The Alpha's Dead Luna Full EP

Transcript

00:00:00Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies.

00:00:04My Alpha Cain had an affair with his mistress Beta the day before our mating ceremony.

00:00:09He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing, unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive

00:00:17every betrayal he uttered.

00:00:20Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.

00:00:26In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.

00:00:30The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too

00:00:35long.

00:00:36Good.

00:00:36My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.

00:00:41Rest assured, no one will question it. We'll simulate a death by silver. No wolf survives that kind of damage.

00:00:50Only then, did I let out a slow breath. After confirming the remaining details, I hung up and pushed open

00:00:58the door to the private room.

00:01:00The noise inside died the instant I stepped in. Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to

00:01:07me. The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Cain.

00:01:12Cain, seated at the center, rose immediately. His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern. His

00:01:22voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.

00:01:24My little wolf, where did you go? He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his

00:01:34gaze, and forced down the bitterness rising in my chest. I shook my head.

00:01:40I'm fine. Let's just keep going.

00:01:43Still holding my hand, Cain led me back to my seat. The room gradually came back to life, until someone

00:01:50spoke up.

00:01:52Cain, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond. So what are you planning to do

00:01:57with your little beta pet?

00:01:58My nails dug into my palm. Being the useless one who couldn't shift. I'd long since gotten used to names

00:02:06like that. But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Cain.

00:02:15Someone beside the speaker nudged him.

00:02:18Hey, watch it. Your Luna's right here.

00:02:21He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.

00:02:24What's the problem? It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway. I'm just curious how Cain

00:02:32plans to deal with his little bitch.

00:02:34All eyes turned to Cain. A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.

00:02:40I'll keep her.

00:02:42He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.

00:02:47She's just a pet I keep around. My only mate is Aria.

00:02:52He smirked faintly.

00:02:54But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run. So I've kept it well hidden.

00:03:00Even after the mate bond, I won't let her find out.

00:03:05His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.

00:03:10Watch your mouths. If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.

00:03:16These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked them. If anything, they sounded amused.

00:03:25Cain's got it bad. Can't even let his little toy get exposed. Well, she can't shift. Figures she'd be fragile.

00:03:33Someone's eyes lit up, curiosity getting the better of him.

00:03:37Cain, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at home?

00:03:47Cain chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.

00:03:51Of course. It's been wild.

00:03:56The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.

00:04:00Cain really knows how to play!

00:04:04A useless one like that? Easy to fool.

00:04:08Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.

00:04:13Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.

00:04:19Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.

00:04:23No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.

00:04:27My knuckles had gone white.

00:04:29No one knew.

00:04:30Three days ago, I had my awakening.

00:04:36And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.

00:04:39I would never complete a mate bond with Cain.

00:04:43On the day of the ceremony,

00:04:45the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.

00:04:49A fake one.

00:04:51Cain glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.

00:04:56My little wolf, why aren't you eating?

00:04:59I looked at him.

00:05:01At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern

00:05:05and forced a faint smile.

00:05:08What were you all talking about that got you so excited?

00:05:12Cain smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.

00:05:17They were just saying they envy, envy our bond.

00:05:20That will be the most devoted pair there is.

00:05:24Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.

00:05:28I caught every single one of them.

00:05:30The mockery.

00:05:31The cruelty.

00:05:32It burned.

00:05:35My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver.

00:05:39The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.

00:05:42They had been talking about him and that woman.

00:05:45Yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.

00:05:48Cain, I never realized you could lie so easily.

00:05:53I set my silver fork down and stood.

00:05:56I didn't want to hear another word of it.

00:05:59The moment I moved to leave, Cain was on his feet.

00:06:03A flicker of panic crossing his face.

00:06:06Little wolf, what's wrong?

00:06:08I shook my head.

00:06:10My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.

00:06:15I'm tired.

00:06:17I want to go back to the pack house.

00:06:19I didn't wait for his response.

00:06:21I turned and walked out.

00:06:24Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.

00:06:30A mating display was playing.

00:06:32Aria, be my mate.

00:06:35The words stretched across the center in bold, impossible-to-miss letters.

00:06:41People passing by slowed down.

00:06:44Their voices full of envy.

00:06:48Oh my god, I heard Alpha Cain's girl can't shift, so he rented the biggest screen in the city

00:06:53just so she could clearly see the words, be my mate?

00:06:57That's insanely romantic.

00:07:00He treats that girl so well.

00:07:02After the mate bond, he's going to be the perfect Alpha.

00:07:06I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.

00:07:13A week ago, I would have reacted the same way.

00:07:17I would have believed in Cain's love without question.

00:07:22I was born into a declining pack.

00:07:25From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.

00:07:30Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace.

00:07:33A failure.

00:07:36Cain entered my life under those circumstances.

00:07:39He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.

00:07:44But I had seen this kind of attention before.

00:07:48Cruel games disguised as affection.

00:07:51So I avoided him.

00:07:5399 times he confessed.

00:07:5699 times I turned him down.

00:07:59Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked.

00:08:02He threw himself over me without hesitation.

00:08:06Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move.

00:08:11He held his position, shielding me with his body.

00:08:15When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.

00:08:20And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me, was reach out and gently touch my face.

00:08:28My little wolf, as long as you're safe.

00:08:32That was the moment everything changed.

00:08:34For the first time, I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking everything

00:08:41for.

00:08:42The walls around my heart cracked open for him.

00:08:46The wound from the Silver never fully healed.

00:08:50It left behind a permanent circular scar.

00:08:53Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.

00:08:59For five years, he never wavered.

00:09:03He treated me with the same devotion, the same care.

00:09:06As if I were the only one who mattered.

00:09:11Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.

00:09:18And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real.

00:09:23Something more.

00:09:24I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the mate

00:09:31ritual.

00:09:32If it failed, I would have died.

00:09:35But I survived.

00:09:37Not only that, I gained something rare.

00:09:41Empathic sense.

00:09:42I decided to keep it a secret.

00:09:45I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.

00:09:49But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart.

00:09:53Through that new ability, I sensed him.

00:09:57Kane.

00:09:57Talking to his beta pet.

00:09:59Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.

00:10:05That was when I learned the truth.

00:10:08He had already betrayed our bond.

00:10:10For an entire year.

00:10:12And I had known nothing.

00:10:15A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.

00:10:22His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again.

00:10:26Even with the mate ceremony approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship.

00:10:32Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?

00:10:37The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless.

00:10:42But my mind had never been clearer.

00:10:45I would show Kane the truth.

00:10:47Lies don't last forever.

00:10:50And I would never forgive betrayal.

00:10:53I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest.

00:10:57Just as I was about to head back, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.

00:11:04Kane's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.

00:11:09It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to breathe.

00:11:14Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me?

00:11:16Are you in a bad mood today?

00:11:19Then let me take you to see your mate dress.

00:11:22The custom piece just arrived.

00:11:24He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to the back of my neck, gently stroking the spot

00:11:31where his marking remained.

00:11:35I don't feel like going.

00:11:37Just pick it yourself.

00:11:39I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.

00:11:43There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.

00:11:47Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone.

00:11:50His voice softened, almost cautious.

00:11:53Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?

00:11:59Do you not want to bond with me anymore?

00:12:02I looked at him, at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.

00:12:06I almost told him the truth.

00:12:09Yes, I don't want this anymore.

00:12:12You were the one who betrayed us first.

00:12:15You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.

00:12:17You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.

00:12:22And now you're asking me why?

00:12:25But I wasn't ready to expose everything, not yet.

00:12:30At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside, an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress

00:12:37prepared in advance.

00:12:38Miss, the gown Alpha Kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.

00:12:43Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.

00:12:47The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous.

00:12:51Moonstones were set into the bodice, casting a soft, sacred glow.

00:12:56Kane wrapped an arm around my waist.

00:12:59My little wolf, do you like it?

00:13:02I couldn't deny it.

00:13:04The design was exactly my taste.

00:13:06But no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't mend what had already been broken.

00:13:13Look closer, Kane said softly.

00:13:15At the center of the moonstone.

00:13:17I followed his gaze.

00:13:20Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.

00:13:23A and K, forever.

00:13:26The moon goddess is our witness.

00:13:29My love for you will last forever too.

00:13:32I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart.

00:13:37Then I turned to him, and met his eyes.

00:13:40Eyes filled with something that looked like love.

00:13:45Will your love for me really last forever?

00:13:50A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.

00:13:54I Kane, swear, swear that I will love Arya forever.

00:13:58For my entire life.

00:14:01If I break this oath, may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.

00:14:07Such a solemn vow.

00:14:09And yet, it couldn't warm a heart that had already gone cold.

00:14:14He had already broken it.

00:14:16And still, he kept acting.

00:14:20Didn't he get tired?

00:14:22I turned my face away, unwilling to look at him any longer.

00:14:27Kane seemed about to say something else.

00:14:29But his phone suddenly rang.

00:14:31His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer.

00:14:36When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.

00:14:41Little wolf, something urgent just came up.

00:14:44Go ahead and try the dress.

