Transcript

00:00:00I married Alpha Evan out of gratitude. For three years I guarded his pack. Yet Evan never loved me. He

00:00:09marked my sister before the whole pack. Everyone thought my sister was the pureblood Luna. Evan blamed me for being

00:00:16infertile.

00:00:17You're a freak. Everyone mocked the golden-eyed freak, never knowing I was the true Luna heir. When the truth

00:00:24comes out, they will be shocked. Three years since I married Alpha Evan, Alpha Joseph's son. Alpha Joseph died shortly

00:00:32after I married Alpha Evan, and I kept my promise. As long as I remain within his territory, my Luna

00:00:37power automatically forms a protective barrier, warding off all invading rogue werewolves.

00:00:42I love Evan with all my heart and have given everything for him, yet I have never managed to melt

00:00:47his cold heart. His heart has always belonged to my younger sister Selena. Even after Selena abandoned him cruelly long

00:00:53ago, he still clings to memories of her. For three years I wrapped the entire pack in my Luna barrier

00:00:58blocking every wave of rogue attacks. I loved him silently, yielded to him every night, and waited patiently for his

00:01:05mark. One day, after our intimacy, I cling to a faint hope.

00:01:10Evan, I've stayed by your side for three years. Won't you give me the mate mark I've always longed for?

00:01:16Three years, and you still can't conceive an heir. You're nothing but a freak with golden eyes. How dare you

00:01:22even beg for my mark?

00:01:23A useless freak? Who do you think has been shielding your pack in silence all these years?

00:01:29Shield my pack. Don't make me laugh. Your wolf power isn't even half as strong as Selena's. A cursed golden

00:01:35-eyed outpiece like you could never hold a candle to her. Stop deluding yourself.

00:01:39Evan leaves without looking back. He saw me as nothing more than a worthless golden-eyed freak. Unworthy of his

00:01:45mark. Unworthy of a place by his side.

00:01:48He assumed I was weak and decile. Too dependent on this pack to ever leave. But his cold indifference killed

00:01:55every last bit of affection in my heart.

00:01:59Luna, Alpha Evan has instructed you to get ready. You are to attend the marking banquet the main mansion tonight.

00:02:05Here is the banquet gown prepared for you.

00:02:07A glimmer of fragile hope stirred in my heart. Perhaps he had only spoken harshly earlier, intending to give me

00:02:12a surprise to finally acknowledge me and bestow his mark upon me.

00:02:16When I stepped into the main hall, champagne roses bloomed everywhere, and a huge banner reading Welcome Pack hung on

00:02:25the wall.

00:02:26Then I saw him. My husband. My mate. My alpha. Holding someone else in his arm. My sister, Selena.

00:02:36Let me make an announcement to everyone here. Today, I will place my exclusive mark upon my one and only

00:02:43mate. Selena.

00:02:45My heart didn't just break. It plunged to a frozen abyss, shattering into a million jagged spards of of ice.

00:02:52If he is marking her, if he is claiming my sister in front of the world, then what am I?

00:03:02The second the words left his lips, I froze on the spot. The roses blooming all through the hall were

00:03:08the very romance I'd never dared to dream of.

00:03:11The grand Welcome Pack banner hanging overhead mocked every foolish hope I'd clung to only moments before.

00:03:17Evan led Selena forward to a stop. Her gown was cut in the exact same style as mine, yet hers

00:03:23was encrust with diamonds, far more lavish by comparison.

00:03:27Evan had humiliated me on purpose, dressing me in an identical design but of far poorer quality.

00:03:32Selena put on a soft, gentle front and spoke to me in fake sweetness.

00:03:36Dear sister, thank you for coming all this way to witness my marking ceremony.

00:03:41I kept my eyes locked on Evan, my voice shaking with held back emotion.

00:03:45Why her? I've sacrificed so much for you. I stayed loyal by your side for three whole years.

00:03:53What good are all your sacrifices? Those eerie eyes of yours repel me, and you can't even bear airs for

00:03:59the pack.

00:03:59You were never half as good as Selena, not then, not now.

00:04:03Evan lifted his hand, brushing it lightly along Selena's neck, then bowed his head to leave his claiming mark on

00:04:09her slowly and tenderly.

00:04:10When the mark was fully set, he slowly raised his eyes, scanning the bustling crowd before his gaze locked firmly

00:04:17on mine.

00:04:18Tears and applause burst out across the hall at once, loud blessings ringing through the air, yet every sound sliced

00:04:24right through my heart like a sharp knife.

00:04:26One of the pack elders stepped up onto the dace. He swept his gaze over the crowd, his tone grave

00:04:30and agmatic.

00:04:31As many of you know, our pack has long kept to seek. Among us lives a she-wolf who carries

00:04:36the rare pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:04:38The question we all wonder is this, who could she be?

00:04:44The pack members broke into quiet murmurs, all guessing who the she-wolf with hidden pure-blood Luna lineage might

00:04:50be.

00:04:50Amid the buzzing whispers, Charlotte, Evan's mother, and the pack's reigning Luna rose slowly from her grand ornate throne atop

00:04:56the dace, carrying herself with unbridled arrogance and authority.

00:04:59There's no need for pointless speculation. It can only be Selena.

00:05:04She boasts exceptional wolf talent and immense innate power.

00:05:07I have always known she is the fated one.

00:05:10I never thought Joseph would act recklessly and force Evan into a marriage with Isabella.

00:05:15A smug smile tugged at Selena's lips. She gave a slight, polite bow.

00:05:20Thank you for your kind praise and recognition, Luna Charlotte.

00:05:23I stepped forward before I could stop myself, holding her gaze straight.

00:05:29What gives you such certainty that it must be Selena?

00:05:33Charlotte let out a mocking laugh, as if I'd told the most absurd joke imaginable.

00:05:36She raked her eyes over me coldly, full of contempt.

00:05:39Could it possibly be you? A freak with unnatural golden eyes, good for nothing.

00:05:45Do you truly think you are worthy of possessing the noble pure-blood Luna lineage?

00:05:50Stop indulging in foolish fantasies.

00:05:52The second her words fell, the whole hall erupted in mocking laughter, thick with scorn and disdain.

00:05:58I turned to Evan, clinging to a faint hope that he would stand up for me, that he would grant

00:06:04me even the smallest bit of fairness.

00:06:06But Evan made no move to defend me at all.

00:06:09His expression turned icy instead, his voice laced with revulsion.

00:06:13You would do best to leave the ceremony of your own accord.

00:06:17Staying here will only bring you further shame and make a public fool of yourself.

00:06:23If you refuse to go, you may tend to the guests in the kitchen and keep to yourself quietly.

00:06:31Evan's cold, dismissive words cut straight through me, sharp and biting to the bone.

00:06:36Every eye in the room lingered only on Selina, bright with anticipation.

00:06:41It was as if everyone already took it for granted, that her so-called Luna divine power would lead Evan's

00:06:47pack to new prosperity.

00:06:49I'd borne endless humiliation for far too long, endured endless scorn and mockery from those around me.

00:06:55All the grief and resentment I'd kept locked inside finally spilled over.

00:06:59The true bearer of the pure-blood Luna Tinergy is not...

00:07:02Selina.

00:07:04It has always been me.

00:07:06The hall burst into mocking laughter once again.

00:07:09Charlotte doubled over, clutching her stomach, mocking me without restraint.

00:07:13Evan and Selina shared a disdainful smirk, dismissing my words as ridiculous ravings.

00:07:19Have you lost your senses?

00:07:23How dare a golden-eyed freak like you claim the pure-blood Luna lineage for yourself?

00:07:31Evan's brows drew tight, his tone sharp and unforgiving.

00:07:35Isabella, are you spouting nonsense out of jealousy now that I've marked Selina?

00:07:40Stop making a fool of yourself.

00:07:42No one in the room believed a word I said.

00:07:45Their jeals pricked my heart like a thousand needles.

00:07:47Staring at their hypocritical, ugly faces, I only felt cold amusement and chose not to explain myself any further.

00:07:55When I fell quiet, the crowd quickly lost interest in me, turning their full attention back to Selina.

00:08:00Evan slipped an arm around her waist, his fingers brushing lightly over the fresh mark on her neck.

00:08:05From this day forward, Selina's Luna divine power will shield our pack and keep us safe and at peace.

00:08:14When she saw I still hadn't moved an inch, the smug look on Selina's face faded a little, replaced by

00:08:21impatience and haughty condescension in her tone.

00:08:24Dear sister, if you know what's best for yourself, gather your things and leave for home at once.

00:08:29Father is waiting for you there.

00:08:31Don't linger here and ruin everyone's celebration.

00:08:34I stood perfectly still, my expression unchanging, merely staring back at her with quiet indifference.

00:08:40I am keeping my oath to Alpha Joseph by remaining here to watch over Evan's pack.

00:08:45I will not leave until my three-year vow is fulfilled.

00:08:49The smile on Selina's face frozen instantly, then twisted into a cold, calculating smirk.

00:08:53She stepped half a step nearer and lowered her voice, letting only me hear her words.

00:08:58A vow? Sister, you're far too naive.

00:09:01Evan's pack has never needed your protection, nor will it ever accept a golden-eyed freak like you.

00:09:06Today, I'll make sure you're driven out of this place for good.

00:09:09The moment she finished speaking, she lurched backwards suddenly, her legs giving way as she crumpled heavily to the floor.

00:09:15She pressed her hands to the corners of her eyes and raised her voice sharply, letting it ring out across

00:09:20the entire hall.

00:09:21Sister, I know you're jealous of me, but you have no right to push me like this.

00:09:26I hadn't shifted a single step from where I stood.

00:09:28The cheering in the hall died away in an instant.

00:09:31Every pair of eyes fixed on us both filled with disdain, accusation, and the cold dislatchment of onlookers ready to

00:09:37watch a spectacle unfold.

00:09:39Evan rushed over at once, lifting Selina gently into his arms and holding her close in a protective embrace.

00:09:43He shot me an icy glare, rage blazing in his eyes.

00:09:48Isabella, you've crossed every line!

00:09:50From this day on, I formally disavow you and cast you out of the pack.

00:09:53You are forbidden from ever stepping foot on our territory for the rest of your life!

00:10:01I stayed rooted to the spot as Evan glared at me like he could kill with his eyes, the air

00:10:06between us turning icy cold.

00:10:08I didn't hurt Selina.

00:10:10She fell on her own.

00:10:12Evan leaned down to strope Selina's back gently, then looked up again, his rage so intense it felt like it

00:10:17could burn me to the ground.

00:10:18Do you really think I'd believe the lies of a golden-eyed freak like you?

00:10:23Selina just got my mark, and she's still weak.

00:10:25How dare you touch her?

