00:00like champagne in the air the ballroom lights were warm and hazy like champagne in the air
00:06laughter, hammer flashes and cool little cheers filled the room
00:09careful Matthew, my dress is expensive, don't ruin it too fast
00:13when I pushed the door open I saw my husband Matthew standing behind another woman
00:22her name was Serena Hayes
00:24she was leaning over the piano looking back in a smile that felt like an invitation
00:29and a challenge and everyone around them was cheering like they were watching a show
00:33see, I told them you're not boring
00:38show Mrs. Hayes what Mrs. Reed never gets to see
00:41that last line cut straight through me
00:43Mrs. Reed, that was supposed to be my name
00:44for nine years, Matthew was cold with me
00:47every time I reached for him, he pulled away
00:49I thought he was just built that way
00:51but now, he smiled at Serena like I had never seen before
00:54and tonight, he told me he was taking Lily to a business meeting
00:59but this wasn't business
01:00it was his anniversary party with another woman
01:03so I walked through the crowd, picked up the red wine and threw it on his face
01:07are you insane?
01:08Matthew instinctively pulled Serena behind him
01:10but the moment he saw me, he froze
01:12I looked at his hand on her waist and laughed
01:14so this is your business meeting?
01:16the look on Matthew's face slowly turned cold
01:19Evelyn, don't make a scene
01:20I opened my mouth to speak
01:22then a scream tore through the crowd behind me
01:25Lily rushed out of the crowd and protected Serena
01:27don't touch my mommy
01:32Lily
01:35I'm your mom
01:36no, Serena is my mom
01:44no, Serena is my mom
01:47wait, the kid calls Serena mom?
01:50Lily's voice hit me like a slap
01:51I stood frozen, barely able to hold on
01:54that was Lily, the daughter I raised myself
01:57when she had her first fever, I held her all night in a hospital hallway
02:01when she first performed on stage, I clacked until my phone's late
02:05this morning, I picked her pearl hairpin
02:07but now, she looked at me like I was her enemy
02:10the way Lily looked at me felt like a knife in my chest
02:13Serena slowly knelt down, holding Lily close
02:16it's okay baby, mommy's fine
02:19Evelyn, you shouldn't be here
02:22I shouldn't be here?
02:25you told me you were taking Lily to meet an important client?
02:29that was none of your business
02:30my husband?
02:32my daughter?
02:33none of my business?
02:36Evelyn, oh, it hurts to be replaced
02:38but breaking into our anniversary party and attacking me in front of a child, that's too much
02:42your anniversary?
02:43yes, mine and Serena's
02:45we ended a long time ago, stop acting like my wife
02:49so she really is the ex-wife
02:51no wonder she was
02:53poor Serena, imagine being attacked at your own party
02:57Matthew, when did we end?
03:03the divorce was finalized two years ago
03:05what divorce?
03:07Evelyn, don't make me embarrass you more
03:09I never sign this
03:12get her out before she ruins my family
03:18two guards in black suit stepped in and blocked me from both sides
03:22I stared at the papers in Matthew's hand
03:24black ink on white paper
03:26it said Matthew and I were divorced
03:29it even had my signature
03:30but I had never seen it
03:32I never signed anything
03:35that signature is fake
03:37Matthew was too calm
03:38like he'd rehearsed it
03:39Evelyn
03:40you were emotionally unstable back then
03:43you don't remember a lot of things
03:44I froze
03:44he was trying to make me look insane
03:47Serena held Lily inside softly
03:49I'm sorry Evelyn
03:51Matthew told me you had a hard time accepting the divorce
03:56that's scary
03:56she doesn't even remember signing divorce papers?
03:59maybe Matthew was right to keep the child away from her
04:01my chest burned with anger
04:03I pulled out my phone to show our marriage records
04:05photos, accounts, and trips
04:08enough
04:08I looked up at him
04:11afraid they'll see the truth?
04:13for one second his eyes cracked
04:15then the panic turned into anger
04:18give it back!
