital's white ceiling greeted her first before her best friend, Lynn."Natalie, I'm so glad you're awake now," Lynn said, sitting beside Natalie's hospital bed. Natalie sat down and looked around. "What happened after I fainted? Where are we?" Natalie asked and looked at Lynn again."We're here at the hospital, after Chad received your call, he rushed over to pick you up. But as he arrived at the village, he saw you on the roadside unconscious." Lynn explained. Natalie suddenly remembered how she had left the Mansion, she took a deep breath before asking another question."Where is Chad?" "He's at the nurse station arranging your papers. He also said he would go to buy you food." Lynn answered her. "What happened to you?" This time Lynn asked the question. Natalie didn't know how to explain everything to her best friend. "I... I left the Mansion already." She answered. Lynn frowned because of her answer."It's obvious, Natalie. What I

  • The Luna's Revenge   The Gift she never wanted to give

    “Are you going now?” Lynn asks Natalie and watches her prepare her things. Natalie glances at her and nods before smiling at her; she then puts the ring that Norwan gave her after their mateship one year ago in a small box.“Yes.” She answered and watched the ring in the box for a minute. She never expected in her life that she would have to return this ring to Norwan. For Natalie, this ring signifies his love for her, and this is the special gift she received from him.“What are you going to do? What gift do you say you will give to Norwan?” Lynn asks and sits in front of her friend. Natalie looked at her with a fake smile.“I will give the gift that I never wanted to give,” Natalie said, suddenly remembering how she was happy with Norwan even though it was the opposite of his feelings for her.“I always wanted to be a perfect wife for him and a good wife simultaneously. But knowing these things will happen because of the wrong accusation, I will live alone again, away from him.” Nat

  • The Luna's Revenge   The Broken Luna's dad

    Norwan watched Natalie walk away from him, a smirk formed on his lips while watching her walk away from him. He couldn't believe that Natalie really broke their relationship; for Norwan, this is all stupidity as Natalie chooses to terminate their mateship to say sorry to Cora when in the first place, Norwan was the one who gave that choice to her."If that's really what you want, then go; marrying you was a big mistake in my life… now that our mateship is already terminated, I will pursue Cora now and marry her," Norwan said in his mind and sighed as he no longer saw Natalie."Am I going to pack all her things in your house?" Norwan looks to hiss Beta as it asks the question."Yes, and send it to her place. Don't leave anything from her in her room; do inform the maids to clean it up and move all Cora's things there; that will be Cora's new room." Norwan said as he start to walk away from the Moon Goddess altar.Meanwhile, as Natalie walks away from Norwan, her chest hurts like her he

  • The Luna's Revenge   Faraway from this City

    Natalie is now sipping her tea while her dad is watching her; she then puts down the cup of tea on the table and looks at her dad. After their last conversation about not marrying Norwan, Natalie finally has a chance to talk to her dad and tell him everything that happened to her in Norwan's hand."What are you doing there, Dad?" Natalie suddenly asks as she remembers why her dad showering in the rain. Grego sighed, crossed his arms and legs, and leaned into his chair."Your friend told me your plan, and I followed you; I saw it all and heard it all," Grego said, looking earnestly at his daughter. "I have told you not to marry him. He had no interest in you initially, yet you're the one who wanted this, and now look what happened to you." He said to Natalie, who was now looking down to the floor. If she thinks of it, her dad is correct; if she just listens to her dad, this won't happen to her now."I just… love him, dad. I'm sorry," Natalie said, not even looking into her dad's eye.

    The wind pressed soft against them, as if the world itself was holding its breath. Natalie stayed wrapped in Norwan’s arms a moment longer, grounding herself in the truth of his presence. The weight of him. The warmth. The subtle, quiet tremble in his chest.When she finally pulled back, it was not with anger or accusation, but with a kind of clarity that only came after everything else had burned away.“I need to ask you something,” she said.Norwan nodded, gaze steady.Natalie’s voice was low, but firm. “Do you really love me? Or was Cora right?”The name hit like a stone between them. Norwan’s jaw tightened, and he exhaled, ragged and slow.“She told me you never did,” Natalie continued, heart thudding. “That I was just… a choice. Strategic. Convenient. That you only wanted me for what I represented.”His eyes didn’t leave hers. “She lied.”“You’re sure?”“I’m sure.” He stepped back just enough to frame her face gently with his hands, thumbs brushing her cheekbones. “Natalie, Cora

