Transcript

00:00:04Audrey, you finally came.

00:00:07You really need to control Harrison.

00:00:10He never knows when to stop.

00:00:12Every time, he leaves me unable to stand, and he still will not let me go.

00:00:16Can you teach me how to handle him?

00:00:18I raised my hand and slapped her hard across the face.

00:00:21Caught off guard, she fell beside the coffee table.

00:00:24Audrey, are you insane?

00:00:26Harrison shot to his feet, grabbed my wrist, and yanked me back hard.

00:00:31I stumbled into the ice bucket stand behind me.

00:00:33My side slammed against the marble counter so hard my vision went black, but I still straightened up.

00:00:38Then I took out my phone and played a recording.

00:00:41Kenzie's laughter with another man came through clearly.

00:00:43Aren't you afraid Harrison will find out?

00:00:45Find out what?

00:00:46In bed, he is nowhere near you.

00:00:49Once that boring, almost luna of his is finally kicked out, we can...

00:00:52Shh!

00:00:53The recording cut off.

00:00:54The color drained from Kenzie's face.

00:00:56How...

00:00:57How do you have that?

00:00:59Did you really think you covered your tracks?

00:01:01I turned to Harrison.

00:01:03His expression was no longer simple rage.

00:01:05It was as if something he believed had been smashed right in front of him.

00:01:09Harrison, this is the pure little beta you said was like a sister to you?

00:01:14The men she has been meeting behind your back are not limited to the one in that recording.

00:01:18Do you want me to submit the full list and evidence to the PAC Council for verification and filing?

00:01:23Oh, and by the way, she has been looking through your email, your private information, and your make contract documents.

00:01:29What she signed without authorization was not some meaningless scrap of paper.

00:01:33It was an official PAC document entered into the Council record, powerful enough to sever the alliance-mating contract between

00:01:39two major werewolf families and alter the fate of both bloodlines.

00:01:42You are lying!

00:01:43You are lying!

00:01:44Lying?

00:01:44Then let's call the man from the recording here and confront him.

00:01:47He lives near Dupont Circle.

00:01:48He can be here in ten minutes.

00:01:49I picked up the half glass of martini from the table and slowly walked up to Kenzie.

00:01:54This drink is for the child we lost.

00:01:56I splashed the liquor into her face.

00:01:58She screamed and shrank back his makeup, tears and alcohol smeared together.

00:02:02Security!

00:02:03Harrison shouted almost on instinct, but this time, he did not move.

00:02:07He did not help her up.

00:02:08He did not immediately shield her behind him like before.

00:02:11He stood there, his Adam's apple working hard, as if a silent earthquake had torn through him.

00:02:17Harrison!

00:02:18What are you standing there for?

00:02:20Take Kenzie to get her face treated.

00:02:23When I woke up, the ward was empty, but Harrison's profile had just been updated.

00:02:28Beside a campfire, Kenzie leaned intimately against his shoulder.

00:02:31In front of them was a cape with candles spelling 900.

00:02:34The caption read,

00:02:35Life is short.

00:02:36So grateful to have you as my perfect partner for these 900 days.

00:02:40I stared at that photo and finally laughed.

00:02:42So these five years have been a joke from beginning to end.

00:02:45I sent him one last message.

00:02:48I am tired.

00:02:49Contact the lawyer and terminate the May contract.

00:02:51If you do not reply before midnight, I will take it as consent for the rejection right to enter the

00:02:55registry process.

00:02:56Not until 1159 did the status bar show typing.

00:03:02I blocked him directly, then I called another number.

00:03:07Nathaniel, what you promised me before, does it still stand?

00:03:10Of course it does.

00:03:12Good.

00:03:13I do not just want to leave him.

00:03:16I want them ruined.

00:03:18In three days, I'll come to your territory myself.

00:03:20Kenzie signed mate documents on his behalf, stole private mate communications,

00:03:24and interfered with the termination process of an alliance mating contract.

00:03:27I have organized all the evidence.

00:03:29As for Harrison, the alpha heir of a major pack allowed a beta to overstep and humiliate his future Luna.

00:03:34That is enough to make the Elder Council, the Pact Registry, and the Disciplinary Office all turn their eyes on

00:03:39him.

00:03:40When do you plan to strike?

00:03:42I have last case.

00:03:45Soon.

00:03:50But before that, I need to play along with her one last time.

00:03:56On the day I ended our mate contract, I showed up at the International Airport.

00:04:01One secretly taken photo caused an uppour among several major East Coast Pact spouse groups.

00:04:06No one knew this was not an ordinary breakup.

00:04:08This was the first step toward ending the alliance mating contract between two ancient Pact.

00:04:14Once the receipt entered the Pact Registry and the elders witnessed the rejection right,

00:04:18five years between me and the Cole family would be raced for good.

00:04:22Brother, your ex Luna looks like a movie star.

00:04:26Ending a mate bond is huge.

00:04:28How did you not breathe a word about it?

00:04:31Harrison stared at the woman on the screen as she walked away with her luggage.

00:04:34His face changed.

00:04:36He immediately called Kenzie.

00:04:39Oh, the termination papers?

00:04:42I logged into your cloud account and clicked approve for you.

00:04:45It is not like you ever treated her as your real contractor, right?

00:04:53Harrison and I were bound together by an alliance between two ancient werewolf packs.

00:04:57I carried the title of Future Luna and waited for him for five years.

00:05:01But in those five years, we never truly completed the mate bond.

00:05:04He treated me colder than he would treat a complete stranger.

00:05:07When I needed 17 stitches after a car accident, he replied with only one words, noted.

00:05:13Only later did I learn that Kenzie had been replying to my messages for him all those years.

00:05:17He said Kenzie was half warm with him, his most capable lady.

00:05:20That was the moment I finally understood him.

00:05:23He was not cold.

00:05:24He had simply given all his warmth to another woman until the pup in my womb could not be

00:05:28saved because of bloodline complications.

00:05:30After the healer wing gave the final diagnosis, I lay on the operating table and sent him one

00:05:35last message.

00:05:36I am at the healer wing.

00:05:38Our pup cannot be saved.

00:05:40The surgery is about to begin.

00:05:44A reply came back quickly.

00:05:46One word, noted.

00:05:48I stared at that one word for a long time.

00:05:51Long enough for the unfinished marking on my neck to grow cold.

00:05:55Strictly speaking, Harrison and I had never truly been mates.

00:05:59No Luna ceremony.

00:06:00No elder witness.

00:06:01No claiming bite.

00:06:03Not even one formal mating oath.

00:06:11In the pack registry, I was only his pending confirmation future Luna.

00:06:16The ridiculous part was that I had waited five years.

00:06:20Waited for the day he would truly accept me.

00:06:24Halfway through the surgery, I suddenly began hemorrhaging.

00:06:27The healer called my emergency contact again and again, but every call went to voicemail.

00:06:31That fragile mate bond slowly broke apart while I was under anesthesia.

00:06:34When I woke up, the ward was empty, but Harrison's profile had just been updated.

00:06:39Beside a campfire, Kenzie leaned intimately against his shoulder.

00:06:42In front of them was a cape with candles spelling 900.

00:06:45The caption read,

00:06:46Life is short.

00:06:47So grateful to have you as my perfect partner for these 900 days.

00:06:51I stared at that photo and finally laughed.

00:06:53So these five years had been a joke from beginning to end.

00:06:56I sent him one last message.

00:06:58I am tired.

00:06:59Contact the lawyer and terminate the mate contract.

00:07:01If you do not reply before midnight, I will take it as consent for the rejection right to enter the

00:07:06registry process.

00:07:07Not until 1159 did the status bar show typing.

00:07:12I blocked him directly, then I called another number.

00:07:17Nathaniel, what you promised me before, does it still stand?

00:07:21Of course it does.

00:07:22Good.

00:07:23I do not just want to leave him.

00:07:27I want them ruined.

00:07:28In three days, I'll come to your territory myself.

00:07:31Kenzie signed mate documents on his behalf,

00:07:33stole private mate communications,

00:07:34and interfered with the termination process of an alliance mating contract.

00:07:38I have organized all the evidence.

00:07:39As for Harrison,

00:07:40the alpha heir of a major pack allowed a beta to overstep and humiliate his future lunar.

00:07:45That is enough to make the Elder Council,

00:07:47the pack registry,

00:07:48and the disciplinary office all turn their eyes on him.

00:07:50When do you plan to strike?

00:07:52I will not be able to leave.

00:07:54I will not be able to leave.

00:07:55I will not be able to leave.

00:07:56I will not be able to leave.

00:07:57I will not be able to leave.

00:08:01But before that,

00:08:02I need to play along with her one last time.

00:08:06After I was discharged,

00:08:08I returned to the house in Alexandria.

00:08:10Harrison sat on the sofa,

00:08:11reading a military brief.

00:08:13He barely looked up.

00:08:14Kenzie said you went to the hospital.

00:08:16What happened this time?

00:08:18Before I could speak,

00:08:19his phone rang.

00:08:21Kenzie's profile picture lit up on the screen.

00:08:23Harrison impatiently declined the call.

00:08:25What were you about to say?

00:08:26Nothing.

00:08:30What is it now?

00:08:32Because I did not go to the hospital with you?

00:08:35Today marks 900 days since Kenzie and I met.

00:08:38Is that what this is about?

00:08:41Only then did I understand.

00:08:43To him,

00:08:45terminating our mate contract

00:08:46was just me throwing a tantrum.

00:08:48I am not throwing a tantrum.

00:08:52The lawyer will send the termination papers to your email.

00:08:55The receipt will be synced to the PAC registry.

00:08:58Stop threatening to leave every time something happens.

