Short filmTranscript
00:00:02Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies.
00:00:07My Alpha Cain had an affair with his mistress Beta the day before our mating ceremony.
00:00:12He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing, unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive
00:00:20every betrayal we uttered.
00:00:22Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.
00:00:28In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.
00:00:32The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too
00:00:37long.
00:00:38Good.
00:00:39My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.
00:00:44Rest assured, no one will question it. We'll simulate a death by silver. No wolf survives that kind of damage.
00:00:52Only then, did I let out a slow breath.
00:00:55After confirming the remaining details, I hung up, and pushed open the door, to the private room.
00:01:02The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.
00:01:06Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.
00:01:10The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Cain.
00:01:15Cain, seated at the center, rose immediately.
00:01:18His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern.
00:01:24His voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.
00:01:28My little wolf, where did you go? I can smell fear on you.
00:01:33He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze, and forced down the bitterness rising
00:01:40in my chest.
00:01:40I shook my head.
00:01:43I'm fine. Let's just keep going.
00:01:46Still holding my hand, Cain led me back to my seat.
00:01:50The room gradually came back to life, until someone spoke up.
00:01:54Cain, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond.
00:01:59So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?
00:02:01My nails dug into my palm.
00:02:04Being the useless one who couldn't shift, I'd long since gotten used to names like that.
00:02:10But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Cain.
00:02:18Someone beside the speaker nudged him.
00:02:21Hey watch it, your Luna's right here.
00:02:24He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.
00:02:27What's the problem?
00:02:29It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.
00:02:33I'm just curious how Cain plans to deal with his little bitch.
00:02:37All eyes turned to Cain.
00:02:39A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.
00:02:43I'll keep her.
00:02:44He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.
00:02:50She's just a pet I keep around.
00:02:52My only mate is Aria.
00:02:54He smirked faintly.
00:02:56But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.
00:03:00So I've kept it well hidden.
00:03:03Even after the mate bond.
00:03:05I won't let her find out.
00:03:08His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.
00:03:13Watch your mouths.
00:03:14If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.
00:03:19These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked them.
00:03:24If anything, they sounded amused.
00:03:27Cain's got it bad.
00:03:29Can't even let his little toy get exposed.
00:03:32Well, she can't shift.
00:03:33Figures she'd be fragile.
00:03:36Someone's eyes lit up.
00:03:38Curiosity getting the better of him.
00:03:40Cain, if Aria can't sense anything,
00:03:43than you and that beta pet.
00:03:47Have you ever, you know, at home?
00:03:50Cain chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.
00:03:54Of course.
00:03:56It's been wild.
00:03:59The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.
00:04:03Cain really knows how to play!
00:04:06A useless one like that?
00:04:08Easy to fool.
00:04:10Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.
00:04:16Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.
00:04:21Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.
00:04:26No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.
00:04:29My knuckles had gone white.
00:04:32No one knew.
00:04:33Three days ago, I had my awakening.
00:04:38And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.
00:04:42I would never complete a mate bond with Cain.
00:04:46On the day of the ceremony,
00:04:48the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.
00:04:52A fake one.
00:04:53Cain glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.
00:04:58My little wolf, why aren't you eating?
00:05:02I looked at him.
00:05:03At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern
00:05:08and forced a faint smile.
00:05:11What were you all talking about that got you so excited?
00:05:14Cain smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
00:05:20They were just saying they envy envy our bond.
00:05:23That will be the most devoted pair there is.
00:05:27Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.
00:05:31I caught every single one of them.
00:05:33The mockery.
00:05:34The cruelty.
00:05:35It burned.
00:05:37My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver.
00:05:41The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.
00:05:44They had been talking about him and that woman.
00:05:47Yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.
00:05:52Cain, I never realized you could lie so easily.
00:05:56I set my silver fork down and stood.
00:05:59I didn't want to hear another word of it.
00:06:02The moment I moved to leave, Cain was on his feet.
00:06:05A flicker of panic crossing his face.
00:06:08Little wolf, what's wrong?
00:06:11I shook my head.
00:06:13My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.
00:06:17I'm tired.
00:06:19I want to go back to the pack house.
00:06:22I didn't wait for his response.
00:06:24I turned and walked out.
00:06:26Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.
00:06:32A mating display was playing.
00:06:35Aria, be my mate.
00:06:38The words stretched across the center in bold, impossible-to-miss letters.
00:06:44People passing by slowed down, their voices full of envy.
00:06:51Oh my god, I heard Alpha Cain's girl can't shift, so he rented the biggest screen in the city just
00:06:56so she could clearly see the words,
00:06:58Be my mate?
00:06:59That's insanely romantic.
00:07:02He treats that girl so well.
00:07:05After the mate bond, he's going to be the perfect alpha.
00:07:09I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.
00:07:15A week ago, I would have reacted the same way.
00:07:20I would have believed in Cain's love without question.
00:07:24I was born into a declining pack.
00:07:28From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.
00:07:32Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace.
00:07:36A failure.
00:07:38Cain entered my life under those circumstances.
