Short filmTranscript
00:02At the mate selection ceremony, the Luna Queen herself announced me, the Alpha Prince's
00:09fated mate.
00:10Right then, my cousin Jade knelt down and held up a sketch.
00:14It showed a woman's bare back with a crescent birthmark on her waist.
00:19I love my cousin.
00:20Jade said through tears.
00:22But I cannot deceive the Luna Queen.
00:25Vera's purity is compromised.
00:27She is not fit to be the Alpha Prince's mate.
00:31In a single night, I became the most disgraced wolf in the entire pack.
00:38Afterward, Jade smiled and told me, if Aunt Miriam hadn't described that birthmark herself,
00:44no one would have believed it.
00:45It was my own mother who commissioned that sketch, just so her beloved niece could take
00:51my place at the Alpha Prince's side.
00:53She handed my dowry to Jade and sent Jade to marry the Prince.
00:58Then, she poisoned me with a cup of deadly wine.
01:02Then, I opened my eyes.
01:04I was back.
01:05I had been reborn.
01:07I was in my own chambers.
01:09The day of the mate selection ceremony.
01:12Before any of it had happened.
01:15Miss, it's time to wake up.
01:16My maid's voice jolted me out of my dream.
01:19I touched the birthmark on my waist.
01:21I looked at the sunlight through the window and smiled.
01:25This time, no one gets to destroy me.
01:29When I came downstairs, Jade and my mother were already in the carriage.
01:33Jade was dressed in a gorgeous dress, wearing the gold necklace left to me by my grandmother.
01:39Mother had kept it locked away all along, claiming she was afraid I might ruin it.
01:43Now, it is worn around Jade's neck.
01:46Aunt Miriam said it suits me.
01:48You don't mind, do you, Vera?
01:50I said nothing.
01:51Vera, doesn't your father want you to be chosen as the Alpha Prince's mate?
01:55You're so lucky to have him.
01:57My parents are gone.
01:59No one fights for me.
02:01My mother immediately pulled her close.
02:03Vera, how many times have I told you?
02:05You know your sister has no parents.
02:07Must you upset her?
02:08I met her gaze.
02:11Mother, I have not said a single word.
02:14How did I upset her?
02:16Mom, you gave the gold necklace Grandma left me to Jade.
02:18I didn't say a word.
02:20All I ask is for the bare minimum of fairness.
02:23Auntie, it's my fault for being too sensitive.
02:27Here, you can have mine instead today.
02:30No need.
02:32Consider it borrowed for today.
02:33Please return it when we get home.
02:34Enough!
02:35That necklace was left to me.
02:37I decide who wears it.
02:39This necklace was left to me by Grandma.
02:42You have no right to decide what to do with it.
02:45You!
02:45Those invited to the ceremony were all personally chosen by the Queen of the Moon Goddess.
02:51Jade's invitation had been obtained by my mother, leveraging my father's name and rank.
02:56Once inside the royal grounds, the Luna Queen sent everyone to enjoy the gardens before the ceremony began, and I
03:03walked toward the back garden.
03:05A man wearing a crown sat at a table in the backyard, with a pot of hot tea on it.
03:10Watch out!
03:11My scream alerted the guards.
03:13They shot the arrows down.
03:14But as I rushed forward, I accidentally knocked over the pot on the table, and the hot tea spilled right
03:21onto my waist.
03:22The burn tore through me.
03:24Are you all right?
03:26Guards swarmed in and seized the attacker.
03:29Forgive us, your highness.
03:31This was the Alpha Prince.
03:33In my past life, he had been attacked here before the ceremony.
03:37This time, I came early.
03:39This time, I would rewrite what happened.
03:41He steadied me.
03:43Get a healer!
03:44My maid stumbled over and whispered in my ear.
03:47Miss, you're burned this badly.
03:49What about the ceremony?
03:51The madam sees what you've done.
03:53She'll surely punish you.
03:55Enough!
03:55The Alpha Prince is still here.
03:57Watch your words.
03:58I took my maid and took my leave of the Alpha Prince.
04:02As I turned, I caught the Alpha Prince's expression.
04:05He was still watching me.
04:06I let the corner of my mouth rise.
04:08He was an honorable man, and he would help me through this.
04:12I had the healer wrap the burn, changed into my spare dress, then went to the main hall.
04:18The moon goddess queen was chatting with the noble ladies.
