00:02the river would pack lived by one unbreakable rule no werewolf mates a human but my alpha
00:08ethan broke that rule for me he knelt before the moon goddess for three days and three nights
00:13begging for her blessing so his pack would be forced to accept me as his mate but in my fourth
00:18year as his luna i was caught cheating for the third time the beta she-wolf at his side smirked
00:23her voice dripping with malice luna the mate agreement is clear three betrayals and you're
00:30exiled you lose all rights to the pup ethan's eyes burned with anger and disappointment what's your
00:37excuse this time that you don't know him or that you were drugged again but this time i didn't panic
00:43i didn't burst into tears begging him to listen or forgive me for our pup's sake i calmly accepted
00:49the dissolution of our bond and even offered to never see our pup again for four years everyone
00:55said a plain human like me was never good enough for an alpha like him and now i was just
01:00tired but
01:01when i finally vanished from his world he tore it apart looking for me i pressed my thumbprint onto
01:06the agreement to dissolve our bond i'll move out of the river packs territory as soon as i can
01:11i'll take my grandmother with me as for leo you don't deserve to be his mother you are never to
01:18see
01:18him again i didn't flinch i just smiled i was about to say the same thing i won't be seeing
01:26him
01:26anymore ethan's brow furrowed he wasn't used to me being so final for the last four years our pup was
01:33my entire world in every fight he'd always threatened to keep leo from me and every time i was the
01:40one who
01:40bow my head apologize and beg him to let me see my son this wasn't like me at all selene's
01:47smirk
01:47widened and she covered her mouth in mock surprise kareen how can you say such a thing
01:53he's your own flesh and blood i ignored her i was used to her always at ethan's side acting more
02:00like his mate than i ever was all while finding new ways to drive a wedge between us ethan sneered
02:06at my calm expression faithless to the core giving up your own flesh and blood for some mutt outside
02:13kareen you truly are something else his words were daggers slicing at my heart but i was numb
02:21i'd endured this kind of humiliation for four years the first time i was caught the so-called lover
02:27vanished before ethan arrived the security camera only caught a blurry figure i tried to explain to
02:33prove my innocence but as a human i couldn't form a mind link with him i had no way to
02:39make him feel the
02:39truth in my heart ethan please believe me i don't know that man i'd cried begging him he didn't
02:47listen selene was right there adding fuel to the fire maybe kareen just prefers being with human men
02:54they are their own kind after all from then on as punishment i was forced to schedule visits with my
03:02own son through selene a week in advance watched by pack guards the entire time it was like a
03:07prisoner's visitation hour the second time was worse i was locked in the basement for a month
03:14i saw no one not even a sliver of sunlight i developed severe claustrophobia it took me a full
03:21week after they let me out before i could speak to people normally when leo saw me he burst into
03:26tears
03:26i was so thin i looked like a ghost now the third time i was done with this sick game
03:33so i let go
03:34i've signed it is there anything else if not please leave corinne you'd better not regret this
03:42don't come crawling back to me because i won't be merciful again he turned and walked toward the
03:47door my mind went back five years to when i found ethan injured and nursed him back to health during
03:54that
03:54time we fell in love he would press his hand over his heart and tell me again and again you
03:59are the
03:59most special woman i have ever known my heart my wolf they're yours until he finally confessed the
04:08truth he was a werewolf i hesitated i couldn't see myself as the luna his pack needed and i never
04:15believed he could break their sacred laws for me but he was relentless chasing me for an entire year
04:20until he finally knelt at the moon goddess's temple for three days and nights begging her to bless our
04:24union when a pale exhausted ethan told me he'd secured the elder's approval my resolve shattered
04:30i truly believed our love was strong enough to bridge the divide between our worlds but just six
04:35months after i became his mate i was found with another man the frame up was sloppy obvious even
04:42but it didn't matter something in his eyes changed that day watching his back as he left i felt my
04:48heart
04:48turned to stone i had trusted him and i had been wrong i would not make that mistake again
04:54selene paused at the door turning back to give me a fake smile enjoy yourself kareem you and your
05:01kind are better suited for each other aren't you her words were laced with venom but i no longer cared
05:06after they left the room fell into a dead silence i turned to the man still passed out on the
05:12bed
05:12and a wave of nausea rolled in my stomach i'd been awake for a while as the drugs effects wore
05:18off
05:18and i realized i'd been set up again i could have run only to be dragged back for an even
05:22crueler
05:22punishment but this time i chose to stay i waited for them for this whole drama to play out just
05:29to
05:29end this disgusting game for good that evening i returned to the river pax estate my former home
