Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I married Alpha Evan out of gratitude. For three years I guarded his pack. Yet Evan never loved me. He
00:00:09marked my sister before the whole pack. Everyone thought my sister was the pureblood Luna. Evan blamed me for being
00:00:16infertile.
00:00:17You're a freak. Everyone mocked the golden-eyed freak, never knowing I was the true Luna heir. When the truth
00:00:24comes out, they will be shocked.
00:00:27Three years since I married Alpha Evan, Alpha Joseph's son. Alpha Joseph died shortly after I married Alpha Evan, and
00:00:34I kept my promise.
00:00:35As long as I remain within his territory, my Luna power automatically forms a protective barrier, warding off all invading
00:00:41rogue werewolves.
00:00:42I love Evan with all my heart and have given everything for him. Yet I have never managed to melt
00:00:47his cold heart.
00:00:48His heart has always belonged to my younger sister, Selina. Even after Selina abandoned him cruelly long ago, he still
00:00:54clings to memories of her.
00:00:55For three years I wrapped the entire pack in my Luna barrier blocking every wave of rogue attacks.
00:01:01I loved him silently, yielded to him every night, and waited patiently for his mark.
00:01:05One day, after our intimacy, I cling to a faint hope. Evan, I've stayed by your side for three years.
00:01:13Won't you give me the mate mark I've always longed for?
00:01:16Three years and you still can't conceive an heir? You're nothing but a freak with golden eyes. How dare you
00:01:22even beg for my mark?
00:01:23A useless freak? Who do you think has been shielding your pack in silence all these years?
00:01:29Shield my pack. Don't make me laugh. Your wolf power isn't even half as strong as Selina's.
00:01:35A cursed golden eyed outpiece like you could never hold a candle to her. Stop deluding yourself.
00:01:39Evan leaves without looking back. He saw me as nothing more than a worthless golden eyed freak.
00:01:44Unworthy of his mark. Unworthy of a place by his side.
00:01:48He assumed I was weak and decile. Too dependent on this pack to ever leave.
00:01:53But his cold indifference killed every last bit of affection in my heart.
00:01:59Luna, Alpha Evan has instructed you to get ready.
00:02:02You are to attend the marking banquet the main mansion tonight.
00:02:05Here is the banquet gown prepared for you.
00:02:07A glimmer of fragile hope stirred in my heart.
00:02:10Perhaps he had only spoken harshly earlier, intending to give me a surprise to finally acknowledge me and bestow his
00:02:15mark upon me.
00:02:16When I stepped into the main hall, champagne roses bloomed everywhere, and a huge banner reading Welcome Pack hung on
00:02:25the wall.
00:02:26Then I saw him, my husband, my mate, my Alpha, holding someone else in his arm.
00:02:34My sister Selina.
00:02:36Let me make an announcement to everyone here.
00:02:38Today, I will place my exclusive mark upon my one and only mate, Selina.
00:02:46My heart didn't just break.
00:02:47It plunged to a frozen abyss, shattering into a million jagged spards of ice.
00:02:52If he is marking her, if he is claiming my sister in front of the world, then what am I?
00:03:03The second the words left his lips, I froze on the spot.
00:03:06The roses blooming all through the hall were the very romance I'd never dared to dream of.
00:03:11The grand Welcome Pack banner hanging overhead mocked every foolish hope I'd clung to only moments before.
00:03:17Evan led Selina forward to a stop.
00:03:20Her gown was cut in the exact same style as mine, yet hers was encrust with diamonds, far more lavish
00:03:26by comparison.
00:03:26Evan had humiliated me on purpose, dressing me in an identical design but of far poorer quality.
00:03:32Selina put on a soft, gentle front and spoke to me in fake sweetness.
00:03:36Dear sister, thank you for coming all this way to witness my marking ceremony.
00:03:41I kept my eyes locked on Evan, my voice shaking with held back emotion.
00:03:45Why her?
00:03:46I've sacrificed so much for you.
00:03:49I stayed loyal by your side for three whole years.
00:03:53What good are all your sacrifices?
00:03:55Those eerie eyes of yours repel me, and you can't even bear airs for the pack.
00:03:59You were never half as good as Selina, not then, not now.
00:04:03Evan lifted his hand, brushing it lightly along Selina's neck, then bowed his head to leave his claiming mark on
00:04:09her slowly and tenderly.
00:04:11When the mark was fully set, he slowly raised his eyes, scanning the bustling crowd before his gaze locked firmly
00:04:17on mine.
00:04:18Cheers and applause burst out across the hall at once, loud blessings ringing through the air, yet every sound sliced
00:04:24right through my heart like a sharp knife.
00:04:26One of the pack elders stepped up onto the dace.
00:04:28He swept his gaze over the crowd, his tone grave and agmatic.
00:04:31As many of you know, our pack has long kept a secret.
00:04:34Among us lives a she-wolf who carries the rare pure-blood Luna lineage.
00:04:38The question we all wonder is this, who could she be?
00:04:44The pack members broke into quiet murmurs, all guessing who the she-wolf with hidden pure-blood Luna lineage might
00:04:50be.
00:04:50Amid the buzzing whispers, Charlotte, Evan's mother, and the pack's reigning Luna rose slowly from her grand ornate throne atop
00:04:56the dace, carrying herself with unbridled arrogance and authority.
00:04:59There's no need for pointless speculation.
00:05:02It can only be Selina.
00:05:04She boasts exceptional wolf talent and immense innate power.
00:05:08I have always known she is the fated one.
00:05:10I never thought Joseph would act recklessly and force Evan into a marriage with Isabella.
00:05:15A smug smile tugged at Selina's lips.
00:05:17She gave a slight, polite bow.
00:05:20Thank you for your kind praise and recognition, Luna Charlotte.
00:05:23I stepped forward before I could stop myself, holding her gaze straight.
00:05:29What gives you such certainty that it must be Selina?
00:05:33Charlotte let out a mocking laugh, as if I'd told the most absurd joke imaginable.
00:05:36She raked her eyes over me coldly, full of contempt.
00:05:39Could it possibly be you?
00:05:41A freak with unnatural golden eyes, good for nothing.
00:05:45Do you truly think you are worthy of possessing the noble pureblood Luna lineage?
00:05:50Stop indulging in foolish fantasies.
00:05:53The second her words fell, the whole hall erupted in mocking laughter, thick with scorn and disdain.
00:05:58I turned to Evan, clinging to a faint hope that he would stand up for me, that he would grant
00:06:04me even the smallest bit of fairness.
00:06:06But Evan made no move to defend me at all.
00:06:09His expression turned icy instead, his voice laced with revulsion.
00:06:13You would do best to leave the ceremony of your own accord.
00:06:17Staying here will only bring you further shame and make a public fool of yourself.
00:06:23If you refuse to go, you may tend to the guests in the kitchen and keep to yourself quietly.
00:06:31Evan's cold, dismissive words cut straight through me, sharp and biting to the bone.
00:06:36Every eye in the room lingered only on Selina, bright with anticipation.
00:06:41It was as if everyone already took it for granted, that her so-called Luna divine power would lead Evan's
00:06:47pack to new prosperity.
00:06:49I'd borne endless humiliation for far too long, endured endless scorn and mockery from those around me.
00:06:55All the grief and resentment I'd kept locked inside finally spilled over.
00:06:59The true bearer of the pure-blood Luna Tinergy is not...
00:07:02Selina.
00:07:04It has always been me.
00:07:06The hall burst into mocking laughter once again.
00:07:09Charlotte doubled over, clutching her stomach, mocking me without restraint.
00:07:13Evan and Selina shared a disdainful smirk, dismissing my words as ridiculous ravings.
00:07:19Have you lost your senses?
00:07:23How dare a golden-eyed freak like you claim the pure-blood Luna lineage for yourself?
00:07:31Evan's brows drew tight, his tone sharp and unforgiving.
00:07:35Isabella, are you spouting nonsense out of jealousy now that I've marked Selina?
00:07:40Stop making a fool of yourself.
00:07:42No one in the room believed a word I said.
00:07:45Their jeals pricked my heart like a thousand needles,
00:07:48staring at their hypocritical, ugly faces.
00:07:50I only felt cold amusement and chose not to explain myself any further.
00:07:55When I fell quiet, the crowd quickly lost interest in me,
00:07:58turning their full attention back to Selina.
00:08:00Evan slipped an arm around her waist,
00:08:02his fingers brushing lightly over the fresh mark on her neck.
00:08:05From this day forward,
00:08:06Selina's Luna divine power will shield our pack and keep us safe and at peace.
00:08:14When she saw I still hadn't moved an inch,
00:08:17the smug look on Selina's face faded a little,
00:08:20replaced by impatience and haughty condescension in her tone.
00:08:24Dear sister,
00:08:25if you know what's best for yourself,
00:08:27gather your things and leave for home at once.
00:08:29Father is waiting for you there.
00:08:31Don't linger here and ruin everyone's celebration.
00:08:34I stood perfectly still,
00:08:36my expression unchanging,
00:08:37merely staring back at her with quiet indifference.
00:08:40I am keeping my oath to Alpha Joseph by remaining here to watch over Evan's pack.
00:08:45I will not leave
00:08:46until my three-year vow is fulfilled.
00:08:49The smile on Selina's face frozen instantly,
00:08:51then twisted into a cold, calculating smirk.
00:08:53She stepped half a step nearer and lowered her voice,
00:08:56letting only me hear her words.
00:08:58A vow?
00:08:59Sister, you're far too naive.
00:09:01Evan's pack has never needed your protection,
00:09:03nor will it ever accept a golden-eyed freak like you.
00:09:07Today, I'll make sure you're driven out of this place for good.
00:09:09The moment she finished speaking,
00:09:11she lurched backwards suddenly,
00:09:12her legs giving way as she crumpled heavily to the floor.
00:09:15She pressed her hands to the corners of her eyes
00:09:17and raised her voice sharply,
00:09:19letting it ring out across the entire hall.
00:09:21Sister, I know you're jealous of me,
00:09:23but you have no right to push me like this.
00:09:26I hadn't shifted a single step from where I stood.
00:09:28The cheering in the hall died away in an instant.
00:09:31Every pair of eyes fixed on us both
00:09:33filled with disdain, accusation,
00:09:35and the cold dislatchment of onlookers
00:09:37ready to watch a spectacle unfold.
