00:00I was a slave, yet every night, I had to take Luna's place and sleep with the alpha dot.
00:04On the bed, I begged him to mark me and make me his mate dot.
00:08He only laughed it off dot.
00:09You're nothing but a lowly slave.
00:12Do you really think sleeping with me makes you my mate?
00:16I closed my eyes in despair dot.
00:18Every member in the pack knew how deeply the alpha loved Luna dot.
00:21The next day, I found the elder and knelt before her.
00:24I was willing to form a blood bond with the alpha's heir, the one who was already dying dot.
00:28The elder looked deeply moved dot.
00:30Once the blood bond is sealed, you will never have another mate for the rest of your life.
00:34She warned gently.
00:36Are you really willing?
00:38I will never regret it.
00:40Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the alpha and Luna standing nearby dot.
00:44Both of their faces had gone completely pale.
00:47You're trembling, my little wolf.
00:49His long, slender fingers slid down my spine inch by inch,
00:52sending a series of electric-like tingling sensations through me.
00:55Is it because you're cold, or because you want me too much?
00:58On the night of the full moon, the alpha came to Luna's room again.
01:01The two of them sat close together by the firelight,
01:04leaning against each other as they whispered sweet words for a long time.
01:07Jasmine's face flushed red as she finally went to wash up.
01:10Before leaving, as usual, she put out all the lamps.
01:13A few minutes later, I pushed the door open and stepped inside.
01:17Jeremy looked up and smiled.
01:19What took you so long?
01:20He reached out and pulled me into his arms, but then frowned.
01:24Why are you so cold?
01:26I stayed outside for a while to watch the snow.
01:29In truth, I had been standing outside in a thin dress the entire time,
01:32waiting in the cold so I could step in the moment Luna left.
01:35He wrapped me tightly in his arms.
01:37His body was burning hot.
01:39The moment my chest pressed against him, it felt like being pulled into a fire.
01:43The warmth slowly melted the numbness in my frozen fingers.
01:47The next moment, he leaned down and kissed me.
01:49His rough hand tore open my thin dress without hesitation.
01:53His teeth sharpened as they pressed again and again against the side of my neck,
01:56the place where a werewolf marks their mate.
01:58Because I carried Luna's scent, he could not recognize that I wasn't his true mate.
02:02Every time his teeth came close to breaking my skin, my body trembled uncontrollably.
02:07That instinctive shiver of fear seemed to please him greatly.
02:10A low, satisfied sound escaped his throat as his hands tightened around me,
02:14rubbing warmth back into my chilled body,
02:16trying to chase away the cold I had carried in from the snow.
02:18The night passed in chaos.
02:20Before dawn, I slipped away quietly.
02:23Luna was waiting for me in the room next door.
02:26Ignoring the ache in my waist,
02:27I knelt and repeated every word the alpha had said during the night.
02:31Her gaze fell on the marks along my neck, and her expression darkened instantly.
02:35Later, she lay down beside the alpha as quietly as she could.
02:38Suddenly, he opened his eyes and lifted a strand of her hair between his fingers.
02:43Seeking other man behind my back?
02:45He said lightly.
02:46It sounded like teasing.
02:47Luna shyly hit his shoulder in protest.
02:50I quietly stepped out of the room.
02:52Jasmine was beautiful, but she was weak.
02:55Because of that, she had never found her mate.
02:58At the mating ceremony, Jeremy fell in love with her at first sight and chose her to be his Luna.
03:02Under the witness of the moon goddess, they marked each other as mates.
03:06As Jasmine's slave, I had truly been happy for her.
03:09But on their wedding night, Jasmine fainted on the bed.
03:12Jeremy was a powerful alpha.
03:14In bed, he was far too dominant, and Jasmine simply could not endure it.
03:18For three nights in a row, they failed to complete the mating.
03:21Jasmine quickly became the joke of the entire pack.
03:24Many wolves whispered that sooner or later, the alpha would abandon her.
03:28In desperation, she came up with a shocking solution.
03:31Every night, once the lamps were put out, someone else would take her place and sleep with the alpha.
03:35Among all the servants, only I resembled her in figure and voice.
03:39Jasmine promised me that I only needed to replace her for three years.
03:43Once her health improved, she would release me from my life as a slave.
03:46Slaves were the lowest beings in the pack.
03:48And if I wanted to escape that fate, I had no other choice.
03:52An hour later, Jasmine and Jeremy finally got up.
03:55I returned to my room to rest for a short while, then went back to prepare breakfast.
03:59Jeremy looked at me and frowned.
04:01Why are you dressed so strangely?
04:03I pressed my lips together nervously.
04:05Unable to answer.
04:06Jeremy was rough in bed and often left suspicious marks on my body.
04:10The only way to hide them was to wear high-collared clothes.
04:13Jasmine gently nudged him.
04:15You forgot?
04:16Emma is mute, she can't speak.
04:19Then we would debut rather you about this.
04:22I hurriedly nodded.
04:23Jasmine was afraid the truth might come out, so she never allowed me to talk.
04:27Everyone in the house believed I was mute.
04:29This little mute is quite delicate looking.
04:32Poor thing.
04:33What do you mean by that?
04:35Don't tell me you like her?
04:38She glanced at me coldly, a hint of cruelty hidden in her eyes.
04:42Jeremy laughed.
04:43I haven't even blamed you yet and you're already blaming me.
04:46He rolled up his sleeve with a half smile.
04:49Look at this.
04:50Wasn't this you're doing last night?
04:52The ring of bite marks made my body stiff.
04:54Last night he thrust into me too violently.
04:57My throat was hoarse from crying and in anger and panic.
05:00I had bitten him.
05:01For them, it was nothing more than playful teasing between mates.
05:04But I could only lower my head and kneel on the ground, my hands and feet cold.
05:08As soon as Jeremy left, a splash of scalding tea was thrown at me.
05:12I looked up and saw Jasmine's furious face.
05:14The next moment, a slap landed hard across my cheek.
05:18Bitch!
05:19How dare you bite the alpha?
05:21Are you trying to provoke me?
