Short filmTranscript
00:00The day my mother's suicide, I decided to break the bond with Serafina.
00:03She'd been testing me for three years, pretending to be packless, pretending to be weak.
00:09Day 1, I held mother's funeral alone.
00:12Day 3, I donated all my money to the orphanage.
00:16That money was meant for our mating ceremony.
00:19Day 5, I returned the keys to the rented apartment.
00:23Serafina's lip curled.
00:25She snarled that following me meant she couldn't even have a decent roof.
00:28Now we had to move again.
00:30I didn't answer, just packed in silence.
00:32My silence enraged the war.
00:35She left with Daymon, back to the pack estate.
00:38One month later, I saw her in the remote mountain village.
00:41I bought our old apartment.
00:43Her eyes were red.
00:44Let's go home.
00:47Seven days after mother died, Serafina finally returned the money.
00:52Take this. Save your mom.
00:55Daymon paid off my debt.
00:56Her tone was stiff. Resentful, even.
00:59Still angry that I'd chosen mother over her that day.
01:02I stared at the bank card. My vision blurred.
01:05I said nothing. Serafina's face darkened.
01:08I knew it.
01:10Your mother is more important to me!
01:12I already returned the money. Are you still angry with me?
01:16She threw the card to the floor.
01:18It clattered on the tiles.
01:20My heart tore open.
01:21The pain was unbearable.
01:24I remembered that day, when I delivered food to her company.
01:27What Daymon had said.
01:29Omega's like Elias' mom.
01:30The ones who raise their sons alone, they get possessive.
01:33They compete with mates for their sons' loyalty.
01:35Now that his mom is sick, you need to test him.
01:38See who matters more.
01:39His mother, or you.
01:41The more he suffers, the more it proves he loves you.
01:44We're not actually broke.
01:45We just need to see if he'll put you first.
01:47That night, Serafina told me she'd broken her boss's precious vase.
01:52She needed to repay it fast, or face-pack justice.
01:55That was the first time I felt exhausted.
01:57I didn't want to play this game anymore.
01:59I'd known the truth for a year already.
02:01She was the Alpha Cain's daughter.
02:03Serafina of the Southern Pack.
02:05She couldn't be broke.
02:06She couldn't owe debts.
02:09A year ago, I was working part-time at an elite club, saving for buying a house.
02:14I watched her open a bottle of wine that cost three years of my wages.
02:18She laughed with the high-born wolves around her.
02:21Elias gave me everything.
02:22His mother's savings, everything he earned.
02:25I think I want to accept the mating bond.
02:29That's when I understood.
02:29Her father's gambling debts, the car accident she caused, all tests.
02:35Then Daymon leaned in.
02:36Love is sweet at first, but time reveals true nature.
02:40You're worth millions in pack assets.
02:42What if he's just after your status?
02:44Serafina nodded.
02:46After that, she never mentioned mating again.
02:48But she still lived in the shabby apartment with me.
02:51Rode the bus, ate street food.
02:53So I pretended not to know.
02:55I worked harder, treated her better, hoped she'd trust me enough to complete the bond.
02:59But this time, it was mother.
03:01Life or death.
03:03She shouldn't test me with lies.
03:05Not now.
03:05I went cold for the first time.
03:07My voice was firm.
03:09The money goes to save my mother first.
03:11I didn't expect what came next.
03:13Serafina transferred all of mother's healing funds away.
03:16I just wanted to see your attitude.
03:20You didn't even hesitate.
03:23Elias, I was wrong about you.
03:25She spat those words and vanished.
03:27No calls.
03:28No messages.
03:57Later, I saw Damon's social media.
03:58I already treated her.
03:59Nothing was delayed.
04:00Why are you still angry?
04:01Do you know how hard it was for me to ask Damon for help?
04:04He's loved me since we were pups.
04:06But I chose you.
04:08Even now, she was lying.
04:09I had no words left.
04:11Serafina thought I was sulking.
04:12She sneered.
04:13I was going to visit your mother.
04:15But with this attitude, I'm not going.
