00:00:24Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you
00:00:29requested. In 10 days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony. The voice on the other end
00:00:35finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too long. Good. My voice
00:00:41came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it. Rest assured, no one will question it.
00:00:48We'll simulate a death by silver. No wolf survives that kind of damage. Only then did I let out
00:00:56a
00:00:56slow breath. After confirming the remaining details, I hung up and pushed open the door to the private
00:01:03room. The noise inside died the instant I stepped in. Every wolf there could catch the faint pine
00:01:10scent clinging to me. The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Kane. Kane, seated at the
00:01:18center,
00:01:19rose immediately. His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern. His voice
00:01:26dropped, rough with Alpha authority. My little wolf, where did you go? I can smell fear on you.
00:01:35He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze and forced down the
00:01:41bitterness rising in my chest. I shook my head. I'm fine. Let's just keep going. Still holding
00:01:48my hand, Kane led me back to my seat. The room gradually came back to life, until someone spoke
00:01:55up. Kane, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond. So what are you planning
00:02:01to do with your little beta pet? My nails dug into my palm. Being the useless one who couldn't
00:02:08shift. I'd long since gotten used to names like that. But I could still clearly smell
00:02:14another woman's scent, lingering on Kane. Someone beside the speaker nudged him.
00:02:23Hey, watch it. Your Luna's right here. He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.
00:02:29What's the problem? It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.
00:02:35I'm just curious how Kane plans to deal with his little bitch.
00:02:39All eyes turned to Kane. A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.
00:02:45I'll keep her.
00:02:46He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.
00:02:52She's just a pet I keep around. My only mate is Aria.
00:02:56He smirked faintly.
00:02:58But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.
00:03:02So I've kept it well hidden. Even after the mate bond. I won't let her find out.
00:03:09His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.
00:03:15Watch your mouths. If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.
00:03:21These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked them.
00:03:26If anything, they sounded amused.
00:03:29Kane's got it bad. Can't even let his little toy get exposed.
00:03:33Well, she can't shift. Figures she'd be fragile.
00:03:37Someone's eyes lit up. Curiosity getting the better of him.
00:03:42Kane, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at
00:03:51home?
00:03:52Kane chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.
00:03:55Of course. It's been wild.
00:04:01The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.
00:04:05Kane really knows how to play!
00:04:08A useless one like that? Easy to fool.
00:04:12Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.
00:04:18Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.
00:04:23Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.
00:04:28No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.
00:04:31My knuckles had gone white.
00:04:33No one knew.
00:04:35Three days ago, I had my awakening.
00:04:40And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.
00:04:44I would never complete a mate bond with Kane.
00:04:47On the day of the ceremony, the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.
00:04:54A fake one.
00:04:55Kane glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.
00:05:00My little wolf, why aren't you eating?
00:05:04I looked at him.
00:05:05At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern and forced a faint smile.
00:05:13What were you all talking about that got you so excited?
00:05:16Kane smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
00:05:28Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.
00:05:33I caught every single one of them.
00:05:35The mockery.
00:05:36The cruelty.
00:05:37It burned.
00:05:39My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver.
00:05:43The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.
00:05:45They had been talking about him and that woman, yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.
00:05:53Kane, I never realized you could lie so easily.
00:05:58I set my silver fork down and stood.
00:06:01I didn't want to hear another word of it.
00:06:03The moment I moved to leave, Kane was on his feet.
00:06:07A flicker of panic crossing his face.
00:06:10Little wolf, what's wrong?
00:06:13I shook my head.
00:06:14My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.
00:06:19I'm tired.
00:06:21I want to go back to the pack house.
00:06:23I didn't wait for his response.
00:06:26I turned and walked out.
00:06:28Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.
00:06:34A mating display was playing.
00:06:37Aria, be my mate.
00:06:39The words stretched across the center in bold, impossible-to-miss letters.
00:06:46People passing by slowed down.
00:06:48Their voices full of envy.
00:06:53Oh my god, I heard Alpha Kane's girl can't shift, so he rented the biggest screen in the
00:06:57city just so she could clearly see the words,
00:06:59Be my mate?
00:07:01That's insanely romantic.
00:07:04He treats that girl so well.
00:07:06After the mate bond, he's going to be the perfect Alpha.
00:07:11I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.
00:07:18A week ago, I would have reacted the same way.
00:07:22I would have believed in Kane's love without question.
00:07:26I was born into a declining pack.
00:07:29From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.
00:07:34Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace.
00:07:38A failure.
00:07:40Kane entered my life under those circumstances.
00:07:44He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.
00:07:48But I had seen this kind of attention before.
00:07:52Cruel games disguised as affection.
00:07:55So I avoided him.
00:07:5799 times he confessed.
00:08:0099 times I turned him down.
00:08:04Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked.
00:08:07He threw himself over me without hesitation.
00:08:10Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move.
00:08:15He held his position, shielding me with his body.
00:08:19When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.
00:08:25And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me was reach out and gently touch my face.
00:08:32My little wolf, as long as you're safe.
00:08:36That was the moment everything changed.
00:08:39For the first time, I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking
00:08:45everything for.
00:08:46The walls around my heart cracked open for him.
00:08:50The wound from the Silver never fully healed.
00:08:54It left behind a permanent circular scar.
00:08:57Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
00:09:04For five years, he never wavered.
00:09:07He treated me with the same devotion, the same care, as if I were the only one who mattered.
00:09:16Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.
00:09:22And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real.
00:09:27Something more.
00:09:29I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the
00:09:35mate ritual.
00:09:36If it failed, I would have died.
00:09:39But I survived.
00:09:41Not only that, I gained something rare.
00:09:45Empathic sense.
00:09:46I decided to keep it a secret.
00:09:49I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
00:09:53But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart.
00:09:58Through that new ability, I sensed him.
00:10:01Kane.
00:10:02Talking to his beta pet.
00:10:03Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.
00:10:09That was when I learned the truth.
00:10:12He had already betrayed our bond.
00:10:15For an entire year.
00:10:17And I had known nothing.
00:10:19A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.
00:10:26His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again.
00:10:30Even with the mate ceremony approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship.
00:10:37Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?
00:10:42The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless.
00:10:46But my mind had never been clearer.
00:10:49I would show Kane the truth.
00:10:51Lies don't last forever.
00:10:54And I would never forgive betrayal.
00:10:56I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest.
00:11:01Just as I was about to head back, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
00:11:08Kane's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.
00:11:13It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to breathe.
00:11:18Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me?
00:11:21Are you in a bad mood today?
00:11:23Then let me take you to see your mate dress.
00:11:26The custom piece just arrived.
00:11:29He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to the back of my neck,
00:11:34gently stroking the spot where his marking remained.
00:11:40I don't feel like going.
00:11:41Just pick it yourself.
00:11:44I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.
00:11:47There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.
00:11:51Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone.
00:11:54His voice softened, almost cautious.
00:11:58Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?
00:12:03Do you not want to bond with me anymore?
00:12:06I looked at him, at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.
00:12:11I almost told him the truth.
00:12:13Yes, I don't want this anymore.
00:12:16You were the one who betrayed us first.
00:12:19You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.
00:12:22You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.
00:12:26And now you're asking me why?
00:12:29But I wasn't ready to expose everything, not yet.
00:12:34At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside,
00:12:38an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress prepared in advance.
00:12:43Miss, the gown Alpha Kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.
00:12:47Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.
00:12:51The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous.
00:12:55Moonstones were set into the bodice, casting a soft, sacred glow.
00:13:01Kane wrapped an arm around my waist.
00:13:03My little wolf, do you like it?
00:13:06I couldn't deny it.
00:13:08The design was exactly my taste.
00:13:10But no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't mend what had already been broken.
00:13:17Look closer, Kane said softly.
00:13:20At the center of the moonstone.
00:13:22I followed his gaze.
00:13:24Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.
00:13:27A and K.
00:13:29Forever.
00:13:30The moon goddess is our witness.
00:13:33My love for you will last forever, too.
00:13:37I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart.
00:13:41Then I turned to him and met his eyes.
00:13:45Eyes filled with something that looked like love.
00:13:49Will your love for me really last forever?
00:13:54A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.
00:13:59I Kane, swear, swear that I will love Arya forever.
00:14:03For my entire life.
00:14:06If I break this oath, may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.
00:14:11Such a solemn vow.
00:14:13And yet, it couldn't warm a heart that had already gone cold.
00:14:19He had already broken it.
00:14:20And still, he kept acting.
00:14:24Didn't he get tired?
00:14:26I turned my face away, unwilling to look at him any longer.
00:14:31Kane seemed about to say something else, but his phone suddenly rang.
00:14:35His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer.
00:14:40When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.
00:14:45Little wolf, something urgent just came up.
00:14:48Go ahead and try the dress.
00:14:49If anything needs adjusting, just tell the staff.
00:14:53He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.
00:14:58I watched his retreating figure, a bitter thought settling in.
00:15:03Kane had never walked away from me for pack business.
00:15:06And just before he left, I had caught it.
00:15:09That flicker in his eyes.
00:15:12Raw, instinctive desire.
00:15:16Work?
00:15:17Hardly.
00:15:19He was going to see her.
00:15:21When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.
00:15:25The slight dip in the mattress.
00:15:28The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla and lingering scent, thick with unmistakable desire.
00:15:35The thought hit me all at once.
00:15:38Kane and that beta had been here, on this bed.
00:15:41Entwined.
00:15:43My stomach twisted violently.
00:15:45I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop.
00:15:50Kane had just come back.
00:15:51The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.
00:15:56Little wolf, did you eat something bad?
00:15:58I'll call a healer right now.
00:16:02I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red.
00:16:06I'm fine.
00:16:07I just thought of something disgusting.
00:16:11Kane dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
00:16:18Don't think about things like that.
00:16:20Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
00:16:24I looked down at him, at the open collar of his shirt,
00:16:28and the marks on his skin.
00:16:31Bite marks, fresh, obvious.
00:16:34Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.
00:16:37How strong did Kane have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body
00:16:42and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?
