00:00He did not ask why, just nodded. He stared at me.
00:04Froya, I swear I'll treat you right. Just give me one month. I march to war tonight. This time
00:10I'll win great glory, then marry you with honor. I pressed his hand down softly. I've never wanted
00:16glory, only peace. Stay safe, and come back to me. After watching him ride off to war,
00:23I headed home. The quiet house was glowing with light. I thought my mother-in-law Jane was waiting
00:30up for me. I called out as I neared the courtyard gate. Mother, it's late. You should rest.
00:36Before my words faded, the door swung open. A voice I knew cut through the wind and snow.
00:43Froya, I'm home. A year later, Sebastian was even colder and more composed,
00:50probably because he had become a regional alpha. His tone carried quiet authority.
00:55He opened his arms, expecting me to run into them like before, pouring out how much I'd missed him.
01:02But I didn't.
01:05I sat down my basket and spoke calmly.
01:09Sebastian, haven't you eaten yet? I'll fix you something.
01:12Sebastian frowned, awkwardly dropping his arms.
01:15What's wrong? Don't you miss me after a whole year? Or are you mad at me?
01:19Before I knew the truth, I'd really missed him. But now I'd stopped hoping for anything at all.
01:24I changed the subject.
01:26Go talk to Mother. I'll call you when dinner's ready.
01:29I turned toward the kitchen, done talking to him. But Sebastian chased after me. He pulled me into his arms.
01:37Freya, what's really wrong? Have you heard some gossip?
01:41I pushed him away gently, with a calm, quiet smile.
01:45This land is remote. We barely see outsiders all year. What could I possibly hear? Don't overthink it.
01:52Sebastian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he pulled me firmly back into his embrace again.
01:58Freya, I'm back to take all of you to Silver Spike. But there's something I need to tell you first.
02:02My chest tightened at once. After more than ten years, he was ready to introduce her. Now.
02:07Sebastian led me into the room. To my surprise, Jane was inside.
02:12So was a finely dressed woman, and two pups who looked just like him.
02:17Jane hung her head, too guilty to meet my eyes. On the contrary, the woman stepped forward.
02:23You must be Freya. I'm Serafina, Sebastian's pack sister, and his true mate.
02:29When I said nothing, she pushed the pups toward me.
02:32These are our son and daughter. Come now, greet Lady Freya.
02:36Seeing my cold stare, Sebastian cut her off at once. He pulled me aside, full of guilt.
02:40Freya, let me explain. Raiders ambushed me during my rank trials. I would have died if Serafina hadn't saved me.
02:47At first, I only saw her as my pack sister. But she's an orphan, too. I just wanted to give
02:52her a home to repay my debt.
02:54If you're hurt, hit me. Yell at me. Just... Once we reach Silver Spike, can the two of you learn
03:00to get along?
03:01Sebastian raised my hand to his own face. I pulled it back, smiling calmly. No anger. No resentment.
03:10Going to Silver Spire is a good thing. I'm not hurt. Mother's been unwell.
03:16All these years. Maybe the change will do her good.
03:21Sebastian's face lit up.
03:22Really? Freya, you don't blame me anymore?
03:26I met his gaze and nodded.
03:30My compliance made him let out.
03:33Then pack your things quick, Freya. We leave the day after tomorrow.
03:38He pressed eagerly.
03:40Mom's medicine isn't packed yet. I gotta help her.
03:45You can all leave first, that day. All right?
03:49Freya, what do you mean? You're not coming with us?
03:53My voice, steady and calm.
03:58You'll probably never come back after this.
04:01I still have the fields and the house to settle.
04:04Leave them empty, we'll still owe the pack taxes.
04:09It's not worth it.
04:11When I first mated into his family, they had nothing.
04:15They never stopped me from giving.
04:17But this time, it's my turn.
04:22Take everyone to Silver Spire first.
04:24Once I wrap things up here, I'll join you in the spring.
