AmusantTranscription
00:00Damon had his people throw me off the pack hall at our mating ceremony.
00:03Vivian's pup needs a father on paper. Once my bond with her is dissolved, I will marry you.
00:08Everyone assumed I would wait one more month. After all, I had already waited seven years.
00:13But that very same night, I accepted my family's marriage arrangement.
00:15I flew across the border and left Damon's world. For good.
00:19Three years later, I returned to the old territory with my husband for the ancestral rights.
00:23Ethan was held up by something urgent, so we fly separately.
00:26He sent people from a pack he had acquired three years ago to pick me up.
00:30In the crowd at the arrival gate, I spotted a sign. It bore my pack name, Lena.
00:34I walked toward it. The person holding the sign looked up. It was Damon.
00:37Vivian stood beside him, along with a group of old friends from years past.
00:41They were waiting for me. They didn't know the person they were waiting for was me.
00:44Damon saw me. He startled for a second. Then that self-important smile slid back onto his face.
00:49See? I told you she'd come back. Damon, isn't that your little lapdog, Lena?
00:55Someone in the crowd recognized me. Laughter erupted.
00:57She disappeared for three years and now that Damon's made it big, she comes crawling back?
01:01Dressed like that? She can't even afford a decent outfit? Things must have gone badly out there, huh, Lena?
01:06I glanced down at the heartstone chain on my wrist, the one worth $20 million.
01:10I said nothing. Whenever I used to see Damon, I dressed to perfection.
01:14The most flawless makeup. The most tailored gown. Putting my very best self on display for him.
01:19And now, this outfit was custom-made for me by someone Ethan had commissioned.
01:23Because I was pregnant, and he refused to let me wear anything restrictive.
01:26I didn't need to dress up for anyone anymore all for comfort.
01:29I also understood what was happening.
01:30They only knew my pack name. They had no idea the person they were here to collect was me.
01:35So they were still mocking me, still unaware of what they were doing.
01:39The silence stretched too long. One of Damon's old friends stepped in to smooth things over.
01:44Lena, it's good that you're back. Damon's actually been looking for you all these years.
01:49The smile on Damon's face stiffened for a beat.
01:51Vivian's pup is starting academy soon. You'll be responsible for drop-offs and pick-ups from now on.
01:55Three years had passed. He was exactly the same.
01:57That sense of entitlement. That air of superiority. I was about to reveal who I was.
02:02Lena, don't blame Damon. He's arranging this for your own good.
02:06The way you've been getting by out there, you don't even qualify to be my personal secretary.
02:11Help me look after my son. No one will look down on you for that.
02:15Damon caught me frowning and assumed I was jealous. A flicker of satisfaction crossed his eyes.
02:19Alright, if the outside world didn't work out, stop pretending it did.
02:23Take care of the child. Know your place.
02:27Don't worry. There's no shortage of Omega servant quarters in the house.
02:31He genuinely believed. I had come back because I couldn't let him go.
02:34Look how well Damon's taking care of you. Room and board all sorted. Go on. Thank Damon.
02:41Lena, don't worry. If my son acts up, I'll discipline him myself. I won't let you be mistreated.
02:47Damon let out a cold laugh.
02:48What does she have to be mistreated about?
02:51She vanished over something trivial, and now she's back because she couldn't make it out there.
02:56A little hardship is exactly what she deserves.
02:59My heart skipped. Even now, he's still called that. Trivial.
03:02The heavy rain outside Pack Hall is back as he walked in with Vivian.
03:06Seven years.
03:07To him, it was just a trivial thing.
03:08The boy who had once carried me across half the territory while bleeding out himself, just to keep his promise.
03:14He was long dead. Dead the day he chose Vivian for the first time.
03:17It was all in the past. I didn't need any of that anymore. I was about to have my second
03:21child.
03:23I pressed down every feeling and looked at Damon with perfect calm.
03:26Aren't you here to pick me up? Let's go.
03:29A beat of silence fell over the crowd. Then, laughter exploded.
03:33Wait for you? Who do you think you are? We're waiting for Lena. Do you even know who that is?
03:41Of course I did. That's my name.
03:43Ethan swore never to bond. They say he was waiting for her his whole life.
03:47Everyone in the circles knows, if you want to get close to Ethan, go through his Luna.
03:52There's nothing he wouldn't give up for that woman.
03:54Listening to them describe my own life, I couldn't keep the corners of my mouth from lifting.