04:17She slammed the card onto the floor again.
04:19Her footsteps faded.
04:20I crouched down, picked up the card, put it in my pocket.
04:24Then I grabbed my bag from behind the couch, followed her trail down the stairs.
04:28Dusk was falling.
04:29She climbed into Damon's sports car.
04:31The engine roared.
04:33I walked the opposite direction, slow and steady.
04:36If Serafina had looked closer, she'd have seen the apartment was already empty.
04:40Nothing of mine remained.
04:43Seven days of mourning.
04:45Time for mother's funeral.
04:46Only a few relatives came.
04:48The ones who'd watched me grow, who truly cared.
04:51They looked behind me, confused.
04:53Something this important.
04:55Where's your girlfriend?
04:56Mother lived poor her whole life.
04:58These people were real.
04:59I tried to say we broke.
05:01The words stuck in my throat.
05:03Uncle slammed his hand on his knee.
05:05Your mom gave Serafina's father all her savings, just to pay off gambling debts, to free her from suffering.
05:12And your savings, you gave it to Serafina for that car accident.
05:16Your mom was so stressed, she worked herself sick, trying to save money for you.
05:20Then she ended it so you'd have something left.
05:22And Serafina couldn't even come to the funeral.
05:25I hung my head.
05:26Shame burned through me.
05:28How could I tell them?
05:29It was all lies.
05:30Serafina was the Alpha's daughter.
05:32Her tests drained me and Mother dry.
05:35Mother worked until her body broke.
05:37All because of false debts.
05:38She suicided with Sliver to leave me money.
05:41For a life with Serafina.
05:43She died not knowing.
05:44It was never necessary.
05:46Serafina was rich.
05:47So rich.
05:49Every hardship we faced was just a test wrapped in love.
05:55I looked at Uncle's aged face.
05:57I changed my answer.
05:58Serafina's here.
06:00She's coming from another state.
06:02Probably got held up on the road.
06:04I'll call her.
06:05I stepped into a corner.
06:06Dialed her number.
06:07I just wanted her at the funeral.
06:09To comfort Uncle.
06:10The call connected.
06:11I whispered into the phone.
06:13Serafina, can you come?
06:14My mom.
06:15She.
06:16I said I'm not visiting her.
06:18She cut me off, irritated.
06:19And I'm working right now.
06:21Damon's my friend.
06:22But I want to pay him back quickly.
06:23You'd only take a loan for your mom.
06:25Not for me.
06:27So I had to handle it myself.
06:29She hung up.
06:29I called again.
06:30The line went dead.
06:32Two notifications.
06:33A video.
06:35Serafina was in the biggest club in Texas.
06:38Putting a birthday crown on Damon's head.
06:40Today, the most important thing is our birthday boy, Damon.
06:44Her voice was soft.
06:45No one interrupts today.
06:46Balloons.
06:47Champagne.
06:48Cake.
06:49Laughter.
06:49It was the opposite of Mother's quiet funeral.
06:52Gotta keep him waiting.
06:53Just a broke wolf.
06:54He dares get mad at our Alpha's daughter.
06:57Right?
06:58Like his Omega mom deserves Princess Serafina's care.
07:01Does she even have that blessing?
07:02The video cut off.
07:04My chest caved in.
07:05I couldn't breathe.
07:06The funeral ended.
07:08Serafina never came.
07:09I kept calling.
07:10Hoping she'd at least apologize to Uncle over the phone.
07:13Uncle pressed my hand down.
07:15Turned off the screen.
07:16Stop.
07:17I can guess.
07:18You two broke.
07:19He patted my shoulder.
07:21It's fate.
07:22Not your fault.
07:23Just live well.
07:24So your mother rests easy.
07:26Simple comfort.
07:27But it shattered me.
07:28I buried my face in his shoulder and sobbed.
07:31Then my phone rang.
07:33Serafina.
07:34Finally calling back.
07:35But it was too late.
07:36I meant to decline.
07:37My fingers slipped.
07:39I answered.
07:39Her voice was tight.
