00:00:00Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies.

00:00:04My Alpha Cain had an affair with his mistress Beta the day before our mating ceremony.

00:00:09He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing, unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive

00:00:17every betrayal he uttered.

00:00:20Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged a fake death scene exactly as you requested.

00:00:26In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.

00:00:30The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too

00:00:35long.

00:00:36Good.

00:00:37My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.

00:00:42Rest assured, no one will question it. We'll simulate a death by silver. No wolf survives that kind of damage.

00:00:51Only then, did I let out a slow breath.

00:00:54After confirming the remaining details, I hung up, and pushed open the door, to the private room.

00:01:01The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.

00:01:04Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.

00:01:09The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Cain.

00:01:13Cain, seated at the center, rose immediately.

00:01:17His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern.

00:01:23His voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.

00:01:27My little wolf, where did you go? I can smell fear on you.

00:01:32He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze, and forced down the bitterness rising

00:01:39in my chest.

00:01:40I shook my head.

00:01:42I'm fine. Let's just keep going.

00:01:45Still holding my hand, Cain led me back to my seat.

00:01:49The room gradually came back to life, until someone spoke up.

00:01:54Cain, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond.

00:01:58So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?

00:02:01My nails dug into my palm.

00:02:03Being the useless one who couldn't shift, I'd long since gotten used to names like that.

00:02:10But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Cain.

00:02:18Someone beside the speaker nudged him.

00:02:21Hey watch it, your Luna's right here.

00:02:24He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.

00:02:27What's the problem?

00:02:29It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.

00:02:33I'm just curious how Cain plans to deal with his little bitch.

00:02:37All eyes turned to Cain.

00:02:39A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.

00:02:43I'll keep her.

00:02:45He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.

00:02:50She's just a pet I keep around.

00:02:52My only mate is Aria.

00:02:55He smirked faintly.

00:02:57But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.

00:03:01So I've kept it well hidden.

00:03:04Even after the mate bond.

00:03:06I won't let her find out.

00:03:08His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.

00:03:14Watch your mouths.

00:03:15If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.

00:03:20These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked them.

00:03:25If anything, they sounded amused.

00:03:29Cain's got it bad.

00:03:30Can't even let his little toy get exposed.

00:03:33Well, she can't shift.

00:03:35Figures she'd be fragile.

00:03:37Someone's eyes lit up.

00:03:39Curiosity getting the better of him.

00:03:42Cain, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at home?

00:03:51Cain chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.

00:03:56Of course.

00:03:58It's been wild.

00:04:01The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.

00:04:05Cain really knows how to play!

00:04:08A useless one like that?

00:04:10Easy to fool.

00:04:12Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.

00:04:18Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.

00:04:24Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.

00:04:28No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.

00:04:32My knuckles had gone white.

00:04:34No one knew.

00:04:35Three days ago, I had my awakening.

00:04:41And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.

00:04:45I would never complete a mate bond with Cain.

00:04:48On the day of the ceremony, the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.

00:04:55A fake one.

00:04:56Cain glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.

00:05:01My little wolf, why aren't you eating?

00:05:05I looked at him.

00:05:06At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern and forced a faint smile.

00:05:13What were you all talking about that got you so excited?

00:05:18Cain smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.

00:05:23They were just saying they envy, envy our bond.

00:05:26That will be the most devoted pair there is.

00:05:30Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.

00:05:35I caught every single one of them.

00:05:37The mockery.

00:05:38The cruelty.

00:05:39It burned.

00:05:41My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver, the pain sharp enough to cut through bone.

00:05:48They had been talking about him and that woman, yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.

00:05:55Cain, I said, Cain, I never realized you could lie so easily.

00:06:00I set my silver fork down and stood.

00:06:03I didn't want to hear another word of it.

00:06:06The moment I moved to leave, Cain was on his feet, a flicker of panic crossing his face.

00:06:13Little wolf, what's wrong?

00:06:15I shook my head.

00:06:17My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.

00:06:22I'm tired.

00:06:24I want to go back to the pack house.

00:06:26I didn't wait for his response.

00:06:28I turned and walked out.

00:06:31Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.

00:06:37A mating display was playing.

00:06:40Aria, be my mate.

00:06:43The words stretched across the center in bold, impossible-to-miss letters.

00:06:49People passing by slowed down, their voices full of envy.

00:06:56Oh my god, I heard Alpha Cain's girl can't shift, so he rented the biggest screen in the city just

00:07:01so she could clearly see the words,

00:07:03Be my mate?

00:07:04That's insanely romantic.

00:07:07He treats that girl so well.

00:07:10After the mate bond, he's going to be the perfect Alpha.

00:07:14I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.

00:07:21A week ago, I would have reacted the same way.

00:07:26I would have believed in Cain's love without question.

00:07:29I was born into a declining pack.

00:07:34From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.

00:07:38Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace.

00:07:43A failure.

00:07:45Cain entered my life under those circumstances.

00:07:48He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.

00:07:53But I had seen this kind of attention before.

00:07:57Cruel games disguised as affection.

00:08:00So I avoided him.

00:08:0299 times he confessed.

00:08:0599 times I turned him down.

00:08:09Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked.

00:08:12He threw himself over me without hesitation.

00:08:15Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move.

00:08:20He held his position, shielding me with his body.

00:08:24When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.

00:08:31And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me, was reach out and gently touch my face.

00:08:38My little wolf, as long as you're safe.

00:08:42That was the moment everything changed.

00:08:44For the first time, I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking everything

00:08:51for.

00:08:52The walls around my heart cracked open for him.

00:08:56The wound from the Silver never fully healed.

00:09:00It left behind a permanent circular scar.

00:09:03Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.

00:09:10For five years, he never wavered.

00:09:13He treated me with the same devotion, the same care.

00:09:17As if I were the only one who mattered.

00:09:22Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground, and asked me to be his mate.

00:09:28And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real.

00:09:34Something more.

00:09:35I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the mate

00:09:42ritual.

00:09:43If it failed, I would have died.

00:09:46But I survived.

00:09:48Not only that, I gained something rare.

00:09:52Empathic sense.

00:09:53I decided to keep it a secret.

00:09:56I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.

00:10:00But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart.

00:10:04Through that new ability, I sensed him.

00:10:08Cain.

00:10:09Talking to his beta pet.

00:10:11Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.

00:10:17That was when I learned the truth.

00:10:19He had already betrayed our bond.

00:10:22For an entire year.

00:10:24And I had known nothing.

00:10:27A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.

00:10:34His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again.

00:10:39Even with the mate ceremony approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship.

00:10:45Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?

00:10:50The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless.

00:10:54But my mind had never been clearer.

00:10:57I would show Cain the truth.

00:11:00Lies don't last forever.

00:11:02And I would never forgive betrayal.

00:11:05I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest.

00:11:10Just as I was about to head back, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.

00:11:17Cain's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.

00:11:22It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to breathe.

00:11:27Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me?

00:11:29Are you in a bad mood today?

00:11:32Then let me take you to see your mate dress.

00:11:35The custom piece just arrived.

00:11:38He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to the back of my neck, gently stroking the spot

00:11:44where his marking remained.

00:11:49I don't feel like going.

00:11:51Just pick it yourself.

00:11:53I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.

00:11:56There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.

00:12:00Cain seemed to sense the distance in my tone.

00:12:03His voice softened, almost cautious.

00:12:07Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?

00:12:12Do you not want to bond with me anymore?

00:12:16I looked at him, at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.

00:12:20I almost told him the truth.

00:12:23Yes, I don't want this anymore.

00:12:26You were the one who betrayed us first.

00:12:29You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.

00:12:32You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.

00:12:36And now you're asking me why?

00:12:39But I wasn't ready to expose everything, not yet.

00:12:45At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside, an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress

00:12:51prepared in advance.

00:12:53Miss, the gown Alpha Cain had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.

00:12:57Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.

00:13:02The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous.

00:13:06Moonstones were set into the bodice, casting a soft, sacred glow.

00:13:11Cain wrapped an arm around my waist.

00:13:14My little wolf, do you like it?

00:13:17I couldn't deny it.

00:13:19The design was exactly my taste.

00:13:22But no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't mend what had already been broken.

00:13:28Look closer, Cain said softly.

00:13:31At the center of the moonstone.

00:13:33I followed his gaze.

00:13:35Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.

00:13:38A and K, forever.

00:13:41The moon goddess is our witness.

00:13:45My love for you will last forever too.

00:13:48I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart.

00:13:53Then I turned to him, and met his eyes.

00:13:56Eyes filled with something that looked like love.

00:14:01Will your love for me really last forever?

00:14:06A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.

00:14:10I, Cain, swear, swear that I will love Arya forever.

00:14:15For my entire life.

00:14:18If I break this oath, may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.

00:14:23Such a solemn vow.

00:14:25And yet, it couldn't warm a heart, that had already gone cold.

00:14:31He had already broken it.

00:14:33And still, he kept acting.

00:14:36Didn't he get tired?

00:14:38I turned my face away.

00:14:41Unwilling to look at him any longer.

00:14:43Cain seemed about to say something else.

00:14:46But his phone suddenly rang.

00:14:48His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer.

00:14:52When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.

