00:00on the night my husband died saving me his last words were if there is a next life leave me

00:06with jade so when i woke up back on the day i begged my father to let me marry him
00:13i chose
00:14someone else instead my first mating ceremony with vincent i learned the true weight of hatred
00:21before the silver moon god princess lydia and beta vincent shall mark one another bite the neck
00:29and seal your bond as mates till death do you part my heart pounded so hard i could hear it
00:36in my
00:36ears i stepped forward my legs barely supporting me and leaned toward vincent's neck a silver moon
00:42mark appeared on his wrist the first sign that the bond was forming that the goddess had blessed
00:46our union vincent lowered his head as if to return the gesture but he did not bite me and then
00:51he
00:51whispered you forced jade to marry the alpha of the snow wolf pack and now you're forcing me to mate
00:57with you i hate you lydia i will never love you i froze the hopeful smile on my face slowly
01:04disappeared replaced by shock and heartbreak so profound i thought i might shatter into pieces
01:08right there on the altar vincent straightened the silver moon mark on his wrist the mark that
01:13should have bound us together for eternity shattered into fragments of light and faded away without
01:18another word he turned and walked away from the altar vincent come back i called after him my voice
01:25breaking but he didn't turn around he didn't even slow down i stood there in my beautiful silver gray
01:30gown surrounded by hundreds of staring eyes and felt my world collapse vincent loved my stepsister
01:36he always had and i was just the woman standing in their way that night while i stood humiliated at
01:42my own mating ceremony my stepsister jade met a far worse fate in a snow wolf territory far from our
01:48forest
01:48jade lay pinned to a glowing blood red magic circle several snow wolves clamped their jaws onto her arms and
01:53legs holding her down as she struggled in agony blood poured from her wounds as the ritual began
01:58the magic circle erupted with blinding crimson light around 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
02:09disappeared the curse that bound them the curse my ancestors had placed on them centuries ago
02:13had been lifted the snow wolves burst into tears of relief and joy but their expression soon
02:19turned cold as they looked down at jade trembling on the ground one by one they transformed into wolves
02:24and descended upon her jade screams echoed through the night as the pack tore her apart the snow wolves
02:29killed jade on her arrival they drained her blood to cure their curse then they devoured her until nothing
02:34remained for eight years after that night hatred was all there was between vincent and me we fought
02:40constantly we clashed in pack meetings in training in every aspect of our lives two wolves colliding in a
02:46violent fight over and over again me the silver gray him the dark brown we clawed and slammed into
02:51each other with savage force until one of us finally pinned the other usually it was him i would shift
02:56back 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 eight years of hatred eight years of
03:05loving someone who would never love me back when the war with the snow wolves finally began vincent swore
03:10to avenge jade but the snow wolves were too strong and soon the forest was filled with the corpses of
03:14our
03:15kin i was in human form covered in wounds and surrounded by snow wolves closing in for the kill
03:19i had accepted my fate after eight years of misery death almost seemed like a relief suddenly a brown
03:25wolf burst through the pack it was vincent he threw me onto his back and raced through the forest as
03:30the
03:30snow wolves pursued us i clung to his fur too weak and shocked to do anything else vincent reached the
03:36ancient altar the same altar where we had almost become mates eight years ago and shifted into human form
03:41i slid down from his back struggling to stand without hesitation vincent drew a blade and cut open his own
03:47chest
03:47blood poured down his body i stared at him in shock vincent 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 the inside i rushed forward and pounded against the barrier
04:02but it would not break i'm teleporting you out with my life considerate repayment for the years you loved me
04:09but if there is a next life leave me be with jaded
04:16i screamed that the snow wolves had arrived at the altar vincent turned to face them alone
04:21the wolves leaped onto him and tore into his body claws ripped through flesh and blood splashed across the stone
04:26altar
04:28vincent i 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
04:38my 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 i was standing in the middle of the silver moon palace
04:53my father was looking down at me sullen and mighty and jade jade who should have been dead for eight
04:58years
