They Messed With The Wrong Luna Ep

Short filmTranscript
00:00Damon had his people throw me off the pack haul at our mating ceremony.
00:03Vivian's pup needs a father on paper. Once my bond with her is dissolved, I will marry you.
00:09Everyone assumed I would wait one more month. After all, I had already waited seven years.
00:13But that very same night, I accepted my family's marriage arrangement.
00:17I flew across the border and left Damon's world. For good.
00:21Three years later, I returned to the old territory with my husband for the ancestral rights.
00:26Ethan was held up by something urgent, so we fly separately.
00:30He sent people from a pack he had acquired three years ago, to pick me up.
00:33In the crowd at the arrival gate, I spotted a sign. It bore my pack name, Lena.
00:38I walked toward it. The person holding the sign looked up. It was Damon.
00:42Vivian stood beside him, along with a group of old friends from years past.
00:46They were waiting for me. They didn't know the person they were waiting for was me.
00:50Damon saw me. He startled for a second. Then that self-important smile slid back onto his face.
00:55See? I told you she'd come back. Damon, isn't that your little lapdog, Lena?
01:01Someone in the crowd recognized me. Laughter erupted.
01:04She disappeared for three years, and now that Damon's made it big, she comes crawling back?
01:08Dressed like that? She can't even afford a decent outfit?
01:11Things must have gone badly out there, huh, Lena?
01:13I glanced down at the heartstone chain on my wrist, the one worth $20 million. I said nothing.
01:19Whenever I used to see Damon, I dressed to perfection. The most flawless makeup. The most
01:24tailored gown. Putting my very best self on display for him. And now? This outfit was custom
01:30made for me by someone Ethan had commissioned. Because I was pregnant, and he refused to let
01:35me wear anything restrictive. I didn't need to dress up for anyone anymore, all for comfort.
01:39I also understood what was happening. They only knew my pack name. They had no idea the
01:44person they were here to collect was me. So they were still mocking me, still unaware of
01:48what they were doing. The silence stretched too long. One of Damon's old friends stepped
01:55in to smooth things over. Lena, it's good that you're back. Damon's actually been looking
01:59for you all these years. The smile on Damon's face stiffened for a beat. Vivian's pup is starting
02:04academy soon. You'll be responsible for drop-offs and pickups from now on. Three years had
02:08passed. He was exactly the same. That sense of entitlement. That air of superiority. I
02:13was about to reveal who I was. Lena, don't blame Damon. He's arranging this for your own
02:18good. The way you've been getting by out there, you don't even qualify to be my personal secretary.
02:25Help me look after my son. No one will look down on you for that. Damon caught me frowning
02:29and assumed I was jealous. A flicker of satisfaction crossed his eyes.
02:33All right, if the outside world didn't work out, stop pretending it did.
02:38Take care of the child. Know your place. Don't worry. There's no shortage of Omega servant
02:44quarters in the house. He genuinely believed. I had come back because I couldn't let him go.
02:50Look how well Damon's taking care of you. Room and board all sorted. Go on, thank Damon.
02:56Lena, don't worry. If my son acts up, I'll discipline him myself. I won't let you be mistreated.
03:02Damon let out a cold laugh. What does she have to be mistreated about?
03:06She vanished over something trivial, and now she's back because she couldn't make it out there.
03:11A little hardship is exactly what she deserves. My heart skipped. Even now,
03:16he still called that trivial. The heavy rain outside Pack Hall. His back as he walked in with
03:21Vivian. Seven years. To him, it was just a trivial thing. The boy who had once carried me across half
03:27the territory while bleeding out himself. Just to keep his promise. He was long dead. Dead the day
03:33he chose Vivian for the first time. It was all in the past. I didn't need any of that anymore.
03:38I was
03:38about to have my second child. I pressed down every feeling and looked at Damon with perfect calm.
03:45Aren't you here to pick me up? Let's go.
03:48A beat of silence fell over the crowd. Then, laughter exploded.
03:53Wait for you? Who do you think you are? We're waiting for Lena. Do you even know who that is?
04:00Of course I did. That's my name.
04:03Ethan swore never to bond. They say he was waiting for her his whole life.
