00:26What is the great war between humans and beasts?
00:30Thanks to that, she attained immense power. My younger sister, who chose to marry into the fox clan because
00:35Vanity, dazzled by his beauty, did not have the same luck. The heir to the fox clan, a womanizer of
00:41With a bad reputation, she ended up contracting an illness and losing the ability to have children. My sister, filled with jealousy and resentment,
00:47It caused a fire that burned me and my little son, White Wolf, alive. When I reopened
00:51The eyes, it was the very day of the mating ceremony between humans and beasts.
00:55This time, my sister beat me to it; she got into bed with Javier, the heir to the clan of the
01:00wolves, before me. At that moment I knew that she too had been reborn. But what I didn't know was that
01:05Javier's nature was cruel and violent. He worshipped bloodshed, not love. And he was very
01:11far from being a worthy couple.
01:12Clara, Javier, and I truly love each other. Can't you just let us be together? We've already shared a bed.
01:21I'm not marrying him, so how could I ever marry anyone else?
01:24Stunned, I heard my sister Isabela screaming and crying. My father was nearby, speaking to defend her.
01:31Clara, perhaps you could choose another fiancé. Isabela only made a mistake because of a bad moment.
01:36He had always been partial to Isabela. After all, she was the legitimate daughter of his official wife.
01:43Whereas I was just the illegitimate daughter of one of his affairs.
01:47I looked at Isabela, who was kneeling on the ground. Although her face was streaked with tears and filled with sorrow
01:53While pitiful, the ambition and excitement in her eyes were unmistakable.
01:57I knew it then, she too had been reborn. And this time, she had reached Javier's bed before I had.
02:03In my past life I had chosen Javier, the eldest son of the Lobo clan, as my fiancé.
02:08He viewed the Snake clan as cold-blooded and emotionless, and the Fox clan as frivolous and disloyal.
02:14to the Dragon clan as proud and arrogant.
02:16Only the Wolf clan, known for their loyalty and devotion, seemed trustworthy.
02:21Six months after marrying Javier, I became pregnant with our son.
02:25And then, I gave birth to a half-beast White Wolf, our son Cristian.
02:29As the first half-beast child, born of the human-beast union, Christian became the next leader of the
02:35human-beast alliance.
02:36Isabela, dazzled by the beauty of the fox clan, had chosen her heir, Luis.
02:42But I didn't expect him to be a shameless womanizer, always entangled with other lovers.
02:46In the end, because of him, she contracted a disease that left her sterile and despised by the clan of the
02:51foxes.
02:52She blamed me for her misfortune, jealous that I had lived better than she did.
02:56One night, he secretly drugged me and started a fire that burned Cristian and me alive.
03:02Remembering that filled my chest with hatred.
03:05He wanted nothing more than to kill Isabela right there.
03:08At that moment, and avenge Cristian.
03:11I clenched my fists inside my sleeves.
03:13The pain in my palms made me react a little.
03:17Then I nodded slowly, hiding my fury under an understanding expression.
03:21If Isabela and Javier truly love each other, I would never stand in the way of their happiness.
03:25Isabela didn't expect me to accept so easily.
03:28The tears she had forced herself to shed now hung uncomfortably at the corners of her eyes.
03:33Isabela, get up now.
03:35Hurry up and thank Clara for stepping aside.
03:38Dad insisted, clearly relieved.
03:40Thank you, Clara.
03:41Isabela smiled brightly as she ran off, eager to bring the good news to Javier and the Yogo clan.
03:47Real daughters grow up and leave home too quickly.
03:51Dad joked.
03:52But when he turned and saw the cold indifference on my face, his voice faltered.
03:57Clara, among the unmarried heirs of the beast clans, only two remain: Damian, from the snake clan, and Luis.
04:03of the fox clan.
04:04I still think the fox clan would be a better option; they're more handsome, have higher status, and
04:09They are clearly above the snake clan.
04:12Furthermore, Isabela once said.
04:15I interrupted him.
04:16Dad, I choose to marry Damian, from the snake clan.
04:20For most humans, snakes were cold-blooded and heartless creatures, and that prejudice persisted.
04:25It fell upon the beastmen of the snake clan.
04:28For thousands of years, no human had ever chosen to marry someone from the snake clan.
04:33That is why they had never given a single ruler to the alliance between humans and beasts.
04:37Over time, they were expelled from the ranks of the five great beast families and fell to the lowest level
04:42of the beast clans, without even the slightest right.
04:45Part of the resources.
04:47But in my past life, as the fire consumed me, I saw a pair of ruby-red eyes, the eyes of
04:51Damian.
04:53He tried to save me, but the flames were too fierce and he couldn't do anything.
04:57Although Dad didn't agree with my decision, when he saw the determination on my face, he didn't insist anymore.
05:03He just sighed and tried to comfort me.
05:06If your life in the snake clan gets tough, maybe Isabela can lend you a hand.
05:10But when Isabela found out that I had chosen to marry into the snake clan, she couldn't resist.
05:16to make fun of me to my face.
