Short filmTranscript
00:00:05Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies.
00:00:09My Alpha Cain had an affair with his mistress Beta the day before our mating ceremony.
00:00:14He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing, unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive
00:00:22every betrayal we uttered.
00:00:25Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.
00:00:31In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.
00:00:34The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too
00:00:39long.
00:00:40Good.
00:00:41My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.
00:00:46Rest assured, no one will question it. We'll simulate a death by silver.
00:00:51No wolf survives that kind of damage.
00:00:54Only then, did I let out a slow breath.
00:00:58After confirming the remaining details, I hung up, and pushed open the door, to the private room.
00:01:05The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.
00:01:08Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.
00:01:12The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Cain.
00:01:17Cain, seated at the center, rose immediately.
00:01:21His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern.
00:01:26His voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.
00:01:30My little wolf, where did you go?
00:01:33I can smell fear on you.
00:01:35He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze,
00:01:40and forced down the bitterness rising in my chest.
00:01:43I shook my head.
00:01:45I'm fine.
00:01:46Let's just keep going.
00:01:48Still holding my hand, Cain led me back to my seat.
00:01:52The room gradually came back to life, until someone spoke up.
00:01:56Cain, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond.
00:02:01So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?
00:02:03My nails dug into my palm.
00:02:06Being the useless one who couldn't shift.
00:02:09I'd long since gotten used to names like that.
00:02:12But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Cain.
00:02:20Someone beside the speaker nudged him.
00:02:23Hey, watch it.
00:02:24Your Luna's right here.
00:02:26He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.
00:02:29What's the problem?
00:02:31It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.
00:02:35I'm just curious how Cain plans to deal with his little bitch.
00:02:39All eyes turned to Cain.
00:02:41A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.
00:02:45I'll keep her.
00:02:47He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.
00:02:52She's just a pet I keep around.
00:02:54My only mate is Aria.
00:02:56He smirked faintly.
00:02:58But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.
00:03:02So I've kept it well hidden.
00:03:05Even after the mate bond.
00:03:07I won't let her find out.
00:03:10His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.
00:03:15Watch your mouths.
00:03:16If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.
00:03:21These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked them.
00:03:26If anything, they sounded amused.
00:03:29Cain's got it bad.
00:03:31Can't even let his little toy get exposed.
00:03:34Well, she can't shift.
00:03:35Figures she'd be fragile.
00:03:38Someone's eyes lit up.
00:03:40Curiosity getting the better of him.
00:03:43Cain, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at home?
00:03:52Cain chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.
00:03:56Of course.
00:03:58It's been wild.
00:04:01The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.
00:04:05Cain really knows how to play!
00:04:08A useless one like that?
00:04:10Easy to fool.
00:04:12Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.
00:04:18Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.
00:04:23Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.
00:04:28No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.
00:04:32My knuckles had gone white.
00:04:34No one knew.
00:04:35Three days ago, I had my awakening.
00:04:40And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.
00:04:44I would never complete a mate bond with Cain.
00:04:48On the day of the ceremony,
00:04:50the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.
00:04:54A fake one.
00:04:55Cain glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.
00:05:01My little wolf, why aren't you eating?
00:05:04I looked at him.
00:05:05At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern
00:05:10and forced a faint smile.
00:05:13What were you all talking about that got you so excited?
00:05:16Cain smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
00:05:22They were just saying they envy envy our bond.
00:05:24That will be the most devoted pair there is.
00:05:29Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.
00:05:33I caught every single one of them.
00:05:35The mockery.
00:05:36The cruelty.
00:05:37It burned.
00:05:40My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver, the pain sharp enough to cut through
00:05:45bone.
00:05:46They had been talking about him and that woman, yet somehow twisted it into admiration for
00:05:52what we had.
00:05:53Cain, I never realized you could lie so easily.
00:05:58Cain, I set my silver fork down and stood.
00:06:01I didn't want to hear another word of it.
00:06:04The moment I moved to leave, Cain was on his feet, a flicker of panic crossing his face.
00:06:10Little wolf, what's wrong?
00:06:13I shook my head.
00:06:15My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.
00:06:19I'm tired.
00:06:21I want to go back to the pack house.
00:06:24I didn't wait for his response.
00:06:26I turned and walked out.
00:06:29Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.
00:06:34A mating display was playing.
00:06:37Aria, be my mate.
00:06:40The words stretched across the center in bold, impossible-to-miss letters.
00:06:46People passing by slowed down, their voices full of envy.
00:06:53Oh my god, I heard Alpha Cain's girl can't shift, so he rented the biggest screen in the
00:06:58city just so she could clearly see the words, be my mate?
00:07:01That's insanely romantic.
00:07:04He treats that girl so well.
00:07:06After the mate bond, he's going to be the perfect alpha.
00:07:11I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.
00:07:18A week ago, I would have reacted the same way.
00:07:21I would have believed in Cain's love without question.
00:07:26I was born into a declining pack.
00:07:30From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.
00:07:34Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace, a failure.
00:07:41Cain entered my life under those circumstances.
00:07:44He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.
00:07:48But I had seen this kind of attention before.
00:07:52Cruel games disguised as affection.
00:07:55So I avoided him.
00:07:58Ninety-nine times he confessed.
00:08:01Ninety-nine times I turned him down.
00:08:04Until the night the silver hunters attacked, he threw himself over me without hesitation.
00:08:11Even when silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move.
00:08:15He held his position, shielding me with his body.
00:08:19When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.
00:08:25And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me, was reach out and gently touch my face.
00:08:33My little wolf, as long as you're safe.
00:08:36That was the moment everything changed.
00:08:39For the first time, I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking everything
00:08:46for.
00:08:47The walls around my heart cracked open for him.
00:08:50The wound from the silver never fully healed.
00:08:54It left behind a permanent circular scar.
00:08:58Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
00:09:04For five years, he never wavered.
00:09:07He treated me with the same devotion, the same care, as if I were the only one who mattered.
00:09:16Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.
00:09:22And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real.
00:09:28Something more.
00:09:29I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the mate
00:09:35ritual.
00:09:36If it failed, I would have died.
00:09:40But I survived.
00:09:42Not only that, I gained something rare.
00:09:45Empathic sense.
00:09:47I decided to keep it a secret.
00:09:49I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
00:09:52But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart.
00:09:58Through that new ability, I sensed him.
00:10:01Kane.
00:10:02Talking to his beta pet.
00:10:04Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.
00:10:10That was when I learned the truth.
