00:00:00After my best friend Isabella became addicted to gambling, she suddenly said excitedly that she wanted to take me to

00:00:05Las Vegas.

00:00:07I just hit the jackpot! Your big sis is treating you to a stay at the Golden Palm!

00:00:12But the moment our plane landed, she led me into a VIP lounge deep inside a casino.

00:00:17The truth is, I lost 50 million dollars. If I can't pay it back, they'll sell me to the cartel.

00:00:23But the boss is looking for a woman with a crescent-shaped birth back. If I find one, all my

00:00:27debts will be a clean.

00:00:30Don't you have one right here on your chest? I've seen it when we showered! I'm sorry, Sarah. I really

00:00:36don't want to die!

00:00:37For bodyguards dressed in black pinned me onto a leather sofa. Then my eyes suddenly landed on a yellow pencil

00:00:42sketch hanging on the wall.

00:00:45It was the drawing I had made for my father before I was kidnapped. He had treasured it like a

00:00:49priceless possession and said he would keep it for the rest of his life.

00:00:53Isabella, this time, you really did place the right bet. Too bad the winner won't be you.

00:00:58By the time I realized something was wrong and tried to leave, it was already too late.

00:01:04Sarah, that's 50 million dollars! I couldn't repay that in 10 lifetimes!

00:01:10But God hasn't abandoned me! He gave you that crescent birthmark on your chest so you could save me!

00:01:16I sucked in a breath.

00:01:18It felt as though fear had wrapped around my throat, leaving me unable to breathe.

00:01:22Isabella, you sold me?

00:01:26We've known each other for over 10 years.

00:01:28You're my best friend, and you sold me for 50 million dollars?

00:01:32Don't look at me like that.

00:01:34The owner of this casino is richer than anyone you can imagine.

00:01:38The only thing he likes is women with crescent-shaped birthmarks.

00:01:41For someone like that, he'd forgive any gambling debt!

00:01:46And you just happened to have the birthmark ink.

00:01:49Bringing you Claire is... it's for your own good, too.

00:01:53What if he takes a liking on you?

00:01:55Then you'll become the boss's wife!

00:01:57The image of a disgusting, middle-aged man flashed through my mind.

00:02:02If you want to be the boss's wife, then go do it yourself!

00:02:05I'm leaving!

00:02:05But before my hand could reach the doorknob, something heavy slammed into the back of my head.

00:02:13Sarah, you forced me to do this!

00:02:15She crouched beside me and snatched the silver locket engraved with my childhood nickname from around my neck.

00:02:21Don't think I don't know why you came with me.

00:02:24It wasn't for vacation.

00:02:26You came to find your biological parents.

00:02:30Since you're already here, help me pay off my jat, and I'll help you fife them.

00:02:34But if you dare run away, you'll never have a family vaft-in in this life's.

00:02:39The back of my head throbbed with unbearable pain.

00:02:41I struggled to move my lips as despair swallowed me whole.

00:02:45I had been kidnapped at the age of five.

00:02:48Afraid of being identified, the traffickers immediately changed my clothes,

00:02:53shaved my head, and threw away everything I had.

00:02:56The only thing I managed to save was the silver locket engraved with my nickname,

00:03:00which I hid beneath my tongue.

00:03:02For sixteen years, I forgot the way home.

00:03:05Even my memories from before the age of five had faded.

00:03:08This locket was the only thing I had left that connected me to my parents.

00:03:13Now that it was gone, so was every last shred of hope.

00:03:18Good.

00:03:19At least you know what's good for you.

00:03:28You're Isabella?

00:03:29We heard you brought something to settle your debt.

00:03:37Vincent?

00:03:38Isn't the boss looking for a woman with a crescent birth prank?

00:03:40This is my best friend Sarah.

00:03:42She has one right here on her chest.

00:03:44I brought her just like you asked.

00:03:46So about my fifty million?

00:03:47The man at the front didn't even lift his eyelids.

00:03:50He pulled out a chair and sat down.

00:03:54What's the rush?

00:03:56Verify the goods first.

00:03:59His subordinates immediately rushed forward.

00:04:02They dragged me onto the sofa and stripped off my jacket in seconds.

00:04:05Gathering every ounce of strength I had.

00:04:08Let go!

00:04:09Don't touch me!

00:04:10I kicked him hard in the shin.

00:04:11You bitch!

00:04:12You dare kick me?

00:04:14He spat on the floor and slapped me across the face twice.

00:04:17Before I could even speak.

00:04:19Exactly when a gunshot echoed through the room.

00:04:21The man's leg was pierced by a bullet.

00:04:24He screamed and collapsed backward.

00:04:26You're already laying hands on her before we verified anything?

00:04:29You got a death wish?

00:04:32Take him out.

00:04:33Don't stain the boss's carpet.

00:04:34The others answered nervously and quickly dragged the wounded man away.

00:04:39The restaurants were gone, but I sat frozen, unable to move.

00:04:43They had guns.

00:04:44If I resisted again, I'd be the next one shot.

00:04:49In the corner, Isabella was trembling in terror, yet her eyes carried an even firmer determination.

00:04:57Vincent, she really does have a crescent birthmark on her chest.

00:05:00It's exactly the kind the boss wants.

00:05:03Vincent shot her a cold glance.

00:05:05She immediately lowered her head.

00:05:09You guys, go now.

00:05:11Hurry up and don't waste my time.

00:05:13Four more men lunged toward me.

00:05:14I desperately shrank backward.

00:05:16Then my eyes landed on another familiar sketch hanging on the wall.

00:05:20A family of three was flying a kite.

00:05:22Above the little girl with the ponytail in the middle was a name I could never forget, even if I

00:05:26died.

00:05:27Serafina.

00:05:28It was a drawing I had made before I was kidnapped.

00:05:31My mother had loved it so much she couldn't put it down.

00:05:34My father smiled and said he would treasure it forever.

00:05:39It's dad.

00:05:40All these years.

00:05:41He had been searching for me too.

00:05:43Overwhelmed with excitement, I pushed myself upright against the sofa.

00:05:47Is your boss?

00:05:50So many words.

00:05:52You're probably scheming something.

00:05:56You!

00:05:57Shut up!

00:05:58You lot.

00:06:00Strip her and verify it.

00:06:01My scalp instantly went numb.

00:06:03He could shoot his own men without hesitation.

00:06:06What chance did I have?

00:06:08Isabella trembled beside us and whispered,

00:06:11Sarah, just cooperate.

00:06:12Once they're done checking, I can leave.

00:06:14If you keep this up, I'll die too.

00:06:17Even now, she was still thinking only of herself.

00:06:21I glanced once more at the sketch and decided to stay still.

00:06:24If dad came after the inspection, we'd recognize each other, and every crisis would disappear.

00:06:29Clenching my teeth, I endured the humiliation.

00:06:33Just below my collarbone, the crescent-shaped birthmark was clearly visible.

00:06:39Boss, this one actually looks real.

00:06:41Vincent strode over.

00:06:43The moment he saw the birthmark, surprise flashed across his face.

00:06:46It really is exactly the same as the boss's drawing as the one.

00:06:50Isabella knew everything was settled and immediately forced a flattering smile.

00:06:56Vincent, now that you've verified her about my 50 million...

00:07:01Debt cleared.

00:07:02Now get lost.

00:07:04Yes, yes, yes.

00:07:05I'll leave right away.

00:07:06Isabella nodded vigorously and turned to run.

00:07:09But my silver locket was still with her.

00:07:14Isabella, you can't leave!

00:07:19Don't let her get away!

00:07:21At Vincent's command, the subordinate closest to me drove a hard kick into my stomach.

00:07:25I couldn't dodge in time but fell backward, the back of my head slamming into the sharp edge of the

00:07:29table.

00:07:30Vincent's expression darkened.

00:07:32Are you looking for death?

00:07:34How many times have I told you not to lay a hand on her before confirmation?

00:07:37Leaning against the table, I reached up and touched it.

00:07:40My hand came away covered in blood.

00:07:42My vision slowly blurred.

00:07:44I could feel my consciousness slipping away, and my limbs were beginning to ignore my commands.

00:07:49I can't pass out.

00:07:50I haven't seen Dad yet.