04:59gazed at me with hatred wait 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
05:24my heart pounding
05:25this is it
05:26this is the moment everything changes
05:28in my previous life
05:30i 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
05:36eight years of hatred
05:38eight years of misery
05:39and vincent dying to save me
05:41only because he felt obligated
05:43no more
05:43father
05:45i've changed my mind
05:46i 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
06:08keep it secret till the day of the mating ceremony
06:11a flicker of excitement crossed jade's face
06:14sure
06:15i have no problem with that
06:17consider it my repayment for vincent saving my life in our last life
06:20i thought
06:20it 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
06:37destined partners
06:39my father has never cared about my happiness
06:41between jade and me
06:43he 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
06:51his back straight and unmoving
06:52it's him
06:53just like before
06:54even in this life
06:55he was here begging for jade on his knees
06:57in my previous life
06:59i had reacted with fury
07:00i had ordered him taken away
07:02had watched him struggle and scream as the attendants dragged him off
07:08i had made everything worse
07:10this time would be different
07:11i walked toward vincent with an umbrella
07:14the rain pounding heavily around us
07:15he looked up at me
07:17frowning slightly
07:18then quickly looked away
07:19why are you here
07:20vincent
07:21have you ever thought about something
07:24if jade doesn't go
07:25then the one who must go
07:27is me
07:28his expression remained cold
07:30as long as you don't interfere
07:32i 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
07:41almost amused laugh
07:42he still doesn't understand
07:44the snow wolves are too strong
07:46in my previous life
07:47they nearly destroyed us
07:49then i wish
07:50you will get what you wish for
07:52i let out a cold laugh
07:53and walked away from vincent beneath my umbrella
07:55when he sees jade instead of me
07:57when the veil is lifted
07:58he will be so happy
07:59vincent you saved my life in our last life
08:02in this one
08:03i've repaid that debt
08:04we are clear
08:05behind me
08:06i could feel his 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
08:13let him wonder
08:15it didn't matter anymore
08:16night fell
08:18and i sat on my bed preparing to sleep
08:20the events of the day had exhausted me emotionally
08:22even if my body wasn't tired
08:24being back in this time
08:25seeing vincent so young and full of hatred for me
08:28it was harder than i had expected
08:30suddenly
08:30loud and chaotic pounding erupted at my door
08:33i frowned and walked over to open it
08:35the moment the door opened
08:36vincent shoved me back against it
08:38his eyes glowed red
08:39and the heavy smell of alcohol clung to him
08:41lydia
08:42why did you have to send jade to the snow wolf pack
08:46you
08:46you let the alpha to your order
08:48you manipulated the alpha to give the order
08:51vincent let go
08:53you're hurting me
08:55the snow wolf pack
08:56has a blood feud with us
08:58they 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
09:08you 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
09:16doesn't deserve anyone's love
09:18do you really think
09:19forcing me to mate with you
09:21will make me submert
09:24dream on
09:25i froze
09:26my 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
09:32we 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
09:48don't forget your place
09:49he wiped the blood from his lips with his knuckle
09:51and 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
10:02the 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
10:08biting 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
10:15my expression cold
10:18on the day of the mating ceremony
10:20you 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
10:34or guilt
10:35memories flooded my mind unbidden
10:37i was young
10:39kneeling among a field of bright flowers
10:40picking 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 through 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
11:26after my mother died
11:28vincent 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
11:39under 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
11:56are you alright
11:57vincent she's faking it
11:59she attacked me first
12:02if you ever hurt jade again
12:03i 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 clung 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
12:34just then jade appeared
12:36vincent
12:37the moment he saw her his expression softened
12:39vincent
12:41what about the wolf fang charms you promised to make for me
12:43he 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 my chest rose and fell sharply as a ringing sound filled my
13:12ears
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
13:26weaving magic into the fang young vincent and i stood nearby watching curiously my mother smiled and placed the wolf