04:21Then she turned to me and held out the scepter.
04:24I have long heard that Duke Arden's daughter is elegant and gracious.
04:28The role of the Alpha Prince's mate belongs to no one but you.
04:31Then Jade stepped forward.
04:33Please, your grace, hear me.
04:35My cousin's purity is compromised.
04:37She is not fit to be the Alpha Prince's mate.
04:40When I was out wandering, I came across this bare sketch being sold by the roadside.
04:44The woman in the paint is my cousin.
04:46What is this?
04:47How do you know the female in this sketch is Vera?
04:49The Luna Queen's brow furrowed.
04:51Because my cousin has a Crescic moon birth hark in exactly that place.
04:54Murmuring broke through the hall.
04:56Eyes turned to me.
04:58A wolf with a ruined reputation could not be a pack leader's mate.
05:02I stepped forward.
05:04Jade!
05:05I said, clearly.
05:06A female's birthmark is a deeply private thing.
05:10How would you know about mine?
05:11Jade's face went red.
05:12Aunt Miriam told me.
05:14My mother would never share something so private about her own daughter with others.
05:20Aunt Miriam can confirm it!
05:22Jade insisted.
05:23Vera.
05:24The Luna Queen looked at me.
05:25Can you speak to this?
05:27Your grace.
05:28Someone has gone to great lengths to shame me.
05:30I ask only for your trust.
05:32I trust you.
05:33She nodded.
05:34Duke Arden runs a strict house.
05:36His daughter would not do such a thing.
05:37Auntie.
05:38You know Vera best.
05:39Tell them.
05:40Vera.
05:41I am your mother.
05:42I cannot help you lie.
05:44How could you do such a thing?
05:46Your grace.
05:47My daughter does have a Crescent moon birthmark on her waist.
05:51Exactly as described.
05:53Please choose someone more worthy for the Alpha Prince.
05:55Every eye in the room found me.
05:57Mom.
05:57Why do it this way?
05:59I am your daughter.
06:01Are you truly willing to destroy me just for Jade's future?
06:03I let tears fall.
06:06Your grace.
06:07I ask you to witness.
06:09Let me prove my innocence.
06:10The Queen's lady-in-waiting helped me loosen the side of my gown.
06:14The hall went silent.
06:17Where the birthmark should have been was a wound raw.
06:20There was nothing to see.
06:23Jade's face turned white.
06:25That injury.
06:26How severe.
06:27Duke Arden's daughter was burned this badly and her mother didn't even notice?
06:30Is she truly her own blood?
06:33You did this on purpose.
06:35You burned yourself to erase the mark.
06:37Your grace, please, don't believe her.
06:40Ask Aunt Miriam.
06:42Vera is the female in that sketch.
06:44She has no integrity.
06:46She cannot be the Alpha Prince's mate.
06:48Jade.
06:48What did I ever do to you?
06:50Why do you want me dead?
06:53Jade.
06:54I have no birthmark.
06:56You have no proof.
06:57Aunt Miriam can confirm it!
06:59She is your aunt.
07:00She loves you.
07:01Of course she'd confirm it.
07:02That is not proof.
07:03Vera.
07:04You are full of lies.
07:06Your grace, I confess.
07:08The female in that sketch is me.
07:10My mother has said it.
07:11My cousin has said it.
07:12Who would believe me now?
07:13Take back the scepter.
07:14Choose someone better for the Alpha Prince.
07:18I would rather die than live with this false name.
07:20Vera!
07:21My mother stepped forward again.
07:22You dare accuse me!
07:24I am your mother!
07:25I can speak to this.
07:27Vera has no crescent moon birthmark.
07:30Alpha Prince Kale walked through the doors.
07:32The hall dropped to its knees.
07:34Your Highness.
07:35Kale crossed the floor and lifted me to my feet.
07:38Earlier today in the back garden, I was attacked by an assailant.
07:42Vera threw herself in front of me to block the arrow
07:46and got scolded by the hot tea from the pot.
07:51I've already sent our healer to tend to her injuries.
07:54She can confirm what she saw.
07:56A female stepped out from behind him.
07:58The healer who had wrapped my burns.
08:00She knelt.
08:02When I treated Miss Vera's injury, I saw no birthmark.
08:05There was nothing there.
08:07Impossible!
08:08She's lying!
