00:08The White Lion family does not tolerate betrayal.
00:12The bond is over.
00:13Lydia Gray said I had slept with another Alpha during my heat.
00:17So Kane White Lion ignored all the years we had shared under our bond.
00:21He even refused to acknowledge the cubs in my belly.
00:24When his divorce and bond termination notice came in,
00:26the doctor at the fertility clinic had just handed me my fetal scan report.
00:30Four cubs, she said, looking at the screen.
00:33All four heartbeats are steady.
00:34And all of them already show the royal markings of the silver-manned white lion.
00:39Silver-manned white lion.
00:40The most noble, powerful, and hard-to-produced Alpha bloodline in North American Beastman society.
00:46Kane White Lion.
00:47Head of the White Lion clan.
00:49The man in charge of white lion hoardings.
00:51My bonded Alpha.
00:52And the Alpha who had just kicked me out of the white lion bond circle with one single notice.
00:57My phone buzzed again.
00:58A confirmation document from the trust fund appeared on the screen.
01:01Evelyn, the evidence of your betrayal has been submitted.
01:04The $100 million compensation trust is now active.
01:07Confirm it, then leave.
01:09Do not come near the white lions again.
01:10Once I tapped exempt, the $100 million would go straight into my account.
01:14He thought money could settle everything.
01:16Buy out the bond.
01:17Buy out his dignity.
01:19Buy my silence after he humiliated me in public.
01:21But I would not take it.
01:23I tapped reject and sent the trust back to his legal team.
01:26Then I sent one line to my own lawyer, Monica.
01:29Record this.
01:30I refuse Kane White Lion's $100 million bond termination payout.
01:33From now on, there are no financial dealings between us.
01:36The doctor saw what I did and froze.
01:38Miss Hart, are you sure?
01:39A quadruplet pregnancy will be very hard.
01:42The medical costs won't be small.
01:44I know.
01:45I was a moon fox omega.
01:47I was also a pheromone regulator.
01:49For the past three years, I had used my license to enter high-level beastman circles.
01:54I helped alphas on the edge of losing control repair their pheromins.
01:57I helped pregnant omegas stabilize their fetal signals.
02:00I had also helped Kane through countless rut crises.
02:03I'm not rich, but I have a job.
02:06I have a license.
02:07I have savings.
02:08I know how to survive.
02:10I can be poor.
02:11I can struggle.
02:12I can raise four cubs from nothing.
02:14But I will not take money meant to humiliate me.
02:18The doctor sealed the preliminary paternity form for me.
02:20Then she copied the fetal scan into an encrypted chip.
02:24Go to Vancouver.
02:25The Omega Sanctuary can protect you.
02:27Vancouver had the largest Omega Protection Agency core zone in North America.
02:32Once I was on the protection list, any alpha who came near me without permission would be breaking the law.
02:37Even the White Lion Clan could not cross a protection order and take me by force.
02:41Before I left the clinic, Kane sent another message.
02:44If you take the money, stop acting innocent.
02:46I looked at the words and gave a small laugh.
02:49Then I replied,
02:50The money has been rejected.
02:52I accept the broken bond.
02:53I do not accept the insult.
02:56After sending it, I removed the tracking chip from my phone.
02:59Then I booked the fastest private flight to Vancouver.
03:03Two hours later, I stayed inside the private terminal.
03:06The gate was right ahead.
03:08The boarding announcement had already started.
03:10My hand rested on my belly.
03:12For the first time, I clearly understood something.
03:15I was not running alone.
03:16There were four unborn heartbeats inside me.
03:19They had not even been born yet.
03:21But their own father had already denied their blood.
03:24The next second, the silver gate suddenly dropped shut.
03:28More than a dozen White Lion guards blocked the passage.
03:31The man in front lowered his head to me.
03:33Miss Hart,
03:34Mr. White Lion asks you to delay your departure.
03:38I tightened my grip on my suitcase.
03:40And if I refuse?
03:41Behind me, a familiar scent pressed in.
03:44Cedar wood and cold iron.
03:46Cain stood at the terminal entrance.
03:48Under his long black coat,
03:50the silver man lion mark floated along the side of his neck.
03:52His gray-blue eyes locked on me.
03:54Anger was buried deep inside me.
03:56Evelyn.
03:57His voice was cold and hoarse.
03:59Open your bag.
04:00I did not move.
04:01Cain, we are divorced.
04:02The bond is broken.
04:03You have no right to search me.
04:05He took one step forward.
04:07His powerful alpha pressure forced the lower-ranked beastmen around us to back away.
04:11He refused my payout.
04:14Then you turned around and tried to leave the country.
04:17His gaze fell on my belly.
04:22Evelyn, you're carrying cubs of unknown origin.
04:25And now you want to throw the blame back on the White Lions?
04:28Unknown origin.
04:29The four cubs in my belly were all his.
04:32But in his eyes, if he had not allowed them,
04:35if he had not acknowledged them,
04:36then they could be called unknown.
04:38Just then, Lydia Gray walked out from behind him.
04:40She was a gray wolf noble omega.
04:42The elders had already treated her as the future mistress of the White Lion clan.
04:46I could smell the clean, sweet scent on her.
04:49Under it, there was a faint, bitter almond note.
04:51That was the smell of a masking agent.
04:53Lydia said softly,
04:54Miss Hart, Cain isn't trying to make things hard for you.
04:57But you slept with a stray alpha during your heat.
05:00And now you're suddenly pregnant.
05:02This is serious for the White Lions.
05:04Miss Gray, how do you know it was a stray alpha?
05:07Her smile frozen for a second.
05:10It's written clearly in the evidence.
05:12The betrayal evidence sealed by the council.
05:14You can read that?
05:15I looked at her.
05:16Or was that evidence prepared by you in the first place?
05:19Cain finally turned his head and looked at her.
05:21Lydia's eyes reddened at once.
