Forsaken and Barren, The Pure-Blood Luna is Back - HOT

Transcript

00:00:02I married Alpha Evan out of gratitude.

00:00:05For three years, I guarded his pack.

00:00:09Yet Evan never loved me.

00:00:11He marked my sister before the whole pack.

00:00:14Everyone thought my sister was the pureblood Luna.

00:00:17Evan blamed me for being infertile.

00:00:19You're a freak.

00:00:21Everyone mocked the golden-eyed freak,

00:00:23never knowing I was the true Luna heir.

00:00:26When the truth comes out,

00:00:27they will be shocked.

00:00:29Three years since I married Alpha Evan,

00:00:31Alpha Joseph's son.

00:00:33Alpha Joseph died shortly after I married Alpha Evan,

00:00:36and I kept my promise.

00:00:37As long as I remain within his territory,

00:00:39my Luna power automatically forms a protective barrier,

00:00:42warding off all invading rogue werewolves.

00:00:44I love Evan with all my heart

00:00:45and have given everything for him.

00:00:47Yet I have never managed to melt his cold heart.

00:00:50His heart has always belonged to my younger sister, Selina.

00:00:53Even after Selina abandoned him cruelly long ago,

00:00:56he still clings to memories of her.

00:00:57For three years,

00:00:58I wrapped the entire pack in my Luna barrier,

00:01:00blocking every wave of rogue attacks.

00:01:03I loved him silently,

00:01:05yielded to him every night,

00:01:06and waited patiently for his mark.

00:01:08One day,

00:01:09after our intimacy,

00:01:10I cling to a faint hope.

00:01:12Evan,

00:01:13I've stayed by your side for three years.

00:01:15Won't you give me the mate mark I've always longed for?

00:01:18Three years,

00:01:19and you still can't conceive an heir.

00:01:21You're nothing but a freak with golden eyes.

00:01:23How dare you even beg for my mark?

00:01:25A useless freak?

00:01:27Who do you think has been shielding your pack in silence all these years?

00:01:31Shield my pack.

00:01:33Don't make me laugh.

00:01:34Your wolf power isn't even half as strong as Selina's.

00:01:37A cursed golden-eyed outpiece like you could never hold a candle to her.

00:01:40Stop deluding yourself.

00:01:41Evan leaves without looking back.

00:01:43He saw me as nothing more than a worthless golden-eyed freak,

00:01:46unworthy of his mark,

00:01:47unworthy of a place by his side.

00:01:50He assumed I was weak and decile,

00:01:53too dependent on this pack to ever leave.

00:01:56But his cold indifference killed every last bit of affection in my heart.

00:02:01Luna,

00:02:02Alpha Evan has instructed you to get ready.

00:02:04You are to attend the marking banquet the main mansion tonight.

00:02:07Here is the banquet gown prepared for you.

00:02:09A glimmer of fragile hope stirred in my heart.

00:02:12Perhaps he had only spoken harshly earlier,

00:02:14intending to give me a surprise to finally acknowledge me and bestow his mark upon me.

00:02:18When I stepped into the main hall,

00:02:22champagne roses bloomed everywhere,

00:02:24and a huge banner reading Welcome Pack hung on the wall.

00:02:28Then I saw him,

00:02:29when I stepped into the main hall,

00:02:31my mate,

00:02:32my Alpha,

00:02:33holding someone else in his arm,

00:02:36my sister Selina.

00:02:38Let me make an announcement to everyone here.

00:02:41Today,

00:02:42I will place my exclusive mark upon my one and only mate,

00:02:46Selina.

00:02:48My heart didn't just break.

00:02:50It plunged to a frozen abyss,

00:02:52shattering into a million jagged spards of ice.

00:02:55If he is marking her,

00:02:56if he is claiming my sister in front of the world,

00:03:00then what am I?

00:03:05The second the words left his lips,

00:03:07I froze on the spot.

00:03:08The roses blooming all through the hall were the very romance I'd never dared to dream of.

00:03:13The grand Welcome Pack banner hanging overhead mocked every foolish hope I'd clung to only moments before.

00:03:19Evan led Selina forward to a stop.

00:03:22Her gown was cut in the exact same style as mine, yet hers was encrust with diamonds, far more lavish

00:03:28by comparison.

00:03:29Evan had humiliated me on purpose, dressing me in an identical design but of far poorer quality.

00:03:34Selina put on a soft, gentle front and spoke to me in fake sweetness.

00:03:38Dear sister, thank you for coming all this way to witness my marking ceremony.

00:03:43I kept my eyes locked on Evan, my voice shaking with held-back emotion.

00:03:47Why her? I've sacrificed so much for you.

00:03:51I stayed loyal by your side for three whole years.

00:03:55What good are all your sacrifices?

00:03:57Those eerie eyes of yours repel me, and you can't even bear airs for the pack.

00:04:02You were never half as good as Selina, not then, not now.

00:04:05Evan lifted his hand, brushing it lightly along Selina's neck,

00:04:09then bowed his head to leave his claiming mark on her slowly and tenderly.

00:04:13When the mark was fully set, he slowly raised his eyes,

00:04:17scanning the bustling crowd before his gaze locked firmly on mine.

00:04:20Tears and applause burst out across the hall at once,

00:04:23loud blessings ringing through the air,

00:04:25yet every sound sliced right through my heart like a sharp knife.

00:04:28One of the pack elders stepped up onto the dace.

00:04:30He swept his gaze over the crowd, his tone grave and agmatic.

00:04:33As many of you know, our pack has long kept to seek.

00:04:36Among us lives a she-wolf who carries the rare pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:04:40The question we all wonder is this.

00:04:42Who could she be?

00:04:46The pack members broke into quiet murmurs,

00:04:49all guessing who the she-wolf with hidden pure-blood Luna lineage might be.

00:04:52Amid the buzzing whispers, Charlotte, Evan's mother, and the pack's reigning Luna

00:04:56rose slowly from her grand ornate throne atop the dace,

00:04:59carrying herself with unbridled arrogance and authority.

00:05:02There's no need for pointless speculation.

00:05:04It can only be Selina.

00:05:05She boasts exceptional wolf talent and immense innate power.

00:05:10I have always known she is the fated one.

00:05:12I never thought Joseph would act recklessly and force Evan into a marriage with Isabella.

00:05:17A smug smile tugged at Selina's lips.

00:05:20She gave a slight, polite bow.

00:05:22Thank you for your kind praise and recognition, Luna Charlotte.

00:05:25I stepped forward before I could stop myself, holding her gaze straight.

00:05:32What gives you such certainty that it must be Selina?

00:05:35Charlotte let out a mocking laugh, as if I'd told the most absurd joke imaginable.

00:05:39She raked her eyes over me coldly, full of contempt.

00:05:41Could it possibly be you?

00:05:43A freak with unnatural golden eyes, good for nothing.

00:05:47Do you truly think you are worthy of possessing the noble pure-blood Luna lineage?

00:05:52Stop indulging in foolish fantasies.

00:05:55The second her words fell, the whole hall erupted in mocking laughter, thick with scorn and disdain.

00:06:01I turned to Evan, clinging to a faint hope that he would stand up for me,

00:06:05that he would grant me even the smallest bit of fairness.

00:06:08But Evan made no move to defend me at all.

00:06:11His expression turned icy instead, his voice laced with revulsion.

00:06:15You would do best to leave the ceremony of your own accord.

00:06:19Staying here will only bring you further shame and make a public fool of yourself.

00:06:25If you refuse to go, you may tend to the guests in the kitchen and keep to yourself quietly.

00:06:34Evan's cold, dismissive words cut straight through me, sharp and biting to the bone.

00:06:39Every eye in the room lingered only on Selina, bright with anticipation.

00:06:43It was as if everyone already took it for granted, that her so-called Luna divine power would lead Evan's

00:06:50pack to new prosperity.

00:06:51I'd borne endless humiliation for far too long, endured endless scorn and mockery from those around me.

00:06:57All the grief and resentment I'd kept locked inside finally spilled over.

00:07:01However, the true bearer of the pure-blood Luna Tinergy is not...

00:07:04Selina.

00:07:06It has always been me.

00:07:08The hall burst into mocking laughter once again.

00:07:11Charlotte doubled over, clutching her stomach, mocking me without restraint.

00:07:15Evan and Selina shared a disdainful smirk, dismissing my words as ridiculous ravings.

00:07:22Have you lost your senses?

00:07:25How dare a golden-eyed freak like you claim the pure-blood Luna lineage for yourself?

00:07:33Evan's brows drew tight, his tone sharp and unforgiving.

00:07:37Isabella, are you spouting nonsense out of jealousy now that I've marked Selina?

00:07:43Stop making a fool of yourself.

00:07:45No one in the room believed a word I said.

00:07:47Their jeals pricked my heart like a thousand needles.

00:07:50Staring at their hypocritical, ugly faces, I only felt cold amusement and chose not to explain myself any further.

00:07:57When I fell quiet, the crowd quickly lost interest in me, turning their full attention back to Selina.

00:08:02Evan slipped an arm around her waist, his fingers brushing lightly over the fresh mark on her neck.

00:08:07From this day forward, Selina's Luna divine power will shield our pack and keep us safe and at peace.

00:08:17When she saw I still hadn't moved an inch, the smug look on Selina's face faded a little, replaced by

00:08:23impatience and haughty condescension in her tone.

00:08:26Dear sister, if you know what's best for yourself, gather your things and leave for home at once.

00:08:32Father is waiting for you there.

00:08:34Don't linger here and ruin everyone's celebration.

00:08:36I stood perfectly still, my expression unchanging, merely staring back at her with quiet indifference.

00:08:42I am keeping my oath to Alpha Joseph by remaining here to watch over Evan's pack.

00:08:47I will not leave until my three-year vow is fulfilled.

00:08:51The smile on Selina's face frozen instantly, then twisted into a cold, calculating smirk.

00:08:55She stepped half a step nearer and lowered her voice, letting only me hear her words.

00:09:00A vow?

00:09:01Sister, you're far too naive.

00:09:04Evan's pack has never needed your protection, nor will it ever accept a golden-eyed freak like you.

00:09:09Today, I'll make sure you're driven out of this place for good.

00:09:11The moment she finished speaking, she lurched backwards suddenly, her legs giving way as she crumpled heavily to the floor.

00:09:17She pressed her hands to the corners of her eyes and raised her voice sharply, letting it ring out across

00:09:22the entire hall.

00:09:23Sister, I know you're jealous of me, but you have no right to push me like this.

00:09:28I hadn't shifted a single step from where I stood.

00:09:31The cheering in the hall died away in an instant.

00:09:34Every pair of eyes fixed on us both filled with disdain, accusation, and the cold disflatchment of onlookers ready to

00:09:39watch a spectacle unfold.

00:09:41Evan rushed over at once, lifting Selina gently into his arms and holding her close in a protective embrace.