00:14:58Little wolf, something urgent just came up.

00:15:01Go ahead and try the dress.

00:15:03If anything needs adjusting, just tell the staff.

00:15:06He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.

00:15:11I watched his retreating figure, a bitter thought settling in.

00:15:16Cain had never walked away from me for pack business.

00:15:19And just before he left, I had caught it.

00:15:23That flicker in his eyes.

00:15:26Raw, instinctive desire.

00:15:30Work?

00:15:31Hardly.

00:15:32He was going to see her.

00:15:35When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.

00:15:39The slight dip in the mattress.

00:15:41The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla, and lingering scent, thick with unmistakable desire.

00:15:49The thought hit me all at once.

00:15:52Cain and that beta had been here, on this bed.

00:15:56Entwined.

00:15:57My stomach twisted violently.

00:15:59I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop.

00:16:04Cain had just come back.

00:16:05The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.

00:16:10Little wolf, did you eat something bad?

00:16:13I'll call a healer right now.

00:16:17I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red.

00:16:21I'm fine.

00:16:22I just thought of something disgusting.

00:16:26Cain dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.

00:16:32Don't think about things like that.

00:16:34But, seeing you like this, it hurts me too.

00:16:39I looked down at him.

00:16:41At the open collar of his shirt.

00:16:43And the marks on his skin.

00:16:46Bite marks.

00:16:47Fresh.

00:16:48Obvious.

00:16:49Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.

00:16:52How strong did Cain have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body,

00:16:57and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?

00:17:02His voice grew sharper.

00:17:04More agitated.

00:17:06Who did this to you?

00:17:08Who made Maid?

00:17:10My little wolf like this?

00:17:12Tell me.

00:17:14I'll tear them apart.

00:17:15A bitter smile tugged at my lips.

00:17:20Cain.

00:17:21You're the one who did this to me.

00:17:23Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl.

00:17:29Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.

00:17:34But the bed was empty.

00:17:37I sat up and went downstairs.

00:17:39As I reached the second floor, I heard it.

00:17:43A woman's breathless voice.

00:17:46Soft, broken.

00:17:48I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest, then walked toward the guest room.

00:17:55The door was wide open.

00:17:58Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.

00:18:04Inside, Cain was bare from the waist up.

00:18:07The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.

00:18:10The long skirt pushed up to her waist.

00:18:13Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.

00:18:16Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck, her voice unsteady.

00:18:21Alpha, the dress I just got today, you already torn it.

00:18:27Cain let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.

00:18:32You...

00:18:34You wore it for me, didn't you?

00:18:37I even had the designer make one just for you.

00:18:41So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?

00:18:44She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.

00:18:50Alpha, I can't... I can't take ache anymore.

00:18:55Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.

00:18:59What if Aria sees us?

00:19:02Cain stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.

00:19:06She's useless.

00:19:08She doesn't understand anything.

00:19:10Don't you dare tell her about us.

00:19:12The beta traced circles against his chest, her tone soft, almost hurt.

00:19:18I know.

00:19:19I just...

00:19:21She's about to become your mate.

00:19:23And I'll always have to stay hidden.

00:19:27It makes me sad.

00:19:29Cain's expression softened slightly.

00:19:32You jealous little thing.

00:19:34I already brought you into this house.

00:19:36Isn't that enough?

00:19:38Don't worry.

00:19:40Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you.

00:19:43Whatever area has, you'll have too.

00:19:46Moonlight lit up my face, where I stood outside the door.

00:19:51I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.

00:19:56Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades, carving wound after wound into my chest.

00:20:05I turned and ran.

00:20:07Barefoot.

00:20:08Straight out into the rain.

00:20:11Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.

00:20:14I just needed to get away.

00:20:16As far away as possible.

00:20:18Through the haze, I thought I saw him.

00:20:22A younger Cain.

00:20:24The one I had once loved.

00:20:27His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.

00:20:32Little wolf, leave him.

00:20:36Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore.

00:20:38And never forgive him.

00:20:40My vision burned, as I looked at that memory.

00:20:44At the alpha, I had once given my heart to.

00:20:48Okay.

00:20:49I whispered.

00:20:51I will leave you.

00:20:54And I will never forgive you.

00:20:58I didn't make it back until dawn.

00:21:00The moment I lay down, Cain slipped quietly into the room.

00:21:05He moved carefully, just like always, pulling the blanket over me before drawing me into his arms.

00:21:11His lips brushed softly against my forehead.

00:21:14Little wolf, I really do love you.

00:21:19In three days, you'll become my mate.

00:21:22We'll be together forever.

00:21:24I once saw a line online.

00:21:27When an alpha suddenly becomes gentle, it is usually guilt, after betrayal.

00:21:34I never understood it before.

00:21:36Now I did.

00:21:38More than anything, I just wanted time to move faster.

00:21:42I wanted the day I left to come sooner.

00:21:44When I woke up, Cain and the beta were already downstairs having breakfast.

00:21:49The moment he saw me, Cain stood and pulled out a chair for me.

00:21:55He watched as I calmly finished my meal, then guilt flickered across his face.

00:22:03Little wolf, I have to leave for a few days on short notice.

00:22:07For the mate ceremony, just work with the planner.

00:22:10I'll be back as soon as I can.

00:22:12After the ceremony, I'll make it up to you.

00:22:14Wherever you want to go for our honeymoon, I'll take you.

00:22:16I already knew the truth.

00:22:19This wasn't a trip.

00:22:20He was going to take care of her.

00:22:22But I didn't care anymore.

00:22:25I simply nodded.

00:22:28Just before he walked out the door, I called his name one last time.

00:22:32Cain.

00:22:34He paused, then turned back, his expression softening as he reached out to cut my face.

00:22:41Can't bear to see me go, little wolf.

00:22:43It's only a few days.

00:22:45Once we complete the mate bond, you'll see me every day.

00:22:49Cain!

00:22:49From outside, the beta called out to him.

00:22:52Cain leaned in, kissed my cheek, and left in a hurry.

00:22:56I stood there, watching his retreating figure.

00:23:01This was probably the last time I would ever see him.

00:23:06Not long after Cain and the beta left, I received a message from her.

00:23:11Miss Aria, you sensed everything last night, didn't you?

00:23:14I didn't expect you to be this good at holding it in.

00:23:17Cain already promised to spend the next few days with me.

00:23:21Imagine that, your future mate staying with another wolf right before your ceremony.

00:23:26You might be the most pathetic woman in the world.

00:23:30I didn't reply.

00:23:32Instead, I told the servants to gather everything in the villa that belonged to me, and pile it

00:23:38in the backyard.

00:23:40Once everything was brought out, I lit a fire.

00:23:44I stood there in silence, watching five years of memories burn away piece by piece.

00:23:51When the last corner turned to ash, so did everything I once felt.

00:23:57There were two days left before I left.

00:24:00Another message came from the beta.

00:24:03This time, it was a photo.

00:24:06A pregnancy test report.

00:24:08Well, looks like I'm really pregnant.

00:24:11Cain's first pup.

00:24:13He's so excited.

00:24:15I still didn't respond.

00:24:17I took out the mate dress and, with my claws, tore it apart piece by piece.

00:24:23This dress, created for me, no longer had any meaning.

00:24:28On the day I was leaving, she sent one last message.

00:24:33Cain is going to complete a mate bond with me.

00:24:36He said he'll give me the same ceremony.

00:24:38He won't let me, or the child suffer.

00:24:41Miss Aria, you should know your place, and give up the Luna position.

00:24:45Cain doesn't love you anymore.

00:24:48This time, I replied,

00:24:50I hope your dream comes true soon.

00:24:53After that, I pulled up the Villa surveillance footage.

00:24:57It wasn't just once.

00:24:59Cain had brought her back here again and again, chasing excitement.

00:25:04I copied the videos and sent them to the ceremony planner.

00:25:08This is a surprise I prepared for Cain.

00:25:11Make sure it's played-played during the ceremony.

00:25:13Keep it confidential.

00:25:17Once everything was arranged, my phone rang.

00:25:21Cain!

00:25:22There was a trace of apology on his face.

00:25:25Little Wolf, things here aren't finished yet.

00:25:27I won't be back until tomorrow morning.

00:25:30Don't worry, I'll make it before the ceremony.

00:25:33I let out a soft laugh.

00:25:35Okay, I've prepared a surprise for you at the ceremony.

00:25:39His eyes lit up with anticipation.

00:25:42My little wolf prepared something for me?

00:25:45I can't wait.

00:25:47Little Wolf, I've waited five years for you to become my mate.

00:25:50Tomorrow, when you finally become my Luna.

00:25:52I'm so happy.

00:25:54His voice cut off abruptly.

00:25:56His body stiffened for a split second,

00:25:59and a suppressed breath escaped him.

00:26:02A trace of cold mockery flickered in my eyes.

00:26:06Cain, I hope you like the surprise.

00:26:10I hung up before he could respond and walked out of the villa.

00:26:14The car from the fake death agency was already waiting outside.

00:26:19At the airport, I typed a few final lines on my phone before handing it to the staff.

00:26:25Tomorrow, deliver this phone along with the body to the Alpha.

00:26:29Tell him I died at six in the evening, and that I left him a final message.

