Bound to the Alpha King

Short filmTranscript
00:00My name is Evelyn. My soul bears an indelible crescent-shaped mark.
00:04It appears upon my forehead, and on nights of the Blood Moon, it grows faintly warm.
00:08This is the blessing of the Moon Goddess.
00:10From the moment I was born, the High Priest of the Sanctum Church personally divined my fate
00:15and branded a prophecy upon my soul.
00:18No matter which Alpha I unite with, he is destined to become the Alpha King of the Werewolf Race,
00:23and I shall become the one and only Luna Queen, ruling the pack for eternity.
00:27When the most powerful royal clan of the North, the Silver Moon Pack, heard the prophecy,
00:32Queen Arya herself came to my family's door.
00:35Because of her old friendship with my mother, she arranged a mate bond between me and her ninth son, Eric.
00:40Everyone said that I was destined to become the future Luna Queen,
00:44but on the day of the wedding, Eric destroyed the bond in public for the sake of a low-ranking
00:49Omega.
00:50The grand hall of the Silver Moon Pack house was completely engulfed in the crimson glow of the Blood Moon.
00:57Nobles, knights, lords, and priests, all were gathered under one roof.
01:03The air was thick with heavy pheromones, the raw oppression of alphas, the submissive dependence of the navies.
01:09And I myself was the very core of this pheromone vortex.
01:13Draped in a silver-white wedding gown, I stood before the statue of the Moon Goddess.
01:17According to werewolf tradition, as long as Eric and I sliced open our palms,
01:23dripped our blood into the same silver chalice, and drank the blood oath wine,
01:27we would officially become mates.
01:29But just before the ritual could begin, Eric suddenly ripped away my silver veil.
01:34Standing right behind him was an Omega with flushed, tear-rimmed eyes.
01:39Her name was Loya.
01:40She exuded a cheap, cloyingly sweet scent of synthetic peach pheromones,
01:45which coiled around Eric like choking vines.
01:47She was a low-ranking Omega, adopted by the Silver Moon Royal Famine,
01:52and Eric's personal attendant.
01:54Loya and I have already completed our mate bond.
01:58You are nothing but a woman, who was arranged for me after the fact.
02:03Since you are entering my territory,
02:05you should bow your head to her first and acknowledge her place by my side.
02:10The hall instantly fell silent.
02:12I raised my eyes to look at him.
02:15If the Queen Mother hadn't forced me,
02:17Loya would be the only fated mate I have in this lifetime.
02:20Don't delude yourself into thinking you can rise above her.
02:22When I ascend the throne, I will absolutely make Loya my Luna.
02:26As for an heir, it will only ever be my and her pups.
02:30After hearing this, I suddenly laughed.
02:32I clearly felt it.
02:33The mark of the Moon Goddess cooled slightly for a fraction of a second.
02:37As if it were rejecting him, Eric frowned.
02:41What are you laughing at?
02:43I didn't answer him.
02:44Instead, I turned to look at the hall full of nobles.
02:47Who among you here is willing to marry me?
02:49I turned around and looked at the hall full of nobles.
02:52Since that is the case,
02:54the mate bond between Eric and Mai is hereby annulled.
02:58The pheromones in the entire hall erupted into instant chaos.
03:02The nobles began to grow restless.
03:04Everyone present,
03:05if anyone is willing to propose to me today,
03:08I, Evelyn Rosen,
03:09will forge a mate bond
03:10with him right here and now.
03:13She is the Luna Queen from the Moon Goddess's prophecy.
03:16Whoever claims her,
03:18claims a chance at the throne.
03:19Is Eric crazy?
03:21To publicly humiliate the daughter of the Rosen family for a low-rank Omega?
03:24The way many people looked at me changed,
03:27but no one dared to be the first to step forward,
03:30because this was the pack house of the Silver Moon royal family.
03:34Eric was the son of the Alpha King.
03:36To publicly snatch away his betrothed mate
03:38was tantamount to challenging the royal authority of the Silver Moon.
03:42You have a lot of nerve, Evelyn.
03:44Your name has already been carved into the Silver Moon royal's pack roster.
03:48Even if I don't want you,
03:49no one else has the right to touch you.
03:51Whoever dares to forge a blood oath with you today
03:53is publicly choosing to rebel against the pack.
03:56That
03:58is treason.
03:59As the word treason dropped,
04:01the hall fell into a dead silence once more.
04:03You only have two choices now.
04:07Either obediently marry me,
04:08get on your knees,
04:10and admit your mistake.
04:12Or be banished from all packs
04:14and become a rogue.
04:16Make your choice.