00:16:46His voice grew sharper, more agitated.
00:16:50Who did this to you?
00:16:52Who made maid?
00:16:54My little wolf like this.
00:16:57Tell me.
00:16:58I'll tear them apart.
00:17:00A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
00:17:04Kane, you're the one who did this to me.
00:17:08Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl.
00:17:13Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.
00:17:19But the bed was empty.
00:17:21I sat up and went downstairs.
00:17:23As I reached the second floor, I heard it.
00:17:27A woman's breathless voice.
00:17:30Soft, broken.
00:17:32I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest,
00:17:37then walked toward the guest room.
00:17:39The door was wide open.
00:17:41Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.
00:17:47Inside, Kane was bare from the waist up.
00:17:50The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.
00:17:53The long skirt pushed up to her waist.
00:17:56Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.
00:18:00Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck, her voice unsteady.
00:18:04Alpha, the dress I just got today, you already torn it.
00:18:10Kane let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
00:18:15You wore it for me, didn't you?
00:18:20I even had the designer make one just for you.
00:18:24So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?
00:18:28She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
00:18:33Alpha, I can't, I can't take ache anymore.
00:18:38Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
00:18:42What if Aria sees us?
00:18:44Kane stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
00:18:48She's useless.
00:18:50She doesn't understand anything.
00:18:52Don't you dare tell her about us.
00:18:54The beta traced circles against his chest, her tone soft, almost hurt.
00:18:59I know, I just, she's about to become your mate, and I'll always have to stay hidden.
00:19:09It makes me sad.
00:19:11Kane's expression softened slightly.
00:19:14You jealous little thing.
00:19:16I already brought you into this house.
00:19:18Isn't that enough?
00:19:20Don't worry.
00:19:21Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you.
00:19:24Whatever area has, you'll have too.
00:19:28Moonlight lit up my face, where I stood outside the door.
00:19:32I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.
00:19:38Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades, carving wound after wound into my chest.
00:19:46I turned and ran, barefoot, straight out into the rain.
00:19:52Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.
00:19:55I just needed to get away, as far away as possible.
00:19:59Through the haze, I thought I saw him.
00:20:02A younger Kane.
00:20:04The one I had once loved.
00:20:07His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.
00:20:13Little Wolf, leave him.
00:20:16Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore.
00:20:19And never forgive him.
00:20:21My vision burned, as I looked at that memory.
00:20:25At the Alpha, I had once given my heart to.
00:20:29Okay.
00:20:30I whispered.
00:20:31I will leave you.
00:20:34And I will never forgive you.
00:20:48Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies.
00:20:52My Alpha Kane had an affair with his mistress Beta, the day before our mating ceremony.
00:20:57He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing.
00:21:02Unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive every betrayal we uttered.
00:21:08Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.
00:21:14In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.
00:21:18The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far
00:21:23too long.
00:21:24Good.
00:21:25My voice came out low.
00:21:26A restrained edge of something feral beneath it.
00:21:30Rest assured, no one will question it.
00:21:32We'll simulate a death by silver.
00:21:35No wolf survives that kind of damage.
00:21:38Only then, did I let out a slow breath.
00:21:41After confirming the remaining details, I hung up, and pushed open the door, to the private room.
00:21:48The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.
00:21:52Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.
00:21:56The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Kane.
00:22:00Kane, seated at the center, rose immediately.
00:22:04His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern.
00:22:10His voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.
00:22:13My little wolf, where did you go?
00:22:16I can smell fear on you.
00:22:19He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze, and forced down the bitterness
00:22:25rising in my chest.
00:22:26I shook my head.
00:22:31Still holding my hand, Kane led me back to my seat.
00:22:35The room gradually came back to life, until someone spoke up.
00:22:39Kane, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond.
00:22:43So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?
00:22:47My nails dug into my palm.
00:22:49Being the useless one who couldn't shift, I'd long since gotten used to names like that.
00:22:55But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Kane.
00:23:03Someone beside the speaker nudged him.
00:23:07Hey, watch it.
00:23:08Your Luna's right here.
00:23:09He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.
00:23:13What's the problem?
00:23:15It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.
00:23:19I'm just curious how Kane plans to deal with his little bitch.
00:23:22All eyes turned to Kane.
00:23:25A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.
00:23:28I'll keep her.
00:23:30He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.
00:23:35She's just a pet I keep around.
00:23:37My only mate is Aria.
00:23:40He smirked faintly.
00:23:42But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.
00:23:46So I've kept it well hidden.
00:23:49Even after the mate bond.
00:23:51I won't let her find out.
00:23:53His gaze swept across the room.
00:23:55A surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.
00:23:59Watch your mouths.
00:24:00If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.
00:24:05These were all dominant alphas from the same circle.
00:24:08And none of this shocked them.
00:24:10If anything, they sounded amused.
00:24:13Kane's got it bad.
00:24:15Can't even let his little toy get exposed.
00:24:17Well, she can't shift.
00:24:19Figures she'd be fragile.
00:24:21Someone's eyes lit up.
00:24:23Curiosity getting the better of him.
00:24:26Kane, if Aria can't sense anything,
00:24:30then you and that beta pet,
00:24:32have you ever, you know, at home?
00:24:36Kane chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.
00:24:40Of course.
00:24:42It's been wild.
00:24:44The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.
00:24:49Kane really knows how to play.
00:24:52A useless one like that?
00:24:54Easy to fool.
00:24:56Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.
00:25:01Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.
00:25:07Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.
00:25:11No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.
00:25:15My knuckles had gone white.
00:25:17No one knew.
00:25:19Three days ago, I had my awakening.
00:25:24And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.
00:25:27I would never complete a mate bond with Kane.
00:25:31On the day of the ceremony,
00:25:33the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.
00:25:37A fake one.
00:25:39Kane glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.
00:25:44My little wolf, why aren't you eating?
00:25:47I looked at him.
00:25:49At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern
00:25:54and forced a faint smile.
00:25:56What were you all talking about that got you so excited?
00:26:00Kane smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
00:26:05They were just saying they envy envy our bond.
00:26:08That will be the most devoted pair there is.
00:26:12Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.
00:26:16I caught every single one of them.
00:26:18The mockery.
00:26:19The cruelty.
00:26:21It burned.
00:26:23My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver.
00:26:27The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.
00:26:30They had been talking about him and that woman.
00:26:33Yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.
00:26:37Kane, I never realized you could lie so easily.
00:26:41I set my silver fork down and stood.
00:26:44I didn't want to hear another word of it.
00:26:47The moment I moved to leave, Kane was on his feet.
00:26:51A flicker of panic crossing his face.
00:26:54Little wolf, what's wrong?
00:26:57I shook my head.
00:26:58My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.
00:27:02I'm tired.
00:27:05I want to go back to the pack house.
00:27:07I didn't wait for his response.
00:27:09I turned and walked out.
00:27:12Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.
00:27:17A mating display was playing.
00:27:21Aria, be my mate.
00:27:23The words stretched across the center in bold, impossible-to-miss letters.
00:27:30People passing by slowed down, their voices full of envy.
00:27:36Oh my god, I heard Alpha Kane's girl can't shift, so he rented the biggest screen in the
00:27:41city just so she could clearly see the words,
00:27:43Be my mate?
00:27:45That's insanely romantic.
00:27:48He treats that girl so well.
00:27:50After the mate bond, he's going to be the perfect Alpha.
00:27:54I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.
00:28:01A week ago, I would have reacted the same way.
00:28:05I would have believed in Kane's love without question.
00:28:10I was born into a declining pack.
00:28:13From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.
00:28:18Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace.
00:28:21A failure.
00:28:24Kane entered my life under those circumstances.
00:28:27He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.
00:28:32But I had seen this kind of attention before.
00:28:36Cruel games disguised as affection.
00:28:39So I avoided him.
00:28:4199 times he confessed.
00:28:4499 times I turned him down.
00:28:47Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked.
00:28:51He threw himself over me without hesitation.
00:28:54Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move.
00:28:59He held his position, shielding me with his body.
00:29:03When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.
00:29:09And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me was reach out and gently touch my face.
00:29:16My little wolf, as long as you're safe.
00:29:20That was the moment everything changed.
00:29:22For the first time, I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking
00:29:29everything for.
00:29:30The walls around my heart cracked open for him.
00:29:34The wound from the Silver never fully healed.
00:29:38It left behind a permanent circular scar.
00:29:41Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
00:29:48For 5 years, he never wavered.
00:29:51He treated me with the same devotion, the same care, as if I were the only one who mattered.
00:29:59Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.
00:30:06And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real.
00:30:11Something more.
00:30:12I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the
00:30:19mate ritual.
00:30:20If it failed, I would have died.
00:30:23But I survived.
00:30:25Not only that, I gained something rare.
00:30:29Empathic sense.
00:30:30I decided to keep it a secret.
00:30:33I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
00:30:37But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart.
00:30:41Through that new ability, I sensed him.
00:30:45Kane.
00:30:46Talking to his beta pet.
00:30:48Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.
00:30:53That was when I learned the truth.
00:30:56He had already betrayed our bond.
00:30:58For an entire year.
00:31:00And I had known nothing.
00:31:03A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.
00:31:10His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again.
00:31:14Even with the mate ceremony approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship.
00:31:20Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?
00:31:25The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless.
00:31:30But my mind had never been clearer.
00:31:33I would show Kane the truth.
00:31:35Lies don't last forever.
00:31:38And I would never forgive betrayal.
00:31:41I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest.
00:31:45Just as I was about to head back, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
00:31:52Kane's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.
00:31:57It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to breathe.
00:32:02Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me?
00:32:04Are you in a bad mood today?
00:32:07Then let me take you to see your mate dress.
00:32:10The custom piece just arrived.
00:32:12He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to the back of my neck,
00:32:17gently stroking the spot where his marking remained.
00:32:23I don't feel like going.
00:32:25Just pick it yourself.
00:32:27I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.
00:32:31There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.
00:32:35Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone.
00:32:38His voice softened, almost cautious.
00:32:41Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?
