Transcript

00:00:16Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies.

00:00:20My Alpha Cain had an affair with his mistress Beta the day before our mating ceremony.

00:00:26He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing, unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly precede

00:00:34every betrayal we uttered.

00:00:36Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.

00:00:42In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate's ceremony.

00:00:46The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too

00:00:51long.

00:00:52Good.

00:00:53My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.

00:00:58Rest assured, no one will question it.

00:01:01We'll simulate a death by silver.

00:01:03No wolf survives that kind of damage.

00:01:06Only then, did I let out a slow breath.

00:01:10After confirming the remaining details, I hung up, and pushed open the door to the private room.

00:01:16The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.

00:01:19Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.

00:01:24The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Cain.

00:01:29Cain, seated at the center, rose immediately.

00:01:33His long fingers closed around my hand.

00:01:36His eyes filled with concern.

00:01:38His voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.

00:01:41My little wolf, where did you go?

00:01:45I can smell fear on you.

00:01:47He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze, and forced down the bitterness rising

00:01:54in my chest.

00:01:54I shook my head.

00:01:57I'm fine.

00:01:58Let's just keep going.

00:01:59Still holding my hand, Cain led me back to my seat.

00:02:03The room gradually came back to life, until someone spoke up.

00:02:08Cain, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond.

00:02:12So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?

00:02:15My nails dug into my palm.

00:02:18Being the useless one who couldn't shift.

00:02:20I'd long since gotten used to names like that.

00:02:24But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Cain.

00:02:32Someone beside the speaker nudged him.

00:02:35Hey, watch it.

00:02:36Your Luna's right here.

00:02:38He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.

00:02:41What's the problem?

00:02:43It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.

00:02:47I'm just curious how Cain plans to deal with his little bitch.

00:02:51All eyes turned to Cain.

00:02:53A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.

00:02:57I'll keep her.

00:02:58He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.

00:03:04She's just a pet I keep around.

00:03:06My only mate is Aria.

00:03:08He smirked faintly.

00:03:10But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.

00:03:14So I've kept it well hidden.

00:03:17Even after the mate bond.

00:03:19I won't let her find out.

00:03:21His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.

00:03:27Watch your mouths.

00:03:28If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.

00:03:33These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked them.

00:03:38If anything, they sounded amused.

00:03:41Cain's got it bad.

00:03:43Can't even let his little toy get exposed.

00:03:46Well, she can't shift.

00:03:47Figures she'd be fragile.

00:03:50Someone's eyes lit up.

00:03:51Curiosity getting the better of him.

00:03:54Cain, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at home?

00:04:04Cain chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.

00:04:08Of course.

00:04:10It's been wild.

00:04:13The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.

00:04:16Cain really knows how to play.

00:04:20A useless one like that?

00:04:22Easy to fool.

00:04:24Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.

00:04:30Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.

00:04:35Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.

00:04:40No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.

00:04:43My knuckles had gone white.

00:04:45No one knew.

00:04:47Three days ago, I had my awakening.

00:04:52And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.

00:04:56I would never complete a mate bond with Cain.

00:05:00On the day of the ceremony, the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.

00:05:06A fake one.

00:05:07Cain glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.

00:05:12My little wolf, why aren't you eating?

00:05:16I looked at him.

00:05:17At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern and forced a faint smile.

00:05:25What were you all talking about that got you so excited?

00:05:28Cain smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.

00:05:33They were just saying they envy, envy our bond.

00:05:37That will be the most devoted pair there is.

00:05:41Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.

00:05:45I caught every single one of them.

00:05:47The mockery.

00:05:48The cruelty.

00:05:49It burned.

00:05:51My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver.

00:05:55The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.

00:05:58They had been talking about him and that woman.

00:06:01Yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.

00:06:05Cain, I never realized you could lie so easily.

00:06:10I set my silver fork down and stood.

00:06:13I didn't want to hear another word of it.

00:06:15The moment I moved to leave, Cain was on his feet.

00:06:19A flicker of panic crossing his face.

00:06:22Little wolf, what's wrong?

00:06:25I shook my head.

00:06:27My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.

00:06:31I'm tired.

00:06:33I want to go back to the pack house.

00:06:35I didn't wait for his response.

00:06:38I turned and walked out.

00:06:40Out on the street, I looked up

00:06:43and saw the massive LED screen across the road.

00:06:46A mating display was playing.

00:06:49Aria, be my mate.

00:06:52The words stretched across the center

00:06:55in bold impossible to miss letters.

00:06:58People passing by slowed down.

00:07:00Their voices full of envy.

00:07:04Oh my god, I heard Alpha Cain's girl can't shift

00:07:08so he rented the biggest screen in the city

00:07:10just so she could clearly see the words

00:07:11be my mate.

00:07:13That's insanely romantic.

00:07:16He treats that girl so well.

00:07:18After the mate bond,

00:07:20he's going to be the perfect Alpha.

00:07:23I stood there,

00:07:24the subject of their admiration,

00:07:26and let out a quiet,

00:07:28self-mocking smile.

00:07:30A week ago,

00:07:31I would have reacted the same way.

00:07:34I would have believed in Cain's love

00:07:36without question.

00:07:38I was born into a declining pack.

00:07:41From the moment I came into this world,

00:07:44I couldn't shift.

00:07:46Among the werewolf kind,

00:07:48that made me a disgrace.

00:07:50A failure.

00:07:52Cain entered my life under those circumstances.

00:07:56He claimed it was love at first sight

00:07:58and pursued me relentlessly.

00:08:00But I had seen this kind of attention before.

00:08:04Cruel games disguised as affection.

00:08:07So I avoided him.

00:08:0999 times he confessed.

00:08:1299 times I turned him down.

00:08:16Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked.

00:08:19He threw himself over me without hesitation.

00:08:22Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade,

00:08:26he didn't move.

00:08:27He held his position,

00:08:29shielding me with his body.

00:08:31When he woke up in the hospital,

00:08:33his condition was so weak

00:08:35he could barely maintain human form.

00:08:37And yet,

00:08:38the first thing he did when he saw me

00:08:40was reach out and gently touch my face.

00:08:45My little wolf,

00:08:46as long as you're safe.

00:08:48That was the moment everything changed.

00:08:51For the first time,

00:08:52I believed that even someone like me,

00:08:55someone who couldn't shift,

00:08:56could be worth risking everything for.

00:08:59The walls around my heart cracked open for him.

00:09:02The wound from the Silver never fully healed.

00:09:06It left behind a permanent circular scar.

00:09:09Every time I saw it,

00:09:11my heart would ache in a way

00:09:13that felt dangerously close to love.

00:09:16For five years,

00:09:18he never wavered.

00:09:19He treated me with the same devotion,

00:09:22the same care,

00:09:23as if I were the only one who mattered.

00:09:28Even when the pack opposed us,

00:09:30he stood his ground,

00:09:31and asked me to be his mate.

00:09:34And for that upcoming ceremony,

00:09:37I wanted to give him something real.

00:09:39Something more.

00:09:41I risked my life to undergo blood awakening,

00:09:44just so I could truly experience his wild side

00:09:47during the mate ritual.

00:09:48If it failed,

00:09:50I would have died.

00:09:51But I survived.

00:09:54Not only that,

00:09:55I gained something rare.

00:09:57Empathic sense.

00:09:59I decided to keep it a secret.

00:10:01I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.

00:10:05But on the very day I awakened,

00:10:08everything fell apart.

00:10:10Through that new ability,

00:10:11I sensed him.

00:10:13Kane.

00:10:14Talking to his beta pet.

00:10:16Their voices were intimate,

00:10:18careless,

00:10:19filled with open flirtation.

00:10:22That was when I learned the truth.

00:10:24He had already betrayed our bond.

00:10:27For an entire year.

00:10:29And I had known nothing.

00:10:31A sharp pain twisted through my chest,

00:10:34forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.

00:10:38His words from earlier echoed in my mind,

00:10:41over and over again.

00:10:43Even with the mate ceremony approaching,

00:10:45he had no intention of ending that relationship.

00:10:49Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?

00:10:54The winter wind cut through me,

00:10:56cold and merciless.

00:10:58But my mind had never been clearer.

00:11:01I would show Kane the truth.

00:11:03Lies don't last forever.

00:11:06And I would never forgive betrayal.

00:11:08I took a slow breath,

00:11:11forcing down the ache in my chest.

00:11:13Just as I was about to head back,

00:11:16a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.

00:11:20Kane's scent surrounded me at once,

00:11:23rich with cedar,

00:11:24and thick with possessiveness.

00:11:26It pressed in from all sides,

00:11:28leaving no space to breathe.

00:11:30Little wolf,

00:11:31why didn't you wait for me?

00:11:33Are you in a bad mood today?

00:11:35Then let me take you to see your mate dress.

00:11:38The custom piece just arrived.

00:11:41He pulled me into his arms,

00:11:43his hands sliding up to the back of my neck,

00:11:46gently stroking the spot where his marking remained.

00:11:52I don't feel like going.

00:11:53Just pick it yourself.

00:11:56I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.

00:11:59There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.

00:12:03Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone.

00:12:06His voice softened,

00:12:08almost cautious.

00:12:10Little wolf,

00:12:12why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?

00:12:15Do you not want to bond with me anymore?

00:12:18I looked at him,

00:12:19at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.

00:12:23I almost told him the truth.

00:12:25Yes,

00:12:26I don't want this anymore.

00:12:28You were the one who betrayed us first.

00:12:31You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.

00:12:34You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.

00:12:38And now you're asking me why?

00:12:41But I wasn't ready to expose everything,

00:12:44not yet.

00:12:46At the dress boutique,

00:12:48the moment we stepped inside,

00:12:50an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress prepared in advance.

00:12:55Miss,

00:12:56the gown Alpha Kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.