00:10:12He had already betrayed our bond.
00:10:15For an entire year.
00:10:17And I had known nothing.
00:10:20A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.
00:10:26His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again.
00:10:31Even with the mate ceremony approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship.
00:10:36Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?
00:10:42The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless.
00:10:46But my mind had never been clearer.
00:10:49I would show Kane the truth.
00:10:52Lies don't last forever.
00:10:54And I would never forgive betrayal.
00:10:57I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest.
00:11:02Just as I was about to head back, a pair of strong arms wrapped around
00:11:06me from behind.
00:11:09Kane's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.
00:11:14It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to breathe.
00:11:18Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me?
00:11:21Are you in a bad mood today?
00:11:23Then let me take you to see your mate dress.
00:11:26The custom piece just arrived.
00:11:29He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to the back of my neck,
00:11:33gently stroking the spot where his marking remained.
00:11:40I don't feel like going.
00:11:42Just pick it yourself.
00:11:44I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.
00:11:47There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.
00:11:51Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone.
00:11:55His voice softened, almost cautious.
00:11:58Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?
00:12:03Do you not want to bond with me anymore?
00:12:06I looked at him, at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.
00:12:11I almost told him the truth.
00:12:14Yes, I don't want this anymore.
00:12:17You were the one who betrayed us first.
00:12:19You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.
00:12:22You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.
00:12:26And now you're asking me why?
00:12:29But I wasn't ready to expose everything, not yet.
00:12:34At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside, an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the
00:12:40mate dress prepared in advance.
00:12:43Miss, the gown Alpha Kane had blessed by the Moon Goddess has arrived.
00:12:47Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.
00:12:51The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous.
00:12:56Moonstones were set into the bodice, casting a soft, sacred glow.
00:13:01Kane wrapped an arm around my waist.
00:13:03My little wolf, do you like it?
00:13:07I couldn't deny it, the design was exactly my taste.
00:13:11But no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't mend what had already been broken.
00:13:17Look closer, Kane said softly, at the center of the Moonstone.
00:13:22I followed his gaze.
00:13:24Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.
00:13:28A and K, forever.
00:13:30The Moon Goddess is our witness.
00:13:34My love for you will last forever, too.
00:13:37I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart.
00:13:42Then I turned to him, and met his eyes.
00:13:45Eyes filled with something that looked like love.
00:13:49Will your love for me really last forever?
00:13:54A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.
00:13:58I Kane swear, swear that I will love Arya forever.
00:14:03For my entire life.
00:14:06If I break this oath, may the Moon Goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.
00:14:11Such a solemn vow.
00:14:13And yet, it couldn't warm a heart that had already gone cold.
00:14:19He had already broken it.
00:14:21And still, he kept acting.
00:14:24Didn't he get tired?
00:14:26I turned my face away, unwilling to look at him any longer.
00:14:31Kane seemed about to say something else, but his phone suddenly rang.
00:14:35His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer.
00:14:40When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.
00:14:45Little Wolf, something urgent just came up.
00:14:48Go ahead and try the dress.
00:14:50If anything needs adjusting, just tell the staff.
00:14:53He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.
00:14:58I watched his retreating figure, a bitter thought settling in.
00:15:03Kane had never walked away from me for pack business.
00:15:06And just before he left, I had caught it.
00:15:10That flicker in his eyes.
00:15:13Raw, instinctive desire.
00:15:16Work?
00:15:18Hardly.
00:15:18He was going to see her.
00:15:21When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.
00:15:26The slight dip in the mattress.
00:15:28The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla, and lingering scent, thick with unmistakable desire.
00:15:35The thought hit me all at once.
00:15:38Kane and that beta had been here, on this bed.
00:15:42Entwined.
00:15:43My stomach twisted violently.
00:15:45I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop.
00:15:50Kane had just come back.
00:15:52The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.
00:15:56Little Wolf, did you eat something bad?
00:15:59I'll call a healer right now.
00:16:03I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red.
00:16:07I'm fine.
00:16:08I just thought of something disgusting.
00:16:12Kane dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
00:16:18Don't think about things like that.
00:16:21Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
00:16:24I looked down at him, at the open collar of his shirt, and the marks on his skin.
00:16:31Bite marks, fresh, obvious.
00:16:34Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.
00:16:38How strong did Kane have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body,
00:16:42and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?
00:16:47His voice grew sharper, more agitated.
00:16:51Who did this to you?
00:16:53Who made Maid, my little wolf like this?
00:16:57Tell me, I'll tear them apart.
00:17:00A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
00:17:04Kane, you're the one who did this to me.
00:17:08Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl.
00:17:13Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.
00:17:19But the bed was empty.
00:17:21I sat up and went downstairs.
00:17:24As I reached the second floor, I heard it.
00:17:27A woman's breathless voice.
00:17:30Soft, broken.
00:17:32I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest,
00:17:37then walked toward the guest room.
00:17:39The door was wide open.
00:17:41Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.
00:17:47Inside, Kane was bare from the waist up.
00:17:51The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.
00:17:54The long skirt pushed up to her waist.
00:17:56Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.
00:18:00Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck, her voice unsteady.
00:18:04Alpha, the dress I just got today, you already torn it.
00:18:10Kane let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
00:18:15You wore it for me, didn't you?
00:18:20I even had the designer make one just for you.
00:18:24So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?
00:18:28She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
00:18:33Alpha, I can't, I can't take ache anymore.
00:18:37Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
00:18:42What if Aria sees us?
00:18:44Kane stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
00:18:49She's useless.
00:18:50She doesn't understand anything.
00:18:52Don't you dare tell her about us.
00:18:54The beta traced circles against his chest, her tone soft, almost hurt.
00:18:59I know, I just, she's about to become your mate, and I'll always have to stay hidden.
00:19:09It makes me sad.
00:19:11Kane's expression softened slightly.
00:19:14You jealous little thing.
00:19:16I already brought you into this house.
00:19:18Isn't that enough?
00:19:20Don't worry.
00:19:21Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you.
00:19:25Whatever Aria has, you'll have too.
00:19:28Moonlight, lit up my face, where I stood outside the door.
00:19:33I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.
00:19:39Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades,
00:19:43carving wound after wound into my chest.
00:19:46I turned and ran.
00:19:49Barefoot.
00:19:50Straight out into the rain.
00:19:52Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.
00:19:55I just needed to get away, as far away as possible.
00:19:59Through the haze, I thought I saw him.
00:20:03A younger Kane.
00:20:05The one I had once loved.
00:20:08His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.
