00:00:00Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies.

00:00:04My Alpha Cain had an affair with his mistress Beta the day before our mating ceremony.

00:00:09He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing, unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive

00:00:17every betrayal he uttered.

00:00:20Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged a fake death scene exactly as you requested.

00:00:26In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.

00:00:29The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too

00:00:34long.

00:00:35Good.

00:00:36My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.

00:00:41Rest assured, no one will question it. We'll simulate a death by silver. No wolf survives that kind of damage.

00:00:50Only then, did I let out a slow breath. After confirming the remaining details,

00:00:55I hung up and pushed open the door to the private room. The noise inside died the instant I stepped

00:01:02in.

00:01:03Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.

00:01:07The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Cain.

00:01:12Cain, seated at the center, rose immediately.

00:01:16His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern. His voice dropped, rough with alpha authority.

00:01:25My little wolf, where did you go? I can smell fear on you.

00:01:30He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze, and forced down the bitterness rising

00:01:37in my chest.

00:01:38I shook my head.

00:01:40I'm fine. Let's just keep going.

00:01:43Still holding my hand, Cain led me back to my seat. The room gradually came back to life, until someone

00:01:50spoke up.

00:01:51Cain, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond. So what are you planning to do

00:01:57with your little beta pet?

00:01:58My nails dug into my palm. Being the useless one who couldn't shift. I'd long since gotten used to names

00:02:06like that. But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Cain.

00:02:15Someone beside the speaker nudged him.

00:02:18Hey watch it, your Luna's right here.

00:02:21He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.

00:02:24What's the problem? It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway. I'm just curious how Cain

00:02:32plans to deal with his little bitch.

00:02:34All eyes turned to Cain. A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.

00:02:40I'll keep her.

00:02:42He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.

00:02:47She's just a pet I keep around. My only mate is Aria.

00:02:51He smirked faintly.

00:02:53But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.

00:02:57So I've kept it well hidden.

00:03:00Even after the mate bond.

00:03:03I won't let her find out.

00:03:05His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.

00:03:10Watch your mouths.

00:03:11If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.

00:03:16These were all dominant alphas from the same circle.

00:03:19And none of this shocked them.

00:03:21If anything, they sounded amused.

00:03:25Cain's got it bad.

00:03:26Can't even let his little toy get exposed.

00:03:29Well, she can't shift.

00:03:31Figures she'd be fragile.

00:03:33Someone's eyes lit up.

00:03:35Curiosity getting the better of him.

00:03:38Cain, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at home?

00:03:47Cain chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.

00:03:51Of course.

00:03:53It's been wild.

00:03:56The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.

00:04:00Cain really knows how to play.

00:04:03A useless one like that?

00:04:05Easy to fool.

00:04:07Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.

00:04:13Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.

00:04:18Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.

00:04:23No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.

00:04:27My knuckles had gone white.

00:04:29No one knew.

00:04:30Three days ago, I had my awakening.

00:04:35And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.

00:04:39I would never complete a mate bond with Cain.

00:04:43On the day of the ceremony,

00:04:44the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.

00:04:49A fake one.

00:04:51Cain glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.

00:04:55My little wolf, why aren't you eating?

00:04:59I looked at him.

00:05:00At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern,

00:05:05and forced a faint smile.

00:05:07What were you all talking about that got you so excited?

00:05:11Cain smiled softly,

00:05:13and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.

00:05:17They were just saying they envy envy our bond.

00:05:20That will be the most devoted pair there is.

00:05:24Inside the private room,

00:05:26people exchanged knowing looks.

00:05:28I caught every single one of them.

00:05:30The mockery.

00:05:31The cruelty.

00:05:31It burned.

00:05:34My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver.

00:05:38The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.

00:05:41They had been talking about him and that woman.

00:05:44Yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.

00:05:49Cain,

00:05:49I never realized you could lie so easily.

00:05:53I set my silver fork down and stood.

00:05:56I didn't want to hear another word of it.

00:05:59The moment I moved to leave,

00:06:01Cain was on his feet,

00:06:02a flicker of panic crossing his face.

00:06:05Little wolf,

00:06:06what's wrong?

00:06:08I shook my head.

00:06:10My voice came out soft,

00:06:12barely more than a breath.

00:06:14I'm tired.

00:06:16I want to go back to the pack house.

00:06:19I didn't wait for his response.

00:06:20I turned and walked out.

00:06:23Out on the street,

00:06:25I looked up

00:06:26and saw the massive LED screen across the road.

00:06:29A mating display was playing.

00:06:32ARIA,

00:06:33be my mate.

00:06:35The words stretched across the center in bold,

00:06:39impossible to miss letters.

00:06:41People passing by slowed down,

00:06:43their voices full of envy.

00:06:48Oh my God,

00:06:49I heard Alpha Cain's girl can't shift,

00:06:51so he rented the biggest screen in the city

00:06:53just so she could clearly see the words,

00:06:55be my mate.

00:06:56That's insanely romantic.

00:06:59He treats that girl so well.

00:07:01After the mate bond,

00:07:03he's going to be the perfect alpha.

00:07:06I stood there,

00:07:07the subject of their admiration,

00:07:09and let out a quiet,

00:07:11self-mocking smile.

00:07:13A week ago,

00:07:14I would have reacted the same way.

00:07:17I would have believed in Cain's love without question.

00:07:21I was born into a declining pack.

00:07:25From the moment I came into this world,

00:07:27I couldn't shift.

00:07:29Among the werewolf kind,

00:07:31that made me a disgrace.

00:07:33A failure.

00:07:35Cain entered my life under those circumstances.

00:07:39He claimed it was love at first sight

00:07:41and pursued me relentlessly.

00:07:43But I had seen this kind of attention before.

00:07:47Cruel games disguised as affection.

00:07:50So I avoided him.

00:07:5299 times he confessed.

00:07:5599 times I turned him down.

00:07:59Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked,

00:08:02he threw himself over me without hesitation.

00:08:05Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade,

00:08:09he didn't move.

00:08:10He held his position,

00:08:12shielding me with his body.

00:08:14When he woke up in the hospital,

00:08:16his condition was so weak

00:08:18he could barely maintain human form.

00:08:20And yet,

00:08:21the first thing he did when he saw me

00:08:23was reach out and gently touch my face.

00:08:28My little wolf,

00:08:29as long as you're safe.

00:08:31That was the moment everything changed.

00:08:34For the first time,

00:08:35I believed that even someone like me,

00:08:38someone who couldn't shift,

00:08:39could be worth risking everything for.

00:08:41The walls around my heart cracked open for him.

00:08:45The wound from the Silver never fully healed.

00:08:49It left behind a permanent circular scar.

00:08:53Every time I saw it,

00:08:54my heart would ache in a way

00:08:56that felt dangerously close to love.

00:08:59For five years,

00:09:01he never wavered.

00:09:02He treated me with the same devotion,

00:09:05the same care,

00:09:06as if I were the only one who mattered.

00:09:11Even when the pack opposed us,

00:09:13he stood his ground

00:09:14and asked me to be his mate.

00:09:17And for that upcoming ceremony,

00:09:19I wanted to give him something real.

00:09:22Something more.

00:09:23I risked my life to undergo blood awakening,

00:09:27just so I could truly experience

00:09:28his wild side during the mate ritual.

00:09:31If it failed,

00:09:32I would have died.

00:09:34But I survived.

00:09:36Not only that,

00:09:38I gained something rare.

00:09:40Empathic sense.

00:09:42I decided to keep it a secret.

00:09:44I wanted to surprise him

00:09:46on the day of the ceremony.

00:09:48But on the very day I awakened,

00:09:51everything fell apart.

00:09:52Through that new ability,

00:09:54I sensed him.

00:09:56Kane.

00:09:57Talking to his beta pet.

00:09:59Their voices were intimate,

00:10:01careless,

00:10:02filled with open flirtation.

00:10:05That was when I learned the truth.

00:10:07He had already betrayed our bond.

00:10:10For an entire year.

00:10:12And I had known nothing.

00:10:14A sharp pain twisted through my chest,

00:10:17forcing me to crouch down

00:10:19and wrap my arms around myself.

00:10:21His words from earlier echoed in my mind,

00:10:24over and over again.

00:10:26Even with the mate ceremony approaching,

00:10:28he had no intention of ending that relationship.

00:10:32Did he really think I was so worthless

00:10:34that he could deceive me forever?

00:10:37The winter wind cut through me,

00:10:39cold and merciless.

00:10:41But my mind had never been clearer.

00:10:44I would show Kane the truth.

00:10:46Lies don't last forever.

00:10:49And I would never forgive betrayal.

00:10:52I took a slow breath,

00:10:54forcing down the ache in my chest.

00:10:56Just as I was about to head back,

00:10:59a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.

00:11:03Kane's scent surrounded me at once,

00:11:06rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.

00:11:08It pressed in from all sides,

00:11:11leaving no space to breathe.

00:11:13Little wolf,

00:11:14why didn't you wait for me?

00:11:16Are you in a bad mood today?

00:11:18Then let me take you to see your mate dress.

00:11:21The custom piece just arrived.

00:11:24He pulled me into his arms,

00:11:26his hands sliding up to the back of my neck,

00:11:29gently stroking the spot where his marking remained.

00:11:35I don't feel like going.

00:11:36Just pick it yourself.

00:11:39I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.

00:11:42There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.

00:11:46Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone.

00:11:49His voice softened, almost cautious.

00:11:53Little wolf,

00:11:54why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?

00:11:58Do you not want to bond with me anymore?

00:12:01I looked at him,

00:12:02at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.

00:12:06I almost told him the truth.

00:12:08Yes,

00:12:09I don't want this anymore.

00:12:11You were the one who betrayed us first.

00:12:14You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.

00:12:17You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.

00:12:21And now you're asking me why?

00:12:24But I wasn't ready to expose everything,

00:12:27not yet.

00:12:29At the dress boutique,

00:12:31the moment we stepped inside,

00:12:33an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress prepared in advance.

00:12:38Miss,

00:12:39the gown Alpha Kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.

00:12:42Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.

00:12:46The dress was pure white,

00:12:48flowing and luminous.

00:12:50Moonstones were set into the bodice,

00:12:53casting a soft,

00:12:54sacred glow.

00:12:56Kane wrapped an arm around my waist.

00:12:58My little wolf,

00:13:00do you like it?

00:13:01I couldn't deny it.

00:13:03The design was exactly my taste.

00:13:06But no matter how beautiful it was,

00:13:08it couldn't mend what had already been broken.

00:13:12Look closer,

00:13:13Kane said softly,

00:13:15at the center of the moonstone.

00:13:17I followed his gaze.

00:13:19Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.

00:13:22A and K,

00:13:24forever.

00:13:25The moon goddess is our witness.

00:13:28My love for you will last forever, too.

00:13:32I stared at the stone,

00:13:33at the tiny letters carved into its heart.

00:13:36Then I turned to him,

00:13:38and met his eyes.

00:13:40Eyes filled with something that looked like love.

00:13:44Will your love for me really last forever?

00:13:49A flicker of unease crossed his face

00:13:51before he answered quickly.

00:13:53I Kane,

00:13:54swear,

00:13:55swear that I will love Arya forever.

00:13:58For my entire life.

00:14:00If I break this oath,

00:14:02may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.

00:14:06Such a solemn vow.

00:14:08And yet,

00:14:09it couldn't warm a heart

00:14:11that had already gone cold.

00:14:13He had already broken it.

00:14:15And still,

00:14:17he kept acting.

00:14:19Didn't he get tired?

00:14:21I turned my face away,

00:14:23unwilling to look at him any longer.

00:14:26Kane seemed about to say something else,

00:14:28but his phone suddenly rang.

00:14:30His expression shifted,

00:14:31just slightly,

00:14:33before he stepped aside to answer.

00:14:35When he returned,

00:14:36there was a trace of apology on his face.

00:14:40Little wolf,

00:14:41something urgent just came up.

00:14:43Go ahead and try the dress.

00:14:44If anything needs adjusting,

00:14:46just tell the staff.

00:14:48He left in a hurry,

00:14:50not even waiting for a response.

00:14:53I watched his retreating figure,

00:14:55a bitter thought settling in.

00:14:58Kane had never walked away from me for pack business.

00:15:01And just before he left,

00:15:03I had caught it.

00:15:05That flicker in his eyes.

00:15:07Raw,

00:15:08instinctive desire.

00:15:11Work?

00:15:12Hardly.

00:15:14He was going to see her.