07:41What happened?
07:42Is something wrong with your mom?
07:43It's handled.
07:44Handled?
07:45Then why did you call so many times?
07:47Her tone flared with anger.
07:49Were you trying to make me worry?
07:51You're different now.
07:52Not like before.
07:53I'm starting to wonder if you've...
07:55Sorry.
07:56I cut her off quietly.
07:57It won't happen again.
08:00After that call, Serafina didn't contact me.
08:03I knew what she was doing.
08:04Waiting for me to apologize first.
08:06This time I wouldn't.
08:07Once I finished mother's funeral, I messaged the landlord, terminating the lease.
08:11Then I went back to the apartment one last time.
08:13To pack Serafina's things.
08:14But the familiar room hit me.
08:16Memories crashed over me like a wave.
08:18The couch, scratched by the previous tenant's cat.
08:20Serafina once sat there with me, sharing a single can of soda.
08:23She'd said laughing,
08:24I'm not helping you save money.
08:27I'm doing it for my health.
08:28The kitchen with its secondhand hot plate.
08:30Serafina used to flinch when oil splattered.
08:32Later, she could chop, fry, and stew like a pro.
08:35She'd said, proud and excited.
08:37I practiced at home for so long.
08:40I'd been lost in her smile.
08:41Didn't notice the words.
08:42Didn't realize her home was the estate.
08:44With a five-star chef teaching her.
08:46If I'd known from the start, she was the Alpha Cane's daughter.
08:49We'd never have had a future.
08:50I wouldn't allow such an unequal bond happened.
08:52But I learned the truth two years in.
08:54After I'd already fallen.
08:55Too much joy.
08:56I couldn't let go.
08:57The cracked walls.
08:58The peeling door.
08:59The bathroom too narrow to stretch in.
09:01It all showed her sacrifice.
09:02Her compromise.
09:03She bent so much for me in ways I didn't see.
09:05I worked so hard to make it worth it.
09:07To honor what we gave each other.
09:09But the tests never stopped.
09:10An endless cycle, like Pandora's box, opened.
09:13Doubt and fear flooded the bond.
09:14Can love, tested by lies, still be called love?
09:17I was tired.
09:18Too scared to love again.
09:21A ripping sound.
09:22Like something tore in my chest.
09:24I zipped the suitcase shut.
09:25All our past sealed inside.
09:27The lock turned.
09:28Serafina opened the door.
09:29She saw the empty room.
09:30The bag in my hand.
09:32Her voice rose.
09:33Elias, what is...
09:34I looked at her evenly.
09:35I'm going back to my hometown.
09:36Your hometown?
09:37Why didn't you discuss this with me?
09:41Why did you pack my things too?
09:42I agreed to live in this dump.
09:46That was already a huge compromise.
09:48I'm not following you to your poor hometown.
09:50I nodded.
09:51I'm going alone.
09:52Serafina's fury spiked.
09:54Because of what happened?
09:55You're kicking me out?
09:57You've become completely unreasonable.
10:00You know he's rich.
10:01He's been chasing me, but I chose you.
10:03And this is how you treat me?
10:05I met her eyes.
10:06Not a trace of guilt in them.
10:07Maybe she'd lied so long she believed it herself.
10:09But Serafina, I know he's rich.
10:11I know you're rich too.
10:12I smiled, bitter and mocking.
10:14I stayed silent.
10:15Her rage built in my silence.
10:16I was so wrong about you.
10:18She turned and shouted down a game.
10:19Take me home!
10:20Since someone doesn't appreciate me living poor with him,
10:23I'll go back where I belong.
10:24To your lakeside estate.
10:26My expression was blank.
10:27My voice flat.
10:28I'll carry your bag down.
10:32Serafina was even angrier.
10:33She didn't speak.
10:34Just stomped down the stairs.
10:36I followed.
10:37Numb.
10:38Dragging the suitcase.
10:39For a moment, I saw myself two years ago, smiling, pulling a suitcase upstairs.
10:46Serafina bouncing behind me, curious and happy.
