I Lost 5 Pups… Because My Mate Killed Them - New - Updating Eng
Transcript
00:00The full moon hung over the Alpha Prince's fortress cold, silent, merciless.
00:05Its silver glow draped the stone spires casting long, haunting shadows that matched the emptiness in my chest.
00:12That night, I lost my fifth pup again.
00:16The pack healers all said the same thing.
00:18My body was too weak to carry an Alpha's blood, too fragile to withstand the primal ferocity of an Alpha's
00:24cub, so I believed them.
00:26For three years.
00:28Five pregnancies.
00:30Five deaths.
00:32The Volf matriarch stood outside my chamber, her silhouette sharp against the moonlight, her presence as unyielding as the pack's
00:39laws.
00:40Elena, you are his mate.
00:41You cannot let the Alpha's bloodline end.
00:44Aldric is the Alpha King's kin, bearer of primordial wolf blood.
00:49His lineage must go on.
00:50So I suggested something no mate ever should, something that felt like tearing my own heart out.
00:55Let him take a consort.
00:57A strong She-Volf who can give him the air you need.
01:00Aldric froze.
01:01His hand, which had been resting on the hilt of his silver rune longsword, went rigid.
01:06The air in the chamber thickened, his Alpha aura swirling with barely contained rage, then exploded.
01:13His golden eyes turned feral bright, unhinged, the Volf within him roaring to break free.
01:18The wooden table splintered, the window shattered and the walls shook under his wrath.
01:22But in the end, he still agreed.
01:25The Volf matriarch's demand.
01:27The weight of his Alpha duty won out.
01:29His voice hoarse, as if every word pained him.
01:32If she bears an air, mother.
01:34He said.
01:35Never speak of this again for the rest of your days.
01:37If she bears an air, mother.
01:40Never speak of this again for the rest of your days.
01:42And I thought, I was the problem.
01:45My weak body.
01:46My inability to carry his pup.
01:48Was the reason our clan's lineage was at risk.
01:51My failure.
01:53The next day I went to the moonlight cloister alone.
01:57Its stone cloister rose high and gloomy.
02:00Pale moonlight seeping through the dome.
02:02Dying everything eerily silent.
02:04What should have been a place of prayer hung in the air with a strange scent pine resin mixed with
02:09faint trembling gasps.
02:10The sound was barely audible.
02:13Yet carried a bone melting magnetism.
02:16It was Aldrich's voice.
02:17The one I knew best.
02:18The voice he took after dark.
02:21My feet froze in place.
02:23My heart hammering so hard it threatened to shatter my ribs.
02:27I ducked instinctively into the shadow of a carved stone pillar.
02:31At the end of the corridor, moonlight painted two figures in shameless intimacy.
02:35Aldrich had his back to me.
02:37His shoulders tensed like a drawn bow.
02:39His eyes glinting pale gold a sign that the werewolf within him had been roused to desire.
02:44Before him stood sister Leah.
02:46Her neck tilted slightly upward.
02:48Her wimple slipped off.
02:50Long hair falling over her shoulders.
02:52She reached out.
02:53Her fingertips gliding slowly and lightly across his tight collarbone.
02:57Pressing against his heaving chest.
02:59Her voice soft as honey drenched silk.
03:05To keep her bound to you, you have killed your own pup with your own hands five times.
03:11When you hold her at night, do you never think of the flesh and blood that died in her womb?
03:16Each word was a burning needle, piercing all my naivety.
03:20The air thickened with a forbidden mix of lust, blood, and wolfish scent.
03:27Every drop of blood in my veins turned to ice in that moment.
03:30Every drop of blood in my veins turned to ice in that moment.
03:34Aldrich suddenly clamped his hand around Leah's jaw, his grip nearly violent.
03:38Silence.
03:39His voice was no longer the gentle tone I knew, but hoarse, panting, dangerously rough.
03:44Breathe a word of this to her, and I will flay your skin and feed you to the wolves.
