Transcription
00:00:00I married Alpha Evan out of gratitude.
00:00:03For 3 years I guarded his pack.
00:00:06Yet Evan never loved me.
00:00:09He marked my sister before the whole pack.
00:00:12Everyone thought my sister was the pureblood Luna.
00:00:15Evan blamed me for being infertile.
00:00:17You're a freak.
00:00:18Everyone mocked the golden-eyed freak,
00:00:21never knowing I was the true Luna heir.
00:00:23When the truth comes out, they will be shocked.
00:00:263 years since I married Alpha Evan, Alpha Joseph's son.
00:00:30Alpha Joseph died shortly after I married Alpha Evan,
00:00:33and I kept my promise.
00:00:35As long as I remain within his territory,
00:00:37my Luna power automatically forms a protective barrier,
00:00:40warding off all invading rogue werewolves.
00:00:42I love Evan with all my heart and have given everything for him,
00:00:45yet I have never managed to melt his cold heart.
00:00:47His heart has always belonged to my younger sister, Selina.
00:00:50Even after Selina abandoned him cruelly long ago,
00:00:53he still clings to memories of her.
00:00:55For 3 years, I wrapped the entire pack in my Luna barrier,
00:00:58blocking every wave of rogue attacks.
00:01:01I loved him silently, yielded to him every night,
00:01:04and waited patiently for his mark.
00:01:06One day, after our intimacy, I cling to a faint hope.
00:01:10Evan, I've stayed by your side for 3 years.
00:01:13Won't you give me the mate mark I've always longed for?
00:01:163 years and you still can't conceive an heir.
00:01:18You're nothing but a freak with golden eyes.
00:01:21How dare you even beg for my mark?
00:01:23A useless freak?
00:01:24Who do you think has been shielding your pack in silence all these years?
00:01:29Shield my pack? Don't make me laugh.
00:01:31Your wolf power isn't even half as strong as Selina's.
00:01:35A cursed golden-eyed outpiece like you could never hold a candle to her.
00:01:38Stop deluding yourself.
00:01:39Evan leaves without looking back.
00:01:41He saw me as nothing more than a worthless golden-eyed freak,
00:01:44unworthy of his mark, unworthy of a place by his side.
00:01:48He assumed I was weak and decile, too dependent on this pack to ever leave.
00:01:53But his cold indifference killed every last bit of affection in my heart.
00:01:59Luna, Alpha Evan has instructed you to get ready.
00:02:02You are to attend the marking banquet the main mansion tonight.
00:02:05Here is the banquet gown prepared for you.
00:02:07A glimmer of fragile hope stirred in my heart.
00:02:09Perhaps he had only spoken harshly earlier,
00:02:12intending to give me a surprise to finally acknowledge me and bestow his mark upon me.
00:02:16When I stepped into the main hall,
00:02:19champagne roses bloomed everywhere,
00:02:22and a huge banner reading Welcome Pack hung on the wall.
00:02:26Then I saw him,
00:02:27when I stepped into the main hall,
00:02:28my mate,
00:02:29my Alpha,
00:02:31holding someone else in his arm,
00:02:34my sister Selina.
00:02:36Let me make an announcement to everyone here.
00:02:39Today, I will place my exclusive mark upon my one and only mate,
00:02:44Selina.
00:02:45My heart didn't just break.
00:02:47It plunged to a frozen abyss,
00:02:50shattering into a million jagged spards of of ice.
00:02:52If he is marking her,
00:02:54if he is claiming my sister in front of the world,
00:02:58then what am I?
00:03:02The second the words left his lips,
00:03:04I froze on the spot.
00:03:06The roses blooming all through the hall
00:03:08were the very romance I'd never dared to dream of.
00:03:11The grand Welcome Pack banner hanging overhead
00:03:14mocked every foolish hope I'd clung to only moments before.
00:03:17Evan led Selina forward to a stop.
00:03:20Her gown was cut in the exact same style as mine,
00:03:22yet hers was encrust with diamonds,
00:03:24far more lavish by comparison.
00:03:27Evan had humiliated me on purpose,
00:03:29dressing me in an identical design,
00:03:30but of far poorer quality.
00:03:32Selina put on a soft, gentle front
00:03:34and spoke to me in fake sweetness.
00:03:36Dear sister,
00:03:37thank you for coming all this way
00:03:39to witness my marking ceremony.
00:03:41I kept my eyes locked on Evan,
00:03:43my voice shaking with held back emotion.
00:03:45Why her?
00:03:46I've sacrificed so much for you.
00:03:48I stayed loyal by your side for three whole years.
00:03:52What good are all your sacrifices?
00:03:55Those eerie eyes of yours repel me,
00:03:57and you can't even bear airs for the pack.
00:03:59You were never half as good as Selina,
00:04:01not then,
00:04:02not now.
00:04:03Evan lifted his hand,
00:04:04brushing it lightly along Selina's neck,
00:04:06then bowed his head to leave his claiming mark
00:04:09on her slowly and tenderly.
00:04:10When the mark was fully set,
00:04:12he slowly raised his eyes,
00:04:14scanning the bustling crowd
00:04:15before his gaze locked firmly on mine.
00:04:18Tears and applause burst out across the hall at once,
00:04:20loud blessings ringing through the air,
00:04:22yet every sound sliced right through my heart
00:04:24like a sharp knife.
00:04:26One of the pack elders stepped up onto the dace.
00:04:28He swept his gaze over the crowd,
00:04:30his tone grave and agmatic.
00:04:31As many of you know,
00:04:32our pack has long kept a secret.
00:04:34Among us lives a she-wolf
00:04:35who carries the rare pure-blood Luna lineage.
00:04:38The question we all wonder is this,
00:04:39who could she be?
00:04:43The pack members broke into quiet murmurs,
00:04:46all guessing who the she-wolf
00:04:47with hidden pure-blood Luna lineage might be.
00:04:50Amid the buzzing whispers,
00:04:51Charlotte, Evan's mother,
00:04:53and the pack's reigning Luna
00:04:54rose slowly from her grand ornate throne
00:04:56atop the dace,
00:04:57carrying herself with unbridled arrogance
00:04:58and authority.
00:04:59There's no need for pointless speculation.
00:05:01It can only be Selina.
00:05:03She boasts exceptional wolf talent
00:05:05and immense innate power.
00:05:07I have always known she is the fated one.
00:05:10I never thought Joseph would act recklessly
00:05:12and force Evan into a marriage with Isabella.
00:05:15A smug smile tugged at Selina's lips.
00:05:17She gave a slight, polite bow.
00:05:19Thank you for your kind praise and recognition,
00:05:22Luna Charlotte.
00:05:23I stepped forward before I could stop myself,
00:05:25holding her gaze straight.
00:05:29What gives you such certainty
00:05:31that it must be Selina?
00:05:32Charlotte let out a mocking laugh,
00:05:34as if I'd told the most absurd joke imaginable.
00:05:36she raked her eyes over me coldly,
00:05:38full of contempt.
00:05:39Could it possibly be you?
00:05:41A freak with unnatural golden eyes,
00:05:43good for nothing.
00:05:45Do you truly think you are worthy
00:05:47of possessing the noble pure-blood Luna lineage?
00:05:50Stop indulging in foolish fantasies.
00:05:52The second her words fell,
00:05:54the whole hall erupted in mocking laughter,
00:05:56thick with scorn and disdain.
00:05:58I turned to Evan,
00:06:00clinging to a faint hope
00:06:01that he would stand up for me,
00:06:03that he would grant me
00:06:04even the smallest bit of fairness.
00:06:06But Evan made no move
00:06:07to defend me at all.
00:06:09His expression turned icy instead,
00:06:11his voice laced with revulsion.
00:06:13You would do best to leave
00:06:14the ceremony of your own accord.
00:06:17Staying here will only bring you
00:06:18further shame
00:06:19and make a public fool of yourself.
00:06:23If you refuse to go,
00:06:24you may tend to the guests in the kitchen
00:06:26and keep to yourself quietly.
00:06:31Evan's cold, dismissive words
00:06:33cut straight through me,
00:06:34sharp and biting to the bone.
00:06:36Every eye in the room lingered
00:06:38only on Selina,
00:06:39bright with anticipation.
00:06:40It was as if everyone
00:06:41already took it for granted
00:06:43that her so-called
00:06:44Luna divine power
00:06:46would lead Evan's pack
00:06:47to new prosperity.
00:06:48I'd borne endless humiliation
00:06:50for far too long,
00:06:52endured endless scorn
00:06:53and mockery
00:06:53from those around me.
00:06:54All the grief and resentment
00:06:56I'd kept locked inside
00:06:57finally spilled over.
00:06:58The true bearer
00:06:59of the pure-blood Luna Tinergy
00:07:01is not Selina.
00:07:03It has always been me.
00:07:05The hall burst into
00:07:06mocking laughter once again.
00:07:08Charlotte doubled over,
00:07:09clutching her stomach,
00:07:11mocking me without restraint.
00:07:12Evan and Selina
00:07:13shared a disdainful smirk,
00:07:15dismissing my words
00:07:16as ridiculous ravings.
00:07:19Have you lost your senses?
00:07:22How dare a golden-eyed freak
00:07:24like you
00:07:25claim the pure-blood Luna
00:07:27lineage for yourself?
00:07:30Evan's brows drew tight,
00:07:32his tone sharp
00:07:33and unforgiving.
00:07:35Isabella,
00:07:36are you spouting nonsense
00:07:37out of jealousy
00:07:38now that I've marked Selina?
00:07:40Stop making a fool
00:07:41of yourself.
00:07:42No one in the room
00:07:43believed a word I said.
00:07:45Their jeals pricked my heart
00:07:46like a thousand needles.
00:07:47Staring at their hypocritical,
00:07:49ugly faces,
00:07:50I only felt cold amusement
00:07:52and chose not to explain
00:07:53myself any further.
00:07:54When I fell quiet,
00:07:55the crowd quickly
00:07:56lost interest in me,
00:07:57turning their full attention
00:07:58back to Selina.
00:07:59Evan slipped an arm
00:08:00around her waist,
00:08:01his fingers brushing lightly
00:08:02over the fresh mark
00:08:03on her neck.
00:08:04From this day forward,
00:08:06Selina's Luna divine power
00:08:08will shield our pack
00:08:09and keep us safe
00:08:10and at peace.
00:08:14When she saw I still
00:08:15hadn't moved an inch,
00:08:16the smug look on Selina's face
00:08:18faded a little,
00:08:19replaced by impatience
00:08:21and haughty condescension
00:08:22in her tone.
00:08:23Dear sister,
00:08:24if you know what's best
00:08:25for yourself,
00:08:26gather your things
00:08:27and leave for home at once.
00:08:29Father is waiting for you there.
00:08:31Don't linger here
00:08:32and ruin everyone's celebration.
00:08:33I stood perfectly still,
00:08:35my expression unchanging,
00:08:37merely staring back at her
00:08:38with quiet indifference.
00:08:39I am keeping my oath
00:08:41to Alpha Joseph
00:08:41by remaining here
00:08:42to watch over Evan's pack.
00:08:44I will not leave
00:08:45until my three-year vow
00:08:47is fulfilled.
00:08:48The smile on Selina's face
00:08:49frozen instantly,
00:08:50then twisted into a cold,
00:08:52calculating smirk.
00:08:53She stepped half a step nearer
00:08:54and lowered her voice,
00:08:55letting only me hear her words.
00:08:57A vow?
00:08:59Sister, you're far too naive.
00:09:00Evan's pack has never
00:09:01needed your protection,
00:09:03nor will it ever accept
00:09:04a golden-eyed freak like you.
00:09:06Today, I'll make sure
00:09:07you're driven out of this place
00:09:08for good.
00:09:09The moment she finished speaking,
00:09:10she lurched backwards suddenly,
00:09:12her legs giving way
00:09:12as she crumpled heavily
00:09:13to the floor.
00:09:14She pressed her hands
00:09:15to the corners of her eyes
00:09:16and raised her voice sharply,
00:09:18letting it ring out
00:09:19across the entire hall.
00:09:20Sister, I know you're jealous of me,
00:09:22but you have no right
00:09:24to push me like this.
00:09:25I hadn't shifted a single step
00:09:26from where I stood.
00:09:28The cheering in the hall
00:09:29died away in an instant.
00:09:31Every pair of eyes fixed on us both
00:09:32filled with disdain, accusation,
00:09:34and the cold dislodgement
00:09:36of onlookers ready
00:09:36to watch a spectacle unfold.
