Short filmTranscript
00:00After our mating ceremony, right after Alpha Lucian and I exchanged rings,
00:05rogue wolves crashed in, snapping and tearing at everything.
00:10Lucian didn't even hesitate.
00:11He shoved me right toward them and ran to protect his first love, Serena.
00:17The rogues pinned me down,
00:18right in front of the pack elites attending my mating ceremony.
00:22Those filthy rogues took turns violating me.
00:27By the time everyone left, my womb had been gouged out.
00:31My body was burned to a bloody pulp with branding irons.
00:35My mother and father witnessed the whole tragedy.
00:38They went into cardiac shock and collapsed on the spot.
00:42My brother, Rhett, carried me back with trembling hands.
00:46He rushed to the doors of the Council of Elders and dropped to his knees.
00:50He begged the head elder to let him go after the rogue wolves
00:54and to send the best healers to save me.
00:57Even while passed out, I faintly heard Rhett talking to the Alpha.
01:01I already killed the rogues. No one will ever know you let them into our territory to ruin Layla.
01:07But man, if you wanted Serena to be your Luna, why didn't you just say so?
01:11I would have convinced Layla to be your mistress for Serena's sake.
01:14Why torture her like this?
01:16Layla's too proud.
01:18She'd never give up the Luna title to Serena.
01:22Her dignity has to be completely shredded.
01:24That's the only way she'll learn to crawl on the ground and serve our new Luna.
01:29Back then when you were drugged, Serena bravely gave herself to your pup, but could only be your mistress.
01:36I guess the two of us just weren't meant to be.
01:40We sacrificed Layla, but we had to do it for Serena's happiness.
01:44Besides, even without a womb, Layla is still a noble she-wolf of the Winston family.
01:48No one will dare mess with her.
01:50Alpha, don't let Layla down.
01:54I'm just repaying Serena's favor.
01:57Layla is the only woman I truly love.
01:59I already transferred my estates and silver mines to Layla's name.
02:02She should be satisfied, even just being my mistress.
02:04As they spoke, they decided my future for me.
02:08A nightmare.
02:09All the suffering I endured was just to pave the way for Serena.
02:13I gathered every last ounce of my strength to throw away the Luna ring Lucien put on my finger.
02:19I didn't want any of this fake love or family anymore.
02:22The pack healers came at once and crowded around me, sweating with panic.
02:27Thank the goddess.
02:29Beta-Rite brought us in time.
02:31We can still save the Luna.
02:32But those words only made right and the Alpha look even worse.
02:37Can you still save her womb?
02:39Thinking he was worried about me, the healers quickly replied,
02:42Yes!
02:43With proper care, the Luna can still become a mother someday.
02:49The second they said that, Lucien pulled out a dagger and stepped forward.
02:56He shoved the healers aside and plunged the blade right into my lower stomach.
03:04Alpha!
03:05The healers screamed in terror, and even Rite stared at him in shock.
03:10Lucien's knife hand shook, but he still gritted his teeth and carved my womb out through the open wound.
03:18The feral wolves outside the yard smelled the blood.
03:20They rushed in, snarling and tearing it to shreds.
03:23Get lost, you beasts!
03:24Ride Road, stabbing the ferals to death.
03:27I cannot leave her with any chance of having a pup.
03:30Alpha, you're completely insane!
03:32Even if you despise her for being violated by the rogues, you shouldn't hurt her like this!
03:37Without a womb, the Luna can never get pregnant again.
03:41This will permanently ruin her body!
03:43She won't live past a year!
03:45But the healers' warnings didn't make Lucien hesitate for a single second.
03:52How could I ever despise Layla?
03:56I just promised Serena I will give her everything she wants.
03:59She said she wants her pup to be my only pup to inherit the pack.
04:03I absolutely cannot break that promise.
04:05He wiped the sweat from my forehead.
04:08Layla, you'll forgive me, won't you?
04:10No matter the cost, I will definitely keep you alive.
04:14Rite let out a long sigh.
04:16If any of you leak a single word about today, I will rip your throats out.
04:22Facing Rite's threat, the healers didn't dare say another word.
04:26Hurry up and put her under! Can't you see she's in agony!