10:49That version of me had said, guilty but sincere.
10:53We'll rent cheap for now.
10:55Once I save the deposit, I'll buy us a place with an elevator.
10:59Back then, I must have looked like a fool to her.
11:01I laughed silently, passing that ghost on the stairs.
11:05One going up, one going down.
11:07We were always heading different directions.
11:09I set the suitcase by Damon's car.
11:13She's yours now.
11:14I caught the contempt in his eyes.
11:16He looked at the bag like it was dirty, covered in dust from the cheap stairwell.
11:20Or maybe he was looking at me that way.
11:22The poor wolf from another world.
11:24It didn't matter anymore.
11:26This was probably the last time I'd see them.
11:28I turned to Serafina, smiled faintly.
11:31Goodbye.
11:32Not see you later.
11:33Goodbye.
11:35Forever.
11:36Wait.
11:36Damon, stop me.
11:42If you're cutting ties, cut them clean.
11:44The money you spent on Serafina, I'm paying it back.
11:47After this, you owe each other nothing.
11:49Disdain dripping from his face.
11:52Tossed it carelessly.
11:53It landed on a glob of spit on the pavement.
11:56This kind of area.
11:57Hygiene was never great.
11:59I crouched slowly.
12:01Turned over the phrase in my mind.
12:03Owe each other nothing.
12:04Nothing.
12:05That moment, I understood the feeling stuck in my chest.
12:08Resentment.
12:09If this bond had been a game from the start, pure cruelty, I could hate cleanly.
12:15But Serafina's lies held real feeling.
12:17That truth trapped me.
12:19Made me lose mother.
12:20I peeled the card off the ground.
12:22Wiped it with tissue.
12:24Tucked it in my pocket.
12:25Damon crowed.
12:26See Serafina?
12:27He still cares about the money he spent on you.
12:30Even when I threw it in filth, he picked it up.
12:33No dignity.
12:34No pride.
12:36I didn't react.
12:37I turned and walked away.
12:38They didn't know.
12:39The money on that card was clean.
12:41It was the sincere savings of a devoted son and his mother.
12:45Meant to help Serafina with real debts.
12:47Their genuine love.
12:49I disappeared around the corner.
12:50Serafina shouted Damon hard.
12:52Don't talk about him like that!
12:55I went home.
12:56Paid off the loan immediately.
12:58Donated the rest to the orphanage where...
13:00Applied for a teaching post in the remote territories.
13:03That money, holding our family's love, should go where it's needed.
13:07I needed to do something meaningful.
13:09The application was approved.
13:11I packed my bag.
13:12Met Serafina at the door.
13:14Elias, where are you going?
13:16I startled.
13:17Then I remembered I'd given my suitcase to the neighbor's kid.
13:19I was holding two plastic bags.
13:23Taking out the trash.
13:24I forced a smile.
13:25Didn't want to talk.
13:26Okay.
13:27Come back quickly.
13:28Serafina looked serious.
13:29I need to talk to you.
13:31I nodded.
13:32Walked past her without expression.
13:33Got in the taxi waiting at the corner.
13:36The airport.
13:37Fast as you can.
13:37At the gate.
13:38I exhaled in relief.
13:40About to power off my phone.
13:42Serafina's messages flooded in.
13:43Then a call.
13:44I accidentally played a voice message.
13:46It auto-played the rest.
13:47Where are you?
13:48Why is all the furniture covered in dust sheets?
13:51What's the white paper on the door?
13:53They're saying your family just had a funeral.
13:55Who died?
13:56A voice cracked.
13:57Panic rising.
13:58How is mom?
13:59What happened?
14:00Elias, answer your phone.
14:02The phone buzzed non-stop.
14:04Message after message.
14:06Calls dropping and redialing.
14:08I could feel her desperation through the screen.
14:10Just like the day of mother's funeral.
14:11When I'd wanted her there.
14:13Fate is fair sometimes.
14:14I held down the power button.
14:16The screen went black with a faint vibration.
14:18Serafina, we have no future.
