From Wolfless Princess to Alpha Heir

Short filmTranscript
00:00At the maid selection banquet, I waited alongside a dozen princesses from different packs to be chosen.
00:06I was princess of Silver Harbor Pack, but I had no wolf.
00:10I was a disgrace to my family.
00:13Rhett, heir of the Redwood Pack, was my childhood friend and the only one who'd ever pick me.
00:18Before the banquet started, he promised he'd choose me.
00:21I promised him I'd only ask for three years.
00:24After that, he could take whoever he wanted as his maid.
00:27But when the moment came, he smiled and placed the crown on Lily's head.
00:32A rogue omega he'd taken in.
00:34He leaned close to my ear and whispered,
00:37Let Lily have her moment tonight.
00:39She's never been happy a day in her life.
00:41Don't worry. With me around, no one would dare arrange your marriage.
00:44He took Lily's hand and walked her to the center of the banquet.
00:48Lily is elegant and noble. She deserves this.
00:52Noble. It made me the laughingstock of the entire night.
00:55After the crowd cleared, Rhett strolled over with a wine glass.
00:59These idiots. I told them to at least save you a crown.
01:03They can't even follow a simple order.
01:05I shocked.
01:07Do you even know what tonight's banquet means?
01:09The crown isn't just jewelry. It represents an alliance between two families.
01:14Without it, I'd be sent to mate with Blackmun's Alpha Kale.
01:16A cruel, ruthless wolf.
01:22Guilt flashed across Rhett's face. He sent Lily away.
01:25When have I ever not given you expensive gifts?
01:27But Lily's got nothing. This is the one time in her life.
01:30Just think of it as me thanking you on her behalf.
01:32I frowned.
01:33You can do whatever you want any other day.
01:36Why today?
01:37He cleared his throat awkwardly.
01:39It's her 18th birthday.
01:41It means she's officially part of Redwood now.
01:43I promised her one unforgettable memory of joining the pack.
01:47Funny. This memory's gonna be unforgettable for me too.
01:50Right. You know what tonight's ball.
01:51I didn't even finish before Lily came back over.
01:54Ivy, did I mess things up for you?
01:56Please don't blame Rhett. I begged him to do it.
01:59Rhett saw Lily shrinking into herself and his face darkened at me.
02:02Enough, Ivy. It's just a crown. I'll get you another one.
02:05He grabbed a flower wreath off a nearby table and dropped it on my head.
02:09Flowers suit you better.
02:10Why do you care this much about a crown?
02:12Doesn't sound like the carefree girl I know.
02:14The crown means the alpha heir's mate.
02:16A wreath?
02:17That's just a small thing between lovers.
02:19A petal fell from my head.
02:21Like mocking me.
02:22The laughter around me got louder.
02:24A princess with no wolf.
02:25Dreaming of becoming Redwood's future Luna.
02:27Didn't you hear Rai?
02:29Elegant and noble.
02:30Even a rogue Omega ranks above her.
02:34Ivy, I'm sorry.
02:36You're an alpha's daughter.
02:38You are noble.
02:39I just wanted one night of feeling special.
02:41I didn't mean for...
02:43Me?
02:44Noble?
02:44I'm a wolf-less?
02:45You have no idea how my family treats me?
02:48The little cake in Lily's hand slipped and landed on her shoe.
02:51Her eyes turned red instantly.
02:52A few tears squeezed out, all pitiful and wronged.
02:55Rhett frowned.
02:55Anyway, let her enjoy tonight.
02:57I'm taking her to change.
02:58You can head home if you want.
02:59Home?
03:00Where did I still have a home?
03:02A sketchy male wolf saw me alone and wandered over.
03:05He leaned in close, sniffing hard at my neck.
03:07Damn, Ivy.
03:09You smell good.
03:10Without Rhett, I couldn't even get basic respect.
03:12Ryle told me to give you the crown.
03:14I didn't listen.
03:15I've been telling you to stop chasing after him and tried me instead.
03:18But you never did.
03:19So how's it feel now?
03:20Humiliating, right?
03:21He was never gonna pick a wolf-less mate.
03:23I turned, shocked.
03:25Tears rolled down my face.
03:27The words hit me like a slut.
03:28All I needed was three years.
03:30Three years to get strong enough to break free from my family.
03:33When the wolf saw, I wouldn't even look at him.
