Short filmTranscript
00:00On the day of my marking ceremony, my mate Alex Burke and my sister Rose Roth are caught mating in
00:09the dressing room.
00:11This renders me laughing stock of the entire pack.
00:14While I'm drowning in humility, the alpha Nate Hyland steps forward and marks me in front of everyone.
00:28After we get married, Nate treats me exceptionally well.
00:31However, we're never able to conceive a pup.
00:34Eventually, I turn to IVF and finally get pregnant.
00:38Nate becomes even more attentive to me.
00:40He even calls me darling in his sleep.
00:43I think this is a blessing from the moon goddess.
00:45This continued until I hear the conversation between Nate and his beta one day.
00:50How could you, Nate?
00:52Luna Diana adores you and cares for you so much.
00:54But just because Rose is scared of pain and doesn't want to go through pregnancy,
00:57you secretly switch their eggs and made Luna Diana carry her child?
01:01The pup is due in two months.
01:02What are you going to do about this?
01:04When the pup is born, I'll hand him to Rose and let her live out her dream of being a
01:08mother.
01:08I'll tell Diana the pup was stillborn.
01:10She's just an abandoned Omega.
01:12Staying with her for life is compensation enough.
01:14So all the love and tenderness he showed me is fake.
01:17I immediately schedule an abortion, as I don't want this filthy pup.
01:20And I am certainly not holding on to this sham of a marriage either.
01:24I may be an Omega, but I am no one's pawn.
01:30How could you do this?
01:32Aren't you afraid that Luna Diana will notice?
01:34There was a long moment of silence before Nate Hyrand replied coolly.
01:38She won't find out.
01:39Why are you so sure?
01:41She depends on me completely.
01:43He sounded so sure of himself as he said that without hesitation.
01:48She'll believe whatever I tell her.
01:51Then I hope you won't live to regret it.
01:53Nate let out a light and relaxed chuckle, like there was nothing to worry about.
01:57That day will never come.
01:59The truth was unimaginably cruel.
02:01I stood outside the meeting room with my nails digging so hard into my palm that they drew blood.
02:05But at that moment, I didn't feel a thing.
02:08I had come to bring Nate his cloak.
02:09The northern winds had turned bitter these past few days, and I didn't want him catching a cold while patrolling
02:14the territory.
02:15Now, it felt like a wolf's claw had torn straight through my chest and the freezing wind was slicing through
02:20the raw wound.
02:21My wolf howled in my mind, feeling my pain.
02:24I staggered back to the villa we shared and collapsed onto the rug before the fireplace.
02:29I curled up tightly and hugged myself as my whole body shook.
02:33The tears just wouldn't stop.
02:36Suddenly, the door opened.
02:38Nate was back.
02:42His heavy boots clomped on the rug and drew closer to me.
02:45Soon, he was crouched over me.
02:47His voice was low and gentle as he spoke, full of the usual warmth and concern I'd grown used to.
02:53Why didn't you ask the modes to light the fire?
02:55The butler said you haven't eaten today.
02:57He also said you didn't look too well.
02:59He reached out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear, frowning worriedly.
03:04Tell me what's wrong, Diana.
03:06Then, he took my hand in his.
03:08It was just as warm as always, he added.
03:11You need to eat something.
03:12Our pup is counting on you for nourishment.
03:15I looked up at him.
03:16The tender expression he showed on his face was flawless.
03:20So this was how convincing an alpha's love could look, even when it was all an act.
03:25Four years ago, my fated mate Alex Burke and my younger sister Rose Roth were caught kissing during my marking
03:31ceremony.
03:32My parents forced me to step aside.
03:34They said Rose and I shared the same blood and that it wasn't worth causing a rift over a single
03:38male werewolf.
03:39They publicly claimed that the invitations they had sent out contained a mistake.
03:43They further clarified that the marking ceremony was actually for Rose.
03:50As I was drowning in humiliation, Nate stepped out and took my hand.
03:55Without hesitation, he marked me by biting down on my neck in front of everyone.
03:59I once believed he was my savior who rescued me from shame and scorn.
04:08After marrying Nate, I gave it all up.
04:11I quit the guild and devoted myself to supporting him as his Luna.
04:15I worked hard to build up our pack.
04:17While using my knowledge of the southern tribes and their resources, I helped him strategize and plan.
04:23In just a few years, I helped him transform a collapsing minor pack into a powerful rising force in the
04:29south.
04:30This year, we finally conceived our heir through IVF.
04:33Everything was falling into place.
04:34Nate had held me close.
04:36The pup is a gift from the moon goddess.
04:38The love in his eyes made me willing to give him everything.
04:41My body and my soul.
