Transcript

00:00:00The Alpha Heir could never bond with a human girl.

00:00:03The Northern Pack had one unbreakable rule,

00:00:05the Alpha Heir could never bond with a human girl.

00:00:08Despite that, Alpha Kieran Wolfe still formed a mate bond with me.

00:00:12To be with me, he openly defied the Elder's counsel.

00:00:15He endured 99 lashes,

00:00:17and was forced to kneel at the altar for three days and nights.

00:00:20Even as blood soaked through his shirt, he smiled at me and said,

00:00:24Elise, don't be afraid.

00:00:26I only want you.

00:00:28Eventually, the Elders' Council finally relented and agreed to let Kieran leave with me.

00:00:33However, there was one condition.

00:00:35He had to leave a pure-blood heir behind for the pack.

00:00:39From that moment on, the phrase I heard most from Kieran was...

00:00:42Wait.

00:00:43The first time, Kieran asked me to wait while he got another she-wolf to carry his pup.

00:00:48He slept with Cecilia Donati 33 times until she was carrying his pup.

00:00:53The second time, he told me to wait again because the first pup was a female, and the Elders wanted

00:00:59a male.

00:01:00So, Kieran slept with Cecilia 99 more times until she was carrying his pup again.

00:01:05Just when I thought our ordeal was finally over, their daughter, Tyra Wolf, accidentally ate Wolfsbane at her Meet the

00:01:12Pup party.

00:01:13Everyone was convinced I had poisoned her.

00:01:15When they threw me into the freezing cold storage room, Kieran stood at the doorway with bloodshot eyes.

00:01:20I told you to wait.

00:01:22You know what wolf-pate means to our kind!

00:01:26Why would you hurt my pup?

00:01:28My fingernails dug deep into my palms as the pain tore through me.

00:01:32When the storage room door opened again, I loosened my bloodied hands.

00:01:36This time, I was not going to wait anymore.

00:01:41I pushed open the heavy doors of the Elders' Council, forcing myself to keep my voice steady.

00:01:46I said, I'm willing to leave Kieran Walsh, but I have one condition.

00:01:51I want you to send me somewhere he'll never find me.

00:01:54Elder Lucian Pierce let out a satisfied laugh.

00:01:57If only you had been this sensible sooner.

00:02:00Spending one night in the cold storage truly showed you your place.

00:02:04A human like you was never worthy of our noble alpha bloodline.

00:02:08His voice dripped with contempt as he said,

00:02:10On the night of the full moon in ten days, we'll arrange everything to send you away.

00:02:16And when that time comes, you'd better never show your face in front of Kimon again.

00:02:20The heavy doors slammed shut abruptly, and I leaned against the mansion's cold wall.

00:02:25In the main hall, Kieran had shifted into his massive wolf form, and was gently letting his daughter, Tyra Wolf,

00:02:33tug at his thick fur.

00:02:34Cecilia was curled against his warm belly, smiling with tender satisfaction.

00:02:38The perfect family of three looked so blissfully happy together.

00:02:42Cecilia Donati noticed me first, and immediately sat up with alert eyes.

00:02:47She instinctively pulled Tyra behind her protectively.

00:02:50Mrs. George, you're back.

00:02:53Kieran almost reflexively shifted back to human form, and handed Tyra to a servant to take up stairs.

00:02:59Their wary looks cut into me like knives.

00:03:01I'll only acknowledge pups that come from your belly.

00:03:04Now watched me like I was a murderer.

00:03:09After Tyra was taken away, Kieran approached and reached out to check my frostbitten body.

00:03:14You're back.

00:03:15Did you get hurt in the cold storage?

00:03:17As I looked at this man, who had once taken 99 lashes for me, my heart ached with bitterness as

00:03:24I turned away from his touch.

00:03:25He frowned slightly.

00:03:27Elise George, given last night's situation, the more I defended you, the harsher the Elder's punishment would have been.

00:03:34With your human body, they might have even executed you.

00:03:38We're leaving soon anyway, and I don't want any more complications.

00:03:41Also, Tyra's innocent.

00:03:44Why would you-

00:03:45I told you it wasn't me!

00:03:47I growled, my eyes burning with tears.

00:03:50Wolf bath is a deadly poison.

00:03:52How could I possibly use something like that to hurt anyone?

00:03:55Kieran seemed startled by my intense reaction, and paused before softening his tone.

00:04:01Alright, fine.

00:04:02It doesn't matter now.

00:04:04Tyra is fine now.

00:04:05His dismissive words felt like ice picks stabbing into my heart.

00:04:09He still did not believe me.

00:04:11Just as the atmosphere grew tense, Cecilia approached while rubbing her slightly rounded belly.

00:04:16Mrs. George, I owe you an apology too.

00:04:18I was too panicked at the time.

00:04:20You're not a wolf, so you probably don't understand a mother's instinct to protect her pup.

00:04:25She raised her hand to brush her hair back, and the delicate crystal bracelet on her wrist glowed with a

00:04:30soft luster.

00:04:31My eyes widened, as I grabbed her wrist.

00:04:34Where did you get this bracelet?

00:04:36I gave it to her.

00:04:38Cecilia likes antique pieces.

00:04:40I looked at Kieran with deep disappointment, my heart aching as if it were being cut by a knife.

00:04:46It was you.

00:04:50Kieran said matter-of-factly, as he pulled my hand away.

00:04:53Consider it your apology gift to her.

00:04:55Besides, it's just a bracelet.

00:04:57My voice trembled with rage.

00:04:58This is the only thing my mother left me.

00:05:02How could you give it away?

00:05:03You know how much it means to me.

00:05:05I reached to snatch the bracelet back, but Cecilia suddenly staggered backward and clutched her stomach in apparent pain.

00:05:12She moaned weakly.

00:05:14My belly.

00:05:15Kieran immediately shoved me away roughly, his eyes turning frighteningly cold.

00:05:20Elise!

00:05:21She's carrying my pup!

00:05:23He was so strong that I crashed hard into the bookshelf behind me.

00:05:26Haven't you caused enough trouble?

00:05:29My head struck against it heavily, and warm blood immediately began trickling down my neck.

00:05:34Yet, Kieran did not even look back, as he swept Cecilia into his arms and rushed out.

00:05:40Kieran.

00:05:41Cecilia sobbed weakly against his chest.

00:05:44Will our pup be okay?

00:05:47Don't be afraid.

00:05:49I'm here.

00:05:50He replied, his voice tenderly reassuring, each word piercing my ears.

00:05:55We'll be fine, and so will the pup.

00:05:57When Kieran carried Cecilia out of the mansion, I was still slumped on the floor with blood trickling down my

00:06:03neck from the back of my head.

00:06:04I watched his retreating figure, so urgent, and panicked.

00:06:09Yet, he never looked back once.

00:06:13I looked down at the pool of blood beneath me, and suddenly laughed, and the sound was bleak.

00:06:18Later, I took a carriage to the hospital, alone.

00:06:21The doctor saw how severe my injury was, and immediately began stitching and bandaging the wound.

00:06:27By the time they finished treating me, I had lost so much blood that I was dizzy, and could barely

00:06:31stand.

00:06:32I had just stumbled out of the examination room when someone grabbed my wrist roughly.

00:06:37Elise, Cecilia almost miscarried, yet you still wouldn't stop.

00:06:42You followed us to the hospital, to cause more trouble.

00:06:46Kieran's voice was tight with rage.

00:06:48His brow was furrowed deeply, and his eyes held a bone-chilling coldness.

00:06:52He still carried Cecilia's suffocating perfume scent on his clothes.

00:06:56I came to the hospital, but not for her.

00:06:59I pointed to my freshly bandaged forehead.

00:07:01I was injured too, and I couldn't treat it myself.

00:07:05Kieran's expression froze.

00:07:07He finally noticed the strong scent of blood on me, masked by antiseptic, and the thick gores still seething red.

00:07:16Kieran, you said that once she delivered the pup, you'd take me away.

00:07:21I said, looking at him as my nose began to sting.

00:07:23But now, do you even see me anymore?

00:07:26Kieran's frown deepened as he reached out tenderly to touch my wound.

00:07:29What happened here?

00:07:31You pushed me.

00:07:32I said calmly, dodging his touch.

00:07:34I hit the bookshelves.

00:07:38To you, it was just a casual shove, wasn't it?

00:07:41Kieran's pupil contracted as he recalled the force he had used in his moment of rage.

00:07:46For a human, it could have been fatal.

00:07:48He pulled me into his arms, guiltily.

00:07:50Elise, I'm sorry.

00:07:52I didn't mean to.

00:07:53I was just afraid something would happen to Cecilia.

00:07:56She's carrying the pack's future.

00:07:58If anything went wrong, the Elder's Council would never forgive us.

00:08:01And our departure would be delayed again.

00:08:03I let him hold me while staring blankly at the sterile white ceiling.

00:08:06I had heard these excuses too many times before.

00:08:09I understand.

00:08:10I said, pushing him away.

00:08:12Go take care of her.

00:08:13I turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist again.

00:08:16Elise, no matter what, you have to believe that I only love you.

00:08:22Everything I do is to help us escape this prison as quickly as possible.

00:08:26Kieran released my hand and, as he walked away, said,

00:08:29When I get home, I'll bring you your favorite cranberry cupcakes.

00:08:33With that, he headed toward the private healing chamber at the end of the corridor,

00:08:37where Cecilia was being cared for by the pack's finest healers.

00:08:41I stood there, watching him disappear into the distance.

00:08:44Suddenly, I laughed, and tears began streaming down my face.

00:08:48I don't believe you anymore.

00:08:49I whispered to the empty air and to my own dying heart.

00:08:53Kieran, I will never believe any of your promises ever again.

00:09:01Kieran was gone for three days straight.

00:09:03During those three days,

00:09:05Cecilia sent me taunting letters every single day.

00:09:09Cecilia, what the hell do you want from me?

00:09:12My voice shaking with barely contained rage.

00:09:14I could almost hear her soft, mocking laugh through the ink.

00:09:18Oh, nothing much.

00:09:19I just thought you should see how happy your husband is without you.

00:09:22Three days, and he hasn't even mentioned your name once.

00:09:25The letter ended there abruptly.

00:09:26In my mind's eye, I saw Kieran gently coaxing Tyra with toys,

00:09:31while Cecilia leaned intimately against his shoulder,

00:09:34smiling sweetly as she watched the father-daughter interaction.

