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

00:01:17I'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.

00:05:09I 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.

00:05:19She 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.

00:05:31What 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 pureblood 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.

00:06:16You 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.

00:06:38Every 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

00:06:49pack 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.

00:07:01The 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.

00:07:14Evan 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 geels 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,

00:08:22replaced by impatience 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.

00:08:33Don't linger here and ruin everyone's celebration.

00:08:36I stood perfectly still, my expression unchanging,

00:08:40merely 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.

00:09:03Evan'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,

00:09:14her 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,

00:09:21letting it ring out across the 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,

00:09:37and the cold disflatchment of onlookers ready to watch 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,

00:10:07the air between 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,

00:10:16then looked up again, his 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,

00:10:33her 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.

00:10:44Evan 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.

00:10:55No trace of regret in his eyes, only pure 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,

00:11:20each piece throbbing 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.

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

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

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

00:11:48Selina leaned comfortably in Evan's arms, her eyes glinting with a taunting edge.

00:11:53As 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, I 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.

00:12:21Later, on his deathbed, he held my hand tight, his gaze earnest,

00:12:27as 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, warding 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.

00:12:46I've seen his true colors clearly.

00:12:48He's never been worth my protection.

00:12:50In 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.

00:12:59Evan, 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 again and dismissal.

00:13:12Regret?

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

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

00:13:18Now.

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.

00:13:41Little 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.

00:14:13Waste any time,

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

00:14:17Yes, sir.

00:14:20You'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.

00:14:27I 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.

00:14:38Oh, exactly.

00:14:39Isabella, you can't stand being thrown out,

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

00:14:42I 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.

00:14:48Let's see who's there to protect you then.

00:14:50Watching their hypocritical, colliding faces,

00:14:52I felt nothing but cold amusement.

00:14:54There was no point in wasting another word on them.

00:14:57I'd kept my promise, settled all scores.

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

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

00:15:04But the second I took a step to leave,

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

00:15:08Hold it right there.

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

00:15:13Isabella, Evans formally marked Selina,

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

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

00:15:19This sacred treasure, a symbol of the pack's glory,

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

00:15:25Exactly.

00:15:25Such a precious relic can't be tainted by someone unworthy.

00:15:28It belongs to me,

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

00:15:32Lady 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

00:15:47is worthy of wearing this emblem.

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

00:15:52can't even bear an heir,

00:15:53and wastes its power for nothing.

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

00:16:21A 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?

00:16:32You 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,

00:16:41so 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,

00:17:00craving, 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.

00:17:12Why?

00:17:14You 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?

00:17:29Everyone 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.

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

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

00:17:54Out 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.

00:18:17Stop 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.

00:18:28Carry all the forbearance and heartbreak of these three years.

00:18:35I walked out of the main packhouse step by step.

00:18:38Three 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.

00:18:46I pushed open the door to my home.

00:18:48Live room done was dent.

00:18:49And my father Marcus sat on the sofa with a cigarette between his fingers, undisguised

00:18:54mockery 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?

00:19:03I always knew a freak with strange eyes like you could never hold an alpha's heart,

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

00:19:08He 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, she will soon become the pack's Luna and bring me endless glory.

00:19:21Unlike you, born with those unlucky golden eyes, never 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, and 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.

00:19:56Now that Evan has cast you aside, you have no more use left.

00:19:59I raised you all these years.

00:20:01I cannot keep feeding you for nothing.

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

00:20:06Though he is poor and unculturated, he 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.

00:20:17Refuse?

00:20:18What right do you have?

00:20:19You cannot even bear children.

00:20:21Not qualified enough to be a breeder.

00:20:23What good are you besides being sold off?

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

00:20:33Retribution?

00:20:33All 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.

00:20:44Dressed in fine luxury, Evan will love her even more.

00:20:47To buy a dress for Selena, to win her Evan's affection.

00:20:49My 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.

00:20:55Seize her and lock her in a cage.

00:20:56Do not let her escape.

00:20:57Deliver her to the black market at dawn morrow.

00:20:59They 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.

00:21:22Dawn 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.

00:21:36I 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.

00:21:43So, 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.

00:22:19Evan lowered his head to brush her hair fondly and was about to speak.

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

00:22:26Alpha Evan, disaster.

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

00:22:32The tenderness on Evan's face vanished in an instant.

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

00:22:37What? 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?

00:22:57Was that the real reason my father Joseph insisted you stay by my side?

00:23:02The moment Selina heard this, she clung tightly to Evan's arm, eager to quiet his doubts and turn all blame

00:23:08onto me.

00:23:08Evan, do not entertain such foolish thoughts. How could it ever be her?

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

00:23:15What great power could she possibly possess?

00:23:18She must hold a grudge after you rejected her and father sold her away.

00:23:22She 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.

00:23:30You are right. How could I ever believe an outcast holds such great power?

00:23:33It was you who lured the rogues here out of spite, getting our own people killed.

00:23:36His voice turned icy, and killing intact blazed in his eyes.

00:23:40I 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.

00:23:53With 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,

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

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

00:24:05Evan, you will regret this.

00:24:07Before long, two pack members hurried over.

00:24:09They 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.

00:24:21I 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, outcasts auctioned off as slaves,

00:24:30every face etched with numbness and despair.

00:24:32I 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, forcing me forward unsteadily.

00:24:42Soon they stopped and pushed me before a man.

00:24:44Sebastian, we have brought the girl to you.

00:24:46Marcus instructed us to hand her over personally.

00:24:48The man lifted his eyes slightly, saying nothing at first,

00:24:51only looking me over with a cold, emotionless expression.

00:24:54He wore rough, tattered clothes faded from wear with several tears here and there.

00:24:58Yet his frame was broad and powerful, his shoulders as solid as a wall.

00:25:01His features were sharp and stern, his jawline tight with shovel lining his jaw.

00:25:04A wild, unapproachable aura clung to him, giving him a down-broughten yet dominizing air.

00:25:08Rest 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, impatience clear in his tone.

00:25:21The pack member flinched in fright, bowed quickly and retreated.

00:25:24Only the two of us remained.

00:25:26He said nothing, simply looking down at me with an unnerving calm.

00:25:29No greed, no judgment, only unyielding dominance.

00:25:33Let go of me!

