The man standing in front of me is no different from Leo, right now. He looked like he could rip my neck off my body right now if I didn't start speaking. “I'm waiting, honey, don't test my patience… I am way worse than my grandson,”I quickly fell on my knees, “I'm sorry, grandfather, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you. I didn't know how anyone would believe me, that was why I kept it to myself. I'm sorry,” I cried. My heart was beating so fast it would fall off my rib cage.“You haven't explained anything,” he coldly stated. His eyes were staring at me with flames in them. It looked like this family has a special way of showing how they can be so intimidating, including Will. I tried to calm myself, closing my eyes as I tried to regulate my breathing,“I'm waiting!” His voice was not loud but stern, and I felt a shiver ran down my spine in fear. My hands and feet had turned cold as I began to narrate to him, “I woke up, I woke up in the hospital and found myself in this body. I don'
The next morning, by 5 am, I was already awake, I made my way to Will's room. I knocked on his door and heard him say, “Come in,”I opened the door before peeping my head through the small space, “May I come in?” I asked him. He panicked a little as he looked at me and then behind me, he was searching for Mia, but Grandfather had made Mia stay in her room today as his mother would be dressing Will this morning. “Will, may I come in pleaseeeeeeeeee,” I asked again, pouting my lips and placing my both hands together in a pleading manner. He sat upright on his bed and nodded his head. He wasn't smiling, his face was stone-cold. “Good morning, son,” I greeted in the most cheerful voice I could pull out. “Good morning,” he replied plainly, without any emotions whatsoever. “How was your night?” I asked him, he only nodded without saying anything. I didn't mind, after all, he was responding to me better than before. His eyes were fixed on me and even though he didn't want to show it,
I stood in front of Will's school. This was my second time leaving the mansion. I had told Grandfather that I wanted to deliver Will's food to him in school, and he gave me a go-ahead. My joy knows no bounds when Will made that statement this morning. I couldn't stop smiling and even when Miles tried to ruin my morning by asking me to stay away from Will, I decided to keep those words Will said ringing in my heart.Nothing can take this smile, this joy away from me! My cheeks were hurting, but hell no, I won't drop the smile.Grandfather ordered one of the drivers to take me to Will's school. When I came down from the car, I made my way through the passage. “Hello,” I greeted one of the ladies I assumed to be a teacher, passing by. “Hi, how may I help you?” She asked, and I smiled, raising the lunch bag up for her to see, “I'm actually here to give my son his food. I hope that's okay?” I asked and she chuckled,“Of course, it's fine. What class is your son?” She asked and I froze.
Natalie's POV“Congratulations Luna, you're two months pregnant,” the doctor said to me with a beautiful smile on her face. “Wow, two months?” I asked in surprise. I didn't feel anything, I didn't notice any change either. “Yes, two months. I am very sure the Alpha and his son, your husband, would be so pleased to hear this great news” My smile immediately went down as I thought of the possibility of those two finding out that I was carrying a child.“Can you not make this public just yet?” I asked the woman, who moved her eyes sharply from whatever she was writing to stare at me. I swallowed as I waited for her to speak, “Why?”“Well, I'd like to know the gender of the child first. So I'll let you know afterward” I replied. That was certainly not the reason, but it was better to say this than tell her what exactly the reason was. She thought about it for a while, looking at me, while I continued to look at her with a forced smile. I don't want any single person to know about th
Natalie's POV“I do not understand what you are saying,” I said to the person over the phone as I rushed out of the house and went straight to my father's house. I had cried my eyes out even before I got to where my father lay lifeless. “No, no, no,” I kept murmuring when I saw my father shot in the head with his eyes wide open. I didn't want to believe it, it just had to be a dream. This cannot be real, cold sweat broke out as I stared at the lifeless body in front of me. The same person I saw and laughed with yesterday. My chest was heaving up and down, heavily, as I slowly made my way to the body on the ground.“No,” I muttered as I fell down on my knees beside my father. Tears rolled down my eyes, and I bit my lower lip till it bled. Using my shaky hand, I closed his eyes. My hands reached for his cold one, and I looked up and screamed. “No!” “This can't be happening to me! No” I cried.My father is the only family and friend I had left, he was the only reason I was trying to
