No Mistress, Only Luna

Short filmTranscript
00:00At my wedding, my chosen mate's sister-in-law ended her life, because I refused to let her become his
00:05mistress.
00:07The eve of the wedding, Lucian knelt outside my door for three days.
00:16Isabella and I were truly in love, until she became my brother's fated mate.
00:20Now that he's dead, fate is finally giving us a second chance.
00:24Please, just let us be together.
00:26I didn't agree. Now Isabella lay dead before me.
00:30Her blood splattered my wedding dress.
00:32Fletching her corpse, Lucian howled in agony.
00:34A second later,
00:36This is your fault! You murdered her!
00:40I'll make you pay!
00:4321 stabs. He didn't stop until I was dead.
00:46What rage he still took out on me after that, I never knew.
00:49Perhaps my death was too unjust.
00:55My eyes snapped open, back on my wedding.
00:57Three days he's knelt out there.
01:00Why hound you instead of begging Alpha Garrick?
01:02Shameless!
01:03The Blackwood heir had knelt at Silverfang for three days.
01:06It was already headline news.
01:08Spectators swarmed outside the pack house.
01:10Standing in the foyer, I let out a cold laugh.
01:13Of course Lucian didn't dare beg his father.
01:16Taking his brother's widow as a mistress was an absolute scandal.
01:19Alpha Garrick would never agree.
01:21It would make Blackwood a laughingstock.
01:23So Lucian resorted to pressuring me.
01:25Last life.
01:26My refusal got Isabella killed.
01:31He blamed everything on me.
01:33Yet he knew his Alpha and Luna were the true obstacle.
01:36Too cowardly to defy his Alpha, he came after the easiest prey.
01:39Me, he pressured the only person he could control me.
01:42A car pulled up to the pack house.
01:43A she-wolf dressed in black morning clothes stepped out.
01:46She walked over to Lucian and abruptly dropped to her knees.
01:50Isabella, stop. I'll handle Selina.
01:52Tears spilling, Isabella shook her head.
01:54Someone as fortunate as Selina could never understand me.
01:58Selina is so blessed.
02:00She could never understand my kind of pain.
02:03She'll never agree.
02:05Please stop, Lucian.
02:08I'm not worth humiliating yourself over.
02:11I'm not worth your pride.
02:13Gazing at her obsessively, Lucian wiped her tears.
02:18I will protect you forever.
02:21Watching their pathetic performance, I scoffed inwardly.
02:24They staged this public stunt to turn the pack against me.
02:27Spotting me, Lucian immediately shouted,
02:29Selina, you have the wisdom of a priestess.
02:32You're not like those irrational she-wolves.
02:34You are a descendant of the kind priestess.
02:37Have some compassion.
02:39Please, pity Isabella's pain.
02:41Let me take her as my mistress.
02:43Let me protect her.
02:44Taking your brother's widow as a mistress.
02:46To protect her?
02:49What a fascinating definition of protection.
02:52We were meant to be.
02:54Now that my brother is gone, I just want to take care of her.
02:58I swear, I will never interfere with the Silver Fang and Blackwood Alliance.
03:02I'm even going to drink the Baron Troc Potion.
03:12Selina, please.
03:13Just let me stay by his side.
03:15The gathering pack began to murmur.
03:18She's actually willing to make herself Baron.
03:21Poor thing.
03:22I said nothing.
03:23I was waiting for the perfect moment, and it was almost here.
03:27Lucian and Isabella's faces suddenly dropped.
03:29A familiar scent hit the air, Luna Morwen of Blackwood.
03:32Lucian's mother had arrived.
03:34I was the one who sent for her.
03:36Lucian, what is the meaning of this?
03:38Luna Morwen glared furiously at her son.
03:40Your brother is barely gone, and you are the heir now.
03:44Are you trying to disgrace the entire pack?
03:46Lucian scrambled to his feet, nearly collapsing from his numb legs.
03:50Isabella reached out to steady him.
03:52Luna Morwen slapped her.