00:09:38Evan rushed over at once,
00:09:39lifting Selina gently
00:09:40into his arms
00:09:41and holding her close
00:09:42in a protective embrace.
00:09:43He shot me an icy glare,
00:09:45rage blazing in his eyes.
00:09:47Isabella, you've crossed
00:09:49every line!
00:09:50From this day on,
00:09:50I formally disavow you
00:09:52and cast you out of the pack.
00:09:53You are forbidden
00:09:54from ever stepping foot
00:09:55on our territory
00:09:56for the rest of your life!
00:10:00I stayed rooted to the spot
00:10:02as Evan glared at me
00:10:03like he could kill
00:10:03with his eyes,
00:10:04the air between us
00:10:06turning icy cold.
00:10:07I didn't hurt Selina.
00:10:09She fell on her own.
00:10:11Evan leaned down
00:10:12to strope Selina's back gently,
00:10:14then looked up again,
00:10:15his rage so intense
00:10:16it felt like it could
00:10:17burn me to the ground.
00:10:18Do you really think
00:10:19I'd believe the lies
00:10:20of a golden-eyed freak
00:10:21like you?
00:10:22Selina just got my mark,
00:10:23and she's still weak.
00:10:25How dare you touch her?
00:10:26Charlotte stepped up
00:10:27beside Evan,
00:10:28her eyes dripping
00:10:29with even more disdain,
00:10:30her voice sharp enough
00:10:31to cut.
00:10:32Isabella,
00:10:33you still won't admit
00:10:34what you did.
00:10:35Your excuses only
00:10:37make you more disgusting.
00:10:38A filthy creature like you
00:10:40belong locked up
00:10:41in the dungeon.
00:10:42Evan pulled Selina
00:10:43behind him,
00:10:44unleashing his overwhelming
00:10:45alpha aura
00:10:46in a heartbeat.
00:10:47I see pressure
00:10:48washing over
00:10:48the entire hall.
00:10:49He started the formal
00:10:50mate rejection
00:10:51right there
00:10:51in front of everyone.
00:10:52No trace of regret
00:10:53in his eyes,
00:10:54only pure coldness
00:10:55and contempt.
00:10:56I, Evan,
00:10:57reject you as my mate.
00:10:58I lifted my eyes
00:10:59to meet his gaze,
00:11:00my voice as calm
00:11:01as a frozen lake.
00:11:02I accept your rejection.
00:11:04The mate bond
00:11:05snapped suddenly,
00:11:06a searing,
00:11:06tearing pain
00:11:07shooting through
00:11:07every part of my body.
00:11:08The agony of the bond
00:11:09breaking hit first,
00:11:10and then tears
00:11:11slipped silently
00:11:11down my cheeks.
00:11:12The mate bond
00:11:13that had held us together
00:11:14for three years
00:11:15was breaking apart,
00:11:16fading little by little,
00:11:17each piece throbbing
00:11:18with a dull ache.
00:11:19But none of that pain
00:11:20came close to the cold
00:11:21emptiness in my chest.
00:11:22I curled my fingers tight,
00:11:23nails digging deep
00:11:24into my palms,
00:11:25forcing myself
00:11:25to bear the searing agony.
00:11:27You can't bear airs,
00:11:28the worst shame
00:11:29an alpha could ever face.
00:11:31Selima's nothing like you.
00:11:33She carries the pure-blood
00:11:34Luna Linerage,
00:11:35and only she's worthy
00:11:37of standing by my side,
00:11:38bearing my strongest pups,
00:11:40and leading the pack
00:11:41to greater glory.
00:11:45Selima leaned comfortably
00:11:46in Evan's arms,
00:11:47her eyes glinting
00:11:49with a taunting edge,
00:11:50as she stared
00:11:51at my disheveled state.
00:11:53Sister,
00:11:54why are you still
00:11:55standing here?
00:11:56If I were you,
00:11:57I'd hurry up
00:11:58and pack my things
00:11:59to leave.
00:11:59Don't linger here
00:12:01being a bother.
00:12:02Watching them throw jabs
00:12:03back and forth,
00:12:04their contempt plain as day,
00:12:05my mind wandered back
00:12:06to a memory
00:12:07from long ago
00:12:07of being rescued.
00:12:09Out on the frozen plains,
00:12:10caught in wind and snow,
00:12:11I lay wounded
00:12:12and gave me a second chance.
00:12:14It was Joseph
00:12:15he told me I carried
00:12:16an extremely rare
00:12:17pure-blood Luna lineage.
00:12:18Later,
00:12:19on his deathbed,
00:12:20he held my hand tight,
00:12:22his gaze earnest,
00:12:24as he begged me
00:12:24to protect Evan
00:12:25and his pack
00:12:26with everything I had.
00:12:27Joseph,
00:12:28look at what's become of us.
00:12:29For three years,
00:12:31I've guarded your pack faithfully,
00:12:32warding off rogue attacks
00:12:34this entire time.
00:12:35I've even quietly nourished
00:12:36the pack lands
00:12:37with my Luna energy,
00:12:38making them stronger
00:12:39and more thriving
00:12:40with each passing day.
00:12:41Yet now,
00:12:42your own son
00:12:42chases me away.
00:12:44I've seen his true colors clearly.
00:12:45He's never been worth
00:12:46my protection.
00:12:47In that moment,
00:12:49the last bit of gratitude
00:12:50I'd felt for Joseph
00:12:51vanished completely.
00:12:52I'd kept my promise,
00:12:53and my debt
00:12:54was paid in full.
00:12:55Evan,
00:12:56after these three years,
00:12:57I owe you nothing,
00:12:58and I owe your pack
00:13:00nothing either.
00:13:01I only hope you never
00:13:03come to regret this day.
00:13:04Evan let out
00:13:05a scoff of disbelief,
00:13:06looking away from me
00:13:07in disgust,
00:13:08his toneget and dismissal.
00:13:10Regret?
00:13:11Cutting loose a burden
00:13:12like you
00:13:12is the smartest thing
00:13:13I've ever done.
00:13:14Now get out of my sight.
00:13:15Now.
00:13:16The mate bond
00:13:17shattered entirely,
00:13:18not a single thread
00:13:19of connection
00:13:19left between us.
00:13:20Just then,
00:13:21Evan's brows
00:13:22fronted sharply,
00:13:23his alpha aura
00:13:23tensing up in an instant.
00:13:25Many pack members
00:13:26looked up too,
00:13:26their expressions on edge.
00:13:27A faint yet thick
00:13:28rustling sound
00:13:29drifted from the edge
00:13:30of the manor,
00:13:31low and menacing.
00:13:32It was the sound
00:13:32of rogues closing in,
00:13:34hundreds of miles away
00:13:35and closing fast.
00:13:38Little did they know,
00:13:40with me reject
00:13:41and cast out,
00:13:42my all-encompassing
00:13:43luna protection barrier
00:13:44had vanished,
00:13:45completely.
00:13:46The feral rogues
00:13:47I'd held back,
00:13:48kept at bay
00:13:49for three long years,
00:13:51were now charging
00:13:52straight for their borders
00:13:53in droves.
00:13:54And now that I'm gone,
00:13:56how will a weak alpha,
00:13:57paired with a fake mate
00:13:59who has no true
00:13:59luna power at all,
00:14:01defend this pack
00:14:02against thousands
00:14:03of bloodthirsty rogues.
00:14:07Get to the pack perimeter
00:14:08now and check out
00:14:09that noise.
00:14:10Waste any time,
00:14:12and you'll pay
00:14:12with your lives.
00:14:14Yes, sir.
00:14:17You're scared, Evan.
00:14:19This is what happens
00:14:20when you reject me.
00:14:21The rogues are closing in.
00:14:22Spare me your empty threats
00:14:23and delusional garbage.
00:14:24I formerly banished you.
00:14:26Know your place
00:14:26and leave.
00:14:27My pack hasn't seen
00:14:28a rogue in years.
00:14:29Do you really think
00:14:30you can curse us?
00:14:31You're just spouting nonsense
00:14:32out of spite
00:14:32for being cast aside,
00:14:33trying to stir up trouble.
00:14:35Exactly.
00:14:36Isabella,
00:14:36you can't stand
00:14:37being thrown out
00:14:38so you want to curse our pack?
00:14:39I see your true colors now.
00:14:41You're cruel to the core.
00:14:42If the rogues really come,
00:14:44you'll be the first one
00:14:44they grab.
00:14:45Let's see who's there
00:14:46to protect you then.
00:14:47Watching their hypocritical,
00:14:49colliding faces,
00:14:49I felt nothing but cold amusement.
00:14:51There was no point
00:14:52in wasting another word on them.
00:14:54I'd kept my promise,
00:14:55settled all scores.
00:14:56No reason to linger
00:14:57in this repulsive place
00:14:58any longer,
00:14:59putting up with their
00:15:00endless mockery
00:15:01and disdain.
00:15:02But the second I took
00:15:03a step to leave,
00:15:04Charlotte rushed over
00:15:04and cut me off.
00:15:05Hold it right there.
00:15:07You're not going anywhere.
00:15:10Isabella,
00:15:11Evans formally marked Selina,
00:15:12and the pack's true Luna
00:15:13is now in her rightful place.
00:15:14It's time you hand over
00:15:15that emblem.
00:15:16This sacred treasure,
00:15:17a symbol of the pack's glory,
00:15:19has no business resting
00:15:19on a freak like you.
00:15:21Exactly.
00:15:22Such a precious relic
00:15:23can't be tainted
00:15:24by someone unworthy.
00:15:25It belongs to me,
00:15:26the one who carries
00:15:27the pure-blood Luna lineage.
00:15:29Lady Luna Charlotte,
00:15:30I can feel the power
00:15:31in this emblem
00:15:32calling to me.
00:15:33Could it be,
00:15:33is the hidden pure-blood Luna lineage
00:15:35inside me finally waking up?
00:15:37Do you really believe
00:15:38that's what's happening, Selina?
00:15:40It has to be true.
00:15:42Only a noble,
00:15:43pure silver-eyed werewolf
00:15:44is worthy of wearing
00:15:45this emblem.
00:15:46Not like some outscat
00:15:47who's clung to a sacred relic
00:15:48for years,
00:15:49can't even bear an heir
00:15:50and wastes its power
00:15:51for nothing.
00:16:14Only those with true Luna blood
00:16:16can bear this emblem.
00:16:17A fake like you
00:16:18will never be worthy of it.
00:16:23Isabella,
00:16:24did you do this?
00:16:25Did you use witchcraft
00:16:27to control the aelum
00:16:28and hurt me on purpose?
00:16:29You cruel bitch!
00:16:30You just can't stand
00:16:31to see me happy!
00:16:35Isabella,
00:16:35you've gone too far.
00:16:37Pushing her wasn't enough,
00:16:38so you stooped
00:16:39to dirty tricks
00:16:39with dark witchcraft
00:16:40to hurt her again?
00:16:41How low can you get?
00:16:44His voice held
00:16:45a desperate urgency
00:16:46I'd never heard
00:16:46from him before.
00:16:47His fingers brushed gently
00:16:49around the burning wound
00:16:50on Selina's chest,
00:16:51his touch impossibly tender
00:16:53and careful.
00:16:54The very tenderness
00:16:55I'd stayed by his side
00:16:56for three years,
00:16:57craving,
00:16:58yet never once getting.
00:16:59I'd never sink that low.
00:17:00I'd never degrade myself
00:17:02by using such vile garbage
00:17:03as witchcraft.
00:17:04I finally got it.
00:17:05It wasn't that
00:17:05he couldn't be tender,
00:17:06it was just that
00:17:07his tenderly
00:17:08was never meant for me.
00:17:09Why?
00:17:11You wore this emblem
00:17:12for three years
00:17:13and never had a single problem.
00:17:14Why does it hurt Selina
00:17:16the second she touches it?
00:17:18Could it be...
00:17:20Could you be the real
00:17:21pure-blood Luna after all?
00:17:26Everyone froze,
00:17:27their eyes turning straight to me,
00:17:28filled with shock,
00:17:29doubt,
00:17:30and utter disbelief.
00:17:31No,
00:17:32it can't be.
00:17:34Evan,
00:17:34she only grew used
00:17:35to the emblem's aura
00:17:36from wearing it for so long.
00:17:38She is never the true
00:17:39pure-blood Luna heir.
