00:00:00After marrying Adrian Blackwood, the alpha king of the Blackwood pack, I lived a life so blissful, it felt almost
00:00:05like a dream.
00:00:06Before long, I found out I was carrying his child.
00:00:09Now, the relationship between werewolves and humans had grown increasingly tense, and the territories of every pack were steadily shrinking.
00:00:15To ensure our child could grow up safely, we kept our identities hidden.
00:00:19Living in a modern western city as nothing more than an ordinary human couple.
00:00:23On the day I went into labor, I was admitted to a private medical center Adrian had arranged in advance.
00:00:27But inside the delivery room, nothing happened the way I had expected.
00:00:31There was no fleeting burst of pheromones released with the birth of a werewolf pup.
00:00:35Nor was there the faint wolf aura that marked the awakening of werewolf blood.
00:00:39There were only two loud cries.
00:00:42The cries of ordinary human babies.
00:00:44My hands trembled as I examined both babies over and over again.
00:00:49No golden eyes.
00:00:50No wolf scent.
00:00:52No sign of a pup's awakening.
00:00:55Cold sweat instantly soaked through my back.
00:00:57The image of Adrian passing judgment on a traitor surfaced in my mind without warning.
00:01:01As the alpha king of the Blackwood Pack, he had never shown mercy to anyone who betrayed the pack.
00:01:06Once, a wolf had conspired with werewolf hunters in an attempt to betray the entire pack.
00:01:10Adrian on the night of the full moon.
00:01:12Adrian personally exiled him from the pack's territory and left him to be torn apart by the wolves.
00:01:16Even now, that scene still haunted my nightmares.
00:01:20Just then, a familiar and gentle voice came from outside the door.
00:01:25Evelyn, my love, may I come in and see our babies?
00:01:28My entire body went rigid, and I couldn't bring myself to answer.
00:01:32Silence lingered outside the door before concern slowly crept into Adrian's voice.
00:01:36Evelyn, are you feeling unwell?
00:01:39If you don't answer me, I'm coming in.
00:01:40I snapped back to my senses and forced every ounce of strength into making my voice sound as soft as
00:01:45it always did whenever I acted spoiled around him.
00:01:47Don't. I've just given birth. I must look terrible right now.
00:01:49Could you wait outside for a little while?
00:01:51Let me freshen up before I let you see me.
00:01:53Silence filled the hallway for several seconds.
00:01:55I knew that with Adrian's sharp instincts, he had already sensed that something was wrong.
00:01:59But I kept pleading with him, again and again.
00:02:01Alright, get some rest. I'll be waiting right outside.
00:02:02The moment they disappeared completely, I collapsed onto the floor.
00:02:05Fortunately, I had always been the kind of woman who loved clinging to him and acting spalled.
00:02:09Otherwise, I might already have been dead today.
00:02:12But I knew I could only delay the inevitable.
00:02:15Grinning my teeth, I examined the twins once again.
00:02:18There was still no sign whatsoever of their werewolf blood awakening.
00:02:25How could this be?
00:02:27Could it be?
00:02:29Had I really betrayed him?
00:02:31I pounded my head with both hands.
00:02:34Had pregnancy and childbirth somehow erased part of my memory?
00:02:38I was a human descendant who carried werewolf blood.
00:02:41And my status within the pack had always been low.
00:02:44If I hadn't married Adrian and became the future Luna,
00:02:48I would still be looked down upon by the high-rig werewolves.
00:02:51By all logic, it should have been impossible for the Alpha King and me
00:02:54to have two children with no werewolf traits at all.
00:02:57There had been similar cases throughout history.
00:03:00But every newborn had awakened with at least the faintest trace of wolf aura.
00:03:05I forced myself to calm down.
00:03:08I loved Adrian with all my heart.
00:03:10I would never betray him, nor would I ever dare to.
00:03:13Before me, Adrian had once been engaged to another woman.
00:03:17Everyone said she had fallen in love with a human.
00:03:20Later, she was subjected to the highest, the highest judgment of werewolf law before the entire pack.
00:03:25No one dared speak of what had truly happened.
00:03:28But that day, every werewolf lowered their head,
00:03:30and not a single soul dared plead for mercy on her behalf.
00:03:36Taking a deep breath, I pressed the call button beside my hospital bed.
00:03:40A moment later, the private physician entered the room.
00:03:43Dr. Mason Reed was also a werewolf,
00:03:45living undercover among humans as a physician.
00:03:47The moment I saw how pale he looked, I understood.
00:03:51He had already discovered the truth.
00:03:54But since Adrian hadn't burst into the room,
00:03:57there was still a chance to salvage the situation.
00:04:02Mrs. Blackwood?
00:04:03Without a word, I took a black card from my bedside bag and placed it in front of him.
00:04:09You've worked hard today.
00:04:11He opened his mouth to speak, but I cut him off immediately.
00:04:15The babies couldn't be saved.
00:04:17They were stillborn.
00:04:20But Mr. Blackwood is still waiting outside.
00:04:23Do you not understand what I'm saying?
00:04:24The two babies born today are dead.
00:04:26I'm overwhelmed with grief and need complete rest.
00:04:29I won't be seeing anyone.
00:04:30That includes my husband.
00:04:31I slowly push the black card closer to him.
00:04:35There's enough money on this card for you and your entire medical team
00:04:38to live comfortably for the rest of your lives.
00:04:40You saw nothing today.
00:04:42And you know nothing.
00:04:43Dr. Reed, you understand this better than anyone.
00:04:46If the Alpha King discovers you've concealed anything from him,
00:04:50do you really think you'll leave this place alive?
00:04:53He stared fixingly at the black card as conflict flittered across his eyes.
00:04:57Greed.
00:04:58Fear.
00:04:59In the end, greed won.
00:05:01He slowly nodded, picked up the black card,
00:05:04and hurried out of the room as if fleeing for his life.
00:05:11I cautiously walked to the door,
00:05:13cracked it open slightly,
00:05:14and peered through the gap.
00:05:16I saw Adrian standing in the hallway,
00:05:18speaking quietly with the doctor.
00:05:20His face was filled with worry.
00:05:22But in the end,
00:05:23he believed the doctor's explanation
00:05:24and slowly turned to leave the hospital.
00:05:27Only after the black sedan disappeared from the parking lot
00:05:31did I finally let out a long breath,
00:05:33my entire body on the verge of collapse.
00:05:36Just then, Dr. Reed pushed the door open and returned.
00:05:40I spoke in a low voice.
00:05:42Discharge me immediately
00:05:43and prepare an incubator for the babies.
00:05:47Right now?
00:05:48Yes.
00:05:49I looked at my two sleeping babies.
00:05:52I couldn't stay here for another second.
00:05:54Late that night,
00:05:55I drove away from the private medical center as fast as I could.
00:05:59An incubator rested on the passenger seat,
00:06:02with my two babies sleeping peacefully inside.
00:06:04My son looked almost identical to Adrian.
00:06:07He had the same defined brow and high-bridged nose.
00:06:10Even the slight frown on his sleeping face was exactly the same.
00:06:13My daughter resembled me more.
00:06:14She had fair skin and long eyelashes.
00:06:16Even in her sleep,
00:06:17she would unconsciously perch by tiny lips.
00:06:19I gripped the steering wheel so tightly
00:06:21that my knuckles turned white.
00:06:23Why?
00:06:23Why was there not the slightest sign
00:06:25of their werewolf blood awakening?
00:06:26I simply couldn't accept it.
00:06:28Eventually, my car came to a stop
00:06:30in front of a red brick building.
00:06:31It was St. Mary Children's Home.
00:06:33The director, Grace Wilson,
00:06:35was already waiting outside.
00:06:37Miss Carter, you're finally here.
00:06:39These are a friend's children.
00:06:42Their father abandoned her.
00:06:44She can't raise them on her own,
00:06:45so I was hoping the orphanage
00:06:47could take care of them for a while.
00:06:49Over the years,
00:06:50the conflict between werewolves and humans
00:06:52had only grown worse.
00:06:53As the Alpha King of the Blackwood Pack,
00:06:56Adrian had fought tirelessly
00:06:57to protect his people.
00:06:58He had clashed with werewolf hunter organizations
00:07:01countless times.
00:07:02To ordinary humans,
00:07:03he was nothing more than a cold,
00:07:05mysterious business tycoon.
00:07:06Only those who truly understood
00:07:08the werewolf world knew
00:07:09that every decision he made
00:07:11could determine the survival
00:07:12of the entire pack.
00:07:13Yet I had always believed
00:07:15that innocent humans had also suffered
00:07:17because of those wars.
00:07:18That was why, over the years,
00:07:20I had secretly funded orphanages and charities
00:07:22under an anonymous identity.
00:07:24That was how Grace and I
00:07:25gradually became acquainted.
00:07:26She didn't know who I really was,
00:07:28nor did she know
00:07:29that I was the Alpha King's wife.
00:07:31This was the only place
00:07:32I could think of that was truly safe.
00:07:34Grace lowered her gaze
00:07:35to the two babies.
00:07:36Her eyes lingered briefly
00:07:37between the little girl's face and mine,
00:07:40as though she had noticed
00:07:41a slight resemblance.
00:07:42In the end,
00:07:43she simply nodded
00:07:44with a gentle smile.
00:07:45Don't worry.
00:07:46We'll take good care of them.
00:07:48If your friend ever wants
00:07:49to come back and visit them,
00:07:50she'll always be welcome.
00:07:52I nodded,
00:07:53struggling to suppress the ache
00:07:54in my chest.
00:07:54just as I was about to place
00:07:56the babies into her arms.
00:07:58The two little ones,
00:07:59who had been sleeping peacefully,
00:08:00suddenly seemed to sense something
00:08:01at the exact same moment.
00:08:03They burst into tears together.
00:08:05Their cries were desperate and piercing,
00:08:07as though they were trying
00:08:08with all their might
00:08:08to stop someone from leaving.
00:08:10My body trembled violently,
00:08:11and it felt as if someone
00:08:13had ripped my heart open,
00:08:14leaving me barely able to breathe.
00:08:16I forced myself to turn away,
00:08:18afraid to look at them again.
00:08:19But their cries only grew louder.
00:08:22Grace picked up one baby
00:08:23while a staff member
00:08:24carried the other.
00:08:25No matter how they tried
00:08:26to comfort them,
00:08:27nothing worked.
00:08:29Grace looked at me helplessly.
00:08:31Miss Carter,
00:08:32would you like to hold them
00:08:33one more time?
00:08:34I closed my eyes,
00:08:35took a deep breath,
00:08:36and shook my head
00:08:37with all my strength.
00:08:38No.
00:08:39I fled in utter panic,
00:08:40not even turning back
00:08:41when one of my high heels
00:08:42slipped off at the entrance.
00:08:43I was terrified.
00:08:44If I looked back even once,
00:08:46I knew I'd never have the strength
00:08:47to leave them behind.
00:08:48My car merged back
00:08:49onto the highway.
00:08:49The night was pitch black,
00:08:51and the city's light
00:08:51streamed past my windows.
00:08:53In the end,
00:08:53I pulled over onto
00:08:54the emergency shoulder.
00:08:55I collapsed over the steering wheel
00:08:56and sobbed controllably.
00:08:57I didn't know whether
00:08:58I was crying for my own fate
00:09:00or for the two children
00:09:00I had abandoned with my own hands.
00:09:02I didn't dare return
00:09:03to Blackwood Manor.
00:09:04Instead,
00:09:05I went to the small apartment
00:09:06I had bought before my marriage.
00:09:07I filled the bathtub
00:09:08with steaming hot water.
00:09:10But no matter how hot
00:09:11the water was,
00:09:12it couldn't drive away
00:09:13the chill buried deep inside me.
00:09:14I lay in bed,
00:09:15unable to sleep
00:09:16the entire night.
