00:00At 18, I had to choose one of Alpha Theron Munfang's sons as my mate.
00:04Last life, I chose Kane.
00:06Big mistake.
00:07He tore me apart.
00:09This time, I picked Casey the cold-blooded, brutal one.
00:13What I didn't expect.
00:15Kane came back too.
00:17I'd barely stepped out of the council hall, crossing the training grounds, when I spotted him Kane, mid-spar, surrounded
00:23by wolves.
00:24A glint of silver, his curved blade slipped and hit the ground with a sharp clang, landing three feet from
00:29my boots.
00:30He didn't even glance up.
00:31Pick it up.
00:32The wolves froze.
00:34Eyes locked on me, waiting for a show.
00:36I knew this game.
00:37Last life, he treated me like his damn servant.
00:40I didn't move.
00:42Just dug my heel into the gravel and said flatly.
00:44You dropped it.
00:46You pick it up.
00:47The training ground went dead quiet.
00:49Even the wind cut out.
00:51Kane's head jerked up.
00:52Eyes lit with rage.
00:54What did you just say?
00:55Someone let out a low whistle.
00:58Damn, Eve.
00:59Switching tactics?
01:01Weren't you all over him like two days ago?
01:03Now you're acting royal?
01:05Another chimed in, louder.
01:07Girl, you were his sim.
01:09Clinging to him all the time.
01:11You think your dead daddy's proud of this act?
01:13Before I could fire back, soft footsteps cut through the tension.
01:16Lena limped in, leather skirt brushing her knees, blood-staining one pant leg.
01:20She crouched, lip caught between her teeth, hands shaking as she grabbed the blade.
01:25Cold sweat clung to her skin.
01:27Kane's eyes snapped to her.
01:28He grabbed her wrist, panic leaking through his voice.
01:32I told you to rest.
01:33Who said you could be out here?
01:34He turned on me, eyes blazing.
01:37Look at Lena.
01:38She's hurt and still helps me.
01:40And you?
01:40Just standing there like a spoiled brat?
01:43No sense of duty.
01:44Then the scoff hit.
01:45You just crawled out of my father's office, didn't you?
01:50What now?
01:51Pulling the pity card again?
01:53Playing up that story about your dad taking a blade for him?
01:56Begging to be my mate?
01:58You're pathetic, Eve.
01:59Always guilt tripping.
02:01Always scheming.
02:03You've tried every trick to lock me down.
02:05I clenched my sleeves, voice flat.
02:07Didn't say a word.
02:08The alpha called me.
02:10He's hosting my coming-of-age ceremony himself.
02:13The air snapped like a whip.
02:14The alpha's hosting her ceremony?
02:16Wolf swarmed Kane, voices full of flattery.
02:21Congrats, man.
02:22If the alpha's hosting her ceremony, he's lining you up to take over.
02:26Don't forget us when you're alpha.
02:27Kane lifted his chin, smug creeping in under the scowl.
02:31Then his eyes cut back to me.
02:33Still, let's be clear.
02:35If we do end up bonded, stay out of my business with Lena.
02:39Know your place.
02:41Or...
02:42He paused.
02:43Eyes going dark.
02:45I won't be your mate.
02:46Unless you want a repeat of last time.
02:49My chest seized.
02:50What the hell did that mean?
02:52Did he remember too?
02:53On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, Kane showed up late with Lena stuck to his side.
02:58Her lips were swollen, and fresh red marks scratched across his collarbone.
03:02Wolves nearby traded smirks.
03:04No question what they'd been doing in the shadows.
03:07In my past life, I would have stormed over, ripped off their masks, demanded why they humiliate me at my
03:12own ceremony.
03:13Now?
03:13I glanced once, then looked away like they were dust on my boots.
03:17Kane caught that flicker.
03:18His hand shot out.
03:20Shifting Lena behind him.
03:21When I didn't flinch, he got twitchy.
03:24Then laughed.
