FunTranscript
00:00Damon had his people throw me off the pack haul at our mating ceremony.
00:03Vivian's pup needs a father on paper. Once my bond with her is dissolved, I will marry.
00:08Everyone assumed I would wait one more month. After all, I had already waited seven years.
00:12But that very same night, I accepted my family's marriage arrangement.
00:15I flew across the border and left Damon's world. For good.
00:19Three years later, I returned to the old territory with my husband for the ancestral rights.
00:23Ethan was held up by something urgent, so we fly separately.
00:26He sent people from a pack he had acquired three years ago to pick me up.
00:30In the crowd at the arrival gate, I spotted a sign. It bore my pack name, Lena.
00:34I walked toward it. The person holding the sign looked up. It was Damon.
00:37Vivian stood beside him, along with a group of old friends from years past.
00:40They were waiting for me. They didn't know the person they were waiting for was me.
00:44Damon saw me. He startled for a second. Then that self-important smile slid back onto his face.
00:49See? I told you she'd come back. Damon, isn't that your little lapdog, Lena?
00:55Someone in the crowd recognized me. Laughter erupted.
00:57She disappeared for three years, and now that Damon's made it big, she comes crawling back?
01:01Dressed like that? She can't even afford a decent outfit? Things must have gone badly out there, huh, Lena?
01:06I glanced down at the heartstone chain on my wrist, the one worth $20 million.
01:10I said nothing. Whenever I used to see Damon, I dressed to perfection.
01:14The most flawless makeup. The most tailored gown. Putting my very best self on display for him.
01:19And now, this outfit was custom-made for me by someone Ethan had commissioned.
01:22Because I was pregnant, and he refused to let me wear anything restrictive.
01:26I didn't need to dress up for anyone anymore, all for comfort.
01:29I also understood what was happening. They only knew my pack name.
01:32They had no idea the person they were here to collect was me.
01:34So they were still mocking me, still unaware of what they were doing.
01:39The silence stretched too long. One of Damon's old friends stepped in to smooth things over.
01:44Lena, it's good that you're back. Damon's actually been looking for you all these years.
01:48The smile on Damon's face stiffened for a beat.
01:51Vivian's pup is starting Academy soon. You'll be responsible for drop-offs and pick-ups from now on.
01:55Three years had passed. He was exactly the same.
01:57That sense of entitlement, that air of superiority. I was about to reveal who I was.
02:02Lena, don't blame Damon. He's arranging this for your own good.
02:06The way you've been getting by out there, you don't even qualify to be my personal secretary.
02:11Help me look after my son. No one will look down on you for that.
02:15Damon caught me frowning and assumed I was jealous. A flicker of satisfaction crossed his eyes.
02:19Alright, if the outside world didn't work out, stop pretending it did.
02:23Take care of the child. Know your place.
02:27Don't worry. There's no shortage of Omega servant quarters in the house.
02:31He genuinely believed. I had come back because I couldn't let him go.
02:34Look how well Damon's taking care of you. Room and board all sorted. Go on, thank Damon.
02:41Lena, don't worry. If my son acts up, I'll discipline him myself. I won't let you be mistreated.
02:47Damon let out a cold laugh.
02:48What does she have to be mistreated about?
02:50She vanished over something trivial, and now she's back because she couldn't make it out there.
02:56A little hardship is exactly what she deserves.
02:59My heart skipped. Even now, he's still called that. Trivial.
03:02The heavy rain outside Pac Hall. His back as he walked in with Vivian.
03:06Seven years. To him, it was just a trivial thing.
03:08The boy who had once carried me across half the territory while bleeding out himself.
03:12Just to keep his promise.
03:14He was long dead. Dead the day he chose Vivian for the first time.
03:17It was all in the past. I didn't need any of that anymore.
03:20I was about to have my second child.
03:23I pressed down every feeling and looked at Damon with perfect calm.
03:26Aren't you here to pick me up? Let's go.
03:29A beat of silence fell over the crowd. Then, laughter exploded.
03:33Wait for you? Who do you think you are? We're waiting for Lena. Do you even know who that is?
03:40Of course I did. That's my name.
03:43Ethan swore never to bond. They say he was waiting for her his whole life.
03:47Everyone in the circles knows, if you want to get close to Ethan, go through his Luna.
03:52There's nothing he wouldn't give up for that woman.
03:54Listening to them describe my own life, I couldn't keep the corners of my mouth from lifting.
03:57Three years into our bond, Ethan's power had only grown.
04:00And his reputation for doting on his Luna had grown with it.