04:43For him and our pup.
04:44But now, I finally understood that it had all been a carefully woven lie.
04:48If he could pretend to be so loving, then why couldn't I?
04:53I closed my eyes.
04:55When I opened them again, they mirrored the same warmth he showed me.
04:59I'm fine.
05:00I'm just a bit tired.
05:02My voice was soft and sweet, even sounding a little playful.
05:06It betrayed none of what I truly felt inside.
05:08Nate visibly relaxed as he patted the back of my hand.
05:11That's good.
05:12I'll have the butler bring in someone to give you a massage.
05:15In my mind, I scoffed and thought,
05:17All right, then.
05:18My wolf and I will keep up the act for three more days.
05:22In three more days, this ends for good.
05:27The next morning, Nate accompanied me to the Royal Healing Center for a pre-nental check-up.
05:32Alpha Nate is so responsible.
05:34It's very rare for someone as busy as he is
05:36to take the time to care for his mate like this.
05:38This is the moon goddess' blessing we've waited so long for.
05:41Of course, I'll protect both mother and child.
05:43As we stepped out of the examination room,
05:45we ran into Rose.
05:46She was wrapped in a loose-fitting gold cloak that concealed her figure.
05:51Still, she stuck her belly out proudly.
05:54When she saw me, there was a flicker of snug satisfaction in her eyes that she couldn't hide.
05:59I stared at her stomach without a word.
06:03No wonder she kept saying things like,
06:07What a coincidence.
06:08We conceived around the same time.
06:10She had known about Nate's plan all along.
06:12Rose walked over trinketely.
06:14The voice was soft and sweet as she asked,
06:20Why won't you let me touch you?
06:24My stomach!
06:26It hurts!
06:32Rose was stunned, and the smugness faded from her expression instantly.
06:36Nate immediately reached out to stable me, his face tense.
06:40Maybe you've been standing too long.
06:41Why don't you sit over there for a bit?
06:43His words were full of concern, but I clearly saw him lock eyes with Rose.
06:47He directed a subtle shake of his head at her.
06:54I want to use the press room.
06:57No.
06:59Don't follow me.
07:01All right.
07:02Just take it slow.
07:06As soon as the restroom door shut behind me,
07:09I peeked out the window and saw him hurrying off.
07:13I knew exactly where he was going.
07:17He was hurrying to catch up with Rose.
07:37I quietly followed and hid behind a clump of tall grass.
07:42From there, I could hear him speaking to her in a low, coaxing tone,
07:45like he was calming a wolf pup.
07:47Rose frowned and complained like a spoiled pup.
07:50Have you fallen for her?
07:52She was about to smack me just now, and you didn't say a word!
07:56Nate let out a soft sigh, relenting and giving in to her.
08:00I'm just looking out for her because she's carrying our pup now.
08:04He then pulled a small box from his coat and opened it.
08:07Inside was a diamond-stuckled bracelet.
08:10He gently slipped it onto her wrist.
08:11It just arrived this morning.
08:13Nate said dauntingly.
08:15Rose's expression softened a bit.
08:17She smiled and leaned into his arm like a spoiled pup.
08:20Remember that gem mine you mentioned?
08:22I bought the mining rights.
08:23I made a nice profit, too.
08:26Keep an eye out for more good opportunities for me, won't you?
08:29As I stood at a distance, the wind carried their conversation to my ears.
08:35Suddenly, it all felt laughably absurd.
08:39Nate was using everything I had given him to win over another she-wolf.
08:49When I got back home, I pulled out my phone and called my former personal healer, David Efrat.
08:53I went straight to the point.
08:56Hey, David.
08:57It's been a while.
08:58I'd like to schedule a procedure with you tomorrow.
09:01An abortion.
09:02Understood.
09:03We'll be ready first thing in the morning tomorrow.
09:09Are you going out tomorrow?
09:11I signed up for prenatal yoga.
09:13Thought I'd get my body moving a bit.
09:14I want the pup to come into the world without a hiccup.
09:18What?
09:19Don't feel like joining me?
09:22It's not that.
09:24I just don't want you to overdo it.
09:28There's an elders' council meeting tomorrow.
09:29Could we go next week instead?
09:32That's all right.
09:33Your work is more important.
09:34I'll be fine on my own.
09:36You're so sweet.
09:37Where else could I find a mate as considerate as you?
09:39What would I even do without you?
09:40So all the love and tenderness he showed me is fake.
09:44I immediately schedule an abortion, as I don't want this filthy pup.
09:48And I am certainly not holding on to this sham of a marriage either.
09:53I may be an omega, but I am no one's pawn.