00:10:27Charlotte stepped up beside Evan, her eyes dripping with even more disdain, her voice sharp enough to cut.

00:10:33Isabella, you still won't admit what you did.

00:10:36Your excuses only make you more disgusting.

00:10:39A filthy creature like you belong locked up in the dungeon.

00:10:42Evan pulled Selina behind him, unleashing his overwhelming alpha aura in a heartbeat.

00:10:47I see pressure washing over the entire hall.

00:10:50He started the formal mate rejection right there in front of everyone.

00:10:53No trace of regret in his eyes, only pure coldness and contempt.

00:10:57I, Evan, reject you as my mate.

00:10:59I lifted my eyes to meet his gaze, my voice as calm as a frozen lake.

00:11:03I accept your rejection.

00:11:05The mate bond snapped suddenly, a searing, tearing pain shooting through every part of my body.

00:11:09The agony of the bond breaking hit first, and then tears slipped silently down my cheeks.

00:11:13The mate bond that had held us together for three years was breaking apart, fading little by little,

00:11:17each piece throbbing with a dull ache.

00:11:19But none of that pain came close to the cold emptiness in my chest.

00:11:23I curled my fingers tight, nails digging deep into my palms, forcing myself to bear the searing agony.

00:11:28You can't bear airs.

00:11:29The worst shame an alpha could ever face.

00:11:32Selima's nothing like you.

00:11:34She carries the pure-blood Luna Linerage, and only she's worthy of standing by my side,

00:11:39bearing my strongest pups and leading the pack to greater glory.

00:11:45Selina leaned comfortably in Evan's arms, her eyes glinting with a taunting edge,

00:11:51as she stared at my disheveled state.

00:11:54Sister, why are you still standing here?

00:11:57If I were you, I'd hurry up and pack my things to leave.

00:12:00Don't linger here, being a bother.

00:12:03Watching them throw jabs back and forth, their contempt plain as day,

00:12:06my mind wandered back to a memory from long ago, of being rescued.

00:12:10Out on the frozen plains, caught in wind and snow, I lay wounded and gave me a second chance.

00:12:15It was Joseph he told me I carried an extremely rare, pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:12:19Later, on his deathbed, he held my hand tight, his gaze earnest,

00:12:24as he begged me to protect Evan and his pack with everything I had.

00:12:28Joseph, look at what's become of us.

00:12:30For three years, I've guarded your pack faithfully, warding off rogue attacks this entire time.

00:12:36I've even quietly nourished the pack lands with my Luna energy,

00:12:39making them stronger and more thriving with each passing day.

00:12:42Yet now, your own son chases me away.

00:12:44I've seen his true colors clearly.

00:12:46He's never been worth my protection.

00:12:48In that moment, the last bit of gratitude I'd felt for Joseph vanished completely.

00:12:53I'd kept my promise, and my debt was paid in full.

00:12:56Evan, after these three years, I owe you nothing.

00:12:59And I owe your pack nothing either.

00:13:02I only hope you never come to regret this day.

00:13:05Evan let out a scoff of disbelief, looking away from me in disgust, his tone again in dismissal.

00:13:10Regret?

00:13:12Cutting loose a burden like you is the smartest thing I've ever done.

00:13:15Now get out of my sight.

00:13:16Now.

00:13:17The mate bond shattered entirely.

00:13:19Not a single thread of connection left between us.

00:13:21Just then, Evan's brows fronted sharply, his alpha aura tensing up in an instant.

00:13:26Many pack members looked up too, their expressions on edge.

00:13:28A faint yet thick rustling sound drifted from the edge of the manor, low and menacing.

00:13:33It was the sound of rogues closing in, hundreds of miles away and closing fast.

00:13:39Little did they know, with me reject and cast out,

00:13:42My all-encompassing luna protection barrier had vanished, completely.

00:13:47The feral rogues I'd held back, kept at bay for three long years,

00:13:51were now charging straight for their borders in droves.

00:13:54And now that I'm gone, how will a weak alpha, paired with a fake mate who has no true luna

00:14:01power at all,

00:14:02defend this pack against thousands of bloodthirsty rogues?

00:14:08Get to the pack perimeter now and check out that noise.

00:14:11Waste any time, and you'll pay with your lives.

00:14:15Yes, sir.

00:14:18You're scared, Evan.

00:14:20This is what happens when you reject me.

00:14:22The rogues are closing in.

00:14:23Spare me your empty threats and delusional garbage.

00:14:25I formerly banished you.

00:14:27Know your place and leave.

00:14:28My pack hasn't seen a rogue in years.

00:14:30Do you really think you can curse us?

00:14:32You're just spouting nonsense out of spite for being cast aside, trying to stir up trouble.

00:14:36Exactly.

00:14:37Isabella, you can't stand being thrown out, so you want to curse our pack?

00:14:40I see your true colors now.

00:14:42You're cruel to the core.

00:14:43If the rogues really come, you'll be the first one they grab.

00:14:46Let's see who's there to protect you then.

00:14:48Watching their hypocritical, colliding faces, I felt nothing but cold amusement.

00:14:52There was no point in wasting another word on them.

00:14:55I'd kept my promise, settled all scores.

00:14:57No reason to linger in this repulsive place any longer, putting up with their endless mockery and disdain.

00:15:03But the second I took a step to leave, Charlotte rushed over and cut me off.

00:15:06Hold it right there.

00:15:08You're not going anywhere.

00:15:11Isabella, Evans formally marked Selina, and the pack's true Luna is now in her rightful place.

00:15:15It's time you hand over that emblem.

00:15:17This sacred treasure, a symbol of the pack's glory, has no business resting on a freak like you.

00:15:22Exactly.

00:15:23Such a precious relic can't be tainted by someone unworthy.

00:15:26It belongs to me, the one who carries the pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:15:30Lady Luna Charlotte, I can feel the power in this emblem calling to me.

00:15:34Could it be, is the hidden pure-blood Luna lineage inside me finally waking up?

00:15:38Do you really believe that's what's happening, Selina?

00:15:41It has to be true.

00:15:43Only a noble, pure, silver-eyed werewolf is worthy of wearing this emblem.

00:15:47Not like some outscat who's clung to a sacred relic for years, can't even bear an heir, and wastes its

00:15:52power for nothing.

00:16:16Only those with true Luna blood can bear this emblem.

00:16:19A fake like you will never be worthy of it.

00:16:25Isabella, did you do this?

00:16:27Did you use witchcraft to control the aelum and hurt me on purpose?

00:16:30You cruel bitch!

00:16:32You just can't stand to see me happy!

00:16:36Isabella, you've gone too far.

00:16:38Pushing her wasn't enough, so you stooped to dirty tricks with dark witchcraft to hurt her again?

00:16:43How low can you get?

00:16:45His voice held a desperate urgency I'd never heard from him before.

00:16:49His fingers brushed gently around the burning wound on Selina's chest, his touch impossibly tender and careful.

00:16:55The very tenderness I'd stayed by his side for three years, craving, yet never once getting.

00:17:00I'd never sink that low.

00:17:02I'd never degrade myself by using such vile garbage as witchcraft.

00:17:05I finally got it.

00:17:06It wasn't that he couldn't be tender.

00:17:08It was just that his tenderly was never meant for me.

00:17:10Why?

00:17:12You wore this emblem for three years and never had a single problem.

00:17:16Why does it hurt Selina the second she touches it?

00:17:19Could it be...

00:17:21Could you be the real pure-blood Luna after all?

00:17:27Everyone froze, their eyes turning straight to me, filled with shock, doubt, and utter disbelief.

00:17:32No!

00:17:33It can't be!

00:17:35Evan, she only grew used to the emblem's aura from wearing it for so long.

00:17:39She is never the true pure-blood Luna heir.

00:17:42She must have cast witchcraft on the emblem beforehand to hurt me on purpose!

00:17:46Ah!

00:17:48Evan, do not let your mind wander.

00:17:50It is all Isabella's doing.

00:17:52Out of jealousy towards Selina, she schemed in secret, making the emblem harm Selina to

00:17:57confuse everyone's judgment.

00:17:59This outcast has a vicious heart.

00:18:05Do you really think I'd believe some golden-eyed freak is the true Luna heir?

00:18:09Ridiculous.

00:18:09You're just a petty, useless outcast begging for a title you don't deserve.

00:18:13Now get out and don't dare tarnish them Selina with your presence.

00:18:15Stop loitering here and getting in the way.

00:18:17Leave the main packhouse at once and never show your face to us again.

00:18:20Listening to these accurately absurd accusations, I finally let out a cold laugh.

00:18:25There was no warmth in it at all.

00:18:26Carry all the forbearance and heartbreak of these three years.

00:18:33I walked out of the main packhouse step by step.

00:18:36Three years of protection had only earned me betrayal, blame, and banishment.

00:18:41Even the last trace of hope in my heart was completely shattered.

00:18:44I pushed open the door to my home.

00:18:46Live room done was dent.

00:18:48And my father Marcus sat on the sofa with a cigarette between his fingers, undisguised mockery in his eyes.

00:18:54He lifted his gaze to me at the sound of footsteps.

00:18:57What happened?

00:18:58Driven back in disgrace after Evan broke your mate bond?

00:19:01I always knew a freak with strange eyes like you could never hold an alpha's heart, nor deserve the position

00:19:06of Luna.

00:19:06He took a good rag from his cigarette and exhaled the smoke slowly.

00:19:10Fortunately, I have two daughters.

00:19:12Selina is far more promising than you.

00:19:14Now that Evan has marked her, she will soon become the Pax Luna and bring me endless glory.

00:19:19Unlike you, born with those unlucky golden eyes, never able to succeed at anything since childhood.

00:19:24When I was young, Selina was always the only one seen on the Pax training grounds.

00:19:28Father claimed silver eyes stood for pure lineage, and only Selina deserved formal training.

00:19:33I could only hide in the corner, watching them laugh and rejoice.

00:19:36I possessed the very power they valued, yet no one ever taught me how to wield it.

00:19:40With time, everyone came to see me as a powerless, useless nobody.

00:19:43Not even my father had ever truly looked at me with kindness.

00:19:47Marcus stood up and walked before me, looking down at me from above.

00:19:50There was no trace of fatherly affection in his eyes, only cold calculation.

00:19:54Now that Evan has cast you aside, you have no more use left.

00:19:57I raised you all these years.

00:19:59I cannot keep feeding you for nothing.

00:20:01I have sold you to a crude, low-rank werewolf from the black market.

00:20:04Though he is poor and unculturated, he is willing to borrow a large sump to buy you.

00:20:11Father, what are you saying?

00:20:13Sell me?

00:20:14I refuse.

00:20:15Refuse? What right do you have?

00:20:17You cannot even bear children.

