Transcript

00:00:02I married Alpha Evan out of gratitude.

00:00:06For three years, I guarded his pack.

00:00:09Yet Evan never loved me.

00:00:11He marked my sister before the whole pack.

00:00:14Everyone thought my sister was the pureblood Luna.

00:00:17Evan blamed me for being infertile.

00:00:19You're a freak.

00:00:21Everyone mocked the golden-eyed freak,

00:00:23never knowing I was the true Luna heir.

00:00:26When the truth comes out,

00:00:28they will be shocked.

00:00:30Three years since I married Alpha Evan,

00:00:32Alpha Joseph's son.

00:00:33Alpha Joseph died shortly after I married Alpha Evan,

00:00:36and I kept my promise.

00:00:37As long as I remain within his territory,

00:00:39my Luna power automatically forms a protective barrier,

00:00:42warding off all invading rogue werewolves.

00:00:44I love Evan with all my heart

00:00:46and have given everything for him.

00:00:47Yet I have never managed to melt his cold heart.

00:00:50His heart has always belonged to my younger sister, Selina.

00:00:53Even after Selina abandoned him cruelly long ago,

00:00:56he still clings to memories of her.

00:00:57For three years, I wrapped the entire pack in my Luna barrier,

00:01:01blocking every wave of rogue attacks.

00:01:03I loved him silently, yielded to him every night,

00:01:06and waited patiently for his mark.

00:01:08One day, after our intimacy,

00:01:10I cling to a faint hope.

00:01:12Evan, I've stayed by your side for three years.

00:01:15Won't you give me the mate mark I've always longed for?

00:01:18Three years and you still can't conceive an heir.

00:01:21You're nothing but a freak with golden eyes.

00:01:23How dare you even beg for my mark?

00:01:25A useless freak?

00:01:27Who do you think has been shielding your pack in silence all these years?

00:01:32Shield my pack.

00:01:33Don't make me laugh.

00:01:34Your wolf power isn't even half as strong as Selina's.

00:01:37A cursed golden-eyed outpiece like you could never hold a candle to her.

00:01:40Stop deluding yourself.

00:01:41Evan leaves without looking back.

00:01:43He saw me as nothing more than a worthless golden-eyed freak,

00:01:46unworthy of his mark,

00:01:48unworthy of a place by his side.

00:01:50He assumed I was weak and decile,

00:01:53too dependent on this pack to ever leave.

00:01:56But his cold indifference killed every last bit of affection in my heart.

00:02:01Luna, Alpha Evan has instructed you to get ready.

00:02:04You are to attend the marking banquet the main mansion tonight.

00:02:07Here is the banquet gown prepared for you.

00:02:09A glimmer of fragile hope stirred in my heart.

00:02:12Perhaps he had only spoken harshly earlier,

00:02:14intending to give me a surprise to finally acknowledge me and bestow his mark upon me.

00:02:19When I stepped into the main hall,

00:02:22champagne roses bloomed everywhere,

00:02:24and a huge banner reading Welcome Pack hung on the wall.

00:02:28Then I saw him,

00:02:29when I stepped into the main hall,

00:02:31my mate,

00:02:32my Alpha,

00:02:33holding someone else in his arm,

00:02:36my sister Selina.

00:02:38Let me make an announcement to everyone here.

00:02:41Today,

00:02:42I will place my exclusive mark upon my one and only mate,

00:02:46Selina.

00:02:48My heart didn't just break.

00:02:50It plunged to a frozen abyss,

00:02:52shattering into a million jagged spards of ice.

00:02:55If he is marking her,

00:02:57if he is claiming my sister in front of the world,

00:03:00then what am I?

00:03:05The second the words left his lips,

00:03:07I froze on the spot.

00:03:08The roses blooming all through the hall were the very romance I'd never dared to dream of.

00:03:13The grand Welcome Pack banner hanging overhead mocked every foolish hope I'd clung to only moments before.

00:03:19Evan led Selina forward to a stop.

00:03:22Her gown was cut in the exact same style as mine,

00:03:25yet hers was encrust with diamonds,

00:03:27far more lavish by comparison.

00:03:29Evan had humiliated me on purpose,

00:03:31dressing me in an identical design but of far poorer quality.

00:03:35Selina put on a soft, gentle front and spoke to me in fake sweetness.

00:03:38Dear sister,

00:03:40thank you for coming all this way to witness my marking ceremony.

00:03:44I kept my eyes locked on Evan,

00:03:45my voice shaking with held back emotion.

00:03:48Why her?

00:03:49I've sacrificed so much for you.

00:03:51I stayed loyal by your side for three whole years.

00:03:55What good are all your sacrifices?

00:03:57Those eerie eyes of yours repel me,

00:03:59and you can't even bear airs for the pack.

00:04:02You were never half as good as Selina,

00:04:04not then,

00:04:04not now.

00:04:05Evan lifted his hand,

00:04:07brushing it lightly along Selina's neck,

00:04:09then bowed his head to leave his claiming mark on her slowly and tenderly.

00:04:13When the mark was fully set,

00:04:15he slowly raised his eyes,

00:04:17scanning the bustling crowd before his gaze locked firmly on mine.

00:04:20Cheers and applause burst out across the hall at once,

00:04:23loud blessings ringing through the air,

00:04:25yet every sound sliced right through my heart like a sharp knife.

00:04:28One of the pack elders stepped up onto the dace.

00:04:31He swept his gaze over the crowd,

00:04:32his tone grave and agmatic.

00:04:33As many of you know,

00:04:34our pack has long kept a secret.

00:04:36Among us lives a she-wolf who carries the rare pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:04:40The question we all wonder is this,

00:04:42who could she be?

00:04:46The pack members broke into quiet murmurs,

00:04:49all guessing who the she-wolf with hidden pure-blood Luna lineage might be.

00:04:53Amid the buzzing whispers,

00:04:54Charlotte, Evan's mother,

00:04:55and the pack's reigning Luna rose slowly from her grand ornate throne atop the dace,

00:04:59carrying herself with unbridled arrogance and authority.

00:05:02There's no need for pointless speculation.

00:05:04It can only be Selina.

00:05:06She boasts exceptional wolf talent and immense innate power.

00:05:10I have always known she is the fated one.

00:05:13I never thought Joseph would act recklessly

00:05:15and force Evan into a marriage with Isabella.

00:05:17A smug smile tugged at Selina's lips.

00:05:20She gave a slight, polite bow.

00:05:22Thank you for your kind praise and recognition, Luna Charlotte.

00:05:25I stepped forward before I could stop myself,

00:05:28holding her gaze straight.

00:05:32What gives you such certainty that it must be Selina?

00:05:35Charlotte let out a mocking laugh,

00:05:36as if I'd told the most absurd joke imaginable.

00:05:39She raked her eyes over me coldly, full of contempt.

00:05:41Could it possibly be you?

00:05:43A freak with unnatural golden eyes, good for nothing.

00:05:47Do you truly think you are worthy of possessing the noble pureblood Luna lineage?

00:05:52Stop indulging in foolish fantasies.

00:05:55The second her words fell,

00:05:56the whole hall erupted in mocking laughter,

00:05:59thick with scorn and disdain.

00:06:01I turned to Evan,

00:06:03clinging to a faint hope that he would stand up for me,

00:06:05that he would grant me even the smallest bit of fairness.

00:06:08But Evan made no move to defend me at all.

00:06:12His expression turned icy instead.

00:06:14His voice laced with revulsion.

00:06:16You would do best to leave the ceremony of your own accord.

00:06:19Staying here will only bring you further shame

00:06:22and make a public fool of yourself.

00:06:25If you refuse to go,

00:06:27you may tend to the guests in the kitchen

00:06:29and keep to yourself quietly.

00:06:34Evan's cold, dismissive words cut straight through me,

00:06:37sharp and biting to the bone.

00:06:39Every eye in the room lingered only on Selina,

00:06:42bright with anticipation.

00:06:43It was as if everyone already took it for granted,

00:06:46that her so-called Luna divine power would lead Evan's pack to new prosperity.

00:06:51I'd borne endless humiliation for far too long,

00:06:54endured endless scorn and mockery from those around me.

00:06:57All the grief and resentment I'd kept locked inside finally spilled over.

00:07:01The true bearer of the pure-blood Luna Tinergy is not...

00:07:04Selina.

00:07:06It has always been me.

00:07:08The hall burst into mocking laughter once again.

00:07:11Charlotte doubled over, clutching her stomach,

00:07:13mocking me without restraint.

00:07:15Evan and Selina shared a disdainful smirk,

00:07:18dismissing my words as ridiculous ravings.

00:07:22Have you lost your senses?

00:07:25How dare a golden-eyed freak like you

00:07:28claim the pure-blood Luna lineage for yourself?

00:07:33Evan's brows drew tight,

00:07:35his tone sharp and unforgiving.

00:07:38Isabella,

00:07:38are you spouting nonsense out of jealousy now that I've marked Selina?

00:07:43Stop making a fool of yourself.

00:07:45No one in the room believed a word I said.

00:07:47Their jails pricked my heart like a thousand needles.

00:07:50Staring at their hypocritical, ugly faces,

00:07:53I only felt cold amusement

00:07:55and chose not to explain myself any further.

00:07:57When I fell quiet,

00:07:58the crowd quickly lost interest in me,

00:08:00turning their full attention back to Selina.

00:08:02Evan slipped an arm around her waist,

00:08:04his fingers brushing lightly over the fresh mark on her neck.

00:08:07From this day forward,

00:08:09Selina's Luna divine power will shield our pack

00:08:11and keep us safe and at peace.

00:08:17When she saw I still hadn't moved an inch,

00:08:19the smug look on Selina's face faded a little,

00:08:22replaced by impatience and haughty condescension in her tone.

00:08:26Dear sister,

00:08:27if you know what's best for yourself,

00:08:29gather your things and leave for home at once.

00:08:32Father is waiting for you there.

00:08:34Don't linger here and ruin everyone's celebration.

00:08:36I stood perfectly still,

00:08:38my expression unchanging,

00:08:40merely staring back at her with quiet indifference.

00:08:42I am keeping my oath to Alpha Joseph

00:08:44by remaining here to watch over Evan's pack.

00:08:47I will not leave

00:08:48until my three-year vow is fulfilled.

00:08:51The smile on Selina's face frozen instantly,

00:08:53then twisted into a cold, calculating smirk.

00:08:55She stepped half a step nearer and lowered her voice,

00:08:58letting only me hear her words.

00:09:00A vow?

00:09:02Sister, you're far too naive.

00:09:04Evan's pack has never needed your protection,

00:09:06nor will it ever accept a golden-eyed freak like you.

00:09:09Today, I'll make sure you're driven out of this place for good.

00:09:12The moment she finished speaking,

00:09:13she lurched backwards suddenly,

00:09:15her legs giving way as she crumpled heavily to the floor.

00:09:17She pressed her hands to the corners of her eyes

00:09:19and raised her voice sharply,

00:09:21letting it ring out across the entire hall.

00:09:23Sister, I know you're jealous of me,

00:09:25but you have no right to push me like this.

00:09:28I hadn't shifted a single step from where I stood.

00:09:31The cheering in the hall died away in an instant.

00:09:34Every pair of eyes fixed on us both

00:09:36filled with disdain, accusation,

00:09:37and the cold dislatchment of onlookers

00:09:39ready to watch a spectacle unfold.

00:09:41Evan rushed over at once,

00:09:42lifting Selina gently into his arms

00:09:44and holding her close in a protective embrace.

00:09:46He shot me an icy glare,

00:09:48rage blazing in his eyes.

00:09:50Isabella, you've crossed every line.

00:09:53From this day on,

00:09:53I formally disavow you and cast you out of the pack.

00:09:56You are forbidden from ever stepping foot

00:09:58on our territory for the rest of your life.

00:10:03I stayed rooted to the spot

00:10:05as Evan glared at me like he could kill with his eyes,

00:10:08the air between us turning icy cold.

00:10:10I didn't hurt Selina.

00:10:12She fell on her own.

00:10:14Evan leaned down to strope Selina's back gently,

00:10:16then looked up again,

00:10:18his rage so intense

00:10:19it felt like it could burn me to the ground.

00:10:21Do you really think I'd believe the lies

00:10:23of a golden-eyed freak like you?

00:10:25Selina just got my mark,

00:10:26and she's still weak.