00:09:38I endured the heartache, and read every letter she sent.

00:09:41She wrote about him keeping watch by her hospital bed deep into the night,

00:09:45feeding her soup, and holding Tyra with nothing but adoration in his eyes.

00:09:49Each word felt like a needle piercing my heart.

00:09:52The pain kept coming until suddenly, I realized I could not feel it anymore.

00:09:56Perhaps my heart had already died the moment I was locked in that ice cell.

00:10:00I was about to burn her letters when a servant brought another package.

00:10:03Inside was a sketch of my mom's crystal bracelet being toyed with in Cecilia's hands.

00:10:08Want your mother's keep-safe?

00:10:09Then come get it.

00:10:12I shot to my feet so fast, that my vision went black from the lingering blood loss.

00:10:18Yet, I did not care.

00:10:20I grabbed my coat and rushed out.

00:10:22In the hospital room, Cecilia was holding Tyra and humming a lullaby softly.

00:10:27Daddy loves you the most, doesn't he?

00:10:30Daddy's alpha power will be passed down to you someday.

00:10:34She looked up when she saw me, her smile deepening.

00:10:37You came.

00:10:38Did you know that during my stay here, Ciaran hasn't even gone on his territory patrols.

00:10:43He's been right here, using his pheromones to comfort me.

00:10:48And our future heir.

00:10:50She deliberately emphasized the word heir.

00:10:52My nails dug deep into my palms as I asked coldly,

00:10:55Where's the bracelet?

00:10:56Cecilia leisurely picked up the antique crystal bracelet from the bedside table

00:11:00And dangled it from her fingertips.

00:11:02You mean this?

00:11:04She flashed a cruel smile.

00:11:06Here's the deal.

00:11:07With your human body.

00:11:08Bow to me, Ciaran's future Luna.

00:11:12And I'll consider giving it back.

00:11:14I trembled with rage.

00:11:15Don't go too far!

00:11:19Cecilia's eyes were full of disdain.

00:11:21Her arrogance on full display.

00:11:23So what if I do?

00:11:25Elise, you're nothing but a fragile, short-lived human.

00:11:28While I possess the purest alpha bloodline.

00:11:31What right do you have to compete with me for Ciaran's affection?

00:11:35Bowing to me is an honor.

00:11:37She pretended to loosen her grip.

00:11:39I'll count to three.

00:11:40If you don't get on your knees, I'll drop it.

00:11:43Two.

00:11:44One.

00:11:45I bit my lip so hard I nearly drew blood.

00:11:48My knees felt like they were filled with lead.

00:11:50But they finally crashed heavily onto the cold floor

00:11:53As I bowed down with my forehead touching the ground.

00:11:56Cecilia burst out laughing.

00:11:58Look at you.

00:12:00You really do look like a pathetic dog.

00:12:03She raised her hand and I reached out to catch it.

00:12:06However, she released her fingers just half a step away from me.

00:12:10The crystal bracelet shattered on the floor, breaking into several pieces.

00:12:15Cecilia covered her grin with a look of mock surprise.

00:12:17Oh my!

00:12:19How careless of you!

00:12:20You couldn't even catch it!

00:12:50I trembled.

00:12:51Ciaran, my stomach hurts so much.

00:12:54Oh, and check Tyra quickly.

00:12:56I just saw Elise pinching and hitting her.

00:12:59Ciaran frantically picked up the puck to examine her, lifting her clothes to reveal tender skin covered in purple bruises

00:13:05from pinching.

00:13:06I stared in disbelief.

00:13:08I didn't!

00:13:09I never even touched her!

00:13:13I shook my head desperately as Lucian glared at me with venom in his eyes.

00:13:16Suddenly, a blow heavy with werewolf strength struck me across the face.

00:13:21My vision went black, my ears rang, and blood dripped from the corner of my mouth.

00:13:26You vile woman!

00:13:27Lucian's voice sounded like an echo.

00:13:30You dare harm a pregnant she-wolf and an innocent pup!

00:13:34Another elder said coldly.

00:13:36The last punishment was too lenient.

00:13:39Guards, drag her to the punishment chamber and give her twenty flaps.

00:13:44Ciaran clenched his fists tightly and stepped forward.

00:13:47Elders, you still want to protect her?

00:13:49Lucian interrupted harshly.

00:13:51She harmed your own bloodline.

00:13:53Even if you plan to run away with her, it doesn't change that this pup carries your blood!

00:14:00I trembled, instinctively looking toward Ciaran.

00:14:04He still stood there, with his knuckles white from clenching.

00:14:08In the punishment chamber, wolf guards pinned me down, forcing me to kneel on the stone slab in the center.

00:14:13The first lash came down, and my vision went black.

00:14:17In a daze, I remembered when I had broken up with Ciaran, on the day he decided to rebel against

00:14:22his family, to be with me.

00:14:24That night it poured rain, and he stood outside my window, letting the storm drench him until he burned with

00:14:29a high fever.

00:14:30When I went to see him, he was delirious with fever.

00:14:33Yet, he still grabbed my hand and said,

00:14:36Elise, remember, even if it means fighting the whole world, I want only you as my mate.

00:14:43At the fifteenth lash, I seemed to hear his gentle voice from years ago, when I was injured.

00:14:48How did you get hurt again?

00:14:50Let me lick it.

00:14:52It won't hurt for much longer.

00:14:54Finally, the last lash struck, and I could not hold on anymore.

00:14:57My vision went black as I completely passed out.

00:15:00Just before losing consciousness, I saw Ciaran anxiously pulling me into his arms.

00:15:07When I woke up again, I was lying face down on a bed.

00:15:11Even the slightest movement sent searing pain across my back.

00:15:15Elise!

00:15:16Ciaran immediately rushed over.

00:15:18His eyes bloodshot with exhaustion.

00:15:21You're awake.

00:15:22Does it still hurt?

00:15:24I silently pulled my hand away, unwilling to look at him.

00:15:28Ciaran stiffened for a moment before speaking again to explain.

00:15:31Elise, it's not that I didn't want to stop them.

00:15:34But in that situation, the more I resisted, the harsher the Elder's punishment would have been.

00:15:39Elder Lucian even considered executing you.

00:15:42I had to protect your life first.

00:15:43So, I said with a hoarse voice,

00:15:47You also believe I hurt your pup?

00:15:49Ciaran's Adam's apple bobbed once.

00:15:51Ultimately, he chose silence.

00:15:53This moment of silence was like a dull blade,

00:15:56brutally cutting through my last shred of hope.

00:15:59With reddened eyes, I slowly said,

00:16:02I'll ask you just one question.

00:16:04Ciaran Wolf, in the name of the moon and our mate bond,

00:16:08do you believe me?

00:16:11Ciaran frowned, anger creeping into his voice.

00:16:14Elise, there are bruises on Tyra, and Cecilia named you herself.

00:16:19There's a witness and evidence.

00:16:21How do you expect me to believe you?

00:16:23Didn't I tell you that everything would be fine once this was all over?

00:16:27Why did you have to provoke Cecilia?

00:16:29My tears suddenly started falling.

00:16:31I thought I would not feel pain anymore,

00:16:33but my chest still felt like it was being viciously torn apart.

00:16:36I hurriedly turned my head away,

00:16:38not wanting him to see me looking so pathetic and weak.

00:16:41Go.

00:16:42I whispered so quietly it was barely audible.

00:16:45Just wait a little longer, okay?

00:16:48His voice softened as he tried to approach me again.

00:16:50Soon, once Cecilia gives birth to this pup,

00:16:54we'll definitely be able to leave.

00:16:56I swear,

00:16:58I'll take you to see the southern seas that never freeze.

00:17:01We would go back to how things were?

00:17:03I closed my eyes, my throat tightening.

00:17:05I knew well that we could never go back.

00:17:07After all,

00:17:09he had Cecilia now and two pups.

00:17:11For their sake,

00:17:12he had hurt me again and again,

00:17:14choosing others over me time after time.

00:17:17I slowly turned over to face away from him,

00:17:20not wanting to say another word.

00:17:25Ciaran looked at me,

00:17:26his face twisted with pain.

00:17:28In the end,

00:17:29he only reached out to brush my hair,

00:17:31whispering,

00:17:31Sleep.

00:17:32I'll stay here with you.

00:17:33Before he even finished,

00:17:35the door was violently pushed open,

00:17:37and Ibita stood there frantically.

00:17:39Alpha,

00:17:40Miss Donati's been crying and calling for you.

00:17:42The healer says emotional fluctuations may hurt the pup.

00:17:45Ciaran frowned.

00:17:46He glanced at my turned back and hesitated for a moment.

00:17:50Then he stood up.

00:17:51Elise,

00:17:53I...

00:17:53I let out a self-mocking laugh and murmured,

00:17:57Go.

00:17:58Wait for me.

00:17:59I'll go check on them.

00:18:00Then come right back to take care of you.

00:18:02Watching his retreating figure,

00:18:03I smiled bitterly.

00:18:05You're a liar,

00:18:07Kyron.

00:18:08You won't be coming back.

00:18:10Sure enough,

00:18:11he never returned that night.

00:18:12I was discharged the next day,

00:18:14and it was pouring rain outside.

00:18:16I packed my belongings

00:18:17and stood at the hospital entrance,

00:18:20watching Ciaran's carriage slowly approach.

00:18:22As soon as I opened the carriage door,

00:18:24I saw Cecilia holding Tyra in the passenger seat.

00:18:27Ciaran.

00:18:28Cecilia saw me and immediately shrank closer to him.

00:18:32I...

00:18:33I haven't recovered from the shock yet.

00:18:37She covered her lower abdomen,

00:18:39her voice trembling.

00:18:40She can hurt me if she wants,

00:18:41but she can't hurt Tyra.

00:18:44Can you...

00:18:45give me a little more time?

00:18:47Please don't make me ride in the same carriage with her for now.

00:18:50I froze,

00:18:51as I stared at the seat that used to belong to me.

00:18:54Ciaran was silent for a long time,

00:18:56then finally pushed his door open

00:18:57and handed me a large umbrella.

00:18:59Elise,

00:19:00wait here for a while.

00:19:01I'll take Cecilia home first

00:19:03and come right back to pick you up.

00:19:05With that,

00:19:06he closed the window

00:19:07and the black carriage sped away.