05:17Clara, although you couldn't marry Javier, there was no need for you to stoop so low as to join that decadent clan
05:23of the snakes.
05:24Don't starve to death before you even manage to have a child.
05:28I heard that these days they barely have enough to fill their bellies.
05:32The wolf clan is incredibly rich.
05:34Even the water they bathe in is infused with precious, divine herbs.
05:39If your life becomes too miserable, I can set aside some leftovers and send them to you.
05:44She covered her mouth and burst into laughter, ignoring the uncomfortable looks from the servants around us.
05:49In Isabela's eyes, the wolf clan had immense resources, and Javier's devotion would guarantee them.
05:55get pregnant soon.
05:56I was convinced that I would lose my chance to give birth to the first hybrid child of human and beast.
06:01But I had no idea how difficult it was for humans and beastmen.
06:04To conceive a child.
06:05I also didn't know how obsessed Javier was with having an heir.
06:09Since I showed no signs of pregnancy after six months, he began to take out his frustration on me, tormenting me day and day.
06:16evening.
06:16Only after I used a secret technique to conceive and gave birth to Cristian, securing the clan's future
06:21Javier finally gave in to the wolves' power.
06:24I gave Isabela a serene smile.
06:26You don't have to worry about me, dear sister.
06:29Since I chose my husband, I will live with my decision without regret.
06:34And what are you so proud of?
06:36You're going to marry some random starving guy.
06:39Furious at my calmness, Isabela slammed her fist on the table, throwing the pastries all over the floor.
06:43I will be the first to get pregnant. My son will undoubtedly be the next ruler of the alliance.
06:49I ignored her tantrum and went to prepare for my wedding in three days.
06:53In one thing, he was right, the snake clan was indeed very poor.
06:57I was worried that they didn't even have enough money for a decent dress, so I planned to make one myself.
07:03To my surprise, that same night, Damian came in person to deliver my wedding dress.
07:08It was the first time I had truly seen her face. Her skin was pale, almost bloodless.
07:14Her long, narrow eyes exuded a serene authority, and the emerald green of her irises held a mysterious depth.
07:21However, the teardrop-shaped mole at the corner of her eye lent a subtle elegance to her expression,
07:26Otherwise, austere.
07:27Inside the box was a floor-length dress made of dark green tulle.
07:31The corset shimmered faintly with snake scales sewn into the fabric.
07:36I had never seen such a beautiful dress. For a moment, I was completely captivated.
07:41Clara, said Damian calmly.
07:43This dress was hand-sewn by the finest seamstresses in our snake clan.
07:47Each scale is a blessing offered by our people.
07:50His gaze carried a deliberate distance, as if the person who was going to marry me was not him at all.
07:55This is the first time our snake clan has married a human.
07:59If there's anything that wasn't done right, you can tell me with confidence.
08:02"Thank you," I replied.
08:03I really love it.
08:05Just as I was about to put the dress away, Isabela strolled in, arm in arm with Javier, looking proud and radiant.
08:11Clara, don't tell me this is the only dress they gave you. Javier had ten dresses made for me.
08:17Ten.
08:17Javier looked down at Isabela with tenderness in his eyes.
08:21Isabela only knew of the famous loyalty of the wolf clan, but she didn't understand that it came from her biological instinct.
08:26and his intense obsession with offspring.
08:28Even if she didn't get pregnant, Javier would continue to treat her with such tenderness.
08:32Damian gripped his snake cane a little tighter before looking up to meet mine.
08:37If the snake clan has wronged you in any way, Clara, I can promise you this.
08:42I, Damian, will never betray you in this life.
08:44Isabela let out a snort.
08:46Anyone can talk nicely. Let's see if they can actually have a child.
08:50Now, everything he said revolved around children.
08:54Her infertility in a past life had become a thorn in her heart, and now she was obsessed with
09:00to get pregnant.
09:01Even before marrying Javier, she had already moved into his house.
09:04In that sense, she and Javier were a perfect match.
09:07Your own wedding. People might start thinking you had your eye on my fiancé.
09:11I barely smiled, and under the long faces of Isabela and Javier, I took Damian's hand and left.
09:17Behind me, I could still hear Isabela's high-pitched voice, close to Javier.
09:22Her words were faint, but unmistakable: pregnancy, child, next ruler.
09:27Oh, my silly sister. Even after having a second chance,
09:31He still believed that a son was his only path to power.
09:35Damian's fresh voice sounded next to my ear.
09:38Clara, I know you chose me because you had no other option.
09:40But I promise you that, to the best of my ability, I will never let you suffer.
09:44I turned around instinctively when I heard his voice and, without meaning to, I tripped over his chest.
09:48A strange, but pleasant, aroma wafted into my nose.
09:52I looked up and said slowly, emphasizing each word.
09:55Damian, I chose you of my own free will.
09:58A flash of something indecipherable crossed Damian's eyes.
10:01Okay, Clara.
10:03Three days later, the wedding took place as planned.
10:07Both ceremonies were held in the same grand hall.
10:10The Wolf Clan wedding was even more lavish than in my past life.