04:31He held me close, looking heartbroken.
04:35Layla, I will never let anyone hurt you again.
04:38Don't be afraid, Layla. The Alpha and I will protect you.
04:42I kept my eyes closed. Tears slid down the sides of my face.
04:47The two people closest to me were obviously the ones who hurt me the deepest.
04:51He held me close while Rite stayed by my bedside, both of them seeming heart-sick over me.
04:56But a maid outside reported that Serena was trying on DeLuna wedding gown
05:01and wanted them to come take a look.
05:05At that, both of them caught their breath.
05:12How utterly ridiculous.
05:14Just a second ago they were swearing to guard me, terrified I'd get hurt.
05:18Now their minds were already somewhere else.
05:21I'm not going.
05:22I designed that gown myself and personally oversaw the finest seamstresses as they rushed to finish it.
05:27I will see her in it during our new mating ceremony next week.
05:31I'm not going either.
05:32I ordered the craftsman to forge for Serena's crown.
05:36I already know what it looks like.
05:40I had people prepare our entire grand procession a month ago.
05:43Tell her to just rest and not worry about a thing.
05:46Lucien gave a small smile.
05:49I've also set up a private treasury for Serena.
05:52I saved up for ten years.
05:54It's enough to shut up the entire pack.
05:56No one will dare look down on her.
05:59Layla is still fighting for her life.
06:00We have to stay here and watch over her.
06:03It was the first time they ever chose me over her.
06:06But all I felt was overwhelming sorrow.
06:08So they did know how to plan a she-wolf's mating ceremony down to the last detail.
06:12She got a personally designed gown.
06:14An expensively forged crown.
06:17And a private treasury meant to make the entire pack jealous.
06:20But what about me?
06:22For the entire year we were engaged.
06:25Lucien said he wanted to keep things low-key.
06:28Rhett wouldn't let me go overboard.
06:30I only had a few old pieces of jewelry as my mother left me from Puphood.
06:34The noble ladies mocked me for being a pathetic beggar.
06:39I even had to design and rush order my own wedding gown all by myself.
06:44I remembered his dismissive smile when I finally showed him my gown.
06:49Was he so dismissive because he knew that no matter what I wore,
06:52the rogue wolves would tear it apart at my wedding?
06:55Did he smile because he was thinking of the gown he personally designed for Serena?
07:03Blood kept gushing from my wound.
07:05I passed out to the sound of their panicked, agonizing screams.
07:10When I woke up, Riot and Lucien were guarding my bedside, looking completely exhausted.
07:15The moment I opened my eyes, a burst of joyful light hit their faces.
07:20Layla, you're finally awake.
07:26It's my fault I couldn't protect you.
07:31Lucien, a man who had never shed a tear, finally broke down and sobbed.
07:34I couldn't even save my own sister! I should just cut my hands off!
07:39Reet's eyes were filled with tears too.
07:42He raised his dagger, placing it right against his wrist, ready to strike downward.
07:47I closed my eyes and swallowed down my bitter tears.
07:52How could I blame you guys?
07:54I gave a bitter smile.
07:55I can only blame my bad luck.
07:58I only blamed myself.
08:00I loved the wrong man, and I trusted the wrong people.
08:03Their expressions grew even sadder, but there was no guilt at all.
08:07Layla, the healers, said,
08:09Your womb was carved out by those Rogals.
08:12I'm afraid you can never get pregnant again.
08:16But don't worry.
08:17No one will ever know about this, including what happened at the mating ceremony.
08:24I will never think you're dirty, Layla.
08:26You will always be the one I love.
08:28Just focus on healing.
08:30If you really want pups, later on we can adopt a pup, okay?
08:34Lucien looked at me so carefully.
08:36As if scared, I might break down.
08:39Adopt a pup?
08:40Serena's pup?
08:41I didn't even deserve to have a pup of my own.
08:45Why would they ever let me claim Serena's pup as my own?
08:49I'm begging you.
08:51Can you please give me my womb back?
08:54Reith and Lucien only looked confused.
08:57It was already stomped to mush by those Rogues.
09:00How could we possibly find it?
09:02Layla, don't dwell on this anymore.
09:04I swear I'll never let anything like this happen again.
