Short filmTranscript
00:00On the day of my mating ceremony, I caught my alpha sleeping with my own sister.
00:04Only then did I finally understand why Cain had always been so cold towards me.
00:09It wasn't because of who he was.
00:11It was because he never loved me.
00:13I didn't confront them on the spot.
00:15Instead, during the ceremony, I used a memory crystal to project everything they'd done for everyone to see.
00:22The entire hall erupted in shock.
00:24Guests stared at them with ridicule and amusement.
00:27My alpha. My sister.
00:31Why don't you explain to everyone exactly what you were doing a few minutes ago?
00:36Sarah! I know you've always hated me, but you can't ruin your own mating ceremony just to frame me!
00:48Sarah! Didn't you save me from the black market because of my status in the first test place?
00:52I've already promised to mark you as my mate!
00:55What more do you want?
00:57My parents would immediately comfort Lydia, and my father turned to look at me, his face full of anger.
01:04You're so vicious that you'd create fake footage just to slander Lydia!
01:09And even now, she's worried about your ceremony.
01:13That's why you'll never be half the woman she is!
01:16The night Sarah signed the mating contract, she disappeared and didn't come home until the next morning.
01:21I personally saw her returning in disheveled clothes.
01:26We had originally planned to go through with the ceremony.
01:29Then Kane would quietly dissolve the bond afterward to protect Sarah's reputation.
01:34But we never expected her to be this malicious.
01:37Because she can't behave herself.
01:40She wants to drag Lydia's name through the mud too.
01:43I didn't even get a chance to defend myself.
01:45They had already convicted me.
01:48Once again, my parents chose to protect Lydia at my expense.
01:52Just like they always had.
01:53I didn't even get a chance to defend myself.
01:56They had already convicted me.
01:57When your own parents expose you in front of everyone, no explanation matters.
02:03Nobody was going to believe me.
02:05A crushing sense of helplessness swallowed me whole.
02:08I wanted to run.
02:10But my feet wouldn't move.
02:12Then a deep, commanding voice spoke from behind me.
02:15That night Sarah was with me.
02:17It's him.
02:19The crowd immediately parted.
02:22A man stepped forward.
02:24He was taller than Kane.
02:25His perfectly tailored black royal robe stretched over a powerful frame.
02:30Darian wailed.
02:31Leader of the Silvermoon Pack.
02:33Kane's uncle.
02:34He stopped in front of me.
02:36There wasn't a trace of warmth in his icy blue eyes.
02:39Sarah went out that night to gather herbs.
02:42She was attacked by wild wolves.
02:45I rescued her and brought her home.
02:47Nothing else happened.
02:51Isn't that right, Sarah?
02:53I froze for a moment.
02:55Then I realized this was my only chance to clear my name.
02:59So I nodded.
03:00My father didn't dare challenge Darian.
03:02And instead, he forced out an awkward laugh.
03:06Well, it seems Sarah was simply frightened and made a foolish accusation against her sister.
03:12My apologies.
03:13Everyone, Sarah isn't in the best mental state today, so we'll end the ceremony here.
03:18No.
03:21The ceremony will continue.
03:26After saving you that night, I realized you'd make an excellent Luna Queen.
03:30Sarah Clermont, will you become my mate?
03:33The words sounded romantic, but his eyes remained completely emotionless.
03:38My mind went blank.
03:40Who I married.
03:42Did it even matter anymore?
03:44As long as I could escape this humiliation, anything was better than staying here.
03:49Numbly, I extended my hand.
03:51Sarah!
03:53Kane's expression changed.
03:54His eyes practically begged me not to agree.
03:58How ridiculous.
03:59Did he really think I'd still choose him after everything he'd done?
04:02I placed my hand in Darian's.
04:04He slid the silver ring originally meant for Kane and Mai onto my finger.
04:08The ceremony ended hastily.
04:11Soon afterward, I was escorted to the bridal suite,
04:14sitting alone on the edge of the bed as I waited for whatever came next.
04:18The door opened.
04:21Darian walked in.
04:22He removed his royal robe and poured two glasses of wine.
04:26Then he handed one to me.
04:28Drink.
04:29It'll help.
04:30I accepted it without a word and drained the glass.
04:33A complicate emotion flashed through his eyes.
04:36Then he got straight to the point.
04:38I carry a curse.
04:40A very old blood cursed.
04:42The only way to break it is for my mate to complete the bond and mark.
