Short filmTranscript
00:01On the night my husband died saving me, his last words were
00:05If there is a next life, leave me be with Jade
00:11So when I woke up back on the day I begged my father to let me marry him
00:15I chose someone else instead
00:19My first mating ceremony with Vincent
00:21I learned the true weight of hatred
00:24Before the silver moon god, Princess Lydia and Beta Vincent
00:28Shall mark one another
00:30Bite the neck and seal your bond as mates
00:34Till death do you part
00:36My heart pounded so hard I could hear it in my ears
00:39I stepped forward, my legs barely supporting me
00:42And leaned toward Vincent's neck
00:44A silver moon mark appeared on his wrist
00:46The first sign that the bond was forming
00:47That the goddess had blessed our union
00:49Vincent lowered his head as if to return the gesture
00:52But he did not bite me
00:53And then he whispered
00:55You forced Jade to marry the alpha of the snow wolf pack
00:58And now you're forcing me to mate with you
01:01I hate you Lydia
01:02I will never love you
01:04I froze
01:05The hopeful smile on my face slowly disappeared
01:08Replaced by shock and heartbreak so profound
01:10I thought I might shatter into pieces right there on the altar
01:12Vincent straightened
01:14The silver moon mark on his wrist
01:16The mark that should have bound us together for eternity
01:18Shattered into fragments of light and faded away
01:20Without another word
01:22He turned and walked away from the altar
01:27I called after him
01:28My voice breaking
01:29But he didn't turn around
01:30He didn't even slow down
01:32I stood there in my beautiful silver gray gown
01:34Surrounded by hundreds of staring eyes
01:36And felt my world collapse
01:37Vincent loved my stepsister
01:39He always had
01:41And I was just the woman standing in their way
01:43That night
01:44While I stood humiliated at my own mating ceremony
01:47My stepsister Jade met a far worse fate
01:49In the snow wolf territory
01:51Far from our forest
01:52Jade lay pinned to a glowing blood-red magic circle
01:54Several snow wolves clamped their jaws onto her arms and legs
01:57Holding her down as she struggled in agony
02:00Blood poured from her wounds as the ritual began
02:02The magic circle erupted with blinding crimson light
02:05Around her
02:06The snow wolf clan stood in human form
02:08A silver moon crest appeared on each of their foreheads
02:11Then shattered into glowing fragments and disappeared
02:13The curse that bound them
02:15The curse my ancestors had placed on them centuries ago
02:17Had been lifted
02:18The snow wolves burst into tears of relief and joy
02:21But their expression soon turned cold
02:23As they looked down at Jade trembling on the ground
02:25One by one
02:26They transformed into wolves and descended upon her
02:29Jade's screams echoed through the night
02:31As the pack tore her apart
02:32The snow wolves killed Jade on her arrival
02:34They drained her blood to cure their curse
02:36Then they devoured her until nothing remained
02:39For eight years after that night
02:41Hatred was all there was between Vincent and me
02:43We fought constantly
02:45We clashed in pack meetings
02:46In training
02:47In every aspect of our lives
02:49Two wolves colliding in a violent fight over and over again
02:52Me the silver grey
02:53Him the dark brown
02:54We clawed and slammed into each other with savage force
02:57Until one of us finally pinned the other
02:58Usually
02:59It was him
03:00I would shift back into human form
03:02And press my hand against whatever wound I'd earned in the latest battle
03:04Watching him disappear into the distance with tears filling my eyes
03:07Eight years of hatred
03:09Eight years of loving someone who would never love me back
03:12When the war with the snow wolves finally began
03:14Vincent swore to avenge Jade
03:15But the snow wolves were too strong
03:17And soon the forest was filled with the corpses of our kin
03:20I was in human form
03:21Covered in wounds and surrounded by snow wolves closing in for the kill
03:24I had accepted my fate
03:26After eight years of misery
03:28Death almost seemed like a relief
03:29Suddenly a brown wolf burst through the pack
03:32It was Vincent
03:33He threw me onto his back and raced through the forest as the snow wolves pursued us
03:37I clung to his fur, too weak and shocked to do anything else
03:40Vincent reached the ancient altar
03:42The same altar where we had almost become mates eight years ago
03:44And shifted into human form
03:46I slid down from his back, struggling to stand
03:49Without hesitation, Vincent drew a blade and cut open his own chest
03:53Blood poured down his body
03:55I stared at him in shock
03:56Vincent, what are you doing?