05:23She had my hands and feet tied and ordered the servants to drag me to the woodshed.
05:27No food.
05:28No water.
05:29The alpha had gone to patrol the PAX border and would not return for several days.
05:33So I was locked there for several days.
05:35When I was nearly dying, my younger sister Alice bribed the guard at the door and managed
05:39to pass me a bowl of soup.
05:40She was my real sister.
05:42We both served Luna, but she had no idea that I was the Luna stand-in in the alpha's bed.
05:46Emma, what did you do to hang the Luna?
05:49She whispered anxiously through the crack in the door.
05:51I shook my head.
05:52Instead, I asked when the alpha would return.
05:55Tonight, it's the full moon.
05:58We'll come back to see Luna.
06:00The alpha's air is getting worse.
06:02The healer says there's no cure.
06:04The elders want him to form a blood bond, but no one in the pack is willing.
06:07Alex was Jeremy's son with his first Luna.
06:10He was the next heir to the Blackwood Alpha, but he had been born under a curse and had been
06:14bravely ill his entire life.
06:15In the pack's tradition, if the heir died before becoming alpha, he had to form a blood bond
06:20with a living wolf.
06:21Only then could the pack's peace be protected, but once the blood bond was formed, that wolf
06:26could never take another mate for the rest of her life.
06:28Even slaves weren't willing do such thing, let alone noble wolves.
06:32By dinner time, I was finally released.
06:35Jasmine had the table prepared and spoke with a hint of apology.
06:47After a moment of silence, I cautiously brought up the matter of leaving my slave status.
06:52Jasmine's expression changed instantly.
06:54You want to leave?
06:56I nodded carefully, but she replied casually.
06:59My health hasn't recovered yet.
07:01The alpha still needs you.
07:03I looked up in shock.
07:04She had promised it would only be three years.
07:07Jasmine smiled faintly.
07:09If you insist on leaving, then Alice can take your place.
07:13Your sisters.
07:14Your voices and figures are similar.
07:17And don't think about asking the alpha for help.
07:19To him, you're nothing but a toy.
07:22Even if you are not a slave, I can still get rid of you anytime.
07:25I could barely breathe.
07:27Even slaves are allowed to have mates.
07:30The gamma's son is about your age.
07:33At next year's mating ceremony, he can become his mate.
07:37The gamma's son had been born with a weak mind, but he was cruel by nature.
07:41He enjoyed beating members.
07:43At that moment, I understood.
07:45She wanted to keep me completely under her control, forcing me to remain a hidden substitute for the rest of
07:50my life.
07:51When Jeremy returned, I was still kneeling on the floor in a daze.
07:55Jasmine stood up with a gentle smile.
07:57Alpha, you're back.
07:59You must be tired after these past few days.
08:01Emma broke something important, so I made her kneel for a while.
08:05Jeremy barely looked at me as he walked past, his hair slightly messy, exhaustion written across his face.
08:10How did Alex's matter go?
08:14The blood bond frightens all the members.
08:17No she-wolf is willing.
08:19Just pick one.
08:20Control her family if you have to.
08:22Money or punishment, something will work.
08:25The elder Mary doesn't like you much.
08:27If you handle this well, she might change her mind about you.
08:31Of course.
08:33Every time Jeremy returned from patrol, he would spend the entire night with me.
08:37That night, I used every bit of strength I had to respond to him.
08:41Several times Jeremy lost control.
08:43He grabbed my waist and laughed under his breath.
08:47Why so eager tonight?
08:48Miss me that much?
08:49I said nothing.
08:51Struggling to lift myself up, I placed a trembling kiss beside his cheek.
08:54When dawn was about to break, I finally came back to my senses.
08:58I tried to push him away, but he caught me and pulled me back into his arms.
09:03Still trying to leave.
09:10My sense of smell is extremely sharp.
09:13You carry Luna's scent, yes.
09:16But I can still recognize you're not her.
09:19I've known about your little trick for a long time.
09:25Then when does the Alpha plan to free me from my slave status?
09:30You belong to Luna.
09:32If I personally freed you, wouldn't that hurt our relationship?
09:37What's your name?
09:38From now on, I'll have someone bring you some jewelries.
09:41Once Luna recovers, you can serve in her chambers.
09:44You won't need to do the rough slave work anymore.
09:47I closed my eyes with quiet bitterness.
09:49Luna had been right.
09:50Why give a title to a toy he could have for free?
09:53Seeing that I showed no reaction, Jeremy's tone grew colder.
09:57You've only slept with me for a few years.
09:59Don't get ahead of yourself.
10:01Isn't it enough that I'm letting you avoid the hard labor?
10:04You should also think about your Luna's reputation.
10:07I've never liked greedy female wolves.
10:11I understood very clearly.
10:13A slave like me could never escape that identity so easily.
10:17Besides, he had to maintain the image of a loving mate with Jasmine.
10:20Her father was one of the Pax Elder and had supported Jeremy in many ways.
10:24He would never risk his reputation.
10:27Those words just now were nothing more than a moment of pity after his desire had been satisfied.
10:31I said peacefully.
10:33A lowly slave like me would never dare ask for a title.
10:36I only wish for the Alpha and Luna to be blessed by the moon goddess.
10:40When Alice heard that Jasmine planned to give me to the Gamma's son, she burst into tears.
10:45We've served her for so long.
10:46How can she be so cruel?
10:49I said nothing more.
10:51Instead, I went straight to the Elder Mary and asked to see her.
10:54I told her I was willing to form a blood bond with Alex.
10:58May was both shocked and delighted.
11:00She asked my name and age.
11:01After the witch finished her calculations, she nodded repeatedly.
11:05Emma is extremely compatible with Alex.
11:08Though she was born lowly, she carries the blessing of the moon goddess.
11:12A blood bond between them would greatly benefit the entire pack.
11:17Jeremy and Jasmine arrived soon after.
11:19When they entered, I was kneeling beside May, gently massaging her legs.
11:24So this is the wolf who's willing to form a blood bond with Alex.