04:18He thought I would be afraid,
04:20but he forgot that he wasn't the only Alpha Heir
04:22to the Silver Moon royal family.
04:24Eric was nothing more than Queen Aria's most favored ninth son.
04:28However,
04:28the only Alpha Heir truly mentored personally
04:31and granted absolute trust by the old Alpha King
04:34is Kaylin.
04:35Just then,
04:37Queen Aria arrived.
04:38The moment she stepped inside,
04:40she raised her hand and slapped Loya.
04:42A lowly Omega dares to bewitch an Alpha at a royal wedding?
04:46Guards,
04:46drag her away.
04:48For disrupting the blood oath ceremony,
04:50she shall be executed according to clan law.
04:53Loya covered her face in weak and pitiful.
04:56Eric immediately shielded her.
04:58I'll tear apart anyone who dares to touch her.
05:01Eric,
05:02do you have any idea
05:03how much effort I put into securing
05:04this marriage arrangement for you?
05:06Evelyn is the future Lunar Queen
05:08chosen by the Moon Goddess.
05:09Her bloodline will help you secure your position
05:11and gain the support of the Council of Elders.
05:13And yet you humiliate her
05:14at your own wedding for an Omega?
05:16I never said I wouldn't marry her.
05:18I just want her to understand
05:19that once she enters my territory,
05:22Loya is the one I truly hold in my heart.
05:24He turned to look at me,
05:26his tone condescending,
05:27as if offering charity.
05:29As long as you promise to treat Loya well from now on
05:33and put her first in all things,
05:35I will let you keep the title of my official wife.
05:39But don't ever expect me to touch you.
05:42Loya is already carrying my pup.
05:44Once you marry into the family,
05:45you will take good care of her during her pregnancy.
05:48After the pup is born,
05:49you will look after it for her
05:50so she doesn't have to tire herself out.
05:52Aria was trembling with anger.
05:55However,
05:55upon hearing that Loya was pregnant,
05:57she ultimately stopped insisting on her execution.
06:01Suppressing her rage,
06:02Aria turned and took my hands in hers.
06:05Evelyn,
06:06Eric has just been a fool today.
06:08But the wedding has already begun
06:10and all the nobles are watching.
06:12Bear with it for now
06:13and complete the blood oath.
06:15In the future,
06:16I will personally stand up for you.
06:18I will never allow Loya to step over you.
06:20Her Majesty the Queen is magnanimous and can tolerate anything,
06:24but I cannot tolerate a single grain of sand in my eye.
06:27I gently pulled my hand back.
06:30Her Majesty the Queen is magnanimous and can tolerate anything,
06:33but I cannot tolerate a single grain of sand in my eye.
06:37Back when you and my mother forged our mating contract,
06:40you personally promised that Eric's would only ever have one mate in his lifetime.
06:44Now,
06:45before the blood oath is even completed,
06:48he expects me to bow down to his lover and raise their pup for them.
06:52With all due respect,
06:53I would rather become a rogue than marry a man like him.
06:56Eric was infuriated by my words.
06:58Evelyn,
06:58do you really think I have no choice but to marry you?
07:01I am leaving with Loya right now.
07:03I'd like to see whether a woman abandoned at her own wedding
07:06can ever hold her head up again.
07:09With that,
07:09he actually scooped Loya up into his arms and strode out of the hall.
07:13The Queen called after him,
07:15but he didn't even look back.
07:16Yet the Queen still refused to give up.
07:19Evelyn,
07:19we cannot miss the auspicious hour for the blood oath.
07:22I will have someone fetch Eric's sword.
07:24You can complete the vow with his sword first,
07:27and we will finish the mating ceremony at a later date.
07:29As soon as she said this,
07:31everyone was shocked.
07:32Proxy weddings were indeed an old custom among the nobility of the North.
07:36If a knight had not returned from a distant expedition,
07:39the marriage contract could be fulfilled by his sword
07:42or a representative of his kin.
07:45But today,
07:46Eric had willingly abandoned me for another woman.
07:48The sheer absurdity of the scene made me want to laugh.
07:52Just then,
07:53a steady,
07:54cold voice rang out from beyond the doors.
07:57Does what Miss Evelyn said just now still stand?
08:03Evelyn,
08:04are you willing to forge the mate bond with me?
08:07Everyone turned around in unison.
08:09A hush fell over the hall as they recognized the newcomer.
08:12It was the true heir to the Silvermoon royal family.
08:16Crown Prince,
08:17Caelan Silvermoon.
08:18His gaze fell upon me.
08:19You said earlier that if someone were to propose to you today,
08:22you would accept them on the spot.