03:57Three years into our bond, Ethan's power had only grown, and his reputation for doting on his Luna had grown
04:03with it.
04:03Vivian had always had a talent for flaunting other people's lives in my face.
04:06At the Blood Summit auction, Ethan won a Hearthstone chain for his Luna.
04:11Value? $20 million.
04:14Every female on the continent envies that woman.
04:20It's this one.
04:22Everyone was staring at the chain on my wrist.
04:24Damon grabbed my hand and leaned in for a close look.
04:28Replica? Which delivery boy Omega bought you this?
04:31Wearing garbage like that in public, shameless.
04:34I pulled my hand free.
04:35I traced my fingers over every stone on the chain.
04:38The day Ethan clasped it onto my wrist, he murmured in my ear,
04:41Don't ever take it off.
04:42I smiled. Damon saw my smile.
04:44His pupils contracted sharply.
04:45He lunged forward and ripped the chain from my wrist.
04:48I hadn't been ready for it.
04:49He got away with it.
04:50The thing Ethan gave me had just fallen into Vivian's hands.
04:53Nice weight. Definitely more refined than the fake I bought.
04:56But I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something like this in public.
04:59Or could it be...
05:01Lena? Are you Lena?
05:03You're the legendary Blood Summit Luna?
05:06The laughter that broke out was deafening, because it was absurd.
05:09Ethan was the strongest alpha on the continent.
05:11And I, three years ago, was the broken Omega Damon had driven out of Pack Hall.
05:15No one could possibly connect the two.
05:17Vivian tossed the chain in her palm, weighing it.
05:21Lena, I'll buy this off you. Double the price.
05:24Give it back! That was a gift from Ethan!
05:31Shut up!
05:32Damon towered over me, eyes burning with irritation.
05:34You think you can drop Ethan's name just like that?
05:38Spreading rumors about a connection with him in a place like this?
05:41Are you trying to get me killed?
05:43Lena, do you have any idea?
05:45Getting to receive Ethan's Luna was a chance a thousand people fought over.
05:50Damon's pack was acquired by Ethan three years ago.
05:53We all survive on his goodwill now.
05:55If you spread lies here, you'll bring ruin down on every single one of us.
05:59I slowly raised my hand, and wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth.
06:03Slowly turned my head, and looked Damon directly in the eyes.
06:07Damon's brow furrowed.
06:08Something in his gaze flickered with unease.
06:11He thought I was the Lena he remembered.
06:13He thought I would cry, beg, explain.
06:16He didn't know.
06:17The way I looked at him now was the same way I'd look at a dead man.
06:20Vivian caught the way Damon was looking at me.
06:22She immediately pointed a finger in my face.
06:25Lena, you ungrateful wolf!
06:27Damon already agreed to take you in, and this is how you act?
06:31Even if you resent him, you don't get to use this kind of revenge.
06:35I had a strange sense of deja vu.
06:37Three years ago, it was exactly like this.
06:40No matter what happened, Vivian would twist the truth and feed it to Damon.
06:44In the beginning, Damon would still yell at Vivian for it.
06:46Later, he started echoing her words to come after me.
06:49Just like now, Damon bit out.
06:51Jealous.
06:52But he didn't keep going.
06:53He went quiet for a moment, then reached into his jacket.
06:56Placed a check in front of me.
06:58Two hundred thousand.
06:59The posture of charity.
07:01The expression of charity.
07:03He genuinely believed this was the greatest dignity he could offer me.
07:06Out of respect for what we once had, I won't do anything to you.
07:10Take the money.
07:11Go buy yourself something decent to wear.
07:13If you don't want to look after the child, I'll find you a respectable position in a few days.
07:18Since Ethan acquired my pack, this amount means nothing to me.
07:21I looked at that check.
07:22Looked at his face.
07:23Giving charity.
07:24Under the stunned stares of everyone around us, I pushed it back.
07:28Retrieved the chain from Vivian's hand.
07:30No, thank you.
07:31I don't take things from strangers.
07:33I'm a stranger?
07:35Lena, what the hell does that mean?
07:37Since the relationship is over, it's better we don't associate.
07:40I wouldn't want my husband to get the wrong idea.
07:43Damon's expression shifted.
07:47He glanced at Vivian and that knowing look crossed his face.
07:50He thought I was trying to make him jealous.
07:52In three days, Ironcrest Pack is hosting a Blood Moon Gala in Ethan's honor.
07:56I'll take you.
07:58Give you a glimpse of how the other half lives.
08:03Though you'll need to find yourself something decent to wear first, or else...
