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 I'll
00:10win great glory, then marry you with honor.
00:12I pressed his hand down softly. I've never wanted glory, only peace. Stay safe, and come back to me.
00:21After watching him ride off to war, I headed home. The quiet house was glowing with light. I thought my
00:29mother-in-law, Jane, was waiting up for me.
00:31I called out as I neared the courtyard gate.
00:33Mother, 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.
00:46A year later, Sebastian was even colder and more composed. Probably because he had become a regional alpha, his tone
00:53carried quiet authority.
00:55He opened his arms, expecting me to run into them like before, pouring out how much I'd missed him. But
01:03I 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.
01:37Friya, 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.
01:58Friya, 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.
02:08Sebastian 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...
02:57Once we reach Silver Spike, can the two of you learn to get along?
03:01Sebastian raised my hand to his own face.
03:04I pulled it back, smiling calmly.
03:07No anger. No resentment.
03:10Going to Silver Spire is a good thing. I'm not hurt. Mother's been unwell. All these years. Maybe the change
03:19will do her good.
03:21Sebastian's face lit up.
03:23Really? 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.
03:36We 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. Alright?
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 joint you in the spring.
04:30Sebastian's expression softened a little.
04:33He knew how much this home and land meant to me.
04:36We 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.
04:47I 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.
05:07Freya, I'm a regional alpha now.
05:09I've got plenty of gold.
05:10You don't need to bother with all this.
05:13Serafina saw it clearly.
05:15She tugged his sleeve.
05:16Don't go soft.
05:17The pack 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.
05:29Not like I'd foolishly thought.
05:30You are right.
05:31I wasn't stupid.
05:32I caught Serafina's meaning right away.
05:36Someone had found out he'd once had a first mate.
05:39If that got confirmed, the pack 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.
05:59I'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 Serafina 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.
07:04And 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.
07:17Just 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.
07:27Sebastian strolled over me to Serafina.
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?
07:43I answered steadily.
07:44The mating bond.
07:46Our mating happened out in a remote territory.
07:48With barely any formalities.
07:51We 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.
08:03I could marry again.
08:04I'd thought this was exactly what he wanted.
08:07Yet for some reason.
08:08He hesitated.
08:09Freya.
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.
08:18How 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.
08:26He left me here for ten long years.
08:28Lived happily with another.
08:29Without a single shred of guilt.
08:31If he'd thrown my sincerity away like trash.
08:34Why should I cling to that worthless bond?
08:36You know I value that mating bond more than anything.
08:40But for your future.
08:42I have to let it go even if it hurts.
08:47Once you're settled in Silver Spike.
08:49You'll mate me again won't you?
08:51Jane quickly nodded.
08:52Chiming 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.
09:04You'll make it up to her later I'm sure.
09:06Sebastian still looked worried.
09:08But 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.
09:18Wait 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.
09:30Searing agony exploded in my chest.
09:32This was the wolf's truth.
09:34My inner wolf whimpered.
09:36Torn apart from the inside out.
09:38Every memory.
09:39Every bow.
09:40Every gentle touch turned into sharp thorns.
09:43Piercing straight through my heart.
09:44I bit my lip hard.
09:46Holding back every scream.
09:48I, Freya, accept your rejection.
09:51The searing pain burned away our foolish mating marks.
09:54I breathed through the agony.
09:56Finally tasting the freedom waiting ahead.
09:58Once Sebastian left with Seraphina and their pups, Jane stopped me.
10:01She dropped her act at last and knelt before me.
10:04Freya.
10:06It'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.
10:16I couldn't bring myself to be cruel.
10:19I 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 could 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, she 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.
11:25I'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 pack siblings,
11:43torn apart my bond with him, and claimed her as his mate.
11:46Saying she'd saved him?
11:47It was all just an excuse.
11:49Something Sebastian made up.
11:51He knew I was kind.
11:52Knew I always paid back kindness.
11:54So he'd plotted this lie with his mother, all to force me to submit, to accept my fate without a
12:00fight.
12:00Seeing me lost in thought, Serafina felt her provocation had worked, and said proudly,
12:05All that talk about mating you properly in Silverspire?
12:08Fake.
12:10Once 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 Silverspike, be a good mistress.
12:53Don't reach for higher status, and don't dream of having his pups.
12:57Sebastian promised me, only I'll bear his children.
13:02That's why he never touched you all these years.
13:05If you get greedy later, don't blame me for being cruel.
13:10But if you stay obedient, I'll make sure you never want for food, clothes, or anything you need.
13:17I'd run out of patience to argue with her.
13:20So I just agreed half-heartedly.
13:22On the day they left, I 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, pressing 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.
13:52It's safer with you, Serafina.
13:53Mother, Freya's right.
13:55When we meet again someday, I'll give it back to her.
13:57Jane was still unwilling, but 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 Silver Spike, I'll get it back for you.
14:08I promise.
14:08I nodded, then glanced at the bonded wolf amulet
14:11hanging from Sebastian's back.
14:13Sebastian, this was my grandmother's last keepsake before she passed.
14:16It's the only relic she left me.
14:17Can you give it back?
14:18Sebastian frowned at once, voice low and needy.
14:21When it's just us, call me honey, like you used to.
14:25I smiled and shook my head, cold and calm.
14:28We should be careful.
14:29We can't let anyone catch us.
14:32Fine.
14:32When we rebond later, we'll go back to how things were.
14:36I'll hold onto it for now.
14:37After all, it'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 what he'd wanted all those years ago,
14:46and he refused.
14:48Sebastian, the pack fee's coming soon.
14:51I'll be all alone here.
14:53Keeping the amulet will give me something to hold on to.
14:55If you like it that much, I'll make you a new one once I reach Silver Spike, alright?
15:00Reluctantly, Sebastian unfastened the charm.