00:15:16When I returned to the pack house,

00:15:18I immediately felt it.

00:15:20The slight dip in the mattress.

00:15:23The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla,

00:15:26and lingering scent,

00:15:27thick with unmistakable desire.

00:15:30The thought hit me all at once.

00:15:33Kane and that beta had been here,

00:15:35on this bed.

00:15:37Entwined.

00:15:37My stomach twisted violently.

00:15:40I rushed into the bathroom and threw up,

00:15:43unable to stop.

00:15:44Kane had just come back.

00:15:46The moment he saw me like that,

00:15:48panic flashed across his face.

00:15:51Little wolf,

00:15:52did you eat something bad?

00:15:53I'll call a healer right now.

00:15:57I grabbed his wrist,

00:15:59my eyes still red.

00:16:01I'm fine.

00:16:02I just...

00:16:03thought of something disgusting.

00:16:06Kane dropped to his knees beside me,

00:16:09gently patting my back,

00:16:10his expression full of distress.

00:16:13Don't think about things like that.

00:16:15Seeing you like this,

00:16:17it hurts me too.

00:16:19I looked down at him,

00:16:21at the open collar of his shirt,

00:16:23and the marks on his skin.

00:16:26Bite marks,

00:16:27fresh,

00:16:27obvious.

00:16:29Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.

00:16:32How strong did Kane have to be

00:16:34to carry another woman's marks on his body

00:16:37and still look at me

00:16:38like I was the only one he cared about?

00:16:41His voice grew sharper,

00:16:43more agitated.

00:16:45Who did this to you?

00:16:47Who made Maid?

00:16:49My little wolf like this.

00:16:52Tell me.

00:16:53I'll tear them apart.

00:16:55A bitter smile tugged at my lips.

00:16:59Kane,

00:17:00you're the one who did this to me.

00:17:03Sometime deep into the night,

00:17:04I woke to the sound of a low,

00:17:06restrained growl.

00:17:08Half asleep,

00:17:09I reached out,

00:17:11instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.

00:17:14But the bed was empty.

00:17:16I sat up and went downstairs.

00:17:18As I reached the second floor,

00:17:20I heard it.

00:17:21A woman's breathless voice.

00:17:25Soft,

00:17:26broken.

00:17:27I froze for a second,

00:17:29forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest,

00:17:32then walked toward the guest room.

00:17:34The door was wide open.

00:17:36Moonlight spilled across the room,

00:17:38illuminating two bodies tangled together.

00:17:42Inside,

00:17:43Kane was bare from the waist up.

00:17:45The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.

00:17:48The long skirt pushed up to her waist.

00:17:51Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.

00:17:54Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck,

00:17:58her voice unsteady.

00:17:59Alpha,

00:18:01the dress I just got today,

00:18:03you already torn it.

00:18:05Kane let out a low chuckle,

00:18:07leaning in close to her ear,

00:18:08his voice rough.

00:18:09You wore it for me,

00:18:13didn't you?

00:18:15I even had the designer make one just for you.

00:18:18So tonight,

00:18:20shouldn't you be satisfying me?

00:18:22She clung to him,

00:18:24her voice breaking,

00:18:26hoarse.

00:18:27Alpha,

00:18:28I can't,

00:18:30I can't take ache anymore.

00:18:32Then,

00:18:33breathless,

00:18:34she tilted her head back.

00:18:36What if Aria sees us?

00:18:38Kane stilled,

00:18:40his expression turning cold as he cut her off.

00:18:43She's useless.

00:18:45She doesn't understand anything.

00:18:47Don't you dare tell her about us.

00:18:49The beta traced circles against his chest,

00:18:52her tone soft,

00:18:53almost hurt.

00:18:54I know.

00:18:55I just,

00:18:57she's about to become your mate,

00:19:00and I'll always have to stay hidden.

00:19:03It makes me sad.

00:19:06Kane's expression softened slightly.

00:19:08You jealous little thing.

00:19:11I already brought you into this house.

00:19:13Isn't that enough?

00:19:15Don't worry.

00:19:16Even after the mate bond,

00:19:18I won't leave you.

00:19:19Whatever Aria has,

00:19:21we'll have too.

00:19:23Moonlight,

00:19:23lit up my face,

00:19:25where I stood outside the door.

00:19:27I covered my mouth,

00:19:29but the tears were already falling,

00:19:31blurring everything.

00:19:33Every sound from inside the room

00:19:35pierced into me like silver blades,

00:19:38carving wound after wound into my chest.

00:19:41I turned and ran.

00:19:43Barefoot.

00:19:44Straight out into the rain.

00:19:46Cold water soaked through me,

00:19:49but I didn't stop.

00:19:50I just needed to get away,

00:19:52as far away as possible.

00:19:54Through the haze,

00:19:55I thought I saw him.

00:19:57A younger Kane.

00:19:59The one

00:20:00I had once loved.

00:20:02His eyes were clear,

00:20:04sincere,

00:20:05filled with something real.

00:20:07Little Wolf,

00:20:09leave him.

00:20:11Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore,

00:20:13and never forgive him.

00:20:16My vision burned,

00:20:17as I looked at that memory.

00:20:19At the Alpha,

00:20:21I had once given my heart to.

00:20:23Okay.

00:20:24I whispered.

00:20:26I will leave you,

00:20:29and I will never forgive you.

00:20:33I didn't make it back until dawn.

00:20:35The moment I lay down,

00:20:37Kane slipped quietly into the room.

00:20:39He moved carefully,

00:20:41just like always,

00:20:42pulling the blanket over me

00:20:43before drawing me into his arms.

00:20:45His lips brushed softly against my forehead.

00:20:49Little Wolf,

00:20:50I really do love you.

00:20:53In three days,

00:20:55you'll become my mate.

00:20:56We'll be together forever.

00:20:59I once saw a line online.

00:21:02When an Alpha suddenly becomes gentle,

00:21:04it is usually guilt,

00:21:06after betrayal.

00:21:08I never understood it before.

00:21:10Now I did.

00:21:12More than anything,

00:21:13I just wanted time to move faster.

00:21:16I wanted the day I left to come sooner.

00:21:18When I woke up,

00:21:20Kane and the Beta were already downstairs having breakfast.

00:21:23The moment he saw me,

00:21:25Kane stood,

00:21:26and pulled out a chair for me.

00:21:29He watched as I calmly finished my meal,

00:21:32then guilt flickered across his face.

00:21:36Little Wolf,

00:21:38I have to leave for a few days on short notice.

00:21:41For the mate ceremony,

00:21:42just work with the planner.

00:21:43I'll be back as soon as I can.

00:21:45After the ceremony,

00:21:46I'll make it up to you.

00:21:47Wherever you want to go for our honeymoon,

00:21:49I'll take you.

00:21:50I already knew the truth.

00:21:52This wasn't a trip.

00:21:54He was going to take care of her.

00:21:56But I didn't care anymore.

00:21:58I simply nodded.

00:22:01Just before he walked out the door,

00:22:03I called his name one last time.

00:22:05Kane.

00:22:06He paused,

00:22:08then turned back,

00:22:09his expression softening

00:22:11as he reached out to cut my face.

00:22:13Can't bear to see me go, Little Wolf.

00:22:16It's only a few days.

00:22:18Once we complete the mate bond,

00:22:19you'll see me every day.

00:22:21Kane!

00:22:22From outside,

00:22:23the beta called out to him.

00:22:25Kane leaned in,

00:22:26kissed my cheek,

00:22:27and left in a hurry.

00:22:29I stood there,

00:22:30watching his retreating figure.

00:22:33This was probably the last time

00:22:35I would ever see him.

00:22:38Not long after Kane and the beta left,

00:22:41I received a message from her.

00:22:43Miss Aria,

00:22:44you sensed everything last night,

00:22:46didn't you?

00:22:46I didn't expect you to be this good

00:22:48at holding it in.

00:22:49Kane already promised

00:22:51to spend the next few days with me.

00:22:53Imagine that,

00:22:54your future mate

00:22:55staying with another wolf

00:22:56right before your ceremony.

00:22:58You might be the most pathetic woman

00:23:00in the world.

00:23:02I didn't reply.

00:23:04Instead,

00:23:05I told the servants

00:23:06to gather everything in the villa

00:23:08that belonged to me

00:23:09and pile it in the backyard.

00:23:12Once everything was brought out,

00:23:14I lit a fire.

00:23:15I stood there in silence,

00:23:18watching five years of memories

00:23:20burn away piece by piece.

00:23:23When the last corner turned to ash,

00:23:26so did everything I once felt.

00:23:28There were two days left before I left.

00:23:31Another message came from the beta.

00:23:33This time,

00:23:35it was a photo.

00:23:37A pregnancy test report.

00:23:39Well,

00:23:40looks like I'm really pregnant.

00:23:42Kane's first pup.

00:23:44He's so excited.

00:23:45I still didn't respond.

00:23:48I took out the mate dress

00:23:49and,

00:23:50with my claws,

00:23:51tore it apart piece by piece.

00:23:54This dress,

00:23:56created for me,

00:23:57no longer had any meaning.

00:23:58On the day I was leaving,

00:24:01she sent one last message.

00:24:04Kane is going to complete

00:24:05a mate bond with me.

00:24:06He said he'll give me

00:24:07the same ceremony.

00:24:08He won't let me

00:24:09or the child suffer.

00:24:11Miss Aria,

00:24:12you should know your place

00:24:13and give up the Luna position.

00:24:15Kane doesn't love you anymore.

00:24:18This time,

00:24:19I replied,

00:24:20I hope your dream

00:24:22comes true soon.

00:24:23After that,

00:24:24I pulled up the villa

00:24:25surveillance footage.

00:24:26It wasn't just once.

00:24:29Kane had brought her back here

00:24:30again and again,

00:24:32chasing excitement.

00:24:34I copied the videos

00:24:35and sent them

00:24:36to the ceremony planner.

00:24:38This is a surprise

00:24:39I prepared for Kane.

00:24:41Make sure it's played-played

00:24:42during the ceremony.

00:24:43Keep it confidential.

00:24:47Once everything was arranged,

00:24:49my phone rang.

00:24:51Kane!

00:24:51There was a trace of apology

00:24:53on his face.

00:24:54Little wolf,

00:24:55things here aren't finished yet.

00:24:57I won't be back

00:24:58until tomorrow morning.

00:24:59Don't worry,

00:25:00I'll make it

00:25:00before the ceremony.

00:25:02I let out a soft laugh.

00:25:05Okay,

00:25:05I've prepared a surprise

00:25:07for you at the ceremony.

00:25:08His eyes lit up

00:25:09with anticipation.

00:25:12My little wolf

00:25:13prepared something for me?

00:25:14I can't wait.

00:25:16Little wolf,

00:25:17I've waited five years

00:25:17for you to become my mate.

00:25:19Tomorrow,

00:25:19when you finally

00:25:20become my Luna,

00:25:21I'm so happy.

00:25:23His voice cut off abruptly.

00:25:25His body stiffened

00:25:27for a split second,

00:25:28and a suppressed breath

00:25:29escaped him.

00:25:31A trace of cold mockery

00:25:33flickered in my eyes.

00:25:35Kane,

00:25:36I hope you like the surprise.

00:25:38I hung up before he could respond

00:25:40and walked out of the villa.

00:25:42The car from the fake death agency

00:25:45was already waiting outside.

00:25:47At the airport,

00:25:48I typed a few final lines

00:25:50on my phone

00:25:51before handing it to the staff.

00:25:53Tomorrow,

00:25:54deliver this phone

00:25:55along with the body

00:25:56to the Alpha.

00:25:57Tell him I died

00:25:58at six in the evening,

00:25:59and that I left him

00:26:00a final message.

00:26:02Six o'clock.

00:26:04The exact moment

00:26:05I ended the call.

00:26:07I wanted Kane to believe

00:26:08that while he was tangled up

00:26:10with that beta,

00:26:11I had died.

00:26:13That I had chosen death.

00:26:15Those final words

00:26:16I left behind

00:26:17would stay with him forever.

00:26:20A lifetime of guilt

00:26:21he would never escape.

00:26:23The staff member nodded,

00:26:25taking the phone

00:26:26and handing me

00:26:27a new ID and boarding pass.

00:26:29Miss Phoenix,

00:26:31we will erase

00:26:32all surveillance

00:26:33along your route.

00:26:34We wish you a safe journey

00:26:35and a happy life ahead.

00:26:37Phoenix,

00:26:39the name I chose for myself.