14:20Whether you want to confess or finally care about mother's health, it's too late.
14:24Some things once missed are gone forever.
14:28The plane climbed into the sky.
14:29Our past dissolved in the clouds.
14:31I left decisively.
14:33But my heart wouldn't settle.
14:34Like a rope threaded through my chest.
14:36Someone pulled it now and then.
14:38Sharp little tugs of pain.
14:40Memories invaded without warning.
14:42Tormenting me.
14:42Every moment with Serafina felt more absurd the more I remembered.
14:46I thought giving everything proved my love.
14:48Compared to her endless lies, I looked like a fool.
14:51I despised myself.
14:53Failed mother.
14:54The two feelings tore me apart.
14:56I wanted to die.
14:57But thank the moon.
14:58In this remote village, there were innocent pups.
15:01They swarmed me.
15:03Chattering.
15:04Fighting to carry my water jug.
15:06Showing me their pet.
15:07I forced my mind blank.
15:09Focused on lesson plans.
15:10Adapting teaching methods.
15:12My insomnia healed.
15:13My mind calmed.
15:15Memories of Serafina faded.
15:17A month later, I turned and saw her.
15:18I realized I hadn't thought of her in weeks.
15:21But Serafina didn't look well.
15:22She wore a tailored dress again.
15:24High heels with crystal details.
15:26She looked expensive.
15:27But her hair was wild.
15:29Eyes bloodshot.
15:30Even her makeup was smudged.
15:31When she saw me, tears fell.
15:33Her voice shook.
15:35Elias.
15:35I finally found you.
15:38I'm sorry.
15:39I didn't mean to lie.
15:40I didn't mean to miss your mother's funeral.
15:41That day, Damon turned off my phone without telling me.
15:44Hearing her explain, I thought I'd feel sad.
15:46Or hate.
15:47Blame.
15:48Grief.
15:49Rage.
15:49Nothing.
15:50She stood in front of me.
15:51I felt nothing.
15:52Like she was a stranger.
15:54My expression was calm.
15:55I raised a finger to my lips.
15:56Shhh.
15:58Whispered.
15:58The pups are napping.
16:03Serafina looked at Elias' blank face.
16:05Her heart clenched.
16:06She felt suspended in midair.
16:08Surrounded by nameless panic.
16:10She remembered a month ago.
16:11After failing to reach Elias, she'd rushed to the hospital.
16:15They told her his mother had died.
16:16Suicide.
16:17Serafina froze.
16:18Couldn't process it.
16:19The healer said the surgery would cure her.
16:21Why did she suicide?
16:22Why didn't Elias tell her?
16:23Why did he disappear without a word?
16:25Did he blame her?
16:26Too many questions.
16:27No answers.
16:28A knot of pressure built in her chest needed release.
16:32I asked you to track Elias.
16:34Why did you lie?
16:37You know what photo you sent me?
16:39It wasn't her coming out of surgery.
16:41It was them taking her to the crematorium.
16:45Sorry.
16:46I had someone else handle it.
16:47Maybe they messed up.
16:49After all, we were on vacation abroad together.
16:52Or maybe he hid it from you on purpose.
16:54To make you feel guilty.
16:56Like you do now.
16:57Serafina stared at him in disbelief.
16:59Slapped him hard.
17:01Even now you're slandering him?
17:04Slander?
17:08That broke wolf is cunning and manipulative.
17:10He doesn't deserve you.
17:11Stop being delusional.
17:13His words were vicious.
17:14His handsome face twisted with jealousy.
17:16Serafina finally saw it.
17:18To Damon, Elias was trash.
17:20He'd always looked down on him.
17:22Never respected him.
17:23So when she'd wanted to complete the bond, Damon told her to wait.
17:26When Elias' mother got sick, Damon suggested the fake debt test.
17:29After calming down, she found Elias' uncle.
17:32Wanted information.
17:33Now you show up?
17:34Too late.
17:36Seeing the broken walls and shabby house, Serafina.
17:38I'm actually the Alpha Cain's daughter.