10:14They even went so far as to invite the elusive Phoenix Clan to perform, and all the
10:18Great noble houses attended en masse.
10:20Meanwhile, the Snake Clan's celebration was more low-key, with no guests.
10:24distinguished.
10:25But the Clan members smiled with genuine joy.
10:28After all, it was his first marriage to a human, a sign that perhaps at last
10:32They would have a chance to father the next ruler of the Alliance.
10:36After the ceremony, I ran into Isabela face to face.
10:39By the way, she lifted her chin to make sure he could see the marks on her neck.
10:44Clara, I didn't know werewolves had so much stamina.
10:48At this rate, I'll give them an heir very soon.
10:51I smiled politely.
10:53So I sincerely wish you the best of luck.
10:56Isabela was underestimating how difficult a pregnancy between humans and beastmen was.
11:01Our species were fundamentally different.
11:04Even under the best conditions, conceiving naturally took at least a year.
11:08She assumed that in a past life I got pregnant easily, and that's why she believed that
11:12It would be just as easy for her too.
11:14She even boasted to the Wolf Clan that she would get pregnant in less than six months.
11:18The news spread quickly.
11:20Seeing her so confident, Javier didn't even question it.
11:24But to Isabela, my calmness seemed like a personal provocation.
11:27Forget it.
11:28As if you were going to understand anyway, you married a nest of starving people.
11:33She gave the members of the Snake Clan a disdainful look and lifted her skirt
11:37and he walked past me.
11:38I grabbed her arm, stopping her.
11:41Isabela, apologize.
11:43Apologize to the Snake Clan.
11:45His expression darkened.
11:47She pulled away suddenly and screamed.
11:49Clara, have you lost your mind?
11:51The remaining guests in the room stopped to watch our discussion, anxiously.
11:55for the show.
11:57In the end, Dad had to intervene.
11:59When she understood what had happened, she forced Isabela to apologize to the Clan of the
12:03Snakes.
12:04Although the Snake Clan occupied the lowest rank among the beastmen, they still
12:08They would unite in the face of human humiliation.
12:10Before leaving, Isabela gave me a spiteful look and muttered under her breath.
12:15Clara, I'm going to win in this life.
12:17Just wait.
12:18On our wedding night, I stood motionless, staring at Damian's naked body.
12:22Nobody had ever told me that snakes had two.
12:26When he saw me lying motionless on the bed, Damian misinterpreted it.
12:29With a pale face, she bent down to pick up her clothes and began to get dressed.
12:33What are you doing?
12:34I snatched the cloth from his hands, with discontent written all over my face.
12:38I, I thought you didn't want to.
12:41Babbling.
12:41He stood uncomfortably beside the bed, as the redness in his eyes slowly faded.
12:46little by little.
12:46If he wasn't going to make the first move, then I would.
12:50I took a step forward and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him towards me.
12:54bed, when our bodies touched, that subtle and familiar scent enveloped me again
12:58time.
12:58Damian, you smell great.
13:00I murmured without thinking.
13:02He remained motionless for a moment, and then the tips of his ears were barely stained
13:06in pink.
13:07The next moment, his kiss deepened, descending slightly from my forehead
13:12little by little.
13:12With our fingers intertwined, we spent a passionate and unforgettable night.
13:16I had previously believed that the strength of the wolf clan made them the best
13:20option, but the snake clan also had its own charms.
13:24Damian didn't stop until dawn lit up the sky and I almost managed to get him to rest.
13:29Three months later, the news spread: Isabela was pregnant.
13:33I was stunned.
13:35In thousands of years, no human had conceived with a beastman in just three
13:39months.
13:40Had I not seen her swollen belly with my own eyes, I would not have believed it.
13:44The wolf clan organized a grand celebration for their unborn son, inviting
13:48to all noble families to share their joy.
13:51Our ancestors must be watching over us.
13:54A child in just three months.
13:56What a miracle!
13:57Javier raised his glass high, pride written all over his face.
14:01Many guests approached to flatter him, eager to win the favor of the clan of the
14:06wolves.
14:06Everyone agreed, the next ruler of the alliance would undoubtedly come from the clan of the
14:11wolves.
14:12It was the perfect moment to ingratiate themselves.
14:14Based on status, I should have been seated with Damian at the back of the banquet hall.
14:19But Isabela insisted that Javier put me next to her.
14:22I couldn't pass up the opportunity to show off.
14:25As she stroked her belly, she gave me a satisfied look.
14:29Clara, it's been three months and there's still no news about your belly.
14:33It seems you really have a long way to go.
14:35The half-human, half-beast hybrids matured quickly.
14:38Two months was enough for them to be born.
14:40Judging by the size of her belly, her son would arrive next month.
14:43But she had no idea how big the half-beast babies were.
14:48Without controlling her diet, she was going to suffer a lot during childbirth.
14:51In my past life, I carefully controlled my weight, and yet the delivery lasted a day
14:56and a whole night, and the pain almost made me want to die.
14:59But the moment I gave birth to my son, safe and sound, sleeping peacefully in my arms,
15:03I knew he had no regrets.
15:05I took a sip of the wine and said coldly.
