Short filmTranscript
00:02I saved my mate's life, but he wanted me dead.
00:07The day Lucian became alpha, he stabbed me and dragged me to the beast world.
00:11Cora should have been my Luna.
00:14You stole everything from her.
00:17Now die.
00:20The cage opened.
00:22Hundreds of starving beasts rushed toward me.
00:24My mate held another woman in his arms and smiled as he watched.
00:29Then I opened my eyes and found myself back on the day he needed me to save his life.
00:34This time, I smiled and walked away.
00:37As a beast calendar, I had always done everything to help my partner, Lucian.
00:42I had even saved his life once.
00:43But on the day he became alpha, but he stabbed me in the back.
00:49Cora is the one I love most.
00:51If you hadn't fought to steal her chance to save me back then, she'd be my Luna.
00:57Right now!
00:58Aren't you able to control beasts?
01:00I haven't eaten in three days.
01:02So go on.
01:04Let me see whether a bitch like you can control them.
01:06My little cat threw herself in front of me.
01:10But the beasts tore us both to shreds.
01:13My family was branded as traitors and sinners.
01:17And then I was reborn.
01:19Back to the morning when Lucian was surrounded by the beasts.
01:22The Luna gripped my hand tightly.
01:24Serena, I heard you can control beasts.
01:27Can you save Lucian?
01:28I shook my head immediately.
01:30Luna, I can't even calm a cat.
01:31I wouldn't dare risk the heir's life.
01:33I heard Cora already brought warriors to look for him.
01:37Lucian is the alpha heir.
01:38The moon goddess will protect him.
01:40This time, I wanted to see how Lucian would become alpha without my help.
01:43A scream echoed from deep within the forest.
01:46Everyone's faces turned tense.
01:48Soon, the warriors carried Lucian back.
01:50His entire body was covered in blood.
01:54Useless fools.
01:55This is how you protect my son?
01:57The alpha flew into a rage and stepped forward to punish them.
02:00Lucian stopped him.
02:01Father, if Cora and the warriors hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have survived.
02:05Don't blame them.
02:06The healers examined him and confirmed his life was no longer in danger.
02:10Only then did the alpha notice the crying Cora standing nearby.
02:14Loyal and brave.
02:15You risked your life for Lucian today.
02:18What reward do you want?
02:19I-
02:19Cora's cheeks flushed red as she stammered.
02:22I-
02:23She couldn't finish a single sentence.
02:25Father, Cora's too shy.
02:27Let me speak for her.
02:28I've desired her for a long time.
02:29Now I owe her my life.
02:31So I want her to become my mate.
02:34My future Luna.
02:54See you later.
02:55Bye.
02:56Bye.
02:56Bye.
03:04Bye.
03:05Bye.
03:14.
03:44.
04:14.
04:44.
05:14.
05:14.
05:14.
05:14.
05:25.
05:25.
05:25.
05:26.
05:26.
05:26.
05:27.
05:27.
05:27.
05:28This is the end of the day.
05:29You can see the news on the internet?
05:32I'm not sure about it.
05:34And then I'm going to meet the 3rd.
05:37And then I'm going to meet the 3rd.
05:39And then I'm going to tell you that I'm going to meet the 3rd.
05:43The 3rd.
05:58The beginning of the year
06:02Gasps instantly spread through the crowd.
06:04Korra was nothing more than a lowborn Omega, the daughter of Lucian's nanny.
06:08Her bloodline alone meant she could never become a Luna.
06:11The Alpha's expression darkened.
06:13He looked at Lucian and slowly shook his head.
06:15Luna frowned.
06:16The Heir's Luna is no small matter.
06:18You're the future Alpha.
06:20You need to understand that.
06:21Lucian answered firmly.
06:22I know my responsibilities as Heir,
06:25But a throne is earned through strength, not bloodline.
06:29The moment those words left his mouth, the Alpha was completely enraged.
06:33Among wolf packs, noble bloodlines were everything.
06:36Only the strongest blood could produce worthy heirs.
06:39Good. Very bold. Truly, my son.
06:41Make the announcement. Korra will be the heirs' mate.
06:44Set the date for the mating ceremony.
06:46The Alpha stormed away while the Luna hurried after him.
06:49Lucian pulled Korra into his arms, his expression gentle.
06:53Korra, this time I'll never let go of your hand again.
06:56I watched them holding each other tightly.
06:58A cold smile curved across my lips before I turned and left.
07:01Stop!
07:01Lucian limped over to me and leaned close to my ear, lowering his voice, he said.
07:06Selene, I know you were reborn too. You were smart this time.
07:09You didn't steal Korra's spotlight.
07:11I admit I went too far in our last life.
07:13So this time, as long as you don't offend her, I can mock you too.
07:16I frowned my voice flat and icy.
07:19My father is the Alpha's right hand, and I'm his only daughter.
07:22Why would I become your mistress?
07:24I hid the truth about my rebirth.
07:25I didn't want any more entanglement with him.
07:28My gaze drifted to his manged leg.
07:30I couldn't help laughing softly.
07:32An Alpha heir who was about to lose both legs.
