Short filmTranscript
00:00The door was on, with a thin amber light leaking out.
00:04Selina walked quietly, and a man's gasp came from inside the room.
00:07That voice, once her comfort, now hurt her deeply.
00:10Selina froze, then pushed the door open forcefully.
00:12She saw a broken maid's S-entress and a pair of trembling slender legs.
00:15Lucian, the cold wolf king, still had yust in his eyes, but frozen when he saw Selina.
00:18Why are you back early?
00:19Selina's face turned even paler as she realized what happened.
00:22Her uniform was torn, and her neck had red marks of an alpha's claim.
00:24Selina's chest tightened.
00:25It was Mirabelle.
00:26Tomorrow is the full moon.
00:27We need your alpha blood to activate the pack ward.
00:30So I came in.
00:32What, did I interrupt your important business?
00:33The woman hidden in the shadow collapsed into the light.
00:36Mirabelle, the one who'd nearly been violated by rogues.
00:38Selina had dragged her out of the snow herself and brought her to the estate.
00:41Sorry, Your Grace, Luna.
00:42I only came to bring coffee and-
00:43Don't be afraid, Mirabelle.
00:44Go.
00:45I'll handle this.
00:46Mirabelle glanced at Selina, then fled the SETI in a hurry.
00:48The room was filled with Mirabelle's sweet vanilla paramyres.
00:50You saw it, Selina.
00:51You know how brutal an alpha's sensitive season can be.
00:52The only Luna in my heart has always been you.
00:54Selina gripped the dagger tightly, then asked a trembling question.
00:56Lucian, do you even know what a mate bond is?
00:58It's a vow to the moon goddess.
00:59Selina, don't start.
01:00It was just a fling.
01:01Mirabelle is simple, pitiful.
01:02Being with me of you, back with me won't change your position.
01:04You're the hostess of House Rod here.
01:05My one and only Luna.
01:06That will never change.
01:07Selina stepped back, as if he was a disease.
01:09His scent, mixed with another Omega's, choked her.
01:13Lucian, do you know what you smell like right now?
01:16You smell disgusting.
01:18Worse than the corpses rotting at the border.
01:22Enough!
01:23Every powerful alpha has a hard, sensitive season.
01:26And you're always buried in pack affairs, refusing to satisfy me.
01:30Compared to lords who keep three or four lovers, I've been loyal.
01:33Haven't I?
01:34Selina stared at him.
01:35At the way he wore entitlement like a crown.
01:37Only six years.
01:38When Selina first met him, she was an orphan with no past.
01:40And Lucian was nothing more than a young heir cast aside by his own bloodline.
01:44To secure his position, Selina had gone to the bloodflang pack in his place, as a hostage.
01:49In their cold, damp dungeons, she'd been tortured.
01:52She'd taken three knife wounds so he wouldn't be humiliated.
01:56For years after, she burned her own life force to maintain the pack's wards.
01:59She fought his wars.
02:00She cleaned up the filth his rule retracted.
02:02And Lucian had become a strong alpha the world feared.
02:05I swear on wolf blood, I will love only you.
02:08Selina had found her birth parents.
02:09She was the kingdom's long-lost princess.
02:11She had planned to share that supreme power with him.
02:14But now, there was no need.
02:16Mirabelle feels unsafe.
02:17I want us to temporarily dissolve the mate bond.
02:19Selina's head snapped up.
02:20Her pupils trembled.
02:21Let Mirabelle be the Luna in name for a few days.
02:24Satisfy her vanity.
02:25Don't worry.
02:26My heart will always belong to you.
02:28Selina gripped the gold bowl so hard her knuckles ached.
02:30Her heart felt like it was being torn clean in two.
02:33Fine.
02:34Whatever you want.
02:35Selina.
02:36You're so sensible.
02:38Use the dagger.
02:40Sever the connection.
02:41Ancient severing instantation.
02:43A blunt, brutal pain exploded in Selina's chest, as if her soul were being ripped out
02:49by force.
02:50She didn't make a sound.
02:51She only turned and walked out.
02:53Selina stepped into the rain.
02:54He didn't know that once a mate bond broke, it was the end.
02:57Forever.
02:58From this moment on, you are you, and I am me.
03:01And when the truth finally reaches you, I hope you can still smile.
03:05That night, Lucien didn't come back.
03:07Instead, Selina watched servants carry crate after crate into the east wing.
03:10Signal stones that symbolized the highest wolf authority.
03:13Sacred relics meant for the pack's rules.
03:14Boxes of cash.
03:15Velvet cases of Jumin.
03:16Worse.
03:17He let her move into the room only the lunas of House Wolfheart were ever allowed to sleep
03:20in.
03:20The pack's altar had been stripped bare.
03:22It feels so good to be spoiled.
03:23To satisfy Mirabelle's laughable vanity, Lucien was stripping the pack's altar bare.
03:27Selina stared at it until the words blurred.
03:29Then she began to pack.
03:30She then, using a cipher only royal bloodlines understood, she sent one secret message to
03:34the royal guards stationed in the capital.
03:35The next evening, the pack ward reit began, and the chief officiant's place, the Luna's
03:39place, stood empty.
03:40Selina wore a plain black robe and stayed at the very edge of the crowd, in the most unnoticeable
03:44corner.
03:44The moon goddess, look!
03:45That's the sign, divine selection.
03:47Only Lady Selina could draw a blessing like that.
03:49Actually, Lucien said, I'm the one leading the reel tonight.
03:52You don't want to come here!
03:53As if summoned by her words, the gates opened.
03:55Lucien stepped out of the darkness, the Alpha Septim, symbol of rule, firm in his hand.
03:59Then Lucien walked straight past her.
