Transcript

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.

00:00:08Despite that, Alpha Kieran Wolf still formed a mate bond with me.

00:00:11To be with me, he openly defied the Elder's Council.

00:00:15He endured 99 lashes and was forced to kneel at the altar for three 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.

00:00:39From 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 and the elders wanted

00:00:59a 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.

00:01:13Everyone was convinced I had poisoned her.

00:01:15When they threw me into the freezing cold storage room, Kieran stood at the doorway with bloodshot eyes.

00:01:20I told you to wait.

00:01:22You know what wolfpate 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, forcing myself to keep my voice steady.

00:01:46I said, I'm willing to leave Kieran Walss, but 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.

00:02:00Spending 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, we'll arrange everything to send you away.

00:02:16And when that time comes, you'd better never show your face in front of Kaiman again.

00:02:20The heavy doors slammed shut abruptly, and 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.

00:02:34Cecilia was curled against his warm belly, smiling with tender satisfaction.

00:02:38The perfect family of three looked so blissfully happy together.

00:02:42Cecilia Donati noticed me first, and immediately sat up with alert eyes.

00:02:46She instinctively pulled Tyra behind her protectively.

00:02:50Mrs. George, you're back.

00:02:52Kieran almost reflexively shifted back to human form,

00:02:56and 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.

00:03:14You'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 elders' punishment would have been.

00:03:34With your human body, they might have even executed you.

00:03:38We're leaving soon anyway, and I don't want any more complications.

00:03:42Also, 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.

00:03:50Wolf 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.

00:04:00All right, fine.

00:04:02It 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.

00:04:11Just as the atmosphere grew tense,

00:04:13Cecilia 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,

00:04:22so 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.

00:04:31My eyes widened as I grabbed her wrist.

00:04:34Where did you get this bracelet?

00:04:36I gave it to her.

00:04:38Cecilia likes antique pieces.

00:04:40I looked at Kieran with deep disappointment,

00:04:43my 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.

00:04:53Consider it your apology gift to her.

00:04:55Besides, it's just a bracelet.

00:04:57My voice trembled with rage.

00:04:59This 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.

00:05:12She moaned weakly.

00:05:13My belly.

00:05:15Kieran immediately shoved me away roughly,

00:05:17his eyes turning frighteningly cold.

00:05:20Elise!

00:05:21She's carrying my pup!

00:05:23He was so strong that I crashed hard into the bookshelf behind me.

00:05:27Haven'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,

00:05:35Kieran did not even look back,

00:05:36as he swept Cecilia into his arms and rushed out.

00:05:40Kieran!

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,

00:05:51his 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,

00:06:00I 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.

00:06:13I looked down at the pool of blood beneath me,

00:06:15and suddenly laughed,

00:06:16and the sound was bleak.

00:06:18Later,

00:06:19I took a carriage to the hospital,

00:06:20alone.

00:06:21The doctor saw how severe my injury was,

00:06:24and 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.

00:06:32I had just stumbled out of the examination room when someone grabbed my wrist roughly.

00:06:37Elise,

00:06:38Cecilia 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,

00:06:50and 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,

00:06:58but 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.

00:07:07He finally noticed the strong scent of blood on me,

00:07:10masked by antiseptic,

00:07:11and the thick gore still seeping red.

00:07:16Kieran,

00:07:17you said that once you delivered the pup,

00:07:19you'd take me away.

00:07:20I said,

00:07:21looking at him as my nose began to sting.

00:07:23But now,

00:07:24do you even see me anymore?

00:07:26Kieran's frown deepened,

00:07:27as 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,

00:07:39it was just a casual shove,

00:07:40wasn't it?

00:07:41Kieran's pupils contracted

00:07:42as he recalled the force he had used

00:07:44in his moment of rage.

00:07:46For a human,

00:07:47it could have been fatal.

00:07:48He pulled me into his arms guiltily.

00:07:50Elise, I'm sorry.

00:07:52I didn't mean to.

00:07:53I was just afraid something would happen to Cecilia.

00:07:56She's carrying the Pax future.

00:07:57If anything went wrong,

00:07:59the 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.

00:08:09I understand.

00:08:10I said,

00:08:11pushing him away.

00:08:12Go take care of her.

00:08:13I turned to leave,

00:08:14but he grabbed my wrist again.

00:08:16Elise,

00:08:17no matter what,

00:08:18you have to believe

00:08:20that I only love you.

00:08:21Everything I do is to help us escape this prison

00:08:24as quickly as possible.

00:08:26Kieran released my hand

00:08:27and,

00:08:28as he walked away,

00:08:29said,

00:08:29When I get home,

00:08:30I'll bring you your favorite cranberry cupcakes.

00:08:33With that,

00:08:34he headed toward the private healing chamber

00:08:36at the end of the corridor,

00:08:37where Cecilia was being cared for

00:08:39by the Pax finest healers.

00:08:41I stood there,

00:08:42watching him disappear into the distance.

00:08:44Suddenly,

00:08:45I laughed,

00:08:46and tears began streaming down my face.

00:08:48I 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

00:08:55any of your promises ever again.

00:09:01Kieran was gone for three days straight.

00:09:03During those three days,

00:09:05Cecilia sent me taunting letters

00:09:06every single day.

00:09:09Cecilia,

00:09:10what the hell do you want from me?

00:09:12My voice shaking with barely contained rage.

00:09:14I could almost hear her soft,

00:09:16mocking laugh through the ink.

00:09:18Oh, nothing much.

00:09:19I just thought you should see

00:09:20how happy your husband is without you.

00:09:22Three days.

00:09:23And he hasn't even mentioned your name once.

00:09:25The letter ended there abruptly.

00:09:26In my mind's eye,

00:09:28I saw Kieran gently coaxing Tyra with toys,

00:09:31while Cecilia leaned intimately

00:09:33against his shoulder,

00:09:34smiling sweetly

00:09:35as she watched the father-daughter interaction.

00:09:37I endured the heartache and read every letter she sent.

00:09:41She wrote about him keeping watch by her hospital bed deep into the night,

00:09:45feeding 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.

00:10:08Want your mother's keepsake?

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.

00:10:18Yet, I did not care.

00:10:20I grabbed my coat and rushed out.

00:10:22In the hospital room,

00:10:23Cecilia 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.

00:10:34She looked up when she saw me,

00:10:36her smile deepening.

00:10:37You came.

00:10:38Did you know that during my stay here,

00:10:40Ciaran hasn't even gone on his territory patrols.

00:10:43He's been right here,

00:10:44using his pheromones to comfort me.

00:10:47And our future heir.

00:10:50She deliberately emphasized 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.

00:11:09Ciaran's future Luna.

00:11:11And I'll consider giving it back.

00:11:14I 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 Ciaran's affection?

00:11:35Bowing to me is an honor.

00:11:37She 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 lips so hard I nearly drew blood.

00:11:48My knees felt like they were filled with lead,

00:11:50but 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.

00:12:00You really do look like a pathetic dog.

00:12:03She raised her hand, and I reached out to catch it.

00:12:06However, she released her fingers just half a step away from me.

00:12:10The 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 and had just lunged forward to gather the pieces

00:12:25when Cecilia suddenly screamed and fell backward against the wall.