00:09:17All I could see
00:09:18was the image
00:09:18of my babies crying
00:09:20as they looked at me
00:09:21for the last time.
00:09:24Only when dawn
00:09:25was about to break
00:09:26did exhaustion
00:09:27finally pull me into sleep.
00:09:28My dreams were nothing
00:09:30but chaos.
00:09:31One moment,
00:09:32Adrian had discovered
00:09:32the truth.
00:09:33He stood beneath
00:09:34the full moon,
00:09:35his golden wolf eyes
00:09:36devoid of warmth
00:09:37as he demanded to know
00:09:38who the children
00:09:38truly belonged to.
00:09:40The next moment,
00:09:41my babies were crying
00:09:42endlessly in the orphanage,
00:09:44calling for their mother.
00:09:46I desperately reached out
00:09:47to hold them,
00:09:48but no matter how hard
00:09:49I tried,
00:09:50I could never touch them.
00:09:51The next morning,
00:09:52I was awakened
00:09:53by a burst of cheerful laughter.
00:09:55Still half asleep,
00:09:57I slowly opened my eyes.
00:09:59I slowly opened my eyes.
00:10:01The next second,
00:10:02I fell straight out of bed.
00:10:03On the soft rug
00:10:04beside the bed,
00:10:05two chubby little babies
00:10:06were lying there
00:10:07happily sucking
00:10:08on their tiny hands.
00:10:09It was my two babies!
00:10:10It was my two babies!
00:10:11I nearly screamed in shock.
00:10:13How were they here?
00:10:14I had personally taken them
00:10:15to the children's home
00:10:16last night.
00:10:17My phone kept vibrating.
00:10:19Dozens of missed calls,
00:10:21all from Grace.
00:10:22I immediately called her back.
00:10:25Thank goodness!
00:10:27You finally answered!
00:10:28This morning,
00:10:29when the staff checked
00:10:30on the babies,
00:10:30they were gone!
00:10:31We've searched
00:10:32the entire orphanage
00:10:33and we're just about
00:10:33to call the police!
00:10:34Don't!
00:10:41The words escaped
00:10:43my mouth
00:10:43almost instinctively.
00:10:44If the police
00:10:45became involved,
00:10:46my identity
00:10:47could be exposed.
00:10:50Grace was clearly
00:10:51taken aback.
00:10:53What?
00:10:54My mind raced
00:10:56and I had no choice
00:10:57but to lie.
00:11:00Last night,
00:11:01my friend couldn't bear
00:11:02to leave her babies behind.
00:11:03She secretly followed me
00:11:05to the children's home.
00:11:07After everyone fell asleep,
00:11:09she took them back.
00:11:10Grace fell silent
00:11:11for a few seconds
00:11:12before letting out a sigh.
00:11:14I see.
00:11:16So she just couldn't
00:11:17let them go.
00:11:18It's alright.
00:11:19If she ever changes
00:11:20her mind,
00:11:21tell her she can
00:11:22contact me anytime.
00:11:23Thank you, Grace.
00:11:24I thanked her repeatedly
00:11:26before finally ending
00:11:27the call.
00:11:28Then I immediately
00:11:29called Dr. Reed.
00:11:31Over the phone,
00:11:32he repeatedly assured me
00:11:33that Adrian still knew
00:11:34nothing about the truth.
00:11:35Only then did I finally
00:11:36breathe a small sigh
00:11:37of relief.
00:11:39Just then,
00:11:40a familiar message
00:11:41appeared on my phone.
00:11:43It was from Adrian.
00:11:44My love,
00:11:45nothing in this world
00:11:46is more important
00:11:47to me than you.
00:11:48Whenever you're ready
00:11:49to see me again,
00:11:50just call me
00:11:50and I'll come back
00:11:51immediately.
00:11:52My nose instantly
00:11:54sting with emotion.
00:11:56If it weren't
00:11:57for these two children,
00:11:59I would have thrown
00:12:00myself into his arms
00:12:01without hesitation.
00:12:02But now,
00:12:03I lowered my head
00:12:05and looked at the
00:12:05two little ones
00:12:06staring up at me
00:12:07with their big round eyes.
00:12:08The moment they saw me,
00:12:09they broke into
00:12:10bright smiles.
00:12:11In that instant,
00:12:12my heart melted completely.
00:12:14I couldn't help
00:12:15but gather both of them
00:12:16into my arms.
00:12:18They were so warm,
00:12:20so soft.
00:12:21Why?
00:12:23Why weren't they werewolves?
00:12:24I didn't dwell
00:12:25on how they had
00:12:26ended up here.
00:12:27Perhaps it was
00:12:28simply fate.
00:12:30After all,
00:12:31they were the children
00:12:32I had risked my life
00:12:33to bring into the world.
00:12:34How could I possibly
00:12:35abandon them?
00:12:36From that day forward,
00:12:38I began living
00:12:39a double life,
00:12:40raising my children
00:12:41in secret
00:12:42while desperately
00:12:42are the truth.
00:12:46Having no experience
00:12:48caring for babies,
00:12:49I quietly hired
00:12:50an experienced nanny.
00:12:53I named my son
00:12:54Ethan Blackwood.
00:12:55My daughter was
00:12:56named Emma Blackwood.
00:12:57They were the names
00:12:58Adrian and I
00:12:59had chosen long ago.
00:13:00Now,
00:13:01they had finally
00:13:02come into this world.
00:13:03Only,
00:13:04nothing had turned out
00:13:05the way we had dreamed.
00:13:07Meanwhile,
00:13:08I continued returning
00:13:09to the private medical center
00:13:10every day.
00:13:11There,
00:13:12I played the role
00:13:13of a grieving mother
00:13:14who had just lost
00:13:15her children.
00:13:16Adrian hardly left my side.
00:13:18again and again,
00:13:20he tried to comfort me.
00:13:22But no matter
00:13:23what he said,
00:13:24all I could do
00:13:25was cry in silence.
00:13:31Urgent reports
00:13:32kept arriving
00:13:32from the pack.
00:13:33The Elder Council
00:13:35urged the Alpha King
00:13:36to return to
00:13:37pack territory
00:13:37immediately.
00:13:39I was the one
00:13:40who persuaded him
00:13:41to leave.
00:13:42Adrian,
00:13:43you should go back
00:13:44first.
00:13:45The pack can't remain
00:13:46without its Alpha.
00:13:48I'll be fine.
00:13:49Once I've gathered myself,
00:13:51I'll contact you.
00:13:54Adrian pinned me
00:13:55to the bed
00:13:56with his tall,
00:13:56impressive body
00:13:57and gazed deep
00:13:58into my eyes.
00:14:00You are trembling,
00:14:01Evelyn.
00:14:02You smell entirely
00:14:03of panic.
00:14:04Without waiting
00:14:05for my explanation.
00:14:07His rough,
00:14:09large hands
00:14:09tore open my collar.
00:14:10He buried his face
00:14:12in the crock
00:14:12of my neck,
00:14:14savagely sniffing
00:14:15and biting my skin.
00:14:21I hate it.
00:14:22I am going to cover you
00:14:24completely with my scent,
00:14:26inside and out.
00:14:30One of his hands
00:14:31dominoly ripped off
00:14:32my panides,
00:14:33his rough,
00:14:34scorching fingers
00:14:35pushing directly
00:14:36into my most hidden wetness.
00:14:46under the intense
00:14:47shivering
00:14:48and the extreme terror
00:14:49of my secret
00:14:50being exposed
00:14:51at any second,
00:14:52pleasure pierced
00:14:54through me
00:14:54like electricity.
00:14:59To avoid
00:15:00being suspected,
00:15:01I could only
00:15:02keep yielding to him,
00:15:03putting him at ease.
00:15:07after the final thrust,
00:15:09he panted heavily,
00:15:11held me
00:15:11and agreed
00:15:12to go back.
00:15:13Evelyn,
00:15:13promise me
00:15:15you don't face
00:15:16everything alone.
00:15:17I'll be back
00:15:18soon.
00:15:19That very day,
00:15:20his private jet
00:15:21departed for the
00:15:22Blackwood Packs territory.
00:15:26only after his plane
00:15:28had taken off
00:15:28did I finally
00:15:29breathe a sigh
00:15:30of relief.
00:15:32At least,
00:15:34my babies
00:15:34would be safe
00:15:35for a little while.
00:15:36My apartment
00:15:37was located
00:15:38in one of the most
00:15:39exclusive residential
00:15:41districts
00:15:41in the city center.
00:15:43Security was
00:15:44extremely tight,
00:15:45making it nearly
00:15:46impossible for outsiders
00:15:47to gain access.
00:15:48For the first time,
00:15:49I felt a small
00:15:50sense of security.
00:15:52Every day,
00:15:53I buried myself
00:15:54in parenting guides
00:15:55and child care books.
00:15:56I learned how
00:15:57to prepare formula,
00:15:59change diapers,
00:16:00and hold a newborn
00:16:01properly.
00:16:02Fortunately,
00:16:03Ethan and Emma
00:16:04were far easier
00:16:04to care for
00:16:05than I had expected.
00:16:06They never cried
00:16:07through the night
00:16:08the way so many
00:16:09parenting articles
00:16:09warned they would.
00:16:12Almost every night,
00:16:13they slept peacefully
00:16:14until sunrise.
00:16:15They fed on schedule
00:16:17and were remarkably calm.
00:16:19Even the Narnie
00:16:20I hired,
00:16:20Mary,
00:16:21couldn't help
00:16:22but marvel at them.
00:16:23Mrs. Carter,
00:16:24these are the easiest
00:16:25twins I've ever
00:16:26cared for.
00:16:27They're practically
00:16:28two little angels.
00:16:29All I could do
00:16:30was smile bitterly.
00:16:33If they truly
00:16:34were werewolf pups,
00:16:36perhaps it would
00:16:36make sense for them
00:16:37to mature faster
00:16:38than ordinary babies.
00:16:39But I had examined
00:16:40them countless times.
00:16:42There was still
00:16:43not the slightest sign
00:16:44of their werewolf
00:16:45blood awakening.
00:16:46Little by little,
00:16:47those two tiny babies
00:16:49completely melted
00:16:50my heart.
00:16:51The happiest part
00:16:52of every day
00:16:53was simply being
00:16:54with them.
00:16:55Watching them sleep,
00:16:57watching them smile,
00:16:58watching them grow
00:16:59a little more each day,
00:17:00I even began to imagine
00:17:02that perhaps life
00:17:03could stay like this
00:17:04forever.
00:17:05But happiness
00:17:06never seemed to last.
00:17:09That afternoon,
00:17:10my phone suddenly rang.
00:17:12The caller ID
00:17:13showed Dr. Mason Reed.
00:17:15The moment I answered,
00:17:16his anxious voice
00:17:17came through the line.
00:17:18Mrs. Blackwood,
00:17:19I'm sorry.
00:17:21I've been keeping
00:17:22something from you.
00:17:24My heart instantly sank.
00:17:28What do you mean?
00:17:29Silence filled
00:17:30the other end
00:17:31of the line
00:17:31for a moment.
00:17:32I didn't tell
00:17:33Mr. Blackhall
00:17:34that the babies
00:17:34were still bound
00:17:35as you instructed.
00:17:37Instead,
00:17:37I told him
00:17:38that the twins
00:17:39were in critical condition
00:17:40and required
00:17:41a special medicine.
00:17:42My mind went blank
00:17:43with a loud buzz
00:17:44and I shot to my feet.
00:17:52What did you just say?
00:17:54Dr. Reed's voice
00:17:56grew quieter and quieter.
00:17:58The Alpha King
00:17:59didn't leave
00:18:00because of pack affairs.
