00:05I was carrying life. A miracle, after the war wounds that had stolen my hope of ever bearing
00:11young. It was at today's banquet and celebration for the 7th anniversary of my marriage with Alpha
00:16Adrian. 7 years as Luna of the Moon Howler Pack. 7 years since I stopped being Princess Rosalina
00:23of the Silvermoon Bloodline. I held the sacred leaf blessed by the moon bloom tree, ready to
00:28tell Adrian, my mate, my husband, that we would finally have family. True Blood Kin. After my
00:34entire lineage had sacrificed themselves 7 years ago to protect the divine moon bloom tree during
00:39the great pack wars. Adrian's beta, Lorenzo, laughed in Munholler dialect. Alpha, having the Silvermoon
00:46princess wasn't enough? Now you've got Bianca too? How's it feel owning the younger sister after
00:52the Luna Rosalina? Adrian's scorn vibrated through my chest. Eyes crept down my spine. He answered
00:59in the same tongue, thinking me deaf to their words. Bianca? Like mother, like daughter. Well
01:07always plays well in the bed. He pulled me closer, eyes drowning in devotion, while his lips curved
01:13with amusement. Careful, Lorenzo. If my Luna heard you, she'd be heartbroken. Lorenzo's smile
01:19turned knowing. After all, Luna comes from the heroic Silvermoon pack that sacrificed everything
01:24to save the moon bloom tree and broke peace during the wars. Without her status and your marriage to
01:30her, your brother Norman might have taken your position. You had to give Luna Rosalina some
01:36respect. Meanwhile, Bianca's just the bastard daughter Luna pitied enough to bring here.
01:42The hand at my waist went still. The air froze. Other warriors pulled Lorenzo away, laughing
01:48nervously. Alpha Adrian, forgive him. He's drunk. Everyone knows you treasure Luna above all. We'll
01:55take him. The warmth in my blood crystallized into winter. So that's what my family's extinction
02:02meant to them. A shiny trophy. A bargaining chip for inheritance rights. They didn't know. They didn't
02:09know that Silvermoon bloodline carried the moon goddess's legacy so that every wolf tongue became
02:14clear as glass when I touched the moon bloom leaf. I forced my face into blank serenity, the smile I
02:19always wore, while my fingers whitened around the sacred moon bloom leaf. I didn't confront them.
02:26Instead, I sent word through the leaf to the moon bloom altar. Told them I, the last of the Silvermoon
02:32line, would finally accept their invitation to serve as priestess to serve the sacred moon bloom tree.
02:37I am gone. He tightened his grip on my waist, tender as ever. Darling, you look pale. Are you
02:46unwell? Looking into those fathomless green eyes, I felt only revulsion. One moment mocking my half
02:52sister's eagerness, the next playing the devoted husband. How long could he keep this performance
02:58running? Nothing. Just curious. What were you discussing? Adrian paused. But after just a moment,
03:06he pinched my cheek with easy affection, chuckling. Territory disputes with the whispers. I didn't
03:12want to trouble you, which might draw you to the old memories seven years ago. So we used
03:17moon how our tongue. Idiot. He had no idea what moon goddess heritage could do. I pushed him away,
03:24feigning distant grief. I need air. I didn't wait for his response. I walked to the terrace,
03:31passing envious glances from other Alpha's mates. Look at our moon howers Luna. So blessed. Moon goddess
03:38descendant, last princess of Silvermoon. Even after seven years, Alpha Adrian throws her these grand
03:44celebrations every year. Such fortune. I'd kill for that position. Once, those words would have made me
03:51feel lucky. I thought I'd been given to the best mate in the world when my dying mother entrusted me
03:56to
03:56him with her dying breath. Now, the irony cut like frozen glass. No one knew. No one ever suspected
04:03that this man who swore undying love saw me as nothing but polished chess for his heritage game.
04:08That behind closed doors. He betrayed me to deepest point. The moon bloom leaf glowed, interrupting my
04:14thoughts. Rosalada, blessed be the tree. You finally accepted. Seven years ago, when you chose that
04:23Adrian over priesthood, I mourned the waste. Come quickly. You can say goodbye to your family these
04:30next few days. Ah, so sorry. Anyway, no take backs. I'll send transport immediately. Agreed.
04:41I kept my voice light so she wouldn't feel my sorrow, but my knuckles had gone bloodless around the leaf.
04:47Seven years ago, my pack had summoned the tree's power to end the wars, paying with their lives.
04:53My mother, dying, entrusted me to Adrian. Then, I abandoned my path to priesthood to become his
04:59Luna. For seven years, he was my only family. My only family, if you didn't count the half-sister I'd
05:06brought here out of mercy when her house fell. The very same woman who had already spreading herself
05:10across my husband's bed. Now, neither of them would be family anymore. Hi, priestess. I won't change my
05:17mind. Send someone now. And use your power to erase every trace of from this moment forward.
