No Longer Yours, My Alpha - Complete Episode Regret Romance, Werewolf Queen, AGS

Transcript

00:00:00The Northern Pack had one unbreakable rule, the Alpha Heir could never bond with a human girl.

00:00:05Despite that, Alpha Kieran Wolfe still formed a mate bond with me.

00:00:09To be with me, he openly defied the Elder's Council.

00:00:12He endured 99 lashes and was forced to kneel at the altar for three days and nights.

00:00:17Even as blood soaked through his shirt, he smiled at me and said,

00:00:21Elise, don't be afraid. I only want you.

00:00:25Eventually, the Elder's Council finally relented and agreed to let Kieran leave with me.

00:00:30However, there was one condition. He had to leave a pure-blood heir behind for the pack.

00:00:36From that moment on, the phrase I heard most from Kieran was,

00:00:39Wait.

00:00:40The first time, Kieran asked me to wait while he got another she-wolf to carry his pup.

00:00:45He slept with Cecilia Donati 33 times until she was carrying his pup.

00:00:50The second time, he told me to wait again because the first pup was a female and the Elders wanted

00:00:56a male.

00:00:57So, Kieran slept with Cecilia 99 more times until she was carrying his pup again.

00:01:02Just when I thought our ordeal was finally over,

00:01:05their daughter, Tyra Wolfe, accidentally ate Wolfsbane at her Meet the Pup party.

00:01:10Everyone was convinced I had poisoned her.

00:01:12When they threw me into the freezing cold storage room, Kieran stood at the doorway with bloodshot eyes.

00:01:17I told you to wait.

00:01:19You know what wolfpate means to our kind!

00:01:23Why would you hurt my pup?

00:01:25My fingernails dug deep into my palms as the pain tore through me.

00:01:29When the storage room door opened again, I loosened my bloodied hands.

00:01:33This time, I was not going to wait anymore.

00:01:38I pushed open the heavy doors of the Elders' Council, forcing myself to keep my voice steady.

00:01:43I said,

00:01:44I'm willing to leave Kieran Wolfe, but I have one condition.

00:01:49I want you to send me somewhere he'll never find me.

00:01:51Elder Lucian Pierce let out a satisfied laugh.

00:01:54If only you had been this sensible sooner, spending one night in the cold storage truly showed you your place.

00:02:01A human like you was never worthy of our noble alpha bloodline.

00:02:05His voice dripped with contempt as he said,

00:02:08On the night of the full moon in ten days, we'll arrange everything to send you away.

00:02:13And when that time comes, you'd better never show your face in front of Kaiman again.

00:02:18The heavy doors slammed shut abruptly, and I leaned against the mansion's cold wall.

00:02:22In the main hall, Kieran had shifted into his massive wolf form, and was gently letting his daughter, Tyra Wolfe,

00:02:30tug at his thick fur.

00:02:31Cecilia was curled against his warm belly, smiling with tender satisfaction.

00:02:36The perfect family of three looked so blissfully happy together.

00:02:39Cecilia Donati noticed me first, and immediately sat up with alert eyes.

00:02:44She instinctively pulled Tyra behind her protectively.

00:02:47Mrs. George, you're back.

00:02:49Kieran almost reflexively shifted back to human form, and handed Tyra to a servant to take up stairs.

00:02:56Their wary looks cut into me like knives.

00:02:58I'll only acknowledge pups that come from your belly.

00:03:02Now watched me like I was a murderer.

00:03:06After Tyra was taken away, Kieran approached and reached out to check my frostbitten body.

00:03:11You're back.

00:03:12Did you get hurt in the cold storage?

00:03:14As I looked at this man who had once taken ninety-nine lashes for me, my heart ached with bitterness

00:03:20as I turned away from his touch.

00:03:22He frowned slightly.

00:03:24Elise George, given last night's situation, the more I defended you, the harsher the elders' punishment would have been.

00:03:31With your human body, they might have even executed you.

00:03:34We're leaving soon anyway, and I don't want any more complications.

00:03:39Also, Tyra is innocent.

00:03:42Why would you-

00:03:43I told you it wasn't me!

00:03:44I growled, my eyes burning with tears.

00:03:47Wolf bath is a deadly poison.

00:03:49How could I possibly use something like that to hurt anyone?

00:03:53Kieran seemed startled by my intense reaction, and paused before softening his tone.

00:03:57Alright, fine. It doesn't matter now. Tyra is fine now.

00:04:03His dismissive words felt like ice picks stabbing into my heart. He still did not believe me.

00:04:08Just as the atmosphere grew tense, Cecilia approached while rubbing her slightly rounded belly.

00:04:13Mrs. George, I owe you an apology too. I was too panicked at the time.

00:04:17You're not a wolf, so you probably don't understand a mother's instinct to protect her pup.

00:04:22She raised her hand to brush her hair back, and the delicate crystal bracelet on her wrist glowed with a

00:04:27soft luster.

00:04:28My eyes widened as I grabbed her wrist.

00:04:31Where did you get this bracelet?

00:04:34I gave it to her. Cecilia likes antique pieces.

00:04:37I looked at Kieran with deep disappointment, my heart aching as if it were being cut by a knife.

00:04:43It was you.

00:04:47Kieran said matter-of-factly as he pulled my hand away.

00:04:50Consider it your apology gift to her. Besides, it's just a bracelet.

00:04:54My voice trembled with rage.

00:04:56This is the only thing my mother left me. How could you give it away? You know how much it

00:05:02means to me.

00:05:03I reached to snatch the bracelet back, but Cecilia suddenly staggered backward and clutched her stomach in apparent pain.

00:05:09She moaned weakly.

00:05:11My belly.

00:05:12Kieran immediately shoved me away roughly, his eyes turning frighteningly cold.

00:05:18Elyse! She's carrying my pup!

00:05:21He was so strong that I crashed hard into the bookshelf behind me.

00:05:24Haven't you caused enough trouble?

00:05:26My head struck against it heavily, and warm blood immediately began trickling down my neck.

00:05:31Yet, Kieran did not even look back, as he swept Cecilia into his arms and rushed out.

00:05:37Kieran.

00:05:39Cecilia sobbed weakly against his chest.

00:05:41Will our pup be okay?

00:05:44Don't be afraid. I'm here.

00:05:47He replied, his voice tenderly reassuring, each word piercing my ears.

00:05:52You'll be fine, and so will the pup.

00:05:55When Kieran carried Cecilia out of the mansion, I was still slumped on the floor with blood trickling down my

00:06:00neck from the back of my head.

00:06:02I watched his retreating figure, so urgent and panicked.

00:06:06Yet, he never looked back once.

00:06:10I looked down at the pool of blood beneath me and suddenly laughed, and the sound was bleak.

00:06:16Later, I took a carriage to the hospital, alone.

00:06:19The doctor saw how severe my injury was, and immediately began stitching and bandaging the wound.

00:06:24By the time they finished treating me, I had lost so much blood that I was dizzy and could barely

00:06:29stand.

00:06:29I had just stumbled out of the examination room when someone grabbed my wrist, roughly.

00:06:34Elise, Cecilia almost miscarried, yet you still wouldn't stop.

00:06:40You followed us to the hospital to cause more trouble.

00:06:43Kieran's voice was tight with rage.

00:06:45His brow was furrowed deeply, and his eyes held a bone-chilling coldness.

00:06:50He still carried Cecilia's suffocating perfume scent on his clothes.

00:06:53I came to the hospital, but not for her.

00:06:56I pointed to my freshly bandaged forehead.

00:06:59I was injured too, and I couldn't treat it myself.

00:07:02Kieran's expression froze.

00:07:04He finally noticed the strong scent of blood on me,

00:07:08masked by antiseptic and the thick gauze still seeping red.

00:07:14Kieran, you said that once you delivered the pup, you'd take me away.

00:07:18I said, looking at him as my nose began to sting.

00:07:20But now, do you even see me anymore?

00:07:24Kieran's frown deepened as he reached out tenderly to touch my wound.

00:07:27What happened here?

00:07:28You pushed me.

00:07:30I said calmly, dodging his touch.

00:07:32I hit the bookshelves.

00:07:35To you, it was just a casual shove, wasn't it?

00:07:39Kieran's pupils contracted as he recalled the force he had used in his moment of rage.

00:07:43For a human, it could have been fatal.

00:07:46He pulled me into his arms, guiltily.

00:07:48Elise, I'm sorry.

00:07:49I didn't mean to.

00:07:51I was just afraid something would happen to Cecilia.

00:07:53She's carrying the pack's future.

00:07:55If anything went wrong, the Elder's Council would never forgive us.

00:07:58And our departure would be delayed again.

00:08:00I let him hold me while staring blankly at the sterile white ceiling.

00:08:04I had heard these excuses too many times before.

00:08:06I understand.

00:08:08I said, pushing him away.

00:08:09Go take care of her.

00:08:10I turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist again.

00:08:13Elise, no matter what, you have to believe that I only love you.

00:08:19Everything I do is to help us escape this prison as quickly as possible.

00:08:24Kieran released my hand and, as he walked away, said,

00:08:27When I get home, I'll bring you your favorite cranberry cupcakes.

00:08:30With that, he headed toward the private healing chamber at the end of the corridor,

00:08:35where Cecilia was being cared for by the pack's finest healers.

00:08:39I stood there, watching him disappear into the distance.

00:08:42Suddenly, I laughed, and tears began streaming down my face.

00:08:45I don't believe you anymore.

00:08:47I whispered to the empty air, and to my own dying heart.

00:08:50Kieran, I will never believe any of your promises ever again.

00:08:58Kieran was gone for three days straight.

00:09:01During those three days, Cecilia sent me taunting letters every single day.

00:09:06Cecilia, what the hell do you want from me?

00:09:09My voice shaking with barely contained rage.

00:09:12I could almost hear her soft, mocking laugh through the ink.

00:09:15Oh, nothing much.

00:09:17I just thought you should see how happy your husband is without you.

00:09:19Three days.

00:09:20And he hasn't even mentioned your name once.

00:09:22The letter ended there abruptly.

00:09:24In my mind's eye, I saw Kieran gently coaxing Tyra with toys,

00:09:28while Cecilia leaned intimately against his shoulder,

00:09:32smiling sweetly as she watched the father-daughter interaction.

00:09:35I endured the heartache and read every letter she sent.

00:09:38She wrote about him keeping watch by her hospital bed deep into the night,

00:09:42feeding her soup, and holding Tyra with nothing but adoration in his eyes.

00:09:47Each word felt like a needle piercing my heart.

00:09:50The pain kept coming until suddenly, I realized I could not feel it anymore.

00:09:54Perhaps my heart had already died the moment I was locked in that ice cell.

00:09:57I was about to burn her letters when a servant brought another package.

00:10:01Inside was a sketch of my mom's crystal bracelet being toyed with in Cecilia's hands.

00:10:05Want your mother's keepsake?

00:10:07Then come get it.

00:10:10I shot to my feet so fast that my vision went black from the lingering blood loss.

00:10:16Yet, I did not care.

00:10:18I grabbed my coat and rushed out.

00:10:20In the hospital room, Cecilia was holding Tyra and humming a lullaby softly.

00:10:24Daddy loves you the most, doesn't he?

00:10:28Daddy's alpha power will be passed down to you someday.

00:10:31She looked up when she saw me, her smile deepening.

00:10:35You came.

00:10:36Did you know that during my stay here, Ciaran hasn't even gone on his territory patrols.

00:10:40He's been right here, using his pheromones to comfort me.

00:10:45And our future heir.

00:10:47She deliberately emphasized the word heir.

00:10:50My nails dug deep into my palms as I asked coldly,

00:10:53Where's the bracelet?

00:10:54Cecilia leisurely picked up the antique crystal bracelet from the bedside table,

00:10:58and dangled it from her fingertips.

00:11:00You mean this?

00:11:01She flashed a cruel smile.