09:58The next day, Nate suddenly pulled out a delicate pink diamond pendant strung on a fine platinum thread just before
10:04leaving the house.
10:05With gentle hands, he clasped it around my neck.
10:07Happy anniversary.
10:09He said in a low and warm voice, which was as intoxicating as always.
10:12I looked down and realized that it was the same pendant that had been included as a free gift.
10:20With the diamond bracelet he had given Rose.
10:25My fingers trembled as I touched it, and I felt a sharp pain in my heart.
10:32Still, I kept the smile plastered on my face and replied sweetly,
10:36Happy anniversary.
10:37I love it.
10:38He kissed my forehead.
10:39His voice was filled with the same doting affection.
10:42You're so agreeable, Diana.
10:44You always give me peace of mind.
10:49Before heading to the private healing center, I decided to make a quick detour home to see my parents.
10:58What makes Diana think she's so great?
11:00She hit my hand yesterday, and she's supposed to be my sister.
11:03She won't get to be smoked for long.
11:05But just other, didn't we already get her to give up her mate when you wanted him?
11:08Nate is yours too.
11:09You need to stop making trouble.
11:10You're already married to Alex.
11:12If his parents find out about this baby, things will blow up.
11:14If he wants to break your mate bond, even Alpha Nate can't protect you.
11:17Don't worry, Rose.
11:18Here are the test results from yesterday.
11:20Everything's fine with Diana's pregnancy.
11:22We just have to wait for the pup to arrive.
11:24Don't worry, Mr. and Mrs. Roth.
11:26I'd do anything for Rose.
11:28I felt my blood run cold.
11:30It was followed by an intense burst of pain in my heart.
11:33It made me feel as if I was being split apart.
11:34So they had all planned this together, and I was the only one left in the dark.
11:38From the beginning, I was just a tool and nothing more than an expendable peace in someone else's game.
11:43My wolf lit out a devastated howl and collapsed like she was torn and tampered by countless enemies in our
11:48shade mind space.
11:50She was too broken even to stand.
11:55Not long after, a maid knocked gently on the door and came in to serve drinks.
11:59Nate opened the door and reached out to take the tray.
12:01The next moment, he froze in horror as his eyes of a glittering thread on the floor.
12:04There on the ground lay a snapped platinum necklace.
12:06It was the very one he had clasped around my neck that morning.
12:08His face went pale.
12:10His adamant jol bobbed as he swallowed hard.
12:36He tried to reach me through our mind link over and over again.
12:39Diana, where are you? Listen to me.
12:44Diana, don't do this! Where the hell are you?!
12:46Luna Diana, we're ready for the procedure. Please follow me.
12:53Procedure! What procedure? Where are you? What are you doing?!
12:56He was full-on screaming now.
12:58I could hear the utter fear and despair in his panicked-up voice.
13:06I sat quietly, listening to his anguished wails.
13:09Then, without a word, I drank the potion I'd bought from the witch to sever the non-unlink between us.
13:16From that moment on, neither he nor those heartless, backstabbing family members of mine would ever sense me again.
13:22None of them would ever find me again.
13:29As I sat on the bed at the private healing center, I listened to my best friend, Laura O'Brien,
13:35whispering beside me.
13:37Don't worry. It's all arranged. Everything will go exactly as you planned.
13:43Okay.
13:55Diana, I need to confirm your decision one last time before the procedure.
14:00The pup is nearly full-term.
14:02Terminating the pregnancy at this stage will cause significant harm to your body.
14:06It wasn't easy for you to conceive this pup, either.
14:08Are you absolutely sure about this?
14:10I'm sure.
14:14Don't you have any family here with you?
14:15With me, I let out a soft, bitter laugh.
14:18Those so-called loved ones who always claimed to act in my interest were the very one that came behind
14:23my back.
14:24They had lied to me and passfaded me,
14:26all while waiting for me to give birth so they could hand my pup over to someone else.
14:30No one.
14:34Take Luma Diana to the operating room.
14:49After the surgery and before I had fully regained consciousness,
14:52a familiar voice reached my ears.
14:55Nate's been trying to reach you non-stop through the mind link.
14:58When he couldn't get through, he called me.
15:00I gave him a fake location, but I don't think it'll fool him for long.
15:03How are you feeling?
15:05I'll go get the doctor.
15:06I froze for a moment and instinctively placed a hand on my now flat belly.
15:10My fingers lingered on the cooled skin, as if trying to sense something,
15:13or maybe I was just unconsciously searching.
15:16Do you regret it?
15:18I didn't answer.
15:19I just slowly clenched my hand until I felt a dull pain in my palm,
15:22then slowly let go.
15:23Regret?
15:24Not even close.