00:18:01He personally traveled
00:18:03to Northern Europe
00:18:04to search for
00:18:04an ancient serum
00:18:05capable of stabilize
00:18:07a werewolf pup's bloodline.
00:18:09Now,
00:18:10he's found it.
00:18:11He's already
00:18:12on his way back.
00:18:13I felt as though
00:18:15I had been struck
00:18:15by lightning.
00:18:17No wonder
00:18:18he had left
00:18:19without hesitation
00:18:19that day.
00:18:20It wasn't because
00:18:21he loved me any less.
00:18:23It was because
00:18:23he was trying
00:18:24to save his children.
00:18:25The thought
00:18:26made my eyes
00:18:27sting with tears.
00:18:28But in the very next second,
00:18:30an even greater terror
00:18:31consumed me completely.
00:18:33Once Adrian returned,
00:18:35he would definitely
00:18:36want to see the babies.
00:18:37And Ethan and Emma
00:18:39weren't the werewolf pups
00:18:40he believed them to be.
00:18:41If he injected
00:18:42a serum meant
00:18:43for werewolf pups
00:18:44into two ordinary
00:18:45human infants,
00:18:47they would die.
00:18:48My hands began
00:18:49trembling uncontrollably.
00:18:51What should I do?
00:18:53What was I supposed to do?
00:18:56I couldn't let him
00:18:57find them.
00:18:58No matter what,
00:19:00a desperate idea
00:19:01slowly began
00:19:02to take shape
00:19:02in my mind.
00:19:04I reached out
00:19:05to every werewolf contact
00:19:06I'd made over the years,
00:19:07people whose lives
00:19:09I had once helped.
00:19:11Using Dr. Reed's name,
00:19:13I quietly spread the word.
00:19:15The message claimed
00:19:16that a wealthy Humie
00:19:17was willing to secretly
00:19:18adopt a pair
00:19:19of newborn werewolf twins.
00:19:21A few days later,
00:19:23someone finally responded.
00:19:24We agreed to meet deep
00:19:25within a primeval forest
00:19:27outside the city.
00:19:28It was also the outer boundary
00:19:29of the Blackwood Pax territory.
00:19:31Night fell.
00:19:33Wearing a cap
00:19:34and a face mask,
00:19:35I arrived at the meeting place
00:19:36alone.
00:19:37Beside a campfire
00:19:38sat a young woman,
00:19:39pale and exhausted.
00:19:41She was covered in blood,
00:19:42her face drained
00:19:43of all color.
00:19:44In her arms
00:19:45were a pair
00:19:45of newborn twins.
00:19:46Although she still
00:19:47appeared human,
00:19:49whenever her emotions
00:19:50fluctuated,
00:19:50her eyes uncontrollably
00:19:52shifted into a
00:19:53brilliant amber,
00:19:54and sharp wolf claws
00:19:56began to emerge
00:19:57from her fingertips.
00:19:58I recognized at a glance
00:20:00that she was
00:20:00an omega werewolf.
00:20:02As for the two babies,
00:20:04even though they hadn't
00:20:05gone through
00:20:05their first wolf shift yet,
00:20:06they already carried
00:20:08a faint trace
00:20:09of a werewolf's aura.
00:20:10It was the
00:20:11understakable mark
00:20:12of an exceptionally
00:20:13pure bloodline.
00:20:14She had no idea
00:20:15who I really was,
00:20:17nor did she know
00:20:18that the woman
00:20:18standing before her
00:20:19was the alpha king's mate.
00:20:22She forced a weak smile.
00:20:23Their father ran away.
00:20:26I can't raise them
00:20:27by myself,
00:20:29and I don't want them
00:20:30growing up in the slums.
00:20:32She looked up at me.
00:20:35I know you can afford
00:20:37to give them
00:20:38a better life.
00:20:39More and more werewolves
00:20:40were choosing to live
00:20:41hidden among humans.
00:20:42Mortgage payments,
00:20:44jobs,
00:20:45medical bills.
00:20:46They faced the same
00:20:48financial pressures
00:20:48as ordinary humans.
00:20:50Many low-ranking werewolves
00:20:52couldn't even afford
00:20:52to raise their own children.
00:20:54After a long silence,
00:20:56I took out the check
00:20:57I had prepared in advance
00:20:58and gently placed it
00:20:59before her.
00:21:02This money
00:21:02is enough for you
00:21:04to start over.
00:21:05The woman stared
00:21:06at the amount
00:21:06on the check
00:21:07as her eyes
00:21:07slowly filled with tears.
00:21:09Will
00:21:11I ever be allowed
00:21:12to see them again?
00:21:13Her voice was so soft
00:21:14it was almost inaudible.
00:21:15I fell silent.
00:21:17In the end,
00:21:18I told the lie
00:21:19I had no choice
00:21:20but to tell.
00:21:20I'll raise them
00:21:21as if they were my own.
00:21:23She cried
00:21:24without making a sound,
00:21:25silent tears
00:21:26streaming down her face.
00:21:28Then she gently placed
00:21:30the werewolf twins
00:21:31into my arms.
00:21:32It was the first time
00:21:34I had ever held
00:21:34true werewolf babies.
00:21:36Their body temperature
00:21:37was slightly warmer
00:21:38than that of ordinary humans
00:21:39and they carried
00:21:41a delicate scent
00:21:42of forest pine
00:21:43and cedar.
00:21:44A sharp sting
00:21:45rose in my nose.
00:21:48I suddenly thought
00:21:49of my own two
00:21:50soft, precious
00:21:51human babies.
00:21:52I wondered if they
00:21:53had been drinking
00:21:54their milk without fuss.
00:21:55I temporarily left
00:21:56Ethan and Emma
00:21:57in Mary's care.
00:21:58Then I carried
00:21:59the werewolf twins
00:22:00back to Blackwood Manor.
00:22:01After that,
00:22:02I had Dr. Reed
00:22:03inform Adrian
00:22:04that the babies
00:22:05were finally out of danger.
00:22:06I couldn't allow
00:22:07two perfectly healthy
00:22:08werewolf babies
00:22:09to be injected
00:22:10with an ancient serum
00:22:11of unknown origin.
00:22:13Otherwise,
00:22:13I would never be able
00:22:15to face their real mother.
00:22:16That night,
00:22:17a violent storm
00:22:18swept across
00:22:19the entire city.
00:22:21The gates of Manor
00:22:22slowly opened.
00:22:24A tall,
00:22:25imposing figure
00:22:26stepped inside.
00:22:28The familiar scent
00:22:29of cedar
00:22:30instantly enveloped me.
00:22:31Without hesitation,
00:22:33Adrian crushed me
00:22:34fiercely against
00:22:35his broad,
00:22:36rock-hard chest.
00:22:37His long,
00:22:38black coat
00:22:39was slick
00:22:40with cold rain,
00:22:41but his body heat
00:22:42was scorchingly hot.
00:22:44Instead of being
00:22:45gentle like usual,
00:22:46he roughly tore
00:22:47open my collar,
00:22:48burying his sharp nose
00:22:49into the cruff
00:22:49of my neck,
00:22:50inhaling my smell
00:22:51frantically.
00:22:51Evelyn,
00:22:52I'm home.
00:22:54The only thing
00:22:55I worried about
00:22:55on my way back
00:22:56was you and our children.
00:22:58His rough,
00:22:59chaliced hands
00:23:00slid down my spine,
00:23:02savagely kneading
00:23:03my flesh
00:23:03and forcing me
00:23:04flush against
00:23:05his already rock-hard,
00:23:06surging eruption.
00:23:07The intense
00:23:08masculine hormones
00:23:09and his deeply
00:23:10aggressive movements
00:23:11made me shiver
00:23:12all over.
00:23:13Even though my heart
00:23:14was filled with
00:23:14the sheer terror
00:23:15of my baby-swapping secret,
00:23:17my legs involuntarily
00:23:18weakened
00:23:19and a hidden wetness
00:23:20quietly spread.
00:23:21Suppressing my
00:23:22extreme guilt,
00:23:23I was forced
00:23:24to tilt my head back,
00:23:25enduring a deep,
00:23:26bruising kiss
00:23:27that felt more
00:23:28like a bite,
00:23:29staying entwined
00:23:30with him
00:23:30in a suffocating
00:23:31haze of lust.
00:23:33At last,
00:23:33forcing down
00:23:34the rampaging desire
00:23:35in his blood,
00:23:36he walked toward
00:23:37the crib with heavy,
00:23:38ragged breaths,
00:23:39the unmistakable joy
00:23:40of a new father
00:23:41written all over
00:23:42his face.
00:23:42But the very next second,
00:23:44the smile on his face
00:23:45froze.
00:23:46He slowly turned
00:23:47to look at me,
00:23:48his icy blue wolf eyes
00:23:50fixed on mine
00:23:50as a cryptic smile
00:23:51curved across his lips.
00:23:53Evelyn,
00:23:55are you certain
00:23:56these are our children?
00:24:01At that moment,
00:24:02my heart sank
00:24:03straight to the bottom.
00:24:05The scene before mine
00:24:07was exactly the same
00:24:08as the one I had witnessed
00:24:09when Adrian judged a traitor.
00:24:11The calmer he appeared,
00:24:13the more dangerous
00:24:14he became.
00:24:15It felt as though
00:24:16every drop of blood
00:24:17in my body
00:24:18had frozen.
00:24:20How could this be?
00:24:21To find these
00:24:22werewolf twins,
00:24:23Dr. Reed and I
00:24:24had practically searched
00:24:25through every newborn pup
00:24:26that met the requirements.
00:24:28Not only did they possess
00:24:29an exceptionationally
00:24:30pure bloodline,
00:24:32their features even
00:24:33bore a slight resemblance
00:24:34to both Adrian and I.
00:24:36How could he have noticed
00:24:37something was wrong
00:24:38with a single glance?
00:24:42Of course.
00:24:44I forced myself
00:24:45to remain calm,
00:24:46but my voice still
00:24:47trembled introllably.
00:24:48Just look at them.
00:24:50Their eyes are like yours
00:24:51and their noses
00:24:52look like mine.
00:24:54They even released
00:24:55a wolf era
00:24:56the moment they were born.
00:24:58I tried my best
00:24:59to look hurt.
00:25:01Adrian,
00:25:02you're not accusing me
00:25:03of betraying you,
00:25:04are you?
00:25:05I deliberately threw
00:25:06the question back at him,
00:25:08hoping it would make me
00:25:09appear innocent,
00:25:10but he simply stared at me,
00:25:12his ice-blue eyes
00:25:14as unfathomable
00:25:15as the ocean.
00:25:20Lucas.
00:25:21As soon as his voice faded,
00:25:25the manor doors
00:25:26opened once more.
00:25:28More than a dozen
00:25:29high-ranking alphas
00:25:30of the Blackwood Pack
00:25:31entered one after another.
00:25:36Behind them came
00:25:37and the eldest high priest
00:25:38of the Packer Council.
00:25:41The instant I saw
00:25:42the high priest,
00:25:43my entire body stiffened.
00:25:45Today
00:25:45just happened to be
00:25:47the night of the full moon.
00:25:48A full moon
00:25:49was when every werewolf's
00:25:51power reached its peak.
00:25:52It was also
00:25:53when blood resonance
00:25:54was at its strongest.
00:25:55If werewolves
00:25:56who shared a direct bloodline
00:25:58performed the blood
00:25:59resesonase ritual
00:26:00beneath the full moon,
00:26:02their wolf aura
00:26:03would naturally merge.
00:26:04There was no way
00:26:06to fake the result.
00:26:08My mind went
00:26:09completely blank.
00:26:15It's over.
00:26:17Everything is over.
00:26:19Holding the babies
00:26:20in my arms,
00:26:21I stood frozen
00:26:22like a statue.
00:26:23The high priest
00:26:24had already begun
00:26:25preparing the ritual.