00:07:41He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.
00:07:47But I had seen this kind of attention before.
00:07:50Cruel games disguised as affection.
00:07:53So I avoided him.
00:07:5699 times he confessed.
00:07:5999 times I turned him down.
00:08:02Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked.
00:08:05He threw himself over me without hesitation.
00:08:08Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move.
00:08:13He held his position, shielding me with his body.
00:08:17When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.
00:08:23And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me was reach out and gently touch my face.
00:08:31My little wolf, as long as you're safe.
00:08:34That was the moment everything changed.
00:08:37For the first time, I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift,
00:08:42could be worth risking everything for.
00:08:45The walls around my heart cracked open for him.
00:08:48The wound from the Silver never fully healed.
00:08:52It left behind a permanent circular scar.
00:08:56Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
00:09:02For five years, he never wavered.
00:09:05He treated me with the same devotion, the same care, as if I were the only one who mattered.
00:09:14Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.
00:09:20And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real.
00:09:26Something more.
00:09:26I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the mate
00:09:33ritual.
00:09:34If it failed, I would have died.
00:09:38But I survived.
00:09:40Not only that, I gained something rare.
00:09:43Empathic sense.
00:09:44I decided to keep it a secret.
00:09:47I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
00:09:51But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart.
00:09:56Through that new ability, I sensed him.
00:09:59Kane.
00:10:00Talking to his beta pet.
00:10:02Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.
00:10:08That was when I learned the truth.
00:10:10He had already betrayed our bond.
00:10:13For an entire year.
00:10:15And I had known nothing.
00:10:17A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.
00:10:24His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again.
00:10:28Even with the mate ceremony approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship.
00:10:35Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?
00:10:40The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless.
00:10:44But my mind had never been clearer.
00:10:47I would show Kane the truth.
00:10:50Lies don't last forever.
00:10:52And I would never forgive betrayal.
00:10:54I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest.
00:11:00Just as I was about to head back, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
00:11:07Kane's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.
00:11:12It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to breathe.
00:11:16Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me?
00:11:19Are you in a bad mood today?
00:11:21Then let me take you to see your mate dress.
00:11:24The custom piece just arrived.
00:11:27He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to the back of my neck,
00:11:32gently stroking the spot where his marking remained.
00:11:38I don't feel like going.
00:11:40Just pick it yourself.
00:11:42I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.
00:11:45There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.
00:11:49Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone.
00:11:52His voice softened, almost cautious.
00:11:56Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?
00:12:01Do you not want to bond with me anymore?
00:12:04I looked at him.
00:12:06At the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.
00:12:09I almost told him the truth.
00:12:12Yes, I don't want this anymore.
00:12:14You were the one who betrayed us first.
00:12:17You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.
00:12:20You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.
00:12:24And now you're asking me why?
00:12:27But I wasn't ready to expose everything.
00:12:30Not yet.
00:12:32At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside,
00:12:36an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress prepared in advance.
00:12:41Miss, the gown alpha Kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.
00:12:45Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.
00:12:49The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous.
00:12:54Moonstones were set into the bodice, casting a soft, sacred glow.
00:12:59Kane wrapped an arm around my waist.
00:13:01My little wolf, do you like it?
00:13:05I couldn't deny it.
00:13:06The design was exactly my taste.
00:13:09But no matter how beautiful it was,
00:13:12it couldn't mend what had already been broken.
00:13:15Look closer, Kane said softly.
00:13:18At the center of the moonstone.
00:13:20I followed his gaze.
00:13:22Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.
00:13:26A and K, forever.
00:13:28The moon goddess is our witness.
00:13:32My love for you will last forever too.
00:13:35I stared at the stone,
00:13:36at the tiny letters carved into its heart.
00:13:39Then I turned to him and met his eyes.
00:13:43Eyes filled with something that looked like love.
00:13:47Will your love for me really last forever?
00:13:52A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.
00:13:56I Kane, swear, swear that I will love Arya forever.
00:14:01For my entire life.
00:14:04If I break this oath,
00:14:06may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.
00:14:09Such a solemn vow.
00:14:11And yet, it couldn't warm a heart that had already gone cold.
00:14:17He had already broken it.
00:14:18And still, he kept acting.
00:14:22Didn't he get tired?
00:14:24I turned my face away, unwilling to look at him any longer.
00:14:29Kane seemed about to say something else, but his phone suddenly rang.
00:14:33His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer.
00:14:38When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.
00:14:44Little wolf, something urgent just came up.
00:14:46Go ahead and try the dress.
00:14:48If anything needs adjusting, just tell the staff.
00:14:51He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.
00:14:56I watched his retreating figure, a bitter thought settling in.
00:15:01Kane had never walked away from me for pack business.
00:15:04And just before he left, I had caught it.
00:15:08That flicker in his eyes.
00:15:11Raw, instinctive desire.
00:15:14Work?
00:15:16Hardly.
00:15:17He was going to see her.
00:15:19When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.
00:15:23The slight dip in the mattress.
