Transcript
00:00:00Five years into our marriage, it all turned out to be lies. My Alpha Cain had an affair with his
00:00:05mistress Beta the day before our mating ceremony. He assumed I, being a wolfless wretch, couldn't hear a thing, unaware
00:00:14that I had awakened, and could clearly perceive every betrayal we uttered.
00:00:19Luna, we've prepared the substitute blood and staged a fake death scene exactly as you requested. In ten days, your
00:00:27death will be revealed at mate ceremony.
00:00:29The voice on the other end finally took the edge off the anger I'd been holding back for far too
00:00:34long.
00:00:35Good.
00:00:36My voice came out low, a restrained edge of something feral beneath it.
00:00:41Rest assured, no one will question it. We'll simulate a death by silver. No wolf survives that kind of damage.
00:00:49Only then did I let out a slow breath. After confirming the remaining details, I hung up and pushed open
00:00:57the door to the private room. The noise inside died the instant I stepped in. Every wolf there could catch
00:01:05the faint pine scent clinging to me. The unmistakable mate mark left by Alpha Cain.
00:01:12Cain, seated at the center, rose immediately. His long fingers closed around my hand, his eyes filled with concern. His
00:01:21voice dropped, rough with Alpha authority.
00:01:25My little wolf, where did you go? I can smell fear on you.
00:01:30He started to pull me away, but I caught the possessiveness in his gaze, and forced down the bitterness rising
00:01:37in my chest. I shook my head.
00:01:40I'm fine. Let's just keep going.
00:01:43Still holding my hand, Cain led me back to my seat. The room gradually came back to life, until someone
00:01:50spoke up.
00:01:50Cain, you and your wild cat are about to seal your mate bond. So what are you planning to do
00:01:57with your little beta pet?
00:01:58My nails dug into my palm. Being the useless one who couldn't shift, I'd long since gotten used to names
00:02:06like that.
00:02:07But I could still clearly smell another woman's scent, lingering on Cain.
00:02:15Someone beside the speaker nudged him.
00:02:18Hey, watch it. Your Luna's right here.
00:02:21He just shrugged, completely unconcerned.
00:02:24What's the problem? It's not like the useless one understands the werewolf kind language anyway.
00:02:30I'm just curious how Cain plans to deal with his little bitch.
00:02:34All eyes turned to Cain. A flicker of disdain passed through his gaze.
00:02:40I'll keep her.
00:02:42He peeled a shrimp and placed it into my bowl before continuing casually.
00:02:47She's just a pet I keep around. My only mate is Aria.
00:02:51He smirked faintly.
00:02:53But if my wild bot Aria ever found out the truth, she'd run.
00:02:57So I've kept it well hidden.
00:03:00Even after the mate bond, I won't let her find out.
00:03:05His gaze swept across the room, a surge of alpha pressure thickening the air.
00:03:09Watch your mouths. If anyone slips up in front of her, I'll tear you apart.
00:03:16These were all dominant alphas from the same circle, and none of this shocked them.
00:03:21If anything, they sounded amused.
00:03:24Cain's got it bad. Can't even let his little toy get exposed.
00:03:28Well, she can't shift. Figures she'd be fragile.
00:03:33Someone's eyes lit up. Curiosity getting the better of him.
00:03:38Cain, if Aria can't sense anything, then you and that beta pet...
00:03:43Have you ever, you know, at home?
00:03:47Cain chuckled, idly spinning the ring on his finger.
00:03:51Of course. It's been... wild.
00:03:56The room erupted into crude laughter and wolfish howls.
00:04:00Cain really knows how to play!
00:04:03A useless one like that? Easy to fool.
00:04:07Bet the whole place is covered in your mess.
00:04:13Man, I'd love to see that wildcat's face when she finds out.
00:04:18Their laughter cut through the room, sharp and vicious.
00:04:23No one noticed how tightly I was gripping my silver fork.
00:04:26My knuckles had gone white.
00:04:29No one knew.
00:04:30Three days ago, I had my awakening.
00:04:35And no one knew that I had already decided to leave.
00:04:39I would never complete a mate bond with Cain.
00:04:42On the day of the ceremony, the only thing waiting for him would be a blood-soaked corpse.
00:04:49A fake one.
00:04:51Cain glanced at my untouched shrimp and immediately turned back to me.
00:04:55My little wolf, why aren't you eating?
00:04:59I looked at him.
00:05:00At the man whose eyes were filled with nothing but carefully crafted concern, and forced a faint smile.
00:05:08What were you all talking about that got you so excited?
00:05:10Cain smiled softly, and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.
00:05:17They were just saying they envy envy our bond.
00:05:19That will be the most devoted pair there is.
00:05:24Inside the private room, people exchanged knowing looks.
00:05:28I caught every single one of them.
00:05:30The mockery.
00:05:31The cruelty.
00:05:32It burned.
00:05:34My heart felt like it had been soaked in liquid silver, the pain sharp enough to cut through bone.
00:05:41They had been talking about him and that woman, yet somehow twisted it into admiration for what we had.
00:05:49Cain, I never realized you could lie so easily.
00:05:53I set my silver fork down and stood.
00:05:56I didn't want to hear another word of it.
00:05:58The moment I moved to leave, Cain was on his feet, a flicker of panic crossing his face.
00:06:05Little wolf, what's wrong?
00:06:08I shook my head.
00:06:10My voice came out soft, barely more than a breath.
00:06:14I'm tired.
00:06:16I want to go back to the pack house.
00:06:18I didn't wait for his response.
00:06:21I turned and walked out.
00:06:23Out on the street, I looked up and saw the massive LED screen across the road.
00:06:29A mating display was playing.
00:06:32Aria, be my mate.
00:06:35The words stretched across the center in bold, impossible-to-miss letters.
00:06:41People passing by slowed down, their voices full of envy.
00:06:47Oh my god, I heard Alpha Cain's girl can't shift, so he rented the biggest screen in the city just
00:06:53so she could clearly see the words,
00:06:54Be my mate?
00:06:56That's insanely romantic.
00:06:59He treats that girl so well.
00:07:01After the mate bond, he's going to be the perfect Alpha.
00:07:05I stood there, the subject of their admiration, and let out a quiet, self-mocking smile.
00:07:13A week ago, I would have reacted the same way.
00:07:17I would have believed in Cain's love without question.
00:07:21I was born into a declining pack.
00:07:24From the moment I came into this world, I couldn't shift.
00:07:28Among the werewolf kind, that made me a disgrace.
00:07:33A failure.
00:07:35Cain entered my life under those circumstances.
00:07:39He claimed it was love at first sight and pursued me relentlessly.
00:07:43But I had seen this kind of attention before.
00:07:47Cruel games disguised as affection.
00:07:50So I avoided him.
00:07:5299 times he confessed.
00:07:5599 times I turned him down.
00:07:59Until the night the Silver Hunters attacked.
00:08:02He threw himself over me without hesitation.
00:08:05Even when Silver pierced straight through his shoulder blade, he didn't move.
00:08:10He held his position, shielding me with his body.
00:08:14When he woke up in the hospital, his condition was so weak he could barely maintain human form.
00:08:20And yet, the first thing he did when he saw me was reach out and gently touch my face.
00:08:27My little wolf, as long as you're safe.
00:08:31That was the moment everything changed.
00:08:34For the first time, I believed that even someone like me, someone who couldn't shift, could be worth risking everything
00:08:41for.
00:08:41The walls around my heart cracked open for him.
00:08:45The wound from the silver never fully healed.
00:08:49It left behind a permanent circular scar.
00:08:52Every time I saw it, my heart would ache in a way that felt dangerously close to love.
00:08:59For five years, he never wavered.
00:09:02He treated me with the same devotion, the same care, as if I were the only one who mattered.
00:09:11Even when the pack opposed us, he stood his ground and asked me to be his mate.
00:09:17And for that upcoming ceremony, I wanted to give him something real.
00:09:22Something more.
00:09:24I risked my life to undergo blood awakening, just so I could truly experience his wild side during the mate
00:09:30ritual.
00:09:30If it failed, I would have died.
00:09:34But I survived.
00:09:36Not only that, I gained something rare.
00:09:40Empathic sense.
00:09:41I decided to keep it a secret.
00:09:44I wanted to surprise him on the day of the ceremony.
00:09:48But on the very day I awakened, everything fell apart.
00:09:52Through that new ability, I sensed him.
00:09:56Cain.
00:09:57Talking to his beta pet.
00:09:59Their voices were intimate, careless, filled with open flirtation.
00:10:04That was when I learned the truth.
00:10:07He had already betrayed our bond.
00:10:09For an entire year.
00:10:12And I had known nothing.
00:10:14A sharp pain twisted through my chest, forcing me to crouch down and wrap my arms around myself.
00:10:21His words from earlier echoed in my mind, over and over again.
00:10:26Even with the mate ceremony approaching, he had no intention of ending that relationship.
00:10:32Did he really think I was so worthless that he could deceive me forever?
00:10:37The winter wind cut through me, cold and merciless.
00:10:41But my mind had never been clearer.
00:10:44I would show Cain the truth.
00:10:46Lies don't last forever.
00:10:49And I would never forgive betrayal.
00:10:52I took a slow breath, forcing down the ache in my chest.
00:10:56Just as I was about to head back, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
00:11:03Cain's scent surrounded me at once, rich with cedar and thick with possessiveness.
00:11:08It pressed in from all sides, leaving no space to breathe.
00:11:13Little wolf, why didn't you wait for me?
00:11:15Are you in a bad mood today?
00:11:18Then let me take you to see your mate dress.
00:11:21The custom piece just arrived.
