00:00Ten minutes before the binding ceremony began, my own brother, Rowan, crossed my name off the list.
00:05He filled in my mate bond with someone else's name.
00:08Kale.
00:08The Alpha King's disgraced eldest son.
00:11Three years ago, after the border war, his wolf's hole had been damaged.
00:16Ever since then, he had been plagued by sickness and pain, and his temper had turned so violent that no
00:21one dared get close to him.
00:23Everyone in the kingdom called him a madman.
00:26Across the entire northern kingdom, not a single she-wolf was willing to marry him.
00:30I looked at the name on the parchment.
00:33The black ink had not even dried.
00:35Rowan, I'm asking you one last time.
00:38Are you sure you want to do this?
00:42Selina, Mira cried all night.
00:45She was raised to be the future Luna Queen.
00:47Then you came back, and suddenly the marriage alliance that was supposed to be hers had to go to you
00:51instead.
00:52Do the sensible thing. Let her have this.
00:54Mom, Dad, and I will find you a more suitable mate later.
00:59I almost laughed.
01:00A more suitable mate.
01:02So in his eyes, the king's sick, violent eldest son was just a lesson they could throw me into until
01:08Mira stopped crying.
01:10Fine.
01:10But you'll regret this.
01:16The bell in the hall rang.
01:18The bonding ceremony began.
01:23I followed Rowan into the royal hall.
01:26Mira sat beside Damon in an ice-white gown, her eyes red, as if she had just suffered the greatest
01:32wrong in the world.
01:34When she saw me, she bit her lip lightly and leaned closer to Damon.
01:39Damon lifted a hand to shield her.
01:43The way he looked at me made me feel like a problem that should never have existed.
01:46I walked down the red carpet and knelt on one knee before the ceremonial platform.
01:50The royal elder's voice fell over my head.
01:53Selina, daughter of the Alpha of Moonstone Pack,
01:57willingly accepts Kale, the king's eldest son, as her mate.
01:59For one breath, the entire hall went dead silent.
02:03Then the whispers spread like a tide.
02:06Kale?
02:07The madman from Pinewood residence?
02:09Rowan is ruthless.
02:11He actually sent his own sister to that kind of man.
02:14I heard Kale even attacks physicians when he loses control.
02:16How many days can she survive?
02:18Under everyone's gaze, I accepted the bonding crown.
02:24I accept.
02:27The pitiful look on Mira's face frozen.
02:30Rowan finally panicked.
02:32He stepped forward and lowered his voice.
02:35Selina, stop making trouble.
02:36I only wanted to cheer Mira up.
02:39Are you crazy?
02:41How could you actually agree to it?
02:45I did not look at him.
02:48On the high seat, the Alpha King frowned.
02:55Selina, the marriage alliance between Moonstone Pack and the royal family has stood for years.
03:00Today's change to the list was only an accident.
03:02You are the heir of Moonstone Pack.
03:04You should complete the mate bond with Damon.
03:06Before he could finish, Damon had already risen to his feet.
03:08Father, I will not marry her.
03:10The hall went quiet.
03:11Damon took Mira's hand and looked at me without the slightest shame.
03:15How could I possibly take an untrained country bumper as my mate?
03:19Damon, don't say that.
03:21Selina will be hurt.
03:23I'm only telling the truth.
03:25Then he turned to me as if he were tossing scraps to a stray dog.
03:30Selina, out of pity, I can allow you into the palace.
03:34You won't be my mate.
03:36But you can stay by Mira's side as a lowly maid.
03:40Serve her.
03:41Serve me too.
03:43Rowan visibly relaxed.
03:45My parents looked as if they had finally found a way out.
03:51Everyone thought I would accept that so-called mercy.
03:58No.
04:00What did you say?
04:05I said no.
04:11Selina, I know you hate me.
04:13But Damon only wanted to give you a way out.
04:16Why do you have to make this so ugly?
04:18I'm not the ugly one here.
04:20I looked at the ice white gown she was wearing.
04:22A stolen position doesn't become yours just because you dress it up.
04:26Enough!
04:27Apologize to Mira!
04:29Don't force me to humiliate you here.
04:33You already have.
04:37Rowan's face went pale.
04:38My mother finally could not hold back anymore.
04:40She stood up.
04:41Selina, you've only been back in Moonpenpack for two years.
04:44and you're already tearing this family apart.
04:47Mira is our adopted daughter.
04:49Her father died fighting for the pack.
04:50We owe her!
04:51Why do you have to fight her over everything?
04:54Did I fight her?
04:59You were the ones who brought me back
05:01and told me I was the heir of Moonstone Pack.
05:04You were also the ones who said
05:06the royal marriage alliance had to be completed by the heir.
05:09Now Mira cries
05:10and suddenly I'm the one who came back too soon.
05:12No one in the hall spoke.
05:14Your Majesty,
05:14Selina accepted the bonding crown in public.
05:17Under royal law,
05:18a pledge made before the court
05:19cannot be taken back on a whim.
05:26Then let her marry Kale.
05:28When he scares her
05:30until she comes crawling back on her knees,
05:32we can talk.
05:33Selina,
05:34don't be stubborn.
05:35Kale is truly terrifying.
05:37I heard that last month
05:39a physician merely touched his medicine bowl
05:41and he grabbed the man by the throat
05:44and threw him out.
05:45Her voice was not loud,
05:47but it was loud enough
05:48for everyone nearby to hear.
05:50The whispers rose again.
05:52I only asked Rowan one question.
05:56Is this the result you wanted?
05:59It's just a lesson.
06:01Once you learn what fear feels like,
06:03you'll understand that we're doing this
06:05for your own good.
06:08For my own good?
06:11Then don't regret it.
06:14After we returned
06:15to the Moonstone Pack residence,
06:17my mother ordered the doors shut.
06:18Then she raised her hand
06:20and slapped me.
06:22My ears rang.
06:24Do you know how many people
06:26laughed at Mira
06:27because of you today?
06:29I wiped the blood
06:30from the corner of my mouth.
06:35You should ask him
06:36why he changed the list.
06:41You're still trying
06:42to push this onto me?
06:43Enough!
06:45Tomorrow morning,
06:46you will go to Pinewood residence.
06:49After you marry Kale,
06:50don't come back
06:51and disgrace Moonstone Pack again.
06:54Selina,
06:54if you admit you were wrong now,
06:56I can plead for you.
06:58I ignored her.
07:00Damon's ceremony
07:01to name his future
07:02Lunar Queen
07:03is coming up.
07:04Since you don't want
07:05to be his lowly maid,
07:07you should at least
07:07come and watch.
07:09After all,
07:10that was supposed
07:11to be your place.