00:14:45If anything needs adjusting, just tell the staff.

00:14:49He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.

00:14:53I watched his retreating figure, a bitter thought settling in.

00:14:59Kane had never walked away from me for pack business.

00:15:02And just before he left, I had caught it.

00:15:06That flicker in his eyes.

00:15:08Raw, instinctive desire.

00:15:12Work?

00:15:13Hardly.

00:15:14He was going to see her.

00:15:17When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.

00:15:21The slight dip in the mattress.

00:15:24The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla, and lingering scent, thick with unmistakable desire.

00:15:30The thought hit me all at once.

00:15:33Kane and that beta had been here, on this bed.

00:15:38Entwined.

00:15:39My stomach twisted violently.

00:15:41I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop.

00:15:45Kane had just come back.

00:15:47The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.

00:15:52Little wolf, did you eat something bad?

00:15:54I'll call a healer right now.

00:15:58I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red.

00:16:02I'm fine.

00:16:03I just thought of something disgusting.

00:16:07Kane dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.

00:16:14Don't think about things like that.

00:16:16Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.

00:16:20I looked down at him, at the open collar of his shirt,

00:16:24and the marks on his skin.

00:16:27Bite marks, fresh, obvious.

00:16:30Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.

00:16:33How strong did Kane have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body,

00:16:38and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?

00:16:42His voice grew sharper, more agitated.

00:16:46Who did this to you?

00:16:48Who made Maid?

00:16:50My little wolf like this?

00:16:53Tell me.

00:16:54I'll tear them apart.

00:16:56A bitter smile tugged at my lips.

00:17:00Kane, you're the one who did this to me.

00:17:04Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl.

00:17:09Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the Alpha beside me.

00:17:14But the bed was empty.

00:17:17I sat up and went downstairs.

00:17:19As I reached the second floor, I heard it.

00:17:23A woman's breathless voice.

00:17:26Soft, broken.

00:17:28I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest,

00:17:33then walked toward the guest room.

00:17:35The door was wide open.

00:17:37Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.

00:17:43Inside, Kane was bare from the waist up.

00:17:46The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.

00:17:49The long skirt pushed up to her waist.

00:17:52Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.

00:17:55Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck, her voice unsteady.

00:18:00Alpha, the dress I just got today, you already torn it.

00:18:06Kane let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear.

00:18:09His voice rough.

00:18:11You...

00:18:13You wore it for me, didn't you?

00:18:16I even had the designer make one just for you.

00:18:20So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?

00:18:23She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.

00:18:28Alpha, I can't...

00:18:31I can't take ache anymore.

00:18:33Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.

00:18:38What if Aria sees us?

00:18:40Kane stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.

00:18:44She's useless.

00:18:46She doesn't understand anything.

00:18:48Don't you dare tell her about us.

00:18:50The beta traced circles against his chest, her tone soft, almost hurt.

00:18:55I know.

00:18:57I just...

00:18:59She's about to become your mate, and I'll always have to stay hidden.

00:19:04It makes me sad.

00:19:07Kane's expression softened slightly.

00:19:10You jealous little thing.

00:19:12I already brought you into this house.

00:19:14Isn't that enough?

00:19:16Don't worry.

00:19:17Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you.

00:19:20Whatever Aria has, you'll have two.

00:19:24Moonlight, lit up my face, where I stood outside the door.

00:19:28I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.

00:19:34Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades, carving wound after wound

00:19:40into my chest.

00:19:42I turned and ran.

00:19:44Barefoot.

00:19:46Straight out into the rain.

00:19:48Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.

00:19:51I just needed to get away, as far away as possible.

00:19:55Through the haze, I thought I saw him.

00:19:58A younger Kane.

00:20:00The one I had once loved.

00:20:03His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.

00:20:09Little wolf, leave him.

00:20:12Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore, and never forgive him.

00:20:17My vision burned, as I looked at that memory.

00:20:20At the alpha, I had once given my heart to.

00:20:25Okay.

00:20:26I whispered.

00:20:27I will leave you.

00:20:30And I will never forgive you.

00:20:34I didn't make it back until dawn.

00:20:37The moment I lay down, Kane slipped quietly into the room.

00:20:41He moved carefully, just like always, pulling the blanket over me before drawing me into his

00:20:46arms.

00:20:47His lips brushed softly against my forehead.

00:20:50Little wolf, I really do love you.

00:20:54In three days, you'll become my mate.

00:20:58We'll be together forever.

00:21:00I once saw a line online.

00:21:03When an alpha suddenly becomes gentle, it is usually guilt after betrayal.

00:21:09I never understood it before.

00:21:11Now I did.

00:21:13More than anything, I just wanted time to move faster.

00:21:17I wanted the day I left to come sooner.

00:21:19When I woke up, Kane and the beta were already downstairs having breakfast.

00:21:25The moment he saw me, Kane stood and pulled out a chair for me.

00:21:30He watched as I calmly finished my meal.

00:21:33Then guilt flickered across his face.

00:21:38Little wolf, I have to leave for a few days on short notice.

00:21:42For the mate ceremony, just work with the planner.

00:21:44I'll be back as soon as I can.

00:21:47After the ceremony, I'll make it up to you.

00:21:49Wherever you want to go for our honeymoon, I'll take you.

00:21:51I already knew the truth.

00:21:53This wasn't a trip.

00:21:55He was going to take care of her.

00:21:57But I didn't care anymore.

00:22:00I simply nodded.

00:22:02Just before he walked out the door, I called his name one last time.

00:22:07Kane.

00:22:08He paused, then turned back.

00:22:10His expression softening as he reached out to cut my face.

00:22:15Can't bear to see me go, little wolf.

00:22:17It's only a few days.

00:22:19Once we complete the mate bond, you'll see me every day.

00:22:23Kane!

00:22:23From outside, the beta called out to him.

00:22:26Kane leaned in, kissed my cheek, and left in a hurry.

00:22:30I stood there, watching his retreating figure.

00:22:35This was probably the last time I would ever see him.

00:22:40Not long after Kane and the beta left, I received a message from her.

00:22:45Miss Aria, you sensed everything last night, didn't you?

00:22:48I didn't expect you to be this good at holding it in.

00:22:51Kane already promised to spend the next few days with me.

00:22:55Imagine that, your future mate staying with another wolf right before your ceremony.

00:22:59You might be the most pathetic woman in the world.

00:23:03I didn't reply.

00:23:05Instead, I told the servants to gather everything in the villa that belonged to me and pile it in the

00:23:12backyard.

00:23:13Once everything was brought out, I lit a fire.

00:23:17I stood there in silence, watching five years of memories burn away piece by piece.

00:23:24When the last corner turned to ash, so did everything I once felt.

00:23:30There were two days left before I left.

00:23:33Another message came from the beta.

00:23:35This time, it was a photo.

00:23:38A pregnancy test report.

00:23:41Well, looks like I'm really pregnant.

00:23:44Kane's first pup.

00:23:45He's so excited.

00:23:47I still didn't respond.

00:23:49I took out the mate dress and, with my claws, tore it apart piece by piece.

00:23:56This dress, created for me, no longer had any meaning.

00:24:00On the day I was leaving, she sent one last message.

00:24:05Kane is going to complete a mate bond with me.

00:24:08He said he'll give me the same ceremony.

00:24:10He won't let me or the child suffer.

00:24:13Miss Aria, you should know your place and give up the Luna position.

00:24:17Kane doesn't love you anymore.

00:24:20This time, I replied.

00:24:22I hope your dream comes true soon.

00:24:25After that, I pulled up the villa's surveillance footage.

00:24:28It wasn't just once.

00:24:30Kane had brought her back here again and again, chasing excitement.

00:24:35I copied the videos and sent them to the ceremony planner.

00:24:39This is a surprise I prepared for Kane.

00:24:42Make sure it's played-played during the ceremony.

00:24:44Keep it confidential.

00:24:49Once everything was arranged, my phone rang.

00:24:52Kane!

00:24:53There was a trace of apology on his face.

00:24:56Little wolf, things here aren't finished yet.

00:24:59I won't be back until tomorrow morning.

00:25:01Don't worry, I'll make it before the ceremony.

00:25:04I let out a soft laugh.

00:25:06Okay, I've prepared a surprise for you at the ceremony.

00:25:10His eyes lit up with anticipation.

00:25:13My little wolf prepared something for me?

00:25:15I can't wait.

00:25:17Little wolf, I've waited five years for you to become my mate.

00:25:21Tomorrow, when you finally become my Luna, I'm so happy.

00:25:24His voice cut off abruptly.

00:25:27His body stiffened for a split second, and a suppressed breath escaped him.

00:25:33A trace of cold mockery flickered in my eyes.

00:25:36Kane, I hope you like the surprise.

00:25:40I hung up before he could respond and walked out of the villa.

00:25:44The car from the fake death agency was already waiting outside.

00:25:48At the airport, I typed a few final lines on my phone, before handing it to the staff.

00:25:55Tomorrow, deliver this phone along with the body to the Alpha.

00:25:59Tell him I died at 6 in the evening, and that I left him a final message.