08:07No, thank you.
08:08Damon's face darkened.
08:09Lena, I hope in three days you'll still feel this confident.
08:14I walked out of the arrival gate without looking back.
08:17Fresh air flooded my lungs.
08:18The nausea in my stomach finally began to ease.
08:21Three years ago, my family had pressured me to cross the border for an arranged marriage.
08:26I held out against it and ran to Damon, begging him to complete our bond first.
08:30Make it a done deal before anyone could interfere.
08:33As you wish.
08:34He agreed.
08:34Then at the doors of Pack Hall, I didn't just find him.
08:37I found Vivian waiting beside him.
08:40Vivian's pup needs to be registered.
08:42I have to complete the bond with her first.
08:44One month.
08:45Then I'll come for you immediately.
08:47It's only for the child's sake.
08:49Don't read into it.
08:50I watched him walk into Pack Hall with Vivian on his arm.
08:53That night, I set out.
08:55One month later, I married Ethan.
08:57The year after that, Leo was born.
09:00Just a few days ago, I confirmed I was carrying a second.
09:02If not for accompanying Ethan back for the ancestral rites, I would never have set foot on this land again
09:08for the rest of my life.
09:09Let alone, run into him at the arrival gate.
09:12Three days later, I put on a light layer of makeup.
09:15The same custom soft fabric dress.
09:17I went to the Blood Moon Gala alone.
09:19The moment I walked in, Damon spotted me.
09:24A light flickered in his eyes.
09:26That familiar, self-satisfied curve pulled at the corner of his mouth.
09:29Said you wouldn't come, but here you are.
09:33Body doesn't lie.
09:37Though if you want me to look twice, you could at least dress the part.
09:42For an occasion like this, what you're wearing...
09:45I stepped around him and kept walking.
09:46He grabbed my arm.
09:47I'm talking to you.
09:52Our seats are over here. Where are you going?
09:55I looked calmly toward the far end of the hall.
09:57That's your seat.
09:59Mine is over there.
10:01Following my gaze, Damon saw the head table.
10:03The Alpha's seat.
10:04The Luna's seat.
10:06His expression changed.
10:07Vivian's eyes turned vicious instantly.
10:10She fixed her glare on the chain at my wrist and raised her voice.
10:13Lena!
10:14How did you get in here?
10:15Are you here to cause trouble?
10:17Walking in with that chain.
10:19Are you trying to humiliate the Luna?
10:22Tonight is Ethan's first time bringing his Luna out in public.
10:26Rogue woman.
10:27Get out!
10:28Every guest in the room turned to look.
10:30Someone glanced at Damon.
10:32Damon Alpha.
10:33Do you know this person?
10:34Damon straightened his cuffs, perfectly composed.
10:36No.
10:37One word.
10:38Clean.
10:39Final.
10:40Vivian lifted her chin immediately.
10:42Take off that chain and get out!
10:45She reached for it.
10:46I stepped aside.
10:47But someone deliberately tripped me from behind.
10:49I fell.
10:51Vivian planted her foot on my wrist.
10:53The chain.
10:54She tore it free with brute force.
10:57The gems scattered across the floor, like a shattered constellation.
11:02Drag her out!
11:03Pain screamed through my wrist, bone deep.
11:05I'm Ethan's...
11:08His what?
11:09His mistress?
11:11Who do you think you are?
11:14She backhands me again.
11:16I lay against the middle of the floor.
11:17When I came back here, I hadn't planned to settle scores with anyone.
11:20There was no point.
11:21But now, she had struck me twice.
11:23She had destroyed something Ethan gave me.
11:25She would pay for both of those things.
11:28Everything she was capable of losing.
11:30She would lose it all.
11:32Damon crouched in front of me.
11:33He reached out as if to touch the wound on my wrist.
11:36I flinched away on instinct.
11:38He looked at me coldly.
11:39Are you done making a scene?
11:42You came in that outfit, wearing that chain.
11:45You missed me, didn't you?
11:46You wanted to make me jealous.
11:48Just say the word and I'll give you what you want.
11:51Damon...
11:51I raised my eyes to meet his.
11:53You're finished.
11:54Damon frowned, about to speak.
11:56The atmosphere in the gala shifted.
11:58Every guest began composing themselves, pressing toward the entrance.
12:01Damon leaned down and murmured to me.
12:03Ethan's here.
12:04Behave yourself.
12:06Vivian and I have already dissolved our bond.
