00:00:00The Alpha Heir could never bond with a human girl
00:00:02The Northern Pack had one unbreakable rule
00:00:05The Alpha Heir could never bond with a human girl
00:00:07Despite that, Alpha Kieran Wolf still formed a mate bond with me
00:00:11To be with me, he openly defied the Elder's Council
00:00:14He endured 99 lashes and was forced to kneel at the altar for 3 days and nights
00:00:20Even as blood soaked through his shirt, he smiled at me and said
00:00:24Elise, don't be afraid, I only want you
00:00:28Eventually, the Elder's Council finally relented and agreed to let Kieran leave with me
00:00:33However, there was one condition
00:00:35He had to leave a pure-blood heir behind for the pack
00:00:38From that moment on, the phrase I heard most from Kieran was
00:00:42Wait
00:00:43The first time, Kieran asked me to wait while he got another she-wolf to carry his pup
00:00:48He slept with Cecilia Donati 33 times until she was carrying his pup
00:00:53The second time, he told me to wait again because the first pup was a female
00:00:57And the elders wanted a male
00:01:00So, Kieran slept with Cecilia 99 more times until she was carrying his pup again
00:01:05Just when I thought our ordeal was finally over
00:01:07Their daughter, Tyra Wolf, accidentally ate Wolfsbane at her Meet the Pup party
00:01:12Everyone was convinced I had poisoned her
00:01:15When they threw me into the freezing cold storage room
00:01:17Kieran stood at the doorway with bloodshot eyes
00:01:20I told you to wait
00:01:22You know what wolf hate means to our kind
00:01:26Why would you hurt my pup?
00:01:27My fingernails dug deep into my palms as the pain tore through me
00:01:31When the storage room door opened again, I loosened my bloodied hands
00:01:35This time, I was not going to wait anymore
00:01:41I pushed open the heavy doors of the elders' council
00:01:43Forcing myself to keep my voice steady
00:01:46I said, I'm willing to leave Kieran Wolse
00:01:49But I have one condition
00:01:51I want you to send me somewhere he'll never find me
00:01:54Elder Lucian Pierce let out a satisfied laugh
00:01:57If only you had been this sensible sooner
00:01:59Spending one night in the cold storage truly showed you your place
00:02:03A human like you was never worthy of our noble alpha bloodline
00:02:08His voice dripped with contempt as he said
00:02:10On the night of the full moon in ten days
00:02:13We'll arrange everything to send you away
00:02:16And when that time comes
00:02:17You'd better never show your face in front of Kaiman again
00:02:20The heavy doors slammed shut abruptly
00:02:22And I leaned against the mansion's cold wall
00:02:25In the main hall, Kieran had shifted into his massive wolf form
00:02:29And was gently letting his daughter, Tyra Wolf, tug at his thick fur
00:02:33Cecilia was curled against his warm belly
00:02:36Smiling with tender satisfaction
00:02:38The perfect family of three looked so blissfully happy together
00:02:41Cecilia Donati noticed me first
00:02:44And immediately sat up with alert eyes
00:02:46She instinctively pulled Tyra behind her protectively
00:02:49Mrs. George, you're back
00:02:52Kieran almost reflexively shifted back to human form
00:02:55And handed Tyra to a servant to take upstairs
00:02:58Their wary looks cut into me like knives
00:03:01I'll only acknowledge pups that come from your belly
00:03:04Now watched me like I was a murderer
00:03:09After Tyra was taken away, Kieran approached and reached out to check my frostbitten body
00:03:13You're back
00:03:15Did you get hurt in the cold storage?
00:03:17As I looked at this man who had once taken 99 lashes for me
00:03:21My heart ached with bitterness as I turned away from his touch
00:03:25He frowned slightly
00:03:26Elise George, given last night's situation
00:03:30The more I defended you, the harsher the Elder's punishment would have been
00:03:34With your human body, they might have even executed you
00:03:37We're leaving soon anyway, and I don't want any more complications
00:03:41Also, Tyra is innocent
00:03:44Why would you-
00:03:45I told you it wasn't me!
00:03:47I growled, my eyes burning with tears
00:03:49Wolf bath is a deadly poison
00:03:52How could I possibly use something like that to hurt anyone?
00:03:55Kieran seemed startled by my intense reaction
00:03:58And paused before softening his tone
00:04:00Alright, fine
00:04:01It doesn't matter now
00:04:04Tyra is fine now
00:04:05His dismissive words felt like ice picks stabbing into my heart
00:04:09He still did not believe me
00:04:10Just as the atmosphere grew tense
00:04:12Cecilia approached while rubbing her slightly rounded belly
00:04:15Mrs. George, I owe you an apology too
00:04:18I was too panicked at the time
00:04:20You're not a wolf
00:04:21So you probably don't understand a mother's instinct to protect her pup
00:04:25She raised her hand to brush her hair back
00:04:27And the delicate crystal bracelet on her wrist glowed with a soft luster
00:04:30My eyes widened as I grabbed her wrist
00:04:33Where did you get this bracelet?
00:04:36I gave it to her
00:04:37Cecilia likes antique pieces
00:04:40I looked at Kieran with deep disappointment
00:04:42My heart aching as if it were being cut by a knife
00:04:46It was you
00:04:49Kieran said matter-of-factly as he pulled my hand away
00:04:52Consider it your apology gift to her
00:04:54Besides, it's just a bracelet
00:04:56My voice trembled with rage
00:04:58This is the only thing my mother left me
00:05:01How could you give it away?
00:05:03You know how much it means to me
00:05:05I reached to snatch the bracelet back
00:05:07But Cecilia suddenly staggered backward
00:05:09And clutched her stomach in apparent pain
00:05:11She moaned weakly
00:05:13My belly
00:05:14Kieran immediately shoved me away roughly
00:05:17His eyes turning frighteningly cold
00:05:19Elise!
00:05:21She's carrying my pup!
00:05:23He was so strong that I crashed hard into the bookshelf behind me
00:05:26Haven't you caused enough trouble?
00:05:28My head struck against it heavily
00:05:30And warm blood immediately began trickling down my neck
00:05:33Yet, Kieran did not even look back
00:05:36As he swept Cecilia into his arms and rushed out
00:05:39Kieran
00:05:41Cecilia sobbed weakly against his chest
00:05:44Will our pup be okay?
00:05:47Don't be afraid
00:05:49I'm here
00:05:50He replied
00:05:50His voice tenderly reassuring
00:05:53Each word piercing my ears
00:05:55You'll be fine
00:05:56And so will the pup
00:05:57When Kieran carried Cecilia out of the mansion
00:05:59I was still slumped on the floor with blood trickling down my neck from the back of my head
00:06:04I watched his retreating figure
00:06:06So urgent
00:06:07And panicked
00:06:08Yet
00:06:09He never looked back once
00:06:12I looked down at the pool of blood beneath me and suddenly laughed
00:06:16And the sound was bleak
00:06:18Later I took a carriage to the hospital
00:06:20Alone
00:06:21The doctor saw how severe my injury was
00:06:23And immediately began stitching and bandaging the wound
00:06:26By the time they finished treating me
00:06:28I had lost so much blood that I was dizzy
00:06:30And could barely stand
00:06:31I had just stumbled out of the examination room
00:06:34When someone grabbed my wrist roughly
00:06:37Elise
00:06:37Cecilia almost miscarried
00:06:40Yet you still wouldn't stop
00:06:42You followed us to the hospital
00:06:44To cause more trouble
00:06:46Kieran's voice was tight with rage
00:06:48His brow was furrowed deeply
00:06:49And his eyes held a bone-chilling coldness
00:06:52He still carried Cecilia's suffocating perfume scent on his clothes
00:06:56I came to the hospital
00:06:57But not for her
00:06:59I pointed to my freshly bandaged forehead
00:07:01I was injured too
00:07:03And I couldn't treat it myself
00:07:04Kieran's expression froze
00:07:06He finally noticed the strong scent of blood on me
00:07:09Masked by antiseptic
00:07:11And the thick gore still seeping red
00:07:17Kieran's pupils contracted as he replied to me
00:07:20I said, looking at him as my nose began to sting
00:07:23But now, do you even see me anymore?
00:07:26Kieran's frown deepened as he reached out tenderly to touch my wound
00:07:29What happened here?
00:07:31You pushed me
00:07:32I said calmly
00:07:33Dodging his touch
00:07:34I hit the bookshelves
00:07:38To you, it was just a casual shove, wasn't it?
00:07:41Kieran's pupils contracted as he recalled the force he had used in his moment of rage
00:07:45For a human, it could have been fatal
00:07:48He pulled me into his arms guiltily
00:07:50Elise, I'm sorry
00:07:51I didn't mean to
00:07:53I was just afraid something would happen to Cecilia
00:07:55She's carrying the pack's future
00:07:57If anything went wrong, the Elder's Council would never forgive us
00:08:00And our departure would be delayed again
00:08:02I let him hold me while staring blankly at the sterile white ceiling
00:08:06I had heard these excuses too many times before
00:08:08I understand
00:08:10I said, pushing him away
00:08:12Go take care of her
00:08:13I turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist again
00:08:15Elise, no matter what
00:08:18You have to believe
00:08:19That I only love you
00:08:21Everything I do is to help us escape this prison
00:08:24As quickly as possible
00:08:25Kieran released my hand and, as he walked away, said
00:08:29When I get home, I'll bring you your favorite cranberry cupcakes
00:08:33With that, he headed toward the private healing chamber at the end of the corridor
00:08:37Where Cecilia was being cared for by the pack's finest healers
00:08:41I stood there, watching him disappear into the distance
00:08:44Suddenly, I laughed, and tears began streaming down my face
00:08:47I don't believe you anymore
00:08:49I whispered to the empty air
00:08:51And to my own dying heart
00:08:52Kieran
00:08:53I will never believe any of your promises ever again
00:09:01Kieran was gone for three days straight
00:09:03During those three days
00:09:04Cecilia sent me taunting letters every single day
00:09:09Cecilia
00:09:09What the hell do you want from me?
