00:00I am an Omega slave. In one month, if no free wolf is willing to claim me as his mate,
00:05I will be permanently registered as a pack slave.
00:07In bed, I once again begged Rowan, the man I had loved for three years, to mark me. Rowan, make
00:12me your mate.
00:14Elira, stop asking me to mark you. Aren't we fine the way we are? Let's try another position, baby.
00:22His thrust grew rougher, and I soon forgot what I had been about to say. That night, I had a
00:28dream.
00:29Alpha Ronan. In my dream, Rowan sat on the Alpha's throne, and everyone bowed before him.
00:34They called him Alpha Ronan. Claire, the great elder's daughter, stood beside him as his Luna.
00:40Rayan was with me only because Claire would not let him touch her. His appetites were too strong, but he
00:45could not bear to force himself on her, so he used me to satisfy his lust.
00:50I woke with a start, stunned by the absurdity of the dream. How could Rowan be Alpha Ronan?
00:55To find out the truth, I spoke as casually as I could during our meal the next day.
00:59Someone at the laundry said I looked a little like Lady Claire.
01:03Who said that? I've barely seen Lady Claire.
01:06Do you really look that much like her?
01:08My heart sank. He always touched his nose when he lied.
01:11He was obviously lying to me.
01:13The dream from the night before flashed through my mind again.
01:16If that dream is true, then who am I? A substitute.
01:18The next day, I accompanied Mia to the main residence to deliver the clean laundry. My mind elsewhere.
01:25A squad of guards blocked our path beside the creek in the gardens.
01:28Only then did we learn that the Alpha was taking a walk with Lady Claire.
01:31The head guard ordered us to take another route.
01:34Mia pulled me away, but something compelled me to circle back.
01:36I have been a slave for so many years.
01:38Whenever I saw the Alpha, all I could do was lower my head.
01:41This was the first time I looked up at him.
01:43He wore the long black coat that marked him as Alpha, standing with his hands behind his back.
01:48His unfamiliar Alpha era bore down on everyone, forcing the lower-ranking wolves nearby to bow their heads.
01:54And that face...
01:55Sure enough, it was Rowan.
02:00I hid behind the tree and stared at the man in the garden.
02:03For the past three years, he had deliberately concealed his Alpha era whenever he came to see me.
02:08Now he was smiling at Claire as he gently smoothed her windblown hair back into place.
02:13They looked unmistakably intimate.
02:16Everyone says the Alpha adores Lady Claire.
02:18I suppose it's true.
02:20I heard he stole her from another man.
02:22But Lady Claire still refuses to let Alpha mark her.
02:25Alpha also spoils her and sends all good things to her.
02:28Look at the necklace around her neck, which was just sent by the Northern Alliance a few days ago.
02:35So that was the truth.
02:37Rowan showered Claire with the finest jewels.
02:39Yet he still brought me little trinkets in private to keep me happy.
02:42Most of mine were handmade.
02:44How very considerate of him.
02:45In the evening, Rowan came to have dinner with me as usual.
02:49Slaves ate later than everyone else.
02:50Whenever Ronan visited, he only watched me eat.
02:53I had always assumed he had already eaten with his master while on guard duty.
02:57Only today did I learn that he was the master.
03:01What is it?
03:03Are you still angry because I refuse to mark you?
03:09It's not that I don't want to, Alara.
03:11I have my reasons.
03:12Just wait for me, okay?
03:13Besides me, do you have another woman?
03:16What are you talking about?
03:17Of course not.
03:18Once my position in the guard is secure, I'll think about our future.
03:22An alpha guard.
03:23That was the false identity he had invented so he could be with me.
03:26And I had believed it all this time.
03:28But Rowan would never mark me.
03:29And Claire would never tolerate my existence.
03:31That left me only one option.
03:33Sever my bond with the pack and leave.
03:37I submitted my petition for freedom to the Overseer.
03:40The Overseer looked through the list and quickly found my name.
03:42But her hand suddenly went still.
03:44What's wrong?
03:44That's strange.
03:45You meet every requirement.
03:46But your name has been specifically flagged.
03:49What do you mean?
03:49By order of the alpha, the slave Alara is forbidden from severing her pack bond.
03:54If I could not sever the bond and no man would mark me, I would remain a slave for life.
03:58No wonder he always smiled without answering.
04:00Whenever I talked about the life we would have someday, he had never intended to set me free.
04:04When Rowan came that night, I shoved him out and shut myself in my room alone.
04:09Alara, I know you were upset that your name was not on the list.
04:11But I am only a guard.
04:13I truly cannot help you with this.
04:14Am I supposed to accept that I'll be a slave for the rest of my life?
04:18I will take care of you.
04:22Exposing him now would only leave me more vulnerable.
04:24Until I found a way to escape, I had no choice but to endure it.
04:28I ignored Rowan for the next few days.
04:31Did you have a fight with that guard of yours?
04:35I heard the alpha has been in a terrible mood lately.
04:38He hardly even visits Lady Clair.
04:40Everyone at the main residence is walking on eggshells, terrified of provoking him.
04:44Late that night, I was jolted awake by frantic pounding on the door.
04:50Alara, you need to go check on Mia.
04:52Mia, it looks like she might not make it.
04:57I rushed to the entrance of Claire's residence and found Mia collapsed on the ground.
05:01She had bumped into Claire, been whipped, and then been forced to kneel.
05:06The pain left her unable to stand, and her infected wounds brought on a high fever.
05:10She had collapsed halfway back to our quarters.
05:14Only after we returned to our room did she tell me through tears what had happened.
05:17She came out just as I was going in.
05:19I could not move aside in time, so she became angry and ordered me punished.
05:24I sighed and applied the medicine to her wounds.
05:27A slave's life was worth little.
05:30Beatings and abuse were commonplace, and since the one who punished her was Claire,
05:34the great elder's daughter, nothing we said would make any difference.
05:38Mia was ill, so I had to take over her duties.
05:42The moment I delivered the clothes to Claire's residence, I heard her shriek.
05:47Ah!
05:48What is this?
05:49Are you using this kind of junk to serve me?
05:52This was given to me by Alpha!
05:55You can't even deliver a single dress properly.
05:59What good is it for the pack to keep useless trash like you?
06:02I lowered my glaze and saw a conspicuous tear in the hem of the dress.
06:06I had inspected it carefully before bringing it here.
06:09There had not been a single tear.