05:22Why? Once erased, Rosalina Silvermoon ceases to exist entirely. You'll abandon every bond to your
05:28pack. Even the link to Adrian? He already betrayed me. We have no link left.
05:33Once I gave up my path to be the Moonbloom Priestess, a birthright gifted by the Moonbloom
05:38tree due to the maternal bloodline descended from the Moon Goddess buys, and I devoted myself
05:42to Adrian after losing everything and received nothing. He swore to your mother, dust returns to
05:49dust. The Moonbloom calls you home. I, High Priestess Otto, decree by the tree's authority.
05:56Rosalina Silvermoon is claimed by the Divine Moonbloom Alton. No wolf magic shall find her.
06:01Relief flooded me. With the Priestess' help, I could escape. Adrian would never track me.
06:08Child, you choose this without regret? Thank you, High Priestess. From this day,
06:13Luna Rosalina is dead. Once betrayed, never forgiven. Suddenly, the familiar male voice came
06:19behind me. Darling, what are you saying about betray and forgive? I turned to see Adrian's
06:25emerald eyes sharpened with suspicion. I summoned my practiced gentle smile. Oh, we were chatting
06:30over a Northern Pack story where the Alpha betrayed his Luna. Now she's severing their mate bond and
06:36reclaiming territory from the peace treaty. See, if he wanted to perform, I'd perform with him.
06:42His gaze raked my face, hunting for the micro-expressions that betray wolf emotion.
06:47Finding nothing, his shoulders loosened. His hands slid to my waist and, a kiss pressed to my temple.
06:55What a fool. Betraying one's Luna is betraying one's pack. Betraying the treaty itself. My queen,
07:02that would never happen to us moonhowers. What if it did? I looked into those bottomless eyes and
07:07smiled thinly. Rosalina, no ifs. Adrian cut me off. I, Adrian Moonhowler, swear by pack honor and wolf
07:18spirit. I will never betray you. I haven't forgotten your pack sacrifice and how your mothers trust.
07:24Of course. Just hypothetical. He went quiet, then rubbed his rough jaw against my cheek.
07:30Ridiculous. Entangled with my half-sister on the one hand while showing me this faithful love at the
07:35other. If I betray you, curse me that I never find you through all eternity. Curse me that my wolf
07:43spirit
07:43ache for you forever. Curse me that Moonbloom abandoned my blood. You know this, Rosalina.
07:50You're my mate, my other half. Without you, my wolf would run death towards the sun.
07:56But if you ever try to leave me, I will hunt you down and bring you back to me,
08:00no matter where you go.
08:03I didn't answer, just simply stepping from his arms. The highest altar's escort would arrive soon.
08:09I was leaving this embrace I'd once craved. Adrian, the punishment you just named will find you soon
08:16enough. He gestured his hand. Alpha, everything's ready. Adrian nodded, a mysterious smile curving his
08:23lips. He took my hand to the terrace edge. Suddenly, he covered my eyes, whispering,
08:29Darling, I have something special for you. Five, four, three. When he removed his hand,
08:38the sight stole my breath. Hundreds of moon moths drawn by the tree's light danced overhead,
08:43their silver glow forming my name. Rosalina. Adrian embraced me from behind, voice honey sweet.
08:49Seven years married, and every day feels like the first. Seven years ago, your family summoned the
08:55tree to end the wars. Your mother gave you to me with her last breath. That was the most precious
08:59duty of my life. Looking at my name burning in the night sky, I felt a world away. Seven years,
09:05from innocent silver moon princess to moon howler luna. It changed enough to turn love to betrayal,
09:11vows to lies. Enough to understand that his duty and gratitude had become chains crushing whatever
09:16remained true. Adrian turned me to face him, emerald eyes intent enough to melt stone. Seven years,
09:22and I still want to give you everything. Your family's sacrifice, I will never forget.
09:29He leaned down to kiss me. The instant before our lips met, the leaf at his waist vibrated.
09:35Irritation flashed across his face, that expression I knew so well. Good. Saved me the trouble of dodging.
09:42Damn it. I gave clear orders, no interruptions tonight. Let's see which idiot defies their alpha.
09:47But when he saw the imprint on the leaf, his color changed. I glimpsed it. Bianca's unique
09:54signature. I knew. It was her. Adrian cleared his throat, tucking the leaf away, fingers flying
10:01across its surface. I watched clearly as panic flickered in his eyes, followed by naked hunger.
10:07Sure enough, he turned to me with perfectly calibrated regret.