00:17:40She must have cast witchcraft
00:17:42on the emblem beforehand
00:17:43to hurt me on purpose.
00:17:47Evan,
00:17:48do not let your mind wander.
00:17:49It is all Isabella's doing.
00:17:51Out of jealousy
00:17:52towards Selina,
00:17:53she schemed in secret,
00:17:54making the emblem
00:17:55harm Selina
00:17:56to confuse everyone's judgment.
00:17:58This outcast
00:17:59has a vicious heart.
00:18:03Do you really think
00:18:04I'd believe
00:18:05some golden-eyed freak
00:18:06is the true Luna heir?
00:18:07Ridiculous.
00:18:08You're just a petty,
00:18:09useless outcast
00:18:09begging for a title
00:18:10you don't deserve.
00:18:11Now get out
00:18:12and don't dare tarnish
00:18:12them Selina
00:18:13with your presence.
00:18:14Stop loitering here
00:18:15and getting in the way.
00:18:15Leave the main packhouse
00:18:16at once
00:18:17and never show
00:18:17your face to us again.
00:18:19Listening to these
00:18:19absurdly absurd accusations,
00:18:21I finally let out
00:18:22a cold laugh.
00:18:23There was no warmth
00:18:24in it at all.
00:18:25Carry all the forbearance
00:18:26and heartbreak
00:18:27of these three years.
00:18:31I walked out of the main packhouse
00:18:34I walked out of the main packhouse
00:18:34step by step.
00:18:35Three years of protection
00:18:36had only earned me betrayal,
00:18:37blame,
00:18:38and banishment.
00:18:39Even the last trace of hope
00:18:41in my heart
00:18:41was completely shattered.
00:18:43I pushed open the door
00:18:44to my home.
00:18:45Live room done
00:18:45was dent.
00:18:46And my father Marcus
00:18:47sat on the sofa
00:18:48with a cigarette
00:18:49between his fingers,
00:18:50undisguised mockery
00:18:51in his eyes.
00:18:52He lifted his gaze to me
00:18:54at the sound of footsteps.
00:18:55What happened?
00:18:56Driven back in disgrace
00:18:57after Evan broke your mate bond?
00:18:59I always knew a freak
00:19:01with strange eyes like you
00:19:02could never hold an alpha's heart,
00:19:03nor deserve the position of Luna.
00:19:05He took a good drag
00:19:06from his cigarette
00:19:06and exhaled the smoke slowly.
00:19:08Fortunately,
00:19:09I have two daughters.
00:19:10Selina is far more promising
00:19:12than you.
00:19:12Now that Evan has marked her,
00:19:14she will soon become
00:19:15the pack's Luna
00:19:15and bring me endless glory.
00:19:17Unlike you,
00:19:18born with those unlucky golden eyes,
00:19:20never able to succeed
00:19:21at anything since childhood.
00:19:22When I was young,
00:19:23Selina was always
00:19:24the only one
00:19:25seen on the pack training grounds.
00:19:26Father claimed silver eyes
00:19:28stood for pure lineage
00:19:29and only Selina
00:19:30deserved formal training.
00:19:31I could only hide in the corner,
00:19:33watching them laugh and rejoice.
00:19:34I possessed the very power
00:19:36they valued,
00:19:37yet no one ever taught me
00:19:38how to wield it.
00:19:38With time,
00:19:39everyone came to see me
00:19:40as a powerless,
00:19:41useless nobody.
00:19:42Not even my father
00:19:43had ever truly looked
00:19:44at me with kindness.
00:19:45Marcus stood up
00:19:46and walked before me,
00:19:47looking down at me from above.
00:19:49There was no trace
00:19:49of fatherly affection
00:19:50in his eyes,
00:19:51only cold calculation.
00:19:52Now that Evan
00:19:53has cast you aside,
00:19:54you have no more use left.
00:19:56I raised you all these years.
00:19:58I cannot keep feeding you
00:19:59for nothing.
00:19:59I have sold you
00:20:00to a crude low-rank werewolf
00:20:02from the black market.
00:20:03Though he is poor
00:20:04and unculturated,
00:20:05he is willing to borrow
00:20:06a large sump to buy you.
00:20:09father, what are you saying?
00:20:11Sell me?
00:20:12I refuse.
00:20:13Refuse?
00:20:14What right do you have?
00:20:16You cannot even bear children.
00:20:17Not qualified enough
00:20:18to be a breeder.
00:20:20What good are you
00:20:21besides being sold off?
00:20:24Father,
00:20:25selling someone of my lineage
00:20:27will bring you retribution.
00:20:29Retribution?
00:20:30All I know is keeping you
00:20:31is a waste of food.
00:20:32Selling you brings real profit.
00:20:33Where is any retribution?
00:20:34I clenched my fists,
00:20:35my voice shaking
00:20:36with a screed and defiance
00:20:37as I met his gaze directly.
00:20:38Part of the money
00:20:39from selling you
00:20:39to buy Selena top-class gown.
00:20:41Dressed in fine luxury,
00:20:42Evan will love her even more.
00:20:43To buy a dress for Selena,
00:20:44to win her Evan's affection.
00:20:46My own father
00:20:46was willing to cast me
00:20:47straight into hell.
00:20:48He called out toward the door
00:20:49and two tall pack members
00:20:51stepped inside.
00:20:51Seize her and lock her in a cage.
00:20:53Do not let her escape.
00:20:54Deliver her to the black market
00:20:55at Dawn Morrow.
00:20:55They grabbed my arms roughly,
00:20:56gripped so tight
00:20:57it felt as though
00:20:58they would crush my bones.
00:20:59I struggled in vain
00:21:00and shock faded completely
00:21:01into icy despair in my heart.
00:21:03In the store room,
00:21:04a cold iron cage already waited.
00:21:06They shoved me inside
00:21:07and slammed the lock shut.
00:21:08The faint golden glow
00:21:09in my eyes grew brighter.
00:21:11I held the strength
00:21:12of a pure blood Luna,
00:21:13yet I was treated
00:21:14as worthless cargo
00:21:15to be sold off.
00:21:16Never given the chance
00:21:17to unleash my power.
00:21:18Dawn had barely broken
00:21:19when footsteps echoed outside.
00:21:21I lifted my head
00:21:21to see Evan standing
00:21:22at the storage room entrance
00:21:23with Selena in his arms.
00:21:24Selena stepped forward
00:21:25to peer through the iron bars,
00:21:27her tone dripping
00:21:27with feigned sympathy
00:21:28and hypocrisy.
00:21:29Sister, I have no choice.
00:21:31It is father's decision.
00:21:32I tried to persuade him,
00:21:33but he would not listen.
00:21:35Just resign yourself
00:21:36to being a slave.
00:21:37I will serve well
00:21:38as the Pax Luna from now on.
00:21:39Solidify my position
00:21:40and live up
00:21:41to everyone's expectations.
00:21:43Marrying you in the first place
00:21:44was nothing but
00:21:44my father's momentary foolishness.
00:21:46Foolish enough to treasure
00:21:47an outcast like you.
00:21:48Looking back,
00:21:48breaking our mate bond in time
00:21:49was the wisest choice
00:21:50I ever made.
00:21:51With that,
00:21:52he turned to Selena beside him
00:21:53and stroked her hair
00:21:54gently,
00:21:55the very tenderness
00:21:56I had longed for
00:21:57countless times.
00:21:58Yet in this moment,
00:21:59watching the scene unfold,
00:22:00I felt nothing at all.
00:22:02No sorrow,
00:22:03no resentment,
00:22:04only utter emptiness
00:22:05and calm.
00:22:06My three years of devotion
00:22:07had long worn away
00:22:09under his endless cruelty
00:22:10and prejudice.
00:22:10I even found it laughable
00:22:12that I had once held
00:22:13any hope for such
00:22:14a cold, selfish man.
00:22:15Evan lowered his head
00:22:16to brush her hair fondly
00:22:17and was about to speak.
00:22:19The pack member
00:22:19rushed inside in a panic,
00:22:21his voice trembling.
00:22:21Alpha Evan,
00:22:23disaster.
00:22:24Several pack members
00:22:24have been found dead
00:22:25at the territory border,
00:22:26their bodies reeking
00:22:27of strong rogue scent.
00:22:28The tenderness on Evan's face
00:22:30vanished in an instant.
00:22:31His expression turned taut,
00:22:32filled with disbelief.
00:22:34What?
00:22:34Rogues?
00:22:35No rogues have ever come
00:22:36near our borders
00:22:37in three years.
00:22:38How could our people
00:22:38be killed all of a sudden?
00:22:39He frowned deeply,
00:22:41his gaze slowly falling on me
00:22:42as he looked me up and down.
00:22:44A flicker of doubt
00:22:45and disbelief
00:22:46crossed his eyes,
00:22:47his tone tentative.
00:22:48Could it be
00:22:49the reason no rogues
00:22:50drew near all these years
00:22:51was because of you?
00:22:53Was that the real reason
00:22:54my father Joseph
00:22:55insisted you stay by my side?
00:22:58The moment Selina heard this,
00:23:00she clung tightly
00:23:01to Evan's arm,
00:23:02eager to quiet his doubts
00:23:03and turn all blame onto me.
00:23:05Evan, do not entertain
00:23:06such foolish thoughts.
00:23:07How could it ever be her?
00:23:08She is nothing but a useless freak
00:23:10with strange eyes.
00:23:11What great power
00:23:12could she possibly possess?
00:23:14She must hold a grudge
00:23:16after you rejected her
00:23:17and father sold her away.
00:23:18She lured the rogues here
00:23:20on purpose
00:23:20to get revenge
00:23:21and destroy our pack.
00:23:22The doubt in his eyes
00:23:23faded completely,
00:23:24replaced by deeper loathing
00:23:25and rage.
00:23:26You are right.
00:23:27How could I ever believe
00:23:28an outcast holds
00:23:29such great power?
00:23:29It was you who lured
00:23:30the rogues here out of spite,
00:23:31getting our own people killed.
00:23:32His voice turned icy
00:23:34and killing Intect
00:23:35blazed in his eyes.
00:23:36I am heading to deal
00:23:37with the murders
00:23:38at the border now.
00:23:39I will settle this score
00:23:40with you when I return.
00:23:42Selling you to the black market
00:23:43is far too lenient.
00:23:45By rights,
00:23:45a vicious outwrit like you
00:23:46deserves hanging
00:23:47to comfort the souls
00:23:48of the fallen pack members.
00:23:49With that,
00:23:50he did not spare me
00:23:51another glance.
00:23:52Wrapping an arm
00:23:52around Selina's waist,
00:23:53he turned and left quickly,
00:23:55his footsteps fading away,
00:23:56leaving me alone
00:23:57in the cold iron cage.
00:23:59I curled up on the cage floor
00:24:00and stared toward the door.
00:24:01Evan,
00:24:02you will regret this.
00:24:03Before long,
00:24:04two pack members
00:24:05hurried over.
00:24:05they roughly unlocked the cage,
00:24:07grabbed my arms,
00:24:08and dragged me out
00:24:09of the storage room,
00:24:10shoving me into
00:24:10an old transport vehicle.
00:24:12After an endless ride,
00:24:13the vehicle finally
00:24:14came to a stop,
00:24:15and the door swung open,
00:24:16flooding the space
00:24:17with harsh sunlight.
00:24:18I was dragged out
00:24:19and thrown onto the ground.
00:24:20This place was the black market
00:24:21for low-rank werewolf trades,
00:24:23filled with females
00:24:24sold as breeders,
00:24:25outcasts auctioned off
00:24:26as slaves,
00:24:26every face etched
00:24:27with numbness and despair.
00:24:28I had no idea
00:24:29who would buy me next,
00:24:30nor what cruel fate
00:24:31awaited me.
00:24:34Two pack members
00:24:35pressed down hard
00:24:35on my shoulders,
00:24:36forcing me forward
00:24:37unsteadily.
00:24:38Soon they stopped
00:24:39and pushed me
00:24:39before a man.
00:24:40Sebastian,
00:24:41we have brought
00:24:41the girl to you.
00:24:42Marcus instructed us
00:24:43to hand her over personally.
00:24:44The man lifted his eyes
00:24:46slightly,
00:24:46saying nothing at first,
00:24:47only looking me over
00:24:48with a cold,
00:24:49emotionless expression.
00:24:50He wore rough,
00:24:51tattered clothes
00:24:51faded from wear
00:24:52with several tears
00:24:53here and there.