04:07Everyone in the circles knows, if you want to get close to Ethan, go through his Luna. There's
04:12nothing he wouldn't give up for that woman. Listening to them describe my own life,
04:15I couldn't keep the corners of my mouth from lifting. Three years into our bond,
04:20Ethan's power had only grown, and his reputation for doting on his Luna had grown with it.
04:26Vivian had always had a talent for flaunting other people's lives in my face.
04:29At the Blood Summit auction, Ethan won a heartstone chain for his Luna. Value?
04:34$20 million. Every female on the continent envies that woman.
04:42It's... this one.
04:45Everyone was staring at the chain on my wrist.
04:47Damon grabbed my hand and leaned in for a close look.
04:50Replica. Which delivery boy Omega bought you this?
04:54Wearing garbage like that in public, shameless.
04:57I pulled my hand free.
04:59I traced my fingers over every stone on the chain.
05:02The day Ethan clasped it onto my wrist,
05:04he murmured in my ear,
05:06Don't ever take it off.
05:08I smiled.
05:09Damon saw my smile.
05:11His pupils contracted sharply.
05:12He lunged forward and ripped the chain from my wrist.
05:16I hadn't been ready for it.
05:18He got away with it.
05:18The thing Ethan gave me had just fallen into Vivian's hands.
05:22Nice weight.
05:23Definitely more refined than the fake I bought.
05:25But I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something like this in public.
05:28Or could it be...
05:30Or could it be...
05:30Lena, are you Lena?
05:32You're the legendary Blood Summit Luna?
05:35The laughter that broke out was deafening, because it was absurd.
05:39Ethan was the strongest alpha on the continent.
05:41And I, three years ago,
05:43was the broken Omega Damon had driven out of Pack Hall.
05:46No one could possibly connect the two.
05:49Vivian tossed the chain in her palm, weighing it.
05:52Lena, I'll buy this off you.
05:54Double the price.
05:55Give it back!
05:56That was a gift from Ethan!
06:02Shut up!
06:03Damon towered over me,
06:04eyes burning with irritation.
06:06You think you can drop Ethan's name just like that?
06:09Spreading rumors about a connection with him in a place like this?
06:13Are you trying to get me killed?
06:14Lena, do you have any idea?
06:17Getting to receive Ethan's Luna was a chance a thousand people fought over.
06:21Damon's pack was acquired by Ethan three years ago.
06:24We all survive on his goodwill now.
06:27If you spread lies here,
06:28you'll bring ruin down on every single one of us.
06:31I slowly raised my hand
06:32and wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth.
06:35Slowly turned my head
06:36and looked Damon directly in the eyes.
06:38Damon's brow furrowed.
06:40Something in his gaze flickered with unease.
06:42He thought I was the Lena he remembered.
06:44He thought I would cry,
06:46beg,
06:47explain.
06:47He didn't know.
06:48The way I looked at him now
06:50was the same way I'd look at a dead man.
06:52Vivian caught the way Damon was looking at me.
06:54She immediately pointed a finger in my face.
06:56Lena, you ungrateful wolf!
06:58Damon already agreed to take you in
07:01and this is how you act?
07:03Even if you resent him,
07:05you don't get to use this kind of revenge.
07:07I had a strange sense of deja vu.
07:09Three years ago,
07:10it was exactly like this.
07:12No matter what happened,
07:13Vivian would twist the truth
07:14and feed it to Damon.
07:15In the beginning,
07:16Damon would still yell at Vivian for it.
07:19Later, he started echoing her words to come after me.
07:21Just like now,
07:22Damon bit out.
07:23Jealous.
07:24But he didn't keep going.
07:25He went quiet for a moment,
07:27then reached into his jacket,
07:28placed a check in front of me.
07:30Two hundred thousand.
07:31The posture of charity.
07:33The expression of charity.
07:35He genuinely believed
07:36this was the greatest dignity he could offer me.
07:38Out of respect for what we once had,
07:40I won't do anything to you.
07:41Take the money.
07:42Go buy yourself something decent to wear.
07:44If you don't want to look after the child,
07:47I'll find you a respectable position in a few days.