05:23Cain, she's a pheromone regulator.
05:25Of course she knows how to twist words and mislead you.
05:28I'm only afraid you'll be fooled by her again.
05:30Cain did not answer her.
05:32He only raised a hand to the council doctor.
05:34Check her.
05:34I stepped back.
05:36I don't agree.
05:37Cain looked at me.
05:38His eyes turned even colder.
05:40If those cubs aren't chips you plan to use against the White Lions,
05:44then why are you afraid of a check?
05:46Those words hurt more than any insult.
05:49I took a deep breath.
05:50Then I stood still.
05:52Fine.
05:52Check.
05:53The scanner moved close to my belly.
05:57A few seconds later, four silver beast marks lit up on the screen.
06:02The first.
06:02The second.
06:03The third.
06:04The fourth.
06:05Four tiny royal silver mane markings, clear enough that no one could argue.
06:10The doctor's face changed.
06:11Direct White Lion fetal signals.
06:13All four of them.
06:17Every trace of color drained from Lydia's face.
06:20Cain froze where he stood.
06:22He stared at the screen like he was staring at a judgment that came too late.
06:26I took a sealed file from my bag and handed it to him.
06:30Preliminary paternity test.
06:32I was going to take it to Vancouver to apply for protection.
06:35He tore the file open and flipped to the last page.
06:38Paternity match.
06:3999.99 tested subject.
06:42Cain White Lion.
06:43His fingers slowly tightened.
06:45The paper crumpled in his hand.
06:48I saw the coldness in his eyes shatter.
06:50Shock, joy, panic, fear.
06:54Then all of it was swallowed by a wild possessiveness.
06:57You're carrying my cubs and you still wanted to run?
07:00I looked at him calmly.
07:02You told me to leave.
07:03He stepped closer.
07:04I'm telling you now.
07:06You're not allowed.
07:07Too late.
07:08You already broke the bond and you showed me exactly what I am to you.
07:12His voice tightened.
07:15Evelyn.
07:16An Omega who can be doubted.
07:20Humiliated.
07:21Thrown away.
07:22I looked at him.
07:23Good thing I didn't take your money.
07:25Otherwise, would you say you had bought me and the cubs too?
07:28Lydia suddenly spoke.
07:29Cain.
07:30Fetal signals and paternity records can both be interfered with.
07:34She's a regulator.
07:35She knows that best.
07:36Miss Gray.
07:37Even now, you still want to gamble?
07:41You can keep trusting her.
07:43You already did once.
07:45Cain stared at the paternity report.
07:47The color slowly left his face.
07:49Everyone had heard him call my cubs unknown.
07:52Lydia heard it.
07:53The council doctor heard it.
07:55The white lion guards heard it too.
07:57And now, those four silver royal markings had slapped him across the face.
08:02I looked at the report in his hand.
08:05My voice was very soft.
08:07Cain, just now, you said they were of unknown origin.
08:13Evelyn, I didn't know.
08:16You didn't fail to know.
08:18I looked up at him.
08:19You didn't want to know.
08:21You had already decided I was a traitor.
08:24So nothing I said mattered.
08:26If I got pregnant, it was a scheme.
08:28If I stayed silent, it was guilt.
08:30If I left, I was running away with the cubs.
08:35You never even thought that maybe I was just hurt enough by you to leave.
08:41Cain reached out to touch me.
08:43I stepped back.
08:45His hand froze in the air.
08:47I looked at that hand.
08:48Over the past three years, that hand had once held me tightly during his rut.
08:53It had once put a coat around my shoulders in front of others.
08:56It had also signed the bond-dermination papers and pushed me in front of Lydia to be humiliated.
09:02Don't touch me.
09:04I'm afraid the cubs will remember your scent.
09:07Cain's pupils shrank hard.
09:08I did not give him time to breathe.
09:11They haven't even been born yet.
09:13But the first thing they heard from their father was that they were of unknown origin.
09:18Cain, if they ask me one day what their father said when he first learned they existed,
09:23what should I tell them?
09:25His lips turned pale.
09:27His voice was hoarse.
09:29Stop.
09:30No, I looked at him.
09:32You need to hear all of it.
09:33I spoke each word clearly.
09:35When you hurt me, I could endure it.
09:38When you humiliated me, I could leave.
09:41But when you hurt them, I will not cover it up for you.
09:44Cain stood there like he had been nailed to the floor.
09:47And in that moment, for the first time,
09:49I saw real panic on the face of that arrogant silver-maned white lion.
09:54Cain still took me back to the white lion estate.
09:56He said it was to protect the pregnancy.
09:58I knew it was also to watch me.
10:01The medical wing of the estate was opened overnight.
10:04Top pregnancy doctors, fetal signal specialists, and council witnesses all arrived.
10:10The news of four silver-maned cubs spread through the clan like a storm.
10:14The elders demanded to see me at once.
10:17Cain blocked them outside.
10:19It was the first time he had ever stood between me and elders.
10:24But I no longer wanted to be moved by it.
10:30In the medical wing, the doctors helped me stabilize the fetal signals.
10:35Cain stood outside my room all night.
10:37He never left.
10:38At dawn, I woke once.
10:40I saw him watching me through the glass.
10:43He did not come in.
10:44Maybe he did not dare.
10:46The next day, he pushed the door open.
10:48I was on the phone with my lawyer.
10:50Monica, I am in the white lion estate's medical wing.
10:54Please record this.
10:55I did not come here willingly.
10:57If you do not receive a safety confirmation from me in 30 minutes, file a case with the Beastmen Council.
11:02The charge is a legal restriction of a pregnant Omega's freedom.
11:06Cain stood at the door.
11:07His face looked terrible.
11:09I ended the call and looked at him.
11:11What do you want to say?
11:13His voice was hoarse.
11:16Why didn't you tell me?
11:18Tell you what?
11:19I asked back.
11:21That the cubs you called unknown were actually yours.