03:58Drops of his blood fell onto the altar
04:00And a crimson magic circle appeared beneath my feet
04:02A transparent barrier rose around me, sealing the inside
04:05I rushed forward and pounded against the barrier
04:08But it would not break
04:09I'm teleporting you out with my life
04:12Consider it repayment for the years you loved me
04:15But if there is a next life
04:17Leave me be with Jaded
04:22I screamed
04:23But the snow wolves had arrived at the altar
04:25Vincent turned to face them alone
04:27The wolves leaped onto him and tore into his body
04:29Claws ripped through flesh and blood splashed across the stone altar
04:35I slammed my fists against the barrier as my body slowly began to fade
04:38Vincent, I never imagined you would die to save me
04:41If there truly is another life, I will never chase after you again
04:45My body dissolved into light and disappeared within the magic circle
04:48A single tear mixed with blood fell onto the altar
04:51The crimson circle suddenly turned gold, erupting with a brilliant light that flooded the forest
04:55I opened my eyes
04:57I was standing in the middle of the silver moon palace
04:59My father was looking down at me, sullen and mighty
05:02And Jade, Jade, who should have been dead for eight years
05:05Gazed at me with hatred
05:06Wait, I thought, my mind reeling
05:09I'm actually back to the day when I begged father to make Vincent my mate
05:13Lydia, my father said, his voice heavy with authority
05:16The snow wolves demand a daughter of mine to mate with their alpha
05:20And lift the curse for them
05:22If we say no, there will be a war we can't win
05:26Are you still sure you are turning down the offer to marry Vincent?
05:30I stared at him, my heart pounding
05:32This is it
05:33This is the moment everything changes
05:35In my previous life, I had insisted on marrying Vincent
05:38I had manipulated and begged and cried until my father gave in
05:42And what had it gotten me?
05:44Eight years of hatred
05:45Eight years of misery
05:46And Vincent dying to save me, only because he felt obligated
05:50No more
05:51Father
05:52I've changed my mind
05:54I will fulfill my duty and marry the snow wolf alpha
05:59Jade suddenly looked up, staring at me in disbelief
06:01Haven't you always wanted to marry Vincent?
06:04What changed your mind?
06:05What are you planning?
06:07I met her gaze without flinching
06:08I'm not planning anything
06:10But I do have one condition
06:12My father's eyes narrowed with suspicion
06:14What condition?
06:16Keep it secret, till the day of the mating ceremony
06:19A flicker of excitement crossed Jade's face
06:22Sure, I have no problem with that
06:24Consider it my repayment for Vincent saving my life in our last life, I thought
06:28It will also be the final chapter between us and this one
06:31My father sighed
06:32Very well
06:33In five days, the two of you will hold their mating ceremonies with your destined partners
06:40I will have the preparations arranged
06:43I lowered my gaze with a bitter smile
06:45Destined partners?
06:47My father has never cared about my happiness
06:50Between Jade and me, he has always favored the daughter my stepmother gave him
06:53The palace doors opened and I stepped outside
06:56The first thing I saw was Vincent kneeling in the pouring rain, his back straight and unmoving
07:00It's him, just like before
07:02Even in this life, he was here begging for Jade on his knees
07:06In my previous life, I had reacted with fury
07:08I had ordered him taken away, had watched him struggle and scream as the attendants dragged him off
07:13No! Let me go!
07:17I had made everything worse
07:18This time would be different
07:20I walked toward Vincent with an umbrella, the rain pounding heavily around us
07:24He looked up at me, frowning slightly, then quickly looked away
07:28Why are you here?
07:29Vincent
07:30Have you ever thought about something?
07:33If Jade doesn't go, then the one who must go
07:35Is me
07:37His expression remained cold
07:39As long as you don't interfere
07:41I can lead the army and conquer the snow wolf pack myself
07:45Then neither of you will have to marry that brute
07:48I let out a soft, almost amused laugh
07:51He still doesn't understand
07:53The snow wolves are too strong
07:55In my previous life, they nearly destroyed us
07:58Then I wish, you will get what you wish for
08:01I let out a cold laugh and walked away from Vincent beneath my umbrella
08:04When he sees Jade instead of me when the veil is lifted, he will be so happy
08:08Vincent, you saved my life and our last life
08:11In this one, I've repaid that debt
08:13We are clear
08:14Behind me, I could feel this surprised stare on my retreating figure
08:18She used to always make a scene for this
08:20He was probably thinking
08:21Why is she so calm today?