07:16At dawn the next day,
07:18I was sent
07:19to Pinewood residence.
07:20When the butler
07:21led me into the front hall,
07:23a physician had just
07:24retreated from inside.
07:25There were red marks
07:26on his neck.
07:27His medical case
07:28had fallen open
07:29and bottles were rolling
07:30all over the floor.
07:31Miss Selina,
07:32don't go near
07:33His Highness' medication
07:34and don't touch him.
07:37I had not come here
07:38to comfort Kale
07:38and I certainly
07:40had not come
07:40to clean up
07:41another man's mess.
07:42But the person
07:43behind the door
07:43suddenly spoke,
07:44his voice hurried
07:45and cold.
07:47She's here.
07:48Let her in.
07:50Let her in.
08:02You're the she-wolf
08:03who agreed in public
08:04to marry me?
08:06Yes.
08:09Do you regret it?
08:11Not yet.
08:13The corner of his mouth
08:14moved almost like a smile,
08:15yet not quite.
08:16The whole kingdom avoids me.
08:18You're bold.
08:19I'm not bold.
08:21I just don't want to go back
08:22and serve Damon and Mira
08:23as a lowly maid.
08:24Only then did Kale
08:25truly look at me.
08:28So you're using me
08:29as your way out?
08:30You can think of it
08:31that way.
08:35I smelled that sharp,
08:37bitter herb.
08:38It was not medicine
08:39meant to heal him.
08:40It was an herb
08:42used to suppress
08:42a wolf soul.
08:43I glanced at it
08:45but said nothing.
08:47Moonstone Pack
08:47has sent something
08:49for Miss Selina.
08:50Just then,
08:51a maid's voice
08:52came from outside the door.
08:57Miss Mira said
08:58tomorrow is the ceremony
08:59for her to become
09:00the future Luna Queen.
09:02Since Miss Selina
09:03has never learned
09:04royal editict,
09:05you should begin
09:06with the simplest task.
09:07Please wear this uniform,
09:09hand her cloak
09:10to her in public,
09:11and then read this blessing.
09:13I unrolled the parchment.
09:15It was not a blessing.
09:16It was a declaration
09:17giving up my inheritance.
09:19At the bottom,
09:20someone had already
09:22signed my name for me.
09:23In the witness column,
09:25the name written there
09:26was Rowan.
09:28Who told you
09:29to bring this?
09:31Naturally, Miss Mira.
09:35Then tell her this.
09:36Tomorrow at the ceremony,
09:38I'll read it myself.
09:43They're trying to force you
09:44to validate
09:44a forged declaration
09:46in public.
09:49Do you need me
09:49to stop the ceremony
09:50for you?
09:51No.
09:52If she wants that seat,
09:53let her sit on it.
09:55The higher she climbs,
09:56the harder she'll fall.
10:00The next day,
10:01the royal hall
10:02was even livelier
10:02than it had been
10:03during the binding ceremony.
10:04When I walked in
10:05wearing my own black dress,
10:06the whispers beneath
10:07the platform stopped
10:08for a moment.
10:08Someone laughed.
10:09Why isn't she wearing
10:10the maid uniform?
10:11Selina,
10:12I thought you would be
10:13a little more obedient.
10:14After all,
10:15today is very important to me.
10:17The fact that you're allowed
10:18to appear here
10:18is already proof
10:19of Miraov's kindness.
10:21Don't make trouble again.
10:22I ignored him
10:23and walked straight
10:24onto the platform.
10:25The royal elder
10:25was about to read
10:26the ceremonial vows
10:27when Mira suddenly
10:28reached out
10:29and grabbed my wrist.
10:31Selina,
10:32yesterday you said
10:33you would read
10:34the blessing yourself.
10:35Everyone is waiting.
10:37Below the platform,
10:38Rowan stood beside
10:39our parents.
10:40The moment he saw
10:41the declaration,
10:41he visibly relaxed.
10:42He thought I would be afraid,
10:44afraid of tearing
10:44everything open public,
10:46afraid of disappointing
10:46my parents,
10:47afraid of Damon's disgust.
10:49I, Selina,
10:50daughter of the Alpha
10:51of Moonstone Pack,
10:52voluntarily give up
10:53my stasis as heir
10:54and acknowledge that
10:55Mira is better
10:56suited to become
10:57the future Luna Queen.
10:59Soft gasps sounded
11:00throughout the hall.
11:01Mira lowered her eyes,
11:02as if my generosity
11:04had moved her beyond words.
11:05Damon's expression
11:06also eased,
11:07and I am willing
11:08to serve Mira and Damon
11:09for life as a lowerly maid.
11:11I continued reading.
11:12That's too cruel.
11:14She really signed it?
11:15At last,
11:16someone could not
11:16help whispering.
11:18Selina,
11:19thank you for letting
11:19me have this.
11:21Don't rush.
11:25The bottom of this declaration
11:26there is my name.
11:29I looked at Rowan
11:30and yours.
11:32Rowan,
11:33as the witness,
11:35do you confirm
11:36that I signed
11:37this voluntarily?
11:40Every gaze in the hall
11:41fell on him.
11:43Selina,
11:44stop throwing a tantrum here.
11:45Didn't you already
11:46agree last night?
11:47Last night?
11:48I was at Pinewood
11:50Residence last night.
11:52I never saw you.
11:54A little color
11:55dreamed of Rowan's face.
11:57Maybe the messenger
11:58got it wrong.
12:01Selina,
12:02don't blame Rowan.
12:03The messenger
12:03is outside.
12:12The moment
12:13the maid
12:14saw so many people,
12:15her legs
12:16nearly gave up.
12:18who gave you
12:19this declaration
12:19yesterday.
12:21She did not dare
12:22look at Mira.
12:24Instead,
12:25she looked at Rowan.
12:28Why are you
12:28looking at me?
12:29With a thut,
12:30the maid fell
12:31to her knees.
12:32It was Mr. Rowan.
12:33He said that as long
12:35as Miss Elia read it
12:36at the ceremony,
12:37Miss Mira would
12:37smoothly become
12:38the future Luna Queen.
12:39The entire hall
12:41erupted.
12:42Mira's face
12:42went completely white.
12:47Mira began to cry.
12:49This time,
12:49her tears came
12:50faster than ever.
12:51I didn't know.
12:52I really didn't know.
12:54Rowan said
12:54was so willing
12:55to help me
12:55so I believed him.
12:56She threw herself
12:57toward Damon,
12:58trying to grab his sleeve.
12:59Damon stepped back.
13:00It was only one small step,
13:01but everyone saw it.
13:02Mira's hand froze
13:04in mid-air.
13:07Mira,
13:08how can you say that?
