00:00On the night my husband died saving me, his last words were
00:03If there is a next life, leave me be with Jade
00:09So when I woke up back on the day I begged my father to let me marry him
00:13I chose someone else instead
00:17My first mating ceremony with Vincent
00:19I learned the true weight of hatred
00:22Before the silver moon god, Princess Lydia and Beta Vincent
00:26Shall mark one another, bite the neck, and seal your bond as mates
00:31Till death do you part
00:34My heart pounded so hard I could hear it in my ears
00:36I stepped forward, my legs barely supporting me, and leaned toward Vincent's neck
00:41A silver moon mark appeared on his wrist
00:43The first sign that the bond was forming, that the goddess had blessed our union
00:47Vincent lowered his head as if to return the gesture
00:49But he did not bite me, and then he whispered
00:52You forced Jade to marry the alpha of the snow wolf pack
00:55And now you're forcing me to mate with you
00:59I hate you Lydia, I will never love you
01:01I froze, the hopeful smile on my face slowly disappeared
01:05Replaced by shock and heartbreak so profound I thought I might shatter into pieces right there on the altar
01:09Vincent straightened, the silver moon mark on his wrist
01:12The mark that should have bound us together for eternity
01:15Shattered into fragments of light and faded away
01:17Without another word, he turned and walked away from the altar
01:23I called after him, my voice breaking, but he didn't turn around
01:27He didn't even slow down
01:29I stood there in my beautiful silver gray gown, surrounded by hundreds of staring eyes, and felt my world collapse
01:34Vincent loved my stepsister
01:36He always had, and I was just the woman standing in their way
01:40That night, while I stood humiliated at my own mating ceremony
01:43My stepsister Jade met a far worse fate
01:46In the snow wolf territory, far from our forest, Jade lay pinned to a glowing blood-red magic circle
01:51Several snow wolves clamped their jaws onto her arms and legs
01:54Holding her down as she struggled in agony
01:56Blood poured from her wounds as the ritual began
01:58The magic circle erupted with blinding crimson light
02:01Around her, the snow wolf clan stood in human form
02:05A silver moon crest appeared on each of their foreheads, then shattered into glowing fragments and disappeared
02:10The curse that bound them, the curse my ancestors had placed on them centuries ago, had been lifted
02:15The snow wolves burst into tears of relief and joy
02:17But their expression soon turned cold as they looked down at Jade trembling on the ground
02:21One by one, they transformed into wolves and descended upon her
02:25Jade's screams echoed through the night as the pack tore her apart
02:28The snow wolves killed Jade on her arrival
02:30They drained her blood to cure their curse
02:32Then they devoured her until nothing remained
02:35For eight years after that night
02:37Hatred was all there was between Vincent and me
02:39We fought constantly
02:40We clashed in pack meetings, in training, in every aspect of our lives
02:44Two wolves colliding in a violent fight over and over again
02:47Me the silver grey, him the dark brown
02:50We clawed and slammed into each other with savage force until one of us finally pinned the other
02:54Usually, it was him
02:55I would shift back into human form and press my hand against whatever wound I'd earned in the latest battle
03:00Watching him disappear into the distance with tears filling my eyes
03:03Eight years of hatred
03:04Eight years of loving someone who would never love me back
03:07When the war with the snow wolves finally began, Vincent swore to avenge Jade
03:11But the snow wolves were too strong, and soon the forest was filled with the corpses of our kin
03:15I was in human form, covered in wounds and surrounded by snow wolves closing in for the kill
03:19I had accepted my fate
03:21After eight years of misery, death almost seemed like a relief
03:24Suddenly a brown wolf burst through the pack
03:27It was Vincent
03:28He threw me onto his back and raced through the forest as the snow wolves pursued us
03:32I clung to his fur, too weak and shocked to do anything else
03:35Vincent reached the ancient altar, the same altar where we had almost become mates eight years ago
03:39And shifted into human form
03:41I slid down from his back, struggling to stand
03:44Without hesitation, Vincent drew a blade and cut open his own chest
03:47Blood poured down his body
03:49I stared at him in shock
03:51Vincent, what are you doing?
