They messed with the wrong luna EP
Transcript
00:00Damon had his people throw me off the pack haul at our mating ceremony.
00:03Vivian's pup needs a father on paper.
00:05Once my bond with her is dissolved, I will marry you.
00:09Everyone assumed I would wait one more month.
00:11After all, I had already waited seven years.
00:13But that very same night, I accepted my family's marriage arrangement.
00:16I flew across the border and left Damon's world.
00:18For good.
00:19Three years later, I returned to the old territory with my husband for the ancestral rights.
00:23Ethan was held up by something urgent, so we fly separately.
00:26He sent people from a pack he had acquired three years ago to pick me up.
00:30In the crowd at the arrival gate, I spotted a sign.
00:32It bore my pack name, Lena.
00:34I walked toward it.
00:35The person holding the sign looked up.
00:37It was Damon.
00:37Vivian stood beside him.
00:39Along with the group of old friends from years past, they were waiting for me.
00:42They didn't know the person they were waiting for was me.
00:44Damon saw me.
00:45He startled for a second.
00:46Then that self-important smile slid back onto his face.
00:49See?
00:50I told you she'd come back.
00:52Damon, isn't that your little lapdog, Lena?
00:55Someone in the crowd recognized me.
00:57Laughter erupted.
00:57She disappeared for three years and now that Damon's made it big, she comes crawling back?
01:01Dressed like that?
01:02She can't even afford a decent outfit?
01:04Things must have gone badly out there, huh, Lena?
01:06I glanced down at the heartstone chain on my wrist.
01:09The one worth $20 million.
01:11I said nothing.
01:12Whenever I used to see Damon, I dressed to perfection.
01:14The most flawless makeup.
01:15The most tailored gown.
01:17Putting my very best self on display for him.
01:19And now, this outfit was custom-made for me by someone Ethan had commissioned.
01:23Because I was pregnant, and he refused to let me wear anything restrictive.
01:26I didn't need to dress up for anyone anymore, all for comfort.
01:29I also understood what was happening.
01:31They only knew my pack name.
01:32They had no idea the person they were here to collect was me.
01:35So they were still mocking me, still unaware of what they were doing.
01:39The silence stretched too long.
01:41One of Damon's old friends stepped in to smooth things over.
01:44Lena, it's good that you're back.
01:46Damon's actually been looking for you all these years.
01:49The smile on Damon's face stiffened for a beat.
01:51Vivian's pup is starting Academy soon.
01:53You'll be responsible for drop-offs and pick-ups from now on.
01:55Three years had passed.
01:56He was exactly the same.
01:58That sense of entitlement.
01:59That air of superiority.
02:00I was about to reveal who I was.
02:02Lena, don't blame Damon.
02:04He's arranging this for your own good.
02:06The way you've been getting by out there,
02:08you don't even qualify to be my personal secretary.
02:11Help me look after my son.
02:13No one will look down on you for that.
02:15Damon caught me frowning and assumed I was jealous.
02:17A flicker of satisfaction crossed his eyes.
02:19All right, if the outside world didn't work out,
02:21stop pretending it did.
02:24Take care of the child.
02:26Know your place.
02:27Don't worry.
02:28There's no shortage of Omega servant quarters in the house.
02:31He genuinely believed.
02:33I had come back because I couldn't let him go.
02:35Look how well Damon's taking care of you.
02:37Room and board all sorted.
02:39Go on, thank Damon.
02:41Lena, don't worry.
02:43If my son acts up, I'll discipline him myself.
02:46I won't let you be mistreated.
02:47Damon let out a cold laugh.
02:48What does she have to be mistreated about?
02:51She vanished over something trivial,
02:53and now she's back because she couldn't make it out there.
02:56A little hardship is exactly what she deserves.
03:00My heart skipped.
03:00Even now, he's still called that.
03:02Trivial.
03:02The heavy rain outside Pac Hall is back as he walked in with Vivian.
03:06Seven years.
03:07To him, it was just a trivial thing.
03:09The boy who had once carried me across half the territory while bleeding out himself,
03:13just to keep his promise.
03:14He was long dead.
03:16Dead the day he chose Vivian for the first time.
03:18It was all in the past.
03:19I didn't need any of that anymore.
03:20I was about to have my second child.
03:23I pressed down every feeling and looked at Damon with perfect calm.