04:46Then draw blood from her heart three times.
04:49He paused, watching my reaction.
04:52As compensation, once the curse is broken,
04:55I'll give you more wealth than you could spend in a lifetime.
04:58You'll remain Lady Wolf,
05:00with status, freedom, and every privilege imaginable.
05:03My heart sank.
05:05So that was the truth.
05:07This marriage was another transaction.
05:10A colder one than before.
05:12I'll help you draw the blood.
05:14Consider it repayment for helping me today.
05:17But I won't agree to the mark.
05:19I only want to share that kind of intimacy with someone I love.
05:23Something dangerous flashed across his face.
05:26He stepped closer.
05:28His towering frame completely enveloped me.
05:31Don't reject me so quickly.
05:37No, let me go.
05:45Sarah, I have all the time in the world to make you fall in love with me.
05:50For some reason, staring into those blue eyes, I stopped fighting.
05:54That night, he marked me.
05:56I became Lady Wolf, the cursed mate.
05:59A wife in name more than reality.
06:01To his credit, Darian kept part of his promise.
06:04He gave me a life beyond anything I'd ever imagined.
06:07Everyone in the manor treated me with absolute respect,
06:10but he also shattered every boundary I had.
06:13Every night, he returned to our red room.
06:15Every night, he claimed me in the most primal way possible.
06:19His possessiveness was over-quelming.
06:21And little by little,
06:22I found myself sinking into it.
06:24Then came the first blood extraction.
06:27It was torture.
06:29Darian personally drove the dagger into my chest.
06:32The pain was cold, sharp.
06:35It pierced straight into my soul.
06:37I could actually feel my life draining away with the blood.
06:40After the first extraction,
06:41I was bedridden for an entire week.
06:44Darian watched over me with an expression I couldn't understand.
06:47He never explained.
06:49Never apologized.
06:50Yet beneath that icy exterior,
06:52something seemed to be changing.
06:54He abandoned all pack affairs and cared for me personally.
06:58He fed me medicine,
07:00used cold cloths to lower my fever.
07:02When I refused to drink a particularly bitter herbal brew,
07:06he surprised me.
07:07He took a sip himself,
07:09then pressed his lips to mine and fed it to me mouth to mouth.
07:13The bitter medicine mixed with his clean scent.
07:16My heartbeat skipped.
07:18My heartbeat skipped.
07:18Once I recovered,
07:19he seemed to become the cold alpha again.
07:21But subtle things changed.
07:23My favorite foods appeared at meals.
07:26Ancient herbology books started showing up in his study.
07:29He even built a private herb garden for me inside the greenhouse behind the manor.
07:33Sometimes near sunset.
07:35He'd quietly join me there and watched me care for the plants.
07:38One day,
07:40I accidentally cut my finger on a poisonous thorn.
07:43He appeared at my side almost instantly and carefully sucked the poison from the wound.
07:48Be more careful.
07:49His tone remained cold,
07:51but for a brief second,
07:52I saw concern in those blue eyes.
07:54My heart surrendered little by little,
07:56not through grand gestures,
07:58but through those tiny moments of kindness.
08:01Soon,
08:02I found myself looking forward to his return every night.
08:05I even began convincing myself that the curse didn't matter anymore.
08:09Neither did the transaction that started our marriage.
08:12Maybe,
08:12just maybe,
08:13I had become special to him.
08:15The second extraction happened during a stormy night.
08:18He held me in his arms as he plunged the dagger into my chest.
08:23Strangely,
08:24he looked more nervous than I was.
08:26His forehead rested against mine.
08:29Again and again,
08:30he whispered my name.
08:32Sarah,
08:34look at me.
08:35The pain was unbearable,
08:37yet inside his dark blue eyes,
08:39I saw something that looked remarkably like suffering.
08:41Something he was desperately trying to hide.
08:44In that moment,
08:45I thought it was love.
08:46I was wrong.
08:47That day,
08:48I found the secret that completely broke me down.
08:52Three months passed after the second extraction.
08:54My recovery took much longer than before.
08:57Darian never mentioned the third extraction.
09:00Naively,
09:00I assumed he was worried about me.
09:03One afternoon,
09:04I went upstairs looking for an herbal encyclopedia.
09:07As I passed the guest lounge on the second floor,
09:09I heard Lydia's voice.
09:11What are you waiting for,
09:12Darian?
09:12Why haven't you taken the third drop yet?
09:15I've waited long enough.