00:25:34Sebastian glanced down at my reddened wrist,

00:25:36loosening his grip slightly yet still refusing to release me.

00:25:39Save your words. Just 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,

00:25:56the werewolf's spiritual power inside me stirred restlessly.

00:26:00Heat 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.

00:26:20The car traveled for a long time

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

00:26:24It was not large, even simple in design,

00:26:26yet spotlessly clean.

00:26:27Even the weeds in the yard were neatly trimmed.

00:26:29A stark contrast to his rough,

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

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

00:26:35nothing like his brusque manner earlier.

00:26:37I looked up at him, my confusion deepening.

00:26:40All that roughness and coldness had 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.

00:26:49I followed him inside.

00:26:51The furnishings were simple,

00:26:52only a wooden sofa, a dining table, and two closed doors.

00:26:55Yet everything was immaculate and orderly,

00:26:57the table polished bright enough to see one's reflection.

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

00:27:02I stood frozen, thinking to myself,

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

00:27:06I am his property after all.

00:27:08I ought to learn to wait on him and tend to his needs.

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

00:27:15It is covered in dust.

00:27:16No need.

00:27:17The moment my fingertips brushed the hem of his coat,

00:27:20Sebastian 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,

00:27:28unable to understand why he treated me with such cold distance.

00:27:34I...

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

00:27:37I can't idle around all day.

00:27:40Sebastian glanced up at me,

00:27:41his tone cold and distant.

00:27:43There's nothing you need to do.

00:27:45Just stay by my side at night.

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

00:27:49My heart sank immediately.

00:27:50We were bound by blood,

00:27:52faded mates,

00:27:52yet he only saw me as someone to warm his bed

00:27:54and satisfy his desires.

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

00:27:58Just then,

00:27:58a slim young girl stepped out of one of the rooms.

00:28:01She had sharp, unrigally eyes,

00:28:02and her hair tied in a neat ponytail.

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

00:28:05her expression turned icy.

00:28:06She frowned openly,

00:28:08looking unimpressed,

00:28:08her voice edged with sarcasm.

00:28:10Brother,

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

00:28:13She looks plain,

00:28:14skinny,

00:28:15and those golden eyes are a freak.

00:28:18What's so special about her

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

00:28:22Ella,

00:28:24watch your tone.

00:28:26Ella pouted,

00:28:27shot me a sharp glare,

00:28:28said nothing else,

00:28:29then turned and slammed her door shut,

00:28:32clearly resentful.

00:28:35At that moment,

00:28:36maid 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.

00:28:43Miss,

00:28:44my name is Clara.

00:28:47I'll be your maid

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

00:28:50For the next week,

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

00:28:54Every night,

00:28:55he would be intimate with me,

00:28:57possessive,

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

00:29:01Could 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,

00:29:10my werewolf powers

00:29:11had been acting strange.

00:29:13My monthly spiritual cycle

00:29:15was long overdue.

00:29:17Sebastian remained secretive,

00:29:19never letting anyone know

00:29:20where he went during the day.

00:29:22His nightly closeness felt

00:29:24deliberately detached.

00:29:26The huge wooden house

00:29:28always felt empty without him,

00:29:31loneliness coiling around me

00:29:32like creeping vines.

00:29:33Restless,

00:29:34I turned on the PAC News channel.

00:29:36One news report made me race felt

00:29:38made me freeze on the spot.

00:29:40Reporter,

00:29:41Marcus of the Blood Moon TAC

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

00:29:45No visible wounds were found on his body

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

00:29:49Alpha Evan has ordered a full investigation

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

00:29:54I stared at Marcus' photo on screen,

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

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

00:30:01but mostly quiet relief.

00:30:04Father, you brought this on yourself.

00:30:06You sold me off like merchandise

00:30:08without a second thought,

00:30:10ignored me completely,

00:30:11and 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.

00:30:18Right after I spoke,

00:30:20a wave of sudden nausea rushed up my throat.

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

00:30:25and rushed to the bathroom,

00:30:26throwing up,

00:30:27feeling weak all over.

00:30:29Clara happened to bring fruit by

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

00:30:33Miss, are you all right?

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.

00:30:45You're perfectly healthy physically.

00:30:47The nausea, vomiting,

00:30:48and unstable spiritual energy

00:30:50are all symptoms of pregnancy.

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

00:30:54The woman Evan mocked as Behrend,

00:30:56the one my own father dismissed

00:30:58as unfit to bear offspring,

00:30:59was now carrying a child.

00:31:03My mind was in chaos.

00:31:04I tried reaching Sebastian

00:31:06through the werewolf mind link,

00:31:07hoping to tell him quietly I was pregnant.

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

00:31:12there was only silence from his side.

00:31:14No reply at all.

00:31:18I was growing anxious

00:31:19when a messenger from Werewolf Academy

00:31:21arrived at the door,

00:31:23clearly flustered.

00:31:27Is Mr. Sebastian home?

00:31:29Miss Ella got into a fight

00:31:31at the youth training camp

00:31:31and hurt another student.

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

00:31:34to come sort this out immediately.

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

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

00:31:40I was the one he'd bought at the black market.

00:31:42With 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.

00:31:51Werewolf Academy stood on neutral land,

00:31:54independent of any pack,

00:31:55where young werewolves from all clans

00:31:57came to train and study.

00:31:59I drove to the academy alone.

00:32:02In the distance,

00:32:03I 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.

00:32:12I 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.

00:32:17When I got a clear look at her face,

00:32:19I realized it was Evan's aunt,

00:32:21Martha.

00:32:21Martha looked me up and down slowly,

00:32:23her gaze full of contempt,

00:32:25her tone sharp and cutting.

00:32:26Well, look who decided to show up.

00:32:29Kicked out of your pack,

00:32:30sold to the black market by your own father,

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

00:32:35How dare you meddle in our family's business.

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

00:32:43My life is none of your business.

00:32:46Even after being sold,

00:32:47I've restooped as low as you,

00:32:48lanked into your pack power,

00:32:50bullying the weak,

00:32:51and picking on a pup in public.

00:32:53Martha's face turned dark,

00:32:55firing back without remorse.

00:32:57Me bullying her?

00:32:59Ella started it.

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

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

00:33:06I 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.

