00:00:00When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.
00:00:06And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me was reach out and gently touch my face.
00:00:12My little wolf, as long as you're safe.
00:00:15That was the moment everything changed, for the first time.
00:00:19I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking everything for.
00:00:27The walls around my heart cracked open for him.
00:00:30The wound from the silver never fully healed.
00:00:33It left behind a permanent circular scar.
00:00:36Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
00:00:42For five years, he never wavered.
00:00:46He treated me with the same devotion, the same care, as if I were the only one who mattered.
00:00:52Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.
00:00:58And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real.
00:01:03Something more.
00:01:05I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the mate
00:01:11ritual.
00:01:12If it failed, I would have died.
00:01:15But I survived.
00:01:17Not only that.
00:01:19I gained something rare.
00:01:21Empathic sense.
00:01:22I decided to keep it a secret.
00:01:25I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
00:01:28But on the very day I awakened.
00:01:31Everything fell apart.
00:01:33Through that new ability.
00:01:35I sensed him.
00:01:37Cain.
00:01:37Talking to his beta pet.
00:01:40Their voices were intimate.
00:01:42Careless.
00:01:43Filled with open flirtation.
00:01:45That was when I learned the truth.
00:01:47He had already betrayed our bond.
00:01:50For an entire year.
00:01:52And I had known nothing.
00:01:54A sharp pain twisted through my chest.
00:01:57Forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.
00:02:01His words from earlier echoed in my mind.
00:02:04Over and over again.
00:02:06Even with the mate ceremony approaching.
00:02:08He had no intention of ending that relationship.
00:02:11Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?
00:02:16The winter wind cut through me.
00:02:18Cold and merciless.
00:02:20But my mind had never been clearer.
00:02:23I would show Cain the truth.
00:02:25Lies don't last forever.
00:02:27And I would never forgive betrayal.
00:02:34I took a slow breath.
00:02:36Forcing down the ache in my chest.
00:02:38Just as I was about to head back.
00:02:41A pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
00:02:44Cain's sense surrounded me at once.
00:02:47Rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.
00:02:49It pressed in from all sides.
00:02:51Leaving no space to breathe.
00:02:53Little wolf.
00:02:54Why didn't you wait for me?
00:02:56Are you in a bad mood today?
00:02:57Then let me take you to see your mate dress.
00:03:00The custom piece just arrived.
00:03:02He pulled me into his arms.
00:03:04His hands sliding up to the back of my neck.
00:03:07Gently stroking the spot where his marking remained.
00:03:09I don't feel like going.
00:03:11Just pick it yourself.
00:03:12I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.
00:03:15There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.
00:03:18Cain seemed to sense the distance in my tone.
00:03:21His voice softened.
00:03:23Almost cautious.
00:03:24Little wolf.
00:03:25Why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?
00:03:28Do you not want to bond with me anymore?
00:03:30I looked at him at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.
00:03:34I almost told him the truth.
00:03:37Yes.
00:03:38I don't want this anymore.
00:03:40You were the one who betrayed us first.
00:03:42You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.
00:03:45You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.
00:03:50And now you're asking me why?
00:03:52But I wasn't ready to expose everything.
00:03:55Not yet.
00:03:56At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside, an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress
00:04:02prepared in advance.
00:04:04Miss, the gown alpha Cain had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.
00:04:07Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.
00:04:10The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous.
00:04:14Moonstones were set into the bodice, casting a soft, sacred glow.
00:04:19Cain wrapped an arm around my waist.
00:04:22My little wolf?
00:04:23Do you like it?
00:04:24I couldn't deny it.
00:04:26The design was exactly my taste.
00:04:29But no matter how beautiful it was.
00:04:33It couldn't mend what had already been broken.
00:04:36Look closer.
00:04:37Cain said softly.
00:04:39At the center of the moonstone.
00:04:40I followed his gaze.
00:04:42Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.
00:04:45A and K.
00:04:47Forever.
00:04:48The moon goddess is our witness.
00:04:50He murmured.
00:04:51My love for you will last forever too.
00:04:53I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart.
00:04:57Then I turned to him and met his eyes.
00:04:59Eyes filled with something that looked like love.
00:05:02Will your love for me really last forever?
00:05:04A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.
00:05:09I Cain.
00:05:10Swear that I will love Aria forever.
00:05:12For my entire life.
00:05:13If I break this oath, may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.
00:05:18Such a solemn vow.
00:05:20And yet it couldn't warm a heart that had already gone cold.
00:05:23He had already broken it.
00:05:25And still, he kept acting.
00:05:28Didn't he get tired?
00:05:30I turned my face away, unwilling to look at him any longer.
00:05:34Cain seemed about to say something else, but his phone suddenly rang.
00:05:38His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer.
00:05:44When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.
00:05:48Little Wolf, something urgent just came up.
00:05:50Go ahead and try the dress.
00:05:52If anything needs adjusting, just tell the staff.
00:05:54He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.
00:05:58I watched his retreating figure, the bitter thought settling in.
00:06:02Cain had never walked away from me for pack business.
00:06:05And just before he left, I had caught it.
00:06:09That flicker in his eyes.
00:06:11Raw, instinctive desire.
00:06:13Work?
00:06:14Hardly.
00:06:15He was going to see her.
00:06:19When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.
00:06:23The slight dip in the mattress.
00:06:25The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla and lingering scent, thick with unmistakable desire.
00:06:31The thought hit me all at once.
00:06:34Cain and that beta had been here.
00:06:36On this bed.
00:06:38Entwined.
00:06:39My stomach twisted violently.
00:06:41I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop.
00:06:45Cain had just come back.
00:06:47The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.
00:06:51Little Wolf, did you eat something bad?
00:06:54I'll call a healer right now.
00:06:55I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red.
00:06:58I'm fine, I just thought of something disgusting.
00:07:02Cain dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
00:07:08Don't think about things like that.
00:07:10Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
00:07:14I looked down at him.
00:07:15At the open collar of his shirt.
00:07:18And the marks on his skin.
00:07:20Bite marks.
00:07:21Fresh.
00:07:23Obvious.
00:07:24Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.
00:07:27How strong did Cain have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body
00:07:30and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about.
00:07:34His voice grew sharper, more agitated.
00:07:37Who did this to you?
00:07:38Who made my little wolf like this?
00:07:40Tell me, I'll tear them apart!
00:07:43A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
00:07:46Cain, you're the one who did this to me.
00:07:49Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl.
00:07:54Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.
00:07:58But the bed was empty.
00:08:00I sat up and went downstairs.
00:08:03As I reached the second floor, I heard it.
00:08:06A woman's breathless voice.
00:08:09Soft.
00:08:10Broken.
00:08:11I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest.
00:08:17Then walked toward the guest room.
00:08:20The door was wide open.
00:08:22Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.
00:08:26Inside, Cain was bare from the waist up.
00:08:30The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.
00:08:33The long skirt pushed up to her waist.
00:08:35Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.
00:08:40Ack, her voice unsteady.
00:08:42Alfer, the dress I just got today.
00:08:45You already tore it?
00:08:47Cain let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
00:08:52You wore it for me, didn't you?
00:08:54I even had the designer make one just for you.
00:08:57So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?
00:09:01She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
00:09:05Alpha, I can't, I can't take any more.
00:09:09Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
00:09:14What if Aria sees us?
00:09:16Cain stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
00:09:20She's useless.
00:09:21She doesn't understand anything.
00:09:23Don't you dare tell her about us.
00:09:25The beta traced circles against his chest.
00:09:28Her tone soft, almost hurt.
00:09:31I know.
00:09:32I just...
00:09:34She's about to become your mate.
00:09:35And I'll always have to stay hidden.
00:09:38It makes me sad.
00:09:40Cain's expression softens slightly.
00:09:43You jealous little thing.
00:09:44I already brought you into this house.
00:09:47Isn't that enough?
00:09:48Don't worry.
00:09:50Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you.