00:19:09I stood there motionless,

00:19:11watching the carriage carrying the family of three disappear at the end of the road.

00:19:15I closed my eyes,

00:19:16feeling like there was a huge hole in my chest that could never be filled,

00:19:19with cold wind rushing through it.

00:19:21I waited for a long time,

00:19:23until the rain grew heavier,

00:19:25and the sky turned completely dark.

00:19:27Ciaran had promised to come back for me,

00:19:29but he never did.

00:19:30My communication crystal had lost its glow,

00:19:32and I called out to him repeatedly through our mind link.

00:19:35Yet,

00:19:36there was only blocked silence on the other end.

00:19:38Seeing the sky grow darker with no sign of the storm letting up,

00:19:41I had no choice but to open the heavy umbrella and walk home.

00:19:46The fierce wind nearly snapped the umbrella frame,

00:19:49as I stumbled forward.

00:19:51Suddenly,

00:19:52my foot slipped,

00:19:53and I fell hard into a mud.

00:19:58The umbrella cracked with a sharp sound,

00:20:00and rain instantly soaked through my entire body.

00:20:03By the time I finally made it home in my messy state,

00:20:05it was already deep into the night.

00:20:08As I stood dripping wet in the entryway,

00:20:10I heard Cecilia's tearful voice coming from the living room.

00:20:13Her voice was soft and trembling.

00:20:16Ciaran,

00:20:17I know you only have Elise in your heart,

00:20:20but this really is a special situation.

00:20:23My milk ducts are blocked,

00:20:24and it hurts so much,

00:20:26and Tyara keeps crying for milk.

00:20:28She sobbed.

00:20:29The usual methods don't work,

00:20:31and the healer said,

00:20:32perhaps the pup's father has to help.

00:20:36Just think of it as for Tyra's sake.

00:20:38Please help me.

00:20:40Don't worry.

00:20:41Elise will never know.

00:20:42I froze at the doorway,

00:20:44and it felt like all the blood in my body had run cold.

00:20:47In the living room,

00:20:48I could not see his expression,

00:20:50only his tense back.

00:20:51After a long silence,

00:20:53I watched Ciaran's left hand slowly rise,

00:20:55his fingertips parting Cecilia's clothing,

00:20:58as his right hand slid over her pale skin.

00:21:01Then,

00:21:02right before my eyes,

00:21:03he lowered his head,

00:21:04and pressed his lips against that softness.

00:21:09I was struck motionless,

00:21:10like lightning had hit me directly.

00:21:13Time seemed to stretch endlessly,

00:21:15each second feeling like a knife,

00:21:17stabbing into my eyes,

00:21:18and carving into my soul.

00:21:19I watched helplessly as Ciaran leaned down.

00:21:22I watched as his lips touched Cecilia's chest,

00:21:25and I certainly watched as he sucked gently,

00:21:28over and over again.

00:21:30Cecilia let out a satisfied moan,

00:21:33threading her fingers through his hair.

00:21:34This side needs attention too.

00:21:36Ciaran frowned slightly.

00:21:38But that side isn't blocked, is it?

00:21:40Cecilia did not answer with words.

00:21:42Instead,

00:21:43she wrapped her arms around his neck,

00:21:44and pressed his face against her.

00:21:46After a moment of silence,

00:21:48he lowered his head again.

00:21:49I could not watch anymore,

00:21:50and vaulted into the rain.

00:21:52The storm poured down on me,

00:21:54but I felt no cold.

00:21:56My mind was filled with memories of our first time together,

00:21:59how careful Ciaran had been,

00:22:01how he had treasured me,

00:22:02and how he had whispered in my ear with that husky voice.

00:22:05Elise, you're my first,

00:22:08and you'll be my last.

00:22:09Now, those same lips were on another woman.

00:22:12My heart ached,

00:22:13and it hurt worse than the lashes.

00:22:14I bent over and crouched in the rain

00:22:17until my legs went numb,

00:22:18waiting until the mansion's lights finally went out,

00:22:21before stumbling back like a lost soul,

00:22:23and collapsing in an empty room.

00:22:27The fever hit hard and fast in the middle of the night.

00:22:31Half conscious,

00:22:31I heard Ciaran's deep, gentle voice from the master bedroom.

00:22:35He was humming an old werewolf lullaby,

00:22:37one used to soothe their young.

00:22:39Of course,

00:22:40he was doing prenatal bonding with the pup in Cecilia's belly,

00:22:43using a method reserved only for the closest of kin.

00:22:47Just like he had once promised me,

00:22:49saying,

00:22:50When we have our pup,

00:22:51I'll sing our ancestors' songs to help him sleep every...

00:22:54I did not know how long had passed,

00:22:56before I heard someone calling me.

00:22:58Elise!

00:23:00Elise!

00:23:01I struggled to open my eyes,

00:23:03and saw Ciaran sitting by the bed with a bowl of medicine.

00:23:06How did you get this sick?

00:23:08He touched my forehead with the same gentle care as before.

00:23:11However,

00:23:12when he got close,

00:23:13all I could see was what I had witnessed in that bedroom.

00:23:16I turned away,

00:23:18refusing his touch.

00:23:19Elise!

00:23:21I'll leave the medicine and water here.

00:23:22He paused,

00:23:23his voice strained.

00:23:24Cecilia is sick and carrying my pup.

00:23:27Plus,

00:23:28she has Tyra to care for,

00:23:29so,

00:23:30she'll be staying in our house for now.

00:23:32The master bedroom will be theirs for the time being.

00:23:35You'll stay in this room for the next few days and shouldn't leave,

00:23:38in case they catch something from you.

00:23:40I'll have the door locked from the outside,

00:23:42and Brad will bring you food and medicine.

00:23:46Without waiting for my response,

00:23:48Ciaran practically fled the room to go care for Cecilia and Tyra.

00:23:51The lock clicked shut,

00:23:53and my tears fell instantly.

00:23:55How ridiculous.

00:23:56I had once been the treasure he held in the palm of his hand,

00:24:00but now I had become nothing but a danger

00:24:02that needed to be locked away.

00:24:04Maybe it was Cecilia's doing,

00:24:06but over the next few days,

00:24:07no one brought me water or food on schedule.

00:24:10My fever would not break,

00:24:12leaving me dizzy and lightheaded,

00:24:14while I constantly heard laughter and joy from outside.

00:24:17From the living room came the sound of a familiar,

00:24:20magical projection,

00:24:21playing one Ciaran used to watch with me,

00:24:23wrapped in his arms.

00:24:25Cecilia's soft voice drifted through the door,

00:24:28sweet and intimate.

00:24:29This scene always makes me cry.

00:24:31Hold me tighter, just like this.

00:24:34Ciaran chuckled warmly.

00:24:36All right, come here.

00:24:38You're such a baby.

00:24:40They shared candlelit dinners in the living room,

00:24:42just like the surprises he used to cook for me every month.

00:24:45The clink of wine glasses and their quiet laughter carried clearly to my room.

00:24:50Later that night, their voices turned softer, more tender,

00:24:53as they talked about the future.

00:24:55It's a boy, I want to name him Fenlore.

00:24:57Strong, just like his father.

00:24:59What do you think?

00:25:00Fenlore sounds perfect.

00:25:01And if it's a girl?

00:25:03Serafina.

00:25:04She'll be as beautiful as you.

00:25:06I curled up on the bed,

00:25:07biting the blanket hard,

00:25:08refusing to let myself cry out loud.

00:25:14After three full days of fever,

00:25:17I finally recovered.

00:25:18The day I walked out of my room

00:25:20happened to be Tyra's official pack recognition ceremony,

00:25:23the Moonlight Ritual.

00:25:24The ceremony was held at the pack's sacred ground,

00:25:27a moonlit grove surrounded by ancient oak trees.

00:25:31A bonfire blazed bright

00:25:32while the scent of roasted venison filled the air,

00:25:35and the werewolves drank honey mead

00:25:37as the atmosphere grew festive.

00:25:39Lucian and several elders beamed with joy

00:25:42as they held the swaddled Tyra

00:25:44while she received blessings from the pack members.

00:25:47Exquisite jewelry and precious toys

00:25:49were piled high like a small mountain.

00:25:51Ciaran, this is for Cecilia.

00:25:54Lucian smiled as he handed over a wooden box.

00:25:57Inside was a ring set

00:25:58with an enormous milky white gem

00:26:00that seemed to pulse with moonlight.

00:26:03It was the tear of the moon goddess.

00:26:05She has given the wolf family

00:26:07a healthy bloodline!

00:26:10Ciaran slipped the ring onto Cecilia's finger

00:26:12and whispered gently.

00:26:13You've done so well.

00:26:15Cecilia blushed and leaned into his arms,

00:26:17and the family of three looked blissfully happy.

00:26:23The guests circled Tyra,

00:26:25praising her endlessly.

00:26:26Tyra's cry is so strong!

00:26:28She'll definitely be a powerful warrior.

00:26:30Her eyes are like Cecilia's,

00:26:32with the color of moonlight.

00:26:33What a union of powerful bloodlines!

00:26:35Long live the Alpha, Ciaran, and Miss Donari!

00:26:37I stood in the corner watching it all.

00:26:40My nails dug deep into my palms,

00:26:42but I felt no pain.

00:26:43I didn't expect that it would be to pose for a portrait.

00:26:46Cecilia suddenly walked toward me with a wine glass,

00:26:49her smile sweet.

00:26:50The artist carefully prepared his magical recording crystal.

00:26:54Miss George, Mrs. Donati,

00:26:55please stand a little closer.

00:26:57Cecilia looked unbothered, though.

00:26:58She directly pulled me towards the artist's easel.

00:27:01Don't worry, Miss George,

00:27:02this magical recording crystal won't harm you.

00:27:05It will just record your current state.

00:27:07Look how good Ciaran is to me now.

00:27:10Every night he stays with me,

00:27:12wrapping me in his Alpha aura,

00:27:14until I sleep.

00:27:15I closed my eyes wearily,

00:27:17not wanting to listen or argue.

00:27:19We are ready.

00:27:19Just wishing it to end quickly.

00:27:21The moment the magical recording crystal

00:27:23clicked and captured the image,

00:27:24the massive totem pole behind us,

00:27:26a symbol of the pack's history,

00:27:28gave a sharp crack.

00:27:30Watch out!

00:27:32As the totem pole collapsed,

00:27:35Ciaran rushed over and grabbed me.