07:49Since Ethan acquired my pack,
07:51this amount means nothing to me.
07:53I looked at that check,
07:54looked at his face,
07:55giving charity.
07:56Under the stunned stares of everyone around us,
07:58I pushed it back,
08:00retrieved the chain from Vivian's hand.
08:02No, thank you.
08:03I don't take things from strangers.
08:05I'm a stranger?
08:07Lena, what the hell does that mean?
08:09Since the relationship is over,
08:10it's better we don't associate.
08:12I wouldn't want my husband
08:14to get the wrong idea.
08:15Damon's expression shifted.
08:18He glanced at Vivian
08:20and that knowing look crossed his face.
08:22He thought I was trying to make him jealous.
08:24In three days,
08:25Ironcrest Pack is hosting a Blood Moon Gala
08:27in Ethan's honor.
08:28I'll take you.
08:30Give you a glimpse of how the other half lives.
08:35Though you'll need to find yourself
08:37something decent to wear first,
08:38or else...
08:39No, thank you.
08:40Damon's face darkened.
08:42Lena,
08:43I hope in three days
08:44you'll still feel this confident.
08:47I walked out of the arrival gate
08:48without looking back.
08:49Fresh air flooded my lungs.
08:51The nausea in my stomach
08:53finally began to ease.
08:54Three years ago,
08:56my family had pressured me
08:57to cross the border
08:58for an arranged marriage.
08:59I held out against it
09:00and ran to Damon,
09:02begging him to complete our bond first.
09:04Make it a done deal
09:05before anyone could interfere.
09:07He agreed.
09:08Then at the doors of Pack Hall,
09:09I didn't just find him.
09:11I found Vivian waiting beside him.
09:13Vivian's pup needs to be registered.
09:15I have to complete the bond with her first.
09:17One month.
09:18Then I'll come for you immediately.
09:20It's only for the child's sake.
09:22Don't read into it.
09:23I watched him walk into Pack Hall
09:25with Vivian on his arm.
09:27That night,
09:27I set out.
09:28One month later,
09:29I married Ethan.
09:31A year after that,
09:32Leo was born.
09:33Just a few days ago,
09:34I confirmed I was carrying a second.
09:36If not for accompanying Ethan back
09:38for the ancestral rites,
09:39I would never have set foot
09:41on this land again
09:42for the rest of my life,
09:43let alone run into him
09:44at the arrival gate.
09:46Three days later,
09:47I put on a light layer of makeup.
09:48The same custom soft fabric dress.
09:51I went to the Blood Moon Gala alone.
09:53The moment I walked in,
09:54Damon spotted me.
09:58A light flickered in his eyes.
10:00That familiar,
10:01self-satisfied curve
10:02pulled at the corner of his mouth.
10:03Said you wouldn't come,
10:05but here you are.
10:07Body doesn't lie.
10:11Though if you want me to look twice,
10:13you could at least dress the part.
10:15For an occasion like this,
10:17what you're wearing...
10:18I stepped around him
10:19and kept walking.
10:20He grabbed my arm.
10:21I'm talking to you.
10:26Our seats are over here.
10:27Where are you going?
10:29I looked calmly
10:30toward the far end of the hall.
10:31That's your seat.
10:33Mine is over there.
10:35Following my gaze,
10:36Damon saw the head table,
10:37the Alpha's seat,
10:38the Luna's seat.
10:39His expression changed.
10:41Vivian's eyes turned vicious instantly.
10:43She fixed her glare on the chain
10:45at my wrist and raised her voice.
10:47Lena!
10:48How did you get in here?
10:49Are you here to cause trouble?
10:51Walking in with that chain?
10:53Are you trying to humiliate the Luna?
10:56Tonight is Ethan's first time
10:58bringing his Luna out in public.
11:00Rogue woman, get out!
11:02Every guest in the room turned to look.
11:04Someone glanced at Damon.
11:06Damon Alpha, do you know this person?
11:08Damon straightened his cuffs,
11:09perfectly composed.
11:11No.
11:11One word.
11:12Clean.
11:13Final.
11:13Vivian lifted her chin immediately.
11:16Take off that chain and get out!