04:20Matthew smashed my phone onto the floor
04:22the screen cracked instantly
04:23the ballroom went silent again
04:25you planned this
04:26Matthew said nothing
04:27but Serena let out a soft laugh
04:28she held Lily and looked at me like she had won
04:30no one planned anything
04:32you were just too broken to remember
04:34Lily shrank into her arms and looked at me timidly
04:38daddy said you always make things worse
04:40my heart clenched
04:44take her out
04:45the guards grabbed my arms again
04:47this time I didn't fight
04:49I just looked at Matthew and asked softly
04:51who forged my signature?
04:54Matthew's eyes darkened instantly
04:55Serena's smile froze on her face
05:02Evelyn
05:03accusing people without evidence only makes you look worse
05:08evidence
05:09you just destroyed my phone in front of everyone
05:12Matthew only did that because you were frightening Lily
05:15she scared the child
05:17Matthew was protecting Lily
05:18this has gone too far
05:19poor Serena
05:20I don't want her near me
05:22I looked at her, my throat blocked
05:24I didn't understand
05:25how would she become like this?
05:28Evelyn, I don't want to use my family name to pressure you
05:32but Harrington Industries won't tolerate someone humiliating me in public
05:37Harrington Industries?
05:39the Harrington family?
05:40that's old New York money
05:42and for your information
05:43Aiden Cole is my mentor
05:45if you keep making trouble
05:46he will handle it personally
05:48Aiden Cole?
05:49isn't he the top litigation lawyer?
05:51she's finished
05:52I shot my head up
05:54Aiden Cole
05:55my childhood friend
05:56and New York's top litigator
05:58you heard her
05:59Serena isn't someone you can afford to offend
06:02Serena dared to use his name
06:04I smiled and stopped looking at Matthew
06:05my broken phone was still barely lit
06:07I broke free
06:08picked it up
06:09and sent Aiden my location
06:10just five words
06:11someone is using your name
06:12Matthew saw what I was doing
06:14and his face changed
06:15he rushed over and crushed my phone under his shoe
06:17the screen went black
06:19gasps filled the ballroom
06:21I slowly stood up
06:23my knees aching
06:24my fingers shaking
06:25but I looked at Matthew
06:27and smiled
06:28you just made your second mistake tonight
06:31second?
06:33the first was letting her say Aiden Cole's name
06:39Matthew's face went completely cold
06:41Matt please
06:42I just want this to stop
06:44daddy make her go away
06:47he raised his hand
06:48signaling the guards
06:49remove her
06:53Matthew
06:54Matthew you can fake papers
06:55you can lie to them
06:56but you can't erase nine years
06:59I already did
07:10you really thought being a wife made you important?
07:13you raised my daughter
07:16lived in my place
07:17and still lost everything
07:21what did you say?
07:23Serena's face froze
07:24Matthew shot her a warning look
07:26realizing she had slipped
07:28she stood up and played fragile again
07:30I said you're scaring my daughter
07:32what did she mean?
07:34Lily was my daughter
07:35how could she be Serena's?
07:37I struggled to stand and ask again
07:39I struggled to stand and ask again
07:40but Matthew suddenly raised his hand
07:41and slapped me
07:43enough!
07:45my face snapped to the side
07:46and I tasted blood
07:48just then the ballroom doors were thrown open
07:52take your hands off her
07:54everyone turned around
07:57funny
07:58I don't remember having a student like you
08:07the air seemed to vanish
08:09the color slowly drained from Serena's face
08:11but she quickly forced a smile
08:13who are you?
08:15some actor she hired?
08:17a few guests started whispering too
08:19after all
08:20Aiden was a legal legend
08:21no one believed he would show up at Matthew's private party
08:24let alone defend a crazy ex-wife
08:27a crazy ex-wife?
08:28this is a private event
08:30leave before I call security
08:32Aiden didn't even look at him
08:34he walked straight to me
08:35knelt down
08:36and held my arm
08:37when he saw the mark on my face
08:39and the blood on my knee
08:40his eyes turned ice cold
08:42who did this?
08:44don't touch my ex-wife
08:45ex-wife?
08:46interesting
08:47because according to the state record
08:49I checked on my way there
08:50you and Evelyn Whitman, her read
08:51are still legally married
08:53that's impossible!