05:35when i pushed open the door to the master bedroom i found it empty my clothes my books even the
05:41jasmine plant i'd potted myself all gone a werewolf maid saw me and bowed her head awkwardly
05:46mrs kareem your things have been packed they're in the storage room miss selena said the master
05:53bedroom needs to be prepared for the new luna the new luna i let out a bitter laugh selene certainly
05:59worked fast the storage room was next to the basement a dark damp space filled with old furniture
06:05and junk my suitcases were tossed in a corner one of them broken open my clothes spilling onto the
06:11dusty floor i knelt and started digging through the mess i didn't care about the expensive clothes
06:17or jewelry those were gifts from ethan or rather gifts for the luna he wanted me to be i was
06:22looking
06:23for only one thing the emerald necklace my grandmother had given me it was the only treasure
06:28that was truly mine finally in a broken jewelry box i found it hey a small voice came from behind
06:37me
06:37i turned to see four-year-old leo standing in the doorway looking down at me at some point he'd
06:43stopped calling me mom now it was just hey auntie selena said you're not part of our family anymore
06:49you're an outsider you can't take anything from the pack my heart clenched leo these are my things
06:58not the packs no auntie selena says all lonely humans are thieves you can't take anything he
07:05lunged for the necklace in my hand his small fingers yanking hard on the chain leo let go this was
07:10from
07:10your great-grandmother i tried to protect it but even a four-year-old pup had unnatural strength
07:17in the struggle the necklace snapped and fell to the floor the crack of the emerald shattering was
07:22deafening in the small silent room i stared at the broken pieces on the ground my heart turning
07:28to ash the stone that held all of my grandmother's love was shattered it's your fault for not letting
07:33go leo do you have any idea what you just broke that was from my great-grandmother do you even
07:43know
07:43she's in a nursing home because of you i don't have a great-grandmother i just know about some burden
07:50who's draining our packs medical resources auntie selena said she should have died a long time ago
07:56then dad wouldn't have to waste so much money on her auntie selena said that for a lowly human
08:03she doesn't deserve to be in our pack say that again lowly doesn't deserve my expression terrified
08:11him he bit his lip then found his courage a lowly old woman what i couldn't take i shoved him
08:20i
08:20couldn't stand hearing those vile words from his mouth caught off guard he fell backward and let
08:26out a pain cry dad mommy hit me leo wailed from the floor leo what's wrong
08:37dad she hit me make her leave i want auntie to leave ethan's furious glare landed on me are you
08:45insane
08:47attacking your own pup i stood in the corner watching the father and son feeling nothing
08:53i didn't hit him i was fulfilling my final duty as his mother teaching him some manners teaching him
09:02what he should and shouldn't say manners you call shoving a four-year-old pup manners leo sobbed in
09:11his father's arms but still managed to repeat his earlier words dad auntie selene was right
09:18that old woman is just wasting your money she should have died a long time ago hearing it again
09:24from my own son's lips was like a knife twisting in my heart but what broke me was ethan's reaction
09:30he just frowned he didn't scold leo instead he defended selene selene was just stating a fact from
09:38the perspective of pack resources don't make a big deal out of it her medical bills are a significant
09:43expense i stared at him in disbelief after four years together he thought caring for my sick
09:50grandmother was an unnecessary expense ethan do you hear yourself enough i brought leo here so you
09:57two could talk about the situation don't tell him yet he's young he needs time to adjust he meant the
10:06bond dissolution i almost laughed in the last four years the total time i'd spent talking to leo was
10:12probably less than half the time he'd spent alone with selene and now he wanted us to talk i bent
10:18down
10:18and gathered the shattered pieces of the emerald not even flinching as a sharp edge sliced my finger
10:29i'm leaving in the living room selene was lounging elegantly on the sofa with a cup of tea
10:36as if she owned the place she gave me a perfect smile as i walked out i ignored her and
10:42headed
10:42straight for the main entrance stop you can't go you didn't say sorry to me used to being the center
10:52of everyone's world leo couldn't handle my indifference when i didn't immediately kneel
10:57to hug and soothe him he started wailing the sound was shrill and piercing down my coldness finally
11:03made ethan snap the full force of his alpha command crashed down on me making it hard to breathe
11:07stop apologize to leo now the alpha's command was an invisible chain binding my body to end it all
11:16i mechanically knelt and looked at the crying boy i'm sorry leo mommy shouldn't have pushed you leo
11:24stopped crying he glared at me with swollen red eyes then suddenly swung his little hand dot at4 leo could
11:30already partially shift his nails lengthened sharpening into claws blood rolled up instantly
11:35from three deep gashes on my arm lowly human you deserved it you reek of another male even a pup