04:01He didn't even glance her way.
04:02Mirabelle, you look beautiful tonight.
04:04Every smile froze.
04:05Everyone, silence.
04:07Tonight's reit will be led by Mirabelle.
04:08Alpha, are you joking?
04:10Since everyone is here, I'll make something official.
04:12Selina is no longer my Luna.
04:13Last night I smate with my own hand.
04:14From Tirabelle is the new hostess of House Wolfheart, and your one and only Luna.
04:18A dead silence swallowed the square.
04:19A dead silence smothered the altar square.
04:22Eyes flicked between Lucien, Mirabelle, and Selina.
04:24What should have been sacred had become a farce, but Selina only smoothed her ruffled
04:27sleeve and smiled a cold, empty smile.
04:29Congratulations.
04:30Selina, I knew you'd understand.
04:32He led Mirabelle to the altar steps and began the reit.
04:34Mirabelle messed up the invocations, fumbled the moon-silver bowl, and looked completely
04:37out of place.
04:37Angry whispered spread through the crowd, but Selina watched like a stranger.
04:40When it ended, Lucien took Mirabelle and left, ignoring the confused pack.
04:43Everyone, disperse.
04:45The crowd glanced uneasily, then slowly leapt.
04:47That evening, the dining room was lit warmly, but Selina waited alone for Lucien.
04:50She waited from six until eight, but he never came.
04:52She only received a social media notification from a luxury jewelry store.
04:55The post said, picking a turned-off phone for the new Luna and left without hesitation.
04:58Waiting was just pathetic.
04:59She went to the underground vault and opened it with her card.
05:01Inside were the spoils she'd fought for.
05:03Deeds, shares, jewels, all earned with blood.
05:06She once thought they shared this glory, but now she knew it was all hers.
05:09When she reached Mirabelle's name, she crossed it out completely.
05:11Mirelle would get nothing.
05:13She did not reward thieves.
05:14Near midnight, the pack gathered in the hall, expecting an alpha order, but they saw Selina
05:18standing there, calm and commanding.
05:20These are the spoils I took from enemies.
05:22They belong to all of you.
05:23Luna, thank you!
05:24Warriors saluted.
05:25What about Mirabelle?
05:26Is she not the new Luna?
05:27She gets nothing.
05:28The hall fell silent.
05:29Heavy footsteps came.
05:30Lucien returned with a jewelry box in his hand.
05:32Selina, what are you doing?
05:34Distributing the spoils.
05:35You were busy buying rings.
05:36I did what the pack deserved.
05:37Lucien snatched it and tore the pouch and papers apart in front of everyone.
05:40Do you know what you just tore apart?
05:44Lucien's green wolf eyes narrowed, dark with the fury of challenged authority.
05:48Whatever it was, it doesn't matter.
05:49Mirael comes first.
05:51Don't think you can use it to threaten me.
05:52Selina blinked slowly, a faint trace of irony at the corner of her mouth.
05:56I've never tried to threaten you.
05:58You distributed spoils in front of everyone and deliberately left Mirabelle out.
06:01You were humiliating her and humiliating me.
06:04The hall went still.
06:06Warriors tightened their fists.
06:08Elders frowned deeper.
06:08No one spoke.
06:10Alpha, it's fine.
06:11Selina just doesn't like me.
06:13You heard her.
06:14Apologize.
06:16Why would I apologize?
06:18Because I'm telling you to.
06:20He raised one hand.
06:22The air thickened instantly.
06:24Selina's knees buckled under an invisible weight.
06:26She clenched her jaw, forced herself upright.
06:30Kneel.
06:31Pain lashed through her body.
06:33Old wounds flaring as if pulled open.
06:35Cold sweat slid down her spine.
06:37Alpha, Lucian's eyes sharpened.
06:40The pressure increased.
06:41Selina's legs finally gave.
06:43She dropped hard to the floor.
06:44The sound echoed.
06:45Silence crushed the room.
06:46Her fingers dug into her palms until blood welled.
06:49Lower your head.
06:50Selina's breath hitched.
06:52Something unseen seized the back of her neck and forced her down.
06:55Selina, I never meant to steal anything from you.
06:57Selina heard the grind of her own teeth.
07:00Apologize.
07:01Properly.
07:03I won't.
07:05Now, or I'll make you.
07:07The beast-shaped shadow tightened around her heart, bringing brutal pain, and forcing
07:11her head lower.
07:12Gasps echoed in the hall.
07:14Selina closed her eyes.
07:16Not surrender.
07:18Finality.
07:18I'm sorry.
07:20Three words.
07:21No emotion.
07:22No soul.
07:23It's okay.
07:24I forgive you.
07:25Lucian lowered his hand.
07:27The shadow faded, and everyone breathed again.
07:29Selina rose slowly, knees numb but hands steady.
07:31She ignored Lucian and Mirabel, stepped over the paper scraps, and walked out.
07:35Selina, if you'd been this sensible, it wouldn't have come to this.
07:37She didn't turn around, and each step said the same thing.
07:39I'm not yours anymore.
07:40In her room, the door clicked shut.
07:42Only then did she realize that her palms were full of scars.
07:45She went to the bathroom, turned on the tap.
07:47Her face looked pale and unfamiliar in the mirror.
07:49She wiped the faint blood from her mouth, inhaled, opened the lowest drawer.
07:53She dialed.
07:54One ring.
07:54Two.
07:55On the third, someone answered.
07:57Selina.
07:58Father.
07:59I'm coming home.
08:00Are you certain?
08:00I'm certain.
08:01I will take the throne, and I don't want him anymore.
08:05All right.
08:05The royal guard will retrieve you tonight.
