Short filmTranscript
00:02I saved my mate's life, but he wanted me dead.
00:07The day Lucian became alpha, he stabbed me and dragged me to the beast pit.
00:11Korra should have been my Luna.
00:14You stole everything from her. Now die.
00:20The cage opened. Hundreds of starving beasts rushed toward me.
00:24My mate held another woman in his arms and smiled as he watched.
00:29Then I opened my eyes and found myself back on the day he needed me to save his life.
00:34This time, I smiled and walked away.
00:37As a beast calendar, I had always done everything to help my partner, Lucian.
00:42I had even saved his life once.
00:43But on the day he became alpha, but he stabbed me in the back.
00:49Korra is the one I love most.
00:51If you hadn't fought to steal her chance to save me back then, she'd be my Luna.
00:57Right now!
00:58Aren't you able to control beasts?
01:00I haven't eaten in three days.
01:02So go on.
01:04Let me see whether a bitch like you can control them.
01:06My little cat threw herself in front of me.
01:10But the beasts tore us both to shreds.
01:13My family was branded as traitors and sinners.
01:17And then I was reborn.
01:18Back to the morning when Lucian was surrounded by the beasts.
01:22The Luna gripped my hand tightly.
01:24Serena, I heard you can control beasts.
01:27Can you save Lucian?
01:28I shook my head immediately.
01:30Luna, I can't even calm a cat.
01:31I wouldn't dare risk the heir's life.
01:34I heard Korra already brought warriors to look for him.
01:37Lucian is the alpha heir.
01:38The moon goddess will protect him.
01:40This time, I wanted to see how Lucian would become alpha without my help.
01:43A scream echoed from deep within the forest.
01:46Everyone's faces turned tense.
01:48Soon, the warriors carried Lucian back.
01:50His entire body was covered in blood.
01:54Useless fools.
01:55This is how you protect my son?
01:57The alpha flew into a rage and stepped forward to punish them.
02:00Lucian stopped him.
02:01Father, if Korra and the warriors hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have survived.
02:05Don't blame them.
02:06The healers examined him and confirmed his life was no longer in danger.
02:10Only then did the alpha notice the crying Korra standing nearby.
02:14Loyal and brave.
02:15You risked your life for Lucian today.
02:18What reward do you want?
02:19I-
02:19Korra's cheeks flushed red as she stammered.
02:22I-
02:23She couldn't finish a single sentence.
02:25Father, Korra's too shy.
02:27Let me speak for her.
02:28I've desired her for a long time.
02:29Now I owe her my life.
02:31So I want her to become my mate.
02:33My future Luna.
03:00I'll see you next time.
03:04I'll see you next time.
03:08Bye.
03:08.

06:09.
06:09.
06:09The Bloodline alone meant she could never become a Luna.
06:11The Alpha's expression darkened.
06:13He looked at Lucian and slowly shook his head.
06:15Luna frowned.
06:16The heirs Luna is no small matter.
06:18You're the future Alpha.
06:20You need to understand that.
06:21Lucian answered firmly.
06:23I know my responsibilities as heir, but a throne is earned through strength, not Bloodline.
06:29The moment those words left his mouth, the Alpha was completely enraged.
06:33Among wolf packs, noble Bloodlines were everything.
06:36Only the strongest Blood would produce worthy heirs.
06:39Good.
06:39Very bold.
06:40Truly my son.
06:42Make the announcement.
06:43Korra will be the heirs' mate.
06:44Set the date for the mating ceremony.
06:46The Alpha stormed away while Luna hurried after him.
06:49Lucian pulled Korra into his arms, his expression gentle.
06:53Korra, this time I'll never let go of your hand again.
06:56I watched them holding each other tightly.
06:58A cold smile curved across my lips before I turned and left.
07:01Stop!
07:01Lucian limped over to me and leaned close to my ear.
07:04Lowering his voice, he said.
07:06Savine, I know you were reborn too.
07:08You were smart this time.
07:09You didn't steal Korra's spotlight.
07:11I admit I went too far in our last life.
07:13So this time, as long as you don't offend her, I can mock you too.
07:16I frowned my voice flat and icy.
07:18My father is the Alpha's right hand.
07:20And I'm his only daughter.
07:22Why would I become your mistress?
07:24I hid the truth about my rebirth.
07:25I didn't want any more entanglement with him.
07:28My gaze drifted to his manged leg.
07:30I couldn't help laughing softly.
07:32An Alpha heir who was about to lose both legs.
07:35Whoever wanted him could have him.
07:37I turned to leave.
07:38Lucian reached for me.
07:39But his footing slipped and he crashed heavily to the ground.
07:42Korra screamed his name.
07:44Lucian!
07:44I walked away without looking back.
07:49Gasps instantly spread through the crowd.