00:33:15Ella 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,

00:33:25Martha flew into a rage,

00:33:27dropping 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

00:33:39purged out of me,

00:33:40pinning her rigidly face,

00:33:42unable to move a muscle.

00:33:45I was stunned myself,

00:33:47never expecting to suddenly awaken such power.

00:33:50Deep inside me,

00:33:51my wolf spirit spoke.

00:33:53Mistress,

00:33:54it is your pregnancy.

00:33:56The life growing inside you

00:33:57has fully awakened your dormant

00:33:59ancient lunar bloodline.

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

00:34:02from here on.

00:34:05I stood there completely dumbfounded.

00:34:10Trapped by my power,

00:34:12Martha stared at me in utter disbelief.

00:34:15What?

00:34:16You've never had formal werewolf training?

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

00:34:23How can...

00:34:25How can you wield such powerful divine magic?

00:34:30Just then,

00:34:31a cold familiar voice came from behind me.

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

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

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

00:34:41her eyes glinting with quiet amusement at the scene.

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

00:34:47Isabella?

00:34:48You've grown far too bold.

00:34:50How dare you lay hands on my aunt?

00:34:53You've lost all sense of manners and decency.

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

00:34:59We 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.

00:35:05I owe her no respect whatsoever.

00:35:07Evan scanned my plain, simple clothes from head to toe,

00:35:10his 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.

00:35:22Beside him,

00:35:23Selena put on a soft, gentle act,

00:35:25pretending to mediate while secretly stirring up trouble.

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

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

00:35:33Her judgment and grace are long gone.

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

00:35:37Evan frowned,

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

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

00:35:41Come with me.

00:35:41I need to talk to you privately.

00:35:44I followed him aside,

00:35:46growing impatient,

00:35:47wondering what he wanted now.

00:35:48Instead of answering right away,

00:35:50he 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.

00:35:59I turned my head away to avoid him.

00:36:02Isabella, I miss being with you.

00:36:04Being with Selena,

00:36:05it's nothing compared to you.

00:36:07He almost sounded wronged,

00:36:08as if I owed him something.

00:36:09Then his tone turned cold

00:36:10as he mentioned the man who'd bought me,

00:36:12seething with jealousy at the thought of me

00:36:13belonging to a rough nobody.

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

00:36:16Come back and be my mistress.

00:36:17I'll give you mansions, jewels, silk gowns.

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

00:36:22And more.

00:36:23I looked at his desperate, prideful act

00:36:25and suddenly laughed.

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

00:36:31he's still better than you.

00:36:32That one sentence made his face burn red,

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

00:36:37I'd struck his fragile ego,

00:36:39thin as eggshell.

00:36:40Just then, Selena walked over from a distance,

00:36:43eyeing us suspiciously

00:36:44and asking what we were talking about.

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

00:36:48but as several werewolves walked past,

00:36:50I deliberately raised my voice.

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

00:36:53Evan is infertile.

00:36:59Evan spun around, glaring at me sharply.

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

00:37:04his face draining of color.

00:37:05The passing werewolves stopped and watched,

00:37:08whispering and slurkering,

00:37:09their mocking eyes burning into Evan.

00:37:11Selena froze on the spot,

00:37:13her smile fading instantly.

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

00:37:18studying his flustered expression closely.

00:37:20I stayed calm and composed,

00:37:22gently placing one hand over my stomach,

00:37:25my tone steady and unyielding.

00:37:27I'm pregnant.

00:37:29You're delirious.

00:37:31There's no way you could be pregnant.

00:37:33I looked on indifferently,

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

00:37:37Believe it or not,

00:37:39I don't owe anyone an explanation.

00:37:41Martha stepped forward at once with a sneer.

00:37:43Pregnant or not,

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

00:37:47werewolf's bastard child.

00:37:49Selena quickly agreed,

00:37:51her tone sharp and full of scorn.

00:37:54Exactly.

00:37:55Nothing to be proud of.

00:37:57She reeks of common werewolf aura.

00:38:01I leaned forward slightly,

00:38:03breathing in subtly when near the three of them,

00:38:05my voice thick with mockery and certainty.

00:38:07No matter my place now,

00:38:09I'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,

00:38:15barely holding itself together.

00:38:17Yet you still come to this neutral school

00:38:19to bully others and stir up trouble.

00:38:21My words hit Evan right where it hurt.

00:38:24I'd seen pack news long before now,

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

00:38:31leaving him stressed and sleepless.

00:38:35Evan paled instantly,

00:38:37his anger mixing with panic as he snapped back harshly.

00:38:42That's a lie!

00:38:44Don't spread rumors!

00:38:47My pack is perfectly safe.

00:38:53And no rogue troubles at all.

00:38:57Martha and Selina also paled,

00:38:59avoiding eye contact nervously,

00:39:01subtly suppressing their era to hide the rogue scent clinging to them.

00:39:04The onlooking werewolves began murmuring,

00:39:06looking at the three with obvious suspicion.

00:39:08Just then,

00:39:08the Academy's Elder Dean hurried over with a stern expression,

00:39:11raising a hand to quiet the crowd.

00:39:13That's enough!

00:39:14This is neutral Academy ground.

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

00:39:20Ella 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,

00:39:27her stubborn spirit clear as ever.

00:39:29I turned to Ella,

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

00:39:33Ella,

00:39:33what really made you fight Jack?

00:39:37I looked at Ella,

00:39:38her eyes red yet still forcing herself to stay strong.

00:39:42Stubborn by nature,

00:39:43she rarely showed vulnerability.

00:39:45But now she could not hide her hurt,

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

00:39:50Ella lifted her head sharply,

00:39:52her voice trembling yet firm.

00:39:54He started it first!

00:39:57Jack mocked me in front of everyone,

00:39:59said I didn't belong in the training camp,

00:40:01and called Brother Sebastian a nobody with no real power.

00:40:05Jack looked utterly unconvinced and fired back at once.

00:40:11It's the truth.

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

00:40:16Ella grew emotional,

00:40:17raising her voice.

00:40:18He even tugged at my wolf fur and shoved me against the wall.

00:40:22He pointed right at my face and called Sister a golden-eyed freak who couldn't bear pups,

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

00:40:30I held back again and again,

00:40:32but he just kept pushing me.

00:40:34I had no choice but to fight back.

00:40:37I stood frozen,

00:40:38my heart aching with emotion.