11:29I wonder which family she belongs to.
11:31Such kindness is rare.
11:33May, I must reward her well.
11:35I turned and bowed.
11:37Alpha, Luna, it is me.
11:40When Jeremy saw my face, he froze in surprise.
11:43Aren't you mute?
11:45I can speak.
11:46Luna simply doesn't like my voice and forbade me from talking.
11:50In just a few sentences, Jasmine's face turned pale.
11:53May held my hand, her expression full of approval.
11:56I never expected you to have such a loyal wolf serving you.
12:01But once the blood bond is made, you will never have another mate for the rest of your life.
12:08I will never regret it.
12:10Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jeremy's hand tightened slowly at his side, disbelief written across his
12:15face.
12:16Mary patted my hand gently.
12:18Emma, what do you want as a reward?
12:22Money, treasures, anything within my authority, I will give you.
12:26I turned to look at Jasmine.
12:28There was a faint chill in my gaze.
12:30Her smile stiffened, and she instinctively stepped back half a step.
12:33I have a younger sister named Alice.
12:36I asked the elder to free her from her slave status.
12:38That is no trouble at all.
12:40I will remove her slave mark and ensure she lives safely within the pack.
12:43Jasmine opened her mouth as if to object, but Jeremy interrupted her with a low voice.
12:47She's only a slave.
12:49The elder wants her, then give her.
12:51May's expression darkened slightly as she stared at Jasmine in silence.
12:54You are spines.
12:55Jasmine bit her lip.
12:56In the end, Alice and I were finally no longer slaves.
12:59After Alice was no longer the slave, Mary promised she would arrange a safe place for her to live.
13:04Grateful for that, I swore that I would take good care of Alex.
13:07When Mary spoke of the unfortunate heir, her voice trembled with emotion.
13:12Alex had been born under a curse.
13:14When he came into the world, the former Luna died in childbirth, and the newborn Alex had stopped breathing as
13:19well.
13:19The pack's healer used strange and extraordinary skills to bring him back to life.
13:23But that act had gone against the will of the moon goddess.
13:26Even if Alex survived, he would never live past the age of 20.
13:30As he grew older, his health only became worse.
13:32In the end, he was moved to a small cabin deep in the forest to recover, with only the healer
13:37staying by his side.
13:39Since I had agreed to the blood bond, I would have to remain with him from now on.
13:42When the healer brought me into the cabin, Alex was still asleep.
13:46He was 17 this year.
13:47His features were delicate and refined, completely different from Jeremy, who had spent years fighting in battles.
13:53I can feel his strength returning.
13:55It's the wolf in him, it's a powerful thing.
13:58By the time the sun set, Alex finally woke up.
14:01So you're the wolf who plans to become my mate after I die?
14:06Yes.
14:06I knelt properly and raised the bowl of medicine above my head.
14:10Please drink your medicine.
14:11He took the bowl calmly.
14:13Then, with a slight turn of his wrist, he poured the dark medicine straight into the flower pot beside the
14:18bed.
14:18I don't want to drink it.
14:20What are you going to do about it?
14:22I stared at him in silence.
14:23The healer had told me that Alex was a kind person.
14:26When he was younger, he once fell into a lake while out with other wolves.
14:30It had been said to be an accident, but in truth, someone had pushed him.
14:35No one investigated it deeply at the time.
14:37He remained unconscious for several days afterward.
14:40Mary was furious.
14:42She drove all the servants who had been attending him out of the pack, turning them into rogues.
14:46Since then, Alex had refused to let any wolf serve him.
14:49I knew he wasn't someone who looked down on slaves.
14:52He simply carried old scars in his heart.
14:55And the way he was taking his anger out on me now.
14:57Perhaps it was because he resented this arranged blood bond.
15:00The healer had also told me that Alex hadn't taken his medicine for half a year.
15:05If this continued, he might not live much longer.
15:07After hesitating for a few seconds, I suddenly reached out, held his chin, and leaned down to kiss his cheek
15:13lightly.
15:14His skin was cold.
15:15When our breaths brushed together, a shiver ran through me.
15:18Alex leaned back slightly.
15:20His throat was so thin it looked fragile, and a strange flush spread across his face.
15:25His eyelashes trembled with anger.
15:27I forced my racing heart to calm and said as steadily as I could.
15:31If you refuse to drink your medicine, I'll kiss you again.
15:34Alex glared at me fiercely.
15:36After a long moment, he grabbed the bowl and drank the medicine in one swallow.
15:40The fish in the lake had been released there by Alex himself when he was younger.
15:43The healer said that when his health had been a little better, he used to sit there and feed them.
15:48Recently, I noticed that the colorful fish seemed unusually listless.
15:52So I began to watch more carefully.
15:54Soon I discovered the reason.
15:56Every morning, several stray cats slipped over the low stone wall along the shore.
16:01They would slap the surface of the water, scattering the fish,
16:04and sometimes they even clawed through the fish food I had prepared, leaving it scattered everywhere.
16:08One morning, I was crouching by the shore picking up the spilled food.
16:11My fingers had just touched the cold water when Alex's calm voice sounded behind me.
16:16They can sense the scent of predators.
16:18If you stay there, the fish won't dare come close.
16:21Alex was sitting in his wheelchair.
16:23The morning mist had dampened the tips of his hair, and his face looked even paler than usual.
16:28I stood up.
16:28The cats keep disturbing the fish.
16:31I was thinking maybe I could build a small fence along the shore.
16:35He looked at the lake for a moment before answering.
16:38There's leftover wood in the storage room from when this cabin was built.
16:41It might be useful.
16:42I hadn't expected him to agree.
16:44I quickly went to look for it.
16:46The wood was piled in a corner, covered in thick dust and patches of mold.
16:50I picked out the usable pieces and carried them to the lake, then found some rope and wooden stakes.
16:55I planned to hammer a simple fence along the shore, but I didn't have much strength.
16:59No matter how hard I struck the stakes, they barely moved.
17:02My palms turned red from the friction, and sweat gathered at my temples.
17:06Clumsy.