00:09:01I canceled drinks just to come home and be with you.

00:09:05Stop being so dramatic.

00:09:07So the miscarriage,

00:09:09the stitches,

00:09:10signing surgical consent papers alone,

00:09:12all of it was just drama to him.

00:09:15He left soon after.

00:09:23Hours later,

00:09:24Kenzie sent over the signed receipt

00:09:26and a voice message.

00:09:28Audrey,

00:09:29Harrison never even changed his cloud password.

00:09:31The lawyer kept pushing,

00:09:32so I signed it for him.

00:09:33Do you think you will regret it

00:09:34when he realizes he gave up such a beautiful wife

00:09:37with his own hand?

00:09:38I forwarded the receipt straight to the lawyer

00:09:40and officially started the process.

00:09:46Late that night,

00:09:47Taylor's call jolted me awake.

00:09:50Audrey,

00:09:50get downtown now.

00:09:51Something happens.

00:09:53Fighting through the pain,

00:09:54I rushed to the high-ranking werewolf members club

00:09:56at DuPont Circuit.

00:09:58Kenzie,

00:10:00truth or dare?

00:10:02Do you have any secrets

00:10:04you have been hiding from your commander?

00:10:06Of course I do.

00:10:10Harrison and I slept together

00:10:11a long time ago.

00:10:16The music stopped dead.

00:10:17The room went silent.

00:10:18Every eye landed on me.

00:10:20I understood at once.

00:10:22That phone call had been arranged by her on purpose.

00:10:26She wanted me to hear it with my own ears.

00:10:29She wanted me stripped of every last shred of dignity

00:10:31in front of our people.

00:10:33Worse,

00:10:33every person in that private room

00:10:35was no ordinary drinking buddy.

00:10:36They were core leaders from major packs

00:10:38and every word they heard

00:10:40could become valid internal testimony.

00:10:42She was not only trying to ruin my reputation,

00:10:44she wanted to destroy the last bit of dignity

00:10:46I had left as the unrecognized future Luna

00:10:48of the Cole family.

00:10:50Kenzie walked toward me

00:10:51and took my hand like we were close friends.

00:10:53Audrey,

00:10:54you finally came.

00:10:56You really need to control Harrison.

00:10:58He never knows when to stop.

00:11:00Every time he leaves me unable to stand

00:11:03and he still will not let me go.

00:11:04Can you teach me how to handle him?

00:11:07I raised my hand

00:11:08and slapped her hard across the face.

00:11:10Caught off guard,

00:11:11she fell beside the coffee table.

00:11:13Audrey,

00:11:14are you insane?

00:11:15Harrison shot to his feet,

00:11:17grabbed my wrist

00:11:17and yanked me back hard.

00:11:19I stumbled into the ice bucket stand behind me.

00:11:21My side slammed against the marble counter

00:11:23so hard my vision went black,

00:11:25but I still straightened up.

00:11:27Then I took out my phone

00:11:28and played a recording.

00:11:29Kenzie's laughter with another man

00:11:30came through clearly.

00:11:32Aren't you afraid Harrison will find out?

00:11:33Find out what?

00:11:34In bed,

00:11:35he is nowhere near you.

00:11:37Once that boring,

00:11:38almost Luna of his

00:11:39is finally kicked out,

00:11:40we can...

00:11:41Shh!

00:11:41The recording cut off.

00:11:43The color drained from Kenzie's face.

00:11:45How...

00:11:45How do you have that?

00:11:47Did you really think you covered your tracks?

00:11:50I turned to Harrison.

00:11:51His expression was no longer simple rage.

00:11:54It was as if something he believed

00:11:55had been smashed right in front of him.

00:11:57Harrison,

00:11:58this is the pure little beta

00:12:00you said was like a sister to you?

00:12:02The men she has been meeting behind your back

00:12:04are not limited to the one in that recording.

00:12:07Do you want me to submit the full list

00:12:08and evidence to the PAC council

00:12:10for verification and filing?

00:12:12Oh, and by the way,

00:12:13she has been looking through your email,

00:12:15your private information,

00:12:15and your make contract documents.

00:12:18What she signed without authorization

00:12:19was not from a meaningless scrap of paper.

00:12:22It was an official PAC document

00:12:23entered into the council record

00:12:24powerful enough to sever

00:12:26the alliance-vading contract

00:12:27between two major werewolf families

00:12:29and alter the fate of both bloodlines.

00:12:30You are lying!

00:12:32Lying?

00:12:33Then let's call the man

00:12:33from the recording here

00:12:34and confront him.

00:12:35He lives near DuPont Circle.

00:12:36He can be here in ten minutes.

00:12:37I picked up the half glass of martini

00:12:39from the table

00:12:40and slowly walked up to Kenzie.

00:12:43This drink is for the child we lost.

00:12:45I splashed the liquor into her face.

00:12:47She screamed and shrank back his makeup,

00:12:48tears and alcohol smeared together.

00:12:50Security!

00:12:51Harrison shouted almost on instinct,

00:12:53but this time,

00:12:54he did not move.

00:12:55He did not help her up.

00:12:56He did not immediately shield her

00:12:58behind him like before.

00:12:59He stood there,

00:13:01his Adam's apple working hard,

00:13:02as if a silent earthquake

00:13:04had torn through him.

00:13:05Harrison!

00:13:06What are you standing there for?

00:13:09Take Kenzie to get her face treated.

00:13:12You are not coming with me?

00:13:15Harrison did not answer.

00:13:17I turned and left.

00:13:18Audrey!

00:13:19Wait!

00:13:20That recording,

00:13:21was it real?

00:13:22You can keep believing her.

00:13:24After all these years,

00:13:25nothing I say

00:13:25has ever mattered to you.

00:13:29When I walked out of the club,

00:13:31the car I had called

00:13:32was already waiting at the entrance.

00:13:35My phone buzzed.

00:13:36Nathaniel had sent a message.

00:13:38How did the recording land?

00:13:40It hit exactly where I wanted.

00:13:43Next step.

00:13:44The banquet.

00:13:46A few days later,

00:13:48at a private estate in Maryland,

00:13:49my injuries had barely improved.

00:13:51I came here to say a final goodbye

00:13:53to Harrison's mother, Eleanor.

00:13:55She was sitting in the courtyard

00:13:56on a video call with Kenzie,

00:13:58smiling warmly,

00:13:59surrounded by the steady,

00:14:00dignified presence

00:14:01of a werewolf elder.

00:14:02She played the generous,

00:14:03kind senior perfectly.

00:14:04After she hung up,

00:14:05that smile vanished

00:14:06like a mask being removed,

00:14:07revealing her usual lofty scrutiny.

00:14:08Audrey, as your elder,

00:14:09I still want to give you

00:14:10one piece of advice.

00:14:11Kenzie and Harrison

00:14:13grew up together

00:14:13in the werewolf community.

00:14:15Their scents blend,

00:14:16their instincts move together.

00:14:18That bond is something

00:14:18you can never compare to.

00:14:21You are too dull,

00:14:23too lacking in charm.

00:14:24Instead of clinging

00:14:25to that useless pride,

00:14:26you should learn from her.

00:14:27Learn how to please

00:14:28an alpha at home.

00:14:30My fingertips are cold.

00:14:32Harrison's mother

00:14:32was seriously advising me

00:14:34to learn from a woman

00:14:34interfering in my marriage,

00:14:36to learn how to please

00:14:36my husband.

00:14:37She knew I was still

00:14:38the future Luna

00:14:39of the Cole family in name,

00:14:40and she knew

00:14:41the Alliance mating contract

00:14:42was still recorded

00:14:43between the two bloodlines.

00:14:44But in her eyes,

00:14:45this Luna title,

00:14:46a symbol of werewolf dignity

00:14:48and pack honor,

00:14:49was never an identity

00:14:50to be respected and protected.

00:14:51It was merely

00:14:52a decorative prop

00:14:53that could be placed anywhere

00:14:54and replaced at any time.

00:14:56Do not bother, Eleanor.

00:14:57Harrison and I

00:14:58are already ending things.

00:14:59Yes, Eleanor!

00:15:00Kenzie came jogging in

00:15:01with a pastry box.

00:15:02Her beta scent was soft

00:15:03and obedient

00:15:04as she affectionately

00:15:05brushed her cheek

00:15:05against Eleanor's,

00:15:06then cried out

00:15:07as if she had only

00:15:08just remembered something.

00:15:09Oh my God,

00:15:10I almost forgot.

00:15:11Tonight is the

00:15:11defense appreciation banquet

00:15:12for the military-industrial alliance.

00:15:14Every high-ranking

00:15:15East Coast werewolf

00:15:16and military leader

00:15:16will be there.

00:15:17As the alpha heir

00:15:18of the Cole family,

00:15:18Harrison has to attend.

00:15:19He needs a date by his side,

00:15:20so I need to hurry over.

00:15:21After saying that,

00:15:22she turned to me

00:15:23as if she had only

00:15:24just noticed I was there.

00:15:25Audrey,

00:15:26you are here too.

00:15:27About what happened

00:15:27at the club,

00:15:28I drank too much

00:15:29and talked nonsense.

00:15:30Come with me tonight.

00:15:30I will explain

00:15:31all the misunderstandings

00:15:32on every pack leader, okay?

00:15:33Beneath her soft,

00:15:34docile beta scent,

00:15:35she could not hide

00:15:35the greedy,

00:15:36vicious aura

00:15:36of a predator lying weight.

00:15:37Of course I knew

00:15:38she was setting a trap.

00:15:39But I also remembered

00:15:40what Nathaniel had told me before.

00:15:41The higher she jumps,

00:15:43the harder she falls.