13:10Last night,
13:11you were the one
13:11who said that.
13:12As long as Selina
13:13read the declaration,
13:14Damon would officially
13:15acknowledge you.
13:15I was only too scared.
13:17The moment Selina
13:19came back,
13:20everyone said
13:21she was the real heir
13:22of Moonstone Pack.
13:25I had nothing left.
13:27I only wanted
13:28to keep Damon.
13:30My mother took
13:30a step forward,
13:31clearly aching for her.
13:32Mira,
13:34are you going
13:35to plead for her?
13:36So many Pack
13:37representatives were watching.
13:38No matter how
13:40biased she was,
13:41she did not dare say
13:42that forging a declaration
13:43was not wrong.
13:46Rowan,
13:47did you do this?
13:48Rowan looked
13:49as if he had been cornered.
13:51I only wanted Mira
13:52to feel less upset.
13:53Selina has already
13:54married Kale.
13:55What use does she have
13:57for the heir's title now?
13:59So in his eyes,
14:01after I had been
14:02sent to Kale,
14:03a man everyone avoided,
14:05I no longer deserve
14:07to own anything.
14:10forging a declaration
14:11to force the heir
14:12to surrender her status
14:14and reduce
14:15the Alpha's daughter
14:16to a maid
14:17is an insult
14:18to the old alliance.
14:20Damon finally spoke.
14:21This has nothing
14:22to do with me.
14:23Mira snapped
14:24her head toward him.
14:25Damon did not
14:26look at her.
14:27I did not know
14:28the declaration
14:28was forged.
14:30If I had known,
14:31I would never have allowed
14:31such a thing
14:32to appear at the ceremony.
14:34Mira looked at him
14:35as if she was seeing him
14:36for the first time.
14:37Damon,
14:38that isn't what you said
14:40yesterday.
14:44Shut up.
14:48The ceremony
14:49was forced to stop.
14:51Damon turned to leave,
14:52but I stepped
14:53into his path.
14:56Apologize.
14:57What did you say?
14:58You said I had never
15:00received proper training.
15:02You called me
15:03a country brumpen.
15:04You said I was only fit
15:05to be a lowly maid.
15:08Now apologize.
15:11Selina,
15:12don't push your luck.
15:13Then let the royal elder
15:15write it down.
15:16The royal heir refused
15:17to apologize
15:18after humiliating
15:19the heir of Moonstone Pack.
15:21The elder really lifted
15:22his pen.
15:23Damon's expression changed.
15:24Mira wanted to speak,
15:25but he glared at her
15:26so fiercely
15:27that she froze.
15:28In the end,
15:29he clenched his draw
15:29and forced out a sentence
15:31between his teeth.
15:32I'm sorry.
15:33To whom?
15:35The veins on the back
15:36of Damon's hand
15:37stood out
15:38was terrifyingly quiet.
15:39At last,
15:40he lowered his head.
15:44To Selina.
15:46It was the first time
15:47he had ever bowed
15:48his head to me
15:48in front of everyone.
15:49I did not accept it.
15:51I only picked up
15:52the forged declaration,
15:54tore it in half,
15:54and threw it
15:55at Mira's feet.
15:56Next time you try
15:57to steal my place,
15:59remember to find
15:59someone smarter
16:00to help you.
16:01Just then,
16:02a suppressed cough
16:03came from outside
16:04the doors.
16:05Kale stood at the entrance,
16:06wrapped in a black coat.
16:07His face was pale,
16:09but his eyes were cold enough
16:10to make people shrink back.
16:11He was clearly very ill,
16:13yet he had still
16:14forced himself to come.
16:15He looked at Damon.
16:16Even your apology
16:17has to be forced
16:18out of you.
16:20And you think you're fit
16:21to be the royal heir?
16:26Kale,
16:27can your body
16:28even handle this?
16:29Don't lose control here.
16:31Mira,
16:31as if she had finally
16:32found an opening,
16:33immediately retreated
16:34behind Damon.
16:35His Highness Kale
16:36looks very unwell.
16:37Selina,
16:38why did you bring him out?
16:39What if he loses control
16:40and hurts someone?
16:41Her voice was not loud,
16:42but the she-wolves
16:43in the hall
16:43all began backing away.
16:45Kale's rumors
16:45were too terrifying.
16:47Everyone feared him.
16:48I looked at Mira.
16:49You were just crying
16:50and claiming you knew nothing.
16:52Now you still have
16:53the energy to worry
16:53about whether
16:54he'll lose control.
16:55Mira's gaze flickered.
16:56Very soon,
16:57her maid came over
16:58carrying a cup
16:59of medisicated wine.
17:00Your Highness,
17:00the Luna Queen
17:01asked the physician
17:02to send this.
17:03She said it would help
17:04stabilize your wolf soul.
17:05I smelled that
17:06familiar herbal bitterness.
17:07It was the same scent
17:08as the medicine bowl
17:09at Pinewood Residence.
17:10Selina,
17:11didn't you say
17:12you understood medicine?
17:13Then you should
17:14let Kale drink it.
17:15You can't expect
17:16everyone here
17:16to risk themselves with him.
17:17She made it sound
17:18so reasonable.
17:19If Kale refused to drink,
17:20then he was dangerous.
17:21If Kale drank
17:22and lost control,
17:23they could still blame it
17:24on his madness.
17:26What are you trying
17:26to do now?
17:28If this medicine
17:29stabilizes a wolf soul,
17:32anyone can drink it,
17:33right?
17:34I handed the cup
17:36to the guard
17:36standing behind Damon.
17:38You,
17:39drink it.
17:41That is for Kale.
17:43so no one else
17:44can drink it.
17:47Then what is it exactly?
17:49Medicine
17:49or something
17:50that only works
17:51on Kale?
17:54Mira's lips
17:55turned pale.
17:58The people below
17:59the platform
17:59heard the flaw
18:00in Mira's logic too.
18:01Damon was cornered
18:02so he could only
18:03give the guard a nod.
18:04The guard drank
18:05the medicated wine.
18:06At first,
18:07he only frowned.
18:08Soon,
18:08his eyes went blood shut,
18:10his claws extended
18:11uncontrollably,
18:12and a pain and growl
18:13tore from his throat.
18:13The next second,
18:14he lunged at a nearby attendant.
18:17Screams imploded.
18:19A serving tray
18:20crashed to the floor,
18:21and wine splashed
18:23across the red carpet.
18:25Several guards
18:26rushed forward
18:26and barely managed
18:27to pin him down.
18:33Explain.
18:36Mira's face
18:37changed completely.
18:39I don't know.
18:40I didn't prepare that.
18:41Your maid delivered it.
18:43She was bought by you!