00:26:046 o'clock.

00:26:05The exact moment I ended the call.

00:26:08I wanted Kane to believe, that while he was tangled up with that Beta, I had died.

00:26:14That I had chosen death.

00:26:17Those final words I left behind would stay with him forever.

00:26:21A lifetime of guilt he would never escape.

00:26:25The staff member nodded, taking the phone and handing me a new ID and boarding pass.

00:26:30Miss Phoenix.

00:26:32We will erase all surveillance along your route.

00:26:35We wish you a safe journey and a happy life ahead.

00:26:39Phoenix.

00:26:40The name I chose for myself.

00:26:42A symbol of rising from the ashes.

00:26:45Of leaving, everything behind.

00:26:48After today, my life would begin again.

00:26:53At the Beta's house.

00:26:55The woman was still softly begging when Kane finally let her go.

00:27:00He caught her wrist, his voice rough.

00:27:03You're pregnant and still acting like this?

00:27:06She leaned into his chest, her tone sweet and coaxing.

00:27:10I was just worried you might be holding back too much.

00:27:15Kane let out a low chuckle and pinched her cheek.

00:27:20Jealous, aren't you?

00:27:21She huffed and turned her face away.

00:27:24You're completing a mate bond with Aria tomorrow?

00:27:27Am I not allowed to feel anything about that?

00:27:29Kane's expression darkened.

00:27:31He released her hand and looked down at her from above.

00:27:34His voice edged with warning.

00:27:36As long as you don't front send life in my front, I can spoil you however I want.

00:27:41But if you forget your place...

00:27:43Her expression shifted.

00:27:45She hadn't expected that even carrying his pup wouldn't change his tone.

00:27:49But she knew how to read the situation.

00:27:52Alpha, I understand.

00:27:54I never intended to compete with Miss Aria for the Luna position.

00:27:58Kane pulled her back into his arms.

00:28:00Good.

00:28:01Don't overthink it.

00:28:03After the honeymoon, I'll spend a full week with you.

00:28:05And don't worry.

00:28:06Even after the mate bond, I won't neglect you or the child.

00:28:10The next day.

00:28:11The mate ceremony.

00:28:13Kane stood at the center of the stage, dressed impeccably.

00:28:17A white rose in his hand.

00:28:19Below him, guests filled the venue.

00:28:22Cameras from major media outlets broadcasting the event live across the world.

00:28:27At exactly 12 noon, the ceremony began.

00:28:31The music for the Luna's entrance played.

00:28:35Kane's palms were damp with sweat.

00:28:37The song ended.

00:28:39But the doors remained closed.

00:28:42A murmur spread through the crowd.

00:28:45Just as Kane reached for his phone, the host stepped forward.

00:28:49Ladies and gentlemen, and our Alpha, thank you for your patience.

00:28:53Our Luna mentioned yesterday that she prepared a special surprise.

00:28:57So we've added an extra segment to today's ceremony.

00:29:00Kane relaxed slightly.

00:29:02So this was the surprise I had mentioned.

00:29:06Please direct your attention to the main screen.

00:29:09All eyes lifted.

00:29:11Kane smiled faintly, anticipation in his gaze.

00:29:15But the next second, everything changed.

00:29:21On the screen, two bodies were tangled together on a couch.

00:29:26Their movements unmistakable.

00:29:29At first, the guests were confused.

00:29:32Who are they?

00:29:33How dare they disrupt Alpha Kane's ceremony?

00:29:35But Kane recognized it instantly.

00:29:38It was him.

00:29:39And the Beta.

00:29:41Turn it off!

00:29:42Shut it down right now!

00:29:44His roar tore through the hall.

00:29:47The host rushed backstage, trying to stop the video.

00:29:51But the system had frozen.

00:29:52Nothing responded.

00:29:54The footage continued.

00:29:56And then, their faces came clearly into view.

00:30:00The entire venue erupted.

00:30:13Online, the live stream had already drawn nearly 5 million viewers.

00:30:18Comments flooded in.

00:30:20So he's just another Alpha who can't control himself.

00:30:22I can't believe I ever thought he was perfect.

00:30:25Shut down the stream and the screen!

00:30:27Immediately!

00:30:28Kane immediately ordered the stream and screen to be shut down.

00:30:31Then grabbed the microphone.

00:30:33Is allowed to speak of this.

00:30:35Not a word.

00:30:37Someone muttered under their breath.

00:30:40Didn't they say this was Arya's surprise?

00:30:42Maybe she already knew.

00:30:45Kane's face went pale.

00:30:47Well, that was the one possibility he refused to accept.

00:30:51He clung to the belief that I was oblivious.

00:30:54That I never checked the surveillance.

00:30:56That as long as no one said anything, I would never know.

00:31:00But I still hadn't appeared.

00:31:02And now, panic began to take hold.

00:31:06He pulled out his phone and sent a message.

00:31:09Little Wolf, are you here?

00:31:12One minute.

00:31:13Two minutes.

00:31:14No reply.

00:31:15His hands began to sweat as he prepared to call.

00:31:20Then, slowly, the doors to the hall opened.

00:31:25Every head turned.

00:31:29Hope lit up Kane's face.

00:31:31He thought his little wolf had finally arrived.

00:31:34The video had already been dealt with.

00:31:37Holding the bouquet, he stepped forward, ready to welcome his mate.

00:31:43He began to extend his hand.

00:31:45And then he froze.

00:31:48The ones entering were not the woman he had been waiting for.

00:31:52It was a group of staff dressed in black.

00:31:56Behind them, they carried a coffin.

00:31:59Rage ignited in Kane's eyes.

00:32:02One of the staff stepped forward.

00:32:04Sympathy written across his face.

00:32:08Alpha Kane.

00:32:09Your mate took her own life yesterday.

00:32:11Please accept our condolences.

00:32:13Kane didn't believe a word of it.

00:32:16Just yesterday, we had spoken.

00:32:19I had sounded completely fine.

00:32:21How could I be dead?

00:32:23He let out a cold laugh.

00:32:25The video wasn't enough, so now you're making up lies about my mate's death?

00:32:30Tell me, who sent you?

00:32:32The staff member's expression grew even more sympathetic.

00:32:36He gestured toward the coffin.

00:32:39If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself.

00:32:43Kane laughed again, anger sharpening his voice.

00:32:47Fine.

00:32:49Let's see what kind of trick you're trying to pull.

00:32:51He strode toward the coffin.

00:32:53But the moment he looked inside, all the strength drained from his body.

00:32:58Arya.

00:32:59He stumbled forward, dropping to his knees beside the coffin,

00:33:04his hands trembling as he searched for even the slightest difference between the person inside and me.

00:33:10His gaze moved inch by inch.

00:33:13But there was no difference.

00:33:15The woman lying there was me.

00:33:17The same Arya who had been by his side for five years.

00:33:21How could this be?

00:33:23Just yesterday, we had spoken.

00:33:26There had been no sign, no hint that I would choose death.

00:33:32No, this couldn't be real.

00:33:35He clung to denial, telling himself that his little wolf was just angry.

00:33:40That I was upset he hadn't been with me these past few days.

00:33:44That this was some kind of cruel joke.

00:33:46Kane reached out, his hand shaking as he tried to touch my face,

00:33:51as if convincing himself I was only asleep.

00:33:53But little wolf, why is your body so cold?

00:33:57Let me warm you up, okay?

00:33:59Today is our mate ceremony.

00:34:01You wouldn't leave me here alone, would you?

00:34:04By the end, his voice had begun to tremble.

00:34:09A staff member stepped forward and tried to help him up.

00:34:13Alpha Cain, please accept our condolences.

00:34:17This area has passed.

00:34:19That sentence snapped something inside him.

00:34:22He shoved the man away, his eyes bloodshot as he roared.

00:34:27No, Arya isn't dead!

00:34:29She's just asleep!

00:34:31The staff fell silent for a moment before handing him my phone.

00:34:35Alpha Cain, Miss Arya took her own life yesterday at 6 in the evening.

00:34:38When we arrived, she said she left you a final message on her phone.

00:34:41The moment those words registered, Cain's heart lurched.

00:34:45If he remembered correctly, that was exactly when our call had ended.

00:34:50Right after that, he had been with the beta.

00:34:54His face turned even paler.

00:34:56With shaking hands, he unlocked the phone.

00:34:59The moment the screen lit up, he saw the note I had left behind.

00:35:05Cain, when I was 22, you were the one who pulled me out of a barren world.

00:35:10You gave me a kind of love I had never known before.

00:35:14These five years with you have been the happiest time of my life.

00:35:18I just never expected that happiness would end so quickly.

00:35:22In only five years, the man who once held me and promised to love me forever disappeared.

00:35:29For you, half a wink ago, I risked my life to undergo blood awakening.

00:35:33I only wanted to fully feel your emotions during our mate ceremony.

00:35:38But I never imagined that the first thing I would sense after awakening would be your desire intertwined with another

00:35:43beta.

00:35:44These past two weeks, I broke down, I despaired, and in the end, everything went quiet.

