Natalie POV“So you are the woman Richard married “ a powerful voice washed over me,his grip tightened as he reeked of alcohol making my tummy churn.The masculine voice felt strange which made me uneasy.“Natalie hill” he said and my stomach dropped.The sound of my name rolling down his lips caused my heart to stutter in fear.His hand pressed against my waist with his hold tightened around me refusing to let me go.A shiver of disgust rolled down my spine at his touch.I could feel his body heat wash over me with pain erupting violently in my head.My heart sank and my wolf growled low in my chest.I let out a hoarse sob as tears kept running down my face.“ Who are you?” I demanded as he shoved me harder, slamming my back at the edge of the wall.He grabbed my jaw squeezing it hard and I winced as the pain hit my grip due to the harsh grip.I suppressed a gasp as soon my gaze laid on him wide eyed.He shot me a small smirk , his face remained blank with his heavy gaze boring int

Natalie POVSoft chuckles echoed faintly, but I knew there was no escape for me.A heavy lump formed in my throat with all eyes laid on me as the air stiffened around me amidst the dazzling golden light.I glanced around with tears streaming down my face, my hands trembling as the priest stared directly into my eyes, searching for answers.“Do you, Natalie Hill, take Richard as your lawfully wedded husband and promise to cherish him forever? “He asked, his tone flat, and an awkward silence fell as his words cut through me.I pursed my lips, trying not to glare at the man who stood before me.I hesitated for a moment, my nail digging into my palm with knots tightening in my tummy.“Yes, I do," I let out a whisper, my tone faltering, shaking my head, and gasps filled the air.My heart thundered, and my chest heaved as those words escaped from my lips.The words felt like ice shards ripping my flesh apart.I sucked in a hard breath, swallowing my saliva as the priest flashed a stoic expr

Natalie POV"Oh, come on, Natalie, this is your only chance to have a wedding ring," Lydia sneered, her tone malicious .She sat relaxed on the cushion in my room,her legs crossed ,her fingers brushing against the golden bracelet hanging on her wrist.Her gaze shifted to me with resentment in her eyes as if she just saw something dirty and the look made my heart race.I swallowed the lump forming in my throat, stepping closer and closing the door behind me, which made a jerking sound.Silence washed over us.The air went still ,my heart thumped loudly as I stared at her.Lydia was Darren's sister, but she never showed an atom of affection towards me.Seeing her here made my heart beat wildly in my chest which meant one thing: this was not a friendly visit."What are you doing here, Lydia?" I asked with an irritation in my voice, breaking the silence in the room.Her lips curved into a mocking laughter but I held my composure.“I came here to say my final goodbye to you," she said with

Natalie POV“Where is that bitch?" Kathleen, my mother-in-law, sneered, her voice sending a huge shrill down my spine.I was in the kitchen preparing dinner when her voice rang out, making me knock over a dish, which accidentally broke with its fragments splattering on the floor, with a sharp piece seeping into my flesh.A soft gasp escaped my lips.Something metallic slipped down my toes, staining the damp slippers I wore, but I ignored the pain biting into my skin.My steps were heavy with her voice cracking through the air like a whip. My fingers trembled as I descended the stairs, my face pale with concern, striding inside the living room.Something stirred in my belly, but I struggled to maintain my composure.“Good morning," I greeted, my words tasting like metal in my mouth as her stare rested on me.Nothing good ever came from my mother-in-law's visit to the house, which made my life feel like a living hell.“What's good about this morning?” She asked in an icy tone, her voice

Natalie POV"Congratulations, Luna!"The words hit me the moment I stepped into Dr. Martinez's office, followed by his warm, beaming smile. I stood frozen in the doorway, my purse still clutched against my chest."Congratulations for what?" The question tumbled out before I could stop it.His smile widened as he gestured for me to sit. "Luna, you're pregnant. About six weeks along, from what the tests show."The world seemed to tilt sideways. "There has to be some mistake.""No mistake." His voice carried gentle certainty as he slid the test results across his desk. "The blood work confirms it."I stared at the paper, the numbers and medical terms blurring together.Pregnant.The word echoed in my mind like a stone dropped into still water, creating ripples that spread outward, touching everything.My chest constricted, making each breath feel forced.How was I supposed to tell Darren? We'd been together for two years, but we'd never talked about children, never planned for this. He h