00:12:29At that moment, the door was violently pushed open.

00:12:32Ciaran and Lucian stood in the doorway with grim expressions,

00:12:36followed by several other elders.

00:12:38What 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.

00:12:51Ciaran!

00:12:52My stomach hurts so much.

00:12:54Oh, and check Tyra quickly.

00:12:56I just saw Elise pinching and hitting her.

00:12:59Ciaran frantically picked up the pup to examine her,

00:13:01lifting her clothes to reveal tender skin

00:13:03covered in purple bruises from pinching.

00:13:06I 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, a blow heavy with werewolf strength

00:13:19struck me across the face.

00:13:21My vision went black, my 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

00:13:32and an innocent pup!

00:13:34Another elder said coldly,

00:13:36The last punishment was too lenient.

00:13:39Guards, drag her to the punishment chamber

00:13:41and give her twenty flamshies.

00:13:43Ciaran clenched his fists tightly

00:13:45and stepped forward.

00:13:47Elders, 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 that this pup carries your blood!

00:14:00I trembled, instinctively looking toward Ciaran.

00:14:04He still stood there

00:14:05with his knuckles white from clenching.

00:14:07In the punishment chamber,

00:14:09wolfguards 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.

00:14:17In a daze,

00:14:18I 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.

00:14:24That night it poured rain

00:14:25and he stood outside my window,

00:14:27letting the storm drench him

00:14:28until he burned with a high fever.

00:14:30When I went to see him,

00:14:32he was delirious with fever.

00:14:33Yet, he still grabbed my hand and said,

00:14:36Elise, remember,

00:14:38even if it means fighting the whole world,

00:14:41I want only you as my mate.

00:14:43At 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.

00:14:52It won't hurt for much longer.

00:14:54Finally, 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,

00:15:26unwilling to look at him.

00:15:27Ciaran stiffened for a moment

00:15:29before speaking again to explain.

00:15:31Elise,

00:15:31it's not that I didn't want to stop them,

00:15:34but in that situation,

00:15:35the more I resisted,

00:15:36the harsher

00:15:37the elders' punishment would have been.

00:15:39Elder Lucian even considered executing you.

00:15:41I had to protect your life first.

00:15:44So,

00:15:45I said with a hoarse voice,

00:15:47you 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,

00:16:02I'll ask you just one question.

00:16:04Ciaran Wolf,

00:16:05in 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,

00:16:15there 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

00:16:25once this was all over?

00:16:26Why did you have to provoke Cecilia?

00:16:28My tears suddenly started falling.

00:16:31I 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, once 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 that 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.

00:17:08After all,

00:17:09he 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 to face away from him,

00:17:19not wanting to say another word.

00:17:25Kieran 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,

00:17:31whispering,

00:17:31Sleep.

00:17:32I'll stay here with you.

00:17:33Before he even finished,

00:17:35the door was violently pushed open,

00:17:37and Ibita stood there frantically.

00:17:39Alpha,

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.

00:17:50Then he stood up.

00:17:51Elise,

00:17:53I...

00:17:53I let out a self-mocking laugh,

00:17:56and murmured,

00:17:57Go.

00:17:58Wait for me.

00:17:59I'll go check on them.

00:18:00Then come right back to take care of you.

00:18:02Watching his retreating figure,

00:18:04I smiled bitterly.

00:18:05You're a liar,

00:18:07Kieran.

00:18:08You won't be coming back.

00:18:10Sure enough,

00:18:11he never returned that night.

00:18:12I was discharged the next day,

00:18:14and it was pouring rain outside.

00:18:16I packed my belongings,

00:18:18and stood at the hospital entrance,

00:18:20watching 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,

00:18:39her voice trembling.

00:18:40She can hurt me if she wants,

00:18:41but she can't hurt Tyra.

00:18:44Can you...

00:18:45give me a little more time?

00:18:47Please don't make me ride in the same carriage with her for now.

00:18:50I froze,

00:18:50as I stared at the seat that used to belong to me.

00:18:54Kieran 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,

00:19:00wait 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,

00:19:11watching 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.

00:19:27Kieran had promised to come back for me,

00:19:28but he never did.

00:19:29My communication crystal had lost its glow,

00:19:32and I called out to him repeatedly through our mind link.

00:19:35Yet,

00:19:35there was only blocked silence on the other end.

00:19:38Seeing 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 muddy puddle.

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,

00:20:17I 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,

00:20:26and 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 help.

00:20:36Just think of it as for Tyra's sake.

00:20:38Please help me.

00:20:40Don't worry.

00:20:41Elise will never know.

00:20:42I froze at the doorway,

00:20:44and it felt like all the blood in my body had run cold.

00:20:47In the living room,

00:20:48I could not see his expression,

00:20:50only his tense back.

00:20:51After a long silence,

00:20:53I 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.

00:21:01Then,

00:21:01right 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,

00:21:15each second feeling like a knife,

00:21:16stabbing into my eyes,

00:21:18and carving into my soul.

00:21:20I 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,

00:21:33threading 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.

00:21:42Instead,

00:21:42she wrapped her arms around his neck,

00:21:44and crossed his face against her.

00:21:46After a moment of silence,

00:21:48he lowered his head again.

00:21:49I could not watch anymore,

00:21:50and bolted into the rain.

00:21:52The storm poured down on me,

00:21:54but I felt no cold.

00:21:55My mind was filled with memories of our first time together,

00:21:59how careful Kieran had been,

00:22:01how 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.

00:22:12My heart ached,

00:22:13and 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,

00:22:32I heard Kieran's deep, gentle voice

00:22:33from the master bedroom.

00:22:35He was humming an old werewolf lullaby,

00:22:37one used to soothe their young.

00:22:39Of course,

00:22:40he was doing prenatal bonding

00:22:41with 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,

00:22:49saying,

00:22:49When we have our pup,

00:22:51I'll sing our ancestors' songs

00:22:53to help him sleep every...

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,

00:23:12when he got close,

00:23:13all I could see

00:23:14was 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

00:23:34for the time being.

00:23:35You'll stay in this room

00:23:36for the next few days

00:23:37and shouldn't leave

00:23:38in case they catch something from you.

00:23:40I'll have the door locked from the outside

00:23:41and Brad will bring you food and medicine.

00:23:46Without waiting for my response,

00:23:48Kieran practically fled the room

00:23:49to go care for Cecilia and Tyra.

00:23:51The lock clicked shut

00:23:53and my tears fell instantly.

00:23:55How ridiculous.

00:23:56I had once been the treasure

00:23:58he held in the palm of his hand,

00:24:00but 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.

00:24:10My fever would not break,

00:24:11leaving me dizzy and lightheaded

00:24:13while I constantly heard laughter

00:24:15and joy from outside.

00:24:17From the living room came the sound

00:24:19of a familiar, magical projection,

00:24:21playing one Kieran used to watch with me

00:24:23wrapped in his arms.

00:24:25Cecilia's soft voice drifted through the door,

00:24:27sweet and intimate.

00:24:29This scene always makes me cry.

00:24:31Hold me tighter, just like this.

00:24:34Kieran chuckled warmly.

00:24:36All right, come here.

00:24:38You're such a baby.

00:24:40They 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.

