Transcript

00:00:00I was the eldest daughter of the Shadow Wolves pack.

00:00:02Anyone who married me would gain the full support of Shadow Wolves.

00:00:06Every wolf in the pack knew that Ryan Trivett and I had grown up together.

00:00:10Practically destined for each other.

00:00:11I'd been infatuated with him for as long as I could remember.

00:00:14In this life though, I didn't choose Ryan.

00:00:17Instead I ended up with his uncle, Lucas Trivett.

00:00:20Why? Because in my previous life, I had been married to Ryan for 5 years and he had never touched

00:00:25me.

00:00:25I used to think he had his reasons, some secret burden he couldn't share.

00:00:29But one day, I accidentally stumbled into the hidden chamber behind our bedroom.

00:00:33There, I saw him pleasuring himself to a photo of my cousin.

00:00:37I screamed hysterically.

00:00:39How could you do this? I'm your mate!

00:00:42Ryan didn't look surprised at all.

00:00:43He calmly wiped the semen off Willow's photo.

00:00:46The one I've always loved is Willow.

00:00:48I never loved you.

00:00:50That was the moment I realized the truth.

00:00:53He never loved me. He had only ever used me.

00:00:55Now, with his second chance at life, I had decided to let them have each other.

00:01:00But when I walked down the aisle in my wedding dress toward Lucas, Ryan completely lost it.

00:01:05The memory of that aisle still cut through me.

00:01:08In that vision, Ryan's face twisted as he watched Lucas waiting at the altar for me.

00:01:12Alice, stop!

00:01:13You're walking toward the wrong man!

00:01:15No, Ryan.

00:01:16For the first time, I'm walking toward the right one.

00:01:22The day after our engagement was finalized, the Shadow Wolves celebrated the annual Full Moon Festival, a grand event for

00:01:29the pack.

00:01:30Moonlight bathed the stage, which served as the heart of the celebration.

00:01:34At its center was a massive stone altar holding ceremonial goblets and offerings dedicated to the Moon Goddess.

00:01:40Behind the stage loomed a towering Ferris wheel, its lights twinkling against the night sky.

00:01:46In one corner of the festival grounds, Ryan Trivet leaned casually against an ancient tree, a crystal goblet in hand.

00:01:54He was boasting to his friends about his latest hunting exploits.

00:01:58The moment I stepped into the bustling festival, his friend, Blake Glisson, was the first to notice me.

00:02:03Hey!

00:02:04Ryan!

00:02:05Ryan, your little shadow is here again.

00:02:08Blake said with a grin, his teasing tone drawing laughter from the nearby wolves.

00:02:13You guys are engaged already?

00:02:14And she's still trailing after you like a pup?

00:02:16Ryan turned his head and spotted me, a flash of irritation crossing his face.

00:02:21Alice, are you so desperate to get married?

00:02:23You went ahead and got our families to finalize the engagement without even asking me.

00:02:27Now the whole pack knows we're supposed to get married.

00:02:29Really?

00:02:31Great job.

00:02:32His scornful words stung, but I quickly steadied myself, lifting my chin to meet his golden gaze.

00:02:38I said firmly, my voice steady.

00:02:41Ryan, I didn't need your permission, because I'm not marrying you.

00:02:46The crowd fell silent for a moment before erupting into laughter.

00:02:50Blake laughed the hardest, doubling over as if he couldn't breathe.

00:02:53Ryan, you'd better sweet talk your little fiance before she pulls another stunt to get your attention.

00:02:58Ryan's expression darkened, his eyes narrowing as he stared me down.

00:03:03His voice dropped, laced with barely restrained anger.

00:03:06Alice, what is this?

00:03:09Some new tactic to play hard to get?

00:03:11If you're marrying into my family, who else could you marry but me?

00:03:15And don't forget, you've been saying you'd marry me since you were a kid.

00:03:19The entire pack already considers you mine.

00:03:21He stepped closer, leaning in until his breath brushed my ear.

00:03:25His voice dropped to a dangerous whisper, carrying the threat of a predator.

00:03:29As for the wedding, I can give you the grand ceremony you've always wanted.

00:03:34But the mate bond?

00:03:35That's reserved for the one who's truly mine.

00:03:38I stared at him in shock.

00:03:39Could it be?

00:03:40Before I could press him further, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance to the festival.

00:03:45It was my cousin, Willow Hawkins.

00:03:47She was dressed in a pale blue gown, her eyes rimmed with red as tears threatened to spill.

00:03:52The moment she saw Ryan and me standing together, her tears broke free, sliding down her cheeks.

00:03:58Alice, Ryan, I heard you're getting married soon.

00:04:03I don't have any money to buy Alice the expensive gifts she deserves, so I just want to wish you

00:04:09both happiness.

00:04:10Before she could finish, she turned and ran toward the river, tears streaming down her face.

00:04:15Look at what you've done!

00:04:18Ryan snapped, spinning to glare at me.

00:04:21His golden eyes blazed with fury.

00:04:23Without another word, he turned and chased after her, leaving me standing there alone.

00:04:27When they returned, their fingers were interlocked as they strolled to the center of the festival grounds.

00:04:33Willow's mouth was swollen and red, while Ryan bore several conspicuous kiss marks on his neck.

00:04:38The crowd's gazes were laced with amusement, waiting to see my reaction.

00:04:42In the past, whenever I saw another woman acting intimately with Ryan, I'd inevitably throw a fit, clinging to him

00:04:48and demanding his attention.

00:04:49Ryan!

00:04:51You shouldn't be so intimate with them!

00:04:54I'm your mate!

00:04:55Not them!

00:04:56But Ryan would always shove me aside, looking utterly impatient.

00:05:00Everyone thought I would throw a tantrum like I used to, whining and clinging to him, humiliating myself like a

00:05:06clown in front of everyone.

00:05:07But this time, I merely stood in the corner, quietly watching them while savoring a delicious raspberry tart.

00:05:14Ryan positioned Willow protectively behind him, his gaze briefly flicking to me.

00:05:19A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by a mocking smirk.

00:05:24Looks like you've grown up this time.

00:05:26At least you're not throwing a tantrum like before.

00:05:28I didn't bother to respond.

00:05:30Instead, I casually finished the last bite of my tart and turned to leave.

00:05:35Every year during the Full Moon Festival, I'd make it a point to ride the Ferris Wheel.

00:05:39It had always been my favorite attraction since I was little.

00:05:42In the past, I'd drag Ryan along with me, but this year, I didn't.

00:05:47To my surprise, after the celebration ended, Ryan intercepted me.

00:05:51Don't you ride the Ferris Wheel every year.

00:05:54Let's go.

00:05:55I'll go with you.

00:05:56I glanced at him but said nothing.

00:05:58Turning on my heel to leave.

00:06:00At that moment, Willow clung to Ryan's arm with a bright smile and her voice syrupy and coy.

00:06:06Ryan, I want to ride the Ferris Wheel too.

00:06:09The moon is so full tonight.

00:06:12It'll be so romantic.

00:06:13Ryan hesitated, his eyes lingering on me as though waiting for my reaction.

00:06:18Ignoring them both, I walked toward the Ferris Wheel alone.

00:06:21Just as I was about to board, Ryan and Willow caught up, insisting on sharing the same gondola.

00:06:27Inside the small cabin, an awkward silence settled over us.

00:06:31Willow deliberately sat close to Ryan, leaning against him.

00:06:35Ryan, this Ferris Wheel is so high up.

00:06:38It's making me nervous.

00:06:39Without a word, I remained seated across from them, my gaze fixed on the star-studded night sky beyond the

00:06:46window.

00:06:47Don't be scared.

00:06:48I'm here.

00:06:49Ryan reassured her, his voice so tender it grated on my nerves.

00:06:53Emboldened, Willow giggled and grabbed his wrist, pressing herself even closer.

00:06:59Ryan, your hands are so warm.

00:07:02Could you help me apply my lipstick?

00:07:04I want to look good for pictures later.

00:07:06Ryan took the lipstick she handed him.

00:07:08The two leaned in so close that their breaths mingled.

00:07:11Willow tilted her head, slightly opening her mouth,

00:07:15her tongue darting out to wet them in a way that was undeniably provocative.

00:07:19Willow teased, her voice cloyingly sweet.

00:07:21Ryan, you're so bad.

00:07:24Don't mess it up.

00:07:26Their eyes locked, the space between them shrinking until their breaths grew uneven.

00:07:31Then, suddenly, Ryan's gaze snapped to me, as if he'd just remembered I was sitting across from them.

00:07:37When he saw me calmly gazing out the window, his expression faltered, darkening inexplicably.

00:07:43He wrapped his knuckles sharply against the glass, as though trying to draw my attention.

00:07:48As the ferris wheel neared the end of its rotation, I prepared to disembark.

00:07:53But Ryan unexpectedly grabbed my arm again.

00:07:56He shoved a bracelet into my hand, his tone dismissive.

00:07:59All right, stop pretending you don't care.

00:08:02It's not a good look.

00:08:03Consider this bracelet my engagement gift to you.

00:08:05As long as you behave, I'll give you the wedding you want.

00:08:08At least officially.

00:08:10The wolf pack will acknowledge you as my wife.

00:08:12I laughed coldly, meeting his gaze head on.

00:08:15And who are you planning to establish the mate bond with?

00:08:18Willow?

00:08:19Ryan's expression darkened instantly.

00:08:21Then he smiled smugly.

00:08:22I know.

00:08:23You were just pretending.

00:08:25He sneered, stepping closer.

00:08:28In a low, warning tone, he added.

00:08:30Let me make this clear.

00:08:31You'd better not breathe a word of this to either of our families.

00:08:34You can't even imagine what Willow and I share.

00:08:36She's pure and kind.

00:08:38Nothing like you with your underhanded little schemes.

00:08:40You so much as hurt her.

00:08:41I'll call off the wedding entirely.

00:08:43I stayed silent for a moment, then smiled.

00:08:46The irony wasn't lost on me.

00:08:48It was his own cowardice that kept him from telling my family the truth.

00:08:51He couldn't bear to part with my bloodline, yet he had the audacity to twist it as though

00:08:56I were the one creating trouble.

00:08:58Without another word, I turned and left.

00:09:01As soon as I stepped through the door, a message from Willow popped up on my phone.

00:09:05It was a video.

00:09:06In the footage, Ryan was carefully clasping a necklace around her neck.

00:09:10I recognized the brand of the necklace immediately, and with it came the realization that the

00:09:15bracelet Ryan had given me earlier was nothing more than a promotional gift included with

00:09:20the necklace.

00:09:21Toward the end of the video, Ryan pinned Willow against the Ferris wheel window, kissing her

00:09:25fanatically.

00:09:26Willow's expression was one of pure ecstasy, her soft moans filling the tiny cabin and amplifying

00:09:32in the enclosed space.

00:09:33Did I fork you good?