17:07Alex's voice sounded behind me.
17:09When I turned, I saw that he had somehow wheeled himself closer.
17:12In his hand was a small copper hammer, probably something the healer had left on the porch.
17:17He extended his hand.
17:19Give it to me.
17:20His fingers were cold.
17:21I hesitated before handing him the stake and hammer.
17:24But he didn't take them.
17:26Help me stand.
17:27Startled, I hurried forward and supported his arm.
17:30His arm looked thin, yet there was surprising strength in it.
17:33With my help, he slowly stood up, staggering slightly before finding his balance.
17:38He took the hammer.
17:39With one light strike, the stake slid firmly into the ground.
17:43The movement was smooth and precise, nothing like someone who had been sick for years.
17:47Hold the wood.
17:48I'll hammer.
17:49I pressed the plank down as he worked.
17:52Each strike of the hammer sent a faint vibration through my hands.
17:55The air carried the faint scent of medicine from his body.
17:58Sunlight filtered through the bamboo and fell across his face, outlining the soft lines of his features.
18:02His eyes were lowered, his long eyelashes casting shadows.
18:06He looked so focused that I almost forgot to breathe.
18:09When he was hammering the third stake, he suddenly began coughing.
18:12His body swayed slightly.
18:14I hurried to support him.
18:16You shouldn't push yourself.
18:17Rest for a while.
18:19It's fine.
18:21The weather is good today.
18:23Better to finish it now.
18:26But his face had grown even paler, and a thin layer of cold sweat covered his forehead.
18:30Without arguing, I helped him sit back in the wheelchair and wipe the sweat from his face.
18:35I'll finish the rest.
18:37You should rest here.
18:38He didn't argue again.
18:40He simply sat there and watched me work.
18:42I copied the way he had hammered the stakes.
18:44Though I wasn't nearly as skilled, I slowly managed to get the hang of it.
18:47By the time the sun rose high in the sky, the simple fence was finally finished.
18:52I sat beside him, catching my breath.
18:54The fish gradually swam back toward the shore, pecking calmly at the food on the water's surface.
18:59Watching them settle down again filled me with a quiet warmth.
19:02After a while, Alex suddenly spoke.
19:04Did you always like doing things like this?
19:06I paused, remembering the days when I worked under Jasmine, days filled with constant fear.
19:11I lowered my head.
19:12I just wanted to do my duties well.
19:15He was silent for a moment.
19:17Then he said quietly.
19:18You don't have to force yourself so much anymore.
19:21There's no one else here.
19:23You don't need to be so careful.
19:24I looked up at him.
19:26His gaze was resting on the lake, and his tone was calm.
19:29But those simple words warmed my chest.
19:31Since becoming a slave, no one had ever treated me with such consideration.
19:36Jasmine had seen me as a tool.
19:37Jeremy had treated me like a toy.
19:39Yet here, by this quiet lake, for the first time, I felt like I was being treated as a
19:44real pack member, not something lesser.
19:46Just then, the healer came looking for us.
19:49Reminding Alex it was time for his medicine.
19:52When he saw the fence, he laughed.
19:54So you finally bothered to do something.
19:57You used to ignore even the fallen leaves in the yard.
20:00Alex's lips curved slightly.
20:01He didn't answer.
20:03He simply turned his head and glanced at me.
20:05For the first time, there was no cold distance in his eyes.
20:08Only a faint, almost unnoticeable warmth.
20:10The healer was delighted when he saw that Alex had started drinking his medicine.
20:14I leaned over to wipe the dark stain from the corner of his lips.
20:17Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed his thin hand gripping the edge of the blanket tightly.
20:23You've clearly gotten better these past few days.
20:26Your body isn't as weak anymore.
20:28The medicine is working.
20:31Medicine is useless.
20:33The healer works very hard to prepare it.
20:36If you keep refusing it, he'll be heartbroken.
20:40When you brew it, you have to keep testing the temperature.
20:44I've only done it for a few days and my hands look like this.
20:48He's done it for you for years.
20:50Alex's gaze fell on my hands.
20:52He pressed his lips together for a moment.
20:54Then finished the remaining medicine at the bottom of the bowl.
20:57From that day on, he never made me argue with him about taking his medicine again.
21:02Half a month later, the healer reported to the elder that Alex had truly begun to recover.
21:06Much of it was thanks to her.
21:08Someone blessed by the moon goddess, whose presence balanced his cursed body.
21:12Inside the hall, everyone's eyes turned toward me.
21:15Mary beckoned for me to sit beside her and asked Alex.
21:18How has Emma been serving you?
21:20Alex paused for a second.
21:22She has taken very good care of me.
21:24She nodded with satisfaction.
21:26The way she looked at me grew even more affectionate.
21:29Suddenly, Jasmine covered her mouth and laughed softly.
21:32Alex might not know, but when Emma used to serve me,
21:34she was quite skilled at skilled at serving the alpha as well.
21:38The hall fell silent instantly.
21:40My hands began trembling uncontrollably, though I forced myself to stay calm.
21:44Alex looked at her coldly and said in an even tone.
21:46Is that how you speak about the wolf blessed by the moon goddess?
21:50The elder's expression darkened.
21:53Luna, you may be young, but you should still know proper conduct.
21:57As Luna, watch your behavior.
22:00Jasmine pouted, tears shimmering in her eyes.
22:02Later, Alice came to see me.
22:04That was when I learned what had happened.
22:07Jasmine had found another substitute.
22:09She had bought a trained she-wolf from outside the pack,
22:11someone whose voice and figure were almost identical to hers.
22:15That night, the alpha lit the entire room, Alice told me quietly.
22:19When he realized it wasn't you, he flew into a rage.
22:23He beat the wolf half to death and threw her in front of Jasmine.
22:26She hesitated before adding.
22:29The alpha also said, since she refuses to mate with him, he'll never go to her again.
22:33I understood.
22:34Neither the alpha nor Mary liked her, and she had not given birth to an heir.
22:38Life for Jasmine would only grow harder.
22:40But there was one thing I still didn't understand.