08:10She is the royal healer.
08:12Are you saying I am also lying?
08:14He looked at my mother.
08:16And I have never heard of a mother who testifies against her own daughter
08:20to benefit someone else's child.
08:22Mother, Vera is kind and brave.
08:24I will personally investigate who created that sketch and circulated it.
08:28He picked up the scepter.
08:30He walked to me and placed it in my hands.
08:33Let Vera be my mate.
08:35Scheming piece of work.
08:37And the mother, not a single word in her own daughter's defense.
08:42Is Vera truly her blood?
08:45Someone with that kind of heart.
08:47Whoever ends up mated to her will have a miserable life.
08:50Jade and my mother stood there, listening, growing paler by the second.
08:55We rode back to the Duke's estate.
08:57Auntie, I'm the laughingstock of the whole pack now.
09:00How am I supposed to show my face?
09:05Vera, are you satisfied watching your cousin suffer?
09:08Did you think about what would happen to me when you decided to have me killed?
09:12You are the Duke's daughter.
09:13Even disgraced, you have security.
09:16Jade has nothing.
09:17I want you to go back and persuade the Alpha Prince to take Jade as a second mate.
09:21She is clever.
09:22She could be of use to you.
09:24Mother,
09:26you have put in tremendous effort for Jade.
09:29Unfortunately,
09:30the Alpha Prince looks down on this kind of wolf.
09:34You insolent girl.
09:36How dare you speak about Jade that way?
09:39Vera,
09:40please.
09:40I'll do whatever you say.
09:44Please.
09:44Just give me a place to exist.
09:47Besides,
09:47the Alpha Prince will take other females eventually.
09:50Wouldn't you rather have me near you than a stranger?
09:52Jade,
09:53you don't need me to give you anything.
09:55Mother will find you the best possible match.
09:57And if all else fails,
09:58she will take care of you herself for the rest of your life.
10:05What happened at the ceremony had spread through every noble house in the pack.
10:10My mother tried to arrange a marriage for Jade,
10:13but every inquiry was met with rejection.
10:16Jade locked herself in her room for two weeks.
10:19I heard she had smashed things.
10:21My mother bought her jewelry to make up for it.
10:25Jade started going out again.
10:27My mother then came to my room.
10:29You was now the Alpha Prince's confirmed mate.
10:32The estate should hold a celebration in your honor.
10:33Right.
10:34A few days before the celebration,
10:36a man arrived,
10:38claiming to be a distant relation of Jade's.
10:40My mother gave him a room in the outer wing.
10:44He has decent standing,
10:46a scholar's rank.
10:47If Jade agreed,
10:48it might not be a bad match.
10:50Whatever auntie thinks is best.
10:51The celebration was packed.
10:54Jade dressed simply and stood with my mother,
10:57greeting guests.
11:00Midway through,
11:01she walked to my side.
11:07Vera,
11:08I'm dizzy from the wine.
11:12Would you walk me back to my room, please?
11:15I had no choice but to help her up.
11:21Of course, Jade.
11:22Let me help you.
11:28But before we reach to room...
11:33Vera,
11:33I'm too dizzy.
11:35Your room is closer.
11:36Can I rest there a moment?
11:38My room?
11:39So that's the plan.
11:40She wants to stage her trap in my own territory.
11:43Are you sure?
11:44It's not far to yours.
11:46Please,
11:46just for a moment.
11:47I can't walk another step.
11:49All right.
11:50Let's go to my room.
11:52I agreed.
11:52I helped her to my room.
11:54Her maid appeared to brought hot tea.
12:01Miss Vera,
12:02you drank too.
12:03Have some tea to clear your head.
12:05The guests will come looking for you soon.
12:12Drink it, Vera.
12:13Vera, it will help.
12:14I drank it in front of her.
12:15Within moments,
12:16the room tilted.
12:26Jade rushed to my side.
12:28Vera, what's wrong?
12:30Lie down.
12:31Her knees buckled mid-sentence.
12:33She dropped.
12:34My head.
12:39Minutes later,
12:40Jade's maid slipped a man through the side gate.
12:45Go in.
12:46Do what we agreed.
12:57In the front hall,
12:59Jade's maid came running.
13:09Madame!
13:11Madame!
13:12Please,
13:13someone help!
13:14It's the master!
13:15What is this behavior?
13:17Pull yourself together!