00:07:55This is bad, boss!

00:07:57She's bleeding!

00:07:58You two find a doctor.

00:07:59You two go get the boss.

00:08:01Tell him this birthmark looks very convincing.

00:08:03And have him come take a look.

00:08:04The rest of you, be careful.

00:08:06If she really is the woman the boss has been looking for and we offend her now,

00:08:09she'll complain to him later, and none of us will get away with it.

00:08:12She froze.

00:08:13After a long moment, she asked in a trembling voice,

00:08:17Vincent, isn't the boss just looking for a mistress?

00:08:20Is one woman really that important?

00:08:23Of course it is.

00:08:25Otherwise, why would the boss offer such generous terms?

00:08:27Bring her here, and your debt disappears.

00:08:32But not everyone qualifies to pay off a debt this way.

00:08:37People have brought women with crescent birthmarks before, but they didn't know the boss's exact requirements.

00:08:43They simply tattooed one and brought them here.

00:08:46And every single one of them was dealt with by the boss.

00:08:49You're lucky.

00:08:51This woman's crescent is exact where the boss wants it.

00:08:53Not even a millimeter off.

00:08:55Just wait.

00:08:56If she really is the one the boss wants,

00:08:59not only will your 50 million disappear,

00:09:01but your best friend will be living in luxury and dragging you along to enjoy it, too.

00:09:05Isabella's eyes darted around.

00:09:07Her expression suddenly changed.

00:09:09A terrible feeling rose inside me.

00:09:11Using the last of my strength, I opened my mouth.

00:09:14I...

00:09:15I am...

00:09:17I am...

00:09:20Brother Vincent, I'm sorry.

00:09:23Her birthmark is fake!

00:09:24I can't deceive the boss!

00:09:26I'll repay the 50 million myself.

00:09:28I don't want to settle the debt this way anymore.

00:09:31Isabella, are you asking to die?

00:09:33No!

00:09:34She forced me!

00:09:36She, I found out from somewhere where the birthmark should could be,

00:09:39went to a tattoo stop, and then had you in a stay.

00:09:42Now that she forced me to bring her...

00:09:44She said she wanted to climb into the boss's bed and enjoy wealth and luxury.

00:09:48It's true!

00:09:49She threatened to kill my parents if I refused to bring her.

00:09:54Isabella kept pleading, tears streaming down her face.

00:09:57Beside her, I struggled to breathe and shook my head desperately.

00:10:01I didn't...

00:10:02I really...

00:10:05Sarah, stop lying!

00:10:06You might fool them for a while, but not forever!

00:10:09Once the boss discovers your birthmark is fake, you'll die an even worse death.

00:10:13Vincent looked down from above, his sharp eyes fixed on the crescent mark exposed on my chest,

00:10:18trying to determine which of us was telling the truth.

00:10:21But he seemed completely unaware that the boss was looking for a daughter, not a mistress.

00:10:25If he would only look more closely at my face, perhaps he would notice how much I resembled my father.

00:10:31Vincent!

00:10:31That group from last time is causing trouble in the casino again!

00:10:37You two stay here.

00:10:38Don't let either of them leave.

00:10:40I'll be right back.

00:10:41The VIP room door closed.

00:10:43Only the two of us remained.

00:10:44I never imagined the casino owner's obsession was this extreme.

00:10:48Match the birthmark, and you become the boss's wife.

00:10:51I fought to stay conscious, but my body kept sliding toward the floor.

00:10:54Blood continued pouring from the back of my head.

00:10:57I probably couldn't hold on much longer.

00:11:00You...

00:11:02What are you trying to do?

00:11:04I was wrong!

00:11:05I thought he just wanted someone to sleep with!

00:11:07No, I can't let you become the boss's wife!

00:11:10Otherwise, you'd never let me go!

00:11:11Just like I would never let you go!

00:11:14We're best friends.

00:11:16If you let me go, I'll pretend none of this ever happened.

00:11:20Impossible!

00:11:21You must hate me!

00:11:22Really?

00:11:23Think about it.

00:11:24Without me, how will you repay that 50 million?

00:11:27They'll sell you to the cartel that would be worse than death.

00:11:30Let me go, I swear!

00:11:31I won't say anything!

00:11:32I'll take you with me to enjoy the good life!

00:11:35And that 50 million...

00:11:36I'll pay it for you!

00:11:38Finally, something changed in her expression.

00:11:41She licked her dry lips.

00:11:43I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

00:11:45But before I could fully relax, she suddenly clenched her fists.

00:11:50No.

00:11:51You're too stubborn.

00:11:53You've spent over ten years searching for your biological parents without giving up!

00:11:56There's no way you'd let me off!

00:11:58I can figure out another way to deal with 50 million.

00:12:01But I can't leave you alive.

00:12:06Then she produced a small bottle filled with clear liquid and forcefully poured it into

00:12:10my mouth.

00:12:10A bitter taste burned down my throat.

00:12:13Don't be afraid.

00:12:14This anesthetic takes effect in 20 minutes.

00:12:17After that, you'll lose consciousness.

00:12:19No matter what happens, you won't feel anything.

00:12:22I'm sorry, Sarah.

00:12:23But if only one of us gets to live, it has to be me.

00:12:26The anesthetic spread through my body.

00:12:29Every ounce of strength disappeared.

00:12:31I slid onto the floor, feeling as though I could lose consciousness at any second.

00:12:35At that exact moment, Vincent returned.

00:12:41What happened?

00:12:42With tears streaming down her face, Isabella pointed at me.

00:12:45Vincent!

00:12:46She was afraid of the pain while getting the tattoo!

00:12:48She ran away before the last part was colored in!

00:12:51Now the wound has split open!

00:12:53It hurts so much that she's getting dizzy!

00:12:56Vincent lowered his gaze.

00:12:58At the very tip of my crescent birthmark, there was indeed a thin line slowly bleeding.

00:13:04So it really is fake.

00:13:07Go tell the boss not to waste his time coming over.

00:13:10A shadow fell over me.

00:13:11Something cold touched my chest.

00:13:13You almost got us killed.

00:13:16So you like crescents so much?

00:13:18Then I'll cut this piece of skin off your body and sew it onto your face!

00:13:23What?

00:13:23The knife pierced the wound.

00:13:26No!

00:13:26I'm the person the boss is looking for!

00:13:29He isn't looking for a mistress!

00:13:33He's looking for his daughter!

00:13:34I'm his daughter!

00:13:36No wonder you dared tattoo yourself and come here to die.

00:13:49I couldn't feel the pain anymore, but I couldn't say another word either.

00:13:55Vincent, this is the boss's favorite carpet.

00:13:57Take her away, and get someone to clean the carpet.

00:14:02Vincent, should we sell her directly to the cartel?

00:14:05My heart tightened.

00:14:06I watched him wipe the knife clean with a handkerchief, his eyes filled with cruelty.

00:14:13Limah's baby needs a father on paper.

00:14:15Once we divorce, I'll marry you.

00:14:18The day we were supposed to complete our blood bonding ceremony, my mate Rylan had the clan

00:14:22sentinels drag me out of the sacred hall.

00:14:24He walked in with his childhood sweetheart instead.

00:14:26Everyone thought I'd swallow my pride and wait another month.

00:14:28After all, I'd already waited 7 years.

00:14:31But that night, I accepted my family's arranged alliance and left the Abyssal Reach entirely.

00:14:35I disappeared from Rylan's world completely.

00:14:37Three years later, I returned to Abyss Reach with my mate for a clan ancestral rite.

00:14:41My mate had a work emergency, so he had his people to collect me.

00:14:44At the border crossing, I walked out and froze.

00:14:46That person was Rylan, my ex.

00:14:48The arrival clearing?

00:14:49I spotted a scout holding a marker carved with my name, my formal alliance name, Gila, and walked over.

00:14:55Rylan was holding it.

00:14:56He had Lyra with him, plus a few of his clansmen, all craning their necks toward the tree.

00:15:00Hey, isn't that Rylan's obsessed ex?

00:15:02Isn't that Avera?

00:15:02Rylan looked surprised to see me.

00:15:04He covered it fast.

00:15:05Told you.

00:15:06She'd come crawling back.

00:15:07Avera vanished without a trace.