00:11:23He pulled me into his arms, his hands sliding up to the back of my neck, gently stroking the spot
00:11:30where his marking remained.
00:11:34I don't feel like going.
00:11:36I don't feel like going.
00:11:37Just pick it yourself.
00:11:39I would be gone on the day of the mate ceremony.
00:11:42There was no reason for me to wear a mate dress.
00:11:46Cain seemed to sense the distance in my tone.
00:11:49His voice softened, almost cautious.
00:11:53Little wolf, why does it feel like you're not excited about the mate bond at all?
00:11:57Do you not want to bond with me anymore?
00:12:01I looked at him, at the flicker of panic in his alpha eyes.
00:12:05I almost told him the truth.
00:12:08Yes, I don't want this anymore.
00:12:11You were the one who betrayed us first.
00:12:14You were the one who dragged our bond through the dirt.
00:12:16You were the one who destroyed any anticipation I had for that ceremony.
00:12:21And now you're asking me why?
00:12:24But I wasn't ready to expose everything, not yet.
00:12:29At the dress boutique, the moment we stepped inside, an attendant drew back a curtain to reveal the mate dress
00:12:36prepared in advance.
00:12:37Miss, the gown Alpha Cain had blessed by the moon goddess has arrived.
00:12:42Please let us know if you'd like any alterations.
00:12:46The dress was pure white, flowing and luminous.
00:12:50Moonstones were set into the bodice, casting a soft, sacred glow.
00:12:55So, Cain wrapped an arm around my waist.
00:12:58My little wolf, do you like it?
00:13:01I couldn't deny it.
00:13:03The design was exactly my taste.
00:13:06But no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't mend what had already been broken.
00:13:12Look closer, Cain said softly.
00:13:14At the center of the moonstone.
00:13:16I followed his gaze.
00:13:19Engraved deep within the gem were the letters.
00:13:22A and K, forever.
00:13:25The moon goddess is our witness.
00:13:28My love for you will last forever, too.
00:13:31I stared at the stone, at the tiny letters carved into its heart.
00:13:36Then I turned to him and met his eyes.
00:13:40Eyes filled with something that looked like love.
00:13:44Will your love for me really last forever?
00:13:48A flicker of unease crossed his face before he answered quickly.
00:13:53I, Cain, swear, swear that I will love Arya forever.
00:13:57For my entire life.
00:14:00If I break this oath, may the moon goddess strip me of my wolf spirit.
00:14:06Such a solemn vow.
00:14:08And yet, it couldn't warm a heart that had already gone cold.
00:14:13He had already broken it.
00:14:15And still, he kept acting.
00:14:18Didn't he get tired?
00:14:21I turned my face away, unwilling to look at him any longer.
00:14:25Cain seemed about to say something else, but his phone suddenly rang.
00:14:30His expression shifted, just slightly, before he stepped aside to answer.
00:14:35When he returned, there was a trace of apology on his face.
00:14:40Little wolf, something urgent just came up.
00:14:43Go ahead and try the dress.
00:14:44If anything needs adjusting, just tell the staff.
00:14:47He left in a hurry, not even waiting for a response.
00:14:52I watched his retreating figure, a bitter thought settling in.
00:14:58Cain had never walked away from me for pack business.
00:15:01And just before he left, I had caught it.
00:15:05That flicker in his eyes.
00:15:07Raw, instinctive desire.
00:15:11Work?
00:15:12Hardly.
00:15:13He was going to see her.
00:15:16When I returned to the pack house, I immediately felt it.
00:15:20The slight dip in the mattress.
00:15:23The air carried a cloying mix of vanilla, and lingering scent, thick with unmistakable desire.
00:15:30The thought hit me all at once.
00:15:32Cain and that beta had been here, on this bed.
00:15:36Entwined.
00:15:37My stomach twisted violently.
00:15:40I rushed into the bathroom and threw up, unable to stop.
00:15:44Cain had just come back.
00:15:46The moment he saw me like that, panic flashed across his face.
00:15:51Little wolf, did you eat something bad?
00:15:53I'll call a healer right now.
00:15:57I grabbed his wrist, my eyes still red.
00:16:01I'm fine.
00:16:02I just thought of something disgusting.
00:16:06Cain dropped to his knees beside me, gently patting my back, his expression full of distress.
00:16:13Don't think about things like that.
00:16:15Seeing you like this, it hurts me too.
00:16:18I looked down at him, at the open collar of his shirt, and the marks on his skin.
00:16:25Bite marks, fresh, obvious.
00:16:29Another wave of nausea rose in my throat.
00:16:32How strong did Cain have to be to carry another woman's marks on his body, and still look at me
00:16:38like I was the only one he cared about?
00:16:41His voice grew sharper, more agitated.
00:16:45Who did this to you?
00:16:47Who made Maid?
00:16:49My little wolf like this?
00:16:51Tell me.
00:16:53I'll tear them apart.
00:16:55A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
00:16:59Cain, you're the one who did this to me.
00:17:02Sometime deep into the night, I woke to the sound of a low, restrained growl.
00:17:08Half asleep, I reached out, instinctively searching for the Alpha beside me.
00:17:13But the bed was empty.
00:17:15I sat up and went downstairs.
00:17:18As I reached the second floor, I heard it.
00:17:22A woman's breathless voice.
00:17:25Soft, broken.
00:17:26I froze for a second, forcing down the sharp ache rising in my chest, then walked toward the guest room.
00:17:33The door was wide open.
00:17:36Moonlight spilled across the room, illuminating two bodies tangled together.
00:17:42Inside, Cain was bare from the waist up.
00:17:45The beta wore a strapless mermaid gown.
00:17:48The long skirt pushed up to her waist.
00:17:51Her pale legs were wrapped tightly around him.
00:17:54Her cheeks were flushed as she clung to his neck, her voice unsteady.
00:17:59Alpha, the dress I just got today, you already torn it.
00:18:04Cain let out a low chuckle, leaning in close to her ear, his voice rough.
00:18:10You wore it for me, didn't you?
00:18:14I even had the designer make one just for you.
00:18:18So tonight, shouldn't you be satisfying me?
00:18:22She clung to him, her voice breaking, hoarse.
00:18:27Alpha, I can't, I can't take ache anymore.
00:18:32Then, breathless, she tilted her head back.
00:18:36What if Aria sees us?
00:18:39Cain stilled, his expression turning cold as he cut her off.
00:18:43She's useless.
00:18:44She doesn't understand anything.
00:18:47Don't you dare tell her about us.
00:18:48The beta traced circles against his chest, her tone soft, almost hurt.
00:18:54I know.
00:18:55I just...
00:18:57She's about to become your mate, and I'll always have to stay hidden.
00:19:03It makes me sad.
00:19:06Cain's expression softened slightly.
00:19:08You jealous little thing.
00:19:10I already brought you into this house.
00:19:13Isn't that enough?
00:19:14Don't worry.
00:19:16Even after the mate bond, I won't leave you.
00:19:19Whatever area has, you'll have too.
00:19:22Moonlight lit up my face, where I stood outside the door.
00:19:27I covered my mouth, but the tears were already falling, blurring everything.
00:19:33Every sound from inside the room pierced into me like silver blades, carving wound after wound into my chest.
00:19:41I turned and ran, barefoot, straight out into the rain.
00:19:46Cold water soaked through me, but I didn't stop.
00:19:50I just needed to get away, as far away as possible.
00:19:54Through the haze, I thought I saw him.
00:19:57A younger Cain.
00:19:59The one I had once loved.
00:20:02His eyes were clear, sincere, filled with something real.
00:20:07Little wolf, leave him.
00:20:11Leave the man who doesn't love you anymore.
00:20:13And never forgive him.
00:20:15My vision burned, as I looked at that memory.
00:20:19At the alpha, I had once given my heart to.
00:20:23Okay.
00:20:24I whispered.
00:20:25I will leave you.
00:20:29And I will never forgive you.
00:20:32I didn't make it back until dawn.
00:20:35The moment I lay down, Cain slipped quietly into the room.
00:20:39He moved carefully, just like always, pulling the blanket over me before drawing me into his arms.
00:20:45His lips brushed softly against my forehead.
00:20:49Little wolf, I really do love you.
00:20:53In three days, you'll become my mate.
00:20:56We'll be together forever.
00:20:59I once saw a line online.
00:21:01When an alpha suddenly becomes gentle, it is usually guilt after betrayal.
00:21:07I never understood it before.
00:21:10Now I did.
00:21:12More than anything, I just wanted time to move faster.
00:21:15I wanted the day I left to come sooner.
00:21:18When I woke up, Cain and the beta were already downstairs having breakfast.
00:21:23The moment he saw me, Cain stood and pulled out a chair for me.
00:21:29He watched as I calmly finished my meal.
00:21:32Then guilt flickered across his face.
00:21:36Little wolf, I have to leave for a few days on short notice.
00:21:40For the mate ceremony, just work with the planner.
00:21:43I'll be back as soon as I can.
00:21:45After the ceremony, I'll make it up to you.
00:21:47Wherever you want to go for our honeymoon, I'll take you.
00:21:49I already knew the truth.
00:21:52This wasn't a trip.
00:21:53He was going to take care of her.
00:21:55But I didn't care anymore.
00:21:58I simply nodded.
00:22:01Just before he walked out the door, I called his name one last time.
00:22:05Cain.
00:22:06He paused, then turned back, his expression softening as he reached out to cut my face.
00:22:13Can't bear to see me go, little wolf.
00:22:15It's only a few days.
00:22:17Once we complete the mate bond, you'll see me every day.
00:22:21Cain!
00:22:22From outside, the beta called out to him.