15:08Historically, the fastest conception between a human and a beastman took a whole year.
15:12But it only took you three months.
15:14What methods did you use?
15:16Only you know.
15:17Isabela suddenly turned her head towards me, her eyes darting about in guilty panic.
15:21Clara, what are you implying?
15:23He couldn't even withstand the slightest test.
15:26Isabela still couldn't maintain her composure.
15:29Have a safe delivery, Isabela.
15:31I raised my glass to toast her, and then I left the banquet with Damian.
15:35A month later, Isabela endured three whole days and three nights of labor before finally giving birth.
15:40But seven days passed and the wolf clan still had not announced the arrival of the child.
15:45Even when Dad tried to visit them.
15:47They denied him entry.
15:49There was no doubt, something was wrong with the baby.
15:52Half a month later, Dad called me at home.
15:55Seeing the worry in Damian's eyes before I left, I finally asked and begged him
15:59that she would come with me.
16:00In the living room, Isabela was sitting on the floor, crying, clutching a red wolf mix puppy in her arms.
16:06This is Javier's son.
16:08Isn't a color mutation in a wolf's fur something normal?
16:12Isabela was getting closer to the idea that the red-furred puppy belonged to Javier.
16:16But what she didn't know was that Javier was a pureblood white wolf.
16:20In their lineage, there had never been an end to the red wolves.
16:23Javier's expression was gloomy.
16:26His whole body radiated fury.
16:27Isabela, whose bastard is this? Who did you sleep with behind my back?
16:33If you don't tell me the truth right now, I will kill this bastard child myself.
16:37Our dad, pale with fright, rushed to intervene.
16:41Javier, calm down. This must be some kind of misunderstanding.
16:45Isabela loves you very much. How could she betray you?
16:49Encouraged by her father's support, Isabela immediately brought the child closer to Javier, her voice soft and flattering.
16:54Look, she looks so much like you. Even her eyes are the same.
16:58Javier coldly took the red puppy from his arms.
17:01The little wolf cub, who had been sleeping soundly, let out a loud and terrified cry as soon as he saw the face
17:08Javier's.
17:09That heart-wrenching cry pierced me like a knife, bringing back the memory of Cristian screaming amidst the flames in
17:14my past life.
17:16The pain gripped my chest, and I could barely breathe.
17:19I frowned deeply.
17:22Damian noticed my discomfort and gently covered my ears, mistaking my distress for a rejection of a child's crying.
17:27child.
17:27Disgusting mestizo.
17:29Javier cursed, raising the red puppy above his head.
17:33Then, suddenly, he threw it to the ground with all his might.
17:37Damian and I jumped at the same time.
17:39Finally, the little red puppy fell safely into Damian's arms.
17:43As much as I wanted to destroy Isabela and Javier, the puppy was innocent.
17:48Everyone in the room was stunned.
17:51Especially Isabela.
17:53Her face turned as white as paper and she trembled uncontrollably.
17:56Javier, how can you be so cruel?
17:58Javier looked at her without any of the tenderness he had previously shown.
18:01Isabela, the wolf clan values loyalty and devotion to our partners.
18:07You betrayed me.
18:08By what right do you accuse me of being cruel?
18:11If Javier had any redeeming quality, it was his unwavering loyalty.
18:15In my past life, even after I failed to get pregnant for six months,
18:19He never thought about taking another partner.
18:21He was just tormenting me to vent his frustration.
18:24Now I wondered if Isabela would be able to endure that same devotion.
18:28The argument between them broke out in the room.
18:31Isabela insisted that she had never been unfaithful,
18:33while Javier refused to acknowledge the red puppy as his own.
18:37Our dad, completely bewildered, turned to me.
18:40Clara, what do you think?
18:42And what was I supposed to think?
18:43That puppy wasn't even mine.
18:46I had only come to see the show.
18:48I had no intention of getting involved.
18:51Damian intervened calmly.
18:52I've heard that the Phoenix clan possesses a lineage recognition technique.
18:56Since wolves and phoenixes have always been closely related,
18:59Why not invite them to verify the child's family ties?
19:02Isabela rejected the idea immediately.
19:04No.
19:05This is my son and Javier's.
19:07We don't need the Phoenix clan to confirm anything.
19:10But Javier nodded coldly.
19:12We'll do what he says.
19:13The news of the Phoenix clan's intervention spread like wildfire.
19:17People were already curious about the newborn half-breed of the wolf clan.
19:21And three days later, crowds flocked to the wolf clan's territory to witness the ritual.
19:26Under the Phoenix's spell, five crimson marks flew out from the red puppy's forehead.
19:31A mark fell on Javier's hand,
19:33and the other four shot off towards different residences within the territory of the wolf clan.
19:38You, one of the child's parents.
19:40Father Phoenix solemnly declared.
19:43A murmur of astonishment swept through the room.
19:46What do you mean, one of the parents?
19:47So this puppy has several parents,
19:50But that pup clearly has red wolf blood.
19:53Javier is a pureblood white wolf.
19:55Isabela certainly knows how to have fun.