00:24:50Later that night,

00:24:51their 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.

00:25:06I 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.

00:25:18The 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.

00:25:31A 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.

00:25:39Lucian 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.

00:25:57Inside was a ring set with 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 a 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 guest circled Tyra, praising her endlessly.

00:26:26Tyra's cry is so strong!

00:26:27She'll definitely be a powerful warrior.

00:26:30Her eyes are like Cecilia's,

00:26:32with the color of moonlight.

00:26:33What a union of powerful bloodlines!

00:26:35Long live the Alpha, Chiron, and Miss Donari!

00:26:37I stood in the corner watching it all.

00:26:40My nails dug deep into my palms,

00:26:42but I felt no pain.

00:26:43I didn't expect that it would be to pose for a portrait.

00:26:46Cecilia suddenly walked toward me with a wine glass,

00:26:49her smile sweet.

00:26:50The artist carefully prepared his magical recording crystal.

00:26:54Miss George, Mrs. Donati,

00:26:55please stand a little closer.

00:26:57Cecilia 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.

00:27:07Look how good Kieran is to me now.

00:27:10Every night he stays with me,

00:27:12wrapping me in his Alpha aura until I sleep.

00:27:15I closed my eyes wearily,

00:27:17not 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,

00:27:35Kieran 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.

00:27:43Meanwhile,

00:27:43Cecilia was struck by splintered wood

00:27:45and 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.

00:27:52Cecilia!

00:27:52Kieran released me and rushed to her like a madman.

00:27:56Outside the operating room,

00:27:57Kieran paced anxiously.

00:27:59Watching his restless state,

00:28:01I remembered how he had kept watch by my bedside all night

00:28:04when I was injured while gathering herbs in the mountains.

00:28:07Alpha Kieran!

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.

00:28:17You're type A.

00:28:18And Miss George is 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,

00:28:28Kieran's gaze snapped to me.

00:28:30At that moment,

00:28:31I felt like I had been struck by lightning.

00:28:35I stepped back abruptly,

00:28:37my voice trembling.

00:28:39I 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!

00:28:49Kieran 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.

00:28:56If something happens,

00:28:57we'll never be able to leave.

00:28:58Do you understand?

00:28:59My heart clenched painfully.

00:29:01I wondered if he was afraid we could not leave,

00:29:03or that something would happen to their pup.

00:29:05What if I refuse?

00:29:06Kieran's face darkened.

00:29:07I saved you,

00:29:09and that was what caused Cecilia's injury.

00:29:11You owe her this.

00:29:13Is 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,

00:29:32who 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,

00:29:45you'd slave Cecilia and your pup first,

00:29:47wouldn't you?

00:29:48Kieran froze.

00:29:49What 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,

00:29:56and we'll lose both mother and pup.

00:29:58Alpha,

00:29:59make a decision quickly.

00:30:01Kieran's eyes hardened.

00:30:03Without further hesitation,

00:30:04he ordered the guards at the door.

00:30:06Take her to the blood drawing chamber.

00:30:08I 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.

00:30:15Throughout it all,

00:30:16Kieran never once looked back at me.

00:30:18When they had drawn two vials,

00:30:20the healer hesitated.

00:30:21Alpha,

00:30:22Miss George is too weak.

00:30:24If we draw more,

00:30:25I'm afraid.

00:30:26Continue.

00:30:27Kieran said without turning around.

00:30:29When they reached three vials,

00:30:31in my delirium,

00:30:32I seemed to see Kieran from when we first met,

00:30:35standing outside the herb shop,

00:30:37smiling at me.

00:30:38I'm Kieran Wolfe,

00:30:39and I'll be back tomorrow.

00:30:41In the final moment,

00:30:43I completely lost consciousness.

00:30:47When I woke up again,

00:30:48Kieran was sitting by the hospital bed.

00:30:50I thought he would coax me gently like before,

00:30:53begging for my forgiveness.

00:30:55Yet,

00:30:56when 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.

00:31:03What are you talking about?

00:31:04Kieran's eyes were sharp.

00:31:05The elders' council investigated,

00:31:07and found that someone had soared halfway through the totem pole's base.

00:31:12If it wasn't you,

00:31:13who else would be scheming so hard to harm Cecilia?

00:31:17A chill spread through me.

00:31:18I'll say it again.

00:31:20It wasn't me.

00:31:21Not this time.

00:31:22Not this time.

00:31:24Not the last time.

00:31:25Not the time before that.

00:31:27Do you believe me?

00:31:28Kieran,

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.

00:31:41You're still denying it!

00:31:43Kieran's eyes turned cold.

00:31:44You always ask me to believe you,

00:31:47but what have you done?

00:31:49Cecilia ends up hurt,

00:31:50while the pups are in danger.

00:31:53I told you.

00:31:55I 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,

00:32:20and never doubt me.

00:32:21In the end,

00:32:22I just looked at him wearily,

00:32:23my voice trembling,

00:32:25as I said,

00:32:26Fine.

00:32:28Since 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.

00:32:37Kieran froze instantly.

00:32:38His golden pupils contractly sharply.

00:32:41What 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.

00:32:56Kieran punched the nearby table,

00:32:58shattering it,

00:32:58as wood splinters flew everywhere.

00:33:00He grabbed my wrist,

00:33:02fury rolling in his eyes.

00:33:04Elise!

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 cheery eyes,

00:33:15saying nothing.

00:33:18After a long standoff,

00:33:19Kieran took a deep breath.

00:33:20He forcibly suppressed his anger

00:33:22and 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,

00:33:33and I won't hold it against you either.

00:33:35But 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, never!

00:33:42Everything I'm doing is for our future.

00:33:45I 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.

00:33:51No conditions.

00:33:52I asked softly,

00:33:54my voice numb.

00:33:55Kieran's body stiffened,

00:33:56and he was silent for a moment before 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, he 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 by an icy hand,

00:34:27each beat bringing tearing pain and absurdity.

00:34:30Kieran, oh Kieran,

00:34:31you already have children with her,

00:34:33and now you're even having the pack's most sacred

00:34:36moonlight vow ceremony.

00:34:38What part of this is fake?

00:34:40What am I supposed to be to you?

00:34:42Kieran 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.

00:34:54I slowly closed my eyes,

00:34:55letting those words turn to dust

00:34:57and settle on my already dead heart.

00:35:00I never spoke another word.

00:35:02Kieran stayed with me at the healer's chamber

00:35:04for three full days,

00:35:06caring for me meticulously.

00:35:07When feeding me medicine,

00:35:09he would always blow on it gently first,

00:35:11then carefully bring it to my lips.

00:35:13At night, if I made the slightest movement,

00:35:16he would wake up startled

00:35:17and frantically grab my hand

00:35:19until he was sure I was okay.

00:35:21When 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.

00:35:34However, after 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.

00:35:48In 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.

00:35:55On the day of the vow ceremony,

00:35:57my communication crystal was returned to me,

00:36:00filled with magical projections Cecilia had sent.

00:36:03Kieran, in 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.

00:36:11Their little family happily cutting a ceremonial bread together.

00:36:15Every projection was a blade carving deeper

00:36:17into my already broken heart.

00:36:19Every projection was a blade carving deeper

00:36:22into my already broken heart.

