Transcript
00:00:04five years into our marriage it all turned out to be lies my alpha kane had an affair with his
00:00:10mistress beta the day before our mating ceremony he assumed i being a wolfless wretch couldn't
00:00:17hear a thing unaware that i had awakened and could clearly perceive every betrayal we uttered
00:00:25luna we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested
00:00:30in 10 days your death will be revealed at mate ceremony the voice on the other end finally took
00:00:36the edge off the anger i'd been holding back for far too long good my voice came out low a
00:00:43restrained
00:00:43edge of something feral beneath it rest assured no one will question it we'll simulate a death by
00:00:50silver no wolf survives that kind of damage only then did i let out a slow breath after confirming
00:00:59the remaining details i hung up and pushed open the door to the private room the noise inside died the
00:01:06instant i stepped in every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me the unmistakable
00:01:14mate mark left by alpha kane kane seated at the center rose immediately his long fingers closed around
00:01:23my hand his eyes filled with concern his voice dropped rough with alpha authority my little wolf
00:01:31where did you go i can smell fear on you he started to pull me away but i caught the
00:01:38possessiveness in his
00:01:39gaze and forced down the bitterness rising in my chest i shook my head i'm fine let's just keep going
00:01:47still holding my hand kane led me back to my seat the room gradually came back to life until someone
00:01:55spoke up kane you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond so what are you planning
00:02:02to do with
00:02:02your little beta pet my nails dug into my palm being the useless one who couldn't shift i'd long since
00:02:10gotten used to names like that but i could still clearly smell another woman's scent lingering on kane
00:02:20someone beside the speaker nudged him hey watch it your luna's right here he just shrugged completely
00:02:28unconcerned what's the problem it's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language
00:02:34anyway i'm just curious how kane plans to deal with his little bitch all eyes turned to kane a flicker
00:02:42of
00:02:42disdain passed through his gaze i'll keep her he peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing
00:02:51casually she's just a pet i keep around my only mate is aria he smirked faintly but if my wild
00:02:59bot area
00:03:00ever found out the truth she'd run so i've kept it well hidden even after the mate bond i won't
00:03:08let her
00:03:08find out his gaze swept across the room a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air watch your mouths
00:03:16if anyone slips up in front of her i'll tear you apart these were all dominant alphas from the same
00:03:24circle and none of this shocked them if anything they sounded amused kane's got it bad can't even let
00:03:32his little toy get exposed well she can't shift figures she'd be fragile someone's eyes lit up curiosity
00:03:40getting the better of him kane if area can't sense anything then you and that beta pet have you ever
00:03:50you know at home kane chuckled idly spinning the ring on his finger of course it's been wild the room
00:04:02erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls kane really knows how to play
00:04:08a useless one like that easy to fool bet 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 no one noticed how tightly i was gripping
00:04:30my silver fork my knuckles had gone white no one knew three days ago i had my awakening
00:04:40and no one knew that i had already decided to leave i would never complete a mate bond with kane
00:04:48on the day of the ceremony the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse
00:04:54a fake one kane glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me my little wolf why
00:05:02aren't you eating i looked at him at the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted
00:05:09concern and forced a faint smile what were you all talking about that got you so excited
00:05:16kane smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand they were just saying they envy
00:05:23envy our bond that will be the most devoted pair there is inside the private room people exchanged
00:05:32knowing looks i caught every single one of them the mockery the cruelty it burned
00:05:39my heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver the pain sharp enough to cut through bone
00:05:46they had been talking about him and that woman yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had
00:05:54kane i never realized you could lie so easily i set my silver fork down and stood i didn't want
00:06:02to hear
00:06:02another word of it the moment i moved to leave kane was on his feet a flicker of panic crossing
00:06:09his face
00:06:10little wolf what's wrong i shook my head my voice came out soft barely more than a breath
00:06:19i'm tired i want to go back to the pack house i didn't wait for his response i turned and
00:06:27walked out
00:06:28out on the street i looked up and saw the massive led screen across the road a mating display was
00:06:36playing
00:06:37aria be my mate the 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 kane'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 that's insanely romantic
00:07:04he treats that girl so well after 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 a week ago i
00:07:20would
00:07:20have reacted the same way i would have believed in kane's love without question
00:07:26i was born into a declining pack from the moment i came into this world i couldn't shift among the