07:51Korra was nothing more than a low born Omega.
07:53The daughter of Lucian's mother.
07:57When I returned home, my family was there.
08:00Daisy jumped into my arms and rubbed her head against my chin.
08:03My eyes instantly filled with tears.
08:05The moon goddess had given me a second chance.
08:08I would never repeat the tragedy of my last life.
08:11The next morning, Korra burst into my room with red swollen eyes.
08:14It was completely hysterical.
08:16You were born with everything!
08:17Why are you still trying to steal Lucian from me?
08:20I'd give my life just to stay by his side.
08:23I won't let anyone get close to him!
08:26Still half asleep, I rubbed my eyes and stood up.
08:28When exactly was I fighting you for Lutrian?
08:31Korra glared at me viciously.
08:33What did you say to him yesterday?
08:34He kept calling your name in his sleep!
08:36I laughed.
08:37Didn't he tell you?
08:39He begged me to become his mate.
08:41Korra let out a shrill scream.
08:44Impossible!
08:45You bitch!
08:46You seduced him!
08:47She lunged at me, swinging a fist toward my face, sensing danger.
08:51Daisy instantly leapt off the vanity table.
08:54Her claws slashed straight across Korra's silk.
08:57Korra screamed and staggered backward.
08:59The heel caught on itself, and she crashed hard onto the floor.
09:02I was just about to tell a maid to help her, when Lucian's roar exploded through the room.
09:08Selina!
09:09How dare you hurt her!
09:11One of my maids couldn't help speaking up.
09:13Lady Korra forced her way in and struck first.
09:15Daisy was only protecting the Selina.
09:17Lucian slammed the maid against the wall.
09:19Who allowed you to speak?
09:21His gaze fell on Daisy before flicking toward me.
09:23That mutt injured my future Luna.
09:26Selene, it deserves to die.
09:28My heart stopped.
09:29I immediately scooped Daisy into my arms.
09:33Alpha, Korra barged into my home.
09:36She attacked first.
09:37Was I supposed to stand there and let her kill me?
09:40A sneer curled across Lucian's lips.
09:42I'm the Alpha heir.
09:43The next Alpha.
09:45Korra will become your Luna.
09:47If she teaches you a lesson, you should be grateful.
09:50He lifted a hand.
09:51His warriors loosened their grip on the dog's leash, and the dog lunged towards me.
09:55The next Alpha.
10:04Nooooo!
10:05Scenes from my previous life flashed before my eyes.
10:08The moment Lucian threw me into the possibility.
10:10Daisy's fur had stood on end as she forced herself to face those monsters,
10:14shielding me with her tiny body.
10:16Why?
10:17Why?
10:18Even with a second chance, could I still only watch her die in front of me?
10:22I forced down the pain, crushing my chest, and glared at him.
10:25Lucian!
10:26She was protecting me!
10:28What did she do wrong?!
10:29He took a step back, disgust flashing across his face.
10:33Then he gently covered Korra's eyes.
10:35Don't look, Korra.
10:36You'll dirty your eyes.
10:38Then he looked at me with contempt.
10:40Take this as a lesson.
10:41This time it's an animal.
10:43Next time it'll be you.
10:44Just because I'm willing to make you my mistress doesn't mean I like you.
10:48Don't think that gives you the right to order Korra around.
10:50You're only fit to be her servant.
10:53Then he left with Korra.
10:54I clenched my fists so tightly my nails bit into my palms, forcing back my tears.
10:59Lucian.
10:59Again and again.
11:01You destroy everything I love.
11:02This time I won't sit back and watch.
11:04You dream of making Korra your Luna.
11:06We'll see whether you even live long enough for that day.
11:09I carried Daisy's stiff body in my arms and buried her myself in the garden.
11:13That grassy patch had been her favorite place to run.
11:16Now she could only lie there, alone.
11:19The tears wouldn't stop falling.
11:21Then a long fingered hand appeared before me, holding a neatly folded handkerchief.
11:25Kale, the Alpha's fourth son.
11:27Lucian hadn't been the only one in danger yesterday.
11:30Kale had been there too, in my last life.
11:32All I cared about was Lucian.
11:34I drove away the beasts for him alone.
11:36Kale had died with no one to help me.
11:39This time, I had deliberately sent him a signal.
11:42I told him to stay inside the cabin and not wander off.
11:46Behind him sat crates filled with jewels and silk.
11:49Selina, thank you for warning me yesterday.
11:53You saved my life.
11:54I took the handkerchief, wiped my tears away and looked straight into his eyes.
11:58Kale, if you really want to repay me, would you be willing to become my mate?
12:14Nooooo!
12:15Scenes from my previous life flashed before my eyes.
12:18The moment he stood for me into the first sight.