04:31Sebastian's expression softened a little.
04:33He knew how much this home and land meant to me.
04:37We lived in a run-down rented shack.
04:39Cold and drafty.
04:41I worked my fingers raw through every trial.
04:44Every stage of his training.
04:48I scraped and saved relentlessly to buy this house and two plots of farmland.
04:54Only then did the family stop struggling to get by.
04:57And only then did Sebastian have a proper place to train.
05:01Probably thinking of the past, a flicker of heartache crossed Sebastian's face.
05:06Freya, I'm a regional alpha now.
05:09I've got plenty of gold.
05:10You don't need to bother with all this.
05:13Seraphina saw it clearly.
05:15She tugged his sleeve.
05:16Don't go soft.
05:17The PAC Council's watching you.
05:19If you leave her here, and she slips up when they investigate,
05:24can you still hold on to your position?
05:27Sebastian hadn't had a change of heart.
05:28Not like I'd foolishly thought.
05:30You are right.
05:31I wasn't stupid.
05:32I caught Seraphina's meaning right away.
05:36Someone had found out he'd once had a first mate.
05:39If that got confirmed, the PAC Council would impeach him without mercy.
05:44The Alpha King ruled with loyalty and honor.
05:47He hated anyone who dared abandon their fated mate.
05:51So if Sebastian wanted to hold on to his position,
05:54the only thing that mattered was keeping me happy.
05:57And keeping me quiet.
05:58I'd been mated to Sebastian for 13 years.
06:02It wasn't an exaggeration to say I'd given him everything.
06:06My all.
06:08I cared for Jane.
06:10Scraped together savings to marry his brother off.
06:13Gave them all a good life.
06:15I thought my devotion would win me his lifelong, unshakable loyalty.
06:20But I was wrong.
06:22They were just using me.
06:24Then I forced a calm smile and said,
06:27So that's what's troubling you?
06:29My Alpha.
06:32I can write a sworn statement.
06:34No matter who asks,
06:36I'll say I'm your family's foster daughter.
06:38Your sister.
06:40Will that work?
06:41Sebastian, Jane, and Seraphina all stared at me.
06:44Stunned, silent.
06:46After a long pause.
06:48Freya.
06:50You'd really humble yourself like this for me?
06:54Sebastian lived for rank trials.
06:57He was useless at anything else.
07:01Jane was too old to help.
07:03And his brother?
07:05A lazy leech.
07:07Through and through.
07:09The whole family relied on me.
07:11And me alone.
07:13But I never complained.
07:15Not once.
07:16Just thinking about it.
07:18Crushed my heart.
07:19But I was no longer who I used to be.
07:23I smiled and nodded.
07:25I'd do anything for you.
07:26Sebastian strolled over me to Seraphina.
07:29But.
07:31To be safe.
07:33There's one thing you must destroy.
07:36Right now.
07:38Sebastian tensed.
07:39His voice tight with caution.
07:41What is it?
07:42I answered steadily.
07:44The mating bond.
07:46Our mating happened out in a remote territory with barely any formalities.
07:50We only invited a few kin.
07:52Shared a cup of wine.
07:53And that was all.
07:54We never even registered the bond with the pack.
07:57Break the mating bond.
07:58And I'd no longer be Sebastian's mate.
08:00I'd just wait for that warrior to return.
08:02And then I could marry again.
08:04I'd thought this was exactly what he wanted.
08:06Yet for some reason, he hesitated.
08:08Freya.
08:10You once said our mating bond was your most precious thing.
08:13You've sacrificed so much all these years.
08:16If you destroy the only thing you've ever cherished, how broken hearted will you be?
08:19Why don't we keep the bond for now?
08:21He'd seen all my efforts.
08:22He remembered every single thing I'd done.
08:25But even so, he left me here for ten long years.
08:28Lived happily with another, without a single shred of guilt.
08:31If he'd thrown my sincerity away like trash, why should I cling to that worthless bond?