00:26:41A symbol of rising

00:26:42from the ashes,

00:26:44of leaving

00:26:45everything behind.

00:26:46After today,

00:26:48my life would begin again.

00:26:52At the beta's house.

00:26:54The woman was still

00:26:55softly begging

00:26:56when Kane finally

00:26:57let her go.

00:26:58He caught her wrist,

00:26:59his voice rough.

00:27:01You're pregnant

00:27:02and still acting like this?

00:27:04She leaned into his chest,

00:27:07her tone sweet

00:27:07and coaxing.

00:27:09I was just worried

00:27:10you might be

00:27:10holding back too much.

00:27:13Kane let out

00:27:14a low chuckle

00:27:15and pinched her cheek.

00:27:18Jealous, aren't you?

00:27:19She huffed

00:27:20and turned her face away.

00:27:22You're completing

00:27:23a mate bond

00:27:23with Aria tomorrow?

00:27:25Am I not allowed

00:27:26to feel anything about that?

00:27:27Kane's expression darkened.

00:27:29He released her hand

00:27:31and looked down

00:27:31at her from above,

00:27:32his voice edged

00:27:34with warning.

00:27:34As long as you don't

00:27:35front send life

00:27:36in my front,

00:27:37I can spoil you

00:27:37however I want.

00:27:39But if you forget

00:27:40your place...

00:27:41Her expression shifted.

00:27:43She hadn't expected

00:27:44that even carrying

00:27:45his pup

00:27:46wouldn't change

00:27:47his tone,

00:27:48but she knew

00:27:48how to read

00:27:49the situation.

00:27:51Alpha,

00:27:51I understand.

00:27:52I never intended

00:27:53to compete

00:27:54with Miss Aria

00:27:54for the Luna position.

00:27:56Kane pulled her back

00:27:57into his arms.

00:27:58Good.

00:27:59Don't overthink it.

00:28:01After the honeymoon,

00:28:02I'll spend a full week

00:28:03with you.

00:28:03And don't worry,

00:28:05even after the mate bond,

00:28:06I won't neglect you

00:28:07or the child.

00:28:08The next day,

00:28:09the mate ceremony.

00:28:11Kane stood

00:28:12at the center

00:28:13of the stage,

00:28:14dressed impeccably,

00:28:15a white rose

00:28:16in his hand.

00:28:18Below him,

00:28:19guests filled the venue,

00:28:20cameras from major media outlets

00:28:22broadcasting the event

00:28:23live across the world.

00:28:26At exactly 12 noon,

00:28:28the ceremony began.

00:28:30The music for the Luna's

00:28:31entrance played.

00:28:33Kane's palms

00:28:34were damp with sweat.

00:28:36The song ended,

00:28:37but the doors

00:28:38remained closed.

00:28:40A murmur spread

00:28:41through the crowd.

00:28:43Just as Kane

00:28:44reached for his phone,

00:28:45the host

00:28:46stepped forward.

00:28:48Ladies and gentlemen,

00:28:49and our Alpha,

00:28:50thank you for your patience.

00:28:51Our Luna mentioned

00:28:52yesterday that she prepared

00:28:53a special surprise,

00:28:55so we've added an extra segment

00:28:56to today's ceremony.

00:28:58Kane relaxed slightly.

00:29:01So this was the surprise

00:29:03I had mentioned.

00:29:04Please direct your attention

00:29:06to the main screen.

00:29:07All eyes lifted.

00:29:09Kane smiled faintly,

00:29:11anticipation in his gaze.

00:29:13But the next second,

00:29:16everything changed.

00:29:19On the screen,

00:29:21their movements unmistakable.

00:29:24At first,

00:29:25the guests were confused.

00:29:27Who are they?

00:29:28How dare they disrupt

00:29:29Alpha Kane's ceremony?

00:29:30But Kane recognized

00:29:32it instantly.

00:29:33It was him.

00:29:34And the Beta.

00:29:36Turn it off!

00:29:37Shut it down right now!

00:29:39His roar tore

00:29:41through the hall.

00:29:42The host rushed

00:29:43backstage,

00:29:44trying to stop

00:29:45the video,

00:29:46but the system

00:29:46had frozen.

00:29:47Nothing responded.

00:29:49The footage continued.

00:29:51And then,

00:29:53their faces

00:29:53came clearly

00:29:54into view.

00:29:55The entire venue

00:29:57erupted.

00:29:58Oh my god!

00:30:00That's Alpha Kane!

00:30:02Did he betray

00:30:03the mate bond?

00:30:04Wasn't he supposed

00:30:05to only love Area?

00:30:06What is this?

00:30:08Online,

00:30:09the live stream

00:30:10had already drawn

00:30:11nearly 5 million viewers.

00:30:13Comments flooded in.

00:30:15So he's just another

00:30:16Alpha who can't

00:30:16control himself.

00:30:17I can't believe

00:30:18I ever thought

00:30:19he was perfect.

00:30:20Shut down the stream

00:30:21and the screen!

00:30:22Immediately!

00:30:23Kane immediately

00:30:24ordered the stream

00:30:25and screen

00:30:25to be shut down,

00:30:26then grabbed

00:30:27the microphone.

00:30:28Is allowed

00:30:29to speak of this,

00:30:30not a word!

00:30:32Someone muttered

00:30:33under their breath.

00:30:35Didn't they say

00:30:36this was Aria's surprise?

00:30:37Maybe she already knew.

00:30:40Kane's face

00:30:41went pale.

00:30:42That was the one

00:30:43possibility

00:30:44he refused to accept.

00:30:46He clung to the belief

00:30:47that I was oblivious,

00:30:49that I never checked

00:30:50the surveillance,

00:30:51that as long as

00:30:52no one said anything,

00:30:53I would never know.

00:30:54But I still

00:30:56hadn't appeared.

00:30:57And now,

00:30:59panic began

00:31:00to take hold.

00:31:01He pulled out

00:31:02his phone

00:31:03and sent a message.

00:31:04Little Wolf,

00:31:05are you here?

00:31:07One minute.

00:31:08Two minutes.

00:31:09No reply.

00:31:11His hands

00:31:12began to sweat

00:31:13as he prepared

00:31:14to call.

00:31:15Then,

00:31:16slowly,

00:31:17the doors

00:31:18to the hall

00:31:19opened.

00:31:20Every head

00:31:21turned.

00:31:24Hope lit up

00:31:25Kane's face.

00:31:26He thought

00:31:27his little wolf

00:31:28had finally arrived.

00:31:29The video

00:31:30had already

00:31:31been dealt with.

00:31:32Holding the bouquet,

00:31:34he stepped forward,

00:31:36ready to welcome

00:31:37his mate.

00:31:38He began

00:31:39to extend his hand.

00:31:40And then

00:31:41he froze.

00:31:43The ones

00:31:44entering

00:31:45were not the woman

00:31:46he had been waiting for.

00:31:48It was a group

00:31:49of staff

00:31:50dressed in black,

00:31:51behind them.

00:31:52They carried

00:31:53a coffin.

00:31:54Rage ignited

00:31:55in Kane's eyes.

00:31:57One of the staff

00:31:58stepped forward,

00:31:59sympathy written

00:32:00across his face.

00:32:03Alpha Kane,

00:32:04your mate

00:32:04took her own life

00:32:05yesterday.

00:32:06Please accept

00:32:07our condolences.

00:32:08Kane didn't believe

00:32:09a word of it.

00:32:10Just yesterday,

00:32:12we had spoken.

00:32:13I had sounded

00:32:14completely fine.

00:32:16How could I be dead?

00:32:18He let out

00:32:19a cold laugh.

00:32:20The video

00:32:21wasn't enough,

00:32:22so now you're

00:32:22making up lies

00:32:23about my mate's death?

00:32:25Tell me,

00:32:26who sent you?

00:32:27The staff member's

00:32:28expression grew

00:32:29even more sympathetic.

00:32:31He gestured

00:32:32toward the coffin.

00:32:33If you don't believe it,

00:32:35you can see for yourself.

00:32:38Kane laughed again,

00:32:39anger sharpening

00:32:40his voice.

00:32:42Fine.

00:32:44Let's see what kind

00:32:44of trick you're

00:32:45trying to pull.

00:32:46He strode

00:32:47toward the coffin.

00:32:48But the moment

00:32:49he looked inside,

00:32:51all the strength

00:32:52drained from his body.

00:32:53Arya.

00:32:54He stumbled forward,

00:32:56dropping to his knees

00:32:57beside the coffin,

00:32:59his hands trembling

00:33:00as he searched

00:33:01for even the slightest

00:33:02difference between

00:33:02the person inside

00:33:03and me.

00:33:05His gaze moved

00:33:06inch by inch.

00:33:08But there was

00:33:09no difference.

00:33:10The woman lying

00:33:11there was me,

00:33:12the same Arya

00:33:13who had been

00:33:14by his side

00:33:15for five years.

00:33:16How could this be?

00:33:18Just yesterday,

00:33:19we had spoken.

00:33:21There had been

00:33:21no sign,

00:33:22no hint

00:33:23that I would

00:33:23choose death.

00:33:27No,

00:33:28this couldn't

00:33:29be real!

00:33:30He clung to denial,

00:33:32telling himself

00:33:32that his little wolf

00:33:34was just angry,

00:33:35that I was upset

00:33:36he hadn't been

00:33:37with me these

00:33:37past few days,

00:33:39that this was

00:33:39some kind

00:33:40of cruel joke.

00:33:41Cain reached out,

00:33:42his hand shaking

00:33:44as he tried

00:33:44to touch my face,

00:33:45as if convincing

00:33:46himself I was

00:33:47only asleep.

00:33:48Little wolf,

00:33:49why is your body

00:33:50so cold?

00:33:52Let me warm you

00:33:53up, okay?

00:33:54Today is our

00:33:55mate ceremony.

00:33:56You wouldn't

00:33:57leave me here alone,

00:33:58would you?

00:34:00By the end,

00:34:01his voice had

00:34:02begun to tremble.

00:34:04A staff member

00:34:05stepped forward

00:34:06and tried to

00:34:07help him up.

00:34:07Alpha Cain,

00:34:08please accept

00:34:09our condolences.

00:34:11Miss Aria

00:34:12has passed.

00:34:14That sentence

00:34:15snapped something

00:34:16inside him.

00:34:17He shoved

00:34:17the man away,

00:34:18his eyes bloodshot

00:34:20as he roared.

00:34:21No,

00:34:22Aria isn't dead!

00:34:24She's just

00:34:25asleep!

00:34:26The staff

00:34:27fell silent

00:34:28for a moment

00:34:28before handing

00:34:29him my phone.

00:34:30Alpha Cain,

00:34:31Miss Aria

00:34:31took her own life

00:34:32yesterday at

00:34:32six in the evening.

00:34:33When we arrived,

00:34:34she said she left

00:34:35you a final message

00:34:35on her phone.

00:34:36The moment

00:34:37those words

00:34:37registered,

00:34:38Cain's heart

00:34:39lurched.

00:34:40If he remembered

00:34:41correctly,

00:34:42that was exactly

00:34:43when our call

00:34:44had ended.

00:34:45Right after that,

00:34:47he had been

00:34:47with the beta.

00:34:49His face

00:34:49turned even paler.

00:34:51With shaking hands,

00:34:53he unlocked

00:34:53the phone.

00:34:54The moment

00:34:55the screen lit up,

00:34:56he saw the note

00:34:57I had left behind.

00:34:59Cain,

00:35:00when I was 22,

00:35:02you were the one

00:35:03who pulled me

00:35:04out of a barren world.

00:35:05You gave me

00:35:06a kind of love

00:35:07I had never known

00:35:07before.

00:35:08These five years

00:35:09with you

00:35:10have been the happiest

00:35:11time of my life.

00:35:13I just never expected

00:35:14that happiness

00:35:15would end so quickly.

00:35:16In only five years,

00:35:19the man who once

00:35:20held me

00:35:20and promised to love

00:35:21me forever

00:35:22disappeared.

00:35:23For you,

00:35:25half a wink ago,

00:35:26I risked my life

00:35:27to undergo blood

00:35:27awakening.

00:35:28I only wanted

00:35:29to fully feel

00:35:30your emotions

00:35:30during our mate

00:35:31ceremony.

00:35:33But I never imagined

00:35:34that the first thing

00:35:35I would sense

00:35:35after awakening

00:35:36would be your desire

00:35:37intertwined

00:35:38with another beta.

00:35:39These past two weeks,

00:35:40I broke down.

00:35:41I despaired.

00:35:42And in the end,

00:35:44everything went quiet.