13:34hand charm into my little hands i clapped happily and laughed a white coffin rested in the forest my mother
13:41lay inside
13:41i knelt on the ground beside it crying uncontrollably standing next to me
13:46young 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 that's enough how long are you going to keep bullying jade
14:13vincent stared at me with open disgust he turned and walked away without another word
14:18i stood frozen as tears welled in my eyes
14:20vicinnet have you forgotten my 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 in three days you and i will never have to see each other again for good
14:56inside the magnificent palace hall
14:59nobles 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 she's even forcing him to mate
15:22with her she's ridiculous jade we'll miss you so much
15:26i am a princess of the silver moon pack the 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
15:35you've got such a big heart how can lydia miss out on your farewell party
15:38this is outrageous maybe she doesn't deserve to be the princess of silver moon pack after all
15:43talking behind my back i 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
16:04i 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 i never forced you
16:14behind me vincent quietly appeared watching from a distance jade noticed him
16:18a cold smile briefly curled at the corner of her lips
16:20she placed a hand over her chest because i stood between them
16:23vincent 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
16:32vinicit 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
17:04vinicit 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 we argued over jade countless times
17:17but we never truly tried to hurt each other
17:19i raised my hand higher but this time golden light burst from my palm and shot toward vincent
17:24his eyes widened and shot around us the crowd's 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
17:46with 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
18:01vincent did not stop
18:02his attention remained entirely on me as he strode away
18:05leaving jade behind
18:06jade's expression darkened instantly
18:08lydia
18:10you're already going to marry our enemy
18:12and walk to your own death
18:13yet you're still trying to steal 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
18:29waiting with visible guilt in his expression
18:31in our previous life vincent never came to see me on his own
18:35even when i was gravely ill
18:36he only sent someone to summon a healer
18:39he 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
19:07you 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
19:15for you anymore moonlight 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
19:35before 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
19:47i will marry you
19:50i will spend the rest of my life making up for what i did to hurt you
19:54i 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
20:01the lights dimmed instantly
20:03vincent waited outside for a moment longer
20:05then realizing i would not answer him
20:08he 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
20:25deep within the silver moon packs forest
20:27white roses bloomed everywhere on the day of the mating ceremonies
20:30the ceremonial grounds were lavishly decorated
20:32and a crowd gathered around the central altar
20:35as that's cantricion of his thalans of weisinguna sentyons
20:38at the boundary where the forest met the snow fields
20:41i stood alone
20:42i turned back to look at the dense forest behind me
20:45my eyes filled with quiet reluctance
20:47by now vincent has probably received the surprise i left for him
20:51vincent
20:51what 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
20:58their eyes fierce
20:59you longer belong to the forest
21:02come with us
21:04i turned back calmly and walked toward them
21:07was lifted a veil over my face
21:09then climbed onto the back of one of the wolves
21:11in the distance
21:13a brown wolf burst from the forest
21:15racing toward us at full speed
21:17the wolf skidded to a halt before the snow wolves
21:19but was quickly surrounded
21:21with no other choice
21:22it shifted into human form
21:24it was vincent
21:25i turned and saw his face
21:27shock flooded my expression
21:29vincent what is he doing here
21:31i sat atop the snow wolf
21:32my face hidden beneath the veil
21:34isn't he supposed to be at the altar with jade
21:37preparing for the mating ceremony
21:38what is he doing here
21:40vincent spotted me and immediately rushed forward
21:42the snow wolves beside me surged ahead as one
21:45blocking his path and snarling fiercely
21:47vincent armand
21:48one more step
21:50and the snow wolf army will charge into your land
21:53and tear your clan apart
21:55vincent gritted his teeth and stopped
21:57but his eyes remained fixed on me
21:59filled with reluctance and aching affection
