Short filmTranscript
00:05I was carrying life. A miracle, after the war wounds that had stolen my hope of ever bearing young.
00:12It was at today's banquet and celebration for the 7th anniversary of my marriage with Alpha Adrian.
00:177 years as Luna of the Moonholler pack. 7 years since I stopped being Princess Rosalina of the
00:23Silvermoon bloodline. I held the sacred leaf blessed by the moonbloom tree, ready to tell
00:28Adrian, my mate, my husband, that we would finally have family. True blood kin. After my entire
00:34lineage had sacrificed themselves 7 years ago to protect the divine moonbloom tree during the
00:39great 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.
00:59He answered in the same tongue, thinking me deaf to their words.
01:03Bianca? Like mother, like daughter. Well always plays well in the bed.
01:09He pulled me closer, eyes drowning in devotion, while his lips curved with amusement.
01:13Careful, Lorenzo. If my Luna heard you, she'd be heartbroken. Lorenzo's smile turned knowing.
01:20After all, Luna comes from the heroic Silvermoon pack that sacrificed everything to save the moonbloom
01:25tree and broke peace during the wars. Without her status and your marriage to her, your brother
01:31Norman might have taken your position. You had to give Luna Rosalina some respect. Meanwhile, Bianca's
01:39just the bastard daughter Luna pitied enough to bring here. The hand at my waist went still.
01:44The air froze. Other warriors pulled Lorenzo away, laughing nervously. Alpha Adrian, forgive
01:51him. He's drunk. Everyone knows you treasure Luna above all. We'll take him. The warmth in
01:58my blood crystallized into winter. So that's what my family's extinction meant to them. A shiny
02:04trophy. A bargaining chip for inheritance rights. They didn't know. They didn't know that Silvermoon
02:10bloodline carried the moon goddess's legacy so that every wolf tone became clear as glass when I
02:15touched the moonbloom leaf. I forced my face into blank serenity, the smile I always wore, while my
02:21fingers whitened around the sacred moonbloom leaf. I didn't confront them. Instead, I sent word through
02:27the leaf to the moonbloom altar. Told them I, the last of the Silvermoon line, would finally accept their
02:34invitation to serve as priestess to serve the sacred moonbloom tree. I am gone. He tightened his grip
02:42on my waist, tender as ever. Darling, you look pale. Are you unwell? Looking into those fathomless green
02:48eyes, I felt only revulsion. One moment mocking my half-sister's eagerness, the next playing the
02:55devoted husband. How long could he keep this performance running? Nothing. Just curious. What
03:02were you discussing? Adrian paused. But after just a moment, he pinched my cheek with easy
03:08affection, chuckling. Territory disputes with the whispers. I didn't want to trouble you,
03:13which might draw you to the old memories seven years ago. So we used Moonhauer tongue. Idiot.
03:19He had no idea what moon goddess heritage could do. I pushed him away, feigning distant grief.
03:26I need air. I didn't wait for his response. I walked to the terrace, passing envious glances
03:32from other Alpha's mates. Look at our Moonhauer's Luna. So blessed. Moon goddess descendant,
03:38last 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
03:56me to him with her dying breath. Now, the irony cut like frozen glass. No one knew. No one ever
04:03suspected that 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 moonbloom leaf glowed,
04:14interrupting my thoughts.
04:15Rosalada, blessed be the tree. You've finally accepted. Seven years ago, when you chose that
04:23Adrian over priesthood, I mourned the waste.
04:27Come quickly. You can say goodbye to your family these next few days. Ah, so sorry.
04:35Anyway, 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
04:46the leaf. Seven years ago, my pack had summoned the tree's power to end the wars, paying with their
04:52lives. My mother, dying, entrusted me to Adrian. Then, I abandoned my path to priesthood to become
04:59his Luna. For seven years, he was my only family. My only family, if you didn't count the half-sister
05:06I'd brought here out of Mercy when her house fell. The very same woman who had already spreading
05:10herself across my husband's bed. Now, neither of them would be family anymore.