03:27Aren't you here to pick me up?
03:28Let's go.
03:29A beat of silence fell over the crowd.
03:31Then, laughter exploded.
03:34Wait for you?
03:35Who do you think you are?
03:37We're waiting for Lena.
03:39Do you even know who that is?
03:41Of course I did.
03:42That's my name.
03:43Ethan swore never to bond.
03:45They say he was waiting for her his whole life.
03:47Everyone in the circles knows,
03:49if you want to get close to Ethan, go through his Luna.
03:52There's nothing he wouldn't give up for that woman.
03:54Listening to them describe my own life,
03:55I couldn't keep the corners of my mouth from lifting.
03:57Three years into our bond,
03:59Ethan's power had only grown,
04:00and his reputation for doting on his Luna had grown with it.
04:03Vivian had always had a talent
04:04for flaunting other people's lives in my face.
04:07At the Blood Summit auction,
04:08Ethan won a Hearthstone chain for his Luna.
04:11Value?
04:12Twenty million dollars.
04:14Every female on the continent envies that woman.
04:20It's this one.
04:22Everyone was staring at the chain on my wrist.
04:24Damon grabbed my hand and leaned in for a close look.
04:27Replica.
04:28Which delivery boy Omega bought you this?
04:31Wearing garbage like that in public, shameless.
04:34I pulled my hand free.
04:35I traced my fingers over every stone on the chain.
04:38The day Ethan clasped it onto my wrist,
04:40he murmured in my ear,
04:41Don't ever take it off.
04:42I smiled.
04:43Damon saw my smile.
04:44His pupils contracted sharply.
04:45He lunged forward and ripped the chain from my wrist.
04:48I hadn't been ready for it.
04:49He got away with it.
04:50The thing Ethan gave me had just fallen into Vivian's hands.
04:53Nice weight.
04:54Definitely more refined than the fake I bought.
04:56But I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something like this in public.
05:00Or could it be...
05:01Lena, are you Lena?
05:03You're the legendary Blood Summit Luna?
05:06The laughter that broke out was deafening,
05:08because it was absurd.
05:09Ethan was the strongest alpha on the continent.
05:11And I, three years ago,
05:13was the broken Omega Damon had driven out of Pack Hall.
05:16No one could possibly connect the two.
05:18Vivian tossed the chain in her palm, weighing it.
05:21Lena, I'll buy this off you.
05:23Double the price.
05:24Give it back.
05:25That was a gift from Ethan.
05:31Shut up.
05:32Damon towered over me,
05:33eyes burning with irritation.
05:34You think you can drop Ethan's name just like that?
05:38Spreading rumors about a connection with him in a place like this?
05:41Are you trying to get me killed?
05:43Lena, do you have any idea
05:45getting to receive Ethan's Luna
05:47was a chance a thousand people fought over?
05:50Damon's pack was acquired by Ethan three years ago.
05:53We all survive on his goodwill now.
05:55If you spread lies here,
05:57you'll bring ruin down on every single one of us.
05:59I slowly raised my hand
06:01and wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth.
06:03Slowly turned my head
06:04and looked Damon directly in the eyes.
06:07Damon's brow furrowed.
06:08Something in his gaze flickered with unease.
06:11He thought I was the Lena he remembered.
06:13He thought I would cry, beg, explain.
06:16He didn't know.
06:17The way I looked at him now
06:18was the same way I'd look at a dead man.
06:21Vivian caught the way Damon was looking at me.
06:22She immediately pointed a finger in my face.
06:25Lena, you ungrateful wolf.
06:27Damon already agreed to take you in
06:29and this is how you act?
06:31Even if you resent him,
06:33you don't get to use this kind of revenge.
06:35I had a strange sense of deja vu.
06:38Three years ago, it was exactly like this.
06:39No matter what happened,
06:41Vivian would twist the truth and feed it to Damon.
06:44In the beginning,
06:45Damon would still yell at Vivian for it.
06:47Later, he started echoing her words to come after me.
06:49Just like now, Damon bit out.
06:51Jealous.
06:52But he didn't keep going.
06:53He went quiet for a moment.
06:55Then reached into his jacket.
06:56Placed a check in front of me.
06:58Two hundred thousand.
06:59The posture of charity.
07:01The expression of charity.