19:57With that personality, she should have married into the fox clan.
20:01I was in the crowd next to Damian, sheltered in his arms.
20:05Hearing the murmurs around us, I almost burst out laughing.
20:09I had always wondered how Isabela had managed to get pregnant.
20:13Now that it came to light that the puppy had several parents, everything made sense.
20:17It is most likely that Isabela had sought out several lovers within the wolf clan.
20:21to increase their chances of conceiving.
20:23A desperate attempt to get pregnant.
20:26But he hadn't counted on there being a red wolf with particularly dominant genes,
20:29unwittingly revealing their plan.
20:32Was she cunning or simply reckless?
20:34If he wanted to take such a risk, why not limit himself to white wolves?
20:37Why also throw a red wolf into the mix?
20:40Javier's expression was black with fury.
20:43He clenched his fists tightly and shouted at the servants.
20:46Bring me all the wolves of the clan who bear that same crimson mark.
20:50Very soon, they brought in four beastly werewolves.
20:53Three of them were white wolves, and one was a red wolf.
20:57When I saw the face of the red wolf, even I couldn't help but sigh.
21:01That seductive beauty could rival any member of the fox clan.
21:05Isabela had always been obsessed with appearance.
21:09No wonder she risked everything to spend a night with him.
21:11Javier stared at the four beast-men.
21:14None of them denied their involvement, and he completely lost patience.
21:18You stood in front of me and swore you'd give me a child, and this is how you repay me?
21:22Isabela stood up, still clutching the baby.
21:26She wiped her eyes and sobbed dramatically.
21:28If you hadn't spent every day whispering to me how much you wanted a child,
21:33I wouldn't have had to resort to such desperate measures.
21:36If you weren't so useless, would this child look like a red wolf?
21:41His voice became increasingly righteous.
21:43And besides, the Phoenix hasn't just said that the child is yours.
21:47Isn't that enough for you?
21:48The next ruler of the alliance will still come from the wolf clan.
21:52Why are you blaming me?
21:54You should be grateful.
21:55At his words, the chiefs of the fox and dragon clans stepped forward among the
22:00crew.
22:01The leaders of the fox and dragon clans immediately intervened to reject Isabela's stance.
22:06We do not recognize this mixed-race person.
22:08The original agreement clearly stated that the child should be born from the union between a human woman and the eldest son.
22:14from a family of a beast clan.
22:15If the wolves start bending the rules like this, what will happen to the purity of the bloodline?
22:20Who knows what kind of monsters Hanfos would end up raising?
22:24This matter requires the unanimous consent of the four remaining clans.
22:28As far as the fox and dragon clans are concerned, we are firmly opposed.
22:32The Phoenix clan, which had been silently standing to one side, also expressed its position.
22:37Our clan withdrew from world affairs long ago.
22:40We are not going to participate in these political decisions.
22:43Four clans.
22:44One abstained.
22:46Two objected.
22:48As for the humble clan of snakes, it didn't even occur to anyone to ask their opinion.
22:53The little hope that Javier had felt upon hearing Isabela's words vanished instantly.
22:58Fury consumed him once more.
22:59Isabela, look what you've done.
23:01But you have dishonored the entire wolf clan.
23:04On his way home after that show, Damian remained unusually quiet.
23:09Only after I insisted again and again did he finally say what he was thinking.
23:13You were looking at that red wolf a while ago.
23:15Were you thinking I wasn't handsome enough?
23:17His jealous tone made me smile.
23:19And that's exactly how I decided to tease him a little.
23:22For me, there's no one more handsome than you, Damian.
23:25Especially at night.
23:27After that, I didn't get out of bed for a whole day.
23:30A month later, Isabela appeared at the snake clan, beaten and covered in bruises, begging for my help.
23:37Her eyes were red from crying so much.
23:39Clara, please help me.
23:41Javier went crazy.
23:43He says that if I can't give him a child that is truly his, he will torture me every single day.
23:49the days.
23:49I can't stand it anymore.
23:51If I don't get pregnant soon, I'm going to die.
23:54Do you know any secret techniques that could help me?
23:56His words didn't surprise me in the slightest.
23:59After all, I had already lived through that nightmare in my past life.
24:03Bruises covered the exposed skin, with recent wounds on top of old scars.
24:08But she had brought all of this on herself.
24:11In my past life, he tricked me into coming home, pretending that he missed me.
24:16Then he drugged the water that my son and I drank.
24:19When we were too weak to resist, he set fire to the house and trapped us inside.
24:24I still remember the way he looked at me before he left, his eyes blazing with hatred, as he screamed...
24:30Clara, that life of yours had to be mine.
24:32I was the one who was supposed to marry into the wolf clan.
24:35I was the one who was supposed to give birth to his heir.
24:37Now that she had my life all to herself, what did she have left to regret?
24:42I gently withdrew my hand from hers and answered calmly.
24:45Isabela, it's not that I don't want to help you.
24:48It's just that pregnancies between humans and beasts are extremely rare.
24:52After giving birth, your body was damaged.
24:55It will take you at least 3 to 5 years before you can even try again.