00:09:35Did I make you cum?

00:09:36You philly little whore.

00:09:37I want more.

00:09:38Faster.

00:09:38That feels so good, baby.

00:09:41Attached to the video was a text message.

00:09:43Alice, Ryan, and I did it so close to the moon tonight, it was thrilling and romantic beyond

00:09:47words.

00:09:48Has he told you yet?

00:09:49The wedding is just for show.

00:09:50When it comes to the real ceremony under the moon goddess's witness, it'll be me he establishes

00:09:55the mate bond with.

00:09:56This time, it's my turn to be the leader's life.

00:09:59So Willow had been reborn too.

00:10:01No wonder in our previous lives she and Ryan had no connection on the surface.

00:10:05Yet in this life, they were openly engaging in the kinds of intimate actions only couples

00:10:10would dare to.

00:10:11It seemed they had already confirmed their shared rebirth, and were determined to use this

00:10:16opportunity to rekindle the unfinished bond from their past lives.

00:10:20Lowering my gaze, I thought of the memories from my past life.

00:10:24Back then, I had married Ryan with a heart full of joy, naively believing I had found

00:10:29my happiness.

00:10:30Because of our union, Ryan's pack, Silverclaw's pack, had attracted countless allies from outside

00:10:36packs, forging powerful alliances.

00:10:39I had stayed by Ryan's side, assisting him in securing numerous business deals.

00:10:43Under our efforts, Silverclaw's pack quickly rose to become the wealthiest wolf clan.

00:10:48The elders of Silverclaw's pack had praised me as a blessing to their family, treating

00:10:52me with exceptional care.

00:10:54Yet I remained blissfully unaware of the truths lurking in the shadows.

00:10:58In that old life, I once stood outside Ryan's study for an entire night, waiting for him

00:11:02to explain why he refused to touch me.

00:11:05Ryan, do you ever want to complete our mate bond?

00:11:08Don't push me.

00:11:09Alice, a future pack leader's wife should know patience.

00:11:12Back then, I mistook his coldness for restraint.

00:11:15It wasn't until much later that I discovered the unspeakable secret between Ryan and Lily.

00:11:20This time, I wouldn't make the same mistake.

00:11:23That day, my mother came to my room to inform me that Lucas Trivett would return from abroad

00:11:27in seven days.

00:11:28The news caught me off guard.

00:11:30In my previous life, Lucas, Ryan's uncle, had remained a lifelong bachelor.

00:11:35I had assumed he would make the same choice in this life.

00:11:37But here we were, our marriage progressing smoothly.

00:11:40I only remembered Lucas as a dependable older brother figure.

00:11:44Despite his age, he exuded a calm presence that always put me at ease.

00:11:49Marrying him would provide me with a sense of belonging that no one else could.

00:11:52The next morning, I headed to my dessert studio bright and early to begin taste testing and

00:11:57designing the flavors and style of my wedding cake.

00:12:00Since college, I had been working on turning my dream of owning a dessert studio into a reality.

00:12:05In my past life, Ryan had always been dismissive of my desserts.

00:12:09You waste your days studying this nonsense.

00:12:11You're not worthy of becoming the future wife of a Wolfpack leader.

00:12:14I'm sorry.

00:12:15I was only trying to follow my dream.

00:12:17If you hate it that much, I'll stop making desserts.

00:12:20To appease him, I had abandoned my passion even buying a generic wedding cake instead

00:12:25of crafting one myself.

00:12:26This time, I was determined to design the perfect wedding cake, one that truly reflected

00:12:31my vision.

00:12:32A few days later, I sent a fresh batch of honey cakes shaped like crescent moons to the

00:12:36kitchen's cold storage.

00:12:37Shortly after, I inadvertently stumbled across Willow's social media post.

00:12:42In the photo, she was sitting on one of the counters in my dessert studio, holding a plate

00:12:47of my moon goddess cakes.

00:12:48The cake was a mess.

00:12:49Its shape distorted.

00:12:50Its cream smudged carelessly.

00:12:52Smiling brightly, she leaned against Ryan's, her face radiating smugness.

00:13:01Rage surged through me.

00:13:02Those cakes were the culmination of days of meticulous effort, designed as the signature

00:13:07dessert for my wedding.

00:13:09Now, it had been desecrated and turned into a cheap prop for their flaunting.

00:13:14I stormed into the dessert shop only to find Willow smearing cream across her upper body.

00:13:19She pressed herself against Ryan in a scandalous display.

00:13:22Their intimacy was so brazen, it made my stomach churn.

00:13:25She deliberately swayed her cream-covered body in front of Ryan, giggling as she fed him

00:13:30bits of cake from it.

00:13:32I snapped, my voice cold and sharp.

00:13:34Those cakes were meant for my wedding.

00:13:36What right do you have to touch them, let alone ruin them like this?

00:13:40Willow turned toward me, momentarily startled, but quickly replaced her shock with a pitiful

00:13:44expression.

00:13:45Tears rolled down her cheeks as she whimpered.

00:13:48Ryan, did I do something wrong?

00:13:51Why is Alice so upset?

00:13:53Ryan stepped in front of her protectively, his gaze filled with irritation.

00:13:57Alice, it's just a cake.

00:13:59You'll make new ones anyway.

00:14:01What's the harm in letting Willow try some?

00:14:03He sneered.

00:14:03Then, with a mocking glance, he added,

00:14:06Besides, it's not like the design or flavor is that impressive.

00:14:10Your skills are still nowhere near a professional bakery.

00:14:12You should be honored that Willow likes it.

00:14:14His audacity left me speechless.

00:14:16Not only did he disregard my hard work, but he even had the nerve to ridicule me.

00:14:21My eyes scanned the room until they landed on a spatula on the counter.

00:14:25Without hesitation, I grabbed it and scraped off every bit of cream from Willow's body.

00:14:29Then, I threw every cake she had touched into the trash.

00:14:33Ryan, if you obviously don't care, then watch closely.

00:14:38I won't keep anything that's been tainted, and that includes people.

00:14:42A heavy silence fell over the shop.

00:14:44Ryan's expression froze, clearly stunned by my decisiveness.

00:14:48Alice!

00:14:49Ryan roared, reaching out to grab me.

00:14:51But before he could, Willow let out a pitiful cry.

00:14:54Ryan, I think she cut my skin.

00:14:57It hurts so much.

00:14:58Willow clung weakly to his arm, whispering,

00:15:00But don't worry about me.

00:15:02Go comfort Alice instead.

00:15:04It's all my fault anyway.

00:15:05Ryan hesitated for a moment before turning back to me, his eyes now burning with anger.

00:15:10He snapped coldly.

00:15:11Don't bother with her.

00:15:13Jealous, spiteful women like her need to learn to reflect on their behavior.

00:15:16I didn't spare him another glance as I turned and walked away.

00:15:20This was just the beginning.

00:15:23I stared at the remnants of the cake still clinging to my hands.

00:15:27Wiping away my tears, I sighed.

00:15:29What a waste of all my hard work.

00:15:31Then again, if it took a few cakes to truly see someone for who they were,

00:15:36perhaps it wasn't such a bad trade-off after all.

00:15:39Tonight was the family dinner where I'd officially meet Lucas for the first time.

00:15:43Naturally, I wanted to leave a good impression.

00:15:45After freshening up and collecting myself,

00:15:47I headed down to the underground parking lot.

00:15:50From a distance, I noticed a car rocking subtly.

00:15:53As I approached, it became clear it was Ryan's Rolls Royce.

00:15:56The driver's side window was slightly ajar,

00:15:59revealing Ryan cradling Willow in his lap.

00:16:01Her half-lutid eyes glimmered with intoxicated passion,

00:16:05and her soft, breathy moans filled the air as her body moved rhythmically against his.

00:16:10Though I'd long accepted that Ryan didn't love me,

00:16:13the unexpected sight still hit me like a punch.

00:16:15My heart clenched reflexively.

00:16:17Ryan opened his eyes, which locked onto mine.

00:16:20For a fleeting moment, his gaze faltered, betraying a hint of panic.

00:16:24Then, as if to mock me, he brushed Willow's hair aside and kissed her with deliberate intensity,

00:16:29clearly aiming to provoke me.

00:16:30Sweetheart, I want you so badly.

00:16:32I'm gonna fire you hard.

00:16:34Ryan, you're incredible.

00:16:35You're going to fire me senseless.

00:16:38Their movements grew more exaggerated,

00:16:39and Willow's muffled cries echoed shamelessly throughout the parking lot.

00:16:43My wolf stirred angrily within me, snarling at the audacity of these two disgraceful beings.

00:16:49Don't let these two bastards get to you.

00:16:52They won't be laughing for much longer.

00:16:55My phone vibrated then.

00:16:56It was a message from my mother,

00:16:58reminding me not to be late for the Silverclaw's pack family dinner.

00:17:02Lucas Trivet has already landed and got on the plane.

00:17:05I took a deep breath, suppressed my wolf's rage,

00:17:08and walked away without a word.

00:17:12I climbed into my car and drove off,

00:17:14heading toward the Silverclaw's pack estate.

00:17:16On the way, I stopped to pick up the tie I had prepared as a gift for Lucas.

00:17:20When I arrived at Silverclaw's pack manor,

00:17:23I was surprised to find Ryan pulling in at the same time.

00:17:26As he opened his car door,

00:17:28I was hit by the unmistakable stench of his and Willow's frenzied escapades.

00:17:32The car interior was littered with discarded rubbers,

00:17:35a sordid display of their actions.

00:17:37Ryan's face showed a brief flash of embarrassment,

00:17:40but it quickly transformed into smug confidence when his eyes landed on the gift in my hands.

00:17:46He thought I was still infatuated with him.

00:17:49You bought me a present.

00:17:51Let me see.

00:17:52I stepped back, clutching the box behind me.

00:17:54It's not for you.

00:17:55Ryan chuckled lightly, as if I wasn't worth the effort to argue.

00:17:59He blew a lazy ring of smoke and said,

00:18:01You saw what happened in the parking lot, didn't you?

00:18:04Look, I know you're into me, and you can't live without me.

00:18:07But I've already told you before, haven't I?

00:18:09I'll give you a wedding.

00:18:10But my mate bond is with Willow.

00:18:12She's the one making sacrifices here.

00:18:13She'll be my true mate from now on,

00:18:15so it's completely natural for us to sleep together.

00:18:17She'll even stay at the house sometimes,

00:18:18so you might as well get used to it.

00:18:20I'm doing this for your sake, too.

00:18:21Though I had no intention of marrying him anymore,

00:18:24his brazen shamelessness still left me speechless.

00:18:27As I turned to walk away,

00:18:28he grabbed my arm and issued another of his so-called reminders.

00:18:32Uncle Lucas will be at the family dinner tonight.

00:18:34He's a big deal for Silverclaw's pack,

00:18:36so keep it classy, alright?