00:09:39Evan rushed over at once,
00:09:40lifting Selina gently into his arms
00:09:42and holding her close in a protective embrace.
00:09:43He shot me an icy glare,
00:09:45rage blazing in his eyes.
00:09:48Isabella, you've crossed every line.
00:09:50From this day on,
00:09:51I formally disavow you and cast you out of the pack.
00:09:54You are forbidden from ever stepping foot
00:09:56on our territory for the rest of your life.
00:10:01I stayed rooted to the spot
00:10:02as Evan glared at me like he could kill with his eyes,
00:10:05the air between us turning icy cold.
00:10:08I didn't hurt Selina.
00:10:10She fell on her own.
00:10:12Evan leaned down to strope Selina's back gently,
00:10:14then looked up again,
00:10:16his rage so intense
00:10:17it felt like it could burn me to the ground.
00:10:19Do you really think I'd believe the lies
00:10:21of a golden-eyed freak like you?
00:10:23Selina just got my mark,
00:10:24and she's still weak.
00:10:25How dare you touch her?
00:10:27Charlotte stepped up beside Evan,
00:10:29her eyes dripping with even more disdain,
00:10:31her voice sharp enough to cut.
00:10:33Isabella, you still won't admit what you did.
00:10:36Your excuses only make you more disgusting.
00:10:39A filthy creature like you
00:10:41belong locked up in the dungeon.
00:10:42Evan pulled Selina behind him,
00:10:44unleashing his overwhelming alpha aura
00:10:46in a heartbeat.
00:10:48Icy pressure washing over the entire hall.
00:10:50He started the formal mate rejection
00:10:52right there in front of everyone.
00:10:53No trace of regret in his eyes.
00:10:55Only pure coldness and contempt.
00:10:57I, Evan, reject you as my mate.
00:10:59I lifted my eyes to meet his gaze,
00:11:01my voice as calm as a frozen lake.
00:11:03I accept your rejection.
00:11:05The mate bond snapped suddenly,
00:11:06a searing, tearing pain
00:11:07shooting through every part of my body.
00:11:09The agony of the bond breaking hit first,
00:11:11and then tears slipped silencedly down my cheeks.
00:11:13The mate bond that had held us together
00:11:15for three years was breaking apart,
00:11:16fading little by little,
00:11:17each piece throbbing with a dull ache.
00:11:19But none of that pain came close
00:11:21to the cold emptiness in my chest.
00:11:23I curled my fingers tight,
00:11:24nails digging deep into my palms,
00:11:26forcing myself to bear the searing agony.
00:11:28You can't bear airs.
00:11:29The worst shame an alpha could ever face.
00:11:32Selina's nothing like you.
00:11:34She carries the pure-blood Luna Linerage,
00:11:36and only she's worthy of standing by my side,
00:11:39bearing my strongest pups,
00:11:41and leading the pack to greater glory.
00:11:45Selina leaned comfortably in Evan's arms.
00:11:48Her eyes glinting with a taunting edge,
00:11:51as she stared at my disheveled state.
00:11:54Sister, why are you still standing here?
00:11:57If I were you,
00:11:58I'd hurry up and pack my things to leave.
00:12:00Don't linger here being a bother.
00:12:02Watching them throw jabs back and forth,
00:12:04their contempt plain as day,
00:12:06my mind wandered back to a memory from long ago,
00:12:08of being rescued.
00:12:10Out on the frozen plains,
00:12:11caught in wind and snow,
00:12:12I lay wounded and gave me a second chance.
00:12:15It was Joseph he told me I carried an extremely rare,
00:12:18pure-blood Luna lineage.
00:12:19Later, on his deathbed,
00:12:21he held my hand tight,
00:12:23his gaze earnest,
00:12:24as he begged me to protect Evan and his pack
00:12:27with everything I had.
00:12:28Joseph, look at what's become of us.
00:12:30For three years,
00:12:31I've guarded your pack faithfully,
00:12:33warding off rogue attacks this entire time.
00:12:35I've even quietly nourished the pack lands
00:12:38with my Luna energy,
00:12:39making them stronger and more thriving
00:12:40with each passing day.
00:12:42Yet now,
00:12:42your own son chases me away.
00:12:44I've seen his true colors clearly.
00:12:46He's never been worth my protection.
00:12:48In that moment,
00:12:49the last bit of gratitude I'd felt for Joseph
00:12:51vanished completely.
00:12:53I'd kept my promise,
00:12:54and my debt was paid in full.
00:12:56Evan,
00:12:57after these three years,
00:12:58I owe you nothing,
00:12:59and I owe your pack nothing either.
00:13:02I only hope you never come to regret this day.
00:13:05Evan let out a scoff of disbelief,
00:13:07looking away from me in disgust,
00:13:09his tone again and dismissal.
00:13:10Regret?
00:13:12Cutting loose a burden like you
00:13:13is the smartest thing I've ever done.
00:13:15Now get out of my sight.
00:13:16Now.
00:13:17The mate bond shattered entirely.
00:13:19Not a single thread of connection left between us.
00:13:21Just then,
00:13:22Evan's brows fronted sharply,
00:13:24his alpha aura tensing up in an instant.
00:13:26Many pack members looked up too,
00:13:27their expressions on edge.
00:13:28A faint yet thick rustling sound
00:13:30drifted from the edge of the manor,
00:13:32low and menacing.
00:13:33It was the sound of rogues closing in,
00:13:35hundreds of miles away and closing fast.
00:13:39Little did they know,
00:13:41with me reject and cast out,
00:13:43my all-encompassing luna protection barrier
00:13:45had vanished,
00:13:46completely.
00:13:47The feral rogues I'd held back,
00:13:49kept at bay for three long years,
00:13:51were now charging straight for their borders in droves.
00:13:55And now that I'm gone,
00:13:57how will a weak alpha,
00:13:58paired with a fake mate
00:13:59who has no true luna power at all,
00:14:02defend this pack against thousands of bloodthirsty rogues?
00:14:08Get to the pack perimeter now
00:14:10and check out that noise.
00:14:11Waste any time,
00:14:13and you'll pay with your lives.
00:14:15Yes, sir.
00:14:18You're scared, Evan.
00:14:20This is what happens when you reject me.
00:14:22The rogues are closing in.
00:14:23Spare me your empty threats and delusional garbage.
00:14:25I formerly banished you.
00:14:27Know your place and leave.
00:14:28My pack hasn't seen a rogue in years.
00:14:30Do you really think you can curse us?
00:14:31You're just spouting nonsense out of spite for being cast aside,
00:14:35trying to stir up trouble.
00:14:36Exactly.
00:14:37Isabella, you can't stand being thrown out,
00:14:39so you want to curse our pack?
00:14:40I see your true colors now.
00:14:42You're cruel to the core.
00:14:43If the rogues really come,
00:14:45you'll be the first one they grab.
00:14:46Let's see who's there to protect you then.
00:14:48Watching their hypocritical, colliding faces,
00:14:50I felt nothing but cold amusement.
00:14:52There was no point in wasting another word on them.
00:14:55I'd kept my promise, settled all scores.
00:14:57No reason to linger in this repulsive place any longer,
00:15:00putting up with their endless mockery and disdain.
00:15:03But the second I took a step to leave,
00:15:05Charlotte rushed over and cut me off.
00:15:06Hold it right there.
00:15:08You're not going anywhere.
00:15:11Isabella, Evans formally marked Selina,
00:15:13and the pack's true Luna is now in her rightful place.
00:15:16It's time you hand over that emblem.
00:15:17This sacred treasure, a symbol of the pack's glory,
00:15:20has no business resting on a freak like you.
00:15:22Exactly.
00:15:23Such a precious relic can't be tainted by someone unworthy.
00:15:26It belongs to me,
00:15:27the one who carries the pure-blood Luna lineage.
00:15:30Lady Luna Charlotte,
00:15:32I can feel the power in this emblem calling to me.
00:15:34Could it be,
00:15:35is the hidden pure-blood Luna lineage inside me finally waking up?
00:15:38Do you really believe that's what's happening, Selina?
00:15:41It has to be true.
00:15:43Only a noble, pure, silver-eyed werewolf
00:15:45is worthy of wearing this emblem.
00:15:47Not like some outscat who's clung to a sacred relic for years,
00:15:50can't even bear an heir,
00:15:51and wastes its power for nothing.
00:16:12It burns!
00:16:16Only those with true Luna blood can bear this emblem.
00:16:19A fake like you will never be worthy of it.
00:16:25Isabella, did you do this?
00:16:27Did you use witchcraft to control the Aelum and hurt me on purpose?
00:16:30You cruel bitch!
00:16:32You just can't stand to see me happy!
00:16:36Isabella, you've gone too far.
00:16:38Pushing her wasn't enough,
00:16:39so you stooped to dirty tricks with dark witchcraft to hurt her again?
00:16:43How low can you get?
00:16:45His voice held a desperate urgency I'd never heard from him before.
00:16:49His fingers brushed gently around the burning wound on Selina's chest,
00:16:52his touch impossibly tender and careful.
00:16:55The very tenderness I'd stayed by his side for three years,
00:16:58craving, yet never once getting.
00:17:00I'd never sink that low.
00:17:02I'd never degrade myself by using such vile garbage as witchcraft.
00:17:05I finally got it.
00:17:06It wasn't that he couldn't be tender.
00:17:08It was just that his tenderly was never meant for me.
00:17:10Why?
00:17:12You wore this emblem for three years and never had a single problem.
00:17:16Why does it hurt Selina the second she touches it?
00:17:19Could it be...
00:17:21Could you be the real pure-blood Luna after all?
00:17:27Everyone froze, their eyes turning straight to me,
00:17:30filled with shock, doubt, and utter disbelief.
00:17:33No!
00:17:33It can't be!
00:17:35Evan, she only grew used to the emblem's aura from wearing it for so long.
00:17:39She is never the true pure-blood Luna heir.
00:17:42She must have cast witchcraft on the emblem beforehand to hurt me on purpose!
00:17:46Ah!
00:17:48Evan, do not let your mind wander.
00:17:50It is all Isabella's doing.
00:17:52Out of jealousy towards Selina, she schemed in secret,
00:17:55making the emblem harm Selina to confuse everyone's judgment.
00:17:59This outcast has a vicious heart.
