The Pure-blood Luna Is Back - Full AI Drama - Video Dailymotion
Transcript
00:00:02I married Alpha Evan out of gratitude.
00:00:06For three years, I guarded his pack.
00:00:09Yet Evan never loved me.
00:00:11He marked my sister before the whole pack.
00:00:14Everyone thought my sister was the pureblood Luna.
00:00:17Evan blamed me for being infertile.
00:00:19You're a freak.
00:00:21Everyone mocked the golden-eyed freak, never knowing I was the true Luna heir.
00:00:26When the truth comes out, they will be shocked.
00:00:30Three years since I married Alpha Evan, Alpha Joseph's son.
00:00:33Alpha Joseph died shortly after I married Alpha Evan, and I kept my promise.
00:00:37As long as I remain within his territory, my Luna power automatically forms a protective barrier, warding off all invading
00:00:43rogue werewolves.
00:00:44I love Evan with all my heart and have given everything for him, yet I have never managed to melt
00:00:49his cold heart.
00:00:50His heart has always belonged to my younger sister, Selina.
00:00:53Even after Selina abandoned him cruelly long ago, he still clings to memories of her.
00:00:57For three years, I wrapped the entire pack in my Luna barrier, blocking every wave of rogue attacks.
00:01:03I loved him silently, yielded to him every night, and waited patiently for his mark.
00:01:08One day, after our intimacy, I cling to a faint hope.
00:01:12Evan, I've stayed by your side for three years.
00:01:16Won't you give me the mate mark I've always longed for?
00:01:18Three years and you still can't conceive an heir?
00:01:21You're nothing but a freak with golden eyes.
00:01:23How dare you even beg for my mark?
00:01:26A useless freak?
00:01:27Who do you think has been shielding your pack in silence all these years?
00:01:32Shield my pack, don't make me laugh.
00:01:34Your wolf power isn't even half as strong as Selina's.
00:01:37A cursed golden-eyed outpiece like you could never hold a candle to her.
00:01:40Stop deluding yourself.
00:01:41Evan leaves without looking back.
00:01:43He saw me as nothing more than a worthless golden-eyed freak.
00:01:46Unworthy of his mark.
00:01:48Unworthy of a place by his side.
00:01:50He assumed I was weak and decile.
00:01:53Too dependent on this pack to ever leave.
00:01:56But his cold indifference killed every last bit of affection in my heart.
00:02:01Luna, Alpha Evan has instructed you to get ready.
00:02:04You are to attend the marking banquet the main mansion tonight.
00:02:07Here is the banquet gown prepared for you.
00:02:09A glimmer of fragile hope stirred in my heart.
00:02:12Perhaps he had only spoken harshly earlier,
00:02:14intending to give me a surprise to finally acknowledge me and bestow his mark upon me.
00:02:19When I stepped into the main hall,
00:02:22champagne roses bloomed everywhere,
00:02:24and a huge banner reading Welcome Pack hung on the wall.
00:02:28Then I saw him,
00:02:30when I stepped into the main hall,
00:02:31my mate,
00:02:32my Alpha,
00:02:33holding someone else in his arm,
00:02:36my sister Selina.
00:02:38Let me make an announcement to everyone here.
00:02:41Today,
00:02:42I will place my exclusive mark upon my one and only mate,
00:02:47Selina.
00:02:48My heart didn't just break.
00:02:50It plunged to a frozen abyss,
00:02:52shattering into a million jagged spards of ice.
00:02:55If he is marking her,
00:02:57if he is claiming my sister in front of the world,
00:03:00then what am I?
00:03:05The second the words left his lips,
00:03:07I froze on the spot.
00:03:09The roses blooming all through the hall
00:03:11were the very romance I'd never dared to dream of.
00:03:14The grand Welcome Pack banner hanging overhead
00:03:16mocked every foolish hope I'd clung to only moments before.
00:03:20Evan led Selina forward to a stop.
00:03:22Her gown was cut in the exact same style as mine,
00:03:25yet hers was encrust with diamonds,
00:03:27far more lavish by comparison.
00:03:29Evan had humiliated me on purpose,
00:03:32dressing me in an identical design
00:03:33but of far poorer quality.
00:03:35Selina put on a soft, gentle front
00:03:37and spoke to me in fake sweetness.
00:03:38Dear sister,
00:03:40thank you for coming all this way
00:03:41to witness my marking ceremony.
00:03:44I kept my eyes locked on Evan,
00:03:46my voice shaking with held back emotion.
00:03:48Why her?
00:03:49I've sacrificed so much for you.
00:03:51I stayed loyal by your side for three whole years.
00:03:55What good are all your sacrifices?
00:03:57Those eerie eyes of yours repel me,
00:03:59and you can't even bear airs for the pack.
00:04:02You were never half as good as Selina.
00:04:04Not then, not now.
00:04:05Evan lifted his hand,
00:04:07brushing it lightly along Selina's neck,
00:04:09then bowed his head to leave his claiming mark on her slowly and tenderly.
00:04:13When the mark was fully set,
00:04:15he slowly raised his eyes,
00:04:17scanning the bustling crowd before his gaze locked firmly on mine.
00:04:20Tears and applause burst out across the hall at once,
00:04:23loud blessings ringing through the air,
00:04:25yet every sound sliced right through my heart like a sharp knife.
00:04:28One of the pack elders stepped up onto the dace.
00:04:31He swept his gaze over the crowd,
00:04:32his tone grave and agmatic.
00:04:34As many of you know,
00:04:35our pack has long kept a secret.
00:04:37Among us lives a she-wolf
00:04:38who carries the rare pure-blood Luna lineage.
00:04:40The question we all wonder is this,
00:04:42who could she be?
00:04:46The pack members broke into quiet murmurs,
00:04:49all guessing who the she-wolf with hidden pure-blood Luna lineage might be.
00:04:53Amid the buzzing whispers,
00:04:54Charlotte, Evan's mother, and the pack's reigning Luna
00:04:56rose slowly from her grand ornate throne atop the dace,
00:04:59carrying herself with unbridled arrogance and authority.
00:05:02There's no need for pointless speculation.
00:05:04It can only be Selina.
00:05:06She boasts exceptional wolf talent and immense innate power.
00:05:10I have always known she is the fated one.
00:05:12I never thought Joseph would act recklessly
00:05:15and force Evan into a marriage with Isabella.
00:05:17A smug smile tugged at Selina's lips.
00:05:20She gave a slight, polite bow.
00:05:22Thank you for your kind praise and recognition, Luna Charlotte.
00:05:25I stepped forward before I could stop myself,
00:05:28holding her gaze straight.
00:05:32What gives you such certainty that it must be Selina?
00:05:35Charlotte let out a mocking laugh,
00:05:36as if I'd told the most absurd joke imaginable.
00:05:39She raked her eyes over me coldly, full of contempt.
00:05:41Could it possibly be you?
00:05:43A freak with unnatural golden eyes, good for nothing.
00:05:47Do you truly think you are worthy of possessing the noble pureblood Luna lineage?
00:05:52Stop indulging in foolish fantasies.
00:05:55The second her words fell,
00:05:57the whole hall erupted in mocking laughter,
00:05:59thick with scorn and disdain.
00:06:01I turned to Evan,
00:06:03clinging to a faint hope that he would stand up for me,
00:06:05that he would grant me even the smallest bit of fairness.
00:06:08But Evan made no move to defend me at all.
00:06:11His expression turned icy instead,
00:06:14his voice laced with revulsion.
00:06:15You would do best to leave the ceremony of your own accord.
00:06:19Staying here will only bring you further shame and make a public fool of yourself.
00:06:26If you refuse to go,
00:06:27you may tend to the guests in the kitchen and keep to yourself quietly.
00:06:34Evan's cold, dismissive words cut straight through me,
00:06:37sharp and biting to the bone.
00:06:39Every eye in the room lingered only on Selina,
00:06:42bright with anticipation.
00:06:43It was as if everyone already took it for granted,
00:06:46that her so-called Luna divine power would lead Evan's pack to new prosperity.
00:06:51I'd borne endless humiliation for far too long,
00:06:54endured endless scorn and mockery from those around me.
00:06:57All the grief and resentment I'd kept locked inside finally spilled over.
00:07:01The true bearer of the pure-blood Luna Tinergy is not...
00:07:04Selina.
00:07:06It has always been me.
00:07:08The hall burst into mocking laughter once again.
00:07:11Charlotte doubled over, clutching her stomach,
00:07:13mocking me without restraint.
00:07:15Evan and Selina shared a disdainful smirk,
00:07:18dismissing my words as ridiculous ravings.
00:07:22Have you lost your senses?
00:07:25How dare a golden-eyed freak like you
00:07:28claim the pure-blood Luna lineage for yourself?
00:07:33Evan's brows drew tight, his tone sharp and unforgiving.
00:07:38Isabella, are you spouting nonsense out of jealousy now that I've marked Selina?
00:07:43Stop making a fool of yourself.
00:07:44No one in the room believed a word I said.
00:07:47Their jeals pricked my heart like a thousand needles.
00:07:50Staring at their hypocritical, ugly faces,
00:07:53I only felt cold amusement and chose not to explain myself any further.
00:07:57When I fell quiet, the crowd quickly lost interest in me,
00:08:00turning their full attention back to Selina.
00:08:02Evan slipped an arm around her waist,
00:08:04his fingers brushing lightly over the fresh mark on her neck.
00:08:07From this day forward,
00:08:09Selina's Luna divine power will shield our pack
00:08:11and keep us safe and at peace.
00:08:17When she saw I still hadn't moved an inch,
00:08:19the smug look on Selina's face faded a little,
00:08:22replaced by impatience and haughty condescension in her tone.
00:08:26Dear sister,
00:08:27if you know what's best for yourself,
00:08:29gather your things and leave for home at once.
00:08:32Father is waiting for you there.
00:08:34Don't linger here and ruin everyone's celebration.
00:08:36I stood perfectly still,
00:08:38my expression unchanging,
00:08:40merely staring back at her with quiet indifference.
00:08:42I am keeping my oath to Alpha Joseph
00:08:44by remaining here to watch over Evan's pack.
00:08:47I will not leave
00:08:48until my three-year vow is fulfilled.
00:08:51The smile on Selina's face frozen instantly,
00:08:53then twisted into a cold, calculating smirk.
00:08:56She stepped half a step nearer and lowered her voice,
00:08:58letting only me hear her words.
00:09:00A vow?
00:09:02Sister, you're far too naive.
00:09:04Evan's pack has never needed your protection,
00:09:06nor will it ever accept a golden-eyed freak like you.
00:09:09Today, I'll make sure you're driven out of this place for good.
00:09:12The moment she finished speaking,
00:09:13she lurched backwards suddenly,
00:09:15her legs giving way as she crumpled heavily to the floor.
00:09:17She pressed her hands to the corners of her eyes
00:09:19and raised her voice sharply,
00:09:21letting it ring out across the entire hall.
00:09:23Sister,
00:09:23I know you're jealous of me,
00:09:25but you have no right to push me like this.
00:09:28I hadn't shifted a single step from where I stood.
00:09:31The cheering in the hall died away in an instant.
00:09:34Every pair of eyes fixed on us both
00:09:36filled with disdain, accusation,
00:09:37and the cold dislatchment of onlookers
00:09:39ready to watch a spectacle unfold.
00:09:41Evan rushed over at once,
00:09:42lifting Selina gently into his arms
00:09:44and holding her close in a protective embrace.
00:09:46He shot me an icy glare,
00:09:48rage blazing in his eyes.
00:09:50Isabella, you've crossed every line.
00:09:53From this day on,
00:09:53I formally disavow you and cast you out of the pack.
00:09:56You are forbidden from ever stepping foot
00:09:58on our territory for the rest of your life.
00:10:03I stayed rooted to the spot
00:10:05as Evan glared at me like he could kill with his eyes,
00:10:08the air between us turning icy cold.
00:10:10I didn't hurt Selina.
00:10:13She fell on her own.
00:10:14Evan leaned down to strope Selina's back gently,
00:10:17then looked up again,
00:10:18his rage so intense
00:10:19it felt like it could burn me to the ground.
00:10:21Do you really think I'd believe the lies
00:10:23of a golden-eyed freak like you?
00:10:25Selina just got my mark,
00:10:26and she's still weak.
00:10:28How dare you touch her?
00:10:29Charlotte stepped up beside Evan,
00:10:31her eyes dripping with even more disdain,
00:10:33her voice sharp enough to cut.
00:10:36Isabella, you still won't admit what you did.
00:10:39Your excuses only make you more disgusting.
00:10:41A filthy creature like you
00:10:43belong locked up in the dungeon.
00:10:45Evan pulled Selina behind him,
00:10:46unleashing his overwhelming alpha aura in a heartbeat.