11:25His lips pressed into a hard line.
11:28I went on.
11:29Cain, when you sent me the bond termination notice, you did not ask me one question.
11:34When you humiliated me in front of Lydia, you did not give me a chance to explain.
11:38You even prepared 100 million dollars and told me to leave White Lion Land.
11:43I thought...
11:43You thought I betrayed you.
11:44I cut him off.
11:45So you humiliated me.
11:48Drove me out.
11:50Forced me to leave.
11:51Now that you know the cubs are yours, you think everything can start over?
11:54He fell silent.
11:56Cain White Lion always had an answer.
11:58But now, he had none.
12:01I threw back the blanket and got out of bed.
12:04He tensed at once.
12:06The doctor said you shouldn't move around.
12:08Then move.
12:09Evelyn.
12:10Don't call me like that.
12:11I looked up at him.
12:12The moment you believed Lydia, I gave up on you.
12:15His eyes shook.
12:16I walked past him without looking back.
12:20That night, I left the medical wing.
12:22But before I reached the back door, someone blocked my way.
12:25Miss Hart, you forgot one thing.
12:27The White Lion lawyer placed a document in front of me.
12:29One hundred million dollars.
12:31Sign it.
12:32Take the money and leave quietly.
12:34I looked at the number on the page.
12:35So this was how Cain wanted to end us.
12:37Return it.
12:38Miss Hart, be realistic.
12:39Without White Lion support, raising four cubs will destroy you.
12:42My hand covered my belly.
12:44The four faint heartbeats inside me were still there.
12:47My cubs are not for sale.
12:48I pushed the document back.
12:50Tell Cain White Lion.
12:51I won't use his insult to raise my cubs.
12:53You will regret this.
12:55The only thing I regret was trusting him.
12:58The lawyer's face darkened.
12:59Outside the glass doors, the White Lion guards began to move.
13:03I turned and ran.
13:04Stop her!
13:05The White Lion estate was huge.
13:08There were guards everywhere.
13:09But I had worked there for three years as a regulator.
13:12I knew every pheromone shield outlet.
13:15I also knew which passage led to the outer forest.
13:18I took very little with me.
13:20A few clothes.
13:22My medical reports.
13:23Fetal stabilizers.
13:25My license.
13:26My savings card.
13:27I did not take a cent from him.
13:29I had rejected the $100 million.
13:32It had already been returned to the White Lion legal team.
13:35I did not need his insult to raise my cubs.
13:39At five in the morning, I entered the Vancouver Omega Sanctuary.
13:42The protection agency staff put a temporary protection ban on me.
13:46From now on, any alpha who comes near you without permission is breaking the law.
13:50The White Lion clan cannot take you from the sanctuary.
13:53I lowered my head and touched my belly.
13:56Did you hear that?
13:58We're safe now.
13:59But as soon as I entered the apartment, my lawyer sent me a message.
14:04Evelyn, the White Lion elders have filed a request with the Beastman Council.
14:08They want custody of the four silver-manned heirs.
14:11My fingers slowly tightened.
14:15Kane did not want me.
14:17But the White Lions wanted my cubs.
14:23Kane found me on the third day.
14:25He did not break into the sanctuary.
14:27He only stood outside the protection line.
14:30It was raining in Vancouver.
14:32He wore a black coat.
14:33His silver hair was wet from the rain.
14:36He looked nothing like the untouchable clan leader he used to be.
14:39I watched him through the glass.
14:42I did not open the door.
14:44He sent a call request.
14:46His voice was Hanksky.
14:49Evelyn, I found out the truth.
14:52Lydia forged the evidence.
14:54I said nothing.
14:55Kane went on.
14:56She bribed the clinic and switched your pheromone sample.
15:00She edited the footage of you in a stray alpha.
15:04She also sent your suppresses records to the council.
15:08She made them look like proof that you met someone during your heat.
15:13The truth came too late.
15:15The truth came too late.
15:16So late that I only felt tired when I heard it.
15:21So, he stood in the rain.
15:23His face was pale.
15:27I was wrong.
15:29I gave a small laugh.
15:33Kane, are you apologizing because you know I never betrayed you?
15:37Or because you know the cubs are yours?
15:41His throat moved.
15:44He could not speak.
15:47So I answered for him.
15:50But the second matters more.
15:58No.
15:59His voice tightened.
16:03Evelyn, it's because I hurt you.
16:05When you hurt me, you did not know you would pay for it.
16:09I looked at him.
16:10So your regret sounds cheap.
16:13His face turned white bit by bit.
16:15He said in a low voice.
16:17I can make it up to you.
16:18Anything you want.
16:20Make it up to me?
16:21I looked at him.
16:22I already rejected your money once.
16:25That wasn't compensation.
16:27That was an insult.
16:28I can give you something else.
16:29I don't want it.
16:31I cut him off.
16:34He froze.
16:35I said calmly,
16:37I won't take your money.
16:38I won't live off the White Lions.
16:41Kane, I am not someone you can price again with a number.
16:44That hurt more than rejection.
16:46Kane looked up at me.
16:47Panic finally showed in his eyes.
16:49Let me see you.
16:51Just once.
16:52There is no need.
16:54Evelyn.
16:55Kane, do you know what the funniest part is?
16:58I looked at him through the rain.
17:01I used to think I was just the regulator you hired under contract.
17:05At least I thought I was your partner.
17:08But when you used money to make me leave in front of Lydia,
17:12I finally understood.
17:15In your heart, I was just an Omega you could throw out of the bond circle any time.
17:21He froze in place.
17:25I ended the call.
17:27Outside the glass, he did not leave.
17:29He stood there all night.
17:32The sanctuary glass was one way.
17:34I could see him.
17:35He could not see me.
17:38At three in the morning, the rain grew heavier.
17:41His coat was soaked.
17:42His silver hair stuck to his forehead.