00:36:24Just as I was about to put the crystal away,

00:36:27the 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 and said,

00:36:34I guarantee that once you leave,

00:36:37he'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,

00:36:43the sun was shining.

00:36:44I did not look back,

00:36:45walking toward the carriage waiting by the roadside.

00:36:48I did not say goodbye to Kieran.

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 to keep a calm expression.

00:37:01This is only temporary.

00:37:03Everything I'm doing is for Elise.

00:37:05The 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 to greet my bride,

00:37:19but my legs felt heavy.

00:37:20The alpha and his mate will 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,

00:37:29my fingertips trembling slightly.

00:37:30Just as my fingertips were about to touch the dagger,

00:37:33a violent burning pain from 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,

00:37:41and I seemed to hear Elise's desperate voice in my ears.

00:37:43Kieran,

00:37:44are you really going to take a blood oath with her?

00:37:47What about me?

00:37:48What do our vows mean?

00:37:49The voice was distant,

00:37:51yet unbearably real.

00:37:54I shook my head

00:37:55and forced myself to calm down.

00:37:57Lucian told me,

00:37:58Elise is waiting for me in the mansion

00:38:00and she won't go anywhere.

00:38:01Don't scare yourself.

00:38:03Throughout the entire process,

00:38:04I was like a puppet.

00:38:06Now, 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.

00:38:19The ceremony is complete.

00:38:21Congratulations 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 floors shot into the sky,

00:38:31exploding in the shape of wolfhats.

00:38:33The grand ceremony was finally over.

00:38:36After that,

00:38:37I violently tore off

00:38:38the gorgeous ceremonial robes

00:38:39and burst forth

00:38:40with 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!

00:38:51I slammed through the heavy doors

00:38:53in my massive wolf form,

00:38:55charging forward

00:38:55at breakneck speed,

00:38:57leaving destruction in my wake.

00:38:58The moment I shifted back

00:39:00to human form,

00:39:01I sprinted toward Elise's room

00:39:02with desperate urgency.

00:39:04Elise!

00:39:05The ceremony's over!

00:39:06We can leave now!

00:39:07Right now!

00:39:08The next moment,

00:39:09the smile on my face froze.

00:39:10It was empty.

00:39:13The closet hung bare.

00:39:15The vanity sat stripped.

00:39:17Elise!

00:39:19Elise!

00:39:20Panic surged through me.

00:39:21I spun around

00:39:22and tore through the estate,

00:39:24the library,

00:39:24the lounge,

00:39:25even the armory.

00:39:26I grabbed the trembling housekeeper.

00:39:28Where is she?

00:39:29I told you to watch her!

00:39:32I had locked her door,

00:39:33increased the guards,

00:39:35ordered the servants

00:39:35to monitor her every move.

00:39:37A human like Elise

00:39:38couldn't leave

00:39:39packed territory alone.

00:39:40So why was she gone?

00:39:42The housekeeper

00:39:43was too terrified to speak.

00:39:44Lucien emerged

00:39:45from the shadows.

00:39:46Stop looking, Kieran.

00:39:48She's already gone.

00:39:49I whipped around.

00:39:50Gone where?

00:39:50Somewhere you'll never find her.

00:39:52The moonlight vow is done.

00:39:54Focus on being alpha

00:39:55and stay with Cecilia

00:39:57and 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.

00:40:03She 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

00:40:09with Cecilia.

00:40:10Did you force her to leave?

00:40:12My alpha aura burst out,

00:40:13making the walls vibrant.

00:40:17I agreed to have pups

00:40:18with Cecilia.

00:40:19I went through

00:40:20the moonlight vow.

00:40:22I gave you everything!

00:40:24Why did you still

00:40:25drive her away?

00:40:27Lucien stepped forward

00:40:28and 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,

00:40:37in Elise's handwriting,

00:40:38To Ciaran.

00:40:39My fingers trembled

00:40:40as I took the letter.

00:40:41The paper tore.

00:40:43Inside was a letter.

00:40:44Her script beautiful and neat.

00:40:46By the time you read this,

00:40:48I'll be gone.

00:40:49You won't find me.

00:40:51I'm leaving

00:40:52because I don't want

00:40:53to wait anymore.

00:40:54First you said

00:40:55you just needed an heir.

00:40:57I believed you.

00:40:58Then Tyra was born

00:40:59and you said

00:41:00you needed more time.

00:41:01I believed that too.

00:41:03Then you said

00:41:04you needed a son.

00:41:05I tried to believe.

00:41:08But now you're

00:41:09taking a blood oath

00:41:10with her

00:41:10under the moon goddess witness.

00:41:13Ciaran,

00:41:13how much longer

00:41:14was I supposed to wait?

00:41:15I'm human.

00:41:16My life is short.

00:41:17I can't endure

00:41:19endless waiting.

00:41:20When the moonlight vow

00:41:21echoed through

00:41:21the sacred grounds,

00:41:22everything between us

00:41:23ended.

00:41:25The mate bond

00:41:26is severed.

00:41:27We will never

00:41:28see each other again.

00:41:29Elise.

00:41:32Only then did I understand.

00:41:34The pain during the vow.

00:41:35My wolf's restless howling

00:41:37it had come from

00:41:37the mate bond severing.

00:41:39I destroyed our love

00:41:40with my own hands.

00:41:41I read the letter again.

00:41:42The paper shook

00:41:43in my trembling fingers.

00:41:45A metallic taste

00:41:46surged up my throat.

00:41:48The world twisted

00:41:49and spun.

00:41:50Colors bled away.

00:41:51The floor collapsed

00:41:52in my feet.

00:41:53My entire world

00:41:54plunged into darkness.

00:41:55Alpha Ciaran!

00:41:56Get the healer!

00:41:57Now!

00:41:59Overnight,

00:41:59the entire north

00:42:00buzzed with gossip

00:42:01about the wolf family's

00:42:02humiliation.

00:42:03I stood in the destroyed room,

00:42:05glaring at Lucian

00:42:06and at Cecilia,

00:42:07who clutched Tyra

00:42:08while sobbing.

00:42:08I tightened my grip

00:42:10on the knife

00:42:10against my wrist.

00:42:11Let me go find her,

00:42:13or we'll all die together.

00:42:14I still believed

00:42:15Lucian,

00:42:16or Cecilia,

00:42:17had driven Elise away.

00:42:19The moment I woke up,

00:42:20I planned to find her

00:42:21and run away.

00:42:21But the elders

00:42:22drugged me

00:42:23and brought Cecilia

00:42:24and 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.

00:42:30So was my weakness.

00:42:31I had nothing to lose.

00:42:35Put the knife down!

00:42:37You're disgracing this pack!

00:42:38Ciaran,

00:42:39please,

00:42:40stay for our pups.

00:42:42Everyone pressured me

00:42:43to stay with someone

00:42:44I didn't love.

00:42:45Raised 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!

00:42:53I 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.

00:43:02Back then,

00:43:02the elders' council

00:43:03had conspired with Cecilia

00:43:05to drug her.

00:43:05When I woke up,

00:43:06I wanted to strangle her,

00:43:08then kill myself.

00:43:09The elders begged me.

00:43:10We just want an heir.

