00:00:06On our wedding day, my chosen mate Cole left and took my illegitimate sister Alara from her wedding
00:00:11because he didn't want her to marry the pack's infamous playboy, Alpha King Ronan.
00:00:15They became mates that same night.
00:00:18Cole lost control and fucked her 99 times straight.
00:00:22Alira's moans and screams ringing out through the pack.
00:00:24The whole pack was waiting to watch me and Ronan become a joke.
00:00:28A general's daughter and an Alpha King both rejected on the same night.
00:00:32But the next day, Ronan came to my door, dragging chests of gold and jewels behind him.
00:00:37A debt is a debt.
00:00:39Cole stole my bride, so he owes me his.
00:00:42I want you as my mate.
00:00:44That's fair, isn't it?
00:00:46I'll marry you.
00:00:47He clearly hadn't expected me to agree to something so absurd.
00:00:53That's what you said.
00:00:54I'll come for you in three days.
00:00:56Don't you dare change your mind.
00:01:03He wasn't nearly as reckless as the rumors claimed.
00:01:05If anything, he was a little endearing.
00:01:08Not long after Ronan left, I went back to Cole's home to pack my things and move out.
00:01:14Halfway through, Cole came back.
00:01:16He was holding Alara, and this time she didn't bother hiding it.
00:01:20She lifted her dress to show off her six-month pregnant belly.
00:01:25So they'd been sneaking around behind my back for at least six months.
00:01:29Disgusting.
00:01:31Cole, you're standing here with your six-month pregnant mate.
00:01:35What could you possibly want now?
00:01:37Nova, I didn't want it to be this way.
00:01:39But Alara is gentle, and she's my fated mate.
00:01:42She's carrying my child.
00:01:43I couldn't just watch her get thrown to that reckless playboy of an alpha king.
00:01:50I'm a strong alpha.
00:01:52How could I let my fainted mate suffer a marriage like that?
00:01:55And yet he could watch me, and the entire Draven family become the pack's laughingstock without blinking.
00:02:00The moment he stormed that ceremony, whatever we had was already over.
00:02:04Then that settles it.
00:02:05Our wedding is off.
00:02:09Nova, don't be like this.
00:02:11Even if I marry her, it won't change anything between us.
00:02:13I've already decided.
00:02:14You'll marry me too.
00:02:16You'll be my Luna as well.
00:02:17Two Lunas?
00:02:18Since when has our pack ever allowed that?
00:02:22You swore to the Moon Goddessy.
00:02:24You said you would be loyal to me.
00:02:26And only me.
00:02:27I did.
00:02:28I chose you as my mate because I needed someone fit to be my Luna.
00:02:32You were never more than my chosen mate, Nova.
00:02:35But when I met Alara, I realized she's my fated mate.
00:02:39Nothing in this world compares to her.
00:02:41I looked at Alara, who was still stroking her belly, making sure everyone saw it.
00:02:46You knew he already had a mate.
00:02:49So why did you run from your own wedding?
00:02:51Why choose to be someone's mistress instead?
00:02:53Alara's eyes welled up instantly.
00:02:58You're so harsh with me.
00:03:00Alpha Cole just didn't want me to suffer.
00:03:02That's all he did.
00:03:03He saved me.
00:03:05Are you...
00:03:05Are you just jealous?
00:03:08Alpha Cole already said you could be his Luna too.
00:03:13An illegitimate daughter really doesn't know how to carry herself in front of others, does she?
00:03:19Alara's face crumbled instantly.
00:03:20She burst into tears, burying herself against Cole's chest.
00:03:26Nova, how could you say something like that to her?
00:03:29Look what you've done, you've made her cry.
00:03:31He held Alara tighter, glaring at me, as if I were the one in the wrong.
00:03:35Alara is so kind-hearted.
00:03:38Once you marry in, she won't make things hard for you.
00:03:41I know it's a step down, but you'll just have to accept being my second Luna for now.
00:03:45You and Alara will both be my Lunas.
00:03:47As long as you fulfill your duties, I won't play favorites.
00:03:51Oh, and what exactly are these duties?
00:03:55You'll raise our children, and you'll still manage the pack's daily affairs.
00:03:59Your standing in the pack won't be affected at all.
00:04:01So you want two Lunas?
00:04:02One to sleep beside you, and one to obediently raise your children and handle your chores?
00:04:07A general's daughter, reduced to a second Luna.
00:04:10I almost admired him for having the nerve to say it out loud.
00:04:15I'd advise you to cherish what's already been arranged for you.
00:04:18This is already the best outcome you're going to get.
00:04:20Cole stepped forward, his tone softening, as if he were doing me a favor.
00:04:25Nova, Alara has already sacrificed so much.
00:04:28Just agree to be Lunar alongside her.
00:04:33She doesn't need to sacrifice anything at all, because I will never agree.
00:04:38We're done.
00:04:40What?
00:04:41What did you just say?
00:04:42The pack members were already whispering among themselves.
00:04:45Is she out of her mind?
00:04:46She actually wants to leave Alpha Cole?
00:04:48If she leaves the pack, she won't survive a week out there.
00:04:54You're really making this difficult for me, Nova.
00:04:57I almost laughed.
00:04:58Who exactly stormed a wedding ceremony and claimed another woman as his mate the night before ours?
00:05:03Who turned me into the pack's laughing stock?
00:05:06And now he had the nerve to say I was the one making things difficult.
00:05:11I told you, I will never be your second Luna.
00:05:14He raised his hand and struck me hard across the face.
00:05:17Nova, you're being completely unreasonable.
00:05:20Everyone knows you've clung to me since childhood.
00:05:22I've had my fill of you for years.
00:05:24Do you really think anyone else would want you now?
00:05:27Get out of my house!
00:05:30Good.
00:05:31Let her go.
00:05:32Don't let her take a single thing with her.
00:05:34So you want me dead?
00:05:35And you want to take everything I own?
00:05:37My whole body was shaking with fury.
00:05:39Behind me, Cole's pack members roared in unison.
00:05:41Reject that bitch!
00:05:44Rotten vegetables and eggs flew through the air, striking my back, my shoulders, the ground at my feet.
00:05:49I knew, in that moment, that the Cole who once looked at me like I was the center of his
00:05:53world, the one who couldn't bear to see me suffer even the smallest slight, was already dead.
00:05:58What stood in front of me now was nothing more than Alara's mate.
00:06:01But it doesn't matter.
00:06:02Luckily, I already have a new, much better mate who could crush them in seconds.
00:06:06And soon, we would be married.
00:06:08Ronan didn't give me any time to change my mind.
00:06:11The very next day, the Draven family came to formally propose, carrying 108 chests of betrothal gifts, filling my room
00:06:19to the brim.
00:06:20I was just about to have the servants move everything into storage when Cole walked in, Alara trailing behind him.
00:06:28Seeing the chests piled everywhere, the two of them clearly jumped to their own conclusion.
00:06:33Sister, is this all your dowry?
00:06:35I knew it, you're marrying Alpha Cole after all, and you're even throwing in all of this on top of
00:06:40it.
00:06:41See, and you kept saying you weren't.
00:06:43Oh, Nova, you really are in love with me.
00:06:45I frowned, denying it immediately.
00:06:47Not what you think!
00:06:48Stop pretending.