05:15High Priestess, I won't change my mind. Send someone now, and use your power to erase every
05:20trace of from this moment forward.
05:22Why? Once erased, Rosalina Silvermoon ceases to exist entirely. You'll abandon every bond
05:28to your pack. 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 to
05:43Adrian after losing everything, and received nothing. He swore to your mother, dust returns
05:49to dust. The Moonbloom calls you home. I, High Priestess Otto, decree by the tree's authority.
05:55Rosalina Silvermoon is claimed by the Divine Moonbloom Alton. No wolf magic shall find her.
06:02Relief flooded me. With the Priestess' help, I could escape. Adrian would never track me.
06:08Child, you choose this without regret?
06:11Thank you, High Priestess. From this day, Luna Rosalina is dead. Once betrayed, never forgiven.
06:16Suddenly, the familiar male voice came behind me.
06:20Darling, what are you saying about betray and forgive?
06:23I turned to see Adrian's emerald eyes sharpened with suspicion. I summoned my practiced gentle
06:28smile. Oh, we were chatting over a Northern Pack story where the Alpha betrayed his Luna.
06:34Now she's severing their mate Bond and reclaiming territory from the peace treaty.
06:38See, if he wanted to perform, I'd perform with him. His gaze raked my face, hunting for the
06:45micro-expressions that betray wolf emotion. Finding nothing, his shoulders loosened. His hands slid
06:51to my waist and a kiss pressed to my temple. What a fool. Betraying one's Luna is betraying
06:58one's pack. Betraying the treaty itself. My Queen, that would never happen to us Moonhowers.
07:04What if it did?
07:05I looked into those bottomless eyes and smiled thinly.
07:10Rosalina, no ifs.
07:12Adrian cut me off.
07:14I, Adrian Moonhowler, swear by pack honor and wolf spirit. I will never betray you. I haven't
07:21forgotten your pack sacrifice and how your mother's trust.
07:24Of course. Just hypothetical.
07:26He went quiet, then rubbed his rough jaw against my cheek. Ridiculous. Entangled with my half-sister
07:33on the one hand while showing me this faithful love at the other.
07:37If I betray you, curse me that I never find you through all eternity. Curse me that my
07:42wolf spirit ache for you forever. Curse me that Moonbloom abandoned my blood. You know
07:49this, Rosalina. You're my mate, my other half. Without you, my wolf would run death towards
07:55the sun. But if you ever try to leave me, I will hunt you down and bring you back to
08:00me,
08:00no matter where you go.
08:03I didn't answer, just simply stepping from his arms. The highest altar's escort would
08:09arrive soon. I was leaving this embrace I'd once craved.
08:13Adrian, the punishment you just named will find you soon enough.
08:17He gestured his hand.
08:18Alpha, everything's ready.
08:20Adrian nodded, a mysterious smile curving his lips. He took my hand to the terrace edge.
08:26Suddenly, he covered my eyes, whispering,
08:29Darling, I have something special for you. Five, four, three.
08:37When he removed his hand, the sight stole my breath. Hundreds of moon moths drawn by the
08:41tree's light danced overhead, their silver glow forming my name, Rosalina. Adrian embraced
08:47me from behind, voice honey sweet.
08:49Seven years married, and every day feels like the first. Seven years ago, your family summoned
08:54the tree to end the wars. Your mother gave you to me with her last breath. That was the
08:59most precious duty of my life.
09:00Looking at my name burning in the night sky, I felt a world away. Seven years. From innocent
09:06silver moon princess to moonheller 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
09:15whatever remained true. Adrian turned me to face him, emerald eyes intent enough to melt
09:20stone. Seven years, and I still want to give you everything. Your family's sacrifice, I will
09:27never forget. He leaned down to kiss me. The instant before our lips met, the leaf at his
09:33waist vibrated. Irritation flashed across his face, that expression I knew so well. Good.
09:39Saved me the trouble of dodging.