08:26Does that still stand?
08:28I looked at him.
08:29My cool moonlight scent gently mingling with his cedarwood aura.
08:34A sudden smile graced my lips.
08:36Naturally.
08:37The corners of Caelan's lips curved up slightly.
08:40He turned to look at the Queen.
08:41Your Majesty,
08:42I would like to borrow your hall.
08:44Prince Caelan.
08:46Today was supposed to be Eric's wedding and Evelyn is his fiancƩe.
08:50This is no matter to joke about.
08:52She glanced at the surrounding nobles,
08:54seemingly hoping someone would speak up on her behalf.
08:57But no one uttered a word,
08:59because everyone knew that Caelan was the Alpha King's personally appointed heir.
09:04If the future Luna chosen by the Moon Goddess were to marry him,
09:07it would be a true match ordained by destiny.
09:10Caelan ignored the Queen,
09:12keeping his gaze locked entirely on me.
09:15Are you willing to forge the mate bond with me?
09:17Evelyn,
09:18are you willing to forge the mate bond with me?
09:20I completely let go of the slight unease and doubt in my heart,
09:24and took the initiative to approach him.
09:26I do.
09:27Caelan held his hand out to me,
09:29and I placed mine in his.
09:31His palm was warm,
09:32his fingertips slightly calloused.
09:34It was at that exact moment that I recalled the origin of his leg injury.
09:38Rumor had it,
09:39that Caelan had been severely wounded on the border battlefield,
09:43leaving him with a permanent ailment.
09:45Because of this,
09:46many questioned his right to inherit the throne of the Wolf King.
09:49Yet,
09:50as he stood beside me,
09:51no one dared to look down on him.
09:53The sacred candles of the Moon Goddess were relit.
09:56The priest proclaimed in a resounding voice,
09:58Under the watchful eyes of the Moon Goddess,
10:01Caelan Silvermoon and Evelyn Rosen hereby forge their mate bond.
10:05From this day forth,
10:07their bloodlines are intertwined,
10:09sharing in all glory and disgrace.
10:11Caelan's cedar pheromone completely enveloped me,
10:15tightly intertwining with my moonlight cold fragrance,
10:18forming a unique binding scent,
10:20stable and dominant.
10:21With the bonding contract complete,
10:24Caelan and I exchanged a smile.
10:26Aria watched all of this unfold in shock.
10:29Caelan's carriage was already waiting outside the main keep.
10:33We left side by side.
10:35As we descended the steps,
10:36he paused slightly.
10:38I instinctively reached out to support him.
10:41He seemed startled for a moment.
10:43Then,
10:43without refusing,
10:44he gently relied on my support
10:46to step into the carriage.
10:48The attendant was so shocked that his eyes stared blankly.
10:51His Highness actually let someone help him.
10:54I heard it,
10:54but didn't ask any questions.
10:57Upon returning to the Crown Prince's residence,
11:00Caelan alighted first,
11:01offering his hand to me from outside the carriage.
11:04The estate's servants,
11:06having already received the news,
11:08knelt in neat rows to welcome us.
11:10Everything happened so suddenly.
11:12The estate hasn't prepared a bridal bomber yet.
11:15I apologize for the inconvenience.
11:18It is already my good fortune
11:20that your Highness was willing to step in and save me today.
11:23I raised an eyebrow at him,
11:25but he said nothing more.
11:27Then,
11:27we went upstairs together to see my room.
11:31He opened the door with a smile.
11:33To my surprise,
11:35Caelan had prepared a room identical to my own bedroom.
11:38This was completely unexpected,
11:40and a wonderful surprise.
11:42Waking up in bed the next day,
11:44I looked at the familiar room,
11:46and suddenly realized that yesterday,
11:48I'd almost become Eric's wife.
11:50Now, however,
11:51I was already Caelan's future Luna.
11:54I looked out the window,
11:56recalling the rumors about Caelan.
11:58In his youth,
12:00he had gone to war alongside the Alpha King,
12:02and was stabbed by the enemy,
12:04leaving him with a leg injury.
12:06Many nobles used this as an excuse
12:08to urge the Alpha King to name a new heir.
12:11But the Alpha King favored him,
12:13trusted him,
12:13and defied all objections,
12:15still refusing to revoke his status as heir.
12:18Because of this,
12:19Eric and Arya always felt that his position
12:22as Crown Prince was not secure.
12:26A knock came from the door.
12:30Caelan pushed the door open and walked in,
12:33having changed into moonlight white casual attire.
12:36Today we'll go back to Rosen territory
12:38to find one your parents.
12:40The leap list has been the tribal.