00:22:25Cain leaned in, kissed my cheek, and left in a hurry.
00:22:29I stood there, watching his retreating figure.
00:22:33This was probably the last time I would ever see him.
00:22:38Not long after Cain and the beta left, I received a message from her.
00:22:43Miss Aria, you sensed everything last night, didn't you?
00:22:46I didn't expect you to be this good at holding it in.
00:22:49Cain already promised to spend the next few days with me.
00:22:53Imagine that, your future mate staying with another wolf right before your ceremony.
00:22:58You might be the most pathetic woman in the world.
00:23:01I didn't reply.
00:23:04Instead, I told the servants to gather everything in the villa that belonged to me and pile it in the
00:23:10backyard.
00:23:12Once everything was brought out, I lit a fire.
00:23:15I stood there in silence, watching five years of memories burn away piece by piece.
00:23:23When the last corner turned to ash, so did everything I once felt.
00:23:28There were two days left before I left.
00:23:31Another message came from the beta.
00:23:33This time, it was a photo.
00:23:37A pregnancy test report.
00:23:39Well, looks like I'm really pregnant.
00:23:42Cain's first pup.
00:23:43He's so excited.
00:23:45I still didn't respond.
00:23:47I took out the mate dress and, with my claws, tore it apart piece by piece.
00:23:54This dress, created for me, no longer had any meaning.
00:23:59On the day I was leaving, she sent one last message.
00:24:03Cain is going to complete a mate bond with me.
00:24:06He said he'll give me the same ceremony.
00:24:08He won't let me or the child suffer.
00:24:11Miss Aria, you should know your place and give up the Luna position.
00:24:15Cain doesn't love you anymore.
00:24:18This time, I replied.
00:24:20I hope your dream comes true soon.
00:24:23After that, I pulled up the villa surveillance footage.
00:24:27It wasn't just once.
00:24:29Cain had brought her back here again and again, chasing excitement.
00:24:33I copied the videos and sent them to the ceremony planner.
00:24:38This is a surprise I prepared for Cain.
00:24:40Make sure it's played-flayed during the ceremony.
00:24:43Keep it confidential.
00:24:47Once everything was arranged, my phone rang.
00:24:50Cain!
00:24:51There was a trace of apology on his face.
00:24:54Little wolf, things here aren't finished yet.
00:24:57I won't be back until tomorrow morning.
00:24:59Don't worry, I'll make it before the ceremony.
00:25:02I let out a soft laugh.
00:25:04Okay, I've prepared a surprise for you at the ceremony.
00:25:08His eyes lit up with anticipation.
00:25:11My little wolf prepared something for me?
00:25:14I can't wait.
00:25:15Little wolf, I've waited five years for you to become my mate.
00:25:19Tomorrow, when you finally become my Luna.
00:25:21I'm so happy.
00:25:23His voice cut off abruptly.
00:25:25His body stiffened for a split second,
00:25:28and a suppressed breath escaped him.
00:25:31A trace of cold mockery flickered in my eyes.
00:25:34Cain, I hope you like the surprise.
00:25:38I hung up before he could respond and walked out of the villa.
00:25:42The car from the fake death agency was already waiting outside.
00:25:47At the airport, I typed a few final lines on my phone before handing it to the staff.
00:25:52Tomorrow, deliver this phone along with the body to the Alpha.
00:25:57Tell him I died at 6 in the evening, and that I left him a final message.
00:26:026 o'clock.
00:26:04The exact moment I ended the call.
00:26:06I wanted Cain to believe, that while he was tangled up with that Beta,
00:26:11I had died.
00:26:12That I had chosen death.
00:26:15Those final words I left behind would stay with him forever.
00:26:20A lifetime of guilt he would never escape.
00:26:23The staff member nodded, taking the phone and handing me a new ID and boarding pass.
00:26:28Miss Phoenix.
00:26:31We will erase all surveillance along your route.
00:26:34We wish you a safe journey and a happy life ahead.
00:26:37Phoenix.
00:26:38The name I chose for myself.
00:26:41A symbol of rising from the ashes.
00:26:44Of leaving everything behind.
00:26:46After today, my life would begin again.
00:26:51At the Beta's house.
00:26:53The woman was still softly begging when Cain finally let her go.
00:26:58He caught her wrist, his voice rough.
00:27:01You're pregnant and still acting like this?
00:27:04She leaned into his chest, her tone sweet and coaxing.
00:27:08I was just worried you might be holding back too much.
00:27:13Cain let out a low chuckle and pinched her cheek.
00:27:18Jealous, aren't you?
00:27:19She huffed and turned her face away.
00:27:22You're completing a mate bond with Aria tomorrow?
00:27:25Am I not allowed to feel anything about that?
00:27:27Cain's expression darkened.
00:27:29He released her hand and looked down at her from above.
00:27:32His voice edged with warning.
00:27:34As long as you don't front send left in my front, I can spoil you however I want.
00:27:39But if you forget your place...
00:27:41Her expression shifted.
00:27:43She hadn't expected that even carrying his pup wouldn't change his tone.
00:27:47But she knew how to read the situation.
00:27:50Alpha, I understand.
00:27:52I never intended to compete with Miss Aria for the Luna position.
00:27:56Cain pulled her back into his arms.
00:27:58Good.
00:27:59Don't overthink it.
00:28:01After the honeymoon, I'll spend a full week with you.
00:28:03And don't worry.
00:28:04Even after the mate bond, I won't neglect you or the child.
00:28:07The next day, the mate ceremony.
00:28:11Cain stood at the center of the stage, dressed impeccably, a white rose in his hand.
00:28:18Below him, guests filled the venue, cameras from major media outlets broadcasting the event
00:28:23live across the world.
00:28:25At exactly 12 noon, the ceremony began.
00:28:30The music for the Luna's entrance played.
00:28:33Cain's palms were damp with sweat.
00:28:35The song ended.
00:28:37But the doors remained closed.
00:28:40A murmur spread through the crowd.
00:28:43Just as Cain reached for his phone, the host stepped forward.
00:28:47Ladies and gentlemen, and our Alpha, thank you for your patience.
00:28:51Our Luna mentioned yesterday that she prepared a special surprise, so we've added an extra
00:28:56segment to today's ceremony.
00:28:58Cain relaxed slightly.
00:29:00So this was the surprise I had mentioned.
00:29:03Please direct your attention to the main screen.
00:29:07All eyes lifted.
00:29:09Cain smiled faintly, anticipation in his gaze.
00:29:13But the next second, everything changed.
00:29:19On the screen, two bodies were tangled together on a couch, their movements unmistakable.
00:29:27At first, the guests were confused.
00:29:30Who are they?
00:29:31How dare they disrupt Alpha Cain's ceremony?
00:29:33But Cain recognized it instantly.
00:29:36It was him.
00:29:37And the Beta.
00:29:39Turn it off!
00:29:40Shut it down right now!
00:29:42His roar tore through the hall.
00:29:45The host rushed backstage, trying to stop the video.
00:29:48But the system had frozen.
00:29:50Nothing responded.
00:29:53The footage continued.
00:29:54And then, their faces came clearly into view.
00:29:58The entire venue erupted.
00:30:01Oh my god!
00:30:03That's Alpha Cain!
00:30:05Did he betray the mate bond?
00:30:07Wasn't he supposed to only love Aria?
00:30:09What is this?
00:30:11Online, the live stream had already drawn nearly 5 million viewers.
00:30:16Comments flooded in.
00:30:18So he's just another Alpha who can't control himself.
00:30:20I can't believe I ever thought he was perfect.
00:30:23Shut down the stream and the screen!
00:30:25Immediately!
00:30:26Cain immediately ordered the stream and screen to be shut down,
00:30:29then grabbed the microphone.
00:30:31Is allowed to speak of this.
00:30:33Not a word.
00:30:35Someone muttered under their breath.
00:30:37Didn't they say this was Aria's surprise?
00:30:40Maybe she already knew.
00:30:42Cain's face went pale.
00:30:45That was the one possibility he refused to accept.
00:30:49He clung to the belief that I was oblivious.
00:30:52That I never checked the surveillance.
00:30:54That as long as no one said anything, I would never know.
00:30:58But I still hadn't appeared.
00:31:00And now, panic began to take hold.
00:31:04He pulled out his phone and sent a message.
00:31:06Little Wolf, are you here?
00:31:09One minute.
00:31:11Two minutes.
00:31:12No reply.
00:31:14His hands began to sweat as he prepared to call.
00:31:18Then, slowly, the doors to the hall opened.
00:31:23Every head turned.
00:31:27Hope lit up Cain's face.
00:31:29He thought his little wolf had finally arrived.
00:31:32The video had already been dealt with.
00:31:35Holding the bouquet, he stepped forward, ready to welcome his mate.
00:31:41He began to extend his hand.
00:31:43And then he froze.
00:31:46The ones entering were not the woman he had been waiting for.
00:31:51It was a group of staff dressed in black.
00:31:54Behind them, they carried a coffin.
00:31:57Rage ignited in Cain's eyes.
00:32:00One of the staff stepped forward, sympathy written across his face.
00:32:05Alpha Cain, your mate took her own life yesterday.
00:32:09Please accept our condolences.
00:32:11Cain didn't believe a word of it.
00:32:13Just yesterday, we had spoken.
00:32:16I had sounded completely fine.
00:32:19How could I be dead?
00:32:21He let out a cold laugh.
00:32:23The video wasn't enough, so now you're making up lies about my mate's death?
00:32:27Tell me, who sent you?
00:32:30The staff member's expression grew even more sympathetic.
00:32:34He gestured toward the coffin.
00:32:36If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself.