03:53The brutal slap sent Isabella crashing to the ground.
03:56Did you think I was blind?
03:57Oh, Ronan has only just gone, yet you're already sinking your claws into my youngest son?
04:01Instinctively.
04:02Her hands flew to her lower stomach, shielding it tight.
04:05My priestess bloodline gave me an acute sensitivity to life forces.
04:09I could feel the new life pulsing within her.
04:11She was pregnant at least three months along.
04:13But her mate, Ronan, left for the northern battlefield six months ago.
04:17Who exactly was the father of this pup?
04:19Luna Morwen stared coldly at Isabella.
04:21Why do you keep clutching your stomach?
04:23Isabella's face turned pale.
04:25Well, Lucian immediately stepped in front of her.
04:27Mother, you're scaring her.
04:29As Luna, I wouldn't deny any woman the right to be a mother.
04:31But since Isabella willingly made this promise, I believe the healer can help us.
04:35Looking at them, I slowly said the second half of my sentence.
04:39Then have the healer prep the barren bug potion right now.
04:46The air went quiet.
04:48Lucian jerked his head up to look at me.
04:50Selena, what do you mean?
04:52How can you be so cruel?
04:53I calmly looked at them and the watching werewolves.
04:56She promised to drink the elixir.
04:58She's the one who offered to drink the elixir to prove her innocence.
05:02I'm only honoring the promise she made.
05:04I fulfilled Isabella's wish.
05:06You should praise me for being merciful.
05:08Isabella feigned calm, but her eyes betrayed her panic.
05:12I don't feel well.
05:13If I drink the barren berry potion now, my wolf will die.
05:16She shrank back, clutching her stomach.
05:19I wasn't blinded by hatred.
05:20I knew clearly that the killer who murdered me in my past life was Lucian.
05:24I wouldn't really force Isabella to drink the barren berry potion to hurt her pup.
05:28However, if Isabella thought having a bastard with her husband's brother would go undiscovered,
05:33then she was wrong.
05:35You're not feeling well?
05:36Then we definitely need the healer to take a look at you.
05:39I ordered my maid to go get the pack healer.
05:41In my father's territory, my commands were always executed efficiently.
05:45The pack healer arrived quickly.
05:47Isabella tried to run away.
05:49But I ordered the warriors and they caught her.
05:51Handed by two warriors, Isabella turned deathly pale.
05:54The healer stepped forward.
05:56Lucian lunged in front of her.
05:57Don't you dare touch her.
05:59The guards rushed to intercept him.
06:01A split second later, his oppressive alpha aura erupted.
06:06Back the hell off!
06:10Like a madman, Lucian threw a brutal punch, roaring a warrior.
06:14He scooped Isabella up and bolted.
06:16Luna Morwen bellowed in outrage.
06:18Lucian!
06:19How dare you start a fight on silver-flaying territory!
06:22I forbid you to leave!
06:24Deaf to his mother's command, Lucian vanished.
06:26Of course he didn't dare stay.
06:28He was terrified Isabella's pregnancy would be exposed.
06:31Luna Morwen flushed with shame.
06:33Selina!
06:34I failed to discipline my son.
06:36But our alliance cannot be broken.
06:38Please overlook today's scandal.
06:40For generations, the two packs had bound themselves through marriage.
06:43Bound by our ancestors, ancient pact, eternal intermarriage,
06:47eternal alliance, absolute loyalty to the Alpha King.
06:50My betrothal to Lucian was brokered by both packs and the Alpha King himself.
06:54It was more than just a marriage, it symbolized ultimate alliance and loyalty.
06:59It could never be easily annulled.
07:01Which was why I was forced to marry Lucian in my past life.
07:04I offered a cold smile.
07:05Of course.
07:07The pact remains intact.
07:09But I require a new mate.
07:11I will marry Ronan.
07:12Ronan, the Alpha King's most trusted Alpha Commander, Lucian's older brother,
07:16and Isabella's new mate.
07:18He went missing in the recent northern war.
