00:00Growing up, everyone treated me as wolfless trash.
00:03To protect Caleb, my eyes were struck by a silver blade again.
00:06Blind and wolfless, I became the biggest joke of all.
00:09Caleb knelt before the goddess and swore an oath.
00:12I will be her eyes for the rest of my life.
00:15I will never leave her.
00:17I will never betray her.
00:19But yesterday, the wolf sleeping inside me finally awakened.
00:22And my sight unexpectedly returned.
00:24The moment I saw light again, I ran home like a mad woman.
00:27I wanted Caleb to be the first person I told.
00:30I pushed open the bedroom door.
00:31He was naked, pressing another woman down on our bed, fucking her hard.
00:35Caleb panted and thrust, groaning Briel's name over and over.
00:38Briel looked at me with a smirk and kissed him.
00:40Caleb, reject her.
00:42She can't even shift.
00:43A cripple like her doesn't deserve to be your Luna.
00:47I waited for him to refuse.
00:49But he only said one thing.
00:50Wait a little longer. I need time.
00:52Blind, wolfless.
00:53But I was the white wolf bloodline that appeared once in a century, revered by my entire pack.
00:57Caleb, what you pushed away with your own hands was the future ruler of the wolves.
01:01Heavy snow began to fall outside the window.
01:03I walked out of the house and booked a one-way ticket back to Crescent Hollow.
01:06After booking the ticket, I thought they would stop.
01:08I calmed myself down and went back inside.
01:10They had moved from the bedroom to the living room, hugging each other naked.
01:13Now my smell was back to.
01:15Briel's scent clung to Caleb.
01:16It was so strong that it made me sick.
01:18Caleb stared at me, biting his lower lip to stay quiet.
01:21Briel deliberately teased him.
01:22She reached her hand directly into his pants.
01:24Don't worry, Caleb.
01:26May is blind.
01:27She can't see us.
01:29She whispered in his ear while glaring at me with pure disdain.
01:32Caleb pinched her waist.
01:34Stop it.
01:35Don't let May notice anything wrong.
01:37Briel licked her lips and leaned closer to his ear.
01:39Alpha, do you want to make it more exciting?
01:41Make her hand that box over to us herself.
01:43Caleb swallowed hard.
01:45He gave in to her.
01:47May, can you bring me that box of ointment on the coffee table?
01:50I looked at him.
01:51His face was flushed, his eyes hazy.
01:53His hands were still wrapped around Briel's chest.
01:56I clenched my fists and looked down at the box.
01:58It was an aphrodisiac.
02:00Caleb was asking me to bring them something for their sex game.
02:03I pretended to be blind.
02:05I groped my way to the coffee table, picked up the box, and walked over.
02:08Are you feeling sick?
02:10Do you need me to stay with you?
02:11I showed my care just like before.
02:13My voice trembled, but he did not notice.
02:15No.
02:15Go to sleep early.
02:16Briel touched him suggestively.
02:18Caleb glared at her to stop, then took the box from my hand.
02:21I have some pack business to handle in the guest room.
02:23I won't disturb you.
02:24He picked Briel up and walked quietly toward the guest room.
02:26After they left, my eyes stung and tears welled up.
02:29I had already decided to leave.
02:31I had decided to let him go.
02:32But it still hurt.
02:33Caleb once said he would love me forever.
02:35Now, he broke his word.
02:37I picked up my phone and called Elder Rowan.
02:39Elder, it's me, May.
02:40May, your bloodline.
02:42Has it truly awakened?
02:43Thanks to all of you for helping force out the silver poison.
02:46Once the silver one cleared, my eyes, blind for three years, recovered, and even my de-dormant
02:50bloodline awakened too.
02:52Elder Rowan's voice shook with excitement.
02:54Goddess has shown her power.
02:55According to pack law, once my bloodline awakens, I return to inherit the throne.
02:59I will come back.
03:00But May, from the day you inherit the throne, you must bear the rise and fall of the entire
03:05pack.
03:05You can never step half a foot beyond the border again for an outsider man.
03:10Can you really bear to leave, Caleb?
03:12I can.
03:13I glanced at the tightly shut guest room door.
03:15There was no hesitation in me.
03:17Elder Rowan froze for a moment, then laughed even more heartily.
03:20Good.
03:20Our ruler is finally willing to come home.
03:22In seven days, the entire pack will be waiting to welcome you back.
03:26Crescent Hollow has waited for you for too long.
03:31I hung up the phone.
03:32I used to be unable to let go of Caleb.
03:34I had been hesitating.
03:35Now he had made the decision for me.
03:41Caleb walked in, wearing a white shirt.
03:44There were hickeys all over his neck and body.
03:47Brianna had left them there.
03:49He was not afraid of me seeing them at all.
03:51Because in his eyes, I was blind, wolfless, and useless.
03:56A sudden wave of nausea hit me, and I started dry-herbing.
03:59Caleb panicked and rushed over to me.
04:01As he got closer, Brianna's scent wrapped around me, suffocatingly thick.
04:04There was another smell too.
04:06A very faint, milky scent.
04:07My nose was more honest than my eyes.
04:09That was the scent only a pregnant she-wolf had.
04:11Brielle was pregnant.
04:12With Caleb's pup.
04:14The sickness rushed up my throat.
04:16I pushed him away hard.
04:18I kept pretending to be lined.
04:21Groping my way toward the bathroom.
04:23It turned out my body had already started to reject him.
04:26I crouched by the toilet and dry-herped.