08:36You know I value that mating bond more than anything.
08:40But for your future, I have to let it go, even if it hurts.
08:47Once you're settled in Silver Spike, you'll mate me again, won't you?
08:51Jane quickly nodded, chiming in to push him along.
08:55Freya's right, Sebastian.
08:57Your position can't have any flaws or loose ends.
09:00Destroy it.
09:01Freya's going out of her way for you.
09:03You'll make it up to her later, I'm sure.
09:06Sebastian still looked worried, but he knew we were right.
09:09Freya, I'm sorry I hid this from you.
09:13But you have to believe me.
09:15I'll treat you right.
09:16From now on, wait for me.
09:19I'll register our bond officially.
09:21I promise.
09:22I, Sebastian, reject Freya as my mate.
09:26His voice echoed through the room.
09:28The second the words left his mouth, searing agony exploded in my chest.
09:32This was the wolf's truth.
09:34My inner wolf whimpered, torn apart from the inside out.
09:38Every memory, every vow, every gentle touch turned into sharp thorns, piercing straight through my heart.
09:44I bit my lip hard, holding back every scream.
09:48I, Freya, accept your rejection.
09:50The searing pain burned away our foolish mating marks.
09:54I breathed through the agony, finally tasting the freedom waiting ahead.
09:58Once Sebastian left with Serafina and their pups, Jane stopped me.
10:02She dropped her act at last and knelt before me.
10:04Freya, it's all my fault.
10:08I've lied to you for years.
10:11You must hate me so deeply.
10:13Her hair was already streaked with white.
10:15Watching her weep bitterly, I couldn't bring myself to be cruel.
10:18I helped her stand, my voice calm.
10:21Mother, I know you only loved your son too much.
10:25I don't blame you.
10:26Your serious illness was fake, yes, but your small alimps are real.
10:31When you reach Silver Spike, please listen closely to the healers.
10:34At that, she cried even harder.
10:37Freya, how can you be so kind?
10:39Who will care for me like you did?
10:42Don't worry.
10:43No matter how Sebastian treats you from now on, I'll see you as my own daughter.
10:48I'll never let anyone hurt you.
10:51It doesn't matter.
10:53Whoever Sebastian bonds with next will be your daughter.
10:57You owe me nothing at all.
10:59I understood her helplessness, so I'd never held a grudge.
11:02But I'd never trust her words again.
11:04She was a mother, after all.
11:06As soon as I stepped out of Jane's room, Serafina stopped me in the yard.
11:10Freya, don't take what Sebastian said to heart.
11:13She said,
11:14I never actually saved him.
11:17Not really.
11:18I froze where I stood.
11:21There it was, the last wall crumbling down.
11:24I'd thought the worst blow was being betrayed by the mother I'd trusted,
11:28and the mate I'd loved for years.
11:30But no, they'd been hiding more from me.
11:34Serafina was never Sebastian's savior, yet he'd fallen for her the moment he saw her.
11:39He'd gotten close to her under the pretense of being packed siblings,
11:43torn apart my bond with him, and claimed her as his mate.
11:46Saying she'd saved him, it was all just an excuse.
11:49Something Sebastian made up.
11:50He knew I was kind.
11:52Knew I always paid back kindness.
11:54So he'd plotted this lie with his mother,
11:57all to force me to submit, to accept my fate without a fight.
12:00Seeing me lost in thought,
12:02Serafina felt her provocation had worked, and said proudly,
12:05All that talk about mating you properly in Silverspire?
12:08Fake.
12:09Once we're there, you'll only ever be his mistress.
12:15And don't trust a word mother says.
12:18You really think she'll pick you over her own son?
12:23Over her grandchildren?
12:24I held back my tears, keeping my face calm.
12:28You're telling me this, because you want me to leave, aren't you?
12:32Serafina shook her head.
12:35Sebastian's still soft for you, after everything you've done for him.
12:39If you walk away, he'll blame me, and regret it forever.