00:20:19Not qualified enough to be a breeder.

00:20:21What good are you besides being sold off?

00:20:26Father, selling someone of my lineage will bring you retribution.

00:20:31Retribution?

00:20:31All I know is keeping you is a waste of food.

00:20:33Selling you brings real profit.

00:20:35Where is any retribution?

00:20:36I clenched my fists, my voice shaking with a screed and defiance as I met his gaze directly.

00:20:40Part of the money from selling you to buy Selena top-class gown.

00:20:42Dressed in fine luxury, Evan will love her even more.

00:20:45To buy a dress for Selena.

00:20:46To win her Evan's affection.

00:20:47My own father was willing to cast me straight into hell.

00:20:50He called out toward the door, and two tall pack members stepped inside.

00:20:53Seize her and lock her in a cage.

00:20:54Do not let her escape.

00:20:55Deliver her to the black market at dawn morrow.

00:20:57They grabbed my arms roughly, gripped so tight it felt as though they would crush my bones.

00:21:01I struggled in vain, and shock faded completely into icy despair in my heart.

00:21:05In the store room room, a cold iron cage already waited.

00:21:08They shoved me inside and slammed the lock shut.

00:21:10The faint golden glow in my eyes grew brighter.

00:21:13I held the strength of a pure-blood Luna, yet I was treated as worthless cargo to be sold off.

00:21:18Never given the chance to unleash my power.

00:21:20Dawn had barely broken when footsteps echoed outside.

00:21:23I lifted my head to see Evan standing at the storage room entrance with Selena in his arms.

00:21:26Selena stepped forward to peer through the iron bars, her tone dripping with feigned sympathy and hypocrisy.

00:21:31Sister, I have no choice.

00:21:33It is father's decision.

00:21:34I tried to persuade him, but he would not listen.

00:21:37Just resign yourself to being a slave.

00:21:39I will serve well as the Pax Luna from now on.

00:21:41Solidify my position, and live up to everyone's expectations.

00:21:44Marrying you in the first place was nothing but my father's momentary foolishness.

00:21:48Foolish enough to treasure an outcast like you.

00:21:49Looking back, breaking our mate bond in time was the wisest choice I ever made.

00:21:53With that, he turned to Selena beside him and stroked her hair gently.

00:21:57The very tenderness I had longed for countless times.

00:22:00Yet in this moment, watching the scene unfold, I felt nothing at all.

00:22:04No sorrow, no resentment, only utter emptiness and calm.

00:22:08My three years of devotion had long worn away under his endless cruelty and prejudice.

00:22:12I even found it laughable that I had once held any hope for such a cold, selfish man.

00:22:17Evan lowered his head to brush her hair fondly and was about to speak.

00:22:20A pack member rushed inside in a panic, his voice trembling.

00:22:24Alpha Evan, disaster.

00:22:25Several pack members have been found dead at the territory border,

00:22:28their bodies reeking of strong rogue scent.

00:22:30The tenderness on Evan's face vanished in an instant.

00:22:33His expression turned taut, filled with disbelief.

00:22:35What?

00:22:36Rogues?

00:22:37No rogues have ever come near our borders in three years.

00:22:40How could our people be killed all of a sudden?

00:22:41He frowned deeply, his gaze slowly falling on me as he looked me up and down.

00:22:46A flicker of doubt and disbelief crossed his eyes, his tone tentative.

00:22:50Could it be the reason no rogues drew near all these years was because of you?

00:22:55Was that the real reason my father Joseph insisted you stay by my side?

00:23:00The moment Selina heard this, she clung tightly to Evan's arm, eager to quiet his doubts and turn all blame

00:23:06onto me.

00:23:06Evan, do not entertain such foolish thoughts.

00:23:09How could it ever be her?

00:23:10She is nothing but a useless freak with strange eyes.

00:23:13What great power could she possibly possess?

00:23:16She must hold a grudge after you rejected her and father sold her away.

00:23:20She lured the rogues here on purpose to get revenge and destroy our pack.

00:23:24The doubt in his eyes faded completely, replaced by deeper loathing and rage.

00:23:28You are right.

00:23:29How could I ever believe an outcast holds such great power?

00:23:31It was you who lured the rogues here out of spite, getting our own people killed.

00:23:34His voice turned icy, and killing intact blazed in his eyes.

00:23:38I am heading to deal with the murders at the border now.

00:23:41I will settle this score with you when I return.

00:23:44Selling you to the black market is far too lenient.

00:23:46By rights, a vicious outwrit like you deserves hanging to comfort the souls of the fallen pack members.

00:23:51With that, he did not spare me another glance.

00:23:54Wrapping an arm around Selina's waist, he turned and left quickly, his footsteps fading away, leaving me alone in the

00:23:59cold iron cage.

00:24:00I curled up on the cage floor and stared toward the door.

00:24:03Evan, you will regret this.

00:24:05Before long, two pack members hurried over.

00:24:07They roughly unlocked the cage, grabbed my arms, and dragged me out of the storage room, shoving me into an

00:24:12old transport vehicle.

00:24:14After an endless ride, the vehicle finally came to a stop, and the door swung open, flooding the space with

00:24:19harsh sunlight.

00:24:19I was dragged out and thrown onto the ground.

00:24:22This place was the black market for low-rank werewolf trades, filled with females sold as breeders, outcasts auctioned off

00:24:28as slaves, every face etched with numbness and despair.

00:24:30I had no idea who would buy me next, nor what cruel fate awaited me.

00:24:36Two pack members pressed down hard on my shoulders, forcing me forward unsteadily.

00:24:40Soon they stopped and pushed me before a man.

00:24:42Sebastian, we have brought the girl to you. Marcus instructed us to hand her over personally.

00:24:46The man lifted his eyes slightly, saying nothing at first, only looking me over with a cold, emotionless expression.

00:24:52He wore rough, tattered clothes faded from wear with several tears here and there.

00:24:56Yet his frame was broad and powerful, his shoulders as solid as a wall.

00:24:59His features were sharp and stern, his jawline tight with shovel lining his jaw.

00:25:02A wild, unapproachable aura clung to him, giving him a down-broughten yet dominizing air.

00:25:06Rest assured, she is untouched.

00:25:10Only she failed to bear an heir for Alpha Evan.

00:25:13Be quiet.

00:25:15His voice was deep and horsey with a rough edge, impatience clear in his tone.

00:25:19The pack member flinched in fright, bowed quickly and retreated.

00:25:22Only the two of us remained.

00:25:24He said nothing, simply looking down at me with an unnerving calm.

00:25:27No greed, no judgment, only unyielding dominance.

00:25:31Let go of me!

00:25:32Sebastian glanced down at my reddened wrist, loosening his grip slightly yet still refusing to release me.

00:25:37Save your words. Just come with me.

00:25:41Up close, I saw his eyes held unfathomable depth, hiding a quiet restraint and an innate nobility beneath his rough

00:25:47exterior.

00:25:47Even in ragged clothes covered in dust, his hidden sharp aroma could not be concealed.

00:25:52Somehow, the moment he touched my wrist, the werewolf's spiritual power inside me stirred restlessly.

00:25:58Heat spread through my veins to every corner of my body, making my breath quick up uncontrollably.

00:26:06The wolf inside me roared wildly, its cry echoing clearly and urgently in my heart.

00:26:12I pushed down the swirling confusion and flutter in my chest, and followed him silently forward, uncertain of what lay

00:26:17ahead.

00:26:18The car traveled for a long time before finally stopping outside a plain wooden cottage.

00:26:22It was not large, even simple in design, yet spotlessly clean.

00:26:25Even the weeds in the yard were neatly trimmed.

00:26:27A stark contrast to his rough, hawked around to my side and steadabled me gently.

00:26:31His touch was soft and restrained, nothing like his brusque manner earlier.

00:26:35I looked up at him, my confusion deepening.

00:26:38All that roughness and coldness had truly been nothing but a mask he wore at the black market.

00:26:43Beneath it lay unexpected gentleness, leaving me utterly unable to read him.

00:26:47I followed him inside.

00:26:49The furnishings were simple, only a wooden sofa, a dining table, and two closed doors.

00:26:53Yet everything was immaculate and orderly, the table polished bright enough to see one's reflection.

00:26:58It was clear the place was carefully tended.

00:27:00I stood frozen, thinking to myself, now that he has bought me from the black market, I am his property

00:27:05after all.

00:27:06I ought to learn to wait on him and tend to his needs.

00:27:11Let me take your coat for you.

00:27:12It is covered in dust.

00:27:14No need.

00:27:15The moment my fingertips brushed the hem of his coat, Sebastian stepped back intinctively, evading my touch.

00:27:22I pulled my hand back, a trace of disappointment settling in my heart, unable to understand why he treated me

00:27:28with such cold distance.

00:27:33I... I want to do something for you.

00:27:35I can't idle around all day.

00:27:38Sebastian glanced up at me, his tone cold and distant.

00:27:41There's nothing you need to do.

00:27:43Just stay by my side at night.

00:27:45I've already arranged a maid to look after you.

00:27:47My heart sank immediately.

00:27:48We were bound by blood, faded mates.

00:27:50Yet he only saw me as someone to warm his bed and satisfy his desires.

00:27:54He treated me even worse than Evan ever did.

00:27:56Just then, a slim young girl stepped out of one of the rooms.

00:27:58She had sharp, unrigally eyes and her hair tied in a neat ponytail.

00:28:02The moment she laid eyes on me, her expression turned icy.

00:28:04She frowned openly, looking unimpressed, her voice edged with sarcasm.

00:28:08Brother, is this the girl you tried so hard to buy?

00:28:11She looks plain, skinny, and those golden eyes are a freak.

00:28:16What's so special about her that you'd go all out?

00:28:21Ella, watch your tone.

00:28:23Ella pouted, shot me a sharp glare, said nothing else, then turned and slammed her door shut, clearly resentful.

00:28:33At that moment, Maid Clara walked over with a glass of water.

00:28:37She stopped as soon as she saw me and gave a respectful slight bow.

00:28:41Miss, my name is Clara.

00:28:45I'll be your maid and take care of your daily needs.

00:28:48For the next week, Sebastian left early and returned late.

00:28:52Every night, he would be intimate with me, possessive, yet always keeping an emotional distance.

00:28:59Could it be that in his eyes, I would never be worth genuine care?

00:29:03Never worthy of being his rightful mate?

00:29:07Lately, my werewolf powers had been acting strange.

00:29:11My monthly spiritual cycle was long overdue.

00:29:15Sebastian remained secretive, never letting anyone know where he went during the day.

00:29:20His nightly closeness felt deliberately detached.

00:29:24The huge, wooden house always felt empty without him.