00:09:46He shot me an icy glare, rage blazing in his eyes.

00:09:50Isabella, you've crossed every line!

00:09:52From this day on, I formally disavow you and cast you out of the pack.

00:09:56You are forbidden from ever stepping foot on our territory for the rest of your life!

00:10:03I stayed rooted to the spot as Evan glared at me like he could kill with his eyes, the air

00:10:08between us turning icy cold.

00:10:10I didn't hurt Selina.

00:10:12She fell on her own.

00:10:14Evan leaned down to strope Selina's back gently, then looked up again.

00:10:18His rage so intense it felt like it could burn me to the ground.

00:10:21Do you really think I'd believe the lies of a golden-eyed freak like you?

00:10:25Selina just got my mark, and she's still weak.

00:10:27How dare you touch her?

00:10:29Charlotte stepped up beside Evan, her eyes dripping with even more disdain, her voice sharp enough to cut.

00:10:35Isabella, you still won't admit what you did.

00:10:38Your excuses only make you more disgusting.

00:10:41A filthy creature like you belong locked up in the dungeon.

00:10:45Evan pulled Selina behind him, unleashing his overwhelming alpha aura in a heartbeat.

00:10:50I see pressure washing over the entire hall.

00:10:52He started the formal mate rejection right there in front of everyone, no trace of regret in his eyes, only

00:10:58pure coldness and contempt.

00:10:59I, Evan, reject you as my mate.

00:11:01I lifted my eyes to meet his gaze, my voice as calm as a frozen lake.

00:11:05I accept your rejection.

00:11:07The mate bond snapped suddenly, a searing, tearing pain shooting through every part of my body.

00:11:11The agony of the bond breaking hit first, and then tears slipped silently down my cheeks.

00:11:15The mate bond that had held us together for three years was breaking apart, fading little by little, each piece

00:11:20throbbing with a dull ache.

00:11:22But none of that pain came close to the cold emptiness in my chest.

00:11:25I curled my fingers tight, nails digging deep into my palms, forcing myself to bear the searing agony.

00:11:30You can't bear airs.

00:11:31The worst shame an alpha could ever face.

00:11:34Selima's nothing like you.

00:11:36She carries the pure-blood Luna Linerage, and only she's worthy of standing by my side,

00:11:41bearing my strongest pups, and leading the pack to greater glory.

00:11:48Selima leaned comfortably in Evan's arms, her eyes glinting with a taunting edge, as she stared at my disheveled state.

00:11:56Sister, why are you still standing here?

00:11:59If I were you, I'd hurry up and pack my things to leave.

00:12:03Don't linger here being a bother.

00:12:05Watching them throw jabs back and forth, their contempt plain as day,

00:12:08my mind wandered back to a memory from long ago of being rescued.

00:12:12Out on the frozen plains, caught in wind and snow,

00:12:15I lay wounded and gave me a second chance.

00:12:17It was Joseph he told me I carried an extremely rare pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:12:22Later, on his deathbed, he held my hand tight,

00:12:25his gaze earnest, as he begged me to protect Evan and his pack with everything I had.

00:12:30Joseph, look at what's become of us.

00:12:32For three years, I've guarded your pack faithfully,

00:12:36warding off rogue attacks this entire time.

00:12:38I've even quietly nourished the pack lands with my Luna energy,

00:12:41making them stronger and more thriving with each passing day.

00:12:44Yet now, your own son chases me away.

00:12:47I've seen his true colors clearly.

00:12:49He's never been worth my protection.

00:12:51In that moment, the last bit of gratitude I'd felt for Joseph vanished completely.

00:12:55I'd kept my promise, and my debt was paid in full.

00:12:58Evan, after these three years, I owe you nothing.

00:13:02And I owe your pack nothing either.

00:13:04I only hope you never come to regret this day.

00:13:07Evan let out a snuff of disbelief,

00:13:09looking away from me in disgust, his tone to get in dismissal.

00:13:13Regret?

00:13:14Cutting loose a burden like you is the smartest thing I've ever done.

00:13:17Now get out of my sight.

00:13:19Now.

00:13:19The mate bond shattered entirely,

00:13:21not a single thread of connection left between us.

00:13:24Just then, Evan's brows fronted sharply,

00:13:26his alpha aura tensing up in an instant.

00:13:28Many pack members looked up too,

00:13:29their expressions on edge.

00:13:31A faint yet thick rustling sound drifted from the edge of the manor,

00:13:34low and menacing.

00:13:35It was the sound of rogues closing in,

00:13:37hundreds of miles away and closing fast.

00:13:42Little did they know,

00:13:43with me reject and cast out,

00:13:45my all-encompassing Luna protection barrier had vanished,

00:13:48completely.

00:13:49The feral rogues I'd held back,

00:13:51kept at bay for three long years,

00:13:54were now charging straight for their borders in droves.

00:13:57And now that I'm gone,

00:13:59how will a weak alpha,

00:14:00paired with a fake mate who has no true Luna power at all,

00:14:04defend this pack against thousands of bloodthirsty rogues?

00:14:10Get to the pack perimeter now and check out that noise.

00:14:14Waste any time,

00:14:15and you'll pay with your lives.

00:14:17Yes, sir.

00:14:21You're scared, Evan.

00:14:22This is what happens when you reject me.

00:14:24The rogues are closing in.

00:14:25Spare me your empty threats and delusional garbage.

00:14:28I formerly banished you.

00:14:29Know your place and leave.

00:14:30My pack hasn't seen a rogue in years.

00:14:32Do you really think you can curse us?

00:14:34You're just spouting nonsense out of spite for being cast aside,

00:14:37trying to stir up trouble.

00:14:38Exactly.

00:14:39Isabella,

00:14:40you can't stand being thrown out,

00:14:41so you want to curse our pack?

00:14:43I see your true colors now.

00:14:44You're cruel to the core.

00:14:45If the rogues really come,

00:14:47you'll be the first one they grab.

00:14:49Let's see who's there to protect you then.

00:14:51Watching their hypocritical, colliding faces,

00:14:53I felt nothing but cold amusement.

00:14:55There was no point in wasting another word on them.

00:14:57I'd kept my promise,

00:14:58settled all scores.

00:14:59No reason to linger in this repulsive place any longer,

00:15:02putting up with their endless mockery and disdain.

00:15:05But the second I took a step to leave,

00:15:07Charlotte rushed over and cut me off.

00:15:09Hold it right there.

00:15:10You're not going anywhere.

00:15:13Isabella,

00:15:14Evan's formerly marked Selina,

00:15:16and the pack's true Luna is now in her rightful place.

00:15:18It's time you hand over that emblem.

00:15:20This sacred treasure,

00:15:21a symbol of the pack's glory,

00:15:22has no business resting on a freak like you.

00:15:25Exactly.

00:15:26Such a precious relic can't be tainted by someone unworthy.

00:15:29It belongs to me,

00:15:30the one who carries the pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:15:33Lady Luna Charlotte,

00:15:34I can feel the power in this emblem calling to me.

00:15:36Could it be,

00:15:37is the hidden pure-blood Luna lineage inside me finally waking up?

00:15:40Do you really believe that's what's happening, Selina?

00:15:43It has to be true.

00:15:45Only a noble, pure silver-eyed werewolf is worthy of wearing this emblem.

00:15:49Not like some outscat who's clung to a sacred relic for years,

00:15:53can't even bear an heir,

00:15:54and wastes its power for nothing.

00:16:18Only those with true Luna blood can bear this emblem.

00:16:20A fake like you will never be worthy of it.

00:16:27Isabella, did you do this?

00:16:29Did you use witchcraft to control the aelum and hurt me on purpose?

00:16:33You cruel bitch!

00:16:34You just can't stand to see me happy!

00:16:38Isabella, you've gone too far.

00:16:40Pushing her wasn't enough,

00:16:42so you stooped to dirty tricks with dark witchcraft to hurt her again?

00:16:45How low can you get?

00:16:47His voice held a desperate urgency I'd never heard from him before.

00:16:51His fingers brushed gently around the burning wound on Selina's chest,

00:16:55his touch impossibly tender and careful.

00:16:57The very tenderness I'd stayed by his side for three years,

00:17:01craving, yet never once getting.

00:17:02I'd never sink that low.

00:17:04I'd never degrade myself by using such vile garbage as witchcraft.

00:17:07I finally got it.

00:17:08It wasn't that he couldn't be tender.

00:17:10It was just that his tenderly was never meant for me.

00:17:13Why?

00:17:15You wore this emblem for three years and never had a single problem.

00:17:18Why does it hurt Selina the second she touches it?

00:17:21Could it be...

00:17:23Could you be the real pure-blood Luna after all?

00:17:30Everyone froze, their eyes turning straight to me,

00:17:32filled with shock, doubt, and utter disbelief.

00:17:35No, it can't be.

00:17:37Evan, she only grew used to the emblem's aura from wearing it for so long.

00:17:41She is never the true pure-blood Luna heir.

00:17:44She must have cast witchcraft on the emblem beforehand to hurt me on purpose.

00:17:48Ah!

00:17:50Evan, do not let your mind wander.

00:17:53It is all Isabella's doing.

00:17:55Out of jealousy towards Selina, she schemed in secret,

00:17:58making the emblem harm Selina to confuse everyone's judgment.

00:18:01This outcast has a vicious heart.

00:18:07Do you really think I'd believe some golden-eyed freak is the true Luna heir?

00:18:11Ridiculous.

00:18:12You're just a petty, useless outcast begging for a title you don't deserve.

00:18:15Now get out and don't dare tarnish them, Selina, with your presence.

00:18:18Stop loitering here and getting in the way.

00:18:19Leave the main packhouse at once and never show your face to us again.

00:18:22Listening to these absurdly absurd accusations,

00:18:25I finally let out a cold laugh.

00:18:27There was no warmth in it at all.

00:18:29Carry all the forbearance and heartbreak of these three years.

00:18:36I walked out of the main packhouse step by step.

00:18:39Three years of protection had only earned me betrayal, blame, and banishment.

00:18:43Even the last trace of hope in my heart was completely shattered.

00:18:47I pushed open the door to my home.

00:18:49Live room done was dent.

00:18:50And my father Marcus sat on the sofa with a cigarette between his fingers,

00:18:54undisguised mockery in his eyes.

00:18:56He lifted his gaze to me at the sound of footsteps.

00:18:59What happened?

00:19:00Driven back in disgrace after Evan broke your mate bond?

00:19:04I always knew a freak with strange eyes like you could never hold an alpha's heart,

00:19:07nor deserve the position of Luna.

00:19:09He took a good rag from his cigarette and exhaled the smoke slowly.

00:19:12Fortunately, I have two daughters.

00:19:14Selina is far more promising than you.

00:19:16Now that Evan has marked her,

00:19:18she will soon become the pack's Luna and bring me endless glory.