12:20Daisy's fur had stood on end as she washed herself.
12:25Shock flashed across Kale's face.
12:27He clearly hadn't expected me to be so direct.
12:30Then he smiled, a trace of admiration in his eyes.
12:33Of course.
12:34Wait for me to come get you.
12:36A second later, he vanished, fast as the wolf beneath his skin.
12:39The next morning, Kale came personally to formally propose to me.
12:43His manners were flawless, refined and respectful.
12:46It was obvious he truly valued me.
12:48Father was pleased.
12:50He had once hoped I would marry Lucian.
12:52But Lucian had publicly chosen a low-born Omega in front of the entire pack.
12:57Father finally realized the heir could not be trusted.
13:00Compared to him, Kyle was sincere.
13:01The mating ceremony was arranged quickly.
13:03Crates of gifts from Kyle kept arriving one after another.
13:07The storage rooms were overflowing.
13:08Even the hallways were piled high with presents.
13:11And gifts should always be returned.
13:13So I went to the finest jewelry store in the city to pick something for him.
13:17The moment I stepped inside, a green belt caught my eye.
13:20Simple, striking, with three flawless emeralds set into the leather.
13:24I bought it and was preparing to leave.
13:26When I ran into Lucian and Korra, Lucian could barely stand steadily now.
13:31He looked sickly, a grey rot, like shadow spreading beneath his skin.
13:35The moment he noticed the green belt in my hands, smug satisfaction flashed across his face.
13:41I heard your family's preparing for the upcoming ceremony.
13:43So all that nonsense before about not wanting to be my mistress was just you being petty.
13:48But let me warn you first.
13:49You'd better not outshine Korra.
13:51She's the future Luna.
13:53And that belt?
13:54You're too late.
13:55Korra already made me one herself.
13:57Keep yours.
13:58Seeing him defend her so openly, Korra covered her mouth and giggled.
14:02Lucian, just take it.
14:04You can always give it to one of the servants.
14:06Korra's right.
14:09Lucian reached for my gift box.
14:32I immediately stepped back to avoid his touch.
14:35This isn't for you.
14:36Not for me?
14:37Then who else could it possibly be for?
14:40Selina, are you trying to get my attention again?
14:43He withdrew his hand, a cold smirk tugging at his lips.
14:47Fine.
14:48I won't expose your little act.
14:50I'm not interested in your gift anyway.
14:52He wrapped an arm around Korra and walked past me.
14:54I climbed into my car.
14:56Then suddenly, chaos erupted behind me.
14:59Korra's voice rang through the street.
15:00Lufian, what's wrong?
15:01Somebody help!
15:02Inside the car, I closed my eyes.
15:04Lucian, your punishment has finally arrived.
15:07The injuries from those beasts had looked horrifying, but they were never fatal.
15:10Lucian simply never took them seriously.
15:13What he didn't know was that the beasts driven by the rogue wolves carried a special venom.
15:17If he had listened to the healers, stayed in bed, and taken the antidote,
15:20he would have recovered without the shooting.
15:22But Korra had gone from a lowly Omega to the future Luna, the noble Sheer.
15:26Wolves looked down on her, and Lucian couldn't bear watching his girl suffer.
15:30So every day, he forced himself to accompany her everywhere, just to earn her respect within
15:35the pack.
15:36Eventually, whispers spread among the wolves.
15:39Korra's so lucky.
15:40What Korra didn't know was that her dignity had been bought with Lucian's life.
15:44When I returned home, I heard the palace was already in complete chaos.
15:48The heir to the wolf pack collapsed on the street, hanging between life and death.
15:53The entire pack was shaken.
15:55That was when Kale appeared.
15:56A faint smile curved across his lips.
15:59Selina, would you like to see a show?
16:02Of course.
16:03Kale carried two bottles of rare syrup.
16:05Using the excuse of visiting the patient, he escorted me to the other chambers.
16:08The healers swarmed around Lucian.
16:11They took turns trying everything they could, but he still wouldn't wake.
16:14Korra knelt on the wall, sobbing endlessly.
16:16At last, the Luna unleashed the fury she had been suppressing for them.
16:20She smashed everything in the room to the ground with deafening force.
16:24Her trembling finger pointed at Korra.
16:30After the storm of accusation, Korra only felt thronged.
16:30Lucian's wounds had not healed, but you still dragged him around to show him off.
16:37You caused this.
16:39Are you satisfied now?
16:41The healer said the wounds themselves weren't severe,
16:44but he never rested and the venom spread through his bloodstream.
16:49He may lose both legs.
16:50Under the storm of accusation, Korra only felt thronged.
16:54My Luna, this isn't fair.
16:57Lucian pitted me.
16:59He wanted the others to respect me, so-
17:05Enough!
17:06The Alpha had just returned from Council.