00:10:28How dare you touch her?

00:10:29Charlotte stepped up beside Evan,

00:10:31her eyes dripping with even more disdain,

00:10:33her voice sharp enough to cut.

00:10:36Isabella, you still won't admit what you did.

00:10:39Your excuses only make you more disgusting.

00:10:41A filthy creature like you

00:10:43belong locked up in the dungeon.

00:10:44Evan pulled Selina behind him,

00:10:47unleashing his overwhelming alpha aura in a heartbeat.

00:10:50I see pressure washing over the entire hall.

00:10:52He started the formal mate rejection

00:10:54right there in front of everyone.

00:10:56No trace of regret in his eyes,

00:10:57only pure coldness and contempt.

00:10:59I, Evan, reject you as my mate.

00:11:01I lifted my eyes to meet his gaze,

00:11:03my voice as calm as a frozen lake.

00:11:05I accept your rejection.

00:11:07The mate bond snapped suddenly,

00:11:09a searing, tearing pain

00:11:10shooting through every part of my body.

00:11:11The agony of the bond breaking hit first,

00:11:13and then tears slipped silently down my cheeks.

00:11:15The mate bond that had held us together for three years

00:11:18was breaking apart,

00:11:19fading little by little,

00:11:20each piece throbbing with a dull ache.

00:11:22But none of that pain came close

00:11:23to the cold emptiness in my chest.

00:11:25I curled my fingers tight,

00:11:26nails digging deep into my palms,

00:11:28forcing myself to bear the searing agony.

00:11:30You can't bear airs.

00:11:31The worst shame an alpha could ever face.

00:11:34Selima's nothing like you.

00:11:36She carries the pure-blood Luna lineage,

00:11:39and only she's worthy of standing by my side,

00:11:42bearing my strongest pups,

00:11:43and leading the pack to greater glory.

00:11:48Selima leaned comfortably in Evan's arms,

00:11:50her eyes glinting with a taunting edge,

00:11:53as she stared at my disheveled state.

00:11:56Sister, why are you still standing here?

00:11:59If I were you,

00:12:00I'd hurry up and pack my things to leave.

00:12:03Don't linger here being a bother,

00:12:04watching them throw jabs back and forth,

00:12:07their contempt plain as day.

00:12:08My mind wandered back to a memory from long ago,

00:12:11of being rescued.

00:12:12Out on the frozen plains,

00:12:14caught in wind and snow,

00:12:15I lay wounded and gave me a second chance.

00:12:17It was Joseph he told me I carried

00:12:19an extremely rare pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:12:22Later, on his deathbed,

00:12:23he held my hand tight,

00:12:26his gaze earnest,

00:12:27as he begged me to protect Evan and his pack

00:12:29with everything I had.

00:12:31Joseph, look at what's become of us.

00:12:32For three years,

00:12:34I've guarded your pack faithfully,

00:12:36warding off rogue attacks this entire time.

00:12:38I've even quietly nourished the pack lands

00:12:40with my Luna energy,

00:12:41making them stronger and more thriving

00:12:43with each passing day.

00:12:44Yet now,

00:12:45your own son chases me away.

00:12:47I've seen his true colors clearly.

00:12:49He's never been worth my protection.

00:12:51In that moment,

00:12:52the last bit of gratitude I'd felt

00:12:53for Joseph vanished completely.

00:12:55I'd kept my promise,

00:12:57and my debt was paid in full.

00:12:59Evan,

00:12:59after these three years,

00:13:01I owe you nothing,

00:13:02and I owe your pack nothing either.

00:13:04I only hope you never come to regret this day.

00:13:07Evan let out a scoff of disbelief,

00:13:10looking away from me in disgust,

00:13:11his tone again in dismissal.

00:13:13Regret?

00:13:14Cutting loose a burden like you

00:13:16is the smartest thing I've ever done.

00:13:17Now get out of my sight.

00:13:19Now.

00:13:20The mate bond shattered entirely,

00:13:21not a single thread of connection

00:13:23left between us.

00:13:24Just then,

00:13:24Evan's brows fronted sharply,

00:13:26his alpha aura tensing up in an instant.

00:13:28Many pack members looked up too,

00:13:30their expressions on edge.

00:13:31A faint yet thick rustling sound

00:13:32drifted from the edge of the manor,

00:13:34low and menacing.

00:13:35It was the sound of rogues closing in,

00:13:37hundreds of miles away

00:13:39and closing fast.

00:13:42Little did they know,

00:13:43with me reject and cast out,

00:13:45my all-encompassing

00:13:46Luna protection barrier

00:13:47had vanished,

00:13:49completely.

00:13:49The feral rogues I'd held back,

00:13:51kept at bay for three long years,

00:13:54were now charging straight

00:13:55for their borders in droves.

00:13:57And now that I'm gone,

00:13:59how will a weak alpha,

00:14:01paired with a fake mate

00:14:02who has no true Luna power at all,

00:14:04defend this pack

00:14:05against thousands

00:14:06of bloodthirsty rogues?

00:14:11Get to the pack perimeter now

00:14:12and check out that noise.

00:14:14Waste any time,

00:14:15and you'll pay with your lives.

00:14:17Yes, sir.

00:14:21You're scared, Evan.

00:14:22This is what happens

00:14:23when you reject me.

00:14:24The rogues are closing in.

00:14:25Spare me your empty threats

00:14:27and delusional garbage.

00:14:28I formerly banished you.

00:14:29Know your place and leave.

00:14:31My pack hasn't seen a rogue in years.

00:14:32Do you really think

00:14:33you can curse us?

00:14:34You're just spouting nonsense

00:14:35out of spite for being cast aside,

00:14:37trying to stir up trouble.

00:14:38Exactly.

00:14:39Isabella,

00:14:40you can't stand being thrown out,

00:14:41so you want to curse our pack?

00:14:43I see your true colors now.

00:14:44You're cruel to the core.

00:14:45If the rogues really come,

00:14:47you'll be the first one they grab.

00:14:49Let's see who's there

00:14:50to protect you then.

00:14:51Watching their hypocritical,

00:14:52colliding faces,

00:14:53I felt nothing but cold amusement.

00:14:55There was no point

00:14:56in wasting another word on them.

00:14:57I'd kept my promise,

00:14:58settled all scores.

00:14:59No reason to linger

00:15:00in this repulsive place any longer,

00:15:02putting up with their

00:15:03endless mockery and disdain.

00:15:05But the second I took a step to leave,

00:15:07Charlotte rushed over

00:15:08and cut me off.

00:15:09Hold it right there.

00:15:10You're not going anywhere.

00:15:14Isabella,

00:15:14Evans formally marked Selina,

00:15:16and the pack's true Luna

00:15:17is now in her rightful place.

00:15:18It's time you hand over that emblem.

00:15:20This sacred treasure,

00:15:21a symbol of the pack's glory,

00:15:22has no business resting

00:15:23on a freak like you.

00:15:25Exactly.

00:15:26Such a precious relic

00:15:27can't be tainted

00:15:28by someone unworthy.

00:15:29It belongs to me,

00:15:30the one who carries

00:15:31the pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:15:33Lady Luna Charlotte,

00:15:34I can feel the power

00:15:35in this emblem calling to me.

00:15:36Could it be,

00:15:37is the hidden pure-blood Luna lineage

00:15:39inside me finally waking up?

00:15:41Do you really believe

00:15:42that's what's happening, Selina?

00:15:44It has to be true.

00:15:45Only a noble,

00:15:46pure silver-eyed werewolf

00:15:47is worthy of wearing this emblem.

00:15:49Not like some outscat

00:15:51who's clung to a sacred relic

00:15:52for years,

00:15:53can't even bear an heir

00:15:54and wastes its power

00:15:55for nothing.

00:16:18Only those with true Luna blood

00:16:20can bear this emblem.

00:16:21A fake like you

00:16:22will never be worthy of it.

00:16:27Isabella,

00:16:28did you do this?

00:16:29Did you use witchcraft

00:16:30to control the alim

00:16:31and hurt me on purpose?

00:16:33You cruel bitch!

00:16:34You just can't stand

00:16:35to see me happy!

00:16:38Isabella,

00:16:39you've gone too far.

00:16:40Pushing her wasn't enough,

00:16:42so you stooped

00:16:43to dirty tricks

00:16:43with dark witchcraft

00:16:44to hurt her again?

00:16:45How low can you get?

00:16:47His voice held a desperate urgency

00:16:49I'd never heard from him before.

00:16:51His fingers brushed gently

00:16:53around the burning wound

00:16:54on Selina's chest,

00:16:55his touch impossibly tender

00:16:56and careful.

00:16:57The very tenderness

00:16:59I'd stayed by his side

00:17:00for three years,

00:17:01craving,

00:17:01yet never once getting.

00:17:03I'd never sink that low.

00:17:04I'd never degrade myself

00:17:05by using such vile garbage

00:17:07as witchcraft.

00:17:08I finally got it.

00:17:09It wasn't that

00:17:09he couldn't be tender,

00:17:10it was just that

00:17:11his tenderly

00:17:11was never meant for me.

00:17:13Why?

00:17:15You wore this emblem

00:17:16for three years

00:17:17and never had a single problem.

00:17:18Why does it hurt Selina

00:17:19the second she touches it?

00:17:21Could it be...

00:17:23Could you be the real

00:17:24pure-blood Luna after all?

00:17:30Everyone froze,

00:17:31their eyes turning straight to me,

00:17:32filled with shock,

00:17:33doubt,

00:17:33and utter disbelief.

00:17:35No,

00:17:36it can't be.

00:17:37Evan,

00:17:38she only grew used

00:17:39to the emblem's aura

00:17:40from wearing it for so long.

00:17:41She is never the true

00:17:43pure-blood Luna heir.

00:17:44She must have cast witchcraft

00:17:46on the emblem beforehand

00:17:47to hurt me on purpose.

00:17:51Evan,

00:17:51do not let your mind wander.

00:17:53It is all Isabella's doing.

00:17:55Out of jealousy

00:17:56towards Selina,

00:17:57she schemed in secret,

00:17:58making the emblem

00:17:59harm Selina

00:17:59to confuse everyone's judgment.

00:18:02This outcast

00:18:03has a vicious heart.

00:18:07Do you really think

00:18:08I'd believe

00:18:09some golden-eyed freak

00:18:09is the true Luna heir?

00:18:11Ridiculous.

00:18:12You're just a petty,

00:18:13useless outcast

00:18:13begging for a title

00:18:14you don't deserve.

00:18:15Now get out

00:18:16and don't dare tarnish

00:18:16them Selina with your presence.

00:18:18Stop loitering here

00:18:18and getting in the way.

00:18:19Leave the main packhouse

00:18:20at once

00:18:21and never show your face

00:18:21to us again.

00:18:23Listening to these

00:18:23absurdly absurd accusations,

00:18:25I finally let out

00:18:26a cold laugh.

00:18:27There was no warmth

00:18:28in it at all.

00:18:29Carry all the forbearance

00:18:30and heartbreak

00:18:30of these three years.

00:18:36I walked out of the main packhouse

00:18:38step by step.

00:18:39Three years of protection

00:18:40had only earned me betrayal,

00:18:41blame,

00:18:42and banishment.

00:18:43Even the last trace of hope

00:18:45in my heart

00:18:45was completely shattered.

00:18:47I pushed open the door

00:18:48to my home.

00:18:49Live room done

00:18:49was dent.

00:18:50And my father Marcus

00:18:51sat on the sofa

00:18:52with a cigarette

00:18:53between his fingers,

00:18:54undisguised mockery

00:18:55in his eyes.

00:18:56He lifted his gaze to me

00:18:58at the sound of footsteps.

00:18:59What happened?

00:19:00Driven back in disgrace

00:19:01after Evan broke

00:19:02your mate bond?

00:19:03I always knew a freak

00:19:05with strange eyes

00:19:05like you could never

00:19:06hold an alpha's heart,

00:19:07nor deserve the position

00:19:08of Luna.

00:19:09He took a good drag

00:19:10from his cigarette

00:19:10and exhaled the smoke slowly.

00:19:12Fortunately,

00:19:13I have two daughters.

00:19:14Selina is far more promising

00:19:16than you.

00:19:16Now that Evan has marked her,

00:19:18she will soon become

00:19:19the pack's Luna

00:19:20and bring me endless glory.