00:15:26The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla, and lingering scent, thick with unmistakable desire.
00:15:33The thought hit me all at once.
00:15:36Kane and that beta had been here, on this bed.
00:15:40Entwined.
00:15:41My stomach twisted violently.
00:15:43I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop.
00:15:48Kane had just come back.
00:15:50The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.
00:15:54Little wolf, did you eat something bad?
00:15:57I'll call a healer right now.
00:16:01I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red.
00:16:05I'm fine.
00:16:06I just thought of something disgusting.
00:16:10Kane dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
00:16:15Jess, don't think about things like that.
00:16:19Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
00:16:22I looked down at him, at the open collar of his shirt, and the marks on his skin.
00:16:29Bite marks, fresh, obvious.
00:16:32Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.
00:16:36How strong did Kane have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body, and still look at me
00:16:41like I was the only one he cared about?
00:16:45His voice grew sharper, more agitated.
00:16:49Who did this to you?
00:16:51Who made Maid?
00:16:52My little wolf like this.
00:16:55Tell me.
00:16:56I'll tear them apart.
00:16:58A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
00:17:02Kane, you're the one who did this to me.
00:17:06Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl.
00:17:12Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.
00:17:17But the bed was empty.
00:17:19I sat up and went downstairs.
00:17:22As I reached the second floor, I heard it.
00:17:25A woman's breathless voice.
00:17:28Soft, broken.
00:17:30I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest, then walked toward the guest room.
00:17:37The door was wide open.
00:17:39Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.
00:17:45Inside, Kane was bare from the waist up.
00:17:49The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.
00:17:52The long skirt pushed up to her waist.
00:17:54Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.
00:17:58Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck, her voice unsteady.
00:18:03Alpha, the dress I just got today, you already torn it.
00:18:08Kane let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
00:18:15You wore it for me, didn't you?
00:18:19I even had the designer make one just for you.
00:18:22So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?
00:18:26She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
00:18:31Alpha, I can't, I can't take ache anymore.
00:18:35Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
00:18:40What if Aria sees us?
00:18:42Kane stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
00:18:47She's useless.
00:18:48She doesn't understand anything.
00:18:50Don't you dare tell her about us.
00:18:52The beta traced circles against his chest.
00:18:55Her tone soft, almost hurt.
00:18:58I know.
00:18:59I just...
00:19:00She's about to become your mate.
00:19:03And I'll always have to stay hidden.
00:19:07It makes me sad.
00:19:09Kane's expression softened slightly.
00:19:12You jealous little thing.
00:19:14I already brought you into this house.
00:19:16Isn't that enough?
00:19:18Don't worry.
00:19:19Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you.
00:19:23Whatever area has, you'll have too.
00:19:26Moonlight lit up my face, where I stood outside the door.
00:19:30I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.
00:19:36Everything.
00:19:36Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades, carving wound after wound into my chest.
00:19:44I turned and ran.
00:19:47Barefoot.
00:19:48Straight out into the rain.
00:19:50Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.
00:19:53I just needed to get away.
00:19:55As far away as possible.
00:19:57Through the haze, I thought I saw him.
00:20:01A younger Kane.
00:20:03The one, I had once loved.
00:20:06His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.
00:20:11Little Wolf, leave him.
00:20:14Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore.
00:20:17And never forgive him.
00:20:19My vision burned as I looked at that memory.
00:20:23At the Alpha, I had once given my heart to.
00:20:27Okay.
00:20:28I whispered.
00:20:29I will leave you.
00:20:32And I will never forgive you.
00:20:49Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies.
00:20:53My Alpha Kane had an affair with his mistress Beta the day before our mating ceremony.
00:20:58He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing, unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive
00:21:06every betrayal we uttered.
00:21:09Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.
00:21:15In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.
00:21:18The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too
00:21:24long.
00:21:25Good.
00:21:26My voice came out low.
00:21:27A restrained edge of something feral beneath it.
00:21:31Rest assured, no one will question it.
00:21:33We'll simulate a death by silver.
00:21:36No wolf survives that kind of damage.
00:21:39Only then, did I let out a slow breath.
00:21:42After confirming the remaining details, I hung up, and pushed open the door, to the private room.
00:21:49The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.
00:21:53Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.
00:21:57The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Kane.
00:22:01Kane, seated at the center, rose immediately.
00:22:05His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern.
00:22:11His voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.
00:22:14My little wolf, where did you go?
00:22:17I can smell fear on you.
00:22:20He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze,
00:22:24and forced down the bitterness rising in my chest.
00:22:27I shook my head.
00:22:29I'm fine.
00:22:31Let's just keep going.
00:22:32Still holding my hand, Kane led me back to my seat.
00:22:36The room gradually came back to life, until someone spoke up.
00:22:41Kane, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond.
00:22:45So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?
00:22:48My nails dug into my palm.
00:22:50Being the useless one who couldn't shift, I'd long since gotten used to names like that.
00:22:56But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Kane.
00:23:04Someone beside the speaker nudged him.
00:23:08Hey watch it, your Luna's right here.
00:23:10He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.