00:09:12My voice shaking with barely contained rage
00:09:14I could almost hear her soft, mocking laugh through the ink
00:09:17Oh, nothing much
00:09:19I just thought you should see how happy your husband is without you
00:09:21Three days
00:09:22And he hasn't even mentioned your name once
00:09:24The letter ended there abruptly
00:09:26In my mind's eye, I saw Kieran gently coaxing Tyra with toys
00:09:31While Cecilia leaned intimately against his shoulder
00:09:33Smiling sweetly as she watched the father-daughter interaction
00:09:37I endured the heartache and read every letter she sent
00:09:40She wrote about him keeping watch by her hospital bed deep into the night
00:09:44Feeding her soup and holding Tyra with nothing but adoration in his eyes
00:09:49Each word felt like a needle piercing my heart
00:09:52The pain kept coming until suddenly I realized I could not feel it anymore
00:09:56Perhaps my heart had already died the moment I was locked in that ice cell
00:10:00I was about to burn her letters when a servant brought another package
00:10:03Inside was a sketch of my mom's crystal bracelet being toyed with in Cecilia's hands
00:10:07Want your mother's keep-sake?
00:10:09Then come get it
00:10:12I shot to my feet so fast
00:10:14That my vision went black from the lingering blood loss
00:10:17Yet, I did not care
00:10:19I grabbed my coat and rushed out
00:10:22In the hospital room, Cecilia was holding Tyra and humming a lullaby softly
00:10:27Daddy loves you the most, doesn't he?
00:10:30Daddy's alpha power will be passed down to you someday
00:10:33She looked up when she saw me, her smile deepening
00:10:37You came
00:10:37Did you know that during my stay here, Kieran hasn't even gone on his territory patrols?
00:10:43He's been right here, using his pheromones to comfort me
00:10:46And our future heir
00:10:49She deliberately emphasised the word heir
00:10:52My nails dug deep into my palms as I asked coldly
00:10:55Where's the bracelet?
00:10:56Cecilia leisurely picked up the antique crystal bracelet from the bedside table
00:11:00And dangled it from her fingertips
00:11:02You mean this?
00:11:03She flashed a cruel smile
00:11:05Here's the deal
00:11:06With your human body
00:11:08Bow to me
00:11:09Kieran's future Luna
00:11:11And I'll consider giving it back
00:11:13I trembled with rage
00:11:15Don't go too far
00:11:19Cecilia's eyes were full of disdain
00:11:21Her arrogance on full display
00:11:23So what if I do?
00:11:25Elise, you're nothing but a fragile, short-lived human
00:11:28While I possess the purest alpha bloodline
00:11:31What right do you have to compete with me for Kieran's affection?
00:11:34Bowing to me is an honour
00:11:36She pretended to loosen her grip
00:11:38I'll count to three
00:11:40If you don't get on your knees, I'll drop it
00:11:43Two
00:11:44One
00:11:45I bit my lip so hard I nearly drew blood
00:11:47My knees felt like they were filled with lead
00:11:49But they finally crashed heavily onto the cold floor
00:11:52As I bowed down with my forehead touching the ground
00:11:56Cecilia burst out laughing
00:11:58Look at you
00:11:59You really do look like a pathetic dog
00:12:02She raised her hand
00:12:04And I reached out to catch it
00:12:05However, she released her fingers just half a step away from me
00:12:09The crystal bracelet shattered on the floor
00:12:12Breaking into several pieces
00:12:14Cecilia covered her grin with a look of mock surprise
00:12:17Oh my!
00:12:19How careless of you!
00:12:20You couldn't even catch it!
00:12:21I trembled
00:12:22And had just lunged forward to gather the pieces
00:12:25When Cecilia suddenly screamed and fell backward against the wall
00:12:28At that moment, the door was violently pushed open
00:12:32Ciaran and Lucian stood in the doorway with grim expressions
00:12:35Followed by several other elders
00:12:37What are you doing?!
00:12:42Lucian demanded sternly
00:12:44His voice carrying alpha authority that made me feel suffocated
00:12:48Cecilia threw herself into Ciaran's arms, crying
00:12:50Ciaran!
00:12:52My stomach hurts so much
00:12:54Oh, and checked Tyra quickly
00:12:56I just saw Elise pinching and hitting her
00:12:58Ciaran frantically picked up the pup to examine her
00:13:01Lifting her clothes to reveal tender skin covered in purple bruises from pinching
00:13:05I stared in disbelief
00:13:08I didn't!
00:13:10I never even touched her!
00:13:12I shook my head desperately
00:13:13As Lucian glared at me with venom in his eyes
00:13:16Suddenly
00:13:17A blow heavy with werewolf strength struck me across the face
00:13:21My vision went black
00:13:22My ears rang
00:13:23And blood dripped from the corner of my mouth
00:13:25You vile woman
00:13:27Lucian's voice sounded like an echo
00:13:29You dare harm a pregnant she-wolf and an innocent pup?
00:13:34Another elder said coldly
00:13:36The last punishment was too lenient
00:13:38Guards, drag her to the punishment chamber and give her twenty flaps
00:13:43Ciaran clenched his fists tightly and stepped forward
00:13:46Elders, you still want to protect her?
00:13:49Lucian interrupted harshly
00:13:51She harmed your own bloodline
00:13:53Even if you plan to run away with her
00:13:55It doesn't change
00:13:56That this pup carries your blood
00:14:00I trembled
00:14:01Instinctively looking toward Ciaran
00:14:04He still stood there
00:14:05With his knuckles white from clenching
00:14:07In the punishment chamber
00:14:09Wolf guards pinned me down
00:14:10Forcing me to kneel on the stone slab in the center
00:14:13The first lash came down
00:14:14And my vision went black
00:14:16In a daze
00:14:17I remembered when I had broken up with Ciaran
00:14:20On the day he decided to rebel against his family
00:14:22To be with me
00:14:23That night it poured rain
00:14:25And he stood outside my window
00:14:27Letting the storm drench him until he burned with a high fever
00:14:30When I went to see him
00:14:31He was delirious with fever
00:14:33Yet
00:14:34He still grabbed my hand and said
00:14:36Elise
00:14:36Remember
00:14:38Even if it means fighting the whole world
00:14:40I want only you as my mate
00:14:42At the 15th lash
00:14:44I seemed to hear his gentle voice from years ago
00:14:47When I was injured
00:14:48How did you get hurt again?
00:14:50Let me lick it
00:14:51It won't hurt for much longer
00:14:53Finally the last lash struck
00:14:55And I could not hold on anymore
00:14:57My vision went black as I completely passed out
00:15:00Just before losing consciousness
00:15:02I saw Ciaran anxiously pulling me into his arms
00:15:07When I woke up again
00:15:08I was lying face down on a bed
00:15:10Even the slightest movement
00:15:12Sent searing pain across my back
00:15:15Elise!
00:15:16Ciaran immediately rushed over
00:15:18His eyes bloodshot with exhaustion
00:15:21You're awake
00:15:22Does it still hurt?
00:15:24I silently pulled my hand away
00:15:25Unwilling to look at him
00:15:27Ciaran stiffened for a moment
00:15:29Before speaking again to explain
00:15:30Elise
00:15:31It's not that I didn't want to stop them
00:15:33But in that situation
00:15:35The more I resisted
00:15:36The harsher
00:15:37The elder's punishment would have been
00:15:39Elder Lucian even considered executing you
00:15:41I had to protect your life first
00:15:43So
00:15:44I said with a hoarse voice
00:15:46You also believe I hurt your pup?
00:15:49Ciaran's Adam's apple bobbed once
00:15:51Ultimately he chose silence
00:15:53This moment of silence was like a dull blade
00:15:56Brutally cutting through my last shred of hope
00:15:59With reddened eyes
00:16:00I slowly said
00:16:01I'll ask you just one question
00:16:03Ciaran wolf
00:16:04In the name of the moon and our mate bond
00:16:07Do you believe me?
00:16:11Ciaran frowned
00:16:12Anger creeping into his voice
00:16:14Elise
00:16:14There are bruises on Tyra
00:16:16And Cecilia named you herself
00:16:19There's a witness and evidence
00:16:21How do you expect me to believe you?
00:16:23Didn't I tell you that everything would be fine once this was all over?
00:16:26Why did you have to provoke Cecilia?
00:16:28My tears suddenly started falling
00:16:30I thought I would not feel pain anymore
00:16:33But my chest still felt like it was being viciously torn apart
00:16:36I hurriedly turned my head away
00:16:38Not wanting him to see me looking so pathetic and weak
00:16:41Go
00:16:42I whispered so quietly it was barely audible
00:16:45Just wait a little longer, okay?
00:16:48His voice softened as he tried to approach me again
00:16:50Soon
00:16:51Once Cecilia gives birth to this pup
00:16:53We'll definitely be able to leave
00:16:55I swear
00:16:57I'll take you to see the southern seas
00:16:59That never freeze
00:17:01We would go back to how things were?