00:19:21Unlike you,

00:19:22born with those

00:19:23unlucky golden eyes,

00:19:24never able to succeed

00:19:25at anything since childhood.

00:19:26When I was young,

00:19:27Selina was always

00:19:28the only one seen

00:19:29on the pack training grounds.

00:19:30Father claimed silver eyes

00:19:32stood for pure lineage,

00:19:33and only Selina

00:19:34deserved formal training.

00:19:35I could only hide

00:19:36in the corner,

00:19:37watching them laugh

00:19:38and rejoice.

00:19:38I possessed the very power

00:19:40they valued,

00:19:41yet no one ever taught me

00:19:42how to wield it.

00:19:42With time,

00:19:43everyone came to see me

00:19:44as a powerless,

00:19:45useless nobody.

00:19:46Not even my father

00:19:47had ever truly looked

00:19:48at me with kindness.

00:19:49Marcus stood up

00:19:50and walked before me,

00:19:51looking down at me

00:19:52from above.

00:19:53There was no trace

00:19:54of fatherly affection

00:19:54in his eyes,

00:19:55only cold calculation.

00:19:57Now that Evan

00:19:57has cast you aside,

00:19:58you have no more use left.

00:20:00I raised you

00:20:01all these years.

00:20:01I cannot keep

00:20:02feeding you for nothing.

00:20:03I have sold you

00:20:04to a crude,

00:20:05low-rank werewolf

00:20:06from the black market.

00:20:07Though he is poor

00:20:08and unculturated,

00:20:09he is willing to borrow

00:20:10a large sump to buy you.

00:20:13Father,

00:20:14what are you saying?

00:20:15Sell me?

00:20:16I refuse.

00:20:18Refuse?

00:20:18What right do you have?

00:20:20You cannot even

00:20:21bear children.

00:20:22Not qualified enough

00:20:23to be a breeder.

00:20:24What good are you

00:20:25besides being sold off?

00:20:28Father,

00:20:29selling someone

00:20:30of my lineage

00:20:31will bring you

00:20:31retribution.

00:20:33Retribution?

00:20:34All I know is keeping

00:20:35you is a waste of food.

00:20:36Selling you brings

00:20:37real profit.

00:20:37Where is any retribution?

00:20:38I clenched my fists,

00:20:39my voice shaking

00:20:40with a screed and defiance

00:20:41as I met his gaze directly.

00:20:42Part of the money

00:20:43from selling you

00:20:43to buy Selena

00:20:44top-class gown.

00:20:45Dressed in fine luxury,

00:20:46Evan will love her

00:20:47even more.

00:20:47To buy a dress for Selena,

00:20:49to win her Evan's affection.

00:20:50My own father was willing

00:20:51to cast me straight

00:20:52into hell.

00:20:52He called out

00:20:53toward the door

00:20:54and two tall pack members

00:20:55stepped inside.

00:20:56Seize her and lock her

00:20:56in a cage.

00:20:57Do not let her escape.

00:20:58Deliver her to the black market

00:20:59at dawn morrow.

00:21:00They grabbed my arms roughly.

00:21:01Grip so tight it felt

00:21:02as though they would

00:21:02crush my bones.

00:21:03I struggled in vain

00:21:04and shock faded

00:21:05completely into icy despair

00:21:07in my heart.

00:21:07In the store room,

00:21:08a cold iron cage

00:21:09already waited.

00:21:10They shoved me inside

00:21:11and slammed the lock shut.

00:21:13The faint golden glow

00:21:14in my eyes grew brighter.

00:21:15I held the strength

00:21:16of a pure-blood Luna,

00:21:18yet I was treated

00:21:18as worthless cargo

00:21:19to be sold off,

00:21:21never given the chance

00:21:21to unleash my power.

00:21:23Dawn had barely broken

00:21:24when footsteps echoed outside.

00:21:25I lifted my head

00:21:26to see Evan standing

00:21:27at the storage room entrance

00:21:28with Selena in his arms.

00:21:29Selena stepped forward

00:21:30to peer through the iron bars,

00:21:31her tone dripping

00:21:32with feigned sympathy

00:21:33and hypocrisy.

00:21:33Sister,

00:21:34I have no choice.

00:21:35It is father's decision.

00:21:37I tried to persuade him,

00:21:38but he would not listen.

00:21:39Just resign yourself

00:21:40to being a slave.

00:21:41I will serve well

00:21:42as the Pax Luna

00:21:43from now on,

00:21:44solidify my position

00:21:45and live up

00:21:45to everyone's expectations.

00:21:47Marrying you

00:21:47in the first place

00:21:48was nothing but

00:21:48my father's momentary foolishness,

00:21:50foolish enough

00:21:51to treasure an outcast like you.

00:21:52Looking back,

00:21:53breaking our mate bond in time

00:21:54was the wisest choice

00:21:55I ever made.

00:21:55With that,

00:21:56he turned to Selena beside him

00:21:58and stroked her hair gently,

00:21:59the very tenderness

00:22:00I had longed

00:22:01for countless times.

00:22:02Yet in this moment,

00:22:04watching the scene unfold,

00:22:05I felt nothing at all.

00:22:06No sorrow,

00:22:08no resentment,

00:22:09only utter emptiness

00:22:10and calm.

00:22:10My three years of devotion

00:22:12had long worn away

00:22:13under his endless cruelty

00:22:14and prejudice.

00:22:15I even found it laughable

00:22:16that I had once held

00:22:17any hope

00:22:18for such a cold,

00:22:19selfish man.

00:22:20Evan lowered his head

00:22:21to brush her hair fondly

00:22:22and was about to speak.

00:22:23The Pax member

00:22:24rushed inside in a panic,

00:22:25his voice trembling.

00:22:26Alpha Evan,

00:22:27disaster.

00:22:28Several Pax members

00:22:29have been found dead

00:22:29at the territory border,

00:22:31their bodies reeking

00:22:31of strong rogue scent.

00:22:33The tenderness on Evan's face

00:22:34vanished in an instant.

00:22:35His expression turned taut,

00:22:37filled with disbelief.

00:22:38What?

00:22:39Rogues?

00:22:39No rogues have ever

00:22:40come near our borders

00:22:41in three years.

00:22:42How could our people

00:22:43be killed all of a sudden?

00:22:44He frowned deeply,

00:22:45his gaze slowly falling on me

00:22:47as he looked me up and down.

00:22:48A flicker of doubt

00:22:49and disbelief

00:22:50crossed his eyes,

00:22:51his tone tentative.

00:22:52Could it be

00:22:54the reason no rogues

00:22:55drew near all these years

00:22:56was because of you?

00:22:58Was that the real reason

00:22:59my father Joseph

00:23:00insisted you stay by my side?

00:23:03The moment Selena heard this,

00:23:05she clung tightly

00:23:05to Evan's arm,

00:23:06eager to quiet his doubts

00:23:07and turn all blame onto me.

00:23:09Evan, do not entertain

00:23:10such foolish thoughts.

00:23:11How could it ever be her?

00:23:13She is nothing but a useless freak

00:23:14with strange eyes.

00:23:16What great power

00:23:17could she possibly possess?

00:23:19She must hold a grudge

00:23:20after you rejected her

00:23:21and father sold her away.

00:23:23She lured the rogues here

00:23:24on purpose

00:23:25to get revenge

00:23:25and destroy our pack.

00:23:27The doubt in his eyes

00:23:28faded completely,

00:23:29replaced by deeper loathing

00:23:30and rage.

00:23:31You are right.

00:23:31How could I ever believe

00:23:32an outcast holds

00:23:33such great power?

00:23:34It was you who lured

00:23:35the rogues here

00:23:35out of spite,

00:23:36getting our own people killed.

00:23:37His voice turned icy

00:23:38and killing intact

00:23:39blazed in his eyes.

00:23:41I am heading to deal

00:23:42with the murders

00:23:42at the border now.

00:23:44I will settle this score

00:23:45with you when I return.

00:23:46Selling you to the black market

00:23:48is far too lenient.

00:23:49By rights,

00:23:50a vicious outwrit like you

00:23:51deserves hanging

00:23:52to comfort the souls

00:23:52of the fallen pack members.

00:23:54With that,

00:23:54he did not spare me

00:23:55another glance.

00:23:56Wrapping an arm

00:23:57around Selena's waist,

00:23:58he turned and left quickly,

00:23:59his footsteps fading away,

00:24:01leaving me alone

00:24:02in the cold iron cage.

00:24:03I curled up on the cage floor

00:24:04and stared toward the door.

00:24:06Evan,

00:24:07you will regret this.

00:24:08Before long,

00:24:09two pack members

00:24:09hurried over.

00:24:10They roughly unlocked the cage,

00:24:12grabbed my arms,

00:24:12and dragged me out

00:24:13of the storage room,

00:24:14shoving me into

00:24:15an old transport vehicle.

00:24:16After an endless ride,

00:24:17the vehicle finally

00:24:18came to a stop,

00:24:19and the door swung open,

00:24:20flooding the space

00:24:21with harsh sunlight.

00:24:22I was dragged out

00:24:23and thrown onto the ground.

00:24:25This place was the black market

00:24:26for low-rank werewolf trades,

00:24:28filled with females

00:24:28sold as breeders,

00:24:29outcasts auctioned off

00:24:30as slaves,

00:24:31every face etched

00:24:32with numbness and despair.

00:24:33I had no idea

00:24:34who would buy me next,

00:24:35nor what cruel fate

00:24:36awaited me.

00:24:38Two pack members

00:24:39pressed down hard

00:24:40on my shoulders,

00:24:41forcing me forward

00:24:42unsteadily.

00:24:43Soon they stopped

00:24:43and pushed me

00:24:44before a man.

00:24:45Sebastian,

00:24:46we have brought

00:24:46the girl to you.

00:24:47Marcus instructed us

00:24:48to hand her over personally.

00:24:49The man lifted

00:24:50his eyes slightly,

00:24:51saying nothing at first,

00:24:52only looking me over

00:24:53with a cold,

00:24:54emotionless expression.

00:24:55He wore rough,

00:24:56tattered clothes

00:24:56faded from wear

00:24:57with several tears

00:24:58here and there.

00:24:58Yet his frame was broad

00:24:59and powerful,

00:25:00his shoulders as solid

00:25:01as a wall,

00:25:01his features were sharp

00:25:02and stern,

00:25:03his jawline tight

00:25:03with shovel lining his jaw.

00:25:05A wild,

00:25:05unapproachable aura

00:25:06clung to him,

00:25:07giving him a down-broughten

00:25:08yet dominazing air.

00:25:09Rest assured,

00:25:10she is untouched.

00:25:12Only she failed

00:25:13to bear an air

00:25:14for Alpha Evan.

00:25:15Be quiet.

00:25:18His voice was deep

00:25:19and horsey

00:25:19with a rough edge,

00:25:20impatience clear

00:25:21in his tone.

00:25:22The pack member

00:25:22flinched in fright,

00:25:24bowed quickly

00:25:24and retreated.

00:25:25Only the two of us

00:25:26remained.

00:25:27He said nothing,

00:25:28simply looking down

00:25:28at me with an unnerving calm.

00:25:30No greed,

00:25:31no judgment,

00:25:31only unyielding dominance.

00:25:33Let go of me!

00:25:35Sebastian glanced down

00:25:36at my reddened wrist,

00:25:37loosening his grip slightly

00:25:38yet still refusing

00:25:39to release me.

00:25:40Save your words,

00:25:41just come with me.

00:25:43Up close,

00:25:44I saw his eyes

00:25:45held unfathomable depth,

00:25:46hiding a quiet restraint

00:25:47and an innate nobility

00:25:49beneath his rough exterior.

00:25:50Even in ragged clothes

00:25:51covered in dust,

00:25:52his hidden sharp aroma

00:25:53could not be concealed.

00:25:55Somehow,

00:25:55the moment he touched

00:25:56my wrist,

00:25:57the werewolf's

00:25:58spiritual power

00:25:59inside me

00:25:59stirred restlessly.

00:26:01Heat spread

00:26:02through my veins

00:26:03to every corner

00:26:03of my body,

00:26:04making my breath

00:26:05quick up uncontrollably.

00:26:09The wolf inside me

00:26:10roared wildly,

00:26:11its cry echoing

00:26:12clearly and urgently

00:26:13in my heart.

