Forsaken And Barren, The Pure-Blood Luna Is Back - Ep ✅ FULL [Eng Sub]

Transcript

00:00:00I married Alpha Evan out of gratitude. For three years I guarded his pack. Yet Evan never loved me. He

00:00:09marked my sister before the whole pack. Everyone thought my sister was the pureblood Luna. Evan blamed me for being

00:00:16infertile.

00:00:17You're a freak. Everyone mocked the golden-eyed freak, never knowing I was the true Luna heir. When the truth

00:00:24comes out, they will be shocked. Three years since I married Alpha Evan, Alpha Joseph's son. Alpha Joseph died shortly

00:00:32after I married Alpha Evan, and I kept my promise. As long as I remain within his territory, my Luna

00:00:37power automatically forms a protective barrier, warding off all invading rogue werewolves.

00:00:42I love Evan with all my heart and have given everything for him. Yet I have never managed to melt

00:00:47his cold heart. His heart has always belonged to my younger sister, Selina. Even after Selina abandoned him cruelly long

00:00:53ago, he still clings to memories of her. For three years I wrapped the entire pack in my Luna barrier

00:00:58blocking every wave of rogue attacks. I loved him silently, yielded to him every night, and waited patiently for his

00:01:05mark. One day, after our intimacy, I cling to a faint hope.

00:01:10Evan, I've stayed by your side for three years. Won't you give me the mate mark I've always longed for?

00:01:16Three years, and you still can't conceive an heir. You're nothing but a freak with golden eyes. How dare you

00:01:22even beg for my mark?

00:01:23A useless freak? Who do you think has been shielding your pack in silence all these years?

00:01:29Shield my pack. Don't make me laugh. Your wolf power isn't even half as strong as Selina's. A cursed golden

00:01:35-eyed outpiece like you could never hold a candle to her. Stop deluding yourself.

00:01:39Evan leaves without looking back. He saw me as nothing more than a worthless golden-eyed freak, unworthy of his

00:01:45mark, unworthy of a place by his side.

00:01:48He assumed I was weak and decile, too dependent on this pack to ever leave. But his cold indifference killed

00:01:55every last bit of affection in my heart.

00:01:59Luna, Alpha Evan has instructed you to get ready. You are to attend the marking banquet the main mansion tonight.

00:02:05Here is the banquet gown prepared for you.

00:02:07A glimmer of fragile hope stirred in my heart. Perhaps he had only spoken harshly earlier, intending to give me

00:02:12a surprise to finally acknowledge me and bestow his mark upon me.

00:02:16When I stepped into the main hall, champagne roses bloomed everywhere, and a huge banner reading Welcome Pack hung on

00:02:25the wall.

00:02:26Then I saw him, my husband, my mate, my Alpha, holding someone else in his arm. My sister, Selina.

00:02:36Let me make an announcement to everyone here. Today, I will place my exclusive mark upon my one and only

00:02:43mate, Selina.

00:02:45My heart didn't just break. It plunged to a frozen abyss, shattering into a million jagged spards of of ice.

00:02:52If he is marking her, if he is claiming my sister in front of the world, then what am I?

00:03:02The second the words left his lips, I froze on the spot. The roses blooming all through the hall were

00:03:08the very romance I'd never dared to dream of.

00:03:11The grand Welcome Pack banner hanging overhead mocked every foolish hope I'd clung to only moments before.

00:03:17Evan led Selina forward to a stop. Her gown was cut in the exact same style as mine, yet hers

00:03:23was encrust with diamonds, far more lavish by comparison.

00:03:26Evan had humiliated me on purpose, dressing me in an identical design but of far poorer quality.

00:03:32Selina put on a soft, gentle front and spoke to me in fake sweetness.

00:03:36Dear sister, thank you for coming all this way to witness my marking ceremony.

00:03:41I kept my eyes locked on Evan, my voice shaking with held back emotion.

00:03:45Why her? I've sacrificed so much for you. I stayed loyal by your side for three whole years.

00:03:53What good are all your sacrifices? Those eerie eyes of yours repel me, and you can't even bear airs for

00:03:59the pack.

00:03:59You were never half as good as Selina, not then, not now.

00:04:03Evan lifted his hand, brushing it lightly along Selina's neck, then bowed his head to leave his claiming mark on

00:04:09her slowly and tenderly.

00:04:10When the mark was fully set, he slowly raised his eyes, scanning the bustling crowd before his gaze locked firmly

00:04:17on mine.

00:04:18Tears and applause burst out across the hall at once, loud blessings ringing through the air, yet every sound sliced

00:04:24right through my heart like a sharp knife.

00:04:26One of the pack elders stepped up onto the dace. He swept his gaze over the crowd, his tone grave

00:04:30and agmatic.

00:04:31As many of you know, our pack has long kept a secret. Among us lives a she-wolf who carries

00:04:36the rare pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:04:38The question we all wonder is this, who could she be?

00:04:44The pack members broke into quiet murmurs, all guessing who the she-wolf with hidden pure-blood Luna lineage might

00:04:49be.

00:04:50Amid the buzzing whispers, Charlotte, Evan's mother, and the pack's reigning Luna rose slowly from her grand ornate throne atop

00:04:56the dace, carrying herself with unbridled arrogance and authority.

00:04:59There's no need for pointless speculation. It can only be Selina. She boasts exceptional wolf talent and immense innate power.

00:05:07I have always known she is the fated one. I never thought Joseph would act recklessly and force Evan into

00:05:13a marriage with Isabella.

00:05:15A smug smile tugged at Selina's lips. She gave a slight, polite bow.

00:05:20Thank you for your kind praise and recognition, Luna Charlotte.

00:05:23I stepped forward before I could stop myself, holding her gaze straight.

00:05:29What gives you such certainty that it must be Selina?

00:05:32Charlotte let out a mocking laugh, as if I'd told the most absurd joke imaginable.

00:05:36She raked her eyes over me coldly, full of contempt.

00:05:39Could it possibly be you? A freak with unnatural golden eyes, good for nothing.

00:05:45Do you truly think you are worthy of possessing the noble pure-blood Luna lineage?

00:05:50Stop indulging in foolish fantasies.

00:05:52The second her words fell, the whole hall erupted in mocking laughter, thick with scorn and disdain.

00:05:58I turned to Evan, clinging to a faint hope that he would stand up for me, that he would grant

00:06:04me even the smallest bit of fairness.

00:06:06But Evan made no move to defend me at all.

00:06:09His expression turned icy instead, his voice laced with revulsion.

00:06:13You would do best to leave the ceremony of your own accord.

00:06:17Staying here will only bring you further shame and make a public fool of yourself.

00:06:23If you refuse to go, you may tend to the guests in the kitchen and keep to yourself quietly.

00:06:31Evan's cold, dismissive words cut straight through me, sharp and biting to the bone.

00:06:36Every eye in the room lingered only on Selina, bright with anticipation.

00:06:40It was as if everyone already took it for granted, that her so-called Luna divine power would lead Evan's

00:06:47pack to new prosperity.

00:06:49I'd borne endless humiliation for far too long, endured endless scorn and mockery from those around me.

00:06:54All the grief and resentment I'd kept locked inside finally spilled over.

00:06:58The true bearer of the pure-blood Luna Tinergy is not...

00:07:02Selina.

00:07:04It has always been me.

00:07:05The hall burst into mocking laughter once again.

00:07:08Charlotte doubled over, clutching her stomach, mocking me without restraint.

00:07:12Evan and Selina shared a disdainful smirk, dismissing my words as ridiculous ravings.

00:07:19Have you lost your senses?

00:07:22How dare a golden-eyed freak like you claim the pure-blood Luna lineage for yourself?

00:07:30Evan's brows drew tight, his tone sharp and unforgiving.

00:07:35Isabella, are you spouting nonsense out of jealousy now that I've marked Selina?

00:07:40Stop making a fool of yourself.

00:07:42No one in the room believed a word I said.

00:07:45Their jails pricked my heart like a thousand needles.

00:07:48Staring at their hypocritical, ugly faces, I only felt cold amusement and chose not to explain myself any further.

00:07:54When I fell quiet, the crowd quickly lost interest in me, turning their full attention back to Selina.

00:07:59Evan slipped an arm around her waist, his fingers brushing lightly over the fresh mark on her neck.

00:08:04From this day forward, Selina's Luna divine power will shield our pack and keep us safe and at peace.

00:08:14When she saw I still hadn't moved an inch, the smug look on Selina's face faded a little,

00:08:19replaced by impatience and haughty condescension in her tone.

00:08:23Dear sister, if you know what's best for yourself, gather your things and leave for home at once.

00:08:29Father is waiting for you there.

00:08:31Don't linger here and ruin everyone's celebration.

00:08:33I stood perfectly still, my expression unchanging,

00:08:37merely staring back at her with quiet indifference.

00:08:39I am keeping my oath to Alpha Joseph by remaining here to watch over Evan's pack.

00:08:44I will not leave until my three-year vow is fulfilled.

00:08:48The smile on Selina's face frozen instantly, then twisted into a cold, calculating smirk.

00:08:53She stepped half a step nearer and lowered her voice, letting only me hear her words.

00:08:57A vow?

00:08:59Sister, you're far too naive.

00:09:01Evan's pack has never needed your protection, nor will it ever accept a golden-eyed freak like you.

00:09:06Today, I'll make sure you're driven out of this place for good.

00:09:09The moment she finished speaking, she lurched backwards suddenly, her legs giving way as she crumpled heavily to the floor.

00:09:14She pressed her hands to the corners of her eyes and raised her voice sharply, letting it ring out across

00:09:19the entire hall.

00:09:20Sister, I know you're jealous of me, but you have no right to push me like this!

00:09:25I hadn't shifted a single step from where I stood.

00:09:28The cheering in the hall died away in an instant.

00:09:31Every pair of eyes fixed on us both filled with disdain, accusation, and the cold dislatchment of onlookers ready to

00:09:37watch a spectacle unfold.

00:09:38Evan rushed over at once, lifting Selina gently into his arms and holding her close in a protective embrace.

00:09:43He shot me an icy glare, rage blazing in his eyes.

00:09:48Isabella, you've crossed every line!

00:09:50From this day on, I formally disavow you and cast you out of the pack.

00:09:53You are forbidden from ever stepping foot on our territory for the rest of your life!

00:10:00I stayed rooted to the spot as Evan glared at me like he could kill with his eyes, the air

00:10:05between us turning icy cold.

00:10:07I didn't hurt Selina.

00:10:09She fell on her own.

00:10:11Evan leaned down to strope Selina's back gently, then looked up again,

00:10:15his rage so intense it felt like it could burn me to the ground.

00:10:18Do you really think I'd believe the lies of a golden-eyed freak like you?

00:10:22Selina just got my mark, and she's still weak.

00:10:25How dare you touch her?