09:42Damn it. I gave clear orders, no interruptions tonight. Let's see which idiot defies their alpha.
09:48But 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.
10:06Sure enough, he turned to me with perfectly calibrated regret. What is it? I asked casually,
10:13nails biting my palm. The truth screamed itself, yet some stupid part of me hoped. This time,
10:19he'd choose me. Whisper pack emergency. Border conflict. Darling, I have to step away.
10:27Now? I'm sorry. I know tonight matters, but this is urgent. You understand? Border stability
10:34maintains the 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
10:56inside me. I silenced her. Since he had urgent business, I'd see exactly how urgent. I followed
11:03Adrian to an estate across town. Bianca wore a tight red dress, 10 centimeter heels, spring fever wild.
11:10She threw herself into Adrian's arms. Darling, that moon moth display. I was so jealous. Big sister
11:17always gets the 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 to climb
11:32from servant into your father's bed? I promised. Behave. Keep our secret from Rosalina and you'll have
11:40power and status too. Her family's extinct. Just empty reputation now. But it's only been seven years
11:46since their sacrifice. I have my duty to perform and show some gratitude. The words drove through my
11:52heart like a thousand claws. I remembered that night, Adrian claimed he was handling pack traders
11:57colluding with Whisper Pack. Gone all night. I'd stayed awake terrified, my wolf pacing endlessly.
12:04So this was the trouble he'd been handling. In bed. The real trader was my husband, tangled with my
12:10half-sister. And I, his Luna, was the fool left in darkness. I just envies her, my alpha. Why is
12:18she
12:18born princess while I'm bastard born? Why does her dead family still outrank me? There, there. What can I
12:25do? You're my treasure. Tonight, I have a surprise. Bianca whispered in his ear, then tugged his tie.
12:34Adrian's eyes blackened with desire. His wolf surfaced in his gaze. What are we waiting for?
12:40Tell me. Come upstairs and unwrap your gift yourself. In broad evening light, Adrian swept
12:48her up and strode inside. Bianca's moans drowned in his devouring kiss. The elevator doors closed,
12:55carrying them to the penthouse suite. I stood in the dark, watching them vanish. Seven years as mates,
13:01worthless to him. His gratitude and duty so cheap, though I'd already known, seeing it still carve me
13:08hollow. Tears finally broke free. I remembered our first year. Adrian had sworn by pack honor every
13:16anniversary. He'd stay by my side. Yet Bianca's single message made him abandon that sacred vow.
13:22I breathed deep, forcing down the storm, calming my wolf with pure willpower. Soon the altar escort
13:29would come, I'd escape. I returned to the estate, locking myself into a guest room. My wolf wept.
13:35Perhaps some hours later, I heard Adrian return.
13:39Rosalina? My Luna? Rosalina!
13:42He 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.
13:56Find her! Right now!
13:59Footsteps approached. He searched room by room, his wolf's panic saturating the air. When he opened the
14:06guest room door, I pretended to just wake. Seeing me, his rage vanished.
14:11My goddess Rosalina, you terrified me. You came back without telling me? Do you know my wolf nearly
14:18tore the estate apart?
14:19I couldn't sleep, so changed a room. What's wrong?
14:23Nothing. Just losing you, I was afraid.
14:27He kissed my hair, voice still trembling with residual fear. If you truly cared, you wouldn't
14:33touch other women. Wouldn't touch my half-sister.
14:36I felt unwell. Came back early. Forgot to tell you.
14:41Soaked in his lies long enough, I could manufacture my own ones effortlessly now.
14:46Well, Adrian's face flooded with relief. He lay beside me, locking me against him like
14:51precious treasure.
14:52Don't do that again. Losing you would drive me mad. My wolf would go feral. You know I'd
14:59do anything 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, I prepared
15:12an elegant gift box. Inside, the Munheller royal badge symbolizing my luna status, and
15:18the mate bond severance contract I drafted and signed through the night.
15:21Adrian, your gift for our seventh anniversary.
15:24He took it, eyes bright with delight and about to open it.
