Short filmTranscript
00:00:17Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies, my Alpha Cain had an affair
00:00:22with his mistress Beta, the day before our mating ceremony.
00:00:26He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing, unaware that I had awakened,
00:00:32and could clearly perceive every betrayal we uttered.
00:00:37Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.
00:00:43In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.
00:00:46The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too
00:00:51long.
00:00:52Good.
00:00:53My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.
00:00:58Rest assured, no one will question it, we'll simulate a death by silver.
00:01:03No wolf survives that kind of damage.
00:01:06Only then, did I let out a slow breath.
00:01:10After confirming the remaining details, I hung up and pushed open the door to the private room.
00:01:16The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.
00:01:20Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.
00:01:24The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Cain.
00:01:29Cain, seated at the center, rose immediately.
00:01:33His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern.
00:01:38His voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.
00:01:42My little wolf, where did you go?
00:01:45I can smell fear on you.
00:01:47He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze,
00:01:51and forced down the bitterness rising in my chest.
00:01:55I shook my head.
00:01:57I'm fine.
00:01:58Let's just keep going.
00:02:00Still holding my hand, Cain led me back to my seat.
00:02:04The room gradually came back to life, until someone spoke up.
00:02:08Cain, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond.
00:02:13So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?
00:02:15My nails dug into my palm.
00:02:18Being the useless one who couldn't shift, I'd long since gotten used to names like that.
00:02:24But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Cain.
00:02:32Someone beside the speaker nudged him.
00:02:35Hey, watch it. Your Luna's right here.
00:02:38He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.
00:02:41What's the problem?
00:02:43It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.
00:02:47I'm just curious how Cain plans to deal with his little bitch.
00:02:51All eyes turned to Cain.
00:02:53A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.
00:02:57I'll keep her.
00:02:58He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.
00:03:04She's just a pet I keep around.
00:03:06My only mate is Aria.
00:03:08He smirked faintly.
00:03:10But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.
00:03:14So I've kept it well hidden.
00:03:17Even after the mate bond, I won't let her find out.
00:03:22His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.
00:03:27Watch your mouths.
00:03:28If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.
00:03:33These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked them.
00:03:38If anything, they sounded amused.
00:03:41Cain's got it bad.
00:03:43Can't even let his little toy get exposed.
00:03:46Well, she can't shift. Figures she'd be fragile.
00:03:50Someone's eyes lit up. Curiosity getting the better of him.
00:03:55Cain, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at home?
00:04:04Cain chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.
00:04:07Of course. It's been wild.
00:04:13The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.
00:04:17Cain really knows how to play!
00:04:20A useless one like that? Easy to fool.
00:04:24Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.
00:04:30Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.
00:04:35Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.
00:04:40No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.
00:04:44My knuckles had gone white. No one knew.
00:04:47Three days ago, I had my awakening.
00:04:52And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.
00:04:56I would never complete a mate bond with Cain.
00:05:00On the day of the ceremony,
00:05:01the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.
00:05:06A fake one.
00:05:08Cain glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.
00:05:12My little wolf, why aren't you eating?
00:05:16I looked at him.
00:05:17At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern,
00:05:22and forced a faint smile.
00:05:25What were you all talking about that got you so excited?
00:05:28Cain smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
00:05:34They were just saying they envy envy our bond.
00:05:37That will be the most devoted pair there is.
00:05:41Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.
00:05:45I caught every single one of them, the mockery, the cruelty.
00:05:49It burned.
00:05:52My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver, the pain sharp enough to cut through bone.
00:05:58They had been talking about him and that woman, yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.
00:06:05Cain, I never realized you could lie so easily.
00:06:10I set my silver fork down and stood. I didn't want to hear another word of it.
00:06:16The moment I moved to leave, Cain was on his feet, a flicker of panic crossing his face.
00:06:22Little wolf, what's wrong?
00:06:25I shook my head. My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.
00:06:31I'm tired. I want to go back to the pack house.
00:06:36I didn't wait for his response. I turned and walked out.
00:06:41Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.
00:06:46A mating display was playing.
00:06:48Aria, be my mate. The words stretched across the center in bold, impossible to miss letters.
00:06:58People passing by slowed down, their voices full of envy.
00:07:05Oh my god, I heard Alpha Cain's girl can't shift so he rented the biggest screen in the city just
00:07:10so
00:07:10she could clearly see the words, be my mate. That's insanely romantic.
00:07:16He treats that girl so well. After the mate bond, he's going to be the perfect alpha.
00:07:23I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.
00:07:30A week ago, I would have reacted the same way. I would have believed in Cain's love without question.
00:07:38I was born into a declining pack. From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.
00:07:46Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace. A failure. Cain entered my life under those
00:07:55circumstances. He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.
00:08:00But I had seen this kind of attention before. Cruel games disguised as affection. So I avoided him.
00:08:10Ninety-nine times he confessed. Ninety-nine times I turned him down.
00:08:16Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked. He threw himself over me without hesitation.
00:08:22Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move. He held his position,
00:08:29shielding me with his body. When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak,
00:08:35he could barely maintain human form. And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me,
00:08:41was reach out and gently touch my face. My little wolf, as long as you're safe.
00:08:48That was the moment everything changed. For the first time, I believed that even someone like me,
00:08:55someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking everything for. The walls around my heart cracked
00:09:01open for him. The wound from the Silver never fully healed. It left behind a permanent circular scar.
