Transcript
00:01i am the third child of the alpha and luna of the blackwood pack but i am a wolfless my
00:06father
00:07wrapped me in a piece of animal hide and planned to throw me into the forest to feed the beasts
00:10maybe she is weak but not completely useless the elder side so i lived not because i was loved
00:18just because i still had a little use two months later my mother became pregnant again they almost
00:24disappeared completely from the pack site hiding in a secret den deep in the mountains as for me
00:29i grew up on the scraps my six-year-old sister lydia managed to feed me when i was little
00:34i was strong
00:34i could chew raw bones at six months she was afraid i would starve to death i just didn't have
00:40a choice
00:40later my mother finally gave birth to a real alpha heir alexander every day she carried alexander
00:47around the territory accepting congratulations and me i was just an extra pup in the den many times
00:54i was even tied beside the wooden bed with a rough hide rope as an omega i had to learn
00:59to do housework every day from the age of three my mother hated me she often stabbed me with
01:04silver needles she sent me to live in the worst house and made me do all the dirtiest hardest work
01:09because i was malnourished and forced to do labor far beyond my age i got sick often when i was
01:15five
01:15it was the age when young wolves were supposed to start basic training that same year i got very sick
01:21the fever wouldn't go down and i coughed for the entire night my coughing even spread to alexander
01:27only then did my mother reluctantly take us to a healer near the border my mother carried alexander
01:32and walked very fast as if she couldn't wait to get farther away from me mom i called out again
01:38and
01:38again but she never turned back that night the wind and snow were biting cold my hands and feet slowly
01:45lost feeling in the end i collapsed in the snow but when i woke up again i was lying on
01:52a soft bed
01:53soon a chubby woman walked in carrying a bowl of hot porridge i devoured the whole thing she asked where
01:59my home was and said she would take me back i told her my name was sansa from the blackwood
02:04pack
02:05she carried me on her back as we walked toward my home the teenagers chatted with me all the way
02:10halfway there snow began to fall again the boy walking in front quietly took off his fur gloves
02:16and put them on my freezing hands i heard lydia's voice from inside where's sansa why didn't she come
02:22back last night better if she died outside then she wouldn't come back and infect alexander i
02:28couldn't stop myself from coughing violently when my mother saw me there was no joy on her face
02:33only clear disappointment my father muttered under his breath why isn't she dead yet the snow fell
02:39harder and harder i stood in the yard watching their backs as they slowly disappeared the gloves
02:45on my hands were clearly too big yet i was still shivering from the cold my father ordered me to
02:49cook i didn't move he rushed out with a broom in his hand the woman suddenly returned through the wind
02:56and snow she stood in front of me and looked at me silently for a long time this child give
03:01her to
03:01me my family just happens to need an omega to help out that day in front of a blackwood pack
03:08elder
03:08and several witnesses from the pack the woman bought me and took me away with 16 silver coins
03:13she's a cursed disaster once you take her she's yours don't bring her back later if you decide you
03:19don't want her she just took my hand and led me away from the pack where i had been born
03:23her name
03:24was lisa she lived with a small werewolf family on the edge of the mountains but that was the first
03:29place where i ate a full bowl of hot soup that night she dressed me in her youngest son's old
03:34clothes
03:34then she bought me thick socks and boots at night she held me while i slept she smelled warm like
03:41a
03:41gentle wolf her three sons were kind to me too whenever there was something good to eat at home
03:46they always shared it with me first life like that was too good so good that i often wondered if
03:52i was
03:52dreaming winter grew colder and colder as the end of year approached lisa's mate david came home he was
03:59tall and very strong but his face looked serious when lisa pushed me forward to meet him he frowned
04:07our family is already struggling why did you bring another child home if you bring her here it's for
04:12life she doesn't eat much i couldn't just watch her get tortured to death i don't have any money left
04:19she keeps coughing i want to take her to see a healer tomorrow that night i buried my face in
04:25the
04:25blanket and tears quietly slid down my cheeks before the sun even rose the next morning lisa woke me up