08:08On the wedding morning, Wolfheart Manor was filled with false joy.
08:12White florals climbed the staircase to the foyer.
08:14I was fastening my shirt's last button.
08:16My door was kicked open suddenly.
08:17Still playing lady of the house?
08:19Move her things out.
08:20This room is mine now.
08:23A box fell, and my things scattered everywhere.
08:25Even my daily hair clip was stepped on.
08:27Stop.
08:27I said, stop.
08:28Sister, you're not Luna anymore.
08:30Who do you think you can order?
08:31Touch my things again, and you'll regret it.
08:33Regret it?
08:34What are you going to do to me?
08:35She reached for the wooden box I never let anyone touch.
08:37I snapped out my hand and caught her wrist.
08:39You dare touch me?
08:41Alpha will tear you apart.
08:42She searched the room for something sharper.
08:44She saw the thousand-year oak under the glass cover.
08:47Don't.
08:47That isn't yours.
08:48Oh?
08:49This little keepsake of yours?
08:51She snapped the branch over her knee.
08:53My pupils shrunk.
08:54Something inside me caught fire.
08:56I raised my hand, palm down.
08:58Ah!
08:59Help!
09:00You broke something that was mine.
09:02Fear flashed in her eyes, then turned to calculation.
09:05I heard steady footsteps in the hall.
09:07She brightened, then grabbed my moon-silver dagger.
09:09Put it down.
09:10She dragged the dagger across her face.
09:12She slashed her arm, then her thigh.
09:14She tossed the dagger and curled up like a victim.
09:16The door opened.
09:17Lucian stood in the doorway.
09:18He saw the dagger, then Mirabelle's wounds.
09:21Alpha!
09:21Save me!
09:22She tried to kill me!
09:23She used moon-silver!
09:24She wants me to never heal!
09:25A low growl rolled from his throat.
09:27Selene.
09:28She did it to herself.
09:29I didn't touch her.
09:31You think I'll believe that?
09:32Enough!
09:32You're still lying!
09:34I reached for the dagger, but he grabbed my throat.
09:36He lifted me up, and my back slammed into the wall.
09:39My face turned white.
09:40Darkness crept at the edges of my vision.
09:43Apologize.
09:44I stared at him.
09:45Cold and unyielding.
09:47He flung me aside like filth.
09:49I hit the floor and coughed up blood.
09:52Alpha, it hurts.
09:53What if it never heals?
09:55His gaze locked onto me, full of fury.
09:58You think refusing to kneel makes you strong?
10:00To apologize makes you proud?
10:01She did it to herself.
10:03Shut up!
10:03He picked up the moon-silver dagger and walked to me.
10:05The dagger touched my cheek, a punishment.
10:07He slashed my cheek with cold precision.
10:09Humiliation hit me harder than pain.
10:10A second slash made a vicious X on my face.
10:13The wounds burned, refusing to heal.
10:14If you won't bow, everyone will see your loss.
10:17Come, I'll take you to the witch doctor.
10:18She glanced back, her eyes full of satisfaction.
10:20I was left alone with my wounds and the broken oak.
10:22Solana.
10:23Two of Mirabelle's men entered the room.
10:25Alpha said you're going to pay.
10:26What else does he want me to pay for?
10:28You will know.
10:29He locked moon-silver shackles on my ankles.
10:31Walk!
10:3190,000 steps to the boundary.
10:33We're banishing you.
10:35You're a rogue now.
10:36Banished.
10:37I couldn't believe it.
10:38They dragged me barefoot through the corridor.
10:40The shackles burned my ankles with every step.
10:43They never let me stop, not even to drink.
10:46I started counting to keep from going insane.
10:49My souls split open, blood mixing with dirt.
10:53Cross it, and you're not Wolfheart anymore!
10:55I lifted my foot and stepped over the line.
10:57The sense of belonging was torn away.
11:01My knees buckled and I collapsed into the dirt.
11:05I heard wolves wowel before losing consciousness.
11:08Then everything went silent.
11:10I woke to the hum of an engine and armored tires on the road.
11:13For seconds, I had no idea where I was.
11:14The air smelled of leather, antiseptic, and steel.
11:16Not Wolfheart Mansion.
11:17Pain tried to return, but not fully.
11:19Only the memory of fire remained.
11:20Two faces sharpened above me, pale with worry.
11:23You're awake, thank the moon.
11:24Selina, baby, don't-
11:25We have every witch on standby.
11:26You're gonna be fine.
11:27Do you hear me?
11:27I remembered Lucian's hand around my neck.
11:29The moon's silver X on my skin.
11:31He severed it.
11:32Both of them froze.
11:34Lucian cut the mate bond.
11:35The queen's face drained.
11:36Then rage flooded in.
11:37That bastard.
11:38He dared.
11:39He will pay.
11:40I swear to you, he will pay.
11:41Don't waste it on vows.
11:42My parents went still, listening.
11:44I marked my half of the territory.
11:45Send troops.
11:46Secure it.
11:47Now.
11:47Done.
11:48I'll have banners raised before nightfall.
11:49A thin thread of relief washed over me.
11:51I pulled out my phone from under the blanket.
11:53My hands were clumsy.
11:54But the screen lit up.
11:59Selina.
12:00I didn't look up.
12:01I powered the phone off.
12:03I tossed the phone into the night like it was nothing.
12:06Blackness swallowed it.
12:07The car kept moving.
12:08The palace lights rose on the horizon.
12:09Like a different world.
12:10I lay back, letting the road's vibration cradle my broken body.
12:13In exhaustion, I thought of Lucian's face when he discovers the truth.
12:15I almost laughed.
12:16A coldless curl of my lips.