00:26:34Six o'clock.

00:26:36The exact moment I ended the call.

00:26:39I wanted Cain to believe that while he was tangled up with that beta, I had died.

00:26:45That I had chosen death.

00:26:47Those final words I left behind would stay with him forever.

00:26:52A lifetime of guilt he would never escape.

00:26:55The staff member nodded, taking the phone and handing me a new ID and boarding pass.

00:27:01Miss Phoenix, we will erase all surveillance along your route.

00:27:06We wish you a safe journey and a happy life ahead.

00:27:10Phoenix.

00:27:11The name I chose for myself.

00:27:14A symbol of rising from the ashes.

00:27:16Of leaving everything behind.

00:27:20After today, my life would begin again.

00:27:25At the beta's house.

00:27:27The woman was still softly begging when Cain finally let her go.

00:27:31He caught her wrist, his voice rough.

00:27:34You're pregnant and still acting like this?

00:27:37She leaned into his chest, her tone sweet and coaxing.

00:27:42I was just worried you might be holding back too much.

00:27:46Cain let out a low chuckle and pinched her cheek.

00:27:51Jealous, aren't you?

00:27:53She huffed and turned her face away.

00:27:55You're completing a mate bond with Aria tomorrow?

00:27:58Am I not allowed to feel anything about that?

00:28:01Cain's expression darkened.

00:28:03He released her hand and looked down at her from above.

00:28:06His voice edged with warning.

00:28:08As long as you don't front sit in life in my front, I can spoil you however I want.

00:28:13But if you forget your place...

00:28:15Her expression shifted.

00:28:17She hadn't expected that even carrying his pup wouldn't change his tone.

00:28:22But she knew how to read the situation.

00:28:25Alpha, I understand.

00:28:26I never intended to compete with Miss Aria for the Luna position.

00:28:30Cain pulled her back into his arms.

00:28:33Good.

00:28:33Don't overthink it.

00:28:35After the honeymoon, I'll spend a full week with you.

00:28:38And don't worry.

00:28:39Even after the mate bond, I won't neglect you or the child.

00:28:43The next day, the mate ceremony.

00:28:46Cain stood at the center of the stage, dressed impeccably, a white rose in his hand.

00:28:52Below him, guests filled the venue, cameras from major media outlets broadcasting the event live across the world.

00:29:00At exactly 12 noon, the ceremony began.

00:29:04The music for the Luna's entrance played.

00:29:08Cain's palms were damp with sweat.

00:29:11The song ended.

00:29:12But the doors remained closed.

00:29:15A murmur spread through the crowd.

00:29:18Just as Cain reached for his phone, the host stepped forward.

00:29:23Ladies and gentlemen, and our Alpha, thank you for your patience.

00:29:27Our Luna mentioned yesterday that she prepared a special surprise.

00:29:30So we've added an extra segment to today's ceremony.

00:29:34Cain relaxed slightly.

00:29:36So this was the surprise I had mentioned.

00:29:40Please direct your attention to the main screen.

00:29:43All eyes lifted.

00:29:45Cain smiled faintly, anticipation in his gaze.

00:29:49But the next second, everything changed.

00:29:56On the screen, two bodies were tangled together on a couch.

00:30:00Their movements unmistakable.

00:30:03At first, the guests were confused.

00:30:06Who are they?

00:30:07How dare they disrupt Alpha Cain's ceremony?

00:30:10But Cain recognized it instantly.

00:30:12It was him.

00:30:14And the Beta.

00:30:15Turn it off!

00:30:16Shut it down right now!

00:30:18His roar tore through the hall.

00:30:21The host rushed backstage, trying to stop the video.

00:30:25But the system had frozen.

00:30:27Nothing responded.

00:30:29The footage continued.

00:30:31And then, their faces came clearly into view.

00:30:35The entire venue erupted.

00:30:38Oh my god!

00:30:40That's Alpha Cain!

00:30:42Did he betray the mate bond?

00:30:44Wasn't he supposed to only love Aria?

00:30:46What is this?

00:30:48Online, the live stream had already drawn nearly 5 million viewers.

00:30:53Comments flooded in.

00:30:55So he's just another Alpha who can't control himself.

00:30:58I can't believe I ever thought he was perfect.

00:31:00Shut down the stream and the screen!

00:31:02Immediately!

00:31:03Cain immediately ordered the stream and screen to be shut down, then grabbed the microphone.

00:31:08Is allowed to speak of this, not a word.

00:31:12Someone muttered under their breath.

00:31:15Didn't they say this was Aria's surprise?

00:31:18Maybe she already knew.

00:31:20Cain's face went pale.

00:31:23That was the one possibility he refused to accept.

00:31:27He clung to the belief that I was oblivious, that I never checked the surveillance,

00:31:31that as long as no one said anything, I would never know.

00:31:36But I still hadn't appeared.

00:31:38And now, panic began to take hold.

00:31:42He pulled out his phone and sent a message.

00:31:45Little Wolf, are you here?

00:31:48One minute.

00:31:49Two minutes.

00:31:51No reply.

00:31:52His hands began to sweat as he prepared to call.

00:31:56Then, slowly, the doors to the hall opened.

00:32:02Every head turned.

00:32:05Hope lit up Cain's face.

00:32:08He thought his little wolf had finally arrived.

00:32:11The video had already been dealt with.

00:32:14Holding the bouquet, he stepped forward, ready to welcome his mate.

00:32:20He began to extend his hand.

00:32:22And then he froze.

00:32:25The ones entering were not the woman he had been waiting for.

00:32:30It was a group of staff dressed in black.

00:32:33Behind them, they carried a coffin.

00:32:37Rage ignited in Cain's eyes.

00:32:39One of the staff stepped forward, sympathy written across his face.

00:32:45Alpha Cain, your mate took her own life yesterday.

00:32:48Please accept our condolences.

00:32:50Cain didn't believe a word of it.

00:32:52Just yesterday, we had spoken.

00:32:56I had sounded completely fine.

00:32:59How could I be dead?

00:33:00He let out a cold laugh.

00:33:02The video wasn't enough, so now you're making up lies about my mate's death?

00:33:07Tell me, who sent you?

00:33:09The staff member's expression grew even more sympathetic.

00:33:14He gestured toward the coffin.

00:33:16If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself.

00:33:21Cain laughed again, anger sharpening his voice.

00:33:25Fine.

00:33:27Let's see what kind of trick you're trying to pull.

00:33:29He strode toward the coffin.

00:33:31But the moment he looked inside, all the strength drained from his body.

00:33:37Aria.

00:33:38He stumbled forward, dropping to his knees beside the coffin, his hands trembling as he searched

00:33:44for even the slightest difference between the person inside and me.

00:33:48His gaze moved inch by inch.

00:33:51But there was no difference.

00:33:53The woman lying there was me.

00:33:56The same Aria who had been by his side for five years.

00:34:00How could this be?

00:34:02Just yesterday, we had spoken.

00:34:04There had been no sign, no hint that I would choose death.

00:34:11No!

00:34:12This couldn't be real!

00:34:14He clung to denial, telling himself that his little wolf was just angry.

00:34:19That I was upset he hadn't been with me these past few days.

00:34:23That this was some kind of cruel joke.

00:34:25Cain reached out, his hand shaking as he tried to touch my face, as if convincing himself I was only

00:34:32asleep.

00:34:32But little wolf, why is your body so cold?

00:34:36Let me warm you up, okay?

00:34:39Today is our mate ceremony.

00:34:41You wouldn't leave me here alone, would you?

00:34:44By the end, his voice had begun to tremble.

00:34:48A staff member stepped forward and tried to help him up.

00:34:52Alpha Cain, please accept our condolences.

00:34:56This area has passed.

00:34:59That sentence snapped something inside him.

00:35:02He shoved the man away, his eyes bloodshot as he roared.

00:35:06No, Aria isn't dead!

00:35:09She's just asleep!

00:35:11The staff fell silent for a moment before handing him my phone.

00:35:15Alpha Cain, Miss Aria took her own life yesterday at six in the evening.

00:35:19When we arrived, she said she left you a final message on her phone.

00:35:22The moment those words registered, Cain's heart lurched.

00:35:26If he remembered correctly, that was exactly when our call had ended.

00:35:31Right after that, he had been with the beta.

00:35:34His face turned even paler.

00:35:37With shaking hands, he unlocked the phone.

00:35:40The moment the screen lit up, he saw the note I had left behind.

00:35:46Cain, when I was 22, you were the one who pulled me out of a barren world.

00:35:51You gave me a kind of love I had never known before.

00:35:55These five years with you have been the happiest time of my life.

00:35:59I just never expected that happiness would end so quickly.

00:36:03In only five years, the man who once held me and promised to love me forever disappeared.

00:36:10For you, half a wink ago, I risked my life to undergo blood awakening.

00:36:15I only wanted to fully feel your emotions during our mate ceremony.

00:36:19But I never imagined that the first thing I would sense after awakening

00:36:23would be your desire intertwined with another beta.

00:36:26These past two weeks, I broke down.

00:36:28I despaired.

00:36:29And in the end, everything went quiet.

00:36:33I understand now.