00:12:59Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.

00:13:03The dress was pure white,

00:13:05flowing and luminous.

00:13:07Moonstones were set into the bodice,

00:13:10casting a soft,

00:13:11sacred glow.

00:13:13Kane wrapped an arm around my waist.

00:13:15My little wolf,

00:13:17do you like it?

00:13:19I couldn't deny it.

00:13:20The design was exactly my taste.

00:13:23But no matter how beautiful it was,

00:13:26it couldn't mend what had already been broken.

00:13:29Look closer,

00:13:30Kane said softly,

00:13:32at the center of the moonstone.

00:13:34I followed his gaze.

00:13:36Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.

00:13:39A and K,

00:13:41forever.

00:13:42The moon goddess is our witness.

00:13:45My love for you will last forever, too.

00:13:48I stared at the stone,

00:13:50at the tiny letters carved into its heart.

00:13:53Then I turned to him,

00:13:55and met his eyes.

00:13:57Eyes filled with something that looked like love.

00:14:01Will your love for me really last forever?

00:14:06A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.

00:14:10I, Kane, swear,

00:14:12swear that I will love Arya forever.

00:14:15For my entire life.

00:14:18If I break this oath,

00:14:19may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.

00:14:23Such a solemn vow.

00:14:25And yet,

00:14:26it couldn't warm a heart

00:14:28that had already gone cold.

00:14:31He had already broken it.

00:14:33And still,

00:14:34he kept acting.

00:14:36Didn't he get tired?

00:14:38I turned my face away,

00:14:40unwilling to look at him any longer.

00:14:43Kane seemed about to say something else,

00:14:45but his phone suddenly rang.

00:14:47His expression shifted,

00:14:48just slightly,

00:14:50before he stepped aside to answer.

00:14:52When he returned,

00:14:54there was a trace of apology on his face.

00:14:57Little wolf,

00:14:58something urgent just came up.

00:15:00Go ahead and try the dress.

00:15:02If anything needs adjusting,

00:15:03just tell the staff.

00:15:05He laughed in a hurry,

00:15:06not even waiting for a response.

00:15:10I watched his retreating figure,

00:15:12a bitter thought settling in.

00:15:15Kane had never walked away from me for pack business.

00:15:18And just before he left,

00:15:20I had caught it.

00:15:22That flicker in his eyes.

00:15:25Raw,

00:15:26instinctive desire.

00:15:28Work?

00:15:30Hardly.

00:15:31He was going to see her.

00:15:33When I returned to the pack house,

00:15:35I immediately felt it.

00:15:37The slight dip in the mattress.

00:15:40The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla,

00:15:43and lingering scent,

00:15:45thick with unmistakable desire.

00:15:47The thought hit me all at once.

00:15:50Kane and that beta had been here,

00:15:52on this bed.

00:15:54Entwined.

00:15:55My stomach twisted violently.

00:15:57I rushed into the bathroom and threw up,

00:16:00unable to stop.

00:16:02Kane had just come back.

00:16:03The moment he saw me like that,

00:16:06panic flashed across his face.

00:16:08Little wolf,

00:16:09did you eat something bad?

00:16:11I'll call a healer right now.

00:16:15I grabbed his wrist,

00:16:17my eyes still red.

00:16:18I'm fine.

00:16:19I just...

00:16:20thought of something disgusting.

00:16:23Kane dropped to his knees beside me,

00:16:26gently patting my back,

00:16:28his expression full of distress.

00:16:30Don't think about things like that.

00:16:33Seeing you like this,

00:16:35it hurts me too.

00:16:36I looked down at him,

00:16:38at the open collar of his shirt,

00:16:40and the marks on his skin.

00:16:43Bite marks,

00:16:44fresh,

00:16:45obvious.

00:16:46Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.

00:16:49How strong did Kane have to be

00:16:52to carry another woman's marks on his body

00:16:54and still look at me

00:16:55like I was the only one he cared about?

00:16:58His voice grew sharper,

00:17:01more agitated.

00:17:03Who did this to you?

00:17:04Who made maid?

00:17:06My little wolf like this.

00:17:09Tell me.

00:17:10I'll tear them apart.

00:17:12A bitter smile tugged at my lips.

00:17:16Kane,

00:17:17you're the one who did this to me.

00:17:20Sometime deep into the night,

00:17:22I woke to the sound of a low,

00:17:24restrained growl.

00:17:25Half asleep,

00:17:27I reached out,

00:17:28instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.

00:17:31But the bed was empty.

00:17:33I sat up and went downstairs.

00:17:35As I reached the second floor,

00:17:38I heard it.

00:17:39A woman's breathless voice.

00:17:42Soft,

00:17:43broken.

00:17:43I froze for a second,

00:17:46forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest,

00:17:49then walked toward the guest room.

00:17:51The door was wide open.

00:17:53Moonlight spilled across the room,

00:17:56illuminating two bodies tangled together.

00:17:59Inside, Kane was bare from the waist up.

00:18:02The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.

00:18:05The long skirt pushed up to her waist.

00:18:08Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.

00:18:12Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck,

00:18:15her voice unsteady.

00:18:17Alpha,

00:18:18the dress I just got today,

00:18:20you already torn it.

00:18:22Kane let out a low chuckle,

00:18:24leaning in close to her ear,

00:18:26his voice rough.

00:18:27You wore it for me,

00:18:30didn't you?

00:18:32I even had the designer make one just for you.

00:18:36So tonight,

00:18:37shouldn't you be satisfying me?

00:18:40She clung to him,

00:18:41her voice breaking,

00:18:43hoarse.

00:18:44Alpha,

00:18:45I can't,

00:18:47I can't take ache anymore.

00:18:50Then,

00:18:50breathless,

00:18:51she tilted her head back.

00:18:54What if Aria sees us?

00:18:56Kane stilled,

00:18:57his expression turning cold as he cut her off.

00:19:01She's useless.

00:19:02She doesn't understand anything.

00:19:04Don't you dare tell her about us.

00:19:06The beta traced circles against his chest,

00:19:09her tone soft,

00:19:10almost hurt.

00:19:11I know.

00:19:13I just,

00:19:15she's about to become your mate,

00:19:17and I'll always have to stay hidden.

00:19:21It makes me sad.

00:19:23Kane's expression softened slightly.

00:19:26You jealous little thing.

00:19:28I already brought you into this house.

00:19:30Isn't that enough?

00:19:32Don't worry.

00:19:33Even after the mate bond,

00:19:35I won't leave you.

00:19:36Whatever area has,

00:19:38you'll have too.

00:19:40Moonlight lit up my face,

00:19:42where I stood outside the door.

00:19:44I covered my mouth,

00:19:46but the tears were already falling,

00:19:49blurring everything.

00:19:51Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades,

00:19:55carving wound after wound into my chest.

00:19:58I turned and ran,

00:20:01barefoot,

00:20:02straight out into the rain.

00:20:04Cold water soaked through me,

00:20:06but I didn't stop.

00:20:07I just needed to get away,

00:20:09as far away as possible.

00:20:11Through the haze,

00:20:13I thought I saw him,

00:20:14a younger Kane,

00:20:17the one I had once loved.

00:20:19His eyes were clear,

00:20:22sincere,

00:20:22filled with something real.

00:20:25Little Wolf,

00:20:26leave him.

00:20:28Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore,

00:20:30and never forgive him.

00:20:33My vision burned,

00:20:34as I looked at that memory.

00:20:36At the Alpha,

00:20:38I had once given my heart to.

00:20:41Okay.

00:20:42I whispered.

00:20:43I will leave you,

00:20:46and I will never forgive you.

00:20:50Five years into our marriage,

00:20:52it all turned out to be lies.

00:20:54My Alpha Kane had an affair with his mistress Beta,

00:20:57the day before our mating ceremony.

00:20:59He assumed I,

00:21:01being a wolfless wretch,

00:21:03couldn't hear a thing,

00:21:04unaware that I had awakened,

00:21:05and could clearly precede every betrayal we uttered.

00:21:10Luna,

00:21:11we've prepared the substitute blood,

00:21:13and staged the fake death scene,

00:21:14exactly as you requested.

00:21:16In ten days,

00:21:17your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.

00:21:20The voice on the other end,

00:21:21finally took the edge off the anger,

00:21:23I'd been holding back for far too long.

00:21:26Good.

00:21:26My voice came out low,

00:21:28a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.

00:21:31Rest assured,

00:21:33no one will question it.

00:21:34We'll simulate a death by silver.

00:21:37No wolf survives that kind of damage.

00:21:40Only then,

00:21:41did I let out a slow breath.

00:21:43After confirming the remaining details,

00:21:46I hung up,

00:21:47and pushed open the door,

00:21:48to the private room.

00:21:50The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.

00:21:53Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.

00:21:58The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Kane.

00:22:02Kane,

00:22:03seated at the center,

00:22:05rose immediately.

00:22:06His long fingers closed around my hand,

00:22:09his eyes filled with concern.

00:22:12His voice dropped,

00:22:13rough with Alpha authority.

00:22:15My little wolf,

00:22:17where did you go?

00:22:18I can smell fear on you.

00:22:21He started to pull me away,

00:22:22but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze,

00:22:25and forced down the bitterness rising in my chest.

00:22:28I shook my head.

00:22:30I'm fine.

00:22:31Let's just keep going.

00:22:33Still holding my hand,

00:22:35Kane led me back to my seat.

00:22:37The room gradually came back to life,

00:22:39until someone spoke up.

00:22:41Kane,

00:22:42you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond.

00:22:46So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?

00:22:49My nails dug into my palm.

00:22:51Being the useless one who couldn't shift,

00:22:54I'd long since gotten used to names like that.

00:22:57But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent,

00:23:01lingering on Kane.

00:23:05Someone beside the speaker nudged him.