00:17:03I closed my eyes
00:17:04My throat tightening
00:17:05I knew well that we could never go back
00:17:07After all
00:17:08He had Cecilia now
00:17:10And two pups
00:17:11For their sake
00:17:12He had hurt me again and again
00:17:14Choosing others over me time after time
00:17:16I slowly turned over
00:17:18To face away from him
00:17:19Not wanting to say another word
00:17:24Kieran looked at me
00:17:26His face twisted with pain
00:17:27In the end
00:17:28He only reached out to brush my hair
00:17:30Whispering
00:17:31Sleep
00:17:32I'll stay here with you
00:17:33Before he even finished
00:17:34The door was violently pushed open
00:17:36And a beater stood there frantically
00:17:38Alpha
00:17:40Miss Donati has been crying and calling for you
00:17:42The healer says emotional fluctuations may hurt the pup
00:17:45Kieran frowned
00:17:46He glanced at my turned back
00:17:48And hesitated for a moment
00:17:49Then he stood up
00:17:50Elise
00:17:52I
00:17:53I let out a self-mocking laugh and murmured
00:17:56Go
00:17:57Wait for me
00:17:58I'll go check on them
00:18:00Then come right back to take care of you
00:18:02Watching his retreating figure
00:18:03I smiled bitterly
00:18:05You're a liar
00:18:07Kieran
00:18:07You won't be coming back
00:18:10Sure enough
00:18:10He never returned that night
00:18:12I was discharged the next day
00:18:14And it was pouring rain outside
00:18:15I packed my belongings
00:18:17And stood at the hospital entrance
00:18:19Watching Kieran's carriage slowly approach
00:18:22As soon as I opened the carriage door
00:18:24I saw Cecilia holding Tyra in the passenger seat
00:18:27Kieran
00:18:28Cecilia saw me
00:18:29And immediately shrank closer to him
00:18:31I
00:18:33I haven't recovered from the shock yet
00:18:37She covered her lower abdomen
00:18:38Her voice trembling
00:18:39She can hurt me if she wants
00:18:41But she can't hurt Tyra
00:18:43Can you
00:18:45Give me a little more time
00:18:46Please don't make me ride in the same carriage with her for now
00:18:49I froze
00:18:50As I stared at the seat that used to belong to me
00:18:53Kieran was silent for a long time
00:18:55Then finally pushed his door open
00:18:57And handed me a large umbrella
00:18:59Elise
00:18:59Wait here for a while
00:19:01I'll take Cecilia home first
00:19:03And come right back to pick you up
00:19:05With that
00:19:06He closed the window
00:19:07And the black carriage sped away
00:19:09I stood there motionless
00:19:10Watching the carriage carrying the family of three disappear at the end of the road
00:19:14I closed my eyes
00:19:16Feeling like there was a huge hole in my chest that could never be filled
00:19:19With cold wind rushing through it
00:19:21I waited for a long time
00:19:23Until the rain grew heavier
00:19:24And the sky turned completely dark
00:19:26Kieran had promised to come back for me
00:19:28But he never did
00:19:29My communication crystal had lost its glow
00:19:31And I called out to him repeatedly through our mind link
00:19:34Yet
00:19:35There was only blocked silence on the other end
00:19:37Seeing the sky grow darker with no sign of the storm letting up
00:19:41I had no choice but to open the heavy umbrella and walk home
00:19:46The fierce wind nearly snapped the umbrella frame
00:19:49As I stumbled forward
00:19:51Suddenly
00:19:52My foot slipped
00:19:53And I fell hard into a mud
00:19:57The umbrella cracked with a sharp sound
00:20:00And rain instantly soaked through my entire body
00:20:02By the time I finally made it home in my messy state
00:20:05It was already deep into the night
00:20:07As I stood dripping wet in the entryway
00:20:10I heard Cecilia's tearful voice coming from the living room
00:20:13Her voice was soft and trembling
00:20:15Kieran
00:20:16I know you only have a lease in your heart
00:20:20But this really is a special situation
00:20:22My milk ducts are blocked
00:20:24And it hurts so much
00:20:25And Tyara keeps crying for milk
00:20:27She sobbed
00:20:28The usual methods don't work
00:20:30And the healer said
00:20:32Perhaps the pup's father has to
00:20:35Help
00:20:35Just think of it as for Tyra's sake
00:20:38Please help me
00:20:39Don't worry
00:20:41Elise will never know
00:20:42I froze at the doorway
00:20:43And it felt like all the blood in my body had run cold
00:20:46In the living room
00:20:48I could not see his expression
00:20:49Only his tense back
00:20:51After a long silence
00:20:52I watched Kieran's left hand slowly rise
00:20:55His fingertips parting Cecilia's clothing
00:20:58As his right hand slid over her pale skin
00:21:00Then, right before my eyes
00:21:03He lowered his head
00:21:04And pressed his lips against that softness
00:21:08I was struck motionless
00:21:10Like lightning had hit me directly
00:21:12Time seemed to stretch endlessly
00:21:14Each second feeling like a knife
00:21:16Stabbing into my eyes
00:21:18And carving into my soul
00:21:19I watched helplessly as Kieran leaned down
00:21:22I watched as his lips touched Cecilia's chest
00:21:25And I certainly watched as he sucked gently
00:21:28Over and over again
00:21:30Cecilia let out a satisfied moan
00:21:32Threading her fingers through his hair
00:21:34This side needs attention too
00:21:36Kieran frowned slightly
00:21:38But that side isn't blocked, is it?
00:21:40Cecilia did not answer with words
00:21:41Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck
00:21:44And pressed his face against her
00:21:46After a moment of silence
00:21:47He lowered his head again
00:21:49I could not watch anymore
00:21:50And bolted into the rain
00:21:51The storm poured down on me
00:21:54But I felt no cold
00:21:55My mind was filled with memories
00:21:57Of our first time together
00:21:58How careful Kieran had been
00:22:00How he had treasured me
00:22:02And how he had whispered in my ear
00:22:04With that husky voice
00:22:05Elise, you're my first
00:22:07And you'll be my last
00:22:09Now, those same lips were on another woman
00:22:11My heart ached
00:22:12And it hurt worse than the lashes
00:22:14I bent over and crouched in the rain
00:22:16Until my legs went numb
00:22:18Waiting until the mansion's lights
00:22:20Finally went out
00:22:21Before stumbling back like a lost soul
00:22:23And collapsing in an empty room
00:22:27The fever hit hard and fast in the middle of the night
00:22:30Half conscious, I heard Kieran's deep, gentle voice from the master bedroom
00:22:35He was humming an old werewolf lullaby
00:22:37One used to soothe their young
00:22:39Of course, he was doing prenatal bonding with the pup in Cecilia's belly
00:22:43Using a method reserved only for the closest of kin
00:22:46Just like he had once promised me
00:22:48Saying
00:22:49When we have our pup
00:22:51I'll sing our ancestors' songs to help him sleep every day
00:22:54I did not know how long had passed
00:22:56Before I heard someone calling me
00:22:58Elise
00:23:00Elise
00:23:01I struggled to open my eyes
00:23:03And saw Kieran sitting by the bed
00:23:04With a bowl of medicine
00:23:06How did you get this sick?
00:23:08He touched my forehead
00:23:09With the same gentle care as before
00:23:11However, when he got close
00:23:13All I could see was what I had witnessed in that bedroom
00:23:16I turned away
00:23:17Refusing his touch
00:23:19Elise
00:23:21I'll leave the medicine and water here
00:23:22He paused
00:23:23His voice strained
00:23:25Cecilia is sick and carrying my pup
00:23:27Plus she has Tyra to care for
00:23:29So she'll be staying in our house for now
00:23:32The master bedroom will be theirs for the time being
00:23:34You'll stay in this room for the next few days
00:23:37And shouldn't leave
00:23:38In case they catch something from you
00:23:39I'll have the door locked from the outside
00:23:41And Brad will bring you food and medicine
00:23:45Without waiting for my response
00:23:47Kieran practically fled the room to go care for Cecilia and Tyra
00:23:51The lock clicked shut
00:23:52And my tears fell instantly
00:23:54How ridiculous
00:23:56I had once been the treasure he held in the palm of his hand
00:23:59But now I had become nothing but a danger
00:24:02That needed to be locked away
00:24:04Maybe it was Cecilia's doing
00:24:06But over the next few days
00:24:07No one brought me water or food on schedule
00:24:09My fever would not break
00:24:11Leaving me dizzy and lightheaded
00:24:13While I constantly heard laughter and joy from outside
00:24:16From the living room came the sound of a familiar, magical projection
00:24:21Playing one Kieran used to watch with me
00:24:23Wrapped in his arms
00:24:24Cecilia's soft voice drifted through the door
00:24:27Sweet and intimate
00:24:28This scene always makes me cry
00:24:31Hold me tighter just like this
00:24:33Kieran chuckled warmly
00:24:36Alright, come here
00:24:38You're such a baby
00:24:39They shared candlelit dinners in the living room
00:24:42Just like the surprises he used to cook for me every month
00:24:45The clink of wine glasses
00:24:46And their quiet laughter carried clearly to my room
00:24:49Later that night
00:24:50Their voices turned softer, more tender
00:24:53As they talked about the future
00:24:54It's a boy, I want to name him Fenlaw
00:24:57Strong, just like his father
00:24:59What do you think?
00:25:00Fenlaw sounds perfect
00:25:01And if it's a girl
00:25:03Serafina
00:25:04She'll be as beautiful as you
00:25:05I curled up on the bed
00:25:07Biting the blanket hard
00:25:08Refusing to let myself cry out loud
00:25:14After three full days of fever
00:25:16I finally recovered
00:25:17The day I walked out of my room
00:25:19Happened to be Tyra's official pack recognition ceremony
00:25:22The moonlight ritual
00:25:24The ceremony was held at the pack's sacred ground
00:25:27A moonlit grove surrounded by ancient oak trees
00:25:30A bonfire blazed bright
00:25:32While the scent of roasted venison filled the air
00:25:35And the werewolves drank honey mead
00:25:37As the atmosphere grew festive
00:25:38Lucian and several elders beamed with joy
00:25:42As they held the swaddled Tyra
00:25:44While she received blessings from the pack members
00:25:47Exquisite jewelry and precious toys
00:25:49Were piled high like a small mountain
00:25:51Ciaran, this is for Cecilia
00:25:53Lucian smiled as he handed over a wooden box
00:25:56Inside was a ring set
00:25:58With an enormous milky white gem
00:26:00That seemed to pulse with moonlight
00:26:02It was the tear of the moon goddess
00:26:04She has given the wolf family
00:26:07A healthy bloodline
00:26:09Ciaran slipped the ring onto Cecilia's finger
00:26:12And whispered gently
00:26:13You've done so well
00:26:14Cecilia blushed and leaned into his arms
00:26:17And the family of three looked blissfully happy
00:26:23The guests circled Tyra
00:26:24Praising her endlessly
00:26:26Tyra's cry is so strong
00:26:27She'll definitely be a powerful warrior
00:26:29Her eyes are like Cecilia's
00:26:31With the color of moonlight
00:26:33What a union of powerful bloodlines
00:26:35Long live the Alpha, Ciaran and Miss Donari
00:26:37I stood in the corner watching it all
00:26:39My nails dug deep into my palms
00:26:41But I felt no pain
00:26:43I didn't expect that it would be to pose for a portrait
00:26:45Cecilia suddenly walked toward me with a wine glass
00:26:48Her smile sweet
00:26:49The artist carefully prepared his magical recording crystal
00:26:53Miss George, Mrs. Donati
00:26:55Please stand a little closer
00:26:56Cecilia looked unbothered though
00:26:58She directly pulled me towards the artist's easel
00:27:01Don't worry Miss George
00:27:02This magical recording crystal won't harm you
00:27:04It will just record your current state
00:27:06Look how good Ciaran is to me now
00:27:10Every night he stays with me
00:27:12Wrapping me in his Alpha aura
00:27:14Until I sleep
00:27:15I closed my eyes wearily
00:27:16Not wanting to listen or argue
00:27:18We are ready
00:27:19Just wishing it to end quickly
00:27:21The moment the magical recording crystal clicked and captured the image
00:27:24The massive totem pole behind us
00:27:26A symbol of the pack's history
00:27:28Gave a sharp crack
00:27:29Watch out!