18:47Was the maid
18:48who delivered
18:48the Forge declaration
18:49yesterday
18:50bought by me too?
18:52Mira had no answer.
18:54The way Damon
18:54looked at her
18:55had already changed.
18:56He finally realized
18:58that if he continued
18:58protecting her today,
19:00he would also be drained
19:01to discuss
19:01this medicated Jew.
19:03Damon turned to Mira.
19:04Mira,
19:06you've disappointed me.
19:08Mira looked as if
19:09someone had slapped her
19:10in public.
19:11Damon,
19:11you can't do this to me.
19:13The medicated wine
19:14wasn't only my idea.
19:16Damon shook her off.
19:17Take her away.
19:18The pleading in Mira's eyes
19:19turned into terror.
19:21You're pushing me out
19:22as the scapegoat?
19:26By the time Mira
19:27was dragged into
19:28the side hall
19:28of the royal city,
19:29the hem of her gown
19:30was already filthy.
19:31She struggled
19:32and cried Damon's name.
19:33Damon finally came,
19:34but he had not come
19:35to save her.
19:36Admit that you prepared
19:37the medicated wine.
19:39As long as you confess,
19:40I'll keep you alive.
19:42You want me to take
19:43the blame alone?
19:44Damon did not answer.
19:46Silence was his answer.
19:47Mira suddenly laughed.
19:49She laughed
19:49until tears fell
19:50from her eyes.
19:51Damon,
19:52and you're ruthless.
19:53Yesterday you said
19:54that once I became
19:54the future Luna Queen,
19:56Selina would only be able
19:57to kneel at my feet.
20:00Now that something
20:01has happened,
20:02you want me to confess alone?
20:04Stop talking nonsense.
20:07Nonsense.
20:08Mira lifted her hand
20:09and wiped away her tears.
20:11At last,
20:12there was no more weakness
20:13in her eyes.
20:15That cup of medicated wine
20:17was sent by your mother's people.
20:19She said that as long
20:20as Kale lost control
20:21in front of everyone,
20:22you could lock him back
20:23inside Pinewood Residation
20:25for good.
20:26By then,
20:27who would dare say
20:28he had once been more suited
20:30to inherit than you?
20:32Shut up!
20:33You knew too.
20:34You always knew.
20:35Mira's face flushed
20:37from lack of air,
20:38but she was still laughing.
20:40Footsteps came
20:41from outside the door.
20:43Damon froze.
20:44The side door
20:45of the hall
20:45was pushed open.
20:49The Alpha King
20:50stood at the entrance.
20:51Behind him
20:52was the reigning
20:52Luna Queen,
20:53her face paper white.
20:54Kale stood on the other side,
20:56one hand braced
20:56against the doorpane,
20:57his lips almost bloodless.
20:59He had not appeared
20:59by accident.
21:00The moment the medicated
21:01jaw caused trouble
21:02in the hall,
21:03he had asked the butler
21:03to summon the Alpha King.
21:05Damon's hand
21:06was still around
21:06Mira's throat.
21:08And Mira had just
21:09personally named
21:10the reigning Luna Queen
21:11as the source of the wine.
21:13Every explanation
21:14came too late.
21:15The Alpha King's gaze
21:17settled on Damon.
21:19Let go.
21:24Your Majesty,
21:26Mira is agitated
21:27and speaking nonsense.
21:28She was jealous
21:29of Selina
21:30and wanted to harm Kale.
21:32This has nothing
21:33to do with Damon.
21:35Mira looked up at her.
21:36In that instant,
21:37she finally understood
21:38that she had been
21:39completely abandoned.
21:40She pulled a stack
21:41of crumpled letters
21:42from her clothes
21:43and hurled them
21:43onto the floor.
21:44Nothing to do with Damon?
21:45Who gave me
21:46these prescriptions?
21:47Who told me to send
21:48medicine into Pinewood Residence?
21:50Who said that as long
21:51as Kale stayed sick forever,
21:52Damon's position
21:53would never be shaken?
21:55The papers scattered
21:56everywhere.
21:57The reigning Luna Queen's
21:58face went corpse pole.
21:59Damon still wanted
22:00to speak,
22:01but Mira had already
22:02lunged over
22:02and grabbed his collar.
22:03You're saying
22:04you didn't know now?
22:05When you held me
22:06and called Selina
22:07a country bumper
22:08and why didn't you say
22:08you didn't know?
22:10Damon shoved her away.
22:12Do you all see it now?
22:13This is the royal heir
22:15you chose.
22:16Mira fell to the floor,
22:18blood bursting
22:18from the corner
22:19of her forehead.
22:23The side hall
22:24was so quiet
22:24that only Mira's
22:25breathing remained.
22:26The Alpha King
22:27bent down
22:28and picked up
22:28one of the letters.
22:29He only glanced
22:30at it once
22:30before his face
22:31turned terrifyingly dark.
22:33The letter contained
22:34more than a prescription.
22:35It also contained
22:36a single line.
22:37As long as Kale's
22:38wolf soul
22:39remains unstable,
22:41Damon's sixth position
22:42remains secure.
22:44The reigning
22:45Lunar Queen
22:45finally panicked.
22:47I only did it
22:47for the stability
22:48of the kingdom.
22:49Kale had already
22:50lost control back then.
22:51Everyone feared him.
22:52He was not fit
22:54to inherit the throne.
22:55Kale coughed once.
22:57He did not rage.
22:59He did not lunge forward
23:00to question her.
23:01So you drugged me
23:02for three years?
23:04The reigning
23:05Lunar Queen's
23:06lips moved.
23:07No words came out.
23:08The Alpha King
23:09looked at her.
23:10You told me
23:11it was medicine
23:12to heal him.
23:13I had no choice.
23:15Damon is my son.
23:17I couldn't watch him
23:18spend his whole life
23:20beneath Kale's shadow.
23:21The moment
23:22those words came out,
23:23Damon's face
23:23became even uglier
23:24because she was
23:25not saving him.
23:26She was admitting
23:26in public that
23:27his position
23:28had been secured
23:28by poison.
23:31Father,
23:32I didn't know
23:33anything about this.
23:34I was kept
23:35in the dark too.
23:37You didn't know?
23:39Then why did you
23:40tell me to confess
23:41just now
23:42instead of saying
23:42we should investigate?
23:45You were only afraid
23:47I would drag you
23:49down with me!
23:50Shut up!
23:59Shut up!
24:01You should be the one
24:03shutting up.
24:05It was the first time
24:06I spoke.
24:08Everyone looked at me.
24:09You say you didn't know
24:10about the drug.
24:11What about this declaration?
24:13Did you not know
24:14about this either?