00:23:09Hey, watch it.

00:23:10Your Luna's right here.

00:23:11He just shrugged,

00:23:13completely unconcerned.

00:23:15What's the problem?

00:23:16It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.

00:23:20I'm just curious how Kane plans to deal with his little bitch.

00:23:24All eyes turned to Kane.

00:23:27A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.

00:23:30I'll keep her.

00:23:32He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.

00:23:37She's just a pet I keep around.

00:23:39My only mate is Aria.

00:23:42He smirked faintly.

00:23:44But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.

00:23:47So I've kept it well hidden.

00:23:51Even after the mate bond,

00:23:53I won't let her find out.

00:23:55His gaze swept across the room,

00:23:57a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.

00:24:00Watch your mouths.

00:24:02If anyone slips up in front of her,

00:24:04I'll tear you apart.

00:24:06These were all dominant alphas from the same circle,

00:24:10and none of this shocked them.

00:24:12If anything, they sounded amused.

00:24:15Kane's got it bad.

00:24:16Can't even let his little toy get exposed.

00:24:19Well, she can't shift.

00:24:21Figures she'd be fragile.

00:24:23Someone's eyes lit up.

00:24:28If Aria can't sense anything,

00:24:31then you and that beta pet,

00:24:34have you ever, you know, at home?

00:24:37Kane chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.

00:24:41Of course.

00:24:44It's been wild.

00:24:46The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.

00:24:50Kane really knows how to play!

00:24:54A useless one like that?

00:24:56Easy to fool.

00:24:58Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.

00:25:03Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.

00:25:09Their laughter cut through the room,

00:25:11sharp and vicious.

00:25:13No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.

00:25:17My knuckles had gone white.

00:25:19No one knew.

00:25:21Three days ago, I had my awakening.

00:25:26And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.

00:25:29I would never complete a mate bond with Kane.

00:25:33On the day of the ceremony,

00:25:35the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.

00:25:39A fake one.

00:25:41Kane glanced at my untouched shrimp

00:25:43and immediately turned back to me.

00:25:46My little wolf, why aren't you eating?

00:25:49I looked at him.

00:25:51At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing

00:25:53but carefully crafted concern

00:25:56and forced a faint smile.

00:25:58What were you all talking about that got you so excited?

00:26:02Kane smiled softly

00:26:03and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.

00:26:07They were just saying they envy envy our bond.

00:26:10That will be the most devoted pair there is.

00:26:14Inside the private room,

00:26:16people exchanged knowing looks.

00:26:18I caught every single one of them.

00:26:20The mockery.

00:26:21The cruelty.

00:26:23It burned.

00:26:25My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver.

00:26:29The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.

00:26:32They had been talking about him and that woman.

00:26:35Yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.

00:26:39Kane,

00:26:40I never realized you could lie so easily.

00:26:43I set my silver fork down and stood.

00:26:46I didn't want to hear another word of it.

00:26:49The moment I moved to leave,

00:26:51Kane was on his feet.

00:26:53A flicker of panic crossing his face.

00:26:56Little wolf, what's wrong?

00:26:58I shook my head.

00:27:00My voice came out soft,

00:27:02barely more than a breath.

00:27:04I'm tired.

00:27:07I want to go back to the pack house.

00:27:09I didn't wait for his response.

00:27:11I turned and walked out.

00:27:14Out on the street,

00:27:15I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.

00:27:20A mating display was playing.

00:27:23Aria,

00:27:24be my mate.

00:27:25The words stretched across the center in bold,

00:27:29impossible to miss letters.

00:27:31People passing by slowed down.

00:27:34Their voices full of envy.

00:27:38Oh my god,

00:27:39I heard Alpha Kane's girl can't shift,

00:27:41so he rented the biggest screen in the city

00:27:43just so she could clearly see the words,

00:27:45be my mate.

00:27:47That's insanely romantic.

00:27:50He treats that girl so well.

00:27:52After the mate bond,

00:27:53he's going to be the perfect alpha.

00:27:56I stood there,

00:27:58the subject of their admiration,

00:28:00and let out a quiet,

00:28:02self-mocking smile.

00:28:04A week ago,

00:28:05I would have reacted the same way.

00:28:08I would have believed in Kane's love without question.

00:28:12I was born into a declining pack.

00:28:15From the moment I came into this world,

00:28:18I couldn't shift.

00:28:20Among the werewolf kind,

00:28:22that made me a disgrace.

00:28:24A failure.

00:28:26Kane entered my life under those circumstances.

00:28:29He claimed it was love at first sight

00:28:32and pursued me relentlessly.

00:28:34But I had seen this kind of attention before.

00:28:38Cruel games disguised as affection.

00:28:41So I avoided him.

00:28:4399 times he confessed.

00:28:4699 times I turned him down.

00:28:49Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked.

00:28:53He threw himself over me without hesitation.

00:28:56Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade,

00:28:59he didn't move.

00:29:01He held his position,

00:29:02shielding me with his body.

00:29:05When he woke up in the hospital,

00:29:07his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.

00:29:10And yet,

00:29:12the first thing he did when he saw me

00:29:14was reach out and gently touch my face.

00:29:18My little wolf,

00:29:19as long as you're safe.

00:29:22That was the moment everything changed.

00:29:24For the first time,

00:29:26I believed that even someone like me,

00:29:28someone who couldn't shift,

00:29:30could be worth risking everything for.

00:29:32The walls around my heart cracked open for him.

00:29:36The wound from the Silver never fully healed.

00:29:40It left behind a permanent circular scar.

00:29:43Every time I saw it,

00:29:45my heart would ache in a way

00:29:46that felt dangerously close to love.

00:29:50For five years,

00:29:51he never wavered.

00:29:53He treated me with the same devotion,

00:29:55the same care,

00:29:57as if I were the only one who mattered.

00:30:01Even when the pack opposed us,

00:30:03he stood his ground

00:30:05and asked me to be his mate.

00:30:07And for that upcoming ceremony,

00:30:10I wanted to give him something real.

00:30:13Something more.

00:30:14I risked my life to undergo blood awakening,

00:30:17just so I could truly experience his wild side

00:30:20during the mate ritual.

00:30:22If it failed,

00:30:23I would have died.

00:30:25But I survived.

00:30:27Not only that,

00:30:28I gained something rare.

00:30:31Empathic sense.

00:30:32I decided to keep it a secret.

00:30:35I wanted to surprise him

00:30:36on the day of the ceremony.

00:30:39But on the very day I awakened,

00:30:41everything fell apart.

00:30:43Through that new ability,

00:30:45I sensed him.

00:30:47Kane.

00:30:48Talking to his beta pet.

00:30:49Their voices were intimate,

00:30:52careless,

00:30:52filled with open flirtation.

00:30:55That was when I learned the truth.

00:30:58He had already betrayed our bond.

00:31:00For an entire year.

00:31:02And I had known nothing.

00:31:05A sharp pain twisted through my chest,

00:31:08forcing me to crouch down

00:31:09and wrap my arms around myself.

00:31:12His words from earlier echoed in my mind,

00:31:15over and over again.

00:31:16Even with the mate ceremony approaching,

00:31:19he had no intention of ending that relationship.

00:31:22Did he really think I was so worthless

00:31:25that he could deceive me forever?

00:31:27The winter wind cut through me,

00:31:30cold and merciless.

00:31:32But my mind had never been clearer.

00:31:35I would show Kane the truth.

00:31:37Lies don't last forever.

00:31:40And I would never forgive betrayal.

00:31:42I took a slow breath,

00:31:44forcing down the ache in my chest.

00:31:47Just as I was about to head back,

00:31:49a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.

00:31:54Kane's scent surrounded me at once,

00:31:56rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.

00:31:59It pressed in from all sides,

00:32:01leaving no space to breathe.

00:32:04Little wolf,

00:32:05why didn't you wait for me?

00:32:06Are you in a bad mood today?

00:32:09Then let me take you to see your mate dress.

00:32:12The custom piece just arrived.

00:32:14He pulled me into his arms,

00:32:16his hands sliding up to the back of my neck,

00:32:19gently stroking the spot where his marking remained.

00:32:25I don't feel like going.

00:32:27Just pick it yourself.

00:32:29I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.

00:32:33There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.

00:32:37Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone.

00:32:40His voice softened,

00:32:41almost cautious.

00:32:43Little wolf,

00:32:45why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?

00:32:48Do you not want to bond with me anymore?

00:32:52I looked at him.

00:32:53At the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.

00:32:56I almost told him the truth.

00:32:59Yes,

00:33:00I don't want this anymore.

00:33:02You were the one who betrayed us first.

00:33:04You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.

00:33:07You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.

00:33:12And now you're asking me why?

00:33:15But I wasn't ready to expose everything.

00:33:18Not yet.

00:33:20At the dress boutique,

00:33:22the moment we stepped inside,

00:33:23an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress prepared in advance.

00:33:28Miss,

00:33:29the gown Alpha Kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.

00:33:33Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.

00:33:37The dress was pure white,

00:33:39flowing and luminous.

00:33:41Moonstones were set into the bodice,

00:33:43casting a soft,

00:33:45sacred glow.

00:33:46Kane wrapped an arm around my waist.

00:33:49My little wolf.

00:33:50Do you like it?

00:33:52I couldn't deny it.

00:33:54The design was exactly my taste.

00:33:57But no matter how beautiful it was,

00:33:59it couldn't mend what had already been broken.

00:34:03Look closer,

00:34:04Kane said softly.

00:34:05At the center of the moonstone.

00:34:07I followed his gaze.

00:34:10Engraved deep within the gem

00:34:11were the letters.

00:34:13A and K.

00:34:14Forever.

00:34:16The moon goddess is our witness.

00:34:19My love for you will last forever too.