00:27:32As the totem pole collapsed
00:27:34Ciaran rushed over and grabbed me
00:27:36The huge wooden column crashed to the ground
00:27:39Scraping past my back and raising a cloud of dust
00:27:42Meanwhile, Cecilia was struck by splintered wood and the impact force of the collapse
00:27:47She screamed as she fell
00:27:49With a shocking pool of bright red blood spreading beneath her
00:27:51Ciaran released me and rushed to her like a madman
00:27:55Outside the operating room
00:27:57Ciaran paced anxiously
00:27:59Watching his restless state
00:28:00I remembered how he had kept watch by my bedside all night
00:28:03When I was injured while gathering herbs in the mountains
00:28:07Alpha Ciaran!
00:28:08The healer suddenly burst through the curtain
00:28:10Miss Donati is hemorrhaging badly
00:28:12The blood reserves don't have her blood type
00:28:14We need an immediate donation
00:28:15Take mine
00:28:16That won't work!
00:28:17Your type A
00:28:18And Miss George's type O
00:28:20Given her weakened state after the injury
00:28:22She might not be able to handle the violent energy in an alpha's blood
00:28:25It has to be human blood
00:28:26After hearing this
00:28:27Ciaran's gaze snapped to me
00:28:29At that moment
00:28:30I felt like I had been struck by lightning
00:28:35I stepped back abruptly
00:28:37My voice trembling
00:28:38I won't do it
00:28:40My blood
00:28:41The one thing they saw as special in this body they deemed a lowly humans
00:28:44Was now supposed to be used as a tool to save his heir
00:28:48Elise!
00:28:49Ciaran grabbed my wrist
00:28:50His eyes sharp
00:28:51This isn't the time for your tantrum
00:28:54She's carrying the pack's heir
00:28:55If something happens we'll never be able to leave
00:28:58Do you understand?
00:28:59My heart clenched painfully
00:29:00I wondered if he was afraid we could not leave
00:29:03Or that something would happen to their pup
00:29:04What if I refuse?
00:29:06Ciaran's face darkened
00:29:07I saved you
00:29:09And that was what caused Cecilia's injury
00:29:11You owe her this
00:29:12Is giving a little blood really so hard?
00:29:15He looked at me with disappointment
00:29:18Ilysses
00:29:18How did you end up like this?
00:29:20My heart stabbed with pain
00:29:22Had I changed?
00:29:23He was the one who had pursued me relentlessly
00:29:26Saying I was his only possible mate
00:29:28He was the one who promised to recognize only me for life
00:29:31Who stood in the rain begging me to trust that he could handle everything
00:29:35Now he was saying I had changed?
00:29:39My voice shook as I replied
00:29:41So
00:29:42You regret saving me
00:29:44If you could do it over you'd slave Cecilia and your pup first wouldn't you?
00:29:48Ciaran froze
00:29:48What are you talking about?
00:29:50Something's wrong
00:29:51Miss Donati is in critical condition
00:29:54The healer urged anxiously
00:29:55Any more delay and we'll lose both mother and pup
00:29:58Alpha
00:29:59Make a decision quickly
00:30:01Ciaran's eyes hardened
00:30:02Without further hesitation he ordered the guards at the door
00:30:06Take her to the blood drawing chamber
00:30:07I was forced into the chair
00:30:09As a hollow silver needle pierced my vein
00:30:12And my blood flowed out
00:30:13Drop by drop
00:30:14Throughout it all
00:30:16Ciaran never once looked back at me
00:30:18When they had drawn two vials
00:30:19The healer hesitated
00:30:21Alpha
00:30:22Miss George is too weak
00:30:24If we draw more I'm afraid
00:30:26Continue
00:30:27Ciaran said without turning around
00:30:29When they reached three vials
00:30:31In my delirium I seemed to see Ciaran from when we first met
00:30:35Standing outside the herb shop
00:30:36Smiling at me
00:30:37I'm Ciaran Wolfe
00:30:39And I'll be back tomorrow
00:30:41In the final moment
00:30:42I completely lost consciousness
00:30:46When I woke up again
00:30:48Ciaran was sitting by the hospital bed
00:30:50I thought he would coax me gently like before
00:30:53Begging for my forgiveness
00:30:54Yet
00:30:55When I opened my eyes
00:30:57I met his cold gaze instead
00:30:59Did you ruin the totem pole?
00:31:01My mind went completely blank
00:31:02What are you talking about?
00:31:04Ciaran's eyes were sharp
00:31:05The elders council investigated
00:31:07And found that someone had soared
00:31:09Halfway through the totem pole's base
00:31:11If it wasn't you
00:31:13Who else would be scheming so hard to harm Cecilia?
00:31:16A chill spread through me
00:31:18I'll say it again
00:31:19It wasn't me
00:31:21Not this time
00:31:22Not this time
00:31:23Not the last time
00:31:25Not the time before that
00:31:26Do you believe me?
00:31:28Ciaran
00:31:30Swear on your wolf soul
00:31:32And tell me if you sense through our bond
00:31:35That I'm lying
00:31:37My voice rose into a scream
00:31:39With the last words
00:31:40You're still denying it!
00:31:43Ciaran's eyes turned cold
00:31:44You always ask me to believe you
00:31:46But what have you done?
00:31:49Cecilia ends up hurt
00:31:50While the pups are in danger
00:31:53I told you
00:31:54I only treat her well because of the air
00:31:57Why do you insist on making a scene
00:31:59If she loses the pup?
00:32:02What good does that do for us?
00:32:05My chest heaved violently as countless grievances and anger clogged my throat
00:32:09I wanted to question him
00:32:11To argue back
00:32:12To scream at the top of my lungs that I had never hurt anyone
00:32:15I wanted to ask if he had forgotten his promise to always believe me unconditionally and never doubt me
00:32:20In the end
00:32:21I just looked at him wearily
00:32:23My voice trembling
00:32:24As I said
00:32:26Fine
00:32:27Since you don't trust me
00:32:29Let's end this
00:32:31You can break the maiton between us
00:32:33I'll step aside so you can live happily as a family of four
00:32:36Ciaran froze instantly
00:32:38His golden pupils contract and sharp
00:32:40What did you say?
00:32:42An uncontrolled werewolf growl spilled from his throat
00:32:45I glared at him with bloodshot eyes
00:32:48Wasn't I clear enough?
00:32:49I renounced the bond between us
00:32:52I'm willingly stepping aside for you and Cecilia
00:32:55Ciaran punched the nearby table
00:32:57Shattering it
00:32:58As wood splinters flew everywhere
00:33:00He grabbed my wrist
00:33:02Fury rolling in his eyes
00:33:03Elise!
00:33:06What are you saying?
00:33:08I've always loved you
00:33:10Yet you want me to be with another woman
00:33:12I stared back at him stubbornly with teary eyes
00:33:14Saying nothing
00:33:17After a long standoff
00:33:19Ciaran took a deep breath
00:33:20He forcibly suppressed his anger and pulled me into his arms
00:33:24Holding me so tight
00:33:25It felt like he wanted to merge me into his bones
00:33:28This matter ends here
00:33:30Cecilia has already forgiven you
00:33:32And I won't hold it against you either
00:33:34But remember this
00:33:36He tightened his arms
00:33:37His voice hoarse as he said
00:33:39Don't ever mention breaking the bond
00:33:41Or leaving again
00:33:42Never
00:33:42Everything I'm doing is for our future
00:33:44I did not tell him that to hell with the future
00:33:47I had already decided to leave
00:33:49She forgave me that easily
00:33:50No conditions
00:33:52I asked softly
00:33:53My voice numb
00:33:54Ciaran's body stiffened
00:33:56And he was silent for a moment
00:33:58Before releasing me
00:33:59She wants to hold a moonlight vow ceremony
00:34:02Cecilia says she wants the pups to know
00:34:04Their parents once loved each other
00:34:05Are blessed by the moon goddess
00:34:07To give them a legitimate background
00:34:09After a pause
00:34:10He turned to look at me
00:34:11But this vow is fake
00:34:13I'm just going through the motions
00:34:15To give the pack and pups an explanation
00:34:17Don't overthink it
00:34:20My lips trembled
00:34:21But I could not say a word
00:34:23My heart felt like it was being squeezed
00:34:25By an icy hand
00:34:26Each beat bringing tearing pain and absurdity
00:34:30Ciaran
00:34:30Oh Ciaran
00:34:31You already have children with her
00:34:33And now you're even having the pack's most sacred
00:34:36Moonlight vound ceremony
00:34:37What part of this is fake?
00:34:40What am I supposed to be to you?