00:36:35There is no such thing as forever.

00:36:40Thank you for once being part of my life.

00:36:43But in the next life, no, in any life,

00:36:47I never want to meet you again.

00:36:49By the third line, Cain had already lost control.

00:36:53He had never cried in front of anyone.

00:36:56Now, tears fell uncontrollably onto the screen.

00:37:01His face drained of all color.

00:37:04His body swayed, unsteady, before his legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees.

00:37:11Only now did he understand.

00:37:13I had awakened long ago.

00:37:16I had known everything.

00:37:18Fragments of the past two weeks flooded his mind.

00:37:22The gathering where his friends joked about him and the beta.

00:37:26The nights he brought her home.

00:37:28The way he left me before the ceremony, just to be with her.

00:37:33Even that call.

00:37:34When he let the beta interrupt without a second thought.

00:37:38The more he remembered, the sharper the pain in his chest became.

00:37:43Until he could barely breathe.

00:37:45What had he done?

00:37:46I had risked my life for blood awakening.

00:37:49And he had taken advantage of what he believed was my weakness.

00:37:53Indulging himself without restraint.

00:37:56He couldn't even begin to imagine it.

00:37:58I had returned home, heart full of anticipation, after awakening.

00:38:04Only to be met with the overwhelming sensation of his desire tangled with someone else's.

00:38:10The despair.

00:38:12The collapse.

00:38:14It must have shattered me.

00:38:16Endless pain spread through him.

00:38:18Suffocating.

00:38:20Inescapable.

00:38:21That day, when he heard me say I was leaving, it hadn't been about a friend.

00:38:26It had been about me.

00:38:29The signs had always been there.

00:38:31My death hadn't come out of nowhere.

00:38:34He had simply never seen it.

00:38:37In a daze, he thought he saw himself at 22.

00:38:41That younger version of him looked at him with nothing but disappointment.

00:38:45You betrayed Aria.

00:38:48You broke your mate bond.

00:38:50This is your punishment.

00:38:52Aria has left you forever.

00:38:53And the final lines of my message cut deeper than anything else.

00:38:58The little wolf he loved.

00:39:00Never wanted to meet him again.

00:39:04Only then did he realize how deeply I must have been hurt to write those words.

00:39:10And the one responsible for all of it was him.

00:39:13The moment the guests saw the coffin, shock rippled through the entire venue.

00:39:18Then, everything clicked.

00:39:21The delayed entrance.

00:39:23The explosive video.

00:39:26They understood.

00:39:27I had known all along.

00:39:29The video had been my doing.

00:39:32The coffin, delivered to the ceremony after my death, had been my final arrangement.

00:39:39A heavy silence settled over the crowd, followed by quiet sighs.

00:39:44One by one, the guests who had arrived in celebration began to leave, shaking their heads.

00:39:51In the end, only Cain remained.

00:39:54Kneeling in front of the coffin.

00:39:56At the burial, Cain stood off to the side like a man hollowed out, his expression numb,

00:40:02his soul already broken.

00:40:04Only when the coffin was about to be sealed beneath the earth did he suddenly snap back

00:40:09to himself.

00:40:11He lunged forward, eyes bloodshot, refusing to let anyone touch it.

00:40:16It took several people working together to drag him back and hold him in place.

00:40:22When the final shovel full of dirt fell, all that remained for him was a gravestone.

00:40:27And the black and white photograph of my smiling face.

00:40:31He broke free from their grip, dropped heavily to his knees, and leaned his forehead against

00:40:38the stone.

00:40:39His hand traced my name as tears slid endlessly down his face.

00:40:43Little wolf, this is all my fault, I'm sorry.

00:40:47But apologies that come too late never reached the one who needed them.

00:40:53Cain returned home like a walking corpse.

00:40:56There was no life left in his face.

00:40:58The moment he pushed open the door, he froze.

00:41:03It had only been three days.

00:41:06Yet the entire house felt unbearably cold.

00:41:10After we got together, I had always liked adding small things to the house, little decorations,

00:41:17soft touches, warm details that slowly turned that cold villa into something that felt like

00:41:23home.

00:41:23Now, there was nothing.

00:41:26Everything was gone.

00:41:28The house had reverted to what it had been five years ago.

00:41:34Cold.

00:41:35Empty.

00:41:36Lifeless.

00:41:38Cain stood there, staring at the unfamiliar familiarity of it all, on the verge of losing his mind.

00:41:46He summoned all the servants, his voice sharp with anger.

00:41:50Who threw away Aria's things?

00:41:52I never gave that order.

00:41:53Who dared to do it?

00:41:55The servants exchanged uneasy glances.

00:41:58Sir.

00:42:00Miss Aria told us to clear everything out three days ago.

00:42:04She had us pile it all in the backyard.

00:42:07Then she set it on fire herself.

00:42:11The last trace of light drained from Cain's eyes.

00:42:14At that moment, one of the servants stepped forward hesitantly and opened her palm.

00:42:20Sir, I found this while cleaning a few days ago.

00:42:24It looked valuable.

00:42:25Maybe Miss Aria threw it away by accident.

00:42:28Another servant approached, holding a bundle of white fabric strips.

00:42:33Sir, this was left in the house yesterday.

00:42:36It looked like a mate dress.

00:42:38There was a moonstone in the center, so I didn't dare throw it away.

00:42:44Cain reached out with trembling hands.

00:42:48In one hand, he picked up the ring.

00:42:51In the other, he touched the torn remains of the dress,

00:42:55his fingers brushing over the moonstone engraved with A and K, forever.

00:42:59The engagement ring he had made himself.

00:43:03The mate dress he had specially commissioned.

00:43:06A sharp, bone-deep pain spread from his chest through his entire body.

00:43:11He might have wondered, deep down,

00:43:13Aria, did you hate me that much?

00:43:19So much that you chose death to punish him?

00:43:23So much that you erased every trace of the happiness we once had?

00:43:27After the pain came something worse.

00:43:30Endless regret.

00:43:32Today was supposed to be the day he had looked forward to more than anything.

00:43:37The day he would finally complete the mate bond with the woman he loved.

00:43:42But he hadn't realized that he had already been standing at the edge of an abyss.

00:43:47And just as he was about to reach happiness, it struck.

00:43:52Dragging him down.

00:43:53Into a darkness with no end.

00:43:57No light.

00:43:59Not even a single trace.

00:44:03Kane drove everyone out of the house.

00:44:05Alone, he sat on the floor, holding the torn remains of the mate dress in his arms.

00:44:11The ring that once belonged to me now hung from his neck, threaded onto a cord.

00:44:16These were the last things that still carried my scent.

00:44:19With them, it almost felt like I was still there.

00:44:22Then, my phone in his pocket vibrated.

00:44:26He glanced down.

00:44:28A message.

00:44:29From the beta.

00:44:31Aria.

00:44:32So what if today is your mate ceremony?

00:44:35Do you believe I can still call Kane away with just one message?

00:44:38Don't think becoming Luna means anything.

00:44:42I'm carrying Kane's first pup.

00:44:44Tell me, what matters more, your ceremony or his child?

00:44:49Last night he had his face against my stomach, saying he couldn't wait for the baby to be born.

00:44:55He's already excited to be a father.

00:44:58That Luna position of yours won't last long.

00:45:01Another message followed.

00:45:03A photo.

00:45:05Kane.

00:45:06Pressing his face against her stomach.

00:45:09Kane's fingers tightened around the phone.

00:45:12Then he scrolled up.

00:45:14Message after message.

00:45:16All sent to me.

00:45:18I'm pregnant.

00:45:20Kane and I have been together for a year.

00:45:23You're a pretty pathetic Omega.

00:45:25Not just words.

00:45:27There were countless intimate photos.

00:45:31And even a video.

00:45:33The beta.

00:45:34Wearing a mate dress.

00:45:36Beneath him.

00:45:38Kane's breathing grew heavier.

00:45:40He remembered.

00:45:41When she found out about the ceremony.

00:45:44She had insisted on having a dress too.

00:45:47He hadn't thought much of it.

00:45:49Just a dress.

00:45:49He told the designer to make her one as well.

00:45:53By then.

00:45:54I had already awakened.

00:45:57Kane shut his eyes.

00:45:58The memory of the boutique flashed through his mind.

00:46:02My expression.

00:46:03My silence.

00:46:05A sharp pain twisted through his chest.

00:46:08Now he understood.

00:46:09That was why I had torn the mate dress to pieces.

00:46:14His gaze dropped back to the screen.

00:46:16His grip tightened until his knuckles turned white.

00:46:20Rage burned in his eyes.

00:46:22That beta.

00:46:24He had warned her countless times not to tell me anything.

00:46:28And yet she had gone behind his back.

00:46:31Provoking me again and again.

00:46:35His phone suddenly rang.

00:46:38He answered.

00:46:39On the other end.

00:46:41Her voice was trembling.

00:46:43On the verge of tears.

00:46:44Kane.

00:46:45My stomach doesn't feel right.

00:46:48Do you think something's wrong with the baby?

00:46:50Can you take me to the hospital?

00:46:54Of course.

00:46:55I'll be right there.

00:46:57I'll be waiting.

00:46:57The fragile tone was nothing like the messages on my phone.