08:55Aiden took his bar card
08:57and business card
08:57from inside his suit
08:58then tossed them
08:59onto the nearby table
09:00someone picked them up
09:02looked at them
09:03and gasped
09:04but it is him
09:05that's Aiden Cole
09:08you used my name
09:09to threaten my friend
09:11Serena opened her mouth
09:12but no words came out
09:13Mr. Cole
09:14this is a family matter
09:15no Matthew
09:16this is fraud
09:17assault identity theft
09:18and possibly medical conspiracy
09:22she attacked me first
09:23everyone saw it
09:25Aiden looked around
09:27at everyone
09:27holding up their phones
09:28good
09:30then everyone
09:31recorded what happened
09:32before that too
09:39soon police sirens sounded
09:41outside the estate
09:42officers entered the ballroom
09:43and frowned at the chaos
09:45Serena reacted first
09:48officer
09:48she broke into my anniversary party
09:50and attacked me
09:51in front of my child
09:51she scared me
09:53I don't want her near us
09:54it felt like another knife
09:55to the heart
09:56Matthew straightened his suit
09:57and became the polished lawyer again
09:59I'm Matthew Reed
09:59this is my wife Serena
10:01and that's my daughter Lily
10:02the woman on the floor
10:02is my ex-wife
10:03she has been harassing us
10:04for years
10:05he said it so naturally
10:06I almost wondered
10:07if those nine years
10:08had only been a dream
10:10he's lying
10:11I never divorced him
10:13the divorce papers
10:14are right here
10:16so is my marriage license
10:17with Serena
10:18the officer took the papers
10:20his expression uncertain
10:21those documents are forged
10:24that's a serious accusation
10:25pull the state court record
10:27now
10:27Aiden ignored him
10:28and called his assistant directly
10:31a few minutes later
10:33Aiden's phone rang
10:33he put it on speaker
10:35and his assistant's voice
10:36came through clearly
10:38Mr. Cole
10:39the divorce case number
10:40Matthew Reed provided
10:41does not exist
10:41every face in the room changed
10:43the officers exchanged a look
10:45and Serena clutched Lily in panic
10:47gasps rippled through the guests
10:48Aiden looked up at Matthew
10:50Matthew's smile vanished completely
10:52this case number is fake
11:00court systems make mistakes all the time
11:02then let's call the clerk's office
11:04Matthew rushed to defend himself
11:05his words were hasty
11:07self-soothing and futile
11:09Serena let go of his hand
11:11and stepped back
11:11I saw through their so-called love
11:14in an instant
11:17check this divorce case number
11:21the call got through
11:22exposing the truth
11:23Mr. Cole
11:24there is no such case
11:26there is no divorce case
11:27no divorce judgment
11:30the crowd gasped
11:31and fell silent
11:31Matthew tensed
11:33visibly flustered
11:34Serena teared up
11:35and chose self-preservation
11:36Matthew
11:37you told me everything
11:38was legal
11:40I trusted you
11:42I thought Evelyn
11:43was really your ex-wife
11:45Matthew glared at her
11:46speechless and helpless
11:49so which one is it
11:51I stepped forward
11:52my words sharp
11:53did you lie to me
11:55or did you lie to her
11:57Lily suddenly shouted through tears
11:59stop bullying daddy
12:00you're not my mom
12:01Serena is
12:02my chest tightened
12:04Serena held Lily tightly
12:05using her against me
12:06don't worry baby
12:08she's not your real mother anyway
12:10I froze completely
12:12the last warmth in my heart
12:14shattering instantly
12:17what did you say?
12:22Serena's face paled in an instant
12:24she realized she had slipped up again
12:26but it was too late
12:27I had heard it
12:28I walked slowly towards Serena
12:30my voice icy and unfamiliar
12:32explain that
12:34I meant emotionally
12:36you never acted like a real mother
12:38really?
12:39then why are you so scared?
