Short filmTranscript
00:00A year before Cain became Alpha of the Blood Flank Pack, I broke up with him.
00:03He crushed the uprising, became the youngest Alpha in the North,
00:07then used every trick he had to keep me by his side.
00:09Everyone said I was his soft spot, the only one he was ever gentle with.
00:13Then he started bringing other women home.
00:15Every night, someone knew. They'd rub it in my face.
00:18I became a joke. I didn't cry, didn't fight.
00:20I blocked our mate bond, stayed in the attic, and never disturbed his fun.
00:24That made him furious. He pinned me down, kissed me hard.
00:28You're not even jealous?
00:29He didn't know I was sick. My wolf was dying inside me.
00:32While he was busy hurting me, I was counting the days I had left.
00:35The first time I saw Selina was on my birthday.
00:38I had just walked out of the pack's healing ward.
00:40The healer told me my wolf had entered its final stage of fading.
00:43I had about ten days left, shorter than I thought.
00:46I wasn't afraid of dying. I was afraid of the pain.
00:49The wolf withering inside me, inch by inch, like ice cracking through bone.
00:53The healer mentioned a drug called Moonstone Essence.
00:56It could stabilize my wolf temporarily, ease the pain, buy me time one treatment cost $100,000.
01:02Ten days of treatment, one million. A million dollars.
01:06Nothing to Kane, alpha of the blood-flang pack.
01:08But to me, it was impossible. A price I could never pay.
01:12So I had to ask Kane.
01:13That's when I met Selina, his personal assistant, the pack's legal consultant.
01:18She wasn't a wolf. She looked me up and down with disgust.
01:20So this is Kane's wife? People say I look like her. How? She's ugly.
01:25I caught my reflection in the glass. Thin. Pale.
01:28And the worst part? My eyes had lost the golden glow of the wolf.
01:32They looked like two cloudy marbles.
01:34She was right. I looked awful.
01:35A young she-wolf tugged at Selina's sleeve and whispered,
01:38Careful. Don't pick a fight just because the alpha favors you right now.
01:41You don't know how much he loves her.
01:43If you mess with her, he'll bury you himself.
01:46Selina rolled her eyes. She didn't buy it.
01:48If an alpha truly loved his fated mate, why would he bring a different woman home every night?
01:53Iris, if Kane really loved you, why would he make you wait so long?
01:57He never makes me wait. He says I matter more than anything.
02:00She smiled with the kind of confidence that glowed from every inch of her.
02:04Honestly, she reminded me of myself when I was younger.
02:07Kane did treat her differently.
02:08He always had women around him.
02:10He used them as weapons to test me, to provoke me.
02:13But he never kept any of them long.
02:15His longest fling lasted two months.
02:16His shortest, a few days.
02:18Then he'd lose interest.
02:20Selina was different.
02:21She was the only one who stayed.
02:22If you really matter that much, why are you still the other woman?
02:25Someone he can't even acknowledge?
02:27Instead of coming after me, why don't you use your time convincing him to break our mate bond?
02:31The one who isn't loved is the real third wheel.
02:33You're old and ugly.
02:35What makes you think you can even compare to me?
02:36Don't think I don't know.
02:37You and your wolf are dying.
02:39You can't even shift anymore.
02:40And Kane, he doesn't care.
02:41He blocked your mate bond a long time ago.
02:43So why are you still sitting in the Luna's seat?
02:45Her words were sharp and mostly true.
02:46My wolf had faded too far for me to shift.
02:48But she got one thing wrong.
02:50Kane didn't block our bond.
02:51I did.
02:52The young she-wolf worried I'd get angry.
02:53Grabbed Selina's arm and tried to pull her away.
02:55I didn't care.
02:56I had already decided I wouldn't be sad over him.
02:59I wouldn't fight another woman for him.
03:01He wasn't worth it.
03:02Selina could have steadened herself, but her body tipped backward and she fell hard to the ground.
03:06Kane saw her through the glass wall of the conference room.
03:09He stopped the meeting mid-sentence, walked out, scooped her into his arms, and checked her for injuries.