15:26There was only disgust.
15:27I was disgusted at the lies and also at myself for not realizing sooner.
15:31But thankfully, I didn't let them win.
15:35Not even a little.
15:36I reached for the drawer beside the bed and pulled out a document I had kept hidden for a long
15:41time.
15:41I've already filled out the application.
15:45Nate, prepare to suffer everything I will bring down on you.
15:53From that moment on, I was no longer the Diana who had to obey them and constantly sacrifice.
15:58I was simply...
16:00I was simply me.
16:05Lara took it and flipped it open.
16:07The moment she saw its contents, her expression froze.
16:10Is this an official request for the Alpha King to arbitrate?
16:16Send it to the Central Arbitration Court now.
16:19Just saying no wasn't enough to break a mate bond with an Alpha of a pack.
16:23Not to mention that Nate would never agree to it either.
16:27Sure.
16:29By the way, those moonstone mines you asked me to buy under my name have gone up in value.
16:33I'll transfer them to you later.
16:35Alright.
16:41After a moment of silence, suddenly let out a soft laugh.
16:45A cold glit flashed as I told Laura.
16:48Don't let them find out too soon.
16:50Let me recover first.
16:52Then I'll settle the score, one by one.
16:56The next evening, hurried footsteps echoed outside my room late at night.
17:03I closed my eyes, inhaled deeply, and clutched the blanket wrapped around me.
17:09They had come, after all.
17:15The door flap is flung open.
17:17Diana, how could you be so reckless?
17:19You've misunderstood.
17:21I had my reasons for doing that.
17:23Reasons?
17:24What kind of reasons?
17:26Like how you planned to hand over my pup to someone else?
17:29Or how you held my hand in the day and comfort her through the night?
17:37How dare you, Diana?
17:38Do you know what I have to face now that you got rid of the baby?
17:41How could you?
17:45What I do is none of your business.
17:47You should worry about you'll even be able to give birth in a few months.
17:50Who knows what will happen.
17:57You, I don't know what you're talking about.
18:00My baby!
18:04Before she could finish, I looked away from her impatiently.
18:08My gaze swept over everyone in the tent, finally landing on my so-called family, whose faces were full of
18:15indignance.
18:15It was no surprise that they would be here, too.
18:21The door flap is flung open.
18:23Diana, how could you be so reckless?
18:25You've misunderstood.
18:26I had my reasons for doing that.
18:28Reasons?
18:29What kind of reasons?
18:31Like how you planned to hand over my pup to someone else?
18:34Or how you held my hand in the day and comfort her through the night?
18:42How dare you, Diana?
18:44Diana, do you know what I have to face now that you got rid of the baby?
18:47How could you?
18:50What I do is none of your business.
18:52You should worry about you'll even be able to give birth in a few months.
18:56Who knows what will happen.
19:03You, I don't know what you're talking about.
19:05My baby!
19:10Before she could finish, I looked away from her impatiently.
19:14My gaze swept over everyone in the tent, finally landing on my so-called family, whose faces were full of
19:20indignance.
19:21It was no surprise that they would be here, too.
19:30Mom stormed up to my bedside, her voice shaking with fury.
19:34Diana, do you know what you're doing?
19:36How could you make such a huge decision without telling us?
19:39The pup is innocent.
19:40Even if you didn't want it, you didn't have to go this far.
19:43You took away its life so cruelly.
19:47You picked the perfect moment to care about what I want.
19:50Did you ask me when you forced me to give up on my fated mate?
19:53Did you ask when you told me to carry this pup and hand it to Rose?
20:02And now you're asking if I knew what I was doing?
20:04Don't worry, Mr. and Mrs. Roth.
20:05I'd do anything for Rose.
20:07Sorry.
20:08I was just doing what you taught me, and that is to make my own choices.
20:20Diana, do you really want to go this far?
20:30I glanced at it.
20:32It was the official request I had asked Lara to send for me.
20:36The one to break the mate bond between Nate and me.
20:48Did I not make myself clear?
20:55You'll regret this.
20:58Regret?
20:59My only regret is not seeing your true colors sooner.
21:07I'm disappointed in you, Diana, just for this petty thing.
21:10You're going against the entire family.
21:12Since you've made up your mind, then from this day and then from this day onward, you
21:15are no longer a part of the Roth family.
21:19Just what I wanted.
21:21The room fell silent.
21:23Finally, the truth was laid bare and the facade was no more.
21:28I leaned back against the sheephead blanket, my fingers slowly curling inward.
21:32Staring at the pale walls for the first time, I felt light.
21:38I wondered why my parents only ever favored Rose, even though we were both their daughters.