03:35His hand landed on my shoulder.
03:37Ivy, if it weren't for your face, a wolf-less waste like you, I could do whatever I want with
03:42you.
03:42You really think Reeve's gonna protect you forever?
03:44That hand was about to pull me in.
03:46Then Rhett came back and sent him flying.
03:48Rhett said,
03:49You dare touch what's mine?
03:50The wolf spat.
03:51You already picked Lily.
03:53Why do you care what happens to Ivy?
03:55You dare question what I do?
03:57The wolf cursed under his breath and walked away.
04:01Lily rushed over too, looking worried.
04:03Ivy, are you okay?
04:04Rhett turned me around to face him.
04:06He touched you and you didn't fight back?
04:08I can't protect you forever.
04:10I opened my mouth to speak, but Lily grabbed Rhett's arm.
04:13Right, I want a drink. Can you get me one?
04:15Rhett said,
04:16Sure. You're tonight, Star. Wait here.
04:18The second Rhett left, Lily's face changed.
04:22You already have everything. You want to take this one bit of glory from me too?
04:26Ivy?
04:27I just need Rhett's protection for one night, so no one bullies me after I join the pack.
04:31Like I'm any better off than her?
04:33No wolf.
04:34No one in my family cares if I live or die.
04:37I learned to read the room when I was still a kid.
04:39If it weren't for this face, I wouldn't have survived this long.
04:42I found my way to Uncle Dorian, got on my knees, and begged him to train me.
04:46Back me, he said.
04:48Your father has plenty of powerful children. Why would I bet on a wolfless girl to be the next heir?
04:53I said,
04:54Because I have nothing to lose. Not afraid to die trying.
04:58But now, the timing's not right. Dorian won't help me yet.
05:02Black Moon was the strongest pack in the North.
05:04My family didn't want to offend them and didn't want to send my stronger sisters.
05:08So they sent me.
05:12Uncle Dorian must have heard what happened.
05:14He sent me a message.
05:16I hugged myself, shaking from the cold.
05:18Lily touched my freezing hand.
05:20You guessed does Rhett actually know what that crown means?
05:22I found Rhett.
05:23Asked him straight up.
05:25Do you know what your crown means?
05:26Yeah. Picking a mate, right?
05:28It's just a formality. No one got marked.
05:31Don't worry. I'll talk to your dad.
05:34I won't let them arrange a mate for you.
05:36Then can you get the crown back from Lily?
05:38Lily? I just need it for one night. I'll return it.
05:41Rhett looked surprised. Then uncomfortable.
05:43That's not great. I already gave it to her.
05:46Right. You know I won't cling to you. I have someone I like.
05:49You're free after three years. Why are you humiliating me like this?
05:52His smile disappeared.
05:54He backed me into a corner.
05:55Dead serious.
05:56Ivy.
05:56Ivy. No one else will ever choose you as a mate. I'm all you've got. You can only like me.
06:02Lily walked over. Rhett pulled her into his arms.
06:04Ivy. Just one night. Don't be too willful. Tomorrow she officially joins Redwood and goes on with her life.
06:09I left the banquet. Got into the car Dorian sent for me. Inside, Dorian sat in all black, cold as
06:16ice. Not a hint of a smile.
06:18It's done. Tomorrow you go to Black Moon Pack. What happens after that is on you.
06:21I'll come back. Dorian said.
06:24I'll see.
06:25I got home. The door was locked. Only my sister Sansa stood outside, looking down at me.
06:31If I were you, I wouldn't have shown up tonight just to embarrass myself.
06:34Mom says there's no reason for you to come home. You can't take anything valuable, not even that dress.
06:39She threw my suitcase at my feet. Just a few old clothes inside.
06:42I stripped off the gown right in front of her. Took off every piece of jewelry. Turned and walked away.
06:48Behind me, I heard her say,
06:49Oh! Mom says Black Moon's alpha has a true love. Good luck with that.
06:58Early the next morning, I boarded a flight to Black Moon. I scrolled through my phone.
07:03Every headline was about Rhett choosing Lily as his mate. A few she-wolves behind me were buzzing with excitement.
07:08I heard Rhett had a childhood sweetheart. A wolf princess. Didn't expect him to pick an Omega.
07:14Lucky one. All the same anyway. That princess doesn't even have a wolf. No way the future Luna can be
07:20wolf-less.