00:18:38I've done you a favor by bringing you here.

00:18:40If the elders ask about the mate bond,

00:18:42just say we've already established it.

00:18:44And one more thing.

00:18:45Don't forget to apologize to Willow after dinner

00:18:47for cutting her earlier today.

00:18:49Otherwise,

00:18:49I can cancel the wedding any time before it's official.

00:18:52With that,

00:18:53Ryan strode into the dining hall of Silverclaw's pack manor

00:18:56as if he hadn't just spewed nonsense.

00:18:58I took a deep breath,

00:18:59brushing off his words.

00:19:01It didn't matter.

00:19:02Soon enough,

00:19:03he'd know exactly who I was marrying.

00:19:06Inside the dining hall,

00:19:07Lucas hadn't arrived yet,

00:19:09but the other elders had already taken their seats.

00:19:12Avoiding Ryan,

00:19:13I deliberately chose a spot farther away

00:19:15and left the seat beside me open for Lucas.

00:19:17Ryan noticed my choice and frowned.

00:19:19He got up,

00:19:20walked over,

00:19:21and sat next to me with a scowl.

00:19:23You're really making this a thing now, huh?

00:19:25I saved you a seat,

00:19:26and you're still pulling this attitude?

00:19:28Where I sit is my choice.

00:19:30Stop throwing a tantrum.

00:19:31I don't have the patience for this.

00:19:32I furrowed my brow,

00:19:33annoyed,

00:19:34and was about to tell him

00:19:35the seat was meant for Lucas

00:19:36when the dining room doors opened.

00:19:38A tall figure strode in.

00:19:39Lucas was clad in a sleek,

00:19:41silver-gray wolf fur coat,

00:19:43his heavy combat boots

00:19:44thudding against the floor

00:19:45with each confident step.

00:19:46After years apart,

00:19:48Lucas appeared much more mature than I remembered.

00:19:50His every movement exuded an effortless nobility

00:19:53that couldn't be hidden.

00:19:54Everyone present stood up in unison.

00:19:57In recent years,

00:19:58Lucas had grown his business abroad

00:19:59to an impressive scale.

00:20:01Even the weapons for Silver Claws Pack military unit

00:20:04were funded by him.

00:20:05All eyes were on him,

00:20:06but his gaze found only me.

00:20:08When he noticed Ryan standing beside me,

00:20:10a fleeting look of disappointment

00:20:12seemed to flash in his eyes.

00:20:13Before I could explain,

00:20:15Ryan's phone rang.

00:20:16Answering it quickly,

00:20:17he excused himself,

00:20:18saying he needed to meet someone outside.

00:20:20Excuse me for a moment.

00:20:21Feeling a twinge of unease,

00:20:22I glanced at Lucas,

00:20:24only to see him moving toward me.

00:20:25The next moment,

00:20:26he sat down in the seat

00:20:27Ryan had just vacated,

00:20:29as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

00:20:31He said,

00:20:32his tone calm and commanding,

00:20:34before settling into his seat

00:20:35and gesturing for me to sit beside him.

00:20:37You all must be starving waiting for me.

00:20:40Let's eat.

00:20:41He then began slicing venison for me,

00:20:44his hands deft and precise.

00:20:46Ryan came over by himself and sat.

00:20:48It's fine.

00:20:49Eat first.

00:20:50Lucas interrupted,

00:20:51focused on arranging food on my plate.

00:20:53He picked out all my favorite steak,

00:20:55venison,

00:20:56and freshly roasted wild boar.

00:20:58The aroma was mouth-watering,

00:21:00the meat glistening with just the right amount of char.

00:21:03Slices of raw meat were piled high on the plate before me.

00:21:06Their fresh, deep red color and firm texture

00:21:09promising tenderness with every bite.

00:21:11His knife skills were impeccable,

00:21:13cutting each piece so precisely

00:21:15that not a single sliver of excess fat remained.

00:21:17For so long,

00:21:18I'd been saving the best cuts of meat for Ryan,

00:21:20trying to please him,

00:21:21leaving my wolf unsatisfied.

00:21:23But tonight,

00:21:24I could feel my wolf reveling in the feast,

00:21:26fully content for the first time in ages.

00:21:28Just then,

00:21:29the restaurant door swung open,

00:21:31and a cheerful voice rang out.

00:21:33Good evening, everyone.

00:21:34The Silver Claws pack member's expressions

00:21:36immediately darkened.

00:21:38Willow was my uncle's illegitimate daughter,

00:21:40someone the upper echelons of the wolf pack

00:21:42had never truly accepted.

00:21:43If not for the influence of my family,

00:21:46she wouldn't even have the right to show her face here.

00:21:48Ryan's father's face turned grim

00:21:50as he scolded sharply.

00:21:51This is a family dinner.

00:21:53Why did you bring an outsider here?

00:21:55Willow's eyes reddened,

00:21:56and she hid behind Ryan,

00:21:58looking pitiful.

00:21:59Ryan, clearly distressed,

00:22:01shielded her protectively.

00:22:02Willow is Alice's cousin.

00:22:04That makes her family.

00:22:05Why shouldn't she attend a family dinner?

00:22:07As he spoke,

00:22:08his gaze fell on the seat beside me,

00:22:10now occupied by Lucas.

00:22:11When he saw Lucas serving me meat,

00:22:13his face darkened further,

00:22:15his mood plummeting.

00:22:16His expression turned icy,

00:22:17but he dared not say anything outright.

00:22:20Suddenly,

00:22:20my phone vibrated with a new message.

00:22:22It was from Ryan.

00:22:23What are you doing?

00:22:24Just because I brought Willow,

00:22:26you called in Uncle Lucas

00:22:27to play this game and provoke me?

00:22:28I flipped the phone face down,

00:22:30pretending not to see it.

00:22:32Across the table,

00:22:33Ryan glared at me,

00:22:34his eyes practically drilling holes into me,

00:22:37his fury palpable.

00:22:39At that moment,

00:22:40Ryan's father raised his glass

00:22:41and began to speak.

00:22:42Our family's upcoming celebration

00:22:44has already become widely known

00:22:45throughout the pack.

00:22:47Tonight's dinner is meant to finalize

00:22:48the details of this important matter.

00:22:50Following that,

00:22:51we'll discuss the mate bonding ceremony

00:22:52and wedding arrangements,

00:22:53ensuring everything is properly decided tonight.

00:22:55Before he could finish,

00:22:56Ryan interrupted anxiously.

00:22:57Dad,

00:22:58Alice and I have completed the mate bonding.

00:23:00We'll take care of the rest ourselves.

00:23:03Right?

00:23:05Alice.

00:23:06Ryan called my name,

00:23:07his eyes signaling desperately for me to agree.

00:23:09I lowered my gaze and said nothing.

00:23:11I wasn't marrying him,

00:23:13so there was no need to respond.

00:23:14Ryan's expression turned frosty,

00:23:16his eyes filled with anger and disapproval.

00:23:19Ryan quickly sent another text.

00:23:21Says something.

00:23:22If you keep this up,

00:23:23I'll call off the wedding for real.

00:23:25Alice,

00:23:26don't test my limits.

00:23:27Annoyed,

00:23:28I unlocked my phone and blocked him.

00:23:30When Ryan realized what I'd done,

00:23:32he stared at me in disbelief,

00:23:33his hands clenching so tightly

00:23:35that the veins on the back of them bulged.

00:23:37Under the table,

00:23:38Lucas reached for my hand,

00:23:39his grip firm yet gentle.

00:23:41We should respect Alice's wishes.

00:23:43Whatever she decides,

00:23:45we'll follow.

00:23:46Ryan hurried to echo him.

00:23:47Right.

00:23:48Right.

00:23:49Uncle Lucas is absolutely right.

00:23:50Dad.

00:23:51Mom.

00:23:52Alice and I have everything under control.

00:23:54You just need to show up at the wedding.

00:23:55The other elders exchanged puzzled glances at his words.

00:23:58Finally,

00:23:59Ryan's father couldn't contain his anger anymore

00:24:01and slammed his hand down on the table.

00:24:03We're discussing Lucas's marriage.

00:24:06Why are you constantly interrupting?

00:24:09Ryan still didn't seem to understand what was going on.

00:24:13His expression remained relaxed as he said,

00:24:16Uncle Lucas is getting married too.

00:24:18That's great news.

00:24:19Hey,

00:24:20how about we hold the wedding together?

00:24:22That way,

00:24:22Silverclaw's pack can really have a good time celebrating.

00:24:25Ryan's father frowned and barked.

00:24:28What nonsense are you spouting?

00:24:30There's no together.

00:24:31It's not your turn to get married yet.

00:24:33It's Lucas and Alice who are getting married.

00:24:35Stop causing trouble here.

00:24:37Turning to me with a pleased smile,

00:24:39he raised his glass.

00:24:40Honestly,

00:24:41I thought I'd never live to see the day my brother got married.

00:24:43Alice,

00:24:44this toast is for you.

00:24:46It finally dawned on Ryan.

00:24:47His face froze and his voice quivered as he stammered.

00:24:51Dad,

00:24:51who did you say is getting married?

00:24:53Before Ryan's father could reply,

00:24:56Lucas clasped my hand and placed it on the table for everyone to see,

00:24:59meeting Ryan's stunned gaze.

00:25:01The ones getting married are Alice and me.

00:25:04This can't be.

00:25:06This is absolutely impossible!

00:25:08Ryan shot up in his chair.

00:25:10Disbelief etched across his face.

00:25:12He rushed up to me,

00:25:14grabbed my wrist,

00:25:14and tried to drag me out.

00:25:16This is all part of your scheme,

00:25:18isn't it?

00:25:19How could you become mates with my uncle?

00:25:22Then,

00:25:22a slender,

00:25:23well-defined hand

00:25:24pried his fingers off my wrist,

00:25:26one by one.

00:25:26It was Lucas.

00:25:28He looked furious.

00:25:29Ryan's father scolded.

00:25:31You brat.

00:25:32What is Ryan?

00:25:34What's gotten into you tonight?

00:25:36This is a family dinner.

00:25:37What kind of behavior is this?

00:25:39Keep acting up,

00:25:40and I'll throw you out myself.

00:25:42Ryan clenched his fists,

00:25:44his shock barely contained,

00:25:45and reluctantly sat back down.

00:25:48The rest of the dinner revolved around discussing the details of my upcoming wedding with Lucas.

00:25:53This is a solemn occasion.

00:25:55We'll prepare everything for you,

00:25:57including the jewelry for the ceremony,

00:25:59the bouquet,

00:26:01the fireworks,

00:26:02and the performances.

00:26:04Is there anything I need to prepare?

00:26:06My pack will also pair generous gifts for me.

00:26:08Lucas held my hand,

00:26:10his voice gentle.

00:26:11You don't need to prepare anything.

00:26:12You're the bride,

00:26:13my future mate.