09:08Just treat this as the very last thing I ever ask of you, please.
09:19You silly girl, how can you say it's the last thing?
09:22We'll find whatever you want for you.
09:27I pretended to be asleep.
09:29They lowered their voices by my bed.
09:33I already sent word to my mother, Victoria, and the head Elder.
09:36I told them Layla leaned up with the Rogues and slept with them in public.
09:41The Elder's methods can be quite cruel.
09:44I literally can't bear to watch Layna suffer.
09:47So I'll leave first in a bit.
09:50I also informed our parents.
09:52They already know Layla has no shame and slept around.
09:54They'll be coming over soon, to request that Layla be stripped of her Luna title.
09:59If we didn't need the Council's approval to break your engagement with Layla, I would never let her go through
10:05this kind of pain.
10:06Lying on the bed listening to their conversation, my heart felt like it was ripped in half.
10:13After they left, the Alpha's mother, the former Luna, Victoria, arrived with the Council elders.
10:19My scandal had shocked the entire pack.
10:22Victoria covered her nose as she walked up to my bed.
10:25You slutty bitch! How dare you seduce filthy rogue wolves and whore around right at the Alpha's mating ceremony!
10:36Victoria, don't be mad.
10:38Yes, the Luna committed this filthy, disgraceful act and humiliated the Alpha and the pack.
10:42But she got wrecked by filthy rogues, too.
10:44She can't even have pups anymore.
10:46Luna is already pitiful enough.
10:48Just leave her alone.
10:51Her? Pitiful?
10:52It would actually be satisfying if those filthy things had just torn her to pieces!
10:58Starting today, the engagement between the Alpha and Layla Winston is a mold.
11:02She is no longer the Luna of this pack.
11:06Banish her from the pack right now!
11:08She waved her hand.
11:10Drag her out.
11:11Today, I'm going to show everyone exactly who the shameless, embarrassing disgrace really is!
11:17The yard outside was packed with rogues, smirking lewdly.
11:21No matter how I screamed, those bastards dragged me all the way to the main gates.
11:25Every passing person stopped in their tracks.
11:28With mockery, disgust, and pure hatred, they stared down at me as I lay pinned beneath those mutts.
11:36Help! Save me!
11:37I struggled and shrieked.
11:39But no one cared.
11:41They were just watching the show.
11:44Heard this she-wolf was desperate for attention.
11:47Always sneaking into the training grounds, claiming she was guarding the territory.
11:51I say she was just going there to seduce men.
11:53What a slutty whore.
11:56Just a bitch!
11:57I heard she was warring around with rogue wolves right in front of the pack elites and her parents.
12:08She made her parents so mad they passed out on the spot.
12:12Leila!
12:12Right then, my father hurried over.
12:19Right then, my father hurried over with a dark face.
12:25Father, save me!
12:26Broken words squeezed out of my throat.
12:29Father.
12:30I reached out my hand in utter despair.
12:32I prayed my father would believe me, would save me.
12:36This was the man who once loved me to death.
12:40A whip cracked across my face, shattering the very last of my hope.
12:45I can't believe I raised such a slutty daughter.
12:47I am so ashamed to face the Alpha.
12:51Starting today, LeWynn's name is erased from the Blood Moon pack.
12:54You are no longer my daughter.
12:59Father, I'm innocent!
13:01I grovelled at his feet in the dirt, crying and begging.
13:05Please save me!
13:07My tears fell into the dust.
13:08My head was covered in blood.
13:10But Father just looked at me coldly and dropped one last sentence.
13:14You disgust us, Leila.
13:16If you still have any conscience left, you should just go die.
13:19Tears blurred my vision.
13:21They blurred Father's retreating figure.
13:24Should I go die?
13:25But what did I even do wrong?
13:28I just thought I was marrying the love of my life.
13:31Lucien rushed over from the street corner.
13:33Who gave you permission to touch Leila?
13:36His face was twisted with fury, as if my pain truly tore at him.
13:41Victoria!
13:42What will it take for you to let Leila go?
13:44I said it before, I will only love Leila in this lifetime.
13:46No matter what she becomes or what mistakes she makes, I love her!