04:29Once I recovered, I stared into the trash can.
04:32A pregnancy test lay inside with two piercing red lines.
04:36It seemed to be mocking me.
04:38I did not know how to feel at this moment.
04:40I could not even cry.
04:42There was nothing but endless pain.
04:45After I went blind, Caleb never touched me again.
04:48He turned around and went straight to Brielle.
04:50And now, he even got her pregnant with his pup.
04:54Caleb chased after me.
04:56His voice was panicked as he hugged me from behind.
04:59His face full of shock.
05:01May, what's wrong?
05:03Are you sick?
05:04You just pushed me away.
05:06My heart skipped a beat.
05:07The hands holding my waist were shaking.
05:09He held me tighter, as if I would disappear at any moment.
05:12One moment he was fucking another woman.
05:14The next second he was telling me sweet words.
05:17Yes, Caleb, you are such a good actor.
05:20I pried his hands off and took a step back.
05:23Maybe my stomach is just acting up.
05:25I haven't been able to keep anything down lately.
05:28Since when did I learn to lie?
05:30I used to hate people like this the most.
05:33But now I had become the person I hated.
05:35Hearing this,
05:37Caleb looked as if he was facing a dangerous enemy.
05:40He was a neat freak.
05:43But this time,
05:44he did not care about the mess on me at all.
05:46Instead,
05:47he held me even tighter.
05:49I'm sorry.
05:50I've been so busy lately,
05:51leaving you home alone all the time.
05:53I didn't even have time to eat with you.
05:55It's all my fault.
05:56He cupped my face,
05:58frowning with deep worry.
05:59He turned around to get clean clothes to change me.
06:02I stopped his hand and put them on myself.
06:05Caleb froze.
06:08Since we got married,
06:10this was the first time I rejected his help.
06:14His heart seemed to skip a beat.
06:18I lay down on the bed.
06:22And he carefully tucked me in.
06:27May, are you angry?
06:29Are you blaming me for not spending time with you?
06:32Tomorrow happens to be your birthday.
06:34I've canceled everything to spend the whole day with you, okay?
06:37This alpha,
06:37who was ruthless in the pack and feared by other packs,
06:40actually had such a humble side.
06:43I smiled bitterly.
06:44Was this my luck?
06:46Or my misfortune?
06:48Drownness washed over me.
06:49And I could no longer keep my eyes open.
06:52Caleb thought I was fast asleep.
06:54Right then,
06:55his phone vibrated.
06:58Caleb quickly switched it to silent
06:59and whispered my name twice.
07:01Seeing no response,
07:02he finally answered.
07:04You're so bad.
07:05You tore my panties.
07:06Bring me a new pair right now.
07:08I'll be right there.
07:11Caleb looked down at me.
07:13He gently touched my face,
07:14then got up and walked away.
07:15I gripped the bedsheets tightly.
07:17Tears finally broke through my defenses at this moment.
07:19He took advantage of my blindness
07:20and kept Briola right under our roof.
07:22I tried my best to comfort myself.
07:23It's fine.
07:24Only seven days left before I leave.
07:25We will cut dyes completely.
07:27I woke up the next morning.
07:28Caleb got up early.
07:29He cooked by himself
07:31and made a big table of breakfast.
07:33They were all the pastries and side dishes
07:35I usually loved the most.
07:37He picked up a piece and brought it to my lips.
07:39Open up.
07:39Let me feed you.
07:40Brielle, sitting across from us,
07:42pouted, looking displeased.
07:43Right in front of me,
07:44Caleb sent her a text.
07:45I'll make it up to you later.
07:46Don't make a scene in front of May.
07:48I'll give you whatever you want.
07:49Brielle finally looked pleased.
07:50She dropped her attitude,
07:51glared at me,
07:52and left the dining table.
07:53As she passed Caleb,
07:54her fingers brushed across his lap,
07:55and then she walked out.
07:57I did not eat what he fed me.
07:58I picked up my fork,
07:59pretended to be blind,
08:00and reached for another dish myself.
08:02Caleb thought I was just throwing a tantrum.
08:04After breakfast,
08:05he insisted on taking me out.
08:07He had rented a yacht.
08:08He invited a bunch of his friends,
08:09saying he wanted to throw me
08:10a grand birthday party.
08:11The whole way there,
08:13Caleb held my hand tightly,
08:14terrified I might fall.
08:15He kept talking about
08:16our sweet memories from the past.
08:18I remained silent.
08:19Irony and pain twisted together in my heart.
08:22I used to think I would spend the rest of my life with him,
08:24forever.
08:25It turned out to be a joke.
08:28Caleb loved excitement.
08:31He preferred younger bodies.
08:34He forgot the vows we made when we mated.
08:38Walking into the yacht,
08:39the floor was covered with bright red rose petals.
08:43I always hated roses,
08:45and Caleb knew it.
08:47Briella loved them.
08:49These petals were laid out for her.
08:51How ironic.
08:53He promised this birthday was only for me.
08:56I suppose that was another lie.
09:01May, this is where our mating ceremony
09:03was held back then.
09:04Witnessed by the goddess,
09:06celebrated by both packs.
09:08I wanted everyone to know
09:09that Caleb would only claim you in this lifetime.
09:13As Caleb spoke of the past,
09:15his emotions surged.
09:16His eyes actually turned red,
09:18and a tear fell.
09:19He lifted my finger,
09:21guiding it to touch the wetness on his face.