00:43:12You are the heir

00:43:13we raised for over 20 years!

00:43:16They wouldn't let me run away

00:43:17with Elise

00:43:17without leaving them anything.

00:43:18Even Cecilia

00:43:19knelt in front of me

00:43:20and begged.

00:43:22Ciaran,

00:43:22I've loved you

00:43:23for so many years.

00:43:24I've always loved you.

00:43:26Please give me a chance.

00:43:27Her voice trembled

00:43:28as 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

00:43:34leave with Elise.

00:43:35I won't stand in your way anymore.

00:43:37Just please accept me.

00:43:39I gave in,

00:43:39but their greed kept growing.

00:43:41After Tyra was born,

00:43:43they demanded a son.

00:43:44They kept forcing me

00:43:45to compromise.

00:43:46Now that I'd finally found freedom,

00:43:48they'd driven Elise away.

00:43:50I couldn't accept it.

00:43:51Suddenly,

00:43:52Cecilia bent over,

00:43:54clutching her stomach.

00:43:55It hurts!

00:43:58Blood stained the white fabric

00:44:00under Cecilia's dress.

00:44:01Quick!

00:44:02Get help!

00:44:02After chaos,

00:44:04the elders rushed

00:44:04the miscarrying Cecilia

00:44:06to the healer's chamber.

00:44:07Cecilia's mother,

00:44:08Helena Greymark,

00:44:09slapped me across the face.

00:44:10Blood trickled

00:44:11from the corner of my mouth,

00:44:12but I stood

00:44:13like a soulless puppet.

00:44:14Mrs. Donati,

00:44:15this was our fault.

00:44:16Once Cecilia recovers,

00:44:18I'll make sure

00:44:18Kian takes care of her.

00:44:20Take care of her.

00:44:21Kian is ready to run off

00:44:22with another woman.

00:44:23Cecilia has sacrificed

00:44:24everything for him.

00:44:25Bore him one pup

00:44:26carrying another,

00:44:27and this is how you treat her?

00:44:28Apologize!

00:44:29Now!

00:44:29I didn't move.

00:44:30I hadn't done anything wrong.

00:44:32Screaming,

00:44:33pleading,

00:44:34chaos,

00:44:34all crushing me.

00:44:35Then an angry roar echoed,

00:44:37This is a healer's chamber!

00:44:39Keep it down!

00:44:40The patient is coming out!

00:44:41The healer's chamber doors opened.

00:44:44Cecilia lay on the bed,

00:44:45face pale,

00:44:46magical breathing mask on.

00:44:48She just finished post-partum recovery

00:44:50and is pregnant again.

00:44:52Her body is extremely weak.

00:44:53She needs three months

00:44:54of strict bed rest.

00:44:55If she loses this pup too,

00:44:57it'll be much harder

00:44:57for her to conceive again.

00:44:59The 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!

00:45:05I have to find her!

00:45:06I wheeled toward the exit,

00:45:08but Lucian's guards blocked my path.

00:45:10Alpha,

00:45:11you 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.

00:45:23Even though I couldn't stand Cecilia,

00:45:25she was carrying my child.

00:45:27Soon,

00:45:27I was wheeled to her isolation chamber.

00:45:29Just as the guard was about to knock,

00:45:31voices drifted out.

00:45:32Mom,

00:45:33your fake misperage plan was brilliant.

00:45:36It worked perfectly

00:45:37to keep Kian here again.

00:45:39Her 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

00:45:44have little accidents

00:45:45from time to time,

00:45:47Kieran will eventually stay for good?

00:45:52Those words slithered into my ears like venom.

00:45:55My 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.

00:46:03Of course,

00:46:04Elise 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,

00:46:12just 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,

00:46:19don't risk too much.

00:46:20Don't worry,

00:46:21I know my limits.

00:46:22But I already promised Kylan

00:46:23I'd let him leave after the ceremony.

00:46:25Even with this fake miscarriage,

00:46:26what 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.

00:46:40Veins 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.

00:46:50All those nights I abandoned Elise,

00:46:52letting 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.

00:47:01No potion smell.

00:47:03No distant murmurs.

00:47:04Only the thunderous roar of blood in my ears.

00:47:08A 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.

00:47:18I 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

00:47:32he'd adored for years

00:47:33was actually an illegitimate daughter with no status.

00:47:35The Wolf family was a century-old dynasty.

00:47:38Every 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.

00:47:51She was beautiful, charming,

00:47:53and had lowered herself to carry my pups

00:47:55before 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,

00:48:06Alpha Orion Donati,

00:48:07hadn't been seen since the ceremony.

00:48:10Lucian burst through the door.

00:48:12You despicable liars!

00:48:14How dare you deceive me!

00:48:16Screams erupted.

00:48:17Things were thrown and smashed.

00:48:20I wheeled inside.

00:48:21Cecilia panicked,

00:48:23tried to get up,

00:48:24collapsed to the floor.

00:48:25She crawled tearfully to my feet.

00:48:27Kieran, 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.

00:48:37She thought she'd won me over,

00:48:38gotten to bear children for the man she adored.

00:48:40But now, everything was ruined.

00:48:42I knew the truth.

00:48:44Lucian knew.

00:48:44Soon the entire wolf family would know.

00:48:47Orion had his legitimate wife and daughter.

00:48:50Attending 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.

00:48:58In 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.

00:49:06Don't ever appear in front of me again.

00:49:08As I turned to leave,

00:49:10Cecilia tried to chase after me.

00:49:14Sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen.

00:49:17She looked down at her dress in disbelief.

00:49:20Warm 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,

00:49:31both the pack and its estates and businesses.

00:49:33While managing the empire,

00:49:34I kept searching for Elise.

00:49:36After one week,

00:49:37exhaustion was etched across my face.

00:49:40Still nothing.

00:49:41The guard stayed silent,

00:49:42lowering his head.

00:49:44Lucian and the elders had finally agreed

00:49:45to let me bring Elise in as my Luna.

00:49:48Even without their approval,

00:49:49I would have found Elise

00:49:50and overcome every obstacle to be with her.

00:49:53Now 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 Hindland.

00:50:01But when my people tracked her there,

00:50:02she had never arrived.

00:50:04She had changed ships mid-journey.

00:50:06Then she had boarded a local carriage.

00:50:08Where 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,

00:50:16Mr. Naughty,

00:50:17Cher has returned.

00:50:18Cher refuses to leave.

00:50:21Ever since the falling out,

00:50:23Cecilia had miscarried,

00:50:24and Helena had fallen seriously ill.

00:50:27Both women's status had plummeted.

00:50:29Jacob walked into my office

00:50:30with a troubled expression.

00:50:32Boss,

00:50:32Cecilia Iask kneeling in the lobby again

00:50:34with the child.

00:50:35Tyra has been crying through Verenhauer.

00:50:37The guards don't dare drag them away

00:50:39because 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.

00:50:53She's your daughter, too.

00:50:55Stay with us.

00:50:56Just come back.

00:50:57I'll be good.

00:50:59I 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

00:51:11half of Cecilia's blood.

00:51:13She might grow up to be

00:51:14just as malicious as her mother.

00:51:15My last trace of pity

00:51:17completely evaporated.

00:51:18I kept scrolling for news about Elise.