22:02let me escort you
22:03i remained silent
22:06are you mad at me for marrying your sister
22:08i froze slightly
22:10so he thinks i'm jade
22:12and 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
22:24neath my veil toll like her veil
22:26i let out a bitter smile
22:28i'm sorry i couldn't stop this marriage
22:32but one day i will lead an army
22:34crush the snow wolf pack
22:36and bring you back safe and unharmed
22:40believe me
22:41vincent armand
22:42back away now
22:43or your life ends here
22:47take me
22:48the snow wolf snarled again
22:49and forced vincent backward
22:51before turning as one
22:52they sprinted across the snow field
22:54and disappeared into the distance
22:56behind us
22:57vincent chased a few desperate steps
22:59before stopping
23:00jade aid
23:01vincent walked back toward the forest in a daze
23:05each step feeling heavy
23:06if i had tried just a little harder
23:08maybe jade wouldn't have had to go
23:10he 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
23:16deep within the forest
23:17the gathered guests were visibly exhausted
23:19from waiting
23:20when they saw vincent return
23:22many of them let out quiet sighs of relief
23:25vincent
23:25your behavior is outrageous
23:28you kept all these people waiting
23:29left my daughter standing here humiliated
23:31is this a message to my house
23:35vincent knelt halfway in a formal salute
23:37accepting the reprimand without protest
23:39jade quickly reached for my father's arm
23:41and gently shook her head at him
23:42coaxing
23:45forget it let's begin
23:47vincent took a deep breath
23:48and slowly walked up onto the altar
23:49he stopped in front of jade
23:51regret filled his face
23:53the witch raised her staff
23:54and chanted an incantation
23:56the moon god be our witness
23:59princess jade and beta vincent
24:01shall mark one another
24:02with the bite of a mate bond
24:04from this moment on
24:06your souls are bound
24:08till death do you part
24:11under my father's stern gaze
24:13and the expectant eyes of the guests
24:14jade stepped closer to vincent
24:16vincent closed his eyes
24:17and tilted his head slightly
24:18fists clenched tightly
24:20this is it
24:21jade and i will finally become destined mates
24:24jade removed her veil
24:25and bit down on vincent's neck
24:26that instant
24:27a silver moon mark appeared on vincent's wrist
24:29jade tilted her head
24:31watching him with anticipation
24:33vincent opened his eyes
24:34and lowered his head to look at her
24:35the moment he saw her face
24:37he froze
24:38shock flooded his expression
24:40what jade
24:41vincent stared at jade in disbelief
24:44why is it you
24:47jade avoided his gaze
24:48her expression shy and hesitant
24:50i don't know why either
24:52yesterday my sister she said
24:53you willing to go to the snow wolf pack
24:55so
24:55vincent's eyes widened
24:57what did you say
24:58the one marrying into the snow wolf pack
25:00is lydia
25:00he suddenly grabbed jade by the shoulders
25:03his hands trembling
25:04and that woman
25:05the one taken away by the snow wolves alone
25:08i'm sorry i couldn't stop you from marrying our enemy
25:12but listen
25:13one day i will lead an army
25:14crush those snow wolves
25:15and make them beg for life beneath our feet
25:18i will bring you back
25:20safe and sound
25:22trust me
25:23behind the veil
25:24behind the veil
25:25she gave a bitter smile
25:27time to go
25:29the snow wolf snarled and forced him back before turning his one and sprinting away
25:33he chased after them a few desperate steps
25:36jade
25:38vincent suddenly bolted from the altar platform
25:41midst right
25:42he transformed into a wolf and sprinted toward the snowfields at full speed
25:47vincent where are you going
25:48but he was already gone
25:50his voice echoing with anguish and regret
25:52inside the snow wolf palace
25:54the halls were built entirely from ice and packed snow
25:56cold and gleaming beneath pale light
25:58i walked slowly into the grand hall
26:00every snow wolf present stared at me with undisguised hatred
26:03low murmurs rippled through the crowd
26:05at the far end of the hall sat the ice throne
26:07upon it lounged damien wraith
26:09white hair
26:09loose curls
26:10and 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
26:19i instantly sensed the killing intent
26:21my eyes sharpened
26:22with a flash of magic
26:24a long sword appeared in my hand
26:25just 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
26:30we exchanged several rapid strikes
26:32damien shifted back into human form
26:34the earlier contempt in his eyes faded slightly
26:37replaced by a flicker of interest
26:38then he vanished
26:40a heartbeat later he reappeared behind me
26:42gripping 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
26:56none 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
27:13so 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
27:21my blood can't save your entire clan
27:23my blood can't save your entire clan