00:23:14What's the problem?
00:23:15It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.
00:23:20I'm just curious how Kane plans to deal with his little bitch.
00:23:23All eyes turned to Kane.
00:23:26A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.
00:23:29I'll keep her.
00:23:31He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.
00:23:36She's just a pet I keep around.
00:23:38My only mate is Aria.
00:23:41He smirked faintly.
00:23:43But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.
00:23:47So I've kept it well hidden.
00:23:50Even after the mate bond, I won't let her find out.
00:23:54His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.
00:23:59Watch your mouths.
00:24:01If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.
00:24:06These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked them.
00:24:11If anything, they sounded amused.
00:24:14Kane's got it bad.
00:24:16Can't even let his little toy get exposed.
00:24:18Well, she can't shift.
00:24:20Figures she'd be fragile.
00:24:22Someone's eyes lit up.
00:24:24Curiosity getting the better of him.
00:24:27Kane, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at home?
00:24:36Kane chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.
00:24:41Of course.
00:24:43It's been wild.
00:24:45The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.
00:24:49Kane really knows how to play.
00:24:53A useless one like that?
00:24:55Easy to fool.
00:24:57Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.
00:25:03Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.
00:25:08Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.
00:25:13No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.
00:25:16My knuckles had gone white.
00:25:18No one knew.
00:25:19Three days ago, I had my awakening.
00:25:25And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.
00:25:29I would never complete a mate bond with Kane.
00:25:32On the day of the ceremony, the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.
00:25:38A fake one.
00:25:40Kane glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.
00:25:45My little wolf, why aren't you eating?
00:25:48I looked at him.
00:25:50At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern and forced a faint smile.
00:25:57What were you all talking about that got you so excited?
00:26:01Kane smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
00:26:07They were just saying they envy envy our bond.
00:26:09That will be the most devoted pair there is.
00:26:13Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.
00:26:17I caught every single one of them.
00:26:19The mockery.
00:26:20The cruelty.
00:26:22It burned.
00:26:24My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver.
00:26:28The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.
00:26:31They had been talking about him and that woman.
00:26:34Yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.
00:26:38Kane, I never realized you could lie so easily.
00:26:42I set my silver fork down and stood.
00:26:45I didn't want to hear another word of it.
00:26:48The moment I moved to leave, Kane was on his feet.
00:26:52A flicker of panic crossing his face.
00:26:55Little wolf, what's wrong?
00:26:58I shook my head.
00:26:59My voice came out soft.
00:27:01Barely more than a breath.
00:27:04I'm tired.
00:27:06I want to go back to the pack house.
00:27:08I didn't wait for his response.
00:27:10I turned and walked out.
00:27:13Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.
00:27:19A mating display was playing.
00:27:22Aria, be my mate.
00:27:25The words stretched across the center in bold impossible to miss letters.
00:27:31People passing by slowed down.
00:27:33Their voices full of envy.
00:27:37Oh my god, I heard Alpha Kane's girl can't shift so he rented the biggest screen in the city just
00:27:43so she could clearly see the words,
00:27:44Be my mate?
00:27:46That's insanely romantic.
00:27:49He treats that girl so well.
00:27:51After the mate bond, he's going to be the perfect alpha.
00:27:55I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.
00:28:02A week ago, I would have reacted the same way.
00:28:07I would have believed in Kane's love without question.
00:28:11I was born into a declining pack.
00:28:14From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.
00:28:19Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace.
00:28:23A failure.
00:28:25Kane entered my life under those circumstances.
00:28:28He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.
00:28:33But I had seen this kind of attention before.
00:28:37Cruel games disguised as affection.
00:28:40So I avoided him.
00:28:4299 times he confessed.
00:28:4599 times I turned him down.
00:28:48Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked.
00:28:52He threw himself over me without hesitation.
00:28:55Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move.
00:29:00He held his position, shielding me with his body.
00:29:04When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.
00:29:10And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me was reach out and gently touch my face.
00:29:17My little wolf, as long as you're safe.
00:29:21That was the moment everything changed.
00:29:24For the first time, I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking everything
00:29:30for.
00:29:31The walls around my heart cracked open for him.
00:29:35The wound from the Silver never fully healed.
00:29:39It left behind a permanent circular scar.
00:29:42Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
00:29:49For five years, he never wavered.
00:29:52He treated me with the same devotion, the same care, as if I were the only one who mattered.
00:30:01Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.
00:30:07And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real.
00:30:12Something more.
00:30:14I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the mate
00:30:20ritual.
00:30:21If it failed, I would have died.
00:30:24But I survived.
00:30:26Not only that, I gained something rare.
00:30:30Empathic sense.
00:30:31I decided to keep it a secret.
00:30:34I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
00:30:38But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart.
00:30:42Through that new ability, I sensed him.
00:30:46Kane.
00:30:47Talking to his beta pet.
00:30:48Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.
00:30:54That was when I learned the truth.
00:30:57He had already betrayed our bond.
00:30:59For an entire year.
00:31:02And I had known nothing.
00:31:04A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.