07:20I listened quietly, but my heart stayed calm. Soon, none of this would have anything to do with me anymore.
07:26As the plane slowly taxied down the runway, I looked out the window. Then suddenly, it stopped.
07:31A group of wolves had surrounded the aircraft outside. I pulled out my phone and saw a message from Dorian.
07:37Rhett had gone to Silver Harbor looking for me, only to find out I was gone.
07:41After questioning the servants, he learned I had already left for Black Moon.
07:45He flew into a rage and brought his men to the airport to stop me.
07:49Another message popped up.
07:51Are you coming back? Rhett still wants to choose you as his partner.
07:54Rhett spoiled me.
07:55Yes, but he would never damage the interests of the Redwood pack for my sake.
07:58If I went back, all I would get were cold stares and ridicule.
08:02And maybe Black Moon wasn't my only dead end.
08:04I let out a quiet sigh and stepped off the plane.
08:12After getting off the plane, I saw Rhett standing outside with a dark expression.
08:17He strode toward me and grabbed my wrist.
08:19Ivy, come with me.
08:22Just as I was about to speak, another plane landed.
08:25Several tall wolves stepped off and walked straight toward me.
08:28Miss Ivy, I'm Alex. Alpha Kale sent us to pick you up.
08:32He turned to Rhett.
08:33Alpha hair of the Redwood pack, we're here to bring Miss Ivy back.
08:37Please step aside.
08:38Rhett's eyes turned cold.
08:40Who dares take my woman away?
08:42A few shoe wolves standing near the cabin door started whispering excitedly.
08:45Didn't Reel choose Lily as his mate?
08:48Don't tell me he regrets it now.
08:49That kind of love is seriously enviable.
08:52If a man chased me like that, I'd say yes immediately.
08:55Rhett stared at me.
08:56Your family is sending you to Alpha Kale for a political mating alliance.
09:00Why didn't you tell me?
09:02I felt helpless.
09:03I had tried more than once to tell him.
09:05But all his attention had been on Lily.
09:08Ryke, you protected me for so many years.
09:10I'm grateful for that.
09:12Things turned out this way, but I don't blame anyone.
09:18You don't blame anyone?
09:20If that's true, then come back with me.
09:22I'll talk to your father.
09:24I'll choose you as my mate.
09:26I looked up at him.
09:27Rain fell from the dark sky.
09:29His hair was messy, and his eyes were red with panic.
09:33I had never seen him look this miserable before.
09:36Alex stepped in front of me, doing his job without hesitation.
09:40The time we gave Silver Harbor is over.
09:43Today, Miss Ivy is leaving with us.
09:45Rhett ignored him completely.
09:46His eyes stayed fixed on me.
09:48I slowly shook my head.
09:50Ryke, I already told you.
09:52I only wanted our three-year agreement.
09:54I have someone I like.
09:56I never planned to become your mate.
09:58That line again?
09:59He frowned.
09:59You grew up in Silver Harbor.
10:01Who could you possibly like?
10:03I know you hated it when others called you my little tail.
10:06Stop being stubborn.
10:08Come back with me first.
10:09Without realizing it, his voice turned pleading.
10:12I was grateful to him.
10:13But the moment Rhett placed the crown on Lily's head,
10:16it already meant there was no future left for us.
10:22Rhylt, Lily is your mate now.
10:24Everyone already knows it.
10:26You two should live well together.
10:29Rhett Redwood let out a cold laugh.
10:31Who would choose a rogue Omega as mate?
10:33Are you joking?
10:34Even if I picked you, it would never be her.
10:37My eyes dimmed.
10:39All these years, Rhett liked me, but he never truly respected me.
10:43This time, I left without hesitation.
10:45I followed Alex toward the private jet belonging to Black Moon.
10:49Rhett stood behind me, fury burning in his eyes.
10:53Ivy, think carefully.
10:54Once you go to Black Moon, no one will protect you anymore.
10:57Do you really not want to be my mate?
11:01If you leave now, don't regret it later.
11:04I didn't answer him.
11:05I turned around and boarded the plane.
11:08Alex had thoughtfully prepared clean clothes for me.
11:10He pointed toward the lounge inside the cabin and lowered his voice.
11:14You can rest in there for a while.
11:15You're going to get sick out in the rain.