13:50You're completely out of your mind.
13:52Victoria was so pissed, she actually snatched the whip nearby and charged over.
14:01She's nothing but a whore!
14:03Why are you so attached to her?
14:05If you won't give Leila and me your blessing, then I will take the punishment right alongside her.
14:17Victoria covered her chest in anger, swinging the whip over and over again.
14:22Lucien shielded me tightly.
14:24He took those lashes without making a single sound.
14:27He looked at me with deep affection, as if he truly loved me with every fiber of his being.
14:33But my heart had already turned to ash.
14:36I violently shoved him away and collapsed under the shadow of the whip.
14:41I've been banished by the pack.
14:43I'm no longer your Luna.
14:45I looked right at Lucien, and spoke as he avoided my gaze.
14:49Since the Alpha and your mistress Serena love each other so much, let her be your Luna.
14:57As you wish.
14:58Lucien hugged me tight.
15:00He was trembling.
15:01I couldn't tell if he was sad for me, or just thrilled Serena could finally be his Luna.
15:07Leila, don't worry.
15:08Serena and I are just putting on a show.
15:10You are the only one I will ever love.
15:12We'll be together forever.
15:13Forever is too long, Lucien.
15:15I don't want to love you for another second.
15:19Once I get that gift ready, I will leave this place for good.
15:24When I woke up again, I wasn't in my old bedroom.
15:26I was in a dim storage room.
15:29The air was full of dust and dampness.
15:32I coughed for so long that blood began to seep from my wounds.
15:36I kept yelling for a long time.
15:39Finally, a maid walked in and snapped.
15:41What are you yelling about?
15:43Where am I? Why did you bring me here? My throat is incredibly dry. My wounds are bleeding. Please get
15:52me some healing saves.
15:53You're just a lowly mistress. What right do you have to order me around?
15:58The Alpha ordered us to clear out the storage room for you. Only our noble new Luna gets to stay
16:05in the Alpha's bedroom.
16:07She scoffed.
16:08The Alpha and the new Luna are holding their mating ceremony very soon.
16:12The Alpha specifically ordered not to be disturbed, so he can keep the new Luna company.
16:17Don't even try to fake an illness to seduce the Alpha.
16:20It felt as if countless ants were gnawing at my heart.
16:24When I said nothing, the maid gave a cold snort and left.
16:27Still think she's the precious Luna!
16:29Her scandal is all over the pack!
16:31I heard the Blood Moon pack officially wiped her name out!
16:34The room was as freezing as an ice cellar.
16:37But their mockery pierced my heart far deeper than the cold air.
16:41Shrinking under the freezing blanket, I kept coughing.
16:44Bloody water continuously rolled down my throat.
16:47The door opened.
16:49My former maid, Maya, was thrown inside.
16:51Her face was covered in bruises.
16:54The second she saw me, her eyes turned red.
16:58Layla, I'm so useless.
17:00I couldn't even find a tiny bit of healing save or a brazier.
17:03She leaned over my bed and cried.
17:08They said they had to prepare for the Alpha's ceremony.
17:11They had no time to call a healer.
17:13They even locked the door and refused to let me out.
17:16Layla, what are we going to do?
17:20Coughing hard, I pointed at the things covered in dust piled up in the room.
17:25Go get those things and burn them.
17:27In this freezing winter, without a brazier, we would freeze to death.
17:31Maya carried them over, one by one, shock and grief written all over her face.
17:37I recognized every single item.
17:39Layla, these…
17:41Surprisingly, they were all things I used to give Lucian as gifts.
17:45Everything from a short dagger to a leather tunic I designed myself.
17:50They were all here, gathering dust, colors fading, just like our past love.
17:55I spaced out for a moment.
17:57No wonder I never saw him carrying around any of my gifts all these years.
18:01He always told me,
18:03The gifts Layla gives me are treasures that must be stored away safely.
18:07Turns out, they all just became garbage in the storage room.
18:10I let out a miserable laugh.
18:13Are these things any different from me or Mon Yerle?
18:16I said softly,
18:17Burn them all.
18:20The items were thrown into the fire, one by one.
18:23The very last item was a photo of Lucian and me.