15:28No. Wait two days. It will be meaningful then.
15:31He nodded obediently, placing the box carefully in his safe.
15:35I'll love it.
15:36Yes, you would love it then. In two days, I'd vanish completely. And this gift would tell
15:42him everything. I was in search of an unsuspicious excuse to avoid his energetic kiss when the
15:46doorbell rang and saved me from brainstorming. So energetic after his affectionate energy with
15:51another woman. The door opened. Speak of the devil. Here she would come. At the door stood
15:57Bianca, the bastard daughter of my father and the secret mistress of my husband, with her
16:01face streaked with tears, devastatingly fragile. And, in front of my eyes, she faintly fell her
16:07body 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.
16:17Are you deaf to my warning? I warned you again. Never show yourself here. If your sister suspects
16:23anything, you know the consequences. My wolf will tear you apart. Don't forget, you and your
16:29mother are silvermoon parasites. From my view upstairs, I watched everything clearly.
16:34Have you lost your mind? Want to drag all moonhowers down? If the peace council learns we're messing
16:40with Silvermore's last princess, do you know what happens? Adrian moved like enraged beast,
16:46wolf flickering in his eyes as he shoved her. Bianca took out a diagnosis report from the moonbloom
16:51physician. Even from distance, I caught her words. I know I shouldn't come, but I'm pregnant.
16:57What? The physician said last night was too dangerous. I'm nine weeks, high risk now.
17:05Adrian, I didn't want to trouble you, but I'm afraid. This is your first air. Moonhower
17:10bloodline's future. The next alpha. Do you want your moonhower blood to die out completely?
17:16My sister cannot produce the air. You know after the great war's trauma.
17:20Lightning struck me to pieces. My chest hollowed, carved out, bleeding. Bianca,
17:26also carrying Pac Young? I remembered early talks about bloodlines.
17:31During the great clan war seven years ago, your body was weakened. Pregnancy would endanger your life.
17:40I hope for a love between partners that is pure.
17:43I'd believed his devotion, but trying so hard directly only to give him a surprise with my
17:48pregnancy. However, I'd never imagine another pregnancy would also surprise me. Now I understood.
17:54He could casually breed with other women. He'd never mind my incapacably to produce children just
18:00because he didn't mind me that much as he pretended to be. Hearing pregnant, Adrian froze. He stared at
18:06Bianca's belly. Confused. He'd always been careful. How could?
18:11Nine weeks? Critical stage. Must be careful. The pup. Our moonhower air cannot be endangered.
18:19Wait 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,
18:29but he turned slightly away. This is moonhower arranged. Careful besides,
18:33your priority is protecting the pup. Don't alert the peace council. Don't provoke my wolf.
18:40He grinned roguishly, turning toward the villa. I retreated to my room, resuming my seat at the
18:46dressing 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.
19:04Rosalina, I must leave and handle something. The whispers, you know. Possibly targeting our border
19:10territory. I must deal with this personally. Stay at the estate and wait for me. I nodded calmly.
19:16Seeing my normal expression, he relaxed, kissed my forehead, left. His performance remained flawless,
19:22switching between the cheating man and devoted husband Alpha seamlessly.
19:25I watched him disappear, then checked the wall calendar. This might be our final meeting.
19:31That afternoon, the moonbloom leaf blazed unexpectedly. On screen, a tree physician's
19:37diagnosis, a tiny wolf pup curled in a womb. Then another scene, Adrian gently cupping Bianca's
19:42slightly rounded belly, bowing to kiss it with reverence. That tenderness on his face,
19:47I'd never seen it. The alpha cherishing his unborn heir. The sender's left no signatures.
19:52Yet I know it was Bianca. Perhaps carrying the alpha's heir gave my half-sister courage to
19:57challenge 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,
20:28waiting 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.
20:40Adrian 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 moonhogger'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 moonhogger royal guard. Seven years ago, Adrian and I had bonded here.
21:11Through 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.