00:09:53Whatever Aria has, you'll have too.
00:09:55Moonlight lit up my face where I stood outside the door.
00:09:58I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.
00:10:03Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades, carving wound after wound into my chest.
00:10:09I turned and ran.
00:10:11Barefoot, straight out into the rain.
00:10:14Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.
00:10:17I just needed to get away.
00:10:20As far away as possible.
00:10:22Through the haze, I thought I saw him.
00:10:25A younger Cain.
00:10:26The one I had once loved.
00:10:29His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.
00:10:33Little wolf.
00:10:34Leave him.
00:10:36Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore.
00:10:39And never forgive him.
00:10:41My vision burned as I looked at that memory.
00:10:44At the alpha I had once given my heart to.
00:10:48Okay?
00:10:48I whispered.
00:10:51I will leave you, and I will never forgive you.
00:10:55I didn't make it back until dawn.
00:10:58The moment I lay down, Cain slipped quietly into the room.
00:11:02He moved carefully, just like always, pulling the blanket over me before drawing me into his arms.
00:11:08His lips brushed softly against my forehead.
00:11:11Little wolf.
00:11:12I really do love you.
00:11:14In three days, you'll become my mate.
00:11:17We'll be together forever.
00:11:19I once saw a line online.
00:11:21When an alpha suddenly becomes gentle, it is usually guilt after betrayal.
00:11:26I never understood it before.
00:11:28Now I did.
00:11:30More than anything, I just wanted time to move faster.
00:11:34I wanted the day I left to come sooner.
00:11:36When I woke up, Cain and the beta were already downstairs having breakfast.
00:11:41The moment he saw me, Cain stood and pulled out a chair for me.
00:11:45He watched as I calmly finished my meal.
00:11:48Then guilt flickered across his face.
00:11:51Little wolf.
00:11:52I have to leave for a few days on short notice.
00:11:57For the mate ceremony, just work with the planner.
00:11:59I'll be back as soon as I can.
00:12:00After the ceremony, I'll make it up to you.
00:12:01After the ceremony, I'll make it up to you.
00:12:03Wherever you want to go for our honeymoon, I'll take you.
00:12:05I already knew the truth.
00:12:06This wasn't a trip.
00:12:08He was going to take care of her.
00:12:10But I didn't care anymore.
00:12:12I simply nodded.
00:12:14Just before he walked out the door, I called his name one last time.
00:12:19Cain.
00:12:20He paused, then turned back.
00:12:22His expression softening as he reached out to cut my face.
00:12:25Can't bear to see me go, little wolf.
00:12:27Once we complete the mate bond.
00:12:29Can't bear to see me go, little wolf.
00:12:31It's only a few days.
00:12:33From outside, the beta called out to him.
00:12:36Cain leaned in, kissed my cheek, and left in a hurry.
00:12:40I stood there, watching his retreating figure.
00:12:43This was probably the last time I would ever see him.
00:12:48Not long after Cain and the beta left, I received a message from her.
00:12:52Miss Arya, you sensed everything last night, didn't you?
00:12:57I didn't expect you to be this good at holding it in.
00:13:00Cain already promised to spend the next few days with me.
00:13:04Imagine that, your future mate staying with another wolf right before your ceremony.
00:13:08You might be the most pathetic woman in the world.
00:13:12I didn't reply.
00:13:14Instead, I told the servants to gather everything in the villa that belonged to me and pilot in the backyard.
00:13:20Once everything was brought out, I lit a fire.
00:13:23I stood there in silence, watching five years of memories burn away piece by piece.
00:13:28When the last corner turned to ash, another message came from the beta.
00:13:33This time, it was a photo.
00:13:35A pregnancy test report.
00:13:38Well, looks like I'm really pregnant.
00:13:41Cain's first pup.
00:13:43He's so excited.
00:13:44I still didn't respond.
00:13:46I took out the mate dress and, with my claws, tore it apart piece by piece.
00:13:51This dress, created for me, no longer had any meaning.
00:13:56On the day I was leaving, she sent one last message.
00:14:00Cain is going to complete a mate bond with me.
00:14:03He said he'll give me the same ceremony.
00:14:06He won't let me or the child suffer.
00:14:09Miss Arya, you should know your place and give up the Luna position.
00:14:14Cain doesn't love you anymore.
00:14:16This time, I replied, I hope your dream comes true soon.
00:14:20After that, I pulled up the villa's surveillance footage.
00:14:24It wasn't just once.
00:14:26Cain had brought her back here again and again, chasing excitement.
00:14:30I copied the videos and sent them to the ceremony planner.
00:14:34This is a surprise I prepared for Cain.
00:14:37Make sure it's played during the ceremony.
00:14:40Keep it confidential.
00:14:41Once everything was arranged, my phone rang.
00:14:45Cain, there was a trace of apology on his face.
00:14:52Little wolf, things here aren't finished yet.
00:14:56I won't be back until tomorrow morning.
00:14:59Don't worry, I'll make it before the ceremony.
00:15:02I let out a soft laugh.
00:15:04Okay, I've prepared a surprise for you at the ceremony.
00:15:08My little wolf prepared something for me?
00:15:11I can't wait.
00:15:14Little wolf, I've waited five years for you to become my mate.
00:15:18Tomorrow, when you finally become my Luna, I'm so happy.
00:15:22His voice cut off abruptly.
00:15:24His body stiffened for a split second, and a suppressed breath escaped him.
00:15:28A trace of cold mockery flickered in my eyes.
00:15:32Cain, I hope you like the surprise.
00:15:36I hung up before he could respond and walked out of the villa.
00:15:39The car from the fake death agency was already waiting outside.
00:15:43At the airport, I typed a few final lines on my phone before handing it to the staff.
00:15:48Tomorrow, deliver this phone along with the body to the Alpha.
00:15:54Tell him I died at six in the evening.
00:15:57And that I left him a final message.
00:16:00Miss Phoenix, we will erase all surveillance along your route.
00:16:05We wish you a safe journey, and a happy life ahead.
00:16:09Phoenix, the name I chose for myself.
00:16:12A symbol of rising from the ashes.
00:16:15Of leaving everything behind.
00:16:17After today, my life would begin again.
00:16:20At the Beta's house, the woman was still softly begging when Cain finally let her go.
00:16:26He caught her wrist, his voice rough.
00:16:28You're pregnant, and still acting like this?
00:16:32I was just worried you might be holding back too much.
00:16:39Jealous, aren't you?
00:16:40She huffed and turned her face away.
00:16:45You're completing a mate bond with Aria tomorrow.
00:16:47Am I not allowed to feel anything about that?
00:16:55Cain's expression darkened.
00:16:57He released her hand and looked down at her from above, his voice edged with warning.
00:17:02As long as you don't cause trouble in front of me.
00:17:05I can spoil you however I want.
00:17:07But if you forget your place.
00:17:10Her expression shifted.
00:17:12She hadn't expected that even carrying his pup wouldn't change his tone.
00:17:18But she knew how to read the situation.
00:17:25Alpha, I understand.
00:17:28I never intended to compete with Miss Aria for the Luna position.
00:17:32Cain pulled her back into his arms.
00:17:35Good.
00:17:36Don't overthink it.
00:17:37After the honeymoon, I'll spend a full week with you.
00:17:40And don't worry.
00:17:42Even after the mate bond, I won't neglect you or the child.
00:17:46The next day, the mate ceremony.
00:17:50Cain stood at the center of the stage, dressed impeccably.
00:17:53A white rose in his hand.
00:17:55Below him, guests filled the venue.
00:17:58Cameras from major media outlets broadcasting the event live across the world.
00:18:02At exactly 12 noon, the ceremony began.
00:18:06Cain's palms were damp with sweat.
00:18:08But the doors remained closed.
00:18:10A murmur spread through the crowd.
00:18:13Just as Cain reached for his phone, the host stepped forward.
00:18:17Ladies and gentlemen, and our Alpha, thank you for your patience.
