Natalie stops, and her hands shake when she sees the pictures inside the envelope Norwan gave her. Natalie looks up to Norwan with her shocked eyes and looks back to the photos in front of you. “What the heck is this?” Natalie asked while looking at the photos. Norwan sighed and examined Natalie’s expression. He knows that she’s hurt at this moment, but that’s the truth. He can’t do anything to undo the pain she’s feeling right now.“I ordered someone to follow Chad around, and he found out that his mistress is that person in the photo where Chad is also there,” Norwan said. Norwan could see the pain in Natalie’s eyes, and he knew at that moment that Natalie couldn’t process all the information he gave to her. “Are you pranking me?” Natalie asked and looked at Norwan, but he shook his head and sighed. Natalie’s tears fall, which Norwan also witnessed.“She’s the one?” Natalie asked and weakly sat in her chair while holding the pictures.“What the heck…” she added and started to cry.
Chad drinks the liquor in his glass and looks at the photo of him with Natalie, and this is the photo taken by Lynn when he became Natalie’s boyfriend. This is also the day when Lynn confessed her feelings for Chad.“Can I talk to you, Chad?” Natalie asked. That’s why Chad looked at her and nodded. Natalie stands up from her seat and starts to walk. Chad follows her. Natalie stops on the balcony. That’s why Chad stopped and stood up from her back. Natalie looks at him and smiles.“What’s the matter, My lady,” Chad asked. Natalie shook her head and looked up to the sky.“The moon is beautiful isn’t it?” Natalie asked that’s why Chad looked up to the moon and smiled. “Yes, my lady.” He said, so Natalie laughed. That’s why Chad looked at her once again.“Silly, I didn’t know I was about to explain things to you.” She said that’s why Chad frowned and bowed his head.“Sorry, my lady, please explain what you meant to say?” Chad asked, and that’s why Natalie laughed even more.“What I meant
Natalie sits before her makeup table and looks at herself in the mirror. She then grabbed the mini comb before her and combed her hair. She’s wearing red lipstick and light makeup. A smirk starts to form on her lips while she’s looking at her reflection.A few minutes after that, her phone rang, that’s why she grabbed it and answered the call. “How is she?” Natalie asked as soon as she answered the call.“I already did what you want me to do.” The man said in the other line. That’s why Natalie smirked and stood up from her chair.“Good, now clean all the mess, and let’s meet later.” She said before she hung up the call. A wide smile forms on her lips as she starts to walk.On the other hand, Cora is waiting for Norwan to be home. She’s been waiting for him for almost two hours, yet no Norwan is arriving. That’s why she decided to go inside and wait for Norwan in the living room instead of staying with him outside.“Cora, I will just go to the office. Mom calls me, and she needs backu
After hearing where Lynn is, Natalie goes to the same place where Lynn is confined and secretly sneaks into her room. A cold aura is plotted on Natalie’s face while looking for Lynn’s room. She didn’t know what exactly she would show if she saw Lynn. Is she going to pity her or be mad at her? Natalie is in a state of mixed emotions as she knows that Lynn is in the hospital because of her, but at the same time, regret is in Natalie’s mind now, knowing that Lynn is pregnant and she didn’t know about it.A sigh came from Natalie first before she opened the door where Lynn was and saw Lynn sleeping peacefully. And she held the doorknob so tight as she was looking at Lynn. Her anger started to eat her again while she was looking at Lynn’s face. Natalie felt that whenever she looked at her, she reminded her of Chad’s actions.“I fucking hate you, Lynn,” Natalie whispered before she fully entered the door. As Natalie enters the hospital room where Lynn is confined, she looks and watches Lynn
Chad looked to Natalie’s mansion before he went out to his car. He then walks towards the gate and rings the doorbell as he’s already in front of the gate. Chad then waits for a second before someone opens the gate for him.“Sir Chad….” The maid said and blocked his way. “I am sorry, but Ms Natalie told us not to let you in her house.” It added, so Chad sighed and nodded as he understood that they were doing their job.“Is she here?” Chad asked. The maid nodded and looked at him.“I will call her for you, sir.” The maid said before she closed the gate again and went to Natalie’s room. Chad waited outside for almost three minutes before Natalie went out to face him. A cold aura welcomed Chad as soon as Natalie stepped outside. “What do you need?” Natalie asked coldly, and Chad could see how much he hurt Natalie. The way he talked to him and the way she looked at him made him wonder if he could still have her forgiveness.“I came here to talk to you about Lynn,” Chad said directly, so
Norwan enters the meeting room, where the seven circle members are sitting on their chairs and waiting for him. All of them are looking at him once he enters the room. Norwan’s eyes lend to Natalie’s place, where she sits beside his chair. “As expected, she’s the new member of the circle who replaced her dad after being crowned as the new Alpha of their pack,” Norwan said to himself and smiled shortly to Natalie before he went in front of everyone.“What’s with the sudden meeting?” The Alpha of the East pack asked as soon as Norwan went in front of everyone.“Is there something wrong?” The Cann Alpha asked. Norwan looked at everyone, including Natalie.“I called every one of you as I received news that the South pack declared war between their clan and our Clan,” Norwan said, so everyone in the room started to whisper, not including Natalie, who was looking at him and listening.“What was the reason?” Simonn, the Alpha of the West pack, asked. Norwan looked at him for a second before