12:43Take it and see if they're Shemels you wish to add.
12:45It was filled with medicinal herbs,
12:47silks, gemstones, and scrolls.
12:50Even the cedar ink my mother favored
12:52was listed among them.
12:53Your Highness has considered everything perfectly.
12:56We will depart after breakfast.
12:58Before we head to the Rosen territory,
13:01is there anywhere else you would like to go?
13:03I thought of his leg injury.
13:04I would like to visit the White Deer Apothecary.
13:07Well?
13:08The White Deer Apothecary
13:10is the best apothecary in the royal city.
13:13Inside, there are not only common herbs,
13:16but also many rare treasures
13:17from the borders and the elven forest.
13:20The shopkeeper informed Caelan
13:22that a new batch of snow ginseng had just arrived.
13:25He intends to add a snow ginseng
13:27to the gifts from my parents.
13:28I walked towards the rear medicine shelf.
13:30My mother hailed from an ancient clan of physicians,
13:33and I had studied medicine under her since childhood.
13:36I identified the root cause
13:37of Caelan's leg injury yesterday.
13:39It's not that it can't be treated,
13:41just need a few rare medicinal herbs.
13:43But suddenly I heard a familiar voice.
13:46Bring out all the best blood-nourishing medicines here.
13:49Loya is carrying my pup.
13:51She must not suffer even the slightest discomfort.
13:53It's Eric.
13:54He and Loya are standing in front of the medicine shelf
13:56and have also seen me.
13:57You failed to finish your wedding
13:59with my ceremonial sword yesterday,
14:00yet you actually have the face
14:02to show yourself in public today?
14:03Or did the entire capital laughing
14:06that you make you physically ill?
14:11Miss Evelyn,
14:12could it be that you are still harboring for Eric?
14:16Your Jilly Rally be sad.
14:18If you are Yenny,
14:20you can come to our station the Servi to serve me.
14:23Eric might even grant you a poach out of pity.
14:26I'm too lazy to deal with them
14:28and continue searching for the blood pill.
14:30This is one of the key medicinal herbs
14:33for treating Caelan's leg injury.
14:34Loya's eyes lit up
14:36when she saw the medicine in my hand.
14:39Eric,
14:40I asked the physician yesterday
14:42and he said,
14:43my blood are deficient.
14:45I need a blood pill to nourish my body.
14:47Look,
14:48isn't what Miss Ellen holding
14:49exactly a dragon spine blood pill?
14:52Give the medicine to Loya.
14:54She is carrying my pup.
14:56She is far more precious than you.
14:59I claim this first.
15:02You dare fight Loya for something?
15:04She is far more precious than you.
15:07I claim this first.
15:09You dare fight Loya for something?
15:12You're nothing but a woman I discarded.
15:15Who do you think you are?
15:18He took a step forward,
15:20reaching out to snatch it by force.
15:22Just then,
15:22Caelan walked in.
15:23Terrified,
15:24Loya dropped to her knees instantly.
15:27Eric,
15:27since when do you have the authority
15:29to manage the affairs
15:31of the Crown Prince's estate?
15:33Your Highness,
15:35it's a misunderstanding.
15:36Miss Evelyn snatched my medicine first.
15:38Eric was only trying to demand justice for me.
15:42Evelyn was abandoned by me yesterday.
15:44Today,
15:44she comes here to steal Loya's supplements.
15:47Don't let her deceive you.
15:49Presumptuous.
15:51Evelyn is my mate,
15:52and the future Luna.
15:55What?
15:57Last night,
15:58Evelyn and I completed the mate bond blood oath
16:01before the moon goddess.
16:03Eric was so scared that he knelt directly on the ground,
16:05but still managed to say,
16:08Caelan,
16:08I was merely offering a well-meaning warning.
16:10Evelyn has too fierce a temper.
16:12She might not know how to be considerate.
16:14Your daily movements are already heavily inconvenienced.
16:18If she fails to look after you properly
16:20and your injuries worsen,
16:21our father will worry.
16:22Not a single word explicitly mentioned the word crippled,
16:26yet every syllable dripped with malice
16:28directed at Caelan's leg injury.
16:30There is no need for you to worry about His Highness.
16:34I will naturally take excellent care of him.
16:37As for his leg injury,
16:39it will show signs of recovery in less than half a month.
16:42As for his leg injury,
16:44it will show signs of recovery in less than half a month.
16:47Caelan's leg injury has persisted for years,
16:50and even the finest royal physicians are entirely helpless.
16:53What can you do?
16:55Are you intentionally lying just to curry favor with him?
16:58Is there any way you will see in half a month?