17:08The moment he heard her excuse, he kicked her violently across the room.
17:12If you hadn't beswet Lucian, would he have treated his own body so scoffsily?
17:18He's barely consciousness.
17:20The mating ceremony is only days away, it's cancelled.
17:22Korra stared blankly at everything before her, unable to believe it was real.
17:27The Luna's residence was so close now.
17:29No one was supposed to take it from her.
17:31Before she could speak again, Lucian's weak voice drifted through the room.
17:35Father.
17:37Mother.
17:38Don't blame Korra.
17:40This was my choice.
17:42Please don't cancel the mating ceremony.
17:44I'll recover by then.
17:46I swear it, please.
17:47After a fit of coughing, Lucian slowly opened his eyes.
17:51Seeing this, the Alpha and Luna could no longer bring themselves to punish her further.
17:55The Alpha's voice turned cold and severe.
17:58Fine, heal my son and the wedding will proceed.
18:02Fail and your punishment will show no mercy.
18:06Korra nodded frantically, determination sharpening in her eyes.
18:10This was her last chance and she would seize it no matter what.
18:28The Alpha and Luna left.
18:29Korra rushed to Lucian's side at once.
18:32She thought his waking up meant things were finally getting better.
18:35But moments later, he slipped back into unconsciousness.
18:38The healers wiped the sweat from their brows, their voices trembling.
18:41Heir, he may not survive much longer.
18:46Liars! How dare you say that! He's the future Alpha! The Moon Goddess protects him!
18:52He swore he would mate with me! He would never leave me!
18:54Korra collapsed in despair, yet I felt nothing but satisfaction. I walked over and looked down at her.
19:00Korra, you killed my Daisy. And now karma's come for you too. How does it feel?
19:06If Lucian dies, what happens to an unmated partner like you? Die alone? Or die with him?
19:14Korra jerked her head up and scrambled backward in panic.
19:16Shut up! He'll be fine! He has to be! I'll become his Luna! I always will!
19:22You just wait, bitch! On the day of the mating ceremony, the entire pack will be there watching.
19:27So what if you were born noble? One day you'll still have to call me Luna.
19:31I laughed. I'll be waiting for that day. Don't disappoint me. I turned and walked away.
19:38Korra cursed under her breath behind. I didn't hear it clearly. And I didn't care. Kyle had
19:42witnessed everything from the doorway. He didn't understand why I hated Lucian and Korra so deeply.
19:47But he restrained his curiosity and asked nothing. The mating ceremony drew closer. Yet Lucian still
19:53hadn't woken up. Rumors spread everywhere. The air was dying. The sheath. Wolves who once envied Korra
19:59now mocked her mercilessly while she was down. She cried herself to sleep every day. Out of options,
20:05she summoned every healer, witch doctor and street witch she could find, hoping some spell might drive
20:11his soul back. I secretly sent someone to hint to her about a street witch from the Dark Hollow Coven,
20:17a forbidden circle hidden deep within the Shadowfang territories. Desperate, Korra sought the witch out in
20:23secret. In the end, the witch handed her a small black vial filled with silver-blue liquid. On the day
20:29of the mating
20:29ceremony, Korra stood alone beside Lucian's bed in a moon, white gown, a lunas crown adorning her hair.
20:37Lucian wore ceremonial robes for the bonding rite, his eyes tightly shut.
21:03Denis McFarra also found a little Missy, a plushed of her mother's mum's garden, so help her
21:03let her in a half-time get a really good feeling. You could spell her a lot.
21:05A lot of usability is so smooth and simple. She also reached her hair to her eyes.
21:06Monica? My head was verkosal by the time that cathedra.
21:08The wife and her husband called her house, she was just a guilty and the girl's
21:11mother treated her. She was just a good girl. She was a sick girl, she was a sick girl.
21:11She was a very sick girl. She was aess. She was a good girl. I'm not the keeper of her.
21:13It was a amazing girl. I thought she was a great guy. She was a great girl. It was a
21:21nice girl, she was a
21:24Whispers swept through the pack like waves. Murmurs rose and fell among the crowd.
21:28Lucian's been unconscious for so long. Even the healers can't do anything, but Cora still won't give up.
21:33That's true love, isn't it? It's not love. She just wants to become Luna.
21:37If she really loved him, she wouldn't force him to mock her at a time like this.
21:42The Alpha wanted to cancel the ceremony. She begged him not to, and swore she could heal Lucian.
21:47Alpha and Luna arrived as well. The Alpha's face was green.
21:51Cora, it's time. Lucian isn't waking up. The mating ceremony is cancelled. Everyone go home.
21:56No! Your Majesty, please wait a little longer! He'll wake up! He will!
22:01Cora pleaded desperately. The Alpha frowned.