00:10:50I see pressure washing over the entire hall.
00:10:53He started the formal mate rejection
00:10:54right there in front of everyone.
00:10:56No trace of regret in his eyes,
00:10:57only pure coldness and contempt.
00:10:59I, Evan,
00:11:00reject you as my mate.
00:11:01I lifted my eyes to meet his gaze,
00:11:03my voice as calm as a frozen lake.
00:11:06I accept your rejection.
00:11:07The mate bond snapped suddenly,
00:11:09a searing, tearing pain
00:11:10shooting through every part of my body.
00:11:11The agony of the bond breaking hit first,
00:11:13and then tears slipped silently down my cheeks.
00:11:15The mate bond that had held us together for three years
00:11:18was breaking apart, fading little by little,
00:11:20each piece throbbing with a dull ache.
00:11:22But none of that pain came close to the cold emptiness in my chest.
00:11:25I curled my fingers tight,
00:11:27nails digging deep into my palms,
00:11:28forcing myself to bear the searing agony.
00:11:30You can't bear airs.
00:11:31The worst shame an alpha could ever face.
00:11:34Selima's nothing like you.
00:11:36She carries the pure-blood Luna Linerage,
00:11:39and only she's worthy of standing by my side,
00:11:42bearing my strongest pups,
00:11:43and leading the pack to greater glory.
00:11:48Selina leaned comfortably in Evan's arms,
00:11:50her eyes glinting with a taunting edge,
00:11:53as she stared at my disheveled state.
00:11:56Sister, why are you still standing here?
00:11:59If I were you,
00:12:00I'd hurry up and pack my things to leave.
00:12:03Don't linger here being a bother,
00:12:04watching them throw jabs back and forth,
00:12:07their contempt plain as day.
00:12:08My mind wandered back to a memory from long ago,
00:12:11of being rescued.
00:12:12Out on the frozen plains,
00:12:14caught in wind and snow,
00:12:15I lay wounded and gave me a second chance.
00:12:17It was Joseph he told me I carried
00:12:19an extremely rare pure-blood Luna lineage.
00:12:22Later, on his deathbed,
00:12:23he held my hand tight,
00:12:26his gaze earnest,
00:12:27as he begged me to protect Evan and his pack
00:12:29with everything I had.
00:12:31Joseph, look at what's become of us.
00:12:32For three years,
00:12:34I've guarded your pack faithfully,
00:12:36warding off rogue attacks this entire time.
00:12:38I've even quietly nourished the pack lands
00:12:40with my Luna energy,
00:12:41making them stronger and more thriving
00:12:43with each passing day.
00:12:44Yet now,
00:12:45your own son chases me away.
00:12:47I've seen his true colors clearly.
00:12:49He's never been worth my protection.
00:12:51In that moment,
00:12:52the last bit of gratitude I'd felt
00:12:53for Joseph vanished completely.
00:12:55I'd kept my promise,
00:12:57and my debt was paid in full.
00:12:59Evan,
00:13:00after these three years,
00:13:01I owe you nothing,
00:13:02and I owe your pack nothing either.
00:13:04I only hope you never come to regret this day.
00:13:07Evan let out a scoff of disbelief,
00:13:10looking away from me in disgust,
00:13:11his tone again in dismissal.
00:13:13Regret?
00:13:14Cutting loose a burden like you
00:13:16is the smartest thing I've ever done.
00:13:17Now get out of my sight.
00:13:19Now.
00:13:19The mate bond shattered entirely.
00:13:21Not a single thread of connection
00:13:23left between us.
00:13:24Just then,
00:13:24Evan's brows fronted sharply,
00:13:26his alpha aura tensing up in an instant.
00:13:28Many pack members looked up too,
00:13:30their expressions on edge.
00:13:31A faint yet thick rustling sound
00:13:32drifted from the edge of the manor,
00:13:34low and menacing.
00:13:35It was the sound of rogues closing in,
00:13:37hundreds of miles away
00:13:39and closing fast.
00:13:42Little did they know,
00:13:43with me reject and cast out,
00:13:45my all-encompassing Luna protection barrier
00:13:47had vanished, completely.
00:13:49The feral rogues I'd held back,
00:13:51kept at bay for three long years,
00:13:54were now charging straight
00:13:55for their borders in droves.
00:13:57And now that I'm gone,
00:13:59how will a weak alpha,
00:14:01paired with a fake mate
00:14:02who has no true Luna power at all,
00:14:04defend this pack against
00:14:05thousands of bloodthirsty rogues?
00:14:10Get to the pack perimeter now
00:14:12and check out that noise.
00:14:13Waste any time,
00:14:15and you'll pay with your lives.
00:14:17Yes, sir.
00:14:21You're scared, Evan.
00:14:22This is what happens when you reject me.
00:14:24The rogues are closing in.
00:14:25Spare me your empty threats
00:14:26and delusional garbage.
00:14:28I formerly banished you.
00:14:29Know your place and leave.
00:14:30My pack hasn't seen a rogue in years.
00:14:32Do you really think you can curse us?
00:14:34You're just spouting nonsense
00:14:35out of spite for being cast aside,
00:14:37trying to stir up trouble.
00:14:38Exactly.
00:14:39Isabella,
00:14:40you can't stand being thrown out
00:14:41so you want to curse our pack?
00:14:42I see your true colors now.
00:14:44You're cruel to the core.
00:14:45If the rogues really come,
00:14:47you'll be the first one they grab.
00:14:49Let's see who's there to protect you then.
00:14:51Watching their hypocritical,
00:14:52colliding faces,
00:14:53I felt nothing but cold amusement.
00:14:55There was no point in wasting
00:14:56another word on them.
00:14:57I'd kept my promise,
00:14:58settled all scores.
00:14:59No reason to linger in this
00:15:01repulsive place any longer,
00:15:02putting up with their endless
00:15:03mockery and disdain.
00:15:05But the second I took a step to leave,
00:15:07Charlotte rushed over and cut me off.
00:15:09Hold it right there.
00:15:10You're not going anywhere.
00:15:13Isabella,
00:15:14Evans formally marked Selina,
00:15:16and the pack's true Luna
00:15:17is now in her rightful place.
00:15:18It's time you hand over that emblem.
00:15:19This sacred treasure,
00:15:21a symbol of the pack's glory,
00:15:22has no business resting
00:15:23on a freak like you.
00:15:25Exactly.
00:15:26Such a precious relic
00:15:27can't be tainted
00:15:27by someone unworthy.
00:15:28It belongs to me,
00:15:30the one who carries
00:15:31the pure-blood Luna lineage.
00:15:33Lady Luna Charlotte,
00:15:34I can feel the power
00:15:35in this emblem calling to me.
00:15:36Could it be,
00:15:37is the hidden pure-blood Luna lineage
00:15:39inside me finally waking up?
00:15:40Do you really believe
00:15:42that's what's happening, Selina?
00:15:43It has to be true.
00:15:45Only a noble,
00:15:46pure, silver-eyed werewolf
00:15:47is worthy of wearing this emblem.
00:15:49Not like some outscat
00:15:51who's clung to a sacred relic
00:15:52for years,
00:15:52can't even bear an heir
00:15:54and wastes its power for nothing.
00:16:18Only those with true Luna blood
00:16:20can bear this emblem.
00:16:21A fake like you
00:16:22will never be worthy of it.
00:16:27Isabella,
00:16:28did you do this?
00:16:29Did you use witchcraft
00:16:30to control the alum
00:16:31and hurt me on purpose?
00:16:33You cruel bitch!
00:16:34You just can't stand
00:16:35to see me happy!
00:16:38Isabella,
00:16:39you've gone too far.
00:16:40Pushing her wasn't enough,
00:16:42so you stooped
00:16:42to dirty tricks
00:16:43with dark witchcraft
00:16:44to hurt her again?
00:16:45How low can you get?
00:16:47His voice held
00:16:48a desperate urgency
00:16:49I'd never heard
00:16:50from him before.
00:16:51His fingers brushed gently
00:16:52around the burning wound
00:16:54on Selina's chest,
00:16:55his touch impossibly tender
00:16:56and careful.
00:16:57The very tenderness
00:16:58I'd stayed by his side
00:17:00for three years,
00:17:01craving,
00:17:01yet never once getting.
00:17:02I'd never sink that low.
00:17:04I'd never degrade myself
00:17:05by using such vile garbage
00:17:07as witchcraft.
00:17:07I finally got it.
00:17:08It wasn't that
00:17:09he couldn't be tender,
00:17:10it was just that
00:17:11his tenderly
00:17:11was never meant for me.
00:17:12Why?
00:17:15You wore this emblem
00:17:16for three years
00:17:16and never had
00:17:17a single problem.
00:17:18Why does it hurt Selina
00:17:19the second she touches it?
00:17:21Could it be...
00:17:23Could you be the real
00:17:24pure-blood Luna
00:17:25after all?
00:17:30Everyone froze,
00:17:31their eyes turning
00:17:31straight to me,
00:17:32filled with shock,
00:17:33doubt,
00:17:33and utter disbelief.
00:17:35No,
00:17:35it can't be.
00:17:37Evan,
00:17:38she only grew used
00:17:39to the emblem's aura
00:17:40from wearing it
00:17:41for so long.
00:17:41She is never the true
00:17:43pure-blood Luna heir.
00:17:44She must have cast
00:17:45witchcraft on the emblem
00:17:46beforehand
00:17:47to hurt me on purpose.
00:17:50Evan,
00:17:51do not let your mind wander.
00:17:53It is all Isabella's doing.
00:17:55Out of jealousy
00:17:56towards Selina,
00:17:56she schemed in secret,
00:17:58making the emblem
00:17:59harm Selina
00:17:59to confuse everyone's judgment.
00:18:01This outcast
00:18:02has a vicious heart.
00:18:07Do you really think
00:18:08I'd believe
00:18:08some golden-eyed freak
00:18:09is the true Luna heir?
00:18:11Ridiculous.
00:18:12You're just a petty,
00:18:12useless outcast
00:18:13begging for a title
00:18:14you don't deserve.
00:18:15Now get out
00:18:15and don't dare
00:18:16tarnish them Selina
00:18:17with your presence.
00:18:17Stop loitering here
00:18:18and getting in the way.
00:18:19Leave the main pack house
00:18:20at once
00:18:20and never show
00:18:21your face to us again.
00:18:23Listening to these
00:18:23absurdly absurd accusations
00:18:25I finally let out
00:18:26a cold laugh.
00:18:27There was no warmth
00:18:28in it at all.
00:18:29Carry all the forbearance
00:18:30and heartbreak
00:18:30of these three years.
00:18:36I walked out
00:18:37of the main pack house
00:18:37step by step.
00:18:39Three years of protection
00:18:40had only earned me
00:18:40betrayal,
00:18:41blame,
00:18:42and banishment.
00:18:43Even the last trace
00:18:44of hope in my heart
00:18:45was completely shattered.
00:18:46I pushed open
00:18:47the door to my home.
00:18:49Live room done
00:18:49was dent.
00:18:50And my father Marcus
00:18:51sat on the sofa
00:18:52with a cigarette
00:18:53between his fingers,
00:18:54undisguised mockery
00:18:55in his eyes.
00:18:56He lifted his gaze
00:18:57to me at the sound
00:18:58of footsteps.
00:18:59What happened?
00:19:00Driven back in disgrace
00:19:01after Evan broke
00:19:02your mate bond?
00:19:03I always knew
00:19:04a freak with strange eyes
00:19:05like you could never
00:19:06hold an alpha's heart,
00:19:07nor deserve the position
00:19:08of Luna.
00:19:09He took a good drag
00:19:09from his cigarette
00:19:10and exhaled the smoke
00:19:11slowly.
00:19:12Fortunately,
00:19:12I have two daughters.
00:19:14Selina is far more
00:19:15promising than you.
00:19:16Now that Evan
00:19:17has marked her,
00:19:17she will soon become
00:19:19the pack's Luna
00:19:19and bring me
00:19:20endless glory.
00:19:21Unlike you,
00:19:22born with those
00:19:23unlucky golden eyes,
00:19:24never able to succeed
00:19:25at anything since childhood.
00:19:26When I was young,
00:19:27Selina was always
00:19:28the only one seen
00:19:29on the pack training grounds.
00:19:30Father claimed
00:19:31silver eyes stood
00:19:32for pure lineage,
00:19:33and only Selina
00:19:34deserved formal training.
00:19:35I could only hide
00:19:36in the corner,
00:19:37watching them laugh
00:19:38and rejoice.
00:19:38I possessed the very
00:19:39power they valued,
00:19:41yet no one ever
00:19:41taught me how to wield it.
00:19:42With time,
00:19:43everyone came to see me
00:19:44as a powerless,
00:19:45useless nobody.
