00:00:10Selene your bloodline is too lowly you don't deserve to be a Luna you must let
00:00:16your Alpha mark his sister-in-law my mother-in-law despises me because I'm a
00:00:25lowly Omega your brother is dead and you must take care of your sister-in-law
00:00:30Christy why otherwise the elders will not recognize your Alpha status you must
00:00:36have a child with Christy her bloodline is far superior I have no other choice
00:00:49you're the only one in my heart but you need to understand that the pack can't
00:00:53go without an Alpha I'll announce to everyone that you're my Luna once
00:01:00Christy's pregnant and I become Alpha okay okay I love him deeply however when
00:01:08Eugene goes from sleeping with Christy once a month to sleeping with me once a
00:01:12month I realize he is no longer a mate who belonged to me alone
00:01:24since everyone is here today I'll make the announcement Christy is carrying
00:01:29Eugene's child and because of this Eugene and Christy's wedding will take place
00:01:35next month she will be the new Luna I'm the only one who is kept in the dark my
00:01:41heart shatters into pieces when I see the glimmering Luna's ring on her finger if
00:01:45this is what Eugene wants I'll fake my death and leave him I won't ever return my
00:01:52sister-in-law Christy Unwin lounged lazily in the arms of my mate Eugene Latham she
00:01:58lifted her hand and admired the precious moonstone ring on her finger this ring is
00:02:04the night wind packs heirloom only a Luna can wear it technically this should be
00:02:11given to Eugene's maced crate but you gave it to me wouldn't see Lina be upset
00:02:21she's just a lowly werewolf so she doesn't have any right to be angry the
00:02:26others in the pack have long wanted you to be the next Luna
00:02:33now that you're carrying the pup with alpha bloodline you're the only rightful Luna
00:02:44no one cared what I thought I looked down at my bare ring finger and didn't know what to say
00:02:49tears welled up in my eyes finally Eugene noticed me standing to the side he let go of Christy and
00:02:56gently took my hand his touch was tender but I could smell the sickly sweet scent of wine mixed
00:03:08into his usual woody musk that scent belonged to Christy I held my breath as he explained
00:03:15ever since my brother passed away Christy's been deeply unsettled
00:03:22moonstone has calming properties so I let her wear the ring
00:03:28you don't mind do you I pressed my lips tightly together and said nothing
00:03:33staying silent to show my disapproval how could a woman not mind her husband giving a ring to another
00:03:38woman it was even worse when that particular ring symbolized the Luna's status I found it unacceptable
00:03:47come on Selena you know I'm pregnant I've been having trouble sleeping at night
00:03:54I didn't expect you to be so bitter fine I'll take it off now and give it back to you
00:04:01Christy yanked hard at the ring
00:04:03but after several tugs it didn't budge instead her pulling just rubbed her skin raw and red around
00:04:10the base of her finger tears welled up in her eyes as she choked out Eugene I wasn't trying to
00:04:17keep it for
00:04:17myself it just somehow fits my finger too well trying to take it off really hurts there's no need to
00:04:28take
00:04:28it off it's yours now I'll buy Selina another ring later Selina you've always been so understanding
00:04:40just let Christy keep the moonstone ring it'll help her carry the pup better
00:04:50selina you know full well that you have omega blood in you any pup you bear would taint our alpha
00:04:57bloodline Christy is carrying the air of a noble bloodline for the pack how can you have any
00:05:02objections to letting her have the moonstone ring she took it upon herself to carry a pup for the future
00:05:07of our pack yet all you do is get jealous you're so shameless everyone looked at me like I was
00:05:14acting
00:05:14like a clown they made me feel like I was the one making a scene and that all of this
00:05:18was somehow my
00:05:19fault but I loved Eugene I wanted to be the one standing by his side what had I done wrong
00:05:25the
00:05:27moonstone ring shimmered with a soft sacred glow that stung my eyes
00:05:36I remembered when Eugene promised me that he would give that precious ring to me one day
00:05:42ironically it was on Christy's finger now I swallowed the bitter taste of humiliation the
00:05:48moonstone ring suits Christy better than me if this is what Eugene wants then she should keep it
00:05:58I'm glad you're being sensible for once
00:06:06Eugene looked uneasy I hadn't reacted as he had expected because I wasn't crying or making a scene
00:06:13as an omega I had always felt insecure in love I used to cling to him constantly asking for his
00:06:20reassurance he used to call me his sweet burden
00:06:24but now my quiet restraint unsettled him
00:06:30that night Eugene came to my room for the first time in a long while
00:06:48Selina I know things have been hard on you lately
00:06:52Christy's pregnant now and I've been confirmed as the next alpha of the night wind pack
00:06:57I can finally spend time with you
00:07:02you said that once she was pregnant you'd stay away from her for good
00:07:10did you mean it even with everything that had happened I couldn't ignore the flutter in my chest as he
00:07:16held me
00:07:17he was my true mate even though he always used my frailty as an excuse not to mark me
00:07:21the pull between us was undeniable if there was even the smallest chance I still wanted to save our love
00:07:30of course I meant it
00:07:32you're my true mate appointed by the moon goddess
00:07:36everyone is aware that Christy and I merely got together for political reasons
00:07:42now that she's pregnant I don't have to go to her anymore even my mother can't say anything about this