10:10What is it? I asked casually, nails biting my palm. The truth screamed itself,
10:16yet some stupid part of me hoped. This time, he'd choose me.
10:20Whisper pack emergency. Border conflict. Darling, I have to step away.
10:27Now?
10:28I'm sorry. I know tonight matters, but this is urgent. You understand? Border stability maintains
10:34the peace treaty. He kissed my forehead. Rest. I'll return soon.
10:41I understand. Pack comes first. I nodded, playing the docile Luna. Relief washed over him. He hugged
10:50me hurriedly, then strode away. I stood on the terrace, watching him leave. My wolf hauled an agony inside me.
10:56I silenced her. Since he had urgent business, I'd see exactly how urgent. I followed Adrian to an
11:03estate across town. Bianca wore a tight red dress, 10 centimeter heels, spring fever wild. She threw
11:10herself into Adrian's arms. Darling, that moon moth display. I was so jealous. Big sister always gets
11:18the best. Just like she got Silvermoon's pure bloodline. Adrian patted her back, indulgent.
11:25Greedy little she-wolf. Wasn't your birthday celebration enough? Like your mother, greedy enough
11:32to climb from servant into your father's bed. I promised. Behave. Keep our secret from Rosalina,
11:39and you'll have power and status too. Her family's extinct, just empty reputation now. But it's only
11:46been seven years since their sacrifice. I have my duty to perform and show some gratitude. The words
11:51drove through my heart like a thousand claws. I remembered that night, Adrian claimed he was
11:56handling pack traders colluding with Whisper Pack. Gone all night. I'd stayed awake, terrified,
12:02my wolf pacing endlessly. So this was the trouble he'd been handling. In bed. The real traitor was my
12:09husband, tangled with my half-sister. And I, his Luna, was the fool left in darkness.
12:15I just envies her, my Alpha. Why is she born princess while I'm bastard born? Why does her dead
12:22family still outrank me? There, there. What can I do? You're my treasure. Tonight, I have a surprise.
12:30Bianca whispered in his ear, then tugged his tie. Adrian's eyes blackened with desire. His wolf surfaced
12:37in his gaze. What are we waiting for? Tell me. Come upstairs and unwrap your gift yourself.
12:45In broad evening light, Adrian swept her up and strode inside. Bianca's moans drowned in his
12:51devouring kiss. The elevator doors closed, carrying them to the penthouse suite. I stood in the dark,
12:58watching them vanish. Seven years as mates. Worthless to him. His gratitude and duty, so cheap. Though I'd
13:06already known, seeing it still carved me hollow. Tears finally broke free. I remembered our first
13:13year. Adrian had sworn by pack honor, every anniversary. He'd stay by my side. Yet Bianca's
13:20single message made him abandon that sacred vow. I breathed deep, forcing down the storm,
13:25calming my wolf with pure willpower. Soon the altar escort would come. I'd escape. I returned to the
13:31estate, locking myself into a guest room. My wolf wept. Perhaps some hours later, I heard Adrian
13:38return. Rosalina? My Luna? Rosalina? He shouted through the master bedroom, voice rising to panic.
13:46Damn it! Where is she? Luna? Luna! Useless idiots! You lost the Luna?
13:53Alpha, we already searched the master room. Luna might have gone out. Find her! Right now!
13:59Footsteps approached. He searched room by room, his wolf's panic saturating the air. When he opened
14:06the guest room door, I pretended to just wake. Seeing me, his rage vanished. My goddess Rosalina,
14:13you terrified me. You came back without telling me? Do you know my wolf nearly tore the estate apart?
14:19I couldn't sleep, so changed a room. What's wrong? Nothing. Just losing you, I was afraid.
14:27He kissed my hair, voice still trembling with residual fear. If you truly cared,
14:33you wouldn't touch other women. Wouldn't touch my half-sister. I felt unwell. Came back early.
14:39Forgot to tell you. Soaked in his lies long enough, I could manufacture my own ones effortlessly now.
14:46Adrian's face flooded with relief. He lay beside me, locking me against him like precious treasure.
14:53Don't do that again. Losing you would drive me mad. My wolf would go feral. You know I'd do
14:59anything for you. Your family's sacrifice. And your mother chose me. I haven't forgotten.
15:06I closed my eyes, and he couldn't see the cold smile shown on my lips. Next morning,
15:11I prepared an elegant gift box. Inside, the Munheller royal badge symbolizing my luna status,
15:18and the mate bond severance contract I drafted and signed through the night.
15:21Adrian, your gift for our seventh anniversary. He took it, eyes bright with delight and about to
15:27open it. No. Wait two days. It will be meaningful then. He nodded obediently, placing the box carefully
15:34in his safe. I'll love it. Yes, you would love it then. In two days, I'd vanish completely.