24:59Isabela stood up abruptly, her eyes blazing with fury.
25:03You're lying.
25:05You simply don't want to help me.
25:06You can't stand to see me happy.
25:08I don't need your help.
25:10I'll find another way.
25:12Do you think you can beat me?
25:13You will never give birth before me.
25:15She burst through the door and stormed out.
25:18I could only shake my head in denial.
25:20Everything I said was true.
25:22Pregnancies between species simply could not be forced.
25:25In my past life, the only reason I got it was because of mermaid blood.
25:30And it ran through my veins.
25:32Back then, when war broke out, the mermaid people refused to ally with the humans and withdrew.
25:37into the depths of the ocean, cutting all ties with the outside world.
25:40My mother, still young and reckless at that time, had transformed into human form and ventured ashore
25:46firm.
25:47She fell in love with my father at first sight.
25:50To keep him, she cut off her tail and transformed herself into a human forever.
25:54It cost him dearly.
25:56He only had five years left to live.
25:58Before she died, she gave birth to me and sealed my bestial nature.
26:02Mermaid people are fertile by nature.
26:05In my past life, I broke the seal of my bestial blood to give Javier a son.
26:10It was a slow form of suicide.
26:12Although I eventually conceived, my mermaid essence faded day by day, until my life was
26:17extinguished.
26:18This time, I would never sacrifice myself in such a foolish way again.
26:23I thought I had already accepted the idea of not getting pregnant in this life, until something unexpected happened.
26:28Two months later, one night, Damian put a hand on my tooth and suddenly froze.
26:33Clara asked, "When was the last time you had your period?"
26:36I stopped to think about it carefully.
26:39Indeed, almost two months had passed.
26:42My tooth had barely rounded off, so I assumed I had just gained some weight.
26:47I looked at him, stunned, it can't be.
26:50Oh yes.
26:51Before he had even finished speaking, Damian jumped out of bed, got dressed, and ran out the door.
26:56to find the doctor.
26:58Less than fifteen minutes later, the doctor arrived in our room.
27:01He placed his fingers on my wrist and began taking my pulse, frowning as he alternated between shaking his head and nodding.
27:07nod your head.
27:08The room was suffocatingly silent.
27:11Damian was sitting next to me, his face etched with worry.
27:15Finally, the doctor stood up and offered us a congratulatory bow.
27:21Congratulations, Damian.
27:23Damian. Clara is two months pregnant, so judging by the signs, she should be ready to lay her egg in just a few.
27:28days.
27:29I had remained calm until that last part.
27:32Wait, what? Lay an egg?
27:34Bárpade.
27:35Weren't we talking about having a baby?
27:37Damian chuckled and gently stroked my head, explaining.
27:41The snake clan is a little different from the others.
27:44We lay eggs, and then our young hatch.
27:47From the moment we confirmed the pregnancy, Damian didn't let me move a finger.
27:52He was following me around all day, trying to give me tonics and supplements.
27:56She even bought three immortal honey fruits, legendary treasures, the most coveted food for expectant mothers.
28:02In my past life, Javier had only let me eat half a fruit.
28:06How could the impoverished snake clan afford three whole ones?
28:10How did you pay for this?
28:11I thought the snake clan was supposed to be.
28:14Before I finished, Damian sat down next to me and brought a freshly washed fruit to my lips.
28:19Clara, who told you that the snake clan is poor?
28:22Take a good look at our house.
28:24From the floor to the vases, everything here is expensive.
28:27I looked around me carefully for the first time.
28:30The decor, although simple and clean, was clearly high-end.
28:34But isn't the snake clan last among the great families?
28:38Don't they say that you only receive a portion of the resources?
28:41Damian let out a soft laugh.
28:43We snakes have always kept a low profile.
28:47We earn our wealth by doing business, unlike others who depend on power and politics.
28:52If we were to rank the clans by wealth, we would surely come in first place.
28:57Our people pursue immortality.
28:59Most of our wealth is dedicated to the cultivation and refinement of spiritual medicine.
29:04The resources of this world are limited.
29:07We are not interested in fighting with other clans over scraps.
29:10Our ambition goes far beyond that.
29:12His explanation made everything fall into place.
29:14No wonder every member of the clan I had met had an ethereal aura.
29:18They were secretly training to rise in the ranks.
29:21Now that I knew we had enough money, I immediately dragged Damian along to go shopping.
29:26Halfway down the street, we ran into Isabela.
29:29Her wind was already noticeably quite bulky as she hung on Javier's arm, choosing accessories.
29:35Since her second pregnancy, it seemed Javier had already forgiven her for her past betrayal.
29:40The two had gone back to acting like a couple in love.
29:43Now that Javier was watching her like a hawk, there was no doubt that the child was indeed his.
29:48Clara, what a surprise to see you here.
29:50Isabela said.
29:51Incidentally, she placed both hands on her belly to show off her pregnancy.
29:56I smiled politely.
29:57I'm choosing a gift for Dad's upcoming birthday celebration.
30:01His gaze dropped to our empty hands, and he gave a sneer of contempt.
30:05Well, try to make it something decent.
