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.
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
“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
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
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.
Natalie looks at the luggage beside Trever, smiles, and signals him to stand."You don't need to bow down to me," Natalie said. Trever looked into her eyes and shook his head. "I am no longer your Luna." She added. Trever sighs, and he knows what Natalie wants to say."For me, you're still our Luna… Madame." He said; Natalie smiled at his words. Trever is Norwan's Beta. His loyalty was only for Norwan, not until Natalie came and saved him from his problem months ago. He views it as his enormous debt to Natalie; he is very grateful that she helped him when Norwan couldn't do so, and with that, Trever swears to Natalie that even though he's Norwan's Beta, his loyalty will split into two and give his half loyalty to Natalie.Trever heard the news about what happened between Natalie and Cora, and he knows already that Natalie couldn't do such a thing as he knows how kind she is. He has this intuition that someone just spread the wrong information to their clan, which leads to gathering in
Because of Trever’s worlds, Norwan suddenly drive his car to terminal where Trever said Natalie departed, he’s hoping that he could saw her at least for the very last time before she left this town. As Norwan arrived at the terminal, he quickly search for Natalie yet as he checked the flight details he saw that the plain that Trver told to him earlier had already departed 30 minutes ago.Norwan suddenly lose all his strength as he look at the flight details, he sat in front of the board and look around. The thing is he couldn’t understand what Trever mean by his word ‘depart’ he thought that Natalie depart from their house to this terminal.Norwan close his eyes and put his hand in his face to cover it up. “What am I doing?” He ask himself as he look around and still search for Natalie’s presence even though he knows that Natalie is no longer here in their city.“Norwan what the fuck are you doing? You fucking want this right? Now what are you doing to yourself? Get up man!” Norwan s
"Don't do that again, Natalie. You're just fooling yourself because of what you did earlier." Natalie sighed because of her friend's words. Lynn also joined Natalie on her city travel, staying with Natalie until she made sure that Natalie was doing well and had already moved on from Norwan.Natalie sits from her designated seat and looks at Lynn, who is frowning at her, while Chad is behind Lynn, who is smiling awkwardly. Chad told Lynn what had happened earlier, and Lynn was so mad because of what Chad had told her."You and he are no longer bound to each other; you are supposed to accept that, Natalie; look what he said to you earlier," Lynn said and sat beside Natalie."I know that. I'm just hoping a little that his heart will soften." Natalie said and sighed. "But I guess his heart will never be softened anymore as he is no longer interested in me." She added. Lynn sighed as she watched her best friend's reaction. While Chad sits in his designated chair, which is in front of Natal
Norwan arrives at his mansion late at night; Cora is waiting at him in front of the main door and immediately stands from her place as soon as she sees Norwan walking in her direction.“Norwan, thank goodness you’re here already; I’ve been waiting for you for an hour; where did you go?” She asked and immediately smelled the scent of alcohol from him.“Did you drink tonight?” She asked and immediately assisted Norwan, who was not in his right mind then; he was already drunk and couldn’t think straight. “Gosh, what are you doing to yourself, Norwan? This is not normal anymore. You drank too much tonight.” Cora said. “Maids! Help me get Norwan to his room!” Cora shouted, which caused all the maids from Norwan’s mansion to get up from their bed and assist Cora and Norwan. Cora puts Norwan down to the floor as she can’t carry him anymore because of his weight; she rolls her eyes and watches the maid put Norwan in his room upstairs.“Make sure he can’t have any wounds,” Cora said as she fo
“Did I make her wait?” Norwan asked soon as he entered the VIP room in the club of Mario. He looked at his friend and found someone.“Where is she?” Norwan asked and went close to his friend. Mario laugh at him and gave him a shot glass.“She’s still not arriving, and she texted me saying that she will be late for 5 minutes,” Mario said. Norwan sighed in relief, knowing Natalie was not yet arriving.“Why took you so long?” Mario asked. Norwan drinks the alcohol given by Mario and looks to his friend.“Cora and I had a little argument before I went here.” He said that’s why Mario chuckles and starts to make fun of him.“Did you say ‘sorry’ to her?” He asked, making fun of Norwan. “Or did you even update her?” He added. Norwan just rolled his eyes and sighed.“Just kidding, bro, don’t take it personally,” Mario said, knowing Norwan would get mad anytime now.“To be honest, it irritates me. I mean, she’s always blaming Natalie even if we had a small fight.” Norwan said, so Mario sat down
Natalie is looking to nowhere while her mind is floating in the air, and tears are flowing down her eyes. She couldn’t feel anything now except her heart that was dying inside of her body. Natalie couldn’t believe she would experience the same thing again with a different man. She was disappointed in herself, knowing that she had fully trusted Chad and accepted him. Natalie is also asking herself if she deserves this pain that she’s feeling right now and if she’s worth it to be loved because, for the second time, she’s hurting again, a different man, but the same action.Natalie is sitting down on the cold street of Nara Park, where she chose to be alone here and unwind after what happened yesterday; she has no idea where Chad is at this moment, and she promises herself not to make any connection to Chad ever again after knowing that Chad is cheating on her for almost eight months now. At this moment, Natalie thinks that she will do anything to find out who the girl Chad cheats with h