00:10:26Charlotte stepped up beside Evan, her eyes dripping with even more disdain, her voice sharp enough to cut.

00:10:32Isabella, you still won't admit what you did.

00:10:36Your excuses only make you more disgusting.

00:10:38A filthy creature like you belong locked up in the dungeon.

00:10:41Evan pulled Selina behind him, unleashing his overwhelming alpha aura in a heartbeat.

00:10:47I see pressure washing over the entire hall.

00:10:49He started the formal mate rejection right there in front of everyone.

00:10:52No trace of regret in his eyes, only pure coldness and contempt.

00:10:56I, Evan, reject you as my mate.

00:10:58I lifted my eyes to meet his gaze, my voice as calm as a frozen lake.

00:11:02I accept your rejection.

00:11:04The mate bond snapped suddenly, a searing, tearing pain shooting through every part of my body.

00:11:08The agony of the bond breaking hit first, and then tears slipped silently down my cheeks.

00:11:12The mate bond that had held us together for three years was breaking apart, fading little by little, each piece

00:11:17throbbing with a dull ache.

00:11:19But none of that pain came close to the cold emptiness in my chest.

00:11:22I curled my fingers tight, nails digging deep into my palms, forcing myself to bear the searing agony.

00:11:27You can't bear airs.

00:11:28The worst shame an alpha could ever face.

00:11:31Selima's nothing like you.

00:11:32She carries the pure-blood Luna Linerage, and only she's worthy of standing by my side, bearing my strongest pups,

00:11:40and leading the pack to greater glory.

00:11:45Selima leaned comfortably in Evan's arms, her eyes glinting with a taunting edge, as she stared at my disheveled state.

00:11:53Sister, why are you still standing here?

00:11:56If I were you, I'd hurry up and pack my things to leave.

00:11:59Don't linger here, being a bother.

00:12:02Watching them throw jabs back and forth, their contempt plain as day, my mind wandered back to a memory from

00:12:07long ago, of being rescued.

00:12:09Out on the frozen plains, caught in wind and snow, I lay wounded and gave me a second chance.

00:12:14It was Joseph he told me I carried an extremely rare, pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:12:19Later, on his deathbed, he held my hand tight, his gaze earnest, as he begged me to protect Evan and

00:12:26his pack with everything I had.

00:12:27Joseph, look at what's become of us.

00:12:29For three years, I've guarded your pack faithfully, warding off rogue attacks this entire time.

00:12:35I've even quietly nourished the pack lands with my Luna energy, making them stronger and more thriving with each passing

00:12:40day.

00:12:41Yet now, your own son chases me away.

00:12:44I've seen his true colors clearly.

00:12:46He's never been worth my protection.

00:12:47In that moment, the last bit of gratitude I'd felt for Joseph vanished completely.

00:12:52I'd kept my promise, and my debt was paid in full.

00:12:55Evan, after these three years, I owe you nothing.

00:12:59And I owe your pack nothing, either.

00:13:01I only hope you never come to regret this day.

00:13:04Evan let out a scoff of disbelief, looking away from me in disgust, his tone again and dismissal.

00:13:10Regret?

00:13:11Cutting loose a burden like you is the smartest thing I've ever done.

00:13:14Now get out of my sight.

00:13:16Now.

00:13:16The mate bond shattered entirely, not a single thread of connection left between us.

00:13:20Just then, Evan's brows fronted sharply, his alpha aura tensing up in an instant.

00:13:25Many pack members looked up, too, their expressions on edge.

00:13:28A faint yet thick rustling sound drifted from the edge of the manor, low and menacing.

00:13:32It was the sound of rogues closing in, hundreds of miles away and closing fast.

00:13:38Little did they know, with me rejected and cast out, my all-encompassing luna protection barrier had vanished, completely.

00:13:46The feral rogues I'd held back, kept at bay for three long years, were now charging straight for their borders

00:13:53in droves.

00:13:54And now that I'm gone, how will a weak alpha, paired with a fake mate who has no true luna

00:14:00power at all, defend this pack against thousands of bloodthirsty rogues?

00:14:07Get to the pack perimeter now and check out that noise.

00:14:10Waste any time, and you'll pay with your lives.

00:14:14Yes, sir.

00:14:17You're scared, Evan.

00:14:19This is what happens when you reject me.

00:14:21The rogues are closing in.

00:14:22Spare me your empty threats and delusional garbage.

00:14:24I formerly banished you.

00:14:26Know your place and leave.

00:14:27My pack hasn't seen a rogue in years.

00:14:29Do you really think you can curse us?

00:14:31You're just spouting nonsense out of spite for being cast aside, trying to stir up trouble.

00:14:35Exactly.

00:14:36Isabella, you can't stand being thrown out, so you want to curse our pack?

00:14:39I see your true colors now.

00:14:41You're cruel to the core.

00:14:42If the rogues really come, you'll be the first one they grab.

00:14:45Let's see who's there to protect you then.

00:14:47Watching their hypocritical, colliding faces, I felt nothing but cold amusement.

00:14:51There was no point in wasting another word on them.

00:14:54I'd kept my promise, settled all scores.

00:14:56No reason to linger in this repulsive place any longer, putting up with their endless mockery and disdain.

00:15:02But the second I took a step to leave, Charlotte rushed over and cut me off.

00:15:05Hold it right there.

00:15:07You're not going anywhere.

00:15:10Isabella, Evans formally marked Selina, and the pack's true Luna is now in her rightful place.

00:15:14It's time you hand over that emblem.

00:15:16This sacred treasure, a symbol of the pack's glory, has no business resting on a freak like you.

00:15:21Exactly.

00:15:22Such a precious relic can't be tainted by someone unworthy.

00:15:25It belongs to me, the one who carries the pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:15:29Lady Luna Charlotte, I can feel the power in this emblem calling to me.

00:15:33Could it be, is the hidden pure-blood Luna lineage inside me finally waking up?

00:15:37Do you really believe that's what's happening, Selina?

00:15:40It has to be true.

00:15:42Only a noble, pure, silver-eyed werewolf is worthy of wearing this emblem.

00:15:46Not like some outscat who's clung to a sacred relic for years, can't even bear an heir, and wastes its

00:15:51power for nothing.

00:16:15Only those with true Luna blood can bear this emblem.

00:16:17A fake like you will never be worthy of it.

00:16:23Isabella, did you do this?

00:16:26Did you use witchcraft to control the aelum and hurt me on purpose?

00:16:29You cruel bitch!

00:16:30You just can't stand to see me happy!

00:16:35Isabella, you've gone too far.

00:16:37Pushing her wasn't enough, so you stooped to dirty tricks with dark witchcraft to hurt her again?

00:16:42How low can you get?

00:16:44His voice held a desperate urgency I'd never heard from him before.

00:16:47His fingers brushed gently around the burning wound on Selina's chest, his touch impossibly tender and careful.

00:16:54The very tenderness I'd stayed by his side for three years, craving, yet never once getting.

00:16:59I'd never sink that low.

00:17:00I'd never degrade myself by using such vile garbage as witchcraft.

00:17:04I finally got it.

00:17:05It wasn't that he couldn't be tender.

00:17:07It was just that his tenderly was never meant for me.

00:17:09Why?

00:17:11You wore this emblem for three years and never had a single problem.

00:17:15Why does it hurt Selina the second she touches it?

00:17:18Could it be...

00:17:20Could you be the real pure-blood Luna after all?

00:17:26Everyone froze, their eyes turning straight to me, filled with shock, doubt, and utter disbelief.

00:17:31No, it can't be.

00:17:34Evan, she only grew used to the emblem's aura from wearing it for so long.

00:17:38She is never the true pure-blood Luna heir.

00:17:41She must have cast witchcraft on the emblem beforehand to hurt me on purpose.

00:17:47Evan, do not let your mind wander.

00:17:49It is all Isabella's doing.

00:17:51Out of jealousy towards Selina, she schemed in secret, making the emblem harm Selina to confuse everyone's judgment.

00:17:58This outcast has a vicious heart.

00:18:04Do you really think I'd believe some golden-eyed freak is the true Luna heir?

00:18:08Ridiculous.

00:18:08You're just a petty, useless outcast begging for a title you don't deserve.

00:18:11Now get out and don't dare tarnish them, Selina, with your presence.

00:18:14Stop loitering here and getting in the way.

00:18:16Leave the main packhouse at once and never show your face to us again.

00:18:19Listening to these absurdly absurd accusations, I finally let out a cold laugh.

00:18:23There was no warmth in it at all.

00:18:25Carry all the forbearance and heartbreak of these three years.

00:18:32I walked out of the main packhouse step by step.

00:18:35Three years of protection had only earned me betrayal, blame, and banishment.

00:18:39Even the last trace of hope in my heart was completely shattered.

00:18:43I pushed open the door to my home.

00:18:45Live room done was dent.

00:18:46And my father Marcus sat on the sofa with a cigarette between his fingers, undisguised mockery in his eyes.

00:18:52He lifted his gaze to me at the sound of footsteps.

00:18:55What happened?

00:18:56Driven back in disgrace after Evan broke your mate bond?

00:18:59I always knew a freak with strange eyes like you could never hold an alpha's heart, nor deserve the position

00:19:04of Luna.

00:19:05He took a good rag from his cigarette and exhaled the smoke slowly.

00:19:08Fortunately, I have two daughters.

00:19:10Selina is far more promising than you.

00:19:12Now that Evan has marked her, she will soon become the pack's Luna and bring me endless glory.

00:19:17Unlike you, born with those unlucky golden eyes, never able to succeed at anything since childhood.

00:19:22When I was young, Selina was always the only one seen on the pack training grounds.

00:19:26Father claimed silver eyes stood for pure lineage, and only Selina deserved formal training.

00:19:31I could only hide in the corner, watching them laugh and rejoice.

00:19:35I possessed the very power they valued, yet no one ever taught me how to wield it.

00:19:38With time, everyone came to see me as a powerless, useless nobody.

00:19:42Not even my father had ever truly looked at me with kindness.

00:19:45Marcus stood up and walked before me, looking down at me from above.

00:19:49There was no trace of fatherly affection in his eyes, only cold calculation.

00:19:53Now that Evan has cast you aside, you have no more use left.

00:19:56I raised you all these years.

00:19:57I cannot keep feeding you for nothing.

00:19:59I have sold you to a crude, low-rank werewolf from the black market.

00:20:03Though he is poor and unculturated, he is willing to borrow a large sump to buy you.

00:20:09Father, what are you saying?

00:20:11Sell me?

00:20:12I refuse.

00:20:13Refuse?

00:20:14What right do you have?

00:20:16You cannot even bear children.

00:20:17Not qualified enough to be a breeder.

00:20:20What good are you besides being sold off?

00:20:25Father, selling someone of my lineage will bring you retribution.