00:20:13Little Wolf, leave him.
00:20:16Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore, and never forgive him.
00:20:21My vision burned, as I looked at that memory.
00:20:25At the Alpha, I had once given my heart to.
00:20:29Okay.
00:20:30I whispered.
00:20:31I will leave you, and I will never forgive you.
00:20:48Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies.
00:20:52My Alpha Kane had an affair with his mistress, Beta, the day before our mating ceremony.
00:20:57He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing.
00:21:02Unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive every betrayal we uttered.
00:21:08Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.
00:21:14In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.
00:21:17The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too
00:21:23long.
00:21:24Good.
00:21:25My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.
00:21:30Rest assured, no one will question it.
00:21:32We'll simulate a death by silver.
00:21:35No wolf survives that kind of damage.
00:21:38Only then, did I let out a slow breath.
00:21:42After confirming the remaining details, I hung up, and pushed open the door, to the private room.
00:21:48The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.
00:21:52Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.
00:21:56The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Kane.
00:22:01Kane, seated at the center, rose immediately.
00:22:04His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern.
00:22:09His voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.
00:22:13My little wolf, where did you go?
00:22:16I can smell fear on you.
00:22:19He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze,
00:22:23and forced down the bitterness rising in my chest.
00:22:26I shook my head.
00:22:28I'm fine.
00:22:30Let's just keep going.
00:22:31Still holding my hand, Kane led me back to my seat.
00:22:35The room gradually came back to life, until someone spoke up.
00:22:40Kane, you and your wildcat are about to seal your mate bond.
00:22:44So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?
00:22:47My nails dug into my palm.
00:22:49Being the useless one who couldn't shift, I'd long since gotten used to names like that.
00:22:55But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent lingering on Kane.
00:23:03Someone beside the speaker nudged him.
00:23:07Hey, watch it.
00:23:08Your Luna's right here.
00:23:09He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.
00:23:13What's the problem?
00:23:15It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.
00:23:19I'm just curious how Kane plans to deal with his little bitch.
00:23:22All eyes turned to Kane.
00:23:25A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.
00:23:28I'll keep her.
00:23:30He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.
00:23:35She's just a pet I keep around.
00:23:37My only mate is Aria.
00:23:40He smirked faintly.
00:23:41But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.
00:23:46So I've kept it well hidden.
00:23:49Even after the mate bond, I won't let her find out.
00:23:53His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.
00:23:58Watch your mouths.
00:24:00If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.
00:24:05These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked them.
00:24:10If anything, they sounded amused.
00:24:13Kane's got it bad.
00:24:14Can't even let his little toy get exposed.
00:24:17Well, she can't shift.
00:24:19Figures she'd be fragile.
00:24:21Someone's eyes lit up.
00:24:23Curiosity getting the better of him.
00:24:26Kane, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at home?
00:24:36Kane chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.
00:24:40Of course.
00:24:42It's been wild.
00:24:44The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.
00:24:49Kane really knows how to play!
00:24:52A useless one like that?
00:24:54Easy to fool.
00:24:56Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.
00:25:01Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.
00:25:07Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.
00:25:12No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.
00:25:15My knuckles had gone white.
00:25:17No one knew.
00:25:19Three days ago, I had my awakening.
00:25:24And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.
00:25:28I would never complete a mate bond with Kane.
00:25:31Kane.
00:25:32On the day of the ceremony, the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.
00:25:37A fake one.
00:25:39Kane glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.
00:25:44My little wolf, why aren't you eating?
00:25:47I looked at him.
00:25:49At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern and forced a faint smile.
00:25:57What were you all talking about that got you so excited?
00:26:00Kane smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
00:26:06They were just saying they envy envy our bond.
00:26:08That will be the most devoted pair there is.
00:26:12Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.
00:26:16I caught every single one of them.
00:26:18The mockery.
00:26:19The cruelty.
00:26:21It burned.
00:26:23My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver.
00:26:27The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.
00:26:30They had been talking about him and that woman.
00:26:33Yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.
00:26:37Kane, I never realized you could lie so easily.
00:26:41I set my silver fork down and stood.
00:26:44I didn't want to hear another word of it.
00:26:47The moment I moved to leave, Kane was on his feet.
00:26:51A flicker of panic crossing his face.
00:26:54Little wolf, what's wrong?
00:26:57I shook my head.
00:26:58My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.
00:27:03I'm tired.
00:27:05I want to go back to the pack house.
00:27:07I didn't wait for his response.
00:27:09I turned and walked out.
00:27:12Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.
00:27:18A mating display was playing.
00:27:21Aria, be my mate.
00:27:24The words stretched across the center in bold, impossible-to-miss letters.
00:27:30People passing by slowed down, their voices full of envy.
00:27:36Oh my god, I heard Alpha Kane's girl can't shift, so he rented the biggest screen in the city just
00:27:42so she could clearly see the words, be my mate?
00:27:45That's insanely romantic.
00:27:48He treats that girl so well.
00:27:50After the mate bond, he's going to be the perfect alpha.
00:27:54I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.
00:28:02A week ago, I would have reacted the same way.
00:28:05I would have believed in Kane's love without question.
00:28:10I was born into a declining pack.
00:28:13From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.
00:28:18Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace.
00:28:22A failure.
00:28:24Kane entered my life under those circumstances.
00:28:28He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.
00:28:32But I had seen this kind of attention before.
00:28:36Cruel games disguised as affection.
00:28:39So I avoided him.
00:28:4199 times he confessed.
00:28:4499 times I turned him down.
00:28:48Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked.
00:28:50He threw himself over me without hesitation.
00:28:54Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move.
00:28:59He held his position, shielding me with his body.
00:29:03When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.
00:29:09And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me was reach out and gently touch my face.
00:29:16My little wolf, as long as you're safe.
00:29:20That was the moment everything changed.
00:29:23For the first time, I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking everything
00:29:29for.
00:29:30The walls around my heart cracked open for him.
00:29:34The wound from the Silver never fully healed.
00:29:38It left behind a permanent circular scar.
00:29:41Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
00:29:48For five years, he never wavered.
00:29:51He treated me with the same devotion, the same care, as if I were the only one who mattered.
00:30:00Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.
00:30:06And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real.
00:30:10Something more.
00:30:12I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the mate
00:30:19ritual.
00:30:20If it failed, I would have died.
00:30:23But I survived.
00:30:25Not only that, I gained something rare.
00:30:29Empathic sense.
00:30:30I decided to keep it a secret.
00:30:33I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
00:30:37But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart.