00:07:47we should plan for your marking soon once you're carrying my pup you'll stop overthinking
00:08:01I wanted to respond but the cloying scent of wine from Christy enveloped my sense of smell
00:08:06it felt as if there was an invisible third presence between us
00:08:11reflexively I covered my mouth and nose I couldn't help but gag
00:08:16alpha eugene
00:08:25alpha eugene luna christy says her stomach hurts she seems to be bleeding
00:08:37get the healer now if anything happens to christy can any of you bear that responsibility
00:08:53get the healer now if anything happens to me
00:09:03my maid Daria Newell who had been with me since my childhood came in to clean the mess
00:09:14stop crying selena crying too much is bad for your health
00:09:18I blinked surprised had I been crying I reached up to touch my face and realized it was soaked with
00:09:25tears
00:09:46it's fine let's go check on christy
00:09:49if I didn't go I was sure I would never hear the end of grace's criticisms of me being cold
00:09:54hearted and uncaring
00:09:58by the time I reached the door to christy's residence I saw through the gap that she was lying on
00:10:02the bed
00:10:03her upper body was leaning against Eugene's chest and he had her in his embrace
00:10:13I'm not really in pain
00:10:21I didn't mean to lie
00:10:26it's just
00:10:29every time I think about how you won't come see me anymore after I'm pregnant
00:10:37it makes me so upset
00:10:40this was the only way I could see you again
00:10:46Eugene I don't even know why
00:10:50but whenever I'm alone all I can think about is you
00:10:54I just can't forget you
00:10:58please don't be mad at me
00:11:02I only wanted to see you
00:11:06I don't want you to leave me
00:11:12it's because you're carrying my pup
00:11:14your hormones are driving you to feel attached to me
00:11:19also you're my sister-in-law
00:11:22how could I possibly ignore you
00:11:29really Eugene
00:11:30then promise me
00:11:32promise you'll come see me every day
00:11:35I don't want you and Celine to have a pup from an inferior bloodline
00:11:41the whole pack would be humiliated you can only have a pup with me
00:11:44let me be the luna please
00:12:00okay
00:12:09and how's our wedding prep going
00:12:11I want the gown with the biggest trail
00:12:17don't worry as the luna of the night wind pack
00:12:20I'll give you the grandest wedding there is
00:12:29I couldn't believe what I was hearing
00:12:31a wedding
00:12:32Eugene and Christy's wedding
00:12:33so the actual reason Eugene never completed my marking
00:12:36was because he was planning to marry Christy
00:12:42a peal of triumphant laughter rang out from the room
00:12:45it cut deeper than any weapon wielded by our warriors
00:12:49my wolf howled in agony from deep within me
00:13:09I was the adopted daughter of the old alpha of the night wind pack
00:13:13Eugene and I were the same age and we had grown up together
00:13:16we were childhood sweethearts
00:13:31back then
00:13:32grace had tried to send me off to another path
00:13:34for political marriage
00:13:38Eugene had stopped the escort team himself
00:13:51I beg you to grant your blessing and let selena marry me
00:13:58I will only love selena for the rest of my life
00:14:01and my heart will never change
00:14:04what do you even see in her
00:14:08she's an omega she'll never bring you happiness
00:14:15love doesn't need a reason the moon goddess led me to her
00:14:19I have this feeling that if I let selena go
00:14:22I'll regret it for the rest of my life
00:14:28not even three years after that promise
00:14:30he had another she-wolf carrying his pup
00:14:33now he was even planning to marry her
00:14:35not even the guidance of the moon goddess could hold back his fickle heart
00:14:44don't worry
00:14:45you're the alpha's true mate
00:14:48once you bear his pup
00:14:50you'll definitely become the luna
00:14:54no
00:14:58I'll never bear his pup
00:15:00if Eugene had chosen to fall for someone else
00:15:03then I would let him go
00:15:04I would disappear from his life completely
00:15:07I no longer wanted this filthy love
00:15:13I sat alone under the lamp all night
00:15:15and worked out a plan to leave
00:15:30selena are you truly leaving the pack
00:15:35if alpha eugene finds out he may lock down every border
00:15:42then we won't walk through the border like fugitives
00:15:48we'll let them believe I can no longer walk anywhere
00:15:55you mean the frozen sea
00:16:00the entire border is heavily guarded
00:16:02only this frozen sea is left unmonitored
00:16:04i plan to leave with the ocean current
00:16:07but the sea is icy and dangerous with violent currents
00:16:12if anything goes wrong you won't stand a chance of survival
00:16:21i won't die there
00:16:23i will only let selena eugene's obedient omega die there
00:16:30the next morning grace sent someone to fetch me before i had even had breakfast
00:16:36in the dining hall christy sat comfortably while eugene was feeding her peanut brittle
00:16:51uh selena you look pale did you not sleep well
00:16:59she's not pregnant why wouldn't she be sleeping well christy my poor sweetheart is the one who hasn't been able
00:17:07to sleep all night
00:17:11oh right christy's been feeling unwell lately so we had a healer come and take a look
00:17:24he said the land beneath her residence is tainted with dark energy
00:17:28her wolf spirit rejects it that's why she hasn't been sleeping well
00:17:34the healer also said your place is ideal for a pregnant woman to stay and rest
00:17:39i gave it some thought since you're not pregnant right now why not let christy move in and stay there
00:17:44it'll be better for the pup what do you think
00:17:55but that's the home you gave selena as a wedding gift
00:17:59you two haven't even gotten married yet how can you let christy have it instead