11:18She reached for it.
11:19I stepped aside,
11:21but someone deliberately tripped me from behind.
11:24I fell.
11:25Vivian planted her foot on my wrist.
11:27The chain.
11:28She tore it free with brute force.
11:31The gems scattered across the floor,
11:33like a shattered constellation.
11:35Drag her out!
11:36Pain screamed through my wrist,
11:38bone deep.
11:39Stop!
11:39I'm Ethan!
11:42His what?
11:43His mistress?
11:44Who do you think you are?
11:48She backhanded me again.
11:49I lay against the marble floor.
11:51When I came back here,
11:52I hadn't planned to settle scores with anyone.
11:54There was no point.
11:55But now,
11:56she had struck me twice.
11:58She had destroyed something Ethan gave me.
12:00She would pay for both of those things.
12:03Everything she was capable of losing,
12:05she would lose it all.
12:07Damon crouched in front of me.
12:08He reached out as if to touch the wound on my wrist.
12:11I flinched away on instinct.
12:13He looked at me coldly.
12:15Are you done making a scene?
12:17You came in that outfit,
12:19wearing that chain.
12:20You missed me, didn't you?
12:22You wanted to make me jealous.
12:23Just say the word,
12:25and I'll give you what you want.
12:26Damon.
12:27I raised my eyes to meet his.
12:28You're finished.
12:29Damon frowned,
12:30about to speak.
12:31The atmosphere in the gala shifted.
12:33Every guest began composing themselves,
12:35pressing toward the entrance.
12:37Damon leaned down and murmured to me,
12:38Ethan's here.
12:40Behave yourself.
12:41Vivian and I have already dissolved our bond.
12:44I pressed my nearly crushed wrist.
12:46Looking at his face,
12:47I felt nothing but revulsion.
12:48Whether you two dissolve your bond or not,
12:50what does that have to do with me?
12:53Then,
12:54the doors opened.
12:55Ethan walked in,
12:56carrying Leo.
12:59The moment Leo entered the hall,
13:01he squirmed to get down from Ethan's arms.
13:03The moment the cherub-faced little pup touched the ground,
13:06every eye in the room was pulled to him.
13:08Damon turned to me abruptly.
13:10Lena,
13:11as long as you stop provoking Vivian,
13:13I can forgive you for disappearing three years.
13:15I'll give you a chance.
13:17Bear me a child.
13:19A child that belongs to us.
13:21I paid him no attention.
13:22I was looking through the crowd,
13:24trying to catch Leo's eye.
13:25Leo's gaze swept the room,
13:27then,
13:27locked,
13:28he broke free from Ethan's hand
13:29and charged toward me,
13:30crashed into my arms.
13:32Mama,
13:33what happened to you?
13:35Who did this?
13:36Why is there so much blood on your hand?
13:39That moment,
13:40Mama,
13:41and the entire gala went still.
13:45The guests would have stood by cold-eyed
13:47while I was struck.
13:48Their faces all changed at once.
13:50Leo held on to me,
13:52eyes going red.
13:53I crouched to meet him at eye level,
13:56cupped his round little cheeks in my hands.
13:59Mama is fine.
14:01Whoever dares to treat Mama like this?
14:04I was about to reassure him
14:06when I felt the pressure from behind.
14:08Not an ordinary approach.
14:09It was Ethan's,
14:10the kind that felt like a mountain moving,
14:12the kind that made the air itself go still.
14:14The crowd parted automatically.
14:16I didn't need to turn around
14:17to know he was furious.
14:19Since I'd gotten pregnant with our second,
14:21he'd have kept me physically
14:22tucked against him if he could.
14:23If it hadn't been for the urgent matter,
14:25he never would have sent someone else
14:27to pick me up.
14:28I lifted Leo into my arms,
14:29turned around.
14:31Ethan was standing there,
14:32his gaze dropped to the bloodstain on my wrist,
14:34then to the marks on my face.
14:37His eyes went dark.
14:40Leo slipped out of my arms
14:42and ran to Ethan.
14:43Daddy, someone hurt Mama.
14:45Let's go get revenge.
14:49Lena, tell me what happened.