03:52Drops of his blood fell onto the altar, and a crimson magic circle appeared beneath my feet
03:57A transparent barrier rose around me, sealing me inside
04:00I rushed forward and pounded against the barrier, but it would not break
04:03I'm teleporting you out with my life
04:06Consider it repayment for the years you loved me
04:09But if there is a next life, leave me be with Jade
04:13I screamed, but the snow wolves had arrived at the altar
04:19Vincent turned to face them alone
04:21The wolves leaped onto him and tore into his body
04:24Claws ripped through flesh and blood splashed across the stone altar
04:28I slammed my fists against the barrier as my body slowly began to fade
04:32Vincent, I never imagined you would die to save me
04:35If there truly is another life, I will never chase after you again
04:39My body dissolved into light and disappeared within the magic circle
04:42A single tear mixed with blood fell onto the altar
04:44The crimson circle suddenly turned gold, erupting with a brilliant light that flooded the forest
04:49I opened my eyes
04:50I was standing in the middle of the silver moon palace
04:53My father was looking down at me, sullen and mighty
04:56And Jade, Jade, who should have been dead for 8 years, gazed at me with hatred
05:00Wait, I thought, my mind reeling
05:03I'm actually back to the day when I begged father to make Vincent my mate
05:06Lydia, my father said, his voice heavy with authority
05:10The snow wolves demand a daughter of mine to mate with their alpha and lift the curse for them
05:15If we say no, there will be a war we can't win
05:19Are you still sure you are turning down the offer to marry Vincent?
05:23I stared at him, my heart pounding
05:25This is it
05:26This is the moment everything changes
05:28In my previous life, I had insisted on marrying Vincent
05:32I had manipulated and begged and cried until my father gave in
05:35And what had it gotten me?
05:378 years of hatred
05:388 years of misery
05:39And Vincent dying to save me, only because he felt obligated
05:43No more
05:44Father, I've changed my mind
05:47I will fulfill my duty and marry the snow wolf alpha
05:51Jade suddenly looked up, staring at me in disbelief
05:54Haven't you always wanted to marry Vincent?
05:57What changed your mind?
05:58What are you planning?
05:59I met her gaze without flinching
06:01I'm not planning anything
06:03But I do have one condition
06:05My father's eyes narrowed with suspicion
06:07What condition?
06:09Keep it secret, till the day of the mating ceremony
06:12A flicker of excitement crossed Jade's face
06:14Sure, I have no problem with that
06:17Consider it my repayment for Vincent saving my life in our last life, I thought
06:21It will also be the final chapter between us and this one
06:23My father sighed
06:25Very well
06:26In five days, the two of you will hold their mating ceremonies with your destined partners
06:32I will have the preparations arranged
06:35I lowered my gaze with a bitter smile
06:38Destined partners?
06:39My father has never cared about my happiness
06:41Between Jade and me, he has always favored the daughter my stepmother gave him
06:45The palace doors opened and I stepped outside
06:48The first thing I saw was Vincent kneeling in the pouring rain, his back straight and unmoving
06:52It's him, just like before
06:54Even in this life, he was here begging for Jade on his knees
06:57In my previous life, I had reacted with Fury
07:00I had ordered him taken away
07:02Had watched him struggle and scream as the attendants dragged him off
07:05No! Let me go!
07:08I had made everything worse
07:10This time would be different
07:11I walked toward Vincent with an umbrella, the rain pounding heavily around us
07:15He looked up at me, frowning slightly, then quickly looked away
07:19Why are you here?
07:20Vincent
07:22Have you ever thought about something?
07:24If Jade doesn't go, then the one who must go
07:27Is me
07:28His expression remained cold
07:30As long as you don't interfere, I can lead the army and conquer the snow wolf pack myself
07:36Then neither of you will have to marry that brute
07:39I let out a soft, almost amused laugh
07:42He still doesn't understand
07:44The snow wolves are too strong
07:46In my previous life, they nearly destroyed us
07:49Then I wish, you will get what you wish for
07:52I let out a cold laugh and walked away from Vincent beneath my umbrella
07:55When he sees Jade instead of me when the veil is lifted, he will be so happy
07:59Vincent, you saved my life and our last life
08:02In this one, I've repaid that debt
08:04We are clear
08:05Behind me, I could feel this surprised stare on my retreating figure
08:08She used to always make a scene for this
08:11He was probably thinking
08:12Why is she so calm today?