  • The Luna's Revenge   Win Back

    The morning after the wedding was softer than the one before. The sun rose gently through sheer curtains, birdsong drifting in through the open window of Natalie’s guest suite. The scent of saltwater hung faint in the air, and for the first time in days, Lisanne was quiet.Natalie stood in the middle of the room, staring at the small suitcase she’d packed with practiced precision. Folded dresses, her journal, the shell necklace Lynn had given her years ago, and the lavender wrap she wore to the ceremony—all tucked away with a sense of finality.She wasn’t running. At least, not in the way she once had. This time, she was simply… leaving. Ready to return home. Or something close to it.But even as she zipped the bag closed, her chest ached.He didn’t come.That thought had rooted itself in her bones, playing on a loop since last night. She hadn’t expected a grand apology. Not a scene or a speech. But part of her, the part that still dreamed, had hoped Norwan might appear. That he’d wal

  • The Luna's Revenge   Lynn's Wedding

    Lisanne’s gardens were bursting with color—sun-drenched and vibrant beneath the clear spring sky. Wild roses danced on trellises, and soft ribbons fluttered in the breeze, tied with care around every chair and bouquet. It was the kind of day stories were written about, with sunlight painting the world gold and laughter hanging in the air like music.Natalie stood among the crowd, smiling as the guests turned toward the aisle. She wasn’t dressed to stand out—simple, elegant, quiet in lavender silk—but something about her presence still drew eyes. Maybe it was the way she carried herself: not like someone trying to blend in, but like someone who had learned how to exist, even with ghosts whispering at her heels.When the music swelled, and everyone rose to their feet, Natalie’s breath caught.There, at the end of the aisle, stood Chad.His suit was a sharp slate gray, tailored to perfection, but his composure was anything but. His shoulders trembled. His lips parted like he couldn’t bel

    Norwan stood on the balcony of his family’s estate, high above the rugged cliffs of Darien Bay, the wind whipping through his dark hair like a restless spirit. The sky was low and brooding, pregnant with the promise of rain. Below, the sea churned violently, crashing into the rocks with a rhythm that matched the storm inside his chest.It had been weeks since he’d heard from Drixie, but her last message echoed in his head more persistently than any memory.“She’s in Lisanne. For the wedding.”Natalie.Even now, her name struck him like a blade, swift and unforgiving. It lingered on his tongue like a secret, unsaid. She was a ghost in his every room, in every corner of his mind. Since the day she left, everything had dimmed. The estate that once buzzed with activity now felt hollow, echoing with absence instead of laughter. He no longer visited the garden, the kitchen remained untouched, and the bed felt too large, too cold.And yet—he hadn’t followed her. He hadn’t gone after the only

  • The Luna's Revenge   Forgiveness

    The wedding was only a week away, and Lisanne’s seaside charm seemed to buzz with anticipation. Colorful streamers adorned the winding streets, laughter spilled from the cafes, and the scent of fresh flowers drifted through the air like a promise of something new. Natalie, though still battling waves of uncertainty, was slowly letting herself be carried by the tide of change. There were moments—quiet ones—where she almost felt like herself again.She was helping Lynn organize some last-minute decorations in the garden behind the café where they first met as teenagers when the subject came up.“By the way,” Lynn said casually, fluffing a white hydrangea centerpiece, “Drixie’s coming.”Natalie’s hands stilled over a stack of place cards. “Drixie?” she repeated, heart skipping. “As in… Norwan’s sister?”Lynn nodded, a wary glance flickering in Natalie’s direction. “Yeah. I hope that’s okay. I know it’s… complicated. But we’ve kept in touch, and she reached out after she heard about the w

  • The Luna's Revenge   Lynn

    Natalie stared out at the vast ocean, her feet sinking into the soft sand beneath her. The early morning sky was painted with shades of pale lavender and pink, and the distant horizon seemed to stretch endlessly, the line between sky and sea almost imperceptible. It was a view that should’ve brought peace to her frayed nerves, but instead, it only deepened the knot in her stomach.The flight from the seaside town had been smooth, and as soon as she’d arrived in Lisanne, a wave of nostalgia had hit her. She hadn’t been back here since… well, since everything had unraveled. But now, as she walked through the bustling streets lined with cafes and boutiques, she felt like an outsider in her own life.Lynn was waiting for her at a quaint café by the waterfront, a place they used to visit all the time back when life had been simpler, when their biggest worries had been late-night study sessions and the latest gossip. Now, Lynn’s smile was warmer, more radiant—though there was a softness in