00:09:10Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
00:09:16For five years, he never wavered. He treated me with the same devotion,
00:09:22the same care, as if I were the only one who mattered.
00:09:28Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.
00:09:34And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real. Something more.
00:09:41I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the
00:09:47mate ritual. If it failed, I would have died. But I survived. Not only that, I gained something rare.
00:09:57Empathic sense. I decided to keep it a secret. I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
00:10:05But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart. Through that new ability, I sensed him.
00:10:13Cain. Talking to his beta pet. Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.
00:10:22That was when I learned the truth. He had already betrayed our bond. For an entire year. And I had
00:10:30known
00:10:30nothing. A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around
00:10:37myself. His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again. Even with the mate ceremony
00:10:45approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship. Did he really think I was so worthless
00:10:51that he could deceive me forever? The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless. But my mind had
00:11:00never been clearer. I would show Cain the truth. Lies don't last forever. And I would never forgive betrayal.
00:11:08I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest. Just as I was about to head back,
00:11:16a pair of strong
00:11:17arms wrapped around me from behind. Cain's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar and thick with
00:11:25possessiveness. It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to breathe. Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me?
00:11:32Are you? Are you in a bad mood today? Then let me take you to see your mate dress. The
00:11:39custom piece
00:11:40just arrived. He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to the back of my neck, gently stroking
00:11:47the spot where his marking remained. I don't feel like going. Just pick it yourself.
00:11:56I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony. There was no reason for me to wear a
00:12:02mate dress.
00:12:03Cain seemed to sense the distance in my tone. His voice softened, almost cautious.
00:12:10Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?
00:12:15Do you not want to bond with me anymore?
00:12:18I looked at him. At the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes. I almost told him the truth.
00:12:25Yes, I don't want this anymore. You were the one who betrayed us first. You were the one who
00:12:32dragged our bond through the dirt. You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that
00:12:37ceremony. And now you're asking me why? But I wasn't ready to expose everything, not yet.
00:12:46At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside,
00:12:50an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress prepared in advance.
00:12:55Miss, the gown Alpha Cain had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.
00:12:59Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.
00:13:03The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous. Moonstones were set into the bodice,
00:13:10casting a soft, sacred glow. Cain wrapped an arm around my waist.
00:13:15My little wolf, do you like it?
00:13:19I couldn't deny it. The design was exactly my taste. But no matter how beautiful it was,
00:13:26it couldn't mend what had already been broken.
00:13:29Look closer, Cain said softly, at the center of the moonstone.
00:13:33I followed his gaze. Engraved deep within the gem were the letters. A and K, forever.
00:13:42The moon goddess is our witness. My love for you will last forever too.
00:13:48I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart. Then I turned to him,
00:13:55and met his eyes. Eyes filled with something that looked like love. Will your love for me really
00:14:03last forever? A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly. I Cain swear,
00:14:12swear that I will love Arya forever. For my entire life. If I break this oath,
00:14:19may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit. Such a solemn vow. And yet, it couldn't warm a
00:14:28heart
00:14:28that had already gone cold. He had already broken it. And still, he kept acting. Didn't he get tired?
00:14:38I turned my face away, unwilling to look at him any longer. Cain seemed about to say something else,
00:14:45but his phone suddenly rang. His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside
00:14:51to answer. When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.
00:14:57Little wolf, something urgent just came up. Go ahead and try the dress. If anything needs adjusting,
00:15:03just tell the staff. He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response. I watched his retreating
00:15:12figure, a bitter thought settling in. Cain had never walked away from me for pack business. And just
00:15:19before he left, I had caught it. That flicker in his eyes. Raw, instinctive desire. Work? Hardly.
00:15:31He was going to see her. When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.
00:15:38The slight dip in the mattress. The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla, and lingering scent,
00:15:45thick with unmistakable desire. The thought hit me all at once. Cain and that beta had been here,
00:15:52on this bed. Entwined. My stomach twisted violently. I rushed into the bathroom and threw up,
00:16:00unable to stop. Cain had just come back. The moment he saw me like that,
00:16:05panic. Panic flashed across his face. Little wolf, did you eat something bad? I'll call a healer right
00:16:12now. I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red. I'm fine. I just thought of something disgusting.
00:16:24Cain dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
00:16:30Don't think about things like that. Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
00:16:36I looked down at him, at the open collar of his shirt, and the marks on his skin. Bite marks,
00:16:44fresh,
00:16:45obvious. Another wave of nausea rose in my throat. How strong did Cain have to be to carry another
00:16:53woman's marks on his body and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about? His
00:16:59voice grew sharper,
00:17:01more agitated. Who did this to you? Who made Maid? My little wolf like this. Tell me. I'll tear them
00:17:11apart.
00:17:12A bitter smile tugged at my lips. Cain, you're the one who did this to me. Sometime deep into the
00:17:21night,
00:17:22I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl. Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching
00:17:29for the alpha beside me. But the bed was empty. I sat up and went downstairs. As I reached the
00:17:37second
00:17:37floor, I heard it. A woman's breathless voice. Soft, broken. I froze for a second, forcing down
00:17:47the sharp ache rising in my chest, then walked toward the guest room. The door was wide open.
00:17:53Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.
00:17:59Inside, Cain was bare from the waist up. The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown. The long skirt
00:18:07pushed up to her waist. Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him. Her cheeks were flushed as she
00:18:14clung to his neck, her voice unsteady. Alpha, the dress I just got today, you already torn it.