00:19:46Not even my father
00:19:47had ever truly
00:19:48looked at me
00:19:48with kindness.
00:19:49Marcus stood up
00:19:50and walked before me,
00:19:51looking down at me
00:19:52from above.
00:19:52There was no trace
00:19:53of fatherly affection
00:19:54in his eyes,
00:19:55only cold calculation.
00:19:56Now that Evan
00:19:57has cast you aside,
00:19:58you have no more use left.
00:20:00I raised you
00:20:00all these years.
00:20:02I cannot keep
00:20:02feeding you for nothing.
00:20:03I have sold you
00:20:04to a crude,
00:20:05low-rank werewolf
00:20:05from the black market.
00:20:07Though he is poor
00:20:08and unculturated,
00:20:09he is willing to borrow
00:20:10a large sump
00:20:10to buy you.
00:20:13Father,
00:20:14what are you saying?
00:20:15Sell me?
00:20:16I refuse.
00:20:17Refuse?
00:20:18What right do you have?
00:20:20You cannot even
00:20:20bear children,
00:20:21not qualified enough
00:20:22to be a breeder.
00:20:24What good are you
00:20:24besides being sold off?
00:20:28Father,
00:20:29selling someone
00:20:30of my lineage
00:20:31will bring you
00:20:31retribution.
00:20:33Retribution?
00:20:34All I know
00:20:34is keeping you
00:20:35is a waste of food.
00:20:36Selling you brings
00:20:36real profit.
00:20:37Where is any retribution?
00:20:38I clenched my fists,
00:20:39my voice shaking
00:20:40with a screed
00:20:40and defiance
00:20:41as I met his gaze directly.
00:20:42Part of the money
00:20:43from selling you
00:20:43to buy Selena
00:20:44top-class gown,
00:20:45dressed in fine luxury,
00:20:46Evan will love her
00:20:46even more.
00:20:47To buy a dress
00:20:48for Selena,
00:20:48to win her Evan's affection.
00:20:50My own father
00:20:50was willing to cast me
00:20:51straight into hell.
00:20:52He called out
00:20:53toward the door
00:20:53and two tall pack members
00:20:55stepped inside.
00:20:55Seize her and lock her
00:20:56in a cage,
00:20:57do not let her escape.
00:20:58Deliver her to the black market
00:20:59at dawn morrow.
00:20:59They grabbed my arms roughly,
00:21:00gripped so tight it felt
00:21:01as though they would
00:21:02crush my bones.
00:21:03I struggled in vain
00:21:04and shock faded
00:21:05completely into icy despair
00:21:06in my heart.
00:21:07In the store room room,
00:21:08a cold iron cage
00:21:09already waited.
00:21:10They shoved me inside
00:21:11and slammed the lock shut.
00:21:12The faint golden glow
00:21:13in my eyes
00:21:14grew brighter.
00:21:15I held the strength
00:21:16of a pure blood Luna,
00:21:17yet I was treated
00:21:18as worthless cargo
00:21:19to be sold off,
00:21:20never given the chance
00:21:21to unleash my power.
00:21:22Dawn had barely broken
00:21:23when footsteps echoed outside.
00:21:25I lifted my head
00:21:26to see Evan standing
00:21:26at the storage room entrance
00:21:27with Selena in his arms.
00:21:29Selena stepped forward
00:21:30to peer through the iron bars,
00:21:31her tone dripping
00:21:31with feigned sympathy
00:21:32and hypocrisy.
00:21:33Sister,
00:21:34I have no choice.
00:21:35It is father's decision.
00:21:36I tried to persuade him,
00:21:38but he would not listen.
00:21:39Just resign yourself
00:21:40to being a slave.
00:21:41I will serve well
00:21:42as the Pax Luna
00:21:42from now on,
00:21:43solidify my position
00:21:44and live up
00:21:45to everyone's expectations.
00:21:47Marrying you
00:21:47in the first place
00:21:48was nothing but my father's
00:21:49momentary foolishness,
00:21:50foolish enough to treasure
00:21:51an outcast like you.
00:21:52Looking back,
00:21:53breaking our mate bond
00:21:53in time was the wisest choice
00:21:54I ever made.
00:21:55With that,
00:21:56he turned to Selena
00:21:57beside him
00:21:57and stroked her hair gently,
00:21:59the very tenderness
00:22:00I had longed
00:22:01for countless times.
00:22:02Yet in this moment,
00:22:03watching the scene unfold,
00:22:05I felt nothing at all.
00:22:06No sorrow,
00:22:07no resentment,
00:22:08only utter emptiness
00:22:09and calm.
00:22:10My three years of devotion
00:22:12had long worn away
00:22:13under his endless cruelty
00:22:14and prejudice.
00:22:15I even found it laughable
00:22:16that I had once held
00:22:17any hope
00:22:18for such a cold,
00:22:19selfish man.
00:22:19Evan lowered his head
00:22:20to brush her hair fondly
00:22:22and was about to speak.
00:22:23A pack member rushed inside
00:22:24in a panic,
00:22:25his voice trembling.
00:22:26Alpha Evan,
00:22:27disaster.
00:22:28Several pack members
00:22:29have been found dead
00:22:29at the territory border,
00:22:30their bodies reeking
00:22:31of strong rogue scent.
00:22:32The tenderness on Evan's face
00:22:34vanished in an instant.
00:22:35His expression turned taut,
00:22:37filled with disbelief.
00:22:38What?
00:22:38Rogues?
00:22:39No rogues have ever come
00:22:40near our borders
00:22:41in three years.
00:22:42How could our people
00:22:42be killed all of a sudden?
00:22:44He frowned deeply,
00:22:45his gaze slowly falling on me
00:22:47as he looked me up and down.
00:22:48A flicker of doubt
00:22:49and disbelief crossed his eyes,
00:22:51his tone tentative.
00:22:52Could it be
00:22:53the reason no rogues
00:22:55drew near all these years
00:22:56was because of you?
00:22:57Was that the real reason
00:22:59my father Joseph
00:22:59insisted you stay by my side?
00:23:02The moment Selina heard this,
00:23:04she clung tightly to Evan's arm,
00:23:06eager to quiet his doubts
00:23:07and turn all blame onto me.
00:23:09Evan, do not entertain
00:23:10such foolish thoughts.
00:23:11How could it ever be her?
00:23:12She is nothing but a useless freak
00:23:14with strange eyes.
00:23:16What great power
00:23:17could she possibly possess?
00:23:19She must hold a grudge
00:23:20after you rejected her
00:23:21and father sold her away.
00:23:23She lured the rogues here
00:23:24on purpose
00:23:24to get revenge
00:23:25and destroy our pack.
00:23:26The doubt in his eyes
00:23:28faded completely,
00:23:29replaced by deeper
00:23:29loathing and rage.
00:23:30You are right.
00:23:31How could I ever believe
00:23:32an outcast holds
00:23:33such great power?
00:23:34It was you who lured
00:23:35the rogues here
00:23:35out of spite,
00:23:36getting our own people killed.
00:23:37His voice turned icy
00:23:38and killing Intect
00:23:39blazed in his eyes.
00:23:40I am heading to deal
00:23:42with the murders
00:23:42at the border now.
00:23:43I will settle this score
00:23:45with you when I return.
00:23:46Selling you to the black market
00:23:47is far too lenient.
00:23:49By rights,
00:23:50a vicious outwrit like you
00:23:51deserves hanging
00:23:51to comfort the souls
00:23:52of the fallen pack members.
00:23:54With that,
00:23:54he did not spare me
00:23:55another glance.
00:23:56Wrapping an arm
00:23:57around Selena's waist,
00:23:58he turned and left quickly,
00:23:59his footsteps fading away,
00:24:01leaving me alone
00:24:01in the cold iron cage.
00:24:03I curled up on the cage floor
00:24:04and stared toward the door.
00:24:06Evan,
00:24:06you will regret this.
00:24:08Before long,
00:24:08two pack members
00:24:09hurried over.
00:24:10They roughly unlocked the cage,
00:24:11grabbed my arms,
00:24:12and dragged me out
00:24:13of the storage room,
00:24:14shoving me into
00:24:15an old transport vehicle.
00:24:16After an endless ride,
00:24:17the vehicle finally
00:24:18came to a stop
00:24:19and the door swung open,
00:24:20flooding the space
00:24:21with harsh sunlight.
00:24:22I was dragged out
00:24:23and thrown onto the ground.
00:24:24This place was the black market
00:24:26for low-rank werewolf trades,
00:24:27filled with females
00:24:28sold as breeders,
00:24:29outcasts auctioned off
00:24:30as slaves,
00:24:31every face etched
00:24:31with numbness and despair.
00:24:33I had no idea
00:24:33who would buy me next,
00:24:35nor what cruel fate
00:24:36awaited me.
00:24:38Two pack members
00:24:39pressed down hard
00:24:40on my shoulders,
00:24:41forcing me forward
00:24:41unsteadily.
00:24:42Soon they stopped
00:24:43and pushed me before a man.
00:24:45Sebastian,
00:24:45we have brought the girl to you.
00:24:47Marcus instructed us
00:24:47to hand her over personally.
00:24:49The man lifted his eyes slightly,
00:24:51saying nothing at first,
00:24:52only looking me over
00:24:53with a cold,
00:24:53emotionless expression.
00:24:54He wore rough,
00:24:55tattered clothes
00:24:56faded from wear
00:24:56with several tears
00:24:57here and there.
00:24:58Yet his frame was broad
00:24:59and powerful,
00:24:59his shoulders as solid
00:25:00as a wall.
00:25:01His features were sharp
00:25:02and stern,
00:25:02his jawline tight
00:25:03with shovel lining his jaw.
00:25:04A wild, unapproachable aura
00:25:06clung to him,
00:25:06giving him a down-brought
00:25:07and yet dominasing air.
00:25:09Rest assured,
00:25:09she is untouched.
00:25:12Only she failed
00:25:13to bear an air
00:25:13for Alpha Heaven.
00:25:15Be quiet.
00:25:17His voice was deep
00:25:18and hoarsely
00:25:19with a rough edge,
00:25:20impatience clear
00:25:21in his tone.
00:25:21The pack member
00:25:22flinched in fright,
00:25:23bowed quickly
00:25:24and retreated.
00:25:25Only the two of us
00:25:26remained.
00:25:26He said nothing,
00:25:27simply looking down
00:25:28at me with an unnerving calm.
00:25:30No greed,
00:25:30no judgment,
00:25:31only unyielding dominance.
00:25:33Let go of me!
00:25:34Sebastian glanced down
00:25:35at my reddened wrist,
00:25:37loosening his grip slightly
00:25:38yet still refusing
00:25:39to release me.
00:25:40Save your words.
00:25:41Just come with me.
00:25:43Up close,
00:25:44I saw his eyes
00:25:45held unfathomable depth,
00:25:46hiding a quiet restraint
00:25:47and an innate nobility
00:25:48beneath his rough exterior.
00:25:50Even in ragged clothes
00:25:51covered in dust,
00:25:52his hidden sharp aroma
00:25:53could not be concealed.
00:25:54Somehow,
00:25:55the moment he touched
00:25:56my wrist,
00:25:57the werewolf's spiritual power
00:25:58inside me
00:25:59stirred restlessly.
00:26:01Heat spread through my veins
00:26:02to every corner
00:26:03of my body,
00:26:04making my breath
00:26:05quick up uncontrollably.
00:26:09The wolf inside me
00:26:10roared wildly,
00:26:11its cry echoing clearly
00:26:12and urgently in my heart.
00:26:14I pushed down
00:26:15the swirling confusion
00:26:16and flutter in my chest
00:26:17and followed him
00:26:18silently forward,
00:26:19uncertain of what lay ahead.
00:26:20The car traveled
00:26:21for a long time
00:26:22before finally stopping
00:26:23outside a plain wooden cottage.
00:26:24It was not large,
00:26:25even simple in design,
00:26:26yet spotlessly clean.
00:26:28Even the weeds
00:26:28in the yard
00:26:29were neatly trimmed.
00:26:30A stark contrast
00:26:30to his rough
00:26:31hawked around to my side
00:26:32and steadabled me gently.
00:26:33His touch was soft
00:26:34and restrained,
00:26:35nothing like his
00:26:36brusque manner earlier.
00:26:38I looked up at him,
00:26:39my confusion deepening.
00:26:40All that roughness
00:26:41and coldness
00:26:42had truly been nothing
00:26:43but a mask he wore
00:26:44at the black market.
00:26:45Beneath it lay
00:26:45unexpected gentleness,
00:26:47leaving me utterly
00:26:48unable to read him.
00:26:49I followed him inside.