09:16I stopped dead in my tracks.
09:18Every drop of blood in my body frozen.
09:20Silently,
09:21I moved closer.
09:22My heart pounded so hard,
09:24it felt ready to burst from my chest.
09:25Her body hasn't recovered yet.
09:28You're worried about her?
09:30Don't tell me you've actually fallen in love with her.
09:34Darian,
09:35have you forgotten our plan?
09:37Plan?
09:38What plan?
09:39When the elders told us about the curse,
09:42you said my health was too fragile.
09:44That's why they suggested using Sarah instead.
09:47Since she's my blood sister,
09:49she could become your mate first.
09:51She could break the curse for you.
09:53My entire world tilted.
09:55Then after the curse is gone,
09:57you'll remove the mark and bond with me instead.
10:01Unless you've become attached to her.
10:04What about me?
10:05A loud ringing filled my ears.
10:07I could barely breathe.
10:08So,
10:09this was the truth.
10:11From the very beginning,
10:12I was nothing but a tool.
10:14A sacrifice.
10:16A substitute.
10:17And like a fool,
10:18I'd mistaken his occasional kindness for love.
10:21I covered my mouth to stop myself from making a sound.
10:24Tears streamed down my face.
10:26I haven't forgotten.
10:29But the third extraction is dangerous.
10:31She could die.
10:33Wasn't that always part of the plan?
10:35Once Sarah dies,
10:36your curse is broken
10:37and you can mark Lydia.
10:40That's what you've always wanted,
10:42isn't it?
10:43Lydia saved you from a trap
10:45when she was little,
10:46Mr. Wolf.
10:47You owe her.
10:48A trap.
10:49Blue eyes.
10:50The pieces slammed together.
10:52My heart felt like it was being carved apart
10:54with a dull blade.
10:55Lydia.
10:56My wonderful little sister.
10:58With our parents' help,
10:59she'd stolen something from me once again.
11:02A bitter laugh escaped my lips.
11:05When I was little,
11:06I'd accidentally saved a young werewolf boy
11:08with brilliant blue eyes.
11:10Those eyes had become the curse of my life.
11:14That's why,
11:15years later,
11:16when I saw Kane's blue eyes in the black market,
11:19I rescued him without hesitation.
11:22And because of those eyes,
11:23I fell in love with him,
11:25only to be betrayed.
11:26Now I discovered that Darian had been that boy all along,
11:30and he had deceived me too.
11:32The absurdity of it all swallowed me whole.
11:34I couldn't listen anymore.
11:36I turned and walked back to my room.
11:39Maybe growing up surrounded by favoritism
11:41had prepared me for this.
11:43I recovered from the shock reprisingly quickly.
11:46I wiped away my tears.
11:48When I looked up again,
11:50my eyes were filled to determination.
11:53I packed everything that belonged to me.
11:55The priceless jewelry Darian had given me.
11:58The expensive gowns.
11:59The little gifts I'd once mistaken for signs of love.
12:02I left every single one behind.
12:05I arranged them neatly on the table,
12:07alongside the mating ring.
12:08Then I left.
12:09I left so quickly that I never saw what happened afterward.
12:13I never saw Darian Wolfe lose his mind searching for me
12:17after he discovered I was gone.
12:19Sarah.
12:20You're never gonna leave me.
12:23The moment I turned and walked away,
12:25the conversation in the reception room continued.
12:28Enough.
12:28Darian's voice suddenly went ice cold.
12:30I don't need any of you to teach me how to do my job.
12:33Once her body recovers, I'll take it myself.
12:35Now, get out.
12:36Lydia and her parents were stunned
12:38by the coldness in his tone.
12:40They bit their lips unwillingly,
12:42but eventually turned and left.
12:44Darian stood alone by the window,
12:46staring at the manor gate,
12:47his eyes unreadable.
12:49Just moments ago,
12:50his heart had clenched
12:52with a sharp pain
12:53that was the mate bond
12:54sending out an alarm.
12:56She was going through intense emotional turmoil.
12:59Time to speed things up.
13:01He was sick
13:02of this game.
13:03Sick of himself too.
13:05Sick of the way he kept putting off his plan.
13:07Just because of how pale that woman looked,
13:09he crushed the wine glass in his hand in frustration.
13:13When Darian left the reception room,
13:15a strange silence greeted him.
13:17Her scent was fading from the air,
13:19fast.
13:20Sarah?
13:21No answer.