07:21Isabella thinks she will no longer feel her mate bond.
07:25But Ronan is dead.
07:30I'd rather wed a dead hero than a wolf like Lucian.
07:34Luna Morwen looked at me approvingly.
07:36Do you truly mean that?
07:37I nodded firmly.
07:39I was 24 with no fated mate.
07:42Neither had Lucian.
07:43The pact had to be honored either way.
07:44Marrying a dead hero was a far better hand than marrying him.
07:47No one could interfere with my decision.
07:49Soon, every pact knew I was entering a formal mating bond with Ronan.
07:53Lucian eagerly sought his father, begging permission to mate with Isabella.
07:57Alpha Garrick punished him severely, forbidding him from seeing Isabella.
08:02Unexpectedly, Lucian and Isabella eloped.
08:04They vanished for three days.
08:06When they returned, they were already mates.
08:08This scandal deeply humiliated both families.
08:11Alpha Garrick wanted to strip Lucian's inheritance,
08:14but he didn't because Lucian was his only remaining heir.
08:17Ultimately, he announced to the pact,
08:20Isabella will never be Luna.
08:21On the eve of the wedding, the Alpha King summoned me.
08:24He bestowed many precious wedding gifts upon me.
08:28Ronan is truly fortunate.
08:29In my wedding gown, I stood before Ronan's relics.
08:32The scents on the broken sword were complex blood, battlefield dust,
08:36and the aura of a truly powerful Alpha.
08:38I traced the blade.
08:40It felt like a sealed connection awakened me.
08:42I felt struck by lightning.
08:44A violent shudder.
08:45My wolf screamed.
09:00Through this sword, I could almost feel Ronan's body heat.
09:03The scenes of him in battle flashed through my mind.
09:05I saw every wound he took.
09:07I felt every wound as if it were my own.
09:09I could even feel his every agony.
09:12A tear hit the back of my hand.
09:14Impossible.
09:15Ronan was dead.
09:16And his fated mate was Isabella, not me.
09:19By the moon goddess, Salima Ashbourne.
09:21Do you take Ronan Garrick as your mate?
09:24Through poverty, illness, or war,
09:27vowing never to betray him?
09:29I do.
09:30It was an answer from the bottom of my heart.
09:32It had nothing to do with the Pax Pact.
09:34A strange emotion overwhelmed me.
09:36My tears flowed endlessly.
09:38Moved by my display, the guests shared the sorrow.
09:41Isabella and Lucian looked extremely awkward,
09:43especially during the mate vows.
09:45Just then, a commotion erupted outside the Pax House.
09:49Alpha!
09:50Alpha Garrick!
09:51Urgent news!
09:53What is it?
09:54Why the panic?
09:55A glorious victory!
09:56War god Ronan is alive!
09:58He just led our forces to utterly crush the Northern Rogue Rebellion,
10:01and he is marching home, triumphant!
10:06The six-month war had finally ended, Ronan was coming home.
10:09The Alpha King hosted a victory feast in his honor, inviting his family and me.
10:13As it turned out, Ronan had never been missing at all.
10:16It was a stratagem staged by him and the Alpha King.
10:19By faking his disappearance, they lowered the enemy's heart before launching a devastating,
10:23massive counterattack.
10:24But they never expected his strategic disappearance to cost him his fated mate.
10:28And now, I had become his mate.
10:30I didn't know if Ronan would accept me.
10:33After all, Isabella was his true fated mate, even if she wasn't a loyal one.
10:38Sleepless from the anticipation and anxiety surrounding tomorrow's feast,
10:41I took a walk in the forest.
10:43Carried on the night breeze,
10:44my heightened werewolf senses caught Isabella and Lucian's hushed voices.
10:52What should I do?
10:54Ronan is back.
10:55How can I face him?
10:57I'll be the laughingstoke of the entire pack at tomorrow's feast.
11:00Didn't you say your mate bond with him snapped?
11:02How is Ronan still alive?
11:06Maybe my wolf sensed it wrong.
11:08I don't know what happened.