00:26:51The furnishings were simple,
00:26:52only a wooden sofa,
00:26:53a dining table,
00:26:54and two closed doors.
00:26:55Yet everything
00:26:56was immaculate
00:26:57and orderly,
00:26:58the table polished
00:26:58bright enough
00:26:59to see one's reflection.
00:27:00It was clear
00:27:01the place was carefully tended.
00:27:02I stood frozen,
00:27:03thinking to myself,
00:27:04now that he has bought me
00:27:05from the black market.
00:27:06I am his property
00:27:08after all.
00:27:08I ought to learn
00:27:09to wait on him
00:27:10and tend to his needs.
00:27:13Let me take your coat
00:27:14for you.
00:27:15It is covered in dust.
00:27:17No need.
00:27:18The moment my fingertips
00:27:19brushed the hem
00:27:20of his coat,
00:27:21Sebastian stepped back
00:27:22intinctively,
00:27:23evading my touch.
00:27:24I pulled my hand back,
00:27:26a trace of disappointment
00:27:27settling in my heart,
00:27:28unable to understand
00:27:29why he treated me
00:27:30with such cold distance.
00:27:35I...
00:27:36I want to do
00:27:37something for you.
00:27:38I can't idle around
00:27:39all day.
00:27:40Sebastian glanced up
00:27:41at me,
00:27:41his tone cold
00:27:42and distant.
00:27:43There's nothing
00:27:44you need to do.
00:27:45Just stay by my side
00:27:47at night.
00:27:47I've already arranged
00:27:48a maid to look after you.
00:27:49My heart sank immediately.
00:27:50We were bound by blood,
00:27:52faded mates,
00:27:53yet he only saw me
00:27:53as someone to warm his bed
00:27:55and satisfy his desires.
00:27:56He treated me even worse
00:27:57than Evan ever did.
00:27:58Just then,
00:27:59a slim young girl
00:27:59stepped out of one
00:28:00of the rooms.
00:28:01She had sharp,
00:28:02unriggily eyes
00:28:02and her hair tied
00:28:03in a neat ponytail.
00:28:04The moment she laid eyes
00:28:05on me,
00:28:05her expression turned icy.
00:28:07She frowned openly,
00:28:08looking unimpressed,
00:28:09her voice edged
00:28:09with sarcasm.
00:28:10Brother,
00:28:11is this the girl
00:28:12you tried so hard to buy?
00:28:13She looks plain,
00:28:15skinny,
00:28:15and those golden eyes
00:28:16are a freak.
00:28:18What's so special about her
00:28:20that you'd go all out?
00:28:23Ella,
00:28:24watch your tone.
00:28:26Ella pouted,
00:28:27shot me a sharp glare,
00:28:28said nothing else,
00:28:30then turned and slammed
00:28:31her door shut,
00:28:32clearly resentful.
00:28:35At that moment,
00:28:37maid Clara walked over
00:28:38with a glass of water.
00:28:39She stopped as soon
00:28:40as she saw me
00:28:41and gave a respectful,
00:28:42slight bow.
00:28:43Miss,
00:28:44my name is Clara.
00:28:47I'll be your maid
00:28:48and take care
00:28:49of your daily needs.
00:28:51For the next week,
00:28:52Sebastian left early
00:28:53and returned late.
00:28:55Every night,
00:28:56he would be intimate with me,
00:28:57possessive,
00:28:58yet always keeping
00:28:59an emotional distance.
00:29:01Could it be that in his eyes,
00:29:03I would never be worth
00:29:04genuine care,
00:29:05never worthy of being
00:29:06his rightful mate?
00:29:10Lately,
00:29:11my werewolf powers
00:29:12had been acting strange.
00:29:13My monthly spiritual cycle
00:29:15was long overdue.
00:29:17Sebastian remained secretive,
00:29:19never letting anyone know
00:29:21where he went during the day.
00:29:22His nightly closeness felt
00:29:24deliberately detached.
00:29:26The huge wooden house
00:29:28always felt empty without him,
00:29:31loneliness coiling around me
00:29:32like creeping vines.
00:29:34Restless,
00:29:34I turned on the PAC News channel.
00:29:37One news report made me race felt
00:29:39made me freeze on the spot.
00:29:41Reporter,
00:29:42Marcus of the Blood Moon TAC
00:29:43died mysteriously
00:29:44at home last week.
00:29:45No visible wounds
00:29:46were found on his body,
00:29:47and the cause of death
00:29:48remains unknown.
00:29:49Alpha Evan has ordered
00:29:51a full investigation,
00:29:52with no new leads
00:29:54released so far.
00:29:55I stared at Marcus'
00:29:56photo on screen,
00:29:57tightening my grip
00:29:58on the remote.
00:29:59I felt a twinge
00:30:00of conflict inside,
00:30:02but mostly quiet relief.
00:30:04Father,
00:30:05you brought this
00:30:05on yourself.
00:30:07You sold me off
00:30:08like merchandise-y
00:30:09without a second thought,
00:30:10ignored me completely,
00:30:12and treated Selena
00:30:13and me nothing alike.
00:30:14What happened to you now
00:30:15is your own fault.
00:30:17No one else is to blame.
00:30:19Right after I spoke,
00:30:20a wave of sudden nausea
00:30:22rushed up my throat.
00:30:23I clamped a hand
00:30:24over my mouth
00:30:25and rushed to the bathroom
00:30:26throwing up,
00:30:27feeling weak all over.
00:30:29Clara happened to bring
00:30:30fruit by
00:30:31and hurried over
00:30:31to steady me.
00:30:33Miss,
00:30:34are you all right?
00:30:35You look unwell.
00:30:36I'll go fetch a healer
00:30:37right away.
00:30:38Please hold on.
00:30:39I nodded weakly.
00:30:41Soon,
00:30:42Clara returned
00:30:42with a werewolf physician.
00:30:44There's no need to worry.
00:30:45You're perfectly healthy
00:30:46physically.
00:30:47The nausea,
00:30:48vomiting,
00:30:48and unstable spiritual energy
00:30:50are all symptoms
00:30:51of pregnancy.
00:30:52I stared at the physician
00:30:54in shock.
00:30:54The woman Evan mocked
00:30:56as Behrend,
00:30:56the one my own father
00:30:57dismissed as unfit
00:30:59to bear offspring,
00:30:59was now carrying a child.
00:31:03My mind was in chaos.
00:31:05I tried reaching Sebastian
00:31:06through the werewolf mind link,
00:31:08hoping to tell him
00:31:09quietly I was pregnant.
00:31:10But no matter how
00:31:11I sent my thoughts,
00:31:12there was only silence
00:31:13from his side.
00:31:14No reply at all.
00:31:18I was growing anxious
00:31:20when a messenger
00:31:20from Werewolf Academy
00:31:22arrived at the door,
00:31:23clearly flustered.
00:31:28Is Mr. Sebastian home?
00:31:30Miss Ella got into a fight
00:31:31at the youth training camp
00:31:32and hurt another student.
00:31:33The school was asking
00:31:34for a family member
00:31:34to come sort this out immediately.
00:31:36Sebastian was still
00:31:37nowhere to be found,
00:31:38and the mind link
00:31:39still wouldn't connect.
00:31:40I was the one
00:31:41he'd bought at the black market.
00:31:43With no one else available,
00:31:44I had no choice
00:31:45but to go in his place
00:31:46and settle the dispute
00:31:47at the academy.
00:31:51Werewolf Academy
00:31:52stood on neutral land,
00:31:54independent of any pack,
00:31:55where young werewolves
00:31:57from all clans
00:31:58came to train and study.
00:31:59I drove to the academy alone.
00:32:03In the distance,
00:32:04I saw Ella being lectured
00:32:05by a middle-aged woman
00:32:06whose back was turned to me.
00:32:09Ella and another boy
00:32:10were called
00:32:10into the dean's office.
00:32:12I walked over
00:32:13to speak to the woman.
00:32:14There's no need
00:32:14to embarrass a pup like this.
00:32:16We can talk this over calmly.
00:32:18When I got a clear look
00:32:18at her face,
00:32:19I realized it was
00:32:20Evan's aunt, Martha.
00:32:22Martha looked me
00:32:23up and down slowly,
00:32:24her gaze full of contempt,
00:32:25her tone sharp and cutting.
00:32:26Well, look who decided
00:32:27to show up.
00:32:29Kicked out of your pack,
00:32:30sold to the black market
00:32:31by your own father,
00:32:32and now you live
00:32:33like a nobody.
00:32:35How dare you meddle
00:32:37in our family's business.
00:32:41I met her gaze
00:32:42without an ounce
00:32:43of timeliness.
00:32:44My life is none
00:32:44of your business.
00:32:46Even after being sold,
00:32:47I'm restooped as low
00:32:48as you,
00:32:48lambing into your pack power,
00:32:50bullying the weak
00:32:51and picking on a pup
00:32:52in public.
00:32:54Martha's face turned dark,
00:32:55firing back
00:32:56without remorse.
00:32:57Me bullying her?
00:32:59Ella started it.
00:33:01She attacked
00:33:02my son Jack first.
00:33:03Am I allowed
00:33:04to discipline her?
00:33:06I knew very well
00:33:08Jack had always been
00:33:08arrogant and dominant
00:33:10in Evan's territory,
00:33:11always picking on
00:33:12the weaker students
00:33:13and never stayed
00:33:14out of trouble.
00:33:15Ella is quiet by nature
00:33:17and never picks fights
00:33:18for no reason.
00:33:19She only lashed out
00:33:20because your son
00:33:21mocked and provoked
00:33:22her first.
00:33:23Left lost for words
00:33:24by my reply,
00:33:26Martha flew into a rage,
00:33:27dropping all pretend
00:33:28of politeness
00:33:29and raising her
00:33:30her hand to slap me.
00:33:33I blocked her
00:33:34instinctively.
00:33:35The moment
00:33:36our hands touched,
00:33:37a powerful
00:33:38and invisible
00:33:38divine force
00:33:39purged out of me,
00:33:41pinning her rigid
00:33:41in place,
00:33:42unable to move
00:33:43a muscle.
00:33:45I was stunned myself,
00:33:47never expecting
00:33:48to suddenly awaken
00:33:49such power.
00:33:50Deep inside me,
00:33:51my wolf spirit
00:33:52spoke.
00:33:53Mistress,
00:33:54it is your pregnancy.
00:33:56The life growing
00:33:57inside you
00:33:57has fully awakened
00:33:58your dormant
00:33:59ancient lunar bloodline.
00:34:00your divine power
00:34:01will only grow stronger
00:34:02from here on.
00:34:05I stood there
00:34:06completely dumbfounded.
00:34:11Trapped by my power,
00:34:13Martha stared at me
00:34:14in utter disbelief.
00:34:15What?
00:34:16You've never had
00:34:18formal werewolf training?
00:34:19A discarded outcast
00:34:21sold at the black market.
00:34:23How can...
00:34:25How can you wield
00:34:27such powerful
00:34:28divine magic?
00:34:30Just then,
00:34:31a cold familiar voice
00:34:33came from behind me.
00:34:34I turned slowly
00:34:35to see Evan
00:34:36walking toward me.
00:34:37Selena clung tightly
00:34:38to his side,
00:34:39dressed in an elegant gown
00:34:40with perfect makeup,
00:34:41her eyes glinting
00:34:42with quiet amusement
00:34:43at the scene.
00:34:44Evan fixed me
00:34:45with a cold stern look.
00:34:47Isabella?
00:34:48You've grown far too bold.
00:34:50How dare you lay hands
00:34:52on my aunt?
00:34:53You've lost all sense
00:34:54of manners and decency.
00:34:57Our mate bond
00:34:58was broken long ago.
00:34:59We have nothing
00:35:00left between us.
00:35:01Martha has always
00:35:02treated me with malice
00:35:03and scorn
00:35:04and now she bullies
00:35:05a pup unjustly.
00:35:06I owe her
00:35:06no respect whatsoever.
00:35:07Evan scanned
00:35:08my plain simple clothes
00:35:09from head to toe,
00:35:10his eyes filled
00:35:11with disdain.
00:35:13After being sold
00:35:14to the black market,
00:35:15you've become crude
00:35:16and reckless.
00:35:17Your manners are gone,
00:35:18you're dressed plain
00:35:19and shabby.
00:35:20Not a trace
00:35:21of your old poise remains.
00:35:22Beside him,
00:35:23Selina put on
00:35:24a soft, gentle act,
00:35:25pretending to mediate
00:35:26while secretly
00:35:27stirring up trouble.
00:35:29Evan, don't let this
00:35:30upset you.
00:35:31Sister has fallen
00:35:32so far now.
00:35:33Her judgment
00:35:34and grace
00:35:35are long gone.
00:35:36There's no need
00:35:36to argue with her.