Natalie enters the golden door, and behind her is her assistant, with two bodyguards wearing the same black suit. A smile formed on Natalie's lips as soon as she saw the Alpha of the South Pack, Treodor, a female Alpha who has advocated to protect women and defend every woman not only in their pack and tribe but also around the world, that is why the South Pack is known for this generous advocacy."What's the matter? You visited me here today, Ms. Natalie." She asked and welcomed Natalie with a warm hug and kisses on her lips. Natalie looks into her eyes and smiles as she examines how beautiful Treodor is."I am shocked and at the moment of surprise right now as I was given a chance to see the goddess in real life," Natalie said, which caused Treodor to chuckle and tap her shoulder."Come on, don't say those words; we can't compare ourselves to the goddess; no one can beat her true beauty," Treodor said and signaled Natalie to sit down. Natalie followed, but her eyes were all pinned o
"WHAT?!" Cora shouted in anger while holding an envelope, and inside of that were a ton of pictures of Norwan hugging Natalie in front of the office of the South Pack Alphas. Her anger fills her body and system, which causes her to tear apart those pictures sent by the spy she hired to follow Norwan and report what he's doing to her. "Where did you see them?!" She asked as soon as she turned to the spy she hired; he was sipping his tea while watching Cora's reaction. He already knows this will happen soon as he gives those images he captures."At the front of the office of the South Pack Alpha." He answered confidently, which made Cora irritated when he answered her question. But she didn't mind it for too long as she was more concerned with what Norwan was doing with Natalie and their agenda and why they were both there at the place of South Packs."Something is happening with them, and I must find it out." She said while she was looking badly in the other direction."All this time,
Until now, Norwan couldn’t believe his eyes. The woman he had killed—the woman he had sacrificed so much to eliminate in order to save Natalie—was now standing in front of him, alive. She was here. And not just a shadow of the past, but in full force, with an army behind her. It felt like a cruel joke, a twist in time he couldn’t comprehend. Is she the one behind all this? How did she know we were here? Every question in his mind spiraled into another. She wasn’t just some ghost of his past—she was at the heart of it all, a living nightmare, and everything he had fought for seemed to be crumbling because of her.Cora’s voice broke through his spiraling thoughts, sweet and deceptively soft, like a velvet-covered blade. “Aren’t you happy to see me again, darling?” Her words danced through the air as she looked at him, her eyes sparkling with cruel amusement.Norwan didn’t flinch. His gaze was as cold as the steel under his skin, emotionless and unwavering. He stood like a statue, unread
The two healers from both clans worked swiftly, their hands glowing with energy as they focused on Natalie, who lay unconscious, blood seeping from her wounds. Beside them stood Don Grego, his face pale and twisted with concern. His eyes darted between the healers and his daughter, and yet, a cloud of confusion clouded his mind. He couldn’t understand why he was there, or what had led to this moment. The only memory he could grasp was of being at the hospital, talking to Natalie—until someone had approached him, a woman with strange questions, and then... nothing.“Goddamn, what’s happening? Why are my people here?” Don Grego’s voice trembled, the urgency of the situation growing heavier with each word. Norwan, who had been silently watching the scene unfold, turned sharply at his question. His concern for Natalie matched Don Grego's, but there was a gnawing feeling of unease. Why couldn’t the man remember?“Are you sure you don’t remember anything?” Norwan asked, his voice firm, thou
“I want to talk to her,” Norwan said, his voice firm yet laced with frustration. He looked toward the opposing camp, where Natalie’s people stood, prepared for battle.Natalie swallowed hard, shaking her head in response. “You can’t talk to her like this, Norwan,” she warned, her voice low, filled with tension. She gestured to the two armies that stood poised for conflict, a single misstep could send them spiraling into chaos. “Not with everything on the line. If you make a move now, my men will see it as a threat to me One wrong word, one wrong gesture, and we’re at war.”Norwan’s gaze hardened as he processed her words. He wanted to speak to her, to settle things without bloodshed, but he knew the risks. He couldn’t afford to make a mistake.“You can’t approach her right now,” Natalie continued, her voice softer but urgent. “It’s too dangerous—for your safety, for all of us.”Norwan’s eyes met hers, and he let out a heavy sigh. He knew exactly what she meant. He couldn’t walk into e