08:14Let him wonder
08:15It didn't matter anymore
08:16Night fell, and I sat on my bed preparing to sleep
08:20The events of the day had exhausted me emotionally, even if my body wasn't tired
08:24Being back in this time, seeing Vincent so young and full of hatred for me
08:28It was harder than I had expected
08:30Suddenly, loud and chaotic pounding erupted at my door
08:33I frowned and walked over to open it
08:35The moment the door opened, Vincent shoved me back against it
08:38His eyes glowed red and the heavy smell of alcohol clung to him
08:41Lydia, why did you have to send Jade to the Snow Wolf Pack?
08:46You, you let the Alpha to your order
08:48You manipulated the Alpha to give the order
08:51Vincent, let go!
08:54You're hurting me!
08:55The Snow Wolf Pack has a blood feud with us
08:59They have suffered under the curse from our ancestors for centuries
09:03What do you think they will do to Jade once the curses lift?
09:07Is that what you want?
09:09You want your sister dead?
09:10He tightened his grip on my shoulders
09:12His fingers digging into my flesh
09:14Jealous, vicious woman like you doesn't deserve anyone's love!
09:18Do you really think forcing me to mate with you will make me submert?
09:24Dream on!
09:25I froze, my eyes reddening as I stared at him in disbelief
09:28That look of hatred on his face
09:30It's exactly the same as the day we turned our swords against each other in our last life
09:34A bitter smile crossed my lips
09:36I lifted my hand and released a burst of magic
09:39Vincent was thrown several meters away
09:41Crashing to the ground before barely managing to kneel
09:44Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth
09:46Vincent, don't forget your place
09:49He wiped the blood from his lips with his knuckle and looked up at me in stunned silence
09:53Vincent slowly stood
09:55The alcohol haze in his eyes faded slightly as his mind cleared
09:58He walked closer to me
09:59His gaze fell on the red mark along my neck, the mark his grip had left
10:03His throat tightened and a flicker of regret crossed his eyes
10:06I pressed a hand against my shoulder, biting back the pain as I stared at him
10:11I'm sorry
10:12I've had too much to drink
10:14I turned away from him, my expression cold
10:18On the day of the mating ceremony you will get what you want
10:21Now please leave
10:22I turned to go back inside
10:24His hand shot out and grabbed my wrist
10:27Let me take you to the witch doctor
10:28She can treat your injury
10:29I glanced back
10:31His concern appeared genuine
10:33Genuine concern?
10:35Or guilt?
10:36Memories flooded my mind unbidden
10:37I was young, kneeling among a field of bright flowers, picking a red blossom
10:41The pollen suddenly corroded my skin
10:44The flesh on my palm and legs began to blister and bleed
10:47I burst into tears
10:48Young Vincent ran toward me as fast as he could
10:51Lydia, don't be afraid
10:52He rushed for the poisonous flowers and lifted me onto his back
10:55Carrying me out of the field
10:57His own skin was burned and bleeding from the corrosion
10:59I watched him with tearful gratitude
11:02Then another memory
11:03Young Vincent and I were suddenly attacked by a horned beast in the forest
11:06Vincent stepped in front of me to shield me
11:08The creature slammed into him
11:10Sending him crashing to the ground as he caught up blood
11:14Other brown wolves rushed in and drove the beast away
11:16I knelt beside Vincent
11:18Crying as I held him
11:19He gently wiped away my tears
11:22As long as you're safe
11:27After my mother died, Vincent always looked after me
11:29He always protected me
11:31Even risking his own life
11:33I fell for him and thought he was my savior
11:35But then Jade appeared
11:36Jade and I trained with several young pack members under the guidance of the pack witch
11:40Jade suddenly smirked and secretly cast a spell toward me
11:48I was struck and immediately retaliated in anger
11:54Vincent rushed over
11:55Jade, are you alright?
11:58Vanessa, she's faking it!
11:59She attacked me first!
12:02If you ever hurt Jade again, I will never forgive you
12:04I watched in heartbreak as Vincent carried her away
12:07Jade looked back over his shoulder
12:09Smiling mockingly at me
12:11After Jade appeared, I finally understood
12:13Everything Vincent had done for me was only repayment for the kindness my mother once showed him
12:18I mistook it for love and clumped to that illusion for an entire lifetime
12:21I looked at Vincent for a long moment
12:23It's time to let go
12:26There's no need
12:27He stared at me in surprise
12:29She has never looked at me like this before
12:31Why does it feel like she's become a completely different person today?
12:35Just then, Jade appeared
12:36Vincent!
12:37The moment he saw her, his expression softened
12:39Vincent, what about the wolf fang charms you promised to make for me?