00:31:11His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again.
00:31:16Even with the mate ceremony approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship.
00:31:21Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?
00:31:26The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless.
00:31:31But my mind had never been clearer.
00:31:34I would show Kane the truth.
00:31:36Lies don't last forever.
00:31:39And I would never forgive betrayal.
00:31:41I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest.
00:31:46Just as I was about to head back, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
00:31:53Kane's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.
00:31:58It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to breathe.
00:32:03Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me?
00:32:05Are you in a bad mood today?
00:32:08Then let me take you to see your mate dress.
00:32:11The custom piece just arrived.
00:32:13He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to the back of my neck, gently stroking the spot
00:32:20where his marking remained.
00:32:24I don't feel like going.
00:32:26Just pick it yourself.
00:32:29I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.
00:32:32There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.
00:32:36Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone.
00:32:39His voice softened, almost cautious.
00:32:42Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?
00:32:48Do you not want to bond with me anymore?
00:32:51I looked at him, at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.
00:32:55I almost told him the truth.
00:32:58Yes, I don't want this anymore.
00:33:01You were the one who betrayed us first.
00:33:04You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.
00:33:06You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.
00:33:11And now you're asking me why?
00:33:14But I wasn't ready to expose everything, not yet.
00:33:19At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside, an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress
00:33:26prepared in advance.
00:33:28Miss, the gown Alpha Kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.
00:33:32Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.
00:33:36The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous.
00:33:40Moonstones were set into the bodice, casting a soft, sacred glow.
00:33:46Kane wrapped an arm around my waist.
00:33:48My little wolf, do you like it?
00:33:51I couldn't deny it.
00:33:53The design was exactly my taste.
00:33:55But no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't mend what had already been broken.
00:34:02Look closer, Kane said softly.
00:34:04At the center of the moonstone.
00:34:06I followed his gaze.
00:34:09Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.
00:34:12A and K.
00:34:14Forever.
00:34:15The moon goddess is our witness.
00:34:18My love for you will last forever too.
00:34:21I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart.
00:34:26Then I turned to him, and met his eyes.
00:34:30Eyes filled with something that looked like love.
00:34:34Will your love for me really last forever?
00:34:39A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.
00:34:43I Kane, swear, swear that I will love Arya forever.
00:34:47For my entire life.
00:34:50If I break this oath, may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.
00:34:56Such a solemn vow.
00:34:58And yet, it couldn't warm a heart that had already gone cold.
00:35:03He had already broken it.
00:35:05And still, he kept acting.
00:35:09Didn't he get tired?
00:35:11I turned my face away, unwilling to look at him any longer.
00:35:15Kane seemed about to say something else.
00:35:18But his phone suddenly rang.
00:35:20His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer.
00:35:25When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.
00:35:30Little wolf, something urgent just came up.
00:35:33Go ahead and try the dress.
00:35:34If anything needs adjusting, just tell the staff.
00:35:37He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.
00:35:42I watched his retreating figure, a bitter thought settling in.
00:35:48Kane had never walked away from me for pack business.
00:35:51And just before he left, I had caught it.
00:35:54That flicker in his eyes.
00:35:57Raw, instinctive desire.
00:36:01Work?
00:36:02Hardly.
00:36:03He was going to see her.
00:36:06When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.
00:36:10The slight dip in the mattress.
00:36:12The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla and lingering scent, thick with unmistakable desire.
00:36:20The thought hit me all at once.
00:36:23Kane and that beta had been here, on this bed.
00:36:26Entwined.
00:36:27My stomach twisted violently.
00:36:30I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop.
00:36:34Kane had just come back.
00:36:36The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.
00:36:41Little wolf, did you eat something bad?
00:36:43I'll call a healer right now.
00:36:47I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red.
00:36:51I'm fine.
00:36:52I just thought of something disgusting.
00:36:56Kane dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
00:37:03Don't think about things like that.
00:37:05Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
00:37:08I looked down at him, at the open collar of his shirt, and the marks on his skin.
00:37:16Bite marks, fresh, obvious.
00:37:19Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.
00:37:22How strong did Kane have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body, and still look at
00:37:28me like I was the only one he cared about?
00:37:31His voice grew sharper, more agitated.
00:37:35Who did this to you?
00:37:37Who made Maid?
00:37:39My little wolf like this.
00:37:41Tell me.
00:37:43I'll tear them apart.
00:37:45A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
00:37:49Kane, you're the one who did this to me.
00:37:53Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl.
00:37:58Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.
00:38:04But the bed was empty.
00:38:06I sat up and went downstairs.
00:38:08As I reached the second floor, I heard it.
00:38:11A woman's breathless voice.
00:38:15Soft, broken.
00:38:17I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest, then walked toward
00:38:22the guest room.
00:38:23The door was wide open.
00:38:26Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.
00:38:32Inside, Kane was bare from the waist up.
00:38:35The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.
00:38:38The long skirt pushed up to her waist.
00:38:41Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.
00:38:44Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck, her voice unsteady.
00:38:49Alpha, the dress I just got today.