03:50Far from fearing him, Leah leaned into him, lifting her hands to slowly loop around his neck.
03:55In the next breath, she slipped her nun's robe off one shoulder, the pale fabric sliding down.
04:01She rose on tiptoe, her lips nearly brushing his urlob, her breath warm and sweet.
04:06Can you truly say you are not happier when you are with me?
04:10Aldrich's Adam's apple bobbed violently, his golden eyes blazing with bestial heat.
04:15He lowered his head, not a kiss, but a near-feral bite to her shoulder and neck,
04:19a muffled growl rumbling in his chest.
04:21Their gasps echoed loudly in the empty cloister, tangled and lingering,
04:26carrying a forbidden's thrill sharp enough to tear.
04:29I stood frozen, cold to the bone, trembling in every limb.
04:34The truth struck me.
04:36I did not lose my children because I was weak.
04:39The man I loved had fed me silverweed potion with his own hands, again and again,
04:44strangling the life from our unborn babies.
04:47My tears stung cold by the wind.
04:51A cold wind swept through me.
04:55I fled in panic.
04:59When I returned to the castle, Aldrich held me gently in his arms,
05:03but all I could smell on him was the lingering lust and blood.
05:07Hidden in his eyes was a flicker of unease, and he spoke softly.
05:14I looked at him and suddenly smiled.
05:16A smile of a heart turned to ash.
05:19Very well, I shall arrange the ceremony for you.
05:24I got up very early the next morning.
05:27I turned and fetched the warhawk my father had left me.
05:32I dipped a quill into ink and wrote one line on parchment.
05:35Father, I seek a divorce.
05:37Come take me home.
05:42Take me away from this nightmare.
05:44The warhawk spread its wings and soared through the clouds,
05:47toward the southern border.
05:49That night, old pain gnawed at my lower abdomen.
05:52Aldrich carried me back to bed,
05:54tucking the blanket carefully around me.
05:56His fingertips were cool as he brushed my cheek.
05:59Why so quiet again?
06:01I pressed my hand instinctively to my belly,
06:03a chill shooting up my spine.
06:05He sighed softly, his words light,
06:07like a meaningless comfort.
06:09Let it go, that child was never meant to be ours.
06:13A single careless sentence,
06:14asking me to erase five lives connected to my blood,
06:18lives he had personally destroyed.
06:20I lifted my gaze to him,
06:22my voice light as wind.
06:23Will we ever have another child?
06:25He paused, his golden eyes firm.
06:27Even if we never have heirs,
06:29I will only ever dote on you.
06:31In that moment, I understood completely.
06:33It was not that he could not have children,
06:35he just could not let me have them.
06:37I spoke calmly.
06:39Today I went to the Moonlight Tomistry.
06:41Aldrich's face stiffened,
06:43panic flashing across his features.
06:45Even now, he still lied to me.
06:47I dug my nails into my palm,
06:49forcing calm.
06:50I was there too, did we not cross paths?
06:52The place was crowded.
06:54We must have missed each other.
06:57As for the mistress,
06:58since it is decided,
06:59we shall prepare well.
07:02He relaxed,
07:07not noticing that my heart had already died.
07:10That night, I spiked a high fever,
07:12burning hot all over.
07:14Aldrich panicked,
07:15and was about to send for the physician
07:17when a servant hurried in.
07:19Someone from the monastery had come bearing his token.
07:22His face darkened.
07:23He stared sharply at the hooded figure bowing at the door.
07:27I shall return shortly.
07:29Wait for me,
07:30and I'll bring you the sweetest honey cakes.
07:32I lay on the bed,
07:33my mind foggy,
07:34but my gaze clear as a mirror.
07:36Beneath that monk's habit,
07:38the skin was snow white and delicate.
07:40It was clearly Leah in disguise.
07:42I reached out and gently tugged his robe,
07:45my voice weak but steady.
07:47My alpha,
07:48let her come forward.