08:23Let him wonder
08:24It didn't matter anymore
08:26Night fell, and I sat on my bed preparing to sleep
08:29The events of the day had exhausted me emotionally, even if my body wasn't tired
08:34Being back in this time, seeing Vincent so young and full of hatred for me
08:37It was harder than I had expected
08:39Suddenly, loud and chaotic pounding erupted at my door
08:43I frowned and walked over to open it
08:45The moment the door opened, Vincent shoved me back against it
08:48His eyes glowed red and the heavy smell of alcohol clung to him
08:51Lydia, why did you have to send Jade to the Snow Wolf Pack?
08:56You, you let the Alpha to your order
08:58You manipulated the Alpha to give the order
09:01Vincent, let go!
09:04You're hurting me!
09:05The Snow Wolf Pack has a blood feud with us
09:09They have suffered under the curse from our ancestors for centuries
09:14What do you think they will do to Jade once the curses lift?
09:17Is that what you want?
09:19You want your sister dead?
09:21He tightened his grip on my shoulders
09:22His fingers digging into my flesh
09:24Jealous, vicious woman like you doesn't deserve anyone's love!
09:29Do you really think forcing me to mate with you will make me submert?
09:35Dream on!
09:36I froze, my eyes reddening as I stared at him in disbelief
09:39That look of hatred on his face
09:41It's exactly the same as the day we turned our swords against each other in our last life
09:45A bitter smile crossed my lips
09:47I lifted my hand and released a burst of magic
09:49Vincent was thrown several meters away
09:52Crashing to the ground before barely managing to kneel
09:55Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth
09:58Vincent, don't forget your place
10:00He wiped the blood from his lips with his knuckle and looked up at me in stunned silence
10:04Vincent slowly stood
10:06The alcohol haze in his eyes faded slightly as his mind cleared
10:09He walked closer to me
10:11His gaze fell on the red mark along my neck, the mark his grip had left
10:14His throat tightened and a flicker of regret crossed his eyes
10:17I pressed a hand against my shoulder, biting back the pain as I stared at him
10:22I'm sorry, I've had too much to drink
10:25I turned away from him, my expression cold
10:30On the day of the mating ceremony you will get what you want, now please leave
10:34I turned to go back inside, his hand shot out and grabbed my wrist
10:38Let me take you to the witch doctor, she can treat your injury
10:41I glanced back, his concern appeared genuine
10:45Genuine concern, or guilt?
10:47Memories flooded my mind unbidden
10:49I was young, kneeling among a field of bright flowers, picking a red blossom
10:53The pollen suddenly corroded my skin
10:56The flesh on my palm and legs began to blister and bleed
10:59I burst into tears
11:00Young Vincent ran toward me as fast as he could
11:03Lydia, don't be afraid!
11:04He rushed through the poisonous flowers and lifted me onto his back
11:07Carrying me out of the field
11:09His own skin was burned and bleeding from the corrosion
11:11I watched him with tearful gratitude
11:14Then another memory, young Vincent and I were suddenly attacked by a horned beast in the forest
11:18Vincent stepped in front of me to shield me
11:20The creature slammed into him, sending him crashing to the ground as he caught up blood
11:26Other brown wolves rushed in and drove the beast away
11:29I knelt beside Vincent, crying as I held him
11:32He gently wiped away my tears
11:35As long as you are safe
11:39After my mother died, Vincent always looked after me
11:42He always protected me, even risking his own life
11:45I felt for him and thought he was my savior
11:47But then Jade appeared
11:49Jade and I trained with several young pack members under the guidance of the pack witch
11:53Jade suddenly smirked and secretly cast a spell toward me
12:01I was struck and immediately retaliated in anger
12:07Vincent rushed over
12:08I watched in heartbreak as Vincent carried her away
12:20Jade looked back over his shoulder, smiling mockingly at me
12:24After Jade appeared, I finally understood
12:27Everything Vincent had done for me was only repayment for the kindness my mother once showed him
12:31I mistook it for love and clumped to that illusion for an entire lifetime
12:34I looked at Vincent for a long moment
12:36It's time to let go
12:39There's no need
12:40He stared at me in surprise
12:42She has never looked at me like this before
12:44Why does it feel like she's become a completely different person today?
12:48Just then, Jade appeared
12:49Vincent!
12:50The moment he saw her, his expression softened
12:53Vincent, what about the wolf fang charms you promised to make for me?