00:11:03Here's the deal.

00:11:04With your human body.

00:11:06Bow to me, Ciaran's future Luna.

00:11:09And I'll consider giving it back.

00:11:11I trembled with rage.

00:11:13Don't go too far!

00:11:17Cecilia's eyes were full of disdain.

00:11:19Her arrogance on full display.

00:11:21So what if I do?

00:11:22Elise, you're nothing but a fragile, short-lived human,

00:11:26while I possess the purest alpha bloodline.

00:11:29What right do you have to compete with me for Ciaran's affection?

00:11:32Bowing to me is an honor.

00:11:34She pretended to loosen her grip.

00:11:36I'll count to three.

00:11:38If you don't get on your knees, I'll drop it.

00:11:41Two.

00:11:42One.

00:11:43I bit my lips so hard I nearly drew blood.

00:11:45My knees felt like they were filled with lead,

00:11:47but they finally crashed heavily onto the cold floor

00:11:50as I bowed down with my forehead touching the ground.

00:11:54Cecilia burst out laughing.

00:11:56Look at you!

00:11:57You really do look like a pathetic dog.

00:12:00She raised her hand, and I reached out to catch it.

00:12:03However, she released her fingers just half a step away from me.

00:12:07The crystal bracelet shattered on the floor,

00:12:10breaking into several pieces.

00:12:12Cecilia covered her grin with a look of mock surprise.

00:12:15Oh my!

00:12:17How careless of you!

00:12:18You couldn't even catch it!

00:12:19I trembled and had just lunged forward to gather the pieces

00:12:23when Cecilia suddenly screamed and fell backward against the wall.

00:12:27At that moment, the door was violently pushed open.

00:12:30Ciaran and Lucian stood in the doorway with grim expressions,

00:12:34followed by several other elders.

00:12:40Lucian demanded sternly, his voice carrying alpha authority that made me feel suffocated.

00:12:46Cecilia threw herself into Ciaran's arms, crying.

00:13:04Ciaran!

00:13:06I didn't!

00:13:08I never even touched her!

00:13:10I shook my head desperately, as Lucian glared at me with venom in his eyes.

00:13:14Suddenly, a blow heavy with werewolf strength struck me across the face.

00:13:19My vision went black, my ears rang, and blood dripped from the corner of my mouth.

00:13:23You vile woman!

00:13:25Lucian's voice sounded like an echo.

00:13:27You dare harm a pregnant she-wolf and an innocent pup!

00:13:32Another elder said coldly,

00:13:34The last punishment was too lenient.

00:13:36Guards, drag her to the punishment chamber and give her twenty flamses.

00:13:42Ciaran clenched his fists tightly and stepped forward.

00:13:44Elders, you still want to protect her?

00:13:47Lucian interrupted harshly,

00:13:49She harmed your own bloodline, even if you plan to run away with her.

00:13:53It doesn't change that this pup carries your blood!

00:13:58I trembled, instinctively looking toward Ciaran.

00:14:02He still stood there, with his knuckles white from clenching.

00:14:05In the punishment chamber, wolfguards pinned me down,

00:14:08forcing me to kneel on the stone slab in the center.

00:14:11The first lash came down, and my vision went black.

00:14:14In a daze, I remembered when I had broken up with Ciaran,

00:14:18on the day he decided to rebel against his family, to be with me.

00:14:21That night it poured rain, and he stood outside my window,

00:14:25letting the storm drench him until he burned with a high fever.

00:14:28When I went to see him, he was delirious with fever.

00:14:31Yet, he still grabbed my hand and said,

00:14:34Elise, remember, even if it means fighting the whole world,

00:14:39I want only you as my mate.

00:14:41At the fifteenth lash, I seemed to hear his gentle voice from years ago,

00:14:45when I was injured.

00:14:46How did you get hurt again?

00:14:48Let me lick it.

00:14:49It won't hurt for much longer.

00:14:52Finally, the last lash struck, and I could not hold on anymore.

00:14:55My vision went black as I completely passed out.

00:14:58Just before losing consciousness,

00:15:00I saw Ciaran anxiously pulling me into his arms.

00:15:05When I woke up again, I was lying face down on a bed.

00:15:09Even the slightest movement sent searing pain across my back.

00:15:13Elise!

00:15:14Ciaran immediately rushed over, his eyes bloodshot with exhaustion.

00:15:19You're awake.

00:15:20Does it still hurt?

00:15:22I silently pulled my hand away, unwilling to look at him.

00:15:25Ciaran stiffened for a moment before speaking again to explain.

00:15:29Elise, it's not that I didn't want to stop them,

00:15:32but in that situation, the more I resisted,

00:15:34the harsher the Elder's punishment would have been.

00:15:37Elder Lucian even considered executing you.

00:15:39I had to protect your life first.

00:15:42So, I said with a hoarse voice,

00:15:45You also believe I hurt your pup?

00:15:47Ciaran's Adam's apple bobbed once.

00:15:49Ultimately, he chose silence.

00:15:51This moment of silence was like a dull blade,

00:15:54brutally cutting through my last shred of hope.

00:15:57With reddened eyes, I slowly said,

00:16:00I'll ask you just one question.

00:16:01Ciaran Wolf, in the name of the moon and our mate bond,

00:16:06do you believe me?

00:16:09Ciaran frowned, anger creeping into his voice.

00:16:12Elise, there are bruises on Tyra,

00:16:14and Cecilia named you herself.

00:16:17There's a witness and evidence.

00:16:19How do you expect me to believe you?

00:16:21Didn't I tell you that everything would be fine once this was all over?

00:16:25Why did you have to provoke Cecilia?

00:16:27My tears suddenly started falling.

00:16:29I thought I would not feel pain anymore,

00:16:31but my chest still felt like it was being viciously torn apart.

00:16:34I hurriedly turned my head away,

00:16:36not wanting him to see me looking so pathetic and weak.

00:16:40Go.

00:16:40I whispered so quietly it was barely audible.

00:16:43Just wait a little longer, okay?

00:16:46His voice softened as he tried to approach me again.

00:16:48Soon, once Cecilia gives birth to this pup,

00:16:52we'll definitely be able to leave.

00:16:53I swear I'll take you to see the southern seas that never freeze.

00:16:59We would go back to how things were?

00:17:01I closed my eyes, my throat tightening.

00:17:04I knew well that we could never go back.

00:17:06After all, he had Cecilia now and two pups.

00:17:09For their sake, he had hurt me again and again,

00:17:12choosing others over me time after time.

00:17:14I slowly turned over to face away from him,

00:17:17not wanting to say another word.

00:17:23Kieran looked at me, his face twisted with pain.

00:17:26In the end, he only reached out to brush my hair, whispering,

00:17:29Sleep. I'll stay here with you.

00:17:32Before he even finished, the door was violently pushed open,

00:17:35and a beater stood there frantically.

00:17:37Alpha, Miss Donati has been crying and calling for you.

00:17:40The healer says emotional fluctuations may hurt the pup.

00:17:43Kieran frowned.

00:17:44He glanced at my turned back and hesitated for a moment.

00:17:48Then he stood up.

00:17:49Elise, I...

00:17:52I let out a self-mocking laugh and murmured,

00:17:55Go.

00:17:56Wait for me. I'll go check on them.

00:17:58Then come right back to take care of you.

00:18:00Watching his retreating figure, I smiled bitterly.

00:18:03You're a liar, Kyren.

00:18:06You won't be coming back.

00:18:08Sure enough, he never returned that night.

00:18:10I was discharged the next day, and it was pouring rain outside.

00:18:14I packed my belongings and stood at the hospital entrance,

00:18:18watching Kieran's carriage slowly approach.

00:18:20As soon as I opened the carriage door,

00:18:22I saw Cecilia holding Tyra in the passenger seat.

00:18:25Kieran.

00:18:26Cecilia saw me and immediately shrank closer to him.

00:18:30I...

00:18:31I haven't recovered from the shock yet.

00:18:35She covered her lower abdomen, her voice trembling.

00:18:38She can hurt me if she wants, but she can't hurt Tyra.

00:18:42Can you...

00:18:43Give me a little more time.

00:18:45Please don't make me ride in the same carriage with her for now.

00:18:48I froze as I stared at the seat that used to belong to me.

00:18:52Kieran was silent for a long time,

00:18:54then finally pushed his door open and handed me a large umbrella.

00:18:57Elise, wait here for a while.

00:18:59I'll take Cecilia home first and come right back to pick you up.

00:19:03With that, he closed the window and the black carriage sped away.

00:19:07I stood there motionless,

00:19:09watching the carriage carrying the family of three disappear at the end of the road.

00:19:13I closed my eyes,

00:19:14feeling like there was a huge hole in my chest that could never be filled,

00:19:18with cold wind rushing through it.

00:19:20I waited for a long time,

00:19:21until the rain grew heavier and the sky turned completely dark.

00:19:25Kieran had promised to come back for me,

00:19:27but he never did.

00:19:28My communication crystal had lost its glow,

00:19:30and I called out to him repeatedly through our mind link.

00:19:33Yet, there was only blocked silence on the other end.

00:19:36Seeing the sky grow darker with no sign of the storm letting up,

00:19:39I had no choice but to open the heavy umbrella and walk home.

00:19:44The fierce wind nearly snapped the umbrella frame as I stumbled forward.

00:19:49Suddenly, my foot slipped, and I fell hard into a muddy puddle.

00:19:53The umbrella cracked with a sharp sound,

00:19:55and rain instantly soaked through my entire body.

00:19:58By the time I finally made it home in my messy state,

00:20:01it was already deep into the night.

00:20:03As I stood dripping wet in the entryway,

00:20:06I heard Cecilia's tearful voice coming from the living room.

00:20:09Her voice was soft and trembling.

00:20:11Kieran.

00:20:12I know you only have Elise in your heart,

00:20:15but this really is a special situation.

00:20:18My milk ducts are blocked,

00:20:20and it hurts so much,

00:20:21and Tyara keeps crying for milk.

00:20:23She sobbed.

00:20:24The usual methods don't work.

00:20:26And the healer said,

00:20:28perhaps the pup's father has to...

00:20:31help.

00:20:38I froze at the doorway,

00:20:39and it felt like all the blood in my body had run cold.

00:20:42In the living room,

00:20:44I could not see his expression,

00:20:46only his tense back.

00:20:47After a long silence,

00:20:48I watched Kieran's left hand slowly rise,

00:20:51his fingertips parting Cecilia's clothing,

00:20:54as his right hand slid over her pale skin.

00:20:56Then, right before my eyes,

00:20:58he lowered his head,

00:20:59and pressed his lips against that softness.

00:21:04I was struck motionless,

00:21:06like lightning had hit me directly.

00:21:08Time seemed to stretch endlessly,

00:21:10each second feeling like a knife,

00:21:12stabbing into my eyes,

00:21:14and carving into my soul.

00:21:15I watched helplessly as Kieran leaned down.

00:21:18I watched as his lips touched Cecilia's chest,

00:21:21and I certainly watched as he sucked gently,

00:21:24over and over again.

00:21:26Cecilia let out a satisfied moan,

00:21:28threading her fingers through his hair.

00:21:30This side needs attention too.

00:21:32Kieran frowned slightly.

00:21:34But that side isn't blocked, is it?

00:21:35Cecilia did not answer with words.

00:21:38Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck,

00:21:40and pressed his face against her.

00:21:42After a moment of silence,

00:21:43he lowered his head again.

00:21:44I could not watch anymore,

00:21:46and bolted into the rain.

00:21:47The storm poured down on me,

00:21:50but I felt no cold.

00:21:51My mind was filled with memories

00:21:53of our first time together,

00:21:55how careful Kieran had been,

00:21:56how he had treasured me,

00:21:58and how he had whispered in my ear

00:22:00with that husky voice,

00:22:01Elise, you're my first,

00:22:03and you'll be my last.