12:08I pressed my nearly crushed wrist.
12:10Looking at his face, I felt nothing but revulsion.
12:13Whether you two dissolve your bond or not, what does that have to do with me?
12:18Then, the doors opened.
12:20Ethan walked in, carrying Leo.
12:24The moment Leo entered the hall, he squirmed to get down from Ethan's arms.
12:27The moment the cherub-faced little pup touched the ground,
12:31every eye in the room was pulled to him.
12:33Damon turned to me abruptly.
12:36Lena, as long as you stop provoking Vivian, I can forgive you for disappearing three years.
12:40I'll give you a chance.
12:42Bear me a child.
12:43A child that belongs to us.
12:45I paid him no attention.
12:46I was looking through the crowd, trying to catch Leo's eye.
12:50Leo's gaze swept the room.
12:51Then, locked, he broke free from Ethan's hand and charged toward me.
12:55Crashed into my arms.
12:57Mama, what happened to you?
12:59Who did this?
13:01Why is there so much blood on your hand?
13:03That one word.
13:04Mama.
13:05And the entire gala went still.
13:09The guests who had stood by cold-eyed while I was struck, their faces all changed at once.
13:14Leo held on to me, eyes going red.
13:17I crouched to meet him at eye level.
13:20Cupped his round little cheeks in my hands.
13:23Mama is fine.
13:25Whoever dares to treat Mama like this.
13:28I was about to reassure him when I felt the pressure from behind.
13:32Not an ordinary approach.
13:33It was Ethan's.
13:34The kind that felt like a mountain moving.
13:36The kind that made the air itself go still.
13:38The crowd parted automatically.
13:40I didn't need to turn around to know he was furious.
13:43Since I'd gotten pregnant with our second, he'd have kept me physically tucked against him if he could.
13:47If it hadn't been for the urgent matter, he never would have sent someone else to pick me up.
13:52I lifted Leo into my arms.
13:53Turned around.
13:54Ethan was standing there.
13:56His gaze dropped to the bloodstain on my wrist.
13:58Then to the marks on my face.
14:01His eyes went dark.
14:04Leo slipped out of my arms and ran to Ethan.
14:07Daddy, someone hurt Mama!
14:09Let's go get revenge.
14:13Lena, tell me what happened.
14:16One moment I'm away and you're already hurt.
14:18Which blind fool did this?
14:20I'm fine, Ethan.
14:21Lena.
14:23I'm your mate.
14:25If something wronged you, you don't have to carry it alone.
14:27We can't let anyone hurt Mama!
14:30Maybe it was the pregnancy.
14:31Maybe I'd held it together for too long.
14:33My voice came out with a tremor I hadn't planned for.
14:36You weren't there and they all went after me.
14:39At that moment, Leo's eyes caught something on the floor.
14:43He bent down and picked up a single gem.
14:44Daddy, isn't this part of the gift you gave Mama?
14:49Ethan took the stone and turned it over.
14:51On the back, two letters were engraved.
14:54E. L.
14:56Turn on every light.
15:01Every light in the gala blazed on.
15:04Ethan tilted my face toward him.
15:08They actually dared to do this to you.
15:11We can't let them get away with this.
15:12I didn't know if it was the pregnancy, but my emotions kept slipping past my defenses.
15:17You weren't there and they all went after me.
15:22The people who had followed to the arrival gate to mock me, their legs were shaking now.
15:28They were finally putting it together.
15:30The woman in the custom soft fabric dress three days ago.
15:34The woman with the heartstone chain on her wrist.
15:37The woman who kept insisting she was Ethan's Luna.
15:41She hadn't been making it up.
15:43Every word she said had been true.
15:48Just then, Vivian's follower, Jade, stepped forward.
15:51Lena, are these two actors you hired?
15:55Not bad performances, honestly.
15:57Want Vivian to help you find an agent?
16:00Though, since you can't even afford a decent outfit these days.
16:03I have one I've worn before, I could give it to you.
16:06Save you the embarrassment.
16:07Jade had arrived last.
16:09She hadn't seen Leo throw himself into my arms.
16:11She had dressed to kill tonight, hoping to catch the eye of a powerful mate.
16:16The fastest route to a powerful mate in these circles was to win Vivian's favor.
16:22And the most effective way to win Vivian's favor was to make my life miserable.
16:27So she opened her mouth.
16:29No one in the room laughed.
16:31Everyone was staring at her like she'd lost her mind.
16:35Jade began to panic.