14:51One moment I'm away
14:53and you're already hurt.
14:54Which blind fool did this?
14:56I'm fine, Ethan.
14:58Lena, I'm your mate.
15:00If something wronged you,
15:02you don't have to carry it alone.
15:03We can't let anyone hurt Mama!
15:06Maybe it was the pregnancy.
15:07Maybe I'd held it together for too long.
15:09My voice came out with a tremor
15:10I hadn't planned for.
15:12You weren't there
15:13and they all went after me.
15:15At that moment,
15:17Leo's eyes caught something on the floor.
15:19He bent down and picked up a single gem.
15:20Daddy, isn't this part of the gift
15:23you gave Mama?
15:25Ethan took the stone
15:26and turned it over.
15:27On the back,
15:28two letters were engraved.
15:30E. L.
15:32Turn on every light.
15:37Every light in the gala blazed on.
15:40Ethan tilted my face toward him.
15:44They actually dared to do this to you.
15:46We can't let them get away with this.
15:48I didn't know if it was the pregnancy,
15:50but my emotions kept slipping past my defenses.
15:53You weren't there
15:54and they all went after me.
15:58The people who had followed
16:00to the arrival gate to mock me,
16:01their legs were shaking now.
16:04They were finally putting it together.
16:06The woman in the custom soft fabric dress
16:09three days ago.
16:10The woman with the heartstone chain on her wrist.
16:13The woman who kept insisting
16:15she was Ethan's Luna.
16:16She hadn't been making it up.
16:18Every word she said had been true.
16:24Just then,
16:25Vivian's follower,
16:26Jade,
16:26stepped forward.
16:27Lena,
16:28are these two actors you hired?
16:30Not bad performances,
16:32honestly.
16:33Want Vivian to help you find an agent?
16:36Though,
16:36since you can't even afford
16:37a decent outfit these days.
16:39I have one I've worn before
16:40I could give it to you.
16:42Save you the embarrassment.
16:43Jade had arrived last.
16:45She hadn't seen Leo
16:46throw himself into my arms.
16:47She had dressed to kill tonight,
16:49hoping to catch the eye
16:50of a powerful mate.
16:52The fastest route
16:53to a powerful mate
16:54in these circles
16:56was to win Vivian's favor.
16:58And the most effective way
16:59to win Vivian's favor
17:01was to make my life miserable.
17:03So she opened her mouth.
17:05No one in the room laughed.
17:07Everyone was staring at her
17:09like she'd lost her mind.
17:11Jade began to panic.
17:12She turned to Ethan
17:13and tilted her face upward,
17:15trying to be coy.
17:16The man next to her,
17:17he's not bad looking.
17:19If you're willing to leave Lena,
17:20I might consider
17:21keeping you.
17:23Keeping.
17:24Ethan.
17:25I nearly laughed out loud.
17:30Ethan started laughing.
17:32That kind of laugh.
17:33The rare one,
17:34where it curls up at the corners
17:36and he can't quite stop it.
17:37He had always been particular
17:39about my safety.
17:40Over the years,
17:41anyone who tried to get close to him
17:43either vanished
17:44or ended up on the far end
17:45of the continent.
17:46He wasn't angry.
17:48He simply found her amusing.
17:50In the way one finds someone
17:52who has used up their borrowed time,
17:54Jade sensed the shift in the room
17:56and tried to press herself
17:57closer to Vivian.
17:59Vivian immediately gave her a slap
18:01that sent her to the floor.
18:02Jade, are you trying to die?
18:04You dare offend Ethan and his Luna?
18:07Do you have a death wish?
18:08Jade clutched her face,
18:10slumped on the marble murmuring.
18:12Lena is Lena.
18:13She's really the Luna.
18:15I offended.
18:16I...
18:17Ethan was notorious
18:18across the continent
18:19for being fiercely protective
18:20of his mate.
18:22Jade's mind went to
18:23what might be waiting for her.
18:24Her whole body began to tremble.
18:27Someone in the crowd gasped.
18:29All eyes moved
18:30to the hem of Jade's dress.
18:32She had wet herself from fear.
18:34Ethan gave a slight frown.