00:07:35werewolf kind that made me a disgrace a failure kane entered my life under those circumstances he
00:07:45claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly but i had seen this kind of attention
00:07:51before cruel games disguised as affection so i avoided him 99 times he confessed 99 times i turned him down
00:08:04until the night the silver hunters attacked he threw himself over me without hesitation even when silver
00:08:12pierced straight through his shoulder blade he didn't move he 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
00:08:26and 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 for the first time i believed that even someone like me
00:08:42someone who couldn't shift could be worth risking everything for the walls around my heart cracked open
00:08:49for him the wound from the silver never fully healed it 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 he treated me with the same devotion the same care
00:09:11as 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 something more
00:09:29i risked my life to undergo blood awakening just so i could truly experience his wild side during the
00:09:35mate ritual if it failed i would have died but i survived not only that i gained something rare empathic
00:09:46sense i decided to keep it a secret i wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony
00:09:53but on the very day i awakened everything fell apart through that new ability i sensed him
00:10:00pain talking to his beta pet their voices were intimate careless filled with open flirtation
00:10:10that was when i learned the truth he had already betrayed our bond for an entire year and i had
00:10:18known
00:10:18nothing a sharp pain twisted through my chest forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself
00:10:27his words from earlier echoed in my mind over and over again even with the mate ceremony approaching
00:10:33he had no intention of ending that relationship did he really think i was so worthless that he could
00:10:40deceive me forever the winter wind cut through me cold and merciless but my mind had never been clearer
00:10:49i would show kane the truth lies don't last forever and i would never forgive betrayal i took a slow
00:10:58breath
00:10:59forcing down the ache in my chest just as i was about to head back a pair of strong arms
00:11:06wrapped around me
00:11:07from behind kane's scent surrounded me at once rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness it pressed in
00:11:15from all sides leaving no space to breathe little wolf why didn't you wait for me are you in a
00:11:22bad mood
00:11:22today then let me take you to see your mate dress the custom piece just arrived he pulled me into
00:11:30his arms
00:11:31his hands sliding up to the back of my neck gently stroking the spot where his marking remained
00:11:40i don't feel like going just pick it yourself i would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony
00:11:47there was no reason for me to wear a mate dress kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone
00:11:54his voice
00:11:55softened almost cautious little 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 i looked at him at the flicker of panic in his
00:12:10alpha eyes
00:12:11i almost told him the truth yes i don't want this anymore you were the one who betrayed us first
00:12:19you were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt you were the one who destroyed any anticipation
00:12:24i had for that ceremony and now you're asking me why but 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 mate
00:12:41dress prepared in advance miss the gown alpha kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived
00:12:48please let us know if you'd like any alterations the dress was pure white flowing and luminous
00:12:55moon stones were set into the bodice casting a soft sacred glow kane wrapped an arm around my waist
00:13:03my little wolf do you like it i couldn't deny it the design was exactly my taste but no matter
00:13:12how
00:13:12beautiful it was it couldn't mend what had already been broken look closer kane said softly at the center
00:13:20of the moonstone i followed his gaze engraved deep within the gem were the letters a and k forever
00:13:30the moon goddess is our witness my love for you will last forever too i stared at the stone at
00:13:39the tiny
00:13:39letters carved into its heart then i turned to him and met his eyes eyes filled with something that looked
00:13:47like love will your love for me really last forever a flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered
00:13:58quickly i kane swear swear that i will love aria forever for my entire life if i break this oath
00:14:07may
00:14:08the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit such a solemn vow and yet it couldn't warm a heart
00:14:16that had
00:14:17already gone cold he had already broken it and still he kept acting didn't he get tired
00:14:26i turned my face away unwilling to look at him any longer kane seemed about to say something else but
00:14:34his phone suddenly rang his expression shifted just slightly before he stepped aside to answer when he
00:14:41returned there was a trace of apology on his face little wolf something urgent just came up go ahead and
00:14:49try the dress if anything needs adjusting just tell the staff he left in a hurry not even waiting for
00:14:56a
00:14:56response i watched his retreating figure a bitter thought settling in kane had never walked away from me for
00:15:05pack business and just before he left i had caught it that flicker in his eyes raw instinctive desire
00:15:17work hardly hardly he was going to see her when i returned to the pack house i immediately felt it