12:57He took a small cloth patch from his coat and opened it
13:01Right here
13:01Revealing many golden wolf fang charms of different shapes
13:04Jade's eyes widened with amazement
13:08Vincent, you're incredible
13:10Well, you must have made these for lots of people, right?
13:13No
13:15I only make them for people I care about
13:17Vincent lowered his head as he took out one charm and fastened it around Jade's neck
13:21My eyes locked onto the wolf fang charm
13:23My chest rose and fell sharply as a ringing sound filled my ears
13:26My mother sat on a large round stone beside a silver wolf statue deep in the forest
13:32Suspended in the air before her was a wolf fang engraved with runes
13:36With her eyes closed, she chanted softly, weaving magic into the fang
13:42Young Vincent and I stood nearby, watching curiously
13:46My mother smiled and placed the wolf hand charm into my little hands
13:51I clapped happily and laughed
13:53A white coffin rested in the forest
13:55My mother lay inside
13:56I knelt on the ground beside it, crying uncontrollably
13:59Standing next to me, young Vincent gently pressed a wolf fang charm into my hand
14:03His own hands were covered in fresh wounds
14:05It was my mother who taught Vincent the spell to enchant the charm
14:08She used to make many charms to protect me
14:10After her death, Vincent took her place
14:12Vincent carefully dripped his blood onto a wolf fang, preparing another charm
14:16Suddenly I rushed in and snatched it from his hands
14:19I clenched my fist tightly
14:21And the wolf fang crumbled into glittering particles of light
14:23You are not making charms for her
14:25That's enough
14:26How long are you going to keep bullying Jade?
14:28Vincent stared at me with open disgust
14:30He turned and walked away without another word
14:32I stood frozen as tears welled in my eyes
14:35Vicinit, have you forgotten?
14:37My mother died because of Jade's mother
14:39In the present, Jade glanced deliberately toward me with a provocative smile
14:43Jade doesn't even like those show's tears charms
14:47This is just her way to provoke me
14:50My hands clenched into fists
14:52I turned and shut the door behind me
14:55At the same moment I turned away, Vincent looked up
14:58Why did Lydia leave?
15:00Is she mad at me?
15:02Vincent watched my back for a long moment, deep in thought
15:05Vincent, you despise me so much
15:07Don't worry
15:08In three days, you and I will never have to see each other again for good
15:12Inside the magnificent palace hall, nobles dressed in luxurious attire mingled and danced beneath glittering chandeliers
15:19At the center of the crowd, Jade stood with red hidden eyes
15:23Crying softly as several guests gathered around her in sympathy
15:27After tonight's farewell a banquet, you'll be sent to marry our enemy, the brutal snow wolf king
15:32And as your sister, all Lydia cares about is her marriage with Vincent?
15:37She's even forcing him to mate with her
15:39She's ridiculous
15:40Jade, we'll miss you so much
15:42I am a princess of the silver moon pack
15:45The pack must come before my personal feelings
15:47If the marriage can put a stop to the bloodshed between us, then it shall be done
15:51You've got such a big heart
15:52How can Lydia miss out on your farewell party?
15:54This is outrageous
15:55Maybe she doesn't deserve to be the princess of silver moon pack after all
15:59Talking behind my back
16:01I entered the hall, dressed in an elegant gown, my presence sharp and commanding
16:05I walked straight through the crowd until I stood before Jade and the gossing nobles
16:10Who are you to judge me?
16:13I drained the wine in my glass in one motion and turned
16:16Leaving the banquet alone
16:18Near the silver wolf statue in the garden, I paused beside it, trying to clear the alcohol from my head
16:24Sister, I know you decided to take my place and go to the snow wolf pack instead
16:28But that was your own choice
16:29I never forced you
16:31Behind me, Vincent quietly appeared, watching from a distance
16:34Jade noticed him, a cold smile briefly curled at the corner of her lips
16:37She placed a hand over her chest
16:39Because I stood between them, Vincent could not see what Jade was doing
16:42She secretly cast a spell
16:44Suddenly my arm moved against my will as if guided by an invisible hand
16:47A bolt of lightning magic struck toward Jade
16:49Vinicent reacted instantly
16:51He cast a spell that slammed into me
16:54Vincent rushed forward and pulled Jade protectively into his arms
16:57He glared furiously at me
16:59Enough!
17:00His teeth ground together with anger
17:02I thought you were only a bit childish
17:04But this is too much
17:06You are pure evil
17:07You almost killed Jade
17:09And for what?