00:34:22I stared at the stone,

00:34:24at the tiny letters carved into its heart.

00:34:27Then I turned to him

00:34:29and met his eyes.

00:34:30Eyes filled with something that looked like love.

00:34:34Will your love for me really last forever?

00:34:39A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.

00:34:44I Kane, swear, swear that I will love Arya forever.

00:34:49For my entire life.

00:34:51If I break this oath,

00:34:53may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.

00:34:57Such a solemn vow.

00:34:58And yet,

00:35:00it couldn't warm a heart

00:35:02that had already gone cold.

00:35:04He had already broken it.

00:35:06And still,

00:35:08he kept acting.

00:35:09Didn't he get tired?

00:35:12I turned my face away,

00:35:14unwilling to look at him any longer.

00:35:16Kane seemed about to say something else,

00:35:19but his phone suddenly rang.

00:35:21His expression shifted,

00:35:22just slightly,

00:35:23before he stepped aside to answer.

00:35:26When he returned,

00:35:27there was a trace of apology on his face.

00:35:31Little wolf,

00:35:32something urgent just came up.

00:35:34Go ahead and try the dress.

00:35:35If anything needs adjusting,

00:35:36just tell the staff.

00:35:38He left in a hurry,

00:35:40not even waiting for a response.

00:35:43I watched his retreating figure,

00:35:46a bitter thought settling in.

00:35:48Kane had never walked away from me for pack business.

00:35:52And just before he left,

00:35:54I had caught it.

00:35:56That flicker in his eyes.

00:35:58Raw,

00:36:00instinctive desire.

00:36:02Work?

00:36:03Hardly.

00:36:04He was going to see her.

00:36:07When I returned to the pack house,

00:36:09I immediately felt it.

00:36:11The slight dip in the mattress.

00:36:14The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla,

00:36:17and lingering scent,

00:36:18thick with unmistakable desire.

00:36:21The thought hit me all at once.

00:36:23Kane and that beta had been here,

00:36:25on this bed.

00:36:27Entwined.

00:36:28My stomach twisted violently.

00:36:31I rushed into the bathroom and threw up,

00:36:33unable to stop.

00:36:35Kane had just come back.

00:36:37The moment he saw me like that,

00:36:39panic flashed across his face.

00:36:42Little wolf,

00:36:43did you eat something bad?

00:36:44I'll call a healer right now.

00:36:48I grabbed his wrist,

00:36:50my eyes still red.

00:36:52I'm fine.

00:36:53I just thought of something disgusting.

00:36:57Kane dropped to his knees beside me,

00:37:00gently patting my back,

00:37:01his expression full of distress.

00:37:03Don't think about things like that.

00:37:06Seeing you like this,

00:37:08it hurts me too.

00:37:09I looked down at him,

00:37:11at the open collar of his shirt,

00:37:14and the marks on his skin.

00:37:16Bite marks,

00:37:18fresh,

00:37:18obvious.

00:37:20Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.

00:37:23How strong did Kane have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body,

00:37:28and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?

00:37:32His voice grew sharper,

00:37:34more agitated.

00:37:36Who did this to you?

00:37:38Who made Maid?

00:37:40My little wolf like this?

00:37:42Tell me.

00:37:44I'll tear them apart.

00:37:46A bitter smile tugged at my lips.

00:37:50Kane,

00:37:50you're the one who did this to me.

00:37:53Sometime deep into the night,

00:37:55I woke to the sound of a low,

00:37:58restrained growl.

00:37:59Half asleep,

00:38:00I reached out,

00:38:02instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.

00:38:04But the bed was empty.

00:38:06I sat up and went downstairs.

00:38:09As I reached the second floor,

00:38:11I heard it.

00:38:13A woman's breathless voice.

00:38:16Soft,

00:38:16broken.

00:38:17I froze for a second,

00:38:19forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest,

00:38:22then walked toward the guest room.

00:38:24The door was wide open.

00:38:27Moonlight spilled across the room,

00:38:29illuminating two bodies tangled together.

00:38:33Inside,

00:38:33Kane was bare from the waist up.

00:38:36The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.

00:38:39The long skirt pushed up to her waist.

00:38:42Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.

00:38:45Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck,

00:38:48her voice unsteady.

00:38:50Alpha,

00:38:52the dress I just got today.

00:38:54You already torn it.

00:38:56Kane let out a low chuckle,

00:38:58leaning in close to her ear,

00:38:59his voice rough.

00:39:01You wore it for me,

00:39:04didn't you?

00:39:06I even had the designer make one just for you.

00:39:09So tonight,

00:39:11shouldn't you be satisfying me?

00:39:13She clung to him,

00:39:15her voice breaking,

00:39:17hoarse.

00:39:18Alpha,

00:39:19I can't,

00:39:20I can't take ache anymore.

00:39:23Then,

00:39:24breathless,

00:39:25she tilted her head back.

00:39:27What if Aria sees us?

00:39:30Kane stilled,

00:39:31his expression turning cold as he cut her off.

00:39:34She's useless.

00:39:36She doesn't understand anything.

00:39:38Don't you dare tell her about us.

00:39:40The beta trace circles against his chest,

00:39:43her tone soft,

00:39:44almost hurt.

00:39:45I know.

00:39:46I just,

00:39:48she's about to become your mate,

00:39:51and I'll always have to stay hidden.

00:39:54It makes me sad.

00:39:57Kane's expression softened slightly.

00:39:59You jealous little thing.

00:40:02I already brought you into this house.

00:40:04Isn't that enough?

00:40:05Don't worry.

00:40:07Even after the mate bond,

00:40:08I won't leave you.

00:40:10Whatever area has,

00:40:12you'll have too.

00:40:14Moonlight lit up my face,

00:40:16where I stood outside the door.

00:40:18I covered my mouth,

00:40:20but the tears were already falling,

00:40:22blurring everything.

00:40:24Every sound from inside the room

00:40:26pierced into me like silver blades,

00:40:28carving wound after wound into my chest.

00:40:32I turned and ran.

00:40:34Barefoot.

00:40:35Straight out into the rain.

00:40:37Cold water soaked through me,

00:40:39but I didn't stop.

00:40:41I just needed to get away.

00:40:43As far away as possible.

00:40:45Through the haze,

00:40:46I thought I saw him.

00:40:48A younger Kane.

00:40:49The one I had once loved.

00:40:53His eyes were clear,

00:40:55sincere,

00:40:56filled with something real.

00:40:58Little wolf,

00:41:00leave him.

00:41:02Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore.

00:41:04And never forgive him.

00:41:06My vision burned

00:41:08as I looked at that memory.

00:41:10At the alpha,

00:41:11alpha,

00:41:12I had once given my heart to.

00:41:14Okay.

00:41:15I whispered.

00:41:16I will leave you.

00:41:20And I will never forgive you.

00:41:24Five years into our marriage,

00:41:26it all turned out to be lies.

00:41:27My alpha Kane had an affair with his mistress Beta,

00:41:30the day before our mating ceremony.

00:41:33He assumed I,

00:41:35being a wolfless wretch,

00:41:36couldn't hear a thing,

00:41:38unaware that I had awakened,

00:41:39and could clearly perceive

00:41:41every betrayal we uttered.

00:41:44Luna,

00:41:44we've prepared the substitute blood

00:41:46and staged the fake death scene

00:41:48exactly as you requested.

00:41:49In ten days,

00:41:51your death will be revealed

00:41:52at mate ceremony.

00:41:53The voice on the other end

00:41:55finally took the edge off the anger

00:41:56I'd been holding back

00:41:58for far too long.

00:41:59Good.

00:42:00My voice came out low,

00:42:02a restrained edge

00:42:03of something feral beneath it.

00:42:05Rest assured,

00:42:06no one will question it.

00:42:08We'll simulate a death

00:42:09by silver.

00:42:10No wolf survives

00:42:12that kind of damage.

00:42:13Only then,

00:42:14did I let out a slow breath.

00:42:17After confirming

00:42:18the remaining details,

00:42:20I hung up

00:42:20and pushed open the door

00:42:22to the private room.

00:42:24The noise inside died

00:42:25the instant I stepped in.

00:42:27Every wolf there

00:42:28could catch the faint pine scent

00:42:30clinging to me.

00:42:31The unmistakable mate mark

00:42:33left by Alpha Kane.

00:42:36Kane,

00:42:37seated at the center,

00:42:38rose immediately.

00:42:40His long fingers

00:42:41closed around my hand,

00:42:43his eyes filled with concern.

00:42:45His voice dropped,

00:42:47rough with Alpha authority.

00:42:49My little wolf,

00:42:50where did you go?

00:42:51I can smell fear on you.

00:42:54He started to pull me away,

00:42:56but I caught the possessiveness

00:42:58in his gaze

00:42:58and forced down the bitterness

00:43:00rising in my chest.

00:43:02I shook my head.

00:43:04I'm fine.

00:43:05Let's just keep going.

00:43:07Still holding my hand,

00:43:09Kane led me back to my seat.

00:43:11The room gradually came back to life

00:43:13until someone spoke up.

00:43:15Kane,

00:43:16you and your wildcat

00:43:17are about to seal your mate bond.

00:43:19So what are you planning to do

00:43:21with your little beta pet?

00:43:23My nails dug into my palm.

00:43:25Being the useless one

00:43:26who couldn't shift,

00:43:28I'd long since gotten used

00:43:30to names like that,

00:43:31but I could still clearly smell

00:43:33another woman's scent

00:43:34lingering on Kane.

00:43:39Someone beside the speaker

00:43:40nudged him.

00:43:42Hey, watch it.

00:43:43Your Luna's right here.

00:43:45He just shrugged,

00:43:46completely unconcerned.

00:43:48What's the problem?

00:43:50It's not like the useless one

00:43:52understands the werewolf

00:43:53kind language anyway.