07:35Whoever wanted him could have him.
07:37I turned to leave.
07:38Lucian reached for me, but his footing slipped and he crashed heavily to the ground.
07:42Korra screamed his name.
07:44Lucian!
07:45I walked away without looking back.
07:49Gasps instantly spread through the crowd.
07:51Korra was nothing more than a low-born Omega, the daughter of Lucian's mother.
07:57When I returned home, my family was there.
08:00Daisy jumped into my arms and rubbed her head against my chin.
08:03My eyes instantly filled with tears.
08:05The moon goddess had given me a second chance.
08:08I would never repeat the tragedy of my last life.
08:10The next morning, Korra burst into my room with red swollen eyes, completely hysterical.
08:16You were born with everything!
08:17Why are you still trying to steal Lucian from me?
08:20If I'd give my life just to stay by his side, I won't let anyone get close to him!
08:26Still half asleep, I rubbed my eyes and stood up.
08:28When exactly was I fighting you for Lutrian?
08:31Korra glared at me viciously.
08:33What did you say to him yesterday?
08:34He kept calling your name in his sleep!
08:36I laughed.
08:37Didn't he tell you?
08:38He begged me to become his mate.
08:41Korra let out a shrill scream.
08:44Impossible!
08:45You bitch!
08:46You seduced him!
08:47She lunged at me, swinging a fist toward my face, sensing danger.
08:51Daisy instantly leapt off the vanity table.
08:54Her claws slashed straight across Korra's silk.
08:57Korra screamed and staggered backward.
08:59The heel caught on itself, and she crashed hard onto the floor.
09:02I was just about to tell a maid to help her,
09:05when Lucian's roar exploded through the room.
09:08Selina!
09:09How dare you hurt her!
09:10One of my maids couldn't help speaking up.
09:13Lady Korra forced her way in and struck first.
09:15Daisy was only protecting the Selina.
09:17Lucian slammed the maid against the wall.
09:19Who allowed you to speak?
09:21His gaze fell on Daisy before flicking toward me.
09:23That mutt injured my future Luna.
09:26Selene, it deserves to die.
09:28My heart stopped.
09:29I immediately scooped Daisy into my arms.
09:33Alpha.
09:34Korra barged into my home.
09:36She attacked first.
09:37Was I supposed to stand there and let her kill me?
09:40A sneer curled across Lucian's lips.
09:42I'm the Alpha heir.
09:43The next Alpha.
09:45Korra will become your Luna.
09:47If she teaches you a lesson, you should be grateful.
09:50He lifted a hand.
09:51His warriors loosened their grip on the dog's leash,
09:53and the dog lunged towards me.
09:55I'm the Alpha.
10:04No!
10:05Scenes from my previous life flashed before my eyes.
10:08The moment Lucian threw me into the last minute.
10:11Daisy's fur had stood on end as she forced herself to face those monsters,
10:14shielding me with her tiny body.
10:16Why?
10:17Why?
10:18Even with a second chance,
10:19could I still only watch her die in front of me?
10:21I forced down the pain, crushing my chest, and glared at him.
10:25Lucian!
10:26She was protecting me!
10:28What did she do wrong?
10:29He took a step back, disgust flashing across his face.
10:33Then he gently covered Korra's eyes.
10:35Don't look, Korra.
10:37You'll dirty your eyes.
10:38Then he looked at me with contempt.
10:40Take this as a lesson.
10:41This time it's an animal.
10:43Next time it'll be you.
10:44Just because I'm willing to make you my mistress doesn't mean I like you.
10:48Don't think that gives you the right to order Korra around.
10:50You're only fit to be her servant.
10:53Then he left with Korra.
10:54I clenched my fists so tightly my nails bit into my palms,
10:57forcing back my tears.
10:59Lucian, again and again, you destroy everything I love.
11:02This time, I won't sit back and watch.
11:04You dream of making Korra your Luna.
11:06We'll see whether you even live long enough for that day.
11:09I carried Daisy's stiff body in my arms and buried her myself in the garden.
11:13That grassy patch had been her favorite place to run.
11:16Now she could only lie there, alone.
11:18The tears wouldn't stop falling.
11:21Then a long-fingered hand appeared before me,
11:23holding a neatly folded handkerchief.
11:25Kale, the Alpha's fourth son.
11:27Lucian hadn't been the only one in danger yesterday.
11:30Kale had been there too, in my last life.
11:32All I cared about was Lucian.
11:34I drove away the beasts for him alone.
11:36Kale had died with no one to help me.
11:39This time, I had deliberately sent him a signal.
11:42I told him to stay inside the cabin and not wander off.
11:46Behind him sat crates filled with jewels and silk.
11:49Selina, thank you for warning me yesterday.
11:53You saved my life.
11:54I took the handkerchief, wiped my tears away,
11:56and looked straight into his eyes.
11:58Kale, if you really want to repay me,
12:00would you be willing to become my mate?
12:13No!
12:15Scenes from my previous life flashed before my eyes.
12:18The moment he slipped,
12:19the moment he slipped,
12:19the moment he slipped.