09:23How much must a man love someone
09:25to cry in front of everyone?
09:26If he had not betrayed me,
09:28I probably would have been deeply moved,
09:30throwing myself into his arms to cry with him.
09:32He did love me once.
09:34It was just that he had changed now,
09:36and that love had already been split with Griel.
09:37I calmly pulled my hand back
09:39without showing a single trace of emotion.
09:42Caleb was still lost in his memories.
09:44Seeing no reaction from me,
09:46he looked hurt and lowered his eyes.
09:48But this disappointment only lasted for a few seconds.
09:52His eyes suddenly lit up,
09:53and a smile appeared on his lips
09:55as he looked towards the deck.
09:56Brielle walked over in a custom-made dress,
09:58stunning and full of confidence.
10:00I was dressed plainly,
10:01instantly looking dull next to her.
10:03Brielle greeted me with a bright smile.
10:05May, happy birthday.
10:05The moment she finished speaking,
10:07she walked straight to Caleb's side
10:09and locked her fingers with his in front of everyone.
10:11Alpha, everything you wanted is ready.
10:14I'll count to three.
10:15One, two, three!
10:17Fireworks suddenly exploded across the night sky.
10:20Colorful lights bloomed in the darkness.
10:22The three of us stood together.
10:25Caleb and Breon held hands tightly.
10:27No matter how you looked at it,
10:29they looked like the real husband and wife.
10:31I watched the fireworks.
10:33This scene pierced straight into my eyes.
10:36When the fireworks burst,
10:37they spelled out a name in the sky.
10:39It was Brielle.
10:40There was no May.
10:41It was crystal clear who this birthday party
10:43and these fireworks were truly for.
10:46Caleb suddenly told the maid to watch after me.
10:49He said there was an emergency,
10:51and he had to leave for a bit.
10:53May, be good and wait for me to come back.
10:56He pressed a kiss onto my forehead.
10:59Then he grabbed Breonna's hand,
11:01leaving in a hurry,
11:03watching them walk away one after the end another.
11:12I followed them.
11:14I stopped outside the door.
11:16Breel was straddling Caleb,
11:18kissing him wildly.
11:19Caleb flipped over,
11:20pinning her beneath him.
11:22Good thing May is blind.
11:24I can't believe you spelled your name in the fireworks.
11:27Don't do that again.
11:29What are you scared of?
11:31She can't see anyway.
11:32Breel spoke as she tore at his clothes.
11:34Their breathing grew heavier,
11:36and then they completely lost control.
11:38Caleb gripped her waist tightly
11:40and thrust into her with powerful force.
11:42Breel screamed in pleasure,
11:44moaning loudly.
11:45She came hard.
11:46With trembling hands,
11:47I pulled out my phone,
11:48aimed it at them,
11:49and pressed record.
11:50I listened to them for as long
11:52as they tangled together inside.
11:54Finally,
11:54Breel got tired.
11:55She fell asleep on top of Caleb.
11:59But Caleb had not stopped.
12:02He pulled her up
12:03and did it to her one more time.
12:07I could not listen to any more.
12:09I turned
12:10and left in a panic.
12:13I fled all the way back home,
12:15not daring to stop.
12:16It was only when I crossed the threshold
12:18that I completely let go of Caleb.
12:21I slid off my wedding ring
12:22and threw it into the trash can.
12:24I turned back to our room
12:25and dug out everything related to Caleb.
12:28I dragged it all to the garden,
12:30dug a polt,
12:31threw everything inside,
12:32and lit it on fire,
12:34burning it to ashes.
12:35I watched coldly as the flames
12:38swallowed our memories.
12:40Caleb,
12:41there is no future for us.
12:44Just as I got back to the bedroom,
12:46Caleb burst inside,
12:47sweating profusely
12:48and looking out of his mind.
12:49The moment he saw me,
12:50the panic in his eyes faded.
12:52May,
12:52why did you run home by yourself?
12:54It's too dangerous.
12:55You scared me to death.
12:56His voice was filled
12:57with pure terror as he spoke.
12:59I smiled faintly.
13:00You were gone for too long.
13:01I was scared.
13:02So I asked the maid
13:03to bring me back first.
13:04Only then did Caleb hug me tightly,
13:06filled with guilt.
13:07I'm sorry.
13:08It's all my fault.
13:08I said nothing.
13:09Caleb did not leave either,
13:11staying right by my side.
13:12We spent a few quiet days together.
13:14On the seventh day,
13:16Caleb took me out for a walk.
13:17Halfway through,
13:18his phone rang.
13:19He made an excuse about packed business
13:21and wanted to rush off.
13:22I called out to him.
13:23We had been mates for so many years.
13:25Before I left,
13:26I wanted to say a proper goodbye.
13:28I looked at him.
13:29Caleb,
13:29stay and talk with me for a bit, okay?
13:31His steps paused,
13:32but the phone in his pocket kept vibring.
13:34It was Brianna.
13:35May, I really have an emergency.
13:37I'll make it up to you when I get back.
13:38He answered dismissively,
13:39already backing toward the door.
13:41Then he opened the door
13:42and walked out without looking back,
13:44rushing off to meet Brienne.
13:46The door clicked shut.
13:47I stood there,
13:49not even getting the chance
13:49to finish my goodbye.
13:51Fine.
13:52He was the one who refused to give me
13:53even these last few minutes.
13:55I took off my sunglasses
13:56and took one last look at this house.
13:58Goodbye, Caleb.