07:49The panic in Aldrich's eyes could no longer be hidden.
07:52He let out a cold laugh.
07:54You are disheveled now.
07:56To be seen like this would shame the prince's castle.
07:59Elena,
08:00you were raised on the border.
08:02You do not understand court etiquette.
08:04Do not be willed for you.
08:05His tone distant and cruel,
08:07the knife had been straight into my deepest wound.
08:10Once,
08:10I had felt inferior for not knowing court manners,
08:12but he had shielded me recklessly,
08:15defying nobles for me.
08:16Throwing punches for me.
08:18Now,
08:18all that past affection and protection
08:20had turned into blades aimed at my heart.
08:23I lowered my eyes,
08:24obediently letting go.
08:25My voice so light it held no emotion.
08:28I was being thoughtless.
08:29Lena,
08:30fetch the lord his cloak.
08:31Yes,
08:31Melody.
08:32Aldrich sighed in relief and hurried off with Leah.
08:35I forced my burning body to stand
08:37and walked step by step to his study.
08:39It was a room I had decorated myself.
08:41He had once said everything in it was chosen by me,
08:44that no one else was allowed to touch it.
08:47Not even the cleaning he would do it himself.
08:49But now,
08:50the study was in ruins.
08:51Silver ornaments and scrolls lay scattered across the dark wooden desk.
08:55The quill I had picked for him tossed carelessly in the corner,
08:59covered in dust.
09:00The air reeked of lust and bald blood.
09:03The door was not fully closed.
09:05A crack revealed every shameful act inside.
09:08Shadows flickered dimly,
09:10the air thick with overwhelming desire.
09:12Leah's voice was soft and coiling.
09:14My alpha,
09:16you are so strong.
09:18Every gasp,
09:19deliberate provocation.
09:20And Aldrich,
09:21I had never seen him like this.
09:23The werewolf prince,
09:25gentle,
09:25restrained,
09:26and cautious with me.
09:27Had cast off all pretense.
09:29His eyes burning with wild lust.
09:31His movements rough,
09:32predatory,
09:33and intoxicated.
09:34No restraint.
09:36No tenderness.
09:37No care.
09:38A burning,
09:39mad passion I had never known.
09:41Leah tilted her face upward.
09:43Suddenly,
09:43she lifted her gaze and met mine through the gap.
09:46She started,
09:47then curled her lips into a victorious,
09:49taunting smile.
09:50Raising her voice deliberately.
09:52Aldrich,
09:53gently.
09:55Our child,
09:56cannot bear rough handling.
09:58Child.
09:59So they have been lovers all along,
10:01already carrying a safe,
10:03crown-approved heir.
10:04And my children,
10:05only because I carried a secret others,
10:07spoke of had to die in my womb.
10:09I could bear no more.
10:10I turned and ran,
10:12tears streaming down my face.
10:14That night,
10:15Aldrich did not return.
10:16I sat by candlelight all night,
10:18writing the divorce papers.
10:20I folded the parchment,
10:22and placed it inside an oak box.
10:24Gilded with iron edges.
10:25The wedding gift.
10:27He had given me with his own hands.
10:29If I ever anger you,
10:30write it down and put it here.
10:32I will check every day,
10:33and never fail you.
10:35I opened the box inside,
10:36still lay the little wishes I had written as a young girl.
10:39It turned out he had not opened this box in a very,
10:42very long time.
10:43The vows of old had been crushed to dust by royal power and desire.
10:47The next morning I ate breakfast calmly.
10:50Near midday,
10:51a maid rushed and pale with fear.
10:53My lady,
10:54your distant relatives have come to the manor.
10:56My heart tightened.
10:57The war hawk had been gone only one day.
10:59My father was far in the south.
11:00He could not have arrived so soon.
11:02I entered the great hall,
11:04and a crude vulgar air washed over me.
11:07A stout woman stood there,
11:09leading a pretty-faced girl,
11:10with a frivolous gaze.