03:24Low and mean.
03:25What, Eve?
03:26Playing saint now because you're scared I won't be your mate?
03:29Don't be dumb.
03:30How about this?
03:32He leaned in, voice dropping, eyes crawling over me.
03:35After the ceremony, meet me behind the mountain, at the hot spring.
03:39Don't wear anything.
03:40If your body's worth it, maybe I'll let you in my bed.
03:42Lena pouted, tugging his sleeve.
03:45Kane, how can you say that?
03:47Isn't my body better than hers?
03:49Of course you're better, a thousand times.
03:52That hot spring?
03:53It's yours, I even had herbs thrown in.
03:56Just waited on your leg to heal.
03:58Lena lit up.
03:59Tossed me a smug little look.
04:01The wolves around us cracked up whistles, filthy jokes flying like knives.
04:05The sound hit like a switch.
04:07My past life slammed back.
04:09He'd done this before humiliated me in front of the pack.
04:12Treated me like some chew toy.
04:14I'd shaken with rage.
04:16He just laughed, said my shame turned him on.
04:19Someone tried to defend me once.
04:21Kane shut them down, called me a heat chaser who begged for his scraps.
04:26Pathetic.
04:26I turned to walk away then his hand clamped around my wrist.
04:30Still pretending?
04:32A wolf like you can't fake what you are.
04:35I yanked my hand free, knuckles white.
04:38Watch your mouth.
04:40Respect?
04:41Didn't you throw your whole life away begging to bond with me?
04:43If you're crawling into my bed anyway, why fake innocence now?
04:48Who said I'm bonding with you?
04:50Silence hit like a blade to the throat.
04:53Then laughter.
04:54Loud.
04:55Ugly.
04:55Everywhere.
04:56Not bonding with me?
04:57Then who?
04:58Everyone knows you'd die for me.
05:00What, Kaylee?
05:02Kaylee's been rotting in the black forest for years.
05:06Everyone says he's feral.
05:08Skinned a grave claw wolf who challenged him and left the carcass hanging.
05:11Trying to get yourself killed early?
05:12Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
05:15What, nothing to say?
05:16Didn't you have all that fire a second ago?
05:19Or are you finally scared?
05:21Lena slipped in, voiced syrupy sweet.
05:23Eve probably remembered the stories about Kay.
05:26If she really bonds with him, there might not even be bones left to bury.
05:31Laughter rippled through the crowd.
05:33A few young wolves whistled, right on cue.
05:35In my past life, I probably would have lunged at Lena and yanked her hair out.
05:39But this time, different.
05:41who i choose isn't your business cool and steady even i was surprised lena's smile twitched then
05:47she grabbed her chest and started coughing shoulders shaking uncontrollably eve don't
05:52be like that i was just worried about you you did take a hunter's silver dagger for kane remember
06:00i turned to go her gasp hit first then her wine cup slipped just as it fell she leaned hard
06:05into
06:06me next thing i knew she stumbled back like i'd shoved her and dropped to the floor with a dramatic
06:10thought lena's wail split the air tears streaking down her face even if you hate me you can't push
06:17me my leg it hurts so bad really eve that jealous now kane's face darkened he stepped in front of
06:25her like a shield fury rolling off him he scooped her up like she was moon-touched pain in his
06:30eyes
06:30she's your sister lena was just my cousin but once she moved in everyone assumed otherwise
06:38behind his shoulder lena peeked out smirking i couldn't help it i laughed
06:46didn't even touch her
06:50still lying kane grabbed my wrist the whole pack knows you're jealous of lena
06:54if you hadn't clung to me back then i wouldn't have even noticed you
06:57kane don't eve's probably just upset she always thought you'd pick her
07:02soft words sharper than claws whispers started up same ones from before that i was forcing the
07:09mate bond hiding behind my father's name that i couldn't handle my own sister these rumors stuck
07:15like spit from jealous shuvulves filthy and hard to scrub off shuvulves filthy and hard to scrub off
07:19kane's rage snapped he raised his hand and slapped me across the face hard you better behave
07:24touch lena again and i'll throw you out of silvermoon pack myself
07:36the sting on my cheek spread like fire i wanted to hit back but out of the corner of my
07:41eye i saw
07:42the guests shifting around the venue this was my coming of age ceremony causing a scene would only
