09:41My ex-wife is a fat, depressed loser
09:43Three months after I divorced her
09:45She's still in my house
09:46For seven years she kept threatening to leave
09:48This time she didn't cry
09:49She dropped the papers on the coffee table
09:51She meant it
09:52The living together thing wasn't my idea
09:55Just think of her as a live-it nanny
09:57Mom whispered
09:58I didn't fight for Caleb because, honestly, Megan was better at it
10:02I watched her going out early and coming back later
10:04Her clothes became looser and her face became more angular
10:07I sneered in my heart
10:08So she's really regretting it
10:10Then Megan asked for money
10:11I was head-
10:12I feel sick just looking at all this fat on you
10:14How do you expect me to be aroused?
10:17Then let's divorce
10:18Seven years
10:19You've said this countless times
10:24Why are you treating me like this?
10:26Do you think I'm your ex-wife?
10:27The one who gave everything, worked tirelessly, and yet you still despised?
10:32I regret it
10:33Give me another chance
10:36My ex-wife is a fat, depressed loser
10:38Three months after I divorced her
10:40She's still in my house
10:41Eating my food
10:43Using my water
10:44Breathing my air
10:45My buddies thought I was nuts
10:47You can't stand the way she is
10:48Why did you stay?
10:52I did the math
10:53Moving out means I see my kid twice a week
10:54Paying two mortgages
10:55No thanks
11:01Later dad!
11:03And Megan my ex
11:05Dropped him at school
11:05Came home and cleaned the whole damn house
11:08The only difference
11:08I didn't have to fake it anymore
11:10Didn't have to look at her body
11:12Soft in all the wrong places
11:14Didn't have to lie there for three terrible minutes
11:16Both of us miserable
11:17Now
11:18No ring
11:19No ring
11:19No guilt
11:20A client hired an escort
11:21I could drape my arm over her however I liked
11:24Pull her closer for a photo
11:25Laugh at her jokes like I wasn't married
11:27No frantic texts
11:28No sorry babe
11:30Traffic's a nightmare
11:31Those two months
11:32Best of my life
11:33Best of my life
11:33So what was the point of the paperwork?
11:35For seven years she kept threatening to leave
11:37Crying
11:38Yelling
11:38Breaking plates
11:39Every time she'd apologize before we got to the door
11:41At first I figured it was postpartum
11:42But that doesn't last until your kid can do multiplication
11:45At first I figured it was postpartum
11:46But that doesn't last until your kid can do multiplication
11:49This time she didn't cry
11:51Didn't yell
11:52After Caleb went to sleep
11:54She dropped the papers on the coffee table
11:56Jason
11:56We're getting divorced
11:59The same papers had sat in her nightstand for three years
12:02Maybe five
12:03Every time she threatened
12:05She'd drag them out
12:06I didn't ask what set her off this time
12:08Fine
12:08Whatever you want
12:10The next morning
12:11After Caleb left for school
12:12She stopped me at the door
12:13See you at the courthouse
12:15I almost choked on my bagel
12:17By the time we got there
12:18She'd changed the terms
12:1950-50 on everything
12:21She said
12:22Calm as a lake
12:23I don't want the business
12:23Just cash
12:26You can have custody or I can
12:29The house is in a good school district
12:31Whoever gets Caleb gets the house
12:33For the first time in seven years
12:35I saw something new in her face
12:36She meant it
12:37She said she wouldn't change Caleb's last name
12:40If she got him
12:41So I let him go
12:42The waiting period was brutal
12:44Not because I was sad
12:45Because I was terrified she'd change her mind
12:48Those last few years of marriage had been suffocating
12:51I couldn't breathe around her anymore
12:53The living together thing wasn't my idea
12:55It was my parents
12:57When they heard we'd actually signed