13:18What happened?
13:19There's a male,
13:20a stranger,
13:21in Miss Vera's chambers.
13:22Please come quickly!
13:23Oh!
13:24Oh my god!
13:26What nonsense are you spewing?
13:29Who dares enter Vera's rooms?
13:30How did an outsider get into the inner wing?
13:33Could she be meeting someone secretly?
13:35She's about to become the Alpha's mate.
13:37How could she do something like this?
13:39The Alpha will have them both killed.
13:41A Duke's daughter behaving like this?
13:43It's utterly shameless.
13:46Follow me.
13:51If Vera has truly done something like this,
13:54I will deal with her myself.
13:56Today.
14:01The procession followed her toward my room.
14:04My room was locked.
14:06Oh my god.
14:09Standing outside,
14:10the women could hear sounds from within.
14:15Several turned red.
14:18The younger ones looked away.
14:19Under her own roof?
14:21Shameless.
14:23Absolutely disgusting.
14:26My mother set her jaw.
14:30Kick it open.
14:32Kick it open.
14:34The door burst in.
14:37Oh!
14:43Two figures tangled on the bed.
14:46Half the women covered their eyes.
14:48Several screamed.
14:49Who is that man?
14:50My mother lunged forward.
14:53Drag her out here!
14:54Now!
14:55Somebody tapped her shoulder.
14:57She turned.
14:59I was standing behind the crowd.
15:02If you're looking for me...
15:03I said pleasantly,
15:04I'm here.
15:06I'm here.
15:09Jade said she was dizzy
15:11and wanted to rest in my room.
15:13Once she was settled,
15:14I went to the kitchen
15:15to have them make a sobering broth.
15:17I nodded toward the maid behind me
15:18who was holding a tray.
15:20My mother shoved to the front of the crowd.
15:22Get her decent!
15:24But no one wanted to get close enough
15:25to separate them.
15:29My maid picked up the wash basin
15:33and threw cold water across the bed.
15:41Jade came to awareness all at once
15:47and screamed.
15:51Then fainted.
15:53She wept into my mother's arms.
15:57It was Vera!
15:59She did this to me!
16:01I was in the kitchen.
16:03You brought a man you invited into this house.
16:06And this is my fault?
16:07My friend stood up immediately.
16:10I heard you say you were dizzy
16:11and ask Vera to help you to your room.
16:14Vera is about to become the Alpha's mate.
16:16Why would she throw that away
16:18for a scholar with nothing to his name?
16:21Sounds like someone tried to trap someone else
16:23and fell into their own snare.
16:25This happened in your room.
16:27How can you claim you had nothing to do with it?
16:29She was alone in your chambers.
16:31You should have stayed with her!
16:33She's the one who asked to use my room.
16:34I looked at the man still sitting on the bed.
16:37How did you get into my room?
16:40He hung his head.
16:41A maid gave me a note.
16:43She said if I did what it seemed like,
16:45I'd have a good life ahead of me.
16:49That's not true!
16:51I didn't send that note!
16:52I'm not marrying you!
16:54I am meant for better than this!
16:56I am not mating a man with nothing!
16:59But no pack would take her now.
17:01She crawled to my feet.
17:04Vera!
17:05Please!
17:06Just let me come with you!
17:08I'll be a servant!
17:10Just don't leave me here!
17:13Jade.
17:14The Alpha's residence is not a shelter for strays.
17:19Mother will provide for you.
17:21You'll be fine.
17:23My mother's hand again.
17:25The same cheek.
17:28You dare talk about Jade that way!
17:31The front doors of the estate open.
17:33Duke Arden.
17:34I hadn't seen him in years.
17:37Father.
17:38In my past life,
17:40my mother had told him I died by my own hand.
17:43He had gone grey overnight.
17:45He crossed to me.
17:47His hands cupped my face.
17:49His eyes were wet.
17:51Vera.
17:52I'm back.
17:56I know everything.
17:57No one will touch you again.
17:59He turned and looked at my mother.
18:01His hand came down across my mother's face.
18:04Miriam.
18:04You destroyed your own daughter's reputation
18:07to clear the path for your niece.
18:09My daughter, my house's heir,
18:11and you let her be treated this way!
18:13You hit me?
18:15I raised your daughter.
18:17You come back after years away and you hit me?
18:20Raised her?
18:22You raised your niece.