00:20:29Retribution?

00:20:30All I know is keeping you is a waste of food.

00:20:32Selling you brings real profit.

00:20:33Where is any retribution?

00:20:34I clenched my fists, my voice shaking with a screed and defiance as I met his gaze directly.

00:20:38Part of the money from selling you to buy Selina top-class gown.

00:20:41Dressed in fine luxury, Evan will love her even more.

00:20:43To buy a dress for Selina.

00:20:45To win her Evan's affection.

00:20:46My own father was willing to cast me straight into hell.

00:20:48He called out toward the door, and two tall pack members stepped inside.

00:20:52Seize her and lock her in a cage.

00:20:53Do not let her escape.

00:20:54Deliver her to the black market at dawn morrow.

00:20:55They grabbed my arms roughly, gripped so tight it felt as though they would crush my bones.

00:20:59I struggled in vain, and shock faded completely into icy despair in my heart.

00:21:03In the storeroom, a cold iron cage already waited.

00:21:06They shoved me inside and slammed the lock shut.

00:21:08The faint golden glow in my eyes grew brighter.

00:21:11I held the strength of a pure-blood Luna, yet I was treated as worthless cargo to be sold off.

00:21:16Never given the chance to unleash my power.

00:21:18Dawn had barely broken when footsteps echoed outside.

00:21:21I lifted my head to see Evan standing at the storage room entrance with Selina in his arms.

00:21:25Selina stepped forward to peer through the iron bars, her tone dripping with feigned sympathy and hypocrisy.

00:21:29Sister, I have no choice.

00:21:31It is father's decision.

00:21:32I tried to persuade him, but he would not listen.

00:21:35Just resign yourself to being a slave.

00:21:37I will serve well as the Pax Luna from now on.

00:21:39Solidify my position, and live up to everyone's expectations.

00:21:43Marrying you in the first place was nothing but my father's momentary foolishness.

00:21:46Foolish enough to treasure an outcast like you.

00:21:48Looking back, breaking our mate bond in time was the wisest choice I ever made.

00:21:51With that, he turned to Selina beside him and stroked her hair gently.

00:21:55The very tenderness I had longed for countless times.

00:21:58Yet in this moment, watching the scene unfold, I felt nothing at all.

00:22:02No sorrow, no resentment, only utter emptiness and calm.

00:22:06My three years of devotion had long worn away under his endless cruelty and prejudice.

00:22:11I even found it laughable that I had once held any hope for such a cold, selfish man.

00:22:15Evan lowered his head to brush her hair fondly and was about to speak,

00:22:19and a pack member rushed inside in a panic, his voice trembling.

00:22:22Alpha Evan, disaster.

00:22:24Several pack members have been found dead at the territory border,

00:22:26their bodies reeking of strong rogue scent.

00:22:28The tenderness on Evan's face vanished in an instant.

00:22:31His expression turned taut, filled with disbelief.

00:22:34What?

00:22:34Rogues?

00:22:35No rogues have ever come near our borders in three years.

00:22:38How could our people be killed all of a sudden?

00:22:40He frowned deeply, his gaze slowly falling on me as he looked me up and down.

00:22:44A flicker of doubt and disbelief crossed his eyes, his tone tentative.

00:22:48Could it be the reason no rogues drew near all these years was because of you?

00:22:53Was that the real reason my father Joseph insisted you stay by my side?

00:22:58The moment Selina heard this, she clung tightly to Evan's arm,

00:23:02eager to quiet his doubts and turn all blame onto me.

00:23:05Evan, do not entertain such foolish thoughts.

00:23:07How could it ever be her?

00:23:08She is nothing but a useless freak with strange eyes.

00:23:11What great power could she possibly possess?

00:23:14She must hold a grudge after you rejected her and father sold her away.

00:23:18She lured the rogues here on purpose to get revenge and destroy our pack.

00:23:22The doubt in his eyes faded completely, replaced by deeper loathing and rage.

00:23:26You are right.

00:23:27How could I ever believe an outcast holds such great power?

00:23:30It was you who lured the rogues here out of spite, getting our own people killed.

00:23:33His voice turned icy, and killing intact blazed in his eyes.

00:23:36I am heading to deal with the murders at the border now.

00:23:39I will settle this score with you when I return.

00:23:42Selling you to the black market is far too lenient.

00:23:45By rights, a vicious outwrit like you deserves hanging to comfort the souls of the fallen pack members.

00:23:49With that, he did not spare me another glance.

00:23:52Wrapping an arm around Selina's waist, he turned and left quickly,

00:23:55his footsteps fading away, leaving me alone in the cold iron cage.

00:23:59I curled up on the cage floor and stared toward the door.

00:24:01Evan, you will regret this.

00:24:03Before long, two pack members hurried over.

00:24:06They roughly unlocked the cage, grabbed my arms, and dragged me out of the storage room,

00:24:10shoving me into an old transport vehicle.

00:24:12After an endless ride, the vehicle finally came to a stop,

00:24:15and the door swung open, flooding the space with harsh sunlight.

00:24:18I was dragged out and thrown onto the ground.

00:24:20This place was the black market for low-rank werewolf trades,

00:24:23filled with females sold as breeders, outcasts auctioned off as slaves,

00:24:27every face etched with numbness and despair.

00:24:28I had no idea who would buy me next, nor what cruel fate awaited me.

00:24:34Two pack members pressed down hard on my shoulders, forcing me forward unsteadily.

00:24:38Soon they stopped and pushed me before a man.

00:24:40Sebastian, we have brought the girl to you.

00:24:42Marcus instructed us to hand her over personally.

00:24:44The man lifted his eyes slightly, saying nothing at first,

00:24:47only looking me over with a cold, emotionless expression.

00:24:50He wore rough, tattered clothes faded from wear with several tears here and there.

00:24:54Yet his frame was broad and powerful, his shoulders as solid as a wall.

00:24:57His features were sharp and stern, his jawline tight with shovel lining his jaw.

00:25:00A wild, unapproachable aura clung to him, giving him a down-broughten yet dominazing air.

00:25:04Rest assured, she is untouched.

00:25:08Only she failed to bear an air for Alpha Evan.

00:25:11Be quiet.

00:25:13His voice was deep and horsey with a rough edge, impatience clear in his tone.

00:25:17The pack member flinched in fright, bowed quickly and retreated.

00:25:20Only the two of us remained.

00:25:22He said nothing, simply looking down at me with an unnerving calm.

00:25:25No greed, no judgment, only unyielding dominance.

00:25:29Let go of me!

00:25:30Sebastian glanced down at my reddened wrist,

00:25:32loosening his grip slightly yet still refusing to release me.

00:25:35Save your words.

00:25:36Just come with me.

00:25:39Up close, I saw his eyes held unfathomable depth,

00:25:42hiding a quiet restraint and an innate nobility beneath his rough exterior.

00:25:46Even in ragged clothes covered in dust,

00:25:48his hidden sharp aroma could not be concealed.

00:25:50Somehow, the moment he touched my wrist,

00:25:52the werewolf's spiritual power inside me stirred restlessly.

00:25:56Heat spread through my veins to every corner of my body,

00:26:00making my breath quick up uncontrollably.

00:26:04The wolf inside me roared wildly,

00:26:07its cry echoing clearly and urgently in my heart.

00:26:09I pushed down the swirling confusion and flutter in my chest

00:26:13and followed him silently forward, uncertain of what lay ahead.

00:26:16The car traveled for a long time before finally stopping outside a plain wooden cottage.

00:26:20It was not large, even simple in design, yet spotlessly clean.

00:26:23Even the weeds in the yard were neatly trimmed.

00:26:25A stark contrast to his rough hawked around to my side and steadabled me gently.

00:26:29His touch was soft and restrained,

00:26:31nothing like his brusque manner earlier.

00:26:33I looked up at him, my confusion deepening.

00:26:36All that roughness and coldness had truly been nothing but a mask he wore at the black market.

00:26:40Beneath it lay unexpected gentleness,

00:26:42leaving me utterly unable to read him.

00:26:45I followed him inside.

00:26:47The furnishings were simple,

00:26:48only a wooden sofa, a dining table, and two closed doors.

00:26:51Yet everything was immaculate and orderly,

00:26:53the table polished bright enough to see one's reflection.

00:26:56It was clear the place was carefully tended.

00:26:58I stood frozen, thinking to myself,

00:27:00now that he has bought me from the black market,

00:27:02I am his property after all.

00:27:04I ought to learn to wait on him and tend to his needs.

00:27:09Let me take your coat for you.

00:27:10It is covered in dust.

00:27:12No need.

00:27:13The moment my fingertips brushed the hem of his coat,

00:27:16Sebastian stepped back intinctively, evading my touch.

00:27:20I pulled my hand back,

00:27:21a trace of disappointment settling in my heart,

00:27:24unable to understand why he treated me with such cold distance.

00:27:30I...

00:27:31I want to do something for you.

00:27:33I can't idle around all day.

00:27:35Sebastian glanced up at me,

00:27:37his tone cold and distant.

00:27:39There's nothing you need to do.

00:27:41Just stay by my side at night.

00:27:43I've already arranged a maid to look after you.

00:27:45My heart sank immediately.

00:27:46We were bound by blood,

00:27:47faded mates,

00:27:48yet he only saw me as someone to warm his bed and satisfy his desires.

00:27:52He treated me even worse than Evan ever did.

00:27:54Just then,

00:27:54a slim young girl stepped out of one of the rooms.

00:27:56She had sharp,

00:27:57unrigally eyes,

00:27:58and her hair tied in a neat ponytail.

00:27:59The moment she laid eyes on me,

00:28:01her expression turned icy.

00:28:02She frowned openly,

00:28:03looking unimpressed,

00:28:04her voice edged with sarcasm.

00:28:06Brother,

00:28:06is this the girl you tried so hard to buy?

00:28:09She looks plain,

00:28:10skinny,

00:28:11and those golden eyes are a freak.

00:28:14What's so special about her that you'd go all out?

00:28:18Ella,

00:28:20watch your tone.

00:28:21Ella pouted,

00:28:22shot me a sharp glare,

00:28:24said nothing else,

00:28:25then turned and slammed her door shut,

00:28:27clearly resentful.

00:28:31At that moment,

00:28:32Maid Clara walked over with a glass of water.

00:28:34She stopped as soon as she saw me

00:28:36and gave a respectful slight bow.

00:28:39Miss,

00:28:40my name is Clara.

00:28:43I'll be your maid

00:28:44and take care of your daily needs.

00:28:46For the next week,

00:28:47Sebastian left early and returned late.

00:28:50Every night,

00:28:51he would be intimate with me,

00:28:53possessive,

00:28:53yet always keeping an emotional distance.

00:28:57Could it be that in his eyes,

00:28:58I would never be worth genuine care,

00:29:00never worthy of being his rightful mate?