00:38:53You already torn it.
00:38:55Kane let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
00:39:02You wore it for me, didn't you?
00:39:05I even had the designer make one just for you.
00:39:08So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?
00:39:12She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
00:39:17Alpha, I can't, I can't take ache anymore.
00:39:22Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
00:39:26What if Aria sees us?
00:39:29Kane stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
00:39:33She's useless.
00:39:35She doesn't understand anything.
00:39:37Don't you dare tell her about us.
00:39:39The beta traced circles against his chest.
00:39:42Her tone soft, almost hurt.
00:39:44I know.
00:39:45I just...
00:39:47I just...
00:39:47She's about to become your mate.
00:39:50And I'll always have to stay hidden.
00:39:53It makes me sad.
00:39:56Kane's expression softened slightly.
00:39:59You jealous little thing.
00:40:01I already brought you into this house.
00:40:03Isn't that enough?
00:40:05Don't worry.
00:40:06Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you.
00:40:09Whatever area has, you'll have too.
00:40:13Moonlight lit up my face, where I stood outside the door.
00:40:17I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.
00:40:23Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades, carving wound after wound into my chest.
00:40:31I turned and ran.
00:40:33Barefoot.
00:40:34Straight out into the rain.
00:40:37Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.
00:40:40I just needed to get away.
00:40:42As far away as possible.
00:40:44Through the haze, I thought I saw him.
00:40:47A younger Kane.
00:40:49The one I had once loved.
00:40:52His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.
00:40:58Little Wolf, leave him.
00:41:01Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore.
00:41:04And never forgive him.
00:41:06My vision burned as I looked at that memory.
00:41:09At the Alpha, I had once given my heart to.
00:41:13Okay.
00:41:14I whispered.
00:41:16I will leave you.
00:41:17Okay.
00:41:19And I will never forgive you.
00:41:36Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies.
00:41:40My Alpha Kane had an affair with his mistress Beta, the day before our mating ceremony.
00:41:45He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing, unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive
00:41:53every betrayal we uttered.
00:41:56Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.
00:42:02In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.
00:42:05The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too
00:42:11long.
00:42:12Good.
00:42:12My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.
00:42:17Rest assured, no one will question it.
00:42:20We'll simulate a death by silver.
00:42:23No wolf survives that kind of damage.
00:42:26Only then, did I let out a slow breath.
00:42:29After confirming the remaining details, I hung up, and pushed open the door, to the private room.
00:42:36The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.
00:42:39Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.
00:42:43The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Kane.
00:42:48Kane, seated at the center, rose immediately.
00:42:52His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern.
00:42:57His voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.
00:43:01My little wolf, where did you go?
00:43:04I can smell fear on you.
00:43:06He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze,
00:43:11and forced down the bitterness rising in my chest.
00:43:14I shook my head.
00:43:16I'm fine.
00:43:17Let's just keep going.
00:43:19Still holding my hand, Kane led me back to my seat.
00:43:23The room gradually came back to life, until someone spoke up.
00:43:27Kane, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond.
00:43:32So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?
00:43:35My nails dug into my palm.
00:43:37Being the useless one who couldn't shift, I'd long since gotten used to names like that.
00:43:43But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Kane.
00:43:51Someone beside the speaker nudged him.
00:43:54Hey, watch it.
00:43:56Your Luna's right here.
00:43:57He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.
00:44:00What's the problem?
00:44:02It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.
00:44:06I'm just curious how Kane plans to deal with his little bitch.
00:44:10All eyes turned to Kane.
00:44:12A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.
00:44:16I'll keep her.
00:44:18He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.
00:44:23She's just a pet I keep around.
00:44:25My only mate is Aria.
00:44:28He smirked faintly.
00:44:29But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.
00:44:33So I've kept it well hidden.
00:44:36Even after the mate bond, I won't let her find out.
00:44:41His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.
00:44:46Watch your mouths.
00:44:48If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.
00:44:52These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked them.
00:44:57If anything, they sounded amused.
00:45:00Kane's got it bad.
00:45:02Can't even let his little toy get exposed.
00:45:05Well, she can't shift.
00:45:07Figures she'd be fragile.
00:45:09Someone's eyes lit up.
00:45:11Curiosity getting the better of him.
00:45:14Kane, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at home?
00:45:23Kane chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.
00:45:27Of course.
00:45:29It's been wild.
00:45:32The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.
00:45:36Kane really knows how to play.
00:45:40A useless one like that?
00:45:42Easy to fool.
00:45:44Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.
00:45:49Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.
00:45:55Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.
00:45:59No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.
00:46:03My knuckles had gone white.
00:46:05No one knew.
00:46:06Three days ago, I had my awakening.
00:46:11And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.
00:46:15I would never complete a mate bond with Kane.
00:46:19On the day of the ceremony, the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.
00:46:25A fake one.
00:46:27Kane glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.
00:46:32My little wolf, why aren't you eating?
00:46:35I looked at him.
00:46:37At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern and forced a faint smile.
00:46:44What were you all talking about that got you so excited?