Leo's POV “Sir Leo, we are looking forward to—” Alpha Marcus' speech was interrupted by the angry shout of goddess knows who. The person pushed the door so hard it left a huge crack we all could see. One more hit and that glass door was gone.“Marcus and Jasper!” She yelled. What audacity! I immediately snapped my eyes from the door to the angry lady who had just stepped in. The first thing I noticed was how wet she was. She had been drenched in the rain. Her hair stuck to her face, her black top and black trousers stuck to her skin as well, she didn't seem to mind that. Her hands were clenched on both sides of her. Her beautiful eyes filled with anger… and… pain? Stared sharply at the alpha and his son, not even sparing me a look, and shot daggers at the two before her. “Are you mad?” The son of the Alpha asked, and her small pink lips opened up even before the boy was done spitting out, “You and your fucking father, here, are the ones that are mad!” My brows raised, what con
Natalie's POVThose bastards dragged me to my room and locked me in there. I fell to the ground as I broke down in fresh tears again. If I get the chance, I wouldn't bother speaking to those bastards, I'll kill him. I'll shoot them severally all over their body like they killed my father.I knew they would come for me immediately when they were done with their visitors, so I quickly stood up and ran towards the door. I pulled it so many times, but it was locked from inside. I hit and slammed the door with my shoulder, but nothing worked as I whined in pain. After several attempts, I gave up. I looked towards the window and rushed to check how high it was. It was indeed high, but there is always a way out. I rushed to my wardrobe and began to tie my clothes together at each edge. Suddenly, I heard the sounds of footsteps and yelling from Jasper and his father. “It's over for you, you bitch!” Jasper cussed. I swallowed and tried to hurry up before he opened the door. I wasn't scared
Natalie's POVAs if drowning in water, I sucked in breaths as I forced my eyes to open. My breathing is heavy, my heartbeat, loud and fast. My eyes remained unfocused, the room I lay in made me wonder if I was with the moon goddess because everything in that room was white. Down to the bedsheet and the clothes that I am wearing. I looked down at myself and flashes of my last memory hit me hard. I closed my eyes, only to open them again with a snap. I remembered, I remembered what happened before I finally closed my eyes. I jumped up from the bed, shaking some things that were fixed on my hands. It hurt, but I didn't care as I looked at my hands and body if I was burnt. There was nothing, no burnt, no wounds, I was only pale. My hands quickly found their way to my flat tummy and the door immediately opened at the same minute.“You're awake” I heard the doctor who had just stepped him smile sweetly at me. I looked from him to myself, my hands, my legs, my body, was I saved? Who saved

Miles stood there flabbergasted as I showed him the plates that Will had used to eat. I refused to allow the maids to wash the plates, as I wanted Miles to see them. I was so excited, I didn't notice the looks the man was giving to me. When I realized that he was quiet and was just staring, I stopped as well. Although I had stopped jubilating, the smile still remained on my face. My lips still wide in pure delight. “What?” I asked him when he wasn't saying anything, he replied,“When did you change this much? How come little things like Will eating your food make you happy? How can you even cook so well? Why are you interested in Will liking you and accepting you? Since when did you start caring about things that you never considered important before?” His questions made my smile only grow wider but turned bitter. If only they knew, but would I tell? No. “Since I saw death with my own eyes,” I replied Miles kept staring at me, waiting for an explanation“At that moment, at that p