00:15:44Give her the stage.

00:15:46Sure.

00:15:51The moment I walked

00:15:52into the banquet hall

00:15:53that night,

00:15:54I understood

00:15:54Kenzie's real purpose.

00:15:56Nearly every female guest

00:15:57wore couture

00:15:58with polished makeup,

00:15:59scents as carefully refined

00:16:00as their jewelry.

00:16:01Every gesture

00:16:01held the proper

00:16:02elegance of werewolf

00:16:03high society.

00:16:04Even their wolf power

00:16:05restrained to perfection.

00:16:06And I was wearing

00:16:07only a faded t-shirt

00:16:08and jeans

00:16:08with no makeup at all.

00:16:10Kenzie, meanwhile,

00:16:11had changed

00:16:11into a deep beat

00:16:12backless Chanel evening gown,

00:16:14exposing her collarbones

00:16:15and the nape of her neck

00:16:16as if deliberately

00:16:17showing off

00:16:17the alpha scent she carried.

00:16:19Oh, goddess,

00:16:20I forgot to tell you

00:16:21there was a dress code tonight.

00:16:22Audrey,

00:16:22you do not mind, do you?

00:16:23People around us

00:16:24had already started looking over,

00:16:25some with contempt,

00:16:26some with curiosity,

00:16:27and some with the silent patience

00:16:28of people waiting for a show.

00:16:29Kenzie,

00:16:30you did this on purpose

00:16:31to embarrass me

00:16:32in front of these people,

00:16:33didn't you?

00:16:33I looked at her.

00:16:34My voice was calm,

00:16:35but just loud enough

00:16:36for several people nearby to hear.

00:16:37Her eyes turned red

00:16:38almost instantly.

00:16:39Harrison walked over with champagne

00:16:40and instinctively stepped in front of her.

00:16:41His protective alpha aura

00:16:43spread out at once,

00:16:44unmistakably biased.

00:16:45Harrison,

00:16:46I only wanted to make up

00:16:47for last time.

00:16:47Harrison looked at her,

00:16:49then at me.

00:16:49After that night at the club,

00:16:51there really had been a crack

00:16:52in the way he looked at Kenzie.

00:16:53But in the end,

00:16:54he still chose to stand on her side.

00:16:56He locked his hand around my wrist,

00:16:57trying to drag me deeper into the crowd

00:16:59and end this ugly confrontation by force.

00:17:01Just then,

00:17:02a drunk, red-faced man

00:17:03walked up to Kenzie,

00:17:04saying filthy things.

00:17:05His hand moved too close,

00:17:06violating the boundaries of pack,

00:17:07etiquette.

00:17:08Harrison's face went cold.

00:17:09His alpha pressure surged,

00:17:11instantly pinning the man in place.

00:17:12He seized the man's wrist stand,

00:17:14squeezed until the man screamed.

00:17:15I am fine,

00:17:16he just drank too much

00:17:16and said a few crude things.

00:17:19Go be with Audrey.

00:17:20Do not let her misunderstand again.

00:17:21With a dark expression,

00:17:23Harrison protected her

00:17:24and led her away.

00:17:25Audrey,

00:17:26what did I ever do to offend you?

00:17:28You actually paid off a man like this

00:17:29to humiliate me in public?

00:17:31There were Elder Council agents present,

00:17:33as well as witnesses from various packs.

00:17:35By throwing out that line,

00:17:36she was not just trying to embarrass me,

00:17:38she was trying to nail the words

00:17:39unfit, almost,

00:17:40Luna into tonight's Council record.

00:17:42Audrey,

00:17:42when did you become this vicious?

00:17:44I did not do it.

00:17:45But since you have already decided it was me,

00:17:47what is the point of explaining?

00:17:49So what do you want me to do?

00:17:51kneel in public

00:17:52and beg her forgiveness?

00:17:59Fine.

00:18:01I'm sorry.

00:18:02Is that what you wanted?

00:18:05Audrey,

00:18:06what kind of attitude is that?

00:18:08You need to apologize to Kenzie

00:18:09and to everyone here.

00:18:12Audrey,

00:18:12Harrison often tells me

00:18:13your emotions have always been unstable,

00:18:15that you overreact

00:18:16because of our working relationship.

00:18:18I know you only acted on impulse.

00:18:19I forgive you.

00:18:20So he had even told another woman

00:18:22about the most humiliating,

00:18:23most private feelings

00:18:24inside our marriage.

00:18:25In that moment,

00:18:26the fire in my chest

00:18:27finally burned

00:18:28all the way through.

00:18:29Fine.

00:18:29Since that is what you all think.

00:18:31I raised my hand

00:18:32and slapped Kenzie across the face

00:18:34with all my strength.

00:18:35She screamed and fell to the floor.

00:18:36I bent down,

00:18:37grabbed her by the collar

00:18:38and pulled hard.

00:18:39The expensive evening gown

00:18:41tore with a sharp rib.

00:18:43Help!

00:18:44Harrison, save me!

00:18:45The next second,

00:18:46I was shoved hard in the back.

00:18:48It was Harrison's hand.

00:18:49I crashed onto the marble floor.

00:18:50The back of my head

00:18:51struck the base of a Roman column

00:18:52and my vision darkened and waved.

00:18:54My wolf sank violently in that instant

00:18:55as if something icy

00:18:56had pressed her into deep water,

00:18:58even making breathing feel slow.

00:18:59My still recovering body grew cold.

00:19:01The wolf's state collapse

00:19:02the healer had warned me about

00:19:03began to overwhelm me again.

00:19:05Have you caused enough trouble?

00:19:07Be great.

00:19:08Two guards in black

00:19:09immediately stepped forward

00:19:10and clamped down on both my arms.

00:19:12I struggled desperately,

00:19:13but Harrison personally

00:19:14grabbed my wrist

00:19:15and dragged me outside.

00:19:16But the instant he let go,

00:19:18the strap of his military watch

00:19:19caught on the collar of my T-shirt,

00:19:21tearing the entire piece of fabric

00:19:22from my shoulder.

00:19:23A large expanse of skin

00:19:25and my bra strap

00:19:25were exposed directly

00:19:26under the gaze of Washington's

00:19:27political and business limits.

00:19:29Do not touch me!

00:19:30Get away!

00:19:31Elf clutched my chest tightly,

00:19:33but it was already too late.

00:19:34People around us raised their phones.

00:19:35Camera flashes burst one after another.

00:19:37Those judging, curious, contemptuous,

00:19:40gloating eyes were like

00:19:41countless hands pinning me in place,

00:19:42ripping me apart inch by inch.

00:19:44The scrutiny of every werewolf in the hall

00:19:45crushed together until I could barely breathe.

00:19:48Harrison stood two steps away

00:19:49and looked at me.

00:19:50His expression was not shock,

00:19:51not regret,

00:19:52but deeper disgust.

00:19:53As if the more wretched I looked,

00:19:54the more it proved I was out of control,

00:19:57Madwoman claimed I was.

00:19:58As if he had completely forgotten

00:20:00that under pack law,

00:20:01allowing outsiders to publicly

00:20:02humiliate one still bound,

00:20:04Nate was the ugliest failure

00:20:06of an alpha hare.

00:20:06I finally could not stop myself

00:20:08from crying,

00:20:09just as the flashes and laughter

00:20:10were about to swallow me whole.

00:20:12The doors of the banquet hall

00:20:13were pushed open.

00:20:22Audrey, you finally came.

00:20:25You really need to control Harrison.

00:20:28He never knows when to stop.

00:20:30Every time he leaves me unable to stand

00:20:32and he still will not let me go.

00:20:34Can you teach me how to handle him?

00:20:36I raised my hand

00:20:37and slapped her hard across the face.

00:20:40Caught off guard,

00:20:41she fell beside the coffee table.

00:20:42Audrey, are you insane?

00:20:45Harrison shot to his feet,

00:20:46grabbed my wrist

00:20:47and yanked me back hard.

00:20:49I stumbled into the ice bucket stand behind me.

00:20:51My side slammed against the marble counter

00:20:53so hard my vision went black,

00:20:55but I still straightened up.

00:20:56Then I took out my phone

00:20:57and played a recording.

00:20:59Kenzie's laughter with another man

00:21:00came through clearly.

00:21:01Aren't you afraid Harrison will find out?

00:21:03Find out what?

00:21:04In bed, he is nowhere near you.

00:21:06Once that boring, almost luna of his

00:21:09is finally kicked out,

00:21:10we can-

00:21:11The recording cut off.

00:21:12The color drained from Kenzie's face.

00:21:15How do you have that?

00:21:17Did you really think you covered your tracks?

00:21:19I turned to Harrison.

00:21:21His expression was no longer simple rage.

00:21:23It was as if something he believed

00:21:25had been smashed right in front of him.

00:21:27Harrison,

00:21:28this is the pure little beta

00:21:29you said was like a sister to you?

00:21:32The men she has been meeting behind your back

00:21:34are not limited to the one in that recording.

00:21:36Do you want me to submit the full list

00:21:38and evidence to the PAC Council

00:21:39for verification and filing?

00:21:41Oh, and by the way,

00:21:42she has been looking through your email,

00:21:44your private information,

00:21:45and your mate contract documents.

00:21:47What she signed without authorization

00:21:49was not some meaningless scrap of paper.

00:21:51It was an official PAC document

00:21:53entered into the Council record,

00:21:54powerful enough to sever the Alliance

00:21:56meeting contract between two major werewolf families

00:21:58and alter the fate of both bloodlines.

00:22:00You are lying!

00:22:02Lying?

00:22:02Then let's call the man from the recording here

00:22:04and confront him.

00:22:05He lives near DuPont Circle.