12:59They flew back from their timeshare in Florida
13:02My mom pulled me into the kitchen crying
13:04I don't care if you're divorced
13:05You are not letting that woman take my grandson
13:09I showed her the certificate
13:11She lost her mind
13:14That night I slept in the guest room
13:16Megan had already cleaned it
13:18Fresh sheets
13:18Empty closet
13:19Like a Marriott
13:20In the middle of the night
13:22I got up to drink some water
13:23I saw her fitness bag on the table in the living room
13:25I rolled my eyes
13:27Mess all you like
13:28But you're still that fat woman
13:30Just think of her as a live-in nanny
13:32Mom whispered
13:33Who's gonna clean the house
13:35Cook dinner
13:35You hate strangers in the house
13:37She wasn't wrong
13:38I didn't fight for Caleb
13:40Because honestly
13:41Megan was better at it
13:43From the day he was born
13:45She did everything
13:46I just worked
13:47Wrote checks
13:48Showed up for photos
13:49Last year
13:50When Caleb finished kindergarten
13:52She asked me to come to the ceremony
13:54She spent the whole car ride
13:55Talking about elementary school admissions
13:57And parent-teacher conferences
13:58I tuned out every word
14:00If I remarried
14:01The new wife wouldn't want to deal with that crap
14:03Better to leave Caleb with his mom
14:05My mom offered to take over
14:07But when I asked her what PTA stood for
14:09She went quiet
14:11Still
14:11She had a point
14:12Moving out
14:13Would hurt Caleb
14:15Why Megan agreed to stay
14:16No idea
14:17Just like I had no idea
14:19Why she'd become so impossible in the first place
14:21One of my buddies said
14:23Maybe she regrets it
14:24Some women can't handle being alone
14:26That made sense to me
14:28I watched her going out early
14:29And coming back late every day
14:30Her clothes became looser
14:32And her face became more angular
14:33I sneered in my heart
14:35So she's really regretting it
14:37And wants to lose weight
14:38To make things right
14:39It's too late
14:40Then Megan asked for money
14:41I was heading out the door
14:42When she stopped me
14:43We need to talk
14:44We barely spoke these days
14:46Except for
14:47Pass the salt
14:48In front of Caleb
14:49Employer and employee
14:50That was us now
14:52So
14:52We need to talk
14:53Caught me off guard
14:58I feel sick
14:59Just looking at all this fat on you
15:00How do you expect me to be aroused?
15:04Then let's divorce
15:05Seven years
15:06You've said this countless times
15:11Why are you treating me like this?
15:13Do you think I'm your ex-wife?
15:14The one who gave everything
15:16Worked tirelessly
15:16And yet you still despised?
15:19I regret it
15:20Give me another chance
15:23My ex-wife is a fat
15:24Depressed loser

15:34You can't stand the way she is
15:35Why did you stay?
15:38I did the math
15:39Moving out means I see my kid twice a week
15:41Paying two mortgages
15:42No thanks
15:44It's been two months since the divorce
15:45Life's calm
15:46Morning coffee
15:47One side fried egg
15:48Crispy bacon
15:49Later dad!
15:50And Megan my ex
15:51Dropped him at school
15:52Came home and cleaned the whole damn house
15:54The only difference
15:55I didn't have to fake it anymore

19:33Except for
19:34Pass the salt
19:35In front of Caleb
19:36Employer and employee
19:37That was us now
19:39So
19:39We need to talk
19:40Caught me off guard
19:42I sit on the wedding bed
19:44The door slams
19:45Two rogues stagger in
19:46Pretty thing
19:47The first one, Rass
19:48Lucian said play hard
19:50You picked the wrong bride tonight
19:51Three days earlier
19:52Mating decree
19:53By order of the High Council
19:54You are bound to Lucian Blackwood
19:57Seven days
19:57Blood moon
19:58I'll take her place and marry him
19:59He cuts his palm over the bound book of the Thornwood line
20:03Daughter of Thornwood
20:04Where's my bride?
