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 heart. This is probably the very first time that she walks away from Norwan, it is always Norwan who walks away from her constantly, and it made her feel sad every time Norwan did that, but now that she's the one who did what he did to her back then, it gives chills at her, but at the same time it gives her pain knowing that she will no longer return to him again and there is no reason to stay with him and fight for what she felt for Norwan.
Everyone in town now knows what happened to Cora, and Drixie was the one who made the news spread in the city, making Natalie the villain in the story.
"This is unfair…" Her tears start forming as it sinks into her mind that they make her the evil Luna in their story, and Cora confirms and even builds an account to make Natalie look bad to everyone.
"THIS IS REALLY UNFAIR!" A cold wind blew, and with that, a drop of rain started to come until it became heavy rain; Natalie was now numb and didn't care about the rain. She was getting wet by it, but she felt nothing but anger in her heart. Anger for Norwan, Cora and Drixie.
"I should listen to my father back then…" Natalie said to herself and looked up to the sky; a cold smile formed on her lips as she remembered how she had broken their pack's rule for him. Her father almost rejected her back then because of his anger toward her daughter for breaking the rules.
"I should listen to you, Dad.." She said and stopped walking; she started to cry in the rain.
"I hate you, Norwan!" she shouted out of pain and cried even more.
"I told you a Luna shouldn't chase her mate, don't I?" Natalie was stunned from her place as she heard that familiar voice; she then looked up and saw a very familiar face who was also showering from the rain.
"Father…" she whispers, her tears forming even more as she sees her father's smiling face.
"You're a stubborn woman, Natalie. You really just like your mom." Her dad said, and with that, Natalie hugged her dad so tightly and cried in his arms.
"Oh, my little Luna, someone makes you feel like this… Daddy doesn't want to see you like this, you know that." Grego said while hugging his only daughter.
Norwan arrived at his mansion and saw some maids pulling Natalie's things from her room. He stopped walking and saw one envelope on top of the luggage; he got it and looked at what was inside it.
He suddenly frowned as he saw that it was two plane tickets for Maldives. It has a letter at the back saying 'for Norwan's birthday' he also saw an initial mark of Natalie in the envelope. Hence, he knows this belongs to Natalie, but witnessing the note at the back makes him feel very empty, knowing that her mateship with Natalie has already been terminated.
"Norwan, I didn't know that you will be back at home so very early today, I was planning to make you a food for dinner," Cora said who is walking towards him with a vast smile at her face. Norwan looks at her, smiles, and hides the ticket in the envelope again. Cora noticed that, so she looked at the envelope and looked back to Norwan.
"What is that?" She asked. Norwan looked at the envelope and smiled at Cora,
"Nothing, a paper from the company, some business invitation." Norwan lied, so Cora smiled at him and hugged him.
"I heard that Natalie is not returning here again, as your mateship with her has already been terminated," Cora said, secretly hiding her smirk. "I am sorry for what she did; she really doesn't think what her actions will cost her." She added. Norwan just smiled and looked at her and distanced himself from her.
"Yeah, but let her go; that's what she wanted; it's not my loss after all," Norwan said, so Cora smiled at him.
"I think she also deserves that, after what she did to me and to my unborn baby," Cora said and started acting like a little victim in Norwan's eyes.
"Anyways, you will move to Natalie's room from now on." Cora's eyes widened because of what he said.
"Really?!" Cora holds Norwan's hands and hugs him. "Thank you so much!" She said as she hugged him. A little smile forms on Norwan's lips. He then removed her hug and looked at her again.
"I will just go to my room now. I am so tired today; please call me if we are gonna eat." He said, turning his back to Cora and walking upstairs while holding the envelope containing the plane ticket.
"What is happening to me? Why am I feeling empty now that she's no longer here?"