00:22:06He can be here in ten minutes.

00:22:07I picked up the half glass of martini from the table

00:22:09and slowly walked up to Kenzie.

00:22:12This drink is for the child we lost.

00:22:14I splashed the liquor into her face.

00:22:16She screamed and shrank back his makeup,

00:22:18tears and alcohol smeared together.

00:22:20Security!

00:22:21Harrison shouted almost on instinct,

00:22:23but this time he did not move.

00:22:25He did not help her up.

00:22:26He did not immediately shield her behind him like before.

00:22:29He stood there,

00:22:31his Adam's apple working hard,

00:22:32as if a silent earthquake had torn through him.

00:22:35Harrison!

00:22:36What are you standing there for?

00:22:38Take Kenzie to get her face treated.

00:22:41When I woke up,

00:22:43the ward was empty,

00:22:44but Harrison's profile had just been updated.

00:22:46Beside a campfire,

00:22:47Kenzie leaned intimately against his shoulder.

00:22:49In front of them was a cake with candles spelling 900.

00:22:52The caption read,

00:22:53life is short,

00:22:54so grateful to have you as my perfect partner for these 900 days.

00:22:58I stared at that photo and finally laughed.

00:23:00So these five years had been a joke from beginning to end.

00:23:03I sent him one last message.

00:23:06I am tired.

00:23:07Contact the lawyer and terminate the main contract.

00:23:09If you do not reply before midnight,

00:23:11I will take it as consent for the rejection right to enter the registry process.

00:23:14Not until 1159 did the status bar show typing.

00:23:20I blocked him directly.

00:23:22Then I called another number.

00:23:25Nathaniel,

00:23:25what you promised me before,

00:23:27does it still stand?

00:23:28Of course it does.

00:23:30Good.

00:23:31I do not just want to leave him.

00:23:34I want them ruined.

00:23:36In three days,

00:23:37I'll come to your territory myself.

00:23:38Kenzie signed mate documents on his behalf,

00:23:40stole private mate communications,

00:23:42and interfered with the termination process of an alliance mating contract.

00:23:45I have organized all the evidence.

00:23:47As for Harrison,

00:23:48the alpha heir of a major pack allowed a beta to overstep and humiliate his future Luna.

00:23:52That is enough to make the Elder Council,

00:23:54the pack registry,

00:23:55and the disciplinary office all turn their eyes on him.

00:23:58When do you plan to strike?

00:24:00I have lost patience.

00:24:03Soon.

00:24:08But before that,

00:24:09I need to play along with her one last time.

00:24:14On the day I ended our mate contract,

00:24:17I showed up at the international airport.

00:24:19One secretly taken photo caused an uppour among several major East Coast PAX spouse groups.

00:24:24No one knew this was not an ordinary breakup.

00:24:26This was the first step toward ending the alliance mating contract between two ancient PAX.

00:24:32Once the receipt entered the PAX registry and the elders witnessed the rejection rite,

00:24:36five rules between me and the Cole family would be raced for good.

00:24:39Brother,

00:24:40your ex Luna looks like a movie star.

00:24:44Ending a mate bond is huge.

00:24:46How did you not breathe a word about it?

00:24:49Harrison stared at the woman on the screen as she walked away with her luggage.

00:24:52His face changed.

00:24:54He immediately called Kenzie.

00:24:58Oh, the termination papers?

00:25:00I logged into your cloud account and clicked approve for you.

00:25:03It is not like you ever treated her as your real contractor, right?

00:25:11Harrison and I were bound together by an alliance between two ancient werewolf packs.

00:25:14I carried the title of future Luna and waited for him for five years.

00:25:19But in those five years, we never truly completed the mate bond.

00:25:22He treated me colder than he would treat a complete stranger.

00:25:25When I needed 17 stitches after a car accident, he replied with only one word, noted.

00:25:31Only later did I learn that Kenzie had been replying to my messages for him all these years.

00:25:35He said Kenzie's pack-on with him is most capable data.

00:25:38That was the moment I finally understood him.

00:25:41He was not cold.

00:25:42He had simply given all his warmth to another woman

00:25:45until the pup in my womb could not be saved because of bloodline complications.

00:25:49After the healer wing gave the final diagnosis,

00:25:51I lay on the operating table and sent him one last message.

00:25:54I am at the healer wing.

00:25:56Our pup cannot be saved.

00:25:58The surgery is about to begin.

00:26:02A reply came back quickly.

00:26:04One word, noted.

00:26:06I stared at that one word for a long time.

00:26:09Long enough for the unfinished marking on my neck to grow cold.

00:26:13Strictly speaking, Harrison and I had never truly been mates.

00:26:17No Luna ceremony.

00:26:18No elder witness.

00:26:19No claiming bite.

00:26:21Not even one formal mating oath.

00:26:29In the pack registry, I was only his pending confirmation future Luna.

00:26:34The ridiculous part was that I had waited five years.

00:26:38Waited for the day he would truly accept me.

00:26:42Halfway through the surgery, I suddenly began hemorrhaging.

00:26:45The healer called my emergency contact again and again,

00:26:47but every call went to voicemail.

00:26:49That fragile mate bond slowly broke apart while I was under anesthesia.

00:26:52When I woke up, the ward was empty.

00:26:54But Harrison's profile had just been updated.

00:26:57Beside a campfire, Kenzie leaned intimately against his shoulder.

00:27:00In front of them was a cape with candles spelling 900.

00:27:03The caption read,

00:27:04Life is short.

00:27:05So grateful to have you as my perfect partner for these 900 days.

00:27:09I stared at that photo and finally laughed.

00:27:11So these five years had been a joke from beginning to end.

00:27:14I sent him one last message.

00:27:16I am tired.

00:27:18Contact the lawyer and terminate the mate contract.

00:27:20If you do not reply before midnight,

00:27:21I will take it as consent for the rejection right to enter the registry process.

00:27:24Not until 1159 did the status bar show typing.

00:27:30I blocked him directly.

00:27:35Nathaniel, what you promised me before,

00:27:38does it still stand?

00:27:39Of course it does.

00:27:40Good.

00:27:41I do not just want to leave him.

00:27:45I want them ruined.

00:27:47In three days, I'll come to your territory myself.

00:28:06and the disciplinary office all turn their eyes on him.

00:28:09When do you plan to strike?

00:28:10I will not be able to leave him.

00:28:13Soon.

00:28:19But before that,

00:28:20I need to play along with her one last time.

00:28:24After I was discharged,

00:28:26I returned to the house in Alexandria.

00:28:28Harrison sat on the sofa,

00:28:29reading a military brief.

00:28:31He barely looked up.

00:28:32Kenzie said you went to the hospital.

00:28:34What happened this time?

00:28:36Before I could speak,

00:28:38his phone rang.

00:28:39Kenzie's profile picture lit up on the screen.

00:28:41Harrison impatiently declined the call.

00:28:43What were you about to say?

00:28:44Nothing.

00:28:48What is it now?

00:28:50Because I did not go to the hospital with you?

00:28:53Today marks 900 days since Kenzie and I met.

00:28:56Is that what this is about?

00:28:59Only then did I understand.

00:29:01To him,

00:29:03terminating our mate contract

00:29:04was just me throwing a tantrum.

00:29:06I am not throwing a tantrum.

00:29:10The lawyer will send the termination papers to your email.

00:29:13The receipt will be synced to the pack registry.

00:29:16Stop threatening to leave every time something happens.

00:29:19I canceled drinks just to come home and be with you.

00:29:23Stop being so dramatic.

00:29:25So the miscarriage,

00:29:27the stitches,

00:29:28signing surgical consent papers alone,

00:29:30all of it was just drama to him.

00:29:34He left soon after.

00:29:41Hours later,

00:29:42Kenzie sent over the signed receipt

00:29:44and a voice message.

00:29:46Audrey,

00:29:47Harrison never even changed his cloud password.

00:29:49The lawyer kept pushing,

00:29:50so I signed it for him.

00:29:51Do you think he will regret it

00:29:52when he realizes he gave up

00:29:54such a beautiful wife with his own hand?

00:29:56I forwarded the receipt straight to the lawyer

00:29:58and officially started the process.

00:30:04Late that night,

00:30:05Taylor's call jolted me awake.

00:30:08Audrey,

00:30:08get downtown now.

00:30:09Something happened.

00:30:11Fighting through the pain,

00:30:12I rushed to the high-ranking werewolf members club

00:30:14at DuPont Circa.

00:30:16Kenzie,

00:30:18truth or dare,

00:30:21do you have any secrets

00:30:22you have been hiding from your commander?

00:30:24Of course I do.

00:30:28Harrison and I slept together

00:30:29a long time ago.

00:30:34The music stopped dead.

00:30:35The room went silent.

00:30:37Every eye landed on me.

00:30:38I understood at once.

00:30:39That phone call had been arranged by her on purpose.

00:30:44She wanted me to hear it with my own ears.

00:30:47She wanted me stripped of every last shred of dignity

00:30:49in front of our people.

00:30:51Worse,

00:30:51every person in that private room

00:30:53was no ordinary drinking buddy.

00:30:54They were core leaders from major packs

00:30:56and every word they heard

00:30:58could become valid internal testimony.

00:30:59She was not only trying to ruin my reputation,

00:31:02she wanted to destroy the last bit of dignity

00:31:04I had left as the unrecognized future Luna

00:31:06of the Cole family.

00:31:08Kenzie walked toward me

00:31:09and took my hand like we were close friends.

00:31:11Audrey,

00:31:12you finally came.

00:31:14You really need to control Harrison.

00:31:16He never knows when to stop.