11:17The aircraft was incredibly luxurious.
11:19It had been custom made.
11:24The lounge didn't just have a bed.
11:26There were fresh clothes prepared too.
11:28The room's decoration clearly didn't look like Kale's style.
11:31I changed into the clothes and froze again.
11:34They were exactly my size.
11:35After changing, I walked out of the lounge.
11:39Excuse me, does Alpha Kale usually use this plane?
11:42Alex immediately noticed my confusion.
11:44This aircraft was specially prepared for you by Alpha Kale.
11:48Everything was designed around your preferences.
11:50He personally chose all the items inside too.
11:53The materials are the softest and most comfortable available.
11:56I almost dropped my jaw.
11:59Something this luxurious had been casually given to a complete stranger.
12:03Wasn't he supposed to already have someone he liked?
12:05Then why treat an arranged marriage mate with no value this well?
12:09The trip to Black Moon will take a while.
12:11Alex said softly.
12:12You should get some rest first.
12:16No one had ever cared about my feelings before.
12:19I was always the one watching others' moods, trying to please them.
12:22So this sudden kindness only made me nervous.
12:25Alex seemed to notice my discomfort and quietly left the lounge.
12:29I took out a pen and wrote my thoughts on paper.
12:31I only had worries about the unknown.
12:33The plane finally landed on a wide stretch of green land.
12:37Only after stepping off did I realize this was the Alpha House of Black Moon.
12:40Even coming from an Alpha family myself, I had never seen a place this luxurious.
12:45Kale personally came to pick me up.
12:47He wore a gentle smile.
12:49Nothing like the cold and ruthless man from the rumors.
12:52He draped a coat over my shoulders.
12:54His voice low and smooth.
12:55Are you cold?
12:56I shivered slightly and stepped back with hesitation.
13:00Alpha, I know you already have someone you like, and I know what my position is here.
13:04But I beg you, give me three years.
13:06During those three years, I'll do whatever you ask me to do.
13:09After that, please let me leave.
13:11Kale frowned a little, like he didn't understand what I meant.
13:18Someone I like?
13:19Three years?
13:22Yes.
13:23Give me three years.
13:24I nodded quickly.
13:26I'll be a good Luna.
13:28I'll do anything you ask.
13:30After three years, just let me leave.
13:33Kale frowned even harder.
13:35When he looked toward Alex, there was clear questioning in his eyes.
13:38But after getting no answer, he stepped closer instead and pulled me halfway into his arms.
13:44My whole face instantly turned red.
13:47Who told you we were keeping things this separate, my mate?
13:51Seeing me completely frozen, he seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
13:54He lifted my chin and leaned even closer.
13:58You are my only mate.
14:00Even after entering the room, I still hadn't recovered from the shock.
14:04Wasn't he supposed to be ruthless and terrifying?
14:10Kale's house was filled with sharp lines and minimalist furniture.
14:14Everything looked clean, cold, and efficient.
14:16But mixed in were a few colorful decorations that were obviously newly added.
14:21I sat on the couch, still unable to process everything.
14:24Flat Moon had already become the strongest pack in the entire werewolf world because of
14:29its overwhelming power.
14:30Kale didn't need a political mating alliance to strengthen his position.
14:33And why would he choose someone like me?
14:35A wolfless she-wolf with no value at all?
14:37After hesitating for a moment, I handed him a piece of paper.
14:41This is my plan.
14:42Please take a look.
14:43I also want to borrow some money.
14:45I'll pay you back in the future.
14:47He pulled the paper from my hand and glanced over it casually.
14:50You need money?
14:51There was no way I could pretend otherwise.
14:53I was an alpha's daughter.
14:55Yet I arrived at Black Moon with almost nothing.
14:57I pressed my lips together and answered quietly.
15:00Yes, I don't have any money right now.
15:02But don't worry, I'll find a way to pay you back.
15:04He didn't question me.
15:06Instead, his large hand wrapped around my cold fingers and gently rubbed warmth back
15:12into them.
15:17My face turned red again.
15:19And somehow, Kale looked even happier because of it.
15:22What do you need money for?
15:24I froze and looked up at him.
15:26Only then did I realize something.
15:28Maybe the Luna of Black Moon didn't control any finances.
15:32Asking him for money, this directly might have been too much.
15:35I straightened up and spoke seriously.