00:26:28Silvery moonlight
00:26:29streamed through
00:26:30the floor-to-ceiling windows
00:26:31into the grand hall.
00:26:33The air gradually filled
00:26:34with the rich scent
00:26:35of werewolf pheromones.
00:26:37The high priest
00:26:39placed the sacred
00:26:40wolf fang emblem,
00:26:41the symbol of the pack's faith,
00:26:43upon the table.
00:26:44He then took out
00:26:45a silver needle.
00:26:48One by one,
00:26:49he pricked the fingertips
00:26:50of both babies
00:26:51and Adrian.
00:26:52Several drops
00:26:53of crimson blood
00:26:54slowly fell
00:26:55into a silver paste
00:26:57engraved
00:26:57with ancient wolf rusins.
00:26:59The entire hall
00:27:00fell deathly silent.
00:27:02Everyone held their breath,
00:27:04waiting for the final verdict.
00:27:06Meanwhile,
00:27:07Adrian remained seated,
00:27:08his head lowered
00:27:09as he casually rotated
00:27:10the obstidian ring
00:27:11on his ring finger.
00:27:13I couldn't make out
00:27:15the expression
00:27:15on his face at all.
00:27:17Time crawled by.
00:27:19Every second felt
00:27:21as long as an entire century.
00:27:22I could even hear
00:27:24the frantic pounding
00:27:24of my own heart.
00:27:26Thump.
00:27:27Thump.
00:27:28It beat faster
00:27:29and faster.
00:27:31If the ritual failed,
00:27:32not only would I,
00:27:34but Dr. Reed
00:27:35would die as well.
00:27:37My real children
00:27:39would inevitably be found.
00:27:40There was no escaping
00:27:42the Alpha King's pursuit.
00:27:46I closed my eyes
00:27:47in despair,
00:27:48waiting for the final judgment.
00:27:51Suddenly,
00:27:52the High Priest spoke.
00:27:54It is complete.
00:27:57I didn't even dare
00:27:58open my eyes.
00:28:01But the furious roar
00:28:03I expected never came.
00:28:07Instead,
00:28:08I heard a soft chuckle
00:28:09beside my ear.
00:28:10The next moment,
00:28:12a familiar,
00:28:13warm embrace
00:28:14gently wrapped around me.
00:28:15I'm sorry.
00:28:17Adrian softly kissed my hair.
00:28:20This is my fault.
00:28:22I never should have doubted you.
00:28:24Once I've had some rest,
00:28:26you can punish me
00:28:27however you like.
00:28:28Was apologizing?
00:28:30I froze completely.
00:28:32What?
00:28:38I barely slept
00:28:39these past few days.
00:28:42Sweetheart,
00:28:43I'm going to catch up
00:28:44on some sleep.
00:28:45I'll leave the babies
00:28:46in your care for now.
00:28:47After speaking,
00:28:48he gently stroked
00:28:49both babies' foreheads.
00:28:51Then he turned
00:28:52and walked upstairs.
00:28:56I was left standing alone
00:28:57in the middle of the living room,
00:29:00holding two werewolf pups
00:29:02who weren't even ours.
00:29:06Only after I was certain
00:29:07he had truly gone
00:29:09did I finally lower my gaze
00:29:11to the silver baskin
00:29:12before the high priest.
00:29:17I stood there in utter shock.
00:29:21Inside the silver bane,
00:29:22Adrian's bloodline
00:29:24had completely merged
00:29:24with that of the two babies.
00:29:26The blood resonance
00:29:30had succeeded.
00:29:31How could this be possible?
00:29:34I could hardly believe my own eyes.
00:29:39Could it be?
00:29:42Had Adrian once been involved
00:29:43with that omega?
00:29:44But the moment that thought surfaced,
00:29:46I rejected it myself.
00:29:48Impossible.
00:29:49Ever since we met,
00:29:50we had been practically inseparable.
00:29:54Aside from this trip
00:29:55to search for the ancient serum,
00:29:57he had never had the opportunity.
00:29:59then
00:30:02had he tampered
00:30:03with the ritual beforehand?
00:30:07But if that were true,
00:30:09why would he acknowledge
00:30:10these two babies as his own?
00:30:13Could it be?
00:30:18He would rather raise
00:30:19another man's children
00:30:20for my sake?
00:30:21At that thought,
00:30:22a sharp ache
00:30:23welled up in my heart.
00:30:26If I had known
00:30:27he loved me this deeply,
00:30:28why would I have sent
00:30:29our real children away?
00:30:32The thought of Ethan and Emma
00:30:34brought fresh tears
00:30:35to my eyes.
00:30:37I hadn't seen them
00:30:38for an entire day.
00:30:40I miss them.
00:30:41I miss them so much
00:30:42I felt like I was losing my mind.
00:30:47Once I was certain
00:30:48Adrian had fallen asleep.
00:30:50I quietly slipped out
00:30:51of the manor
00:30:51and drove alone
00:30:52to my apartment.
00:30:56The moment I opened the door,
00:30:58my two babies
00:30:58were sleeping peacefully
00:30:59in their cradle.
00:31:00Their breathing was steady
00:31:02and their little cheeks
00:31:03were rosy.
00:31:05My heart softened instantly.
00:31:09I quietly sat beside them
00:31:11and gently held
00:31:11their tiny chubby hands.
00:31:17For a brief moment,
00:31:18an overwhelming impulse
00:31:19surged through me.
00:31:20Should I tell Adrian everything?
00:31:27I don't know.
00:31:27But then the rumors
00:31:28about his former fiancée day
00:31:29resurfaced in my mind.
00:31:31Along with the pack's
00:31:33merciless punishment
00:31:34for traitors,
00:31:36I didn't dare
00:31:37take that gamble.
00:31:40The stakes were simply
00:31:41too high.
00:31:42Suddenly,
00:31:42a familiar cedar scent
00:31:43slowly filled the room.
00:31:45My body instantly froze.
00:31:48It felt as though
00:31:49the blood in my veins
00:31:50had stopped flowing.
00:31:54Slowly,
00:31:54I turned around.
00:31:56Adrian stood silently
00:31:57in the doorway.
00:31:58He was still wearing
00:31:59his black coat,
00:32:00his expression
00:32:01just as gentle as ever.
00:32:04He slowly walked toward me
00:32:06and looked down
00:32:07at the two babies
00:32:08in the cradle.
00:32:11One hand gently brushed
00:32:13Emma's soft cheek.
00:32:15The other naturally
00:32:16came to rest
00:32:17on my shoulder.
00:32:19His touch remained
00:32:20as gentle as ever.
00:32:23Yet to me,
00:32:25it felt as heavy
00:32:26as a thousand pounds.
00:32:28He leaned closer,
00:32:29his warm breath
00:32:30brushing lightly
00:32:31against my ear.
00:32:35Evelyn,
00:32:36are these two children
00:32:38yours as well?
00:32:40My mind went
00:32:41completely blank.
00:32:44Adrian gently
00:32:45cupped my face,
00:32:46his long fingers
00:32:47lightly lifting my chin.
00:32:48His touch remained
00:32:50as tender as ever.
00:32:53But the gentler he was,
00:32:54the more terrified
00:32:55I became.
00:32:57You've truly surprised me.
00:33:00A quiet chuckle
00:33:01escaped his lips.
00:33:06Since when did my Luna
00:33:07learn to raise children
00:33:08behind my back?
00:33:13Tell me,
00:33:14who is their father?
00:33:16And when did
00:33:17the two of you meet?
00:33:19His voice was
00:33:20impossibly gentle.
00:33:21Yet every word
00:33:22sliced through my nerves
00:33:23like the sharpest blade.
00:33:26For a fleeting moment,
00:33:27I wished I could
00:33:27bite my tongue
00:33:28and end it all.
00:33:33Why?
00:33:34Why hadn't I realized
00:33:35it sooner?
00:33:40why did he have to catch me
00:33:42red-handed?
00:33:43Fear wrapped around my body
00:33:44like invisible chains.
00:33:46My entire body
00:33:47trembled uncontrollably,
00:33:48yet I still forced
00:33:49a sweet smile
00:33:50onto my face.
00:33:57Adrian,
00:33:58you've misunderstood.
00:33:59These aren't my children.
00:34:00A friend asked me
00:34:01to look after them
00:34:02for a few days.
00:34:03A friend?
00:34:05The smile
00:34:06at the corner
00:34:07of his tiff
00:34:07deepened.
00:34:08What kind of friend?
00:34:10Why have I never
00:34:11met this person?
00:34:12Why don't you
00:34:12introduce us?
00:34:17Just as I opened
00:34:18my mouth to answer,
00:34:19a familiar figure
00:34:20slowly stepped out
00:34:20from behind Adrian.
00:34:24Dr. Mason Reed.
00:34:25His head was lowered
00:34:26and he didn't dare
00:34:27meet my eyes.
00:34:31My heart
00:34:32plunged into despair.
00:34:37How could I have forgotten?
00:34:39A man capable
00:34:40of becoming
00:34:40the Blackwood Pack's
00:34:41personal physician
00:34:42would never truly
00:34:43betray the Alpha King.
00:34:47Sweetheart.
00:34:49His voice
00:34:50remained calm.
00:34:53Are you still
00:34:53planning to lie to me?
00:34:55My eyes
00:34:56immediately
00:34:57twin-turned horse.
00:35:00Adrian,
00:35:00please!
00:35:01Let me explain!
00:35:03Instinctively,
00:35:04I reached for his sleeve,
00:35:05but he gently
00:35:06stepped aside,
00:35:07walked straight
00:35:08to the cradle,
00:35:08and lifted
00:35:09one of the babies
00:35:10into his arms.
00:35:16My breathing
00:35:17stopped.
00:35:18No!
00:35:19But it was already
00:35:20too late.
00:35:21Adrian lowered
00:35:22his head,
00:35:22and one sharp canine
00:35:23lightly pierced
00:35:24the baby's tiny wrist.
00:35:27Then he cut open
00:35:28his own palm.
00:35:29Drops of blood
00:35:30slowly fell.
00:35:31He was performing
00:35:32the most ancient form
00:35:33of blood resonance.
00:35:35This time,
00:35:36there was no
00:35:36high priest,
00:35:37and no one
00:35:38who could falsify
00:35:39the outcome for me.
00:35:39I closed my eyes
00:35:41in despair.
00:35:42It's over.
00:35:43This time,
00:35:44it's truly over.
00:35:45One second.
00:35:47Two seconds.
00:35:48Three seconds.
00:35:50The silence
00:35:51in the room
00:35:51was terrifying.
00:35:53The furious outburst
00:35:54I expected
00:35:55never came.
00:35:57Instead,
00:35:58that familiar
00:35:59low chuckle
00:35:59reached my ears
00:36:00once again.
00:36:01I slowly
00:36:02opened my eyes.
00:36:04The scene
00:36:04before me
00:36:05made my mind
00:36:05go completely
00:36:06blank
00:36:06once again.
00:36:08The two drops
00:36:09of blood
00:36:10in his palm
00:36:10had actually
00:36:11merged together.
00:36:14There was
00:36:15no rejection
00:36:16whatsoever.
00:36:17No strange
00:36:18reaction appeared.
00:36:20It was as if
00:36:21they had always
00:36:22shared the same
00:36:23bloodline.
00:36:26A tenderness
00:36:27I had never seen
00:36:28before appeared
00:36:29on Adrian's face.
00:36:33He gently
00:36:34cradled the baby
00:36:35in his arms
00:36:36as though
00:36:36holding the most
00:36:37most precious
00:36:37treasure in the world.
00:36:41Adrian
00:36:42lowered his head
00:36:42and softly
00:36:43kissed the baby's
00:36:44forehead.
00:36:48I'm sorry.
00:36:50I frightened you
00:36:51just now.