00:43:54I'm just curious how Kane plans

00:43:56to deal with his little bitch.

00:43:58All eyes turned to Kane.

00:44:00A flicker of disdain

00:44:02passed through his gaze.

00:44:04I'll keep her.

00:44:06He peeled a shrimp

00:44:07and placed it into my bowl

00:44:09before continuing casually.

00:44:11She's just a pet I keep around.

00:44:13My only mate is Aria.

00:44:15He smirked faintly.

00:44:17But if my wildbot Aria

00:44:19ever found out the truth,

00:44:20she'd run.

00:44:21So I've kept it well hidden.

00:44:24Even after the mate bond,

00:44:26I won't let her find out.

00:44:29His gaze swept across the room,

00:44:31a surge of alpha pressure

00:44:32thickening the air.

00:44:33Watch your mouths.

00:44:35If anyone slips up in front of her,

00:44:37I'll tear you apart.

00:44:40These were all dominant alphas

00:44:42from the same circle,

00:44:43and none of this shocked them.

00:44:45If anything,

00:44:46they sounded amused.

00:44:48Kane's got it bad.

00:44:50Can't even let his little toy

00:44:52get exposed.

00:44:53Well, she can't shift.

00:44:54Figures she'd be fragile.

00:44:57Someone's eyes lit up,

00:44:59curiosity getting the better of him.

00:45:02Kane, if Aria can't sense anything,

00:45:05then you and that beta pet,

00:45:08have you ever, you know,

00:45:10at home?

00:45:11Kane chuckled,

00:45:13idly spinning the ring on his finger.

00:45:15Of course.

00:45:17It's been wild.

00:45:20The room erupted into crude laughter

00:45:22and wolfish howls.

00:45:24Kane really knows how to play!

00:45:27A useless one like that?

00:45:29Easy to fool.

00:45:31Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.

00:45:37Man, I'd love to see

00:45:38that wild cat's face

00:45:40when she finds out.

00:45:42Their laughter cut through the room,

00:45:45sharp and vicious.

00:45:47No one noticed how tightly

00:45:49I was gripping my silver fork.

00:45:51My knuckles had gone white.

00:45:53No one knew.

00:45:54Three days ago,

00:45:55I had my awakening.

00:45:59And no one knew

00:46:01that I had already decided to leave.

00:46:03I would never complete

00:46:04a mate bond with Kane.

00:46:07On the day of the ceremony,

00:46:09the only thing waiting for him

00:46:11would be a blood-soaked corpse.

00:46:13A fake one.

00:46:14Kane glanced at my untouched shrimp

00:46:17and immediately turned back to me.

00:46:20My little wolf,

00:46:21why aren't you eating?

00:46:23I looked at him.

00:46:24At the man whose eyes

00:46:26were filled with nothing

00:46:27but carefully crafted concern

00:46:29and forced a faint smile.

00:46:31What were you all talking about

00:46:33that got you so excited?

00:46:36Kane smiled softly

00:46:37and pressed a gentle kiss

00:46:39to the back of my hand.

00:46:41They were just saying

00:46:42they envy envy our bond.

00:46:44That will be

00:46:45the most devoted pair there is.

00:46:48Inside the private room,

00:46:50people exchanged knowing looks.

00:46:52I caught every single one of them.

00:46:54The mockery.

00:46:55The cruelty.

00:46:56It burned.

00:46:58My heart felt like

00:47:00it had been soaked

00:47:01in liquid silver.

00:47:02The pain sharp enough

00:47:04to cut through bone.

00:47:05They had been talking

00:47:07about him and that woman.

00:47:08Yet somehow twisted it

00:47:10into admiration

00:47:11for what we had.

00:47:13Kane,

00:47:13I never realized

00:47:15you could lie so easily.

00:47:17I set my silver fork down

00:47:19and stood.

00:47:20I didn't want to hear

00:47:21another word of it.

00:47:22The moment I moved to leave,

00:47:25Kane was on his feet,

00:47:26a flicker of panic

00:47:27crossing his face.

00:47:29Little wolf,

00:47:30what's wrong?

00:47:32I shook my head.

00:47:34My voice came out soft,

00:47:36barely more than a breath.

00:47:38I'm tired.

00:47:40I want to go back

00:47:42to the pack house.

00:47:43I didn't wait

00:47:44for his response.

00:47:45I turned and walked out.

00:47:48Out on the street,

00:47:49I looked up

00:47:50and saw the massive

00:47:51LED screen across the road.

00:47:54A mating display was playing.

00:47:56Aria,

00:47:57be my mate.

00:47:59The words stretched

00:48:01across the center

00:48:02in bold,

00:48:03impossible to miss letters.

00:48:05People passing by

00:48:06slowed down,

00:48:07their voices full of envy.

00:48:12Oh my god,

00:48:13I heard Alpha Kane's girl

00:48:14can't shift,

00:48:15so he rented

00:48:15the biggest screen

00:48:16in the city

00:48:17just so she could

00:48:18clearly see the words

00:48:19be my mate?

00:48:20That's insanely romantic.

00:48:23He treats that girl

00:48:24so well.

00:48:26After the mate bond,

00:48:27he's going to be

00:48:27the perfect alpha.

00:48:30I stood there,

00:48:31the subject of their admiration,

00:48:34and let out a quiet,

00:48:35self-mocking smile.

00:48:37A week ago,

00:48:38I would have reacted

00:48:40the same way.

00:48:41I would have believed

00:48:42in Kane's love

00:48:44without question.

00:48:46I was born

00:48:47into a declining pack.

00:48:49From the moment

00:48:50I came into this world,

00:48:51I couldn't shift.

00:48:53Among the werewolf kind,

00:48:55that made me a disgrace,

00:48:58a failure.

00:48:59Kane entered my life

00:49:01under those circumstances.

00:49:03He claimed it was love

00:49:04at first sight

00:49:05and pursued me relentlessly.

00:49:08But I had seen

00:49:09this kind of attention before.

00:49:11Cruel games disguised

00:49:13as affection.

00:49:15So I avoided him.

00:49:1799 times he confessed.

00:49:2099 times I turned him down.

00:49:23Until the night

00:49:24the Silver Hunters attacked.

00:49:26He threw himself over me

00:49:28without hesitation.

00:49:30Even when Silver

00:49:31pierced straight through

00:49:32his shoulder blade,

00:49:33he didn't move.

00:49:34He held his position,

00:49:36shielding me

00:49:37with his body.

00:49:38When he woke up

00:49:39in the hospital,

00:49:40his condition was so weak

00:49:42he could barely

00:49:43maintain human form.

00:49:44And yet,

00:49:45the first thing

00:49:46he did when he saw me

00:49:47was reach out

00:49:49and gently touch my face.

00:49:52My little wolf,

00:49:53as long as you're safe.

00:49:55That was the moment

00:49:57everything changed.

00:49:58For the first time,

00:49:59I believed that even

00:50:01someone like me,

00:50:02someone who couldn't shift,

00:50:03could be worth

00:50:04risking everything for.

00:50:06The walls around my heart

00:50:07cracked open for him.

00:50:10The wound from the Silver

00:50:11never fully healed.

00:50:13It left behind

00:50:15a permanent circular scar.

00:50:17Every time I saw it,

00:50:18my heart would ache

00:50:19in a way that felt

00:50:20dangerously close to love.

00:50:23For five years,

00:50:25he never wavered.

00:50:26He treated me

00:50:27with the same devotion,

00:50:29the same care,

00:50:30as if I were

00:50:31the only one who mattered.

00:50:35Even when the pack

00:50:36opposed us,

00:50:37he stood his ground

00:50:38and asked me

00:50:39to be his mate.

00:50:41And for that

00:50:42upcoming ceremony,

00:50:44I wanted to give him

00:50:45something real.

00:50:47Something more.

00:50:48I risked my life

00:50:49to undergo

00:50:50blood awakening

00:50:51just so I could

00:50:52truly experience

00:50:53his wild side

00:50:54during the mate ritual.

00:50:55If it failed,

00:50:57I would have died.

00:50:59But I survived.

00:51:01Not only that,

00:51:02I gained something rare.

00:51:04Empathic sense.

00:51:06I decided to keep it

00:51:07a secret.

00:51:08I wanted to surprise him

00:51:10on the day

00:51:10of the ceremony.

00:51:12But on the very day

00:51:14I awakened,

00:51:15everything fell apart.

00:51:17Through that new ability,

00:51:18I sensed him.

00:51:20Cain.

00:51:21Talking to his beta pet,

00:51:23their voices

00:51:24were intimate,

00:51:25careless,

00:51:26filled with open flirtation.

00:51:29That was when

00:51:30I learned the truth.

00:51:31He had already

00:51:32betrayed our bond.

00:51:34For an entire year.

00:51:36And I had known nothing.

00:51:38A sharp pain

00:51:40twisted through my chest,

00:51:42forcing me to crouch down

00:51:43and wrap my arms

00:51:44around myself.

00:51:45His words from earlier

00:51:47echoed in my mind,

00:51:48over and over again.

00:51:50Even with the mate

00:51:51ceremony approaching,

00:51:53he had no intention

00:51:54of ending that relationship.

00:51:56Did he really think

00:51:57I was so worthless

00:51:58that he could deceive me forever?

00:52:01The winter wind

00:52:02cut through me,

00:52:04cold and merciless.

00:52:05But my mind

00:52:07had never been clearer.

00:52:08I would show Cain the truth.

00:52:11Lies don't last forever.

00:52:13And I would never

00:52:15forgive betrayal.

00:52:16I took a slow breath,

00:52:18forcing down

00:52:19the ache in my chest.

00:52:21Just as I was

00:52:22about to head back,

00:52:23a pair of strong arms

00:52:25wrapped around me

00:52:26from behind.