03:17Who did this?
03:19His alpha era crashed down like a mountain.
03:21The low-ranking she-wolf went white with fear.
03:23I knew he would never lay a fander on me.
03:25So I stepped forward.
03:26I did.
03:27So what?
03:28She had it coming.
03:29Selina curled into Kane's arms, face full of hurt.
03:32She cried.
03:32You're right.
03:33I brought this on myself.
03:34I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have.
03:36I deserve to be humiliated.
03:38I deserve to be called a homewrecker.
03:40But as long as you need me, I'll stay by your side forever.
03:42No one can take me away from you.
03:44She cried so prettily.
03:46Even saying something that absurd, she sounded brave and sure of herself.
03:50Kane actually laughed.
03:52There, there.
03:54Look at you.
03:55Crying like a little kitten.
03:57He really was different with her.
04:00Today's my birthday.
04:02I want one million dollars.
04:04Yes, all I wanted was enough to pay for the treatment.
04:07To ease the pain in my final days.
04:10Everyone in the pack knew.
04:11Even though I was his wife, the Luna of this pack.
04:14Every time I needed money or resources, I had to ask him for it.
04:18That was our deal before the bond.
04:20He wanted me.
04:21I wanted his money.
04:22Kane always hated that about me.
04:24Hated that I only loved money, not him.
04:26But in the past, no matter how much I asked for, he gave it without hesitation.
04:30This time, he smiled coldly.
04:32You want money?
04:33Fine.
04:34Apologize to Selena first.
04:36Kane wanted to spend a million dollars to buy my dignity, to purchase an apology for Selena.
04:42This was the first time he had ever used money to humiliate me for another woman.
04:46Maybe my emotions triggered something.
04:48The dying wolf inside me caroused in agony.
04:51Pain exploded up my spine.
04:53I could almost hear my own bones splintering.
04:56I dug my nails into my palms and forced the scream back down into my gut.
05:01I smiled.
05:04Keep the money.
05:05And then a thought crossed my mind.
05:07Kane, if one day you find out this money could have kept me alive a little longer,
05:11if you find out how much I suffered before I died, what would your face look like?
05:16I returned to the villa alone.
05:18The agony of wolf spirit deterioration tore through me.
05:21I collapsed onto the bed, curling into a trembling knot.
05:25Since I couldn't afford the moonstone essence, I had to dig through the cabinets for a pouch
05:30of slumberweed.
05:31Maybe, if I forced myself to sleep, the pain would be gone.
05:36The herbs pulled me under, dragging me into a dream of when I was sixteen.
05:41Back then, Kane had nothing.
05:43His grandfather had died unexpectedly, plunging the territory into civil war.
05:47The elders fractured, completely isolating Kane.
05:50His accounts were frozen.
05:52He was so poor he couldn't afford a decent meal.
05:55But he loved me.
05:56On my birthday, we were too broke for a real cake.
05:58So we settled for a tiny cranberry cupcake, just a cheap one from a corner bakery.
06:02He took my hand and led me toward the display window of the pack's most exclusive boutique.
06:06He pointed at a princess birthday set, a tiara in stayed with moonstones,
06:09and a three-tiered cake decorated with gold leaf.
06:11Kane hugged me tightly from behind.
06:14One day I'm going to take back the pack.
06:16You'll be my Luna, and I swear, I'm going to give you the whole world.
06:20Only the absolute best for you.
06:22In that moment, I felt like the luckiest mate alive.
06:26Through the fog of the slumberweed, a sharp ringing pulled me back.
06:30I fumbled for my phone.
06:32Elise.
06:32A familiar voice breathed my name over the line.
06:35Kane, I want to...
06:39Elise!
06:40Elise!
06:41Hours later, the slumberweed wore off.
06:43Pain ripped me from my sleep.
06:45That was when I realized Kane was home.
06:47He hadn't been back to this villa in weeks, preferring to live in the estate he bought for
06:50Selina.
06:51Kane was leaning against the window, a glass of amber liquid in his hand.
06:54He was looking at me with a deep tenderness I hadn't seen in years.