16:37She turned to Ethan and tilted her face upward, trying to be coy.
16:40The man next to her, he's not bad looking.
16:43If you're willing to leave Lena, I might consider keeping you.
16:47Keeping.
16:48Ethan.
16:49I nearly laughed out loud.
16:54Ethan started laughing.
16:56That kind of laugh.
16:57The rare one.
16:58Where it curls up at the corners and he can't quite stop it.
17:02He had always been particular about my safety.
17:04Over the years, anyone who tried to get close to him either vanished or ended up on the far
17:09end of the continent.
17:11He wasn't angry.
17:12He simply found her amusing.
17:14In the way one finds someone who has used up their borrowed time, Jade sensed the shift
17:19in the room and tried to press herself closer to Vivian.
17:23Vivian immediately gave her a slap that sent her to the floor.
17:26Jade, are you trying to die?
17:29You dare offend Ethan and his Luna?
17:31Do you have a death wish?
17:32Jade clutched her face, slumped on the marble murmuring.
17:36Lena is Lena.
17:37She's really the Luna.
17:39I offended.
17:41I...
17:41Ethan was notorious across the continent for being fiercely protective of his mate.
17:46Jade's mind went to what might be waiting for her.
17:48Her whole body began to tremble.
17:51Someone in the crowd gasped.
17:53All eyes moved to the hem of Jade's dress.
17:56She had wet herself from fear.
17:58Ethan gave a slight frown.
18:00His guards understood without a word and dragged her out.
18:04Damon and Vivian's faces flushed a deep, mortified red.
18:08Everyone in the room knew that Jade's words had always followed wherever their hearts pointed.
18:16The healer Ethan had summoned was treating my wounds.
18:19The antiseptic touched skin.
18:21I hissed through my teeth.
18:23Just that one sound.
18:25And Ethan and Leo both looked up with murder in their eyes.
18:29You can't even apply medicine without hurting her?
18:32The healer's hands began to shake even harder.
18:34I pretended to glare at them.
18:37Lena.
18:37Mama.
18:39Father and son both shrank back, looking aggrieved.
18:42I sighed.
18:44The healer is helping me.
18:46Stop terrifying her.
18:47The healer visibly exhaled.
18:49After her examination, she addressed Ethan.
18:52Alpha Ethan.
18:53The luma is unharmed, and the pup in the womb is safe as well.
18:57The wound on her wrist is fairly deep.
19:00I'll use the finest medicine available and do my best to ensure it heals without scarring.
19:05Ethan went quiet.
19:31Ethan stood beside me and swept a slow gaze across the room.
19:35I'd like you all to volunteer what happened in the past few days.
19:40If I have to find out on my own.
19:42He paused.
19:44Everyone present may not die pleasantly.
19:46Damon's complexion shifted.
19:48He was the first to speak.
19:51Ethan Alpha.
19:52This is all a misunderstanding.
19:54As Lena's former intended mate, I was simply catching up with her.
19:58The glass in Ethan's hand let out a faint, precise crap.
20:01Damon didn't notice and kept going.
20:03Ethan Alpha must know how much Lena used to love me.
20:07Catching up is only natural, isn't it?
20:10The glass shattered.
20:11Ethan's hand was covered in blood.
20:13I ached just looking at it.
20:14Damon, stop flattering yourself.
20:16I tended to Ethan's hand while I spoke.
20:18In this life, I have only ever loved Ethan.
20:21Say anything else to drive a wedge between us, and don't expect me to stay civil.
20:25Ethan looked down, watching me bandage his hand.
20:28And then he smiled.
20:30Lena, you just said I'm your favorite.
20:33I was speechless.
20:38Damon's expression turned wounded.
20:41Lena, Vivian and I have dissolved our bond.
20:44He opened his mouth again.
20:46That pup could call you mama going forward, too.
20:48You only married Ethan to spite me, didn't you?
20:51I understand.
20:52I don't mind.
20:53As long as you're willing to come back, everything I can give you, none of it is less than what
20:57he offers.
20:58As long as you're willing to come back and be my son's nanny.
21:01Leo, sitting nearby, slowly set down his fork.
21:03He studied Damon for a moment.
21:05Nanny?
21:06My mama is a little princess at home.
21:09You think you're worthy of making her a nanny?
21:13Mama will only ever have me and my little sister.
21:15Two children.
21:16Your pup of unclear wargences has no business being connected to my mama.
21:20You're not as handsome as my daddy.
21:22Not as tall, either.
21:23And you smell the kind of broke that gets into your eyes.