00:51:21When Jacob waited too long

00:51:22and was about to take matters

00:51:23into his own hands,

00:51:24I finally spoke.

00:51:25If you ever dare bother me

00:51:26with 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.

00:51:44Finally,

00:51:44the 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.

00:51:52Kieran!

00:51:54Kieran!

00:51:56Why is it you?

00:51:58Where's Kieran?

00:52:00Jacob looked at her blankly.

00:52:02Mrs. Donati,

00:52:03Mr. Weil has made everything clear.

00:52:04Since you enjoy tormenting

00:52:06pups so much,

00:52:07you don't need to raise Tyra anymore.

00:52:09Cecilia's expression changed.

00:52:10She hugged Tyra tighter.

00:52:12What do you mean?

00:52:14Healed leather boots

00:52:15clicked behind her.

00:52:16Her half-sister,

00:52:17Giselle 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.

00:52:39She won't be coming back.

00:52:40Also,

00:52:41congratulations on 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

00:52:50I 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,

00:53:00I caught up on Ciaran

00:53:01and Cecilia's aftermath

00:53:02through parchment scrolls

00:53:04brought by a travelling merchant

00:53:05while hiding out

00:53:06in a small mountain village

00:53:08in neutral territory,

00:53:09working as a teacher.

00:53:10My heart filled with mixed emotions

00:53:12at this outcome.

00:53:14After all,

00:53:15in my memory,

00:53:16even though Ciaran

00:53:17did not love Cecilia,

00:53:18he had still cared for her somewhat

00:53:20for the sake of their two pups.

00:53:22Yet 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

00:53:33growing 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.

00:53:46Miss Eliza,

00:53:48are you looking at the mountains again?

00:53:50Will the big bad wolves from the north

00:53:52come here?

00:53:53The little rabbit-eared girl

00:53:54climbed onto my lap,

00:53:55hugging my arm tightly.

00:53:57Teacher,

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

00:54:05her fluffy ears.

00:54:07No one bullied me, Mia.

00:54:08I'm just thinking.

00:54:10Some people's stories

00:54:12have ended

00:54:12and mine has only just begun.

00:54:16Then 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.

00:54:44One 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

00:54:54secured another investor

00:54:55from up north.

00:54:57They're coming to inspect next week.

00:54:59Elise,

00:55:00will you be there

00:55:01to 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,

00:55:08Kelly said with some regret.

00:55:10I heard the Wolf family heir,

00:55:12Alpha Kieran,

00:55:13is incredibly handsome

00:55:15and rich.

00:55:17If he's the one coming.

00:55:18I smiled and said nothing.

00:55:20I had worked so hard

00:55:22to move on.

00:55:22I didn't want to see Kieran again.

00:55:25Margaret also tried

00:55:26to persuade me,

00:55:27but I firmly refused.

00:55:28Mrs. Lott,

00:55:30please help cover for me

00:55:31when the time comes.

00:55:32Margaret sighed,

00:55:33but eventually

00:55:34respected my decision.

00:55:36But I never expected

00:55:38to see Kieran again so soon.

00:55:40Late that night,

00:55:41when I finally returned

00:55:42to the orphanage

00:55:43with the other teachers,

00:55:44I immediately spotted

00:55:45Kieran's familiar black carriage

00:55:47bearing the Wolf family crest.

00:55:49My heart tightened.

00:55:50As I was about to walk past it,

00:55:52the carriage door opened.

00:55:54The door opened without warning,

00:55:56and the two people

00:55:57who thought they would

00:55:57never see each other again

00:55:59suddenly came face to face.

00:56:01Time froze at that moment.

00:56:02The earthy smell

00:56:04of rain-soaked soil vanished,

00:56:05and the distant sounds

00:56:07of children playing

00:56:07in the woods disappeared,

00:56:09leaving only the wild beating

00:56:10of Kieran's heart

00:56:11and his rapid breathing.

00:56:14Kieran had not expected

00:56:15to actually see me here either.

00:56:17I looked at Kieran as well,

00:56:19never having imagined

00:56:20I 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

00:56:28like sand falling backward

00:56:30in an hourglass,

00:56:31with those painful scenes

00:56:32replaying one by one

00:56:34in my mind.

00:56:34Kylan,

00:56:36why do you still

00:56:37keep 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

00:56:44as he finally spoke.

00:56:45I found out the truth

00:56:46about Cecilia.

00:56:47Everything.

00:56:48How she schemed.

00:56:50How she lied.

00:56:51How she tried to destroy you.

00:56:52I saw her true nature

00:56:54with my own eyes.

00:56:55He paused,

00:56:56swallowing hard.

00:56:57I dealt with her.

00:56:58She won't ever appear

00:56:59in front of you again.

00:57:01Tyra,

00:57:01I sent her to a remote

00:57:03pack orphanage.

00:57:04She'll be raised

00:57:05far 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.

00:57:13We were blind,

00:57:14Elise.

00:57:15I was blind.

00:57:16He reached out

00:57:17as if wanting to touch me,

00:57:18but stopped halfway

00:57:19and clenched his fist.

00:57:21These past months

00:57:22while searching for you,

00:57:24I almost went mad.

00:57:26I couldn't eat,

00:57:27couldn't sleep.

00:57:28My fingers clutched the parchment

00:57:30that my whole body trembled.

00:57:31It was not relief,

00:57:32or grief.

00:57:33It was the sudden,

00:57:35brutal,

00:57:36tearing away of a scar.

00:57:37A truth too long delayed,

00:57:39now ripping open a scab

00:57:40that had never really healed,

00:57:42revealing the festering wound

00:57:44still raw beneath.

00:57:45It was too late.

00:57:46Everything was too late.

00:57:47I had long passed the point

00:57:49of needing the truth exposed,

00:57:50and I no longer needed

00:57:51Ciaran's attempts

00:57:52at reconciliation

00:57:53or his regret.

00:57:55Ciaran,

00:57:55I can't go back with you,

00:57:56and we can't return

00:57:57to how things were.

00:57:59When I saw you

00:58:00being intimate with her,

00:58:01I kept wondering

00:58:02if I was the other woman.

00:58:04No, Elise.

00:58:05You weren't the other woman.

00:58:07You'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

00:58:18how it was for me.

00:58:20You had pups with her,

00:58:22sealed a vow

00:58:23under the moon goddess,

00:58:24and lived like a true pair

00:58:26in every way.

00:58:27To everyone else,

00:58:28she was your mate.

00:58:29So why did you come

00:58:31looking for me?

00:58:31There was already

00:58:32an impossibly wide distance

00:58:34between us

00:58:34that neither of us

00:58:35could cross,

00:58:36and I did not want

00:58:37to try crossing it again.

00:58:38Go back.

00:58:40Ciaran,

00:58:41this isn't where you belong.

00:58:42Thunder rumbled

00:58:43across the horizon.

00:58:44I refused to argue further

00:58:46and turned toward my door.

00:58:48The second I reached my room,

00:58:50torrential rain

00:58:50began pouring outside.

00:58:52However,

00:58:53he still stood motionless

00:58:54in the storm.

00:58:55I frowned

00:58:56and was about to

00:58:57pull the curtains closed

00:58:58when someone began

00:58:59pounding frantically

00:59:00on my door.