00:18:21Our Luna mentioned yesterday that she prepared a special surprise.
00:18:24So, we've added an extra segment to today's ceremony.
00:18:28Cain relaxed slightly.
00:18:30So, this was the surprise I had mentioned.
00:18:33Please direct your attention to the main screen.
00:18:37All eyes lifted.
00:18:39Cain smiled faintly, anticipation in his gaze.
00:18:42But the next second, everything changed.
00:18:46Who are they?
00:18:47How dare they disrupt Alpha Cain's ceremony?
00:18:51Turn it off!
00:18:53Shut it down right now!
00:18:57His roar tore through the hall.
00:18:59The host rushed backstage, trying to stop the video, but the system had frozen.
00:19:05Nothing responded.
00:19:07Oh my god, that's Alpha Cain.
00:19:09Did he betray the mate bond?
00:19:12Wasn't he supposed to only love Aria?
00:19:14What is this?
00:19:16So he's just another Alpha who can't control himself.
00:19:19I can't believe I ever thought he was perfect.
00:19:22Cain immediately ordered the stream and screen to be shut down, then grabbed the microphone.
00:19:28No one is allowed to speak of this.
00:19:31Not a word.
00:19:32Someone muttered under their breath.
00:19:35Didn't they say this was Aria's surprise?
00:19:38Maybe she already knew.
00:19:40Cain's face went pale.
00:19:42That was the one possibility he refused to accept.
00:19:45He clung to the belief that I was oblivious.
00:19:51That I never checked the surveillance.
00:19:54That as long as no one said anything, I would never know.
00:19:57But I still hadn't appeared.
00:19:59And now, panic began to take hold.
00:20:02He pulled out his phone and sent a message.
00:20:05Little wolf, are you here?
00:20:07One minute.
00:20:09Two minutes.
00:20:10No reply.
00:20:11His hands began to sweat as he prepared to call.
00:20:15Then, slowly, the doors to the hall opened.
00:20:18Every head turned.
00:20:20Hope lit up Cain's face.
00:20:22He thought his little wolf had finally arrived.
00:20:25The video had already been dealt with.
00:20:28Holding the bouquet, he stepped forward, ready to welcome his mate.
00:20:32He began to extend his hand.
00:20:35And then he froze.
00:20:36The ones entering were not the woman he had been waiting for.
00:20:40It was a group of staff dressed in black.
00:20:44Behind them, they carried a coffin.
00:20:47Rage ignited in Cain's eyes.
00:20:49One of the staff stepped forward, sympathy written across his face.
00:20:53Alpha Cain, your mate took her own life yesterday.
00:20:57Please accept our condolences.
00:20:59Cain didn't believe a word of it.
00:21:01Just yesterday, we had spoken.
00:21:03I had sounded completely fine.
00:21:06How could I be dead?
00:21:08He let out a cold laugh.
00:21:11The video wasn't enough.
00:21:13So now you're making up lies about my mate's death?
00:21:16Tell me, who sent you?
00:21:18The staff member's expression grew even more sympathetic.
00:21:22He gestured toward the coffin.
00:21:24If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself.
00:21:27Cain laughed again, anger sharpening his voice.
00:21:30Fine, let's see what kind of trick you're trying to pull.
00:21:35He strode toward the coffin.
00:21:37Aria.
00:21:43He stumbled forward, dropping to his knees beside the coffin,
00:21:47his hands trembling as he searched for even the slightest difference between the person inside and me.
00:21:51His gaze moved inch by inch.
00:21:54But there was no difference.
00:21:56The woman lying there was me.
00:21:59The same Aria who had been by his side for five years.
00:22:02How could this be?
00:22:04Just yesterday, we had spoken.
00:22:07There had been no sign.
00:22:08No hint that I would choose death.
00:22:10No.
00:22:11This couldn't be real.
00:22:13He clung to denial.
00:22:15Telling himself that his little wolf was just angry.
00:22:18That I was upset he hadn't been with me these past few days.
00:22:22That this was some kind of cruel joke.
00:22:24Cain reached out, his hands shaking as he tried to touch my face.
00:22:28As if convincing himself I was only asleep.
00:22:32Little wolf, why is your body so cold?
00:22:34Let me warm you up, okay?
00:22:37Today is our mate ceremony.
00:22:39You wouldn't leave me here alone, would you?
00:22:41By the end, his voice had begun to tremble.
00:22:44A staff member stepped forward and tried to help him up.
00:22:48Alpha Cain, please accept our condolences.
00:22:51Miss Aria has passed.
00:22:53That sentence snapped something inside him.
00:22:56No!
00:22:57Aria isn't dead!
00:22:59She's just asleep!
00:23:01The staff fell silent for a moment before handing him my phone.
00:23:08Alpha Cain, Miss Aria took her own life yesterday at six in the evening.
00:23:12When we arrived, she said she left you a final message on her phone.
00:23:17Six o'clock!
00:23:18The moment those words registered, Cain's heart lurched.
00:23:22If he remembered correctly, that was exactly when our call had ended.
00:23:27Right after that, he had been with the beta.
00:23:30His face turned even paler.
00:23:32With shaking hands, he unlocked the phone.
00:23:37The moment the screen lit up, he saw the note I had left behind.
00:23:43Cain, when I was 22, you were the one who pulled me out of a barren world.
00:23:48You gave me a kind of love I had never known before.
00:23:52These five years with you have been the happiest time of my life.
00:23:55I just never expected that happiness would end so quickly.
00:23:59In only five years, the man who once held me and promised to love me forever disappeared.
00:24:05For you, half a month ago, I risked my life to undergo blood awakening.
00:24:11I only wanted to fully feel your emotions during our mate ceremony.
00:24:15But I never imagined that the first thing I would sense after awakening would be your desire intertwined with another
00:24:21beta.
00:24:24These past two weeks, I broke down.
00:24:27I despaired.
00:24:29And in the end, everything went quiet.
00:24:32I understand now.
00:24:34There is no such thing as forever.
00:24:36Thank you for once being part of my life.
00:24:39But in the next life, no, in any life.
00:24:43I never want to meet you again.
00:24:45By the third line, Cain had already lost control.
00:24:49He had never cried in front of anyone.
00:24:52Now, tears fell uncontrollably onto the screen.
00:24:55His face drained of all color.
00:24:58His body swayed, unsteady, before his legs gave out and he collapsed to his knees.
00:25:04Only now did he understand.
00:25:06I had awakened long ago.
00:25:08I had known everything.
00:25:11Fragments of the past two weeks flooded his mind.
00:25:14The gathering where his friends joked about him and the beta.
00:25:17The nights he brought her home.
00:25:19The way he left me before the ceremony just to be with her.
00:25:23Even that call, when he let the beta interrupt without a second thought.
00:25:28The more he remembered, the sharper the pain in his chest became.
00:25:32Until he could barely breathe.
00:25:35What had he done?
00:25:36I had risked my life for blood awakening.
00:25:39And he had taken advantage of what he believed was my weakness, indulging himself without restraint.
00:25:44He couldn't even begin to imagine it.
00:25:48I had returned home, heart full of anticipation after awakening.
00:25:52Only to be met with the overwhelming sensation of his desire tangled with someone else's.
00:25:57The despair.
00:25:59The collapse.
00:26:00It must have shattered me.
00:26:03Endless pain spread through him.
00:26:05Suffocating.
00:26:06Inescapable.
00:26:07That day, when he heard me say I was leaving, it hadn't been about a friend.
00:26:12It had been about me.
00:26:14The signs had always been there.
00:26:16My death hadn't come out of nowhere.
00:26:19He had simply never seen it.
00:26:21In a daze, he thought he saw himself at 22.
00:26:25That younger version of him looked at him with nothing but disappointment.
00:26:29You betrayed Aria.
00:26:31You broke your mate bond.
00:26:34This is your punishment.
00:26:36Aria has left you forever.