30:07Even if you don't have much money, you shouldn't make Dad look bad.
30:11The snake clan hadn't made my pregnancy public, and Damian was worried that his words might
30:16upset.
30:17He immediately stepped forward, shielding me behind him.
30:21Isabela, our family's affairs are none of your business.
30:24As for Dad's gift, we will prepare it with care and respect.
30:27Isabela let out a cold snort, shook out her sleeves, and left.
30:31Seven days later, at the birthday banquet, Isabela and I were sitting on either side of Dad.
30:37Her belly was enormous; she was clearly carrying more than one child.
30:40Mine, on the other hand, was barely even slightly rounded.
30:44You always knew how to get pregnant and yet you hid it from me, you hid it.
30:49But it doesn't matter, I beat you to it.
30:51Now you will never be able to reach me.
30:53I opened my mouth to ask him what he meant, but a sharp, sudden pain twisted my abdomen.
30:59It was the beginning of labor.
31:01Damian noticed it right away.
31:02He jumped to his feet, picked me up in his arms, and ran towards the door.
31:06Just as we were leaving, Isabela suddenly started clutching her stomach and moaning in pain.
31:11Someone in the crowd shouted.
31:13Isabela is also going into labor.
31:15Take her to the delivery room.
31:17At that moment, the sky lit up with a burst of violet light.
31:21Multicolored rays spread across the sky and the song of birds filled the air.
31:25A divine omen.
31:26Before losing consciousness, I heard the sound of jubilant shouts echoing throughout the hall.
31:31It is a sign from heaven.
31:33This child is destined to guide us into a new golden age.
31:37When I woke up, there were three eggs arranged in the incubator next to me.
31:41Damian was beside me, drying the sweat from my forehead with a soft towel.
31:45I was about to speak when a scream tore through the air.
31:48It was Isabela.
31:49I can't take it anymore.
31:50I don't want to keep giving birth.
31:52Just kill me, please.
31:54Just kill me already.
31:56Isabela, hang in there.
31:57It's almost over.
31:58Her sobs and the midwife's cries mingled in a chaotic chorus.
32:02Our delivery rooms were separated only by a wall.
32:06She was still in the middle of labor.
32:08Clara, you've been through a lot.
32:10Damian murmured, leaving a kiss on my forehead.
32:13In her eyes there was worry, guilt, and an overwhelming tenderness.
32:17Is it too noisy here?
32:18Would you like me to take you home with the little ones so you can get some rest?
32:21In my past life, after giving birth, Javier only had eyes for the child.
32:26She didn't care that I had spent a whole day and night in labor.
32:30She threw the baby into my arms and demanded that I start breastfeeding immediately.
32:34For him, I was nothing more than a means to give him.
32:37A half-breed heir of a beast.
32:38Someone who would help him consolidate his power.
32:40He didn't care about my body or my pain.
32:43But Damian was different.
32:44From beginning to end, his eyes never left me.
32:47He didn't even ask me to incubate the eggs myself.
32:50Instead, he carefully placed them in the incubator and stayed to watch over them himself.
32:55"Okay," I said quietly.
32:57I want to see how Isabela's delivery is going.
32:59This time, I had not felt the agony of childbirth.
33:02Giving birth to three eggs had been easy.
33:04It was over before I even realized it, like waking up from a short nap.
33:09I got up and went to the next room, leaving Damian behind to look after the eggs.
33:14Inside, Isabela writhed in bed, sobbing as if her heart were being torn out.
33:19Every time she was about to faint from the pain, the midwife would force her eyes open.
33:23and he yelled at her to stay awake.
33:25Half an hour later, the baby was finally born.
33:28The moment the midwife saw him, she let out a scream of horror.
33:32A monster.
33:33Isabela gave birth to a monster.
33:34I went closer to look and stepped back in fright.
33:37The creature had three legs and four eyes.
33:40Upon hearing the cotton, however, she smiled with maternal affection.
33:45The three-legged, four-eyed creature was clinging to her breast, suckling loudly as if nothing were wrong.
33:51Javier gagged, turned green, and ran out the door, covering his mouth.
33:56Isabela let out a cold, mocking laugh.
33:58He's the father, so why is he so disgusted?
34:01The news of the monstrous birth of the wolf clan spread quickly and even reached the ears of the high priest.
34:06priest of the Phoenix clan.
34:08The priest carefully examined the drooling child and then turned to Isabela.
34:12Isabela, did you consume anything unusual during your pregnancy?
34:16Judging by how things were going, this child must have been born normal.
34:19Isabela paled.
34:21His right hand trembled as he pulled a small bottle from his sleeve and handed it to her.
34:25I took this.
34:25You can save my baby, right?
34:28The priest did not respond immediately.
34:30He uncorked the jar and, after barely smelling the contents, let out a sigh full of meaning.
34:35This is a fertility remedy from the rat clan, rat eggs.
34:39There is a remedy that claims that taking one a day for 30 days guarantees conception.
34:43But even so, the child shouldn't have been born so deformed.
34:46They immediately summoned the rat clan and dragged him before the wolf clan.