00:18:22Cain let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
00:18:28You wore it for me, didn't you? I even had the designer make one just for you.
00:18:36So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me? She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
00:18:45Alpha, I can't, I can't take ache anymore.
00:18:49Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
00:18:54What if Aria sees us? Cain stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
00:19:01She's useless. She doesn't understand anything. Don't you dare tell her about us.
00:19:06The beta traced circles against his chest, her tone soft, almost hurt.
00:19:12I know. I just... She's about to become your mate, and I'll always have to stay hidden.
00:19:21It makes me sad.
00:19:23Cain's expression softened slightly.
00:19:26You jealous little thing. I already brought you into this house. Isn't that enough?
00:19:32Don't worry. Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you. Whatever Aria has, you'll have too.
00:19:40Moonlight lit up my face, where I stood outside the door. I covered my mouth, but the tears were
00:19:47already falling, blurring everything. Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver
00:19:54blades, carving wound after wound into my chest. I turned and ran. Barefoot. Straight out into the
00:20:03rain. Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop. I just needed to get away. As far away as
00:20:11possible. Through the haze, I thought I saw him. A younger Cain. The one, I had once loved.
00:20:19His eyes were clear. Sincere. Filled with something real. Little Wolf. Leave him. Leave the man who
00:20:30doesn't love you anymore. And never forgive him. My vision burned as I looked at that memory. At the
00:20:37Alpha, I had once given my heart to. Okay. I whispered. I will leave you. And I will never forgive
00:20:48you.
00:20:50Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies. My Alpha Cain had an affair with his
00:20:56Mistress Beta the day before our mating ceremony. He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a
00:21:03thing, unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive every betrayal we uttered.
00:21:10Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.
00:21:16In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.
00:21:20The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too
00:21:25long.
00:21:26Good.
00:21:27My voice came out low. A restrained edge of something feral beneath it.
00:21:32Rest assured, no one will question it. We'll simulate a death by silver.
00:21:37No wolf survives that kind of damage.
00:21:40Only then, did I let out a slow breath. After confirming the remaining details, I hung up,
00:21:47and pushed open the door to the private room. The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.
00:21:54Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me. The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha
00:22:01Cain. Cain, seated at the center, rose immediately. His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled
00:22:10with concern. His voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.
00:22:15My little wolf, where did you go? I can smell fear on you.
00:22:21He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze, and forced down the
00:22:26bitterness rising in my chest. I shook my head.
00:22:30I'm fine. Let's just keep going.
00:22:33Still holding my hand, Cain led me back to my seat. The room gradually came back to life, until someone
00:22:40spoke up. Cain, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond. So what are you planning
00:22:47to

00:26:01Cain smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
00:26:08They were just saying they envy envy our bond. That will be the most devoted pair there is.
00:26:14Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks. I caught every single one of them. The
00:26:21mockery. The cruelty. It burned.
00:26:25My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver. The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.
00:26:32They had been talking about him and that woman, yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.
00:26:39Cain, I never realized you could lie so easily.
00:26:43I set my silver fork down and stood. I didn't want to hear another word of it.
00:26:50The moment I moved to leave, Cain was on his feet, a flicker of panic crossing his face.
00:26:56Little wolf, what's wrong?
00:26:59I shook my head. My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.
00:27:05I'm tired. I want to go back to the pack house.
00:27:09I didn't wait for his response. I turned and walked out. Out on the street, I looked up and saw
00:27:17the
00:27:17massive LED screen across the road. A mating display was playing. Aria, be my mate.
00:27:26The words stretched across the center in bold impossible to miss letters. People passing by slowed down,
00:27:34their voices full of envy.
00:27:38Oh my god, I heard Alpha Cain's girl can't shift, so he rented the biggest screen in the city just
00:27:44so she could clearly see the words, be my mate. That's insanely romantic.
00:27:50He treats that girl so well. After the mate bond, he's going to be the perfect alpha.
00:27:56I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.
00:28:04A week ago, I would have reacted the same way. I would have believed in Cain's love without question.
00:28:12I was born into a declining pack. From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.
00:28:20Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace. A failure. Cain entered my life under those
00:28:28circumstances. He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.
00:28:34But I had seen this kind of attention before. Cruel games disguised as affection. So I avoided him.
00:28:43Ninety-nine times he confessed. Ninety-nine times I turned him down.
00:28:50Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked. He threw himself over me without hesitation.
00:28:56Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move. He held his position,
00:29:02shielding me with his body. When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could
00:29:09barely maintain human form. And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me was reach out and
00:29:15gently touch my face. My little wolf, as long as you're safe. That was the moment everything changed.
00:29:25For the first time, I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift,
00:29:30could be worth risking everything for. The walls around my heart cracked open for him.
00:29:36The wound from the Silver never fully healed. It left behind a permanent circular scar.
00:29:43Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
00:29:50For five years, he never wavered. He treated me with the same devotion,
00:29:55the same care, as if I were the only one who mattered.
00:30:02Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.
00:30:08And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real. Something more.
00:30:14I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the
00:30:21mate ritual. If it failed, I would have died. But I survived. Not only that, I gained something rare.
00:30:31Empathic sense. I decided to keep it a secret. I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
00:30:39But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart. Through that new ability, I sensed him.
00:30:47Kane. Talking to his beta pet. Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.