00:18:07does someone like selena deserve such a nice place i raised her for all these years
00:18:14i raised her for all these years and didn't sell her off
00:18:21i even let her date eugene for this long she should be grateful
00:18:28now christy's carrying the night wind packs air it's just a house what's the big deal
00:18:36forget it grace don't pressure selena i can live anywhere really it's just uncomfortable
00:18:45but if this keeps up i can't guarantee the pup will stay healthy
00:18:58selena it's just a house please let her have it if something happens to christy or the pup what will
00:19:05become of the pack's future once she gives birth you can have the house back
00:19:15i stared blankly at his face he felt like a complete stranger
00:19:24his voice echoed in my ears his tone was low and calm like it was only fair of him to
00:19:29ask that
00:19:29of me it was as if he was casually commenting on the weather rather than making an absurd request
00:19:34for me to move out of our marital home we had picked that house together every piece of furniture
00:19:40carried our shared dreams for the future and now he was forcing me to hand it over to another woman
00:19:46you promised that would be our home just ours
00:19:57don't make this harder than it needs to be selena you know the situation pack up in the next few
00:20:03days
00:20:03so that christy can move in his words left me feeling utterly cold and the coldness seeped into
00:20:09every fiber of my being i took a deep breath and stood up it's fine i'll move out today i
00:20:16won't be a drag
00:20:18well there's no need to rush thank you selena eugene i want more peanut bruddy feed me a few more
00:20:26please i don't feel like lifting my hand okay i'll ask someone to bring more
00:20:38no one paid me any attention as i quietly left
00:20:45once i got back
00:20:51daria packed my luggage right away
00:20:57i didn't take any of the gifts eugene had given me even though they were extremely valuable
00:21:06but selena your wolf spirit doesn't adapt to new environments easily
00:21:14if we move to a new place it'll take a long time for her to recognize the scent
00:21:21you'll feel miserable won't this be too hard on you
00:21:30it's okay
00:21:34we won't be miserable for long
00:21:37at the same time my wolf spirit gave me a gentle reply
00:21:42selena don't worry about me
00:21:45be brave and do whatever you want
00:21:49selena as long as you are happy i will be happy too
00:21:55hearing this i became even more determined to leave
00:21:59eugene you betrayed me first
00:22:03i told you if you betray me i will disappear from your world forever
00:22:08by the afternoon christie's maids had already arrived they carried scented pillows velvet blankets
00:22:14boxes of herbs and expensive maternity gowns into the house eugene once built for me
00:22:33selena don't look so sad eugene only wants what's best for the pup
00:22:38a house is dead wood and stone a living air matters more
00:22:46this is selena's home you have no shame
00:22:52shame is for she wolves who have no chance to become luna
00:23:00i don't need it
00:23:03i said nothing silence was the last dignity i had left
00:23:15that night eugene came to see me again
00:23:28that night eugene came to see me again
00:23:37you're going to marry christie aren't you
00:23:44selena i don't have complete say over this
00:23:48you know how important it is for aluna to be powerful and of noble blood
00:23:53christie fits the pack's expectations
00:24:03then what about me what am i to you
00:24:07you're still the one i love the most
00:24:10even one i main with this dish
00:24:12even if i marry christie you'll always be my luna in my heart
00:24:19let's break our true mate haunt
00:24:31you're breaking our bond over this
00:24:35all of this is to help me be a better alpha and solidify our pax power
00:24:39you're not a child anymore eugene's jaw clenched his disbelief quickly hardening into anger
00:24:45don't make rash decisions you'll regret later i won't agree to this
00:24:52why are you still hung up about christie
00:24:55i told you a million times once she gives birth things will return to normal
00:25:04as punishment i'm going to see christie now you stay here and think about what you just said
00:25:15things would return to normal no things can never go back to the way they were
00:25:23i thought about how much we had once loved each other and the stark contrast with our current
00:25:28situation made my heart bleed even if he didn't agree to the rejection
00:25:33a shattered bond couldn't be repaired i would find another way our love had deteriorated beyond fixing
00:25:39the moment i walk away from you completely is drawing closer eugene
00:25:44and this time it is by your very own hands
00:25:49after eugene left daria locked the door and placed three small bottles on the table
00:25:55one could weaken my scent one could slow my heartbeat so the pack trackers would mistake me for dying
00:26:02the last one the most dangerous could tear the true mate bond from my wolf spirit
00:26:07this potion will hurt if you drink too much your wolf may never answer you again
00:26:18if i stay she will die anyway at least this way she dies free
00:26:30when do we leave on my birthday eugene promised to spend that day with me
00:26:42if he breaks that promise too then the moon goddess has already given me her answer
00:26:51after christy moved into my marital home she became noticeably more smug she started acting like she
00:26:57was the luna from now on you can't meet selena alone the only time i saw them was during shared
00:27:04meals
00:27:05and christy never failed to bring up her pregnancy to steal all of eugene's attention
00:27:13selena i'm really sorry for everything lately