00:15:26the slight dip in the mattress the air carried a cloying mix of vanilla and lingering scent thick with
00:15:33unmistakable desire the thought hit me all at once kane and that beta had been here on this bed entwined
00:15:43my stomach twisted violently i rushed into the bathroom and threw up unable to stop
00:15:50kane had just come back the moment he saw me like that panic flashed across his face
00:15:56little wolf did you eat something bad i'll call a healer right now
00:16:03i grabbed his wrist my eyes still red i'm fine i 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 seeing 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 bite marks
00:16:32fresh obvious
00:16:34another wave of nausea rose in my throat how strong did kane have to be to carry another woman's marks
00:16:41on
00:16:42his body and still look at me like i was the only one he cared about his voice grew sharper
00:16:48more agitated
00:16:51who did this to you who made made my little wolf like this tell me i'll tear them apart
00:17:00a bitter smile tugged at my lips kane you're the one who did this to me sometime deep into the
00:17:09night
00:17:10i woke to the sound of a low restrained growl
00:17:13half asleep i reached out instinctively searching for the alpha beside me but the bed was empty
00:17:21i sat up and went downstairs as i reached the second floor i heard it a woman's breathless voice
00:17:30soft broken i froze for a second forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest then walked toward
00:17:38the guest room the door was wide open moonlight spilled across the room illuminating two bodies
00:17:45tangled together inside kane was bare from the waist up the beta wore a strapless mermaid gown the long
00:17:54skirt pushed up to her waist her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him her cheeks were flushed
00:18:01as she clung to his neck her voice unsteady alpha the dress i just got today you already torn it
00:18:10kane let
00:18:11out a low chuckle leaning in close to her ear his voice rough you you wore it for me didn't
00:18:19you
00:18:20i even had the designer make one just for you so tonight shouldn't you be satisfying me
00:18:27she clung to him her voice breaking hoarse alpha i can't i can't take ache anymore then breathless she
00:18:40tilted her head back what if area sees us kane stilled his expression turning cold as he cut her off
00:18:49she's useless she doesn't understand anything don't you dare tell her about us the beta trace circles
00:18:56against his chest her tone soft almost hurt i know i just she's about to become your mate
00:19:05and i'll always have to stay hidden it makes me sad kane's expression softened slightly you jealous little
00:19:15thing i already brought you into this house isn't that enough don't worry even after the mate bond
00:19:23i won't leave you whatever area has you'll have to moonlight lit up my face where i stood outside the
00:19:32door i covered my mouth but the tears were already falling blurring everything every sound from inside
00:19:40the room pierced into me like silver blades carving wound after wound into my chest
00:19:46i turned and ran barefoot straight out into the rain cold water soaked through me but i didn't stop
00:19:55i just needed to get away as far away as possible through the haze i thought i saw him
00:20:03a younger cane the one i had once loved his eyes were clear sincere filled with something real
00:20:13little wolf leave him leave the man who doesn't love you anymore and never forgive him my vision burned
00:20:22as i looked at that memory at the alpha i had once given my heart to okay i whispered i
00:20:31will leave you
00:20:43five years into our marriage it all turned out to be lies my alpha kane had an affair with his
00:20:49mistress beta the day before our mating ceremony he assumed i being a wolfless wretch couldn't hear a thing
00:20:57unaware that i had awakened and could clearly perceive every betrayal he uttered luna we've
00:21:04prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested in 10 days your
00:21:11death will be revealed at mate ceremony the voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger
00:21:16i'd been holding back for far too long good my voice came out low a restrained edge of something feral
00:21:23beneath it rest assured no one will question it will simulate a death by silver no wolf survives that
00:21:31kind of damage only then did i let out a slow breath after confirming the remaining details i hung up
00:21:40and
00:21:40pushed open the door to the private room the noise inside died the instant i stepped in every wolf there
00:21:48could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me the unmistakable mate mark left by alpha kane
00:21:55kane seated at the center rose immediately his long fingers closed around my hand his eyes filled with
00:22:04concern his voice dropped rough with alpha authority my little wolf where did you go i can smell fear on
00:22:13you
00:22:13he started to pull me away but i caught the possessiveness in his gaze and forced down the
00:22:19bitterness rising in my chest i shook my head i'm fine let's just keep going still holding my hand kane
00:22:29led me back to my seat the room gradually came back to life until someone spoke up kane you and
00:22:36your wild
00:22:37cat are about to seal your mate bond so what are you planning to do with your little beta pet
00:22:42my nails
00:22:43dug into my palm being the useless one who couldn't shift i'd long since gotten used to names like that
00:22:50but i could still clearly smell another woman's scent lingering on kane
00:22:58someone beside the speaker nudged him
00:23:02hey watch it your luna's right here he just shrugged completely unconcerned what's the problem