00:35:51I understand now.

00:35:53There is no such thing as forever.

00:35:58Thank you for once being part of my life.

00:36:01But in the next life, no, in any life, I never want to meet you again.

00:36:07By the third line, Cain had already lost control.

00:36:11He had never cried in front of anyone.

00:36:14Now, tears fell uncontrollably onto the screen.

00:36:19His face drained of all color.

00:36:22His body swayed, unsteady, before his legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees.

00:36:29Only now did he understand.

00:36:31I had awakened long ago.

00:36:33I had known everything.

00:36:36Fragments of the past two weeks flooded his mind.

00:36:39The gathering where his friends joked about him and the beta.

00:36:43The nights he brought her home.

00:36:46The way he left me before the ceremony, just to be with her.

00:36:50Even that call.

00:36:51When he let the beta interrupt without a second thought.

00:36:56The more he remembered, the sharper the pain in his chest became, until he could barely breathe.

00:37:02What had he done?

00:37:03I had risked my life, for blood awakening.

00:37:06And he had taken advantage of what he believed was my weakness.

00:37:10Indulging himself without restraint.

00:37:12He couldn't even begin to imagine it.

00:37:15I had returned home.

00:37:17Heart full of anticipation, after awakening.

00:37:21Only to be met with the overwhelming sensation of his desire tangled with someone else's.

00:37:27The despair.

00:37:28The collapse.

00:37:30It must have shattered me.

00:37:32Endless pain spread through him.

00:37:35Suffocating.

00:37:36Inescapable.

00:37:37That day, when he heard me say I was leaving, it hadn't been about a friend.

00:37:43It had been about me.

00:37:45The signs had always been there.

00:37:48My death hadn't come out of nowhere.

00:37:50He had simply never seen it.

00:37:53In a daze.

00:37:54He thought he saw himself at 22.

00:37:56That younger version of him looked at him with nothing but disappointment.

00:38:01You betrayed Arya.

00:38:03You broke your mate bond.

00:38:06This is your punishment.

00:38:07Arya has left you forever.

00:38:09And the final lines of my message cut deeper than anything else.

00:38:13The little wolf he loved.

00:38:16Never wanted to meet him again.

00:38:20Only then did he realize how deeply I must have been hurt to write those words.

00:38:25And the one responsible for all of it was him.

00:38:28The moment the guests saw the coffin, shock rippled through the entire venue.

00:38:34Then, everything clicked.

00:38:36The delayed entrance.

00:38:38The explosive video.

00:38:41They understood.

00:38:42I had known all along.

00:38:44The video had been my doing.

00:38:47The coffin, delivered to the ceremony after my death, had been my final arrangement.

00:38:54A heavy silence settled over the crowd, followed by quiet sighs.

00:38:59One by one, the guests who had arrived in celebration began to leave, shaking their heads.

00:39:06In the end, only Cain remained.

00:39:09Kneeling in front of the coffin.

00:39:11At the burial, Cain stood off to the side like a man hollowed out, his expression numb,

00:39:17his soul already broken.

00:39:18Only when the coffin was about to be sealed beneath the earth did he suddenly snap back

00:39:24to himself.

00:39:25He lunged forward, eyes bloodshot, refusing to let anyone touch it.

00:39:30It took several people working together to drag him back and hold him in place.

00:39:36When the final shovel full of dirt fell, all that remained for him was a gravestone.

00:39:41And the black and white photograph of my smiling face.

00:39:45He broke free from their grip, dropped heavily to his knees, and leaned his forehead against

00:39:51the stone.

00:39:52His hand traced my name as tears slid endlessly down his face.

00:39:57Little wolf, this is all my fault, I'm sorry.

00:40:01But apologies that come too late never reached the one who needed them.

00:40:06Cain returned home like a walking corpse.

00:40:09There was no life left in his face.

00:40:11The moment he pushed open the door, he froze.

00:40:16It had only been three days.

00:40:19Yet the entire house felt unbearably cold.

00:40:23After we got together, I had always liked adding small things to the house, little decorations,

00:40:30soft touches, warm details that slowly turned that cold villa into something that felt like

00:40:36home.

00:40:36Now, there was nothing.

00:40:39Everything was gone.

00:40:41The house had reverted to what it had been five years ago.

00:40:47Cold, empty, lifeless.

00:40:50Cain stood there, staring at the unfamiliar familiarity of it all, on the verge of losing his mind.

00:40:58He summoned all the servants, his voice sharp with anger.

00:41:02Who threw away Arya's things?

00:41:04I never gave that order.

00:41:06Who dared to do it?

00:41:07The servants exchanged uneasy glances.

00:41:10Sir,

00:41:12Miss Arya told us to clear everything out three days ago.

00:41:17She had us pile it all in the backyard.

00:41:19Then she set it on fire herself.

00:41:23The last trace of light drained from Cain's eyes.

00:41:26At that moment, one of the servants stepped forward hesitantly and opened her palm.

00:41:32Sir, I found this while cleaning a few days ago.

00:41:35It looked valuable.

00:41:37Maybe Miss Arya threw it away by accident.

00:41:40Another servant approached, holding a bundle of white fabric strips.

00:41:45Sir, this was left in the house yesterday.

00:41:47It looked like a mate dress.

00:41:49There was a moonstone in the center, so I didn't dare throw it away.

00:41:56Cain reached out with trembling hands.

00:41:59In one hand, he picked up the ring.

00:42:02In the other, he touched the torn remains of the dress,

00:42:06his fingers brushing over the moonstone engraved with A and K, forever.

00:42:11The engagement ring he had made himself.

00:42:14The mate dress he had specially commissioned.

00:42:17A sharp, bone-deep pain spread from his chest through his entire body.

00:42:22He might have wondered, deep down,

00:42:23Aria, did you hate me that much?

00:42:30So much that you chose death to punish him?

00:42:34So much that you erased every trace of the happiness we once had?

00:42:38After the pain came something worse.

00:42:41Endless regret.

00:42:42Today was supposed to be the day he had looked forward to more than anything.

00:42:47The day he would finally complete the mate bond with the woman he loved.

00:42:52But he hadn't realized that he had already been standing at the edge of an abyss.

00:42:57And just as he was about to reach happiness, it struck.

00:43:01Dragging him down.

00:43:04Into a darkness with no end.

00:43:06No light.

00:43:08Not even a single trace.

00:43:13Kane drove everyone out of the house.

00:43:15Alone, he sat on the floor, holding the torn remains of the mate dress in his arms.

00:43:20The ring that once belonged to me now hung from his neck, threaded onto a cord.

00:43:25These were the last things that still carried my scent.

00:43:29With them, it almost felt like I was still there.

00:43:32Then, my phone in his pocket vibrated.

00:43:36He glanced down.

00:43:37A message.

00:43:39From the beta.

00:43:40Aria.

00:43:41So what if today is your mate ceremony?

00:43:44Do you believe I can still call Kane away with just one message?

00:43:48Don't think becoming Luna means anything.

00:43:51I'm carrying Kane's first pup.

00:43:53Tell me, what matters more?

00:43:55Your ceremony or his child?

00:43:58Last night he had his face against my stomach.

00:44:01Saying he couldn't wait for the baby to be born.

00:44:04He's already excited to be a father.

00:44:07That Luna position of yours won't last long.

00:44:10Another message followed.

00:44:12A photo.

00:44:13Kane.

00:44:14Pressing his face against her stomach.

00:44:17Kane's fingers tightened around the phone.

00:44:20Then he scrolled up.

00:44:22Message after message.

00:44:25All sent to me.

00:44:26I'm pregnant.

00:44:28Kane and I have been together for a year.

00:44:30You're a pretty pathetic Omega.

00:44:34Not just words.

00:44:36There were countless intimate photos.

00:44:39And even a video.

00:44:41The beta.

00:44:42Wearing a mate dress.

00:44:44Beneath him.

00:44:46Kane's breathing grew heavier.

00:44:48He remembered.

00:44:49When she found out about the ceremony.

00:44:52She had insisted on having a dress too.

00:44:55He hadn't thought much of it.

00:44:56Just a dress.

00:44:57He told the designer to make her one as well.

00:45:01By then.

00:45:02I had already awakened.

00:45:04Kane shut his eyes.

00:45:06The memory of the boutique flashed through his mind.

00:45:09My expression.

00:45:11My silence.

00:45:12A sharp pain twisted through his chest.

00:45:15Now he understood.

00:45:17That was why I had torn the mate dress to pieces.

00:45:21His gaze dropped back to the screen.

00:45:23His grip tightened until his knuckles turned white.

00:45:27Rage burned in his eyes.

00:45:30That beta.

00:45:31He had warned her countless times not to tell me anything.

00:45:35And yet she had gone behind his back.

00:45:38Provoking me again and again.

00:45:42His phone suddenly rang.

00:45:45He answered.

00:45:46On the other end.

00:45:48Her voice was trembling.

00:45:50On the verge of tears.

00:45:51Kane.

00:45:52My stomach doesn't feel right.