12:43I can't risk that.
12:45I just want you to know your place.
12:49When we reach Silverspire, be a good mistress.
12:53Don't reach for higher status.
12:55And don't dream of having his pups.
12:57Sebastian promised me,
12:59Only I'll bear his children.
13:02That's why he never touched you all these years.
13:05If you get greedy later,
13:07don't blame me for being cruel.
13:10But if you stay obedient,
13:12I'll make sure you never want for food,
13:15clothes, or anything you need.
13:18I'd run out of patience to argue with her.
13:20So I just agreed half-heartedly.
13:22On the day they left,
13:24I walked them to the edge of the territory.
13:26I took off my only precious keepsake,
13:28a carved moonstone necklace I'd always worn.
13:30I placed it in Serafina's palm.
13:32At first, Jane frowned, displeased.
13:35She grabbed the necklace and handed it back to me.
13:37Freya, this was a gift from me.
13:39Keep it safe.
13:39I shook my head,
13:40pressing the necklace back into Serafina's hand.
13:43This is a family heirloom.
13:44Everyone here knows it belongs to his true mate.
13:47If I keep it and the council investigates later,
13:49it'll only raise more questions.
13:51It's safer with you, Serafina.
13:53Mother, Freya's right.
13:55When we meet again someday,
13:56I'll give it back to her.
13:57Jane was still unwilling,
13:59but she sighed anyway.
14:01Freya, don't worry.
14:02What I gave you will always be yours.
14:04In my heart, you're the only true mate.
14:05When you come to Silverspike,
14:07I'll get it back for you.
14:08I promise.
14:08I nodded,
14:09then glanced at the bonded wolf amulet
14:11hanging from Sebastian's back.
14:13Sebastian, this was my grandmother's last keepsake
14:15before she passed.
14:16It's the only relic she left me.
14:17Can you give it back?
14:18Sebastian frowned at once,
14:20voice low and needy.
14:21When it's just us,
14:22call me honey like you used to.
14:25I smiled and shook my head,
14:27cold and calm.
14:28We should be careful.
14:29We can't let anyone catch us.
14:32Fine.
14:32When we rebond later,
14:34we'll go back to how things were.
14:36I'll hold on to it for now.
14:37After all,
14:38it's your wish and our token of love.
14:39I really didn't understand.
14:41He'd always hated this amulet.
14:43Now I was finally giving him
14:44what he'd wanted all those years ago,
14:46and he refused.
14:48Sebastian,
14:49the pack feast can be consumed.
14:51I'll be all alone here.
14:52Keeping the amulet
14:53will give me something to hold on to.
14:55If you like it that much,
14:56I'll make you a new one
14:57once I reach Silverspike,
14:58all right?
14:59Reluctantly,
15:00Sebastian unfastened the charm.
15:02He handed it over,
15:03along with a heavy leather pouch
15:05full of coins.
15:06Just before leaving,
15:07he turned back again.
15:09Wait for me at home.
15:09Be good.
15:10I'll come fetch you myself in spring.
15:12I've got one last thing
15:12to confess to you then.
15:14I didn't press for more.
15:15I simply nodded.
15:16Goodbye.
15:17I watched them leave,
15:18then headed back inside.
15:19I grabbed my packed bundle
15:20from the top of the cabinet
15:21and set Sebastian's pouch of money
15:23down on the table.
15:24Then I turned and walked north,
15:26not a single glance back,
15:27straight toward the warrior
15:28I was always meant to marry.
15:30The winter road was brutal and cold.
15:32I barely had any coin,
15:34no carriage to hire,
15:35so I walked every step on foot.
15:37When my money ran out,
15:38I took odd jobs in towns to earn more,
15:41then kept moving forward.
15:42Spring drew near,
15:43and with every mile,
15:44the borderlands grew closer.
15:46One day,
15:47I was wiping tables at a tavern
15:48when the owner burst inside,
15:50overjoyed.