00:34:42Ciaran kept talking
00:34:43His voice fading in and out
00:34:45As he explained the necessity of the ceremony
00:34:47And promised we would leave together afterward
00:34:50I watched his moving lips
00:34:51And suddenly felt utterly exhausted
00:34:53I slowly closed my eyes
00:34:55Letting those words turn to dust
00:34:57And settle on my already dead heart
00:34:59I never spoke another word
00:35:01Ciaran stayed with me at the healer's chamber
00:35:04For three full days
00:35:05Caring for me meticulously
00:35:07When feeding me medicine
00:35:08He would always blow on it gently first
00:35:11Then carefully bring it to my lips
00:35:12At night
00:35:13If I made the slightest movement
00:35:15He would wake up startled
00:35:17And frantically grab my hand
00:35:19Until he was sure I was okay
00:35:20When the healer gave me magical healing needles
00:35:23He would hold me in his arms
00:35:25His fingers gently covering my eyes
00:35:27While he whispered soothingly
00:35:29Don't look
00:35:30It'll be over soon
00:35:33However
00:35:34After taking me home from the healer's chamber
00:35:37He immediately began preparing for the vow ceremony
00:35:40To prevent me from causing trouble
00:35:41He even confiscated my communication crystal
00:35:44And posted guards at the door
00:35:46To watch me 24-7
00:35:47In the huge mansion
00:35:49Only one housekeeper was left to look after me
00:35:52I did not resist
00:35:53And quietly packed my luggage
00:35:54On the day of the vow ceremony
00:35:57My communication crystal was returned to me
00:35:59Filled with magical projections
00:36:01Cecilia had sent
00:36:03Ciaran
00:36:04In formal attire
00:36:05Tenderly placing a ring on Cecilia's finger
00:36:07Both of them kissing passionately
00:36:09Amid everyone's blessings
00:36:10Their little family happily cutting a ceremonial bread together
00:36:14Every projection
00:36:15Was a blade carving deeper into my already broken heart
00:36:19Every projection
00:36:20Was a blade carving deeper into my already broken heart
00:36:24Just as I was about to put the crystal away
00:36:26The door suddenly opened
00:36:28Lucian stood in the doorway and said
00:36:30Everything's been arranged
00:36:32He handed me a ship ticket
00:36:33And said
00:36:34I guarantee that once you leave
00:36:36He'll never find you
00:36:38I silently took the ticket
00:36:39And picked up my packed leather trunk
00:36:41As I walked out of the mansion
00:36:42The sun was shining
00:36:44I did not look back
00:36:45Walking toward the carriage
00:36:46Waiting by the roadside
00:36:47I did not say goodbye to Ciaran
00:36:49For the rest of my life
00:36:51As long as the mountains rise
00:36:53And the rivers run
00:36:54We would never meet again
00:36:57I took a deep breath
00:36:59And forced myself
00:37:00To keep a calm expression
00:37:01This is only temporary
00:37:02Everything I'm doing is for Elise
00:37:04The altar was already crowded
00:37:06With werewolf guests
00:37:07Wearing traditional attire
00:37:09Their eyes filled with respect
00:37:11For the ancient ritual
00:37:12Though this was merely a fake wedding
00:37:14The elders council had made it grand and solemn
00:37:16I knew I should step forward
00:37:18To greet my bride
00:37:19But my legs felt heavy
00:37:20The alpha and his mate
00:37:22Will swear in blood
00:37:23Nourishing the bond
00:37:24And uniting their honor
00:37:26I looked down at the cold dagger
00:37:28And reached out
00:37:28My fingertips trembling slightly
00:37:30Just as my fingertips
00:37:31Were about to touch the dagger
00:37:33A violent burning pain
00:37:34From deep within my soul
00:37:35Suddenly shot up from my heart
00:37:37The sudden soul-deep agony
00:37:39Made me jerk my hand back
00:37:40And I seemed to hear
00:37:41Elise's desperate voice
00:37:43In my ears
00:37:43Ciaran
00:37:44Are you really going to take
00:37:45A blood oath with her?
00:37:46What about me?
00:37:48What do our vows mean?
00:37:49The voice was distant
00:37:50Yet unbearably real
00:37:54I shook my head
00:37:55And forced myself to calm down
00:37:56Lucian told me
00:37:58Elise is waiting for me in the mansion
00:37:59And she won't go anywhere
00:38:01Don't scare yourself
00:38:02Throughout the entire process
00:38:04I was like a puppet
00:38:05Now the alpha may kiss his mate
00:38:08To complete the final step of the vow
00:38:11Cheers and wolf howls
00:38:12Suddenly erupted like a tidal wave
00:38:14In the crest of the noise
00:38:15I stiffly lowered my head
00:38:17Moving closer to Cecilia
00:38:18The ceremony is complete
00:38:20Congratulations to both of you
00:38:22For becoming mates
00:38:23Under the moon goddess's witness
00:38:25May your bloodline thrive
00:38:27Beyond the grove
00:38:28Magical flares shot into the sky
00:38:30Exploding in the shape of wolfhats
00:38:33The grand ceremony was finally over
00:38:35After that
00:38:36I violently tore off
00:38:38The gorgeous ceremonial robes
00:38:39And burst forth with incredible speed
00:38:42Shooting out of the sacred ground
00:38:43At impossible speed
00:38:45Faster
00:38:46Faster
00:38:48Elise
00:38:49Wait for me
00:38:50I slammed through the heavy doors
00:38:53In my massive wolf form
00:38:54Charging forward at breakneck speed
00:38:56Leaving destruction in my wake
00:38:58The moment I shifted back to human form
00:39:00I sprinted toward Elise's room
00:39:02With desperate urgency
00:39:03Elise
00:39:04The ceremony is over
00:39:06We can leave now
00:39:07Right now
00:39:08The next moment the smile on my face froze
00:39:10It was empty
00:39:13The closet hung bare
00:39:15The vanity sat stripped
00:39:16Elise
00:39:19Elise
00:39:19Elise
00:39:20Panic surged through me
00:39:21I spun around and tore through the estate
00:39:23The library
00:39:24The lounge
00:39:25Even the army
00:39:25I grabbed the trembling housekeeper
00:39:28Where is she?
00:39:29I told you to watch her
00:39:31I had locked her door
00:39:33Increased the guards
00:39:34Ordered the servants
00:39:35To monitor her every move
00:39:37A human like Elise
00:39:38Couldn't leave packed territory alone
00:39:40So why was she gone?
00:39:42The housekeeper was too terrified to speak
00:39:44Lucien emerged from the shadows
00:39:46Stop looking Kieran
00:39:47She's already gone
00:39:48I whipped around
00:39:49Gone where?
00:39:50Somewhere you'll never find her
00:39:52The moonlight vow is done
00:39:53Focus on being alpha
00:39:55And stay with Cecilia and your pups
00:39:57Gone
00:39:58That sounded absurd
00:39:59Elise would only leave with me
00:40:01Just as she'd promised
00:40:02She loved me
00:40:04She had waited for everything
00:40:05If she wanted to leave
00:40:07She would have done it
00:40:08When I agreed to have pups with Cecilia
00:40:10Did you force her to leave?
00:40:12My alpha aura burst out
00:40:13Making the walls vibrant
00:40:15I agreed to have pups with Cecilia
00:40:19I went through the moonlight vow
00:40:22I gave you everything
00:40:23Why did you still drive her away?
00:40:27Lucien stepped forward and handed me a letter
00:40:29We didn't drive her away
00:40:31She left on her own
00:40:33Read this
00:40:34I looked down
00:40:35On the parchment
00:40:36In Elise's handwriting
00:40:38To Kieran
00:40:39My fingers trembled as I took the letter
00:40:41The paper tore
00:40:42Inside was a letter
00:40:44Her script beautiful and neat
00:40:46By the time you read this
00:40:48I'll be gone
00:40:48You won't find me
00:40:51I'm leaving because I don't want to wait anymore
00:40:54First you said you just needed an heir
00:40:56I believed you
00:40:57Then Tyra was born
00:40:59And you said you needed more time
00:41:01I believed that too
00:41:03Then you said you needed a son
00:41:05I tried to believe
00:41:08But now you're taking a blood oath with her
00:41:10Under the moon goddess witness
00:41:12Kieran, how much longer was I supposed to wait?
00:41:15I'm human
00:41:16My life is short
00:41:17I can't endure endless waiting
00:41:20When the moonlight vow echoed through the sacred grounds
00:41:22Everything between us ended
00:41:25The mate bond is severed
00:41:26We will never see each other again
00:41:29Elise
00:41:32Only then did I understand
00:41:33The pain during the vow
00:41:35My wolf's restless howling
00:41:37It had come from the mate bond severing
00:41:39I destroyed our love with my own hands
00:41:41I read the letter again
00:41:42The paper shook in my trembling fingers
00:41:45A metallic taste surged up my throat
00:41:47The world twisted and spun
00:41:49Colors bled away
00:41:50The floor collapsed in my thinking
00:41:52My entire world plunged into darkness
00:41:55Alpha Kieran, get the healer
00:41:59Overnight, the entire north buzzed with gossip
00:42:01About the wolf family's humiliation
00:42:03I stood in the destroyed room
00:42:05Glaring at Lucian and at Cecilia
00:42:06Who clutched Tyra while sobbing
00:42:08I tightened my grip on the knife against my wrist
00:42:11Let me go find her
00:42:12Or we'll all die together
00:42:14I still believed Lucian
00:42:16Or Cecilia
00:42:17Had driven Elise away
00:42:18The moment I woke up
00:42:20I planned to find her and run away
00:42:21But the elders drugged me
00:42:23And brought Cecilia and Tyra
00:42:24To convince me to stay
00:42:25If Elise was still here
00:42:27I might have hesitated
00:42:28But now she was gone
00:42:29So was my weakness
00:42:31I had nothing to lose
00:42:35Put the knife down!
00:42:37You're disgracing this pack!
00:42:39Kieran, please
00:42:40Stay for our pups
00:42:42Everyone pressured me to stay
00:42:43With someone I didn't love
00:42:44Raised pups born from duty
00:42:46No one considered my feelings
00:42:48No one considered Elise's
00:42:50You've already destroyed me once!
00:42:52I didn't want to sleep with her
00:42:55You drugged me!
00:42:57I never wanted the pups!
00:42:59My voice trembled with fury
00:43:01Back then, the elders' council
00:43:03Had conspired with Cecilia to drug her
00:43:05When I woke up, I wanted to strangle her
00:43:07Then kill myself
00:43:09The elders begged me
00:43:10We just want an heir
00:43:12You are the heir we raised for over 20 years!
00:43:16They wouldn't let me run away with Elise
00:43:17Without leaving them anything
00:43:18Even Cecilia knelt in front of me and begged
00:43:21Kieran, I've loved you for so many years
00:43:24I've always loved you
00:43:25Please give me a chance
00:43:27Her voice trembled as she looked up at him
00:43:29With tear-filled eyes
00:43:30I'm willing to carry your pup
00:43:32Once the baby is born
00:43:33I'll personally help you leave with Elise
00:43:35I won't stand in your way anymore
00:43:37Just please accept me
00:43:38I gave in
00:43:39But their greed kept growing
00:43:41After Tyra was born
00:43:42They demanded a son
00:43:44They kept forcing me to compromise
00:43:45Now that I'd finally found freedom
00:43:48They'd driven Elise away
00:43:50I couldn't accept it
00:43:51Suddenly, Cecilia bent over
00:43:53Clutching her stomach
00:43:55It hurts!
00:43:58Blood stained the white fabric under Cecilia's dress
00:44:01Quick! Get help!
00:44:02After chaos
00:44:03The elders rushed the miscarrying Cecilia
00:44:06To the healer's chamber
00:44:07Cecilia's mother, Helena Greymark
00:44:09Slapped me across the face
00:44:10Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth
00:44:12But I stood like a soulless puppet
00:44:14Mrs. Donati, this was our fault
00:44:16Once Cecilia recovers
00:44:18I'll make sure Kian takes care of her
00:44:19Take care of her
00:44:21Kian is ready to run off with another woman
00:44:23Cecilia has sacrificed everything for him
00:44:25Bore him one pup carrying another
00:44:26And this is how you treat her?