13:21He hurried upstairs
13:22and pushed open the bedroom door.
13:25The room was unnaturally tidy.
13:27On the vanity,
13:28all the jewelry he'd ordered for her
13:30sat untouched,
13:31gleaming coldly in the setting sun.
13:33His mate ring lay right in the middle of the mall,
13:36a panic he'd never felt before,
13:38wrapped around his heart like vines.
13:40Someone!
13:42A servant ran up the stairs in a panic.
13:44Where is my wife?
13:46I asked.
13:46The servant was trembling
13:47at the sight of his face.
13:50Miss Clayman,
13:50I mean,
13:51Madam,
13:51she packed up all her own things
13:53and left this afternoon.
13:54She told me to return everything you gave her,
13:56but anything related to you,
13:58she got rid of it all.
14:00Not a single thing left.
14:01Darian's pupils contracted sharply
14:03with a savage wave of his hand.
14:05An invisible force swept the jewelry off the vanity.
14:08Priceless gems scattered across the floor
14:11like his shattered pride.
14:12Bring me everything she threw away.
14:15Every lost piece.
14:16Then he turned
14:17and ordered his men.
14:19Find her.
14:19I don't care what it takes.
14:21Bring my wife back.
14:22The men rushed out of the villa.
14:24A moment later,
14:25a servant returned
14:26with a brown paper bag.
14:28Darian took it.
14:29Inside were some cheap little trinkets,
14:31a dried lavender sachet,
14:32a few smooth pebbles,
14:34some pressed plant specimens he couldn't name,
14:37and an old,
14:37locked diary.
14:39He broke the tiny lock easily.
14:40Inside was Sarah's neat handwriting,
14:42some records about herbs,
14:44and her diary entries.
14:45As he flipped through,
14:47a few lines caught his eye
14:48and drained every ounce of strength from his body.
14:51Today I passed by the study
14:53and saw Darian dealing with business.
14:55The sunlight was on his face.
14:57His eyes are so blue,
14:58just like those of the little wolf cub I saved when I was little.
15:01I wonder if the scar by his eye has healed.
15:04I hope it didn't leave a mark.
15:06My hands were too slippery back then,
15:08and I accidentally let go of him.
15:10He fell and cut his eye corner.
15:12I hope when he grows up,
15:14his eyes are still as pretty as Darian's.
15:16The scar by his eye.
15:18Darian instinctively raised a hand
15:21to the corner of his right eye.
15:23The scar that magical medicine had erased
15:26seemed to throb faintly.
15:27Only he and that little girl
15:29knew about that injury.
15:30The savior he'd been trying to repay.
15:32The person he thought he owed everything to.
15:35The guilt that Lydia had used to trap him.
15:38It was all wrong.
15:40It had been Sarah all along.
15:42The woman he'd hurt,
15:43lied to,
15:44and driven away.
15:46Lock down the whole city!
15:48His voice barely containing his rage,
15:50and fear.
15:52Send everyone out.
15:53Dig up every inch of ground if you have to.
15:55Find Sarah.
15:56But three days later,
15:58the news he got,
15:59wasn't about Sarah.
16:00It was news that stopped his heart cold.
16:03We found Madam's carriage,
16:05on the edge of the Dark Moon Forest.
16:07She was attacked by a,
16:09set up by a,
16:09a pack of shadow wolves.
16:11There was,
16:12a lot of blood.
16:13And pieces of Madam's clothing,
16:15we've confirmed,
16:16Madam dead.
16:18What?
16:18Those three words burned into Darian's heart,
16:21like three red hot brands.
16:23His tall frame swayed.
16:24Bitter copper flooded his throat.
16:26That night,
16:27blood flowed like a river,
16:28at the border of werewolf territory.
16:31Darian Wolf alone,
16:32stormed the shadow wolves lair.
16:34No one knows exactly what happened in that fight.
16:36They only know that by dawn,
16:38the name shadow wolves,
16:39had been wiped off the continent entirely.
16:41Darian came back,
16:42covered in blood.
16:43Those blue eyes no longer held any coldness,
16:46only a burning,
16:47crazed despair.
16:48He called off the bonding ceremony with Lydia.
16:50Lydia stormed into his study.
16:52Darian!
16:53Dario!
16:54How are you ever forgotten who saved your life?
16:57You owe me!
16:58You owe me forever!
16:59His eyes were like a frozen abyss,
17:02staring at her without a trace of warmth.