00:30:41Through that new ability, I sensed him.
00:30:45Kane.
00:30:46Talking to his beta pet.
00:30:48Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.
00:30:53That was when I learned the truth.
00:30:56He had already betrayed our bond.
00:30:58For an entire year.
00:31:01And I had known nothing.
00:31:03A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.
00:31:10His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again.
00:31:15Even with the mate ceremony approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship.
00:31:20Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?
00:31:26The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless.
00:31:30But my mind had never been clearer.
00:31:33I would show Kane the truth.
00:31:35Lies don't last forever.
00:31:38And I would never forgive betrayal.
00:31:41I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest.
00:31:45Just as I was about to head back, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
00:31:52Kane's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.
00:31:57It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to breathe.
00:32:02Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me?
00:32:04Are you in a bad mood today?
00:32:07Then let me take you to see your mate dress.
00:32:10The custom piece just arrived.
00:32:12He pulled me into his arms, his hand sliding up to the back of my neck, gently stroking the spot
00:32:19where his marking remained.
00:32:23I don't feel like going. Just pick it yourself.
00:32:27I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.
00:32:31There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.
00:32:35Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone.
00:32:38His voice softened, almost cautious.
00:32:41Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?
00:32:47Do you not want to bond with me anymore?
00:32:50I looked at him, at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.
00:32:54I almost told him the truth.
00:32:57Yes, I don't want this anymore.
00:33:00You were the one who betrayed us first.
00:33:03You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.
00:33:05You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.
00:33:10And now you're asking me why?
00:33:13But I wasn't ready to expose everything, not yet.
00:33:18At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside, an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress
00:33:25prepared in advance.
00:33:27Miss, the gown alpha Kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.
00:33:31Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.
00:33:35The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous.
00:33:39Moon stones were set into the bodice, casting a soft, sacred glow.
00:33:45Kane wrapped an arm around my waist.
00:33:47My little wolf, do you like it?
00:33:50I couldn't deny it.
00:33:52The design was exactly my taste.
00:33:54But no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't mend what had already been broken.
00:34:01Look closer, Kane said softly.
00:34:03At the center of the moonstone.
00:34:06I followed his gaze.
00:34:08Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.
00:34:11A and K, forever.
00:34:14The moon goddess is our witness.
00:34:17My love for you will last forever too.
00:34:20I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart.
00:34:25Then I turned to him, and met his eyes.
00:34:29Eyes filled with something that looked like love.
00:34:33Will your love for me really last forever?
00:34:38A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.
00:34:42I Kane swear, swear that I will love Arya forever.
00:34:46For my entire life.
00:34:49If I break this oath, may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.
00:34:55Such a solemn vow.
00:34:57And yet, it couldn't warm a heart that had already gone cold.
00:35:02He had already broken it.
00:35:04And still, he kept acting.
00:35:08Didn't he get tired?
00:35:10I turned my face away, unwilling to look at him any longer.
00:35:15Kane seemed about to say something else, but his phone suddenly rang.
00:35:18His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer.
00:35:24When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.
00:35:29Little wolf, something urgent just came up.
00:35:32Go ahead and try the dress.
00:35:33If anything needs adjusting, just tell the staff.
00:35:36He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.
00:35:41I watched his retreating figure, a bitter thought settling in.
00:35:47Kane had never walked away from me for pack business.
00:35:49And just before he left, I had caught it.
00:35:54That flicker in his eyes.
00:35:56Raw, instinctive desire.
00:36:00Work?
00:36:01Hardly.
00:36:02He was going to see her.
00:36:05When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.
00:36:09The slight dip in the mattress.
00:36:12The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla, and lingering scent, thick with unmistakable desire.
00:36:19The thought hit me all at once.
00:36:22Kane and that beta had been here, on this bed.
00:36:25Entwined.
00:36:26My stomach twisted violently.
00:36:29I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop.
00:36:33Kane had just come back.
00:36:35The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.
00:36:40Little wolf, did you eat something bad?
00:36:42I'll call a healer right now.
00:36:46I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red.
00:36:50I'm fine, I just thought of something disgusting.
00:36:55Kane dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
00:37:02Don't think about things like that.
00:37:04Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
00:37:08I looked down at him, at the open collar of his shirt, and the marks on his skin.
00:37:15Bite marks, fresh, obvious.
00:37:18Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.
00:37:21How strong did Kane have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body, and still look at me
00:37:27like I was the only one he cared about?
00:37:30His voice grew sharper, more agitated.
00:37:43A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
00:37:48Kane, you're the one who did this to me.
00:37:51Some time deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl.
00:37:57Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.
00:38:03But the bed was empty.
00:38:05I sat up and went downstairs.
00:38:07As I reached the second floor, I heard it.
00:38:10A woman's breathless voice.
00:38:14Soft, broken.
00:38:16I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest, then walked toward the guest room.
00:38:23The door was wide open.
00:38:25Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.
00:38:31Inside, Kane was bare from the waist up.
00:38:34The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.
00:38:37The long skirt pushed up to her waist.
00:38:40Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.
00:38:43Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck, her voice unsteady.
00:38:48Alpha, the dress I just got today.
00:38:52You already torn it.
00:38:54Kane let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
00:39:01You wore it for me, didn't you?
00:39:04I even had the designer make one just for you.
00:39:08So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?
00:39:11She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
00:39:16Alpha, I can't, I can't take ache anymore.
00:39:22Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
00:39:25What if Aria sees us?
00:39:28Kane stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
00:39:32She's useless.
00:39:34She doesn't understand anything.
00:39:36Don't you dare tell her about us.
00:39:38The beta traced circles against his chest, her tone soft, almost hurt.
00:39:43I know.
00:39:44I just...
00:39:46She's about to become your mate, and I'll always have to stay hidden.
00:39:52It makes me sad.
00:39:55Kane's expression softened slightly.
00:39:58You jealous little thing.
00:40:00I already brought you into this house.
00:40:02Isn't that enough?
00:40:04Don't worry.
00:40:05Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you.
00:40:08Whatever area has, you'll have too.
00:40:12Moonlight, lit up my face, where I stood outside the door.
00:40:16I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.
00:40:22Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades, carving wound after wound into my chest.
00:40:30I turned and ran, barefoot, straight out into the rain.
00:40:36Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.
00:40:39I just needed to get away, as far away as possible.
00:40:43Through the haze, I thought I saw him, a younger Kane, the one I had once loved.
00:40:52His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.
00:40:57Little Wolf, leave him.
00:41:00Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore, and never forgive him.