11:11Forget it.
11:12What's done is done.
11:13The key now is keeping your pregnancy hidden.
11:16Keep it hidden.
11:17Burying their scandal wouldn't be that easy.
11:19This time, I wouldn't let them get away with it.
11:21I would rip their masks off right in front of the Alpha King.
11:24The feast was held in the grand hall of the Alpha King's castle.
11:27Standing among the pack, I listened to the constant buzz of speculation rippling.
11:31Ronan is actually alive.
11:33It's a miracle.
11:34Shame about his fated mate.
11:36Couldn't she just wait?
11:38The Alpha King is awarding Ronan the highest honor.
11:41A few more days, and she could have shared his glory.
11:43Not far away, Isabella stood holding Lucien's arm.
11:50She wore a loose dress, cleverly concealing her slightly rounded belly.
11:54Her face looked awful, having clearly overheard the gossip.
11:57Selena, you look very calm.
11:59Shouldn't I be?
12:03Ronan has returned.
12:05And Isabella, I know this isn't easy for you.
12:09Not easy.
12:09After dying from 21 stab wounds in my last life, anything was better, though I was indeed
12:14a little nervous.
12:15After all, I was meeting my mate, the Swordsmaster, the scent that thrilled me.
12:19Yet he didn't belong to me.
12:20Ronan had not yet rejected Isabella the moment they met.
12:23The fated mate bond would draw them together.
12:25He is here!
12:26Ronan Garrick slowly strode into the hall, taller than I had imagined him.
12:30A black military uniform wrapped his broad shoulders.
12:33Those eyes froze the instant he saw me.
12:35The next second, the air turned boiling hot.
12:37My wolf went utterly berserk.
12:39This familiar sensation was exactly like touching his sword at the same time.
12:43Ronan's body also visibly went rigid.
12:45He stared dead at me.
12:49Ronan was my fated mate.
12:51Impossible.
12:52Wasn't he Isabella's fated mate?
12:54Did he reject her already?
12:55I darted a glance at Isabella, searching her for any trace of rejection.
12:59But she didn't look like someone suffering the agony of a rejected bond.
13:03Why was this happening?
13:04Was Isabella truly Ronan's fated mate?
13:06If so, why didn't she even know Ronan was still alive?
13:09After his disappearance, she claimed their bond had snapped.
13:12Before I could think any further, Ronan was already walking toward me.
13:16The entire hall fell dead silent.
13:18Everyone was watching us.
13:19He stopped right in front of me.
13:21His towering figure almost completely enveloped me.
13:24That familiar scent washed over me.
13:26Exactly like the scent on his broken sword.
13:28My wolf was on the verge of losing control.
13:31Ronan looked down at me, his eyes brimming with amusement.
13:34So, you are my mate.
13:39Seems failing to mark Isabella six months ago was no accident.
13:44The moon goddess had other plans.
13:47He took my hand, gently kissing the back.
13:50The contact almost made my entire body tremble.
14:00Ronan, I am your fated mate.
14:05Isabella, what the hell are you saying?
14:07You're my mate.
14:08I marked you.
14:09Lucian stared at her in shock.
14:10After the feast, I'll reject you and sever our bond.
14:13Honestly, I don't even feel it.
14:15Ronan hadn't rejected Isabella yet.
14:17Then what was that reaction between us just now, just then?
14:21Isabella slapped a hand to her mouth, going dead pale.
14:25She doubled over, dry heaving in front of everyone.
14:29The hall fell instantly silent.
14:31Lucian scrambled to hold her up.
14:33Isabella!
14:35Before the banquet, I had someone slip a pinch of moonvine powder into her sweet soup.
14:39It makes the body honest, exposing any deliberately hidden condition without causing harm.
14:47Murmurs gradually arose all around.
14:50That reaction, doesn't it look exactly like pregnancy?
14:53Crushing alpha aura instantly descended.
14:56The alpha king had arrived.
14:58He heard everything.
15:00Lucian, explain.
15:02Lucian's face stiffened.