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
ONE YEAR LATER.Cora smiles as soon as she sees herself in the mirror; after checking herself, she goes to the dining table and sees Norwan drinking his coffee alone in the dining area. She walks towards him with a broad smile on her lips.“Good morning, handsome.” Cora greets him; Norwan doesn’t look at her; instead, he focuses on the newspaper he’s holding. Cora sighed and went closer to him. “Have you eaten your breakfast already?” She asked.“Yes,” Norwan answers without even looking at Cora. Because of that, Cora frowned and looked at the newspaper he was holding.“What are you reading?” She asked as soon as she read the title of the headline. “Don’t tell me you’re still concerned with your ex-luna; she’s not worth it to think of, Norwan.” She said and sat down beside him. Norwan didn’t look at her; instead, he sat and put down his coffee nug.“Hey, where are you going? Are you not going to join me to eat the breakfast?” She asked and watched Norwan turn his back from her.“I al
“Are you gonna eat here later?” Cora asked while watching Norwan arrange his suit while looking at himself in the mirror. Norwan didn’t look at her as he had already gotten his case.“No.” He said coldly and walked away to Cora. Cora followed him while her brows frowning; she didn’t understand why Norwan acted like this. “Norwan, can we talk for a second?” She asked while following him, but Norwan didn’t even look at her as he continued walking down the stairs.“We can talk later, Cora. There is something I need to do today. I can’t be late.” He said and walked directly to the kitchen to get his drink.“But Norwan, just for a second, please.” She said Norwan was about to walk away with her when Cora blocked his way. Norwan looks at her with his frowning forehead.“About what?” He asked. Cora sighed and crossed her arms.“I don’t get why you’re acting like that, Norwan.” She said, so Norwan chuckled.“What do you mean, Cora?” He asked and took a look at his watch. “I really need to go
Everyone applauds while looking at Natalie, who is standing in the middle with her beautiful smile; she looks stunning at this point with her red curvy gown, partnered by her red mini bag and red heels. Her lips are also red, and her hair is now long, blonde, curly, and wavy; it suits her style today, and everyone in the room is admiring her beauty, including Norwan, who is straightly looking at and watching her action.“I never thought she would look like this… she’s beautiful as ever,” Norwan said with his smile and smiled while watching her, but those smile faded away as he saw Chad put his hand to Natalie’s waist and kiss her cheeks, this boils his blood as he saw what that Beta did to Natalie. Norwan was about to stand when he suddenly remembered something.“What the heck is happening to me?” He asked himself and looked at Natalie again; she was smiling with the guest talking to her.“I forgot, she's no longer my Luna anymore.” He smirks because of what he’s thinking right now. H
Norwan gathered all of his remaining men in one place, not far from his clan's location. Some of the young men were still helping the women clean up the mess in their homes, while others were assisting civilians who had been injured. The men standing before Norwan were those he believed could help him uncover the identities of those responsible for the chaos that had befallen his clan.“They’re all here, my lord,” Norwan's beta said. Norwan nodded at him and sighed before looking over the men before him. Some had small wounds on their faces, while others had bandages wrapped around their bodies.“I would like to thank you all for attending,” Norwan greeted them, his voice heavy as he scanned their faces. His heart seemed to break as he looked at them, knowing the suffering they had endured because of what had happened to their homes.“I apologize for leaving you all alone, for not protecting you, and for letting this happen to all of you…” Norwan paused for a moment, swallowing hard.
The scene before Norwan felt like a brutal wake-up call, his mind racing as he stood frozen in the chaos. The destruction of his home, the pain and fear in the eyes of his people—these were things he couldn’t ignore, no matter how much guilt gnawed at him. As the cold wind brushed against his face, it felt almost like a physical reminder of his failure. The Beta, a loyal companion, stood beside him, their silence filled with shared sorrow and the weight of the unspoken words.Norwan’s anger bubbled up again as the Beta’s words hung in the air. The unknown wolves—an enemy he hadn’t anticipated. Maybe if he hadn’t been distracted by the allure of his own desires, by his connection with Natalie, this wouldn't have happened. He thought back to the moments before he left. His mind was occupied with everything but his people. His heart ached with the realization that his absence had cost them dearly.“Who did this?” Norwan asked again, this time more fiercely, his voice trembling with the e
Norwan's body trembled slightly as he sat there, staring at the remnants of the cracked window, the dull light that filtered through doing little to soothe the ache in his heart. The room around him felt colder than before, the silence pressing down on him with the weight of regret and loss. His fingers clenched into fists as he held back another wave of emotion, the flashback of Natalie’s voice, her frustration, echoing in his mind. He had always known she was the grounding force, the one to pull him back from the edge when his impulsiveness spiraled out of control.But now, that presence was gone.The tears fell faster now, his chest tightening as memories of her laughter, her little quirks, the way she would always forgive him even when he messed up, flooded his thoughts. It was too much to bear, the realization that her absence was permanent, that he had no chance to make things right. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to shut out the painful truth, but it was impossible.“Natalie