00:35:46I understand now.

00:35:48There is no such thing

00:35:50as forever.

00:35:53Thank you for once

00:35:54being part of my life.

00:35:56But in the next life,

00:35:58no,

00:35:58in any life,

00:36:00I never want

00:36:01to meet you again.

00:36:02By the third line,

00:36:04Cain had already

00:36:04lost control.

00:36:06He had never cried

00:36:07in front of anyone.

00:36:09Now,

00:36:10tears fell

00:36:11uncontrollably

00:36:12onto the screen.

00:36:14His face drained

00:36:15of all color.

00:36:16His body swayed,

00:36:18unsteady,

00:36:19before his legs

00:36:20gave out

00:36:21and he collapsed

00:36:22to his knees.

00:36:23Only now

00:36:24did he understand.

00:36:26I had awakened

00:36:27long ago.

00:36:28I had known everything.

00:36:30Fragments

00:36:31of the past

00:36:31two weeks

00:36:32flooded his mind.

00:36:34The gathering

00:36:35where his friends

00:36:36joked about him

00:36:37and the beta.

00:36:38The nights

00:36:39he brought her home.

00:36:40The way he left me

00:36:41before the ceremony,

00:36:43just to be with her.

00:36:45Even that call,

00:36:46when he let the beta

00:36:48interrupt

00:36:48without a second thought.

00:36:50The more he remembered,

00:36:52the sharper

00:36:53the pain

00:36:53in his chest

00:36:54became,

00:36:55until he could

00:36:55barely breathe.

00:36:56What had he done?

00:36:57I had risked my life

00:36:59for blood awakening.

00:37:00And he had taken

00:37:02advantage of what

00:37:03he believed

00:37:03was my weakness.

00:37:05Indulging himself

00:37:06without restraint,

00:37:07he couldn't even

00:37:08begin to imagine it.

00:37:10I had returned home,

00:37:12heart full of anticipation,

00:37:14after awakening.

00:37:15Only to be met

00:37:17with the overwhelming

00:37:18sensation of his desire

00:37:19tangled with someone else's.

00:37:22The despair.

00:37:23The collapse.

00:37:24It must have shattered me.

00:37:27Endless pain spread

00:37:28through him.

00:37:29Suffocating.

00:37:31Inescapable.

00:37:32That day,

00:37:33when he heard me say

00:37:34I was leaving,

00:37:35it hadn't been

00:37:36about a friend.

00:37:38It had been about me.

00:37:40The signs

00:37:40had always been there.

00:37:42My death

00:37:43hadn't come out

00:37:44of nowhere.

00:37:45He had simply

00:37:46never seen it.

00:37:47In a daze,

00:37:49he thought he saw

00:37:50himself at 22.

00:37:51That younger version

00:37:53of him looked at him

00:37:54with nothing

00:37:54but disappointment.

00:37:56You betrayed Aria.

00:37:58You broke

00:37:59your mate bond.

00:38:00This is your punishment.

00:38:02Aria has left you forever.

00:38:04And the final lines

00:38:05of my message

00:38:06cut deeper

00:38:06than anything else.

00:38:08The little wolf

00:38:09he loved

00:38:10never wanted

00:38:11to meet him again.

00:38:14Only then

00:38:15did he realize

00:38:16how deeply

00:38:17I must have been hurt

00:38:18to write those words.

00:38:20And the one

00:38:21responsible for all

00:38:22of it was him.

00:38:23The moment

00:38:24the guests saw

00:38:24the coffin,

00:38:25shock rippled

00:38:26through the entire venue.

00:38:28Then,

00:38:29everything clicked.

00:38:31The delayed entrance.

00:38:33The explosive video.

00:38:35They understood.

00:38:37I had known

00:38:38all along.

00:38:39The video

00:38:40had been my doing.

00:38:41The coffin,

00:38:43delivered to the ceremony

00:38:44after my death,

00:38:45had been my final arrangement.

00:38:48A heavy silence

00:38:50settled over the crowd,

00:38:51followed by quiet sighs.

00:38:54One by one,

00:38:55the guests

00:38:56who had arrived

00:38:56in celebration

00:38:57began to leave,

00:38:59shaking their heads.

00:39:00In the end,

00:39:01only Kane remained.

00:39:03Kneeling in front

00:39:04of the coffin.

00:39:05At the burial,

00:39:07Kane stood off

00:39:08to the side

00:39:08like a man hollowed out,

00:39:10his expression numb,

00:39:11his soul already broken.

00:39:13Only when the coffin

00:39:14was about to be sealed

00:39:16beneath the earth

00:39:17did he suddenly

00:39:17snap back to himself.

00:39:20He lunged forward,

00:39:21eyes bloodshot,

00:39:22refusing to let

00:39:24anyone touch it.

00:39:25It took several people

00:39:26working together

00:39:27to drag him back

00:39:28and hold him in place.

00:39:30When the final shovelful

00:39:32of dirt fell,

00:39:33all that remained

00:39:34for him was a gravestone.

00:39:36And the black and white

00:39:37photograph of my smiling face.

00:39:40He broke free

00:39:41from their grip,

00:39:42dropped heavily

00:39:43to his knees,

00:39:44and leaned his forehead

00:39:45against the stone.

00:39:47His hand traced my name

00:39:49as tears slid

00:39:50endlessly down his face.

00:39:51Little wolf,

00:39:52this is all my fault,

00:39:54I'm sorry.

00:39:55But apologies

00:39:56that come too late

00:39:57never reached the one

00:39:59who needed them.

00:40:00Kane returned home

00:40:02like a walking corpse.

00:40:04There was no life

00:40:05left in his face.

00:40:06The moment he pushed

00:40:08open the door,

00:40:09he froze.

00:40:11It had only been

00:40:12three days.

00:40:13Yet the entire house

00:40:15felt unbearably cold.

00:40:17After we got together,

00:40:19I had always liked

00:40:20adding small things

00:40:21to the house,

00:40:22little decorations,

00:40:24soft touches,

00:40:25warm details

00:40:26that slowly turned

00:40:27that cold villa

00:40:29into something

00:40:29that felt like home.

00:40:31Now,

00:40:32there was nothing.

00:40:33Everything was gone.

00:40:35The house had reverted

00:40:37to what it had been

00:40:38five years ago.

00:40:41Cold.

00:40:42Empty.

00:40:43Lifeless.

00:40:45Kane stood there,

00:40:46staring at the

00:40:47unfamiliar familiarity

00:40:49of it all,

00:40:50on the verge

00:40:50of losing his mind.

00:40:52He summoned

00:40:53all the servants,

00:40:55his voice sharp

00:40:55with anger.

00:40:56Who threw away

00:40:57Arya's things?

00:40:58I never gave that order.

00:41:00Who dared to do it?

00:41:01The servants exchanged

00:41:03uneasy glances.

00:41:05Sir,

00:41:07Miss Arya told us

00:41:08to clear everything out

00:41:09three days ago.

00:41:11She had us pile it

00:41:12all in the backyard.

00:41:13Then she set it

00:41:15on fire herself.

00:41:17The last trace of light

00:41:19drained from Kane's eyes.

00:41:20At that moment,

00:41:22one of the servants

00:41:23stepped forward

00:41:24hesitantly

00:41:25and opened her palm.

00:41:26Sir,

00:41:27I found this

00:41:28while cleaning

00:41:29a few days ago.

00:41:30It looked valuable.

00:41:31Maybe Miss Arya

00:41:32threw it away

00:41:33by accident.

00:41:34Another servant

00:41:35approached,

00:41:36holding a bundle

00:41:37of white fabric strips.

00:41:39Sir,

00:41:40this was left

00:41:40in the house yesterday.

00:41:42It looked like

00:41:43a mate dress.

00:41:44There was a moonstone

00:41:45in the center

00:41:45so I didn't dare

00:41:46throw it away.

00:41:50Kane reached out

00:41:51with trembling hands.

00:41:53In one hand,

00:41:54he picked up the ring.

00:41:56In the other,

00:41:57he touched

00:41:58the torn remains

00:41:59of the dress,

00:42:00his fingers brushing

00:42:01over the moonstone

00:42:02engraved with A and K,

00:42:04forever.

00:42:05The engagement ring

00:42:07he had made himself.

00:42:08The mate dress

00:42:09he had specially commissioned.

00:42:11A sharp,

00:42:12bone-deep pain

00:42:13spread from his chest

00:42:14through his entire body.

00:42:16He might have wondered

00:42:17deep down,

00:42:18Arya,

00:42:19did you hate me that much?

00:42:24So much that you chose

00:42:25death to punish him?

00:42:28So much that you erased

00:42:30every trace of the happiness

00:42:32we once had?

00:42:32After the pain

00:42:33came something worse.

00:42:35Endless regret.

00:42:37Today was supposed

00:42:38to be the day

00:42:39he had looked forward

00:42:40to more than anything.

00:42:42The day he would

00:42:43finally complete

00:42:44the mate bond

00:42:44with the woman he loved.

00:42:46But he hadn't realized

00:42:48that he had already

00:42:49been standing

00:42:50at the edge of an abyss.

00:42:51And just as he was

00:42:53about to reach happiness,

00:42:55it struck.

00:42:56Dragging him down.

00:42:58Into a darkness

00:42:59with no end.

00:43:01No light.

00:43:03Not even a single trace.

00:43:07Kane drove everyone

00:43:08out of the house.

00:43:09Alone,

00:43:10he sat on the floor,

00:43:11holding the torn remains

00:43:13of the mate dress

00:43:14in his arms.

00:43:15The ring that once

00:43:16belonged to me now

00:43:16hung from his neck,

00:43:18threaded onto a cord.

00:43:20These were the last things

00:43:21that still carried my scent.

00:43:23With them,

00:43:24it almost felt like

00:43:25I was still there.

00:43:26Then,

00:43:27my phone in his pocket

00:43:29vibrated.

00:43:30He glanced down.

00:43:31A message.

00:43:33From the beta.

00:43:35Arya,

00:43:35So what if today

00:43:36is your mate's ceremony?

00:43:38Do you believe

00:43:39I can still call Kane away

00:43:40with just one message?

00:43:42Don't think

00:43:43becoming Luna

00:43:44means anything.

00:43:45I'm carrying

00:43:46Kane's first pup.

00:43:47Tell me,

00:43:48what matters more?

00:43:49Your ceremony

00:43:50or his child?

00:43:52Last night,

00:43:53he had his face

00:43:54against my stomach,

00:43:56saying he couldn't wait

00:43:57for the baby

00:43:58to be born.

00:43:58He's already excited

00:44:00to be a father.

00:44:01That Luna position

00:44:02of yours

00:44:03won't last long.

00:44:04Another message followed.

00:44:06A photo.

00:44:08Kane.

00:44:09Pressing his face

00:44:10against her stomach.

00:44:11Kane's fingers

00:44:13tightened around the phone.

00:44:14Then he scrolled up.

00:44:17Message after message.

00:44:19All sent to me.

00:44:21I'm pregnant.

00:44:22Kane and I

00:44:23have been together

00:44:24for a year.

00:44:25You're a pretty

00:44:26pathetic Omega.

00:44:28Not just words.

00:44:30There were

00:44:31countless

00:44:31intimate photos.

00:44:34And even a video.

00:44:35The beta.

00:44:36Wearing a mate dress.

00:44:38Beneath him.

00:44:40Kane's breathing

00:44:41grew heavier.

00:44:42He remembered.

00:44:43When she found out

00:44:45about the ceremony,

00:44:46she had insisted

00:44:47on having a dress too.

00:44:49He hadn't thought

00:44:50much of it.

00:44:51Just a dress.

00:44:52He told the designer

00:44:53to make her one as well.

00:44:55By then,

00:44:56I had already awakened.

00:44:58Kane shut his eyes.

00:45:00The memory of the boutique

00:45:02flashed through his mind.

00:45:04My expression.

00:45:05My silence.

00:45:06A sharp pain

00:45:08twisted through his chest.

00:45:09Now he understood.

00:45:11That was why I had torn

00:45:13the mate dress to pieces.

00:45:15His gaze dropped

00:45:16back to the screen.

00:45:18His grip tightened

00:45:19until his knuckles

00:45:20turned white.

00:45:21Rage burned in his eyes.

00:45:23That beta.

00:45:25He had warned her

00:45:26countless times

00:45:27not to tell me anything.

00:45:29And yet she had gone

00:45:31behind his back,

00:45:32provoking me

00:45:33again and again.

00:45:36His phone suddenly rang.