06:11A smear of Claire's nail polish remained beside the tear.
06:14She had clearly torn it herself.
06:16She is nothing but a lowly slave.
06:18If she has displeased you, punish her.
06:20That voice belonged to Rowan.
06:23The slaves in the pack are becoming more and more useless.
06:26One of them ran into me yesterday, and now this one has ruined my dress.
06:30Lady Claire, the one here today is Alara.
06:32She doesn't normally serve at the main residence.
06:34Clumsy hands are only to be expected from a low-ranking laundry slave.
06:37Ronan's movement stopped, his eyes staring straight in my direction outside the door.
06:41I stood outside the door with my head lowered and heard the wine glass in his hand knocking gently on
06:46the table.
06:46What's wrong, Alpha?
06:48Do you know this slave?
06:52Why don't you speak?
06:53Why would I know a slave?
06:55Then give her 50 lapses.
06:57Just take it out on my behalf, okay?
06:58He was the Alpha.
07:00One word from him, and those 50 lashes would never fall.
07:03But I waited for a long time, and all I waited for was his words.
07:06It's all up to you.
07:08Drag her away.
07:09Just do not beat her to death.
07:10Two guards immediately took me out.
07:12The moment the whip fell, I gritted my teeth.
07:15I told myself,
07:17Alara, remember today.
07:20This is the outcome of placing your hopes on others.
07:23If I can still get out of here alive, I will never trust Rowan again.
07:27After being whipped, I went to Claire to admit my mistake.
07:31Rowan was gone, and Claire was playing with the necklace in her hand, looking a little unhappy.
07:35On my way in, I heard the maids whispering that the Alpha had left soon after I was dragged away.
07:40Claiming urgent pack business.
07:41Claire was displeased.
07:42Claire waved her hand, as if she didn't want to talk to me anymore.
07:45Just as I turned to leave, Claire happened to glance my way.
07:48The moment she saw my face, she opened her eyes wide and stood up.
07:51Stop!
07:55It was getting late when we returned to the slave quarters.
07:58It's all my fault for causing you trouble.
08:00I wanted to comfort her, but my back hurt so much, and my legs and feet were shaking.
08:05I couldn't bear it anymore, and my eyes went dark, and I fainted.
08:08It was late at night when I woke up again.
08:11The moment I opened my eyes, I saw Rowan's face.
08:14How are you?
08:15Does it still hurt?
08:16Is it better?
08:16Do you want to drink water?
08:17I didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
08:19He still thinks that I don't know anything.
08:21You have no idea how frantic I was when I heard you had been whipped.
08:24I wished I could have taken every lash for you.
08:26Alara, I regret it so much.
08:27I hate that I was powerless to help you.
08:29Yes.
08:30What can you, a little guard, do?
08:33I will definitely protect you from now on.
08:35I'm tired and want to be quiet for a while.
08:37You can go back first.
08:38I put the medicine on the bedside.
08:40Remember to use it.
08:42Get some rest early and I'll come see you tomorrow.
08:45That little guard of yours is wonderful.
08:47He watched over you for half the night.
08:48I think you truly found yourself a good man this time.
08:51I said nothing.
08:52When Mia turned around, I picked up the medicine left by Rowan on the bedside
08:56and threw it directly into the trash can.
08:57It took nearly half a month for my injuries to heal.
09:00He came every day while I recovered.
09:02Sometimes for an hour, sometimes only a few minutes.
09:05And always brought something to help rebuild my strength.
09:07It's just that my injuries have healed and it's time for me to leave here.
09:14What, you want a gaunt to Lady Claire's place?
09:19When I left Claire's place that day, she saw my face.
09:22She studied my face for a long time.
09:25Then, as if an idea had occurred to her, a strange smile appeared.
09:29She ordered me to serve at her side and move into her residence immediately.
09:33This slave looks so much like me.
09:36Maybe it will be useful in the future.
09:38I don't know what the use is, but I don't have a choice.
09:41What about your little guard?
09:43Does he know?
09:44If he asks, just say you don't know.
09:47The place where Claire lives is different from other places.
09:50As soon as I entered, I was dragged by the steward to learn the rules again.
09:53As expected, Ronan searched everywhere for me.
09:57When Mia secretly came to visit, she said he had already called several times, though lately he had gradually stopped
10:03appearing.
10:04After a long time, I saw Claire again.
10:07She looked me up and down for a moment, the disgust in her eyes becoming more and more obvious.
10:11Do not think a change of clothes makes you a person.
10:15You really do look a little like me.
10:19But I hate it when someone imitates me.
10:22The tip of the knife was pressed down slightly, and it would cut with just a little more force.
10:27Seeing that I didn't even hide, Claire felt bored, snorted, and threw the knife to the ground.
10:32If that face of yours were not still useful, I would carve it to pieces.
10:39Thank you, Lady Claire.
10:41She ignored me and continued talking to her confident maid.
10:44You said the Alpha is searching for a slave.
10:45From where?
10:46Do you know who it is?
10:48I don't know.
10:49I heard that it just happened in the past few days, and Alpha's guards have been investigating.
10:55Men are all the same.
10:56He pretends to be devoted, then turns around and starts searching for another woman.
11:02Where is that person?
11:03Is he still outside?
11:05Lord Daemon has been waiting for a long time.
11:08Then let him keep waiting.
11:09He ignored me before, and now he finally remembers to come.
11:13It took me a moment to understand.
11:16Ronan's brother, Daemon.
11:18Before the accident several years ago, Daemon had been the pack's Ignaland Alpha heir.
11:23He's handsome, powerful, and more capable than any werewolf in the pack.
11:26But Wolfsbane poisoning ruined his health and cost him the Alpha position, which passed to Ronan.
11:31I've also heard a lot of rumors about him and Claire.
11:33It is said that Claire was originally his fiancée.
11:37Even after Daemon was poisoned, she had supposedly waited for him with unwavering devotion.
11:43Later, Ronan fell in love with Claire at first sight and forced her to stay with him.
11:47But she still refused to accept Ronan's mark.
11:50And in my dream, Daemon has always been deeply in love with Claire.
11:54After she was taken away by Ronan, he never married again until his death.
12:02Today Claire invited him over in the name of Great Elder, but refused to see him.
12:08I had seen him once from a distance.
12:10He stood outside and waited for a long time, his posture still upright.
12:15Although his face was a little pale, there was no trace of embarrassment at all.