00:19:21Unlike you, born with those unlucky golden eyes,

00:19:24never able to succeed at anything since childhood.

00:19:26When I was young, Selina was always the only one seen on the pack training grounds.

00:19:30Father claimed silver eyes stood for pure lineage,

00:19:33and only Selina deserved formal training.

00:19:35I could only hide in the corner, watching them laugh and rejoice.

00:19:38I possessed the very power they valued, yet no one ever taught me how to wield it.

00:19:42With time, everyone came to see me as a powerless, useless nobody.

00:19:46Not even my father had ever truly looked at me with kindness.

00:19:49Marcus stood up and walked before me, looking down at me from above.

00:19:52There was no trace of fatherly affection in his eyes, only cold calculation.

00:19:57Now that Evan has cast you aside, you have no more use left.

00:20:00I raised you all these years.

00:20:02I cannot keep feeding you for nothing.

00:20:03I have sold you to a crude, low-rank werewolf from the black market.

00:20:07Though he is poor and unculturated,

00:20:09he is willing to borrow a large sump to buy you.

00:20:13Father, what are you saying?

00:20:15Sell me?

00:20:16I refuse.

00:20:18Refuse?

00:20:18What right do you have?

00:20:20You cannot even bear children.

00:20:22Not qualified enough to be a breeder.

00:20:24What good are you besides being sold off?

00:20:29Father, selling someone of my lineage will bring you retribution.

00:20:33Retribution?

00:20:34All I know is keeping you is a waste of food.

00:20:36Selling you brings real profit.

00:20:37Where is any retribution?

00:20:38I clenched my fists, my voice shaking with a screed and defiance as I met his gaze directly.

00:20:42Part of the money from selling you to buy Selena top-class gown.

00:20:45Dressed in fine luxury, Evan will love her even more.

00:20:47To buy a dress for Selena.

00:20:48To win her Evan's affection, my own father was willing to cast me straight into hell.

00:20:52He called out toward the door, and two tall pack members stepped inside.

00:20:56Seize her and lock her in a cage.

00:20:57Do not let her escape.

00:20:58Deliver her to the black market at dawn morrow.

00:21:00They grabbed my arms roughly, gripped so tight it felt as though they would crush my bones.

00:21:03I struggled in vain, and shock faded completely into icy despair in my heart.

00:21:07In the store room, a cold iron cage already waited.

00:21:10They shoved me inside and slammed the lock shut.

00:21:12The faint golden glow in my eyes grew brighter.

00:21:15I held the strength of a pure-blood Luna, yet I was treated as worthless cargo to be sold off.

00:21:20Never given the chance to unleash my power.

00:21:23Dawn had barely broken when footsteps echoed outside.

00:21:25I lifted my head to see Evan standing at the storage room entrance with Selena in his arms.

00:21:29Selena stepped forward to peer through the iron bars, her tone dripping with feigned sympathy and hypocrisy.

00:21:33Sister, I have no choice.

00:21:35It is father's decision.

00:21:37I tried to persuade him, but he would not listen.

00:21:39Just resign yourself to being a slave.

00:21:41I will serve well as the Pax Luna from now on, solidify my position, and live up to everyone's expectations.

00:21:47Marrying you in the first place was nothing but my father's momentary foolishness.

00:21:50Foolish enough to treasure an outcast like you.

00:21:52Looking back, breaking our mate bond in time was the wisest choice I ever made.

00:21:55With that, he turned to Selena beside him and stroked her hair gently.

00:21:59The very tenderness I had longed for countless times.

00:22:02Yet in this moment, watching the scene unfold, I felt nothing at all.

00:22:06No sorrow, no resentment, only utter emptiness and calm.

00:22:10My three years of devotion had long worn away under his endless cruelty and prejudice.

00:22:15I even found it laughable that I had once held any hope for such a cold, selfish man.

00:22:20Evan lowered his head to brush her hair fondly and was about to speak.

00:22:23The Pax member rushed inside in a panic, his voice trembling.

00:22:26Alpha Evan, disaster.

00:22:28Several Pax members have been found dead at the territory border, their bodies reeking of strong rogue scent.

00:22:33The tenderness on Evan's face vanished in an instant.

00:22:35His expression turned taut, filled with disbelief.

00:22:38What? Rogues? No rogues have ever come near our borders in three years.

00:22:42How could our people be killed all of a sudden?

00:22:44He frowned deeply, his gaze slowly falling on me as he looked me up and down.

00:22:48A flicker of doubt and disbelief crossed his eyes, his tone tentative.

00:22:52Could it be the reason no rogues drew near all these years was because of you?

00:22:58Was that the real reason my father Joseph insisted you stay by my side?

00:23:03The moment Selina heard this, she clung tightly to Evan's arm, eager to quiet his doubts and turn all blame

00:23:08onto me.

00:23:09Evan, do not entertain such foolish thoughts. How could it ever be her?

00:23:12She is nothing but a useless freak with strange eyes.

00:23:16What great power could she possibly possess?

00:23:19She must hold a grudge after you rejected her and father sold her away.

00:23:23She lured the rogues here on purpose to get revenge and destroy our pack.

00:23:26The doubt in his eyes faded completely, replaced by deeper loathing and rage.

00:23:31You are right. How could I ever believe an outcast holds such great power?

00:23:34It was you who lured the rogues here out of spite, getting our own people killed.

00:23:37His voice turned icy, and killing intact blazed in his eyes.

00:23:41I am heading to deal with the murders at the border now.

00:23:43I will settle this score with you when I return.

00:23:46Selling you to the black market is far too lenient.

00:23:49By rights, a vicious outwrit like you deserves hanging to comfort the souls of the fallen pack members.

00:23:54With that, he did not spare me another glance.

00:23:56Wrapping an arm around Selina's waist, he turned and left quickly, his footsteps fading away,

00:24:01leaving me alone in the cold iron cage.

00:24:03I curled up on the cage floor and stared toward the door.

00:24:06Evan, you will regret this.

00:24:08Before long, two pack members hurried over.

00:24:10They roughly unlocked the cage, grabbed my arms, and dragged me out of the storage room,

00:24:14shoving me into an old transport vehicle.

00:24:16After an endless ride, the vehicle finally came to a stop,

00:24:19and the door swung open, flooding the space with harsh sunlight.

00:24:22I was dragged out and thrown onto the ground.

00:24:24This place was the black market for low-rank werewolf trades,

00:24:27filled with females sold as breeders,

00:24:29outcasts auctioned off as slaves,

00:24:31every face etched with numbness and despair.

00:24:33I had no idea who would buy me next, nor what cruel fate awaited me.

00:24:38Two pack members pressed down hard on my shoulders,

00:24:41forcing me forward unsteadily.

00:24:43Soon they stopped and pushed me before a man.

00:24:45Sebastian, we have brought the girl to you.

00:24:47Marcus instructed us to hand her over personally.

00:24:49The man lifted his eyes slightly, saying nothing at first,

00:24:52only looking me over with a cold, emotionless expression.

00:24:55He wore rough, tattered clothes faded from wear with several tears here and there.

00:24:58Yet his frame was broad and powerful,

00:25:00his shoulders as solid as a wall.

00:25:01His features were sharp and stern,

00:25:03his jawline tight with shovel lining his jaw.

00:25:05A wild, unapproachable aura clung to him,

00:25:07giving him a down-broughten yet dominasing air.

00:25:09Rest assured, she is untouched.

00:25:12Only she failed to bear an heir for Alpha Evan.

00:25:15Sebastian, be quiet.

00:25:17His voice was deep and hoarsely with a rough edge,

00:25:20impatience clear in his tone.

00:25:22The pack member flinched in fright,

00:25:23bowed quickly and retreated.

00:25:25Only the two of us remained.

00:25:26He said nothing,

00:25:28simply looking down at me with an unnerving calm.

00:25:30No greed, no judgment,

00:25:31only unyielding dominance.

00:25:33Let go of me!

00:25:35Sebastian glanced down at my reddened wrist,

00:25:37loosening his grip slightly yet still refusing to release me.

00:25:40Save your words.

00:25:41Just come with me.

00:25:43Up close, I saw his eyes held unfathomable depth,

00:25:46hiding a quiet restraint and an innate nobility beneath his rough exterior.

00:25:50Even in ragged clothes covered in dust,

00:25:52his hidden sharp aroma could not be concealed.

00:25:54Somehow, the moment he touched my wrist,

00:25:57the werewolf's spiritual power inside me stirred restlessly.

00:26:01Heat spread through my veins to every corner of my body,

00:26:04making my breath quick up uncontrollably.

00:26:09The wolf inside me roared wildly,

00:26:11its cry echoing clearly and urgently in my heart.

00:26:14I pushed down the swirling confusion and flutter in my chest,

00:26:17and followed him silently forward,

00:26:19uncertain of what lay ahead.

00:26:21The car traveled for a long time

00:26:22before finally stopping outside a plain wooden cottage.

00:26:25It was not large,

00:26:26even simple in design,

00:26:27yet spotlessly clean.

00:26:28Even the weeds in the yard were neatly trimmed.

00:26:30A stark contrast to his rough,

00:26:31hawked around to my side and steadabled me gently.

00:26:33His touch was soft and restrained,

00:26:36nothing like his brusque manner earlier.

00:26:38I looked up at him,

00:26:39my confusion deepening.

00:26:41All that roughness and coldness

00:26:42had truly been nothing but a mask he wore at the black market.

00:26:45Beneath it lay unexpected gentleness,

00:26:47leaving me utterly unable to read him.

00:26:50I followed him inside.

00:26:51The furnishings were simple,

00:26:53only a wooden sofa,

00:26:54a dining table,

00:26:54and two closed doors.

00:26:56Yet everything was immaculate and orderly,

00:26:58the table polished bright enough to see one's reflection.

00:27:00It was clear the place was carefully tended.

00:27:02I stood frozen,

00:27:03thinking to myself,

00:27:04now that he has bought me from the black market,

00:27:07I am his property after all.

00:27:09I ought to learn to wait on him

00:27:10and tend to his needs.

00:27:13Let me take your coat for you.

00:27:15It is covered in dust.

00:27:17No need.

00:27:18The moment my fingertips brushed the hem of his coat,

00:27:21Sebastian stepped back intinctively,

00:27:23evading my touch.

00:27:24I pulled my hand back,

00:27:26a trace of disappointment settling in my heart,

00:27:29unable to understand why he treated me

00:27:31with such cold distance.

00:27:35I...

00:27:36I want to do something for you.

00:27:38I can't idle around all day.

00:27:40Sebastian glanced up at me,

00:27:42his tone cold and distant.

00:27:44There's nothing you need to do.

00:27:46Just stay by my side at night.

00:27:47I've already arranged a maid to look after you.

00:27:49My heart sank immediately.