12:17Then I let the thought go.
12:18Whatever his face looks like.
12:20Whatever his regret tastes like.
12:21It has nothing to do with me anymore.
12:22I was free.
12:23Free from him.
12:24Free from the lies.
12:25A new world waited for me.
12:26One I would claim for myself.
12:28No more being his prisoner.
12:29No more lies.
12:30My new life was about to begin.
12:32The witch doctor's clinic was cold and harshly lit.
12:36Mirabelle sat there, her moon-silver wound treated but still burning.
12:41Moon-silver wounds don't heal normally.
12:44Avoid emotions and power surges.
12:47Mirabelle nodded, tears falling like a wronged victim.
12:51Lucian stood aside, tense and restless.
12:53A faint sweetness clung to his collar, stirring his restlessness.
12:56He told himself he must protect Mirabelle, his new Luna, but his mind replayed Selina's
13:01cold, empty look.
13:02It won't infect, but it will scar.
13:05Moon-silver damage is hard to erase.
13:08Mirabelle went pale at the thought of a scar.
13:10Alpha, am I not pretty anymore?
13:12Will you leave me?
13:13No.
13:14He paused, surprised he'd made a promise.
13:17Hold me.
13:17I'm scared.
13:18You're all I have.
13:20He should have pushed her away, but he didn't.
13:21The clinic door shut, sealing them off.
13:24Her pheromones thickened, clouding his reason.
13:27You were terrifying today.
13:28I thought I'd die.
13:29He told himself she was injured and needed soothing.
13:32When she kissed him, he didn't dodge.
13:33He kissed back.
13:34Her lips were sweet, but there was something calculated about it.
13:37She pushed him towards the adjoining lounge.
13:39There was a narrow bed there, enough for anything.
13:42You're mine.
13:43You said I'm the only one for you.
13:44He didn't argue, clinging to proof he wasn't wrong.
13:47As heat tangled, Selina's cold eyes flashed in his mind.
13:50He remembered her, battered but determined, years ago.
13:52He'd sworn to protect her, to never let her suffer again.
13:55It didn't matter.
13:56She would understand.
13:57She'd served him for six years.
13:58This time would be no different.
13:59If she was upset, he'd coax her calm later.
14:01He buried his unease, pushing it down hard.
14:04He pressed her into the mattress, again and again.
14:06Movement and heat drowned out everything else.
14:08But a faint unease lingered in his heart.
14:11He couldn't shake the image of Selina's cold departure.
14:14The night was long, and his guilt grew heavier.
14:17The witch doctor's clinic was unusually quiet that morning.
14:21Mirabelle slept, clutching a fistful of Lucian's shirt.
14:25Lucian peeled himself away from her carefully.
14:28His chest felt heavy, uneasy.
14:30Selina's cold, empty eyes haunted me.
14:33My victory tasted rotten for the first time.
14:36I buttoned my shirt and grabbed my phone.
14:39My thumb hovered over Selina's number.
14:42An irrational unease gnawed at me.
14:44I needed Selina back as my Luna.
14:46I called her, waiting for an answer.
14:48No one answered the call.
14:50I called again, but still nothing.
14:53Unease turned to irritation.
14:55I stormed out of the room, rushing down the corridor.
14:58A man rushed toward me, panicking.
15:00Alpha!
15:01Report.
15:03Something happened to our territory.
15:05Our western half.
15:06It's been taken.
15:08By who?
15:09An enemy pack?
15:10It's the Royal Guard.
15:11I stopped dead, shocked by his words.
15:14What did you say?
15:16The Royal Guard took control with a decree.
15:18They took our defenses and key nodes.
15:20My mind went blank.
15:22Then rage hit.
15:23I growled, demanding answers.
15:25They had a legal boundary mark.
15:27Only core authority could place that mark.
15:29Selina won that land.
15:30Not me.
15:31Where is Selina?
15:32Why isn't she here?
15:33The men exchanged uneasy looks, silent.
15:35My temper snapped.
15:36I shouted at them.
15:37Finally, one man spoke, carefully.
15:39Selina was exiled last night.
15:40I couldn't believe it.
15:41I seized him in rage.
15:42Mirabel's people said it was your will.
15:45Selina was gone, and I couldn't find her.
15:47My man told me the news, his voice dry and harny.
15:50I stopped at once, my wolf eyes narrowing sharply.
15:54She was in moonsilver ankle chastels, barefoot, about 90,000 steps.
15:59The air around me vanished, color draining from my face.
16:02I never gave that order.
16:04I only told her to apologize.
16:05Who told them to do it?
16:07Mirabel's people said it was your will, Alpha.
16:08My knuckles cracked.
16:10A blade felt like it pierced my chest.
16:12Selina flashed in my mind, coughing blood against the wall.
16:14I turned around and held Mirabel instead.
16:16I was so stupid.
16:17My chest heaved.
16:18I staggered, almost losing my back.
16:19Get off me!
16:20I stumbled to the clanking.
16:21The door opened violently.
16:22The engine roared.
16:23I raced away, only one thought in mind.
16:25Find her.
16:25Now.
16:26She's strong.
16:26She wouldn't break.
16:27She must be at home.
16:28Just angry.
16:28I can fix this.
16:29The car crashed through the gates.
16:31I sprinted up the stairs.
16:32I shoved open the bedroom door, hoping to see her.
16:34The room was empty.
16:34Only wreckage and dried blood left.
16:36My breathing turned chaotic.
16:37Selina wasn't there.
16:38I pulled out my phone, shaking as I dialed her number.
16:40But no one answered.
16:41I called again.
16:41I called again and again.
16:42But only the automated message came.
16:44Selina, this is a joke, right?