00:31:18Every time he leaves me unable to stand

00:31:21and he still will not let me go.

00:31:22Can you teach me how to handle him?

00:31:24I raised my hand and slapped her hard across the face.

00:31:28Caught off guard,

00:31:29she fell beside the coffee table.

00:31:30Audrey,

00:31:32are you insane?

00:31:33Harrison shot to his feet,

00:31:34grabbed my wrist

00:31:35and yanked me back hard.

00:31:37I stumbled into the ice bucket stand behind me.

00:31:39My side slammed against the marble counter

00:31:41so hard my vision went black,

00:31:43but I still straightened up.

00:31:45Then I took out my phone

00:31:46and played a recording.

00:31:47Kenzie's laughter with another man

00:31:48came through clearly.

00:31:50Aren't you afraid Harrison will find out?

00:31:52Find out what?

00:31:53In bed,

00:31:53he is nowhere near you.

00:31:55Once that boring,

00:31:56almost Luna of his

00:31:57is finally kicked out,

00:31:58we can...

00:31:59Shh.

00:31:59The recording cut off.

00:32:01The color drained from Kenzie's face.

00:32:03How...

00:32:03How do you have that?

00:32:05Did you really think you covered your tracks?

00:32:08I turned to Harrison.

00:32:09His expression was no longer simple rage.

00:32:12It was as if something he believed

00:32:13had been smashed right in front of him.

00:32:15Harrison,

00:32:16this is the pure little beta

00:32:18you said was like a sister to you?

00:32:20The men she has been meeting behind your back

00:32:22are not limited to the one in that recording.

00:32:25Do you want me to submit the full list

00:32:26and evidence to the PAC Council

00:32:28for verification and filing?

00:32:30Oh, and by the way,

00:32:31she has been looking through your email,

00:32:33your private information,

00:32:34and your make contract documents.

00:32:36What she signed without authorization

00:32:37was not some meaningless scrap of paper.

00:32:40It was an official PAC document

00:32:41entered into the Council record,

00:32:43powerful enough to sever the alliance-vading contract

00:32:45between two major werewolf families

00:32:47and alter the fate of both bloodlines.

00:32:48You are lying!

00:32:50Lying?

00:32:51Then let's call the man from the recording here

00:32:52and confront him.

00:32:53He lives near DuPont Circle.

00:32:54He can be here in ten minutes.

00:32:56I picked up the half glass of martini from the table

00:32:58and he slowly walked up to Kenzie.

00:33:01This drink is for the child we lost.

00:33:03I splashed the liquor into her face.

00:33:05She screamed and shrank back his makeup,

00:33:07tears and alcohol smeared together.

00:33:08Security!

00:33:09Harrison shouted almost on instinct,

00:33:11but this time,

00:33:12he did not move.

00:33:13He did not help her up.

00:33:15He did not immediately shield her behind him like before.

00:33:18He stood there,

00:33:19his Adam's apple working hard,

00:33:20as if a silent earthquake had torn through him.

00:33:23Harrison!

00:33:24What are you standing there for?

00:33:27Take Kenzie to get her face treated.

00:33:30You are not coming with me?

00:33:33Harrison did not answer.

00:33:34I turned and left.

00:33:36Audrey!

00:33:37Wait!

00:33:38That recording,

00:33:39was it real?

00:33:40You can keep believing her.

00:33:42After all these years,

00:33:43nothing I say has ever mattered to you.

00:33:48When I walked out of the club,

00:33:49the car I had called

00:33:50was already waiting at the entrance.

00:33:53My phone buzzed.

00:33:54Nathaniel had sent a message.

00:33:56How did the reporting land?

00:33:58It hit exactly where I wanted.

00:34:01Next step.

00:34:02The banquet.

00:34:04A few days later,

00:34:06at a private estate in Maryland,

00:34:07my injuries had barely improved.

00:34:09I came here to say a final goodbye

00:34:11to Harrison's mother,

00:34:12Eleanor.

00:34:13She was sitting in the courtyard

00:34:14on a video call with Kenzie,

00:34:16smiling warmly,

00:34:17surrounded by the steady,

00:34:18dignified presence of a werewolf elder.

00:34:20She played the generous,

00:34:21kind senior perfectly.

00:34:22After she hung up,

00:34:23that smile vanished like a mask being removed,

00:34:25revealing her usual lofty scrutiny.

00:34:26Audrey, as your elder,

00:34:27I still want to give you one piece of advice.

00:34:30Kenzie and Harrison grew up together

00:34:31in the werewolf community.

00:34:33Their sense blend.

00:34:34Their instincts move together.

00:34:36That bond is something you can never compare to.

00:34:39You are too dull.

00:34:40Too lacking in charm.

00:34:42Instead of clinging to that useless pride,

00:34:44you should learn from her.

00:34:45Learn how to please an alpha at home.

00:34:48My fingertips were open.

00:34:50Harrison's mother was seriously advising me

00:34:52to learn from the woman interfering in my marriage,

00:34:54to learn how to please my husband.

00:34:55She knew I was still the future Luna of the Cole family in name,

00:34:58and she knew the Alliance mating contract

00:35:00was still recorded between the two bloodlines.

00:35:02But in her eyes,

00:35:03this Luna title,

00:35:04a symbol of werewolf dignity and pack honor,

00:35:07was never an identity to be respected and protected.

00:35:09It was merely a decorative prop that could be placed anywhere

00:35:12and replaced at any time.

00:35:14Do not bother, Eleanor.

00:35:15Harrison and I are already ending things.

00:35:17Is Eleanor?

00:35:18Kenzie came jogging in with a pastry box.

00:35:20Her beta scent was soft and obedient

00:35:22as she affectionately brushed her cheek against Eleanor's.

00:35:25Then cried out as if she had only just remembered something.

00:35:27Oh my God, I almost forgot.

00:35:29Tonight is the defense appreciation banquet

00:35:30for the Military-Industrial Alliance.

00:35:32Every high-ranking East Coast werewolf

00:35:34and military leader will be there.

00:35:35As the alpha heir of the Cole family,

00:35:36Harrison has to attend.

00:35:37He needs a date by his side,

00:35:38so I need to hurry over.

00:35:39After saying that,

00:35:40she turned to me as if she had only just noticed I was there.

00:35:43Audrey, you are here too.

00:35:45About what happened at the club,

00:35:46I drank too much and talked nonsense.

00:35:48Come with me tonight.

00:35:48I will explain all the misunderstandings

00:35:50in front of every pack reader, okay?

00:35:51Beneath her soft, docile beta scent,

00:35:53she could not hide the greedy, vicious aura

00:35:54of a predator lying awake.

00:35:55Of course I knew she was setting a trap.

00:35:57But I also remembered what Nathaniel had told me before.

00:35:59The higher she jumps, the harder she falls.

00:36:02Give her the stage.

00:36:04Sure.

00:36:09The moment I walked into the banquet hall that night,

00:36:12I understood Kenzie's real purpose.

00:36:14Nearly every female guest wore couture.

00:36:16With polished makeup,

00:36:17scents as carefully refined as their jewelry,

00:36:19every gesture held the proper elegance

00:36:21of werewolf high society.

00:36:22Even their wolf power restrained to perfection.

00:36:24And I was wearing only a faded t-shirt and jeans

00:36:26with no makeup at all.

00:36:28Kenzie, meanwhile,

00:36:29had changed into a deep V-backless Chanel evening gown,

00:36:32exposing her collarbones

00:36:33and the nape of her neck,

00:36:34as if deliberately showing off

00:36:35the alpha scent she carried.

00:36:37Oh, goddess.

00:36:38I forgot to tell you there was a dress code tonight.

00:36:40Audrey, you do not mind, do you?

00:36:41People around us had already started looking over,

00:36:43some with contempt,

00:36:44some with curiosity,

00:36:45and some with the silent patience

00:36:46of people waiting for a show.

00:36:47Kenzie,

00:36:48you did this on purpose

00:36:49to embarrass me in front of these people,

00:36:51didn't you?

00:36:51I looked at her.

00:36:52My voice was calm,

00:36:53but just loud enough for several people nearby to hear.

00:36:55Her eyes turned red almost instantly.

00:36:57Harrison walked over with champagne

00:36:58and instinctively stepped in front of her.

00:36:59His protective alpha aura spread out at once,

00:37:02unmistakably biased.

00:37:03Harrison,

00:37:04I only wanted to make up for last time.

00:37:06Harrison looked at her,

00:37:07then at me.

00:37:07After that night at the club,

00:37:09there really had been a crack

00:37:10in the way he looked at Kenzie.

00:37:11But in the end,

00:37:12he still chose to stand on her side.

00:37:13He locked his hand around my wrist,

00:37:15trying to drag me deeper into the crowd

00:37:17and end this ugly confrontation by force.

00:37:19Just then,

00:37:20a drunk, red-faced man walked up to Kenzie,

00:37:22saying filthy things.

00:37:23His hand moved too close,

00:37:24violating the boundaries of pack, etiquette.

00:37:26Harrison's face was cold.

00:37:27His alpha pressure surged,

00:37:29instantly pinning the man in place.

00:37:30He seized the man's wrist stand,

00:37:32squeezed until the man screamed.

00:37:33I am fine,

00:37:34he just drank too much

00:37:34and said a few crude things.

00:37:37Go be with Audrey.

00:37:38Do not let her misunderstand again.

00:37:40With a dark expression,

00:37:41Harrison protected her

00:37:42and led her away.

00:37:43Audrey,

00:37:44what did I ever do to offend you?

00:37:46You actually paid off a man like this

00:37:47to humiliate me in public?

00:37:49There were Elder Council agents present,

00:37:51as well as witnesses from various packs.