00:06:49Yesterday, you said you weren't marrying me, and now you've already got your dowry ready.
00:06:54That's right, Nova.
00:06:55Once you marry in, we'll all be one family.
00:06:59Alpha Cole, didn't you also prepare a gift for Nova?
00:07:02Hurry, give it to me.
00:07:03As she reached for him, something caught the light and flickered past my eyes.
00:07:07A necklace, resting against her collarbone.
00:07:09The Cole family kept an heirloom necklace, passed down for generations, always meant for the family's future Luna.
00:07:15I had hinted at it, asked about it, more times than I could count over the years.
00:07:19He always found some excuse to avoid the subject, never once willing to give it to me.
00:07:23Cole scowled and dug something out from inside his coat.
00:07:26A worn, cracked leather bracelet and tossed it at me.
00:07:31Here, this is for you.
00:07:33Alara wore it until it fell apart, but you can still use it.
00:07:37What goes around comes around, doesn't it, sister?
00:07:40You used to look down on me.
00:07:42Now, all you get to have is what I've already worn out.
00:07:45The moment brought me back to the first time we ever met at a family banquet.
00:07:49Because she was nothing more than an legitimate daughter.
00:07:52My family, even the servants, treated her like a maid.
00:07:55When she accidentally spilled wine on someone, she was struck across the face without a second thought.
00:08:00Cole couldn't stand watching it happen, and stepped in to help her.
00:08:03After that, afraid she'd be mistreated again, he started looking out for her.
00:08:07Always saving the best food, the best gifts, for her first.
00:08:10I just feel bad for her, that's all. I only want to help her.
00:08:13At first, I believed him. I thought it really was just pity.
00:08:16Not until the day Alara was forced to marry Ronan, and Cole stormed the ceremony to steal her away.
00:08:21That was when I finally understood.
00:08:23Somewhere along the way, without my ever noticing, Alara had already carved out a place in his heart.
00:08:30So generous with Alaya, so stingy with me.
00:08:34No need.
00:08:35Something this precious should stay with your Alaya.
00:08:39Cole's face darkened instantly.
00:08:42Humiliated, he snatched the bracelet out of my hand and hurled it out the window.
00:08:48Fine. If you don't want it, then it's trash.
00:08:51And don't you dare think you're taking a single thing from me when you get married.
00:08:54I told you. Our wedding has already been called off.
00:08:57Say that again?
00:09:03Huh. Leave Alpha Cole, and nobody's ever going to want you.
00:09:06You'll come crawling back, begging him not to let you go.
00:09:10I didn't even bother explaining anymore.
00:09:13If the two of you have nothing else, please leave.
00:09:16But clearly, neither of them took my words seriously.
00:09:20Nova, don't say things like that out of anger.
00:09:23I know you're upset with me.
00:09:25If it makes you feel better, why don't you hit me a couple times?
00:09:30Get off. Don't touch me.
00:09:32The moment my hand left her arm, Alara let herself go loom, collapsing softly into Cole's chest as if struck.
00:09:37Cole's eyes flared red.
00:09:38Do not touch her. She is carrying my child.
00:09:41His fingers began to shift, claws tearing through skin, dark and sharp.
00:09:45He struck.
00:09:47In all the years Cole and I had known each other, grown up together, he had never once shifted his
00:09:52claws against me.
00:09:53Not once.
00:09:54And the first time he finally did, it was for another woman.
00:09:58For a moment, Cole hesitated.
00:10:00He looked down at the blood running down my arm.
00:10:03But Alara saw her chance.
00:10:07She let out a sharp, sudden cry, clutching her belly, and begged him to take her away immediately.
00:10:13After a moment of hesitation, Cole scooped her up into his arms and walked out without looking back.
00:10:20Alara glanced back over his shoulder.
00:10:25Die alone? Funny.
00:10:27I was getting married in three days.
00:10:30The day before my wedding fell on the moon festival, the one day a year I had always loved the
00:10:35most.
00:10:36Every year before this one, Cole had always come with me to buy crystal lanterns.
00:10:40This year, for the first time, I went alone.
00:10:42When I stepped into Silvermoon City, the entire street stood empty.
00:10:46Every vendor had been pushed aside, their tolves cleared to the edges of the road.
00:10:50Confused, I slowed my steps and caught the voices of two young women nearby.
00:10:54I heard Alpha Cole bought out every single crystal lantern on this street just to make his mate happy.
00:10:59That's not even half of it. He went against the entire Elder Council for her.
00:11:02Exactly. He even angered the young lord and forced his own Nova into being a concuboon, just for her.
00:11:07I'd howl at the moon alone for a year for someone that devoted.
00:11:10I turned to leave, having no reason to stay any longer.
00:11:13Nova?
00:11:14I turned instinctively, and there they were.
00:11:17Cole and Alara, standing not far away.
00:11:22Nova, are you here to buy crystal lanterns too?
00:11:27How's your shoulder?
00:11:28I pushed his hand away, without a shred of warmth in my voice.
00:11:31It's fine.
00:11:33Alara held the lantern out towards me.
00:11:34I'm sorry, Nova.
00:11:36Alpha Cole bought out every lantern on this street.
00:11:38Here, why don't you take this one?
00:11:40No, thank you.
00:11:42I stepped back.
00:11:43I never made a habit of using anything someone else had already touched.
00:11:46Not objects.
00:11:47Not people.
00:11:48But Alara wouldn't let it go.
00:11:50She kept crowding closer, refusing to back off.
00:11:53I only meant to push her away, barely any force behind it at all.
00:11:56But Alara clutched at her dress and threw herself backward, dramatically, collapsing onto the ground.
00:12:01Cole!
00:12:02Nova's trying to kill our baby!
00:12:04Cole's face twisted with fury the instant he saw her on the ground.
00:12:08He shoved me, hard, without a second of hesitation.
00:12:11How dare you do this!
00:12:13Kneel down and apologize to her, right now!
00:12:15It happened too fast.
00:12:17I had no chance to brace myself before I hit the ground, forced down onto my knees.
00:12:23And then, a voice, low, deep, carrying and pressed down on the entire street, cut through the air behind me.
00:12:30Who dares touch my mate?
00:12:32I turned around.
00:12:33A massive black wolf shadow hung suspended in the air above the street.
00:12:36Its presence so overwhelming, it seemed to swallow the light around it whole.
00:12:42That's the Alpha King's Nightfall, Wolf.
00:12:44Why is it here?
00:12:45The black shadow slowly faded, dissolving into the night air until it was gone completely.
00:12:49Cole and Alara stood there for a moment, trying to comfort each other.
00:12:54You don't think he's come back for you, do you?
00:12:56Alara's face drained of color instantly, panic flooding her eyes.
00:13:00Confidence they'd carried a moment Begore was gone.
00:13:02The two of them slipped away quickly.
00:13:05I kept walking alone, the mood of the night thoroughly ruined.
00:13:08Without warning, a hand grabbed me and pulled me into a narrow alley.
00:13:11I tensed instantly, already bracing to fight back.
00:13:13I looked up.
00:13:14It was Ronan.
00:13:14I followed you the whole way.
00:13:16Watching you get pushed around like that, it put me in a foul mood.
00:13:20And why did you follow me?
00:13:23I- I'm marrying you tomorrow.
00:13:24I was too excited to sleep at all.