21:27The guests around them burst out laughing.
21:30Damon's face went purple.
21:31At this moment, Vivian had completely lost what remained of her composure.
21:35She heard Damon say,
21:37Let Lena be the child's mother.
21:39She picked up a fork.
21:40And lunged at Leo.
21:44You little bastard!
21:45I'll kill you!
21:46The moment Vivian charged at Leo, I released Ethan's hand and threw myself over Leo.
21:51Son, are you?
21:53Okay.
21:54The word never came out.
21:56Before I lost consciousness, I saw Leo's face.
21:59Panicked.
22:00Pale.
22:00I wanted to tell him, don't cry.
22:03The words didn't come.
22:05Everything went dark.
22:08The sharp smell of antiseptic pulled me back.
22:11White ceiling above me.
22:13A patient's gown.
22:15Mia was sitting at the bedside.
22:17The moment she saw my eyes open, she threw herself at me.
22:20Lena!
22:22You're finally awake!
22:24If you'd slept any longer, those two little demons of yours would have torn the whole territory apart!
22:29My first instinct.
22:30I pressed a hand to my stomach.
22:33Mia understood immediately.
22:35Relax.
22:36You and the baby are both perfectly fine.
22:38The doctor said it was the shock combined with the pain from your wound that made you pass out.
22:42Yeah.
22:42That Vivian is absolutely unhinged, going at Leo with a fork!
22:47Where are Leo and Ethan?
22:49Safe.
22:50Both of them.
22:51You were still too reckless.
22:53With that many guards around, it wasn't your turn to step in.
22:57That's Leo.
22:58I know, I know.
22:59Your precious little pup.
23:01That little creature is vicious enough on his own.
23:04He didn't need protection.
23:06Where are they now, the two of them?
23:08Mia's eyes lit up.
23:10Gone to avenge you.
23:13I got there after you'd already passed out, but I pieced together what happened from the people around.
23:18After you went down, Leo picked up the fork from the floor and drove it straight through Vivian's palm.
23:25He's three years old.
23:26I have no idea where he found the strength.
23:29Ethan had also learned by then what happened at the arrival gate three days ago.
23:33That Damon slapped you.
23:34That he tore off the heartstone chain.
23:37The way they all humiliated you.
23:39He knew every detail.
23:41Then he had his guards hold Damon down and had the hand that struck you cut off.
23:47Leo watched the whole thing without blinking once.
23:51Such a little tyrant.
23:53Vivian.
23:53Ethan had someone bring in a crate of gemstones and told her to swallow them all.
23:56He said exactly this.
23:58Since you love taking things that belong to others so much, I'll give you your fill.
24:01The gems are yours.
24:02So is the man.
24:04She swallowed.
24:05She refused.
24:06So they brought in her son.
24:08She swallowed a lot.
24:10When she was half dead from it, Ethan had someone carve up her face, severed the tangents in her son's
24:16hands, and had her thrown into international waters.
24:20The guests who stood there and watched you get beaten, every single one of them left with a scar on
24:24their wrist.
24:24So they'll remember the cost of looking away while the Luna was being humiliated.
24:27Oh, and one more thing.
24:29Ironcrest pack officially dissolved.
24:30Everything Damon had.
24:31Starting today, gone.
24:36Though Damon was supposed to go into international waters too, but Vivian threw herself at the guards to buy him
24:42time.
24:43So he ran.
24:45Ethan and Leo are looking for him now.
24:49The trade wasn't hard to guess.
24:52Damon must have told Vivian something about her son.
24:54A mother's love will make her capable of anything.
24:58Vivian had swallowed that many stones.
25:01She wouldn't survive long.
25:03The only thing she had left to hold onto was that child.
25:06A heaviness settled somewhere in my chest.
25:08My son was already so good, and Ethan was turning him into something else entirely.
25:13I was about to ask more questions.
25:15The door to the ward was shoved open.
25:17Two figures.
25:18One tall.
25:19One small.
25:21Leo elbowed Mia aside and launched himself toward the head of my bed.
25:25Lena, you're finally awake.
25:29Where does it hurt?
25:32Everyone who wronged you.
25:34I've already taken care of it.
25:37I'd only been unconscious for one night, but the two of them looked like they'd lost me for decades.
25:44I'm fine, Ethan.
25:46Stop worrying.
25:47I turned to Leo.
25:49Son?
25:49Did Daddy scold you?
25:51Leo paused.
25:52His little mouth puckered and tears came.