34:51As soon as Isabela saw the man responsible, she threw herself at him and grabbed him by the neck, screaming.
34:56Why isn't my baby normal? What did you do to me?
34:58The rat man, trembling from the pressure of the moment and visibly shaken at the sight of the creature, pushed Isabela away.
35:04He shoved her and fell to his knees before Javier.
35:06This must be because Isabela didn't follow the instructions.
35:10He must have overdosed on rat eggs.
35:13Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.
35:15Isabela glared at him, her eyes burning.
35:18You said that 30 days guaranteed a child.
35:21Then I thought if I took them for 60 days, wouldn't I have two?
35:25As soon as Isabela spoke, everyone present finally understood the truth.
35:29If I had followed the instructions as I should have, perhaps I would have had a healthy child.
35:33But her greed had doomed her.
35:35The scandal once again made the wolf clan the laughingstock of everyone.
35:39Rumors circulated that Javier was impotent, and that his wife had not only been unfaithful to him,
35:43but had even resorted to a vulgar fertility remedy from the despised clan of rats.
35:48Javier, who was already in a terrible mood, would only become even crueler to Isabela after that humiliation.
35:53A month later, just as I was buying fabric to make clothes for my babies and preparing to return home,
35:59I saw Isabela carrying a basket against her chest and sneaking inside.
36:03In a secluded alley, the rumor was that he had lost his mind.
36:07It was said that he went around stealing children throughout the territory of the wolf clan.
36:11I didn't think about it too much.
36:13With a joyful heart, I returned home, eager to welcome my little ones who were about to hatch.
36:19But my bedroom door was wide open, and the incubator was empty.
36:24The three eggs had disappeared.
36:26Panic suddenly coursed through me.
36:28Suddenly I remembered the green cloth that covered Isabela's basket.
36:32It looked exactly like the handkerchief I had left on my desk.
36:35I grabbed the dagger that Damian had given me to defend myself and ran towards the alley where Isabela had disappeared.
36:41Deep inside, I found a dilapidated courtyard, where his unsettling voice could be heard.
36:45Babies, don't be afraid. Mommy is here with you.
36:49I took her by surprise and put the blade to her neck, with icy fury in my voice.
36:53Isabela, give me back my children.
36:55But when I looked down at the basket, my heart sank.
36:59The eggs had already hatched, and I made the young of the serpent peacock bass similar.
37:04Dead?
37:05They escaped, while I remained paralyzed, Isabela pushed me back and let out a crazy laugh.
37:11They're dead. My babies are dead. And now, yours are too.
37:15Isn't it wonderful? Absolutely wonderful.
37:19My eyes burned with rage.
37:21I lunged at her, ready to plunge the dagger into her and thus avenge my children.
37:25Suddenly, Damian burst in.
37:27A silver flash shot out from him; a tiny snake, its mouth wide open, sank its fangs into him.
37:33Isabela's neck.
37:34In an instant, she collapsed, coughing up blood, dead, with her eyes still open.
37:40The small silver snake climbed up my arm and coiled itself there.
37:44Mom, I've avenged you.
37:46It was Cristian's voice.
37:48He had become my son again; I held him carefully in my hands and kissed his forehead.
37:54Isabela's death caused no commotion.
37:57My father, already dishonored by his actions, had long since ceased to recognize her as his daughter.
38:02As for Javier, he couldn't have been more eager for her to disappear.
38:06Seven days later, my three little snakes took human form.
38:10The sky burst once again into violet light and dazzling rainbow clouds.
38:14The birds filled the sky with their song; it was another divine omen.
38:17Then, my whole body began to glow with a golden light.
38:21In the blink of an eye, a gleaming emerald-green snake's tail extended from me,
38:26and my eyes turned bright green.
38:28A voice resounded from the heavens; it was the celestial emperor.
38:32Immortal clear serpent, for your mischief of a thousand years ago,
38:36When you destroyed the celestial furnace and plunged the three realms into chaos,
38:39You have now completed your ten lives of tribulation.
38:42You can return to heaven and reclaim your position.
38:44Memories flooded my mind.
38:46Once I was a flower, a stone, a phoenix, a mermaid.
38:51In every life, Damian had been there, loyally protecting me.
38:55He could have risen a long time ago,
38:57But in our last life, he gave up a thousand years of cultivation to save me.
39:01Before I left, Damian took my hand and whispered.
39:04Wait for me, Clara. I'll be with you in heaven soon.
39:07The blessing of the ascent fell upon the earth.
39:10Clara, all the beastmen of the clan knelt to receive the divine light.
39:14We bid a respectful farewell to the immortal serpent,
39:16that will protect us for generations to come.
39:19In a flash of white light, I returned to the sky and resumed my role as the immortal serpent,
39:24guardian of the celestial garden.
39:26Five hundred years later, she was huddled under the covers,
39:29I was enjoying a lazy nap when a familiar fragrance reached my nose.
39:34A warm hug enveloped me.
39:36Then a voice came, a deep call.
39:38Clara, I'm back.
39:40Everyone who ever hurt you is gone.