12:20Daisy's fur had stood on end as she washed herself.
12:25Shock flashed across Kale's face.
12:27He clearly hadn't expected me to be so direct.
12:30Then he smiled,
12:31a trace of admiration in his eyes.
12:33Of course.
12:34Wait for me to come get you.
12:36A second later, he vanished,
12:38fast as the wolf beneath his skin.
12:39The next morning,
12:41Kale came personally to formally propose to me.
12:43His manners were flawless, refined, and respectful.
12:46It was obvious he truly valued me.
12:48Father was pleased.
12:50He had once hoped I would marry Lucian.
12:52But Lucian had publicly chosen a low-born Omega
12:55in front of the entire pack.
12:57Father finally realized the heir could not be trusted.
13:00Compared to him,
13:00Kyle was sincere.
13:01The mating ceremony was arranged quickly.
13:03Prates of gifts from Kyle kept arriving one after another.
13:07The storage rooms were overflowing.
13:08Even the hallways were piled high with presents.
13:11And gifts should always be returned.
13:13So I went to the finest jewelry store in the city
13:16to pick something for him.
13:17The moment I stepped inside,
13:18a green belt caught my eye.
13:20Simple, striking,
13:21with three flawless emeralds set into the leather.
13:24I bought it and was preparing to leave.
13:26When I ran into Lucian and Korra,
13:28Lucian could barely stand steadily now.
13:31He looked sickly,
13:32a grey rot,
13:33like shadow spreading beneath his skin.
13:35The moment he noticed the green belt in my hands,
13:38smug satisfaction flashed across his face.
13:41I heard your family's preparing for the upcoming ceremony.
13:43So all that nonsense before about not wanting to be my mistress
13:46was just you being petty.
13:48But let me warn you first.
13:49You'd better not outshine Korra.
13:51She's the future Luna.
13:53And that belt?
13:54You're too late.
13:55Korra already made me one herself.
13:57Keep yours.
13:58Seeing him defend her so openly,
14:00Korra covered her mouth and giggled.
14:02Lucian, just take it.
14:04You can always give it to one of the servants.
14:06Korra's right.
14:10Lucian reached for my gift box.
14:32I immediately stepped back to avoid his touch.
14:35This isn't for you.
14:36Not for me?
14:37Then who else could it possibly be for?
14:40Selina,
14:41are you trying to get my attention again?
14:43He withdrew his hand,
14:44a cold smirk tugging at his lips.
14:47Fine.
14:48I won't expose your little act.
14:50I'm not interested in your gift anyway.
14:52He wrapped an arm around Korra
14:53and walked past me.
14:55I climbed into my car.
14:56Then suddenly,
14:57chaos erupted behind me.
14:58Korra's voice rang through the street.
15:00Lufian, what's wrong?
15:01Somebody help!
15:02Inside the car,
15:03I closed my eyes.
15:04Lucian,
15:05your punishment has finally arrived.
15:07The injuries from those beasts
15:08had looked horrifying,
15:09but they were never fatal.
15:10Lucian simply never took them seriously.
15:13What he didn't know
15:13was that the beasts
15:14driven by the rogue wolves
15:15carried a special venom.
15:17If he had listened to the healers,
15:18stayed in bed,
15:19and taken the antidote,
15:20he would have recovered without issue.
15:22But Korra had gone from a lowly Omega
15:24to the future Luna,
15:25the noble Sheer.
15:26Wolves looked down on her.
15:27And Lucian couldn't bear
15:29watching his girl suffer.
15:30So every day,
15:31he forced himself
15:32to accompany her everywhere,
15:34just to earn her respect
15:35within the pack.
15:36Eventually,
15:37whispers spread among the wolves.
15:39Korra's so lucky.
15:40What Korra didn't know
15:41was that her dignity
15:42had been bought
15:43with Lucian's life.
15:44When I returned home,
15:45I heard the palace
15:46was already in complete chaos.
15:48The heir to the wolf pack
15:49collapsed on the street,
15:51hanging between life and death.
15:53The entire pack was shaken.
15:54That was when Kael had paid.
15:56A faint smile curved
15:57across his lips.
15:59Selina,
16:00would you like to see a show?
16:02Of course.
16:03Kael carried two bottles
16:04of rare syrup.
16:05Using the excuse
16:05of visiting the patient,
16:07he escorted me
16:08to the old chambers.
16:09The healers swarmed
16:10around Lucian.
16:11They took turns
16:11trying everything they could,
16:13but he still wouldn't wake.
16:14Korra knelt on the floor,
16:15sobbing endlessly.
16:16At last,
16:17the Luna unleashed
16:18the fury
16:19she had been suppressing
16:20for later.
16:20She smashed everything
16:21in the room
16:22to the ground
16:22with deafening force.
16:24Her trembling finger
16:25pointed at Korra.
16:30Lucian's wounds
16:31had not healed,
16:32but you still
16:33dragged him around
16:34to show him off.
16:37You caused this.
16:39Are you satisfied now?
16:41The healer said
16:42the wounds themselves
16:43weren't severe,
16:44but he never rested,
16:45and the venom spread
16:47through his bloodstream.