15:51Froyah!
15:52The wolf warriors have won the battle.
15:54They'll take in the surrendered soldiers
15:56and head back to the borderlands soon.
15:57You'll get to see your fiancé at last.
16:00Here.
16:01He paid me my wages,
16:02slipped me an extra bonus,
16:03and smiled warmly.
16:05Here, this is your pay.
16:06Your fiancé is a hero of the pack.
16:09Consider this my wedding gift
16:10for the two of you.
16:14Hurry now.
16:15Hire a carriage
16:16and head to the border fort
16:17to meet him.
16:21I thanked the owner
16:22and hired a carriage
16:23to the border fort.
16:24The army hadn't returned yet.
16:26I pressed the last
16:27of my leftover coin
16:29into the wolf guard's hand.
16:31Sir,
16:32my fiancé's name is Kale.
16:34When he arrives,
16:35please tell him
16:36I'm renting a house
16:36in the East District,
16:38waiting for him.
16:39The guard smiled gently
16:40and handed the money back.
16:42So you're Kale's fiancé.
16:44No need for this.
16:45Just put in a good word
16:46for me later, alright?
16:47I frowned in confusion.
16:49Kale had always been
16:50just an unknown,
16:52ordinary warrior.
16:53What good would speaking
16:54well of him do?
16:55The guard must have mixed him up
16:56with someone important.
16:57But it was good
16:58to save some money.
16:59The days of waiting
17:00were actually full of unease.
17:02Kale and I were
17:03from the same territory.
17:04He'd loved me faithfully
17:05for years.
17:06He never spoke it aloud,
17:08but I'd always known.
17:09Every winter,
17:10he left firewood
17:11stacked at my gate.
17:12No questions asked.
17:13At every pack gathering,
17:14he stood at the back
17:15of the crowd,
17:16watching,
17:17never pushing forward.
17:18But I'd been bound
17:19to another once.
17:20I couldn't tell
17:20if he'd agreed to marry me
17:21out of true affection
17:22or just a fleeting impulse.
17:24Still,
17:25after thinking it through,
17:26I found peace.
17:27If he ever took back his word,
17:29I'd simply live alone.
17:30I had my own two hands,
17:31my own strength.
17:33I'd never let myself starve.
17:34Once I'd made up my mind,
17:36the weight in my heart
17:36finally lifted.
17:37I started sewing
17:38my wedding dress.
17:40Even if I never got to wear it,
17:41it would be a gift to myself.
17:43After all,
17:44when I mated Sebastian,
17:45I didn't even have a wedding dress
17:46to call my own.
17:47At that time,
17:48the family was too poor,
17:50with nothing but four walls.
17:51No wedding dress,
17:53no proper celebration.
17:54Even the wine for our mating
17:56was borrowed from the neighbors.
17:57Later,
17:58once I earned coin,
17:59I repaid them with two full jars of wine.
18:02That day,
18:02the neighbor woman held me
18:04and choked up several times.
18:06She said,
18:06Freya,
18:07you are such a good girl.
18:08Why do you have to stay in that family?
18:10It's so hard.
18:10You are beautiful and hardworking.
18:12You could easily mate a higher rank wolf
18:14if you wanted.
18:15There's no need to settle.
18:16Why waste your life waiting for Sebastian?
18:18All he cares about is his training.
18:19He doesn't see how much you give.
18:21Not really.
18:21Back then,
18:22I'd loved Sebastian,
18:24blind with hope for our future.
18:25So her words struck me as rude
18:27and out of line.
18:28I even shot back,
18:29stubborn and sure.
18:30That's just your prejudice.
18:31I believe in him.
18:34Once he makes it big,
18:35he'll never let me down.
18:38Woman couldn't argue further.
18:39She just kept saying I was foolish.
18:41Now I see she was the one
18:43who'd known the truth all along.
18:44The day I slipped away from the territory,
18:46I nearly ran straight into
18:48Sebastian's sister-in-law.