00:45:39He answered.

00:45:40On the other end,

00:45:42her voice was trembling,

00:45:43on the verge of tears.

00:45:45Kane,

00:45:46my stomach doesn't feel right.

00:45:48Do you think something's

00:45:49wrong with the baby?

00:45:50Can you take me

00:45:52to the hospital?

00:45:55Of course.

00:45:56I'll be right there.

00:45:57I'll be waiting.

00:45:58The fragile tone

00:45:59was nothing like

00:46:00the messages on my phone.

00:46:02As if she were

00:46:03two completely

00:46:04different people.

00:46:05A cold aura

00:46:06settled over Kane.

00:46:08Her voice

00:46:09immediately brightened.

00:46:10Kane's eyes darkened.

00:46:12Since she wanted

00:46:13to see him so badly,

00:46:16he would make sure

00:46:17she got exactly

00:46:18what she wanted.

00:46:20On the other side,

00:46:21the beta froze

00:46:22for a moment

00:46:23when she heard

00:46:23how quickly Kane agreed.

00:46:25Then a surge

00:46:26of excitement

00:46:27rushed through her.

00:46:28She had assumed

00:46:29that today was

00:46:30Kane's mate ceremony

00:46:31with me.

00:46:32Even if she used

00:46:33the child as an excuse

00:46:34to pull him away,

00:46:35she expected

00:46:36it would take

00:46:37a lot of effort.

00:46:38But he agreed

00:46:39without hesitation.

00:46:41Did that mean

00:46:42her place in Kane's heart

00:46:43had already

00:46:44surpassed mine?

00:46:46Besides,

00:46:47she was carrying,

00:46:48his only pup.

00:46:50A determined glint

00:46:51flashed across her eyes.

00:46:53She was probably

00:46:55thinking that

00:46:55even if I became

00:46:56Luna today,

00:46:57there was no guarantee

00:46:58I could hold on

00:46:59to that position.

00:47:01Before Kane arrived,

00:47:03she hurriedly changed

00:47:04into a sheer nightgown,

00:47:06sprayed on his

00:47:07favorite scent-based

00:47:08perfume,

00:47:09and reclined

00:47:10on the couch

00:47:10to wait.

00:47:12When Kane opened

00:47:13the door,

00:47:14the first thing he saw

00:47:15was her lying there

00:47:16in the thin fabric.

00:47:18A trace of coldness

00:47:19flickered through

00:47:20his eyes.

00:47:21So much for a stomach ache.

00:47:23More likely,

00:47:25this was just another

00:47:26trick to pull him

00:47:27away from Arya.

00:47:29It wasn't the first time

00:47:30she had used tactics

00:47:32like this.

00:47:33In the past,

00:47:34Kane treated her

00:47:35as nothing more

00:47:36than a distraction

00:47:36when he was bored.

00:47:38As long as she

00:47:39stayed obedient

00:47:40and catered to him,

00:47:42he didn't mind

00:47:43indulging her a little.

00:47:45But that never meant

00:47:46he would tolerate

00:47:46her trying to take

00:47:48a place that wasn't hers.

00:47:50In his mind,

00:47:51there had only

00:47:52ever been one mate,

00:47:54from beginning to end,

00:47:55that was me.

00:47:57And for my death,

00:47:58she would have

00:47:59to pay the price.

00:48:02The beta didn't notice

00:48:04the chill radiating

00:48:05from him,

00:48:05she was still lost

00:48:07in her fantasy

00:48:07of becoming Luna.

00:48:09When she saw him,

00:48:10she put on

00:48:11a fragile expression

00:48:12and gently touched

00:48:13her flat stomach.

00:48:14Kane,

00:48:15I know today

00:48:16is your mate

00:48:17ceremony with Arya.

00:48:18I shouldn't have

00:48:19called you back,

00:48:20but my stomach

00:48:21really hurts.

00:48:22This is your first pup.

00:48:24I was worried

00:48:25something might go wrong,

00:48:26so I had no choice

00:48:27but to call.

00:48:30Kane looked at her coldly.

00:48:33Where does it hurt?

00:48:34She didn't catch

00:48:35the icy edge

00:48:36in his voice.

00:48:37She thought he was

00:48:38concerned about her.

00:48:39Just like before,

00:48:41she stepped closer,

00:48:42wrapping her arms

00:48:43around his neck

00:48:44and breathing softly

00:48:45near his ear.

00:48:46The baby says

00:48:48it misses its father.

00:48:50She had always been

00:48:51bold about things

00:48:52like this.

00:48:53She believed

00:48:54that my empathic

00:48:55sense was weak,

00:48:56that I could never

00:48:57give a man

00:48:57the same kind

00:48:58of experience in bed.

00:49:00That,

00:49:00in her mind,

00:49:01was the key

00:49:02to keeping Kane.

00:49:03And with the mate

00:49:04ceremony today

00:49:05adding an extra thrill,

00:49:07she was certain

00:49:08she could make him

00:49:08stay the night.

00:49:10She was already

00:49:11imagining how she

00:49:13would message me

00:49:13the next day

00:49:14to provoke me,

00:49:15completely missing

00:49:16the darkening expression

00:49:18on Kane's face.

00:49:20She took one of his hands

00:49:21and placed it

00:49:22on her stomach.

00:49:23When he didn't react,

00:49:24she guided his hand

00:49:25upward.

00:49:26Just as it was about

00:49:27to reach her chest,

00:49:28Kane slapped her heart

00:49:29across the face.

00:49:30Who gave you permission

00:49:31to touch me?

00:49:33She was knocked

00:49:34to the floor,

00:49:35five clear finger marks

00:49:37blooming across her cheek.

00:49:39Clutching her swollen face,

00:49:41she stared at him

00:49:42in disbelief.

00:49:44She had been with him

00:49:45for a full year,

00:49:46and he had never

00:49:47laid a hand on her before.

00:49:49What had changed?

00:49:51And she was carrying

00:49:52his child.

00:49:53How could he be

00:49:54so ruthless?

00:49:56Kane,

00:49:58what did I do wrong?

00:49:59Why would you hit me?

00:50:01Haven't we always

00:50:01been like this?

00:50:03Her voice trembled,

00:50:04tears welling

00:50:05in her eyes.

00:50:07But the sight

00:50:08of her crying

00:50:09did nothing

00:50:09to soften him.

00:50:11His expression

00:50:11grew even darker,

00:50:13like a storm

00:50:14about to break.

00:50:16Who gave you

00:50:16the nerve

00:50:17to tell Arya

00:50:18about us?

00:50:20The beta's face

00:50:21went pale.

00:50:22She hadn't expected

00:50:24Kane to find out,

00:50:25but she still

00:50:26denied it on instinct.

00:50:27Kane,

00:50:28what are you talking about?

00:50:29I didn't say

00:50:30anything to Arya.

00:50:32Kane let out

00:50:33a cold laugh,

00:50:34his hand clamping

00:50:35down hard

00:50:35on her chin.

00:50:36You're still

00:50:37trying to lie?

00:50:38If I hadn't

00:50:39seen those messages

00:50:40myself,

00:50:41I never would have

00:50:42guessed best

00:50:43you had two faces,

00:50:44playing the obedient

00:50:46little lamb

00:50:46in front of me,

00:50:47while acting arrogant

00:50:49as hell

00:50:49in front of Arya.

00:50:51I've warned you

00:50:52countless times,

00:50:54Arya is the only

00:50:55Omega I have

00:50:55ever truly loved.

00:50:57You are nothing

00:50:58more than a pet

00:50:58I kept around

00:50:59for amusement.

00:51:01You had a hand

00:51:02in Arya's death,

00:51:03and you're going

00:51:05to pay for it.

00:51:06His grip

00:51:07shifted to her throat,

00:51:09fingers tightening

00:51:10with each second.

00:51:11The veins in his arms

00:51:13stood out sharply,

00:51:14making him look

00:51:15terrifying.

00:51:17Driven by the instinct

00:51:18to survive,

00:51:19the beta clawed

00:51:20at his hand

00:51:21with both of hers,

00:51:22but he didn't

00:51:22loosen his grip.

00:51:24She stared at the face

00:51:25she had once

00:51:26been obsessed with,

00:51:28and for the first time,

00:51:29she felt nothing

00:51:30but fear.

00:51:31As the air

00:51:32in her lungs ran out,

00:51:34she forced out

00:51:35a single word.

00:51:38Child.

00:51:40At that word,

00:51:42Kane abruptly

00:51:42released her.

00:51:43She collapsed

00:51:44to the ground,

00:51:46gasping for air,

00:51:47coughing violently,

00:51:49overwhelmed by the

00:51:50relief of still

00:51:51being alive.

00:51:52Kane looked down

00:51:54at her pathetic state

00:51:55without the slightest

00:51:56flicker of emotion.

00:51:57All he could think

00:51:58about was getting

00:51:59rid of the child.

00:52:01It was because of her

00:52:02that I had taken

00:52:03my own life.

00:52:04Now,

00:52:05every time he saw her,

00:52:07he was reminded

00:52:08that she had destroyed

00:52:09the person he loved most.

00:52:11Even the pup in her womb

00:52:13filled him with disgust.

00:52:15But as the beta recovered,

00:52:17a strange sense of joy

00:52:18rose in her heart.

00:52:20It was as if she had

00:52:21forgotten the terror

00:52:22from moments ago.

00:52:24Only one thought

00:52:25echoed in her mind.

00:52:27Aria was dead.

00:52:31Out of jealousy,

00:52:33she hadn't watched

00:52:34the mate ceremony

00:52:35or looked up

00:52:36any news about it.

00:52:37She hadn't expected

00:52:38something so drastic

00:52:40to happen.

00:52:41To her,

00:52:42it had only been

00:52:43a few provocative messages

00:52:45and some suggestive photos.

00:52:47She never imagined

00:52:48I would be so fragile.

00:52:50Still,

00:52:51she felt grateful.

00:52:53This was her chance.

00:52:55Struggling to her feet,

00:52:57tears pooling in her eyes,

00:52:59she grabbed the hem

00:53:00of his shirt

00:53:00and pleaded.

00:53:02Cain,

00:53:03I didn't mean it.

00:53:04I just love you too much.

00:53:05I didn't want our child

00:53:07to be born with a bad name.

00:53:09I never thought

00:53:10Aria would take

00:53:11her own life over this.

00:53:12I was devastated

00:53:13when I heard.

00:53:14But she's gone now.

00:53:16We have to move forward,

00:53:17don't we?

00:53:19I'm carrying your pup.

00:53:21As she spoke,

00:53:22she gently stroked

00:53:23her still flat stomach.

00:53:25She knew Cain

00:53:26had always cared

00:53:27about the child.

00:53:29She assumed

00:53:30he had let her go earlier

00:53:31because he didn't want

00:53:32anything to happen to it.

00:53:34As long as she carried

00:53:35his pup,

00:53:36she believed

00:53:37she held a shield

00:53:38that would protect her

00:53:39from anything.

00:53:40She was wrong.

00:53:42Cain lifted his hand

00:53:44and lightly patted

00:53:45her cheek,

00:53:45his expression

00:53:47utterly cold.

00:53:49If you hadn't

00:53:49mentioned the child,

00:53:50I might have forgotten.

00:53:52Every time I think

00:53:54about how you caused

00:53:55Aria's death,

00:53:56I can't stand

00:53:57the sight of you.

00:53:58A child born

00:54:00from someone like you

00:54:01would only disgust me.

00:54:02The darkness

00:54:03in his tone

00:54:04finally made fear

00:54:05sink in.

00:54:06She stumbled back,

00:54:08clutching her lower abdomen

00:54:09with both hands,

00:54:10her voice trembling.

00:54:13Cain,

00:54:15what are you going

00:54:16to do to my child?

00:54:17He stepped closer,

00:54:19his voice cold

00:54:20and venomous.

00:54:21I'm having someone

00:54:22take you to the hospital

00:54:23to get rid of it.

00:54:25As soon as he

00:54:26finished speaking,

00:54:27he pulled out his phone

00:54:28and ordered his bodyguards

00:54:30to take her away

00:54:31for the procedure.

00:54:33Come up,

00:54:34take her to the hospital

00:54:35and arranged

00:54:35the procedure immediately.

00:54:37Tears streaming

00:54:37down her face.

00:54:39No!

00:54:40This is your child too,

00:54:42Cain!

00:54:42How can you do this?

00:54:44Despair filled

00:54:45her expression.