00:35:37Evan frowned,
00:35:38stepping aside
00:35:39to avoid the crowd's gaze,
00:35:40then spoke to me
00:35:41in a low voice.
00:35:41Come with me,
00:35:42I need to talk
00:35:42to you privately.
00:35:45I followed him aside,
00:35:46growing impatient,
00:35:47wondering what
00:35:48he wanted now.
00:35:49Instead of answering
00:35:50right away,
00:35:50he leaned in
00:35:51and breathed
00:35:52in the scent
00:35:52of my hair.
00:35:53I've missed you
00:35:54a lot lately.
00:35:55His eyes lingered
00:35:56greedily on my neck
00:35:57as his hand
00:35:57drifted restlessly
00:35:58to my waist.
00:36:00I turned my head
00:36:01away to avoid him.
00:36:02Isabella,
00:36:03I miss being with you.
00:36:04Being with Selina,
00:36:06it's nothing
00:36:06compared to you.
00:36:07He almost sounded
00:36:08wronged,
00:36:08as if I owed him
00:36:09something.
00:36:09Then his tone
00:36:10turned cold
00:36:10as he mentioned
00:36:11the man who'd bought me,
00:36:12seething with jealousy
00:36:13at the thought of me
00:36:13belonging to a rough nobody.
00:36:15He stepped closer
00:36:16and lowered his voice.
00:36:16Come back and be
00:36:17my mistress.
00:36:18I'll give you
00:36:18mansions, jewels,
00:36:19silk gowns.
00:36:21Everything Selina has,
00:36:22you'll have.
00:36:23And more.
00:36:23I looked at his
00:36:24desperate, prideful act
00:36:25and suddenly laughed.
00:36:29Even if he had
00:36:30nothing at all,
00:36:31he's still better
00:36:32than you.
00:36:33That one sentence
00:36:34made his face
00:36:34burn red,
00:36:35as if I'd slapped
00:36:36him in public.
00:36:37I'd struck his
00:36:38fragile ego,
00:36:39thin as eggshell.
00:36:41Just then,
00:36:41Selina walked over
00:36:42from a distance,
00:36:43eyeing us suspiciously
00:36:44and asking what
00:36:45we were talking about.
00:36:47I shook my head
00:36:48and said nothing,
00:36:49but as several
00:36:49wereswolves walked past,
00:36:51I deliberately
00:36:51raised my voice.
00:36:52There's something
00:36:52everyone should know.
00:36:53Evan
00:36:55is infertile.
00:36:59Evan spun around,
00:37:01glaring at me sharply.
00:37:02His wolf pupil
00:37:03slitted with rage
00:37:03and embarrassment,
00:37:04his face draining of color.
00:37:06The passing werewolves
00:37:06stopped and watched,
00:37:08whispering and slurkering,
00:37:09their mocking eyes
00:37:10burning into Evan.
00:37:12Selina froze on the spot,
00:37:13her smile fading instantly.
00:37:15She stared at Evan
00:37:16in shock and doubt,
00:37:18studying his flustered
00:37:19expression closely.
00:37:21I stayed calm and composed,
00:37:23gently placing one hand
00:37:24over my stomach,
00:37:25my tone steady
00:37:26and unyielding.
00:37:28I'm pregnant.
00:37:30You're delirious.
00:37:32There's no way
00:37:32you could be pregnant.
00:37:33I looked on indifferently,
00:37:35no longer bothering
00:37:35to explain myself.
00:37:37Believe it or not,
00:37:39I don't owe anyone
00:37:40an explanation.
00:37:41Martha stepped forward
00:37:42at once with a sneer.
00:37:43Pregnant or not,
00:37:45it's still just some
00:37:46low-class,
00:37:48werewolf's bastard child.
00:37:50Selina quickly agreed,
00:37:51her tone sharp
00:37:52and full of scorn.
00:37:55Exactly.
00:37:56Nothing to be proud of.
00:37:57She reeks of
00:37:58common werewolf aura.
00:38:02I leaned forward slightly,
00:38:03breathing in subtly
00:38:04when near the three of them,
00:38:05my voice thick
00:38:06with mockery and certainty.
00:38:08No matter my place now,
00:38:09I'm still better
00:38:10than the three of you.
00:38:11You all reek
00:38:12of rogue stench.
00:38:13Your pack is already
00:38:14overrun by rogue raids,
00:38:16barely holding itself together.
00:38:17Yet you still come
00:38:18to this neutral school
00:38:19to bully others
00:38:20and stir up trouble.
00:38:22My words hit Evan
00:38:23right where it hurt.
00:38:25I'd seen pack news
00:38:26long before now,
00:38:28reporting his territory
00:38:29plagued by constant
00:38:30rogue attacks,
00:38:31leaving him stressed
00:38:32and sleepless.
00:38:35Evan paled instantly,
00:38:37his anger mixing
00:38:38with panic
00:38:39as he snapped back
00:38:40harshly.
00:38:43That's a lie!
00:38:45Don't spread rumors!
00:38:47My pack is perfectly safe.
00:38:53And no rogue troubles
00:38:54at all.
00:38:58Martha and Selina
00:38:59also paled,
00:39:00avoiding eye contact
00:39:00nervously,
00:39:01subtly suppressing
00:39:02their error
00:39:02to hide the rogue scent
00:39:03clinging to them.
00:39:04The onlooking werewolves
00:39:05began murmuring,
00:39:06looking at the three
00:39:07with obvious suspicion.
00:39:08Just then,
00:39:09the Academy's Elder Dean
00:39:10hurried over
00:39:10with a stern expression,
00:39:12raising a hand
00:39:12to quiet the crowd.
00:39:13That's enough!
00:39:14This is neutral
00:39:15Academy ground.
00:39:16No quarreling
00:39:17or disruption
00:39:18of student training
00:39:19will be tolerated.
00:39:20Ella and Jack
00:39:21were led out
00:39:22by school staff.
00:39:23Jack had faint
00:39:24scratch marks
00:39:25on his face.
00:39:26Ella kept her head down,
00:39:27her stubborn spirit
00:39:28clear as ever.
00:39:29I turned to Ella,
00:39:31softening my tone
00:39:32as I asked gently,
00:39:33Ella,
00:39:33what really made
00:39:34you fight Jack.
00:39:37I looked at Ella,
00:39:39her eyes red
00:39:40yet still forcing herself
00:39:41to stay strong,
00:39:42stubborn by nature.
00:39:44She rarely showed
00:39:45vulnerability,
00:39:46but now she could not
00:39:47hide her hurt,
00:39:48biting her lip
00:39:49to hold back her tears.
00:39:50Ella lifted her head sharply,
00:39:52her voice trembling
00:39:52yet firm.
00:39:54He started it first!
00:39:58Jack mocked me
00:39:59in front of everyone,
00:40:00said I didn't belong
00:40:00in the training camp,
00:40:01and called Brother Sebastian
00:40:04a nobody with no real power.
00:40:05Jack looked utterly
00:40:06unconvinced
00:40:07and fired back at once.
00:40:11It's the truth.
00:40:14I didn't make any of it up.
00:40:16Ella grew emotional,
00:40:17raising her voice.
00:40:18He even tugged
00:40:19at my wolf fur
00:40:20and shoved me
00:40:21against the wall.
00:40:22He pointed right
00:40:23at my face
00:40:24and called Sister
00:40:25a golden-eyed freak
00:40:26who couldn't bear pups,
00:40:27said you deserve
00:40:28being sold away.
00:40:31I held back
00:40:32again and again,
00:40:33but he just kept
00:40:33pushing me.
00:40:34I had no choice
00:40:36but to fight back.
00:40:37I stood frozen,
00:40:38my heart aching
00:40:39with emotion.
00:40:40I'd always thought
00:40:40I was nothing more
00:40:41than someone Sebastian
00:40:42had bought,
00:40:42that there was always
00:40:43a distance between
00:40:44Ella and me,
00:40:45that she'd kept
00:40:45her cold reserve
00:40:46towards me.
00:40:47I never imagined
00:40:47she would stand up
00:40:48for me so fiercely
00:40:49when others slandered
00:40:50and looked down on me.
00:40:51My gaze fell on her arms,
00:40:53marked with faint
00:40:54scratch wounds.
00:40:55A few tufts of wolf fur
00:40:57had been torn
00:40:57from her neck,
00:40:58and there was a faint bruise
00:41:00at the corner
00:41:00of her mouth.
00:41:02She looked worn
00:41:03and utterly heartbreaking.
00:41:08In that moment,
00:41:09memories of being wronged,
00:41:10mocked,
00:41:10and bullied
00:41:11relentlessly
00:41:11crashed over me
00:41:12like a tide.
00:41:13Shunned as a freak
00:41:13by Evan's pack,
00:41:14humiliated publicly
00:41:15by Selena,
00:41:16sold off like
00:41:16merchandise
00:41:17by my own father,
00:41:18branded barren
00:41:18by everyone around me,
00:41:19all the suppressed grief
00:41:20and resentment
00:41:21welled up inside,
00:41:22flaring into a fierce
00:41:22urge to protect Ella.
00:41:23I reached out
00:41:24and gently stroked
00:41:25her hair,
00:41:26calming the storm
00:41:27of emotion
00:41:27in my chest,
00:41:28then turned
00:41:29to face Jack,
00:41:30Martha,
00:41:31and the rest
00:41:31of them.
00:41:34Jack insulted
00:41:35others openly
00:41:35and resorted
00:41:36to violence first.
00:41:38Martha turns
00:41:39a blind eye
00:41:40to her son's
00:41:40wrongnings
00:41:41and enables
00:41:41his cruelty.
00:41:43Your own pack
00:41:44is overrun
00:41:45by rogues
00:41:46and barely holding
00:41:47on,
00:41:47yet you still
00:41:48find time
00:41:48to bully a pup
00:41:49and insult others.
00:41:52Isn't that both
00:41:53ridiculous and pitiful?
00:41:54The moment my words
00:41:55landed,
00:41:56Martha flew into a rage.
00:41:57She stepped forward
00:41:58abruptly,
00:41:58japping a finger
00:41:59straight at me
00:41:59and snapping sharply.
00:42:01Who do you think
00:42:01you are?
00:42:02How dare you judge us?
00:42:04My birth clan
00:42:04is the blood moon pack,
00:42:05my in-laws
00:42:06the silver flang pack.
00:42:07Say another word
00:42:08and I'll have
00:42:10these two great packs
00:42:11pressure this academy.
00:42:13Not only will
00:42:14Ella be severely
00:42:15punished,
00:42:15I'll make you
00:42:16apologize to us
00:42:18mother and son
00:42:19in front of everyone.
00:42:21The elder in charge
00:42:22of the training camp
00:42:23hurried over,
00:42:24followed by several guards,
00:42:25his area commanding
00:42:26and un-
00:42:26Silence,
00:42:27all of you.
00:42:28Jack provoked,
00:42:28insulted,
00:42:29and attacked first.
00:42:30He must apologize
00:42:30sincerely to Ella
00:42:31and Isabella.
00:42:32Martha will no longer
00:42:32be a ladle in student affairs
00:42:33for turning a blind eye
00:42:34to right and wrong
00:42:35and abusing her status.
00:42:36Anyone else who
00:42:36stirs up trouble
00:42:37will be expelled
00:42:37from the academy
00:42:38permanently,
00:42:39never to be admitted again.
00:42:40He then turned to me,
00:42:41his tone softening noticeably.
00:42:43Lyman Queen,
00:42:44rest assured,
00:42:45this is neutral ground.
00:42:47No one shall harm you
00:42:48or Ella.
00:42:49You need not fear
00:42:50for the one watching
00:42:51over you from the shadows.
00:42:53He will always keep you safe.
00:42:57I stared at him
00:42:59in utter disbelief.
00:43:01Elder,
00:43:01you must have mistaken me
00:43:03for someone else.
00:43:04I'm no Lion Queen.
00:43:05I'm just an ordinary werewolf.
00:43:08I could never deserve
00:43:08such a title.
00:43:09The elder shook his head faintly,
00:43:11his eyes deep and cryptic,
00:43:13gesturing for me
00:43:14not to press further.
00:43:15This is not the time
00:43:16to speak of it.
00:43:16The matter runs far deeper
00:43:17than you know.
00:43:18When the time comes,
00:43:19all will be revealed.
00:43:22For now,
00:43:23let us resolve
00:43:23what lies before us.
00:43:29At that,
00:43:30Evan, Martha,
00:43:31and Selina
00:43:31burst out in mocking laughter.
00:43:33Martha even clutched
00:43:34her stomach dramatically,
00:43:36sneering openly
00:43:37as she pointed at me.
00:43:39Elder,
00:43:40have you lost your wits?