22:04I've already shown you more mercy than I should have, except reality.
22:08Take that ceremonial gown off her!
22:11Cora clutched the gown tightly, and refused to let anyone near her.
22:14Her eyes remained fixed on Lucian, filled with desperate hope.
22:17I waited silently, watching her fall apart, letting her taste the agony that had once consumed the final days of
22:23my life.
22:23Then Lucian's voice rang through the room.
22:25I'm not dead yet. How dare you treat Cora like this!
22:29The entire pack snapped their heads around in shock.
22:32Lucian, who had lain motionless just moments ago, suddenly sat up and climbed out of bed.
22:38Lucian woke up?
22:39Cora really brought him back?
22:41Looks like she's gonna become Luna after all.
22:43Alpha and Luna stared in stunned disbelief, caught between shock and joy.
22:47Cora shoved through the crowd and threw herself into his arms.
22:50I thought I'd lost you forever!
22:52Don't worry. I'm here. The mating ceremony is still on. Don't miss the timing.
22:56Hand in hand, they walked through the crowd. As Cora passed me, she lifted her chin with a smug, taunting
23:01look.
23:01I said nothing. I simply counted.
23:04Three, two, one...
23:07Time's up. Lucian had barely taken a step before he stumbled and collapsed.
23:31Screams erupted instantly.
23:33His legs? There are so many shadow parasites! Not just his legs! There are more over there!
23:39He was fine just a second ago! How is this possible?
23:42Lucian swayed in dizziness. Thin black worms, dark as ink and fine as strands of hair, wriggled out of his
23:49wounds and dropped onto the ground.
23:51Every single one emitted a faint silver glow. Forbidden parasites that fed specifically on wolf blood.
23:57The wound in his leg burned like fire. The pain spread rapidly, sinking into the bone before finally reaching his
24:03abdomen.
24:04Cora's eyes widened as she shook her head by like.
24:07How could this happen? The witch said he was cured!
24:09Alpha and Luna were still in shock over Lucian's recovery.
24:12Then this horrifying scene unfolded before them. Without servants supporting them, they could hardly stay standing.
24:19Ahila rushed forward and examined Lucian before letting out a heavy sigh.
24:23The Alpha heir has been cursed.
24:26How could this happen? Who cursed him?
24:28Cora lowered her head and slowly backed into the crowd. Kale suddenly shouted.
24:32Where do you think you're going?
24:34You were the one taking care of Lucian the whole time. No one knows better than you how he ended
24:39up cursed.
24:41Cora had always been timid and weak by nature. That single shout shattered her completely. She dropped to her knees
24:46and confessed everything.
24:47It was supposed to be a miraculous treatment. A street witch taught it to me. She said the potion could
24:53bring the dead back to life. It was supposed to be a miracle. I never thought it would turn Lucian
24:58into this. You all saw it yourselves. He moved like a healthy wolf just now. That means the treatment worked.
25:03My fears were right. The healer said grimly. The poison restores strength temporarily, but the shadow parasites slowly eat the
25:11body away. In the end, the entire body rots into pulp.
25:20Lies. That's not true. Cora shook her head frantically. That's not true.
25:24Lucian stared at her, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes. Her face was still so soft, so
25:30innocent, looking. He could not believe she would do this to him.
25:33They found the witch, she cried.
25:35Alpha! Spare me! This was all that lady's idea! I warned her! How dangerous it was! I begged her to
25:42give up!
25:42She wouldn't listen. She said it didn't matter what the heir became afterward, as long as he completed the mating
25:49ceremony.
25:50Those words shattered the last scraps of trust and pity Lucian still held for Cora.
25:55Bitch! Why would you do this to me? I got injured waiting for you to save me. And now you've
26:01destroyed everything.
26:02If only I had chosen differently.
26:06Agony filled his face as he searched the ground for you. Only now did regret finally consume him.
26:12Lucian collapsed to the ground. The healer informed the Alpha that Lucian was beyond saving. The Alpha ordered Cora imprisoned.
26:18What had begun as a lively mating ceremony ended in chaos and shelter. Kyle and I turned to leave, but
26:24Lucian grabbed the hem of my dress. His hoarse, weakening voice echoed behind me.
26:29Selina. Selina, don't go. His eyes were red with regret.
26:33I was blind. Only now do I finally see what Cora really is. She lied to me from the very
26:38beginning. I thought she truly loved me. I never imagined she only wanted to become Luna.
26:43Now I understand. You were the only one who truly loved me. I was wrong. Give me one more chance.
26:50Forgive me. You're still my Luna.
26:52I almost laughed out loud. He actually believed a simple apology could erase everything I had suffered. He had to
26:58be dreaming.
27:09I pried Lucian's hand away from my dress. Alpha, once glass shatters, it can never be made whole again. Regret
27:15can't buy back anything.