04:03Vivian had always had a talent for flaunting other people's lives in my face.
04:06At the Blood Summit auction, Ethan won a heartstone chain for his Luna.
04:11Value? $20 million.
04:13Every female on the continent envies that woman.
04:19It's... this one.
04:22Everyone was staring at the chain on my wrist.
04:24Damon grabbed my hand and leaned in for a close look.
04:27Replica. Which delivery boy Omega bought you this?
04:31Wearing garbage like that in public, shameless.
04:34I pulled my hand free. I traced my fingers over every stone on the chain.
04:37The day Ethan clasped it onto my wrist, he murmured in my ear,
04:41Don't ever take it off.
04:42I smiled. Damon saw my smile. His pupils contracted sharply.
04:45He lunged forward and ripped the chain from my wrist.
04:48I hadn't been ready for it.
04:49He got away with it.
04:49The thing Ethan gave me had just fallen into Vivian's hands.
04:53Nice weight. Definitely more refined than the fake I bought.
04:56But I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something like this in public.
04:59Or could it be...
05:06The laughter that broke out was deafening, because it was absurd.
05:09Ethan was the strongest Alpha on the continent.
05:11And I, three years ago, was the broken Omega Damon had driven out of Pack Hall.
05:15No one could possibly connect the two.
05:17Vivian tossed the chain in her palm, weighing it.
05:20Lena, I'll buy this off you. Double the price.
05:24Give it back! That was a gift from Ethan!
05:30Shut up!
05:31Damon towered over me, eyes burning with irritation.
05:34You think you can drop Ethan's name just like that?
05:37Spreading rumors about a connection with him in a place like this?
05:41Are you trying to get me killed?
05:43Lena, do you have any idea?
05:45Getting to receive Ethan's Luna was a chance a thousand people fought over.
05:50Damon's pack was acquired by Ethan three years ago.
05:53We all survive on his goodwill now.
05:55If you spread lies here, you'll bring ruin down on every single one of us.
05:59I slowly raised my hand and wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth.
06:03Slowly turned my head and looked Damon directly in the eyes.
06:06Damon's brow furrowed.
06:08Something in his gaze flickered with unease.
06:11He thought I was the Lena he remembered.
06:13He thought I would cry, beg, explain.
06:16He didn't know.
06:17The way I looked at him now was the same way I'd look at a dead man.
06:20Vivian caught the way Damon was looking at me.
06:22She immediately pointed a finger in my face.
06:24Lena, you ungrateful wolf!
06:26Damon already agreed to take you in and this is how you act?
06:31Even if you resent him, you don't get to use this kind of revenge!
06:35I had a strange sense of deja vu.
06:37Three years ago, it was exactly like this.
06:39No matter what happened, Vivian would twist the truth and feed it to Damon.
06:43In the beginning, Damon would still yell at Vivian for it.
06:46Later, he started echoing her words to come after me.
06:49Just like now, Damon bit out.
06:51Jealous.
06:52But he didn't keep going.
06:53He went quiet for a moment.
06:54Then reached into his jacket.
06:56Placed a check in front of me.
06:58Two hundred thousand.
06:59The posture of charity.
07:01The expression of charity.
07:02He genuinely believed this was the greatest dignity he could offer me.
07:06Out of respect for what we once had, I won't do anything to you.
07:09Take the money.
07:10Go buy yourself something decent to wear.
07:13If you don't want to look after the child, I'll find you a respectable position in a few days.
07:17Since Ethan acquired my pack, this amount means nothing to me.
07:21I looked at that check.
07:22Looked at his face.
07:23Giving charity.
07:24Under the stunned stares of everyone around us, I pushed it back.
07:27Retrieved the chain from Vivian's hand.
07:29No thank you.
07:30I don't take things from strangers.
07:33I'm a stranger?
07:35Lina, what the hell does that mean?
07:37Since the relationship is over, it's better we don't associate.
07:40I wouldn't want my husband to get the wrong idea.
07:43Damon's expression shifted.
07:47He glanced at Vivian and that knowing look crossed his face.
07:49He thought I was trying to make him jealous.
07:51In three days, Ironcrest Pack is hosting a Blood Moon Gala in Ethan's honor.
07:56I'll take you.
07:57Give you a glimpse of how the other half lives.
08:03Though you'll need to find yourself something decent to wear first, or else...
08:06No thank you.
08:08Damon's face darkened.
08:09Lina, I hope in three days you'll still feel this confident.
08:14I walked out of the arrival gate without looking back.