00:46:48Kane smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
00:46:53They were just saying they envy envy our bond.
00:46:56That will be the most devoted pair there is.
00:47:00Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.
00:47:04I caught every single one of them.
00:47:06The mockery.
00:47:07The cruelty.
00:47:08It burned.
00:47:11My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver.
00:47:14The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.
00:47:17They had been talking about him and that woman.
00:47:20Yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.
00:47:25Kane, I never realized you could lie so easily.
00:47:29I set my silver fork down and stood.
00:47:32I didn't want to hear another word of it.
00:47:35The moment I moved to leave, Kane was on his feet.
00:47:38A flicker of panic crossing his face.
00:47:42Little wolf, what's wrong?
00:47:44I shook my head.
00:47:46My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.
00:47:50I'm tired.
00:47:53I want to go back to the pack house.
00:47:55I didn't wait for his response.
00:47:57I turned and walked out.
00:48:00Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.
00:48:06A mating display was playing.
00:48:08Aria, be my mate.
00:48:11The words stretched across the center in bold impossible to miss letters.
00:48:17People passing by slowed down.
00:48:20Their voices full of envy.
00:48:24Oh my god, I heard Alpha Kane's girl can't shift so he rented the biggest screen in the city just
00:48:29so she could clearly see the words,
00:48:31Be my mate?
00:48:41I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.
00:48:49A week ago, I would have reacted the same way.
00:48:53I would have believed in Kane's love without question.
00:48:58I was born into a declining pack.
00:49:01From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.
00:49:06Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace.
00:49:09A failure.
00:49:12Kane entered my life under those circumstances.
00:49:15He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.
00:49:20But I had seen this kind of attention before.
00:49:23Cruel games disguised as affection.
00:49:27So I avoided him.
00:49:2999 times he confessed.
00:49:3299 times I turned him down.
00:49:35Until the night the silver hunters attacked, he threw himself over me without hesitation.
00:49:42Even when silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move.
00:49:46He held his position, shielding me with his body.
00:49:50When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.
00:49:57And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me, was reach out and gently touch my face.
00:50:04My little wolf, as long as you're safe.
00:50:07That was the moment everything changed.
00:50:10For the first time, I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking everything
00:50:17for.
00:50:18The walls around my heart cracked open for him.
00:50:22The wound from the silver never fully healed.
00:50:26It left behind a permanent circular scar.
00:50:28Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
00:50:35For five years, he never wavered.
00:50:38He treated me with the same devotion, the same care.
00:50:42As if I were the only one who mattered.
00:50:47Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground, and asked me to be his mate.
00:50:53And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real.
00:50:59Something more.
00:51:00I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the mate
00:51:07ritual.
00:51:07If it failed, I would have died.
00:51:11But I survived.
00:51:13Not only that, I gained something rare.
00:51:16Empathic sense.
00:51:18I decided to keep it a secret.
00:51:21I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
00:51:24But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart.
00:51:29Through that new ability, I sensed him.
00:51:32Kane.
00:51:34Talking to his beta pet.
00:51:35Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.
00:51:41That was when I learned the truth.
00:51:43He had already betrayed our bond.
00:51:46For an entire year.
00:51:48And I had known nothing.
00:51:51A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.
00:51:58His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again.
00:52:02Even with the mate ceremony approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship.
00:52:08Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?
00:52:13The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless.
00:52:17But my mind had never been clearer.
00:52:21I would show Kane the truth.
00:52:23Lies don't last forever.
00:52:25And I would never forgive betrayal.
00:52:28I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest.
00:52:32Just as I was about to head back, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
00:52:40Kane's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.
00:52:45It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to breathe.
00:52:49Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me?
00:52:52Are you in a bad mood today?
00:52:54Then let me take you to see your mate dress.
00:52:58The custom piece just arrived.
00:53:00He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to the back of my neck,
00:53:05gently stroking the spot where his marking remained.
00:53:11I don't feel like going.
00:53:13Just pick it yourself.
00:53:15I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.
00:53:19There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.
00:53:22Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone.
00:53:25His voice softened, almost cautious.
00:53:29Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?
00:53:34Do you not want to bond with me anymore?
00:53:37I looked at him, at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.
00:53:42I almost told him the truth.
00:53:45Yes, I don't want this anymore.
00:53:48You were the one who betrayed us first.
00:53:50You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.
00:53:53You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.
00:53:58And now you're asking me why?
00:54:00But I wasn't ready to expose everything, not yet.
00:54:05At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside,
00:54:09an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress prepared in advance.
00:54:14Miss, the gown Alpha Kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.
00:54:19Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.
00:54:22The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous.
00:54:27Moonstones were set into the bodice, casting a soft, sacred glow.
00:54:32Kane wrapped an arm around my waist.
00:54:34My little wolf, do you like it?
00:54:38I couldn't deny it.
00:54:40The design was exactly my taste.
00:54:42But no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't mend what had already been broken.
00:54:48Look closer, Kane said softly, at the center of the moonstone.
00:54:53I followed his gaze.