00:13:27I'm nothing but a rejected Luna, you know.
00:13:29A general's daughter who's never even had a wolf of her own, let alone a fated mate.
00:13:33Just don't come to regret this.
00:13:36I won't.
00:13:37He pulled me closer, gently drawing me toward the curve of his neck.
00:13:41As I leaned in, close enough to feel the warmth of his skin, something strange stirred inside me.
00:13:46A scent, faint, unfamiliar, and yet impossibly familiar all at once, wrapped around me.
00:13:53Why- why was his scent pulling at me like this?
00:13:55Why couldn't I resist it?
00:13:57I pulled back sharply, staring at him, my heart pounding for reasons I couldn't explain.
00:14:02Are you my-
00:14:04Ronan seemed thrown off by the way I was staring at him.
00:14:08I'll see you tomorrow, my Luna.
00:14:11The next morning, the maids woked me early, dressing me, styling my hair, wrapping me in my wedding gown.
00:14:17That was when it finally felt real.
00:14:19I was really getting married.
00:14:21Only this time, the groom waiting for me wasn't Cole, the childhood companion I had spent years hoping for.
00:14:26It was Alpha King Ronan.
00:14:28When the wedding procession finally arrived, I froze.
00:14:31Leading it was Cole.
00:14:32He saw me standing there, in my full wedding attire, and his expression twisted instantly.
00:14:39How dare you dress more beautiful than Alara did on her wedding day.
00:14:43You're nothing but a chosen mate.
00:14:44I'm here today to take my second Luna.
00:14:46Go change.
00:14:48Right now.
00:14:48I didn't back down for a second.
00:14:50I've told you this more than once.
00:14:52Our wedding is off.
00:14:53The man I'm marrying today isn't you.
00:14:57Don't throw a fight over this.
00:14:58Isn't it just because I made a lemur a Luna too?
00:15:01You're both my Lunas.
00:15:02I'll treat you equally.
00:15:03Come with me, okay?
00:15:08Ronan rode in at the head of the procession, an endless line of carriages trailing behind him,
00:15:13each one loaded with gold, jewels, treasures beyond counting.
00:15:16His gaze landed on Cole, and on the pitiful procession behind him, fewer than twenty people in total.
00:15:23Well, well, Alpha Cole, trying to steal my wife again?
00:15:51Yeah.
00:16:21.
00:16:51.

00:25:54.
00:25:55.
00:25:55.
00:26:01.
00:26:01On our wedding day, my chosen mate Cole left, and took my illegitimate sister Alara from
00:26:06her wedding, because he didn't want her to marry the pack's infamous playboy, Alpha
00:26:10King Ronan.
00:26:11They became mates that same night.
00:26:13Cole lost control, and fucked her 99 times straight.
00:26:17Alira's moans and screams ringing out through the pack.
00:26:20The whole pack was waiting, to watch me and Ronan become a joke.
00:26:23A general's daughter and an Alpha King, both rejected on the same night.
00:26:27But the next day, Ronan came to my door, dragging chests of gold and jewels behind
00:26:31him.
00:26:33A debt is a debt.
00:26:35Cole stole my bride, so he owes me his.
00:26:37I want you as my mate.
00:26:39That's fair, isn't it?
00:26:41I'll marry you.
00:26:42He clearly hadn't expected me to agree to something so absurd.
00:26:47You...
00:26:48That's what you said.
00:26:50I'll come for you in three days.
00:26:51Don't you dare change your mind.
00:26:58He wasn't nearly as reckless as the rumors claimed.
00:27:01If anything, he was a little endearing.
00:27:03Not long after Ronan left, I went back to Cole's home, to pack my things and move out.
00:27:09Halfway through, Cole came back.
00:27:11He was holding Alara, and this time, she didn't bother hiding it.
00:27:15She lifted her dress to show off her six-month pregnant belly.
00:27:20So they'd been sneaking around behind my back for at least six months.
00:27:24Disgusting.
00:27:26Cole, you're standing here, with your six-month pregnant mate.
00:27:30What could you possibly want now?
00:27:32Nova, I didn't want it to be this way, but Alara is gentle, and she's my fated mate.
00:27:37She's carrying my child.
00:27:39I couldn't just watch her get thrown to that reckless playboy of an alpha king.
00:27:46I'm a strong alpha.
00:27:47How could I let my fainted mate suffer a marriage like that?
00:27:50And yet he could watch me, and the entire Draven family become the pack's laughing stock
00:27:54without blinking.
00:27:55The moment he stormed that ceremony, whatever we had was already over.
00:27:59Then that settles it.
00:28:00Our wedding is off.
00:28:04Nova, don't be like this.
00:28:06Even if I marry her, it won't change anything between us.
00:28:08I've already decided, you'll marry me too.
00:28:11You'll be my Luna as well.
00:28:12Two Lunas?
00:28:14Since when has our pack ever allowed that?
00:28:17You swore to the moon goddessy.
00:28:19You said you would be loyal to me, and only me.
00:28:23I did.
00:28:24I chose you as my mate because I needed someone fit to be my Luna.
00:28:27You were never more than my chosen mate, Nova.
00:28:29But when I met Alara, I realized she's my fated mate.
00:28:34Nothing in this world compares to her.
00:28:36I looked at Alara, who was still stroking her belly, making sure everyone saw it.
00:28:42You knew he already had a mate.
00:28:44So why did you run from your own wedding?
00:28:46Why choose to be someone's mistress instead?
00:28:48Alara's eyes welled up instantly.
00:28:53You're so harsh with me.
00:28:55Alpha Cole just didn't want me to suffer.
00:28:57That's all he did.
00:28:59He saved me.
00:29:00Are you...
00:29:01Are you just jealous?
00:29:03Alpha Cole already said you could be his Luna too.
00:29:08An illegitimate daughter really doesn't know how to carry herself in front of others,
00:29:13does she?
00:29:14Alara's face crumbled instantly.
00:29:15She burst into tears, burying herself against Cole's chest.
00:29:22Nova, how could you say something like that to her?
00:29:24Look what you've done, you've made her cry.
00:29:26He held Alara tighter, glaring at me, as if I were the one in the wrong.
00:29:30Alara is so kind-hearted.
00:29:34Once you marry in, she won't make things hard for you.
00:29:36I know it's a step down, but you'll just have to accept being my second Luna for now.
00:29:40You and Alara will both be my Lunas.
00:29:43As long as you fulfill your duties, I won't play favorites.
00:29:47Oh, and what exactly are these duties?
00:29:50You'll raise our children, and you'll still manage the pack's daily affairs.
00:29:54Your standing in the pack won't be affected at all.
00:29:56So you want two Lunas?
00:29:58One to sleep beside you?
00:29:59And one to obediently raise your children and handle your chores?
00:30:02A general's daughter, reduced to a second Luna.
00:30:05I almost admired him for having the nerve to say it out loud.
00:30:11I'd advise you to cherish what's already been arranged for you.
00:30:13This is already the best outcome you're going to get.
00:30:16Cole stepped forward, his tone softening, as if he were doing me a favor.
00:30:20Nova, Alara has already sacrificed so much.
00:30:24Just agree to be Lunar alongside her.
00:30:28Nova.
00:30:29She doesn't need to sacrifice anything at all, because I will never agree.
00:30:33We're done.
00:30:35What...
