00:00David, sign it.
00:02From now on, I'll vanish from your sight forever.
00:06You want a divorce? Have you lost your mind?
00:09You think you're worthy of divorcing me? Without me, you're nothing!
00:14David gives you a life of luxury, and you don't know what's good for you.
00:18Wanting a divorce? That's utterly stupid.
00:21A good life?
00:22Taking care of the baby alone day and night?
00:25Holding her for IV drips?
00:27While I'm sick and burning with fever?
00:31Is this what you call a good life?
00:32I had a fever of 103 degrees.
00:34Holding the baby while getting IV fluids. Calling you for help?
00:38Weedri, were you doing? What the hell were you doing?
00:44David, please, come see the baby.
00:46It's because of what she did that this happened.
00:48I've sprained my back so badly, it hurts so much.
00:51Don't pay that person any mind. I'll massage it for you and it'll stop hurting.
00:55You know you were wrong? If you do, get home and apologize now.
00:57I'm getting IV fluids for my fever. I really can't handle it anymore.
01:02Can you please come see the baby?
01:03If you can't take care of the baby, that's because you're useless. Stop bothering me.
01:07It hurts. Be gentler.
01:09David, what are you doing? Who the hell are you with?
01:13If you're sick, go see a doctor. Stop bothering David. Call again and I'll block you.
01:18I sent my mom to take care of you. What else are you unhappy about?
01:21Your mom, when I gave birth, she said it was a girl and left immediately.
01:24Ten days without cooking a single meal or helping with the baby, once.
01:27Is this what you call taking care of me?
01:33I've been taking care of your life the whole time.
01:35Taking care of the baby is exhausting and she's still so picky and difficult to please.
01:44Is the baby in your arms right now?
01:47Is your mother actually taking care of me and the child?
01:49Why are you there? You set me up on purpose!
01:55This is what you call care?
01:57Since the day our baby was born, have you changed a single diaper?
02:01Have you prepared a single bottle?
02:03Have you done one damn thing a father should do?
02:05Raising a child is your duty as a wife.
02:08You occupy the position of Mrs. Chen, yet you can't even handle such trivial matters.
02:12And you still have the nerve to complain.
02:18Divorce!
02:19Perfect timing.
02:19I'll give you this piece of trash David Chin for free, you human dumpster.
02:24Don't you love picking up second-hand goods?
02:26I'll grant you your wish.
02:33Have you lost your mind?
02:35Taking care of the child is your responsibility, and you dare to hit someone?
02:46Married women are such a hassle.
02:48Brothers are so much easier to deal with.
03:01These past three years, Serena Blake has been living in hell.
03:05Tormented by David Chen's family, suffering endless grievances.
03:11Ethan Blake, go bring Serena Blake home immediately.
03:14Anyone who dares bully a daughter of the Blake family, I'll ruin them completely and make them pay a devastating
03:18price.
03:18Mom, don't worry.
03:19I will definitely get justice for Serena Blake and make David Chen and those people pay back a hundredfold.
03:29Mom, Ethan, I missed you so much.
03:32Serena, Mom's here.
03:34No one will ever dare to hurt you again.
03:35Don't be afraid.
03:37It's okay.
03:38It's okay.
03:41Mom, I've been so wrong.
03:44You were childhood were always the princess in my palm.
03:47Mom, how did you end up tortured like this?
03:52Some passerby found you fainted and sent you to the hospital.
03:56David never showed up from start to finish.
03:58He doesn't care whether you live or die.
04:01Where's my baby?
04:03Where is my child?
04:04The baby has a fever.
04:05We've around the best doctors, and the nursing and infant care specialists are watching her 24-1.
04:10You just focus on recovering.
04:11Don't worry about anything.
04:13It's all my fault.
04:14I was too foolish, making the child suffer with me.
04:17It's not your fault.
04:18It's all David's fault.
04:19That ungrateful, heartless bastard.
04:22You're the heiress of Blake Group, my most beloved daughter.
04:25No matter when, your brother and I will always stand behind you.
04:31Dr. Zhang, did something happen to the baby?
04:33Please tell me the truth.
04:35I'm ready for the worst.
04:38Serena, the DNA report shows that you and this child have no biological relationship whatsoever.
04:45Impossible.
04:47Absolutely impossible.
04:48I carried her for ten months, risked my life giving birth to her, and she never left my side.
04:56You think I became Luna because of Marcus?
04:59Did you ever consider you've got it backwards?
05:02That mouth.
05:03That face.
05:04I hate them both.
05:05You're the one with the real gift.
05:07So what?
05:07I have your memories.
05:08I can play the chosen one easily, too.
05:10All those years hiding your power was such a waste.
05:13Don't worry.
05:13I'll make good use of it.
05:15Natalia!
05:16Touch her again and you won't be my mistress.
05:18Your Highnessness, this is my father's estate, not yet your territory.
05:21Aurora provoked me.