22:43Jeremy had allowed me to replace the Luna for years.
22:45Why was it that the moment someone else took my place, he turned against Jasmine completely?
22:49The cabin was surrounded by water, and many fish were raised there.
22:53One evening, Alex accompanied the elder to feed them.
22:56In the night wind, his thin figure looked especially fragile.
22:59I returned to the house to fetch a thicker coat.
23:02As I passed through the corridor, someone suddenly slammed me into the toilet and covered my mouth.
23:07In the darkness, Jeremy's face loomed close.
23:10His narrow eyes were filled with fury.
23:12Are you really her?
23:13I struggled, but he gripped my chin tightly.
23:16Speak. Still pretending to be mute.
23:19I'll know whether it's you, after one night in bed.
23:23I stared at him in shock.
23:25I was about to become his son's mate.
23:27How could he dare say such a thing?
23:29I slept with that wolf for three years.
23:32And now she's going to become my son's mate.
23:36Wouldn't it be better to be my lover than to form a blood bond?
23:41Are you really willing to bind yourself to a dead man?
23:45I just want to survive.
23:48If I don't do this, I'll be forced to mate with that idiot and spend my entire life as a
23:53hidden siptoot.
23:54While he was still stunned, I stomped hard on his foot and ran.
23:57I stumbled toward the light ahead.
23:59And suddenly, Alex's figure came into view.
24:02He stood at the end of the corridor, frowning.
24:04Why did you take so long?
24:06My racing heart suddenly calmed.
24:08I forced a small smile and walked over, placing the coat around his shoulders.
24:12The healer chuckled beside him.
24:15He was worried something might happen to you and insisted on coming to look.
24:19Alex snorted quietly.
24:20I was afraid she'd fall into the lake and disturb the fish while they're sleeping.
24:25Beside the covered walkway, there was a bamboo grove.
24:28At night, the moonlight fell beautifully there.
24:31Alex liked sitting beneath it to feel the moonlight, and I would stay by his side.
24:34One night, when I was half asleep, I heard Alex ask softly.
24:38Why did you want to form a blood bond with me?
24:40I pushed myself upright and answered.
24:42Because I didn't want to become the mate of an idiot.
24:45Alex lowered his eyes slightly, his tone cool.
24:48I thought as much.
24:50After that, he said nothing more to me.
24:54Days passed.
24:55Before I realized it, nearly two years had passed since I came to live with Alex.
24:58His body was still weak, but it had stabilized.
25:01The healer was constantly researching new medicine and performing blessing rituals.
25:05During one ceremony, with candles burning before the altar.
25:10Make a wish.
25:12But Alex looked at me.
25:13You make the wish for me.
25:15I froze for a moment, then spoke sincerely.
25:18I wish for you to be happy.
25:20To recover your health and become alpha as soon as possible.
25:23In the flickering candlelight, Alex asked quietly.
25:26Is that what you truly wish?
25:28I looked away.
25:29Whether it was true or not didn't matter anymore.
25:32I only hoped the moon goddess would hear my prayer.
25:35Not long after that, Alex suddenly said he wanted to leave the forest.
25:38He had heard that there was a werewolf ceremony happening nearby.
25:41Since entering the forest, I had never attended one again.
25:44The thought filled me with longing.
25:46To avoid drawing attention, we slipped out quietly through the back door of the cabin.
25:50At the gathering, Sansa, the daughter of the alpha of the Redwood Pack, noticed Alex immediately.
25:55She approached us confidently and warmly invited us to dinner.
25:59Do you want to go?
26:02I sighed softly.
26:05If you go, I'll wait outside.
26:07It had been a long time since I had spoken so humbly in front of him, but with outsiders present,
26:12I had to remember my place.
26:13Sansa impatiently stepped past me and took hold of Alex's wheelchair, pushing him away without the slightest concern that he
26:19was frail or confined to a chair.
26:20I watched their backs as they left.
26:22A strange sense of loss filled my chest.
26:25So even something I had never truly possessed, could still hurt to lose.
26:28I stood in the cold wind for a long time.
26:31Only then did I suddenly remember, today was my birthday.
26:34Sansa had not fallen in love with Alex at first sight.
26:37Years earlier, when she had first met him, she had already secretly admired him.
26:42Later, as Alex's illness worsened, she still refused to search for another mate and waited all this time.
26:48When Redwood's alpha approached Mary about the matter, the elder was more surprised than pleased.
26:52But Alex already had a blood bond.
26:54If he wished to mate normally with another partner, that bond would have to be dissolved.
26:58So I stepped forward myself.
27:00I'm willing to leave and give Alex the chance to pursue his happiness.
27:03I had once asked a witch to calculate their fates.
27:06Alex and Sansa were highly compatible.
27:08Sansa came from Noble Werewolf and loved him deeply.
27:11She had even sworn that if Alex died, she would never take another mate.
27:15Compared to that devotion, I had no reason to remain.
27:18The elder seemed pleased with my understanding.
27:20Emma, what do you want in return?
27:22I took out the silver coins I had saved over the years and placed them before her.
27:26Then I knelt.
27:27I asked the elder to release me from the pack.
27:31Emma, you could have asked for much more.
27:33Alice wanted to leave with me, but I refused.
27:36Life outside the pack was difficult.
27:38Staying by the elder's side would at least guarantee her safety.
27:41On the day I left, many old acquaintances came to see me off.
27:44Even Jeremy was there.
27:45As long as you're willing, I can make you my lover right now.
27:50Serve me well and I'll mate only you.
27:55Don't give me that look.
27:56Do you really think Alex will try to keep you?
27:58After you left, Sansa moved into Alex's house.
28:02You served him so devotedly, yet once his body recovered, he had no need for you anymore.
28:07You only ended up benefiting someone else.
28:10Alex and I had been cold toward each other for a long time.
28:13On the way back from the ceremony, he had asked me whether I was happy.
28:17I'm happy.
28:20Happy because you attended the ceremony?
28:23Or happy because you saw me with Sansa?
28:25You two look like mates destined by fate.