20:05Lucian Blackridge
20:06They said you were charming
20:07I see they meant loud
20:08A single hair on my daughter's head is harmed
20:10We will come for Blackrog
20:11Blood moon
20:12Stained glass
20:13I sit on the wedding bed
20:14The door slams
20:15Two rogues stagger in
20:17Fur half-rotted
20:18Mange weeping down their faces
20:20Pretty thing
20:21The first one, Rass
20:22Lucian said play hard
20:23I lift my eyes
20:24Cold
20:25Steady
20:25No fear
20:26You picked the wrong bride tonight
20:27Three days earlier
20:28Thornwood Manor
20:29Rocky Mountains
20:30Snow
20:31Stone
20:31A silver wolf's head carved over the hearth
20:33I'm on my knees in front of the fireplace
20:35Polishing an old hunting blade
20:37Footsteps behind me
20:38Selina
20:39The alpha's back from the council
20:40Bad news?
20:41He hasn't taken off his coat
20:42I slide the blade home
20:44I've hidden here for three years
20:47Three years since the council put my name on the black list
20:50And every bounty hunter started counting my teeth
20:53A safe house
20:54A kind family
20:55A girl who calls me sister
20:56I thought I was done
20:57Outside, a wolf howls
20:59Long, wrong announcement
21:01And somewhere south
21:04The moon turns the color of old blood
21:07My wolf stirts
21:09For the first time
21:11In months
21:12Edmund walks into the great hall
21:13With snow still melting in his beard
21:15One night at the hollow
21:16And his hair has gone white at the temples
21:18Margaret stands
21:19Edmund
21:21I named them
21:21Alara freezes by the fire
21:23I stood on the council floor
21:24And I named Blackridge
21:26Every girl they've taken
21:27Hooves outside
21:28Hard
21:28Fast
21:29The doors
21:30Low open
21:31A council courier
21:32Black cloak
21:33Silver pin
21:34Sets a sealed rotor on the table
21:36Mating decree
21:36By order of the high council
21:38Edmund breaks the seal
21:39Reads
21:40His hand starts to shake
21:41Father
21:42What does it say?
21:43You are bound to Lucian Blackroad
21:45Seven days
21:46Blood moon
21:46Alara's knees go
21:48Margaret catches her
21:49She just had her first shift, Edmund
21:51You told the council what he does to women
21:54I know
21:54Then do something
21:56Refuse
21:57And the pack is skinless by sunrise
21:59Alara is crying without sound
22:01I stand in the shadow of the archway
22:03Silent
22:03My wolf
22:04Quiet for three years
22:06Stirs beneath my skin
22:08Then I speak before anyone can see me
22:10I'll take her place and marry him
22:11The words cut through the air like steel
22:14She doesn't have to go
22:16No hesitation
22:17No tremor
22:21My hand closes around the silver comb hidden in my apron
22:24Fingers tightening until it hurts
22:26I say
22:26Voice steady
22:27I will go in her place
22:29I will fulfill the decree
22:30Silence
22:32I turn to Alara
22:33I'll go in your place
22:34She stares
22:35You're a maid
22:36I'm whatever your father says I am
22:38Edmund
22:39Margaret
22:39Both of them heard
22:40Edmund says
22:41Selina
22:42Do you understand what you're offering?
22:45Yes
22:46He will not be gentle
22:49I'm counting on it
22:50His hand flies to her mouth
22:52Edmund holds my eyes a long moment
22:55Then he turns and pushes open a door I've never seen open before
23:03The Hall of Blood Oaths
23:05He cuts his palm over the bound book of the Thornwood line
23:09Red drops onto my name written new
23:14From this hour
23:15You are blood of my blood
23:18Bone of my bone
23:20Daughter of Thornwood
23:23Selina
23:24He looks up
23:24The pages drink the blood
23:26Margaret lays a silver comb
23:27A moonstone
23:28And the family hunting knife into my hands
23:30Alara sobs into my shoulder
23:32My hand on her back is steady as carved stone
23:34Tires squeak outside
23:36Doors slam
23:37Edmund's head comes up
23:38He's here
23:39Already?
23:40The front doors blow open downstairs
23:42Where's my bride?