16:49He may lose both legs.
16:51Under the storm of accusation,
16:52Korra only felt wronged.
16:55My Luna,
16:56this isn't fair.
16:57Lucian pitied me.
16:59He wanted the others
17:00to respect me,
17:01so...
17:05Enough!
17:06The Alpha
17:06had just returned
17:07from council.
17:08The moment he heard
17:09her excuse,
17:10he kicked her violently
17:11across the room.
17:12If you hadn't
17:12beswet Lucian,
17:14would he have treated
17:14his own body
17:15so scoffsily?
17:18He's barely consciousness.
17:20The mating ceremony
17:21is only days away
17:22it's cancelled.
17:22Korra stared blankly
17:23at everything before her,
17:25unable to believe
17:25it was real.
17:27The Luna's residence
17:27was so close now.
17:29No one was supposed
17:30to take it from her.
17:31Before she could speak again,
17:33Lucian's weak voice
17:34drifted through the room.
17:35Father,
17:37Mother,
17:38don't blame Korra.
17:40This was my choice.
17:42Please don't cancel
17:43the mating ceremony.
17:44I'll recover by then.
17:46I swear it.
17:47Please.
17:47After a fit of coughing,
17:49Lucian slowly opened his eyes.
17:51Seeing this,
17:52the Alpha and Luna
17:53could no longer
17:53bring themselves
17:54to punish her further.
17:55The Alpha's voice
17:56turned cold and severe.
17:58Fine.
17:59Heal my son
18:00and the wedding
18:00will proceed.
18:02Fail
18:02and your punishment
18:04will show no mercy.
18:06Korra nodded frantically,
18:08determination sharpening
18:09in her eyes.
18:10This was her last chance
18:11and she would seize it
18:13no matter what.
18:28Alpha and Luna left.
18:30Korra rushed to Lucian's side
18:31at once.
18:32She thought he's waking up
18:33meant things were
18:33finally getting better.
18:35But moments later,
18:36he slipped back
18:37into unconsciousness.
18:38The healers wiped the sweat
18:40from their brows,
18:40their voices trembling.
18:42Air.
18:42He may not survive
18:44much longer.
18:46Liars!
18:47How dare you say that!
18:48He's the future Alpha!
18:50The moon goddess
18:51protects him!
18:52He swore he would mate
18:53with me!
18:53He would never leave me!
18:54Korra collapsed
18:55in despair,
18:56yet I felt nothing
18:57but satisfaction.
18:58I walked over
18:59and looked down at her.
19:00Korra, you killed
19:01my Daisy.
19:03And now karma's
19:04come for you too.
19:05How does it feel?
19:07If Lucian dies,
19:08what happens to
19:09an unmated partner
19:10like you?
19:11Die alone?
19:12Or die with him?
19:14Korra jerked her head up
19:15and scrambled backward
19:16and panicked.
19:16Shut up!
19:17He'll be fine!
19:18He has to be!
19:19I'll become his Luna!
19:21I always will!
19:22You just wait, bitch!
19:24On the day of the mating ceremony,
19:25the entire pack
19:26will be there watching.
19:27So what if you were born noble?
19:29One day you'll still
19:30have to call me Luna.
19:32I laugh.
19:32I'll be waiting for that day.
19:35Don't disappoint me.
19:36I turned and walked away.
19:38Korra cursed under her breath
19:39behind me.
19:40I didn't hear it clearly
19:41and I didn't care.
19:42Kyle had witnessed
19:42everything from the doorway.
19:44He didn't understand
19:45why I hated Lucian
19:46and Korra so deeply
19:47but he restrained
19:48his curiosity
19:49and asked nothing.
19:50The mating ceremony
19:51drew closer.
19:52Yet Lucian still
19:53hadn't woken up.
19:54Rumors spread everywhere.
19:55The air was dying.
19:57The sheath,
19:57wolves who once envied Korra,
19:59now mocked her mercilessly
20:00while she was down.
20:02She cried herself
20:03to sleep every day.
20:04Out of options,
20:05she summoned every healer,
20:07witch doctor
20:08and street witch
20:08she could find,
20:09hoping some spell
20:10might drive her soul back.
20:13I secretly sent someone
20:14to hint to her
20:15about a street witch
20:16from the dark hollow coven,
20:17a forbidden circle
20:18hidden deep
20:19within the Shadowfang territories.
20:21Desperate,
20:22Korra sought the witch
20:22out in secret.
20:24In the end,
20:24the witch handed her
20:25a small black vial
20:26filled with silver-blue liquid.
20:28On the day of the mating ceremony,
20:30Korra stood alone
20:31beside Lucian's bed
20:32in a moon.
20:33White gown,
20:34a luna's crown
20:35adorning her hair.
20:37Lucian wore ceremonial robes
20:39for the bonding rite,
20:40his eyes tightly shut.
21:32I would say,
21:33give up. That's true love, isn't it? It's not love. She just wants to become Luna. If she really loved
21:38him, she wouldn't force him to mark her at a time like this. The Alpha wanted to cancel the
21:43ceremony. She begged him not to and swore she could heal Lucian. Alpha and Luna arrived as well.