00:23:10it's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway i'm just curious
00:23:15how kane plans to deal with his little bitch all eyes turned to kane a flicker of disdain passed through
00:23:22his gaze i'll keep her he peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually
00:23:31she's just a pet i keep around my only mate is aria he smirked faintly but if my wild bot
00:23:38area ever
00:23:39found out the truth she'd run so i've kept it well hidden even after the mate bond i won't let
00:23:47her
00:23:47find out his gaze swept across the room a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air watch your mouths
00:23:55if anyone slips up in front of her i'll tear you apart these were all dominant alphas from the same
00:24:02circle and none of this shocked them if anything they sounded amused kane's got it bad can't even let
00:24:10his little toy get exposed well she can't shift figures she'd be fragile someone's eyes lit up curiosity
00:24:19getting the better of him kane if area can't sense anything then you and that beta pet have you ever
00:24:28you know at home kane chuckled idly spinning the ring on his finger of course it's been wild the room
00:24:40erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls kane really knows how to play
00:24:47a useless one like that easy to fool bet the whole place is covered in your mess
00:24:56man i'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out
00:25:02their laughter cut through the room sharp and vicious no one noticed how tightly i was gripping
00:25:09my silver fork my knuckles had gone white no one knew three days ago i had my awakening
00:25:19and no one knew that i had already decided to leave i would never complete a mate bond with kane
00:25:26on the day of the ceremony the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse a fake
00:25:33one
00:25:34kane glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me my little wolf why aren't you
00:25:41eating i looked at him at the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern
00:25:49and forced a faint smile what were you all talking about that got you so excited kane smiled softly and
00:25:57pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand they were just saying they envy envy our bond that
00:26:04will
00:26:04be the most devoted pair there is inside the private room people exchanged knowing looks i caught every
00:26:12single one of them the mockery the cruelty it burned my heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid
00:26:21silver
00:26:22the pain sharp enough to cut through bone they had been talking about him and that woman yet somehow
00:26:29twisted it into admiration for what we had kane i never realized you could lie so easily
00:26:36i set my silver fork down and stood i didn't want to hear another word of it the moment i
00:26:43moved to
00:26:44leave kane was on his feet a flicker of panic crossing his face little wolf what's wrong i shook my
00:26:53head
00:26:53my voice came out soft barely more than a breath i'm tired i want to go back to the pack
00:27:02house i didn't
00:27:03wait for his response i turned and walked out out on the street i looked up and saw the massive
00:27:11led
00:27:11screen across the road a mating display was playing aria be my mate the words stretched across the center
00:27:21in bold impossible to miss letters people passing by slowed down their voices full of envy
00:27:31oh my god i heard alpha kane's girl can't shift so he rented the biggest screen in the city just
00:27:37so
00:27:37she could clearly see the words be my mate that's insanely romantic he treats that girl so well after
00:27:46the mate bond he's going to be the perfect alpha i stood there the subject of their admiration and let
00:27:54out a quiet self-mocking smile a week ago i would have reacted the same way i would have believed
00:28:02in
00:28:02kane's love without question i was born into a declining pack from the moment i came into this world i
00:28:11couldn't shift among the werewolf kind that made me a disgrace a failure kane entered my life under those
00:28:21circumstances he claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly but i had seen this
00:28:29kind of attention before cruel games disguised as affection so i avoided him 99 times he confessed 99
00:28:40times i turned him down until the night the silver hunters attacked he threw himself over me without
00:28:48hesitation even when silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade he didn't move he held his
00:28:55position shielding me with his body when he woke up in the hospital his condition was so weak he could
00:29:02barely maintain human form and yet the first thing he did when he saw me was reach out and gently
00:29:09touch my
00:29:09face my little wolf as long as you're safe that was the moment everything changed for the first time i
00:29:19believed that even someone like me someone who couldn't shift could be worth risking everything for
00:29:25the walls around my heart cracked open for him the wound from the silver never fully healed it left behind
00:29:34a
00:29:34permanent circular scar every time i saw it my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to
00:29:41love for five years he never wavered he treated me with the same devotion the same care as if i
00:29:50were the only
00:29:51one who mattered even when the pack opposed us he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate
00:30:00and for that upcoming ceremony i wanted to give him something real something more i risked my life
00:30:09to undergo blood awakening just so i could truly experience his wild side during the mate ritual
00:30:15if it failed i would have died but i survived not only that i gained something rare empathic sense