11:12Distant relativus,
11:13barely related to me by blood.
11:15The woman beamed greedily.
11:17Elena!
11:18I heard the prince is taking an official mistress,
11:21so I brought my daughter specially.
11:23She's strong and fertile.
11:25When she bears a child,
11:27it can be registered under your name,
11:29your legitimate heir.
11:31My face darkened.
11:32The prince has chosen his mistress.
11:35I have no say in this.
11:37Leave.
11:39Oh, what does it matter?
11:40Let her serve the lord as a maid first.
11:43Given time,
11:44it will happen.
11:46You've miscarried five times.
11:48You'll probably never conceive again.
11:50Without a child,
11:51when the prince grows tired of you,
11:53how will you survive?
11:55The girl lifted her chin,
11:56her tone sharp as a blade.
11:58Sister cannot hold the lord's heart.
12:00Men,
12:01all prefer young,
12:03fresh things.
12:05Hatred surged within me.
12:06I raised my hand
12:07and slept head hair-haired
12:09across the face.
12:11How dare you hit me!
12:13The girl shrieked.
12:15She hits you!
12:16And so what?
12:17A deep male voice boomed suddenly,
12:19sweeping through the hall.
12:27Guards!
12:28Rip out her tongue!
12:30The other,
12:3130 flaps and cast out.
12:33Guards rushed forward.
12:34The mother and daughter turned ash on,
12:36screaming as they were dragged away.
12:39Aldrich immediately softened his rage,
12:41stepping quickly to take my hand,
12:43his tone tender with concern.
12:46Elena, are you alright?
12:47Were you frightened?
12:48He looked just like the man
12:50who had protected me for three years.
12:52But in the next breath,
12:53he led Leah forward from outside,
12:55his voice holding a hint
12:56of anticipation and joy.
13:00Elena,
13:01meet the woman I have chosen
13:02as royal mistress.
13:04Leah.
13:06The last flicker of warmth
13:08in my heart died completely.
13:10I smiled faintly,
13:11calm and unruffled.
13:13Very well.
13:14I shall prepare the mistress
13:16in prestation ceremony.
13:19Leah curtsied first,
13:20her head bowed,
13:21but her eyes glinted with triumph.
13:24Thank you, sister.
13:25From now on,
13:26I shall serve the Alpha and you well.
13:28I spoke lightly.
13:30The ceremony will be busy.
13:31I have invited the Temple Sisters
13:33to oversee it.
13:34I am unwell,
13:36so I shall not join the hostilities.
13:38On that day,
13:38I would leave this cage forever
13:40with my father.
13:41Aldrich did not suspect a thing.
13:43Then you have a good rest.
13:44He turned away,
13:46Leah pulling his sleeve affectionately,
13:47and they left together.
13:49I closed my eyes,
13:50unwilling to look at them any longer.
13:52The ceremony was set for half a month later,
13:54on the night of the full moon.
13:56In the days that followed,
13:58he never came to me.
13:59The full moon rose,
14:00silver light covering the earth.
14:02Outside the castle,
14:03horns blared,
14:05torches snaked like dragons,
14:06and faint howls echoed.
14:08The grand ceremony of the prince
14:10and Stalin his mistress.
14:12I stood at the courtyard gate,
14:14listening to the noise of the city,
14:16and smiled softly.
14:17My father's black warhorses waited outside.
14:20The carriage steady,
14:22holding no joy.
14:23I lifted my skirts and climbed aboard.
14:26Not looking back,
14:27the carriage slowly left the castle,
14:29but halted abruptly at the city gate.
14:33My lady,
14:34we have run into the prince's procession.
14:36I lifted the curtain.
14:39Aldrich stood in deep purple ceremonial robes,
14:42mounted on a white horse.
14:43At the sight of my father,
14:45he hastily dismounted and bowed respectfully.
14:47My father glanced at him coldly.
14:50The knightly guard exuded a clean aura.