21:49The Alpha's face was green. Cora, it's time. Lucian isn't waking up. The mating ceremony is
21:54cancelled. Everyone go home. No, your majesty, please wait a little longer. He'll wake up. He
22:00will. Cora pleaded desperately. The Alpha frowned. I've already shown you more mercy than I should
22:06have, except reality. Take that ceremonial gown off her. Cora clutched the gown tightly and refused
22:13to let anyone near her. Her eyes remained fixed on Lucian, filled with desperate hope. I waited
22:17silently, watching her fall apart, letting her taste the agony that had once consumed the final
22:22days of my life. Then Lucian's voice rang through the room. I'm not dead yet. How dare you treat Cora
22:28like this? The entire pack snapped their heads around in shock. Lucian, who had lain motionless
22:34just moments ago, suddenly sat up and climbed out of bed. Lucian woke up? Cora really brought him
22:40back? Looks like she's going to become Luna after all. Alpha and Luna stared in stunned disbelief,
22:45caught between shock and joy. Cora shoved through the crowd and threw herself into his arms. I thought
22:50I'd lost you forever. Don't worry. I'm here. The mating ceremony is still on. Don't miss the timing.
22:56Hand in hand, they walked through the crowd. As Cora passed me, she lifted her chin with a smug,
23:01taunting look. I said nothing. I simply counted. Three, two, one. Time's up. Lucian had barely
23:08taken a step before he stumbled and collapsed.
23:31Screams erupted instantly. His legs? There are so many shadow parasites. Not just his legs.
23:38There are more over there. He was fine just a second ago. How is this possible?
23:42Lucian swayed in dizziness. Thin black worms, dark as ink, and fine as strands of hair. Wriggled out of
23:49his wounds and dropped onto the ground. Every single one emitted a faint silver glow. Forbidden
23:54parasites that fed specifically on wolf blood. The wound in his leg burned like fire. The pain
24:00spread rapidly, sinking into the bone before finally reaching his abdomen. Cora's eyes widened
24:05as she shook her head by like. How could this happen? The witch said he was cured. Alpha and Luna
24:10were still in shock over Lucian's recovery. Then this horrifying scene unfolded before them.
24:15Without servants supporting them, they could hardly stay stable. Ahila rushed forward and
24:20examined Lucian before letting out a heavy sigh. The Alpha heir has been cursed.
24:26How could this happen? Who cursed him? Cora lowered her head and slowly backed into the crowd.
24:31Kale suddenly shouted. Where do you think you're going?
24:34You were the one taking care of Lucian the whole time. No one knows better than you how he ended
24:39up cursed. Cora had always been timid and weak by nature. That single shout shattered her
24:44completely. She dropped to her knees and confessed everything. It was supposed to be a miraculous
24:49treatment. A street witch taught it to me. She said the potion could bring the dead back
24:54to life. It was supposed to be a miracle. I never thought it would turn Lucian into this.
24:58You all saw it yourselves. He moved like a healthy wolf just now. That means the treatment worked.
25:04My fears were right. The healer said grimly.
25:06The poison restores strength temporarily, but the shadow parasites slowly eat the body away.
25:12In the end, the entire body rots into pulp.
25:20Lies. That's not true. Cora shook her head frantically. That's not true.
25:24Lucian stared at her, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes. Her face was still so soft,
25:30so innocent, looking. He could not believe she would do this to him. They found a witch,
25:35she cried. Alpha! Spare me! This was all that lady's idea! I warned her! How dangerous it was!
25:41I begged her to give up! She wouldn't listen. She said it didn't matter what the heir became afterward,
25:47as long as he completed the mating ceremony. Those words shattered the last scraps of trust,
25:52and pity Lucian still held for Cora. Bitch! Why would you do this to me? I got injured waiting
25:59for you to save me, and now you've destroyed everything. If only I had chosen differently.
26:06Agony filled his face as he searched the crowd for me. Only now did regret finally consume him.
26:12Lucian collapsed to the ground. The healer informed the Alpha that Lucian was beyond saving.
26:16The Alpha ordered Cora imprisoned. What had begun as a lively mating ceremony ended in chaos and shelter.
26:23Kyle and I turned to leave, but Lucian grabbed the hem of my dress. His horse, weakening voice,
26:28echoed behind me. Selena, don't go. His eyes were red with regret. I was blind. Only now do I
26:35finally see what Cora really is. She lied to me from the very beginning. I thought she truly loved
26:40me. I never imagined she only wanted to become Luna. Now I understand. You were the only one who
26:46truly loved me. I was wrong. Give me one more chance. Forgive me. You're still my Luna. I almost laughed
26:53out loud. He actually believed a simple apology could erase everything I had suffered. He had
26:58to be dreaming.
27:09I pried Lucian's hand away from my dress. Alpha, once glass shatters, it can never be made whole again.
27:15Regret can't buy back anything. On the day Kael and I bonded, the ceremonial cave overflowed
27:20with guests. Moonlight poured through cracks in the dome above, bathing the entire altar
27:25in silver. Kyle personally escorted me to the carriage, dressed in dark, grey ceremonial
27:30robes. He took my hand and gently brushed his thumb across my palm.