00:32:40Cain laughed again, anger sharpening his voice.
00:32:45Fine.
00:32:46Let's see what kind of trick you're trying to pull.
00:32:49He strode toward the coffin.
00:32:51But the moment he looked inside, all the strength drained from his body.
00:32:56Arya.
00:32:57He stumbled forward, dropping to his knees beside the coffin, his hands trembling as he searched
00:33:03for even the slightest difference between the person inside and me.
00:33:07His gaze moved inch by inch.
00:33:10But there was no difference.
00:33:12The woman lying there was me.
00:33:15The same Arya who had been by his side for five years.
00:33:19How could this be?
00:33:21Just yesterday, we had spoken.
00:33:24There had been no sign, no hint that I would choose death.
00:33:30No!
00:33:31This couldn't be real!
00:33:33He clung to denial, telling himself that his little wolf was just angry.
00:33:38That I was upset he hadn't been with me these past few days.
00:33:42That this was some kind of cruel joke.
00:33:44Cain reached out, his hand shaking as he tried to touch my face, as if convincing himself
00:33:50I was only asleep.
00:33:51Little wolf, why is your body so cold?
00:33:55Let me warm you up, okay?
00:33:57Today is our mate ceremony.
00:33:58You wouldn't leave me here alone, would you?
00:34:02By the end, his voice had begun to tremble.
00:34:06A staff member stepped forward and tried to help him up.
00:34:10Alpha Cain, please accept our condolences.
00:34:14Miss Arya has passed.
00:34:17That sentence snapped something inside him.
00:34:20He shoved the man away, his eyes bloodshot as he roared.
00:34:24No, Arya isn't dead!
00:34:27She's just asleep!
00:34:29The staff fell silent for a moment before handing him my phone.
00:34:33Alpha Cain, Miss Arya took her own life yesterday at 6 in the evening.
00:34:36When we arrived, she said she left you a final message on her phone.
00:34:39The moment those words registered, Cain's heart lurched.
00:34:43If he remembered correctly, that was exactly when our call had ended.
00:34:48Right after that, he had been with the beta.
00:34:51His face turned even paler.
00:34:53With shaking hands, he unlocked the phone.
00:34:57The moment the screen lit up, he saw the note I had left behind.
00:35:03Cain, when I was 22, you were the one who pulled me out of a barren world.
00:35:08You gave me a kind of love I had never known before.
00:35:11These five years with you have been the happiest time of my life.
00:35:16I just never expected that happiness would end so quickly.
00:35:19In only five years, the man who once held me and promised to love me forever disappeared.
00:35:26For you, half a wink ago, I risked my life to undergo blood awakening.
00:35:31I only wanted to fully feel your emotions during our mate ceremony.
00:35:35But I never imagined that the first thing I would sense after awakening would be your desire intertwined with another
00:35:41beta.
00:35:42These past two weeks, I broke down.
00:35:44I despaired.
00:35:45And in the end, everything went quiet.
00:35:49I understand now.
00:35:51There is no such thing as forever.
00:35:56Thank you for once being part of my life.
00:35:58But in the next life, no, in any life, I never want to meet you again.
00:36:05By the third line, Cain had already lost control.
00:36:09He had never cried in front of anyone.
00:36:13Now, tears fell uncontrollably onto the screen.
00:36:16His face drained of all color.
00:36:19His body swayed, unsteady, before his legs gave out and he collapsed to his knees.
00:36:26Only now did he understand.
00:36:28I had awakened long ago.
00:36:31I had known everything.
00:36:33Fragments of the past two weeks flooded his mind.
00:36:37The gathering where his friends joked about him and the beta.
00:36:41The nights he brought her home.
00:36:42The way he left me before the ceremony, just to be with her.
00:36:47Even that call.
00:36:49When he let the beta interrupt without a second thought.
00:36:53The more he remembered, the sharper the pain in his chest became, until he could barely breathe.
00:36:59What had he done?
00:37:00I had risked my life for blood awakening.
00:37:03And he had taken advantage of what he believed was my weakness.
00:37:08Indulging himself without restraint.
00:37:10He couldn't even begin to imagine it.
00:37:13I had returned home.
00:37:15Heart full of anticipation, after awakening.
00:37:18Only to be met with the overwhelming sensation of his desire tangled with someone else's.
00:37:24The despair.
00:37:26The collapse.
00:37:27It must have shattered me.
00:37:30Endless pain spread through him.
00:37:32Suffocating.
00:37:33Inescapable.
00:37:34That day, when he heard me say I was leaving, it hadn't been about a friend.
00:37:40It had been about me.
00:37:42The signs had always been there.
00:37:45My death hadn't come out of nowhere.
00:37:48He had simply never seen it.
00:37:50In a daze, he thought he saw himself at 22.
00:37:54That younger version of him looked at him with nothing but disappointment.
00:37:58You betrayed Aria.
00:38:01You broke your mate bond.
00:38:03This is your punishment.
00:38:05Aria has left you forever.
00:38:07And the final lines of my message cut deeper than anything else.
00:38:11The little wolf he loved.
00:38:13Never wanted to meet him again.
00:38:17Only then did he realize how deeply I must have been hurt to write those words.
00:38:22And the one responsible for all of it was him.
00:38:26The moment the guests saw the coffin, shock rippled through the entire venue.
00:38:31Then, everything clicked.
00:38:34The delayed entrance.
00:38:36The explosive video.
00:38:38They understood.
00:38:40I had known all along.
00:38:42The video had been my doing.
00:38:44The coffin, delivered to the ceremony after my death, had been my final arrangement.
00:38:51A heavy silence settled over the crowd, followed by quiet sighs.
00:38:57One by one, the guests who had arrived in celebration began to leave, shaking their heads.
00:39:03In the end, only Kane remained.
00:39:06Kneeling in front of the coffin.
00:39:08At the burial, Kane stood off to the side like a man hollowed out,
00:39:12his expression numb, his soul already broken.
00:39:16Only when the coffin was about to be sealed beneath the earth did he suddenly snap back to himself.
00:39:22He lunged forward, eyes bloodshot, refusing to let anyone touch it.
00:39:28It took several people working together to drag him back and hold him in place.
00:39:33When the final shovel full of dirt fell, all that remained for him was a gravestone.
00:39:39And the black and white photograph of my smiling face.
00:39:43He broke free from their grip, dropped heavily to his knees, and leaned his forehead against the stone.
00:39:50His hand traced my name as tears slid endlessly down his face.
00:39:54Little wolf, this is all my fault, I'm sorry.
00:39:58But apologies that come too late never reached the one who needed them.
00:40:03Kane returned home like a walking corpse.
00:40:06There was no life left in his face.
00:40:09The moment he pushed open the door, he froze.
00:40:13It had only been three days.
00:40:16Yet the entire house felt unbearably cold.
00:40:20After we got together, I had always liked adding small things to the house.
00:40:25Little decorations, soft touches, warm details that slowly turned that cold villa into something that felt like home.
00:40:34Now, there was nothing.
00:40:36Everything was gone.
00:40:38The house had reverted to what it had been five years ago.
00:40:44Cold, empty, lifeless.
00:40:48Kane stood there, staring at the unfamiliar familiarity of it all, on the verge of losing his mind.
00:40:55He summoned all the servants, his voice sharp with anger.
00:40:59Who threw away Arya's things?
00:41:01I never gave that order.
00:41:03Who dared to do it?
00:41:04The servants exchanged uneasy glances.
00:41:08Sir, Miss Arya told us to clear everything out three days ago.
00:41:14She had us pile it all in the backyard.
00:41:16Then she set it on fire herself.
00:41:20The last trace of light drained from Kane's eyes.
00:41:24At that moment, one of the servants stepped forward hesitantly and opened her palm.
00:41:29Sir, I found this while cleaning a few days ago.
00:41:33It looked valuable.
00:41:34Maybe Miss Arya threw it away by accident.
00:41:37Another servant approached, holding a bundle of white fabric strips.
00:41:42Sir, this was left in the house yesterday.
00:41:44It looked like a mate dress.
00:41:46There was a moonstone in the center, so I didn't dare throw it away.
00:41:53Kane reached out with trembling hands.
00:41:56In one hand, he picked up the ring.
00:41:59In the other, he touched the torn remains of the dress, his fingers brushing over the moonstone engraved with A
00:42:06and K, forever.
00:42:08The engagement ring he had made himself.
00:42:11The mate dress he had specially commissioned.
00:42:14A sharp, bone-deep pain spread from his chest through his entire body.
00:42:19He might have wondered, deep down.
00:42:21Arya, did you hate me that much?
00:42:27So much that you chose death to punish him?
00:42:31So much that you erased every trace of the happiness we once had.
00:42:35After the pain came something worse.
00:42:38Endless regret.
00:42:40Today was supposed to be the day he had looked forward to more than anything.
00:42:45The day he would finally complete the mate bond with the woman he loved.
00:42:49But he hadn't realized that he had already been standing at the edge of an abyss.
00:42:54And just as he was about to reach happiness, it struck.
00:42:59Dragging him down.
00:43:01Into a darkness with no end.
00:43:04No light.
00:43:06Not even a single trace.
00:43:10Kane drove everyone out of the house.
00:43:12Alone, he sat on the floor, holding the torn remains of the mate dress in his arms.
00:43:17The ring that once belonged to me now hung from his neck, threaded onto a cord.
00:43:22These were the last things that still carried my scent.
00:43:25With them, it almost felt like I was still there.
00:43:29Then, my phone in his pocket vibrated.
00:43:33He glanced down.
00:43:34A message.
00:43:36From the beta.
00:43:37Arya.