21:44No matter how hard I worked or how obedient I was, nothing I did amounted to anything whenever
21:49Rose shed a single tear.
21:55But it didn't matter anymore.
21:57From now on, I was no longer the Diana who had to obey them and constantly sacrifice.
22:09In the weeks that followed, I recovered quickly, both physically and mentally.
22:14The official decree to break the mate bond came through and it was soon done.
22:18Nate and I were no longer bound.
22:20I didn't feel anything in particular.
22:22It was like waking from a nightmare that had dragged on too long.
22:25My mind was clear and my heart was finally still.
22:27Now, I'm truly free.
22:30This time, I wasn't anyone's mate.
22:32I wasn't the daughter of the Roth family.
22:34I wasn't the Luna who looked glamorous but was always treated as disposable.
22:37I was just myself.
22:39I was going to carve my own path in this werewolf world with own claws and I on my own
22:43terms.
22:48She looked at me and froze for a moment.
22:52Then, her gaze softened with something that seemed like a sense of recognition.
22:58It was a warm and complicated look.
23:04Miss, may I have a word with you?
23:06I hesitate at first because I was unsure why she was approaching me.
23:09But for some reason, something about her felt strangely familiar deep in my gut.
23:14Alright.
23:19Over a month later, I received word that Rose had given birth.
23:22When I heard the rumors, I smirked coldly.
23:25Rose was quick to act.
23:26He had lost the pup from my womb, but she swiftly found a new one somehow to show off.
23:30Would you like to come with me and have a look?
23:34Since I'm invited, I might as well go and see how she's enjoying herself.
23:44Rose stood in the center holding the pup, all demule and poised.
23:48Her face was full of sweet smiles, as though she was the most blessed Luna in the entire werewolf realm.
23:56Nate was there, too.
23:58He had a tender expression, playing the dutiful partner perfectly.
24:04I looked at them and let out a low scoff, my eyes filled with cold contempt.
24:22What are you doing here?
24:24What?
24:24Am I not allowed to come congratulate my dear sister?
24:27I didn't expect you to show up, Diana.
24:30Rose, how did you grow up to be this brainless?
24:32Did no one teach you to be discreet?
24:34Do you think it's wise to flaunt a fake pup in front of everyone?
24:37Aren't you afraid of being ripped to sheds?
24:43Come on now.
24:45Your sisters.
24:46Let's not air dirty laundry in public.
24:53You're jealous of me.
24:54All my life, everyone loved me more.
24:56Mom and dad favored me.
24:57Your fated mate chose me in the end.
24:59And even your precious alphanate, even he!
25:02You lost your pup, and no one wants you anymore.
25:04So, you can't stand to see me happy now, is that it?
25:13Well, since you're so eager to put on a show, why don't I help pull back the stage curtain?
25:28You cursed wretch.
25:29You couldn't even keep your own pup.
25:31And now you're here to ruin Rose's moment.
25:33She finally gave her husband a pup.
25:35And you show up today of all days to stir up trouble.
25:38You're vile and vicious.
25:39We already severed our ties and banished you from this family.
25:42And you still have the nerve to come back and embarrass us in public.
25:46You bitch!
25:51Diana, that's enough.
25:53Stop making a scene.
25:55Who was he trying to quiet?
25:56Was this his way of telling me to stay silent?
25:59To keep their filthy apps buried deep inside my heart forever?
26:15We never should have taken you in!
26:19My ears buzzed with a loud ring, and my cheek stung painfully.
26:23The outward sensations I felt were a sharp contrast to the cold clarity in my heart.
26:27So that was it.
26:27They weren't biased and favored Rose more.
26:30It was just that I was never truly theirs to begin with.
26:32I wasn't their blood, or family.
26:38Slowly, I turned to look at the man who had once so rightfully said that I was his daughter.
26:43The corners of my trip curved into a cutting smile.
26:46Enough!
26:49You say she isn't your daughter.
26:51Then it's time your lies end.
26:54And who are you?
26:55What right do you have to interfere with how we discipline our daughter?
27:04You...
27:04Are you Luna, Queen Victoria?
27:07Mate of the Alpha King of the North?
27:10If she isn't your daughter, then let's run a blood test.
27:13I have reason to believe she's our pup who went missing 20 years ago.
27:16And if that's true, every ounce of harm you've done to her over the years,
27:20you'll pay for all of it.
27:22I stood quietly behind Victoria and Visteria as I watched the scene unfold.
27:29If I was never their pup, then I owe them nothing.
27:31I won't bother sparing any of their dignity.
27:36You'd better look into that pup's origins.
27:39You wouldn't want to be coddling someone else's pup thinking it's your precious grandson.