00:37:53By throwing out that line,

00:37:54she was not just trying to embarrass me.

00:37:56She was trying to nail the words,

00:37:57unfit, almost,

00:37:58Luna into tonight's Council record.

00:38:00Audrey,

00:38:01when did you become this vicious?

00:38:02I did not do it.

00:38:03But since you have already decided it was me,

00:38:05what is the point of explaining?

00:38:07So what do you want me to do?

00:38:09Kneel in public and beg her forgiveness?

00:38:11Do you want me to do this?

00:38:17Fine.

00:38:19I'm sorry.

00:38:20Is that what you wanted?

00:38:23Audrey?

00:38:24What kind of attitude is that?

00:38:26You need to apologize to Kenzie

00:38:28and to everyone here.

00:38:29Audrey,

00:38:30Harrison often tells me

00:38:31your emotions have always been unstable,

00:38:33that you overreact

00:38:34because of our working relationship.

00:38:36I know you only acted on impulse.

00:38:37I forgive you.

00:38:38So he had even told another woman

00:38:40about the most humiliating,

00:38:41most private feelings

00:38:42inside our marriage.

00:38:43In that moment,

00:38:44the fire in my chest

00:38:45finally burned all the way through.

00:38:47Fine.

00:38:47Since that is what you all think.

00:38:49I raised my hand

00:38:50and slapped Kenzie across the face

00:38:52with all my strength.

00:38:53She screamed and fell to the floor.

00:38:54I bent down,

00:38:55grabbed her by the collar

00:38:56and pulled hard.

00:38:57The expensive evening gown

00:38:59tore with a sharp ring.

00:39:01Help!

00:39:02Harrison, save me!

00:39:03The next second,

00:39:04I was shoved hard in the back.

00:39:06It was Harrison's hand.

00:39:07I crashed onto the marble floor.

00:39:08The back of my head

00:39:09struck the base of a Roman column

00:39:10and my vision darkened and waved.

00:39:12My wolf sank violently in that instant

00:39:13as if something icy

00:39:14had pressed her into deep water,

00:39:16even making breathing feel slow.

00:39:17My still recovering body grew cold.

00:39:19The wolf state collapse

00:39:20the healer had warned me about

00:39:21began to overwhelm me again.

00:39:23Have you caused enough trouble?

00:39:25Straight.

00:39:26Two guards in black

00:39:27immediately stepped forward

00:39:28and clamped down on both my arms.

00:39:30I struggled desperately,

00:39:31but Harrison personally grabbed my wrist

00:39:33and dragged me outside.

00:39:34But the instant he let go,

00:39:36the strap of his military watch

00:39:37caught on the collar of my T-shirt,

00:39:39tearing the entire piece of fabric

00:39:40from my shoulder.

00:39:41A large expanse of skin

00:39:43and my bra strap were exposed

00:39:44directly under the gaze

00:39:45of Washington's political indisances.

00:39:47Do not touch me!

00:39:48Get away!

00:39:49Elk clutched my chest tightly,

00:39:51but it was already too late.

00:39:52People around us raised their phones.

00:39:53Camera flashes burst one after another.

00:39:56Those judging, curious, contemptuous.

00:39:58Gloating eyes were like

00:39:59countless hands pinning me in place,

00:40:00ripping me apart inch by inch.

00:40:02The scrutiny of every werewolf in the hall

00:40:03crushed together

00:40:04into like a very new reveal.

00:40:06Harrison stood two steps away

00:40:07and looked at me.

00:40:08His expression was not shock,

00:40:09not regret,

00:40:10but deeper disgust.

00:40:11As if the more wretched I looked,

00:40:12the more it proved I was out of control,

00:40:15Madwoman claimed I was.

00:40:16As if he had completely forgotten

00:40:18that under Pac-Law,

00:40:19allowing outsider Stoke publicly

00:40:21humiliate one still bound,

00:40:22mate was the ugliest failure

00:40:24of an alpha hare.

00:40:25I finally could not stop myself

00:40:26from crying,

00:40:27just as the flashes and laughter

00:40:29were about to swallow me whole.

00:40:30The doors of the banquet hall

00:40:31were pushed open.

00:40:40Audrey,

00:40:41you finally came.

00:40:43You really need to control Harrison.

00:40:46He never knows when to stop.

00:40:48Every time,

00:40:49he leaves me unable to stand

00:40:50and he still will not let me go.

00:40:52Can you teach me how to handle him?

00:40:54I raised my hand

00:40:55and slapped her hard across the face.

00:40:58Caught off guard,

00:40:58she fell beside the coffee table.

00:41:00Audrey,

00:41:01are you insane?

00:41:03Harrison shot to his feet,

00:41:04grabbed my wrist,

00:41:05and yanked me back hard.

00:41:06I stumbled into the ice bucket stand

00:41:08behind me.

00:41:09My side slammed against

00:41:10the marble counter so hard

00:41:12my vision went black,

00:41:13but I still straightened up.

00:41:14Then I took out my phone

00:41:15and played a recording.

00:41:17Kenzie's laughter with another man

00:41:18came through clearly.

00:41:19Aren't you afraid Harrison

00:41:20will find out?

00:41:21Find out what?

00:41:22In bed,

00:41:23he is nowhere near you.

00:41:25Once that boring,

00:41:26almost Luna of his

00:41:27is finally kicked out,

00:41:29the recording cut off.

00:41:30The color drained

00:41:31from Kenzie's face.

00:41:32How,

00:41:33how do you have that?

00:41:35Did you really think

00:41:36you covered your tracks?

00:41:37I turned to Harrison.

00:41:39His expression

00:41:39was no longer simple rage.

00:41:41It was as if something

00:41:42he believed had been smashed

00:41:43right in front of him.

00:41:45Harrison,

00:41:46this is the pure little beta

00:41:47you said was like

00:41:48a sister to you?

00:41:50The men she has been

00:41:51meeting behind your back

00:41:52are not limited

00:41:52to the one in that recording.

00:41:54Do you want me to submit

00:41:55the full list and evidence

00:41:57to the PAC council

00:41:57for verification and filing?

00:41:59Oh,

00:42:00and by the way,

00:42:00she has been looking

00:42:01through your email,

00:42:02your private information,

00:42:03and your mate contract documents.

00:42:05What she signed

00:42:06without authorization

00:42:07was not some

00:42:08meaningless scrap of paper.

00:42:09It was an official

00:42:10PAC document

00:42:11entered into the council record

00:42:12powerful enough

00:42:13to sever the alliance

00:42:14meeting contract

00:42:15between two major

00:42:16werewolf families

00:42:16and alter the fate

00:42:17of both bloodlines.

00:42:18You are lying!

00:42:20Lying?

00:42:20Then let's call the man

00:42:21from the recording here

00:42:22and confront him.

00:42:23He lives near DuPont Circle.

00:42:24He can be here in ten minutes.

00:42:25I picked up the half glass

00:42:26of martini from the table

00:42:27and slowly walked up to Kenzie.

00:42:30This drink is for the child we lost.

00:42:32I splashed the liquor

00:42:33into her face.

00:42:34She screamed and shrank

00:42:35back his makeup,

00:42:36tears and alcohol

00:42:37smeared together.

00:42:38Security!

00:42:39Harrison shouted

00:42:40almost on instinct,

00:42:41but this time

00:42:42he did not move.

00:42:43He did not help her up.

00:42:44He did not immediately

00:42:45shield her behind him

00:42:46like before.

00:42:47He stood there,

00:42:49his Adam's apple

00:42:49working hard

00:42:50as if a silent earthquake

00:42:51had torn through him.

00:42:53Harrison!

00:42:54What are you standing there for?

00:42:56Take Kenzie

00:42:57to get her face treated.

00:42:59When I woke up,

00:43:01the ward was empty,

00:43:02but Harrison's profile

00:43:03had just been updated.

00:43:04Beside a campfire,

00:43:05Kenzie leaned intimately

00:43:06against his shoulder.

00:43:07In front of them

00:43:08was a cape with candles

00:43:09spelling 900.

00:43:10The caption read,

00:43:11Life is short.

00:43:12So grateful to have you

00:43:13as my perfect partner

00:43:14for these 900 days.

00:43:16I stared at that photo

00:43:17and finally laughed.

00:43:18So these five years

00:43:19have been a joke

00:43:20from beginning to end.

00:43:21I sent him one last message.

00:43:24I am tired.

00:43:25Contact the lawyer

00:43:26and terminate the mate contract.

00:43:27If you do not reply

00:43:28before midnight,

00:43:29I will take it as consent

00:43:30for the rejection right

00:43:31to enter the registry process.

00:43:32Not until 1159

00:43:34did the status bar

00:43:35show typing.

00:43:38I blocked him directly,

00:43:39then I called another number.

00:43:43Nathaniel,

00:43:43what you promised me before,

00:43:45does it still stand?

00:43:46Of course it does.

00:43:48Good.

00:43:49I do not just want to leave him.

00:43:52I want them ruined.

00:43:54In three days,

00:43:55I'll come to your territory myself.

00:43:56Kenzie signed mate documents

00:43:58on his behalf,

00:43:58stole private mate communications,

00:44:00and interfered with the termination process

00:44:02of an alliance mating contract.

00:44:03I have organized all the evidence.

00:44:05As for Harrison,

00:44:06the alpha heir of a major pack

00:44:08allowed a beta to overstep

00:44:09and humiliate his future Luna.

00:44:10That is enough to make

00:44:11the Elder Council,

00:44:12the pack registry,

00:44:13and the disciplinary office

00:44:14all turn their eyes on him.

00:44:16When do you plan to strike?

00:44:21Soon.