12:44He took a small cloth patch from his coat and opened it
12:47Right here
12:48Revealing many golden wolf fang charms of different shapes
12:50Jade's eyes widened with amazement
12:54Vincent, you're incredible!
12:57Well, you must have made these for lots of people, right?
12:59No
13:01I only make them for people I care about
13:03Vincent lowered his head as he took out one charm and fastened it around Jade's neck
13:07My eyes locked onto the wolf fang charm
13:09My chest rose and fell sharply as a ringing sound filled my ears
13:12My mother sat on a large round stone beside a silver wolf statue deep in the forest
13:18Suspended in the air before her was a wolf fang engraved with runes
13:22With her eyes closed, she chanted softly, weaving magic into the fang
13:27Young Vincent and I stood nearby, watching curiously
13:31My mother smiled and placed the wolf hand charm into my little hands
13:36I clapped happily and laughed
13:38A white coffin rested in the forest
13:40My mother lay inside
13:41I knelt on the ground beside it, crying uncontrollably
13:44Standing next to me, young Vincent gently pressed a wolf fang charm into my hand
13:48His own hands were covered in fresh wounds
13:50It was my mother who taught Vincent the spell to enchant the charm
13:54She used to make many charms to protect me
13:56After her death, Vincent took her place
13:58Vincent carefully dripped his blood onto a wolf fang, preparing another charm
14:01Suddenly, I rushed in and snatched it from his hands
14:04I clenched my fist tightly, and the wolf fang crumbled into glittering particles of light
14:09You are not making charms for her!
14:13Vincent stared at me with open disgust
14:15He turned and walked away without another word
14:18I stood frozen as tears welled in my eyes
14:20Vicinit, have you forgotten?
14:22My mother died because of Jade's mother
14:24In the present, Jade glanced deliberately toward me with a provocative smile
14:28Jade doesn't even like those shows tears charms
14:32This is just her way to provoke me
14:35My hands clenched into fists
14:37I turned and shut the door behind me
14:39At the same moment I turned away, Vincent looked up
14:42Why did Lydia leave?
14:45Is she mad at me?
14:46Vincent watched my back for a long moment, deep in thought
14:49Vincent, you despise me so much
14:52Don't worry
14:52In three days, you and I will never have to see each other again for good
14:56Inside the magnificent palace hall, nobles dressed in luxurious attire mingled and danced beneath glittering chandeliers
15:03At the center of the crowd, Jade stood with red hidden eyes, crying softly as several guests gathered around her
15:11in sympathy
15:11After tonight's farewell a banquet, you'll be sent to marry our enemy, the brutal snow wolf king
15:17And as your sister, all Lydia cares about is her marriage with Vincent?
15:21She's even forcing him to mate with her
15:23She's ridiculous
15:24Jade, we'll miss you so much
15:26I am a princess of the Silver Moon Pack
15:28The pack must come before my personal feelings
15:31If the marriage can put a stop to the bloodshed between us, then it shall be done
15:34You've got such a big heart
15:36How can Lydia miss out on your farewell party?
15:38This is outrageous
15:39Maybe she doesn't deserve to be the princess of Silver Moon Pack after all
15:43Talking behind my back
15:44I entered the hall, dressed in an elegant gown, my presence sharp and commanding
15:49I walked straight through the crowd until I stood before Jade and the gossing nobles
15:54Who are you to judge me?
15:56I drained the wine in my glass in one motion and turned
15:59Leaving the banquet alone
16:02Near the silver wolf statue in the garden, I paused beside it, trying to clear the alcohol from my head
16:07Sister, I know you decided to take my place and go to the snow wolf pack instead
16:11But that was your own choice
16:13I never forced you
16:14Behind me, Vincent quietly appeared, watching from a distance
16:17Jade noticed him, a cold smile briefly curled at the corner of her lips
16:20She placed a hand over her chest
16:22Because I stood between them, Vincent could not see what Jade was doing
16:25She secretly cast a spell
16:27Suddenly my arm moved against my will as if guided by an invisible hand
16:30A bolt of lightning magic struck toward Jade
16:32Vinicent reacted instantly
16:34He cast a spell that slammed into me
16:37Vincent rushed forward and pulled Jade protectively into his arms
16:40He glared furiously at me
16:42Enough!
16:42His teeth ground together with anger
16:44I thought you were only a bit childish
16:47But this is too much
16:49You are pure evil
16:50You almost killed Jade
16:52And for what?