Norwan blinked twice, his gaze locked on Natalie’s face as though trying to decode the impossible."Are you serious?" His voice was low, strained with disbelief. Natalie simply nodded, her brow furrowing in response.“She’s with us because your mother and my father have... a relationship," Natalie’s words hung in the air, heavy with implications. The sheer absurdity of it hit Norwan like a sudden, unexpected gust of wind, causing a laugh to escape his lips.“Are you kidding me?” He leaned back, disbelief swirling in his chest, unable to process the truth she was suggesting.Natalie’s expression remained serious, her eyes steady as she shook her head, her throat working to swallow the weight of what she was saying. "I know it's hard to believe," she continued, her voice softer now. "But just look over there, at my father."Norwan followed her gaze, his eyes scanning the crowd until they landed on Don Grego—standing tall, calm, his presence commanding. But it wasn’t just Don Grego that
“I don’t understand...” Natalie’s voice trembled as she looked at Norwan, her gaze searching for any hint of jest or mischief. Surely, she had misheard. Norwan couldn’t be serious. He must be toying with her, playing some cruel game. Her heart twisted with disbelief.“My father would never—” she faltered, the words dying on her lips as Norwan’s icy stare cut through her like a blade.His silence was a frozen ocean, deep and impenetrable. He didn’t blink. Didn’t flinch. His lips were set in a hard line, and for the first time, his face wasn’t just cold—it was unforgiving.“He did.” His voice was a quiet storm, the words sharp as broken glass. There was no trace of doubt in his tone.Natalie’s breath hitched as the weight of his words crashed into her chest. She looked deeper into his eyes, hoping—praying—she’d find some trace of the warmth she once knew there. But instead, she saw only a storm. A storm that mirrored the chaos roiling inside her.“Not my father…” she whispered, almost t
The air was thick with the unsaid words between them, each breath Natalie took carrying a weight too heavy for her fragile chest. A single tear slid down her cheek, betraying the storm inside her heart. She hadn’t expected this—hadn't expected him to look at her like that, with that depth of silent torment that mirrored her own. But there it was, a gaze that sliced through her resolve. Norwan’s eyes softened, just for a moment, before he swiftly masked it with cold indifference. It was a subtle movement, a swallow of shame, a flinch as his hands twisted behind his back to hide what he could not control—his emotions.Natalie’s whisper floated between them like a quiet confession, “It’s nice to see you again.”The words hung in the air, as delicate as her heart. But Norwan, the stone he had become, didn't let the softness of her voice reach him. His jaw tightened, his gaze shifting with a sharpness that cut through her like the very coldness in his words. But it wasn’t her he was angry
“Norwan…” Natalie calls again, her voice a blend of desperation and authority, but this time, it’s different. This time, she takes a step forward, the weight of every second of silence between them pulling her toward him. But before she can take another step, her father’s grip tightens around her wrist, pulling her back. “Don’t,” Don Grego warns, his voice cold, steely. His fingers feel like chains around her, but Natalie fights against them, her eyes burning with an anger she’s never felt before. She jerks free, glaring at him with all the hatred she’s kept hidden for years, the truth of what he’s done flooding her chest like a storm. “What are you going to do, Natalie?” he asks, the question almost mocking, as if he already knows the answer, as if he thinks she’s too weak to act. Her chest heaves with rage, but her answer is steady, every syllable sharp with defiance. “I’m going to talk to him.” Her gaze snaps back to Norwan, his form standing rigid, eyes cast downward. He loo
The cold wind stung Natalie’s face, but she barely noticed. Her eyes remained fixed on the scene across the border, where the tension in the air was thick. Horses pawed the ground, their hooves clattering like distant thunder. Male wolves, their eyes glowing with readiness, paced around the camp, while men, their hands resting on the barrels of their guns, stood vigilant. The war had come, and it was no longer a distant worry. It was here.But amidst the chaos, there was one thing that kept her grounded—one person. Norwan. She had been searching for him all day. Her heart raced, but she couldn’t let fear overwhelm her. Not yet. Not until she found him.Her breath came out in sharp, visible clouds, blending with the smoke of the fires rising from the other side of the border. She tried to steady her nerves, reminding herself why she was here. Why she had to find him.Did she feel hope? Fear? Both? She couldn’t tell. But she knew one thing—she couldn’t go back without him.Natalie sighe
“I already expected this to happen.” Natalie stopped walking as soon as she heard her father’s voice from the entertainment room. She slowly and silently crept closer to the door to listen to the conversation.“For sure, this has something to do with Natalie,” Don Grego added, causing Natalie to frown.“About me?” she asked herself.“What are we going to do now? I haven’t told Natalie yet; for sure, she’ll be surprised,” Natalie heard her beta’s voice talking to her dad, so she slightly peeked at them from the small crack in the door.Natalie’s heart pounded as she stood just outside the door, listening intently to her father and beta’s conversation. The words her beta spoke hit her like a cold wave, freezing her in place. “The clan is at war?” she thought, her mind racing.She felt a mix of confusion and disbelief. How could something so serious be happening without her knowing? As the alpha of the pack, shouldn’t she have been the first to know? Was her position not as strong as she