07:47drag the able name through the dirt lena stayed tucked behind kane that smirk still playing on her lips
07:52she leaned into his chest like she rehearsed it kane's hand hovered midair maybe he realized he'd
07:57gone too far his throat bobbed like words were stuck but lena rose onto her toes and whimpered
08:04kane my leg hurts so bad what if i never walk again her fingers curled around his wrist pulling
08:12every bit of his attention the whispers crashed in like waves their stares hit like poison needles
08:17stabbing into my skin no manners she'd go after her own sister over a mate as if she
08:22ever had a shot kane would never choose her kane threw me a disgusted glare why are you still
08:28standing there if something happens to lena you'll regret it his pack of followers jumped in loud and
08:33eager yeah apologize to lena you think you can cling to our next alpha just because your dad took a
08:39silver arrow for his i remembered everything breaking myself for kane training like hell just

09:01and lena i stared him down locked on those eyes a horn blasted long and hollow the beta strode in
09:12his cloudy eyes landed on my bruised pity flickered behind him a figure in black hood low jaw sharp as
09:19sin
09:19a silver etched blade strapped across his back wolf fong pendant swaying like it had a heartbeat
09:24casey moon fong theron's oldest just back from the black forest silence hit like a punch a few pups up
09:31front
09:31nearly dropped someone fumbled a wine bowl crash flames hissed as the liquor met fire even the beta
09:36twitched everyone knew when casey was capable he just skinned a challenger from graveclaw pack
09:41still reaped of blood casey stopped right in front of me his blade flipped once smooth the sheath
09:48tapped my arm barely what happened to your face voice sharp cut glass serious his icy stare sliced
09:54straight through me i met those deep blue eyes and saw it the memory him storming the dungeon bloodied and
09:59wild holding my dead body like it broke him he went rogue for me it's nothing i forced a smile
10:08tried to hide the bruise kane scoffed sliding between us he squared up k eve's my problem don't stress
10:18she's about to be my mate i've got it handled the beta frowned about to speak but casey shut him
10:23down
10:23with one look dad sent me said the able girl's ceremonies a pack matter let's move
10:35see still knows how to obey this time under kane's astonished gaze i walked toward casey with resolute
10:41steps just as in the previous life he had walked toward me without hesitation or regret king was
10:46practically using smug like he already saw the alpha crest hanging around his neck yeah didn't last the
10:52second the pack filled the great hall theron stepped down from the platform ripping that
10:56scepter carved with wolf fangs his silver white hair caught the lights dude was ancient like over a
11:00hundred but still stood like a legend he reached for my hand smiling big day his voice carrying as he
11:06scanned the room eve's come of age and just like i promised her father she'll choose one of my sons
11:12as
11:12her mate once she does that wolf the next alpha everyone had their theories about who'd take over
11:19silver moon being alpha wasn't just a title it meant total control gasps rippled through the hall all
11:25eyes snapped to kane some lit with envy yeah they all remembered how hard i used to fall for him
11:30now
11:31theron said patting my hand let the chosen step forward i'll witness it myself kane shot up straighter
11:39chin high already halfway into his victory strut until theron threw up a hand then theron turned gaze
11:44softening toward the corner casey he'd swapped into the ceremonial look hair tied back tight every
11:50angle of his face sharp enough to cut in his hand a bundle of moon petals still glowing from the
11:55cedar
11:55woods he walked up steady as ever and stopped in front of me you ready eve
12:02the second casey spoke the hall buzzed like a kicked beehive wolves leaned in whispering fast how's it him
12:10didn't eve love kane so much she nearly died for him why kane is this some kind of screw up
12:17kane's face went dark he stormed forward voice cracking with panic father this has to be a

13:10wrist hard enough to bruise liar you love me everyone knows you'd have died for me how could