27:47The moment those words fell,
27:49Rose became as pale as a sheet and stood Rose in her spot.
27:54However, her drained loss failed wanting to deny.
27:57She opened my mouth and bowed Rose in her torp.
27:59Is that pup, Michael, really yours?
28:02Rose?
28:02Of course it is!
28:03How could you ask me that?
28:05She was too nervous.
28:06I decided to think it would fall.
28:07We'll run a blood test tomorrow.
28:09Rose's legs bucked slightly.
28:10Her face was now ashen.
28:12At last, Nate spoke.
28:13He had stood off to know Wool's a stickling,
28:15his expression shifting constantly.
28:17Diana, I never thought things would come to this.
28:19I thought she was always always bullying.
28:20Those bones and strong children were covering his that first teeth,
28:22so I couldn't protect Rose.
28:23I didn't know it would turn out like this.
28:26Are you truly guilty or are only panicking now that you know I have royal blood?
28:53No Diana, I really mean it, I'm sorry.
28:55I didn't care anymore.
28:57Now you'll have to live with it.
28:58All I knew was that he would pay for the harm he inflicted upon me.
29:01Your regret changes nothing, you made your choice.
29:03His lips trembled as if he still had more to say, but I was done listening.
29:06I turned and walked away without looking back.
29:09As expected, it only took a few days for the truth to come out.
29:16The results of the blood test were conclusive.
29:19I was the long-lost youngest daughter of the Alpha King of the North, William Egrether.
29:25When my true parents learned the truth,
29:27their eyes were filled with disbelief and irrepressible joy.
29:30They had searched for me for over once given up,
29:32but even in their worst nightmares,
29:34they never imagined that their daughter had been raised in the Ross townhold
29:37like a stray that was well-nosed rejected,
29:39exploited, and trampled into the dirt.
29:43As your father and Alpha King, tell me what you want.
29:46Nothing is beyond my power to give you.
29:49From that moment on, I was no longer the rejected Omega,
29:52the forgotten daughter, the disposable Luna.
29:55I was Diana Egreth, Princess of the North.
30:00Yes, my daughter.
30:02We will shield you with the full power of the Northern Kingdom.
30:04It was fine.
30:05The ones who really deserve to pay are the Roth family.
30:08I was no longer a pup.
30:10I no longer needed to rely on anyone's protection.
30:12I could tear open my own pack with my own teeth and claws.
30:15We respect your choice.
30:17Meanwhile, Nate's pack quickly fell into disarray without my insight and planning.
30:22Trade after trade fell through.
30:23Their resources dried up and their reputation crumbled.
30:26Worse still, I had become his most powerful rival.
30:29As the princess of the Northern Kingdom,
30:30I now controlled several core trade routes.
30:33Though my parents respected my independence,
30:35once they learned how Nate had treated me,
30:37they didn't hesitate to act.
30:38Without a second thought,
30:39they cut off his pack's access to critical supply chains.
30:42He begged for help by pleading with his allies,
30:44but no one came to his aid.
30:45Those who once flattered him now treated him like a joke.
30:48Without me, he was nothing but a powerless alpha
30:51with nothing but a title to cling to.
30:54There would be no redemption or second chance for him.
30:59I handles affairs,
31:00talks with nobles,
31:02and signs documents.
31:09I am myself.
31:11I built my own kingdom
31:12and lived out my true self.
31:19Of course, Rose's pup wasn't hers at all.
31:22No one knew where she had found that pup,
31:24but she tried to pass it off as her own
31:26until the test results exposed everything.
31:28She and the pup were thrown out of the pack murderlessly,
31:30without even a strip of jerky.
31:32Once the pride of her family and the darling of the pack,
31:34Rose didn't even have a place to sleep now.
31:36She stumbled back to the Loth residence pitifully,
31:39with reddened eyes,
31:40and was on the verge of breaking down.
31:41As soon as she pushed the door open,
31:43she cried out,
31:43Dad! Mom! You have to help me!
31:46However, she was met with heavy silence.
31:49Inside, Charlie and Elle sat stiffly on the stone bench,
31:52their faces grim.
31:53The home that was once filled with flowers and herbs
31:55now felt colder than midwinter.
31:57Charlie held a snapped branch in his hand,
31:59his eyes dark and terrifying.
32:00Elle looked exhausted and furious.
32:02It seemed as though she'd aged a decade overnight.
32:04Rose felt that something was off.
32:06Nevertheless, she rushed forward and whined.
32:08Dad! Mom! You have to think of something!
32:10My mate rejected me!
32:11I have nothing left!
32:12You can't just leave me to die!
32:14Upon hearing her words,
32:15Elle suddenly raised her head.