17:11If your mother were still alive, she would be utterly ashamed to see what you've become
17:16Vincent
17:16My hand lifted
17:18As magic gathered in my palm
17:21Vincent raised his hand as well
17:23We faced each other in open confrontation
17:27While the surrounding guests stared in shock
17:30In our previous life, during the eight years after we didn't marry, we argued over Jade countless times
17:34But we never truly tried to hurt each other
17:36I raised my hand higher, but this time, golden light burst from my palm and shot toward Vincent
17:41His eyes widened in shock
17:43Around us, the crowd gasped in disbelief
17:46Suddenly, I coughed up blood
17:47The golden light in my hand flickered and dissolved just inches before reaching Vincent
17:51My legs gave out beneath me
17:53My legs gave out beneath me
17:54I fell forward, but landed in a firm pair of arms
17:59Lydia, what's wrong with you?
18:01For a brief moment, panic flashed across his face
18:04With the last of my strength, I grabbed his collar and clenched it tightly
18:08You have no right to speak about my mother
18:14Lydia
18:15Lydia
18:17Vincent, I
18:19Vincent did not stop
18:20His attention remained entirely on me as he strode away, leaving Jade behind
18:25Jade's expression darkened instantly
18:27Lydia
18:29You're already going to marry our enemy and walk to your own death
18:32Yet you're still trying to deal Vincent from me
18:35The next thing I knew, I was lying weakly on my bed
18:39Barely conscious as the witch doctor finished casting a healing spell and quietly left the room
18:43I slowly opened my eyes
18:45The first thing I saw was Vincent standing beside the bed, waiting with visible guilt in his expression
18:50In our previous life, Vincent never came to see me on his own
18:54Even when I was gravely ill, he only sent someone to summon a healer
18:58He avoided me as if I were a plague
19:00Why are you here?
19:01I'm sorry
19:04There's no need for apologies between us anymore
19:07Leaf
19:08I closed my eyes
19:10Behind me, a sharp sound suddenly echoed through the room
19:13Vincent had slapped himself hard across the face
19:15Moments later, the sound of his footsteps faded
19:18The door opened, then closed
19:21Only then did I fully open my eyes again
19:23Vincent, you will be free very soon
19:25In just a few days, you will finally marry the woman you have loved through both lifetimes
19:30After that, you will never have to see me again
19:33And I will never have to suffer for you anymore
19:35Moonlight, outlined Vincent's tall figure standing outside my door
19:40He remained there, motionless, for two days and nights
19:45Inside my room, I opened, a silver jewel box encrusted with diamonds
19:50Inside rested a wolf hand charm
19:52The one Vincent had made for me long ago, before Jade, before everything changed
19:57Through the window, I glanced toward Vincent, standing outside
20:01Since that night, Vincent has stood outside my door for two days and nights
20:05But I haven't let him in
20:07Lydia, I will marry you
20:10I will spend the rest of my life making up for what I did to hurt you
20:14I swear it in the name of the goddess of the moon
20:16I raised my hand and quietly cast a spell
20:20Inside the room, the lights dimmed instantly
20:23Vincent waited outside for a moment longer
20:26Then, realizing I would not answer him, he finally turned and walked away
20:31I heard his footsteps fade
20:32A single tear slipped down from the corner of my eye
20:35He has no idea
20:36Tomorrow, I will take my sister's place and marry the snow wolf Alpha
20:40I will mate with our enemy, with little chance to survive
20:43The woman he will marry, is Jade
20:45Deep within the silver moon packs forest
20:47White roses bloomed everywhere on the day of the mating ceremonies
20:51The ceremonial grounds were lavishly decorated
20:53And a crowd gathered around the central altar
20:55As that's cantricion of the Stalans of Weisingun Ascendions
20:59At the boundary where the forest met the snow fields, I stood alone
21:03I turned back to look at the dense forest behind me
21:06My eyes filled with quiet reluctance
21:08By now, Vincent has probably received the surprise I left for him
21:12Vincent, what I owed you from our last life has been repaid
21:15A pack of snow-white wolves emerged from the snowy plain and approached me, their eyes fierce
21:21You longer belong to the forest
21:23Come with us
21:26I turned back calmly and walked toward them
21:28Was lifted a veil over my face, then climbed onto the back of one of the wolves
21:33In the distance, a brown wolf burst from the forest, racing toward us at full speed
21:38The wolf skidded to a halt before the snow wolves but was quickly surrounded
21:42With no other choice, it shifted into human form
21:46It was Vincent
21:47I turned and saw his face
21:49Shock flooded my expression
21:50Vincent, what is he doing here?
