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 kneeling in front of the mansion's door. 

She knelt all night with anger and pain. And a tiny part of her hopes that Norwan will come to her and take back what he says. A small number of her hopes to fully explain her side to Norwan, but the sun has already risen, her body is aching, and she is also sleepy. Her eyes are swollen because she cried all night, hoping and waiting for Norwan, but her hopes don't happen. As the sun rises, Norwan stands in front of her.

"Norwan..." She called him, waiting for him to take back what she said and apologize for forcing her to kneel down.

"Are you going to admit your mistakes?" Norwan asked her. Natalie suddenly stopped and looked at him hopelessly. Is this really happening to her? After all, Norwan wanted her to admit the mistake she didn't make? Norwan really thinks that she really pushed Cora off the cliff? This is pathetic!

"I... I didn't do anything." Natalie said she was utterly disappointed with Norwan. How come she fell in love with him? He can't even believe her. He can't even stand for her. 

"You really pointed out your pride first. Just admit it, and I will take back my order." Norwan said Natalie was still looking at him. Even though her eyes were already swollen and drained, tears fell from her eyes again. 

"Why can't you believe in me?" She asked, not cutting off her gaze on him. "I am your wife, Norwan. You should believe more in me than anyone else." She said. Norwan looked in the other direction.

"You make me feel that Cora is more important than me." She said while crying. "I am so disappointed, the fact that you forced me to kneel down and give me the option whether to kneel down on Cora or terminate our mateship gives me the idea that Cora is more important to you." 

"I'm doing this because you made a mistake; you must learn your lesson."

"Lesson? You don't even give me a chance to explain my side. What you did was listen to your sister and Cora. Norwan, how about me?" She asked. Norwan still didn't answer her. "I already told so many times that all I did was to save Cora. I didn't push her."

"Stop telling your nonsense alibi, Natalie. Can't you see the results of what you did?" Norwan asked her. "She lost her baby, she miscarried my nephew." He added. "And now you're telling us you saved her because she was about to jump off the cliff? That's bullshit, Natalie. Why would Cora do such a thing? She's in her right mind."

"So you're probably telling me that I'm out of my mind and pushed her off the cliff because she doesn't like me, and I feel jealous of her whenever she's around you?" 

"Yes!" Norwan shouted. Natalie couldn't believe this was what she looked like for Norwan. She can't believe that this is how Norwan thinks of her.

 "I...I want to terminate our mateship." She said Norwan was shocked because of what she said. "If that's what you think of me, then I would like to terminate our mateship." She added. Norwan froze in the meantime, processing all that Natalie said.

"Fine." He was about to speak again when Matteo, his Beta, came.

"Mr. Tobias, Ms. Cora is already awake and looking for you, she is crying and wants to see you," Matteo said as he arrived.

Norwan suddenly worries for Cora, he looks at Natalie. And take a deep breath. "Don't make any trouble again." He said coldly and left in front of Natalie. 

Natalie was left alone; she noticed Norwan immediately went to Cora's room. She saw how concerned Norwan was for Cora. She hopes Norwan will do the same thing to her, but no. At this time, she knows the fact that Cora is not only remarkable for Norwan, but Cora is also her rival when it comes to Norwan's heart.

She slowly stands as if she doesn't remove her gaze from the way where Norwan goes. After Norwan left her, she went to her room and packed her luggage. She can't stand this anymore, she will leave the house with or without Norwan's permission. After what she experienced last night after all the people here in the mansion blame her for what happened to Cora, she cannot stand it anymore. 

On the other hand, Norwan goes to Cora's room; he immediately goes to her side, and Cora Immediately hugs him crying.

"Shh, stop crying. Calm down, Cora."

"My... My baby is gone," Cora said, crying while hugging Norwan.

"I. I didn't save my baby, I didn't have the chance to see my baby."

"I'm also sad about what happened to my nephew. I promise you that Natalie has already learned her lesson." Norwan is giving Cora assurance that Natalie learned her lesson and she will never do anything wrong to her.

"Norwan, because of Natalie, my baby died. I... I don't know what's wrong with her; I was just standing near the cliff trying to relax when she suddenly pushed me and..." Cora didn't continue what she said as Norwan hugged her again. A smirk on Cora's lips showed up as he grabbed her to embrace.

"Stop crying, don't stress yourself out. Okay? She will not hurt you anymore. I will protect you." Norwan said.

On the other hand, after Natalie packed all her things, she immediately left the room with her suitcase. As she went down to the door, she once looked at the people inside the mansion before she left the house. No one noticed her leaving, even the servants, because they were all busy caring for Cora. No one saw her arms bleeding; all their attention was focused on Cora. 

As she left the mansion, she didn't know where to go, she just kept walking, and it was up to where her feet took her. Her tears didn't stop flowing. She feels weak and sick at this time because of what she experienced last night, she felt like she would collapse any minute, so she paused walking and struggled to open her mind, link, and connect with her beta, Chad. Her eyes became blurry, and her legs became weak.

"Chad... Chad, please pick me up here at Norwan's village. "She said before she fainted on the ground.

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's ears perked up because of what Cora said to him; his aura darkened, and his eyes became lifeless. Cora was terrified after seeing Norwan like this after she said those words; she never imagined that Norwan would get offended by what she said about Natalie.“What’s wrong with you?” Norwan asked while looking at Cora coldly. “You always added Natalie to our nonsense conversation. Is that really how you think?” Norwan asked sarcastically; it’s always been like that. Cora always includes Natalie in their conversation, whether they’re arguing or she’s jealous of something. Norwan couldn’t handle her words to Natalie anymore as he knew that Natalie wasn’t doing something wrong to Cora.“Now you’re siding with her, huh? I am your fiancee here, Norwan.