00:26:38And the final lines of my message cut deeper than anything else.
00:26:41The little wolf he loved.
00:26:43Never wanted to meet him again.
00:26:46Only then did he realize how deeply I must have been hurt to write those words.
00:26:50And the one responsible for all of it was him.
00:26:59I had risked my life for blood awakening.
00:27:02And he had taken advantage of what he believed was my weakness, indulging himself without restraint.
00:27:08He couldn't even begin to imagine it.
00:27:11I had returned home, heart full of anticipation after awakening.
00:27:16Only to be met with the overwhelming sensation of his desire tangled with someone else's.
00:27:21The despair.
00:27:22The collapse.
00:27:24It must have shattered me.
00:27:26Endless pain spread through him.
00:27:29Suffocating, inescapable.
00:27:31That day, when he heard me say I was leaving, it hadn't been about a friend.
00:27:36It had been about me.
00:27:38The signs had always been there.
00:27:40My death hadn't come out of nowhere.
00:27:42He had simply never seen it.
00:27:45In a daze, he thought he saw himself at 22.
00:27:48That younger version of him looked at him with nothing but disappointment.
00:27:53You betrayed Aria.
00:27:55You broke your mate bond.
00:27:57This is your punishment.
00:27:59Aria has left you forever.
00:28:01And the final lines of my message cut deeper than anything else.
00:28:05The little wolf he loved.
00:28:07Never wanted to meet him again.
00:28:10Only then did he realize how deeply I must have been hurt to write those words.
00:28:14And the one responsible for all of it was him.
00:28:17The moment the guests saw the coffin, shock rippled through the entire venue.
00:28:21Then everything clicked.
00:28:24The delayed entrance.
00:28:26The explosive video.
00:28:28They understood.
00:28:29I had known all along.
00:28:31The video had been my doing.
00:28:34The coffin, delivered to the ceremony after my death, had been my final arrangement.
00:28:40In the end, only Kane remained.
00:28:43Kneeling in front of the coffin.
00:28:45At the burial, Kane stood off to the side like a man hollowed out, his expression numb,
00:28:50his soul already broken.
00:28:52Only when the coffin was about to be sealed beneath the earth did he suddenly snap back
00:28:56to himself.
00:28:57He lunged forward, eyes bloodshot, refusing to let anyone touch it.
00:29:02It took several people working together to drag him back and hold him in place.
00:29:06When the final shovelful of dirt fell, all that remained for him was a gravestone.
00:29:11He broke free from their grip, dropped heavily to his knees.
00:29:15And leaned his forehead against the stone.
00:29:17His hand traced my name as tears slid endlessly down his face.
00:29:22Little wolf, this is all my fault.
00:29:24I'm sorry.
00:29:29But apologies that come too late never reached the one who needed them.
00:29:34Kane returned home like a walking corpse.
00:29:36There was no life left in his face.
00:29:39The moment he pushed open the door, he froze.
00:29:42It had only been three days.
00:29:44Yet the entire house felt unbearably cold.
00:29:48After we got together, I had always liked adding small things to the house.
00:29:53Little decorations.
00:29:55Soft touches.
00:29:56Warm details that slowly turned that cold villa into something that felt like home.
00:30:01Kane stood there, staring at the unfamiliar familiarity of it all, on the verge of losing his mind.
00:30:07He summoned all the servants.
00:30:09Who threw away Aria's things?
00:30:11I never gave that order.
00:30:13Who dared to do it?
00:30:14The servants exchanged uneasy glances.
00:30:18Sir, Miss Aria told us to clear everything out three days ago.
00:30:22She had us pile it all in the backyard.
00:30:25Then she set it on fire herself.
00:30:28At that moment, one of the servants stepped forward hesitantly and opened her palm.
00:30:33Sir, I found this while cleaning a few days ago.
00:30:37It looked valuable.
00:30:39Maybe Miss Aria threw it away by accident.
00:30:42Another servant approached, holding a bundle of white fabric strips.
00:30:46Sir, this was left in the house yesterday.
00:30:49It looked like a mate dress.
00:30:52There was a moonstone in the center, so I didn't dare throw it away.
00:30:57Kane reached out with trembling hands.
00:30:59In one hand, he picked up the ring.
00:31:02The engagement ring he had made himself.
00:31:05The mate dress he had specially commissioned.
00:31:08A sharp, bone-deep pain spread from his chest through his entire body.
00:31:12He might have wondered, deep down.
00:31:15Aria, did you hate me that much?
00:31:17So much that you chose death to punish him.
00:31:20So much that you erased every trace of the happiness we once had.
00:31:24After the pain came something worse.
00:31:27Endless regret.
00:31:28Today was supposed to be the day he had looked forward to more than anything.
00:31:32The day he would finally complete the mate bond with the woman he loved.
00:31:36But he hadn't realized that he had already been standing at the edge of an abyss.
00:31:41And just as he was about to reach happiness, it struck.
00:31:44Dragging him down.
00:31:46Into a darkness with no end.
00:31:48No light.
00:31:50Not even a single trace.
00:31:54Kane drove everyone out of the house.
00:31:57Alone, he sat on the floor, holding the torn remains of the mate dress in his arms.
00:32:03The ring that once belonged to me now hung from his neck.
00:32:06Threaded onto a cord.
00:32:07These were the last things that still carried my scent.
00:32:10With them, it almost felt like I was still there.
00:32:14Then, my phone in his pocket vibrated.
00:32:17He glanced down.
00:32:19A message.
00:32:20From the beta.
00:32:22Aria, so what if today is your mate ceremony?
00:32:25Do you believe I can still call Kane away with just one message?
00:32:28Don't think becoming Luna means anything.
00:32:31I'm carrying Kane's first pup.
00:32:33Tell me.
00:32:34What matters more, your ceremony or his child?
00:32:38Last night, he had his face against my stomach.
00:32:41Saying he couldn't wait for the baby to be born.
00:32:44He's already excited to be a father.
00:32:47That Luna position of yours won't last long.
00:32:49Another message followed.
00:32:51A photo.
00:32:53Kane.
00:32:53Pressing his face against her stomach.
00:32:56Kane's fingers tightened around the phone.
00:32:59Then he scrolled up.
00:33:01Message after message.
00:33:03All sent to me.
00:33:04I'm pregnant.
00:33:06Kane and I have been together for a year.
00:33:09You're a pretty pathetic Omega.
00:33:11Not just words.
00:33:13There were countless intimate photos.
00:33:15And even a video.
00:33:17The beta, wearing a mate dress, beneath him.
00:33:21Kane's breathing grew heavier.
00:33:23He remembered.
00:33:25When she found out about the ceremony, she had insisted on having a dress too.
00:33:30He hadn't thought much of it.
00:33:32Just a dress.
00:33:33He told the designer to make her one as well.
00:33:37By then, I had already awakened.
00:33:40Kane shut his eyes.
00:33:42The memory of the boutique flashed through his mind.
00:33:45My expression.
00:33:47My silence.
00:33:48A sharp pain twisted through his chest.
00:33:51Now he understood.
00:33:53That was why I had torn the mate dress to pieces.
00:33:56His gaze dropped back to the screen.
00:33:59His grip tightened until his knuckles turned white.
00:34:02Rage burned in his eyes.
00:34:04That beta.
00:34:05He had warned her countless times not to tell me anything.
00:34:09And yet she had gone behind his back, provoking me again and again.
00:34:13His phone suddenly rang.
00:34:16He answered.
00:34:17On the other end, her voice was trembling, on the verge of tears.
00:34:31The fragile tone was nothing like the messages on my phone.
00:34:36As if she were two completely different people.
00:34:39A cold aura settled over Kane.
00:34:42Of course.
00:34:43I'll be right there.
00:34:46Her voice immediately brightened.
00:34:49I'll be waiting.
00:34:50Kane's eyes darkened.
00:34:52Since she wanted to see him so badly.