15:04Your Majesty, Isabella isn't pregnant.
15:06She's just feeling unwell.
15:08I never said she was pregnant.
15:10The alpha king cut him straight off.
15:12His gaze landed on a luna among the guests.
15:15Luna Vivian, you possess the healing gift.
15:18Examine her.
15:19Your Majesty, she's perfectly fine.
15:21No need to trouble Luna Vivian.
15:22The alpha king's voice turned icy.
15:26Lucian, are you defying my command?
15:28Lucian went dead pale.
15:30Not daring to say another word, Isabella was trembling all over.
15:33Luna Vivian walked over to her.
15:35She gently placed her hand on Isabella's lower belly.
15:38The next second, her expression shifted.
15:40She's already three months pregnant.
15:45Every wolf knew Ronan had left six months ago, while Isabella had just married Lucian.
15:51Countless shocked and scornful gazes fell on Isabella and Lucian.
15:54Isabella went dead pale.
15:56She could barely stand.
15:57Instinctively, Lucian shielded her behind him.
16:00It's not what you think.
16:01Alpha Garrick roared.
16:02Lucian, explain yourself.
16:05Cold sweat covered Lucian's forehead.
16:07He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a single word because there was no explaining it.
16:11Yet I suddenly realized something else.
16:13Among werewolves, if betrayed by your own mate, the bond brings agonizing pain.
16:18A tormented second only to rejection.
16:20Yet Ronan showed absolutely no reaction.
16:23His hand-holding mind remained warm and steady.
16:25Not even the slightest instinctive reaction to the betrayal.
16:28As if the farce had nothing to do with him, he just stared coldly at Isabella.
16:32How strange.
16:34You betrayed me, yet I feel absolutely nothing.
16:40What right do you have?
16:42Ronan, you left first!
16:44Isabella's eyes turned red, completely hysterical.
16:47You didn't finish the wedding!
16:48Or mark me!
16:50The war was endless!
16:51How could I wait?
16:52She desperately made excuses for herself.
16:54I chose Lucian because you failed your mate duties.
16:57If you had just marked me, would I be in this mess?
17:00Enough!
17:01The Alpha King's patience might run out.
17:03Those who violate the Troghals, disrupt order, or tarnish the Alliance's reputation at my feast...
17:11...have no right to stand here any longer.
17:14He looked at the guards.
17:15Take them out.
17:16The moment the command dropped, the warriors all stepped forward.
17:20Terrified, Isabella hid behind Lucian.
17:22Lucian hurriedly turned to Alpha Garrett.
17:24...for help.
17:25Father!
17:25But Alpha Garrett looked away, giving no response.
17:28Lucian turned to Ronan again.
17:30Ronan!
17:30Say something!
17:31This is a misunderstanding!
17:33Ronan looked indifferent.
17:39You're not a child anymore.
17:40Learn to take responsibility for your actions.
17:43One sentence directly cut off his hope.
17:45They were forcibly dragged out.
17:47The feast became a farce.
17:49A flicker of guilt crossed my mind.
17:51Had I turned his victory feast into a circus?
17:53I was even distracted while dancing with Ronan, though he made my heart race.
17:57My mind was full of guilt.
17:59The next second, I lost my balance.
18:01Ronan!
18:01His arms slid around my waist, lifting me off my feet as we spun to the waltz.
18:05But he lifted me too high and spun too fast.
18:07I instinctively grabbed his shoulders.
18:10Ronan?
18:11What are you doing?
18:13Looking at me, he smiled.
18:14I want you to focus on our dance.
18:16Or rather, focus on me.
18:18As the song ended, he set me steadily back on the ground, leaning in to whisper in my ear,
18:23Selene, you did nothing wrong.
18:25Before I could respond, he gently took my hand.
18:29One more dance.
18:31Eyes on me this time.
18:33Forget the rest of the pack.
18:39The feast ended and we returned to the Blackwood Pack.
18:42Lucian and Isabella sat blankly in the hall, waiting for the pack's judgment.