15:40And this gift would tell him everything. I was in search of an unsuspicious excuse to avoid his
15:45energetic kiss when the doorbell rang and saved me from brainstorming. So energetic after his
15:50affectionate energy with another woman. The door opened. Speak of the devil. Here she would come.
15:56At the door stood Bianca, the bastard daughter of my father and the secret mistress of my husband,
16:01with her face streaked with tears, devastatingly fragile. And, in front of my eyes, she faintly fell
16:07her body into Adrian's arms. As if I never existed there, Adrian's face darkened instantly. He seized
16:14Bianca's wrist, dragging her to the back garden. Are you deaf to my warning? I warned you again.
16:20Never show yourself here. If your sister suspects anything, you know the consequences. My wolf will
16:26tear you apart. Don't forget, you and your mother are silver moon parasites. From my view upstairs,
16:32I watched everything clearly. Have you lost your mind? Want to drag all moonhowers down?
16:38If the peace council learns we're messing with Silvermore's last princess, do you know what
16:43happens? Adrian moved like enraged beast, wolf flickering in his eyes as he shoved her. Bianca
16:49took out a diagnosis report from the moon bloom physician. Even from distance, I caught her words.
16:54I know I shouldn't come, but I'm pregnant. The physician said last night was too dangerous.
17:02I'm nine weeks, high risk now. Adrian, I didn't want to trouble you, but I'm afraid. This is your
17:09first air. Moonhower bloodline's future. The next alpha. Do you want your moonhower blood to die out
17:15completely? My sister cannot produce the air. You know after the great war's trauma. Lightning struck me
17:22to pieces. My chest hollowed, carved out, bleeding. Bianca, also carrying Pac Young? I remembered early
17:29talks about bloodlines. During the great clan war seven years ago, your body was weakened.
17:37Pregnancy would endanger your life. I hope for a love between partners that is pure. I'd believed his
17:44devotion, but trying so hard directly only to give him a surprise with my pregnancy. However, I'd never
17:50imagine another pregnancy would also surprise me. Now I understood. He could casually breed with other
17:56women. He'd never mind my incapacably to produce children just because he didn't mind me that much
18:01as he pretended to be. Hearing pregnant, Adrian froze. He stared at Bianca's belly, confused. He'd always
18:09been careful. How could? Nine weeks? Critical stage. Must be careful. The pup. Our moonhower air cannot be
18:18endangered. Wait in the car. I'll arrange our best moon bloom physician for full examination.
18:24Bianca's tears turned to smiles. She rose on her toes to kiss him. Adrian's eyes darkened, but he turned
18:30slightly away. He grinned roguishly, turning toward the villa. I retreated to my room, resuming my seat
18:45at the dressing table. Nine weeks. The first night I noticed him missing. I touched my own flat belly,
18:52guilt overwhelming. I'm sorry, little one. Your mother was useless. Couldn't give you a happy family.
18:59Couldn't give you an alpha father who'd love us both. Soon, Adrian entered. Rosalina, I must leave
19:06and handle something. The whispers, you know. Possibly targeting our border territory. I must deal with
19:12this personally. Stay at the estate and wait for me. I nodded calmly. Seeing my normal expression,
19:18he relaxed, kissed my forehead, left. His performance remained flawless, switching between the cheating man
19:24and devoted husband Alpha seamlessly. I watched him disappear, then checked the wall
19:29calendar. This might be our final meeting. That afternoon, the moonbloom leaf blazed unexpectedly.
19:35On screen, a tree physician's diagnosis, a tiny wolf pup curled in a womb. Then another scene,
19:41Adrian gently cupping Bianca's slightly rounded belly, bowing to kiss it with reverence. That
19:45tenderness on his face, I'd never seen it. The alpha cherishing his unborn heir. The sender's left no
19:52signatures. Yet I know it was Bianca. Perhaps carrying the alpha's heir gave my half-sister courage to
19:58challenge the true Luna. She didn't know. None of it touched me anymore. My heart was a dead,
20:03silent sea. My wolf had gone quiet. Love dead inside. Only the thought of escape remained.
20:10Unsurprisingly, the next two days, silence from Adrian. I used the time erasing every trace from
20:16the estate. Silvermoon heirlooms went to the sanctum as donations. Personal belongings burned.
20:22Only essentials packed. Departure day was a rainy day. I woke before dawn, suitcase ready,
20:29waiting for the divine moonbloom altar's transport. About to confirm pickup time with the high priestess,
20:34the unknown contact sent again. Sister, physician says it's a boy. I'm carrying moonhogger's heir.
20:41Adrian says he'll give me and the child status. You useless woman who can't bear heirs,
20:45get out of moonhogger estate yourself. Don't forget, your silvermoon family's dead.