00:29:05Lately,

00:29:06my werewolf powers had been acting strange.

00:29:09My monthly spiritual cycle was long overdue.

00:29:12Sebastian remained secretive,

00:29:15never letting anyone know where he went during the day.

00:29:18His nightly closeness felt deliberately detached.

00:29:22The huge wooden house always felt empty without him.

00:29:26Loneliness coiling around me like creeping vines.

00:29:29Restless,

00:29:30I turned on the PAC News channel.

00:29:32One news report made me race felt made me freeze on the spot.

00:29:36Reporter,

00:29:37Marcus of the Blood Moon TAC died mysteriously at home last week.

00:29:41No visible wounds were found on his body,

00:29:43and the cause of death remains unknown.

00:29:45Alpha Evan has ordered a full investigation,

00:29:48with no new leads released so far.

00:29:50I stared at Marcus' photo on screen,

00:29:52tightening my grip on the remote.

00:29:54I felt a twinge of conflict inside,

00:29:57but mostly quiet relief.

00:29:59Father,

00:30:00you brought this on yourself.

00:30:02You sold me off like merchandise-y without a second thought,

00:30:06ignored me completely,

00:30:07and treated Selena and me nothing alike.

00:30:09What happened to you now is your own fault.

00:30:12No one else is to blame.

00:30:14Right after I spoke,

00:30:16a wave of sudden nausea rushed up my throat.

00:30:18I clamped a hand over my mouth

00:30:21and rushed to the bathroom,

00:30:22throwing up,

00:30:23feeling weak all over.

00:30:24Clara happened to bring fruit by

00:30:26and hurried over to steady me.

00:30:28Miss,

00:30:29are you all right?

00:30:30You look unwell.

00:30:31I'll go fetch a healer right away.

00:30:33Please hold on.

00:30:34I nodded weakly.

00:30:36Soon,

00:30:37Clara returned with a werewolf physician.

00:30:39There's no need to worry.

00:30:41You're perfectly healthy physically.

00:30:42The nausea,

00:30:43vomiting,

00:30:44and unstable spiritual energy

00:30:45are all symptoms of pregnancy.

00:30:47I stared at the physician in shock.

00:30:50The woman Evan mocked as Behrend,

00:30:52the one my own father dismissed

00:30:53as unfit to bear offspring,

00:30:55was now carrying a child.

00:30:58My mind was in chaos.

00:31:00I tried reaching Sebastian

00:31:01through the werewolf mind link,

00:31:03hoping to tell him quietly I was pregnant.

00:31:05But no matter how I sent my thoughts,

00:31:07there was only silence from his side.

00:31:09No reply at all.

00:31:14I was growing anxious

00:31:15when a messenger from Werewolf Academy

00:31:17arrived at the door,

00:31:18clearly flustered.

00:31:23Is Mr. Sebastian home?

00:31:25Miss Ella got into a fight

00:31:26at the youth training camp

00:31:27and hurt another student.

00:31:28The school is asking for a family member

00:31:29to come sort this out immediately.

00:31:31Sebastian was still nowhere to be found,

00:31:33and the mind link still wouldn't connect.

00:31:35I was the one he'd bought at the black market.

00:31:38With no one else available,

00:31:39I had no choice but to go in his place

00:31:41and settle the dispute at the academy.

00:31:47Werewolf Academy stood on neutral land,

00:31:49independent of any pack,

00:31:51where young werewolves from all clans

00:31:53came to train and study.

00:31:55I drove to the academy alone.

00:31:58In the distance,

00:31:59I saw Ella being lectured

00:32:00by a middle-aged woman

00:32:01whose back was turned to me.

00:32:04Ella and another boy

00:32:05were called into the dean's office.

00:32:08I walked over to speak to the woman.

00:32:09There's no need to embarrass a pup like this.

00:32:11We can talk this over calmly.

00:32:13When I got a clear look at her face,

00:32:14I realized it was Evan's aunt,

00:32:16Martha.

00:32:17Martha looked me up and down slowly,

00:32:19her gaze full of contempt,

00:32:20her tone sharp and cut.

00:32:22Well, look who decided to show up.

00:32:24Kicked out of your pack,

00:32:26sold to the black market

00:32:26by your own father,

00:32:27and now you live like a nobody.

00:32:31How dare you meddle

00:32:32in our family's business?

00:32:36I met her gaze

00:32:37without an ounce of timeliness.

00:32:39My life is none of your business.

00:32:41Even after being sold,

00:32:42I've restooped as low as you,

00:32:44lambing onto your pack power,

00:32:45bullying the weak

00:32:46and picking on a pup in public.

00:32:49Martha's face turned dark,

00:32:51firing back without remorse.

00:32:52Me bullying her?

00:32:54Ella started it.

00:32:56She had tapped my son Jack first.

00:32:58Am I allowed to discipline her?

00:33:01I knew very well Jack had always been arrogant

00:33:04and dominant in Evan's territory,

00:33:06always picking on the weaker students

00:33:08and never stayed out of trouble.

00:33:10Ella is quiet by nature

00:33:12and never picks fights for no reason.

00:33:14She only lashed out because your son

00:33:16mocked and provoked her first.

00:33:18Left lost for words by my reply,

00:33:20Martha flew into a rage,

00:33:22dropping all pretend of politeness

00:33:24and raising her hand to slap me.

00:33:28I blocked her instinctively.

00:33:30The moment our hands touched,

00:33:32a powerful and invisible divine force

00:33:34purged out of me,

00:33:36pinning her rigidly face,

00:33:37unable to move a muscle.

00:33:40I was stunned myself,

00:33:42never expecting to suddenly awaken such power.

00:33:45Deep inside me,

00:33:47my wolf spirit spoke.

00:33:48Mistress,

00:33:49it is your pregnancy.

00:33:51The life growing inside you

00:33:53has fully awakened

00:33:53your dormant ancient lunar bloodline.

00:33:55Your divine power

00:33:56will only grow stronger from here on.

00:34:00I stood there completely dumbfounded.

00:34:06Trapped by my power,

00:34:08Martha stared at me in utter disbelief.

00:34:11What?

00:34:11You've never had formal werewolf training?

00:34:14A discarded outcast sold at the black market.

00:34:19How can...

00:34:20How can you wield such powerful divine magic?

00:34:25Just then,

00:34:26a cold, familiar voice came from behind me.

00:34:29I turned slowly to see Evan walking toward me.

00:34:32Selina clung tightly to his side,

00:34:34dressed in an elegant gown with perfect makeup,

00:34:36her eyes glinting with quiet amusement at the scene.

00:34:39Evan fixed me with a cold, stern look.

00:34:42Isabella?

00:34:43You've grown far too bold.

00:34:46How dare you lay hands on my aunt?

00:34:48You've lost all sense of manners and decency.

00:34:52Our mate bond was broken long ago.

00:34:54We have nothing left between us.

00:34:56Martha has always treated me with malice and scorn,

00:34:59and now she bullies a pup unjustly.

00:35:01I owe her no respect whatsoever.

00:35:02Evan scanned my plain, simple clothes from head to toe,

00:35:06his eyes filled with disdain.

00:35:08After being sold to the black market,

00:35:10you've become crude and reckless.

00:35:12Your manners are gone,

00:35:13you're dressed plain and shabby.

00:35:15Not a trace of your old poise remains.

00:35:17Beside him,

00:35:18Selina put on a soft, gentle act,

00:35:21pretending to mediate

00:35:22while secretly stirring up trouble.

00:35:24Evan, don't let this upset you.

00:35:26Sister has fallen so far now.

00:35:28Her judgment and grace are long gone.

00:35:31There's no need to argue with her.

00:35:32Evan frowned,

00:35:33stepping aside to avoid the crowd's gaze,

00:35:35then spoke to me in a low voice.

00:35:36Come with me,

00:35:37I need to talk to you privately.

00:35:39I followed him aside,

00:35:41growing impatient,

00:35:42wondering what he wanted now.

00:35:44Instead of answering right away,

00:35:45he leaned in and breathed in the scent of my hair.

00:35:48I've missed you a lot lately.

00:35:50His eyes lingered greedily on my neck

00:35:52as his hand drifted restlessly to my waist.

00:35:54I turned my head away to avoid him.

00:35:57Isabella,

00:35:57I miss being with you.

00:35:59Being with Selina,

00:36:00it's nothing compared to you.

00:36:02He almost sounded wronged,

00:36:03as if I owed him something.

00:36:04Then his tone turned cold

00:36:05as he mentioned the man who'd bought me,

00:36:07seething with jealousy

00:36:08at the thought of me

00:36:08belonging to a rough nobody.

00:36:10He stepped closer and lowered his voice.

00:36:11Come back and be my mistress.

00:36:12I'll give you mansions,

00:36:13jewels,

00:36:14silk gowns,

00:36:16everything Selina has,

00:36:17you'll have,

00:36:17and more.

00:36:18I looked at his desperate,

00:36:20prideful act

00:36:20and suddenly laughed.

00:36:24Even if he had nothing at all,

00:36:26he's still better than you.

00:36:27That one sentence

00:36:28made his face burn red,

00:36:30as if I'd slapped him in public.

00:36:32I'd struck his fragile ego,

00:36:34thin as eggshell.

00:36:36Just then,

00:36:36Selina walked over from a distance,

00:36:38eyeing us suspiciously

00:36:39and asking what we were talking about.

00:36:42I shook my head and said nothing,

00:36:44but as several werewolves walked past,

00:36:46I deliberately raised my voice.

00:36:47There's something everyone should know.

00:36:49Evan is infertile.

00:36:54Evan spun around,

00:36:56glaring at me sharply.

00:36:57His wolf pupil slitted with rage

00:36:58and embarrassment,

00:36:59his face draining of color.

00:37:00The passing werewolves stopped and watched,

00:37:02whispering and slurkering,

00:37:04their mocking eyes burning into Evan.

00:37:06Selina froze on the spot,

00:37:08her smile fading instantly.

00:37:10She stared at Evan in shock and doubt.

00:37:12Studying his flustered expression closely,

00:37:15I stayed calm and composed,

00:37:18gently placing one hand over my stomach,

00:37:20my tone steady and unyielding.

00:37:22I'm pregnant.

00:37:24You're delirious.

00:37:26There's no way you could be pregnant.

00:37:28I looked on indifferently,

00:37:29no longer bothering to explain myself.

00:37:32Believe it or not,

00:37:34I don't owe anyone an explanation.

00:37:36Martha stepped forward at once with a sneer.

00:37:38Pregnant or not,

00:37:40it's still just some low-class,

00:37:42werewolf's bastard child.

00:37:44Selina quickly agreed,

00:37:46her tone sharp and full of scorn.

00:37:49Exactly.

00:37:50Nothing to be proud of.

00:37:52She reeks of common werewolf aura.