15:37Alpha, I don't want my life controlled by my family forever.
15:40I definitely don't want to become someone who depends on others for everything.
15:44I want my own career.
15:45And if possible, I want what rightfully belongs to me in my pack.
15:49Kale seemed surprised that I spoke so honestly.
15:52Then he gently rubbed my hair, his eyes full of indulgence.
15:56Everything in Black Moon belongs to you.
15:57Under my stunned gaze, he told Alex to bring over a bank card.
16:01This is my personal card.
16:03Spend whatever you want.
16:04The room Kale arranged for me was the best suite in the entire Alpha house.
16:08Sunlight poured through the windows, and the room was beautifully decorated.
16:13As a so-called princess who had always been treated like an outsider in Silver Harbor,
16:17I was completely stunned.
16:22For once, I actually slept well.
16:25The next morning, the first message I received was from Dorian.
16:29Red Redwood was furious.
16:31Why didn't you come back with him?
16:33Dorian was the only one in Silver Harbor who had ever supported me.
16:37But he wasn't truly on my side.
16:39It was always calculation behind his words.
16:42I replied simply,
16:43Dorian, I'm not a pet you can call back whenever you want.
16:46Then he sent back coldly,
16:48Oh, I thought you already saw yourself as a tool for power games.
16:52I didn't respond after that.
16:54I only ever borrowed 1 million from Kale.
16:56And I did my job as Luna properly.
16:59I attended every banquet with him,
17:01standing at his side while others admired and flattered me.
17:05Even though Kale spoiled me endlessly,
17:07I never forgot my own position.
17:09Quietly, over those three years,
17:11I used that money to build my own power base in the Southern Territories.
17:15Step by Step
17:16Without anyone noticing
17:21On one side,
17:23I used influence to slowly weaken the power of Silver Harbor.
17:27On the other,
17:28I blocked their attempts to form alliances with other packs.
17:31Bit by bit,
17:33I made my father realize something.
17:35All his children were useless.
17:37My older brothers and sisters tried everything they could.
17:40They used every skill they had.
17:42But none of them could save Silver Harbor's declining power.
17:46The pack members grew more and more restless.
17:49Complaints spread everywhere.
17:51In the end,
17:52all my siblings lost their rights to be heirs.
17:54Only then did I finally feel a breath of relief.
17:57It was already 10pm when I got home.
18:00Kale was sitting under the warm light,
18:02waiting for me.
18:03Something in my chest softened.
18:05I walked over to the sofa without thinking and wrapped my arms around his solid back.
18:13After I held him for a while,
18:14I finally let go and calmed down.
18:17Kale said,
18:18Why are you back some late?
18:19You tired?
18:21I made you soup.
18:22I was about to explain,
18:23but the words stopped in my throat.
18:26Kale took my hand and led me to the table.
18:28He made sure I drank the soup himself.
18:31Kale said,
18:31When are you going to try?
18:33Relying on me a little?
18:35You don't have to push yourself this hard.
18:37I looked at him under the warm light.
18:39He was serious,
18:40and it made me feel a little guilty.
18:42My three-year agreement is up.
18:44I should go back where I originally belong, right?
18:46Kale didn't look surprised.
18:48It was like he already expected this.
18:50You still like Silver Harbor.
18:51I know Dorian has been supporting you,
18:54and that Wright has come looking for you several times.
18:56But you didn't see him.
18:58I was a little shocked.
18:59He knew everything,
19:00but he never said a word about it.
19:05Dorian was just using me.
19:07He thought if I became heir,
19:09he control me
19:10and take over the whole pack through me.
19:12And Wright,
19:13the day I left,
19:14we were already done.
19:16There was no way back.
19:17Kale looked at me and asked,
19:18Then why do you still want to go back?
19:20I answered,
19:21I have enough now.
19:22I can take back what belongs to me.
19:24I'll return your money ten times over.
19:26I sounded calm,
19:28but my chest felt tight.
19:29These three years in Black Moon,
19:31I had actually been happy,
19:33more than I ever expected.
19:35And without even realizing it,
19:37my feelings had already started to lean toward him.
19:40But every time I thought about it,
19:42I reminded myself he had someone he liked.
19:44I didn't want to be the one stuck waiting.
19:47I said quietly,
19:48Kale,
19:49I've always known you have someone you like.