12:41I'm not scared
12:42I'm tired of your drama
12:46then you won't mind a DNA test
12:49we're leaving
12:50that's my daughter
12:51Matthew tried to take Lily away
12:53Aiden's bodyguard blocked his path
12:56get out of my way
13:00then prove she's Evelyn's daughter too
13:03just then
13:03an unknown number called Aiden's phone
13:06Aiden glanced at the screen
13:07and handed me the phone
13:08it's the private medical center
13:10my heart dropped sharply
13:11Mrs. Reed
13:12there is a problem with Lily's genetic report
13:16my fingers turned ice cold in an instant
13:22the doctor's voice came through the phone
13:24sharp and merciless
13:26logically speaking
13:27Lily Reed is not your daughter
13:31does she have a biological link to Matthew Reed?
13:34yes
13:34the report indicates a paternal match with Mr. Reed
13:38and the maternal line?
13:39not Mrs. Reed
13:42Evelyn listen to me
13:43it's not what you think
13:46then what is it?
13:48sorry it's not what you think
13:51then what is it?
13:53fine
13:54yes
13:55Lily is mine
13:57she is my daughter
13:59mine and Matthew's
14:00shut up
14:04you raised my child for nine years
14:09you made me raise your mistress child?
14:13Serena put her arm around Lily
14:15and struck the final blow
14:16with a cold smile
14:19and she loved me more than you
14:27at that moment my soul felt utterly empty
14:30nine long years
14:31I loved Lily with everything I had
14:34yet I was merely a nanny in their elaborate lie
14:37Matthew kept trying to explain
14:40Evelyn I didn't plan for it to go this far
14:44you switched a child
14:47I only wanted to give Lily a good life
14:51no
14:53you wanted me to pay for it
14:55just then a line of car engines roared outside the manor
14:58the banquet hall doors were pushed open once again
15:01my father Richard Whitmore and my mother Victoria Whitmore walked in
15:05Matthew stared in shock
15:07I hid my wealthy roots and abandoned my family for him
15:10Serena forced a defiant smile
15:12who are these people?
15:14another group Evelyn hired?
15:20Serena's family is richer than yours
15:23you can't scare us
15:24my father once had a shred of mercy for Lily
15:27after her words his last warmth vanished
15:33my mother rushed straight to me
15:36who touched my daughter?
15:39your daughter?
15:45my mother ignored Matthew
15:49my father walked to me draped his coat over my shoulders and turned his back on Matthew
15:54Mr. Reid I gave you my daughter's hand not permission to destroy her
15:59Evelyn Whitmore is my only daughter
16:02the sole heir of Whitmore capital
16:05oh my god
16:08the crowd exploded in astonishment
16:10those who had mocked me as a hysterical woman turned pale one after another
16:15Matthew stared at me in disbelief
16:17no
16:18that's impossible
16:20your firm
16:21your clients
16:23your reputation
16:25all built
16:26on doors
16:28Evelyn opened for you
16:30it was utterly ironic
16:31nine years of marriage
16:32yet he never knew me
16:34so what?
16:35I'm a Harrington heiress
16:36Whithurston doesn't scare me
16:39Miss Hayes
16:40your father doesn't own Harrington
16:43he works for us
16:51Serena's face darkened instantly
16:53Frank Hayes
16:54regional operations manager
16:56annual salary $280,000
16:58not chairman
17:00not owner
17:01not even on the board
17:03you're lying
17:05you said your father owned Harrington
17:07before she could explain noise erupted at the door
17:09Serena's parents Frank and Denise rushed in abruptly
17:13Frank shouted arrogantly
17:15who touched my daughter?
17:16do you know who I am?
17:18our Serena is Harrington royalty
17:21you people are finished
17:22the director turned around slowly
17:25Mr. Carter?
17:32Frank I didn't know you became the owner of Harrington while still reporting to my office every Monday
17:38even if my father's title was misunderstood
17:40Aiden Cole is still my mentor
17:42desperate Serena clung to her last hope
17:44I don't mentor frauds
17:50prepare charges for identity fraud defamation and impersonation
17:54freeze every account connected to the Hayes family
17:56no! you can't do this to me!
17:59Eve!