23:43Lucian Blackridge
23:44Amber eye
23:45Gray blue eye
23:45Cold smile
23:46Four men behind him
23:47Drunk and grinning
23:48I walk down
23:49Slow
23:49Hands folded
23:50Lucian's eyes find me
23:51Slide
23:52Land
23:52There you are, sweetheart
23:54Heard you were pretty
23:55Looks like they fed you wrong
23:57I stop three steps above him
23:59Tilt my head
24:01Lord Blackbridge
24:03His tongue runs over his teeth
24:06Come give your husband a kiss
24:11My fiancé
24:13The Hall of Blood Oaths is still wet behind me
24:16They said you were charming
24:21I tilt my head
24:24I see they meant loud
24:25His grin slips half an inch
24:30Careful, sweetheart
24:34You were the one shouting from the foyer
24:36A few of his men stop laughing
24:38He crosses to me
24:39Close
24:40Closer
24:41Bourbon and something sour
24:43Like fear under cologne
24:45My wolf flinches at the smell of him
24:47Nothing
24:48He smells like nothing
24:49No inner wolf
24:50I file it away
24:51He lifts a strand of my hair
24:53Rolls it between his fingers
24:54Like he's pricing it
24:56You know what happens to brides who talk back in my house, sweetheart?
25:02Enlighten me
25:03They learn
25:05He leans to my ear
25:06Low
25:07I've got brothers waiting for the wedding night
25:09Real friendly boys
25:10They love a new bride
25:13Especially the ones who think they're clever
25:17I'm sure they do
25:19You should be afraid
25:20I turn my head until my mouth is at his jaw
25:22Smile
25:24Try harder
25:26For one second
25:27Lucian Black Turd doesn't know what to do with his face
25:30He laughs too loud
25:31Drops my hair
25:33Steps back
25:34Seven days, Thornwood
25:35He snaps his fingers at his men
25:36Burn the dress she's wearing
25:37I'll pick out the next one myself
25:42The doors slam behind him
25:44Edmund is shaking on the landing
25:46I don't turn around
25:47He didn't deny the wedding night?
25:49No
25:51Good
25:52Dawn
25:52White bannets
25:53Snow on every pine
25:54I stand on the send-off stone in a moon-pale gown
25:55The silver comb pressed flat in my hair
25:57Behind me, Thornwood
25:58Across the courtyard, the Black Ridge Convoy
25:59Black SUVs
26:00Black furs
26:00Lucian lounging against the lead car like he's bored
26:02Edmund mounts the stone beside me
26:04He draws his ceremonial blade
26:05Opens his own palm
26:06Margaret makes a small sound
26:07Doesn't stop him
26:08Blood beads
26:09Drops
26:09Pisses on the cold stone
26:10His voice carries across every alpha and beta
26:12By Luna's breath and my own blood
26:14I swear this oath
26:15He lifts the bleeding hand to the moon
26:17If a single hair on my daughter's head is harmed
26:19If she weeps once in that house
26:21Thornwood will not petition the council
26:23We will come for Black Rogue with teeth
26:25And we will not stop until the line is finished
26:27Wind moves through the pines
26:29The pack representatives lower their heads
26:30The oath has been heard
26:31Lucian's smirk thins
26:32Edmund turns to me, quietly
26:34Come home, whatever it takes, come home
26:36I will
26:36I step down
26:37Cross the snow
26:37Past Lucian
26:38Who reaches for my arm
26:39I let him take it without looking at him
26:40I climb into the car
26:41The window darkens
26:42Lucian slides in beside me
26:43Bourbon and that nothing smell
26:45Smile, sweetheart
26:46You're a married woman
26:47Am I, my lord?
26:48Tonight, you will be
26:50Enjoy the wedding day
26:51The wheels crunch over white snow
26:53I turn my face to the window
26:54Through the tint
26:55The blood moon is rising again
26:56Fat, red, watching
26:59And by the time they realized who the real monster is
27:02I'll already be dead
27:04Two years ago, I met Jax outside a CVS at 2am
27:07I couldn't breathe
27:08My panic attack hit so hard, my vision blurred
27:10A man crouched in front of me
27:12Sharp suit, warm eyes
27:14Ari
27:14Jax dropping to one knee
27:15A diamond ring sparkling between us
27:18Darkness
27:19Muffled laughter downstairs
27:21Glass clinking
27:22Long blonde hair spilling across Jax's chest
27:25His assistant sitting in his lap
27:27Ignore her
27:28She's not going anywhere
27:29I finally realized he was punishing me
27:31But why?