00:26:14I pushed down

00:26:15the swirling confusion

00:26:16and flutter in my chest

00:26:17and followed him

00:26:18silently forward,

00:26:19uncertain of what

00:26:20lay ahead.

00:26:21The car traveled

00:26:21for a long time

00:26:22before finally stopping

00:26:23outside a plain wooden cottage.

00:26:24It was not large,

00:26:26even simple in design,

00:26:27yet spotlessly clean.

00:26:28Even the weeds

00:26:29in the yard

00:26:29were neatly trimmed.

00:26:30A stark contrast

00:26:31to his rough

00:26:31hawked around to my side

00:26:33and steadabled me gently.

00:26:34His touch was soft

00:26:35and restrained,

00:26:36nothing like his

00:26:36brusque manner earlier.

00:26:38I looked up at him,

00:26:39my confusion deepening.

00:26:41All that roughness

00:26:42and coldness

00:26:42had truly been nothing

00:26:43but a mask he wore

00:26:44at the black market.

00:26:45Beneath it lay

00:26:46unexpected gentleness,

00:26:47leaving me utterly

00:26:48unable to read him.

00:26:50I followed him inside.

00:26:51The furnishings

00:26:52were simple,

00:26:53only a wooden sofa,

00:26:54a dining table,

00:26:54and two closed doors.

00:26:56Yet everything

00:26:56was immaculate

00:26:57and orderly,

00:26:58the table polished

00:26:59bright enough

00:26:59to see one's reflection.

00:27:00It was clear

00:27:01the place was carefully tended.

00:27:02I stood frozen,

00:27:03thinking to myself,

00:27:04now that he has bought me

00:27:06from the black market,

00:27:07I am his property

00:27:08after all.

00:27:09I ought to learn

00:27:10to wait on him

00:27:11and tend to his needs.

00:27:13Let me take your coat

00:27:14for you.

00:27:15It is covered in dust.

00:27:17No need.

00:27:18The moment my fingertips

00:27:19brushed the hem

00:27:20of his coat,

00:27:21Sebastian stepped back

00:27:22intinctively,

00:27:23evading my touch.

00:27:25I pulled my hand back,

00:27:26a trace of disappointment

00:27:27settling in my heart,

00:27:29unable to understand

00:27:30why he treated me

00:27:31with such cold distance.

00:27:35I...

00:27:36I want to do something

00:27:37for you.

00:27:38I can't idle around

00:27:39all day.

00:27:40Sebastian glanced up

00:27:41at me,

00:27:42his tone cold

00:27:43and distant.

00:27:44There's nothing

00:27:44you need to do.

00:27:46Just stay by my side

00:27:47at night.

00:27:48I've already arranged

00:27:48a maid to look after you.

00:27:50My heart sank immediately.

00:27:51We were bound by blood,

00:27:52faded mates,

00:27:53yet he only saw me

00:27:54as someone to warm his bed

00:27:55and satisfy his desires.

00:27:56He treated me even worse

00:27:57than Evan ever did.

00:27:58Just then,

00:27:59a slim young girl

00:28:00stepped out of one

00:28:01of the rooms.

00:28:01She had sharp,

00:28:02unrigally eyes

00:28:03and her hair tied

00:28:03in a neat ponytail.

00:28:04The moment she laid eyes

00:28:05on me,

00:28:06her expression turned icy.

00:28:07She frowned openly,

00:28:08looking unimpressed,

00:28:09her voice edged

00:28:10with sarcasm.

00:28:11Brother,

00:28:11is this the girl

00:28:12you tried so hard to buy?

00:28:13She looks plain,

00:28:15skinny,

00:28:16and those golden eyes

00:28:17are a freak.

00:28:19What's so special about her

00:28:20that you'd go all out?

00:28:23Ella,

00:28:25watch your tone.

00:28:26Ella pouted,

00:28:27shot me a sharp glare,

00:28:29said nothing else,

00:28:30then turned

00:28:31and slammed her door shut,

00:28:32clearly resentful.

00:28:36At that moment,

00:28:37maid Clara walked over

00:28:38with a glass of water.

00:28:39She stopped as soon

00:28:40as she saw me

00:28:41and gave a respectful,

00:28:42slight bow.

00:28:44Miss,

00:28:44my name is Clara.

00:28:47I'll be your maid

00:28:49and take care

00:28:49of your daily needs.

00:28:51For the next week,

00:28:52Sebastian left early

00:28:53and returned late.

00:28:55Every night,

00:28:56he would be intimate

00:28:57with me,

00:28:58possessive,

00:28:58yet always keeping

00:28:59an emotional distance.

00:29:02Could it be that

00:29:03in his eyes,

00:29:03I would never be worth

00:29:04genuine care,

00:29:05never worthy of being

00:29:07his rightful mate?

00:29:10Lately,

00:29:11my werewolf powers

00:29:12had been acting strange.

00:29:14My monthly spiritual cycle

00:29:16was long overdue.

00:29:17Sebastian remained secretive,

00:29:19never letting anyone know

00:29:21where he went

00:29:22during the day.

00:29:23His nightly closeness

00:29:24felt deliberately detached.

00:29:27The huge wooden house

00:29:29always felt empty

00:29:30without him,

00:29:31loneliness coiling around me

00:29:33like creeping vines.

00:29:34Restless,

00:29:35I turned on the Pac News channel.

00:29:37One news report

00:29:38made me race felt

00:29:39made me freeze on the spot.

00:29:41Reporter,

00:29:42Marcus of the Blood Moon Tac

00:29:43died mysteriously

00:29:44at home last week.

00:29:46No visible wounds

00:29:47were found on his body

00:29:48and the cause of death

00:29:49remains unknown.

00:29:50Alpha Evan has ordered

00:29:51a full investigation

00:29:53with no new leads

00:29:54released so far.

00:29:55I stared at Marcus'

00:29:56photo on screen,

00:29:58tightening my grip

00:29:58on the remote.

00:29:59I felt a twinge

00:30:00of conflict inside,

00:30:02but mostly quiet relief.

00:30:05Father,

00:30:05you brought this

00:30:06on yourself.

00:30:07You sold me off

00:30:08like merchandise-y

00:30:09without a second thought,

00:30:10ignored me completely,

00:30:12and treated Selena

00:30:13and me nothing alike.

00:30:14What happened to you now

00:30:16is your own fault.

00:30:17No one else is to blame.

00:30:19Right after I spoke,

00:30:21a wave of sudden nausea

00:30:22rushed up my throat.

00:30:24I clamped a hand

00:30:25over my mouth

00:30:26and rushed to the bathroom,

00:30:27throwing up,

00:30:28feeling weak all over.

00:30:29Clara happened to bring fruit by

00:30:31and hurried over

00:30:32to steady me.

00:30:34Miss,

00:30:34are you all right?

00:30:35You look unwell.

00:30:36I'll go fetch a healer

00:30:37right away.

00:30:38Please hold on.

00:30:39I nodded weakly.

00:30:41Soon,

00:30:42Clara returned

00:30:43with a werewolf physician.

00:30:45There's no need to worry.

00:30:46You're perfectly healthy physically.

00:30:48The nausea,

00:30:48vomiting,

00:30:49and unstable spiritual energy

00:30:50are all symptoms

00:30:51of pregnancy.

00:30:52I stared at the physician

00:30:54in shock.

00:30:55The woman Evan mocked

00:30:56as Berend,

00:30:57the one my own father

00:30:58dismissed as unfit

00:30:59to bear offspring,

00:31:00was now carrying a child.

00:31:04My mind was in chaos.

00:31:05I tried reaching Sebastian

00:31:07through the werewolf mind link,

00:31:08hoping to tell him quietly

00:31:09I was pregnant.

00:31:11But no matter how

00:31:12I sent my thoughts,

00:31:13there was only silence

00:31:14from his side.

00:31:14No reply at all.

00:31:19I was growing anxious

00:31:20when a messenger

00:31:21from werewolf academy

00:31:22arrived at the door,

00:31:24clearly flustered.

00:31:28Is Mr. Sebastian home?

00:31:30Miss Ella got into a fight

00:31:31at the youth training camp

00:31:32and hurt another student.

00:31:33The school is asking

00:31:34for a family member

00:31:35to come sort this out immediately.

00:31:37Sebastian was still

00:31:38nowhere to be found,

00:31:38and the mind link

00:31:40still wouldn't connect.

00:31:41I was the one he'd bought

00:31:42at the black market.

00:31:43With no one else available,

00:31:44I had no choice

00:31:46but to go in his place

00:31:47and settle the dispute

00:31:48at the academy.

00:31:52Werewolf academy

00:31:53stood on neutral land,

00:31:54independent of any pack,

00:31:56where young werewolves

00:31:57from all clans

00:31:58came to train and study.

00:32:00I drove to the academy alone.

00:32:03In the distance,

00:32:04I saw Ella being lectured

00:32:05by a middle-aged woman

00:32:06whose back was turned to me.

00:32:09Ella and another boy

00:32:10were called into

00:32:11the dean's office.

00:32:13I walked over to speak

00:32:14to the woman.

00:32:14There's no need

00:32:15to embarrass a pup like this.

00:32:17We can talk this over calmly.

00:32:18When I got a clear look

00:32:19at her face,

00:32:20I realized it was

00:32:20Evan's aunt, Martha.

00:32:22Martha looked me

00:32:23up and down slowly.

00:32:24Her gaze full of contempt,

00:32:26her tone sharp and cutting.

00:32:27Well, look who decided

00:32:28to show up.

00:32:29Kicked out of your pack,

00:32:31sold to the black market

00:32:32by your own father,

00:32:33and now you live

00:32:33like a nobody.

00:32:36How dare you meddle

00:32:38in our family's business.

00:32:41I met her gaze without an ounce

00:32:43of timeliness.

00:32:44My life is none of your business.

00:32:46Even after being sold,

00:32:48I'm restooped as low as you,

00:32:49landing onto your pack power,

00:32:51bullying the weak

00:32:52and picking on a pup in public.

00:32:54Martha's face turned dark,

00:32:56firing back without remorse.

00:32:58Me bullying her?

00:33:00Ella started it.

00:33:01She attacked my son Jack first.

00:33:04Am I allowed to discipline her?

00:33:07I knew very well Jack

00:33:08had always been arrogant

00:33:09and dominant in Evan's territory,

00:33:12always picking on the weaker students

00:33:14and never stayed out of trouble.

00:33:16Ella is quiet by nature

00:33:17and never picks fights

00:33:18for no reason.

00:33:19She only lashed out

00:33:21because your son mocked

00:33:22and provoked her first.

00:33:24Left lost for words

00:33:25by my reply,

00:33:26Martha flew into a rage,

00:33:28dropping all pretend

00:33:29of politeness

00:33:30and raising her hand

00:33:31to slap me.

00:33:33I blocked her instinctively.

00:33:35The moment our hands touched,

00:33:37a powerful and invisible

00:33:39divine force

00:33:40purged out of me,

00:33:41pinning her rigid in place,

00:33:43unable to move a muscle.

00:33:45I was stunned myself,

00:33:48never expecting

00:33:48to suddenly awaken such power.

00:33:51Deep inside me,

00:33:52my wolf spirit spoke.

00:33:54Mistress,

00:33:55it is your pregnancy.

00:33:56The life growing inside you

00:33:58has fully awakened

00:33:59your dormant ancient

00:34:00lunar bloodline.

00:34:01Your divine power

00:34:02will only grow stronger

00:34:03from here on.

00:34:06I stood there

00:34:07completely dumbfounded.

00:34:11Trapped by my power,

00:34:13Martha stared at me

00:34:14in utter disbelief.

00:34:16What?

00:34:17You've never had

00:34:18formal werewolf training?

00:34:20A discarded outcast

00:34:22sold at the black market.

00:34:24How can...

00:34:26How can you wield

00:34:27such powerful divine magic?

00:34:31Just then,

00:34:32a cold familiar voice

00:34:33came from behind me.

00:34:34I turned slowly

00:34:36to see Evan walking toward me.

00:34:38Selina clung tightly

00:34:39to his side,

00:34:40dressed in an elegant gown

00:34:41with perfect makeup,

00:34:42her eyes glinting

00:34:43with quiet amusement

00:34:44at the scene.

00:34:45Evan fixed me

00:34:46with a cold stern look.

00:34:47Isabella,

00:34:49you've grown far too bold.