00:32:47Do you not want to bond with me anymore?
00:32:50I looked at him, at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.
00:32:54I almost told him the truth.
00:32:57Yes, I don't want this anymore.
00:33:00You were the one who betrayed us first.
00:33:02You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.
00:33:05You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.
00:33:10And now you're asking me why?
00:33:13But I wasn't ready to expose everything.
00:33:16Not yet.
00:33:18At the dress boutique,
00:33:20the moment we stepped inside,
00:33:21an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress prepared in advance.
00:33:26Miss,
00:33:27the gown Alpha Kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.
00:33:31Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.
00:33:35The dress was pure white,
00:33:37flowing and luminous.
00:33:39Moonstones were set into the bodice,
00:33:41casting a soft, sacred glow.
00:33:44Kane wrapped an arm around my waist.
00:33:47My little wolf,
00:33:48do you like it?
00:33:50I couldn't deny it.
00:33:52The design was exactly my taste.
00:33:55But no matter how beautiful it was,
00:33:57it couldn't mend what had already been broken.
00:34:01Look closer,
00:34:02Kane said softly,
00:34:03at the center of the moonstone.
00:34:05I followed his gaze.
00:34:08Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.
00:34:11A and K.
00:34:12Forever.
00:34:14The moon goddess is our witness.
00:34:17My love for you will last forever too.
00:34:20I stared at the stone,
00:34:22at the tiny letters carved into its heart.
00:34:25Then I turned to him,
00:34:27and met his eyes.
00:34:28Eyes filled with something that looked like love.
00:34:33Will your love for me really last forever?
00:34:38A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.
00:34:42I Kane, swear,
00:34:44swear that I will love Arya forever.
00:34:46For my entire life.
00:34:49If I break this oath,
00:34:51may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.
00:34:55Such a solemn vow.
00:34:57And yet,
00:34:58it couldn't warm a heart
00:35:00that had already gone cold.
00:35:02He had already broken it.
00:35:04And still,
00:35:06he kept acting.
00:35:07Didn't he get tired?
00:35:10I turned my face away,
00:35:12unwilling to look at him any longer.
00:35:14Kane seemed about to say something else,
00:35:17but his phone suddenly rang.
00:35:19His expression shifted,
00:35:20just slightly,
00:35:21before he stepped aside to answer.
00:35:24When he returned,
00:35:25there was a trace of apology on his face.
00:35:36He left in a hurry,
00:35:39not even waiting for a response.
00:35:41I watched his retreating figure,
00:35:44a bitter thought settling in.
00:35:47Kane had never walked away from me for pack business.
00:35:50And just before he left,
00:35:52I had caught it.
00:35:54That flicker in his eyes.
00:35:56Raw,
00:35:57instinctive desire.
00:36:00Work?
00:36:01Hardly.
00:36:02He was going to see her.
00:36:05When I returned to the pack house,
00:36:07I immediately felt it.
00:36:09The slight dip in the mattress.
00:36:12The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla,
00:36:15and lingering scent,
00:36:16thick with unmistakable desire.
00:36:19The thought hit me all at once.
00:36:21Kane and that beta had been here,
00:36:24on this bed.
00:36:24entwined.
00:36:26My stomach twisted violently.
00:36:29I rushed into the bathroom and threw up,
00:36:31unable to stop.
00:36:33Kane had just come back.
00:36:35The moment he saw me like that,
00:36:37panic flashed across his face.
00:36:40Little wolf,
00:36:41did you eat something bad?
00:36:42I'll call a healer right now.
00:36:46I grabbed his wrist,
00:36:48my eyes still red.
00:36:50I'm fine.
00:36:51I just thought of something disgusting.
00:36:55Kane dropped to his knees beside me,
00:36:58gently patting my back,
00:36:59his expression full of distress.
00:37:02Don't think about things like that.
00:37:04Seeing you like this,
00:37:06it hurts me too.
00:37:07I looked down at him,
00:37:09at the open collar of his shirt,
00:37:12and the marks on his skin.
00:37:14Bite marks,
00:37:16fresh,
00:37:16obvious.
00:37:18Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.
00:37:21How strong did Kane have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body,
00:37:26and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?
00:37:30His voice grew sharper,
00:37:32more agitated.
00:37:34Who did this to you?
00:37:36Who made Maid?
00:37:38My little wolf like this.
00:37:40Tell me.
00:37:42I'll tear them apart.
00:37:43A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
00:37:48Kane,
00:37:49you're the one who did this to me.
00:37:51Sometime deep into the night,
00:37:53I woke to the sound of a low,
00:37:56restrained growl.
00:37:57Half asleep,
00:37:58I reached out,
00:38:00instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.
00:38:02But the bed was empty.
00:38:04I sat up and went downstairs.
00:38:07As I reached the second floor,
00:38:09I heard it.
00:38:11A woman's breathless voice.
00:38:14Soft,
00:38:15broken.
00:38:16I froze for a second,
00:38:18forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest,
00:38:20then walked toward the guest room.
00:38:22The door was wide open.
00:38:25Moonlight spilled across the room,
00:38:27illuminating two bodies tangled together.
00:38:31Inside,
00:38:32Kane was bare from the waist up.
00:38:34The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.
00:38:37The long skirt pushed up to her waist.
00:38:40Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.
00:38:43Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck,
00:38:47her voice unsteady.
00:38:48Alpha,
00:38:50the dress I just got today,
00:38:52you already torn it.
00:38:54Kane let out a low chuckle,
00:38:56leaning in close to her ear,
00:38:57his voice rough.
00:38:59You...
00:39:01You wore it for me, didn't you?
00:39:04I even had the designer make one just for you.
00:39:07So tonight,
00:39:09shouldn't you be satisfying me?
00:39:11She clung to him,
00:39:13her voice breaking,
00:39:15hoarse.
00:39:16Alpha,
00:39:17I can't...
00:39:19I can't take Ake anymore.
00:39:21I can't take Ake anymore.
00:39:21Then,
00:39:22breathless,
00:39:23she tilted her head back.
00:39:25What if Aria sees us?
00:39:28Kane stilled,
00:39:29his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
00:39:32She's useless.
00:39:34She doesn't understand anything.
00:39:36Don't you dare tell her about us.
00:39:38The beta traced circles against his chest,
00:39:41her tone soft,
00:39:42almost hurt.
00:39:43I know.
00:39:44I just...
00:39:46She's about to become your mate,
00:39:49and I'll always have to stay hidden.
00:39:52It makes me sad.
00:39:55Kane's expression softened slightly.
00:39:57You jealous little thing.
00:40:00I already brought you into this house.
00:40:02Isn't that enough?
00:40:03Don't worry.
00:40:05Even after the mate bond,
00:40:07I won't leave you.
00:40:08Whatever area has,
00:40:10you'll have too.
00:40:11Moonlight lit up my face,
00:40:14where I stood outside the door.
00:40:16I covered my mouth,
00:40:18but the tears were already falling,
00:40:20blurring everything.
00:40:22Every sound from inside the room
00:40:24pierced into me like silver blades,
00:40:26carving wound after wound into my chest.
00:40:30I turned and ran.
00:40:32Barefoot.
00:40:33Straight out into the rain.
00:40:36Cold water soaked through me,
00:40:38but I didn't stop.
00:40:39I just needed to get away.
00:40:41As far away as possible.
00:40:43Through the haze,
00:40:44I thought I saw him.
00:40:46A younger Kane.
00:40:48The one I had once loved.
00:40:51His eyes were clear,
00:40:53sincere,
00:40:54filled with something real.
00:40:56Little Wolf,
00:40:58leave him.
00:41:00Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore,
00:41:02and never forgive him.
00:41:05My vision burned
00:41:06as I looked at that memory.
00:41:08At the Alpha,
00:41:10I had once given my heart to.
00:41:12Okay.
00:41:13I whispered.
00:41:15I will leave you,
00:41:18and I will never forgive you.
00:41:32five years into our marriage.
00:41:34It all turned out to be lies.
00:41:36My Alpha Kane had an affair with his mistress Beta,
00:41:39the day before our mating ceremony.
00:41:41He assumed I,
00:41:43being a wolfless wretch,
00:41:44couldn't hear a thing.
00:41:46Unaware that I had awakened,
00:41:47and could clearly perceive
00:41:49every betrayal we uttered.
00:41:52Luna,
00:41:53we've prepared the substitute blood
00:41:54and staged the fake death scene
00:41:56exactly as you requested.
00:41:58In ten days,
00:41:59your death will be revealed
00:42:00at mate ceremony.
00:42:01The voice on the other end
00:42:03finally took the edge
00:42:04off the anger
00:42:05I'd been holding back
00:42:06for far too long.
00:42:08Good.
00:42:08My voice came out low,
00:42:10a restrained edge
00:42:11of something feral beneath it.
00:42:14Rest assured,
00:42:15no one will question it.
00:42:16We'll simulate a death by silver.
00:42:19No wolf survives
00:42:20that kind of damage.
00:42:22Only then,
00:42:23did I let out a slow breath.
00:42:25After confirming
00:42:26the remaining details,
00:42:27I hung up
00:42:29and pushed open the door
00:42:30to the private room.
00:42:32The noise inside died
00:42:33the instant I stepped in.
00:42:35Every wolf there
00:42:37could catch the faint pine scent
00:42:38clinging to me.
00:42:40The unmistakable mate mark
00:42:42left by Alpha Cain.
00:42:44Cain,
00:42:45seated at the center,
00:42:47rose immediately.
00:42:48His long fingers
00:42:49closed around my hand,
00:42:51his eyes filled with concern.
00:42:53His voice dropped,
00:42:55rough with Alpha authority.
00:42:56My little wolf,
00:42:58where did you go?
00:43:00I can smell fear on you.
00:43:03He started to pull me away,
00:43:04but I caught the possessiveness
00:43:06in his gaze
00:43:07and forced down
00:43:08the bitterness rising
00:43:09in my chest.
00:43:10I shook my head.
00:43:12I'm fine.
00:43:13Let's just keep going.