18:27He claimed he kept it in his breast pocket, so he could look at it every day.
18:31But right now, it was just tossed in the corner of the storage room, collecting dust.
18:36On the back of the photo, he had personally written,
18:39Lucian and Layla will be together forever.
18:42I snatched the photo and threw it right into the flames.
18:47Together forever?
18:49Liar!
18:50The firelight reflected off my pale cheeks.
18:54Maya finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.
18:57Layla, they're saying the alpha of Serena so much because she saved his life.
19:02They said he was ambushed and poisoned by rogues.
19:06And Serena saved him to repay a debt.
19:09But you were the one who saved the alpha, Layla.
19:11To save the alpha, you even sacrificed your own pup.
19:14Layla, if we tell the alpha the truth, he will definitely win you back.
19:17Maya said frantically.
19:19And Beta Reek! He was lied to as well.
19:23Everyone is saying Serena took a silver blade for Beta Reek, which is why he cherishes her so much.
19:29They Beta the Reach.
19:30But you were the one who took that silver blade for him.
19:34Layla, hold on.
19:36As long as I find a chance to escape and tell the alpha and the beta the truth, they will
19:40definitely...
19:45She probably saw the bitter smile on my face and stopped talking.
19:49Is that really true, Nick?
19:51Say she really did save them back then.
19:53Did I deserve to be treated like complete trash?
19:56What gave them the right?
19:57Just to repay a kindness, they brutally hurt me, framed me and carved out my womb.
20:02What gave them the right?
20:04What gave them the right?
20:05I grew up with the alpha since childhood.
20:08A bond of over 20 years.
20:10What does it even mean to him?
20:14When I was getting married, they even tossed the mating gift Reedy gave me in here.
20:19For the very first time, I opened the box.
20:22Inside were just cheap, low quality stones.
20:26Not even a single decent piece of jewelry.
20:29And this was the mating gift my brother Reet put so much thought into for me.
20:35Tears fell onto them.
20:37I threw them all into the fire.
20:39Just to repay a favor, Reet allowed the alpha to hurt me, trash me and banish me from the pack.
20:47Then what about his oath to protect me for the rest of his life?
20:51What about all those times I bled by his side on the battlefield?
20:54I was his right hand woman!
21:00What do all those years of feelings even mean?
21:04It was such a flimsly lie.
21:07Why couldn't they see right through it?
21:14It was an accident. And look, it's so tough.
21:17But I'm not a stone.
21:18I bleed.
21:20I choke down a sob.
21:22And I refuse to be that stone anymore.
21:25Just to be slammed to the ground and trashed by them over and over.
21:30I refuse to waste the rest of my life, these two worthless men.
21:34When I woke up again, Lucetian was sitting by my bed.
21:38Seeing me awake, he instantly pulled me into his arms.
21:42You clearly know I only mated with Serena to protect you.
21:46Why did you set the storage room on fire to vent your anger?
21:50Did you know hearing about the fire almost scared Serena into premature labory?
21:57I coldly shoved him away.
22:00Staring at the suggestive bite marks on his neck, I gave a cold laugh.
22:04I was freezing to death.
22:06Is it a crime to start a fire to stay warm?
22:11Did the fire scare Serena into early labor?
22:14Or did you two just fuck too hard?
22:20I promise you, this is the last time.
22:23He tried to feed me the herbal brew.
22:26I know you mind Serena, but I really just wanted to repay her kindness.
22:31When I was poisoned back then, I had to mate with a she-wolf to draw the poison into her
22:35to survive.
22:37Serena risked everything to save me.
22:41She saved you, so of course you repay her.
22:44But what does that have to do with me?
22:47Did I deserve to be ruined by you two like this?
22:51What nonsense are you talking about?
22:56Your bad luck caused you to end up like this.
23:00It has absolutely nothing to do with Serena or us.
23:03He knocked the bowl over.
23:04The boiling brew splashed onto my wounds.
23:08You're completely insane.
23:10I took everyone's mockery for you.
23:12I even went and begged the head elder and the council to cancel your banishment.
23:16Instead of being grateful, you're blaming me.
23:18He was beyond furious.
23:19His chest heaved as he stared at me with pure disappointment.