00:54:46She couldn't believe

00:54:47he could be this heartless,

00:54:49completely indifferent

00:54:50to the life inside her.

00:54:54Just yesterday,

00:54:55he had pressed his ear

00:54:57against her stomach.

00:54:58I want our child's

00:54:59first word to be

00:55:00dad.

00:55:02And now,

00:55:03he could order its death

00:55:04without even blinking.

00:55:06No!

00:55:07She would never

00:55:08accept this.

00:55:09This is a living being.

00:55:11It's the result

00:55:12of our love.

00:55:14Cain,

00:55:15just imagine it.

00:55:16Our child growing up,

00:55:17calling you dad

00:55:18and me mom.

00:55:20Wouldn't that be

00:55:21a beautiful life?

00:55:23She knew Cain

00:55:24hated being threatened,

00:55:26so she tried to appeal

00:55:27to his emotions.

00:55:29But he remained

00:55:30towering over her,

00:55:31his expression cold

00:55:32and unfeeling.

00:55:34Love?

00:55:35There's nothing noble

00:55:37about what we have.

00:55:38It's nothing but

00:55:39a physical relationship.

00:55:41The only person

00:55:42I love is Arya.

00:55:43The bodyguards rushed in

00:55:44as soon as they got the call.

00:55:46They pushed the door open

00:55:47and grabbed the trembling

00:55:49beta,

00:55:49preparing to take her

00:55:50to the hospital

00:55:51as ordered.

00:55:53She struggled desperately,

00:55:55but they were

00:55:56professionally trained.

00:55:57There was no way

00:55:58she could break free.

00:55:59As she was about

00:56:01to be dragged out,

00:56:02she screamed at Cain

00:56:04with everything

00:56:04she had left.

00:56:06Cain,

00:56:07you say you only love Arya,

00:56:09but we spent

00:56:09so many nights together.

00:56:11Did none of that

00:56:12mean anything to you?

00:56:14You told me

00:56:14you loved me too!

00:56:16Cain didn't react at all.

00:56:18He simply motioned

00:56:19for the bodyguards

00:56:20to take her away.

00:56:22All the way

00:56:23to the hospital

00:56:23she fought against them,

00:56:25even trying to call out

00:56:27to the doctors

00:56:27and nurses for help.

00:56:29But this was a private hospital

00:56:31owned by Cain's company.

00:56:33Everyone there

00:56:34knew exactly who he was.

00:56:36Whatever he said,

00:56:37they followed.

00:56:38She was strapped

00:56:40to the operating table.

00:56:42As the anesthesia

00:56:43was injected,

00:56:44her consciousness

00:56:45slowly faded away.

00:56:47When she woke up again,

00:56:49even the slightest movement

00:56:50sent a heavy ache

00:56:51through her lower abdomen.

00:56:53Her pup was gone.

00:56:56The light in her eyes

00:56:57had completely faded.

00:56:59She stared blankly

00:57:00at the ceiling,

00:57:01hollow and motionless.

00:57:03After confirming

00:57:04with the doctor

00:57:05that the procedure

00:57:06was complete,

00:57:07Cain came to her bedside.

00:57:09When you're discharged,

00:57:10leave this city.

00:57:11I don't want to see you again.

00:57:15Every time he looked at her,

00:57:17he was reminded

00:57:18of his betrayal,

00:57:19reminded of my death.

00:57:21It felt like his heart

00:57:22was being carved apart.

00:57:24The beta's eyes

00:57:25shifted slightly.

00:57:27She already understood

00:57:28that becoming Luna

00:57:29was no longer possible.

00:57:31Now,

00:57:32she couldn't even

00:57:33remain as his lover.

00:57:34So,

00:57:35she gave up

00:57:36on everything.

00:57:38Cain,

00:57:39do you think

00:57:40you're some kind

00:57:41of tragic romantic now?

00:57:43You got rid of

00:57:44the illegitimate child,

00:57:45drove away your mistress,

00:57:47and now you get

00:57:48to mourn

00:57:49your dead lover

00:57:50all by yourself?

00:57:52Her mocking tone

00:57:53made Cain's fists clench.

00:57:55He shot her

00:57:55a sharp warning look.

00:57:57Enough.

00:57:58The first time

00:57:59we slept together,

00:58:00I didn't beg you.

00:58:01You were the one

00:58:02who couldn't resist

00:58:03and pushed me down.

00:58:04And a few days ago,

00:58:06you were the one

00:58:07who brought me home.

00:58:08You came downstairs

00:58:09in the middle of the night

00:58:10to find me.

00:58:11I never forced you.

00:58:13Arya's death

00:58:14was your doing.

00:58:15You're the one

00:58:16who drove her to it.

00:58:18Cain had already known,

00:58:20deep down,

00:58:21that his betrayal

00:58:22was what led to my death.

00:58:24But hearing it spoken

00:58:26so bluntly

00:58:27felt like a knife

00:58:28plunging into his heart

00:58:30all over again,

00:58:31tearing it open

00:58:32and leaving it bleeding.

00:58:34After a full day

00:58:35of spreading online,

00:58:36the news of Cain

00:58:37cheating with a beta

00:58:38had completely exploded

00:58:40across the internet.

00:58:41Trending topics

00:58:42were flooded

00:58:43with his name.

00:58:45Cain scandal

00:58:46Cain cheating

00:58:48with a beta

00:58:48Arya suicide

00:58:51A month ago,

00:58:52Cain's public courtship

00:58:54had already caused

00:58:55a massive sensation.

00:58:56He had even promised

00:58:57the upcoming

00:58:58mate ceremony

00:58:59will be more spectacular

00:59:00than anything

00:59:01anyone has ever seen.

00:59:03People everywhere

00:59:05had been waiting

00:59:06to witness

00:59:06what they called

00:59:07the mate ceremony

00:59:08of the century.

00:59:09So when that

00:59:11highly anticipated

00:59:12ceremony

00:59:13turned into a funeral,

00:59:15when news broke

00:59:16that an Omega

00:59:17had taken her own life

00:59:18after discovering

00:59:19her Alpha's betrayal,

00:59:21and even had her coffin

00:59:23delivered to the

00:59:23ceremony site,

00:59:25it instantly captured

00:59:27everyone's attention.

00:59:29Cain's carefully crafted

00:59:30image shattered overnight.

00:59:34He went from being

00:59:35the most desired

00:59:36Alpha online

00:59:37to a man

00:59:38universally condemned

00:59:39for destroying

00:59:40the person

00:59:40he claimed to love.

00:59:42I'm done believing

00:59:44in love.

00:59:44What kind of trash

00:59:45Alpha is this?

00:59:47Arya deserved

00:59:48so much better.

00:59:49Why would she end

00:59:51her life over

00:59:51someone like him?

00:59:53Are all Alphas

00:59:54like this?

00:59:55Acting one way

00:59:56in public and another

00:59:57behind closed doors?

00:59:58It's disgusting.

00:59:59I actually believed

01:00:01in their perfect

01:00:01love story.

01:00:02The backlash

01:00:03was relentless.

01:00:06Companies that had

01:00:07partnered with Cain's

01:00:08group began cutting

01:00:09ties one after another.

01:00:11In no time

01:00:12the entire corporation

01:00:13was thrown into turmoil.

01:00:16But Cain himself

01:00:18had shut himself

01:00:19inside his bedroom.

01:00:20He lay curled up

01:00:21on the bed,

01:00:22eyes closed,

01:00:23clutching the torn

01:00:24mate ceremony suit

01:00:26I had ripped apart,

01:00:27as if holding it close

01:00:28could somehow

01:00:29bring back my scent.

01:00:31His parents,

01:00:32who had been

01:00:32overseas on business,

01:00:34rushed back

01:00:35as soon as they heard

01:00:36the news.

01:00:37It took everything

01:00:38over the rest

01:00:38to stay back

01:00:39to try out

01:00:40the store of business.

01:00:41and keep the company

01:00:42from spiraling further.

01:00:44The moment they finished

01:00:45handling corporate matters,

01:00:47they hurried

01:00:48straight to the villa.

01:00:50As soon as they

01:00:51walked in,

01:00:51a servant approached

01:00:53them anxiously.

01:00:54Sir, ma'am,

01:00:55the young master

01:00:56hasn't left his room

01:00:57for over a day.

01:00:59We've brought food

01:01:00upstairs,

01:01:00but he won't eat.

01:01:01He won't answer

01:01:03the door either.

01:01:04We didn't dare

01:01:05force our way in,

01:01:06but it's been so long

01:01:07we're worried

01:01:08something might have

01:01:09happened.

01:01:09The moment

01:01:10they heard this,

01:01:11both of them

01:01:12felt their hearts drop.

01:01:13They hadn't realized

01:01:14their son had deteriorated

01:01:16to the point

01:01:17of refusing to eat.

01:01:19They rushed upstairs.

01:01:21Kane!

01:01:21Open the door!

01:01:22Kane!

01:01:23No matter how hard

01:01:23they knocked,

01:01:24there was no response.

01:01:26No matter how many times

01:01:27they called his name,

01:01:29there was only silence.

01:01:31Kane's mother's voice

01:01:32trembled with fear.

01:01:33I think something's

01:01:34happened to him.

01:01:37Break the door down.

01:01:41When the door was

01:01:42forced open,

01:01:43they found the curtains

01:01:44drawn tightly shut,

01:01:45blocking out every

01:01:46trace of light.

01:01:48Kane remained curled

01:01:49up on the bed,

01:01:50still clutching the

01:01:51torn mate ceremony

01:01:52suit.

01:01:52Even with everyone

01:01:53entering the room,

01:01:55he didn't react at all.

01:01:56The moment his mother

01:01:57saw how gaunt his face

01:01:59had become,

01:02:00her eyes filled

01:02:00with tears.

01:02:03England.

01:02:05Standing in front

01:02:06of the sprawling

01:02:07Ashford Manor,

01:02:08I still felt like

01:02:10I was dreaming.

01:02:11I was no longer

01:02:12Phoenix.

01:02:13Now,

01:02:14I was Lyra Phoenix.

01:02:16I never imagined

01:02:18that a simple

01:02:18trip abroad

01:02:19would lead me

01:02:20to finding

01:02:21my biological parents.

01:02:24On the plane,

01:02:25a well-dressed woman

01:02:26seated next to me

01:02:27kept glancing

01:02:28in my direction.

01:02:30Out of politeness,

01:02:31I greeted her first,

01:02:32and we quickly

01:02:33fell into conversation.

01:02:36She told me

01:02:36she was part

01:02:37of the werewolf kind,

01:02:39a Chinese family

01:02:40settled in England.

01:02:41This trip back

01:02:42had been for one

01:02:43reason only,

01:02:44she was searching

01:02:45for her missing daughter.

01:02:47She and her husband

01:02:48had been running

01:02:49businesses overseas

01:02:50for years.

01:02:51When their youngest

01:02:52daughter was born,

01:02:54it happened to be

01:02:54during a full moon,

01:02:56and they were in

01:02:57China at the time.

01:02:58They decided to

01:02:59stay an extra month,

01:03:01and leave

01:03:01after the baby's

01:03:02one-month milestone.

01:03:04But the day

01:03:05before they were

01:03:06supposed to leave,

01:03:07their daughter

01:03:08disappeared.

01:03:09They called the police

01:03:11immediately,

01:03:12and searched

01:03:12with friends,

01:03:13but after an entire month,

01:03:15there was still

01:03:16no trace.

01:03:17The authorities

01:03:18believed the child

01:03:19had likely been trafficked,

01:03:21and the chances

01:03:21of finding her

01:03:22were slim.

01:03:23With their visas

01:03:24expiring,

01:03:25they had no choice

01:03:26but to leave

01:03:27the country.

01:03:28Even so,

01:03:29they never gave up.

01:03:31They entrusted

01:03:32friends in China

01:03:33to continue searching,

01:03:35and every year,

01:03:36they returned

01:03:36to that same city,

01:03:38staying for a full month

01:03:39to look for her.

01:03:41This was the 26th year.

01:03:44Everyone around them

01:03:45had urged them

01:03:46to let go,

01:03:47but they held on

01:03:48to the smallest

01:03:49thread of hope.

01:03:50This time,

01:03:51they had returned

01:03:52empty-handed once again.

01:03:53But when she saw me,

01:03:56she felt an unexplainable

01:03:58sense of familiarity.

01:03:59That was why

01:04:00she had kept

01:04:01looking at me.

01:04:03Strangely enough,

01:04:04I felt the same

01:04:05warmth from her.