00:40:39I'd always thought I was nothing more than someone Sebastian had bought,

00:40:42that there was always a distance between Ella and me,

00:40:44that she'd kept her cold reserve towards me.

00:40:46I never imagined she would stand up for me so fiercely when others slandered and looked down on me.

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

00:40:53marked with faint scratch wounds.

00:40:55A few tufts of wolf fur had been torn from her neck,

00:40:58and there was a faint bruise at the corner of her mouth.

00:41:02She looked worn and utterly heartbreaking.

00:41:07In that moment, memories of being wronged, mocked, and bullied relentlessly crashed over me like a tide.

00:41:13Shunned as a freak by Evan's pack,

00:41:14humiliated publicly by Selena,

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

00:41:17branded barren by everyone around me,

00:41:19all the suppressed grief and resentment welled up inside,

00:41:21flaring into a fierce urge to protect Ella.

00:41:23I reached out and gently stroked her hair,

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

00:41:28then turned to face Jack, Martha, and the rest of them.

00:41:33Jack insulted others openly and resorted to violence first.

00:41:38Martha turns a blind eye to her son's wrongnings and enables his cruelty.

00:41:43Your own pack is overrun by rogues and barely holding on,

00:41:47yet you still find time to bully a pup and insult others.

00:41:51Isn't that both ridiculous and pitiful?

00:41:54The moment my words landed, Martha flew into a rage.

00:41:57She stepped forward abruptly,

00:41:58japping a finger straight at me and snapping sharply.

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

00:42:02How dare you judge us?

00:42:03My birth clan is the blood moon pack.

00:42:05My in-law is the silver flang pack.

00:42:07Say another word and I'll have these two great packs pressure this academy.

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

00:42:15I'll make you apologize to us mother and son in front of everyone.

00:42:21The elder in charge of the training camp hurried over,

00:42:24followed by several guards, his area commanding and unhealed.

00:42:26Silence, all of you.

00:42:27Jack provoked, insulted, and attacked first.

00:42:29He must apologize sincerely to Ella and Isabella.

00:42:31Martha will no longer be a ladle in student affairs

00:42:33for turning a blind eye to right and wrong and abusing her status.

00:42:35Anyone else who stirs up trouble will be expelled from the academy permanently,

00:42:39never to be admitted again.

00:42:40He then turned to me, his tone softening noticeably.

00:42:43Lyman Queen, rest assured, this is neutral ground.

00:42:47No one shall harm you or Ella.

00:42:49You need not fear for the one watching over you from the shadows.

00:42:52He will always keep you safe.

00:42:57I stared at him in utter disbelief.

00:43:00Elder, you must have mistaken me for someone else.

00:43:03I'm no Lyman Queen.

00:43:05I'm just an ordinary werewolf.

00:43:07I could never deserve such a title.

00:43:09The elder shook his head faintly, his eyes deep and cryptic,

00:43:13gesturing for me not to press further.

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

00:43:16The matter runs far deeper than you know.

00:43:18When the time comes, all will be revealed.

00:43:22For now, let us resolve what lies before us.

00:43:29At that, Evan, Martha, and Selina burst out in mocking laughter.

00:43:33Martha even clutched her stomach dramatically, sneering openly as she pointed at me.

00:43:39Elder, have you lost your wits?

00:43:41Or has this freak bewitched you somehow?

00:43:44Her?

00:43:44A lowly werewolf sold at the black market who can't even protect herself?

00:43:48The legendary Lycan Queen?

00:43:57What a ridiculous joke!

00:44:00Selina leaned close to Evan, her eyes filled with contempt.

00:44:03She raised her voice deliberately, making sure every watching werewolf could hear clearly.

00:44:08Exactly, Elder.

00:44:09The Lycan Queen is a noble existence who rules over all wolf clans.

00:44:12She's nothing but an outcast abandoned by her pack, mocked for being unable to bear young.

00:44:19How can you place such an exalt title on someone like her?

00:44:23The Elder's expression darkened at once, his imposing aura sweeping over the square.

00:44:27His eyes turned cold and sharp as he thundered, silencing every onlooker instantly.

00:44:36Hold your tongues!

00:44:37This neutral training camp is no place for your reckless arrogance.

00:44:41Speak ill of Isabella one more time, mock her again, and I will have all of you detained.

00:44:46Strip part of your wolf power, expel you from the camp, and bar you from ever returning.

00:44:50Martha tried to argue back, but froze under the Elder's icy stare.

00:44:55The words died in her throat.

00:44:58Furious as she was, she dared not act out any further.

00:45:02The Elder turned to Jack, who still looked stubbornly defiant.

00:45:06Jack, apologize to Ella and Isabella at once.

00:45:09Speak with genuine remorse and admit your faults.

00:45:11Refuse, and you will be expelled today.

00:45:13I will notify your pack, and you will never be allowed entry into any werewolf training camp again.

00:45:18Jack clenched his fists tightly, his face burninged with stubbornness and resentment.

00:45:23He glared fiercely at Ella, yet trembled under the Elder's overwhelming pressure, and finally lowered his head.

00:45:33I'm sorry.

00:45:37I shouldn't have called you a half-blood stray, insulted your brother, tugged your wolf fur, or pushed you against

00:45:44the wall.

00:45:45I apologize.

00:45:48Ella pressed her lips together and said nothing, only nodded faintly.

00:45:51The hurt in her eyes easing a little.

00:45:56Let's go.

00:45:58I'll settle this score with you two, sooner or later.

00:46:01Martha shook with rage.

00:46:02She shot a venomous glare at me and Ella, then grabbed Jack's arm roughly, her tone seeking with malice.

00:46:08Evan looked at me with complicated eyes, resentment, confusion, and a flicker of hidden unease.

00:46:12He shot the Elder a long, wary glance, yet dared not say another word.

00:46:15He turned and left the camp square with Martha and Selina, looking both furious and defeated.

00:46:18Before leaving, Selina glanced back at me with a sharp, hateful stare.

00:46:24I watched them leave, then turned back to the Elder, still utterly confused, my tone urgent.

00:46:31Elder, why do you keep calling me Lycan Queen?

00:46:34I'm not the person you think I am.

00:46:36My mate is only an ordinary werewolf.

00:46:39How could I ever bear such a title?