00:24:53Yet his frame
00:24:54was broad and powerful,
00:24:55his shoulders
00:24:56as solid as a wall.
00:24:57His features
00:24:57were sharp and stern,
00:24:58his jawline tight
00:24:59with shovel lining his jaw.
00:25:00A wild,
00:25:01unapproachable aura
00:25:01clung to him,
00:25:02giving him a down-broten
00:25:03yet dominazing air.
00:25:04Rest assured,
00:25:05she is untouched.
00:25:07Only she failed
00:25:08to bear an air
00:25:09for Alpha Heaven.
00:25:11Be quiet.
00:25:13His voice was deep
00:25:14and horsey
00:25:15with a rough edge,
00:25:16impatience clear
00:25:16in his tone.
00:25:17The pack member
00:25:18flinched in fright,
00:25:19bowed quickly
00:25:19and retreated.
00:25:20Only the two of us
00:25:21remained.
00:25:22He said nothing,
00:25:23simply looking down
00:25:24at me with an unnerving calm.
00:25:25No greed,
00:25:26no judgment,
00:25:27only unyielding dominance.
00:25:29Let go of me!
00:25:30Sebastian glanced down
00:25:31at my reddened wrist,
00:25:32loosening his grip slightly
00:25:33yet still refusing
00:25:34to release me.
00:25:35Save your words.
00:25:36Just come with me.
00:25:38Up close,
00:25:39I saw his eyes
00:25:40held unfathomable depth,
00:25:42hiding a quiet restraint
00:25:43and an innate nobility
00:25:44beneath his rough exterior.
00:25:45Even in ragged clothes
00:25:47covered in dust,
00:25:48his hidden sharp aroma
00:25:49could not be concealed.
00:25:50Somehow,
00:25:51the moment he touched
00:25:52my wrist,
00:25:52the werewolf's
00:25:53spiritual power
00:25:54inside me
00:25:54stirred restlessly.
00:25:56Heat spread
00:25:57through my veins
00:25:58to every corner
00:25:59of my body,
00:26:00making my breath
00:26:01quick up uncontrollably.
00:26:04The wolf inside me
00:26:06roared wildly,
00:26:07its cry echoing clearly
00:26:08and urgently
00:26:08in my heart.
00:26:09I pushed down
00:26:10the swirling confusion
00:26:11and flutter in my chest
00:26:12and followed him
00:26:13silently forward,
00:26:14uncertain of what lay ahead.
00:26:16The car traveled
00:26:17for a long time
00:26:17before finally stopping
00:26:18outside a plain wooden cottage.
00:26:20It was not large,
00:26:21even simple in design,
00:26:22yet spotlessly clean.
00:26:23Even the weeds
00:26:24in the yard
00:26:24were neatly trimmed.
00:26:25A stark contrast
00:26:26to his rough
00:26:27hawked around to my side
00:26:28and steadabled me gently.
00:26:29His touch was soft
00:26:30and restrained,
00:26:31nothing like his
00:26:31brusque manner earlier.
00:26:33I looked up at him,
00:26:34my confusion deepening.
00:26:36All that roughness
00:26:37and coldness
00:26:37had truly been nothing
00:26:38but a mask he wore
00:26:39at the black market.
00:26:40Beneath it lay
00:26:41unexpected gentleness,
00:26:43leaving me utterly
00:26:43unable to read him.
00:26:45I followed him inside.
00:26:47The furnishings were simple,
00:26:48only a wooden sofa,
00:26:49a dining table,
00:26:50and two closed doors.
00:26:51Yet everything was immaculate
00:26:52and orderly,
00:26:53the table polished
00:26:54bright enough
00:26:54to see one's reflection.
00:26:56It was clear the place
00:26:57was carefully tended.
00:26:58I stood frozen,
00:26:59thinking to myself,
00:27:00now that he has bought me
00:27:01from the black market,
00:27:02I am his property after all.
00:27:04I ought to learn
00:27:05to wait on him
00:27:06and tend to his needs.
00:27:09Let me take your coat for you.
00:27:10It is covered in dust.
00:27:12No need.
00:27:13The moment my fingertips
00:27:14brushed the hem of his coat,
00:27:16Sebastian stepped back
00:27:17intinctively,
00:27:18evading my touch.
00:27:20I pulled my hand back,
00:27:21a trace of disappointment
00:27:23settling in my heart,
00:27:24unable to understand
00:27:25why he treated me
00:27:26with such cold distance.
00:27:30I...
00:27:31I want to do something for you.
00:27:33I can't idle around all day.
00:27:35Sebastian glanced up at me,
00:27:37his tone cold and distant.
00:27:39There's nothing you need to do.
00:27:41Just stay by my side at night.
00:27:42I've already arranged a maid
00:27:44to look after you.
00:27:45My heart sank immediately.
00:27:46We were bound by blood,
00:27:47faded mates,
00:27:48yet he only saw me
00:27:49as someone to warm his bed
00:27:50and satisfy his desires.
00:27:51He treated me even worse
00:27:52than Evan ever did.
00:27:53Just then,
00:27:54a slim young girl
00:27:55stepped out of one of the rooms.
00:27:56She had sharp,
00:27:57unrigally eyes
00:27:58and her hair tied
00:27:58in a neat ponytail.
00:27:59The moment she laid eyes on me,
00:28:01her expression turned icy.
00:28:02She frowned openly,
00:28:03looking unimpressed,
00:28:04her voice edged with sarcasm.
00:28:06Brother,
00:28:06is this the girl
00:28:07you tried so hard to buy?
00:28:08She looks plain,
00:28:10skinny,
00:28:10and those golden eyes
00:28:12are a freak.
00:28:14What's so special about her
00:28:15that you'd go all out?
00:28:18Ella,
00:28:20watch your tone.
00:28:21Ella pouted,
00:28:22shot me a sharp glare,
00:28:24said nothing else,
00:28:25then turned and slammed
00:28:26her door shut,
00:28:27clearly resentful.
00:28:31At that moment,
00:28:32maid Clara walked over
00:28:33with a glass of water.
00:28:34She stopped as soon as she saw me
00:28:36and gave a respectful,
00:28:37slight bow.
00:28:39Miss,
00:28:39my name is Clara.
00:28:42I'll be your maid
00:28:44and take care of your daily needs.
00:28:46For the next week,
00:28:47Sebastian left early
00:28:48and returned late.
00:28:50Every night,
00:28:51he would be intimate with me,
00:28:53possessive,
00:28:53yet always keeping
00:28:54an emotional distance.
00:28:57Could it be that in his eyes,
00:28:58I would never be worth
00:28:59genuine care,
00:29:00never worthy of being
00:29:02his rightful mate?
00:29:05Lately,
00:29:06my werewolf powers
00:29:07had been acting strange.
00:29:09My monthly spiritual cycle
00:29:10was long overdue.
00:29:12Sebastian remained secretive,
00:29:14never letting anyone know
00:29:16where he went
00:29:16during the day.
00:29:17His nightly closeness
00:29:19felt deliberately detached.
00:29:22The huge wooden house
00:29:24always felt empty
00:29:25without him,
00:29:26loneliness coiling around me
00:29:27like creeping vines.
00:29:29Restless,
00:29:30I turned on the
00:29:31PAC News channel.
00:29:32One news report
00:29:33made me race felt
00:29:34made me freeze on the spot.
00:29:36Reporter,
00:29:37Marcus of the Blood Moon TAC
00:29:38died mysteriously
00:29:39at home last week.
00:29:41No visible wounds
00:29:42were found on his body
00:29:42and the cause of death
00:29:43remains unknown.
00:29:45Alpha Evan
00:29:45has ordered a full investigation
00:29:47with no new leads
00:29:49released so far.
00:29:50I stared at Marcus' photo
00:29:51on screen,
00:29:52tightening my grip
00:29:53on the remote.
00:29:54I felt a twinge
00:29:55of conflict inside,
00:29:57but mostly quiet relief.
00:29:59Father,
00:30:00you brought this
00:30:00on yourself.
00:30:02You sold me off
00:30:03like merchandise-y
00:30:04without a second thought,
00:30:05ignored me completely,
00:30:07and treated Selena
00:30:08and me nothing alike.
00:30:09What happened to you now
00:30:10is your own fault.
00:30:12No one else is to blame.
00:30:14Right after I spoke,
00:30:16a wave of sudden nausea
00:30:17rushed up my throat.
00:30:18I clamped a hand
00:30:20over my mouth
00:30:20and rushed to the bathroom
00:30:22throwing up,
00:30:23feeling weak all over.
00:30:24Clara happened to bring
00:30:25fruit by
00:30:26and hurried over
00:30:27to steady me.
00:30:28Miss,
00:30:29are you all right?
00:30:30You look unwell.
00:30:31I'll go fetch a healer
00:30:32right away.
00:30:33Please hold on.
00:30:34I nodded weakly.
00:30:36Soon,
00:30:37Clara returned
00:30:37with a werewolf physician.
00:30:39There's no need to worry.
00:30:41You're perfectly healthy
00:30:42physically.
00:30:42The nausea,
00:30:43vomiting,
00:30:44and unstable spiritual energy
00:30:45are all symptoms
00:30:46of pregnancy.
00:30:47I stared at the physician
00:30:49in shock.
00:30:50The woman Evan mocked
00:30:51as Berend,
00:30:52the one my own father
00:30:53dismissed as unfit
00:30:54to bear offspring,
00:30:55was now carrying a child.
00:30:58My mind was in chaos.
00:31:00I tried reaching Sebastian
00:31:01through the werewolf mind link,
00:31:03hoping to tell him
00:31:04quietly I was pregnant.
00:31:05But no matter how
00:31:06I sent my thoughts,
00:31:07there was only silence
00:31:08from his side.
00:31:09No reply at all.
00:31:13I was growing anxious
00:31:15when a messenger
00:31:16from Werewolf Academy
00:31:17arrived at the door,
00:31:18clearly flustered.
00:31:23Is Mr. Sebastian home?
00:31:25Miss Ella got into a fight
00:31:26at the youth training camp
00:31:27and hurt another student.
00:31:28The school is asking
00:31:29for a family member
00:31:29to come sort this out
00:31:30immediately.
00:31:31Sebastian was still
00:31:32nowhere to be found,
00:31:33and the mind link
00:31:34still wouldn't connect.
00:31:36I was the one
00:31:36he'd bought at the black market.
00:31:38With no one else available,
00:31:39I had no choice
00:31:40but to go in his place
00:31:41and settle the dispute
00:31:42at the academy.
00:31:47Werewolf Academy
00:31:47stood on neutral land,
00:31:49independent of any pack,
00:31:50where young werewolves
00:31:52from all clans
00:31:53came to train and study.
00:31:55I drove to the academy alone.
00:31:58In the distance,
00:31:59I saw Ella being lectured
00:32:00by a middle-aged woman
00:32:01whose back was turned to me.
00:32:04Ella and another boy
00:32:05were called into
00:32:06the dean's office.
00:32:07I walked over to speak
00:32:09to the woman.
00:32:09There's no need
00:32:10to embarrass a pup like this.
00:32:11We can talk this over calmly.
00:32:13When I got a clear look
00:32:14at her face,
00:32:14I realized it was
00:32:15Evan's aunt, Martha.
00:32:17Martha looked me up
00:32:18and down slowly,
00:32:19her gaze full of contempt,
00:32:20her tone sharp and cutting.
00:32:22Well, look who decided
00:32:22to show up.
00:32:24Kicked out of your pack,
00:32:25sold to the black market
00:32:26by your own father,
00:32:27and now you live
00:32:28like a nobody.
00:32:31How dare you meddle
00:32:32in our family's business.
00:32:36I met her gaze
00:32:37without an ounce
00:32:38of timeliness.
00:32:39My life is none
00:32:39of your business.
00:32:41Even after being sold,
00:32:42I've restooped as low as you,
00:32:44lambed onto your pack power,
00:32:45bullying the weak,
00:32:46and picking on a pup
00:32:47in public.
00:32:49Martha's face turned dark,
00:32:50firing back without remorse.
00:32:52Me bullying her?
00:32:54Ella started it.
00:32:56She had attacked
00:32:57my son Jack first.
00:32:58Am I allowed
00:32:59to discipline her?
00:33:01I knew very well
00:33:03Jack had always been arrogant
00:33:04and dominant
00:33:05in Evan's territory,
00:33:06always picking on
00:33:07the weaker students
00:33:08and never stayed
00:33:09out of trouble.