00:34:55He would make sure she got exactly what she wanted.
00:34:58She had assumed that today was Kane's mate ceremony with me.
00:35:02Even if she used the child as an excuse to pull him away.
00:35:05She expected it would take a lot of effort.
00:35:08Did that mean her place in Kane's heart had already surpassed mine?
00:35:11A determined glint flashed across her eyes.
00:35:15Before Kane arrived, she hurriedly changed into a sheer nightgown.
00:35:18Sprayed on his favorite scent-based perfume and reclined on the couch to wait.
00:35:23When Kane opened the door, the first thing he saw was her lying there in the thin fabric.
00:35:28A trace of coldness flickered through his eyes.
00:35:31It wasn't the first time she had used tactics like this.
00:35:34In the past, Kane treated her as nothing more than a distraction when he was bored.
00:35:39In his mind, there had only ever been one mate.
00:35:43From beginning to end, that was me.
00:35:45The beta didn't notice the chill radiating from him.
00:35:49She was still lost in her fantasy of becoming Luna.
00:35:52When she saw him, she put on a fragile expression and gently touched her flat stomach.
00:35:57Kane, I know today is your mate ceremony with Aria.
00:36:02I-I shouldn't have called you back, but my stomach-it really hurt.
00:36:08This is your first pup.
00:36:09I was so worried something might go wrong, so I had no choice but to call.
00:36:15Kane looked at her coldly.
00:36:17Where does it hurt?
00:36:18She didn't catch the icy edge in his voice.
00:36:21She thought he was concerned about her.
00:36:24Just like before, she stepped closer, wrapping her arms around his neck and breathing softly
00:36:29near his ear.
00:36:30The baby says it misses its father.
00:36:32She had always been bold about things like this.
00:36:35And with the mate ceremony today adding an extra thrill, she was certain she could make
00:36:40him stay the night.
00:36:41She was already imagining how she would message me the next day to provoke me, completely missing
00:36:46the darkening expression on Kane's face.
00:36:52She took one of his hands and placed it on her stomach.
00:36:55When he didn't react, she guided his hand upward.
00:36:58Just as it was about to reach her chest, Kane suddenly yanked his hand back and slapped her
00:37:03heart across the face.
00:37:04Who gave you permission to touch me?
00:37:06She was knocked to the floor, five clear finger marks blooming across her cheek.
00:37:11Clutching her swollen face, she stared at him in disbelief.
00:37:15She had been with him for a full year, and he had never laid a hand on her before.
00:37:20What had changed?
00:37:22And she was carrying his child.
00:37:24How could he be so ruthless?
00:37:27Kane?
00:37:28What did I do wrong?
00:37:30Why would you hit me?
00:37:32Haven't we always been like this?
00:37:34Her voice trembled, tears welling in her eyes.
00:37:37But the sight of her crying did nothing to soften him.
00:37:41His expression grew even darker, like a storm about to break.
00:37:44Who gave you the nerve to tell Arya about us?
00:37:47The beta's face went pale.
00:37:49She hadn't expected Kane to find out, but she still denied it on instinct.
00:37:54Kane, what are you talking about?
00:37:56I didn't say anything to Arya.
00:37:58Kane let out a cold laugh, his hand clamping down hard on her chin.
00:38:02You're still trying to lie?
00:38:03If I hadn't seen those message myself, I never would have guessed you had two faces.
00:38:08Playing the obedient little lamb in front of me, while acting arrogant as hell in front
00:38:12of Arya, I've warned you countless times.
00:38:15Arya is the only Omega I have ever truly loved.
00:38:19You are nothing more than a pet.
00:38:21I kept around for amusement.
00:38:23You had a hand in Arya's death.
00:38:25And you're going to pay for it.
00:38:27Driven by the instinct to survive, the beta clawed at his hand with both of hers, but he
00:38:32didn't loosen his grip.
00:38:34Child.
00:38:34She collapsed to the ground, gasping for air, coughing violently, overwhelmed by the
00:38:40relief of still being alive.
00:38:42Struggling to her feet, tears pooling in her eyes, she grabbed the hem of his shirt and pleaded.
00:38:48Kane, I didn't mean it.
00:38:51I just love you too much.
00:38:53I didn't want our child to be born with a bad name.
00:38:57I never thought Arya would take her own life over this.
00:39:00I was devastated when I heard.
00:39:03But she's gone now.
00:39:04We have to move forward, don't we?
00:39:07I'm carrying your pup.
00:39:08She knew Kane had always cared about the child.
00:39:11She assumed he had let her go earlier because he didn't want anything to happen to it.
00:39:18As long as she carried his pup, she believed she held a shield that would protect her from
00:39:23anything.
00:39:24She was wrong.
00:39:25Kane lifted his hand and lightly patted her cheek, his expression utterly cold.
00:39:30If you hadn't mentioned the child, I might have forgotten.
00:39:33Every time I think about how you caused Arya's death, I can't stand the sight of you.
00:39:37A child born from someone like you would only disgust me.
00:39:40The darkness in his tone finally made fear sink in.
00:39:43She stumbled back, clutching her lower abdomen with both hands, her voice trembling.
00:39:50Kane, what are you going to do to my child?
00:39:52He stepped closer, his voice cold and venomous, like a snake coiling tightly around.
00:39:57I'm having someone take you to the hospital to get rid of it.
00:40:00As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out his phone and ordered his bodyguards to
00:40:05take her away for the procedure.
00:40:07No!
00:40:08This is your child too, Kane!
00:40:11How can you do this?
00:40:12Despair filled her expression.
00:40:14She couldn't believe he could be this heartless, completely indifferent to the life inside her.
00:40:20Just yesterday, he had pressed his ear against her stomach, saying he wanted their child's
00:40:25first word to be dad.
00:40:27And now, he could order its death without even blinking.
00:40:31No, she would never accept this.
00:40:34This is a living being!
00:40:36It's the result of our love!
00:40:38Kane, just imagine it!
00:40:40Our child, growing up, calling you dad and me mom!
00:40:45Wouldn't that be a beautiful life?
00:40:47She knew Kane hated being threatened, so she tried to appeal to his emotions.
00:40:52But he remained towering over her, his expression cold and unfeeling.
00:40:56Love?
00:40:58There's nothing noble about what we have.
00:41:01It's nothing but a physical relationship.
00:41:04The only person I love is Aria.
00:41:09The bodyguards rushed in as soon as they got the call.
00:41:12They pushed the door open and grabbed the trembling Beta, preparing to take her to the hospital
00:41:17as ordered.
00:41:17She struggled desperately, but they were professionally trained.
00:41:22There was no way she could break free.
00:41:25As she was about to be dragged out, she screamed at Kane with everything she had left.
00:41:30Kane, you say you only love Aria, but we spent so many nights together.
00:41:35Did none of that mean anything to you?
00:41:38You told me you loved me too!
00:41:40Kane didn't react at all.
00:41:42He simply motioned for the bodyguards to take her away.
00:41:45All the way to the hospital, she fought against them, even trying to call out to the doctors
00:41:51and nurses for help.
00:41:52But this was a private hospital owned by Kane's company.
00:41:55Everyone there knew exactly who he was.
00:41:58Whatever he said, they followed.
00:42:01She was strapped to the operating table.
00:42:03As the anesthesia was injected, her consciousness slowly faded away.
00:42:08When she woke up again, even the slightest movement sent a heavy ache through her lower abdomen.
00:42:14Her pup was gone.
00:42:15After confirming with the doctor that the procedure was complete, Kane came to her bedside.
00:42:20When you're discharged, leave this city.
00:42:23I don't want to see you again.
00:42:25Every time he looked at her, he was reminded of his betrayal, reminded of my death.
00:42:30It felt like his heart was being carved apart.
00:42:34The beta's eyes shifted slightly.
00:42:36She already understood that becoming Luna was no longer possible.
00:42:40Now, she couldn't even remain as his lover.