00:22:05Now, those same lips were on another woman.

00:22:07My heart ached,

00:22:08and it hurt worse than the lashes.

00:22:10I bent over and crouched in the rain

00:22:12until my legs went numb,

00:22:13waiting until the mansion's lights finally went out,

00:22:17before stumbling back like a lost soul

00:22:19and collapsing in an empty room.

00:22:23The fever hit hard and fast in the middle of the night.

00:22:26Half conscious,

00:22:27I heard Kieran's deep, gentle voice from the master bedroom.

00:22:31He was humming an old werewolf lullaby,

00:22:33one used to soothe their young.

00:22:35Of course,

00:22:36he was doing prenatal bonding with the pup in Cecilia's belly,

00:22:39using a method reserved only for the closest of kin,

00:22:42just like he had once promised me,

00:22:45saying,

00:22:45When we have our pup,

00:22:47I'll sing our ancestors' songs to help him sleep every...

00:22:50I did not know how long had passed

00:22:52before I heard someone calling me.

00:22:54Elise!

00:22:56Elise!

00:22:56I struggled to open my eyes

00:22:59and saw Kieran sitting by the bed

00:23:00with a bowl of medicine.

00:23:02How did you get this sick?

00:23:04He touched my forehead

00:23:05with the same gentle care as before.

00:23:07However,

00:23:08when he got close,

00:23:09all I could see was what I had witnessed in that bedroom.

00:23:12I turned away,

00:23:13refusing his touch.

00:23:15Elise!

00:23:16I'll leave the medicine and water here.

00:23:18He paused,

00:23:19his voice strained.

00:23:20Cecilia is sick and carrying my pup.

00:23:23Plus,

00:23:23she has Tyra to care for,

00:23:25so she'll be staying in our house for now.

00:23:28The master bedroom will be theirs for the time being.

00:23:31You'll stay in this room for the next few days

00:23:33and shouldn't leave,

00:23:34in case they catch something from you.

00:23:35I'll have the door locked from the outside,

00:23:38and Brad will bring you food and medicine.

00:23:42Without waiting for my response,

00:23:44Kieran practically fled the room

00:23:45to go care for Cecilia and Tyra.

00:23:47The lock clicked shut,

00:23:49and my tears fell instantly.

00:23:51How ridiculous!

00:23:52I had once been the treasure

00:23:54he held in the palm of his hand,

00:23:56but now I had become nothing but a danger

00:23:58that needed to be locked away.

00:24:00Maybe it was Cecilia's doing,

00:24:02but over the next few days,

00:24:03no one brought me water or food on schedule.

00:24:06My fever would not break,

00:24:08leaving me dizzy and lightheaded,

00:24:10while I constantly heard laughter and joy from outside.

00:24:13From the living room came the sound

00:24:15of a familiar, magical projection,

00:24:17playing one Kieran used to watch with me,

00:24:19wrapped in his arms.

00:24:21Cecilia's soft voice drifted through the door,

00:24:24sweet and intimate.

00:24:25This scene always makes me cry.

00:24:27Hold me tighter, just like this.

00:24:30Kieran chuckled warmly.

00:24:32All right, come here.

00:24:34You're such a baby.

00:24:35They shared candlelit dinners in the living room,

00:24:38just like the surprises he used to cook for me every month.

00:24:41The clink of wine glasses and their quiet laughter

00:24:44carried clearly to my room.

00:24:46Later that night,

00:24:47their voices turned softer,

00:24:48more tender,

00:24:49as they talked about the future.

00:24:50If it's a boy,

00:24:51I want to name him Fenlaw.

00:24:53Strong,

00:24:54just like his father.

00:24:55What do you think?

00:24:56Fenlaw sounds perfect.

00:24:57And if it's a girl,

00:24:59Serafina,

00:25:00she'll be as beautiful as you.

00:25:02I curled up on the bed,

00:25:03biting the blanket hard,

00:25:05refusing to let myself cry out loud.

00:25:10After three full days of fever,

00:25:13I finally recovered.

00:25:14The day I walked out of my room

00:25:16happened to be Tyrell's official pack recognition ceremony,

00:25:19the Moonlight Ritual.

00:25:20The ceremony was held at the pack's sacred ground,

00:25:23a moonlit grove surrounded by ancient oak trees.

00:25:27A bonfire blazed bright

00:25:28while the scent of roasted venison filled the air,

00:25:31and the werewolves drank honey mead

00:25:33as the atmosphere grew festive.

00:25:35Lucian and several elders beamed with joy

00:25:38as they held the swaddled Tyra

00:25:40while she received blessings from the pack members.

00:25:43Exquisite jewellery and precious toys

00:25:45were piled high like a small mountain.

00:25:47Ciaran,

00:25:48this is for Cecilia.

00:25:49Lucian smiled

00:25:51as he handed over a wooden box.

00:25:53Inside was a ring set

00:25:54with an enormous milky white gem

00:25:56that seemed to pulse with moonlight.

00:25:59It was the tear of the Moon Goddess.

00:26:01She has given the wolf family

00:26:03a healthy bloodline!

00:26:06Ciaran slipped the ring onto Cecilia's finger

00:26:08and whispered gently,

00:26:09You've done so well.

00:26:11Cecilia blushed and leaned into his arms,

00:26:13and the family of three looked blissfully happy.

00:26:19The guests circled Tyra,

00:26:21praising her endlessly.

00:26:22Tyra's cry is so strong!

00:26:24She'll definitely be a powerful warrior.

00:26:26Her eyes are like Cecilia's,

00:26:28with the color of moonlight.

00:26:29What a union of powerful bloodlines!

00:26:31Long live the Alpha,

00:26:32Ciaran and Miss Donati!

00:26:34I stood in the corner watching it all.

00:26:36My nails dug deep into my palms,

00:26:38but I felt no pain.

00:26:39I didn't expect that it would be

00:26:40to pose for a portrait.

00:26:42Cecilia suddenly walked toward me

00:26:44with a wine glass,

00:26:45her smile sweet.

00:26:46The artist carefully prepared

00:26:48his magical recording crystal.

00:26:50Miss George,

00:26:51Mrs. Donati,

00:26:52please stand a little closer.

00:26:53Cecilia looked unbothered though.

00:26:55She directly pulled me

00:26:56towards the artist's easel.

00:26:57Don't worry, Miss George,

00:26:58this magical recording crystal

00:27:00won't harm you.

00:27:01It will just record

00:27:01your current state.

00:27:03Look how good Ciaran is to me now.

00:27:06Every night he stays with me,

00:27:08wrapping me in his Alpha aura

00:27:10until I sleep.

00:27:11I closed my eyes wearily,

00:27:13not wanting to listen or argue.

00:27:15We are ready.

00:27:16Just wishing it to end quickly.

00:27:17The moment the magical recording crystal

00:27:19clicked and captured the image,

00:27:20the massive totem pole behind her,

00:27:22a symbol of the pack's history,

00:27:24gave a sharp crack.

00:27:26Watch out!

00:27:29As the totem pole collapsed,

00:27:31Ciaran rushed over and grabbed me.

00:27:33The huge wooden column

00:27:34crashed to the ground,

00:27:36scraping past my back

00:27:37and raising a cloud of dust.

00:27:39Meanwhile,

00:27:40Cecilia was struck by splintered wood

00:27:42and the impact force of the collapse.

00:27:44She screamed as she fell,

00:27:45with a shocking pool of bright red blood

00:27:47spreading beneath her.

00:27:48Cecilia!

00:27:49Ciaran released me

00:27:50and rushed to her like a madman.

00:27:52Outside the operating room,

00:27:54Ciaran paced anxiously,

00:27:55watching his restless state.

00:27:57I remembered how he had kept watch

00:27:58by my bedside all night

00:28:00when I was injured

00:28:01while gathering herbs in the mountains.

00:28:03Alpha, Ciaran!

00:28:04The healer suddenly burst through the curtain.

00:28:07Miss Donati is hemorrhaging badly.

00:28:08The blood reserves don't have her blood type.

00:28:10We need an immediate donation.

00:28:12Take mine.

00:28:13That won't work.

00:28:14You're type A

00:28:14and Miss George's type O.

00:28:17Given her weakened state after the injury,

00:28:18she might not be able to handle

00:28:19the violent energy in an Alpha's blood.

00:28:21It has to be human blood.

00:28:23After hearing this,

00:28:24Ciaran's gaze snapped to me.

00:28:26At that moment,

00:28:27I felt like I had been struck by lightning.

00:28:32I stepped back abruptly,

00:28:33my voice trembling.

00:28:35I won't do it.

00:28:36My blood,

00:28:37the one thing they saw as special

00:28:39in this body they deemed a lowly humans,

00:28:41was now supposed to be used

00:28:43as a tool to save his heir.

00:28:45Elise!

00:28:45Ciaran grabbed my wrist,

00:28:47his eyes sharp.

00:28:48This isn't the time for your tantrum.

00:28:50She's carrying the pack's heir.

00:28:52If something happens,

00:28:53we'll never be able to leave.

00:28:54Do you understand?

00:28:55My heart clenched painfully.

00:28:57I wondered if he was afraid

00:28:58we could not leave,

00:28:59or that something would happen

00:29:00to their pup.

00:29:01What if I refuse?

00:29:02Ciaran's face darkened.

00:29:04I saved you,

00:29:05and that was what caused

00:29:06Cecilia's injury.

00:29:08You owe her this.

00:29:09Is giving a little blood

00:29:11really so hard?

00:29:12He looked at me

00:29:12with disappointment.

00:29:14Ilysses,

00:29:15how did you end up doing this?

00:29:17My heart stabbed with pain.

00:29:19Had I changed?

00:29:19He was the one

00:29:20who had pursued me relentlessly,

00:29:22saying I was his only possible mate.

00:29:25He was the one

00:29:26who promised to recognize

00:29:27only me for life,

00:29:28who stood in the rain

00:29:29begging me to trust

00:29:30that he could handle everything.

00:29:32Now he was saying I had changed?

00:29:36My voice shook as I replied,

00:29:38So,

00:29:39you regret saving me.

00:29:41If you could do it over,

00:29:42you'd slave Cecilia

00:29:43and your pup first,

00:29:44wouldn't you?

00:29:44Ciaran froze.

00:29:45What are you talking about?

00:29:46Something's wrong.

00:29:48Miss Donati is in critical condition.

00:29:50The healer urged anxiously.

00:29:52Any more delay

00:29:53and we'll lose both mother and pup.

00:29:55Alpha,

00:29:56make a decision quickly.

00:29:58Ciaran's eyes hardened.

00:29:59Without further hesitation,

00:30:01he ordered the guards at the door.

00:30:02Take her to the blood drawing chamber.

00:30:04I was forced into the chair

00:30:06as a hollow silver needle

00:30:07pierced my vein,

00:30:08and my blood flowed out,

00:30:10drop by drop.

00:30:11Throughout it all,

00:30:13Ciaran never once looked back at me.

00:30:14When they had drawn two vials,

00:30:16the healer hesitated.

00:30:18Alpha!

00:30:19Miss George is too weak.

00:30:21If we draw more,

00:30:22I'm afraid.

00:30:23Continue.

00:30:24Ciaran said without turning around.

00:30:26When they reached three vials,

00:30:28in my delirium,

00:30:29I seemed to see Ciaran

00:30:30from when we first met,

00:30:31standing outside the herb shop,

00:30:33smiling at me.

00:30:34I'm Ciaran Wolf,

00:30:36and I'll be back tomorrow.

00:30:37In the final moment,

00:30:39I completely lost consciousness.

00:30:43When I woke up again,

00:30:45Ciaran was sitting by the hospital bed.

00:30:47I thought he would coax me gently like before,

00:30:50begging for my forgiveness.

00:30:52Yet,

00:30:52when I opened my eyes,

00:30:54I met his cold gaze instead.

00:30:56Did you ruin the totem pole?