00:27:18tomorrow's your birthday i promise i'll spend it with you
00:27:24i heard the moon bis cod from the frozen waters to the north is incredibly delicious this time of the
00:27:30year
00:27:32i'll go fish one for you today okay
00:27:38baby come here i have a surprise for you today what surprise come over fur he walked away from me
00:27:48without hesitation christy took his hand and gently placed it on her belly
00:27:57feel it together they watched her stomach with eager eyes did our pup just move my pup is
00:28:04saying hi to me
00:28:09you have no idea how naughty your pup is he keeps kicking me you'd better give him lots of attention
00:28:18christy guided eugene's palm lower with a pleased little smile
00:28:23the healer said that if the father talks to the pup often he'll recognize your voice when he's born
00:28:34really then i'll talk to him every day he needs to know who his father is
00:28:41eugene one more thing let's move our wedding to tomorrow okay the priest said it's a blessed day
00:28:49sure it's just a couple of days earlier that's not an issue at all
00:29:01eugene
00:29:01eugene he turned back as if just remembering it was my birthday tomorrow
00:29:13selena we need to have the wedding tomorrow be there okay i'll catch the fish for you another time
00:29:20i felt my heart sink to my stomach like a boulder sinking into the depths of the sea
00:29:25upon seeing the smug gleam in christy's eyes i nodded with tears in mine
00:29:31okay but that so-called another time would never come that was his last chance
00:29:40don't be late tomorrow selena a former mate should bless the new luma properly
00:29:47i smiled back through the pain
00:29:55of course i'll give you a wedding gift you'll never forget
00:30:01the next morning the pack bells began ringing before dawn they were not ringing for my birthday
00:30:07they were ringing for eugene and christy's wedding
00:30:11daria helped me fasten a thick cloak around my shoulders under it i hid the scent weakening herbs
00:30:16and the severance letter i had written overnight once we cross the ice there is no turning back
00:30:25good i don't want a path back what if alpha eugene regrets it and comes for you
00:30:34i looked at the wedding bells trembling in the distance then let him regret it in front of an empty
00:30:39sea we left before anyone came to check on me behind us the pack prepared flowers wine and vows for
00:30:48another woman's wedding
00:30:51ahead of us the frozen ocean waited like a door selena the current is stronger near the cavern
00:30:57we have to be careful that is why they will believe i drowned the wind cut my face until my
00:31:03tears froze before they could fall behind me was the pack that had never accepted me in front of me
00:31:08was a sea that might kill me if the plan failed i took out the broken token eugene and i
00:31:12had once
00:31:13made together may our love be as eternal as the stars never to be broken that was what he said
00:31:23selena i snapped the last thread holding the chain together and threw half of it onto the ice
00:31:33let him find this when he finally remembers me
00:31:40at the same time eugene and christie's wedding began as planned
00:31:44as the wedding neared its start i was still nowhere to be seen
00:31:50selena must be upset huh because you didn't spend her birthday with her she's skipping our wedding on
00:31:56her birthday with her birthday with her birthday with her birthday with her birthday and her birthday
00:32:01she's just a defective omega whose body didn't even develop properly she should stay home obediently
00:32:11as the alpha sex out and not go out causing trouble she's completely out of line eugene thank
00:32:16the moon goddess i made you choose christie without her we'd have no respectable luna in our pack
00:32:22otherwise our pack would be a laughing stock don't worry i'll give you lots of pups the alpha-blooded
00:32:29pups eugene and i will have will all be strong like him no one else will challenge the pack's power
00:32:35grace beamed at her flattery for the third time
00:32:43where is selena has someone been sent to locate her
00:32:50not yet alpha no one has seen her
00:32:57they have been sent alpha but no one has seen selena
00:33:06good if she doesn't come back just go ahead and break her true mate bond with you but eugene felt
00:33:13an
00:33:13ominous chill creeping in the last time he felt this kind of dread was when i was nearly sent off
00:33:18for a political marriage to another pack eugene let's go fishing in the frozen sea someday
00:33:27she might have gone to the frozen sea send more people to look for her there report back the moment
00:33:32you find anything christy chuckled smugly and her earrings sparkled under the light selena wouldn't
00:33:43really put herself in danger just to make a scene would she it's our wedding day how childish eugene
00:33:49glanced at them and recognized that they were mine those earrings symbolized our promise to each other
00:33:54he frowned and questioned why are you wearing those earrings they belong to selena
00:34:11christy touched her earlobes casually
00:34:14she left them behind when she moved out there were boxes and boxes of jewelry she didn't take a single
00:34:20one
00:34:22the unease in eugene's heart deepened he murmured to himself why did selena leave everything behind
00:34:30why had she walked away from everything we'd shared
00:34:38the wedding proceeded as planned until it reached the marking ceremony
00:34:50by the moon's will i mark you as my own a werewolf burst through the doors with panic written all
00:34:56over his face
00:35:01alpha eugene bad news selena sent disappeared near an ice cavern we think she fell into the sea
00:35:08eugene's face eugene's face turned deathly pale
00:35:12at that very moment he felt a searing splitting pain in his chest