11:45consented this is the punishment you deserve ethan i shot to my feet my shot fell in my eyes blazing
11:53with
11:53fury you say i reek of another male what about you for four years you and sualine have been
11:59disseparable you even sent our son to stay at her house so you tell me whose scent is more disgusting
12:06corin how dare you the alpha and i are innocent i was merely performing my duties as a beta
12:12helping manage pack affairs innocent you know exactly what's in your heart
12:20you enough corin you have completely and utterly disappointed me since you seem to think we're not
12:28so innocent i'll show you what real betrayal looks like ethan ordered the nanny to take leo away
12:33then he grabbed my wrist and dragged me back into the bathroom ethan let me go i struggled but a
12:39human
12:39strength is nothing against a werewolf's the door slammed shut he bound my wrists with a coarse
12:45rope and threw me to the floor tonight you're going to watch that hurts you think this hurts
12:54do you have any idea how much it hurt when i found you with him he turned pulled celine into
12:58his arms
12:59and crushed his lips against hers the kiss was passionate fiery as if they were true mates the
13:05sight made me want to vomit ethan we dissolved the bond you can't humiliate me like this he didn't listen
13:13deepening the kiss celine let out a soft moan her hand slowly tracing the skin over his heart there
13:18tattooed in black ink was my name the mate's mark of loyalty now celine's fingers were stroking those
13:25letters alpha this tattoo can you change it to my name i closed my eyes silent tears streaming down my
13:32face of course selena a faithless mate doesn't deserve a place on my skin
13:39faithless the irony was suffocating he believed every flimsy setup against me yet here he was
13:45kissing and touching another woman right in front of my eyes just as my heart went completely numb
13:49my phone ringed i struggled to reach it and answered a nurse's trembling voice came from the other end
13:55i'm a nurse at saint mary's hospital your grandmother there's been an emergency
14:02what what happened to her your grandmother heard the news that you were being exiled from the pack
14:07this afternoon and she became very distressed during our evening rounds we found she had
14:11swallowed a large number of sleeping pills we're working on her now but but her will to live is very
14:15weak miss corinne can you get here right away she really needs you how could she know i collapsed
14:21the world spinning i never told her i scrambled to my feet ethan please let me go to the hospital
14:30my grandmother something happened to her what a performance corinne are you really willing to
14:35stoop this low just to escape your punishment it's not an act it's real my grandmother is in trouble
14:45alpha don't let her fool you this is just a pathetic attempt to run away
14:50i'm not lying she's really in the emergency room please believe me enough
14:57we just signed the agreement how would your grandmother know you knew she couldn't handle
15:02the shock and you still had to tell her who's to blame for that i didn't tell her just let
15:09me go
15:09there might still be time she was only injured because she saved leo from a rogue wolf please don't
15:16treat her life like a joke corinne you use your grandmother to get sympathy every single time
15:25i'm sick of it alpha forget about her come here in a final desperate surge i fought to my
15:31but with my hands tied i lost my balance and my head slammed hard against the door
15:38grandma i have to save grandma my actions finally pushed ethan over the edge he strode over grabbed
15:45my shoulder and dragged me to the storage closet in the corner of the room since you love lying and
15:50performing so much you can stay in here and reflect on it the closet was small and dark
15:55no don't lock me in here you know i have claustrophobia ethan please stay in there and watch
16:04closet door slammed shut plunging me into the total darkness the sounds of their coupling grunts and
16:10moans echoed in the suffocating blackness amplified and inescapable the next morning
16:14ethan came downstairs and called out by habit corinne make breakfast there was no answer the nanny
16:21reported timidly alpha the young master won't stop crying he spiked a fever last night 102 degrees and
16:28just kept crying for his mommy just then the living room phone rang ethan answered it a stranger's voice
16:35was on the line hello am i speaking to a relative of miss corinne this is saint mary's hospital we're
16:41calling about her grandmother's final arrangements the woman passed away during the night we were unable
16:46to revive her but no family has come to claim the body he suddenly remembered last night the phone
16:52call he had dismissed as a lie his face went pale he turned and bolted up the stairs with a
16:58trembling
16:59hand he wrenched open the closet door the moment the door swung open he froze the locker was empty
17:05nothing but a few bloodstains and a broken rope she got out on her own she's really selling it ethan
17:12muttered to himself even bled for the part he was convinced this was all an elaborate act a sob story
17:18cooked up by corinne and her grandmother the goal was obvious to make him take back his decision to
17:23reject her to welcome the unfaithful woman back into his arms he truly underestimated a human's