00:47:01As if she were two completely different people.

00:47:05A cold aura settled over Kane.

00:47:07Her voice immediately brightened.

00:47:10Kane's eyes darkened.

00:47:12Since she wanted to see him so badly.

00:47:15He would make sure she got exactly what she wanted.

00:47:19On the other side.

00:47:21The beta froze for a moment when she heard how quickly Kane agreed.

00:47:25Then a surge of excitement rushed through her.

00:47:28She had assumed that today was Kane's mate ceremony with me.

00:47:32Even if she used the child as an excuse to pull him away.

00:47:36She expected it would take a lot of effort.

00:47:38But he agreed without hesitation.

00:47:41Did that mean her place in Kane's heart had already surpassed mine?

00:47:47Besides.

00:47:48She was carrying his only pup.

00:47:50A determined glint flashed across her eyes.

00:47:53She was probably thinking that even if I became Luna today.

00:47:58There was no guarantee I could hold on to that position.

00:48:02Before Kane arrived.

00:48:04She hurriedly changed into a sheer nightgown.

00:48:07Sprayed on his favorite scent based perfume.

00:48:10And reclined on the couch to wait.

00:48:13When Kane opened the door.

00:48:15The first thing he saw was her lying there in the thin fabric.

00:48:19A trace of coldness flickered through his eyes.

00:48:22So much for a stomach ache.

00:48:25More likely.

00:48:26This was just another trick to pull him away from Arya.

00:48:30It wasn't the first time she had used tactics like this.

00:48:34In the past, Kane treated her as nothing more than a distraction when he was bored.

00:48:39As long as she stayed obedient and catered to him, he didn't mind indulging her a little.

00:48:46But that never meant he would tolerate her trying to take a place that wasn't hers.

00:48:52In his mind, there had only ever been one mate.

00:48:56From beginning to end, that was me.

00:48:58And for my death, she would have to pay the price.

00:49:04The beta didn't notice the chill radiating from him.

00:49:07She was still lost in her fantasy of becoming Luna.

00:49:11When she saw him, she put on a fragile expression, and gently touched her flat stomach.

00:49:17Kane, I know today is your mate ceremony with Arya.

00:49:21I shouldn't have called you back, but my stomach really hurts.

00:49:24This is your first pup.

00:49:26I was worried something might go wrong, so I had no choice but to call.

00:49:32Kane looked at her coldly.

00:49:35Where does it hurt?

00:49:37She didn't catch the icy edge in his voice.

00:49:39She thought he was concerned about her.

00:49:42Just like before, she stepped closer, wrapping her arms around his neck and breathing softly near his ear.

00:49:49The baby says it misses its father.

00:49:53She had always been bold about things like this.

00:49:56She believed that my empathic sense was weak, that I could never give a man the same kind of experience

00:50:02in bed.

00:50:03That, in her mind, was the key to keeping Kane.

00:50:07And with the mate ceremony today adding an extra thrill, she was certain she could make him stay the night.

00:50:13She was already imagining how she would message me the next day to provoke me, completely missing the darkening expression

00:50:21on Kane's face.

00:50:23She took one of his hands and placed it on her stomach.

00:50:26When he didn't react, she guided his hand upward.

00:50:30Just as it was about to reach her chest, Kane slapped her hard across the face.

00:50:34Who gave you permission to touch me?

00:50:37She was knocked to the floor, five clear finger marks blooming across her cheek.

00:50:43Clutching her swollen face, she stared at him in disbelief.

00:50:48She had been with him for a full year, and he had never laid a hand on her before.

00:50:53What had changed?

00:50:55And she was carrying his child.

00:50:57How could he be so ruthless?

00:51:01Kane!

00:51:02What did I do wrong?

00:51:03Why would you hit me?

00:51:04Kane, haven't we always been like this?

00:51:07Her voice trembled, tears welling in her eyes.

00:51:11But the sight of her crying did nothing to soften him.

00:51:15His expression grew even darker, like a storm about to break.

00:51:20Who gave you the nerve to tell Arya about us?

00:51:25The beta's face went pale.

00:51:27She hadn't expected Kane to find out, but she still denied it on instinct.

00:51:32Kane, what are you talking about?

00:51:33I didn't say anything to Arya.

00:51:37Kane let out a cold laugh, his hand clamping down hard on her chin.

00:51:41You're still trying to lie?

00:51:44If I hadn't seen those messages myself, I never would have guessed best you had two faces.

00:51:50Playing the obedient little lamb in front of me, while acting arrogant as hell in front of Arya.

00:51:57I've warned you countless times, Arya is the only Omega I have ever truly loved.

00:52:02You are nothing more than a pet I kept around for amusement.

00:52:07You had a hand in Arya's death, and you're going to pay for it.

00:52:12His grip shifted to her throat, fingers tightening with each second.

00:52:17The veins in his arms stood out sharply, making him look terrifying.

00:52:23Driven by the instinct to survive, the beta clawed at his hand with both of hers, but he didn't loosen

00:52:29his grip.

00:52:29She stared at the face she had once been obsessed with, and for the first time, she felt nothing but

00:52:37fear.

00:52:38As the air in her lungs ran out, she forced out a single word.

00:52:46At that word, Cain abruptly released her.

00:52:50She collapsed to the ground, gasping for air, coughing violently, overwhelmed by the relief of still being alive.

00:52:59Cain looked down at her pathetic state without the slightest flicker of emotion.

00:53:04All he could think about was getting rid of the child.

00:53:07It was because of her that I had taken my own life.

00:53:11Now, every time he saw her, he was reminded that she had destroyed the person he loved most.

00:53:18Even the pup in her womb filled him with disgust.

00:53:22But as the beta recovered, a strange sense of joy rose in her heart.

00:53:27It was as if she had forgotten the terror from moments ago.

00:53:31Only one thought echoed in her mind.

00:53:34Arya was dead.

00:53:38Out of jealousy, she hadn't watched the mate ceremony or looked up any news about it.

00:53:45She hadn't expected something so drastic to happen.

00:53:48To her, it had only been a few provocative messages, and some suggestive photos.

00:53:55She never imagined I would be so fragile.

00:53:58Still, she felt grateful.

00:54:00This was her chance.

00:54:03Struggling to her feet, tears pooling in her eyes, she grabbed the hem of his shirt and pleaded.

00:54:10Cain, I didn't mean it.

00:54:12I just love you too much.

00:54:14I didn't want our child to be born with a bad name.

00:54:17I never thought Arya would take her own life over this.

00:54:20I was devastated when I heard.

00:54:23But she's gone now.

00:54:24We have to move forward, don't we?

00:54:28I'm carrying your pup.

00:54:29As she spoke, she gently stroked her still flat stomach.

00:54:34She knew Cain had always cared about the child.

00:54:37She assumed he had let her go earlier because he didn't want anything to happen to it.

00:54:43As long as she carried his pup, she believed she held a shield that would protect her from anything.

00:54:49She was wrong.

00:54:51Cain lifted his hand and lightly patted her cheek, his expression utterly cold.

00:54:57If you hadn't mentioned the child, I might have forgotten.

00:55:02Every time I think about how you caused Arya's death, I can't stand the sight of you.

00:55:08A child born from someone like you would only disgust me.

00:55:11The darkness in his tone finally made fear sink in.

00:55:15She stumbled back, clutching her lower abdomen with both hands, her voice trembling.

00:55:23Cain, what are you going to do to my child?

00:55:27He stepped closer, his voice cold and venomous.

00:55:31I'm having someone take you to the hospital to get rid of it.

00:55:35As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out his phone and ordered his bodyguards to take her away for

00:55:41the procedure.

00:55:42Come up, take her to the hospital, and arrange the procedure immediately.

00:55:47Tears streaming down her face.

00:55:49No!

00:55:50This is your child too, Cain!

00:55:52How can you do this?

00:55:54Despair filled her expression.

00:55:57She couldn't believe he could be this heartless, completely indifferent to the life inside her.

00:56:04Just yesterday, he had pressed his ear against her stomach.

00:56:08I want our child's first word to be, Dad.

00:56:12And now, he could order its death without even blinking.

00:56:16No, she would never accept this.

00:56:20This is a living being.

00:56:22It's the result of our love.

00:56:25Cain, just imagine it.

00:56:27Our child growing up, calling me Dad and me Mom.

00:56:30Um, wouldn't that be a beautiful life?

00:56:34She knew Cain hated being threatened, so she tried to appeal to his emotions.

00:56:40But he remained towering over her, his expression cold and unfeeling.

00:56:45Love?

00:56:47There's nothing noble about what we have.

00:56:50It's nothing but a physical relationship.

00:56:52The only person I love is Arya.

00:56:54The bodyguards rushed in as soon as they got the call.

00:56:57They pushed the door open and grabbed the trembling Beta, preparing to take her to the hospital as ordered.

00:57:04She struggled desperately, but they were professionally trained.

00:57:09There was no way she could break free.

00:57:12As she was about to be dragged out, she screamed at Cain with everything she had left.

00:57:18Cain!

00:57:18You say you only love Arya, but we spent so many nights together!

00:57:23Did none of that mean anything to you?

00:57:26You told me you loved me, too!

