No Mercy For The Traitor Alpha

Short filmTranscript
00:02I saved my mate's life, but he wanted me dead.
00:06The day Lucian became alpha, he stabbed me and dragged me to the beast pit.
00:11Korra should have been my Luna.
00:14You stole everything from her.
00:17Now die.
00:20The cage opened.
00:21Hundreds of starving beasts rushed toward me.
00:24My mate held another woman in his arms and smiled as he watched.
00:28Then I opened my eyes and found myself back on the day he needed me to save his life.
00:34This time, I smiled and walked away.
00:37As a beast calum, I had always done everything to help my partner, Lucian.
00:41I had even saved his life once.
00:43But on the day he became alpha, but he stabbed me in the back.
00:49Korra is the one I love most.
00:51If you hadn't fought to steal her chance to save me back then, she'd be my Luna.
00:57Right now!
00:58Aren't you able to control beasts?
01:00Haven't eaten in three days.
01:02So go on.
01:03Let me see whether a bitch like you can control them.
01:06My little cat threw herself in front of me.
01:09But the beasts tore us both to shreds.
01:12My family was branded as traitors and secrets.
01:16And then I was reborn.
01:18Back to the morning when Lucian was surrounded by the beasts.
01:22The Luna gripped my hand tightly.
01:23Selina, I heard you can control beasts.
01:27Can you save Lucian?
01:28I shook my head immediately.
01:29Luna, I can't even calm a cat.
01:31I wouldn't dare risk the heir's life.
01:33I heard Korra already brought warriors to look for him.
01:36Lucian is the alpha heir.
01:38The moon goddess will protect him.
01:39This time, I wanted to see how Lucian would become alpha without my help.
01:43A scream echoed from deep within the forest.
01:46Everyone's faces turned tense.
01:48Soon, the warriors carried Lucian back.
01:50His entire body was covered in blood.
01:53Useless fools.
01:55This is how you protect my son?
01:57The alpha flew into a rage and stepped forward to punish them.
02:00Lucian stopped him.
02:01Father, if Korra and the warriors hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have survived.
02:05Don't blame them.
02:05The healers examined him and confirmed his life was no longer in danger.
02:09Only then did the alpha notice the crying Korra standing nearby.
02:13Loyal and brave, you risked your life for Lucian today.
02:18What reward do you want?
02:19I-
02:19Korra's cheeks flushed red as she stammered.
02:22I-
02:22She couldn't finish a single sentence.
02:25Father, Korra's too shy.
02:26Let me speak for her.
02:28I've desired her for a long time.
02:29Now I owe her my life.
02:31So I want her to become my mate.
02:33My future Luna.
02:43I-
02:43I don't' promise.
03:11I-
03:12I don't know.

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