21:51I disabled transmission entirely. Having accepted the high priestess maximum protection,
21:57I must sever all past completely. The car passed familiar streets, every inch moonhogger territory,
22:02every 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,
22:15ignoring 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 Munhauer 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.
22:55His private leaf rang. Alpha Adrian, bad news. Luna, Luna Rosalina, she's gone. Her scent fading from
23:04the 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.
23:25As 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
23:49suppressed rage. Shh. Stuart says Rosalina's gone. I must find her.
23:55Bianca's heart surged with joy. Her provocation this morning had worked. That high Luna Rosalina
24:01had finally fallen from her throne. Watching Adrian's departing back, she forced down her
24:05smile, feigning concern to nearby warriors. Let's return and wait. But inside, she hoped more
24:11than anyone that Adrian would never find me. Adrian sent transmission after transmission.
24:17Only cold silence answered. The imprint you seek is disabled or temporarily unalable.
24:23Rain soaked his suit. He didn't care. After dozens of failures, he floored the accelerator,
24:29armored SUV bullets streaking through streets. The steward trembled to meet him.
24:33Alpha, why return? Adrian took stairs two at a time, bursting into the master bedroom. Everything
24:40erased. My existence scoured from the world. Empty closet. Empty vanity. Air devoid of my presence.
24:47He charged into my study. Tree texts gone. Desktop leaf gone. Everything gone.
24:54Alpha, we've searched everywhere. Confirmed. Luna's possessions all gone. Including the silver
25:03moon badge. Adrian stood frozen, disbelief drowning his eyes. That badge, her birthright, never abandoned
25:10unless. Alpha, perhaps misunderstanding? Maybe she left for some unhappiness? Just temporary?
25:17Bullshit! 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.
25:29Had something happened? No. Impossible. He'd been careful. Their conversation in the garden? No.
25:37Rosalina upstairs resting. His wolf would have sensed it. Adrian mobilized moon howler influence
25:42across north and south airports, train stations, border checkpoints. Nothing. No bank transactions,
25:48no credit imprints, no scent traces anywhere. Night passed. Nothing. How could she vanish without
25:54warning unless someone shielded her? A thought struck. Could Bianca have? Before finishing,
26:01his lieutenant Leonardo entered. He held a clear bag, shattered moonbloom leaf fragments.
26:07Alpha, we found this outside the pack altar. Luna's leaf. Pack's priest says it might be
26:12recoverable. Adrian took it, hands shaking. Rosalina would never destroy her own things.
26:18Fix this damn thing! Now! I want answers!
26:2120 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,
26:33kissing 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
26:43the child's status. You useless woman who can't bear heirs, get out of Moonhogger estate yourself.
26:48Don't forget, your Silvermoon family's dead. No one supports you.
26:52I learned later, that single provocation made Adrian understand everything.
26:56Bianca's messages had driven me away. His wolf howled in pain and fury. Volcanic rage erupted
27:03from his chest. My only regret, missing what came next. Later, through various pack channels,
27:09I pieced together that bloody night. It's said that Adrian drove like madness to Bianca's hidden
27:14estate. His wolf fully controlled him, eyes red. When Bianca opened the door, joy filled her face,
27:21thinking 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 moon bloom blessed us.
27:32The slap cracked across her face before she finished. Adrian seized her throat. His face black as hell,
27:38killing intent 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
27:59as secret lover. But pregnancy swelled her ambition, who didn't want to be legitimate Moonhogger Luna.
28:05She'd gambled, sent that provocation, knowing I'd leave upon learning truth. Then everything would
28:10be hers. But she never expected Adrian to see those messages. Not stupid enough to confess now,
28:16she shook her head.
28:17Adrian, what are you saying? I don't understand. I only want to be with you. Never competed with
28:23sister for position. Would never send such messages. The moon bloom witnesses my truth.