00:57:28Cain didn't react at all.

00:57:30He simply motioned for the bodyguards to take her away.

00:57:34All the way to the hospital, she fought against them,

00:57:37even trying to call out to the doctors and nurses for help.

00:57:41But this was a private hospital owned by Cain's company.

00:57:45Everyone there knew exactly who he was.

00:57:48Whatever he said, they followed.

00:57:51She was strapped to the operating table.

00:57:54As the anesthesia was injected, her consciousness slowly faded away.

00:57:59When she woke up again, even the slightest movement sent a heavy ache through her lower abdomen.

00:58:06Her pup was gone.

00:58:09The light in her eyes had completely faded.

00:58:12She stared blankly at the ceiling, hollow and motionless.

00:58:16After confirming with the doctor that the procedure was complete, Cain came to her bedside.

00:58:22When you're discharged, leave this city.

00:58:24I don't want to see you again.

00:58:28Every time he looked at her, he was reminded of his betrayal, reminded of my death.

00:58:34It felt like his heart was being carved apart.

00:58:38The beta's eyes shifted slightly.

00:58:40She already understood that becoming Luna was no longer possible.

00:58:44Now, she couldn't even remain as his lover.

00:58:48So, she gave up on everything.

00:58:52Cain.

00:58:53Cain, do you think you're some kind of tragic romantic now?

00:58:57You got rid of the illegitimate child, drove away your mistress, and now you get to mourn your dead lover

00:59:04all by yourself?

00:59:06Her mocking tone made Cain's fists clench.

00:59:09He shot her a sharp warning look.

00:59:11Enough.

00:59:12The first time we slept together, I didn't beg you.

00:59:15You were the one who couldn't resist and pushed me down.

00:59:18And a few days ago, you were the one who brought me home.

00:59:22You came downstairs in the middle of the night to find me.

00:59:25I never forced you.

00:59:28Aria's death was your doing.

00:59:30You're the one who drove her to it.

00:59:33Cain had already known, deep down, that his betrayal was what led to my death.

00:59:39But hearing it spoken so bluntly felt like a knife plunging into his heart all over again, tearing it open

00:59:47and leaving it bleeding.

00:59:48After a full day of spreading online, the news of Cain cheating with a beta had completely exploded across the

00:59:55internet.

00:59:56Trending topics were flooded with his name.

01:00:00Cain Scandal

01:00:01Cain Cheating with a Beta

01:00:03Aria Suicide

01:00:06A month ago, Cain's public courtship had already caused a massive sensation.

01:00:12He had even promised,

01:00:13The upcoming mate ceremony will be more spectacular than anything anyone has ever seen.

01:00:19People everywhere had been waiting to witness what they called, the mate ceremony, of the century.

01:00:26So when that highly anticipated ceremony turned into a funeral, when news broke that an Omega had taken her own

01:00:34life after discovering her Alpha's betrayal, and even had her coffin delivered to the ceremony site, it instantly captured everyone's

01:00:43attention.

01:00:45Cain's carefully crafted image shattered overnight.

01:00:50He went from being the most desired Alpha online to a man universally condemned for destroying the person he claimed

01:00:57to love.

01:00:59I'm done believing in love.

01:01:01What kind of trash Alpha is this?

01:01:03Aria deserves so much better.

01:01:06Why would she end her life over someone like him?

01:01:09Are all alphas like this?

01:01:11Acting one way in public and another behind closed doors?

01:01:15It's disgusting.

01:01:16I actually believed in their perfect love story.

01:01:19The backlash was relentless.

01:01:23Companies that had partnered with Cain's group began cutting ties one after another.

01:01:28In no time the entire corporation was thrown into turmoil.

01:01:33But Cain himself had shut himself inside his bedroom.

01:01:37He lay curled up on the bed, eyes closed, clutching the torn mate ceremony suit I had ripped apart, as

01:01:44if holding it close could somehow bring back my scent.

01:01:48His parents, who had been overseas on business, rushed back as soon as they heard the name.

01:01:54It took everything in the process to stop the clown's start of business, and keep the company from spiraling further.

01:02:01The moment they finished handling corporate matters, they hurried straight to the villa.

01:02:07As soon as they walked in, a servant approached them anxiously.

01:02:12Sir, ma'am, the young master hasn't left his room for over a day.

01:02:16We've brought food upstairs, but he won't eat.

01:02:19He won't answer the door either.

01:02:22We didn't dare force our way in, but it's been so long we're worried something might have happened.

01:02:27The moment they heard this, both of them felt their hearts drop.

01:02:31They hadn't realized their son had deteriorated to the point of refusing to eat.

01:02:37They rushed upstairs.

01:02:39Just as the servant had said, no matter how hard they knocked, there was no response.

01:02:44No matter how many times they called his name, there was only silence.

01:02:49Cain's mother's voice trembled with fear.

01:02:51Do you think something's happened to him?

01:02:55Break the door down.

01:02:59When the door was forced open, they found the curtains drawn tightly shut, blocking out every trace of light.

01:03:06Cain remained curled up on the bed, still clutching the torn mate ceremony suit.

01:03:11Even with everyone entering the room, he didn't react at all.

01:03:15The moment his mother saw how gaunt his face had become, her eyes filled with tears.

01:03:22England.

01:03:24Standing in front of the sprawling Ashford Manor, I still felt like I was dreaming.

01:03:30I was no longer Phoenix.

01:03:33Now, I was Lyra Phoenix.

01:03:36I never imagined that a simple trip abroad would lead me to finding my biological parents.

01:03:43On the plane, a well-dressed woman seated next to me kept glancing in my direction.

01:03:49Out of politeness, I greeted her first, and we quickly fell into conversation.

01:03:55She told me she was part of the werewolf kind, a Chinese family settled in England.

01:04:01This trip back had been for one reason only, she was searching for her missing daughter.

01:04:07She and her husband had been running businesses overseas for years.

01:04:11When their youngest daughter was born, it happened to be during a full moon, and they were in China at

01:04:17the time.

01:04:18They decided to stay an extra month, and leave after the baby's one-month milestone.

01:04:24But the day before they were supposed to leave, their daughter disappeared.

01:04:30They called the police immediately, and searched with friends, but after an entire month, there was still no trace.

01:04:37The authorities believed the child had likely been trafficked, and the chances of finding her were slim.

01:04:44With their visas expiring, they had no choice but to leave the country.

01:04:48Even so, they never gave up.

01:04:52They entrusted friends in China to continue searching, and every year, they returned to that same city, staying for a

01:05:00full month to look for her.

01:05:02This was the 26th year.

01:05:05Everyone around them had urged them to let go, but they held on to the smallest thread of hope.

01:05:11This time, they had returned empty-handed once again.

01:05:15But when she saw me, she felt an unexplainable sense of familiarity.

01:05:21That was why she had kept looking at me.

01:05:24Strangely enough, I felt the same warmth from her.

01:05:28Without even realizing it, I began telling her about my past.

01:05:33When she learned I was an orphan, and that I came from the same city where her daughter had gone

01:05:38missing,

01:05:39her emotions became visibly stirred.

01:05:41She grasped my hands tightly, and asked if I would be willing to take a DNA test after we landed.

01:05:49Looking at the hopeful expressions on both her face and her husband's, I found myself nodding.

01:05:59The moment we got off the plane, they had their driver take us straight to the fastest GenCore lab available.

01:06:06The wait felt endless.

01:06:08But when the results finally came back, everything changed.

01:06:13I was their daughter.

01:06:15The moment they saw the confirmation, they pulled me into their arms and broke down in tears.

01:06:22And for the first time in my life, I understood something I had never known before.

01:06:27I was not unwanted.

01:06:29My parents loved me.

01:06:31They had spent 26 years searching for me.

01:06:36After asking for my opinion, they kept the name Phoenix for me, but added a first name.

01:06:42Lyra.

01:06:43From that moment on, I became Lyra Phoenix.

01:06:47Ever since they found out who I was, my mother refused to let go of my hand, her eyes filled

01:06:54with warmth and affection.

01:06:56Even my father, who carried himself with quiet restraint, couldn't hide the redness in his eyes as he looked at

01:07:03me.

01:07:04When we arrived at the estate, my mother led me eagerly to a bedroom door, like she had been waiting

01:07:10for this moment forever.

01:07:12Phoenix, your father and I have been waiting for you to come home.

01:07:16We've kept your room exactly as it was for 26 years.

01:07:20Now you're finally here, and it finally has its owner.

01:07:24Her voice trembled as she spoke.

01:07:27My father gently placed a hand on her shoulder, then nodded toward the door.

01:07:32Go on.

01:07:33Take a look.

01:07:34See if you like what we prepared for you.

01:07:37A warmth spread through my chest, something I had never felt before.

01:07:42Family.

01:07:43I pushed open the heavy door.

01:07:46Inside was a beautifully styled European vintage bed.

01:07:50A window beside it looked out over the back garden.

01:07:53Then, the view stretching peacefully into the distance.

01:07:57The entire room was covered in soft carpeting, and right in the center sat a neat stack of boxes.

01:08:07Curious, I asked, what's in these?

01:08:09My father stepped forward, picked one up, and handed it to me.