00:27:51We were bound by blood,

00:27:52faded mates,

00:27:53yet he only saw me as someone to warm his bed

00:27:55and satisfy his desires.

00:27:56He treated me even worse than Evan ever did.

00:27:58Just then,

00:27:59a slim young girl stepped out of one of the rooms.

00:28:01She had sharp, unrigally eyes

00:28:03and her hair tied in a neat ponytail.

00:28:04The moment she laid eyes on me,

00:28:06her expression turned icy.

00:28:07She frowned openly,

00:28:08looking unimpressed,

00:28:09her voice edged with sarcasm.

00:28:11Brother,

00:28:11is this the girl you tried so hard to buy?

00:28:13She looks plain,

00:28:15skinny,

00:28:16and those golden eyes are a freak.

00:28:19What's so special about her

00:28:20that you'd go all out?

00:28:23Ella.

00:28:25Watch your tone.

00:28:26Ella pouted,

00:28:27shot me a sharp glare,

00:28:29said nothing else,

00:28:30then turned and slammed her door shut,

00:28:32clearly resentful.

00:28:35At that moment,

00:28:37maid Clara walked over with a glass of water.

00:28:39She stopped as soon as she saw me

00:28:41and gave a respectful slight bow.

00:28:44Miss,

00:28:44my name is Clara.

00:28:47I'll be your maid

00:28:48and take care of your daily needs.

00:28:51For the next week,

00:28:52Sebastian left early and returned late.

00:28:55Every night,

00:28:56he would be intimate with me,

00:28:58possessive,

00:28:58yet always keeping an emotional distance.

00:29:02Could it be that in his eyes,

00:29:03I would never be worth genuine care,

00:29:05never worthy of being his rightful mate?

00:29:10Lately,

00:29:11my werewolf powers had been acting strange.

00:29:13My monthly spiritual cycle was long overdue.

00:29:17Sebastian remained secretive,

00:29:19never letting anyone know where he went during the day.

00:29:23His nightly closeness felt deliberately detached.

00:29:27The huge wooden house

00:29:29always felt empty without him.

00:29:31Loneliness coiling around me like creeping vines.

00:29:34Restless,

00:29:35I turned on the PAC News channel.

00:29:37One news report made me race felt

00:29:39made me freeze on the spot.

00:29:41Reporter,

00:29:41Marcus of the Blood Moon TAC

00:29:43died mysteriously at home last week.

00:29:46No visible wounds were found on his body,

00:29:47and the cause of death remains unknown.

00:29:50Alpha Evan has ordered a full investigation,

00:29:52with no new leads released so far.

00:29:55I stared at Marcus' photo on screen,

00:29:57tightening my grip on the remote.

00:29:59I felt a twinge of conflict inside,

00:30:02but mostly quiet relief.

00:30:04Father,

00:30:05you brought this on yourself.

00:30:07You sold me off like merchandise-y

00:30:09without a second thought,

00:30:11ignored me completely,

00:30:12and treated Selena and me nothing alike.

00:30:14What happened to you now is your own fault.

00:30:17No one else is to blame.

00:30:19Right after I spoke,

00:30:21a wave of sudden nausea rushed up my throat.

00:30:23I clamped a hand over my mouth

00:30:25and rushed to the bathroom,

00:30:27throwing up,

00:30:28feeling weak all over.

00:30:29Clara happened to bring fruit by

00:30:31and hurried over to steady me.

00:30:33Miss,

00:30:34are you alright?

00:30:35You look unwell.

00:30:36I'll go fetch a healer right away.

00:30:38Please hold on.

00:30:39I nodded weakly.

00:30:41Soon, Clara returned with a werewolf physician.

00:30:44There's no need to worry.

00:30:46You're perfectly healthy physically.

00:30:48The nausea, vomiting,

00:30:49and unstable spiritual energy

00:30:50are all symptoms of pregnancy.

00:30:52I stared at the physician in shock.

00:30:55The woman Evan mocked as Behrend,

00:30:57the one my own father dismissed

00:30:58as unfit to bear offspring,

00:31:00was now carrying a child.

00:31:04My mind was in chaos.

00:31:05I tried reaching Sebastian

00:31:06through the werewolf mind link,

00:31:08hoping to tell him quietly I was pregnant.

00:31:10But no matter how I sent my thoughts,

00:31:13there was only silence from his side.

00:31:14No reply at all.

00:31:19I was growing anxious

00:31:20when a messenger from werewolf academy

00:31:22arrived at the door,

00:31:23clearly flustered.

00:31:28Is Mr. Sebastian home?

00:31:30Miss Ella got into a fight

00:31:31at the youth training camp

00:31:32and hurt another student.

00:31:33The school is asking for a family member

00:31:35to come sort this out immediately.

00:31:36Sebastian was still nowhere to be found,

00:31:38and the mind link still wouldn't connect.

00:31:41I was the one he'd bought at the black market.

00:31:43With no one else available,

00:31:44I had no choice but to go in his place

00:31:46and settle the dispute at the academy.

00:31:52Werewolf academy stood on neutral land,

00:31:54independent of any pack,

00:31:56where young werewolves from all clans

00:31:58came to train and study.

00:32:00I drove to the academy alone.

00:32:03In the distance,

00:32:04I saw Ella being lectured

00:32:05by a middle-aged woman

00:32:06whose back was turned to me.

00:32:09Ella and another boy

00:32:10were called into the dean's office.

00:32:13I walked over to speak to the woman.

00:32:14There's no need to embarrass a pup like this.

00:32:16We can talk this over calmly.

00:32:18When I got a clear look at her face,

00:32:20I realized it was Evan's aunt,

00:32:21Martha.

00:32:22Martha looked me up and down slowly.

00:32:24Her gaze full of contempt,

00:32:25her tone sharp and cutting.

00:32:27Well, look who decided to show up.

00:32:29Kicked out of your pack,

00:32:31sold to the black market by your own father,

00:32:32and now you live like a nobody.

00:32:36How dare you meddle in our family's business.

00:32:41I met her gaze without an ounce of timeliness.

00:32:44My life is none of your business.

00:32:46Even after being sold,

00:32:47I've re-stooped as low as you,

00:32:49lambed onto your pack power,

00:32:50bullying the weak

00:32:52and picking on a pup in public.

00:32:54Martha's face turned dark,

00:32:56firing back without remorse.

00:32:57Me bullying her?

00:33:00Ella started it.

00:33:01She attacked my son Jack first.

00:33:03Am I allowed to discipline her?

00:33:07I knew very well Jack had always been arrogant

00:33:09and dominant in Evan's territory,

00:33:11always picking on the weaker students

00:33:13and never stayed out of trouble.

00:33:16Ella is quiet by nature

00:33:17and never picks fights for no reason.

00:33:19She only lashed out because your son

00:33:21mocked and provoked her first.

00:33:23Left lost for words by my reply,

00:33:26Martha flew into a rage,

00:33:28dropping all pretend of politeness

00:33:29and raising her hand to slap me.

00:33:33I blocked her instinctively.

00:33:35The moment our hands touched,

00:33:37a powerful and invisible divine force

00:33:40verged out of me,

00:33:41pinning her rigidly face,

00:33:43unable to move a muscle.

00:33:45I was stunned myself,

00:33:48never expecting to suddenly awaken such power.

00:33:50Deep inside me,

00:33:52my wolf spirit spoke.

00:33:54Mistress,

00:33:55it is your pregnancy.

00:33:56The life growing inside you

00:33:58has fully awakened your dormant

00:33:59ancient lunar bloodline.

00:34:01Your divine power will only grow stronger

00:34:03from here on.

00:34:06I stood there completely dumbfounded.

00:34:11Trapped by my power,

00:34:13Martha stared at me in utter disbelief.

00:34:16What?

00:34:17You've never had formal werewolf training.

00:34:19A discarded outcast sold at the black market.

00:34:24How can...

00:34:26How can you wield such powerful divine magic?

00:34:31Just then,

00:34:32a cold, familiar voice came from behind me.

00:34:34I turned slowly to see Evan walking toward me.

00:34:37Selina clung tightly to his side,

00:34:39dressed in an elegant gown with perfect makeup,

00:34:42her eyes glinting with quiet amusement at the scene.

00:34:44Evan fixed me with a cold, stern look.

00:34:48Isabella?

00:34:49You've grown far too bold.

00:34:51How dare you lay hands on my aunt?

00:34:54You've lost all sense of manners and decency.

00:34:57Our mate bond was broken long ago.

00:35:00We have nothing left between us.

00:35:01Martha has always treated me with malice and scorn,

00:35:04and now she bullies a pup unjustly.

00:35:06I owe her no respect whatsoever.

00:35:08Evan scanned my plain, simple clothes from head to toe,

00:35:11his eyes filled with disdain.

00:35:13After being sold to the black market,

00:35:15you've become crude and reckless.

00:35:17Your manners are gone,

00:35:18you're dressed plain and shabby.

00:35:20Not a trace of your old poise remains.

00:35:23Beside him,

00:35:24Selina put on a soft, gentle act,

00:35:26pretending to mediate

00:35:27while secretly stirring up trouble.

00:35:29Evan, don't let this upset you.

00:35:31Sister has fallen so far now.

00:35:34Her judgment and grace are long gone.

00:35:36There's no need to argue with her.

00:35:38Evan frowned,

00:35:38stepping aside to avoid the crowd's gaze,

00:35:40then spoke to me in a low voice.

00:35:42Come with me,

00:35:42I need to talk to you privately.

00:35:45I followed him aside,

00:35:47growing impatient,

00:35:48wondering what he wanted now.

00:35:49Instead of answering right away,

00:35:51he leaned in and breathed in the scent of my hair.

00:35:53I've missed you a lot lately.

00:35:55His eyes lingered greedily on my neck

00:35:57as his hand drifted restlessly to my waist.

00:36:00I turned my head away to avoid him.

00:36:02Isabella,

00:36:03I miss being with you.

00:36:04Being with Selina,

00:36:06it's nothing compared to you.

00:36:07He almost sounded wronged,

00:36:09as if I owed him something.

00:36:10Then his tone turned cold

00:36:11as he mentioned the man who'd bought me,

00:36:12seething with jealousy

00:36:13at the thought of me belonging to a rough nobody.

00:36:15He stepped closer and lowered his voice.

00:36:17Come back and be my mistress.

00:36:18I'll give you mansions, jewels, silk gowns.

00:36:21Everything Selina has, you'll have.

00:36:23And more.

00:36:24I looked at his desperate, prideful act

00:36:26and suddenly laughed.

00:36:29Even if he had nothing at all,

00:36:32he's still better than you.

00:36:33That one sentence made his face burn red,

00:36:35as if I'd slapped him in public.

00:36:38I'd struck his fragile ego,

00:36:40thin as eggshell.