17:04Lydia,
17:05back when you supposedly saved me,
17:07I accidentally hurt my forehead.
17:09His voice was very soft.
17:11Tell me,
17:13was it the left side
17:15or the right?
17:16Lydia was frozen by his gaze,
17:18her mind blank.
17:20Left.
17:21Left.
17:22Before she finished,
17:23an iron hand clamped around her throat
17:25and lifted her off the ground.
17:28Darian's face loomed close,
17:30every word like shards of ice.
17:32The injury I got was on my eye.
17:35My eye corner,
17:37cut by a stone.
17:39As for your family,
17:42you dared to lie to me
17:44to make my mate take your place
17:46and suffer the curse?
17:48Then you'd better be ready
17:50to face the consequences.
17:52The next day,
17:53all of the Clemon family's assets
17:55were uprooted.
17:56The Duke,
17:57Duchess,
17:58and Lydia
17:58were thrown into the dungeons.
18:01Only then
18:02did they realize exactly
18:03what kind of monster
18:04they'd messed with.
18:06After doing all that,
18:07Darian
18:08went back to that empty room,
18:10clutching the diary.
18:11He sat in the dark,
18:13motionless,
18:14like a frozen statue of sorrow.
18:16He hadn't had time to apologize,
18:18to make things right,
18:20to tell her
18:21that the gentleness
18:22he'd shown her
18:23during that time,
18:24it had never really been
18:26about some stupid curse.
18:28He had fallen in love with her,
18:30and it was too late.
18:31A desperate,
18:33low howl
18:34escaped him,
18:35echoing through the empty manor,
18:37the sound of a lone wolf
18:39mourning its lost mate.
18:41But what he didn't know,
18:42was that somewhere
18:43he couldn't see,
18:44the story
18:45was just beginning.
18:46I,
18:47Sarah,
18:48was not dead.
18:48Ironically,
18:49my own kindness
18:50became the one thread
18:51that saved my life.
18:53I'd helped more
18:54than just those two
18:55blue-eyed wolf boys,
18:56Darian
18:56and Cain.
18:58There was also
18:58the injured tree spirit
19:00in the forest,
19:01the elf
19:01caught in a hunter's trap,
19:03even the flower fairy,
19:04crying over a dying
19:06moon grass plant.
19:07After Cain abandoned me,
19:09and Darian made me
19:10his sacrifice.
19:11I'd been so hopeless,
19:12but when the shadow wolves
19:13attacked my carriage,
19:15a soft light
19:15wrapped around me.
19:16It was Elwyn,
19:18an elf whose life
19:19I'd saved with rare herbs.
19:21He used ancient elven magic
19:22to reshape my face,
19:24changed my hair
19:25and eye color,
19:26even slightly adjusted
19:27my bone structure.
19:29Sarah Wolfe,
19:30daughter of the Clemen family,
19:31died in that attack.
19:33You're free now.
19:34You can live the life
19:36you want
19:36with a new identity.
19:38I looked at my reflection
19:39in the pond
19:39completely different.
19:40My black hair
19:41had turned dark brown.
19:43My lacustrine blue eyes
19:44a warm green.
19:46My face
19:47softer.
19:48A totally different woman.
19:50I chose to become
19:51a medical researcher.
19:52I wanted to use my knowledge
19:53to heal as many
19:54wounded creatures
19:55as I could.
19:56I no longer believed
19:57in love.
19:58I only believed
19:58in my own two hands.
20:00I took the name
20:00Ella Knight
20:01and opened a small clinic
20:02in a neutral town
20:04far from werewolf territory,
20:06offering medical care
20:07to all races.
20:08Two years passed.
20:09I thought time
20:10had been enough
20:10to forget the scent
20:11of cedar and leather
20:12on that man,
20:13the way his blue eyes
20:15could be so cold
20:16one moment
20:16and so burning
20:17the next.
20:18Until tonight,
20:19I was invited
20:20to a party
20:21hosted by a noblewoman
20:23I'd cured,
20:24Mrs. Winster.
20:25She was one of the most
20:26prominent human nobles
20:27in the area,
20:28a passionate philanthropist
20:29and my clinic's main sponsor.
20:31Ella, darling,
20:33you must come.
20:34I want to introduce you
20:35to a very important
20:36new sponsor.
20:37He's very interested
20:38in your research.
20:40Winster's invitation
20:40had been so warm.
20:42The party was
20:43incredibly luxurious.