00:15:08Now she sees Rylan is in a higher rank.

00:15:10She probably cries herself to sleep every night.

00:15:12Avera, if you're gonna fake a random run-in, why show up like this?

00:15:16Couldn't you at least put on some makeup?

00:15:18Without Rylan, you can't even buy a nice outfit.

00:15:20Look pathetic.

00:15:21It was true.

00:15:21I used to make myself perfect every time I knew I'd be near Rylan.

00:15:24Sharpest claws, finest scales on display.

00:15:27Best version of me.

00:15:28Not anymore.

00:15:28No point.

00:15:29Because I'm carrying, and my mate refused to let me be uncomfortable.

00:15:32He had the soft traveling wrap, custom-tailored for me.

00:15:35Listening to them mock me, it suddenly clicked.

00:15:37They only knew my alliance name.

00:15:38They had no idea the one they were here to collect was me.

00:15:41Avera, hey, it's good you're back.

00:15:43Rylan's been asking after you for years.

00:15:44Yeah, our son is entering the young training cohort soon.

00:15:47From now on, you're in charge of the drop-off.

00:15:48He was still so incredibly arrogant, but I wasn't that naive girl anymore.

00:15:51I didn't want to waste another second on them.

00:15:53I was just about to tell them exactly-

00:15:54I am.

00:15:55Please don't blame Rylan.

00:15:56He's just trying to take care of you.

00:15:58You disappeared for three years.

00:15:59Who knows what kind of shady stuff you had to do to survive.

00:16:01Don't worry.

00:16:02Caring for my son is a respectable role.

00:16:05No one will look down on you.

00:16:06All right, Avera.

00:16:07Drop the attitude.

00:16:08You clearly can't survive out there, so stop throwing tantrums.

00:16:10Take care of the kid and learn your place.

00:16:12Damn, Avera.

00:16:13Look how good Rylan is to you.

00:16:14He's giving you free room and board.

00:16:15Isn't babysitting better than whatever trashy life you're living now?

00:16:18Hurry up and say thank you.

00:16:20Don't worry, dear.

00:16:21If my son acts up, I'll handle him myself.

00:16:22You won't be mistreated.

00:16:23Why would she be mistreated?

00:16:24She ran away over a tiny little misunderstanding.

00:16:26If she hit rock bottom out in the wilds, a little humility is good for her.

00:16:30My heart actually skipped a beat.

00:16:32Three years had passed, and he still thought it was a small matter to dump me and married Lyra.

00:16:36The Rylan who used to love me was truly gone.

00:16:38He wasn't the young warrior who'd carried me, wounded, across three territory borders,

00:16:42in the dead of a moonless night.

00:16:43But whatever, it was all in the past.

00:16:45None of it mattered anymore.

00:16:46Besides, I was about to carry my second hatchling anyway.

00:16:49Aren't you here to pick me up?

00:16:50Let's go.

00:16:51Pick you up, please.

00:16:53Read it carefully.

00:16:55We are here for Hela.

00:16:56Do you even know who that is?

00:16:59Hela is the mate-bonded consort of the Frostridge line.

00:17:02She is blood-bonded to Lord Kale.

00:17:04Kale is a living legend.

00:17:07Coldest dragon alive in the field, but completely devoted to his wife.

00:17:10Rumor has it he refused all alliances for years.

00:17:14Just waiting for Hela.

00:17:16Everyone knows the rule.

00:17:18If you want Kale's favor, go through Hela.

00:17:21She is his entire world.

00:17:22Listening to them gossip about my marriage, I couldn't help it.

00:17:25A genuine happy smile spread across my face.

00:17:28We had been married for three years.

00:17:29Kale's reputation as a fiercely devoted husband had spread everywhere.

00:17:33To claim Hela as his, Kyle went to the Ancient Exchange and paid down a legendary artifact,

00:17:38the Eternal Fang Bracelet, just to give to Hela.

00:17:41She's the most envied female in every territory.

00:17:45Lyra stopped.

00:17:46Then she pointed at my wrist and shrieked.

00:17:48That bracelet, that's it!

00:17:51It's a pretty good fake.

00:17:53Which a lowbring clansman bought you that?

00:17:55Buying you a cheap imitation?

00:17:58Absolute trash.

00:18:01Wow.

00:18:02It really is high quality for a fake.

00:18:04Way better than the replica I had made.

00:18:05But I'd never actually wear mine in public.

00:18:08These outer territory imutations, though.

00:18:11The craftsmanship is something else.

00:18:14The weight actually feels real.

00:18:17Or what, Ivara?

00:18:18Are you going to tell us you're Hela?

00:18:20Are you Lord Kale's bonded mate?

00:18:23The whole group fell apart laughing.

00:18:25Of course they did.

00:18:26It was absurd to them.

00:18:27Kale was a living legend across all territories.

00:18:29Cold.

00:18:30Absolute.

00:18:31Untouchable.

00:18:31And three years ago, I was just the girl Rylan had left standing outside the Sacred Hall.

00:18:36There was no version of reality where those two things connected.

00:18:40Lyra swung the bracelet around her claw.

00:18:42Just give it to me, Ivara.

00:18:43I'll pay double whatever you traded for me.

00:18:45Give it back.

00:18:46Kale gave me that.

00:18:47Rylan struck me across the face before I could finish.

00:18:50Shut your mouth!

00:18:51My head snapped sideways.

00:18:53I tasted copper.

00:18:54Ivara, do you have any idea what you're saying?

00:18:57You think you can just casually invoke Lord Kale's name?

00:19:01Are you trying to get me killed?

00:19:02I wiped the blood from my lip.

00:19:04Slowly turned back to Rylan.

00:19:05Whatever he saw in my eyes made him flinch.

00:19:07His clansmen piled on immediately.

00:19:08Do you know how hard we fought for this pick-up assignment?

00:19:11Kale absorbed Rylan's clan faction last season.

00:19:13Our entire livelihood depends on him now.

00:19:15The only way Rylan keeps his post is if Hela accepts us.

00:19:19And you're out here spreading wild rumors that you're connected to Lord Kale.

00:19:22Are you trying to ruin Rylan entirely?

00:19:24You ungrateful snake.

00:19:27Rylan offered you a place and you throw it back at him?

00:19:29I know you're still bitter about the past.

00:19:31Trying to sabotage his standing out of petty spite.

00:19:34That's sick.

00:19:35Hearing her say that, it felt exactly like three years ago.

00:19:38No matter what I did, Lyra would twist it.

00:19:40Feed her poisonous version of the story to Rylan.

00:19:42In the early days, he used to defend me.

00:19:44By the end, he always took her side.

00:19:46Just like now, Rylan shook his head, muttering-

00:19:48Jealous shrew.

00:19:51For old time's sake, I'll let this go.

00:19:53Take these.

00:19:54Get yourself proper clothes.

00:19:56If you really don't want to tend Lyra's hatchling,

00:19:59I'll find you something tolerable next season.

00:20:01Don't worry.

00:20:02Ever since Kale absorbed us, this kind of thing cost me nothing.

00:20:05No, thank you.

00:20:06I don't take things from strangers.

00:20:12Not three steps out, Rylan grabbed my arm.

00:20:14You won't take what I'm offering?

00:20:16What does that mean?

00:20:17I'm a stranger to you?

00:20:18We dissolved our bond.

00:20:19Better not to stay tangled in each other's lives.

00:20:21Others might get the wrong impression.

00:20:23I was thinking of Kale,

00:20:24who had a very particular dislike of misunderstanding.

00:20:26Rylan glanced at Lyra.

00:20:28He had a knowing look.

00:20:29My faction is hosting a tribute feast for Kale in three days.

00:20:31I was going to bring you, show you something real.

00:20:33But you'd need to present yourself properly.

00:20:35Can't embarrass me.

00:20:37I'm fine, but thank you.

00:20:39Fine.

00:20:40I'll take Lyra.

00:20:43I won't let you down.

00:20:44Hope you're still this confident in three days.

00:20:47I didn't look back and walked into the treeline.

00:20:49Fresh air.

00:20:50The nausea faded.

00:20:51I stood there for a moment, breathing it in.

00:20:52My mind flashed back three years ago.

00:20:54My family had arranged an alliance overseas.