21:53I sat atop the snow wolf
21:54My face hidden beneath the veil
21:56Isn't he supposed to be at the altar with Jade, preparing for the mating ceremony?
22:00What is he doing here?
22:02Vincent spotted me and immediately rushed forward
22:04The snow wolves beside me surged ahead as one, walking his path and snarling fiercely
22:09Vincent Armand
22:10One more step, and the snow wolf army will charge into your land and tear your clan apart
22:17Vincent gritted his teeth and stopped
22:19But his eyes remained fixed on me, filled with reluctance and aching of affection
22:24Let me escort you
22:26I remained silent
22:28Are you mad at me for marrying your sister?
22:31I froze slightly
22:32So he thinks I'm Jade, and he got here early for her
22:36Guess the big surprise hasn't reached him yet
22:39But this is a debt I owe her
22:41I owe it to her mother
22:43I had no other choice
22:45Jade, forgive me, please
22:47Beneath my veil, toll-like her veil
22:49I let out a bitter smile
22:51I'm sorry I couldn't stop this marriage
22:54But one day, I will lead an army
22:57Crush the snow wolf pack
22:59And bring you back safe and unharmed
23:02Believe me
23:03Vincent Armand
23:05Back away now, or your life ends here
23:10Take me
23:11The snow wolf snarled again and forced Vincent backward before turning as one
23:15They sprinted across the snow field and disappeared into the distance
23:19Behind us, Vincent chased a few desperate steps before stopping
23:23Jade aid!
23:25Vincent walked back toward the forest in a daze, each step feeling heavy
23:29If I had tried just a little harder, maybe Jade wouldn't have had to go
23:33He was probably thinking
23:34She must hate me for this
23:36But there's nothing I could do
23:38He returned to the ceremonial altar deep within the forest
23:41The gathered guests were visibly exhausted from waiting
23:43When they saw Vincent return, many of them let out quiet sighs of relief
23:48Vincent
23:48Your behavior is outrageous
23:51You kept all these people waiting and left my daughter standing here humiliated
23:55Is this a message to my house?
23:58Vincent knelt halfway in a formal salute, accepting the reprimand without protest
24:02Jade quickly reached for my father's arm and gently shook her head at him, coaxing
24:09Forget it, let's begin
24:10Vincent took a deep breath and slowly walked up onto the altar
24:13He stopped in front of Jade
24:15Regret filled his face
24:17The witch raised her staff and chanted an incantation
24:20The moon god be our witness
24:23Princess Jade and Beta Vincent shall mark one another with the bite of a mate bond
24:28From this moment on, your souls are bound till death do you part
24:35Under my father's stern gaze and the expectant eyes of the guests, Jade stepped closer to Vincent
24:40Vincent closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly, fists clenched tightly
24:44This is it, Jade and I will finally become destined mates
24:48Jade removed her veil and bit down on Vincent's neck
24:51That instant, a silver moon mark appeared on Vincent's wrist
24:54Jade tilted her head, watching him with anticipation
24:57Vincent opened his eyes and lowered his head to look at her
25:00The moment he saw her face, he froze
25:02Shock flooded his expression
25:04What? Jade?
25:06Vincent stared at Jade in disbelief
25:09Why is it you?
25:11Jade avoided his gaze, her expression shy and hesitant
25:14I... I don't know why either
25:17Yesterday, my sister, she was said you willing to go to the snow wolf pack, so...
25:20Vincent's eyes widened
25:22What did you say?
25:23The one marrying into the snow wolf pack is Lydia?
25:26He suddenly grabbed Jade by the shoulders, his hands trembling
25:29Than that woman
25:30The one taken away by the snow wolves alone
25:33I'm sorry I couldn't stop you from marrying our enemy
25:37But listen, one day I will lead an army, crush those snow wolves and make them beg for life beneath
25:42our feet
25:43I will bring you back
25:45Safe and sound
25:47Trust me
25:49Behind the veil, she gave a bitter smile
25:52Time to go
25:54The snow wolf snarled and forced him back before turning his head to one and sprinting away
25:58He chased after them a few desperate steps
26:01Jade!
26:03Vincent suddenly bolted from the altar platform
26:06Mid stride
26:07He transformed into a wolf and sprinted toward the snowfields at full speed
26:12Vincent! Where are you going?