20:44I wore a simple
20:45dark blue dress,
20:46holding a glass of wine,
20:48trying to blend
20:48into the background.
20:49Two years of peaceful life
20:51hadn't completely erased
20:52my weariness.
20:53I still instinctively
20:55avoided the center
20:55of the crowd,
20:56especially any non-human
20:58with a strong presence.
20:59Mrs. Winster beamed
21:00as she walked toward me.
21:03Come, let me introduce you.
21:05The moment I looked up
21:06and saw him,
21:07my blood froze.
21:08Darian Wolf.
21:09He hadn't changed much.
21:11No, he had.
21:13The coldness was gone
21:14from his blue eyes,
21:15replaced by something
21:16deeper, more dead.
21:18The hand holding
21:19my wine glass
21:20went white-knuckled.
21:21Mr. Woyle,
21:23this is the doctor night
21:24I told you about.
21:25A true angel.
21:26Ella,
21:27this is Mr. Wolf,
21:29head of Wolf Industries.
21:31He's very interested
21:32in your research
21:33on cross-species pathology
21:35and wants to provide
21:36a large research grant.
21:38Darian's gaze
21:39landed on me
21:40like a cold scanner.
21:41It swept over my face,
21:43my hair,
21:43then stopped at my eyes
21:44for a few seconds.
21:46My heart nearly jumped
21:46out of my throat.
21:48No,
21:48he can't recognize me.
21:50I've completely changed
21:50my face.
21:51He's a powerful
21:52werewolf alpha.
21:53Why would he remember
21:54the eyes of a woman
21:55he used to death?
21:56I forced myself
21:57to stay calm,
21:58gave a polite smile,
21:59and raised my glass.
22:00Mr. Woyle,
22:01nice to meet you.
22:02Thank you for
22:03your generosities.
22:04His face was expressionless.
22:06He raised his glass
22:07and clinked it gently
22:08against mine.
22:10Nice to meet you,
22:10Dr. Knight.
22:11His voice was still deep,
22:12but it seemed to have
22:13lost some of its
22:14old intensity.
22:15There was a raspy
22:16tiredness to it.
22:17Throughout the party,
22:19I tried my best
22:19to avoid him,
22:20but his gaze followed me
22:21like it had a physical weight.
22:23I felt my heart racing
22:25and said an early
22:26goodbye to Mrs.
22:27Darling,
22:27it's so late,
22:28it's not safe
22:29for a young woman
22:30to go home alone.
22:31I've already prepared
22:33a guest room for you.
22:34Stay the night,
22:35Mrs. Winster said
22:36considerately.
22:37I wanted to refuse,
22:38but looking out
22:39at the dark night,
22:40I hesitated,
22:41then agreed.
22:42The guest room
22:42was on the third floor,
22:44cozy and comfortable.
22:45I locked the door,
22:46leaned against it,
22:47and let out a long sigh.
22:49It's fine, Ella.
22:50Just a chance encounter.
22:51Tomorrow morning,
22:52you'll go back
22:53to your little clinic
22:54and everything
22:54will return to normal.
22:55I went into the bathroom,
22:57took off my makeup
22:58and changed into my pajamas.
23:00I turned off the light
23:01and got ready for bed.
23:02Then,
23:03moonlight streamed
23:04through the French window,
23:05illuminating a dark figure
23:07sitting on the sofa.
23:08My breath stopped.
23:09Darian sat there,
23:10his long legs crossed,
23:12watching me.
23:13In the dark,
23:14his eyes glowed
23:14like two burning sapphires
23:16locked onto me.
23:17How did you get in?
23:18My voice was shaking.
23:20He slowly stood up
23:21and walked toward me.
23:22That familiar pressure
23:23fell over me
23:23like a giant net.
23:24A door can't stop me, doctor.
23:26He stopped right in front of me,
23:28looking down.
23:29He raised a hand,
23:30and I flinched back,
23:31my spine hitting the cold wall.
23:33He didn't touch my face.
23:35Instead,
23:35he gently picked up
23:36a strand of hair
23:37by my ear.
23:38Your hair changed,
23:39he said softly,
23:40like he was stating a fact
23:41or talking to himself.
23:43Your face changed too.
23:44My heart was pounding so hard,
23:46I thought it would burst
23:47out of my throat.
23:48But Dr. Knight...
23:49He suddenly leaned in,
23:51one hand braced
23:52on the wall beside my head,
23:53trapping me between him
23:54and the wall.