00:35:17it was as if an invisible thread had been violently torn apart
00:35:21he staggered and collapsed to his knees losing control as he shifted into his wolf
00:35:29he understood what this pain meant it was the agony of a true mate bond being broken
00:35:40selena
00:35:42but he hadn't rejected me so why was it breaking he couldn't bear to consider the other possibility
00:35:48the one that was far more terrifying that i might be dead eugene's pupils contracted sharply
00:35:53selena
00:35:57he howled fangs piercing his lower lip as he bolted toward the door
00:36:03don't go eugene
00:36:05it's too dangerous there we're in the middle of our wedding too
00:36:09grace blocked his path her golden eyes flashing coldly
00:36:13a she-wolf who dares to wander off on her own is simply courting death
00:36:19if she can't even follow the most basic rules how could she ever be an alpha's true mate
00:36:25she should have died long ago
00:36:29today was her birthday i should have been with her
00:36:32this must be the moon goddess's punishment
00:36:35she just got what she deserved i've said it once and i'll say it again she's better off dead
00:36:42mom she's my fated mate chosen by the moon goddess i can't just abandon her
00:36:50that's easy just send a few low-ranked wolves to search
00:36:56why would you need to conduct the search yourself it's taxing and you'll get yourself all dirty
00:37:06get out of my way
00:37:11with a single swipe of his claws he flung christie aside
00:37:14shattering the wedding decor as he charged out he completely ignored her screams behind him
00:37:26but for the first time since her pregnancy eugene did not turn around for her
00:37:33when eugene reached the frozen waters he found a crowd of werewolves surrounding a hole in the ice
00:37:38everyone was sighing it's hopeless she fell right in there's not even a trace of her left
00:37:45such a shame she's fish food now
00:37:53why hasn't anyone gone in after her dive in i'll pay whatever it takes to bring her back
00:37:59the werewolf tasked with the search was terrified but alpha the water's too deep and it's freezing no
00:38:05one's willing to risk their life for any amount of money also it's dark now we can't see a thing
00:38:10there's no way to recover a body she was just unlucky eugene lost all strength and collapsed onto the ice
00:38:30he stared blankly into the dark hole before crawling to the edge and shouting
00:38:36selena where are you he refused to believe i had drowned he threw heaps of gold and jewels into the
00:38:43hands of the searchers
00:38:47please just bring her back to me you can have anything you want just bring my mate back
00:38:54tempted by the riches a few brave werewolves dove into the icy water
00:39:20still they came back empty-handed
00:39:22still they came back empty-handed
00:39:28still they came back empty-handed
00:39:35eugene couldn't wait any longer he leapt into the frozen ocean himself diving and searching through
00:39:40the freezing water until the middle of the night
00:39:44so
00:40:03hurry pull
00:40:13this selena was wearing this today his eyes were reddened as tears came involuntarily
00:40:18he couldn't bear the reality he clutched the shawl to his chest crying and whispering on the
00:40:23ice selena come back i'm sorry i'll spend your birthday with you we'll have pups and live a
00:40:31happy life like we always planned you promised me but it was too late and a thing he said was
00:40:37futile
00:40:37he hadn't done all that while selena was still around now he would never have the chance to do
00:40:42them eugene looked up and howled bitterly at the sky then fainted on the ice at the other end of
00:40:50the ice cavern daria dragged me out of the water with all her strength the potion made my limbs numb
00:40:59and the bond breaking pain tore through my chest like claws selena stay awake if you sleep now you
00:41:08may never wake up i coughed out freezing water far away beyond layers of ice and wind i thought i
00:41:15heard eugene howling my name the sound reached me like a ghost from a life i had already buried
00:41:22daria looked back nervously he came he really came i pressed my palm against my aching heart
00:41:31the true mate bomb snapped inside me and my wolf gave one final wounded howl
00:41:42too late keep walking
00:41:47i cast one final glance back at the sea and silently whispered eugene i hope you like the wedding gift
00:41:54i
00:41:54gave you in this wine we shall never meet again
00:42:01by the time eugene returned home the sun had risen christy rushed to him the moment he walked in
00:42:09eugene you're finally back how could you just leave the wedding like that do you know what everyone is
00:42:14saying about me eugene seemed deaf to her voice he walked past her in a daze and sat down in
00:42:20front of
00:42:20the vanity my vanity he ran his hand slowly over the tabletop the jewelry box on it was still open
00:42:30inside were all the gifts he had given me over the years we'd been together
00:42:34i had left them all behind it's everything
00:42:40why did she leave everything christy forced a smile
00:42:45maybe she was angry she always wanted you to chase her but eugene did not look at her the abandoned
00:42:53jewelry shown coldly like evidence of a farewell he had refused to see after suddenly remembering
00:42:59something he rushed out and headed for the small house i'd recently moved into
00:43:08this was selena's new place why is there nothing here
00:43:15christy said since she's pregnant her expenses have gone up
00:43:19so the budget for selena's place had to be cut she also forbidden selena from eating meat
00:43:26eugene thought back to christy's lavish meals then to the jewelry and clothes she wore
00:43:33they were all things he had once bought for me