00:44:28Apologize! Now!
00:44:29I didn't move
00:44:30I hadn't done anything wrong
00:44:32Screaming, pleading, chaos
00:44:34All crushing me
00:44:35Then an angry roar echoed
00:44:37This is a healer's chamber
00:44:38Keep it down
00:44:39The patient is coming out
00:44:41The healer's chamber doors opened
00:44:43Cecilia lay on the bed
00:44:45Faced pale, magical breathing mask on
00:44:48She just finished post-partum recovery
00:44:50And is pregnant again
00:44:51Her body is extremely weak
00:44:53She needs three months of strict bed rest
00:44:55If she loses this pup too
00:44:57It'll be much harder for her to conceive again
00:44:58The elders' faces fell
00:45:00They hurried after the healer
00:45:01The corridor emptied
00:45:02I snapped back to reality
00:45:04Police! I have to find her
00:45:06I wheeled toward the exit
00:45:08But Lucian's guards blocked my path
00:45:10Alpha, you should see your Luna first
00:45:13Get lost
00:45:14Sorry, Alpha
00:45:15If you won't go willingly
00:45:17We'll escort you
00:45:18She's carrying your pup
00:45:20At least see the pup
00:45:21I froze
00:45:22Even though I couldn't stand Cecilia
00:45:24She was carrying my child
00:45:26Soon, I was wheeled to her isolation chamber
00:45:29Just as the guard was about to knock
00:45:31Voices drifted out
00:45:32Mom, your fake misbearage plan was brilliant
00:45:36It worked perfectly to keep Kian here again
00:45:38Her voice was slick with calculation
00:45:40I had never heard her speak like that
00:45:42Do you think if I make the pups have little accidents from time to time
00:45:46Kieran will eventually stay for good
00:45:52Those words slithered into my ears like venom
00:45:54My entire body went rigid
00:45:56Bone-deep cold shot up from my feet
00:45:58The guard quickly stepped aside
00:46:00Helena's smug voice came from inside
00:46:02Of course, Elise is gone
00:46:05But these tricks will keep Kian in your hands
00:46:08My eyelids twitched
00:46:09But don't go too far
00:46:11With Tyra, just give her a little fever
00:46:13Make her cry
00:46:14Never poison her or drop her again
00:46:17And the one in your belly
00:46:18Don't risk too much
00:46:20Don't worry, I know my limits
00:46:21But I already promised Kylan I'd let him leave after the ceremony
00:46:24Even with this fake miscarriage, what about later?
00:46:27He'll still want to find Elise
00:46:28Relax
00:46:29I've already worked it out with Elder Lucian
00:46:31We've sent her far, far away
00:46:33She'll never come back
00:46:34Focus on your pregnancy
00:46:36Once this pup is born
00:46:37All the Wolf family's assets will be yours
00:46:39Veins bulged on the back of my hands
00:46:42So that was it
00:46:43All those times Tyra got sick
00:46:45I thought it was Elise
00:46:46It was Cecilia and her mother
00:46:48They did it themselves
00:46:49All those nights I abandoned Elise
00:46:51Letting her get punished
00:46:53While I sat by Cecilia's or Tyra's bedside
00:46:56Every moment had been part of their plan
00:46:59The world went silent
00:47:00No potion smell
00:47:02No distant murmurs
00:47:04Only the thunderous roar of blood in my ears
00:47:07A metallic taste surged into my throat
00:47:10Lucian approached with a bag of herbs
00:47:13Kieran, why are you standing there?
00:47:15Why haven't you gone in?
00:47:16He moved to open the door
00:47:17I never expected your dad to give me a name
00:47:21But you must fight to marry into the Wolf family
00:47:24Otherwise your pup will be like you
00:47:26Born a bastard
00:47:27Forced to live like a rat in the gutter
00:47:30He never imagined the mother of the heir he'd adored for years
00:47:33Was actually an illegitimate daughter with no status
00:47:35The Wolf family was a century-old dynasty
00:47:37Every Luna had been born into noble bloodlines
00:47:41If their Luna was a bastard
00:47:43They'd be the laughingstock of every pack
00:47:45Cecilia had been Lucian's carefully chosen candidate
00:47:48From the equally prestigious Donati family
00:47:50She was beautiful, charming
00:47:52And had lowered herself to carry my pups before marrying in
00:47:56Lucian had treasured her
00:47:57But now
00:47:58She was worse than Elise's human status
00:48:03It finally hit us why Cecilia's father
00:48:05Alpha Orion Donati
00:48:07Hadn't been seen since the ceremony
00:48:09Lucian burst through the door
00:48:11You despicable liars!
00:48:14How dare you deceive me!
00:48:16Screams erupted
00:48:17Things were thrown and smashed
00:48:19I wheeled inside
00:48:21Cecilia panicked
00:48:22Tried to get up
00:48:23Collapsed to the floor
00:48:24She crawled tearfully to my feet
00:48:26Kieran, let me explain
00:48:28I never meant to hurt our pups
00:48:30I did it because I love you
00:48:32Please don't send me away
00:48:34Until today
00:48:35Cecilia had felt blessed
00:48:36She thought she'd won me over
00:48:38Gotten to bear children for the man she adored
00:48:40But now
00:48:41Everything was ruined
00:48:42I knew the truth
00:48:43Lucian knew
00:48:44Soon the entire Wolf family would know
00:48:47Orion had his legitimate wife and daughter
00:48:49Attending Cecilia's wedding had been his final courtesy
00:48:52Her only path was to cling to the Wolf family
00:48:55Pups
00:48:56My voice was cold
00:48:57And in your eyes
00:48:59They're just tools
00:49:00What right do you have to mention them?
00:49:03I'll give you 10 million gold coins
00:49:05Don't ever appear in front of me again
00:49:08As I turned to leave
00:49:10Cecilia tried to chase after me
00:49:12No!
00:49:14Sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen
00:49:17She looked down at her dress in disbelief
00:49:19Warm blood gushed from beneath her gown
00:49:22No!
00:49:24Another rainy day
00:49:25After the devastating blow
00:49:27Lucian was bedridden
00:49:28I took over the entire Wolf family
00:49:30Both the pack and its estates and businesses
00:49:32While managing the empire
00:49:34I kept searching for Elise
00:49:36After one week
00:49:37Exhaustion was etched across my face
00:49:39Still nothing
00:49:40The guard stayed silent
00:49:42Lowering his head
00:49:43Lucian and the elders had finally agreed
00:49:45To let me bring Elise in as my Luna
00:49:47Even without their approval
00:49:49I would have found Elise and overcome every obstacle to be with her
00:49:52Now I had the pack's blessing
00:49:54So I increased the search efforts
00:49:56But a week passed
00:49:57Nothing
00:49:58Lucian had bought Elise a ship ticket to Hinland
00:50:00But when my people tracked her there
00:50:02She had never arrived
00:50:03She had changed ships mid-journey
00:50:05Then she had boarded a local carriage
00:50:07Where she went from there
00:50:09No one knew
00:50:10The trail had gone cold
00:50:12Then my assistant
00:50:13Jacob Terrell
00:50:14Entered
00:50:15Mr. Wolf
00:50:15Mr. Narty
00:50:16Cher has returned
00:50:17Cher refuses to leave
00:50:21Ever since the falling hour
00:50:23Cecilia had miscarried
00:50:24And Helena had fallen seriously ill
00:50:26Both women's status had plummeted
00:50:28Jacob walked into my office
00:50:30With a troubled expression
00:50:32Boss
00:50:32Cecilia I ask kneeling in the lobby again with the child
00:50:35Tyra has been crying through Verenhauer
00:50:37The guards don't dare drag them away because of the pup
00:50:41What do you want us to do?
00:50:42Cecilia's tearful voice echoed from the doorway
00:50:44As she shouted toward my office
00:50:46Kieran please
00:50:47I know I was wrong
00:50:49I've learned my lesson
00:50:50For Tyra's sake
00:50:51Don't abandon us
00:50:52She's your daughter too
00:50:54Stay with us
00:50:55Just come back
00:50:57I'll be good
00:50:58I swear I'll never cause trouble again
00:51:01Tyra needs her father
00:51:03I looked at the small figure in her arms
00:51:05Once
00:51:06I felt some paternal love for Tyra
00:51:08But now
00:51:09All I could think about
00:51:10Was how she carried half of Cecilia's blood
00:51:13She might grow up to be just as malicious as her mother
00:51:15My last trace of pity completely evaporated
00:51:18I kept scrolling for news about Elise
00:51:20When Jacob waited too long and was about to take matters into his own hands
00:51:24I finally spoke
00:51:25If you ever dare bother me with this again
00:51:28You can roll out of here with her
00:51:30Jacob stiffened and hurried out
00:51:32Downstairs
00:51:33Cecilia was still on her knees
00:51:34Holding Tyra
00:51:35Her face was deathly pale
00:51:37The pup had cried herself hoarse
00:51:39Cecilia's eyes were fixed desperately
00:51:41On the Lord's private lift platform
00:51:43Finally the elevator moved
00:51:45It descended
00:51:46The doors opened
00:51:47Cecilia scrambled to her feet
00:51:49Kieran!
00:51:49Her hand stopped mid-air
00:51:51Her smile froze
00:51:56Why is it you?
00:51:58Where's Kieran?
00:52:00Jacob looked at her blankly
00:52:01Mrs. Donati
00:52:02Mr. Weil has made everything clear
00:52:04Since you enjoy tormenting pups so much
00:52:07You don't need to raise Tyra anymore
00:52:08Cecilia's expression changed
00:52:10She hugged Tyra tighter
00:52:12What do you mean?
00:52:14Heeled leather boots clicked behind her
00:52:16Her half-sister Giselle Donati
00:52:18Snatched Tyra from her arms
00:52:21Since you can't take care of her
00:52:22I will
00:52:23I can't have pups anyway
00:52:26I'll raise her
00:52:27Like she's my own
00:52:30No Donati!