01:08:14Open it and see.

01:08:15I carefully unwrapped it.

01:08:18Inside was a diamond bracelet.

01:08:21A realization hit me instantly.

01:08:24I rushed to open the rest.

01:08:26A princess dress.

01:08:28A crown.

01:08:29A necklace.

01:08:31One after another.

01:08:33There were exactly 26 items.

01:08:37No more, no less.

01:08:39My eyes burned as tears welled up.

01:08:43These were birthday gifts.

01:08:45Even when I wasn't with them, they had prepared one for me every single year, waiting for the day I

01:08:51would finally come home and open them.

01:08:55Growing up in the orphanage, the bullying had convinced me that no one in this world would ever love me.

01:09:02So when Cain entered my life like a blazing light, I fell for him without hesitation.

01:09:08But now I finally understood.

01:09:11Even when I didn't know it, my parents had always loved me.

01:09:15I stepped forward and wrapped my arms tightly around them.

01:09:20Mom, Dad, I'm home.

01:09:23Mom, my mom looked at me helplessly.

01:09:26Phoenix, I promise he's a good person.

01:09:29Just meet him once.

01:09:31If you don't like him, I'll find a way to call it off, okay?

01:09:35The first problem I faced after coming home turned out to be an arranged match.

01:09:41Back when my mom and her best friend were pregnant at the same time, they made a promise.

01:09:46If one had a boy and the other a girl, they would arrange a future match.

01:09:50If the children were the same gender, they would grow up like siblings.

01:09:55When they found out it was a boy and a girl, they were thrilled.

01:09:59They thought their friendship would turn into family.

01:10:03But not long after, I was taken.

01:10:06The arrangement was put on hold.

01:10:24After five years in a failed relationship, I still hadn't fully recovered.

01:10:30The idea of starting something new made me uneasy.

01:10:34But I didn't want to tell my mom everything I had been through.

01:10:37I didn't want her to worry, so I agreed to meet him.

01:10:41I figured I would just explain things clearly in person.

01:10:45Even being friends would be fine.

01:10:47The moment I nodded, my mom lit up with excitement, and immediately started setting a time, as if afraid something

01:10:55might change.

01:10:56The two mothers scheduled dinner for that very afternoon at the estate.

01:11:01By the afternoon, my mom had even called in a stylist to get me ready.

01:11:06I had no choice but to let her fuss over me.

01:11:11What I didn't expect was that when I finally met my so-called fiancé, I recognized him instantly.

01:11:19You?

01:11:21You?

01:11:22We spoke at the same time.

01:11:24I stared at the man in front of me, surprised.

01:11:28It was Vincent Gray.

01:11:29Vincent clearly hadn't expected it either.

01:11:32My mom and his mother exchanged a knowing look, smiles flickering across their faces as they quickly made excuses to

01:11:40leave, giving us space.

01:11:41For a moment, the large garden felt awkwardly quiet with just the two of us.

01:11:47Vincent broke the silence first.

01:11:50Aria.

01:11:51I didn't expect the daughter the Lyra family found to be you.

01:11:54We had gone to the same university back in China, studying in the same major.

01:12:00I nodded.

01:12:01Given the relationship between our families, he must have already heard what happened to me.

01:12:07There was no need to explain further.

01:12:10He hesitated slightly before speaking again.

01:12:13Aria.

01:12:16I remember your empathic sense.

01:12:19I instinctively touched the back of my neck.

01:12:22I had never told my parents about my weak empathic sense.

01:12:25I didn't want them to know how unhappy my childhood had been, it would only make them feel guilty, so

01:12:33I told him everything, my five-year relationship with Cain, how it ended, and how my empathic sense finally went

01:12:40through its awakening.

01:12:42At the end I added quietly,

01:12:45Vincent.

01:12:46Vincent, I need you to keep this between us.

01:12:48I don't want my parents to worry.

01:12:51He pretended to think for a moment, then said with a hint of reluctance,

01:12:55I can do that.

01:12:59But I have one condition.

01:13:03I blinked in surprise.

01:13:05I hadn't interacted with Vincent much before, but I remembered him as easygoing and kind.

01:13:11Still, I was asking him for a favor.

01:13:14It was only fair.

01:13:15What's the condition?

01:13:17He smiled, a playful glint in his eyes.

01:13:21Can I stop calling you Aria and call you Phoenix instead?

01:13:25And you don't have to call me Vincent so formally either.

01:13:28I hadn't expected something so simple.

01:13:31Ever since I changed my name, people around me had been calling me Phoenix.

01:13:36But somehow, hearing it from him felt... different.

01:13:41Of course, Vincent.

01:13:43Thinking about the arranged match, I hesitated before finally gathering the courage to speak.

01:13:50Vincent.

01:13:53You already know I just came out of a failed relationship.

01:13:57I'm not ready for anything new right now.

01:14:00About the arrangement.

01:14:02I had assumed that me being an Omega might make him feel embarrassed or slighted.

01:14:07But his expression stayed calm.

01:14:09It's fine.

01:14:12I'll explain it to my mum.

01:14:15Honestly, on my way here I was already thinking about how to bring this up.

01:14:19We're strong this up.

01:14:21Without affecting our family's relationship.

01:14:24He paused, then smiled.

01:14:26I didn't expect the Lyra family's daughter to be you.

01:14:31Even if we call off the arrangement, we can still be good friends, right?

01:14:35I'm not.

01:14:36Relief washed over me.

01:14:37I smiled and nodded.

01:14:39Of course.

01:14:40Maybe it was because we had shared the same university, the same memories.

01:14:45Having just arrived in England, everything still felt unfamiliar.

01:14:50But with Vincent, I felt a sense of ease I hadn't expected.

01:14:55We started talking about the past, and I realized we had so many shared interests.

01:15:01Before long, we grew closer, even meeting up from time to time to hang out.

01:15:07One day, after feeding seagulls by the coast, Vincent walked me back home.

01:15:13We ended up standing by the front gate, laughing and talking about everything that had happened earlier.

01:15:19I don't know how long we stood there.

01:15:21Then, from behind me, I heard a familiar voice.

01:15:24Little wolf.

01:15:28After spotting a familiar figure in the news, Cain used every connection he had to track down her identity.

01:15:35Because the Lyra family had deep roots overseas while Cain remained in China,

01:15:40it took him half a month to finally uncover information about me.

01:15:45The moment he saw the photo from the banquet, he knew.

01:15:49That was his little wolf.

01:15:51Even with a different name, he was certain, there was no mistaking it.

01:15:57He immediately began digging for the Lyra family's address.

01:16:01Once he confirmed it, he rushed to catch the earliest flight to England.

01:16:06On the way, he must have imagined countless scenarios of seeing me again.

01:16:12He thought the most likely outcome was that I would still be angry and refuse to speak to him.

01:16:17But that didn't matter.

01:16:19As long as he could see me, that would be enough.

01:16:23After experiencing my death, he had come to realize more than ever that he could not live without me.

01:16:30He planned to apologize sincerely.

01:16:33To promise that he would never be tempted by another Omega again.

01:16:37He even imagined that once I forgave him, he would hold an even grander mate ceremony.

01:16:43One that would surpass anything before it, and declare his love to the world.

01:16:50What he didn't expect was that when he finally saw me again, a month later, I was already standing beside

01:16:57another Alpha.

01:16:59Vincent and I had been talking, completely absorbed, for nearly an hour.

01:17:05Cain stood behind a wall like an intruder peeking into someone else's happiness.

01:17:11But the moment he saw that familiar figure, longing crashed over him like a tidal wave.

01:17:18Just before he could no longer hold it in, he finally called out the name he had been repeating in

01:17:24his mind.

01:17:25After nearly a month, he was seeing me again, alive.

01:17:30His eyes reddened, his voice unsteady.

01:17:33Little wolf, I finally found you.

01:17:37You're not dead.

01:17:39You're really here.

01:17:42He instinctively ignored the Alpha, standing beside me.

01:17:47The moment I heard that familiar voice, I let out a quiet sigh.

01:17:51I had always known the fake death wouldn't fool Cain forever.

01:17:56I just hadn't expected him to track me down in England this quickly.

01:18:01I gave Vincent a subtle look, signaling him to leave first.

01:18:06Then I turned around, my expression cold as I looked straight at Cain.

01:18:11Why are you here?

01:18:13Area is dead.

01:18:14I'm Phoenix now.

01:18:17Cain finally recalled everything he had learned over the past two weeks.

01:18:21His little wolf was never an orphan.

01:18:24I was Phoenix, the lost daughter of the Lyra family, their most cherished child.

01:18:30Little wolf.

01:18:31No, Phoenix.

01:18:34I know I was wrong.

01:18:36I've already dealt with the beta.

01:18:38The child is gone too.

01:18:41Can you forgive me?

01:18:43With his intelligence,

01:18:45it didn't take much to figure out that the body at the mate ceremony had been staged.

01:18:50It was nothing more than my way of escaping after my heart had already died.

01:18:56Now that he had finally found me again, the person he had thought about day and night,

01:19:01he was determined to apologize and beg for forgiveness.

01:19:05I let out a quiet laugh.

01:19:07I had seen with my own eyes how he treated the beta.