00:46:41The Elder shook his head slowly, his gaze deep with untold secrets.

00:46:45He motioned for me to calm myself, his tone cryptic yet laced with quiet warmth.

00:46:49This matter is of great consequence and touches countless threads of fate.

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

00:46:55Only remember this.

00:46:57Someone has been protecting you in the shadows.

00:46:59No matter what dangers lie ahead, you have nothing to fear.

00:47:03I turned to Ella beside me, wondering if she knew anything of this.

00:47:07Ella, does any of this make sense to you?

00:47:09Why would the Elder call me that?

00:47:11Ella smiled innocently and shook her head, then skipped off into the distance, her voice light and flaky.

00:47:16No idea, sister. You'll have to figure it out yourself!

00:47:19Back home, I pushed open the door to find Sebastian sitting quietly on the living room sofa,

00:47:23holding a Wolf Clan medicinal herb between his fingers, waiting for us.

00:47:26You're back.

00:47:28Did anything else happen at the camp?

00:47:30Has Ella been wronged again?

00:47:32Ella shook her head and walked over to sit beside him, leaning softly against his arm.

00:47:38I'm fine, Brother Sebastian.

00:47:40The Elder stood up for us, and Jack apologized.

00:47:43I stepped in front of Sebastian, my expression earnest and searching,

00:47:48unable to hold back the questions weighing on my mind any longer.

00:47:53Sebastian, I need to ask you something.

00:47:55Today at the training camp, the Elder called me like on Queen and said someone has been guarding me secretly.

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

00:48:01And you? What is your true identity?

00:48:03You've always hidden the truth from me on purpose.

00:48:06Sebastian's fingers stilled.

00:48:07He lifted his eyes to meet mine, his gaze flickering as he deliberately avoided my direct stare.

00:48:13Bella, some things aren't meant to be told yet.

00:48:16I can promise you this.

00:48:18I will never harm you or Ellie, and I will always protect you.

00:48:22All you need to do is trust me.

00:48:24I watched him evade my gaze, my confusion deepening by the second.

00:48:28A quiet hurt settled in my heart.

00:48:30The Elder wouldn't speak, and Sebastian chose to hide the truth too.

00:48:34It felt as if everyone held secrets about me, leaving me in the dark like a fool.

00:48:38I fell silent for a moment, my hand unconsciously drifting to my stomach,

00:48:42where a tiny life was growing, the only thing I clung to now.

00:48:46I lifted my eyes to him, my expression solemn.

00:48:50Sebastian, I'm pregnant.

00:48:52Sebastian froze visibly.

00:48:54He set down the herb slowly, a faint soft smile crossing his face, the corners of his mouth lifting.

00:49:01He was clearly happy, yet his joy was far too restrained, too calm.

00:49:06There was none of the wild delight I'd hoped for.

00:49:09No flurry of worried questions, no tender touch.

00:49:13The glimmer of joy in his eyes faded almost at once, settling back into his usual quiet reserve.

00:49:20My heart sank heavily in that instant.

00:49:23Disappointment and uneases washed over me like a cold tide, swallowing me whole.

00:49:28I couldn't help but wonder, did he not want this pup at all?

00:49:32Was I, and the life inside me, nothing more than a burden to him?

00:49:36I thought of being sold by my own father, abandoned by Evan.

00:49:39Of all the uncertainty I'd endured, my unease grew stronger until my fingers began to tremble faintly.

00:49:45I dared not look Sebastian in the eye, afraid of catching even a trace of distaste or impatience in his

00:49:51expression.

00:49:51I pushed down the ache and hurt in my chest, forcing a faint calm smile and nodding.

00:49:56I understand.

00:49:58You don't have to feel pressured.

00:49:59Night fell, and silence settled over everything.

00:50:02Moonlight spilled through the window onto the floor.

00:50:04I sat alone on the edge of the bed, gently resting a hand over my stomach.

00:50:08The weight of disappointment and unease grew heavier.

00:50:11More and more, I felt as though both I and my pup were nothing but a burden to Sebastian.

00:50:16Staying here would only be an annoyance, only wear him down further.

00:50:19Better to leave now.

00:50:21Go somewhere no one knows me.

00:50:23Give birth quietly.

00:50:25Raise my pup alone.

00:50:27And never be a chain holding anyone back again.

00:50:30With my mind made up, I rose quietly, moving without a sound.

00:50:34I opened my luggage and began packing silently.

00:50:36A few simple clothes, the wolf-tooth pendant Sebastian had given me Lungo to ward off danger.

00:50:41Some dried rations I'd saved.

00:50:43I folded everything carefully into a small bundle.

00:50:45Once packed, I walked to Ella's bedside and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead,

00:50:50my heart heavy with sorrow yet firm with resolve.

00:50:52Ella, I'm sorry.

00:50:53Sister can't stay with you anymore.

00:50:55Stay safe with Brother Sebastian and getting hurt the way I did.

00:50:58I wiped the tears from my eyes, slung the bundle over my shoulder, and closed the door softly.

00:51:03Under the cover of deep night, I stepped slowly out of Sebastian's home.

00:51:11I walked into the dark forest with my bundle.

00:51:13I'd barely taken a few steps when hurried footsteps sounded behind me.

00:51:16A shadow darted forward in pursuit, and his familiar scent wrapped around me in an instant.

00:51:21It was Sebastian.

00:51:22Bella, where are you going?

00:51:24It's the middle of the night, carrying a bundle.

00:51:27Are you leaving me?

00:51:28I pulled my hand away sharply.

00:51:30My eyes red-brimmed, toned stubborn and hurt, forcing myself to sound cold.

00:51:37Where I go is none of your business.

00:51:42Sebastian, don't trouble yourself over me, and don't feel ob-gayed.

00:51:46How can it not be my business?

00:51:49Bella, you are my mate.

00:51:51The pup you carry is my flesh and blood.

00:51:54Wherever you go, I go.

00:51:57How can you say this has nothing to do with me?

00:51:59His words shattered every wall I've put up.

00:52:01Long-suppressed grief and hurt burst free.

00:52:03I pound against his chest, struggling to break away.

00:52:06Mate, do you still remember I'm your mate?

00:52:09Sebastian, look at yourself.

00:52:11I told you I was pregnant, and this is how you react?

