Natalie's POV
As 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 me? Did the Moon goddess give me a second chance? The doctor gave an instruction to one of the nurses beside him, but I didn't hear him. I was too enveloped by the wonder of how I had survived the fire. Even if the moon goddess had saved me, there was no way she must have done that without me getting wounded. The fire was so close, I could feel the burn on my skin. How then… “Can you hear me?” I blinked my eyes at the doctor only to nod. “Do you feel any pain?” And I shook my head. “No discomfort of any such? Headache?” Again, I shook my head. I don't feel any pain at all. In fact, I feel fine. “Can you speak?” He asked me and I nodded. My hands pressed on my stomach, I was about to ask him how my baby was doing when the door opened. A man walked in, long legs covered in black straight trousers, and a black suit with white inner. My eyes moved from his suit to his face. When my eyes finally met his, my breath hitched. “Doctor” he shook hands with the doctor who quickly received the handshake with a smile. “Mr Leo, your wife is awake” he grinned, and I blinked in confusion. The Mr. Leo turned to me and looked into my eyes, causing me to hold my breath. He didn't say a word to me, but instead turned to the doctor. They began to speak to each other. I couldn't hear a thing, and I wished I could hear what they were speaking about. “Who?” I asked, but so low that even I couldn't hear myself. “Thank you so much, doc” The man who was tagged as my husband finally spoke loudly before they both turned to me. “I had asked her if she felt any pain or discomfort, but she assured me that she was fine now?” The man turned to look at me before asking, “How are you doing, honey?” “Wh…at?” I choked on my saliva. Honey? Did Jasper change his face? Jasper can never be this good-looking or even calm. That beast can never be this man. What's his name again… “Leo?” “Hm?” He answered as he walked over to where I sat on the bed before he gave me a peck on the cheek, causing my heart to skip in my chest. I slowly turned my head to meet his eyes and I swear, I almost passed out from how I held my breath. He was more handsome as he was so close by. My eyes scanned his handsome face, and I just couldn't tear my eyes away from his face. Suddenly, that delicious smell, that smell that caused my heart to begin to pound in my chest in anticipation, came rushing in. This feeling, I had only experienced once, when my wolf happily informed me that Jasper was my mate. That day, my joy knows no bounds. My grin was as shiny as the sun. I was so sure of that feeling, so what's going on now? Why was my wolf leaping so much for joy, just like the last time? The smell of him was ten times sweeter, and more delicious than Jasper's, why? I was about to reach him after a while of staring at him in a daze, but he had already pushed himself away from the bed where he placed his hands before. “Let's go home, babe” he smiled before walking to the doctor, “Let's settle the bills,” he said to the doctor and they both began walking outside the hospital room What's going on? I cannot help but ask myself as I stare in a daze. My wolf suddenly leaped inside me the moment the door closed, “Mate!” What the fuck! Her joy was causing me to feel so good and so much joy as well, but I was as confused as fuck because what was going on? Jasper is my mate, right? Did the moon goddess give me another chance, as she gave me another chance and saved me? I looked down at my skin again as I wondered how I didn't get burnt. How did the moon goddess do it? How did I get a new mate? My skin looked pale, but aside from that, I looked extremely slim. I wondered how long I'd been in the hospital. I should ask the doctor or any nurse. Just then, the door pushed open. “Mrs. Leo, your husband has paid the hospital bill, you can now finally leave the hospital. According to the doctor, we'll come to check up on you from time to time at home, okay?” The nurse said to me as she helped me off the bed. I dare not nod, I sat there in a daze, Mrs. Leo? My husband? What the fuck is going on?!?Natalie's POVI sat in the back of the car along with the handsome man everyone called my husband. I tried to force my eyes not to move to stare at him. His handsome face always causes me to forget what I was doing but stare at him. I decided to distract myself by looking out the window of the car. The roads were different, it was like I was in a different part of the earth. What is going on?How did I even survive that? And what happened to my baby? I wasn't opportune to ask about my baby. Why is Leo my husband instead of Jasper?Questions filled my thoughts, I wondered what was going on. The so-called husband wasn't even giving me any attention. He has been on call since we stepped into the car. It was from one call to another. They kept saying stuff relating to business that I did not understand.Soon, the car drove into a large compound that caused my mouth to drop. The compound was so big that my eyes couldn't help but grow wide in awe. “Wow” I exclaimed, my mouth dropped wide
Natalie's POVThe moment I shut the door, I rushed back to the mirror, “What the hell is going on?!?” I tried not to scream, but I couldn't help it. I was screaming? My mouth was also moving in my reflection. That was me, that is me. The person in the mirror is me! “Are you okay in there, Clara?” The old man asked.“Clara?” I wondered. Who is Clara?“I'm… I'm fine, thank you” I replied in a hurry, hoping that he would leave already. I didn't hear any more sounds. I began to pace around the large room in panic. I wondered if I was dreaming, so I kept pinching myself hoping to wake up, but I was still here. “Angel?” I called, was she here with me as well? “Clara,” she responded, and my heart shattered to pieces. My wolf doesn't recognize me as well,“Angel, it's me, it's me, Natalie” I explained, but she called again,“Clara,” and I burst into tears. What happened? How did all these happen? How am I in someone else's body?Before I knew it, Angel burst into laughter. She laughed so
Natalie's POVStepping out of the room, I made my way back to the living room then the dinning, where I saw the family already seated and eating. There were three other people I met there that made me wonder who they were. A small boy of around three to four years old, a guy who never raised his head even when he knew someone had joined the table, and a lady, around my age or so. They didn't respond to me and only continued eating. I wondered if they were angry that I had come in late, so I said,“Sorry, I'm late. I was having my bath,” They all simultaneously snapped their heads to look at me, while I narrowed my eyes. What did I do wrong? My husband, Leo, was staring at me intensely before he returned back to his food. Everyone followed suit without accepting my apology. “Weird,” Angel acknowledged, and I nodded because I couldn't agree less. I cannot seem to understand this family. Who were the three other people? In fact, I need to know everyone, one after the other. I mean,
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