23:23I was so wrong about you, you don't even compare to Serena.
23:27When I spoiled you and neglected her before, she never blamed me once.
23:33She defended me everywhere and even risked her life for me.
23:38And you?
23:39Why didn't you save me when I was poisoned?
23:44I gave a bitter laugh.
23:46Lucian, you make me sick.
23:48You're asking me where I was?
23:50Then why didn't you ever wonder about those three months you were poisoned?
23:53Why did I never show up?
23:55Where did I actually go?
23:57If you had looked into it for even one second, you'd know the truth.
24:03Don't tell me you were the one who saved me and you had to go into hiding because the poison
24:07was too deep.
24:08You think I'd buy that crap?
24:10I turned my face away to hide my tears.
24:14Since you refused to believe me, I have nothing left to say.
24:20You're just too stubborn.
24:27You're awake.
24:28After Lucian left, Serena walked in wearing a sheer nightgown.
24:32The bare skin on her shoulders was covered in suggestive bite marks.
24:37She chased the maid out.
24:40Layla, you're so pitiful.
24:42You used to be so arrogant.
24:43But soon you'll have to beg me for scraps like a dog.
24:47No, I'll make you live worse than a dog.
24:49I want you to kneel by our bed, watch us, and clean up every mark your beloved man leaves on
24:57my body.
24:57I ignored her.
24:59My heart was long dead.
25:00Her words couldn't hurt me anymore.
25:02But compared to humiliating you, I'd much rather you just die early.
25:07That way, you can never steal Lucian away again.
25:12She clapped her hands.
25:14The door suddenly pushed open.
25:16Stood a pack of filthy rogue wolves, their eyes glowing green.
25:22Serve our former Luna well.
25:23Make sure her final send off is nice and comfortable.
25:28Well, well. Pretty little thing.
25:31Did you enjoy us last time?
25:32Looking at those faces constantly flashing in my nightmares, I screamed in absolute terror.
25:37Get away from me!
25:40Please, let me go!
25:42Serena, please, I'll leave the territory.
25:44I promise I will never come back and I will never fight you for Lucian.
25:48The season!
25:52Fear made me forget every ounce of my dignity.
25:54I just kept begging for mercy.
25:56What's going on in there?
25:57Suddenly, footsteps echoed outside the door.
25:59It was ripe and Lucian.
26:00A final burst of survival instinct flared inside me.
26:03Before I could even scream for help, Serena threw herself into their arms, sobbing controllably.
26:08Alpha! Riot! Save me!
26:11I was worried about Layla's health, so I kindly came to see her.
26:14I never expected her to actually hire rogues to rape me.
26:18She said if I got defiled by rogues too, you two would definitely despise me.
26:23You're totally unhinged.
26:25How dare you try to hurt Serena!
26:27You deserve to die!
26:28Riot charged furiously and slapped me hard across the face.
26:34You fucking bitch!
26:36I was blind enough to think you were depressed and to have rice keep you company.
26:40I can't believe you still never learn.
26:42To actually go after Serena, she's pregnant!
26:45A bitch like you just needs to die!
26:48Whatever Serena turns into, she is everything to us.
26:52You disgusting bitch!
26:54You deserve to live lower than a cheap whore!
26:58Enforcers, lock her up with these rogues.
27:03He pointed at me and ordered the rogues.
27:05Whatever she hired you to do to Serena, do it to her.
27:08Ten times worse.
27:11If she survives, I will slaughter every last one of you for Serena!
27:16With that, he scooped Serena up into his arms and left without looking back.
27:21Rythreet stared coldly as I reached my hand out to him for help.
27:24He grabbed it and snapped my wrist bone.
27:27I screamed in pure agony.
27:29He just scoffed.
27:31Just die, you whore.
27:32After coaxing Serena to sleep, the two men looked toward the storage room building.
27:37Did I go too far?
27:38Ryth frowned.
27:41Forget it.
27:42If she still doesn't admit her mistake by tonight, I'll have a healer look at her tomorrow.
27:45Those rogues, they're helpers she hired herself.
27:48They won't actually hurt her.
27:51They're just gonna scare her a bit.
27:53Right as he finished speaking, a thick plume of black smoke suddenly billowed from the storage room.