14:01I placed the phone
14:02with the recorded video
14:04on the coffee table.
14:06After one final glance at our home,
14:09I picked up my suitcase
14:10and walked out without looking back.
14:14Meanwhile,
14:15Caleb rushed straight to the hospital.
14:17Brianna had called him,
14:18saying she was hurt.
14:19When he arrived,
14:20he realized she had lied to him again.
14:22It was just a mild cold.
14:24Caleb glared at Brianna with annoyance.
14:27Don't be so childish in the future.
14:29Just as he was about to turn around,
14:31the healer who cured my eyes saw him.
14:33The healer asked with worry,
14:34Alpha,
14:35is something wrong with May's eyes again?
14:38What do you mean again?
14:40Caleb stared at him in confusion,
14:42not understanding what he meant.
14:44We worked together
14:44and cured May's eyes seven days ago.
14:47She was so happy back then.
14:48Then she ran off,
14:49saying she wanted to rush home
14:50and tell you the good news herself.
14:52Caleb almost lost his footing.
14:53His body slammed against the wall,
14:55a deep, bottomless panic rising in his eyes.
14:58Then he pushed Brianna away
14:59and stumbled blindly toward the house.
15:03I had just arrived at the airport
15:05when my phone rang.
15:06It was Caleb.
15:09May, have you...
15:10have you been able to see this whole time?
15:12Caleb's hands were shaking.
15:14Even his voice was trembling.
15:15Are you home right now?
15:17If you are, please turn on the TV.
15:20The answer is inside.
15:21I put down my phone
15:22and opened the home security camera app.
15:24Caleb had indeed returned home.
15:26Half an hour ago,
15:27the healer who cured my eyes
15:29had called to ask
15:30why I hadn't told Caleb
15:31about regaining my sight.
15:32I only smiled,
15:34bitterly and didn't give a straight answer.
15:36On the screen,
15:37Caleb was kneeling
15:38in front of the coffee table.
15:39His eyes were filled with tears.
15:42He turned on the TV,
15:44the screen filled with footage
15:46of him and Brianna screwing.
15:48It was the video I recorded
15:50with my own hands.
15:53Caleb grabbed his phone,
15:55his voice shaking uncontrollably.
15:56May, you could see early on?
16:00Why did you hide it from me?
16:02I let out a cold laugh,
16:04my eyes hardening.
16:06Did you ever give me a chance to speak?
16:08The day my vision returned,
16:11I walked home only to find you
16:13pressing Briella down.
16:14You broke the oath you made
16:16to the goddess.
16:17You let her carry your pup.
16:19I know everything.
16:21Caleb roared like a madman.
16:25Where are you?
16:26Did you leave?
16:28Yes, I left.
16:31Caleb, you destroyed all of this
16:33with your own hands.
16:34You already gave half of your heart
16:37to Brielle long ago.
16:39Caleb opened his mouth,
16:40but no sound came out
16:41for a long time.
16:43Only his tears kept falling unstoppably.
16:47May, I know I was wrong.
16:49Where are you right now?
16:51Tell me, please.
16:52I'll come pick you up.
16:54As long as you don't leave me,
16:55I'll do whatever you want.
16:58I'll cut ties with Brielle right now
17:00and never see her again.
17:02Caleb knelt on the floor,
17:04sobbing as he begged me
17:05with complete humility.
17:08To my surprise,
17:10my heart no longer hurt.
17:11I felt absolutely nothing.
17:13It seemed I had completely let him go.
17:16Caleb, one wrong move
17:17leads to another.
17:18An arrow shot
17:19can never be called back.
17:21I have already let you go.
17:28The boarding announcement rang out.
17:30I had to end this call.
17:31Things had come to this,
17:32and there was nothing left
17:33for Caleb and me to say.
17:35He was still begging me
17:36to come back over the phone.
17:37I hung up on him.
17:38Then I took out the SIM card,
17:40threw it into the trash can,
17:41and walked away
17:42without looking back.
17:44Scents and Hollow was far away,
17:46about 2,000 kilometers from here.
17:47I had to catch two connecting flights
17:49to finally reach home.
17:51Outsiders only saw Crescent Hollow
17:52as an ordinary port metropolis.
17:55But the ones who truly controlled
17:56this city were we.
17:57Were wolves.
17:58It had been this way
17:59since our ancestors' time.
18:01Pack rules forbade anyone
18:02from stepping beyond the border
18:03without permission.
18:04Anyone who wanted to leave
18:05had to get permission
18:06from the elder first.
18:07That year,
18:08I had the urge to see
18:09the outside world
18:09for the very first time.
18:11Back then,
18:11the whole pack thought
18:12I was a wolf-less with no wolf.
18:14No one stopped me.
18:15They only thought
18:16I was going out
18:17to clear my head.
18:17I never expected
18:18to run into Caleb
18:19right after crossing the border.
18:21He was tracking a group of hunters
18:22and stumbled into our territory
18:23by mistake.
18:24Those hunters used
18:25silver-tipped crossbow bolts
18:26and he was poisoned
18:27by the silver,
18:28collapsing in the forest.
18:29I dragged him back to my pack
18:31and begged my people
18:31to use every method they had
18:33to force the silver
18:33from his body.
18:34When he woke up,
18:35it was only to return
18:36the favor at first.
18:38He wanted to give me
18:39a large sum of money,
18:40but I refused,
18:41said goodbye,
18:42and left.
18:43The second time I met him
18:44was because I still
18:45didn't understand
18:46how wicked people could be.