00:18:05Do you really think I'd believe some golden-eyed freak is the true Luna heir?
00:18:09Ridiculous.
00:18:09You're just a petty, useless outcast begging for a title you don't deserve.
00:18:13Now get out and don't dare tarnish them Selina with your presence.
00:18:15Stop loitering here and getting in the way.
00:18:17Leave the main packhouse at once and never show your face to us again.
00:18:20Listening to these absurdly absurd accusations,
00:18:23I finally let out a cold laugh.
00:18:25There was no warmth in it at all.
00:18:26Carry all the forbearance and heartbreak of these three years.
00:18:33I walked out of the main packhouse step by step.
00:18:36Three years of protection had only earned me betrayal, blame, and banishment.
00:18:41Even the last trace of hope in my heart was completely shattered.
00:18:44I pushed open the door to my home.
00:18:46Live room done was dent.
00:18:48And my father Marcus sat on the sofa with a cigarette between his fingers,
00:18:51undisguised mockery in his eyes.
00:18:54He lifted his gaze to me at the sound of footsteps.
00:18:57What happened?
00:18:58Driven back in disgrace after Evan broke your mate bond?
00:19:01I always knew a freak with strange eyes like you could never hold an alpha's heart,
00:19:05nor deserve the position of Luna.
00:19:06He took a good drag from his cigarette and exhaled the smoke slowly.
00:19:10Fortunately, I have two daughters.
00:19:12Selina is far more promising than you.
00:19:14Now that Evan has marked her,
00:19:15she will soon become the pack's Luna and bring me endless glory.
00:19:19Unlike you, born with those unlucky golden eyes never able to succeed at anything since childhood.
00:19:24When I was young, Selina was always the only one seen on the pack training grounds.
00:19:28Father claimed silver eyes stood for pure lineage,
00:19:30and only Selina deserved formal training.
00:19:33I could only hide in the corner, watching them laugh and rejoice.
00:19:36I possessed the very power they valued, yet no one ever taught me how to wield it.
00:19:40With time, everyone came to see me as a powerless, useless nobody.
00:19:44Not even my father had ever truly looked at me with kindness.
00:19:47Marcus stood up and walked before me.
00:19:49Looking down at me from above,
00:19:50there was no trace of fatherly affection in his eyes, only cold calculation.
00:19:54Now that Evan has cast you aside, you have no more use left.
00:19:57I raised you all these years.
00:19:59I cannot keep feeding you for nothing.
00:20:01I have sold you to a crude, low-rank werewolf from the black market.
00:20:04Though he is poor and unculturated,
00:20:06he is willing to borrow a large sump to buy you.
00:20:11Father, what are you saying?
00:20:13Sell me?
00:20:14I refuse.
00:20:15Refuse?
00:20:16What right do you have?
00:20:17You cannot even bear children.
00:20:19Not qualified enough to be a breeder.
00:20:21What good are you besides being sold off?
00:20:26Father, selling someone of my lineage will bring you retribution.
00:20:31Retribution?
00:20:31All I know is keeping you is a waste of food.
00:20:33Selling you brings real profit.
00:20:35Where is any retribution?
00:20:36I clenched my fists, my voice shaking with a screed and defiance as I met his gaze directly.
00:20:40Part of the money from selling you to buy Selena top-class gown.
00:20:42Dressed in fine luxury, Evan will love her even more.
00:20:45To buy a dress for Selena.
00:20:46To win her Evan's affection.
00:20:47My own father was willing to cast me straight into hell.
00:20:50He called out toward the door, and two tall pack members stepped inside.
00:20:53Seize her and lock her in a cage.
00:20:54Do not let her escape.
00:20:55Deliver her to the black market at dawn morrow.
00:20:57They grabbed my arms roughly, gripped so tight it felt as though they would crush my bones.
00:21:01I struggled in vain, and shock faded completely into icy despair in my heart.
00:21:05In the storeroom, a cold iron cage already waited.
00:21:08They shoved me inside and slammed the lock shut.
00:21:10The faint golden glow in my eyes grew brighter.
00:21:13I held the strength of a pure-blood luna, yet I was treated as worthless cargo to be sold off.
00:21:18Never given the chance to unleash my power.
00:21:20Dawn had barely broken when footsteps echoed outside.
00:21:23I lifted my head to see Evan standing at the storage room entrance with Selena in his arms.
00:21:26Selena stepped forward to peer through the iron bars, her tone dripping with feigned sympathy and hypocrisy.
00:21:31Sister, I have no choice.
00:21:33It is father's decision.
00:21:34I tried to persuade him, but he would not listen.
00:21:37Just resign yourself to being a slave.
00:21:39I will serve well as the Pax Luna from now on.
00:21:41Solidify my position, and live up to everyone's expectations.
00:21:44Marrying you in the first place was nothing but my father's momentary foolishness.
00:21:48Foolish enough to treasure an outcast like you.
00:21:49Looking back, breaking our mate bond in time was the wisest choice I ever made.
00:21:53With that, he turned to Selena beside him and stroked her hair gently.
00:21:57The very tenderness I had longed for countless times.
00:22:00Yet in this moment, watching the scene unfold, I felt nothing at all.
00:22:04No sorrow, no resentment, only utter emptiness and calm.
00:22:08My three years of devotion had long worn away under his endless cruelty and prejudice.
00:22:13I even found it laughable that I had once held any hope for such a cold, selfish man.
00:22:17Evan lowered his head to brush her hair fondly and was about to speak.
00:22:20A pack member rushed inside in a panic, his voice trembling.
00:22:24Alpha Evan, disaster.
00:22:25Several pack members have been found dead at the territory border,
00:22:28their bodies reeking of strong rogue scent.
00:22:30The tenderness on Evan's face vanished in an instant.
00:22:33His expression turned taut, filled with disbelief.
00:22:35What?
00:22:36Rogues?
00:22:37No rogues have ever come near our borders in three years.
00:22:40How could our people be killed all of a sudden?
00:22:41He frowned deeply, his gaze slowly falling on me as he looked me up and down.
00:22:46A flicker of doubt and disbelief crossed his eyes, his tone tentative.
00:22:50Could it be the reason no rogues drew near all these years was because of you?
00:22:55Was that the real reason my father Joseph insisted you stay by my side?
00:23:00The moment Selina heard this, she clung tightly to Evan's arm,
00:23:04eager to quiet his doubts and turn all blame onto me.
00:23:06Evan, do not entertain such foolish thoughts.
00:23:09How could it ever be her?
00:23:10She is nothing but a useless freak with strange eyes.
00:23:13What great power could she possibly possess?
00:23:16She must hold a grudge after you rejected her and father sold her away.
00:23:20She lured the rogues here on purpose to get revenge and destroy our pack.
00:23:24The doubt in his eyes faded completely, replaced by deeper loathing and rage.
00:23:28You are right.
00:23:29How could I ever believe an outcast holds such great power?
00:23:31It was you who lured the rogues here out of spite, getting our own people killed.
00:23:34His voice turned icy and killing Intect blazed in his eyes.
00:23:38I am heading to deal with the murders at the border now.
00:23:41I will settle this score with you when I return.
00:23:44Selling you to the black market is far too lenient.
00:23:47By rights, a vicious outwrit like you deserves hanging to comfort the souls of the fallen pack
00:23:51members.
00:23:51With that, he did not spare me another glance.
00:23:54Wrapping an arm around Selina's waist, he turned and left quickly, his footsteps fading away,
00:23:58leaving me alone in the cold iron cage.
00:24:01I curled up on the cage floor and stared toward the door.
00:24:03Evan, you will regret this.
00:24:05Before long, two pack members hurried over.
00:24:07They roughly unlocked the cage, grabbed my arms, and dragged me out of the storage room,
00:24:12shoving me into an old transport vehicle.
00:24:14After an endless ride, the vehicle finally came to a stop, and the door swung open,
00:24:18flooding the space with harsh sunlight.
00:24:20I was dragged out and thrown onto the ground.
00:24:22This place was the black market for low-rank werewolf trades, filled with females sold as
00:24:26breeders, outcasts auctioned off as slaves, every face etched with numbness and despair.
00:24:30I had no idea who would buy me next, nor what cruel fate awaited me.
00:24:36Two pack members pressed down hard on my shoulders, forcing me forward unsteadily.
00:24:40Soon they stopped and pushed me before a man.
00:24:42Sebastian, we have brought the girl to you.
00:24:44Marcus instructed us to hand her over personally.
00:24:46The man lifted his eyes slightly, saying nothing at first, only looking me over with a cold,
00:24:51emotionless expression.
00:24:52He wore rough, tattered clothes faded from wear with several tears here and there.
00:24:56Yet his frame was broad and powerful, his shoulders as solid as a wall.
00:24:59His features were sharp and stern, his jawline tight with shovel lining his jaw.
00:25:02A wild, unapproachable aura clung to him, giving him a down-broughten yet dominazing air.
00:25:06Rest assured, she is untouched.
00:25:10Only she failed to bear an air for Alpha Evan.
00:25:13Be quiet.
00:25:15His voice was deep and horsey with a rough edge, impatience clear in his tone.
00:25:19The pack member flinched in fright, bowed quickly and retreated.
00:25:22Only the two of us remained.
00:25:24He said nothing, simply looking down at me with an unnerving calm.
00:25:27No greed, no judgment, only unyielding dominance.
00:25:31Let go of me!
00:25:32Sebastian glanced down at my reddened wrist, loosening his grip slightly yet still refusing to release me.
00:25:37Save your words.
00:25:38Just come with me.
00:25:41Up close, I saw his eyes held unfathomable depth,
00:25:44hiding a quiet restraint and an innate nobility beneath his rough exterior.
00:25:48Even in ragged clothes covered in dust, his hidden sharp aroma could not be concealed.
00:25:52Somehow, the moment he touched my wrist, the werewolf's spiritual power inside me stirred restlessly.
00:25:58Heat spread through my veins to every corner of my body, making my breath quick up uncontrollably.
00:26:06The wolf inside me roared wildly, its cry echoing clearly and urgently in my heart.
00:26:11I pushed down the swirling confusion and flutter in my chest, and followed him silently forward, uncertain of what lay
00:26:18ahead.
00:26:18The car traveled for a long time before finally stopping outside a plain wooden cottage.
00:26:22It was not large, even simple in design, yet spotlessly clean.