00:30:36What did you just say?
00:30:37The pack members were already whispering among themselves.
00:30:40Is she out of her mind?
00:30:41She actually wants to leave Alpha Cole?
00:30:44If she leaves the pack, she won't survive a week out there.
00:30:49You're really making this difficult for me, Nova.
00:30:52Nova.
00:30:53I almost laughed.
00:30:54Who exactly stormed a wedding ceremony and claimed another woman as his mate the night
00:30:57before ours?
00:30:58Who turned me into the pack's laughing stock?
00:31:01And now he had the nerve to say I was the one making things difficult.
00:31:06I told you, I will never be your second Luna.
00:31:09He raised his hand and struck me hard across the face.
00:31:12Nova, you're being completely unreasonable.
00:31:15Everyone knows you've clung to me since childhood.
00:31:18I've had my fill of you for years.
00:31:19Do you really think anyone else would want you now?
00:31:22Get out of my house!
00:31:25Good.
00:31:26Let her go.
00:31:27Don't let her take a single thing with her.
00:31:29So you want me dead?
00:31:30And you want to take everything I own?
00:31:32My whole body was shaking with fury.
00:31:34Behind me, Cole's pack members roared in unison.
00:31:37Reject that bitch!
00:31:39Rotten vegetables and eggs flew through the air, striking my back, my shoulders, the ground
00:31:44at my feet.
00:31:44I knew in that moment that the Cole who once looked at me like I was the center of his
00:31:49world,
00:31:49the one who couldn't bear to see me suffer even the smallest slight, was already dead.
00:31:53What stood in front of me now was nothing more than Alara's mate.
00:31:56But it doesn't matter.
00:31:57Luckily, I already have a new, much better mate who could crush them in seconds.
00:32:01And soon, we would be married.
00:32:03Ronan didn't give me any time to change my mind.
00:32:06The very next day, the Draven family came to formally propose, carrying 108 chests of
00:32:12betrothal gifts, filling my room to the brim.
00:32:15I was just about to have the servants move everything into storage, when Cole walked in,
00:32:20Alara trailing behind him.
00:32:23Seeing the chests piled everywhere, the two of them clearly jumped to their own conclusion.
00:32:28Sister, is this all your dowry?
00:32:31I knew it, you're marrying Alpha Cole after all, and you're even throwing in all of this
00:32:35on top of it.
00:32:36See, and you kept saying you weren't.
00:32:38Oh Nova, you really are in love with me.
00:32:40I frowned, denying it immediately.
00:32:42Not what you think!
00:32:43Stop pretending.
00:32:45Yesterday, you said you weren't marrying me, and now you've already got your dowry ready.
00:32:49That's right, Nova.
00:32:50Once you marry in, we'll all be one family.
00:32:54Alpha Cole, didn't you also prepare a gift for Nova?
00:32:57Hurry, give it to me.
00:32:58As she reached for him, something caught the light and flickered past my eyes.
00:33:02A necklace, resting against her collarbone.
00:33:04The Cole family kept an heirloom necklace, passed down for generations, always meant for
00:33:09the family's future Luna.
00:33:10I had hinted at it, asked about it, more times than I could count over the years.
00:33:14He always found some excuse to avoid the subject, never once willing to give it to me.
00:33:18Cole scowled and dug something out from inside his coat.
00:33:21A worn, cracked leather bracelet and tossed it at me.
00:33:27Here, this is for you.
00:33:28Alara wore it until it fell apart, but you can still use it.
00:33:32What goes around comes around, doesn't it, sister?
00:33:35You used to look down on me.
00:33:37Now, all you get to have is what I've already worn out.
00:33:40The moment brought me back to the first time we ever met, at a family banquet.
00:33:44Because she was nothing more than an legitimate daughter.
00:33:47My family, even the servants, treated her like a maid.
00:33:50When she accidentally spilled wine on someone, she was struck across the face without a second thought.
00:33:55Cole couldn't stand watching it happen, and stepped in to help her.
00:33:59After that, afraid she'd be mistreated again, he started looking out for her.
00:34:02Always saving the best food, the best gifts, for her first.
00:34:06I just feel bad for her, that's all. I only want to help her.
00:34:08At first, I believed him. I thought it really was just pity.
00:34:11Not until the day Alara was forced to marry Ronan, and Cole stormed the ceremony to steal her away.
00:34:17That was when I finally understood.
00:34:18Somewhere along the way, without my ever noticing, Alara had already carved out a place in his heart.
00:34:25So generous with Alaya, so stingy with me.
00:34:29No need. Something this precious should stay with your Alaya.
00:34:34Cole's face darkened instantly.
00:34:37Humiliated, he snatched the bracelet out of my hand and hurled it out the window.
00:34:43Fine. If you don't want it, then it's trash.
00:34:46And don't you dare think you're taking a single thing from me when you get married.
00:34:49I told you. Our wedding has already been called off.
00:34:52Say that again?
00:34:57Huh. Leave Alpha Cole, and nobody's ever going to want you.
00:35:02You'll come crawling back, begging him not to let you go.
00:35:06I didn't even bother explaining anymore.
00:35:08If the two of you have nothing else, please leave.
00:35:11But clearly, neither of them took my words seriously.
00:35:16Nova, don't say things like that out of anger.
00:35:18I know you're upset with me.
00:35:20If it makes you feel better, why don't you hit me a couple times?
00:35:25Get off. Don't touch me.
00:35:27The moment my hand left her arm, Alara let herself go loom, collapsing softly into Cole's chest as if struck.
00:35:32Cole's eyes flared red.
00:35:33Do not touch her. She is carrying my child.
00:35:36His fingers began to shift, claws tearing through skin, dark and sharp. He struck.
00:35:43In all the years Cole and I had known each other, grown up together, he had never once shifted his
00:35:47claws against me. Not once.
00:35:49And the first time he finally did, it was for another woman.
00:35:53For a moment, Cole hesitated. He looked down at the blood running down my arm.
00:35:58But Alara saw her chance.
00:36:02She let out a sharp, sudden cry, clutching her belly, and begged him to take her away immediately.
00:36:08After a moment of hesitation, Cole scooped her up into his arms and walked out without looking back.
00:36:15Alara glanced back over his shoulder.
00:36:20Die alone? Funny.
00:36:22I was getting married in three days.
00:36:25The day before my wedding fell on the moon festival, the one day a year I had always loved the
00:36:30most.
00:36:31Every year before this one, Cole had always come with me to buy crystal lanterns.
00:36:35This year, for the first time, I went alone.
00:36:38When I stepped into Silvermoon City, the entire street stood empty.
00:36:41Every vendor had been pushed aside, their tolves cleared to the edges of the road.
00:36:45Confused, I slowed my steps and caught the voices of two young women nearby.
00:36:49I heard Alpha Cole bought out every single crystal lantern on this street, just to make his mate happy.
00:36:54That's not even half of it. He went against the entire Elder Council for her.
00:36:58Exactly. He even angered the young lord, and forced his own Nova into being a concuboon, just for her.
00:37:02I'd howl at the moon alone for a year for someone that devoted.
00:37:05I turned to leave, having no reason to stay any longer.
00:37:08Nova?
00:37:09I turned instinctively, and there they were. Cole and Alara, standing not far away.
00:37:17Nova, are you here to buy crystal lanterns too?