00:33:10Ella is quiet by nature
00:33:12and never picks fights
00:33:13for no reason.
00:33:14She only lashed out
00:33:15because your son
00:33:16mocked and provoked
00:33:17her first.
00:33:18Left lost for words
00:33:19by my reply,
00:33:20Martha flew into a rage,
00:33:22dropping all pretend
00:33:23of politeness
00:33:24and raising her
00:33:25hand to slap me.
00:33:28I blocked her
00:33:29instinctively.
00:33:30The moment our hands
00:33:31touched,
00:33:32a powerful
00:33:33invisible divine force
00:33:34urged out of me,
00:33:36pinning her rigidly face,
00:33:37unable to move a muscle.
00:33:40I was stunned myself,
00:33:42never expecting
00:33:43to suddenly awaken
00:33:44such power.
00:33:45Deep inside me,
00:33:46my wolf spirit spoke.
00:33:48Mistress,
00:33:49it is your pregnancy.
00:33:51The life growing
00:33:52inside you
00:33:52has fully awakened
00:33:53your dormant
00:33:54ancient lunar bloodline.
00:33:55Your divine power
00:33:56will only grow stronger
00:33:57from here on.
00:34:00I stood there
00:34:01completely dumbfounded.
00:34:06Trapped by my power,
00:34:07Martha stared at me
00:34:09in utter disbelief.
00:34:11What?
00:34:11You've never had
00:34:13formal werewolf training?
00:34:14A discarded outcast
00:34:16sold at the black market.
00:34:18How can...
00:34:20How can you wield
00:34:22such powerful
00:34:23divine magic?
00:34:25Just then,
00:34:26a cold, familiar voice
00:34:28came from behind me.
00:34:29I turned slowly
00:34:30to see Evan
00:34:31walking toward me.
00:34:32Selina clung tightly
00:34:33to his side,
00:34:34dressed in an elegant gown
00:34:35with perfect makeup,
00:34:36her eyes glinting
00:34:37with quiet amusement
00:34:38at the scene.
00:34:39Evan fixed me
00:34:40with a cold, stern look.
00:34:42Isabella?
00:34:43You've grown far too bold.
00:34:45How dare you lay hands
00:34:47on my aunt?
00:34:48You've lost all sense
00:34:49of manners and decency.
00:34:52Our mate bond
00:34:53was broken long ago.
00:34:54We have nothing
00:34:55left between us.
00:34:56Martha has always
00:34:57treated me with malice
00:34:58and scorn
00:34:59and now she bullies
00:35:00a pup unjustly.
00:35:01I owe her
00:35:01no respect whatsoever.
00:35:02Evan scanned
00:35:03my plain, simple clothes
00:35:04from head to toe,
00:35:06his eyes filled
00:35:06with disdain.
00:35:08After being sold
00:35:09to the black market,
00:35:10you've become crude
00:35:11and reckless.
00:35:12Your manners are gone,
00:35:13you're dressed plain
00:35:14and shabby.
00:35:15Not a trace
00:35:16of your old poise remains.
00:35:17Beside him,
00:35:18Selina put on
00:35:19a soft, gentle act,
00:35:20pretending to mediate
00:35:21while secretly
00:35:22stirring up trouble.
00:35:24Evan,
00:35:24don't let this upset you.
00:35:26Sister has fallen
00:35:27so far now.
00:35:28Her judgment
00:35:29and grace
00:35:29are long gone.
00:35:31There's no need
00:35:31to argue with her.
00:35:32Evan frowned,
00:35:33stepping aside
00:35:34to avoid the crowd's gaze,
00:35:35then spoke to me
00:35:36in a low voice.
00:35:36Come with me,
00:35:37I need to talk
00:35:37to you privately.
00:35:39I followed him aside,
00:35:41growing impatient,
00:35:42wondering what he wanted now.
00:35:44Instead of answering
00:35:44right away,
00:35:45he leaned in
00:35:46and breathed
00:35:47in the scent of my hair.
00:35:48I've missed you
00:35:49a lot lately.
00:35:49His eyes lingered
00:35:51greedily on my neck
00:35:52as his hand
00:35:52drifted restlessly
00:35:53to my waist.
00:35:54I turned my head
00:35:55away to avoid him.
00:35:57Isabella,
00:35:57I miss being with you.
00:35:59Being with Selina,
00:36:00it's nothing
00:36:01compared to you.
00:36:02He almost sounded wronged
00:36:03as if I owed him something.
00:36:04Then his tone
00:36:05turned cold
00:36:05as he mentioned
00:36:06the man who'd bought me,
00:36:07seething with jealousy
00:36:08at the thought of me
00:36:08belonging to a rough nobody.
00:36:10He stepped closer
00:36:10and lowered his voice.
00:36:11Come back and be my mistress.
00:36:12I'll give you mansions,
00:36:13jewels,
00:36:14silk gowns.
00:36:16Everything Selina has,
00:36:17you'll have.
00:36:17And more.
00:36:18I looked at his
00:36:19desperate, prideful act
00:36:20and suddenly laughed.
00:36:24Even if he had
00:36:24nothing at all,
00:36:26he's still better than you.
00:36:27That one sentence
00:36:28made his face
00:36:29burn red
00:36:30as if I'd slapped him
00:36:31in public.
00:36:32I'd struck his fragile ego,
00:36:34thin as eggshell.
00:36:35Just then,
00:36:36Selina walked over
00:36:37from a distance,
00:36:38eyeing us suspiciously
00:36:39and asking what
00:36:40we were talking about.
00:36:42I shook my head
00:36:43and said nothing,
00:36:44but as several
00:36:44wereswolves walked past,
00:36:45I deliberately
00:36:46raised my voice.
00:36:47There's something
00:36:47everyone should know.
00:36:48Evan
00:36:50is infertile.
00:36:54Evan spun around,
00:36:56glaring at me sharply.
00:36:56his wolf pupil
00:36:57slitted with rage
00:36:58and embarrassment,
00:36:59his face draining of color.
00:37:00The passing werewolves
00:37:01stopped and watched,
00:37:02whispering and slurkering,
00:37:04their mocking eyes
00:37:05burning into Evan.
00:37:06Selina froze on the spot,
00:37:08her smile fading instantly.
00:37:10She stared at Evan
00:37:11in shock and doubt,
00:37:12studying his flustered
00:37:14expression closely.
00:37:15I stayed calm and composed,
00:37:18gently placing one hand
00:37:19over my stomach,
00:37:20my tone steady
00:37:21and unyielding.
00:37:22I'm pregnant.
00:37:24You're delirious.
00:37:26There's no way
00:37:27you could be pregnant.
00:37:28I looked on indifferently,
00:37:29no longer bothering
00:37:30to explain myself.
00:37:32Believe it or not,
00:37:34I don't owe anyone
00:37:35an explanation.
00:37:36Martha stepped forward
00:37:37at once with a sneer.
00:37:38Pregnant or not,
00:37:40it's still just some
00:37:41low-class,
00:37:42werewolf's bastard child.
00:37:45Selina quickly agreed,
00:37:46her tone sharp
00:37:47and full of scorn.
00:37:49Exactly.
00:37:50Nothing to be proud of.
00:37:52She reeks of
00:37:53common werewolf aura.
00:37:56I leaned forward slightly,
00:37:58breathing in subtly
00:37:59when near the three of them,
00:38:00my voice thick
00:38:00with mockery and certainty.
00:38:02No matter my place now,
00:38:04I'm still better
00:38:05than the three of you.
00:38:06You all reek of rogue stench.
00:38:07Your pack is already
00:38:09overrun by rogue raids,
00:38:10barely holding itself together.
00:38:12Yet you still come
00:38:13to this neutral school
00:38:14to bully others
00:38:15and stir up trouble.
00:38:16My words hit Evan
00:38:17right where it hurt.
00:38:19I'd seen pack news
00:38:20long before now,
00:38:22reporting his territory
00:38:24plagued by constant rogue attacks,
00:38:26leaving him stressed
00:38:27and sleepless.
00:38:29Evan paled instantly,
00:38:31his anger mixing with panic
00:38:33as he snapped back harshly.
00:38:47And no rogue troubles at all.
00:38:52Martha and Selina also paled,
00:38:54avoiding eye contact nervously,
00:38:56subtly suppressing their era
00:38:57to hide the rogue scent
00:38:58clinging to them.
00:38:59The onlooking werewolves
00:39:00began murmuring,
00:39:01looking at the three
00:39:01with obvious suspicion.
00:39:02Just then,
00:39:03the academy's elder dean
00:39:04hurried over
00:39:05with a stern expression,
00:39:06raising a hand
00:39:07to quiet the crowd.
00:39:08That's enough!
00:39:09This is neutral academy ground.
00:39:11No quarreling or disruption
00:39:12of student training
00:39:14will be tolerated.
00:39:15Ella and Jack
00:39:16were led out
00:39:16by school staff.
00:39:18Jack had faint
00:39:19scratch marks
00:39:19on his face.
00:39:20Ella kept her head down,
00:39:21her stubborn spirit
00:39:23clear as ever.
00:39:23I turned to Ella,
00:39:25softening my tone
00:39:26as I asked gently,
00:39:28Ella,
00:39:28what really made you
00:39:29fight Jack?
00:39:32I looked at Ella,
00:39:33her eyes red
00:39:34yet still forcing herself
00:39:35to stay strong,
00:39:37stubborn by nature.
00:39:38She rarely showed vulnerability,
00:39:40but now she could not
00:39:41hide her hurt,
00:39:42biting her lip
00:39:43to hold back her tears.
00:39:44Ella lifted her head sharply,
00:39:46her voice trembling
00:39:47yet firm.
00:39:49He started it first!
00:39:52Jack mocked me
00:39:53in front of everyone,
00:39:54said I didn't belong
00:39:55in the training camp,
00:39:56and called Brother Sebastian
00:39:58a nobody
00:39:58with no real power.
00:40:00Jack looked utterly unconvinced
00:40:02and fired back at once.
00:40:06It's the truth.
00:40:08I didn't make any of it up.
00:40:10Ella grew emotional,
00:40:12raising her voice.
00:40:13He even tugged
00:40:14at my wolf fur
00:40:15and shoved me
00:40:15against the wall.
00:40:17He pointed right
00:40:18at my face
00:40:18and called Sister
00:40:19a golden-eyed freak
00:40:20who couldn't bear pups,
00:40:21said you deserve
00:40:22being sold away.
00:40:25I held back
00:40:26again and again,
00:40:27but he just kept pushing me.
00:40:29I had no choice
00:40:30but to fight back.
00:40:31I stood frozen,
00:40:33my heart aching
00:40:33with emotion.
00:40:34I'd always thought
00:40:34I was nothing more
00:40:35than someone Sebastian
00:40:36had bought,
00:40:37that there was always
00:40:37a distance between
00:40:38Ella and me,
00:40:39that she'd kept
00:40:39her cold reserve
00:40:40towards me.
00:40:41I never imagined
00:40:42she would stand up
00:40:42for me so fiercely
00:40:43when others slandered
00:40:44and looked down on me.
00:40:45My gaze fell on her arms,
00:40:47marked with faint
00:40:48scratch wounds.
00:40:49a few tufts
00:40:51of wolf fur
00:40:51had been torn
00:40:52from her neck
00:40:52and there was
00:40:53a faint bruise
00:40:54at the corner
00:40:55of her mouth.
00:40:57She looked worn
00:40:58and utterly heartbreaking.
00:41:02In that moment,
00:41:03memories of being
00:41:04wronged, mocked
00:41:04and bullied
00:41:05relentlessly
00:41:05crashed over me
00:41:06like a tide.
00:41:07Shunned as a freak
00:41:08by Evans Pack,
00:41:09humiliated publicly
00:41:09by Selina,
00:41:10sold off like
00:41:11Merchanti by my own father,
00:41:12branded barren
00:41:12by everyone around me,
00:41:14all the suppressed
00:41:14grief and resentment
00:41:15welled up inside,
00:41:16flaring into a fierce
00:41:17urge to protect Ella.
00:41:18I reached out
00:41:18and gently stroked
00:41:19her hair,
00:41:20calming the storm
00:41:21of emotion in my chest,
00:41:23then turned to face
00:41:24Jack,
00:41:24Martha,
00:41:25and the rest of them.
00:41:28Jack insulted
00:41:29others openly
00:41:30and resorted
00:41:30to violence first.