12:20No wonder Claire can't let him go.
12:22As I passed the garden on my way back, I suddenly heard Claire speaking through tears.
12:27When our families first discussed the marriage, you did not care.
12:30When you were injured and left the pack, you did not care.
12:33Now Ronan has kept me at his side and you still show no reaction.
12:38Daemon, have you ever cared about me at all?
12:41What do you want me to do?
12:43Challenge Ronan for you?
12:46Or let the entire pack watch our brothers fight over a woman?
12:49At least you should be angry.
12:51At least you should want to take me back.
12:54I never wanted to stay with Ronan.
12:56You are the one I have always loved.
12:59Claire, that's enough.
13:05Daemon, you will regret it sooner or later.
13:08Early the next morning, Claire called me over.
13:11She looked terrible.
13:13Her eyes red as though she had been crying.
13:15I stood in the middle of the room, waiting quietly for her to speak.
13:22Alara, how about I find you a husband?
13:26I froze.
13:29Claire pinched my chin with hatred in her eyes.
13:33I originally planned to keep you here for the Alpha's use, but I have changed my mind.
13:38I want you to marry Daemon.
13:39What do you say?
13:41Her pinch on my jaw gradually became stronger.
13:43You look so much like me.
13:46Imagine him having to see your face every day.
13:49That should be amusing.
13:50I'm just an Omega slave.
13:52Lord Daemon may not be willing to marry me.
13:54A ruined former Alpha heir and a lowly slave.
13:57A perfect match, is it not?
14:01Does it matter what people like you think?
14:03All right.
14:04What?
14:04I said I will marry him.
14:06If Lord Daemon agrees, please arrange it as soon as possible, Lady Claire.
14:12You are so desperate to escape slavery that you would throw yourself at a cripple.
14:17How pathetic.
14:18Once the paperwork is complete, I can leave at any time.
14:23In the evening, Ronan came to Claire's place for dinner, and she stayed with him the whole time.
14:28I was packing things next door, and vaguely heard Claire asking him to approve the marriage she arranged for Daemon.
14:34An Omega slave for Daemon?
14:37Are you really willing to do that?
14:39What do you mean?
14:40Why would I be reluctant?
14:42I've figured it out.
14:43No matter how good Daemon is, he can't compare to you.
14:46Since he is so cold-blooded, why should I keep waiting for him?
14:50It would be better to let him marry someone else.
14:52I have completely given up this idea.
14:55Good.
14:56Very good.
15:01You are finally willing to let him go.
15:04Claire, you don't know how long I have been waiting for this day.
15:07Then will you approve it or not?
15:09As long as you are happy, I will do anything.
15:12Ronan picked up the pen and signed his name without looking carefully.
15:15Soon, the marriage application was delivered to me.
15:18I looked at the signature at the bottom and smiled softly.
15:21The man who refused to give me my freedom personally approved my marriage to his brother,
15:26and he did not even know I was the bride.
15:30With everything settled, I remained at Claire's residence to await the wedding.
15:34But before the ceremony could take place, Ronan found me.
15:38Wearing his guard uniform, he seized my wrist.
15:41His eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was terrifying.
15:45Why did you not tell me you had come to Claire's residence, Alara?
15:48Why have you been hiding from me?
15:49Do you have any idea how worried I have been?
15:52I swallowed my scorn.
15:53For now, I could not let him know that I had uncovered his true identity.
15:57Once the marriage was official, I would no longer be a pack slave whom anyone could dispose of at will.
16:02As Damon's lawful wife, I would be protected by pack law.
16:06Until then, I had to keep up yet with Ronan.
16:09I made a mistake, and I'm afraid I'll hurt you.
16:11Besides, Claire's place has strict rules, so you can't always come here.
16:15Do not worry.
16:16Claire may have a temper, but she would never mistreat you without cause.
16:20You are overthinking it.
16:21She would never torment me without cause.
16:23Did I bring those fifty lashes on myself?
16:26Claire was born into a noble family and spoiled from childhood.
16:29Of course she has a temper.
16:31You are only a slave.
16:32It was a few lashes.
16:34Once you healed, everything was fine, was it not?
16:37Don't make her unhappy in the future, and I can worry less about you.
16:41As he said that, he lowered his head to kiss me and put his hands around my waist.
16:45I don't want to do it today.
16:47Alara, I have indulged you enough.
16:49How long has it been since we were together?
16:50Now you will not even let me touch you.
16:52I said nothing and refused to look at him.
16:54Fine. Reject me today if you want, but you had better not regret it with later.
17:01The door was slammed hard.
17:03I stood there and then I remembered that today is my birthday.
17:09Soon someone came to urge me to work for Claire.
17:12The moment I arrived, I saw the bed curtains swaying.
17:16From behind them came the unmistakable sounds of bodies colliding.
17:19Slow down. I can't take it anymore.
17:21Say my name and tell me how much you want.
17:23Ronan, I'm yours.
17:24You don't know how much I love you and no one can compare with you.
17:28After one piercing cry, the sounds behind the curtains gradually died away.
17:32I sat down and waited.
17:33They went at it four times that night.
17:35The room did not finally fall silent until after midnight.
17:38Early the next morning, Claire got up first, and I hurried over to help her change.
17:45Halfway through, the man on the bed woke up.
17:47What are you doing up so early, baby?
17:48Come here and lie down with me for a while.
17:50I lowered my head and tightened the tie on the back of Claire's petticoat without even raising my eyelids.
17:55I don't want to.
17:56You were acting crazy last night.
17:58My legs are still weak now.
18:00You finally agreed to behave and let me have you last night.
18:03You can hardly blame me.
18:03If you keep talking nonsense, you will sleep on the floor tonight.
18:06I stood with my head down and was about to leave the room when I heard Claire scolding me impatiently.
18:09Are you blind?
18:11Didn't you see Alpha wake up?
18:12Why don't you go over and help him get dressed?
18:16I walked over slowly.
18:18I thought about exposing him countless times.
18:20I had never imagined it would happen at Claire's bedside.
18:23His body still bear intimate traces from the night before.
18:26The instant our eyes met, his pupils constricted sharply with Shaw Hook.
18:30It's you?
18:32What is it?
18:33Nothing.
18:35I only thought this maid looked familiar.
18:39Alpha, I will help you change your clothes.
18:42He stared at me, jaw clenched so tightly his teeth trembled, and let me dress him.
18:46Only when Claire emerged did he turn his face away, visibly shaken.