00:36:41Just then,

00:36:42Selina walked over from a distance,

00:36:43eyeing us suspiciously

00:36:45and asking what we were talking about.

00:36:47I shook my head and said nothing,

00:36:49but as several wereswolves walked past,

00:36:51I deliberately raised my voice.

00:36:52There's something everyone should know.

00:36:54Evan is infertile.

00:37:00Evan spun around,

00:37:01glaring at me sharply.

00:37:02His wolf pupil slitted with rage and embarrassment,

00:37:05his face draining of color.

00:37:06The passing werewolves stopped and watched,

00:37:08whispering and slurking,

00:37:10their mocking eyes burning into Evan.

00:37:12Selina froze on the spot,

00:37:14her smile fading instantly.

00:37:15She stared at Evan in shock and doubt,

00:37:18studying his flustered expression closely.

00:37:21I stayed calm and composed,

00:37:23gently placing one hand over my stomach,

00:37:26my tone steady and unyielding.

00:37:28I'm pregnant.

00:37:30You're delirious.

00:37:32There's no way you could be pregnant!

00:37:34I looked on indifferently,

00:37:35no longer bothering to explain myself.

00:37:37Believe it or not,

00:37:40I don't owe anyone an explanation.

00:37:42Martha stepped forward at once with a sneer.

00:37:44Pregnant or not,

00:37:45it's still just some low-class,

00:37:48werewolf's bastard child.

00:37:50Selina quickly agreed,

00:37:52her tone sharp and full of scorn.

00:37:55Exactly.

00:37:56Nothing to be proud of.

00:37:58She reeks of common werewolf aura.

00:38:02I leaned forward slightly,

00:38:04breathing in subtly when near the three of them,

00:38:06my voice thick with mockery and certainty.

00:38:08No matter my place now,

00:38:10I'm still better than the three of you.

00:38:11You all reek of rogue stench.

00:38:13Your pack is already overrun by rogue raids,

00:38:16barely holding itself together.

00:38:18Yet you still come to this neutral school

00:38:20to bully others and stir up trouble.

00:38:22My words hit Evan right where it hurt.

00:38:25I'd seen pack news long before now,

00:38:28reporting his territory plagued by constant rogue attacks,

00:38:32leaving him stressed and sleepless.

00:38:35Evan paled instantly,

00:38:37his anger mixing with panic

00:38:39as he snapped back harshly.

00:38:43That's a lie!

00:38:45Don't spread rumors!

00:38:47My pack is perfectly safe.

00:38:54And no rogue troubles at all.

00:38:58Martha and Selina also paled,

00:39:00avoiding eye contact nervously,

00:39:02subtly suppressing their era

00:39:03to hide the rogue scent clinging to them.

00:39:05The onlooking werewolves began murmuring,

00:39:07looking at the three with obvious suspicion.

00:39:08Just then,

00:39:09the Academy's Elder Dane

00:39:10hurried over with a stern expression,

00:39:12raising a hand to quiet the crowd.

00:39:14That's enough!

00:39:15This is neutral Academy ground.

00:39:16No quarreling or disruption of student training will be tolerated.

00:39:21Ella and Jack were led out by school staff.

00:39:23Jack had faint scratch marks on his face.

00:39:26Ella kept her head down,

00:39:28her stubborn spirit clear as ever.

00:39:30I turned to Ella,

00:39:31softening my tone as I asked gently,

00:39:33Ella,

00:39:34what really made you fight Jack?

00:39:38I looked at Ella,

00:39:39her eyes red yet still forcing herself to stay strong.

00:39:43Stubborn by nature,

00:39:44she rarely showed vulnerability.

00:39:46But now,

00:39:47she could not hide her hurt,

00:39:48biting her lip to hold back her tears.

00:39:51Ella lifted her head sharply,

00:39:52her voice trembling yet firm.

00:39:55He started it first.

00:39:58Jack mocked me in front of everyone,

00:40:00said I didn't belong in the training camp,

00:40:02and called Brother Sebastian a nobody with no real power.

00:40:06Jack looked utterly unconvinced and fired back at once.

00:40:12It's the truth.

00:40:14I didn't make any of it up.

00:40:16Ella grew emotional,

00:40:18raising her voice.

00:40:19He even tugged at my wolf fur

00:40:21and shoved me against the wall.

00:40:23He pointed right at my face

00:40:25and called Sister a golden-eyed freak

00:40:26who couldn't bear pups,

00:40:27said you deserve being sold away.

00:40:31I held back again and again,

00:40:33but he just kept pushing me.

00:40:35I had no choice but to fight back.

00:40:37I stood frozen,

00:40:39my heart aching with emotion.

00:40:40I'd always thought I was nothing more

00:40:41than someone Sebastian had bought,

00:40:43that there was always a distance between Ella and me,

00:40:45that she'd kept her cold reserve towards me.

00:40:47I never imagined she would stand up for me so fiercely

00:40:49when others slandered and looked down on me.

00:40:51My gaze fell on her arms,

00:40:53marked with faint scratch wounds.

00:40:56A few tufts of wolf fur had been torn from her neck,

00:40:59and there was a faint bruise at the corner of her mouth.

00:41:03She looked worn and utterly heartbreaking.

00:41:08In that moment,

00:41:09memories of being wronged, mocked,

00:41:11and bullied relentlessly crashed over me like a tide.

00:41:13Shunned as a freak by Evans Pack,

00:41:15humiliated publicly by Selina,

00:41:16sold off like merchandise by my own father,

00:41:18branded barren by everyone around me,

00:41:20all the suppressed grief and resentment welled up inside,

00:41:22flaring into a fierce urge to protect Ella.

00:41:24I reached out and gently stroked her hair,

00:41:26calming the storm of emotion in my chest.

00:41:29Then turned to face Jack,

00:41:31Martha,

00:41:31and the rest of them.

00:41:34Jack insulted others openly

00:41:36and resorted to violence first.

00:41:39Martha turns a blind eye to her son's wrongnings

00:41:41and enables his cruelty.

00:41:43Your own pack is overrun by rogues

00:41:46and barely holding on,

00:41:48yet you still find time to bully a pup

00:41:50and insult others.

00:41:52Isn't that both ridiculous and pitiful?

00:41:55The moment my words landed,

00:41:56Martha flew into a rage.

00:41:58She stepped forward abruptly,

00:41:59japping a finger straight at me

00:42:00and snapping sharply.

00:42:01Who do you think you are?

00:42:02How dare you judge us?

00:42:04My birth clan is the blood moon pack.

00:42:06My in-law's the silver flang pack.

00:42:08Say another word,

00:42:09and I'll have these two great packs

00:42:11pressure this academy.

00:42:13Not only will Ella be severely punished,

00:42:16I'll make you apologize to us,

00:42:18mother and son,

00:42:19in front of everyone.

00:42:22The elder in charge of the training camp

00:42:24hurried over,

00:42:24followed by several guards,

00:42:26his area commanding and un-

00:42:27Silence, all of you!

00:42:28Jack provoked, insulted,

00:42:29and attacked first.

00:42:30He must apologize sincerely

00:42:31to Ella and Isabella.

00:42:32Martha will no longer be a ladle

00:42:33in student affairs

00:42:34for turning a blind eye

00:42:35to right and wrong

00:42:35and abusing her status.

00:42:36Anyone else who stirs up trouble

00:42:37will be expelled from the academy permanently,

00:42:39never to be admitted again.

00:42:41He then turned to me,

00:42:42his tone softening noticeably.

00:42:44Lyman Queen, rest assured,

00:42:46this is neutral ground.

00:42:48No one shall harm you or Ella.

00:42:49You need not fear for the one

00:42:51watching over you from the shadows.

00:42:53He will always keep you safe.

00:42:58I stared at him in utter disbelief.

00:43:01Elder, you must have mistaken me

00:43:03for someone else.

00:43:04I'm no Lyman Queen.

00:43:06I'm just just an ordinary werewolf.

00:43:08I could never deserve such a title.

00:43:10The elder shook his head faintly,

00:43:12his eyes deep and cryptic,

00:43:14gesturing for me not to press further.

00:43:15This is not the time to speak of it.

00:43:17The matter runs far deeper than you know.

00:43:19When the time comes,

00:43:20all will be revealed.

00:43:23For now, let us resolve

00:43:24what lies before us.

00:43:30At that,

00:43:31Evan, Martha, and Selina

00:43:32burst out in mocking laughter.

00:43:34Martha even clutched her stomach dramatically,

00:43:37sneering openly

00:43:37as she pointed at me.

00:43:39Elder,

00:43:40have you lost your wits?

00:43:42Or has this freak bewitched you somehow?

00:43:44Her?

00:43:45A lowly werewolf

00:43:46sold at the black market

00:43:47who can't even protect herself?

00:43:49The legendary Lycan Queen?

00:43:58What a ridiculous joke!

00:44:01Selina leaned close to Evan,

00:44:02her eyes filled with contempt.

00:44:04She raised her voice deliberately,

00:44:06making sure every watching werewolf

00:44:07could hear clearly.

00:44:09Exactly, Elder.

00:44:10The Lycan Queen is a noble existence,

00:44:12who rules over all wolf clans.

00:44:13She's nothing but an outcast

00:44:14abandoned by her pack,

00:44:16mocked for being unable to bear young.

00:44:20How can you place such an exalt title

00:44:22on someone like her?

00:44:23The Elder's expression darkened at once,

00:44:26his imposing aura sweeping over the square.

00:44:28His eyes turned cold and sharp

00:44:30as he thundered,

00:44:31silencing every onlooker instantly.

00:44:37Hold your tongues!

00:44:38This neutral training camp

00:44:40is no place for your reckless arrogance.

00:44:42Speak ill of Isabella one more time,

00:44:44mock her again,

00:44:44and I will have all of you detained.

00:44:47Strip part of your wolf power,

00:44:48expels you from the camp,

00:44:49and bar you from ever returning.

00:44:51Martha tried to argue back,

00:44:53but froze under the Elder's icy stare.

00:44:56The words died in her throat.

00:44:59Furious as she was,

00:45:01she dared not act out any further.

00:45:03The Elder turned to Jack,

00:45:04who still looked stubbornly defiant.

00:45:07Jack, apologize to Ella and Isabelle at once.

00:45:10Speak with genuine remorse

00:45:11and admit your faults.

00:45:12Refuse,

00:45:13and you will be expelled today.

00:45:14I will notify your pack,

00:45:16and you will never be allowed entry

00:45:17into any werewolf training camp again.

00:45:19Jack clenched his fists tightly,

00:45:21his face burninged with stubbornness and resentment.

00:45:24He glared fiercely at Ella,

00:45:26yet trembled under the Elder's overwhelming pressure,

00:45:29and finally lowered his head.

00:45:33I-I'm sorry.

00:45:38I shouldn't have called you a half-blood stray,

00:45:41insulted your brother,

00:45:43tugged your wolf fur,

00:45:44or pushed you against the wall.