00:27:37The huge wooden column crashed to the ground,

00:27:39scraping past my back and raising a cloud of dust.

00:27:43Meanwhile, Cecilia was struck by splintered wood

00:27:45and the impact force of the collapse.

00:27:48She screamed as she fell,

00:27:49with a shocking pool of bright red blood

00:27:51spreading beneath her.

00:27:52Cecilia!

00:27:53Ciaran released me and rushed to her like a madman.

00:27:56Outside the operating room,

00:27:57Ciaran paced anxiously.

00:27:59Watching his restless state,

00:28:00I remembered how he had kept watch by my bedside all night,

00:28:04when I was injured while gathering herbs in the mountains.

00:28:07Alpha, Ciaran!

00:28:08The healer suddenly burst through the curtain.

00:28:11Miss Donati is hemorrhaging badly.

00:28:12The blood reserves don't have her blood type.

00:28:14We need an immediate donation!

00:28:16Take mine.

00:28:16That won't work!

00:28:17You're type A,

00:28:18and Miss George's type O.

00:28:20Given her weakened state after the injury,

00:28:22she might not be able to handle the violent energy in an alpha's blood.

00:28:25It has to be human blood.

00:28:26After hearing this,

00:28:28Ciaran's gaze snapped to me.

00:28:30At that moment,

00:28:31I felt like I had been struck by lightning.

00:28:35I stepped back abruptly,

00:28:37my voice trembling.

00:28:39I won't do it.

00:28:40My blood,

00:28:41the one thing they saw as special in this body they deemed a lowly humans,

00:28:45was now supposed to be used as a tool to save his air.

00:28:48Elise!

00:28:49Ciaran grabbed my wrist,

00:28:51his eyes sharp.

00:28:52This isn't the time for your tantrum.

00:28:54She's carrying the pack's air.

00:28:56If something happens,

00:28:57we'll never be able to leave.

00:28:58Do you understand?

00:28:59My heart clenched painfully.

00:29:01I wondered if he was afraid we could not leave,

00:29:03or that something would happen to their pup.

00:29:05What if I refuse?

00:29:06Ciaran's face darkened.

00:29:08I saved you,

00:29:09and that was what caused Cecilia's injury.

00:29:11You owe her this.

00:29:13Is giving a little blood really so hard?

00:29:15He looked at me with disappointment.

00:29:18Ilysses,

00:29:19how did you end up like this?

00:29:20My heart stabbed with pain.

00:29:22Had I changed?

00:29:23He was the one who had pursued me relentlessly,

00:29:26saying I was his only possible mate.

00:29:28He was the one who promised to recognize only me for life,

00:29:32who stood in the rain begging me to trust that he could handle everything.

00:29:36Now he was saying I had changed?

00:29:39My voice shook as I replied,

00:29:41So,

00:29:42you regret saving me.

00:29:44If you could do it over,

00:29:45you'd slave Cecilia and your pup first, wouldn't you?

00:29:48Ciaran froze.

00:29:49What are you talking about?

00:29:50Something's wrong.

00:29:52Miss Donati is in critical condition.

00:29:54The healer urged anxiously.

00:29:56Any more delay,

00:29:57and we'll lose both mother and pup.

00:29:59Alpha,

00:30:00make a decision quickly.

00:30:01Ciaran's eyes hardened.

00:30:03Without further hesitation,

00:30:04he ordered the guards at the door.

00:30:06Take her to the blood drawing chamber.

00:30:08I was forced into the chair,

00:30:09as a hollow silver needle pierced my vein,

00:30:12and my blood flowed out,

00:30:14drop by drop.

00:30:15Throughout it all,

00:30:16Ciaran never once looked back at me.

00:30:18When they had drawn two vials,

00:30:20the healer hesitated.

00:30:21Alpha!

00:30:22Miss George is too weak.

00:30:24If we draw more,

00:30:25I'm afraid.

00:30:27Continue.

00:30:27Ciaran said without turning around.

00:30:29When they reached three vials,

00:30:31in my delirium,

00:30:32I seemed to see Ciaran

00:30:34from when we first met,

00:30:35standing outside the herb shop,

00:30:37smiling at me.

00:30:38I'm Ciaran Wolfe,

00:30:40and I'll be back tomorrow.

00:30:41In the final moment,

00:30:43I completely lost consciousness.

00:30:47When I woke up again,

00:30:49Ciaran was sitting by the hospital bed.

00:30:51I thought he would coax me gently like before,

00:30:53begging for my forgiveness.

00:30:55Yet,

00:30:56when I opened my eyes,

00:30:57I met his cold gaze instead.

00:31:00Did you ruin the totem pole?

00:31:01My mind went completely blank.

00:31:03What are you talking about?

00:31:04Ciaran's eyes were sharp.

00:31:05The elders' council investigated,

00:31:07and found that someone had soared

00:31:09halfway through the totem pole's base.

00:31:12If it wasn't you,

00:31:13who else would be scheming so hard

00:31:15to harm Cecilia?

00:31:17A chill spread through me.

00:31:18I'll say it again.

00:31:20It wasn't me.

00:31:21Not this time.

00:31:22Not this time.

00:31:24Not the last time.

00:31:25Not the time before that.

00:31:27Do you believe me?

00:31:28Ciaran.

00:31:30Swear on your wolf's soul,

00:31:32and tell me if you sense through our bond

00:31:35that I'm lying!

00:31:37My voice rose into a scream,

00:31:39with the last words.

00:31:41You're still denying it!

00:31:43Ciaran's eyes turned cold.

00:31:45You always ask me to believe you,

00:31:47but what have you done?

00:31:49Cecilia ends up hurt,

00:31:50while the pups are in danger.

00:31:53I told you.

00:31:55I only treat her well because of the air.

00:31:58Why do you insist on making a scene,

00:32:00if she loses the pup?

00:32:02What good does that do for us?

00:32:05My chest heaved violently

00:32:07as countless grievances and anger clogged my throat.

00:32:10I wanted to question him,

00:32:11to argue back,

00:32:12to scream at the top of my lungs

00:32:14that I had never hurt anyone.

00:32:15I wanted to ask if he had forgotten his promise

00:32:18to always believe me unconditionally

00:32:20and never doubt me.

00:32:21In the end,

00:32:22I just looked at him wearily,

00:32:24my voice trembling,

00:32:25as I said,

00:32:26Fine.

00:32:28Since you don't trust me,

00:32:29let's end this.

00:32:31You can break the mate on between us.

00:32:33I'll step aside so you can live happily

00:32:35as a family of four.

00:32:37Ciaran froze instantly.

00:32:38His golden pupils contract me sharply.

00:32:41What did you say?

00:32:42An uncontrolled werewolf growl

00:32:44spilled from his throat.

00:32:46I glared at him with bloodshot eyes.

00:32:48Wasn't I clear enough?

00:32:49I renounced the bond between us.

00:32:53I'm willingly stepping aside for you and Cecilia.

00:32:56Ciaran punched the nearby table,

00:32:58shattering it,

00:32:59as wood splinters flew everywhere.

00:33:01He grabbed my wrist,

00:33:02fury rolling in his eyes.

00:33:04Elise!

00:33:06What are you saying?

00:33:08I've always loved you,

00:33:10yet you want me to be with another woman.

00:33:12I stared back at him stubbornly

00:33:14with teary eyes,

00:33:15saying nothing.

00:33:18After a long standoff,

00:33:19Ciaran took a deep breath.

00:33:21He forcibly suppressed his anger

00:33:23and pulled me into his arms,

00:33:24holding me so tight

00:33:26it felt like he wanted to merge me

00:33:27into his bones.

00:33:28This matter ends here.

00:33:30Cecilia has already

00:33:32forgiven you,

00:33:33and I won't hold it against you either.

00:33:35But remember this.

00:33:36He tightened his arms,

00:33:37his voice hoarse as he said,

00:33:39Don't ever mention breaking the bond

00:33:41or leaving again, never!

00:33:42Everything I'm doing is for our future.

00:33:45I did not tell him that to hell with the future.

00:33:47I had already decided to leave.

00:33:49She forgave me that easily.

00:33:51No conditions.

00:33:52I asked softly,

00:33:54my voice numb.

00:33:55Ciaran's body stiffened,

00:33:56and he was silent for a moment

00:33:58before releasing me.

00:33:59She wants to hold a moonlight vow ceremony.

00:34:02Cecilia says she wants the pups

00:34:04to know their parents once loved each other,

00:34:06are blessed by the moon goddess,

00:34:07to give them a legitimate background.

00:34:10After a pause,

00:34:11he turned to look at me.

00:34:11But this vow is fake.

00:34:13I'm just going through the motions

00:34:15to give the pack and pups an explanation.

00:34:18Don't overthink it.

00:34:20My lips trembled,

00:34:22but I could not say a word.

00:34:23My heart felt like it was being squeezed

00:34:25by an icy hand,

00:34:27each beat bringing tearing pain and absurdity.

00:34:30Ciaran, oh Ciaran,

00:34:31you already have children with her,

00:34:33and now you're even having the pack's

00:34:36most sacred moonlight vow ceremony.

00:34:38What part of this is fake?

00:34:40What am I supposed to be to you?

00:34:42Ciaran kept talking,

00:34:43his voice fading in and out,

00:34:45as he explained the necessity of the ceremony,

00:34:48and promised we would leave together afterward.

00:34:50I watched his moving lips

00:34:52and suddenly felt utterly exhausted.

00:34:54I slowly closed my eyes,

00:34:56letting those words turn to dust,

00:34:58and settle on my already dead heart.

00:35:00I never spoke another word.

00:35:02Ciaran stayed with me at the healer's chamber

00:35:04for three full days,

00:35:05caring for me meticulously.

00:35:07When feeding me medicine,

00:35:09he would always blow on it gently first,

00:35:11then carefully bring it to my lips.

00:35:13At night,

00:35:14if I made the slightest movement,

00:35:16he would wake up startled,

00:35:17and frantically grab my hand,

00:35:19until he was sure I was okay.

00:35:21When the healer gave me magical healing needles,

00:35:23he would hold me in his arms,

00:35:25his fingers gently covering my eyes

00:35:28while he whispered soothingly,

00:35:29Don't look.

00:35:30It'll be over soon.

00:35:34However,

00:35:35after taking me home from the healer's chamber,

00:35:37he immediately began preparing for the vow ceremony.