25:55No!
25:56Daddy didn't scold me.
25:58You're lying.
25:59I couldn't stand it when Leo kept things from me.
26:02But he held his ground.
26:04Knowing Ethan's temperament, Leo had definitely gotten an earful.
26:07I pulled Leo into my arms.
26:10Then I shot Ethan a look.
26:12Ethan froze in place.
26:14Unmistakably guilty.
26:15Mama, I won't ever let you get hurt again.
26:19This time it was my fault.
26:21I'm sorry, Mama.
26:23My heart dissolved completely.
26:25Protecting Leo is something Mama is meant to do.
26:29Mama isn't blaming you.
26:31Mia took Leo out.
26:32Just Ethan and me left in the ward.
26:37He was insistent on checking my wounds himself.
26:39Ethan, the doctor already bandaged everything.
26:43He bent down anyway and blew softly on the wound.
26:47Lena, I promise there won't be a next time.
26:52Alright, I believe you.
26:54I hold my life very dear, Ethan.
26:57Because I still have a whole lifetime to spend with you.
27:00His eyes smiled.
27:01Like a child's.
27:02Ethan and Leo absolutely insisted I stay in the healer's den for observation.
27:07A whole team of healers examined me from every angle.
27:11Multiple times.
27:13Only when every indicator came back normal did they clear me for discharge.
27:17Leo, pass Mama.
27:19Lena.
27:20It's me.
27:21I was packing up, facing away from the door.
27:23My hands went still.
27:25I turned around.
27:27Damon.
27:29Damon.
27:31His face was still swollen.
27:33His whole body covered in wounds.
27:35But he had made himself presentable.
27:37He was wearing the dress shirt I had given him years ago.
27:40The one he had once said was ugly.
27:43Cheap looking.
27:44What do you want?
27:45He had slipped past Ethan's guards to find me.
27:48He had to have connections.
27:49I couldn't afford to act rashly.
27:51Don't be afraid.
27:52I'm not here to hurt you.
27:53Damon seemed to read the caution in me and spoke quickly.
27:56I just...
27:57Just what?
28:00Lena.
28:00I still love you.
28:02When I think about you bonded to another male, carrying his children, I can't bear it.
28:07We can start over.
28:11Start over?
28:12Damon?
28:13When you drove me out of pack hall and made me the laughing stock of the entire pack, did you
28:18think about today?
28:21You come to me now with talk of love?
28:24Don't you find that revolting?
28:26Vivian was carrying my pup.
28:28I couldn't just...
28:29Just abandon the situation.
28:31And...
28:32You wouldn't have wanted a child growing up without a father.
28:36I laughed coldly.
28:37Children fall out of the sky, do they?
28:39If you'd kept control of yourself, how would you have accidentally gotten someone pregnant?
28:45And here you still are, making excuses for your own failures.
28:49The number of females you've been with?
28:51I've lost count.
28:52What makes you think I would ever come back?
28:55You're rotting meat.
28:57Why would you think I'd ever want to smell that again?
29:01The door flew open.
29:02Guards surged in and pinned Damon down.
29:04Ethan was the last one through the door, his expression black as char.
29:10Damon.
29:12Not dead fast enough, apparently.
29:15After confirming I was unharmed, he waved a hand and had the guards drag him out.
29:19As Damon was hauled away, he turned his head back.
29:23Ethan, you think she actually loves you?
29:27She only married you because of me!
29:29Ethan's fist connected.
29:31Damon went silent.
29:33He wasn't unaware of what I'd done to shield him.
29:36These years since we bonded, he'd carried a quiet insecurity inside him, always feeling like I didn't love him quite
29:43enough.
29:44I watched his back as he left the ward.
29:46It ached somewhere in me.
29:49As for Damon, I wanted him erased from my life entirely.
29:53That night, back at the Pack Lodge, I stood in the corridor for a while, just drifting in my thoughts.
30:01Wedding portraits from our bonding ceremony hung along the wall.
30:04In the photo, Ethan had eyes only for me.
30:07In the photo, my expression was distant.
30:11Back then, it was still an arranged union.
30:13I hadn't fully opened my heart yet.
30:15But over these years,
30:17I had long since fallen for this man.
30:20Completely.
30:21I lifted one of the frames from the wall.
30:24On the back of the frame.
30:26Photographs.
30:27Covering every inch.
30:29All of me.
30:30Only me.
30:31Starting from high school.
30:33One of me handing out flyers at the academy entrance.