18:49Of course she looks familiar.
18:50This wretched slave bears some resemblance to me.
18:53No matter what I did after that, Ronan was obviously absent-minded and looked at me again and again.
18:58When Claire left, he immediately closed the door.
19:02He put his arm on my side, trapping me in front of the wall.
19:06You already knew.
19:07Then why did you not tell me?
19:08You watched me make a fool of myself and worry about you.
19:12Was that amusing?
19:15Alpha, who is lying to whom?
19:20That is not what I meant.
19:21I hid my identity because of Claire.
19:23She refused to accept me then.
19:25I only...
19:26But it is not as though I feel nothing for you, Alara.
19:28You know how I have treated you these past three years.
19:31And on your birthday, I truly meant to stay with you.
19:34But Claire suddenly agreed to see me.
19:36How could I possibly abandon her for you?
19:38He could not even make his lies hold together anymore.
19:40I know.
19:41So when does Alpha plan to mark me and make me officially your mate?
19:47Alara, don't push me.
19:48As expected.
19:49After all those words, when it came time to give me a legitimate status, he still refused.
19:53It was probably when he saw that I didn't cry that he gradually relaxed.
19:57Before leaving, he paused and whispered...
19:58Alara, give me a little more time.
20:00I nodded readily.
20:01There is no time.
20:02In a few days, I will marry Daniel.
20:07Ronan probably felt guilty.
20:10After admitting the truth,
20:12He began treating me exceptionally well.
20:14Whatever Claire had, he secretly gave me something comparable.
20:19He only warned me again and again never to let Claire find out.
20:24One time I was wearing the jewelry he gave me,
20:27and Claire almost saw me, and he lost his temper.
20:30Even when Claire deliberately punished me,
20:33he just looked on coldly and didn't say a word.
20:36I've long stopped feeling sorry for these things.
20:40I kept all the things he sent me that I could keep,
20:43and exchanged the ones I couldn't keep for money.
20:45At least I won't be left with nothing after I leave here.
20:48Meanwhile, the wedding day is getting closer.
20:50I have never seen Damon come to me in private,
20:53and have no idea why he agreed to this marriage.
20:56All I know is that for me,
20:58this is the only chance to get rid of the pack's slave status before the deadline.
21:02On the wedding day, the weather was beautiful.
21:05I put on a formal wedding gown and a long veil,
21:08then departed from Claire's residence as a bride.
21:11The sudden clatter of approaching hooves have sounded outside.
21:15Lord Damon is here.
21:19He had actually come to escort me himself.
21:25Damon stood outside the door.
21:26He was still pale, but impeccably dressed and standing perfectly straight.
21:30Damon, I will ask you one last time.
21:32Are you truly willing to leave me with Ronan?
21:35Damon said nothing.
21:36In front of Claire, he took my hand and led me away.
21:39I met Ronan when I was leaving.
21:40His gaze skimmed over my veiled face before settling on Damon.
21:43Then he spoke pointively.
21:45Congratulations.
21:46Now that you're married, forget the past,
21:48treat your wife well,
21:49and stop thinking about people who don't belong to you.
21:51I hope you can keep going this time.
21:53Thank you, Alpha.
21:53Of course we will keep going.
21:55He placed deliberate emphasis on the final few words.
22:00The carriage slowly stopped in front of the manor.
22:03I lifted the curtain and was about to step down from the carriage when I paused.
22:07There were people standing in front of the door,
22:08and the butler led dozens of servants to line up neatly.
22:11Damon jumped down first, turned, and held out his hand to help me.
22:14I took his hand and stepped out of the carriage.
22:17Instinctively, I glanced toward the side entrance where rubbish was piled.
22:20Slaves like me had once been permitted to use no other door.
22:22But now the butler stepped across it, bowed deeply, and declared,
22:26Welcome, my lady.
22:30Let's go. From now on, this will be your home.
22:33Inside the main hall, the butler approached, carrying a gilded tray.
22:36Resting on it was a heavy ring of keys to the estate's treasury,
22:39which he presented to me with both hands.
22:41What does this mean?
22:42From now on, you are the lady of this manor.
22:44All household affairs are yours to manage.
22:49Take it.
22:50I looked at the butler in front of me, who bowed his head in obedience,
22:53then at Damon beside me, and tightened my knuckles.
22:55In the evening, Donan drank and chatted with the wedding guests in the main hall.
22:58I sat on the edge of the bed, clasping my hands tightly on my knees,
23:02and my mind drifted back to that dream unconsciously.
23:04In the dream, Donan had always loved Claire.
23:07After Donan took her from him, Donan eventually died from his illness.
23:10Now he had been forced to marry an Omega slave who resembles Claire.
23:14He probably despised this humiliating marriage and could never care for me.
23:18The door opened.
23:19Damon walked in.
23:20He looked like he had drunk some wine, and his pale cheeks were slightly red.
23:23Without saying a word, he approached and stopped in front of me.
23:26I took a deep breath, stood up, and distanced myself from him.
23:29Don't worry, I know you don't want to marry me.
23:34This is only a marriage of convenience.
23:37I will not ask you to fulfill any duties as my mater.
23:40I will sleep in the guest room next door.
23:43If Claire ever changes her mind and wants to return,
23:47I will step aside whenever she wishes.
23:51After that, without waiting for his answer,
23:53I turned around, picked up the pillow on the bed, and walked out the door.
23:56I had taken only two steps when someone suddenly seized my wrist from behind.
23:59I turned around in shock.
24:00Damon was staring down to me with a hint of drunkenness in his eyes,
24:03his eyes locked on my face.
24:04Who told you that I don't want to marry you?
24:10I froze in place.
24:11And who told you that I loved Claire?
24:15Everyone says you were once engaged.
24:17After Ronan took her, you mean...
24:18The two families did talk about marriage, that's all.
24:21I have never loved her, nor have I disliked you because of her.
24:23I didn't know what to say.
24:25He took the pillow from my arms and threw it back on the bed.
24:28You sleep in the bed tonight, and I'll go next door.
24:30You don't have to, because I'm your wife.
24:33Elida!
24:35I married you to free you from slavery.
24:38Not to make myself your new master.
24:44Come to me when sharing my bed is truly what you want.
24:48Until then, you owe me nothing.
24:55I stood there alone, looking at the bunch of keys on the bedside.
24:58This is the first time since I was born that someone told me,
25:01as an Omega, I can choose for myself.