04:32she said she was taking me to see a healer i grabbed the doorframe and refused to go outside
04:36i was scared finally david came over picked me up and carried me outside halfway down the road we ran
04:44into a healer who had come back to town to visit family he checked my body and said it wasn't
04:49anything
04:49serious just long-term malnutrition i took the medicine for three days and my body really did
04:55start to feel much better by then it was two days before the new year the town was preparing for
05:00its
05:00annual winter festival it was the first time i had ever seen a place that lively that was when i
05:05noticed a little boy he was being held tightly by a middle-aged man and woman his eyes were full
05:11of
05:11tears the man and woman clearly didn't belong to the pack when they noticed people staring they started
05:17to panic and tried to drag the blade through the force lisa had always been kind-hearted she
05:22immediately rushed over with us wait whose child is that
05:28our child mind your own business but the boy kept crying and shaking his head soon a crowd gathered
05:35around them the man and woman panicked completely in the chaos they abandoned the boy and ran into the
05:41forest lisa gathered us kids and prepared to send the boy home but he couldn't tell us where his home
05:46was
05:46he seemed mute you still have time to worry about others your husband fell off the roof
05:52go back and check on him lisa froze their family depended mostly on david working construction in
05:58the human city if something happened to him the whole family would collapse she told the oldest
06:03ryan to take us home you're the big brother now your brothers and sister are counting on you
06:13that day the snow fell heavily ryan led the four of us back through the snow step by step ryan
06:19cooked
06:20dinner but none of us had an appetite only the little boy who was starving ate a whole bowl when
06:25the sky was just starting to lighten lisa came back her eyes were red and she looked exhausted she
06:31packed up everything valuable in the house then went door to door borrowing money lisa borrowed from almost
06:37everyone in the pack in the end she only managed to gather a little over 1 000 silver coins
06:42i ran after her with a whole deer leg from the kitchen mom these can be sold for money too
06:50keep them for you kids to eat sasha you will always be your father and mother's daughter
06:55she told ryan to take good care of me and the little boy she said we shouldn't worry she would
07:00handle
07:01david's situation my birth mother heard about what happened she came to our house and spat on the
07:06ground angrily you're a jinx if this disaster comes back to my pack we won't take her she might as
07:12well die outside ryan grabbed my hand and said firmly sasha is my sister as long as i'm alive she
07:19won't
07:19go hungry we'll never send her back of course i want her to have a good life i wish she'd
07:24grow up
07:24rich and powerful but she just doesn't have that fate
07:30at lunch that day i only ate a small lump of rice about the size of an egg but ryan
07:35filled another
07:35bowl for me then he placed the last spoonful of meat into my bowl eat he also added another spoonful
07:42of meat to the little boy's bowl you eat more too the boy opened his mouth for a long time
07:47finally he struggled to say a word thank you in the evening lydia came to see me
07:53she looked at the clothes i was wearing did lisa buy you new clothes mom said if lisa decides she
07:59doesn't want you later she'll send you to the rogues i only came to tell you because you're my
08:03sister that night lisa didn't come back from the hospital i had a nightmare i dreamed i had been sent
08:10back to my birth parents they locked me in an iron cage and whipped me i woke up in terror
08:15then i heard
08:16loud knocking on the door outside and the elder's anxious voice
08:21ryan woke up too and hurried to open the door it turned out the little boy's parents had found us
08:26when the middle-aged woman saw the sleepy boy she rushed forward pulled him into her arms and burst
08:32into tears the boy struggled for a long time before finally saying mom she grabbed my hand and thanked me
08:38again and again sasha what do you want whatever it is i'll give it to you i just want my
08:44dad to be safe
08:48they're both kind people sansa's adopted sadly good people don't always get good luck
08:55good people deserve good things your father will be fine early the next morning they took us to the
09:02healer's house they transferred david out and moved him to the healer's house of the redwood pack
09:07only then did we learn who they really were they were the alpha and luna of redwood
09:12if it weren't for you ethan would have been taken by the rogers if we lost him redwood would lose
09:18its heir soon the two women were crying together and somehow the shock even cured the problem that