00:20:56I'd gone to Rylan for the first seven years together.

00:20:59I wanted to seal our bond before the journey.

00:21:01Force the decision.

00:21:02He agreed.

00:21:03Fine.

00:21:03But at the Sacred Hall, it wasn't just Rylan waiting.

00:21:06Lyra was there too.

00:21:07Her hatchling needs to be registered under my bloodline.

00:21:09I'll dissolve her bond claim in a month.

00:21:11Then I'll bond with you.

00:21:12This is just about hatchling.

00:21:13I watched him take her inside.

00:21:15That was the last thing I needed to see.

00:21:17I crossed the border that night.

00:21:18Met Kale.

00:21:19Bonded with him a month later.

00:21:21Had our son the year after.

00:21:22Now I was carrying it again.

00:21:23And the only reason I was even back in the reach was to attend a clan ancestral rite with Kale.

00:21:29Honestly, if it wasn't for the rite, I never would have set foot back here.

00:21:32And I definitely wouldn't have run into Rylan.

00:21:34Three days later, I painted on a light adornment and made my way to the feast grounds alone.

00:21:39You said you weren't coming, but here you are.

00:21:43Listen.

00:21:45If you want me back, you need to at least present yourself properly to match my standing.

00:21:50I walked past him without a word.

00:21:52He grabbed my arm.

00:21:54Evara, I'm talking to you.

00:21:55Our circle is here.

00:21:57Where do you think you're going?

00:21:59That's your circle.

00:22:01Mine is up there.

00:22:02He followed my gaze to the head circle.

00:22:04His face went pale.

00:22:06Lyra spotted my bracelet from across the ground, and her voice cut through the clearing.

00:22:10Evara, how did she get in here?

00:22:12She's here to cause chaos!

00:22:14How dare she wear that bracelet tonight of all nights!

00:22:17Tonight is the first time Kale is bringing his bonded mate out publicly!

00:22:21Is she trying to humiliate Hela?

00:22:23She slipped past the sentinels!

00:22:25She's trying to make us look disloyal in front of Lord Kale!

00:22:29Ryan, is this female with you?

00:22:32No.

00:22:33Take that bracelet off and get out!

00:22:36You sure you want me to leave?

00:22:38Lyra realized others were watching.

00:22:40Her eyes went vicious.

00:22:42Stop acting like you're something!

00:22:44Take it off!

00:22:44Now!

00:22:45She lunged forward to rip it from my wrist.

00:22:47I swatted her claw away and stepped back.

00:22:49Someone behind me tripped me.

00:22:50I hit the ground hard.

00:22:52Lyra stepped on my arm and ripped the bracelet off my wrist.

00:22:54I'm not treating this like it's something sacred.

00:22:58Trash.

00:23:00My arm screamed.

00:23:01My wrist was bleeding.

00:23:02But I just sat there.

00:23:04Staring at the bracelet lying broken on the ground.

00:23:06Pick her up and throw her out.

00:23:10Stop!

00:23:11I am Kales!

00:23:15Are you going to start spreading rumors that your Lord Kale's kept female?

00:23:19You wish.

00:23:22When I came back to the Reach, I hadn't planned to make a scene.

00:23:25It had felt beneath me.

00:23:26But now, she had made it worth it.

00:23:28Rylan crouched down in front of me.

00:23:30Reached for my wrist.

00:23:31Are you done throwing your fit?

00:23:33You show up wearing the bracelet, dressed down on purpose.

00:23:35You wanted me jealous.

00:23:37Just say it, and I'll give you what you want.

00:23:41Rylan.

00:23:42You're finished.

00:23:43He frowned, opened his mouth, and then the clearing went dead silent.

00:23:47Guests began to straighten themselves, drifting toward the entrance path.

00:23:51Kale is here.

00:23:53Behave yourself.

00:23:56Lyra and I have dissolved our bond, by the way.

00:23:58I stared at him.

00:23:59I was cradling my nearly broken wrist, looking at the male in front of me, thinking-

00:24:03How did I spend seven years on this person?

00:24:06What did his disillation have to do with me?

00:24:08At that exact moment, Kale walked in with our son in his arms.

00:24:12Once they reached the feast grounds, our son squirmed and climbed down.

00:24:15And every eye in the clearing went straight to him.

00:24:18His guardian scrambled after him.

00:24:20If you stop being jealous of Lyra, I'll forgive you for disappearing three years.

00:24:24I'll give you another chance.

00:24:26Carry my hatchling.

00:24:27A real one.

00:24:28Ours.

00:24:29Just come back and tend to my son.

00:24:31I'll get rid of Lyra.

00:24:32I didn't say a single word to him.

00:24:34I just looked past him into the crowd, trying to catch Kale's and our son's eyes.

00:24:38The second my son saw me, something broke open in his face.

00:24:40He threw himself into my arms.

00:24:43Why is there so much blood?

00:24:46The king of gods is fickle.

00:24:48His mortal bastards bring endless chaos.

00:24:51The divine power has cracked.

00:24:53If you do not descend to the mortal world to endure tribulation, Olympus will perish in chaos.

00:25:07The crack stems from the imbalance of your divine estimates.

00:25:10In three days, chaos will devour the divine realm.

00:25:13Only by experiencing mortal love and responsibility can you mend the crack.

00:25:17Descend, or watch Olympus crumble.

00:25:24In three days, I shall descend to the mortal world.

00:25:29What awaits me in the mortal world?

00:25:42Every year on the eve of the harvest festival, unmarried maidens in the city wear white robes and pray to

00:25:48King Zeus for a good marriage.

00:25:55Claudia, you must pray sincerely later.

00:26:00Let the king of gods grant you a noble marriage.

00:26:03Exactly.

00:26:05If you can marry a king or a noble, our family will enjoy endless wealth and glory.

00:26:10Don't worry, parents.

00:26:12I'm so beautiful.

00:26:13The king of gods will definitely favor me and grant me a good husband.

00:26:17Unlike some people.

00:26:18Born with a cheap life, even beggars won't want you.

00:26:24Father, every unmarried woman in the city will go to pray for a good marriage tonight.

00:26:28I... I want to go too.

00:26:34Sister, look at yourself in the mirror.

00:26:36A jinx who killed her own mother and you want to marry a good man?

00:26:39Get out of my sight!

00:26:42What beautiful gems!

00:26:45Give them back to me!

00:26:46They were left to me by my mother!

00:26:48Now they belong to me.

00:26:49Such beautiful gems deserve to be on my shoes.

00:26:52They are my mother's relics!

00:26:54Give them back to me!

00:26:55Ungrateful daughter!

00:26:56They're just two broken stones.

00:26:58If Claudia likes them, give them to her!

00:27:00Claudia, let's hurry up and leave.

00:27:02Don't let this dead ring our time.

00:27:03Don't let this dead girl delay our time.

00:27:08The god king is amorous.

00:27:10His illegitimate children in the mortal world cause constant chaos.

00:27:13And the divine power has cracked.

00:27:15Only by experiencing mortal love and responsibility once

00:27:18can you mend the cracks and restore stability to Olympus.

00:27:21Leah!

00:27:26Give me back my mother's relics!

00:27:29Bitch!

00:27:30Take the relics and go down to see your mother!

00:27:32Ah!

00:27:35Am I going to drown?

00:27:50Am I going to drown?

00:28:03Where am I?

00:28:03Who exactly are you?

00:28:06You are my bride.

00:28:25If I'm found out, I'll be executed for conciding with a god.

00:28:35Congratulations, King of the Gods, on successfully completing your trial.

00:28:39Queen Hera requests your immediate return to Olympus

00:28:40to complete the Coronation Consolidation Ceremony.

00:28:44Understood.

00:28:45Leave.

00:28:51Little lady, you run quite fast.

00:28:55Congratulations, King Zeus, on consolidating your divine power.

00:28:59My king, now that your trial is complete,

00:29:01it is time to choose a goddess as your queen to continue the divine lineage.

00:29:05No need.

00:29:06I already have a wife in the mortal world.

00:29:09That's wonderful.

00:29:09It's hard for you to have heirs, my king,

00:29:11and it takes thousands of years to conceive a child.