19:52Actually, I do too.
19:53He raised a brow.
19:55So you never opened up to me,
19:56because you thought I loved someone else?
19:58He leaned back slightly.
20:00Can I ask you something?
20:01Who is the person you like?
20:03I went silent.
20:04That memory felt so far away now,
20:06so far that even I wasn't sure anymore.
20:08Did that person even really exist?
20:13When I was a kid,
20:14I went out with my brothers and sisters.
20:17They left me behind on the street.
20:19A little boy took me home.
20:20He even gave me food.
20:22I only remember he said he came from the north.
20:25I never knew who he really was.
20:27It was the first time someone was kind to me.
20:29I always wanted to repay that kindness.
20:32I paused,
20:32then kept going.
20:34Honestly, Kale,
20:34I've hesitated many times.
20:36I like it here,
20:37but I've been abandoned too many times.
20:39If I know someone doesn't belong to me,
20:41I won't let myself fall into dependence again.
20:44As I spoke,
20:45Kale's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
20:47There was something intense in his gaze.
20:48He took my hand into his palm and pulled me closer,
20:51until our noses almost touched.
20:53Ivy,
20:54how do you know?
20:55The person I like isn't you.
20:56That night on the street,
20:58there was a little she-wolf said
20:59she'd become my mate just for a meal.
21:01I never forgot her.
21:03It felt like lightning struck me.
21:04The person I had been searching for all these years,
21:07was right in front of me.
21:08A huge wave of happiness hit me so hard.
21:11I didn't even notice when his lips had already pressed against mine.
21:15The space between us disappeared.
21:17The warmth kept rising.
21:18And at some point,
21:19there was no distance left at all.
21:21My mate was the one I had been looking for all this time.
21:24Tears slipped down my face,
21:25full of relief and gratitude.
21:31A few days later,
21:33a Northern Territory pack hosted a large banquet.
21:36Both the Silver Harbor pack and the Redwood pack arrived.
21:40A beta from Silver Harbor came straight to the Black Moon side.
21:43When he saw me,
21:45his attitude was still the same cold and superior.
21:54I didn't even look at him.
21:56I just kept arranging the flowers in my hand.
21:58He stepped forward,
22:00trying to grab me.
22:01What are you acting so proud for?
22:03Don't forget who fed you when you were a kid.
22:06A low voice cut in.
22:08Is that so?
22:10Kale stood behind me.
22:11His tone was ice cold.
22:13I didn't know a beta
22:14had the guts to touch my mate.
22:17His hand slid naturally to my waist,
22:20pulling me closer.
22:27Someone like you
22:28dares to lay a hand on my mate?
22:32You really think this is a joke?
22:35That beta who used to bully me since childhood
22:37ended up with a broken leg.
22:39He was dragged back to my father,
22:41coughing blood.
22:42Only then did my father realize
22:44I was no longer the weak daughter he remembered.
22:46On the day of the banquet,
22:48all the Alpha families from different packs
22:50gathered together.
22:51My father noticed that
22:53everyone was only going up to greet Kale.
22:56He came and said,
22:57Alpha Kale,
22:59are you satisfied with Ivy?
23:00The crowd slowly parted.
23:02People turned to look at my father.
23:04He thought the Alpha of the Southern Territory
23:06still had influence here in the North.
23:07But no one reacted.
23:09They just exchanged confused
23:10looks no one even recognized.
23:11My mother, as usual,
23:14looked unhappy and cold.
23:19Ivy,
23:20your parents are here.
23:21You don't even know how to greet?
23:23You've barely contacted the family
23:25all these years.
23:26Others might think Silver Harbor
23:27has no rules at all.
23:29Kale's wine glass hit the table with a sharp sound.
23:32The entire hall went quiet.
23:34All the probing eyes immediately turned alert.
23:37That was his warning.
23:38They were not welcome.
23:39My father's expression changed instantly.
23:41Only then did he realize something was wrong.
23:44Silver Harbor's power had been weakening in the South recently.
23:46Their resources had already been taken by a small company.
23:49They were desperate for alliances and resources.
23:52Only now did they remember me.
23:53They thought this marriage was their chance.
23:55If they had lowered their pride and asked properly,
23:57there might still have been a way forward.
23:59But my father had always been an Alpha who never bent his head.
24:02So he couldn't ask for help.