00:35:40To prevent me from causing trouble,

00:35:42he even confiscated my communication crystal,

00:35:44and posted guards at the door,

00:35:46to watch me 24-7.

00:35:48In the huge mansion,

00:35:49only one housekeeper was left to look after me.

00:35:52I did not resist,

00:35:53and quietly packed my luggage.

00:35:55On the day of the vow ceremony,

00:35:57my communication crystal was returned to me,

00:36:00filled with magical projections Cecilia had sent.

00:36:03Kieran,

00:36:04in formal attire,

00:36:05tenderly placing a ring on Cecilia's finger.

00:36:08Both of them kissing passionately,

00:36:09amid everyone's blessings.

00:36:11Their little family happily cutting a ceremonial bread together.

00:36:15Every projection,

00:36:16was a blade carving deeper into my already broken heart.

00:36:20Every projection,

00:36:21was a blade carving deeper into my already broken heart.

00:36:24Just as I was about to put the crystal away,

00:36:27the door suddenly opened.

00:36:28Lucian stood in the doorway and said,

00:36:30Everything's been arranged.

00:36:32He handed me a ship ticket,

00:36:34and said,

00:36:35I guarantee that once you leave,

00:36:37he'll never find you.

00:36:38I silently took the ticket,

00:36:39and picked up my packed leather trunk.

00:36:41As I walked out of the mansion,

00:36:43the sun was shining.

00:36:44I did not look back,

00:36:45walking toward the carriage waiting by the roadside.

00:36:48I did not say goodbye to Kieran.

00:36:49For the rest of my life,

00:36:51as long as the mountains rise,

00:36:53and the rivers run,

00:36:54we would never meet again.

00:36:57I took a deep breath,

00:36:59and forced myself to keep a calm expression.

00:37:02This is only temporary.

00:37:03Everything I'm doing is for Elise.

00:37:05The altar was already crowded,

00:37:07with werewolf guests wearing traditional attire,

00:37:09their eyes filled with respect for the ancient ritual.

00:37:12Though this was merely a fake wedding,

00:37:14the elders' council had made it grand and solemn.

00:37:17I knew I should step forward to greet my bride,

00:37:19but my legs felt heavy.

00:37:21The alpha and his mate will swear in blood,

00:37:23nourishing the bond and uniting their honor.

00:37:26I looked down at the cold dagger,

00:37:28and reached out,

00:37:29my fingertips trembling slightly.

00:37:31Just as my fingertips were about to touch the dagger,

00:37:33a violent burning pain from deep within my soul,

00:37:36suddenly shot up from my heart.

00:37:38The sudden, soul-deep agony made me jerk my hand back,

00:37:41and I seemed to hear Elise's desperate voice in my ears.

00:37:44Kieran, are you really going to take a blood oath with her?

00:37:47What about me?

00:37:48What do our vows mean?

00:37:49The voice was distant, yet unbearably real.

00:37:54I shook my head and forced myself to calm down.

00:37:57Lucian told me,

00:37:58Elise is waiting for me in the mansion,

00:38:00and she won't go anywhere.

00:38:01Don't scare yourself.

00:38:03Throughout the entire process,

00:38:04I was like a puppet.

00:38:06Now, the alpha may kiss his mate

00:38:08to complete the final step of the vow.

00:38:11Cheers and wolf howls suddenly erupted like a tidal wave.

00:38:14In the crest of the noise,

00:38:15I stiffly lowered my head,

00:38:17moving closer to Cecilia.

00:38:19The ceremony is complete.

00:38:21Congratulations to both of you

00:38:22for becoming mates under the moon goddess's witness.

00:38:25May your bloodline thrive!

00:38:27Beyond the grove,

00:38:28magical flares shot into the sky,

00:38:31exploding in the shape of wolf nuts.

00:38:33The grand ceremony was finally over.

00:38:36After that,

00:38:37I violently tore off the gorgeous ceremonial robes

00:38:40and burst forth with incredible speed,

00:38:42shooting out of the sacred ground at impossible speed.

00:38:45Faster!

00:38:47Faster!

00:38:49Elise!

00:38:50Wait for me!

00:38:51I slammed through the heavy doors

00:38:53in my massive wolf form,

00:38:55charging forward at breakneck speed,

00:38:57leaving destruction in my wake.

00:38:59The moment I shifted back to human form,

00:39:01I sprinted toward Elise's room with desperate urgency.

00:39:04Elise!

00:39:05The ceremony's over!

00:39:06We can leave now!

00:39:07Right now!

00:39:08The next moment,

00:39:09the smile on my face froze.

00:39:10It was empty.

00:39:13The closet hung bare.

00:39:15The vanity sat stripped.

00:39:16Elise!

00:39:19Elise!

00:39:20Panic surged through me.

00:39:22I spun around and tore through the estate,

00:39:24the library, the lounge, even the armor.

00:39:26I grabbed the trembling housekeeper.

00:39:28Where is she?

00:39:30I told you to watch her!

00:39:32I had locked her door,

00:39:33increased the guards,

00:39:35ordered the servants to monitor her every move.

00:39:37A human like Elise couldn't leave packed territory alone.

00:39:40So why was she gone?

00:39:42The housekeeper was too terrified to speak.

00:39:45Lucien emerged from the shadows.

00:39:46Stop looking, Kieran.

00:39:48She's already gone.

00:39:49I whipped around.

00:39:50Gone where?

00:39:51Somewhere you'll never find her.

00:39:52The moonlight vow is done.

00:39:54Focus on being alpha,

00:39:56and stay with Cecilia and your pups.

00:39:57Gone!

00:39:58That sounded absurd.

00:40:00Elise would only leave with me,

00:40:01just as she'd promised.

00:40:03She loved me.

00:40:04She had waited for everything.

00:40:06If she wanted to leave,

00:40:07she would have done it

00:40:08when I agreed to have pups with Cecilia.

00:40:10Did you force her to leave?

00:40:12My alpha aura burst out,

00:40:14making the walls vibrant.

00:40:17I agreed to have pups with Cecilia.

00:40:20I went through the moonlight vow.

00:40:22I gave you everything!

00:40:24Why did you still drive her away?

00:40:27Lucien stepped forward and handed me a letter.

00:40:29We didn't drive her away.

00:40:31She left on her own.

00:40:33Read this.

00:40:34I looked down.

00:40:36On the parchment,

00:40:37in Elise's handwriting,

00:40:38To Kieran.

00:40:39My fingers trembled as I took the letter.

00:40:42The paper tore.

00:40:43Inside was a letter.

00:40:44Her script beautiful and neat.

00:40:46By the time you read this,

00:40:48I'll be gone.

00:40:49You won't find me.

00:40:51I'm leaving because I don't want to wait anymore.

00:40:54First you said you just needed an heir.

00:40:57I believed you.

00:40:58Then Tyra was born,

00:40:59and you said you needed more time.

00:41:01I believed that too.

00:41:03Then you said you needed a son.

00:41:06I tried to believe.

00:41:08But now you're taking a blood oath with her

00:41:10under the moon goddess witness.

00:41:13Kieran, how much longer was I supposed to wait?

00:41:15I'm human.

00:41:16My life is short.

00:41:18I can't endure endless waiting.

00:41:20When the moonlight vow echoed through the sacred grounds,

00:41:23everything between us ended.

00:41:25The mate bond is severed.

00:41:27We will never see each other again.

00:41:30Elise.

00:41:32Only then did I understand.

00:41:34The pain during the vow.

00:41:35My wolf's restless howling

00:41:37had come from the mate bond severing.

00:41:39I destroyed our love with my own hands.

00:41:41I read the letter again.

00:41:42The paper shook in my trembling fingers.

00:41:45A metallic taste surged up my throat.

00:41:48The world twisted and spun.

00:41:50Colors bled away.

00:41:51The floor collapsed in the rest.

00:41:53My entire world plunged into darkness.

00:41:56Alpha Kieran!

00:41:57Get the healer!

00:41:58Now!

00:41:59Overnight, the entire north buzzed with gossip

00:42:01about the wolf family's humiliation.

00:42:03I stood in the destroyed room glaring at Lucian and at Cecilia who clutched Tyra while sobbing.

00:42:09I tightened my grip on the knife against my wrist.

00:42:11Let me go find her or we'll all die together.

00:42:14I still believed Lucian, or Cecilia, had driven Elise away.

00:42:19The moment I woke up, I planned to find her and run away.

00:42:22But the elders drugged me and brought Cecilia and Tyra to convince me to stay.

00:42:26If Elise was still here, I might have hesitated.

00:42:28But now she was gone.

00:42:30So was my weakness.

00:42:32I had nothing to lose.

00:42:35Put the knife down!

00:42:37You're disgracing this pack!

00:42:39Kieran, please, stay for our pups.

00:42:42Everyone pressured me to stay with someone I didn't love.

00:42:45Raised pups born from duty.

00:42:46No one considered my feelings.

00:42:48No one considered Elise's.

00:42:50You've already destroyed me once!

00:42:52I didn't want to sleep with her.

00:42:55You drugged me!

00:42:58I never wanted the pups!

00:42:59My voice trembled with fury.

00:43:02Back then, the elders' council had conspired with Cecilia to drug her.

00:43:05When I woke up, I wanted to strangle her, then kill myself.

00:43:09The elders begged me.

00:43:10We just want an heir.

00:43:12You are the heir we raised for over 20 years!

00:43:16They wouldn't let me run away with Elise without leaving them anything.

00:43:19Even Cecilia knelt in front of me and begged.

00:43:22Kieran, I've loved you for so many years.

00:43:24I've always loved you.

00:43:26Please give me a chance.

00:43:27Her voice trembled as she looked up at him with tear-filled eyes.

00:43:30I'm willing to carry your pup.

00:43:32Once the baby is born, I'll personally help you leave with Elise.

00:43:35I won't stand in your way anymore.

00:43:37Just please accept me.

00:43:39I gave in, but their greed kept growing.

00:43:41After Tyra was born, they demanded a son.

00:43:44They kept forcing me to compromise.

00:43:46Now that I'd finally found freedom, they'd driven Elise away.

00:43:50I couldn't accept it.

00:43:51Suddenly, Cecilia bent over, clutching her stomach.

00:43:55It hurts!

00:43:58Blood stained the white fabric under Cecilia's dress.

00:44:01Quick!