13:15you pick this savage father forced you didn't he the beta shoved between us ripping kane's hand off

13:33them it's wrong you chose me there and flicked a hand the guard slammed the door shut echoing thud
13:40silence hit like a slap the beta handed me a carved wooden box hatched with the silver moon totem
13:45miss abel a gift from the alpha may your bond strengthen the pack something flickering in my
13:51chest inside was the alpha crest passed down for generations the one kane spent his whole past life
13:56chasing at the banquet torchlight danced along the stone walls i scanned the crowd no sign of kane
14:03i turned berry wine in hand and smacked straight into a solid chest the sharp scent of pine hit me
14:08my eyes burned back then when kane locked me in that cellar it was casey who kicked the door down
14:13and carried me out barely breathing he was wrecked bleeding everywhere snarling at the wolves crowding us
14:20you will face the consequences i will not let you harm her
14:24after i died he turned that dungeon into a bloodbath dragged every one of kane's dirty
14:28secrets straight to theron i'd already left my body by then just a soul watching him take on the
14:33whole pack for me that's when it hit me this brutal wolf had always put me first since i came
14:37back

14:43casey to sit at his right every wolf in the hall froze that seat meant one thing casey was the
14:48next
14:49alpha no hesitation he took the spot like it was already his whispers surged through the crowd
14:54no one saw this coming they figured i'd still be tangled up in kane and casey the lone wolf who
15:00once smashed a wine jug and shouted he'd never stop for any shoe wolf why the hell would he agree
15:04to
15:05bond with me right in the middle of the buzz kane stumbled through the crowd drunk and pathetic he
15:09slurred loud and messy father you can't approve their bond theron looked him over drunk staggering
15:17reeking and snapped if he can still stand he can crawl to his quarters don't disgrace us kane latched

17:14with a quiet smile but he looked away knocked back his drink in one go that sharp swallowed that
17:19whatever storm he wasn't showing rumors in silver moon pack spread faster than a rogue on the run
17:24some swore came through down with the alpha over me in the grand hall others whispered he'd been
17:28glued to lena ever since i picked kasey didn't matter i tuned it all out our bonding ceremony was
17:34locked in for the next full moon one morning before then i found kasey waiting at the edge of
17:39the training grounds he leaned on a blade stabbed into the dirt dude dripping off his hair didn't say

22:53after him but he stopped her called her ungrateful i gave a small nod there drama i was done with
22:59it
22:59the morning of the bonding ceremony i was up before the sun casey stepped in pushing back the tent flap
23:05cradling a bunch of fresh astro leaves dewy and wild from the cedar woods he didn't say a word just
23:10scooped me up and carried me straight toward the moon goddess statue i glanced at him he wasn't anything
23:15like kane kane was wildfire loud cocky always looking for trouble casey icebound fong sharp jaw
23:23blade straight nose eyes locked ahead like nothing could shake him everyone said he couldn't love but
23:28i remembered the way he tore through the dungeon to get to me and now seeing that same tension in
23:33his
23:33lips heat bloomed in my chest same path to the altar but everything had changed last time trailing
23:39behind kane my gut twisted with dread praying he wouldn't flake now wrapped in casey's arms i felt
23:45grounded then he stopped cold kane stood dead center in front of the moon goddess statue full
23:50ceremonial gear silver moon groom's emblem gleaming on his chest blocking our way no one thought he'd
23:56actually crash the ceremony you're mine he'd completely lost it casey lowered me to the ground
24:02and started to step forward alone but i grabbed his wrist and moved beside him
24:08he looked at me morning light hit his eyes molten gold something in him shifted then kane saw our hands
24:14his wolf snapped he ripped the blade from his belt and slammed into the dirt
24:19eve come with me let's swear before the moon goddess you were always mine unreal the same wolf who tossed