18:45The moment Isabella saw Ronan, she rushed forward, crying.
18:49Ronan!
18:50Just listen to me!
18:52I was misunderstood!
18:54We are the true fated mates!
18:56Ronan stepped aside to dodge her.
18:58Looking down at her, his eyes devoid of any warmth.
19:02I've made myself clear.
19:04I feel nothing.
19:05Maybe the goddess made a mistake before, so she brought me Selene.
19:10Isabella froze.
19:11That's impossible.
19:13Lucian marking me caused this.
19:15It just masked our bond.
19:18Ronan completely lost his patience.
19:20Get the pack, healer.
19:22What are you doing?
19:24Isabella and Lucian blurted out at the same time.
19:26I, Ronan Garant of the Blackwood Pack, hereby reject Isabella of the Blackwood Pack.
19:36With that, Ronan gave a relaxed smile.
19:39Just as I thought.
19:40No bond.
19:42You didn't feel a thing.
19:44Cancel the healer.
19:48What's your excuse now?
19:50Isabella's trick had failed.
19:51She was never Ronan's fated mate.
19:53She forged everything.
19:54This also meant I wasn't Ronan's fated mate either.
19:57There were never any obstacles between Ronan and me.
20:00Yet we didn't feel the overwhelming pull of fated mates.
20:03Ronan comforted me.
20:04It doesn't matter.
20:05The goddess chose us.
20:07I felt a little better.
20:08So how did Isabella do it?
20:10It must have something to do with witches.
20:12But I didn't know exactly how it was done.
20:15Such spellbooks are kept in the moon goddess temple.
20:17Only a priestess could enter the moon goddess temple.
20:20And the silver fang pack hadn't produced a priestess in a century.
20:23Right now, no wolf was worthy to enter the temple.
20:29Lucian still didn't understand what had just happened.
20:32But Alpha Garak and Luna Morwen's faces had already darkened.
20:35They must have also guessed Isabella's connection to witches.
20:38This was forbidden among werewolves.
20:41Soon, Alpha Garak made his final judgment.
20:43Exile Isabella.
20:47The warriors immediately dragged Isabella away.
20:50Lucian widened his eyes.
20:54Father!
20:55You can't do this!
20:57You have no say in this.
21:00You're no longer my heir.
21:03Father!
21:04Are you going to exile me too?
21:07The Alpha remained silent.
21:09Ronan suddenly tightened his grip on my hand.
21:11Yet he seemed unaware, staring dead at Lucian.
21:14Ronan didn't love Isabella, feeling no anger or sadness over her betrayal.
21:18But he couldn't possibly not care about Lucian's betrayal.
21:21Alpha Garak said,
21:24You betrayed your brother for a she-wolf.
21:27I don't think I need to exile you.
21:29You will follow Isabella anyway.
21:36You always loved Ronan more.
21:39I'm nothing compared to him.
21:42Isabella is all I have.
21:44I can't lose her.
21:47Isabella lied to you.
21:48She doesn't love you at all.
21:50She used witches to fake her bond with Ronan.
21:53This she-wolf only loves power.
21:56Don't go!
21:58Witches, prove it!
22:00Lies!
22:01She's suffered enough!
22:03Why are you still attacking her?
22:05Lucian refused to believe it and ran out yelling.
22:08Ronan was in low spirits.
22:09My wolf sensed it.
22:11Ronan?
22:13Where am I staying tonight?
22:15His lips curled into a smile.
22:19My bedroom, of course.
22:25The moment the bedroom door clicked shut, the atmosphere changed instantly.
22:28When he called my name, his voice was much deeper than during the day.
22:31Before I could respond, he took a step closer.
22:34Still thinking about what just happened?
22:35I shook my head, but my mind was actually a mess.
22:38He reached out, his hand gently cupping the back of my neck.
22:41Then don't.
22:42The next second, his scent completely enveloped me.
22:44The moment the bond was truly triggered, I felt something ignite deep inside my body.
22:48Ronan.
22:49Look at me.