00:44:26But before that,

00:44:27I need to play along

00:44:28with her one last time.

00:44:33On the day I ended

00:44:34our mate contract,

00:44:34I showed up at the

00:44:35International Airport.

00:44:37One secretly taken photo

00:44:38caused an uppour

00:44:39among several major

00:44:40East Coast pack spouse groups.

00:44:42No one knew this was not

00:44:43an ordinary breakup.

00:44:44This was the first step

00:44:46toward ending the alliance

00:44:47mating contract

00:44:47between two ancient packs.

00:44:50Once the receipt

00:44:51entered the pack registry

00:44:52and the elders witnessed

00:44:53the rejection right,

00:44:55five years between me

00:44:56and the coal family

00:44:56would be raised for good.

00:44:58Brother,

00:44:58your ex Luna looks like

00:45:00a movie star.

00:45:02Ending a mate bond is huge.

00:45:05How did you not breathe

00:45:05a word about it?

00:45:07Harrison stared at the woman

00:45:08on the screen

00:45:09as she walked away

00:45:09with her luggage.

00:45:11His face changed.

00:45:12He immediately called Kenzie.

00:45:16Oh, the termination papers?

00:45:18I logged into your cloud account

00:45:19and clicked approve for you.

00:45:21It is not like you ever

00:45:22treated her as your real

00:45:23contract mate, right?

00:45:25Oh, yeah.

00:45:26Oh, yeah.

00:45:27Oh, yeah.

00:45:28Oh, yeah.

00:45:29Oh, yeah.

00:45:30Oh, yeah.

00:45:33I was worried the title

00:45:34of future Luna

00:45:34and waited for him

00:45:36for five years.

00:45:37But in those five years,

00:45:38we never truly completed

00:45:39the Mate Bont.

00:45:40He treated me colder

00:45:41than he would treat

00:45:42a complete stranger.

00:45:43When I needed 17 stitches

00:45:44after a car accident,

00:45:46he replied with only one word.

00:45:48Noted.

00:45:49Only later did I learn

00:45:50that Kenzie had been replying

00:45:51to my messages

00:45:51for him all these years.

00:45:53He said Kenzie

00:45:54was packed for him,

00:45:55his most capable data.

00:45:56That was the moment

00:45:57I finally understood.

00:45:59He was not cold.

00:46:00He had simply given all his warmth to another woman, until the pup in my womb could not be saved

00:46:05because of bloodline complications.

00:46:06After the healer wing gave the final diagnosis, I lay on the operating table and sent him one last message.

00:46:12I am at the healer wing. Our pup cannot be saved.

00:46:16The surgery is about to begin.

00:46:20A reply came back quickly. One word, noted.

00:46:24I stared at that one word for a long time.

00:46:27Long enough for the unfinished marking on my neck to grow cold.

00:46:31Strictly speaking, Harrison and I had never truly been mates.

00:46:35No Luna ceremony. No elder witness. No claiming bite. Not even one formal mating oath.

00:46:47In the pack registry, I was only his pending confirmation future Luna.

00:46:52The ridiculous part was that I had waited five years.

00:46:56Waited for the day he would truly accept me.

00:47:00Halfway through the surgery, I suddenly began hemorrhaging.

00:47:03The healer called my emergency contact again and again, but every call went to voicemail.

00:47:07That fragile mate bond slowly broke apart while I was under anesthesia.

00:47:10When I woke up, the ward was empty.

00:47:12But Harrison's profile had just been updated.

00:47:15Beside a campfire, Kenzie leaned intimately against his shoulder.

00:47:18In front of them was a cape with candles spelling 900.

00:47:20The caption read, life is short.

00:47:23So grateful to have you as my perfect partner for these 900 days.

00:47:27I stared at that photo and finally laughed.

00:47:29So these five years have been a joke from beginning to end.

00:47:32I sent him one last message.

00:47:34I am tired.

00:47:35Contact the lawyer and terminate the mate contract.

00:47:38If you do not reply before midnight, I will take it as consent for the rejection right to enter the

00:47:42registry process.

00:47:42Not until 11.59 did the status bar show typing.

00:47:48I blocked him directly.

00:47:50Then I called another number.

00:47:53Nathaniel, what you promised me before, does it still stand?

00:47:57Of course it does.

00:47:58Good.

00:47:59I do not just want to leave him.

00:48:03I want them ruined.

00:48:05In three days, I'll come to your territory myself.

00:48:07Kenzie signed mate documents on his behalf, stole private mate communications, and interfered with the termination process of an alliance

00:48:13mating contract.

00:48:14I have organized all the evidence.

00:48:16As for Harrison, the alpha heir of a major pack allowed a beta to overstep and humiliate his future Luna.

00:48:21That is enough to make the Elder Council, the pack registry, and the disciplinary office all turn their eyes on

00:48:26it.

00:48:26When do you plan to strike?

00:48:31Soon.

00:48:37But before that, I need to play along with her one last time.

00:48:42After I was discharged, I returned to the house in Alexandria.

00:48:46Harrison sat on the sofa, reading a military brief.

00:48:49He barely looked up.

00:48:50Kenzie said you went to the hospital.

00:48:52What happened this time?

00:48:54Before I could speak, his phone rang.

00:48:57Kenzie's profile picture lit up on the screen.

00:49:00Harrison impatiently declined the call.

00:49:01What were you about to say?

00:49:03Nothing.

00:49:06What is it now?

00:49:08Because I did not go to the hospital with you?

00:49:11Today marks 900 days since Kenzie and I met.

00:49:14Is that what this is about?

00:49:17Only then did I understand.

00:49:19To him, terminating our mate contract was just me throwing a tantrum.

00:49:24I am not throwing a tantrum.

00:49:28The lawyer will send the termination papers to your email.

00:49:31The receipt will be synced to the PAC registry.

00:49:34Stop threatening to leave every time something happens.

00:49:37I canceled drinks just to come home and be with you.

00:49:41Stop being so dramatic.

00:49:43So the miscarriage, the stitches, signing surgical consent papers alone, all of it was just drama to him.

00:49:51He left soon after.

00:49:59Hours later, Kenzie sent over the signed receipt and a voice message.

00:50:04Audrey, Harrison never even changed his loud password.

00:50:07The lawyer kept pushing, so I signed it for him.

00:50:09Do you think he will regret it when he realizes he gave up such a beautiful wife with his own

00:50:13hand?

00:50:14I forwarded the receipt straight to the lawyer and officially started the process.

00:50:22Late that night, Taylor's call jolted me awake.

00:50:26Audrey, get downtown now. Something happens.

00:50:29Fighting through the pain, I rushed to the high-ranking werewolf members' club at DuPont Circle.

00:50:34Kenzie, truth or dare?

00:50:39Do you have any secrets you have been hiding from your commander?

00:50:42Of course I do.

00:50:46Harrison and I slept together a long time ago.

00:50:52The music stopped dead. The room went silent.

00:50:55Every eye landed on me.

00:50:56I understood at once.

00:50:58That phone call had been arranged by her on purpose.

00:51:03She wanted me to hear it with my own ears.

00:51:05She wanted me stripped of every last shred of dignity in front of our people.

00:51:09Worse, every person in that private room was no ordinary drinking buddy.

00:51:13They were core leaders from major packs,

00:51:14and every word they heard could become valid internal testimony.

00:51:18She was not only trying to ruin my reputation,

00:51:20she wanted to destroy the last bit of dignity I had left

00:51:23as the unrecognized future Luna of the Cole family.

00:51:26Kenzie walked toward me and took my hand like we were close friends.

00:51:29Audrey, you finally came.

00:51:32You really need to control Harrison.

00:51:34He never knows when to stop.

00:51:36Every time, he leaves me unable to stand,

00:51:39and he still will not let me go.

00:51:41Can you teach me how to handle him?

00:51:43I raised my hand and slapped her hard across the face.

00:51:46Caught off guard, she fell beside the coffee table.

00:51:49Audrey, are you insane?

00:51:51Harrison shot to his feet, grabbed my wrist, and yanked me back hard.

00:51:55I stumbled into the ice bucket stand behind me.

00:51:57My side slammed against the marble counter so hard my vision went black,

00:52:01but I still straightened up.

00:52:03Then I took out my phone and played a recording.

00:52:05Kenzie's laughter with another man came through clearly.

00:52:08Aren't you afraid Harrison will find out?

00:52:10Find out what?

00:52:11In bed?

00:52:11He is nowhere near you.

00:52:13Once that boring, almost Luna of his is finally kicked out, we can...

00:52:17The recording cut off.

00:52:19The color drained from Kenzie's face.

00:52:21How...

00:52:21How do you have that?

00:52:23Did you really think you covered your tracks?

00:52:26I turned to Harrison.

00:52:27His expression was no longer simple rage.

00:52:30It was as if something he believed had been smashed right in front of him.

00:52:33Harrison,

00:52:34this is the pure little beta you said was like a sister to you?

00:52:38The men she has been meeting behind your back are not limited to the one in that recording.

00:52:43Do you want me to submit the full list and evidence to the PAC Council for verification and filing?

00:52:48Oh, and by the way, she has been looking through your email,

00:52:51your private information, and your mate contract documents.

00:52:54What she signed without authorization was not some meaningless scrap of paper.

00:52:58It was an official PAC document entered into the Council record,

00:53:01powerful enough to sever the alliance mating contract between two major werewolf families

00:53:05and alter the fate of both bloodlines.

00:53:06You are lying!

00:53:08Lying?

00:53:09Then let's call the man from the recording here and confront him.

00:53:11He lives near DuPont Circle.

00:53:12He can be here in ten minutes.

00:53:14I picked up the half glass of martini from the table and slowly walked up to Kenzie.