00:37:22How's your shoulder?
00:37:23I pushed his hand away, without a shred of warmth in my voice.
00:37:26It's fine.
00:37:28Alara held the lantern out towards me.
00:37:30I'm sorry, Nova. Alpha Cole bought out every lantern on this street.
00:37:34Here, why don't you take this one?
00:37:36No, thank you.
00:37:37I stepped back.
00:37:38I never made a habit of using anything someone else had already touched.
00:37:41Not objects. Not people. But Alara wouldn't let it go.
00:37:45She kept crowding closer, refusing to back off.
00:37:48I only meant to push her away, barely any force behind it at all.
00:37:51But Alara clutched at her dress and threw herself backward, dramatically, collapsing onto the ground.
00:37:57Cole! Nova's trying to kill our baby!
00:38:00Cole's face twisted with fury the instant he saw her on the ground.
00:38:03He shoved me, hard, without a second of hesitation.
00:38:06How dare you do this? Kneel down and apologize to her. Right now!
00:38:10It happened too fast. I had no chance to brace myself before I hit the ground.
00:38:15Force down onto my knees.
00:38:19And then, a voice, low, deep, carrying and pressed down on the entire street, cut through the air behind me.
00:38:25Who dares touch my mate?
00:38:27I turned around. A massive black wolf shadow hung suspended in the air above the street.
00:38:32Its presence so overwhelming it seemed to swallow the light around it whole.
00:38:37That's... that's the Alpha King's Nightfall Wolf. Why... why is it here?
00:38:40The black shadow slowly faded, dissolving into the night air until it was gone completely.
00:38:45Cole and Alara stood there for a moment, trying to comfort each other.
00:38:50You don't think he's come back for you, do you?
00:38:51Alara's face drained of color instantly, panic flooding her eyes.
00:38:55Confidence they'd carried a moment Begor was gone.
00:38:57The two of them slipped away quickly.
00:39:00I kept walking alone, the mood of the night thoroughly ruined.
00:39:03Without warning, a hand grabbed me and pulled me into a narrow alley.
00:39:06I tensed instantly, already bracing to fight back.
00:39:08I looked up. It was Ronan.
00:39:10I followed you the whole way.
00:39:11Watching you get pushed around like that, it put me in a foul mood.
00:39:16And why did you follow me?
00:39:18I... I'm marrying you tomorrow. I was too excited to sleep at all.
00:39:22I'm nothing but a rejected Luna, you know.
00:39:25A general's daughter who's never even had a wolf of her own, let alone a faded mate.
00:39:28Just don't come to regret this.
00:39:31I won't.
00:39:32He pulled me closer, gently drawing me toward the curve of his neck.
00:39:36As I leaned in, close enough to feel the warmth of his skin, something strange stirred inside me.
00:39:41A scent, faint, unfamiliar, and yet impossibly familiar all at once wrapped around me.
00:39:48Why... why was his scent pulling at me like this?
00:39:50Why couldn't I resist it?
00:39:52I pulled back sharply, staring at him, my heart pounding for reasons I couldn't explain.
00:39:57Are you my...
00:39:59Ronan seemed thrown off by the way I was staring at him.
00:40:03I'll see you tomorrow, my Luna.
00:40:06The next morning, the maids woke me early, dressing me, styling my hair, wrapping me in my wedding gown.
00:40:13That was when it finally felt real. I was really getting married.
00:40:16Only this time, the groom waiting for me wasn't Cole, the childhood companion I had spent years hoping for.
00:40:21It was Alpha King Ronan.
00:40:23When the wedding procession finally arrived, I froze.
00:40:26Leading it was Cole. He saw me standing there, in my full wedding attire, and his expression twisted instantly.
00:40:34How dare you dress more beautiful than Alara did on her wedding day!
00:40:37You're nothing but a chosen mate!
00:40:39I'm here today to take my second Luna.
00:40:42Go change. Right now.
00:40:43I didn't back down for a second.
00:40:45I've told you this more than once. Our wedding is off. The man I'm marrying today isn't you.
00:40:52Don't throw a fight over this. Isn't it just because I made a lemur a Luna too?
00:40:56You're both my Lunas. I'll treat you equally. Come with me, okay?
00:41:03Ronan rode in at the head of the procession, an endless line of carriages trailing behind him, each one loaded
00:41:08with gold, jewels, treasures beyond counting.
00:41:11His gaze landed on Cole, and on the pitiful procession behind him, fewer than 20 people in total.
00:41:18Well, well, Alpha Cole. Trying to steal my wife again?
00:41:39you're all right.
00:41:39Go to the end!
00:41:40You're the only one bird.
00:41:41No!
00:41:48No!
00:41:49.

00:51:58.
00:51:58left and took my illegitimate sister Alara from her wedding because he didn't want her to marry
00:52:03the pack's infamous playboy, Alpha King Ronan. They became mates that same night. Cole lost control
00:52:09and fucked her 99 times straight. Alira's moans and screams ringing out through the pack. The
00:52:15whole pack was waiting to watch me and Ronan become a joke. A general's daughter and an Alpha King
00:52:20both rejected on the same night. But the next day, Ronan came to my door, dragging chests of gold and
00:52:26jewels behind him. A debt is a debt. Cole stole my bride, so he owes me his. I want you
00:52:33as my mate.
00:52:34That's fair, isn't it? I'll marry you. He clearly hadn't expected me to agree to something so absurd.
00:52:43That's what you said. I'll come for you in three days. Don't you dare change your mind.
00:52:53He wasn't nearly as reckless as the rumors claimed. If anything, he was a little endearing.
00:52:59Not long after Ronan left, I went back to Cole's home to pack my things and move out.
00:53:05Halfway through, Cole came back. He was holding Alara, and this time she didn't bother hiding it.
00:53:10she lifted her dress to show off her six-month pregnant belly. So they'd been sneaking around
00:53:16behind my back for at least six months. Disgusting. Cole, you're standing here with your six-month
00:53:24pregnant mate. What could you possibly want now? Nova, I didn't want it to be this way,
00:53:29but Alara is gentle, and she's my fated mate. She's carrying my child. I couldn't just watch her
00:53:35get thrown to that reckless playboy of an alpha king. I'm a strong alpha. How could I let my
00:53:43fainted mate suffer a marriage like that? And yet he could watch me and the entire Draven family
00:53:48become the pack's laughingstock without blinking. The moment he stormed that ceremony, whatever we
00:53:53had was already over. Then that settles it. Our wedding is off. Nova, don't be like this. Even if I
00:54:02marry her, it won't change anything between us. I've already decided you'll marry me too. You'll be
00:54:06my Luna as well. Two Lunas? Since when has our pack ever allowed that? You swore to the moon goddessy.