28:29Against my own feelings, I replied.
28:31My wish came true.
28:32Of course I'm happy.
28:34The smile on Alex's face vanished instantly.
28:36His already pale face grew even colder.
28:38You're happy watching me with another she-wolf?
28:40Sasha may become the future Luna of Blackwood.
28:45Of course I'm happy.
28:47He stared at me for a long time.
28:49Then he said quietly.
28:51So you really have no heart?
28:54I originally planned to live in a wolf pack near Blackwood.
28:57But when I thought of Jeremy and Jasmine, I decided to travel south overnight to another pack.
29:01While packing my things, I discovered something unexpected.
29:04Inside my bundle were tens of thousands of silver coins.
29:07The healer must have secretly slipped them in when he came to see me off.
29:11While traveling through the forest, several pairs of feet suddenly appeared in front of me.
29:15Before I could react.
29:17I was tied to a tree.
29:18When I lifted my head, I saw Jasmine's smug face again.
29:23I only used your body for a while?
29:25And you dared to leave the pack?
29:28You ungrateful bitch?
29:30Several sharp slaps landed across my face.
29:33My head spun, but as I listened to her curses, I stopped trying to explain.
29:37The first day, they beat me.
29:39The second day, they stabbed my fingertips with silver needles.
29:42On the third day, they locked me in a nest deep within the forest.
29:46My parents had been slaves serving Jasmine's family.
29:48Before I left the pack, they suddenly went missing.
29:52Only now did I realize the truth.
29:54They had already fallen victim to Jasmine.
29:56Their bodies had been dumped in this very nest in the forest.
29:59In that moment, I only wanted to die.
30:01But the guard watching me dragged me out.
30:03Emma, you can't die!
30:05Years ago.
30:07Jasmine had lost something valuable.
30:08You saved my life.
30:09The servants around her wanted to frame him for it.
30:11Now I'm gonna save yours.
30:11I had noticed the injustice.
30:13Found the real culprit, and saved his life.
30:15You're such a kind werewolf.
30:17Why would Jasmine torture you like this?
30:20I gave a miserable smile.
30:21Because I was never a loyal slave.
30:25Alex's condition has worsened again.
30:28Sansa was so frightened, she moved out overnight.
30:30The elder says Sansa triggered Alex's curse.
30:33I begged the guard to bury my parents' bodies first.
30:35Then I asked him for another favor.
30:36Please find a small wooden box for me.
30:38It was something the healer had given me.
30:40Something important meant for Alex.
30:42I had hidden it inside my clothes.
30:44I probably won't survive.
30:46You buried my parents.
30:48I will repay this kindness in my next life.
30:51On the evening of the fifth day, Jasmine came to the nest.
30:54She played with her fingernails casually.
30:55You're still not dead?
30:57It seems even the moon goddess wants you to suffer a few more days.
31:01I was so weak I couldn't even lift my head.
31:04She thought I was pretending to look pitiful.
31:07In truth, I was silently cursing her to die horribly.
31:10In a daze, I felt a rope tighten around my neck.
31:13I let out a long breath, thinking my suffering was finally over.
31:18But suddenly the rope loosened.
31:20Voices erupted around me.
31:24Someone carried me out.
31:25He had brought the healer and a group of secretly trained followers, charging all the way to the
31:30nest without caring about his fragile body, all just to pull me out of hell.
31:33The world suddenly flooded with light.
31:35I fell into a cold embrace.
31:37The werewolf holding me dropped to his knees and clutched me tightly.
31:40I'm sorry.
31:41I was wrong.
31:43I'm sorry.
31:44The voice was hoarse with pain, choked with emotion.
31:47I began to sob.
31:49Alex, I missed you so much.
31:52I missed you too.
31:54Then lifted my face gently.
31:56So much that I felt like I was dying.
31:58Alex brought me back to his home.
32:00The healer prepared a medicinal bath to treat my wounds.
32:03Alex personally washed me.
32:05Every time he discovered another injury on my body,
32:08the corners of his eyes ran into a little more.
32:10I slept for a long time.
32:12When I woke up, the healer was applying medicine to my fingers.
32:16Where's Alex?
32:17He's been watching over you for several nights.
32:20I gave him some medicine to make him sleep.
32:24After you left, he treated himself even worse than before.
32:29My heart tightened.
32:30Did his illness flare up again?
32:32Don't worry.
32:34He won't die before he turns 20.
32:36My breathing faltered.
32:37What about after 20?
32:40You mean, he really won't live past 20?
32:45He was always going to die sooner or later.
32:48Didn't you already know that?
32:50If he weren't destined to die young,
32:53how would the two of you have formed that blood bond?
32:55When Alex woke up, I was sitting there blankly.
32:59What's wrong?
33:00I wiped away my tears, climbed onto his lap,
33:02and pressed my finger against his Adam's apple.
33:04I'm going to kiss you now.
33:06Is that okay?
33:08You weren't this polite the first time you kissed me.
33:11I cupped his face and kissed him.
33:12Our lips tangled together, but his breath was light and fragile.
33:15Alex, I really like you.
33:17So do I.
33:19Gently biting my lip.
33:21How much?
33:22He played with my hair, looking at me with a troubled expression.
33:26I never thought that in such a short life,
33:29I would meet a werewolf I could love this much.
33:32Neither did I.
33:33I had thought my entire life would be trapped in the cage of being someone's substitute.
33:37Yet four years later, I had fallen in love with a man who was going to die.
33:41When I met Mary again, I was no longer a slave, but a guest.
33:45Alice stood beside her.
33:46It was clear Mary treated her very well.
33:49During her casual conversation, the topic eventually turned to Jasmine.
33:53After the turmoil in her family's household,
33:56Jeremy had completely broken with her.
33:58Not long ago, Jeremy's lover had died after mismeasuring.
34:02Later it was discovered that Jasmine had been behind it.
34:05She had intended for the she-wolf to die in childbirth while leaving the child behind,
34:09but she miscalculated the dosage of the drug, resulting in both mother and child dying.
34:14Mary sighed regretfully.