27:17On the day Cael and I bonded, the ceremonial cave overflowed with guests. Moonlight poured through cracks in the dome
27:23above, bathing the entire altar in silver.
27:25Cael personally escorted me to the carriage, dressed in dark, grey ceremonial robes. He took my hand and gently brushed
27:33his thumb across my palm.
27:35Nervous?
27:36Not at all.
27:37Liar. I can hear your heartbeat.
27:39I couldn't help that. He bent down and straightened my skirt from me. The procession departed beneath the pack's cheers
27:46and songs and blessings surging around us like wings. Then suddenly, the road ahead was blocked.
27:52Selina, without my permission, how dare you mate with another wolf.
27:56Lucian sat slumped in a wheelchair, Gaunt and Hollow Knight. The surrounding werewolves lowered their voices as they whispered.
28:03What happened to the Alpha Air? Wasn't he still walking around with his mate not long ago?
28:07The one bonding today is Lady Ashfield. What does she have to do with him? Haven't you heard?
28:12Lucian forced a servant girl into the Luna residence and even tried to make Lady Ashfield his mistress.
28:18That's not even half of it. The heir ended up ruined because of the woman he chose.
28:22Lucian's expression darkened more and more with every word, but he no longer had the strength to argue.
28:27All his attention remained fixed on him.
28:31Selina, you once told me that in this life and the next, you would always be my mate.
28:36His voice was coarse, filled with sick desperation.
28:39Thanks to the medicine you sent, the healers said I'm out of danger now. I'll recover completely soon. Let me
28:43make it up to you, Crait.
28:44I looked at him. Once upon a time, those eyes could have made me die willingly for him. Now they
28:49only felt cold.
28:51Alpha, I already told you. There will never be anything between us again.
28:55No. You still love me. Otherwise, why would you personally help me choose that belt?
29:07I paused. The entire thing was absurd. Even now, he was still lying to himself, clinging to a belt like
29:13it was his last hope.
29:15Beside me, Kyle calmly opened his coat, revealing a flash of dark green at his waist.
29:20Lucian, are you talking about this one?
29:21Shock flooded Lucian's face.
29:23Kyle glanced down at the belt and spoke evenly.
29:26Sorry to disappoint you. Selina picked this out for me. The size fits perfectly.
29:30Lucian froze completely.
29:32That's impossible. How could you decide to mate with him so quickly? You sent me medicine. You still care about
29:38me.
29:38He stared at me stubbornly. I leaned close to his ear, my voice soft enough that only he could hear.
29:44Death isn't the scary part. Living is the real punishment.
29:48Lucian, enjoy your nightmare.
29:50He closed his eyes and slumped back into adventure.
29:53Kael gave a faint wave, signaling for the servants to wheel him away.
29:57Along the road, the stench of rot drifting from Lucian's wounds made nearby walls instinctively cover their noses.
30:04Step back.
30:05Kyle turned toward me.
30:06Come on, don't let him ruin our day.
30:08He simply extended his hand.
30:10Gently, I placed my hand in ice.
30:12The procession observed.
30:13Moonlight spilled across the road like a silver carpet, laid down by the goddess herself.
30:18I leaned against Kyle's shoulder, listening to the wheels roll over ground.
30:23One arm wrapped around me, while his other hand gently stroked my back.
30:27Behind us, the name that had once caused me unbearable pain faded farther and farther into the moonlight
30:32until it disappeared completely.
30:34Kael, thank you.
30:37He said nothing. He only pulled me a little closer.
30:49Dim lighting, a warm room. Our first night after bonding belonged only to us.
30:55Kyle was far more passionate than his gentle appearance suggested.
30:58Like a wolf who had finally gotten what he longed. He was patient, focused, and tireless.
31:05I rubbed my aching shoulder and begged hoarsely for mercy before he finally relented.
31:09Even then, he still kept me tightly wrapped in his arms, his chin resting against the top of my head.
31:15At dawn, half asleep in his embrace, I asked without thinking.
31:19Back then, why did you agree so quickly to make me your mate?
31:21Kyle let out a low chuckle.
31:23You're only asking now? I've had a crush on you for ten years.
31:28I always hoped my mate would be you.
31:30Holding me in his arms, he slowly told me stories I had never known.
31:35Years ago, at that grand full moon ball, he saw me for the first time.
31:40The hall had been crowded with guests.
31:42Yet after one glance, he could never look away again.
31:44But back then, my eyes had only been on Lucian.
31:47He never forced his way into my life.
31:49He simply stayed in the shadows, silently protecting me.
31:52Even in my previous life, it had been the same.
31:54The reason I managed to reach the hunting grounds in time and drive away the beasts was because of me.