22:50His voice dropped right next to my ear.
22:52In that moment, the mark was complete.
22:54It didn't just establish the mate bond.
22:56My consciousness was pulled into a deeper space.
22:59That was the source of another kind of power.
23:01I saw the moon goddess.
23:02It wasn't a dream, nor was it an illusion.
23:06A magical power flowed between us.
23:08I finally understood.
23:09It was never about politics or ancient pacts.
23:12The mate bond between a warrior's bloodline and a priestess's.
23:16That was what the moon goddess had always intended.
23:18The scars on Ronan's hands began to fade.
23:20He said in surprise,
23:21These were caused by silver bullets.
23:23My alpha, from now on, you will never have to fear silver again.
23:27I said excitedly.
23:29He would become the strongest warrior on this continent.
23:31And I would become the only priestess born in a century.
23:37The day after sealing our mating bond,
23:40the alpha king learned of my situation and named me priestess.
23:43I entered the moon goddess temple to study.
23:46Every day, I flipped through those ancient parchments.
23:49One day, I came across an ancient book about the fake faded mate bond.
23:52The pages showed familiar runes, exactly the same as the tattoo on Isabella's wrist.
23:58This fake faded mate bond was witch's dark magic, unbreakable by a normal rejection ritual.
24:03Only a priestess could purify this evil power.
24:06Even without purification, dark magic wouldn't last long.
24:10Witch's dark magic never benefited werewolves.
24:13All werewolves who blindly trusted witches were doomed to perish.
24:16When the wolves fell into despair, the witches would force them to commit suicide,
24:20turning them into hollow servants of the dead.
24:24I thought of Isabella's death in my previous life.
24:27She crashed my wedding in mere madness and ended her life with a silver knife.
24:31Her eyes before death were so hollow, like those of a controlled puppet.
24:34Isabella was killed by her own greed.
24:36She had no idea what kind of price she had to pay.
24:39Yet Lucian thought I killed her and stabbed me 21 times.
24:42Isabella, her deal with the witch didn't just kill her.
24:45It killed me too.
24:47Should I fulfill my duty as a priestess and purify the evil power within her?
24:51Just as I hesitated, Ronin contacted me through the mind link.
24:54Selina, Lucian is back.
24:56He wants to see you.
25:00I saw Lucian.
25:01He stood at the entrance of the pack house, ragged and unshaven.
25:05His bloodshot eyes were deeply sunken.
25:07It had only been a month he had grown so thin that he was barely recognizable.
25:12Seren, please, save Isabella.
25:15Ronin stood beside me, silently watching his brother.
25:18Come inside first.
25:20Lucian stumbled inside and dropped to his knees.
25:26No pack will take us in.
25:27We live in an abandoned border cabin, hunting to survive.
25:30He looked up, his eyes read,
25:32Yesterday, Isabella slit her wrists with a knife.
25:35I saved her.
25:35When she woke up, she hugged me, crying, and said she couldn't control herself.
25:39A voice in her head kept telling her to die.
25:42He looked at me.
25:42Then she told me everything.
25:43Tears finally rolling down his face.
25:45Selina, Isabella knows she's wrong.
25:47I beg you.
25:47Only you, the priestess, can purify this evil power.
25:50Isabella lied to you.
25:52She doesn't love you.
25:53She only wanted to be the future Luna.
25:55And you're not mad?
25:56No, she loves me.
25:57Isabella only made a mistake.
25:59She swore that once the witch's hold is broken, we're going to start a family.
26:02I looked at Ronin.
26:03It's up to you.
26:08The next day, Lucien brought Isabella over.
26:10She acted extremely weak and helpless.
26:13The same look I hated.
26:14I didn't forgive them.
26:16But the pup was innocent.
26:17Isabella looked even more haggard than Lucien.
26:20I placed both hands on her head.
26:22The priestess' power surged inside me.
26:25Silver-white light flare from my hand.
26:29Isabella let out an agonized scream.
26:32Black smoke poured from her mouth and nose, twisted and faded.
