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 am asking is, What happened to you and Cora?" Lynn asked again. This time Natalie avoided her gaze.

"I know the fact that there is something wrong happening, Natalie. You will not leave the Mansion because of nothing, it's either you leave the Mansion because of Drixie, or you leave the Mansion because of Cora." Lynn said she knows Natalie, she always tells everything to her and rants about how Drixie and Cora treat her.

Natalie took a deep breath before she spoke.

"I left the mansion because of Norwan," Natalie said, which caused Lynn to be shocked.

"What?"

"Well, I decided to terminate our mateship," Natalie added.

"What?! For real? Why? Is it because you pushed Cora off the cliff because of jealousy?" Lynn asked. Natalie looked at her, confused. "I mean, there was a rumor that everyone was talking to," Lynn said. 

"I just heard that you ruthlessly pushed Cora off the cliff because of jealousy, which led to aborting the baby in her womb," Lynn said. "Is that true?" She asked.

"No," Natalie said. Lynn held her hands, she knew her best friend wouldn't do that.

"I heard Cora and her mom fighting over something related to Norwan after her mom left her, she went to the cliff, so I followed her and watched her, and I saw that she tried to jump off the cliff, but I pushed her to the side, to save her and I didn't know that saving her will lead to miscarriage her baby," Natalie explained, Lynn smiled at her. 

"I know you wouldn't do such a thing to hurt people. You just want to help, "Lynn said; finally, one person listened and believed her. 

Natalie's tears suddenly formed as she remembered how Norwan didn't believe her.

"I... I tried to explain my side to Norwan and tell him everything, but he listened to his sister and Cora." Natalie said.

"Drixie saw me push Cora to the side but didn't see how Cora wanted to jump off the cliff. While Cora blamed me for everything." Lynn was listening to her, she knew the fact that her best friend was in pain.

"I thought Norwan was on my side, but instead of listening to me, he forced me to kneel down, admit what I did, and apologise to Cora." This made Lynn's blood boil.

"What? He forced you to kneel down? But you're Luna. That's forbidden!" Lynn said.

"He made me either kneel down and apologise or terminate our mateship," Natalie added.

"That bastard, how dare he do that?! Is he in his right mind?" Lynn asked. Natalie knew that Lynn was mad.

"You know what? Terminating your mateship with that bastard is the right thing to do; look at you. They don't even care about you. They don't even notice that you had a wound in your arms; you're his wife, but they still choose to treat Cora more nicely than you? Unbelievable!" Lynn said. Natalie gave her a bitter smile.

"Well, it is as it is," She said.

"I am now concerned about you, the rumors about you pushing Cora off the cliff spread to everyone, and all the werewolves in Craeton Pack say that you don't deserve to be their Luna," Lynn said.

Natalie just took a deep breath. She knew this was going to happen. She knew that Drixie would spread the rumors.

"I don't mind what they will say," Natalie said, smiling at Lynn. "They're all a bunch of unopened-minded wolves, and I can't do anything about that, that is their opinion." She added.

"I know they're all fake when I'm before them. They talked a lot about me when I turned my back." Natalie laughed.

"So, what's your plan now?" Lynn asked.

"I'm going to start my life again, I will never go back to the mansion, and I don't love Norwan anymore," Natalie answered. "After all that happened to me, after he turned his back and chose Cora over me, I realized that I don't love him anymore." 

"I will support you no matter what, I'm always at your back," Lynn said and smiled at her.

"Have you heard the news about the Luna of Craeton Pack?"

"Yes, she pushed the lady off the cliff, and now the lady has miscarriage the baby."

"Well, she has the guts to do such a thing because she's ruthless. She doesn't consider the fact that the lady was pregnant."

Lynn and Natalie looked at the passerby outside the ward.

"That witch they're talking about you!" Lynn said and was about to confront that passerby when Natalie stopped her.

"Lynn, don't waste your time on nothing, " Natalie stopped her. 

"Natalie, they're talking about you, and we know the truth." Lynn doesn't like to hear bad things about her friend, she wants to help Natalie by enlightening that passerby about what really happened.

"That's true, we know the truth. Let other people judge me. It's their opinion, as long as we know the truth, that is more than enough." Natalie said. Lynn didn't do anything but sit down in her chair again and take a deep breath.

"You're an Alpha's daughter, you don't have to be so aggrieved, you should sometimes fight and stand for yourself and show them who you really are and that you're not the type of wolf that allows anyone to oppress you." Natalie just smiled at her.

"I know you're concerned but don't worry, I will not let anyone oppress me next time," Natalie said. Lynn just shook her head while looking at her friend.

"Anyways, let's get back to our topic," Natalie said, smiling widely at her friend.

"As I said earlier, I realized that somehow, Norwan and I had been together even though he chose Cora over me, that's why I prepared a gift for him and the Craeton pack" Lynn's forehead frowned because of what Natalie said.

"A gift for Norwan and for the pack? What kind of gift is that? Is it like a peace offering gift?" Lynn asked.

Natalie just smiled at her and looked in the other direction. Little did Lynn know that Natalie was thinking of something opposite from what she was thinking.

    “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?"

    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.

  • The Luna's Revenge   Her Last words for Norwan

    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

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

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?

  • The Luna's Revenge   Breakfast with the Enemy

    The tension in the room was almost palpable as Natalie descended the staircase, her eyes deliberately avoiding her father’s gaze. The crisp, almost icy air around her seemed to settle into every corner of the spacious dining hall. Don Grego watched her movements closely, his gaze a mixture of frustration and longing. He knew something had shifted between them, something that had been quietly building over time, but the weight of it was now impossible to ignore.As Natalie reached the table and sat across from him, her presence was like a cold wind sweeping through the room. Don’s sigh was deep and heavy, an attempt to release the discomfort, but it only seemed to make the silence more intense. When he finally spoke, his voice was tinged with a mix of hurt and confusion, the words coming out almost as an accusation, but also a plea.“Until when are you going to treat me like that, Natalie?” His question hung in the air, a challenge he wasn’t sure he was ready for the answer to.

    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 Luna's Revenge   Situation

    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 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