00:26:25Even the weeds in the yard were neatly trimmed.
00:26:27A stark contrast to his rough, hawked around to my side and steadabled me gently.
00:26:31His touch was soft and restrained, nothing like his brusque manner earlier.
00:26:35I looked up at him, my confusion deepening.
00:26:38All that roughness and coldness had truly been nothing but a mask he wore at the black market.
00:26:43Beneath it lay unexpected gentleness, leaving me utterly unable to read him.
00:26:47I followed him inside.
00:26:49The furnishings were simple, only a wooden sofa, a dining table, and two closed doors.
00:26:53Yet everything was immaculate and orderly, the table polished bright enough to see one's reflection.
00:26:58It was clear the place was carefully tended.
00:27:00I stood frozen, thinking to myself, now that he has bought me from the black market, I am his property
00:27:05after all.
00:27:06I ought to learn to wait on him and tend to his needs.
00:27:11Let me take your coat for you.
00:27:12It is covered in dust.
00:27:14No need.
00:27:15The moment my fingertips brushed the hem of his coat, Sebastian stepped back intinctively, evading my touch.
00:27:22I pulled my hand back, a trace of disappointment settling in my heart, unable to understand why he treated me
00:27:28with such cold distance.
00:27:33I... I want to do something for you.
00:27:35I can't idle around all day.
00:27:38Sebastian glanced up at me, his tone cold and distant.
00:27:41There's nothing you need to do.
00:27:43Just stay by my side at night.
00:27:45I've already arranged a maid to look after you.
00:27:47My heart sank immediately.
00:27:48We were bound by blood, faded mates, yet he only saw me as someone to warm his bed and satisfy
00:27:53his desires.
00:27:54He treated me even worse than Evan ever did.
00:27:56Just then, a slim young girl stepped out of one of the rooms.
00:27:58She had sharp, unrigally eyes and her hair tied in a neat ponytail.
00:28:02The moment she laid eyes on me, her expression turned icy.
00:28:04She frowned openly, looking unimpressed, her voice edged with sarcasm.
00:28:08Brother, is this the girl you tried so hard to buy?
00:28:11She looks plain, skinny, and those golden eyes are a freak.
00:28:16What's so special about her that you'd go all out?
00:28:21Ella, watch your tone.
00:28:24Ella pouted, shot me a sharp glare, said nothing else, then turned and slammed her door shut, clearly resentful.
00:28:33At that moment, maid Clara walked over with a glass of water.
00:28:37She stopped as soon as she saw me and gave a respectful slight bow.
00:28:41Miss, my name is Clara.
00:28:45I'll be your maid and take care of your daily needs.
00:28:48For the next week, Sebastian left early and returned late.
00:28:52Every night, he would be intimate with me, possessive, yet always keeping an emotional distance.
00:28:59Could it be that in his eyes, I would never be worth genuine care, never worthy of being his rightful
00:29:05mate?
00:29:07Lately, my werewolf powers had been acting strange.
00:29:11My monthly spiritual cycle was long overdue.
00:29:15Sebastian remained secretive, never letting anyone know where he went during the day.
00:29:20His nightly closeness felt deliberately detached.
00:29:24The huge, wooden house always felt empty without him.
00:29:28Loneliness coiling around me like creeping vines.
00:29:31Restless, I turned on the PAC News channel.
00:29:34One news report made me race felt made me freeze on the spot.
00:29:39Reporter.
00:29:39Marcus of the Blood Moon Tack died mysteriously at home last week.
00:29:43No visible wounds were found on his body, and the cause of death remains unknown.
00:29:47Alpha Evan has ordered a full investigation, with no new leads released so far.
00:29:52I stared at Marcus' photo on screen, tightening my grip on the remote.
00:29:57I felt a twinge of conflict inside, but mostly quiet relief.
00:30:02Father, you brought this on yourself.
00:30:04You sold me off like merchandise-y without a second thought,
00:30:08ignored me completely, and treated Selina and me nothing alike.
00:30:12What happened to you now is your own fault.
00:30:14No one else is to blame.
00:30:17Right after I spoke, a wave of sudden nausea rushed up my throat.
00:30:21I clamped a hand over my mouth and rushed to the bathroom, throwing up, feeling weak all over.
00:30:27Clara happened to bring fruit by and hurried over to steady me.
00:30:31Miss, are you alright?
00:30:32You look unwell.
00:30:34I'll go fetch a healer right away.
00:30:36Please hold on.
00:30:37I nodded weakly.
00:30:39Soon, Clara returned with a werewolf physician.
00:30:41There's no need to worry.
00:30:43You're perfectly healthy physically.
00:30:45The nausea, vomiting, and unstable spiritual energy are all symptoms of pregnancy.
00:30:50I stared at the physician in shock.
00:30:52The woman Evan mocked as Behrend, the one my own father dismissed as unfit to bear offspring,
00:30:57was now carrying a child.
00:31:01My mind was in chaos.
00:31:03I tried reaching Sebastian through the werewolf mind link, hoping to tell him quietly I was pregnant.
00:31:08But no matter how I sent my thoughts, there was only silence from his side.
00:31:12No reply at all.
00:31:16I was growing anxious when a messenger from Werewolf Academy arrived at the door, clearly flustered.
00:31:25Is Mr. Sebastian home?
00:31:27Miss Ella got into a fight at the youth training camp and hurt another student.
00:31:31The school is asking for a family member to come sort this out immediately.
00:31:34Sebastian was still nowhere to be found, and the mind link still wouldn't connect.
00:31:38I was the one he'd bought at the black market.
00:31:40With no one else available, I had no choice but to go in his place and settle the dispute at
00:31:45the academy.
00:31:49Werewolf Academy stood on neutral land, independent of any pack,
00:31:53where young werewolves from all clans came to train and study.
00:31:57I drove to the academy alone.
00:32:00In the distance, I saw Ella being lectured by a middle-aged woman whose back was turned to me.
00:32:07Ella and another boy were called into the dean's office.
00:32:10I walked over to speak to the woman.
00:32:12There's no need to embarrass a pup like this.
00:32:14We can talk this over calmly.
00:32:16When I got a clear look at her face, I realized it was Evan's aunt, Martha.
00:32:20Martha looked me up and down slowly, her gaze full of contempt, her tone sharp and cut.
00:32:24Well, look who decided to show up.
00:32:27Kicked out of your pack, sold to the black market by your own father, and now you live like a
00:32:31nobody.
00:32:33How dare you meddle in our family's business.
00:32:39I met her gaze without an ounce of timeliness.
00:32:41My life is none of your business.
00:32:43Even after being sold, I've re-stooped as low as you,
00:32:46lambed onto your pack power, bullying the weak and picking on a pup in public.
00:32:51Martha's face turned dark, firing back without remorse.
00:32:55Me bullying her?
00:32:57Ella started it.
00:32:59She had tapped my son Jack first.
00:33:01Am I allowed to discipline her?
00:33:04I knew very well Jack had always been arrogant and dominant in Evan's territory,
00:33:09always picking on the weaker students and never stayed out of trouble.
00:33:13Ella is quiet by nature and never picks fights for no reason.
00:33:17She only lashed out because your son mocked and provoked her first.
00:33:20Left lost for words by my reply, Martha flew into a rage,
00:33:25dropping all pretend of politeness and raising her hand to slap me.
00:33:31I blocked her instinctively.
00:33:33The moment our hands touched, a powerful invisible divine force purged out of me,
00:33:38pinning her rigidly face, unable to move a muscle.
00:33:43I was stunned myself, never expecting to suddenly awaken such power.
00:33:48Deep inside me, my wolf spirit spoke.
00:33:51Mistress, it is your pregnancy.
00:33:54The life growing inside you has fully awakened your dormant ancient lunar bloodline.
00:33:58Your divine power will only grow stronger from here on.
00:34:03I stood there completely dumbfounded.
00:34:08Trapped by my power, Martha stared at me in utter disbelief.
00:34:13What?
00:34:14You've never had formal werewolf training?
00:34:17A discarded outcast sold at the black market.
00:34:21How can...
00:34:22How can you wield such powerful divine magic?
00:34:27Just then, a cold, familiar voice came from behind me.
00:34:32I turned slowly to see Evan walking toward me.
00:34:35Selina clung tightly to his side, dressed in an elegant gown with perfect makeup,
00:34:39her eyes glinting with quiet amusement at the scene.
00:34:42Evan fixed me with a cold, stern look.
00:34:45Isabella?
00:34:46You've grown far too bold.
00:34:48How dare you lay hands on my aunt?
00:34:51You've lost all sense of manners and decency.
00:34:55Our mate bond was broken long ago.
00:34:57We have nothing left between us.
00:34:59Martha has always treated me with malice and scorn,
00:35:02and now she bullies a pup unjustly.
00:35:03I owe her no respect whatsoever.
00:35:05Evan scanned my plain, simple clothes from head to toe,
00:35:08his eyes filled with disdain.
00:35:11After being sold to the black market, you've become crude and reckless.
00:35:15Your manners are gone, you're dressed plain and shabby.
00:35:18Not a trace of your old poise remains.
00:35:20Beside him, Selina put on a soft, gentle act,
00:35:23pretending to mediate while secretly stirring up trouble.
00:35:27Evan, don't let this upset you.
00:35:29Sister has fallen so far now.
00:35:31Her judgment and grace are long gone.
00:35:33There's no need to argue with her.
00:35:35Evan frowned, stepping aside to avoid the crowd's gaze,
00:35:38then spoke to me in a low voice.
00:35:39Come with me. I need to talk to you privately.
00:35:42I followed him aside, growing impatient,
00:35:45wondering what he wanted now.
00:35:47Instead of answering right away,
00:35:48he leaned in and breathed in the scent of my hair.
00:35:51I've missed you a lot lately.
00:35:52His eyes lingered greedily on my neck
00:35:55as his hand drifted restlessly to my waist.
00:35:57I turned my head away to avoid him.
00:36:00Isabella, I miss being with you.
00:36:02Being with Selina, it's nothing compared to you.
00:36:05He almost sounded wronged, as if I owed him something.
00:36:07Then his tone turned cold as he mentioned the man who'd bought me,
00:36:10seething with jealousy at the thought of me
00:36:11belonging to a rough nobody.
00:36:13He stepped closer and lowered his voice.