08:16Fresh air flooded my lungs.
08:18The nausea in my stomach finally began to ease.
08:21Three years ago, my family had pressured me to cross the border for an arranged marriage.
08:25I held out against it and ran to Damon, begging him to complete our bond first.
08:30Make it a done deal before anyone could interfere.
08:33As you wish.
08:33He agreed.
08:34Then at the doors of Pack Hall, I didn't just find him.
08:37I found Vivian waiting beside him.
08:40Vivian's pup needs to be registered.
08:42I have to complete the bond with her first.
08:44One month.
08:45Then I'll come for you immediately.
08:46It's only for the child's sake.
08:48Don't read into it.
08:50I watched him walk into Pack Hall with Vivian on his arm.
08:53That night, I set out.
08:55One month later, I married Ethan.
08:57The year after that, Leo was born.
08:59Just a few days ago, I confirmed I was carrying a second.
09:02If not for accompanying Ethan back for the ancestral rites,
09:05I would never have set foot on this land again for the rest of my life.
09:09Let alone, run into him at the arrival gate.
09:12Three days later, I put on a light layer of makeup.
09:14The same custom soft fabric dress.
09:17I went to the Blood Moon Gala alone.
09:19The moment I walked in, Damon spotted me.
09:23A light flickered in his eyes.
09:25That familiar, self-satisfied curve pulled at the corner of his mouth.
09:29Said you wouldn't come, but here you are.
09:33Body doesn't lie.
09:37Though if you want me to look twice, you could at least dress the part.
09:41For an occasion like this, what you're wearing...
09:44I stepped around him and kept walking.
09:46He grabbed my arm.
09:47I'm talking to you.
09:52Our seats are over here. Where are you going?
09:55I looked calmly toward the far end of the hall.
09:57That's your seat.
09:59Mine is over there.
10:00Following my gaze, Damon saw the head table.
10:03The Alpha's seat.
10:04The Luna's seat.
10:05His expression changed.
10:07Vivian's eyes turned vicious instantly.
10:09She fixed her glare on the chain at my wrist and raised her voice.
10:13Lena!
10:14How did you get in here?
10:15Are you here to cause trouble?
10:17Walking in with that chain.
10:19Are you trying to humiliate the Luna?
10:22Tonight is Ethan's first time bringing his Luna out in public.
10:26Rogue woman.
10:27Get out!
10:28Every guest in the room turned to look.
10:30Someone glanced at Damon.
10:31Damon Alpha.
10:32Do you know this person?
10:33Damon straightened his cuffs, perfectly composed.
10:36No.
10:37One word.
10:38Clean.
10:38Final.
10:39Vivian lifted her chin immediately.
10:42Take off that chain and get out!
10:44She reached for it.
10:45I stepped aside.
10:46But someone deliberately tripped me from behind.
10:49I fell.
10:50Vivian planted her foot on my wrist.
10:53The chain.
10:54She tore it free with brute force.
10:56The gems scattered across the floor, like a shattered constellation.
11:01Drag her out!
11:02Pain screamed through my wrist, bone deep.
11:04Stop!
11:06I'm Ethan's...
11:08His what?
11:09His mistress?
11:10Who do you think you are?
11:14She backhands me again.
11:15I lay against the middle of the floor.
11:17When I came back here, I hadn't planned to settle scores with anyone.
11:20There was no point.
11:21But now, she had struck me twice.
11:23She had destroyed something Ethan gave me.
11:25She would pay for both of those things.
11:27Everything she was capable of losing.
11:29She would lose it all.
11:31Damon crouched in front of me.
11:33He reached out as if to touch the wound on my wrist.
11:35I flinched away on instinct.
11:37He looked at me coldly.
11:39Are you done making a scene?
11:41You came in that outfit, wearing that chain.
11:44You missed me, didn't you?
11:46You wanted to make me jealous.
11:48Just say the word and I'll give you what you want.
12:01Damon...
12:03Ethan's here.
12:04Behave yourself.
12:06Vivian and I have already dissolved our bond.
12:08I pressed my nearly crushed wrist.
12:10Looking at his face, I felt nothing but revulsion.
12:12Whether you two dissolve your bond or not, what does that have to do with me?
12:17Then...
12:18The doors opened.
12:19Ethan walked in, carrying Leo.
12:23The moment Leo entered the hall, he squirmed to get down from Ethan's arms.
12:27The moment the cherub-faced little pup touched the ground.
12:30Every eye in the room was pulled to him.
12:32Damon turned to me abruptly.