07:03He genuinely believed
07:04this was the greatest dignity he could offer me.
07:06Out of respect for what we once had,
07:08I won't do anything to you.
07:10Take the money.
07:11Go buy yourself something decent to wear.
07:13If you don't want to look after the child,
07:15I'll find you a respectable position in a few days.
07:18Since Ethan acquired my pack,
07:20this amount means nothing to me.
07:21I looked at that check.
07:22Looked at his face.
07:23Giving charity.
07:24Under the stunned stares of everyone around us,
07:26I pushed it back.
07:28Retrieved the chain from Vivian's hand.
07:30No thank you.
07:31I don't take things from strangers.
07:33I'm a stranger?
07:35Lena, what the hell does that mean?
07:37Since the relationship is over,
07:39it's better we don't associate.
07:40I wouldn't want my husband
07:42to get the wrong idea.
07:44Damon's expression shifted.
07:47He glanced at Vivian,
07:48and that knowing look crossed his face.
07:50He thought I was trying to make him jealous.
07:52In three days,
07:53Ironcrest Pack is hosting a blood moon gala
07:55in Ethan's honor.
07:56I'll take you.
07:58Give you a glimpse of how the other half lives.
08:03Though you'll need to find yourself
08:05something decent to wear first,
08:06or else...
08:07No thank you.
08:08Damon's face darkened.
08:10Lena,
08:11I hope in three days
08:12you'll still feel this confident.
08:15I walked out of the arrival gate
08:16without looking back.
08:17Fresh air flooded my lungs.
08:19The nausea in my stomach
08:20finally began to ease.
08:21Three years ago,
08:22my family had pressured me
08:23to cross the border
08:24for an arranged marriage.
08:26I held out against it
08:27and ran to Damon,
08:28begging him to complete our bond first.
08:31Make it a done deal
08:31before anyone could interfere.
08:33As you wish.
08:34He agreed.
08:34Then at the doors of Pack Hall,
08:36I didn't just find him.
08:37I found Vivian waiting beside him.
08:40Vivian's pup needs to be registered.
08:42I have to complete the bond
08:43with her first.
08:44One month.
08:45Then I'll come for you immediately.
08:47It's only for the child's sake.
08:49Don't read into it.
08:50I watched him walk into Pack Hall
08:52with Vivian on his arm.
08:53That night,
08:54I set out.
08:55One month later,
08:56I married Ethan.
08:57The year after that,
08:59Leo was born.
09:00Just a few days ago,
09:01I confirmed I was carrying a second.
09:03If not for accompanying Ethan back
09:04for the ancestral rights,
09:06I would never have set foot
09:07on this land again
09:08for the rest of my life.
09:09Let alone run into him
09:11at the arrival gate.
09:12Three days later,
09:13I put on a light layer of makeup.
09:15The same custom soft fabric dress.
09:17I went to the Blood Moon Gala alone.
09:20The moment I walked in,
09:21Damon spotted me.
09:24A light flickered in his eyes.
09:26That familiar,
09:27self-satisfied curve
09:28pulled at the corner of his mouth.
09:30Said you wouldn't come,
09:31but here you are.
09:33Body doesn't lie.
09:38Though if you want me to look twice,
09:39you could at least dress the part.
09:42For an occasion like this,
09:43what you're wearing...
09:45I stepped around him
09:46and kept walking.
09:46He grabbed my arm.
09:48I'm talking to you.
09:53Our seats are over here.
09:54Where are you going?
09:55I looked calmly
09:56toward the far end of the hall.
09:57That's your seat.
09:59Mine is over there.
10:01Following my gaze,
10:02Damon saw the head table,
10:03the Alpha's seat,
10:05the Luna's seat.
10:06His expression changed.
10:08Vivian's eyes turned vicious instantly.
10:10She fixed her glare on the chain at my wrist
10:12and raised her voice.
10:13Lena,
10:14how did you get in here?
10:16Are you here to cause trouble?
10:18Walking in with that chain,
10:19are you trying to humiliate the Luna?
10:22Tonight is Ethan's first time
10:24bringing his Luna out in public.
10:26Rogue woman,
10:27get out.
10:28Every guest in the room turned to look.
10:30Someone glanced at Damon.
10:32Damon Alpha,
10:33do you know this person?
10:34Damon straightened his cuffs,
10:35perfectly composed.