06:56The moonlight spilled over his striking features.
06:59Right now, his gaze held none of his usual tyran or night pressure.
07:03As I stumbled past him to look for more slumberweed, Kane caught my wrist.
07:07Ilis.
07:08You've gotten so incredibly thin lately.
07:11Why?
07:11His tone was laced with concern, as if he still loved me.
07:14But I felt nothing.
07:15Not when his collar reeked of his human mistress.
07:18I snatched my hand back.
07:20That is none of your business.
07:21His face hardened.
07:23I could feel his inner wolf buckling.
07:25But he forced it down.
07:26My steps faltered as I walked into the living room.
07:28Sitting on the marble island was a lavish custom cake.
07:30Next to it were several cranberry cupcakes we used to eat.
07:33That bakery was hours away.
07:34Even running at his absolute limit, it was a four-hour trip.
07:36The phone call wasn't a dream.
07:37He had stayed awake all night to get this for me.
07:39But I was dying.
07:40I didn't need a cake anymore.
07:41Elise, are you messing with me?
07:43Kane frowned, grabbing my arm again.
07:45I didn't forget your birthday.
07:48I just...
07:48I just...
07:49He tried to explain that PAC negotiations had kept him tied up.
07:52I cut him off.
07:56You're right.
07:57I was messing with you.
07:58So what?
08:00You're pathetic.
08:01I say I want a cake and you run all the way to the border like an obedient dog.
08:04You're just as pathetic now as you were back then.
08:07I brought it up on purpose.
08:09It was the memory Kane wanted dead.
08:11At 16, his grandfather passed, and a PAC rebellion stripped him of everything.
08:15He fell from Alpha Air to a hunted rogue, his absolute rock bottom,
08:18when he couldn't even afford a cheap slice of cake.
08:21He grabbed my collar and yanked me against him.
08:23Then he lifted me, throwing me onto the bed.
08:24He pinned me down, kissing me hard.
08:26Kane, get off me!
08:27You're disgusting!
08:28My resistance only made him rougher.
08:30He bit my shoulder, leaving a deep mark right next to my faded mating mark.
08:34Why do you always have to push me away?
08:36I dropped everything today.
08:37I ran for hours just to get you what you wanted, and you use it to tear me apart.
08:41I stared back in silence.
08:43Neither of us surrendered.
08:44Finally, Kane let out an exhausted sigh.
08:46Elise, what am I supposed to do with you?
08:48He leaned down, his lips hovering inches from mine.
08:51A shrink ringtone shattered the silence.
08:53Kane flinched.
08:54It was Selina.
08:54He hesitated, but his hand moved to answer it.
08:56Her panicked voice echoed from the speaker.
08:58Kane, I'm at the bar alone.
09:00Some guys are trying to hit on me.
09:01Please, can you come pick me up?
09:03He didn't reply immediately.
09:04He kept his eyes locked on mine.
09:06Elise, beg me.
09:08Just ask me to stay.
09:10I looked him dead in the eyes.
09:11Kane, you're not worth it.
09:14He let out a bitter laugh, returning to the call.
09:18Selina, I'm coming.
09:20He grabbed his coat and walked out.
09:22I watched the dust settle in the room.
09:25Just nine more days.
09:26The news tore through pack circles by morning.
09:29Alpha Kane had gotten into a bar fight with a human for Selina.
09:33It was the first time the notoriously private Alpha had ever made headlines,
09:36and it was all over a woman.
09:38A swarm of paparazzi waited at my gates.
09:41The second I stepped out, cameras flashed.
09:43Luna Elis, do you have a statement on last night's incident?
09:45Did you even know about her?
09:47Watching Alpha Kane spoil his mistress, do you think you're the one to blame?
09:50I had no intention of engaging, but that last question made me halt.
09:55The only people responsible are the cheater and the homewrecker, not me.
09:58Suddenly, a human reporter shoved her way to the front.
10:01The press pass read,
10:02Nicole Scott, Urban Wolf Herald.
10:04I heard you dumped him when he was poor.