00:30:25i decided to keep it a secret i wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony
00:30:32but on the very day i awakened everything fell apart through that new ability i sensed him
00:30:40kane talking to his beta pet their voices were intimate careless filled with open flirtation
00:30:48that was when i learned the truth he had already betrayed our bond for an entire year and i had
00:30:56known
00:30:57nothing a sharp pain twisted through my chest forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself
00:31:05his words from earlier echoed in my mind over and over again even with the mate ceremony approaching he
00:31:13had no intention of ending that relationship did he really think i was so worthless that he could
00:31:19deceive me forever the winter wind cut through me cold and merciless but my mind had never been clearer
00:31:28i would show kane the truth lies don't last forever and i would never forgive betrayal
00:31:35i took a slow breath forcing down the ache in my chest just as i was about to head back
00:31:42a pair of
00:31:43strong arms wrapped around me from behind kane's scent surrounded me at once rich with cedar and thick
00:31:51with possessiveness it pressed in from all sides leaving no space to breathe little wolf why didn't you
00:31:58wait for me are you in a bad mood today then let me take you to see your mate dress
00:32:04the custom piece
00:32:06just arrived he pulled me into his arms his hands sliding up to the back of my neck gently stroking
00:32:13the spot where his marking remained i don't feel like going just pick it yourself i would be gone on
00:32:24the
00:32:24day of the mate ceremony there was no reason for me to wear a mate dress kane seemed to sense
00:32:31the
00:32:31distance in my tone his voice softened almost cautious little wolf why does it feel like you're not
00:32:40excited about the mate bond at all do you not want to bond with me anymore i looked at him
00:32:46at the flicker
00:32:47of panic in his alpha eyes i almost told him the truth yes i don't want this anymore you were
00:32:56the one
00:32:56who betrayed us first you were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt you were the one who
00:33:01destroyed
00:33:02any anticipation i had for that ceremony and now you're asking me why but i wasn't ready to expose
00:33:10everything not yet at the dress boutique the moment we stepped inside an attendant drew back a curtain
00:33:18to reveal the mate dress prepared in advance miss the gown alpha kane had blessed by the moon goddess
00:33:25has arrived please let us know if you'd like any alterations the dress was pure white flowing and
00:33:33luminous moon stones were set into the bodice casting a soft sacred glow kane wrapped an arm around my waist
00:33:42my little wolf do you like it i couldn't deny it the design was exactly my taste but no matter
00:33:51how
00:33:51beautiful it was it couldn't mend what had already been broken look closer kane said softly at the center
00:33:59of the moon stone i followed his gaze engraved deep within the gem were the letters a and k forever
00:34:09the moon goddess is our witness my love for you will last forever too i stared at the stone at
00:34:17the tiny
00:34:18letters carved into its heart then i turned to him and met his eyes eyes filled with something that looked
00:34:26like love will your love for me really last forever a flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered
00:34:36quickly i kane swear swear that i will love aria forever for my entire life if i break this oath
00:34:46may
00:34:47the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit such a solemn vow and yet it couldn't warm a heart
00:34:55that had already gone cold he had already broken it and still he kept acting didn't he get tired
00:35:05i turned my face away unwilling to look at him any longer kane seemed about to say something else
00:35:12but his phone suddenly rang his expression shifted just slightly before he stepped aside to answer
00:35:18when he returned there was a trace of apology on his face little wolf something urgent just came up go
00:35:27ahead and try the dress if anything needs adjusting just tell the staff he left in a hurry not even
00:35:34waiting for a response i watched his retreating figure a bitter thought settling in kane had never
00:35:42walked away from me for pack business and just before he left i had caught it that flicker in his
00:35:50eyes
00:35:51raw instinctive desire work hardly he was going to see her when i returned to the pack house i immediately
00:36:03felt it the slight dip in the mattress the air carried a cloying mix of vanilla and lingering scent thick
00:36:12with unmistakable desire the thought hit me all at once kane and that beta had been here on this bed
00:36:20entwined entwined my stomach twisted violently i rushed into the bathroom and threw up unable to stop
00:36:28kane had just come back the moment he saw me like that panic flashed across his face
00:36:35little wolf did you eat something bad i'll call a healer right now
00:36:41i grabbed his wrist my eyes still red i'm fine i just thought of something disgusting
00:36:50kane dropped to his knees beside me gently patting my back his expression full of distress
00:36:57don't think about things like that seeing you like this it hurts me too i look down at him
00:37:05at the open collar of his shirt and the marks on his skin bite marks fresh obvious another wave of
00:37:14nausea rose in my throat how strong did kane have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body
00:37:21and still look at me like i was the only one he cared about his voice grew sharper more agitated
