Natalie’s POV“I am your wife.”A chuckle escaped Leo’s lips the moment the words left my mouth. Although he laughed, I felt a shiver of fear run through my spine. He slowly turned to face me, I swear I saw his eyes flick from black to red. My heart skipped a beat and widened in shock, although it was within seconds, I had seen him. So many things about him make me weary of him and the same time, also want to stay within his reach.“You are what?” he asked coldly before taking slow steps towards me. Without thinking about it, I slowly took steps back, away from him. “Tell me, Clara, you are what?”I gulped, immediately regretting why I had said that to him. His sharp eyes which were now black again glared at me. I had moved back so much that I fell and sat on one of the couches.“Do not test me,” he murmured before walking out of the house. I released breaths I didn’t know I was holding for this long. The hair at the back of my neck that stood in fear slowly relaxed as I released mo
"How does it feel?" The old man asked. I had heard the door open but I didn't bother to look because I knew it wasn't Will. It might be Mia or someone else but it wasn't Will. And as I expected, it really wasn't Will. A small smile spread on my lips at Grandfather's question as I recall the touch, our moment together. How I was able to finally see him clearly without distance being a barrier. "It is a feeling I really wish to feel again." I may have touched his buttons and knelt in front of him, but I wasn't satisfied. I wanted more. I want to have him play with me, laugh together, and dress him. I want to watch movies with him. I want to have mother-and-son time with him. Those soft cheeks of his, I want to touch them, feel them, I want him to eat my food and like it. I want to see his eyes twinkle in joy and pure Bliss. "I don't like how he frowns. I don't like how cold he is," I turned to look at Grandfather, still on my knees, I said,"I don't like how he looks and acts like a
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
“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
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?
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 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
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 POVThe night came to an end with Miles finishing the rest of the meal even after grandfather had mentioned saving a little for Will. I didn’t find it though; I could easily prepare another for Will. I was more excited that Miles ate my food.I went to bed with a broad smile on my face, knowing that I was beginning to create a good impression in the heart of Leo’s brother.“What about our plan?” Angel asked me and I frowned, knowing that that would have to wait if I was going to focus on Leo and Will“I think the reason the moon goddess gave me Clara’s body isn’t because there was no other body available. The reason she had given me this body is that she wanted me to settle the family problem here.”“If there is anyone that has prayed for that, then I’m guessing it is Will,” Angel said, guessing, and I couldn’t agree less.I parked my hair in the middle before making my way to the bathroom to take a nice bath before going to bed. I’ll have to think of what to do tomorrow. Th
Natalie's POVI had taken two plates of food, and a glass of wine. As I ate, Grandfather came to join me when he saw how I ate the food hurriedly. As I gulp a glass of water after finishing my food, I heard Miles ask,"Is it that good?" He directed the question to grandfather who kept asking for more.I grinned sheepishly, I told them I was good at cooking, it was one of my specialties. Even when Jasper and his father refused to admit that my cooking was great, I still knew I was good.Grandfather nodded his head before raising his fork at Miles, he urged,"You need to try this. I tell you, you'll ask for more!"Miles' eyes remained on his grandfather as he watched the old man eat. I could sense how he was tempted to want to eat as well but he was holding himself back."Maybe I should just try a plate then," he sat down on one of the chairs before waving at the maid to come serve him some. I wanted to do it but I knew moving from my position might make him lose his appetite.One of th