10:06Then, when he became a powerful Alpha, you schemed your way into marrying him.
10:11Now that he's found true love, you dare call her a homewrecker?
10:14Aren't you playing the victim?
10:16A human reporter?
10:17Let me guess.
10:18You're friends with Selina.
10:20Kane forced my hand in marriage.
10:21Do you honestly think I wanted to be his wife?
10:25If you didn't want the mate bond, then why don't you sign the mate rejection papers now?
10:29I opened my mouth, fully at sand intending to use this broadcast to announce my formal rejection of the mate
10:34bond.
10:35But before a word left my lips, a wave of vestrigo slammed into my brain.
10:40The world tilted.
10:42My inner wolf convulsed.
10:43Look at you, you're bleeding from sheer rage.
10:45I took a breath, using a tissue to wipe the black blood from my lip.
10:49I steadied my knees and looked at the camera.
10:51I'm not angry, I am sick.
10:53I am dying.
10:53Wolf spirit deterioration.
10:55End stage.
10:55Sometimes I bleed a little.
10:56The courtyard froze.
10:57The human reporter didn't grasp the gravity of those words.
11:00But the faces of the werewolf reporters drained of color.
11:03Every wolf knew what that meant.
11:05Less than ten days to live.
11:14Oh, come on.
11:15Playing the victim card again?
11:17By the next day, the video of me being mobbed by reporters went viral across the internet.
11:22The footage of me bleeding black blood terrifyingly calm as I stated,
11:25I am dying, was replayed millions of times.
11:27The comment section exploded.
11:29Alpha Cain issued a decree from the Bloodflank PAC.
11:32There will be no divorce.
11:33Stop harassing my wife.
11:35Within hours, the video was quietly taken down.
11:38As for Nicole, she was permanently banished from PAC territory.
11:42She even received anonymous threats,
11:44warning of dire consequences if she ever crossed me again.
11:48Some said Cain gave the order.
11:51Others claimed the PAC elders stepped in.
11:54Either way, with Cain's so-called loyalty laid bare for the world to see,
11:57I was thrust into the eye of the storm.
11:59Almost immediately, a massive wave of online hate came crashing down on me.
12:03Elise is fucking disgusting.
12:05If she didn't want him, she should have just rejected the bond.
12:08The moon goddess doesn't force anyone.
12:11First love?
12:11Please.
12:12She's just another bitch.
12:14I can't believe Cain is actually still defending her.
12:16She isn't worth it.
12:17Just then, a single comment cut through the endless greet of hate.
12:21I glanced at the profile picture.
12:24It was Daisy, my friend, and one of the very few in the PAC who officially knew the truth.
12:29That year, I was 15.
12:31Cain was 16.
12:32The PAC healer diagnosed my mother with wolf spirit deterioration.
12:35It was a genetic afflicti exclusive to the Silver Wolves.
12:38Mother said it wasn't just an illness.
12:40It was a curse.
12:41A curse her bloodline had carried for generations.
12:43It claimed her mother.
12:44It claimed her brother.
12:45They all succumbed to it.
12:47Worse, it was incurable.
12:48A fatal genetic defect passed down from generation to generation.
12:52If I ever had pups, the chances of them suffering the same fate were staggeringly high.
12:56When my mother woke up, her first words were a plea to break up with Cain.
12:59Mom!
13:00Cain loves me!
13:01He would never abandon me over a hereditary disease!
13:04I know he wouldn't abandon you, Elise, but have you thought about him?
13:07He is the Alpha Heir.
13:09One day he will carry the weight of the PAC.
13:10How can you guarantee that your children won't inherit this agonizing death?
13:13He has nothing right now.
13:15His grandfather just died.
13:16His throne was stolen.
13:17If you tie him down with this curse, you will destroy him.
13:20Mom!
13:21I don't want to lose him!
13:23My mother wept.
13:24It was the last time I ever saw her cry.
13:26Three days later, I broke up with Cain.
13:28I told him I refused to tie myself to a penniless beggar.
13:31He stood in the pouring rain, his golden eyes locked onto mine.