16:45You're messing with me.
16:46My fingertips were icy, but my heart felt like it was on fire.
16:49A notification popped up from Selina.
16:50I was message hard, my thumb nearly slipping.
16:52There was no text, only a video file.
16:54I pressed play.
16:54Dump all her things out!
16:55She's not Luna anymore!
16:56Mirabel smashed her things, mocking her status as Luna.
16:59This useless thing?
17:00Just like her.
17:01Selina's wolf spirit pressure slammed Mirabel to the floor.
17:03She slashed her own face, arm, and leg without hesitation.
17:06Help!
17:06Alpha!
17:07Selina hurt me, please!
17:09I lost her, forever, and it was all my fault.
17:12Wolfheart Manor's courtyard stayed awake all night.
17:16Moonsilver chains bit their flesh, blood dripping nonstop.
17:20They couldn't shift, only thrash in helplessness.
17:24Pack members gathered, silent and nervous.
17:27Lucien stepped out, eyes bloodshot, clutching his phone.
17:31Who hurt Selina?
17:33Who sent her to the boundary?
17:36Alpha!
17:36We only followed orders!
17:38Whose orders?
17:39Lady Mirabel!
17:41She said you approved it!
17:42Shut up!
17:43Shut up!
17:44Mirabel returned, her expression turning ugly.
17:47Miss!
17:48Save us!
17:49We did it for you!
17:50Alpha, I don't know anything.
17:53You don't know?
17:54I was injured.
17:55How could I hurt her?
17:58Lucien threw his phone at her in anger.
18:01The phone lit up, playing a video.
18:04Dump all her things!
18:06She's not Luna!
18:07She crushed Selina's hairpin in contempt.
18:11Worthless, just like her.
18:13Mirabel's face turned pale, trembling.
18:17What are you pretending for?
18:20The truth was exposed, and she had nowhere to hide.
18:25Lucien walked towards me step by step, his voice cold and harsh.
18:29What are you pretending for?
18:31I shook my head wildly, tears pouring out as I tried to explain.
18:34It's fake!
18:35She's framing me!
18:36She's always hated me!
18:37I pointed at the two men, begging Lucien to believe me.
18:39Alpha, don't let her fool you!
18:41The square went silent, and every gaze felt like a knife on me.
18:43Lucien's face turned darker and darker, until his eyes were lethal.
18:46He said nothing, just reached for the pendant around my neck.
18:49He ripped off my Luna pendant, the silver chain scratching my skin.
18:52You think I'm here to debate what's real?
18:53I'm here to tell you you're finished.
18:54I was stunned, as if all the air had been knocked out of me.
18:57You can't!
18:58Last night you held me and said you wouldn't leave me!
18:59Everything I said last night doesn't count.
19:02He turned to the pack, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear.
19:04From this moment on, Mirabel holds no Luna authority whatsoever.
19:07A quiet stir ran through the crowd at his words.
19:10I turned pale, then screamed and lunged at him in anger.
19:13Lucien, are you insane?
19:14How can you do this to me?
19:15Don't touch me.
19:16Get out of Wolfharm.
19:19Get out?
19:20You're throwing me away?
19:21I did everything for you.
19:23Shut up.
19:23You're not even worth one finger of Selina.
19:25The innocence in my eyes vanished, replaced by fury and despair.
19:28Don't you dare say her name!
19:29You don't get to say her name!
19:31You were the one who hurt her!
19:32Why is it only my fault?
19:33Everyone in the square held their breath, shocked by my words.
19:36Lugin's face changed instantly.
19:38His wolf spirit flared, and everyone stepped back in fear.
19:41You dare!
19:43What, you're gonna kill me too?
19:44You just want a scapegoat!
19:46Before I finished, Lucien moved fast and brutal.
19:48He grabbed my neck and lifted me off the ground.
19:50I couldn't breathe.
19:51Alpha!
19:52Say one more word.
19:53I was crying, my lips trembling, seconds from blacking out.
19:57He let go, and I fell to the ground, coughing up blood.
20:01Take her away.
20:02Alpha, to the cells?
20:04No.
20:05Throw her out of the pack.
20:07Lucien!
20:08I'm your Luna!
20:10You were just a mistake I made.
20:17You'll regret this!
20:19The palace gate stood tall, guarded by royal guards.
20:25I stepped out out of the car, feeling the air shift.
20:30The guards stared at me with open hostility.
20:33I'm here to request an audience with the Alpha King.
20:36State your name.
20:38Lucien Wolfheart, Alpha of Wolfheart Pack.
20:43Of course.
20:45What is that supposed to mean?
20:47It means you'll wait, and you'll watch your tone.
20:50Do I know you?
20:52No.
20:53But we know you.
20:55Follow.
20:56We walked through silent corridors, past glowing ward stones.
21:00We finally reached a wide hall with a raised daze.
21:03The Alpha King sat on the daze, his presence overwhelming.
21:07Shackle him.
21:10What?
21:10You don't put shackles on an Alpha without cause.
21:14I said, don't!
21:17I fought back, refusing to be humiliated.
21:20What crime are you accusing me of?
21:22The crime you committed against the princess.
21:25Princess?
21:26What does a princess have to do with me?
21:29I have never laid eyes on the princess.
21:34Lucien.
21:37My father said I should tell you himself.
21:41We're alive.
21:42Thank the moon!
21:43Selilmia, listen!
21:44Don't call me that.
21:47What?
21:48You will address me as princess.
21:52Lucien's ankles were still chained by cold moonsilver.
21:55He stood in the hall, surrounded by contemptuous guards.
21:58The Alpha King was silent on the dask, an authority shadow.
22:00I found my birth parents.