09:23had kept him from speaking before
09:27when david came out of the operating room the healer announced that his leg had been saved
09:31three days after the surgery they drove us back to our pack ethan held my hand tightly
09:37sometimes i come he said slowly lisa talked with mary for a while then she crouched down and asked me
09:43gently would you like to go with them i looked at lisa in panic did mom think i was bad
09:47luck
09:49mary and ethan like you if you go with them you'll have a better life mary hugged me you're a
09:55good
09:55child we'll see each other again because of the delay in treatment david's leg still had some
10:01lasting problems if he walked too fast he would limp lisa often told pack members that if i hadn't
10:08noticed something strange about ethan that day our family might have fallen apart even david called me
10:13his lucky star everyone praised me only my birth parents didn't care in their eyes if it weren't
10:19for me maybe david wouldn't have fallen in the first place they still didn't like me but it didn't
10:24matter anymore as long as my mom dad and brothers loved me that was enough a few days later mary
10:31and
10:31chris brought ethan to visit david mary said they could arrange for my dad to work as a patrol guard
10:36in the redwood pack the pay would be 500 silver coins a month and the job would be much easier
10:41than
10:41construction she asked if he wanted it as for lisa she could apply to be a substitute teacher at redwood's
10:47werewolf academy if she did well she might even become a full-time teacher later and for the four
10:52of us kids she said she could help arrange for us to transfer into redwood's werewolf academy lisa was
10:57worried about causing them trouble but mary said it was nothing she only hoped that my brothers and i
11:02could spend more time playing with ethan in the future because after ethan returned home he stopped
11:09talking again the only time he tried to speak was when mary told him they were coming to visit us
11:14news of this good fortune quickly spread through the whole pack even my birth parents in the blackwood
11:19pack heard about it before ethan's family left my birth parents came to our house my birth mother
11:24wore a warm smile i had never seen before she grabbed my hand and said i went through so much
11:29pain to give
11:30birth to sava i'm her real mother my birth father came over and grabbed my arm david we thought it
11:35over
11:36we just can't bear to give up this daughter sansa should come back and live with us
11:43lisa panicked and rushed forward trying to pull their hands away be gentle please don't hurt the
11:49child but my birth parents didn't loosen their grip at all mary frowned but didn't say anything at
11:54first she crouched down and asked me quietly are they really your parents i pressed my lips together
12:02and stayed silent i knew they only wanted me back because the redwood pack was much stronger than
12:07blackwood mary understood that my birth mother was telling the truth her expression turned troubled
12:13my birth mother forced another smile i don't really ask for much just get my son into the redwood
12:19academy and help us deal with those rogues on the border mary only looked at me i gathered all my
12:24courage pointed at lisa and david they are my parents my birth mother's face changed instantly
12:32she started cursing loudly my birth father even raised his arm to slap me at that moment david
12:38stepped forward and shoved him hard my daughter is not someone you get to hit then he picked me up
12:44and handed me to lisa take sansa and stand back david was usually quiet but now he walked to the
12:49corner and grabbed the weapon from the wall since sansa calls me her father you're not taking her
12:55away my birth mother looked embarrassed and angry i gave birth to her that's the truth sansa did help
13:01ethan but lisa the one who stepped forward when it mattered if we treat sasha well it's also because
13:07of lisa she paused before continuing the pack has its rules we can't break them just to arrange favors
13:14my birth parents didn't get what they wanted i felt like i had caused trouble and tears kept falling
13:19from my eyes mary gently touched my head sansa don't cry you did very well lisa spent a few days
13:26packing up everything at home five days later we moved to the redwood pack mary arranged for us to
13:32live near the alpha's palace so ethan could easily come and play with us we started attending the
13:37werewolf academy together with ethan no one there knew he was the alpha's heir he was very smart but
13:43because he had trouble speaking clearly he was often bullied i was afraid of the other wolves too
13:48after all i was just an omega but i knew i had to protect him so whenever someone tried to
13:53bully