18:24My daughter survived despite you!
18:26You think I don't know what you've done.
18:32You misunderstand me.
18:34I only meant to teach Vera some humility.
18:37I never truly meant to harm her.
18:39My father's guard dragged someone through the door.
18:42An artist.
18:45Tell them everything.
18:47The Duchess paid me a hundred silvers.
18:50She gave me a likeness of the young me, young miss
18:54and told me to draw a bare sketch.
18:55I'm just an artist.
18:57I swear I don't know anything else.
19:00No.
19:00No, it wasn't me.
19:02He's lying.
19:03He's trying to frame me.
19:06The bank's coat is untouched, my lord.
19:09And she gave me this necklace.
19:11It was Miriam's.
19:12I had seen her wear it.
19:14Now it was in the artist's hands.
19:16She collapsed into the chair.
19:18Nothing came out.
19:21My father looked at her with something past anger.
19:22You are not fit to be in this house.
19:24Get out!
19:25Take Jade with you.
19:29I was confused.
19:32One mistake.
19:33Vera is my daughter.
19:35You know I love her.
19:36I know exactly what you are.
19:40When you came to us, Vera's mother pitted you.
19:43She trusted you to care for Vera.
19:46She trusted only you.
19:51Miriam was not my birth mother?
19:57That is my failure.
19:59I should have told you.
20:02Uncle, please don't send us away.
20:03I won't take anything of Vera's again.
20:05I promise.
20:12The guards took them both.
20:14My father went to the Alpha King that day
20:16and confessed that his household had been in disorder.
20:19The Alpha King spoke well of my father,
20:21of the years he had given the pack.
20:23The Luna Queen heard the full story and shook her head.
20:26No wonder she was so cold to Vera.
20:29I had wondered how any mother could treat her own daughter that way.
20:32She sent Kale personally to escort my father home and to check on me.
20:37My relationship with Kale grows deeper and deeper.
20:40Kale brings me gifts every single time.
20:42Miriam came several times, only to be turned away by the gate guards.
20:46Eventually, she stopped coming.
20:48Three months later, my bonding ceremony with Kale arrived.
20:52The betrothal gifts were extraordinary.
20:55Among them, a pair of white wolves, living ones.
20:58Kale had tracked them himself.
21:00When they were brought in, my father laughed for the first time in years.
21:05He told everyone who would listen what a fine male the Alpha Prince was
21:09and how moved he was by the honor done to our family.
21:12On the day I left, my father packed half the estate into my dowry.
21:16The bonding ceremony drew the whole pack.
21:19Kale rode to the estate to claim me, straight back on a great dark horse.
21:23We were happy.
21:24I carried his pup within the year.
21:26He took me to the church on the edge of the forest to pray for the safety of me and
21:30our child.
21:30I caught sight of them at the edge of the forest.
21:33Miriam and Jade, plain gray robes, brooms in their hands,
21:36sweeping snow from the steps so that the worshippers coming to pray wouldn't slip.
21:40It was deep winter.
21:42Their robes were thin.
21:43When the Alpha Prince and his mate arrived, the crowd knelt on both sides of the path.
21:48They didn't look up.
21:49Whatever had happened to them since the day they left, it had not been easy.
21:53That was clear enough.
21:54I looked up at the statues and prayed for my child.
21:57Kale spoke quietly beside me.
21:59I had someone look into Jade's background.
22:03She's Miriam's biological daughter, born before Miriam came to your family.
22:07I looked at him.
22:08You investigated Jade's past.
22:10He looked down at me.
22:12Miriam treated you badly your whole life.
22:14I knew it hurt.
22:16I rested my hand on my stomach.
22:17A mother favoring her own child.
22:19That's not so strange.
22:21What's past is past.
22:23I'm about to be a mother yourself.
22:25Let it go.
22:26Kale took my hand and held it.
22:28Good.
22:30I'll be here.
22:31For you.
22:32For our pup.
22:33Every year.
22:34Every season.
22:35I'm not going anywhere.
22:36I never had Miriam or Jade killed.
22:39A life of duty, sweeping snow, burning incense, stripped of everything they had wanted.
22:44For women like them, who had always wanted more, that was punishment enough.
22:48I never had to leave a napkin, but I never had to leave.
22:49But ultimately gave me the
22:49And thank you for your help.
22:49We all had to do more.