14:52No one dared block the procession,
14:54and they stepped aside.
14:55In the instant the carriage passed him by,
14:57Aldrich's head snapped up.
14:58Our eyes met.
14:59He saw me dressed in plain white.
15:01My gaze calm.
15:03Resolute.
15:04Without sorrow or joy in that moment.
15:06The invincible werewolf prince turned pale as death.
15:10Terrifying panic crashed over him like a tidal wave.
15:12He finally understood.
15:14I was not throwing a tantrum,
15:16not being petty.
15:17I was leaving him forever,
15:19never to return.
15:20Aldrich tore off his ceremonial robes like a madman,
15:23leaped back onto his horse,
15:25and raced wildly towards the city gate.
15:31Duke, which way did the Duke go?
15:34They've already left the city.
15:36With fine horses,
15:37they must be tens of miles away by now.
15:42I arrived in a small southern town with my father.
15:45Far from royal power.
15:47There were no werewolves.
15:48No fear of the full moon.
15:50No shadow of silverweed potion.
15:53Multiple miscarriages and heartbreak had left me gravely ill.
15:56My face as pale as paper.
15:58My father took me to train and practice swordsmanship each morning at dawn.
16:03Winged and son gradually restored my health in barely half a month.
16:07A clear young voice called out.
16:08Sister Elena!
16:09A figure leaped down from an apricot blossom branch.
16:12It was Kale, the merchant's son,
16:14an apprentice mercenary,
16:16and my father's new disciple.
16:18He smiled brightly,
16:19like warm sunlight holding up a paper package.
16:22I brought you warm pastries.
16:23The pastries were still hot in my hand,
16:25but I saw a bright red burn mark on his chest.
16:29My chest tightened.
16:30You carried them against your chest?
16:32Doesn't it hurt?
16:34Not at all.
16:35Kale suddenly grew serious.
16:38Sister,
16:39when you're better,
16:41will you leave here?
16:42I asked softly.
16:43Why do you ask?
16:45My father said a man should build his career before marriage.
16:49When I become a true knight,
16:51I will ask master for your hand.
16:53Kale,
16:54I only think of you as a brother.
16:56I know.
16:58But a brother can become a man soon enough.
17:01I've liked you since the first time I saw you.
17:03You looked so sad back then,
17:04I didn't dare say anything.
17:07Now you smile so beautifully.
17:09I can't wait any longer.
17:11I was about to reply,
17:12when a maid rushed over.
17:13My lady,
17:15it's terrible.
17:16Many men have surrounded the manor.
17:18Master Obsessed says to no escape the screw through the side gate at once.
17:22Kale immediately wrapped a cloak tightly around me and whispered.
17:25Before I could react,
17:26he lifted me in his arms.
17:28Forgive my boldness.
17:31Lena,
17:31tell master I take his sister to safety.
17:33You need not worry.
17:34Leaped onto an apricot tree and vaulted over the wall.
17:41But we could not escape him.
17:43A dark shadow flashed past.
17:45My neck went numb,
17:46and I lost consciousness.
17:48When I woke,
17:49I was in a sealed stone chamber.
17:52In dim lamplight,
17:53Aldrich stared at me without blinking.
17:55In only a few days,
17:56he had become haggard beyond recognition.
17:59Stubbled,
18:00robes wrinkled,
18:01golden eyes bloodshot,
18:02filled with near-mad obsession.
18:04When I opened my eyes,
18:06he grabbed my hand violently
18:07and pressed it to his lips,
18:09his voice rough as sandpaper.
18:10Elena,
18:11I finally found you.
18:14Do you know when I saw you smiling with that boy,
18:18I wanted to kill him?
18:20I pulled my hand away coldly,
18:22my voice icy and calm.
18:23Your Highness,
18:25we are divorced.
18:27Aldrich turned pale,
18:28shaking his head frantically.
18:30I never agreed.
18:31I burned the divorce papers.
18:34Elena,
18:35I know I was wrong.