00:44:02Get help!

00:44:03After chaos, the elders rushed the miscarrying Cecilia to the healer's chamber.

00:44:07Cecilia's mother, Helena Graymark, slapped me across the face.

00:44:11Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth, but I stood like a soulless puppet.

00:44:14Mrs. Donati, this was our fault.

00:44:17Once Cecilia recovers, I'll make sure Kian takes care of her.

00:44:20Take care of her.

00:44:21Kian is ready to run off with another woman.

00:44:23Cecilia has sacrificed everything for him.

00:44:25Bore him one pup carrying another, and this is how you treat her?

00:44:28Apologize!

00:44:29Now!

00:44:30I didn't move.

00:44:30I hadn't done anything wrong.

00:44:32Screaming, pleading, chaos all crushing me.

00:44:35Then an angry roar echoed.

00:44:37This is a healer's chamber!

00:44:39Keep it down!

00:44:40The patient is coming out!

00:44:41The healer's chamber doors opened.

00:44:44Cecilia lay on the bed, face pale, magical breathing mask on.

00:44:48She just finished post-partum recovery and is pregnant again.

00:44:52Her body is extremely weak.

00:44:53She needs three months of strict bed rest.

00:44:55If she loses this pup too, it'll be much harder for her to conceive again.

00:44:59The elders' faces fell.

00:45:00They hurried after the healer.

00:45:01The corridor emptied.

00:45:02I snapped back to reality.

00:45:04Elise, I have to find her.

00:45:06I wheeled toward the exit, but Lucian's guards blocked my path.

00:45:10Alpha, you should see your Luna first.

00:45:13Get lost!

00:45:14Sorry, Alpha.

00:45:15If you won't go willingly, we'll escort you.

00:45:18She's carrying your pup.

00:45:20At least see the pup.

00:45:22I froze.

00:45:23Even though I couldn't stand Cecilia, she was carrying my child.

00:45:27Soon, I was wheeled to her isolation chamber.

00:45:30Just as the guard was about to knock, voices drifted out.

00:45:32Mom, your fake misbearage plan was brilliant.

00:45:36It worked perfectly to keep Kian here again.

00:45:39Her voice was slick with calculation.

00:45:41I had never heard her speak like that.

00:45:43Do you think if I make the pups have little accidents from time to time, Kieran will eventually

00:45:48stay for good?

00:45:52Those words slithered into my ears like venom.

00:45:55My entire body went rigid.

00:45:56Bone-deep cold shot up from my feet.

00:45:58The guard quickly stepped aside.

00:46:00Helena's smug voice came from inside.

00:46:03Of course, Elise is gone.

00:46:05But these tricks will keep Kian in your hands.

00:46:08My eyelids twitched.

00:46:10But don't go too far.

00:46:11With Tyra, just give her a little fever.

00:46:13Make her cry.

00:46:14Never poison her or drop her again.

00:46:17And the one in your belly, don't risk too much.

00:46:20Don't worry, I know my limits.

00:46:22But I already promised Kylan I'd let him leave after the ceremony.

00:46:25Even with this fake miscarriage, what about later?

00:46:27He'll still want to find Elise.

00:46:29Relax.

00:46:29I've already worked it out with Elder Lucian.

00:46:31We've sent her far, far away.

00:46:33She'll never come back.

00:46:34Focus on your pregnancy.

00:46:36Once this pup is born, all the wolf family's assets will be yours.

00:46:40Veins bulged on the back of my hands.

00:46:42So that was it.

00:46:43All those times Tyra got sick, I thought it was Elise.

00:46:46It was Cecilia and her roar of blood in my ears.

00:46:50A metallic taste surged into my throat.

00:46:52Lucian approached with a bag of herbs.

00:46:55Kieran, why are you standing there?

00:46:57Why haven't you gone in?

00:46:58He moved to open the door.

00:47:00I never expected your dad to give me a name.

00:47:03But you must fight to marry into the wolf family.

00:47:06Otherwise, your pup will be like you.

00:47:08Born a bastard.

00:47:10Forced to live like a rat in the gutter.

00:47:12He never imagined the mother of the heir he'd adored for years was actually an illegitimate daughter with no status.

00:47:17The wolf family was a century-old dynasty.

00:47:20Every Luna had been born into noble bloodlines.

00:47:23If their Luna was a bastard, they'd be the laughingstock of every pack.

00:47:28Cecilia had been Lucian's carefully chosen candidate from the equally prestigious Donati family.

00:47:33She was beautiful, charming, and had lowered herself to carry my pups before marrying in.

00:47:38Lucian had treasured her.

00:47:39But now?

00:47:40She was worse than Elise's human status.

00:47:45It finally hit us why Cecilia's father, Alpha Orion Donati, hadn't been seen since the ceremony.

00:47:52Lucian burst through the door.

00:47:54You despicable liars!

00:47:56How dare you deceive me!

00:47:59Screams erupted.

00:48:00Things were thrown and smashed.

00:48:02I wheeled inside.

00:48:03Cecilia panicked, tried to get up, collapsed to the floor.

00:48:07She crawled tearfully to my feet.

00:48:08Kieran, let me explain.

00:48:10I never meant to hurt our pups.

00:48:12I did it because I love you.

00:48:14Please don't send me away.

00:48:16Until today, Cecilia had felt blessed.

00:48:19She thought she'd won me over.

00:48:20Gotten to bear children for the man she adored.

00:48:22But now, everything was ruined.

00:48:24I knew the truth.

00:48:26Lucian knew.

00:48:27Soon the entire wolf family would know.

00:48:29Orion had his legitimate wife and daughter.

00:48:32Attending Cecilia's wedding had been his final courtesy.

00:48:35Her only path was to cling to the wolf family.

00:48:37Pups.

00:48:38My voice was cold.

00:48:40In your eyes, they're just tools.

00:48:42What right do you have to mention them?

00:48:45I'll give you 10 million gold coins.

00:48:48Don't ever appear in front of me again.

00:48:51As I turned to leave,

00:48:52Cecilia tried to chase after me.

00:48:56Sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen.

00:48:59She looked down at her dress in disbelief.

00:49:02Warm blood gushed from beneath her gown.

00:49:04No!

00:49:06Another rainy day.

00:49:08After the devastating blow, Lucian was bedridden.

00:49:11I took over the entire wolf family, both the pack and its estates and businesses.

00:49:15While managing the empire, I kept searching for Elise.

00:49:18After one week, exhaustion was etched across my face.

00:49:22Still nothing.

00:49:22The guard stayed silent, lowering his head.

00:49:26Lucian and the elders had finally agreed to let me bring Elise in as my luna.

00:49:30Even without their approval, I would have found Elise and overcome every obstacle to be with her.

00:49:35Now I had the pack's blessing, so I increased the search efforts.

00:49:38But a week passed.

00:49:39Nothing.

00:49:40Lucian had bought Elise a ship ticket to Hindland.

00:49:43But when my people tracked her there, she had never arrived.

00:49:46She had changed ships mid-journey.

00:49:48Then she had boarded a local carriage.

00:49:50Where she went from there, no one knew.

00:49:52The trail had gone cold.

00:49:54Then my assistant, Jacob Terrell, entered.

00:49:57Mr. Wolf.

00:49:58Mr. Narty.

00:49:59Cher has returned.

00:50:00Cher refuses to leave.

00:50:04Ever since the falling out, Cecilia had miscarried, and Helena had fallen seriously ill.

00:50:09Both women's status had plummeted.

00:50:11Jacob walked into my office with a troubled expression.

00:50:14Boss, Cecilia, I ask kneeling in the lobby again with the child.

00:50:17Tyra has been crying through Verenhauer.

00:50:20The guards don't dare drag them away because of the pup.

00:50:23What do you want us to do?

00:50:24Cecilia's tearful voice echoed from the doorway as she shouted toward my office.

00:50:28Karen, please!

00:50:29I know I was wrong!

00:50:31I've learned my lesson!

00:50:32For Tyra's sake, don't abandon us!

00:50:35She's your daughter, too!

00:50:37Stay with us!

00:50:38Just come back!

00:50:39I'll be good!

00:50:41I swear I'll never cause trouble again!

00:50:43Tyra needs her father!

00:50:45I looked at the small figure in her arms.

00:50:47Once, I felt some paternal love for Tyra.

00:50:50But now, all I could think about was how she carried half of Cecilia's blood.

00:50:55She might grow up to be just as malicious as her mother.

00:50:57My last trace of pity completely evaporated.

00:51:00I kept scrolling for news about Elise.

00:51:03When Jacob waited too long and was about to take matters into his own hands, I finally spoke.

00:51:07If you ever dare bother me with this again, you can roll out of here with her.

00:51:12Jacob stiffened and hurried out.

00:51:14Downstairs, Cecilia was still on her knees, holding Tyra.

00:51:17Her face was deathly pale.

00:51:19The pup had cried herself hoarse.

00:51:21Cecilia's eyes were fixed desperately on the Lord's private lift platform.

00:51:26Finally, the elevator moved.

00:51:27It descended.

00:51:28The doors opened.

00:51:29Cecilia scrambled to her feet.

00:51:31Karen!

00:51:32Her hand stopped midair.

00:51:33Her smile froze.

00:51:39Why is it you?

00:51:40Where's Karen?

00:51:42Jacob looked at her blankly.

00:51:44Mrs. Donati, Mr. Weil has made everything clear.

00:51:46Since you enjoy tormenting pups so much, you don't need to raise Tyra anymore.

00:51:51Cecilia's expression changed.

00:51:53She hugged Tyra tighter.

00:51:54What do you mean?

00:51:56Heeled leather boots clicked behind her.

00:51:58Her half-sister, Giselle Donati, snatched Tyra from her arms.

00:52:03Since you can't take care of her, I will.

00:52:06I can't have pups anywhere.

00:52:08I'll raise her like she's my own.

00:52:12No, Donati!

00:52:13She tried to grab Tyra back.

00:52:15Giselle's armed guards knocked her unconscious and dragged her away.

00:52:19Tell Mr. Wolf we've taken her away.

00:52:21She won't be coming back.

00:52:22Also, congratulations on acquiring that field aid in the Northern Territory.

00:52:27Trading land for a pup, an extremely profitable deal for both sides.

00:52:30That was the last mercy I would show the child.

00:52:35News of the major leadership changes in the Northern Pax Wolf family spread quickly.