00:53:19This drink is for the child we lost.

00:53:21I splashed the liquor into her face.

00:53:23She screamed and shrank back his makeup, tears and alcohol smeared together.

00:53:27Security!

00:53:27Harrison shouted almost on instinct.

00:53:29But this time, he did not move.

00:53:31He did not help her up.

00:53:33He did not immediately shield her behind him like before.

00:53:36He stood there, his Adam's apple working hard, as if a silent earthquake had torn through

00:53:40him.

00:53:41Harrison!

00:53:42What are you standing there for?

00:53:45Take Kenzie to get her face treated.

00:53:48You are not coming with me?

00:53:51Harrison did not answer.

00:53:53I turned and left.

00:53:54Audrey!

00:53:55Wait!

00:53:56That recording, was it real?

00:53:58Nathaniel, you can keep believing her.

00:54:00After all these years, nothing I say has ever mattered to you.

00:54:06When I walked out of the club, the car I had called was already waiting at the entrance.

00:54:11My phone buzzed.

00:54:12Nathaniel had sent a message.

00:54:15How did the reporting land?

00:54:16It hid exactly where I wanted.

00:54:19Next step.

00:54:20The banquet.

00:54:22A few days later, at a private estate in Maryland, my injuries had barely improved.

00:54:27I came here to say a final goodbye to Harrison's mother, Eleanor.

00:54:31She was sitting in the courtyard on a video call with Kenzie, smiling warmly, surrounded

00:54:35by the steady, dignified presence of a werewolf elder.

00:54:38She played the generous, kind senior perfectly.

00:54:40After she hung up, that smile vanished like a mask being removed, revealing her usual lofty

00:54:44scrutiny.

00:54:44Audrey, as your elder, I still want to give you one piece of advice.

00:54:47Kenzie and Harrison grew up together in the werewolf community.

00:54:51Their scents blend.

00:54:52Their instincts move together.

00:54:54That bond is something you can never compare to.

00:54:57You are too dull.

00:54:59Too lacking in charm.

00:55:00Instead of clinging to that useless pride, you should learn from her.

00:55:03Learn how to please an alpha doe.

00:55:06My fingertips are cold.

00:55:08Harrison's mother was seriously advising me to learn from the woman interfering in my marriage,

00:55:12to learn how to please my husband.

00:55:13She knew I was still the future Luna of the Cole family in name.

00:55:16And she knew the alliance mating contract was still recorded between the two bloodlines.

00:55:20But in her eyes, this Luna title, a symbol of werewolf dignity and pack honor, was never

00:55:25an identity to be respected and protected.

00:55:27It was merely a decorative prop that could be placed anywhere and replaced at any time.

00:55:32Do not bother, Eleanor.

00:55:33Harrison and I are already ending things.

00:55:35Are you Eleanor?

00:55:36Kenzie came jogging in with a pastry box.

00:55:38Her beta scent was soft and obedient as she affectionately brushed her cheek against Eleanor's.

00:55:43Then cried out as if she had only just remembered something.

00:55:45Oh my god, I almost forgot.

00:55:47Tonight is the defense appreciation banquet for the military-industrial alliance.

00:55:50Every high-ranking host and most werewolf in the military leader will be there.

00:55:53As the alpha heir of the Cole family, Harrison has to attend.

00:55:55He needs a date by his side, so I need to hurry over.

00:55:57After saying that, she turned to me as if she had only just noticed I was there.

00:56:01Audrey, you are here too.

00:56:03About what happened at the club, I drank too much and talked nonsense.

00:56:06Come with me tonight.

00:56:06I will explain all the misunderstandings in front of every pack leader, okay?

00:56:09Beneath her soft, docile beta scent, she could not hide the greedy, vicious aura of a predator lying away.

00:56:13Of course I knew she was setting a trap.

00:56:15But I also remembered what Nathaniel had told me before.

00:56:17The higher she jumps, the harder she falls.

00:56:20Give me the stage.

00:56:22Sure.

00:56:27The moment I walked into the banquet hall that night, I understood Kenzie's real purpose.

00:56:32Nearly every female guest wore couture.

00:56:34With polished makeup, scents as carefully refined as their jewelry.

00:56:37Every gesture held the proper elegance of werewolf high society.

00:56:40Even their wolf power restrained to perfection.

00:56:42And I was wearing only a faded t-shirt and jeans with no makeup at all.

00:56:46Kenzie, meanwhile, had changed into a deep beat backless Chanel evening gown, exposing her collarbones and the nape of her

00:56:52neck, as if deliberately showing off the alpha scent she carried.

00:56:55Oh, goddess.

00:56:56I forgot to tell you there was a dress code tonight.

00:56:58Audrey, you do not mind, do you?

00:56:59People around us had already started looking over.

00:57:01Some with contempt, some with curiosity, and some with the silent patience of people waiting for a show.

00:57:05Kenzie, you did this on purpose to embarrass me in front of these people, didn't you?

00:57:09I looked at her.

00:57:10My voice was calm, but just loud enough for several people nearby to hear.

00:57:13Her eyes turned red almost instantly.

00:57:15Harrison walked over with champagne and instinctively stepped in front of her.

00:57:18His protective alpha aura spread out at once, unmistakably biased.

00:57:21Harrison, I only wanted to make up for last time.

00:57:24Harrison looked at her, then at me.

00:57:25After that night at the club, there really had been a crack in the way he looked at Kenzie.

00:57:29But in the end, he still chose to stand on her side.

00:57:32He locked his hand around my wrist, trying to drag me deeper into the crowd and end this ugly confrontation

00:57:36by force.

00:57:37Just then, a drunk, red-faced man walked up to Kenzie, saying filthy things.

00:57:41His hand moved too close, violating the boundaries of pack, etiquette.

00:57:44Harrison stayed with a cold.

00:57:45His alpha pressure surged, instantly pinning the man in place.

00:57:48He seized the man's wristband, squeezed until the man screamed.

00:57:51I am fine, he just drank too much and said a few crude things.

00:57:55Go be with Audrey.

00:57:56Do not let her misunderstand again.

00:57:58With a dark expression, Harrison protected her and led her away.

00:58:01Audrey, what did I ever do to offend you?

00:58:04You actually paid off a man like this to humiliate me in public?

00:58:07There were elder council agents present, as well as witnesses from various packs.

00:58:11By throwing out that line, she was not just trying to embarrass me.

00:58:14She was trying to nail the words, unfit, almost, Luna, into tonight's council record.

00:58:18Audrey, when did you become this vicious?

00:58:20I did not do it.

00:58:21But since you have already decided it was me, what is the point of explaining?

00:58:25So what do you want me to do?

00:58:27Kneel in public and beg her forgiveness?

00:58:29Miss?

00:58:35Fine.

00:58:37I'm sorry.

00:58:38Is that what you wanted?

00:58:41Audrey?

00:58:42What kind of attitude is that?

00:58:44You need to apologize to Kenzie, and to everyone here.

00:58:47Audrey, Harrison often tells me your emotions have always been unstable, that you overreact

00:58:52because of our working relationship.

00:58:54I know you only acted on impulse.

00:58:55I forgive you.

00:58:57So he had even told another woman about the most humiliating, most private feelings inside

00:59:00our marriage.

00:59:01In that moment, the fire in my chest finally burned all the way through.

00:59:05Fine.

00:59:05Since that is what you all think.

00:59:07I raised my hand and slapped Kenzie across the face with all my strength.

00:59:11She screamed and fell to the floor.

00:59:12I bent down, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled hard.

00:59:15The expensive evening gown tore with a sharp rib.

00:59:19Help!

00:59:20Harrison, save me!

00:59:21The next second, I was shoved hard in the back.

00:59:24It was Harrison's hand.

00:59:25I crashed onto the marble floor.

00:59:26The back of my head struck the base of a Roman column, and my vision darkened and waved.

00:59:30My wolf sank violently in that instant, as if something icy had pressed her into deep

00:59:33water, even making breathing feel slow.

00:59:35My still-recovering body grew cold.

00:59:37The wolf's state collapse the healer had warned me about began to overwhelm me again.

00:59:41Have you caused enough trouble?

00:59:43Straight up.

00:59:44Two guards in black immediately stepped forward and clamped down on both my arms.

00:59:48I struggled desperately, but Harrison personally grabbed my wrist and dragged me outside.

00:59:52But the instant he let go, the strap of his military watch caught on the collar of my

00:59:56t-shirt, tearing the entire piece of fabric from my shoulder.

00:59:59A large expanse of skin in my bra strap were exposed directly under the gaze of Washington's

01:00:03political and dissonance.

01:00:05Do not touch me!

01:00:06Get away!

01:00:07Elk clutched my chest, tightly, but it was already too late.

01:00:10People around us raised their phones.

01:00:11Camera flashes burst one after another.

01:00:14Those judging, curious, contemptuous, gloating eyes were like helpless hands pinning me in

01:00:18place, ripping me apart inch by inch.

01:00:20The scrutiny of every werewolf in the hall crushed together into like a barely breather.

01:00:24Harrison stood two steps away and looked at me.

01:00:26His expression was not shock, not regret, but deeper disgust.

01:00:29As if the more wretched I looked, the more it proved I was out of control, Madwoman claimed

01:00:34I was.

01:00:34As if he had completely forgotten that under pack lock, allowing outsider stoke publicly

01:00:39humiliate one still bound.

01:00:40Mate was the ugliest failure of an alpha hare.

01:00:43I finally could not stop myself from crying.

01:00:45Just as the flashes and laughter were about to swallow me whole, the doors of the banquet

01:00:49hall were pushed open.

01:00:52oh