00:29:28Loneliness coiling around me like creeping vines.

00:29:31Restless, I turned on the Pac News channel.

00:29:34One news report made me race felt made me freeze on the spot.

00:29:38Reporter.

00:29:39Marcus of the Blood Moon Tack died mysteriously at home last week.

00:29:43No visible wounds were found on his body, and the cause of death remains unknown.

00:29:46Alpha Evan has ordered a full investigation, with no new leads released so far.

00:29:52I stared at Marcus' photo on screen, tightening my grip on the remote.

00:29:57I felt a twinge of conflict inside, but mostly quiet relief.

00:30:02Father, you brought this on yourself.

00:30:04You sold me off like merchandise-y without a second thought,

00:30:08ignored me completely, and treated Selina and me nothing alike.

00:30:12What happened to you now is your own fault.

00:30:15No one else is to blame.

00:30:17Right after I spoke, a wave of sudden nausea rushed up my throat.

00:30:21I clamped a hand over my mouth and rushed to the bathroom, throwing up, feeling weak all over.

00:30:26Clara happened to bring fruit by and hurried over to steady me.

00:30:31Miss, are you alright?

00:30:32You look unwell.

00:30:34I'll go fetch a healer right away.

00:30:35Please hold on.

00:30:37I nodded weakly.

00:30:39Soon, Clara returned with a werewolf physician.

00:30:42There's no need to worry.

00:30:43You're perfectly healthy physically.

00:30:45The nausea, vomiting, and unstable spiritual energy are all symptoms of pregnancy.

00:30:50I stared at the physician in shock.

00:30:52The woman Evan mocked as Berend, the one my own father dismissed as unfit to bear offspring,

00:30:57was now carrying a child.

00:31:01My mind was in chaos.

00:31:02I tried reaching Sebastian through the werewolf mind link, hoping to tell him quietly I was pregnant.

00:31:08But no matter how I sent my thoughts, there was only silence from his side.

00:31:12No reply at all.

00:31:16I was growing anxious when a messenger from Werewolf Academy arrived at the door, clearly flustered.

00:31:25Is Mr. Sebastian home?

00:31:27Miss Ella got into a fight at the youth training camp and hurt another student.

00:31:31The school is asking for a family member to come sort this out immediately.

00:31:34Sebastian was still nowhere to be found, and the mind link still wouldn't connect.

00:31:38I was the one he'd bought at the black market.

00:31:40With no one else available, I had no choice but to go in his place and settle the dispute at

00:31:45the academy.

00:31:49Werewolf Academy stood on neutral land, independent of any pack,

00:31:53where young werewolves from all clans came to train and study.

00:31:57I drove to the academy alone.

00:32:00In the distance, I saw Ella being lectured by a middle-aged woman whose back was turned to me.

00:32:07Ella and another boy were called into the dean's office.

00:32:10I walked over to speak to the woman.

00:32:12There's no need to embarrass a pup like this.

00:32:14We can talk this over calmly.

00:32:15When I got a clear look at her face, I realized it was Evan's aunt, Martha.

00:32:19Martha looked me up and down slowly, her gaze full of contempt, her tone sharp and cut.

00:32:24Well, look who decided to show up.

00:32:27Kicked out of your pack, sold to the black market by your own father, and now you live like a

00:32:31nobody.

00:32:33How dare you meddle in our family's business.

00:32:39I met her gaze without an ounce of timeliness.

00:32:41My life is none of your business.

00:32:43Even after being sold, I'm restooped as low as you, lambing into your pack power,

00:32:48bullying the weak and picking on a pup in public.

00:32:51Martha's face turned dark, firing back without remorse.

00:32:55Me bullying her?

00:32:57Ella started it.

00:32:59She had attacked my son Jack first.

00:33:01Am I allowed to discipline her?

00:33:04I knew very well Jack had always been arrogant and dominant in Evan's territory.

00:33:09Always picking on the weaker students and never stayed out of trouble.

00:33:13Ella is quiet by nature and never picks fights for no reason.

00:33:17She only lashed out because your son mocked and provoked her first.

00:33:20Left lost for words by my reply, Martha flew into a rage,

00:33:25dropping all pretend of politeness and raising her hand to slap me.

00:33:31I blocked her instinctively.

00:33:33The moment our hands touched, a powerful invisible divine force verged out of me,

00:33:38pinning her rigid in place, unable to move a muscle.

00:33:43I was stunned myself, never expecting to suddenly awaken such power.

00:33:48Deep inside me, my wolf spirit spoke.

00:33:51Mistress, it is your pregnancy.

00:33:53The life growing inside you has fully awakened your dormant ancient lunar bloodline.

00:33:58Your divine power will only grow stronger from here on.

00:34:03I stood there completely dumbfounded.

00:34:09Trapped by my power, Martha stared at me in utter disbelief.

00:34:13What?

00:34:14You've never had formal werewolf training?

00:34:17A discarded outcast sold at the black market.

00:34:21How can...

00:34:23How can you wield such powerful divine magic?

00:34:28Just then, a cold familiar voice came from behind me.

00:34:32I turned slowly to see Evan walking toward me.

00:34:35Selina clung tightly to his side,

00:34:37dressed in an elegant gown with perfect makeup,

00:34:39her eyes glinting with quiet amusement at the scene.

00:34:42Evan fixed me with a cold, stern look.

00:34:45Isabella?

00:34:46You've grown far too bold.

00:34:48How dare you lay hands on my aunt?

00:34:51You've lost all sense of manners and decency.

00:34:55Our mate bond was broken long ago.

00:34:57We have nothing left between us.

00:34:59Martha has always treated me with malice and scorn,

00:35:02and now she bullies a pup unjustly.

00:35:03I owe her no respect whatsoever.

00:35:05Evan scanned my plain, simple clothes from head to toe,

00:35:08his eyes filled with disdain.

00:35:11After being sold to the black market, you've become crude and reckless.

00:35:14Your manners are gone, you're dressed plain and shabby.

00:35:17Not a trace of your old poise remains.

00:35:20Beside him, Selina put on a soft, gentle act,

00:35:23pretending to mediate while secretly stirring up trouble.

00:35:26Evan, don't let this upset you.

00:35:29Sister has fallen so far now.

00:35:31Her judgment and grace are long gone.

00:35:33There's no need to argue with her.

00:35:35Evan frowned, stepping aside to avoid the crowd's gaze,

00:35:38then spoke to me in a low voice.

00:35:39Come with me, I need to talk to you privately.

00:35:42I followed him aside, growing impatient, wondering what he wanted now.

00:35:47Instead of answering right away, he leaned in and breathed in the scent of my hair.

00:35:51I've missed you a lot lately.

00:35:52His eyes lingered greedily on my neck as his hand drifted restlessly to my waist.

00:35:57I turned my head away to avoid him.

00:36:00Isabella, I miss being with you.

00:36:02Being with Selina, it's nothing compared to you.

00:36:05He almost sounded wronged, as if I owed him something.

00:36:07Then his tone turned cold as he mentioned the man who'd bought me,

00:36:10seething with jealousy at the thought of me belonging to a rough nobody.

00:36:13He stepped closer and lowered his voice.

00:36:14Come back and be my mistress.

00:36:15I'll give you mansions, jewels, silk gowns.

00:36:18Everything Selina has, you'll have.

00:36:20And more.

00:36:21I looked at his desperate, prideful act and suddenly laughed.

00:36:26Even if he had nothing at all, he's still better than you.

00:36:30That one sentence made his face burn red, as if I'd slapped him in public.

00:36:35I'd struck his fragile ego, thin as eggshell.

00:36:38Just then, Selina walked over from a distance,

00:36:41eyeing us suspiciously and asking what we were talking about.

00:36:45I shook my head and said nothing, but as several werewolves walked past,

00:36:48I deliberately raised my voice.

00:36:50There's something everyone should know.

00:36:51Evan is infertile.

00:36:57Evan spun around, glaring at me sharply.

00:37:00His wolf pupil slitted with rage and embarrassment, his face draining of color.

00:37:03The passing werewolves stopped and watched, whispering and slurkering,

00:37:07their mocking eyes burning into Evan.

00:37:09Selina froze on the spot, her smile fading instantly.

00:37:13She stared at Evan in shock and doubt, studying his flustered expression closely.

00:37:18I stayed calm and composed, gently placing one hand over my stomach,

00:37:23my tone steady and unyielding.

00:37:25I'm pregnant.

00:37:27You're delirious.

00:37:29There's no way you could be pregnant.

00:37:31I looked on indifferently, no longer bothering to explain myself.

00:37:35Believe it or not,

00:37:37I don't owe anyone an explanation.

00:37:39Martha stepped forward at once with a sneer.

00:37:41Pregnant or not,

00:37:42it's still just some low-class, werewolf's bastard child.

00:37:48Selina quickly agreed,

00:37:49her tone sharp and full of scorn.

00:37:52Exactly.

00:37:53Nothing to be proud of.

00:37:55She reeks of common werewolf aura.

00:37:59I leaned forward slightly,

00:38:01breathing in subtly when near the three of them,

00:38:03my voice thick with mockery and certainty.

00:38:05No matter my place now,

00:38:07I'm still better than the three of you.

00:38:09You all reek of rogue stench.

00:38:10Your pack is already overrun by rogue raids,

00:38:13barely holding itself together.

00:38:15Yet you still come to this neutral school

00:38:17to bully others and stir up trouble.

00:38:19My words hit Evan right where it hurt.

00:38:22I'd seen pack news long before now,

00:38:26reporting his territory plagued by constant rogue attacks,

00:38:29leaving him stressed and sleepless.

00:38:33Evan paled instantly,

00:38:35his anger mixing with panic

00:38:36as he snapped back harshly.

00:38:40That's a lie!

00:38:42Don't spread rumors!

00:38:44My pack is perfectly safe.

00:38:51And no rogue troubles at all.

00:38:55Martha and Selina also paled,

00:38:57avoiding eye contact nervously,

00:38:59subtly suppressing their era

00:39:00to hide the rogue scent clinging to them.

00:39:02The onlooking werewolves began murmuring,

00:39:04looking at the three with obvious suspicion.

00:39:06Just then,

00:39:06the Academy's Elder Dean

00:39:07hurried over with a stern expression,

00:39:09raising a hand to quiet the crowd.

00:39:11That's enough!

00:39:12This is neutral Academy ground.

00:39:14No quarreling or disruption

00:39:15of student training will be tolerated.

00:39:18Ella and Jack were led out by school staff.

00:39:20Jack had faint scratch marks on his face.

00:39:23Ella kept her head down,

00:39:25her stubborn spirit clear as ever.

00:39:27I turned to Ella,

00:39:28softening my tone as I asked gently,

00:39:31Ella,

00:39:31what really made you fight Jack?