00:41:05My vision burned, as I looked at that memory.
00:41:08At the Alpha, I had once given my heart to.
00:41:13Okay, I whispered.
00:41:15I will leave you, and I will never forgive you.
00:41:32Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies.
00:41:36My Alpha Kane had an affair with his mistress Beta, the day before our mating ceremony.
00:41:41He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing.
00:41:46Unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive every betrayal we uttered.
00:41:52Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.
00:41:58In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.
00:42:01The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too
00:42:07long.
00:42:08Good.
00:42:08My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.
00:42:13Rest assured, no one will question it.
00:42:16We'll simulate a death by silver.
00:42:19No wolf survives that kind of damage.
00:42:22Only then, did I let out a slow breath.
00:42:25After confirming the remaining details, I hung up, and pushed open the door to the private room.
00:42:31The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.
00:42:35Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.
00:42:39The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Kane.
00:42:44Kane, seated at the center, rose immediately.
00:42:48His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern.
00:42:53His voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.
00:42:57My little wolf, where did you go?
00:43:00I can smell fear on you.
00:43:02He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze, and forced down the
00:43:08bitterness rising in my chest.
00:43:10I shook my head.
00:43:12I'm fine.
00:43:13Let's just keep going.
00:43:15Still holding my hand, Kane led me back to my seat.
00:43:19The room gradually came back to life, until someone spoke up.
00:43:23Kane, you and your wildcat are about to seal your mate bond.
00:43:28So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?
00:43:31My nails dug into my palm.
00:43:33Being the useless one who couldn't shift, I'd long since gotten used to names like that.
00:43:39But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Kane.
00:43:47Someone beside the speaker nudged him.
00:43:50Hey, watch it.
00:43:52Your Luna's right here.
00:43:53He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.
00:43:57What's the problem?
00:43:58It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.
00:44:02I'm just curious how Kane plans to deal with his little bitch.
00:44:06All eyes turned to Kane.
00:44:08A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.
00:44:12I'll keep her.
00:44:14He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.
00:44:19She's just a pet I keep around.
00:44:21My only mate is Aria.
00:44:24He smirked faintly.
00:44:25But if my wild bot area ever found out the truth, she'd run.
00:44:29So I've kept it well hidden.
00:44:32Even after the mate bond, I won't let her find out.
00:44:37His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.
00:44:42Watch your mouths.
00:44:43If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.
00:44:48These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked them.
00:44:53If anything, they sounded amused.
00:44:57Kane's got it bad.
00:44:58Can't even let his little toy get exposed.
00:45:01Well, she can't shift.
00:45:05Someone's eyes lit up, curiosity getting the better of him.
00:45:10Kane, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at home?
00:45:18Kane chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.
00:45:23Of course, it's been wild.
00:45:28The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.
00:45:32Kane really knows how to play!
00:45:36A useless one like that? Easy to fool.
00:45:40Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.
00:45:45Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.
00:45:51Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.
00:45:55No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.
00:45:59My knuckles had gone white.
00:46:01No one knew.
00:46:02Three days ago, I had my awakening.
00:46:07And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.
00:46:11I would never complete a mate bond with Kane.
00:46:15On the day of the ceremony, the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.
00:46:21A fake one.
00:46:23Kane glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.
00:46:28My little wolf, why aren't you eating?
00:46:31I looked at him.
00:46:33At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern and forced a faint smile.
00:46:39What were you all talking about that got you so excited?
00:46:44Kane smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
00:46:49They were just saying they envy envy our bond.
00:46:52That will be the most devoted pair there is.
00:46:56Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.
00:47:00I caught every single one of them, the mockery, the cruelty.
00:47:04It burned.
00:47:07My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver, the pain sharp enough to cut through bone.
00:47:13They had been talking about him and that woman, yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.
00:47:21Kane, I never realized you could lie so easily.
00:47:25I set my silver fork down and stood. I didn't want to hear another word of it.
00:47:31The moment I moved to leave, Kane was on his feet, a flicker of panic crossing his face.
00:47:37Little wolf, what's wrong?
00:47:40I shook my head. My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.
00:47:46I'm tired. I want to go back to the pack house.
00:47:51I didn't wait for his response. I turned and walked out.
00:47:56Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.
00:48:02A mating display was playing.
00:48:04Aria, be my mate.
00:48:08The words stretched across the center in bold impossible to miss letters.
00:48:13People passing by slowed down, their voices full of envy.
00:48:37I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.
00:48:45A week ago, I would have reacted the same way.
00:48:49I would have believed in Kane's love without question.
00:48:54I was born into a declining pack.
00:48:57From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.
00:49:02Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace.
00:49:06A failure.
00:49:07Kane entered my life under those circumstances.
00:49:11He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.
00:49:16But I had seen this kind of attention before.
00:49:20Cruel games disguised as affection.
00:49:23So I avoided him.
00:49:2599 times he confessed.
00:49:2899 times I turned him down.
00:49:31Until the night the silver hunters attacked.
00:49:34He threw himself over me without hesitation.
00:49:38Even when silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move.
00:49:42He held his position, shielding me with his body.
00:49:46When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.
00:49:52And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me was reach out and gently touch my face.
00:50:00My little wolf, as long as you're safe.
00:50:03That was the moment everything changed.
00:50:06For the first time, I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking everything
00:50:13for.
00:50:14The walls around my heart cracked open for him.
00:50:18The wound from the silver never fully healed.
00:50:21It left behind a permanent circular scar.
00:50:25Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
00:50:31For five years, he never wavered.
00:50:34He treated me with the same devotion, the same care, as if I were the only one who mattered.
00:50:43Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.
00:50:49And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real.
00:50:55Something more.
00:50:56I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the mate
00:51:03ritual.
00:51:03If it failed, I would have died.
00:51:07But I survived.
00:51:08Not only that, I gained something rare.
00:51:12Empathic sense.
00:51:14I decided to keep it a secret.
00:51:16I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
00:51:20But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart.
00:51:25Through that new ability, I sensed him.
00:51:28Kane.
00:51:29Talking to his beta pet.
00:51:31Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.
00:51:37That was when I learned the truth.
00:51:39He had already betrayed our bond.
00:51:42For an entire year.
00:51:44And I had known nothing.
00:51:47A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.
00:51:54His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again.
00:51:58Even with the mate ceremony approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship.
00:52:04Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?
00:52:09The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless.
00:52:13But my mind had never been clearer.
00:52:16I would show Kane the truth.
00:52:19Lies don't last forever.