00:45:55Do you think something's wrong with the baby?

00:45:57Can you take me to the hospital?

00:46:01Of course.

00:46:02I'll be right there.

00:46:03I'll be waiting.

00:46:04The fragile tone was nothing like the messages on my phone.

00:46:08As if she were two completely different people.

00:46:11A cold aura settled over Kane.

00:46:13Her voice immediately brightened.

00:46:16Kane's eyes darkened.

00:46:18Since she wanted to see him so badly.

00:46:21He would make sure she got exactly what she wanted.

00:46:26On the other side.

00:46:27The beta froze for a moment when she heard how quickly Kane agreed.

00:46:31Then a surge of excitement rushed through her.

00:46:34She had assumed that today was Kane's mate ceremony with me.

00:46:37Even if she used the child as an excuse to pull him away.

00:46:41She expected it would take a lot of effort.

00:46:44But he agreed without hesitation.

00:46:47Did that mean her place in Kane's heart had already surpassed mine?

00:46:52Besides.

00:46:53She was carrying his only pup.

00:46:56A determined glint flashed across her eyes.

00:46:59She was probably thinking that even if I became Luna today.

00:47:03There was no guarantee I could hold on to that position.

00:47:07Before Kane arrived.

00:47:09She hurriedly changed into a sheer nightgown.

00:47:12Sprayed on his favorite scent based perfume.

00:47:15And reclined on the couch to wait.

00:47:18When Kane opened the door.

00:47:20The first thing he saw was her lying there in the thin fabric.

00:47:23A trace of coldness flickered through his eyes.

00:47:27So much for a stomach ache.

00:47:29More likely.

00:47:30This was just another trick to pull him away from Aria.

00:47:35It wasn't the first time she had used tactics like this.

00:47:39In the past.

00:47:40Kane treated her as nothing more than a distraction when he was bored.

00:47:44As long as she stayed obedient.

00:47:46And catered to him.

00:47:48He didn't mind indulging her a little.

00:47:50But that never meant he would tolerate her trying to take a place that wasn't hers.

00:47:56In his mind.

00:47:57There had only ever been one mate.

00:48:00From beginning to end.

00:48:01That was me.

00:48:02And for my death.

00:48:04She would have to pay the price.

00:48:08The beta didn't notice the chill radiating from him.

00:48:12She was still lost in her fantasy of becoming Luna.

00:48:15When she saw him.

00:48:16She put on a fragile expression.

00:48:18And gently touched her flat stomach.

00:48:21Kane.

00:48:21I know today is your mate ceremony with Aria.

00:48:25I shouldn't have called you back.

00:48:26But my stomach really hurts.

00:48:28This is your first pup.

00:48:30I was worried something might go wrong.

00:48:32So I had no choice but to call.

00:48:36Kane looked at her coldly.

00:48:39Where does it hurt?

00:48:40She didn't catch the icy edge in his voice.

00:48:43She thought he was concerned about her.

00:48:45Just like before.

00:48:47She stepped closer.

00:48:48Wrapping her arms around his neck.

00:48:50And breathing softly near his ear.

00:48:53The baby says it misses its father.

00:48:56She had always been bold about things like this.

00:48:59She believed that my empathic sense was weak.

00:49:02That I could never give a man the same kind of experience in bed.

00:49:06That in her mind.

00:49:07Was the key to keeping Kane.

00:49:10And with the mate ceremony today adding an extra thrill.

00:49:13She was certain she could make him stay the night.

00:49:16She was already imagining how she would message me the next day to provoke me.

00:49:22Completely missing the darkening expression on Kane's face.

00:49:26She took one of his hands and placed it on her stomach.

00:49:29When he didn't react.

00:49:30She guided his hand upward.

00:49:32Just as it was about to reach her chest.

00:49:34Kane slapped her heart across the face.

00:49:36Who gave you permission to touch me?

00:49:39She was knocked to the floor.

00:49:42Five clear finger marks blooming across her cheek.

00:49:45Clutching her swollen face.

00:49:47She stared at him in disbelief.

00:49:50She had been with him for a full year.

00:49:52And he had never laid a hand on her before.

00:49:55What had changed?

00:49:57And she was carrying his child.

00:50:00How could he be so ruthless?

00:50:03Cain!

00:50:04What did I do wrong?

00:50:05Why would you hit me?

00:50:07Haven't we always been like this?

00:50:09Her voice trembled.

00:50:11Tears welling in her eyes.

00:50:13But the sight of her crying did nothing to soften him.

00:50:17His expression grew even darker.

00:50:19Like a storm about to break.

00:50:22Who gave you the nerve to tell Aria about us?

00:50:26The beta's face went pale.

00:50:29She hadn't expected Kane to find out.

00:50:31But she still denied it on instinct.

00:50:33Kane!

00:50:34What are you talking about?

00:50:35I didn't say anything to Aria.

00:50:38Kane let out a cold laugh.

00:50:40His hand clamping down hard on her chin.

00:50:43You're still trying to lie?

00:50:45If I hadn't seen those messages myself, I never would have guessed best you had two faces.

00:50:51Playing the obedient little lamb in front of me.

00:50:54While acting arrogant as hell in front of Aria.

00:50:58I've warned you countless times.

00:51:00Aria is the only Omega I have ever truly loved.

00:51:03You are nothing more than a pet I kept around for amusement.

00:51:08You had a hand in Aria's death.

00:51:10And you're going to pay for it.

00:51:13His grip shifted to her throat, fingers tightening with each second.

00:51:18The veins in his arms stood out sharply, making him look terrifying.

00:51:23Driven by the instinct to survive, the beta clawed at his hand with both of hers, but he

00:51:28didn't loosen his grip.

00:51:30She stared at the face she had once been obsessed with.

00:51:34And for the first time, she felt nothing but fear.

00:51:37As the air in her lungs ran out, she forced out a single word.

00:51:45Child.

00:51:46At that word, Kane abruptly released her.

00:51:50She collapsed to the ground, gasping for air, coughing violently, overwhelmed by the relief

00:51:56of still being alive.

00:51:59Kane looked down at her pathetic state without the slightest flicker of emotion.

00:52:03All he could think about was getting rid of the child.

00:52:07It was because of her that I had taken my own life.

00:52:11Now, every time he saw her, he was reminded that she had destroyed the person he loved most.

00:52:17Even the pup in her womb filled him with disgust.

00:52:21But as the beta recovered, a strange sense of joy rose in her heart.

00:52:26It was as if she had forgotten the terror from moments ago.

00:52:30Only one thought echoed in her mind.

00:52:33Aria was dead.

00:52:38Out of jealousy, she hadn't watched the mate ceremony or looked up any news about it.

00:52:44She hadn't expected something so drastic to happen.

00:52:47To her, it had only been a few provocative messages and some suggestive photos.

00:52:53She never imagined I would be so fragile.

00:52:57Still, she felt grateful.

00:52:59This was her chance.

00:53:02Struggling to her feet, tears pooling in her eyes, she grabbed the hem of his shirt and pleaded.

00:53:09Kane, I didn't mean it.

00:53:10I just love you too much.

00:53:12I didn't want our child to be born with a bad name.

00:53:15I never thought Aria would take her own life over this.

00:53:18I was devastated when I heard.

00:53:21But she's gone now, we have to move forward, don't we?

00:53:26I'm carrying your pup.

00:53:27As she spoke, she gently stroked her still flat stomach.

00:53:32She knew Kane had always cared about the child.

00:53:35She assumed he had let her go earlier because he didn't want anything to happen to it.

00:53:40As long as she carried his pup, she believed she held a shield that would protect her from anything.

00:53:46She was wrong.

00:53:49Kane lifted his hand and lightly patted her cheek, his expression utterly cold.

00:53:54If you hadn't mentioned the child, I might have forgotten.

00:53:59Every time I think about how you caused Aria's death, I can't stand the sight of you.

00:54:05A child born from someone like you would only disgust me.

00:54:09The darkness in his tone finally made fear sink in.

00:54:12She stumbled back, clutching her lower abdomen with both hands, her voice trembling.

00:54:20Kane, what are you going to do to my child?

00:54:24He stepped closer, his voice cold and venomous.

00:54:28I'm having someone take you to the hospital to get rid of it.

00:54:31As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out his phone and ordered his bodyguards to take her away for

00:54:38the procedure.

00:54:39Come up, take her to the hospital and arrange the procedure immediately.

00:54:43Tears streaming down her face.

00:54:45No, this is your child too, Kane.

00:54:49How can you do this?

00:54:51Despair filled her expression.

00:54:53She couldn't believe he could be this heartless, completely indifferent to the life inside her.

00:55:01Just yesterday, he had pressed his ear against her stomach.

00:55:04I want our child's first word to be...

00:55:07Dad.

00:55:08And now, he could order its death without even blinking.

00:55:12No.

00:55:13She would never accept this.

00:55:16This is a living being.

00:55:18It's the result of our love.

00:55:21Kane, just imagine it.

00:55:22Our child growing up, calling me Dad and me Mom.

00:55:26Um, wouldn't that be a beautiful life?