27:25but if you bond with me
27:27the curse will truly be broken
27:29and after that
27:30you'll never have to fear the silver moon curse again
27:33the hall erupted into heated discussion
27:36damien slowly released me and stepped back
27:39i clutched my throat
27:40gasping for air
27:41suddenly gripped my chin
27:43and lifted my face
27:45forcing 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
27:54i'll lock you away and drain your blood every day until the curse on every snow wolf is gone
27:59before i could respond
28:01damien disappeared
28:01i looked around
28:03every snow wolf in the hall vanished at the same time
28:06damien
28:07where did you all go
28:10a low thunderous growl suddenly echoed from above
28:13i slowly lifted my gaze
28:15beyond the transparent ice ceiling
28:16a massive white bear stood outside
28:18staring down at me
28:19its eyes blazed with hunger and savage intent
28:21my eyes widened in horror
28:23hey giant bear
28:25not far from the palace
28:27damien and several snow wolves stood quietly
28:29observing me through the transparent ice structure
28:31alpha
28:33are 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
28:49he paused
28:49his gaze fixed on me
28:51let her suffer a little first
28:52inside the palace
28:53i stood tense and alert
28:55damien watched me closely
28:56i suddenly turned and tried to run
28:59with a thunderous crash
29:00the 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
29:07damien continued watching
29:09looking at her closely
29:10he thought
29:11she is quite lively
29:12and beautiful
29:13a pity she was born in the wrong place
29:15and 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
29:24he gave an order
29:25when it's over
29:26bring her body back to the inner hall
29:28have the witch actor keep her alive
29:30that will be enough
29:31yes alpha
29:32damien began to walk away
29:34he had barely taken a few steps
29:35when startled cries erupted behind him
29:38alpha
29:39something's happening
29:40damien froze in place
29:42momentarily stunned
29:43inside the palace
29:44i drew my sword
29:45the entire blade erupted into blazing flames
29:50shock
29:51quickly followed by admiration crossed his features
29:53on my face
29:55cold 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
30:07the roaring flame startled the giant bear
30:09it instinctively retreated
30:11letting out a low
30:12uneasy growl
30:13i 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
30:19spiraling around the blade
30:20the flames surged higher and higher
30:23growing nearly as tall as the bear itself
30:28with a fierce shout
30:29i lifted the sword with both hands
30:31and leaped into the air
30:32charging towards the giant bear
30:34outside
30:35watching from a distance
30:36damien's expression deepened with surprise
30:38in his eyes now shone unmistakable admiration
30:41the blazing fire terrified the giant bear
30:43causing it to turn and flee
30:45but i struck first
30:46with a powerful swing
30:48i brought the sword down in a blazing arc
30:49one clean strike
30:51the bear's head was severed instantly
30:53the massive body collapsed to the ground
30:55shaking 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
31:03my strength gave way
31:05my body swayed
31:06i drove the sword into the ground to stable myself
31:09then dropped to one knee
31:11breathing 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
31:27i never would have believed it
31:30could she possess some extraordinary power
31:33alpha
31:34should we take advantage of her weakness
31:35and 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
31:44as they left
31:45the first subordinate kept glancing back toward me
31:47muttering quietly
31:53inside my new room
31:54i 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
32:01unnoticed by me
32:02damien quietly stepped inside
32:04seeing me with my robe partly loosened
32:06he 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
32:13just as i reached to pull my clothes back into place
32:15damien walked over and pressed down on the hand holding my robe
32:18i startled
32:19my heart suddenly tightening
32:20who's there
32:21i turned my head
32:23damien stood before me
32:24an untamed aura of wildness and killing intent radiating from him
32:28in an instant
32:29a 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
32:37his 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
32:54the dagger clenched in my hand became encased in frost
32:56the thin layer of ice spread quickly before shattering in the fragments
33:00alarm flashed across my eyes
33:02damien lifted me effortlessly and threw me down onto the bed
33:05i pushed against his chest in panic
33:07watching him warily
33:08what are you doing
33:09making you fulfill your obligation
33:12what
33:14you'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
33:22trying to push him away
33:23at that moment
33:24a 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
33:39has forced his way into the palace alone