00:36:52If you ever
00:36:53want to blame
00:36:53someone,
00:36:54blame Daddy.
00:36:55The two babies
00:36:55had been crying
00:36:56until their little
00:36:56faces turned
00:36:57bright red.
00:37:01yet under
00:37:02his gentle
00:37:02comfort
00:37:03they quickly
00:37:03stopped crying.
00:37:08They even
00:37:09reached out
00:37:09with their tiny
00:37:10hands
00:37:10and wrapped
00:37:11them around
00:37:11his finger.
00:37:12I stood there
00:37:13in complete shock
00:37:14unable to utter
00:37:15a single word.
00:37:16Then
00:37:17something
00:37:18unbelievable
00:37:18happened.
00:37:19The baby's
00:37:20pupils
00:37:21suddenly shimmered
00:37:22with a faint
00:37:23golden glow.
00:37:25A barely
00:37:26perceptible
00:37:27werewolf
00:37:27pheromone
00:37:28slowly spread
00:37:29through the air.
00:37:30Their soft
00:37:31little hands
00:37:32gradually sprouted
00:37:33tiny claws
00:37:34like those
00:37:34of wolf pups.
00:37:36Their ears
00:37:37slowly transformed
00:37:38into fluffy
00:37:39wolf ears.
00:37:43The entire
00:37:44transformation
00:37:45lasted only
00:37:46a few seconds.
00:37:49Then they
00:37:50returned to
00:37:50the appearance
00:37:50of ordinary
00:37:51human infants.
00:37:54as though
00:37:55everything
00:37:55that had
00:37:56just
00:37:56happened
00:37:56had been
00:37:56nothing
00:37:57more
00:37:57than
00:37:57an
00:37:57illusion.
00:37:59I stumbled
00:37:59backward
00:38:00two steps
00:38:01nearly
00:38:01collapsing
00:38:02onto the
00:38:02floor.
00:38:03This
00:38:03what was
00:38:05happening?
00:38:05Weren't
00:38:06they supposed
00:38:06to be
00:38:07ordinary
00:38:07human babies?
00:38:08Why had
00:38:09they transformed
00:38:10into wolves?
00:38:11Countless
00:38:12details
00:38:13suddenly
00:38:13flashed
00:38:14through my
00:38:14mind.
00:38:15They had
00:38:15been unusually
00:38:16quiet ever
00:38:16since they
00:38:17were born.
00:38:18They developed
00:38:19much faster
00:38:20than ordinary
00:38:20babies.
00:38:22they rarely
00:38:23cried or
00:38:23fussed.
00:38:24Their sense
00:38:25of smell
00:38:25also seemed
00:38:26far hemer
00:38:26than that
00:38:27of normal
00:38:27children.
00:38:28Could it
00:38:29be?
00:38:30A thought
00:38:30I could
00:38:31scarcely
00:38:31believe
00:38:32slowly
00:38:32formed
00:38:33in my
00:38:33mind.
00:38:35Adrian
00:38:35slowly
00:38:36raised
00:38:36his head,
00:38:37his icy
00:38:37blue eyes
00:38:38quietly fixed
00:38:39on me.
00:38:39There was
00:38:40neither
00:38:40blame nor
00:38:41anger
00:38:41in his
00:38:41gaze,
00:38:42only a
00:38:43trace
00:38:43of
00:38:43helplessness.
00:38:45Evelyn.
00:38:46He let
00:38:46out a
00:38:47soft sigh.
00:38:48Did you
00:38:48truly not
00:38:49know?
00:38:49I stared
00:38:50at him
00:38:50blankly,
00:38:51completely
00:38:51incapable
00:38:52of thinking.
00:38:53He gently
00:38:53placed the
00:38:54babies back
00:38:54into their
00:38:55cradle,
00:38:55then he
00:38:56slowly walked
00:38:56toward me.
00:38:57Stopping
00:38:58before me,
00:38:59he gently
00:38:59took both
00:39:00of my
00:39:00hands,
00:39:01his voice
00:39:01low and
00:39:02tender.
00:39:03We've been
00:39:03married for
00:39:04so long,
00:39:05and yet you've
00:39:06never realized
00:39:06that I'm not
00:39:07a pure blood
00:39:08alpha.
00:39:09I snapped
00:39:10my head
00:39:11up.
00:39:11What?
00:39:13A faint
00:39:13smile touched
00:39:14his lips.
00:39:15My father
00:39:15was the
00:39:16wolf king,
00:39:17but my
00:39:18mother was a
00:39:18human with
00:39:19an extraordinary
00:39:20bloodline.
00:39:21I've always
00:39:22been a
00:39:22half werewolf.
00:39:23I was
00:39:23completely
00:39:24stunned.
00:39:24A
00:39:25half
00:39:25werewolf?
00:39:26Had
00:39:27actually
00:39:27become the
00:39:28alpha king
00:39:28of the
00:39:29entire
00:39:29Blackwood
00:39:29pack?
00:39:30But what
00:39:31shocked me
00:39:31even more
00:39:32was what
00:39:32he said
00:39:32next.
00:39:33Adrian
00:39:34continued,
00:39:35The
00:39:35werewolf
00:39:35blood within
00:39:36me isn't
00:39:36inherited
00:39:37directly,
00:39:38and your
00:39:38bloodline is
00:39:39far more
00:39:39extraordinary
00:39:40than that
00:39:41of an
00:39:41ordinary
00:39:41human.
00:39:43That's
00:39:43why our
00:39:44children weren't
00:39:45born with
00:39:45any visible
00:39:46werewolf traits.
00:39:47They wouldn't
00:39:48release a
00:39:49wolf era.
00:39:50They wouldn't
00:39:50have wolf ears,
00:39:51nor would they
00:39:52awaken at
00:39:53birth.
00:39:53To everyone
00:39:54else, they
00:39:55look exactly
00:39:56like ordinary
00:39:56human babies.
00:39:57I stared
00:39:58blankly at
00:39:58Ethan Blackwood
00:39:59and Emma
00:39:59Blackwood
00:40:00sleeping in
00:40:00the cradle.
00:40:01They had
00:40:01been our
00:40:01children all
00:40:02along.
00:40:03Adrian
00:40:03looked at
00:40:03the twins,
00:40:04his eyes
00:40:05filled with
00:40:05pride.
00:40:06The
00:40:06strongest
00:40:06werewolves
00:40:08are never
00:40:09the ones who
00:40:09reveal their
00:40:10power from
00:40:10the moment
00:40:11they're born.
00:40:12They are
00:40:13the ones
00:40:13capable of
00:40:15perfectly
00:40:15concealing
00:40:16their bloodline.
00:40:17They will
00:40:17complete their
00:40:18true wolf
00:40:19shift on
00:40:19their first
00:40:19full moon.
00:40:20When that
00:40:21day comes,
00:40:22the entire
00:40:22werewolf world
00:40:23will know
00:40:24that the
00:40:24Blackwood
00:40:25Pack has
00:40:25welcomed
00:40:26its strongest
00:40:26heirs.
00:40:27When he
00:40:28finished speaking,
00:40:29he turned
00:40:29back to me,
00:40:30his ice blue
00:40:31eyes overflowing
00:40:31with tenderness
00:40:32and love.
00:40:34Thank you,
00:40:35Evelyn.
00:40:36You've brought
00:40:36new hope to
00:40:37the entire
00:40:38werewolf race.
00:40:39It took me
00:40:40an entire night
00:40:40to barely come
00:40:41to terms with
00:40:41this unbelievable
00:40:42truth.
00:40:43Until then,
00:40:44all I had
00:40:44known was that
00:40:45werewolves and
00:40:46humans were
00:40:46sworn enemies.
00:40:47Those who fell
00:40:48in love across
00:40:49the two races
00:40:49had no choice
00:40:50but to hide
00:40:51who they truly
00:40:51were.
00:40:52Even their
00:40:53children were
00:40:53never fully
00:40:54accepted by
00:40:54the Pack.
00:40:55What I didn't
00:40:56know was that
00:40:57pure blood had
00:40:58never been what
00:40:58determined the
00:40:59future of
00:40:59werewolves.
00:41:00It was the
00:41:01fusion of
00:41:01bloodlines.
00:41:02Sitting on the
00:41:03terrace and
00:41:04watching the
00:41:04sunrise creep
00:41:05over the
00:41:05horizon,
00:41:07Adrian spoke
00:41:07softly.
00:41:08Do you know
00:41:08why the Packs
00:41:09have grown weaker
00:41:09over the years?
00:41:10because everyone
00:41:11has become
00:41:11obsessed with
00:41:12so-called pure
00:41:12bloodlines.
00:41:13But true strength
00:41:14has never come
00:41:14from isolation,
00:41:15it comes from
00:41:16unity.
00:41:16He turned to
00:41:17look at me.
00:41:18When a human
00:41:18with an
00:41:19extraordinary
00:41:19bloodline has
00:41:21children with
00:41:21a top alpha,
00:41:23their offspring
00:41:23possess the
00:41:24greatest potential
00:41:25of all.
00:41:25They can live
00:41:26freely among
00:41:26humans without
00:41:27relying on wolf
00:41:28aura to conceal
00:41:28themselves, nor
00:41:29can they be easily
00:41:30detected by werewolf
00:41:31hunters.
00:41:32They are the
00:41:33true future of
00:41:34our race.
00:41:34At last, I
00:41:35understood why
00:41:36our children had
00:41:37shown no werewolf
00:41:37treats at birth.
00:41:38I also understood
00:41:39why they blended
00:41:40so naturally
00:41:41into the human
00:41:42world.
00:41:43Wait.
00:41:43I sat there in
00:41:44silence before
00:41:45suddenly recalling
00:41:46the day I gave
00:41:47birth.
00:41:47I suddenly looked
00:41:49up.
00:41:51So you knew
00:41:52all along that
00:41:52the babies have
00:41:53a wolf aura?
00:41:54Then why did you
00:41:55just stand by and
00:41:56watch me scare
00:41:56myself half to
00:41:57death?
00:41:58Thinking about
00:41:59how terrified I
00:42:00had been over
00:42:00the past few
00:42:01days, secretly
00:42:03abandoning my
00:42:04babies, then
00:42:06secretly swapping
00:42:07them, and
00:42:08living in constant
00:42:09fear of being
00:42:09exposed every
00:42:10single day?
00:42:11The more I
00:42:12thought about it,
00:42:13the angrier I
00:42:13became.
00:42:14I lunged forward
00:42:15and bit his
00:42:15shoulder as hard
00:42:16as I could.
00:42:17Adrian didn't
00:42:17dodge.
00:42:18He simply let me
00:42:19vent my
00:42:19frustration.
00:42:21Only after I
00:42:22finally let go,
00:42:24did he gently
00:42:24brush the loose
00:42:25strands of hair
00:42:26away from my
00:42:27face.
00:42:27I'm sorry.
00:42:28I knew you'd be
00:42:29angry.
00:42:29But I'm the
00:42:30alpha king of the
00:42:31blackwood pack.
00:42:31I had to make
00:42:32sure that my
00:42:33future Luma was
00:42:34truly capable of
00:42:35protecting the pack
00:42:36alongside me.
00:42:37I froze.
00:42:38During those days I
00:42:39was watching you.
00:42:40I wanted to see
00:42:41whether you'd run
00:42:42away when danger
00:42:43came, whether you'd
00:42:44abandon the children
00:42:45to save yourself,
00:42:46whether fear would
00:42:47make you betray
00:42:47someone else.
00:42:48And in the end,
00:42:49he let out a
00:42:50quiet laugh.
00:42:51You were even
00:42:52braver than I'd
00:42:52imagined.
00:42:53You chose to
00:42:54shoulder every
00:42:55risk by yourself
00:42:56without harming a
00:42:57single innocent
00:42:58person.