00:52:28Cain's scent

00:52:28surrounded me at once,

00:52:30rich with cedar

00:52:31and thick

00:52:32with possessiveness.

00:52:33It pressed in

00:52:34from all sides,

00:52:35leaving no space

00:52:36to breathe.

00:52:37Little wolf,

00:52:38why didn't you

00:52:39wait for me?

00:52:40Are you in a bad

00:52:41mood today?

00:52:42Then let me take you

00:52:43to see your mate dress.

00:52:45The custom piece

00:52:47just arrived.

00:52:48He pulled me

00:52:49into his arms,

00:52:50his hands sliding up

00:52:51to the back of my neck,

00:52:53gently stroking the spot

00:52:54where his marking remained.

00:52:59I don't feel like going.

00:53:01Just pick it yourself.

00:53:03I would be gone

00:53:04on the day

00:53:05of the mate ceremony.

00:53:06There was no reason

00:53:08for me to wear

00:53:09a mate dress.

00:53:10Cain seemed to sense

00:53:11the distance

00:53:12in my tone.

00:53:13His voice softened,

00:53:15almost cautious.

00:53:17Little wolf,

00:53:19why does it feel like

00:53:20you're not excited

00:53:20about the mate bond

00:53:21at all?

00:53:22Do you not want

00:53:23to bond with me anymore?

00:53:25I looked at him,

00:53:27at the flicker

00:53:28of panic

00:53:28in his alpha eyes.

00:53:30I almost told him

00:53:31the truth.

00:53:32Yes,

00:53:33I don't want

00:53:34this anymore.

00:53:35You were the one

00:53:37who betrayed us first.

00:53:38You were the one

00:53:39who dragged our bond

00:53:40through the dirt.

00:53:41You were the one

00:53:42who destroyed

00:53:42any anticipation

00:53:43I had for that ceremony.

00:53:45And now you're asking me why?

00:53:48But I wasn't ready

00:53:50to expose everything,

00:53:51not yet.

00:53:53At the dress boutique,

00:53:55the moment we stepped inside,

00:53:57an attendant drew back

00:53:58a curtain to reveal

00:53:59the mate dress

00:54:00prepared in advance.

00:54:02Miss,

00:54:03the gown Alpha Cain

00:54:04had blessed

00:54:05by the moon goddess

00:54:05has arrived.

00:54:06Please let us know

00:54:08if you'd like

00:54:08any alterations.

00:54:10The dress was pure white,

00:54:12flowing and luminous.

00:54:15Moonstones were set

00:54:16into the bodice,

00:54:17casting a soft,

00:54:18sacred glow.

00:54:20Cain wrapped an arm

00:54:21around my waist.

00:54:22My little wolf,

00:54:24do you like it?

00:54:26I couldn't deny it.

00:54:28The design was

00:54:28exactly my taste.

00:54:30But no matter

00:54:31how beautiful it was,

00:54:33it couldn't mend

00:54:34what had already

00:54:35been broken.

00:54:36Look closer,

00:54:37Cain said softly,

00:54:39at the center

00:54:39of the moonstone.

00:54:41I followed his gaze.

00:54:43Engraved deep

00:54:44within the gem

00:54:45were the letters

00:54:46A and K

00:54:48forever.

00:54:49The moon goddess

00:54:50is our witness.

00:54:53My love for you

00:54:54will last forever too.

00:54:55I stared at the stone,

00:54:57at the tiny letters

00:54:59carved into its heart.

00:55:00Then I turned to him

00:55:02and met his eyes,

00:55:04eyes filled with

00:55:05something that

00:55:06looked like love.

00:55:08Will your love for me

00:55:09really last forever?

00:55:13A flicker of unease

00:55:15crossed his face

00:55:16before he answered quickly.

00:55:18I Cain, swear,

00:55:19swear that I will

00:55:20love Arya forever,

00:55:22for my entire life.

00:55:25If I break this oath,

00:55:27may the moon goddess

00:55:28strip me of my wolf spirit.

00:55:30Such a solemn vow.

00:55:32And yet,

00:55:33it couldn't warm a heart

00:55:35that had already gone cold.

00:55:38He had already broken it.

00:55:40And still,

00:55:41he kept acting.

00:55:43Didn't he get tired?

00:55:45I turned my face away,

00:55:47unwilling to look at him

00:55:49any longer.

00:55:50Cain seemed about to say

00:55:51something else,

00:55:52but his phone suddenly rang.

00:55:54His expression shifted,

00:55:56just slightly,

00:55:57before he stepped aside

00:55:58to answer.

00:55:59When he returned,

00:56:01there was a trace of apology

00:56:02on his face.

00:56:04Little wolf,

00:56:06something urgent just came up.

00:56:07Go ahead and try the dress.

00:56:09If anything needs adjusting,

00:56:10just tell the staff.

00:56:12He left in a hurry,

00:56:14not even waiting for a response.

00:56:17I watched his retreating figure,

00:56:20a bitter thought settling in.

00:56:22Cain had never walked away from me

00:56:24for pack business.

00:56:25And just before he left,

00:56:27I had caught it.

00:56:29That flicker in his eyes.

00:56:32Raw,

00:56:33instinctive desire.

00:56:35Work?

00:56:37Hardly.

00:56:38He was going to see her.

00:56:40When I returned to the pack house,

00:56:43I immediately felt it.

00:56:45The slight dip in the mattress.

00:56:48The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla,

00:56:50and lingering scent,

00:56:52thick with unmistakable desire.

00:56:54The thought hit me all at once.

00:56:57Cain and that beta had been here,

00:56:59on this bed.

00:57:01Entwined.

00:57:02My stomach twisted violently.

00:57:04I rushed into the bathroom and threw up,

00:57:07unable to stop.

00:57:09Cain had just come back.

00:57:10The moment he saw me like that,

00:57:13panic flashed across his face.

00:57:15Little wolf,

00:57:16did you eat something bad?

00:57:18I'll call a healer right now.

00:57:22I grabbed his wrist,

00:57:24my eyes still red.

00:57:26I'm fine.

00:57:27I just

00:57:27thought of something disgusting.

00:57:31Cain dropped to his knees beside me,

00:57:33gently patting my back,

00:57:35his expression full of distress.

00:57:37Don't think about things like that.

00:57:40Seeing you like this,

00:57:42it hurts me too.

00:57:43I looked down at him,

00:57:45at the open collar of his shirt,

00:57:47and the marks on his skin.

00:57:50Bite marks,

00:57:51fresh,

00:57:52obvious.

00:57:53Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.

00:57:57How strong did Cain have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body,

00:58:01and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?

00:58:06His voice grew sharper,

00:58:08more agitated.

00:58:10Who did this to you?

00:58:12Who made maid?

00:58:13My little wolf like this.

00:58:16Tell me.

00:58:17I'll tear them apart.

00:58:19A bitter smile tugged at my lips.

00:58:23Cain,

00:58:24you're the one who did this to me.

00:58:27Sometime deep into the night,

00:58:29I woke to the sound of a low,

00:58:31restrained growl.

00:58:33Half asleep,

00:58:34I reached out,

00:58:35instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.

00:58:38But the bed was empty.

00:58:40I sat up and went downstairs.

00:58:43As I reached the second floor,

00:58:45I heard it.

00:58:46A woman's breathless voice.

00:58:49Soft,

00:58:50broken.

00:58:51I froze for a second,

00:58:53forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest,

00:58:56then walked toward the guest room.

00:58:58The door was wide open.

00:59:00Moonlight spilled across the room,

00:59:03illuminating two bodies tangled together.

00:59:06Inside,

00:59:07Cain was bare from the waist up.

00:59:10The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.

00:59:13The long skirt pushed up to her waist.

00:59:15Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.

00:59:19Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck,

00:59:22her voice unsteady.

00:59:24Alpha,

00:59:25the dress I just got today,

00:59:27you already torn it.

00:59:29Cain let out a low chuckle,

00:59:31leaning in close to her ear,

00:59:33his voice rough.

00:59:34You,

00:59:36You wore it for me,

00:59:38didn't you?

00:59:39I even had the designer make one just for you.

00:59:43So tonight,

00:59:45shouldn't you be satisfying me?

00:59:46She clung to him,

00:59:49her voice breaking,

00:59:50hoarse.

00:59:52Alpha,

00:59:53I can't,

00:59:54I can't take ache anymore.

00:59:57Then,

00:59:58breathless,

00:59:58she tilted her head back.

01:00:01What if Aria sees us?

01:00:03Cain stilled,

01:00:04his expression turning cold as he cut her off.

01:00:08She's useless.

01:00:09She doesn't understand anything.

01:00:11Don't you dare tell her about us.

01:00:14The beta traced circles against his chest,

01:00:16her tone soft,

01:00:17almost hurt.

01:00:19I know.

01:00:20I just,

01:00:22she's about to become your mate,

01:00:24and I'll always have to stay hidden.

01:00:28It makes me sad.

01:00:30Cain's expression softened slightly.

01:00:33You jealous little thing.

01:00:35I already brought you into this house.

01:00:37Isn't that enough?

01:00:39Don't worry.

01:00:41Even after the mate bond,

01:00:42I won't leave you.

01:00:44Whatever area has,

01:00:45you'll have too.

01:00:47Moonlight lit up my face,

01:00:49where I stood outside the door.

01:00:51I covered my mouth,

01:00:53but the tears were already falling,

01:00:56blurring everything.

01:00:58Every sound from inside the room

01:01:00pierced into me like silver blades,

01:01:02carving wound after wound into my chest.

01:01:05I turned and ran.

01:01:08Barefoot.

01:01:09Straight out into the rain.

01:01:11Cold water soaked through me,

01:01:13but I didn't stop.

01:01:14I just needed to get away.

01:01:16As far away as possible.