22:02I returned to where I belong.
22:05Selina, what are you-
22:07Princess.
22:07Princess Selina, princess.
22:09I don't understand.
22:10You will.
22:11I raised my chin, and he saw the guards stood closer to me.
22:14I'm the crown's missing heir, the only daughter of the Alpha King and Queen.
22:17Lucien's mind went blank, unable to speak.
22:20My gaze stayed on him, cold and attached.
22:22The night I found your betrayal, I didn't come for your blood alone.
22:25Hope rose in him instinctively, stupidly.
22:28I came to tell you I had found them.
22:30I came to share it with you first.
22:32Selina, I-
22:33I was going to inherit the throne, and hand it to you.
22:35The guards were startled, and Lucien turned pale.
22:37No!
22:38You- you would have-
22:39Yes, because you were my mate, and I believed in you.
22:42But you made me see the truth.
22:44Fortunately, I stopped my loss in time.
22:45He knelt before me, his pride gone.
22:47Princess, I was wrong.
22:48I know I was wrong.
22:49I beg you, I just-
22:50I lost my mind for a moment.
22:51I was blinded.
22:53A moment?
22:54A moment of being blinded?
22:55I swear to you, I never meant-
22:57You let people force me barefoot in Moonsilver to walk 90,000 steps.
23:01I didn't know!
23:02You had me driven out of my pack, erased, banished, made into a rogue.
23:06Was that also you being blinded?
23:07No, no.
23:08That was Mirabelle.
23:10She did it behind my back.
23:12Behind your back?
23:13With your name, your authority, your severed mate bond?
23:16Princess, princess, please.
23:17Let me make it right, I'll do anything.
23:19If you want my forgiveness, suffer what I suffered.
23:22Walk it, barefoot, in Moonsilver, 90,000 steps.
23:26Moonsilver punished him, draining his alpha power.
23:29Guards dragged him, and the shackles bit deeper.
23:31Take him to the dungeon.
23:32He was pushed into the dungeon, in great pain.
23:35Enjoy it.
23:36It's only a fraction.
23:41Seven years of marriage, and Scarlett Hayes had just inherited billions.
23:44But while going through the paperwork with her lawyer, she learned the truth.
23:48Her marriage certificate was a lie.
23:50The fortune one she was supposed to share, would now be hers alone.
23:53After her lawyer dug into the details, he dropped a bombshell.
23:56Mr. Lancaster's spouse on record is Whitney Owens.
23:59You, Mrs. Hayes, are currently unmarried.
24:01The whole city of New York knew, that Scarlett and York Lancaster,
24:04had been promised to each other since childhood.
24:06She was York's precious jewel, his everything.
24:09At their wedding, York had given her the fairy tale ceremony,
24:12making vows before everyone.
24:14York Lancaster will never betray Scarlett Hayes.
24:17But the truth?
24:17The marriage certificate of York and Whitney was filed the day after their wedding.
24:21Scarlett let out a bitter laugh.
24:23She stared blankly at her phone, hands trembling as a message came in.
24:26Baby, your favorite new Gucci bag just landed.
24:29I'm swinging by the office first, then straight home to you.
24:32Love you.
24:32It was supposed to be the day York returned from his business trip.
24:36Scarlett was waiting for him at the airport.
24:38But as she watched the two of them step out of the terminal, her fists clenched.
24:42There, York tucked his phone into his coat pocket and cupped Whitney Owens' neck.
24:45Kissing her with abandon, Scarlett's face was already streaked with tears.
24:49York could kiss another woman while whispering love to her.
24:52As she watched York, memories flooded her mind.
24:56They had grown up together in middle school.
24:59Scarlett's parents planned to move her abroad, but York begged them to let her stay.
25:03He kneeled in front of her house for seven days, holding onto her hand as he fell unconscious, pleading.
25:08Scarlett, don't go.
25:10You're mine.
25:10You've always been mine.
25:12I won't survive without you.
25:13Throughout high school and college, York had always been by her side.
25:17Everyone knew Scarlett was York's treasure.
25:19After the scholastic assessment test, the Lancaster family pushed York to apply to a university abroad, but he stayed in
25:25New York with her.
25:26Where Scarlett goes, I go.
25:28The second we're old enough, we're getting married.
25:30At 22 they had their wedding, but Scarlett never imagined that someone who loved her so deeply would betray her
25:35like this.
25:36The marriage certificate was something York had arranged for the lawyer to file the very next day, claiming he didn't
25:41want to tire her out on their wedding night.
25:43They had known each other since birth, inseparable for 27 years.
25:47But in the end, York had secretly married another woman.
25:50He had taken over her entire life, and now Scarlett had made a decision.
25:54She would erase him from her future no matter the cost.
25:56She didn't go home, instead she went straight to the lawyer to begin asset inheritance.
26:01All the Hayes family's assets were now under her name, including the Lancaster shares York had transferred to her before
26:06the marriage.
26:07The lawyer asked again, confirming with her.
26:10Ms. Hayes, are you sure to sell all assets, including the Hayes family business?
26:14Yes.
26:15Sell it all.
26:19In a matter of hours, Scarlett signed several contracts.
26:22Half of the Hayes assets were sold.
26:24The other half was promised to buyers from out of town, who couldn't make it immediately but were preparing funds
26:29to complete the transactions in the next few days.
26:32The lawyer assured her,
26:33We can finish everything in seven days.
26:35York Lancaster, your betrayal and your cruelty will all end in seven days.
26:39Three hours later, Scarlett returned to the home she shared with York.
26:43York's cold gaze fixed on her.
26:44Scarlett, where have you been?
26:46I called you fifty times, waited two hours.
26:48Do you have any idea how worried I was?