20:49No one supports you. Congratulations. Your dream comes true soon.
20:54The moment I sent it, transport arrived. With resolve, I reached moonholler's tree altar,
21:00waiting for the teleportation circle to activate. Then, light flared from the circle. Before the
21:06altar, it stood a row of moonholler royal guard. Seven years ago, Adrian and I had bonded here.
21:12Through rain, Adrian emerged from inside the altar house with a black umbrella,
21:16other hand-gripping Bianca's. She wore white maternity dress, blinding in the downpour.
21:21They'd just finished blessing the unborn pup. As Adrian shielded Bianca with the umbrella,
21:26wind tore the rain curtain. He looked up, directly at me. Across the raindrops,
21:32at where our vows were witnessed and his lies were shown, our eyes met. Shock. Confusion. Terror in his gaze.
21:39His wolf's agony reached me even from here. His lips moved soundlessly, my name. I looked away.
21:46Severed our final connection. The moonbloom leaf vibrated endlessly, Adrian displayed.
21:52I disabled transmission entirely. Having accepted the high priestess maximum protection,
21:57I must sever all past completely. The car passed familiar streets, every inch moonholler territory,
22:03every memory with Adrian. Now, nothing to do with me. I removed the moonbloom leaf,
22:08threw it from the window. Damn it! Tracker sent! Simultaneously, Adrian shoved through crowds,
22:16ignoring Bianca's cry, lunging toward where the car had stood, but it had merged into traffic,
22:20vanished, leaving only exhaust and rain-wet pavement. Adrian, what is it? Bianca clutched his sleeve.
22:26What happened? Nothing. Let's go. Returned to the car, but his wolf howled. Unease accumulated like
22:34stones. Rosalina, why there? Should be at the Munholler estate. And that look, that look terrified him.
22:41The look of a wolf of love already gone. At the safe house, Adrian settled Bianca upstairs.
22:46Rest here, little she-wolf. Tomorrow, the tree physician for thorough examination.
22:50Okay, but stay with me. I have business. Back soon.
22:56His private leaf rang. Alpha Adrian, bad news. Luna, Luna Rosalina, she's gone. Her scent fading from
23:05the house. Adrian went bloodless. Gone how? Explain. Luna's room's empty personal items vanished.
23:13Worse. The Silvermoon heirlooms from her safe, important documents, even the Silvermoon family
23:19badge, all gone. We searched the entire estate. Not a trace of Luna's scent remains.
23:26As if... As if she never existed here. The mate bond, Alpha. Can you still feel it?
23:33The leaf slipped from Adrian's hand, crashing down. Ice-cold terror consumed him. He clutched
23:39his chest. Was the bond still beating or growing fainter? Hearing commotion, Bianca descended.
23:45Adrian, you look terrible. What happened? He turned mechanically, wolf flickering with
23:50suppressed rage. Stewart says Rosalina's gone. I must find her. Bianca's heart surged with joy.
23:57Her provocation this morning had worked. That high Luna Rosalina had finally fallen from her throne.
24:03Watching Adrian's departing back, she forced down her smile, feigning concern to nearby warriors.
24:08Let's return and wait. But inside, she hoped more than anyone that Adrian would never find me.
24:14Adrian sent transmission after transmission. Only cold silence answered. The imprint you seek
24:20is disabled or temporarily unalable. Rain soaked his suit. He didn't care. After dozens of failures,
24:28he floored the accelerator, armored SUV bullet streaking through streets. The steward trembled to
24:33meet him. Alpha, why return? Adrian took stairs two at a time, bursting into the master bedroom.
24:39Everything erased. My existence scoured from the world. Empty closet. Empty vanity. Air devoid of my
24:47presence. He charged into my study. Tree texts gone. Desktop leaf gone. Everything gone.
24:55Alpha, we've searched everywhere. Confirmed. Luna's possessions all gone. Including the silver moon
25:03badge. Adrian stood frozen, disbelief drowning his eyes. That badge, her birthright,
25:09never abandoned unless. Alpha, perhaps misunderstanding? Maybe she left for some unhappiness? Just
25:17temporary? Bullshit! Everyone, find the Luna now! I feel the bond weakening!
25:23Two days ago, when he was leaving, she'd seemed normal. He thought of Bianca's estate visit. Had
25:30something happened? No. Impossible. He'd been careful. Their conversation in the garden? No. Rosalina upstairs
25:38resting. His wolf would have sensed it. Adrian mobilized moon howler influence across north and south
25:43airports, train stations, border checkpoints. Nothing. No bank transactions, no credit imprints,
25:50no scent traces anywhere. Night passed. Nothing. How could she vanish without warning, unless someone
25:56shielded her? A thought struck. Could Bianca have? Before finishing, his lieutenant Leonardo entered. He held a
26:03clear bag. Shattered moonbloom leaf fragments. Alpha, we found this outside the pack altar.