00:55:30She knew Kane hated being threatened, so she tried to appeal to his emotions.

00:55:35But he remained towering over her, his expression cold and unfeeling.

00:55:41Love?

00:55:42There's nothing noble about what we have.

00:55:45It's nothing but a physical relationship.

00:55:48The only person I love is Arya.

00:55:49The bodyguards rushed in as soon as they got the call.

00:55:53They pushed the door open and grabbed the trembling Beta, preparing to take her to the hospital as ordered.

00:55:59She struggled desperately, but they were professionally trained.

00:56:04There was no way she could break free.

00:56:07As she was about to be dragged out, she screamed at Kane with everything she had left.

00:56:12Kane!

00:56:13You say you only love Arya, but we spent so many nights together!

00:56:18Did none of that mean anything to you?

00:56:20You told me you loved me too!

00:56:23Kane didn't react at all.

00:56:25He simply motioned for the bodyguards to take her away.

00:56:28All the way to the hospital, she fought against them,

00:56:32even trying to call out to the doctors and nurses for help.

00:56:36But this was a private hospital owned by Kane's company.

00:56:39Everyone there knew exactly who he was.

00:56:42Whatever he said, they followed.

00:56:45She was strapped to the operating table.

00:56:48As the anesthesia was injected, her consciousness slowly faded away.

00:56:54When she woke up again, even the slightest movement sent a heavy ache through her lower abdomen.

00:57:00Her pup was gone.

00:57:02The light in her eyes had completely faded.

00:57:05She stared blankly at the ceiling, hollow and motionless.

00:57:10After confirming with the doctor that the procedure was complete, Kane came to her bedside.

00:57:16When you're discharged, leave this city.

00:57:18I don't want to see you again.

00:57:22Every time he looked at her, he was reminded of his betrayal, reminded of my death.

00:57:27It felt like his heart was being carved apart.

00:57:31The beta's eyes shifted slightly.

00:57:33Finally, she already understood that becoming Luna was no longer possible.

00:57:38Now, she couldn't even remain as his lover.

00:57:41So, she gave up on everything.

00:57:45Kane, do you think you're some kind of tragic romantic now?

00:57:50You got rid of the illegitimate child, drove away your mistress, and now you get to mourn your dead lover

00:57:57all by yourself?

00:57:58Her mocking tone made Kane's fists clench.

00:58:01He shot her a sharp warning look.

00:58:04Enough.

00:58:05The first time we slept together, I didn't beg you.

00:58:08You were the one who couldn't resist and pushed me down.

00:58:11And a few days ago, you were the one who brought me home.

00:58:15You came downstairs in the middle of the night to find me.

00:58:18I never forced you.

00:58:20Aria's death was your doing.

00:58:22You're the one who drove her to it.

00:58:25Kane had already known, deep down, that his betrayal was what led to my death.

00:58:31But hearing it spoken so bluntly felt like a knife plunging into his heart all over again, tearing it open

00:58:39and leaving it bleeding.

00:58:40After a full day of spreading online, the news of Kane cheating with a beta had completely exploded across the

00:58:47internet.

00:58:48Trending topics were flooded with his name.

00:58:51Kane scandal.

00:58:53Kane cheating with a beta.

00:58:56Aria suicide.

00:58:58A month ago, Kane's public courtship had already caused a massive sensation.

00:59:03He had even promised,

00:59:04The upcoming mate ceremony will be more spectacular than anything anyone has ever seen.

00:59:10People everywhere had been waiting to witness what they called the mate ceremony of the century.

00:59:17So when that highly anticipated ceremony turned into a funeral,

00:59:22when news broke that an Omega had taken her own life after discovering her Alpha's betrayal,

00:59:28and even had her coffin delivered to the ceremony site,

00:59:31It instantly captured everyone's attention.

00:59:36Kane's carefully crafted image shattered overnight.

00:59:41He went from being the most desired Alpha online to a man universally condemned for destroying the person he claimed

00:59:48to love.

00:59:49I'm done believing in love.

00:59:51What kind of trash Alpha is this?

00:59:54Aria deserved so much better.

00:59:56Why would she end her life over someone like him?

00:59:59Are all alphas like this?

01:00:02Acting one way in public and another behind closed doors?

01:00:05It's disgusting.

01:00:06I actually believed in their perfect love story.

01:00:09The backlash was relentless.

01:00:13Companies that had partnered with Kane's group began cutting ties one after another.

01:00:18In no time the entire corporation was thrown into turmoil.

01:00:23But Kane himself had shut himself inside his bedroom.

01:00:27He lay curled up on the bed, eyes closed, clutching the torn mate ceremony suit I had ripped apart,

01:00:34as if holding it close could somehow bring back my scent.

01:00:38His parents, who had been overseas on business, rushed back as soon as they heard the news.

01:00:47And keep the company from spiraling further.

01:00:51The moment they finished handling corporate matters, they hurried straight to the villa.

01:00:57As soon as they walked in, a servant approached them anxiously.

01:01:01Sir, ma'am, the young master hasn't left his room for over a day.

01:01:06We've brought food upstairs, but he won't eat.

01:01:08He won't answer the door either.

01:01:11We didn't dare force our way in.

01:01:13But it's been so long, we're worried something might have happened.

01:01:16The moment they heard this, both of them felt their hearts drop.

01:01:20They hadn't realized their son had deteriorated to the point of refusing to eat.

01:01:26They rushed upstairs.

01:01:28Kane!

01:01:28Open the door!

01:01:29Kane!

01:01:30No matter how hard they knocked, there was no response.

01:01:33No matter how many times they called his name, there was only silence.

01:01:38Kane's mother's voice trembled with fear.

01:01:40Do you think something's happened to him?

01:01:44Break the door down.

01:01:48When the door was forced open, they found the curtains drawn tightly shut, blocking out every trace of light.

01:01:55Kane remained curled up on the bed, still clutching the torn mate ceremony suit.

01:01:59Even with everyone entering the room, he didn't react at all.

01:02:03The moment his mother saw how gaunt his face had become, her eyes filled with tears.

01:02:11England

01:02:12Standing in front of the sprawling Ashford Manor, I still felt like I was dreaming.

01:02:18I was no longer Phoenix.

01:02:20Now, I was Lyra Phoenix.

01:02:23I never imagined that a simple trip abroad would lead me to finding my biological parents.

01:02:31On the plane, a well-dressed woman seated next to me kept glancing in my direction.

01:02:36Out of politeness, I greeted her first, and we quickly fell into conversation.

01:02:43She told me she was part of the werewolf kind, a Chinese family settled in England.

01:02:48This trip back had been for one reason only, she was searching for her missing daughter.

01:02:54She and her husband had been running businesses overseas for years.

01:02:58When their youngest daughter was born, it happened to be during a full moon, and they were in China at

01:03:04the time.

01:03:05They decided to stay an extra month, and leave after the baby's one-month milestone.

01:03:11But the day before they were supposed to leave, their daughter disappeared.

01:03:16They called the police immediately, and searched with friends, but after an entire month, there was still no trace.

01:03:24The authorities believed the child had likely been trafficked, and the chances of finding her were slim.

01:03:30With their visas expiring, they had no choice but to leave the country.

01:03:35Even so, they never gave up.

01:03:38They entrusted friends in China to continue searching, and every year, they returned to that same city, staying for a

01:03:46full month to look for her.

01:03:48This was the 26th year.

01:03:51Everyone around them had urged them to let go, but they held on to the smallest thread of hope.

01:03:57This time, they had returned empty-handed once again.

01:04:01But when she saw me, she felt an unexplainable sense of familiarity.

01:04:06That was why she had kept looking at me.

01:04:10Strangely enough, I felt the same warmth from her.

01:04:14Without even realizing it, I began telling her about my past.

01:04:19When she learned I was an orphan, and that I came from the same city where her daughter had gone

01:04:24missing,

01:04:24her emotions became visibly stirred.

01:04:27She grasped my hands tightly, and asked if I would be willing to take a DNA test after we landed.

01:04:34Looking at the hopeful expressions on both her face and her husband's, I found myself nodding.

01:04:44The moment we got off the plane, they had their driver take us straight to the fastest GenCore lab available.

01:04:51The wait felt endless.

01:04:53But when the results finally came back, everything changed.

01:04:58I was their daughter.

01:05:00The moment they saw the confirmation, they pulled me into their arms and broke down in tears.

01:05:06And for the first time in my life, I understood something I had never known before.

01:05:12I was not unwanted.

01:05:14My parents loved me.

01:05:16They had spent 26 years searching for me.

01:05:20After asking for my opinion, they kept the name Phoenix for me, but added a first name.

01:05:26Lyra.

01:05:27From that moment on, I became Lyra Phoenix.

01:05:32Ever since they found out who I was, my mother refused to let go of my hand, her eyes filled

01:05:38with warmth and affection.

01:05:40Even my father, who carried himself with quiet restraint, couldn't hide the redness in his eyes as he looked at

01:05:46me.