I didn't wait for Will to ask twice, I found myself in the kitchen arranging some spaghetti and fried chicken. As I served the meal, I kept tearing up, and I didn't know why! “Stupid tears!” I murmured as I wiped my tears. I didn't want my tears to drop in the food, didn't want it getting salty or, for any reason, Will doesn't enjoy it anymore. I kept wiping my tears away until I was done in the kitchen. I wanted to be the one to serve him, so when the cooks asked to help me take the food to the dining room, I refused. I wanted to serve my son, who wanted to eat my food. I had to walk back and forth, but I didn't care. Will was already seated on the dining chair, along with Grandfather. Although Will didn't say a word, I could tell that he was anticipating the meal, just with the glow in his eyes. As I served his food on his plate in front of him, I saw the lady, Mia, standing behind him. She didn't bother to sit, and I didn't care, I just wanted Will to like me. “Thank you,” I
The large scar on her back made me cringe. How can Clara do something like that to one of her maids?“What did you do?” I asked her in shock. She looked at me, surprised as well because why would I ask her such a question when I was the one who had done that to her? “Never mind, I remember now. I'm so sorry I hurt you,” I said to her, and her mouth literally fell right open. She didn't speak, but the expression on her face spoke volumes. She was damn shocked to the bones. “We're here, ma'am,” I heard the driver say. He was already standing beside the opened door, I looked out to see that we've gotten to the grocery store. I watched Ava come down from the other side of the car while I also came down. The driver bowed to me like I was some goddess, I only waved at him before walking with Ava into the shop. In less than an hour, we were already out with bags that the driver came to take from me the moment he saw me with them. Ava still couldn't believe that I knew so much about cook
I stood stunned at Grandfather for a minute before I finally blurted out with a small chuckle, “Me. But I don't want to accept that I am the same old Clara. I have decided to speak about her like she is a different person because this Clara you're seeing now is a different one,” Grandfather gave me suspicious looks, but I only kept giggling, a forced laughter if I must say. This old man could see past what I was showing him. I have a strong feeling that if I told him I was someone else who jumped into his granddaughter-in-law's body, he would believe me without any form of argument.But still, it isn't so easy for someone to believe that a being entered another person who was unconscious in the hospital. How do I go to him and say, 'I was burnt alive by my former father-in-law and husband, I prayed to the moon goddess, who is the god of werewolves, like me to spare my life and here I am, in the body of your granddaughter-in-law'.First question, A moon goddess? God of werewolves?
“Fine, fine, that's good. I'll be able to bond with my son,” I said with a smile that didn't reach my eyes. Grandfather looked at me for a long time, while I darted my eyes left and right, not meeting his gaze. He asked a question that threw me off guard,“Do you love him?” I tried to act neutral and respond nonchalantly, “Of course, I do. He is my husband,” “No, Clara. We both know you lost your memory. The feelings are almost gone or completely gone. Now, as a new person, do you love Leo? Or are you just doing all these because they are the family you have come to know after the loss of your memory,” I bit my inner cheek. With the way, he was looking at me, as if he were staring deep into my soul, I wondered if this man could see more than meets the eyes. I wish I could tear his heart and head and see what's in his mind, see what he was thinking. The same looks he gave me the first few days I came into the house was the same look he was giving me now. The looks that want to ma
When Miles left the house, I said to Grandfather, “Can you call your son, Leo, and ask him when he would be back?” He cocked his head at me as he asked, “Why? Do you have something you want to do before he returns?” “Well…” I drawled with a small smile on my face, “I'm actually setting a time frame for myself. I want to make sure Will gets to like me before his father gets back,” “Young woman,” Grandfather said, “Your son likes you,” I shook my head negatively before explaining to him what happened this morning. Will may like the idea of having a mother as a child, but he doesn't like me. He doesn't like me and if he is told that I am not his mother and maybe someone else was brought to him, that she was his mother, he would quickly leave and forget me. He only likes the idea that he had a mother, and maybe that's because he has friends who also have mothers and wants to be able to say he has a mother as well. “So you're saying if Leo gets married to someone else and brings he