13:34He didn't say a single word.
13:35Then, he turned around and walked away.
13:37That was ten years ago.
13:38I was preparing to visit my mother's grave one last time.
13:42With only five days left, I needed to tell her I couldn't come back.
13:46But before that, I had to go to Cain's office.
13:49My mother had always adored Cain.
13:52She sculpted two little clay wolves for us.
13:55Their tails were curled together like a hug, symbolizing that we would never be apart.
14:00I gave the gray wolf to Cain, but he preferred the silver one.
14:05Even now, that little silver wolf still sat in his office.
14:08I was terrified that once I died, Cainan would throw it into the trash.
14:12I had to take it back.
14:15When I pushed open the doors to Cain's office, he was re-watching the video of me bleeding.
14:19When he saw me, he threw his phone aside without saying or asking anything.
14:24Where is my silver wolf statue?
14:26Oh, you mean that little silver wolf?
14:27I mentioned it was cute a few days ago, so Cainan just gave it to me.
14:30How dare you give away what's mine?
14:32The last thing my mother ever made for me.
14:34And you just tossed it to your human whore?
14:35Oh, was that yours?
14:36My bad.
14:37It's been gathering dust for so long, I just assumed it was garbage.
14:39Something inside me snapped.
14:41A blinding rage flooded my senses.
14:43Cain didn't dodge.
14:44Blood slid down his brow.
14:45Are you insane?
14:46You attacked an alpha!
14:48Selena, give it back to her.
14:51Stomping her feet in fury, Selena stormed out.
14:53A minute later, she returned.
14:54Her fist clenched around the silver wolf.
14:56She hurled it at my feet.
14:57Here, take your garbage and get out!
14:59The silver wolf slammed against the floor.
15:01The head snapped off.
15:02The carved tail shattered into three pieces.
15:05The statue was broken.
15:06And inside my chest, something vital finally snapped with it.
15:09My dying inner wolf let out a despairing howl.
15:11A sharp ringing pierced my mind.
15:13I lunged forward and slapped Selena across the face.
15:15That was the only thing my mother left me!
15:16How dare you break it!
15:17I grabbed her by the hair, ready to beat her to the ground.
15:20Suddenly, a massive hand clamped around my wrist.
15:22Cain.
15:23He stepped between us, shielding his mistress like a stone wall.
15:25I looked at my fated mate standing there, protecting another woman.
15:28And the dam finally broke.
15:29Tears flooded my vision.
15:31Cain, you know I'm dying.
15:32Why do you still have to hurt me, you absolute bastard?
15:35Seeing my despair, Cain let out a sigh.
15:37He reached out, as if to wipe the tears from my face.
15:39First it was the cupcake.
15:40Now you say you're dying?
15:41Ellis, you don't need to play the victim.
15:42Your tears won't fool me.
15:44Before he could finish, a drop of black blood fell from my chin, landing directly onto the
15:46back of his hand.
15:47Black blood.
15:47The undeniable omen of wolf spirit deterioration.
15:50The bleeding accelerated.
15:51The world faded to black.
15:52The flame of my inner wolf was abruptly blown out.
15:55Without warning, I crumpled to the floor.
15:57Cain caught me before I could hit the ground.
15:59Get the pack healers!
16:00Now!
16:00I'd never seen him panic.
16:01But now, he could only stare in horror as my black blood rapidly soaked his white shirt.
16:05I lay limp in Cain's arms.
16:06Black blood spilling from my nose and sliding down my jaw.
16:09I had never heard him sound like that.
16:10The invincible alpha of the blood flag pack was shaking.
16:12Actually shaking.
16:13As if there were a wounded pup howling inside him.
16:15Cezina stood frozen in the corner.
16:16Her lips parted.
16:17But one look from Cain stopped her cold.
16:18Murder blazed in his eyes.
16:19She stumbled back without another word.
16:21Cain scooped me up and ran.
16:23The coraways blurred.
16:24His heartbeat thundered against my cheek.
16:26Wild and unseavened ribs from the inside.
16:27He kept looking down at me as he ran.