00:43:41Or has this freak
00:43:43bewitched you somehow?
00:43:44Her?
00:43:44A lowly werewolf
00:43:46sold at the black market
00:43:47who can't even protect herself?
00:43:48The legendary Lycan Queen?
00:43:58What a ridiculous joke!
00:44:00Selina leaned close to Evan,
00:44:02her eyes filled with contempt.
00:44:03She raised her voice deliberately,
00:44:05making sure every watching
00:44:06werewolf could hear clearly.
00:44:08Exactly, Elder.
00:44:09The Lycan Queen
00:44:10is a noble existence
00:44:11who rules over all wolf clans.
00:44:13She's nothing but an outcast
00:44:14abandoned by her pack,
00:44:15mocked for being unable
00:44:16to bear young.
00:44:19How can you place
00:44:20such an exalt title
00:44:21on someone like her?
00:44:23The Elder's expression
00:44:24darkened at once,
00:44:25his imposing aura
00:44:26sweeping over the square.
00:44:27His eyes turned cold
00:44:29and sharp as he thundered,
00:44:31silencing every
00:44:32onlooker instantly.
00:44:36Hold your tongues!
00:44:38This neutral training camp
00:44:39is no place
00:44:40for your reckless arrogance.
00:44:41Speak ill of Isabella
00:44:42one more time,
00:44:43mock her again,
00:44:44and I will have
00:44:45all of you detained.
00:44:46Strip part of your wolf power,
00:44:47expels you from the camp,
00:44:48and bar you from ever returning.
00:44:50Martha tried to argue back,
00:44:52but froze under
00:44:53the Elder's icy stare.
00:44:56The words died
00:44:57in her throat.
00:44:58Furious as she was,
00:45:00she dared not act out
00:45:01any further.
00:45:02The Elder turned to Jack,
00:45:03who still looked
00:45:04stubbornly defiant.
00:45:06Jack,
00:45:07apologize to Ella
00:45:08and Isabelle at once.
00:45:09Speak with genuine remorse
00:45:10and admit your faults.
00:45:11Refuse,
00:45:12and you will be expelled today.
00:45:14I will notify your pack,
00:45:15and you will never be allowed
00:45:16entry into any
00:45:17werewolf training camp again.
00:45:19Jack clenched his fists tightly,
00:45:21his face burninged
00:45:22with stubbornness
00:45:22and resentment.
00:45:23He glared fiercely at Ella,
00:45:25yet trembled under
00:45:26the Elder's overwhelming pressure,
00:45:28and finally lowered his head.
00:45:33I'm sorry.
00:45:37I shouldn't have called you
00:45:39a half-blood stray,
00:45:40insulted your brother,
00:45:42tugged your wolf fur,
00:45:44or pushed you against the wall.
00:45:45I apologize.
00:45:48Ella pressed her lips together
00:45:49and said nothing,
00:45:50only nodded faintly.
00:45:52The hurt in her eyes
00:45:53easing a little.
00:45:57Let's go.
00:45:58I'll settle this score
00:45:59with you two,
00:46:00sooner or later.
00:46:01Martha shook with rage.
00:46:03She shot a venomous glare
00:46:04at me and Ella,
00:46:05then grabbed Jack's arm roughly,
00:46:06her tone seeking with malice.
00:46:08Evan looked at me
00:46:08with complicated eyes,
00:46:10resentment,
00:46:10confusion,
00:46:11and a flicker
00:46:11of hidden unease.
00:46:12He shot the Elder
00:46:13a long, wary glance,
00:46:14yet dared not say another word.
00:46:15He turned and left
00:46:15the camp square
00:46:16with Martha and Selina,
00:46:17looking both furious
00:46:18and defeated.
00:46:19Before leaving,
00:46:19Selina glanced back at me
00:46:20with a sharp,
00:46:21hateful stare.
00:46:24I watched them leave,
00:46:25then turned back
00:46:26to the Elder,
00:46:27still utterly confused,
00:46:29my tone urgent.
00:46:31Elder,
00:46:32why do you keep
00:46:33calling me Lycan Queen?
00:46:34I'm not the person
00:46:35you think I am.
00:46:37My mate is only
00:46:38an ordinary werewolf.
00:46:39How could I ever
00:46:40bear such a title?
00:46:41The Elder shook
00:46:42his head slowly,
00:46:43his gaze deep
00:46:44with untold secrets.
00:46:45He motioned for me
00:46:46to calm myself,
00:46:47his tone cryptic
00:46:48yet laced with quiet warmth.
00:46:49This matter is of
00:46:50great consequence
00:46:51and touches
00:46:51countless threads
00:46:52of fate.
00:46:53I cannot reveal
00:46:54a single detail yet.
00:46:55Only remember this,
00:46:57someone has been
00:46:58protecting you
00:46:58in the shadows.
00:46:59No matter what
00:47:00dangers lie ahead,
00:47:01you have nothing
00:47:02to fear.
00:47:03I turned to Ella
00:47:03beside me,
00:47:04wondering if she
00:47:05knew anything of this.
00:47:07Ella,
00:47:08does any of this
00:47:08make sense to you?
00:47:09Why would the Elder
00:47:10call me that?
00:47:12Ella smiled innocently
00:47:13and shook her head,
00:47:14then skipped off
00:47:14into the distance,
00:47:15her voice light and flake.
00:47:16No idea, sister.
00:47:17You'll have to figure
00:47:18it out yourself!
00:47:19Back home,
00:47:20I pushed open the door
00:47:21to find Sebastian
00:47:22sitting quietly
00:47:22on the living room sofa,
00:47:23holding a Wolf Clan
00:47:24medicinal herb
00:47:25between his fingers,
00:47:26waiting for us.
00:47:27You're back.
00:47:28Did anything else
00:47:29happen at the camp?
00:47:31Has Ella been wronged again?
00:47:32Ella shook her head
00:47:33and walked over
00:47:34to sit beside him,
00:47:35leaning softly
00:47:35against his arm.
00:47:38I'm fine,
00:47:39Brother Sebastian.
00:47:40The Elder stood up
00:47:41for us,
00:47:42and Jack apologized.
00:47:43I stepped in front
00:47:44of Sebastian,
00:47:45my expression
00:47:46earnest and searching,
00:47:48unable to hold back
00:47:49the questions
00:47:49weighing on my mind
00:47:50any longer.
00:47:54Sebastian,
00:47:54I need to ask you something.
00:47:56Today at the training camp,
00:47:57the Elder called me
00:47:57like on Queen
00:47:58and said someone
00:47:58has been guarding me
00:47:59secretly.
00:48:00Do you know
00:48:00what this is all about?
00:48:01And you?
00:48:02What is your true identity?
00:48:04You've always hidden
00:48:04the truth from me
00:48:05on purpose.
00:48:06Sebastian's fingers stilled.
00:48:07He lifted his eyes
00:48:08to meet mine,
00:48:09his gaze flickering
00:48:10as he deliberately
00:48:10avoided my direct stare.
00:48:13Bella,
00:48:14some things aren't
00:48:14meant to be told yet.
00:48:16I can promise you this.
00:48:18I will never harm you
00:48:19or Ellie,
00:48:20and I will always
00:48:21protect you.
00:48:23All you need to do
00:48:24is trust me.
00:48:24I watched him
00:48:25evade my gaze,
00:48:26my confusion deepening
00:48:27by the second.
00:48:28A quiet hurt
00:48:29settled in my heart.
00:48:30The Elder wouldn't speak,
00:48:31and Sebastian chose
00:48:33to hide the truth too.
00:48:34It felt as if
00:48:35everyone held secrets
00:48:36about me,
00:48:37leaving me in the dark
00:48:38like a fool.
00:48:38I fell silent for a moment.
00:48:40My hand unconsciously
00:48:41drifting to my stomach,
00:48:43where a tiny life
00:48:44was growing,
00:48:44the only thing
00:48:45I clung to now.
00:48:46I lifted my eyes
00:48:47to him,
00:48:48my expression solemn.
00:48:50Sebastian,
00:48:51I'm pregnant.
00:48:52Sebastian froze visibly.
00:48:54He set down
00:48:55the herb slowly,
00:48:56a faint soft smile
00:48:57crossing his face,
00:48:59the corners of his mouth
00:49:00lifting.
00:49:01He was clearly happy,
00:49:03yet his joy
00:49:04was far too restrained,
00:49:06too calm.
00:49:07There was none
00:49:08of the wild delight
00:49:08I'd hoped for.
00:49:09No flurry of worried
00:49:11questions,
00:49:11no tender touch.
00:49:13The glimmer of joy
00:49:14in his eyes
00:49:15faded almost at once,
00:49:16settling back
00:49:17into his usual
00:49:18quiet reserve.
00:49:21My heart sank heavily
00:49:22in that instant.
00:49:23Disappointment and uneases
00:49:25washed over me
00:49:25like a cold tide,
00:49:27swallowing me whole.
00:49:29I couldn't help but wonder,
00:49:30did he not want
00:49:31this pup at all?
00:49:32Was I,
00:49:33and the life inside me,
00:49:34nothing more
00:49:35more than a burden
00:49:35to him?
00:49:36I thought of being
00:49:37sold by my own father,
00:49:38abandoned by Evan.
00:49:40Of all the uncertainty
00:49:41I'd endured,
00:49:42my unease grew stronger
00:49:43until my fingers
00:49:44began to tremble faintly.
00:49:46I dared not look
00:49:46Sebastian in the eye,
00:49:48afraid of catching
00:49:49even a trace of distaste
00:49:50or impatience
00:49:51in his expression.
00:49:52I pushed down
00:49:53the ache and hurt
00:49:53in my chest,
00:49:54forcing a faint,
00:49:55calm smile
00:49:56and nodding.
00:49:57I understand.
00:49:58You don't have
00:49:59to feel pressured.
00:50:00Night fell,
00:50:01and silence settled
00:50:01over everything.
00:50:02Moonlight spilled
00:50:03through the window
00:50:04onto the floor.
00:50:04I sat alone
00:50:05on the edge of the bed,
00:50:06gently resting a hand
00:50:07over my stomach.
00:50:08The weight of disappointment
00:50:10and unease grew heavier.
00:50:11More and more,
00:50:12I felt as though
00:50:13both I and my pup
00:50:14were nothing but a burden
00:50:15to Sebastian.
00:50:16Staying here
00:50:17would only be an annoyance,
00:50:18only wear him down further.
00:50:20Better to leave now.
00:50:21Go somewhere
00:50:22no one knows me.
00:50:23Give birth quietly.
00:50:25Raise my pup alone.
00:50:27And never be a chain
00:50:29holding anyone back again.
00:50:30With my mind made up,
00:50:32I rose quietly,
00:50:33moving without a sound.
00:50:34I opened my luggage
00:50:35and began packing silently.
00:50:37A few simple clothes,
00:50:38the wolf-tooth pendants
00:50:39Sebastian had given me
00:50:40Longo to ward off danger.
00:50:41Some dried rations
00:50:42I'd saved.
00:50:43I folded everything
00:50:44carefully into a small bundle.
00:50:46Once packed,
00:50:47I walked to Ella's bedside
00:50:48and pressed a soft kiss
00:50:49to her forehead,
00:50:50my heart heavy with sorrow
00:50:51yet firm with resolve.
00:50:52Ella, I'm sorry.
00:50:54Sister can't stay
00:50:55with you anymore.
00:50:55Stay safe with brother Sebastian
00:50:57and getting hurt
00:50:57the way I did.
00:50:58I wiped the tears
00:50:59from my eyes,
00:51:00slung the bundle
00:51:00over my shoulder,
00:51:01and closed the door softly.
00:51:04Under the cover of deep night,
00:51:06I stepped slowly
00:51:07out of Sebastian's home.
00:51:11I walked into the dark forest
00:51:12with my bundle.
00:51:13I'd barely taken a few steps
00:51:15when hurried footsteps
00:51:15sounded behind me.
00:51:17A shadow darted forward
00:51:18in pursuit,
00:51:18and his familiar scent
00:51:20wrapped around me
00:51:20in an instant.
00:51:21It was Sebastian.
00:51:22Bella, where are you going?
00:51:24It's the middle of the night,
00:51:26carrying a bundle.
00:51:27Are you leaving me?
00:51:28I pulled my hand away sharply,
00:51:30my eyes red-brimmed,
00:51:32tone stubborn and hurt,
00:51:34forcing myself to sound cold.
00:51:37Where I go is none of your business.
00:51:40Sebastian,
00:51:42don't trouble yourself over me,
00:51:44and don't feel ob-gayed.
00:51:46How can it not be my business?
00:51:49Bella, you are my mate.
00:51:51The pup you carry
00:51:52is my flesh and blood.
00:51:54Wherever you go,
00:51:55I go.