00:41:33Martha turns
00:41:33a blind eye
00:41:34to her son's
00:41:35wrongnings
00:41:35and enables
00:41:36his cruelty.
00:41:37Your own pack
00:41:38is overrun
00:41:39by rogues
00:41:40and barely holding on,
00:41:41yet you still
00:41:42find time
00:41:43to bully a pup
00:41:44and insult others.
00:41:46Isn't that both
00:41:47ridiculous and pitiful?
00:41:48The moment
00:41:49my words landed,
00:41:50Martha flew into a rage.
00:41:51She stepped forward
00:41:52abruptly,
00:41:52japping a finger
00:41:53straight at me
00:41:54and snapping sharply.
00:41:55Who do you think
00:41:55you are?
00:41:56How dare you judge us?
00:41:58My birth clan
00:41:58is the blood moon pack,
00:42:00my in-law's
00:42:00the silver flang pack.
00:42:01Say another word
00:42:03and I'll have
00:42:04these two great packs
00:42:05pressure this academy.
00:42:07Not only will
00:42:08Ella be severely punished,
00:42:10I'll make you
00:42:11apologize to us
00:42:12mother and son
00:42:13in front of everyone.
00:42:15The elder in charge
00:42:17of the training camp
00:42:17hurried over,
00:42:18followed by several guards,
00:42:19his area commanding
00:42:20and unheased.
00:42:21Silence, all of you.
00:42:22Jack provoked,
00:42:23insulted,
00:42:23and attacked first.
00:42:24He must apologize
00:42:24sincerely to Ella
00:42:25and Isabella.
00:42:26Martha will no longer
00:42:27be a ladle
00:42:27in student affairs
00:42:28for turning a blind eye
00:42:28to right and wrong
00:42:29and abusing her status.
00:42:30Anyone else who
00:42:30stirs up trouble
00:42:31will be expelled
00:42:32from the academy
00:42:32permanently,
00:42:33never to be admitted again.
00:42:34He then turned to me,
00:42:36his tone softening noticeably.
00:42:37Lyman Queen,
00:42:39rest assured,
00:42:39this is neutral ground.
00:42:41No one shall harm you
00:42:43or Ella.
00:42:44You need not fear
00:42:45for the one watching
00:42:45over you from the shadows.
00:42:47He will always keep you safe.
00:42:52I stared at him
00:42:53in utter disbelief.
00:42:55Elder,
00:42:55you must have mistaken me
00:42:57for someone else.
00:42:58I'm no Lyman Queen.
00:43:00I'm just just
00:43:00an ordinary werewolf.
00:43:02I could never deserve
00:43:03such a title.
00:43:04The Elder shook his head faintly,
00:43:05his eyes deep
00:43:06and cryptic,
00:43:07gesturing for me
00:43:08not to press further.
00:43:09This is not the time
00:43:10to speak of it.
00:43:11The matter runs far deeper
00:43:12than you know.
00:43:12When the time comes,
00:43:14all will be revealed.
00:43:16For now,
00:43:17let us resolve
00:43:17what lies before us.
00:43:23At that,
00:43:24Evan, Martha,
00:43:25and Selina
00:43:25burst out in mocking laughter.
00:43:27Martha even clutched
00:43:29her stomach dramatically,
00:43:30sneering openly
00:43:31as she pointed at me.
00:43:33Elder,
00:43:34have you lost your wits?
00:43:35Or has this freak
00:43:37bewitched you somehow?
00:43:38Her?
00:43:39A lowly werewolf
00:43:40sold at the black market
00:43:41who can't even protect herself?
00:43:42The legendary Lycan Queen?
00:43:52What a ridiculous joke!
00:43:54Selina leaned close to Evan,
00:43:56her eyes filled with contempt.
00:43:58She raised her voice deliberately,
00:43:59making sure every watching werewolf
00:44:01could hear clearly.
00:44:02Exactly, Elder.
00:44:03The Lycan Queen
00:44:04is a noble existence
00:44:05who rules over all wolf clans.
00:44:07She's nothing but an outcast
00:44:08abandoned by her pack,
00:44:09mocked for being unable
00:44:10to bear young.
00:44:13How can you place
00:44:14such an exalt title
00:44:15on someone like her?
00:44:17The Elder's expression
00:44:18darkened at once,
00:44:19his imposing aura
00:44:20sweeping over the square.
00:44:22His eyes turned cold
00:44:23and sharp
00:44:24as he thundered,
00:44:25silencing every
00:44:26onlooker instantly.
00:44:30Hold your tongues!
00:44:32This neutral training camp
00:44:33is no place
00:44:34for your reckless arrogance.
00:44:35Speak ill of Isabella
00:44:36one more time,
00:44:37mock her again,
00:44:38and I will have
00:44:39all of you detained.
00:44:40Strip part of your wolf power,
00:44:41expel you from the camp,
00:44:42and bar you from ever returning.
00:44:44Martha tried to argue back,
00:44:46but froze under
00:44:47the Elder's icy stare.
00:44:50The words died
00:44:51in her throat.
00:44:52Furious as she was,
00:44:54she dared not act out
00:44:55any further.
00:44:56The Elder turned to Jack,
00:44:57who still looked
00:44:58stubbornly defiant.
00:45:00Jack,
00:45:01apologize to Ella
00:45:02and Isabella at once.
00:45:03Speak with genuine remorse
00:45:04and admit your faults.
00:45:05Refuse,
00:45:06and you will be expelled today.
00:45:08I will notify your pack,
00:45:09and you will never be allowed
00:45:10entry into any
00:45:11werewolf training camp again.
00:45:13Jack clenched his fists tightly,
00:45:15his face burninged
00:45:16with stubbornness
00:45:16and resentment.
00:45:17He glared fiercely at Ella,
00:45:19yet trembled under
00:45:20the Elder's overwhelming pressure,
00:45:22and finally lowered his head.
00:45:27I'm sorry.
00:45:31I shouldn't have called you
00:45:33a half-blood stray,
00:45:34insulted your brother,
00:45:36tugged your wolf fur,
00:45:37or pushed you against the wall.
00:45:39I apologize.
00:45:42Ella pressed her lips together
00:45:43and said nothing,
00:45:44only nodded faintly.
00:45:46the hurt in her eyes
00:45:47easing a little.
00:45:51Let's go.
00:45:52I'll settle this score
00:45:53with you two,
00:45:54sooner or later.
00:45:55Martha shook with rage.
00:45:57She shot a venomous glare
00:45:58at me and Ella,
00:45:58then grabbed Jack's arm roughly,
00:46:00her tone seeking with malice.
00:46:02Evan looked at me
00:46:02with complicated eyes,
00:46:03resentment, confusion,
00:46:05and a flicker of hidden unease.
00:46:06He shot the Elder
00:46:07a long, wary glance,
00:46:08yet dared not say another word.
00:46:09He turned and left
00:46:09the camp square
00:46:10with Martha and Selina,
00:46:11looking both furious
00:46:12and defeated.
00:46:13Before leaving,
00:46:13Selina glanced back at me
00:46:14with a sharp, hateful stare.
00:46:18I watched them leave,
00:46:19then turned back to the Elder,
00:46:21still utterly confused,
00:46:23my tone urgent.
00:46:25Elder,
00:46:26why do you keep calling me
00:46:27Lycan Queen?
00:46:28I'm not the person
00:46:29you think I am.
00:46:30My mate is only
00:46:32an ordinary werewolf.
00:46:33How could I ever bear
00:46:34such a title?
00:46:35The Elder shook his head slowly,
00:46:37his gaze deep
00:46:38with untold secrets.
00:46:39He motioned for me
00:46:40to calm myself,
00:46:41his tone cryptic
00:46:42yet laced with quiet warmth.
00:46:43This matter is of great consequence
00:46:45and touches countless threads of fate.
00:46:47I cannot reveal
00:46:48a single detail yet.
00:46:49Only remember this.
00:46:51Someone has been protecting you
00:46:52in the shadows.
00:46:53No matter what dangers lie ahead,
00:46:55you have nothing to fear.
00:46:56I turned to Ella beside me,
00:46:58wondering if she knew
00:46:59anything of this.
00:47:01Ella,
00:47:02does any of this make sense to you?
00:47:03Why would the Elder call me that?
00:47:05Ella smiled innocently
00:47:07and shook her head,
00:47:08then skipped off
00:47:08into the distance,
00:47:09her voice light and flaky.
00:47:10No idea, sister.
00:47:11You'll have to figure it out yourself!
00:47:13Back home,
00:47:14I pushed open the door
00:47:15to find Sebastian
00:47:16sitting quietly
00:47:16on the living room sofa,
00:47:17holding a Wolf Clan medicinal herb
00:47:19between his fingers,
00:47:20waiting for us.
00:47:20You're back.
00:47:22Did anything else happen at the camp?
00:47:25Has Ella been wronged again?
00:47:26Ella shook her head
00:47:27and walked over to sit beside him,
00:47:29leaning softly against his arm.
00:47:32I'm fine, Brother Sebastian.
00:47:34The Elder stood up for us
00:47:35and Jack apologized.
00:47:37I stepped in front of Sebastian,
00:47:39my expression earnest and searching,
00:47:42unable to hold back the questions
00:47:43weighing on my mind any longer.
00:47:47Sebastian, I need to ask you something.
00:47:49Today at the training camp,
00:47:50the Elder called me like on Queen
00:47:52and said someone has been
00:47:52guarding me secretly.
00:47:54Do you know what this is all about?
00:47:55And you?
00:47:56What is your true identity?
00:47:57You've always hidden the truth
00:47:58from me on purpose.
00:48:00Sebastian's fingers stilled.
00:48:01He lifted his eyes to meet mine,
00:48:02his gaze flickering
00:48:03as he deliberately avoided
00:48:04my direct stare.
00:48:07Bella, some things aren't meant
00:48:08to be told yet.
00:48:10I can promise you this.
00:48:12I will never harm you or Ellie
00:48:14and I will always protect you.
00:48:16All you need to do is trust me.
00:48:18I watched him evade my gaze,
00:48:20my confusion deepening by the second.
00:48:22A quiet hurt settled in my heart.
00:48:24The Elder wouldn't speak
00:48:25and Sebastian chose to hide the truth too.
00:48:27It felt as if everyone held secrets about me,
00:48:30leaving me in the dark like a fool.
00:48:32I fell silent for a moment,
00:48:34my hand unconsciously drifting to my stomach,
00:48:36where a tiny life was growing,
00:48:38the only thing I clung to now.
00:48:40I lifted my eyes to him,
00:48:42my expression solemn.
00:48:44Sebastian, I'm pregnant.
00:48:46Sebastian froze visibly.
00:48:48He set down the herb slowly,
00:48:50a faint soft smile crossing his face,
00:48:52the corners of his mouth lifting.
00:48:55He was clearly happy.
00:48:57Yet his joy was far too restrained,
00:48:59too calm.
00:49:01There was none of the wild delight I'd hoped for.
00:49:03No flurry of worried questions,
00:49:05no tender touch.
00:49:07The glimmer of joy in his eyes faded almost at once,
00:49:10settling back into his usual quiet reserve.
00:49:14My heart sank heavily in that instant.
00:49:17Disappointment and uneases washed over me
00:49:19like a cold tide,
00:49:20swallowing me whole.
00:49:22I couldn't help but wonder,
00:49:24did he not want this pup at all?
00:49:26Was I and the life inside me
00:49:28nothing more than a burden to him?
00:49:30I thought of being sold by my own father,
00:49:32abandoned by Evan.
00:49:33Of all the uncertainty I'd endured,
00:49:36my unease grew stronger
00:49:37until my fingers began to tremble faintly.
00:49:39I dared not look Sebastian in the eye,
00:49:42afraid of catching even a trace of distaste
00:49:44or impatience in his expression.
00:49:45I pushed down the ache and hurt in my chest,
00:49:48forcing a faint calm smile and nodding.
00:49:50I understand.
00:49:52You don't have to feel pressured.
00:49:54Night fell and silence settled over everything.
00:49:56Moonlight spilled through the window onto the floor.
00:49:58I sat alone on the edge of the bed,
00:50:00gently resting a hand over my stomach.
00:50:02The weight of disappointment and unease grew heavier.
00:50:05More and more,
00:50:06I felt as though both I and my pup
00:50:08were nothing but a burden to Sebastian.