00:37:56I leaned forward slightly,

00:37:58breathing in subtly when near the three of them,

00:38:00my voice thick with mockery and certainty.

00:38:02No matter my place now,

00:38:04I'm still better than the three of you.

00:38:06You all reek of rogue stench.

00:38:08Your pack is already overrun by rogue raids,

00:38:10barely holding itself together.

00:38:12Yet you still come to this neutral school

00:38:14to bully others and stir up trouble.

00:38:16My words hit Evan right where it hurt.

00:38:19I'd seen pack news long before now,

00:38:22reporting his territory plagued by constant rogue attacks,

00:38:26leaving him stressed and sleepless.

00:38:29Evan paled instantly,

00:38:32his anger mixing with panic

00:38:33as he snapped back harshly.

00:38:37That's a lie!

00:38:39Don't spread rumors!

00:38:41My pack is perfectly safe.

00:38:48And no rogue troubles at all.

00:38:52Martha and Selina also paled,

00:38:54avoiding eye contact nervously,

00:38:56subtly suppressing their era

00:38:57to hide the rogue scent clinging to them.

00:38:59The onlooking werewolves began murmuring,

00:39:01looking at the three with obvious suspicion.

00:39:03Just then, the Academy's Elder Dean

00:39:04hurried over with a stern expression,

00:39:06raising a hand to quiet the crowd.

00:39:08That's enough!

00:39:09This is neutral Academy ground.

00:39:11No quarreling or disruption

00:39:12of student training will be tolerated.

00:39:15Ella and Jack were led out by school staff.

00:39:18Jack had faint scratch marks on his face.

00:39:20Ella kept her head down,

00:39:22her stubborn spirit clear as ever.

00:39:24I turned to Ella,

00:39:25softening my tone as I asked gently,

00:39:27Ella, what really made you fight Jack?

00:39:32I looked at Ella,

00:39:33her eyes red yet still forcing herself to stay strong.

00:39:37Stubborn by nature,

00:39:38she rarely showed vulnerability.

00:39:40But now, she could not hide her hurt,

00:39:42biting her lip to hold back her tears.

00:39:44Ella lifted her head sharply,

00:39:46her voice trembling yet firm.

00:39:49He started it first!

00:39:52Jack mocked me in front of everyone,

00:39:54said I didn't belong in the training camp,

00:39:56and called Brother Sebastian a nobody with no real power.

00:40:00Jack looked utterly unconvinced and fired back at once.

00:40:06It's the truth.

00:40:08I didn't make any of it up.

00:40:10Ella grew emotional,

00:40:12raising her voice.

00:40:13He even tugged at my wolf fur

00:40:15and shoved me against the wall.

00:40:17He pointed right at my face

00:40:18and called Sister a golden-eyed freak

00:40:20who couldn't bear pups,

00:40:21said you deserve being sold away.

00:40:25I held back again and again,

00:40:27but he just kept pushing me.

00:40:29I had no choice but to fight back.

00:40:31I stood frozen,

00:40:33my heart aching with emotion.

00:40:34I'd always thought I was nothing more

00:40:35than someone Sebastian had bought,

00:40:37that there was always a distance between Ella and me,

00:40:39that she'd kept her cold reserve towards me.

00:40:41I never imagined she would stand up for me so fiercely

00:40:43when others slandered and looked down on me.

00:40:45My gaze fell on her arms,

00:40:47marked with faint scratch wounds.

00:40:50A few tufts of wolf fur had been torn from her neck,

00:40:53and there was a faint bruise at the corner of her mouth.

00:40:57She looked worn and utterly heartbreaking.

00:41:02In that moment,

00:41:03memories of being wronged, mocked,

00:41:05and bullied relentlessly

00:41:06crashed over me like a tide.

00:41:07Shunned as a freak by Evans Pack,

00:41:09humiliated publicly by Selina,

00:41:10sold off like merchandise by my own father,

00:41:12branded barren by everyone around me,

00:41:14all the suppressed grief and resentment

00:41:15welled up inside,

00:41:16flaring into a fierce urge to protect Ella.

00:41:18I reached out and gently stroked her hair,

00:41:20calming the storm of emotion in my chest,

00:41:23then turned to face Jack,

00:41:25Martha,

00:41:25and the rest of them.

00:41:28Jack insulted others openly

00:41:30and resorted to violence first.

00:41:33Martha turns a blind eye to her son's wrongnings

00:41:35and enables his cruelty.

00:41:37Your own pack is overrun by rogues

00:41:40and barely holding on,

00:41:41yet you still find time to bully a pup

00:41:44and insult others.

00:41:46Isn't that both ridiculous and pitiful?

00:41:49The moment my words landed,

00:41:50Martha flew into a rage.

00:41:51She stepped forward abruptly,

00:41:52japping a finger straight at me

00:41:54and snapping sharply.

00:41:55Who do you think you are?

00:41:56How dare you judge us?

00:41:58My birth clan is the Blood Moon Pack,

00:42:00my in-law is the Silver Flang Pack.

00:42:02Say another word,

00:42:03and I'll have these two great packs

00:42:05pressure this academy.

00:42:07Not only will Ella be severely punished,

00:42:10I'll make you apologize to us,

00:42:12mother and son,

00:42:13in front of everyone!

00:42:16The Elder in charge of the training camp

00:42:17hurried over,

00:42:18followed by several guards,

00:42:19his area commanding an un-

00:42:21Silence, all of you!

00:42:22Jack provoked, insulted,

00:42:23and attacked first.

00:42:24He must apologize sincerely

00:42:25to Ella and Isabella.

00:42:26Martha will no longer be a ladle

00:42:27in student affairs

00:42:28for turning a blind eye

00:42:29to right and wrong

00:42:29and abusing her status.

00:42:30Anyone else who stirs up trouble

00:42:31will be expelled from the academy

00:42:32permanently,

00:42:33never to be admitted again.

00:42:35He then turned to me,

00:42:36his tone softening noticeably.

00:42:38Lyman Queen, rest assured,

00:42:39this is neutral ground.

00:42:41No one shall harm you or Ella.

00:42:44You need not fear for the one

00:42:45watching over you from the shadows.

00:42:47He will always keep you safe.

00:42:52I stared at him in utter disbelief.

00:42:55Elder, you must have mistaken me

00:42:57for someone else.

00:42:58I'm no Lyman Queen.

00:43:00I'm just an ordinary werewolf.

00:43:02I could never deserve such a title.

00:43:04The Elder shook his head faintly,

00:43:06his eyes deep and cryptic,

00:43:07gesturing for me not to press further.

00:43:09This is not the time to speak of it.

00:43:11The matter runs far deeper than you know.

00:43:13When the time comes,

00:43:14all will be revealed.

00:43:16For now, let us resolve

00:43:18what lies before us.

00:43:23At that,

00:43:24Evan, Martha, and Selina

00:43:25burst out in mocking laughter.

00:43:27Martha even clutched

00:43:29her stomach dramatically,

00:43:30sneering openly

00:43:31as she pointed at me.

00:43:33Elder,

00:43:34have you lost your wits?

00:43:36Or has this freak

00:43:37bewitched you somehow?

00:43:38Her?

00:43:39A lowly werewolf

00:43:40sold at the black market

00:43:41who can't even protect herself?

00:43:42The legendary Lycan Queen?

00:43:52What a ridiculous joke!

00:43:54Selina leaned close to Evan,

00:43:56her eyes filled with contempt.

00:43:58She raised her voice deliberately,

00:43:59making sure every watching werewolf

00:44:01could hear clearly.

00:44:03Exactly, Elder.

00:44:04The Lycan Queen is a noble existence

00:44:05who rules over all wolf clans.

00:44:07She's nothing but an outcast

00:44:08abandoned by her pack,

00:44:09mocked for being unable to bear young.

00:44:13How can you place

00:44:14such an exalt title

00:44:16on someone like her?

00:44:17The Elder's expression

00:44:18darkened at once,

00:44:19his imposing aura

00:44:20sweeping over the square.

00:44:22His eyes turned cold

00:44:23and sharp as he thundered,

00:44:25silencing every onlooker instantly.

00:44:30Hold your tongues!

00:44:32This neutral training camp

00:44:33is no place

00:44:34for your reckless arrogance.

00:44:35Speak ill of Isabella

00:44:36one more time,

00:44:37mock her again,

00:44:38and I will have

00:44:39all of you detained.

00:44:40Strip part of your wolf power,

00:44:42expel you from the camp,

00:44:43and bar you from ever returning.

00:44:45Martha tried to argue back,

00:44:46but froze under

00:44:47the Elder's icy stare.

00:44:50The words died in her throat.

00:44:52Furious as she was,

00:44:54she dared not act out

00:44:55any further.

00:44:56The Elder turned to Jack,

00:44:57who still looked

00:44:58stubbornly defiant.

00:45:00Jack,

00:45:01apologize to Ella

00:45:02and Isabelle at once.

00:45:03Speak with genuine remorse

00:45:04and admit your faults.

00:45:05Refuse,

00:45:06and you will be expelled today.

00:45:08I will notify your pack,

00:45:09and you will never be allowed

00:45:10entry into any

00:45:11werewolf training camp again.

00:45:13Jack clenched his fists tightly,

00:45:15his face burninged

00:45:16with stubbornness

00:45:17and resentment.

00:45:17He glared fiercely at Ayla,

00:45:19yet trembled

00:45:20under the Elder's

00:45:21overwhelming pressure,

00:45:22and finally lowered his head.

00:45:27I'm sorry.

00:45:32I shouldn't have called you

00:45:33a half-blood stray,

00:45:34insulted your brother,

00:45:37tugged your wolf fur,

00:45:38or pushed you against the wall.

00:45:39I apologize.

00:45:42Ella pressed her lips together

00:45:43and said nothing,

00:45:45only nodded faintly,

00:45:46the hurt in her eyes

00:45:47easing a little.

00:45:51Let's go.

00:45:52I'll settle this score

00:45:53with you two,

00:45:54sooner or later.

00:45:55Martha shook with rage.

00:45:57She shot a venomous glare

00:45:58at me and Ella,

00:45:59then grabbed Jack's arm roughly,

00:46:00her tone seeking with malice.

00:46:02Evan looked at me

00:46:03with complicated eyes,

00:46:04resentment,

00:46:04confusion,

00:46:05and a flicker

00:46:05of hidden unease.

00:46:06He shot the Elder

00:46:07a long, wary glance,

00:46:08yet dared not say another word.

00:46:09He turned and left

00:46:10the camp square

00:46:10with Martha and Selina,

00:46:11looking both furious

00:46:12and defeated.

00:46:13Before leaving,

00:46:14Selina glanced back at me

00:46:14with a sharp,

00:46:15hateful stare.

00:46:18The Elder

00:46:18I watched them leave,

00:46:19then turned back

00:46:20to the Elder,

00:46:21still utterly confused,

00:46:23my tone urgent.