00:52:40Within just a few days, I caught up on Ciaran and Cecilia's aftermath through parchment scrolls brought by a traveling

00:52:47merchant while hiding out in a small mountain village in neutral territory, working as a teacher.

00:52:52My heart filled with mixed emotions at this outcome.

00:52:56After all, in my memory, even though Ciaran did not love Cecilia, he had still cared for her somewhat for

00:53:02the sake of their two pups.

00:53:04Yet in such a short time, they had reached this kind of ending.

00:53:08Still, none of this concerned me anymore.

00:53:10I had my own life to live now.

00:53:12I pushed the wooden gate open and watered the herbs growing in the yard.

00:53:16When I finished, I set down the watering can and settled onto the wooden bench, gazing peacefully at the orphanage

00:53:23surrounded by mountains.

00:53:24A soft voice suddenly called out from behind me.

00:53:28Miss Eliza, are you looking at the mountains again?

00:53:32Will the big bad wolves from the North come here?

00:53:35The little rabbit-eared girl climbed onto my lap, hugging my arm tightly.

00:53:39Teacher, you look sad today.

00:53:41Did someone bully you?

00:53:43Don't worry, I'll protect you.

00:53:45I smiled and gently stroked her fluffy ears.

00:53:49No one bullied me, Mia.

00:53:51I'm just thinking.

00:53:52Some people's stories have ended, and mine has only just begun.

00:53:58Then will you stay with us forever?

00:54:00Don't leave, okay?

00:54:02We all like you the most.

00:54:04I hugged the little girl closer, feeling the warmth in my chest.

00:54:08Yes, I'll stay.

00:54:12This is my home now.

00:54:18It was currently summer break, so only a few teachers remained to watch over the small facility, and I was

00:54:25one of them.

00:54:26One day, a few new teachers invited me to go up the mountain to gather herbs and mushrooms.

00:54:31On the way, Kelly linked arms with me and chatted excitedly.

00:54:35I heard Mrs. Lott secured another investor from up north.

00:54:39They're coming to inspect next week.

00:54:41Elise?

00:54:42Will you be there to welcome them?

00:54:44I politely declined.

00:54:46I won't be going.

00:54:47I have other things to handle.

00:54:50Oh, Kelly said with some regret.

00:54:52I heard the wolf family air.

00:54:54Alpha Kieran is incredibly handsome and rich.

00:54:59If he's the one coming.

00:55:01I smiled and said nothing.

00:55:02I had worked so hard to move on.

00:55:05I didn't want to see Kieran again.

00:55:07Margaret also tried to persuade me, but I firmly refused.

00:55:10Mrs. Lott, please help cover for me when the time comes.

00:55:14Margaret sighed, but eventually respected my decision.

00:55:19But I never expected to see Kieran again so soon.

00:55:22Late that night, when I finally returned to the orphanage with the other teachers,

00:55:26I immediately spotted Kieran's familiar black carriage bearing the wolf family crest.

00:55:31My heart tightened.

00:55:32As I was about to walk past it, the carriage door opened.

00:55:36The door opened without warning,

00:55:38and the two people who thought they would never see each other again,

00:55:41suddenly came face to face.

00:55:43Time froze at that moment.

00:55:45The earthy smell of rain-soaked soil vanished,

00:55:47and the distant sounds of children playing in the woods disappeared,

00:55:51leaving only the wild beating of Kieran's heart and his rapid breathing.

00:55:56Kieran had not expected to actually see me here either.

00:55:59I looked at Kieran as well,

00:56:01never having imagined I would encounter him here.

00:56:04The moment I saw him,

00:56:05the grief buried deep in my heart surged back up my throat,

00:56:08and memories rewound like sand falling backward in an hourglass,

00:56:13with those painful scenes replaying one by one in my mind.

00:56:17Kieran,

00:56:18why do you still keep coming for me?

00:56:21I want to take you home.

00:56:22He sat across from me,

00:56:24his voice low and hoarse as he finally spoke.

00:56:27I found out the truth about Cecilia.

00:56:29Everything.

00:56:30How she schemed.

00:56:32How she lied.

00:56:33How she tried to destroy you.

00:56:35I saw her true nature with my own eyes.

00:56:36He paused,

00:56:38swallowing hard.

00:56:39I dealt with her.

00:56:40She won't ever appear in front of you again.

00:56:43Tyra,

00:56:43I sent her to a remote pack orphanage.

00:56:46She'll be raised far away from all of this.

00:56:48His eyes reddened,

00:56:49and his voice cracked slightly.

00:56:51The elders and I,

00:56:53we all regret what we did to you.

00:56:54Deeply.

00:56:55We were blind, Elise.

00:56:57I was blind.

00:56:58He reached out as if wanting to touch me,

00:57:01but stopped halfway and clenched his fist.

00:57:03These past months while searching for you,

00:57:06I almost went mad.

00:57:08I couldn't eat.

00:57:09Couldn't sleep.

00:57:10My fingers clutched the parchment

00:57:12that my whole body trembled.

00:57:14It was not relief or grief.

00:57:15It was the sudden, brutal,

00:57:18tearing away of a scar.

00:57:19A truth too long delayed,

00:57:21now ripping open a scab

00:57:22that had never really healed,

00:57:24revealing the festering wound still raw beneath.

00:57:27It was too late.

00:57:28Everything was too late.

00:57:29I had long passed the point

00:57:31of needing the truth exposed,

00:57:32and I no longer needed Ciaran's attempts

00:57:34at reconciliation or his regret.

00:57:37Ciaran, I can't go back with you,

00:57:39and we can't return to how things were.

00:57:41When I saw you being intimate with her,

00:57:43I kept wondering if I was the other woman.

00:57:46No, Elise.

00:57:47You weren't the other woman.

00:57:49You're the person I woman.

00:57:51You're the person I love most.

00:57:53Ciaran repeatedly denied this.

00:57:56He instinctively reached for my hand,

00:57:58but I dodged aside.

00:57:59But that was exactly how it was for me.

00:58:01You had pups with her.

00:58:04Sealed a vow under the moon goddess,

00:58:06and lived like a true pair in every way.

00:58:09To everyone else,

00:58:10she was your mate.

00:58:11So why did you come looking for me?

00:58:13There was already an impossibly wide distance between us

00:58:16that neither of us could cross,

00:58:18and I did not want to try crossing it again.

00:58:21Go back.

00:58:22Ciaran,

00:58:23this isn't where you belong.

00:58:24Thunder rumbled across the horizon.

00:58:26I refused to argue further

00:58:28and turned toward my door.

00:58:30The second I reached my room,

00:58:32torrential rain began pouring outside.

00:58:34However,

00:58:35he still stood motionless in the storm.

00:58:37I frowned

00:58:38and was about to pull the curtains closed

00:58:40when someone began pounding frantically on my door.

00:58:43This is George!

00:58:44Come out quickly!

00:58:46A child is missing!

00:58:49I immediately joined the search.

00:58:51Together with another teacher,

00:58:52Miss Lena,

00:58:53we hurried through the heavy rain

00:58:55toward the missing boy Elliot's home.

00:58:57The downpour was so heavy

00:58:58we could barely see the path ahead.

00:59:00Suddenly,

00:59:01distant rumbling sounds echoed

00:59:03from the mountain valley.

00:59:04Miss Lena grabbed my arm,

00:59:05her voice shaking.

00:59:06Elise!

00:59:07Did you hear that?

00:59:09That's sound!

00:59:13It's a landslide!

00:59:14We have to turn back!

00:59:15I clenched my teeth and kept running.

00:59:17We can't!

00:59:19Elliot is still there!

00:59:21We're almost at his house!

00:59:23We have to get him!

00:59:24We exchanged terrified glances

00:59:26but pushed forward,

00:59:27running faster.

00:59:28Sure enough,

00:59:30we found the trembling Elliot

00:59:31hiding under the bed,

00:59:32clutching a pile of toys

00:59:34that belonged to his late mother.

00:59:35No!

00:59:36I don't want to go!

00:59:38My mum's still here!

00:59:40I'm not leaving without her toys!

00:59:43Tears streamed down his small face

00:59:45as he hugged the toys tighter.

00:59:47Elliot,

00:59:48listen to me.

00:59:49I promise I'll bring

00:59:51every single one

00:59:52of your mum's toys back safely.

00:59:54But right now,

00:59:55you have to go with Miss Lena.

00:59:57It's dangerous here!

00:59:59You swear?

01:00:00You really promise?

01:00:01I swear!

01:00:03Now go!

01:00:04I quickly handed him to Miss Lena.

01:00:06Take him and run!

01:00:07Don't stop until you reach high ground!

01:00:09After they disappeared into the rain,

01:00:12I grabbed a sack

01:00:13and frantically stuffed all the toys inside.

01:00:16Just as I slung the heavy bag over my shoulder,

01:00:19the rumbling turned into a deafening roar.

01:00:21The landslide exploded through the window

01:00:23in a surge of mud, rock and debris.

01:00:27Time froze.

01:00:28Terror gripped me.

01:00:29My vision was filled only with that murky thick sludge,

01:00:32mixed with broken wood and debris.

01:00:35It roared as it pulled over the windowsill,

01:00:37like the gates of hell opening wide.

01:00:39The putrid, earthy stench

01:00:41instantly flooded my nostrils.

01:00:43My mind went blank.

01:00:47I slumped helplessly against the wall,

01:00:50watching the wave of death crash toward me.

01:00:52Just then,

01:00:53a massive white wolf burst through the churning mud encase,

01:00:57lunging straight at me.

01:00:59My eyes flew wide open.

01:01:01Kieran, what are you?

01:01:03The moment he charged in,

01:01:04his golden wolf eyes locked onto me with fierce intensity.

01:01:08Kieran, deep, urgent growl threw mind link.

01:01:11Hold on tight, don't let go.

01:01:12With a deep growl,

01:01:13he lowered his head

01:01:15and slammed his powerful shoulder into my stomach,

01:01:17lifting me clean off the ground.

01:01:19The world spun as he tossed me

01:01:21across his broad back like lugging.

01:01:23Tyrant, wait!

01:01:24He barreled toward the wooden door

01:01:26that led to the slope beyond,

01:01:28and smashed through it with bone-rattling force.

01:01:34The door shattered,

01:01:36but a sickening crack followed.

01:01:38Kieran's entire body jolted violently.