05:22I was defending myself.
05:23Do you have a problem with that?
05:24Do you think father will still favor you if he finds you bullying Aurora?
05:27Bullying?
05:28She struck first.
05:29Let's get father and see who he'll side with.
05:31Marcus knew damn well father would back me.
05:33He pulled Aurora out of the room instead.
05:35Then I heard Aurora's pitiful voice.
05:37Marcus, I'm scared of her.
05:39Don't worry.
05:40Once we're mates, she won't dare harm you.
05:44Natalia!
05:44Aurora is gone!
05:46I set down my brush calmly.
05:49Gone or hiding?
06:00This isn't funny!
06:01The mating ceremony is in two days!
06:05She'll turn up.
06:06Probably wants Marcus to rescue her so she seems more valuable.
06:09How can you be so cold about your own sister?
06:11Half-sister.
06:11And she's the one playing games.
06:13But I helped search anyway.
06:15No point in making father suffer.
06:17We found Aurora in an abandoned warehouse on the edge of PATH territory.
06:23Who did this to you?
06:26I don't know!
06:27They grabbed me from behind!
06:29No witnesses or evidence.
06:31No suspects.
06:32Just Aurora looking traumatized.
06:33Father apologized profusely for the security failure.
06:36I watched the whole performance with detached interest.
06:38On the mating ceremony day, the entire pack turned out to celebrate.
06:41Marcus and Aurora stood on the palace balcony, looking perfect together.
06:45Miss Vale, you don't look heartbroken.
06:48Most women would be devastated.
06:49Your childhood friend, choosing your bastard sister over you.
06:53Most women didn't spend five years building a man's empire only to have him carve the flesh off their face
06:56and feed them to the packs.
06:58The moon goddess prophesied that the next luna was born with the gift of prophecy and the moon mark.
07:03So I covered that moon mark on my forehead under makeup and concealment spells.
07:06But my half-sister Aurora painted a fake moon mark on her forehead every day.
07:10That's why Aurora became the mate of the alpha heir, Silas.
07:12Meanwhile, I chose to mate with my childhood sweetheart, the prince, Marcus.
07:16For five years, I used my gift of foresight to help Marcus rise to power.
07:23The night he claimed the throne, I washed away the concealer and revealed the truth.
07:27Natalia, how dare you fake the moon mark?
07:30He lost his mind.
07:31She should have been my luna.
07:33Every time I fucked you, for the past five years, I felt disgust.
07:37Now die for stealing her fate!
07:39When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the mating ceremony day.
07:46Marcus burst into the court and interrupted the ritual.
07:50A moon mark proves nothing.
07:51How can the mark make Aurora the chosen one?
07:52I'm invoking my father's blank decree.
07:54I claim Aurora Val as my mate!
07:57Nobles exchanged stunned looks and whispered.
08:00One elder wanted to speak, but I caught his eye and shook my head.
08:03That decree was compensation for the alpha's life.
08:05I never imagined he'd waste it on this.
08:07In the last life, Marcus needed that decree to secure the alpha throne.
08:11Now he used this trump card only for Aurora.
08:13Natalia, what's your take on this arrangement?
08:16The alpha king asked me.
08:17I dropped into a perfect curtsy.
08:20If Prince Marcus favors my half-sister, it's an honor for House Vale.
08:23Marcus looked at me with conflicted, guilty, but determined.
08:27I'm not asking to strip my brother as heir.
08:30Aurora and I are in love.
08:32She's an illegitimate Omega.
08:33She can't handle the pressure of being the future king's fated mate.
08:37Please, father, grant us.
08:39The whole kingdom knows you and Natalia have been inseparable since childhood.
08:42This sudden change of heart.
08:44I've always seen her as my sister.
08:46People just assumed otherwise.
08:47I almost laughed out loud.
08:49What a fucking sister.
08:50Alpha heir Silas carried the moon goddess's blessing.
08:53He is the true future alpha.
08:55Without my help, Marcus can never defeat Silas.
08:58If he wanted to gamble everything on my half-sister, I would let him hang himself.
09:01Marcus' servant blocked my path.
09:03Miss Vale, Prince Marcus summons you.
09:05I was led to a tower room.
09:07It was so cold and dark.
09:08When I was shivering and about to lose my temperature, Marcus showed up.
09:11When Aurora begged for your help once, you treated her like this.
09:15How's it feel?
09:16In the past life, I'd stopped Aurora from interrupting him.
09:19During crucial battle planning, she waited in the snow and ice for the whole day.
09:23I know you're reborn too, Natalia.
09:25Even you are cruel and jealous.
09:27But we were mates in the last life.
09:29I won't be cruel.
09:30If you can't let me go, I'll make you my mistress.
09:33The best thing for both of us is to go our separate ways.
09:35I looked at his face.
09:36If anyone's owed revenge here, it's me.
09:38Not the other way around.
09:39Marcus' expression darkened.