32:16Her eyes blazed with fury.
32:18Help you!
32:19We can barely save ourselves!
32:21And you have the nerve to show your face here!
32:23Rose was stunned,
32:24and her expression stiffened.
32:27What?
32:28What are you talking about?
32:32With a sharp crack,
32:34Charlie snapped the branch in his hands and said coldly,
32:36Did you think your mess wouldn't affect us?
32:38Back when you provoked Diana,
32:40you thought you had it all figured out.
32:41But now,
32:42the whole werewolf realm now knows
32:43I raised a fool of a daughter.
32:45Of all people,
32:46you had to pick Diana to provoke.
32:47Do you have any idea what's happening to us right now?
32:50No one invites us to pack assemblies anymore.
32:52All our former partners have cut ties with us.
32:54Our resources dried up.
32:56Trade routes blocked.
32:58Our herb business is barely hanging on!
33:00Rose's face turned ghostly white,
33:02and her hands trembled.
33:02If it weren't for you,
33:04we wouldn't be in this mess!
33:05Rose's face turned ghostly white,
33:07and her hands trembled.
33:08No!
33:09That's not possible!
33:11It can't be!
33:12Elle laughed coldly and sneered through grated teeth.
33:14Look what you insisted on stealing her mate!
33:17If you hadn't provoked her again and again,
33:19would Diana have gone this far?
33:20She's the daughter of the Alpha King of the North!
33:23Do you think we can withstand even a flick of her finger?
33:26You're the damn wretch who ruined your family!
33:28As Rose listened to Ellie's merciless reproach,
33:31her heart stung painfully
33:32like someone was driving nails through it.
33:34She choked up.
33:35In the next moment,
33:36she snapped.
33:37So now everything's my fault!
33:39Wasn't it you who taught me how to gain the upper hand over her?
33:42Wasn't it you who told me how to steal her fated mate?
33:44Didn't you say if I held out long enough,
33:46I could marry into a stra...
33:47And finally...
33:48Stroll gone wrong!
33:49You finally turned mine all on me!
33:51She screamed hysterically,
33:52her eyes burning with grief and fear.
33:57Charlie slammed his hand down on the stone table heavily.
34:00How dare you talk back now?
34:02Look at what you've done.
34:04If you just kept your mouth shut about that pup,
34:06maybe they wouldn't have checked.
34:07And the moment someone pushed your buttons,
34:09you snapped and blutted everything out.
34:11You exposed yourself.
34:12If you hadn't reacted so poorly,
34:13they never would have insisted on a blood test.
34:15How can you be this stupid?
34:17Rose's breath caught in her throat.
34:19She stood frozen.
34:20We've protected you your whole life
34:22and put you on a pedestal.
34:24And what do we get?
34:25You're good for nothing!
34:27All you're good at
34:28is making one mess after another!
34:34And that was when the fear truly set in.
34:38For the first time,
34:39Rose realized that she hadn't just been cast out of her mate's pack,
34:42even when her parents had lost the last shred of patience they had for her.
34:48She stood there, stunned,
34:50her mind blank.
34:52Even they were done with her.
34:57All her life,
34:58she believed that even if the world abandoned her,
35:01her parents would still shield her.
35:05But now,
35:06she realized that even they had started to resent her.
35:12I expected Rose to have learned her lesson after all that.
35:15Yet,
35:16she took things even further.
35:19One day,
35:20Laura sent me a link and said with disgust,
35:23Look at this.
35:23She really has no shame.
35:25It was a viral forum post with a bolded title.
35:28In the post,
35:29Rose spun a tale of woe and victimhood.
35:31She claimed I had bullied her as we grew up,
35:34accusing me of using my status as the eldest daughter to bully her
35:38and take away all the good things for myself.
35:40She went on to say that I was calculating
35:43and often put on a gentle front while forcing her to back down behind the scenes.
35:47She went on to say I did mate by coercing our parents.
35:50She then accused me of leveraging my rediscovered royal identity to retaliate,
35:55causing her to be rejected by her mate in pack,
35:57thereby effectively ruining her reputation in life.
36:01She coded every word of her sob stoil with vicious accusations,
36:05twisting everything around to make it seem like she was the innocent victim
36:08who was wrong at every turn.
36:10It didn't take long for her story to shoot to the top of the werewolf realm's trending forums.
36:15Some wolves believed her,
36:17and the comment section was flooded with harsh criticisms directed to me.
36:20When my parents saw it, their expressions turned grim.
36:24Mom trembled with fury as she remarked frostily,
36:27Rose is utterly shameless.
36:29I can't just sit around.
36:30I'll get someone to stop this from circuiting.