00:30:55That was when I learned the truth. He had already betrayed our bond. For an entire year. And I had
00:31:03known
00:31:04nothing. A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around
00:31:11myself. His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again. Even with the mate ceremony
00:31:18approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship. Did he really think I was so worthless
00:31:25that he could deceive me forever? The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless. But my mind
00:31:33had never been clearer. I would show Kane the truth. Lies don't last forever. And I would never forgive
00:31:42betrayal. I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest. Just as I was about to head
00:31:49back,
00:31:50a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind. Kane's scent surrounded me at once,
00:31:56rich with cedar, and thick with possessiveness. It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to
00:32:03breathe. Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me? Are you in a bad mood today? Then let me take
00:32:10you to
00:32:10see your mate dress. The custom piece just arrived. He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to
00:32:18the back of my neck, gently stroking the spot where his marking remained. I don't feel like going.
00:32:27Just pick it yourself. I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony. There was no reason for
00:32:35me to
00:32:35wear a mate dress. Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone. His voice softened, almost cautious.
00:32:44Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all? Do you not
00:32:49want to bond with me anymore? I looked at him, at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes. I
00:32:57almost told
00:32:58him the truth. Yes, I don't want this anymore. You were the one who betrayed us first. You were the
00:33:05one
00:33:05who dragged our bond through the dirt. You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that
00:33:11ceremony. And now you're asking me why? But I wasn't ready to expose everything, not yet. At the dress
00:33:21boutique, the moment we stepped inside, an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress prepared
00:33:27in advance. Miss, the gown alpha Kane had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived. Please let us know if
00:33:34you'd like any alterations. The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous. Moonstones were set
00:33:42into the bodice, casting a soft, sacred glow. Kane wrapped an arm around my waist. My little wolf,
00:33:50do you like it? I couldn't deny it. The design was exactly my taste. But no matter how beautiful it
00:33:59was,
00:33:59it couldn't mend what had already been broken. Look closer, Kane said softly, at the center of the
00:34:06moonstone. I followed his gaze. Engraved deep within the gem were the letters. A and K, forever.
00:34:16The moon goddess is our witness. My love for you will last forever too. I stared at the stone,
00:34:24at the tiny letters carved into its heart. Then I turned to him and met his eyes. Eyes filled with
00:34:32something that looked like love. Will your love for me really last forever?
00:34:40A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly. I Kane swear, swear that I will
00:34:47love Arya forever. For my entire life. If I break this oath, may the moon goddess strip me of my
00:34:55wolf
00:34:55spirit. Such a solemn vow. And yet, it couldn't warm a heart that had already gone cold. He had already
00:35:06broken it. And still, he kept acting. Didn't he get tired? I turned my face away, unwilling to look at
00:35:15him any longer. Kane seemed about to say something else. But his phone suddenly rang. His expression
00:35:22shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer. When he returned, there was a trace of
00:35:28apology on his face. Little wolf, something urgent just came up. Go ahead and try the dress. If anything
00:35:36needs adjusting, just tell the staff. He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.
00:35:43I watched his retreating figure, a bitter thought settling in. Kane had never walked away from me for
00:35:51pack business. And just before he left, I had caught it. That flicker in his eyes. Raw, instinctive desire.
00:36:03Work? Hardly. He was going to see her. When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.
00:36:11The slight dip in the mattress. The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla and lingering scent, thick with
00:36:19unmistakable desire. The thought hit me all at once. Kane and that beta had been here, on this bed.
00:36:27Entwined. My stomach twisted violently. I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop.
00:36:35Kane had just come back. The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.
00:36:42Little wolf, did you eat something bad? I'll call a healer right now.
00:36:48I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red. I'm fine. I just thought of something disgusting.
00:36:57Kane dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
00:37:04Don't think about things like that. Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
00:37:10I looked down at him, at the open collar of his shirt, and the marks on his skin. Bite marks,
00:37:18fresh, obvious.
00:37:20Another wave of nausea rose in my throat. How strong did Kane have to be to carry another
00:37:26woman's marks on his body, and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?
00:37:32His voice grew sharper, more agitated. Who did this to you? Who made Maid? My little wolf like this.
00:37:42Tell me. I'll tear them apart. A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
00:37:50Kane, you're the one who did this to me. Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of
00:37:57a low,
00:37:58restrained growl. Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the alpha beside me.
00:38:04But the bed was empty. I sat up and went downstairs. As I reached the second floor, I heard it.
00:38:13A woman's
00:38:14breathless voice. Soft, broken. I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest,
00:38:23then walked toward the guest room. The door was wide open. Moonlight spilled across the room,
00:38:29illuminating two bodies tangled together. Inside, Kane was bare from the waist up.
00:38:36The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown. The long skirt pushed up to her waist. Her pale legs were
00:38:43wrapped tightly around him. Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck, her voice unsteady.
00:38:50Alpha, the dress I just got today, you already torn it.
00:38:55Kane let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
00:39:01You wore it for me, didn't you? I even had the designer make one just for you.
00:39:09So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?
00:39:13She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
00:39:19Alpha, I can't, I can't take ache anymore.
00:39:23Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
00:39:27What if Aria sees us?
00:39:30Kane stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
00:39:34She's useless. She doesn't understand anything. Don't you dare tell her about us.
00:39:40The beta traced circles against his chest, her tone soft, almost hurt.
00:39:45I know. I just… She's about to become your mate, and I'll always have to stay hidden. It makes me
00:39:55sad.
00:39:57Kane's expression softened slightly.
00:40:00You jealous little thing. I already brought you into this house. Isn't that enough?