00:29:13If she can birth to an ida for you,

00:29:15she will be the greatest contributor in the heavenly realm.

00:29:18This is truly a happy event.

00:29:20A great happy event for the heavenly realm.

00:29:22My king,

00:29:23I am willing to go down to the person in the mortal world

00:29:26to toray the wall for you.

00:29:27Good.

00:29:28I will princely prepare we might see

00:29:30between Houdrine and Detrace to the Nuren wassevers.

00:29:33Yes.

00:29:43Baby, I'm so sorry you have to suffer with me.

00:29:45Bitch!

00:29:46You're slacking off again!

00:29:48Claudia, you've...

00:29:50Useless thing!

00:29:50You haven't finished chopping the firewood yet.

00:29:52We don't feed idols in this house.

00:29:54I got up before dawn to work.

00:29:56I washed your clothes, cooked your meals,

00:29:58chopped your firewood,

00:29:58and I haven't even had a sip of water yet.

00:30:00What more do you want from me?

00:30:03Oh, still thinking you're a noble lady.

00:30:05You have a lady's body, but a servant's fate.

00:30:09All you do is whine when we ask you to do a little work.

00:30:11You're always making your mother and sister angry.

00:30:14Sure enough, a stepmother brings a stepfather.

00:30:16Father, how can you be so biased?

00:30:17I'm also your daughter,

00:30:18but I live worse than a slave in this house.

00:30:20What right do you have to compare yourself to Claudia?

00:30:23Without a match, who knows whose basper you're carrying?

00:30:25You've disgraced our entire family.

00:30:27It's been a whole year.

00:30:28If that woman got pregnant with the king of God's child,

00:30:31she'd be about to give birth by now.

00:30:34Yeah, we've been searching for so long.

00:30:35We've tried almost every eligible woman in Argos,

00:30:37but none of them can fit this shoe.

00:30:41Young lady, if you can put on this shoe,

00:30:43this gold inglik is yours.

00:30:48Not her again.

00:30:51This shoe looks so familiar.

00:30:57I remember!

00:30:58This is the shoe from Leah's house!

00:31:01Leah's house!

00:31:04If you dare to disobey and be unfoal again,

00:31:06I'll throw you into the harbour and drown you!

00:31:10Then when she climbed into your bed

00:31:12while my mother was seriously ill,

00:31:13shouldn't she be stoned to death?

00:31:15How dare you!

00:31:16I'll beat you to death, you little bitch!

00:31:25Mother, we must teach her a lesson today.

00:31:29Stop!

00:31:33Stop!

00:31:35How dare you take a human life in broad daylight!

00:31:38Where did you lowlids come from

00:31:39daring to break into my house?

00:31:41Get out now!

00:31:42Insolence!

00:31:43Kneel before Queen Hera at once!

00:31:48God is sparing!

00:31:49God is sparing!

00:31:52You are the daughter of this family.

00:31:55Is this your shoe?

00:32:00Give them back to me!

00:32:02They were left to me by my mother!

00:32:05Isn't this Leah's shoe?

00:32:09What do you want with the owner of this shoe?

00:32:11Do not be afraid.

00:32:13King Zeus favoured a mortal woman during his trial.

00:32:16This shoe is the token she left behind.

00:32:20What?

00:32:21That bitch Leah actually had such good luck?

00:32:23She spent a night with the God King?

00:32:25Try it on, young lady.

00:32:27If you can wear this shoe,

00:32:28you will be the queen of the gods.

00:32:34I'll put it on right now.

00:32:38Wait a minute!

00:32:40How can a young lady's feet be seen by strangers?

00:32:42Please allow us to try it on inside the house.

00:32:45Very well.

00:32:48You lucky bitch!

00:32:49How dare you climb into the God King's bed!

00:32:53But your good luck will soon be mine.

00:33:00Mother, help me!

00:33:01I can't put it on!

00:33:04The king of gods is fickle.

00:33:06His mortal bastards bring endless chaos.

00:33:09The divine power has cracked.

00:33:11If you do not descend to the mortal world to endure tribulation,

00:33:15Olympus will perish in chaos.

00:33:25The crack stems from the imbalance of your divine estimates.

00:33:28In three days,

00:33:29chaos will devour the divine realm.

00:33:31Only by experiencing mortal love and responsibility

00:33:33can you mend the crack.

00:33:35Descend,

00:33:36or watch Olympus crumble.

00:33:42In three days,

00:33:43I shall descend to the mortal world.

00:33:47What awaits me

00:33:48in the mortal world?

00:33:59Every year on the eve of the harvest festival,

00:34:02unmarried maidens in the city wear white robes

00:34:05and pray to King Zeus for a good marriage.

00:34:13Claudia,

00:34:14you must pray sincerely later.

00:34:18Let the king of gods grant you a noble marriage.

00:34:22Exactly.

00:34:23If you can marry a king or a noble,

00:34:25our family will enjoy endless wealth and glory.

00:34:28Don't worry, parents.

00:34:30I'm so beautiful.

00:34:31The king of gods will definitely favor me

00:34:33and grant me a good husband.

00:34:35Unlike some people.

00:34:36Born with a cheap life,

00:34:38even beggars won't want you.

00:34:41Father,

00:34:43every unmarried woman in the city

00:34:44will go to pray for a good marriage tonight.

00:34:46I...

00:34:46I want to go too.

00:34:52Sister,

00:34:53look at yourself in the mirror.

00:34:54A jinx who killed her own mother

00:34:55and you want to marry a good man?

00:34:57Get out of my sight!

00:35:00What beautiful gems!

00:35:03Give them back to me!

00:35:04They were left to me by my mother!

00:35:06Now they belong to me.

00:35:08Such beautiful gems deserve to be on my shoes.

00:35:10They are my mother's relics!

00:35:12Give them back to me!

00:35:13Ungrateful daughter!

00:35:14They're just two broken stones.

00:35:16If Claudia likes them,

00:35:17give them to her!

00:35:18Claudia,

00:35:19let's hurry up and leave.

00:35:20Don't let this dead ring our time.

00:35:21Don't let this dead girl delay our time.

00:35:25The god-king is amorous.

00:35:27His illegitimate children in the mortal world

00:35:29cause constant chaos

00:35:30and the divine power has cracked.

00:35:33Only by experiencing mortal love

00:35:35and responsibility once

00:35:36can you mend the cracks

00:35:37and restore stability to Olympus.

00:35:39Leah!

00:35:44Give me back my mother's relics!

00:35:47Bitch!

00:35:48Take the relics and go down to see your mother!

00:35:50Ah!

00:35:53Am I

00:35:54going to drown?

00:36:20Where am I?

00:36:21Who exactly are you?

00:36:24You are my bride.

00:36:43If I'm found out,

00:36:44I'll be executed for conciding with a god.

00:36:53Congratulations, King of the Gods,

00:36:54on successfully completing your trial.

00:36:56Queen Hera requests your immediate return to Olympus

00:36:58to complete the Coronation Consolidation Ceremony.

00:37:02Understood.

00:37:03Leave.

00:37:08Little lady,

00:37:10you run quite fast.

00:37:13Congratulations, King Zeus,

00:37:14on consolidating your divine power.

00:37:17My king,

00:37:17now that your trial is complete,

00:37:19it is time to choose a goddess as your queen

00:37:21to continue the divine lineage.

00:37:23No need.

00:37:23I already have a wife in the mortal world.

00:37:26That's wonderful.

00:37:27It's hard for you to have heirs, my king,

00:37:29and it takes thousands of years to conceive a child.

00:37:31If she can birth to an ida for you,

00:37:33she will be the greatest contributor in the heavenly realm.

00:37:35This is truly a happy event.

00:37:38A great happy event for the heavenly realm.

00:37:40My king,

00:37:41I am willing to go down to the person in the mortal world

00:37:44to toray the wall for you.

00:37:45Good.

00:37:46I will princely prepare we might see

00:37:48between Hudrine and Detrace to the Nuren wassevers.

00:37:51Yes.

00:38:00Baby, I'm so sorry you have to suffer with me.

00:38:03Bitch!

00:38:04You're slacking off again!

00:38:06Claudia, you...

00:38:07Useless thing!

00:38:08You haven't finished chopping the firewood yet.

00:38:10We don't feed idols in this house.