26:10Luna's leaf. Pack's priest says it might be recoverable. Adrian took it, hands shaking.
26:16Rosalina would never destroy her own things. Fix this damn thing! Now! I want answers!
26:2220 minutes later, the repaired leaf returned. Screen lit, final transmissions displayed.
26:27First, Bianca's diagnosis photo, tiny wolf pup. Second, Adrian cupping Bianca's belly,
26:34kissing it reverently. Then, Bianca's arrogant challenge.
26:37Sister, physician says it's a boy. I'm carrying Moonhogger's heir. Adrian says he'll give me and the
26:44child status. You useless woman who can't bear heirs, get out of Moonhogger Estate yourself. Don't
26:49forget, your Silvermoon family's dead. No one supports you. I learned later that single provocation made
26:55Adrian understand everything. Bianca's messages had driven me away. His wolf howled in pain and fury.
27:02Volcanic rage erupted from his chest. My only regret, missing what came next. Later,
27:08through various pack channels, I pieced together that bloody night. It's said that Adrian drove like
27:13madness to Bianca's hidden estate. His wolf fully controlled him, eyes red. When Bianca opened the door,
27:20Joy filled her face, thinking he'd finally abandoned me, dreaming of becoming next Luna.
27:24Adrian, taking me home? I'll pack now. I knew you couldn't abandon us. The Moonbloom blessed us.
27:32The slap cracked across her face before she finished. Adrian seized her throat,
27:37his face black as hell, killing intense saturating the air. His wolf's roar echoed in his voice.
27:44Bianca, who gave you courage to tell Rosalina about us?
27:48Bianca clutched her face, stumbling backward, cold sweat drenching her back. For the first time,
27:54she saw death in his eyes. She knew Adrian's feelings for me ran deep, so she'd stayed docile
28:00as secret lover. But pregnancy swelled her ambition, who didn't want to be legitimate Moonhoor Luna.
28:05She'd gambled, sent that provocation, knowing I'd leave upon learning truth.
28:09Then everything would be hers. But she never expected Adrian to see those messages.
28:15Not stupid enough to confess now, she shook her head.
28:18Adrian, what are you saying? I don't understand.
28:21I only want to be with you. Never competed with sister for position.
28:25Would never send such messages. The Moonbloom witnesses my truth.
28:30I don't know what you're talking about. Truth. Truth that you sent her what?
28:33Truth that you arrogantly announced your pregnancy? Without seeing those messages,
28:37he might have believed her. Now, the glaring text repeated in his mind,
28:42her lies only deepening the killing intent. He threw the leaf at her feet. Screen displayed
28:47her transmissions. Facing iron evidence, Bianca couldn't deny. Choking back sobs,
28:54she grabbed his arm, desperate. I know I shouldn't. But I couldn't bear our
28:58pup growing up bastard-born. Could you watch your bloodline? Royal Moonhauer blood air being
29:02gossip around? My bloodline to be gossiped? No. Bastard. He's worse than bas- I found what's
29:08between you and Norman. My wolf smells lies, Bianca. I warned you, Luna's position belongs to Rosalina
29:15always. You don't deserve it. You and your mother, silver moon parasites clinging to pure bloodlines.
29:20I kept you for novelty. How dare you compare to Rosalia? To the one in my heart. Her family
29:27sacrificed ending wars. Your mother's just a bed-climbing servant. If you'd stayed my little
29:33she-wolf, after birth I'd have provided for you both. But you broke my rules. Don't blame my cruelty.
29:41Adrian pulled a document from his pocket, Tree Bloodline Paternity Test. Seeing the paper,
29:46Bianca went paper white, collapsing, stammering. How? Adrian, I can explain. Explain how you passed
29:56some bastard as my heir. You betrayed me, entangling with my bastard brother and having this bastard
30:01pup. My bloodline? You and your mother? Both cheaters. No, the pup is yours. The test is wrong.
30:08The moon bloom cursed it. Wrong? I had three different tree physicians. Test. Same result.
30:17Know what's most laughical? He crouched, finger under her chin. I lost the only woman I ever cared
30:24about. My mate. My other half. For a bastard not even mine. For your cheap lies like your mother's.
30:30Bianca knew argument was useless. Despair filled her eyes. Then the total matters.
30:36Adrian, you're the fool. Yes, the pup isn't yours. But that was enough to make Rosalina believe,
30:43wasn't it? She's gone. It wasn't me who drove her away. It was you. You'll never find her. She'll
30:50never forgive you. The bond is broken. Her family's entrustment. You'll never repay it. Hearing gone,
30:57Adrian's eyes reddened. Wolf fully manifesting. You lie! Rosalina will return. I'll apologize.