24:04When the banquet ended,
24:05my family left in low spirits.
24:08My mother, especially,
24:09kept mocking me during the dinner,
24:11implying I only became Kale's Luna by stealing from my sisters.
24:19I walked out of the banquet hall.
24:21Someone suddenly stepped in behind me and blocked my path.
24:25You talk about the person you like,
24:26but where is he now?
24:28Rat Redwood said coldly.
24:29You refuse to come back with me.
24:31And now that you're a Luna,
24:33you've changed your story?
24:34It had been a long time since I last saw him.
24:37He looked darker,
24:38more unstable.
24:39His eyes froze on the expensive jewelry around my neck.
24:43I sighed.
24:44Reet, I'm grateful you protected me all those years.
24:46But you were the one who didn't choose me back then.
24:49You don't need to mock me now.
24:50The person I dislike is right here with me.
24:53He said sharply.
24:54So what about everything between us?
24:56All those years we knew each other?
24:57I always wanted you to be my mate.
25:00I said.
25:01Then what about Lily?
25:02Lily, wasn't she the one you chose?
25:03Everyone saw it at that banquet.
25:05You made your choice.
25:07Back then, the Redwood pack didn't fully accept a Rogue Omega.
25:10But in the end, everyone just assumed she was his mate.
25:17Lily had even publicly claimed to be Kale's mate multiple times, becoming a joke.
25:23Now she was locked away, unable to appear in public at all.
25:27Rhett was about to speak again when Dorian stepped out from the side.
25:30But Dorian said coldly.
25:32What do you even mean?
25:33She was trained by me.
25:35And now she's grown so ambitious.
25:37I only just realized it.
25:39He walked closer.
25:40The biggest mistake I made was letting you go.
25:44I gave you enough freedom to build power against Silver Harbor.
25:48You're sharp.
25:49You really are the best among all Alpha children.
25:52If only you weren't born wolf-less.
25:55His sigh echoed through the night, a sigh that also revealed his regret at the breakdown of
26:00our alliance of interests.
26:01That winter, Silver Harbor fell into chaos.
26:05A few ambitious elders secretly poisoned my father.
26:08His wolf power was damaged.
26:11And he was forced to stay in bed, unable to get up.
26:16Only my mother was left, trying to hold the image of the Alpha family together, along with
26:21a few useless brothers and sisters.
26:23They sent someone to track down the leader of that small company.
26:28That was when I came back to Silver Harbor again.
26:31It had been years.
26:32But nothing here had changed.
26:34When I was young, I thought the outside world was full of strong and ruthless wolves.
26:39I thought staying home meant at least having food to eat.
26:42But after I left, I finally understood.
26:45All the hardship had always come from home.
26:48I stepped inside and saw my father.
26:50He was lying in bed, weak and pale.
26:52My mother was feeding him medicine, forcing it into his mouth.
26:57When he saw me, he suddenly struggled up and pointed at me.
27:00Ivy, Ivy is back.
27:03She's now the Luna of Black Moon Pack.
27:05With Black Moon behind her, who would dare touch us now?
27:09I covered my mouth with a handkerchief, swallowing the nausea rising in my throat.
27:18I came back to tell you something.
27:20Announce me as the next Alpha Hare.
27:22I'll handle everything else.
27:24What?
27:24My father's voice sharpened.
27:26You dare?
27:27You're a wolf-less failure.
27:29You can't be the Alpha Hare.
27:30I looked at him and smiled a little.
27:32I forgot to mention something.
27:33All of Silver Harbor's resources are already under my control.
27:36The title of Alpha is just a formality now.
27:39I didn't just want the resources.
27:41I wanted the Alpha seat too.
27:43When I walked out, I was already the designated heir.
27:45Even now, I still remember the shock in my father's eyes when he learned the truth.
27:49That company leader was you?
27:52Yes.
27:53I met his gaze.
27:54Did you not know?
27:55My wolf has already awakened.
27:59With Kale behind me, everything moved faster than expected.
28:02I stood in front of everyone and officially announced myself as the next Alpha of Silver Harbor.
28:07From that moment on, I was no longer the wolf-less princess they used to laugh at.
28:12I was not only the Luna of Black Moon, I was also the Alpha heir of Silver Harbor.
28:17And for the first time, everyone looked at me with full respect.