00:40:06Don't worry. Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you. Whatever Aria has, you'll have too.
00:40:14Moonlight lit up my face, where I stood outside the door.
00:40:18I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.
00:40:24Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades, carving wound after wound into my chest.
00:40:32I turned and ran, barefoot, straight out into the rain. Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.
00:40:41I just needed to get away, as far away as possible. Through the haze, I thought I saw him.
00:40:48A younger Kane, the one I had once loved. His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.
00:40:59Little Wolf, leave him. Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore, and never forgive him.
00:41:07My vision burned, as I looked at that memory. At the Alpha, I had once given my heart to…
00:41:14Okay. I whispered.
00:41:17I will leave you, and I will never forgive you.
00:41:24Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies. My Alpha Kane had an affair with his
00:41:30Mistress Beta, the day before our mating ceremony. He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a
00:41:37thing, unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive every betrayal we uttered.
00:41:44Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.
00:41:50In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.
00:41:53The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too
00:41:59long.
00:42:00Good.
00:42:00My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.
00:42:05Rest assured, no one will question it. We'll simulate a death by silver. No wolf survives that kind of damage.
00:42:14Only then, did I let out a slow breath. After confirming the remaining details, I hung up,
00:42:21and pushed open the door, to the private room. The noise inside died the instant I stepped in.
00:42:27Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me.
00:42:32The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Cain.
00:42:36Cain, seated at the center, rose immediately. His long fingers closed around my hand,
00:42:43his eyes filled with concern. His voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.
00:42:49My little wolf, where did you go? I can smell fear on you.
00:42:54He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze,
00:42:59and forced down the bitterness rising in my chest. I shook my head.
00:43:04I'm fine. Let's just keep going.
00:43:07Still holding my hand, Cain led me back to my seat. The room gradually came back to life,
00:43:13until someone spoke up.
00:43:16Cain, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond.
00:43:20So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?
00:43:22My nails dug into my palm. Being the useless one who couldn't shift. I'd long since gotten used to
00:43:30names like that. But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Cain.
00:43:39Someone beside the speaker nudged him.
00:43:42Hey, watch it. Your Luna's right here.
00:43:45He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.
00:43:48What's the problem? It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.
00:43:54I'm just curious how Cain plans to deal with his little bitch.
00:43:58All eyes turned to Cain. A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.
00:44:04I'll keep her.
00:44:06He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.
00:44:11She's just a pet I keep around. My only mate is Aria.
00:44:16He smirked faintly.
00:44:17But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.
00:44:21So I've kept it well hidden.
00:44:24Even after the mate bond, I won't let her find out.
00:44:29His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.
00:44:33Watch your mouths. If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.
00:44:40These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked them.
00:44:45If anything, they sounded amused.
00:44:49Cain's got it bad. Can't even let his little toy get exposed.
00:44:53Well, she can't shift. Figures she'd be fragile.
00:44:57Someone's eyes lit up. Curiosity getting the better of him.
00:45:01Cain, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at home?
00:45:11Cain chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.
00:45:15Of course. It's been... wild.
00:45:20The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.
00:45:24Cain really knows how to play!
00:45:28A useless one like that? Easy to fool. Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.
00:45:37Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.
00:45:43They're laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.
00:45:47No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.
00:45:51My knuckles had gone white. No one knew.
00:45:54Three days ago, I had my awakening.
00:45:59And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.
00:46:03I would never complete a mate bond with Cain.
00:46:07On the day of the ceremony, the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.
00:46:13A fake one.
00:46:15Cain glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.
00:46:20My little wolf, why aren't you eating?
00:46:23I looked at him.
00:46:25At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern and forced a faint smile.
00:46:31What were you all talking about that got you so excited?
00:46:36Cain smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
00:46:41They were just saying they envy envy our bond.
00:46:44That will be the most devoted pair there is.
00:46:48Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.
00:46:52I caught every single one of them. The mockery. The cruelty. It burned.
00:46:59My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver. The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.
00:47:05They had been talking about him and that woman. Yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.
00:47:13Cain, I never realized you could lie so easily.
00:47:17Cain, I set my silver fork down and stood. I didn't want to hear another word of it.
00:47:23The moment I moved to leave, Cain was on his feet, a flicker of panic crossing his face.
00:47:29Little wolf, what's wrong?
00:47:32I shook my head. My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.
00:47:38I'm tired. I want to go back to the pack house.
00:47:43I didn't wait for his response. I turned and walked out.
00:47:48Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.
00:47:54A mating display was playing.
00:47:56Aria, be my mate.
00:47:59The words stretched across the center in bold impossible to miss letters.

00:50:02someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking everything for.
00:50:06The walls around my heart cracked open for him. The wound from the silver never fully healed.
00:50:13It left behind a permanent circular scar. Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that
00:50:20felt
00:50:21dangerously close to love. For five years, he never wavered. He treated me with the same devotion,
00:50:29the same care, as if I were the only one who mattered.
00:50:35Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate. And for that

00:54:32beautiful it was, it couldn't mend what had already been broken. Look closer, Cain said softly, at the
00:54:39center of the moonstone. I followed his gaze. Engraved deep within the gem were the letters. A and K,
00:54:48forever. The moon goddess is our witness. My love for you will last forever too.