18:49But that sharp-eyed neighbor stopped her
18:51and helped me escape.
18:52She urged me softly,
18:54Freya,
18:55I've always known that family
18:56never deserved you.
18:57Go now.
18:58Live free.
18:59Don't trap yourself for them any longer.
19:01I'll handle your sister-in-law.
19:03They won't find out you're gone.
19:04Not for a good while.
19:05I didn't know what trick she used,
19:07but it must have worked.
19:08No one had come searching for me
19:09in over a month.
19:10But on the third day,
19:11a carriage suddenly stopped at my door.
19:15I thought Kale had come back
19:17and rushed outside in joy,
19:18only to freeze at the sight
19:20of someone far too familiar.
19:22Sebastian's hair was messy,
19:23his face gaunt and worn
19:25from the long journey.
19:26His voice dropped low,
19:28raw with desperation.
19:29Freya,
19:31I've been searching everywhere for you.
19:33He jumped off his horse
19:34and closed the distance
19:35in a few strides.
19:36Then he gripped my wrist so tight
19:38it felt like he'd crushed my bones.
19:41You promised me!
19:43How dare you leave without a word?
19:45Running all the way to this border fort
19:47thousands of miles away.
19:49I planned everything for half a month.
19:52I went to Hollowbrook to fetch you myself.
19:55And the house was empty.
19:57Do you have any idea how terrified I was?
20:00My voice stayed calm.
20:01Why do you even care about me anymore,
20:03Alpha Sebastian?
20:05Our mating bond is broken.
20:07I'm not your mate.
20:09Where I go,
20:10whether I live or die,
20:12it has nothing to do with you.
20:14My cold words cut deep.
20:16Sebastian's anger flared even hotter.
20:18Freya,
20:19I know you're hurt,
20:21but this is reckless.
20:23You promised you'd come to Silver Spike with me.
20:26How could you go back on your word like this?
20:29I almost laughed at how ridiculous he sounded.
20:31I dropped every fake pleasantry.
20:33When we bonded,
20:34you promised you'd never betray me.
20:36Said you'd never take another mate.
20:39Didn't you break that promise first?
20:42We're even now.
20:43You crossed the line long before I did.
20:46We're done, Sebastian.
20:49Sebastian's eyes turned red in an instant.
20:51He yanked me close,
20:53our faces barely inches apart.
20:55Can more than ten years together just end like this?
20:58Freya,
20:59I know you're hurting.
21:01I'm sorry,
21:02alright?
21:02When we go back,
21:04I'll make you my true mate.
21:05You'll never have to stand beneath Serafina.
21:08I promise.
21:09I let out a bitter,
21:10he thought I was jealous of sharing equal standing with her.
21:13His brow furrowed deep.
21:15Freya,
21:15it's not that I won't give you your rightful place.
21:18It's just,
21:21Serafina saved my life.
21:23Saved your life?
21:24I cut him off softly.
21:25You're still hiding behind that stupid lie after everything?
21:29Sebastian,
21:30your apology isn't even the slightest bit sincere.
21:33Sebastian's whole body stiffened,
21:35and his eyes instantly panicked.
21:37Freya,
21:37what do you mean?
21:38I looked at his crumbling face and tore off his disguise word by word.
21:43Serafina already told me the truth.
21:45There were never any raiders.
21:46She never saved your life.
21:48You fell for her the second you saw her.
21:50You took her for yourself,
21:51destroyed her original bond.
21:53That whole repaying a debt of gratitude lie?
21:56Just an excuse for your cheating.
21:58Sebastian's face drained pale in an instant.
22:00He opened his mouth,
22:01but not a single word came out.
22:03I was done wasting breath,
22:05ready to send him away.
22:06Freya,
22:06let me explain.
22:10She's jealous.
22:12She said all that on purpose.
22:14To tear us apart.
22:16You know,
22:17no woman wants to share her mate with someone else.