17:40I'm rich.
17:41Just tell me where Elias is.
17:43I'll buy you a house.
17:44House.
17:45We family won't sell loyalty for money.
17:47And we hate being lied to.
17:49The door slammed in her face.
17:51That moment she realized money isn't everything.
17:53That truth hit harder when she found Elias' cousin.
17:56Offered him 50 million dollars.
17:57Sorry, Miss Serafina.
17:58That's a big money.
17:59But if spending them brings guilt, not joy, I'd rather not take them.
18:03He left.
18:04No hesitation.
18:06Serafina sat frozen on the couch.
18:08Regret finally wrapped around her heart.
18:10Elias and his family were honest wolves.
18:12It was obvious from one glance.
18:14Why did she test him so many times?
18:17Just then, Damon burst in.
18:19Elias donated all the money on that card.
18:21Do you think he's suicide too?
18:23Like his mother?
18:24Broke wolves value money over life.
18:26If he's giving it all to charity, he must be planning to end it.
18:29Do something good before death.
18:32Stop thinking about him.
18:34You're from different worlds.
18:36Forget him.
18:38Be with me.
18:40Serafina looked into those eyes.
18:42Felt ice in her veins.
18:43She finally understood.
18:45Damon wanted her.
18:46She'd lied to Elias before.
18:48Said Damon loved her.
18:49But those were Damon's suggestions.
18:51To remind him Serafina had options.
18:53She wasn't desperate.
18:54Now she saw it was all Damon's plot to break them apart.
18:58Serafina grabbed his phone.
18:59Accidentally scrolled elsewhere.
19:01She saw it.
19:01Recently, Damon had sent Elias the video of his birthday party.
19:04Her mind went white.
19:06All she heard was her heartbeat pounding like a war drum.
19:09Why did you do this?
19:12He knows my identity.
19:14Because of you.
19:17I was ready to tell him the truth.
19:20But now, he'll think I was mocking him.
19:26She remembered that day.
19:27Elias had called so many times.
19:29Through the phone, she'd heard funeral music.
19:31Didn't pay attention.
19:32That day, she missed his mother's funeral.
19:34To celebrate someone else's birthday.
19:35Regret crushed her.
19:37If only time could reverse.
19:38Stop being naive.
19:39He's known for a year.
19:41The day I invited you to the Rosewood Club.
19:44He was working as a server.
19:46Saw you at the door.
19:48You did it on purpose?
19:50Turns out Elias is cunning.
19:51After that day, he treated you even better, didn't he?
19:54He just didn't expect his mom to die before he could lock down the bond to a rich alpha
19:58Sam.
19:59So now, he's probably hurt.
20:00Or blaming you for confessing too late.
20:02That's why he's playing hard to get.
20:04Shut up!
20:04He's not like that!
20:06He's a thousand times better than you!
20:08Serafina slapped him again.
20:09Tears streamed down her face.
20:11She remembered.
20:11Damon gave her all his savings.
20:13That's why Elias worked three jobs.
20:15That's why Damon arranged for him to see her at the club.
20:17And when his mother was dying, she'd fake that debt.
20:20Serafina's face burned.
20:21Like she'd been slapped.
20:22So shameful.
20:23So humiliating.
20:25What did Elias thought?
20:26Watching her lie while he knew the truth?
20:28He must have been devastated.
20:29That's why he got angry for the first time.
20:31Used harsh words.
20:32And she'd been offended.
20:33She took all the healing funds in spite.
20:36She didn't know that Elias, who knew everything, was suffering more than her.
20:39Serafina collapsed to the floor, sobbing.
20:41I have to find him!
20:42I have to apologize in person!
20:45But when she finally found Elias, saw his indifferent eyes, her heart seized.
20:50Irrational fear.
20:52I bought our old house.
20:54It has our memories.
20:55I don't want another tenant ruining them.
20:56Come back with me.
20:58Let's complete the bond.
20:59I don't need a house, a car, mating ceremony.
21:02Just you!
21:06Elias, I can't lose you!