00:50:10Staying here would only be an annoyance,
00:50:12only wear him down further.
00:50:13Better to leave now.
00:50:15Go somewhere no one knows me.
00:50:17Give birth quietly.
00:50:19Raise my pup alone.
00:50:21And never be a chain holding anyone back again.
00:50:24With my mind made up,
00:50:25I rose quietly,
00:50:27moving without a sound.
00:50:28I opened my luggage and began packing silently.
00:50:30A few simple clothes,
00:50:31the wolf tooth pendant Sebastian had given me Lungo to ward off danger.
00:50:35Some dried rations I'd saved.
00:50:37I folded everything carefully into a small bundle.
00:50:39Once packed,
00:50:40I walked to Ella's bedside
00:50:41and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead,
00:50:43my heart heavy with sorrow yet firm with resolve.
00:50:46Ella, I'm sorry.
00:50:47Sister can't stay with you anymore.
00:50:49Stay safe with brother Sebastian and getting hurt the way I did.
00:50:52I wiped the tears from my eyes,
00:50:53slung the bundle over my shoulder,
00:50:55and closed the door softly.
00:50:57Under the cover of deep night,
00:50:59I stepped slowly out of Sebastian's home.
00:51:04I walked into the dark forest with my bundle.
00:51:07I'd barely taken a few steps
00:51:08when hurried footsteps sounded behind me.
00:51:10A shadow darted forward in pursuit,
00:51:12and his familiar scent wrapped around me in an instant.
00:51:15It was Sebastian.
00:51:16Bella, where are you going?
00:51:18It's the middle of the night,
00:51:19carrying a bundle.
00:51:21Are you leaving me?
00:51:22I pulled my hand away sharply,
00:51:24my eyes red-brimmed,
00:51:25tone stubborn and hurt,
00:51:27forcing myself to sound cold.
00:51:30Where I go is none of your business.
00:51:34Sebastian,
00:51:36don't trouble yourself over me,
00:51:38and don't feel ob-gayed.
00:51:40How can it not be my business?
00:51:42Bella, you are my mate.
00:51:45The pup you carry is my flesh and blood.
00:51:47Wherever you go,
00:51:49I go.
00:51:50How can you say this has nothing to do with me?
00:51:52His words shattered every wall I've put up.
00:51:55Long-suppressed grief and hurt burst free.
00:51:57I pound against his chest,
00:51:59struggling to break away.
00:52:00Mate?
00:52:00Do you still remember I'm your mate?
00:52:03Sebastian, look at yourself.
00:52:05I told you I was pregnant,
00:52:06and this is how you react.
00:52:07No joy,
00:52:08no concern,
00:52:09not a single sincere word of care.
00:52:11You don't care about this pup at all,
00:52:13and you've never truly cared about me.
00:52:14I stopped struggling and stared straight into his eyes,
00:52:17tears streaming down my cheeks,
00:52:19my tone laced with self-mockery and despair,
00:52:21every word cutting deep into us both.
00:52:24You were just a buyer at the black market,
00:52:25and I was nothing more than a slave you purchased.
00:52:29Your kindness,
00:52:30your gentleness,
00:52:31only fleeting interest,
00:52:33only because I still have use to you.
00:52:35Isn't that the truth?
00:52:37You've never truly cared about me.
00:52:39Sebastian stuffened completely,
00:52:41holding me tighter.
00:52:42He gripped my shoulders,
00:52:44forcing me to meet his glaze.
00:52:46Bella, don't say that.
00:52:47I have never seen you as a slave,
00:52:50not for a single moment.
00:52:51I bought you for a reason.
00:52:54The forest seemed to darken all at once.
00:52:57A blood-red moon rose slowly over the horizon,
00:53:01its crimson glow spilling across the entire woods.
00:53:04Sebastian lifted his head
00:53:05and stared quietly at the blood moon,
00:53:07his expression solemn and grave.
00:53:10The wolf clan has an ancient fate law.
00:53:12Only when the blood moon rises
00:53:14will the royal seal be fully broken.
00:53:16No more need for pretense,
00:53:18no more hiding.
00:53:19The time has finally come.
00:53:21I stared at the eerie crimson moon,
00:53:24my heart tightening inexplicably,
00:53:26lost and stunned,
00:53:28waiting for him to go on.
00:53:30I was never an ordinary low-rank werewolf.
00:53:33I am the rightful heir to the Lycan throne.
00:53:37My elder brother plotted against me in secret to seize power.
00:53:40To survive, I had to hide my royal identity,
00:53:43suppress my true strength,
00:53:45lie low and bide my time,
00:53:47evading my enemies while gathering power
00:53:49to take back what was mine.
00:53:51His tone softened,
00:53:52laced with gentle remembrance.
00:53:54I've known you for a very long time.
00:53:56Years ago, on the frozen ice plains,
00:53:58I saw you ignoring the bitter cold
00:54:00to feed stray wolf pups gently.
00:54:02In that moment, I was already drawn to you.
00:54:03I've watched over you silently ever since,
00:54:05following every twist of your fate.
00:54:07His voice turned tender with sorrow
00:54:08as he spoke of the past.
00:54:10When I learned Evan had cast you aside cruelly,
00:54:13and your own father sold you off
00:54:15like nothing more than a breeder,
00:54:16I acted at once and bought you from Marcus.
00:54:19This was never a cold transaction.
00:54:21It was protection I planned long ago.
00:54:24A chance to save you.
00:54:27Sebastian let out a quiet sigh,
00:54:29his eyes filled with lingering helplessness and restraint.
00:54:32I kept my distance and acted cold towards you before
00:54:34because I'd long sensed you are a born pure-blood Luna.
00:54:36Back then I was trapped in royal turmoil,
00:54:38surrounded by enemies,
00:54:39barely able to protect myself.
00:54:40I feared dragging you into danger,
00:54:42and I refused to let someone as noble and pure as you
00:54:45stay hidden beside a fallen, disguised me.
00:54:47He lifted his gaze to the blood moon
00:54:49hanging high in the sky,
00:54:51his aura steady and regal,
00:54:53his expression calm with certainty.
00:54:55Now the blood moon has risen.
00:54:56Fate has fallen into place.
00:54:58I have crushed my brother's schemes,
00:54:59quelled the internal turtle,
00:55:00and reclaimed my rightful throne at last.
00:55:01I have officially ascended as the new Lycan king.
00:55:03He reached out and took my hand gently,
00:55:06his palm warm and firm,
00:55:08his gaze locked steadily on mine,
00:55:10sincere and earnest.
00:55:11Isabella, of course I care about our child.
00:55:13I have cared all along.
00:55:14I've waited far too long for this day.
00:55:16Once I could only guard you from the shadows.
00:55:17Now I hold the throne,
00:55:18and I have the power to shield you and our pup
00:55:19for a lifetime in peace.
00:55:20I wish to mark you properly,
00:55:22claim you as my one and only mate,
00:55:23and crown you queen of the Lycan clan.
00:55:24From this day forward,
00:55:25no one will ever dare hurt you again.
00:55:26I stared at the raw, unhovered affection
00:55:28and resolve in his eyes.
00:55:29All the grief, unease,
00:55:30and doubt I'd carried these days
00:55:32melted away in an instant.
00:55:33Emotion welled up inside me,
00:55:34and warm tears slipped slowly down my cheeks.
00:55:36I looked at him and nodded softly,
00:55:38knowing he meant to mark me for life.
00:55:41Night hung thick and dark.
00:55:43A blood-red moon hung high over the sky,
00:55:45bathing the entire forest in a faint crimson glow.
00:55:47Isabella waited eagerly for Sebastian to claim her mark,
00:55:50her eyes sparkling with quiet excitement and anticipation.
00:55:53Are you ready?
00:55:53This mark will bind you to me completely as my mate,
00:55:56and awaken the full strength of your pure-blood Luna lineage.
00:55:58Yes.
00:55:59Sebastian rested his hands gently on Isabella's shoulders,
00:56:02and pressed his warm lips to hers to leave his mark.
00:56:05There was a faint twinge of pain,
00:56:07yet Isabella did not flinch for a moment.
00:56:09Her gaze filled only with longing.
00:56:11The instant the mark settled Bastion's royal time
00:56:13with Isabella's pure-blood Luna energy,
00:56:15golden light swirled around them both,
00:56:17her golden irises blazing brighter than ever,
00:56:20as her ancient pure-blood era fully awakened within her.
00:56:24From this day on,
00:56:25I will never let anyone hurt you,
00:56:27never let you shed another tear.
00:56:28This mark is my vow to you.
00:56:31I trust you.
00:56:34Hidden in the shadows,
00:56:36Selina watched every moment unfold.
00:56:38She stared at their joined hands,
00:56:39consumed by bitter resentment.
00:56:41A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.
00:56:43She quietly pulled out her communicator,
00:56:45and reached out to Sebastian's elder brother William.
00:56:47Why should they have everything?
00:56:48I will take back what belongs to me,
00:56:50and make them pay for standing in my way.
00:56:52Sebastian looked down at Isabella beside him,
00:56:55brushing the soft smile from her lips with tender reverence.
00:56:58He knew he no longer needed to hide his identity.
00:57:00At last, he could protect her openly,
00:57:03without fear or pretense.
00:57:04I will protect you,
00:57:05protect our child,
00:57:06and cherish every part of who you are.
00:57:08No one will ever make you suffer again.
00:57:12Sebastian began preparing for the Lycan royal coronation ceremony.
00:57:15On that day,
00:57:16he would publicly reveal his true identity as the rightful royal heir,
00:57:19be officially crowned Lycan king,
00:57:20and formally proclaim Isabella the legitimate Lycan queen,
00:57:23honored and revered by all werewolf claims.
00:57:26Meanwhile,
00:57:27life grew increasingly bleak for Evan's blood moon pack.
00:57:29Stripped of Isabella's luna protection barrier,
00:57:32rogue packs began raiding their borders relentlessly.
00:57:34Casualties mounted,
00:57:35their territory fell into ruin,
00:57:37and the entire clan twatered on the brink of collapse.
00:57:39Evan,
00:57:40if we carry on like this,
00:57:42the rogues will swallow our pack entirely.
00:57:45The new Lycan king's coronation is soon,
00:57:47and word spreads his power is unfathomable.
00:57:51If we can gain his favor,
00:57:53we'll never fear the rogues again.
00:57:54You weren't sent an invitation.
00:57:55This king has always lived in secrecy,
00:57:57cold and unpredictable.
00:57:58If we sneak in disguise and get caught,
00:58:00we'll only humiliate ourselves.
00:58:01Do we still care about pride?
00:58:02Saving our pack is all that matters.
00:58:04We'll dress common minor clan guests and blend into the crowd.
00:58:06Once we reach the royal desk,
00:58:08we'll find a chance to enratiate our son.
00:58:10Evan stared at his ravaged territory and his fading clan members.
00:58:13Overcome by desperation and ambition,
00:58:15he finally agreed to sneak into the coronation beside Martha,
00:58:17set on curing favor with the new Lycan king to secure his pack's survival.
00:58:21Upon hearing news of the ceremony,
00:58:22Selina chose not to go with Evan and Martha.
00:58:25She waited alone for William,
00:58:27Sebastian's elder brother,
00:58:29whom she had secretly allied with.
00:58:31Sebastian thinks he can claim the throne and reign in peace.
00:58:36William has already promised me he will seize power at the coronation.
00:58:40Once William overtows Sebastian and takes the crown,
00:58:43I will be his one and only queen,
00:58:47the true Lycan queen.
00:58:49I'll never again live in Isabella's shadow.
00:58:52She drowned herself in ambitious fantasies,
00:58:55waiting foolishly for William to appear,
00:58:57completely unaware she was nothing more than a pawn he had long been using.
00:59:02The Lycan holy mountain blazed with coronation splendor.
00:59:06Golden light spilled over the peaks.
00:59:07Royal guards standing tall with imposing presence.
00:59:10Powerful werewolf leaders from every clan filed in to take their seats.
00:59:14The entire sacred grounds steeped in solemn grandeur.
00:59:16Evan and Martha dressed in plain outsider robes,
00:59:18blending silently into the guest crowd and slipping into the ceremony grounds.
00:59:22They gazed up at the luxurious royal days,
00:59:24watching the dignified clan leaders around them.
00:59:26Envy clear in their eyes.
00:59:27Both resolved to seize any chance to win the new Lycan king's favor and save their family.
00:59:31Their gaze drifted casually across the gathering,
00:59:34and they froze instantly.