09:41I moved toward the door, and he grabbed my wrist.
09:43I overreacted when I killed you.
09:45But if you hadn't painted that moon mark pretending to be Aurora, how would I have lost control?
09:48If you behave this time, as long as you don't covet the queen's position, you could be my favored mistress.
09:54We're done.
09:54You will only be a stranger to me.
09:56The moment I got home, a royal decree arrived.
09:58My father pushed me forward with pride.
10:00Accept the decree.
10:01Prime Alpha Vale, you're mistaken.
10:03This decree is for your second daughter, Aurora.
10:06This message spreads throughout the whole pack soon.
10:08I became the center of the scandal.
10:10Everyone knew I stayed by Marcus' side for years.
10:12But now Aurora became his mate.
10:16Guess Natalia was doing all the chasing.
10:18Prime Alpha raised such a classy daughter.
10:20But look how she turned out, throwing herself at him like a simp.
10:24No wonder the prince didn't want her.
10:26The next morning, Marcus sent ten carriages of extravagant gifts to our estate.
10:31It confirms his love for Nyx even more.
10:34Father found me in my study, reading like nothing had happened.
10:38Natalia, I don't know what went down between you and the prince, but public opinion has turned vicious.
10:42I set down my book.
10:43I am okay.
10:44Dad, don't worry.
10:45Father sighed heavily.
10:47I should never have brought Aurora back from the border.
10:50Before he could finish, Aurora burst through the door.
10:52You always favored Natalia.
10:54When we were little, you sent me to live with distant wolf relatives.
10:56Now Prince Marcus loves me, and you want to ruin it and hand the chance to her?
10:59I'll prove I'm the daughter you should be proud of, even if I'm not as noble as my sister.
11:02She stormed out, and my father sent guards to tail her.
11:05They reported she went straight to Marcus' estate.
11:07I placed a hand on father's shoulder.
11:10There's something more urgent.
11:11A massive earthquake will hit the western peaks you need to prepare.
11:14Father went rigid.
11:15I'll go see the king at once.
11:18Marcus will handle the prevention.
11:19Let him take it.
11:20You focus on organizing relief.
11:22Father looked uncertain, but chose to trust me.
11:24Marcus wanted the Alpha Throne.
11:25What I didn't expect was that he'd hand all the credit to Aurora.
11:28Within days, rumors spread like wildfire.
11:31The moon goddess's prophecy was dug up.
11:32Aurora Vale can see the future.
11:34Now people shook their heads when I was mentioned.
11:36What a pity.
11:37Natalia was once the most respected young wolf.
11:38Right?
11:38Pretty, educated, talented in every way, but she's nothing compared to her gifted sister.
11:41That's when Aurora cornered me in the study.
11:42She pressed her hand over mine and sister.
11:45I think it's my turn to be Luna now.
11:52You think I became Luna because of Marcus?
11:55Did you ever consider you've got it backwards?
11:59That mouth.
12:00That face.
12:00I hate them both.
12:01You're the one with the real gift.
12:03So what?
12:03I have your memories.
12:05I can play the chosen one easily too.
12:06All those years hiding your power was such a waste.
12:09Don't worry.
12:09I'll make good use of it.
12:11Natalia!
12:12Touch her again and you won't be my mistress.
12:14Your Highnessness.
12:15This is my father's state.
12:16Not yet your territory.
12:17Aurora provoked me.
12:18I was defending myself.
12:19Do you have a problem with that?
12:20Do you think father will still favor you if he finds you bullying Aurora?
12:23Bullying?
12:24She struck first.
12:25Let's get father and see who he'll side with.
12:27Marcus knew damn well father would back me.
12:29He pulled Aurora out of the room instead.
12:31Then I heard Aurora's pitiful voice.
12:33Marcus.
12:34I'm scared of her.
12:35Don't worry.
12:36Once we're mates, she won't dare harm you.
12:40Natalia!
12:41Aurora is gone!
12:42I set down my brush calmly.
12:45Gone or hiding?
12:56This isn't funny!
12:58The mating ceremony is in two days!
13:01She'll turn up.
13:02Probably wants Marcus to rescue her so she seems more valuable.
13:05How can you be so cold about your own sister?
13:07Half-sister.
13:08And she's the one playing games.
13:09But I helped search anyway.
13:11No point in making father suffer.
13:13We found Aurora in an abandoned warehouse on the edge of pack territory.
13:19Who did this to you?
13:22I don't know!
13:23They grabbed me from behind!
13:25No witnesses or evidence.
13:27No suspects.
13:28Just Aurora looking traumatized.
13:30Father apologized profusely for the security failure.
13:32I watched the whole performance with detached interest.
13:35On the mating ceremony day, the entire pack turned out to celebrate.
13:38Marcus and Aurora stood on the palace balcony, looking perfect together.
13:42Miss Vale, you don't look heartbroken.
13:44Most women would be devastated.