21:07She grabbed his sleeve, eyes desperate, almost begging.
21:11I looked at Serafina.
21:12Everything felt like mockery.
21:14Once, I'd dreamed of mating with her.
21:16A ceremony.
21:17A shared life through all seasons.
21:19But it came after I'd run out of patience.
21:20After my heart died.
21:22Too late.
21:22Broken mirrors don't mend.
21:24Spilled water doesn't return.
21:25We can't go back.
21:27A wolf who escaped a long, dark road and finally saw light doesn't turn around.
21:31I pulled my arm free.
21:33Polite.
21:34Detached.
21:35Let's talk outside.
21:36Don't wake the students.
21:38Leave.
21:40We have no future.
21:41No!
21:42We can go back to how we were!
21:44I-I won't lie anymore.
21:47I'll listen to everything you say.
21:52And...
21:53Mom always wanted us to be happy, didn't she?
21:56My calm shattered.
21:57I pressed my lips together.
21:58My eyes went cold.
21:59Do you know why my mother took the silver?
22:04That day, you transferred all the money away.
22:06I knew you were lying.
22:07I was devastated.
22:08Punched the wall.
22:09Bloodied my hand.
22:10That same day, mother saw my injuries.
22:12While I was out getting the loan, she chose to end it.
22:15She thought she was the burden.
22:17That she made me suffer.
22:18I'll never forgive myself.
22:20And I can't be with you anymore.
22:22You indirectly caused this.
22:23Do you understand?
22:25I didn't know.
22:26I swear I didn't mean it.
22:29Daemon was manipulating me.
22:31He said you didn't care.
22:33I got confused.
22:35I wanted you to apologize.
22:38I'm sorry, Elias.
22:39I'm sorry.
22:42Please, let me make it up to you.
22:46Serafina had never been this low.
22:48The proud Alpha's daughter.
22:49When had she ever bowed?
22:50Now she clutched my pants, voice shaking, nearly prostrate.
22:54Her eyes held endless pleading, real guilt.
22:56Crouched down, spoke again.
22:58I took a long breath.
22:59You know what?
23:00After mom gave all her savings to your fake gambling debt father, she felt unsafe.
23:05So when I put everything into your fake car accident, she secretly took hard labor jobs back home.
23:11The kind, even young wolves quit after a day.
23:14The healer said overwork likely caused her sickness.
23:18I don't want to blame you, but all of this stems from your lies.
23:23I'm sorry.
23:25I'm sorry.
23:27I blinked away the sting.
23:28My voice was rough.
23:29I know.
23:31Serafina, I don't want to hate you.
23:32I want to call this fate.
23:34But can you please stop appearing in front of me?
23:37Every time I see you, I can't help the sadness.
23:39Can't help remembering mother.
23:41Can't escape the guilt.
23:42It hurts too much.
23:44This time she didn't speak.
23:45I stepped back.
23:46My pants slipped from her hands.
23:48I turned, walked toward that classroom full of hope.
23:51That's where my redemption was, and the ones who needed saving.
23:54Serafina's figure fell behind me.
23:56Maybe my grief affected the sky.
23:58Rain started to fall.
23:59The curious student said later,
24:01That person on the field knelt in the rain for hours.
24:03Head bowed the whole time, but none of it concerned me anymore.
24:06Her small regret couldn't turn back time.
24:08Couldn't fix anything.
24:11Not long after, the school received a huge anonymous donation.
24:14New buildings, dorms, teacher housing, all top materials.
24:19Every month I got a letter from Texas.
24:21Cold winds come, wishing you safe autumn.
24:23Year's end brings snow, wishing you warm winter.
24:26Flowers bloom in spring, don't forget to enjoy them.
24:28Every letter ended with, I'm sorry.
24:30Meanwhile, the news showed constant reports.
24:32The Southern Pack holding charity events.
24:34Mom, I've decided to spend my life here.
24:38I hope you don't blame me for not taking the traditional path.
24:42I hope the changes in me and Serafina bring you happy.
24:46We'll meet again then.