00:54:14You said you would be loyal to me, and only me. I did. I chose you as my mate because
00:54:20I needed someone
00:54:21fit to be my Luna. You were never more than my chosen mate, Nova. But when I met Alara, I
00:54:27realized
00:54:27she's my fated mate. Nothing in this world compares to her. I looked at Alara, who was
00:54:33still stroking her belly, making sure everyone saw it. You knew he already had a mate. So why
00:54:40did you run from your own wedding? Why choose to be someone's mistress instead? Alara's eyes
00:54:44welled up instantly. You're so harsh with me. Alpha Cole just didn't want me to suffer. That's
00:54:53all he did. He saved me. Are you... are you just jealous? Alpha Cole already said you could
00:55:00be his Luna too. An illegitimate daughter really doesn't know how to carry herself in front of
00:55:07others, does she? Alara's face crumbled instantly. She burst into tears, burying herself against
00:55:13Cole's chest. Nova, how could you say something like that to her? Look what you've done. You've
00:55:21made her cry. He held Alara tighter, glaring at me, as if I were the one in the wrong. Alara
00:55:26is so kind-hearted. Once you marry in, she won't make things hard for you. I know it's
00:55:32a step down, but you'll just have to accept being my second Luna for now. You and Alara
00:55:36will both be my Lunas. As long as you fulfill your duties, I won't play favorites. Oh, and
00:55:43what exactly are these duties? You'll raise our children, and you'll still manage the pack's
00:55:48daily affairs. Your standing in the pack won't be affected at all. So you want two Lunas?
00:55:53One to sleep beside you, and one to obediently raise your children and handle your chores?
00:55:58A general's daughter, reduced to a second Luna. I almost admired him for having the nerve to
00:56:02say it out loud. I'd advise you to cherish what's already been arranged for you. This
00:56:09is already the best outcome you're going to get. Cole stepped forward, his tone softening,
00:56:13as if he were doing me a favor. Nova, Alara has already sacrificed so much. Just agree
00:56:20to be Lunar alongside her. She doesn't need to sacrifice anything at all, because I will
00:56:27never agree. We're done. What did you just say? The pack members were already whispering
00:56:34among themselves. Is she out of her mind? She actually wants
00:56:37to leave Alpha Cole. If she leaves the pack, she won't survive a week out there. You're
00:56:45really making this difficult for me, Nova. I almost laughed. Who exactly stormed a wedding
00:56:50ceremony and claimed another woman as his mate the night before ours? Who turned me into
00:56:55the pack's laughing stock? And now he had the nerve to say I was the one making things difficult.
00:57:01I told you, I will never be your second Luna. He raised his hand and struck me hard across
00:57:07the face. Nova, you're being completely unreasonable. Everyone knows you've clung to me since childhood.
00:57:13I've had my fill of you for years. Do you really think anyone else would want you now? Get out
00:57:17of my house! Good. Let her go. Don't let her take a single thing with her. So you want
00:57:25me dead? And you want to take everything I own? My whole body was shaking with fury. Behind me,
00:57:30Cole's pack members roared in unison. Reject that bitch!
00:57:35Rotten vegetables and eggs flew through the air, striking my back, my shoulders, the ground at my
00:57:39feet. I knew, in that moment, that the Cole who once looked at me like I was the center of
00:57:44his world,
00:57:44the one who couldn't bear to see me suffer even the smallest slight, was already dead. What stood in
00:57:49front of me now was nothing more than Alara's mate. But it doesn't matter. Luckily, I already have a new,
00:57:54much better mate who could crush them in seconds. And soon, we would be married. Ronan didn't give me
00:57:59any time to change my mind. The very next day, the Draven family came to formally propose, carrying
00:58:06108 chests of betrothal gifts, filling my room to the brim. I was just about to have the servants move
00:58:12everything into storage, when Cole walked in, Alara trailing behind him. Seeing the chests piled
00:58:20everywhere, the two of them clearly jumped to their own conclusion.
00:58:24Sister, is this all your dowry? I knew it. You're marrying Alpha Cole, after all. And you're even
00:58:29throwing in all of this on top of it.
00:58:31See, and you kept saying you weren't. Oh, Nova, you really are in love with me.
00:58:36I frowned, denying it immediately.
00:58:38Not what you think!
00:58:38Stop pretending. Yesterday, you said you weren't marrying me, and now you've already got your
00:58:43dowry ready.
00:58:44That's right, Nova. Once you marry in, we'll all be one family. Alpha Cole, didn't you also
00:58:51prepare a gift for Nova? Hurry, give it to me.
00:58:53As she reached for him, something caught the light and flickered past my eyes. A necklace,
00:58:58resting against her collarbone. The Cole family kept an heirloom necklace, passed down for generations,
00:59:03always meant for the family's future Luna. I had hinted at it, asked about it, more times
00:59:08than I could count over the years. He always found some excuse to avoid the subject, never
00:59:12once willing to give it to me. Cole scowled and dug something out from inside his coat,
00:59:16a worn, cracked leather bracelet, and tossed it at me.
00:59:21Here, this is for you. Alara wore it until it fell apart, but you can still use it.
00:59:27What goes around comes around, doesn't it, sister? You used to look down on me. Now, all you get
00:59:33to have is what I've already worn out. The moment brought me back to the first time we
00:59:38ever met at a family banquet, because she was nothing more than an legitimate daughter.
00:59:42My family, even the servants, treated her like a maid. When she accidentally spilled wine on
00:59:47someone, she was struck across the face without a second thought. Cole couldn't stand watching
00:59:51it happen, and stepped in to help her. After that, afraid she'd be mistreated again, he started
00:59:57looking out for her, always saving the best food, the best gifts, for her first.
01:00:01I just feel bad for her, that's all. I only want to help her.
01:00:04At first, I believed him. I thought it really was just pity. Not until the day Alara was
01:00:08forced to marry Ronan, and Cole stormed the ceremony to steal her away. That was when I
01:00:13finally understood. Somewhere along the way, without my ever noticing, Alara had already
01:00:17carved out a place in his heart.
01:00:21So generous with Alaya, so stingy with me. No need. Something this precious should stay
01:00:27with your Alaya. Cole's face darkened instantly. Humiliated, he snatched the bracelet out of my
01:00:35hand and hurled it out the window. Fine. If you don't want it, then it's trash. And don't
01:00:42you dare think you're taking a single thing from me when you get married.
01:00:44I told you. Our wedding has already been called off. Say that again?
01:00:52Huh. Leave Alpha Cole, and nobody's ever going to want you. You'll come crawling back, begging
01:00:59him not to let you go. I didn't even bother explaining anymore. If the two of you have
01:01:05nothing else, please leave. But clearly, neither of them took my words seriously.
01:01:11Nova, don't say things like that out of anger. I know you're upset with me. If it makes you
01:01:16feel better, why don't you hit me a couple times?
01:01:20Get off. Don't touch me.
01:01:22The moment my hand left her arm, Alara let herself go loom, collapsing softly into Cole's
01:01:26chest as if struck. Cole's eyes flared red.
01:01:29Do not touch her. She is carrying my child.
01:01:31His fingers began to shift, claws tearing through skin, dark and sharp. He struck.
01:01:38In all the years Cole and I had known each other, grown up together, he had never once
01:01:42shifted his claws against me. Not once. And the first time he finally did, it was for
01:01:47another woman. For a moment, Cole hesitated. He looked down at the blood running down my
01:01:52arm. But Alara saw her chance.
01:01:58She let out a sharp, sudden cry, clutching her belly, and begged him to take her away
01:02:02immediately. After a moment of hesitation, Cole scooped her up into his arms and walked
01:02:09out without looking back. Alara glanced back over his shoulder.
01:02:16Die alone? Funny. I was getting married in three days.
01:02:20The day before my wedding fell on the moon festival, the one day a year I had always loved
01:02:25the most. Every year before this one, Cole had always come with me to buy crystal lanterns.