28:30I don't know what you're talking about. Truth. Truth that you sent her what? Truth that you
28:33arrogantly announced your pregnancy? Without seeing those messages, he might have believed her. Now,
28:39the glaring text repeated in his mind, her lies only deepening the killing intent. He threw the leaf
28:45at her feet. Screen displayed her transmissions. Facing iron evidence, Bianca couldn't deny. Choking back
28:52sobs. She grabbed his arm, desperate. I know I shouldn't. But I couldn't bear our pup growing
28:58up bastard born. Could you watch your bloodline? Royal Moonhauer blood air being gossip around?
29:03My bloodline to be gossiped? No. Bastard. He's worse than bast- I found what's between you and
29:09Norman. My wolf smells lies, Bianca. I warned you, Luna's position belongs to Rosalina always. You
29:15don't deserve it. You and your mother, silver moon parasites clinging to pure bloodlines. I kept you
29:21for novelty. How dare you compare to Rosalina? To the one in my heart? Her family sacrificed
29:27ending wars. Your mother's just a bed-climbing servant. If you'd stayed my little she-wolf,
29:33after birth I'd have provided for you both. But you broke my rules. Don't blame my cruelty.
29:40Adrian pulled a document from his pocket, Tree Bloodline Paternity Test. Seeing the paper,
29:45Bianca went paper white, collapsing, stammering. How? Adrian, I can explain.
29:54Explain how you passed some bastard as my heir. You betrayed me, entangling with my bastard
29:59brother and having this bastard pup. My bloodline? You and your mother? Both cheaters.
30:05No, the pup is yours. The test is wrong. The moon bloom cursed it.
30:09Wrong? I had three different tree physicians. Test. Same result. Know what's most laughical?
30:18He crouched, finger under her chin. I lost the only woman I ever cared about. My mate.
30:25My 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 when the total matters.
30:35Adrian, 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.
30:49She'll never forgive you. The bond is broken. Her family's entrustment. You'll never repay it.
30:55Hearing gone, Adrian's eyes renoned, Wolf fully manifesting.
30:59You lie! Rosalina will return. I'll apologize. She'll forgive me. The bond will heal.
31:07He roared toward the door. Mike, enter!
31:10A scarred middle-aged man entered, his wolf dark and vicious.
31:14Moon Howler's most ruthless enforcer.
31:16Alpha, dispose of her. And the bastard in her belly.
31:21Clean. I want no more news of them, ever. Erase their scent from existence, as if they never existed.
31:29Bianca never imagined such ruthlessness. Her pleas turned increasingly frantic and sharp.
31:35But Adrian never looked at her again. His wolf had already judged her unworthy of attention.
31:41Having disposed of the cheating woman, Adrian threw all energy into finding me.
31:46But whether through Peace Council contacts or activating the collaboration of North and South's
31:50networks, no trace. Even his supernatural council connections found no records.
31:56As if I never existed. The mate bond grew. Faint. Distant.
32:02Impossible!
32:03Adrian's fist smashed the table, shattering it. His wolf howled in defeat.
32:09A living wolf can't vanish! A mate can't evaporate!
32:12Then Adrian remembered Anniversary Night. My question? His vow.
32:19If I betray you, curse me that I never find you through all eternity.
32:24Curse me that my wolf spirit ache for you forever.
32:27Curse me that Moon Bloom abandoned my blood.
32:30Now, his vow became cruel self-fulfillment.
32:34He suddenly remembered the elegant gift box I'd given before leaving.
32:37I told him to open it in two days, the day I vanished.
32:41My sudden disappearance had scattered his wits, he'd forgotten completely.
32:46In desperation, hope flickered.
32:49Perhaps clues to my location inside.
32:51Perhaps just a lesson, waiting somewhere for his repentance.
32:55He carefully retrieved the velvet box, hands trembling, slowly opening.
33:00Inside lay a badge, the Munhauer family badge symbolizing our alliance,
33:04representing my Munhauer Luna status.
33:06Beside it, a mate-bond severance contract.
33:10My signature prominent at the bottom, the Munblum's blessing, retracted.
33:15In that moment, the bond broken, his final fantasy shattered.