24:15Damon's face stiffened.
24:17You waited during the ceremony
24:18for me to read it.
24:20You waited for me
24:21to admit with my own mouth
24:22that I deserved
24:23to be a lowly maid.
24:24You didn't know
24:25it was forged
24:26but you knew
24:26it would destroy me.
24:29I turned to the Alpha King.
24:33Your Majesty,
24:34this is Damon's
24:36so-called ceremony
24:37for the future
24:37Lunar Queen.
24:38A forged declaration
24:40of succession.
24:41An heir forced
24:42into servitude.
24:44Medicated wine
24:45meant to provoke
24:45the King's eldest son
24:46into losing control.
24:48Can a royal heir
24:49like this
24:50truly command
24:51the loyalty
24:51of the Pax?
24:52Selina!
24:54I did not look at him.
24:55The Alpha King
24:56closed his eyes.
24:57When he opened them again,
24:58his voice was cold enough
24:59to carry no warmth
25:00at all.
25:01From this day forward,
25:03Damon is stripped
25:03of his status
25:04as royal heir.
25:05Damon looked as if
25:06lightning had struck him.
25:07Father!
25:12Take him away.
25:13The guard stepped forward.
25:15Damon suddenly pointed
25:16at Mira.
25:17It was her!
25:17It was all her!
25:19She wanted to be
25:20the future Lunar Queen!
25:22She was jealous of Selina.
25:24She sent the Medicaid
25:25wine to Kale.
25:26Mira's eyes widened.
25:27I was deceived by her!
25:29The next second,
25:29she lunged at him
25:30and bit his arm.
25:31Now you say
25:32I deceived you?
25:33When you held me
25:34and cursed Selina,
25:35why didn't you say
25:36you were deceived then?
25:40The two of them
25:41tore at each other
25:42inside the side hall.
25:43Damon shoved Mira away.
25:49Mira fell to the floor
25:50then crawled up again
25:51and clawed at his face.
25:53The royal heir
25:55and the future Luna Queen
25:56everyone had once envied.
25:58When Rowan and my parents arrived,
26:00they happened to see that scene.
26:03Mira's hair was disrevelled
26:05and she was being held down
26:06by the guards.
26:08When she saw my mother,
26:10she cried.
26:11Mother, save me!
26:12You said I was your daughter!
26:16My mother instinctively
26:17took a step forward.
26:19My father grabbed her hard
26:20and held her back.
26:22The forged declaration,
26:24the changed list,
26:25the maid uniform.
26:29None of them could
26:30wash their hands of it.
26:31Rowan's face was deathly pale.
26:33At last, he looked at me.
26:39Selina, I only wanted
26:40to make Mira happy
26:41for a little while.
26:46Was she happy?
26:48Happiness at the expense
26:49of someone else's suffering
26:50isn't happiness.
26:51It's just spite.
26:54Vicious.
26:55Ugly spite.
26:57And it makes me sick.
26:59Rowan fell silent.
27:01He just stared at me,
27:02finally seeing that I was
27:03no longer the person
27:04he'd expected me to be.
27:07Damon had been the royal heir
27:09since childhood.
27:11Everyone who saw him
27:12had always lowered their heads.
27:14But that day,
27:15his hands were bound,
27:16his shoulders were pinned down
27:17by guards,
27:18and his wolf soul
27:19was suppressed so completely
27:20that he could not even
27:21break free.
27:22When Damon saw me,
27:23he suddenly stopped.
27:26Selina.
27:31The guards urged Damon to move,
27:33but he stared at me.
27:34I can restore your status.
27:36You were meant to stand beside me.
27:37As long as you speak up now,
27:38I'll have Father reconsider.
27:39He still had that tone,
27:40as if I were only throwing
27:41a tantrum,
27:42as if the moment he reached out
27:44I should return to him
27:45with Grative.
27:46I looked at him.
27:46Damon, do you still not understand?
27:48I'm not refusing to marry you
27:50because of Kale.
27:50I'm refusing because
27:52you are not good enough for me.
27:54Damon's face went pale
27:55inch by inch.
27:56Kale stood at my side.
27:57His face was still pale,
27:58but his fingers held
27:59my wrist steadily.
28:02Kale has been crippled
28:03for three years!
28:04What gives him the right
28:05to return?
28:08Because you poisoned me
28:09for three years
28:11and still couldn't kill me.
28:13After that,
28:14no one in the hall
28:15dared speak for Damon again.
28:16The guards dragged him forward.
28:20Damon looked back once,
28:22but no one bowed
28:23to him anymore.
28:24The pack representatives
28:25who had once praised him
28:26now stepped aside
28:27as if he were something dirty.
28:29For the first time,
28:31Damon saw the court
28:32from below.
28:34When Mira was dragged out,
28:36she looked as if her soul
28:37had been emptied.
28:38Mother, save me!
28:39You said that whether or not
28:41I was your biological daughter,
28:42I was still your daughter!
28:44My mother instinctively
28:45took one step forward.
28:47My father seized her arm.
28:48The representatives
28:49from every pack
28:50were watching.
28:51If they protected Mira now,
28:53Moonstone Pack
28:53would be dragged
28:54into the scandal
28:55of poisoning
28:56the king's eldest son.
28:57At last,
28:58my mother stopped.
28:59Mira understood.
29:00The pleading in her eyes
29:02turned into hatred.
29:03Now you don't want me anymore?
29:05Weren't you the ones
29:06who put the ceremonial crown
29:08on my head?
29:08Weren't you the ones
29:09who let me sit
29:10but decide Damon?
29:10Every time I cried,
29:12didn't you all say
29:12I was more like
29:13your real daughter?
29:14Shut up!
29:16You're afraid too!
29:18She was dragged away
29:19by the guards,
29:20her nails scraping
29:20across the floor
29:21with an ear-punching sound.
29:23Rowan stood nearby,
29:24his face ashen.
29:27When you crossed
29:28my name off the list,
29:29did you ever think
29:29about what would
29:30happen to me?
29:31He could not answer,
29:33so I answered for him.
29:34No.
29:35You only wanted
29:36Mira to be happy.
29:42Rowan's lips moved,
29:43but the words
29:43never came out.
29:46Three days later,
29:47Moonstone Pack
29:48held an elders meeting.
29:49I did not attend.
29:51The butler told me the news.
29:52Rowan's name had been
29:53crossed off the succession list.
29:56That list was hung
29:57in the most visible place
29:58in the ceremonial hall.
30:00Every member of Moonstone Pack
30:01could see it.
30:02He had once crossed out
30:03my name with his own hand.
30:05Now,
30:06he knew what it felt like
30:07to be crossed out.