01:05:48When we arrived at the estate, my mother led me eagerly to a bedroom door, like she had been waiting

01:05:54for this moment forever.

01:05:56Phoenix, your father and I have been waiting for you to come home.

01:06:00We've kept your room exactly as it was for 26 years.

01:06:04Now you're finally here, and it finally has its owner.

01:06:08Her voice trembled as she spoke.

01:06:10My father gently placed a hand on her shoulder, then nodded toward the door.

01:06:15Go on.

01:06:16Take a look.

01:06:17See if you like what we prepared for you.

01:06:20A warmth spread through my chest, something I had never felt before.

01:06:25Family.

01:06:26I pushed open the heavy door.

01:06:29Inside was a beautifully styled European vintage bed.

01:06:33A window beside it looked out over the back garden, the view stretching peacefully into the distance.

01:06:40The entire room was covered in soft carpeting, and right in the center sat a neat stack of boxes.

01:06:49Curious, I asked, what's in these?

01:06:52My father stepped forward, picked one up, and handed it to me.

01:06:57Open it and see.

01:06:59I carefully unwrapped it.

01:07:01Inside was a diamond bracelet.

01:07:04A realization hit me instantly.

01:07:06I rushed to open the rest.

01:07:08A princess dress.

01:07:10A crown.

01:07:11A necklace.

01:07:13One after another.

01:07:15There were exactly 26 items.

01:07:19No more, no less.

01:07:22My eyes burned as tears welled up.

01:07:25These were birthday gifts.

01:07:27Even when I wasn't with them, they had prepared one for me every single year, waiting for the day I

01:07:33would finally come home and open them.

01:07:36Growing up in the orphanage, the bullying had convinced me that no one in this world would ever love me.

01:07:43So when Cain entered my life like a blazing light, I fell for him without hesitation.

01:07:50But now I finally understood.

01:07:52Even when I didn't know it, my parents had always loved me.

01:07:56I stepped forward and wrapped my arms tightly around them.

01:08:01Mom, Dad, I'm home.

01:08:04My mom looked at me helplessly.

01:08:07Phoenix, I promise he's a good person.

01:08:10Just meet him once.

01:08:12If you don't like him, I'll find a way to call it off, okay?

01:08:16The first problem I faced after coming home turned out to be an arranged match.

01:08:22Back when my mom and her best friend were pregnant at the same time, they made a promise.

01:08:27If one had a boy and the other a girl, they would arrange a future match.

01:08:31If the children were the same gender, they would grow up like siblings.

01:08:36When they found out it was a boy and a girl, they were thrilled.

01:08:40They thought their friendship would turn into family.

01:08:43But not long after, I was taken.

01:08:46The arrangement was put on hold.

01:08:49A few days ago, after confirming that I was single, my mom and her friend brought it up

01:08:54again at the same time.

01:08:56The man was still single too.

01:08:58So the two mothers decided to revive the arrangement and let us meet.

01:09:05After five years in a failed relationship, I still hadn't fully recovered.

01:09:10The idea of starting something new made me uneasy.

01:09:13But I didn't want to tell my mom everything I had been through.

01:09:17I didn't want her to worry, so I agreed to meet him.

01:09:21I figured I would just explain things clearly in person.

01:09:25Even being friends would be fine.

01:09:27The moment I nodded, my mom lit up with excitement and immediately started setting a time, as if

01:09:34afraid something might change.

01:09:36The two mothers scheduled dinner for that very afternoon at the estate.

01:09:40By the afternoon, my mom had even called in a stylist to get me ready.

01:09:46I had no choice but to let her fuss over me.

01:09:50What I didn't expect was that when I finally met my so-called fiancé, I recognized him instantly.

01:09:59You?

01:10:00You?

01:10:01We spoke at the same time.

01:10:03I stared at the man in front of me, surprised.

01:10:06It was Vincent Gray.

01:10:08Vincent clearly hadn't expected it either.

01:10:11My mom and his mother exchanged a knowing look, smiles flickering across their faces as they quickly made excuses to

01:10:18leave, giving us space.

01:10:20For a moment, the large garden felt awkwardly quiet with just the two of us.

01:10:25Vincent broke the silence first.

01:10:28Aria.

01:10:29I didn't expect the daughter the Lyra family found to be you.

01:10:33We had gone to the same university back in China, studying in the same major.

01:10:38I nodded.

01:10:40Given the relationship between our families, he must have already heard what happened to me.

01:10:45There was no need to explain further.

01:10:48He hesitated slightly before speaking again.

01:10:52Aria.

01:10:53I remember your empathic sense.

01:10:57I instinctively touched the back of my neck.

01:10:59I had never told my parents about my weak empathic sense.

01:11:03I didn't want them to know how unhappy my childhood had been.

01:11:08It would only make them feel guilty.

01:11:10So I told him everything.

01:11:12My five-year relationship with Cain.

01:11:14How it ended.

01:11:15And how my empathic sense finally went through its awakening.

01:11:20At the end I added quietly.

01:11:22Vincent.

01:11:23I need you to keep this between us.

01:11:26I don't want my parents to worry.

01:11:28He pretended to think for a moment.

01:11:30Then said with a hint of reluctance.

01:11:32I can do that.

01:11:36But I have one condition.

01:11:40I blinked in surprise.

01:11:42I hadn't interacted with Vincent much before.

01:11:45But I remembered him as easygoing and kind.

01:11:48Still.

01:11:49I was asking him for a favor.

01:11:51It was only fair.

01:11:52What's the condition?

01:11:54He smiled.

01:11:55A playful glint in his eyes.

01:11:58Can I stop calling you Aria and call you Phoenix instead?

01:12:02And you don't have to call me Vincent so formally either.

01:12:04I hadn't expected something so simple.

01:12:08Ever since I changed my name, people around me had been calling me Phoenix.

01:12:13But somehow, hearing it from him felt different.

01:12:17Of course, Vincent.

01:12:20Thinking about the arranged match, I hesitated before finally gathering the courage to speak.

01:12:26Vincent.

01:12:29You already know I just came out of a failed relationship.

01:12:33I'm not ready for anything new right now.

01:12:36About the arrangement.

01:12:38I had assumed that me being an Omega might make him feel embarrassed or slighted.

01:12:43But his expression stayed calm.

01:12:45It's fine.

01:12:48I'll explain it to my mum.

01:12:50Honestly, on my way here I was already thinking about how to bring this up.

01:12:55Restrawn this up.

01:12:57Without affecting our family's relationship.

01:12:59He paused, then smiled.

01:13:02I didn't expect the Lyra family's daughter to be you.

01:13:06Even if we call off the arrangement, we can still be good friends, right?

01:13:11Relief washed over me.

01:13:13I smiled and nodded.

01:13:14Of course.

01:13:15Maybe it was because we had shared the same university, the same memories.

01:13:20Having just arrived in England, everything still felt unfamiliar.

01:13:25But with Vincent, I felt a sense of ease I hadn't expected.

01:13:30We started talking about the past, and I realized we had so many shared interests.

01:13:35Before long, we grew closer, even meeting up from time to time to hang out.

01:13:42One day, after feeding seagulls by the coast, Vincent walked me back home.

01:13:47We ended up standing by the front gate, laughing and talking about everything that had happened earlier.

01:13:53I don't know how long we stood there.

01:13:55Then, from behind me, I heard a familiar voice.

01:14:02After spotting a familiar figure in the news, Kane used every connection he had to track down her identity.

01:14:09Because the Lyra family had deep roots overseas while Kane remained in China, it took him half a month to

01:14:16finally uncover information about me.

01:14:18The moment he saw the photo from the banquet, he knew that was his little wolf.

01:14:26Even with a different name, he was certain there was no mistaking it.

01:14:31He immediately began digging for the Lyra family's address.

01:14:35Once he confirmed it, he rushed to catch the earliest flight to England.

01:14:40On the way, he must have imagined countless scenarios of seeing me again.

01:14:45He thought the most likely outcome was that I would still be angry and refuse to speak to him.

01:14:51But that didn't matter.

01:14:53As long as he could see me, that would be enough.

01:14:57After experiencing my death, he had come to realize more than ever that he could not live without me.

01:15:03He planned to apologize sincerely, to promise that he would never be tempted by another Omega again.

01:15:10He even imagined that once I forgave him, he would hold an even grander mate ceremony,

01:15:17one that would surpass anything before it, and declare his love to the world.

01:15:22What he didn't expect was that when he finally saw me again, a month later, I was already standing beside

01:15:30another Alpha.

01:15:32Vincent and I had been talking, completely absorbed, for nearly an hour.

01:15:38Cain stood behind a wall like an intruder peeking into someone else's happiness.

01:15:43But the moment he saw that familiar figure, longing crashed over him like a tidal wave.

01:15:50Just before he could no longer hold it in, he finally called out the name he had been repeating in

01:15:56his mind.

01:15:57After nearly a month, he was seeing me again, alive.

01:16:02His eyes reddened, his voice unsteady.

01:16:05Little wolf, I finally found you.

01:16:09You're not dead.

01:16:10You're really here.