33:19He finally understood, this time, I was determined to leave.
33:24Forever.
33:25I'd rejected the bond, ever and forever.
33:28Overwhelming regret drowned him.
33:30He wanted to strike himself.
33:32Why had he touched that accursed woman?
33:34Just because pack gossip claimed he owed Rosalina his secure inheritance.
33:38Making him eager to show masculine dominance.
33:41Chained to one woman, such alpha life seemed suffocating.
33:45At pack gatherings, other alphas teasing, momentary wavering and finally entanglement with that woman.
33:51But he'd never wanted to abandon me.
33:53In his heart, I was always his only queen, only Luna.
33:57He'd never imagined momentary curiosity would destroy seven years of mating, lose his most precious woman, lose his other half.
34:05Munhauer's pack priest, Dante, entered.
34:08Alpha, found a clue.
34:09What clue?
34:10No clue.
34:11Are you provoking your alpha?
34:14Alpha, you found nothing through pack channels.
34:16I searched through moonbloom all to secret arts.
34:18Nothing.
34:19No clue is the only clue.
34:21Following 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, whose blessings wolves depended upon.
34:31Seven years ago, juvenile wolf transformation sickness had sparked the wars as packs fought for tree power to sustain their
34:37bloodlines.
34:38Yet no pack could violate tree territory, regardless of the great wars.
34:42This was why the silver moon earned respect, dying to summon tree power and end the war.
34:47But for Rosalina, even challenging the moonbloom itself, even sacrificing everything, he would pay any price.
34:54Meanwhile, at the highest sacred altar of the moonbloom tree, I worked relentlessly.
35:00After marrying Adrian, I'd been away from tree maintenance for years, skills grown rusty.
35:05Unwilling to disappoint the high priestess, I stayed and served beneath the tree constantly.
35:10Intensive maintenance consumed all time, leaving no energy for thoughts of that world full of betrayals and lies.
35:18I, together with my fellow priestesses dedicated to the tree completely, we worked toward keeping the moonbloom vibrant.
35:25Blessing juvenile wolf's transformations, only pious cooperation, no betrayal or deception.
35:31No dominant struggles for pack hierarchy.
35:34Unconsciously, the year's greatest full moon eve arrived.
35:37Our first maintenance phase finally broke through, the moonbloom radiated unprecedented light.
35:42Everyone rejoiced.
35:44As we prepared celebration, the high priestess voice came through the leaf, summoning all core priests to the council chamber
35:51to meet an important new patron.
35:53Wearing my daily priestess robe, I entered the chamber.
35:56Never imagined, the face in the center was the one I most wished never to see again.
36:01Adrien Munhauer, the maid I'd loved, destined partner, then the betrayer, now the wolf king I wanted erased from memory.
36:08The high priestess seated Adrien prominently, introducing this generous patron to everyone.
36:14Only then did I learn, this alpha had donated nearly all Munhauer pack's lunar sacred artifacts and invested almost his
36:20everything in our tree maintenance project,
36:22solely to gain the altar's access.
36:24Solely to find me.
36:26I forced composure, face blank, staring at the screen.
36:30My long silent wolf stirred uneasily.
36:33Mr. Moonhopper has made the largest single donation in our maintenance project's history.
36:39May the tree bless his generality.
36:41The chamber erupted in applause, cheering for this massive resource injection.
36:46His patronage will accelerate the moonbloom's radiance restoration.
36:50Everyone, please attend tonight's welcome banquet.
36:53That evening, I had no choice, I attended.
36:57I wore simple white priestess robes, ordinary daily attire for tree service.
37:02Adrien stood at the banquet center, wearing tailored royal robes.
37:06Thinner, hollow-eyed, but those emerald eyes remained sharp as ever.
37:10His wolf radiated unmistakable despair.
37:13Throughout the banquet, I completely ignored his existence, focusing on maintenance discussions with those around me.
37:19Yet I clearly felt that heavy, burning gaze following me constantly.
37:24I sensed the shadow of our dead bond, trying to reconnect.