00:59:01Mrs. George,

00:59:02come out quickly!

00:59:04A child is missing!

00:59:07I immediately joined

00:59:08the search.

00:59:09Together with another teacher,

00:59:10Miss Lena,

00:59:11we hurried through

00:59:12the heavy rain

00:59:12toward the missing boy

00:59:13Elliot's home.

00:59:15The downpour was so heavy

00:59:16we could barely see

00:59:17the path ahead.

00:59:18Suddenly,

00:59:19distant rumbling sounds

00:59:20echoed from the mountain valley.

00:59:22Miss 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

00:59:34and 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

00:59:42terrified 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

00:59:52to 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

00:59:59without her toys!

01:00:01Tears streamed down

01:00:02his small face

01:00:03as he hugged

01:00:03the toys tighter.

01:00:05Elliot,

01:00:06listen to me.

01:00:07I promise I'll bring

01:00:09every single one

01:00:09of your mum's toys

01:00:10back safely.

01:00:12But right now,

01:00:13you have to go

01:00:14with Miss Lena.

01:00:15It's dangerous here!

01:00:16You swear?

01:00:18You really promise?

01:00:19I swear.

01:00:21Now go!

01:00:22I quickly handed him

01:00:23to Miss Lena.

01:00:24Take him and run!

01:00:25Don't stop

01:00:26until you reach high ground!

01:00:27After they disappeared

01:00:28into the rain,

01:00:29I grabbed a sack

01:00:30and frantically

01:00:32stuffed all the toys

01:00:33inside.

01:00:34Just as I slung

01:00:35the heavy bag

01:00:35over my shoulder,

01:00:36the rumbling

01:00:37turned into a deafening roar.

01:00:39The landslide

01:00:40exploded through the window

01:00:41in a surge of mud,

01:00:42rock and debris.

01:00:45Time froze.

01:00:46Terror gripped me.

01:00:47My vision was filled

01:00:48only with that murky

01:00:49thick sludge

01:00:50mixed with broken

01:00:51wood and debris.

01:00:52It roared

01:00:53as it pulled

01:00:54over the windowsill

01:00:55like the gates

01:00:55of hell opening wide.

01:00:57The putrid,

01:00:58earthy stench

01:00:59instantly flooded

01:01:00my nostrils.

01:01:01My mind went blank.

01:01:03No!

01:01:04No!

01:01:05I slumped helplessly

01:01:07against the wall,

01:01:08watching the wave

01:01:08of death crash

01:01:09toward me.

01:01:10Just then,

01:01:11a massive white wolf

01:01:12burst through

01:01:13the churning mud

01:01:14and caves,

01:01:15lunging straight at me.

01:01:16My eyes

01:01:17flew wide open.

01:01:18Kieran,

01:01:19Kieran,

01:01:20what are you?

01:01:21The moment he charged in,

01:01:22his golden wolf eyes

01:01:23locked onto me

01:01:24with fierce intensity.

01:01:26Kieran,

01:01:26deep,

01:01:27urgent growl

01:01:28through mind link.

01:01:29Hold 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

01:01:34shoulder into my stomach,

01:01:35lifting me clean

01:01:36off the ground.

01:01:37The world spun

01:01:38as he tossed me

01:01:39across his broad back

01:01:40like lugging.

01:01:40Kieran,

01:01:41wait!

01:01:42He barreled

01:01:43toward the wooden door

01:01:44that led to the slope

01:01:45beyond

01:01:45and smashed through it

01:01:47with bone-rattling force.

01:01:52The door shattered,

01:01:54but a sickening crack

01:01:55followed.

01:01:56Kieran's entire body

01:01:57jolted violently.

01:01:58A muffled,

01:01:59pained groan

01:02:00tore from between

01:02:01his clenched teeth.

01:02:02I froze in horror

01:02:03and looked down.

01:02:04My heart seemed to stop.

01:02:06A jagged,

01:02:07wooden shard

01:02:07from the broken frame

01:02:09had pierced deep

01:02:10into his right side.

01:02:11Kieran!

01:02:12Oh God!

01:02:13No!

01:02:14You're hurt!

01:02:14My hands scrambled

01:02:16desperately to the wound.

01:02:17Hot, sticky blood

01:02:18instantly soaked my palms.

01:02:20Put me down,

01:02:21Kieran, please!

01:02:22You're bleeding too much!

01:02:24Stop!

01:02:24I pressed hard

01:02:25against the gash,

01:02:26but nothing could stop

01:02:27the steady rush of crimson

01:02:29pouring out

01:02:29between my fingers.

01:02:30Yet Kieran acted

01:02:31as if the pain

01:02:32did not exist.

01:02:33He kept charging up

01:02:34the steep slope,

01:02:35powerful muscles

01:02:36straining beneath me.

01:02:37Hold on.

01:02:39Don't let go.

01:02:41I'm getting you

01:02:41out of here.

01:02:42The overwhelming

01:02:43mudslide roared

01:02:44behind us,

01:02:45sweeping up trees

01:02:46and boulders

01:02:46like they were nothing,

01:02:47chasing us relentlessly.

01:02:49Kieran,

01:02:49you're going to die

01:02:50like 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

01:02:57grew heavier,

01:02:58but his pace

01:02:58never slowed.

01:02:59I didn't know

01:03:00how long it lasted.

01:03:01But finally,

01:03:02the deafening roar

01:03:03of the landslide

01:03:04faded into the distance.

01:03:09We were safe,

01:03:10or so I thought.

01:03:11Suddenly,

01:03:12the world tilted again.

01:03:14Kieran,

01:03:15who had been carrying me,

01:03:16could no longer hold on.

01:03:17His massive body

01:03:18collapsed heavily

01:03:19toward the ground,

01:03:20but he still carefully

01:03:22protected me

01:03:23in his embrace.

01:03:25Kieran!

01:03:26Just then,

01:03:27I heard the sharp roar

01:03:29of a rescue horn

01:03:30echo in the distance.

01:03:31I tore off my cloak

01:03:32and waved it frantically.

01:03:34Soon after,

01:03:35Kieran and I

01:03:35were rushed by carriage

01:03:36to the nearest infirmary.

01:03:37Kieran was rushed

01:03:38straight to the healer's

01:03:40emergency room.

01:03:41After signing all the forms,

01:03:42exhaustion and shock

01:03:44finally 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

01:03:50looked at me

01:03:51with a heavy sigh

01:03:52and said,

01:03:53The treatment was

01:03:53a complete success,

01:03:54but due to massive

01:03:56blood loss

01:03:56and an old condition,

01:03:58Kieran has fallen

01:03:59into a coma.

01:03:59He might wake up tomorrow

01:04:01or he might never

01:04:02wake up at all.

01:04:03My knees buckled.

01:04:05I covered my mouth

01:04:06as tears instantly

01:04:07spilled down my face.

01:04:08No matter what had

01:04:09happened between us,

01:04:10he had saved my life.

01:04:12I pushed open the door

01:04:13to his room

01:04:14and sat beside his bed,

01:04:15staring at his

01:04:16unconscious face.

01:04:19On the third day,

01:04:20Lucian arrived.