00:37:29who did this to you who made made my little wolf like this tell me i'll tear them apart
00:37:38a bitter smile tugged at my lips kane you're the one who did this to me sometime deep into the
00:37:48night
00:37:48i woke to the sound of a low restrained growl half asleep i reached out instinctively searching for the
00:37:56alpha beside me but the bed was empty i sat up and went downstairs as i reached the second floor
00:38:04i heard
00:38:05it a woman's breathless voice soft broken i froze for a second forcing down the sharp ache rising in my
00:38:15chest then walked toward the guest room the door was wide open moonlight spilled across the room
00:38:22illuminating two bodies tangled together inside kane was bare from the waist up the beta wore a strapless
00:38:31mermaid gown the long skirt pushed up to her waist her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him
00:38:39her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck her voice unsteady alpha the dress i just got today
00:38:47you already torn it kane let out a low chuckle leaning in close to her ear his voice rough
00:38:54you wore it for me didn't you i even had the designer make one just for you
00:39:02so tonight shouldn't you be satisfying me she clung to him her voice breaking horse
00:39:10alpha i can't i can't take ache anymore then breathless she tilted her head back
00:39:21what if area sees us kane stilled his expression turning cold as he cut her off
00:39:27she's useless she doesn't understand anything don't you dare tell her about us
00:39:33the beta trace circles against his chest her tone soft almost hurt i know i just
00:39:41she's about to become your mate and i'll always have to stay hidden
00:39:47it makes me sad kane's expression softened slightly you jealous little thing i already brought you into this
00:39:56house isn't that enough don't worry even after the mate bond i won't leave you whatever area has
00:40:05you'll have two moonlight lit up my face where i stood outside the door i covered my mouth but the
00:40:13tears were already falling blurring everything every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver
00:40:21blades carving wound after wound into my chest i turned and ran barefoot straight out into the rain
00:40:31cold water soaked through me but i didn't stop i just needed to get away as far away as possible
00:40:38through
00:40:39the haze i thought i saw him a younger kane the one i had once loved his eyes were clear
00:40:48sincere
00:40:49filled with something real little wolf leave him leave the man who doesn't love you anymore
00:40:58and never forgive him my vision burned as i looked at that memory at the alpha i had once given
00:41:06my heart
00:41:06to okay i whispered i will leave you and i will never forgive you
00:41:22five years into our marriage it all turned out to be lies my alpha kane had an affair with his
00:41:27mistress beta the day before our mating ceremony he assumed i being a wolfless wretch couldn't hear a
00:41:35thing unaware that i had awakened and could clearly perceive every betrayal we uttered
00:41:42luna we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested
00:41:47in 10 days your death will be revealed at mate ceremony the voice on the other end finally took
00:41:54the edge off the anger i'd been holding back for far too long good my voice came out low a
00:42:00restrained
00:42:01edge of something feral beneath it rest assured no one will question it will simulate a death by silver
00:42:09no wolf survives that kind of damage only then did i let out a slow breath after confirming the
00:42:16remaining details i hung up and pushed open the door to the private room the noise inside died the instant
00:42:24i
00:42:24stepped in every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me the unmistakable mate mark left
00:42:32by alpha kane kane seated at the center rose immediately his long fingers closed around my hand his eyes
00:42:42filled with concern his voice dropped rough with alpha authority my little wolf where did you go
00:42:50i can smell fear on you he started to pull me away but i caught the possessiveness in his gaze
00:42:57and forced
00:42:58down the bitterness rising in my chest i shook my head i'm fine let's just keep going still holding my
00:43:06hand kane led me back to my seat the room gradually came back to life until someone spoke up kane
00:43:14you and
00:43:15your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond so what are you planning to do with your little
00:43:20beta pet
00:43:20my nails dug into my palm being the useless one who couldn't shift i'd long since gotten used to
00:43:28names like that but i could still clearly smell another woman's scent lingering on kane
00:43:37someone beside the speaker nudged him
00:43:40hey watch it your luna's right here he just shrugged completely unconcerned what's the problem
00:43:48it's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway i'm just curious
00:43:53how kane plans to deal with his little bitch all eyes turned to kane a flicker of disdain passed
00:44:01through his gaze i'll keep her he peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually
00:44:09she's just a pet i keep around my only mate is aria he smirked faintly but if my wild bot
00:44:17area ever
00:44:17found out the truth she'd run so i've kept it well hidden even after the mate bond i won't let
00:44:25her
00:44:26find out his gaze swept across the room a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air watch your mouths
00:44:33if anyone slips up in front of her i'll tear you apart these were all dominant alphas from the same
00:44:41circle and none of this shocked them if anything they sounded amused kane's got it bad can't even let