00:43:15Still holding my hand,
00:43:17Cain led me back to my seat.
00:43:19The room gradually
00:43:20came back to life
00:43:21until someone spoke up.
00:43:23Cain,
00:43:24you and your wild cat
00:43:26are about to seal
00:43:26your mate bond.
00:43:28So what are you planning to do
00:43:29with your little beta pet?
00:43:31My nails dug into my palm.
00:43:33Being the useless one
00:43:35who couldn't shift,
00:43:36I'd long since gotten used
00:43:38to names like that.
00:43:39But I could still clearly smell
00:43:41another woman's scent
00:43:42lingering on Cain.
00:43:47Someone beside the speaker
00:43:49nudged him.
00:43:50Hey, watch it.
00:43:52Your Luna's right here.
00:43:53He just shrugged,
00:43:55completely unconcerned.
00:43:56What's the problem?
00:43:58It's not like the useless one
00:44:00understands the werewolf
00:44:01kind language anyway.
00:44:02I'm just curious how Cain plans
00:44:04to deal with his little bitch.
00:44:06All eyes turned to Cain.
00:44:09A flicker of disdain
00:44:10passed through his gaze.
00:44:14He peeled a shrimp
00:44:15and placed it into my bowl
00:44:17before continuing casually.
00:44:19She's just a pet I keep around.
00:44:21My only mate is Aria.
00:44:24He smirked faintly.
00:44:26But if my wild bot Aria
00:44:27ever found out the truth,
00:44:28she'd run.
00:44:29So I've kept it well hidden.
00:44:32Even after the mate bond,
00:44:35I won't let her find out.
00:44:37His gaze swept across the room,
00:44:39a surge of alpha pressure
00:44:41thickening the air.
00:44:42Watch your mouths.
00:44:44If anyone slips up in front of her,
00:44:46I'll tear you apart.
00:44:48These were all dominant alphas
00:44:50from the same circle,
00:44:52and none of this shocked them.
00:44:53If anything,
00:44:54they sounded amused.
00:44:57Cain's got it bad.
00:44:58Can't even let his little toy
00:45:00get exposed.
00:45:01Well, she can't shift.
00:45:03Figures she'd be fragile.
00:45:05Someone's eyes lit up,
00:45:07curiosity getting the better of him.
00:45:10Cain, if Aria can't sense anything,
00:45:13then you and that beta pet,
00:45:16have you ever, you know,
00:45:18at home?
00:45:19Cain chuckled,
00:45:21idly spinning the ring on his finger.
00:45:23Of course.
00:45:25It's been wild.
00:45:28The room erupted into crude laughter
00:45:30and wolfish howls.
00:45:32Cain really knows how to play.
00:45:36A useless one like that?
00:45:38Easy to fool.
00:45:40Bet the whole place
00:45:41is covered in your mess.
00:45:45Man, I'd love to see
00:45:47that wild cat's face
00:45:48when she finds out.
00:45:51Their laughter cut through the room,
00:45:53sharp and vicious.
00:45:55No one noticed how tightly
00:45:57I was gripping my silver fork.
00:45:59My knuckles had gone white.
00:46:01No one knew.
00:46:02Three days ago,
00:46:04I had my awakening.
00:46:07And no one knew
00:46:09that I had already decided to leave.
00:46:11I would never complete
00:46:13a mate bond with Cain.
00:46:15On the day of the ceremony,
00:46:17the only thing waiting for him
00:46:19would be a blood-soaked corpse.
00:46:21A fake one.
00:46:23Cain glanced at my untouched shrimp
00:46:25and immediately turned back to me.
00:46:28My little wolf,
00:46:29why aren't you eating?
00:46:31I looked at him.
00:46:33At the man whose eyes
00:46:34were filled with nothing
00:46:35but carefully crafted concern
00:46:37and forced a faint smile.
00:46:40What were you all talking about
00:46:42that got you so excited?
00:46:43Cain smiled softly
00:46:45and pressed a gentle kiss
00:46:47to the back of my hand.
00:46:49They were just saying
00:46:50they envy envy our bond.
00:46:52That will be
00:46:53the most devoted pair there is.
00:46:56Inside the private room,
00:46:58people exchanged knowing looks.
00:47:00I caught every single one of them.
00:47:02The mockery.
00:47:03The cruelty.
00:47:04It burned.
00:47:07My heart felt like
00:47:08it had been soaked
00:47:09in liquid silver.
00:47:11The pain sharp enough
00:47:12to cut through bone.
00:47:13They had been talking
00:47:15about him and that woman,
00:47:17yet somehow twisted it
00:47:18into admiration
00:47:19for what we had.
00:47:21Cain,
00:47:22I never realized
00:47:23you could lie so easily.
00:47:25I set my silver fork down
00:47:27and stood.
00:47:28I didn't want to hear
00:47:29another word of it.
00:47:31The moment I moved to leave,
00:47:33Cain was on his feet,
00:47:34a flicker of panic
00:47:36crossing his face.
00:47:37Little wolf,
00:47:38what's wrong?
00:47:40I shook my head.
00:47:42My voice came out soft,
00:47:44barely more than a breath.
00:47:46I'm tired.
00:47:49I want to go back
00:47:50to the pack house.
00:47:51I didn't wait
00:47:52for his response.
00:47:53I turned
00:47:54and walked out.
00:47:56Out on the street,
00:47:57I looked up
00:47:58and saw the massive
00:47:59LED screen
00:48:00across the road.
00:48:02A mating display
00:48:03was playing.
00:48:04Aria,
00:48:06be my mate.
00:48:07The words stretched
00:48:09across the center
00:48:10in bold,
00:48:11impossible-to-miss letters.
00:48:13People passing by
00:48:15slowed down,
00:48:16their voices
00:48:16full of envy.
00:48:20Oh my god,
00:48:21I heard Alpha Cain's
00:48:22girl can't shift
00:48:23so he rented
00:48:24the biggest screen
00:48:25in the city
00:48:25just so she could
00:48:26clearly see the words
00:48:27be my mate?
00:48:28That's insanely romantic.
00:48:31He treats that girl
00:48:33so well.
00:48:34After the mate bond,
00:48:35he's going to be
00:48:36the perfect alpha.
00:48:38I stood there,
00:48:40the subject
00:48:40of their admiration,
00:48:42and let out a quiet,
00:48:44self-mocking smile.
00:48:45A week ago,
00:48:47I would have reacted
00:48:48the same way.
00:48:49I would have believed
00:48:51in Cain's love
00:48:52without question.
00:48:54I was born
00:48:55into a declining pack.
00:48:57From the moment
00:48:58I came into this world,
00:49:00I couldn't shift.
00:49:02Among the werewolf kind,
00:49:04that made me a disgrace.
00:49:05A failure.
00:49:08A failure.
00:49:08Cain entered my life
00:49:09under those circumstances.
00:49:11He claimed it was love
00:49:13at first sight
00:49:13and pursued me relentlessly.
00:49:16But I had seen
00:49:17this kind of attention before.
00:49:19Cruel games disguised
00:49:21as affection.
00:49:23So I avoided him.
00:49:2599 times,
00:49:26he confessed.
00:49:2899 times,
00:49:29I turned him down.
00:49:31Until the night
00:49:32the silver hunters attacked.
00:49:34He threw himself
00:49:36over me
00:49:36without hesitation.
00:49:38Even when silver
00:49:39pierced straight
00:49:40through his shoulder blade,
00:49:41he didn't move.
00:49:42He held his position,
00:49:44shielding me
00:49:45with his body.
00:49:46When he woke up
00:49:48in the hospital,
00:49:49his condition
00:49:49was so weak
00:49:50he could barely
00:49:51maintain human form.
00:49:52And yet,
00:49:54the first thing
00:49:55he did when he saw me
00:49:56was reach out
00:49:57and gently touch my face.
00:50:00My little wolf,
00:50:01as long as you're safe.
00:50:04That was the moment
00:50:05everything changed.
00:50:06For the first time,
00:50:08I believed that
00:50:09even someone like me,
00:50:10someone who couldn't shift,
00:50:12could be worth
00:50:12risking everything for.
00:50:14The walls around my heart
00:50:16cracked open for him.
00:50:18The wound from the silver
00:50:20never fully healed.
00:50:22It left behind
00:50:23a permanent circular scar.
00:50:25Every time I saw it,
00:50:27my heart would ache
00:50:28in a way
00:50:28that felt dangerously
00:50:29close to love.
00:50:31For five years,
00:50:33he never wavered.
00:50:34He treated me
00:50:36with the same devotion,
00:50:37the same care,
00:50:38as if I were
00:50:39the only one who mattered.
00:50:43Even when the pack
00:50:44opposed us,
00:50:45he stood his ground,
00:50:47and asked me
00:50:48to be his mate.
00:50:49And for that
00:50:50upcoming ceremony,
00:50:52I wanted to give him
00:50:53something real.
00:50:55Something more.
00:50:56I risked my life
00:50:58to undergo
00:50:58blood awakening,
00:50:59just so I could
00:51:00truly experience
00:51:01his wild side
00:51:02during the mate ritual.
00:51:04If it failed,
00:51:05I would have died.
00:51:07But I survived.
00:51:09Not only that,
00:51:10I gained something rare.
00:51:12Empathic sense.
00:51:14I decided to keep
00:51:15it a secret.
00:51:16I wanted to surprise him
00:51:18on the day of the ceremony.
00:51:20But on the very day
00:51:22I awakened,
00:51:23everything fell apart.
00:51:25Through that new ability,
00:51:27I sensed him.
00:51:28Kane.
00:51:29Talking to his beta pet.
00:51:31Their voices were intimate,
00:51:33careless,
00:51:34filled with open flirtation.
00:51:37That was when I learned
00:51:39the truth.
00:51:40He had already
00:51:41betrayed our bond.
00:51:42for an entire year.
00:51:44And I had known nothing.
00:51:47A sharp pain
00:51:48twisted through my chest,
00:51:50forcing me to crouch down
00:51:51and wrap my arms
00:51:52around myself.