00:54:56Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.
00:54:59A and K, forever.
00:55:01The moon goddess is our witness.
00:55:05My love for you will last forever too.
00:55:08I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart.
00:55:13Then I turned to him and met his eyes.
00:55:16Eyes filled with something that looked like love.
00:55:20Will your love for me really last forever?
00:55:25A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.
00:55:30I, Kane, swear, swear that I will love Arya forever.
00:55:34For my entire life.
00:55:37If I break this oath, may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.
00:55:42Such a solemn vow.
00:55:45And yet, it couldn't warm a heart that had already gone cold.
00:55:50He had already broken it.
00:55:53And still, he kept acting.
00:55:55Didn't he get tired?
00:55:57I turned my face away, unwilling to look at him any longer.
00:56:02Kane seemed about to say something else.
00:56:04But his phone suddenly rang.
00:56:06His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer.
00:56:11When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.
00:56:17Little wolf, something urgent just came up.
00:56:19Go ahead and try the dress.
00:56:21If anything needs adjusting, just tell the staff.
00:56:24He left in a hurry.
00:56:26Not even waiting for a response.
00:56:29I watched his retreating figure.
00:56:32A bitter thought settling in.
00:56:34Kane had never walked away from me for pack business.
00:56:37And just before he left, I had caught it.
00:56:41That flicker in his eyes.
00:56:44Raw, instinctive desire.
00:56:47Work?
00:56:49Hardly.
00:56:50He was going to see her.
00:56:52When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.
00:56:57The slight dip in the mattress.
00:57:00The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla and lingering scent, thick with unmistakable desire.
00:57:06The thought hit me all at once.
00:57:09Kane and that beta had been here, on this bed.
00:57:13Entwined.
00:57:14My stomach twisted violently.
00:57:16I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop.
00:57:21Kane had just come back.
00:57:22The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.
00:57:28Little wolf, did you eat something bad?
00:57:30I'll call a healer right now.
00:57:34I grabbed his wrist.
00:57:36My eyes still red.
00:57:38I'm fine.
00:57:39I just thought of something disgusting.
00:57:43Kane dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
00:57:49Don't think about things like that.
00:57:52Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
00:57:56I looked down at him.
00:57:57At the open collar of his shirt.
00:58:00And the marks on his skin.
00:58:02Bite marks.
00:58:03Fresh.
00:58:04Obvious.
00:58:05Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.
00:58:09How strong did Kane have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body,
00:58:13and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?
00:58:18His voice grew sharper.
00:58:20More agitated.
00:58:22Who did this to you?
00:58:24Who made Maid?
00:58:25My little wolf like this.
00:58:28Tell me.
00:58:29I'll tear them apart.
00:58:31A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
00:58:35Kane.
00:58:36You're the one who did this to me.
00:58:39Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl.
00:58:45Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.
00:58:50But the bed was empty.
00:58:52I sat up and went downstairs.
00:58:54As I reached the second floor, I heard it.
00:58:58A woman's breathless voice.
00:59:01Soft, broken.
00:59:03I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest, then walked toward the guest room.
00:59:10The door was wide open.
00:59:13Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.
00:59:19Inside, Kane was bare from the waist up.
00:59:22The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.
00:59:25The long skirt pushed up to her waist.
00:59:28Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.
00:59:31Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck, her voice unsteady.
00:59:36Alpha, the dress I just got today.
00:59:40You already torn it.
00:59:42Kane let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
00:59:47You wore it for me, didn't you?
00:59:51I even had the designer make one just for you.
00:59:55So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?
00:59:59She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
01:00:04Alpha, I can't, I can't take ache anymore.
01:00:09Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
01:00:13What if Aria sees us?
01:00:15Kane stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
01:00:20She's useless.
01:00:21She doesn't understand anything.
01:00:23Don't you dare tell her about us.
01:00:26The beta traced circles against his chest, her tone soft, almost hurt.
01:00:31I know.
01:00:32I just...
01:00:34She's about to become your mate, and I'll always have to stay hidden.
01:00:40It makes me sad.
01:00:42Kane's expression softened slightly.
01:00:45You jealous little thing.
01:00:47I already brought you into this house.
01:00:50Isn't that enough?
01:00:51Don't worry.
01:00:53Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you.
01:00:56Whatever area has, you'll have too.
01:00:59Moonlight, lit up my face, where I stood outside the door.
01:01:04I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.
01:01:10Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades, carving wound after wound into my chest.
01:01:18I turned and ran, barefoot, straight out into the rain.
01:01:23Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.
01:01:27I just needed to get away, as far away as possible.
01:01:31Through the haze, I thought I saw him.
01:01:34A younger Kane.
01:01:36The one I had once loved.
01:01:38His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.
01:01:44Little Wolf, leave him.
01:01:48Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore, and never forgive him.
01:01:52My vision burned, as I looked at that memory.
01:01:56At the Alpha, I had once given my heart to.
01:02:00Okay.
01:02:01I whispered.
01:02:02I will leave you, and I will never forgive you.
01:02:08I will never forgive you.