16:29My blood smeared across his white shirt.
16:31His golden eyes but all that came out my pale face.
16:33He tried to say my name.
16:34One thought drifted through me.
16:36So he does know how to be afraid.
16:37The harsh lights of the pack inferminary stab into my eyes.
16:40Healers rushed in and transferred me onto a steel treatment bulb.
16:43Tubes.
16:43Fine needles.
16:44Glowing vials.
16:45Everything blurred.
16:46You need to wait outside.
16:47I'm not leaving.
16:47I forced my eyes open and looked at him.
16:49The face that had once been heartbreakingly handsome was now streaked with tears.
16:53He was crying.
16:53The healers flooded my veins with moonstone essence.
16:56Syringe after syringe.
16:57No hesitation.
16:58Moonlit liquid burned through my bloodstream.
17:01The pain of my inner wolf eased.
17:02The pain eased.
17:03Not gone.
17:04But I knew better.
17:05In the end stage, moonstone essence could only dull the agony.
17:08It could not save me.
17:09Kane stayed beside my bed.
17:10Three days.
17:11Three nights.
17:12No sleep.
17:13No pack affairs.
17:14No answering Selena's calls.
17:15Whenever I clawed my way back to conscious, he was there in the chair beside me,
17:19staring at me like he was terrified that one blink would lose me forever.
17:21I looked at the dark, heavy circles bruising the skin under his eyes and the rough stubble
17:26shadowing his jaw, and suddenly it all felt a little ridiculous.
17:30Kane, you know I'm dying.
17:32You are not dying.
17:34I've already ordered the pack healers to source the best medicine from across the globe.
17:38You'll have all the moonstone essence you need.
17:40I'll hire the greatest pack healers alive.
17:43It's no use.
17:44The end stage of the wolf spirit deterioration.
17:47You know what that means.
17:49There is no cure.
17:50His eyes went completely bloodshut.
17:52He shot to his feet.
17:53The heavy chair shed backward onto the floor with a violent thud.
17:55When did you find out?
17:56Why didn't you tell me sooner?
17:58I let the silence stretch for a moment before I answered.
18:00I've known for a long time my mother died of the exact same illness.
18:04You should remember that.
18:05Of course he remembered this.
18:07Back then, I walked away from him right after her diagnosis.
18:10My mother was terrified I would drag him down.
18:13Terrified our future children would inherit the cursed genes.
18:16She forced me to leave him.
18:17All he knew was that I had suddenly turned on him.
18:20I don't love you anymore.
18:21I'm not spending my life with a penniless loser.
18:24He had hated me for ten years for that.
18:26That one million.
18:28When you asked me for a million dollars that day, it was to pay for the medicine?
18:32I didn't answer.
18:33My silence was all the confirmation he needed.
18:35A violent crack.
18:36His fist slammed into the wall.
18:38That a crack spider webbed across the solid plaster.
18:41Thick blood beginning from his torn knuckles.
18:44Why didn't you tell me?
18:44Why did you mute the mate bond?
18:46Why did you third and shut me out?
18:48You would rather die than tell me the truth?
18:50Elise, did you feel nothing at all?
18:52I looked at his furious, agonized face.
18:55Suddenly, I smiled.
18:57Because if the mate bond was still open, it would hurt you.
18:59My inner wolf is dying piece by piece.
19:02That agony would crawl right through the mate bond.
19:04It would force you to feel every second of it.
19:06You couldn't handle that can.
19:07And neither could I.
19:08Not the physical pain, but the thought of making you suffer through it with me.
19:11So I muted the mate bond.
19:13I carried it alone.
19:14His expression went completely slack.
19:16It was like someone had driven a blade straight into his chest.
19:18Besides, even if the bond was open, even if I told you, would you have believed me?
19:24I told you I was dying, and you said I was playing the victim.
19:27I asked you for money, and you told me to apologize to Selina first.
19:31He looked like I'd hit him.
19:32He stood there, completely gutted.
19:34I kept my face turned towards the cold wall so incredibly tired,
19:38and I never wanted to look into his eyes again.