00:51:54His words from earlier
00:51:55echoed in my mind,
00:51:56over and over again.
00:51:58Even with the mate
00:51:59ceremony approaching,
00:52:01he had no intention
00:52:02of ending that relationship.
00:52:04Did he really think
00:52:05I was so worthless
00:52:07that he could deceive me
00:52:08forever?
00:52:09The winter wind
00:52:11cut through me,
00:52:12cold and merciless.
00:52:13But my mind
00:52:15had never been clearer.
00:52:17I would show Kane the truth.
00:52:19Lies don't last forever.
00:52:22And I would never
00:52:23forgive betrayal.
00:52:24I took a slow breath,
00:52:26forcing down the ache
00:52:28in my chest.
00:52:29Just as I was about
00:52:30to head back,
00:52:31a pair of strong arms
00:52:33wrapped around me
00:52:34from behind.
00:52:36Kane's scent
00:52:37surrounded me at once,
00:52:38rich with cedar
00:52:39and thick
00:52:40with possessiveness.
00:52:41It pressed in
00:52:42from all sides,
00:52:43leaving no space
00:52:44to breathe.
00:52:45Little wolf,
00:52:46why didn't you
00:52:47wait for me?
00:52:48Are you in a bad mood
00:52:49today?
00:52:50Then let me take you
00:52:52to see your mate dress.
00:52:54The custom piece
00:52:55just arrived.
00:52:56He pulled me
00:52:57into his arms,
00:52:58his hands sliding
00:52:59up to the back
00:53:00of my neck,
00:53:01gently stroking
00:53:02the spot
00:53:03where his marking
00:53:03remained.
00:53:07I don't feel like going.
00:53:09Just pick it yourself.
00:53:11I would be gone
00:53:12on the day
00:53:13of the mate ceremony.
00:53:15There was no reason
00:53:16for me to wear
00:53:17a mate dress.
00:53:18Kane seemed to sense
00:53:20the distance
00:53:20in my tone.
00:53:22His voice softened,
00:53:23almost cautious.
00:53:25Little wolf,
00:53:27why does it feel
00:53:28like you're not excited
00:53:29about the mate bond
00:53:29at all?
00:53:30Do you not want
00:53:31to bond with me
00:53:32anymore?
00:53:34I looked at him,
00:53:35at the flicker
00:53:36of panic
00:53:36in his alpha eyes.
00:53:38I almost told him
00:53:39the truth.
00:53:41Yes,
00:53:42I don't want
00:53:42this anymore.
00:53:44You were the one
00:53:45who betrayed us
00:53:46first.
00:53:46You were the one
00:53:47who dragged our bond
00:53:48through the dirt.
00:53:49You were the one
00:53:50who destroyed
00:53:50any anticipation
00:53:51I had for that
00:53:53ceremony.
00:53:54And now you're
00:53:55asking me why?
00:53:56But I wasn't ready
00:53:58to expose everything,
00:54:00not yet.
00:54:01At the dress boutique,
00:54:03the moment we
00:54:04stepped inside,
00:54:05an attendant
00:54:06drew back a curtain
00:54:07to reveal the mate
00:54:08dress prepared
00:54:09in advance.
00:54:10Miss,
00:54:11the gown
00:54:12Alpha Kane had
00:54:13blessed by the moon
00:54:13goddess has arrived.
00:54:15Please let us know
00:54:16if you'd like
00:54:16any alterations.
00:54:18The dress was
00:54:20pure white,
00:54:21flowing and luminous.
00:54:22Moonstones were
00:54:24set into the bodice,
00:54:25casting a soft,
00:54:27sacred glow.
00:54:28Kane wrapped an arm
00:54:29around my waist.
00:54:31My little wolf,
00:54:32do you like it?
00:54:34I couldn't deny it.
00:54:36The design was
00:54:37exactly my taste.
00:54:38But no matter
00:54:39how beautiful it was,
00:54:41it couldn't mend
00:54:42what had already
00:54:43been broken.
00:54:45Look closer,
00:54:46Kane said softly.
00:54:47At the center
00:54:48of the moonstone.
00:54:49I followed his gaze.
00:54:52Engraved deep
00:54:53within the gem
00:54:53were the letters.
00:54:55A and K,
00:54:56forever.
00:54:58The moon goddess
00:54:59is our witness.
00:55:01My love for you
00:55:02will last forever too.
00:55:04I stared at the stone,
00:55:06at the tiny letters
00:55:07carved into its heart.
00:55:09Then I turned to him
00:55:10and met his eyes.
00:55:12Eyes filled with something
00:55:14that looked like love.
00:55:16Will your love for me
00:55:18really last forever?
00:55:21A flicker of unease
00:55:23crossed his face
00:55:24before he answered quickly.
00:55:26I Kane,
00:55:27swear,
00:55:28swear that I will love
00:55:29Arya forever.
00:55:30For my entire life.
00:55:33If I break this oath,
00:55:35may the moon goddess
00:55:36strip me of my wolf spirit.
00:55:38such a solemn vow.
00:55:41And yet,
00:55:42it couldn't warm a heart
00:55:44that had already gone cold.
00:55:46He had already broken it.
00:55:48And still,
00:55:49he kept acting.
00:55:51Didn't he get tired?
00:55:53I turned my face away,
00:55:56unwilling to look at him
00:55:57any longer.
00:55:58Kane seemed about to say
00:56:00something else,
00:56:00but his phone suddenly rang.
00:56:02his expression shifted,
00:56:04just slightly,
00:56:05before he stepped aside
00:56:06to answer.
00:56:07When he returned,
00:56:09there was a trace
00:56:10of apology on his face.
00:56:13Little wolf,
00:56:14something urgent
00:56:14just came up.
00:56:16Go ahead and try the dress.
00:56:17If anything needs adjusting,
00:56:18just tell the staff.
00:56:20He left in a hurry,
00:56:22not even waiting
00:56:23for a response.
00:56:25I watched his
00:56:26retreating figure,
00:56:28a bitter thought
00:56:29settling in.
00:56:30Kane had never
00:56:31walked away from me
00:56:32for pack business.
00:56:34And just before he left,
00:56:36I had caught it.
00:56:37That flicker in his eyes.
00:56:40Raw,
00:56:41instinctive desire.
00:56:44Work?
00:56:45Hardly.
00:56:46He was going to see her.
00:56:49When I returned
00:56:50to the pack house,
00:56:51I immediately felt it.
00:56:53The slight dip
00:56:54in the mattress.
00:56:55The air carried
00:56:57a cloying mix of vanilla,
00:56:58and lingering scent,
00:57:00thick with
00:57:01unmistakable desire.
00:57:02The thought
00:57:03hit me all at once.
00:57:05Kane and that beta
00:57:06had been here,
00:57:07on this bed.
00:57:09Entwined.
00:57:10My stomach
00:57:11twisted violently.
00:57:13I rushed into the bathroom
00:57:14and threw up,
00:57:15unable to stop.
00:57:17Kane had just come back.
00:57:19The moment he saw me
00:57:20like that,
00:57:21panic flashed
00:57:22across his face.
00:57:24Little wolf,
00:57:25did you eat something bad?
00:57:26I'll call a healer
00:57:27right now.
00:57:30I grabbed his wrist,
00:57:32my eyes still red.
00:57:34I'm fine.
00:57:35I just
00:57:35thought of something
00:57:37disgusting.
00:57:39Kane dropped
00:57:40to his knees
00:57:40beside me,
00:57:42gently patting my back,
00:57:43his expression
00:57:44full of distress.
00:57:45Don't think about
00:57:46things like that.
00:57:48Seeing you like this,
00:57:49it hurts me too.
00:57:51I looked down at him,
00:57:53at the open collar
00:57:55of his shirt,
00:57:56and the marks
00:57:57on his skin.
00:57:58Bite marks,
00:57:59fresh,
00:58:00obvious.
00:58:01Another wave of nausea
00:58:03rose in my throat.
00:58:05How strong did Kane
00:58:06have to be to carry
00:58:07another woman's marks
00:58:09on his body,
00:58:10and still look at me
00:58:11like I was the only one
00:58:12he cared about?
00:58:14His voice grew sharper,
00:58:16more agitated.
00:58:18Who did this to you?
00:58:20Who made Maid?
00:58:22My little wolf like this.
00:58:24Tell me.
00:58:25I'll tear them apart.
00:58:27A bitter smile
00:58:29tugged at my lips.
00:58:31Kane,
00:58:32you're the one
00:58:33who did this to me.
00:58:35Sometime deep
00:58:36into the night,
00:58:37I woke to the sound
00:58:38of a low,
00:58:39restrained growl.
00:58:41Half asleep,
00:58:42I reached out,
00:58:43instinctively searching
00:58:45for the alpha
00:58:45beside me.
00:58:46But the bed
00:58:47was empty.
00:58:48I sat up
00:58:49and went downstairs.
00:58:51As I reached
00:58:52the second floor,
00:58:53I heard it.
00:58:54A woman's
00:58:56breathless voice.
00:58:57Soft,
00:58:58broken.
00:58:59I froze for a second,
00:59:01forcing down
00:59:02the sharp ache
00:59:03rising in my chest,
00:59:04then walked
00:59:05toward the guest room.
00:59:06The door was
00:59:07wide open.
00:59:09Moonlight spilled
00:59:10across the room,
00:59:11illuminating two bodies
00:59:13tangled together.
00:59:15Inside,
00:59:16Kane was bare
00:59:17from the waist up.
00:59:18The beta wore
00:59:19a strapless mermaid gown.
00:59:21The long skirt
00:59:22pushed up to her waist.
00:59:24Her pale legs
00:59:25were wrapped
00:59:25tightly around him.
00:59:27Her cheeks
00:59:28were flushed
00:59:29as she clung
00:59:29to his neck,
00:59:30her voice unsteady.
00:59:32Alpha,
00:59:33the dress
00:59:34I just got today,
00:59:36you already
00:59:36torn it.
00:59:38Kane let out
00:59:38a low chuckle,
00:59:40leaning in close
00:59:40to her ear,
00:59:41his voice rough.