25:04The days went on like this.
25:06I also slowly learned about the story between Claire and him.
25:09It turned out that the former Alpha had once casually adjusted a marriage alliance.
25:13Claire had treated herself as Damon's future wife ever since,
25:16convincing the entire pack that they were engaged.
25:19Later, Damon was poisoned with Wolfbein and left the pack to recover.
25:23He knew nothing of the rumors circulating in the capital.
25:26That was why Damon had shown no reaction when Ronan took Claire for himself.
25:31During the day, I learned the workings of Damon's manner and its affairs.
25:34Before long, even those who had looked down on me as an Omega slave began to accept me.
25:39I also did my best to fulfill my duties as Damon's wife.
25:43He gradually grew warmer toward me than he had been at the beginning of our marriage.
25:47Though he remained outwardly aloof, he remembered what I liked,
25:50brought me sweets when he went out,
25:52and occasionally gave me small gifts.
25:54Sometimes it even gives me an illusion.
25:56Maybe he kind of likes me?
26:05Damon has been in poor health since the accident.
26:07Every day, the Heath had brought medicine to suppress the lingering effects of the wolf's vein,
26:10but Damon refused to drink it.
26:11When I brought the medicine over for the first time,
26:13he leaned on the bedside and only glanced at it.
26:14Leave it there.
26:15The doctor said you have to drink it.
26:17I don't want to drink.
26:18I didn't know what to do for a moment.
26:20He even looked a little defiant.
26:21This medicine can't cure me.
26:22If I don't drink it, what can you do to me?
26:24Indeed, I can't force him.
26:25But the doctor said that if he continues like this,
26:27his health will only get worse.
26:28I picked up the medicine and took a big slip.
26:30Before he could finish, I seized the back of his neck and kissed him.
26:33The bitter potion spilled between our lips.
26:34He froze.
26:35I leaned closer and slowly passed the medicine into his mouth,
26:38forcing him to swallow.
26:39If you don't drink tomorrow, I can only use the same method again.
26:41A few days later, I walked in again, holding the medicine bowl.
26:45Without saying a word, he took the medicine bowl and drank it in one sip.
26:52I took out my handkerchief, bent down,
26:54and carefully wiped away the medid stains from the corners of his lips.
26:58You look better.
26:59Looks like the medicine isn't completely useless.
27:02The medicine does not do much.
27:03I reached for the empty bowl,
27:05but my sleeve slipped back, revealing a scar at my wrist.
27:07What's this?
27:10It's just an old wound left in the main house.
27:13Does it still hurt?
27:15It aches when the weather is overcast.
27:18But after enduring it for so long,
27:20I have grown used to the pain.
27:22Damon took out a jar of ointment,
27:23took my hand,
27:24dipped his fingertips in the ointment,
27:26and applied it gently on my scar.
27:27Under my roof, you will never have to endure anything again.
27:31Not long after,
27:32Mia came to see me secretly.
27:34Alara, did you know?
27:35The Alpha's temper has been terrifying lately.
27:37He has been searching for you,
27:38and has questioned Lady Claire several times.
27:41People at the main residence say he flew into a rage a few days ago.
27:44Someone mentioned you,
27:45and he smashed a cup on the spot.
27:47I knew he would find out sooner or later.
27:49I just didn't expect it to be so soon.
27:51Where is that Omega named Alara who used to serve you?
27:54I have not seen her lately.
27:56You did not know?
27:57Know what?
27:57She is already married.
27:59It's the marriage that you personally approved.
28:02You saw her on the wedding day,
28:03and asked Daemon to treat his wife well.
28:05What are you talking about?
28:07What's wrong?
28:09Is that slave Alara?
28:11Yes.
28:11Who asked you to marry her to Daemon?
28:14Why are you angry at me?
28:15Isn't this engagement sealed and approved by you yourself?
28:20A few days later,
28:21I went out to run earrings in a nearby town.
28:24On my way back through the forest beyond the Pax territory,
28:27I encountered Ronan again.
28:30Alara, did you leave me on purpose?
28:33You resent me in your heart.
28:35Hate me for lying to you.
28:37Hate me for refusing to mark you, right?
28:39It's all over.
28:40It is not over!
28:43Alara, you are being unfair to me.
28:45How ridiculous.
28:46He could decide whether I was allowed to be free.
28:48He could keep me enslaved to the Pax for life.
28:51Yet now he accused me of being unfair to him.
28:53If I say that I can restore your free status
28:56and let you officially stay with me,
28:58can you go back with me?
28:59You will have everything Claire has.
29:01And I can give you the best of everything.
29:04Enough!
29:05I have no interest in a place at your side.
29:09Alara, believe me.
29:10I took one woman from Daemon,
29:11and I can take another.
29:15After returning to the manor,
29:16I hesitated for a while and told Daemon about it.
29:19He nodded and said nothing.
29:22I did not know whether,
29:23if Ronan truly tried to take me,
29:25Daemon would remain as indifferent
29:26as he had been towards Claire.
29:28But I did not know by what right I could ask him.
29:31Beginning the next day,
29:32he suddenly became busy.
29:33He would leave the manor before dawn
29:35and return late at night.
29:36Many strangers also came to the manor
29:38one after together.
29:39Whenever they saw Daemon,
29:40they bowed their heads
29:41and followed him into the study.
29:42What happened recently?
29:44It's nothing.
29:45You can stay at the manor peacefully.
29:47The calmer he spoke,
29:49the more uneasy I felt.
29:51Until that night,
29:52when I drank the hot tea brought by the maid,
29:55I soon felt something was wrong.
29:58My vision blurred,
29:59and my body grew heavy.
30:01I lost consciousness
30:02before I could even call for help.
30:07When I woke up again,
30:08I was lying on a strange bed.
30:11Ronan was sitting not far away,
30:13and when he saw me opening my eyes,
30:15he walked over as if nothing happened.
30:20Elyra, don't be afraid.
30:21I know all about Claire's abuse of you before.
30:23I have locked her up.
30:24No one can hurt you again.
30:25We are still the same as before.
30:28You still dare bring up the past?
30:29You secretly married Damon to spite me,
30:32but I am willing to overlook that.
30:34Besides,
30:35he has not marked you yet.
30:37Ronan, you are still like this.
30:39Whatever you want, you must get it,
30:40no matter whether others want it or not.
30:42I'm giving you a chance to choose again.