18:48I was cornered in the city
18:49by a woman
18:50trying to extort money from me,
18:52unwable to escape.
18:53Caleb's car
18:54happened to drive by.
18:55He recognized me
18:56and got me out of trouble.
18:58Seeing that I was
18:59completely ignorant
19:00about the outside world,
19:01he took me along
19:02and taught me everything step.
19:04Just like that,
19:05my fondant for him
19:06slowly turned into love.
19:07He felt the same
19:08way.
19:11But on the very night
19:12I planned to confess to me,
19:14a rival pack
19:14came seeking revenge.
19:15They came for Caleb's love.
19:17A silver blade
19:18pierced through the air.
19:19He didn't notice it,
19:20so I threw myself forward
19:21to shield him.
19:22The silver poison
19:22attacked my heart
19:23and sealed the bloodline
19:24that had only just begun
19:25to stir.
19:26My eyes were blinded
19:27by that silver blade
19:28that same night.
19:28Caleb held me,
19:29guarding outside
19:30the healer's room,
19:31crying for a whole day
19:32and night.
19:33He knelt at the door,
19:34praying to the goddess
19:35for my safety.
19:35But the past was too painful
19:37to look back on.
19:38He was no longer
19:39the man he used to be.
19:40The moment I reached
19:41the border,
19:42I saw Elder Rowan
19:43leading our people,
19:44lined up to welcome me.
19:45Seeing my return,
19:46they all bowed
19:47their heads at once.
19:48The white wolf
19:48has returned.
19:51Waves of wolf howls
19:52rose across the mountains,
19:54echoing through
19:54the entire border.
19:55They were announcing
19:56to the goddess
19:56that their ruler was back.
19:58I walked forward
19:59step by step.
19:59The exhaustion
20:00from three years
20:01of wandering
20:01faded away the moment
20:02I stepped into our territory.
20:04Elder Rowan
20:05looked at me,
20:06his eyes filled with relief.
20:07May,
20:07you are finally home.
20:09But,
20:09are you truly ready
20:11to let go of Caleb?
20:12I met his graze
20:13and answered
20:13without a single second
20:14of hesitation.
20:15Caleb broke his oath
20:16to the goddess
20:17and let another she-wolf
20:18carry his pup.
20:19If I stayed,
20:20was I supposed to watch
20:21them play happy family?
20:22I gave him chance
20:23after chance
20:24to turn around.
20:25He was the one
20:26who crossed the line
20:27step by step.
20:28Elder Rowan
20:29let out a long sigh,
20:30then bowed deeply
20:31and solemnly.
20:32Very well.
20:33The goddess
20:34letting you see through him
20:35can be considered
20:36a form of guidings.
20:37From now on,
20:38the rise and fall
20:39of this pack
20:40rests on your shoulders.
20:41I looked out the window
20:42at the city
20:42that belonged to us.
20:43There were my people
20:44waiting for me
20:45and the throne
20:45the goddess
20:45had entrusted to me.
20:46The white wolf,
20:47born once in a menschery,
20:48the ruler chosen
20:49by the goddess.
20:50No man in this world
20:51deserved to make me
20:52look back ever again.
20:53From now on,
20:54I would only live
20:54for my pack.
20:57Time flew by.
20:58In the blink of an eye,
20:59three years passed.
21:00During these three years,
21:01I took the throne
21:02and ruled Crescent Hollow.
21:03I reorganized pack affairs,
21:05reassured each bloodline,
21:07and formed alliances
21:08with several neighboring packs.
21:09The people said
21:10that ever since
21:11the white wolf
21:11chosen by the goddess
21:12returned,
21:13the pack had never been
21:14so stable and prosperous.
21:15Who could have imagined
21:16that the abandoned girl
21:17once mistaken
21:18by the whole pack
21:18as wolfless
21:19would now become
21:20the ruler they looked up to?
21:21Elder Rowan
21:22had also changed his mind
21:23about the outside world.
21:25He felt that the young people
21:26in the pack
21:26should go out,
21:27explore,
21:28and see more of the world.
21:29So with my permission,
21:30the border restrictions
21:31were lifted
21:31and our people
21:32could enter
21:32and leave freely.
21:34I never expected
21:34that on the day
21:35they the restrictions
21:36were lifted,
21:37I would cross Bath's paths
21:38with Caleb again.
21:40He had found out
21:41about my return,
21:43traveled thousands
21:44of miles to the border
21:46and begged for an audience.
21:48I allowed him in,
21:50not out of old affection.
21:51This bond,
21:52dragged out for three years,
21:54needed to be cut
21:54by my own hands.
21:56The moment he walked
21:57through the door,
21:58he saw me sitting
21:59in the alpha chair,
22:00managing the pack's business.
22:02His eyes instantly turned red
22:03and he ran toward me
22:04before I could react.
22:06He wrapped his arms
22:06around me in a tight hug.
22:08This alpha,
22:08who once made other packs
22:09tremble with fear,
22:10now looked completely haggard.
22:12I finally found you.
22:14It's been three years.
22:14I've been looking for you
22:15this whole time.
22:16I searched almost
22:17the entire world.
22:18Caleb choked up
22:19with emotion
22:19as he finished speaking.
22:21Caleb held me
22:22for a long time,
22:23terrified that I would
22:24disappear again.
22:25I let out a cold laugh.
22:26I used all my strength
22:27to push him away.
22:33Caleb crashed
22:34straight onto the floor.