00:45:46I apologize.

00:45:49Ella pressed her lips together and said nothing,

00:45:51only nodded faintly,

00:45:53the hurt in her eyes easing a little.

00:45:57Let's go.

00:45:59I'll settle this score with you two,

00:46:01sooner or later.

00:46:02Martha shook with rage.

00:46:03She shot a venomous glare at me and Ella,

00:46:05then grabbed Jack's arm roughly,

00:46:07her tone seeking with malice.

00:46:08Evan looked at me with complicated eyes,

00:46:10resentment,

00:46:11confusion,

00:46:11and a flicker of hidden unease.

00:46:13He shot the Elder a long wary glance,

00:46:14yet dared not say another word.

00:46:15He turned and left the camp square with Martha and Selina,

00:46:18looking both furious and defeated.

00:46:19Before leaving,

00:46:20Selina glanced back at me with a sharp,

00:46:22hateful stare.

00:46:24I watched them leave,

00:46:26then turned back to the Elder,

00:46:28still utterly confused,

00:46:30my tone urgent.

00:46:32Elder,

00:46:33why do you keep calling me Lycan Queen?

00:46:35I'm not the person you think I am.

00:46:37My mate is only an ordinary werewolf.

00:46:40How could I ever bear such a title?

00:46:42The Elder shook his head slowly,

00:46:44his gaze deep with untold secrets.

00:46:46He motioned for me to calm myself,

00:46:48his tone cryptic yet laced with quiet warmth.

00:46:50This matter is of great consequence

00:46:52and touches countless threads of fate.

00:46:53I cannot reveal a single detail yet.

00:46:56Only remember this,

00:46:58someone has been protecting you in the shadows.

00:47:00No matter what dangers lie ahead,

00:47:02you have nothing to fear.

00:47:04I turned to Ella beside me,

00:47:05wondering if she knew anything of this.

00:47:08Ella, does any of this make sense to you?

00:47:10Why would the Elder call me that?

00:47:12Ella smiled innocently and shook her head,

00:47:15then skipped off into the distance,

00:47:16her voice light and flaky.

00:47:17No idea, sister.

00:47:18You'll have to figure it out yourself!

00:47:20Back home, I pushed open the door

00:47:22to find Sebastian sitting quietly

00:47:23on the living room sofa,

00:47:24holding a Wolf Clan medicinal herb

00:47:26between his fingers, waiting for us.

00:47:27You're back.

00:47:29Did anything else happen at the camp?

00:47:31Has Ella been wronged again?

00:47:33Ella shook her head and walked over

00:47:34to sit beside him,

00:47:35leaning softly against his arm.

00:47:39I'm fine, Brother Sebastian.

00:47:41The Elder stood up for us,

00:47:42and Jack apologized.

00:47:44I stepped in front of Sebastian,

00:47:46my expression earnest and searching,

00:47:49unable to hold back the questions

00:47:50weighing on my mind any longer.

00:47:54Sebastian, I need to ask you something.

00:47:56Today at the training camp,

00:47:57the Elder called me like on Queen

00:47:59and said someone has been guarding me secretly.

00:48:01Do you know what this is all about?

00:48:02And you?

00:48:03What is your true identity?

00:48:04You've always hidden the truth from me on purpose.

00:48:07Sebastian's fingers stilled.

00:48:08He lifted his eyes to meet mine,

00:48:10his gaze flickering as he deliberately avoided

00:48:11my direct stare.

00:48:14Bella, some things aren't meant to be told yet.

00:48:17I can promise you this.

00:48:19I will never harm you or Ellie,

00:48:21and I will always protect you.

00:48:23All you need to do is trust me.

00:48:25I watched him evade my gaze,

00:48:27my confusion deepening by the second.

00:48:29A quiet hurt settled in my heart.

00:48:31The Elder wouldn't speak,

00:48:32and Sebastian chose to hide the truth too.

00:48:35It felt as if everyone held secrets about me,

00:48:38leaving me in the dark like a fool.

00:48:39I fell silent for a moment,

00:48:41my hand unconsciously drifting to my stomach.

00:48:43Where a tiny life was growing,

00:48:45the only thing I clung to now.

00:48:47I lifted my eyes to him,

00:48:49my expression solemn.

00:48:51Sebastian, I'm pregnant.

00:48:53Sebastian froze visibly.

00:48:55He set down the herb slowly,

00:48:57a faint soft smile crossing his face,

00:48:59the corners of his mouth lifting.

00:49:02He was clearly happy.

00:49:04Yet his joy was far too restrained,

00:49:06too calm.

00:49:08There was none of the wild delight I'd hoped for.

00:49:10No flurry of worried questions,

00:49:12no tender touch.

00:49:14The glimmer of joy in his eyes faded almost at once,

00:49:17settling back into his usual quiet reserve.

00:49:21My heart sank heavily in that instant.

00:49:24Disappointment and uneases washed over me like a cold tide,

00:49:28swallowing me whole.

00:49:29I couldn't help but wonder,

00:49:31did he not want this pup at all?

00:49:33Was I and the life inside me,

00:49:35nothing more than a burden to him?

00:49:37I thought of being sold by my own father,

00:49:39abandoned by Evan.

00:49:40Of all the uncertainty I'd endured,

00:49:43my unease grew stronger

00:49:44until my fingers began to tremble faintly.

00:49:46I dared not look Sebastian in the eye,

00:49:49afraid of catching even a trace of distaste

00:49:51or impatience in his expression.

00:49:52I pushed down the ache and hurt in my chest,

00:49:55forcing a faint calm smile and nodding.

00:49:57I understand.

00:49:59You don't have to feel pressured.

00:50:01Night fell and silence settled over everything.

00:50:03Moonlight spilled through the window onto the floor.

00:50:05I sat alone on the edge of the bed,

00:50:07gently resting a hand over my stomach.

00:50:09The weight of disappointment and unease grew heavier.

00:50:12More and more,

00:50:13I felt as though both I and my pup

00:50:15were nothing but a burden to Sebastian.

00:50:17Staying here would only be an annoyance,

00:50:19only wear him down further.

00:50:21Better to leave now.

00:50:22Go somewhere no one knows me.

00:50:24Give birth quietly.

00:50:26Raise my pup alone.

00:50:28And never be a chain holding anyone back again.

00:50:31With my mind made up,

00:50:33I rose quietly,

00:50:34moving without a sound.

00:50:35I opened my luggage and began packing silently.

00:50:37A few simple clothes,

00:50:39the wolf tooth pendant Sebastian had given me Lungo to ward off danger.

00:50:42Some dried rations I'd saved.

00:50:44I folded everything carefully into a small bundle.

00:50:47Once packed,

00:50:47I walked to Ella's bedside

00:50:49and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead,

00:50:51my heart heavy with sorrow yet firm with resolve.

00:50:53Ella, I'm sorry.

00:50:54Sister can't stay with you anymore.

00:50:56Stay safe with brother Sebastian and getting hurt the way I did.

00:50:59I wiped the tears from my eyes,

00:51:01slung the bundle over my shoulder,

00:51:02and closed the door softly.

00:51:04Under the cover of deep night,

00:51:06I stepped slowly out of Sebastian's home.

00:51:12I walked into the dark forest with my bundle.

00:51:14I'd barely taken a few steps

00:51:15when hurried footsteps sounded behind me.

00:51:17A shadow darted forward in pursuit,

00:51:19and his familiar scent wrapped around me in an instant.

00:51:22It was Sebastian.

00:51:23Bella, where are you going?

00:51:25It's the middle of the night,

00:51:27carrying a bundle.

00:51:28Are you leaving me?

00:51:29I pulled my hand away sharply,

00:51:31my eyes red-brimmed,

00:51:33tone stubborn and hurt,

00:51:35forcing myself to sound cold.

00:51:38Where I go is none of your business.

00:51:41Sebastian,

00:51:43don't trouble yourself over me,

00:51:45and don't feel ob-gayed.

00:51:47How can it not be my business?

00:51:49Bella, you are my mate.

00:51:52The pup you carry is my flesh and blood.

00:51:55Wherever you go,

00:51:56I go.

00:51:57How can you say this has nothing to do with me?

00:52:00His words shattered every wall I've put up.

00:52:02Long suppressed grief and hurt burst free.

00:52:04I pound against his chest,

00:52:06struggling to break away.

00:52:07Mate,

00:52:08do you still remember I'm your mate?

00:52:10Sebastian, look at yourself.

00:52:12I told you I was pregnant,

00:52:13and this is how you react.

00:52:15No joy,

00:52:15no concern,

00:52:16not a single sincere word of care.

00:52:18You don't care about this pup at all,

00:52:20and you've never truly cared about me.

00:52:22I stopped struggling

00:52:22and stared straight into his eyes,

00:52:24tears streaming down my cheeks.

00:52:26My tone laced with self-mockery and despair,

00:52:29every word cutting deep into us both.

00:52:31You were just a buyer at the black market,

00:52:33and I was nothing more than a slave you purchased.

00:52:36Your kindness,

00:52:37your gentleness,

00:52:38only fleeting interest,

00:52:40only because I still have use to you.

00:52:42Isn't that the truth?

00:52:44You've never truly cared about me.

00:52:46Sebastian stuffened completely,

00:52:48holding me tighter.

00:52:50He gripped my shoulders,

00:52:51forcing me to meet his glaze.

00:52:53Bella,

00:52:54don't say that.

00:52:55I have never seen you as a slave,

00:52:57not for a single moment.

00:52:58I bought you for a reason.

00:53:02The forest seemed to darken all at once.

00:53:05A blood-red moon rose slowly over the horizon,

00:53:08its crimson glow spilling across the entire woods.

00:53:11Sebastian lifted his head

00:53:13and stared quietly at the blood moon,

00:53:15his expression solemn and grave.

00:53:17The wolf clan has an ancient fate law.

00:53:19Only when the blood moon rises

00:53:21will the royal seal be fully broken.

00:53:24No more need for pretense,

00:53:25no more hiding.

00:53:27The time has finally come.

00:53:29I stared at the eerie crimson moon,

00:53:31my heart tightening inexplicably,

00:53:34lost and stunned,

00:53:35waiting for him to go on.

00:53:38I was never an ordinary low-rank werewolf.

00:53:40I am the rightful heir to the Lycan throne.

00:53:44My elder brother plotted against me in secret

00:53:47to seize power.

00:53:48To survive,

00:53:49I had to hide my royal identity,

00:53:51suppress my true strength,

00:53:53lie low and bide my time,

00:53:55evading my enemies while gathering power

00:53:57to take back what was mine.

00:53:58His tone softened,

00:54:00laced with gentle remembrance.

00:54:02I've known you for a very long time.

00:54:04Years ago,

00:54:04on the frozen ice plains,

00:54:06I saw you ignoring the bitter cold

00:54:07to feed stray wolfhubs gently.