17:45His guards came forward several times with umbrellas.
17:49Each time, he raised a hand and stopped them.
17:53My phone lit up every ten minutes.
17:56Evelyn, the rain is too heavy.
17:58At least let me check if you have a fever.
18:01Evelyn, I've removed everyone who was tracking you.
18:04Evelyn, I won't force you to come back.
18:06Evelyn, if you don't want to see me, just reply that you're safe.
18:10I did not answer any of them.
18:12Later, he stopped sending messages.
18:14He sent a voice recording instead.
18:16I opened it and heard his voice.
18:19Horsey.
18:20Strained.
18:20Almost not like him.
18:22I only found out today that you rejected the 100 million dollars.
18:27I thought you had taken it.
18:28I was even angry that you took the money and still wanted to leave.
18:31But from beginning to end, you took nothing.
18:36Evelyn, I looked down on you too much.
18:38There was a long silence in the recording.
18:41Then he said,
18:43I was the cheap one.
18:44I turned off the recording and deleted it.
18:47It was not that it did not hurt.
18:49It hurt too much.
18:51If this had been before, maybe I would have softened.
18:55When I heard Cain lower his head like that.
19:01But now, I had four cubs in my belly.
19:07I could not let his regret and drag me back to the White Lion estate.
19:11The next morning, a protection agency worker brought me hot milk.
19:16She said quietly,
19:19Mr. White Lion is still outside.
19:21He applied to see you.
19:23It was rejected three times.
19:28I looked out the window.
19:30Cain stood on the other side of the protection line.
19:33His face was blurred by the rain.
19:36I looked away.
19:37I won't see him.
19:39The worker nodded and left.
19:41I lowered my head and touched my belly.
19:44I whispered,
19:46See?
19:48Regret is his business.
19:51Surviving is ours.
19:53That same morning,
19:55the protection agency told me Cain White Lion had filed a request with the Beastmen Council.
19:58He wanted to withdraw the Elder's custody request.
20:01But the Elders refused.
20:02Their reason was simple.
20:03The Silverman'd heirs belonged to the White Lion clan.
20:06And I,
20:06a Moonfox Omega with no clan backing,
20:09was not worthy to raise them alone.
20:10The sanctuary was safe,
20:12but it could not block public opinion.
20:14The next day,
20:15North American Beastman media began reporting my name.
20:18Low-rank Moonfox Omega,
20:19pregnant with four Silverman'd hairs.
20:21White Lion's ex-bonded partner suspected of fleeting with cubs.
20:24Elders seek custody of high-rank cubs.
20:26Omega protection law faces dispute.
20:28I looked at those headlines.
20:29My fingers went cold.
20:31They talked about my cubs like they were four clan assets waiting to be assigned.
20:34No one asked if I was in pain.
20:36No one asked if I agreed.
20:38The Elder's hearing was held at the Beastmen Council.
20:40I sat in the hearing seat with my slightly raised belly.
20:43Across from me sat seven White Lion elders.
20:46Haynes sat on the other side.
20:48His face was dark.
20:49The leading elder did not even look at me.
20:51He only looked at the council.
20:53The Silverman'd White Lions have had no heirs for a hundred years.
20:56These four direct heirs concern the survival of the White Lion clan.
20:59Evelyn Hart has unclear blood and low status.
21:01She is not qualified to raise high-rank cubs.
21:05I lifted my eyes.
21:06My cubs haven't even been born and you're already dividing up their lives?
21:10The Elder said coldly,
21:11This is clan duty.
21:13Then what am I?
21:14I asked.
21:16What am I to you?
21:17He paused.
21:19I answered for him.
21:20A womb.
21:21A low-rank Omega who can give birth to heirs.
21:24The hearing room went quiet.
21:26Kane suddenly stood.
21:27Enough!
21:28The Elder looked at him.
21:29Kane, you have been influenced by this moon fox.
21:32Any decision you make now is not fit to represent the clan.
21:35She is not a low-rank moon fox.
21:38Kane's voice was icy.
21:39She is the mother of four cubs.
21:41A mother can receive compensation.
21:43I laughed.
21:45Compensation again.
21:46I looked at Kane.
21:48Is money the only way the White Lions know how to deal with people?
21:52Kane's face went pale.
21:54The Elder kept pressing.
21:56After the cubs are born, they must enter the White Lion nursery tower.
22:00Miss Hart may keep visitation rights.
22:02I clenched my fingers.
22:04Just then, the large screen in the hearing room lit up.
22:07Lydia's voice came from it.
22:09None of you know, do you?
22:11Evelyn is not an ordinary fox.
22:12She is a moon fox.
22:14She is the bloodline the White Lions have been searching for for a hundred years.
22:17As long as you control her, the White Lions will never go extinct again.
22:21The whole room erupted.
22:22The Elder's eyes changed at once.
22:25They no longer looked at me with only contempt.
22:28Now, there was greed.
22:30The four fetal signals in my belly seemed to feel the pressure too.
22:33They grew restless.
22:34I pressed my hand to my belly and forced myself to stay calm.
22:39Kane walked in front of me and blocked every gaze.
22:41The hearing is over.
22:43The Elder snapped.
22:44Kane!
22:45The Moonfox bloodline must be protected by the clan!
22:48Kane took off the leader's ring and slammed it onto the table.
22:52If anyone dares touch her, remove me as clan leader first.
22:56The hearing room fell dead silent.
22:58I looked at his back.
22:59This time, he stood in front of me.
23:01But I felt no warmth.
23:02Only a late, empty sadness.
23:05If he had trusted me earlier, we would never have reached this point.
23:11After the hearing, Kane caught up to me in the hallway.
23:14Evelyn, the Elder's won't touch you again.
23:18I stopped.
23:19You can't promise that.
23:21His voice stuck.
23:22I looked at him.
23:24Kane.
23:26You couldn't even promise that you wouldn't hurt me.