00:42:59Even when you
00:43:00switched the
00:43:00werewolf twins,
00:43:01you still left
00:43:02their mother
00:43:02enough money
00:43:03to start a
00:43:03new life.
00:43:06Evelyn, having
00:43:07a Luna like
00:43:07you is something
00:43:09I'm deeply
00:43:09proud of.
00:43:10A sharp sting
00:43:11filled my nose.
00:43:12So he, he had
00:43:13known everything
00:43:14all along.
00:43:15Then another
00:43:15question suddenly
00:43:16crossed my mind.
00:43:17But during the
00:43:18blood restination
00:43:19ritual on the
00:43:19full moon night,
00:43:20those babies
00:43:21weren't ours at
00:43:22all.
00:43:23So why did the
00:43:24ritual still succeed?
00:43:25Adrian smiled
00:43:26softly.
00:43:27Because I remiled
00:43:28softly.
00:43:29Because I made a
00:43:30few adjustments.
00:43:31My eyes widened
00:43:32instantly.
00:43:34I knew it was
00:43:35you!
00:43:36He nodded
00:43:37helplessly.
00:43:38By the time I
00:43:39found out after
00:43:40returning, it was
00:43:40already too late to
00:43:41stop you.
00:43:43After I left the
00:43:44manor, Dr. Reed
00:43:45couldn't reach me.
00:43:46So I had no idea
00:43:48that you'd actually
00:43:49switch the babies.
00:43:50But the ritual still
00:43:51had to take place.
00:43:52Otherwise, the
00:43:53Elder Council would
00:43:54have become suspicious.
00:43:56So you deliberately
00:43:57made the ritual
00:43:57succeed?
00:43:58He answered without
00:43:59the slightest
00:44:00hesitation.
00:44:01Hmm.
00:44:02I wanted every
00:44:04werewolf to know
00:44:04this.
00:44:05As long as the
00:44:06children were brought
00:44:07home by you,
00:44:08Evelyn, they would
00:44:09be recognized as
00:44:10heirs of the
00:44:11Blackwood Pack.
00:44:12Even if someone
00:44:13else's blood flowed
00:44:14through their wanes.
00:44:28And as
00:44:35I'd always believed
00:44:36that if the truth
00:44:37came out, the
00:44:38cruelest judgment
00:44:38imaginable would be
00:44:39waiting for me.
00:44:40But instead, he had
00:44:42chosen to bear the
00:44:43suspicion of the
00:44:43entire pack in my
00:44:44place.
00:44:49I always thought
00:44:51I'd end up just
00:44:52like Sophia.
00:44:53Sophia had been
00:44:54Adrian's former
00:44:55fiance.
00:44:57The moment he
00:44:58heard her name,
00:44:59Adrian froze
00:44:59unfids briefly
00:45:00before flicking
00:45:01my head with
00:45:01a helpless
00:45:02smile.
00:45:04So all these
00:45:05years,
00:45:07can this
00:45:07is the
00:45:07Laman.
00:45:08This is what
00:45:09you've been
00:45:09worrying about.
00:45:12I nodded
00:45:13pitifully.
00:45:14Everyone said
00:45:17she fell in love
00:45:18with a human
00:45:18and you executed
00:45:20her yourself.
00:45:24Adrian let out
00:45:25a soft sigh
00:45:26and pulled me
00:45:26back into his
00:45:27arms.
00:45:28No.
00:45:29That was
00:45:30never the
00:45:30truth.
00:45:31His voice
00:45:32was low
00:45:32and calm.
00:45:34Sophia wasn't
00:45:35punished because
00:45:36she loved a
00:45:36human.
00:45:38She willingly
00:45:39helped the
00:45:39werewolf hunters
00:45:40by revealing
00:45:41the location
00:45:41of our
00:45:42pack's
00:45:42territory.
00:45:43That night,
00:45:44hundreds of
00:45:45our people
00:45:45died from
00:45:46silver bullets.
00:45:47Many of them
00:45:48were newborn
00:45:48pups.
00:45:49if I hadn't
00:45:50enforced the
00:45:50pack's laws,
00:45:51no one would
00:45:52have continued
00:45:53to trust me
00:45:53as their
00:45:54alpha king.
00:45:55So,
00:45:57I had
00:45:57misunderstood
00:45:58him all
00:45:58along.
00:46:01Adrian gently
00:46:02kissed my
00:46:02forehead,
00:46:03smiling with
00:46:04quiet resignation.
00:46:06It seems
00:46:06that in my
00:46:07own wife's
00:46:07eyes,
00:46:08my reputation
00:46:09is truly
00:46:09terrible.
00:46:11I'll have
00:46:11to spend
00:46:12the rest
00:46:12of my life
00:46:12making up
00:46:13for that.
00:46:19As soon
00:46:20as he
00:46:20finished
00:46:21speaking,
00:46:21before I
00:46:22could react,
00:46:24he swept
00:46:24me into
00:46:25his arms.
00:46:27He didn't
00:46:27hold back
00:46:28like a
00:46:28human.
00:46:29Instead,
00:46:30with the
00:46:30savagery of
00:46:31an alpha
00:46:32king,
00:46:32his large,
00:46:33rough hands
00:46:34directly cupped
00:46:35my bottom,
00:46:36kneading the
00:46:37soft flesh
00:46:37unapologously.
00:46:41He pressed
00:46:42me tightly
00:46:43against his
00:46:43scorching chest
00:46:44and against the
00:46:45terrifying,
00:46:46fully awakened
00:46:47hardness that
00:46:47burned even
00:46:48through the
00:46:48fabric of
00:46:49his clothes.
00:46:52I gasped
00:46:53and instinctively
00:46:53wrapped my
00:46:54arms around
00:46:54his neck,
00:46:55feeling the
00:46:55massive threat
00:46:56pressing against
00:46:57my inner
00:46:57thighs.
00:46:57My voice
00:46:58trembled
00:46:58involuntarily
00:46:59and a
00:47:00hidden,
00:47:00wet heat
00:47:01quietly rushed
00:47:02between my
00:47:03legs.
00:47:04Adrian.
00:47:07He looked
00:47:07down at me,
00:47:08the reliant
00:47:09smile in his
00:47:09eyes already
00:47:10replaced by a
00:47:11fiercely
00:47:11aggressive,
00:47:12dark desire.
00:47:13He lowered
00:47:13his head,
00:47:14his scorching
00:47:15nose barely
00:47:15brushing my
00:47:16corodial artery
00:47:17as he greedily
00:47:18almost
00:47:18obsessively
00:47:19inhaled my
00:47:19scent.
00:47:21Now that
00:47:22all the
00:47:22misunderstandings
00:47:23have been
00:47:23cleared up,
00:47:24isn't it my
00:47:25turn to make
00:47:25it up to
00:47:26my wife?
00:47:27My face
00:47:27flushed
00:47:28bright red.
00:47:28Who said
00:47:29you had
00:47:29to make
00:47:29it up
00:47:29to me?
00:47:30His smile
00:47:31only widened,
00:47:32the fingers
00:47:33cupping my
00:47:33bottom tensingly
00:47:34scraping upward
00:47:35against my
00:47:35sensitive edges
00:47:36as he carried
00:47:36me straight
00:47:37toward the
00:47:37master bedroom
00:47:38upstairs.
00:47:40Don't worry,
00:47:41starting tonight
00:47:41I'll spend
00:47:42the rest of
00:47:42my life proving
00:47:43just how much
00:47:44I love you.
00:47:44I'm going
00:47:45to keep you
00:47:46locked in
00:47:46my bed,
00:47:47filling you
00:47:48inside and
00:47:48out with
00:47:49my heat
00:47:50and my
00:47:50scent
00:47:54until you
00:47:54have absolutely
00:47:55no energy
00:47:56left to think
00:47:57about anyone
00:47:57else.
00:47:59From that
00:48:00day on,
00:48:02Adrian
00:48:02cherished me
00:48:03even more
00:48:03than before.
00:48:08Or rather,
00:48:09he finally
00:48:10stopped keeping
00:48:11the secrets of
00:48:12the werewolf
00:48:12world from me.
00:48:13We had always
00:48:14lived among
00:48:14humans.
00:48:15Even though I
00:48:16knew he was
00:48:16the alpha king
00:48:17of the Blackwood
00:48:18pack,
00:48:18I had never
00:48:19truly stepped
00:48:20into the heart
00:48:20of the pack.
00:48:22Now,
00:48:23he opened
00:48:23the entire
00:48:24pack to me
00:48:24without reservation.
00:48:26Only then
00:48:27did I realize
00:48:28that the
00:48:29business titan
00:48:30admired by
00:48:30humans,
00:48:32the alpha
00:48:32king feared
00:48:33throughout the
00:48:34werewolf world,
00:48:35had endured
00:48:36a childhood
00:48:37just as lonely
00:48:38as mine.
00:48:44His father
00:48:45had been
00:48:45the previous
00:48:46wolf king.
00:48:48His mother,
00:48:50however,
00:48:51had been
00:48:51a human
00:48:51woman.
00:48:53From the
00:48:53day he was
00:48:54born,
00:48:55people had
00:48:55questioned
00:48:56the purity
00:48:56of his
00:48:57bloodline.
00:48:59Some claimed
00:49:00that a hybrid
00:49:01had no right
00:49:01to become
00:49:02an alpha,
00:49:03let alone
00:49:04lead an
00:49:04entire pack.
00:49:10To secure
00:49:11his place
00:49:12as alpha
00:49:13king,
00:49:14Adrian had
00:49:15survived
00:49:15countless
00:49:16life and
00:49:16death battles.
00:49:19He personally
00:49:20defeated
00:49:20every challenger.
00:49:22Only then
00:49:23did he earn
00:49:24everything he
00:49:25possessed today.
00:49:31That was why
00:49:32the entire pack
00:49:32regarded him
00:49:33as the coldest
00:49:34alpha.
00:49:38But only I knew
00:49:42that once he
00:49:43returned home,
00:49:48he would bury
00:49:49his face
00:49:49against my
00:49:50shoulder,
00:49:51nuzzling me
00:49:52like a
00:49:52great wolf
00:49:53who had
00:49:53finally
00:49:54lowered
00:49:54his guard.
00:49:59One day,
00:50:00I couldn't
00:50:01help asking
00:50:02him.
00:50:09Why did
00:50:10you choose
00:50:10me?
00:50:11He remained
00:50:12silent for a
00:50:13long time.
00:50:15Finally,
00:50:15he simply
00:50:16took my
00:50:16hand in
00:50:17his.
00:50:17His voice
00:50:18was so soft
00:50:19it was
00:50:19almost a
00:50:20whisper.
00:50:21Evelyn,
00:50:21before I
00:50:22met you
00:50:22I always
00:50:22believed I
00:50:23was nothing
00:50:23more than
00:50:24an alpha
00:50:24who happened
00:50:25to be
00:50:25alive.
00:50:25It wasn't
00:50:26until I
00:50:26met you
00:50:27that I
00:50:28realized I
00:50:29could live
00:50:29like an
00:50:29ordinary
00:50:30man too.
00:50:31My heart
00:50:32melted
00:50:32instantly.
00:50:34I wrapped
00:50:35my arms
00:50:35around him.
00:50:37As for the
00:50:37werewolf twins
00:50:38I had taken
00:50:39home,
00:50:39Adrian
00:50:40personally
00:50:40returned
00:50:40them to
00:50:41their
00:50:41mother.
00:50:48more than
00:50:49that,
00:50:49he gifted
00:50:50the young
00:50:50omega a
00:50:51detached
00:50:51villa in
00:50:52the city
00:50:52center.
00:50:53He also
00:50:53established a
00:50:54trust fund
00:50:55large enough
00:50:55to support
00:50:56her and
00:50:56her children
00:50:57for the
00:50:57rest of
00:50:57their lives.