32:00Before I arrived, he had shifted into wolf form and acted as bait, leading the fiercest beasts away by himself.
32:06In that lifetime, he died in those hunting grounds.
32:09My vision blurred instantly.
32:11In my previous life, he had died because of me, and I had never even known.
32:16Kale, I'm sorry.
32:18He tightened his arms around me, his lips brushing my forehead.
32:22You have nothing to apologize for.
32:24Being able to become your mate made everything worth it.
32:26I buried my face against his chest as silent tears soaked into his shirt.
32:30He said nothing.
32:31He only patted my back over and over, as though comforting a child who had cried herself exhausted.
32:37Thank the moon goddess.
32:39This time, we didn't miss each other.
32:51Married life was peaceful beyond belief.
32:53Kale had a habit he could never seem to break.
32:55Every morning before I woke up, he would place a fresh evening primrose beside my pillow.
33:00So when I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was always that half-bloom flower still carrying traces
33:05of morning dew.
33:06Whenever I read, he liked sneaking up behind me and resting his chin lightly on my shoulder.
33:11Without saying a word, he would quietly stay there until I finished the entire page.
33:15His breathing against my neck was warm and steady.
33:18One time, I didn't turn the page for nearly fifteen minutes.
33:21Are you actually reading?
33:22He finally asked.
33:23I'm enjoying the feeling of you leaning against me.
33:25His ears turned red.
33:26An alpha-blooded wolf, nearly six feet tall, actually blushed because of one sentence.
33:31I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of the chair.
33:34Embarrassed and annoyed, he scooped me up effortlessly, threw me over his shoulder, and headed straight for the bedroom.
33:39What are you doing?
33:40Put me down!
33:42No more reading.
33:43Sleep.
33:44Kale.
33:45Quiet.
33:46He said quiet.
33:47But his tone was full of affection.
34:06On nights of the full moon, we loved running together in the mountains behind the territory.
34:11When Kale shifted into wolf form, his fur turned a rare silver.
34:15Gray, that almost seemed to glow beneath a moonlight.
34:17This wolf was far larger than an ordinary alphys.
34:20his shoulders nearly reaching my chest when he ran every movement was graceful and fierce but in
34:26front of me the huge silver wolf would crouch obediently rubbing his head against my palm like
34:30an affectionate pocket i loved burying my face in the thick soft fur around his body temperature
34:36was always warm like a living room i shifted into wolf form too and we ran side by side
34:41under the moonlight two figures one silver one white raced across the mountain range when we
34:47grew tired we would lie beside each other atop the rocks overlooking the entire territory countless
34:53lights glittered below us like shattered moonlight scattered across the earth he shifted back into
34:58human form barefoot on the grass as moonlight traced silver edges along his silhouette kail when you
35:04become alpha someday will you still run with me like this he looked at me seriously his gaze open
35:08and steady in front of everyone else i'm the alpha in front of you i'll always just be your kail
35:13i
35:13turn my face away so he wouldn't see my reddening eyes in this lifetime i finally understood what
35:18it felt like to be cherished yet beneath that peace news about lucian still reached us from time to time
35:24his legs were completely ruined now he could only remain bedridden his wounds had to be treated three
35:29times a day though the shadow parasites had been removed the silver poison had sunk deep into his
35:34bones and could never be reversed when summer arrived the smell of decay filled his entire
35:39servants rotated shifts caring for him writting their teeth before entering worst of all chorus
35:45treatment had left him completely infertile he would never have an heir
36:11the storm from the council finally arrived high ranking officials jointly petitioned the alpha to
36:16appoint a new heir the alpha pitied lucian but no one understood the laws of the pack better than he
36:21did the weak were unfit to lead the strong how could a king confined to a wheelchair rule over thousands
36:26of wolves of all his sons only kail was worthy of the position kail from this day forward you are
36:34the new
36:35alpha kail knelt on one knee and accepted the silver token engraved with the wolf crest his gaze passed
36:42over the gathered officials before finally settling on him the decree stripping lucian of his title
36:47arrived at his door that very day lucian smatched everything within each beside the spot that was the
36:53final blow he ordered servants to view him to the dungeon he wanted to see cora the dungeon was damp
37:00and
37:00dark cora curled in the corner her clothes tattered and her hair tangled into knots only her eyes still
37:06shone with the madness that quartered on his head the sound of wheelchair wheels echoed down the corridor
37:13cora looked up when she saw him her lips twisted into a strange smile okay it's because of you lucian's
37:20voice was hoarse and cold if not for you i never would have ended up like this this is all
37:25your fault his
37:26hands closed around you should die but there was no strength left in it cora shoved him away effortlessly
37:32the wheelchair slammed into the wall with a dull crash