26:50She met his stare head on, the image burned fresh in her mind.
26:54York's arm locked around Whitney's waist at the airport, his mouth devouring hers like she was oxygen and he was
26:59drowning.
27:00Once upon a time, those same lips on Scarlett had felt like heaven, now they made her stomach turn.
27:05He stepped closer.
27:06You know I hate it when you disappear without a word.
27:08Wasn't the last time enough punishment for you?
27:10Before she could react, his hand grabbed her waist tightly.
27:14Scarlett's body stiffened, her lashes trembling as she stood frozen.
27:17The scent of his cologne, once so comforting now felt like a warning, dangerous, suffocating.
27:22She knew York's possessiveness too well.
27:24At twenty she'd run off with friends for one reckless mountain trip, just to breathe.
27:29York went wild, mobilizing helicopters across the city to search for her.
27:33When he finally found her, the first thing he did was lock her in his apartment for an entire month,
27:37taking what he wanted relentlessly.
27:39She begged him to stop, but he didn't listen, it was only when she swore she would never disappear again,
27:44that he finally let go.
27:45After that, Scarlett had been terrified of York.
27:48Now York's long fingers lifted her chin.
27:50Talk.
27:50Scarlett.
27:51Are you trying to make me punish you again?
27:53A hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
27:55If he found out what she was planning, to leave him for good, he would truly snap.
27:59Her voice trembled.
28:00I.
28:01I was at the hospital.
28:02The words hit him like a stone, his eyes darkened instantly, his lips brushed her forehead as he whispered softly.
28:08Baby, I know you still want my kids, but your body, it can't, we've tried for years, enough, I just
28:14want you.
28:14No more hospitals, I hate seeing you in pain.
28:1723 rounds of IVF, bruised arms, endless needles, all for nothing.
28:22Moments later York's phone rang, he reached over and rubbed her head gently.
28:25I've gotta head out for a bit.
28:27Stay here, don't make me angry Scarlett.
28:30He was gone before she could answer.
28:32Scarlett let out a hollow, bitter laugh.
28:34So he'd only come back to make sure his little bird was still in the cage.
28:37Half an hour later, Scarlett received a voice message from an unfamiliar number.
28:42York, is Whitney really pregnant?
28:44Yeah, three months, Scarlett can't give me kids, but my family needs an heir, grandfather's riding my ass.
28:50The voice sounded like one of York's friends.
28:52York, you insisted on marrying Scarlett, that's why your grandfather made you sterilize her and forbade you two from registering
28:57your marriage.
28:58Scarlett's face went deftly pale, sterilization?
29:01The pain in her chest intensified, her body aching as memories flooded back.
29:05York had brought her a bowl of special herbal medicine on their wedding night.
29:09Scarlett, this is a fertility recipe from my family.
29:11Drink it, and we'll make a baby tonight.
29:14Back then, she had shyly lain in his arms as he fed her every last drop.
29:17He had never intended for her to have children.
29:20The voice on the recording continued.
29:21Of course I love Scarlett.
29:23How else would I make Whitney pregnant for her?
29:25How else would I fight against my family just to keep her?
29:28My parents died in that crash because of her family.
29:30I've tried to bury it.
29:31I've given Scarlett everything.
29:33Except kids.
29:34Except a real marriage.
29:35Everything else is hers.
29:37And Whitney?
29:38Just your incubator?
29:40Long silence, then York's voice, quiet, honest.
29:42Whitney is calm, peaceful.
29:44When I'm with her, I feel at ease.
29:46That's something Scarlett can never give me.
29:49Scarlett couldn't bear to listen any longer.
29:50She cut off the recording and let the tears fall silently.
29:53So York had never found peace in his heart for her.
29:56She dialed a number, her voice shaky.
29:58Ryan, can you fit in one more surgery tomorrow morning?
30:01What kind?
30:02I'll call the head surgeon.
30:03Abortion.
30:04That night after York had left, Scarlett received a text from him.
30:08Scarlett, I won't be coming back tonight.
30:10I drank too much, and I'll go to the office in the morning, be back tomorrow night.
30:14But the man who said he would go to the office showed up at the hospital with Whitney Owens.
30:18There, in the gynecology department, Scarlett saw York holding Whitney close.
30:22Shielding her in a corner.
30:24That domineering protection.
30:25Just like the way he used to shield her.
30:27York, I'm fine.
30:28There are too many pregnant women here.
30:30Don't worry.
30:31York's voice was low, filled with restraint.
30:33I told you to go to a private hospital.
30:35But you insisted not.
30:36This place is not good at all.
30:39Whitney's eyes darkened.
30:40York, I'm just a servant's daughter.
30:42Not at your or Miss Scarlett's status.
30:43This costs less, and I don't want to waste your money.
30:46York's profile softened with tenderness.
30:48Scarlett always wants the best.
30:50The most expensive.
30:51One bag for her costs what you make in 10 years.
30:53She is never understanding like you.
30:55As York spoke, he embraced Whitney and kissed her forehead.
30:58Scarlett, hiding in plain sight.
31:00Couldn't bear it any longer.
31:01York had transferred all his Lancaster shares to her before their wedding.
31:04And then Scarlett heard York say.
31:06You'll stay with my parents for the pregnancy.
31:08And the green diamond I bought at the auction will be made into your wedding ring.
31:11The green diamond, the one she had once told York about, saying it symbolized, one and only.
31:16She had begged him to get it for her.
31:18The bitter realization churned in her gut as she made her way toward the operating room.
31:22As she changed into her surgical gown, her phone rang.
31:25It was York.
31:26She answered, her voice barely masking her exhaustion.
31:29Scarlett, you awake?