10:37No.
10:37One word.
10:38Clean.
10:39Final.
10:40Vivian lifted her chin immediately.
10:42Take off that chain
10:44and get out!
10:45She reached for it.
10:46I stepped aside.
10:47But someone deliberately
10:48tripped me from behind.
10:49I fell.
10:51Vivian planted her foot
10:52on my wrist.
10:53The chain.
10:55She tore it free
10:56with brute force.
10:57The gems scattered
10:58across the floor
10:59like a shattered constellation.
11:02Drag her out.
11:03Pain screamed through my wrist,
11:05bone deep.
11:05Stop!
11:06I'm Ethan!
11:08His what?
11:09His mistress?
11:11Who do you think you are?
11:14She backhanded me again.
11:16I lay against the middle of the floor.
11:18When I came back here,
11:19I hadn't planned to settle scores
11:20with anyone.
11:20There was no point.
11:21But now,
11:22she had struck me twice.
11:23She had destroyed something
11:24Ethan gave me.
11:25She would pay for both of those things.
11:28Everything she was capable of losing,
11:30she would lose it all.
11:32Damon crouched in front of me.
11:33He reached out as if to touch
11:35the wound on my wrist.
11:36I flinched away on instinct.
11:38He looked at me coldly.
11:39Are you done making a scene?
11:42You came in that outfit,
11:43wearing that chain.
11:45You missed me,
11:46didn't you?
11:47You wanted to make me jealous.
11:48Just say the word
11:49and I'll give you what you want.
11:51Damon.
11:51I raised my eyes to meet his.
11:53You're finished.
11:54Damon frowned,
11:55about to speak.
11:56The atmosphere in the gala shifted.
11:58Every guest began composing themselves,
12:00pressing toward the entrance.
12:01Damon leaned down
12:02and murmured to me,
12:03Ethan's here.
12:05Behave yourself.
12:06Vivian and I have already
12:07dissolved our bond.
12:08I pressed my nearly crushed wrist.
12:11Looking at his face,
12:11I felt nothing but revulsion.
12:13Whether you two dissolve
12:14your bond or not,
12:15what does that have to do with me?
12:17Then,
12:18the doors opened.
12:20Ethan walked in,
12:21carrying Leo.
12:24The moment Leo entered the hall,
12:25he squirmed to get down
12:26from Ethan's arms.
12:28The moment the cherub-faced
12:29little pup touched the ground.
12:31Every eye in the room
12:32was pulled to him.
12:33Damon turned to me abruptly.
12:35Lena,
12:36as long as you stop
12:37provoking Vivian,
12:38I can forgive you
12:39for disappearing three years.
12:40I'll give you a chance.
12:42Bear me a child.
12:43A child that belongs to us.
12:45I paid him no attention.
12:46I was looking through the crowd,
12:48trying to catch Leo's eye.
12:50Leo's gaze swept the room,
12:51then,
12:52locked,
12:52he broke free from Ethan's hand
12:53and charged toward me.
12:55Crashed into my arms.
12:57Mama,
12:58what happened to you?
12:59Who did this?
13:01Why is there so much blood
13:02on your hand?
13:04That one word,
13:05Mama.
13:05And the entire gala went still.
13:09The guests who had stood by
13:10cold-eyed while I was struck,
13:12their faces all changed at once.
13:14Leo held onto me,
13:16eyes going red.
13:17I crouched to meet him
13:19at eye level,
13:20cupped his round little cheeks
13:21in my hands.
13:23Mama is fine.
13:25Whoever dares to treat
13:26Mama like this?
13:28I was about to reassure him
13:30when I felt the pressure
13:31from behind.
13:32Not an ordinary approach.
13:33It was Ethan's,
13:34the kind that felt
13:35like a mountain moving,
13:36the kind that made
13:37the air itself go still.
13:39The crowd parted automatically.
13:40I didn't need to turn around
13:41to know he was furious.
13:43Since I'd gotten pregnant
13:44with our second,
13:45he'd have kept me physically
13:46tucked against him
13:47if he could.
13:47If it hadn't been
13:48for the urgent matter,
13:49he never would have sent
13:50someone else to pick me up.
13:52I lifted Leo into my arms,
13:54turned around.
13:55Ethan was standing there,
13:56his gaze dropped
13:57to the bloodstain on my wrist,
13:58then to the marks
14:00on my face.