00:59:43You...
00:59:44You wore it for me,
00:59:46didn't you?
00:59:47I even had the designer
00:59:49make one just for you.
00:59:51So tonight,
00:59:53shouldn't you be
00:59:54satisfying me?
00:59:55She clung to him,
00:59:57her voice breaking,
00:59:59hoarse.
01:00:00Alpha,
01:00:01I can't...
01:00:02I can't take ache anymore.
01:00:05Then,
01:00:06breathless,
01:00:07she tilted her head back.
01:00:09What if Arya
01:00:10sees us?
01:00:12Kane stilled,
01:00:13his expression
01:00:14turning cold
01:00:14as he cut her off.
01:00:16She's useless.
01:00:17She doesn't understand
01:00:19anything.
01:00:19Don't you dare
01:00:20tell her about us.
01:00:22The beta trace
01:00:23circles against
01:00:23his chest,
01:00:24her tone soft,
01:00:26almost hurt.
01:00:27I know.
01:00:28I just...
01:00:30She's about to
01:00:31become your mate,
01:00:33and I'll always
01:00:34have to stay hidden.
01:00:36It makes me sad.
01:00:39Kane's expression
01:00:40softened slightly.
01:00:41You jealous little thing.
01:00:43I already brought you
01:00:45into this house.
01:00:46Isn't that enough?
01:00:47Don't worry.
01:00:49Even after the mate bond,
01:00:50I won't leave you.
01:00:52Whatever area has,
01:00:53you'll have too.
01:00:55Moonlight
01:00:56lit up my face
01:00:57where I stood
01:00:58outside the door.
01:01:00I covered my mouth,
01:01:01but the tears
01:01:02were already falling,
01:01:04blurring everything.
01:01:06Every sound
01:01:07from inside the room
01:01:08pierced into me
01:01:09like silver blades,
01:01:10carving wound
01:01:11after wound
01:01:12into my chest.
01:01:14I turned and ran.
01:01:16Barefoot.
01:01:17Straight out
01:01:18into the rain.
01:01:19Cold water
01:01:20soaked through me,
01:01:21but I didn't stop.
01:01:23I just needed
01:01:24to get away.
01:01:25As far away
01:01:26as possible.
01:01:27Through the haze,
01:01:28I thought I saw him.
01:01:30A younger Kane.
01:01:31The one
01:01:33I had once loved.
01:01:35His eyes were clear,
01:01:37sincere,
01:01:38filled with something real.
01:01:41Little wolf,
01:01:42leave him.
01:01:44Leave the man
01:01:45who doesn't love you anymore
01:01:46and never forgive him.
01:01:48My vision burned
01:01:50as I looked
01:01:51at that memory.
01:01:52At the alpha,
01:01:53I had once
01:01:54given my heart to.
01:01:56Okay.
01:01:57I whispered.
01:01:58I will leave you
01:02:01and I will never forgive you.
01:02:16five years into our marriage.
01:02:18It all turned out
01:02:18to be lies.
01:02:20My alpha Kane
01:02:20had an affair
01:02:21with his mistress Beta
01:02:22the day before
01:02:23our mating ceremony.
01:02:25He assumed I,
01:02:27being a wolfless wretch,
01:02:28couldn't hear a thing,
01:02:30unaware that I had awakened,
01:02:31and could clearly
01:02:32precede every betrayal
01:02:34we uttered.
01:02:36Luna,
01:02:36we've prepared
01:02:37the substitute blood
01:02:38and staged
01:02:39the fake death scene
01:02:40exactly as you requested.
01:02:42In ten days,
01:02:43your death
01:02:43will be revealed
01:02:44at mate ceremony.
01:02:45The voice on the other end
01:02:47finally took the edge
01:02:48off the anger
01:02:48I'd been holding back
01:02:50for far too long.
01:02:52Good.
01:02:52My voice came out low,
01:02:54a restrained edge
01:02:55of something feral beneath it.
01:02:57Rest assured,
01:02:58no one will question it.
01:03:00We'll simulate a death
01:03:01by silver.
01:03:02No wolf survives
01:03:04that kind of damage.
01:03:05Only then,
01:03:07did I let out
01:03:07a slow breath.
01:03:09After confirming
01:03:10the remaining details,
01:03:12I hung up
01:03:12and pushed open the door
01:03:14to the private room.
01:03:16The noise inside died
01:03:17the instant I stepped in.
01:03:19Every wolf there
01:03:20could catch
01:03:21the faint pine scent
01:03:22clinging to me.
01:03:23The unmistakable
01:03:25mate mark
01:03:25left by Alpha Cain.
01:03:28Cain,
01:03:29seated at the center,
01:03:30rose immediately.
01:03:32His long fingers
01:03:33closed around my hand,
01:03:35his eyes filled
01:03:36with concern.
01:03:37His voice dropped,
01:03:39rough with Alpha authority.
01:03:41My little wolf,
01:03:42where did you go?
01:03:44I can smell fear on you.
01:03:46He started to pull me away,
01:03:48but I caught
01:03:49the possessiveness
01:03:50in his gaze
01:03:50and forced down
01:03:52the bitterness
01:03:52rising in my chest.
01:03:54I shook my head.
01:03:56I'm fine.
01:03:57Let's just keep going.
01:03:59Still holding my hand,
01:04:01Cain led me back
01:04:02to my seat.
01:04:03The room gradually
01:04:04came back to life
01:04:05until someone spoke up.
01:04:07Cain,
01:04:08you and your wildcat
01:04:09are about to seal
01:04:10your mate bond.
01:04:12So what are you planning
01:04:13to do with your little
01:04:13beta pet?
01:04:14My nails dug
01:04:15into my palm.
01:04:17Being the useless
01:04:18one who couldn't shift,
01:04:20I'd long since
01:04:21gotten used to names
01:04:22like that.
01:04:23But I could still
01:04:24clearly smell
01:04:25another woman's scent
01:04:26lingering on Cain.
01:04:31Someone beside
01:04:32the speaker
01:04:32nudged him.
01:04:34Hey, watch it.
01:04:35Your Luna's right here.
01:04:37He just shrugged,
01:04:38completely unconcerned.
01:04:40What's the problem?
01:04:42It's not like
01:04:43the useless one
01:04:44understands the
01:04:44werewolf kind language
01:04:45anyway.
01:04:46I'm just curious
01:04:47how Cain plans
01:04:48to deal with
01:04:48his little bitch.
01:04:50All eyes turned
01:04:51to Cain.
01:04:52A flicker of disdain
01:04:54passed through
01:04:55his gaze.
01:04:56I'll keep her.
01:04:58He peeled a shrimp
01:04:59and placed it
01:05:00into my bowl
01:05:01before continuing
01:05:02casually.
01:05:03She's just a pet
01:05:04I keep around.
01:05:05My only mate
01:05:06is Aria.
01:05:07He smirked faintly.
01:05:09But if my
01:05:10wild bot Aria
01:05:11ever found out
01:05:11the truth
01:05:12she'd run.
01:05:13So I've kept
01:05:14it well hidden.
01:05:16Even after
01:05:17the mate bond
01:05:18I won't let
01:05:19her find out.
01:05:21His gaze swept
01:05:22across the room
01:05:23a surge of
01:05:24alpha pressure
01:05:24thickening the air.
01:05:26Watch your mouths.
01:05:27If anyone slips
01:05:28up in front of her
01:05:29I'll tear you apart.
01:05:32These were all
01:05:33dominant alphas
01:05:34from the same circle
01:05:35and none of this
01:05:36shocked them.
01:05:37If anything
01:05:38they sounded
01:05:39amused.
01:05:40Kane's got it
01:05:41bad.
01:05:42Can't even let
01:05:43his little toy
01:05:44get exposed.
01:05:45Well she can't
01:05:46shift.
01:05:46Figures she'd be
01:05:47fragile.
01:05:49Someone's eyes
01:05:50lit up.
01:05:51Curiosity
01:05:51getting the
01:05:52better of him.
01:05:54Kane if
01:05:55Aria can't
01:05:56sense anything
01:05:57then you and
01:05:58that beta
01:05:59pet
01:06:00have you ever
01:06:01you know
01:06:01at home?
01:06:03Kane chuckled
01:06:04idly spinning the
01:06:06ring on his
01:06:06finger.
01:06:07Of course
01:06:09it's been
01:06:11wild.
01:06:12The room erupted
01:06:13into crude laughter
01:06:14and wolfish howls.
01:06:16Kane really knows
01:06:17how to play.
01:06:18Yeah!
01:06:20A useless one like
01:06:21that?
01:06:21Easy to fool.
01:06:23Bet the whole place
01:06:25is covered in your
01:06:26mess.
01:06:27Ha ha ha ha.
01:06:29Man I'd love to see
01:06:30that wild cat's face
01:06:32when she finds
01:06:33out.
01:06:34Ha ha ha.
01:06:35Their laughter
01:06:36cut through the room
01:06:37sharp and vicious.
01:06:39No one noticed
01:06:40how tightly I was
01:06:41gripping my silver
01:06:42fork.
01:06:43My knuckles had
01:06:43gone white.
01:06:45No one knew.
01:06:46Three days ago
01:06:47I had my
01:06:48awakening.
01:06:51And no one knew
01:06:53that I had already
01:06:53decided to leave.
01:06:55I would never
01:06:56complete a mate
01:06:57bond with Kane.
01:06:59On the day of
01:07:00the ceremony
01:07:00the only thing
01:07:02waiting for him
01:07:03would be a
01:07:03blood soaked
01:07:04corpse.
01:07:05A fake one.
01:07:07Kane glanced at
01:07:08my untouched
01:07:08shrimp and
01:07:09immediately turned
01:07:10back to me.
01:07:12My little wolf
01:07:13why aren't you
01:07:13eating?
01:07:15I looked at him
01:07:16at the man
01:07:17whose eyes were
01:07:18filled with
01:07:19nothing but
01:07:19carefully crafted
01:07:20concern and
01:07:22forced a faint
01:07:23smile.