31:30Still upset.
31:31His tone was unusually soft.
31:32I've got 99 roses coming your way.
31:35Our wedding anniversary's coming up.
31:36I'll surprise you.
31:37Just wait.
31:38Scarlett hung up, not wanting to hear another word.
31:41Lying on the cold operating table, Scarlett stared up at the sterile ceiling,
31:45her heart as numb as the instruments that would soon end her only hope.
31:48The recovery room door swung open.
31:51Ryan stepped in, face pale, eyes heavy with worry.
31:54Scarlett, listen, if you do this, you may never be able to have a child again.
31:57Are you sure you want to do this?
31:59Tears blurred Scarlett's vision, but she forced herself to speak.
32:03I've decided, Ryan.
32:04The twins were her gift to York for their seventh wedding anniversary.
32:07A gift he never wanted.
32:09One he had tried to destroy from the start.
32:10Cold instruments entered her body.
32:13The pain twisted like a knife, each twist pulling at her insides.
32:16And with it, she cut the last remaining link between her and York.
32:19When she woke up after the procedure, the first message she received was from an unknown number.
32:24It was a location for a bridal shop.
32:26Despite the pain, Scarlett dragged herself into a car and headed straight there.
32:30When she arrived, York and Whitney were just outside.
32:33York had his arms wrapped around Whitney, his voice filled with helplessness.
32:36Whitney, you're my wife.
32:38I can't give you the big public wedding you deserve, but at least let me see you in white tonight.
32:43York, it's too much.
32:45The dresses here cost a fortune.
32:47York gently touched her nose, his voice full of tenderness.
32:50Silly girl.
32:50I can't give you my name on paper, but I can make you happy.
32:54Let me do this for you.
32:55Scarlett sat in the car, her chest aching.
32:57Whitney was his wife now.
32:59Then who was she?
32:59Watching York treat Whitney the same way he once treated her, holding her, kissing her,
33:04speaking to her with affection, it felt like a dagger to her heart.
33:07And in that second, any flicker of regret about the abortion died.
33:11York Lancaster didn't deserve to breathe the same air as her children.
33:14She and York had picked out their wedding dress in this very shop.
33:17And now several luxury cars lined up in front.
33:19Out of the car stepped York's friends.
33:21Guys she had known for years.
33:23Scarlett overheard their conversation.
33:25York's throwing Whitney a secret wedding right here tonight, full surprise.
33:28Scarlett gonna flip if she finds out.
33:30Scarlett can't have kids, so York lied to her, even the marriage certificate was fake.
33:35Scarlett felt her blood run cold.
33:37So all the friends she had grown up with knew about York's betrayal?
33:39The bridal shop was hers.
33:41She had opened it when she was bored in college.
33:43Every wedding dress in the store was designed by her.
33:46Only the manager knew she was the owner.
33:48Once the crowd entered, Scarlett slipped through the back door.
33:51She stood at a shadowy spot on the third floor, where she could watch without being seen.
33:56There on the stage stood York in a white suit.
33:58And Whitney in a snow-white wedding dress.
34:01This dress.
34:01The inspiration came from their first kiss.
34:03When York had pinned her against a blackboard, his lips tasting of strawberry candy.
34:07She had designed it, calling it first love.
34:10Now York and Whitney stood on the stage.
34:12Surrounded by friends she had known all her life, they clapped and cheered.
34:15York, your bride is beautiful.
34:18York, congratulations!
34:19It's time to exchange rings!
34:21Scarlett watched as York took the ring from the box.
34:23The rings were identical.
34:25To the ones.
34:25They had exchanged at their wedding.
34:27So even the rings were part of this twisted triangle.
34:30Suddenly, the lights on stage flickered and went out.
34:32But the lights above where Scarlett stood remained brightly lit.
34:35The moment York saw Scarlett.
34:36His eyes turned red.
34:38He dropped everything.
34:39Abandoned Whitney.
34:40And rushed toward the third floor.
34:41Everyone watched as York trembled, his face ashen.
34:45He shakily wrapped his arms around Scarlett, who looked lifeless, her eyes dull.
34:49Scarlett, baby, listen.
34:51His voice cracked.
34:52We were just shooting a promo video.
34:53That's all.
34:55When the ad dropped citywide on our anniversary, it was gonna be my surprise for you.
35:00The ring is designed for you.
35:01Only you.
35:02York's trembling hand immediately placed the ring on Scarlett's ring finger.
35:05But Scarlett could feel it.
35:07The ring wouldn't fit.
35:08It wasn't her size.
35:09Meanwhile, downstairs, Whitney's face was pale, tears brimming in her eyes.
35:13York's voice turned icy.
35:15Secretary Owens, my wife is upset.
35:17You'd better explain, right now.
35:19Whitney's voice was meek, full of submission.
35:21Ms. Hayes, this whole wedding setup.
35:23It's just for the commercial.
35:24The ad's scheduled to rent everywhere.
35:26Three days from now, on your anniversary.
35:28York's handsome face broke into a smile as he held Scarlett close.
35:31See, baby?
35:32It's all for you.
35:33Everything I do is for you.
35:34I love you, Scarlett.
35:36That's never gonna change.
35:3727 years of those same sweet words, she'd swallowed everyone, believed everyone, and
35:42now he stood here, after betraying her, after sterilizing her, after giving another woman
35:47their rings, and had the nerve to say them again, in front of everyone.
35:51Whitney, clearly stung by York's words, couldn't hold herself back.
35:55Gosh, my God.
35:57Whose mistake are you?
35:59Is it okay?
35:59All right.
35:59You're alright.
36:00Absolutely.
36:04I don't know.
36:04What else do you feel?
36:06You