31:05She'll forgive me. The bond will heal. He roared toward the door. Mike, enter!
31:10A scarred middle-aged man entered, his wolf dark and vicious. Moon Howler's most ruthless enforcer.
31:16Alpha, dispose of her. And the bastard in her belly. Clean. I want no more news of them, ever. Erase
31:25their
31:25scent from existence, as if they never existed. Bianca never imagined such ruthlessness.
31:32Her pleas turned increasingly frantic and sharp. But Adrian never looked at her again. His wolf had
31:39already judged her unworthy of attention. Having disposed of the cheating woman, Adrian threw all
31:45energy into finding me. But whether through peace council contacts or activating the collaboration
31:50of North and South's networks, no trace. Even his supernatural council connections found no records.
31:56As if I never existed. The mate bond grew. Faint. Distant.
32:03Impossible! Adrian's fists smashed the table, shattering it. His wolf howled in defeat.
32:09A living wolf can't vanish! A mate can't evaporate!
32:14Then Adrian remembered Anniversary Night. My question, his vow. If I betray you, curse me that I never
32:22find you through all eternity. Curse me that my wolf spirit ache for you forever. Curse me that Moon
32:29Bloom abandoned my blood. Now, his vow became cruel self-fulfillment. He suddenly remembered
32:35the elegant gift box I'd given before leaving. I told him to open it in two days, the day I
32:41vanished.
32:42My sudden disappearance had scattered his wits, he'd forgotten completely. In desperation,
32:48hope flickered. Perhaps clues to my location inside. Perhaps just a lesson, waiting somewhere for his
32:55repentance. He carefully retrieved the velvet box, hands trembling, slowly opening. Inside lay a badge,
33:02the Munhauer family badge symbolizing our alliance, representing my Munhauer Luna status. Beside it,
33:08a mate bond severance contract. My signature prominent at the bottom, the Munblom's blessing,
33:14retracted. In that moment, the bond broken, his final fantasy shattered. He finally understood,
33:22this time, I was determined to leave. Forever. I'd rejected the bond, ever and forever. Overwhelming
33:29regret drowned him. He wanted to strike himself. Why had he touched that accursed woman? Just because
33:35pack gossip claimed he owed Rosalina his secure inheritance, making him eager to show masculine
33:41dominance. Chained to one woman, such alpha life seemed suffocating. At pack gatherings, other alphas
33:48teasing, momentary wavering and finally entanglement with that woman. But he'd never wanted to abandon me.
33:54In his heart, I was always his only queen, only Luna. He'd never imagined momentary curiosity would destroy
34:01seven years of mating. Lose his most precious woman. Lose his other half. Munhauer's pack priest,
34:07Dante, entered. Alpha, found a clue. What clue? No clue. Are you provoking your alpha?
34:15Alpha, you found nothing through pack channels. I searched through moonbloom altar secret arts.
34:19Nothing. No clue is the only clue. Following Dante's gaze, they looked toward the south,
34:24the direction of the divine moonbloom tree, the moon goddess's divine proxy in this world,
34:29whose blessings wolves depended upon. Seven years ago, juvenile wolf transformation sickness had
34:35sparked the wars as packs fought for tree power to sustain their bloodlines. Yet no pack could violate
34:40tree territory, regardless of the great wars. This was why the silver moon earned respect, dying to
34:46summon tree power and end the war. But for Rosalina, even challenging the moonbloom itself,
34:51even sacrificing everything, he would pay any price. Meanwhile, at the highest sacred altar of the moonbloom
34:58tree, I worked relentlessly. After marrying Adrian, I'd been away from tree maintenance for years,
35:04skills grown rusty. Unwilling to disappoint the high priestess, I stayed and served beneath the
35:10tree constantly. Intensive maintenance consumed all time, leaving no energy for thoughts of that world
35:16full of betrayals and lies. I together with my fellow priestesses dedicated to the tree completely.
35:22We worked toward keeping the moonbloom vibrant, blessing juvenile wolf's transformations, only
35:28pious cooperation, no betrayal or deception. No dominant struggles for pack hierarchy. Unconsciously,
35:35the year's greatest full moon eve arrived. Our first maintenance phase finally broke through,
35:40the moonbloom radiated unprecedented light. Everyone rejoiced. As we prepared celebration,
35:46the high priestess voice came through the leaf, summoning all core priests to the council chamber to meet an
35:52important new patron. Wearing my daily priestess robe, I entered the chamber. Never imagined,
35:58the face in the center was the one I most wished never to see again. Adrian Munhauer. The maid I'd
36:04loved,
36:04destined partner, then the betrayer, now the wolf king I wanted erased from memory. The high priestess
36:10seated Adrian prominently, introducing this generous patron to everyone. Only then did I learn,
36:16this alpha had donated nearly all Munhauer pack's lunar sacred artifacts and invested almost as
36:21everything in our tree maintenance project, solely to gain the altar's access. Solely to find me.