00:43:38So what if today is your mate's ceremony?
00:43:41Do you believe I can still call Kane away with just one message?
00:43:45Don't think becoming Luna means anything.
00:43:48I'm carrying Kane's first pup.
00:43:50Tell me.
00:43:51What matters more?
00:43:52Your ceremony or his child?
00:43:55Last night he had his face against my stomach, saying he couldn't wait for the baby to be born.
00:44:01He's already excited to be a father.
00:44:04That Luna position of yours won't last long.
00:44:07Another message followed.
00:44:09A photo.
00:44:11Kane.
00:44:12Pressing his face against her stomach.
00:44:14Kane's fingers tightened around the phone.
00:44:17Then he scrolled up.
00:44:19Message after message.
00:44:22All sent to me.
00:44:23I'm pregnant.
00:44:25Kane and I have been together for a year.
00:44:28You're a pretty pathetic Omega.
00:44:31Not just words.
00:44:33There were countless intimate photos.
00:44:36And even a video.
00:44:38The beta.
00:44:39Wearing a mate dress.
00:44:41Beneath him.
00:44:42Kane's breathing grew heavier.
00:44:44He remembered.
00:44:46When she found out about the ceremony.
00:44:49She had insisted on having a dress too.
00:44:52He hadn't thought much of it.
00:44:53Just a dress.
00:44:55He told the designer to make her one as well.
00:44:58By then.
00:44:59I had already awakened.
00:45:01Kane shut his eyes.
00:45:03The memory of the boutique flashed through his mind.
00:45:06My expression.
00:45:08My silence.
00:45:09A sharp pain twisted through his chest.
00:45:12Now he understood.
00:45:13That was why I had torn the mate dress to pieces.
00:45:18His gaze dropped back to the screen.
00:45:21His grip tightened until his knuckles turned white.
00:45:24Rage burned in his eyes.
00:45:27That beta.
00:45:28He had warned her countless times not to tell me anything.
00:45:32And yet she had gone behind his back.
00:45:35Provoking me again and again.
00:45:39His phone suddenly rang.
00:45:41He answered.
00:45:43On the other end.
00:45:45Her voice was trembling.
00:45:46On the verge of tears.
00:45:48Kane.
00:45:49My stomach doesn't feel right.
00:45:51Do you think something's wrong with the baby?
00:45:54Can you take me to the hospital?
00:45:58Of course.
00:45:59I'll be right there.
00:46:00I'll be waiting.
00:46:01The fragile tone was nothing like the messages on my phone.
00:46:05As if she were two completely different people.
00:46:08A cold aura settled over Kane.
00:46:11Her voice immediately brightened.
00:46:13Kane's eyes darkened.
00:46:15Since she wanted to see him so badly.
00:46:19He would make sure she got exactly what she wanted.
00:46:23On the other side.
00:46:24The beta froze for a moment when she heard how quickly Kane agreed.
00:46:28Then a surge of excitement rushed through her.
00:46:31She had assumed that today was Kane's mate ceremony with me.
00:46:35Even if she used the child as an excuse to pull him away.
00:46:38She expected it would take a lot of effort.
00:46:41But he agreed without hesitation.
00:46:43Did that mean her place in Kane's heart had already surpassed mine?
00:46:49Besides, she was carrying his only pup.
00:46:53A determined glint flashed across her eyes.
00:46:56She was probably thinking that even if I became Luna today.
00:47:00There was no guarantee I could hold on to that position.
00:47:04Before Kane arrived.
00:47:06She hurriedly changed into a sheer nightgown.
00:47:09Sprayed on his favorite scent based perfume.
00:47:11And reclined on the couch to wait.
00:47:15When Kane opened the door.
00:47:17The first thing he saw was her lying there in the thin fabric.
00:47:20A trace of coldness flickered through his eyes.
00:47:24So much for a stomach ache.
00:47:26More likely.
00:47:27This was just another trick to pull him away from Aria.
00:47:32It wasn't the first time she had used tactics like this.
00:47:36In the past.
00:47:37Kane treated her as nothing more than a distraction when he was bored.
00:47:40As long as she stayed obedient and catered to him.
00:47:45He didn't mind indulging her a little.
00:47:47But that never meant he would tolerate her trying to take a place that wasn't hers.
00:47:53In his mind.
00:47:54There had only ever been one mate.
00:47:57From beginning to end.
00:47:58That was me.
00:47:59And for my death.
00:48:01She would have to pay the price.
00:48:05The beta didn't notice the chill radiating from him.
00:48:08She was still lost in her fantasy of becoming Luna.
00:48:12When she saw him.
00:48:13She put on a fragile expression.
00:48:15And gently touched her flat stomach.
00:48:18Kane.
00:48:18I know today is your mate ceremony with Aria.
00:48:21I shouldn't have called you back.
00:48:23But my stomach really hurts.
00:48:25This is your first pup.
00:48:27I was worried something might go wrong.
00:48:29So I had no choice but to call.
00:48:32Kane looked at her coldly.
00:48:36Where does it hurt?
00:48:37She didn't catch the icy edge in his voice.
00:48:40She thought he was concerned about her.
00:48:42Just like before.
00:48:44She stepped closer.
00:48:45Wrapping her arms around his neck.
00:48:47And breathing softly near his ear.
00:48:49The baby says it misses its father.
00:48:52She had always been bold about things like this.
00:48:56She believed that my empathic sense was weak.
00:48:59That I could never give a man the same kind of experience in bed.
00:49:03That, in her mind, was the key to keeping Kane.
00:49:06And with the mate ceremony today adding an extra thrill.
00:49:10She was certain she could make him stay the night.
00:49:13She was already imagining how she would message me the next day to provoke me.
00:49:18Completely missing the darkening expression on Kane's face.
00:49:22She took one of his hands and placed it on her stomach.
00:49:26When he didn't react, she guided his hand upward.
00:49:29Just as it was about to reach her chest, Kane slapped her hard across the face.
00:49:33Who gave you permission to touch me?
00:49:36She was knocked to the floor.
00:49:38Five clear finger marks blooming across her cheek.
00:49:42Clutching her swollen face, she stared at him in disbelief.
00:49:46She had been with him for a full year.
00:49:49And he had never laid a hand on her before.
00:49:52What had changed?
00:49:54And she was carrying his child.
00:49:56How could he be so ruthless?
00:49:59Kane!
00:50:01What did I do wrong?
00:50:02Why would you hit me?
00:50:03Haven't we always been like this?
00:50:06Her voice trembled.
00:50:07Tears welling in her eyes.
00:50:10But the sight of her crying did nothing to soften him.
00:50:13His expression grew even darker, like a storm about to break.
00:50:18Who gave you the nerve to tell Aria about us?
00:50:23The beta's face went pale.
00:50:25She hadn't expected Kane to find out, but she still denied it on instinct.
00:50:30Kane!
00:50:30What are you talking about?
00:50:32I didn't say anything to Aria.
00:50:35Kane let out a cold laugh, his hand clamping down hard on her chin.
00:50:39You're still trying to lie?
00:50:41If I hadn't seen those messages myself, I never would have guessed best you had two faces.
00:50:47Playing the obedient little lamb in front of me, while acting arrogant as hell in front of Aria.
00:50:54I've warned you countless times.
00:50:56Aria is the only Omega I have ever truly loved.
00:51:00You are nothing more than a pet I kept around for amusement.
00:51:04You had a hand in Aria's death, and you're going to pay for it.
00:51:09His grip shifted to her throat, fingers tightening with each second.
00:51:14The veins in his arms stood out sharply, making him look terrifying.
00:51:20Driven by the instinct to survive, the beta clawed at his hand with both of hers, but he didn't loosen
00:51:26his grip.
00:51:26She stared at the face she had once been obsessed with, and for the first time, she felt nothing but
00:51:33fear.
00:51:34As the air in her lungs ran out, she forced out a single word.
00:51:41Child.
00:51:43At that word, Kane abruptly released her.
00:51:46She collapsed to the ground, gasping for air, coughing violently, overwhelmed by the relief of still being alive.
00:51:55Kane looked down at her pathetic state without the slightest flicker of emotion.
00:52:00All he could think about was getting rid of the child.
00:52:04It was because of her that I had taken my own life.
00:52:07Now, every time he saw her, he was reminded that she had destroyed the person he loved most.
00:52:14Even the pup in her womb filled him with disgust.
00:52:18But as the beta recovered, a strange sense of joy rose in her heart.
00:52:22It was as if she had forgotten the terror from moments ago.
00:52:27Only one thought echoed in her mind.
00:52:30Aria was dead.
00:52:34Out of jealousy, she hadn't watched the mate ceremony or looked up any news about it.
00:52:40She hadn't expected something so drastic to happen.
00:52:43To her, it had only been a few provocative messages and some suggestive photos.
00:52:50She never imagined I would be so fragile.
00:52:53Still, she felt grateful.
00:52:56This was her chance.
00:52:58Struggling to her feet, tears pooling in her eyes, she grabbed the hem of his shirt and pleaded.
00:53:05Kane, I didn't mean it.
00:53:07I just love you too much.
00:53:08I didn't want our child to be born with a bad name.
00:53:11I never thought Aria would take her own life over this.
00:53:15I was devastated when I heard.
00:53:17But she's gone now.
00:53:18We have to move forward, don't we?
00:53:22I'm carrying your pup.
00:53:24As she spoke, she gently stroked her still flat stomach.
00:53:28She knew Kane had always cared about the child.
00:53:32She assumed he had let her go earlier because he didn't want anything to happen to it.
00:53:36As long as she carried his pup, she believed she held a shield that would protect her from anything.