01:01:19Through the haze,

01:01:20I thought I saw him.

01:01:22A younger Cain.

01:01:24The one,

01:01:25I had once loved.

01:01:27His eyes were clear,

01:01:29sincere,

01:01:30filled with something real.

01:01:32Little Wolf,

01:01:33leave him.

01:01:35Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore,

01:01:38and never forgive him.

01:01:40My vision burned

01:01:41as I looked at that memory.

01:01:44At the Alpha,

01:01:45I had once given my heart to.

01:01:48Okay.

01:01:49I whispered.

01:01:50I will leave you,

01:01:53and I will never forgive you.

01:01:57Five years into our marriage,

01:01:59it all turned out to be lies.

01:02:01My Alpha Cain had an affair with his mistress Beta,

01:02:04the day before our mating ceremony.

01:02:07He assumed I,

01:02:08being a wolf-less wretch,

01:02:10couldn't hear a thing,

01:02:11unaware that I had awakened,

01:02:13and could clearly perceive every betrayal we uttered.

01:02:17Luna,

01:02:18we've prepared the substitute blood

01:02:20and staged the fake death scene

01:02:22exactly as you requested.

01:02:23In ten days,

01:02:24your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.

01:02:27The voice on the other end

01:02:28finally took the edge off the anger

01:02:30I'd been holding back for far too long.

01:02:33Good.

01:02:34My voice came out low,

01:02:35a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.

01:02:39Rest assured,

01:02:40no one will question it.

01:02:41We'll simulate a death by silver.

01:02:44No wolf survives that kind of damage.

01:02:47Only then,

01:02:48did I let out a slow breath.

01:02:50After confirming the remaining details,

01:02:53I hung up,

01:02:54and pushed open the door,

01:02:56to the private room.

01:02:57The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.

01:03:01Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent

01:03:04clinging to me.

01:03:05The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Cain.

01:03:10Cain,

01:03:10seated at the center,

01:03:12rose immediately.

01:03:13His long fingers closed around my hand,

01:03:16his eyes filled with concern.

01:03:19His voice dropped,

01:03:20rough with Alpha authority.

01:03:22My little wolf,

01:03:24where did you go?

01:03:25I can smell fear on you.

01:03:28He started to pull me away,

01:03:30but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze,

01:03:32and forced down the bitterness rising in my chest.

01:03:35I shook my head.

01:03:37I'm fine.

01:03:39Let's just keep going.

01:03:40Still holding my hand,

01:03:42Cain led me back to my seat.

01:03:44The room gradually came back to life,

01:03:47until someone spoke up.

01:03:49Cain,

01:03:49you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond.

01:03:53So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?

01:03:56My nails dug into my palm.

01:03:59Being the useless one who couldn't shift,

01:04:01I'd long since gotten used to names like that.

01:04:04But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent,

01:04:08lingering on Cain.

01:04:12Someone beside the speaker nudged him.

01:04:16Hey, watch it.

01:04:17Your Luna's right here.

01:04:18He just shrugged,

01:04:20completely unconcerned.

01:04:22What's the problem?

01:04:24It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf-kind language anyway.

01:04:28I'm just curious how Cain plans to deal with his little bitch.

01:04:32All eyes turned to Cain.

01:04:34A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.

01:04:37I'll keep her.

01:04:39He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.

01:04:45She's just a pet I keep around.

01:04:47My only mate is Aria.

01:04:49He smirked faintly.

01:04:51But if my wild bot area ever found out the truth, she'd run.

01:04:55So I've kept it well hidden.

01:04:58Even after the mate bond.

01:05:00I won't let her find out.

01:05:02His gaze swept across the room,

01:05:04a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.

01:05:07Watch your mouths.

01:05:09If anyone slips up in front of her,

01:05:11I'll tear you apart.

01:05:14These were all dominant alphas from the same circle,

01:05:17and none of this shocked them.

01:05:19If anything, they sounded amused.

01:05:22Cain's got it bad.

01:05:24Can't even let his little toy get exposed.

01:05:26Well, she can't shift.

01:05:28Figures she'd be fragile.

01:05:30Someone's eyes lit up.

01:05:32Curiosity getting the better of him.

01:05:35Cain, if Aria can't sense anything,

01:05:39than you and that beta pet.

01:05:41Have you ever, you know, at home?

01:05:45Cain chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.

01:05:49Of course.

01:05:51It's been wild.

01:05:53The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.

01:05:57Cain really knows how to play!

01:06:01A useless one like that?

01:06:03Easy to fool.

01:06:05Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.

01:06:10Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.

01:06:16Their laughter cut through the room,

01:06:18sharp and vicious.

01:06:20No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.

01:06:24My knuckles had gone white.

01:06:26No one knew.

01:06:28Three days ago, I had my awakening.

01:06:33And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.

01:06:37I would never complete a mate bond with Cain.

01:06:40On the day of the ceremony,

01:06:42the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.

01:06:46A fake one.

01:06:48Cain glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.

01:06:53My little wolf, why aren't you eating?

01:06:57I looked at him.

01:06:58At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern

01:07:03and forced a faint smile.

01:07:05What were you all talking about that got you so excited?

01:07:09Cain smiled softly

01:07:11and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.

01:07:15They were just saying they envy envy our bond.

01:07:17That will be the most devoted pair there is.

01:07:21Inside the private room,

01:07:23people exchanged knowing looks.

01:07:25I caught every single one of them.

01:07:28The mockery.

01:07:28The cruelty.

01:07:30It burned.

01:07:32My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver.

01:07:36The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.

01:07:39They had been talking about him and that woman.

01:07:42Yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.

01:07:46Cain, I never realized you could lie so easily.

01:07:50I set my silver fork down and stood.

01:07:53I didn't want to hear another word of it.

01:07:56The moment I moved to leave,

01:07:59Cain was on his feet.

01:08:00A flicker of panic crossing his face.

01:08:03Little wolf, what's wrong?

01:08:06I shook my head.

01:08:07My voice came out soft,

01:08:09barely more than a breath.

01:08:12I'm tired.

01:08:14I want to go back to the pack house.

01:08:16I didn't wait for his response.

01:08:18I turned and walked out.

01:08:21Out on the street,

01:08:22I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.

01:08:27A mating display was playing.

01:08:30Aria, be my mate.

01:08:33The words stretched across the center in bold, impossible-to-miss letters.

01:08:39People passing by slowed down,

01:08:41their voices full of envy.

01:08:45Oh my god, I heard Alpha Cain's girl can't shift,

01:08:49so he rented the biggest screen in the city

01:08:50just so she could clearly see the words,

01:08:52Be my mate?

01:08:54That's insanely romantic.

01:08:57He treats that girl so well.

01:08:59After the mate bond,

01:09:00he's going to be the perfect Alpha.

01:09:03I stood there,

01:09:05the subject of their admiration,

01:09:07and let out a quiet,

01:09:09self-mocking smile.

01:09:11A week ago,

01:09:12I would have reacted the same way.

01:09:14I would have believed in Cain's love without question.

01:09:19I was born into a declining pack.

01:09:22From the moment I came into this world,

01:09:25I couldn't shift.

01:09:27Among the werewolf kind,

01:09:29that made me a disgrace.

01:09:31A failure.

01:09:33Cain entered my life under those circumstances.

01:09:37He claimed it was love at first sight

01:09:39and pursued me relentlessly.

01:09:41But I had seen this kind of attention before.

01:09:45Cruel games disguised as affection.

01:09:48So I avoided him.

01:09:5099 times he confessed.

01:09:5399 times I turned him down.

01:09:57Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked.

01:10:00He threw himself over me without hesitation.

01:10:03Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade,

01:10:07he didn't move.

01:10:08He held his position,

01:10:09shielding me with his body.

01:10:12When he woke up in the hospital,

01:10:14his condition was so weak

01:10:16he could barely maintain human form.

01:10:18And yet,

01:10:19the first thing he did when he saw me

01:10:21was reach out and gently touch my face.

01:10:25My little wolf,

01:10:27as long as you're safe.

01:10:29That was the moment everything changed.

01:10:32For the first time,

01:10:33I believed that even someone like me,

01:10:35someone who couldn't shift,

01:10:37could be worth risking everything for.

01:10:40The walls around my heart cracked open for him.

01:10:43The wound from the Silver never fully healed.

01:10:47It left behind a permanent circular scar.

01:10:50Every time I saw it,

01:10:52my heart would ache in a way

01:10:54that felt dangerously close to love.

01:10:57For five years,

01:10:58he never wavered.

01:11:00He treated me with the same devotion,

01:11:02the same care,

01:11:04as if I were the only one who mattered.

01:11:09Even when the pack opposed us,

01:11:11he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.

01:11:15And for that upcoming ceremony,

01:11:17I wanted to give him something real.

01:11:20Something more.

01:11:21I risked my life to undergo blood awakening,

01:11:25just so I could truly experience his wild side during the mate ritual.

01:11:29If it failed,

01:11:30I would have died.

01:11:32But I survived.

01:11:34Not only that,

01:11:36I gained something rare.

01:11:38Empathic sense.

01:11:39I decided to keep it a secret.

01:11:42I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.

01:11:46But on the very day I awakened,

01:11:48everything fell apart.

01:11:50Through that new ability,

01:11:52I sensed him.

01:11:54Cain.

01:11:55Talking to his beta pet.

01:11:57Their voices were intimate,

01:11:59careless,

01:12:00filled with open flirtation.

01:12:02That was when I learned the truth.

01:12:05He had already betrayed our bond.

01:12:08For an entire year.

01:12:10And I had known nothing.

01:12:12A sharp pain twisted through my chest.

01:12:15Forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.

01:12:19His words from earlier echoed in my mind,

01:12:22over and over again.

01:12:24Even with the mate ceremony approaching,

01:12:26he had no intention of ending that relationship.