18:37Come back with me, please.
18:39Back to be fed silverweed potion again?
18:41I looked at him,
18:42every word cutting to the bone.
18:43You already have an official mistress,
18:46a legitimate child on the way.
18:48Why torn me still?
18:50Leah.
18:53Leah,
18:54if you hate her,
18:56I will kill her right now!
18:57I do not hate Leah!
19:00I do not!
19:02I hate our five children,
19:04children you murdered with your own hands.
19:07You know everything.
19:09My voice shook,
19:11but clear.
19:11I know everything.
19:12Aldrich trembled violently,
19:14as if struck by lightning.
19:15I know you added silverweed to my medicine every time.
19:18I know you watched me suffer and did nothing.
19:22He collapsed to his knees,
19:24his vol form nearly breaking free,
19:26tears pouring out in despair.
19:29I had no choice.
19:31You are not the Duke's biological daughter.
19:34You are the last princess of the fallen former dynasty.
19:39My brother may let you live,
19:40but he will never allow you to bear a child
19:43with former dynasty blood.
19:45If I did not kill the children,
19:48you would have died.
19:49I froze,
19:50as if thunderstruck.
19:51So I was not my father's real daughter.
19:54So I lost five children,
19:56not because I was weak,
19:58not because he did not love me,
20:01but because of a birthright
20:02I did not even know I had.
20:04I looked at him,
20:06terrifyingly calm,
20:07so you knew I was the former dynasty princess.
20:10You knew we could never have children.
20:13You knew marrying me
20:14would only condemn me to miscarriage.
20:17After miscarriage,
20:19and you married me anyway.
20:21No,
20:22I'm doing this for us,
20:24for our love.
20:26Aldrich,
20:27you did not protect me,
20:28you possessed me.
20:30All the pain in my life,
20:31you gave it to me.
20:32Kale burst through the door,
20:34slamming him to the ground,
20:35a dagger at his throat.
20:37The king has already decreed your divorce.
20:39You dare to touch me, boy?
20:41I'm a prince!
20:42To abduct Lady Elena,
20:43it's treason.
20:44Aldrich's eyes widened,
20:45his face ashen.
20:47Just then,
20:48Leah rushed in,
20:49wearing rough cloth,
20:50her belly swollen.
20:51before she could speak.
20:54Aldrich,
20:54no!
20:55Aldrich shoved her violently to the ground.
20:59A piercing scream,
21:01blood gushed between her legs.
21:06Winding across the stone floor in a blinding red river,
21:09Leah struggled in agony,
21:11reaching for help,
21:12but Aldrich only stared at me with bloodshot, crazed eyes,
21:15and stamped his foot down hard on her back.
21:18If she dies,
21:19if this child dies,
21:22nothing will stand stand between us anymore.
21:25I stared at him coldly.
21:28Now you only dare Kali a pregnant woman.
21:31I broke free from Kale,
21:33drew his sword,
21:33and pointed the tip at Aldrich.
21:35Today we end this.
21:37His wolfish rage erupted.
21:38He roared and lunged Dot like he's turn.
21:41I thrust the sword forward,
21:43the blade sinking into his right hand.
21:45His vault claw fell limp.
21:47The sword clattered to the ground.
21:49Aldrich knelt,
21:50clutching his bleeding hand,
21:51looking up at him with eyes empty and dead.
21:56Later,
21:57word spread throughout the kingdom
21:59that the prince had murdered his mistress
22:01and their unborn child.
22:02The king imprisoned him for life.
22:04On a full moon night,
22:06he dismissed all his guards
22:07and set fire to the castle.
22:09Among the ashes,
22:10people found a charred corpse.
22:12In its arms,
22:14it held tightly an oak box
22:15gilded with iron edges,
22:17burned black.
22:19As for me,
22:20in the south,
22:22life was gentle and calm.
22:25I had finally been reborn.
22:27What is lost is gone.
22:29What comes next is yet to be.