27:35Nervous?
27:35Not at all.
27:37Liar. I can hear your heartbeat.
27:39I couldn't help laughing. He bent down and straightened my skirt for me. The procession
27:44departed beneath the pack's cheers, songs and blessings surging around us with wings. Then
27:50suddenly, the road ahead was blocked.
27:52Selina, without my permission, how dare you mate with another wolf?
27:56Lucian sat slumped in the ridge, gaunt and hollowed out. The surrounding werewolves lowered
28:01their voices as they whispered.
28:03What happened to the alpha heir? Wasn't he still walking around with his mate not long ago?
28:06The one bonding today is Lady Ashfield. What does she have to do with him? Haven't you
28:11heard? Lucian forced a servant girl into the lunar residence and even tried to make Lady
28:16Ashfield his mistress. That's not even half of it. The heir ended up ruined because of
28:21the woman he chose.
28:22Lucian's expression darkened more and more with every word, but he no longer had the strength
28:26to argue. All his attention remained fixed on him.
28:31Selina, you once told me that in this life and the next, you would always be my mate.
28:36His voice was coarse, filled with sick desperation.
28:39Thanks to the medicine you sent, the healers said I'm out of danger now. I'll recover completely
28:42soon. Let me make it up to you, Kraid.
28:45I looked at him. Once upon a time, those eyes could have made me die willingly for him.
28:49Now they only felt cold.
28:51Alpha, I already told you, there will never be anything between us again.
28:55No, you still love me. Otherwise, why would you personally help me choose that belt?
29:07I paused. The entire thing was absurd. Even now, he was still lying to himself, clinging
29:12to a belt like it was his last hope. Beside me, Kyle calmly opened his coat, revealing
29:18a flash of dark green at his waist.
29:20Lucian, are you talking about this one?
29:21Shock flooded Lucian's face. Kyle glanced down at the belt and spoke evenly.
29:26Sorry to disappoint you. Selina picked this out for me. The size fits perfectly.
29:30Lucian froze completely. That's impossible. How could you decide to mate with him so quickly?
29:35You sent me medicine. You still care about me.
29:39He stared at me stubbornly. I leaned close to his ear, my voice soft enough that only he
29:44could hear. Death isn't the scary part. Living is the real punishment.
29:48Lucian, enjoy your nightmare. He closed his eyes and slumped back into a dungeon.
29:53Kyle gave a faint wave, signaling for the servants to wheel him away. Along the road, the stench
29:59of rot, drifting from Lucian's wounds, made nearby walls, instinctively cover their noses.
30:04Step back. Kyle turned toward me.
30:06Come on, don't let him ruin our day.
30:08He simply extended his hand.
30:10Gently, I placed my hand against him. The procession observed.
30:13Moonlight spilled across the road like a silver carpet, laid down by the goddess herself.
30:18I leaned against Kyle's shoulder, listening to the wheels roll over ground.
30:23One arm wrapped around me, while his other hand gently stroked my back.
30:26Behind us. The name that had once caused me unbearable pain, faded farther and farther into the
30:32moonlight, until it disappeared completely.
30:34Kyle, thank you.
30:37He said nothing. He only pulled me a little closer.
30:49Dim lighting, a warm room. Our first night after bonding belonged only to us.
30:55Kyle was far more passionate than his gentle appearance suggested.
30:58Like a wolf who had finally gotten what he longed.
31:02He was patient, focused, and tireless.
31:04I rubbed my aching shoulder, and begged hoarsely for mercy, before he finally relented.
31:09Even then, he still kept me tightly wrapped in his arms, his chin resting against the top
31:14of my head. At dawn, half asleep in his embrace, I asked without thinking.
31:19Back then, why did you agree so quickly to make me your mate?
31:22Kyle let out a low chuckle.
31:23You're only asking now?
31:25I've had a crush on you for ten years.
31:28I always hoped my mate would be you.
31:30Holding me in his arms, he slowly told me stories I had never known.
31:35Years ago, at that grand full moon ball, he saw me for the first time.
31:40The hall had been crowded with guests.
31:42Yet after one glance, he could never look away again.
31:44But back then, my eyes had only been on Lucian.
31:47He never forced his way into my life.
31:49He simply stayed in the shadows, silently protecting me.
31:52Even in my previous life, it had been the same.
31:54The reason I managed to reach the hunting grounds in time and drive away the beasts was because
31:59of me.
32:00Before I arrived, he had shifted into wolf form and acted as bait, leading the fiercest
32:05beasts away by himself.
32:06In that lifetime, he died in those hunting grounds.
32:09My vision blurred instantly.
32:11In my previous life, he had died because of me, and I had never even known.
32:16Kale, I'm sorry.
32:18He tightened his arms around me, his lips brushing my forehead.
32:21You have nothing to apologize for.
32:24Being able to become your mate made everything worth it.
32:26I buried my face against his chest as silent tears soaked into his shirt.
32:30He said nothing.