30:09Rowan,
30:10by changing the royal bonding list
30:13without authority
30:14and witnessing
30:15a forged declaration,
30:16you have damaged
30:17Moonstone Pack's honor
30:19before the kingdom.
30:21Rowan stood beneath the list.
30:23His face had no color.
30:26I only wanted
30:27to calm Mira down.
30:28I never meant
30:29for it to become this serious.
30:30You did not think
30:32it was serious,
30:33because Selina
30:34was the one paying the price.
30:36The elders did not kill him.
30:38He was sent to the coldest patrol line
30:40outside the royal city.
30:41The wind there was fierce,
30:43the nights were long,
30:44and in winter,
30:45out-of-control wild wolves
30:47often approached the border.
30:49On his first night on duty,
30:51heavy snow fell.
30:52He stood in the wind,
30:54his fingers turning purple
30:55from the cold,
30:56but he did not dare
30:57take even half a step away.
31:01The patrol captain
31:02looked him up and down.
31:04You're no longer
31:05the heir of Moonstone Pack.
31:08Stop acting like you matter.
31:10No one here will indulge you.
31:13Rowan lowered his head.
31:14For the first time,
31:16there was no one around
31:17to excuse him.
31:21By the third day
31:22after Damon was taken away,
31:24the royal city
31:25was still talking
31:26about that farce.
31:27Some said that
31:28if he had not been so eager
31:29to trample on me,
31:30he might have at least
31:31preserved one last scrap
31:33of dignity.
31:34Others said that
31:34no matter how beautifully
31:36Meera cried,
31:36she had never been the heir
31:38of Moonstone Pack.
31:39When those words
31:40reached Pinewood residence,
31:41Meera was washing
31:42bloody linens
31:43in the back courtyard.
31:44What she used to fear most
31:46was hearing people say
31:47she had no rightful status.
31:49Now, every person
31:50who passed by her
31:51chewed those words up
31:52and spit them back
31:53in her face.
31:54An injured wolf
31:55walked past
31:55and looked down at her.
31:58I heard you used to be
31:59the future Lunar Queen.
32:02Someone beside him laughed.
32:04The future Lunar Queen?
32:06What a joke!
32:12Meera buried her head
32:13very low.
32:14But those words
32:15still drilled into her ears,
32:17every single one of them.
32:19That night,
32:20she secretly ran
32:20to the front hall
32:21and knelt outside,
32:22wanting to beg me.
32:24Selina,
32:24I was wrong.
32:26Can you make them
32:27let me go?
32:28I don't want Damon anymore.
32:29I don't want
32:30the Lunar Queen's position either.
32:32I stood inside the door
32:33and watched her
32:34shivering in the cold.
32:35Through her tears,
32:36she said,
32:37We grew up together.
32:40I smiled.
32:44I was only brought back
32:45two years ago.
32:47Meera's sobs
32:48stopped for a moment.
32:50In these two years,
32:51you framed me,
32:52stole my marriage alliance,
32:53tried to force me
32:54to read a declaration
32:55giving up my inheritance,
32:57and even tried to make
32:58Kale lose control.
33:00Isn't it a little late
33:02to talk about
33:02growing up together now?
33:06She could not
33:07say another word.
33:10The butler dragged her
33:12back to the rear courtyard.
33:15After Kale stopped
33:16taking those drugs,
33:17his condition worsened
33:18for a while.
33:19A wolf soul
33:20that had been suppressed
33:21for three years
33:22could not recover overnight.
33:24Sometimes at night,
33:25he would hurt so bad
33:26that his whole body trembled,
33:27his fingers digging deep
33:29into the edge of the bed.
33:30Everyone in Pinewood residence
33:31feared he might lose control.
33:33Only I stayed beside him.
33:35The butler stood
33:35outside the door,
33:36his voice low with worry.
33:38Miss Selina,
33:39you should step back.
33:42His heightness
33:43may not recognize anyone
33:44when the pain rises.
33:45Kale's breathing was rough.
33:47His claws had pressed
33:48marks into the wood,
33:49but he never reached for me.
33:50I dipped a cloth
33:51into cold water
33:52and wiped the sweat
33:54from his forehead.
33:55Kale panted
33:56and asked me,
33:57Aren't you afraid?
33:59I am.
34:00He looked at me.
34:01I changed the cloth,
34:02then pressed it gently
34:03against his wrist
34:04where the pulse
34:04was beating too fast.
34:05But I hate letting them
34:07win even more.
34:08Kale gave a low laugh.
34:09That was the first time
34:10I saw him truly smile.
34:11His smile was faint
34:12and exhausted,
34:13but it made the room
34:14feel less like a sick room.
34:16You chose a difficult road.
34:18No.
34:19They chose it for me.
34:20I looked towards
34:21from the closed door.
34:22I'm just making sure
34:23it leads somewhere better
34:24than the place
34:24they wanted to bury me.
34:25For the first time
34:26since I arrived
34:27at Pinewood Residence,
34:28the so-called madman
34:29fell asleep
34:29without breaking anything.
34:32Half a month later,
34:33the Alpha King
34:34officially restored
34:35Kale's status
34:36as royal heir.
34:37That day,
34:38the royal city
34:39held an oath ceremony.
34:40Kale walked onto the platform
34:42in a black ceremonial's cloak.
34:47His face was still pale,
34:48but his back was straight.
34:50The old ministers
34:51who had avoided
34:52mentioning his name
34:53for three years
34:54finally lowered their heads.
34:58Kale,
34:59eldest son of the royal bloodline
35:01has endured false treatment
35:03and unlawful suppression.
35:05From this day forward,
35:07his status as royal heir
35:09is restored.
35:13The packs below the platform
35:15knelt.
35:24Kale's gaze did not move
35:26to the crowd first.
35:29It found me.
35:32I stood beneath the platform
35:34and watched him take back
35:35what had been stolen.
35:37Daemon had no right to attend.
35:39He had been locked
35:40in the northern prison.
35:44It was damp and cold there,
35:47and every day,
35:48he could only see
35:49a small piece of grey-white sky
35:51through a narrow window.
35:53Whenever the bells
35:55of the royal city reached him,
35:56he would slam himself
35:58against the door
35:58like a madman.
36:00Open the door!
36:01I am the royal heir!
36:08The guard outside laughed,
36:11laughed coldly.
36:12Stop slamming yourself
36:13against it.
36:21Today is the day.
36:24His Highness Kale
36:25is restored as royal heir.
36:29Daemon froze.
36:31The guard added,
36:34Miss Selina is there too.
36:36I heard the Alpha King
36:38has already agreed,
36:40but she will become
36:41the future Luna Queen.
36:49This time,
36:51Daemon did not roar again.