00:36:14Come back and be my mistress.
00:36:15I'll give you mansions, jewels, silk gowns.
00:36:18Everything Selina has, you'll have.
00:36:20And more.
00:36:21I looked at his desperate, prideful act
00:36:23and suddenly laughed.
00:36:26Even if he had nothing at all,
00:36:29he's still better than you.
00:36:30That one sentence made his face burn red,
00:36:33as if I'd slapped him in public.
00:36:35I'd struck his fragile ego,
00:36:37thin as eggshell.
00:36:38Just then, Selina walked over from a distance,
00:36:41eyeing us suspiciously and asking what we were talking about.
00:36:45I shook my head and said nothing,
00:36:47but as several werewolves walked past,
00:36:48I deliberately raised my voice.
00:36:50There's something everyone should know.
00:36:51Evan
00:36:53is infertile.
00:36:57Evan spun around, glaring at me sharply.
00:37:00His wolf pupil slitted with rage and embarrassment,
00:37:02his face draining of color.
00:37:03The passing werewolves stopped and watched,
00:37:05whispering and slurkering,
00:37:07their mocking eyes burning into Evan.
00:37:09Selina froze on the spot,
00:37:11her smile fading instantly.
00:37:13She stared at Evan in shock and doubt,
00:37:16studying his flustered expression closely.
00:37:18I stayed calm and composed,
00:37:21gently placing one hand over my stomach,
00:37:23my tone steady and unyielding.
00:37:26I'm pregnant.
00:37:27You're delirious.
00:37:29There's no way you could be pregnant.
00:37:31I looked on indifferently,
00:37:32no longer bothering to explain myself.
00:37:35Believe it or not,
00:37:37I don't owe anyone an explanation.
00:37:39Martha stepped forward at once with a sneer.
00:37:41Pregnant or not,
00:37:43it's still just some low-class,
00:37:45werewolf's bastard child.
00:37:47Selina quickly agreed,
00:37:49her tone sharp and full of scorn.
00:37:52Exactly.
00:37:53Nothing to be proud of.
00:37:55She reeks of common werewolf aura.
00:37:59I leaned forward slightly,
00:38:01breathing in subtly when near the three of them,
00:38:03my voice thick with mockery and certainty.
00:38:05No matter my place now,
00:38:07I'm still better than the three of you.
00:38:09You all reek of rogue stench.
00:38:11Your pack is already overrun by rogue raids,
00:38:13barely holding itself together.
00:38:15Yet you still come to this neutral school
00:38:17to bully others and stir up trouble.
00:38:19My words hit Evan right where it hurt.
00:38:22I'd seen pack news long before now.
00:38:24Reporting his territory plagued by constant rogue attacks,
00:38:29leaving him stressed and sleepless.
00:38:32Evan paled instantly,
00:38:35his anger mixing with panic
00:38:36as he snapped back harshly.
00:38:40That's a lie!
00:38:42Don't spread rumors!
00:38:45My pack is perfectly safe.
00:38:51And no rogue troubles at all.
00:38:55Martha and Selina also paled,
00:38:57avoiding eye contact nervously,
00:38:59subtly suppressing their era
00:39:00to hide the rogue scent clinging to them.
00:39:02The onlooking werewolves began murmuring,
00:39:04looking at the three with obvious suspicion.
00:39:06Just then,
00:39:06the Academy's Elder Dean
00:39:08hurried over with a stern expression,
00:39:09raising a hand to quiet the crowd.
00:39:11That's enough!
00:39:12This is neutral Academy ground.
00:39:14No quarreling or disruption
00:39:15of student training will be tolerated.
00:39:18Ella and Jack were led out by school staff.
00:39:21Jack had faint scratch marks on his face.
00:39:24Ella kept her head down,
00:39:25her stubborn spirit clear as ever.
00:39:27I turned to Ella,
00:39:28softening my tone as I asked gently,
00:39:31Ella,
00:39:31what really made you fight Jack?
00:39:35I looked at Ella,
00:39:37her eyes red yet still forcing herself to stay strong.
00:39:40Stubborn by nature,
00:39:41she rarely showed vulnerability.
00:39:43But now,
00:39:44she could not hide her hurt,
00:39:46biting her lip to hold back her tears.
00:39:48Ella lifted her head sharply,
00:39:50her voice trembling yet firm.
00:39:52He started it first!
00:39:55Jack mocked me in front of everyone,
00:39:57said I didn't belong in the training camp,
00:39:59and called Brother Sebastian a nobody with no real power.
00:40:03Jack looked utterly unconvinced and fired back at once.
00:40:09It's the truth.
00:40:12I didn't make any of it up.
00:40:14Ella grew emotional,
00:40:15raising her voice.
00:40:16He even tugged at my wolf fur
00:40:18and shoved me against the wall.
00:40:20He pointed right at my face
00:40:22and called Sister a golden-eyed freak
00:40:24who couldn't bear pups,
00:40:25said you deserve being sold away.
00:40:28I held back again and again,
00:40:30but he just kept pushing me.
00:40:32I had no choice but to fight back.
00:40:35I stood frozen,
00:40:36my heart aching with emotion.
00:40:37I'd always thought I was nothing more
00:40:38than someone Sebastian had bought,
00:40:40that there was always a distance between Ella and me,
00:40:42that she'd kept her cold reserve towards me.
00:40:44I never imagined she would stand up for me so fiercely
00:40:47when others slandered and looked down on me.
00:40:48My gaze fell on her arms,
00:40:51marked with faint scratch wounds.
00:40:53A few tufts of wolf fur had been torn from her neck,
00:40:56and there was a faint bruise
00:40:58at the corner of her mouth.
00:41:00She looked worn and utterly heartbreaking.
00:41:05In that moment,
00:41:07memories of being wronged,
00:41:08mocked, and bullied relentlessly
00:41:09crashed over me like a tide.
00:41:11Shunned as a freak by Evan's pack,
00:41:12humiliated publicly by Selena,
00:41:14sold off like merchandise by my own father,
00:41:15branded barren by everyone around me,
00:41:17all the suppressed grief and resentment
00:41:18welled up inside,
00:41:19flaring into a fierce urge to protect Ella.
00:41:21I reached out and gently stroked her hair,
00:41:24calming the storm of emotion in my chest,
00:41:26then turned to face Jack,
00:41:28Martha,
00:41:29and the rest of them.
00:41:31Jack insulted others openly
00:41:33and resorted to violence first.
00:41:36Martha turns a blind eye to her son's wrongnings
00:41:39and enables his cruelty.
00:41:41Your own pack is overrun by rogues
00:41:43and barely holding on,
00:41:45yet you still find time to bully a pup
00:41:47and insult others.
00:41:49Isn't that both ridiculous and pitiful?
00:41:52The moment my words landed,
00:41:53Martha flew into a rage.
00:41:55She stepped forward abruptly,
00:41:56japping a finger straight at me
00:41:57and snapping sharply.
00:41:58Who do you think you are?
00:41:59How dare you judge us?
00:42:01My birth clan is the blood moon pack,
00:42:03my in-law's the silver flang pack.
00:42:05Say another word,
00:42:07and I'll have these two great packs
00:42:09pressure this academy.
00:42:10Not only will Ella be severely punished,
00:42:13I'll make you apologize to us,
00:42:16mother and son,
00:42:17in front of everyone!
00:42:19The elder in charge of the training camp
00:42:21hurried over,
00:42:22followed by several guards,
00:42:23his area commanding and un-
00:42:24Silence, all of you!
00:42:25Jack provoked, insulted,
00:42:27and attacked first.
00:42:27He must apologize sincerely
00:42:28to Ella and Isabella.
00:42:29Martha will no longer be a ladle
00:42:31in student affairs
00:42:31for turning a blind eye
00:42:32to right and wrong
00:42:33and abusing her status.
00:42:33Anyone else who stirs up trouble
00:42:35will be expelled from the academy permanently,
00:42:37never to be admitted again.
00:42:38He then turned to me,
00:42:39his tone softening noticeably.
00:42:41Lyman Queen,
00:42:42rest assured,
00:42:43this is neutral ground.
00:42:45No one shall harm you or Ella.
00:42:47You need not fear
00:42:48for the one watching over you
00:42:49from the shadows.
00:42:50He will always keep you safe.
00:42:55I stared at him in utter disbelief.
00:42:58Elder,
00:42:59you must have mistaken me
00:43:01for someone else.
00:43:02I'm no Lyon Queen.
00:43:03I'm just an ordinary werewolf.
00:43:05I could never deserve such a title.
00:43:07The elder shook his head faintly,
00:43:09his eyes deep and cryptic,
00:43:11gesturing for me not to press further.
00:43:13This is not the time to speak of it.
00:43:14The matter runs far deeper than you know.
00:43:16When the time comes,
00:43:17all will be revealed.
00:43:20For now,
00:43:21let us resolve what lies before us.
00:43:27At that,
00:43:28Evan, Martha, and Selina
00:43:29burst out in mocking laughter.
00:43:31Martha even clutched her stomach dramatically,
00:43:34sneering openly
00:43:35as she pointed at me.
00:43:37Elder,
00:43:37have you lost your wits?
00:43:39Or has this freak bewitched you somehow?
00:43:42Her?
00:43:43A lowly werewolf
00:43:44sold at the black market
00:43:45who can't even protect herself?
00:43:46The legendary Lycan Queen?
00:43:55What a ridiculous joke!
00:43:58Selina leaned close to Evan,
00:44:00her eyes filled with contempt.
00:44:01She raised her voice deliberately,
00:44:03making sure every watching werewolf
00:44:04could hear clearly.
00:44:06Exactly, Elder.
00:44:07The Lycan Queen is a noble existence
00:44:09who rules over all wolf clans.
00:44:10She's nothing but an outcast
00:44:12abandoned by her pack,
00:44:13mocked for being unable to bear young.
00:44:17How can you place such an exalt title
00:44:19on someone like her?
00:44:21The Elder's expression darkened at once,
00:44:23his imposing aura sweeping over the square.
00:44:25His eyes turned cold and sharp
00:44:27as he thundered,
00:44:29silencing every onlooker instantly.
00:44:34Hold your tongues!
00:44:35This neutral training camp
00:44:37is no place for your reckless arrogance.
00:44:39Speak ill of Isabella one more time,
00:44:41mock her again,
00:44:42and I will have all of you detained.