23:55His hot breath
23:56fanned over my face.
23:57No matter how much
23:58you change your appearance,
24:00the unique scent
24:01your mate bond
24:02left in your soul
24:04after I marked you.
24:06He lowered his head
24:07until his nose
24:08almost touched mine.
24:09Those blue eyes
24:10swirled with terrifying,
24:12unreadable emotions.
24:13I can't be changed.
24:15And then,
24:16he bit down on my neck,
24:17hard,
24:18like he was punishing me
24:19and confirming something
24:20at the same time.
24:21Tell me, Sarah.
24:23He pulled back,
24:24his eyes wild
24:25and almost demonic
24:26in the moonlight.
24:27Why did you run?
24:29The walls I'd built
24:30over two years
24:31crumbled in that instant.
24:32A flood of emotions
24:33hit me.
24:34Tears burst out.
24:35My whole body
24:36shook uncontrollably,
24:38not from fear,
24:39but from pure,
24:40burning anger.
24:41What,
24:41do I have to play along
24:42with you
24:43and Lydia's
24:43little love game?
24:44Fine,
24:45I can't fight you anyway.
24:46Go ahead,
24:47take the third drop of blood
24:48and break the curse.
24:50I wish you happiness.
24:52After you take it,
24:53don't ever come near me again.
24:55You disgust me.
24:57I pulled open my collar,
24:58revealing the scar
24:59in my chest,
25:00the one from the dagger.
25:02The scar
25:02that would never fade.
25:04Darian froze.
25:05The madness
25:05in his eyes vanished,
25:07replaced by a painful,
25:08shattered look,
25:09like he'd been hit
25:10in the chest.
25:11He stared at the ugly scar
25:12on my chest,
25:13as if it were carved
25:14into his own heart.
25:15He stepped back,
25:16as if he couldn't bear the sight.
25:18No.
25:19His voice was so hoarse.
25:21Sarah,
25:22no.
25:22He grabbed his head,
25:23his tall body,
25:25hunching over,
25:26like a wounded beast,
25:27trapped in a snare.
25:28I'm not here
25:29to take your blood.
25:31That's not why
25:32I was looking for you.
25:33And his eyes
25:33were actually glistening
25:34with tears.
25:35I'm sorry,
25:36Sarah.
25:37I'm so sorry.
25:39Stop pretending.
25:40I heard you and Lydia
25:42talking that afternoon.
25:43I know.
25:44I'm just a tool
25:45to break your curse.
25:46He grabbed my shoulders.
25:48Not a tool!
25:49But then immediately
25:50let go in terror.
25:51She lied to me.
25:53Lydia stole your identity.
25:55The little girl
25:56who saved me in the trap.
25:58It was you,
25:58wasn't it?
25:59I saw your diary.
26:00I stared at him blankly.
26:02So what?
26:03Because you realized
26:04you were looking
26:04for the wrong person?
26:05Because you found out
26:06I'm the real savior,
26:07so now you regret it?
26:09You feel guilty?
26:10You want to take me back,
26:12make up for your mistake,
26:14and ease your own conscience?
26:16It's not like that.
26:18Then what is it?
26:19Darian Wolf,
26:20tell me,
26:21if you'd never found out
26:22the truth,
26:22what would you have done?
26:23Once my body recovered,
26:25would you have taken
26:25the third drop of heart's blood
26:26without hesitation?
26:27After I died,
26:28would you have broken our bond
26:29and happily married my sister?
26:30Answer me!
26:31He opened his mouth,
26:33but no words came out,
26:34because it was the truth.
26:35Before he saw that diary,
26:37that was exactly
26:38what he'd planned.
26:39He had no defense.
26:41His silence hurt
26:42more than any words.
26:43Just go.
26:44I don't want to see you anymore.
26:47Sarah.
26:48Get out!
26:49He saw the raw disgust
26:50in my eyes
26:51and finally understood
26:52that some wounds
26:53couldn't be healed
26:54just by the truth
26:55coming out.
26:56He left like a wolf
26:58driven out of its territory.
26:59His back looked so lonely,
27:01but I didn't feel
27:02any satisfaction.
27:03I just felt exhausted
27:05and irritated.
27:06I knew someone like him
27:07would never give up
27:08that easily.
27:09And I was right.
27:10My nightmare
27:11had only just begun.
27:12But I was right in the McLaren
27:12Then...