38:07my fault her eyes widened you were the one who couldn't hold on if you'd lasted just a little
38:13longer if we'd completed the bonding ceremony i'd be luna by now her voice climbed higher and higher
38:19growing hysterically i'm his luna i'm his luna i am his luna only now did lucian finally realize how
38:29foolish he would be for this world he had personally pushed selena and from beginning to end this woman
38:35had never loved him only the position he held he turned his wheelchair around and left without another
38:41glance kyle's official alpha ceremony would take place three days later that night i helped him straighten
38:46with ceremonial doors standing before the mirror he wore an unusual serious expression what's wrong i
38:53asked i never imagined my life would leave me here it's okay i'll be with you during the ceremony the
38:58silver luna crown was placed upon my head as moonlight poured through the cave ceiling the entire pack lowered
39:04their heads in unison deep growls of submission all the way about the way at the very back of the
39:10crowd lucian
39:11sat in his wheelchair in the furthest corner everyone else bowed their heads only he looked up his eyes
39:16filled with pain and regret if cora hadn't destroyed him the one standing here today should it be me
39:21after the ceremony he was moved out of the royal chambers and relocated to a small cabin outside
39:27the territory the door closed behind him from that day on no one ever visited again
39:40life after becoming luna grew busier but kail never once made me feel alone during the day he
39:45handled pack affairs no matter how busy he was he always came home before evening sometimes while i
39:51sat reading medical texts in the study he would deliberately peek his head through the doorway he
39:55always did that never interrupting never rushing me just quietly staying nearby sometimes when i looked
40:00up i would find him asleep on the sofa still holding a half-red territorial report whenever i covered him
40:06with a blanket he would unconsciously grab my wrist in his sleep don't go i'm right here i'm not going
40:11anywhere one afternoon heavy rain suddenly poured down he returned soaked from head to toe yet held
40:17a paper package carefully against his chest what's that he handed it to me inside was a silver hand
40:23woven ribbon with a tiny moonstone dangling from the tassel i saw it at the market thought it would
40:27look nice with your white dress you got drouched for a ribbon not exactly it was on the way he
40:33was
40:33obviously lying the market was on the opposite side of the territory from where he'd gone i stared at the
40:39ribbon and suddenly felt my nose sting he immediately panicked you don't like it i can exchange it i
40:45love it i interrupted tying the ribbon around my wrist i really love it he relaxed at once smiling
40:51like a boy who'd just been praised that night we lay side by side listening to the rain outside the
40:56window kale i think i must have been blind before yeah you really were couldn't you at least comfort me
41:05comfort you for what you're telling the truth i reached over to hit him he laughed and dodged before
41:10pulling me back into his arms again but it's okay he murmured softly in the darkness you see me now
41:16that's
41:17enough
41:35okay
41:46so
41:47so
41:47i
41:47i
41:47i
41:48i
42:03i
42:04i
42:05.
42:35.
43:05.
43:37.
43:45The day Lucian moved out, I went to see him off.
43:48Morning fog still lingered as his wheelchair sat outside the cabin.
43:51The servants carried out the last box and left quickly.
43:54Hearing footsteps, he slowly looked up, when he realized it was me.
43:58A trace of hope flashed across his withered face.
44:00Selina, so in the end, you still care about me?
44:03I shook my head, a victor's smile curling at my face.
44:06You're wrong, Lucian. I only came to see how your story ends.
44:10His expression froze. I crouched down until we were eye-loving.
44:14You still don't know, do you? That so-called Cora found from the witch? I arranged all of it.
44:18His pupils shrank violently.
44:20From the very beginning, I was the one who wanted you dead.
44:22My voice remained calm and clear.
44:24I bribed the witch. I was the one who told Cora the medicine could temporarily restore your strength.
44:29Selina.
44:30His lips trembled.
44:31So it was you all along. Why? Just because of what happened in the previous life?
44:35That's right. A blood Jetsby repays. Some debts can only be settled with a life.
44:40But they're all alive now, aren't they?
44:42He asked in confusion.
44:43They're alive.
44:44I stood and looked down at him.
44:45But what you did can never be erased.
44:47The pain was real. It already happened, and you have to pay for it.
44:50I turned away.
44:51Kael leaned against the nearby tree, waiting for it.
44:54Morning sunlight filtered through the leaves, scattering broken patches of light across it.
44:58When he saw me approaching, he asked nothing.
45:00He simply held out his hand naturally.
45:02I placed mine in his.
45:04Is it over?
45:05Yes.
45:05It's over.
45:06Hand in hand, we walked deeper into the terracotta.
45:09Sunlight gradually pierced through the fog, illuminating the road ahead.
45:13Behind us, the cabin door slowly closed.
45:15And Lucian, like a lone wolf cast out from the pack, spent the rest of his life rotting away in
45:20regret and decay.