01:04:07Without even realizing it,

01:04:09I began telling her

01:04:10about my past.

01:04:12When she learned

01:04:12I was an orphan,

01:04:14and that I came

01:04:14from the same city

01:04:15where her daughter

01:04:16had gone missing,

01:04:17her emotions

01:04:18became visibly stirred.

01:04:20She grasped

01:04:21my hands tightly,

01:04:22and asked if I would

01:04:24be willing to take

01:04:25a DNA test

01:04:26after we landed.

01:04:27Looking at the

01:04:28hopeful expressions

01:04:29on both her face

01:04:30and her husband's,

01:04:32I found myself

01:04:33nodding.

01:04:37The moment we got

01:04:38off the plane,

01:04:39they had their driver

01:04:40take us straight

01:04:41to the fastest

01:04:42GenCore lab available.

01:04:44The wait felt endless.

01:04:46But when the results

01:04:47finally came back,

01:04:49everything changed.

01:04:50I was their daughter.

01:04:53The moment they saw

01:04:54the confirmation,

01:04:55they pulled me

01:04:56into their arms

01:04:57and broke down

01:04:58in tears.

01:04:59And for the first

01:05:00time in my life,

01:05:01I understood something

01:05:03I had never known

01:05:04before.

01:05:05I was not unwanted.

01:05:07My parents loved me.

01:05:09They had spent

01:05:0926 years

01:05:11searching for me.

01:05:13After asking

01:05:14for my opinion,

01:05:15they kept the name

01:05:16Phoenix for me,

01:05:17but added a first name.

01:05:19Lyra.

01:05:20From that moment on,

01:05:22I became

01:05:22Lyra Phoenix.

01:05:24Ever since they

01:05:25found out who I was,

01:05:27my mother refused

01:05:28to let go of my hand,

01:05:30her eyes filled

01:05:31with warmth

01:05:31and affection.

01:05:33Even my father

01:05:34who carried himself

01:05:35with quiet restraint,

01:05:36couldn't hide

01:05:37the redness in his eyes

01:05:38as he looked at me.

01:05:41When we arrived

01:05:42at the estate,

01:05:43my mother led me

01:05:44eagerly to a bedroom door,

01:05:46like she had been

01:05:46waiting for this

01:05:47moment forever.

01:05:48Phoenix,

01:05:50your father and I

01:05:51have been waiting

01:05:51for you to come home.

01:05:53We've kept your room

01:05:54exactly as it was

01:05:55for 26 years.

01:05:56Now you're finally here,

01:05:58and it finally

01:05:59has its owner.

01:06:00Her voice trembled

01:06:02as she spoke.

01:06:03My father gently

01:06:04placed a hand

01:06:04on her shoulder,

01:06:05then nodded

01:06:06toward the door.

01:06:08Go on,

01:06:08take a look.

01:06:10See if you like

01:06:11what we prepared

01:06:11for you.

01:06:13A warmth spread

01:06:14through my chest,

01:06:15something I had

01:06:16never felt before.

01:06:18Family.

01:06:19I pushed open

01:06:20the heavy door.

01:06:21Inside was a beautifully

01:06:23styled European

01:06:24vintage bed.

01:06:26A window beside it

01:06:27looked out over

01:06:28the back garden,

01:06:29the view stretching

01:06:30peacefully into

01:06:31the distance.

01:06:33The entire room

01:06:34was covered

01:06:35in soft carpeting,

01:06:36and right in the center

01:06:37sat a neat stack

01:06:38of boxes.

01:06:42Curious,

01:06:43I asked,

01:06:43what's in these?

01:06:45My father stepped

01:06:46forward,

01:06:47picked one up,

01:06:48and handed it to me.

01:06:49Open it and see.

01:06:51I carefully unwrapped it.

01:06:53Inside was

01:06:55a diamond bracelet.

01:06:56A realization

01:06:57hit me instantly.

01:06:59I rushed

01:06:59to open the rest.

01:07:01A princess dress.

01:07:03A crown.

01:07:04A necklace.

01:07:06One after another.

01:07:07There were

01:07:09exactly 26 items.

01:07:12No more,

01:07:13no less.

01:07:15My eyes burned

01:07:16as tears welled up.

01:07:18These were

01:07:18birthday gifts.

01:07:20Even when I wasn't

01:07:21with them,

01:07:22they had prepared

01:07:22one for me

01:07:23every single year,

01:07:25waiting for the day

01:07:26I would finally

01:07:26come home

01:07:27and open them.

01:07:29Growing up

01:07:30in the orphanage,

01:07:31the bullying

01:07:32had convinced me

01:07:33that no one

01:07:33in this world

01:07:34would ever love me.

01:07:35So when Cain

01:07:37entered my life

01:07:38like a blazing light,

01:07:39I fell for him

01:07:41without hesitation.

01:07:42But now I finally

01:07:43understood.

01:07:45Even when I didn't

01:07:46know it,

01:07:47my parents

01:07:47had always loved me.

01:07:49I stepped forward

01:07:50and wrapped my arms

01:07:52tightly around them.

01:07:53Mom,

01:07:54Dad,

01:07:55I'm home.

01:07:57My mom looked

01:07:58at me helplessly.

01:07:59Phoenix,

01:08:00I promise

01:08:01he's a good person.

01:08:03Just meet him once.

01:08:04If you don't like him,

01:08:06I'll find a way

01:08:07to call it off,

01:08:08okay?

01:08:09The first problem

01:08:10I faced after coming home

01:08:11turned out to be

01:08:12an arranged match.

01:08:14Back when my mom

01:08:16and her best friend

01:08:16were pregnant

01:08:17at the same time,

01:08:18they made a promise.

01:08:19If one had a boy

01:08:21and the other a girl,

01:08:22they would arrange

01:08:23a future match.

01:08:24If the children

01:08:25were the same gender,

01:08:26they would grow up

01:08:27like siblings.

01:08:28When they found out

01:08:29it was a boy and a girl,

01:08:31they were thrilled.

01:08:32They thought their friendship

01:08:34would turn into family.

01:08:35But not long after,

01:08:37I was taken.

01:08:38The arrangement

01:08:39was put on hold.

01:08:41A few days ago,

01:08:43after confirming

01:08:44that I was single,

01:08:45my mom and her friend

01:08:46brought it up again

01:08:47at the same time.

01:08:49The man was still

01:08:50single too.

01:08:51So the two mothers

01:08:52decided to revive

01:08:53the arrangement

01:08:54and let us meet.

01:08:57After five years

01:08:59in a failed relationship,

01:09:00I still hadn't

01:09:01fully recovered.

01:09:03The idea of starting

01:09:04something new

01:09:05made me uneasy.

01:09:06But I didn't want

01:09:07to tell my mom

01:09:08everything I had been through.

01:09:09I didn't want her to worry,

01:09:11so I agreed to meet him.

01:09:13I figured I would

01:09:14just explain things

01:09:16clearly in person.

01:09:17Even being friends

01:09:19would be fine.

01:09:20The moment I nodded,

01:09:21my mom lit up

01:09:22with excitement

01:09:23and immediately

01:09:24started setting a time,

01:09:26as if afraid

01:09:26something might change.

01:09:28The two mothers

01:09:29scheduled dinner

01:09:30for that very afternoon

01:09:31at the estate.

01:09:33By the afternoon,

01:09:34my mom had even

01:09:36called in a stylist

01:09:37to get me ready.

01:09:38I had no choice

01:09:39but to let her fuss

01:09:41over me.

01:09:42What I didn't expect

01:09:44was that when I finally

01:09:45met my so-called fiancé,

01:09:47I recognized him

01:09:48instantly.

01:09:51You?

01:09:53You?

01:09:54We spoke at the same time.

01:09:56I stared at the man

01:09:57in front of me,

01:09:58surprised.

01:09:59It was Vincent Gray.

01:10:01Vincent clearly

01:10:01hadn't expected it either.

01:10:03My mom and his mother

01:10:05exchanged a knowing look,

01:10:06smiles flickering

01:10:08across their faces

01:10:09as they quickly

01:10:09made excuses to leave,

01:10:11giving us space.

01:10:12For a moment,

01:10:13the large garden

01:10:14felt awkwardly quiet

01:10:16with just the two of us.

01:10:18Vincent broke

01:10:19the silence first.

01:10:21Aria,

01:10:21I didn't expect

01:10:23the daughter

01:10:23the Lyra family

01:10:24found to be you.

01:10:25We had gone

01:10:26to the same university

01:10:27back in China,

01:10:28studying in the same major.

01:10:30I nodded.

01:10:32Given the relationship

01:10:33between our families,

01:10:35he must have already

01:10:36heard what happened to me.

01:10:37There was no need

01:10:38to explain further.

01:10:40He hesitated slightly

01:10:42before speaking again.

01:10:44Aria,

01:10:46I remember

01:10:47your empathic sense.

01:10:49I instinctively

01:10:50touched the back

01:10:51of my neck.

01:10:52I had never told

01:10:53my parents about

01:10:54my weak empathic sense.

01:10:56I didn't want them

01:10:57to know how unhappy

01:10:58my childhood had been.

01:11:00It would only make

01:11:01them feel guilty.

01:11:02So I told him everything.

01:11:04My five-year relationship

01:11:06with Cain,

01:11:07how it ended,

01:11:08and how my empathic sense

01:11:09finally went through

01:11:10its awakening.

01:11:12At the end,

01:11:13I added quietly,

01:11:14Vincent,

01:11:15I need you to keep

01:11:17this between us.

01:11:18I don't want my parents

01:11:19to worry.

01:11:20He pretended to think

01:11:21for a moment,

01:11:22then said with a hint

01:11:24of reluctance,

01:11:25I can do that.

01:11:28But I have one condition.

01:11:32I blinked in surprise.

01:11:34I hadn't interacted

01:11:35with Vincent much before,

01:11:37but I remembered him

01:11:38as easygoing and kind.

01:11:40Still, I was asking him

01:11:42for a favor.

01:11:43It was only fair.

01:11:44What's the condition?

01:11:46He smiled,

01:11:48a playful glint

01:11:49in his eyes.

01:11:50Can I stop calling you

01:11:52Aria and call you

01:11:53Phoenix instead?

01:11:54And you don't have to

01:11:55call me Vincent

01:11:56so formally either.

01:11:57I hadn't expected

01:11:59something so simple.

01:12:00Ever since I changed

01:12:01my name,

01:12:02people around me

01:12:03had been calling me

01:12:04Phoenix.

01:12:05But somehow,

01:12:06hearing it from him

01:12:07felt different.

01:12:09Of course,

01:12:10Vincent.

01:12:12Thinking about the

01:12:13arranged match,

01:12:14I hesitated before

01:12:15finally gathering

01:12:16the courage to speak.

01:12:18Vincent,

01:12:21You already know

01:12:22I just came out

01:12:23of a failed relationship.

01:12:25I'm not ready

01:12:26for anything new

01:12:27right now.

01:12:29About the arrangement.

01:12:30I had assumed

01:12:31that me being an Omega

01:12:33might make him

01:12:33feel embarrassed

01:12:34or slighted,

01:12:35but his expression

01:12:36stayed calm.

01:12:37It's fine.

01:12:40I'll explain it

01:12:41to my mom.

01:12:43Honestly,

01:12:43on my way here

01:12:44I was already thinking

01:12:45about how to bring

01:12:46this up.

01:12:47Restrawn this up.

01:12:49Without affecting

01:12:50our family's relationship.

01:12:51He paused,

01:12:53then smiled.

01:12:54I didn't expect

01:12:55the Lyra family's

01:12:56daughter to be you.

01:12:58Even if we call

01:13:00off the arrangement,

01:13:01we can still be

01:13:02good friends, right?

01:13:03Relief washed over me.

01:13:05I smiled and nodded.

01:13:07Of course.

01:13:07Maybe it was because

01:13:09we had shared

01:13:10the same university,

01:13:11the same memories.

01:13:13Having just arrived

01:13:14in England,

01:13:15everything still

01:13:16felt unfamiliar.

01:13:17But with Vincent,

01:13:18I felt a sense

01:13:19of ease I hadn't

01:13:21expected.

01:13:22We started talking

01:13:23about the past,

01:13:24and I realized

01:13:25we had so many

01:13:26shared interests.

01:13:28Before long,

01:13:29we grew closer,

01:13:30even meeting up

01:13:31from time to time

01:13:32to hang out.

01:13:34One day,

01:13:35after feeding

01:13:36seagulls by the coast,

01:13:37Vincent walked me

01:13:38back home.