01:04:21He looked exhausted

01:04:22and for the first time

01:04:23bowed his head,

01:04:25apologizing before

01:04:26handing me a worn journal.

01:04:27After you left,

01:04:28Kieran recorded in this

01:04:29with a quill

01:04:30every single day.

01:04:32He wanted to show it

01:04:33to you himself.

01:04:35I slowly opened the journal.

01:04:36Wolf calendar year 818,

01:04:38month of thaw.

01:04:39Today,

01:04:40Elise and I made it official.

01:04:41This journal is her

01:04:42first gift to me.

01:04:43I'm so happy.

01:04:45I'll treasure her

01:04:46and I'll never let her down.

01:04:47For the next three years,

01:04:49every page overflowed

01:04:50with his deep love for me.

01:04:52Then the entries stopped

01:04:53after the elders

01:04:53threatened mass suicide.

01:04:55Two pages were torn through

01:04:56with massive letters.

01:04:58The journal stayed blank

01:04:59for a year and a half.

01:05:01The final entries were written

01:05:02after he came looking for me.

01:05:03Elise,

01:05:04I'm so sorry.

01:05:05I kept asking you

01:05:06to wait just a little longer.

01:05:07At first,

01:05:08I thought I could finish it quickly.

01:05:10But after Tyra was born,

01:05:11my heart started changing.

01:05:12I got soft again and again.

01:05:14Every moment of weakness

01:05:15turned into knives

01:05:17stabbing 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

01:05:22and traveled anywhere you wanted.

01:05:24But I know it's too late now.

01:05:26I closed the journal.

01:05:28Medical staff wheeled Kieran

01:05:29out on a gurney.

01:05:31Lucian planned to take him north

01:05:32for better treatment.

01:05:34I handed the journal back to Lucian

01:05:36with steady hands.

01:05:37If he ever wakes up,

01:05:38please tell him that

01:05:39everything from the past

01:05:40ends here.

01:05:41From now on,

01:05:42we're like two parallel lines

01:05:44that will never cross again.

01:05:46Elise,

01:05:48are you really sure?

01:05:49After everything he did

01:05:50for 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

01:05:57anything anymore.

01:05:58We're even now.

01:06:00This is goodbye.

01:06:01Without another glance at Lucian

01:06:03or the unconscious Kieran,

01:06:04I turned and walked firmly

01:06:06in the opposite direction.

01:06:08I was ready to start my new life.

01:06:10This was our final goodbye.

01:06:12We would never see each other again.

01:06:15Three months had passed

01:06:17since that day.

01:06:18I thought I had finally buried

01:06:19the past in this quiet mountain village.

01:06:21The children's laughter

01:06:22filled my days

01:06:23and the simple rhythm

01:06:25of grading parchment scrolls

01:06:26under a dim oil lamp

01:06:28brought me a fragile peace.

01:06:30Until that stormy night,

01:06:32frantic knocking

01:06:33shattered the silence.

01:06:34Before I could answer,

01:06:36the door burst open

01:06:37with a violent bang.

01:06:39A tall, blood-soaked figure

01:06:40stumbled in Kieran.

01:06:42His healer's linen tunic

01:06:43hung in tatters,

01:06:45bandages across his chest

01:06:46already soaked crimson.

01:06:47Rain and blood streaked his face.

01:06:49Those once familiar golden eyes,

01:06:51now wild and bloodshot,

01:06:53locked onto me.

01:06:54Kieran.

01:06:54He didn't speak.

01:06:55He staggered forward

01:06:56and dropped heavily to his knees,

01:06:59forehead slamming against

01:07:00the wooden floor

01:07:01with a dull thud.

01:07:02I'm sorry.

01:07:04Alyssa.

01:07:05His voice was raw,

01:07:06broken,

01:07:06repeating over and over

01:07:08as tears mixed with rain

01:07:09and blood dripped onto my feet.

01:07:11I stood frozen,

01:07:13ice spreading through my veins.

01:07:16He crawled forward on his knees

01:07:18and clutched the hem of my dress

01:07:20like a dying man,

01:07:21his burning forehead

01:07:22pressed against my legs.

01:07:23I woke up

01:07:24and the first thing

01:07:25I 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

01:07:34from the beginning.

01:07:35I should have fought the elders,

01:07:36the whole pack,

01:07:37everything.

01:07:37I never should have made you

01:07:38suffer 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,

01:07:47my life.

01:07:47Just don't leave me.

01:07:49Please.

01:07:49My heart twisted painfully

01:07:51as his blood soaked

01:07:52through my dress.

01:07:53I tried to step back

01:07:55but he rose abruptly

01:07:56and crushed me into his arms.

01:07:58His kiss was fierce,

01:08:00tasting of blood,

01:08:01rain,

01:08:01and desperate regret.

01:08:03He pressed me against the wall,

01:08:05body burning and trembling.

01:08:07I love you, Elise.

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

01:08:16with all my strength,

01:08:17my voice shaking

01:08:18but resolute.

01:08:19Kieran Wolf,

01:08:20I once loved you enough

01:08:21to die for you

01:08:22but you killed that love

01:08:23piece by piece.

01:08:26Every time you chose them over me,

01:08:28every 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

01:08:35from reopened wounds.

01:08:37I don't hate you anymore,

01:08:39I whispered,

01:08:40but I will never

01:08:41go back to you.

01:08:42Silence swallowed the room,

01:08:44broken only by the brain.

01:08:45He knelt again,

01:08:46pressing his forehead

01:08:47to the floor.

01:08:48Then let me stay here.

01:08:49Let me guard you

01:08:50from afar.

01:08:52Even if you never

01:08:53look at me again,

01:08:54I only ask to love you

01:08:56for 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

01:09:01under the moon goddess.

01:09:04I didn't let him stay.

01:09:05That night,

01:09:06after he left,

01:09:07I packed what little I had

01:09:09and slipped away

01:09:10from the village

01:09:10before 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

01:09:16about werewolves,

01:09:17alphas,

01:09:18or broken mates.

01:09:19I never saw Kieran again.

01:09:21I made sure of it.

01:09:24Years passed.

01:09:25One rainy autumn evening,

01:09:27a letter arrived

01:09:28from the north.

01:09:29It was from an old

01:09:30pack member.

01:09:32Kieran had been diagnosed

01:09:33with a rare,

01:09:34aggressive cancer

01:09:35that even his alpha blood

01:09:37couldn't fight.

01:09:38He refused every treatment

01:09:39that would keep him alive longer

01:09:40if it meant leaving the village.

01:09:42He stayed there,

01:09:43waiting.

01:09:44He died quietly at dawn,

01:09:46alone in the same mountain cabin

01:09:48where he had once

01:09:49knelt before me.

01:09:49In his arms,

01:09:51they found a worn photograph

01:09:52of me,

01:09:52the only one he had kept.

01:09:54His fingers were still

01:09:55curled gently around it,

01:09:56as if even in death

01:09:58he couldn't let go.

01:09:59I read the letter once,

01:10:00then burned it.

01:10:02I didn't cry.

01:10:04I had already cried

01:10:05all my tears for him

01:10:06years ago.

01:10:07Some love,

01:10:08no matter how deep,

01:10:09can only end in silence.

01:10:12Perhaps this was the mercy

01:10:13we both had.