00:53:43She was wrong.
00:53:45Kane lifted his hand and lightly patted her cheek, his expression utterly cold.
00:53:51If you hadn't mentioned the child, I might have forgotten.
00:53:55Every time I think about how you caused Aria's death, I can't stand the sight of you.
00:54:01A child born from someone like you would only disgust me.
00:54:05The darkness in his tone finally made fear sink in.
00:54:09She stumbled back, clutching her lower abdomen with both hands, her voice trembling.
00:54:17Kane, what are you going to do to my child?
00:54:20He stepped closer, his voice cold and venomous.
00:54:24I'm having someone take you to the hospital to get rid of it.
00:54:28As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out his phone and ordered his bodyguards to take her away for
00:54:34the procedure.
00:54:35Come up, take her to the hospital and arrange the procedure immediately.
00:54:40Tears streaming down her face.
00:54:42No!
00:54:43This is your child too, Kane!
00:54:45How can you do this?
00:54:47Despair filled her expression.
00:54:49She couldn't believe he could be this heartless, completely indifferent to the life inside her.
00:54:57Just yesterday, he had pressed his ear against her stomach.
00:55:01I want our child's first word to be...
00:55:03Dad.
00:55:04And now, he could order its death without even blinking.
00:55:09No.
00:55:10She would never accept this.
00:55:12This is a living being.
00:55:14It's the result of our love.
00:55:17Kane, just imagine it.
00:55:19Our child growing up, calling you Dad and me Mom.
00:55:22Um...
00:55:23Wouldn't that be a beautiful life?
00:55:26She knew Kane hated being threatened, so she tried to appeal to his emotions.
00:55:32But he remained towering over her, his expression cold and unfeeling.
00:55:37Love?
00:55:38There's nothing noble about what we have.
00:55:41It's nothing but a physical relationship.
00:55:44The only person I love is Arya.
00:55:46The bodyguards rushed in as soon as they got the call.
00:55:49They pushed the door open and grabbed the trembling Beta, preparing to take her to the hospital as ordered.
00:55:56She struggled desperately, but they were professionally trained.
00:56:00There was no way she could break free.
00:56:03As she was about to be dragged out, she screamed at Kane with everything she had left.
00:56:09Kane!
00:56:09You say you only love Arya, but we spent so many nights together!
00:56:14Did none of that mean anything to you?
00:56:17You told me you loved me, too!
00:56:19Kane didn't react at all.
00:56:21He simply motioned for the bodyguards to take her away.
00:56:25All the way to the hospital, she fought against them, even trying to call out to the doctors and nurses
00:56:31for help.
00:56:32But this was a private hospital owned by Kane's company.
00:56:36Everyone there knew exactly who he was.
00:56:38Whatever he said, they followed.
00:56:41She was strapped to the operating table.
00:56:44As the anesthesia was injected, her consciousness slowly faded away.
00:56:50When she woke up again, even the slightest movement sent a heavy ache through her lower abdomen.
00:56:56Her pup was gone.
00:56:59The light in her eyes had completely faded.
00:57:02She stared blankly at the ceiling, hollow and motionless.
00:57:06After confirming with the doctor that the procedure was complete, Kane came to her bedside.
00:57:12When you're discharged, leave this city.
00:57:14I don't want to see you again.
00:57:18Every time he looked at her, he was reminded of his betrayal, reminded of my death.
00:57:24It felt like his heart was being carved apart.
00:57:27The beta's eyes shifted slightly.
00:57:30She already understood that becoming Luna was no longer possible.
00:57:34Now, she couldn't even remain as his lover.
00:57:41Kane, do you think you're some kind of tragic romantic now?
00:57:46You got rid of the illegitimate child, drove away your mistress, and now you get to mourn your dead lover
00:57:53all by yourself?
00:57:55Her mocking tone made Kane's fists clench.
00:57:57He shot her a sharp warning look.
00:58:00Enough.
00:58:01The first time we slept together, I didn't beg you.
00:58:04You were the one who couldn't resist and pushed me down.
00:58:07And a few days ago, you were the one who brought me home.
00:58:11You came downstairs in the middle of the night to find me.
00:58:14I never forced you.
00:58:16Aria's death was your doing.
00:58:18You're the one who drove her to it.
00:58:21Kane had already known, deep down, that his betrayal was what led to my death.
00:58:27But hearing it spoken so bluntly felt like a knife plunging into his heart all over again, tearing it open
00:58:35and leaving it bleeding.
00:58:37After a full day of spreading online, the news of Kane cheating with a beta had completely exploded across the
00:58:43internet.
00:58:44Trending topics were flooded with his name.
00:58:47Kane Scandal
00:58:49Kane Cheating with a Beta
00:58:51Aria Suicide
00:58:54A month ago, Kane's public courtship had already caused a massive sensation.
00:58:59He had even promised
00:59:00The upcoming mate ceremony will be more spectacular than anything anyone has ever seen.
00:59:06People everywhere had been waiting to witness what they called the mate ceremony of the century.
00:59:12So when that highly anticipated ceremony turned into a funeral, when news broke that an Omega had taken her own
00:59:21life after discovering her Alpha's betrayal, and even had her coffin delivered to the ceremony site, it instantly captured everyone's
00:59:30attention.
00:59:32Kane's carefully crafted image shattered overnight.
00:59:37He went from being the most desired Alpha online to a man universally condemned for destroying the person he claimed
00:59:44to love.
00:59:45I'm done believing in love.
00:59:47What kind of trash Alpha is this?
00:59:50Aria deserved so much better.
00:59:52Why would she end her life over someone like him?
00:59:55Are all alphas like this?
00:59:58Acting one way in public and another behind closed doors?
01:00:01It's disgusting.
01:00:02I actually believed in their perfect love story.
01:00:05The backlash was relentless.
01:00:09Companies that had partnered with Kane's group began cutting ties one after another.
01:00:14In no time the entire corporation was thrown into turmoil.
01:00:19But Kane himself had shut himself inside his bedroom.
01:00:23He lay curled up on the bed, eyes closed, clutching the torn mate ceremony suit I had ripped apart, as
01:00:30if holding it close could somehow bring back my scent.
01:00:33His parents, who had been overseas on business, rushed back as soon as they heard the news.
01:00:39It took everything over to step back to the clowns of the business and keep the company from spiraling further.
01:00:47The moment they finished handling corporate matters, they hurried straight to the villa.
01:00:53As soon as they walked in, a servant approached them anxiously.
01:00:57Sir, ma'am, the young master hasn't left his room for over a day.
01:01:01We've brought food upstairs, but he won't eat.
01:01:04He won't answer the door either.
01:01:07We didn't dare force our way in, but it's been so long we're worried something might have happened.
01:01:12The moment they heard this, both of them felt their hearts drop.
01:01:16They hadn't realized their son had deteriorated to the point of refusing to eat.
01:01:22They rushed upstairs.
01:01:24Kane!
01:01:24Open the door!
01:01:25Kane!
01:01:26No matter how hard they knocked, there was no response.
01:01:29No matter how many times they called his name, there was only silence.
01:01:33Kane's mother's voice trembled with fear.
01:01:36Do you think something's happened to him?
01:01:39Break the door down.
01:01:44When the door was forced open, they found the curtains drawn tightly shut, blocking out
01:01:49every trace of light.
01:01:51Kane remained curled up on the bed, still clutching the torn mate ceremony suit.
01:01:55Even with everyone entering the room, he didn't react at all.
01:01:59The moment his mother saw how gaunt his face had become, her eyes filled with tears.
01:02:06England.
01:02:08Standing in front of the sprawling Ashford Manor, I still felt like I was dreaming.
01:02:14I was no longer Phoenix.
01:02:16Now, I was Lyra Phoenix.
01:02:19I never imagined that a simple trip abroad would lead me to finding my biological parents.
01:02:26On the plane, a well-dressed woman seated next to me kept glancing in my direction.
01:02:32Out of politeness, I greeted her first, and we quickly fell into conversation.
01:02:38She told me she was part of the werewolf kind, a Chinese family settled in England.
01:02:44This trip back had been for one reason only, she was searching for her missing daughter.
01:02:50She and her husband had been running businesses overseas for years.
01:02:54When their youngest daughter was born, it happened to be during a full moon, and they were in
01:02:59China at the time.
01:03:01They decided to stay an extra month, and leave after the baby's one-month milestone.
01:03:07But the day before they were supposed to leave, their daughter disappeared.
01:03:12They called the police immediately, and searched with friends, but after an entire month, there
01:03:18was still no trace.
01:03:20The authorities believed the child had likely been trafficked, and the chances of finding
01:03:25her were slim.
01:03:26With their visas expiring, they had no choice but to leave the country.
01:03:31Even so, they never gave up.
01:03:34They entrusted friends in China to continue searching, and every year, they returned to
01:03:40that same city, staying for a full month to look for her.
01:03:44This was the 26th year.
01:03:47Everyone around them had urged them to let go, but they held on to the smallest thread of
01:03:52hope.
01:03:53This time, they had returned empty-handed once again.
01:03:57But when she saw me, she felt an unexplainable sense of familiarity.
01:04:02That was why she had kept looking at me.
01:04:06Strangely enough, I felt the same warmth from her.
01:04:10Without even realizing it, I began telling her about my past.
01:04:14When she learned I was an orphan, and that I came from the same city where her daughter
01:04:19had gone missing, her emotions became visibly stirred.
01:04:23She grasped my hands tightly, and asked if I would be willing to take a DNA test after we
01:04:29landed.
01:04:30Looking at the hopeful expressions on both her face and her husband's, I found myself
01:04:36nodding.