Norwan arrived at their small house, his heart still racing so fast. He felt incredibly tired and thirsty from running and sprinting just to get back home. As soon as he opened the gate, he immediately caught the scent of Natalie, a scent he hadn’t noticed before. His heart started to beat even faster as he opened the door, anxiously searching for her. But he couldn’t see her anywhere in the house."NATALIE!" he shouted, opening the rooms in a frantic search. Sweat poured down his body, and his face was drenched. He swallowed hard as he opened the last door, only to find it empty again."NATALIE!" he shouted once more and hurried to the backyard, scanning the farm they had. His forehead furrowed as he noticed the basket where Natalie always placed the vegetables, something she used whenever she worked in the farm. Norwan sniffed the basket, picking up her scent but still couldn’t pinpoint where she was."NATALIE!" Norwan called out again, his voice filled with panic as he looked aroun
Norwan arrived at the town and started looking for a job. He began asking some locals if there were any job openings for a man like him, and luckily, he met Casto, a man in his 30s who helped him get work from the same bakery shops he was working for. Norwan considered it lucky and a twist of fate to meet Casto. He was so kind to him, even though they barely knew each other; Casto still helped him without hesitation.“I guess that’s just how we are here,” Casto said with a smile after Norwan thanked him.“In my place, we never share information like this. We have our own business and don't care much about others,” Norwan said, lifting a sack of flour.“Well, luckily you're here, in my place, where we care about each other,” Casto replied while mixing flour and eggs.“How many years have you been here?” Norwan couldn’t stop himself from asking.“Since birth,” Casto answered proudly. “I also met my wife here.” He added with a smile, which made Norwan smile too.“You must be happy to hav
Natalie stares to her fathers eyes with anger, pain and sadness and Don Grego feel all those emotion while he’s also staring back to his own daughter. He suddenly remember Natalie’s mom because of Natalie’s eyes. Don Grego close his eyes and avoid his daughter’s stares after remembering his late wife who died because of a clan war.“Why don’t you just let us go, dad?” Natalie ask which cause the Don to look at her for a minute before he look up to stop himself not to cry.“I’m just protecting you.” Don Grego said so Natalie shook her head as if her father can see her action.“Protecting me from who?” Natalie ask and sigh, “You’re just making me feel so much hate for you.” Natalie added which cause Don Grego to look at his own daughter with anger in his eyes. This is the very first time Natalie tell those words to Don Grego and it makes so much pain for Don Grego after hearing the words coming from Natalie.“You hate me for what?” Don Grego ask with serious tone of voice, Natalie sudde
Weeks after Natalie and Norwan ran away from Don Grego and from their own town, they lived normally and peacefully in another country, just as they had dreamed together. Unlike their first marriage, Norwan and Natalie spent so much time with each other, caring, cherishing, and appreciating all the efforts that each of them made. For Natalie, these were the best months she had ever spent with Norwan. This was her dream, her longing for so many years since she married him. It was all finally happening now.“I will go to town later,” Natalie said, looking at Norwan, who was fixing the front doorknob. She sighed as she put down the cup she was holding.“Why?” she asked, making Norwan look at her and give her a playful smile.“Of course, I need to find work,” Norwan said. This was the first time Natalie had heard those words from him. She knew that he was willing to do anything for both of them. She also knew that Norwan had changed a lot since they arrived in their new home.“You don’t ha
The flight took some hours before it finally landed at the airport. Norwan and Natalie got out of the Plane together while they were holding some of their things. The wind blew from their faces, and as soon as Norwan felt that wind, he smiled and looked at Natalie, who was also smiling.“We could finally get the freedom that we're looking for,” Norwan said to Natalie, who embraced him and looked at him in his eyes.“We should forget things and our problems for now; we're here now to start a new life again,” Natalie said, which made Norwan smile. He can't help but smile while looking at Natalie because, finally, they can have freedom together, far from the people who want them to be separated.Norwan and Natalie start walking inside the airport and planning things for them. They're new to this country and need to adjust very much to the place and the people near them. For now, Norwan booked a cab so they could go to the nearest hotel, which they had also booked online. The language of
Natalie is staring at nowhere while Norwan is buying some tickets for them. They're already at the airport. After they are away from the hospital, Norwan and Natalie go directly to buy some things for them disguised. She even cuts her hair so no one can know and see her. The same goes for Norwan, who cuts off his whole hair. As soon as he gets the ticket, Norwan goes to Natalie's side and kisses her on her cheeks, which causes her to look at him. “I got our ticket,” Norwan said, so Natalie smiled at him and sighed. She was nervous, and even though she wouldn't tell Norwan, he could still feel and smell it from her.“I'm nervous,” Natalie said, so Norwan held her hands, which made her comfortable at some point while she looked out the airport window and watched some people pass by.“Just think about us having our freedom after this,” Norwan said, and Natalie turned to look at him. I know it sounds selfish, but we're doing this for us, right?” Norwan added, and Natalie nodded at him a