00:52:14No joy, no concern, not a single sincere word of care.

00:52:17You don't care about this pup at all, and you've never truly cared about me.

00:52:21I stopped struggling and stared straight into his eyes, tears streaming down my cheeks,

00:52:25my tone laced with self-mockery and despair, every word cutting deep into us both.

00:52:29You were just a buyer at the black market, and I was nothing more than a slave you purchased.

00:52:35Your kindness, your gentleness, only fleeting interest, only because I still have use to you.

00:52:42Isn't that the truth?

00:52:43You've never truly cared about me.

00:52:45Sebastian stuffened completely, holding me tighter.

00:52:49He gripped my shoulders, forcing me to meet his glaze.

00:52:52Bella, don't say that.

00:52:54I have never seen you as a slave, not for a single moment.

00:52:57I bought you for a reason.

00:53:01The forest seemed to darken all at once.

00:53:04A blood-red moon rose slowly over the horizon, its crimson glow spilling across the entire woods.

00:53:10Sebastian lifted his head and stared quietly at the blood moon, his expression solemn and grave.

00:53:16The wolf clan has an ancient fate law.

00:53:19Only when the blood moon rises will the royal seal be fully broken.

00:53:23No more need for pretense, no more hiding.

00:53:26The time has finally come.

00:53:27I stared at the eerie crimson moon, my heart tightening inexplicably, lost and stunned, waiting for him to go on.

00:53:37I was never an ordinary low-rank werewolf.

00:53:39I am the rightful heir to the Lycan throne.

00:53:43My elder brother plotted against me in secret to seize power.

00:53:47To survive, I had to hide my royal identity, suppress my true strength, lie low and bide my time, evading

00:53:54my enemies while gathering power to take back what was mine.

00:53:57His tone softened, laced with gentle remembrance.

00:54:00I've known you for a very long time.

00:54:03Years ago, on the frozen ice plains, I saw you ignoring the bitter cold to feed stray wolfhubs gently.

00:54:08In that moment, I was already drawn to you.

00:54:10I've watched over you silently ever since, following every twist of your fate.

00:54:13His voice turned tender with sorrow as he spoke of the past.

00:54:16When I learned Evan had cast you aside cruelly, and your own father sold you off like nothing more than

00:54:22a breeder, I acted at once and bought you from Marcus.

00:54:25This was never a cold transaction.

00:54:28It was protection I planned long ago.

00:54:30A chance to save you.

00:54:34Sebastian let out a quiet sigh, his eyes filled with lingering helplessness and restraint.

00:54:38I kept my distance and acted cold towards you before because I'd long sensed you are a born pureblood Luna.

00:54:43Back then I was trapped in royal turmoil, surrounded by enemies barely able to protect myself.

00:54:47I fear dragging you into danger, and I refuse to let someone as noble and pure as you stay hidden

00:54:52beside a fallen, disguised me.

00:54:53He lifted his gaze to the blood moon hanging high in the sky, his aura steady and regal, his expression

00:55:00calm with certainty.

00:55:01Now the blood moon has risen, fate has fallen into place.

00:55:04I have crushed my brother's schemes, quelled the internal turtoile, and reclaimed my rightful throne at last.

00:55:08I have officially ascended as the new Lycan king.

00:55:10He reached out and took my hand gently, his palm warm and firm, his gaze locked steadily on mine, sincere

00:55:17and earnest.

00:55:18Isabella, of course I care about our child.

00:55:20I have cared all along.

00:55:21I've waited far too long for this day.

00:55:22Once I could only guard you from the shadows.

00:55:24Now I hold the throne, and I have the power to shield you and our pup for a lifetime in

00:55:27peace.

00:55:27I wish to mark you properly, claim you as my one and only mate, and crown you queen of the

00:55:30Lycan clan.

00:55:31From this day forward, no one will ever dare hurt you again.

00:55:33I stared at the raw, unhovered affection and resolve in his eyes.

00:55:36All the grief, unease, and doubt I'd carried these days melted away in an instant.

00:55:39Emotion welled up inside me, and warm tears slipped slowly down my cheeks.

00:55:43I looked at him and nodded softly, knowing he meant to mark me for life.

00:55:48Night hung thick and dark.

00:55:49A blood-red moon hung high over the sky, bathing the entire forest in a faint crimson glow.

00:55:54Isabella waited eagerly for Sebastian to claim her mark, her eyes sparkling with quiet excitement and anticipation.

00:55:59Are you ready?

00:56:00This mark will bind you to me completely as my mate, and awaken the full strength of your pureblood Luna

00:56:04lineage.

00:56:05Yes.

00:56:05Sebastian rested his hands gently on Isabella's shoulders, and pressed his warm lips to hers to leave his mark.

00:56:12There was a faint twinge of pain, yet Isabella did not flinch for a moment.

00:56:16Her gaze filled only with longing.

00:56:18The instant the mark settled Sebastian's royal time with Isabella's pureblood Luna energy, golden light twirled around them both.

00:56:24Her golden irises blazing brighter than ever, as her ancient pureblood era fully awakened within her.

00:56:30From this day on, I will never let anyone hurt you, never let you shed another tear.

00:56:35This mark is my vow to you.

00:56:37I trust you.

00:56:41Hidden in the shadows, Selina watched every moment unfold.

00:56:44She stared at their joined hands, consumed by bitter resentment.

00:56:48A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

00:56:50She quietly pulled out her communicator, and reached out to Sebastian's elder brother William.

00:56:54Why should they have everything?

00:56:55I will take back what belongs to me, and make them pay for standing in my way.

00:56:59Sebastian looked down at Isabella beside him, brushing the soft smile from her lips with tender reverence.

00:57:04He knew he no longer needed to hide his identity.

00:57:07At last, he could protect her openly, without fear or pretense.

00:57:11I will protect you, protect our child, and cherish every part of who you are.

00:57:14No one will ever make you suffer again.

00:57:19Sebastian began preparing for the Lycan royal coronation ceremony.

00:57:22On that day, he would publicly reveal his true identity as the rightful royal heir.

00:57:26He officially crowned Lycan king, and formally proclaimed Isabella the legitimate Lycan queen,

00:57:30honored and revered by all werewolf claims.

00:57:33Meanwhile, life grew increasingly bleak for Evan's blood moon pack.