00:50:59At the
00:50:59same time,
00:51:00he ordered
00:51:01his men to
00:51:01track down
00:51:02the alpha
00:51:02who had
00:51:03abandoned
00:51:03them.
00:51:05The alpha
00:51:06was publicly
00:51:07tried according
00:51:07to PAC law.
00:51:09Afterward,
00:51:10formally amended
00:51:11the PAC code
00:51:12during a
00:51:12meeting of
00:51:13the PAC
00:51:13council.
00:51:14No alpha
00:51:15would ever
00:51:16again be
00:51:17allowed to
00:51:17abandon
00:51:18their mate
00:51:18or children.
00:51:19Anyone who
00:51:20violated the
00:51:20law would
00:51:21lose all
00:51:21status and
00:51:22rank and
00:51:23could even
00:51:23be permanently
00:51:24exiled from
00:51:25PAC territory.
00:51:28Standing at
00:51:29the center of
00:51:29the council
00:51:30chamber,
00:51:30his voice rang
00:51:31out deep
00:51:32and resolute.
00:51:34If
00:51:34werewolves
00:51:35truly wish
00:51:36to become
00:51:36part of
00:51:37this world,
00:51:38we must
00:51:39be more
00:51:39trustworthy
00:51:40than
00:51:40humans.
00:51:42More
00:51:42responsible
00:51:44and more
00:51:45disciplined.
00:51:46The young
00:51:47Omega held
00:51:48her babies
00:51:48tightly as
00:51:49she thanked
00:51:49me over
00:51:50and over
00:51:50again.
00:51:55At that
00:51:55moment,
00:51:56the last
00:51:57trick of
00:51:57guilt in
00:51:57my heart
00:51:58finally
00:51:58disappeared.
00:52:00To care
00:52:01for Ethan
00:52:01and Emma
00:52:02himself,
00:52:03Adrian even
00:52:04dismissed
00:52:05every nanny
00:52:06and versary
00:52:06murder at
00:52:07the manor.
00:52:08Blackwood
00:52:09Manor
00:52:09suddenly
00:52:10became
00:52:10much
00:52:11quieter.
00:52:12Only
00:52:13our family
00:52:13of four
00:52:14remained,
00:52:15along with
00:52:16the guards
00:52:16who occasionally
00:52:17patrolled
00:52:17the estate.
00:52:24As it
00:52:24turned out,
00:52:25being the
00:52:26alpha king
00:52:26who governed
00:52:27an entire
00:52:27pack,
00:52:30didn't mean
00:52:31he knew
00:52:31the first
00:52:31thing about
00:52:32caring for
00:52:33babies.
00:52:34On the
00:52:35very first
00:52:36day,
00:52:36the manor
00:52:37descended
00:52:37into complete
00:52:38chaos.
00:52:42Evelyn!
00:52:44Why won't
00:52:45they eat?
00:52:45I hurried
00:52:47into the
00:52:47nursery.
00:52:48There stood
00:52:49Adrian,
00:52:49holding a rare
00:52:51steak with
00:52:51complete
00:52:52seriousness.
00:52:53He was
00:52:54about to
00:52:54feed it
00:52:54to our
00:52:55babies,
00:52:56who were
00:52:56only a few
00:52:57months old.
00:52:58I was
00:52:59utterly
00:52:59speechless.
00:53:00Adrian,
00:53:02they're
00:53:02still
00:53:02babies,
00:53:03not wolf
00:53:03pups!
00:53:04He looked
00:53:05genuinely
00:53:05confused.
00:53:07But every
00:53:08wolf pup
00:53:08grows up
00:53:09this way.
00:53:09They're
00:53:10destined to
00:53:10become the
00:53:11future
00:53:11alphas of
00:53:11the pack.
00:53:12They can't
00:53:13possibly live
00:53:14on milk
00:53:14forever,
00:53:15can they?
00:53:16I couldn't
00:53:17decide whether
00:53:17to laugh
00:53:18or cry.
00:53:19After
00:53:20quite a
00:53:20struggle,
00:53:21I finally
00:53:21snatched the
00:53:22steak away
00:53:22from him.
00:53:25Then I
00:53:26prepared fresh
00:53:27bottles of
00:53:27formula.
00:53:29The twins
00:53:30immediately
00:53:30wrapped their
00:53:31tiny hands
00:53:31around the
00:53:31bottles and
00:53:32drank happily.
00:53:33Standing beside
00:53:34them,
00:53:35Adrian frowned
00:53:36more deeply
00:53:36with every
00:53:37passing second.
00:53:38How is this
00:53:39possible?
00:53:39Aren't they
00:53:40supposed to
00:53:40have the
00:53:40strongest
00:53:41bloodline?
00:53:41How are
00:53:42they supposed
00:53:42to lead
00:53:42the pack
00:53:42like this?
00:53:49I couldn't
00:53:50help laughing.
00:53:51I gently
00:53:52patted his
00:53:52shoulder.
00:53:53Because they're
00:53:54still babies.
00:53:55Just give them
00:53:56a little more
00:53:56time.
00:54:02He immediately
00:54:03nodded.
00:54:04His ice
00:54:05blue eyes
00:54:06as he
00:54:06looked at
00:54:06me.
00:54:07My wife
00:54:08is right.
00:54:09My wife
00:54:09always knows
00:54:10best.
00:54:12Feeling
00:54:13slightly
00:54:13guilty,
00:54:14I looked
00:54:15away.
00:54:17The truth
00:54:18was,
00:54:20Mary had
00:54:21actually been
00:54:22the one who
00:54:22had taken
00:54:23care of the
00:54:23babies the
00:54:24The very
00:54:25next day,
00:54:25Mary returned
00:54:26to the
00:54:26manor.
00:54:28I deliberately
00:54:29teased him.
00:54:31Didn't you
00:54:31say you
00:54:32didn't want
00:54:33anyone disturbing
00:54:33our family?
00:54:35Adrian answered
00:54:36with a perfectly
00:54:36straight face.
00:54:38Professional work
00:54:38should be left
00:54:39to professionals.
00:54:40I'm good at
00:54:41managing the
00:54:41pack, but
00:54:42raising babies?
00:54:46I'll admit
00:54:48that's not
00:54:49exactly my
00:54:49specialty.
00:54:49This time, I
00:54:50burst into
00:54:51laughter.
00:54:52Ethan and
00:54:52Emma grew
00:54:53at an
00:54:53astonishing
00:54:54pace.
00:54:55By the
00:54:56time they
00:54:56were nine
00:54:56months old,
00:54:57they could
00:54:58already stand
00:54:59steadily on
00:54:59their own.
00:55:00Before their
00:55:01first birthday,
00:55:02they were
00:55:03already
00:55:03trottling
00:55:04around the
00:55:04house.
00:55:05By the
00:55:05age of
00:55:06one and
00:55:06a half,
00:55:07they were
00:55:07speaking in
00:55:08complete
00:55:08sentences.
00:55:10Most
00:55:11surprising of
00:55:11all, they
00:55:12began displaying
00:55:13the true
00:55:13gifts of
00:55:14werewolves.
00:55:15Their sense
00:55:16of smell far
00:55:17surpassed that
00:55:18of ordinary
00:55:18children, their
00:55:19hearing was
00:55:20exceptionally
00:55:20sharp as
00:55:21well.
00:55:22Even from
00:55:23the opposite
00:55:23side of the
00:55:24manor, they
00:55:25could instantly
00:55:26recognize
00:55:26Adrian's
00:55:27footsteps and
00:55:28mine.
00:55:30However, as
00:55:31they continued
00:55:32to grow, their
00:55:33first true
00:55:33werewolf trial
00:55:34finally arrived.
00:55:36Their first
00:55:37wolf shift.
00:55:39It was the
00:55:39awakening every
00:55:40werewolf had
00:55:41to experience.
00:55:42That day,
00:55:43Blackwood
00:55:44Manor was
00:55:44placed on the
00:55:45highest level
00:55:46of alert.
00:55:46According to
00:55:47werewolf
00:55:47tradition,
00:55:48the first
00:55:49transformation
00:55:49had to be
00:55:50completed alone.
00:55:52No one was
00:55:53permitted to
00:55:53stay by their
00:55:54side.
00:55:56Ethan and
00:55:57Emma each
00:55:57entered a
00:55:58room that
00:55:58had been
00:55:59specially
00:55:59prepared for
00:56:00them.
00:56:00The heavy
00:56:00iron doors
00:56:01slowly closed
00:56:02behind them.
00:56:02The entire
00:56:03mansion fell
00:56:03into a
00:56:04deathly silence.
00:56:05I stood
00:56:05outside, pacing
00:56:06anxiously back
00:56:07and forth.
00:56:07Many
00:56:08werewolves
00:56:08never survived
00:56:09their first
00:56:09wolf shift.
00:56:10And on top
00:56:11of that, my
00:56:12children possessed
00:56:12an unprecedented
00:56:13bloodline.
00:56:14The more I
00:56:15thought about
00:56:15it, the more
00:56:16frightened I
00:56:16became.
00:56:18at one
00:56:18point, I
00:56:19even wanted
00:56:19to rush
00:56:19inside, but
00:56:21Adrian gently
00:56:21stopped me.
00:56:25He squeezed
00:56:25my hand and
00:56:26spoke softly.
00:56:28Evelyn, one
00:56:28day they'll be
00:56:28responsible for
00:56:29protecting the
00:56:30entire pack.
00:56:31This is a path
00:56:31they have to walk
00:56:32on their own.
00:56:32room.
00:56:34I bit down on
00:56:34my lip.
00:56:36Tears streamed
00:56:37uncontrollably
00:56:38down my
00:56:38cheeks.
00:56:40Time
00:56:40crawled by,
00:56:41an entire
00:56:42night passed.
00:56:44Not a single
00:56:45sound came from
00:56:46either room.
00:56:47It wasn't until
00:56:48dawn the
00:56:49following morning
00:56:50that a gentle
00:56:50knock finally
00:56:51came from
00:56:52inside.
00:56:53My heart
00:56:53leaped into
00:56:54my throat.
00:56:55I rushed
00:56:55forward and
00:56:56threw the
00:56:56door open.
00:56:59Inside the
00:57:00room, the
00:57:01twins were
00:57:01sitting weakly
00:57:02on the carpet.
00:57:03Their foreheads
00:57:04were covered
00:57:04in sweat.
00:57:05Yet both of
00:57:06them smiled
00:57:07the moment
00:57:07they saw me.
00:57:09Ethan was
00:57:09the first to
00:57:10stand.
00:57:11Although his
00:57:12face was pale,
00:57:13his eyes had
00:57:14never looked
00:57:14more determined.
00:57:16Mom, we
00:57:18did it.
00:57:19The next
00:57:19second, their
00:57:20eyes turned
00:57:21into brilliant
00:57:21shades of gold.
00:57:22A pair of
00:57:23snow-white wolf
00:57:24ears slowly
00:57:24emerged through
00:57:25their hair.
00:57:26The purest and
00:57:26most powerful
00:57:27alpha era of
00:57:28the Blackwood
00:57:28bloodline burst
00:57:29forth for the
00:57:30very first time.
00:57:31It truly
00:57:31descended upon
00:57:32the world.
00:57:33Ever since
00:57:33they successfully
00:57:34completed their
00:57:34first wolf shift,
00:57:36the way the
00:57:36entire Blackwood
00:57:37pack looked at
00:57:37Ethan and
00:57:38Emma changed
00:57:38completely.
00:57:39Adrian no
00:57:40longer treated
00:57:41them as
00:57:41ordinary children.
00:57:42Instead, he
00:57:43personally began
00:57:44teaching them how
00:57:45to become true
00:57:45leaders of
00:57:46werewolves.