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. You should be on my side, not hers.” Cora said, so Norwan sighed and closed his eyes. He’s losing his patience slowly, and anytime he can say words to Cora that might hurt her feelings.“She’s not doing anything wrong with you, Cora, s
Natalie sighed and watched the children play in the playground while waiting for someone; she was dressed in her usual dress code, long white sleeves paired with her ripped jeans and high red heels. She looks around as if she’s looking for someone to come. After looking around, she sighed for the second time and looked at her wristwatch.“Where is he?” She asked herself as she watched the children play around. She makes herself busy with protecting those children. She suddenly remembered wanting to have a kid someday with Norwan. She chuckles as she remembers that she dreamed of her.“What a pathetic dream of me.” She said to herself and sighed once again. She’s been waiting for Chad to come to the playground, as she received a message from him saying he would meet her there. Natalie is waiting for him for almost an hour, yet Chad isn’t there, and Natalie is losing her patience as the sun sets down.“This is the second time he did this to me,” Natalie said and stood up from the swing,
“Are you free tomorrow morning? I would like to meet you.” Natalie said to her friend, Lynn, via call while she was signing the papers in front of her.“Sorry, Natalie, I have a plan for tomorrow, but I could meet you the next day,” Lynn said, so Natalie looked at her schedule and sighed.“What a wrong timing, I have meetings the next day. I guess we should reschedule our bonding next time.” Natalie said and heard Lynn chuckle. Natalie leans into her chair and sighs.“After tomorrow, I will always be free for you,” Lynn said, so Natalie smiled.“Thank you, I really need to talk to you. I don’t know what would happen if I didn’t release all the thoughts in my mind,” Natalie said and sipped her wine.“No worries, we could talk about it next time, and I will listen to all of your rants,” Lynn said. Natalie smiles and says goodbye to Lynn before hanging up the call. Natalie sighed as she looked at her phone and back at the papers in front of her.“I will go insane by this paper.” She said
Natalie was about to go near Lynn when Lynn suddenly walked towards the department store and hugged one person from there. Natalie couldn’t see the person’s face, and her forehead was fully frowning while she watched Lynn hugging that person.A little smile formed on Natalie’s lips, and sighed. This was the first time she saw her friend going out with someone. And Lynn doesn’t even tell her about it or say something about that person.“Maybe Lynn wants to surprise me that she will have a boyfriend soon.” Natalie said to herself and did not bother to chase Lynn anymore; instead, she walked in a very different way from her friend and started to manage her own business.Norwan rolls his eyes for the third time while listening to Cora’s rant. He has no choice but to be with Cora today because his sister commands him to be with Cora that day and even does some things for him so that he can’t make any excuse for not going out with Cora.“That Natalie acts like she’s so very brave and powerf
The following day, Natalie went to her office as early as she would meet one person from there. She had no time to think of what was happening yesterday, and she couldn’t take the thoughts running through her mind the whole day yesterday, so she hired one person to address all the questions running through her head.Natalie also didn’t see Chad go home yesterday, so she couldn’t ask Chad what she saw in the kitchen trash can.“Did I wait you too long?” Natalie asked as soon as she entered her office; she immediately went to her chair, put down the coffee she was holding, and then looked at the person in front of her.“No.” It says and smiles. “You just arrived on time,” he added, so Natalie smiled, nodded, and then sat in her chair and got something under her table.“As I told you in our conversation yesterday, here are the details of the person I want you to check.” She said and gave the brown folder to the man before her.“I want you to see and observe that person’s actions.” She ad
The next day, Natalie woke up early in the morning with a smile on her lips; she noticed that Chad was no longer in his place when she woke up and left a note on the mini table beside her to inform Natalie that he was going to his work early this morning because of an emergency. Natalie sighed and couldn’t do anything or say anything because she knew his job was essential to Chad.Natalie then stood up from her bed and walked downstairs to eat breakfast; she started her morning routine by washing her face and brushing her teeth to make her food.As she made breakfast, she noticed something in the kitchen trash can, so Natalie went near the trash can and got the thing she saw.“What is this?” Natalie asked herself while holding the underwear she found in the trash can of her kitchen with her forehead frowning.She starts to think of something… “This is not mine.” She said to herself and stood up.“Nelly,” Natalie called her maid, and after seconds of waiting, the maid came and arrived
Chad sighed as he watched Natalie turn her back from him; he put down the plates he was holding and looked at his phone as soon as he felt its vibration. He rolls his eyes and puts it back in his pocket once he sees the messages he received and then looks up to the stairs where Natalie is heading. Chad can’t blame Natalie as he knows she is mad at him because she waited for him for about three hours last night.Chad was about to follow Natalie to her room when his phone rang, so he got it from his pocket and answered the call.“What do you want?” He asked while his head was frowning. He sighed, massaged his forehead, and then went outside the house.“Stop bugging me. I told you already to stop.” He said, looking back at the mansion’s front door before turning his back. While Natalie was in her room, she frowned as soon as she saw Chad talking on his phone from the outside. She just sighed and continued what she was doing.After a minute of preparation, Natalie went down from the front