00:51:57How can you say
00:51:58this has nothing to do with me?
00:51:59His words shattered
00:52:00every wall I've put up.
00:52:01Long-suppressed grief
00:52:02and hurt burst free.
00:52:03I pound against his chest,
00:52:05struggling to break away.
00:52:06Mate,
00:52:07do you still remember
00:52:08I'm your mate?
00:52:09Sebastian,
00:52:10look at yourself.
00:52:11I told you I was pregnant,
00:52:13and this is how you react?
00:52:14No joy,
00:52:15no concern,
00:52:16not a single sincere word of care.
00:52:18You don't care about this pup at all,
00:52:19and you've never truly cared about me.
00:52:21I stopped struggling
00:52:22and stared straight into his eyes,
00:52:24tears streaming down my cheeks,
00:52:25my tone laced with self-mockery and despair,
00:52:28every word cutting deep into us both.
00:52:30You were just a buyer at the black market,
00:52:32and I was nothing more than a slave you purchased.
00:52:35Your kindness,
00:52:37your gentleness,
00:52:38only fleeting interest,
00:52:39only because I still have use to you.
00:52:42Isn't that the truth?
00:52:43You've never truly cared about me.
00:52:46Sebastian stuffened completely,
00:52:48holding me tighter.
00:52:49He gripped my shoulders,
00:52:51forcing me to meet his glaze.
00:52:53Bella,
00:52:53don't say that.
00:52:54I have never seen you as a slave,
00:52:56not for a single moment.
00:52:58I bought you for a reason.
00:53:01The forest seemed to darken all at once.
00:53:04A blood-red moon rose slowly over the horizon,
00:53:07its crimson glow spilling across the entire woods.
00:53:10Sebastian lifted his head
00:53:12and stared quietly at the blood moon,
00:53:14his expression solemn and grave.
00:53:16The wolf clan has an ancient fate law.
00:53:19Only when the blood moon rises
00:53:20will the royal seal be fully broken.
00:53:23No more need for pretense,
00:53:24no more hiding.
00:53:26The time has finally come.
00:53:28I stared at the eerie crimson moon,
00:53:30my heart tightening inexplicably,
00:53:33lost and stunned,
00:53:34waiting for him to go on.
00:53:37I was never an ordinary low-rank werewolf.
00:53:40I am the rightful heir to the Lycan throne.
00:53:43My elder brother plotted against me in secret
00:53:46to seize power.
00:53:47To survive,
00:53:48I had to hide my royal identity,
00:53:50suppress my true strength,
00:53:52lie low and bide my time,
00:53:54evading my enemies
00:53:55while gathering power
00:53:56to take back what was mine.
00:53:58His tone softened,
00:53:59laced with gentle remembrance.
00:54:01I've known you for a very long time.
00:54:03Years ago,
00:54:04on the frozen ice plains,
00:54:05I saw you ignoring the bitter cold
00:54:06to feed stray wolfhubs gently.
00:54:08In that moment,
00:54:09I was already drawn to you.
00:54:10I've watched over you silently ever since,
00:54:12following every twist of your fate.
00:54:13His voice turned tender with sorrow
00:54:15as he spoke of the past.
00:54:17When I learned Evan had cast you aside cruelly,
00:54:20and your own father sold you off
00:54:21like nothing more than a breeder,
00:54:22I acted at once
00:54:24and bought you from Marcus.
00:54:25This was never a cold transaction.
00:54:28It was protection I planned long ago,
00:54:30a chance to save you.
00:54:34Sebastian let out a quiet sigh,
00:54:36his eyes filled with lingering helplessness
00:54:38and restraint.
00:54:38I kept my distance
00:54:39and acted cold towards you before
00:54:40because I'd long sensed
00:54:42you are a born pureblood Luna.
00:54:43Back then I was trapped in royal turmoil,
00:54:45surrounded by enemies,
00:54:45barely able to protect myself.
00:54:47I feared dragging you into danger,
00:54:49and I refused to let someone
00:54:50as noble and pure as you
00:54:51stay hidden beside a fallen,
00:54:53disguised me.
00:54:54He lifted his gaze to the blood moon
00:54:55hanging high in the sky,
00:54:57his aura steady and regal,
00:54:59his expression calm with certainty.
00:55:02Now the blood moon has risen,
00:55:03fate has fallen into place.
00:55:04I have crushed my brother's schemes,
00:55:06quelled the internal turtle,
00:55:07and reclaimed my rightful throne at last.
00:55:08I have officially ascended
00:55:09as the new Lycan king.
00:55:10He reached out and took my hand gently,
00:55:12his palm warm and firm,
00:55:14his gaze locked steadily on mine,
00:55:17sincere and earnest.
00:55:18Isabella, of course I care about our child.
00:55:20I have cared all along.
00:55:21I've waited far too long for this day.
00:55:22Once I could only guard you from the shadows.
00:55:24Now I hold the throne
00:55:25and I have the power to shield you
00:55:26and our pup for a lifetime in peace.
00:55:27I wish to mark you properly,
00:55:29claim you as my one and only mate
00:55:30and crown you queen of the Lycan clan.
00:55:31From this day forward,
00:55:32no one will ever dare hurt you again.
00:55:33I stared at the raw,
00:55:34unhovered affection and resolve in his eyes.
00:55:36All the grief, unease,
00:55:37and doubt I'd carried these days
00:55:38melted away in an instant.
00:55:40Emotion welled up inside me
00:55:41and warm tears slipped slowly down my cheeks.
00:55:43I looked at him and nodded softly,
00:55:45knowing he meant to mark me for life.
00:55:48Night hung thick and dark.
00:55:50A blood-red moon hung high over the sky,
00:55:52bathing the entire forest in a faint crimson glow.
00:55:55Isabella waited eagerly for Sebastian
00:55:56to claim her mark,
00:55:57her eyes sparkling with quiet excitement
00:55:59and anticipation.
00:56:00Are you ready?
00:56:00This mark will bind you to me completely
00:56:02as my mate
00:56:03and awaken the full strength
00:56:04of your pure-blood Luna lineage.
00:56:05Yes.
00:56:06Sebastian rested his hands gently
00:56:08on Isabella's shoulders
00:56:09and pressed his warm lips to hers
00:56:11to leave his mark.
00:56:12There was a faint twinge of pain,
00:56:13yet Isabella did not flinch for a moment.
00:56:16Her gaze filled only with longing.
00:56:18The instant the mark settled,
00:56:19Bastion's royal time with Isabella's pure-blood Luna energy.
00:56:22Golden light swirled around them both.
00:56:24Her golden irises blazing brighter than ever,
00:56:27as her ancient pure-blood era
00:56:29fully awakened within her.
00:56:31From this day on,
00:56:32I will never let anyone hurt you.
00:56:34Never let you shed another tear.
00:56:35This mark is my vow to you.
00:56:38I trust you.
00:56:41Hidden in the shadows,
00:56:43Selina watched every moment unfold.
00:56:45She stared at their joined hands,
00:56:46consumed by bitter resentment.
00:56:48A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.
00:56:50She quietly pulled out her communicator
00:56:52and reached out to Sebastian's elder brother William.
00:56:54Why should they have everything?
00:56:55I will take back what belongs to me
00:56:57and make them pay for standing in my way.
00:56:59Sebastian looked down at Isabella beside him,
00:57:02brushing the soft smile from her lips
00:57:04with tender reverence.
00:57:05He knew he no longer needed to hide his identity.
00:57:07At last, he could protect her openly,
00:57:10without fear or pretend.
00:57:11I will protect you,
00:57:12protect our child,
00:57:13and cherish every part of who you are.
00:57:15No one will ever make you suffer again.
00:57:19Sebastian began preparing
00:57:20for the Lycan royal coronation ceremony.
00:57:22On that day,
00:57:23he would publicly reveal his true identity
00:57:24as the rightful royal heir,
00:57:26be officially crowned Lycan king,
00:57:27and formally proclaim Isabella
00:57:29the legitimate Lycan queen,
00:57:30honored and revered by all werewolf claims.
00:57:33Meanwhile,
00:57:34life grew increasingly bleak
00:57:35for Evan's blood moon pack.
00:57:37Stripped of Isabella's
00:57:38luna protection barrier,
00:57:39rogue packs began raiding
00:57:40their borders relentlessly,
00:57:41casualties mounted,
00:57:42their territory fell into ruin,
00:57:44and the entire clan
00:57:45twatered on the brink of collapse.
00:57:46Evan,
00:57:47if we carry on like this,
00:57:49the rogues will swallow
00:57:49our pack entirely.
00:57:51The new Lycan king's coronation
00:57:54is soon,
00:57:54and word spreads
00:57:55his power is unfathomable.
00:57:58If we can gain his favor,
00:58:00we'll never fear the rogues again.
00:58:01We weren't sent an invitation.
00:58:03This king has always lived
00:58:03in secrecy,
00:58:04cold and unpredictable.
00:58:05If we sneak in disguise
00:58:06to get caught,
00:58:07we'll only humiliate ourselves.
00:58:08Do we still care about pride?
00:58:09Saving our pack
00:58:10is all that matters.
00:58:11We'll dress common
00:58:12minor clan guests
00:58:12and blend into the crowd.
00:58:13Once we reach the royal desk,
00:58:15we'll find a chance
00:58:15to enratiate ourselves.
00:58:17Evan stared at his ravaged territory
00:58:19and his fading clan members.
00:58:20Overcome by desperation
00:58:21and ambition,
00:58:22he finally agreed to sneak
00:58:23into the coronation beside Martha,
00:58:24set on curing favor
00:58:25with the new Lycan king
00:58:26to secure his pack's survival.
00:58:27Upon hearing news of the ceremony,
00:58:30Selina chose not to go
00:58:31with Evan and Martha.
00:58:32She waited alone for William,
00:58:34Sebastian's elder brother,
00:58:36whom she had secretly allied with.
00:58:38Sebastian thinks he can claim
00:58:40the throne and reign in peace.
00:58:43William has already promised me
00:58:45he will seize power
00:58:46at the coronation.
00:58:47Once William overtows Sebastian
00:58:49and takes the crown,
00:58:50I will be his one and only queen,
00:58:54the true Lycan queen.
00:58:56I'll never again live
00:58:58in Isabella's shadow.
00:58:59She drowned herself
00:59:00in ambitious fantasies,
00:59:02waiting foolishly
00:59:03for William to appear,
00:59:04completely unaware
00:59:05she was nothing more than a pawn
00:59:06he had long been using.
00:59:09The Lycan holy mountain blazed
00:59:11with coronation splendor.
00:59:13Golden light spilled over the peeps.
00:59:15Royal guards standing tall
00:59:16with imposing presence.
00:59:17Powerful werewolf leaders
00:59:19from every clan filed in
00:59:20to take their seats.
00:59:21The entire sacred grounds
00:59:22steeped in solemn grandeur.
00:59:24Evan and Martha dressed
00:59:24in plain outsider robes,
00:59:26blending silently into the guest crowd
00:59:27and slipping into the ceremony grounds.
00:59:29They gazed up at the luxurious royal days,
00:59:31watching the dignified clan leaders
00:59:32around them,
00:59:33envy clear in their eyes.
00:59:34Both resolved to seize any chance
00:59:36to win the new Lion King's favor
00:59:37and save their fear.
00:59:38Their gaze drifted casually
00:59:40across the gathering,
00:59:41and they froze instantly,
00:59:42spotting Isabella and Sebastian
00:59:44standing side by side.
00:59:45Disdain and contempt settled
00:59:46over their faces at once.
00:59:48Look!
00:59:49Is that Isabella?
00:59:50How dare she intrude
00:59:52on a royal coronation?
00:59:53They exchanged a glance,
00:59:55both looking down on the pair.
00:59:56Evan's tone turned sharp
00:59:58with quiet mockery.
00:59:59And beside her,
01:00:00that's the rough,
01:00:01low-class werewolf
01:00:02who bought her
01:00:02at the black market.
01:00:04A nobody with no standing.
01:00:06How dare he set foot
01:00:07on sacred,
01:00:08lichen royal grounds?
01:00:09Echoing his scorn,
01:00:10her disgust deepening.
01:00:12They have no sense
01:00:12of their place.
01:00:13Both are outcasts
01:00:14unfit for high society,
01:00:16only here to leech off prestige
01:00:17and cling to power.
01:00:19They clearly snuck in
01:00:20uninvited with no status
01:00:21or lineage.
01:00:22Once the true Lion King arrives,
01:00:23guards will drive them out publicly,
01:00:25and they'll be the laughingstock
01:00:26of everyone present.
01:00:28Evan and Martha
01:00:29stepped forward abruptly,
01:00:31blocking Isabella
01:00:31and Sebastian's path,
01:00:33their manner arrogant
01:00:33and their words cutting.