00:44:44Strip part of your wolf power,
00:44:45expels you from the camp,
00:44:46and bar you from ever returning.
00:44:48Martha tried to argue back,
00:44:50but froze under the Elder's icy stare.
00:44:54The words died in her throat.
00:44:56Furious as she was,
00:44:58she dared not act out any further.
00:45:00The Elder turned to Jack,
00:45:01who still looked stubbornly defiant.
00:45:04Jack, apologize to Ella and Isabella at once.
00:45:07Speak with genuine remorse
00:45:08and admit your faults.
00:45:09Refuse,
00:45:10and you will be expelled today.
00:45:12I will notify your pack,
00:45:13and you will never be allowed entry
00:45:14into any werewolf training camp again.
00:45:16Jack clenched his fists tightly,
00:45:18his face burninged with stubbornness and resentment.
00:45:21He glared fiercely at Ella,
00:45:23yet trembled under the Elder's overwhelming pressure,
00:45:26and finally lowered his head.
00:45:31I'm sorry.
00:45:35I shouldn't have called you a half-blood stray,
00:45:39insulted your brother,
00:45:40tugged your wolf fur,
00:45:41or pushed you against the wall.
00:45:43I apologize.
00:45:46Ella pressed her lips together
00:45:47and said nothing,
00:45:48only nodded faintly,
00:45:50the hurt in her eyes easing a little.
00:45:54Let's go.
00:45:56I'll settle this score with you two,
00:45:58sooner or later.
00:45:59Martha shook with rage.
00:46:00She shot a venomous glare at me and Ella,
00:46:02then grabbed Jack's arm roughly,
00:46:04her tone seeking with malice.
00:46:06Evan looked at me with complicated eyes,
00:46:07resentment, confusion,
00:46:08and a flicker of hidden unease.
00:46:10He shot the Elder a long, wary glance,
00:46:11yet dared not say another word.
00:46:13He turned and left the camp square
00:46:14with Martha and Selina,
00:46:15looking both furious and defeated.
00:46:16Before leaving,
00:46:17Selina glanced back at me
00:46:18with a sharp, hateful stare.
00:46:22I watched them leave,
00:46:23then turned back to the Elder,
00:46:25still utterly confused,
00:46:27my tone urgent.
00:46:29Elder,
00:46:30why do you keep calling me Lycan Queen?
00:46:32I'm not the person you think I am.
00:46:34My mate is only an ordinary werewolf.
00:46:37How could I ever bear such a title?
00:46:39The Elder shook his head slowly,
00:46:41his gaze deep with untold secrets.
00:46:43He motioned for me to calm myself,
00:46:45his tone cryptic yet laced with quiet warmth.
00:46:47This matter is of great consequence
00:46:49and touches countless threads of fate.
00:46:51I cannot reveal a single detail yet.
00:46:53Only remember this.
00:46:55Someone has been protecting you in the shadows.
00:46:57No matter what dangers lie ahead,
00:46:59you have nothing to fear.
00:47:00I turned to Ella beside me,
00:47:02wondering if she knew anything of this.
00:47:05Ella, does any of this make sense to you?
00:47:07Why would the Elder call me that?
00:47:10Ella smiled innocently and shook her head,
00:47:12then skipped off into the distance,
00:47:13her voice light and flaky.
00:47:14No idea, sister.
00:47:15You'll have to figure it out yourself!
00:47:17Back home, I pushed open the door
00:47:19to find Sebastian sitting quietly
00:47:20on the living room sofa,
00:47:21holding a Wolf Clan medicinal herb
00:47:23between his fingers, waiting for us.
00:47:24You're back.
00:47:26Did anything else happen at the camp?
00:47:29Has Ella been wronged again?
00:47:30Ella shook her head
00:47:31and walked over to sit beside him,
00:47:33leaning softly against his arm.
00:47:36I'm fine, Brother Sebastian.
00:47:38The Elder stood up for us,
00:47:39and Jack apologized.
00:47:41I stepped in front of Sebastian,
00:47:43my expression earnest and searching,
00:47:46unable to hold back the questions
00:47:47weighing on my mind any longer.
00:47:52Sebastian, I need to ask you something.
00:47:53Today at the training camp,
00:47:55the Elder called me like on Queen
00:47:56and said someone has been guarding me secretly.
00:47:58Do you know what this is all about?
00:47:59And you?
00:48:00What is your true identity?
00:48:01You've always hidden the truth from me on purpose.
00:48:03Sebastian's fingers stilled.
00:48:05He lifted his eyes to meet mine,
00:48:07his gaze flickering
00:48:08as he deliberately avoided my direct stare.
00:48:11Bella, some things aren't meant to be told yet.
00:48:14I can promise you this.
00:48:16I will never harm you or Ellie,
00:48:18and I will always protect you.
00:48:20All you need to do is trust me.
00:48:22I watched him evade my gaze,
00:48:24my confusion deepening by the second.
00:48:26A quiet hurt settled in my heart.
00:48:28The Elder wouldn't speak,
00:48:29and Sebastian chose to hide the truth too.
00:48:31It felt as if everyone held secrets about me,
00:48:35leaving me in the dark like a fool.
00:48:36I fell silent for a moment,
00:48:38my hand unconsciously drifting to my stomach,
00:48:40where a tiny life was growing,
00:48:42the only thing I clung to now.
00:48:44I lifted my eyes to him,
00:48:46my expression solemn.
00:48:48Sebastian, I'm pregnant.
00:48:50Sebastian froze visibly.
00:48:52He set down the herb slowly,
00:48:54a faint soft smile crossing his face,
00:48:56the corners of his mouth lifting.
00:48:59He was clearly happy.
00:49:01Yet his joy was far too restrained,
00:49:04too calm.
00:49:05There was none of the wild delight I'd hoped for.
00:49:07No flurry of worried questions,
00:49:09no tender touch.
00:49:11The glimmer of joy in his eyes faded almost at once,
00:49:14settling back into his usual quiet reserve.
00:49:18My heart sank heavily in that instant.
00:49:21Disappointment and uneases washed over me like a cold tide,
00:49:25swallowing me whole.
00:49:26I couldn't help but wonder,
00:49:28did he not want this pup at all?
00:49:30Was I and the life inside me,
00:49:32nothing more than a burden to him?
00:49:34I thought of being sold by my own father,
00:49:36abandoned by Evan.
00:49:38Of all the uncertainty I'd endured,
00:49:40my unease grew stronger until my fingers began to tremble faintly.
00:49:43I dared not look Sebastian in the eye,
00:49:46afraid of catching even a trace of distaste or impatience in his expression.
00:49:50I pushed down the ache and hurt in my chest,
00:49:52forcing a faint calm smile and nodding.
00:49:55I understand.
00:49:56You don't have to feel pressured.
00:49:58Night fell, and silence settled over everything.
00:50:00Moonlight spilled through the window onto the floor.
00:50:02I sat alone on the edge of the bed,
00:50:04gently resting a hand over my stomach.
00:50:06The weight of disappointment and unease grew heavier.
00:50:09More and more,
00:50:10I felt as though both I and my pup were nothing but a burden to Sebastian.
00:50:14Staying here would only be an annoyance,
00:50:16only wear him down further.
00:50:18Better to leave now.
00:50:19Go somewhere no one knows me.
00:50:21Give birth quietly.
00:50:23Raise my pup alone.
00:50:25And never be a chain holding anyone back again.
00:50:28With my mind made up,
00:50:30I rose quietly,
00:50:31moving without a sound.
00:50:32I opened my luggage and began packing silently.
00:50:34A few simple clothes,
00:50:36the wolf-tooth pendant Sebastian had given me Longo to ward off danger,
00:50:39some dried rations I'd saved.
00:50:41I folded everything carefully into a small bundle.
00:50:44Once packed,
00:50:45I walked to Ella's bedside
00:50:46and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead,
00:50:48my heart heavy with sorrow yet firm with resolve.
00:50:50Ella, I'm sorry.
00:50:52Sister can't stay with you anymore.
00:50:53Stay safe with Brother Sebastian and getting hurt the way I did.
00:50:56I wiped the tears from my eyes,
00:50:58slung the bundle over my shoulder,
00:50:59and closed the door softly.
00:51:02Under the cover of deep night,
00:51:04I stepped slowly out of Sebastian's home.
00:51:09I walked into the dark forest with my bundle.
00:51:11I'd barely taken a few steps
00:51:12when hurried footsteps sounded behind me.
00:51:14A shadow darted forward in pursuit,
00:51:16and his familiar scent wrapped around me in an instant.
00:51:19It was Sebastian.
00:51:20Bella, where are you going?
00:51:22It's the middle of the night,
00:51:24carrying a bundle.
00:51:25Are you leaving me?
00:51:26I pulled my hand away sharply,
00:51:28my eyes red-brimmed,
00:51:30tone stubborn and hurt,
00:51:32forcing myself to sound cold.
00:51:35Where I go is none of your business.
00:51:38Sebastian,
00:51:40don't trouble yourself over me,
00:51:42and don't feel ob-gayed.
00:51:44How can it not be my business?
00:51:47Bella, you are my mate.
00:51:49The pup you carry is my flesh and blood.
00:51:52Wherever you go, I go.
00:51:55How can you say this has nothing to do with me?
00:51:57His words shattered every wall I've put up.
00:51:59Long-suppressed grief and hurt burst free.
00:52:01I pound against his chest, struggling to break away.
00:52:04Mate, do you still remember I'm your mate?
00:52:07Sebastian, look at yourself.
00:52:09I told you I was pregnant,
00:52:10and this is how you react.
00:52:12No joy, no concern,
00:52:14not a single sincere word of care.
00:52:15You don't care about this pup at all,
00:52:17and you've never truly cared about me.
00:52:19I stopped struggling and stared straight into his eyes,
00:52:21tears streaming down my cheeks,
00:52:23my tone laced with self-mockery and despair,
00:52:26every word cutting deep into us both.
00:52:28You were just a buyer at the black market,
00:52:30and I was nothing more than a slave you purchased.
00:52:33Your kindness, your gentleness,
00:52:36only fleeting interest,
00:52:37only because I still have use to you.
00:52:40Isn't that the truth?
00:52:41You've never truly cared about me.
00:52:44Sebastian stuffened completely,
00:52:46holding me tighter.