00:46:25Elder,

00:46:26why do you keep

00:46:27calling me Lycan Queen?

00:46:29I'm not the person

00:46:30you think I am.

00:46:31My mate is only

00:46:32an ordinary werewolf.

00:46:33How could I ever

00:46:34bear such a title?

00:46:35The Elder shook

00:46:36his head slowly,

00:46:37his gaze deep

00:46:38with untold secrets.

00:46:39He motioned for me

00:46:40to calm myself,

00:46:41his tone cryptic

00:46:42yet laced with quiet warmth.

00:46:43This matter is

00:46:44of great consequence

00:46:45and touches

00:46:45countless threads of fate.

00:46:47I cannot reveal

00:46:48a single detail yet.

00:46:49Only remember this,

00:46:51someone has been

00:46:52protecting you

00:46:52in the shadows.

00:46:53No matter what dangers

00:46:54lie ahead,

00:46:55you have nothing to fear.

00:46:56I turned to Ella

00:46:57beside me,

00:46:58wondering if she knew

00:46:59anything of this.

00:47:01Ella,

00:47:02does any of this

00:47:02make sense to you?

00:47:03Why would the Elder

00:47:04call me that?

00:47:06Ella smiled innocently

00:47:07and shook her head,

00:47:08then skipped off

00:47:08into the distance,

00:47:09her voice light and flaky.

00:47:10No idea, sister.

00:47:11You'll have to figure it out

00:47:12yourself!

00:47:13Back home,

00:47:14I pushed open the door

00:47:15to find Sebastian

00:47:16sitting quietly

00:47:16on the living room sofa,

00:47:17holding a Wolf Clan

00:47:18medicinal herb

00:47:19between his fingers,

00:47:20waiting for us.

00:47:21You're back.

00:47:22Did anything else

00:47:23happen at the camp?

00:47:25Has Ella been wronged again?

00:47:26Ella shook her head

00:47:27and walked over

00:47:28to sit beside him,

00:47:29leaning softly

00:47:29against his arm.

00:47:32I'm fine,

00:47:33Brother Sebastian.

00:47:34The Elder stood up for us

00:47:35and Jack apologized.

00:47:37I stepped in front

00:47:38of Sebastian,

00:47:40my expression earnest

00:47:41and searching,

00:47:42unable to hold back

00:47:43the questions weighing

00:47:44on my mind any longer.

00:47:48Sebastian,

00:47:48I need to ask you something.

00:47:49Today at the training camp,

00:47:51the Elder called me

00:47:51like on Queen

00:47:52and said someone

00:47:52has been guarding me secretly.

00:47:54Do you know

00:47:54what this is all about?

00:47:55And you?

00:47:56What is your true identity?

00:47:57You've always hidden

00:47:58the truth from me on purpose.

00:48:00Sebastian's fingers stilled.

00:48:01He lifted his eyes

00:48:02to meet mine,

00:48:03his gaze flickering

00:48:04as he deliberately avoided

00:48:05my direct stare.

00:48:07Bella,

00:48:08some things aren't

00:48:08meant to be told yet.

00:48:10I can promise you this.

00:48:12I will never harm you

00:48:13or Ellie

00:48:14and I will always protect you.

00:48:16All you need to do

00:48:17is trust me.

00:48:18I watched him evade my gaze,

00:48:20my confusion deepening

00:48:21by the second.

00:48:22A quiet hurt

00:48:23settled in my heart.

00:48:24The Elder wouldn't speak

00:48:25and Sebastian chose

00:48:26to hide the truth too.

00:48:28It felt as if everyone

00:48:29held secrets about me,

00:48:31leaving me in the dark

00:48:32like a fool.

00:48:32I fell silent for a moment,

00:48:34my hand unconsciously

00:48:35drifting to my stomach.

00:48:37Where a tiny life was growing,

00:48:38the only thing I clung to now.

00:48:40I lifted my eyes to him,

00:48:42my expression solemn.

00:48:44Sebastian,

00:48:45I'm pregnant.

00:48:46Sebastian froze visibly.

00:48:48He set down the herb slowly,

00:48:50a faint soft smile

00:48:51crossing his face,

00:48:53the corners of his mouth lifting.

00:48:55He was clearly happy,

00:48:57yet his joy was far too restrained,

00:49:00too calm.

00:49:01There was none of the wild delight

00:49:02I'd hoped for.

00:49:03No flurry of worried questions,

00:49:05no tender touch.

00:49:07The glimmer of joy in his eyes

00:49:09faded almost at once,

00:49:10settling back into his usual

00:49:11quiet reserve.

00:49:14My heart sank heavily

00:49:16in that instant.

00:49:17Disappointment and uneases

00:49:18washed over me like a cold tide,

00:49:21swallowing me whole.

00:49:22I couldn't help but wonder,

00:49:24did he not want this pup at all?

00:49:26Was I and the life inside me

00:49:28nothing more than a burden to him?

00:49:30I thought of being sold by my own father,

00:49:32abandoned by Evan.

00:49:34Of all the uncertainty I'd endured,

00:49:36my unease grew stronger

00:49:37until my fingers began to tremble faintly.

00:49:39I dared not look Sebastian in the eye,

00:49:42afraid of catching even a trace of distaste

00:49:44or impatience in his expression.

00:49:45I pushed down the ache and hurt in my chest,

00:49:48forcing a faint, calm smile and nodding.

00:49:50I understand.

00:49:52You don't have to feel pressured.

00:49:54Night fell,

00:49:54and silence settled over everything.

00:49:56Moonlight spilled through the window

00:49:57onto the floor.

00:49:58I sat alone on the edge of the bed,

00:50:00gently resting a hand over my stomach.

00:50:02The weight of disappointment

00:50:03and unease grew heavier.

00:50:05More and more,

00:50:06I felt as though both I and my pup

00:50:08were nothing but a burden to Sebastian.

00:50:10Staying here would only be an annoyance,

00:50:12only wear him down further.

00:50:14Better to leave now.

00:50:15Go somewhere no one knows me.

00:50:17Give birth quietly.

00:50:19Raise my pup alone.

00:50:21And never be a chain

00:50:22holding anyone back again.

00:50:24With my mind made up,

00:50:25I rose quietly,

00:50:27moving without a sound.

00:50:28I opened my luggage

00:50:29and began packing silently.

00:50:30A few simple clothes,

00:50:32the wolf-tooth pendant Sebastian

00:50:33had given Milango to ward off danger,

00:50:35some dried rations I'd saved.

00:50:37I folded everything carefully

00:50:38into a small bundle.

00:50:40Once packed,

00:50:40I walked to Ella's bedside

00:50:42and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead,

00:50:44my heart heavy with sorrow

00:50:45yet firm with resolve.

00:50:46Ella, I'm sorry.

00:50:47Sister can't stay with you anymore.

00:50:49Stay safe with Brother Sebastian

00:50:51and getting hurt the way I did.

00:50:52I wiped the tears from my eyes,

00:50:54slung the bundle over my shoulder,

00:50:55and closed the door softly.

00:50:57Under the cover of deep night,

00:51:00I stepped slowly

00:51:01out of Sebastian's home.

00:51:04I walked into the dark forest

00:51:06with my bundle.

00:51:07I'd barely taken a few steps

00:51:08when hurried footsteps

00:51:09sounded behind me.

00:51:10A shadow darted forward in pursuit,

00:51:12and his familiar scent

00:51:13wrapped around me in an instant.

00:51:15It was Sebastian.

00:51:16Bella, where are you going?

00:51:18It's the middle of the night,

00:51:19carrying a bundle.

00:51:21Are you leaving me?

00:51:22I pulled my hand away sharply,

00:51:24my eyes red-brimmed,

00:51:26tone stubborn and hurt,

00:51:28forcing myself to sound cold.

00:51:31Where I go is none of your business.

00:51:34Sebastian,

00:51:36don't trouble yourself over me,

00:51:38and don't feel ob-gayed.

00:51:40How can it not be my business?

00:51:42Bella, you are my mate.

00:51:45The pup you carry is my flesh and blood.

00:51:47Wherever you go, I go.

00:51:50How can you say this has nothing to do with me?

00:51:53His words shattered every wall I've put up.

00:51:55Long-suppressed grief and hurt burst free.

00:51:57I pound against his chest,

00:51:59struggling to break away.

00:52:00Mate, do you still remember I'm your mate?

00:52:03Sebastian, look at yourself.

00:52:05I told you I was pregnant,

00:52:06and this is how you react.

00:52:07No joy, no concern,

00:52:09not a single sincere word of care.

00:52:11You don't care about this pup at all,

00:52:13and you've never truly cared about me.

00:52:14I stopped struggling

00:52:15and stared straight into his eyes,

00:52:17tears streaming down my cheeks,

00:52:19my tone laced with self-mockery and despair,

00:52:22every word cutting deep into us both.

00:52:24You were just a buyer at the black market,

00:52:25and I was nothing more than a slave you purchased.

00:52:29Your kindness, your gentleness,

00:52:31only fleeting interest,

00:52:33only because I still have use to you.

00:52:35Isn't that the truth?

00:52:37You've never truly cared about me.

00:52:39Sebastian stuffened completely,

00:52:41holding me tighter.

00:52:43He gripped my shoulders,

00:52:44forcing me to meet his glaze.

00:52:46Bella, don't say that.

00:52:48I have never seen you as a slave,

00:52:50not for a single moment.

00:52:51I bought you for a reason.

00:52:54The forest seemed to darken all at once.

00:52:57A blood-red moon rose slowly over the horizon,

00:53:01its crimson glow spilling across the entire woods.

00:53:04Sebastian lifted his head

00:53:05and stared quietly at the blood moon,

00:53:07his expression solemn and grave.

00:53:10The wolf clan has an ancient fate law.

00:53:12Only when the blood moon rises

00:53:14will the royal seal be fully broken.

00:53:16No more need for pretense,

00:53:18no more hiding.

00:53:19The time has finally come.

00:53:21I stared at the eerie crimson moon,

00:53:24my heart tightening inexplicably,

00:53:26lost and stunned,

00:53:28waiting for him to go on.

00:53:30I was never an ordinary low-rank werewolf.

00:53:33I am the rightful heir to the Lycon throne.

00:53:37My elder brother plotted against me in secret

00:53:39to seize power.

00:53:40To survive,

00:53:42I had to hide my royal identity,

00:53:44suppress my true strength,

00:53:45lie low and bide my time,

00:53:47evading my enemies

00:53:48while gathering power

00:53:50to take back what was mine.

00:53:51His tone softened,

00:53:53laced with gentle remembrance.

00:53:55I've known you for a very long time.

00:53:56Years ago,

00:53:57on the frozen ice plains,

00:53:58I saw you ignoring the bitter cold

00:54:00to feed stray wolfpubs gently.