18:36His guards understood
18:37without a word
18:38and dragged her out.
18:40Damon and Vivian's faces
18:41flushed a deep, mortified red.
18:44Everyone in the room knew
18:45that Jade's words
18:47had always followed
18:48wherever their hearts pointed.
18:51The healer Ethan had summoned
18:53was treating my wounds.
18:54The antiseptic touched skin.
18:56I hissed through my teeth.
18:59Just that one sound.
19:01And Ethan and Leo
19:02both looked up
19:03with murder in their eyes.
19:04You can't even apply medicine
19:06without hurting her?
19:07The healer's hands
19:08began to shake even harder.
19:10I pretended to glare at them.
19:12Lena?
19:13Mama?
19:14Father and son
19:15both shrank back,
19:17looking aggrieved.
19:18I sighed.
19:19The healer is helping me.
19:21Stop terrifying her.
19:23The healer visibly exhaled.
19:25After her examination,
19:26she addressed Ethan.
19:27Alpha Ethan,
19:28the luma is unharmed
19:30and the pup in the womb
19:31is safe as well.
19:33The wound on her wrist
19:35is fairly deep.
19:35I'll use the finest medicine
19:38available
19:38and do my best
19:39to ensure it heals
19:40without scarring.
19:41Ethan went quiet,
19:43said nothing.
19:44Only I knew
19:45this was what it looked like
19:47when he was truly,
19:48deeply furious.
19:51Damon,
19:51the one most responsible
19:53for all of it,
19:54was finally beginning
19:55to feel afraid.
19:56He never could have imagined
19:58that the Omega
19:59he had thrown away
20:00had become the mate
20:02of the man above him
20:03in every hierarchy
20:04that mattered.
20:07Ethan stood beside me
20:08and swept a slow gaze
20:09across the room.
20:11I'd like you all
20:11to volunteer
20:12what happened
20:13in the past few days.
20:16If I have to find out
20:17on my own,
20:18he paused,
20:19everyone present
20:20may not die pleasantly.
20:22Damon's complexion shifted.
20:23He was the first to speak.
20:26Ethan Alpha,
20:28this is all a misunderstanding.
20:30As Lena's
20:31former intended mate,
20:32I was simply
20:33catching up with her.
20:33The glass in Ethan's hand
20:35let out a faint,
20:36precise crack.
20:37Damon didn't notice
20:38and kept going.
20:39Ethan Alpha must know
20:40how much Lena
20:41used to love me.
20:43Catching up
20:44is only natural,
20:45isn't it?
20:45The glass shattered.
20:47Ethan's hand
20:48was covered in blood.
20:49I ached
20:49just looking at it.
20:50Damon,
20:51stop flattering yourself.
20:52I tended to Ethan's hand
20:53while I spoke.
20:54In this life,
20:55I have only ever loved Ethan.
20:57Say anything else
20:57to drive a wedge between us
20:59and don't expect me
21:00to stay civil.
21:00Ethan looked down,
21:02watching me bandage his hand.
21:04And then he smiled.
21:06Lena,
21:07you just said
21:08I'm your favorite.
21:09I
21:10was speechless.
21:13Damon's expression
21:14turned wounded.
21:16Lena,
21:17Vivian and I
21:18have dissolved our bond.
21:19He opened his mouth again.
21:21That pup
21:22could call you mama
21:23going forward too.
21:24You only married Ethan
21:25to spite me,
21:26didn't you?
21:26I understand.
21:27I don't mind.
21:28As long as you're willing
21:29to come back,
21:30everything I can give you,
21:31none of it is less
21:32than what he offers.
21:33As long as you're willing
21:35to come back
21:35and be my son's nanny.
21:36Leo,
21:37sitting nearby,
21:37slowly set down his fork.
21:39He studied Damon
21:39for a moment.
21:40Nanny?
21:42My mama
21:42is a little princess
21:44at home.
21:45You think you're worthy
21:46of making her a nanny?
21:48Mama will only ever have
21:49me and my little sister,
21:51two children.
21:52Your pup of unclear
21:53wargences
21:53has no business
21:54being connected
21:55to my mama.