23:29The last trace of color left his face.
23:31I did not look at him again.
23:34I left with the protection agency staff.
23:36I left again.
23:38This time, with the Omega Protection Agency and my lawyer escorting me.
23:42I officially entered the core zone of the Vancouver Sanctuary.
23:47Kane could not come near me.
23:49He could only stand outside the protection line every day.
23:53I did not see him.
23:54I started working again as a pheromone regulator.
23:58There were many Omikas in the Sanctuary who had been hurt by bombs.
24:01Their glands were unstable.
24:03Their pheromones were broken.
24:05They were like the old me.
24:07They were already in pain, but still used to saying it was fine.
24:11I repaired their sense.
24:12I also slowly found a little peace for myself.
24:15My life was not easy.
24:17A quadruplet pregnancy was hard.
24:19I often felt so sick during regulation sessions that I trembled.
24:23The medical bills were high, too.
24:25Even with subsidies from the protection agency, they still pressed on me until I could barely breathe.
24:29But I did not regret rejecting the money.
24:32The Sanctuary was not heaven.
24:33The protection agency could keep Kane out, but it could not keep out bills, public opinion, or a high-risk
24:38quadruplet pregnancy.
24:43Every morning, I got up at six.
24:48First, I stabilized my own fetal signals.
24:53Then I went to the regulation room to see clients.
24:56Many Omegas had heard that I was the moon fox Khan had broken his bond with.
25:00They did not trust me right away.
25:02They sat in front of me.
25:03Their eyes held pity and doubt.
25:06You were hurt by an alpha that badly yourself.
25:09Can you still help us?
25:10One of them asked.
25:11I was not angry.
25:12I only turned on the regulation device.
25:14Then I lowered my moon fox pheromones to the gentlest frequency.
25:21Because I know how it hurts.
25:22I know where to begin fixing it.
25:25After that day, she became my first long-term client.
25:28I used this work to pay rent, check-up fees, and medicine bills.
25:31When the pregnancy sickness was bad, I often held the sink and threw up.
25:36Then I wiped away my tears and met the next client.
25:40When Kane found out, he sent someone with proof that all my medical bills had been paid.
25:46I sent it back untouched.
25:50The next day, he had White Lion Hoardings donate equipment to the sanctuary in the name of charity.
25:56I did not stop that.
25:57The equipment was for all Omagas.
26:00Not just me.
26:01That was not compensation.
26:03That was the debt he owed to the system.
26:05But he still could not come in.
26:07Once, I came out of the regulation room and saw him far away.
26:11He was standing outside the protection line.
26:14His assistant was reporting something quietly beside him.
26:16But he kept looking at me.
26:18I did not walk over.
26:20He did not cross the line either.
26:22In that moment, I suddenly understood something.
26:24Atonance was not kneeling once.
26:26It was not one apology.
26:27It was not cleaning up one family.
26:29True atonement was this.
26:31He finally had countless ways to come close to me.
26:34But he could only stand outside the rules and wait.
26:37He had to wait and see if I was willing to look at him.
26:42Two months later, I held a public lecture.
26:45The topic was Ferrum and Violence Inside Bonds.
26:48The seats were filled with Omegas.
26:49Many reporters were there, too.
26:52Someone asked,
26:53Miss Hart, are you talking about Mr. White Lion?
26:55I held the microphone and answered calmly.
26:57I am saying that no alpha should think power gives him the right to define an Omega's loyalty.
27:02The room went silent.
27:08After the lecture, I went backstage to rest.
27:11Soon I opened the door.
27:12A familiar bitter almond scent rushed toward me.
27:14Lydia was standing inside.
27:15She held a silver spray bottle.
27:17She had lost a lot of weight.
27:19Her eyes were full of hatred.
27:21Evelyn, you ruined everything for me.
27:24You ruined yourself.
27:26I protected my belly by instinct.
27:28She laughed and pressed the spray.
27:30Inducing pheromones exploded in the room.
27:32A sharp pain shot through the back of my neck.
27:35The fetal signals in my belly went into chaos.
27:38I grabbed the edge of the table and bent over in pain.
27:41Lydia came closer.
27:42So what if you're a moon fox?
27:44As long as you die, the cubs can still enter the White Lion nursery tower.
27:49Kane will hate me.
27:51But sooner or later, he'll need a high-rank Omega.
27:54You're insane.
27:57Yes, I am.
27:58Her eyes were red.
28:00I waited for Kane for ten years.
28:05The elders promised me I would become the White Lion mistress.
28:08But when you appeared, everything changed.
28:11You never lost to me.
28:13You lost to your own greed.
28:14I was in so much pain that breathing shooked.
28:16But I still stared at her.
28:18She raised her hand and tried to spray again.
28:21The door was slammed open.
28:23Kane rushed in.
28:24His eyes had turned silver-blue like a beast's.
28:26His pheromones were close to losing control.
28:28But before he came near me, he forced himself to stop.
28:31He did not pick me up by force like before.
28:34He only half-kneeled three steps away.
28:36His voice trembled.
28:37Evelyn, look at me.
28:39Breathe slowly.
28:40I was in too much pain to speak.
28:43Why don't you mark her?
28:44She needs Alpha comfort right now.
28:46Lydia screamed with laughter.
28:48Kane looked at me and said each word clearly.
28:51If she does not allow it, I will not touch her.
29:02My vision went black.
29:05The last thing I heard was the doctors rushing in.
29:08The fetal heartbeats are dropping!
29:10The smallest one can't hold on!
29:12When I woke in the hospital, Kane was standing outside my room.
29:15He did not dare come in.
29:18The doctor said the four fetal heartbeats had stabilized for now.
29:21But the smallest one was still in danger.
29:23Lydia had been arrested by the council.
29:27The whole Grey family was under investigation.
29:30But I had no strength to care about her.
29:32I only touched my belly and asked the doctor softly,
29:35Will little four survive?