12:34Lena.
12:35As long as you stop provoking Vivian, I can forgive you for disappearing three years.
12:40I'll give you a chance.
12:41Bear me a child.
12:43A child that belongs to us.
12:45I paid him no attention.
12:46I was looking through the crowd, trying to catch Leo's eye.
12:49Leo's gaze swept the room.
12:51Then, locked, he broke free from Ethan's hand and charged toward me.
12:54Crashed into my arms.
12:56Mama, what happened to you?
12:59Who did this?
13:00Why is there so much blood on your hand?
13:03That one word.
13:04Mama.
13:05And the entire gala went still.
13:08The gala stood by cold-eyed while I was struck.
13:11Their faces all changed at once.
13:14Leo held on to me, eyes going red.
13:17I crouched to meet him at eye level.
13:19Cupped his round little cheeks in my hands.
13:22Mama is fine.
13:24Whoever dares to treat Mama like this.
13:28I was about to reassure him when I felt the pressure from behind.
13:31Not an ordinary approach.
13:33It was Ethan's.
13:34The kind that felt like a mountain moving.
13:36The kind that made the air itself go still.
13:38The crowd parted automatically.
13:39I didn't need to turn around to know he was furious.
13:42Since I'd gotten pregnant with our second, he'd have kept me physically tucked against
13:46him if he could.
13:47If it hadn't been for the urgent matter, he never would have sent someone else to pick
13:50me up.
13:51I lifted Leo into my arms.
13:53Turned around.
13:54Ethan was standing there.
13:55His gaze dropped to the bloodstain on my wrist.
13:58Then to the marks on my face.
14:00His eyes went dark.
14:04Leo slipped out of my arms and ran to Ethan.
14:06Daddy, someone hurt Mama!
14:08Let's go get revenge!
14:12Lena, tell me what happened.
14:15One moment I'm away and you're already hurt.
14:17Which blind fool did this?!
14:19I'm fine, Ethan.
14:22Lena, I'm your mate.
14:24If something wronged you, you don't have to carry it alone.
14:27We can't let anyone hurt Mama!
14:29Maybe it was the pregnancy.
14:31Maybe I'd held it together for too long.
14:32My voice came out with a tremor I hadn't planned for.
14:35You weren't there, and they all went after me.
14:39At that moment, Leo's eyes caught something on the floor.
14:42He bent down and picked up a single gem.
14:44Daddy, isn't this part of the gift you gave Mama?
14:48Ethan took the stone and turned it over.
14:51On the back, two letters were engraved.
14:53E. L.
14:56Turn on every light.
15:01Every light in the gala blazed on.
15:03Ethan tilted my face toward him.
15:07They actually dared to do this to you.
15:10We can't let them get away with this.
15:12I didn't know if it was the pregnancy, but my emotions kept slipping past my defenses.
15:17You weren't there, and they all went after me.
15:22The people who had followed to the arrival gate to mock me, their legs were shaking now.
15:27They were finally putting it together.
15:30The woman in the custom soft fabric dress three days ago.
15:34The woman with the heartstone chain on her wrist.
15:36The woman who kept insisting she was Ethan's Luna.
15:40She hadn't been making it up.
15:42Every word she said had been true.
15:47Just then, Vivian's follower, Jade, stepped forward.
15:51Lena, are these two actors you hired?
15:54Not bad performances, honestly.
15:57Want Vivian to help you find an agent?
15:59Though, since you can't even afford a decent outfit these days.
16:03I have one I've worn before, I could give it to you.
16:05Save you the embarrassment.
16:07Jade had arrived last.
16:08She hadn't seen Leo throw himself into my arms.
16:11She had dressed to kill tonight.
16:12Hoping to catch the eye of a powerful mate.
16:16The fastest route to a powerful mate in these circles.
16:19Was to win Vivian's favor.
16:21And the most effective way to win Vivian's favor.
16:24Was to make my life miserable.
16:27So she opened her mouth.
16:29No one in the room laughed.
16:31Everyone was staring at her like she'd lost her mind.
16:34Jade began to panic.
16:36She turned to Ethan and tilted her face upward, trying to be coy.
16:40The man next to her, he's not bad looking.
16:42If you're willing to leave Lena, I might consider keeping you.
16:46Keeping.
16:47Ethan.
16:48I nearly laughed out loud.
16:53Ethan started laughing.
16:55That kind of laugh.
16:57The rare one.
16:58Where it curls up at the corners and he can't quite stop it.
17:01He had always been particular about my safety.