00:43:39she was fed only vegetables and legumes christy said that since selena wasn't pregnant she didn't need
00:43:47the extra nutrients
00:43:52on the bed lay a silver chain broken in half
00:43:56it was the token we'd made together on the day he confessed his love to me
00:44:02may our love be as eternal as the stars never to be broken
00:44:11now the chain lay shattered its pieces scattered across the bed just like the vows we once made
00:44:19eugene gently picked up the broken chain remembering the days when he and i had been so in love
00:44:24but over time things had changed we'd grown distant and drifted apart until we were no longer familiar
00:44:29with each other why had we changed he sat there in a daze was it when i agreed with mother
00:44:35to have
00:44:35a pup with christy was it when i gave the lunar ring to christy or was it when christy got
00:44:44pregnant
00:44:44and i spent every day at her side selena i'm sorry have i lost you forever
00:45:00enough a dead omega is not worth ruining the pack over christy is still pregnant
00:45:11if you say one more word against selena i will forget you are my mother
00:45:16that was then i'd be my morning
00:45:20mom to be honest i don't care about anyone else i only care about selena
00:45:25if i could get selena back i'd rather give up that cub
00:45:28grace could no longer contain her fury she raised her hand and slapped eugene across the face
00:45:35on my birthday eugene was busy holding a wedding with christy
00:45:39so no one had been paying attention to me
00:45:41i had seized that chance to stage my death in the frozen waters
00:45:48in truth i had floated away with the current alongside daria and the savings i had collected over the years
00:45:54we escaped to a neutral territory i had finally broken free from that gilded cage
00:46:01let's start a new life here and here i opened a restaurant with my exceptional cooking skills
00:46:08i quickly won over the local werewolves
00:46:13selena another bowl of stew no one cooks moon mix core like you
00:46:17they love your food then we'll survive
00:46:25we now earn our own keep we are free and strong and from here on out every day will be
00:46:31a good day
00:46:33business thrived and i even made more money than i ever had back in the nightwind pack
00:46:38here no one asked whether i was an omega before eating my food no one looked at my wrists to
00:46:44see if i wore a luna ring
00:46:50your soup saved my patrol team last night we were frozen half dead you should raise your prices
00:46:56if i raise them too much hungry wolves won't come in
00:47:03then you're kinder than most alphas in this small restaurant with flour on my sleeves and smoke in
00:47:09my hair i was more respected than i had ever been as his hidden mate i always thought that without
00:47:13the name of eugene i would be nothing don't worry miss in the neutral zone whether you're a werewolf
00:47:22or whatever else everyone makes a living based on their own abilities
00:47:33and you are the strongest most capable woman i have ever met meanwhile the nightwind pack had
00:47:40descended into chaos after the news of my supposed death reached the pack christy wasted no time in
00:47:47claiming the title of luna she strutted around giving orders to the other werewolves bossily
00:47:57eugene on the other hand drowned himself in alcohol and ignored everything
00:48:04until one day the packs beta came rushing in visibly pan
00:48:08alpha eugene members of the other packs have arrived they're demanding repayment of our debts
00:48:19no money go ask christy she's in charge of that christy already sold off all of the pack's assets
00:48:26the money's in her hands
00:48:30but every day she demands the most expensive jewelry herbs and fabrics
00:48:37we now have tens of millions in debt the neighboring pack says if we don't repay them they'll declare war
00:48:49what about the funds we previously stored up christy said all the money was with her
00:48:54but she admitted she already spent it all
00:48:56and no time
00:49:20so
00:49:25eugene the pup's coming soon i want to renovate the house and make a room just for him
00:49:30what do you think this is selena's house after the baby's born you'll move back to your own place
00:49:36keep the pup wherever you want selena is dead why can't i live here who said selena died
00:49:45selena will be back this house is hers she's used to living here you'd better move out
00:49:59i'm carrying your pup yet you're still pining for that weak useless lil boring she-wolf
00:50:06she's dead she's never coming back enough
00:50:13who told you she was dead as long as i haven't seen her body she's still alive
00:50:19and as long as she's alive the luna's position belongs to her
00:50:25you you hit me and you're you're saying the luna's title is hers what about me
00:50:32what am i then don't forget that i'm carrying your pup
00:50:38you can't turn your back on us i'm about to give birth to the night wind pack's heir
00:50:42you said yourself that this pack belongs to our son so what does it matter if selena comes back
00:50:48she can't even give you an heir she's nothing but a burden in this pack grace said it herself that
00:50:55selena is of low status and background only someone like me can help you seize power faster
00:51:01don't forget that i'm a pure blood beta wolf she's just an omega we're not even in the same league
00:51:13look at everything you've built up now have you forgotten my father's support behind it all
00:51:20you're saying my alpha status came from your father's help
00:51:25don't forget that you were my brother's mate
00:51:27i only agreed to give you a pup now that you're pregnant it means we're done
00:51:36what did you say
00:51:39you're going abandon me don't you dare
00:51:46her mask of weakness splitting apart