24:27me aside now begging like it meant something kane if you're here to witness the ceremony stay
24:31but if you're here to wreck it whatever happens next that's on you witness he snapped voice climbing you
24:39told me you'd only ever love me swore you'd never bond with any and else then you lunged guys wild
24:48wave flashing kacy didn't blink he ain't see behind him and stepped straight into it steel met skin with
24:54a brutal crack he caught the blade in the bear running real fast trailing down his fingers i grabbed his
25:00hand you're insane why would you block it with your hand we need the healer now kane just stood there
25:06wrecked you used to worry about me like that now you won't even look at me he's my mate
25:14who else would i worry about guards swarmed in slamming kane to the ground he fought like a feral
25:20howling and thrashing then lena came running out of nowhere sobbing as she threw herself at
25:25him he shoved her off like she was nothing and screamed at the moon goddess statue moon goddess
25:32hear me i was wrong just one more chance i'll protect eve forever i swear she'll never suffer
25:39again i didn't even glance his way the healer was already wrapping kacy's hand just a cut nothing deep
25:45take him to the dungeon the alpha can decide what happens after the ceremony my voice didn't waver
25:51kacy grabbed my wrist with his good hand and led me up to the altar
25:54right before the moon goddess under her gaze we completed the bond later i heard there and tore
25:59into kane himself then banished him to the forest's edge no orders no entry silver moon was off limits
26:06for good night had already settled when kacy came in i was curled up on the bed watching as he
26:11shut
26:11the door with a solid thud what you planning to stand there guarding the door all night after the
26:15ceremony i tapped the spot beside me get over here he didn't say a word just walked over pulled off
26:20his
26:21robe and let it drop his back was all muscle and scars some old some fresh warrior proof then he
26:27leaned down arms braced on either side of me breath hot with cedar liquor didn't someone just tell me to
26:33get in bed i looked up at that jaw sharp as ever and reached for his ear burning just like

27:09worth it he laughed deep and satisfied smart girl eve i love you three moons later the healer gave me
27:18the news i was carrying a pup by then casey had already claimed the alpha title he froze staring at
27:24my belly his hand hovered trembling touch it i said guiding his calm down his skin burned hot
27:31fingers still shaking eve we're having a pup he breathed eyes wide stunned i just nodded
27:39smiling then word came from the eastern plains after kane rejected lena she snapped ran wild
27:45vanished from silverman guards found her later night torn out by some bees in the black forest
27:50same day kane died autumn rains hit hard landslide crashed the forest he got pinned under the rubble
27:57by the time the guards reached him one leg was mangled twisted beyond saving when i showed up he
28:03raised a shaky arm eve you came casey moved to hold me back but i caught his wrist let me
28:10end this
28:11for good i knelt beside kane blood was everywhere thick metallic his dead eyes flickered do you remember
28:18in our last life he caught blood voice turned to shreds you bonded to me under the moon goddess statue
28:28said it'd be forever
28:31said you'd plant moon pestles in the yard his fingers clotted the mud like he was digging up ghosts
28:36we had a pup she had your eyes chased fireflies in the yard i let him talk then i laughed
28:44cold and sharp
28:45keep repeating it maybe one day you'll believe it but guess what i came back too
28:52his eyes blew white shock hitting him like lightning you you i remember everything
29:00you locked me up i died me and our pup full of hate
29:07his mouth but no words came just a rasp blood bubbled at his lips his body faded fast but his
29:14eyes never left mind burning with denial and despair when the last breath slipped out his
29:18hand was still reaching for me casey stepped in wrapped his cloak around me and pulled me close
29:23let's go i lean into casey's chest letting the sound of his heartbeat round me rain slam down pounding
29:30the rubble washing away the rot of the past i was finally free sunlight broke through lighting
29:35up our joint hands warm and full of peace