17:04Over the years, anyone who tried to get close to him either vanished or ended up on the far end
17:08of the continent.
17:10He wasn't angry.
17:12He simply found her amusing.
17:14In the way one finds someone who has used up their borrowed time, Jade sensed the shift in the room
17:19and tried to press herself closer to Vivian.
17:22Vivian immediately gave her a slap that sent her to the floor.
17:26Jade, are you trying to die?
17:28You dare offend Ethan and his Luna?
17:30Do you have a death wish?
17:32Jade clutched her face, slumped on the marble murmuring.
17:36Lena is Lena.
17:37She's really the Luna.
17:38I offended.
17:40I...
17:40Ethan was notorious across the continent for being fiercely protective of his mate.
17:45Jade's mind went to what might be waiting for her.
17:48Her whole body began to tremble.
17:50Someone in the crowd gasped.
17:52All eyes moved to the hem of Jade's dress.
17:55She had wet herself from fear.
17:58Ethan gave a slight frown.
17:59His guards understood without a word and dragged her out.
18:03Damon and Vivian's faces flushed a deep, mortified red.
18:08Everyone in the room knew that Jade's words had always followed wherever their hearts pointed.
18:15The healer Ethan had summoned was treating my wounds.
18:18The antiseptic touched skin.
18:20I hissed through my teeth.
18:23Just that one sound.
18:25And Ethan and Leo both looked up with murder in their eyes.
18:28You can't even apply medicine without hurting her?
18:31The healer's hands began to shake even harder.
18:34I pretended to glare at them.
18:36Lena.
18:37Mama.
18:38Father and son both shrank back, looking aggrieved.
18:41I sighed.
18:43The healer is helping me.
18:45Stop terrifying her.
18:46The healer visibly exhaled.
18:48After her examination, she addressed Ethan.
18:51Alpha Ethan.
18:52The luma is unharmed.
18:54And the pup in the womb is safe as well.
18:57The wound on her wrist is fairly deep.
19:00I'll use the finest medicine available and do my best to ensure it heals without scarring.
19:05Ethan went quiet.
19:06Said nothing.
19:07Only I knew.
19:09This was what it looked like when he was truly, deeply, furious.
19:14Damon, the one most responsible for all of it, was finally beginning to feel afraid.
19:20He never could have imagined.
19:22That the Omega he had thrown away had become the mate of the man above him in every hierarchy that
19:28mattered.
19:30Ethan stood beside me and swept a slow gaze across the room.
19:34I'd like you all to volunteer.
19:35I'd like you all to volunteer what happened in the past few days.
19:39If I have to find out on my own.
19:42He paused.
19:43Everyone present may not die pleasantly.
19:45Damon's complexion shifted.
19:47He was the first to speak.
19:50Ethan Alpha.
19:51This is all a misunderstanding.
19:53As Lena's former intended mate, I was simply catching up with her.
19:57The glass in Ethan's hand let out a faint, precise crack.
20:00Damon didn't notice and kept going.
20:03Ethan Alpha must know how much Lena used to love me.
20:06Catching up is only natural, isn't it?
20:09The glass shattered.
20:10Ethan's hand was covered in blood.
20:12I ached just looking at it.
20:14Damon, stop flattering yourself.
20:16I tended to Ethan's hand while I spoke.
20:17In this life, I have only ever loved Ethan.
20:20Say anything else to drive a wedge between us and don't expect me to stay civil.
20:24Ethan looked down, watching me bandage his hand.
20:27And then he smiled.
20:29Lena, you just said I'm your favorite.
20:33I was speechless.
20:37Damon's expression turned wounded.
20:39Lena, Vivian and I have dissolved our bond.
20:43He opened his mouth again.
20:45That pup could call you mama going forward too.
20:47You only married Ethan to spite me, didn't you?
20:50I understand.
20:51I don't mind.
20:52As long as you're willing to come back, everything I can give you, none of it is less than what
20:56he offers.
20:57As long as you're willing to come back and be my son's nanny.
21:00Leo, sitting nearby, slowly set down his fork.
21:02He studied Damon for a moment.
21:04Nanny?
21:05My mama is a little princess at home.
21:09You think you're worthy of making her a nanny?
21:12Mama will only ever have me and my little sister, two children.
21:15Your pup of unclear wargences has no business being connected to my mama.
21:19You're not as handsome as my daddy, not as tall either.
21:23And you smell the kind of broke that gets into your eyes.
21:26The guests around them burst out laughing.
21:29Damon's face went purple.
21:31At this moment, Vivian had completely lost what remained of her composure.
