Natalie looks straight at Lynn, who is talking to the officer; until now, Norwan and Drixie have not yet returned, so Lynn decided to speak to the officer.“Aren’t you going to file a case to her for what she did to you and to your unborn child?” The officer asked; Lynn shook her head and smiled. The officer sighs and leans in his chair.“Are you scared because she is an Alpha and might get back to you after this?” The officer asked Lynn again, but Lynn shook her head again.“I deserve it. I did something wrong with her, and she just did what she thinks I deserve,” Lynn answers. The officer looks at Natalie, watching Lynn and listening to her answer. Inside Natalie, she can’t believe that Lynn would do such a thing, stopping the case for her and not going to get revenge for what she did to her. There is something pinched her heart while looking at her friend, and it made her realize something, that Lynn was not an enemy but a true friend who would do anything for her; it’s just that t
“Are you crazy?” Drixie couldn’t hide her anger towards Lynn after knowing she refused to file a case against Natalie and watching Natalie leave the station with her brother Norwan accompanying her. She doesn’t know what is happening now; first, her brother, Norwan. She starts to get close to Natalie; second, Lynn refuses to file a case against Natalie even after what she did to her and to her unborn baby.“Is people now getting crazy?” She asks herself.“I told you I don’t want to file a case with her,” Lynn said, who just entered her car. Drixie rolled her eyes and leaned into the driver’s seat.“Why? Is it because you’re scared of her?” She asked so Lynn shook her head as she answered and sighed. “I told you it’s also my fault from the beginning.” She said to Drixie, who was looking at her badly.“But you will just give her a lesson for what she did to you and to your baby!” Drixie said, so Lynn just swallowed, and for the second time, she sighed.“Drixie, I know your frustration
Lynn is sitting in the coffee shop and waiting for someone to arrive. She sighed for the tenth time today while looking back from her watch to the shop’s window. She then took another sip of her coffee and again leaned in her chair.“Where are you now?” She asked herself while she looked once again at her watch and looked back to the window; the shop bells rang signals that someone had entered the shop. She looks at the door, and her smile draws on her lips as soon as she sees Chad approaching her. He looked tired, and he had puffy eyes. Lynn notices some things about Chad, but she ignores them even though it hurts her to see him like this; Chad looks miserable.“What happened to you, Chad?” She asks herself, but then she sighs and gives Chad another smile. As soon as he sits, he sits on his chair.“What do you want?” He asks in his cold voice; Lynn looks down and secretly flinches her hand under the table.“Come on Lynn, you can do this..” She said to herself, so she looked up again
Natalie was walking through the hallway of her mansion when her maid suddenly came in front of her, so she stopped walking.“Good morning, madame. Mr. Norwan is in front of our gate today. He’s asking to see you.” The maid said, so she frowned and looked at her gate. She didn’t see Norwan there because it was a big gate. She looks back to her maid and sighs before she nods in answer, and she continues to walk to her dining area. She is about to eat her breakfast and is about to see the man she hired last time to find some information about Cora, but Norwan comes, so she cancels it.She grabbed her phone and started to send a message to that man, and then she started to put some food on her plate.“Good morning.” She looked at the voice which spoke, Norwan. And he’s holding a bouquet of red roses. That’s why Natalie frowned while looking at Norwan.“What with your red roses?” She asked, so Norwan smiled at her and went near to her.“Nothing, I just came here to give this to you and to
The next day, Natalie received another bouquet of flowers, but this time, a delivery man handed it to her. She saw a note attached to the flower, and based on it, this was from Norwan. She sighed and put the flower down on the mini table before she sipped her coffee.“Unbelievable,” she said in her head and then started to work through her laptop. She stopped as soon as her phone rang, so she answered it without looking at the caller’s name.“Yeah?” She greeted her as soon as she answered it. “Did you receive the flower?” She looked at her phone. Once she heard his voice, it was Norwan. She rolled her eyes and put the phone to her ears again.“Yeah, this is what for?” She asks while she’s scrolling to her laptop.“Nothing, I just wanted to give you flowers today,” Norwan said, so Natalie chuckled sarcastically.“Why don’t you give your fiance a flower instead of giving your Ex-luna?” she asked. She heard Norwan’s sigh, so she stopped scrolling. Now, she can’t believe that Norwan admi
The whole room was now covered with strange silence. Norwan’s aura became dark after Cora shouted at him. Cora was stunned for a second while looking at Norwan, but she hid her fears from him; she needed to be brave when facing Norwan in this kind of situation, and she needed to prove to Norwan that she could face him in this kind of situation.“Is Drixie telling the truth?” she asks while looking at Norwan. She is hurting. She just wants to make sure that Norwan is not hanging up with Natalie anymore. She’s jealous, knowing that Norwan does things that he didn’t do back then. She’s afraid that Norwan might leave her because of Natalie.“And so?” Norwan asked in his cold voice. He looked up and stared at Cora, who was stunned by his answer.“What do you mean, and so? Are you cheating on me?!” Cora shouted once again, so Norwan sighed. He ignored her once again; he didn’t want to start a fight with her this time; he had no time for that.“Answer me, Norwan. Are you cheating on me?!” Co