00:52:31She tried to grab Tyra back
00:52:33Giselle's armed guards
00:52:34Knocked her unconscious
00:52:35And dragged her away
00:52:37Tell Mr. Wolf we've taken her away
00:52:38She won't be coming back
00:52:40Also, congratulations
00:52:41On acquiring that field aid
00:52:43In the Northern Territory
00:52:44Trading land for a pup
00:52:46An extremely profitable deal
00:52:47For both sides
00:52:48That was the last mercy
00:52:49I would show the child
00:52:53News of the major leadership changes
00:52:55In the Northern Pax Wolf family
00:52:57Spread quickly
00:52:58Within just a few days
00:52:59I caught up on Kieran and Cecilia's aftermath
00:53:02Through parchment scrolls
00:53:04Brought by a travelling merchant
00:53:05While hiding out in a small mountain village
00:53:07In neutral territory
00:53:09Working as a teacher
00:53:10My heart filled with mixed emotions
00:53:12At this outcome
00:53:13After all
00:53:14In my memory
00:53:15Even though Kieran did not love Cecilia
00:53:18He had still cared for her somewhat
00:53:20For the sake of their two pups
00:53:21Yet in such a short time
00:53:23They had reached this kind of ending
00:53:25Still
00:53:26None of this concerned me anymore
00:53:28I had my own life to live now
00:53:30I pushed the wooden gate open
00:53:31And watered the herbs growing in the yard
00:53:34When I finished
00:53:35I set down the watering can
00:53:37And settled onto the wooden bench
00:53:39Gazing peacefully at the orphanage
00:53:41Surrounded by mountains
00:53:42A soft voice suddenly called out
00:53:45From behind me
00:53:45Miss Eliza
00:53:47Are you looking at the mountains again?
00:53:49Will the big bad wolves from the north come here?
00:53:53The little rabbit-eared girl
00:53:54Climbed onto my lap
00:53:55Hugging my arm tightly
00:53:56Teacher
00:53:57You look sad today
00:53:59Did someone bully you?
00:54:01Don't worry
00:54:02I'll protect you
00:54:03I smiled
00:54:04And gently stroked her fluffy ears
00:54:06No one bullied me, Mia
00:54:08I'm just thinking
00:54:10Some people's stories have ended
00:54:12And mine has only just begun
00:54:15Then will you stay with us forever?
00:54:18Don't leave, okay?
00:54:20We all like you the most
00:54:22I hugged the little girl closer
00:54:24Feeling the warmth in my chest
00:54:26Yes
00:54:27I'll stay
00:54:30This is my home now
00:54:36It was currently summer break
00:54:38So only a few teachers
00:54:40Remained to watch
00:54:40Over the small facility
00:54:42And I was one of them
00:54:43One day
00:54:44A few new teachers
00:54:46Invited me to go up the mountain
00:54:47To gather herbs and mushrooms
00:54:49On the way
00:54:50Kelly linked arms with me
00:54:52And chatted excitedly
00:54:53I heard Mrs. Lott secured
00:54:54Another investor from up north
00:54:57They're coming to inspect next week
00:54:59Elise?
00:55:00Will you be there to welcome them?
00:55:02I politely declined
00:55:03I won't be going
00:55:05I have other things to handle
00:55:08Oh, Kelly said with some regret
00:55:10I heard the wolf family air
00:55:12Alpha Kieran
00:55:13Is incredibly handsome
00:55:15And rich
00:55:16If he's the one coming
00:55:18I smiled and said nothing
00:55:20I had worked so hard to move on
00:55:22I didn't want to see Kieran again
00:55:24Margaret also tried to persuade me
00:55:26But I firmly refused
00:55:28Mrs. Lott
00:55:29Please help cover for me
00:55:31When the time comes
00:55:32Margaret sighed
00:55:33But eventually respected my decision
00:55:36But I never expected to see Kieran again so soon
00:55:40Late that night
00:55:41When I finally returned to the orphanage
00:55:43With the other teachers
00:55:44I immediately spotted Kieran's familiar black carriage
00:55:47Bearing the wolf family crest
00:55:48My heart tightened
00:55:50As I was about to walk past it
00:55:52The carriage door opened
00:55:53The door opened without warning
00:55:55And the two people who thought
00:55:57They would never see each other again
00:55:59Suddenly came face to face
00:56:01Time froze at that moment
00:56:02The earthy smell of rain-soaked soil vanished
00:56:05And the distant sounds of children
00:56:07Playing in the woods disappeared
00:56:08Leaving only the wild beating of Kieran's heart
00:56:11And his rapid breathing
00:56:14Kieran had not expected to actually see me here either
00:56:17I looked at Kieran as well
00:56:19Never having imagined I would encounter him here
00:56:21The moment I saw him
00:56:23The grief buried deep in my heart
00:56:25Surged back up my throat
00:56:26And memories rewound like sand
00:56:29Falling backward in an hourglass
00:56:30With those painful scenes replaying one by one in my mind
00:56:34Kieran
00:56:36Why do you still keep coming for me?
00:56:38I want to take you home
00:56:40He sat across from me
00:56:42His voice low and hoarse as he finally spoke
00:56:45I found out the truth about Cecilia
00:56:47Everything
00:56:48How she schemed
00:56:49How she lied
00:56:51How she tried to destroy you
00:56:52I saw her true nature with my own eyes
00:56:54He paused
00:56:55Swallowing hard
00:56:57I dealt with her
00:56:58She won't ever appear in front of you again
00:57:00Tyra
00:57:01I sent her to a remote pack orphanage
00:57:04She'll be raised far away from all of this
00:57:06His eyes reddened
00:57:07And his voice cracked slightly
00:57:09The elders and I
00:57:10We all regret what we did to you
00:57:12Deeply
00:57:12We were blind, Elise
00:57:15I was blind
00:57:16He reached out as if wanting to touch me
00:57:18But stopped halfway and clenched his fist
00:57:21These past months while searching for you
00:57:23I almost went mad
00:57:26I couldn't eat
00:57:27Couldn't sleep
00:57:28My fingers clutched the parchment that my whole body trembled
00:57:31It was not relief
00:57:32Or grief
00:57:33It was the sudden
00:57:34Brutal
00:57:35Tearing away of a scar
00:57:37A truth too long delayed
00:57:38Now ripping open a scab that had never really healed
00:57:42Revealing the festering wound still raw beneath
00:57:44It was too late
00:57:46Everything was too late
00:57:47I had long past the point of needing the truth exposed
00:57:50And I no longer needed Ciaran's attempts at reconciliation or his regret
00:57:55Ciaran, I can't go back with you
00:57:56And we can't return to how things were
00:57:59When I saw you being intimate with her
00:58:01I kept wondering if I was the other woman
00:58:03No, Elise
00:58:05You weren't the other woman
00:58:06You're the person I woman
00:58:09You're the person I love most
00:58:11Ciaran repeatedly denied this
00:58:14He instinctively reached for my hand
00:58:16But I dodged aside
00:58:17But that was exactly how it was for me
00:58:19You had pups with her
00:58:22Sealed a vow under the moon goddess
00:58:24And lived like a true pair in every way
00:58:26To everyone else
00:58:28She was your mate
00:58:29So why did you come looking for me?
00:58:31There was already an impossibly wide distance between us
00:58:34That neither of us could cross
00:58:36And I did not want to try crossing it again
00:58:38Go back
00:58:39Ciaran
00:58:40This isn't where you belong
00:58:42Thunder rumbled across the horizon
00:58:44I refused to argue further
00:58:46And turned toward my door
00:58:48The second I reached my room
00:58:49Torrential rain began pouring outside
00:58:51However
00:58:52He still stood motionless in the storm
00:58:55I frowned
00:58:56And was about to pull the curtains closed
00:58:58When someone began pounding frantically on my door
00:59:01It's George
00:59:02Come out quickly
00:59:03A child is missing
00:59:06I immediately joined the search
00:59:08Together with another teacher
00:59:10Miss Lena
00:59:11We hurried through the heavy rain
00:59:12Toward the missing boy Elliot's home
00:59:14The downpour was so heavy
00:59:16We could barely see the path ahead
00:59:18Suddenly
00:59:19Distant rumbling sounds echoed from the mountain valley
00:59:21Miss Lena grabbed my arm
00:59:23Her voice shaking
00:59:24Elise!
00:59:25Did you hear that?
00:59:26That's sound!
00:59:31It's a landslide!
00:59:32We have to turn back!
00:59:33I clenched my teeth and kept running
00:59:35We can't!
00:59:36Elliot is still there!
00:59:39We're almost at his house
00:59:40We have to get him!
00:59:41We exchanged terrified glances
00:59:44But pushed forward
00:59:45Running faster
00:59:46Sure enough
00:59:47We found the trembling Elliot
00:59:49Hiding under the bed
00:59:50Clutching a pile of toys
00:59:51That belonged to his late mother
00:59:53No!
00:59:54I don't want to go!
00:59:56My mum's still here!
00:59:58I'm not leaving without her toys!
01:00:01Tears streamed down his small face
01:00:03As he hugged the toys tighter
01:00:04Elliot
01:00:06Listen to me
01:00:07I promise I'll bring every single one
01:00:09Of your mum's toys back safely
01:00:12But right now
01:00:13You have to go with Miss Lena
01:00:15It's dangerous here
01:00:16You swear?
01:00:17You really promise?
01:00:19I swear
01:00:20Now go!
01:00:21I quickly handed him to Miss Lena
01:00:23Take him and run!
01:00:25Don't stop until you reach high ground!
01:00:27After they disappeared into the rain
01:00:29I grabbed a sack
01:00:30And frantically stuffed all the toys inside
01:00:33Just as I slung the heavy bag over my shoulder
01:00:36The rumbling turned into a deafening roar
01:00:39The landslide exploded through the window
01:00:41In a surge of mud, rock and debris
01:00:45Time froze
01:00:46Terror gripped me
01:00:47My vision was filled only with that murky thick sludge
01:00:50Mixed with broken wood and debris
01:00:52It roared as it poured over the windowsill
01:00:55Like the gates of hell opening wine
01:00:57The putrid, earthy stench
01:00:59Instantly flooded my nostrils
01:01:01My mind went blank
01:01:02No!
01:01:04No!
01:01:04I slumped helplessly against the wall
01:01:07Watching the wave of death crash toward me
01:01:10Just then
01:01:11A massive white wolf burst through the churning mud in caves
01:01:14Lunging straight at me
01:01:16My eyes flew wide open
01:01:18Kieran
01:01:19What are you?