13:53him i would stand in front of him there were many kids in our family and i always encouraged ethan
13:58to
13:59talk little by little his speech became clearer though every time he helped me with homework
14:04he would call me an idiot and honestly i wasn't very smart
14:10my grades were always average but my brothers were amazing they were almost always at the top of their
14:16class lisa was very busy she knew this job had been arranged by the alpha so she worked extremely hard
14:23teaching her students and never dared to slack off the students all loved her when the class she taught
14:28graduated with excellent results lisa passed the exams and evaluations and officially became a full-time
14:34teacher david never slacked off at work either other patrol guards often slept during night shifts
14:39but he stayed awake and patrolled all night he was also very helpful and often covered shifts for
14:44others one day when some rogues attacked the pack the other wolves hesitated to step forward
14:49david fought back fiercely he defeated the rogues and protected the pack secrets but he was seriously
14:55injured in the process mary came to visit david and reminded him seriously not to do something like that
15:02your life comes first david gave a simple honest smile you're the one who gave me this job protecting
15:09the pack is my duty the elders all came to check on him as it happened the patrol captain was
15:14being
15:15transferred somewhere else the elders announced that david would become the new captain he had earned
15:20it with his life on the line and no one objected the elders also offered to let our family officially
15:25join the redwood pack and receive its protection so we settled down in redwood our living conditions
15:31improved a lot when my birth mother heard the news she still refused to give up she didn't want to
15:37lose the chance to cooperate with redwood when we went back to visit our old small pack once she
15:42secretly came to me and said even if you stay in redwood you're still just a useless omega let
15:47alexander go study at redwood academy when he grows into a powerful alpha you can return to
15:53blackwood and live under his protection i ignored her and pushed her out you're so annoying
15:57i stopped being part of blackwood when i was five she left while cursing
16:04to avoid more harassment from her and to focus on our studies lisa kept us living in redwood and
16:09rarely took us back there again every werewolf found their mate when they turned 18 time passed
16:14quickly before i knew it i was 15 one day my grandmother fell ill so lisa took us back to
16:20visit
16:20her she wasn't my real grandmother but she had always treated me kindly and i did my best to take
16:26care of
16:26her on the second day after we arrived my birth mother showed up at the door with a rough-looking
16:31middle-aged rogue he was the mate she had chosen for me you're an omega your future mate will be
16:37some lowly omega anyway kane is a powerful wolf he's a bit older than you but he has real strength
16:43much better than whatever useless mate you'd end up with keen looked me up and down clearly pleased
16:49he raised two fingers confidently i'll pay 200 000 silver coins if you give me a strong air
16:56i'll give another hundred thousand later my birth mother pulled lisa aside and lowered her voice
17:01i won't take it all i'll take 150 000 you take 50 000 you didn't raise this girl for nothing
17:09santa is only 15 she hasn't even reached the age to find a mate that's exactly why this is the
17:16perfect
17:16chance once she finds a mate you won't get a chance like this then she grabbed me and pushed me
17:22toward
17:23keen keen seized me roughly and tried to mark me i fought back with everything i had after several
17:29years at the werewolf academy my abilities had improved a little my wolf claws scratched across
17:34keen's face he held in pain and threw me aside curling up on the ground everyone was shocked lisa
17:41quickly pulled me behind her just then mary arrived with ethan to visit my grandmother when she heard
17:47what happened she was furious she announced that redwood would cut off cooperation with blackwood
17:52and ordered people to drive my birth mother and the rogue away i returned to redwood with mary and
17:56continued going to academy with ethan he had great grades and was handsome so he attracted a lot of
18:01attention because of him people kept staring at me and asking questions it gave me a lot of pressure
18:10one day after school i couldn't help saying ethan maybe we should walk home separately from now on
18:15why people keep saying we're dating do you even finish your homework no then why do you have time
18:21to listen to gossip so in the end he kept walking home with me like always still i had another
18:27problem
18:27a lot of girls asked me to deliver love letters to ethan after i played messenger a few times ethan