13:46Your childhood friend.
13:47Choosing your bastard sister over you.
13:49Most women didn't spend five years building a man's empire only to have him carve the flesh off their face
13:53and feed them to the packs.
14:11That sent sparks of pleasure through me.
14:14Suddenly Dominic pulled back, picked up the dropped thumb, and used the cold metal butt to lift my chin, forcing
14:19my eyes to meet his.
14:20The icy barrel pressed against my jaw, as his thumb brushed roughly over my swollen lip.
14:25Every heart injury primed him against me in an insistent rhythm.
14:28Dominic was hard for me, but he pushed me away anyway.
14:30The gun was loaded, pressed against my chin.
14:33Dominic's voice was low and restrained.
14:34I won't be the other man.
14:36You know I don't have anyone in my life.
14:38I looked much happier after I said that, but I knew he wouldn't turn me down.
14:41Sure enough, he pinned me to the wall, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
14:45He looked like he wanted to rip me to pieces.
14:47After a long while, he laughed softly.
14:50Don't regret this.
14:53His phone rang and ran an ocean without anything to support me.
14:56The phone was still buzzing.
14:57The screen lit up.
14:58My blood ran cold.
14:59The message was from a number I recognized instantly, yet it was addressed to Dominic with professional deference.
15:04This is from the first time I met Dominic.
15:05Back then, I was still green at that to develop a habit of sleeping with my targets.
15:09I sauntered into a bar, my black clothes concealing the blood on me perfectly.
15:13I drank myself half to death, feeling brooding and pessimistic.
15:17I couldn't help but think that my life was over.
15:19Being an assassin wasn't glamorous, and I kept getting injured.
15:22People kept trying to hit on me.
15:23I lounged lazily with a faint smile on my face, looking like a fragile little thing.
15:28No one knew I did the dirtiest, deadliest work in the world.
15:31I was annoyed, but I didn't let it show.
15:33Instead, I deliberately put on a show of pouring something into my drink, while smiling mischievously,
15:38saying,
15:38There's poison in here.
15:40You'll die if you drink it.
15:41They wanted to sleep with me, but they didn't even have the nerve to touch the glass because
15:45of my words, whether true or false.
15:47I wasn't bored because all the while I sensed someone lurking in the shadows, their eyes locked
15:51on me.
15:51Their gaze was blunt and searing, and I could hardly miss it.
15:54I barely had to wait before he showed himself in front of me.
15:57He picked up the glass and downed the liquor.
15:59The rim hit the counter with a clatter.
16:00The polished surface caught clean, sharp features.
16:03He looked down and said softly,
16:04Your wounds will faster if you don't get them treated soon.
16:07I saw the desire roiling beneath the layer of ice in his eyes.
16:10He and I were of the same kind, so of course we slept together.
16:13A peak that left me shaking and crying.
16:15By the next morning, I was gone.
16:17My wounds had been treated, and I was clean.
16:19I'd never felt so good before.
16:21It was a shame, but I didn't want to have anything to do with regular people.
16:24So I left a note and a bank card.
16:26The note was a farewell, and the bank card was his remuneration.
16:29It was a polite and detached move.
16:31I thought our paths would never cross again.
16:33Until a few months down the road, when my boss issued me a new mission to assassinate
16:37a mafia boss with an astronomical bounty on him.
16:40The face that had stared back at me was Dominic's.
16:43When I woke up, I felt like my body was falling apart.
16:46I knew Dominic was no simpleton, but I didn't expect him to be this crazy.
16:49I lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
16:51My legs gave out the moment I stood up, and I fell to the floor.
16:54My body was marked everywhere, and I tugged on it and snorted.
16:58Is this a captivity kink?
17:00Dominic's voice boomed from out of nowhere.
17:02You're up.
17:03Breakfast is on the table.
17:04Do you feel okay?
17:06I turned to see a surveillance camera aiming right at me.
17:08He hadn't even tried to hide it.
17:10I grabbed the blanket and pulled it over my body while...
17:12Explain this.
17:13Dominic's voice sounded unbelievably calm as it came from the surveillance camera.
17:17It looks good.
17:18I was baffled.
17:20Then I narrowed my eyes, and my expression turned icy.
17:22Dominic's tone shifted as he added.
17:24His voice sounded a little glum.
17:25It's the oldest story in the book.
17:27The evil dragon falls in love with the princess.
17:30Making sure that she can never leave.
17:32I said coolly.
17:33The princess ultimately gets saved by the prince, though.
17:35He chuckled.
17:36I snorted and said sarcastically,
17:38I don't like you, Dominic.
17:41What's the point of you doing this?
17:43He was unfazed.
17:45Is that so?
17:47You felt so good that you cried last night, though.
17:50Or was I mistaken?
17:51Once again, I was rendered speechless.
17:53Dominic was tall and handsome.
17:54Could anyone keep themselves from getting turned on by such a striking face and body?