26:36Her body collapsed.
26:37Lucien rushed up and caught her.
26:39A violent force slammed into my chest.
26:41This feeling was even stronger than my first encounter with Ronin.
26:45But I almost lost my mom.
26:47Ronin.
26:48He stood right beside me panting, looking as if he had just been through a war.
26:52The fake bond between Isabella and Ronin disappeared.
26:55The true fated mate bond finally appeared.
26:58I should have realized it sooner.
26:59If becoming mates awakened the power, we wouldn't have gone a hundred years without a priestess.
27:04Only true fated mates from our two past could receive the Moon Goddess's blessing.
27:10Ronin and I looked at each other in joyful surprise.
27:13Isabella!
27:14Lucien suddenly roared angrily.
27:15When did you know?
27:19The day I came of age.
27:23So you knew you were my mate?
27:25Married my brother?
27:26And had an affair with me?
27:29Yes.
27:29Isabella looked up with no guilt in her eyes.
27:32Why?
27:33You're just the Alpha's youngest son.
27:35You can't make me Luna.
27:36I hate the Moon Goddess.
27:38Why bind me to a useless son?
27:40Lucien could barely stand.
27:41Why have an affair with me?
27:43Because of the mate pull, I couldn't help it.
27:45Damn it, I almost had it.
27:46The whole pack thought I was his mate.
27:48I was going to be Luna.
27:49So damn close.
27:50Seven years, Isabella.
27:52Seven years I loved you before I even knew what love was.
27:55When I found out you were Ronin's mate, I nearly ended it all.
27:57Every day we were together, the guilt was eating me alive.
28:00And now you're telling me you were mine the whole time?
28:02What was all my pain for?
28:03Nothing.
28:04I don't care at all.
28:06Then what you promised me, after the dark magic is broken...
28:09Faith.
28:09But Isabella...
28:11Enough!
28:12Stop talking to her, Lucien.
28:14Where is your pride?
28:15She doesn't love you.
28:20After that day, I never saw Lucien and Isabella again.
28:23Ronin hated Isabella for hurting his brother.
28:26He wanted to kill her, but he was not a ruthless werewolf.
28:29In the end, he let her go, as for Lucien.
28:31Ronin tried to keep him in the past.
28:33Stay.
28:34You're my brother, and this will always be your home.
28:37Lucien shook his head.
28:39I have no right to stay.
28:41I will prove to you and our parents that I still have an alpha's pride.
28:48At the time, we all thought his proving his pride meant refusing to stay and leaving alone.
28:53I forgot that Lucien was nothing like Ronin.
28:55He was radical and cruel.
28:57After leaving, Isabella had an abortion and kept seducing alphas or future alphas of other Pax, but her reputation was
29:04ruined.
29:04And every werewolf feared her desperate, knowing the price.
29:07She returned to the witch and used dark magic.
29:10She thought if she forged another fated mate and became a Pax Luna, she'd have the right to demand I
29:16remove the dark magic side effects again.
29:18But she died.
29:23When the patrol reported back, I was pregnant, reading to my unborn pup.
29:28Her body was found in the border forest.
29:30Just like in my past life, she died by a silver knife.
29:33But this time, the killer wasn't Lucien.
29:36It was the witch.
29:37When Isabella begged the witch again, the witch took her promised Christ.
29:41Lucien arrived only to see her last breath.
29:44Witches never let blind trust end well.
29:46Isabella's greed ultimately brought her this result.
29:49I traced the word destiny in my book, feeling truly amazed.
29:53Although my rebirth changed many things, Isabella and Lucien's fates remained exactly the same as in my past life.
30:00I once thought the moon goddess gave me a chance to start over to help me get revenge.
30:05Now I finally understood she had already arranged everything.
30:09Isabella had disrupted the arrangement of destiny.
30:12My rebirth was to correct the mess.
30:14Up fate and get back my stolen fated mate.
30:16As for wolves playing with dark magic and ruthless killers, the moon goddess never planned on mercy.