00:59:35Spotting Isabella and Sebastian standing side by side,
00:59:37disdain and contempt settled over their faces at once.
00:59:41Look!
00:59:42Is that Isabella?
00:59:43How dare she intrude on a royal coronation?
00:59:46They exchanged a glance,
00:59:47both looking down on the pair.
00:59:49Evan's tone turned sharp with quiet mockery.
00:59:51And beside her,
00:59:53that's the rough, low-class werewolf who bought her at the black market.
00:59:56A nobody with no standing.
00:59:58How dare he set foot on sacred Lycan royal grounds?
01:00:02Echoing his squirm,
01:00:03Her disgust deepened out.
01:00:04They have no sense of their place.
01:00:06Both are outcasts unfit for high society,
01:00:09only here to leech off prestige and cling to power.
01:00:12They clearly snuck in uninvited with no status or lineage.
01:00:14Once the true Lyman king arrives,
01:00:16guards will drive them out publicly,
01:00:17and they'll be the laughingstock of everyone present.
01:00:21Evan and Martha stepped forward abruptly,
01:00:24blocking Isabella and Sebastian's path,
01:00:25their manner arrogant and their words cutting.
01:00:28Isabella,
01:00:28you exiled, golden-eyed freak!
01:00:30How dare you sneak into a royal coronation,
01:00:33parading around with this low-class werewolf?
01:00:35You have no shame at all.
01:00:37Sebastian, I still remember your ragged state at the black market.
01:00:40A nobody like you has no right to stand on sacred ground.
01:00:43Take her and leave before you embarrass yourselves further.
01:00:46Whether we belong here is none of your concern.
01:00:48You two snuck in without invitations,
01:00:50yet you still dare to act high and mighty?
01:00:52Sebastian drew Isabella gently to his side,
01:00:54adopting a humble, meek demeanor,
01:00:56his tone soft and unassuming.
01:00:58Alpha Evan, Lady Martha,
01:00:59we only came to watch the ceremony.
01:01:01We mean no trouble,
01:01:02and we'll take our leave at once.
01:01:04Seeing Sebastian's apparent weakness
01:01:06emboldened Martha further.
01:01:07She stepped forward sharply,
01:01:09her tone growing harsher still.
01:01:10Leave is not enough!
01:01:12A low-class werewolf trespassing on royal sacred ground,
01:01:15you will apologize to us for...
01:01:18Exactly.
01:01:19Beg forgiveness and get out.
01:01:22When the Lion King arrives,
01:01:24he'll strip your wolf power and shame you publicly.
01:01:26A flicker of cold calm passed through Sebastian's eyes,
01:01:28though his tone remained mild,
01:01:30edged with quiet certainty.
01:01:31Is that so?
01:01:31Then let us wait and see who ends up embarrassed before everyone.
01:01:34Isabella lifted her gaze,
01:01:35a faint glimmer shining in her golden eyes.
01:01:37She played along with Sebastian's act,
01:01:39looking wronged yet forcing herself to stay complete.
01:01:41You carry yourselves so arrogantly.
01:01:43Do you not fear angering the Lichen King?
01:01:46Martha scoffed openly,
01:01:47utterly dismiss it of their words.
01:01:49Anger the King?
01:01:50The only ones embarrassing themselves here are you two.
01:01:54The King will punish you, not us.
01:01:58Their taunt stung sharp and loud in my ears.
01:02:01I had no wish to waste time on these petty troublemakers,
01:02:03only wanting to turn away and let the ceremony proceed undisturbed.
01:02:07Pay them no mind.
01:02:08The real show is about to begin.
01:02:10I nodded and turned to leave with him.
01:02:12But Evan took my silence as defeat,
01:02:14stepping forward to block our path,
01:02:16wearing a mocking, triumphant smirk.
01:02:18Cat got your tongue?
01:02:19Can't argue back, so you try to run?
01:02:21I knew it.
01:02:23You're both small-minded nobodies,
01:02:25unfit to stand against us.
01:02:26Run won't save you.
01:02:28Apologize here today,
01:02:29or everyone will see the two of you brought low and humiliated.
01:02:35I frowned, ready to speak,
01:02:36when solemn ceremonial horns echoed across the grounds.
01:02:39A hush fell instantly,
01:02:40every gaze turning towards the high das.
01:02:41The host's voice boomed across the holy mountain,
01:02:43clear and authoritative through spiritual resonance.
01:02:45The auspicious hour has come.
01:02:47The Lycan king's coronation ceremony begins.
01:02:51All rise for the rightful Lycan royal heir,
01:02:54Lord Sebastian,
01:02:55and his fated mate,
01:02:57Lady Isabella,
01:02:58to ascend the royal daze.
01:03:02Golden light burst across the sky.
01:03:10I, Sebastian,
01:03:11rightful heir to the Lycan throne,
01:03:13have quelled my brother's rebellion
01:03:14and reclaimed my royal birthright.
01:03:16Today, I ascend officially as Lion King
01:03:18and proclaim Isabella my sole Lion Queen.
01:03:21May all clans honor our rule
01:03:23and find peace under our protection.
01:03:25This was my mate.
01:03:27The one destined to walk beside me for all time.
01:03:30In the next instant,
01:03:31two sharp,
01:03:32disbelieving voices
01:03:33shattered the ceremony's solemnity.
01:03:36Impossible!
01:03:37It cannot be!
01:03:38How can you be the Lycan king?
01:03:39You are nothing but a ragged nobody
01:03:40from the black market.
01:03:41You're pretending to claim the throne.
01:03:43Yes, you're an imposter!
01:03:44A low-class werewolf
01:03:45could never be Lycan royal heir!
01:03:47You've tricked everyone
01:03:47with some underhanded scheme.
01:03:49The true lord king
01:03:50could never be someone like you!
01:03:51They shouted hysterically,
01:03:52as if their refusal alone
01:03:54could undo reality.
01:03:55I watched their frantic display
01:03:57with complete indifference.
01:03:58It was utterly ridiculous now.
01:04:00The nobody they mocked
01:04:01was now the king.
01:04:02The outcasts they humiliated,
01:04:05now their queen.
01:04:09Insolent fools!
01:04:11To speak treason
01:04:12at the Lycan king's coronation.
01:04:14To deny royal lineage
01:04:17and dishonor the crown,
01:04:19you court your own doom.
01:04:21Guards, seize them!
01:04:23These two trespassed
01:04:24uninvited on sacred ceremony grounds,
01:04:26insulted the king and queen,
01:04:27and flouted royal decree.
01:04:28By order of the crown,
01:04:29strip three-tenths
01:04:30of their wolf power,
01:04:31expel them from the holy mountain,
01:04:33and ban them permanently
01:04:33from all Lycan territory.
01:04:35Any who defy this ruling
01:04:36shall be put to death
01:04:37without hesitation.
01:04:41He hated his own blindness
01:04:42and pride,
01:04:44mocking the true lion king
01:04:45and now reaping the ruin
01:04:47he had sown.
01:04:48Your majesty King Sebastian,
01:04:49I beg forgiveness.
01:04:50I dare not doubt you again,
01:04:51I swear it.
01:04:52Your grace,
01:04:53Queen Isabella,
01:04:53please show mercy.
01:04:55We will never insult you again,
01:04:57never trespass on royal ceremony grounds.
01:04:59Spare us this once.
01:05:00You mock freely when you hold pride,
01:05:02yet beg for mercy and ruin.
01:05:03Your arrogance and ignorance
01:05:05deserve no forgiveness from me.
01:05:06They had brought this upon themselves,
01:05:08casting me aside,
01:05:09humiliating me,
01:05:10looking down on others,
01:05:11and now they face the consequences.
01:05:12They left an utter disgrace,
01:05:14their pride shattered beyond repair.
01:05:19Selene alone beneath the shade of a tree,
01:05:22she clutched her communicator tightly.
01:05:25Why hasn't William come?
01:05:26He swore he would overthrow Sebastian
01:05:28at the coronation.
01:05:29Once he takes the crown,
01:05:31he'll make me
01:05:31lion queen.
01:05:33He wouldn't lie to me.
01:05:34The lion was dead,
01:05:36completely.
01:05:37No,
01:05:38this can't be.
01:05:39He wouldn't deceive me.
01:05:40He must have been stopped
01:05:41by Sebastian's guards,
01:05:43caught in trouble somehow.
01:05:44William!
01:05:45William!
01:05:47William!
01:05:53Selene,
01:05:53you are foolish and greedy indeed.
01:05:55Did you truly believe
01:05:56I would risk everything for the throne
01:05:58or crown you queen?
01:05:59I only used you to drain your wealth
01:06:01and resources for my own gain.
01:06:02At last the truth crashed over her.
01:06:04This had never been anything
01:06:06but a carefully laid trap.
01:06:08Please,
01:06:09my wealth,
01:06:10my crown,
01:06:11everything is gone.
01:06:12He lied to me.
01:06:13He truly lied to me.
01:06:17Word soon spread
01:06:18of Selene's secret alliance
01:06:20with William.
01:06:21She was branded
01:06:22an enemy of the lion crown,
01:06:25blacklisted across
01:06:25all werewolf lands.
01:06:27Foolish woman,
01:06:28not only were you deceived,
01:06:29you dragged my pack
01:06:30into ruin.
01:06:31Do not show yourself
01:06:32to me again.
01:06:33We are finished.
01:06:34Evan,
01:06:35please help me.
01:06:36I know I was wrong.
01:06:37I only wanted a better life.
01:06:38Clean up the mess
01:06:39you made alone.
01:06:40Someone like you
01:06:40is not worthy
01:06:41of standing beside me.
01:06:46penniless and without allies,
01:06:48she became a public joke
01:06:50among the werewolf clans.
01:06:52She spent her days
01:06:54adrift in loneliness
01:06:55and regret.
01:06:56Evan was stripped
01:06:57of part of his wolf power.
01:06:58His former alpha dominance
01:07:00faded away entirely.
01:07:01I let vanity blind me
01:07:03and looked down
01:07:04on Sebastian
01:07:05out of pride.
01:07:06This ruin
01:07:07is entirely my own fault.
01:07:08If only I hadn't urged
01:07:09you to seek favor,
01:07:10if only I hadn't angered
01:07:11the royal family,
01:07:13what will become
01:07:13of us now?
01:07:14There is nothing
01:07:15we can do.
01:07:16Our pack fades.
01:07:17We are powerless
01:07:18to protect it.
01:07:18We can only leave
01:07:19our fate to time.
01:07:20The old glory
01:07:21of the blood moon pack
01:07:22faded into memory.
01:07:24The clan declined
01:07:26steadily into obscurity,
01:07:28struggling merely
01:07:29to survive.
01:07:33All external conflicts
01:07:35faded away
01:07:36and the last traces
01:07:37of royal rebellion
01:07:38were couldn't quelled
01:07:39completely.
01:07:40Peace settled
01:07:42over every corner
01:07:43of werewolf territory.
01:07:46Sebastian ruled
01:07:47the Lycan throne steadily,
01:07:48managing clan affairs
01:07:50with calm order,
01:07:51leaving no room
01:07:52for further chaos.
01:07:54With Pup now growing
01:07:56inside me,
01:07:57I rested quietly
01:07:58in the Lyman royal mansion.
01:08:00Sebastian set aside
01:08:01many official duties
01:08:02to stay by my side,
01:08:04tending to my every need
01:08:05with gentle,
01:08:05careful devotion.
01:08:07You don't have to stay
01:08:08by my side every moment.
01:08:09Royal affairs keep you busy.
01:08:11Don't let me hold you back.
01:08:13The throne matters,
01:08:15but you and the pup
01:08:16you carry
01:08:16matter most in my life.
01:08:18The elders contend
01:08:20to all trivial matters.
01:08:21Ella also remained
01:08:22safely within the royal household,
01:08:24staying close
01:08:24to keep me company
01:08:25and looking after
01:08:26my daily needs
01:08:27with heartfelt care.
01:08:28Rest easy
01:08:29and focus on your pregnancy, Luna.
01:08:31I'll stay right here with you
01:08:32so you have nothing
01:08:33to worry about.
01:08:36Sebastian tangled
01:08:37his fingers with mine,
01:08:39his eyes soft.
01:08:42Ella smiled quietly
01:08:43beside us.
01:08:44Sunlight spilled
01:08:45through the window,
01:08:46warm and calm,
01:08:48over all three of us.