00:39:35I looked at Ella,

00:39:37her eyes red yet still forcing herself to stay strong,

00:39:40stubborn by nature.

00:39:41She rarely showed vulnerability,

00:39:44but now she could not hide her hurt,

00:39:46biting her lip to hold back her tears.

00:39:47Ella lifted her head sharply,

00:39:49her voice trembling yet firm.

00:39:52He started it first!

00:39:55Jack mocked me in front of everyone,

00:39:57said I didn't belong in the training camp,

00:39:59and called Brother Sebastian a nobody with no real power!

00:40:03Jack looked utterly unconvinced

00:40:05and fired back at once.

00:40:09It's the truth.

00:40:12I didn't make any of it up.

00:40:14Ella grew emotional,

00:40:15raising her voice.

00:40:16He even tugged at my wolf fur

00:40:18and shoved me against the wall.

00:40:20He pointed right at my face

00:40:22and called Sister a golden-eyed freak

00:40:24who couldn't bear pups,

00:40:25said you deserve being sold away!

00:40:28I held back again and again,

00:40:30but he just kept pushing me.

00:40:32I had no choice but to fight back!

00:40:34I stood frozen,

00:40:36my heart aching with emotion.

00:40:37I'd always thought I was nothing more

00:40:38than someone Sebastian had bought,

00:40:40that there was always a distance

00:40:41between Ella and me,

00:40:42that she'd kept her cold reserve towards me.

00:40:44I never imagined she would stand up for me

00:40:46so fiercely when others slandered

00:40:47and looked down on me.

00:40:48My gaze fell on her arms,

00:40:51marked with faint scratch wounds.

00:40:53A few tufts of wolf fur

00:40:55had been torn from her neck,

00:40:56and there was a faint bruise

00:40:58at the corner of her mouth.

00:41:00She looked worn

00:41:01and utterly heartbreaking.

00:41:05In that moment,

00:41:06memories of being wronged,

00:41:08mocked, and bullied

00:41:08relentlessly crashed over me

00:41:10like a tide.

00:41:10Shunned as a freak by Evans Pack,

00:41:12humiliated publicly by Selina,

00:41:14sold off like merchandise

00:41:14by my own father,

00:41:15branded barren by everyone around me,

00:41:17all the suppressed grief

00:41:18and resentment welled up inside,

00:41:19flaring into a fierce urge

00:41:20to protect Ella.

00:41:21I reached out

00:41:22and gently stroked her hair,

00:41:24calming the storm of emotion

00:41:25in my chest,

00:41:26then turned to face Jack,

00:41:28Martha,

00:41:29and the rest of them.

00:41:31Jack insulted others openly

00:41:33and resorted to violence first.

00:41:36Martha turns a blind eye

00:41:38to her son's wrongnings

00:41:39and enables his cruelty.

00:41:41Your own pack

00:41:42is overrun by rogues

00:41:43and barely holding on,

00:41:45yet you still find time

00:41:46to bully a pup

00:41:47and insult others.

00:41:49Isn't that both

00:41:50ridiculous and pitiful?

00:41:52The moment my words landed,

00:41:53Martha flew into a rage.

00:41:55She stepped forward abruptly,

00:41:56japping a finger straight at me

00:41:57and snapping sharply.

00:41:58Who do you think you are?

00:41:59How dare you judge us?

00:42:01My birth clan

00:42:02is the blood moon pack,

00:42:03my in-law's the silver flang pack.

00:42:05Say another word

00:42:06and I'll have

00:42:07these two great packs

00:42:09pressure this academy.

00:42:10Not only will

00:42:11Ella be severely punished,

00:42:13I'll make you apologize

00:42:15to us mother and son

00:42:16in front of everyone.

00:42:19The elder in charge

00:42:20of the training camp

00:42:21hurried over,

00:42:22followed by several guards,

00:42:23his area commanding

00:42:24and unhealed.

00:42:24Silence, all of you.

00:42:25Jack provoked,

00:42:26insulted,

00:42:26and attacked first.

00:42:27He must apologize

00:42:28sincerely to Ella

00:42:29and Isabella.

00:42:29Martha will no longer

00:42:30be a ladle in student affairs

00:42:31for turning a blind eye

00:42:32to right and wrong

00:42:32and abusing her status.

00:42:33Anyone else who stirs up trouble

00:42:35will be expelled

00:42:35from the academy permanently,

00:42:37never to be admitted again.

00:42:38He then turned to me,

00:42:39his tone softening noticeably.

00:42:41Lyman Queen,

00:42:42rest assured,

00:42:43this is neutral ground.

00:42:45No one shall harm you

00:42:46or Ella.

00:42:47You need not fear

00:42:48for the one watching over you

00:42:49from the shadows.

00:42:50He will always keep you safe.

00:42:55I stared at him

00:42:56in utter disbelief.

00:42:58Elder,

00:42:59you must have mistaken me

00:43:01for someone else.

00:43:02I'm no Lyman Queen.

00:43:03I'm just just an ordinary werewolf.

00:43:05I could never deserve

00:43:06such a title.

00:43:07The elder shook his head faintly,

00:43:09his eyes deep and cryptic,

00:43:11gesturing for me

00:43:12not to press further.

00:43:13This is not the time

00:43:13to speak of it.

00:43:14The matter runs far deeper

00:43:15than you know.

00:43:16When the time comes,

00:43:17all will be revealed.

00:43:20For now,

00:43:21let us resolve

00:43:21what lies before us.

00:43:27At that,

00:43:28Evan, Martha,

00:43:28and Selina

00:43:29burst out in mocking laughter.

00:43:31Martha even clutched

00:43:32her stomach dramatically,

00:43:34sneering openly

00:43:35as she pointed at me.

00:43:37Elder,

00:43:37have you lost your wits?

00:43:39Or has this freak

00:43:40bewitched you somehow?

00:43:42Her?

00:43:42A lowly werewolf

00:43:44sold at the black market

00:43:45who can't even protect herself?

00:43:46The legendary Lycan Queen?

00:43:55What a ridiculous joke!

00:43:58Selina leaned close to Evan,

00:44:00her eyes filled with contempt.

00:44:01She raised her voice deliberately,

00:44:03making sure every watching

00:44:04werewolf could hear clearly.

00:44:06Exactly, Elder.

00:44:07The Lycan Queen

00:44:08is a noble existence

00:44:09who rules over all wolf clans.

00:44:10She's nothing but an outcast

00:44:12abandoned by her pack,

00:44:13mocked for being unable

00:44:14to bear young.

00:44:17How can you place

00:44:18such an exalt title

00:44:19on someone like her?

00:44:21The Elder's expression

00:44:22darkened at once,

00:44:23his imposing aura

00:44:24sweeping over the square.

00:44:25His eyes turned cold

00:44:27and sharp as he thundered,

00:44:29silencing every

00:44:29onlooker instantly.

00:44:34Hold your tongues!

00:44:35This neutral training camp

00:44:37is no place

00:44:37for your reckless arrogance.

00:44:39Speak ill of Isabella

00:44:40one more time,

00:44:41mock her again,

00:44:42and I will have

00:44:42all of you detained.

00:44:44Strip part of your wolf power,

00:44:45expel you from the camp,

00:44:46and bar you from ever returning.

00:44:48Martha tried to argue back,

00:44:50but froze under

00:44:51the Elder's icy stare.

00:44:54The words died

00:44:55in her throat.

00:44:56Furious as she was,

00:44:58she dared not act out

00:44:59any further.

00:45:00The Elder turned to Jack,

00:45:01who still looked

00:45:02stubbornly defiant.

00:45:04Jack,

00:45:04apologize to Ella

00:45:06and Isabella at once.

00:45:07Speak with genuine remorse

00:45:08and admit your faults.

00:45:09Refuse,

00:45:10and you will be expelled today.

00:45:12I will notify your pack,

00:45:13and you will never be allowed

00:45:14entry into any

00:45:15werewolf training camp again.

00:45:16Jack clenched his fists tightly,

00:45:19his face burninged

00:45:20with stubbornness

00:45:20and resentment.

00:45:21He glared fiercely at Ella,

00:45:23yet trembled under

00:45:24the Elder's overwhelming pressure,

00:45:26and finally lowered his head.

00:45:31I'm sorry.

00:45:35I shouldn't have called you

00:45:37a half-blood stray,

00:45:38insulted your brother,

00:45:40tugged your wolf fur,

00:45:41or pushed you against the wall.

00:45:43I apologize.

00:45:46Ella pressed her lips together

00:45:47and said nothing,

00:45:48only nodded faintly.

00:45:50The hurt in her eyes

00:45:51easing a little.

00:45:54Let's go.

00:45:56I'll settle this score

00:45:57with you two,

00:45:58sooner or later.

00:45:59Martha shook with rage.

00:46:00She shot a venomous glare

00:46:01at me and Ella,

00:46:02then grabbed Jack's arm roughly,

00:46:04her tone seeking with malice.

00:46:06Evan looked at me

00:46:06with complicated eyes,

00:46:07resentment,

00:46:08confusion,

00:46:08and a flicker

00:46:09of hidden unease.

00:46:10He shot the Elder

00:46:10a long, wary glance,

00:46:11yet dared not say another word.

00:46:13He turned and left

00:46:13the camp square

00:46:14with Martha and Selina,

00:46:15looking both furious

00:46:16and defeated.

00:46:16Before leaving,

00:46:17Selina glanced back at me

00:46:18with a sharp, hateful stare.

00:46:22I watched them leave,

00:46:23then turned back

00:46:24to the Elder,

00:46:25still utterly confused,

00:46:27my tone urgent.

00:46:29Elder,

00:46:30why do you keep calling me

00:46:31Lycan Queen?

00:46:32I'm not the person

00:46:33you think I am.

00:46:34My mate is only

00:46:35an ordinary werewolf.

00:46:37How could I ever bear

00:46:38such a title?

00:46:39The Elder shook his head slowly,

00:46:41his gaze deep

00:46:41with untold secrets.

00:46:43He motioned for me

00:46:44to calm myself,

00:46:45his tone cryptic

00:46:46yet laced with quiet warmth.

00:46:47This matter is

00:46:48of great consequence

00:46:49and touches countless

00:46:50threads of fate.

00:46:51I cannot reveal

00:46:51a single detail yet.

00:46:53Only remember this.

00:46:55Someone has been

00:46:55protecting you

00:46:56in the shadows.

00:46:57No matter what dangers

00:46:58lie ahead,

00:46:59you have nothing to fear.

00:47:00I turned to Ella beside me,

00:47:02wondering if she knew

00:47:03anything of this.

00:47:05Ella,

00:47:06does any of this

00:47:06make sense to you?