30:47I am already married,
30:48and there is no way I can go back.
30:52Don't touch me!
30:53Didn't you always want me to mark you before?
30:55Now that you've been married to Damon for a few days,
30:57you won't even let me touch you?
30:59He pushed me down on the bed and tore my collar open.
31:01I kicked at him with all my strength,
31:03snatched an object from the bedside table,
31:05and smashed it against his head.
31:08Fine.
31:09You care so much about Damon?
31:11Then I will have him dragged here
31:12and cripple him before your eyes.
31:14He slammed the door and left,
31:15but my heart suddenly sank.
31:17Given Damon's condition,
31:18if Ronan truly sent men after him,
31:20I can't even think about it.
31:22Ronan did not return over the next few days.
31:24Instead,
31:24he amined several burly female attendants
31:26to watch me constantly.
31:27I wanted to send a message to Damon,
31:29but I could never find a chance to get out.
31:31A few days later,
31:32the pack's war horns suddenly sounded.
31:34I opened the window.
31:35I saw cavalry and black armor
31:37standing on the ridge in the distance.
31:39No flag,
31:39no emblem.
31:40Everyone in the horses were silent.
31:42It is the Black Guard.
31:44The legendary Black Guard appeared
31:46only during the Continental War.
31:48They are the mightiest fighting force
31:50on the continent,
31:50and no pack has ever defeated them head on.
31:53Why had a force that existed
31:55only in legend suddenly appeared here?
31:58Before the main residence,
32:00hundreds of guards had entered partial ships,
32:02bearing their fangs and extending their claws.
32:04Low growls rippled through the ranks,
32:06yet not one dared attack the Black Guard first.
32:08Ronan stood at the top of the steps,
32:10his expression extremely ugly.
32:12Who gave you the courage to break into my pack?
32:14No one answered.
32:15They stood in silence,
32:16their presence crushing.
32:17Suddenly,
32:17every black armored rider dismounted
32:19in perfect munition
32:20and knelt on one knee,
32:21all facing the same direction.
32:23The crowd parted like a tide.
32:24Damon walked out,
32:25clad in black.
32:25The black armored commander bowed his head to him.
32:27Commander,
32:29impossible.
32:30Father told me the Black Guard
32:31was disbanded years ago.
32:33He lied.
32:35Before he died,
32:36Father gave them one final order.
32:38If you proved worthy of the Alpha title,
32:41they would never appear.
32:42But if you were unfit to rule,
32:45they would answer only to me.
32:48Even as he died,
32:50he trusted only you.
32:52He gave you the Alpha title
32:54and the strongest army.
32:55Then who am I?
32:57Who am I?
32:59That's between you and him.
33:01I'm not here to answer that today.
33:03I'm here to take Alara away.
33:06For an Omega slave,
33:08you reveal all the cards you have hidden
33:10for so many years.
33:12She is not a slave.
33:14She is my fated mate.
33:25You have been Alpha
33:26all these years
33:27and I could not be bothered
33:28to interfere.
33:29But my refusal to fight you
33:31does not mean
33:31you may take what is mine.
33:34When I took Claire for myself,
33:36you did not react like this.
33:38Claire,
33:40who she chooses
33:41is none of my concern,
33:43but Alara is my wife.
33:47Daemon slowly raised his hand.
33:49Hundreds of swords
33:49were unshielded at the same time,
33:51gleaming with cold light.
33:53I tolerated it
33:54when you hurt her.
33:55I spared you
33:55when you came after her
33:56a second time.
33:57Try it again
33:59and I will take your throne.
34:03You would rebel over a woman.
34:06Have you forgotten
34:07that I am your own brother?
34:10No one matters more
34:12than my mate.
34:13Blackguard,
34:14escort my wife home.
34:16Yes, Commander.
34:17The Black Armored Cavalry
34:18all made way for them.
34:20At that moment,
34:21the entire pack
34:22finally understood the truth.
34:24The former Alpha heir
34:25who had been ill
34:26for many years
34:26and was almost forgotten
34:27by everyone,
34:28he had never truly
34:29lost his fangs.
34:30After returning to the manor,
34:32Daemon didn't say a word.
34:33Only after the door closed
34:34did his grip tighten
34:35on the edge of the table.
34:36Then he suddenly coughed up
34:37a mouthful of blood.
34:38Daemon!
34:39He raised his hand
34:40to signal me
34:40not to call anyone.
34:41I'm fine.
34:42I helped him sit
34:43on the edge of the bed
34:43and unbuttoned his coat.
34:45He ruled these years
34:45the scar from that blade
34:46had faded considerably
34:47but the wolf's vein
34:48coating the blade
34:49had damaged his body
34:49for far too long.
34:50At this moment,
34:51an abnormal dark color
34:52appeared around
34:53the old injury again.
34:53Only then did I understand.
34:54He had been nowhere near
34:55as unaffected as he had appeared.
34:57I lowered my head
34:57to treat his wound.
34:58My hands were shaking
34:59and tears fell
34:59one drop by a time.
35:00Why are you crying?
35:01You knew your body
35:02could not withstand this.
35:03Why did you bring out
35:04the Blackguard?
35:05You see?
35:06I am fine.
35:09You were busy with this
35:10some time ago, though, right?
35:12I thought you...
35:13All these years
35:15I have had no desire
35:16to fight for the Alpha title
35:17or involve myself
35:18in pack affairs.
35:19I only wanted to recover
35:20in peace.
35:20But if he has his mind
35:22set on you,
35:24I can't ignore it.
35:28Do not be afraid.
35:30As long as I draw breath,
35:32no one will take you from me.
35:33In that moment,
35:34his actions gave me
35:35the best possible answer
35:36to the question
35:36I had never dared ask.
35:40The next day,
35:41Claire suddenly appeared
35:42at the manor.
35:43She had obviously heard
35:44about the Blackguard as well.
35:46From the moment
35:47she saw Damon again,
35:48she barely took
35:49her eyes off him.
35:51Damon.
35:52She reached out her hand,
35:53trying to grab Damon's arm,
35:55but Damon indifferently
35:56sidestepped her.
35:57It doesn't matter,
35:58everything can start again now.
36:00Damon didn't even look at her.
36:01She turned her head
36:02and saw me.
36:05Ilara,
36:06take it.
36:08What?
36:09Married for a few days
36:10and already forgotten
36:11how to serve your betters?