01:01:20The moment he charged in
01:01:22His golden wolf eyes locked onto me with fierce intensity
01:01:25Kieran
01:01:26Deep, urgent growl threw mind link
01:01:28Hold on tight
01:01:29Don't let go
01:01:30With a deep growl
01:01:31He lowered his head
01:01:32And slammed his powerful shoulder into my stomach
01:01:35Lifting me clean off the ground
01:01:37The world spun
01:01:38As he tossed me across his broad back like lovey
01:01:40Kieran!
01:01:41Wait!
01:01:42He barreled toward the wooden door
01:01:44That led to the slope beyond
01:01:45And smashed through it with bone rattling force
01:01:52The door shattered
01:01:53But a sickening crack followed
01:01:55Kieran's entire body jolted violently
01:01:58A muffled, pained groan tore from between his clenched teeth
01:02:02I froze in horror and looked down
01:02:04My heart seemed to stop
01:02:06A jagged wooden shard from the broken frame
01:02:08Had pierced deep into his right side
01:02:11Kieran!
01:02:12Oh God!
01:02:13No!
01:02:14You're hurt!
01:02:14My hands scrambled desperately to the wound
01:02:17Hot, sticky blood instantly soaked my palms
01:02:20Put me down, Kieran, please!
01:02:22You're bleeding too much!
01:02:24Stop!
01:02:24I pressed hard against the gash
01:02:26But nothing could stop the steady rush of crimson pouring out between my fingers
01:02:30Yet Kieran acted as if the pain did not exist
01:02:32He kept charging up the steep slope
01:02:35Powerful muscles straining beneath me
01:02:37Hold on
01:02:39Don't let go
01:02:40I'm getting you out of here
01:02:42The overwhelming mudslide roared behind us
01:02:44Sweeping up trees and boulders like they were nothing
01:02:47Chasing us relentlessly
01:02:48Kieran!
01:02:49You're going to die like this!
01:02:51Please stop!
01:02:52I can run on my own!
01:02:53Kieran!
01:02:54Kieran!
01:02:55He didn't answer
01:02:56His breathing grew heavier
01:02:57But his pace never slowed
01:02:59I didn't know how long it lasted
01:03:01But finally the deafening roar of the landslide faded into the distance
01:03:09We were safe
01:03:10Or so I thought
01:03:11Suddenly
01:03:12The world tilted again
01:03:13Kieran, who had been carrying me
01:03:16Could no longer hold on
01:03:17His massive body collapsed heavily toward the ground
01:03:20But he still carefully protected me in his embrace
01:03:26Just then
01:03:27I heard the sharp roar of a rescue horn echo in the distance
01:03:31I tore off my cloak and waved it frantically
01:03:33Soon after
01:03:34Kieran and I were rushed by carriage to the nearest infirmary
01:03:37Kieran was rushed straight to the healer's emergency room
01:03:40After signing all the forms
01:03:42Exhaustion and shock finally hit me
01:03:45Everything went black
01:03:46When I came to
01:03:47It was already the next day
01:03:49The healer's apprentice looked at me with a heavy sigh and said
01:03:52The treatment was a complete success
01:03:54But due to massive blood loss and an old condition
01:03:57Kieran has fallen into a coma
01:03:59He might wake up tomorrow
01:04:01Or he might never wake up at all
01:04:03My knees buckled
01:04:04I covered my mouth as tears instantly spilled down my face
01:04:08No matter what had happened between us
01:04:10He had saved my life
01:04:11I pushed open the door to his room and sat beside his bed
01:04:15Staring at his unconscious face
01:04:19On the third day, Lucian arrived
01:04:21He looked exhausted
01:04:22And for the first time bowed his head
01:04:24Apologizing before handing me a worn journal
01:04:27After you left
01:04:28Kieran recorded in this with a quill
01:04:30Every single day
01:04:32He wanted to show it to you himself
01:04:34I slowly opened the journal
01:04:36Wolf calendar year 818
01:04:38Month of Thaw
01:04:39Today, Elise and I made it official
01:04:41This journal is her first gift to me
01:04:43I'm so happy
01:04:44I'll treasure her
01:04:46And I'll never let her down
01:04:47For the next three years
01:04:49Every page overflowed with his deep love for me
01:04:51Then the entries stopped after the elders threatened mass suicide
01:04:55Two pages were torn through with massive letters
01:04:57The journal stayed blank for a year and a half
01:05:00The final entries were written after he came looking for me
01:05:03Elise, I'm so sorry
01:05:05I kept asking you to wait just a little longer
01:05:07At first I thought I could finish it quickly
01:05:09But after Tyra was born, my heart started changing
01:05:12I got soft again and again
01:05:14Every moment of weakness
01:05:15Turned into knives stabbing your heart
01:05:18If I hadn't given in that day
01:05:20We could have married
01:05:21Had pups of our own and traveled anywhere you wanted
01:05:23But I know it's too late now
01:05:26I closed the journal
01:05:27Medical staff wheeled Kieran out on a gurney
01:05:30Lucian planned to take him north for better treatment
01:05:33I handed the journal back to Lucian with steady hands
01:05:37If he ever wakes up, please tell him that everything from the past ends here
01:05:41From now on, we're like two parallel lines that will never cross again
01:05:46Elise
01:05:47Are you really sure?
01:05:49After everything he did for you in the landslide?
01:05:51I'm sure
01:05:52My voice was calm and firm
01:05:54Though my throat felt tight
01:05:56Tell him he doesn't owe me anything anymore
01:05:58We're even now
01:06:00This is goodbye
01:06:01Without another glance at Lucian or the unconscious Kieran
01:06:04I turned and walked firmly in the opposite direction
01:06:07I was ready to start my new life
01:06:09This was our final goodbye
01:06:12We would never see each other again
01:06:15Three months had passed since that day
01:06:17I thought I had finally buried the past in this quiet mountain village
01:06:21The children's laughter filled my days
01:06:23And the simple rhythm of grading parchment scrolls under a dim oil lamp
01:06:27Brought me a fragile peace
01:06:29Until that stormy night
01:06:32Frantic knocking shattered the silence
01:06:34Before I could answer
01:06:36The door burst open with a violent bang
01:06:38A tall, blood-soaked figure stumbled in Kieran
01:06:42His healer's linen tunic hung in tatters
01:06:44Bandages across his chest already soaked crimson
01:06:47Rain and blood streaked his face
01:06:49Those once familiar golden eyes
01:06:51Now wild and bloodshot
01:06:52Locked onto me
01:06:53Kieran
01:06:54He didn't speak
01:06:55He staggered forward and dropped heavily to his knees
01:06:58Forehead slamming against the wooden floor with a dull thud
01:07:01I'm sorry
01:07:04Alyssa
01:07:04His voice was raw, broken
01:07:06Repeating over and over
01:07:08As tears mixed with rain and blood dripped onto my feet
01:07:11I stood frozen
01:07:12Ice spreading through my veins
01:07:16He crawled forward on his knees
01:07:18And clutched the hem of my dress like a dying man
01:07:21His burning forehead pressed against my legs
01:07:23I woke up
01:07:24And the first thing I thought of was you
01:07:27I read the journal
01:07:29Every word
01:07:30His voice cracked
01:07:31I was wrong
01:07:32I should have chosen you from the beginning
01:07:34I should have fought the elders
01:07:36The whole pack
01:07:36Everything
01:07:37I never should have made you suffer alone
01:07:39Come back with me
01:07:40I disbanded the council
01:07:42Sevilia and Tyre are gone
01:07:43There's nothing between us anymore
01:07:44I'll give you everything
01:07:45My title
01:07:46My power
01:07:46My life
01:07:47Just
01:07:47Don't leave me
01:07:49Please
01:07:49My heart twisted painfully
01:07:51As his blood soaked through my dress
01:07:53I tried to step back
01:07:55But he rose abruptly
01:07:56And crushed me into his arms
01:07:57His kiss was fierce
01:07:59Tasting of blood
01:08:00Rain
01:08:01And desperate regret
01:08:03He pressed me against the wall
01:08:05Body burning and trembling
01:08:06I love you, Alyssa
01:08:08More than my own life
01:08:09If you won't forgive me
01:08:10Kill me right here
01:08:11Tear out my heart
01:08:12I'd rather die by your hand
01:08:13Than live without you
01:08:15I pushed him away with all my strength
01:08:17My voice shaking but resolute
01:08:19Kieran Wolfe
01:08:20I once loved you enough to die for you
01:08:22But you killed that love
01:08:23Piece by piece
01:08:25Every time you chose them over me
01:08:27Every broken promise
01:08:29Every night I waited in pain
01:08:30It died slowly
01:08:32He staggered back
01:08:33Face deathly pale
01:08:34Blood seeping from reopened wounds
01:08:36I don't hate you anymore
01:08:38I whispered
01:08:39But I will never go back to you
01:08:41Silence swallowed the room
01:08:43Broken only by the rain
01:08:45He knelt again
01:08:46Pressing his forehead to the floor
01:08:47Then let me stay here
01:08:49Let me guard you from afar
01:08:52Even if you never look at me again
01:08:54I only ask to love you for the rest of my life
01:08:57Even if it's one-sided
01:08:58He raised his bloodied hand
01:09:00And swore fiercely under the moon goddess
01:09:04I didn't let him stay
01:09:05That night, after he left
01:09:07I packed what little I had
01:09:09And slipped away from the village before dawn
01:09:11I changed my name
01:09:12Moved to a distant city
01:09:14And built a new life
01:09:15Where no one knew about werewolves
01:09:17Alphas
01:09:18Or broken mates
01:09:19I never saw Kieran again
01:09:20I made sure of it
01:09:24Years passed
01:09:25One rainy autumn evening
01:09:27A letter arrived from the north
01:09:29It was from an old pack member
01:09:31Kieran had been diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer
01:09:35That even his alpha blood couldn't fight
01:09:37He refused every treatment that would keep him alive longer
01:09:40If it meant leaving the village
01:09:42He stayed there, waiting
01:09:44He died quietly at dawn
01:09:46Alone in the same mountain cabin
01:09:48Where he had once knelt before me
01:09:49In his arms they found a worn photograph of me
01:09:52The only one he had kept
01:09:53His fingers were still curled gently around it
01:09:56As if even in death he couldn't let go
01:09:58I read the letter once
01:10:00Then burned it
01:10:02I didn't cry
01:10:03I had already cried all my tears for him years ago
01:10:06Some love
01:10:08No matter how deep
01:10:09Can only end in silence
01:10:12Perhaps this was the mercy we both had