21:56You're not as handsome
21:57as my daddy,
21:58not as tall either,
21:59and you smell
22:00the kind of broke
22:01that gets into your eyes.
22:02The guests around them
22:04burst out laughing.
22:05Damon's face went purple.
22:07At this moment,
22:08Vivian had completely lost
22:09what remained
22:10of her composure.
22:11She heard Damon say,
22:13let Lena be the child's mother.
22:14She picked up a fork
22:16and lunged at Leo.
22:19You little bastard,
22:21I'll kill you!
22:22The moment Vivian
22:23charged at Leo,
22:24I released Ethan's hand
22:25and threw myself over Leo.
22:27Son, are you...
22:29Okay, the word
22:30never came out.
22:31Before I lost consciousness,
22:33I saw Leo's face.
22:34Panicked.
22:35Pale.
22:36I wanted to tell him
22:38don't cry.
22:39The words didn't come.
22:41Everything went dark.
22:44The sharp smell
22:45of antiseptic
22:45pulled me back.
22:47White ceiling above me.
22:48A patient's gown.
22:50Mia was sitting
22:51at the bedside.
22:52The moment she saw
22:53my eyes open,
22:54and she threw herself
22:55at me.
22:56Lena!
22:58You're finally awake!
22:59If you'd slept any longer,
23:00those two little demons
23:01of yours would have
23:02torn the whole territory apart!
23:05My first instinct.
23:06I pressed a hand
23:07to my stomach.
23:08Mia understood immediately.
23:10Relax.
23:11You and the baby
23:12are both perfectly fine.
23:13The doctor said
23:14it was the shock
23:15combined with the pain
23:16from your wound
23:17that made you pass out.
23:18Yeah.
23:18That Vivian
23:19is absolutely unhinged!
23:21Going at Leo
23:22with a fork!
23:23Where are Leo
23:24and Ethan?
23:25Safe.
23:26Both of them.
23:27You were still
23:28too reckless.
23:29With that many guards
23:30around,
23:31it wasn't your turn
23:31to step in.
23:32That's Leo.
23:33I know,
23:34I know,
23:35your precious little pup.
23:36That little creature
23:37is vicious enough
23:38on his own.
23:39He didn't need protection.
23:41Where are they now,
23:43the two of them?
23:44Mia's eyes lit up.
23:45Gone to avenge you.
23:49I got there
23:50after you'd already
23:50passed out,
23:51but I pieced together
23:52what happened
23:52from the people around.
23:54After you went down,
23:56Leo picked up the fork
23:57from the floor
23:57and drove it
23:58straight through
23:59Vivian's palm.
24:01He's three years old.
24:02I have no idea
24:03where he found the strength.
24:04Ethan had also learned
24:05by then
24:06what happened
24:07at the arrival gate
24:08three days ago.
24:09That Damon slapped you.
24:10That he tore off
24:11the heartstone chain.
24:12The way they all
24:13humiliated you.
24:14He knew every detail.
24:17Then he had his guards
24:17hold Damon down
24:19and had the hand
24:20that struck you
24:21cut off.
24:22Leo watched the whole thing
24:24without blinking once.
24:26Such a little tyrant.
24:28Vivian,
24:29Ethan had someone
24:30bring in a crate
24:30of gemstones
24:31and told her
24:31to swallow them all.
24:32He said exactly this.
24:33Since you love
24:34taking things
24:34that belong to others
24:35so much,
24:36I'll give you your fill.
24:37The gems are yours.
24:38So is the man.
24:39She swallowed.
24:40She refused.
24:41So they brought in her son.
24:44She swallowed a lot.
24:46When she was half dead
24:47from it,
24:48Ethan had someone
24:48carve up her face,
24:50severed the tangents
24:51in her son's hands,
24:53and had her thrown
24:54into international waters.
24:55The guests who stood there
24:56and watched you get beaten,
24:57every single one of them
24:58left with a scar
24:59on their wrist.
25:00So they'll remember
25:00the cost of looking away
25:01while the Luna
25:02was being humiliated.
25:03Oh, and one more thing.
25:04Ironcrest pack
25:05officially dissolved.
25:06Everything Damon had.
25:07Starting today,
25:08gone.