00:26:14I'll take care of everything for you.

00:26:16Throughout the evening,

00:26:17Ryan's gaze remained fixed on me,

00:26:20ignoring even Willow's repeated attempts to get his attention.

00:26:22When the dinner ended and we stepped outside,

00:26:25I realized I had forgotten my coat.

00:26:27Lucas immediately went back in to fetch it for me.

00:26:30While I waited at the door,

00:26:31Ryan,

00:26:32his eyes red with emotion,

00:26:33suddenly grabbed my arm.

00:26:34Tell me,

00:26:35why are you engaged to Uncle Lucas?

00:26:37I pulled my arm away,

00:26:38meeting his question with one of my own.

00:26:40Why not?

00:26:41Ryan tightened his grip,

00:26:43desperation flickering in his voice.

00:26:45Stop messing around,

00:26:46Alice.

00:26:47You love me.

00:26:48You've always loved me.

00:26:50How could you agree to marry someone else?

00:26:53I let out a soft laugh.

00:26:54But as you can see now,

00:26:56Ryan,

00:26:56I can,

00:26:57and I am marrying someone else.

00:26:59I've spent years chasing after you,

00:27:01but I'm tired now.

00:27:03I don't love you anymore.

00:27:05Besides,

00:27:06the person you love isn't me,

00:27:08is it?

00:27:09So please,

00:27:10have some respect,

00:27:11and stop pestering me.

00:27:14A pained expression swept across Ryan's face.

00:27:17No.

00:27:18I know you still love me.

00:27:20You loved me in our past life.

00:27:22His voice trailed off as his demeanor shifted.

00:27:25He sighed and softened his tone,

00:27:27attempting a different approach.

00:27:29All right,

00:27:29Alice,

00:27:30let's not fight anymore.

00:27:31I'll let you choose everything for our wedding.

00:27:33The outfits,

00:27:34the cake,

00:27:35even the style of your dress.

00:27:37I'll buy whatever you like,

00:27:38okay?

00:27:39And fine.

00:27:40Even though Willow and I are bonded to each other,

00:27:42I promise I'll never bring her to our house.

00:27:44I won't let you see us together.

00:27:45Is that good enough for you?

00:27:46I stared at him in disbelief,

00:27:48as if seeing him clearly for the first time.

00:27:50Ryan,

00:27:51my own wedding should always have been about what I wanted.

00:27:53And I'll say this one last time.

00:27:55The man I'm marrying is Lucas.

00:27:57Stop acting like a madman.

00:27:59If you dare marry him,

00:28:00you'll regret it.

00:28:01Ryan snapped,

00:28:03his frustration spilling over as he suddenly yanked me closer.

00:28:06But before I could respond,

00:28:07I was pulled into a warm embrace.

00:28:10Lucas was back,

00:28:11draping my coat around my shoulders.

00:28:12Without hesitation,

00:28:13he clenched his fist and landed a punch squarely on Ryan's face.

00:28:17Ryan!

00:28:18Who gave you the right to lay a hand on my fiance?

00:28:22Blood trickled from the corner of Ryan's mouth as he gritted his teeth,

00:28:26a twisted smile forming on his face.

00:28:28Ryan took out his phone and pulled up a dense collection of photos.

00:28:32There were pictures of the cakes I had given him,

00:28:34the scarf I had knitted by hand,

00:28:35and even photos of me in a swimsuit,

00:28:38leaning in his arms.

00:28:39Ryan held the phone up in front of Lucas,

00:28:42quickly swiping through the screen.

00:28:44Uncle Lucas,

00:28:45ask around.

00:28:46Everyone in the wolf pack knows that Alice has always been my little lapdog,

00:28:50chasing after me.

00:28:52And you're willing to marry someone like her?

00:28:54My sloppy?

00:28:55Before he could finish,

00:28:56Lucas punched him again,

00:28:58his anger palpable.

00:28:59The phone fell to the ground,

00:29:01its screen shattering into pieces.

00:29:03Before Ryan could pick it up,

00:29:04Lucas stepped on it.

00:29:06Watch your mouth.

00:29:07If you can't say anything nice,

00:29:09I'll personally teach you a lesson.

00:29:12If you're done being the heir,

00:29:13say the word,

00:29:14and I'll find someone to replace you.

00:29:16Now get out of here.

00:29:17Seeing Lucas's knuckles turn red,

00:29:19I couldn't help but ask,

00:29:21does it hurt?

00:29:22Ryan's eyes lit up briefly with hope,

00:29:24only for it to extinguish when he saw me inspecting Lucas's hand with concern.

00:29:28That light in his gaze vanished completely.

00:29:31He cast me one last lingering look before walking away,

00:29:34defeated.

00:29:35Willow came out just then,

00:29:37calling after him and asking for a ride home.

00:29:39But he ignored her entirely,

00:29:41leaving her behind as he drove off alone.

00:29:45I quickly turned to Lucas,

00:29:47trying to explain.

00:29:48It's true.

00:29:49I used to chase after Ryan,

00:29:51but we were never a couple.

00:29:53We've never been intimate,

00:29:54and we never established a mate bond.

00:29:56Lucas smiled gently,

00:29:57gruffling my hair.

00:29:58Don't worry.

00:29:59I don't take anything that brat says seriously.

00:30:02I trust you.

00:30:04I stared at him,

00:30:05my face heating up,

00:30:06unable to hide my blush.

00:30:07Suddenly Lucas winced and clutched his hand,

00:30:10putting on a pitiful expression.

00:30:11But my hand really hurts now.

00:30:13I don't think I can drive or cook for the next couple of days.

00:30:17I might need someone to take care of me.

00:30:19This powerful wolf,

00:30:20unbothered by such minor injuries,

00:30:22was using this as an excuse to act spoiled.

00:30:25Seeing this childish side of him,

00:30:27my heart softened.

00:30:28I mimicked his gentle gestures and patted his head.

00:30:31All right, all right.

00:30:33I'll take care of you for the next few days.

00:30:35How does that sound?

00:30:36A smile spread across Lucas's face.

00:30:39Thanks in advance, honey.

00:30:44Then Lucas took me to the most famous jewelry store in the pack.

00:30:47The clerk greeted Lucas warmly

00:30:49and presented one beautiful piece of jewelry after another before him.

00:30:53I couldn't help marveling to myself at how beautiful they were.

00:30:56One ring in particular caught my eye,

00:30:58a pale blue gemstone ring.

00:31:00It was the most beautiful and expensive ring I had ever seen in my life.

00:31:04Then Lucas held that ring out in front of me.

00:31:06How did you know I liked this one?

00:31:08Luca let out a soft chuckle.

00:31:10Darling, your eyes can't lie.

00:31:12This ring suits you perfectly.

00:31:14It was made for you.

00:31:16Lucas bought the ring.

00:31:17Not only that, he had every piece of jewelry I had looked at packed up necklaces,

00:31:21crowns, earrings, so many that even the clerk could barely carry them all.

00:31:26Just as we got back into the car, two familiar voices reached my ears.

00:31:30You said you didn't like Alice at all.

00:31:32Now that she's become mates with your uncle, isn't that perfect?

00:31:36We can finally be together openly.

00:31:38We won't have to worry about that idiot Alice getting in our way anymore.

00:31:42Not far away by the roadside, Willow stood in front of Ryan.

00:31:46Her disheveled clothes and flushed face made her look like a madwoman.

00:31:49She stepped forward and tried to grab Ryan's arm.

00:31:52Ryan, you do love me, don't you?

00:31:57Ryan violently shook her hand off, his face dark.

00:32:00She's the eldest daughter of the Shadow Wolves pack.

00:32:03Without her help, how am I supposed to become the heir of the Silver Claw pack?

00:32:06She and Lucas must be trying to strip me of my position as heir.

00:32:10No, I will never accept that.

00:32:12Willow seemed unable to accept the way Ryan was treating her.

00:32:16She lunged forward and grabbed his arm again.

00:32:18Snap out of it!

00:32:20That bitch Alice!

00:32:22Before she could finish, Ryan suddenly slapped her hard across the face.

00:32:27Clutching her cheek, Willow stared at him in disbelief.

00:32:30Then the two of them started fighting.

00:32:32Watching the scene, I curled my lips into a mocking smile.

00:32:36Do you want me to have someone teach those two shameless idiots a lesson?

00:32:39I shook my head.

00:32:41Violence may make bastards submit.

00:32:43But that's not what I want.

00:32:45I want those two bastards to suffer the consequences of their own actions.

00:32:50By the moon goddess, they will pay the price they deserve.

00:32:55Over the next few days, Lucas and I got along surprisingly well.

00:32:59Our personalities complemented each other.

00:33:02And we both made an effort to understand and accommodate one another.

00:33:05In just a short time, it felt as though we had become soulmates.

00:33:09For the first time, I realized how much of my life I had wasted loving the wrong person.

00:33:14Lucas could clearly handle everything with one hand.

00:33:17Yet he still handed me the apron and deliberately showed me the hand that had been bruised because of Ryan.

00:33:22Honey, I was told my future Luna promised to take care of me.

00:33:26Does that promise still count?

00:33:28I was amused by him and pushed the freshly baked Honey Crescent cookies toward him.

00:33:32Only if you promised to tell me the truth.

00:33:35Is your hand really hurting?

00:33:36Lucas lowered his head and took a bite, tenderness shining in his eyes.

00:33:40A little.

00:33:41But if it gets me your attention, I don't mind hurting a little longer.

00:33:45Moonlight fell over his silver gray hair outside the window.

00:33:48For the first time, my wolf was not restless.

00:33:50I hugged Lucas tightly.

00:33:52I could hear his heart pounding.

00:33:53I could even feel that his body temperature was much higher than normal.

00:33:58Worried, I reached out and touched his forehead.

00:34:01Lucas, you're burning up.

00:34:02Are you sick?

00:34:04Are those injuries really okay?

00:34:05Lucas paused for a moment, then laughed.

00:34:07You really are an innocent girl.

00:34:09My wolf is strong.

00:34:11A few bruises won't make me weak or give me a fever.

00:34:14As for my temperature, well, if a male wolf has no reaction at all when his mate hugs him,

00:34:19then he might need to see a doctor to find out whether he can still satisfy his mate.

00:34:25When I realized the deeper meaning behind Lucas's words, my face turned bright red with embarrassment.

00:34:30We haven't officially become mates yet.

00:34:32Soon, won't we?

00:34:35A few days later, Lucas accompanied me back to the dessert studio.

00:34:39The moon goddess cakes Willow had ruined had all been cleared away.

00:34:43Lucas did not mock my dream the way Ryan had.

00:34:45He rolled up his sleeves, carefully sifted flour for me, and even wrote down every flavor in a notebook.

00:34:51This one tastes like moonlight and honey.

00:34:53It should be on our wedding table.

00:34:55You can actually tell the difference.