14:01His eyes went dark.
14:04Leo slipped out of my arms
14:06and ran to Ethan.
14:07Daddy, someone hurt Mama!
14:09Let's go get revenge!
14:13Lena, tell me what happened.
14:16One moment I'm away
14:17and you're already hurt.
14:18Which blind fool did this?
14:20I'm fine, Ethan.
14:21Lena, I'm your mate.
14:25If something wronged you,
14:26you don't have to carry it alone.
14:27We can't let anyone hurt Mama!
14:30Maybe it was the pregnancy.
14:31Maybe I'd held it together
14:32for too long.
14:33My voice came out
14:34with a tremor
14:35I hadn't planned for.
14:36You weren't there
14:37and they all went after me.
14:40At that moment,
14:41Leo's eyes caught
14:42something on the floor.
14:43He bent down
14:43and picked up a single gem.
14:45Daddy, isn't this part
14:46of the gift you gave Mama?
14:49Ethan took the stone
14:50and turned it over.
14:51On the back,
14:52two letters were engraved.
14:54E. L.
14:56Turn on every light.
15:02Every light in the gala blazed on.
15:04Ethan tilted my face toward him.
15:08They actually dared
15:09to do this to you.
15:11We can't let them
15:12get away with this.
15:12I didn't know
15:13if it was the pregnancy,
15:14but my emotions
15:15kept slipping past my defenses.
15:17You weren't there
15:19and they all went after me.
15:22The people who had followed
15:24to the arrival gate
15:25to mock me,
15:26their legs were shaking now.
15:28They were finally
15:29putting it together.
15:31The woman in the custom
15:32soft fabric dress
15:33three days ago.
15:34The woman with the
15:35heartstone chain on her wrist.
15:37The woman who kept insisting
15:39she was Ethan's Luna.
15:41She hadn't been making it up.
15:43Every word she said
15:44had been true.
15:48Just then,
15:49Vivian's follower Jade
15:50stepped forward.
15:51Lena,
15:52are these two actors
15:54you hired?
15:55Not bad performances,
15:56honestly.
15:58Want Vivian to help you
15:59find an agent?
16:00Though,
16:01since you can't even afford
16:02a decent outfit these days.
16:03I have one I've worn before
16:05I could give it to you.
16:06Save you the embarrassment.
16:08Jade had arrived last.
16:09She hadn't seen Leo
16:10throw himself into my arms.
16:12She had dressed to kill tonight,
16:14hoping to catch the eye
16:15of a powerful mate.
16:16The fastest route
16:18to a powerful mate
16:19in these circles
16:20was to win Vivian's favor.
16:22And the most effective way
16:24to win Vivian's favor
16:25was to make my life miserable.
16:27So she opened her mouth.
16:30No one in the room laughed.
16:32Everyone was staring at her
16:33like she'd lost her mind.
16:35Jade began to panic.
16:37She turned to Ethan
16:38and tilted her face upward,
16:39trying to be coy.
16:41The man next to her,
16:41he's not bad looking.
16:43If you're willing to leave Lena,
16:45I might consider
16:46keeping you.
16:47Keeping.
16:48Ethan.
16:49I nearly laughed out loud.
16:54Ethan started laughing.
16:56That kind of laugh.
16:57The rare one,
16:59where it curls up
17:00at the corners
17:00and he can't quite stop it.
17:02He had always been particular
17:03about my safety.
17:05Over the years,
17:06anyone who tried
17:06to get close to him
17:07either vanished
17:08or ended up
17:09on the far end
17:09of the continent.
17:11He wasn't angry.
17:12He simply found her amusing.
17:14In the way one finds someone
17:16who has used up
17:17their borrowed time,
17:18Jade sensed the shift
17:19in the room
17:20and tried to press herself
17:21closer to Vivian.
17:23Vivian immediately gave her
17:24a slap that sent her
17:26to the floor.
17:27Jade,
17:27are you trying to die?
17:29You dare offend Ethan
17:30and his Luna?
17:31Do you have a death wish?
17:33Jade clutched her face,
17:34slumped on the marble murmuring.
17:36Lena is Lena.
17:38She's really the Luna.
17:39I offended.
17:41I...
17:41Ethan was notorious
17:42across the continent
17:43for being fiercely
17:44protective of his mate.