17:29cunning ethan picked up his spare phone and dialed corinne's number the number you have dialed has been
17:37switched off switched off so she's going all the way with this act he gave a cold smirk and decided
17:43to drive to the hospital himself to see what kind of game they were playing half an hour later ethan
17:47stood at the entrance to saint mary's hospital morgue the sharp sting of disinfectant couldn't
17:52mask the cloying scent of death he wrinkled his nose alpha what are you doing here the doctor rushed
17:58over as soon as he saw him you called earlier about corinne's grandmother the doctor sighed a sudden
18:04dark premonition washed over ethan last night the old woman heard that corinne was going to be
18:10expelled from the pack she became hysterical crying and repeating things like i'm dragging corinne down
18:16and i shouldn't be alive ethan's voice was calm and and then we found her she'd swallowed a massive dose
18:26of sleeping pills when the nurse wasn't looking we worked on her for four straight hours we almost had
18:33her stabilized but her will to live was just gone she just kept calling miss corinne's name if corinne
18:42had been here then maybe what maybe we could have saved her the doctor said shaking his head with
18:48regret ethan's fingers curled into fists he remembered smashing corinne's phone on the floor
18:53last night he remembered locking her in that cramped dark locker are you sure she's gone of course we're
19:00sure the death certificate has already been issued we need the family to handle the arrangements and
19:05claim the body ethan felt a wave of dizziness so strong he had to brace himself against the wall to
19:10keep from falling if her grandmother was really dead then that phone call last night alpha please tell
19:16corinne this for me before her grandmother she kept saying don't blame corina it's all my fault for
19:24holding her back when i'm dead she'll finally be free it felt like a fist had closed around ethan's
19:31heart squeezing tight who who told her grandmother about the expulsion only one person has visited her
19:39these past few days your beta selena selene so she was here no wonder it felt so wrong corinne would
19:49never have told her ailing grandmother something so devastating he staggered back a step suddenly he
19:56heard corinne's desperate cries from the night before she was injured by a rogue wolf to save leo
20:03his mind flashed back to that night two years ago leo had playfully snuck out of the manor only to
20:09run
20:09into a vicious rogue wolf it was corinne's grandmother who had thrown herself in front of the child
20:14taking the claws to her stomach the attack had damaged her internal organs leaving her bedridden
20:19and frail ever since corinne had been heartbroken and he had held her hand swearing he would treat
20:25her grandmother like his own family from that day on he had broken his promise he had let the woman
20:31who saved his son die alone and in despair a wave of fear and guilt stronger than anything he had
20:36ever
20:36felt crashed over him alpha are you all right the doctor asked looking with concern at ethan's pale face
20:42ethan didn't answer he just turned and bolted from the morgue he had to get home when he sped back
20:49to
20:49the villa he found leo crying at the top of the stairs the four-year-old's face was flushed with
20:54fever as he sat helplessly on the floor mommy i want my mommy leo's sobs were heart-wrenching
21:00the nanny stood beside him wringing her hands the young master keeps asking for his mother he won't even
21:06take his medicine the moment leo saw ethan he ran to him daddy where's mommy why isn't she back
21:13looking at leo's fever flushed face a storm of emotions churned inside ethan i want mommy where is
21:20she mommy mommy had to go out for a bit she'll be back soon ethan said the words feeling like
21:29ash in his
21:29mouth in that moment he didn't know if he was lying to leo or to himself he didn't even know
21:35where
21:35corinne was hearing this leo suddenly balled his small fists in anger it's all because she's human
21:41it's all her fault if only she wasn't a human but as soon as the words were out the little
21:47boy broke
21:47into choked sobs again but but i want my mommy daddy when is mommy coming back does she not want
21:54me
21:54anymore he remembered a time when corinne would dissolve into tears at the first sign of a sniffle
21:59from leo she'd hold vigil by his crib all night no matter how exhausted she was back when he was
22:05just
22:05a toddler leo had been her little shadow clinging to her leg and crying for mommy if she was out
22:10of
22:10his sight for even a second mom but somewhere along the line everything had changed leo began to treat
22:17her love like a meal he craved yet was disgusted by i wish auntie celia was my mommy corinne had
22:23just
22:23broken tears streamed down her face silent and unending and he lost in his own fog of perceived
22:30betrayal had offered no comfort he twisted the knife compared to celia you're not fit to be his
22:37mother anyway after that as leo's cruel words became more frequent current's heartbreak slowly hardened
22:42into a quiet numbness the barbs stopped hurting her now remembering the ghost of those tears in
22:49current's eyes and seeing that same awful conflict mirrored in his own son ethan's heart felt like it was
22:53being torn in two who the hell had poisoned a four-year-old's heart to twist love into such