00:30:57My mind went completely blank.

00:30:59What are you talking about?

00:31:00Ciaran's eyes were sharp.

00:31:02The elders' council investigated,

00:31:04and found that someone had soared

00:31:06halfway through the totem pole's face.

00:31:08If it wasn't you,

00:31:10who else would be scheming so hard

00:31:12to harm Cecilia?

00:31:13A chill spread through me.

00:31:15I'll say it again.

00:31:16It wasn't me.

00:31:18Not this time.

00:31:19Not this time.

00:31:20Not the last time.

00:31:22Not the time before that.

00:31:23Do you believe me, Ciaran?

00:31:27Swear on your wolf soul,

00:31:28and tell me if you sense through our bond.

00:31:32That I'm lying!

00:31:34My voice rose into a scream,

00:31:36with the last words.

00:31:37You're still denying it!

00:31:39Ciaran's eyes turned cold.

00:31:41You always ask me to believe you.

00:31:43But what have you done?

00:31:45Cecilia ends up hurt,

00:31:47while the pups are in danger.

00:31:50I told you.

00:31:51I only treat her well because of the air.

00:31:54Why do you insist on making a scene

00:31:56if she loses the pup?

00:31:58What good does that do for us?

00:32:02My chest heaved violently

00:32:03as countless grievances and anger

00:32:05clogged my throat.

00:32:06I wanted to question him.

00:32:08To argue back.

00:32:09To scream at the top of my lungs

00:32:10that I had never hurt anyone.

00:32:12I wanted to ask if he had forgotten

00:32:14his promise to always believe me

00:32:15unconditionally and never doubt me.

00:32:17In the end,

00:32:18I just looked at him wearily,

00:32:20my voice trembling,

00:32:21as I said,

00:32:22Fine.

00:32:24Since you don't trust me,

00:32:26let's end this.

00:32:27You can break the mate on between us.

00:32:30I'll step aside so you can live happily

00:32:32as a family of four.

00:32:33Ciaran froze instantly,

00:32:35his golden pupils contracting sharply.

00:32:38What did you say?

00:32:39An uncontrolled werewolf growl

00:32:41spilled from his throat.

00:32:42I glared at him with bloodshot eyes.

00:32:45Wasn't I clear enough?

00:32:46I renounced the bond between us.

00:32:49I'm willingly stepping aside

00:32:51for you and Cecilia.

00:32:52Ciaran punched the nearby table,

00:32:54shattering it

00:32:55as wood splinters flew everywhere.

00:32:57He grabbed my wrist,

00:32:59fury rolling in his eyes.

00:33:01Elise!

00:33:03What are you saying?

00:33:05I've always loved you,

00:33:07yet you want me to be

00:33:08with another woman.

00:33:09I stared back at him stubbornly

00:33:10with teary eyes,

00:33:11saying nothing.

00:33:14After a long standoff,

00:33:16Ciaran took a deep breath.

00:33:17He forcibly suppressed his anger

00:33:19and pulled me into his arms,

00:33:21holding me so tight

00:33:22it felt like he wanted

00:33:23to merge me into his bones.

00:33:25This matter ends here.

00:33:27Cecilia has already

00:33:28forgiven you

00:33:29and I won't hold it

00:33:30against you either.

00:33:31But remember this.

00:33:33He tightened his arms,

00:33:34his voice hoarse as he said.

00:33:36Don't ever mention

00:33:37breaking the bond

00:33:37or leaving again, never!

00:33:39Everything I'm doing

00:33:40is for our future.

00:33:41I did not tell him that

00:33:42to hell with the future.

00:33:44I had already decided to leave.

00:33:46She forgave me that easily.

00:33:48No conditions.

00:33:49I asked softly,

00:33:50my voice numb.

00:33:52Ciaran's body stiffened

00:33:53and he was silent for a moment

00:33:54before releasing me.

00:33:56She wants to hold

00:33:57a moonlight vow ceremony.

00:33:59Cecilia says she wants

00:34:00the pups to know

00:34:01their parents once loved each other,

00:34:02are blessed by the moon goddess

00:34:04to give them

00:34:04a legitimate background.

00:34:06After a pause,

00:34:07he turned to look at me.

00:34:08But this vow is fake.

00:34:10I'm just going through the motions

00:34:12to give the pack

00:34:12and pups an explanation.

00:34:14Don't overthink it.

00:34:17My lips trembled,

00:34:18but I could not say a word.

00:34:20My heart felt like

00:34:21it was being squeezed

00:34:22by an icy hand,

00:34:24each beat bringing

00:34:25tearing pain and absurdity.

00:34:27Ciaran, oh Ciaran,

00:34:28you already have children with her

00:34:30and now you're even having

00:34:32the pack's most sacred

00:34:33moonlight vow ceremony.

00:34:34What part of this is fake?

00:34:36What am I supposed to be to you?

00:34:39Ciaran kept talking,

00:34:40his voice fading in and out

00:34:42as he explained the necessity

00:34:43of the ceremony

00:34:44and promised we would

00:34:45leave together afterward.

00:34:47I watched his moving lips

00:34:48and suddenly felt

00:34:49utterly exhausted.

00:34:50I slowly closed my eyes,

00:34:52letting those words

00:34:53turn to dust

00:34:54and settle on my

00:34:55already dead heart.

00:34:57I never spoke another word.

00:34:58Ciaran stayed with me

00:34:59at the healer's chamber

00:35:00for three full days,

00:35:02caring for me meticulously.

00:35:04When feeding me medicine,

00:35:05he would always blow on it

00:35:07gently first,

00:35:08then carefully bring it

00:35:09to my lips.

00:35:10At night,

00:35:11if I made the slightest movement,

00:35:12he would wake up

00:35:13startled

00:35:14and frantically grab my hand

00:35:15until he was sure I was okay.

00:35:17When the healer gave me

00:35:19magical healing needles,

00:35:20he would hold me in his arms,

00:35:22his fingers gently covering my eyes

00:35:24while he whispered soothingly,

00:35:26Don't look.

00:35:27It'll be over soon.

00:35:30However,

00:35:31after taking me home

00:35:32from the healer's chamber,

00:35:34he immediately began preparing

00:35:35for the vow ceremony.

00:35:37To prevent me from causing trouble,

00:35:39he even confiscated

00:35:40my communication crystal

00:35:41and posted guards at the door

00:35:43to watch me 24-7s.

00:35:44In the huge mansion,

00:35:46only one housekeeper

00:35:47was left to look after me.

00:35:49I did not resist

00:35:50and quietly packed my luggage.

00:35:52On the day of the vow ceremony,

00:35:54my communication crystal

00:35:55was returned to me,

00:35:56filled with magical projections

00:35:58Cecilia had sent.

00:36:00Kieran,

00:36:01in formal attire,

00:36:02tenderly placing a ring

00:36:03on Cecilia's finger.

00:36:04Both of them kissing passionately

00:36:06amid everyone's blessings.

00:36:08Their little family

00:36:09happily cutting

00:36:10a ceremonial bread together.

00:36:11Every projection

00:36:12was a blade

00:36:13carving deeper

00:36:14into my already broken heart.

00:36:16Every projection

00:36:17was a blade

00:36:18carving deeper

00:36:19into my already broken heart.

00:36:21Just as I was about

00:36:22to put the crystal away,

00:36:23the door suddenly opened.

00:36:25Lucian stood in the doorway

00:36:26and said,

00:36:27Everything's been arranged.

00:36:29He handed me a ship ticket

00:36:30and said,

00:36:31I guarantee that

00:36:33once you leave,

00:36:33he'll never find you.

00:36:35I silently took the ticket

00:36:36and picked up

00:36:37my packed leather trunk.

00:36:38As I walked out of the mansion,

00:36:40the sun was shining.

00:36:41I did not look back,

00:36:42walking toward the carriage

00:36:43waiting by the roadside.

00:36:44I did not say goodbye to Kieran.

00:36:46For the rest of my life,

00:36:48as long as the mountains rise

00:36:49and the rivers run,

00:36:51we would never meet again.

00:36:54I took a deep breath

00:36:56and forced myself

00:36:57to keep a calm expression.

00:36:58This is only temporary.

00:37:00Everything I'm doing

00:37:01is for Elise.

00:37:02The altar was already crowded

00:37:03with werewolf guests

00:37:04wearing traditional attire,

00:37:06their eyes filled with respect

00:37:08for the ancient ritual.

00:37:09Though this was merely

00:37:10a fake wedding,

00:37:11the elders' council

00:37:12had made it grand and solemn.

00:37:13I knew I should step forward

00:37:15to greet my bride,

00:37:16but my legs felt heavy.

00:37:17The alpha and his mate

00:37:19will swear in blood,

00:37:20nourishing the bond

00:37:21and uniting their honor.

00:37:23I looked down

00:37:24at the cold dagger

00:37:25and reached out,

00:37:26my fingertips trembling slightly.

00:37:27Just as my fingertips

00:37:28were about to touch the dagger,

00:37:30a violent burning pain

00:37:31from deep within my soul

00:37:32suddenly shot up

00:37:33from my heart.

00:37:34The sudden,

00:37:35soul-deep agony

00:37:36made me jerk my hand back,

00:37:37and I seemed to hear

00:37:38Elise's desperate voice

00:37:40in my ears.

00:37:40Kieran,

00:37:41are you really going

00:37:42to take a blood oath with her?

00:37:44What about me?

00:37:45What do our vows mean?

00:37:46The voice was distant,

00:37:48yet unbearably real.

00:37:51I shook my head

00:37:52and forced myself

00:37:53to calm down.

00:37:54Lucian told me,

00:37:55Elise is waiting for me

00:37:56in the mansion,

00:37:57and she won't go anywhere.

00:37:58Don't scare yourself.

00:38:00Throughout the entire process,

00:38:01I was like a puppet.

00:38:03Now the alpha

00:38:04may kiss his mate

00:38:05to complete the final step

00:38:07of the vow.

00:38:08Cheers and wolf howls

00:38:09suddenly erupted

00:38:10like a tidal wave.

00:38:11In the crest of the noise,

00:38:12I stiffly lowered my head,

00:38:14moving closer to Cecilia.

00:38:16The ceremony is complete.

00:38:18Congratulations to both of you

00:38:19for becoming mates

00:38:20under the moon goddess's witness.

00:38:22May your bloodline thrive!

00:38:24Beyond the grove,

00:38:25magical floors

00:38:26shot into the sky,

00:38:28exploding in the shape

00:38:29of wolf nuts.

00:38:30The grand ceremony

00:38:31was finally over.

00:38:33After that,

00:38:34I violently tore off

00:38:35the gorgeous ceremonial robes

00:38:36and burst forth

00:38:38with incredible speed,

00:38:39shooting out of the sacred ground

00:38:40at impossible speed.

00:38:42Faster!

00:38:43Faster!

00:38:44Faster!

00:38:46Elise!

00:38:46Wait for me!

00:38:48I slammed through

00:38:49the heavy doors

00:38:50in my massive wolf form,

00:38:51charging forward

00:38:52at breakneck speed,

00:38:54leaving destruction

00:38:54in my wake.

00:38:55The moment I shifted

00:38:56back to human form,

00:38:58I sprinted toward Elise's room

00:38:59with desperate urgency.

00:39:01Elise!

00:39:02The ceremony's over!

00:39:03We can leave now!

00:39:04Right now!

00:39:05The next moment,

00:39:06the smile on my face froze.

00:39:07It was empty.

00:39:10The closet hung bare.

00:39:12The vanity sat stripped.

00:39:13Elise!

00:39:16Elise!

00:39:17Panic surged through me.

00:39:19I spun around

00:39:19and tore through the estate,

00:39:21the library,

00:39:21the lounge,

00:39:22even the armor.

00:39:23I grabbed the trembling housekeeper.

00:39:25Where is she?

00:39:27I told you to watch her!