00:57:37Stripped of Isabella's luna protection barrier, rogue packs began raiding their borders relentlessly,

00:57:41casualties mounted, their territory fell into ruin, and the entire clan twatered on the brink of collapse.

00:57:46Evan, if we carry on like this, the rogues will swallow our pack entirely.

00:57:51The new Lycan king's coronation is soon, and word spreads his power is unfathomable.

00:57:58If we can gain his favor, we'll never fear the rogues again.

00:58:01We weren't sent an invitation.

00:58:02This king has always lived in secrecy, cold and unpredictable.

00:58:05If we sneak in disguise to get caught, we'll only humiliate ourselves.

00:58:08Do we still care about pride?

00:58:09Saving our pack is all that matters.

00:58:11We'll dress common minor clan guests and blend into the crowd.

00:58:13Once we reach the royal dask, we'll find a chance to enratiate ourselves.

00:58:17Evan stared at his ravaged territory and his fading clan members.

00:58:20Overcome by desperation and ambition, he finally agreed to sneak into the coronation beside Martha,

00:58:24set on curing favor with the new Lycan king to secure his pack's survival.

00:58:28Upon hearing news of the ceremony, Selina chose not to go with Evan and Martha.

00:58:32She waited alone for William, Sebastian's elder brother, whom she had secretly allied with.

00:58:38Sebastian thinks he can claim the throne and reign in peace.

00:58:42William has already promised me he will seize power at the coronation.

00:58:47Once William overtows Sebastian and takes the crown.

00:58:51I will be his one and only queen, the true Lycan queen.

00:58:56I'll never again live in Isabella's shadow.

00:58:59She drowned herself in ambitious fantasies, waiting foolishly for William to appear,

00:59:04completely unaware she was nothing more than a pawn he had long been using.

00:59:09The Lycan holy mountain blazed with coronation splendor.

00:59:13Golden light spilled over the keeps.

00:59:14Royal guards standing tall with imposing presence.

00:59:17Powerful werewolf leaders from every clan filed in to take their seats.

00:59:21The entire sacred grounds steeped in solemn grandeur.

00:59:23Evan and Martha dressed in plain outsider robes, blending silently into the guest crowd and slipping into the ceremony grounds.

00:59:29They gazed up at the luxurious royal days, watching the dignified clan leaders around them, envy clear in their eyes.

00:59:34Both resolved to seize any chance to win the new Lycan king's favor and save their family.

00:59:38Their gaze drifted casually across the gathering, and they froze instantly,

00:59:42spotting Isabella and Sebastian standing side by side.

00:59:45Disdain and contempt settled over their faces at once.

00:59:48Look! Is that Isabella?

00:59:50How dare she intrude on a royal coronation?

00:59:53They exchanged a glance, both looking down on the pair.

00:59:56Evan's tone turned sharp with quiet mockery.

00:59:58And beside her, that's the rough low-class werewolf who bought her at the black market.

01:00:03A nobody with no standing.

01:00:05How dare he set foot on sacred Lycan royal grounds.

01:00:09Echoing his scorn, her disgust deepening.

01:00:11They have no sense of their place.

01:00:13Both are outcasts unfit for high society, only here to leech off prestige and cling to power.

01:00:18They clearly snuck in uninvited with no status or lineage.

01:00:21Once the true Lyman king arrives, guards will drive them out publicly, and they'll be the laughingstock of everyone present.

01:00:28Evan and Martha stepped forward abruptly, blocking Isabella and Sebastian's path, their manner arrogant and their words cutting.

01:00:35Isabella, you exiled, golden-eyed freak.

01:00:38How dare you sneak into a royal coronation, parading around with this low-class werewolf.

01:00:42You have no shame at all.

01:00:44Sebastian, I still remember your ragged state at the black market.

01:00:47A nobody like you has no right to stand on sacred ground.

01:00:50Take her and leave before you embarrass yourselves further.

01:00:53Whether we belong here is none of your concern.

01:00:55You two snuck in without invitations, yet you still dare to act high and mighty.

01:00:59Sebastian drew Isabella gently to his side, adopting a humble, meek demeanor, his tone soft and unassuming.

01:01:05Alpha Evan, Lady Martha, we only came to watch the ceremony.

01:01:08We mean no trouble, and we'll take our leave at once.

01:01:11Seeing Sebastian's apparent weakness emboldened Martha further.

01:01:14She stepped forward sharply, her tone growing harsher still.

01:01:17Leave is not enough.

01:01:19A low-class werewolf trespassing on royal sacred ground, you will apologize to us.

01:01:25Exactly.

01:01:27Beg forgiveness and get out.

01:01:29When the Lion King arrives, he'll strip your wolf power and shame you publicly.

01:01:33A flicker of cold calm passed through Sebastian's eyes, though his tone remained mild, edged with quiet certainty.

01:01:38Is that so?

01:01:38Then let us wait and see who ends up embarrassed before everyone.

01:01:41Isabella lifted her gaze, a faint glimmer shining in her golden eyes.

01:01:44She played along with Sebastian's act, looking wronged yet forcing herself to stay complete.

01:01:48You carry yourselves so arrogantly.

01:01:50Do you not fear angering the Lichen King?

01:01:53Martha scoffed openly, utterly dismissive of their words.

01:01:56Anger the King?

01:01:57The only ones embarrassing themselves here are you two.

01:02:01The King will punish you, not us.

01:02:05Their taunt stung sharp and loud in my ears.

01:02:08I had no wish to waste time on these petty troublemakers,

01:02:10only wanting to turn away and let the ceremony proceed undisturbed.

01:02:13Pay them no mind.

01:02:15The real show is about to begin.

01:02:17I nodded and turned to leave with him.

01:02:19But Evan took my silence as defeat, stepping forward to block our path,

01:02:23wearing a mocking, triumphant smirk.

01:02:25Cat got your tongue?

01:02:26Can't argue back, so you try to run?

01:02:28I knew it.

01:02:30You're both small-minded nobodies, unfit to stand against us.

01:02:33Run won't save you.

01:02:35Apologize here today, or everyone will see the two of you brought low and humiliated.

01:02:42I frowned, ready to speak, when solemn ceremonial horns echoed across the grounds.

01:02:46A hush fell instantly, every gaze turning towards the high das.