00:52:22And I would never forgive betrayal.
00:52:24I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest.
00:52:29Just as I was about to head back, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
00:52:36Kane's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.
00:52:41It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to breathe.
00:52:45Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me?
00:52:48Are you in a bad mood today?
00:52:51Then let me take you to see your mate dress.
00:52:54The custom piece just arrived.
00:52:56He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to the back of my neck,
00:53:01gently stroking the spot where his marking remained.
00:53:07I don't feel like going.
00:53:09Just pick it yourself.
00:53:11I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.
00:53:15There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.
00:53:18Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone.
00:53:21His voice softened, almost cautious.
00:53:25Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?
00:53:30Do you not want to bond with me anymore?
00:53:33I looked at him, at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.
00:53:38I almost told him the truth.
00:53:41Yes, I don't want this anymore.
00:53:44You were the one who betrayed us first.
00:53:46You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.
00:53:49You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.
00:53:54And now you're asking me why?
00:53:56But I wasn't ready to expose everything, not yet.
00:54:01At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside, an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress
00:54:08prepared in advance.
00:54:11Miss, the gown alpha Kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.
00:54:15Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.
00:54:18The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous.
00:54:23Moonstones were set into the bodice, casting a soft, sacred glow.
00:54:28Kane wrapped an arm around my waist.
00:54:30My little wolf, do you like it?
00:54:34I couldn't deny it, the design was exactly my taste.
00:54:38But no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't mend what had already been broken.
00:54:44Look closer, Kane said softly, at the center of the moonstone.
00:54:49I followed his gaze.
00:54:52Engraved deep within the gem were the letters, A and K, forever.
00:54:57The moon goddess is our witness.
00:55:01My love for you will last forever too.
00:55:04I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart.
00:55:09Then I turned to him and met his eyes, eyes filled with something that looked like love.
00:55:16Will your love for me really last forever?
00:55:21A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.
00:55:26I Kane swear, swear that I will love Arya forever.
00:55:30For my entire life.
00:55:33If I break this oath, may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.
00:55:38Such a solemn vow.
00:55:41And yet, it couldn't warm a heart, that had already gone cold.
00:55:46He had already broken it.
00:55:48And still, he kept acting.
00:55:51Didn't he get tired?
00:55:53I turned my face away, unwilling to look at him any longer.
00:55:58Kane seemed about to say something else, but his phone suddenly rang.
00:56:02His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer.
00:56:08When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.
00:56:13Little wolf, something urgent just came up.
00:56:15Go ahead and try the dress.
00:56:17If anything needs adjusting, just tell the staff.
00:56:20He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.
00:56:25I watched his retreating figure, a bitter thought settling in.
00:56:30Kane had never walked away from me for pack business.
00:56:34And just before he left, I had caught it.
00:56:37That flicker in his eyes.
00:56:40Raw, instinctive desire.
00:56:44Work?
00:56:45Hardly.
00:56:46He was going to see her.
00:56:48When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.
00:56:53The slight dip in the mattress.
00:56:55The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla, and lingering scent, thick with unmistakable desire.
00:57:02The thought hit me all at once.
00:57:05Kane and that beta had been here, on this bed.
00:57:09Entwined.
00:57:10My stomach twisted violently.
00:57:12I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop.
00:57:17Kane had just come back.
00:57:19The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.
00:57:24Little wolf, did you eat something bad?
00:57:26I'll call a healer right now.
00:57:30I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red.
00:57:34I'm fine.
00:57:35I just thought of something disgusting.
00:57:39Kane dropped to his knees beside me,
00:57:41gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
00:57:45Don't think about things like that.
00:57:48Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
00:57:52I looked down at him, at the open collar of his shirt, and the marks on his skin.
00:57:58Bite marks, fresh, obvious.
00:58:01Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.
00:58:05How strong did Kane have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body,
00:58:09and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?
00:58:14His voice grew sharper, more agitated.
00:58:18Who did this to you?
00:58:20Who made Maid?
00:58:22My little wolf like this.
00:58:24Tell me.
00:58:25I'll tear them apart.
00:58:27A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
00:58:32Kane, you're the one who did this to me.
00:58:35Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl.
00:58:41Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.
00:58:46But the bed was empty.
00:58:48I sat up and went downstairs.
00:58:51As I reached the second floor, I heard it.
00:58:54A woman's breathless voice.
00:58:57Soft, broken.
00:58:59I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest, then walked toward the guest room.
00:59:06The door was wide open.
00:59:09Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.
00:59:15Inside, Kane was bare from the waist up.
00:59:18The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.
00:59:21The long skirt pushed up to her waist.
00:59:24Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.
00:59:27Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck, her voice unsteady.
00:59:32Alpha, the dress I just got today, you already torn it.
00:59:38Kane let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
00:59:42You wore it for me, didn't you?
00:59:47I even had the designer make one just for you.
00:59:51So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?
00:59:55She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
01:00:00Alpha, I can't, I can't take ache anymore.
01:00:05Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
01:00:09What if Aria sees us?
01:00:12Kane stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
01:00:16She's useless.
01:00:17She doesn't understand anything.
01:00:19Don't you dare tell her about us.
01:00:22The beta traced circles against his chest, her tone soft, almost hurt.
01:00:27I know.
01:00:28I just…
01:00:30She's about to become your mate, and I'll always have to stay hidden.
01:00:36It makes me sad.
01:00:38Kane's expression softened slightly.
01:00:41You jealous little thing.
01:00:43I already brought you into this house.
01:00:45Isn't that enough?
01:00:47Don't worry.
01:00:49Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you.
01:00:52Whatever area has, you'll have too.
01:00:55Moonlight lit up my face, where I stood outside the door.
01:01:00I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.
01:01:06Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades, carving wound after wound into my chest.
01:01:14I turned and ran, barefoot, straight out into the rain.
01:01:19Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.
01:01:23I just needed to get away, as far away as possible.
01:01:27Through the haze, I thought I saw him, a younger Kane, the one I had once loved.
01:01:35His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.
01:01:40Little wolf, leave him.
01:01:44Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore, and never forgive him.
01:01:48My vision burned, as I looked at that memory.
01:01:52At the alpha, I had once given my heart to.
01:01:56Okay.
01:01:57I whispered.
01:01:58I will leave you, and I will never forgive you.
01:02:15Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies.
01:02:19My alpha Kane had an affair with his mistress Beta, the day before our mating ceremony.
01:02:25He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing, unaware that I had awakened,
01:02:31and could clearly perceive every betrayal we uttered.