01:00:35Isabella,
01:00:36you exiled,
01:00:37golden-eyed freak.
01:00:38How dare you sneak
01:00:39into a royal coronation,
01:00:40parading around
01:00:41with this low-class werewolf?
01:00:43You have no shame at all.
01:00:44Sebastian,
01:00:44I still remember
01:00:45your ragged state
01:00:46at the black market.
01:00:47A nobody like you
01:00:48has no right
01:00:49to stand on sacred ground.
01:00:50Take her and leave
01:00:51before you embarrass
01:00:52yourselves further.
01:00:53Whether we belong here
01:00:54is none of your concern.
01:00:55You two snuck in
01:00:56without invitations,
01:00:57yet you still dare
01:00:58to act high and mighty?
01:00:59Sebastian drew Isabella
01:01:00gently to his side,
01:01:02adopting a humble,
01:01:03meek demeanor,
01:01:03his tone soft
01:01:04and unassertive.
01:01:05Alpha Evan,
01:01:06Lady Martha,
01:01:07we only came to watch
01:01:08the ceremony.
01:01:08We mean no trouble
01:01:10and we'll take
01:01:10our leave at once.
01:01:11Seeing Sebastian's
01:01:12apparent weakness
01:01:13emboldened Martha further.
01:01:14She stepped forward sharply,
01:01:16her tone growing
01:01:17harsher still.
01:01:18Leave is not enough.
01:01:19A low-class werewolf
01:01:21trespassing on
01:01:21royal sacred ground,
01:01:22you will apologize
01:01:23to us.
01:01:25Exactly.
01:01:27Beg forgiveness
01:01:28and get out.
01:01:29When the Lion King arrives,
01:01:31he'll strip your wolf power
01:01:32and shame you publicly.
01:01:33A flicker of cold calm
01:01:34passed through Sebastian's eyes,
01:01:36though his tone
01:01:36remained mild,
01:01:37edged with quiet certainty.
01:01:38Is that so?
01:01:39Then let us wait and see
01:01:39who ends up embarrassed
01:01:40before everyone.
01:01:41Isabella lifted her gaze,
01:01:42a faint glimmer
01:01:43shining in her golden eyes.
01:01:44She played along
01:01:45with Sebastian's act,
01:01:46looking wronged
01:01:47yet forcing herself
01:01:47to stay composed.
01:01:48You carry yourselves
01:01:49so arrogantly.
01:01:50Do you not fear
01:01:51angering the Lichen King?
01:01:53Martha scoffed openly,
01:01:55utterly dismiss it
01:01:55of their words.
01:01:56Anger the King?
01:01:58The only ones
01:01:58embarrassing themselves
01:01:59here are you two.
01:02:01The King will punish you,
01:02:03not us.
01:02:05Their taunt stung sharp
01:02:07and loud in my ears.
01:02:08I had no wish
01:02:09to waste time
01:02:09on these petty troublemakers,
01:02:11only wanting to turn away
01:02:12and let the ceremony
01:02:13proceed undisturbed.
01:02:14Pay them no mind.
01:02:16The real show
01:02:16is about to begin.
01:02:17I nodded
01:02:18and turned to leave with him.
01:02:19But Evan took my silence
01:02:21as defeat,
01:02:22stepping forward
01:02:22to block our path,
01:02:23wearing a mocking,
01:02:25triumphant smirk.
01:02:26Cat got your tongue?
01:02:27Can't argue back,
01:02:27so you try to run?
01:02:29I knew it.
01:02:30You're both small-minded nobodies,
01:02:32unfit to stand against us.
01:02:33Run won't save you.
01:02:35Apologize here today
01:02:36or everyone will see
01:02:38the two of you
01:02:38brought low
01:02:39and humiliated.
01:02:42I frowned,
01:02:43ready to speak,
01:02:44when solemn ceremonial horns
01:02:45echoed across the grounds.
01:02:46A hush fell instantly,
01:02:47every gaze turning
01:02:48towards the high das.
01:02:49The host's voice
01:02:49boomed across the holy mountain,
01:02:51clear and authoritative
01:02:51through spiritual resonance.
01:02:53The auspicious hour
01:02:54has come.
01:02:55The Lichen King's
01:02:56coronation ceremony begins.
01:02:58All rise
01:02:59for the rightful
01:03:00light and royal heir,
01:03:01Lord Sebastian,
01:03:02and his fated mate,
01:03:04Lady Isabella,
01:03:05to ascend the royal days.
01:03:10Golden light burst
01:03:12across the sky.
01:03:17I, Sebastian,
01:03:19rightful heir
01:03:19to the Lichen throne,
01:03:20have quelled my brother's rebellion
01:03:22and reclaimed
01:03:22my royal birthright.
01:03:24Today I ascend
01:03:25officially as Lion King
01:03:26and proclaim Isabella
01:03:27my sole lion queen.
01:03:28May all clans
01:03:29honor our rule
01:03:30and find peace
01:03:31under our protection.
01:03:33This was my mate,
01:03:34the one destined
01:03:35to walk beside me
01:03:36for all time.
01:03:37In the next instant,
01:03:39two sharp,
01:03:40disbelieving voices
01:03:41shattered the ceremony's
01:03:42solemnity.
01:03:43Impossible!
01:03:44It cannot be!
01:03:45How can you be
01:03:46the Lichen King?
01:03:47You were nothing
01:03:47but a ragged nobody
01:03:48from the black market.
01:03:49You're pretending
01:03:49to claim the throne.
01:03:50Yes, you're an imposter!
01:03:52A low-class werewolf
01:03:53could never be
01:03:53Lichen royal heir.
01:03:54You've tricked everyone
01:03:55with some underhanded scheme.
01:03:56The true Lord King
01:03:57could never be
01:03:58someone like you!
01:03:59They shouted hysterically
01:04:00as if their refusal alone
01:04:01could undo reality.
01:04:03I watched their frantic display
01:04:05with complete indifference.
01:04:06It was utterly ridiculous now.
01:04:08The nobody they mocked
01:04:09was now the king.
01:04:10The outcasts they humiliated,
01:04:12now their queen.
01:04:16Insolent fools!
01:04:18To speak treason
01:04:20at the Lichen King's coronation.
01:04:22To deny royal lineage
01:04:24and dishonor the crown,
01:04:26you court your own doom.
01:04:29Guards, seize them!
01:04:30These two trespassed
01:04:32uninvited on sacred ceremony grounds,
01:04:34insulted the king and queen,
01:04:35and flouted royal decree.
01:04:36By order of the crown,
01:04:37stripped three-tenths
01:04:38of their wolf power,
01:04:39expelled them from the holy mountain,
01:04:40and banned them permanently
01:04:41from all Lichen territory.
01:04:43Any who defy this ruling
01:04:44shall be put to death
01:04:45without hesitation.
01:04:48He hated his own blindness
01:04:50and pride,
01:04:51mocking the true Lion King,
01:04:53and now reaping the ruin
01:04:54he had sown.
01:04:55Your majesty, King Sebastian,
01:04:56I beg forgiveness.
01:04:58I dare not doubt you again,
01:04:59I swear it.
01:05:00Your grace, Queen Isabella,
01:05:01please show mercy.
01:05:02We will never insult you again,
01:05:04never trespass
01:05:05on royal ceremony grounds.
01:05:06Spare us this once.
01:05:07You mock freely
01:05:08when you hold pride,
01:05:09yet beg for mercy and ruin.
01:05:11Your arrogance and ignorance
01:05:12deserve no forgiveness from me.
01:05:14They had brought this
01:05:14upon themselves,
01:05:15casting me aside,
01:05:17humiliating me,
01:05:17looking down on others,
01:05:18and now they faced
01:05:19the consequences.
01:05:20They left an utter disgrace,
01:05:21their pride shattered
01:05:22beyond repair.
01:05:27Selene alone
01:05:28beneath the shade of a tree,
01:05:29she clutched
01:05:30her communicator tightly.
01:05:33Why hasn't William come?
01:05:34He swore he would overthrow
01:05:35Sebastian at the coronation.
01:05:37Once he takes the crown,
01:05:38he'll make me
01:05:39Lion Queen.
01:05:40He wouldn't lie to me.
01:05:42The Lion was dead
01:05:43completely.
01:05:44No.
01:05:45This can't be.
01:05:47He wouldn't deceive me.
01:05:48He must have been stopped
01:05:49by Sebastian's guards,
01:05:50caught in trouble somehow.
01:05:52William!
01:05:53William!
01:06:00Selene,
01:06:01you are foolish
01:06:02and greedy indeed.
01:06:03Did you truly believe
01:06:04I would risk everything
01:06:05for the throne
01:06:06or crown you queen?
01:06:06I only used you
01:06:08to drain your wealth
01:06:08and resources
01:06:09from my own gain.
01:06:10At last the truth
01:06:11crashed over her.
01:06:12This had never been
01:06:13anything but a carefully
01:06:14laid trap.
01:06:16Please,
01:06:16my wealth,
01:06:17my crown,
01:06:18everything is gone.
01:06:20He lied to me.
01:06:21He truly lied to me.
01:06:24Word soon spread
01:06:26of Selene's secret
01:06:27alliance with William.
01:06:29She was branded
01:06:30an enemy of the Lion Crown,
01:06:32blacklisted across
01:06:33all werewolf lands.
01:06:35Foolish woman,
01:06:36not only were you deceived,
01:06:37you dragged my pack
01:06:38into ruin.
01:06:39Do not show yourself
01:06:40to me again.
01:06:41We are finished.
01:06:42Evan,
01:06:43please help me.
01:06:43I know I was wrong.
01:06:45I only wanted a better life.
01:06:46Clean up the mess
01:06:46you made alone.
01:06:47Someone like you
01:06:48is not worthy
01:06:49of standing beside me.
01:06:54Penniless and without
01:06:55allies,
01:06:56she became a public
01:06:57joke among the
01:06:58werewolf clans.
01:07:00She spent her days
01:07:01adrift in loneliness
01:07:03and regret.
01:07:04Evan was stripped
01:07:05of part of his wolf power.
01:07:06His former alpha
01:07:07dominance faded away
01:07:08entirely.
01:07:09I let vanity blind me
01:07:11and look down on
01:07:12Sebastian out of pride.
01:07:14This ruin is entirely
01:07:15my own fault.
01:07:16If only I hadn't urged
01:07:17you to seek favor.
01:07:18If only I hadn't
01:07:19angered the royal family,
01:07:20what will become
01:07:21of us now?
01:07:22There is nothing
01:07:23we can do.
01:07:23Our pack fades.
01:07:25We are powerless
01:07:25to protect it.
01:07:26We can only leave
01:07:27our fate to time.
01:07:28The old glory
01:07:29of the blood moon pack
01:07:30faded into memory.
01:07:32The clan declined
01:07:34steadily into obscurity,
01:07:36struggling merely
01:07:36to survive.
01:07:42All external conflicts
01:07:43faded away
01:07:44and the last traces
01:07:45of royal rebellion
01:07:46were couldn't
01:07:47quelled completely.
01:07:48peace settled
01:07:50over every corner
01:07:51of werewolf territory.
01:07:54Sebastian ruled
01:07:55the laocan throne
01:07:56steadily,
01:07:57managing clan affairs
01:07:58with calm order,
01:07:59leaving no room
01:08:00for further chaos.
01:08:02With Pup now
01:08:03growing inside me,
01:08:05I rested quietly
01:08:06in the Lyman royal mansion.
01:08:08Sebastian set aside
01:08:09many official duties
01:08:10to stay by my side,
01:08:12tending to my every need
01:08:13with gentle,
01:08:14careful devotion.
01:08:15You don't have to stay
01:08:16by my side
01:08:17every moment.
01:08:18Royal affairs
01:08:18keep you busy.
01:08:19Don't let me
01:08:20hold you back.
01:08:21The throne matters,
01:08:22but you
01:08:23and the pup you carry
01:08:24matter most
01:08:25in my life.
01:08:27The elders contend
01:08:28to all trivial matters.
01:08:29Ella also remained
01:08:30safely within
01:08:31the royal household,
01:08:32staying close
01:08:32to keep me company
01:08:33and looking after
01:08:34my daily needs
01:08:35with heartfelt care.
01:08:36Rest easy
01:08:37and focus on
01:08:38your pregnancy, Luna.
01:08:39I'll stay right here
01:08:40with you
01:08:40so you have nothing
01:08:41to worry about.
01:08:44Sebastian tangled
01:08:45his fingers with mine,
01:08:47his eyes soft.
01:08:50Ella smiled quietly
01:08:52beside us.
01:08:52Sunlight spilled
01:08:53through the window,
01:08:55warm and calm
01:08:56over all three of us.