00:47:07Why would the Elder

00:47:08call me that?

00:47:09Ella smiled innocently

00:47:11and shook her head,

00:47:12then skipped off

00:47:12into the distance,

00:47:13her voice light and flaky.

00:47:14No idea, sister.

00:47:15You'll have to figure it out

00:47:16yourself!

00:47:17Back home,

00:47:18I pushed open the door

00:47:19to find Sebastian

00:47:20sitting quietly

00:47:20on the living room sofa,

00:47:21holding a Wolf Clan

00:47:22medicinal herb

00:47:23between his fingers,

00:47:24waiting for us.

00:47:24You're back.

00:47:26Did anything else

00:47:27happen at the camp?

00:47:29Has Ella been wronged again?

00:47:30Ella shook her head

00:47:31and walked over

00:47:31to sit beside him,

00:47:33leaning softly

00:47:33against his arm.

00:47:36I'm fine,

00:47:37Brother Sebastian.

00:47:38The Elder stood up for us

00:47:39and Jack apologized.

00:47:41I stepped in front

00:47:42of Sebastian,

00:47:43my expression

00:47:44earnest and searching,

00:47:46unable to hold back

00:47:47the questions

00:47:47weighing on my mind

00:47:48any longer.

00:47:52Sebastian,

00:47:52I need to ask you something.

00:47:53Today at the training camp,

00:47:55the Elder called me

00:47:55like on Queen

00:47:56and said someone

00:47:56has been guarding me secretly.

00:47:58Do you know

00:47:58what this is all about?

00:47:59And you,

00:48:00what is your true identity?

00:48:01You've always hidden

00:48:02the truth from me

00:48:03on purpose.

00:48:04Sebastian's fingers stilled.

00:48:05He lifted his eyes

00:48:06to meet mine,

00:48:07his gaze flickering

00:48:08as he deliberately

00:48:08avoided my direct stare.

00:48:11Bella,

00:48:12some things aren't

00:48:12meant to be told yet.

00:48:14I can promise you this.

00:48:16I will never harm you

00:48:17or Ellie

00:48:18and I will always

00:48:19protect you.

00:48:20All you need to do

00:48:21is trust me.

00:48:22I watched him

00:48:23I watched him evade

00:48:23my gaze,

00:48:24my confusion

00:48:25deepening by the second.

00:48:26A quiet hurt

00:48:27settled in my heart.

00:48:28The Elder wouldn't speak

00:48:29and Sebastian

00:48:30chose to hide the truth too.

00:48:32It felt as if

00:48:33everyone held secrets

00:48:34about me,

00:48:35leaving me in the dark

00:48:36like a fool.

00:48:36I fell silent for a moment,

00:48:38my hand unconsciously

00:48:39drifting to my stomach,

00:48:40where a tiny life

00:48:41was growing,

00:48:42the only thing

00:48:43I clung to now.

00:48:44I lifted my eyes to him,

00:48:46my expression solemn.

00:48:48Sebastian,

00:48:49I'm pregnant.

00:48:50Sebastian froze visibly.

00:48:52He set down the herb slowly,

00:48:54a faint soft smile

00:48:55crossing his face,

00:48:56the corners of his mouth

00:48:58lifting.

00:48:59He was clearly happy,

00:49:01yet his joy

00:49:02was far too restrained,

00:49:03too calm.

00:49:05There was none

00:49:05of the wild delight

00:49:06I'd hoped for,

00:49:07no flurry of worried questions,

00:49:09no tender touch.

00:49:11The glimmer of joy

00:49:12in his eyes

00:49:13faded almost at once,

00:49:14settling back

00:49:15into his usual

00:49:15quiet reserve.

00:49:18My heart sank heavily

00:49:20in that instant.

00:49:21Disappointment and uneases

00:49:22washed over me

00:49:23like a cold tide,

00:49:25swallowing me whole.

00:49:26I couldn't help but wonder,

00:49:28did he not want

00:49:29this pup at all?

00:49:30Was I,

00:49:31and the life inside me,

00:49:32nothing more

00:49:33than a burden to him?

00:49:34I thought of being sold

00:49:35by my own father,

00:49:36abandoned by Evan.

00:49:38Of all the uncertainty

00:49:39I'd endured,

00:49:40my unease grew stronger

00:49:41until my fingers

00:49:42began to tremble faintly.

00:49:43I dared not look Sebastian

00:49:45in the eye,

00:49:46afraid of catching

00:49:46even a trace of distaste

00:49:48or impatience

00:49:48in his expression.

00:49:50I pushed down the ache

00:49:51and hurt in my chest,

00:49:52forcing a faint,

00:49:53calm smile and nodding.

00:49:55I understand.

00:49:56You don't have to feel pressured.

00:49:58Night fell,

00:49:58and silence settled

00:49:59over everything.

00:50:00Moonlight spilled

00:50:01through the window

00:50:01onto the floor.

00:50:02I sat alone

00:50:03on the edge of the bed,

00:50:04gently resting a hand

00:50:05over my stomach.

00:50:06The weight of disappointment

00:50:07and unease grew heavier.

00:50:09More and more,

00:50:10I felt as though

00:50:11both I and my pup

00:50:12were nothing but a burden

00:50:13to Sebastian.

00:50:14Staying here

00:50:14would only be an annoyance,

00:50:16only wear him down further.

00:50:18Better to leave now.

00:50:19Go somewhere no one knows me.

00:50:21Give birth quietly.

00:50:23Raise my pup alone.

00:50:25And never be a chain

00:50:27holding anyone back again.

00:50:28With my mind made up,

00:50:30I rose quietly,

00:50:31moving without a sound.

00:50:32I opened my luggage

00:50:33and began packing silently.

00:50:34A few simple clothes,

00:50:36the wolf-tooth pendant

00:50:37Sebastian had given me

00:50:38Longo to ward off danger,

00:50:39some dried rations

00:50:40I'd saved.

00:50:41I folded everything carefully

00:50:42into a small bundle.

00:50:44Once packed,

00:50:45I walked to Ella's bedside

00:50:46and pressed a soft kiss

00:50:47to her forehead,

00:50:48my heart heavy with sorrow

00:50:49yet firm with resolve.

00:50:50Ella, I'm sorry.

00:50:52Sister can't stay with you anymore.

00:50:53Stay safe with brother Sebastian

00:50:55and getting hurt

00:50:55the way I did.

00:50:56I wiped the tears

00:50:57from my eyes,

00:50:58slung the bundle

00:50:58over my shoulder,

00:50:59and closed the door softly.

00:51:02Under the cover

00:51:02of deep night,

00:51:04I stepped slowly

00:51:05out of Sebastian's home.

00:51:09I walked into the dark forest

00:51:10with my bundle.

00:51:11I'd barely taken a few steps

00:51:12when hurried footsteps

00:51:13sounded behind me.

00:51:14A shadow darted forward

00:51:16in pursuit,

00:51:16and his familiar scent

00:51:18wrapped around me

00:51:18in an instant.

00:51:19It was Sebastian.

00:51:20Bella, where are you going?

00:51:22It's the middle of the night,

00:51:24carrying a bundle.

00:51:25Are you leaving me?

00:51:26I pulled my hand away sharply,

00:51:28my eyes red-brimmed,

00:51:30tone stubborn and hurt,

00:51:32forcing myself to sound cold.

00:51:35Where I go is none

00:51:36of your business.

00:51:38Sebastian,

00:51:40don't trouble yourself

00:51:41over me,

00:51:42and don't feel ob-gayed.

00:51:44How can it not be my business?

00:51:47Bella, you are my mate.

00:51:49The pup you carry

00:51:50is my flesh and blood.

00:51:52Wherever you go,

00:51:53I go.

00:51:55How can you say

00:51:55this has nothing to do with me?

00:51:57His words shattered

00:51:58every wall I've put up.

00:51:59Long-suppressed grief

00:52:00and hurt burst free.

00:52:01I pound against his chest,

00:52:03struggling to feel

00:52:03to break away.

00:52:04Mate?

00:52:05Do you still remember

00:52:06I'm your mate?

00:52:07Sebastian, look at yourself.

00:52:09I told you I was pregnant

00:52:10and this is how you react.

00:52:12No joy,

00:52:13no concern,

00:52:14not a single sincere word of care.

00:52:15You don't care about this pup at all

00:52:17and you've never truly cared about me.

00:52:19I stopped struggling

00:52:20and stared straight into his eyes,

00:52:21tears streaming down my cheeks,

00:52:23my tone laced with self-mockery

00:52:25and despair,

00:52:26every word cutting deep into us both.

00:52:28You were just a buyer

00:52:29at the black market

00:52:30and I was nothing more

00:52:31than a slave you purchased.

00:52:33Your kindness,

00:52:34your gentleness,

00:52:36only fleeting interest,

00:52:37only because I still have use to you.

00:52:40Isn't that the truth?

00:52:41You've never truly cared about me.

00:52:43Sebastian stuffened completely,

00:52:45holding me tighter.

00:52:47He gripped my shoulders,

00:52:48forcing me to meet his glaze.

00:52:51Bella, don't say that.

00:52:52I have never seen you as a slave,

00:52:54not for a single moment.

00:52:55I bought you for a reason.

00:52:59The forest seemed to darken all at once.

00:53:02A blood-red moon rose slowly over the horizon,

00:53:05its crimson glow spilling across the entire woods.

00:53:08Sebastian lifted his head

00:53:10and stared quietly at the blood moon,

00:53:12his expression solemn and grave.

00:53:14The wolf clan has an ancient fate law.

00:53:17Only when the blood moon rises

00:53:18will the royal seal be fully broken.

00:53:21No more need for pretense,

00:53:22no more hiding.

00:53:24The time has finally come.

00:53:26I stared at the eerie crimson moon,

00:53:28my heart tightening inexplicably,

00:53:31lost and stunned,

00:53:32waiting for him to go on.

00:53:35I was never an ordinary low-rank werewolf.

00:53:37I am the rightful heir

00:53:39to the Lykon throne.

00:53:41My elder brother plotted against me

00:53:43in secret to seize power.

00:53:45To survive,

00:53:46I had to hide my royal identity,

00:53:48suppress my true strength,

00:53:50lie low and bide my time.

00:53:52Evading my enemies

00:53:53while gathering power

00:53:54to take back what was mine.

00:53:55His tone softened,

00:53:57laced with gentle remembrance.

00:53:59I've known you for a very long time.

00:54:01Years ago,

00:54:02on the frozen ice plains,

00:54:03I saw you ignoring the bitter cold

00:54:04to feed stray wolfpubs gently.

00:54:06In that moment,

00:54:07I was already drawn to you.

00:54:08I've watched over you silently ever since,

00:54:10following every twist of your fate.