01:19:11And now he could dismiss everything so easily,

01:19:15saying he had taken care of her and the pup as if it meant nothing.

01:19:19I used to think he had simply transferred his love from me to someone else.

01:19:24Now, I understood the truth.

01:19:27He was rotten to the core.

01:19:29He didn't truly love anyone.

01:19:32Only himself.

01:19:34Kane,

01:19:34I regret ever loving you.

01:19:37Those few simple words drained

01:19:39all the color from Kane's face.

01:19:42He couldn't understand it.

01:19:43For five years,

01:19:45we had been so in love.

01:19:47We had been happy.

01:19:48How could I regret it now?

01:19:50And that word regret.

01:19:52Did it mean I didn't love him anymore?

01:19:57The thought alone made his chest tighten with pain.

01:20:01No.

01:20:02That couldn't be true.

01:20:04It had only been a month.

01:20:06How could I have stopped loving him so quickly?

01:20:09In his mind,

01:20:10I was still angry.

01:20:12I just hadn't forgiven him yet.

01:20:15But Kane stepped forward reaching for my hand,

01:20:18wanting to explain before he could touch me.

01:20:22I took a step back putting distance between us.

01:20:25The hurt in his expression was obvious,

01:20:28but he quickly tried to explain himself.

01:20:31Phoenix,

01:20:32I don't mean anything else.

01:20:34I just,

01:20:35I just want to explain.

01:20:36Believe me,

01:20:37I've only ever loved you.

01:20:41I never had real feelings for that beta.

01:20:46Can you forgive me and come back with me?

01:20:49I promise,

01:20:50there will never be another Omega around me again.

01:20:53I swear,

01:20:54I'll only love you.

01:20:56We can have an even grander mate ceremony.

01:20:59By the end,

01:21:01there was a flicker of hope in his eyes.

01:21:04I didn't react.

01:21:06My expression remained cold.

01:21:08Five years ago,

01:21:09when you got together with me,

01:21:10you made the same promise.

01:21:12You said you would only love me.

01:21:16And you still cheated.

01:21:18I won't believe you again.

01:21:20And I will never forgive you.

01:21:24You should leave.

01:21:26Don't come back.

01:21:27When I first discovered his betrayal,

01:21:31the pain had been unbearable.

01:21:33There was even a moment when I hesitated.

01:21:36Because he still treated me the same as before,

01:21:39I thought maybe I could pretend nothing had happened.

01:21:43Maybe we could complete the mate bond,

01:21:46and he would continue to treat me well.

01:21:50Maybe he would keep the other Omega out of my sight.

01:21:54But after lie,

01:21:55after lie,

01:21:56after seeing him entangled with the beta,

01:21:59with my own eyes,

01:22:01I realized,

01:22:02I couldn't do it.

01:22:03I couldn't live like nothing had happened.

01:22:07What I wanted had always been something real,

01:22:10a love that was honest.

01:22:14And once Cain tainted that love,

01:22:16I no longer wanted it.

01:22:18Back then,

01:22:20I had already made my decision,

01:22:22I would never forgive him.

01:22:24I turned to leave.

01:22:26But Cain wasn't ready to give up.

01:22:29In a moment of panic,

01:22:31he grabbed my wrist.

01:22:34Little wolf, I swear.

01:22:36My heart has always belonged to you.

01:22:38You're the only one I love.

01:22:40I pulled free from his grip and looked at him.

01:22:44The urgency and sincerity on his face didn't seem fake.

01:22:48But I only let out a soft, humorless laugh.

01:22:53Love me?

01:22:54You talked about the beta with your friends right in front of me.

01:22:59Was that love?

01:23:03You had my mate ceremony designer make a dress for her.

01:23:06Was that love?

01:23:10You snuck downstairs in the middle of the night to see her while I was asleep.

01:23:14Was that love?

01:23:15If that's your version of love,

01:23:17it's cheap.

01:23:18I don't want it.

01:23:20With every word Cain's,

01:23:23face grew paler.

01:23:24By the end he looked like he could barely stand.

01:23:28My words cut into him like a blade,

01:23:30tearing his heart apart piece by piece.

01:23:33Never in his life had Cain hated himself this much.

01:23:37If he had never gotten involved with the beta in the first place,

01:23:41none of this would have happened.

01:23:46Cain's voice trembled slightly.

01:23:48Little wolf,

01:23:49are you really never going to forgive me?

01:23:52I nodded without hesitation.

01:23:55That's right.

01:23:56Never.

01:23:57I didn't wait to see his reaction.

01:24:00I turned and walked inside.

01:24:03The next day,

01:24:05Vincent and I had plans to attend a concert.

01:24:08Ever since my empathic sense went through its awakening,

01:24:12I had grown especially sensitive to emotions.

01:24:16The calm of nature.

01:24:17The intensity of music.

01:24:19The sincerity or deceit in people's voices.

01:24:23Vincent happened to be a huge fan of classical music,

01:24:26and every time I went to a concert with him,

01:24:29I learned something new.

01:24:33Cain's stood outside the estate the entire night.

01:24:36My words from yesterday echoed endlessly in his mind.

01:24:41What once felt like relief after his first time with the beta

01:24:45had now come back like a blade,

01:24:47striking him full force.

01:24:49Still,

01:24:50he wanted one more chance.

01:24:52He refused to believe that five years of love could be erased so completely.

01:24:58After getting Vincent's message,

01:25:00I headed downstairs,

01:25:02humming like a carefree bird.

01:25:04My mom,

01:25:05who was having breakfast,

01:25:07teased me when she saw me.

01:25:09Who was the one who said they didn't want to meet him?

01:25:11Now it looks like you can't wait to see him every day.

01:25:14I'd say this match is looking pretty promising.

01:25:17Mom,

01:25:18we're just friends.

01:25:19But for some reason,

01:25:20I felt my cheeks warm.

01:25:23I quickly ran out the door.

01:25:25The tickets for today's concert were hard to get,

01:25:29and Vincent had told me that one of his favorite cellists would be performing.

01:25:34The moment I stepped outside,

01:25:36I saw Cain standing off to the side,

01:25:39completely still.

01:25:40I acted as if I hadn't seen him,

01:25:43and ran straight toward Vincent.

01:25:46He was holding a sandwich,

01:25:48and handed it to me naturally.

01:25:50My mom asked me to bring this for you.

01:25:53I took a bite.

01:25:57My eyes lighting up.

01:25:59Aunt Grace's cooking is as amazing as ever.

01:26:03Come on,

01:26:03we're gonna be late.

01:26:06You still haven't told me who else is performing today.

01:26:09Cain remained where he was,

01:26:11watching as I walked farther and farther away.

01:26:15The moment I stepped out,

01:26:17he had wanted to call out to me,

01:26:19to try one last time.

01:26:21But then he saw the light in my eyes.

01:26:25That bright,

01:26:26eager happiness.

01:26:28It was a look he knew all too well.

01:26:31Back when we were together,

01:26:32I used to look at him like that all the time.

01:26:35But now,

01:26:36he hadn't seen it,

01:26:38in nearly two months.

01:26:42When he thought back to the days before I staged my death,

01:26:46he realized something.

01:26:48Back then,

01:26:49my eyes had been empty,

01:26:51like still water without a ripple.

01:26:54Nothing could stir any emotion in me.

01:26:56And yet,

01:26:58at the beginning of our relationship,

01:27:00I had looked at him the way I had just looked at Vincent.

01:27:04That was when he finally understood.

01:27:08What this relationship had left me with was nothing but pain.

01:27:12He had no right to ask for my forgiveness anymore.

01:27:16He booked a flight back home that same afternoon.

01:27:19Before leaving,

01:27:21he realized he didn't have my current number,

01:27:23so he borrowed a piece of paper and a pen from a passerby,

01:27:27and wrote a message.

01:27:29He placed it somewhere visible by the gate.

01:27:32After one last look at the place where I would spend the rest of my life,

01:27:38he got into the car,

01:27:39and left.

01:27:43A gust of wind lifted the paper into the air.

01:27:50On it,

01:27:51there was only one sentence.

01:27:54Little wolf,

01:27:55please let me call you that a last time.

01:27:57Little wolf,

01:27:58please let me call you that a last time.

01:28:00I'm sorry.

01:28:02I wish you a lifetime of happiness.

01:28:04Spring in England.

01:28:06Vincent and I walked through the rose garden at Ashford Manor.

01:28:11Phoenix.

01:28:12Vincent said stopping in his tracks.

01:28:14His expression was more serious than I had ever seen before.

01:28:18I know you're not ready right now,

01:28:20but I want you to know,

01:28:22if one day you're willing to believe in love again.

01:28:25I'll be here waiting.

01:28:26I looked at him,

01:28:28warmth spreading through my chest.

01:28:30Maybe,

01:28:31one day,

01:28:32I would believe in love again.

01:28:35But for now,

01:28:37I was content.

01:28:39Loved by my parents.

01:28:40Surrounded by friends.

01:28:42Running freely under the moonlight.

01:28:45Feeling the breeze,

01:28:46and breathing in the scent of flowers.

01:28:50I am Phoenix.

01:28:51And I have risen from the ashes.