00:39:29I had locked her door,

00:39:30increased the guards,

00:39:32ordered the servants

00:39:33to monitor her every move.

00:39:34A human like Elise

00:39:35couldn't leave

00:39:36packed territory alone.

00:39:37So why was she gone?

00:39:39The housekeeper

00:39:40was too terrified to speak.

00:39:41Lucien emerged

00:39:42from the shadows.

00:39:44Stop looking, Kieran.

00:39:45She's already gone.

00:39:46I whipped around.

00:39:47Gone where?

00:39:48Somewhere you'll never find her.

00:39:49The moonlight vow is done.

00:39:51Focus on being alpha

00:39:52and stay with Cecilia

00:39:54and your pups.

00:39:54Gone!

00:39:55That sounded absurd.

00:39:57Elise would only leave with me

00:39:58just as she'd promised.

00:40:00She loved me.

00:40:01She had waited for everything.

00:40:03If she wanted to leave,

00:40:04she would have done it

00:40:05when I agreed to have pups

00:40:06with Cecilia.

00:40:07Did you force her to leave?

00:40:09My alpha aura burst out,

00:40:10making the walls vibrant.

00:40:14I agreed to have pups

00:40:16with Cecilia.

00:40:17I went through

00:40:18the moonlight vow.

00:40:19I gave you everything!

00:40:21Why did you still

00:40:22drive her away?

00:40:24Lucien stepped forward

00:40:25and handed me a letter.

00:40:26We didn't drive her away.

00:40:28She left on her own.

00:40:30Read this.

00:40:31I looked down.

00:40:33On the parchment,

00:40:34in Elise's handwriting,

00:40:35to Ciaran.

00:40:37My fingers trembled

00:40:38as I took the letter.

00:40:39The paper tore.

00:40:40Inside was a letter.

00:40:41Her script,

00:40:42beautiful and neat.

00:40:43By the time you read this,

00:40:45I'll be gone.

00:40:46You won't find me.

00:40:48I'm leaving

00:40:49because I don't want

00:40:50to wait anymore.

00:40:51First you said

00:40:52you just needed an heir.

00:40:54I believed you.

00:40:55Then Tyra was born

00:40:56and you said

00:40:57you needed more time.

00:40:59I believed that too.

00:41:00Then you said

00:41:01you needed a son.

00:41:03I tried to believe.

00:41:05But now you're

00:41:06taking a blood oath

00:41:07with her

00:41:07under the moon goddess witness.

00:41:10Ciaran,

00:41:10how much longer

00:41:11was I supposed to wait?

00:41:12I'm human.

00:41:14My life is short.

00:41:15I can't endure

00:41:16endless waiting.

00:41:17When the moonlight vow

00:41:18echoed through

00:41:18the sacred grounds,

00:41:20everything between us

00:41:21ended.

00:41:22The mate bond

00:41:23is severed.

00:41:24We will never

00:41:25see each other again.

00:41:27Elise.

00:41:29Only then

00:41:30did I understand.

00:41:31The pain

00:41:32during the vow.

00:41:32My wolf's

00:41:33restless howling

00:41:34had come from

00:41:35the mate bond

00:41:35severing.

00:41:36I destroyed our love

00:41:37with my own hands.

00:41:38I read the letter again.

00:41:40The paper shook

00:41:41in my trembling fingers.

00:41:42A metallic taste

00:41:43surged up my throat.

00:41:45The world

00:41:46twisted and spun.

00:41:47Colors bled away.

00:41:48The floor collapsed

00:41:49in the way.

00:41:50My entire world

00:41:51plunged into darkness.

00:41:53Alpha Ciaran,

00:41:54get the healer.

00:41:55Now!

00:41:56Overnight,

00:41:57the entire north

00:41:58buzzed with gossip

00:41:58about the wolf family's

00:42:00humiliation.

00:42:00I stood in the

00:42:01destroyed room

00:42:02glaring at Lucian

00:42:03and at Cecilia

00:42:04who clutched

00:42:05Tyra while sobbing.

00:42:06I tightened my grip

00:42:07on the knife

00:42:07against my wrist.

00:42:08Let me go find her

00:42:10or we'll all die together.

00:42:12I still believed

00:42:13Lucian

00:42:13or Cecilia

00:42:14had driven

00:42:15Elise away.

00:42:16The moment I woke up

00:42:17I planned to find her

00:42:18and run away

00:42:19but the elders

00:42:19drugged me

00:42:20and brought Cecilia

00:42:21and Tyra

00:42:21to convince me to stay.

00:42:23If Elise was still here

00:42:24I might have hesitated

00:42:25but now she was gone.

00:42:27So was my weakness.

00:42:28I had nothing to lose.

00:42:32Put the knife down!

00:42:34You're disgracing this pack!

00:42:36Ciaran,

00:42:37please

00:42:37stay for our pups.

00:42:39Everyone pressured me

00:42:40to stay with someone

00:42:41I didn't love.

00:42:42Raised pups born from duty.

00:42:44No one considered my feelings.

00:42:46No one considered Elise's.

00:42:48You've already destroyed me once!

00:42:50I didn't want to sleep with her.

00:42:52You drugged me!

00:42:55I never wanted the pups!

00:42:57My voice trembled with fury.

00:42:59Back then

00:43:00the elders council

00:43:01had conspired with Cecilia

00:43:02to drug me.

00:43:03When I woke up

00:43:04I wanted to strangle her

00:43:05then kill myself.

00:43:06The elders begged me.

00:43:07We just want an heir.

00:43:10You are the heir

00:43:11we raised for over 20 years.

00:43:13They wouldn't let me

00:43:14run away with Elise

00:43:15without leaving them anything.

00:43:16Even Cecilia

00:43:17knelt in front of me

00:43:18and begged.

00:43:19Ciaran,

00:43:20I've loved you

00:43:20for so many years.

00:43:21I've always loved you.

00:43:23Please give me a chance.

00:43:25Her voice trembled

00:43:25as she looked up at him

00:43:26with tear-filled eyes.

00:43:27I'm willing to carry your pup.

00:43:29Once the baby is born

00:43:30I'll personally help you

00:43:32leave with Elise.

00:43:32I won't stand in your way anymore.

00:43:34Just please accept me.

00:43:36I gave in

00:43:37but their greed kept growing.

00:43:39After Tyra was born

00:43:40they demanded a son.

00:43:42They kept forcing me

00:43:42to compromise.

00:43:43Now that I'd finally

00:43:44found freedom

00:43:45they'd driven Elise away.

00:43:47I couldn't accept it.

00:43:49Suddenly

00:43:49Cecilia bent over

00:43:51clutching her stomach.

00:43:53It hurts!

00:43:56Blood stained the white fabric

00:43:57under Cecilia's dress.

00:43:58Quick!

00:43:59Get help!

00:44:00After chaos

00:44:01the elders rushed

00:44:02the miscarrying Cecilia

00:44:03to the healer's chamber.

00:44:04Cecilia's mother

00:44:05Helena Graymark

00:44:06slapped me across the face.

00:44:08Blood trickled

00:44:09from the corner of my mouth

00:44:10but I stood

00:44:10like a soulless puppet.

00:44:12Mrs. Donati

00:44:13this was our fault.

00:44:14Once Cecilia recovers

00:44:15I'll make sure

00:44:16Kian takes care of her.

00:44:17Take care of her.

00:44:18Kian is ready

00:44:19to run off

00:44:19with another woman.

00:44:20Cecilia has sacrificed

00:44:21everything for him.

00:44:23Bore him one pup

00:44:23carrying another

00:44:24and this is how

00:44:24you treat her?

00:44:26Apologize!

00:44:26Now!

00:44:27I didn't move.

00:44:28I hadn't done

00:44:28anything wrong.

00:44:30Screaming,

00:44:30pleading,

00:44:31chaos

00:44:31all crushing me.

00:44:33Then an angry roar

00:44:34echoed

00:44:34This is a healer's chamber.

00:44:36Keep it down.

00:44:37The patient is coming out.

00:44:39The healer's chamber

00:44:40doors opened.

00:44:41Cecilia lay on the bed

00:44:42face pale

00:44:43magical breathing mask on.

00:44:46She just finished

00:44:47postpartum recovery

00:44:48and is pregnant again.

00:44:49Her body is extremely weak.

00:44:51She needs three months

00:44:52of strict bed rest.

00:44:53If she loses this pup too

00:44:54it'll be much harder

00:44:55for her to conceive again.

00:44:56The elders' faces fell.

00:44:57They hurried after the healer.

00:44:59The corridor emptied.

00:45:00I snapped back to reality.

00:45:02Police.

00:45:02I have to find her.

00:45:03I wheeled toward the exit

00:45:05but Lucian's guards

00:45:06blocked my path.

00:45:08Alpha

00:45:08you should see your Luna first.

00:45:10Get lost.

00:45:12Sorry Alpha.

00:45:13If you won't go willingly

00:45:14we'll escort you.

00:45:16She's carrying your pup.

00:45:18At least see the pup.

00:45:19I froze.

00:45:20Even though I couldn't

00:45:21stand Cecilia

00:45:22she was carrying my child.

00:45:24Soon

00:45:25I was wheeled

00:45:26to her isolation chamber.

00:45:27Just as the guard

00:45:28was about to knock

00:45:28voices drifted out.

00:45:30Mom

00:45:30your fake misbearance

00:45:32plan was brilliant.

00:45:33It worked perfectly

00:45:35to keep Kian here again.

00:45:36Her voice was slick

00:45:37with calculation.

00:45:38I had never heard

00:45:39her speak like that.

00:45:40Do you think

00:45:40if I make the pups

00:45:41have little accidents

00:45:42from time to time

00:45:43Kieran will eventually

00:45:45stay for good?

00:45:49Those words slithered

00:45:51into my ears

00:45:51like venom.

00:45:52My entire body

00:45:53went rigid.

00:45:54Bone deep cold

00:45:55shot up from my feet.

00:45:56The guard

00:45:56quickly stepped aside.

00:45:58Helena's smug voice

00:45:59came from inside.

00:46:00Of course

00:46:01Elise is gone

00:46:02but these tricks

00:46:04will keep Kian

00:46:05in your hands.

00:46:06My eyelids twitched.

00:46:07But don't go too far.

00:46:09With Tyra

00:46:09just give her

00:46:10a little fever

00:46:11make her cry

00:46:12never poison her

00:46:13or drop her again.

00:46:15And the one in your belly

00:46:16don't risk too much.

00:46:17Don't worry

00:46:18I know my limits

00:46:19but I already promised

00:46:20Kylan I'd let him

00:46:21leave after the ceremony.

00:46:22Even with this fake miscarriage

00:46:24what about later?

00:46:24He'll still want to find Elise.

00:46:26Relax

00:46:26I've already worked it out

00:46:28with Elder Lucian

00:46:29we've sent her far far away

00:46:30she'll never come back.

00:46:32Focus on your pregnancy.

00:46:34Once this pup is born

00:46:35all the Wolf family's

00:46:36assets will be yours.

00:46:37Veins bulged

00:46:38on the back of my hands

00:46:39so that was it.

00:46:40All those times

00:46:41Tyra got sick

00:46:42I thought it was Elise.

00:46:44It was Cecilia

00:46:45and her mother.

00:46:46They did it themselves.

00:46:47All those nights

00:46:48I abandoned Elise

00:46:49letting her get punished

00:46:50while I sat by Cecilia's

00:46:52or Tyra's bedside.

00:46:54Every moment

00:46:54had been part of their plan.

00:46:56The world went silent.

00:46:58No potion smell

00:47:00no distant murmurs

00:47:02only the thunderous roar

00:47:03of blood in my ears.

00:47:05A metallic taste

00:47:06surged into my throat.

00:47:08Lucian approached

00:47:09with a bag of herbs.

00:47:10Kieran why are you

00:47:11standing there?