21:34She heard Damon say, let Lena be the child's mother.
21:38She picked up a fork and lunged at Leo.
21:43You little bastard, I'll kill you!
21:45The moment Vivian charged at Leo, I released Ethan's hand and threw myself over Leo.
21:50Son, are you?
21:52Okay, the word never came out.
21:55Before I lost consciousness, I saw Leo's face.
21:58Panicked.
21:59Pale.
22:00I wanted to tell him, don't cry.
22:02The words didn't come.
22:04Everything went dark.
22:07The sharp smell of antiseptic pulled me back.
22:10White ceiling above me.
22:12A patient's gown.
22:14Mia was sitting at the bedside.
22:16The moment she saw my eyes open, she threw herself at me.
22:20Lena!
22:21You're finally awake!
22:23If you'd slept any longer, those two little demons of yours would have torn the whole territory apart!
22:28My first instinct.
22:30I pressed a hand to my stomach.
22:32Mia understood immediately.
22:34Relax.
22:35You and the baby are both perfectly fine.
22:37The doctor said it was the shock combined with the pain from your wound that made you pass out.
22:41Yeah.
22:42That Vivian is absolutely unhinged!
22:45Going at Leo with a fork!
22:47Where are Leo and Ethan?
22:48Safe.
22:49Both of them.
22:51You were still too reckless.
22:52With that many guards around, it wasn't your turn to step in.
22:56That's Leo.
22:57I know, I know.
22:58Your precious little pup.
23:00That little creature is vicious enough on his own.
23:03He didn't need protection.
23:05Where are they now, the two of them?
23:08Mia's eyes lit up.
23:09Gone to avenge you.
23:12I got there after you'd already passed out, but I pieced together what happened from the people around.
23:17After you went down, Leo picked up the fork from the floor and drove it straight through Vivian's palm.
23:24He's three years old.
23:25I have no idea where he found the strength.
23:28Ethan had also learned by then what happened at the arrival gate three days ago.
23:32That Damon slapped you.
23:34That he tore off the heartstone chain.
23:36The way they all humiliated you.
23:38He knew every detail.
23:40Then he had his guards hold Damon down and had the hand that struck you cut off.
23:46Leo watched the whole thing without blinking once.
23:50Such a little tyrant.
23:52Vivian.
23:52Ethan had someone bring in a crate of gemstones and told her to swallow them all.
23:55He said exactly this.
23:57Since you love taking things that belong to others so much, I'll give you your fill.
24:00The gems are yours.
24:01So is the man.
24:03She swallowed.
24:04She refused.
24:05So they brought in her son.
24:07She swallowed a lot.
24:09When she was half dead from it, Ethan had someone carve up her face,
24:14severed the tendons in her son's hands,
24:16and had her thrown into international waters.
24:19The guests who stood there and watched you get beaten,
24:21every single one of them left with a scar on their wrist.
24:23So they'll remember the cost of looking away while the Luna was being humiliated.
24:27Oh, and one more thing.
24:28Ironcrest pack officially dissolved.
24:29Everything Damon had.
24:30Starting today, gone.
24:35Though Damon was supposed to go into international waters too,
24:38but Vivian threw herself at the guards to buy him time.
24:42So he ran.
24:44Ethan and Leo are looking for him now.
24:49The trade wasn't hard to guess.
24:51Damon must have told Vivian something about her son.
24:54A mother's love will make her capable of anything.
24:57Vivian had swallowed that many stones.
25:00She wouldn't survive long.
25:02The only thing she had left to hold onto was that child.
25:05A heaviness settled somewhere in my chest.
25:07My son was already so good,
25:09and Ethan was turning him into something else entirely.
25:12I was about to ask more questions.
25:14The door to the ward was shoved open.
25:16Two figures.
25:17One tall.
25:18One small.
25:20Leo elbowed Mia aside and launched himself toward the head of my bed.
25:24Lena, you're finally awake.
25:28Where does it hurt?
25:31Everyone who wronged you.
25:33I've already taken care of it.
25:35I'd only been unconscious for one night,
25:38but the two of them looked like they'd lost me for decades.
25:43I'm fine, Ethan.
25:45Stop worrying.
25:46I turned to Leo.
25:48Son?
25:49Did Daddy scold you?
25:50Leo paused.
25:51His little mouth puckered and tears came.
25:54No!
25:55Daddy didn't scold me.
25:57You're lying.
25:58I couldn't stand it when Leo kept things from me.
26:01But he held his ground.