28:01Right after that, a massive explosion went off.
28:04The building collapsed, Phlymes shooting into the sky.
28:07Alpha, bad news! The Luna! She set herself on fire!
28:13Impossible!
28:14Rhett and Lucien shot up to their feet, their faces lit deathly pale by the firelight.
28:19Layla is definitely playing tricks!
28:21No one is allowed to put out the fire! Let her burn! Let's see if she still dares!
28:28Rhett paced back and forth, but his eyes stayed glued to the flames.
28:32Last time she set a fire, she almost scared Serena into early purgey.
28:37Is she trying to pull the same stunt?
28:41But this fire was entirely different from the last one.
28:44Panic set in. They quickly walked outside.
28:47We can't let her keep burning it. Serena is still here.
28:49Enforcers! Enforcers, put out the fire!
28:53Lucien frantically tried to rush into the flames, but was held back by the Enforcers.
28:58No!
28:59Serena also ran out.
29:00Leia is definitely just scaring you guys again, trying to shock me into early labor.
29:06Why won't she just let me go?
29:09They completely ignored her, still trying to rush into the fire.
29:13She blurted.
29:14She's playing games! She's definitely not in there!
29:17She's probably hiding somewhere right now, just watching you freak out!
29:21My stomach hurts so much! The pup's coming!
29:24Alpha! Wreath! Hurry up and take me to the healer!
29:29You're about to give birth!
29:30What are you doing out here? If your stomach hurts, why didn't you stay inside?
29:34Lucien was also panicking.
29:36He brushed her off.
29:38I'll have someone call the midwife. You go back first.
29:41We have to save Layla. We can't tend to you right now.
29:45Serena stomped her feet in anger.
29:47She waned to Rape.
29:49Rape, I think the baby's coming. Will you walk me back?
29:52But Rape only stared at the flames right now. His eyes were full of panic and terror.
29:58For the first time, he ignored Sienna's whining and charged headfirst into the fire.
30:04The burning ruins were filled with charred bodies. The more he searched, the harder his heart pounded.
30:09Finally, he found a bloody, mangled body in the corner.
30:12A heavy object had crashed down, burning the person beyond recognition.
30:16The only way he could recognize me was by my broken wrists.
30:21Layla!
30:21He screamed, heart shattered, trying to lunge forward.
30:26The next second, the storage shelves collapsed, completely swallowing the body in the flames.
30:31The enforcers rushed in and forcibly dragged him out.
30:34Rape collapsed to the ground, staring at the burning house until his eyes felt ready to split.
30:42We caught a rogue trying to escape.
30:43The enforcers walked over, holding down a man with half his face burned off.
30:49Rape raised his blade to hack him down.
30:51I'll slaughter you!
30:56The man dropped to his knees, begging.
30:58Spare me! We were just following orders! It was you who ordered us to defile the Luna!
31:03Lucien's expression changed instantly. He rushed over, grabbed him, and looked closely.
31:10It's you. It really is you. How could it be you? How could Layla possibly you guys to put on
31:16an act?
31:16Aren't you already dead?
31:19We were wrong. How could Layla possibly hire the people who defiled her to put on an act?
31:24Someone else hired them to hurt her. We blamed her wrongly. We got her killed.
31:29Impossible.
31:31Rhett was shaking all over.
31:32I gave them strict orders to throw you all in the dungeons to await execution.
31:38Didn't you have someone?
31:39The rogue begged continuously.
31:41Someone had us rescued and told us to go again!
31:44Serena suddenly screamed. Bloody water flowed down her thighs.
31:48It hurts so much! The baby is coming!
31:52She pointed at the rogue, crying.
31:54I'm so scared!
31:56Alpha! Right! Hurry up and take him away!
31:59Seeing her bleeding, Lucien ignored his grief and immediately scooped her up, rushing outside.
32:03Call the healer! Now!
32:04Riot wiped his tears.
32:06Looking at the burned-down house, he muttered,
32:09Layla, rest in peace. I will find out who did this to you.
32:14I already know who killed my lady.
32:16Maya walked out with red eyes, giving him a miserable smile.
32:21Weren't you the ones who forced her to her death?