30:36Another taken after my secondary school graduation.
30:38Walking home alone.
30:39He had loved me.
30:41Long before I ever knew who he was.
30:43Footsteps from the far end of the corridor.
30:45Ethan was coming back.
30:47He saw me sitting on the settee, holding those photos.
30:50His footsteps stopped.
30:52He came forward.
30:53Like a child who knew he'd done something wrong.
30:58Lena, how did you-
30:59I looked up.
31:00If you liked me that much, why didn't you come find me sooner?
31:04You let me waste all those years tangled up with someone like Damon.
31:09The photographs are beautiful, by the way.
31:11I love them.
31:13Lena, you're not angry?
31:15Angry about what?
31:17I was watching your life without you knowing.
31:19I'm not right in the head.
31:20You are not not right in the head.
31:23When I look at these, all I feel is love.
31:27So much of it.
31:28The man who was almost never anything but composed, his eyes filled with tears.
31:32Lena, I never dared hope you'd love me.
31:36I only ever wanted you to stay by my side.
31:40There you go again, talking nonsense.
31:43You are all I see, Ethan.
31:46Every part of me.
31:47I had looked into his past afterward, abandoned by his birth parents as a child.
31:54His file wrote it simply.
31:56Foundling.
31:57Origin unknown.
31:59A foster father took him in, but never learned how to show warmth.
32:03In school, he was quiet.
32:05So quiet, no one dared approach him.
32:09Classmates gave him a nickname behind his back.
32:11The Mute Wolf.
32:12He never fought back.
32:14Every day, he sat alone at the farthest corner of the cafeteria.
32:17A single bowl of plain rice, no side dishes.
32:20Reading this, my eyes went hot.
32:22And then, I remembered something I had almost forgotten myself.
32:26Back in high school, I once cut through the neighboring academy and glanced into their cafeteria.
32:31I saw a boy.
32:33Sitting alone.
32:34Too thin.
32:35Uniform hanging loose off his shoulders.
32:38In front of him.
32:39Just a bowl of white rice.
32:41All around him, students laughed and shoved.
32:44Not one looked at him.
32:45He was like an extra person this world had left over.
32:47I walked in.
32:49Pulled a handful of meal vouchers from my bag.
32:52The ones my mother gave me to treat friends with.
32:54Slapped them down on his table.
32:56Hey.
32:57From today on, you're under my wing.
32:59Lena's crew.
33:00Consider this your initiation fee.
33:02The boy lifted his head.
33:04Slowly.
33:05His eyes were dark.
33:06Dark like a well that had never seen sunlight.
33:09I got embarrassed.
33:11Scratched my head.
33:12And ran off.
33:13I never even asked his name.
33:14And that boy.
33:16Turned out to be Ethan.
33:18I sat there, shaking.
33:20Ethan lifted his head.
33:21Lena?
33:22Back then, were you wearing a washed-out blue jacket?
33:26He froze.
33:27I watched his face change.
33:29Inch by inch.
33:30Shock.
33:32Disbelief.
33:32Something raw enough to break.
33:34You-you remember?
33:36He dropped to his knees in front of me, like his legs had given out.
33:39I thought you'd forgotten long ago.
33:42I thought all these years it was only mine to carry.
33:49He reached into the inner pocket against his chest.
33:52Drew out a worn leather wallet.
33:54Opened it.
33:55Inside.
33:56A single meal voucher.
33:58Yellowed.
33:59Soft at the corners from being rubbed between fingers.
34:03Over and over.
34:04This one's the last.
34:06The others, I couldn't bear to spend them.
34:08They expired.
34:09Only this one.
34:10I kept on me.
34:11Always.
34:11Every time I felt like I couldn't go on, I'd take it out and look at it.
34:15To tell myself, once, in this world, there was a girl who thought I was worth the price of a
34:19meal.
34:19My tears fell onto the yellowed voucher.
34:22What I had called a single moment of soft-heartedness
34:25was the light that had carried him through his entire adolescence.
34:30I lifted his face.
34:31Looked into those same dark eyes from the cafeteria corner.
34:34Ethan.
34:36From today on,
34:38it's my turn to watch you.
34:41And this time,
34:42you're not allowed to make yourself small anymore.
34:45He didn't speak.
34:46Just buried his face in my palms.
34:48Warm.
34:48Wet.
34:49Falling.
34:50One drop at a time.
34:51This man who never bowed his head in front of the entire pack.
34:55was crying into my hands like that boy no one ever saw.