00:34:51How dare you lay hands

00:34:53on my aunt?

00:34:54You've lost all sense

00:34:55of manners and decency.

00:34:58Our mate bond

00:34:58was broken long ago.

00:35:00We have nothing

00:35:00left between us.

00:35:02Martha has always

00:35:03treated me with malice

00:35:04and scorn

00:35:04and now she bullies

00:35:05a pup unjustly.

00:35:06I owe her

00:35:07no respect whatsoever.

00:35:08Evan scanned

00:35:08my plain simple clothes

00:35:10from head to toe,

00:35:11his eyes filled

00:35:12with disdain.

00:35:14After being sold

00:35:15to the black market,

00:35:15you've become crude

00:35:16and reckless.

00:35:17Your manners are gone,

00:35:19you're dressed plain

00:35:19and shabby.

00:35:20Not a trace

00:35:21of your old poise remains.

00:35:22Beside him,

00:35:24Selina put on

00:35:24a soft, gentle act,

00:35:26pretending to mediate

00:35:27while secretly

00:35:28stirring up trouble.

00:35:29Evan,

00:35:30don't let this upset you.

00:35:31Sister has fallen

00:35:32so far now.

00:35:34Her judgment

00:35:34and grace

00:35:35are long gone.

00:35:36There's no need

00:35:37to argue with her.

00:35:38Evan frowned,

00:35:39stepping aside

00:35:39to avoid the crowd's gaze,

00:35:40then spoke to me

00:35:41in a low voice.

00:35:42Come with me,

00:35:42I need to talk

00:35:43to you privately.

00:35:45I followed him aside,

00:35:47growing impatient,

00:35:48wondering what he wanted now.

00:35:49Instead of answering

00:35:50right away,

00:35:51he leaned in

00:35:52and breathed

00:35:52in the scent

00:35:53of my hair.

00:35:53I've missed you

00:35:54a lot lately.

00:35:55His eyes lingered

00:35:56greedily on my neck

00:35:57as his hand

00:35:58drifted restlessly

00:35:59to my waist.

00:36:00I turned my head

00:36:01away to avoid him.

00:36:02Isabella,

00:36:03I miss being with you.

00:36:05Being with Selina,

00:36:06it's nothing

00:36:07compared to you.

00:36:08He almost sounded wronged,

00:36:09as if I owed him something.

00:36:10Then his tone

00:36:10turned cold

00:36:11as he mentioned

00:36:11the man who'd bought me,

00:36:12seething with jealousy

00:36:13at the thought of me

00:36:14belonging to a rough nobody.

00:36:16He stepped closer

00:36:16and lowered his voice.

00:36:17Come back and be my mistress.

00:36:18I'll give you mansions,

00:36:19jewels,

00:36:20silk gowns.

00:36:21Everything Selina has,

00:36:22you'll have.

00:36:23And more.

00:36:24I looked at his desperate,

00:36:25prideful act

00:36:26and suddenly laughed.

00:36:29Even if he had nothing at all,

00:36:32he's still better than you.

00:36:33That one sentence

00:36:34made his face burn red,

00:36:35as if I'd slapped him in public.

00:36:38I'd struck his fragile ego,

00:36:40thin as eggshell.

00:36:41Just then,

00:36:42Selina walked over

00:36:43from a distance,

00:36:44eyeing us suspiciously

00:36:45and asking what we were

00:36:46talking about.

00:36:47I shook my head

00:36:49and said nothing,

00:36:49but as several

00:36:50werewolves walked past,

00:36:51I deliberately raised my voice.

00:36:53There's something

00:36:53everyone should know.

00:36:54Evan

00:36:55is infertile.

00:37:00Evan spun around,

00:37:01glaring at me sharply.

00:37:02His wolf pupils slitted

00:37:03with rage and embarrassment,

00:37:05his face draining of color.

00:37:06The passing werewolves

00:37:07stopped and watched,

00:37:08whispering and slurkering,

00:37:10their mocking eyes

00:37:11burning into Evan.

00:37:12Selina froze on the spot,

00:37:14her smile fading instantly.

00:37:15She stared at Evan

00:37:17in shock and doubt,

00:37:18studying his flustered

00:37:19expression closely.

00:37:21I stayed calm and composed,

00:37:23gently placing one hand

00:37:25over my stomach,

00:37:26my tone steady

00:37:27and unyielding.

00:37:28I'm pregnant.

00:37:30You're delirious.

00:37:32There's no way

00:37:33you could be pregnant.

00:37:34I looked on indifferently,

00:37:35no longer bothering

00:37:36to explain myself.

00:37:37Believe it or not,

00:37:40I don't owe anyone

00:37:41an explanation.

00:37:42Martha stepped forward

00:37:43at once with a sneer.

00:37:44Pregnant or not,

00:37:45it's still just some

00:37:47low-class,

00:37:48werewolf's bastard child.

00:37:50Selina quickly agreed,

00:37:52her tone sharp

00:37:53and full of scorn.

00:37:55Exactly.

00:37:56Nothing to be proud of.

00:37:58She reeks of

00:37:58common werewolf aura.

00:38:02I leaned forward slightly,

00:38:04breathing in subtly

00:38:05when near the three of them,

00:38:06my voice thick

00:38:07with mockery and certainty.

00:38:08No matter my place now,

00:38:10I'm still better

00:38:11than the three of you.

00:38:12You all reek

00:38:12of rogue stench.

00:38:13Your pack is already

00:38:15overrun by rogue raids,

00:38:16barely holding itself together.

00:38:18Yet you still come

00:38:19to this neutral school

00:38:20to bully others

00:38:21and stir up trouble.

00:38:22My words hit Evan

00:38:23right where it hurt.

00:38:25I'd seen pack news

00:38:26long before now,

00:38:28reporting his territory

00:38:30plagued by constant

00:38:31rogue attacks,

00:38:32leaving him stressed

00:38:33and sleepless.

00:38:35Evan paled instantly,

00:38:38his anger mixing

00:38:39with panic

00:38:39as he snapped back

00:38:41harshly.

00:38:43That's a lie!

00:38:45Don't spread rumors!

00:38:48My pack is perfectly safe.

00:38:54And no rogue troubles at all.

00:38:58Martha and Selina

00:38:59also paled,

00:39:00avoiding eye contact nervously,

00:39:02subtly suppressing their era

00:39:03to hide the rogue scent

00:39:04clinging to them.

00:39:05The onlooking werewolves

00:39:06began murmuring,

00:39:07looking at the three

00:39:07with obvious suspicion.

00:39:09Just then,

00:39:09the Academy's Elder Dean

00:39:10hurried over

00:39:11with a stern expression,

00:39:12raising a hand

00:39:13to quiet the crowd.

00:39:14That's enough!

00:39:15This is neutral Academy ground.

00:39:17No quarreling or disruption

00:39:18of student training

00:39:20will be tolerated.

00:39:21Ella and Jack

00:39:22were led out

00:39:22by school staff.

00:39:23Jack had faint

00:39:25scratch marks

00:39:25on his face.

00:39:26Ella kept her head down,

00:39:28her stubborn spirit

00:39:29clear as ever.

00:39:30I turned to Ella,

00:39:31softening my tone

00:39:32as I asked gently,

00:39:33Ella,

00:39:34what really made you

00:39:35fight Jack?

00:39:38I looked at Ella,

00:39:39her eyes red

00:39:40yet still forcing herself

00:39:42to stay strong,

00:39:43stubborn by nature.

00:39:44She rarely showed

00:39:45vulnerability,

00:39:46but now she could not

00:39:47hide her hurt,

00:39:49biting her lip

00:39:49to hold back her tears.

00:39:51Ella lifted her head sharply,

00:39:52her voice trembling

00:39:53yet firm.

00:39:56He started it first!

00:39:58Jack mocked me

00:39:59in front of everyone,

00:40:00said I didn't belong

00:40:01in the training camp,

00:40:02and called Brother Sebastian

00:40:04a nobody

00:40:05with no real power.

00:40:06Jack looked utterly

00:40:07unconvinced

00:40:08and fired back at once.

00:40:12It's the truth.

00:40:15I didn't make

00:40:15any of it up.

00:40:16Ella grew emotional,

00:40:18raising her voice.

00:40:19He even tugged

00:40:20at my wolf fur

00:40:21and shoved me

00:40:21against the wall.

00:40:23He pointed right

00:40:24at my face

00:40:25and called Sister

00:40:25a golden-eyed freak

00:40:26who couldn't bear pups,

00:40:28said you deserve

00:40:29being sold away.

00:40:31I held back

00:40:32again and again,

00:40:33but he just kept

00:40:34pushing me.

00:40:35I had no choice

00:40:36but to fight back.

00:40:37I stood frozen,

00:40:39my heart aching

00:40:39with emotion.

00:40:40I'd always thought

00:40:41I was nothing more

00:40:41than someone Sebastian

00:40:42had bought,

00:40:43that there was always

00:40:43a distance between

00:40:44Ella and me,

00:40:45that she'd kept

00:40:46her cold reserve

00:40:46towards me.

00:40:47I never imagined

00:40:48she would stand up

00:40:49for me so fiercely

00:40:49when others slandered

00:40:50and looked down on me.

00:40:51My gaze fell on her arms,

00:40:53marked with faint

00:40:54scratch wounds.

00:40:56A few tufts of wolf fur

00:40:57had been torn

00:40:58from her neck,

00:40:59and there was a faint

00:41:00bruise at the corner

00:41:01of her mouth.

00:41:03She looked worn

00:41:04and utterly heartbreaking.

00:41:08In that moment,

00:41:09memories of being wronged,

00:41:11mocked,

00:41:11and bullied

00:41:11relentlessly

00:41:12crashed over me

00:41:13like a tide.

00:41:13Shunned as a freak

00:41:14by Evan's pack,

00:41:15humiliated publicly

00:41:16by Selina,

00:41:17sold off like

00:41:17merchandise

00:41:17by my own father,

00:41:18branded barren

00:41:19by everyone around me.

00:41:20All the suppressed

00:41:20grief and resentment

00:41:21welled up inside,

00:41:22flaring into a fierce

00:41:23urge to protect Ella.

00:41:24I reached out

00:41:25and gently stroked

00:41:26her hair,

00:41:27calming the storm

00:41:27of emotion in my chest,

00:41:29then turned to face

00:41:30Jack, Martha,

00:41:32and the rest of them.

00:41:34Jack insulted others

00:41:36openly and resorted

00:41:37to violence first.

00:41:39Martha turns a blind eye

00:41:40to her son's wrongnings

00:41:42and enables his cruelty.

00:41:44Your own pack

00:41:45is overrun by rogues

00:41:46and barely holding on,

00:41:48yet you still find time

00:41:49to bully a pup

00:41:50and insult others.

00:41:52Isn't that both

00:41:53ridiculous and pitiful?

00:41:55The moment my words

00:41:56landed,

00:41:56Martha flew into a rage.

00:41:58She stepped forward

00:41:58abruptly,

00:41:59japping a finger

00:41:59straight at me

00:42:00and snapping sharply.

00:42:01Who do you think you are?

00:42:02How dare you judge us?

00:42:04My birth clan

00:42:05is the blood moon pack,

00:42:06my in-law's

00:42:07the silver flang pack.

00:42:08Say another word

00:42:09and I'll have

00:42:10these two great packs

00:42:11pressure this academy.

00:42:13Not only will Ella

00:42:15be severely punished,

00:42:16I'll make you apologize

00:42:18to us mother and son

00:42:19in front of everyone.

00:42:22The elder in charge

00:42:23of the training camp

00:42:24hurried over,

00:42:25followed by several guards,

00:42:26his area commanding

00:42:27and un-

00:42:27Silence, all of you.

00:42:28Jack provoked,

00:42:29insulted,

00:42:29and attacked first.

00:42:30He must apologize

00:42:31sincerely to Ella

00:42:32and Isabella.

00:42:32Martha will no longer

00:42:33be a ladle

00:42:33in student affairs

00:42:34for turning a blind eye

00:42:35to right and wrong

00:42:35and abusing her status.

00:42:36Anyone else who

00:42:37stirs up trouble

00:42:37will be expelled

00:42:38from the academy

00:42:39permanently,

00:42:40never to be admitted again.

00:42:41He then turned to me,

00:42:42his tone softening noticeably.