00:44:49his little toy get exposed well she can't shift figures she'd be fragile someone's eyes lit up curiosity
00:44:57getting the better of him kane if area can't sense anything then you and that beta pet have you ever
00:45:07you know at home kane chuckled idly spinning the ring on his finger of course it's been wild the room
00:45:19erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls kane really knows how to play
00:45:26a useless one like that easy to fool bet the whole place is covered in your mess
00:45:35man i'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out
00:45:41their laughter cut through the room sharp and vicious no one noticed how tightly i was gripping
00:45:48my silver fork my knuckles had gone white no one knew three days ago i had my awakening
00:45:57and no one knew that i had already decided to leave i would never complete a mate bond with kane
00:46:05on the day of the ceremony the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse
00:46:11a fake one kane glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me my little wolf
00:46:19why aren't you eating i looked at him at the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully
00:46:26crafted concern and forced a faint smile what were you all talking about that got you so excited
00:46:33kane smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand they were just saying they envy
00:46:41envy our bond that will be the most devoted pair there is inside the private room people exchanged
00:46:49knowing looks i caught every single one of them the mockery the cruelty it burned my heart felt like it
00:46:58had been soaked in liquid silver the pain sharp enough to cut through bone they had been talking
00:47:05about him and that woman yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had kane i never realized you
00:47:13could lie so easily i set my silver fork down and stood i didn't want to hear another word of
00:47:20it
00:47:21the moment i moved to leave kane was on his feet a flicker of panic crossing his face
00:47:27little wolf what's wrong i shook my head my voice came out soft barely more than a breath
00:47:36i'm tired i want to go back to the pack house i didn't wait for his response i turned and
00:47:44walked out
00:47:46out on the street i looked up and saw the massive led screen across the road a mating display was
00:47:53playing
00:47:54aria be my mate the words stretched across the center in bold impossible to miss letters
00:48:03people passing by slowed down their voices full of envy
00:48:10oh my god i heard alpha kane's girl can't shift so he rented the biggest screen in the city just
00:48:15so
00:48:15she could clearly see the words be my mate that's insanely romantic he treats that girl so well after
00:48:24the mate bond he's going to be the perfect alpha i stood there the subject of their admiration and let
00:48:32out a quiet self-mocking smile a week ago i would have reacted the same way i would have believed
00:48:41in kane's
00:48:41love without question i was born into a declining pack from the moment i came into this world i
00:48:50couldn't shift among the werewolf kind that made me a disgrace a failure kane entered my life under those
00:49:00circumstances he claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly
00:49:06but i had seen this kind of attention before cruel games disguised as affection so i avoided him 99 times
00:49:16he
00:49:16confessed 99 times i turned him down until the night the silver hunters attacked he threw himself over me
00:49:26without hesitation even when silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade he didn't move he held his
00:49:33position shielding me with his body when he woke up in the hospital his condition was so weak he could
00:49:40barely maintain human form and yet the first thing he did when he saw me was reach out and gently
00:49:47touch my
00:49:48face my little wolf as long as you're safe that was the moment everything changed for the first time
00:49:57i believed that even someone like me someone who couldn't shift could be worth risking everything for
00:50:04the walls around my heart cracked open for him the wound from the silver never fully healed it left behind
00:50:13a permanent circular scar every time i saw it my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close
00:50:20to
00:50:20love for five years he never wavered he treated me with the same devotion the same care as if i
00:50:29were the
00:50:29only one who mattered even when the pack opposed us he stood his ground and asked me to be his
00:50:38mate
00:50:39and for that upcoming ceremony i wanted to give him something real something more
00:50:46i risked my life to undergo blood awakening just so i could truly experience his wild side during the mate
00:50:53ritual if it failed i would have died but i survived not only that i gained something rare empathic sense
00:51:04i decided to keep it a secret i wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony but on
00:51:11the very day
00:51:12i awakened everything fell apart through that new ability i sensed him kane talking to his beta pet
00:51:21their voices were intimate careless filled with open flirtation that was when i learned the truth
00:51:30he had already betrayed our bond for an entire year and i had known nothing
00:51:37a sharp pain twisted through my chest forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself
00:51:44his words from earlier echoed in my mind over and over again even with the mate ceremony approaching
00:51:50he had no intention of ending that relationship did he really think i was so worthless that he could
00:51:57deceive me forever the winter wind cut through me cold and merciless but my mind had never been clearer