00:54:56I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart. Then I turned to him,
00:55:03and met his eyes. Eyes filled with something that looked like love. Will your love for me really last
00:55:10forever? A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly. I Cain swear, swear that I will
00:55:20love Arya forever. For my entire life. If I break this oath, may the moon goddess strip me of my
00:55:29wolf
00:55:29spirit. Such a solemn vow. And yet, it couldn't warm a heart that had already gone cold. He had already
00:55:39broken it. And still, he kept acting. Didn't he get tired? I turned my face away, unwilling to look at
00:55:49him any longer. Cain seemed about to say something else. But his phone suddenly rang. His expression
00:55:55shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer. When he returned, there was a trace of
00:56:02apology on his face. Little wolf, something urgent just came up. Go ahead and try the dress. If anything
00:56:10needs adjusting, just tell the staff. He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.
00:56:17I watched his retreating figure, a bitter thought settling in. Cain had never walked away from me for
00:56:24pack business. And just before he left, I had caught it. That flicker in his eyes. Raw, instinctive desire.
00:56:36Work? Hardly. He was going to see her.
00:56:40When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it. The slight dip in the mattress. The air
00:56:48carried a cloying mix of vanilla, and lingering scent, thick with unmistakable desire. The thought
00:56:55hit me all at once. Cain and that beta had been here, on this bed. Entwined. My stomach twisted
00:57:04violently. I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop. Cain had just come back. The
00:57:11moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face. Little wolf, did you eat something bad?
00:57:18I'll call a healer right now.
00:57:22I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red. I'm fine. I just thought of something disgusting.
00:57:31Cain dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
00:57:37Don't think about things like that. Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
00:57:44I looked down at him. At the open collar of his shirt. And the marks on his skin. Bite marks,
00:57:51fresh,
00:57:52obvious. Another wave of nausea rose in my throat. How strong did Cain have to be to carry another
00:58:00woman's marks on his body, and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?
00:58:06His voice grew sharper, more agitated. Who did this to you? Who made Maid? My little wolf like this.
00:58:16Tell me. I'll tear them apart. A bitter smile tugged at my lips. Cain, you're the one who did this
00:58:26to me.
00:58:27Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl. Half asleep,
00:58:34I reached out, instinctively searching for the alpha beside me. But the bed was empty. I sat up and went
00:58:42downstairs. As I reached the second floor, I heard it. A woman's breathless voice. Soft, broken. I froze
00:58:52for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest, then walked toward the guest room. The door
00:58:59was wide open. Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.
00:59:07Inside, Cain was bare from the waist up. The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown. The long skirt
00:59:14pushed up to her waist. Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him. Her cheeks were flushed as she
00:59:21clung to his neck, her voice unsteady. Alpha, the dress I just got today. You already torn it.
00:59:30Cain let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
00:59:34You... You wore it for me, didn't you? I even had the designer make one just for you.
00:59:43So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me? She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
00:59:51Alpha, I can't... I can't take ache anymore. Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
01:00:01What if Aria sees us? Cain stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
01:00:08She's useless. She doesn't understand anything. Don't you dare tell her about us.
01:00:13The beta traced circles against his chest, her tone soft, almost hurt.
01:00:19I know. I just... She's about to become your mate, and I'll always have to stay hidden.
01:00:28It makes me sad. Cain's expression softened slightly.
01:00:33You jealous little thing. I already brought you into this house. Isn't that enough?
01:00:39Don't worry. Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you. Whatever area has, you'll have too.
01:00:47Moonlight lit up my face, where I stood outside the door. I covered my mouth, but the tears were
01:00:55already falling, blurring everything. Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver
01:01:02blades, carving wound after wound into my chest. I turned and ran.
01:01:08Barefoot, straight out into the rain. Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop. I just needed
01:01:16to get away. As far away as possible. Through the haze, I thought I saw him. A younger Cain. The
01:01:24one
01:01:25I had once loved. His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.
01:01:32Little wolf, leave him. Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore. And never forgive him.
01:01:40My vision burned as I looked at that memory. At the alpha, I had once given my heart too.
01:01:48Okay. I whispered. I will leave you. And I will never forgive you.
01:01:57Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies. My alpha Cain had an affair with his
01:02:03mistress, Beta, the day before our mating ceremony. He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch,
01:02:09couldn't hear a thing, unaware that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive every betrayal we uttered.
01:02:17Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged the fake death scene exactly as you requested.
01:02:23In ten days, your death will be revealed at mate ceremony.
01:02:27The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too
01:02:32long.
01:02:33Good.
01:02:34My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.
01:02:39Rest assured, no one will question it. We'll simulate a death by silver. No wolf survives that kind of damage.
01:02:47Only then, did I let out a slow breath. After confirming the remaining details,
01:02:53I hung up and pushed open the door to the private room. The noise inside died the instant I stepped
01:03:00in.
01:03:01Every wolf there could catch the faint pine scent clinging to me. The unmistakable mate mark left
01:03:07by alpha Cain. Cain, seated at the center, rose immediately. His long fingers closed around my
01:03:16hand, his eyes filled with concern. His voice dropped, rough with alpha authority.
01:03:22My little wolf, where did you go? I can smell fear on you.
01:03:27He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze and forced down the
01:03:34bitterness rising in my chest. I shook my head. I'm fine. Let's just keep going.
01:03:40Still holding my hand, Cain led me back to my seat. The room gradually came back to life,
01:03:47until someone spoke up. Cain, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond.
01:03:53So what are you planning to do with your little beta pet?
01:03:56My nails dug into my palm. Being the useless one who couldn't shift. I'd long since gotten used to
01:04:03names like that. But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Cain.