27:32I stayed because without him, I had nobody left
27:36Miss Aria Vale
27:37This is the NYPD
27:38We're sorry
27:40Your sister is dead
27:42My phone lit up in the dark
27:43The screen kept glowing beside my bed
27:46Like a warning flare sinking underwater
27:47But I was too exhausted to wake up
27:50Too exhausted to save her
27:52When I finally opened my eyes the next morning
27:55Sunlight was already crawling across the ceiling
27:57My head pounded
28:01I called back immediately
28:03The voice on the other end wasn't my sister's
28:05Miss Aria Vale?
28:06Black coffin disappearing beneath wet earth
28:09My mother suddenly lunged at me
28:11You killed her!
28:13It should have been you in that box!
28:16Everyone stared
28:17Nobody moved
28:19Two years blurred together like dirty water
28:22Until Jax appeared
28:23He became my anchor
28:25His voice pulled me back from the edge
28:27You're not alone anymore
28:28The man I thought would save
28:30Red lipstick on a whiskey glass
28:32His assistant laughed in the dark
28:34Resting her head on his shoulder
28:36She doesn't need to know
28:37Freezing rain
28:38Esther's grave
28:39A fruit knife pressed against my wrist
28:42Finally got what they wanted
28:43And by the time they realized who the real monster is
28:47Two years ago
28:49I met Jax outside a CVS at 2am
28:51I couldn't breathe
28:52My panic attack hit so hard
28:54My vision blurred
28:55People walked around me like I was garbage
28:57Left on the sidewalk
28:58Then a black umbrella appeared above my head
29:00Hey
29:01A man crouched in front of me
29:02Sharp suit
29:03Warm eyes
29:04Expensive watch catching me on lights
29:06He handed me a tissue
29:08Pretty girls shouldn't cry
29:10Hawaii waves crashing against our feet
29:12Iceland ice caves glowing blue
29:14His hand wrapped tightly around mine
29:16Provence lavender fields stretching endlessly beneath golden sunlight
29:20Aria
29:20Jax dropping to one knee
29:21A diamond ring sparkling between us
29:24I'll stay beside you forever
29:27Darkness
29:27Muffled laughter downstairs
29:29Glass clinking
29:30I walked into the living room barefoot
29:33The smell of bourbon hit first
29:34Then I saw her
29:36Long blonde hair spilling across Jax's chest
29:39His assistant sitting in his lap
29:41Oh
29:42Your fiancé's awake
29:45Ignore her
29:45She's not going anywhere
29:49Then his assistant smiled at me
29:51And kissed him harder
29:54My breathing turned uneven
29:55My body shook violently
29:57Jax moved before he could stop himself
29:59His chair scraped sharply against the floor as he stood
30:02I thought he was coming to me
30:03The blonde woman said
30:05You still care about her?
30:07Jax picked up his whiskey glass without looking at me
30:09Eat your dinner
30:11The front door was open
30:12I froze
30:13Something was wrong
30:15I stepped inside slowly
30:17Crash
30:18Broken glass beneath my shoes
30:20The living room looked like a hurricane had torn through it
30:23And standing beside the fireplace
30:25Was my mother
30:26You're getting married?
30:29She hurled the frame straight at my head
30:33I'm in a gallery
30:34You think you deserve a happy life?
30:37You killed Esther!
30:39You're the reason she's dead!
30:41You're getting married!
30:44Silence!
30:46Silence
30:47My knees nearly gave out
30:49My hands shook violently as I reached into my bag
30:51I needed my meds
30:53Now
30:54The pill bottle slipped from my fingers
30:56White tablets scattered across the floor
31:00Then
31:00A pair of leather shoes stepped into view
31:03Jack's
31:04He didn't help me
31:05He only stared at the pills
31:09Then slowly let the bottle fall from his hand
31:11It rolled away into darkness
31:16Since learning the truth about Esther
31:18He had never looked at me with love again
31:21Only hunger
31:22Hunger
31:23To watch me suffer
31:25Maya invited me out to dinner
31:26To take my mind off things
31:28You look awful
31:29I forced a tiny smile
31:31And stabbed at my salad
31:32Then the doors opened
31:34And everything stopped
31:36Jack's walked in
31:37Holding another woman's hand
31:39The blonde assistant
31:40He guided her to the table gently
31:42Pulled out her chair
31:43Brushed his fingers against her shoulder
31:46Bring us the 45 Roman A. Conte
31:48Nothing but the best for my favorite girl
31:50Jack's
31:51Stop
31:51What if somebody sees?