00:34:57Of course.

00:34:58Anything you make deserves to be tasted carefully.

00:35:01The doorbell suddenly rang.

00:35:03Ryan stood outside the glass door, his face dark,

00:35:06his eyes fixed on the flour on Lucas's hands and the cream at the corner of my lips.

00:35:10So this is why you stopped making cakes for me?

00:35:13You brought him here instead!

00:35:14Lucas wiped the cream from the corner of my lips.

00:35:17The gesture so natural, it looked almost intimate.

00:35:20Ryan, this is Alice's studio.

00:35:22If you can't respect her work, leave.

00:35:25Ryan tried to rush inside, but the wolves guard stopped him.

00:35:28He could only watch through the glass as I placed the newly made crescent cakes into cold storage.

00:35:33This time, Ryan did not even have the right to touch them.

00:35:36After making sure the cake was properly placed, I took off my gloves and pulled open the shop door.

00:35:41Ryan was still standing outside.

00:35:43When he saw me come out, his eyes clearly lit up.

00:35:46Under his hopeful gaze, I raised my hand and slapped him hard across the face.

00:35:50I don't want to see you again.

00:35:52Get lost.

00:35:54Ryan clutched his face in disbelief.

00:35:56He wanted to say something, but Lucas's presence kept him from speaking.

00:36:00After hesitating again and again, he finally left unwillingly.

00:36:04Before he walked away, he gave me a fierce look.

00:36:07I could see the determination in his eyes, as if he believed he would have me back no matter what.

00:36:12But so what?

00:36:13I would never turn back again.

00:36:15A few days later, a friend sent me a congratulatory message.

00:36:19Alice, after pursuing Ryan for so many years, you finally won his heart.

00:36:26I can't wait to celebrate with you.

00:36:28Since Silverclaw's pack was prestigious, the exact wedding date would only be announced once it was officially decided.

00:36:35As a result, everyone in the wolf pack still assumed Ryan was the one I was going to marry.

00:36:39Curious about her texts, I hesitated for a moment before checking Ryan's social media profile.

00:36:44Even though I'd blocked him, what I saw left me stunned.

00:36:48His profile picture and pinned post had all been changed to pictures of me.

00:36:52His bio now read, Alice, my only love.

00:36:55It was a blatant display of his so-called devotion broadcast to everyone in the pack.

00:37:00He was claiming me as his own.

00:37:02But his theatrics didn't stir a single emotion in me.

00:37:05In my past life, no matter how much I begged, he had never publicly shown even a shred of affection

00:37:11toward me.

00:37:11Now, after losing me, he wanted to act regretful and try to win me back?

00:37:16Ryan's love was as cheap and worthless as ever.

00:37:20That afternoon, I was having a casual lunch with my employee at a restaurant in the pack center.

00:37:25Lucas is truly a qualified mate.

00:37:27He's much better than Ryan.

00:37:29Exactly.

00:37:30I saw Ryan and Willow acting intimate a long time ago.

00:37:34But back then, you were obsessed with Ryan, so...

00:37:37Hearing their words, I let out a soft laugh.

00:37:40Compared to Lucas, Ryan is nothing but trash.

00:37:45Honestly, I'm curious how I ever fell for someone like him.

00:37:48Willow stormed in like a mad woman.

00:37:50Alice!

00:37:51What kind of spell did you put on Ryan?

00:37:54Why is he suddenly obsessed with you again?

00:37:56He is even talking about voiding our mate bond!

00:37:59Her eyes were wild with rage.

00:38:01Why?

00:38:02Why?

00:38:03Why is it that even in this life, I still cannot compare to you?

00:38:09You should just die.

00:38:11Alice.

00:38:12Die!

00:38:13Before I could react, Willow lunged at me, wielding a silver knife.

00:38:16The blade flashed under the cafeteria lights.

00:38:19Silver was poisoned to wolves.

00:38:20Even a shallow cut could burn for days and slow healing to a crawl.

00:38:25Miss Alice!

00:38:25Move!

00:38:26My wolf snarled, claws threatening to break through my fingers.

00:38:30But someone stepped between us first.

00:38:33A figure suddenly stepped in front of me.

00:38:35It was Ryan.

00:38:37He turned to me with a forced, reassuring smile before intercepting the blade with his bare

00:38:41arm.

00:38:42Blood trickled down his arm, but he didn't flinch.

00:38:45His only focus on ensuring I wasn't harmed.

00:38:47Don't worry.

00:38:48I won't let her hurt you.

00:38:50I stepped back.

00:38:52Ryan, your act disgustes me.

00:38:55Ryan ignored my words completely.

00:38:57Once he confirmed I was safe, his expression darkened.

00:39:00He turned to Willow, his gaze icy and furious.

00:39:04How dare you come here and cause trouble for Alice?

00:39:08And you even tried to hurt her!

00:39:10Do you have a death wish?

00:39:11With a sudden, powerful shove, Ryan sent Willow sprawling onto the floor.

00:39:15She landed hard, and moments later, blood began to pool beneath her.

00:39:20The cafeteria fell silent.

00:39:21All eyes were on Willow as she clutched her abdomen, her face pale.

00:39:25Someone gasped and covered their mouth.

00:39:28Oh my god.

00:39:29All that blood.

00:39:30Did she just misgage?

00:39:32Willow stared in shock at the blood staining her dress, then let out a heart-wrenching

00:39:36wail.

00:39:37Her shaking finger pointed accusingly at Ryan as she sobbed.

00:39:41You!

00:39:42You killed our baby!

00:39:45How could you?

00:39:48What are you talking about?

00:39:50How could we possibly have a child?

00:39:52Ryan looked around and realized everyone was whispering.

00:39:55Guilty sweat began to beat on his forehead.

00:39:58Willow suddenly lifted her head.

00:40:00A shrill howl tore from her throat as she dragged her blood-stained body toward Ryan.

00:40:04Of course we could have a child.

00:40:07Have you forgotten, Ryan?

00:40:08We slept together countless times.

00:40:11In your room.

00:40:12In the underground garage.

00:40:14Even in Alice's room.

00:40:16And her cake shop!

00:40:18Ryan couldn't take it anymore.

00:40:19He kicked Willow to the ground.

00:40:21You're lying!

00:40:23Ryan turned to me, his voice desperate.

00:40:26It's not true, Alice.

00:40:27You have to believe me.

00:40:28You know it isn't.

00:40:29That day in the parking lot.

00:40:31You were there.

00:40:32You saw it yourself.

00:40:33We used protection.

00:40:34There's no way she could have gotten pregnant with my child.

00:40:37She must have been sleeping around with someone else.

00:40:39That baby couldn't have been mine.

00:40:41I yanked my arm away from his grasp.

00:40:43Disgusted by the person he had become.

00:40:45You think using protection makes you innocent?

00:40:47Ryan, stop disgusting me with your excuses.

00:40:50I have no interest in hearing you justify your behavior anymore.

00:40:54I turned and walked away, ignoring his calls.

00:40:57Ryan tried to follow but Willow clung to him, sobbing hysterically.

00:41:01Behind me the chaos grew louder.

00:41:03But none of it had anything to do with me anymore.

00:41:06The moment I walked out of the restaurant, Willow was helped outside.

00:41:10Her face was deathly pale, but she still glared at me.

00:41:13Alice!

00:41:14Are you satisfied now?

00:41:16Ryan hurt me because of you!

00:41:18Everyone should know you're the real monster!

00:41:21The onlookers began whispering.

00:41:23I stopped, turned back, and met Willow's gaze.

00:41:26Ryan and I have nothing to do with each other anymore.

00:41:29I'm Lucas's future mate now.

00:41:31His uncle's.

00:41:32So watch what you say and how you behave.

00:41:34The next second, several black cars stopped at the entrance,

00:41:37and wolves' guards stepped out to separate the crowd.

00:41:40Lucas stepped out of the car, his silver-gray cloak lifting in the wind.

00:41:44He did not look at Willow.

00:41:45He checked my wrist first.

00:41:47Did she hurt you?

00:41:48No.

00:41:49Ryan blocked the knife.

00:41:50Only then did Lucas raise his eyes.

00:41:53His gaze as cold as a winter night.

00:41:55Willow Hawkins, you brought a silver knife into a public place and attacked the future

00:41:59Luna of Silverclaw's pack.

00:42:01From this moment on, you are banned from every property under Silverclaw's pack protection.

00:42:06Meanwhile, Ryan stumbled out of the restaurant.

00:42:09Lucas glanced at him.

00:42:10As for you...

00:42:12Lucas paused.

00:42:13His powerful alpha pressure forced Ryan to his knees.

00:42:16I'll contact your father and make sure you receive the punishment you deserve.

00:42:23In the aftermath, Willow's desperation drove her to take drastic measures.

00:42:27She knew her reputation was ruined after the miscarriage, so she clung to Silverclaw's pack with everything she had.

00:42:33She spread rumors throughout the wolf path, claiming the baby had been Ryan's, and that they had planned to complete

00:42:39their mate bonding ceremony under the moon goddess's blessing.

00:42:43I'm the only one qualified to be Ryan's mate.

00:42:45We've already had a pup together.

00:42:47This is the love token Ryan gave me.

00:42:49We've already joined under the moon goddess's blessing.

00:42:52I'm going to be the future Luna of the Silverclaw pack.

00:42:55Unfortunately for her, no one believed a word she said anymore.

00:42:59We won't believe someone who just tried to kill a person in public.

00:43:03Exactly.

00:43:04Even if you once fought Miss Alice over Ryan, you were still the Alice's cousin.

00:43:09How could you be so ungrateful?

00:43:11Left without support, Willow became a laughingstock among the elite.

00:43:14Her downfall didn't stop there, or mother's history of being a mistress was dug up again, further cementing their disgrace.

00:43:21Willow ultimately banished from high society altogether.

00:43:24Later, I heard Willow tried to cry her way into sympathy at the Silverclaw's pack gate, but the elders refused

00:43:30to even let her step inside.

00:43:32I carried Ryan's child! You can't throw me away like this!

00:43:36A woman who attacks a cousin with silver has no place in any respectable pack.

00:43:42That sentence spread faster than any rumor she had made up.

00:43:45By nightfall, everyone knew Willow had lost both her child and her last excuse to cling to Silverclaw's pack.

00:43:51At the same time, Silverclaw's pack summoned Ryan back to the family estate.

00:43:57Behind closed doors, he was punished according to the pack's strict rules.

00:44:00The one carrying out the punishment was Ryan's father.

00:44:03You fool! How could I have such a stupid son?

00:44:07Ryan's father held a whip and lashed it hard across Ryan's body.

00:44:11The magically enhanced whip struck Ryan, instantly tearing his flesh open.

00:44:15Ryan screamed again and again.

00:44:17He clenched his teeth as cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

00:44:21Dad, but Alice has always loved me.

00:44:24She used to follow me around and care about everything I did.