01:13:39We ended up

01:13:40standing by the

01:13:41front gate,

01:13:42laughing and talking

01:13:43about everything

01:13:44that had happened

01:13:44earlier.

01:13:45I don't know

01:13:46how long

01:13:46we stood there.

01:13:47Then,

01:13:48from behind me,

01:13:49I heard a familiar

01:13:50voice.

01:13:51Little wolf.

01:13:54After spotting

01:13:55a familiar figure

01:13:56in the news,

01:13:57Kane used every

01:13:58connection he had

01:13:59to track down

01:14:00her identity.

01:14:01Because the Lyra

01:14:02family had deep

01:14:03roots overseas

01:14:04while Kane remained

01:14:05in China,

01:14:06it took him

01:14:07half a month

01:14:08to finally uncover

01:14:09information about me.

01:14:10The moment he saw

01:14:12the photo from

01:14:13the banquet,

01:14:14he knew

01:14:15that was his

01:14:16little wolf.

01:14:18Even with a

01:14:18different name,

01:14:19he was certain

01:14:20there was no

01:14:21mistaking it.

01:14:23He immediately

01:14:24began digging

01:14:25for the Lyra

01:14:26family's address.

01:14:27Once he confirmed

01:14:28it, he rushed

01:14:29to catch the

01:14:30earliest flight

01:14:31to England.

01:14:32On the way,

01:14:33he must have

01:14:34imagined countless

01:14:35scenarios of

01:14:36seeing me again.

01:14:37He thought

01:14:38the most likely

01:14:39outcome was

01:14:40that I would

01:14:40still be angry

01:14:41and refuse

01:14:42to speak to him.

01:14:43But that

01:14:44didn't matter.

01:14:45As long as

01:14:46he could see me,

01:14:47that would be

01:14:47enough.

01:14:48After experiencing

01:14:50my death,

01:14:50he had come to

01:14:51realize more than

01:14:52ever that he

01:14:53could not live

01:14:54without me.

01:14:55He planned

01:14:56to apologize

01:14:57sincerely,

01:14:58to promise

01:14:59that he would

01:14:59never be tempted

01:15:00by another

01:15:01Omega again.

01:15:02He even

01:15:03imagined that

01:15:04once I forgave

01:15:05him,

01:15:06he would hold

01:15:06an even

01:15:07grander

01:15:08mate ceremony,

01:15:09one that

01:15:10would surpass

01:15:10anything before

01:15:11it,

01:15:12and declare

01:15:13his love

01:15:13to the world.

01:15:14What he

01:15:15didn't expect

01:15:16was that

01:15:17when he

01:15:17finally saw

01:15:18me again,

01:15:19a month

01:15:19later,

01:15:20I was already

01:15:21standing beside

01:15:22another Alpha.

01:15:24Vincent and

01:15:25I had been

01:15:25talking,

01:15:26completely

01:15:27absorbed,

01:15:28for nearly

01:15:29an hour.

01:15:30Kane stood

01:15:31behind a wall

01:15:32like an intruder

01:15:32peeking into

01:15:33someone else's

01:15:34happiness.

01:15:34But the

01:15:36moment he

01:15:36saw that

01:15:37familiar

01:15:37figure,

01:15:39longing

01:15:39crashed over

01:15:40him like a

01:15:41tidal wave.

01:15:42Just before

01:15:43he could no

01:15:44longer hold

01:15:44it in,

01:15:45he finally

01:15:46called out

01:15:46the name

01:15:47he had been

01:15:47repeating in

01:15:48his mind.

01:15:49After nearly

01:15:50a month,

01:15:51he was seeing

01:15:52me again,

01:15:53alive.

01:15:54His eyes

01:15:54reddened,

01:15:55his voice

01:15:56unsteady.

01:15:57Little wolf,

01:15:58I finally

01:15:59found you.

01:16:00You're not

01:16:01dead.

01:16:02You're really

01:16:03here.

01:16:06He instinctively

01:16:07ignored the

01:16:08Alpha,

01:16:08standing beside

01:16:09me.

01:16:11The moment I

01:16:12heard that

01:16:12familiar voice,

01:16:13I let out a

01:16:14quiet sigh.

01:16:15I had always

01:16:16known the fake

01:16:17death wouldn't

01:16:18fool Kane

01:16:18forever.

01:16:19I just hadn't

01:16:21expected him to

01:16:22track me down

01:16:23in England this

01:16:23quickly.

01:16:24I gave Vincent

01:16:26a subtle look,

01:16:27signaling him

01:16:28to leave

01:16:28first.

01:16:29Then I

01:16:30turned around,

01:16:31my expression

01:16:32cold as I

01:16:32looked straight

01:16:33at Kane.

01:16:34Why are you

01:16:35here?

01:16:36Area is

01:16:37dead.

01:16:37I'm Phoenix

01:16:38now.

01:16:40Kane finally

01:16:41recalled everything

01:16:42he had learned

01:16:42over the past

01:16:43two weeks.

01:16:44His little wolf

01:16:46was never an

01:16:46orphan.

01:16:47I was Phoenix,

01:16:49the lost

01:16:49daughter of the

01:16:50Lyra family,

01:16:51their most

01:16:52cherished child.

01:16:53Little wolf,

01:16:54no,

01:16:55Phoenix.

01:16:57I know I

01:16:57was wrong.

01:16:59I've already

01:16:59dealt with the

01:17:00beta.

01:17:01The child is

01:17:01gone too.

01:17:04Can you

01:17:05forgive me?

01:17:06With his

01:17:07intelligence,

01:17:08it didn't take

01:17:08much to figure

01:17:09out that the

01:17:10body at the

01:17:11mate ceremony

01:17:11had been

01:17:12staged.

01:17:13It was

01:17:13nothing more

01:17:14than my way

01:17:15of escaping

01:17:15after my

01:17:16heart had

01:17:16already died.

01:17:18Now that

01:17:19he had

01:17:19finally found

01:17:20me again,

01:17:20the person

01:17:21he had

01:17:21thought about

01:17:22day and

01:17:22night,

01:17:23he was

01:17:23determined to

01:17:24apologize and

01:17:25beg for

01:17:25forgiveness.

01:17:27I let out

01:17:28a quiet

01:17:28laugh.

01:17:29I had

01:17:30seen with

01:17:30my own

01:17:31eyes how

01:17:31he treated

01:17:32the beta.

01:17:33And now

01:17:34he could

01:17:34dismiss

01:17:35everything so

01:17:36easily,

01:17:37saying he

01:17:37had taken

01:17:38care of

01:17:38her and

01:17:39the pup

01:17:39as if

01:17:39it meant

01:17:40nothing.

01:17:41I used

01:17:41to think

01:17:42he had

01:17:42simply

01:17:43transferred

01:17:43his love

01:17:44from me

01:17:44to someone

01:17:45else.

01:17:46Now,

01:17:47I understood

01:17:48the truth.

01:17:49He was

01:17:49rotten to

01:17:50the core.

01:17:51He didn't

01:17:52truly love

01:17:52anyone.

01:17:53Only

01:17:54himself.

01:17:55Kane,

01:17:56I regret

01:17:57ever

01:17:57loving

01:17:57you.

01:17:58Those

01:17:59few

01:17:59simple

01:18:00words

01:18:00drained

01:18:00all the

01:18:01color

01:18:01from Kane's

01:18:02face.

01:18:03He couldn't

01:18:04understand it.

01:18:05For five

01:18:05years,

01:18:06we had

01:18:06been so

01:18:07in love.

01:18:08We had

01:18:08been happy.

01:18:09How could

01:18:10I regret

01:18:10it now?

01:18:11And that

01:18:12word

01:18:12regret,

01:18:13did it

01:18:14mean I

01:18:15didn't love

01:18:15him anymore?

01:18:18The thought

01:18:19alone made

01:18:20his chest

01:18:21tighten with

01:18:21pain.

01:18:22No,

01:18:23that couldn't

01:18:24be true.

01:18:25It had

01:18:25only been

01:18:26a month.

01:18:27How could

01:18:28I have

01:18:28stopped

01:18:28loving him

01:18:29so quickly?

01:18:30In his

01:18:31mind,

01:18:31I was

01:18:32still angry.

01:18:33I just

01:18:33hadn't

01:18:34forgiven

01:18:34him yet.

01:18:35Kane

01:18:36stepped

01:18:36forward

01:18:37reaching

01:18:37for my

01:18:38hand,

01:18:39wanting

01:18:39to explain

01:18:40before he

01:18:41could touch

01:18:42me.

01:18:42I took

01:18:43a step

01:18:43back putting

01:18:44distance

01:18:44between

01:18:44us.

01:18:46The

01:18:46hurt

01:18:46in his

01:18:47expression

01:18:47was

01:18:48obvious,

01:18:49but he

01:18:49quickly

01:18:49tried

01:18:50to

01:18:50explain

01:18:51himself.

01:18:52Phoenix,

01:18:52I don't

01:18:53mean

01:18:53anything

01:18:54else.

01:18:54I just

01:18:55want to

01:18:55explain.

01:18:56Believe

01:18:57me,

01:18:58I've

01:18:58only

01:18:59ever

01:18:59loved

01:18:59you.

01:19:02I

01:19:02never

01:19:02had

01:19:03real

01:19:03feelings

01:19:03for

01:19:03that

01:19:04beta.

01:19:06Can

01:19:07you

01:19:07forgive

01:19:07me

01:19:07and

01:19:08come

01:19:08back

01:19:08with

01:19:08me?

01:19:09I

01:19:10promise

01:19:10there

01:19:11will

01:19:11never

01:19:11be

01:19:11another

01:19:11Omega

01:19:12around

01:19:12me

01:19:12again.

01:19:13I

01:19:13swear

01:19:14I'll

01:19:14only

01:19:14love

01:19:14you.

01:19:15We

01:19:16can

01:19:16an

01:19:16even

01:19:17grander

01:19:17mate

01:19:17ceremony.

01:19:19By

01:19:20the

01:19:20end,

01:19:21there

01:19:21was

01:19:21a

01:19:21flicker

01:19:22of

01:19:22hope

01:19:22in

01:19:23his

01:19:23eyes.

01:19:23I

01:19:24didn't

01:19:24react.

01:19:25My

01:19:26expression

01:19:26remained

01:19:27cold.

01:19:28Five

01:19:28years

01:19:28ago,

01:19:29when

01:19:29you

01:19:29got

01:19:29together

01:19:29with

01:19:30me,

01:19:30you

01:19:30made

01:19:30the

01:19:30same

01:19:31promise.

01:19:32You

01:19:32said

01:19:32you

01:19:33would

01:19:33only

01:19:33love

01:19:33me.

01:19:36And

01:19:36you

01:19:36still

01:19:37cheated.

01:19:38I

01:19:38won't

01:19:38believe

01:19:38you

01:19:39again.

01:19:40And

01:19:40I

01:19:40will

01:19:41never

01:19:41forgive

01:19:41you.

01:19:44You

01:19:44should

01:19:44leave.

01:19:45Don't

01:19:46come

01:19:46back.

01:19:47When

01:19:47I

01:19:48first

01:19:48discovered

01:19:49his

01:19:49betrayal,

01:19:50the pain

01:19:50had been

01:19:51unbearable.

01:19:52There

01:19:52was even

01:19:53a moment

01:19:53when I

01:19:54hesitated.

01:19:55Because

01:19:56he still

01:19:56treated me

01:19:57the same

01:19:57as before,

01:19:58I thought

01:19:59maybe I

01:20:00could

01:20:00pretend

01:20:00nothing

01:20:01had

01:20:01happened.

01:20:02Maybe

01:20:03we

01:20:03could

01:20:03complete

01:20:04the

01:20:04mate

01:20:04bond

01:20:05and

01:20:05he

01:20:05would

01:20:06continue

01:20:06to

01:20:07treat

01:20:07me

01:20:07well.

01:20:08Maybe

01:20:09he

01:20:09would

01:20:09keep

01:20:10the

01:20:10other

01:20:10omega

01:20:11out

01:20:11of

01:20:11my

01:20:12sight.

01:20:12But

01:20:12after

01:20:13lie,

01:20:14after

01:20:14lie,

01:20:15after

01:20:17with

01:20:18my

01:20:18own

01:20:18eyes,

01:20:19I

01:20:19realized

01:20:20I

01:20:20couldn't

01:20:21do

01:20:21it.

01:20:21I

01:20:22couldn't

01:20:22live

01:20:42I

01:20:44But

01:20:45Kane

01:20:45wasn't