36:12Claire, I am no longer
36:13your slave.
36:13Not a slave.
36:14You do not honestly think
36:16marrying Damon
36:16has made you my equal.
36:17Do you?
36:18Damon, since your body
36:19is recovering,
36:20just leave her in the manor
36:21to do chores.
36:22From now on,
36:23just let her continue
36:24to serve us.
36:25After all,
36:26I was always meant
36:27to be your true mate.
36:28Alara is my wife.
36:31And the only mate
36:32I acknowledge in my life.
36:35What?
36:37She's just a lowly slave.
36:40Because you are not her.
36:42Impossible!
36:43You don't even like me
36:44and you definitely
36:45don't like her either.
36:46You haven't marked her yet.
36:47Are you lying to me?
36:49Who says I don't like her?
36:54I like her.
36:55But I haven't told her yet.
36:58I'm still waiting for her
36:59to fall in love with me.
37:02You just look a little alike.
37:04Other than that,
37:04there's nothing the same.
37:06She has the most beautiful soul
37:07I've ever seen.
37:08And you,
37:10you only make me think
37:11it is a pity.
37:13That face belongs to you.
37:15It's all because of you.
37:16I'm going to kill you!
37:18Damon stood in front of me,
37:19grabbed her wrist hard
37:20and threw her to the ground.
37:22Touch her again
37:22and I will show no mercy
37:24no matter who you are.
37:25You think she will ever love you?
37:27She slept with Ronan
37:28for three years.
37:29She begged him like a dog
37:30to mark her more times
37:31than I can count.
37:32Once I take you back,
37:33she will run straight to Ronan.
37:34Only I love you the most.
37:36Only me!
37:36Ronan asked you to come,
37:38right?
37:39Take her away.
37:40Find out what else
37:41Ronan ordered her to do.
37:43The guards dragged
37:44a screaming Claire out.
37:46It's just me and Damon here.
37:48You need not take anything
37:49she read to heart.
37:50Which part?
37:52The part where you said
37:53you liked me?
37:54Damon.
37:56I stood up on my tiptoes
37:57and kissed his lips.
37:58He froze for an instant.
38:00Then his broad hand
38:01closed around my nape
38:02and he deepened the kiss
38:03with fierce urgency.
38:06Before long,
38:07the guard returned to report.
38:09After Damon heard this,
38:10he sneered.
38:12I knew it was him.
38:13It seems that he still
38:15didn't take my warning to heart.
38:17Tell Ronan
38:18to enjoy his position as Alpha.
38:20While he can,
38:22he will not hold it much longer.
38:24Damon,
38:25what do you want to do?
38:26An Alpha challenge.
38:28But your body
38:29is not healed yet.
38:30If I cannot even
38:31protect my mate,
38:32what use is strength?
38:34But,
38:35before I finished speaking,
38:36Damon lowered his head
38:37and kissed me hard.
38:38His palms clapped
38:39the back of my neck
38:40and pushed me hard
38:41into his arms.
38:42The kiss was wild
38:43and ferocious.
38:44His hot palms
38:45went up my waist
38:46and stroked my back,
38:47causing me to shiver
38:48all over.
38:49He picked me up
38:50and strode to the bed
38:51and I hugged his neck tightly.
38:53He clasped my hands
38:53above my head,
38:54breathing against
38:55the side of my neck.
38:56Alara,
38:57it's not too late
38:58to regret it now.
38:59I won't regret it.
39:00He lowered his head
39:01and sank his teeth
39:02into the side of my neck.
39:03I couldn't help
39:04but hold on to his shoulders.
39:06At the same time,
39:07his Alpha power
39:08surged into my body.
39:10The wound on my neck
39:11began to burn.
39:12His mark was now
39:13permanently etched
39:14into my skin.
39:15In the next instant,
39:17an even stronger mate bond
39:18thundered into existence
39:20between us.
39:21He tightened his grip
39:22around my waist
39:23and held me tighter.
39:25Now,
39:26you are truly my mate.
39:29for the rest of your life.
39:31When I woke up
39:32the next day,
39:33I felt a strange
39:34and powerful force.
39:35Damon was sitting
39:36on the edge of the bed,
39:37looking down at his hands.
39:39What's wrong?
39:40He did not answer at once.
39:42Then Damon's powerful
39:43Alpha aura erupted
39:44without warning.
39:45My breath caught.
39:46Instinctively,
39:47I felt the crushing pressure
39:48of a higher-ranking wolf.
39:49Even Damon looked stunned.
39:51My wolf is back.
39:52What do you mean?
39:53The wolf's bane
39:54did not kill me,
39:55but it wounded my wolf.
39:56My body has slowly
39:57recovered over the years,
39:58yet my wolf remained weak.
40:00For a long time,
40:01I could barely sense him at all.
40:03But when our mate bond
40:05was completed last night,
40:06I felt him clearly
40:07for the first time.
40:08Oh, awake
40:09and stronger than ever.
40:11It seems Ronan
40:12chose a very bad day for this.
40:13After the news spread
40:14the day before,
40:15the entire pack
40:16erupted with excitement.
40:17No true Alpha challenge
40:18had been held in years.
40:20More importantly,
40:21the fighters entering the arena
40:22were the current Alpha
40:23and the former heir
40:24everyone believed
40:25had been crippled years ago.
40:26I stood beside
40:27the great elder,
40:28my palms all sweaty.
40:30Damon had completed
40:31his shift.
40:32The huge black wolf
40:33stood in the center
40:34of the field,
40:34its fangs exposed,
40:35its front paws
40:36scratching the ground,
40:37and suppressed wolf roars
40:39were heard from all around.
40:40He stared at Damon
40:41with undisguised malice.
40:43So you actually
40:44dared to come?
40:46Have you not always
40:47believed that once I fell ill
40:48I would never stand again?
40:50You'd better not forget
40:51that you can't even
40:51do a full shift.
40:53Then watch closely.
40:54The moment he finished speaking,
40:56his body completed the shift.
40:58A larger silver-gray
40:59giant wolf
41:00landed heavily.
41:01His wolf has recovered!
41:04Ronan's expression changed.
41:05With an enraged roar,
41:06he attacked first.
41:07The two enormous wolves
41:08slammed into each other.
41:10Ronan bit Damon's throat,
41:11but Damon sidestepped
41:12and tore his shoulder
41:13directly with his sharp claws.
41:14Ronan stumbled back,
41:16the shock in his eyes
41:16quickly turning into rage.