00:52:47He gripped my shoulders,
00:52:49forcing me to meet his glaze.
00:52:50Bella, don't say that.
00:52:52I have never seen you as a slave,
00:52:54not for a single moment.
00:52:55I bought you for a reason.
00:52:59The forest seemed to darken all at once.
00:53:02A blood-red moon rose slowly over the horizon,
00:53:05its crimson glow spilling across the entire woods.
00:53:08Sebastian lifted his head
00:53:10and stared quietly at the blood moon,
00:53:12his expression solemn and grave.
00:53:14The wolf clan has an ancient fate law.
00:53:17Only when the blood moon rises
00:53:18will the royal seal be fully broken.
00:53:21No more need for pretense,
00:53:22no more hiding.
00:53:24The time has finally come.
00:53:26I stared at the eerie crimson moon,
00:53:28my heart tightening inexplicably,
00:53:31lost and stunned,
00:53:32waiting for him to go on.
00:53:35I was never an ordinary low-rank werewolf.
00:53:38I am the rightful heir to the Lycan throne.
00:53:41My elder brother plotted against me
00:53:43in secret to seize power.
00:53:45To survive,
00:53:46I had to hide my royal identity,
00:53:48suppress my true strength,
00:53:49lie low and bide my time,
00:53:52evading my enemies
00:53:53while gathering power
00:53:54to take back what was mine.
00:53:55His tone softened,
00:53:57laced with gentle remembrance.
00:53:59I've known you for a very long time.
00:54:01Years ago, on the frozen ice plains,
00:54:03I saw you ignoring the bitter cold
00:54:04to feed stray wolfpubs gently.
00:54:06In that moment,
00:54:07I was already drawn to you.
00:54:08I've watched over you silently ever since,
00:54:10following every twist of your fate.
00:54:11His voice turned tender with sorrow
00:54:13as he spoke of the past.
00:54:15When I learned Evan had cast you aside cruelly
00:54:17and your own father sold you off
00:54:19like nothing more than a breeder,
00:54:21I acted at once
00:54:22and bought you from Marcus.
00:54:23This was never a cold transaction.
00:54:26It was protection I planned long ago.
00:54:28A chance to save you.
00:54:32Sebastian let out a quiet sigh,
00:54:34his eyes filled with lingering helplessness
00:54:36and restraint.
00:54:36I kept my distance
00:54:37and acted cold towards you before
00:54:38because I'd long sensed
00:54:39you are a born pureblood Luna.
00:54:41Back then I was trapped in royal turmoil,
00:54:43surrounded by enemies,
00:54:43barely able to protect myself.
00:54:45I fear dragging you into danger,
00:54:47and I refuse to let someone
00:54:48as noble and pure as you
00:54:49stay hidden beside a fallen,
00:54:51disguised me.
00:54:51He lifted his gaze to the blood moon
00:54:53hanging high in the sky,
00:54:55his aura steady and regal,
00:54:57his expression calm with certainty.
00:55:00Now the blood moon has risen,
00:55:01fate has fallen into place.
00:55:02I have crushed my brother's schemes,
00:55:04quelled the internal turtle
00:55:04and reclaimed my rightful throne at last.
00:55:06I have officially ascended
00:55:07as the new Lycan king.
00:55:08He reached out and took my hand gently,
00:55:10his palm warm and firm,
00:55:12his gaze locked steadily on mine,
00:55:15sincere and earnest.
00:55:16Isabella, of course I care about our child.
00:55:18I have cared all along.
00:55:19I've waited far too long for this day.
00:55:20Once I could only guard you from the shadows.
00:55:22Now I hold the throne,
00:55:23and I have the power to shield you
00:55:24and our pup for a lifetime in peace.
00:55:25I wish to mark you properly,
00:55:26claim you as my one and only mate,
00:55:28and crown you queen of the Lycan clan.
00:55:29From this day forward,
00:55:30no one will ever dare hurt you again.
00:55:31I stared at the raw,
00:55:32unhovered affection and resolve in his eyes.
00:55:34All the grief, unease,
00:55:35and doubt I'd carried these days
00:55:36melted away in an instant.
00:55:38Emotion welled up inside me,
00:55:39and warm tears slipped slowly down my cheeks.
00:55:41I looked at him and nodded softly,
00:55:43knowing he meant to mark me for life.
00:55:46Night hung thick and dark.
00:55:48A blood-red moon hung high over the sky,
00:55:50bathing the entire forest in a faint crimson glow.
00:55:52Isabella waited eagerly for Sebastian to claim her mark,
00:55:55her eyes sparkling with quiet excitement and anticipation.
00:55:57Are you ready?
00:55:58This mark will bind you to me completely as my mate,
00:56:01and awaken the full strength of your pure-blood Luna lineage.
00:56:03Yes.
00:56:04Sebastian rested his hands gently on Isabella's shoulders,
00:56:07and pressed his warm lips to hers to leave his mark.
00:56:10There was a faint twinge of pain,
00:56:11yet Isabella did not flinch for a moment.
00:56:14Her gaze filled only with longing.
00:56:15The instant the mark settled Bastion's royal time
00:56:18with Isabella's pure-blood Luna energy,
00:56:20golden light swirled around them both,
00:56:22her golden irises blazing brighter than ever,
00:56:25as her ancient pure-blood era fully awakened within her.
00:56:29From this day on,
00:56:30I will never let anyone hurt you,
00:56:32never let you shed another tear.
00:56:33This mark is my vow to you.
00:56:36I trust you.
00:56:39Hidden in the shadows,
00:56:41Selina watched every moment unfold.
00:56:42She stared at their joined hands,
00:56:44consumed by bitter resentment.
00:56:46A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.
00:56:48She quietly pulled out her communicator,
00:56:50and reached out to Sebastian's elder brother William.
00:56:52Why should they have everything?
00:56:53I will take back what belongs to me,
00:56:55and make them pay for standing in my way.
00:56:57Sebastian looked down at Isabella beside him,
00:57:00brushing the soft smile from her lips with tender reverence.
00:57:02He knew he no longer needed to hide his identity.
00:57:05At last, he could protect her openly,
00:57:07without fear or pretend.
00:57:09I will protect you,
00:57:10protect our child,
00:57:11and cherish every part of who you are.
00:57:12No one will ever make you suffer again.
00:57:17Sebastian began preparing for the Lycan royal coronation ceremony.
00:57:20On that day,
00:57:21he would publicly reveal his true identity as the rightful royal heir,
00:57:24be officially crowned Lycan king,
00:57:25and formally proclaim Isabella the legitimate Lycan queen,
00:57:28honored and revered by all werewolf claims.
00:57:31Meanwhile,
00:57:32life grew increasingly bleak for Evan's blood moon pack.
00:57:35Stripped of Isabella's luna protection barrier,
00:57:37rogue packs began raiding their borders relentlessly,
00:57:39casualties mounted,
00:57:40their territory fell into ruin,
00:57:42and the entire clan twatered on the brink of collapse.
00:57:44Evan,
00:57:45if we carry on like this,
00:57:47the rogues will swallow our pack entirely.
00:57:49The new Lycan king's coronation is soon,
00:57:52and word spreads his power is unfathomable.
00:57:56If we can gain his favor,
00:57:58we'll never fear the rogues again.
00:57:59We weren't sent an invitation.
00:58:00This king has always lived in secrecy,
00:58:02cold and unpredictable.
00:58:03If we sneak in disguise to get caught,
00:58:05we'll only humiliate ourselves.
00:58:06Do we still care about pride?
00:58:07Saving our pack is all that matters.
00:58:09We'll dress common minor clan guests and blend into the crowd.
00:58:11Once we reach the royal dask,
00:58:13we'll find a chance to enratiate our son.
00:58:15Evan stared at his ravaged territory and his fading clan members.
00:58:18Overcome by desperation and ambition,
00:58:20he finally agreed to sneak into the coronation beside Martha,
00:58:22set on curing favor with the new Lycan king to secure his pack's survival.
00:58:26Upon hearing news of the ceremony,
00:58:28Selina chose not to go with Evan and Martha.
00:58:30She waited alone for William,
00:58:32Sebastian's elder brother,
00:58:34whom she had secretly allied with.
00:58:36Sebastian thinks he can claim the throne and reign in peace.
00:58:41William has already promised me he will seize power at the coronation.
00:58:45Once William overtows Sebastian and takes the crown,
00:58:48I will be his one and only queen,
00:58:52the true Lycan queen.
00:58:54I'll never again live in Isabella's shadow.
00:58:57She drowned herself in ambitious fantasies,
00:59:00waiting foolishly for William to appear,
00:59:02completely unaware she was nothing more than a pawn he had long been using.
00:59:07The Lycan holy mountain blazed with coronation splendor.
00:59:11Golden light spilled over the peaks.
00:59:13Royal guards standing tall with imposing presence.
00:59:15Powerful werewolf leaders from every clan filed in to take their seats.
00:59:19The entire sacred ground steeped in solemn grandeur.
00:59:21Evan and Martha dressed in plain outsider robes,
00:59:24blending silently into the guest crowd and slipping into the ceremony grounds.
00:59:27They gazed up at the luxurious royal days,
00:59:29watching the dignified clan leaders around them,
00:59:31envy clear in their eyes.
00:59:32Both resolved to seize any chance to win the new Lion King's favor and save their family.
00:59:36Their gaze drifted casually across the gathering,
00:59:39and they froze instantly,
00:59:40spotting Isabella and Sebastian standing side by side.
00:59:43Disdain and contempt settled over their faces at once.
00:59:46Look! Is that Isabella?
00:59:48How dare she intrude on a royal coronation!
00:59:51They exchanged a glance,
00:59:53both looking down on the pair.
00:59:54Evan's tone turned sharp with quiet mockery.
00:59:57And beside her,
00:59:58that's the rough, low-class werewolf who bought her at the black market.
01:00:01A nobody with no standing.
01:00:04How dare he set foot on sacred lichen royal grounds!
01:00:07Echoing his squirm,
01:00:08her disgust deepening,
01:00:09they have no sense of their place.
01:00:11Both are outcasts unfit for high society,
01:00:14only here to leech off prestige and cling to power.
01:00:17They clearly snuck in uninvited with no status or lineage.