17:02I didn't want to deal with him anymore,
17:04so I grabbed Caelan's hand and wanted to leave.
17:08As Caelan passed Eric, he paused.
17:11Control your woman, and control your tongue.
17:14If you dare offend the future Luna again,
17:16I will have you dealt with according to ancestral PAC laws.
17:19Eric's chest heaved with suppressed rage,
17:21but he dared not voice a single word of rebuttal.
17:24Although Loya was scared,
17:26she still breathed a sigh of relief because of our departure.
17:30Upon returning to the Crown Prince's residence,
17:32I immediately had someone dissolve the blood pill to brew medicine.
17:37I then went into the room to wait.
17:39He stared at the bowl in my hands.
17:42For me?
17:45Yes.
17:46Caelan took the medicine without any suspicion or question,
17:50tilting his head back to drink it all down.
17:52Then I explained to him,
17:55Your leg injury is due to the resiznal sill blade frost frost poison.
17:59This medicine will warm and stimulate your blood circulation.
18:02Take one dose daily,
18:04and after half a month,
18:06there should be a feasible improvement.
18:08Is it bitter?
18:10Compared to the medicines I was forced to drink,
18:12this is already considered sweet.
18:14Early the next morning,
18:16Mother was already waiting for us at the city gate of Rosen's territory.
18:20Mother saw Caelan behind me.
18:21Her expression complex.
18:24Evelyn,
18:25I never imagined that in the end you would marry the Crown Prince.
18:30His Highness treats me very well.
18:33Your Highness,
18:34Evelyn is the prize jewel of the Rosen House.
18:36I have served the Moon Goddess in this territory all my life,
18:39and I have never dared offend the royal family.
18:41But today,
18:42I must make things clear up front.
18:44If you allow her to suffer even a fraction of a grievance in the future,
18:48I will ensure you do not have an easy time.
18:50Please set your mind at ease.
18:52Evelyn is my mate,
18:53and she is the person I intend to protect for the rest of my life,
18:56if I ever fail her.
18:59I am willing to face the judgment of the Moon Goddess.
19:03After dinner in the evening,
19:05Caelan returned to his room first.
19:07He sat down and waited for me.
19:08I walked through the door,
19:10and he seemed quite surprised to see me.
19:13Evelyn,
19:14my leg truly feels better.
19:16When I stepped down from the carriage,
19:18it didn't hurt at all.
19:20You must continue taking the medicine.
19:22It will only get better from here.
19:25What do you want?
19:25Gold?
19:26Fieldons?
19:27A personal knightly order?
19:29As long as it is within my power to give,
19:31it is yours.
19:31I want nothing.
19:33However,
19:33Eric will likely not take this lying down.
19:35As the Crown Prince,
19:37Your Highness needs to keep a close eye on him.
19:39I know.
19:39From that day onward,
19:41Caelan seemed to transform
19:42into an entirely different person.
19:45He entered the Royal Palace daily before dawn,
19:47actively assisting the Alpha King with state affairs.
19:51The Alpha King saw all of this,
19:53and was immensely gratified.
19:55Alpha King,
19:56I have a matter to report.
19:57Caelan has grown increasingly arrogant
19:59in his actions lately.
20:01Taking it upon himself to wed Evelyn Rosen
20:03without prior consent,
20:04this woman was prophesied by the Moon Goddess
20:06to be the future Luna.
20:08Caelan did this just to seize power.
20:13Summon Evelyn into the hall.
20:16Eric was stunned.
20:17He thought the Wolf King
20:19would immediately question Caelan.
20:21He never anticipated
20:22that he would summon me first.
20:31Evelyn Rose pays respects to the Alpha King.
20:34I have long heard that Caelan wedded a mate
20:37of exceptional talent and beauty.
20:40Seeing you today,
20:41you truly do honor to the Rosen bloodline.
20:45Your Majesty praises me too highly.
20:48Caelan,
20:48you are far too thoughtless.
20:50Having wedded such an excellent mate,
20:52why did you not bring her into the palace sooner
20:54to let me see her?
20:55It was my oversight.
20:57I will bring Emelyn
20:58to visit the palace frequently from now on.
21:01Eric finally understood.
21:03The Alpha King was publicly acknowledging my status
21:06as the future Luna.
21:07This meant he accepted the prophecy
21:10that I would become the future Luna.
21:12At that moment,
21:13he knew he had completely lost everything.
21:18Three days later,
21:20the Alpha King issued his decree of abdication.
21:23Caelan ascended the throne
21:25at the Silver Moon Palace,
21:27becoming the new Alpha King.
21:30And I became the true Luna.