17:58For once, I didn't clap back.
18:01Initially, I clung to a shred of hope that this was just one of Dominic's whims.
18:04He would let me go once he was tired of me in the game.
18:07Three days later, all my things were packed neatly and dropped off at the villa.
18:11A week later, everything in the house started coming in pairs.
18:15A month later, Dominic opened my door while holding a pillow.
18:18You've had a month to process this.
18:20Have you accepted reality yet?
18:22I had nothing to say.
18:23I had indeed accepted reality, thank you very much.
18:26I backed away when I saw his eyes darken with lust.
18:29Hold on.
18:30I think I might need more time to process this.
18:33Dominic pressed his body to mine.
18:34Talk to him.
18:35Not me.
18:36I couldn't accept that I was starting to love his body.
18:39To love every single one of his kisses.
18:41So, I started a daily routine of attempting to assassinate Dominic.
18:45The first time, I hid a dagger behind me, wanting to kill him in one strike when his guard was
18:50down.
18:50I ended up being pinned to the tape.
18:51The second time, I reflected on my mistakes and opted for the poison route.
18:55I used the poison that I kept for extreme situations.
18:58A tiny drop would instantly make one froth at the mouth.
19:01I made sure to lace the wine with it beforehand, and I smiled gently as I watched him pick up
19:05his glass and hold it to his lips.
19:07When he paused, my heart shot to my throat.
19:10What's wrong?
19:11He laughed.
19:12You know there are surveillance cameras in the room, right?
19:15I was silent for a moment.
19:16Then, I slowly looked up with a smile that didn't meet my eyes.
19:19Isn't that for show?
19:20Dominic put down the glass, drawling.
19:22There are real simple places you can't see.
19:24I clenched my fists and downed my drink, which I hadn't poisoned.
19:28After a moment, I tugged at my collar.
19:30Why is it getting so warm?
19:32His eyes darkened, and he said huskily,
19:34I put something in your drink, too.
19:36I tried to fight back my body's reaction, but I panted as I snarled.
19:40I'm going to kill you, Dominic.
19:41He tapped the corner of his lips, unruffled.
19:44Kiss me, and I'll give you the antidote.
19:46Damn it.
19:47I would remember this.
19:48Dominic had imprisoned me, restricted my rights, broken his promises, and gone back on his woad.
19:53His vile deeds were too numerous to list.
19:55I swore I would take him down.
19:57I had to kill him.
19:59After trying and failing multiple times, I switched tactics.
20:03I lay in wait at night for a surprise ambush.
20:05Dominic came home drunk, which was rare.
20:08His guard was down, missing plenty in my life, but no one had ever toyed with me like this.
20:12For a moment, I was both angry and embarrassed.
20:14It was all Dominic's fault for being so sick in the head.
20:17He'd infected me with his insanity.
20:19He coughed softly, his Adam's apple quivering as if he were laughing.
20:22I tightened my grip further and threatened him in a low voice.
20:25You don't know what it's like to suffocate, do you?
20:28You'd better savor it before you die.
20:32Dominic's expression finally shifted and his voice grew strained.
20:35He was on the brink of go of me.
20:36I ducked aside and looked down at my hands without saying a word.
20:39He was so sick.
20:40Where had things gone wrong?
20:42He looked at me, making me jolt.
20:43I couldn't stop myself from taking a step back.
20:46Why are you hiding?
20:47He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.
20:49Anyone else would already be six feet under for trying to kill me so many times.
20:54Have I ever done anything to you?
20:56Come here.
20:59Stop fighting!
21:01Enough!
21:11We need peace, and let half-beasts govern the world unbreakable.
21:20In my previous life, I chose to marry Jax, the eldest son of the werewolf pack.
21:24Who was known for his extreme loyalty.
21:26We gave birth to a hybrid cub with white fur and named him Zeal.
21:30Our child became the next ruler of the world, and Jax gained immense power as a result.
21:35My sister, obsessed with the beauty of the elves, married into their clan.
21:40But the elven prince slept with every female in the forest.
21:46In the end, she contracted a strange disease and became barren ever since.
21:50Consumed by jealousy and resentment, she said of...
21:53Help me!
21:56Help me!
21:58When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day of the interracial marriage alliances.
22:03I knew she had been reborn, too.
22:06This was when I was young.
22:08There, on the massive fur-covered bed, my sister Clara and Jax were tangled together, naked.
22:13Clara gasped, her nails raking down his muscled back.
22:17Clara, what the hell are you doing?
22:21Sister, Jax and I are truly in love.
22:23Please, let us be together.
22:29And we've already fucked!
22:30If I don't marry Jax now, no other prince will want me as his wife!
22:37Rowena, maybe you can pick another mate.
22:39Clara just got carried away and made a mistake.
22:41Father was there, too, speaking up for her.
22:44He always favored Clara because I was his bastard daughter from a fling outside, while Clara was born to his
22:49legitimate wife.