00:44:28Didn't you all always tell me to accept Alice?

00:44:30Why is everything my fault now?

00:44:32Ryan's father, utterly disappointed, brought the whip down on him again.

00:44:36That was before.

00:44:39Alice is the eldest daughter of the Shadow Wolves pack.

00:44:42If you had mated with her, it would have benefited not only the entire Silverclaw pack, but also you and

00:44:49me.

00:44:49Ryan's father was so furious that his beard trembled.

00:44:53But because of Willow, you kept hurting Alice again and again.

00:44:56Now Alice has chosen Lucas, and there's nothing I can do to change that.

00:45:01If you keep making trouble, and end up ruining her union with Lucas, I swear I'll beat you to death.

00:45:08Ryan curled up on the ground in pain.

00:45:10I'll win Alice back.

00:45:13She barely knows Lucas.

00:45:14She only chose him because she thinks he's stronger than me, and can humiliate me.

00:45:20Ryan's father frowned and warned him viciously.

00:45:22Lucas is the strongest wolf in the Silverclaw pack.

00:45:25If you do something stupid and anger him, next time, it won't be a whip waiting for you.

00:45:33After the punishment ended, Ryan lay on the ground, barely alive.

00:45:37Yet his eyes still gleamed with determination.

00:45:40I'll win Alice back.

00:45:42I swear.

00:45:44Lucas, worried that I might feel troubled by recent events, deliberately freed up a lot of time to take me

00:45:50out to eat, drink, and have fun.

00:45:52Spending time with him made my wolf incredibly happy, even stronger.

00:45:56He was always concerned that I might be upset.

00:45:59Holding tightly onto his broad shoulders, I said,

00:46:01I'm not upset.

00:46:03Really.

00:46:04Just regretful.

00:46:06I can't believe I wasted so much of my youth loving someone so revolting.

00:46:10He wrapped his arms around me, kissing my forehead gently.

00:46:13It's okay.

00:46:14I'm here now.

00:46:16From now on, I'll personally fill your days with happiness.

00:46:19We were suddenly so close that I could even feel his burning breath against my cheek.

00:46:24My wolf kept howling inside me, trembling with excitement.

00:46:27Then we kissed fiercely.

00:46:29Lucas was an incredibly powerful man.

00:46:31He lifted me up and set me on the table.

00:46:33His palms kept roaming over my waist.

00:46:35Damn it.

00:46:36I felt like I was about to melt.

00:46:38We kissed our way from the dining table to the sofa, knocking countless things onto the carpet in the process.

00:46:44But neither of us had the mind to care.

00:46:46Lucas kissed me from my lips down to my neck.

00:46:48This feels amazing.

00:46:50But then, he stopped.

00:46:52Babe, when the time is right, I'll savor every part of you.

00:46:56But not now.

00:46:58Blushing deeply, I nodded.

00:46:59He kissed me with incredible tenderness, and in each other's arms, we drifted off to sleep.

00:47:05One week before the wedding, I finally finished the new moon goddess wedding cake.

00:47:10The three tears looked wrapped in moonlight, with two silver gray and white wolves on top.

00:47:15The employees gathered around and applauded, but I instinctively looked at Lucas.

00:47:19In my past life, what I feared most was having my dream denied by the person I loved.

00:47:24Memories of Ryan suddenly came flooding back.

00:47:26You waste your days studying this nonsense.

00:47:30You're not worthy of becoming the future wife of a wolf pack leader.

00:47:34I'm sorry.

00:47:35I was only trying to follow my dream.

00:47:37If you hate it that much, I'll stop making desserts.

00:47:41To appease him, I had abandoned my passion even buying a generic wedding cake instead of crafting one myself.

00:47:47But now, everything had changed.

00:47:49Lucas picked up a small piece to taste, looking as serious as if he were evaluating an important alliance.

00:47:55This is not just dessert.

00:47:57This is your work, your pride, and part of our wedding.

00:48:01Ryan once said,

00:48:03These things were unworthy of a pack leader's wife.

00:48:06And he was blind.

00:48:07My mate doesn't need to shrink herself to fit anyone's idea of worth.

00:48:12I lowered my head and smiled.

00:48:14My wolf nudged softly inside my chest, as if saying it liked this man.

00:48:19On my birthday night, Lucas rented out the most expensive rooftop restaurant with a sea view in the city.

00:48:25I thought he just wanted to celebrate my birthday.

00:48:28Unexpectedly, across the sea, words lit up on a skyscraper.

00:48:36Hundreds of drones danced in the night sky, creating images one after another symbols of love,

00:48:41including the moon goddess bestowing blessings, a heart-shaped cake, wedding rings, and Cupid's arrow.

00:48:48Lucas stood before me, draped in the signature cloak of the wolf pack, his eyes wild yet sincere.

00:48:54Dropping to one knee, he held out a ring symbolizing a lifelong promise.

00:48:58From hidden corners, the leaders of various wolf packs stepped forward, applauding.

00:49:04Taking a deep breath, Lucas looked up at me reverently.

00:49:06Alice, our engagement was originally just an agreement between our families.

00:49:11Today, I want to ask you something.

00:49:14As Lucas, not as someone bound by a family contract.

00:49:19Alice Gueriner.

00:49:20Will you marry me?

00:49:21Tears welled up in my eyes as I nodded resolutely.

00:49:25Yes!

00:49:28Lucas Trivet, I'll marry you.

00:49:31I extended my hand, and Lucas slipped the ring onto my finger.

00:49:35Beneath the star-filled sky and surrounded by the blessings of the elders, we kissed passionately.

00:49:40Even our wolves let out deep, Rizona and Harold's, celebrating our union.

00:49:50That same night, Ryan was drinking heavily at a bar near the Silver Claws Pack border.

00:49:55Ryan was still holding a young bar girl in his arms.

00:49:58Blake handed him a phone with an awkward expression.

00:50:00Ryan, maybe you shouldn't watch this.

00:50:03Ryan snatched the phone.

00:50:04On the screen, Lucas was kneeling before me, and the entire city seemed to be shining for me.

00:50:09Ryan's fingers tightened until a thin crack spread across the phone screen.

00:50:13Ryan suddenly flew into a rage.

00:50:15The bar girl was startled.

00:50:16Seeing how unstable he was, she tried to quietly leave.

00:50:19But Ryan grabbed her at once.

00:50:21Why?

00:50:22Why are you leaving me?

00:50:24Even a thing like you, someone I can buy with money, dares to leave me?

00:50:29The bar girl's face turned pale.

00:50:31She struggled in fear.

00:50:33In the end, Blake stepped in and pried Ryan's hand away, barely putting an end to the farce.

00:50:38Ryan collapsed back into his seat, looking as if a dark shadow had fallen over him.

00:50:43She loved Ferris wheels.

00:50:45She loved moonlight.

00:50:46I knew all of that first.

00:50:48Blake did not dare speak.

00:50:50Everyone knew Ryan had known what I loved, but had never cared enough to give it to me.

00:50:54Ryan suddenly stood, knocking over his glass.

00:50:57No.

00:50:58This wedding won't happen.

00:51:01Alice is mine.

00:51:02She was mine in the last life, and she should be mine now.

00:51:06He rushed out of the bar, leaving shattered glass behind.

00:51:09This time, no one chased after him to persuade him.

00:51:14Soon the day of our official wedding arrived.

00:51:17The wedding was grand, every detail tailored to my preferences.

00:51:21From the cake to my dress, Lucas had everything specially made exactly how I wanted them, ensuring

00:51:26there wasn't a single regret.

00:51:28I stood in the dressing room, looking at the wedding dress in the mirror.

00:51:32While the wedding staff adjusted the final details of my dress, I heard a sharp crash

00:51:36from the cake preparation room next door.

00:51:39A tray had fallen to the floor.

00:51:41The staff around me immediately froze.

00:51:43Miss Alice, please stay here.

00:51:45We'll check it.

00:51:46I looked at myself in the mirror.

00:51:48The moon-white wedding dress fit me perfectly, and the silver-gray embroidery on the veil

00:51:53looked like faint wolf tracks under moonlight.

00:51:56For this wedding, Lucas had prepared everything according to my wishes, so of course, someone

00:52:01would try to ruin it.

00:52:02I lifted my skirt and walked toward the cake room.

00:52:04The moment I pushed the door open, I saw a woman in a staff uniform standing beside the

00:52:10wedding cake.

00:52:11Her cap was pulled low, but I recognized her at once.

00:52:14It was Willow.

00:52:15In her hand was a tiny glass bottle filled with pale silver powder.

00:52:19Several Shadow Wolves guards rushed in behind me and blocked the door.

00:52:23Willow's face went pale.

00:52:24She tried to hide the bottle, but one of the guards grabbed her wrist and forced her hand

00:52:28open.

00:52:29Miss Alice, it's silver powder.

00:52:31The entire room fell silent.

00:52:34Silver was poisoned to wolves.

00:52:36If that powder had touched my dress, my cake, or even my skin during the ceremony, the wedding

00:52:41would have turned into a disaster.

00:52:44Willow suddenly tore off her cap and glared at me with bloodshot eyes.

00:52:47Why do you get everything?

00:52:49Why does every man choose you?

00:52:53Ryan was supposed to be mine, and Lucas should never have looked at you!

00:52:59So you came here to poison my wedding.

00:53:03Willow laughed bitterly, tears sliding down her face.

00:53:07Poison!

00:53:07Don't make yourself sound so innocent.

00:53:09You stole everything from me!

00:53:11If you hadn't existed, I would have been Ryan's Luna.

00:53:15I would have stood under the moon goddess today.

00:53:18I looked at her calmly.

00:53:19No, Willow.

00:53:21Even without me, you would still be nothing.

00:53:25Because everything you want, you try to steal instead of earn.

00:53:29Her expression twisted with rage.

00:53:32She suddenly lunged toward the cake, trying to throw the silver powder onto it before the

00:53:36guards could stop her.

00:53:37But I had been waiting for that.

00:53:39Before she could raise her arm, a guard kicked her wrist.

00:53:42The bottle flew out of her hand and shattered against the floor.

00:53:45The silver powder spilled across the black cloth I had ordered placed there in advance.

00:53:50Not a single speck touched the cake.

00:53:53Willow stared at the ruined powder in disbelief.

00:53:55You knew!

00:53:56You already ruined my cakes once.

00:54:00Did you really think I would let you near my wedding, unprepared?

00:54:03The guards pinned her arms behind her back.

00:54:06Willow struggled wildly, her neat staff uniform tearing at the shoulder.

00:54:10Let go of me!

00:54:13Ryan won't let this happen.

00:54:14He loves me.

00:54:16He'll come for me.

00:54:17I stepped closer and looked down at her.

00:54:20Ryan couldn't even save himself.

00:54:22Do you really think he can save you?

00:54:24For the first time, fear flashed across Willow's face.