31:54Maya
31:55He leaned closer
31:56Tucked her hair behind her ear
31:58That's when I saw it
32:00A diamond ring sparkling on her finger
32:03My stomach dropped
32:04That's the ring Jack's and I chose together
32:07I finally realized he was punishing me
32:09But why?
32:11Then Jack's looked up
32:12Straight at me
32:13No guilt
32:14Only amusement
32:15He slowly lifted his wine glass toward me
32:18A mock toast
32:19Maya slammed her fork down
32:22Oh hell no
32:24She grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward the exit
32:26As we passed their table
32:28Her bag suddenly
32:29Slipped
32:31You were a nine I'm wanting this
32:35Oops
32:41Oh don't worry
32:42This place is for happy couples anyway
32:47Why are you still with him?
32:50I opened my mouth
32:51Nothing came out
32:53Because how could I explain this?
32:54Jack's wasn't the reason I stayed
32:56I stayed because without him
32:57I had nobody left
33:00No sister
33:01No mother
33:03No home
33:08Miss Aria Vale
33:09This is the NYPD
33:11We're sorry
33:12Your sister is dead
33:14My phone lit up in the dark
33:16The screen kept glowing beside my bed
33:18Like a warning flare sinking underwater

33:22Too exhausted to save her

33:35The voice on the other end

33:38Black coffin
33:40Disappearing beneath wet earth
33:41My mother suddenly lunged at me

33:45It should have been you in that box!

34:46Glowing blue
34:46His hand wrapped tightly around mine
34:48Provence lavender fields
34:50Stretching endlessly
34:51Beneath golden sunlight
34:52Aria
34:52Jax dropping to one knee
34:54A diamond ring
34:55Sparkling between us
34:56I'll stay beside you forever
34:59Darkness
35:00Muffled laughter downstairs
35:02Glass clinking
35:03I walked into the living room barefoot
35:05The smell of bourbon hit first
35:07Then I saw her
35:08Long blonde hair spilling across Jax's chest
35:11His assistant sitting in his lap
35:13Oh
35:14Your fiancé's awake
35:17Ignore her
35:18She's not going anywhere

35:23And kissed him harder

35:42Eat your dinner

35:45I froze
35:45Something was wrong
35:47I stepped inside slowly
35:50Crash
35:50Broken glass beneath my shoes

36:19My knees nearly gave out
36:21My hands shook violently as I reached into my bag

36:26The pill bottle slipped from my fingers

37:18Bring us the 45 Romanae Conte
37:21Nothing but the best for my favorite girl
37:22Jax
37:23Stop
37:23What if somebody sees?
37:26Maya
37:27He leaned closer
37:29Tucked her hair behind her ear
37:31That's when I saw it
37:32A diamond ring sparkling on her finger
37:35My stomach dropped
37:37That's the ring Jax and I chose together
37:39I finally realized he was punishing me
37:42But why?
37:43Then Jax looked up
37:44Straight at me
37:45No guilt
37:46Only amusement
37:47He slowly lifted his wine glass toward me
37:50A mock toast
37:52Maya slammed her fork down
37:54Oh hell no
37:56She grabbed my wrist
37:57And pulled me toward the exit
37:58As we passed their table
38:00Her bag suddenly slipped
38:03You ruined
38:04I'm wearing this
38:07Oops
38:13Oh don't worry
38:14This place is for happy couples anyway
38:20Why are you still with him?
38:22I opened my mouth
38:24Nothing came out
38:25Because how could I explain this?