18:01you did worse to me
18:02you did worse to me
18:06Matthew knew he was finished
18:07he hurried toward me
18:08red-eyed he begged tremblingly
18:10Eve, please
18:12let's talk
18:14now you remember my name?
18:17I was wrong
18:18I was confused
18:20Serena lied to me too
18:23Matthew!
18:24you said Evelyn was just a tool
18:26you said once you got enough from Whitmore
18:28you'd get rid of her!
18:29they'll know you were never in love with either of us
18:31you set me up
18:32I set you up?
18:34you were the one who stole those diamonds
18:36and now you're letting me take the fall
18:38they tore each other apart in public
18:39I watched on feeling utterly ridiculous
18:44are you okay?
18:46no
18:48nine years
18:50was any of it real?
18:53file everything
18:54officers stepped forward and cuffed Matthew
18:56the second the cold handcuffs clicked shut
18:59he panicked completely
19:00Evelyn!
19:01please!
19:02I walked away without looking back
19:08after Matthew was cuffed
19:09Lily finally panicked
19:11Serena was detained
19:12unable to pretend anymore
19:14her two protectors had fallen completely
19:16alone in the crowd
19:17Lily was terrified
19:19she glanced at them
19:20then ran to me in tears
19:22Mommy!
19:24I'm sorry!
19:26Daddy said you didn't love us!
19:28I stared at her familiar face
19:29I was once her only shelter
19:31yet a huge gap now lies between us
19:34Lily begged me with tearful eyes
19:36I wanna go home with you
19:38I lifted my hand
19:39then slowly knelt down
19:42I was your mother
19:44tonight
19:45you chose yours
19:48she burst into heavier tears
19:50my voice was calm
19:52yet final
19:52Child Protective Services walked in
19:55due to the fraud case
19:56she required temporary guardianship assessment
20:04The next day
20:05the scandal swept across New York
20:07every headline was blindingly harsh
20:09top New York lawyer accused of marriage fraud
20:12fake heiress scandal at Hampton Estate
20:15hidden banquet footage leaked online
20:17all the truth was compiled into viral clips
20:20their affair, Lily's wrong choice, forged documents and fake identities were all exposed
20:26reporters swarmed Matthew's law firm
20:29Serena's socialite dream shattered completely
20:31her family's so-called high society became a joke
20:34I turned down all interviews
20:36I stayed at Whitmore's private hospital
20:39Aiden visited me every day
20:40that afternoon he handed me a document
20:43the medical records were altered
20:44IVF signed by Matthew
20:46your consent was forged
20:48my fingers trembled as I held it
20:51can we prove it?
20:53yes
20:56I closed my eyes and made my final decision
20:59then bury him with it
21:01Aiden looked at me firmly
21:06three months later the court trial began
21:09reporters gathered outside the court
21:11haggard Matthew sat in the defendant's seat
21:13Serena sat silently
21:15all arrogance gone
21:16they turned against each other
21:18no longer meeting eyes
21:20Aiden represented me in court
21:22this is not a failed marriage
21:23this is a calculated erasure of a woman's legal identity
21:26motherhood and life
21:28the defense would like to remind the court that Evelyn is Mr. Hammond's ex-wife
21:33her jealousy knows no bounds
21:37your honor the footage speaks for itself
21:39Aiden skipped arguments and played the evidence
21:41the footage exposed their intimacy in public
21:46Matthew hung his head too ashamed to watch
21:48Aiden presented solid evidence
21:50all divorce proof was forged
21:52the child's medical records were tampered with
21:55at that moment Serena burst out
21:57Matthew told me Evelyn was useful only because of her money
22:01Matthew looked up in utter shock
22:08Serena betrayed him to save herself
22:10she confessed Lily was their daughter
22:12she exposed Matthew's nine year scheme
22:15he said Evelyn wanted a family more than anything
22:18he said once she became a mother she would never leave
22:22Evelyn will raise the child
22:23she has the money, the patience, and the name
22:26Serena, you and I just need to wait
22:28she submitted crucial audio evidence
22:30his true scheme echoed through the court
22:32the court broke into shocked whispers
22:35Matthew broke down completely
22:37you wanted this too?