22:57hateful knots he handed leo over to a maid and walked into his study alone the mate rejection papers
23:04were still on his desk corinne's handprint was a glaring red stain on the page the space for the
23:09alpha's signature was still empty he had never intended to sign them he thought corinne was just
23:14throwing a tantrum but in a few days she'd be back on her knees crying and begging him for forgiveness
23:19like she always did but this time she had actually left she'd left so cleanly as if their four years
23:26together had been nothing the thought filled ethan with anger but underneath it something else was
23:31stirring panic he picked up his phone and sent corinne a text i've had someone handle your
23:36grandmother's funeral arrangements no reply he sent another leo has a fever he won't stop crying for you
23:45still nothing the minutes ticked by ethan sat in his study staring at the phone screen a feeling of
23:52desperate urgency growing inside him he had never waited this anxiously for a message from anyone
23:57just then a terrified scream came from outside alpha the young master has collapsed ethan shot out of
24:06the study and saw leo lying limply on the floor his small face crimson his eyes closed he was unconscious
24:12he roared scooping his son up quick get the pack doctor the heat radiating from the boy's body sent
24:18a fresh wave of terror through him auntie selena said mommy's a lowly human while they waited for the
24:25doctor leo started muttering in his sleep that grandma's a burden she said if i scratch mommy
24:33she'll get sent away and i can have a new werewolf mommy the little boy's voice was weak and broken
24:40she said the other cubs laugh at me because my mom's a human that she's an embarrassment to our
24:47family if mommy leaves no one will laugh at me anymore ethan's hands clenched into fists his nails
24:55digging into his palms every word was a hammer blow to ethan's heart so that was it selene had
25:02orchestrated all of it but but grandma isn't a burden grandma was nice to me she made me cookies
25:10mommy mommy i'm sorry please don't leave me i won't ever say you're a bad human again please come
25:18back auntie selena lied to me she said a new mommy would love me more but i only want my
25:25mommy ethan's
25:26eyes burned he finally understood why leo had acted so strangely toward corinne a child not even five years
25:32old manipulated by an adult's malice forced to choose between loving his mother and despising her
25:37and he the boy's father had not only failed to protect his son and his mate but had allowed it
25:42all to happen daddy why doesn't mommy want me anymore is it because i scratched her with my claws
25:49it must have hurt a lot i'll never do it again mommy come back i'll forget all the bad things
25:56auntie
25:56selena told me to say he finally understood why corinne had been so resolute about not wanting leo
26:02that day because she had lost all hope in her son too that's why even now with leo so sick
26:07it wouldn't be enough to bring her back ethan couldn't help but wonder what about him had
26:12corinne given up on him completely too the pack doctor arrived quickly and began treating leo
26:22alpha i heard leo was sick how is he is it serious she said trying to step closer ethan took
26:28a step back
26:29selena tell me what did you teach leo selene's eyes flickered with panic alpha i don't understand what
26:35you mean you don't understand ethan stared at her deceitful face his rage finally boiling over lowly
26:41human a burden of a grandmother who taught a four-year-old child words like that selene stammered
26:48trying to find an excuse i was only only what ethan stalked toward her
26:55only encouraging a cub not yet five years old to attack his own mother with his claws only telling
27:00him that if he hurt his mother she'd be cost out so he could have a better whale wolf stepmother
27:07alpha i i did it for leo's own good a human is not fit to be the luna of a
27:12wolf pack for leo's good
27:14you twisted him up with so much guilt and longing that he passed out crying for his mother in his
27:18sleep you call that for his own good ethan please let me explain i truly love you i only want
27:23to get
27:24out as of this moment you are no longer my beta and don't you ever let me see you again
27:28selene
27:28stared at him in disbelief you're casting me out for that human ethan i've given so many years to the
27:34river pack your contributions your contributions were to destroy my family manipulate my child and
27:40drive my mate's grandmother to her death get out selene stumbled backward her eyes filled with a
27:45toxic mix of disbelief and resentment but against the absolute authority of an alpha she had no
27:51choice but to turn and leave ethan leaned weakly against the wall he thought about the night before
27:56how he'd been so provoked by corinne's words that he had impulsively slept with selene looking back now
28:01he realized he hadn't been punishing corinne he had only defiled himself he immediately dialed the
28:06number of his most trusted subordinate marcus i need you to reinvestigate at every detail of corinne's
28:12three past infidelities find those three men i want to know exactly what happened alpha you suspect i
28:17suspect i've been played for a fool for four years if selene was capable of doing this to leo then
28:24none of
28:24the evidence she provided can be trusted get on it now i want the truth after hanging up he sent
28:30another