00:54:11His voice turned tender with sorrow

00:54:13as he spoke of the past.

00:54:15When I learned Evan had cast you aside cruelly,

00:54:17and your own father sold you off

00:54:19like nothing more than a breeder,

00:54:21I acted at once

00:54:22and bought you from Marcus.

00:54:23This was never a cold transaction.

00:54:26It was protection I planned long ago.

00:54:28A chance to save you.

00:54:32Sebastian let out a quiet sigh,

00:54:34his eyes filled with lingering helplessness and restraint.

00:54:36I kept my distance and acted cold towards you before

00:54:38because I'd long sensed you are a born pureblood Luna.

00:54:41Back then I was trapped in royal turmoil,

00:54:43surrounded by enemies,

00:54:43barely able to protect myself.

00:54:45I fear dragging you into danger,

00:54:47and I refuse to let someone as noble and pure as you

00:54:49stay hidden beside a fallen, disguised me.

00:54:51He lifted his gaze to the blood moon

00:54:53hanging high in the sky,

00:54:55his aura steady and regal,

00:54:57his expression calm with certainty.

00:55:00Now the blood moon has risen,

00:55:01fate has fallen into place.

00:55:02I have crushed my brother's schemes,

00:55:04quelled the internal turtle,

00:55:05and reclaimed my rightful throne at last.

00:55:06I have officially ascended as the new Lycan king.

00:55:08He reached out and took my hand gently,

00:55:10his palm warm and firm,

00:55:12his gaze locked steadily on mine,

00:55:15sincere and earnest.

00:55:16Isabella, of course I care about our child.

00:55:18I have cared all along.

00:55:19I've waited far too long for this day.

00:55:20Once I could only guard you from the shadows.

00:55:22Now I hold the throne,

00:55:23and I have the power to shield you and our pup

00:55:24for a lifetime in peace.

00:55:25I wish to mark you properly,

00:55:26claim you as my one and only mate,

00:55:28and crown you queen of the Lycan clan.

00:55:29From this day forward,

00:55:30no one will ever dare hurt you again.

00:55:31I stared at the raw, unhovered affection

00:55:33and resolve in his eyes.

00:55:34All the grief, unease,

00:55:35and doubt I'd carried these days

00:55:36melted away in an instant.

00:55:38Emotion welled up inside me,

00:55:39and warm tears slipped slowly down my cheeks.

00:55:41I looked at him and nodded softly,

00:55:43knowing he meant to mark me for life.

00:55:46Night hung thick and dark.

00:55:48A blood-red moon hung high over the sky,

00:55:49bathing the entire forest in a faint crimson glow.

00:55:52Isabella waited eagerly for Sebastian

00:55:54to claim her mark,

00:55:55her eyes sparkling with quiet excitement

00:55:57and anticipation.

00:55:57Are you ready?

00:55:58This mark will bind you to me completely as my mate,

00:56:01and awaken the full strength

00:56:01of your pure-blood Luna lineage.

00:56:03Yes.

00:56:04Sebastian rested his hands gently

00:56:06on Isabella's shoulders,

00:56:07and pressed his warm lips to hers

00:56:09to leave his mark.

00:56:10There was a faint twinge of pain,

00:56:11yet Isabella did not flinch for a moment.

00:56:14Her gaze filled only with longing.

00:56:15The instant the mark settled

00:56:17Bastion's royal times

00:56:18with Isabella's pure-blood Luna energy,

00:56:20golden light swirled around them both.

00:56:22Her golden eyelashes blazing brighter than ever,

00:56:25as her ancient pure-blood era

00:56:26fully awakened within her.

00:56:29From this day on,

00:56:30I will never let anyone hurt you,

00:56:32never let you shed another tear.

00:56:33This mark is my vow to you.

00:56:35I trust you.

00:56:39Hidden in the shadows,

00:56:40Selina watched every moment unfold.

00:56:42She stared at their joined hands,

00:56:44consumed by bitter resentment.

00:56:46A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

00:56:48She quietly pulled out her communicator,

00:56:50and reached out to

00:56:50Sebastian's elder brother William.

00:56:52Why should they have everything?

00:56:53I will take back what belongs to me,

00:56:55and make them pay for standing in my way.

00:56:57Sebastian looked down at Isabella beside him,

00:57:00brushing the soft smile from her lips

00:57:01with tender reverence.

00:57:03He knew he no longer needed to hide his identity.

00:57:05At last, he could protect her openly,

00:57:07without fear or pretense.

00:57:09I will protect you,

00:57:09protect our child,

00:57:11and cherish every part of who you are.

00:57:12No one will ever make you suffer again.

00:57:17Sebastian began preparing

00:57:18for the Lycan royal coronation ceremony.

00:57:20On that day,

00:57:21he would publicly reveal his true identity

00:57:22as the rightful royal heir,

00:57:24be officially crowned Lycan king,

00:57:25and formally proclaim Isabella

00:57:27the legitimate Lycan queen,

00:57:28honored and revered by all werewolf claims.

00:57:31Meanwhile,

00:57:32life grew increasingly bleak

00:57:33for Evan's blood moon pack.

00:57:35Stripped of Isabella's

00:57:36luna protection barrier,

00:57:37rogue packs began raiding

00:57:38their borders relentlessly,

00:57:39casualties mounted,

00:57:40their territory fell into ruin,

00:57:42and the entire clan

00:57:43twiddered on the brink of collapse.

00:57:44Evan,

00:57:45if we carry on like this,

00:57:47the rogues will swallow

00:57:47our pack entirely.

00:57:50The new Lycan king's coronation

00:57:52is soon,

00:57:52and word spreads

00:57:53his power is unfathomable.

00:57:56If we can gain his favor,

00:57:58we'll never fear the rogues again.

00:57:59We weren't sent an invitation.

00:58:00This king has always lived in secrecy,

00:58:02cold and unpredictable.

00:58:03If we sneak in disguise

00:58:04and get caught,

00:58:05we'll only humiliate ourselves.

00:58:06Do we still care about pride?

00:58:07Saving our pack

00:58:08is all that matters.

00:58:09We'll draw as common

00:58:10minor clan guests

00:58:10and blend into the crowd.

00:58:11Once we reach the royal dask,

00:58:13we'll find a chance

00:58:13to enratiate our son.

00:58:15Evan stared at his ravaged territory

00:58:16and his fading clan members.

00:58:18Overcome by desperation

00:58:19and ambition,

00:58:20he finally agreed to sneak

00:58:21into the coronation

00:58:21beside Martha,

00:58:22set on curing favor

00:58:23with the new Lycan king

00:58:24to secure his pack's survival.

00:58:26Upon hearing news

00:58:27of the ceremony,

00:58:28Selina chose not to go

00:58:29with Evan and Martha.

00:58:30She waited alone for William,

00:58:33Sebastian's elder brother,

00:58:34whom she had secretly allied with.

00:58:36Sebastian thinks he can claim

00:58:38the throne and reign in peace.

00:58:41William has already promised me

00:58:43he will seize power

00:58:44at the coronation.

00:58:45Once William overtows Sebastian

00:58:47and takes the crown,

00:58:49I will be his one and only queen,

00:58:52the true Lycan queen.

00:58:54I'll never again live

00:58:56in Isabella's shadow.

00:58:57She drowned herself

00:58:58in ambitious fantasies,

00:59:00waiting foolishly

00:59:01for William to appear.

00:59:02Completely unaware,

00:59:03she was nothing more than a pawn

00:59:04he had long been using.

00:59:07The Lycan holy mountain

00:59:09blazed with coronation splendor.

00:59:11Golden light spilled over the peaks.

00:59:13Royal guards standing tall

00:59:14with imposing presence.

00:59:16Powerful werewolf leaders

00:59:17from every clan

00:59:17filed in to take their seats.

00:59:19The entire sacred grounds

00:59:20steeped in solemn grandeur.

00:59:21Evan and Martha

00:59:22dressed in plain outsider robes,

00:59:24blending silently into the guest crowd

00:59:25and slipping into the ceremony grounds.

00:59:27They gazed up

00:59:27at the luxurious royal days,

00:59:29watching the dignified clan leaders

00:59:30around them,

00:59:31envy clear in their eyes.

00:59:32Both resolved to seize any chance

00:59:34to win the new Lycan king's favor

00:59:35and save their family.

00:59:36Their gaze drifted casually

00:59:38across the gathering,

00:59:39and they froze instantly,

00:59:40spotting Isabella and Sebastian

00:59:41standing side by side.

00:59:43Disdain and contempt

00:59:44settled over their faces at once.

00:59:46Look!

00:59:47Is that Isabella?

00:59:48How dare she intrude

00:59:50on a royal coronation!

00:59:51They exchanged a glance,

00:59:53both looking down on the pair.

00:59:54Evan's tone turned sharp

00:59:55with quiet mockery.

00:59:56And beside her,

00:59:57that's the rough,

00:59:59low-class werewolf

01:00:00who bought her at the black market.

01:00:01A nobody with no standing.

01:00:04How dare he set foot

01:00:05on sacred Lycan royal grounds!

01:00:07Echoing his scorn,

01:00:08her disgust deepening.

01:00:09They have no sense of their place.

01:00:11Both are outcasts unfit for high society,

01:00:14only here to leech off prestige

01:00:15and cling to power.

01:00:17They clearly snuck in uninvited

01:00:18with no status or lineage.

01:00:20Once the true Lyman king arrives,

01:00:21guards will drive them out publicly,

01:00:22and they'll be the laughingstock

01:00:23of everyone present.

01:00:26Evan and Martha stepped forward abruptly,

01:00:29blocking Isabella and Sebastian's path,

01:00:31their manner arrogant

01:00:31and their words cutting.

01:00:33Isabella,

01:00:34you exiled,

01:00:35golden-eyed freak!

01:00:36How dare you sneak

01:00:37into a royal coronation,

01:00:38parading around

01:00:39with this low-class werewolf!

01:00:40You have no shame at all!

01:00:42Sebastian,

01:00:42I still remember

01:00:43your ragged state

01:00:44at the black market.

01:00:45A nobody like you

01:00:46has no right

01:00:47to stand on sacred ground.

01:00:48Take her and leave

01:00:49before you embarrass yourselves further.

01:00:51Whether we belong here

01:00:52is none of your concern.

01:00:53You two snuck in

01:00:54without invitations,

01:00:55yet you still dare

01:00:56to act high and mighty.

01:00:57Sebastian drew Isabella

01:00:58gently to his side,

01:01:00adopting a humble,

01:01:01meek demeanor,

01:01:01his tone soft and unassertive.

01:01:03Alpha Evan,

01:01:04Lady Martha,

01:01:05we only came to watch

01:01:06the ceremony.