22:38you wanted Eurena Seno, I just said do well
22:40because you promised me I'd be Mrs. Reed
22:43the two tore each other apart in public
22:45Matthew masterminded all the forgery
22:47he wanted my resources while keeping his mistress
22:50he used both women as his stepping stones
22:53one raised his child
22:54the other upheld his reputation
22:56Matthew suddenly turned to me
22:58red-eyed, he begged humbly
23:00Eve, please, I loved you
23:03I looked at him, feeling nothing but disgust
23:09I finally took the witness stand
23:11the courtroom fell dead silent
23:13everyone waited for my breakdown
23:15but I remained calm
23:16I looked straight at Matthew and spoke softly
23:19he didn't just cheat on me, he erased me
23:21I paused briefly, Matthew stared at me tearfully
23:24I don't ask the court to punish him because he broke my heart
23:29I asked the court to punish him
23:34I asked the court to punish him
23:36I asked the court to punish him
23:36because he used the law as a weapon
23:38Matthew Reed is convicted of marriage fraud
23:41forgery and medical record tapering permanently disbarred
23:44Serena Hayes is convicted of conspiracy fraud
23:47Denise and Frank Hayes face commercial fraud penalties
23:50minor child Lily shall be placed under child protective services for guardianship
23:53before being taken away
23:55Matthew called my name
23:56Evelyn
23:56I removed my wedding ring
23:58I watched him, resolute
24:00you erased me first, now I erase you
24:03Aiden's eyes flickered slightly
24:05the final verdict was delivered
24:07Matthew was convicted of multiple felonies
24:13months later, I returned to Whitmore capital
24:16dressed in a sharp black suit
24:17I returned poised and steady
24:19ready? ready
24:21I stared at the seat that had always been mine
24:24father looked at me with relief and pity
24:28after the meeting, the media waited downstairs
24:30Mrs. Whitfield, do you regret marrying Matthew Reed?
24:33I faced the camera calmly
24:34no, I regret forgetting who I was
24:38I tried a time staring one to be lost
24:43back at my office
24:44Aiden waited for me with two cups of coffee
24:46black coffee
24:47no sugar
24:52you still remember?
24:55I remember before you forgot yourself
24:59I sealed the ring, burying nine years of delusions
25:03I stood by the window, overlooking the vast city
25:07free from all shackles and worldly identities
25:10through all hardships
25:11I found my true self
25:18Alara, you've held the Luna's seat long enough
25:21without your family's support securing Caleb's rise
25:24you wouldn't have sat there at all
25:25Lara, I will be crowned as the new king tomorrow
25:27Luna title belongs to Sarah
25:29if you're still alive, how could that be?
25:31and they poured poison down my throat
25:33I died the day Caleb became king
25:35then I opened my eyes
25:37I was back, my bonding day
25:38the hostess called across the bonding chamber
25:41please, Alfa and Luna, drink from the union cup
25:44I stared at the cup in front of me
25:45Sarah was careless
25:46the powder she'd used hadn't even been wiped clean off the rim
25:51Sarah slipped a sterility potion into my cup
25:55when it was discovered, she only saw it
26:00she fell to her knees
26:01I didn't mean to hurt her
26:03who knew she would really drink it
26:05Caleb pulled me aside
26:06Alara, as the true Luna you should be generous
26:08Sarah will pay for my mistake, I'll enter the pack as a lesser mate
26:11any pups I bear will be raised by the Luna
26:14from that moment on, I became the Luna who could not give birth
26:18Sarah and Caleb shared a life full of warmth
26:20two sons, two daughters
26:23everyone in the city knew Sarah
26:24no one remembered the true Luna existed
26:27a cold calm settled over me
26:29I reached over and swapped my cup for Caleb's
26:32I lowered my lashes, let a soft flush color my cheeks
26:36I'd like us to swap cups, my lord
26:39I heard it makes the bond last longer
26:41that's right
26:42the hostess clapped
26:43Caleb raised his cup
26:48we drank
26:49the guests cheered
26:50the cups hadn't even hit the table before the doors burst open
26:55oh my, you already drank?