32:31He only patted my back over and over, as though comforting a child who had cried herself exhausted.
32:37Thank the moon goddess.
32:39This time, we didn't miss each other.
32:51Married life was peaceful beyond belief.
32:53Kale had a habit he could never seem to break.
32:55Every morning before I woke up, he would place a fresh evening primrose beside my pillow.
33:00So when I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was always that half-bloom flower still
33:04carrying traces of morning dew.
33:06Whenever I read, he liked sneaking up behind me and resting his chin lightly on my shoulder.
33:11Without saying a word, he would quietly stay there until I finished the entire page.
33:15His breathing against my neck was warm and steady.
33:18One time, I didn't turn the page for nearly 15 minutes.
33:21Are you actually reading?
33:22He finally asked.
33:23I'm enjoying the feeling of you leaning against me.
33:25His ears turned red.
33:26An alpha-blooded wolf, nearly six feet tall, actually blushed because of one sentence.
33:31I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of the chair.
33:34Embarrassed and annoyed, he scooped me up effortlessly, threw me over his shoulder,
33:38and headed straight for the bedroom.
33:39What are you doing?
33:40Put me down!
33:42No more reading.
33:43Sleep.
33:44Kale.
33:45Quiet.
33:46He said quiet, but his tone was full of affection.
34:06On nights of the full moon, we loved running together in the mountains behind the territory.
34:11When Kale shifted into wolf form, his fur turned a rare silver, gray that almost seemed
34:16to glow beneath the moonlight.
34:17This wolf was far larger than an ordinary alpha's, his shoulders nearly reaching my chest.
34:22When he ran, every movement was graceful and fierce, but in front of me, the huge silver
34:27wolf would crouch obediently, rubbing his head against my palm like an affectionate pocket.
34:32I loved burying my face in the thick, soft fur around me.
34:35His body temperature was always warm, like a living room.
34:38I shifted into wolf form too, and we ran side by side.
34:41Under the moonlight, two figures, one silvery, one white raced across the mountain each.
34:47When we grew tired, we would lie beside each other, atop the rocks, overlooking the entire
34:52territory.
34:53Countless lights glittered below us like shattered moonlight scattered across the earth.
34:56He shifted back into human form, barefoot on the grass, as moonlight traced silver edges
35:02along his silhouette.
35:03Kale, when you become alpha someday, will you still run with me like this?
35:06He looked at me seriously, his gaze open and steady.
35:09In front of everyone else, I'm the alpha.
35:11In front of you, I'll always just be your Kale.
35:13I turned my face away so he wouldn't see my reddening eyes.
35:16In this lifetime, I finally understood what it felt like to be cherished.
35:20Yet beneath that peace, news about Lucian still reached us from time to time.
35:24His legs were completely ruined now.
35:26He could only remain bedridden.
35:27His wounds had to be treated three times a day.
35:30Though the shadow parasites had been moved, the silver poison had sunk deep into his bones
35:34and could never be reversed.
35:36When summer arrived, the smell of decay filled his entire hole.
35:40Servants rotated shifts, caring for him, writting their teeth before entering.
35:44Worst of all, Kura's treatment had left him completely infertile.
35:48He would never have an heir.
36:11The storm from the council finally arrived.
36:13High ranking officials jointly petitioned the alpha to appoint a new heir.
36:18The alpha pitied Lucian, but no one understood the laws of the pack better than he did.
36:22The weak were unfit to lead the strong.
36:24How could a king confine to a wheelchair rule over thousands of wolves?
36:28Of all his sons, only Kael was worthy of the position.
36:31Kael, from this day forward, you are the new alpha.
36:36The alpha pitied.
36:37Kael knelt on one knee and accepted the silver token engraved with the wolf crest.
36:41His gaze passed over the gathered officials before finally settling on him.
36:45The decree stripping Lucian of his title arrived at his door.
36:49That very day, Lucian mismatched everything within each beside his fault.
36:53That was the final blow.
36:54He ordered servants to wheel him to the dungeon.
36:57He wanted to see Kora.
36:59The dungeon was damp and dark.
37:01Kora curled in the corner.
37:02Her clothes tattered and her hair tangled into knots.
37:05Only her eyes still shone with the madness that poured on his hand.
37:09The sound of wheelchair wheels echoed down the corridor.
37:13Kora looked up when she saw him.
37:15Her lips twisted into a strange smile.
37:17You came.
37:18It's because of you.
37:19Lucian's voice was hoarse and cold.
37:22If not for you, I never would have ended up like this.
37:25This is all your fault.
37:26His hands closed around him throat.
37:28You should die!
37:29But there was no strength left in him.
37:31Kora shoved him away, effortlessly.
37:33The wheelchair slammed into the wall with a dull crash.
37:59Kora stared at Lucian's broken state and suddenly burst into laughter.
38:04The sound was sharp and shrill, echoing endlessly through the empty dungeon.
38:07My fault?
38:09Her eyes widened.
38:10You were the one who couldn't hold on.
38:11If you'd lasted just a little longer, if we'd completed the bonding ceremony, I'd be Luna by now.