36:26I forced composure, face blank, staring at the screen. My long silent wolf stirred uneasily.
36:34Mr. Moonhopper has made the largest single donation in our maintenance project's history. May the tree
36:40bless his generality. The chamber erupted in applause, cheering for this massive resource injection.
36:46His patronage will accelerate the Moonbloom's Radiance restoration. Everyone please attend
36:52tonight's welcome banquet. That evening, I had no choice, I attended. I wore simple white priestess
36:59robes, ordinary daily attire for tree service. Adrian stood at the banquet center, wearing tailored royal
37:05robes. Thinner, hollow-eyed, but those emerald eyes remained sharp as ever. His wolf radiated unmistakable
37:12despair. Throughout the banquet, I completely ignored his existence, focusing on maintenance
37:18discussions with those around me. Yet I clearly felt that heavy, burning gaze following me constantly.
37:25I sensed the shadow of our dead bond, trying to reconnect. After the banquet,
37:30I hurried toward the dormitory area, only to be blocked at the corridor corner. Adrian stood before me,
37:36two cautious Moonbloom guards behind. I'd known this moment would come. I turned, facing those eyes
37:43I'd once loved, now loathed, voice ice cold. What are you doing here?
37:47Rosalina, I finally found you. Do you know what I sacrificed to find you? I liquidated Moonhowler
37:54assets, searched every pack for lunar sacred artifacts, just to step into this place and find you.
37:59My wolf is dying without you. The Moonbloom no longer answers my prayers. When you left,
38:06why didn't you tell me? I searched like mad, mobilized all networks across the north and south.
38:11I'm rattles, every pack contact. I'm no longer Rosalina Moonhauer nor your Luna. You have no reason
38:18to find me. The mate bond is severed. You have Moonhowers to lead. Find a new Luna, one who can
38:25bear your
38:25heirs. One who won't remind you of Silvermoon's duty debts. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have
38:31touched that cheater. Bianca and the pup. I've disposed of them. They're gone. Come home, Rosalina,
38:37where you belong. My wolf needs you. Moonhowlers needs you. Your family's entrustness. I haven't
38:43repaid. Hearing him casually say disposed of my half-sister, ice filled me. This man's coldness
38:49exceeded imagination. This was the alpha I'd loved. I even began doubting seven years married.
38:56Had I ever truly known him? Adrian, from the moment you started cheating, we ended. The Moonbloom
39:03witnessed your betrayal. I don't know how you found me, but I erased my identity, evaporated from the
39:11world. Isn't that clear enough? I want nothing more to do with your world. With Moonhowler's world.
39:18My family's sacrifice shouldn't be your betrayal's bargaining chip. I responded coldly, turning to
39:24leave. Adrian stood frozen, voice carrying humility I'd never heard, and alpha begging.
39:30But I know I was wrong. Just that once, I swear by wolf spirit. Forgive me, I swear. Besides you,
39:38no other she-wolf will share my den. No other she-wolf will share my territory. I'll spend my life
39:44repaying Silvermoon's entrustness. Infidelity isn't mistake, it's choice, and I never tolerate betrayal.
39:50Not once. In my eyes, you're already dead. Besides, blood debt now divides us. However unworthy
39:58Biannica was, she was my half-sister. You killed her. I'll never forgive the murderer. My wolf will never
40:05accept you again. Your debt to my family ends here. The pup wasn't mine, Rosalita. Tree paternity test
40:13proved it. I don't want to hear. It doesn't matter anymore. Just then, the two altar guards approached.
40:20Sir, this is core maintenance area. You must leave immediately. I exhaled relief, turning toward my room.
40:26My wolf fell silent again. Just as I was closing my door, a heart-rending cry came from behind,
40:33half-human, half-wolf howl. Rosalina! If I hadn't touched her, if I'd stopped everything in time,
40:40would you have stayed? Given me another chance? My steps paused. I didn't turn back, didn't answer. I
40:49closed the door, shutting out that world of betrayal and lies completely. After all, in this world,
40:55there are no ifs. Only choices and consequences. And I had already found my own path. Without him.
41:03Without Moon Howlers. Without Wolf Bonds. That night, I fell asleep smiling, on the right track I was meant
41:10to go for to be Priestess of the Moon Bloom, true inheritor of Silvermoon shouldering my identity as
41:16the last moon goddess descendant.