22:50I looked down at Clara, kneeling on the floor now.
22:53Her face was streaked with tears, looking all innocent, but her eyes burned with ambition and thrill.
22:59I knew she was reborn to my past life.
23:01I'd chosen Jax, the eldest son of the werewolf alpha.
23:04To me, vampires were cold and heartless.
23:07Elves were fickle players.
23:08Only werewolves were loyal and passionate, the perfect choice.
23:12Six months after mating with Jax, I bore him a white wolf pup, naming him Zeal.
23:17As the first hybrid born, Zeal became the rightful next ruler of the world.
23:23I always thought I would live happily with my child like this forever.
23:27Until that, but Clara, craving the elves' allure, picked the elf prince Eldrin.
23:31She didn't know he'd rut with every willing female in the woods.
23:35It left Clara with a nasty infection, barren for life and shunned by the elf clan.
23:40She blamed me for her misery, jealous that my life was better.
23:44She slipped me a sedative and set our den ablaze.
23:47Thinking of it now, rage boiled in my veins.
23:49I wanted to rip Clara's throat out right there, avenging Zeal.
23:52My fists clenched in my sleeves, nails biting into my palms, snapping me back to reality.
23:58I nodded, putting on a knowing smile.
24:01Since you and Jax are so in love, I won't stand in your way.
24:05Clara hadn't expected me to agree so easily.
24:07The tears she'd forced out hung awkwardly on her lashes.
24:12Clara, get up.
24:14Thank your sister for her blessing.
24:17Thank you, sister.
24:27Girls really do grow up and slip away too quickly.
24:30Father joked, but when he turned and saw my cold face, he looked guilty.
24:34Rowene, the only unmated heirs left from the ruling clans are the vampire lord,
24:40Thorn, and the elf prince Eldrin.
24:43I think the elves aren't a bad pick.
24:45Their looks and status are way above the vampire's.
24:49And Clara mentioned before.
24:51I cut father off.
24:52Father, I'll mate with the vampire clan's thorn.
24:58Humans always saw vampires as cold-blooded monsters, full of prejudice.
25:02For thousands of years, no human had chosen a vampire alliance, so the vampires never produced
25:08a world ruler.
25:09It got them sidelined by the other races, treated as outcasts with no resources.
25:15Calling out my name at the top of his lungs.
25:27He tried to save me, but the flames were too fierce and he could do nothing.
25:32Father wasn't happy with my choice, but seeing how determined I was, he didn't push it anymore.
25:38He just sighed and tried to comfort me.
25:40If things get tough in the vampire clan, Clara can help you out.
25:46But when Clara heard I'd chosen to mate with the vampire clan, she couldn't hold back and mocked me right
25:51to my face.
25:53Sister, even if you can't have jacks, you don't have to pick the run-down vampire clan.
25:58Don't end up starving before you even pop out a kid.
26:01I hear the vampires are going bankrupt.
26:04The werewolf pack is loaded.
26:06Even their bath water is infused with precious moonlight.
26:09If your days get too rough, sister, I can pack up some leftovers for you.
26:13She said it all without caring about the servant's weird looks, covering her mouth and laughing hysterically.
26:20In Clara's mind, the werewolf pack had endless resources, and Jax was...
26:24But she didn't know that humans and werewolves didn't breed easily, and Jax was obsessed with airs.
26:33After six months with no pregnant his rage on me eating a pup,
26:36it wasn't until I used a secret ritual to get pregnant and birthed zeal securing power for the werewolves,
26:41that Jax finally eased up.
26:43I smiled faintly.
26:45For me, my previous marriage with Jax was not a happy one.
26:48I offered Clara a calm smile.
26:51He's just some trouble I don't want.
26:53Go ahead and take it.
26:59Rowena, what's there to be proud of picking a broke-ass vampire?
27:11I'll be the first to get pregnant!
27:13My child will be the next Alliance ruler!
27:16I ignored her tantrum and went to prepare for the wedding in three days.
27:28Clara was right about one thing.
27:30The vampire clan was dirt poor.
27:32I worried they couldn't even afford a proper gown, so I planned to get one ready myself.
27:37But to my surprise, that night Thorn came personally to deliver the wedding dress.
27:49This was the first time I really took in Thorn's appearance.
28:00This was the one who had tried to save me in my previous life at the very last moment of
28:04my life.
28:05Opening the box, there was a blood-red trailing gown.
28:08The chest adorned with glowing dark crimson gems.
28:11I'd never seen such a stunning dress.
28:12Yes, I was mesmerized.
28:15Miss Rowena, this is hand-stitched by our vampire clan's finest tailors.
28:18The blood gems are blessings from our people.
28:21This is the first vampire human unity.
28:23If anything's not to your liking, tell me.
28:25Thorn looked at me with deliberate distance as if he wasn't the one about to mate with me.
28:31I love it.