34:17Back when Jeremy wanted to take her as his mate,
34:20I already opposed it.
34:22Her heart is too narrow.
34:24She was never suited to the responsibilities of Aluna.
34:28I lowered my head, silently mocking the situation.
34:31Jasmine had indeed brought this fate upon herself.
34:34But Jeremy was hardly innocent.
34:36If he had not insisted on making her Luna back then,
34:39none of this would have happened.
34:40When I left the elder's residence, I ran into Jeremy around the corner.
34:43He had grown thinner and stood there alone, as if he had been waiting for me.
34:46For the sake of her father I won't sever the bond with her.
34:50But I won't favor her anymore either.
34:53Consider it compensation for me.
34:56And the two lives that were lost.
34:59She doesn't have to answer for that.
35:02One unfavored lover.
35:04One child who wouldn't have been an heir.
35:06I can have as many as I want.
35:08I had no desire to continue the conversation and turn to leave.
35:11But he suddenly asked through clenched teeth.
35:13How exactly did you bewitch my son?
35:17He risked his life just to save you.
35:19That has nothing to do with you.
35:22Have you slept together?
35:24Does he know about the relationship between the two of us?
35:28My fists tightened.
35:29Watch your words.
35:32I have no relationship with you.
35:36No relationship?
35:38We were bed partners for three years.
35:40His cruel words tore open the last shred of dignity I had left.
35:43I couldn't hold back anymore.
35:45I slapped him.
35:46You dare hit me?
35:49Aren't you afraid I'll tell him everything?
35:51Aren't you afraid he'll stop loving you?
35:54I was afraid.
35:55Afraid he would be hurt.
35:56But at this point, I could not show even a trace of weakness.
36:01Alpha, you're overthinking it.
36:03My feelings for Alex were nothing more than a way to survive.
36:06Just like pleasing you back then.
36:08If it weren't for you and Jasmine forcing me,
36:10why would I ever become the mate of a dying man?
36:13Jeremy raised an eyebrow.
36:14So your feelings for him are all fake?
36:17Forcing myself to stay calm.
36:19That's right.
36:20If you tell him the past, he'll only despise you even more.
36:25Are you still going to say it?
36:27You've convinced me.
36:29But you'd better think about how you're going to convince him.
36:33My heart dropped.
36:34I turned abruptly.
36:36A few steps away, Alex stood there.
36:39His eyelashes lowered, his expression icy.
36:43Father.
36:44Not even looking at Jeremy.
36:46Is this why you brought me here?
36:48Alex!
36:48I just wanted you to see her true face!
36:51She's selfish and heartless.
36:53She abandoned me to save herself back then, and she'll abandon you too.
36:58We should take her to the Elder.
37:00Expose everything.
37:01And make her my slave again.
37:03Alex asked calmly.
37:04What do you intend to do with her?
37:07A slave who commits such a crime should be fed to the beasts.
37:11But for the sake of our past, I'll spare her life.
37:15Emma!
37:18Why are you standing there?
37:20Do you really want to become his slave?
37:22I snapped out of my shock and hurried to his side.
37:26Alex, what are you doing?
37:28Your mate didn't know how to behave towards the future Luna.
37:31So I had her killed.
37:33Not far away, a maid's scream suddenly echoed through the air.
37:36Luna has been dragged away by wild beasts!
37:38I gasped and instinctively tried to look, but Alex grabbed my wrist.
37:42Jeremy's face turned deathly pale.
37:45You did this?
37:46How?
37:47Before my mother died, she left me a group of soldiers.
37:52As long as I live, they obey my command.
37:56I'm your father, the Alpha of this pack.
37:59And you dare oppose me for a slave?
38:02Don't forget you're not Alpha yet.
38:04A slave who has lost her purity can never become the future Luna.
38:08Good.
38:09He clapped his hands.
38:10Several soldiers suddenly appeared and forced Jeremy to the ground.
38:13Alex, what are you doing?
38:18Go.
38:20Slap him.
38:21I hesitated for a moment, then walked over.
38:25My hand trembled as I slapped Jeremy several times.
38:29She's not a slave.
38:31Her name is Emma.
38:33She's the future Luna.
38:35Remember that.
38:36And don't forget how you got your Alpha position.
38:38Only then did I learn the truth.
38:40The former Alpha had three heirs.
38:42Jeremy had only become the Alpha of the Blackwood Pack because he had taken a princess of the
38:46Likens' daughter as his mate.
38:48And because the former Luna had left behind immense power, even with Alex's curse.
38:52The Blackwood Pack never dared treat him poorly.
38:55Jeremy was in prison.
38:55I couldn't help worrying.
38:57I couldn't help worrying.
38:57But he's the Alpha.
39:00Not for long.
39:01He's abused his power as Alpha for years, harming many pack members.
39:05He's done too many terrible things.
39:08As he spoke, one of the buttons on his coat had come loose.
39:11I instinctively reached out to fasten it for him.
39:14Don't touch me.
39:15My hand hung awkwardly in the cold air.
39:19I'm sorry.
39:21That night, I carried my pillow back to my old bed.
39:24Alex lay on the bed and asked sharply,
39:26What are you doing?
39:27We should sleep separately from now on.
39:31I don't want to make you angry anymore.
39:33The healer said you've never been with a she-wolf, and my feelings for you weren't pure at the beginning.
39:39I only wanted to survive.
39:40I'm such a terrible person.
39:43I even dirtied you.
39:45Before I could finish, Alex suddenly pulled me forward and silenced me with a kiss.
39:48The kiss was awkward and inexperienced, but filled with anger.
39:51After a long time, he let go.
39:54Emma, are you trying to drive me to death?
39:57I know the things you said to Jeremy were lies.
40:00His eyes reddening.
40:01But why didn't you tell me the truth?
40:03If you had died, and I never knew how much you suffered, never got revenge for you, do you know
40:09how painful that would be?
40:10Do you want me to die without peace?
40:13His words struck my heart like a heavy bell.
40:16Every syllable made my whole body tremble.
40:19I lunged forward and kissed him again, our fingers intertwining.