38:27Jax wasn't the reason I stayed
38:28I stayed because without him
38:30I had nobody left
38:33No sister
38:34No mother
38:36No home
38:37My intended fiancé Sebastian
38:39Got caught in bed with another woman
38:41He said in front of everyone
38:42The woman was me
38:43I tried to defend myself
38:44Nobody believed me
38:45To protect my family
38:46I drank wolfsbane wine
38:47And died
38:48Maybe the moon goddess took pity on me
38:49I woke up
38:51Back at the gala
38:52The day everything fell apart
38:54This time
38:54Just to expose him in front of everyone
38:56Seraphine
38:56You're here
38:57Then who is that?
38:58Sebastian's face turned to ash
39:00Why are you slandering me in front of everyone?
39:02You would have pinned this whole disgusting mess on me
39:04I walked up and slapped him hard across the face
39:06My intended fiancé Sebastian
39:08Got caught in bed with another woman
39:10At his mother's birthday party
39:11He said in front of everyone
39:12The woman was me
39:13Everyone was utterly stunned
39:15Then
39:15They spat curses at me
39:16Because I was the maiden chosen to serve the moon goddess
39:19If I lost my purity before marriage
39:20Disaster would befall the pack
39:22I tried to defend myself
39:23Nobody believed me
39:24The elders stripped my family of our territory overnight
39:26My father was cast out of the council
39:28My mother was humiliated and fell ill
39:30Bedridden ever since
39:31To protect my family
39:32I drank wolfsbane wine and died
39:34He granted his mistress a new identity
39:36And married her
39:36Living happily ever after
39:38But my parents grieved themselves to death within three years
39:40Maybe the moon goddess took pity on me
39:42I woke up
39:44Back at the gala
39:45The day everything fell apart
39:46The guests celebrated joyfully
39:48Offering their blessings to the South Bank
39:49Cheers
39:50To Luna
39:50Luna Thornwood
39:51Then suddenly
39:52A soft moan echoed through the hall
39:55Luna Thornwood was the first to walk over
39:57Two people are coupling on the bed
40:01Mother
40:01This is my fault
40:02Sarah had nothing to do with this
40:04We're about to seal our bond
40:05We love each other
40:06That's the only reason it happened
40:08Please give us your blessing
40:09Sarah don't be scared
40:10I'll go to your father tomorrow
40:11And make it official
40:12No way
40:13He's talking about Seraphine
40:14The High Council Head's daughter
40:15Her father will never recover from this
40:17What kind of girl did he raise
40:19She was the maiden chosen to serve the moon goddess
40:21How dare she
40:22She insulted the moon goddess
40:24She will bring disaster upon us
40:26If she has the nerve to spread her legs at a gala
40:28She should have the nerve to face us
40:30What's everyone looking at?
40:33Seraphine
40:33You're here
40:34Then who is that?
40:35Everybody looked at the woman in Sebastian's arms
40:37I looked up too
40:38Sebastian's face turned to ash
40:40He had no idea how I was standing in front of him
40:43Yesterday I'd sent word that I had a fever and couldn't make the gala
40:46In my last life I really hadn't come
40:48I'd been sick in bed for days
40:49By the time I heard what happened
40:51Every pack in the country had already condemned me
40:53There was no clearing my name
40:55This time I dragged myself out of bed and came to the gala
40:58Just to expose him in front of everyone
41:00And see how he could lie his way out of it
41:02Sebastian what are you doing?
41:04Who is this girl?
41:06Sebastian just said the woman in his arms is you
41:08He said her name is Seraphine
41:11He said he's sending people to your father tomorrow to ask for the bond
41:14Her name's Seraphine too?
41:15Sebastian what is this?
41:16Why are you slandering me in front of everyone?
41:19I am a handmaid chosen by the moon goddess
41:20You know how important my chastity is to me
41:22If I hadn't shown up tonight you would have pinned this whole disgusting mess on me
41:26What did I ever do to you?
41:27Why would you destroy me like this?
41:29Sarah didn't you say you weren't feeling well and you weren't coming?
41:32So because you knew I wouldn't come you picked tonight on purpose to ruin my name?