22:35If anyone else
22:36dared to push an alpha
22:36like this,
22:37he would have chopped
22:38off their hands himself.
22:39But right now,
22:40he wasn't angry at all.
22:41Instead,
22:41he asked nervously,
22:42Did I hold you too tight?
22:44Did I hurt you?
22:45I'm sorry, Mae.
22:46I'll be careful next time.
22:48You don't need to do this, Caleb.
22:50We were over a long time ago.
22:52Stay away from me.
22:54But Caleb acted like
22:55he was losing his mind.
22:56He stood back up
22:58and refused immediately.
22:59No!
23:00I won't do that.
23:01I can't forget you.
23:02You can kill me if you want.
23:04Just don't push me away.
23:07He lunged forward again,
23:09pressing his lips
23:10against mine.
23:11I lost my patience completely
23:13and slapped him hard
23:14across the face.
23:15I am a neat freak.
23:16I cannot tolerate betrayal.
23:18You even let another
23:20she-wolf
23:20carry your pup.
23:22You are too dirty.
23:24Caleb broke down
23:25and roared in agony.
23:26He shook his head frantically.
23:28I cut ties with Briella
23:29a long time ago.
23:30I will never make
23:31another mistake.
23:32Can you please give me
23:33one more chance?
23:33Let me make it up to you.
23:35I only pulled my hand
23:36back coldly.
23:37Caleb, I don't love you anymore.
23:39Believe it or not.
23:40Either way,
23:41there is no room
23:42for you in my future.
23:43The light in Caleb's eyes
23:44completely died out.
23:46His body went weak
23:47and he could barely stand.
23:49In an instant,
23:50his eyes turned bloodshot,
23:51his emotions spinning
23:53out of control
23:53as he sobbed
23:54with deep grief.
23:55You're lying.
23:56Our mate bond
23:57is still there.
23:58Caleb gripped
23:59my arms tightly.
24:00Do you dare to look
24:00into my eyes
24:01and say it?
24:02Say that you don't
24:03love me anymore.
24:04I lifted my head
24:05and met his eyes,
24:06dead on,
24:06without flinching.
24:07Yes.
24:08I don't love you
24:09at all anymore.
24:10I, Alpha of Crescent Hollow,
24:12formally reject you,
24:13Caleb Thorne.
24:15Caleb looked as if
24:16all his strength
24:17had been drained
24:18and his grip
24:18instantly snapped open,
24:20dot an intense pain
24:21pierced through him
24:22ruthlessly.
24:23He stumbled
24:24and fell to his knees,
24:25clutching his chest,
24:26the veins on his forehead
24:27bulging.
24:28He stared with
24:29absolute disbelief,
24:30roaring in pure agony.
24:31You,
24:32you actually rejected me.
24:35The day you left,
24:36my heart died
24:37once already.
24:38I finally found
24:39your scent,
24:40crossing mountains
24:40just to find you.
24:43But you don't want me anymore.
24:45Caleb pushed himself
24:46off the ground,
24:47standing up shakily.
24:48No,
24:49even so,
24:50I won't let go.
24:51May,
24:51I will wait for you
24:52to change your mind.
24:54He backed out of the room
24:55in a panic,
24:56nearly tripping
24:57several times
24:58along the way.
24:58Caleb did not leave
25:00the territory.
25:00Out of old affection,
25:01I permitted him to stay
25:02temporarily within the border.
25:04He did not harass me.
25:05He just followed me
25:06from a distance,
25:06guarding me.
25:07I also pretended
25:08he was invisible.
25:09No matter what he did,
25:10I never spared him
25:11a second glance.
25:12He could never win back
25:13a heart that had already
25:14stopped loving him.
25:15But he was still
25:16lying to himself,
25:17until Owen came over
25:19to catch up with me.
25:20He was an old friend
25:21I met years ago,
25:22and he was also a healer.
25:23We laughed and talked,
25:25bringing up stories
25:26from the past.
25:27But Caleb thought
25:28I was starting
25:28a new relationship.
25:30He walked over furiously,
25:32raising his hand
25:33to strike Owen.
25:35I quickly moved
25:36to block him.
25:36Caleb,
25:37if you want to act crazy,
25:38get the hell out.
25:39Don't throw your tantrum here.
25:40Owen stood up awkwardly.
25:42He said goodbye to me
25:43and left first awe
25:44after he left.
25:44I pushed Caleb away
25:46with pure disgust,
25:47but he grabbed my hand tightly,
25:49staring at me
25:49with deep affection.
25:51May,
25:51you've been calming down
25:52for a few days now.
25:53It's time to come back
25:54to my side
25:55and leave this place
25:56with me.
25:56I couldn't help
25:57but frown,
25:58letting out a cold laugh.
25:59So in his eyes,
26:00my departure for the past
26:01three years
26:02was just me throwing
26:02a tantrum
26:03and giving him
26:03the silent treatment.
26:04He probably procted
26:05that I was the ruler
26:06of this pack.
26:07My staying here
26:08was only natural.
26:09The one who had to leave
26:10was always him.
26:11I was almost driven
26:11to laughter
26:12by his sheer audacity.
26:14Caleb,
26:14have you even listened
26:15to a single word I said?
26:18I will never forget
26:19how you rolled around
26:20with Brielle
26:21right in front of my face.
26:23And I will never forget
26:24how you made me
26:25fetch that box
26:25of aphrodisiac
26:26with my own hands.