28:34Just as I was about to put the dress away, Clara sauntered in, arm linked with Jax's looking smug as
28:40hell.
28:40Sister, you can't seriously have just this one dress?
28:43Jax prepared a whole ten wedding gowns for me, each one sexier than the lace.
28:48Clara only knew werewolves were deeply loyal, but she didn't get that it was pure instinct, making them fixated on
28:55breeding.
28:55If she didn't give him a pup soon, would Jax still pamper her?
28:59Thorne's grip on his scepter tightened for a moment.
29:03He looked at me seriously.
29:07It's my vampire clan that scrowed you, Miss Rowena.
29:11I promise you, Thorne will never repay you in this life.
29:19Pretty words are easy.
29:20Let's see if you can even knock her up.
29:24Clara couldn't stop yapping about babies now.
29:26Her baron passed the sister.
29:28Focus on your own mating.
29:30Someone might think you're eyeing my fiancé again.
29:32I smiled faintly at Clara, and in the midst of her and Jax's ugly expressions, I took Thorne's hand and
29:38left.
29:43Soon, from behind, I heard Clara flirting with Jax.
29:46Her voice...
29:47My stupid sister, reborn and still obsessed with rising through motherhood.
29:52compassion.
29:53Sarah...Brotherする...
29:57Gina... Sarah.

30:19.
30:49.
31:19.
31:52.
32:01It was Jasmine's maid.
32:02Did you call a doctor?
32:04What do you mean she's suddenly not feeling well?
32:06The moment Drake heard that Jasmine wasn't feeling well,
32:08he didn't even hesitate to shove me aside as he rushed to get dressed.
32:11She was fine when we were in bed just now.
32:13Then, as if realizing what he just said,
32:15he paused and looked at me with guilt.
32:16i'll be back soon owen is dead i'm all she has now just wait for me okay he never needed
32:22my
32:22permission or approval to go see jasmine unlike when he was with me he just expected me to wait
32:26for him indefinitely but i couldn't wait anymore i wouldn't i smiled at him and that was all it
32:31took to put his mind at ease as he walked out the door leaving me and our son caiden behind
32:35again
32:35he didn't know that i'd received news that he was planning a marking ceremony with jasmine
32:38i closed my eyes and called upon the wolf i'd kept hidden for so long maybe this was for the
32:43best
32:43his betrayal would make it easier for me to leave with caiden i got in touch with my family easily
32:48they were overjoyed especially my father the moment he found out he was a grandfather he was so emotional
32:53he nearly cried he wanted caiden and me to return to windmere immediately just then my sleeping son
32:58mumbled softly in his sleep daddy you promised me it would be his fifth birthday in two days even in
33:04his dreams he was holding on to drake's promise to celebrate his birthday together i gently stroked his
33:08sleeping face as tears welled up in my eyes just two more days i wanted caiden to leave without any
33:14regrets but before dawn a sharp knock on the door shattered his sweet dream it was drake's mother
33:18patricia sinclair sending someone to bring caiden and me back to her place i frowned knowing that
33:23patricia had always looked down on us to her i was just some nameless rogue from an outsider tribe who
33:27got lucky when i met her precious son drake and she didn't like caiden either after all she thought
33:32that someone like jasmine who had pure blood and came from the same pack was the only woman worthy of
33:36being luna unlike me caiden was excited he thought drake was finally coming to take him home but when
33:41we arrived at patricia's house we were greeted by drake's relatives all looking at us with disdain
33:45drake who hadn't come home all night was standing beside jasmine with a gentle expression as he
33:49supported her patricia completely ignored caiden and me smiling as she made an announcement
33:53jasmine is pregnant as per our agreement drake will be the next alpha of the blaze tooth pack
33:58their child will be the rightful heir and soon drake and jasmine will hold their marking ceremony
34:03the room erupted in excitement as everyone turned to jasmine i however stared straight at drake he
34:08placed a tender hand on jasmine's stomach acting like he couldn't see me or caiden standing just a
34:12few feet away yeah i'm finally going to be a father finally a sharp pain shot through my heart
34:17beside me caiden had his little hand tightened around mine as he asked in a trembling voice
34:21mommy what is daddy saying am i not his child his soft voice made the entire room go silent
34:27then drake's relatives sneered he's just an illegitimate child but he actually dared to speak up
34:32here if people find out the alpha of blaze tooth pack has an illegitimate child you know what that'll
34:36do to our reputation a low-born woman and her rat trying to claim the bear's position you can only
34:40do it over my dead body there's no way we can let anyone know that kid is drake's patricia scoffed
34:45and looked at us with pure disdain from now on we'll say the child is an orphan we took in
34:49as for selena she's just a mate drake hired to take care of him i gripped caiden's hand tighter
34:54i had always known patricia hated us she was the one who first suggested that jasmine should carry
34:58drake's child i'm not an orphan i have a mommy and a daddy caiden's eyes turned red as he held