29:36The doctor was silent for a few seconds.
29:39We will do everything we can.
29:41There was a muffled sound outside the door.
29:43Kane stood there.
29:44His eyes were terrifyingly red.
29:46I looked at him.
29:47You heard that?
29:48Then you should hear one more thing.
29:50He nodded.
29:51His throat tightened.
29:52What?
29:53If anything happens to the cub, Lydia will not be the only one at fault.
29:56Kane froze.
29:58I looked at him calmly.
30:00You brought her in front of me, believed her.
30:02You gave her the chance to hurt me.
30:04The words were cruel, but I did not take them back.
30:09When the doctor said little four's heartbeat had dropped,
30:13Kane lost control for the first time.
30:16He almost shifted.
30:20The silver manned beast marks spread from his neck to the back of his hand.
30:25The lights in the hallway flickered under the force of his pheromones.
30:31But he did not rush into the room.
30:34He stood outside the door and gripped the doorway hard.
30:38The skin on the back of his hand split.
30:40Blood dripped from his fingers to the floor.
30:45What can I do?
30:46He asked the doctor.
30:48The doctor looked at him.
30:50The thing you must not do right now is stimulate her with your alpha pheromones.
30:56Kane closed his eyes.
30:58He forced every bit of his scent back down.
31:05It looked like he was stuffing an enraged beast back into his bones.
31:10He was in so much pain that his face turned white.
31:14But he made no sound.
31:16I saw him through the crack in the door.
31:19In that moment, I was not untouched.
31:22But after that came a deeper clarity.
31:26He had finally learned not to touch me.
31:29He had finally learned restraint.
31:31He had finally learned to put my safety above his instincts.
31:36But why did he only learn it after little four almost died?
31:41When the doctor injected me with stabilizers, I gripped the sheets.
31:47The pain made my vision go dark.
31:49Outside the door, Kane said softly,
31:52Evelyn, I'm here.
31:54I did not answer.
31:56After a long time, I finally spoke.
32:00Kane, if anything happens to little four, I won't hate Lydia forever.
32:07Outside the door, it went dead silent.
32:09I went on, I'll hate you.
32:13After that, there was no sound outside.
32:17Later, the nurse told me Kane sat at the end of the hallway all night.
32:22The silver beast marks on his body did not fade.
32:26But his eyes stayed red.
32:31At dawn, he had his assistant hand all of the Grey family's files to the council.
32:37He also personally signed the request to strip Lydia of noble immunity.
32:43But I knew the person he truly wanted to punish was not Lydia.
32:47It was himself.
32:50That night, Kane held a live public hearing.
32:54In front of the camera, he did not wear clan formulaire.
32:57He only wore a blood-stained white shirt.
33:00His right hand was still wrapped in bandages.
33:07I am Kane White Lion.
33:09The whole internet went quiet.
33:13First, the four cubs in Evelyn Hart's belly are all my biological blood.
33:19Second, Evelyn never betrayed me.
33:24The claim that she slept with a stray alpha was forged by Lydia Gray.
33:29She bribed the clinic, switched samples, altered pheromone records, and tried to murder a pregnant Omega.
33:37He paused for a second and looked into the camera.
33:42Third, I believed false evidence.
33:46I broke the bond with my own hands.
33:48And I tried to make her leave with one hundred million dollars.
33:55She did not take it.
33:59The room went silent.
34:01Kane's voice dropped lower.
34:06She did not take my money.
34:09I was the one who thought money could deal with a person I had hurt.
34:14I once called the cubs in her belly, unknown in front of others.
34:21I hurt her.
34:24I also hurt my cubs.
34:26At this point, his voice finally shook.
34:29Evelyn, I'm sorry.
34:31Camera flashes kept going off.
34:34Kane did not stop.
34:36From today on, the White Lion clan permanently gives up any forced custody claim over the four cubs.
34:41Any elder, clan member, or outside force who tries to reach them through Evelyn will be treated as my enemy.
34:48The elders objected on the spot.
34:50You have no right to give up the heirs!
34:53Kane looked at them.
34:58Then I give up my position as clan leader.
35:01The whole room went silent.
35:05I watched the broadcast from my hospital room.
35:08My eyes stang.
35:11But I did not cry.
35:15Kane had finally dragged himself into the fire.
35:18But I was not the person sitting in the audience, clapping for him.
35:23After the broadcast, he came to my door.
35:26Evelyn, I've dealt with the Grey family.
35:28I also withdrew the elders' request.
35:34I closed my eyes.
35:36Kane, you can be their father.
35:40He suddenly looked up.
35:41I opened my eyes and looked at him.
35:44But you do not deserve to be my alpha again.
35:49On the day Kane signed the maternal rights agreement, all the elders were present.
35:54My lawyer drafted the agreement.
35:57Custody of the four cubs belonged to me.
36:00Medical decisions belonged to me.
36:02Education decisions belonged to me.
36:04My regulation income, future clinic income, and all my personal assets had nothing to do with the White Lions.
36:13Cain could only visit the cubs at times I allowed.
36:15If he ever forced a mark on me again, pressured me with ferrimans, watched me, controlled me, or allowed the
36:22Klan to interfere with me and the cubs,
36:23I had the right to leave North American Klan territory with them.
36:26He would have to give up all claims forever.
36:29The last clause was this.
36:30Kane could not offer me private compensation in any form, unless a court ruled it was legal child support.
36:36And that money had to go into a supervised account for the cubs.
36:39It could not affect my personal choices.
36:42The elders' faces were dark with anger.
36:44This is not an agreement.
36:46This is handing the White Lion heirs to an outsider.
36:51Cain picked up the pen.
36:53She is not an outsider.
36:55The elder snapped.
36:57Cain, you will lose the Klan's support!
37:00Cain did not look up.
37:02Then I'll lose it.
37:05He signed his name.