00:42:44Lyman Queen,

00:42:45rest assured,

00:42:46this is neutral ground.

00:42:48No one shall harm you

00:42:49or Ella.

00:42:50You need not fear

00:42:51for the one watching

00:42:52over you from the shadows.

00:42:53He will always keep you safe.

00:42:58I stared at him

00:42:59in utter disbelief.

00:43:01Elder,

00:43:02you must have mistaken me

00:43:04for someone else.

00:43:04I'm no Lion Queen.

00:43:06I'm just an ordinary werewolf.

00:43:08I could never deserve

00:43:09such a title.

00:43:10The Elder shook his head faintly,

00:43:12his eyes deep and cryptic,

00:43:14gesturing for me

00:43:14not to press further.

00:43:16This is not the time

00:43:16to speak of it.

00:43:17The matter runs far deeper

00:43:18than you know.

00:43:19When the time comes,

00:43:20all will be revealed.

00:43:23For now,

00:43:23let us resolve

00:43:24what lies before us.

00:43:29At that,

00:43:31Evan,

00:43:31Martha,

00:43:31and Selina

00:43:32burst out

00:43:32in mocking laughter.

00:43:34Martha even clutched

00:43:35her stomach dramatically,

00:43:37sneering openly

00:43:38as she pointed at me.

00:43:39Elder,

00:43:40have you lost your wits?

00:43:42Or has this freak

00:43:43bewitched you somehow?

00:43:44Her?

00:43:45A lowly werewolf

00:43:47sold at the black market

00:43:48who can't even protect herself?

00:43:49The legendary

00:43:50Lycan Queen?

00:43:58What a ridiculous joke!

00:44:01Selina leaned close to Evan,

00:44:03her eyes filled with contempt.

00:44:04She raised her voice deliberately,

00:44:06making sure every watching

00:44:07werewolf could hear clearly.

00:44:09Exactly, Elder.

00:44:10The Lycan Queen

00:44:11is a noble existence

00:44:12who rules over all wolf clans.

00:44:13She's nothing but an outcast

00:44:14abandoned by her pack,

00:44:16mocked for being unable

00:44:17to bear young.

00:44:20How can you see

00:44:20you place such an exalt title

00:44:22on someone like her?

00:44:23The Elder's expression

00:44:25darkened at once,

00:44:26his imposing aura

00:44:27sweeping over the square.

00:44:28His eyes turned cold

00:44:30and sharp as he thundered,

00:44:31silencing every

00:44:32onlooker instantly.

00:44:37Hold your tongues!

00:44:38This neutral training camp

00:44:40is no place

00:44:40for your reckless arrogance.

00:44:42Speak ill of Isabella

00:44:43one more time,

00:44:44mock her again,

00:44:45and I will have

00:44:45all of you detained.

00:44:46Strip part of your wolf power,

00:44:48expulse you from the camp,

00:44:49and bar you

00:44:50from ever returning.

00:44:51Martha tried to argue back,

00:44:53but froze under

00:44:54the Elder's icy stare.

00:44:56The words died

00:44:58in her throat.

00:44:59Furious as she was,

00:45:01she dared not act out

00:45:02any further.

00:45:03The Elder turned to Jack,

00:45:04who still looked

00:45:05stubbornly defiant.

00:45:07Jack,

00:45:08apologize to Ella

00:45:09and Isabella at once.

00:45:10Speak with genuine remorse

00:45:11and admit your faults.

00:45:12Refuse,

00:45:13and you will be expelled today.

00:45:14I will notify your pack,

00:45:16and you will never be allowed

00:45:17entry into any werewolf

00:45:18training camp again.

00:45:19Jack clenched his fists tightly,

00:45:22his face burninged

00:45:22with stubbornness

00:45:23and resentment.

00:45:24He glared fiercely

00:45:25at Ella,

00:45:26yet trembled

00:45:27under the Elder's

00:45:27overwhelming pressure,

00:45:29and finally lowered his head.

00:45:34I'm sorry.

00:45:38I shouldn't have called you

00:45:40a half-blood stray,

00:45:41insulted your brother,

00:45:43tugged your wolf fur,

00:45:44or pushed you

00:45:45against the wall.

00:45:46I apologize.

00:45:49Ella pressed her lips

00:45:50together and said nothing,

00:45:51only nodded faintly,

00:45:53the hurt in her eyes

00:45:54easing a little.

00:45:57Let's go.

00:45:59I'll settle this score

00:46:00with you two,

00:46:01sooner or later.

00:46:02Martha shook with rage.

00:46:03She shot a venomous glare

00:46:04at me and Ella,

00:46:05then grabbed Jack's arm roughly,

00:46:07her tone seeking with malice.

00:46:09Evan looked at me

00:46:09with complicated eyes,

00:46:10resentment,

00:46:11confusion,

00:46:11and a flicker

00:46:12of hidden unease.

00:46:13He shot the Elder

00:46:13a long, wary glance,

00:46:14yet dared not say another word.

00:46:16He turned and left

00:46:16the camp square

00:46:17with Martha and Selina,

00:46:18looking both furious

00:46:19and defeated.

00:46:19Before leaving,

00:46:20Selina glanced back at me

00:46:21with a sharp,

00:46:22hateful stare.

00:46:25I watched them leave,

00:46:26then turned back

00:46:27to the Elder,

00:46:28still utterly confused,

00:46:30my tone urgent.

00:46:32Elder,

00:46:33why do you keep

00:46:34calling me Lycan Queen?

00:46:35I'm not the person

00:46:36you think I am.

00:46:37My mate is only

00:46:38an ordinary werewolf.

00:46:40How could I ever

00:46:41bear such a title?

00:46:42The Elder shook

00:46:43his head slowly,

00:46:44his gaze deep

00:46:44with untold secrets.

00:46:46He motioned for me

00:46:47to calm myself,

00:46:48his tone cryptic

00:46:49yet laced with quiet warmth.

00:46:50This matter is of

00:46:51great consequence

00:46:52and touches countless

00:46:53threads of fate.

00:46:54I cannot reveal

00:46:54a single detail yet.

00:46:56Only remember this.

00:46:58Someone has been

00:46:58protecting you

00:46:59in the shadows.

00:47:00No matter what dangers

00:47:01lie ahead,

00:47:02you have nothing to fear.

00:47:03I turned to Ella

00:47:04beside me,

00:47:05wondering if she knew

00:47:06anything of this.

00:47:08Ella,

00:47:08does any of this

00:47:09make sense to you?

00:47:10Why would the Elder

00:47:11call me that?

00:47:12Ella smiled innocently

00:47:14and shook her head,

00:47:15then skipped off

00:47:15into the distance,

00:47:16her voice light and flaky.

00:47:17No idea, sister.

00:47:18You'll have to figure

00:47:19it out yourself!

00:47:20Back home,

00:47:21I pushed open the door

00:47:22to find Sebastian

00:47:23sitting quietly

00:47:23on the living room sofa,

00:47:24holding a Wolf Clan

00:47:25medicinal herb

00:47:26between his fingers,

00:47:27waiting for us.

00:47:27You're back.

00:47:29Did anything else

00:47:30happen at the camp?

00:47:32Has Ella been wronged again?

00:47:33Ella shook her head

00:47:34and walked over

00:47:34to sit beside him,

00:47:35leaning softly

00:47:36against his arm.

00:47:39I'm fine,

00:47:40Brother Sebastian.

00:47:41The Elder stood up

00:47:42for us,

00:47:42and Jack apologized.

00:47:44I stepped in front

00:47:45of Sebastian,

00:47:46my expression

00:47:47earnest and searching,

00:47:49unable to hold back

00:47:50the questions

00:47:50weighing on my mind

00:47:51any longer.

00:47:55Sebastian,

00:47:55I need to ask you

00:47:56something.

00:47:56Today at the training

00:47:57camp,

00:47:57the Elder called me

00:47:58like on Queen

00:47:59and said someone

00:47:59has been guarding

00:48:00me secretly.

00:48:01Do you know

00:48:01what this is all about?

00:48:02And you?

00:48:03What is your true identity?

00:48:04You've always hidden

00:48:05the truth from me

00:48:06on purpose.

00:48:06Sebastian's fingers stilled.

00:48:08He lifted his eyes

00:48:09to meet mine,

00:48:10his gaze flickering

00:48:11as he deliberately

00:48:11avoided my direct stare.

00:48:14Bella,

00:48:15some things aren't

00:48:15meant to be told yet.

00:48:17I can promise you this.

00:48:19I will never harm you

00:48:20or Ellie,

00:48:21and I will always

00:48:22protect you.

00:48:23All you need to do

00:48:24is trust me.

00:48:25I watched him

00:48:26evade my gaze,

00:48:27my confusion

00:48:27deepening by the second.

00:48:29A quiet hurt

00:48:30settled in my heart.

00:48:31The Elder wouldn't speak,

00:48:32and Sebastian

00:48:33chose to hide

00:48:34the truth too.

00:48:35It felt as if

00:48:36everyone held secrets

00:48:37about me,

00:48:38leaving me in the dark

00:48:39like a fool.

00:48:39I fell silent for a moment,

00:48:41my hand unconsciously

00:48:42drifting to my stomach,

00:48:43where a tiny life

00:48:44was growing,

00:48:45the only thing

00:48:46I clung to now.

00:48:47I lifted my eyes

00:48:48to him,

00:48:49my expression solemn.

00:48:51Sebastian,

00:48:52I'm pregnant.

00:48:53Sebastian froze

00:48:54visibly.

00:48:55He set down

00:48:56the herb slowly,

00:48:57a faint soft smile

00:48:58crossing his face,

00:49:00the corners of his mouth

00:49:01lifting.

00:49:02He was clearly happy,

00:49:04yet his joy

00:49:05was far too restrained,

00:49:07too calm.

00:49:08There was none

00:49:08of the wild delight

00:49:09I'd hoped for,

00:49:10no flurry of worried

00:49:11questions,

00:49:12no tender touch.

00:49:14The glimmer of joy

00:49:15in his eyes

00:49:16faded almost at once,

00:49:17settling back

00:49:18into his usual

00:49:18quiet reserve.

00:49:21My heart sank heavily

00:49:23in that instant.

00:49:24Disappointment

00:49:25and uneases

00:49:25washed over me

00:49:26like a cold tide,

00:49:28swallowing me whole.

00:49:29I couldn't help

00:49:30but wonder,

00:49:31did he not want

00:49:32this pup at all?

00:49:33Was I,

00:49:34and the life inside me,

00:49:35nothing more

00:49:36than a burden to him?

00:49:37I thought of being

00:49:38sold by my own father,

00:49:39abandoned by Evan.

00:49:41Of all the uncertainty

00:49:42I'd endured,

00:49:43my unease grew stronger

00:49:44until my fingers

00:49:45began to tremble faintly.

00:49:46I dared not look

00:49:47Sebastian in the eye,

00:49:48afraid of catching

00:49:49even a trace of distaste

00:49:51or impatience

00:49:51in his expression.

00:49:53I pushed down the ache

00:49:54and hurt in my chest,

00:49:55forcing a faint,

00:49:56calm smile and nodding.

00:49:58I understand.

00:49:59You don't have

00:50:00to feel pressured.

00:50:01Night fell,

00:50:01and silence settled

00:50:02over everything.

00:50:03Moonlight spilled

00:50:04through the window

00:50:04onto the floor.

00:50:05I sat alone

00:50:06on the edge of the bed,

00:50:07gently resting a hand

00:50:08over my stomach.

00:50:09The weight of disappointment

00:50:10and unease

00:50:11grew heavier.

00:50:12More and more,

00:50:13I felt as though

00:50:14both I and my pup

00:50:15were nothing but a burden

00:50:16to Sebastian.

00:50:17Staying here

00:50:17would only be an annoyance,

00:50:19only wear him down further.

00:50:21Better to leave now.

00:50:22Go somewhere

00:50:23no one knows me.

00:50:24Give birth quietly.

00:50:26Raise my pup alone.

00:50:28And never be a chain

00:50:30holding anyone back again.

00:50:31With my mind made up,

00:50:33I rose quietly,

00:50:34moving without a sound.

00:50:35I opened my luggage

00:50:36and began packing silently.

00:50:37A few simple clothes,

00:50:39the wolf tooth pendant

00:50:40Sebastian had given me

00:50:41Longo to ward off danger.