26:14But he was already gone, his voice echoing with anguish and regret
26:18Inside the snow wolf palace, the halls were built entirely from ice and packed snow
26:22Cold and gleaming beneath pale light
26:23I walked slowly into the grand hall
26:25Every snow wolf present stared at me with undisguised hatred
26:29Low murmurs rippled through the crowd
26:31At the far end of the hall sat the ice throne
26:33Upon it lounged Damien Wraith, white hair, loose curls
26:36And a white cloak draped across his shoulders
26:38His gaze rested on me as though he were looking at a corpse
26:41I opened my mouth to speak
26:43But Damien attacked
26:45I instantly sensed the killing intent
26:47My eyes sharpened
26:49With a flash of magic
26:50A long sword appeared in my hand
26:52Just in time to block the wolf claws of Damien
26:54Who lunged at me in his wolf form
26:55In the blink of an eye, we exchanged several rapid strikes
26:58Damien shifted back into human form
27:01The earlier contempt in his eyes faded slightly
27:03Replaced by a flicker of interest
27:05Then he vanished
27:06A heartbeat later he reappeared behind me
27:08Gripping my throat in a crushing hold
27:11His chest pressed against my back as he restrained me
27:13I struggled to breathe
27:15You can't kill me
27:17Your people have suffered under the silver moon curse for generations
27:20If you don't form a mate bond with me
27:23None of you will live past 25
27:25Damien's hand morphed into a wolf claw and pierced into my chest
27:28Blood trickled down as he studied the terror in my eyes with cold fascination
27:34It seems you don't know
27:36Your blood alone can also weaken the curse
27:39Looking at him now
27:40So young yet overflowing with killing intent
27:42I finally understand why Jade died the very day she came here to form the bond
27:46I forced myself to speak through the pain
27:48My blood can't save your entire clan
27:50My blood can't save your entire clan
27:53But if you bond with me
27:54The curse will truly be broken
27:56And after that
27:57You'll never have to fear the silver moon curse again
28:01The hall erupted into heated discussion
28:03Damien slowly released me and stepped back
28:06I clutched my throat
28:08Gasping for air
28:09Suddenly he gripped my chin
28:11And lifted my face
28:12Forcing me to meet his eyes
28:14He studied me for a moment
28:15Interesting
28:16I'll give you a chance to live
28:18Walk out of this hall alive
28:20If you fail
28:22I'll lock you away
28:23And drain your blood every day
28:24Until the curse on every snow wolf is gone
28:27Before I could respond
28:28Damien disappeared
28:29I looked around
28:31Every snow wolf in the hall vanished at the same time
28:33Damien?
28:35Where did you all go?
28:38A low, thunderous growl suddenly echoed from above
28:41I slowly lifted my gaze
28:42Beyond the transparent ice ceiling
28:44A massive white bear stood outside
28:46Staring down at me
28:47Its eyes blazed with hunger and savage intent
28:49My eyes widened in horror
28:51Hey, giant bear
28:53Not far from the palace
28:55Damien and several snow wolves stood quietly
28:57Observing me through the transparent ice structure
28:59Alpha
29:01Are you truly going to kill her?