37:07Then he sealed it with a silver mane blood oath.
37:10Once the blood oath was made, it could not be broken.
37:14I looked at the silver mark.
37:15My chest tightened a little.
37:17But I still said nothing.
37:19Cain pushed the agreement to me.
37:21Now the choice is yours.
37:23I put the agreement away.
37:25This is only what you should have done.
37:27He said softly.
37:29I know.
37:31In the 34th week of pregnancy, I went into early labor.
37:35That day, Vancouver was hit by heavy rain.
37:38The medical wing was filled with hurried footsteps.
37:41I was pushed into the operating area.
37:44Cain was so bad that I almost lost consciousness.
37:46Cain followed all the way to the door.
37:48His face was pale.
37:50The chief doctor stopped him.
37:51Mr. White Lion, this is a premature quadruplet delivery.
37:56The mother has a high risk of severe bleeding.
38:00If an extreme situation happens, we need authorization on who to save first.
38:05The hallway went dead silent.
38:07Four silver manned airs.
38:09The bloodline the White Lions had waited a hundred years for.
38:13I lay on the moving bed and looked at Cain.
38:16This time, I wanted to know what he would choose.
38:20Cain did not hesitate.
38:23Evelyn.
38:24Even if we may not be able to save all the cubs?
38:28Cain closed his eyes.
38:29When he opened them again, they were bloodshot.
38:33Yes.
38:34Save Evelyn Hart first.
38:40He took out his phone and called his assistant.
38:44Cancel the clan succession confirmation ceremony.
38:48Cancel the northern mining rite signing.
38:50I will cover all losses with my personal assets.
38:54His assistant seemed to shout something on the other end.
38:57Cain's voice was rusky but firm.
38:59I said cancel it!
39:00He ended the call and walked to my side.
39:04He did not dare touch me.
39:07He only said quietly,
39:11Evelyn, you have to live.
39:13My tears finally fell.
39:16He put me before the White Lion bloodline.
39:19But we had taken such a painful road to get here.
39:23The surgery light stayed on for 13 hours.
39:27When I woke up, Cain was sitting by my bed.
39:30He held my hand.
39:32His eyes were red, as if he had not slept all night.
39:36When he saw me open my eyes, his whole body froze.
39:39Then he lowered his head.
39:41He pressed his forehead to the back of my hand.
39:44His shoulders trembled.
39:46Evelyn, you're awake.
39:48My throat was terribly Ross.
39:51The cubs?
39:53He looked up at once.
39:55They're all safe.
39:56Three silver-manned alphas and one silver-marked omega.
40:00They were born early, but they're stable.
40:03I closed my eyes.
40:04Tears slid from the corners.
40:07Cain wiped them away from me.
40:09His touch was so gentle, it was almost humble.
40:11Don't cry.
40:12The doctor said you can't get emotional.
40:15The doctor came in soon to check on me.
40:17She looked at me with a serious expression.
40:19Miss Hart, we confirmed your bloodline.
40:22You are not an ordinary moon fox.
40:25You are a moon blood omega.
40:27Your pheromones can repair the silver-manned white lion bloodline.
40:31The four cubs survived not only because of medicine.
40:36They survived because of you.
40:39The room went quiet.
40:41Cain looked at me.
40:43His eyes were full of regret.
40:45So I didn't give you compensation.
40:47His voice was very low.
40:49You saved the white lions.
40:51I looked at him calmly.
40:53Then you should understand even more.
40:57My value does not come from the white lions.
41:01Cain said softly.
41:03I understand.
41:04I already rejected the 100 million dollars.
41:07I know.
41:09Don't ever bring up compensation again.
41:12All right.
41:13The cubs will have my last name.
41:15When they grow up, they can decide for themselves whether to join the white lions.
41:21Cain was silent for one second.
41:24All right.
41:25You can be their father.
41:28But we will not renew the mate bond right away.
41:31His eyes dimmed.
41:32But he still said softly.
41:36I'll wait.
41:41I looked at him.
41:43The old cain white lion never waited.
41:46He only ordered, possessed, and arranged.
41:50But now, he sat beside my hospital bed.
41:54Even when he held my hand, he was careful.
41:57I did not pull my hand away.
42:00But I did not respond either.
42:02Some wounds cannot heal because of one right choice.
42:07Cain understood.
42:08Cain understood.
42:09So, he no longer begged me to forgive him.
42:12He only stayed by the nursery every day.
42:17He learned how to change swaddles.
42:20He learned how to make milk.
42:22He learned how to soothe the cubs to sleep.
42:25The silver manned alpha who once made the North American Beastman Council wary was now being worn down by four
42:31cubs.
42:33His shirt was messy.
42:38There were dark shadows under his eyes.
42:41But he never showed any impatience.
42:43The nurse smiled and said,
42:45Mr. White Lion really looks like a new father.
42:48I looked at him through the glass.
42:50No.
42:51The nurse froze.
42:52I said softly,
42:54He's atoning.
42:55One year later,
42:57I founded the Moonbreath Omega Protection Fund.
43:00Its headquarters were in Vancouver.
43:02It helped Omegas oppressed by clan bonds.
43:05It helped Omegas hurt by alpha pheromones.
43:08It helped Omegas forced to give up their cubs.
43:10The startup money did not come from Cain.
43:13It came from my pheromone regulation patent licensing fees.
43:16It came from Protection Agency Project Awards.
43:18It came from the money I earned that year by taking high-risk regulation cases.
43:23I built the fund on my own.
43:25Later, the White Lions offered to donate.
43:28I rejected them three times.
43:31The fourth time,
43:33Cain did not come in his own name.
43:35He had White Lion Holdings join the public's rigid charity bidding process.
43:40Just like every other company,
43:42they had to accept audits.
43:44They had to make the use of funds public.
43:48They could not choose the beneficiaries.
43:50Only then did I agree.
43:53I was not accepting his compensation.