17:46Jade's mind went
17:47to what might be
17:47waiting for her.
17:49Her whole body
17:50began to tremble.
17:51Someone in the crowd
17:52gasped.
17:53All eyes moved
17:54to the hem
17:55of Jade's dress.
17:56She had wet herself
17:57from fear.
17:58Ethan gave a slight frown.
18:00His guards understood
18:01without a word
18:02and dragged her out.
18:04Damon and Vivian's faces
18:06flushed a deep,
18:07mortified red.
18:08Everyone in the room knew
18:10that Jade's words
18:11had always followed
18:12wherever their hearts pointed.
18:16The healer Ethan had summoned
18:17was treating my wounds.
18:19The antiseptic touched skin.
18:21I hissed through my teeth.
18:23Just that one sound.
18:26And Ethan and Leo
18:27both looked up
18:27with murder in their eyes.
18:29You can't even apply medicine
18:30without hurting her?
18:32The healer's hands
18:33began to shake
18:34even harder.
18:34I pretended to glare at them.
18:37Lena?
18:38Mama?
18:39Father and son
18:40both shrank back,
18:41looking aggrieved.
18:42I sighed.
18:44The healer is helping me.
18:46Stop terrifying her.
18:47The healer visibly exhaled.
18:49After her examination,
18:51she addressed Ethan.
18:52Alpha Ethan,
18:53the luma is unharmed
18:54and the pup in the womb
18:56is safe as well.
18:57The wound on her wrist
18:59is fairly deep.
19:00I'll use the finest
19:02medicine available
19:02and do my best
19:03to ensure it heals
19:04without scarring.
19:05Ethan went quiet,
19:07said nothing.
19:09Only I knew
19:09this was what it looked like
19:11when he was truly,
19:13deeply furious.
19:15Damon,
19:16the one most responsible
19:17for all of it,
19:18was finally beginning
19:20to feel afraid.
19:21He never could have imagined
19:22that the Omega
19:24he had thrown away
19:25had become the mate
19:26of the man above him
19:27in every hierarchy
19:28that mattered.
19:31Ethan stood beside me
19:33and swept a slow gaze
19:34across the room.
19:35I'd like you all
19:36to volunteer
19:36what happened
19:37in the past few days.
19:40If I have to find out
19:42on my own,
19:43he paused,
19:44everyone present
19:45may not die pleasantly.
19:46Damon's complexion shifted.
19:48He was the first to speak.
19:51Ethan Alpha,
19:52this is all
19:53a misunderstanding.
19:54As Lena's
19:55former intended mate,
19:56I was simply
19:57catching up with her.
19:58The glass in Ethan's hand
19:59let out a faint,
20:00precise crack.
20:01Damon didn't notice
20:02and kept going.
20:03Ethan Alpha must know
20:05how much Lena
20:05used to love me.
20:07Catching up
20:08is only natural,
20:09isn't it?
20:10The glass shattered.
20:11Ethan's hand
20:12was covered in blood.
20:13I ached
20:14just looking at it.
20:15Damon,
20:15stop flattering yourself.
20:16I tended to Ethan's hand
20:17while I spoke.
20:18In this life,
20:19I have only ever loved Ethan.
20:21Say anything else
20:22to drive a wedge between us
20:23and don't expect me
20:24to stay civil.
20:25Ethan looked down.
20:26watching me
20:27bandage his hand.
20:28And then he smiled.
20:31Lena,
20:31you just said
20:32I'm your favorite.
20:34I
20:35was speechless.
20:38Damon's expression
20:39turned wounded.
20:40Lena,
20:42Vivian and I
20:42have dissolved our bond.
20:44He opened his mouth again.
20:46That pup
20:46could call you mama
20:47going forward too.
20:49You only married Ethan
20:50to spite me,
20:51didn't you?
20:51I understand.
20:52I don't mind.
20:53As long as you're willing
20:54to come back,
20:55everything I can give you,
20:56none of it is less
20:57than what he offers.
20:58As long as you're willing
20:59to come back
21:00and be my son's nanny.
21:01Leo sitting nearby
21:02slowly set down his fork.
21:03He studied Damon
21:04for a moment.
21:05Nanny?
21:06My mama
21:07is a little princess
21:09at home.
21:10You think you're worthy
21:11of making her a nanny?