41:35You two planned this together
41:36What were you trying to do to me?
41:38If Princess Aurelia hadn't picked me up this morning and dragged me out
41:41I would already be ruined
41:42No Sarah
41:43I just said your name without thinking
41:44I didn't mean it
41:45Luna Thornwood
41:46You've watched me grow up since I was a child
41:48Please stand up for me
41:49My parents are still in the south visiting my grandmother
41:51There's no elder here to speak for me
41:53Please
41:53For my mother's sake
41:54Help me
41:55I started to sink to my knees
41:57The other Lunas rushed to lift me up
41:58Don't kneel sweetheart
42:00Your mother isn't here but we are
42:02We're your elders too
42:04We won't let them get away with this
42:05Your son did something like this
42:07Don't you owe us an explanation?
42:08Sneaking around with a woman at his own mother's gala is bad enough
42:11But framing another girl on top of it?
42:13What kind of cruelty is this?
42:14Sarah, don't be scared
42:16I'm calling my mother tonight
42:17The queen will hear about this herself
42:19I'll get you justice
42:20What a shameless pair
42:21A cheating alpha and his little slut
42:24Sweetie
42:25Tonight has truly wronged you
42:26This is all Sebastian's fault
42:28I'll make sure he apologizes to you properly
42:30He must have been drawn in by that Vix
42:32Sebastian has wanted you since he was a boy
42:34He would never do something like this on his own
42:36Drag her out and beat her until she can't stand
42:38Two heavy security guards stepped forward and yanked the woman off the bed
42:42She screamed
42:43Her dress half torn
42:44She hit the floor
42:45It was Lyra
42:47Sebastian's cousin
42:48The crowd gasped even louder
42:52Sebastian save me
42:56Aunt save me
42:57I didn't seduce him I swear
42:59He and I love each other please
43:01Let me serve him
43:02I don't need a title
43:03Even in mistress would be enough
43:05Please
43:06Don't hurt me
43:07Don't let them take me away
43:09Don't call me aunt
43:10You're a distant relative
43:11I took pity on you and brought you in
43:13And this is how you repay me?
43:16From now on, you are no relative of mine
43:18Mom, please
43:19If we throw her out, where will she go?
43:21It's my fault
43:23I had too much to drink and lost control
43:25Just let her stay as a mistress
43:26Seraphine
43:27You're gonna be the future Luna of this pack
43:29You decide
43:30If you can't tolerate her, I'll throw her out tonight
43:32If you have a kind heart and want to give her a place to stay
43:34We'll listen to you
43:35I laughed coldly in my head
43:37Great
43:37They wanted to dump the whole mess on me
43:39Last life, they snuck around
43:41I died for it
43:42They lived happily ever after
43:43This time, they'd pay in blood
43:45I gently pulled my hand back and stepped away
43:47Luna Thornwood
43:49Watch your words
43:50I have nothing to do with the Southfanger
43:51Lyra is your son's cousin
43:52Your niece
43:53She's already shared his bed
43:54Where she goes from here is for you and your family to decide
43:56Or for the future Luna, whoever she ends up being
43:58I'm just a guest at your gala
43:59It's not my place
44:02Sarah
44:03I'm sorry I used your name
44:04I panicked
44:05I figured we'd be mated soon anyway
44:07So it wouldn't matter if people heard
44:08I was always gonna mate you
44:09But Lyra is different
44:10She has no one
44:11If her name gets ruined, how will she live?
44:13I walked up and slapped him hard across the face
44:19My intended fiancé Sebastian got caught in bed with another woman
44:22He sat in front of everyone
44:23The woman was me
44:24I tried to defend myself
44:25Nobody believed me
44:26To protect my family, I drank Wolfsbane wine and died
44:29Maybe the moon goddess took pity on me
44:31I woke up
44:33Back at the gala, the day everything fell apart
44:35It's time just to expose him in front of everyone
44:37Seraphine, you're here
44:39Then who is that?
44:40Sebastian's face turned to ash
44:41Why are you slandering me in front of everyone?
44:43You would have pinned this whole disgusting mess on me

49:57I'm just a babe