26:03Knowing Ethan's temperament,
26:05Leo had definitely gotten an earful.
26:06I pulled Leo into my arms.
26:09Then I shot Ethan a look.
26:11Ethan froze in place.
26:13Unmistakably guilty.
26:15Mama, I won't ever let you get hurt again.
26:18This time it was my fault.
26:20I'm sorry, Mama.
26:22My heart dissolved completely.
26:24Protecting Leo is something Mama is meant to do.
26:28Mama isn't blaming you.
26:30Mia took Leo out.
26:31Just Ethan and me left in the ward.
26:36He was insistent on checking my wounds himself.
26:38Ethan, the doctor already bandaged everything.
26:42He bent down anyway and blew softly on the wound.
26:46Lena, I promise there won't be a next time.
26:50All right, I believe you.
26:53I hold my life very dear, Ethan.
26:56Because I still have a whole lifetime to spend with you.
26:59His eyes smiled.
27:00Like a child's.
27:02Ethan and Leo absolutely insisted I stay in the healer's den for observation.
27:06A whole team of healers examined me from every angle.
27:10Multiple times.
27:12Only when every indicator came back normal did they clear me for discharge.
27:16Leo, pass Mama the-
27:18Lena, it's me.
27:20I was packing up, facing away from the door.
27:23My hands went still.
27:24I turned around.
27:26Damon.
27:30His face was still swollen.
27:32His whole body covered in wounds.
27:34But he had made himself presentable.
27:36He was wearing the dress shirt I had given him years ago.
27:39The one he had once said was ugly.
27:41Cheap looking.
27:43What do you want?
27:44He had slipped past Ethan's guards to find me.
27:47He had to have connections.
27:48I couldn't afford to act rashly.
27:50Don't be afraid.
27:51I'm not here to hurt you.
27:52Damon seemed to read the caution in me and spoke quickly.
27:55I just-
27:56Just what?
27:59Lena, I still love you.
28:01When I think about you bonded to another male, carrying his children, I-I can't bear it.
28:06We can start over.
28:10Start over?
28:11Damon, when you drove me out of pack hall and made me the laughing stock of the entire pack,
28:17did you think about today?
28:20You come to me now with talk of love?
28:23Don't you find that revolting?
28:25Vivian was carrying my pup.
28:26I couldn't just-just abandon the situation.
28:30And you wouldn't have wanted a child growing up without a father.
28:34I laughed coldly.
28:36Children fall out of the sky, do they?
28:38If you'd kept control of yourself, how would you have accidentally gotten someone pregnant?
28:44And here you still are, making excuses for your own failures.
28:48The number of females you've been with?
28:50I've lost count.
28:51What makes you think I would ever come back?
28:54You're rotting meat.
28:56Why would you think I'd ever want to smell that again?
29:00The door flew open.
29:01Guards surged in and pinned Damon down.
29:03Ethan was the last one through the door, his expression black as char.
29:09Damon.
29:10Not dead fast enough, apparently.
29:14After confirming I was unharmed, he waved a hand and had the guards drag him out.
29:18As Damon was hauled away, he turned his head back.
29:22Ethan, you think she actually loves you?
29:26She only married you because of me!
29:28Ethan's fist connected.
29:30Damon went silent.
29:32He wasn't unaware of what I'd done to shield him.
29:35These years since we bonded, he'd carried a quiet insecurity inside him.
29:40Always feeling like I didn't love him quite enough.
29:43I watched his back as he left the ward.
29:45It ached somewhere in me.
29:47As for Damon, I wanted him erased from my life entirely.
29:52That night, back at the Pack Lodge, I stood in the corridor for a while, just drifting in my thoughts.
29:59Wedding portraits from our bonding ceremony hung along the wall.
30:03In the photo, Ethan had eyes only for me.
30:06In the photo, my expression was distant.
30:10Back then, it was still an arranged union.
30:12I hadn't fully opened my heart yet.
30:14But over these years, I had long since fallen for this man.
30:19Completely.
30:20I lifted one of the frames from the wall.
30:23On the back of the frame.
30:25Photographs.
30:26Covering every inch.
30:28All of me.
30:29Only me.
30:30Starting from high school.
30:32One of me handing out flyers at the academy entrance.
30:34Another taken after my secondary school graduation.
30:37Walking home alone.
30:38He had loved me.
30:39Long before I ever knew who he was.
30:42Footsteps from the far end of the corridor.
30:44Ethan was coming back.
30:46He saw me sitting on the settee, holding those photos.
30:49His footsteps stopped.