01:02:48The host's voice boomed across the holy mountain, clear and authoritative through spiritual resonance.

01:02:52The auspicious hour has come.

01:02:54The Lycan king's coronation ceremony begins.

01:02:58All rise for the rightful Lycan royal heir, Lord Sebastian, and his fated mate, Lady Isabella, to ascend the royal

01:03:06daze.

01:03:10Golden light burst across the sky.

01:03:17I, Sebastian, rightful heir to the Lycan throne, have quelled my brother's rebellion and reclaimed my royal birthright.

01:03:23Today I ascend officially as Lion King and proclaim Isabella my sole Lion Queen.

01:03:28May all clans honor our rule and find peace under our protection.

01:03:32This was my mate, the one destined to walk beside me for all time.

01:03:37In the next instant, two sharp, disbelieving voices shattered the ceremony's solemnity.

01:03:43Impossible! It cannot be!

01:03:45How can you be the Lycan king?

01:03:46You were nothing but a ragged nobody from the black market.

01:03:49You're pretending to claim the throne.

01:03:50Yes, you're an imposter!

01:03:51A low-class werewolf could never be Lycan royal heir!

01:03:54You've tricked everyone with some underhanded scheme!

01:03:56The true Lord King could never be someone like you!

01:03:58They shouted hysterically, as if their refusal alone could undo reality.

01:04:03I watched their frantic display with complete indifference.

01:04:06It was utterly ridiculous now.

01:04:07The nobody they mocked was now the king.

01:04:10The outcast they humiliated.

01:04:12Now their queen.

01:04:16Insolent fools!

01:04:18To speak treason at the Lycan king's coronation.

01:04:22To deny royal lineage and dishonor the crown, you court your own doom.

01:04:29Guards! Seize them!

01:04:30These two trespassed uninvited on sacred ceremony grounds, insulted the king and queen, and flouted royal decree.

01:04:36By order of the crown, strip three-tenths of their wolf power, expel them from the holy mountain, and ban

01:04:40them permanently from all Lycan territory.

01:04:43Any who defy this ruling shall be put to death without hesitation.

01:04:48He hated his own blindness and pride, mocking the true Lion King, and now reaping the ruin he had sown.

01:04:55Your Majesty King Sebastian, I beg forgiveness. I dare not doubt you again, I swear it.

01:04:59Your grace, Queen Isabella, please show mercy.

01:05:02We will never insult you again, never trespass on royal ceremony grounds. Spare us this once.

01:05:07You mock freely when you hold pride, yet beg for mercy and ruin.

01:05:11Your arrogance and ignorance deserve no forgiveness from me.

01:05:13They had brought this upon themselves, casting me aside, humiliating me, looking down on others, and now they face the

01:05:19consequences.

01:05:20They left an utter disgrace, their pride shattered beyond repair.

01:05:27Selene alone beneath the shade of a tree, she clutched her communicator tightly.

01:05:32Why hasn't William come? He swore he would overthrow Sebastian at the coronation.

01:05:37Once he takes the crown, he'll make me Lion Queen.

01:05:40He wouldn't lie to me.

01:05:42The Lion was dead, completely.

01:05:44No, this can't be.

01:05:46He wouldn't deceive me.

01:05:48He must have been stopped by Sebastian's guards, caught in trouble somehow.

01:05:52William! William!

01:05:54William!

01:06:00Selene, you are foolish and greedy indeed.

01:06:03Did you truly believe I would risk everything for the throne, or crown you Queen?

01:06:06I only used you to drain your wealth and resources from my own gain.

01:06:10At last the truth crashed over her.

01:06:12This had never been anything but a carefully laid trap.

01:06:15Please, my wealth, my crown, everything is gone.

01:06:20He lied to me.

01:06:21He truly lied to me.

01:06:24Word soon spread of Selene's secret alliance with William.

01:06:29She was branded an enemy of the Lion Crown, blacklisted across all werewolf lands.

01:06:35Foolish woman.

01:06:36Not only were you deceived, you dragged my pack into ruin.

01:06:39Do not show yourself to me again.

01:06:41We are finished.

01:06:42Evan, please help me.

01:06:43I know I was wrong.

01:06:45I only wanted a better life.

01:06:46Clean up the mess you made alone.

01:06:47Someone like you is not worthy of standing beside me.

01:06:54Penniless and without allies, she became a public joke among the werewolf clans.

01:07:00She spent her days adrift in loneliness and regret.

01:07:04Evan was stripped of part of his wolf power.

01:07:06His former alpha dominance faded away entirely.

01:07:09I let vanity blind me and look down on Sebastian out of pride.

01:07:13This ruin is entirely my own fault.

01:07:16If only I hadn't urged you to seek favor.

01:07:18If only I hadn't angered the royal family.

01:07:20What will become of us now?

01:07:22There is nothing we can do.

01:07:23Our pack fades.

01:07:25We are powerless to protect it.

01:07:26We can only leave our fate to time.

01:07:28The old glory of the Blood Moon Pack faded into memory.

01:07:32The clan declined steadily into obscurity, struggling merely to survive.

01:07:41All external conflicts faded away.

01:07:44And the last traces of royal rebellion were couldn't quelled completely.

01:07:48Peace settled over every corner of werewolf territory.

01:07:54Sebastian ruled the Lycan throne steadily, managing clan affairs with calm order, leaving no room for further chaos.

01:08:02With Pup now growing inside me, I rested quietly in the Lyman royal mansion.

01:08:08Sebastian set aside many official duties to stay by my side, tending to my every need with gentle, careful devotion.

01:08:15You don't have to stay by my side every moment.

01:08:17Royal affairs keep you busy.

01:08:19Don't let me hold you back.

01:08:21The throne matters.

01:08:22But you and the pup you carry matter most in my life.

01:08:26The elders contend to all trivial matters.

01:08:29Ella also remained safely within the royal household, staying close to keep me company,

01:08:33and looking after my daily needs with heartfelt care.

01:08:36Rest easy and focus on your pregnancy, Luna.

01:08:39I'll stay right here with you, so you have nothing to worry about.

01:08:44Sebastian tangled his fingers with mine, his eyes soft.

01:08:50Ella smiled quietly beside us.

01:08:52Sunlight spilled through the window, warm and calm, over all three of us.

01:08:57Thank you very much.