01:07:24What were you
01:07:25all talking about
01:07:25that got you so
01:07:26excited?
01:07:28Kane smiled
01:07:28softly and
01:07:30pressed a gentle
01:07:30kiss to the
01:07:31back of my
01:07:32hand.
01:07:33They were just
01:07:34saying they
01:07:34envy our bond.
01:07:36That will be
01:07:37the most devoted
01:07:38pair there is.
01:07:40Inside the
01:07:41private room
01:07:41people exchanged
01:07:43knowing looks.
01:07:44I caught every
01:07:45single one of
01:07:45them.
01:07:46The mockery.
01:07:47The cruelty.
01:07:48It burned.
01:07:51My heart felt
01:07:52like it had been
01:07:52soaked in liquid
01:07:53silver.
01:07:54The pain sharp
01:07:55enough to cut
01:07:56through bone.
01:07:58They had been
01:07:58talking about
01:07:59him and that
01:08:00woman yet
01:08:01somehow twisted
01:08:02it into admiration
01:08:03for what we
01:08:04had.
01:08:05Kane, I
01:08:06never realized
01:08:07you could lie
01:08:07so easily.
01:08:09I set my
01:08:10silver fork
01:08:11down and
01:08:11stood.
01:08:12I didn't want
01:08:13to hear another
01:08:14word of it.
01:08:15The moment I
01:08:16moved to leave,
01:08:17Kane was on
01:08:17his feet, a
01:08:18flicker of panic
01:08:19crossing his
01:08:20face.
01:08:21Little wolf,
01:08:22what's wrong?
01:08:24I shook my
01:08:25head.
01:08:26My voice came
01:08:27out soft, barely
01:08:28more than a
01:08:29breath.
01:08:30I'm tired.
01:08:32I want to go
01:08:33back to the
01:08:34pack house.
01:08:35I didn't wait
01:08:36for his response.
01:08:37I turned and
01:08:38walked out.
01:08:40Out on the
01:08:40street, I
01:08:41looked up and
01:08:42saw the massive
01:08:43LED screen across
01:08:44the road.
01:08:45A mating display
01:08:47was playing.
01:08:48Aria, be my
01:08:50mate.
01:08:51The words
01:08:52stretched across
01:08:53the center in
01:08:54bold, impossible
01:08:55to miss letters.
01:08:57People passing
01:08:58by slowed down,
01:08:59their voices full
01:09:01of envy.
01:09:04Oh my god, I
01:09:05heard Alpha
01:09:06Kane's girl can't
01:09:06shift so he
01:09:07rented the biggest
01:09:08screen in the
01:09:09city just so she
01:09:09could clearly see
01:09:10the words, be my
01:09:11mate.
01:09:12That's insanely
01:09:13romantic.
01:09:15He treats that
01:09:16girl so well.
01:09:18After the mate
01:09:18bond, he's going
01:09:19to be the perfect
01:09:20alpha.
01:09:22I stood there,
01:09:23the subject of
01:09:24their admiration,
01:09:25and let out a
01:09:26quiet, self-mocking
01:09:28smile.
01:09:29A week ago, I
01:09:31would have reacted
01:09:32the same way.
01:09:33I would have
01:09:34believed in Kane's
01:09:35love without
01:09:36question.
01:09:37I was born into
01:09:39a declining pack.
01:09:41From the moment I
01:09:42came into this
01:09:43world, I couldn't
01:09:44shift.
01:09:45Among the
01:09:46werewolf kind, that
01:09:48made me a disgrace.
01:09:49a failure.
01:09:51Kane entered my
01:09:53life under those
01:09:54circumstances.
01:09:55He claimed it was
01:09:56love at first sight
01:09:57and pursued me
01:09:58relentlessly.
01:10:00But I had seen
01:10:01this kind of
01:10:02attention before.
01:10:03Cruel games disguised
01:10:05as affection.
01:10:07So I avoided him.
01:10:08ninety-nine times, he
01:10:10confessed.
01:10:11Ninety-nine times I
01:10:13turned him down.
01:10:15Until the night the
01:10:16silver hunters
01:10:17attacked, he threw
01:10:19himself over me
01:10:20without hesitation.
01:10:22Even when silver
01:10:23pierced straight
01:10:24through his
01:10:24shoulder blade, he
01:10:25didn't move.
01:10:26He held his
01:10:27position, shielding
01:10:28me with his body.
01:10:30When he woke up in
01:10:31the hospital, his
01:10:33condition was so
01:10:34weak he could barely
01:10:35maintain human
01:10:36form.
01:10:36And yet, the
01:10:38first thing he did
01:10:39when he saw me was
01:10:40reach out and gently
01:10:41touch my face.
01:10:44My little wolf, as
01:10:45long as you're safe.
01:10:47That was the moment
01:10:49everything changed.
01:10:50For the first time, I
01:10:52believed that even
01:10:53someone like me,
01:10:54someone who couldn't
01:10:55shift, could be worth
01:10:56risking everything for.
01:10:57The walls around my
01:10:59heart cracked open for
01:11:00him.
01:11:01The wound from the
01:11:03silver never fully
01:11:04healed.
01:11:05It left behind a
01:11:07permanent circular
01:11:08scar.
01:11:09Every time I saw it,
01:11:10my heart would ache in
01:11:12a way that felt
01:11:12dangerously close to
01:11:14love.
01:11:15For five years, he
01:11:17never wavered.
01:11:18He treated me with
01:11:20the same devotion, the
01:11:21same care, as if I
01:11:23were the only one who
01:11:24mattered.
01:11:27Even when the pack
01:11:28opposed us, he
01:11:30stood his ground and
01:11:31asked me to be his
01:11:32mate.
01:11:33And for that upcoming
01:11:35ceremony, I wanted to
01:11:37give him something real.
01:11:39Something more.
01:11:40I risked my life to
01:11:41undergo blood awakening,
01:11:43just so I could truly
01:11:44experience his wild side
01:11:46during the mate
01:11:46ritual.
01:11:47If it failed, I would
01:11:49have died.
01:11:51But I survived.
01:11:52Not only that, I
01:11:54gained something rare.
01:11:56Empathic sense.
01:11:58I decided to keep it a
01:12:00secret.
01:12:00I wanted to surprise
01:12:02him on the day of the
01:12:03ceremony.
01:12:04But on the very day I
01:12:06awakened, everything
01:12:07fell apart.
01:12:09Through that new
01:12:10ability, I sensed him.
01:12:12Kane.
01:12:13Talking to his beta
01:12:14pet.
01:12:15Their voices were
01:12:16intimate, careless,
01:12:18filled with open
01:12:19flirtation.
01:12:21That was when I
01:12:22learned the truth.
01:12:23He had already
01:12:24betrayed our bond.
01:12:26For an entire year.
01:12:28And I had known
01:12:29nothing.
01:12:31A sharp pain twisted
01:12:32through my chest,
01:12:34forcing me to crouch
01:12:35down and wrap my arms
01:12:36around myself.
01:12:37His words from
01:12:38earlier echoed in my
01:12:40mind, over and over
01:12:41again.
01:12:42Even with the mate
01:12:43ceremony approaching,
01:12:45he had no intention of
01:12:46ending that relationship.
01:12:48Did he really think I
01:12:49was so worthless that
01:12:51he could deceive me
01:12:52forever?
01:12:53The winter wind cut
01:12:55through me, cold and
01:12:56merciless.
01:12:57But my mind had never
01:12:59been clearer.
01:13:00I would show Kane the
01:13:02truth.
01:13:03Lies don't last forever.
01:13:05And I would never
01:13:07forgive betrayal.
01:13:08I took a slow breath,
01:13:10forcing down the ache
01:13:11in my chest.
01:13:13Just as I was about to
01:13:14head back, a pair of
01:13:16strong arms wrapped
01:13:17around me from behind.
01:13:19Kane's scent surrounded
01:13:21me at once, rich with
01:13:22cedar and thick with
01:13:24possessiveness.
01:13:25It pressed in from all
01:13:26sides, leaving no space
01:13:28to breathe.
01:13:29Little wolf, why didn't
01:13:31you wait for me?
01:13:32Are you in a bad mood
01:13:33today?
01:13:34Then let me take you to
01:13:35see your mate dress.
01:13:37The custom piece just
01:13:39arrived.
01:13:40He pulled me into his
01:13:41arms, his hands sliding
01:13:43up to the back of my neck,
01:13:44gently stroking the spot
01:13:46where his marking
01:13:47remained.
01:13:51I don't feel like going.
01:13:53Just pick it yourself.
01:13:55I would be gone on the
01:13:56day of the mate
01:13:57ceremony.
01:13:58There was no reason for
01:14:00me to wear a mate dress.
01:14:02Kane seemed to sense the
01:14:04distance in my tone.
01:14:05His voice softened,
01:14:07almost cautious.
01:14:09Little wolf, why does it
01:14:12feel like you're not
01:14:12excited about the mate
01:14:13bond at all?
01:14:14Do you not want to bond
01:14:15with me anymore?
01:14:17I looked at him, at the
01:14:19flicker of panic in his
01:14:21alpha eyes.
01:14:22I almost told him the
01:14:23truth.
01:14:25Yes, I don't want this
01:14:26anymore.
01:14:28You were the one who
01:14:29betrayed us first.
01:14:30You were the one who
01:14:31dragged our bond through
01:14:32the dirt.
01:14:33You were the one who
01:14:34destroyed any anticipation
01:14:35I had for that ceremony.
01:14:37And now you're asking me
01:14:39why?
01:14:40But I wasn't ready to
01:14:42to expose everything.
01:14:43Not yet.
01:14:45At the dress boutique,
01:14:47the moment we stepped
01:14:48inside, an attendant
01:14:50drew back a curtain to
01:14:51reveal the mate dress
01:14:52prepared in advance.
01:14:54Miss, the gown
01:14:56alpha Kane had blessed by
01:14:57the moon goddess has
01:14:58arrived.
01:14:58Please let us know if
01:15:00you'd like any
01:15:00alterations.