30:51He came forward.
30:52Like a child who knew he'd done something wrong.
30:57Lena, how did you-
30:58I looked up.
30:59If you liked me that much, why didn't you come find me sooner?
31:03You let me waste all those years tangled up with someone like Damon.
31:08The photographs are beautiful, by the way.
31:10I love them.
31:12Lena, you're not angry?
31:14Angry about what?
31:16I was watching your life without you knowing.
31:18I'm not right in the head.
31:19You are not not right in the head.
31:22When I look at these, all I feel is love.
31:25So much of it.
31:27The man who was almost never anything but composed.
31:29His eyes filled with tears.
31:31Lena, I never dared hope you'd love me.
31:35I only ever wanted you to stay by my side.
31:39There you go again, talking nonsense.
31:42You are all I see, Ethan.
31:45Every part of me.
31:46I had looked into his past afterward, abandoned by his birth parents as a child.
31:53His file wrote it simply.
31:55Foundling.
31:56Origin unknown.
31:57A foster father took him in, but never learned how to show warmth.
32:02In school, he was quiet.
32:04So quiet, no one dared approach him.
32:07Classmates gave him a nickname behind his back.
32:10The Mute Wolf.
32:11He never fought back.
32:13Every day, he sat alone at the farthest corner of the cafeteria.
32:16A single bowl of plain rice.
32:18No side dishes.
32:19Reading this, my eyes went hot.
32:21And then, I remembered something I had almost forgotten myself.
32:25Back in high school, I once cut through the neighboring academy and glanced into their cafeteria.
32:30I saw a boy.
32:31Sitting alone.
32:33Too thin.
32:34Uniform hanging loose off his shoulders.
32:36In front of him.
32:37Just a bowl of white rice.
32:40All around him, students laughed and shoved.
32:42Not one looked at him.
32:43He was like an extra person this world had left over.
32:46I walked in.
32:48Pulled a handful of meal vouchers from my bag.
32:50The ones my mother gave me to treat friends with.
32:53Slapped them down on his table.
32:55Hey.
32:56From today on, you're under my wing.
32:58Lena's crew.
32:59Consider this your initiation fee.
33:01The boy lifted his head.
33:03Slowly.
33:03His eyes were dark.
33:05Dark like a well that had never seen sunlight.
33:08I got embarrassed.
33:09Scratched my head.
33:10And ran off.
33:11I never even asked his name.
33:13And that boy.
33:14Turned out to be Ethan.
33:17I sat there, shaking.
33:19Ethan lifted his head.
33:20Lena?
33:21Back then, were you wearing a washed out blue jacket?
33:25He froze.
33:26I watched his face change.
33:28Inch by inch.
33:29Shock.
33:30Disbelief.
33:31Something raw enough to break.
33:33You...
33:33You remember?
33:34He dropped to his knees in front of me, like his legs had given out.
33:38I thought you'd forgotten long ago.
33:40I thought...
33:41All these years it was only mine to carry.
33:47He reached into the inner pocket against his chest.
33:50Drew out a worn leather wallet.
33:52Opened it.
33:54Inside.
33:55A single meal voucher.
33:57Yellowed.
33:58Soft at the corners from being rubbed between fingers.
34:02Over and over.
34:03This one's...
34:03The last.
34:05The others...
34:05I couldn't bear to spend them.
34:07They expired.
34:08Only this one.
34:09I kept on me.
34:10Always.
34:10Every time I felt like I couldn't go on, I'd take it out and look at it.
34:13To tell myself...
34:15Once, in this world, there was a girl who thought I was worth the price of a meal.
34:18My tears fell onto the yellowed voucher.
34:21What I had called a single moment of soft-heartedness was the light that had carried him through his entire
34:27adolescence.
34:28I lifted his face.
34:30Looked into those same dark eyes from the cafeteria corner.
34:32Ethan, from today on, it's my turn to watch you.
34:40And this time, you're not allowed to make yourself small anymore.
34:43He didn't speak.
34:44Just buried his face in my palms.
34:46Warm.
34:47Wet.
34:48Falling.
34:48One drop at a time.
34:50This man, who never bowed his head in front of the entire pack,
34:53was crying into my hands like that boy no one ever saw.
34:56He was crying into my hands like that boy no one ever saw.
34:57He was crying into my hands like that boy no one ever saw.
34:58He was crying into my hands like that boy no one ever saw.
34:58He was crying into my hands like that boy no one ever saw.
34:58He was crying into my hands like that boy no one ever saw.
34:59You