29:03Damien's eyes remained cold as he watched me inside
29:05If what she said is true
29:07We can always kill her after the curse is lifted
29:09But blood feuds like ours are never forgotten
29:12If we simply let her go
29:14Our ancestors and the clansmen who died will never accept it
29:17He paused, his gaze fixed on me
29:19Let her suffer a little first
29:21Inside the palace, I stood tense and alert
29:23Damien watched me closely
29:25I suddenly turned and tried to run
29:27With a thunderous crash, the giant bear smashed through the ice roof
29:31Shards of frozen stone rained down as it landed directly in front of me
29:34Blocking my escape
29:35Outside, Damien continued watching
29:37Looking at her closely, he thought
29:40She is quite lively and beautiful
29:42A pity she was born in the wrong place and came to the wrong place
29:45She was always destined to become a sacrifice for her hatred
29:48He exhaled quietly
29:50He had no desire to watch me torn apart
29:52Turning away, he gave an order
29:54When it's over, bring her body back to the inner hall
29:57Have the witch-octer keep her alive
29:59That will be enough
30:00Yes, Alpha
30:01Damien began to walk away
30:03He had barely taken a few steps when startled cries erupted behind him
30:08Alpha, something's happening
30:09Damien froze in place
30:11Momentarily stunned
30:13Inside the palace, I drew my sword
30:15The entire blade erupted into blazing flames
30:20Shock, quickly followed by admiration crossed his features
30:23On my face
30:25Cold sweat beaded across my skin
30:27Yet my expression remained steady and calm
30:31I stood with my flaming sword raised
30:33The fear and panic that once filled my eyes had completely vanished
30:36The roaring flame startled the giant bear
30:39It instinctively retreated, letting out a low, uneasy growl
30:42I held the burning sword in one hand while chanting a spell with the other
30:46Golden runes spilled from my lips one after a gather, spiraling around the blade
30:50The flames surged higher and higher, growing nearly as tall as the bear itself
30:58With a fierce shout, I lifted the sword with both hands
31:01And leaped into the air, charging towards the giant bear
31:04Outside, watching from a distance, Damien's expression deepened with surprise
31:08In his eyes now shone unmistakable admiration
31:11The blazing fire terrified the giant bear, causing it to turn and flee
31:15But I struck first
31:16With a powerful swing, I brought the sword down in a blazing arc
31:20One clean strike
31:21The bear's head was severed instantly
31:23The massive body collapsed to the ground, shaking the palace like an earthquake
31:27I landed lightly
31:28I planted one foot on the fallen bear's head
31:31My body smeared with blood and fire
31:33After a moment, my strength gave way
31:35My body swayed
31:37I drove the sword into the ground to stable myself
31:40Then dropped to one knee, breathing heavily
31:42A deep claw wound tore across my right shoulder
31:46Blood steadily soaking through my clothes
31:48The watching snow wolves stared in disbelief
31:51Everyone except Damien looked completely stunned
31:54That silver moon woman killed a giant bear by herself
31:56If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I never would have believed it
32:00Could she possess some extraordinary power?
32:04Alpha, should we take advantage of her weakness and finish her off?
32:07Damien studied me for a long moment
32:09Then he lifted his hand slightly and turned away
32:11Withdraw
32:12The others froze briefly before quickly following him
32:15As they left, the first subordinate kept glancing back toward me, muttering quietly
32:24Inside my new room, I sat on the edge of the bed with one shoulder exposed
32:28I poured a vial of crystal clear glowing liquid onto the claw wound on my shoulder
32:32Unnoticed by me, Damien quietly stepped inside
32:35Seeing me with my robe partly loosened
32:37He leaned against the doorframe and watched in silence for a moment
32:40The liquid touched the wound
32:42The torn flesh immediately began to close
32:44Just as I reached to pull my clothes back into place, Damien walked over and pressed down on the hand
32:49holding my robe
32:50I startled, my heart suddenly tightening
32:52Who's there?
32:53I turned my head
32:54Damien stood before me
32:56An untamed aura of wildness and killing intent radiating from him
33:00In an instant, a dagger slid from my sleeve
33:02I raised it and pressed the blade against Damien's throat
33:05He arched a brow, completely unafraid
33:08Instead of retreating, his hand slid along my arm before gripping my chin and lifting my face toward his
33:13His gaze lingered between my eyes and my lips
33:16Such courage
33:18Do you really think you could kill me?
33:23Suddenly my body froze
33:24I could no longer move
33:26The dagger clenched in my hand became encased in frost
33:29The thin layer of ice spread quickly before shattering into fragments
33:32Alarm flashed across my eyes
33:34Damien lifted me effortlessly and threw me down onto the bed
33:38I pushed against his chest in panic, watching him warily
33:40What are you doing?
33:42Making you fulfill your obligation
33:45What?
33:46You're going to become my mate
33:49Damien leaned down
33:50His sharp fangs pierced the side of my neck
33:52I grabbed his chest instinctively, trying to push him away
33:56At that moment, a snow white mark appeared on my wrist
33:59Damien pulled me into a fierce kiss
34:05Loud pounding erupted at the door
34:09Alpha!
34:10The silver moon Veda Vincent has forced his way into the palace alone
34:13He says he'll die before leaving, unless he sees the Luna
34:17Then what do you want from me?
34:20I don't understand
34:22The silver moon Veda Vincent has forced his way into the palace
34:22The silver moon Veda Vincent has forced his way into the palace
34:22The silver moon Veda Vincent has forced his way into the palace
34:24The silver moon Veda Vincent has forced his way into the palace
34:24The silver moon Veda Vincent has forced his way into the palace