01:01:40A muffled, pained groan

01:01:42tore from between his clenched teeth.

01:01:44I froze in horror and looked down.

01:01:47My heart seemed to stop.

01:01:48A jagged wooden shard from the broken frame

01:01:51had pierced deep into his right side.

01:01:53Kieran, oh God, no, you're hurt!

01:01:56My hands scrambled desperately to the wound.

01:01:59Hot, sticky blood instantly soaked my palms.

01:02:02Put me down, Kieran, please!

01:02:04You're bleeding too much!

01:02:06Stop!

01:02:07I pressed hard against the gash,

01:02:08but nothing could stop the steady rush of crimson

01:02:11pouring out between my fingers.

01:02:12Yet Kieran acted as if the pain did not exist.

01:02:15He kept charging up the steep slope,

01:02:17powerful muscles straining beneath me.

01:02:19Hold on.

01:02:21Don't let go.

01:02:23I'm getting you out of here.

01:02:24The overwhelming mudslide roared behind us,

01:02:27sweeping up trees and boulders like they were nothing,

01:02:29chasing us relentlessly.

01:02:31Kieran, you're going to die like this!

01:02:33Please stop!

01:02:34I can run on my own!

01:02:35Kieran!

01:02:36Kieran!

01:02:37He didn't answer.

01:02:38His breathing grew heavier,

01:02:40but his pace never slowed.

01:02:41I didn't know how long it lasted.

01:02:43But finally,

01:02:44the deafening roar of the landslide

01:02:46faded into the distance.

01:02:51We were safe,

01:02:52or so I thought.

01:02:54Suddenly,

01:02:54the world tilted again.

01:02:56Kieran,

01:02:57who had been carrying me,

01:02:58could no longer hold on.

01:02:59His massive body collapsed heavily toward the ground,

01:03:02but he still carefully protected me in his embrace.

01:03:07Kieran!

01:03:09Just then,

01:03:10I heard the sharp roar of a rescue horn echo in the distance.

01:03:13I tore off my cloak and waved it frantically.

01:03:16Soon after,

01:03:16Kieran and I were rushed by carriage to the nearest infirmary.

01:03:19Kieran was rushed straight to the healer's emergency room.

01:03:23After signing all the forms,

01:03:24exhaustion and shock finally hit me.

01:03:27Everything went black.

01:03:28When I came to,

01:03:30it was already the next day.

01:03:31The healer's apprentice looked at me with a heavy sigh and said,

01:03:35The treatment was a complete success,

01:03:36but due to massive blood loss and an old condition,

01:03:40Kieran has fallen into a coma.

01:03:42He might wake up tomorrow,

01:03:43or he might never wake up at all.

01:03:45My knees buckled.

01:03:47I covered my mouth as tears instantly spilled down my face.

01:03:50No matter what had happened between us,

01:03:52he had saved my life.

01:03:54I pushed open the door to his room and sat beside his bed,

01:03:57staring at his unconscious face.

01:04:01On the third day,

01:04:02Lucian arrived.

01:04:03He looked exhausted,

01:04:04and for the first time bowed his head,

01:04:07apologizing before handing me a worn journal.

01:04:09After you left,

01:04:10Kieran recorded in this with a quill

01:04:12every single day.

01:04:14He wanted to show it to you himself.

01:04:17I slowly opened the journal.

01:04:18Wolf calendar year 818,

01:04:20month of thaw.

01:04:21Today,

01:04:22Elise and I made it official.

01:04:23This journal is her first gift to me.

01:04:25I'm so happy.

01:04:27I'll treasure her,

01:04:28and I'll never let her down.

01:04:30For the next three years,

01:04:31every page overflowed with his deep love for me.

01:04:34Then the entries stopped after the elders threatened mass suicide.

01:04:37Two pages were torn through with massive letters.

01:04:40The journal stayed blank for a year and a half.

01:04:43The final entries were written after he came looking for me.

01:04:46Elise, I'm so sorry.

01:04:47I kept asking you to wait just a little longer.

01:04:49At first I thought I could finish it quickly,

01:04:52but after Tyra was born,

01:04:53my heart started changing.

01:04:55I got soft again and again.

01:04:56Every moment of weakness turned into knives stabbing your heart.

01:05:00If I hadn't given in that day,

01:05:02we could have married,

01:05:03had pups of our own,

01:05:04and traveled anywhere you wanted.

01:05:06But I know it's too late now.

01:05:08I closed the journal.

01:05:10Medical staff wheeled Kieran out on a gurney.

01:05:13Lucian planned to take him north for better treatment.

01:05:16I handed the journal back to Lucian with steady hands.

01:05:19If he ever wakes up,

01:05:20please tell him that everything from the past ends here.

01:05:23From now on,

01:05:25we're like two parallel lines that will never cross again.

01:05:28Elise,

01:05:30are you really sure?

01:05:31After everything he did for you in the landslide?

01:05:33I'm sure.

01:05:34My voice was calm and firm,

01:05:36though my throat felt tight.

01:05:38Tell him he doesn't owe me anything anymore.

01:05:40We're even now.

01:05:42This is goodbye.

01:05:43Without another glance at Lucian or the unconscious Kieran,

01:05:46I turned and walked firmly in the opposite direction.

01:05:50I was ready to start my new life.

01:05:52This was our final goodbye.

01:05:54We would never see each other again.

01:05:57Three months had passed since that day.

01:06:00I thought I had finally buried the past in this quiet mountain village.

01:06:03The children's laughter filled my days,

01:06:06and the simple rhythm of grading parchment scrolls under a dim oil lamp

01:06:10brought me a fragile peace.

01:06:12Until that stormy night,

01:06:14frantic knocking shattered the silence.

01:06:17Before I could answer,

01:06:18the door burst open with a violent bang.

01:06:20A tall, blood-soaked figure stumbled in Kieran.

01:06:24His healer's linen tunic hung in tatters,

01:06:27bandages across his chest already soaked crimson.

01:06:30Rain and blood streaked his face.

01:06:31Those once-familiar golden eyes,

01:06:33now wild and bloodshot,

01:06:35locked onto me.

01:06:36Kieran.

01:06:36He didn't speak.

01:06:37He staggered forward and dropped heavily to his knees,

01:06:41forehead slamming against the wooden floor with a dull thud.

01:06:44I'm sorry.

01:06:46Elise.

01:06:47His voice was raw, broken,

01:06:48repeating over and over,

01:06:50as tears mixed with rain and blood dripped onto my feet.

01:06:53I stood frozen,

01:06:55ice spreading through my veins.

01:06:59He crawled forward on his knees

01:07:00and clutched the hem of my dress like a dying man,

01:07:03his burning forehead pressed against my legs.

01:07:05I woke up,

01:07:07and the first thing I thought of was you.

01:07:09I read the journal,

01:07:11every word.

01:07:12His voice cracked.

01:07:13I was wrong.

01:07:15I should have chosen you from the beginning.

01:07:17I should have fought the elders,

01:07:18the whole pack,

01:07:19everything.

01:07:19I never should have made you suffer alone.

01:07:21Come back with me.

01:07:23I disbanded the council.

01:07:24Sevillea and Tyre are gone.

01:07:25There's nothing between us anymore.

01:07:27I'll give you everything.

01:07:28My title,

01:07:28my power,

01:07:29my life.

01:07:29Just don't leave me.

01:07:31Please.

01:07:31My heart twisted painfully as his blood soaked through my dress.

01:07:35I tried to step back,

01:07:37but he rose abruptly and crushed me into his arms.

01:07:40His kiss was fierce,

01:07:42tasting of blood,

01:07:43rain,

01:07:43and desperate regret.

01:07:45He pressed me against the wall,

01:07:47body burning and trembling.

01:07:49I love you,

01:07:50Elise,

01:07:50more than my own life.

01:07:52If you won't forgive me,

01:07:52kill me right here.

01:07:53Tear out my heart.

01:07:54I'd rather die by your hand than live without you.

01:07:57I pushed him away with all my strength,

01:07:59my voice shaking but resolute.

01:08:01Kieran Wolf,

01:08:02I once loved you enough to die for you,

01:08:04but you killed that love,

01:08:06piece by piece.

01:08:08Every time you chose them over me,

01:08:10every broken promise,

01:08:11every night I waited in pain.

01:08:13It died slowly.

01:08:14He staggered back,

01:08:15face deathly pale,

01:08:16blood seeping from reopened wounds.

01:08:19I don't hate you anymore,

01:08:21I whispered,

01:08:22but I will never go back to you.

01:08:24Silence swallowed the room,

01:08:26broken only by rain.

01:08:27He knelt again,

01:08:28pressing his forehead to the floor.

01:08:30Then let me stay here.

01:08:31Let me guard you from afar.

01:08:34Even if you never look at me again,

01:08:36I only ask to love you for the rest of my life,

01:08:39even if it's one-sided.

01:08:41He raised his bloodied hand

01:08:42and swore fiercely under the moon goddess.

01:08:46I didn't let him stay.

01:08:48That night,

01:08:48after he left,

01:08:49I packed what little I had

01:08:51and slipped away from the village before dawn.

01:08:53I changed my name,

01:08:55moved to a distant city,

01:08:56and built a new life

01:08:57where no one knew about werewolves,

01:08:59alphas,

01:09:00or broken mates.

01:09:01I never saw Kieran again.

01:09:03I made sure of it.

01:09:06Years passed.

01:09:07One rainy autumn evening,

01:09:09a letter arrived from the north.

01:09:11It was from an old pack member.

01:09:14Kieran had been diagnosed with a rare,

01:09:16aggressive cancer

01:09:17that even his alpha blood couldn't fight.

01:09:20He refused every treatment

01:09:21that would keep him alive longer

01:09:23if it meant leaving the village.

01:09:24He stayed there, waiting.

01:09:26He died quietly at dawn,

01:09:28alone in the same mountain cabin

01:09:30where he had once knelt before me.

01:09:32In his arms,

01:09:33they found a worn photograph of me,

01:09:34the only one he had kept.

01:09:36His fingers were still curled gently around it,

01:09:38as if even in death he couldn't let go.

01:09:41I read the letter once,

01:09:42then burned it.

01:09:44I didn't cry.

01:09:46I had already cried all my tears for him years ago.

01:09:49Some love,

01:09:50no matter how deep,

01:09:51can only end in silence.

01:09:54Perhaps this was the mercy we both had.