00:38:12I got up before dawn to work.

00:38:14I washed your clothes,

00:38:15cooked your meals,

00:38:16chopped your firewood,

00:38:16and I haven't even had a sip of water yet.

00:38:18What more do you want from me?

00:38:21Oh, still thinking you're a noble lady.

00:38:23You have a lady's body,

00:38:24but a servant's fate.

00:38:26All you do is whine

00:38:28when we ask you to do a little work.

00:38:29You're always making your mother and sister angry.

00:38:31Sure enough,

00:38:32a stepmother brings a stepfather.

00:38:33Father, how can you be so biased?

00:38:35I'm also your daughter,

00:38:36but I live worse than a slave in this house.

00:38:38What right do you have

00:38:39to compare yourself to Claudia?

00:38:41Without a match,

00:38:42who knows whose basper you're carrying?

00:38:43You've disgraced our entire family.

00:38:45It's been a whole year.

00:38:46If that woman got pregnant

00:38:47with the King of God's child,

00:38:48she'd be about to give birth by now.

00:38:51Yeah, we've been searching for so long.

00:38:53We've tried almost every eligible woman in Argos,

00:38:55but none of them can fit this shoe.

00:38:59Young lady,

00:39:00if you can put on this shoe,

00:39:01this gold ingleck is yours.

00:39:06Not her again.

00:39:09This shoe looks so familiar.

00:39:15I remember.

00:39:16This is the shoe from Leah's house.

00:39:19Leah's house!

00:39:21If you dare to disobey and be unfole again,

00:39:24I'll throw you into the harbour

00:39:26and drown you.

00:39:28Then when she climbed into your bed

00:39:29while my mother was seriously ill,

00:39:31shouldn't she be stoned to death?

00:39:33How dare you?

00:39:34I'll beat you to death,

00:39:36you little bitch!

00:39:43Mother,

00:39:44we must teach her a lesson today.

00:39:47Stop.

00:39:51Stop.

00:39:53How dare you take a human life

00:39:55in broad daylight?

00:39:56Where did you lowlids come from

00:39:57daring to break into my house?

00:39:59Get out now.

00:40:00Insolence!

00:40:01Kneel before Queen Hera at once.

00:40:06Goddess, spare us!

00:40:07Goddess, spare us!

00:40:10You are the daughter of this family.

00:40:12Is this your shoe?

00:40:18Give them back to me!

00:40:20They were left to me by my mother!

00:40:23Isn't this Leah's shoe?

00:40:26What do you want with the owner of this shoe?

00:40:29Do not be afraid.

00:40:31King Zeus favoured a mortal woman

00:40:32during his trial.

00:40:34This shoe is the token

00:40:35she left behind.

00:40:38What?

00:40:39That bitch Leah

00:40:40actually had such good luck?

00:40:41She spent a night

00:40:42with the God King?

00:40:43Try it on, young lady.

00:40:44If you can wear this shoe,

00:40:46you will be the queen

00:40:48of the gods.

00:40:51I'll put it on right now!

00:40:56Wait a minute!

00:40:57How can a young lady's feet

00:40:59be seen by strangers?

00:41:00Please allow us to try it on

00:41:01inside the house.

00:41:02Very well.

00:41:05You lucky bitch!

00:41:07How dare you climb into

00:41:08the God King's bed!

00:41:10But your good luck

00:41:12will soon be mine.

00:41:18Mother, help me!

00:41:19I can't put it on!

00:41:22I was Luna Celeste's Omega maid.

00:41:24In my last life,

00:41:25she sent me to Alpha Lucian's bed

00:41:27while she was pregnant.

00:41:28Every she-wolf in Silvermoon Pack

00:41:30envied that Lucian loved his Luna

00:41:31more than anything.

00:41:32No one knew I was carrying his pup, too.

00:41:34The night Celeste gave birth to his son,

00:41:36Lucian sent me away.

00:41:37He gave me to an old Beta

00:41:38as his mate.

00:41:39I escaped the carriage,

00:41:40then I fell off a cliff.

00:41:42When I opened my eyes again,

00:41:43I was back on the night Celeste

00:41:44sent me to Lucian's bed.

00:41:45This time,

00:41:46I would climb into the dying

00:41:47Lycan King Kyo's bed instead.

00:41:51I would carry the Lycan King's heir,

00:41:53and I would bury Lucian and Celeste

00:41:54with my own hands.

00:41:56The Moonlight Festival

00:41:56was being held

00:41:57at the Lycan King's palace tonight.

00:41:59As Celeste's maid,

00:42:00I followed her to the Lycan Palace.

00:42:02Halfway through the celebration,

00:42:04Celeste fainted.

00:42:06The healers examined her

00:42:07and announced that she was

00:42:08carrying Lucian's pup.

00:42:10With Alpha Lucian's child.

00:42:12Lucian was overjoyed.

00:42:13He stayed beside her bed

00:42:15and told her sweet words.

00:42:16Celeste leaned against his child

00:42:18Lucian,

00:42:18I'm pregnant now.

00:42:20I won't be able to serve you

00:42:21the way I used to.

00:42:22Lucian's gaze shifted to me.

00:42:23He looked at my waist,

00:42:24my chest,

00:42:25and my face

00:42:26without bothering to hide it.

00:42:27You know I only love you, Celeste.

00:42:29Having you beside me is enough.

00:42:30Morris,

00:42:31step outside.

00:42:31I lowered my head

00:42:32and left the room.

00:42:33The door closed behind me.

00:42:35After Celeste fell asleep,

00:42:36Lucian came out.

00:42:37His dark eyes swept over me,

00:42:38cold and hungry.

00:42:39Then he lifted my chin.

00:42:41Celeste says you're obedient.

00:42:44Then do as she says.

00:42:46Come to my bed tonight.

00:42:48He released me

00:42:49and walked away.

00:42:50The other maid, Ivy's face,

00:42:51changed the moment he was gone.

00:42:53You slut.

00:42:54You wore that thin dress

00:42:55on purpose?

00:42:56You wanted Alpha Lucian

00:42:58to see you.

00:42:58That neckline,

00:42:59that waist,

00:43:00that innocent face.

00:43:01Only whores dress like that.

00:43:03Ivy did not know

00:43:04that from the day

00:43:04Celeste suspected

00:43:05she was pregnant,

00:43:06she had been choosing my dresses

00:43:07as she wanted Lucian

00:43:08to notice me.

00:43:09Come in.

00:43:10Celeste called.

00:43:10I entered with Ivy.

00:43:12Celeste sat by the bed,

00:43:13her voice gentle enough

00:43:14to fool anyone.

00:43:15Maris,

00:43:15you've been with me

00:43:16for 13 years.

00:43:17You're the maid

00:43:18who has served me

00:43:19the longest.

00:43:20My lady!

00:43:21This slut tried

00:43:22to seduce the Alpha!

00:43:23You should kill her!

00:43:24Celeste smiled.

00:43:26Ivy,

00:43:27Maris is a good girl.

00:43:28Stop treating her

00:43:29like an enemy.

00:43:31Alpha Lucian has gone

00:43:31to the Lycan King's

00:43:32private chamber.

00:43:33Prepare yourself

00:43:34and go serve him tonight.

00:43:36In my last life,

00:43:38it had happened

00:43:38exactly like this.

00:43:39I thought Celeste meant

00:43:40I would pour wine

00:43:41and prepare his bath.

00:43:44Instead,

00:43:45Lucian pinned me

00:43:45to the wet floor

00:43:46and took me by force.

00:43:49From that night on,

00:43:50whenever he wanted me,

00:43:51I had to undress.

00:43:53When Celeste was close

00:43:53to giving birth,

00:43:54the healer told me

00:43:55I was pregnant.

00:43:56Celeste promised

00:43:57that after my pup was born,

00:43:58she would give me a room.

00:43:59She told me not to tell Lucian

00:44:01that I was pregnant yet.

00:44:02I believed her words

00:44:03and waited for Celeste

00:44:04to give birth first.

00:44:06At least then,

00:44:06I would have a place

00:44:07and my pup would not

00:44:08be born with nothing.

00:44:09Back then,

00:44:10I truly thought Celeste

00:44:11was kind to me.