32:23Are you satisfied now?
32:27Her healing salves.
32:29You blocked the healers.
32:31You gave her no food.
32:33And no heat.
32:35Did you know she had to burn every single thing she owned just so she wouldn't freeze to death?
32:42Reet's face went pale.
32:44Impossible. I gave them strict orders.
32:47Maya sneered.
32:49Well, it's a good thing they didn't listen to you.
32:51Otherwise, I wouldn't have escaped to fulfill Layla's final wish.
32:54She handed over a cloth bundle.
32:56These are her belongings.
32:58And the farewell letter Layla told me to give you.
33:03Reet, I asked someone to find the war healer who saved you back then.
33:06If you just ask him, you'll know exactly who took that silver blade for you.
33:12As for the alpha's poison, find Albert, the healer from back then.
33:16Open this bundle and you'll understand everything.
33:19Great, Maya said coldly.
33:21Layla told me she heard every word you and the alpha said.
33:24Rahit collapsed to the ground, his heart feeling like it was ripped open alive.
33:30Serena kept screaming from the bedroom.
33:33But Lucien felt zero joy about becoming a father.
33:37Was he wrong?
33:38It seemed he had personally murdered the woman he loved the most.
33:42Alpha!
33:43A familiar voice called out.
33:46Ocean looked up.
33:47It was Albert, the healer who cured his poison years ago.
33:50Albert, you're here.
33:51My Luna is giving birth.
33:53Get in there and check on her.
33:53That poison was too strong back then.
33:55I'm terrified it left lasting damage on her and the pup.
33:57Giving birth?
33:58Albert looked completely baffled.
33:59How could she give birth?
34:01That's impossible.
34:02I just saw the Luna last month.
34:04Impossible.
34:05The pup in her belly was already twisted and dead from the poison.
34:10She was crying so hard that day.
34:13What?
34:14Did you ever see Serena?
34:16I had Serena staying at the healing quarters for six months.
34:18Because marrying Layma, marrying completely broke.
34:20She started wasting wasting.
34:21Albert looked completely confused.
34:23Of course I'm talking about Leia.
34:24She was the one who cured your poison back then.
34:30Lucien's face turned gorsally pale.
34:32He stumbled and almost fell.
34:34What? How is that possible?
34:36Layla couldn't have been pregnant.
34:37How could it be her?
34:40I let her carry that twisted dead pup's all the poison in her body would draw into it.
34:46She was terrified you'd blame yourself and grieve so she begged me to keep it a secret.
34:54Lucien trembled violently.
34:55No wonder I kept crying and begging them for my womb back.
34:58Wasn't that the exact moment I tried to tell him the truth?
35:01But he never gave a damn.
35:02He suddenly remembered the questions I asked him.
35:05Why didn't he look dreams for me during those three months continued?
35:08In the end, he was just looking for an excuse all along.
35:11An excuse to make his precious first love the Luna.
35:15Thump.
35:16The truth finally came out.
35:18Ryle and Lucien uncovered everything that had happened over the past few years.
35:23Piece by piece.
35:24Crime by crime.
35:25Exactly how Serena tormented me, all of it was laid bare.
35:29Everything was dragged into the light.
35:32Serena had slept her way into power.
35:34Gotten pregnant by another man and pinned the child on Lucien.
35:39I actually got the woman I loved the most killed.
35:43All for such a vicious bitch.
35:49When our parents heard the news, they passed out on the spot.
35:53Wright was dragged to the council chambers for trial.
35:55You bastard!
35:57How could you be so utterly ruthless to your own sister, Layla?
36:02Years later.
36:04Rumor had it that a crippled outcast had appeared in an abandoned mill within the territory.
36:10Some said that wrenched woman looked exactly like the mistress the Alpha used us to spoil to death.
36:17But none of that has anything to do with me.
36:20Even though I can never have pups in this lifetime, I hold no regrets.
36:25Over the years, I've saved dozens of orphaned pups.
36:29I love them as if they were my very own, raising them to grow up safe and sound.
36:35Looking at the beautiful weather outside the window, I let out a soft sigh.
36:41Time for me to go guide the pups.
36:44What lies ahead is my brand new life.