01:02:30This year, for the first time, I went alone. When I stepped into Silvermoon City, the entire
01:02:35street stood empty. Every vendor had been pushed aside, their tolves cleared to the edges of
01:02:40the road. Confused, I slowed my steps and caught the voices of two young women nearby.
01:02:45I heard Alpha Cole bought out every single crystal lantern on this street just to make his mate
01:02:49happy. That's not even half of it. He went against the entire elder council for her.
01:02:53Exactly. He even angered the young lord and forced his own nova into being a concuboon,
01:02:57just for her. I'd howl at the moon alone for a year for someone that devoted.
01:03:01I turned to leave, having no reason to stay any longer.
01:03:03Nova?
01:03:04I turned instinctively, and there they were. Cole and Alara, standing not far away.
01:03:12Nova, are you here to buy crystal lanterns too?
01:03:17How's your shoulder?
01:03:18I pushed his hand away, without a shred of warmth in my voice.
01:03:21It's fine. Alara held the lantern out towards me.
01:03:25I'm sorry, Nova. Alpha Cole bought out every lantern on this street.
01:03:29Here, why don't you take this one?
01:03:31No, thank you.
01:03:32I stepped back. I never made a habit of using anything someone else had already touched.
01:03:37Not objects. Not people. But Alara wouldn't let it go. She kept crowding closer, refusing to back
01:03:43off. I only meant to push her away, barely any force behind it at all. But Alara clutched at her
01:03:48dress and threw herself backward, dramatically, collapsing onto the ground.
01:03:52Cole! Nova's trying to kill our baby!
01:03:55Cole's face twisted with fury the instant he saw her on the ground. He shoved me, hard,
01:04:00without a second of hesitation.
01:04:01How dare you do this! Kneel down and apologize to her, right now!
01:04:06It happened too fast. I had no chance to brace myself before I hit the ground, forced down onto my
01:04:13knees. And then, a voice, low, deep, carrying and pressed down on the entire street, cut through
01:04:19the air behind me.
01:04:20Who dares touch my mate?
01:04:22I turned around. A massive black wolf shadow hung suspended in the air above the street,
01:04:27its presence so overwhelming it seemed to swallow the light around it whole.
01:04:32That's the Alpha King's Nightfall Wolf. Why is it here?
01:04:35The black shadow slowly faded, dissolving into the night air until it was gone completely.
01:04:39Cole and Alara stood there for a moment, trying to comfort each other.
01:04:45You don't think he's come back for you, do you?
01:04:47Alara's face drained of color instantly, panic flooding her eyes.
01:04:50Confidence they'd carried a moment Begor was gone. The two of them slipped away quickly.
01:04:55I kept walking alone, the mood of the night thoroughly ruined. Without warning, a hand
01:04:59grabbed me and pulled me into a narrow alley. I tensed instantly, already bracing to fight
01:05:03back. I looked up. It was Ronan.
01:05:05I followed you the whole way. Watching you get pushed around like that, it put me in a foul
01:05:09mood.
01:05:11And why did you follow me?
01:05:14I'm marrying you tomorrow. I was too excited to sleep at all.
01:05:18I'm nothing but a rejected Luna, you know. A general's daughter who's never even had a
01:05:22wolf of her own, let alone a fated mate. Just don't come to regret this.
01:05:27I won't.
01:05:27He pulled me closer, gently drawing me toward the curve of his neck. As I leaned in, close
01:05:33enough to feel the warmth of his skin, something strange stirred inside me. A scent, faint, unfamiliar,
01:05:39and yet impossibly familiar all at once, wrapped around me.
01:05:43Why, why was his scent pulling at me like this? Why couldn't I resist it? I pulled back sharply,
01:05:49staring at him, my heart pounding for reasons I couldn't explain.
01:05:53Are you my...
01:05:54Ronan seemed thrown off by the way I was staring at him.
01:05:58I'll see you tomorrow, my Luna.
01:06:01The next morning, the maids woked me early, dressing me, styling my hair, wrapping me
01:06:07in my wedding gown. That was when it finally felt real. I was really getting married. Only
01:06:12this time, the groom waiting for me wasn't Cole, the childhood companion I had spent years
01:06:16hoping for. It was Alpha King Ronan. When the wedding procession finally arrived, I froze.
01:06:21Leading it was Cole. He saw me standing there, in my full wedding attire, and his expression
01:06:26twisted instantly. How dare you dress more beautiful than Alara did on her wedding day.
01:06:33You're nothing but a chosen mate. I'm here today to take my second Luna. Go change. Right
01:06:38now. I didn't back down for a second. I've told you this more than once. Our wedding is
01:06:43off. The man I'm marrying today isn't you. Don't throw a fight over this. Isn't it just
01:06:50because I made a lemur a Luna too? You're both my Lunas. I'll treat you equally. Come with
01:06:54me, okay?
01:06:58Ronan rode in at the head of the procession, an endless line of carriages trailing behind
01:07:02him, each one loaded with gold, jewels, treasures beyond counting. His gaze landed on Cole, and
01:07:08on the pitiful procession behind him, fewer than 20 people in total.
01:07:13Well, well, Alpha Cole. Trying to steal my wife again?
01:07:37We'll see you next time.
01:07:37Yep, come on.

01:17:51On our wedding day, my chosen mate Cole left, and took my illegitimate sister Alara from her wedding,
01:17:57because he didn't want her to marry the pack's infamous playboy, Alpha King Ronan.
01:18:01They became mates that same night.
01:18:04Cole lost control, and fucked her 99 times straight.
01:18:08Alara's moans and screams ringing out through the pack.
01:18:10The whole pack was waiting, to watch me and Ronan become a joke.
01:18:13A general's daughter and an Alpha King, both rejected on the same night.
01:18:17But the next day, Ronan came to my door, dragging chests of gold and jewels behind him.
01:18:23A debt is a debt.
01:18:25Cole stole my bride, so he owes me his.
01:18:28I want you as my mate.
01:18:30That's fair, isn't it?
01:18:31I'll marry you.
01:18:32He clearly hadn't expected me to agree to something so absurd.
01:18:38That's what you said.
01:18:40I'll come for you in three days.
01:18:42Don't you dare change your mind.
01:18:48He wasn't nearly as reckless as the rumors claimed.
01:18:51If anything, he was a little endearing.
01:18:54Not long after Ronan left, I went back to Cole's home, to pack my things and move out.
01:19:00Halfway through, Cole came back.
01:19:02He was holding Alara, and this time, she didn't bother hiding it.
01:19:05She lifted her dress to show off her six-month pregnant belly.
01:19:10So they'd been sneaking around behind my back for at least six months.
01:19:14Disgusting.
01:19:16Cole, you're standing here with your six-month pregnant mate.
01:19:20What could you possibly want now?
01:19:22Nova, I didn't want it to be this way.
01:19:24But Alara is gentle.
01:19:26And she's my fated mate.
01:19:27She's carrying my child.
01:19:29I couldn't just watch her get thrown to that reckless playboy of an Alpha King.
01:19:36I'm a strong Alpha.
01:19:38How could I let my fainted mate suffer a marriage like that?
01:19:41And yet he could watch me, and the entire Draven family become the pack's laughingstock without blinking.
01:19:46The moment he stormed that ceremony, whatever we had was already over.