16:53If your mother were still alive, she would be utterly ashamed to see what you've become
16:58Vincent
16:59My hand lifted
17:00As magic gathered in my palm
17:04Vincent raised his hand as well
17:06We faced each other in open confrontation
17:09While the surrounding guests stared in shock
17:12In our previous life, during the eight years after we didn't marry
17:15We argued over Jade countless times
17:17But we never truly tried to hurt each other
17:19I raised my hand higher
17:20But this time, golden light burst from my palm and shot toward Vincent
17:24His eyes widened in shock
17:25Around us, the crowd gasped in disbelief
17:28Suddenly, I coughed up blood
17:29The golden light in my hand flickered and dissolved just inches before reaching Vincent
17:33My legs gave out beneath me
17:35My legs gave out beneath me
17:36I fell forward, but landed in a firm pair of arms
17:40Lydia, what's wrong with you?
17:42For a brief moment, panic flashed across his face
17:45With the last of my strength, I grabbed his collar and clenched it tightly
17:49You have no right to speak about my mother
17:56Lydia
17:56Lydia
17:59Vincent, I
18:00Vincent did not stop
18:02His attention remained entirely on me as he strode away, leaving Jade behind
18:06Jade's expression darkened instantly
18:08Lydia
18:10You're already going to marry our enemy and walk to your own death
18:13Yet you're still trying to deal Vincent from me
18:16The next thing I knew, I was lying weakly on my bed
18:20Barely conscious as the witch doctor finished casting a healing spell and quietly left the room
18:24I slowly opened my eyes
18:26The first thing I saw was Vincent standing beside the bed, waiting with visible guilt in his expression
18:31In our previous life, Vincent never came to see me on his own
18:34Even when I was gravely ill, he only sent someone to summon a healer
18:38He avoided me as if I were a plague
18:41Why are you here?
18:42I'm sorry
18:45There's no need for apologies between us anymore
18:48Leaf
18:49I closed my eyes
18:50Behind me, a sharp sound suddenly echoed through the room
18:53Vincent had slapped himself hard across the face
18:56Moments later, the sound of his footsteps faded
18:59The door opened, then closed
19:01Only then did I fully open my eyes again
19:03Vincent, you will be free very soon
19:06In just a few days, you will finally marry the woman you have loved through both lifetimes
19:10After that, you will never have to see me again
19:13And I will never have to suffer for you anymore
19:16Moonlight outlined Vincent's tall figure standing outside my door
19:20He remained there, motionless, for two days and nights
19:25Inside my room, I opened, a silver jewel box encrusted with diamonds
19:30Inside rested a wolf hand charm
19:32The one Vincent had made for me long ago, before Jade
19:36Before everything changed
19:37Through the window, I glanced toward Vincent, standing outside
19:41Since that night, Vincent has stood outside my door for two days and nights
19:45But I haven't let him in
19:47Lydia, I will marry you
19:50I will spend the rest of my life making up for what I did to hurt you
19:53I swear it in the name of the goddess of the moon
19:56I raised my hand and quietly cast a spell
20:00Inside the room, the lights dimmed instantly
20:03Vincent waited outside for a moment longer
20:05Then, realizing I would not answer him, he finally turned and walked away
20:10I heard his footsteps fade
20:12A single tear slipped down from the corner of my eye
20:15He has no idea
20:16Tomorrow I will take my sister's place and marry the snow wolf Alpha
20:19I will mate with our enemy
20:21With little chance to survive
20:22The woman he will marry is Jade
20:24Deep within the silver moon pack's forest, white roses bloomed everywhere on the day of the mating ceremonies
20:30The ceremonial grounds were lavishly decorated, and a crowd gathered around the central altar
20:35As that's Kantrish and Iva Stalans of Weisinguna Sendyongs
20:38At the boundary where the forest met the snow fields, I stood alone
20:42I turned back to look at the dense forest behind me, my eyes filled with quiet reluctance
20:47By now, Vincent has probably received the surprise I left for him
20:51Vincent, what I owed you from our last life has been repaid
20:54A pack of snow white wolves emerged from the snowy plain and approached me, their eyes fierce
20:59You longer belong to the forest
21:02Come with us
21:04I turned back calmly and walked toward them
21:07Wyss lifted a veil over my face, then climbed onto the back of one of the wolves
21:11In the distance, a brown wolf burst from the forest, racing toward us at full speed
21:17The wolf skidded to a halt before the snow wolves but was quickly surrounded
21:21With no other choice, it shifted into human form
21:24It was Vincent
21:25I turned and saw his face, shock flooded my expression
21:29Vincent, what is he doing here?