00:47:12Why haven't you gone in?

00:47:14He moved to open the door.

00:47:15I never expected your dad

00:47:16to give me a name

00:47:18but you must fight

00:47:19to marry into the Wolf family

00:47:21otherwise your pup

00:47:23will be like you.

00:47:24Born a bastard

00:47:25forced to live like a rat

00:47:26in the gutter.

00:47:27He never imagined

00:47:28the mother of the heir

00:47:29he'd adored for years

00:47:30was actually an illegitimate daughter

00:47:32with no status.

00:47:33The Wolf family

00:47:34was a century old dynasty.

00:47:36Every Luna

00:47:36had been born

00:47:37into noble bloodlines.

00:47:39If their Luna

00:47:40was a bastard

00:47:40they'd be the laughing stock

00:47:42of every pack.

00:47:43Cecilia had been

00:47:44Lucian's carefully chosen

00:47:45candidate

00:47:46from the equally prestigious

00:47:47Donati family.

00:47:48She was beautiful

00:47:49charming

00:47:50and had lowered herself

00:47:51to carry my pups

00:47:52before marrying in.

00:47:54Lucian had treasured her

00:47:55but now

00:47:55she was worse

00:47:57than Elise's human status.

00:48:00It finally hit us

00:48:02why Cecilia's father

00:48:03Alpha Orion Donati

00:48:05hadn't been seen

00:48:06since the ceremony.

00:48:07Lucian burst through the door.

00:48:09You despicable liars!

00:48:12How dare you deceive me!

00:48:14Screams erupted.

00:48:15Things were thrown

00:48:16and smashed.

00:48:17I wheeled inside.

00:48:19Cecilia panicked.

00:48:20Tried to get up.

00:48:21Collapsed to the floor.

00:48:23She crawled tearfully

00:48:23to my feet.

00:48:24Kieran, let me explain.

00:48:26I never meant

00:48:26to hurt our pups.

00:48:28I did it because

00:48:28I love you.

00:48:30Please don't send me away!

00:48:32Until today

00:48:32Cecilia had felt blessed.

00:48:34She thought

00:48:35she'd won me over.

00:48:36Gotten to bear children

00:48:37for the man she adored.

00:48:38But now

00:48:39everything was ruined.

00:48:40I knew the truth.

00:48:41Lucian knew.

00:48:42Soon the entire

00:48:43Wolf family would know.

00:48:45Orion had his

00:48:46legitimate wife and daughter.

00:48:47attending Cecilia's wedding

00:48:48had been his final courtesy.

00:48:50Her only path

00:48:51was to cling

00:48:52to the Wolf family.

00:48:53Pups.

00:48:54My voice was cold.

00:48:55In your eyes

00:48:56they're just tools.

00:48:58What right

00:48:59do you have

00:48:59to mention them?

00:49:01I'll give you

00:49:01ten million gold coins.

00:49:03Don't ever appear

00:49:04in front of me again.

00:49:06As I turned to leave

00:49:07Cecilia tried

00:49:09to chase after me.

00:49:12Sharp pain

00:49:13shot through

00:49:13her lower abdomen.

00:49:15She looked down

00:49:15at her dress

00:49:16in disbelief.

00:49:17Warm blood

00:49:18gushed from beneath

00:49:19her gown.

00:49:20No!

00:49:22Another rainy day.

00:49:23After the devastating blow

00:49:24Lucian was bedridden.

00:49:26I took over

00:49:27the entire Wolf family

00:49:28both the pack

00:49:29and its estates

00:49:30and businesses.

00:49:31While managing

00:49:31the empire

00:49:32I kept searching

00:49:33for Elise.

00:49:34After one week

00:49:35exhaustion was etched

00:49:36across my face.

00:49:37Still nothing.

00:49:39The guard

00:49:39stayed silent

00:49:40lowering his head.

00:49:41Lucian and the elders

00:49:42had finally agreed

00:49:43to let me bring

00:49:44Elise in

00:49:44as my Luna.

00:49:45Even without

00:49:46their approval

00:49:47I would have found

00:49:48Elise and overcome

00:49:48every obstacle

00:49:50to be with her.

00:49:51Now I had the

00:49:51pack's blessing

00:49:52so I increased

00:49:53the search efforts

00:49:53but a week passed.

00:49:55Nothing.

00:49:56Lucian had bought

00:49:57Elise a ship ticket

00:49:57to Hindland

00:49:58but when my people

00:49:59tracked her there

00:50:00she had never arrived.

00:50:01She had changed

00:50:02ships mid journey.

00:50:03Then she had boarded

00:50:04a local carriage.

00:50:06Where she went

00:50:06from there

00:50:07no one knew.

00:50:08The trail

00:50:09had gone cold

00:50:10then my assistant

00:50:11Jacob Terrell

00:50:12entered.

00:50:13Mr. Wolf

00:50:13Mr. Narty

00:50:14Cher has returned.

00:50:16Cher refuses to leave.

00:50:19Ever since the

00:50:20falling out

00:50:21Cecilia had miscarried

00:50:22and Helena had

00:50:23fallen seriously ill.

00:50:25Both women's

00:50:25status had plummeted.

00:50:27Jacob walked

00:50:27into my office

00:50:28with a troubled expression.

00:50:30Boss

00:50:30Cecilia I ask

00:50:31kneeling in the lobby

00:50:32again with the child.

00:50:33Tyra has been crying

00:50:34for Vronhauer.

00:50:35The guards

00:50:36don't dare drag

00:50:37them away

00:50:37because of the pup.

00:50:38What do you want

00:50:39us to do?

00:50:40Cecilia's tearful voice

00:50:41echoed from the doorway

00:50:42as she shouted

00:50:43toward my office.

00:50:44Kieran please!

00:50:45I know I was wrong

00:50:46I've learned my lesson

00:50:48but Tyra's sake

00:50:49don't abandon us.

00:50:50She's your daughter too.

00:50:52Stay with us.

00:50:54Just come back.

00:50:55I'll be good.

00:50:56I swear I'll never

00:50:57cause trouble again.

00:50:59Tyra needs her father.

00:51:00I looked at the small

00:51:02figure in her arms.

00:51:03Once I felt

00:51:04some paternal love

00:51:05for Tyra.

00:51:06But now

00:51:07all I could think about

00:51:08was how she carried

00:51:09half of Cecilia's blood.

00:51:11She might grow up

00:51:11to be just as malicious

00:51:12as her mother.

00:51:13My last trace of pity

00:51:14completely evaporated.

00:51:16I kept scrolling

00:51:17for news about Elise.

00:51:18When Jacob waited too long

00:51:19and was about to take

00:51:20matters into his own hands

00:51:21I finally spoke.

00:51:23If you ever dare

00:51:23bother me with this again

00:51:25you can roll out

00:51:27of here with her.

00:51:28Jacob stiffened

00:51:28and hurried out.

00:51:29Downstairs

00:51:30Cecilia was still

00:51:31on her knees

00:51:32holding Tyra.

00:51:33Her face was

00:51:34deathly pale.

00:51:35The pup had

00:51:35cried herself hoarse.

00:51:37Cecilia's eyes

00:51:38were fixed desperately

00:51:39on the Lord's

00:51:40private lift platform.

00:51:41Finally

00:51:42the elevator moved.

00:51:43It descended.

00:51:44The doors opened.

00:51:45Cecilia scrambled

00:51:46to her feet.

00:51:46Karen!

00:51:47Her hand stopped

00:51:48midair.

00:51:49Her smile froze.

00:51:54Why is it you?

00:51:56Where's Cyan?

00:51:58Jacob looked at her

00:51:59blankly.

00:52:00Mrs. Donati

00:52:00Mr. Weil

00:52:01has made everything clear.

00:52:02Since you enjoy

00:52:03tormenting pups so much

00:52:04you don't need

00:52:05to raise Tyra anymore.

00:52:07Cecilia's expression

00:52:07changed.

00:52:08She hugged Tyra tighter.

00:52:10What do you mean?

00:52:12Heeled leather boots

00:52:13clicked behind her.

00:52:14Her half-sister

00:52:15Giselle Donati

00:52:16snatched Tyra

00:52:17from her arms.

00:52:19Since you can't

00:52:20take care of her

00:52:20I will.

00:52:21I can't have pups

00:52:22anywhere.

00:52:24I'll raise her

00:52:25like she's my own.

00:52:27No, Donati!

00:52:29She tried to grab Tyra

00:52:30back.

00:52:31Giselle's armed guards

00:52:32knocked her unconscious

00:52:33and dragged her away.

00:52:35Tell Mr. Wolf

00:52:35we've taken her away.

00:52:37She won't be coming back.

00:52:38Also, congratulations

00:52:39on acquiring that field

00:52:41aid in the Northern

00:52:41Territory.

00:52:42Trading land for a pup

00:52:43an extremely profitable

00:52:45deal for both sides.

00:52:46That was the last mercy

00:52:47I would show the child.

00:52:51News of the major

00:52:52leadership changes

00:52:53in the Northern Pax

00:52:54Wolf family

00:52:55spread quickly.

00:52:56Within just a few days

00:52:57I caught up on

00:52:59Ciaran and Cecilia's

00:53:00aftermath

00:53:00through parchment scrolls

00:53:02brought by a

00:53:02travelling merchant

00:53:03while hiding out

00:53:04in a small mountain

00:53:05village in neutral

00:53:06territory

00:53:07working as a teacher.

00:53:08My heart filled

00:53:09with mixed emotions

00:53:10at this outcome.

00:53:12After all

00:53:12in my memory

00:53:13even though Ciaran

00:53:14did not love Cecilia

00:53:15he had still cared

00:53:17for her somewhat

00:53:18for the sake

00:53:18of their two pups.

00:53:19Yet in such a short

00:53:21time

00:53:21they had reached

00:53:22this kind of ending.

00:53:23Still

00:53:24none of this

00:53:25concerned me anymore.

00:53:26I had my own life

00:53:27to live now.

00:53:28I pushed the wooden

00:53:29gate open

00:53:29and watered the herbs

00:53:31growing in the yard.

00:53:32When I finished

00:53:33I set down the watering

00:53:34can

00:53:35and settled

00:53:36onto the wooden bench

00:53:37gazing peacefully

00:53:38at the orphanage

00:53:39surrounded by mountains.

00:53:40A soft voice

00:53:41suddenly called out

00:53:42from behind me.

00:53:44Miss Eliza

00:53:45are you looking

00:53:46at the mountains again?

00:53:47Will the big bad wolves

00:53:49from the north

00:53:50come here?

00:53:51The little rabbit

00:53:51eared girl

00:53:52climbed onto my lap

00:53:53hugging my arm tightly.

00:53:55Teacher

00:53:55you look sad today.

00:53:57Did someone bully you?

00:53:59Don't worry

00:54:00I'll protect you.

00:54:01I smiled

00:54:02and gently stroked

00:54:03her fluffy ears.

00:54:05No one bullied me

00:54:05Mia.

00:54:06I'm just thinking

00:54:08some people's stories

00:54:10have ended

00:54:10and mine

00:54:12has only just begun.

00:54:13Then will you stay

00:54:14with us forever?

00:54:16Don't leave

00:54:17okay?

00:54:18We all like you

00:54:19the most.

00:54:20I hugged

00:54:21the little girl

00:54:21closer

00:54:22feeling the warmth

00:54:23in my chest.

00:54:24Yes

00:54:25I'll stay.

00:54:28This is my home now.

00:54:34It was currently

00:54:35summer break

00:54:36so only a few

00:54:37teachers remained

00:54:38to watch

00:54:38over the small facility

00:54:40and I was one of them.

00:54:41One day

00:54:42a few new teachers

00:54:44invited me

00:54:44to go up the mountain

00:54:45to gather herbs

00:54:46and mushrooms.

00:54:47On the way

00:54:48Kelly linked arms

00:54:49with me

00:54:50and chatted excitedly.