00:42:43So, she gave up on everything.
00:42:46Kane, do you think you're some kind of tragic romantic now?
00:42:50You got rid of the illegitimate child, drove away your mistress, and now you get to mourn
00:42:55your dead lover all by yourself?
00:42:56Her mocking tone made Kane's fists clench.
00:42:59He shot her a sharp warning look.
00:43:02Enough.
00:43:03But she wasn't done.
00:43:04A bitter smile tugged at her lips.
00:43:07You were the one, the one who couldn't resist and pushed me down.
00:43:14And a few days ago, you were the one who brought me home.
00:43:18You came downstairs in the middle of the night to find me.
00:43:23I never forced you.
00:43:26Aria's death was your doing.
00:43:29You're the one who drove her to it.
00:43:31Kane had already known, deep down, that his betrayal was what led to my death.
00:43:36But hearing it spoken so bluntly felt like a knife plunging into his heart all over again,
00:43:41tearing it open and leaving it bleeding.
00:43:46After a full day of spreading online, the news of Kane cheating with a beta had completely
00:43:51exploded across the internet.
00:43:53Trending topics were flooded with his name.
00:43:56Kane scandal.
00:43:57Kane cheating with a beta.
00:43:59Aria suicide.
00:44:01A month ago, Kane's public courtship had already caused a massive sensation.
00:44:06He had even promised that the upcoming mate ceremony would be more spectacular than anything
00:44:11anyone had ever seen.
00:44:12So when that highly anticipated ceremony turned into a funeral, when news broke that an Omega
00:44:18had taken her own life after discovering her alpha's betrayal, and even had her coffin
00:44:23delivered to the ceremony site, it instantly captured everyone's attention.
00:44:27Kane's carefully crafted image shattered overnight.
00:44:29He went from being the most desired alpha online to a man universally condemned for destroying
00:44:35the person he claimed to love.
00:44:36I'm done believing in love.
00:44:38What kind of trash alpha is this?
00:44:41Aria deserved so much better.
00:44:43Why would she end her life over someone like him?
00:44:47Are all alphas like this?
00:44:49Acting one way in public and another behind closed doors?
00:44:52It's disgusting.
00:44:54I actually believed in their perfect love story.
00:44:57Companies that had partnered with Kane's group began cutting ties one after another.
00:45:02In no time, the entire corporation was thrown into turmoil.
00:45:07He lay curled up on the bed, eyes closed, clutching the torn mate ceremony suit I had
00:45:11ripped apart as if holding it close could somehow bring back my scent.
00:45:15His parents, who had been overseas on business, rushed back as soon as they heard the news.
00:45:21It took everything they had to stabilize the furious shareholders and keep the company from
00:45:26spiraling further.
00:45:27The moment they finished handling corporate matters, they hurried straight to the villa.
00:45:32As soon as they walked in, a servant approached them anxiously.
00:45:36Sir, ma'am, the young mayor hasn't left his room for over a day.
00:45:41We've brought food upstairs, but he won't eat.
00:45:43He won't answer the door either.
00:45:45We didn't dare force our way in, but it's been so long.
00:45:49We're worried something might have happened.
00:45:52They rushed upstairs.
00:45:53Just as the servant had said, no matter how hard they knocked, there was no response.
00:45:59No matter how many times they called his name, there was only silence.
00:46:06Kane's mother's voice trembled with fear.
00:46:09Do you think something's happened to him?
00:46:11Kane's father made a quick decision and ordered the bodyguards to break the door down.
00:46:16When the door was forced open, they found the curtains drawn tightly shut, blocking out
00:46:20every trace of light.
00:46:21Kane remained curled up on the bed, still clutching the torn mate ceremony suit.
00:46:26Even with everyone entering the room, he didn't react at all.
00:46:30The moment his mother saw how gaunt his face had become, her eyes filled with tears.
00:46:35England
00:46:36Standing in front of the sprawling Ashford Manor, I still felt like I was dreaming.
00:46:41I was no longer Phoenix.
00:46:43Now, I was Lyra Phoenix.
00:46:45I never imagined that a simple trip abroad would lead me to finding my biological parents.
00:46:51On the plane, a well-dressed woman seated next to me kept glancing in my direction.
00:46:56Out of politeness, I greeted her first, and we quickly fell into conversation.
00:47:01She told me she was part of the werewolf kind.
00:47:05A Chinese family settled in England.
00:47:07This trip back had been for one reason only.
00:47:10She was searching for her missing daughter.
00:47:13When their youngest daughter was born, it happened to be during a full moon, and they were in China
00:47:19at the time.
00:47:20They decided to stay an extra month and leave after the baby's one-month milestone.
00:47:25But the day before they were supposed to leave, their daughter disappeared.
00:47:28They called the police immediately and searched with friends, but after an entire month, there
00:47:34was still no trace.
00:47:35This was the 26th year.
00:47:37But when she saw me, she felt an unexplainable sense of familiarity.
00:47:42That was why she had kept looking at me.
00:47:45Without even realizing it, I began telling her about my past.
00:47:49When she learned I was an orphan, and that I came from the same city where her daughter
00:47:53had gone missing, her emotions became visibly stirred.
00:47:56She grasped my hands tightly and asked if I would be willing to take a DNA test after
00:48:01we landed.
00:48:02The moment we got off the plane, they had their driver take us straight to the fastest GenCore
00:48:07lab available.
00:48:10But when the results finally came back, everything changed.
00:48:14I was their daughter.
00:48:16The moment they saw the confirmation, they pulled me into their arms and broke down in
00:48:21tears.
00:48:22My parents loved me.
00:48:23They had spent 26 years searching for me.
00:48:27Ever since they found out who I was, my mother refused to let go of my hand, her eyes filled
00:48:32with warmth and affection.
00:48:34Even my father, who carried himself with quiet restraint, couldn't hide the redness in his
00:48:39eyes as he looked at me.
00:48:41When we arrived at the estate, my mother led me eagerly to a bedroom door, like she had been
00:48:46waiting for this moment forever.
00:48:48Phoenix, your father and I have been waiting for you to come home.
00:48:52We've kept your room exactly as it was for 26 years.
00:48:56Now you're finally here, and it finally has its owner.
00:49:00Go on, take a look.
00:49:02See if you like what we prepared for you.
00:49:04I pushed open the heavy door.
00:49:06Inside was a beautifully styled European vintage bed.
00:49:10A window beside it looked out over the back garden, the view stretching peacefully into the
00:49:15distance.
00:49:15The entire room was covered in soft carpeting, and right in the center sat a neat stack of
00:49:21boxes.
00:49:22My father stepped forward, picked one up, and handed it to me.
00:49:26Open it and see.
00:49:28I carefully unwrapped it.
00:49:30Inside was a diamond bracelet.
00:49:32A realization hit me instantly.
00:49:34I rushed to open the rest.
00:49:37There were exactly 26 items.
00:49:40My eyes burned as tears welled up.
00:49:42Even when I wasn't with them, they had prepared one for me every single year, waiting for the
00:49:47day I would finally come home and open them.
00:49:49Growing up in the orphanage, the bullying had convinced me that no one in this world would
00:49:54ever love me.
00:49:55But now I finally understood.
00:49:58Even when I didn't know it, my parents had always loved me.
00:50:01I stepped forward and wrapped my arms tightly around them.
00:50:05Mom.
00:50:06Dad.
00:50:08I'm home.
00:50:11My mom looked at me helplessly.
00:50:14Phoenix.
00:50:15I promise he's a good person.
00:50:18Just meet him once.
00:50:20If you don't like him, I'll find a way to call it off, okay?
00:50:24The first problem I faced after coming home turned out to be an arranged match.
00:50:29Back when my mom and her best friend were pregnant at the same time, they made a promise.
00:50:34If one had a boy and the other a girl, they would arrange a future match.
00:50:38If the children were the same gender, they would grow up like siblings.