21:31I sat atop the snow wolf, my face hidden beneath the veil
21:34Isn't he supposed to be at the altar with Jade, preparing for the mating ceremony?
21:39What is he doing here?
21:40Vincent spotted me and immediately rushed forward
21:42The snow wolves beside me surged ahead as one, walking his path and snarling fiercely
21:47Vincent Armand, one more step and the snow wolf army will charge into your land and tear your clan apart
21:55Vincent gritted his teeth and stopped, but his eyes remained fixed on me, filled with reluctance and aching affection
22:02Let me escort you
22:03I remained silent
22:06Are you mad at me for marrying your sister?
22:09I froze slightly
22:10So he thinks I'm Jade, and he got here early for her
22:14Guess the big surprise hasn't reached him yet
22:16But this is a debt I owe her
22:18I owe it to her mother
22:20I had no other choice
22:22Jade, forgive me, please
22:24Beneath my veil, toll-like her veil, I let out a bitter smile
22:28I'm sorry I couldn't stop this marriage
22:31But one day, I will lead an army
22:34Crush the snow wolf pack
22:36And bring you back safe and unharmed
22:40Believe me, Vincent Armand
22:42Back away now, or your life ends here
22:47Take me
22:48The snow wolf snarled again and forced Vincent backward before turning as one
22:52They sprinted across the snow field and disappeared into the distance
22:56Behind us, Vincent chased a few desperate steps before stopping
23:00Jade aid!
23:02Vincent walked back toward the forest in a daze, each step feeling heavy
23:06If I had tried just a little harder, maybe Jade wouldn't have had to go, he was probably thinking
23:11She must hate me for this
23:12But there's nothing I could do
23:14He returned to the ceremonial altar deep within the forest
23:17The gathered guests were visibly exhausted from waiting
23:20When they saw Vincent return, many of them let out quiet sighs of relief
23:25Vincent, your behavior is outrageous
23:27You kept all these people waiting and left my daughter standing here humiliated
23:31Is this a message to my house?
23:34Vincent knelt halfway in a formal salute, accepting the reprimand without protest
23:39Jade quickly reached for my father's arm and gently shook her head at him, coaxing
23:45Forget it, let's begin
23:46Vincent took a deep breath and slowly walked up onto the altar
23:49He stopped in front of Jade
23:51Regret filled his face
23:53The witch raised her staff and chanted an incantation
23:56The moon god be our witness
23:58Princess Jade and Beta Vincent shall mark one another with the bite of a mate bond
24:04From this moment on, your souls are bound till death do you part
24:11Under my father's stern gaze and the expectant eyes of the guests, Jade stepped closer to Vincent
24:16Vincent closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly, fists clenched tightly
24:20This is it, Jade and I will finally become destined mates
24:23Jade removed her veil and bit down on Vincent's neck
24:26That instant, a silver moon mark appeared on Vincent's wrist
24:29Jade tilted her head, watching him with anticipation
24:33Vincent opened his eyes and lowered his head to look at her
24:35The moment he saw her face, he froze
24:38Shock flooded his expression
24:40What? Jade?
24:41Vincent stared at Jade in disbelief
24:44Why is it you?
24:46Jade avoided his gaze, her expression shy and hesitant
24:49I don't know why either
24:52Yesterday my sister she was said you willing to go to the snow wolf pack, so
24:55Vincent's eyes widened
24:57What did you say?
24:58The one marrying into the snow wolf pack is Lydia?
25:01He suddenly grabbed Jade by the shoulders, his hands trembling
25:03Then that woman, the one taken away by the snow wolves alone
25:08I'm sorry I couldn't stop you from marrying our enemy
25:12But listen, one day I will lead an army, crush those snow wolves and make them beg for life beneath
25:16our feet
25:17I will bring you back
25:20Safe and sound
25:22Trust me
25:23Behind the veil, she gave a bitter smile
25:26Time to go
25:29The snow wolf snarled and forced him back before turning his one and sprinting away
25:32He chased after them a few desperate steps
25:35Jade!