00:54:09In that moment,

00:54:10I was already drawn to you.

00:54:11I've watched over you silently ever since,

00:54:13following every twist of your fate.

00:54:14His voice turned tender with sorrow

00:54:16as he spoke of the past.

00:54:18When I learned Evan had cast you aside cruelly

00:54:20and your own father sold you off

00:54:22like nothing more than a breeder,

00:54:24I acted at once

00:54:25and bought you from Marcus.

00:54:26This was never a cold transaction.

00:54:29It was protection I planned long ago,

00:54:31a chance to save you.

00:54:35Sebastian let out a quiet sigh,

00:54:37his eyes filled with lingering helplessness

00:54:38and restraint.

00:54:39I kept my distance

00:54:40and acted cold towards you before

00:54:41because I'd long sensed

00:54:42you are a born pureblood Luna.

00:54:44Back then I was trapped in royal turmoil,

00:54:46surrounded by enemies,

00:54:46barely able to protect myself.

00:54:48I feared dragging you into danger,

00:54:50and I refused to let someone

00:54:51as noble and pure as you

00:54:52stay hidden beside a fallen,

00:54:54disguised me.

00:54:54He lifted his gaze to the blood moon

00:54:56hanging high in the sky,

00:54:58his aura steady and regal,

00:55:00his expression calm with certainty.

00:55:03Now the blood moon has risen,

00:55:04fate has fallen into place.

00:55:05I have crushed my brother's schemes,

00:55:07quelled the internal turtle

00:55:07and reclaimed my rightful throne at last.

00:55:09I have officially ascended

00:55:10as the new Lycan king.

00:55:11He reached out

00:55:12and took my hand gently,

00:55:13his palm warm and firm,

00:55:15his gaze locked steadily on mine,

00:55:18sincere and earnest.

00:55:19Isabella,

00:55:19of course I care about our child.

00:55:21I have cared all along.

00:55:22I've waited far too long

00:55:23for this day.

00:55:23Once I could only guard you

00:55:24from the shadows.

00:55:25Now I hold the throne

00:55:26and I have the power to shield you

00:55:27and our pup for a lifetime in peace.

00:55:28I wish to mark you properly,

00:55:29claim you as my one and only mate

00:55:31and crown you queen of the Lycan clan.

00:55:32From this day forward,

00:55:33no one will ever dare hurt you again.

00:55:34I stared at the raw,

00:55:35unhovered affection and resolve in his eyes.

00:55:37All the grief, unease and doubt

00:55:38I'd carried these days

00:55:39melted away in an instant.

00:55:40Emotion welled up inside me

00:55:42and warm tears slipped slowly down my cheeks.

00:55:44I looked at him and nodded softly,

00:55:46knowing he meant to mark me for life.

00:55:49Night hung thick and dark.

00:55:51A blood red moon hung high over the sky,

00:55:53bathing the entire forest

00:55:54in a faint crimson glow.

00:55:55Isabella waited eagerly

00:55:56for Sebastian to claim her mark,

00:55:58her eyes sparkling

00:55:59with quiet excitement and anticipation.

00:56:00Are you ready?

00:56:01This mark will bind you to me completely

00:56:03as my mate

00:56:03and awaken the full strength

00:56:04of your pureblood luna lineage.

00:56:06Yes.

00:56:07Sebastian rested his hands gently

00:56:09on Isabella's shoulders

00:56:10and pressed his warm lips to hers

00:56:12to leave his mark.

00:56:13There was a faint twinge of pain,

00:56:14yet Isabella did not flinch for a moment.

00:56:17Her gaze filled only with longing.

00:56:19The instant the mark settled

00:56:20Sebastian's royal time

00:56:21with Isabella's pureblood luna energy,

00:56:23golden light swirled around them both,

00:56:25her golden irises blazing brighter than ever.

00:56:27As her ancient pureblood era

00:56:29fully awakened within her.

00:56:32From this day on,

00:56:33I will never let anyone hurt you.

00:56:35Never let you shed another tear.

00:56:36This mark is my vow to you.

00:56:39I trust you.

00:56:42Hidden in the shadows,

00:56:43Selina watched every moment unfold.

00:56:45She stared at their joined hands,

00:56:47consumed by bitter resentment.

00:56:49A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

00:56:51She quietly pulled out her communicator

00:56:53and reached out to Sebastian's elder brother, William.

00:56:55Why should they have everything?

00:56:56I will take back what belongs to me

00:56:58and make them pay for standing in my way.

00:57:00Sebastian looked down at Isabella beside him,

00:57:02brushing the soft smile from her lips

00:57:04with tender reverence.

00:57:06He knew he no longer needed to hide his identity.

00:57:08At last, he could protect her openly,

00:57:10without fear or pretend.

00:57:12I will protect you,

00:57:13protect our child,

00:57:14and cherish every part of who you are.

00:57:15No one will ever make you suffer again.

00:57:20Sebastian began preparing

00:57:21for the Lycan royal coronation ceremony.

00:57:23On that day,

00:57:24he would publicly reveal his true identity

00:57:25as the rightful royal heir,

00:57:27be officially crowned Lycan king,

00:57:28and formally proclaim Isabella

00:57:30the legitimate Lycan queen,

00:57:31honored and revered by all werewolf clan.

00:57:34Meanwhile,

00:57:35life grew increasingly bleak

00:57:36for Evan's blood moon pack.

00:57:38Stripped of Isabella's Luna protection barrier,

00:57:40rogue packs began raiding

00:57:41their borders relentlessly,

00:57:42casualties mounted,

00:57:43their territory fell into ruin,

00:57:45and the entire clan

00:57:46twatered on the brink of collapse.

00:57:47Evan,

00:57:48if we carry on like this,

00:57:49the rogues will swallow our pack entirely.

00:57:53The new Lycan king's coronation is soon,

00:57:55and word spreads his power is unfathomable.

00:57:59If we can gain his favor,

00:58:01we'll never fear the rogues again.

00:58:02We weren't sent an invitation.

00:58:03This king has always lived in secrecy,

00:58:05cold and unpredictable.

00:58:06If we sneak in disguise to get caught,

00:58:08we'll only humiliate ourselves.

00:58:09Do we still care about pride?

00:58:10Saving our pack is all that matters.

00:58:12We'll dress common minor clan guests

00:58:13and blend into the crowd.

00:58:14Once we reach the royal dask,

00:58:16we'll find a chance to enratiate ourselves.

00:58:18Evan stared at his ravaged territory

00:58:19and his fading clan members.

00:58:21Overcome by desperation and ambition,

00:58:23he finally agreed to sneak into the coronation beside Martha,

00:58:25set on curing favor with the new Lycan king

00:58:27to secure his pack's survival.

00:58:29Upon hearing news of the ceremony,

00:58:31Selina chose not to go with Evan and Martha.

00:58:33She waited alone for William,

00:58:35Sebastian's elder brother,

00:58:37whom she had secretly allied with.

00:58:39Sebastian thinks he can claim the throne

00:58:41and reign in peace.

00:58:44William has already promised me

00:58:46he will seize power at the coronation.

00:58:48Once William overtows Sebastian

00:58:50and takes the crown,

00:58:52I will be his one and only queen,

00:58:55the true Lycan queen.

00:58:57I'll never again live in Isabella's shadow.

00:59:00She drowned herself in ambitious fantasies,

00:59:03waiting foolishly for William to appear.

00:59:05Completely unaware,

00:59:06she was nothing more than a pawn

00:59:07he had long been using.

00:59:10The Lycan holy mountain blazed

00:59:12with coronation splendor.

00:59:14Golden lights filled over the keeps.

00:59:16Royal guards standing tall

00:59:17with imposing presence.

00:59:18Powerful werewolf leaders from every clan

00:59:20filed in to take their seats.

00:59:22The entire sacred grounds

00:59:23steeped in solemn grandeur.

00:59:24Evan and Martha dressed in plain outsider robes,

00:59:27blending silently into the guest crowd

00:59:28and slipping into the ceremony grounds.

00:59:30They gazed up at the luxurious royal days,

00:59:32watching the dignified clan leaders around them,

00:59:34envy clear in their eyes.

00:59:35Both resolved to seize any chance

00:59:37to win the new Lion King's favor

00:59:38and save their family.

00:59:39Their gaze drifted casually across the gathering,

00:59:42and they froze instantly,

00:59:43spotting Isabella and Sebastian

00:59:44standing side by side.

00:59:46Disdain and contempt

00:59:47settled over their faces at once.

00:59:49Look!

00:59:50Is that Isabella?

00:59:51How dare she intrude

00:59:53on a royal coronation!

00:59:54They exchanged a glance,

00:59:56both looking down on the pair.

00:59:57Evan's tone turned sharp

00:59:58with quiet mockery.

01:00:00And beside her,

01:00:01that's the rough, low-class werewolf

01:00:03who bought her at the black market.

01:00:05A nobody with no standing.

01:00:07How dare he set foot

01:00:08on sacred lichen royal grounds!

01:00:10Echoing his squirm,

01:00:11her disgust deepening.

01:00:13They have no sense of their place.

01:00:14Both are outcasts unfit for high society,

01:00:17only here to leech off prestige

01:00:18and cling to power.

01:00:20They clearly snuck in uninvited

01:00:21with no status or lineage.

01:00:23Once the true Lion King arrives,

01:00:24guards will drive them out publicly,

01:00:26and they'll be the laughingstock

01:00:27of everyone present.

01:00:29Evan and Martha stepped forward abruptly,

01:00:32blocking Isabella and Sebastian's path,

01:00:34their manner arrogant

01:00:34and their words cutting.

01:00:36Isabella,

01:00:37you exiled, golden-eyed freak!

01:00:39How dare you sneak into a royal coronation,

01:00:41parading around with this low-class werewolf!

01:00:44You have no shame at all!

01:00:45Sebastian, I still remember

01:00:46your ragged state at the black market.

01:00:48A nobody like you

01:00:49has no right to stand on sacred ground.

01:00:51Take her and leave

01:00:52before you embarrass yourselves further.

01:00:54Whether we belong here

01:00:55is none of your concern.

01:00:56You two snuck in without invitations,

01:00:58yet you still dare to act high and mighty?

01:01:00Sebastian drew Isabella gently to his side,

01:01:03adopting a humble, meek demeanor,

01:01:05his tone soft and unassuming.

01:01:06Alpha Evan, Lady Martha,

01:01:08we only came to watch the ceremony.

01:01:10We mean no trouble,

01:01:11and we'll take our leave at once.

01:01:12Seeing Sebastian's apparent weakness

01:01:14emboldened Martha further.

01:01:15She stepped forward sharply,

01:01:17her tone growing harsher still.

01:01:19Leave is not enough!

01:01:20A low-class werewolf

01:01:22trespassing on royal sacred ground,

01:01:23you will apologize to us.