35:03back his tears protesting in a small voice mom isn't this going too far drake let go of jasmine's
35:09hand and took a step toward us but before he could come any closer i saw jasmine reach out and
35:13pull
35:13him back he hesitated for a few seconds then he fell silent fine i agree with your plan i stepped
35:20forward with caiden and faced drake and patricia head on my child is not an orphan he doesn't need to
35:25be adopted from this day forward caiden is mine alone he has nothing to do with drake
35:29i kneeled and fought back tears as i whispered to caiden baby don't call him daddy anymore okay
35:34drake froze he knew it was all because of caiden that i had agreed to return to blaze tooth pack
35:38and accepted his relationship with jasmine he promised to give caiden a rightful identity
35:42and now i was giving that up myself he stared into my eyes trying to read my emotions but i
35:48looked away
35:48he would never have my heart again caiden was too young to understand everything that was happening
35:53he cried so hard that his eyes were swollen i just wanted to take him home and comfort him
36:23he cried so hard that his the day her eyes looked at him and saw many acknowledge his son in
36:25his face
36:25he was stillской the girl that he married him and so as hetered so while I was going
36:38i just went down to wonder he had looked back in the faith price this time he looked fetched
36:39to you on his life because he went to anotheroltononononononononononononononononononononononononock
36:52mincee had not taken care of hisäg Snapchat for being the day out of him and his family
36:53looking back. Caden couldn't understand what had happened today. He cried silently in my arms and
36:57asked me if Drake didn't want him anymore, and if I was the only person in the world who loved
37:00him.
37:01I held him tightly. That's not true. Many people love my little hero. Grandpa Alex and Grandma Bella
37:06miss us very much. They can't wait to see you. Do you want to leave with me and go find
37:10them?
37:11He hesitated, clutching the toy car Drake had given him last year for his birthday.
37:15But, I don't want to leave Daddy. I held back my tears and gently reassured him,
37:19Daddy and Grandma Patricia don't want us to stay here. Do you want to call him Uncle Drake for the
37:23rest of your life? He froze for a moment, then slowly put down the toy car. Tears welled up in
37:27his eyes as he pleaded with me. Can I at least spend this birthday with Daddy before we leave?
37:32I just want one last memory with him. He refused to call him Uncle Drake. I silently wiped away my
37:38tears and kissed the top of his head. Of course, my love. But two days later, on his birthday, Drake,
37:43who had promised to throw him a party, never showed up. I called him and asked angrily,
37:47it's Caden's birthday today. You promised you'd be home. Where are you? I could handle
37:52disappointment but couldn't bear to see Caden's last bit of hope shatter. Drake didn't say a
37:55single word before hanging up. Daddy's not coming, is he? Caden lowered his head, staring at the cake
38:00before him while trying to convince himself. It's okay, Mommy, Uncle Drake is just really busy.
38:05You can celebrate with me instead. It was the first time he'd ever called Drake Uncle. He seemed to
38:10accept that Drake didn't want him anymore, but the way he bit his lip and forced a smile
38:14shattered my heart into pieces. Furious, I was about to call him again when I suddenly
38:17received a message from him. Come back to Blaze Tooth Pack. Baby, look. Daddy remembered your
38:22birthday. Caden's eyes lit up with hope as he gasped in excitement. Mommy, Daddy remembered my
38:28birthday. Let's go. He must have so many presents for me. After receiving confirmation from Drake that
38:33he had indeed prepared a birthday party, Caden was beyond ecstatic. He grabbed my hand and practically
38:37dragged me to the villa in the pack. But as soon as I stepped inside, my heart sank at the
38:41sight
38:41before me. The room was filled with roses. Guests in formal attire mingled around. This didn't feel
38:46like a birthday party at all. It felt more like. Caden, however, didn't notice. He ran straight
38:52toward Drake, who was standing in front of a cake, and threw himself into his arms. Daddy, I'm here.
38:57Are you waiting for me to cut the cake? Drake looked utterly shocked to see us. Why are you here?
39:02He was dressed in his formal suit and standing next to Jasmine. His reaction confirmed my worst fear.
39:06The guests began whispering amongst themselves. Isn't today supposed to be Alpha Drake's announcement
39:11of his luna? Why is there suddenly a kid here? That child called him Daddy. Could he be an
39:16illegitimate son? Hearing their words, Drake suddenly pushed Caden away. What did you just call me?
39:20Caden stumbled backward, falling to the floor. He looked up at Drake, terrified, unsure of what he had
39:25done wrong. This was too much. I rushed forward to pick him up, ready to leave, but Jasmine stepped in
39:30front of me. Selina, today is the official announcement of Drake's and my titles. You crashed the event
39:35on purpose, didn't you? The smug smirk on her face told me everything I needed to know.
39:40She was the one who had sent that text. She clung to Drake's arm and said in a voice dripping
39:44with mockery.