18:33actually reported me to lisa after that i had no choice but to refuse the job which made quite a
18:39few
18:39female wolves angry at me my grades still didn't improve even lisa eventually gave up trying to tutor me
18:44only ethan kept teaching me every day again and again and again he was so persistent that i felt too
18:50embarrassed to slack off so i worked as hard as i could the next spring something happened to the redwood
18:56pack
18:56the pack secrets were leaked and rogues from nearby areas launched attacks mary and chris fought on the
19:02front lines the whole time for years our family had lived well in redwood under ethan's family's
19:07protection now the pack was in trouble and we were ready to defend it too my three brothers even
19:13prepared to go to the battlefield mary was touched but she refused she held lisa's hands and said quietly
19:19krimis and i die in this war please take care of ethan don't worry i'll treat him like my own
19:25child
19:26on the surface ethan looked the same as always but i knew he was struggling as the air he wasn't
19:32allowed
19:32to go to the battlefield he had to stay in a safe place and wait watching him grow thinner day
19:37by day
19:37made me anxious so i stayed with him every day one afternoon the school unexpectedly gave us half a day
19:43off i dragged him out for a walk near the safe border of the pack the weather suddenly changed
19:48strong winds blew across the riverbank and there were very few members around the wind made my head
19:54spin and i was about to suggest going back then we saw an old man fall into the river not
19:58far ahead
19:59he struggled in the water splashing desperately about to sink i didn't think about anything else
20:05i kicked off my shoes and jumped into the river
20:10as an omega i had learned to do all kinds of work since i was little i could swim when
20:14i was three
20:15but when someone is drowning they grab anything they can the old man locked his arms tightly around
20:21my neck i swallowed a lot of water luckily ethan found a long bamboo pole and pulled both of us
20:27to
20:27the shore the moment i climbed out he started yelling at me are you crazy trying to play hero
20:34if i hadn't found that pole you'd both be dead he looked really scary i hugged my arms and shivered
20:41ethan i'm cold his eyes were red he took off his coat and wrapped it around me
20:47sancha don't do something like that again okay but the old man wasn't the only one we pulled out of
20:54the
20:54river another wolf climbed up too the moment he stood up he rushed toward the old man and tried to
21:00kill
21:00him at the critical moment ethan ran forward and stopped him they started fighting but ethan was
21:06still underage against a fully grown wolf he was quickly pushed back when the rogue raised his weapon
21:12to stab ethan i rushed forward we struggled together somehow i felt a strange power building inside my body
21:19like something about to burst out and somehow i killed that adult wolf ethan brought both me and the
21:25old man to the healer's house i was actually fine but ethan insisted the healer examine me soon lisa and
21:32mary arrived one after the other they were terrified and both lectured me for acting so recklessly
21:37just then someone knocked on the hospital room door is this santa's room mary turned around and looked
21:45surprised elder michael why are you here lisa and i were both shocked the most respected elder of the
21:52werewolf council michael looked just as surprised you know sasha she's a member of our pack i glanced
21:58at lisa she gave me a small encouraging nod mom am i just a member aren't i your dear daughter
22:05mary
22:06froze for a second then quickly understood you silly child patting my head michael had come to thank me
22:12but i shook my head it wasn't just me who saved you if ethan hadn't been there both the elder
22:17and i
22:18would have drowned he was the one who held the bamboo pole on the shore ethan just can't swim
22:22otherwise he wise would have jumped in himself michael looked at ethan with approval mary redwood
22:27has a very kind air after escorting michael out mary came back and thanked me quietly thank you but
22:33michael wasn't easy to fool mary said that he would definitely investigate what happened about a month
22:38later chris returned from the front lines the werewolf council had sent troops to help redwood
22:43resist the rogue attacks they also helped uncover the traitor who had leaked the pack secrets the
22:48council usually insisted on neutrality they didn't favor any pack only the strong survived but this
22:55time the investigation revealed that someone within the council had leaked redwood secrets to the rogues
23:00and had even tried to assassinate michael to make up for their mistake the council sent forces to help
23:05redwood and finally
23:07peace