01:01:26Exactly.

01:01:28Beg forgiveness and get out.

01:01:30When the Lion King arrives,

01:01:32he'll strip your wolf power

01:01:33and shame you publicly.

01:01:34A flicker of cold calm

01:01:35passed through Sebastian's eyes,

01:01:37though his tone remained mild,

01:01:38edged with quiet certainty.

01:01:39Is that so?

01:01:40Then let us wait and see

01:01:41who ends up embarrassed

01:01:41before everyone.

01:01:42Isabella lifted her gaze,

01:01:43a faint glimmer

01:01:44shining in her golden eyes.

01:01:45She played along with Sebastian's act,

01:01:47looking wronged,

01:01:48yet forcing herself

01:01:48to stay complete.

01:01:49You carry yourself so arrogantly.

01:01:51Do you not fear angering

01:01:52the Lichen King?

01:01:54Martha scoffed openly,

01:01:56utterly dismissive of their words.

01:01:57Anger the King?

01:01:59The only ones embarrassing

01:02:00themselves here are you two.

01:02:02The King will punish you,

01:02:04not us.

01:02:06Their taunt stung sharp

01:02:08and loud in my ears.

01:02:09I had no wish to waste time

01:02:10on these petty troublemakers,

01:02:12only wanting to turn away

01:02:13and let the ceremony

01:02:14proceed undisturbed.

01:02:15Pay them no mind.

01:02:17The real show is about to begin.

01:02:18I nodded and turned

01:02:19to leave with him,

01:02:20but Evan took my silence's defeat,

01:02:23stepping forward

01:02:23to block our path,

01:02:25wearing a mocking,

01:02:26triumphant smirk.

01:02:27Cat got your tongue?

01:02:28Can't argue back,

01:02:28so you try to run?

01:02:30I knew it.

01:02:31You're both small-minded nobodies,

01:02:33unfit to stand against us.

01:02:34Run won't save you.

01:02:36Apologize here today,

01:02:38or everyone will see

01:02:39the two of you

01:02:39brought low and humiliated.

01:02:43I frowned, ready to speak,

01:02:45when solemn ceremonial horns

01:02:46echoed across the grounds.

01:02:47A hush fell instantly,

01:02:48every gaze turning

01:02:49towards the high das.

01:02:50The host's voice

01:02:50boomed across the holy mountain,

01:02:52clear and authoritative

01:02:53through spiritual resonance.

01:02:54The auspicious hour has come.

01:02:56The Lichen King's

01:02:57coronation ceremony begins.

01:02:59All rise for the rightful

01:03:01Lichen royal heir,

01:03:02Lord Sebastian

01:03:03and his fated mate,

01:03:05Lady Isabella,

01:03:06to ascend the royal dame.

01:03:11Golden light burst

01:03:13across the sky.

01:03:18I, Sebastian,

01:03:20rightful heir

01:03:21to the Lichen throne,

01:03:22have quelled my brother's rebellion

01:03:23and reclaimed

01:03:24my royal birthright.

01:03:25Today I ascend

01:03:26officially as Lion King

01:03:27and proclaim Isabella

01:03:28my sole Lion Queen.

01:03:30May all clans

01:03:31honor our rule

01:03:31and find peace

01:03:33under our protection.

01:03:34This was my mate,

01:03:36the one destined

01:03:36to walk beside me

01:03:37for all time.

01:03:38In the next instant,

01:03:40two sharp,

01:03:41disbelieving voices

01:03:42shattered the ceremony's

01:03:43solemnity.

01:03:45Impossible!

01:03:45It cannot be!

01:03:46How can you be

01:03:47the Lichen King?

01:03:48You were nothing

01:03:48but a ragged nobody

01:03:49from the black market.

01:03:50You're pretending

01:03:51to claim the throne.

01:03:51Yes, you're an imposter.

01:03:53A low-class werewolf

01:03:54could never be Lichen royal heir.

01:03:55You've tricked everyone

01:03:56with some underhanded scheme.

01:03:57The true Lord King

01:03:58could never be someone

01:03:59like you!

01:04:00They shouted hysterically

01:04:01as if their refusal alone

01:04:02could undo reality.

01:04:04I watched their frantic display

01:04:06with complete indifference.

01:04:07It was utterly ridiculous now.

01:04:09The nobody they mocked

01:04:10was now the king.

01:04:11The outcasts they humiliated,

01:04:13now their queen.

01:04:18Insolent fools.

01:04:19To speak treason

01:04:21at the Lichen King's coronation.

01:04:23To deny royal lineage

01:04:25and dishonor the crown,

01:04:28you court your own doom.

01:04:30Guards, seize them!

01:04:32These two trespassed

01:04:33uninvited on sacred

01:04:34ceremony grounds,

01:04:35insulted the king and queen,

01:04:36and flouted royal decree.

01:04:37By order of the crown,

01:04:38strip three-tenths

01:04:39of their wolf power,

01:04:40expel them from the holy mountain,

01:04:41and ban them permanently

01:04:42from all Lichen territory.

01:04:44Any who defy this ruling

01:04:45shall be put to death

01:04:46without hesitation.

01:04:50He hated his own blindness

01:04:51and pride,

01:04:52mocking the true Lion King

01:04:54and now reaping

01:04:55the ruin he had sown.

01:04:56Your Majesty King Sebastian,

01:04:58I beg forgiveness.

01:04:59I dare not doubt you again.

01:05:00I swear it.

01:05:01Your grace, Queen Isabella,

01:05:02please show mercy.

01:05:04We will never insult you again,

01:05:05never trespass

01:05:06on royal ceremony grounds.

01:05:07Spare us this once.

01:05:09You mock freely

01:05:09when you hold pride,

01:05:10yet beg for mercy and ruin.

01:05:12Your arrogance

01:05:13and ignorance

01:05:13deserve no forgiveness from me.

01:05:15They had brought this

01:05:16upon themselves,

01:05:17casting me aside,

01:05:18humiliating me,

01:05:19looking down on others,

01:05:19and now they face

01:05:20the consequences.

01:05:21They left an utter disgrace,

01:05:23their pride shattered

01:05:23beyond repair.

01:05:28Selene alone beneath the shade

01:05:30of a tree.

01:05:31She clutched her communicator tightly.

01:05:34Why hasn't William come?

01:05:35He swore he would overthrow

01:05:37Sebastian at the coronation.

01:05:38Once he takes the crown,

01:05:40he'll make me Lion Queen.

01:05:42He wouldn't lie to me.

01:05:43The line was dead completely.

01:05:46No, this can't be.

01:05:48He wouldn't deceive me.

01:05:49He must have been stopped

01:05:50by Sebastian's guards,

01:05:51caught in trouble somehow.

01:05:53William!

01:05:54William!

01:05:56William!

01:06:02Selene,

01:06:02you are foolish

01:06:03and greedy indeed.

01:06:04Did you truly believe

01:06:05I would risk everything

01:06:06for the throne

01:06:07or crown you queen?

01:06:08I only used you

01:06:09to drain your wealth

01:06:10and resources

01:06:10from my own gain.

01:06:11At last,

01:06:12the truth crashed over her.

01:06:13This had never been anything

01:06:15but a carefully laid trap.

01:06:16Please,

01:06:17my wealth,

01:06:19my crown,

01:06:19everything is gone.

01:06:21He lied to me.

01:06:22He truly lied to me.

01:06:26Word soon spread

01:06:27of Selene's secret alliance

01:06:29with William.

01:06:30She was branded

01:06:31an enemy of the Lion Crown,

01:06:33blacklisted across

01:06:34all werewolf lands.

01:06:36Foolish woman,

01:06:37not only were you deceived,

01:06:39you dragged my pack

01:06:39into ruin.

01:06:40Do not show yourself

01:06:41to me again.

01:06:42We are finished.

01:06:43Evan,

01:06:44please help me.

01:06:45I know I was wrong.

01:06:46I only wanted a better life.

01:06:47Clean up the mess

01:06:48you made alone.

01:06:49Someone like you

01:06:49is not worthy

01:06:50of standing beside me.

01:06:55Penniless

01:06:56and without allies,

01:06:57she became a public joke

01:06:59among the werewolf clans.

01:07:01She spent her days

01:07:03adrift in loneliness

01:07:04and regret.

01:07:05Evan was stripped

01:07:06of part of his wolf power.

01:07:07His former alpha dominance

01:07:09faded away entirely.

01:07:10I let vanity blind me

01:07:12and look down on Sebastian

01:07:14out of pride.

01:07:15This ruin is entirely

01:07:16my own fault.

01:07:17If only I hadn't urged you

01:07:18to seek favor,

01:07:19if only I hadn't angered

01:07:21the royal family,

01:07:22what will become of us now?

01:07:23There is nothing we can do.

01:07:25Our pack fades.

01:07:26We are powerless

01:07:27to protect it.

01:07:27We can only leave

01:07:28our fate to time.

01:07:29The old glory

01:07:30of the blood moon pack

01:07:31faded into memory.

01:07:34The clan declined

01:07:35steadily into obscurity,

01:07:37struggling merely

01:07:38to survive.

01:07:42All external conflicts

01:07:44faded away

01:07:45and the last traces

01:07:46of royal rebellion

01:07:47were couldn't fell

01:07:48completely.

01:07:50Peace settled

01:07:51over every corner

01:07:52of werewolf territory.

01:07:55Sebastian ruled

01:07:56the Lycan throne steadily,

01:07:58managing clan affairs

01:07:59with calm order,

01:08:00leaving no room

01:08:01for further chaos.

01:08:04With Pup now growing

01:08:05inside me,

01:08:06I rested quietly

01:08:07in the Lyman royal mansion.

01:08:09Sebastian set aside

01:08:10many official duties

01:08:11to stay by my side,

01:08:13tending to my every need

01:08:14with gentle,

01:08:15careful devotion.

01:08:16You don't have to stay

01:08:17by my side every moment.

01:08:19Royal affairs keep you busy.

01:08:20Don't let me hold you back.

01:08:22The throne matters,

01:08:24but you and the pup you carry

01:08:26matter most in my life.

01:08:28The elders contend

01:08:29to all trivial matters.

01:08:30Ella also remained safely

01:08:32within the royal household,

01:08:33staying close

01:08:34to keep me company

01:08:34and looking after

01:08:35my daily needs

01:08:36with heartfelt care.

01:08:38Rest easy

01:08:38and focus on your pregnancy,

01:08:40Luna.

01:08:40I'll stay right here with you

01:08:41so you have nothing

01:08:42to worry about.

01:08:45Sebastian tangled

01:08:46his fingers with mine,

01:08:48his eyes soft.

01:08:51Ella smiled quietly beside us.

01:08:54Sunlight spilled

01:08:55through the window,

01:08:56warm and calm,

01:08:57over all three of us.