43:56I was making the White Lions pay for the clan system they had once protected.
44:03The four cubs had my last name.
44:07The oldest was most like Cain.
44:10Quiet, but strong.
44:12The second loved to laugh.
44:14No matter who held him,
44:16he reached out.
44:17The third clung to me.
44:18He fell asleep as soon as he smelled my moon fox pheromones.
44:22A thoughtful observer.
44:28Little four had been the weakest at birth.
44:31Now, she was the best at making trouble for Cain.
44:37Cain visited every week according to the agreement.
44:41He was never late.
44:42He never crossed the line.
44:44During that year, Cain never stopped pursuing me.
44:48But his pursuit was no longer houses, shares, or things I did not want.
44:53He began to learn what I truly needed.
44:56When the fund was first boy-odded by several high-rank clans,
45:00he stepped forward.
45:02He publicly declared that White Lion Holdings would never work with companies that oppressed Omegas.
45:11I did not thank him,
45:13because that was not helping me.
45:16That was what he should have done.
45:19One night,
45:20little four had a fever.
45:21Cain flew from Seattle to Vancouver.
45:24He only waited outside the door for my permission.
45:27When I opened it,
45:29he was holding the comfort blanket the cubs usually used.
45:32His eyes were full of red veins.
45:36Can I come in?
45:38He asked.
45:39The old Cain would never ask.
45:41He would push the door open and take over everything.
45:44I looked at him for a long time.
45:46Then I stepped aside.
45:48That night,
45:49little four had a fever until dawn.
45:52Cain held her by the window.
45:53He changed the cold tappel more than a dozen times.
45:57At daybreak,
45:59little four's fever went down.
46:01But his hands were still shaking.
46:09You can sleep for a while.
46:14I don't dare.
46:15His voice was very soft.
46:17He looked down at the cub in his arms.
46:19I did not ask what he did not dare to do.
46:23Did he not dare sleep?
46:25Or did he not dare lose again?
46:28Some answers no longer needed to be spoken.
46:33Later,
46:34when the oldest cub called him Daddy for the first time,
46:37Cain stood frozen for a long while.
46:40The cub could not speak clearly yet.
46:42It was only a blurry little sound.
46:45But Cain's eyes turned red.
46:47I watched him crouch down and hold the cub.
46:50Even then,
46:50he looked at me first.
46:52He wanted to make sure I did not refuse.
46:54In that moment,
46:55I suddenly felt that Cain really had changed.
46:58But change did not erase the past.
47:00On little four's first birthday night,
47:02the cubs fell asleep.
47:05Cain stood by the lake
47:07and handed me a new mate bond contract.
47:09This time,
47:10the contract had not been drafted by the White Lions.
47:12He had written it himself.
47:14There were no limits.
47:16No control.
47:17No clan clauses.
47:19Only one sentence.
47:20Evelyn Hart has the right to leave at any time.
47:23Cain White Lion has the lifelong duty
47:25to wait for her to turn back.
47:27I looked at it for a long time.
47:29Cain's voice was low and harny.
47:32I'm not asking you to sign it today.
47:34I'm not asking you to forgive the past.
47:37I just want you to know
47:39that I am still here.
47:41The wind blew from the lake.
47:43It carried the damp chill of a Vancouver night.
47:47I closed the contract.
47:50Cain,
47:50do you know when I hated you most?
47:54He looked at me.
47:55His face turned a little pale.
47:58It wasn't the day you broke the bond.
48:01It was after you found out the cubs were yours.
48:06The first thing you asked was why I wanted to run.
48:09His eyes slowly reddened.
48:11Because that was when I understood.
48:14Even then, you were only thinking about what you had lost.
48:18You still did not think about why I had to escape.
48:22Cain lowered his head.
48:25I know.
48:27I looked at him.
48:30And now?
48:33He lifted his eyes.
48:36His voice was very soft.
48:39Now I know.
48:42You weren't running away from me.
48:45You were saving yourself.
48:47Cain,
48:49Do you think I left you because I was being difficult?
48:53He shook his head.
48:55No.
48:57Then what was it?
49:01He looked at me.
49:03A whole year of regret sat in his eyes.
49:07I forced you to run.
49:11I finally took the contract.
49:13I did not sign it.
49:14But I took it.
49:16After a long while, I handed it back to him.
49:19The light in Cain's eyes dimmed.
49:21But he still reached out and took it.
49:23Rewrite it.
49:24He froze.
49:26I looked at him calmly.
49:27This one is too humble.
49:28I don't need an alpha on his knees.
49:30I don't need someone who spends his whole life atoning.
49:33Cain's fingers trembled slightly.
49:35I went on.
49:35If there is a next contract, I want equality, freedom, and respect.
49:39I want you to remember this.
49:41I am not the Moon Fox bloodline.
49:43I am not just the mother of four cubs.
49:45I am not a tool that saved the White Lions.
49:48I am Evelyn.
49:49His eyes turned fully red.
49:52All right.
49:53I turned and walked toward the house.
49:55Behind me, Cain called softly.
49:57Evelyn.
49:58I stopped.
49:59Do I still have a chance?
50:00I did not turn back.
50:02Depends on how you behave.
50:04Little four's cry came from inside the house.
50:06Cain immediately passed me and went skillerfully to the nursery.
50:08I stood where I was.
50:09I listened to him soothing the cub in a low voice.
50:12Then I smiled softly.
50:13This was not the story of a silver-manned White Lion saving a Moon Fox Omega.
50:17This was my story.
50:18I carried four cubs and escaped from a public humiliation.
50:20I took my life back with my own hands.
50:22As for Cain White Lion,
50:23his road of atonement was not over.
50:25But at last I was willing to leave a light on for him.
50:27I took my life back with my own hand.
50:28And Iγγ
50:30I gave up a movie of a man.
50:30So save my life.
50:31You didn't care whether you didn't have a intestinal ties.