36:54He lelmed against the wall
36:56and slowly slid down.
37:00All of this
37:01was supposed to be his.
37:04After that day,
37:05the reigning Luna Queen
37:06was stripped of her honours
37:07and imprisoned
37:07in the highest tower
37:08of the royal city.
37:10That tower
37:10faced Pinewood residents.
37:12Every day,
37:13she could see
37:13Kale's carriages
37:14coming and going.
37:15She could see
37:16the old ministers
37:17bowing to him again.
37:18She could see Daemon's place
37:19being erased piece by piece.
37:20That was more painful
37:22than killing her.
37:22The first morning
37:23after she was locked inside,
37:24she still tried to stand
37:25like a queen.
37:27Tell his majesty
37:27I demand to see him.
37:29I acted for Daemon
37:30and for the stability
37:31of the kingdom.
37:32The tower guard
37:33did not bow.
37:33You have no audience
37:34rights left.
37:36She gripped the iron bars.
37:38I am the Luna Queen.
37:40Not anymore.
37:41Outside the tower,
37:42the bells rang
37:43for Kale's restored oath.
37:44Every sound struck
37:44the stone room
37:45like a sentence.
37:46Below stepped out
37:46of his carriage,
37:47the minister who once
37:47avoided Pine Gent low
37:48before him.
37:49Your highness,
37:49the border reports
37:50are ready.
37:51He did not need
37:51to have to shout.
37:52Kale accepted the file
37:53with it not looking
37:53to origin words.
37:54His return alone
37:55was enough.
37:56Behind the iron bars,
37:58the woman who had
38:00poisoned him
38:00for three years
38:01watched her own
38:02son's future disappear.
38:04Piece by piece,
38:06from a window
38:07she could not leave.
38:10After the oath ceremony
38:11ended,
38:12my parents and Rowan
38:13knelt outside the royal city
38:15begging to see me.
38:18When I walked out,
38:20my mother seemed
38:21to have aged greatly.
38:26Selina,
38:27we know we were wrong.
38:31Your father is in poor health
38:33and Rowan has been punished.
38:35Can you,
38:36for the ale of our blood kinds,
38:38ask Kale
38:39to put in one word
38:40for Moonstone Pack?
38:43Selina,
38:44I'm your brother.
38:45I looked at his cracked hands.
38:47When you crossed my name
38:48off the list,
38:49did you remember
38:49I was your sister?
38:54His face went white.
38:56I looked at my mother again.
39:00Two years ago,
39:01when I had just been
39:02brought back,
39:04Mira said I pushed her
39:05into the water
39:06and you made me kneel
39:07for an entire night.
39:09I was confused.
39:12Mira cried so hard,
39:14I thought you were stronger.
39:16So because I didn't cry,
39:18I deserved less?
39:20She could not answer.
39:22My father lowered his head.
39:24Moonstone Pack cannot survive
39:26if the royal family
39:27keeps punishing us.
39:28Moonstone Pack survived
39:30when you sacrificed me.
39:31I did not soften.
39:33You didn't lose me.
39:36I finally stopped choosing you.
39:41I turned and walked
39:42back to Kale's side.
39:43Kale did not speak for me.
39:45He only stood beside me,
39:46letting them understand
39:47that this time,
39:48I had someone behind me
39:49who would not hand me away.
39:53When the coronation bells rang,
39:55every wolf in the royal city
39:57lowered their heads.
39:58Kale stood on the high platform.
40:02His face was still pale,
40:04but his eyes were calm
40:06and sharp.
40:08The Alpha King
40:09placed the crown
40:11of the future Luna Queen
40:13before me.
40:14Below the platform,
40:15the people who had once mocked me
40:16no longer dared lift their heads.
40:18I saw Rowan standing
40:19in the very last row.
40:22The wind and snow
40:24had roughened his face
40:25and his shoulders
40:26were no longer straight.
40:28He wanted to look at me,
40:30but he did not dare
40:31look for too long.
40:33I also saw my parents.
40:35They wore the plainest
40:35formal clothes
40:36and had been placed
40:37as far from the platform
40:38as possible.
40:39My mother's hands
40:39clutched skirt tightly,
40:41her eyes painfully red.
40:43Once,
40:43she had said
40:44Mir was more like her daughter.
40:46Now,
40:46she finally knew
40:47what she had thrown away
40:48with her own hands.
40:49The Alpha King's voice
40:50echoed across the square.
40:53Selina of Moonstone Pack
40:55stood before this court
40:56when Truth was buried
40:58and she exposed
40:59a false ceremony,
41:00a forged declaration,
41:02and a crime
41:03against the royal bloodline.
41:04From today forward,
41:06she will stand aside Kale
41:08as the future Luna Queen.
41:12The crown glowed
41:13under the winter light.
41:15Kale turned slightly
41:16and looked at me.
41:17You don't have to accept
41:18because of me.
41:19I'm not accepting
41:20because of you.
41:21I looked down at the court.
41:22All this time,
41:23I was waiting for a day
41:24when I'd rise high enough
41:25to make my own choices
41:26and when I'd finally
41:27stop living beneath
41:28the gaze of people
41:29who had no love
41:30to give me.
41:33Mira was not qualified
41:35to enter the hall.
41:36She was in the back
41:36cat yard of Pinewood residents,
41:39holding a basin
41:40of the bloody water.
41:42When the bells rang,
41:43her hands shook
41:43and the dirty water
41:45splashed all over
41:46her skirt.
41:47The steward frowned.
41:51Hurry up.
41:52Do you think
41:53you're still
41:54the future Luna Queen?
41:58Mira lowered her head
41:59and her tears fell
42:00one by one
42:01into the blood-blind water.
42:03She had once wanted me
42:04to wear a maid's uniform
42:05and hand her cloak
42:06to her in public.
42:07Now,
42:08she was the one
42:08standing in a back
42:09ackyard
42:10no guest would ever see.
42:11Daemon heard the bells
42:13inside the northern prison.
42:14He asked the guard,
42:16What day is it?
42:16The new royal heir
42:17and the future Luna Queen
42:18are accepting
42:19the oaths of the Pax.
42:20Daemon pound on the door
42:21until the back
42:21of his hand bled.
42:23I should have been
42:23the one standing there!
42:25No one paid him
42:26any attention.
42:27In the highest tower,
42:28the reigning Luna Queen
42:30also heard the bells.
42:32She threw herself
42:33toward the window
42:33and looked through
42:34the iron bars
42:35at the royal city.
42:36There was Kale
42:38and there was me.
42:39No.
42:41No,
42:42this should have been
42:43Daemon's day.
42:44The tower guard
42:44closed the viewing slit
42:46halfway.