01:01:07We mean no trouble,

01:01:08and we'll take our leave

01:01:09at once.

01:01:09Seeing Sebastian's

01:01:10apparent weakness

01:01:11emboldened Martha further.

01:01:12She stepped forward sharply,

01:01:14her tone growing harsher still.

01:01:16Leave is not enough!

01:01:17A low-class werewolf

01:01:19trespassing on royal sacred grand,

01:01:20you will apologize to us.

01:01:23Exactly.

01:01:25Beg forgiveness

01:01:26and get out.

01:01:27When the Lion King arrives,

01:01:29he'll strip your wolf power

01:01:30and shame you publicly.

01:01:31A flicker of cold calm

01:01:32passed through Sebastian's eyes,

01:01:33though his tone remained mild,

01:01:35edged with quiet certainty.

01:01:36Is that so?

01:01:37Then let us wait and see

01:01:37who ends up embarrassed

01:01:38before everyone.

01:01:39Isabella lifted her gaze,

01:01:40a faint glimmer

01:01:41shining in her golden eyes.

01:01:42She played along

01:01:43with Sebastian's act,

01:01:44looking wronged

01:01:45yet forcing herself

01:01:45to stay complete.

01:01:46You carry yourself

01:01:47so arrogantly.

01:01:48Do you not fear

01:01:49angering the Lichen King?

01:01:51Martha scoffed openly,

01:01:52utterly dismissant

01:01:53of their words.

01:01:54Anger the King?

01:01:56The only ones

01:01:56embarrassing themselves

01:01:57here are you two.

01:01:59The King will punish you,

01:02:01not us.

01:02:03Their taunt stung sharp

01:02:05and loud in my ears.

01:02:06I had no wish

01:02:07to waste time

01:02:07on these petty troublemakers,

01:02:09only wanting to turn away

01:02:10and let the ceremony

01:02:11proceed undisturbed.

01:02:12Pay them no mind.

01:02:14The real show

01:02:14is about to begin.

01:02:15I nodded

01:02:16and turned to leave

01:02:17with him.

01:02:17But Evan took

01:02:18my silence as defeat,

01:02:20stepping forward

01:02:20to block our path,

01:02:21wearing a mocking,

01:02:23triumphant smirk.

01:02:24Cat got your tongue?

01:02:25Can't argue back

01:02:25so you try to run?

01:02:27I knew it.

01:02:28You're both small-minded

01:02:29nobodies,

01:02:30unfit to stand against us.

01:02:31Run won't save you.

01:02:33Apologize here today

01:02:34or everyone will see

01:02:36the two of you

01:02:36brought low

01:02:37and humiliated.

01:02:40I frowned,

01:02:41ready to speak,

01:02:42when solemn ceremonial horns

01:02:43echoed across the grounds.

01:02:44A hush fell instantly,

01:02:45every gaze turning

01:02:46towards the high das.

01:02:47The host's voice

01:02:47boomed across the holy mountain,

01:02:49clear and authoritative

01:02:49through spiritual resonance.

01:02:51The auspicious hour has come.

01:02:53The Lycan king's

01:02:54coronation ceremony begins.

01:02:56All rise for the rightful

01:02:58Lycan royal heir,

01:02:59Lord Sebastian,

01:03:00and his fated mate,

01:03:02Lady Isabella,

01:03:03to ascend the royal days.

01:03:08Golden light burst

01:03:10across the sky.

01:03:15I, Sebastian,

01:03:17rightful heir

01:03:17to the Lycan throne,

01:03:18have quelled my brother's rebellion

01:03:20and reclaimed

01:03:20my royal birthright.

01:03:22Today I ascend

01:03:22officially as lion king

01:03:24and proclaim Isabella

01:03:25my sole lion queen.

01:03:26May all clans

01:03:27honor our rule

01:03:28and find peace

01:03:29under our protection.

01:03:31This was my mate,

01:03:32the one destined

01:03:33to walk beside me

01:03:34for all time.

01:03:35In the next instant,

01:03:36two sharp,

01:03:37disbelieving voices

01:03:39shattered the ceremony's

01:03:40solemnity.

01:03:42It cannot be!

01:03:43How can you be

01:03:44the Lycan king?

01:03:45You are nothing but

01:03:45a ragged nobody

01:03:46from the black market.

01:03:47You're pretending

01:03:47to claim the throne.

01:03:48Yes, you're an imposter!

01:03:49A low-class werewolf

01:03:51could never be

01:03:51Lycan royal heir!

01:03:52You've tricked everyone

01:03:53with some underhanded scheme!

01:03:54The true lord king

01:03:55could never be

01:03:56someone like you!

01:03:56They shouted hysterically,

01:03:58as if their refusal alone

01:03:59could undo reality.

01:04:01I watched their frantic display

01:04:02with complete indifference.

01:04:04It was utterly ridiculous now.

01:04:06The nobody they mocked

01:04:07was now the king.

01:04:08The outcasts they humiliated,

01:04:10now their queen.

01:04:14Insolent fools!

01:04:16To speak treason

01:04:18at the Lycan king's coronation,

01:04:20to deny royal lineage

01:04:22and dishonor the crown,

01:04:24you court your own doom.

01:04:27Guards, seize them!

01:04:28These two trespassed

01:04:30uninvited on sacred ceremony grounds,

01:04:32insulted the king and queen,

01:04:33and flouted royal decree.

01:04:34By order of the crown,

01:04:35strip three-tenths

01:04:36of their wolf power,

01:04:37expel them from the holy mountain,

01:04:38and ban them permanently

01:04:39from all Lycan territory.

01:04:41Any who defy this ruling

01:04:42shall be put to death

01:04:43without hesitation.

01:04:47He hated his own blindness

01:04:48and pride,

01:04:49mocking the true lion king,

01:04:51and now reaping the ruin

01:04:52he had sown.

01:04:53Your majesty,

01:04:54King Sebastian,

01:04:55I beg forgiveness.

01:04:56I dare not doubt you again.

01:04:57I swear it.

01:04:58Your grace,

01:04:58Queen Isabella,

01:04:59please show mercy.

01:05:01We will never insult you again,

01:05:02never trespass on royal ceremony grounds.

01:05:04Spare us this once.

01:05:05You mock freely

01:05:06when you hold pride,

01:05:07yet beg for mercy and ruin.

01:05:09Your arrogance and ignorance

01:05:10deserve no forgiveness from me.

01:05:12They had brought this upon themselves,

01:05:14casting me aside,

01:05:15humiliating me,

01:05:15looking down on others,

01:05:16and now they faced the consequences.

01:05:18They left an utter disgrace,

01:05:19their pride shattered beyond repair.

01:05:25Selene alone beneath the shade of a tree.

01:05:27She clutched her communicator tightly.

01:05:31Why hasn't William come?

01:05:32He swore he would overthrow Sebastian

01:05:34at the coronation.

01:05:35Once he takes the crown,

01:05:36he'll make me Lion Queen.

01:05:38He wouldn't lie to me.

01:05:40The lion was dead completely.

01:05:43No, this can't be.

01:05:45He wouldn't deceive me.

01:05:46He must have been stopped by Sebastian's guards,

01:05:48caught in trouble somehow.

01:05:50William!

01:05:51William!

01:05:58Selene, you are foolish and greedy indeed.

01:06:01Did you truly believe

01:06:02I would risk everything for the throne

01:06:03or crown you queen?

01:06:04I only used you to drain your wealth

01:06:06and resources from my own gain.

01:06:08At last the truth crashed over her.

01:06:10This had never been anything

01:06:11but a carefully laid trap.

01:06:14Please, my wealth, my crown,

01:06:16everything is gone.

01:06:17He lied to me.

01:06:19He truly lied to me.

01:06:22The word soon spread

01:06:24of Selene's secret alliance with William.

01:06:27She was branded an enemy

01:06:29of the Lion Crown,

01:06:30blacklisted across all werewolf lands.

01:06:33Foolish woman.

01:06:34Not only were you deceived,

01:06:35you dragged my pack into ruin.

01:06:37Do not show yourself to me again.

01:06:39We are finished.

01:06:40Evan, please help me.

01:06:41I know I was wrong.

01:06:43I only wanted a better life.

01:06:44Clean up the mess you made alone.

01:06:45Someone like you is not worthy of standing beside me.

01:06:52Penniless and without allies,

01:06:54she became a public joke

01:06:56among the werewolf clans.

01:06:58She spent her days

01:06:59adrift in loneliness and regret.

01:07:02Evan was stripped of part

01:07:03of his wolf power.

01:07:04His former alpha dominance

01:07:05faded away entirely.

01:07:07I let vanity blind me

01:07:09and looked down on Sebastian

01:07:11out of pride.

01:07:12This ruin is entirely

01:07:13my own fault.

01:07:14If only I hadn't urged you

01:07:15to seek favor,

01:07:16if only I hadn't angered

01:07:17the royal family,

01:07:18what will become of us now?

01:07:20There is nothing we can do.

01:07:21Our pack fades.

01:07:23We are powerless to protect it.

01:07:24We can only leave

01:07:25our fate to time.

01:07:26The old glory of the blood moon pack

01:07:28faded into memory.

01:07:30The clan declined steadily

01:07:32into obscurity,

01:07:34struggling merely to survive.

01:07:39All external conflicts faded away

01:07:42and the last traces of royal rebellion

01:07:44were pumped quelled completely.

01:07:46Peace settled over every corner

01:07:49of werewolf territory.

01:07:52Sebastian ruled the Lycan throne steadily,

01:07:55managing clan affairs with calm order,

01:07:57leaving no room for further chaos.

01:08:00With Pup now growing inside me,

01:08:03I rested quietly in the Lyman royal man's

01:08:05mansion.

01:08:06Sebastian set aside many official duties

01:08:08to stay by my side,

01:08:10tending to my every need

01:08:11with gentle, careful devotion.

01:08:13You don't have to stay by my side

01:08:15every moment.

01:08:15Royal affairs keep you busy.

01:08:17Don't let me hold you back.

01:08:19The throne matters,

01:08:20but you and the pup you carry

01:08:22matter most in my life.

01:08:25The elders contend to all trivial matters.

01:08:27Ella also remained safely

01:08:28within the royal household,

01:08:30staying close to keep me company

01:08:31and looking after my daily needs

01:08:33with heartfelt care.

01:08:34Rest easy and focus on your pregnancy, Luna.

01:08:37I'll stay right here with you

01:08:38so you have nothing to worry about.

01:08:42Sebastian tangled his fingers with mine,

01:08:45his eyes soft.

01:08:48Ella smiled quietly beside us.

01:08:51Sunlight spilled through the window,

01:08:53warm and calm,

01:08:54over all three of us.