01:16:14He instinctively ignored the Alpha, standing beside me.

01:16:19The moment I heard that familiar voice, I let out a quiet sigh.

01:16:24I had always known the fake death wouldn't fool Cain forever.

01:16:28I just hadn't expected him to track me down in England this quickly.

01:16:33I gave Vincent a subtle look, signaling him to leave first.

01:16:37Then I turned around, my expression cold as I looked straight at Cain.

01:16:42Cain, why are you here?

01:16:44Area is dead.

01:16:46I'm Phoenix now.

01:16:48Cain finally recalled everything he had learned over the past two weeks.

01:16:53His little wolf was never an orphan.

01:16:56I was Phoenix, the lost daughter of the Lyra family, their most cherished child.

01:17:01Little wolf.

01:17:02No, Phoenix.

01:17:05I know I was wrong.

01:17:07I've already dealt with the beta.

01:17:09The child is gone too.

01:17:12Can you forgive me?

01:17:14With his intelligence, it didn't take much to figure out that the body at the mate ceremony had been staged.

01:17:21It was nothing more than my way of escaping after my heart had already died.

01:17:26Now that he had finally found me again, the person he had thought about day and night,

01:17:31he was determined to apologize and beg for forgiveness.

01:17:35I let out a quiet laugh.

01:17:37I had seen with my own eyes how he treated the beta.

01:17:41And now he could dismiss everything so easily, saying he had taken care of her and the pup as if

01:17:48it meant nothing.

01:17:49I used to think he had simply transferred his love from me to someone else.

01:17:54Now, I understood the truth.

01:17:57He was rotten to the core.

01:17:59He didn't truly love anyone.

01:18:26The thought alone made his chest tighten with pain.

01:18:30No, that couldn't be true.

01:18:33It had only been a month.

01:18:35How could I have stopped loving him so quickly?

01:18:39In his mind, I was still angry.

01:18:41I just hadn't forgiven him yet.

01:18:44Kane stepped forward reaching for my hand, wanting to explain.

01:18:48Before he could touch me, I took a step back putting distance between us.

01:18:54The hurt in his expression was obvious, but he quickly tried to explain himself.

01:19:00Phoenix, I don't mean anything else.

01:19:03I just want to explain.

01:19:05Believe me, I've only ever loved you.

01:19:10I never had real feelings for that beta.

01:19:15Can you forgive me and come back with me?

01:19:18I promise, there will never be another Omega around me again.

01:19:21I swear I'll only love you.

01:19:24We can have an even grander mate ceremony.

01:19:28By the end, there was a flicker of hope in his eyes.

01:19:32I didn't react.

01:19:34My expression remained cold.

01:19:36Five years ago when you got together with me, you made the same promise.

01:19:40You said you would only love me.

01:19:44And you still cheated.

01:19:46I won't believe you again.

01:19:48And I will never forgive you.

01:19:52You should leave.

01:19:54Don't come back.

01:19:55When I first discovered his betrayal, the pain had been unbearable.

01:20:00There was even a moment when I hesitated.

01:20:03Because he still treated me the same as before, I thought maybe I could pretend nothing had happened.

01:20:11Maybe we could complete the mate bond and he would continue to treat me well.

01:20:17Maybe he would keep the other Omega out of my sight.

01:20:21But after lie, after lie, after seeing him entangled with the beta, with my own eyes, I realized, I couldn't

01:20:29do it.

01:20:30I couldn't live like nothing had happened.

01:20:33What I wanted had always been something real.

01:20:37A love that was honest.

01:20:40And once Kane tainted that love, I no longer wanted it.

01:20:45Back then, I had already made my decision.

01:20:49I would never forgive him.

01:20:51I turned to leave.

01:20:53But Kane wasn't ready to give up.

01:20:56In a moment of panic, he grabbed my wrist.

01:21:01Little Wolf, I swear.

01:21:03My heart has always belonged to you.

01:21:05You're the only one I love.

01:21:07I pulled free from his grip and looked at him.

01:21:10The urgency and sincerity on his face didn't seem fake.

01:21:14But I only let out a soft, humorless laugh.

01:21:19Love me?

01:21:20You talked about the beta with your friends right in front of me.

01:21:25Was that love?

01:21:29You had my mate ceremony designer make a dress for her.

01:21:32Was that love?

01:21:35You snuck downstairs in the middle of the night to see her while I was asleep.

01:21:39Was that love?

01:21:40If that's your version of love, it's cheap.

01:21:44I don't want it.

01:21:46With every word Kane's face grew paler.

01:21:50By the end he looked like he could barely stand.

01:21:53My words cut into him like a blade, tearing his heart apart piece by piece.

01:21:59Never in his life had Kane hated himself this much.

01:22:02If he had never gotten involved with the beta in the first place, none of this would have happened.

01:22:11Kane's voice trembled slightly.

01:22:13Little Wolf, are you really never going to forgive me?

01:22:17I nodded without hesitation.

01:22:20That's right.

01:22:21Never.

01:22:22I didn't wait to see his reaction.

01:22:24I turned and walked inside.

01:22:28The next day, Vincent and I had plans to attend a concert.

01:22:33Ever since my empathic sense went through its awakening, I had grown especially sensitive to emotions.

01:22:40The calm of nature.

01:22:42The intensity of music.

01:22:44The sincerity or deceit in people's voices.

01:22:47Vincent happened to be a huge fan of classical music, and every time I went to a concert with him,

01:22:53I learned something new.

01:22:57Kane's stood outside the estate the entire night.

01:23:01My words from yesterday echoed endlessly in his mind.

01:23:05What once felt like relief after his first time with the beta had now come back like a blade, striking

01:23:11him full force.

01:23:13Still, he wanted one more chance.

01:23:16He refused to believe that five years of love could be erased so completely.

01:23:22After getting Vincent's message, I headed downstairs, humming like a carefree bird.

01:23:28My mom, who was having breakfast, teased me when she saw me.

01:23:32Who was the one who said they didn't want to meet him?

01:23:35Now it looks like you can't wait to see him every day.

01:23:37I'd say this match is looking pretty promising.

01:23:40Mom, we're just friends.

01:23:42But for some reason, I felt my cheeks warm.

01:23:46I quickly ran out the door.

01:23:49The tickets for today's concert were hard to get, and Vincent had told me that one of his favorite cellists

01:23:55would be performing.

01:23:57The moment I stepped outside, I saw Kane standing off to the side, completely still.

01:24:03I acted as if I hadn't seen him, and ran straight toward Vincent.

01:24:09He was holding a sandwich, and handed it to me naturally.

01:24:13My mom asked me to bring this for you.

01:24:16I took a bite.

01:24:20My eyes lighting up.

01:24:22Aunt Grace's cooking is as amazing as ever.

01:24:25Come on, we're gonna be late.

01:24:28You still haven't told me who else is performing today.

01:24:31Kane remained where he was, watching as I walked farther and farther away.

01:24:37The moment I stepped out, he had wanted to call out to me.

01:24:42To try one last time.

01:24:44But then, he saw the light in my eyes.

01:24:47That bright, eager happiness.

01:24:50It was a look he knew all too well.

01:24:53Back when we were together, I used to look at him like that all the time.

01:24:57But now, he hadn't seen it, in nearly two months.

01:25:04When he thought back to the days before I staged my death, he realized something.

01:25:10Back then, my eyes had been empty.

01:25:13Like still water without a ripple.

01:25:15Nothing could stir any emotion in me.

01:25:18And yet, at the beginning of our relationship, I had looked at him the way I had just looked at

01:25:24Vincent.

01:25:25That was when he finally understood.

01:25:29What this relationship had left me with was nothing but pain.

01:25:33He had no right to ask for my forgiveness anymore.

01:25:36He booked a flight back home that same afternoon.

01:25:40Before leaving, he realized he didn't have my current number.

01:25:45So he borrowed a piece of paper and a pen from a passerby and wrote a message.

01:25:49He placed it somewhere visible by the gate.

01:25:54After one last look at the place where I would spend the rest of my life, he got into the

01:26:00car and left.

01:26:04A gust of wind lifted the paper into the air.

01:26:11On it, there was only one sentence.

01:26:17Little wolf, please let me call you that a last time.

01:26:21I'm sorry.

01:26:22I wish you a lifetime of happiness.

01:26:25Spring in England.

01:26:26Vincent and I walked through the rose garden at Ashford Manor.

01:26:31Phoenix.

01:26:32Vincent said stopping in his tracks, his expression was more serious than I had ever seen before.

01:26:39I know you're not ready right now, but I want you to know if one day you're willing to believe

01:26:43in love again.

01:26:45I'll be here waiting.

01:26:46I looked at him, warmth spreading through my chest.

01:26:50Maybe, one day, I would believe in love again.

01:26:55But for now, I was content.

01:26:58Loved by my parents.

01:27:00Surrounded by friends.

01:27:02Running freely under the moonlight.

01:27:04Feeling the breeze.

01:27:06And breathing in the scent of flowers.

01:27:09I am Phoenix.

01:27:11And I have risen from the ashes.