00:50:42When they found out it was a boy and a girl, they were thrilled.
00:50:46They thought their friendship would turn into family.
00:50:49But not long after, I was taken.
00:50:52The arrangement was put on hold.
00:50:54A few days ago, after confirming that I was single, my mom and her friend brought it up
00:50:59again at the same time.
00:51:01The man was still single too.
00:51:03So the two mothers decided to revive the arrangement and let us meet.
00:51:07After five years in a failed relationship, I still hadn't fully recovered.
00:51:12The idea of starting something new made me uneasy.
00:51:15But I didn't want to tell my mom everything I had been through.
00:51:19I didn't want her to worry.
00:51:21So I agreed to meet him.
00:51:23I figured I would just explain things clearly in person.
00:51:27Even being friends would be fine.
00:51:29The moment I nodded, my mom lit up with excitement and immediately started setting a time.
00:51:35As if afraid something might change, the two mothers scheduled dinner for that very afternoon
00:51:40at the estate.
00:51:41By the afternoon, my mom had even called in a stylist to get me ready.
00:51:46I had no choice but to let her fuss over me.
00:51:49What I didn't expect was that when I finally met my so-called fiancé, I recognized him
00:51:54instantly.
00:51:55You?
00:51:57You?
00:51:59We spoke at the same time.
00:52:01I stared at the man in front of me, surprised.
00:52:04It was Vincent Gray.
00:52:07Vincent clearly hadn't expected it either.
00:52:10My mom and his mother exchanged a knowing look.
00:52:13Smiles flickering across their faces as they quickly made excuses to leave, giving us space.
00:52:21For a moment, the large garden felt awkwardly quiet with just the two of us.
00:52:26Vincent broke the silence first.
00:52:29Hmm.
00:52:31Aria, I didn't expect the daughter the Lyra family found to be you.
00:52:35We had gone to the same university back in China, studying in the same major.
00:52:39I nodded.
00:52:41Given the relationship between our families, he must have already heard what happened to
00:52:46me.
00:52:46He hesitated slightly before speaking again.
00:52:50Aria, I remember your empathic sense.
00:52:53I instinctively touched the back of my neck.
00:52:56I had never told my parents about my weak empathic sense.
00:52:59I didn't want them to know how unhappy my childhood had been.
00:53:04It would only make them feel guilty.
00:53:06So I told him everything.
00:53:08My five-year relationship with Cain.
00:53:11How it ended.
00:53:12And how my empathic sense finally went through its awakening.
00:53:16At the end, I added quietly.
00:53:19Vincent.
00:53:21Vincent, I need you to keep this between us.
00:53:23I don't want my parents to worry.
00:53:25He pretended to think for a moment, then said with a hint of reluctance.
00:53:29I can do that, but I have one condition.
00:53:32I blinked in surprise.
00:53:34I hadn't interacted with Vincent much before, but I remembered him as easygoing and kind.
00:53:40Still, I was asking him for a favor.
00:53:44It was only fair.
00:53:45What's the condition?
00:53:49He smiled, a playful glint in his eyes.
00:53:53Can I stop calling you Aria and call you Phoenix instead?
00:53:56And you don't have to call me Vincent so formally either.
00:53:59I hadn't expected something so simple.
00:54:02Ever since I changed my name, people around me had been calling me Phoenix.
00:54:07But somehow, hearing it from him felt different.
00:54:11Of course, Vincent.
00:54:13Thinking about the arranged match, I hesitated before finally gathering the courage to speak.
00:54:19Vincent, you already know I just came out of a failed relationship.
00:54:23I'm not ready for anything new right now.
00:54:27About the arrangement.
00:54:28I had assumed that me being in Omega might make him feel embarrassed or slighted.
00:54:33But his expression stayed calm.
00:54:35It's fine.
00:54:36I'll explain it to my mom.
00:54:38Honestly, on my way here I was already thinking about how to bring this up without affecting our family's relationship.
00:54:46He paused, then smiled.
00:54:49I didn't expect the Lyra family's near to be you.
00:54:51Even we call off the Empire.
00:54:53We can still be good friends.
00:54:55Right?
00:54:57Relief washed over me.
00:54:59I smiled and nodded.
00:55:01Of course.
00:55:01Maybe it was because we had shared the same university, the same memories.
00:55:07Having just arrived in England, everything still felt unfamiliar.
00:55:11But with Vincent, I felt a sense of ease I hadn't expected.
00:55:16We started talking about the past, and I realized we had so many shared interests.
00:55:21Before long, we grew closer, even meeting up from time to time to hang out.
00:55:26One day, after feeding seagulls by the coast, Vincent walked me back home.
00:55:32We ended up standing by the front gate, laughing and talking about everything that had happened earlier.
00:55:37I don't know how long we stood there.
00:55:40Then, from behind me, I heard a familiar voice.
00:55:44Little Wolf
00:55:48After spotting a familiar figure in the news, Kane used every connection he had to track down her identity.
00:55:55Because the Lyra family had deep roots overseas while Kane remained in China.
00:55:59It took him half a month to finally uncover information about me.
00:56:03The moment he saw the photo from the recognition banquet, he knew.
00:56:07That was his little wolf.
00:56:10Even with a different name, he was certain.
00:56:13There was no mistaking it.
00:56:15He immediately began digging for the Lyra family's address.
00:56:19Once he confirmed it, he rushed to catch the earliest flight to England.
00:56:23On the way, he must have imagined countless scenarios of seeing me again.
00:56:28He thought the most likely outcome was that I would still be angry and refuse to speak to him.
00:56:33But that didn't matter.
00:56:35As long as he could see me, that would be enough.
00:56:38After experiencing my death, he had come to realize more than ever that he could not live without me.
00:56:44He planned to apologize sincerely, to promise that he would never be tempted by another Omega again.
00:56:51He even imagined that once I forgave him, he would hold an even grander mate ceremony,
00:56:57one that would surpass anything before it, and declare his love to the world.
00:57:01What he didn't expect was that when he finally saw me again, a month later, I was already standing beside
00:57:06another Alpha.
00:57:08Vincent and I had been talking, completely absorbed, for nearly an hour.
00:57:12Remember, Cain stood behind a wall like an intruder peeking into someone else's happiness.
00:57:17But the moment he saw that familiar figure, longing crashed over him like a tidal wave.
00:57:23Just before he could no longer hold it in, he finally called out the name he had been repeating in
00:57:27his mind.
00:57:28After nearly a month, he was seeing me again, alive.
00:57:32His eyes reddened, his voice unsteady.
00:57:45He instinctively ignored the Alpha standing beside me.
00:57:49The moment I heard that familiar voice, I let out a quiet sigh.
00:57:53I had always known the fake death wouldn't fool Cain forever.
00:57:56I just hadn't expected him to track me down in England this quickly.
00:58:00I gave Vincent a subtle look, signaling him to leave first.
00:58:05Then I turned around, my expression cold as I looked straight at Cain.
00:58:09Why are you here?
00:58:11Arya is dead.
00:58:12I'm Phoenix now.
00:58:14Cain finally recalled everything he had learned over the past two weeks.
00:58:18His little wolf was never an orphan.
00:58:21I was Phoenix, the lost daughter of the Lyra family.
00:58:25Their most cherished child.
00:58:27Little wolf.
00:58:28No, Phoenix.
00:58:30I know I was wrong.
00:58:32I've already dealt with the beta.
00:58:33The child is gone too.
00:58:36Can you forgive me?
00:58:38With his intelligence, it didn't take much to figure out that the body at the mate ceremony had been staged.
00:58:45It was nothing more than my way of escaping after my heart had already died.
00:58:49Now that he had finally found me again, the person he had thought about day and night,
00:58:54he was determined to apologize and beg for forgiveness.
00:58:58I let out a quiet laugh.
00:59:00I had seen with my own eyes how he treated the beta, and now he could dismiss everything so easily.
00:59:06Saying he had taken care of her and the pup as if it meant nothing.