40:22He bit my lips softly and murmured between breaths.
40:25I hate them.
40:25Every time I think about what other men did to you, I want to kill them.
40:30But luckily he didn't know how to cherish you.
40:32Otherwise I'd never have had my chance.
40:34If I had met you earlier, I would have hidden you away.
40:37So you belonged only to me.
40:39Emma, you're not a slave.
40:41You're my treasure.
40:42Jasmine was the only daughter of one of the Pax Elder, and when she died he was devastated.
40:46He came to the Elder demanding justice.
40:48May calmly produced evidence that Jasmine had poisoned other Pax members.
40:51I wanted to confine her reflection.
40:53But she escaped before we could make the arrangements.
40:56We never expected her to lose control like this.
40:59She killed the Alpha's child out of jealousy.
41:02The fact that we didn't exile her from the Pax was already out of respect for you.
41:05At that moment, the werewolf council arrived to arrest Jasmine's father.
41:09Later, Alice told me this matter dated back decades and was connected to an invasion by rogues.
41:13I returned to the mountain house troubled and unexpectedly saw Sansa there.
41:18Don't worry, I'm not here to take Alex away.
41:21At the ceremony last time, he made it clear that his heart belongs to you.
41:25I'm here to apologize.
41:26I was foolish when I was younger.
41:29Please don't take it to heart.
41:31Then, why are you here now?
41:33To thank Alex.
41:36My father has been searching for the traitor within our Pax for years.
41:40Alex helped him eliminate that threat.
41:42Thirty years ago, Jasmine's father had secretly collaborated with rogue wolves.
41:46In order to strengthen the Blackwood Pack against the Redwood Pack,
41:49he had supplied the rogues and encouraged them to attack Redwood,
41:51violating the ancient rule that Pax must never deal with rogues.
41:54Even while bed-troned, Alex secretly gathered evidence against him for years.
41:58He gave it all to my father.
42:00The last time I left here wasn't because I was scared.
42:04I was just overwhelmed.
42:05But Alex wasn't even born thirty years ago.
42:07How could he have evidence?
42:10The healer by his side.
42:13He's a rogue.
42:14Alex was asleep when I returned.
42:16I touched his hand.
42:18It was still cold.
42:20I went to find the healer, needing answers.
42:23You guessed correctly.
42:25Alex was never cursed.
42:27He was poisoned.
42:29I was the one who poisoned him.
42:32The rogues never wanted to attack Redwood.
42:35Without Blackwood's ambition, there would never have been war.
42:38Alex was meant to be a powerful alpha heir.
42:40But the poison killed him at birth.
42:42I couldn't bear to watch him die.
42:44So I removed the poison.
42:47But it was too strong.
42:49The best I could do was give him twenty years.
42:53Before being imprisoned, Jasmine's father desperately revealed many cruel crimes committed by Jeremy.
42:58The werewolf council stripped Jeremy of his alpha title and banished him from all pack territories.
43:03Jeremy went mad and confronted Alex.
43:05I'm your father.
43:06How can you be so ruthless?
43:09What about the Blackwood pack?
43:11Who will become alpha?
43:13You betrayed mother.
43:15Grandfather had three heirs.
43:17Any of them would be more suitable than you.
43:19Jeremy glared at me with bloodshot eyes.
43:20I ruined your life.
43:22And you ruined mine.
43:24Spring used to be my favorite season.
43:27Now I wished it would never come.
43:29Alex's birthday was in spring.
43:31As he drew closer to twenty, the sentable werewolf around him grew weaker and weaker.
43:36His breathing became faint and broken.
43:38No matter how many medicinal baths he took, his body remained cold.
43:41Many nights I woke from nightmares.
43:43Beside me, Alex lay motionless.
43:45Like a corpse.
43:46I would press my ear to his chest, waiting until I heard that faint heartbeat before I
43:50could breathe again.
43:51The healer said Alex had already died once.
43:53Now he was simply returning to where he began.
43:55Eventually, he told the elder, it's time to prepare the blood bond.
43:58When Alex died, I was supposed to form the bond with his corpse.
44:01Alice burst into the room in tears.
44:03Emma, run!
44:05Werewolves who form blood bonds with the dead rarely end well.
44:09I know you did this for me.
44:11I can go back and work as a slave again.
44:13Just tell the elder you won't do it.
44:15At first I did it for you, and for myself, but not anymore.
44:21I was born lowly, someone anyone could bully.
44:24Alex, on the other hand, was someone destined for greatness.
44:26If he weren't dying young, our lives would never have crossed.
44:29But I loved him.
44:30This blood bond was the only way I could ever belong to him.
44:33Three days before Alex's twentieth birthday, he spent more and more time asleep.
44:38One moment he was teasing me to try on a new dress.
44:40The next moment, when I finished dressing, he had already fallen asleep again.
44:45I waited patiently, and eventually fell asleep myself.
44:48When I woke, birds were singing, and I was lying in the forest.
44:55Emma, you're awake!
44:56Alex's letter saved you!
44:58He refused the blood bond, and asked the elder to release me too.
45:01There are silver coins in the bundle.
45:03He was afraid the elder wouldn't agree, so he sent you away first.
45:06I just left the pack, and came straight to find you.
45:10We're free now!
45:11Freedom and wealth, the life we had once dreamed about.
45:16Emma, didn't you always want to go to the southern packs?
45:18I listened numbly, and forced a smile.
45:20Yes, I'm happy.
45:23Alice soon fell asleep in my arms.
45:25Facing the pale light of dawn, I found that I couldn't cry.
45:28I remembered something from long ago.
45:30You only loved me for a few years, in your long life.
45:35And that's already enough for me.
45:37You loved me once, that's enough.
45:41Emma, keep moving forward.
45:43Back then I thought he was heartless.
45:45Now I understood his kindness.
45:47He didn't want to bind me.
45:48He left me money, and a small note.
45:50In his handwriting, I hope Emma will be happy.
45:53Let me let you continue.
45:53Hey.
45:53Bye.
45:53Bye.