00:44:12Once her pup was born,

00:44:13I would serve him

00:44:14with even more devotion.

00:44:15My child would only be

00:44:17a low-born pup,

00:44:18meant to support Celeste's heir.

00:44:20After Celeste gave birth,

00:44:21I waited happily

00:44:22for the promise she had made.

00:44:23But when Alpha Lucian

00:44:24came to see me,

00:44:25his first words

00:44:26broke my heart.

00:44:27Celeste gave me a hair

00:44:28and nearly died for it.

00:44:29For her sake,

00:44:30I cannot let you stay.

00:44:31You're too filthy.

00:44:33Send her to the border camp.

00:44:34Thinking of what happened

00:44:35in my last life,

00:44:36I clenched my fists.

00:44:37I have died once,

00:44:39so I can't let that

00:44:40happen again.

00:44:41I left Celeste's room

00:44:43and walked toward

00:44:43the Lycan King's chamber.

00:44:45Outside the doors,

00:44:46I heard two guards whispering,

00:44:47The King and Alpha Lucian

00:44:48are drinking inside.

00:44:49Go tell the She-Wolves

00:44:50to Prince Side.

00:44:51Whoever earns

00:44:52the Lycan King's favor tonight

00:44:53will depend on

00:44:54in her own luck.

00:44:56Rumor said

00:44:57the Lycan King's body

00:44:58had been ruined.

00:44:59Everyone wanted him

00:45:00to name Alpha Lucian

00:45:01as his heir.

00:45:02They seemed close

00:45:03as brothers,

00:45:03but the King

00:45:04had never given Lucian

00:45:05that title.

00:45:07The Lycan King

00:45:08was only twenty-five.

00:45:09As a young wolf,

00:45:10he had been brilliant

00:45:11and ruthless.

00:45:12In five years

00:45:12on the throne,

00:45:13he had destroyed

00:45:14four rogue packs,

00:45:15but a rebellion

00:45:16had damaged his body

00:45:17and wolf,

00:45:17so everyone called him

00:45:18the Dying King.

00:45:19If I became

00:45:20the Dying King's mistress,

00:45:22it would be better

00:45:23than dying as Lucian's secret.

00:45:25The royal steward

00:45:26came out of the chamber.

00:45:28You're from Silvermoon Pack?

00:45:29I lowered my head.

00:45:31Yes.

00:45:31Alpha Lucian

00:45:32and the King

00:45:32are both drunk.

00:45:33Go in and serve them.

00:45:33Alpha Lucian

00:45:34will sleep in the

00:45:34side chamber tonight.

00:45:35I nodded

00:45:36and walked inside

00:45:37with him.

00:45:38Lucian was already

00:45:39drunk enough

00:45:40to be unconscious.

00:45:41The steward and I

00:45:41helped him

00:45:42into the side chamber.

00:45:43Before I left,

00:45:44I looked once

00:45:44at the Lycan King.

00:45:45His profile was handsome,

00:45:47cold,

00:45:47and proud.

00:45:48He was also drunk,

00:45:49and another maid

00:45:50was helping him

00:45:50toward his bedchamber.

00:45:52Then the young steward

00:45:53left,

00:45:53and I stayed

00:45:54in Lucian's chamber.

00:45:55I kept far away

00:45:56from Lucian

00:45:56and waited

00:45:57for the sounds outside.

00:45:58I heard a beautiful

00:45:59she-wolf

00:45:59ran with crying.

00:46:01After a long silence,

00:46:02I finally opened the door

00:46:03and slipped

00:46:03into Kale's bedroom,

00:46:04but Kale was not

00:46:05in his bed.

00:46:06I remembered

00:46:07something Lucian

00:46:08had mentioned

00:46:08in my last life.

00:46:09The king liked

00:46:10to go to the moon garden,

00:46:11so I went there.

00:46:12Kale stood under

00:46:13an old silver tree.

00:46:14He was looking up

00:46:15at the night sky.

00:46:16When he heard me,

00:46:17he turned around.

00:46:18By then,

00:46:19I had already taken off

00:46:20my maid's clothes

00:46:21and worn a dress.

00:46:23I moved my body

00:46:24so he would see

00:46:25my curves

00:46:25and softness.

00:46:27Kale's eyes darkened.

00:46:28You are Lucian's maid.

00:46:35Your Highness,

00:46:36I am Luna Celeste's maid.

00:46:39Tonight,

00:46:40she sent me

00:46:40to serve Alpha Lucian,

00:46:43but I admire

00:46:44your highness.

00:46:45If I must give myself

00:46:47to someone,

00:46:48I only want

00:46:49to serve you.

00:46:50Just as I expected,

00:46:51Kale reached out

00:46:52and caught my waist.

00:46:53He pulled me

00:46:53into his arms.

00:46:54In the next second,

00:46:55his tall body

00:46:56pressed over mine.

00:46:57Oh?

00:46:58You think my dying body

00:47:00is better than Lucian's?

00:47:02Your Highness,

00:47:03you are the most

00:47:04powerful wolf

00:47:04in this realm.

00:47:05In my heart,

00:47:06you are much better

00:47:07than Alpha Lucian.

00:47:08If Alpha Lucian

00:47:09wanted me dead,

00:47:10I would curse him

00:47:10as I died.

00:47:11But if your highness

00:47:12wanted my life,

00:47:12I would kneel

00:47:13and give it to you.

00:47:17Everyone is waiting

00:47:18for me to die

00:47:18so Lucian may have

00:47:19a chance

00:47:20to take the throne.

00:47:21Except me,

00:47:22your highness.

00:47:23You are the one

00:47:23and only Lion King.

00:47:25I used everything

00:47:26I had to tempt

00:47:27and please him.

00:47:28Maybe it was the wine.

00:47:29Hale was far more

00:47:30excited than I expected.

00:47:32Then he carried me

00:47:33back to his room

00:47:34and kept going

00:47:34until dawn.

00:47:36By the time

00:47:37the night was over,

00:47:38I could barely stand up.

00:47:39Who said the king

00:47:39was too frail

00:47:40to even get hard?

00:47:46Before dawn,

00:47:47I returned to Celeste's room.

00:47:49She was waiting for me.

00:47:53Where is Alpha Lucian?

00:47:55Alpha Lucian

00:47:56is still asleep.

00:47:56Was there any maid

00:47:57with him?

00:47:58My lady,

00:47:58please don't worry.

00:47:59Alpha Lucian slept

00:48:00in the side chamber.

00:48:01Without the Lycan King's order,

00:48:02no one dared to go in.

00:48:03I knew she was afraid

00:48:04Lucian had touched

00:48:05someone else while drunk.

00:48:06Then I stepped closer

00:48:07to Celeste

00:48:07to let her see

00:48:08the marks on my neck.

00:48:10As expected,

00:48:11pain flashed through her eyes,

00:48:12her fingers curled

00:48:13into tight fists.

00:48:14Maris,

00:48:15you are a good girl.

00:48:16I feel safe

00:48:17leaving Alpha to you.

00:48:18But Ivy's face

00:48:19twisted with anger.

00:48:21My lady,

00:48:21look at this dirty whore!

00:48:23Her dress is a mess

00:48:24and her lips look like

00:48:25a man biting them!

00:48:27After years of serving Celeste,

00:48:29I knew one thing clearly.

00:48:32Lucian never kissed Celeste

00:48:33like that.

00:48:36My lady,

00:48:37I...

00:48:37Celeste had given her a look.

00:48:40Filthy maid!

00:48:41How could you do this

00:48:41to Lady Celeste?

00:48:42She treated you like a sister

00:48:43and kept you by her side

00:48:44for 13 years.

00:48:45But you still climbed

00:48:46into Alpha Lucian's bed

00:48:47like a shameless whore!

00:48:48Alpha Lucian walked in.

00:48:49Ivy opened her mouth

00:48:50to complain.

00:48:51Celeste gave her

00:48:52one quick glance

00:48:52and Ivy shut up at once.

00:48:54She still believed

00:48:55Lucian slept with me

00:48:56last night

00:48:56and his eyes swept over me.

00:48:58Was it you

00:48:59who served me last night?

00:49:03Yes.

00:49:04He didn't say a word

00:49:04but pulled Celeste

00:49:05into his arms.