01:19:49Then that settles it.
01:19:51Our wedding is off.
01:19:55Nova, don't be like this.
01:19:56Even if I marry her, it won't change anything between us.
01:19:59I've already decided.
01:20:00You'll marry me too.
01:20:01You'll be my Luna as well.
01:20:03Two Lunas?
01:20:04Since when has our pack ever allowed that?
01:20:07You swore to the Moon Goddessy.
01:20:09You said you would be loyal to me.
01:20:11And only me.
01:20:13I did.
01:20:14I chose you as my mate because I needed someone fit to be my Luna.
01:20:18You were never more than my chosen mate, Nova.
01:20:20But when I met Alara, I realized she's my fated mate.
01:20:24Nothing in this world compares to her.
01:20:27I looked at Alara, who was still stroking her belly, making sure everyone saw it.
01:20:32You knew he already had a mate.
01:20:34So why did you run from your own wedding?
01:20:36Why choose to be someone's mistress instead?
01:20:39Alara's eyes welled up instantly.
01:20:43You're so harsh with me.
01:20:46Alpha Cole just didn't want me to suffer.
01:20:48That's all he did.
01:20:49He saved me.
01:20:50Are you...
01:20:51Are you just jealous?
01:20:53Alpha Cole already said you could be his Luna too.
01:20:59An illegitimate daughter really doesn't know how to carry herself in front of others, does she?
01:21:04Alara's face crumbled instantly.
01:21:06She burst into tears, burying herself against Cole's chest.
01:21:12Nova, how could you say something like that to her?
01:21:15Look what you've done, you've made her cry.
01:21:17He held Alara tighter, glaring at me, as if I were the one in the wrong.
01:21:21Alara is so kind-hearted.
01:21:24Once you marry in, she won't make things hard for you.
01:21:26I know it's a step down, but you'll just have to accept being my second Luna for now.
01:21:31You and Alara will both be my Lunas.
01:21:33As long as you fulfill your duties, I won't play favorites.
01:21:36Oh, and what exactly are these duties?
01:21:41You'll raise our children, and you'll still manage the pack's daily affairs.
01:21:44Your standing in the pack won't be affected at all.
01:21:46So you want two Lunas?
01:21:48One to sleep beside you, and one to obediently raise your children and handle your chores?
01:21:53A general's daughter, reduced to a second Luna.
01:21:56I almost admired him for having the nerve to say it out loud.
01:22:01I'd advise you to cherish what's already been arranged for you.
01:22:04This is already the best outcome you're going to get.
01:22:06Cole stepped forward, his tone softening, as if he were doing me a favor.
01:22:11Nova, Alara has already sacrificed so much.
01:22:14Just agreed to be Luna alongside her.
01:22:19She doesn't need to sacrifice anything at all, because I will never agree.
01:22:23We're done.
01:22:25What?
01:22:26What did you just say?
01:22:28The pack members were already whispering among themselves.
01:22:30Is she out of her mind?
01:22:32She actually wants to leave Alpha Cole?
01:22:34If she leaves the pack, she won't survive a week out there.
01:22:40You're really making this difficult for me, Nova.
01:22:43I almost laughed.
01:22:44Who exactly stormed a wedding ceremony and claimed another woman as his mate the night before ours?
01:22:49Who turned me into the pack's laughingstock?
01:22:51And now he had the nerve to say I was the one making things difficult.
01:22:56I told you, I will never be your second Luna.
01:23:00He raised his hand and struck me hard across the face.
01:23:03Nova, you're being completely unreasonable.
01:23:06Everyone knows you've clung to me since childhood.
01:23:08I've had my fill of you for years.
01:23:10Do you really think anyone else would want you now?
01:23:12Get out of my house!
01:23:16Good.
01:23:16Let her go.
01:23:17Don't let her take a single thing with her.
01:23:19So you want me dead?
01:23:20And you want to take everything I own?
01:23:22My whole body was shaking with fury.
01:23:24Behind me, Cole's pack members roared in unison.
01:23:27Reject that bitch!
01:23:30Rotten vegetables and eggs flew through the air, striking my back, my shoulders, the ground at my feet.
01:23:35I knew, in that moment, that the Cole who once looked at me like I was the center of his
01:23:39world,
01:23:40the one who couldn't bear to see me suffer even the smallest slight, was already dead.
01:23:44What stood in front of me now was nothing more than Alara's mate.
01:23:47But it doesn't matter.
01:23:48Luckily, I already have a new, much better mate who could crush them in seconds.
01:23:52And soon, we would be married.
01:23:53Ronan didn't give me any time to change my mind.
01:23:56The very next day, the Draven family came to formally propose, carrying 108 chests of betrothal gifts, filling my room
01:24:04to the brim.
01:24:06I was just about to have the servants move everything into storage when Cole walked in, Alara trailing behind him.
01:24:14Seeing the chests piled everywhere, the two of them clearly jumped to their own conclusion.
01:24:19Sister, is this all your dowry?
01:24:21I knew it, you're marrying Alpha Cole after all, and you're even throwing in all of this on top of
01:24:25it.
01:24:26See, and you kept saying you weren't.
01:24:28Oh, Nova, you really are in love with me.
01:24:31I frowned, denying it immediately.
01:24:33It's not what you think!
01:24:34Stop pretending.
01:24:35Yesterday, you said you weren't marrying me, and now you've already got your dowry ready.
01:24:39That's right, Nova.
01:24:41Once you marry in, we'll all be one family.
01:24:44Alpha Cole, didn't you also prepare a gift for Nova?
01:24:48Hurry, give it to me.
01:24:49As she reached for him, something caught the light and flickered past my eyes.
01:24:52A necklace, resting against her collarbone.
01:24:55The Cole family kept an heirloom necklace, passed down for generations, always meant for the family's future Luna.
01:25:00I had hinted at it, asked about it, more times than I could count over the years.
01:25:04He always found some excuse to avoid the subject, never once willing to give it to me.
01:25:09Cole scowled and dug something out from inside his coat.
01:25:11A worn, cracked leather bracelet and tossed it at me.
01:25:17Here, this is for you.
01:25:19Alara wore it until it fell apart, but you can still use it.
01:25:23What goes around comes around, doesn't it, sister?
01:25:25You used to look down on me.
01:25:27Now, all you get to have is what I've already worn out.
01:25:30The moment brought me back to the first time we ever met, at a family banquet.
01:25:35Because she was nothing more than an legitimate daughter.
01:25:37My family, even the servants, treated her like a maid.
01:25:40When she accidentally spilled wine on someone, she was struck across the face without a second thought.
01:25:46Cole couldn't stand watching it happen, and stepped in to help her.
01:25:49After that, afraid she'd be mistreated again, he started looking out for her.
01:25:53Always saving the best food, the best gifts, for her first.
01:25:56I just feel bad for her, that's all. I only want to help her.
01:25:59At first, I believed him. I thought it really was just pity.
01:26:02Not until the day Alara was forced to marry Ronan, and Cole stormed the ceremony to steal her away.
01:26:07That was when I finally understood.
01:26:09Somewhere along the way, without my ever noticing, Alara had already carved out a place in his heart.
01:26:16So generous with Alaya, so stingy with me.
01:26:19No need.
01:26:21Something this precious should stay with your Alaya.