00:57:46Every morning, he
00:57:48took the twins
00:57:49deep into the
00:57:49pack's territory.
00:57:50He taught them
00:57:51how to recognize
00:57:52the alpha scent
00:57:53that marked the
00:57:53pack's borders.
00:57:54He taught them
00:57:55how to identify
00:57:56another werewolf's
00:57:57rank at a glance.
00:57:58He taught them
00:57:59how to control
00:57:59their pheromones.
00:58:00He taught them
00:58:01how to conceal
00:58:01their identities
00:58:02in the human
00:58:03world, and he
00:58:04taught them how
00:58:04to remain rational
00:58:05beneath the full
00:58:06moon.
00:58:07When they returned
00:58:08to the city, they
00:58:09were just like any
00:58:09other children.
00:58:11They attended
00:58:11school and learned
00:58:12the rules of
00:58:13human society.
00:58:14Their teachers
00:58:15adored them.
00:58:16Because their
00:58:17identities had
00:58:18never been exposed
00:58:19at birth, they
00:58:20never had to
00:58:20deliberately hide
00:58:21who they were.
00:58:23To humans, they
00:58:24were simply two
00:58:25bright and beautiful
00:58:27children.
00:58:27Their neighbors
00:58:28adored them.
00:58:29Their friends
00:58:30loved them, too.
00:58:31They grew up
00:58:32in the human
00:58:33world, while
00:58:34constantly learning
00:58:35within the
00:58:36werewolf world.
00:58:37Their growth
00:58:38far exated
00:58:39everyone's
00:58:39expectations.
00:58:41High-ranking
00:58:42alphas and the
00:58:43leaders of every
00:58:43hunting unit stood
00:58:44beneath the
00:58:45moonlight, dressed
00:58:46in the ceremonial
00:58:47black atari that
00:58:48symbolized the
00:58:49alpha king's
00:58:49authority.
00:58:50Adrian slowly
00:58:51walked up to
00:58:52the twins.
00:58:52High-ranking
00:58:53alphas and the
00:58:53leaders of every
00:58:54hunting unit stood
00:58:55beneath the
00:58:55moonlight, dressed
00:58:57in the ceremonial
00:58:58blackatari that
00:58:59symbolized the
00:58:59alpha king's
00:59:00authority.
00:59:01Adrian slowly
00:59:02walked up to
00:59:02the twins.
00:59:03For the first
00:59:04time, his
00:59:04expression was
00:59:05solemn beyond
00:59:05measure.
00:59:06Ethan Blackwood,
00:59:07Emma Blackwood,
00:59:08starting today, I
00:59:10will officially
00:59:10introduce you to
00:59:11the entire
00:59:11Blackwood pack.
00:59:12You must learn
00:59:13to shoulder the
00:59:14responsibilities of
00:59:14true heirs.
00:59:15The twins stepped
00:59:17forward together.
00:59:21Their expressions
00:59:22were serious.
00:59:26Each placed a
00:59:27right hand over
00:59:28their chest.
00:59:29It was the
00:59:30highest salute
00:59:30in werewolf
00:59:31tradition.
00:59:34We understand.
00:59:36Standing among
00:59:37the crowd, I
00:59:39looked at the
00:59:39two small figures
00:59:40who still carried
00:59:41traces of
00:59:41childhood incidents.
00:59:43My nose suddenly
00:59:44sting with emotion.
00:59:46They were still
00:59:47only children.
00:59:48I gently tugged
00:59:49on Adrian Blackwood's
00:59:50sleeve.
00:59:51They're still so
00:59:52young.
00:59:53Do they really
00:59:54have to bear such
00:59:55responsibilities already?
00:59:56Adrian Blackwood
00:59:57lowered his head
00:59:58and looked at me.
00:59:59When no one was
01:00:00looking, Adrian
01:00:01Blackwood's massive
01:00:02hand gripped and
01:00:03forcibly kneed flesh
01:00:04from behind,
01:00:04pulling me roughly
01:00:05against his rock-hard
01:00:07chest.
01:00:08He leaned close
01:00:09to my ear.
01:00:10His hot breath
01:00:11fanned over my neck,
01:00:12his voice deep,
01:00:13husky, and filled
01:00:14with undisguised lust.
01:00:15Sweetheart, I've
01:00:16worked so hard
01:00:17raising them so I
01:00:17can retire early,
01:00:18haven't I?
01:00:19Once they're fully
01:00:20grown, I'll hand
01:00:20the entire pack
01:00:21over to them
01:00:22and spend every
01:00:22day by your side.
01:00:23Feeling the
01:00:24massive, rapidly
01:00:25expanding hardness
01:00:26pressing flush
01:00:26against my inner
01:00:27thigh, my face
01:00:28immediately turned
01:00:28crimson.
01:00:29My entire body
01:00:30went weak, and I
01:00:32couldn't help
01:00:32giving him a
01:00:33playful smack
01:00:33on the arm.
01:00:36Adrian, you're
01:00:37crazy.
01:00:38Everyone's
01:00:39watching.
01:00:40The twins had
01:00:40clearly grown
01:00:41accustomed to
01:00:42scenes like this.
01:00:43Ethan gave Emma's
01:00:43shoulder a solemn
01:00:44pat.
01:00:45Sis, from now on,
01:00:46we shouldn't expect
01:00:46much from mom and
01:00:47dad.
01:00:47All they want is
01:00:48to enjoy their
01:00:49life as a couple.
01:00:49Emma let out a
01:00:50soft huff.
01:00:51Who said I need
01:00:52you to take care
01:00:52of me?
01:00:52I'm gonna become
01:00:53an alpha too, and
01:00:54I'll compete with
01:00:54you fairly.
01:00:55Ethan nodded with
01:00:56a smile.
01:00:57Deal, we'll do
01:00:58it together.
01:00:58Watching the
01:00:59determination shining
01:01:00in both of their
01:01:01eyes, Adrian's
01:01:02eye eyes filled
01:01:03with pride and
01:01:04satisfaction.
01:01:05Then, he
01:01:06officially brought
01:01:07the twins before
01:01:08every member of
01:01:08the pack.
01:01:10Even so, several
01:01:11conservative elders
01:01:12frowned in
01:01:13disapproval.
01:01:13They showed no
01:01:14trace of wolf
01:01:15aura at birth.
01:01:16Are they truly
01:01:16qualified to
01:01:17become alphas?
01:01:18Can hybrids really
01:01:20lead an entire
01:01:21pack?
01:01:21Whispers immediately
01:01:22spread through the
01:01:23crowd.
01:01:24Ethan calmly
01:01:24stepped forward.
01:01:25The twins stepped
01:01:26forward together.
01:01:27Their expressions
01:01:28were serious.
01:01:29Each placed a
01:01:30right hand over
01:01:31their chest.
01:01:32If anyone still
01:01:33has doubts, you're
01:01:35welcome to challenge
01:01:36me right now.
01:01:37The entire forest
01:01:39fell silent.
01:01:40The twins stepped
01:01:41forward together.
01:01:42Their expressions
01:01:42were serious.
01:01:43Each placed a
01:01:44right hand over
01:01:44their chest.
01:01:45Several young
01:01:45alphas stepped
01:01:46out from the
01:01:47crowd at once.
01:01:47But the outcome
01:01:48completely exceeded
01:01:49everyone's
01:01:50expectation.
01:01:50Whether it was
01:01:51strength or speed
01:01:52or combat instinct,
01:01:53the twins far
01:01:53surpassed every
01:01:54werewolf of
01:01:55their age.
01:01:56The twins stepped
01:01:57forward together.
01:01:58Their expressions
01:01:59were serious.
01:02:00Each placed a
01:02:01right hand over
01:02:02their chest.
01:02:03Yet what truly
01:02:04astonished everyone
01:02:05was their
01:02:05intelligence.
01:02:06During the
01:02:06council meeting,
01:02:07when confronted
01:02:08with every question
01:02:09raised by the
01:02:10elders, they
01:02:10analyzed each
01:02:11issue with
01:02:12remarkable
01:02:12composure, offering
01:02:13solutions more
01:02:14thoughtful than
01:02:15those of many
01:02:15seasoned adults.
01:02:16At last, the
01:02:18final elder rose to
01:02:19his feet.
01:02:20He was the first to
01:02:21kneel on one knee.
01:02:22The Blackwood Pack
01:02:23pledges its loyalty
01:02:24to our future
01:02:25heirs.
01:02:26The next second,
01:02:27every werewolf bowed
01:02:28their head in
01:02:29unison.
01:02:30We pledge our
01:02:31loyalty to the
01:02:32future Alphas.
01:02:36Beneath the
01:02:37moonlight, the
01:02:38twins exchanged a
01:02:39smile.
01:02:40neither of them
01:02:41sought to claim
01:02:42the throne alone.
01:02:51Instead, they
01:02:53chose to protect
01:02:53the pack together.
01:02:56Several more
01:02:56years passed.
01:03:00Having received an
01:03:01education in human
01:03:02society while growing
01:03:04up within the pack,
01:03:06the twins officially
01:03:08began representing the
01:03:09Blackwood Pack.
01:03:10They entered
01:03:11negotiations with human
01:03:13governments, establishing a
01:03:14confinality system to protect
01:03:16werewolf identities, and
01:03:18improving laws governing
01:03:19relations between different
01:03:20races.
01:03:23They protected werewolf pups,
01:03:25while also safeguarding
01:03:27ordinary humans.
01:03:28The hostility that had lasted
01:03:30for centuries finally began to
01:03:32ease.
01:03:34Werewolves were no longer
01:03:35creatures forced to hide in
01:03:36the shadows.
01:03:37For the first time, humans
01:03:39truly came to understand
01:03:41them.
01:03:42As fate would have it, many
01:03:44years later, Ethan and
01:03:46Emma met once again the
01:03:47werewolf twins who had been
01:03:48returned to their biological
01:03:49mother years before.
01:03:51The four of them grew up
01:03:53together.
01:03:56Together, they protected the
01:03:57pack.
01:04:02In the end, they each found
01:04:05their own fated mate among
01:04:06the four of them.
01:04:09The two families were united
01:04:10once again by destiny.
01:04:18And all of this was a story
01:04:20for another time.
01:04:23After entrusting the entire
01:04:25pack to our children,
01:04:27Adrian finally fulfilled the
01:04:29promise he had once made.
01:04:30He no longer involved himself
01:04:33in pack affairs, and instead
01:04:35traveled the world with me.
01:04:39We visited the Alps.
01:04:41We wandered across the
01:04:43Scottish Highlands.
01:04:44We explored the forests of
01:04:46northern Europe.
01:04:48Whenever we found ourselves
01:04:50somewhere far from
01:04:51civilization, he would grin and
01:04:54transform into the enormous
01:04:55black wolf I loved so dearly.
01:04:58Then he would lower himself to
01:05:00the ground, inviting me to
01:05:02climb onto his back.
01:05:04Laughing, I wrapped my arms
01:05:06around his neck.
01:05:07He carried me through endless
01:05:09forests, running beneath the
01:05:11silver moonlight.
01:05:12When night grew quiet, he would
01:05:16return to his human form.
01:05:18Then he would gently pull me
01:05:20into his embrace.
01:05:22One day, our journey finally came
01:05:25to an end.
01:05:27We sat together atop a mountain.
01:05:31Above us stretched a sky filled

01:05:46I rested my head against his

01:05:51rise above the distant horizon.

01:05:58And thank you, too.
01:06:00Thank you, fate, for allowing me
01:06:02to meet my alpha.
01:06:05Moonlight quietly bathed the earth.
01:06:11In the distance, a long and
01:06:13resolute wolf's howl echoed
01:06:15through the night.
01:06:16A new era belonging to the
01:06:18Blackwood Pack had only just begun.
01:06:21John Gadot.