38:17Her voice climbed higher and higher, growing hysterically.
38:20I'm his Luna!
38:22I'm his Luna!
38:24I am his Luna!
38:27Only now did Lucian finally realize how foolish she would be.
38:30For this woman, he had personally pushed Selina.
38:33And from beginning to end, this woman had never loved him, only the position he held.
38:38He turned his wheelchair around and left without another glance.
38:41Kyle's official Alpha ceremony would take place three days later.
38:45That night, I helped him straighten his ceremonial doors.
38:48Standing before the mirror, he wore an unusual experience.
38:51Actually, what's wrong?
38:53I asked.
38:53I never imagined my life would leave me here.
38:56It's okay.
38:56I'll be with you.
38:57During the ceremony, the silver Luna crown was placed upon my head as moonlight poured through the cave ceiling.
39:03The entire pack lowered their heads in unison.
39:05Deep growls of submission rolled away about the waves of the cabin.
39:09At the very back of the crowd, Lucian sat in his wheelchair in the furthest corner.
39:13Everyone else bowed their heads.
39:15Only he looked up, his eyes filled with pain and regret.
39:18If Korra hadn't destroyed him, the one standing here today should have been me.
39:21After the ceremony, he was moved out of the royal chambers and relocated to a small cabin outside the territory
39:27game.
39:28The door closed behind him from that day onward.
39:30No one ever visited again.
39:40Life after becoming Luna grew busier, but Kyle never once made me feel alone.
39:44During the day, he handled pack affairs.
39:46No matter how busy he was, he always came home before evening.
39:49Sometimes, while I sat reading medical texts in the study, he would deliberately peek his head through the doorway.
39:55He always did that, never interrupting, never rushing me, just quietly staying nearby.
39:59Sometimes, when I looked up, I would find him asleep on the sofa, still holding a half-read territorial report.
40:05Whenever I covered him with a blanket, he would unconsciously grab my wrist in his sleep.
40:09Don't go.
40:10I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere.
40:12One afternoon, heavy rain suddenly poured down.
40:15He returned soaked from head to toe, yet held a paper package carefully against his chest.
40:19What's that?
40:20He handed it to me. Inside was a silver hand-woven ribbon with a tiny moonstone dangling from the tassel.
40:26I saw it at the market, thought it would look nice with your white dress.
40:29You got drouched for a ribbon?
40:31Not exactly. It was on the way.
40:33He was obviously lying. The market was on the opposite side of the territory from where he'd gone.
40:38I stared at the ribbon and suddenly felt my nose sting. He immediately panicked.
40:42What? You don't like it? I can exchange it.
40:45I love it.
40:45I interrupted, tying the ribbon around my wrist.
40:48I really love it.
40:49He relaxed at once, smiling like a boy who'd just been praised. That night, we lay side by side listening
40:55to the rain outside the window.
40:57Kale.
40:58I think I must have been blind before.
41:01Yeah, you really were.
41:03Couldn't you at least comfort me?
41:05Comfort you for what? You're telling the truth.
41:07Hit him.
41:07I reached over to hit him. He laughed and dodged before pulling me back into his arms again.
41:11But it's okay.
41:12He murmured softly in the darkness.
41:14You see me now. That's enough.
41:57.
42:27.
42:57.
43:30.
43:45The day Lucian moved out, I went to see him off.
43:48Morning fog still lingered as his wheelchair sat outside the cabin.
43:51The servants carried out the last box and left quickly.
43:54Hearing footsteps, he slowly looked up.
43:56When he realized it was me, a trace of hope flashed across his withered face.
44:00Selina, so in the end, you still care about me?
44:03I shook my head, a victor smile curling at my face.
44:06You're wrong, Lucian. I only came to see how your story ends.
44:10His expression froze. I crouched down until we were eye level.
44:14You still don't know, do you? That so-called Korra found from the witch? I arranged all of it.
44:18His pupils shrank violently.
44:20From the very beginning, I was the one who wanted you dead.
44:22My voice remained calm and clear.
44:24I bribed the witch. I was the one who told Korra the medicine could temporarily restore your strength.
44:29Selina.
44:30His lips trembled.
44:31So it was you all along. Why? Just because of what happened in the previous life?
44:34That's right. A blood Jetsby repays. Some debts can only be settled with a life.
44:40But they're all alive now, aren't they? He asked in confusion.
44:43They're alive.
44:44I stood and looked down at him.
44:45But what you did can never be erased. The pain was real. It already happened, and you have to pay
44:50for it.
44:50I turned away. Kael leaned against the nearby tree, waiting for it.
44:54Morning sunlight filtered through the leaves, scattering broken patches of light across it.
44:58When he saw me approaching, he asked nothing. He simply held out his hand naturally. I placed mine in his.
45:04Is it over?
45:05Yes. It's over.
45:06Hand in hand, we walked deeper into the territory. Sunlight gradually pierced through the fog, illuminating the road ahead.
45:13Behind us, the cabin door slowly closed. And Lucian, like a lone wolf cast out from the pack, spent the
45:19rest of his life rotting away in regret and decay.