41:18He pounced again.
41:19In speed, strength,
41:20and reflexes alike,
41:21Damon steadily overwhelmed him.
41:23Ronan grew in creepingly desperate.
41:25Finally,
41:25as Ronan lunged again,
41:27Damon seized the opening
41:28and slammed into his chest.
41:29The impact sent Ronan flying.
41:31He crashed heavily to the ground.
41:32Before he could get up,
41:34Damon had already pounced on him,
41:35pressing one of his front paws
41:37firmly against his throat.
41:38Ronan struggled desperately,
41:40but couldn't get away at all.
41:41The entire arena fell silent
41:43except for Ronan's ragged breathing.
41:45A moment later,
41:46both men shifted back
41:47into human form.
41:48Ronan on the ground,
41:49chest heaving.
41:50He looked up at Damon,
41:51who was holding him tightly.
41:53The shock in his eyes
41:54had surpassed the anger.
41:55You were poisoned with wolfsbane.
41:58You should have been crippled long ago.
42:00You remember that remarkably well.
42:02Indeed,
42:03no one in this world
42:03knows better than you
42:04what poison entered my body that day.
42:07Damon,
42:08what do you mean?
42:09Back then,
42:09my father took us
42:10to patrol the northern border,
42:12and we were ambushed
42:13in the canyon on the way back.
42:14Everyone thought it was just
42:15a hostile pack
42:16getting the news in advance.
42:18What's the point of saying this now?
42:19Why so nervous?
42:21You leaked the location of the ambush,
42:22and you were the one
42:23who contacted the attackers in advance.
42:25As for that blade,
42:27you had someone coat it with wolfsbane.
42:31Ronan!
42:32Shut up!
42:32What evidence do you have?
42:34Do you know why
42:35I haven't touched you all these years?
42:37Because before my father died,
42:38he only suspected you
42:39and had no evidence.
42:41I have also always wanted to know
42:43whether you did what happened back then.
42:44I may have been ill all these years,
42:46but did you truly think
42:48I had done nothing?
42:49Yes!
42:49So what if I did
42:50what happened back then?
42:52Growing up,
42:53when did father ever truly see me?
42:55You were always the best.
42:57You were the strongest wolf,
42:58the rightful heir,
42:59and in the end,
43:00he even left the Black Guard to you.
43:02What about me?
43:03I'm his son too.
43:05Why should I always stand behind you?
43:07So you just want to kill your brother?
43:09As long as you lived,
43:11the Alpha title would never be mine.
43:13Do you still remember
43:14how that knife penetrated my body?
43:17When the attacker charged,
43:19I thought he meant to kill you.
43:20So I stepped in front of you.
43:22I survived.
43:23You took the Alpha title
43:25and most of the power father left behind.
43:27You even took Claire
43:28because you believed I wanted her.
43:29I never fought you for any of it.
43:32Until you
43:34set your sights on my Alara.
43:36You do not love Alara.
43:39You simply cannot accept
43:40that someone you controlled
43:42has truly left you.
43:43You never wanted to be a good Alpha.
43:46You only wanted to defeat me.
43:48My father judged you correctly.
43:50Stop!
43:50The Alpha challenge is over.
43:52Ronan lost.
43:53He himself has admitted
43:54that he murdered the heir back then.
43:56Under PAC law,
43:58Ronan is stripped of all right
44:00to the Alpha title
44:01from this moment forward.
44:03The Shaman stepped forward
44:04from the side of the raised platform.
44:06What are you going to do?
44:10The Shaman did not answer.
44:12He brought his staff down hard
44:13against the ground.
44:14A low chanting sound followed.
44:16The golden Alpha sigil
44:18beneath Ronan's feet
44:19slowly flared to life
44:20then shattered in the next instant.
44:23Roland's body jerked violently
44:24as though something
44:26were being torn from inside him.
44:28Ronan's Alpha aura
44:29rapidly dissipated.
44:30His once powerful body
44:31seemed to lose all support
44:32from his complexion turned Ashton.
44:34No, stop!
44:34I am Alpha!
44:35This pack is mine!
44:36The pack has never belonged
44:38to its Alpha.
44:39The Alpha belongs to the pack.
44:40The last mark went out.
44:42Ronan spit out a mouthful of blood
44:44and fell heavily to the ground.
44:46The Alpha bond is severed.
44:47From this moment on,
44:49you are only Ronan.
44:50You just lost something
44:51that was never meant to be yours.
44:53Ronan has been deposed.
44:55The pack cannot remain
44:57without an Alpha.
45:00You were the former Alpha's chosen heir
45:02and you defeated Ronan
45:03in the Alpha challenge.
45:06Please take your place as Alpha.
45:08I accept.
45:10Voices sounded from all directions.
45:12Two guards entered the arena
45:13carrying the crown
45:14that symbolized the Alpha's authority.
45:17The Beneros lowered his head slightly.
45:18The placed crown on his head
45:20with his own hands.
45:21But Naz did not remain there
45:22to receive the packs of mine.
45:24He walked through the crowd
45:25and walked directly towards him.
45:27Before everyone,
45:27he removed the crown
45:28from his own head
45:29and placed it on Mara.
45:32when he held out his crown to me.
45:38Come, my Luna.
45:41When I heard this title,
45:43I was in a daze.
45:45A few months ago,
45:46I was an Omega slave
45:47who couldn't even keep my own freedom.
45:50But now,
45:51the entire pack is bowing to me.
45:54Damon squeezed my hand.
45:56Damon was still kneeling not far away.
45:59Elara,
46:00if I had marked you then,
46:02if I had promised you back then,
46:03would you not have married him
46:06at all?
46:10Ronan,
46:11do you still think
46:12that the problem is just
46:13that you didn't mark me
46:14in the first place?
46:16What I truly wanted
46:18was never merely a mark.
46:19I wanted someone to see me
46:21as an equal soul,
46:22but you never did.
46:24Strip him of every rank
46:25and privilege in the pack.
46:27Drive him out.
46:28Before the day is over.
46:30No!
46:31From this day forward,
46:33you are a rogue.
46:35Damon took my hand
46:36and led me away.
46:38Ronan's uncontrollable roar
46:39came from behind,
46:40but I didn't look back.
46:42Once we had left the arena,
46:44I suddenly stopped.
46:45What's wrong?
46:47Where are we going?
46:49Home, my Luna.