00:59:10I used to think he had simply transferred his love from me to someone else.
00:59:14Now I understood the truth.
00:59:17He was rotten to the core.
00:59:19He didn't truly love anyone.
00:59:21Only himself.
00:59:23Kane, I regret ever loving you.
00:59:28Those few simple words drained all the color from Kane's face.
00:59:32He couldn't understand it.
00:59:34For five years, we had been so in love.
00:59:38We had been happy.
00:59:39How could I regret it now?
00:59:41And that word, regret, did it mean I didn't love him anymore?
00:59:47The thought alone made his chest tighten with pain.
00:59:49No, that couldn't be true.
00:59:52It had only been a month.
00:59:54How could I have stopped loving him so quickly?
00:59:57In his mind, I was still angry.
01:00:00I just hadn't forgiven him yet.
01:00:03Kane stepped forward, reaching for my hand, wanting to explain.
01:00:08Before he could touch me, I took a step back, putting distance between us.
01:00:13The hurt in his expression was obvious, but he quickly tried to explain himself.
01:00:18Phoenix, I don't mean anything else.
01:00:21I just want to explain.
01:00:23Believe me, I've only ever loved you.
01:00:26I never had real feelings for the Beta.
01:00:29Can you forgive me and come back with me?
01:00:32I promise, there will never be another Omega around me again.
01:00:37I swear I'll only love you.
01:00:39We can have an even grander mate ceremony.
01:00:41Grander mate ceremony.
01:00:43By the end, there was a flicker of hope in his eyes.
01:00:47I didn't react.
01:00:49My expression remained cold.
01:00:51Five years ago, when you got together with me, you made the same promise.
01:00:57You said you would only love me.
01:00:59And you still cheated.
01:01:01I won't believe you again.
01:01:03And I will never forgive you.
01:01:05You should leave.
01:01:07Don't come back.
01:01:08When I first discovered his betrayal, the pain had been unbearable.
01:01:13There was even a moment when I hesitated.
01:01:16Because he still treated me the same as before.
01:01:19I thought maybe I could pretend nothing had happened.
01:01:23Maybe we could complete the mate bond.
01:01:25And he would continue to treat me well.
01:01:28Maybe he would keep the other Omega out of my sight.
01:01:31But after lie after lie, after seeing him entangled with the beta with my own eyes, I realized I couldn't
01:01:38do it.
01:01:38I couldn't live like nothing had happened.
01:01:41What I wanted had always been something real.
01:01:44A love that was honest.
01:01:46And once Kane tainted that love, I no longer wanted it.
01:01:53Back then, I had already made my decision.
01:01:56I would never forgive him.
01:01:59I turned to leave.
01:02:00But Kane wasn't ready to give up.
01:02:03In a moment of panic, he grabbed my wrist.
01:02:07Little Wolf, I swear.
01:02:09My heart has always belonged to you.
01:02:12You're the only one I love.
01:02:13I pulled free from his grip and looked at him.
01:02:17The urgency and sincerity on his face didn't seem fake.
01:02:20But I only let out a soft, humorless laugh.
01:02:25You talked about the beta with your friends right in front of me.
01:02:28Was that love?
01:02:30You had my mate's ceremony designer make a dress for her.
01:02:34Was that love?
01:02:35You snuck downstairs in the middle of the night to see her while I was asleep.
01:02:39Was that love?
01:02:41If that's your version of love, it's cheap.
01:02:45I don't want it.
01:02:46With every word, Kane's face grew paler.
01:02:50By the end, he looked like he could barely stand.
01:02:53My words cut into him like a blade, tearing his heart apart piece by piece.
01:02:58Never in his life had Kane hated himself this much.
01:03:01If he had never gotten involved with the beta in the first place, none of this would have happened.
01:03:06Kane's voice trembled slightly.
01:03:08Little wolf, are you really never going to forgive me?
01:03:11I nodded without hesitation.
01:03:13That's right.
01:03:15Never.
01:03:17I didn't wait to see his reaction.
01:03:19I turned and walked inside.
01:03:22The next day, Vincent and I had plans to attend a concert.
01:03:26Ever since my empathic sense went through its awakening, I had grown especially sensitive to emotions.
01:03:32The calm of nature, the intensity of music, the sincerity or deceit in people's voices.
01:03:40Vincent happened to be a huge fan of classical music, and every time I went to a concert with him,
01:03:45I learned something new.
01:03:47Kane stood outside the estate the entire night.
01:03:50My words from yesterday echoed endlessly in his mind.
01:03:53What once felt like relief after his first time with the beta had now come back like a blade, striking
01:03:58him full force.
01:04:00Still, he wanted one more chance.
01:04:03He refused to believe that five years of love could be erased so completely.
01:04:10After getting Vincent's message, I headed downstairs, humming like a carefree bird.
01:04:15My mom, who was having breakfast, teased me when she saw me.
01:04:20Who was the one who said they didn't want to meet him?
01:04:22Now it looks like you can't wait to see him every day.
01:04:25I'd say this match is looking pretty promising.
01:04:29Just friends.
01:04:29But for some reason, I felt my cheeks warm.
01:04:32Mom, we're just friends.
01:04:34I quickly ran out the door.
01:04:37The tickets for today's concert were hard to get, and Vincent had told me that one of his favorite cellists
01:04:42would be performing.
01:04:43The moment I stepped outside, I saw Kane standing off to the side, completely still.
01:04:49I acted as if I hadn't seen him and ran straight toward Vincent.
01:04:53He was holding a sandwich and handed it to me naturally.
01:04:57My mom asked me to bring this for you.
01:05:00Goodbye, my eyes lighting up.
01:05:02Grace's cooking is as amazing as ever.
01:05:04Come on, we're going to be late.
01:05:07You still haven't told me who else is performing today.
01:05:10I explained where he was, watching as I walked farther and farther away.
01:05:13The moment I stepped out, he had wanted to call out to me, to try one last time.
01:05:19But then he saw the light in my eyes.
01:05:22That bright, eager happiness.
01:05:24It was a look he knew all too well.
01:05:27Back when we were together, I used to look at him like that all the time.
01:05:32But now, he hadn't seen it in nearly two months.
01:05:36When he thought back to the days before I staged my death, he realized something.
01:05:41Back then, my eyes had been empty, like still water without a ripple.
01:05:46Nothing could stir any emotion in me.
01:05:48And yet, at the beginning of our relationship, I had looked at him the way I had just looked at
01:05:54Vincent.
01:05:54That was when he finally understood.
01:05:57What this relationship had left me with was nothing but pain.
01:06:01He had no right to ask for my forgiveness anymore.
01:06:04He booked a flight back home that same afternoon.
01:06:07Leaving, he realized he didn't have my current number, borrowed a piece of paper and a pen from a passerby
01:06:13and wrote a message.
01:06:14He stood somewhere visible by the gate.
01:06:17After one last look at the place where I would spend the rest of my life, he got into the
01:06:21car and left.
01:06:22A fist of wind lifted the paper into the air.
01:06:25On it, there was only one sentence.
01:06:28Little wolf, please let me call you that one last time.
01:06:32I'm sorry.
01:06:34I wish you a lifetime of happiness.
01:06:36In England, Vincent and I walked through the Rose Garden at Ashford Manor.
01:06:42Phoenix.
01:06:44Stopping in his tracks, his expression was more serious than I had ever seen before.
01:06:50You're not ready right now, but I want you to know, if one day you're willing to believe in love
01:06:54again, I'll be here waiting.
01:06:56I looked at him, warmth spreading through my chest.
01:07:00Maybe, one day, I would believe in love again.
01:07:03But for now, I was content.
01:07:06Loved by my parents, surrounded by friends, running freely under the moonlight, breeze and breathing in the scent of flowers.
01:07:15I am Phoenix, and I have risen from the ashes.
01:07:19I am Phoenix, and I have risen from the ashes.