00:54:27But soon, she started laughing again, shrill and desperate.

00:54:31You think you've won?

00:54:33You think this wedding will happen smoothly?

00:54:36Her eyes locked on mine, filled with vicious hatred.

00:54:39Ryan will never let you marry Lucas!

00:54:41He will ruin this wedding, even if he has to drag you away from the altar himself!

00:54:49Willow's screams gradually faded into the distance.

00:54:52I looked after her, a faint sense of unease rising in my heart.

00:54:56The staff told me not to worry, and I gave them a smile in return.

00:54:59They were right.

00:55:00Worrying too much would only steal the joy of the present.

00:55:04Right now, the most important thing was to complete this wedding.

00:55:06I touched up my makeup in front of the mirror, put on the sparkling necklace, and then headed

00:55:11to the ceremony venue.

00:55:13The ceremonial bells rang under the moon goddess's altar.

00:55:16The wedding was about to begin.

00:55:18Before the ceremony began, I stood behind the gate carved with laurel patterns while Lucas

00:55:23waited outside with the ring.

00:55:25Alice, are you nervous?

00:55:28A little, but not because I regret it.

00:55:32Then walk to me slowly.

00:55:34I will wait as long as you need.

00:55:35His words steadied my wolf.

00:55:37For the first time, my wedding was not a bargain, not a humiliation, and not a performance for

00:55:43anyone else.

00:55:44As the ceremony officially began, I walked down the red carpet to the center of the venue.

00:55:49All eyes were on us, filled with warmth and blessings.

00:55:52When it came time to exchange rings, something unexpected happened.

00:55:56Ryan, who was supposed to be recuperating at home from his serious injuries, barged into

00:56:02the ceremony.

00:56:02Alice, you can't marry him!

00:56:07Ryan's sudden intrusion made everyone gasp.

00:56:10It seems the pack was too lenient with your last punishment.

00:56:13How dare you disrupt your Uncle Lucas's mating ceremony!

00:56:16You are far too disrespectful.

00:56:18The moon goddess will condemn you for what you've done.

00:56:21Ryan didn't care at all.

00:56:22He rushed straight up to me.

00:56:25Alice, you can't marry Lucas!

00:56:28I'm your mate!

00:56:30Ryan's father flew into a rage, immediately ordering the guards to detain him.

00:56:35You ungrateful son.

00:56:37Today is your uncle's big day, and you're making a scene.

00:56:41If you don't stand down, I'll strip you of your position as heir.

00:56:45For the first time, Ryan defied his father directly.

00:56:49Then so be it!

00:56:50Ha ha!

00:56:51I don't care about being heir anymore.

00:56:53All I want is Alice.

00:56:55Alice.

00:56:57You might not believe me, but in our previous life, you married me!

00:57:01We supported each other and grew old together.

00:57:03That's how it should have been.

00:57:06But now everything's gone wrong!

00:57:08If you come back to me, I promise I'll work hard.

00:57:12Whatever Uncle Lucas can give you, I'll achieve that and more!

00:57:18If I hadn't been reborn myself, perhaps the old me might have believed his nonsense.

00:57:23I couldn't understand why Ryan was so fixated on me in this life.

00:57:27Had he truly realized he loved me and was filled with regret?

00:57:30But whatever the answer, it no longer mattered to me.

00:57:33My wolf loathed him to the core.

00:57:35I looked him straight in the eyes and said, enunciating each word,

00:57:39Ryan, your thoughts no longer matter to me.

00:57:42If you still don't understand, then listen carefully.

00:57:47I love Lucas.

00:57:48I love only him in this life, and that will never change.

00:57:52From now on, just like Lucas, I will see you as a nephew.

00:57:58I hope you respect me enough to call me Aunt Alice when you see me.

00:58:02With that, I turned back and exchanged rings with Lucas.

00:58:06Right in front of Ryan, I took the initiative to kiss Lucas,

00:58:09our wolves passionately responding to each other.

00:58:11Under the witness of the moon battles, we bonded with each other as mates.

00:58:17Ryan stood there, mouth agape, unable to utter another word.

00:58:20In a fit of despair, he did something drastic,

00:58:23plunging a silver dagger into his own thigh.

00:58:26Blood poured from his wound as he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

00:58:30Gasps erupted from the guests,

00:58:32and Ryan's father ordered the guards to take him away.

00:58:34Lucas did not let go of my hand for even a second.

00:58:37Alice, look at me.

00:58:40This is our ceremony.

00:58:43Not his.

00:58:44I looked into Lucas' eyes and nodded.

00:58:46The moon goddess' blessing had already fallen on us.

00:58:49Ryan's blood could stain the ground, but it could no longer stain my life.

00:58:53After Ryan was carried away, a brief chaos still lingered among the guests.

00:58:57Some looked at me with concern, as if waiting for me to break down.

00:59:01But Lucas simply tightened his hold on my hand and led me to the center of the moon goddess' altar.

00:59:06No one gets to ruin the wedding you wanted.

00:59:08Not Ryan.

00:59:09Not Willow.

00:59:11Not anyone.

00:59:12The officiant raised the crystal goblet again, moonlight falling into the cup.

00:59:16Lucas personally handed it to me.

00:59:18My dear, drink with me.

00:59:20Let every pack here remember who stands beside you today.

00:59:24I took the crystal goblet and drank the moon goddess' blessing with him.

00:59:27The wolves in the hall howled softly, their voices rising until they became a blessing.

00:59:33At that moment, I finally had a wedding without grievance, without substitutes, and without humiliation.

00:59:43The next afternoon after the mating ceremony was completed, I woke from sleep.

00:59:48My whole body ached.

00:59:49When I looked down, I realized there were countless intimate marks all over me.

00:59:53Lucas had left them last night.

00:59:55Under him, I had climaxed at least six times.

00:59:59Sweetheart, are you feeling all right?

01:00:01I prepared breakfast and some medicine for you to help you recover your strength.

01:00:07At some point, Lucas had appeared beside the bed.

01:00:09My face flushed with embarrassment.

01:00:11I feel good, especially after last night.

01:00:15Meanwhile, on the other side, Ryan woke up in the Silver Claws Pack infirmary.

01:00:20The silver wound left him pale, his thigh wrapped in layers of bandages.

01:00:24The first thing he asked after waking was still about me.

01:00:28Where is Alice?

01:00:29Did the ceremony stop?

01:00:31The elder guarding the door stayed silent for a moment before speaking coldly.

01:00:35The ceremony is complete.

01:00:38Alice Garner is now Lucas Trivert's mate.

01:00:40Ryan stared at the ceiling for a long time as if he had not understood.

01:00:44Then he suddenly ripped out the IV and tried to get out of bed.

01:00:58Those words pierced Ryan deeper than the Silver Dagger.

01:01:01He staggered and fell to his knees, finally unable to say a single word.

01:01:07After Lucas and I officially got married, Ryan didn't settle down at all.

01:01:11He had a major falling out with Silver Claws Pack and left the pack, choosing to strike out on his

01:01:16own.

01:01:16He loudly declared that one day he would defeat Lucas and win me back.

01:01:20Unfortunately, Ryan was never particularly talented.

01:01:23Without the resources and support of Silver Claws Pack, he lacked the ability to form his own wolf pack.

01:01:30The wolves who once followed him did so because he was the heir of Silver Claws Pack, not because they

01:01:35trusted him as a leader.

01:01:36Once that title was gone, his so-called loyalty vanished faster than Morning Mist.

01:01:41Later, word of Ryan's declaration reached the Silver Claws Pack estate before dinner.

01:01:46Luna Alice.

01:01:47Ryan says he will build a pack strong enough to challenge Lord Lucas.

01:01:53Then let him try.

01:01:54A pack built on regret will collapse before the first full moon.

01:01:59Lucas only smiled and placed another slice of roasted meat on my plate, as if Ryan's threat was not even

01:02:05worth interrupting our meal.

01:02:08Lucas, on the other hand, shifted all his efforts to domestic matters after our marriage.

01:02:12With the overseas resources he had already accumulated, he quickly secured his footing within Silver Claws Pack.

01:02:18Adding my Alpha King bloodline to the equation, Lucas led Silver Claws Pack to unprecedented heights.

01:02:24The weapons for the military unit were upgraded.

01:02:27Border trade routes were reopened.

01:02:29Allied packs that had once hesitated now came forward willingly.

01:02:32For the first time I was not being used as a bargaining chip.

01:02:35I was standing beside a man who treated me as a partner, and every decision Lucas made included my voice.

01:02:42At the first Alliance meeting after our marriage, several Elders still looked at me as if I were only Lucas'

01:02:47young wife.

01:02:48Lord Lucas, should we wait before letting Alice handle the Border Alliance files?

01:02:52No.

01:02:54Alice builds half the trust.

01:02:56Her word carries the same weight as mine.

01:03:08After Willow was expelled from high society, she moved into the cheapest motel near the border.

01:03:13Still unwilling to admit defeat, she dragged her weak body to find Ryan.

01:03:18After losing the pup, she didn't have enough money to pay for medical treatment.

01:03:21And since the entire Silver Claw Pack despised her, she had also lost any chance of receiving help from a

01:03:27charitable medical organization.

01:03:29She was extremely weak.

01:03:31Her lips were pale, and the foundation on her face was so white it looked almost frightening.

01:03:35Ryan, I lost everything because of you.

01:03:38You have to take responsibility for me.

01:03:40Ryan looked at her, and the old infatuation in his eyes was gone.

01:03:44Only disgust and regret remained.

01:03:46You sent Alice those videos.

01:03:48You pushed her away.

01:03:52You wanted me first.

01:03:54You said the mate bond was mine.

01:03:56And I was wrong.

01:03:57Those four words shattered Willow's last fantasy.

01:04:00She tried to lunge at him, but the low-ranking guards outside stopped her.

01:04:04She drew the silver knife she always kept on her, and held it to her throat.

01:04:08If you don't help me, I'll kill myself right here.

01:04:12Willow endured the sharp pain in her neck, and looked at the man who had once promised to love her

01:04:17forever,

01:04:17hoping to find even a trace of mercy in his eyes.

01:04:21Unfortunately, there was none.

01:04:23Abandoning Willow did not mean he deserved to have me again.

01:04:26Three months later, with Lucas and me working together, more and more packs pledged allegiance to us.

01:04:33The Shadow Wolves Pack and the Silver Claw Pack became the strongest packs of all.

01:04:39Because of Ryan's betrayal, his father voluntarily stepped down from his position as Alpha.

01:04:44After a unanimous vote by the Council of Elders, Lucas took over the position.

01:04:48And I became the Luna of the Silver Claw Pack.

01:04:51However, just as the Luna crown was about to be placed on my head, a sudden message shattered the piece.

01:04:57Someone blew up our southern supply route.

01:05:00They specifically asked to see the Luna.

01:05:02Lucas and I exchanged a glance.