01:12:29Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?

01:12:35The winter wind cut through me,

01:12:37cold and merciless.

01:12:39But my mind had never been clearer.

01:12:42I would show Cain the truth.

01:12:44Lies don't last forever.

01:12:47And I would never forgive betrayal.

01:12:50I took a slow breath,

01:12:52forcing down the ache in my chest.

01:12:54Just as I was about to head back,

01:12:57a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.

01:13:01Cain's scent surrounded me at once,

01:13:04rich with cedar,

01:13:05and thick with possessiveness.

01:13:06It pressed in from all sides,

01:13:08leaving no space to breathe.

01:13:11Little wolf,

01:13:12why didn't you wait for me?

01:13:13Are you in a bad mood today?

01:13:16Then let me take you to see your mate dress.

01:13:19The custom piece just arrived.

01:13:21He pulled me into his arms,

01:13:24his hands sliding up to the back of my neck,

01:13:26gently stroking the spot where his marking remained.

01:13:32I don't feel like going.

01:13:34Just pick it yourself.

01:13:36I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.

01:13:40There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.

01:13:44Cain seemed to sense the distance in my tone.

01:13:47His voice softened,

01:13:48almost cautious.

01:13:51Little wolf,

01:13:52why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?

01:13:56Do you not want to bond with me anymore?

01:13:59I looked at him,

01:14:00at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.

01:14:04I almost told him the truth.

01:14:06Yes,

01:14:07I don't want this anymore.

01:14:09You were the one who betrayed us first.

01:14:12You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.

01:14:15You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.

01:14:19And now you're asking me why?

01:14:22But I wasn't ready to expose everything.

01:14:25Not yet.

01:14:27At the dress boutique,

01:14:29the moment we stepped inside,

01:14:31an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress prepared in advance.

01:14:36Miss,

01:14:36the gown Alpha Cain had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.

01:14:40Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.

01:14:44The dress was pure white,

01:14:46flowing and luminous.

01:14:48Moonstones were set into the bodice,

01:14:50casting a soft,

01:14:52sacred glow.

01:14:53Cain wrapped an arm around my waist.

01:14:56My little wolf?

01:14:57Do you like it?

01:14:59I couldn't deny it.

01:15:01The design was exactly my taste.

01:15:04But no matter how beautiful it was,

01:15:06it couldn't mend what had already been broken.

01:15:10Look closer,

01:15:11Cain said softly,

01:15:12at the center of the moonstone.

01:15:14I followed his gaze.

01:15:17Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.

01:15:20A and K,

01:15:22forever.

01:15:23The moon goddess is our witness.

01:15:26My love for you will last forever, too.

01:15:29I stared at the stone,

01:15:31at the tiny letters carved into its heart.

01:15:34Then I turned to him,

01:15:36and met his eyes.

01:15:38Eyes filled with something that looked like love.

01:15:42Will your love for me really last forever?

01:15:47A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.

01:15:51I, Cain, swear,

01:15:53swear that I will love Arya forever.

01:15:56For my entire life.

01:15:58If I break this oath,

01:16:00may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.

01:16:04Such a solemn vow.

01:16:06And yet,

01:16:07it couldn't warm a heart

01:16:09that had already gone cold.

01:16:12He had already broken it.

01:16:13And still,

01:16:15he kept acting.

01:16:17Didn't he get tired?

01:16:19I turned my face away,

01:16:21unwilling to look at him any longer.

01:16:24Cain seemed about to say something else,

01:16:26but his phone suddenly rang.

01:16:28His expression shifted,

01:16:29just slightly,

01:16:31before he stepped aside to answer.

01:16:33When he returned,

01:16:34there was a trace of apology on his face.

01:16:38Little wolf,

01:16:39something urgent just came up.

01:16:41Go ahead and try the dress.

01:16:42If anything needs adjusting,

01:16:43just tell the staff.

01:16:46He left in a hurry,

01:16:48not even waiting for a response.

01:16:50I watched his retreating figure,

01:16:53a bitter thought settling in.

01:16:56Cain had never walked away from me

01:16:58for pack business.

01:16:59And just before he left,

01:17:01I had caught it.

01:17:03That flicker in his eyes.

01:17:05Raw,

01:17:07instinctive desire.

01:17:09Work?

01:17:10Hardly.

01:17:11He was going to see her.

01:17:14When I returned to the pack house,

01:17:16I immediately felt it.

01:17:18The slight dip in the mattress.

01:17:20The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla

01:17:24and lingering scent,

01:17:25thick with unmistakable desire.

01:17:28The thought hit me all at once.

01:17:31Cain and that beta had been here,

01:17:33on this bed.

01:17:34Entwined.

01:17:35My stomach twisted violently.

01:17:38I rushed into the bathroom and threw up,

01:17:40unable to stop.

01:17:42Cain had just come back.

01:17:44The moment he saw me like that,

01:17:46panic flashed across his face.

01:17:49Little wolf,

01:17:50did you eat something bad?

01:17:51I'll call a healer right now.

01:17:55I grabbed his wrist,

01:17:57my eyes still red.

01:17:59I'm fine.

01:18:00I just thought of something disgusting.

01:18:04Cain dropped to his knees beside me,

01:18:07gently patting my back,

01:18:08his expression full of distress.

01:18:11Don't think about things like that.

01:18:13Seeing you like this,

01:18:15it hurts me too.

01:18:17I looked down at him,

01:18:19at the open collar of his shirt,

01:18:21and the marks on his skin.

01:18:24Bite marks,

01:18:25fresh,

01:18:26obvious.

01:18:27Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.

01:18:30How strong did Cain have to be

01:18:32to carry another woman's marks on his body,

01:18:35and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?

01:18:39His voice grew sharper,

01:18:41more agitated.

01:18:43Who did this to you?

01:18:45Who made Maid?

01:18:47My little wolf like this.

01:18:50Tell me.

01:18:51I'll tear them apart.

01:18:53A bitter smile tugged at my lips.

01:18:57Cain,

01:18:58you're the one who did this to me.

01:19:01Sometime deep into the night,

01:19:02I woke to the sound of a low,

01:19:05restrained growl.

01:19:06Half asleep,

01:19:07I reached out,

01:19:09instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.

01:19:12But the bed was empty.

01:19:14I sat up and went downstairs.

01:19:16As I reached the second floor,

01:19:18I heard it.

01:19:20A woman's breathless voice.

01:19:23Soft,

01:19:24broken.

01:19:25I froze for a second,

01:19:27forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest,

01:19:30then walked toward the guest room.

01:19:32The door was wide open.

01:19:34Moonlight spilled across the room,

01:19:36illuminating two bodies tangled together.

01:19:40Inside,

01:19:41Cain was bare from the waist up.

01:19:43The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.

01:19:46The long skirt pushed up to her waist.

01:19:49Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.

01:19:52Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck,

01:19:56her voice unsteady.

01:19:57Alpha,

01:19:59the dress I just got today,

01:20:01you already torn it.

01:20:03Cain let out a low chuckle,

01:20:05leaning in close to her ear,

01:20:07his voice rough.

01:20:08You,

01:20:10you wore it for me,

01:20:11didn't you?

01:20:13I even had the designer make one just for you.

01:20:17So tonight,

01:20:18shouldn't you be satisfying me?

01:20:21She clung to him,

01:20:22her voice breaking,

01:20:24hoarse.

01:20:25Alpha,

01:20:26I can't,

01:20:28I can't take ache anymore.

01:20:31Then,

01:20:31breathless,

01:20:32she tilted her head back.

01:20:34What if Aria sees us?

01:20:37Cain stilled,

01:20:38his expression turning cold as he cut her off.

01:20:41She's useless.

01:20:43She doesn't understand anything.

01:20:45Don't you dare tell her about us.

01:20:47The beta traced circles against his chest.

01:20:50Her tone soft,

01:20:51almost hurt.

01:20:53I know.

01:20:53I just,

01:20:56she's about to become your mate,

01:20:58and I'll always have to stay hidden.

01:21:01It makes me sad.

01:21:04Cain's expression softened slightly.

01:21:07You jealous little thing.

01:21:09I already brought you into this house.

01:21:11Isn't that enough?

01:21:13Don't worry.

01:21:14Even after the mate bond,

01:21:16I won't leave you.

01:21:17Whatever Aria has,

01:21:19you'll have to.

01:21:21Moonlight lit up my face,

01:21:23where I stood outside the door.

01:21:25I covered my mouth,

01:21:27but the tears were already falling,

01:21:30blurring everything.

01:21:31Every sound from inside the room

01:21:33pierced into me like silver blades,

01:21:36carving wound after wound into my chest.

01:21:38I turned and ran,

01:21:41barefoot,

01:21:42straight out into the rain.

01:21:45Cold water soaked through me,

01:21:47but I didn't stop.

01:21:48I just needed to get away,

01:21:50as far away as possible.

01:21:52Through the haze,

01:21:53I thought I saw him,

01:21:55a younger Cain,

01:21:57the one I had once loved.

01:22:00His eyes were clear,

01:22:02sincere,

01:22:03filled with something real.

01:22:06Little Wolf,

01:22:07leave him.

01:22:09Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore,

01:22:11and never forgive him.

01:22:14My vision burned,

01:22:15as I looked at that memory.

01:22:17At the Alpha,

01:22:19I had once given my heart to.

01:22:22Okay.

01:22:22I whispered.

01:22:24I will leave you,

01:22:27and I will never forgive you.

01:22:35I will never forgive him.

01:22:35I will sollen you necessary by

01:22:35because of my mind.

01:22:35The thought?

01:22:35I will never even forgive you.

01:22:36You've been afraid of me,

01:22:36I will never forgive you.

01:22:36I will just be as sż Noch.

01:22:36I will never forgive you.