42:46You may watch quietly
42:47or you may watch nothing.
42:49At last,
42:50she broke down
42:51and sobbed.
42:55On the platform,
42:57Kale took my hand.
42:58His hand was still
42:59a little cold.
43:02But it was
43:03much steadier
43:04than when we first met.
43:05Will you regret it?
43:07And it was the first
43:09steptook towards
43:09the throne.
43:11I look back at Kale.
43:13No.
43:15Kale's fingers
43:16tightened around mine.
43:19Then accept the oaths!
43:23One by one,
43:24the pack representatives
43:25stepped forward.
43:27The same people
43:28who had whispered
43:29that I would not survive Kale
43:31now lowered their heads
43:32and offered loyalty.
43:34We honor the future
43:35Luna Queen.
43:36We honor His Highness Kale.
43:38I did not feel the need
43:39to look back
43:40at my family again.
43:41The crown before me
43:42was not a gift from Kale.
43:43This is my own choice
43:45and the place
43:45I was always meant to stand.
43:49This time,
43:50no one could cross out
43:51my name.
43:55After the oath,
43:56the royal elder
43:57brought out
43:57the new alliance record.
43:58The portrait was laid
43:59on a stone table
44:00before the entire court.
44:01The future
44:03Luna Queen's name
44:05must be entered
44:06into the royal register
44:07before the packs
44:08dispass.
44:12For a moment,
44:14I remembered
44:15another pen.
44:17Rowan's pen.
44:18The one that had
44:19crossed my name
44:20off the bonding list
44:21ten minutes
44:22before the ceremony began.
44:24That one stroke
44:25had been meant
44:25to send me into ruin.
44:27Now another stroke
44:28would seal my return.
44:30Selina of Moonstone Pack,
44:33mate of his highness Kale,
44:35future Luna Queen
44:36of the Northern Kingdom.
44:40Your highness,
44:42Moonstone Pack
44:42honors the royal decision.
44:44I knew what he really wanted.
44:49He wanted me to soften.
44:51This record will not be altered
44:53without Selina's consent.
44:54The royal elder nodded once.
44:56By order of the royal court,
44:58no one may replace her name,
45:01speak for her,
45:02or surrender her status
45:03on her behalf.
45:04The court heard every word.
45:07So did Moonstone Pack.
45:11My name had once
45:13been crossed out
45:14in secret.
45:16Now it was written
45:17back in public,
45:18where everyone could see.
45:24The next day,
45:26Daemon was brought
45:26before the royal hearing hall.
45:29He no longer wore
45:31royal air's cloak.
45:32His wrists were bound,
45:34and the guards
45:35did not lower their heads
45:36when they pushed him forward.
45:38Daemon looked first
45:39at the Alpha King,
45:40then at Kale,
45:41and finally at me.
45:43Father,
45:44this is unnecessary.
45:45I have already lost my title.
45:46You lost your title
45:48because you were unworthy.
45:49Today the packs
45:50will hear why.
45:57The royal elder
45:58opened the record
45:58and read each charge.
46:00Public humiliation
46:01of the rightful
46:02Moonstone heir.
46:03Acceptance of a forged
46:04succession declaration.
46:06Attempted use of
46:07poisoned,
46:07mediclated wine
46:08to provoke
46:09His Highness Kale.
46:10Concealment of evidence
46:11regarding the long-term
46:13suppression
46:13of His Highness
46:14Wolfsoul.
46:15Kale looked at him coldly.
46:20But you plan
46:21to benefit from it.
46:28Daemon's eyes
46:29flicked toward me.
46:30Selina,
46:31tell them I never
46:31wanted you dead.
46:32I only wanted you
46:33to learn your place.
46:34The hearing hall
46:36went silent.
46:38I stood up.
46:40That is exactly
46:42why you deserve
46:42this judgment.
46:45Daemon stared at me.
46:47You thought my place
46:48was beneath you.
46:49Beneath Meera.
46:51Beneath whatever lie
46:52made you comfortable.
46:53Now your place
46:54is the one the court
46:55gives you.
46:55The Alpha King
46:56struck the stone
46:57armrest once.
46:58Daemon is stripped
46:59of all royal privileges,
47:01inheritance rights,
47:02military command,
47:04and access
47:04to the palace.
47:06He will remain
47:06in the northern prison
47:08until the court
47:08decides his labor sentence.
47:10Daemon's face
47:11finally cracked.
47:12Labor sentence?
47:13you will repair
47:15the same border walls
47:17as Kael bled
47:18to defend.
47:26Daemon was led away.
47:28I stood beside Kael
47:30on the high platform,
47:31facing the packs
47:32of the northern kingdom.
47:33Kael's hand
47:34was still cooler
47:35than most people's,
47:35but his grip
47:36was steady.
47:37From today onward,
47:38no one speaks over you.
47:40Not Moonstone Pack,
47:41not the royal court,
47:42not me.
47:45I looked at him,
47:47and no one hides
47:48poison behind concern again.
47:50A faint smile
47:51touched his mouth.
47:52Never again.
47:54He took my hand
47:55and led me out.
47:56From this day forward,
47:58no one would dare
47:59change my name
48:00on the list again.
48:01No one would hand me
48:03a maid's uniform.
48:04No one would presume
48:06to write for me.
48:06and no one
48:08would ever ask me
48:10to step aside again.
48:15I sat in the courtyard,
48:17letting the feeling
48:17of freedom
48:18wash over me.
48:19Kael came up behind me
48:21and wrapped his arms
48:22around me.
48:23What are you thinking about?
48:24I was wondering,
48:25what would have happened
48:26if I hadn't taken
48:27that crown back then?
48:28If I hadn't chosen you?
48:30Suit One sat down
48:31beside me.
48:32With or without me,
48:33you would have become
48:34free on your own.
48:35Why do you say that?
48:36Because you're brave
48:37and clever.
48:38You would never let yourself
48:39be someone else's
48:39second option.
48:41Even without me,
48:42you would have found
48:42your way out.
48:43I just got lucky.
48:45Lucky enough
48:45to earn your favor.
48:49That's my honor.
48:53It was the first time
48:54anyone had ever said
48:55that being chosen by me
48:57was their honor.
49:02Meeting you
49:03is my honor too.
49:08My dear Luna,
49:09may we go without
49:10a condom tonight?
49:14Father was urging me
49:15today to produce an heir.
49:16His erect cock
49:17pressed against my pussy
49:18and I quickly grew wet.
49:21Okay.
49:23As his thick cock
49:24slid into me,
49:24I thought with satisfaction.
49:26I'm so glad
49:27I chose him.
49:27and I'm so glad
49:32I did not know
49:32I saw