01:04:39The moment we got off the plane, they had their driver take us straight to the fastest GenCore
01:04:45lab available.
01:04:47The wait felt endless.
01:04:49But when the results finally came back, everything changed.
01:04:53I was their daughter.
01:04:55The moment they saw the confirmation, they pulled me into their arms and broke down in
01:05:01tears.
01:05:02And for the first time in my life, I understood something I had never known before.
01:05:07I was not unwanted.
01:05:09My parents loved me.
01:05:11They had spent 26 years searching for me.
01:05:16After asking for my opinion, they kept the name Phoenix for me, but added a first name.
01:05:22Lyra.
01:05:22From that moment on, I became Lyra Phoenix.
01:05:27Ever since they found out who I was, my mother refused to let go of my hand, her eyes filled
01:05:34with warmth and affection.
01:05:36Even my father, who carried himself with quiet restraint, couldn't hide the redness in his
01:05:41eyes as he looked at me.
01:05:44When we arrived at the estate, my mother led me eagerly to a bedroom door, like she had been
01:05:49waiting for this moment forever.
01:05:51Phoenix, your father and I have been waiting for you to come home.
01:05:56We've kept your room exactly as it was for 26 years.
01:05:59Now you're finally here, and it finally has its owner.
01:06:03Her voice trembled as she spoke.
01:06:05My father gently placed a hand on her shoulder, then nodded toward the door.
01:06:11Go on, take a look, see if you like what we prepared for you.
01:06:15A warmth spread through my chest, something I had never felt before.
01:06:21Family.
01:06:22I pushed open the heavy door.
01:06:24Inside was a beautifully styled European vintage bed.
01:06:29A window beside it looked out over the back garden, the view stretching peacefully into the
01:06:34distance.
01:06:36The entire room was covered in soft carpeting, and right in the center sat a neat stack of boxes.
01:06:45Curious, I asked, what's in these?
01:06:47My father stepped forward, picked one up, and handed it to me.
01:06:52Open it and see.
01:06:53I carefully unwrapped it.
01:06:56Inside was a diamond bracelet.
01:06:59A realization hit me instantly.
01:07:01I rushed to open the rest.
01:07:03A princess dress.
01:07:05A crown.
01:07:07A necklace.
01:07:09One after another.
01:07:11There were exactly 26 items.
01:07:15No more, no less.
01:07:17My eyes burned as tears welled up.
01:07:20These were birthday gifts.
01:07:22Even when I wasn't with them, they had prepared one for me every single year, waiting for the
01:07:28day I would finally come home and open them.
01:07:32Growing up in the orphanage, the bullying had convinced me that no one in this world would
01:07:37ever love me.
01:07:39So when Cain entered my life like a blazing light, I fell for him without hesitation.
01:07:45But now I finally understood.
01:07:48Even when I didn't know it, my parents had always loved me.
01:07:52I stepped forward and wrapped my arms tightly around them.
01:07:56Mom, Dad, I'm home.
01:07:59My mom looked at me helplessly.
01:08:02Phoenix, I promise he's a good person.
01:08:05Just meet him once.
01:08:07If you don't like him, I'll find a way to call it off, okay?
01:08:11The first problem I faced after coming home turned out to be an arranged match.
01:08:17Back when my mom and her best friend were pregnant at the same time, they made a promise.
01:08:22If one had a boy and the other a girl, they would arrange a future match.
01:08:27If the children were the same gender, they would grow up like siblings.
01:08:31When they found out it was a boy and a girl, they were thrilled.
01:08:35They thought their friendship would turn into family.
01:08:38But not long after, I was taken.
01:08:41The arrangement was put on hold.
01:08:44A few days ago, after confirming that I was single, my mom and her friend brought it up
01:08:50again at the same time.
01:08:51The man was still single too.
01:08:54So the two mothers decided to revive the arrangement and let us meet.
01:09:00After five years in a failed relationship, I still hadn't fully recovered.
01:09:06The idea of starting something new made me uneasy.
01:09:09But I didn't want to tell my mom everything I had been through.
01:09:12I didn't want her to worry, so I agreed to meet him.
01:09:16I figured I would just explain things clearly in person.
01:09:20Even being friends would be fine.
01:09:22The moment I nodded, my mom lit up with excitement, and immediately started setting a time, as if
01:09:29afraid something might change.
01:09:31The two mothers scheduled dinner for that very afternoon at the estate.
01:09:36By the afternoon, my mom had even called in a stylist to get me ready.
01:09:41I had no choice but to let her fuss over me.
01:09:45What I didn't expect was that when I finally met my so-called fiancé,
01:09:50I recognized him instantly.
01:09:54You?
01:09:55You?
01:09:56We spoke at the same time.
01:09:59I stared at the man in front of me, surprised.
01:10:02It was Vincent Gray.
01:10:03Vincent clearly hadn't expected it either.
01:10:06My mom and his mother exchanged a knowing look, smiles flickering across their faces as
01:10:12they quickly made excuses to leave, giving us space.
01:10:15For a moment, the large garden felt awkwardly quiet with just the two of us.
01:10:21Vincent broke the silence first.
01:10:24Aria.
01:10:24I didn't expect the daughter the Lyra family found to be you.
01:10:28We had gone to the same university back in China, studying in the same major.
01:10:33I nodded.
01:10:35Given the relationship between our families, he must have already heard what happened to me.
01:10:40There was no need to explain further.
01:10:43He hesitated slightly before speaking again.
01:10:47Aria.
01:10:49I remember your empathic sense.
01:10:52I instinctively touched the back of my neck.
01:10:55I had never told my parents about my weak empathic sense.
01:10:59I didn't want them to know how unhappy my childhood had been.
01:11:03It would only make them feel guilty.
01:11:05So I told him everything.
01:11:07My five-year relationship with Cain.
01:11:09How it ended.
01:11:10And how my empathic sense finally went through its awakening.
01:11:15At the end, I added quietly.
01:11:17Vincent.
01:11:18I need you to keep this between us.
01:11:21I don't want my parents to worry.
01:11:23He pretended to think for a moment, then said with a hint of reluctance.
01:11:28I can do that.
01:11:31But I have one condition.
01:11:35I blinked in surprise.
01:11:37I hadn't interacted with Vincent much before.
01:11:40But I remembered him as easygoing and kind.
01:11:43Still, I was asking him for a favor.
01:11:46It was only fair.
01:11:47What's the condition?
01:11:49He smiled.
01:11:50A playful glint in his eyes.
01:11:53Can I stop calling you Aria and call you Phoenix instead?
01:11:57And you don't have to call me Vincent so formally either.
01:12:00I hadn't expected something so simple.
01:12:03Ever since I changed my name, people around me had been calling me Phoenix.
01:12:08But somehow, hearing it from him felt different.
01:12:12Of course, Vincent.
01:12:15Thinking about the arranged match, I hesitated before finally gathering the courage to speak.
01:12:21Vincent.
01:12:24You already know I just came out of a failed relationship.
01:12:28I'm not ready for anything new right now.
01:12:31About the arrangement.
01:12:33I had assumed that me being an Omega might make him feel embarrassed or slighted.
01:12:38But his expression stayed calm.
01:12:40It's fine.
01:12:43I'll explain it to my mum.
01:12:45Honestly, on my way here I was already thinking about how to bring this up.
01:12:50Restrawn this up.
01:12:52Without affecting our family's relationship.
01:12:54He paused, then smiled.
01:12:57I didn't expect the Lyra family's daughter to be you.
01:13:01Even if we call off the arrangement, we can still be good friends, right?
01:13:06Relief washed over me.
01:13:08I smiled and nodded.
01:13:09Of course.
01:13:10Maybe it was because we had shared the same university.
01:13:14The same memories.
01:13:15Having just arrived in England, everything still felt unfamiliar.
01:13:20But with Vincent, I felt a sense of ease I hadn't expected.
01:13:25We started talking about the past, and I realized we had so many shared interests.
01:13:31Before long, we grew closer, even meeting up from time to time to hang out.
01:13:37One day, after feeding seagulls by the coast, Vincent walked me back home.
01:13:42We ended up standing by the front gate, laughing and talking about everything that had happened earlier.
01:13:48I don't know how long we stood there.
01:13:50Then, from behind me, I heard a familiar voice.
01:13:53Little Wolf
01:13:57After spotting a familiar figure in the news, Cain used every connection he had to track down her identity.
01:14:04Because the Lyra family had deep roots overseas while Cain remained in China,
01:14:09it took him half a month to finally uncover information about me.
01:14:14The moment he saw the photo from the banquet, he knew.
01:14:18That was his little wolf.
01:14:20Even with a different name.
01:14:22He was certain.
01:14:52Experiencing my death.
01:14:53He had come to realize more than ever that he could not live without me.
01:14:58He planned to apologize sincerely.
01:15:01To promise that he would never be tempted by another Omega again.
01:15:05He even imagined that once I forgave him, he would hold an even grander mate ceremony,
01:15:12one that would surpass anything before it, and declare his love to the world.
01:15:17What he didn't expect was that when he finally saw me again, a month later, I was already standing beside
01:15:25another Alpha.
01:15:27Vincent and I had been talking, completely absorbed, for nearly an hour.
01:15:32Cain stood behind a wall like an intruder peeking into someone else's happiness.
01:15:38But the moment he saw that familiar figure, longing crashed over him like a tidal wave.
01:15:45Just before he could no longer hold it in, he finally called out the name he had been repeating in
01:15:51his mind.
01:15:52After nearly a month, he was seeing me again, alive.
01:15:57His eyes reddened, his voice unsteady.
01:15:59Little wolf, I finally found you.