15:02He handed it over, along with a heavy leather pouch full of coins.
15:06Just before leaving, he turned back again.
15:09Wait for me at home.
15:10Be good.
15:10I'll come fetch you myself in spring.
15:12I've got one last thing to confess to you then.
15:14I didn't press for more.
15:15I simply nodded.
15:16I watched them leave, then headed back inside.
15:19I grabbed my packed bundle from the top of the cabinet,
15:21and set Sebastian's pouch of money down on the table.
15:24Then I turned and walked north, not a single glance back.
15:27Straight toward the warrior I was always meant to marry.
15:30The winter road was brutal and cold.
15:32I barely had any coin, no carriage to hire, so I walked every step on foot.
15:37When my money ran out, I took odd jobs in towns to earn more, then kept moving forward.
15:42Spring drew near, and with every mile, the borderlands grew closer.
15:46One day, I was wiping tables at a tavern when the owner burst inside, overjoyed.
15:51Froyah!
15:52The wolf warriors have won the battle.
15:54They'll take in the surrendered soldiers and head back to the borderlands soon.
15:58You'll get to see your fiancé at last.
16:00Here.
16:01He paid me my wages, slipped me an extra bonus, and smiled warmly.
16:05Here, this is your pay.
16:06Your fiancé is a hero of the pack.
16:09Consider this my wedding gift for the two of you.
16:14Hurry now.
16:15Hire a carriage and head to the border fort to meet him.
16:21I thanked the owner, and hired a carriage to the border fort.
16:24The army hadn't returned yet.
16:26I pressed the last of my leftover coin into the wolf guard's hand.
16:31Sir, my fiancé's name is Kale.
16:34When he arrives, please tell him I'm renting a house in the East District, waiting for him.
16:38The guard smiled gently and handed the money back.
16:41So you're Kale's fiancé.
16:44No need for this.
16:45Just put in a good word for me later, alright?
16:47I frowned in confusion.
16:49Kale had always been just an unknown, ordinary warrior.
16:53What good would speaking well of him do?
16:55The guard must have mixed him up with someone important.
16:57But it was good to save some money.
16:59The days of waiting were actually full of unease.
17:02Kale and I were from the same territory.
17:04He'd loved me faithfully for years.
17:06He never spoke it aloud, but I'd always known.
17:09Every winter, he left firewood stacked at my gate, no questions asked.
17:13At every pack gathering, he stood at the back of the crowd, watching, never pushing forward.
17:18But I'd been bound to another once.
17:20I couldn't tell if he'd agreed to marry me out of true affection, or just a fleeting impulse.
17:24Still, after thinking it through, I found peace.
17:27If he ever took back his word, I'd simply live alone.
17:30I had my own two hands.
17:32My own strength.
17:33I'd never let myself starve.
17:34Once I'd made up my mind, the weight in my heart finally lifted.
17:38I started sewing my wedding dress.
17:40Even if I never got to wear it, it would be a gift to myself.
17:43After all, when I mated Sebastian, I didn't even have a wedding dress to call my own.
17:47At that time, the family was too poor, with nothing but four walls.
17:51No wedding dress.
17:53No proper celebration.
17:54Even the wine for our mating was borrowed from the neighbors.
17:57Later, once I earned coin, I repaid them with two full jars of wine.
18:02That day, the neighbor woman held me and choked up several times.
18:06She said,
18:06Freya, you 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 if 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, I'd loved Sebastian, blind with hope for our future.
18:25So her words struck me as rude and out of line.
18:28I even shot back, stubborn and sure.
18:30That's just your prejudice.
18:32I believe in him.
18:34Once he makes it big, he'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 who'd known the truth all along.
18:44The day I slipped away from the territory, I nearly ran straight into Sebastian's sister-in-law.
18:49But that sharp-eyed neighbor stopped her and helped me escape.
18:52She urged me softly.
18:54Freya, I've always known that family never 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, but it must have worked.
19:08No one had come searching for me in over a month.
19:10But on the third day, a carriage suddenly stopped at my door.
19:15I thought Kale had come back and rushed outside in joy, only to freeze at the sight of someone
19:20far too familiar.
19:22Sebastian's hair was messy, his face gaunt and worn from the long journey.
19:26His voice dropped low, raw with desperation.
19:29Freya, I've been searching everywhere for you.
19:33He jumped off his horse and closed the distance in a few strides.
19:36Then he gripped my wrist so tight it felt like he'd crushed my bones.
19:40You promised me!
19:43How dare you leave without a word?
19:45Running all the way to this border fort thousands 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, Alpha Sebastian?
20:05Our mating bond is broken.
20:07I'm not your mate.
20:09Where I go, whether I live or die, it has nothing to do with you.
20:14My cold words cut deep.
20:16Sebastian's anger flared even hotter.
20:18Freya, I 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.
20:34When we bonded, you promised you'd never betray me.
20:37Said 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.
20:48Ended.
20:49Sebastian's eyes turned red in an instant.
20:51He yanked me close, our faces barely inches apart.
20:55Can more than ten years together just end like this?
20:59Freya, I know you're hurting.
21:01I'm sorry, alright?
21:02When we go back, I'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, it'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.
21:26You're still hiding behind that stupid lie after everything?
21:30Sebastian, your apology isn't even the slightest bit sincere.
21:33Sebastian's whole body stiffened, and his eyes instantly panicked.
21:37Freya, what do you mean?
21:38I looked at his crumbling face and tore off his disguise word by word.
21:42Serafina 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, destroyed 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, but not a single word came out.
22:03I was done wasting breath, ready to send him away.
22:06Freya, let me explain.
22:10She's jealous.
22:12She said all that on purpose.
22:14To tear us apart.
22:17You know, no woman wants to share her mate with someone else.