00:51:49if you try to walk away i'll have my father bring you before the pack elders forcing your sister-in
00:51:55-law
00:51:55into bed let them judge and see if you can still stay alpha after that
00:52:08you're completely insane do whatever you want but you're not living in selena's house
00:52:14if you refuse to move after the pup is born i'll have the guards throw you out myself
00:52:26what i didn't expect was that eugene used every means possible to find me
00:52:30one day when i opened the door of my restaurant i saw him standing outside
00:52:34i froze upon seeing him his eyes were bloodshot as he staggered forward
00:52:41selena i knew you weren't dead
00:52:44you're alive
00:52:47and i finally found you
00:52:50please come home with me
00:52:56alpha eugene you already have a mate
00:53:00why are you still bothering me
00:53:10i've never had another mate
00:53:13from beginning to end you have always been my one only
00:53:18christy is pregnant with your pup doesn't that make her your mate
00:53:26how high is your standard for another wolf to be your mate
00:53:32you once swore you'd only ever love me
00:53:36but you've broken that vow
00:53:39so you're not worthy of my heart
00:53:42you already trade that promise
00:53:46my fingers loosened from the doorframe
00:53:48and my voice became colder than before
00:53:52therefore
00:53:53i'm no longer your true mate
00:53:56leave
00:53:58i turned to close the door
00:54:00but he suddenly reached out to stop me
00:54:03selena
00:54:03i'm sorry for everything
00:54:05when i heard you drowned it nearly killed me
00:54:08that's when i realized that i can't lose you
00:54:11i know i've made a lot of mistakes
00:54:13but i'm begging you
00:54:17give me a chance to make things right
00:54:19i've already made things clear with christy
00:54:21i won't be involved with her again
00:54:26once the pup is born he'll be made my brother's son
00:54:33i need you to understand something
00:54:38she will never step foot in the night wind pack again
00:54:40there will only ever be one luna in the night wind pack
00:54:43and that's you selena
00:54:50i've been waiting for you to come back
00:54:53i laughed coldly inside
00:54:55love that came too late was worth less than dirt
00:54:58a mate like this was no longer someone i wanted
00:55:01eugene i'm doing just fine
00:55:03i've built a life where i can support myself
00:55:05i don't need to rely on you anymore
00:55:09no one gossips about me around here
00:55:12i no longer feel hurt seeing you with another woman
00:55:14i don't need to suffer for not pleasing your mother
00:55:26i'm tired of that toxic world and all its games
00:55:30more importantly
00:55:31you betrayed me
00:55:35no matter how much you try to make up for it
00:55:38you're no longer the man i once loved
00:55:41every time i see you i remember you and christy together
00:55:44i feel disgusted
00:55:59i've already used a magic potion to break our true mate bond
00:56:03we'll never be true mates again
00:56:07this is the severance letter i wrote
00:56:10it states that i am officially no longer your mate
00:56:13you're free to choose any she-wolf as your luna
00:56:21from this moment on we're done
00:56:24let's never see each other again okay
00:56:36selena
00:56:38please
00:56:39don't do this to me
00:56:40i didn't do this to you
00:56:43you did this to us
00:56:46eugene
00:56:47i once begged you just like this didn't i
00:56:53i begged you not to sleep with your sister-in-law
00:56:56i begged you not to betray our love
00:56:59yet you remained unmoved
00:57:02this situation is entirely of your own making
00:57:05you brought this upon yourself
00:57:14when eugene returned to the pack
00:57:16he found christy at his office door
00:57:27eugene
00:57:29you're back
00:57:30where did you go i couldn't find you anywhere
00:57:34get out of my way
00:57:35why are you here
00:57:36didn't i already say that you and the pup have nothing to do with me anymore
00:57:39he's your son
00:57:41how can he have nothing to do with with you
00:57:43you said he'd inherit the night wind pack
00:57:46and that he'd be the next alpha
00:57:47have you forgotten
00:57:50you think can make selena the luna if she comes back
00:57:54don't kid yourself
00:57:55i'm the only luna of the night wind pack
00:57:58if you dare disown your pup
00:58:00i'll hang myself with him at the gate
00:58:07what's wrong with christy
00:58:08why must you be obsessed with selena
00:58:10you're going to drive me to my grave
00:58:12when we picked up selena
00:58:14she was filthy and reeked of who knows what
00:58:17who knows what diseases that omega carried
00:58:20i've hated her since she was a pup
00:58:22yet you're so obsessed
00:58:24i know what it is
00:58:25she must have cast a spell on you
00:58:28that witch drove out christy
00:58:30and now the pack has no air
00:58:32she's going to destroy us
00:58:33she's evil eugene
00:58:36eugene stared at grace in disbelief
00:58:42mom what kind of insane nonsense are you even saying
00:58:45you'd stoop this low just to slander selena
00:58:49and i've been conflow just to slant of the night wind pat
00:58:57i've already made a mistake and lost selena
00:59:01i won't make another
00:59:03the night wind packs luna
00:59:05will only ever be selena
00:59:07upon hearing this
00:59:09grace immediately fainted
00:59:13eugene
00:59:14you will pay the price for your decision
00:59:17i've already lost selena
00:59:20do you really think there's anything left that i can lose
00:59:24go ahead
00:59:25do whatever you want
00:59:28he turned around in fury and walked away from them all
00:59:30he didn't even bother going home anymore
00:59:36how could such a thing happen while we were away
00:59:39this is incest
00:59:42summon eugene and christy at once
00:59:47how could you have your sister-in-law bear your heir and make her luna
00:59:52that's increstius