00:54:51I heard Mrs. Lott

00:54:52secured another investor

00:54:53from up north.

00:54:55They're coming

00:54:55to inspect next week.

00:54:57Elise

00:54:58will you be there

00:54:59to welcome them?

00:55:00I politely declined.

00:55:01I won't be going.

00:55:03I have other things

00:55:04to handle.

00:55:06Oh

00:55:06Kelly said

00:55:07with some regret.

00:55:08I heard

00:55:09the wolf family air

00:55:10Alpha Ciaran

00:55:11is incredibly

00:55:13handsome

00:55:13and rich

00:55:14if he's the one coming.

00:55:17I smiled

00:55:17and said nothing.

00:55:18I had worked

00:55:19so hard to move on.

00:55:20I didn't want

00:55:21to see Ciaran again.

00:55:23Margaret also tried

00:55:24to persuade me

00:55:24but I firmly refused.

00:55:26Mrs. Lott

00:55:27please help cover

00:55:29for me

00:55:29when the time comes.

00:55:30Margaret sighed

00:55:31but eventually

00:55:32respected my decision.

00:55:35But I never expected

00:55:36to see Ciaran again

00:55:37so soon.

00:55:38Late that night

00:55:39when I finally returned

00:55:40to the orphanage

00:55:41with the other teachers

00:55:42I immediately spotted

00:55:43Ciaran's familiar

00:55:44black carriage

00:55:45bearing the wolf family crest.

00:55:47My heart tightened.

00:55:48As I was about

00:55:49to walk past it

00:55:50the carriage door opened.

00:55:52The door opened

00:55:53without warning

00:55:53and the two people

00:55:55who thought

00:55:55they would never

00:55:56see each other again

00:55:57suddenly came face to face.

00:55:59Time froze

00:56:00at that moment.

00:56:01The earthy smell

00:56:02of rain-soaked soil

00:56:03vanished

00:56:03and the distant sounds

00:56:05of children playing

00:56:06in the woods

00:56:06disappeared

00:56:07leaving only

00:56:08the wild beating

00:56:09of Ciaran's heart

00:56:10and his rapid breathing.

00:56:12Ciaran had not expected

00:56:13to actually see me here either.

00:56:15I looked at Ciaran as well

00:56:17never having imagined

00:56:18I would encounter him here.

00:56:20The moment I saw him

00:56:21the grief

00:56:22buried deep in my heart

00:56:23surged back up my throat

00:56:24and memories rewound

00:56:26like sand

00:56:27falling backward

00:56:28in an hourglass

00:56:29with those painful scenes

00:56:30replaying one by one

00:56:32in my mind.

00:56:33Kylan

00:56:34Why do you still

00:56:35keep coming for me?

00:56:37I want to take you home.

00:56:38He sat across from me

00:56:40his voice low

00:56:41and hoarse

00:56:42as he finally spoke.

00:56:43I found out the truth

00:56:44about Cecilia

00:56:45everything

00:56:46how she schemed

00:56:48how she lied

00:56:49how she tried

00:56:50to destroy you

00:56:50I saw her true nature

00:56:52with my own eyes.

00:56:53He paused

00:56:54swallowing hard.

00:56:55I dealt with her

00:56:56she won't ever appear

00:56:57in front of you again.

00:56:59Tyra

00:56:59I sent her to a remote

00:57:01pack orphanage

00:57:02she'll be raised

00:57:03far away from all of this.

00:57:04His eyes reddened

00:57:05and his voice

00:57:06cracked slightly.

00:57:08The elders and I

00:57:08we all regret

00:57:09what we did to you

00:57:10deeply.

00:57:11We were blind Elise.

00:57:13I was blind.

00:57:14He reached out

00:57:15as if wanting to touch me

00:57:16but stopped halfway

00:57:18and clenched his fist.

00:57:19These past months

00:57:20while searching for you

00:57:22I almost went mad.

00:57:24I couldn't eat

00:57:25couldn't sleep.

00:57:26My fingers clutched

00:57:27the parchment

00:57:28that my whole body trembled.

00:57:30It was not relief

00:57:30or grief

00:57:31it was the sudden

00:57:33brutal

00:57:33tearing away of a scar.

00:57:35A truth too long delayed

00:57:37now ripping open

00:57:38a scab

00:57:39that had never really healed

00:57:40revealing the festering wound

00:57:42still raw beneath.

00:57:43It was too late

00:57:44everything was too late.

00:57:46I had long past the point

00:57:47of needing the truth exposed

00:57:48and I no longer needed

00:57:50Kieran's attempts

00:57:50at reconciliation

00:57:51or his regret.

00:57:53Kieran

00:57:53I can't go back with you

00:57:55and we can't return

00:57:56to how things were.

00:57:57When I saw you

00:57:58being intimate with her

00:57:59I kept wondering

00:58:01if I was the other woman.

00:58:03No Elise

00:58:03you weren't the other woman

00:58:05you're the person

00:58:06I woman

00:58:07you're the person

00:58:08I love most.

00:58:10Kieran repeatedly

00:58:10denied this.

00:58:12He instinctively

00:58:13reached for my hand

00:58:14but I dodged aside

00:58:15but that was exactly

00:58:17how it was for me.

00:58:18You had pups

00:58:19with her

00:58:20sealed a vow

00:58:21under the moon goddess

00:58:22and lived like a true pair

00:58:24in every way.

00:58:25To everyone else

00:58:26she was your mate.

00:58:28So why did you

00:58:29come looking for me?

00:58:30There was already

00:58:30an impossibly wide

00:58:31distance between us

00:58:33that neither of us

00:58:33could cross

00:58:34and I did not want

00:58:35to try crossing it again.

00:58:37Go back.

00:58:38Kieran

00:58:38this isn't where you belong.

00:58:41Thunder rumbled

00:58:41across the horizon.

00:58:43I refused to argue further

00:58:44and turned toward my door.

00:58:46The second I reached my room

00:58:48torrential rain

00:58:49began pouring outside.

00:58:50However

00:58:51he still stood motionless

00:58:52in the storm.

00:58:53I frowned

00:58:54and was about to

00:58:55pull the curtains closed

00:58:56when someone began

00:58:57pounding frantically

00:58:59on my door.

00:59:00Mrs. George

00:59:00come out quickly

00:59:01a child is missing.

00:59:05I immediately

00:59:06joined the search.

00:59:07Together with another

00:59:08teacher

00:59:08Miss Lena

00:59:09we hurried through

00:59:10the heavy rain

00:59:11toward the missing boy

00:59:12Elliot's home.

00:59:13The downpour was so heavy

00:59:14we could barely see

00:59:15the path ahead.

00:59:17Suddenly

00:59:17distant rumbling sounds

00:59:18echoed from the mountain valley.

00:59:20Miss Lena grabbed my arm

00:59:21her voice shaking.

00:59:22Elise

00:59:23did you hear that?

00:59:25That's

00:59:25sound!

00:59:29It's a landslide!

00:59:30We have to turn back!

00:59:31I clenched my teeth

00:59:32and kept running.

00:59:34We can't!

00:59:35Elliot is still there!

00:59:37We're almost at his house

00:59:39we have to get him!

00:59:40We exchanged

00:59:41terrified glances

00:59:42but pushed forward

00:59:43running faster.

00:59:45Sure enough

00:59:45we found the trembling

00:59:47Elliot hiding under the bed

00:59:48clutching a pile of toys

00:59:50that belonged to his late mother.

00:59:52No!

00:59:52I don't want to go!

00:59:55My mum's still here!

00:59:57I'm not leaving

00:59:58without her toys!

00:59:59Tears streamed down

01:00:00his small face

01:00:01as he hugged

01:00:02the toys tighter.

01:00:03Elliot

01:00:04listen to me

01:00:05I promise

01:00:06I'll bring

01:00:07every single one

01:00:08of your mum's toys

01:00:08back safely.

01:00:10But right now

01:00:11you have to go

01:00:12with Miss Lena

01:00:13it's dangerous here!

01:00:15You swear?

01:00:16You really promise?

01:00:17I swear

01:00:19Now go!

01:00:20I quickly handed him

01:00:21to Miss Lena

01:00:22Take him and run!

01:00:23Don't stop until

01:00:24you reach high ground!

01:00:26After they disappeared

01:00:27into the rain

01:00:27I grabbed a sack

01:00:29and frantically

01:00:30stuffed all the toys inside.

01:00:32Just as I slung

01:00:33the heavy bag

01:00:34over my shoulder

01:00:34the rumbling

01:00:35turned into a

01:00:36deafening roar.

01:00:37The landslide

01:00:38exploded through the window

01:00:39in a surge of mud

01:00:40rock and debris.

01:00:43Time froze.

01:00:45Terror gripped me.

01:00:46My vision was filled

01:00:47only with that

01:00:47murky thick sludge

01:00:49mixed with broken

01:00:50wood and debris.

01:00:51It roared

01:00:52as it poured

01:00:52over the windowsill

01:00:53like the gates of hell

01:00:54opening wide.

01:00:56A cutrid

01:00:56earthy stench

01:00:57instantly flooded

01:00:59my nostrils.

01:01:00My mind went blank.

01:01:01No!

01:01:03No!

01:01:03I slumped

01:01:04helplessly

01:01:05against the wall

01:01:06watching the wave

01:01:07of death

01:01:07crash toward me.

01:01:08Just then

01:01:09a massive

01:01:10white wolf

01:01:11burst through

01:01:11the churning

01:01:12muddy caves

01:01:13lunging straight at me.

01:01:15My eyes

01:01:16flew wide open.

01:01:17Kieran

01:01:18what are you?

01:01:19The moment he charged in

01:01:20his golden wolf eyes

01:01:22locked onto me

01:01:23with fierce intensity.

01:01:24Kieran

01:01:25deep

01:01:25urgent growl

01:01:26through mind link.

01:01:27Hold on tight

01:01:28don't let go.

01:01:29With a deep growl

01:01:30he lowered his head

01:01:31and slammed his

01:01:32powerful shoulder

01:01:32into my stomach

01:01:33lifting me clean

01:01:34off the ground.

01:01:35The world spun

01:01:36as he tossed me

01:01:37across his broad back

01:01:38like luggage.

01:01:39Kieran!

01:01:40Wait!

01:01:41He barreled toward

01:01:42the wooden door

01:01:42that led to the slope

01:01:43beyond and smashed

01:01:45through it with

01:01:45bone rattling force.

01:01:51The door shattered

01:01:52but a sickening crack

01:01:53followed.

01:01:54Kieran's entire body

01:01:55jolted violently.

01:01:57A muffled

01:01:58pained groan

01:01:58tore from between

01:01:59his clenched teeth.

01:02:00I froze in horror

01:02:02and looked down.

01:02:03My heart

01:02:04seemed to stop.

01:02:05A jagged

01:02:05wooden shard

01:02:06from the broken frame

01:02:07had pierced deep

01:02:08into his right side.

01:02:10Kieran!

01:02:11Oh God!

01:02:12No!

01:02:12You're hurt!

01:02:13My hands

01:02:14scrambled desperately

01:02:15to the wound.

01:02:16Hot, sticky blood

01:02:17instantly soaked

01:02:18my palms.

01:02:18Put me down

01:02:19Kieran, please!

01:02:20You're bleeding

01:02:21too much!

01:02:22Stop!

01:02:23I pressed hard

01:02:24against the gash

01:02:25but nothing could

01:02:25stop the steady

01:02:26rush of crimson

01:02:27pouring out

01:02:28between my fingers.

01:02:29Yet Kieran acted

01:02:30as if the pain

01:02:30did not exist.

01:02:31He kept charging

01:02:32up the steep slope

01:02:33powerful muscles

01:02:35straining beneath me.

01:02:36Hold on.

01:02:38Don't let go.

01:02:39I'm getting you

01:02:40out of here.