00:52:07i would show kane the truth lies don't last forever and i would never forgive betrayal i took a slow
00:52:15breath
00:52:16forcing down the ache in my chest just as i was about to head back a pair of strong arms
00:52:23wrapped around me
00:52:24from behind kane's scent surrounded me at once rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness it pressed
00:52:32in from all sides leaving no space to breathe little wolf why didn't you wait for me are you in
00:52:39a bad mood
00:52:39today then let me take you to see your mate dress the custom piece just arrived he pulled me into
00:52:47his arms
00:52:48his hands sliding up to the back of my neck gently stroking the spot where his marking remained
00:52:54i don't feel like going just pick it yourself i would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony
00:53:05there was no reason for me to wear a mate dress kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone
00:53:11his voice
00:53:12softened almost cautious little wolf why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all
00:53:20do you not want to bond with me anymore i looked at him at the flicker of panic in his
00:53:27alpha eyes
00:53:28i almost told him the truth yes i don't want this anymore you were the one who betrayed us first
00:53:36you
00:53:37were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt you were the one who destroyed any anticipation i had
00:53:42for that ceremony and now you're asking me why but i wasn't ready to expose everything not yet
00:53:51at the dress boutique the moment we stepped inside an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate
00:53:58dress prepared in advance miss the gown alpha kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived
00:54:05please let us know if you'd like any alterations the dress was pure white flowing and luminous
00:54:13moonstones were set into the bodice casting a soft sacred glow kane wrapped an arm around my waist
00:54:21my little wolf do you like it i couldn't deny it the design was exactly my taste but no matter
00:54:29how
00:54:30beautiful it was it couldn't mend what had already been broken look closer kane said softly at the
00:54:37center of the moonstone i followed his gaze engraved deep within the gem were the letters a and k forever
00:54:47the moon goddess is our witness my love for you will last forever too i stared at the stone at
00:54:56the tiny
00:54:56letters carved into its heart then i turned to him and met his eyes eyes filled with something that
00:55:04looked like love will your love for me really last forever a flicker of unease crossed his face before
00:55:14he answered quickly i kane swear swear that i will love aria forever for my entire life if i break
00:55:24this
00:55:24oath may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit such a solemn vow and yet it couldn't warm
00:55:33a heart
00:55:33that had already gone cold he had already broken it and still he kept acting didn't he get tired
00:55:43i turned my face away unwilling to look at him any longer kane seemed about to say something else
00:55:50but his phone suddenly rang his expression shifted just slightly before he stepped aside to answer
00:55:58when he returned there was a trace of apology on his face little wolf something urgent just came up
00:56:06go ahead and try the dress if anything needs adjusting just tell the staff
00:56:10he left in a hurry not even waiting for a response i watched his retreating figure a bitter thought settling
00:56:19in
00:56:20kane had never walked away from me for pack business and just before he left i had caught it
00:56:28that flicker in his eyes raw instinctive desire work hardly he was going to see her
00:56:39when i returned to the pack house i immediately felt it the slight dip in the mattress the air carried
00:56:47a
00:56:47cloying mix of vanilla and lingering scent thick with unmistakable desire the thought hit me all at once
00:56:55kane and that beta had been here on this bed entwined my stomach twisted violently i rushed into the
00:57:04bathroom and threw up unable to stop kane had just come back the moment he saw me like that panic
00:57:11flashed
00:57:12across his face little wolf did you eat something bad i'll call a healer right now
00:57:20i grabbed his wrist my eyes still red i'm fine i just thought of something disgusting
00:57:29kane dropped to his knees beside me gently patting my back his expression full of distress don't think
00:57:36about things like that seeing you like this it hurts me too i look down at him at the open
00:57:44collar
00:57:45of his shirt and the marks on his skin bite marks fresh obvious another wave of nausea rose in my
00:57:54throat
00:57:55how strong did kane have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body and still look at me
00:58:01like
00:58:01i was the only one he cared about his voice grew sharper more agitated who did this to you who

00:58:28a low
00:58:29restrained growl half asleep i reached out instinctively searching for the alpha beside me
00:58:37but the bed was empty i sat up and went downstairs as i reached the second floor i heard it
00:58:44a woman's
00:58:45breathless voice soft broken i froze for a second forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest then
00:58:54walked toward the guest room the door was wide open moonlight spilled across the room illuminating two
00:59:02bodies tangled together inside kane was bare from the waist up the beta wore a strapless mermaid gown
00:59:11the long skirt pushed up to her waist her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him her cheeks were
00:59:18flushed as she clung to his neck her voice unsteady alpha the dress i just got today you already torn