25:38Vincent suddenly bolted from the altar platform
25:40Mid stride, he transformed into a wolf and sprinted toward the snowfields at full speed
25:46Vincent! Where are you going?
25:48But he was already gone, his voice echoing with anguish and regret
25:52Inside the snow wolf palace, the halls were built entirely from ice and packed snow, cold and gleaming beneath pale
25:57light
25:57I walked slowly into the grand hall
25:59Every snow wolf present stared at me with undisguised hatred
26:02Low murmurs rippled through the crowd
26:04At the far end of the hall sat the ice throne
26:07Upon it lounged Damien Wraith, white hair, loose curls, and a white cloak draped across his shoulders
26:12His gaze rested on me as though he were looking at a corpse
26:15I opened my mouth to speak
26:17But Damien attacked
26:18I instantly sensed the killing intent
26:21My eyes sharpened, with a flash of magic
26:23A long sword appeared in my hand, just in time to block the wolf claws of Damien
26:27Who lunged at me in his wolf form
26:29In the blink of an eye, we exchanged several rapid strikes
26:32Damien shifted back into human form
26:34The earlier contempt in his eyes faded slightly, replaced by a flicker of interest
26:38Then he vanished
26:39A heartbeat later he reappeared behind me, gripping my throat in a crushing hold
26:44His chest pressed against my back as he restrained me
26:47I struggled to breathe
26:48You can't kill me!
26:50Your people have suffered under the silver moon curse for generations
26:53If you don't form a mate bond with me, none of you will live past 25
26:58Damien's hand morphed into a wolf claw and pierced into my chest
27:01Blood trickled down as he studied the terror in my eyes with cold fascination
27:07It seems you don't know
27:09Your blood alone can also weaken the curse
27:12Looking at him now, so young yet overflowing with killing intent
27:15I finally understand why Jade died the very day she came here to form the bond
27:18I forced myself to speak through the pain
27:20My blood can't save your entire clan
27:23My blood can't save your entire clan
27:25But if you bond with me, the curse will truly be broken
27:28And after that, you'll never have to fear the silver moon curse again
27:32The hall erupted into heated discussion
27:35Damien slowly released me and stepped back
27:39I clutched my throat, gasping for air
27:41Suddenly gripped my chin and lifted my face
27:44Forcing me to meet his eyes
27:46He studied me for a moment
27:48Interesting
27:49I'll give you a chance to live
27:51Walk out of this hall alive
27:53If you fail, I'll lock you away and drain your blood every day
27:56Until the curse on every snow wolf is gone
27:59Before I could respond, Damien disappeared
28:01I looked around
28:03Every snow wolf in the hall vanished at the same time
28:05Damien?
28:07Where did you all go?
28:10A low, thunderous brawl suddenly echoed from above
28:12I slowly lifted my gaze
28:14Beyond the transparent ice ceiling
28:16A massive white bear stood outside, staring down at me
28:19Its eyes blazed with hunger and savage intent
28:21My eyes widened in horror
28:23Hey, a giant bear!
28:25Not far from the palace
28:26Damien and several snow wolves stood quietly
28:29Observing me through the transparent ice structure
28:31Alpha
28:32Are you truly going to kill her?