37:28After the banquet, I hurried toward the dormitory area, only to be blocked at the corridor corner.
37:34Adrien stood before me, two cautious moonbloom guards behind.
37:38I'd known this moment would come.
37:40I turned, facing those eyes I'd once loved, now loathed, voice ice cold.
37:45What are you doing here?
37:47Rosalina, I finally found you.
37:49Do you know what I sacrificed to find you?
37:51I liquidated Moon Howler assets.
37:54Searched every pack for lunar sacred artifacts, just to step into this place and find you.
37:59My wolf is dying without you.
38:01The moonbloom no longer answers my prayers.
38:04When you left, why didn't you tell me?
38:07I searched like mad, mobilized all networks across the north and south.
38:11I'm rattles, every pack contact.
38:13I'm no longer Rosalina Moon Howler, nor your Luna.
38:16You have no reason to find me.
38:18The mate bond is severed.
38:20You have Moon Howlers to lead.
38:22Find a new Luna.
38:23One who can bear your heirs.
38:25One who won't remind you of Silver Moon's duty debts.
38:28I know I was wrong.
38:29I shouldn't have touched that cheater.
38:32Bianca and the pup.
38:33I've disposed of them, they're gone.
38:35Come home, Rosalina, where you belong.
38:38My wolf needs you, Moon Howlers needs you.
38:41Your family's entrustness I haven't repaid.
38:43Hearing him casually say disposed of my half-sister, ice filled me.
38:47This man's coldness exceeded imagination.
38:50This was the alpha I'd loved.
38:52I even began doubting, seven years married, had I ever truly known him?
38:57Adrian, from the moment you started cheating, we ended.
39:01The Moon Bloom witnessed your betrayal.
39:04I don't know how you found me, but I erased my identity, evaporated from the world.
39:11Isn't that clear enough?
39:12I want nothing more to do with your world.
39:15With Moon Howler's world.
39:17My family's sacrifice shouldn't be your betrayal's bargaining chip.
39:21I responded coldly, turning to leave.
39:24Adrian stood frozen, voice carrying humility I'd never heard, and alpha begging.
39:30But I know I was wrong.
39:31Just that once, I swear by wolf spirit.
39:35Forgive me, I swear.
39:37Besides you, no other she-wolf will share my den.
39:39No other she-wolf will share my territory.
39:42I'll spend my life repaying Silver Moon's entrustness.
39:45Infidelity isn't mistake, it's choice.
39:47And I never tolerate betrayal.
39:49Not once.
39:50In my eyes, you're already dead.
39:53Besides, blood debt now divides us.
39:56However unworthy Biannica was, she was my half-sister.
40:00You killed her.
40:01I'll never forgive the murderer.
40:03My wolf will never accept you again.
40:05Your debt to my family ends here.
40:08The pup wasn't mine, Rosalita.
40:11Tree paternity test proved it.
40:13I don't want to hear.
40:14It doesn't matter anymore.
40:16Just then, the two altar guards approached.
40:19Sir, this is core maintenance area.
40:21You must leave immediately.
40:23I exhaled relief, turning toward my room.
40:26My wolf fell silent again.
40:28Just as I was closing my door, a heart-rending cry came from behind, half-human, half-wolf howl.
40:35Rosalina!
40:36If I hadn't touched her, if I'd stopped everything in time, would you have stayed?
40:41Given me another chance?
40:43My steps paused.
40:45I didn't turn back.
40:47Didn't answer.
40:48I closed the door, shutting out that world of betrayal and lies completely.
40:52After all, in this world, there are no ifs.
40:56Only choices and consequences.
40:58And I had already found my own path.
41:01Without him.
41:02Without Munhauhlers.
41:04Without Wolf Bonds.
41:06That night, I fell asleep smiling, on the right track I was meant to go for to be priestess
41:11of the moon bloom, true inheritor of Silvermoon shouldering my identity as the last moon goddess
41:16descendant.
41:16And I had already found my own path.