01:02:35Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.
01:02:41In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.
01:02:45The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too
01:02:50long.
01:02:51Good.
01:02:52My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.
01:02:57Rest assured, no one will question it.
01:03:00We'll simulate a death by silver.
01:03:02No wolf survives that kind of damage.
01:03:05Only then, did I let out a slow breath.
01:03:09After confirming the remaining details, I hung up, and pushed open the door to the private room.
01:03:15The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.
01:03:18Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.
01:03:23The unmistakable mate mark left by alpha Kane.
01:03:28Kane, seated at the center, rose immediately.
01:03:32His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern.
01:03:37His voice dropped, rough with alpha authority.
01:03:40My little wolf, where did you go?
01:03:43I can smell fear on you.
01:03:46He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze, and forced down the
01:03:52bitterness rising in my chest.
01:03:54I shook my head.
01:03:56I'm fine.
01:03:57Let's just keep going.
01:03:59Still holding my hand, Kane led me back to my seat.
01:04:02The room gradually came back to life, until someone spoke up.
01:04:06Kane, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond.
01:04:11So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?
01:04:14My nails dug into my palm.
01:04:17Being the useless one who couldn't shift, I'd long since gotten used to names like that.
01:04:23But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Kane.
01:04:31Someone beside the speaker nudged him.
01:04:34Hey watch it, your Luna's right here.
01:04:37He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.
01:04:40What's the problem?
01:04:42It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.
01:04:46I'm just curious how Kane plans to deal with his little bitch.
01:04:50All eyes turned to Kane.
01:04:52A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.
01:04:56I'll keep her.
01:04:57He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.
01:05:03She's just a pet I keep around.
01:05:05My only mate is Aria.
01:05:07He smirked faintly.
01:05:09But if my wild bot area ever found out the truth, she'd run.
01:05:13So I've kept it well hidden.
01:05:16Even after the mate bond.
01:05:18I won't let her find out.
01:05:20His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.
01:05:25Watch your mouths.
01:05:27If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.
01:05:32These were all dominant alphas from the same circle.
01:05:35And none of this shocked them.
01:05:37If anything, they sounded amused.
01:05:40Kane's got it bad.
01:05:42Can't even let his little toy get exposed.
01:05:44Well, she can't shift.
01:05:46She figured she'd be fragile.
01:05:49Someone's eyes lit up.
01:05:51Curiosity getting the better of him.
01:05:53Kane, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at home?
01:06:02Kane chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.
01:06:07Of course.
01:06:09It's been wild.
01:06:12The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.
01:06:16Kane really knows how to play!
01:06:19A useless one like that?
01:06:21Easy to fool.
01:06:23Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.
01:06:29Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.
01:06:34They're laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.
01:06:39No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.
01:06:42My knuckles had gone white.
01:06:44No one knew.
01:06:46Three days ago, I had my awakening.
01:06:51And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.
01:06:55I would never complete a mate bond with Kane.
01:06:58On the day of the ceremony,
01:07:00the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.
01:07:05A fake one.
01:07:06Kane glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.
01:07:11My little wolf, why aren't you eating?
01:07:15I looked at him.
01:07:16At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern,
01:07:21and forced a faint smile.
01:07:24What were you all talking about that got you so excited?
01:07:26Kane smiled softly, and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
01:07:33They were just saying they envy envy our bond.
01:07:35That will be the most devoted pair there is.
01:07:40Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.
01:07:43I caught every single one of them, the mockery, the cruelty.
01:07:48It burned.
01:07:50My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver.
01:07:54The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.
01:07:57They had been talking about him and that woman,
01:08:00yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.
01:08:04Kane, I never realized you could lie so easily.
01:08:09I set my silver fork down and stood. I didn't want to hear another word of it.
01:08:14The moment I moved to leave, Kane was on his feet, a flicker of panic crossing his face.
01:08:21Little wolf, what's wrong?
01:08:24I shook my head. My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.
01:08:30I'm tired. I want to go back to the pack house.
01:08:34I didn't wait for his response. I turned and walked out.
01:08:39Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.
01:08:45A mating display was playing.
01:08:48Aria, be my mate.
01:08:51The words stretched across the center in bold, impossible to miss letters.
01:08:57People passing by slowed down, their voices full of envy.
01:09:04Oh my god, I heard Alpha Kane's girl can't shift, so he rented the biggest screen in the city
01:09:09just so she could clearly see the words, be my mate.
01:09:12That's insanely romantic.
01:09:15He treats that girl so well.
01:09:17After the mate bond, he's going to be the perfect alpha.
01:09:22I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.
01:09:28A week ago, I would have reacted the same way.
01:09:33I would have believed in Kane's love without question.
01:09:37I was born into a declining pack.
01:09:41From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.
01:09:45Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace.
01:09:49A failure.
01:09:51Kane entered my life under those circumstances.
01:09:54He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.
01:09:59But I had seen this kind of attention before.
01:10:03Cruel games disguised as affection.
01:10:06So I avoided him.
01:10:0899 times he confessed.
01:10:1199 times I turned him down.
01:10:15Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked.
01:10:18He threw himself over me without hesitation.
01:10:21Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move.
01:10:26He held his position, shielding me with his body.
01:10:30When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.
01:10:36And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me was reach out and gently touch my face.
01:10:43My little wolf, as long as you're safe.
01:10:47That was the moment everything changed.
01:10:50For the first time, I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking everything
01:10:57for.
01:10:57The walls around my heart cracked open for him.
01:11:01The wound from the Silver never fully healed.
01:11:05It left behind a permanent circular scar.
01:11:08Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
01:11:15For five years, he never wavered.
01:11:18He treated me with the same devotion, the same care, as if I were the only one who mattered.
01:11:27Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.
01:11:33And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real.
01:11:38Something more.
01:11:40I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the mate
01:11:46ritual.
01:11:47If it failed, I would have died.
01:11:50But I survived.
01:11:52Not only that, I gained something rare.
01:11:56Empathic sense.
01:11:57I decided to keep it a secret.
01:12:00I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
01:12:04But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart.
01:12:09Through that new ability, I sensed him.
01:12:12Kane.
01:12:13Talking to his beta pet.
01:12:15Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.
01:12:21That was when I learned the truth.
01:12:23He had already betrayed our bond.
01:12:26For an entire year.
01:12:27And I had known nothing.
01:12:30A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.
01:12:37His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again.
01:12:42Even with the mate ceremony approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship.
01:12:48Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?
01:12:53The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless.