00:50:42Some dried rations

00:50:43I'd saved.

00:50:44I folded everything

00:50:45carefully into a small bundle.

00:50:47Once packed,

00:50:48I walked to Ella's bedside

00:50:49and pressed a soft kiss

00:50:50to her forehead,

00:50:51my heart heavy with sorrow

00:50:52yet firm with resolve.

00:50:53Ella, I'm sorry.

00:50:55Sister can't stay

00:50:55with you anymore.

00:50:56Stay safe with brother Sebastian

00:50:58and getting hurt

00:50:58the way I did.

00:50:59I wiped the tears

00:51:00from my eyes,

00:51:01slung the bundle

00:51:01over my shoulder

00:51:02and closed the door softly.

00:51:05Under the cover

00:51:05of deep night,

00:51:07I stepped slowly

00:51:08out of Sebastian's home.

00:51:12I walked into the dark forest

00:51:13with my bundle.

00:51:14I'd barely taken a few steps

00:51:15when hurried footsteps

00:51:16sounded behind me.

00:51:17A shadow darted forward

00:51:19in pursuit

00:51:19and his familiar scent

00:51:21wrapped around me

00:51:21in an instant.

00:51:22It was Sebastian.

00:51:23Bella, where are you going?

00:51:25It's the middle of the night,

00:51:27carrying a bundle.

00:51:28Are you leaving me?

00:51:29I pulled my hand away sharply,

00:51:31my eyes red-brimmed,

00:51:33tone stubborn and hurt,

00:51:35forcing myself to sound cold.

00:51:38Where I go

00:51:39is none of your business.

00:51:41Sebastian,

00:51:43don't trouble yourself

00:51:44over me

00:51:45and don't feel ob-gayed.

00:51:47How can it not be my business?

00:51:50Bella, you are my mate.

00:51:52The pup you carry

00:51:53is my flesh and blood.

00:51:55Wherever you go,

00:51:56I go.

00:51:58How can you say

00:51:58this has nothing to do with me?

00:52:00His words shattered

00:52:01every wall I've put up.

00:52:02Long suppressed grief

00:52:03and hurt burst free.

00:52:04I pound against his chest,

00:52:06struggling to break away.

00:52:07Mate,

00:52:08do you still remember

00:52:09I'm your mate?

00:52:10Sebastian,

00:52:11look at yourself.

00:52:12I told you I was pregnant

00:52:13and this is how you react.

00:52:15No joy,

00:52:16no concern,

00:52:17not a single sincere word of care.

00:52:18You don't care about this pup at all

00:52:20and you've never truly cared about me.

00:52:22I stopped struggling

00:52:23and stared straight into his eyes,

00:52:24tears streaming down my cheeks,

00:52:26my tone laced with self-mockery and despair,

00:52:29every word cutting deep into us both.

00:52:31You were just a buyer at the black market

00:52:33and I was nothing more than a slave you purchased.

00:52:36Your kindness,

00:52:37your gentleness,

00:52:39only fleeting interest,

00:52:40only because I still have use to you.

00:52:43Isn't that the truth?

00:52:44You've never truly cared about me.

00:52:46Sebastian stuffened completely,

00:52:48holding me tighter.

00:52:50He gripped my shoulders,

00:52:52forcing me to meet his glaze.

00:52:54Bella,

00:52:54don't say that.

00:52:55I have never seen you as a slave,

00:52:57not for a single moment.

00:52:58I bought you for a reason.

00:53:02The forest seemed to darken all at once.

00:53:05A blood-red moon rose slowly over the horizon,

00:53:08its crimson glow spilling across the entire woods.

00:53:11Sebastian lifted his head

00:53:13and stared quietly at the blood moon,

00:53:15his expression solemn and grave.

00:53:17The wolf clan has an ancient fate law.

00:53:20Only when the blood moon rises

00:53:21will the royal seal be fully broken.

00:53:24No more need for pretense,

00:53:25no more hiding.

00:53:27The time has finally come.

00:53:29I stared at the eerie crimson moon,

00:53:31my heart tightening inexplicably,

00:53:34lost and stunned,

00:53:35waiting for him to go on.

00:53:38I was never an ordinary low-rank werewolf.

00:53:41I am the rightful heir to the Lycan throne.

00:53:44My elder brother plotted against me in secret to seize power.

00:53:48To survive,

00:53:49I had to hide my royal identity,

00:53:51suppress my true strength,

00:53:53lie low and bide my time,

00:53:55evading my enemies while gathering power

00:53:57to take back what was mine.

00:53:59His tone softened,

00:54:00laced with gentle remembrance.

00:54:02I've known you for a very long time.

00:54:04Years ago, on the frozen ice plains,

00:54:06I saw you ignoring the bitter cold

00:54:07to feed stray wolfhubs gently.

00:54:09In that moment, I was already drawn to you.

00:54:11I've watched over you silently ever since,

00:54:13following every twist of your fate.

00:54:14His voice turned tender with sorrow

00:54:16as he spoke of the past.

00:54:18When I learned Evan had cast you aside cruelly,

00:54:20and your own father sold you off

00:54:22like nothing more than a breeder,

00:54:24I acted at once and bought you from Marcus.

00:54:26This was never a cold transaction.

00:54:29It was protection I planned long ago.

00:54:31A chance to save you.

00:54:35Sebastian let out a quiet sigh,

00:54:37his eyes filled with lingering helplessness and restraint.

00:54:39I kept my distance and acted cold towards you before

00:54:41because I'd long sensed you are a born pureblood Luna.

00:54:44Back then, I was trapped in royal turmoil,

00:54:46surrounded by enemies,

00:54:47barely able to protect myself.

00:54:48I fear dragging you into danger,

00:54:50and I refuse to let someone as noble and pure as you

00:54:52stay hidden beside a fallen, disguised me.

00:54:54He lifted his gaze to the blood moon

00:54:56hanging high in the sky,

00:54:58his aura steady and regal,

00:55:00his expression calm with certainty.

00:55:03Now the blood moon has risen,

00:55:04fate has fallen into place.

00:55:05I have crushed my brother's schemes,

00:55:07quelled the internal turtle,

00:55:08and reclaimed my rightful throne at last.

00:55:09I have officially ascended as the new Lycan king.

00:55:11He reached out and took my hand gently,

00:55:13his palm warm and firm,

00:55:15his gaze locked steadily on mine.

00:55:18Sincere and earnest.

00:55:19Isabella, of course I care about our child.

00:55:21I have cared all along.

00:55:22I've waited far too long for this day.

00:55:23Once I could only guard you from the shadows.

00:55:25Now I hold the throne,

00:55:26and I have the power to shield you and our pup

00:55:27for a lifetime in peace.

00:55:28I wish to mark you properly,

00:55:29claim you as my one and only mate,

00:55:31and crown you queen of the Lycan clan.

00:55:32From this day forward,

00:55:33no one will ever dare hurt you again.

00:55:34I stared at the raw,

00:55:35unhovered affection and resolve in his eyes.

00:55:37All the grief, unease,

00:55:38and doubt I'd carried these days

00:55:39melted away in an instant.

00:55:41Emotion welled up inside me,

00:55:42and warm tears slipped slowly down my cheeks.

00:55:44I looked at him and nodded softly,

00:55:46knowing he meant to mark me for life.

00:55:49Night hung thick and dark.

00:55:51A blood-red moon hung high over the sky,

00:55:53bathing the entire forest in a faint crimson glow.

00:55:56Isabella waited eagerly for Sebastian

00:55:57to claim her mark,

00:55:58her eyes sparkling with quiet excitement

00:56:00and anticipation.

00:56:00Are you ready?

00:56:01This mark will bind you to me completely as my mate,

00:56:04and awaken the full strength of your pureblood Luna lineage.

00:56:06Yes.

00:56:07Sebastian rested his hands gently on Isabella's shoulders,

00:56:10and pressed his warm lips to hers to leave his mark.

00:56:13There was a faint twinge of pain,

00:56:14yet Isabella did not flinch for a moment.

00:56:17Her gaze filled only with longing.

00:56:19The instant the mark settled Sebastian's royal time

00:56:21with Isabella's pureblood Luna energy,

00:56:23golden light swirled around them both,

00:56:25her golden irises blazing brighter than ever.

00:56:27As her ancient pureblood era fully awakened within her.

00:56:32From this day on,

00:56:33I will never let anyone hurt you.

00:56:35Never let you shed another tear.

00:56:36This mark is my vow to you.

00:56:39I trust you.

00:56:42Hidden in the shadows,

00:56:44Selina watched every moment unfold.

00:56:45She stared at their joined hands,

00:56:47consumed by bitter resentment.

00:56:49A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

00:56:51She quietly pulled out her communicator

00:56:53and reached out to Sebastian's elder brother, William.

00:56:55Why should they have everything?

00:56:56I will take back what belongs to me

00:56:58and make them pay for standing in my way.

00:57:00Sebastian looked down at Isabella beside him,

00:57:03brushing the soft smile from her lips with tender reverence.

00:57:06He knew he no longer needed to hide his identity.

00:57:08At last, he could protect her openly,

00:57:10without fear or pretense.

00:57:12I will protect you,

00:57:13protect our child,

00:57:14and cherish every part of who you are.

00:57:16No one will ever make you suffer again.

00:57:20Sebastian began preparing for the Lycan royal coronation ceremony.

00:57:23On that day, he would publicly reveal his true identity

00:57:25as the rightful royal heir.

00:57:27He officially crowned Lycan king

00:57:28and formally proclaimed Isabella the legitimate Lycan queen,

00:57:31honored and revered by all werewolf clans.

00:57:34Meanwhile, life grew increasingly bleak

00:57:36for Evan's blood moon pack.

00:57:38Stripped of Isabella's luna protection barrier,

00:57:40rogue packs began raiding their borders relentlessly,

00:57:42casualties mounted,

00:57:43their territory fell into ruin,

00:57:45and the entire clan twittered on the brink of collapse.

00:57:47Evan, if we carry on like this,

00:57:50the rogues will swallow our pack entirely.

00:57:53The new Lycan king's coronation is soon,

00:57:55and word spreads his power is unfathomable.

00:57:59If we can gain his favor,

00:58:01we'll never fear the rogues again.

00:58:02We weren't sent an invitation.

00:58:04This king has always lived in secrecy,

00:58:05cold and unpredictable.

00:58:06If we sneak in disguise and get caught,

00:58:08we'll only humiliate ourselves.

00:58:09Do we still care about pride?

00:58:10Saving our pack is all that matters.

00:58:12We'll dress common minor clan guests

00:58:13and blend into the crowd.

00:58:15Once we reach the royal dafts,

00:58:16we'll find a chance to enratiate ourselves.

00:58:17Evan stared at his ravaged territory

00:58:20and his fading clan members.

00:58:21Overcome by desperation and ambition,

00:58:23he finally agreed to sneak into the coronation beside Martha,

00:58:25set on curing favor with the new Lycan king

00:58:27to secure his pack's survival.

00:58:29Upon hearing news of the ceremony,

00:58:31Selina chose not to go with Evan and Martha.

00:58:34She waited alone for William,

00:58:35Sebastian's elder brother,

00:58:37whom she had secretly allied with.

00:58:39Sebastian thinks he can claim the throne

00:58:41and reign in peace.

00:58:44William has already promised me

00:58:46he will seize power at the coronation.

00:58:48Once William overtows Sebastian

00:58:50and takes the crown,

00:58:52I will be his one and only queen,

00:58:54the true Lycan queen.

00:58:57I'll never again live in Isabella's shadow.

00:59:00She drowned herself in ambitious fantasies,

00:59:03waiting foolishly for William to appear,

00:59:05completely unaware she was nothing more than a pawn

00:59:07he had long been using.

00:59:11The Lycan holy mountain blazed with coronation splendor.

00:59:14Golden light spilled over the peeps.

00:59:16Royal guards standing tall with imposing presence.

00:59:19Powerful werewolf leaders from every clan

00:59:20filed in to take their seats.

00:59:22The entire sacred grounds steeped in solemn grandeur.

00:59:25Evan and Martha dressed in plain outsider robes,

00:59:27blending silently into the guest crowd

00:59:28and slipping into the ceremony grounds.

00:59:30They gazed up at the luxurious royal days,

00:59:32watching the dignified clan leaders around them,

00:59:34envy clear in their eyes.