Natalie enters the coffee shop, where she will meet the spy she hired to investigate Cora. She removes her sunglasses as soon as she enters the shop and starts to explore her surroundings until she sees a man wearing a suit sitting in the last row of the restaurant reading a newspaper. She goes near that man and sits in front of him. The man puts down the newspaper and looks at Natalie.“I'm Glad you’re here now,” the man said, smiling at her before starting to get his case.“Thank you for waiting. I just did some stuff before I went here,” she said, watching the man put some envelopes in front of them and put the case back beside him.“Is this all the information you gather?” She asked while looking at that envelope; the man nodded at her as soon as she looked at that man.“It contains a lot of information you needed to tell her,” the man said and started to open the envelope. He put some paper in front of Natalie, and those papers contained pictures.“This is his ex-husband who died
Natalie sips her coffee while waiting for someone. She sighs again while looking at the widow and watching the people passing by. Natalie looked at her wristwatch and looked at her coffee again. Today, she will meet Divina and Amelia. She decides to meet them to ask something and confirm things that the spy she hired said. Not that she didn’t believe the man, but she just wanted to hear what the man said from their mouth.“Ms. Natalie.” Natalie turns to look at the woman who calls her, and it’s Amelia. She gives her a smile and hugs Amelia.“How are you? Thank you so much for accepting my invitation.” Natalie said, signaling Amelia to sit in front of her. Amelia is a middle-aged woman, and Natalie treats her like a mother.“Ms. Natalie, I am sorry I didn’t stand up for you that day. I was scared.” Amelia said that she had started to become emotional all her life. After seeing that event, Amelia feels guilty that she hasn’t done anything to stand up for Natalie. She was scared, that’s
“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
The weight of the evening’s emotions pressed heavily on Norwan’s chest, yet the silence of the moment seemed to deepen the storm brewing within him. He held the wineglass loosely, the amber liquid sloshing with each small movement, but it did little to quell the fire inside. His thoughts were tangled, each one sharper than the last. “Why does it feel like nothing is ever enough for Grego?” he wondered bitterly.He’d tried to be patient. He’d asked—no, pleaded—for freedom. And what did he get in return? Natalie, the woman he loved, tethered like a prized possession, while her father continued to tighten his grip on their lives. He couldn’t fathom the mind of the Don anymore. What was he trying to prove by keeping her so close?Norwan’s gaze sharpened as Darius’s words cut through his internal storm."My lord, everything is settled now."The words were simple enough, but they stung with the weight of finality. What did "settled" mean? The chaos he’d just heard of—about Natalie’s father
“Let me go!” A loud voice echoed in the hallway, and Norwan could hear it too. He looked at the door as it opened, and his men brought in Darius. Norwan saw the frightened look on Darius’s face, and he couldn’t help but feel pity for him. Darius was one of the men he trusted most when it came to the clan. He was like a watcher, a protector and observer, standing as Norwan’s eyes within the clan.Norwan watched as his men pushed Darius to the floor. He sighed, stood up from his seat, and Darius looked up at him as he approached.“What is this all about?” Darius asked, and in response, Norwan’s beta delivered a hard blow to Darius’s face, causing him to groan in pain.“Don’t speak to our lord like that,” Norwan’s beta said.Darius looked up at Norwan again.The tension in the air was thick, and Norwan could feel the weight of Darius's gaze on him, searching for answers. As the sounds of the fight settled, a strange feeling stirred in his chest. He had always known Darius to be strong, s
The man entered the office quietly, his steps measured as he approached Norwan’s desk. He could see the distant look in Norwan’s eyes, the way his gaze seemed lost in the fading light of the sunset. He cleared his throat, snapping Norwan back to reality.“Sir,” the man said, his tone low, “there’s something urgent. The situation with the Clan... it’s escalating faster than we anticipated.”Norwan set his wine down slowly, the weight of the words sinking in. The glass rim made a soft clink against the surface of the desk as his hand retreated. His thoughts shifted instantly—back to the pressing matters of the Clan, the danger that loomed.“I’ve been expecting this,” Norwan said quietly, his voice steady but tinged with concern. “Tell me what’s going on.”The man hesitated for a moment before speaking again. “It’s the allies we thought we had... they’ve turned on us. And there’s also talk of a traitor within. We might be looking at a two-front battle soon.”Norwan’s jaw tightened, his m
“I don’t know what’s going on in your mind, Dad,” Natalie said coldly, her eyes locked onto his. It confused her to no end—why had her father invited Amanda to their breakfast after everything he’d done to Norwan?“This is insane,” she muttered under her breath, a sarcastic chuckle escaping her lips. She couldn’t believe it.“You told me they’re our enemies,” Natalie said, her voice sharp, waiting for the Don’s response. He stared at her with a serious look, not a word leaving his lips. Amanda, equally silent, kept her gaze fixed on Don Grego, her face unreadable, as if waiting for him to break the silence.“What is this all about?” Natalie finally demanded, her patience thinning. The minutes stretched on in heavy silence.“Who told you they’re our enemies?” Don Grego finally said, his tone casual as he started to toy with his food. “I hate Norwan,” he added, as though the words were insignificant. Natalie scoffed, a humorless laugh escaping her. Her gaze flicked to Amanda, as if expe