26:30Or how the fireworks
26:31at the birthday party
26:32you threw for me
26:32spelled out Brielle's name
26:34in the night sky.
26:35I don't know
26:36how thick-shitted
26:37you have to be
26:37to beg me to go home
26:38with you so calmly.
26:39You wanted excitement
26:40back then.
26:41So now you better
26:42be prepared
26:43to pay the price.
26:44Every word I spoke
26:45was like a sharp knife
26:46piercing straight
26:47into Caleb's chest
26:48and twisting hard.
26:49The pain made it difficult
26:50for him to even breathe.
26:51I was holding back
26:52my anger,
26:53almost ready to throw
26:54one more cutting line
26:55at him.
26:55But right then,
26:56Brielle burst inside.
26:59Caleb said he had cut ties
27:00with her completely.
27:01Another lie.
27:02She was alive and well.
27:03There was absolutely
27:04no change in her
27:05from the time I left
27:06three years ago.
27:07She had been bold enough
27:08to follow Caleb
27:08and sneak all the way
27:09into my border.
27:10Don't you dare touch Caleb.
27:11I'll destroy you.
27:12You're pretty much
27:13a useless cripple anyway.
27:14A vicious look
27:15crossed Brielle's face.
27:16But the moment she stepped
27:17in front of Caleb,
27:18her expression changed instantly,
27:19turning into a flattering pout.
27:21Faced with Brianna mocking me,
27:23I wasn't going to hold back anymore.
27:25An outsider she-wolf
27:26dared to make trouble
27:27on my territory.
27:29I would make her
27:30crawl out of here.
27:31Alpha,
27:32she's insulting us.
27:33Let me teach her
27:34a lesson for you.
27:35Brielle finished speaking,
27:36dropped her smile,
27:37and lunged at me furiously.
27:38She forgot who I was.
27:40I was the white wolf
27:41chosen by the goddess.
27:42Her speed was laughably
27:43slow in my eyes.
27:44But before I could even move...
27:45Shut up!
27:46I warned you never
27:47to show your face
27:48in front of me again.
27:49If your ears don't work,
27:50I don't mind cutting them off.
27:51Caleb turned around
27:52and slapped Brielle hard
27:53across the face.
27:54Brielle clutched
27:55her red, swollen cheek.
27:57She stared at Caleb
27:57in utter disbelief.
27:59Caleb's eyes were filled
28:00with nothing but pure
28:01hatred for her.
28:02In the past,
28:03he couldn't bear
28:04to lift a finger against her,
28:05nor could he bear
28:06to utter a single
28:07harsh word to her.
28:08But now,
28:09for May,
28:10he actually brought himself
28:11to strike her.
28:14May, don't listen to her.
28:15I won't let her hurt you.
28:18I cut off all contact
28:19with her three years ago.
28:20I'm really not lying to you.
28:22I swear to the goddess.
28:24Caleb explained to me
28:25with a panicked expression.
28:27I had no interest
28:28in his explanations.
28:29I only looked down
28:30at them coldly
28:31and gave my warning.
28:33Guards,
28:34take them out.
28:35If they ever step foot
28:37into Crescent Hollow again,
28:38deal with them on the spot.
28:40No need to ask
28:41for my permission.
28:42The Volfguards outside the hall
28:44entered immediately
28:44upon hearing my command.
28:46Caleb's face turned
28:47as pale as a sheet.
28:48He twisted his eyebrows
28:49in deep reluctance.
28:50But Brielle glared at me
28:51with pure hatred.
28:52She blamed me entirely
28:53for Caleb's cruelty
28:54towards her.
28:55She suddenly broke free
28:56from the guards,
28:57grabbed a vase,
28:58and hurled it at me
28:58at full speed.
29:00Caleb was standing
29:00right next to me.
29:01I shoved him out of the way
29:02and sidestepped to avoid it.
29:05May, go to hell!
29:07Just die!
29:08Brielle screamed at me
29:09in a fit of rage.
29:10She grabbed a chair
29:11and threw it at me again.
29:13I finally lost
29:13the last of my patience.
29:15The moment I dodged it,
29:16I rushed forward
29:17at top speed
29:18and kicked Brianna hard
29:19in the chest.
29:20She crashed onto the floor,
29:21howling in pain.
29:22Oh, my bad, Brielle.
29:24My foot slipped.
29:27May, I will kill you
29:29with my own hands!
29:30Caleb finally snapped
29:32out of it.
29:32He walked over to Brielle,
29:33grabbed her by the hair,
29:34and spoke with a terrifyingly
29:36fierce expression.
29:37If you dare hurt
29:37a single hair on her head,
29:38I will rip you to shreds.
29:40Hearing this,
29:41Brielle let out a tragic,
29:43bitter laugh.
29:44Her tears spilled over.
29:45You are so heartless, Caleb.
29:47I was with you for so long.
29:49The moment you flip your switch,
29:51you act like I'm a nobody.
29:52Shut up!
29:54Caleb slapped her hard,
29:55forcing her to stop.
29:56Then he looked at me nervously.
29:59Why should I shut up?
30:01We literally fucked in front
30:03of your precious Luna's face!
30:07I remember you were shaking
30:09with anger,
30:09but you didn't dare
30:10make a sound.
30:12Brielle stared right at me
30:13as she said this.
30:14She expected me to lose my mind,
30:16to fly into a rage,
30:17but she was deeply disappointed.
30:19I showed absolutely no emotion.
30:21I just watched them
30:22tear each other apart
30:23in silence.