01:16:03You're not dead.
01:16:05You're really here.
01:16:08He instinctively ignored the Alpha, standing beside me.
01:16:13The moment I heard that familiar voice, I let out a quiet sigh.
01:16:18I had always known the fake death wouldn't fool Cain forever.
01:16:22I just hadn't expected him to track me down in England this quickly.
01:16:27I gave Vincent a subtle look, signaling him to leave first.
01:16:32Then I turned around, my expression cold as I looked straight at Cain.
01:16:37Why are you here?
01:16:39Area is dead.
01:16:40I'm Phoenix now.
01:16:42Cain finally recalled everything he had learned over the past two weeks.
01:16:47His little wolf was never an orphan.
01:16:50I was Phoenix, the lost daughter of the Lyra family, their most cherished child.
01:16:55Little wolf, no, Phoenix.
01:16:59I know I was wrong.
01:17:01I've already dealt with the beta.
01:17:04The child is gone too.
01:17:07Can you forgive me?
01:17:09With his intelligence, it didn't take much to figure out that the body at the mate ceremony had been staged.
01:17:15It was nothing more than my way of escaping after my heart had already died.
01:17:21Now that he had finally found me again, the person he had thought about day and night, he was determined
01:17:26to apologize and beg for forgiveness.
01:17:30I let out a quiet laugh.
01:17:32I had seen with my own eyes how he treated the beta.
01:17:36And now he could dismiss everything so easily, saying he had taken care of her and the pup as if
01:17:42it meant nothing.
01:17:43I used to think he had simply transferred his love from me to someone else.
01:17:48Now, I understood the truth.
01:17:51He was rotten to the core.
01:17:54He didn't truly love anyone.
01:17:56Only himself.
01:17:58Kane, I regret ever loving you.
01:18:01Those few simple words drained all the color from Kane's face.
01:18:06He couldn't understand it.
01:18:08For five years, we had been so in love.
01:18:11We had been happy.
01:18:12How could I regret it now?
01:18:14And that word regret, did it mean I didn't love him anymore?
01:18:21The thought alone made his chest tighten with pain.
01:18:25No, that couldn't be true.
01:18:28It had only been a month.
01:18:30How could I have stopped loving him so quickly?
01:18:33In his mind, I was still angry.
01:18:35I just hadn't forgiven him yet.
01:18:38Kane stepped forward reaching for my hand, wanting to explain.
01:18:43Kane, before he could touch me, I took a step back, putting distance between us.
01:18:48The hurt in his expression was obvious, but he quickly tried to explain himself.
01:18:55Phoenix, I don't mean anything else.
01:18:57I just want to explain.
01:18:59Believe me, I've only ever loved you.
01:19:05I never had real feelings for that beta.
01:19:09Can you forgive me and come back with me?
01:19:12I promise, there will never be another Omega around me again.
01:19:16I swear I'll only love you.
01:19:18We can have an even grander mate ceremony.
01:19:22By the end, there was a flicker of hope in his eyes.
01:19:26I didn't react.
01:19:28My expression remained cold.
01:19:31Five years ago when you got together with me, you made the same promise.
01:19:35You said you would only love me.
01:19:38And you still cheated.
01:19:40I won't believe you again.
01:19:43And I will never forgive you.
01:19:46You should leave.
01:19:48Don't come back.
01:19:50When I first discovered his betrayal, the pain had been unbearable.
01:19:55There was even a moment when I hesitated.
01:19:58Because he still treated me the same as before, I thought maybe I could pretend nothing had happened.
01:20:05Maybe we could complete the mate bond.
01:20:08And he would continue to treat me well.
01:20:11Maybe he would keep the other Omega out of my sight.
01:20:15But after Lai, after Lai, after seeing him entangled with the Beta, with my own eyes, I realized I couldn't
01:20:24do it.
01:20:24I couldn't live like nothing had happened.
01:20:28What I wanted had always been something real.
01:20:31A love that was honest.
01:20:35And once Kane tainted that love, I no longer wanted it.
01:20:40Back then, I had already made my decision.
01:20:43I would never forgive him.
01:20:45I turned to leave.
01:20:47But Kane wasn't ready to give up.
01:20:50In a moment of panic, he grabbed my wrist.
01:20:55Little Wolf, I swear.
01:20:57My heart has always belonged to you.
01:20:59You're the only one I love.
01:21:01I pulled free from his grip and looked at him.
01:21:05The urgency and sincerity on his face didn't seem fake.
01:21:08But I only let out a soft, humorless laugh.
01:21:13Love me?
01:21:15You talked about the Beta with your friends right in front of me.
01:21:20Was that love?
01:21:23You had my mate ceremony designer make a dress for her.
01:21:27Was that love?
01:21:29You snuck downstairs in the middle of the night to see her while I was asleep.
01:21:33Was that love?
01:21:35If that's your version of love, it's cheap.
01:21:38I don't want it.
01:21:40With every word Kane's face grew paler.
01:21:44By the end he looked like he could barely stand.
01:21:47My words cut into him like a blade, tearing his heart apart piece by piece.
01:21:52Never in his life had Kane hated himself this much.
01:21:57If he had never gotten involved with the Beta in the first place, none of this would have happened.
01:22:05Kane's voice trembled slightly.
01:22:07Little Wolf, are you really never going to forgive me?
01:22:11I nodded without hesitation.
01:22:14That's right.
01:22:15Never.
01:22:16I didn't wait to see his reaction.
01:22:19I turned and walked inside.
01:22:22The next day, Vincent and I had plans to attend a concert.
01:22:27Ever since my empathic sense went through its awakening, I had grown especially sensitive to emotions.
01:22:34The calm of nature.
01:22:36The intensity of music.
01:22:38The sincerity or deceit in people's voices.
01:22:41Vincent happened to be a huge fan of classical music, and every time I went to a concert with him,
01:22:47I learned something new.
01:22:51Kane stood outside the estate the entire night.
01:22:54My words from yesterday echoed endlessly in his mind.
01:22:59What once felt like relief after his first time with the Beta had now come back like a blade, striking
01:23:05him full force.
01:23:07Still, he wanted one more chance.
01:23:10He refused to believe that five years of love could be erased so completely.
01:23:16After getting Vincent's message, I headed downstairs, humming like a carefree bird.
01:23:22My mom, who was having breakfast, teased me when she saw me.
01:23:26Who was the one who said they didn't want to meet him?
01:23:29Now it looks like you can't wait to see him every day.
01:23:32I'd say this match is looking pretty promising.
01:23:34Mom, we're just friends.
01:23:37But for some reason, I felt my cheeks warm.
01:23:40I quickly ran out the door.
01:23:43The tickets for today's concert were hard to get, and Vincent had told me that one of his favorite cellists
01:23:49would be performing.
01:23:51The moment I stepped outside, I saw Kane standing off to the side, completely still.
01:23:57I acted as if I hadn't seen him, and ran straight toward Vincent.
01:24:03He was holding a sandwich, and handed it to me naturally.
01:24:07My mom asked me to bring this for you.
01:24:10I took a bite.
01:24:14My eyes lighting up.
01:24:16Aunt Grace's cooking is as amazing as ever.
01:24:19Come on, we're gonna be late.
01:24:22You still haven't told me who else is performing today.
01:24:26Kane remained where he was, watching as I walked farther and farther away.
01:24:31The moment I stepped out, he had wanted to call out to me, to try one last time.
01:24:38But then he saw the light in my eyes.
01:24:41That bright, eager happiness.
01:24:44It was a look he knew all too well.
01:24:46Back when we were together, I used to look at him like that all the time.
01:24:51But now, he hadn't seen it, in nearly two months.
01:24:58When he thought back to the days before I staged my death, he realized something.
01:25:04Back then, my eyes had been empty, like still water without a ripple.
01:25:09Nothing could stir any emotion in me.
01:25:12And yet, at the beginning of our relationship, I had looked at him the way I had just looked at
01:25:18Vincent.
01:25:20That was when he finally understood.
01:25:23What this relationship had left me with was nothing but pain.
01:25:27He had no right to ask for my forgiveness anymore.
01:25:31He booked a flight back home that same afternoon.
01:25:34Before leaving, he realized he didn't have my current number.
01:25:38So he borrowed a piece of paper and a pen from a passerby, and wrote a message.
01:25:44He placed it somewhere visible by the gate.
01:25:48After one last look at the place where I would spend the rest of my life,
01:25:53he got into the car, and left.
01:25:58A gust of wind lifted the paper into the air.
01:26:05On it, there was only one sentence.
01:26:08Little wolf, please let me call you that a last time.
01:26:12Little wolf, please let me call you that a last time.
01:26:15I'm sorry.
01:26:16I wish you a lifetime of happiness.
01:26:18Spring in England
01:26:20Vincent and I walked through the rose garden at Ashford Manor.
01:26:25Phoenix.
01:26:26Vincent said stopping in his tracks.
01:26:28His expression was more serious than I had ever seen before.
01:26:32I know you're not ready right now.
01:26:34But I want you to know,
01:26:36if one day you're willing to believe in love again.
01:26:38I'll be here waiting.
01:26:40I looked at him, warmth spreading through my chest.
01:26:44Maybe, one day, I would believe in love again.
01:26:49But for now, I was content.
01:26:52Loved by my parents.
01:26:54Surrounded by friends.
01:26:56Running freely under the moonlight.
01:26:58Feeling the breeze.
01:27:00And breathing in the scent of flowers.
01:27:03I am Phoenix.
01:27:05And I have risen from the ashes.
01:27:07I'm not friends.
01:27:07I love you too.
01:27:07Please dong.
01:27:07Bye-bye.