01:02:41The overwhelming

01:02:42mudslide roared

01:02:42behind us

01:02:43sweeping up trees

01:02:44and boulders

01:02:45like they were nothing

01:02:45chasing us relentlessly.

01:02:47Kieran!

01:02:48You're going to die

01:02:49like this!

01:02:50Please stop!

01:02:50I can run on my own!

01:02:52Kieran!

01:02:53Kieran!

01:02:53He didn't answer.

01:02:55His breathing

01:02:55grew heavier

01:02:56but his pace

01:02:57never slowed.

01:02:58I didn't know

01:02:58how long it lasted

01:02:59but finally

01:03:00the deafening roar

01:03:01of the landslide

01:03:02faded into the distance.

01:03:07We were safe

01:03:09or so I thought

01:03:10suddenly

01:03:10the world

01:03:11tilted again.

01:03:13Kieran

01:03:13who had been

01:03:14carrying me

01:03:14could no longer

01:03:15hold on.

01:03:16His massive body

01:03:17collapsed heavily

01:03:18toward the ground

01:03:19but he still

01:03:20carefully protected

01:03:21me in his embrace.

01:03:23Kieran!

01:03:25Just then

01:03:26I heard the sharp

01:03:27roar of a rescue horn

01:03:28echo in the distance.

01:03:30I tore off my cloak

01:03:31and waved it frantically.

01:03:32Soon after

01:03:33Kieran and I

01:03:34were rushed by carriage

01:03:35to the nearest infirmary.

01:03:36Kieran was rushed

01:03:37straight to the

01:03:38healer's emergency room.

01:03:39After signing

01:03:40all the forms

01:03:41exhaustion

01:03:41and shock

01:03:42finally hit me

01:03:43everything went black.

01:03:45When I came to

01:03:46it was already

01:03:47the next day.

01:03:48The healer's apprentice

01:03:49looked at me

01:03:50with a heavy sigh

01:03:50and said

01:03:51The treatment

01:03:52was a complete success

01:03:53but due to

01:03:54massive blood loss

01:03:55and an old condition

01:03:56Kieran has fallen

01:03:57into a coma.

01:03:58He might wake up

01:03:59tomorrow

01:04:00or he might

01:04:01never wake up

01:04:01at all.

01:04:02My knees

01:04:03buckled.

01:04:03I covered my mouth

01:04:04as tears

01:04:05instantly spilled

01:04:06down my face.

01:04:07No matter what

01:04:08had happened

01:04:08between us

01:04:09he had saved

01:04:10my life.

01:04:10I pushed open

01:04:11the door to his room

01:04:12and sat beside his bed

01:04:14staring at his

01:04:15unconscious face.

01:04:18On the third day

01:04:19Lucian arrived.

01:04:20He looked exhausted

01:04:21and for the first time

01:04:22bowed his head

01:04:23apologizing before

01:04:24handing me a worn journal.

01:04:26After you left

01:04:27Kieran recorded in this

01:04:28with a quill

01:04:29every single day.

01:04:31He wanted to show

01:04:32it to you himself.

01:04:33I slowly opened

01:04:34the journal.

01:04:35Wolf calendar year

01:04:36818

01:04:36month of thaw

01:04:37Today

01:04:38Elise and I

01:04:39made it official.

01:04:40This journal

01:04:40is her first gift

01:04:41to me.

01:04:42I'm so happy.

01:04:44I'll treasure her

01:04:44and I'll never

01:04:45let her down.

01:04:46For the next three years

01:04:47every page overflowed

01:04:49with his deep love

01:04:50for me.

01:04:50Then the entry

01:04:51stopped after the elders

01:04:52threatened mass suicide.

01:04:54Two pages

01:04:54were torn through

01:04:55with massive letters.

01:04:57The journal stayed

01:04:58blank for a year

01:04:58and a half.

01:04:59The final entries

01:05:00were written

01:05:01after he came

01:05:01looking for me.

01:05:02Elise I'm so sorry.

01:05:04I kept asking you

01:05:04to wait just a little

01:05:05longer.

01:05:06At first I thought

01:05:07I could finish it

01:05:08quickly but after

01:05:09Tyra was born

01:05:10my heart started

01:05:11changing.

01:05:11I got soft again

01:05:12and again.

01:05:13Every moment of

01:05:14weakness turned

01:05:15into knives

01:05:15stabbing your heart.

01:05:17If I hadn't given

01:05:18in that day

01:05:18we could have married

01:05:19had pups of our own

01:05:21and traveled anywhere

01:05:22you wanted

01:05:22but I know

01:05:23it's too late now.

01:05:25I closed the journal.

01:05:27Medical staff

01:05:27wheeled Kieran

01:05:28out on a gurney.

01:05:30Lucian planned

01:05:30to take him north

01:05:31for better treatment.

01:05:33I handed the journal

01:05:34back to Lucian

01:05:34with steady hands.

01:05:36If he ever wakes up

01:05:37please tell him

01:05:38that everything

01:05:38from the past

01:05:39ends here.

01:05:40From now on

01:05:41we're like two

01:05:42parallel lines

01:05:43that will never

01:05:43cross again.

01:05:45Elise

01:05:46are you really sure

01:05:47after everything

01:05:48he did for you

01:05:49in the landslide?

01:05:50I'm sure.

01:05:51My voice was calm

01:05:52and firm

01:05:53though my throat

01:05:54felt tight.

01:05:55Tell him he doesn't

01:05:55owe me anything anymore.

01:05:57We're even now.

01:05:59This is goodbye.

01:06:00Without another glance

01:06:01at Lucian

01:06:02or the unconscious

01:06:02Kieran

01:06:03I turned and walked

01:06:04firmly in the

01:06:05opposite direction.

01:06:06I was ready to

01:06:07start my new life.

01:06:09This was our

01:06:09final goodbye.

01:06:11We would never

01:06:12see each other again.

01:06:14Three months

01:06:15had passed

01:06:16since that day.

01:06:17I thought I had

01:06:17finally buried the past

01:06:18in this quiet

01:06:19mountain village.

01:06:20The children's laughter

01:06:21filled my days

01:06:22and the simple rhythm

01:06:24of grading parchment

01:06:25scrolls under a dim

01:06:26oil lamp

01:06:26brought me a fragile

01:06:28peace.

01:06:28Until that stormy night

01:06:31frantic knocking

01:06:32shattered the silence.

01:06:33Before I could answer

01:06:34the door burst open

01:06:36with a violent bang.

01:06:37A tall blood-soaked

01:06:39figure stumbled

01:06:40in Kieran.

01:06:41His healer's linen

01:06:42tunic hung in tatters.

01:06:43Bandages across his chest

01:06:45already soaked crimson.

01:06:46Rain and blood

01:06:47streaked his face.

01:06:48Those once familiar

01:06:49golden eyes

01:06:50now wild and bloodshot

01:06:51locked onto me.

01:06:52Kieran.

01:06:53He didn't speak.

01:06:54He staggered forward

01:06:55and dropped heavily

01:06:56to his knees.

01:06:57Forehead slamming

01:06:58against the wooden floor

01:06:59with a dull thud.

01:07:01I'm sorry.

01:07:03Alyssa.

01:07:03His voice was raw

01:07:04broken

01:07:05repeating over

01:07:06and over

01:07:07as tears mixed with rain

01:07:08and blood dripped

01:07:09onto my feet.

01:07:10I stood frozen

01:07:11ice spreading

01:07:12through my veins.

01:07:15He crawled forward

01:07:17on his knees

01:07:17and clutched the hem

01:07:18of my dress

01:07:19like a dying man.

01:07:20His burning forehead

01:07:21pressed against my legs.

01:07:22I woke up

01:07:23and the first thing

01:07:24I thought of was you.

01:07:26I read the journal.

01:07:28Every word.

01:07:29His voice cracked.

01:07:30I was wrong.

01:07:31I should have chosen you

01:07:33from the beginning.

01:07:33I should have fought

01:07:34the elders,

01:07:35the whole pack,

01:07:35everything.

01:07:36I never should have

01:07:37made you suffer alone.

01:07:38Come back with me.

01:07:39I disbanded the council.

01:07:41Sevilia and Tyre are gone.

01:07:42There's nothing

01:07:42between us anymore.

01:07:43I'll give you everything.

01:07:44My title,

01:07:45my power,

01:07:46my life.

01:07:46Just don't leave me.

01:07:48Please.

01:07:48My heart twisted painfully

01:07:50as his blood soaked

01:07:51through my dress.

01:07:52I tried to step back

01:07:53but he rose abruptly

01:07:55and crushed me

01:07:56into his arms.

01:07:57His kiss was fierce,

01:07:58tasting of blood,

01:08:00rain,

01:08:00and desperate regret.

01:08:02He pressed me

01:08:03against the wall,

01:08:04body burning

01:08:05and trembling.

01:08:06I love you,

01:08:07Elise,

01:08:07more than my own life.

01:08:08If you won't forgive me,

01:08:09kill me right here.

01:08:10Tear out my heart.

01:08:11I'd rather die by your hand

01:08:12than live without you.

01:08:14I pushed him away

01:08:15with all my strength,

01:08:16my voice shaking

01:08:17but resolute.

01:08:18Kieran Wolfe,

01:08:19I once loved you

01:08:20enough to die for you,

01:08:21but you killed that love,

01:08:23piece by piece.

01:08:24Every time you chose

01:08:26them over me,

01:08:27every broken promise,

01:08:28every night I waited in pain,

01:08:30it died slowly.

01:08:31He staggered back,

01:08:32face deathly pale,

01:08:33blood seeping

01:08:34from reopened wounds.

01:08:36I don't hate you anymore,

01:08:38I whispered,

01:08:39but I will never

01:08:40go back to you.

01:08:41Silence swallowed the room,

01:08:43broken only by the rain.

01:08:44He knelt again,

01:08:45pressing his forehead

01:08:46to the floor.

01:08:46Then let me stay here.

01:08:48Let me guard you

01:08:49from afar.

01:08:51Even if you never

01:08:52look at me again,

01:08:53I only ask to love you

01:08:55for the rest of my life,

01:08:56even if it's one-sided.

01:08:58He raised his bloodied hand

01:08:59and swore fiercely

01:09:00under the moon goddess.

01:09:03I didn't let him stay.

01:09:04That night,

01:09:05after he left,

01:09:06I packed what little I had

01:09:08and slipped away

01:09:09from the village

01:09:09before dawn.

01:09:10I changed my name,

01:09:12moved to a distant city,

01:09:13and built a new life

01:09:14where no one knew

01:09:15about werewolves,

01:09:16alphas,

01:09:17or broken mates.

01:09:18I never saw Ciaran again.

01:09:20I made sure of it.

01:09:23Years passed.

01:09:24One rainy autumn evening,

01:09:26a letter arrived

01:09:27from the north.

01:09:28It was from an old

01:09:29pack member.

01:09:30Ciaran had been diagnosed

01:09:32with a rare,

01:09:33aggressive cancer

01:09:34that even his alpha blood

01:09:36couldn't fight.

01:09:37He refused every treatment

01:09:38that would keep him alive longer

01:09:39if it meant leaving the village.

01:09:41He stayed there,

01:09:43waiting.

01:09:43He died quietly at dawn,

01:09:45alone in the same mountain cabin

01:09:47where he had once

01:09:48knelt before me.

01:09:49In his arms,

01:09:50they found a worn photograph

01:09:51of me,

01:09:51the only one he had kept.

01:09:53His fingers were still

01:09:54curled gently around it,

01:09:56as if even in death

01:09:57he couldn't let go.

01:09:58I read the letter once,

01:09:59then burned it.

01:10:01I didn't cry.

01:10:03I had already cried

01:10:04all my tears for him

01:10:05years ago.

01:10:06Some love,

01:10:07no matter how deep,

01:10:08can only end in silence.

01:10:11Perhaps this was the mercy

01:10:12we both needed.