01:12:57But my mind had never been clearer.
01:13:00I would show Kane the truth.
01:13:02Lies don't last forever.
01:13:05And I would never forgive betrayal.
01:13:07I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest.
01:13:12Just as I was about to head back, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
01:13:19Kane's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.
01:13:24It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to breathe.
01:13:29Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me?
01:13:32Are you in a bad mood today?
01:13:34Then let me take you to see your mate dress.
01:13:37The custom piece just arrived.
01:13:40He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to the back of my neck, gently stroking the spot
01:13:46where his marking remained.
01:13:51I don't feel like going.
01:13:52Just pick it yourself.
01:13:55I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.
01:13:58There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.
01:14:02Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone.
01:14:05His voice softened, almost cautious.
01:14:09Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?
01:14:14Do you not want to bond with me anymore?
01:14:17I looked at him, at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.
01:14:22I almost told him the truth.
01:14:24Yes, I don't want this anymore.
01:14:27You were the one who betrayed us first.
01:14:30You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.
01:14:33You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.
01:14:37And now you're asking me why?
01:14:40But I wasn't ready to expose everything, not yet.
01:14:45At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside, an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress
01:14:52prepared in advance.
01:14:54Miss, the gown alpha Kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.
01:14:58Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.
01:15:02The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous.
01:15:06Moonstones were set into the bodice, casting a soft, sacred glow.
01:15:12Kane wrapped an arm around my waist.
01:15:14My little wolf, do you like it?
01:15:17I couldn't deny it.
01:15:19The design was exactly my taste.
01:15:22But no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't mend what had already been broken.
01:15:28Look closer, Kane said softly.
01:15:31At the center of the moonstone.
01:15:33I followed his gaze.
01:15:35Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.
01:15:38A and K, forever.
01:15:41The moon goddess is our witness.
01:15:44My love for you will last forever, too.
01:15:47I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart.
01:15:52Then I turned to him, and met his eyes.
01:15:56Eyes filled with something that looked like love.
01:16:00Will your love for me really last forever?
01:16:05A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.
01:16:09I Kane, swear, swear that I will love Arya forever.
01:16:14For my entire life.
01:16:16If I break this oath, may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.
01:16:22Such a solemn vow.
01:16:24And yet, it couldn't warm a heart that had already gone cold.
01:16:30He had already broken it.
01:16:32And still, he kept acting.
01:16:35Didn't he get tired?
01:16:37I turned my face away.
01:16:39Unwilling to look at him any longer.
01:16:42Kane seemed about to say something else.
01:16:44But his phone suddenly rang.
01:16:46His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer.
01:16:51When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.
01:16:56Little wolf, something urgent just came up.
01:16:59Go ahead and try the dress.
01:17:01If anything needs adjusting, just tell the staff.
01:17:04He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.
01:17:09I watched his retreating figure, a bitter thought settling in.
01:17:14Kane had never walked away from me for pack business.
01:17:17And just before he left, I had caught it.
01:17:21That flicker in his eyes.
01:17:23Raw, instinctive desire.
01:17:27Work?
01:17:28Hardly.
01:17:29He was going to see her.
01:17:32When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.
01:17:36The slight dip in the mattress.
01:17:39The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla, and lingering scent, thick with unmistakable desire.
01:17:46The thought hit me all at once.
01:17:49Kane and that beta had been here, on this bed.
01:17:53Entwined.
01:17:54My stomach twisted violently.
01:17:56I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop.
01:18:01Kane had just come back.
01:18:02The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.
01:18:07Little wolf, did you eat something bad?
01:18:10I'll call a healer right now.
01:18:14I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red.
01:18:17I'm fine.
01:18:18I just thought of something disgusting.
01:18:22Kane dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
01:18:29Don't think about things like that.
01:18:32Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
01:18:35I looked down at him, at the open collar of his shirt, and the marks on his skin.
01:18:42Bite marks, fresh, obvious.
01:18:45Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.
01:18:48How strong did Kane have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body,
01:18:53and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?
01:18:57His voice grew sharper, more agitated.
01:19:02Who did this to you?
01:19:03Who made Maid, my little wolf like this?
01:19:08Tell me, I'll tear them apart.
01:19:11A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
01:19:15Kane, you're the one who did this to me.
01:19:19Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl.
01:19:24Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.
01:19:30But the bed was empty.
01:19:32I sat up and went downstairs.
01:19:34As I reached the second floor, I heard it.
01:19:38A woman's breathless voice.
01:19:41Soft, broken.
01:19:43I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest, then walked toward the guest room.
01:19:50The door was wide open.
01:19:52Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.
01:19:58Inside, Kane was bare from the waist up.
01:20:01The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.
01:20:04The long skirt pushed up to her waist.
01:20:07Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.
01:20:10Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck, her voice unsteady.
01:20:15Alpha, the dress I just got today, you already torn it.
01:20:21Kane let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
01:20:26You wore it for me, didn't you?
01:20:31I even had the designer make one just for you.
01:20:35So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?
01:20:38She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
01:20:43Alpha, I can't, I can't take ache anymore.
01:20:48Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
01:20:53What if Aria sees us?
01:20:55Kane stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
01:20:59She's useless.
01:21:01She doesn't understand anything.
01:21:03Don't you dare tell her about us.
01:21:05The beta traced circles against his chest, her tone soft, almost hurt.
01:21:11I know.
01:21:12I just…
01:21:14She's about to become your mate.
01:21:16And I'll always have to stay hidden.
01:21:19It makes me sad.
01:21:22Kane's expression softened slightly.
01:21:25You jealous little thing.
01:21:27I already brought you into this house.
01:21:29Isn't that enough?
01:21:31Don't worry.
01:21:32Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you.
01:21:35Whatever area has, you'll have too.
01:21:39Moonlight lit up my face, where I stood outside the door.
01:21:43I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.
01:21:49Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades, carving wound after wound into my chest.
01:21:57I turned and ran, barefoot, straight out into the rain.
01:22:03Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.
01:22:06I just needed to get away, as far away as possible.
01:22:11Through the haze, I thought I saw him.
01:22:13A younger Kane.
01:22:15The one I had once loved.
01:22:18His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.
01:22:24Little wolf, leave him.
01:22:27Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore.
01:22:30And never forgive him.
01:22:32My vision burned, as I looked at that memory.
01:22:35At the alpha, I had once given my heart to.
01:22:40Okay, I whispered.
01:22:42I will leave you, and I will never forgive you.
01:22:53Stand to me.
01:22:57So great.
01:22:59You