00:59:54there has never been such a precedent
01:00:02even eugene refuses to acknowledge the pup we will not acknowledge him either
01:00:10she had never imagined that everything she had schemed so hard for would become shackles that ultimately crushed her
01:00:17no you cannot treat my cub this way and you certainly cannot treat me this way
01:00:22i am luna of the night wind tribe and my cub is the future alpha of the night wind tribe
01:00:27eugene promised me this
01:00:30he said it with his own lip
01:00:32if you continue to carry on like this
01:00:35the council of elders will expel you directly from the tribe
01:00:39and you will be left with absolutely nothing
01:00:55that night christy's father arrived with an engagement proposal
01:00:59his face as cold as the winter sea
01:01:19you brought shame to our bloodline
01:01:23the elders refused to recognize your pup
01:01:26and eugene refuses to marry you
01:01:30tomorrow you will leave with a widowed border wolf
01:01:39he doesn't care about scandal as long as we pay enough
01:01:46no i'm the luna
01:01:48eugene promised me grace promised me
01:01:52grace guiltily averted her gaze
01:01:54for she too feared punishment from the council of elders
01:01:57christy perhaps leaving is better for the pup
01:02:02after all your reputation within the tribe is committing the tribing and completely ruined by now
01:02:10so when you needed my womb i was noble
01:02:13now that selena is gone and eugene hates me i'm filth
01:02:16fine if i have no way back
01:02:19neither will he
01:02:22i swear by the goddess of the moon
01:02:25if my cub and i do not fare well then
01:02:27you and eugene shall suffer a thousand fold
01:02:30a million fold
01:02:31i swear it
01:02:33a few days later when eugene returned from a meeting
01:02:36christy stood in his path
01:02:37my father has decided to marry me off to someone else
01:02:41yes i'll be leaving tomorrow
01:02:44can you at least come see our pup one more time
01:02:46eugene nodded slightly and agreed to accompany her
01:03:00tomorrow i'll be gone and married to someone else
01:03:03eugene i have one last question for you
01:03:06will you really never let me be your mate
01:03:16i hope your future mate is a responsible werewolf who treats you well
01:03:20this is my blessing to you
01:03:23both as your alpha
01:03:24and as your younger brother
01:03:27you and grace are both so heartless
01:03:30back when you had no air
01:03:35you brushed selena aside and got me pregnant
01:03:38you cheated on her without any hesitation
01:03:42if you loved her so much why did you sleep with me in the first place
01:03:46don't pretend you didn't enjoy it
01:03:49don't pretend that you weren't obsessed with my body
01:03:52eugene you are a hippipical and incompetent partner
01:03:58her gaze became malicious
01:04:01you made me bear you a pup
01:04:03and now you're just throwing me away
01:04:06how is that fair
01:04:15you once whispered to me that you'd live and die by my side
01:04:19i believed you
01:04:20you can't betray both selena and me
01:04:25by then eugene finally realized something was wrong
01:04:30that would make you a monster wouldn't it
01:04:39christy what did you put in the wine
01:04:46just enough wolf bait to keep an alpha still
01:04:53no christy you cannot do this
01:04:56i am the alpha of the night wind tribe
01:04:59do you realize the punishment for murdering an alpha
01:05:03your wolf spirit will be slain
01:05:05and you will be permanently banished from the tribe
01:05:10condemned to become nothing more
01:05:12and a lone wanderer
01:05:17eugene it's too late to say any of this now
01:05:19at this point i no longer care about anything

01:05:25she lit the gas she had placed around the room earlier
01:05:28flames broke out instantly
01:05:30filling the space with the acrid scent of things being burned

01:06:09eugene's consciousness faded
01:06:11the last thing he saw was christy stripping
01:06:13and lying down beside him
01:06:14the flame surged and engulfed the entire room
01:06:21just before losing consciousness completely
01:06:23eugene thought he saw selena
01:06:25amidst the sea of flames
01:06:27she was smiling as she walked toward him
01:06:29yet eugene knew this was merely a dying hallucination
01:06:33selena was in the neutral zone
01:06:34and she would never return

01:06:50alpha eugene and his sister-in-law died in the same fire
01:06:53and their bodies were found entwined in a scandalous position

01:07:41selena
01:07:42i have been entrusted by eugene to hand over all of his assets to you
01:07:45everything he owned prior to his passing
01:07:49he drew up a will long ago
01:07:51stipulating that his money
01:07:53his house and his car are all yours
01:07:56lady grace has been expelled from the tribe by the council of elders
01:07:59rumor has it that she now survives by begging

01:08:10but the person who once loved him had died in the frozen sea long ago
01:08:17life will get better and better in the future
01:08:22customers flooded in daily
01:08:23of course some were curious about my past
01:08:27selena

01:08:44people here were honest
01:08:45kind
01:08:45and open-minded
01:08:46they respected those who lived by the work of their own hands
01:08:50no one looked down on me

01:09:16living alone isn't bad at all
01:09:20we knew that our former life had become a thing of the past
01:09:23and that our life now was incredibly happy
01:09:27living alone wasn't bad at all
01:09:29i even started thinking that in a few years
01:09:31i might adopt a few sweet pups and raise them myself
01:09:35i'd take care of their education
01:09:37and nurture them to grow up strong
01:09:39that kind of life could be just as beautiful in its own way
01:09:42in fact i really did do that
01:09:45daria stood beside me as we opened the restaurant door for another morning