01:00:20Once the true Lion King arrives,
01:00:21guards will drive them out publicly,
01:00:23and they'll be the laughingstock of everyone present.
01:00:26Evan and Martha stepped forward abruptly,
01:00:29blocking Isabella and Sebastian's path.
01:00:31Their manner arrogant and their words cutting.
01:00:33Isabella,
01:00:34you exiled golden-eyed freak!
01:00:36How dare you sneak into a royal coronation,
01:00:38parading around with this low-class werewolf!
01:00:41You have no shame at all!
01:00:42Sebastian, I still remember your ragged state at the black market.
01:00:45A nobody like you has no right to stand on sacred ground.
01:00:48Take her and leave before you embarrass yourselves further.
01:00:51Whether we belong here is none of your concern.
01:00:53You two snuck in without invitations,
01:00:55yet you still dare to act high and mighty?
01:00:57Sebastian drew Isabella gently to his side,
01:01:00adopting a humble, meek demeanor,
01:01:02his tone soft and unassuming.
01:01:03Alpha Evan, Lady Martha,
01:01:05we only came to watch the ceremony.
01:01:07We mean no trouble,
01:01:08and we'll take our leave at once.
01:01:09Seeing Sebastian's apparent weakness
01:01:11emboldened Martha further.
01:01:12She stepped forward sharply,
01:01:14her tone growing harsher still.
01:01:16Leave is not enough!
01:01:17A low-class werewolf trespassing on royal sacred ground,
01:01:20you will apologize to us.
01:01:23Exactly.
01:01:25Beg forgiveness and get out.
01:01:27When the Lion King arrives,
01:01:29he'll strip your wolf power and shame you publicly.
01:01:31A flicker of cold calm passed through Sebastian's eyes,
01:01:34though his tone remained mild,
01:01:35edged with quiet certainty.
01:01:36Is that so?
01:01:37Then let us wait and see
01:01:37who ends up embarrassed before everyone.
01:01:39Isabella lifted her gaze,
01:01:40a faint glimmer shining in her golden eyes.
01:01:42She played along with Sebastian's act,
01:01:44looking wronged yet forcing herself to stay complete.
01:01:46You carry yourself so arrogantly,
01:01:48do you not fear angering the Lycan King?
01:01:51Martha scoffed openly,
01:01:53utterly dismissant of their words.
01:01:54Anger the King?
01:01:56The only ones embarrassing themselves here are you two.
01:01:59The King will punish you, not us.
01:02:03Their taunt stung sharp and loud in my ears.
01:02:06I had no wish to waste time on these petty troublemakers,
01:02:09only wanting to turn away
01:02:10and let the ceremony proceed undisturbed.
01:02:12Pay them no mind.
01:02:14The real show is about to begin.
01:02:15I nodded and turned to leave with him.
01:02:17But Evan took my silence as defeat,
01:02:19stepping forward to block our path,
01:02:22wearing a mocking, triumphant smirk.
01:02:24Cat got your tongue?
01:02:25Can't argue back so you try to run?
01:02:27I knew it.
01:02:28You're both small-minded nobodies,
01:02:30unfit to stand against us.
01:02:31Run won't save you.
01:02:33Apologize here today,
01:02:34or everyone will see the two of you
01:02:36brought low and humiliated.
01:02:40I frowned, ready to speak,
01:02:42when solemn ceremonial horns echoed across the grounds.
01:02:44A hush fell instantly,
01:02:45every gaze turning towards the high das.
01:02:47The host's voice boomed across the holy mountain,
01:02:49clear and authoritative through spiritual resonance.
01:02:51The auspicious hour has come.
01:02:53The Lycan King's coronation ceremony begins.
01:02:56All rise for the rightful Lycan royal heir,
01:02:59Lord Sebastian,
01:03:00and his fated mate,
01:03:02Lady Isabella,
01:03:02to ascend the royal dame.
01:03:08Golden light burst across the sky.
01:03:15I, Sebastian,
01:03:17rightful heir to the Lycan throne,
01:03:18have quelled my brother's rebellion
01:03:20and reclaimed my royal birthright.
01:03:22Today I ascend officially as Lion King
01:03:24and proclaim Isabella my sole Lion Queen.
01:03:27May all clans honor our rule
01:03:28and find peace under our protection.
01:03:31This was my mate.
01:03:32The one destined to walk beside me for all time.
01:03:35In the next instant,
01:03:37two sharp, disbelieving voices
01:03:39shattered the ceremony's solemnity.
01:03:41Impossible.
01:03:42It cannot be.
01:03:43How can you be the Lycan King?
01:03:45You were nothing but a ragged nobody from the black market.
01:03:47You're pretending to claim the throne.
01:03:48Yes, you're an imposter.
01:03:50A low-class werewolf could never be Lycan royal heir.
01:03:52You've tricked everyone with some underhanded scheme.
01:03:54The true Lord King could never be someone like you.
01:03:57They shouted hysterically,
01:03:58as if their refusal alone could undo reality.
01:04:01I watched their frantic display with complete indifference.
01:04:04It was utterly ridiculous now.
01:04:06The nobody they mocked was now the king.
01:04:08The outcast they humiliated.
01:04:10Now their queen.
01:04:14Insolent fools.
01:04:17To speak treason at the Lycan King's coronation.
01:04:20To deny royal lineage and dishonor the crown,
01:04:24you court your own doom.
01:04:27Guards, seize them!
01:04:28These two trespassed uninvited on sacred ceremony grounds,
01:04:32insulted the king and queen,
01:04:33and flouted royal decree.
01:04:34By order of the crown,
01:04:35strip three-tenths of their wolf power,
01:04:37expel them from the holy mountain,
01:04:38and ban them permanently from all Lycan territory.
01:04:41Any who defy this ruling
01:04:42shall be put to death without hesitation.
01:04:47He hated his own blindness and pride,
01:04:49mocking the true Lion King,
01:04:51and now reaping the ruin he had sown.
01:04:53Your Majesty King Sebastian,
01:04:55I beg forgiveness.
01:04:56I dare not doubt you again.
01:04:57I swear it.
01:04:58Your grace, Queen Isabella,
01:04:59please show mercy.
01:05:00We will never insult you again,
01:05:02never trespass on royal ceremony grounds.
01:05:04Spare us this once.
01:05:06You mock freely when you hold pride,
01:05:07yet beg for mercy and ruin.
01:05:09Your arrogance and ignorance
01:05:10deserve no forgiveness from me.
01:05:12They had brought this upon themselves,
01:05:14casting me aside, humiliating me,
01:05:15looking down on others,
01:05:16and now they faced the consequences.
01:05:18They left in utter disgrace,
01:05:19their pride shattered beyond repair.
01:05:25Selene alone beneath the shade of a tree.
01:05:27She clutched her communicator tightly.
01:05:31Why hasn't William come?
01:05:32He swore he would overthrow Sebastian at the coronation.
01:05:35Once he takes the crown,
01:05:36he'll make me Lion Queen.
01:05:38He wouldn't lie to me.
01:05:40The line was dead completely.
01:05:43No, this can't be.
01:05:45He wouldn't deceive me.
01:05:46He must have been stopped by Sebastian's guards,
01:05:48caught in trouble somehow.
01:05:50William!
01:05:51William!
01:05:58Selene, you are foolish and greedy indeed.
01:06:01Did you truly believe I would risk everything for the throne,
01:06:04or crown you Queen?
01:06:05I only used you to drain your wealth and resources for my own gain.
01:06:08At last the truth crashed over her.
01:06:10This had never been anything but a carefully laid trap.
01:06:14Please, my wealth, my crown,
01:06:16everything is gone.
01:06:17He lied to me.
01:06:19He truly lied to me.
01:06:23Word soon spread of Selene's secret alliance with William.
01:06:27She was branded an enemy of the Lion Crown,
01:06:30blacklisted across all werewolf lands.
01:06:33Foolish woman.
01:06:34Not only were you deceived,
01:06:35you dragged my pack into ruin.
01:06:37Do not show yourself to me again.
01:06:39We are finished.
01:06:40Evan, please help me.
01:06:41I know I was wrong.
01:06:43I only wanted a better life.
01:06:44Clean up the mess you made alone.
01:06:45Someone like you is not worthy of standing beside me.
01:06:52Penniless and without allies,
01:06:54she became a public joke among the werewolf clans.
01:06:58She spent her days adrift in loneliness and regret.
01:07:02Evan was stripped of part of his wolf power.
01:07:04His former alpha dominance faded away entirely.
01:07:07I let vanity blind me and look down on Sebastian out of pride.
01:07:12This ruin is entirely my own fault.
01:07:14If only I hadn't urged you to seek favor.
01:07:16If only I hadn't angered the royal family.
01:07:19What will become of us now?
01:07:20There is nothing we can do.
01:07:21Our pack fades.
01:07:23We are powerless to protect it.
01:07:24We can only leave our fate to time.
01:07:26The old glory of the blood moon pack faded into memory.
01:07:30The clan declined steadily into obscurity,
01:07:34struggling merely to survive.
01:07:39All external conflicts faded away,
01:07:42and the last traces of royal rebellion were couldn't belled completely.
01:07:46Peace settled over every corner of werewolf territory.
01:07:52Sebastian ruled the Lycan throne steadily,
01:07:54managing clan affairs with calm order,
01:07:57leaving no room for further chaos.
01:08:00With Pup now growing inside me,
01:08:03I rested quietly in the Lyman royal mansion.
01:08:06Sebastian set aside many official duties to stay by my side,
01:08:10tending to my every need with gentle, careful devotion.
01:08:13You don't have to stay by my side every moment.
01:08:16Royal affairs keep you busy.
01:08:17Don't let me hold you back.
01:08:19The throne matters,
01:08:20but you and the Pup you carry matter most in my life.
01:08:24The elders contend to all trivial matters.
01:08:27Ella also remained safely within the royal household,
01:08:30staying close to keep me company,
01:08:31and looking after my daily needs with heartfelt care.
01:08:34Rest easy and focus on your pregnancy, Luna.
01:08:37I'll stay right here with you,
01:08:38so you have nothing to worry about.
01:08:42Sebastian tangled his fingers with mine,
01:08:45his eyes soft.
01:08:48Ella smiled quietly beside us.
01:08:51Sunlight spilled through the window,
01:08:53warm and calm,
01:08:54over all three of us.
01:08:55I'll be back.