36:33We can't let it spread further.
36:35If she wants a war online, we'll give her one.
36:38There's no need.
36:42If we try to shut down the trending topic,
36:44it'll only make us look like the guilty party.
36:46Since she dares to lie so boldly,
36:48then I'll make sure her lies unravel in front of the entire world.
36:52Who does Diana think she is?
36:54Don't worry.
36:54Her mate's already yours.
36:56Her pup will be yours too.
36:58I uploaded the full audio with no cuts or voice filters.
37:01Still, some didn't believe it.
37:02They were skeptical about the recording's authenticity
37:04and claimed it could have been doctored.
37:06That was when a familiar voice entered the fray.
37:09Ned apologized to me publicly online.
37:14Diana, I know you don't want to see me,
37:16but there are things I need to say to you in person.
37:20I rejected him.
37:21He no longer had the power to shake me.
37:33But the next day,
37:34I didn't expect to be in danger as I stepped out the door.
37:51A car suddenly accelerated and sped toward me.
37:54The decadent and magnifying screechage of its tires cut through the air.
37:57But then someone broke themselves and they shoved me out.
38:01I thought I was going to die.
38:05There was a decadent crash.
38:07Another person hit the ground hard.
38:09Blood pooled the leaf in the sun.
38:10The stone was all flung open.
38:18Diana!
38:19This is all your fault, you vile bitch!
38:22You ruined me!
38:23You ruined everything!
38:24Why do you get to live well?
38:37Diana!
38:38On the ground,
38:38Nate looked up and he appeared with a traps.
38:41Diana.
38:43Reaching weakly toward the head of my dress,
38:45I stepped back to avoid his touch.
38:54Nate tried to say something else
38:56But Rose cut him off indignantly
38:57You're protecting her now
38:58You were always on my side
39:00You said you'd help me, what changed?
39:01Rose, I've been wrong all these years
39:03Why can't you just let go?
39:05Let go? Why should I let go?
39:06You lied to her and used her for my sake
39:08And now I'm the one who's gone too far
39:15Diane doesn't want you anymore
39:16She's long done
39:17A flicker of agony crossed Nate's face
39:19His pupils constricted like he'd just been dealt the final blow
39:22He understood far too late how foolish and disgraceful his choices had been
39:26The ambulance is almost here
39:28Diana
39:30Is there any way we can go back to how it used to be?
39:34Go back, you tore our past apart apart yourself
39:37Do not dare to hope for a do-over
39:41The me from back then had already died in the pain and heartbreak
39:51You see, she never loved you
39:54She never loved anyone
39:55And now you're both nothing
39:56Nothing
40:04Nake, there is no going back
40:06Don't think that acting sorry and wounded will cleanse your sins
40:08You chose to mark me and make me your mate
40:10You lied about my infertility
40:12You turned around and plotted with Rose to deceive me
40:15You think your apology is worth anything now?
40:17What good is it?
40:17Oh, so you're in pain now
40:19Why?
40:19Isn't that pathetic?
40:26Rose got the punishment she long deserved this time
40:28She had driven with the intention to run me over
40:31So it was attempted murder
40:32Her crime was heinous and undeniable
40:34My parents used their power and authority to have her formally charged and locked away
40:38This time, there was no way she could escape or worm her way out
40:43Charlie and Elle came to me anxiously and begged me to show mercy
40:48Diana, no matter what happened
40:50We raised you
40:51Rose is still young
40:55Do you have to be so heartless?
41:01You're doing well now
41:02There's no need to ruin her completely
41:14I stared at them, feeling absolutely nothing in my heart
41:17What a joke
41:18The so-called upbringing you spoke of had never been out of love
41:22It was all just a transaction
41:24I was a tool to elevate and build Rose up
41:29Rose ruined her own life
41:30Now you try to use family bonds and morality to manipulate me
41:34Hoping I'll soften and forgive her
41:35After all, blood runs thick between you and Rose
41:38I told you long ago that ever since the day you cast me out
41:41There's nothing left between us
41:43Don't use family ties to manipulate me
41:45You lost that right
41:48I watched their despairing expressions
41:50But there was no pity in my heart
41:52Only scorn
41:53In the end, Rose went mad in prison
41:56Nate was left permanently crippled from that crash
41:59The Roth family fell into ruins
42:01Everything returned to its rightful place
42:04The story had come to a close
42:05I had finally broken free from that twisted family's cold calculating grip
42:10And stepped into a future that was truly my own
42:17The nightmare was over
42:19And those who betrayed me got that exactly what they deserved
42:22As for me, I would never look back again
42:25Then we lined up because of what we knew
42:27So when the day they were