01:04:18He just shrugged, completely unconcerned. What's the problem? It's not like the useless one
01:04:25understands the werewolf kind language anyway. I'm just curious how Cain plans to deal with his
01:04:30little bitch. All eyes turned to Cain. A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.
01:04:37I'll keep her. He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.
01:04:45She's just a pet I keep around. My only mate is Aria. He smirked faintly.
01:04:51But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run. So I've kept it well hidden.
01:04:58Even after the mate bond, I won't let her find out. His gaze swept across the room,
01:05:04a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air. Watch your mouths. If anyone slips up in front of her,
01:05:11I'll tear you apart. These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked
01:05:18them. If anything, they sounded amused. Cain's got it bad. Can't even let his little toy get exposed.
01:05:26Well, she can't shift. Figures she'd be fragile. Someone's eyes lit up. Curiosity getting the better
01:05:34of him. Cain, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet, have you ever, you know, at
01:05:44home?
01:05:44Cain chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger. Of course. It's been... wild.
01:05:54The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls. Cain really knows how to play!
01:06:01A useless one like that? Easy to fool. Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.
01:06:11Man, I'd love to see that wild cat's face when she finds out.
01:06:16Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious. No one noticed how tightly I was gripping
01:06:23my silver fork. My knuckles had gone white. No one knew. Three days ago, I had my awakening.
01:06:33And no one knew that I had already decided to leave. I would never complete a mate bond with Cain.
01:06:41On the day of the ceremony, the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.
01:06:47A fake one. Cain glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.
01:06:53My little wolf, why aren't you eating?
01:06:57I looked at him. At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern
01:07:03and forced a faint smile. What were you all talking about that got you so excited?
01:07:09Cain smiled softly and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
01:07:15They were just saying they envy envy our bond. That will be the most devoted pair there is.
01:07:22Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks. I caught every single one of them. The
01:07:28mockery. The cruelty. It burned.
01:07:32My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver. The pain sharp enough to cut through bone.
01:07:39They had been talking about him and that woman, yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.
01:07:46Cain, I never realized you could lie so easily. I set my silver fork down and stood. I didn't want
01:07:55to hear another word of it. The moment I moved to leave, Cain was on his feet, a flicker of
01:08:01panic
01:08:01crossing his face. Little wolf, what's wrong? I shook my head. My voice came out soft, barely more than a
01:08:10breath.
01:08:12I'm tired. I want to go back to the pack house. I didn't wait for his response. I turned and
01:08:20walked out.
01:08:20Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road. A mating display was
01:08:29playing. Aria, be my mate. The words stretched across the center in bold impossible to miss letters.
01:08:39People passing by slowed down, their voices full of envy.
01:08:46Oh my god, I heard Alpha Cain's girl can't shift, so he rented the biggest screen in the city just
01:08:51so
01:08:51she could clearly see the words, be my mate. That's insanely romantic. He treats that girl so well.
01:08:59After the mate bond, he's going to be the perfect alpha.
01:09:03I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile. A week ago,
01:09:12I would have reacted the same way. I would have believed in Cain's love without question.
01:09:19I was born into a declining pack. From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift. Among the
01:09:28werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace. A failure. Cain entered my life under those circumstances.
01:09:37He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly. But I had seen this kind of
01:09:43attention before. Cruel games disguised as affection. So I avoided him. 99 times he confessed. 99 times I
01:09:55turned him down. Until the nightly Silver Hunters attacked. He threw himself over me without hesitation.
01:10:03Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move. He held his position,
01:10:10shielding me with his body. When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely
01:10:16maintain human form. And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me, was reach out and gently touch
01:10:23my face.
01:10:25My little wolf, as long as you're safe.
01:10:29That was the moment everything changed. For the first time, I believed that even someone like me,
01:10:36someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking everything for. The walls around my heart cracked open
01:10:42for him. The wound from the Silver never fully healed. It left behind a permanent circular scar.
01:10:51Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
01:10:57For five years, he never wavered. He treated me with the same devotion, the same care, as if I were
01:11:05the only
01:11:05one who mattered. Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.
01:11:15And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real. Something more.
01:11:21I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the mate
01:11:28ritual. If it failed, I would have died. But I survived. Not only that, I gained something rare.
01:11:38Empathic sense. I decided to keep it a secret. I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
01:11:46But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart. Through that new ability, I sensed him.
01:11:54Kane. Talking to his beta pet. Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.
01:12:03That was when I learned the truth. He had already betrayed our bond. For an entire year.
01:12:09And I had known nothing. A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and
01:12:17wrap my arms around myself. His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again. Even with
01:12:25the mate ceremony approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship. Did he really think I
01:12:31was so worthless that he could deceive me forever? The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless.
01:12:39But my mind had never been clearer. I would show Kane the truth. Lies don't last forever.
01:12:47And I would never forgive betrayal. I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest.
01:12:54Just as I was about to head back, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
01:13:01Kane's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar, and thick with possessiveness. It pressed in from all
01:13:08sides, leaving no space to breathe. Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me? Are you in a bad mood
01:13:15today?
01:13:16Then let me take you to see your mate dress. The custom piece just arrived.
01:13:22He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to the back of my neck, gently stroking the spot
01:13:28where his
01:13:29marking remained. I don't feel like going. Just pick it yourself.
01:13:37I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony. There was no reason for me to wear a
01:13:42mate dress.