26:58that is
26:59when she saw the empty cup in front of me
27:01her eyes immediately filled with tears
27:04she turned to Caleb
27:05my lord, I'm so sorry
27:07I only wanted to tease the Luna
27:09I put something in her cup
27:10I gasped, let my face go white
27:12who are you? Why would you drug my drink?
27:15Miss Sarah, tonight is the Alpha's bonding night
27:18how could you think this was acceptable?
27:20Luna, this is Sarah
27:22we grew up together
27:22she's always been a little reckless
27:24don't make a scene
27:25the room went still
27:26Caleb stood, stepped in front of Sarah
27:28what are you doing here?
27:29I told you today was off limits
27:30Miss Sarah, what exactly did you put in my cup?
27:33my attendant snapped you
27:34touch the pack, Kayla, now!
27:35my lord, I wasn't trying to hurt anyone
27:37I saw someone selling a fertility blocking potion
27:40I just wanted to scare her a little
27:42make her more obedient to you
27:44I planned to rush in before you drank
27:46but I tripped outside
27:47I pressed a hand to my chest
27:48a fertility blocking potion?
27:50that cup was a gift from the High Council
27:52I looked at the guards
27:53take her!
27:54Sarah shrieked
27:55buried her face in Caleb's chest
27:56I swear I didn't mean it
27:58and besides, who knows if the potion even works
28:00it could be fake
28:00are you gonna have me punished for something that might not even be real?
28:03Caleb held her gently
28:04Alara, Sarah's young
28:06she didn't mean to go this far
28:07you're my Luna
28:09bonded properly
28:11even if you drank it, I won't abandon you
28:13your place is secure
28:15Sarah's tear-reddened eyes found mine
28:17it's all my fault
28:17she hit the floor with a thud
28:19I'm so sorry Luna, since the Luna can no longer carry pups
28:22I'll enter the pack as a lesser mate
28:24every pup I carry will be raised under her name
28:27same line, just like last time
28:29this time, I wasn't going to be a fool
28:33you tampered with the High Council's bonding cup
28:35to block the Alpha's bloodline
28:37that's a crime against the pack
28:39that's a death sentence
28:39Caleb pulled Sarah up, rounded me
28:41she admitted it
28:41she wasn't trying to harm anyone
28:42are you really calling for execution over a potion that might not even work?
28:45she poisoned your Luna in front of the whole pack
28:47I turned to face Sarah directly
28:48and you're defending her
28:50remember who I am
28:52don't act like what she did means nothing
28:54what's done is done
28:56what more do you want?
28:57Caleb's expression darkened
28:58she didn't do it on purpose
28:59the commotion spread
29:01Luna
29:02Alpha's mother says this cannot escalate
29:04Sarah will be punished
29:05but tonight is the binding ceremony
29:07the pack's reputation is at stake
29:09of course it didn't matter
29:10it wasn't happening to them
29:11my lord
29:11do you truly think what she did was a small thing?
29:14Caleb was still murmuring to Sarah
29:16he barely glanced at me
29:17she'll copy the pack conduct codes ten times
29:20no more disruptions
29:21I almost laughed
29:22good thing I wasn't the one who drank the drugged cup
29:25a female guest nearby went
29:26Luna you should still have the healer check on you
29:28yes, maybe there's still something that can be done
29:30Sarah immediately cut in
29:31calling a healer on a binding night is bad luck
29:34Sarah's right
29:35wait until tomorrow
29:36I looked at Caleb one last time
29:37my lord
29:38are you truly not going to hold her accountable?
29:40she was joking
29:41it got out of hand
29:42she's offered to carry pups in your name
29:44what else do you want?
29:45you're clinging to one cup
29:46ruining your own bonding night
29:48if you don't want to be Luna step aside
29:50I smiled
29:51I ran one finger along the rim of the cup
29:53then I looked at him
29:54Petty
29:54everything I've done tonight has been for you my lord
29:57because the one who just drank from my cup was you
30:00Caleb's face turned grey
30:02what are you saying?
30:04I was asking for an accommodation
30:04the end of the house
30:04so we're going to go through there
30:04people have felt
30:04like if they were tested
30:05witches