28:34Damien's eyes remained cold as he watched me inside
28:37If what she said is true
28:38We can always kill her after the curse is lifted
28:41But blood feuds like ours are never forgotten
28:43If we simply let her go
28:45Our ancestors and the clansmen who died will never accept it
28:48He paused, his gaze fixed on me
28:50Let her suffer a little first
28:52Inside the palace, I stood tense and alert
28:54Damien watched me closely
28:56I suddenly turned and tried to run
28:58With a thunderous crash, the giant bear smashed through the ice roof
29:02Shards of frozen stone rained down as it landed directly in front of me
29:05Blocking my escape
29:06Outside, Damien continued watching
29:08Looking at her closely, he thought
29:11That she is quite lively and beautiful
29:13A pity she was born in the wrong place and came to the wrong place
29:16She was always destined to become a sacrifice for her hatred
29:19He exhaled quietly
29:21He had no desire to watch me torn apart
29:23Turning away, he gave an order
29:25When it's over, bring her body back to the inner hall
29:27Have the witch actor keep her alive
29:29That will be enough
29:30Yes, Alpha
29:32Damien began to walk away
29:33He had barely taken a few steps when startled cries erupted behind him
29:38Alpha, something's happening
29:40Damien froze in place
29:42Momentarily stunned
29:43Inside the palace, I drew my sword
29:45The entire blade erupted into blazing flames
29:50Shock, quickly followed by admiration crossed his features
29:53On my face, cold sweat beaded across my skin
29:57Yet my expression remained steady and calm
30:01I stood with my flaming sword raised
30:03The fear and panic that once filled my eyes had completely vanished
30:06The roaring flames startled the giant bear
30:09It instinctively retreated, letting out a low, uneasy growl
30:12I held the burning sword in one hand while chanting a spell with the other
30:16Golden runes spilled from my lips one after a gather, spiraling around the blade
30:20The flames surged higher and higher, growing nearly as tall as the bear itself
30:28With a fierce shout, I lifted the sword with both hands
30:31And leaped into the air, charging towards the giant bear
30:34Outside, watching from a distance, Damien's expression deepened with surprise
30:38In his eyes now shone unmistakable admiration
30:41The blazing fire terrified the giant bear, causing it to turn and flee
30:44But I struck first
30:46With a powerful swing, I brought the sword down in a blazing arc
30:49One clean strike
30:51The bear's head was severed instantly
30:52The massive body collapsed to the ground, shaking the palace like an earthquake
30:56I landed lightly
30:58I planted one foot on the fallen bear's head
31:00My body smeared with blood and fire
31:02After a moment, my strength gave way
31:05My body swayed
31:06I drove the sword into the ground to stable myself
31:09Then dropped to one knee, breathing heavily
31:12A deep claw wound tore across my right shoulder
31:15Blood steadily soaking through my clothes
31:17The watching snow wolves stared in disbelief
31:20Everyone except Damien looked completely stunned
31:23That silver moon woman killed a giant bear by herself
31:25If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I never would have believed it
31:29Could she possess some extraordinary power?
31:33Alpha, should we take advantage of her weakness and finish her off?
31:36Damien studied me for a long moment
31:38Then he lifted his hand slightly and turned away
31:40Withdraw
31:41The others froze briefly before quickly following him
31:43As they left, the first subordinate kept glancing back toward me, muttering quietly
31:48Can't believe it
31:49The alpha who's always so cold and ruthless actually let that woman live
31:53Inside my new room, I sat on the edge of the bed with one shoulder exposed
31:56I poured a vial of crystal clear glowing liquid onto the claw wound on my shoulder
32:00Unnoticed by me, Damien quietly stepped inside
32:03Seeing me with my robe partly loosened, he leaned against the doorframe and watched in silence for a moment
32:08The liquid touched the wound
32:10The torn flesh immediately began to close
32:12Just as I reached to pull my clothes back into place, Damien walked over and pressed down on the hand
32:17holding my robe
32:18I startled, my heart suddenly tightening
32:20Who's there?
32:21I turned my head
32:22Damien stood before me
32:24An untamed aura of wildness and killing intent radiating from him
32:28In an instant, a dagger slid from my sleeve
32:30I raised it and pressed the blade against Damien's throat
32:33He arched a brow, completely unafraid
32:36Instead of retreating, his hand slid along my arm before gripping my chin and lifting my face toward his
32:41His gaze lingered between my eyes and my lips
32:44Such courage
32:46Do you really think you could kill me?
32:50Suddenly my body froze
32:52I could no longer move
32:53The dagger clenched in my hand became encased in frost
32:56The thin layer of ice spread quickly before shattering in the fragments
32:59Alarm flashed across my eyes
33:02Damien lifted me effortlessly and threw me down onto the bed
33:05I pushed against his chest in panic, watching him warily
33:08What are you doing?
33:09Making you fulfill your obligation
33:12What?
33:13You're going to become my mate
33:16Damien leaned down
33:17His sharp fangs pierced the side of my neck
33:20I grabbed his chest instinctively, trying to push him away
33:23At that moment, a snow white mark appeared on my wrist
33:26Damien pulled me into a fierce kiss
33:32Loud pounding erupted at the door
33:36Alpha!
33:37The silver moon Veda Vincent has forced his way into the palace alone
33:40He says he'll die before leaving, unless he sees the Luna
33:43Then what do you want from me?
33:46I don't understand
33:48The silver moon Veda Vincent has forced his way into the palace
33:48The silver moon Veda Vincent has forced his way into the palace
33:48The silver moon Veda Vincent has forced his way into the palace
33:49The silver moon Veda Vincent has forced his way into the palace