30:24May, what are you pretending for?
30:26You were clearly mad as hell,
30:27but stayed quiet!
30:28You are so weak!
30:29I looked down at her coldly,
30:31a piece of trash like Caleb.
30:33If you want him,
30:34take him.
30:36But as for you,
30:37you messed with the wrong person.
30:40I'm afraid you won't be
30:42walking out of this border today.
30:44Hearing this,
30:45Caleb took a disheartened step back.
30:48His fingers dug deep
30:49into his own own palms.
30:51Are you finally feeling
30:53the heartbreak I felt back then, Caleb?
30:55I found the whole thing tedious
30:57and turned to leave.
30:59Caleb, did you hear that?
31:01The only person
31:02who truly loves you is me.
31:04Before anyone realized it,
31:05Caleb had shifted
31:06into his wolf form
31:07and swung his claws down.
31:09Briel suddenly screamed in agony.
31:13Briel's shoulder was ripped open,
31:15blood splattering
31:15all over the floor.
31:17It was you.
31:18You were the one
31:19who drove May away.
31:20That's why she doesn't
31:21want me anymore.
31:22And now,
31:23you still dare to hurt her.
31:25I told you,
31:26whoever dares to hurt her,
31:28I will make their life
31:29a living hell.
31:31Looking at the crazed
31:32Aunt Caleb,
31:33Aunt Brielle finally grew terrified.
31:36She curled her body up
31:37and kept crawling backward,
31:38terrified that Aunt Caleb
31:40would strike her again.
31:41I had just reached
31:42the hall door
31:42when I heard Brionnen
31:44screaming for help.
31:45I hesitated for a few seconds,
31:46but I still turned my head
31:47to look back.
31:48Caleb's arrow was exploding
31:50with wild wolf energy
31:51as he advanced on Brianna
31:53step by step.
31:54At this moment,
31:55he looked incredibly terrifying.
31:57Caleb, enough.
31:58In my territory,
32:00taking a life
32:01is not up to you.
32:02Hearing my voice,
32:03Caleb finally stopped
32:04his movements.
32:05He turned his head
32:05to look at me,
32:06half of his face
32:07still covered in fur,
32:08stained with blood.
32:09I'm getting rid
32:09of the danger for you.
32:11She said she wanted
32:12to kill you.
32:12In an instant,
32:13a wave of mixed emotions
32:14washed over me.
32:16Looking at him like this,
32:17I didn't know what to say.
32:18Meanwhile,
32:19Aunt Brielle lay on the ground,
32:20losing consciousness
32:21from the heavy blood loss.
32:23I raised my hand,
32:24ordering the wolf guards
32:25to drag her away
32:26for medical treatment
32:27and containment.
32:28Her crime
32:29did not warrant death.
32:30Her ultimate fate
32:31would be decided by me,
32:32the ruler,
32:33not by Aunt Caleb's claws.
32:35Caleb shifted back
32:36into his human form
32:37and walked slowly toward me.
32:38I did not dodge.
32:39I knew he wouldn't hurt me.
32:41He leaned his head
32:41against my shoulder
32:42and closed his eyes wearily.
32:44May,
32:45can you hold me
32:46just one more time?
32:47I raised my hands,
32:48preparing to give him
32:49that embrace.
32:50But a squad of wolf guards
32:51suddenly rushed into the hall,
32:52called in by Aunt Elder Rowan.
32:54They were under orders
32:55to take down this outsider alpha,
32:56who dared to shift
32:58and use his wolf form
32:59inside the royal court.
33:00My hands froze in mid-air.
33:01The wolf guards worked together,
33:03pinning Caleb flat onto the floor.
33:05Let go of me!
33:06May was about to hold me!
33:07Why are you stopping her?!
33:12No one paid any attention
33:13to a man losing his mind like this.
33:15I walked over.
33:16Elder Rowan blocked me,
33:17his face full of worry.
33:19Don't worry.
33:20He won't hurt me.
33:21If one last hug
33:22could finally make him give up,
33:23I was willing to embrace him
33:24one last time
33:25as the ruler of this pack.
33:27Caleb,
33:27I will hold you
33:28one last time.
33:29He leaned into my arms
33:30and broke down,
33:32sobbing controllably
33:33as if his heart
33:34were tearing apart.
33:35He told me he was sorry
33:36over and over again.
33:37He said he deserved
33:38all of this punishment.
33:39According to pack laws,
33:40any outsider
33:41who trespanned into
33:42the royal court
33:42and assaulted someone
33:43inside the hall
33:44would be banished
33:44from the territory,
33:45never to step foot
33:46inside the border again.
33:47As the wolf guards
33:48dragged him away,
33:49his eyes never left me.
33:50Looking back,
33:51the entire time,
33:52I watched him go.
33:55Mayor,
33:55are you alright?
33:56Owen rushed over,
33:57having turned back around.
33:58It turned out
33:58he had heard the commotion
33:59inside the hall
34:00and stayed right outside.
34:01Seeing that things
34:02were going wrong,
34:03he immediately informed
34:04Elder Rowan,
34:04which was how the wolf guards
34:05were summoned.
34:06I thanked him.
34:07Then,
34:07I walked out
34:08out of the royal court.
34:09The wolf guards
34:10escorted At Caleb away,
34:12his figure slowly vanishing
34:13into the night
34:14at the edge of the city.
34:15This time,
34:16we were truly saying
34:18goodbye forever.
34:19Goodbye,
34:20At Caleb.