00:54:02In that moment,

00:54:02I was already drawn to you.

00:54:03I've watched over you silently ever since,

00:54:05following every twist of your fate.

00:54:07His voice turned tender with sorrow

00:54:09as he spoke of the past.

00:54:10When I learned Evan had cast you aside cruelly,

00:54:13and your own father sold you off

00:54:15like nothing more than a breeder,

00:54:16I acted at once

00:54:18and bought you from Marcus.

00:54:19This was never a cold transaction.

00:54:21It was protection I planned long ago,

00:54:24a chance to save you.

00:54:28Sebastian let out a quiet sigh,

00:54:29his eyes filled with lingering helplessness

00:54:31and restraint.

00:54:32I kept my distance

00:54:33and acted cold towards you before

00:54:34because I'd long sensed

00:54:35you are a born pureblood Luna.

00:54:36Back then,

00:54:37I was trapped in royal turmoil,

00:54:38surrounded by enemies,

00:54:39barely able to protect myself.

00:54:40I fear dragging you into danger,

00:54:42and I refuse to let someone

00:54:44as noble and pure as you

00:54:45stay hidden beside a fallen,

00:54:46disguised me.

00:54:47He lifted his gaze

00:54:48to the blood moon

00:54:49hanging high in the sky,

00:54:50his aura steady and regal,

00:54:52his expression calm with certainty.

00:54:55Now the blood moon has risen,

00:54:57fate has fallen into place.

00:54:58I have crushed my brother's schemes,

00:54:59quelled the internal turtle,

00:55:00and reclaimed my rightful throne at last.

00:55:02I have officially ascended

00:55:02as the new Lycan king.

00:55:03He reached out

00:55:04and took my hand gently,

00:55:06his palm warm and firm,

00:55:08his gaze locked steadily on mine,

00:55:10sincere and earnest.

00:55:12Isabella, of course I care about our child.

00:55:13I have cared all along.

00:55:14I've waited far too long for this day.

00:55:16Once I could only guard you from the shadows.

00:55:17Now I hold the throne,

00:55:18and I have the power to shield you

00:55:19and our pup for a lifetime in peace.

00:55:21I wish to mark you properly,

00:55:22claim you as my one and only mate,

00:55:23and crown you queen of the Lycan clan.

00:55:24From this day forward,

00:55:25no one will ever dare hurt you again.

00:55:27I stared at the raw,

00:55:28unhovered affection and resolve in his eyes.

00:55:29All the grief, unease,

00:55:30and doubt I'd carried these days

00:55:32melted away in an instant.

00:55:33Emotion welled up inside me,

00:55:34and warm tears slipped slowly down my cheeks.

00:55:36I looked at him and nodded softly,

00:55:38knowing he meant to mark me for life.

00:55:41Night hung thick and dark.

00:55:43A blood-red moon hung high over the sky,

00:55:45bathing the entire forest in a faint crimson glow.

00:55:48Isabella waited eagerly for Sebastian

00:55:49to claim her mark,

00:55:50her eyes sparkling with quiet excitement

00:55:52and anticipation.

00:55:53Are you ready?

00:55:53This mark will bind you to me completely as my mate,

00:55:56and awaken the full strength

00:55:57of your pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:55:58Yes.

00:55:59Sebastian rested his hands gently

00:56:01on Isabella's shoulders,

00:56:02and pressed his warm lips to hers

00:56:04to leave his mark.

00:56:05There was a faint twinge of pain,

00:56:07yet Isabella did not flinch for a moment,

00:56:09her gaze filled only with longing.

00:56:11The instant the mark settled,

00:56:12Sebastian's royal tined with Isabella's

00:56:14pure-blood Luna energy.

00:56:15Golden light swirled around them both,

00:56:17her golden irises blazing brighter than ever,

00:56:20as her ancient pure-blood era

00:56:22fully awakened within her.

00:56:24From this day on,

00:56:25I will never let anyone hurt you,

00:56:27never let you shed another tear.

00:56:29This mark is my vow to you.

00:56:31I trust you.

00:56:34Hidden in the shadows,

00:56:36Selena watched every moment unfold.

00:56:38She stared at their joined hands,

00:56:39consumed by bitter resentment.

00:56:41A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

00:56:43She quietly pulled out her communicator,

00:56:45and reached out to Sebastian's

00:56:46elder brother William.

00:56:47Why should they have everything?

00:56:49I will take back what belongs to me,

00:56:50and make them pay for standing in my way.

00:56:52Sebastian looked down at Isabella beside him,

00:56:55brushing the soft smile from her lips

00:56:57with tender reverence.

00:56:58He knew he no longer needed to hide his identity.

00:57:00At last,

00:57:01he could protect her openly,

00:57:03without fear or pretend.

00:57:04I will protect you,

00:57:05protect our child,

00:57:06and cherish every part of who you are.

00:57:08No one will ever make you suffer again.

00:57:12Sebastian began preparing

00:57:13for the Lycan royal coronation ceremony.

00:57:15On that day,

00:57:16he would publicly reveal his true identity

00:57:17as the rightful royal heir,

00:57:19be officially crowned Lycan king,

00:57:21and formally proclaim Isabella

00:57:22the legitimate Lycan queen,

00:57:23honored and revered by all werewolf claims.

00:57:26Meanwhile,

00:57:26life grew increasingly bleak

00:57:28for Evan's blood moon pack.

00:57:30Stripped of Isabella's

00:57:31luna protection barrier,

00:57:32rogue packs began raiding

00:57:33their borders relentlessly.

00:57:34Casualties mounted,

00:57:35their territory fell into ruin,

00:57:37and the entire clan

00:57:38twatered on the brink of collapse.

00:57:39Evan,

00:57:40if we carry on like this,

00:57:42the rogues will swallow

00:57:43our pack entirely.

00:57:45The new Lycan king's coronation

00:57:47is soon,

00:57:47and word spreads

00:57:48his power is unfathomable.

00:57:51If we can gain his favor,

00:57:53we'll never fear the rogues again.

00:57:54We weren't sent an invitation.

00:57:56This king has always lived in secrecy,

00:57:57cold and unpredictable.

00:57:58If we sneak in disguise and get caught,

00:58:00we'll only humiliate ourselves.

00:58:01Do we still care about pride?

00:58:02Saving our pack is all that matters.

00:58:04We'll dress common minor clan guests

00:58:05and blend into the crowd.

00:58:07Once we reach the royal dast,

00:58:08we'll find a chance

00:58:08to enratiate ourselves.

00:58:10Evan stared at his ravaged territory

00:58:12and his fading clan members.

00:58:13Overcome by desperation and ambition,

00:58:15he finally agreed to sneak

00:58:16into the coronation beside Martha,

00:58:17set on curing favor

00:58:18with the new Lycan king

00:58:19to secure his pack's survival.

00:58:21Upon hearing news of the ceremony,

00:58:23Selina chose not to go

00:58:24with Evan and Martha.

00:58:26She waited alone for William,

00:58:27Sebastian's elder brother,

00:58:29whom she had secretly allied with.

00:58:31Sebastian thinks he can claim the throne

00:58:33and reign in peace.

00:58:36William has already promised me

00:58:38he will seize power at the coronation.

00:58:40Once William overtows Sebastian

00:58:42and takes the crown,

00:58:43I will be his one and only queen,

00:58:47the true Lycan queen.

00:58:49I'll never again live

00:58:51in Isabella's shadow.

00:58:52She drowned herself

00:58:53in ambitious fantasies,

00:58:55waiting foolishly

00:58:56for William to appear.

00:58:57Completely unaware,

00:58:58she was nothing more than a pawn

00:58:59he had long been using.

00:59:02The Lycan holy mountain blazed

00:59:04with coronation splendor.

00:59:06Golden light spilled over the peaks.

00:59:08Royal guards standing tall

00:59:09with imposing presence.

00:59:10Powerful werewolf leaders

00:59:12from every clan filed in

00:59:13to take their seats.

00:59:14The entire sacred ground

00:59:15steeped in solemn grandeur.

00:59:16Evan and Martha dressed

00:59:17in plain outsider robes,

00:59:19blending silently into the guest crowd

00:59:20and slipping into the ceremony grounds.

00:59:22They gazed up at the luxurious royal days,

00:59:24watching the dignified clan leaders around them,

00:59:26envy clear in their eyes.

00:59:27Both resolved to seize any chance

00:59:29to win the new Lion King's favor

00:59:30and save their family.

00:59:31Their gaze drifted casually

00:59:33across the gathering,

00:59:34and they froze instantly,

00:59:35spotting Isabella and Sebastian

00:59:36standing side by side.

00:59:38Disdain and contempt settled

00:59:39over their faces at once.

00:59:41Look!

00:59:42Is that Isabella?

00:59:43How dare she intrude

00:59:45on a royal coronation?

00:59:46They exchanged a glance,

00:59:48both looking down on the pair.

00:59:49Evan's tone turned sharp

00:59:50with quiet mockery.

00:59:51And beside her,

00:59:53that's the rough,

00:59:54low-class werewolf

00:59:55who bought her

00:59:55at the black market.

00:59:56A nobody with no standing.

00:59:59How dare he set foot

01:00:00on sacred Lycan royal grounds?

01:00:02Echoing his squirm,

01:00:03her disgust deepening.

01:00:04We have no sense of their place.

01:00:06Both are outcasts

01:00:07unfit for high society,

01:00:09only here to leech off prestige

01:00:10and cling to power.

01:00:12They clearly snuck in uninvited

01:00:13with no status or lineage.

01:00:15Once the true Lyman King arrives,

01:00:16guards will drive them out publicly,

01:00:18and they'll be the laughingstock

01:00:18of everyone present.

01:00:21Evan and Martha

01:00:22stepped forward abruptly,

01:00:24blocking Isabella

01:00:24and Sebastian's path,

01:00:26their manner arrogant

01:00:26and their words cutting.

01:00:28Isabella,

01:00:28you exiled,

01:00:30golden-eyed freak.

01:00:31How dare you sneak

01:00:32into a royal coronation,

01:00:33parading around

01:00:34with this low-class werewolf.

01:00:35You have no shame at all.

01:00:37Sebastian,

01:00:37I still remember

01:00:38your ragged state

01:00:39at the black market.

01:00:40A nobody like you

01:00:41has no right

01:00:41to stand on sacred ground.

01:00:43Take her and leave

01:00:44before you embarrass yourselves further.

01:00:46Whether we belong here

01:00:47is none of your concern.

01:00:48You two snuck in

01:00:49without invitations,

01:00:50yet you still dare

01:00:51to act high and mighty.

01:00:52Sebastian drew Isabella

01:00:53gently to his side,

01:00:54adopting a humble,

01:00:55meek demeanor,

01:00:56his tone soft and unassuming.