21:13Mama will only ever have
21:14me and my little sister.
21:15Two children.
21:16Your pup
21:16of unclear wargences
21:18has no business
21:19being connected
21:19to my mama.
21:20You're not as handsome
21:21as my daddy.
21:22Not as tall either.
21:24And you smell
21:24the kind of broke
21:25that gets into your eyes.
21:27The guests around them
21:28burst out laughing.
21:30Damon's face went purple.
21:31At this moment,
21:33Vivian had completely lost
21:34what remained
21:34of her composure.
21:36She heard Damon say,
21:37let Lena be the child's mother.
21:39She picked up a fork
21:40and lunged at Leo.
21:44You little bastard!
21:45I'll kill you!
21:46The moment Vivian
21:47charged at Leo,
21:48I released Ethan's hand
21:49and threw myself over Leo.
21:51Son, are you...
21:53Okay.
21:54The word never came out.
21:56Before I lost consciousness,
21:57I saw Leo's face.
21:59Panicked.
22:00Pale.
22:01I wanted to tell him,
22:02don't cry.
22:03The words didn't come.
22:05Everything went dark.
22:08The sharp smell of antiseptic
22:10pulled me back.
22:11White ceiling above me.
22:13A patient's gown.
22:15Mia was sitting
22:16at the bedside.
22:17The moment she saw
22:18my eyes open,
22:19she threw herself at me.
22:21Lena!
22:22You're finally awake!
22:24If you'd slept any longer,
22:25those two little demons of yours
22:26would have torn
22:26the whole territory apart!
22:29My first instinct.
22:31I pressed a hand
22:32to my stomach.
22:33Mia understood immediately.
22:35Relax.
22:36You and the baby
22:36are both perfectly fine.
22:38The doctor said
22:39it was the shock
22:39combined with the pain
22:41from your wound
22:41that made you pass out.
22:42Yeah.
22:43That Vivian is absolutely
22:45unhinged!
22:46Going at Leo with a fork!
22:48Where are Leo and Ethan?
22:49Safe.
22:50Both of them.
22:52You were still too reckless.
22:53With that many guards around,
22:55it wasn't your turn
22:56to step in.
22:57That's Leo.
22:58I know, I know,
23:00I know, I know,
23:00your precious little pup.
23:01That little creature
23:02is vicious enough
23:03on his own.
23:04He didn't need protection.
23:06Where are they now,
23:07the two of them?
23:08Mia's eyes lit up.
23:10Gone to avenge you.
23:13I got there after you'd
23:15already passed out,
23:16but I pieced together
23:17what happened
23:17from the people around.
23:18After you went down,
23:20Leo picked up the fork
23:21from the floor
23:22and drove it
23:23straight through
23:24Vivian's palm.
23:25He's three years old.
23:27I have no idea
23:28where he found the strength.
23:29Ethan had also learned
23:30by then
23:30what happened
23:31at the arrival gate
23:32three days ago.
23:33That Damon slapped you.
23:35That he tore off
23:35the heartstone chain.
23:37The way they all
23:38humiliated you.
23:39He knew every detail.
23:41Then he had his guards
23:42hold Damon down
23:44and had the hand
23:45that struck you cut off.
23:47Leo watched the whole thing
23:48without blinking once.
23:51Such a little tyrant.
23:53Vivian,
23:54Ethan had someone
23:54bring in a crate
23:55of gemstones
23:55and told her
23:56to swallow them all.
23:57He said exactly this.
23:58Since you love
23:58taking things
23:59that belong to others
24:00so much,
24:00I'll give you your fill.
24:01The gems are yours.
24:02So is the man.
24:04She swallowed.
24:05She refused.
24:06So they brought in her son.
24:09She swallowed a lot.
24:10When she was half dead
24:11from it,
24:12Ethan had someone
24:13carve up her face,
24:15severed the tangents
24:16in her son's hands
24:17and had her thrown
24:18into international waters.
24:20The guests who stood there
24:21and watched you get beaten,
24:22every single one of them
24:23left with a scar
24:23on their wrist.
24:24So they'll remember
24:25the cost of looking away
24:26while the Luna
24:26was being humiliated.
24:28Oh, and one more thing.
24:29Ironcrest pack
24:29officially dissolved.
24:30Everything Damon had.
24:31Starting today,
24:32gone.