00:49:07Celeste,

00:49:08you need rest.

00:49:09Let Maris help me dress

00:49:10before the council meeting.

00:49:11Yes.

00:49:12One tender word

00:49:13from Lucian

00:49:13was enough

00:49:14to make her blush.

00:49:15I followed Lucian

00:49:16into the dressing room

00:49:17and I helped him

00:49:17put on his council gown.

00:49:19Lucian brushed my hair away.

00:49:20from my neck

00:49:21then he saw the marks

00:49:22on my skin.

00:49:23It seems I was rough

00:49:24with you last night.

00:49:26I did not tell him

00:49:27that someone had served him

00:49:28last night.

00:49:28It just had not been me.

00:49:30Lucian's fingers

00:49:30ozed around my waist

00:49:31and I stepped back

00:49:32at once.

00:49:33Your Luna cannot serve me

00:49:34while she carries my pup.

00:49:38From now on

00:49:39you must take

00:49:40good care of me.

00:49:46Alpha Lucian,

00:49:47the council is waiting

00:49:48for you.

00:49:50I will come back

00:49:51to you later.

00:49:53After Lucian left,

00:49:55Celeste called me

00:49:56back into her room.

00:49:57My boots need cleaning.

00:49:58I looked at the silver

00:49:59trimmed boots

00:49:59beneath her dress.

00:50:01Once,

00:50:01I washed them

00:50:02every night.

00:50:02Ivy brought over

00:50:03a basin of hot water.

00:50:04Before you touch

00:50:05Luna Celeste,

00:50:06wash the filthy

00:50:07cell off your hands.

00:50:10She grabbed my wrists

00:50:11and shoved them

00:50:12into the basin.

00:50:12The water was boiling

00:50:13and silver powder

00:50:14burned like fire

00:50:15against my skin.

00:50:16I struggled hard.

00:50:17Then the basin

00:50:18overturned and splashed

00:50:19across Celeste's feet.

00:50:22You filthy maid!

00:50:23You think after

00:50:24climbing into

00:50:25Alpha Lucian's bed

00:50:26you can step over

00:50:26Lady Celeste?

00:50:28Several maids rushed in

00:50:29and saw the mess.

00:50:32Maris,

00:50:33from now on

00:50:34you do not have

00:50:34to serve me anymore.

00:50:36After all,

00:50:36you are Alpha Lucian's

00:50:39woman now.

00:50:41My lady,

00:50:42do not worry.

00:50:43I will always

00:50:44be loyal to you.

00:50:45Everything she has

00:50:46come from you

00:50:47and she has

00:50:48betrayed you.

00:50:49I only wanted

00:50:49everyone to think

00:50:50I had become

00:50:51arrogant and ungrateful.

00:50:52I knelt and

00:50:53bowed to Celeste.

00:50:54My lady will

00:50:54always be my mistress.

00:50:56I will obey

00:50:57every order you

00:50:57give me.

00:51:00My fated maid

00:51:01threw our son

00:51:02into the underground

00:51:03Coliseum.

00:51:03She tossed him

00:51:04to the rogue wolves

00:51:05like a piece of trash.

00:51:06The nobles of the

00:51:07capital watched his

00:51:07suffering for

00:51:08entertainment.

00:51:09Betting on his death

00:51:09for three days

00:51:10and nights

00:51:11he fought those

00:51:11rogues without

00:51:12and this was the

00:51:13reward waiting for

00:51:13me after 18 years

00:51:14of war.

00:51:15A son tortured

00:51:16to the brink of

00:51:17death and a false

00:51:18charge of treason.

00:51:19Callum,

00:51:19my mate

00:51:20Selina's former

00:51:20servant,

00:51:21rose from her

00:51:22secret lover

00:51:22to lord regent.

00:51:23He sneered at me

00:51:24calling me a

00:51:25brainless savage

00:51:25who only knew

00:51:26war.

00:51:26Their bastard

00:51:27son,

00:51:27Adrian,

00:51:28went even

00:51:28further.

00:51:29They framed him

00:51:29for forging his

00:51:30wolf soul

00:51:31stealing his

00:51:31position as crown prince.

00:51:32He forced my

00:51:33cereal to drink

00:51:34wolfsbane,

00:51:34but they forgot

00:51:35one thing.

00:51:36Every bit of

00:51:36glory they enjoyed

00:51:37today existed

00:51:38because of me.

00:51:3818 years,

00:51:39as I looked at

00:51:40the city gates

00:51:41just ahead,

00:51:41my heart heavy

00:51:42with guilt.

00:51:43Now,

00:51:43those beasts

00:51:43were wiped out.

00:51:44What should have

00:51:44welcomed me home

00:51:45was applause

00:51:46and celebration.

00:51:47Instead,

00:51:48standing beside

00:51:48Selina atop

00:51:49the city walls

00:51:50were two arrogant

00:51:50men,

00:51:51not our son

00:51:51I missed

00:51:52for 18 years.

00:51:54Selina looked

00:51:54down at me

00:51:55from above.

00:51:56Reno,

00:51:57you conquered

00:51:57the northern borders.

00:51:59Your victory

00:52:00brought eternal

00:52:00glory to the

00:52:01silver moon kingdom.

00:52:02Your majesty,

00:52:03I've been away

00:52:03from home for

00:52:0418 years.

00:52:05I earned my

00:52:05name with blood.

00:52:06Right now,

00:52:07I only want

00:52:08to see my son

00:52:08Cyril.

00:52:09Selina's eyes

00:52:10turned cold.

00:52:10The unfamiliar

00:52:11man beside her

00:52:12stepped forward,

00:52:13his voice dripping

00:52:13with arrogance.

00:52:14Reno,

00:52:15how dare you

00:52:16interrupt the

00:52:16alpha queen?

00:52:17Kneel and beg

00:52:17for mercy!

00:52:18I narrowed my

00:52:19eyes and studied

00:52:19him.

00:52:20And who

00:52:20exactly are

00:52:21you?

00:52:21What gives

00:52:22you the right

00:52:22to stand

00:52:23beside the

00:52:23alpha queen?

00:52:24As the alpha

00:52:24queen,

00:52:25royal bloodlines

00:52:26are everything.

00:52:26She looked

00:52:27at the young

00:52:27man beside her

00:52:28with deep

00:52:28affection.

00:52:29During the

00:52:2918 years you

00:52:30were away,

00:52:30I let Callum

00:52:31mark me.

00:52:32Together,

00:52:32we had Adrian.

00:52:33For years,

00:52:34Callum has

00:52:34endured endless

00:52:35rumors and

00:52:35criticism.

00:52:36Being the

00:52:36Lord Regent

00:52:37is not

00:52:37enough.

00:52:37I've

00:52:38decided to

00:52:38name him

00:52:39Prince

00:52:39Consort.

00:52:40As for

00:52:40you,

00:52:41once our

00:52:42mate bond

00:52:42is dissolved,

00:52:43you can

00:52:43continue serving

00:52:44as the

00:52:44commander of

00:52:45the Black

00:52:45Iron Legion.

00:52:46My grip

00:52:46tightened

00:52:47around the

00:52:47hilt of

00:52:47my sword.

00:52:48I ground

00:52:48my teeth.

00:52:49Selina,

00:52:50are you

00:52:50discarding

00:52:50me now?

00:52:51Everyone

00:52:51knows you

00:52:51got that

00:52:52throne

00:52:52because of

00:52:52me.

00:52:53Now you

00:52:53want a

00:52:53pathetic

00:52:53letic lover

00:52:54to take

00:52:54my place?

00:52:55How dare

00:52:55you?

00:52:56I took

00:52:56this throne

00:52:57with my

00:52:57own

00:52:57strength.

00:52:58You

00:52:58had

00:52:58nothing

00:52:58to do

00:52:59with it.

00:52:59After

00:53:00becoming

00:53:00regent,

00:53:01Callum

00:53:01devoted

00:53:02himself

00:53:02to

00:53:02governing

00:53:03Silvermoon

00:53:03Kingdom.

00:53:04He

00:53:05earned

00:53:05this

00:53:05position.

00:53:06But

00:53:06you?

00:53:07You

00:53:17speech,

00:53:17I almost