01:00:58Alpha Evan,

01:00:59Lady Martha,

01:01:00we only came to watch

01:01:00the ceremony.

01:01:01We mean no trouble,

01:01:02and we'll take our leave

01:01:04at once.

01:01:04Seeing Sebastian's

01:01:05apparent weakness

01:01:06emboldened Martha further.

01:01:07She stepped forward sharply,

01:01:09her tone growing harsher still.

01:01:11Leave is not enough!

01:01:12A low-class werewolf

01:01:13trespassing on

01:01:14royal sacred ground,

01:01:15you will apologize to us.

01:01:18Exactly.

01:01:20Beg forgiveness

01:01:21and get out.

01:01:22When the Lion King arrives,

01:01:24he'll strip your wolf power

01:01:25and shame you publicly.

01:01:26A flicker of cold calm

01:01:27passed through Sebastian's eyes,

01:01:28though his tone

01:01:29remained mild,

01:01:30edged with quiet certainty.

01:01:31Is that so?

01:01:31Then let us wait and see

01:01:32who ends up embarrassed

01:01:33before everyone.

01:01:34Isabella lifted her gaze,

01:01:35a faint glimmer

01:01:36shining in her golden eyes.

01:01:37She played along

01:01:38with Sebastian's act,

01:01:39looking wronged

01:01:39yet forcing herself

01:01:40to stay complete.

01:01:41You carry yourselves

01:01:42so arrogantly.

01:01:43Do you not fear

01:01:44angering the Lichen King?

01:01:46Martha scoffed openly,

01:01:47utterly dismiss it

01:01:48of their words.

01:01:49Anger the King?

01:01:50The only ones

01:01:51embarrassing themselves

01:01:52here are you two.

01:01:54The King will punish you,

01:01:55not us.

01:01:58Their taunt stung sharp

01:01:59and loud in my ears.

01:02:01I had no wish

01:02:01to waste time

01:02:02on these petty troublemakers,

01:02:03only wanting to turn away

01:02:04and let the ceremony

01:02:05proceed undisturbed.

01:02:07Pay them no mind.

01:02:08The real show

01:02:09is about to begin.

01:02:10I nodded

01:02:11and turned to leave with him,

01:02:12but Evan took my silence

01:02:14as defeat,

01:02:14stepping forward

01:02:15to block our path,

01:02:16wearing a mocking,

01:02:17triumphant smirk.

01:02:18Cat got your tongue?

01:02:19Can't argue back

01:02:20so you try to run?

01:02:21I knew it.

01:02:23You're both small-minded nobodies,

01:02:25unfit to stand against us.

01:02:26Run won't save you.

01:02:28Apologize here today

01:02:29or everyone will see

01:02:30the two of you

01:02:31brought low and humiliated.

01:02:35I frowned,

01:02:36ready to speak,

01:02:36when solemn ceremonial horns

01:02:38echoed across the grounds.

01:02:39A hush fell instantly,

01:02:40every gaze turning

01:02:41towards the high das.

01:02:41The host's voice

01:02:42boomed across the holy mountain,

01:02:43clear and authoritative

01:02:44through spiritual resonance.

01:02:45The auspicious hour has come.

01:02:47The Lycan King's

01:02:48coronation ceremony begins.

01:02:51All rise for the rightful

01:02:52Lycan royal heir,

01:02:54Lord Sebastian,

01:02:55and his fated mate,

01:02:57Lady Isabella,

01:02:58to ascend the royal daze.

01:03:03Golden light burst across the sky.

01:03:10I, Sebastian,

01:03:12rightful heir to the Lycan throne,

01:03:13have quelled my brother's rebellion

01:03:14and reclaimed my royal birthright.

01:03:16Today I ascend officially as Lion King

01:03:18and proclaim Isabella my sole Lion Queen.

01:03:21May all clans honor our rule

01:03:23and find peace under our protection.

01:03:25This was my mate,

01:03:27the one destined to walk beside me for all time.

01:03:29In the next instant,

01:03:31two sharp,

01:03:32disbelieving voices

01:03:33shattered the ceremony's solemnity.

01:03:36Impossible!

01:03:37It cannot be!

01:03:38How can you be the Lycan King?

01:03:39You were nothing but a ragged nobody

01:03:41from the black market.

01:03:42You're pretending to claim the throne.

01:03:43Yes,

01:03:43you're an imposter!

01:03:44A low-class werewolf

01:03:45could never be Lycan royal heir!

01:03:47You've tricked everyone

01:03:48with some underhanded scheme!

01:03:49The true Lord King

01:03:50could never be someone like you!

01:03:51They shouted hysterically,

01:03:52as if their refusal alone

01:03:54could undo reality.

01:03:55I watched their frantic display

01:03:57with complete indifference.

01:03:58It was utterly ridiculous now.

01:04:00The nobody they mocked

01:04:01was now the king.

01:04:02The outcasts they humiliated,

01:04:05now their queen.

01:04:09Insolent fools!

01:04:11To speak treason

01:04:12at the Lycan King's coronation,

01:04:15to deny royal lineage

01:04:17and dishonor the crown,

01:04:19you court your own doom.

01:04:21Guards, seize them!

01:04:23These two trespassed

01:04:24uninvited on sacred ceremony grounds,

01:04:26insulted the king and queen

01:04:27and flouted royal decree.

01:04:28By order of the crown,

01:04:29strip three-tenths

01:04:30of their wolf power,

01:04:31expel them from the holy mountain

01:04:32and ban them permanently

01:04:34from all Lycan territory.

01:04:35Any who defy this ruling

01:04:36shall be put to death

01:04:37without hesitation.

01:04:41He hated his own blindness

01:04:43and pride,

01:04:44mocking the true Lion King

01:04:45and now reaping the ruin

01:04:47he had sown.

01:04:48Your Majesty King Sebastian,

01:04:49I beg forgiveness.

01:04:50I dare not doubt you again,

01:04:51I swear it.

01:04:52Your grace, Queen Isabella,

01:04:53please show mercy.

01:04:55We will never insult you again,

01:04:57never trespass on royal ceremony grounds.

01:04:59Spare us this once.

01:05:00You mock freely

01:05:01when you hold pride

01:05:02yet beg for mercy and ruin.

01:05:03Your arrogance and ignorance

01:05:05deserve no forgiveness from me.

01:05:06They had brought this upon themselves,

01:05:08casting me aside,

01:05:09humiliating me,

01:05:10looking down on others

01:05:11and now they face the consequences.

01:05:12They left an utter disgrace,

01:05:14their pride shattered beyond repair.

01:05:19Selene alone beneath the shade of a tree.

01:05:22She clutched her communicator tightly.

01:05:25Why hasn't William come?

01:05:27He swore he would overthrow Sebastian

01:05:28at the coronation.

01:05:29Once he takes the crown,

01:05:31he'll make me Lion Queen.

01:05:33He wouldn't lie to me.

01:05:35The line was dead completely.

01:05:37No, this can't be.

01:05:39He wouldn't deceive me.

01:05:40He must have been stopped

01:05:42by Sebastian's guards,

01:05:43caught in trouble somehow.

01:05:44William!

01:05:45William!

01:05:53Selene, you are foolish and greedy indeed.

01:05:55Did you truly believe

01:05:56I would risk everything for the throne

01:05:58or crown you Queen?

01:05:59I only used you to drain your wealth

01:06:01and resources from my own gain.

01:06:02At last the truth crashed over her.

01:06:04This had never been anything

01:06:06but a carefully laid trap.

01:06:08Please, my wealth, my crown,

01:06:11everything is gone.

01:06:12He lied to me.

01:06:13He truly lied to me.

01:06:17Word soon spread

01:06:18of Selene's secret alliance

01:06:20with William.

01:06:21She was branded

01:06:22an enemy of the Lion Crown,

01:06:25blacklisted across

01:06:25all werewolf lands.

01:06:27Foolish woman.

01:06:28Not only were you deceived,

01:06:30you dragged my pack into ruin.

01:06:31Do not show yourself to me again.

01:06:33We are finished.

01:06:34Evan, please help me.

01:06:36I know I was wrong.

01:06:37I only wanted a better life.

01:06:38Clean up the mess you made alone.

01:06:40Someone like you

01:06:40is not worthy of standing beside me.

01:06:46Penniless and without allies,

01:06:48she became a public joke

01:06:50among the werewolf clans.

01:06:52She spent her days

01:06:54adrift in loneliness and regret.

01:06:56Evan was stripped of part

01:06:57of his wolf power.

01:06:58His former alpha dominance

01:07:00faded away entirely.

01:07:01I let vanity blind me

01:07:03and looked down on Sebastian

01:07:05out of pride.

01:07:06This ruin is entirely

01:07:07my own fault.

01:07:08If only I hadn't urged you

01:07:09to seek favor,

01:07:10if only I hadn't angered

01:07:12the royal family,

01:07:13what will become of us now?

01:07:14There is nothing we can do.

01:07:16Our pack fades.

01:07:17We are powerless to protect it.

01:07:19We can only leave

01:07:19our fate to time.

01:07:20The old glory of the blood moon pack

01:07:22faded into memory.

01:07:24The clan declined steadily

01:07:26into obscurity,

01:07:28struggling merely to survive.

01:07:33All external conflicts faded away

01:07:36and the last traces

01:07:37of royal rebellion

01:07:38were pink held completely.

01:07:40Peace settled over every corner

01:07:43of werewolf territory.

01:07:46Sebastian ruled the Lycan throne steadily,

01:07:49managing clan affairs

01:07:50with calm order,

01:07:51leaving no room

01:07:52for further chaos.

01:07:54With Pup now growing inside me,

01:07:57I rested quietly

01:07:58in the Lyman royal mansion.

01:08:00Sebastian set aside

01:08:01many official duties

01:08:02to stay by my side,

01:08:04tending to my every need

01:08:05with gentle, careful devotion.

01:08:07You don't have to stay

01:08:08by my side every moment.

01:08:10Royal affairs keep you busy.

01:08:11Don't let me hold you back.

01:08:13The throne matters,

01:08:14but you and the Pup you carry

01:08:16matter most in my life.

01:08:19The elders contend

01:08:20to all trivial matters.

01:08:21Ella also remained safely

01:08:22within the royal household,

01:08:24staying close

01:08:24to keep me company

01:08:25and looking after

01:08:26my daily needs

01:08:27with heartfelt care.

01:08:28Rest easy

01:08:29and focus on your pregnancy, Luna.

01:08:31I'll stay right here with you

01:08:32so you have nothing

01:08:33to worry about.

01:08:36Sebastian tangled

01:08:37his fingers with mine,

01:08:39his eyes soft.

01:08:42Ella smiled quietly beside us.

01:08:45Sunlight spilled

01:08:45through the window,

01:08:46warm and calm

01:08:48over all three of us.