01:15:02The dress was pure
01:15:04white, flowing and
01:15:05luminous.
01:15:06Moonstones were set
01:15:08into the bodice, casting
01:15:09a soft, sacred glow.
01:15:12Kane wrapped an arm
01:15:13around my waist.
01:15:14My little wolf, do you
01:15:17like it?
01:15:18I couldn't deny it.
01:15:19The design was exactly
01:15:21my taste.
01:15:22But no matter how
01:15:23beautiful it was, it
01:15:25couldn't mend what had
01:15:26already been broken.
01:15:28Look closer, Kane said
01:15:30softly.
01:15:31At the center of the
01:15:32moonstone.
01:15:33I followed his gaze,
01:15:35engraved deep within the
01:15:37gem, were the letters.
01:15:39A and K, forever.
01:15:41The moon goddess is
01:15:43our witness.
01:15:45My love for you will
01:15:46last forever too.
01:15:47I stared at the stone,
01:15:49at the tiny letters
01:15:51carved into its heart.
01:15:53Then I turned to him
01:15:54and met his eyes.
01:15:56Eyes filled with
01:15:57something that looked
01:15:58like love.
01:16:00Will your love for me
01:16:01really last forever?
01:16:05A flicker of unease
01:16:07crossed his face
01:16:08before he answered
01:16:09quickly.
01:16:10I Kane, swear,
01:16:11swear that I will
01:16:12love Arya forever.
01:16:14For my entire life.
01:16:17If I break this oath,
01:16:19may the moon goddess
01:16:20strip me of my wolf spirit.
01:16:22Such a solemn vow.
01:16:24And yet, it couldn't
01:16:26warm a heart that had
01:16:28already gone cold.
01:16:30He had already broken it.
01:16:32And still,
01:16:33he kept acting.
01:16:35Didn't he get tired?
01:16:37I turned my face away,
01:16:39unwilling to look at him
01:16:41any longer.
01:16:42Kane seemed about to
01:16:43say something else,
01:16:44but his phone
01:16:45suddenly rang.
01:16:46His expression
01:16:47shifted,
01:16:48just slightly,
01:16:49before he stepped
01:16:50aside to answer.
01:16:51When he returned,
01:16:53there was a trace of
01:16:54apology on his face.
01:17:04He left in a hurry,
01:17:06not even waiting
01:17:07for a response.
01:17:09I watched his
01:17:10retreating figure,
01:17:12a bitter thought
01:17:13settling in.
01:17:14Kane had never
01:17:15walked away from me
01:17:16for pack business.
01:17:17And just before
01:17:19he left,
01:17:19I had caught it.
01:17:21That flicker
01:17:22in his eyes.
01:17:24Raw,
01:17:25instinctive desire.
01:17:27Work?
01:17:29Hardly.
01:17:30He was going
01:17:31to see her.
01:17:32When I returned
01:17:33to the pack house,
01:17:35I immediately felt it.
01:17:37The slight dip
01:17:38in the mattress.
01:17:39The air carried
01:17:41a cloying mix
01:17:41of vanilla,
01:17:42and lingering scent,
01:17:44thick with
01:17:44unmistakable desire.
01:17:46The thought
01:17:47hit me all at once.
01:17:49Kane and that
01:17:50beta had been here,
01:17:51on this bed.
01:17:53Entwined.
01:17:54My stomach
01:17:55twisted violently.
01:17:56I rushed into
01:17:57the bathroom
01:17:58and threw up,
01:17:59unable to stop.
01:18:01Kane had just
01:18:02come back.
01:18:03The moment
01:18:03he saw me like that,
01:18:05panic flashed
01:18:06across his face.
01:18:07Little wolf,
01:18:08did you eat
01:18:09something bad?
01:18:10I'll call a healer
01:18:11right now.
01:18:14I grabbed
01:18:15his wrist.
01:18:16my eyes
01:18:16still red.
01:18:18I'm fine.
01:18:19I just
01:18:19thought of
01:18:20something disgusting.
01:18:23Kane dropped
01:18:24to his knees
01:18:24beside me,
01:18:25gently patting
01:18:26my back,
01:18:27his expression
01:18:28full of distress.
01:18:29Don't think
01:18:30about things
01:18:30like that.
01:18:32Seeing you
01:18:33like this,
01:18:34it hurts me too.
01:18:35I looked
01:18:36down at him,
01:18:37at the open
01:18:38collar of his shirt,
01:18:39and the marks
01:18:41on his skin.
01:18:42Bite marks,
01:18:43fresh,
01:18:44obvious.
01:18:44another wave
01:18:46of nausea
01:18:47rose in my throat.
01:18:49How strong
01:18:50did Kane
01:18:50have to be
01:18:51to carry
01:18:51another woman's
01:18:52marks on his body
01:18:53and still look
01:18:54at me like I was
01:18:55the only one
01:18:56he cared about?
01:18:58His voice
01:18:59grew sharper,
01:19:00more agitated.
01:19:02who did this
01:19:03to you?
01:19:04Who made
01:19:04Maid?
01:19:05My little wolf
01:19:07like this?
01:19:08Tell me.
01:19:09I'll tear
01:19:10them apart.
01:19:11A bitter
01:19:12smile
01:19:13tugged
01:19:13at my lips.
01:19:15Kane,
01:19:16you're the one
01:19:17who did this
01:19:18to me.
01:19:19Sometime
01:19:20deep into
01:19:20the night,
01:19:21I woke
01:19:21to the sound
01:19:22of a low,
01:19:23restrained
01:19:24growl.
01:19:25Half asleep,
01:19:26I reached out,
01:19:27instinctively
01:19:28searching for the
01:19:29alpha beside me.
01:19:30but the bed
01:19:31was empty.
01:19:32I sat up
01:19:33and went
01:19:34downstairs.
01:19:35As I reached
01:19:36the second floor,
01:19:37I heard it.
01:19:38A woman's
01:19:39breathless voice.
01:19:41Soft,
01:19:42broken.
01:19:43I froze
01:19:44for a second,
01:19:45forcing down
01:19:46the sharp ache
01:19:47rising in my chest,
01:19:48then walked
01:19:49toward the guest room.
01:19:50The door
01:19:51was wide open.
01:19:52Moonlight
01:19:53spilled
01:19:54across the room,
01:19:55illuminating
01:19:56two bodies
01:19:56tangled together.
01:19:58Inside,
01:19:59Kane was bare
01:20:00from the waist up.
01:20:02The beta
01:20:02wore a strapless
01:20:04mermaid gown.
01:20:05The long skirt
01:20:06pushed up
01:20:06to her waist.
01:20:07Her pale legs
01:20:08were wrapped
01:20:09tightly around him.
01:20:11Her cheeks
01:20:12were flushed
01:20:12as she clung
01:20:13to his neck,
01:20:14her voice
01:20:15unsteady.
01:20:16Alpha,
01:20:17the dress
01:20:18I just got today,
01:20:19you already
01:20:20torn it.
01:20:21Kane let out
01:20:22a low chuckle,
01:20:23leaning in close
01:20:24to her ear,
01:20:25his voice rough.
01:20:26You wore it
01:20:29for me,
01:20:30didn't you?
01:20:31I even had
01:20:32the designer
01:20:33make one
01:20:33just for you.
01:20:35So tonight,
01:20:36shouldn't you
01:20:37be satisfying me?
01:20:39She clung
01:20:40to him,
01:20:41her voice
01:20:41breaking,
01:20:42hoarse.
01:20:44Alpha,
01:20:45I can't,
01:20:46I can't
01:20:47take ache
01:20:48anymore.
01:20:49Then,
01:20:50breathless,
01:20:50she tilted
01:20:51her head back.
01:20:53What if
01:20:54Aria sees us?
01:20:55Kane stilled,
01:20:56his expression
01:20:57turning cold
01:20:58as he cut her off.
01:21:00She's useless.
01:21:01She doesn't
01:21:02understand anything.
01:21:03Don't you dare
01:21:04tell her about us.
01:21:06The beta
01:21:06trace circles
01:21:07against his chest,
01:21:08her tone soft,
01:21:09almost hurt.
01:21:11I know,
01:21:12I just,
01:21:14she's about
01:21:15to become
01:21:15your mate,
01:21:16and I'll always
01:21:17have to stay hidden.
01:21:20It makes me sad.
01:21:22Kane's expression
01:21:23softened slightly.
01:21:25You jealous
01:21:26little thing.
01:21:27I already brought
01:21:28you into this house.
01:21:29Isn't that enough?
01:21:31Don't worry.
01:21:33Even after
01:21:33the mate bond,
01:21:34I won't leave you.
01:21:36Whatever area has,
01:21:37you'll have too.
01:21:39Moonlight
01:21:40lit up my face
01:21:41where I stood
01:21:42outside the door.
01:21:43I covered my mouth,
01:21:45but the tears
01:21:46were already falling,
01:21:48blurring everything.
01:21:50Every sound
01:21:51from inside
01:21:51the room
01:21:52pierced into me
01:21:53like silver blades,
01:21:54carving wound
01:21:55after wound
01:21:56into my chest.
01:21:57I turned
01:21:58and ran,
01:22:00barefoot,
01:22:01straight out
01:22:02into the rain.
01:22:03Cold water
01:22:04soaked through me,
01:22:05but I didn't stop.
01:22:06I just needed
01:22:07to get away,
01:22:08as far away
01:22:09as possible.
01:22:11Through the haze,
01:22:12I thought I saw him,
01:22:14a younger Kane,
01:22:16the one,
01:22:16I had once loved.
01:22:19His eyes were clear,
01:22:21sincere,
01:22:22filled with something real.
01:22:24Little wolf,
01:22:25leave him.
01:22:27Leave the man
01:22:28who doesn't love you anymore,
01:22:30and never forgive him.
01:22:32My vision burned
01:22:33as I looked at that memory.
01:22:36At the alpha,
01:22:37I had once given my heart to.
01:22:40Okay.
01:22:41I whispered.

01:22:45and I will never forgive you.