01:13:44Kane seemed to sense the distance in my tone. His voice softened, almost cautious.
01:13:51Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all? Do you not want
01:13:57to
01:13:57bond with me anymore? I looked at him, at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes. I almost told
01:14:05him the
01:14:05truth. Yes, I don't want this anymore. You were the one who betrayed us first. You were the one who
01:14:13dragged our bond through the dirt. You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.
01:14:19And now you're asking me why? But I wasn't ready to expose everything, not yet.
01:14:27At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside, an attendant drew back a curtain to
01:14:33reveal the mate dress prepared in advance. Miss, the gown Alpha Kane had blessed by the
01:14:39Moon Goddess has arrived. Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.
01:14:44The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous. Moonstones were set into the bodice, casting a soft,
01:14:52sacred glow. Kane wrapped an arm around my waist. My little wolf, do you like it?
01:14:59I couldn't deny it. The design was exactly my taste. But no matter how beautiful it was,
01:15:06it couldn't mend what had already been broken. Look closer, Kane said softly, at the center of the
01:15:14Moonstone. I followed his gaze. Engraved deep within the gem were the letters. A and K, forever.
01:15:23The Moon Goddess is our witness. My love for you will last forever, too.
01:15:29I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart. Then I turned to him,
01:15:36and met his eyes. Eyes filled with something that looked like love.
01:15:42Will your love for me really last forever?
01:15:47A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.
01:15:51I Kane swear, swear that I will love Arya forever. For my entire life.
01:15:59If I break this oath, may the Moon Goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.
01:16:04Such a solemn vow. And yet, it couldn't warm a heart that had already gone cold. He had already
01:16:13broken it. And still, he kept acting. Didn't he get tired?
01:16:19I turned my face away, unwilling to look at him any longer. Kane seemed about to say something else,
01:16:26but his phone suddenly rang. His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer.
01:16:33When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.
01:16:38Little Wolf, something urgent just came up. Go ahead and try the dress. If anything needs adjusting,
01:16:44just tell the staff. He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.
01:16:51I watched his retreating figure, a bitter thought settling in. Kane had never walked away from me for
01:16:58pack business. And just before he left, I had caught it. That flicker in his eyes. Raw, instinctive desire.
01:17:10Work? Hardly. He was going to see her. When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.
01:17:18The slight dip in the mattress. The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla, and lingering scent,
01:17:26thick with unmistakable desire. The thought hit me all at once. Kane and that Beta had been here,
01:17:33on this bed. Entwined. My stomach twisted violently. I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to
01:17:41stop. Kane had just come back. The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.
01:17:49Little Wolf, did you eat something bad? I'll call a healer right now.
01:17:56I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red. I'm fine. I just thought of something disgusting.
01:18:04Kane dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
01:18:11Don't think about things like that. Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
01:18:17I looked down at him. At the open collar of his shirt. And the marks on his skin. Bite marks,
01:18:25fresh, obvious. Another wave of nausea rose in my throat. How strong did Kane have to be to carry
01:18:33another woman's marks on his body, and still look at me like I was the only one he cared about?
01:18:39His voice grew sharper, more agitated. Who did this to you? Who made Maid? My little wolf like this.
01:18:50Tell me. I'll tear them apart. A bitter smile tugged at my lips. Kane, you're the one who did this
01:19:00to me.
01:19:01Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl.
01:19:07Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the alpha beside me. But the bed was empty.
01:19:14I sat up and went downstairs. As I reached the second floor, I heard it. A woman's breathless voice.
01:19:23Soft, broken. I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest,
01:19:30then walked toward the guest room. The door was wide open. Moonlight spilled across the room,
01:19:37illuminating two bodies tangled together. Inside, Kane was bare from the waist up.
01:19:44The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown. The long skirt pushed up to her waist. Her pale legs were
01:19:50wrapped tightly around him. Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck, her voice unsteady.
01:19:58Alpha, the dress I just got today. You already torn it.
01:20:03Kane let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
01:20:10You... You wore it for me, didn't you? I even had the designer make one just for you.
01:20:17So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?
01:20:20She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
01:20:25Alpha, I can't... I can't take ache anymore.
01:20:31Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
01:20:35What if Aria sees us?
01:20:37Kane stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
01:20:41She's useless. She doesn't understand anything. Don't you dare tell her about us.
01:20:47The beta traced circles against his chest. Her tone soft, almost hurt.
01:20:53I know. I just... She's about to become your mate. And I'll always have to stay hidden.
01:21:01It makes me sad.
01:21:04Kane's expression softened slightly.
01:21:07You jealous little thing. I already brought you into this house. Isn't that enough?
01:21:13Don't worry. Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you. Whatever area has, you'll have too.
01:21:21Moonlight lit up my face, where I stood outside the door.
01:21:25I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.
01:21:31Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades, carving wound after wound into my chest.
01:21:39I turned and ran, barefoot, straight out into the rain. Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.
01:21:48I just needed to get away, as far away as possible. Through the haze, I thought I saw him. A
01:21:56younger Kane.
01:21:57The one I had once loved. His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.
01:22:06Little Wolf. Leave him. Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore. And never forgive him.
01:22:14My vision burned, as I looked at that memory. At the Alpha, I had once given my heart to.
01:22:22Okay. I whispered.
01:22:24Okay. I will leave you. And I will never forgive you.
01:22:35I will never forgive you.
01:22:35I will never forgive you.
01:22:35Bye-bye.
01:22:36Bye-bye.
01:22:36Bye-bye.