00:59:35Both resolved to seize any chance

00:59:37to win the new Lycan king's favor

00:59:38and save their fear.

00:59:39Their gaze drifted casually across the gathering,

00:59:42and they froze instantly,

00:59:43spotting Isabella and Sebastian

00:59:45standing side by side.

00:59:46Disdain and contempt settled over their faces at once.

00:59:49Look! Is that Isabella?

00:59:51How dare she intrude on a royal coronation!

00:59:54They exchanged a glance,

00:59:56both looking down on the pair.

00:59:57Evan's tone turned sharp with quiet mockery.

01:00:00And beside her,

01:00:01that's the rough, low-class werewolf

01:00:03who bought her at the black market.

01:00:05A nobody with no standing.

01:00:07How dare he set foot on sacred Lycan royal grounds!

01:00:10Echoing his scorn,

01:00:11her disgust deepening,

01:00:13who have no sense of their place.

01:00:14Both are outcasts unfit for high society,

01:00:17only here to leech off prestige

01:00:18and cling to power.

01:00:20They clearly snuck in uninvited

01:00:21with no status or lineage.

01:00:23Once the true Lyman king arrives,

01:00:24guards will drive them out publicly,

01:00:26and they'll be the laughingstock

01:00:27of everyone present.

01:00:30Evan and Martha stepped forward abruptly,

01:00:32blocking Isabella and Sebastian's path.

01:00:34Their manner arrogant

01:00:35and their words cutting.

01:00:36Isabella,

01:00:37you exiled golden-eyed freak!

01:00:39How dare you sneak into a royal coronation,

01:00:41parading around with this low-class werewolf!

01:00:44You have no shame at all!

01:00:45Sebastian,

01:00:46I still remember your ragged state

01:00:47at the black market.

01:00:48A nobody like you

01:00:49has no right to stand on sacred ground.

01:00:52Take her and leave

01:00:52before you embarrass yourselves further.

01:00:54Whether we belong here

01:00:55is none of your concern.

01:00:57You two snuck in without invitations,

01:00:58yet you still dare to act high and mighty?

01:01:00Sebastian drew Isabella gently to his side,

01:01:03adopting a humble, meek demeanor,

01:01:05his tone soft and unassuming.

01:01:06Alpha Evan,

01:01:07Lady Martha,

01:01:08we only came to watch the ceremony.

01:01:10We mean no trouble,

01:01:11and we'll take our leave at once.

01:01:13Seeing Sebastian's apparent weakness

01:01:14emboldened Martha further.

01:01:16She stepped forward sharply,

01:01:17her tone growing harsher still.

01:01:19Leave is not enough!

01:01:20A low-class werewolf

01:01:22trespassing on royal sacred ground.

01:01:23You will apologize to us.

01:01:27Exactly.

01:01:28Beg forgiveness and get out.

01:01:30When the Lion King arrives,

01:01:32he'll strip your wolf power

01:01:33and shame you publicly.

01:01:34A flicker of cold calm

01:01:35passed through Sebastian's eyes,

01:01:37though his tone remained mild,

01:01:38edged with quiet certainty.

01:01:39Is that so?

01:01:40Then let us wait and see

01:01:41who ends up embarrassed

01:01:41before everyone.

01:01:42Isabella lifted her gaze,

01:01:44a faint glimmer shining

01:01:45in her golden eyes.

01:01:46She played along with Sebastian's act,

01:01:47looking wronged,

01:01:48yet forcing herself to stay complete.

01:01:49You carry yourself so arrogantly.

01:01:51Do you not fear angering

01:01:52the Lycan King?

01:01:54Martha scoffed openly,

01:01:56utterly dismissive of their words.

01:01:58Anger the King?

01:01:59The only ones embarrassing

01:02:00themselves here are you two.

01:02:02The King will punish you,

01:02:04not us.

01:02:06Their taunt stung sharp

01:02:08and loud in my ears.

01:02:09I had no wish to waste time

01:02:10on these petty troublemakers,

01:02:12only wanting to turn away

01:02:13and let the ceremony

01:02:14proceed undisturbed.

01:02:15Pay them no mind.

01:02:17The real show is about to begin.

01:02:19I nodded and turned

01:02:20to leave with him.

01:02:21But Evan took my silence as defeat,

01:02:23stepping forward to block our path,

01:02:25wearing a mocking,

01:02:26triumphant smirk.

01:02:27Cat got your tongue?

01:02:28Can't argue back,

01:02:29so you try to run?

01:02:30I knew it.

01:02:31You're both small-minded nobodies,

01:02:33unfit to stand against us.

01:02:35Run won't save you.

01:02:36Apologize here today,

01:02:37or everyone will see

01:02:39the two of you brought low

01:02:40and humiliated.

01:02:43I frowned,

01:02:44ready to speak,

01:02:45when solemn ceremonial horns

01:02:46echoed across the grounds.

01:02:47A hush fell instantly,

01:02:48every gaze turning

01:02:49towards the high das.

01:02:50The host's voice

01:02:50boomed across the holy mountain,

01:02:52clear and authoritative

01:02:53through spiritual resonance.

01:02:54The auspicious hour has come.

01:02:56The Lycan King's

01:02:57coronation ceremony begins.

01:02:59All rise for the rightful

01:03:01Lycan royal heir,

01:03:02Lord Sebastian,

01:03:03and his fated mate,

01:03:05Lady Isabella,

01:03:06to ascend the royal dame.

01:03:11Golden light burst across the sky.

01:03:18I, Sebastian,

01:03:20rightful heir to the Lycan throne,

01:03:22have quelled my brother's rebellion

01:03:23and reclaimed my royal birthright.

01:03:25Today I ascend officially as Lion King

01:03:27and proclaim Isabella my sole Lion Queen.

01:03:30May all clans honor our rule

01:03:32and find peace under our protection.

01:03:34This was my mate.

01:03:36The one destined to walk beside me

01:03:37for all time.

01:03:38In the next instant,

01:03:40two sharp, disbelieving voices

01:03:42shattered the ceremony's solemnity.

01:03:45Impossible!

01:03:45It cannot be!

01:03:46How can you be the Lycan King?

01:03:48You were nothing but a ragged nobody

01:03:49from the black market.

01:03:50You're pretending to claim the throne.

01:03:51Yes, you're an imposter!

01:03:53A low-class werewolf

01:03:54could never be Lycan royal heir!

01:03:55You've tricked everyone

01:03:56with some underhanded scheme!

01:03:58The true Lord King

01:03:58could never be someone like you!

01:04:00They shouted hysterically,

01:04:01as if their refusal alone

01:04:03could undo reality.

01:04:04I watched their frantic display

01:04:06with complete indifference.

01:04:07It was utterly ridiculous now.

01:04:09The nobody they mocked

01:04:10was now the king.

01:04:11The outcast they humiliated,

01:04:13now their queen.

01:04:18Insolent fools!

01:04:20To speak treason

01:04:21at the Lycan King's coronation,

01:04:23to deny royal lineage

01:04:25and dishonor the crown,

01:04:28you court your own doom.

01:04:30Guards, seize them!

01:04:32These two trespassed

01:04:33uninvited on sacred ceremony grounds,

01:04:35insulted the king and queen,

01:04:36and flouted royal decree.

01:04:37By order of the crown,

01:04:38strip three-tenths

01:04:39of their wolf power,

01:04:40expel them from the holy mountain,

01:04:41and ban them permanently

01:04:42from all Lycan territory.

01:04:44Any who defy this ruling

01:04:45shall be put to death

01:04:46without hesitation.

01:04:50He hated his own blindness

01:04:51and pride,

01:04:53mocking the true Lion King,

01:04:54and now reaping the ruin

01:04:56he had sown.

01:04:57Your Majesty King Sebastian,

01:04:58I beg forgiveness.

01:04:59I dare not doubt you again,

01:05:00I swear it.

01:05:01Your grace, Queen Isabella,

01:05:02please show mercy.

01:05:04We will never insult you again,

01:05:05never trespass on royal ceremony grounds.

01:05:08Spare us this once.

01:05:09You mock freely

01:05:10when you hold pride,

01:05:11yet beg for mercy and ruin.

01:05:12Your arrogance and ignorance

01:05:13deserve no forgiveness from me.

01:05:15They had brought this upon themselves,

01:05:17casting me aside,

01:05:18humiliating me,

01:05:19looking down on others,

01:05:19and now they face the consequences.

01:05:21They left an utter disgrace,

01:05:23their pride shattered beyond repair.

01:05:28Selene alone beneath the shade of a tree,

01:05:31she clutched her communicator tightly.

01:05:34Why hasn't William come?

01:05:36He swore he would overthrow Sebastian

01:05:37at the coronation.

01:05:38Once he takes the crown,

01:05:40he'll make me Lion Queen.

01:05:42He wouldn't lie to me.

01:05:43The Lion was dead completely.

01:05:46No, this can't be.

01:05:48He wouldn't deceive me.

01:05:49He must have been stopped by Sebastian's guards,

01:05:52caught in trouble somehow.

01:05:53William!

01:05:54William!

01:05:56William!

01:06:02Selene, you are foolish and greedy indeed.

01:06:04Did you truly believe I would risk everything

01:06:06for the throne or crown you queen?

01:06:08I only used you to drain your wealth

01:06:10and resources for my own gain.

01:06:11At last the truth crashed over her.

01:06:13This had never been anything

01:06:15but a carefully laid trap.

01:06:17Please, my wealth, my crown,

01:06:20everything is gone.

01:06:21He lied to me.

01:06:22He truly lied to me.

01:06:26Word soon spread of Selene's

01:06:28secret alliance with William.

01:06:30She was branded an enemy of the Lion Crown,

01:06:34blacklisted across all werewolf lands.

01:06:36Foolish woman.

01:06:37Not only were you deceived,

01:06:39you dragged my pack into ruin.

01:06:40Do not show yourself to me again.

01:06:42We are finished.

01:06:43Evan, please help me.

01:06:45I know I was wrong.

01:06:46I only wanted a better life.

01:06:47Clean up the mess you made alone.

01:06:49Someone like you is not worthy of standing beside me.

01:06:55Penniless and without allies,

01:06:57she became a public joke among the werewolf clans.

01:07:01She spent her days adrift in loneliness and regret.

01:07:05Evan was stripped of part of his wolf power.

01:07:07His former alpha dominance faded away entirely.

01:07:10I let vanity blind me

01:07:12and looked down on Sebastian out of pride.

01:07:15This ruin is entirely my own fault.

01:07:17If only I hadn't urged you to seek favor.

01:07:19If only I hadn't angered the royal family.

01:07:22What will become of us now?

01:07:23There is nothing we can do.

01:07:25Our pack fades.

01:07:26We are powerless to protect it.

01:07:28We can only leave our fate to time.

01:07:29The old glory of the Blood Moon Pack

01:07:32faded into memory.

01:07:33The clan declined steadily into obscurity,

01:07:37struggling merely to survive.

01:07:43All external conflicts faded away,

01:07:45and the last traces of royal rebellion

01:07:47were pink held completely.

01:07:50Peace settled over every corner of werewolf territory.

01:07:55Sebastian ruled the Lycan throne steadily,

01:07:58managing clan affairs with calm order,

01:08:00leaving no room for further chaos.

01:08:04With Pup now growing inside me,

01:08:06I rested quietly in the Lyman royal mansion.

01:08:09Sebastian set aside many official duties

01:08:12to stay by my side,

01:08:13tending to my every need

01:08:14with gentle, careful devotion.

01:08:16You don't have to stay by my side every moment.

01:08:19Royal affairs keep you busy.

01:08:20Don't let me hold you back.

01:08:22The throne matters,

01:08:24but you and the Pup you carry

01:08:26matter most in my life.

01:08:28The elders contend to all trivial matters.

01:08:30Ella also remained safely

01:08:32within the royal household,

01:08:33staying close to keep me company,

01:08:35and looking after my daily needs

01:08:36with heartfelt care.

01:08:38Rest easy and focus on your pregnancy, Luna.

01:08:40I'll stay right here with you

01:08:41so you have nothing to worry about.

01:08:45Sebastian tangled his fingers with mine,

01:08:48his eyes soft.

01:08:51Ella smiled quietly beside us.

01:08:54Sunlight spilled through the window,

01:08:56warm and calm,

01:08:57over all three of us.

01:09:03I love you.