01:05:04We saw the answer in each other's eyes.

01:05:06It was Ryan.

01:05:07I paused the coronation ceremony and rushed to the accident site with Lucas.

01:05:13Sure enough, Ryan was there.

01:05:15After three months apart, he looked even more haggard.

01:05:18The proud, confident heir of the pack was nowhere to be seen.

01:05:23Ryan, you hurt your former pack members just to lure me out?

01:05:27Is that your purpose?

01:05:29When Ryan saw me, he actually gave a dark, gleamy laugh.

01:05:32It seemed the past three months had hit him hard.

01:05:35Of course that's my purpose!

01:05:38My dear Alice, you must have been cursed by witches!

01:05:42Otherwise, you never would have suddenly married Lucas!

01:05:45Those witches wander around the forest all day!

01:05:48They must have cursed you with their evil magic!

01:05:50I brought a potion!

01:05:52As long as you drink it, everything can go back to the way it should be.

01:05:56Ryan's words sent a chill down my spine.

01:05:58He actually believed I had been cursed by witches.

01:06:01Even after everything had come to this, he still refused to reflect on himself.

01:06:06He only knew how to blame others for his mistakes.

01:06:09And if I say no...

01:06:11Ryan's expression darkened instantly, and he let out a roar.

01:06:14The next second, he shifted into a massive wolf, and charged toward me at full speed.

01:06:20What made it even more dangerous, was that as he closed in, a bottle of potion filled with an evil

01:06:25aura shattered on the ground.

01:06:27I quickly shifted as well.

01:06:29The moment Ryan lunged at me, I dodged his bite and slashed my front claws hard across his abdomen.

01:06:34After spending so long wandering outside, Ryan was no longer as strong as he once was.

01:06:39Ryan let out a pained groan and collapsed to the ground.

01:06:43You can't escape it.

01:06:46The witch's potion will bring you back to where you belong.

01:06:50Before Ryan could finish, he saw Lucas standing in front of me, blocking almost all of the splashing potion for

01:06:56me.

01:06:57Be careful.

01:06:58The strange potion burned wound after wound into Lucas' body.

01:07:01I was furious.

01:07:03Lucas!

01:07:06Are you okay?

01:07:07Lucas quickly checked me all over to make sure I wasn't hurt.

01:07:10Only after confirming I was unharmed did he finally relax.

01:07:14I'm fine.

01:07:16Go and complete your revenge.

01:07:19I couldn't hold back my fury.

01:07:21I walked over to Ryan and looked down at him from above.

01:07:26Without warning, I lifted my foot and stomped down hard on his leg.

01:07:31Ryan's leg bone snapped.

01:07:35You can't do this to me!

01:07:37Alice!

01:07:39I love you!

01:07:41Love.

01:07:42I never once felt love from you.

01:07:44You once said you loved Willow, but you only ever treated her like a plaything.

01:07:49And you say you love me, but in truth, you just can't accept that I'm no longer under your control.

01:07:56I delivered my judgment without a trace of emotion.

01:07:58Ryan, in the name of the eldest daughter of the Shadow Pack and the Luna of the Silver Claw Pack,

01:08:05I declare this.

01:08:06Imprison Ryan, destroy his wolf, and confine him to the Silver Prison.

01:08:11From this day on, he is never to take a single step outside it again.

01:08:16Ryan was finally terrified.

01:08:18He begged desperately, with no dignity left at all.

01:08:22No!

01:08:22You can't!

01:08:24I was wrong!

01:08:26I was really wrong!

01:08:29Please!

01:08:30Please don't do this!

01:08:31Save your apology.

01:08:34You can say it to the heir in your Silver Prison.

01:08:36That night, I carefully treated the burns Lucas had suffered from the potion.

01:08:40I asked him out of curiosity.

01:08:43What would you have done if you hadn't married me in this lifetime?

01:08:47A flicker of vulnerability and sorrow appeared in his eyes.

01:08:50Lucas said softly,

01:08:52My Luna, let me tell you a story.

01:08:57Ten years ago, I happened to return to the pack, to attend a coming-of-age ceremony for a wolf

01:09:02princess.

01:09:03At the celebration, a group of young ladies had an argument.

01:09:06And one of them accidentally spilled red wine on a little girl's dress.

01:09:10The child's pristine white gown was ruined, and she burst into tears.

01:09:14I listened quietly, and an old memory stirred inside me.

01:09:18That day was supposed to belong to the princess.

01:09:20Yet instead of being upset about her disrupted event,

01:09:23she rushed back to her study, turning with paint and brushes in hand.

01:09:27She calmed the little girl, and used her paintbrush to transform the stain

01:09:31into a beautiful forest filled with blooming flowers.

01:09:34The little girl was delighted with her new dress.

01:09:36Lucas looked at me, his gaze gentle and deep.

01:09:40And me,

01:09:41I was utterly captivated

01:09:43by the clever and spirited princess.

01:09:46But at the time,

01:09:47that princess already had someone she loved.

01:09:50She was bold and passionate by nature.

01:09:52Even though I loved her,

01:09:53I genuinely wished for her to find the happiness she deserved.

01:09:56Hearing this story, which resonated so deeply with my own memories,

01:10:00I couldn't stop the tears from welling up in my eyes.

01:10:03I threw myself into his arms, and he gently kissed away my tears with a smile.

01:10:11That's why, as for the question you just asked me,

01:10:13I've easing thought of countless times over the ten years.

01:10:17If I couldn't marry you and despise,

01:10:19I would prepare myself for a life of solitude.

01:10:22I would dedicate myself to my work abroad,

01:10:25striving to create as many opportunities as possible for the packs at the borders.

01:10:28And I would make sure to offer everything I could to the lucky man who married you,

01:10:32so you could live a life of comfort,

01:10:35security,

01:10:36and freedom.

01:10:37At that moment, I understood completely.

01:10:39It wasn't about whether I had some extraordinary ability to bring prosperity to the pack.

01:10:44It was Lucas across lifetimes,

01:10:48silently doing everything in his power to protect me.

01:10:51I hugged him tightly and reached out to hold him.

01:10:53Lucas.

01:10:56Let's have children.

01:10:58When they grow up,

01:10:59let's design many outfits for them.

01:11:02Okay?

01:11:04He smiled and nodded.

01:11:05His eyes gleaming with desire.

01:11:08Then, he pinned me under him before removing my clothes.

01:11:12His warm hands touched my core,

01:11:14rubbing them gently while raining warm kisses on my skin,

01:11:17and I shivered from the tingling sensation.

01:11:19He raised my legs and entered me,

01:11:21strong and full of energy.

01:11:23His hard pounding felt like beasts tearing through me,

01:11:27causing me immense pain but also pleasure.

01:11:30Our massive silver-gray wolves intertwined and tore at each other under the moon.

01:11:34Their deep growls blending in with our panting.

01:11:39At this moment, we were no longer two individuals but a combined person,

01:11:43whose soul and body had completely merged together.

01:11:47Lucas.

01:11:49I love you in this life and all lifetimes.

01:11:55A few months later, the full moon festival arrived again.

01:11:59The ferris wheel still shone,

01:12:01and offerings to the moon goddess still rested on the stone altar.

01:12:05Only this time,

01:12:06the man standing beside me was not Ryan,

01:12:09but Lucas.

01:12:10Lucas bought me a raspberry tart,

01:12:12and waited in line with me for the ferris wheel.

01:12:14You said this was your favorite.

01:12:16I don't want to miss it.

01:12:18I looked at the full moon outside the window,

01:12:21and suddenly remembered the grievances I had suffered here in both lives.

01:12:25But those feelings had already faded.

01:12:27When the ferris wheel reached its highest point,

01:12:31Lucas held my hand.

01:12:32Happy now, my Luna?

01:12:35Very happy.

01:12:36I set up a small dessert stall at the festival

01:12:39and handed moon goddess cakes to the pack's children.

01:12:42Lucas stood beside me and carried out the last tray.

01:12:47The children gathered around us,

01:12:49and Lucas and I were busy handing out desserts to them.

01:12:51Among them,

01:12:52a little girl with twin ponytails

01:12:54timidly slipped a small paper ball into my hand.

01:12:57I frowned slightly.

01:12:59I knew this little girl.

01:13:00She was the daughter of one of Ryan's relatives.

01:13:03I opened the note.

01:13:05Sure enough,

01:13:06the handwriting was Ryan's.

01:13:07A careless young guard must have taken pity on him.

01:13:10I'm sorry.

01:13:11Alice.

01:13:13Please,

01:13:14let me out.

01:13:15I know I was wrong.

01:13:17Living in here is worse than death!

01:13:19After Lucas handed out the last dessert,

01:13:22he came closer to me.

01:13:23Do you need me to deal with him?

01:13:25He doesn't know he was wrong.

01:13:27He only knows he's afraid.

01:13:29For a bastard like him,

01:13:31he deserves to live in fear.

01:13:34Later,

01:13:35Silverclaw's pack officially announced that Lucas and I would jointly handle alliance affairs with outside packs.

01:13:41I no longer stood behind Ryan like in my past life,

01:13:44doing all the work for him only to be taken for granted.

01:13:47In every meeting,

01:13:49Lucas placed my opinions on the table.

01:13:51Alice understands Shadow Wolves and the Border Packs better than anyone.

01:13:54Her decision is my decision.

01:13:56My dessert studio also opened a second branch.

01:13:59Wedding cake orders were booked for the next six months,

01:14:02and Moon Goddess Cakes became the most popular dessert at the Full Moon Festival.

01:14:06Some said I was Lucas' good luck,

01:14:08but Lucas would always correct them.

01:14:11No.

01:14:12I am Alice's lucky man.

01:14:14This time,

01:14:14I did not give myself up for anyone.

01:14:19As for Ryan,

01:14:21barring any surprises,

01:14:22he would remain locked in the Silver Prison forever until the day he died.

01:14:27As for Willow,

01:14:28she had long since disappeared.

01:14:29Perhaps some pack would be willing to take her in,

01:14:32but if she ever dared to scheme again,

01:14:34only death would be waiting for her.

01:14:35And I stood on the balcony of the Silverclaw's pack estate,

01:14:39watching Lucas hold design sketches for our future child's tiny clothes.

01:14:43Suddenly,

01:14:44I felt the pain of my previous life finally drift away.

01:14:47My Luna,

01:14:48do you want flowers or little wolves embroidered here?

01:14:52Both.

01:14:53Our children deserve everything beautiful.

01:14:56Lucas lowered his head and kissed my forehead.

01:14:58And so do you.

01:14:59I leaned into his arms and heard our wolves answer softly under the moonlight.

01:15:04In this life,

01:15:05I finally did not walk toward the wrong person again.

01:15:07I did not walk toward the wrong person again.

01:15:08I did not walk toward the wrong person again.

01:15:09I did not walk toward the wrong person again.
